The Glenn Beck Program - Dear GOP: Get Your Crap Together | 10/16/23

Episode Date: October 16, 2023

Glenn gives a history lesson on the background between Israel and Palestine, explaining why Israel defending itself is the only solution. Despite the drastically wrong climate change predictions, “e...xperts” still claim it’s a dire issue. Glenn takes calls from listeners to discuss varying topics like his 40 Days to Renew the Covenant, climate change, and Aleksandr Dugin. Glenn discusses the difficulty and importance of battling addiction. Glenn and Stu discuss the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the issues in our own country. Glenn and Stu blast House Republicans for struggling to agree on a new speaker. Glenn and Stu examine where the pro-life movement should focus next to continue changing the nation’s opinion on abortion.

A lot of truth dropping on today's program. We begin dropping some of that truth in 66. seconds. First, a guy that has been looking to get on this program for a long time, Bill Binkerson
Starting point is 00:03:16 is... Trying to do work! Bill Binkerson is here with us. Hi, Bill. How are you? You there? Yeah. Yes, hello? Hi, how are you? Yes, I'm here. I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm here. Well, you've been looking forward to talk about that shoe that apparently is lodged somewhere in a cavity of yours. Several orifices are filled with shoes.
Starting point is 00:03:41 And sounds painful. And actually going out different footwear. Sandals, I've got a Birkenstock. Yeah, you don't want to hear any more about that. Right. How it got up there. But it was a hell of a night. So it was in trouble.
Starting point is 00:03:58 It was what I would call recreational. But you're in a lot of pain. You're in a lot of pain. I sure am. Yeah. You know what? They don't come out as easily as they go in. They don't come out as easily as they go in.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Have you tried to Reducing the inflammation? Maybe being able to help. Well, no, there's no product that will do that. No, there's a relief factor. Well, I don't want to do any heavy medicine. That's a heavy side effect. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:04:30 You could still drive, I mean, you drive heavy machinery? No, it all starts. Every time, it's almost on a bulldozer. Right. So you can operate heavy. machinery on this, so don't worry about it, Bill. Relief Factor. Relieffactor.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Do you have to drive that standing up or? Yes. Special chair I made. It resembles a toilet seat. Oh, we're in trouble on today's program. Relieffactor.com. That's relieffactor.com. Call 800, the number four relief.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Feel the difference. This is going to be a catastrophe. What people you don't understand is Stu never has any idea. We never tell him, oh, I'm coming to you. I hate you. Well, that is very unchristlike of you. Welcome to Monday's podcast. We're glad that you have joined us today.
Starting point is 00:05:48 there's there's a lot to talk about and it's guest free today so your chance to call in we want to hear from you 8 at 877 BECK whatever is on your mind anything that we can do to further enlighten you you know I think that's what we do best here so anyway let's see there's a couple of things NBZ that incredibly right-wing organization of NBC showed some documents that they obtained exclusive coverage on NBC that show Hamas created detailed plans to target elementary schools and a youth center in part of their attack. the in Arabic it shows you know the map and where they need to go and it says kill as many people as
Starting point is 00:06:53 possible they're also labeled top secret now they came off of the body of one of the people Israel sent to Allah this weekend and I feel bad about that well actually I don't but he's with his is it 80 or is it 90 virgins i think it's 80 versions right how many virgins i don't know it's only 70 something what's how many versions we get in these i don't know is there exchange there's a bit inflation i i'm not i would you look it up how many i think it's 80 virgins that you get that's what you used to get in the old days 72 72 versions well uh it's based on the american dollar so it's probably more than that now. It's thousands at this point.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Yeah. So anyway, hey, by the way, just a tip, if Israel is sending you home to your virgins, you've only got 72 of them and all eternity. So, you know, don't get up there and go, well, like, I got 72.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Space them out. Space them out. Anyway, so we've got that news. Meanwhile, people are still saying, I think this is wrong what Israel is doing. Really? You know, the president said yesterday that on 60 minutes, and boy, was he dynamic, what a fireball that guy was. He was asked if Israel should, quote, occupy Gaza.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Here's what he said, cut six. Would you support Israeli occupation of Gaza at this point? I think it would be a big mistake. Look, what happened in Gaza, in my view, is Hamas. Extreme elements of Amas. Right. Don't represent all the Palestinian people. I sound very weak.
Starting point is 00:08:45 And I think that it would be a mistake to, for Israel to occupy, God's and gammon. Okay, stop for a second. I don't think it's a mistake to occupy. Well, I mean, I wouldn't live there. But I think Israel should park their car there. You know what I mean? Park a lot of cars there. It could be, you know, some sort of a parking lot that they make in.
Starting point is 00:09:13 I think you should be done with this experiment. How many times do we have to do this before people get it? Hamas and the Palestinian, the whole thing is a sham. Now, that doesn't mean that there aren't good Palestinians, et cetera, et cetera. But that's not what this movement is about, nor has it ever been about. the Palestinian people have been used over and over again by people who just want to kill Jews. That's it. That's been the thing from the very beginning.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Now, were there people that, you know, would like to share the land? I'm sure. But you, I'm sorry, have got to treat the Palestinians that live. in Gaza and are in the Middle East, you have to treat them the way we treated all Germans. All Germans weren't bad, but those Germans voted Hitler in and fought for Hitler. And they were like, it's, you know, it's pretty great. Well, it wasn't pretty great. And as soon as the German people said, you know what, this isn't pretty great,
Starting point is 00:10:36 I don't want anything to do with this anymore. It was over. And the world could live together. And because of communist Russia, Germany got a two-state solution. And that worked out really well. And obviously you're exaggerating at some level of saying you want to turn it into a parking lot. I mean, a nice one. Yeah, a nice one.
Starting point is 00:11:00 But I would argue why not just a park, right? Like you could have a nice big. And I would use turf because it's really hard to maintain grass in a lot. large swath of land like that, but just we just roll out the turf over that area. And no one lives there. Nobody. Nobody lives there. You know, I have a, I have no problem. You want to make it into farmland because the Palestinian people are going to need food because Israel, I mean, Egypt is not going to feed them. Israel and the United States were the ones sending the food into Gaza. And they're the ones that hate us. But that's fine. Make Gaza into a farmland.
Starting point is 00:11:35 And then Jordan and Egypt, maybe even Iran, could take the Palestinian people and divide up something like Egypt's got a lot of land. A lot of land. A lot of open space there. Yeah. And again, all these people, they're not, they just need, they can't be part of this country anymore. Right? Like there's just no way. It makes absolutely no sense for Israel to have a, uh, uh, I don't know, an oasis for Hamas in the middle of their country.
Starting point is 00:12:09 It makes literally no sense. No sense. You're going to have to find a different place to go because, look, we tried this. And stupidly, by the way, it was a stupid thing for Israel to try to say, hey, well, what if we just let them vote in Hamas and see what happens over the next couple decades? That is the key. It's ridiculous. That is key.
Starting point is 00:12:28 They voted Hamas in. Yeah. And the same thing can be said like for the Germans back in the day. They didn't really have a chance to change their mind if they decided leadership wasn't so great. Like, sure. They did vote them in in a widely approved election. This was not something that like people, you know, watchers from around the world were saying was a fake election or a bad fixed election. They put Hamas in power.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Now, Hamas did not give them a chance to overrule them later and take them out of power. Maybe they've all changed their opinion on Hamas. Opinion polling does not show that. Right. We should note. But maybe now they have. Maybe they were so horrified by these attacks. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:13:08 The last opinion poll I saw, now this is years ago, but the last opinion poll I saw, it was like 97% or 93% of Palestinians agreed with killing the Jews, using terror, cutting people's heads off, killing civilians, kidnapping children. Yes. So it was very, very high. And it was much. higher than it should be. Let's put it that way. So these are also people that were just last week celebrating in the streets.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Okay. I mean, if my government, let's be honest, if you found out today that the United States was over kidnapping Russian children and just going into houses in Russia and just shooting innocent, you know, women and children. Would you be out passing cookies outside? Because I wouldn't be. No. I'd be ashamed. Yeah. And look, this is time for another asterisk here, right? These people have been indoctrinated.
Starting point is 00:14:17 They are very similar to the people who live in North Korea that are told that Kim Jong-un is a god, right? You listen to the children from these regions talking about the Jews. It's horrible. They've been taught this from birth. Correct. And it is very different. And you could say that about the Hitler youth. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:14:38 You could say that about the Hitler Youth. But at some point, the Palestinian people need to stand up and say, we don't think it's right killing Jews anymore. Yeah. Okay. And unfortunately, history has shown us. The only way that happens is to bomb the snod out of people. And I'm sorry, but history has shown when you have attempted. over and over and over again to be able to give people peace.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Here, let's just live in peace. You do this, I'll do that. And just live in peace. Nope, they're not interested. They're not interested. They've been offered a two-state solution. They turn it down. Why?
Starting point is 00:15:26 Because it's about killing all of the Jews. That's all that is. Period. Period. And by the way, if anybody is feeling badly, I understand that. I don't want to kill innocent women and children either. Israel has a right to defend itself. And if that's what you need to do, by the way, they are dropping flyers from the sky, have been all weekend.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Please leave this area. Please evacuate. We're coming in the next 24 hours. Well, we did that too. We did that in Japan. It's my pretty clear understanding that would make us and Israel the only ones that warn people. Please leave. Our war is not against you.
Starting point is 00:16:19 It's against your leadership. And even when we drop these on 80 million of these flyers in Japan before we bombed them. it said our argument is not with you our argument is with your government but you must tell your government to stop well they eventually did unfortunately it took two bombs but eventually they did typical pro-western propaganda here in the glenbeck program as usual this is exactly what i would expect you to say really yeah yeah you know you're done it you don't even care about the innocent victims in gaza you know it's uh it's fascinating to see you at work Really?
Starting point is 00:17:03 Yeah. Yeah. And by the way, you know, considering your evil pro-Western ways, it was nice to see you actually jump into the fray a little bit in Israel. Finally, deciding to get off your horse and get on your horse and pick up a few people over there on some planes that you said. It was good to see you. Yeah. How could I put it? Maybe in, shamed by Ron DeSantis who was already doing it.
Starting point is 00:17:29 You know, maybe you felt. This is where you're going. This is where you're going. you're going. Look, I'm just saying I'm glad you finally got off your butt and decided to actually help some people over there in the Middle East. So, wow, that's refreshing coming from you. People were so turned up. They're like, why were you going after Glenn about his not doing anything after all he's done in Afghanistan and everything else? And it was like, I know he can't say anything about it. The mission's ongoing. So I can say he hasn't done anything this whole time on the air.
Starting point is 00:18:03 over and over again and he can't defend himself because these we wow listen to him so what he's trying to do now is trying to make an excuse for himself he's trying to make an excuse no i was just kidding because glen couldn't defend himself you had no idea that we were sending that's really you had no idea why didn't she say anything what if you were because i was so hurt oh you were what you said oh okay that was Anyway, yeah, we, thanks to Mercury One and our partners, our first plane was supposed to be there yesterday leaving. It has been delayed, and we are trying to get as many planes over there as we can to rescue, or I'm sorry, to bring home as many Americans as we possibly can. and there's more to this story, but I can't speak about it now. But please pray for all those Americans that don't have a way out.
Starting point is 00:19:08 By the way, we're not, you know, I know we have these giant gray planes, you know, the president has access to. And I heard this weekend that they are going to start picking people up, which I applaud. And then they're dumping them in Germany, and then they're charging people. thanks to Mercury 1 and our partners, we are picking people up in Israel and we are bringing them home to the United States. And we're not charging anybody, which is very nice. But that is all thanks to you and Mercury 1 and the Nazarenefund.org. Okay, back in just a second.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Preborn, when you put your hand over your heart and you're still for a moment, what do you feel? Well, you feel your heartbeat. I mean, if I'm going to be literal about it, you feel your heartbeat. It shows that you're alive. Heartbeats show that you are alive. That's the thing when we show a woman an ultrasound who is struggling and thinking about having an abortion. When she sees her baby on an ultrasound and hears the heartbeat, it doubles the chance she picks
Starting point is 00:20:26 life. That's an amazing thing. For $28, you can show this woman her baby and possibly save a baby's life. There's about 200 lives saved every day because of pre-born. $28 is the key. Could you help out? Just dial pound 250, say the keyword baby, and make a donation.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program. Thank you for taking my call. I just wanted to say that you guys, you and Stu, I listen to you daily. I drive truck in Massachusetts right now, and I listen to you open this morning. I never know on Monday mornings what I'm going to hear. And I just got to say,
Starting point is 00:21:32 Hearing the humor, I had my duct tape all wrapped up my head and the blackoutes book tape my own and I had guerrilla tape because of anything else on in the world. But here and that this morning has released some pressure out of my mind. So I don't know how you do it daily, how you digest this every day of your life and still find humor is Adam Roble. Or the sign of insanity, one of the two. Rinse and repeat. And it just, you know, every day is a struggle, right? And we just get up.
Starting point is 00:22:02 We just get up and do the best we can, but it's important to have laughter in our lives. And I just, I really, really truly appreciate you and Stu for what you guys do and able to put that into your program and knowing when to be serious and when, hey,
Starting point is 00:22:14 you know, wow, let's just, you know, it is what it is what is what else you're going to do? But real quick, I just wanted to say, I'm at the point now where I get phone calls for money,
Starting point is 00:22:24 money, money, money, and I'm so irritated by getting asked for money because you just feel like it's just getting flushed down the toilet. it. And, you know, now, you know, always being a Republican, and in the state of Maine, you have to be either or to vote. You can't just be an independent and go either way. So it'd be nice if they just put, you know, America as a party and America first. But I thought I don't know what if someone was that way, where to give the money when someone calls you up and say that's like, you know, they're asking for money for the Republican party. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Do you have any advice on that? Yeah, I don't get, I mean, I can only tell you what I do. I don't give to the Republican Party. I don't give to the Democratic Party. I don't give to any party. If I, if I like a candidate, I'll give it to the candidate, but I'm not writing a check to the party. But thank you so much for your call. God bless you.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I can tell you why Stu's in such a good mood today. You know, Eagles broke another record yesterday and congratulations. What record did they break?
Starting point is 00:25:03 They, well, they didn't exactly break a, they allowed a record to be broken. Oh, really? What was it? That they had never lost to the Jets in their franchise history? Yeah. And then they finally did? Or is it that they have the best record in the NFL? Which one?
Starting point is 00:25:17 The first one. Okay. The first one. So they beat them 12 out of 13 times, but they did lose once in a embarrassing fashion. But still. And it was a great, it was a great record to be broken. Yeah, you know, I mean, look. Fairness for everybody.
Starting point is 00:25:32 You do. You do. And that's what that's must have. I noticed, must have been what they were doing yesterday. I noticed. I notice that you're avoiding the real news today. I am. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:43 What is the real news? Oh, my gosh, you're going to play that. The news from Dr. Housefather. Dr. Housefather. Dr. Housefather. Real name. Dr. Zeke Housefather. Is this the team doctor of the New York Jets?
Starting point is 00:26:01 No. This is, don't play this game with me, Stu. You're starting to piss me off now. Dr. Housefather, as you clearly know, is the climate research lead at the payments company, Stripe. The climate research lead. Yeah, the climate research lead at the payments company, Stripe. Stripe meaning the place that, like, you swipe credit cards and they, yeah, they process that.
Starting point is 00:26:30 They process credit card payments? Yes. They've got the- Why do they have a climate lead? Because when you can get somebody like Dr. Housefather on your. staff. You just, you go. You go. Who's the climate lead of square? The pledge, please don't play that game with me like we don't know. Dr. Housefather, he is also the research scientist at the independent Berkeley Earth. Or Urquely birth. Or Urquely birth. Right. Okay. It's an organization that analyzes environmental data, of course.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Very independent. Right. I'm sure. So, so independent. Here's what Dr. Housefather has said. Okay. Staggering.
Starting point is 00:27:15 I'm quoting. Unnerving. Mind boggling. Absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. I want the T-shirt. I want the T-shirt. Yes, I do. Absolutely gobsmackingly bananas.
Starting point is 00:27:30 I want to say that in my daily life all the time. He has said global temperatures have shattered records and reached dangerous. dangerous new highs over and over in the last few months. Really? Yes. Wow. And he and his fellow climate scientists at Stripe have the place. Like, and just to be clear, this isn't like Visa or MasterCard climate scientists.
Starting point is 00:27:55 These are the ones that process the payments of Visa and MasterCard's. Yeah. Yeah. They're their climate science team. Yes. Okay. Okay. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:28:03 So they said, he said, I've run out of abject to. adjectives to describe what they have seen. That's not true. He had gobsmackingly bananas. Which is fantastic. Which is a great. Now, data from Berkeley Earth released on Wednesday shows that September was an astounding 0.5 degrees Celsius, almost a full degree Fahrenheit, hotter than the prior record.
Starting point is 00:28:30 And July and August were 0.3 degrees Celsius, 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Otter. I mean, can you, yeah. Why even continue civilization with a 0.3 degree temperature rise? I mean, I don't even think. It happened three months in a row. Three months in a row.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Okay. Uh-huh. He says that, now the Stripe people, I shouldn't say that like that. The client, the climate researchers at Stripe said that 23 is almost certain to be the hottest year
Starting point is 00:29:04 since reliable global records began in the, mid-1800s. Wow. So they were very reliable back then. Very reliable in the mid-1800s. If you go back to the mid-1800s, people just nailed science all the time. They never had a problem. Well, he said, you know, 1850s, you know, that's when we started keeping reliable. But he thinks it's the hottest. It's probably been in the last 2,000 years and maybe well before that. That is gobsmackingly bananas. Yeah. Now, some people will say, oh, L.L. Nino.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Yes, that is one thing that I would say. Yes. Well, first of all, you're in America. Speak American now. The baby has nothing to do with it. Okay? Yes, it's playing some role, but the global temperatures that they've experienced this year alone at Stripe, he said, could not have occurred without the approximately 1.3 degrees Celsius. That's two and a half degrees Fahrenheit.
Starting point is 00:30:06 of warning, of warming to date. Now, he says, this is coming from human sources like carbon dioxide and other greenhouse admissions. So in between processing the payment for my burrito at Chipotle, they decided to figure this all out? Because that's impressive. You don't understand. He has also figured out that now there's increasing evidence because of the last
Starting point is 00:30:32 three months that global warming has accelerated over the last 50s. years rather than at a gradual, steady pace. That's fascinating because it's warming at a lower pace than all of their projections going back years and years and years and years. Not true according to Stripe. And according to the payment processing company. Yeah, they says not true. That's, well, it's an interesting thing because you have all the graphs. Back in the day, I don't know if they still do this because this has not worked out well for them.
Starting point is 00:31:02 But they used to make long-term projections based on what they thought was going to happen. Sure. And what we found out is what actually occurred with carbon emissions were higher than their highest estimates. So there was more carbon poured into the atmosphere than their highest estimates. And then the warming was lower than their lowest estimates. So to me, that seems like utter and complete and catastrophic and gobsmackingly bananas failure. He said, but no. There has been an acceleration over the past few decades.
Starting point is 00:31:35 in total heat content of the Earth's oceans, where 90% of the energy is trapped. Trapped. Trapped. Our energy has been trapped. It's like held hostage by the oceans. Did they have a panic room? Did the oceans have panic rooms? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Then he has satellite measurements of Earth's energy imbalance. It needs a chakra balancing. Really. I bring in Al Gore. This is what you bring in Al Gore for the chakra balancing. The difference between energy entering the atmosphere from the sun and the amount of heat leaving shows a strong increase in the amount of heat again trapped over the past two decades. For 20 years, it's been trapped, screaming to get out. If Earth's energy imbalance is increasing over time, it should drive an increase in the world's rate of warming, he says.
Starting point is 00:32:32 There's a number of factors driving the acceleration. of warming. Now, you need to hear this. Okay, I need to hear the factors here. The world has made real progress in slowing down the growth of carbon dioxide. It's according to Stripe and other greenhouse gases. However, however, for decades, the air pollution from sulfur dioxide and other hazardous substance in fossil fuels has had a strong temporary cooling effect on our climate. but as countries around the world Go ahead, please finish As countries around the world
Starting point is 00:33:08 have begun to clean up the air The cooling effect provided by aerosols That's what I thought you were getting to As fallen by around 30% since 2000 So they told us Yes To stop using aerosols
Starting point is 00:33:24 Right because it was good for the environment And now they're saying the problem with the environment Is that we've stopped using aerosos aerosols. Aerosols have fallen. Surprising. Drastically in the past three years because we're phasing all of them out. The reductions in that pollution, on top of the continued increase in the atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations,
Starting point is 00:33:47 mean that we're encountering some of the unvarnished force of climate change for the first time. Unvarnished force of climate. Wow. Because we have now stopped using aerosol, which actually cooled the climate change. earth. Now we're seeing unprecedented growth. Well, you know, I think I think Dr. Headfeather has won me over. Housefather. I'm sorry, house father has won me over. And you know what? I think it's time to make some changes, Glenn. You know, you think about what is really affecting this climate is these carbon emissions. And a lot of that is by fossil fuel. And a big portion of that, probably the
Starting point is 00:34:27 biggest portion of that is this industrial greed where these companies are mining for all sorts of natural resources. They're putting them into products, shipping them all over the world. Finally the truth. And now they're being made so easy to purchase by these processing companies who come out here and they just make it so easy for these evil capitalists to screw up the earth. We should shut down every payment processing company to save the globe. Because how are you possibly helping things if what you're doing is making capitalism easier for people to participate in? Shut, stripe down today. Here's his conclusion.
Starting point is 00:35:11 I don't know where you got that. Oh, that's different? He says it's clear that we can control how warm the planet gets over the coming decades now. Oh, it's clear we can do that. No, he found the thermostat. He found the thermo. Wow, I thought there wasn't one. Climate models have consistently found.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Same ones that said it was going to be warmer than it is now And the same ones that mispredicted how much carbon would go in the atmosphere Constitality consistently found that once we get emissions down to net zero Oh, that should be easy. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Soon as we get emissions down to net zero, the world will largely stop warming. We've got some qualifiers in there.
Starting point is 00:35:54 We do. All we have to do is, is completely wipe out all industry, all industrial movements, get rid of cars, get rid of coal. And I don't mean get rid of cars like you know it. I mean get rid of the electric cars because there's not enough electricity produced to be able to plug in just California's cars. Oh, okay. That's it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:20 So he says, so the world will not cool back down for me. many centuries. Once it's hot, it's hot, even if we're at net zero, unless, unless the world powers join in in major efforts to remove more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than we add. Got it? Right. So we, we not only have to go to net zero, we then have to remove even more carbon dioxide, which I think if America just holds its breath for like 10 years, nobody breathes out. You can breathe in. No breathing out. As long as we don't breathe out for about 10 years, maybe, maybe then America has done enough. You know what? I think you're right. And we should highlight some success stories on this. For example, can I give you one success story? A huge success story.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Just one nation, the nation of China that has been leading the fight against climate change, as Al Gore said in his movie and speeches years ago. Joe Biden says it too, yeah, sure. China today generates enough power from clean sources to power Germany six times over. That's up from only two times a decade ago. In a few years, China's clean power generation will be equal to U.S.'s total electricity consumption. I mean, what a win, right? That's incredible wind. The clean energy.
Starting point is 00:37:55 I didn't realize they were that. Big wind. They're really pumping out the solar panels. Solar generation and wind generation alone is about to hit three times Germany's total electricity consumption next year. Wow. If China's power demand had stayed at the 2009 level, the massive increase in CO2 free power generation would have made the grid 80% clean.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Wow. That's incredible. That's nuts. But wait a minute. It sounds like they might be using a little more energy than they were. Yeah. The problem, of course, was that electricity demand doubled and clean power generation didn't keep up. So the difference was delivered from coal and overall CO2 emissions went up by 90%.
Starting point is 00:38:39 But it's a huge win. A huge win. A huge win. There we go. Dr. Brow. House feather. Our father. Anyway, cybercrime is the gift that just keeps on given. It's a little like CO2.
Starting point is 00:38:53 to in China. It just keeps coming.

Starting point is 00:42:04 storms on the East Coast, same as 2012. So what are you saying there? I mean, you're saying that it's a cycle? Is that what I'm hearing you say? Well, we've been farming since 1952 here, and everything has ran in a cycle, and we keep very good records of the weather. And it's an 11 to 12 year cycle.

Starting point is 00:48:28 today same day shipping prepare with glen dot com okay let me go to maria uh Maria in georgia Hello, Maria. Welcome to the Glenbeck program. Hello, Glenn, and I am so excited that you have started the first 40 days in restoring covenant. I have waited for years for you to actually make that move. And when Gettysburg got canceled due to COVID, I was so disappointed. Yeah, me too. And I want you to know, I don't know if you realize this or not, but you made that announcement on the sixth day of the Feast of Tavit.
Starting point is 00:49:08 This year and if you count forward if you're actually going to hold the ceremony and I know you're going to do that on air if you're actually if you actually count forward from that first day because you said this is the first day and you had a 40 that you got the 40 day walk right then it falls as because I asked my husband to do this because I was so excited I was doing other things and and he came up with November the 13th which it may not mean anything to you, but it would to the Native American Indians who studied the calendar. It falls on a new moon day. So if you're actually holding it on that day, new moon is a renewal period. And that's what I believe you're doing is you're renewing the covenant with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in this nation. So tell me what you...
Starting point is 00:50:04 Remarkable. A lot of... Thank you for that information. We're going to look into it. Tell me your take on what the covenant is. What do you know it to be? Well, the covenant is spelled out in scripture, and it is primarily the book of Deuteronomy.
Starting point is 00:50:25 I mean, Moses took it and simplified it, right? But what happens is we as Christians, we have confused the fact that there are two covenants in scripture. We have mixed the Levittical priesthood law which was a walk of a type of punishment for breaking
Starting point is 00:50:47 the covenant with God. And so therefore he instituted like this punishment or this kindergarten schooling walk with the Levitical priesthood, which was put away when Christ was sacrificed on the cross, right?
Starting point is 00:51:05 But once he was sacrificed in resurrection, then we return to the Melchizedek priesthood, which is the covenant with our God. And it is the covenant of liberty. It is what when Moses said, go now and proclaim liberty, which by the way is why our Liberty Bill Act is because we broke some of the, some of the things that we were supposed to be doing. We did not do it.
Starting point is 00:51:34 So the Liberty Bell is a witness. and it has broken, cracked before us, trying to tell us in symbolism that we have broken covenant with our God, right? Maria, you are spot on. I am so thrilled that you are paying attention to this, and we are going to renew the covenant. We're on, is it week two or week three, I think? And you can find all of the information at glenbeck.com right now. if you'd like to prepare. I'm starting something in addition to that coming on November 1st to get us ready,
Starting point is 00:52:14 which will really take you through. This is an American covenant. And this is something that our pilgrims did than George Washington did at the inauguration. And the last real significant, the last time we really did it was with Abraham Lincoln. And I have, I've gotten the Abraham Lincoln, covenant that was passed in both houses of Congress and then signed by Lincoln. I have tried to get it to Congress several times and there are a couple of people that will take it, but they both have said, no, Glenn, this won't go anywhere, nowhere. There's no way we can even get this taken to the floor
Starting point is 00:52:57 at this point. And it's exactly the wording of Abraham Lincoln's covenant. It's incredible how far we have fallen. But thank you so much. If you'd like more information, go to glenbeck.com and make sure you join us. It'll be the week before Thanksgiving that we'll do it here on the air. Heather, welcome to the glenbeck program. Hi, Glenn. Thanks for taking my call. You bet. I'm a huge fan and I'm so grateful for both you and Sue. And I know that Stu has young kids, and I was hoping you guys could speak a little bit of hope into the young families that listen to you guys. Okay. I have a one-year-old and the world just looks so bleak and I'm so nervous for him and with AI and everything is changing. And so I've just wondering if you could speak some help
Starting point is 00:53:44 into the young families. Well, you know, I heard a very... Called the wrong show, lady. Sorry. No, I heard it's honestly, I heard of a very wise guy say that he was talking to his son and he's like me, a real pessimist. And he said, that his son came up to him and said, you know, dad, I know what I'm going to do in my life. And he said, doesn't matter. Anyway, no, here's the thing. The future is what we make of it.
Starting point is 00:54:26 And I am so disappointed when I hear from people who, in myself, I'm disappointed in me, that maybe I have preached so much doom and gloom that people don't want to have kids and they're worried about having kids. Have kids. Oh, yeah. Have kids.
Starting point is 00:54:44 It is, I wish, and you knew me back when, I didn't want any kids. And then I had two. And then I got married to Tanya, and she was like, let's have kids. And I'm like, no, let's not have kids. I wish I had, and I mean this sincerely, I wish I had at least eight kids. I really do.
Starting point is 00:55:05 Yeah. Because in the end, that's all that matters. And it took me too long to get that. I just, the greatest thing of my life or my children, because they can fetch really high prices and they are working now and they'll be paying for my bills when I'm, you know, old and gray. And it's great. You should have at least eight because it's going to, with inflation, it's going to cost a lot. No, there's just nothing better than that. Now, here's for your, so you have hope, Heather, you're going to see miracles in our day.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Is it a son or daughter? A son. Your son is going to see and probably participate in like Moses-style miracles in your life and in his life, we are entering a new era that is unlike anything we've ever seen. And if man doesn't destroy himself, you're going to see things that nobody's ever seen. And before man destroys himself, God will show up and perform his miracles that only the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob could do. I believe we are all born for a reason. I believe there are many souls still yet to be born that need to be here.
Starting point is 00:56:33 And they'll come in their appointed time, just like you came and your appointed time. Teach your children to be strong. Teach your children to recognize truth. And teach your children that they have been selected for an important work at a very important time. It's going to be exciting. It's just not going to be what we're used to. Does that help? it does yeah thank you okay yeah also add to you know i first of all it's it makes your life so much
Starting point is 00:57:04 better right i mean i you know my son had a little bit of a health scare this weekend and it was kind of scary for a little bit he's he's okay um but you realize in those moments like how important this stuff is to you like it's all i thought about all weekend and um long term too especially if you're a person of faith like you know how this comes out at the end right like you have to You might not see the path to a wonderful future, but at the end, if you believe in these things and these eternal concepts that are the real basis as to why you're here,
Starting point is 00:57:40 less about, you know, screaming at the TV screen as the Eagles blow a game to the jets and more about the eternal concepts, you kind of get to a point where you're going to understand that you're part of a larger process, and, you know, the end of that process is really positive. There's tough times built in. They don't understand how you're going to.
Starting point is 00:58:01 AI is a great one. We don't know how that's going to turn out. I have friends who are super optimistic about how that's going to be. I have stupid friends too. But you're right. And what I don't always seems it's absolutely true. And I feel bad when I hear it. And I'm like, oh, geez, what you just said in this is not necessarily what you mean.
Starting point is 00:58:25 You know, I know how it works out. Yeah, I know how the book ends, but I don't want to, I mean, really, the process is a meat grinder. But I would say, yes, that's true. If that's what's coming, if that's what's coming, if Jesus is coming, great, great, come, please, faster. Can we cut that seven year thing down a bit? Come, come. It would be great. However, people have thought that forever. I happen to believe that he is coming in our lifetime. But, you know, everybody has thought that. Even the apostles have thought that and they were wrong. However, think about it in your own life. Think about all of the times in your own life where it looked like this is over. I mean, I am not going to be able to make it. This is my wife and I aren't going to make it or, you know, my business isn't going to make it or I don't know how I go on. One of my kids said the other day, I don't think I can make it, dad.
Starting point is 00:59:28 I just don't think I can make it. How do I go on? I just don't know how to make it. And because after having two wives and three daughters, I've learned, shut up and just listen. So I didn't say anything. But what I wanted to say was, and I didn't. did eventually. You don't, you don't, you don't, you don't, you're looking too, too close at it.
Starting point is 00:59:59 You got to back up. You got to back up. You're going to make it. And you're going to look back at this time as one of the greatest times in your life. Because you were pushed and you had to grow. And when we're growing, it's, it's always look back. You, it, you, when you're in it, it sucks. It sucks.
Starting point is 01:00:22 But at the end, and not the end of your life, not the end when Jesus comes, but when you pass this phase, you realize, I won't ever want to do that again, but I did learn a lot. And it was kind of nice to look back at it now and go, I can't believe we made it through that. And that's just, that's all we're doing.
Starting point is 01:00:49 It's just another one of those life cycles. It just happens to be the life cycle of, countries and and civilizations, but we make it. We make it through. And if we have each other, we're going to be great. We're going to be great. All right, back in just a second. If you've ever notice that when you're in pain, it's awfully hard to concentrate on doing just about anything. It's practically impossible to enjoy whatever you're doing. Pain is a monster that constantly eats at you, eats after you. I know this, because I've had that monster in my life. life. I used to have that monster in my life. I got my life back with relief factor. I would
Starting point is 01:01:31 recommend that you just try this. I didn't think it would work for me because it works on inflammation. And I always thought ibuprofen was a scam because it never worked for me. However, this reduces inflammation, but it attacks it unlike ibuprofen. It attacks it from four different ways. So ibuprofen uses one path. If it doesn't work for you, it's not going to work like me. This one attacks it from four different directions.

Starting point is 01:02:29 Glenn, good morning. Thank you for taking my call. Thank you. I'm calling because I want to thank you and begrudgingly stew also. Thank you for that. It's for the incredible education that you have provided to me and to your audience over the years. And I'm going to just explain what I mean by that. I had an amazing weekend. A customer of mine invited me to a Catholic Women in Action Conference down in
Starting point is 01:03:02 Alexandria of Virginia. Are you identifying as a woman? Just want to check. Just want to check. Go ahead. No. But I went. I attended the conference, met many people of very strong space, and it was very
Starting point is 01:03:22 motivating to me, very moving. Good for you. Afterwards, I had the honor of having dinner with my customer, her husband, her brother, and sister-in-law. And to set this up, these are two government regulator attorneys, a successful businessman, and his wife. And we sat down at the dinner table, and the subject of Israel and the turmoil in the Middle East came up in Ukraine. and I mentioned the name Alexander Dugin. And they all looked at me.
Starting point is 01:04:03 None of them have heard of Alexander Dugin. Sure. And so I explained who he was, the significance of his book, and the uncanny and impossible coincidences from it, which are events that are occurring in the world right now. Wow. From there, the conversation, Yvart. They were stunned.
Starting point is 01:04:28 And when I told them that, in fact, I am not, I'm not a person that reads a lot. I just don't have time. I'm a small business owner. I know. I have to say that most of my education comes from you and listening to your program, Glenn. And you've done an incredible job of keeping me and your audience up to date with so many critical issues that are happening in the world. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:04:54 please check the homework because I'm a small business man myself and we work really hard and we do everything we can to get it right but I don't ever want you just to blindly trust me please do your own homework on that. Mark I'm thrilled thank you and thank you so much for listening.
Starting point is 01:05:15 What was the what's the takeaway from your friends with the Dugan information? Well they all looked up who he was and his book on their iPhones before they left the table. You know, and we mentioned many other subjects during our conversation and our meal, including the World Economic Forum.
Starting point is 01:05:36 Wow. You know, these were issues that they had never heard of. And I guess my takeaway from this is this was a group of people with very strong faith in God, in Jesus. and they were highly motivated to spend their time, to take the time to show their faith in God and our Lord. It's fantastic. On the other hand, on the other hand, they have not taken the same time to invest in keeping themselves up to date or to find out what's really going on in the world. I will tell you, Mark, the thing we have to do. pay attention to our first citizenship.
Starting point is 01:06:24 And then when we have that, pay attention to our second citizenship. Because we are in the place where we may lose our first to save our second if we're not careful.

And I don't mean just the garbage of drinking or smoking or whatever. I mean getting rid of the things that were pushing you in that direction.
Starting point is 01:10:22 Face them head on. It was, it's scary, I know. but you're going to discover some great things about you. You're so right, and it's literally transpired into my life to where trash is actually piling up in, you know, basic chores and just functioning as a productive member of society has just, I don't know, it's become like I've been mentally disabled and, you know, just trying to get on track before it's too late, you know,
Starting point is 01:10:53 because I don't want to lose everything that I have. I've worked hard. I've worked hard for what I have. Good for you, Cody. And I'm thankful for everything. And thank you. You bet. Make sure you reach out.
Starting point is 01:11:04 I want to hear from you a year from now. I want to hear how your life is going. Yes, sir. I will. Thank you. God bless. I have to tell you, that is, you know, what's really scary is most people, because I was this way, you hang on to the things that you think you are.
Starting point is 01:11:22 You hang on to your struggles. and your problems and the blame that you have given yourself or others have given you or you've put on somebody else because it is a it's a defense mechanism that happens and when you start to really you know recover and you have to take that inventory of yourself and deal with all the things and then hopefully that leads to dealing with all the things you think you know you thought you knew was true and it's scary when you take all of that stuff out because you feel like at least i did i felt like maybe there's not anybody in there maybe this is as good as it gets i don't i mean i'm a i've been hiding all of this because i don't think there's anything good in me and that is a frightening
Starting point is 01:12:18 terrifying feeling and i will tell you i felt that way for a long time and it's a It stopped me from really going because you'd hang on to things. You'd be like, no, I want to hang on to this one because it gave you an excuse. But when you get rid of all of that stuff, you begin to discover things about yourself that you didn't know that are really, really good, really good. Let me go to Matt in South Carolina. Hi, Matt. Yeah, hey, Glenn.
Starting point is 01:12:52 I got a serious question for you, but I also have a conversation. kind of a funny statement. My last name is Franzeze. And when you had Michael Franziz on, you're pronouncing his last name wrong. And I don't know if you realize that, but it's kind of funny. I always do. I always do.
Starting point is 01:13:10 It was funny. We're not related. My family's not related, but it's a mob guy and you're saying his name wrong. Well, thank you for that. That would be terrifying. If the mob existed, which it doesn't. It does. It does not exist.
Starting point is 01:13:25 I'd be a big fan too. Oh, yeah, absolutely. A big fan of the mod if it existed, but it doesn't exist. We know that. Go ahead. So anyway, I got my brother listed in upstate New York, too. He's up in Corning. But my serious question is, I live in South Carolina.
Starting point is 01:13:41 We've seen all these things, my friends, and hearing all this stuff on the Internet and things about these southern border and these middle-aged men or military-aged men coming across. And I'm hearing and seeing stories and things about, you know, I'm being put up in cities around America at the Roosevelt Hotel. A lot of them have these UN cards that have money on them. It's just, I just want to see what your take is on that and see what, is there anybody looking into local police forces, hopefully, in these cities?
Starting point is 01:14:12 You know, like, are they, anyone paying attention to these, I mean, they're just gathering in America. Yeah. Are there people paying attention to that? Yeah. People like you. people like me, people who are paying attention and are concerned. Are there police that are looking into it?
Starting point is 01:14:31 I don't know if they're looking into it, but I'm sure they're aware of it in the cities where they're allowed to be aware of things like that. And every American, every city should be concerned. We've talked about it for a long time, that the UN is helping on the other side of the border, process people, getting them ready so they can come in and just have easy access to America. You have NGOs, some of them funded by people like Soros, that are doing the same thing, helping, moving people, you know, doing caravans, all of these things. And their goal is not a stronger America.
Starting point is 01:15:12 There was a, let me see here, where is it? Here's a, listen to this one, here's a Biden spokesperson John Kirby just this weekend. cut 10. Let me ask you about the southern border because obviously the chaos there, the openness, you can argue about that, but I mean record numbers of people showing up there, record numbers of people who are either on a terror list or associated with somebody who is a family member and associate, we're at record numbers for those. How worried are you as somebody who is your job is national security that we have an issue there with somebody who would be a actor, a copycat, or a terrorist cell? We're concerned about the potential spillover from the war against Hamas.
Starting point is 01:15:55 in terms of domestic security. That's why days ago, I mean, within a day or two of the attacks, the president ordered the team, the national security team and the Department of Homeland Security to work with state and local authorities to make sure that we have the intel picture in place to be able to identify and potentially disrupt any domestic terror threat as a result of what's going on against Hamas. And I will tell you that even as we're speaking here this morning, we simply don't have any specific credible threat to speak to. But that doesn't mean we're not looking very, very hard. Stop it. Really, sincerely, stop it.
Starting point is 01:16:29 So even just a few days ago, we reached out to local authorities. Make sure you have information on all those people that are coming in. You just, you make sure you, really? You mean, what is it now? How many millions have come across the border? How many millions have we just lost? You know, there was a report out this week. I'll find it during the break.
Starting point is 01:16:54 there was a report out this last weekend about the number of people that came in from Iran that we caught just this week. Iran coming across the border. That's a long walk from Iran, a really long walk. Why were they coming over? Because I'll bet you if you're a persecuted person in Iran and you get out, you could show up at our embassy someplace and I'll bet you could be fast-tracked. Why are they coming across the border?
Starting point is 01:17:26 And this has been happening now for two and a half years. So I appreciate what you've done, John, in the last couple of days after the attack. But I think Americans would like to know, you know, who's here. And maybe you should solve that by first closing and securing the border. Are you with me on this, Glenn, over the past weaker to John Kirby's starting to rise to the level of a annoyance of like a KJP for me. Like he's starting to get to that like upper echelon Hall of Fame level of just I can't stand hearing a word out of his mouth because he's so annoying about everything.
Starting point is 01:18:08 He's at he's rising to that level for me. He's to me. He is becoming Baghdad Bob. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? If you're old enough to remember who Baghdad Bob was. Was that the first war or the second war?
Starting point is 01:18:22 That was the 2003. Okay. 2003 and he was a guy who's like, look, there's caves, terror, what? No, Saddam Hussein, he's a great guy. Rape, his two sons, what? Oh, but it was also like the tanks are, we have video video footage of tanks 10 miles outside of Baghdad.
Starting point is 01:18:45 And he's like, they're not even in the country. We've already defeated them. Like it was that type of denial. So bad. Which is hilarious. And also very reminiscent of what we're hearing now from people in the Middle East basically claiming none of these atrocities occurred. Right. And hearing in other areas here in the United States from our own people. What? The border's secure. What? There's nobody coming.
Starting point is 01:19:07 What? That's crazy talk. That's a conspiracy there. Yes, what? It's Baghdad Bob. We are, we are at the point where I never thought America would be. And the one responsible for that is the one that is currently killing themselves. And that is the main. stream media. You own guns for several reasons. I mean, it might be for hunting or, you know, fishing. Sure. Sure.
Starting point is 01:19:33 Target shooting for fun. Yes. I mean, yes, I fish with guns. And that's why I've lost all of my guns in that horrible boating accident. But anyway, you keep yourself safe, keep your family safe. And that's not going to happen unless you're actually skilled and comfortable with a gun in your hand and you're a proficient shot. Right now, ammunition is a fortune.
Starting point is 01:19:57 There is a high-tech, easy-to-use system that is used wildly and widely by the military. Started with the Marines. Now it's all across the military. And it is like having your drill sergeant, your shooting instructor standing right next to you the whole time, and actually seeing and being able to show you what you're doing wrong. You connect it through Bluetooth. You put it on the barrel of your gun, whether you're dry firing or active at a range. it will show you how you're aiming, how you're drifting, if you're pulling the gun down or to the left or whatever.
Starting point is 01:20:31 And it shows you how to correct it in real time. So start improving today. Get yours now at mantisX.com. MantisX.com Glenn Beck. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Monday. We're taking your phone calls today.
Starting point is 01:21:05 I have an update on what the house is doing as well. James, Pennsylvania. Welcome. Yes, hello. Hi, Glenn. I was just calling to thank you for the Mercury One event this weekend. It was truly amazing. Thank you to you and your team, JP, Suzanne Tripp and everyone else that works there. It was a truly inspiring event. And, you know, there's millions of us out here who are behind you, praying for you, lifting you up. You're doing the heavy lifting, but we're right behind you. Thank you. Thank you for that, James. I'm glad you came. We did have the Mercury One. gala where we raise funds and we do it every every fall. So that way I can say 100% of the proceeds go to, you know, down range, wherever it is, whether it's Hawaii or Florida or a disaster in Turkey or now the planes that we are sending
Starting point is 01:22:00 over to help Americans return home. You know, we're flying people from Israel, in case you haven't heard, we announced it Friday afternoon. But we're doing this for the second time now. I can't believe we have to do this, but we're doing it for the second time, getting Americans out. And luckily, the president is figured out a way to
Starting point is 01:22:26 commodeer a cruise ship, I guess. So Americans are getting onto cruise ships, thanks to the U.S. government. Maybe that's the fastest way they can give them COVID, I guess, maybe. but you know ronda santis in florida is also doing it and so the the load is not going to you know bear down on the shoulders of our audience but thank you for the ability to be able to do these things thank you for that if you would like to be involved in any of our projects you can go to mercury one dot org and find out what we're doing for Israel and everything else and join us mercury one.org.
Starting point is 01:23:08 So Jim Jordan is now politicking, trying to make sure that people vote for them tomorrow in the house. I don't, I'm not sure of the names that that claim to be Republicans that apparently, you know, want the Democrats to, you know, share the gavel or whatever they're thinking. but Jim Jordan would be your smart move here, gang, over a sharing the power with the Democrats. I think that would be, you know, a real bad death knell for your candidacy and you're returning to Congress.
Starting point is 01:23:49 You think there's any chance he wins? Jim? Yeah, I do. I hope. Give me your percentage. You got a percentage on that? Okay. I'm an optimistic catastrophist.
Starting point is 01:24:03 So I say the Republicans are going to get it. They're going to know this is your last shot. What are you doing? He's a good guy. He's solid. This would be not only good, but an improvement. It would be an improvement. It would be really, really good.
Starting point is 01:24:17 Things would continue. And so I say that, you know, there's a 75% chance that he gets it. Now, because I'm also a catastrophist, I realize we're talking about the stupid Republican Party. so I think there's about a 2% chance of it happening. Ah, okay, so you're in between 2 and 75%? Wow. Yeah. I'm closer to the two. I'm closer. I like Jim Jordan. I think it would be a big improvement. He'd be unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:24:45 I don't see how there's any way they get him through that conference. I mean, they had a guy who announced he was good. They had a guy who announced he was going to be in the race for speaker who announced like 10 minutes before the actual vote and told everyone he didn't actually want to be speaker and he still had 60. votes? Like, there's just people who don't like Jordan. And the problem is, there's nobody in this conference that is going to get them over this line that I can think of of 2017. How about it how King Jeffries?
Starting point is 01:25:14 Yeah, that, believe me, that gets closer and closer to reality every day. It is coming. There are Republicans actually talking about it. Look, Air Canada, does a sold world. Super, an offer for the assort. Station Thermal, Vulcan. Parlant of Volcan. You've seen the price for the Japan?
Starting point is 01:25:33 Hmm. And Orgne and sushi. Oh, it's all the sold are good for Mayork also. Wow, it's a long march on the beach. This sold is dinsury-limited. Reserved to air-canada.com or to your agent of voyage. The conditions apply.
Starting point is 01:25:53 The condition is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glennback program. Hello, America. Welcome to Monday. Well, we have Hakeem Jeffries coming out. He is, of course, the leader of the House Democrats. He has said, Jim Jordan, if the Republicans pick him, it's a triple down on extremism.
Starting point is 01:27:30 Really? Hakeem, is that what that is? You need to call your House member today because there are stories out now that the Republicans are actually talking about brokering a deal with the Democrats to find maybe a very conservative Democrat or a very liberal Republican that the Democrats can vote for. Are you kidding me? Really? I mean, if this happens, I mean, how could you possibly ever vote for a Republican again?
Starting point is 01:28:07 Honestly, the Freedom Caucus and everybody else should just leave the rotting. carcass behind. Well, we'll find out what happens. Call your congressman today. They're in caucus today. The vote is tomorrow. Jim Jordan. I don't know. He's pretty darn extreme. He wants to hold people accountable and not spend so much. I know. I know. That's crazy, isn't it? More in just a second. First, we Americans are hardworking people. We're also money spending people. Fortunately, now is a time when spending a lot of money maybe isn't the best choice. Bills have to be paid. And if you've got something like credit card debt, it's bleeding you dry, pretty fast, most likely at 25% interest rates.
Starting point is 01:28:58 The government is not on your side. The banking industry is out of control. Here's what you need to do. If you have a mortgage and your back is up against the wall, I want you to consider going and calling. the people at American financing, the people they're helping get that huge credit card debt off of their books, pay for it at 7%, not 25%, and if you roll it into your mortgage, it's all tax deductible. That stretches your savings, and they're already saving people about $700 every
Starting point is 01:29:35 single month. Talk with one of their salary-based mortgage consultants now, American financing 800-906 2440. They're waiting for your call. all now 800-906 2440 or check them out online at Americanfinancing.net. American financing NMLS-182334. www. www. nmls.comer access. Well, hello, Stu. Hi, Glenn.
Starting point is 01:30:03 Welcome. Thank you. Thank you for welcoming me an hour three of the program. You're welcome. I didn't really want to talk to you, talk to you or even look at you for the first two hours. Okay. But, you know, better reaction than I get for most people. Yeah, kind of went numb inside.
Starting point is 01:30:16 Let me go to Jason. Hello, Jason. You're on the Glenn Beck program. Hello, Mr. Beck. I'm a lifetime listener. Don't have a chance to call in very often, but I am going to be coming to your event, keeping the governments here in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Starting point is 01:30:32 And I happen to have some extra tickets that I got for the purpose of hoping to get one of your radio listeners that is from the state of Utah that would like to come and see the event. I'd like to give away. I tell you why, wait, wait, wait, way, because we can't do that. But put them on hold. Tell them to get in touch with Rod our cat at KNRS, and maybe Rod can give them away. I'm there on Thursday, I think, and you can go to, I don't know, what is that event thing?
Starting point is 01:31:01 Yeah, Event Bright, and just search for Glenn back and get your tickets. All right, let me go to Josh. Hello, Josh. Welcome. Hi, Glenn. Hi. for taking my call. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:31:14 I've been listening to you for about 22 years since the day I got clean and sober. Wow. I traveled on the road to, I live in Northern Maine. I traveled daily to the methadone clinic for quite a few years and found you on the radio, and you've been quite an inspiration. Wow. And you were listening to the, and you didn't need methadone eventually, even though you listened to this program.
Starting point is 01:31:42 That's right. Wow. Wow. That must have been a hard journey. It was. It was. And it's, you know, there's been good and bad, just like everyone, I guess. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:56 I wanted to, the reason I've been trying to speak with you for the past couple years is in December of 2022, I lost my best friend and business partner to suicide. six months later we lost my 18 year old nephew to suicide excuse me through all of this we've started a a group called Stay for Life we're trying to raise awareness for men's mental health and suicide prevention
Starting point is 01:32:31 it's just become a crisis in our country right now there's so little hope for people what is your what is your organization's name for life F-O-R or the number F-O-R okay and is it dot org dot org yes okay I'm gonna look into it I tell you there is I mean you want to talk about nobody paying attention to suicide men suicide I mean that's like saying white men suicide let's care about it Nobody didn't care about that.
Starting point is 01:33:15 But I'll tell you, you know, our suicide rate in this country has gone up 25% in the last 10 or 12 years, 25%. In anything else, if we had heart disease go up by 25%, we had, you know, blindness, cancer, anything going up by 25%. Everyone would be saying it's an epidemic. and what's crazy is no one's saying it's an epidemic, except for those who are experiencing it, except for citizens. Do you see the American Medical Association? They'll come out all the time and tell us, you know,
Starting point is 01:33:57 hey, you know what, this gender affirming stuff, it's great. They're coming out with all kinds of stuff. But I don't hear them coming out on and saying this is an epidemic. It is an epidemic. and Josh, I wish you all the the luck in the world. What is your organization do?
Starting point is 01:34:22 Well, we're in my wife, my sister, her husband, and myself, our biggest program right now that we're trying to get off the ground is a men's peer support group. Just a place where guys
Starting point is 01:34:44 can get together and talk about what's going on. I mean, it's, it's, it's, they can't, people can't even get into counseling. It's, it's 19 months sometimes to get into a counselor. That's crazy. Even when people do want to talk and try to get better. Josh, keep following your heart and your spirit on this and, and, um, don't give up. Don't give up. There's so many good things that are worth living for.
Starting point is 01:35:13 and even the hard things, if we will look at these times as we will see in our day, we will watch, and maybe it's you, maybe it's somebody else, we will watch the icons of tomorrow emerge because they only really emerge in strife, you know, otherwise we're all eating donuts. And, well, okay, I'm eating donuts. but when there's real strife, that's when heroes appear. And they're not heroes, you know, they're probably people just like you who don't want to do the things they do. They just reach a limit.
Starting point is 01:35:59 They're like, okay, I can't do that anymore. I can't do, I can't, whatever it is in life. And Josh, possibly that is, is you, an icon of the future. If you are struggling with something, especially suicide, I know I've been there. I've had multiple family members struggle and some of them fail in their struggle. So I know exactly what it is, but I'm telling you right now, life is worth it. It really is. And as somebody who has been there, I had a bridge abutment with my name on it.
Starting point is 01:36:41 I lived in Louisville, Kentucky, and there was an overpass. I mean, I can see it. And every day I drove by that to and from work. And I actually, in a sick sort of way, prayed that I would have the strength to drive into that bridge abutment. Thank God I didn't. Thank God I didn't. Life's worth it.
Starting point is 01:37:13 Go ahead, Steve. I know. The amount of restraint I am having is most. moment is incredible. Like, I should be given an award for what just happened. I did. I want, I want a festival set up in my honor right now. See, I say, icons appear.
Starting point is 01:37:33 That was a really tough moment for him not to make a comment about, can we get that bridge abutment on the phone? How can I introduce you to that? Yeah, I know. I know. I don't want to put up a plaque to the thing. But I'm not. I'm not going to.
Starting point is 01:37:50 That's not, was not the spirit of the moment. It wasn't. So I held back and I deserve a medal. Right. Okay. Boy, we'll give them out for anything now, won't we? If you're,
Starting point is 01:38:02 if you care about your dog, and I know you do, you want the best for your, your animal. You want the best for your dog or, you know, male, female, it doesn't matter. Even those transgender dogs that are like, uh,
Starting point is 01:38:16 Don't call me, uh, him anymore. Okay. I'm a they. Yeah, they got to eat too. They got to eat. Kibble food is not cutting it. It is meant to last on the store shelves for like two years. And so they, they cook it and they cook everything out of it.
Starting point is 01:38:36 Imagine if you were living on stuff that could be on the shelf for two years. Okay. Not, not, not good. You'd be eating McDonald's and Twinkies and things like. that that's really not healthy and it's not healthy for your dog that's why you have to put the vitamins and the minerals and the probiotics all the things that are so good for your dog back into those kibble food meals rough greens can help you do that and your dog's going to love it in fact they want to send you the first trial bag for free just to make sure your dog loves it get that first
Starting point is 01:39:08 trial bag for free you just pay for shipping at rough greens are you ffgreens dot com slash back that's rough or you can call them at 833 Glenn 33. That's 833, G-L-E-N-N-33. Roughgreens.com slash back. 10 seconds, station ID. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Tony in Florida. Hello, Tony.
Starting point is 01:39:42 Hi, Glenn. Hi, I, too. Thanks for having me this morning. Sure. I'm happy to see you. I'm happy to see you both carrying the torch and keep forging the paths for all of us. I wanted to call this morning about what I call the Abortion Accountability Act.
Starting point is 01:39:56 It ties into the plan that you have that would counsel mothers, show them the sonogram, try to do parental counseling, all for adoption. And if the woman would still choose to have an abortion after all of that, I think that they should also be held accountable. So I'm proposing that we get a bill going that after the first abortion, there would be a five-year mandatory birth control that would give the woman time for her life to maybe go into a different direction. It will give her a little bit of time to be ready to,
Starting point is 01:40:26 be pregnant again. And then after the five years, when the birth control comes out, if they come back again for a second abortion, after the counseling, after the sonogram, after the adoption, you know, after all of the measures have been taken to try to help them birth the baby, if they choose to do the abortion the second time, I'm proposing that we give them a tubal ligatomy and that they would lose their ability to have babies. There we have young women that are filming themselves in abortion clinics, glorifying abortion, talking about this is my 12th abortion, and as soon as I get out of here, I'm going to have another one. And we really have to trim these numbers of murder down while we're talking about murdering people, people dying across the country, people dying from suicide. I just want us to keep focus on these babies, and I think that this, and I'm not talking about the, what,
Starting point is 01:41:16 two to three percent of people who have been raped or people who have incestors, there are these, these minor factors that can come into play that we would have to take an accountability for as well. You're talking about the serial killing of children. Yes. Yeah. Yes. I think that we, you know what, you can't go to a grocery store and take a piece of gun without taking accountability for it.
Starting point is 01:41:42 You can't jaywalk without having accountability for it. But yet we let senseless murders of our babies go on and on and on without any accountability whatsoever. So I feel like that we need to put some kind of strict measures in place that would curb the number of abortions. I'm thinking by the tens of thousands per year in our country. And maybe we can whittle this problem down to being non-existent. So that's my idea, Glenn. I'm curious to know what you have to say.
Starting point is 01:42:11 Gosh, Tony, it's Monday morning. And I'm not prepared for that. Look, here's what I think. initially extraordinarily adverse to tying tubes and things like that because certainly the government
Starting point is 01:42:29 the government ordering it's really a bad really a bad thing however I do appreciate the ideas that you have on trying to find a way to stop the serial abortionists because they do exist
Starting point is 01:42:46 however in small numbers Yes. Even the people who really heart abortion don't exactly look at it as a pleasurable process. It's not a fun thing to do. Right. We looked this up at one point and there's no verification of this, but the person who claims to hold the abortion record is like at 12 or 8. Remember that? And it was, you know.
Starting point is 01:43:09 Record holder. Yeah. So it's, it is unusual, but I do understand the concept of that. that. And we just, there has to be a way to change people's minds. And then once minds and hearts are changed on this, then you can look at the outliers. But we have a lot of people before those outliers that we need to try to save. Yeah. And I mean, look, there is actually a bill called, I think it's the abortion accountability actor, pro-birth, Accountability Act or something in Georgia, which is basically their name for a six-week ban.
Starting point is 01:43:55 Right. And we know that that policy, because it's in place in several states, is already cutting the abortions by tens of thousands. Now, look, I want it to be zero. I want that number to be zero. Right. I am not, no real bending on the killing of children, frankly. But, you know, unfortunately, we don't have that magic wand.
Starting point is 01:44:13 We don't have that magic wand, and we don't have that consensus yet. Short term, you take every gain that you can get, like what tax. has done, like what Florida has done, like what Georgia has done, and minimize the amount of abortions in your states. And then long term, the only way to win this is to, as you point out, Glenn, win the hearts and minds of people. I mean, that sounds like so like, I don't know, ethereal. But in reality, like, if a state reinstituted slavery right now, there would not be a big slavery business because people have turned completely on slavery. No one wants. Not everybody. Almost.
Starting point is 01:44:48 That would be like what we're talking about here on those who are the serial killers. Yes. You know what I mean? There are some. There are some. And you'd have to punish those. And you'd have to punish them. That's why you don't make it legal, right?
Starting point is 01:44:58 Correct. But generally speaking, there's no popular movement to have slavery return. It's a really bad idea that everyone despises, rightly so. Except for the World Economic Forum. You keep going. Yes, I know. I mean, I'm coming up with more and more exceptions. I'm making generalized.
Starting point is 01:45:14 The IRS is probably Treasury Department. Department. Eventually, the long-term win is here for people to despise abortion and see it as we see it. And when they do, and that will happen, I think, someday. It will be viewed like slavery is today. When that does happen, you know, you'll still have the laws in place. You don't get rid of them. But there won't be a desire for people to do the activity because everyone finds it as abhorrent as it is. That's how you win longer. And yet, you will still be left. Like, for instance, we've been talking about this a lot today with Hamas. You know, we didn't go in and kill all. of the Germans. We killed the Nazis. And with Hamas, you know, we don't, we don't have a vendetta to go kill all of the Palestinians, you know, because you just don't do that. You kill those who are for killing others innocently. And some innocents are going to be lost along the way. That's war. When the reason why we, um, we didn't put slavery. in the Declaration of Independence because it is in the first draft in Jefferson's own handwriting is because two states disagreed and it was South Carolina and Georgia and they disagreed with it and our founders thought it's not worth fighting a second revolution for we will just slowly phase this out now and they started doing that pretty quickly quickly immediately and they started of fading it out, but when they died, that spirit just kind of went away.
Starting point is 01:46:53 We have to look at what is the alternative, and the alternative is to go to war or to become dictators, and we don't want to do either one of those. So we work extra hard on the heart, because we are making progress. We are making progress, big progress. The Glenn Beck Program. I want to tell you about. about a person named Christy in a world that often focuses on individual success and personal achievements. She's focused on making a difference in her personal life. She's volunteered at nursing
Starting point is 01:47:40 homes. She serves food and clothing to homeless people with St. Vincent Paul organization, volunteers with a local Christian school for the Christmas Eve giving celebration. She just won the Humanitarian of the Year Award through the Greater Baton Rouge Association of Realtors. The reason why I bring her up is she's a great person. And this is the kind of person that we look for. First, we look for somebody who really has the spirit of kind of you and me, what we like, the people we like to hang out with. Then we make sure that somebody like Christy has the right experience
Starting point is 01:48:17 and the right business practices to make sure that she's also a great business person with real estate that can actually get your home sold for the right amount of money and get you into the next home for the right amount of money.

Starting point is 01:49:03 This is the Glenn Beck program. We have Jeff in Arizona. Hello, Jeff. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Hey, Glenn. Thanks for taking my call. I want to warn you. You thought Tony had a big question for you. I got a big one. Oh, my head. They're going to have to fire up those brain cells here on Monday morning. All right.
Starting point is 01:49:17 So this addresses, this addresses even the issue you were discussing earlier about the U.S. bonds and the interest on the U.S. bonds. And this is a suggestion that would help save the U.S. dollar from complete collapse and deal with our debt. And that suggestion is this. We simply stop paying the interest on that portion, a portion of the U.S. debt. and that portion is the portion that's held by China. Now, of course, that is the dropping of a nuclear bomb in a financial kind of war. And there's a lot of discussion about financial war. And also people might say, well, my gosh, you're going to destroy the U.S. treasury bonds and so on.
Starting point is 01:49:57 No, you give assurances to the rest of the world that we are going to pay the interest on all of their debt held by all their sovereign nations. And why do you do this? and what's the justification? We all remember in the late 80s and the late 1990s, financial war was waged against South Africa because of their apartheid regime. We simply declare China a pariah state. They are simply using slavery.
Starting point is 01:50:24 They have active slavery. They use slavery in their economy. They're an aggressive colonizer through force. We've had hippies complaining for decades about what happened in Tibet. They're doing that in Nepal. They're trying to do it. Nepal exactly what Russia is doing in Ukraine to simply trying to take their line, claiming,
Starting point is 01:50:43 oh, a bunch of these people are ethnic Chinese. So, and one last thing to give you while you're preparing a response to that idea. I've reviewed this idea with significant conservative economists, including Catherine Austin Fitz, and Catherine Austin Fitz actually agrees. So even if you think that's a great idea, I think you should discuss it with Carol at some point, but it is a significant idea and just stop paying interest to China. Okay. Let me start here. Again, cold start on this. You said what they're doing in Nepal, just taking land. Russia's doing that, right? You said. So they're doing the same thing as Russia? Yeah, it's like an aggressive colonization where they just simply claim that they're not taking the land yet, but they're simply trying to claim that, oh, we got a bunch of ethnic Chinese here. We have a right to control your country.
Starting point is 01:51:36 which Russia is trying to do. I'm just trying to find the boundary here because this is what we did with Swift and that is giving us a BRICS organization that is going to challenge the dollar soon and they're replacing the SWIFT something that America thought could never be done, the SWIFT payment system, which, you know, it does almost all the payments internationally globally all over the world. At least it did. Now it's now, you know, now it's going to be replaced in some nations because we took that
Starting point is 01:52:14 away from Russia and others immediately said, well, if they can do that there, what happens if they get up on the wrong side of the bed and they think that, you know, they can do it to us as well? And they were all, many of them, not all of them, many of them were nations that, you know, we're not real positive about. but if you say you're not going to pay the interest, a couple of things happen. You've broken a contract. When we got into, what new information do we have about China?
Starting point is 01:52:45 Slaves? We knew that going in. That to me, if I were somebody going to a bank and I said, you know what? I just found out that you were, you know, holding the money. and maybe involved with the Jeffrey Epstein thing, so I'm not paying my interest to you. You know where I'd be homeless. That's where I would be.
Starting point is 01:53:12 And you can't just break these contracts. You just cannot break a contract like that. Now, if we're at war, then maybe we do that. But this would be an act of war. What you're sort of making my argument for me, Glenn, because the truth of the matter is, is fine that's what those shots across the bow are with bricks these are shots across the bow of financial war and we have a dollar that is about to go to zero and if we don't do something that's
Starting point is 01:53:43 what's going to happen and so realistic basis for what i've said okay hang on just a second hang on just a second i don't want to get into an argument with you but i do want to push back a bit um the first thing if you want to save the dollar the first thing you do is clean your own own house up first. Before you say, I'm going to declare war on China, you would say, I'm going to declare war on maybe we don't pay the salaries of everybody in Congress and in Washington, because they're the ones that are tubing this, this and the Federal Reserve. Why would I go outside of my own borders first and cause a war with Russia when really I should clean out my own house first.
Starting point is 01:54:32 I agree with you on those points. I do. Okay. But, you know, China's coming after us. So is the Federal Reserve. And their fire and shots across the bow. Now, I agree. This would be the dropping of a nuclear bomb in financial war.
Starting point is 01:54:47 This would be a full on financial war against China, clearly. But the question becomes, are we headed that way? Oh, yes. Yes, we are. But I don't, I, look, they invade Taiwan. I would consider it. They, you know, they get into war with us. I would absolutely do it.
Starting point is 01:55:08 However, I don't really want to be the one that drops the nuclear bomb on China because I don't think the rest of the world would believe us. And the fastest thing we can do is get everybody dumping our treasuries that they do hold. Then our dollar is over immediately. And China would convince half the world to do just that. Thanks for your call, Jeff. Seems to that we should be, there are differences in just not paying, I mean, full faith and credit is a big deal. And it would really rock the world economy and ours really badly.
Starting point is 01:55:43 But taking steps to the direction of being less economically tied to China is, I think, the right way to move. I think you saw some of that in the Trump administration. Yes. But you can't really do that with the spending that we've had. even if Trump, you know, Trump is not a debt guy. He doesn't, but he's not bothered by debt. I am, but I buy into his theory to some degree. And that is, look, you cut your spending when you're at full earning power. Well, we're not even at full earning power. If we get rid of all of these things, we can create businesses. We can pay these bills. And he's right. However, I'm not comfortable because it seems that only happens when we have certain people in.
Starting point is 01:56:31 and we just keep growing this debt. The first things that you need to do is stop the accumulation of debt. I just don't, you cannot clean out your, you cannot clean out somebody else's house. It's like after, you know, in 2008, right before the crash, our financial heads of all of our banks went over and lectured China on how you really need to run. You know, look, we have all the credibility.
Starting point is 01:57:01 We know how to run, you know, the banking sector and loans and everything else. And we crashed. What an embarrassment. They laughed at us when we were there because they saw what was coming. Yeah. I will also say if we're going to do this with China, which I think is the right thing to do. One important. Get away from China.
Starting point is 01:57:19 Get away from that. Not his policy. Yeah. Yeah. I appreciate the sentiment. Yes. But I mean. And if there's war, yes, maybe.
Starting point is 01:57:27 Maybe. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. But moving away from our economic ties with China is something that we should be pursuing. However, and this is something that, you know, we were talking about with the house race, you don't just do something, right? You do something with a plan for what's going to replace it. And you better have a replacement for China because our entire way of life changes if we just cut them out completely right now. Everything changes.
Starting point is 01:57:53 Might I suggest a replacement for China? India. India is a country that has much some familiarity, some friendliness to Western values. They at least, they loved us when Trump was in office. I mean, they were like, I mean, they loved us there. You have a large population, a real manufacturing base. We should be doing everything we can to encourage India to be moving the right way for Western values, as much as we can control that with carrots.
Starting point is 01:58:24 And then also, you know, encouraging companies to do business. is with countries like India that can actually give us a lot of the stuff that we're getting from China, but also in a way that makes a heck of a lot more sense. And obviously, American manufacturing is another big part of this, increasing that and everything else. But you're never going to replace China with American manufacturing completely. Some companies will be able to do it. Certain products you can help on, certain things for defense purposes, you should bring in internally more often. But when you're talking about wide-scale economic pursuits, you got a country that's got over a billion people and they don't hate America.
Starting point is 01:59:01 You know, like, embracing them and helping them through their troubles is probably something we should be focusing on a little bit more. Quickly, let me go to Diane in California. Hi, Diane. Good morning, Glenn. Happy Monday. Thank you. I have a question without the normal argument that we hear that, oh, my God, we'll
Starting point is 01:59:21 never win another election. But why, what is it going to take to get the majority? of the Republican Party, the 80 million people who voted for Donald Trump to leave this party and become independence. Why hasn't Donald Trump become an independent? We've allowed RFK to take over that aspect of the three-party system now. It's another Democrat, regardless of, you know, all the nice things he says that people think are great, which he is and he's a Democrat. What is it going to take to lead these rhinos and never-Trumpers and people that are feckless and refuse to fight for what we the people want.
Starting point is 02:00:01 Like we want Jim Jordan. Every poll says that. Yet they're fighting us. What do we do to make that third party the strongest party of all three? Well, I want to say something really unpopular. The last thing you do is start a third party three or four months or six months before this election. do not vote for RFK. Do not.
Starting point is 02:00:30 He is not a constitutionalist. He is a constitutionalist when he likes it. When he thinks he can fool people who care about the Constitution. Yeah, he is really a dangerous candidate. So don't do anything this time. But I will tell you, I think, you know, when you've got a four-year ramp up, Donald Trump would have been smart, I think.
Starting point is 02:00:56 If you can get enough Democrats, or sorry, enough Republicans to leave. But it can't be about a person. It has to be about an idea. It has to be bigger than the person involved. Donald Trump doesn't need a third party.
Starting point is 02:01:13 He's winning by 40 points. Right? And, you know, again, remember, Trump supported aggressively McCarthy. I know. So I don't, I understand that there's certainly different differences between rhinos and Donald Trump, a lot of them. But I mean, this was his pick. He, he harangued people on the House floor to vote for McCarthy.
Starting point is 02:01:34 That was his pick. And so now he's supporting Jordan. I think Jordan would be an improvement over McCarthy. Huge. But Trump is, you know, huge. I know that, first of all, Trump, it's hard to do it with a third party, which is one of the reasons why people continually fail at it. even when they have really high polls, you know, and there's a reason why Trump goes to the Republican Party because that's where he can win and the constructures already built. Correct. But that was at a time in 2016 where we got to take over it. The Republicans, those McConnell's and the dirty ones, they're never going to get out. They're never going to get out. They are going to continue to try to do everything they can for their little rhinoville. I am one that.
Starting point is 02:02:19 would love to see the big, not before an election, but the big players in Washington. And I'd love it if you had a really, really conservative Republican, I mean, Democrat, but I can't find one. But people that would say, I'm leaving. I'm not playing this game anymore. Because I think the Republicans are so rotted from the inside, a lot of people would follow and get out. And it needs to happen. You've seen some of this. People have become independent, even if there's just voting for Republicans still, becoming an independent voter sends a message.
Starting point is 02:02:55 All right. Back in just a second. As Israel faces a surge in violence, the global market response has been swift and decisive. Investors are making a rush for the doors of safe haven assets hedging their bets against growing geopolitical turbulence. The appeal of assets like gold and U.S. treasuries has strengthened. The U.S. stock futures experiencing a dip could get bad. Gold is shining a little brighter right now. When risks surge around the world, there's a domino effect, and it's a flight away from things that don't have real value and are tied directly to whatever's happening in the world. Gold is just always there. It's always been there. And its price will fluctuate, but it goes up as things become more.
Starting point is 02:03:48 terrible and more unstable. We're not immune to these things. Silver lining in this gold line already offers a ray of stability. As the world spins out of control, diversify your investments. This week, Goldline has a golden

Starting point is 02:05:24 And that's going to be very difficult. If you are living in a district with a weenie, wishy-washy Republican, you need to call them. And very politely, without any... threats say there is going to be consequences at the ballot box. I and my group, we will do everything. We will raise money against you. We will campaign against you.
Starting point is 02:05:53 We will find your replacement. And we have a very long memory. Vote for Jim Jordan. Because if we don't, we're going to be forced into a compromise with the wishy-washy rhinos and the Democrats. and the Democrats are just, they're salivating for this. Again, I go back to, you know, have a plan before you execute the guy who was at least stable. This is going to get very bad for the Republicans and very bad for our side if they don't vote for Jim Jordan.
Starting point is 02:06:29 Because you will, in effect, give the Democrats all that power back. Congratulations. So call your congressman today. The Glenn Back Program.
