Starting point is 00:00:00 60% of the vans on Amazon come to vendor independent like Sac Magic. Hello, here Camille of Sac Magic. Our compresses, show of fraud are fabriced in Quebec, and our presence on Amazon
Starting point is 00:00:09 enlarge our clientele to the world entire. Trouvee to Petites entre on Ourson.com. Oh my gosh. You know, I thought all this rioting was caused by
Starting point is 00:00:20 Antifa and all of the Democrats that are in office that are funding it, that are backing it, that are bailing people out, that are doing nothing about it. I thought it was the Democrats.
Starting point is 00:00:36 And then I heard Joe Biden speak yesterday. And oh my gosh, these are not the droids you're looking for. It was amazing. And he is so on top of it. Let me just give you a quick clip of what he said about COVID in this speech yesterday. COVID has taken this year just since the outbreak. Just since the outbreak. It's taken more than 100 years.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Look, here's the lives. It's just, when you think about it. Okay. I am trying. More lives this year than any other year for the past 100 years. Wow, that is. And this is serious. They're actually running this guy.
Starting point is 00:01:24 But wait, there's more. And we get to it in 60 seconds. This is. The Glenn Beck program. So, Stu, I want you to, I mean, this year since the outbreak and schooling hasn't been, there's a hundred years. Years. I mean. A hundred years of each year.
Starting point is 00:01:46 I mean, you know, think about it. If you think about it. Schooling. There's one year per 100 years for every year. For schooling. I don't think. It's obvious. Right. I don't, hang on. We just had a power outage. Are we still on?
Starting point is 00:02:04 I think we should just keep going as if we are. That's still on radio. Okay. That's how this works, Mr. Hall of Fame. No, let's talk about the power outage. Well, we just had a power outage and everything in front of me went black. And so I'm trying to do a commercial. I don't even know what commercial it is. It's obviously life lock. So the 100 years of this year and the schooling and kids are now, what at home for 100 years? and they don't have the, you know, the wherewithal the, you know, stop cyber criminals. That was a good cover. Wow.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Can we move up the induction? No, we can't. We can't. We can't. No, now it doesn't matter if I'm any good. I'm already in the Hall of Fame. You can never take that away. So now I'm trying some.
Starting point is 00:02:55 There are some clauses. You are really? I've gone through the founding documents of the Radio Hall of Fame. you try to find some clauses to get you removed? Okay, okay. So anyway, life lock right now can help you with your kids and 100 years in school and cyber criminals. So all you have to do now is just call life lock. And they solve that problem that Joe Biden was talking about.
Starting point is 00:03:15 It's a big job. You can't do it yourself. You cannot. I mean, we had in my neighborhood, our school alerted us. There was somebody that was attacking the online classes and all of the kids. And the police called and said, we're about to, we're about to nail this gang that is trying to get in and, you know, do what people do with children, I guess. They are everywhere. Stu doesn't understand what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:03:50 It was a bad, looks like a ring of predators. Ah. And what's really frightening is my children and all their friends knew what we were talking about when we read it. And we said, do you guys know about this? And they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, I don't think it's funny. But a lot of my friends think it's funny. We're like, yeah, this is a really bad ring. And they infiltrated the school records and got all the kids and all of their online stuff.

You know, let's face it, most people here are pretty upset and pretty sad because of the election. And now, Big Tech is working overtime to influence the presidential race the way they want. Facebook, YouTube, Google.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Glenn exposes the tools they're using. using to manipulate your vote. What? Digital Stormtroopers. How big tech will silence you and steal the election. Tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern at playstivy.com slash Glenn. Now, I have some good news for you. I think that that battle is going to be uphill for them,
Starting point is 00:05:40 but they can swing it up to, was it? It's it 10 or 15 points. I just read it again this morning. It's an enormous amount that they can swing it. Tech can swing the election. So we're going to be on that tomorrow, but it is going to be, I think, a bigger blowout than what the polls are showing. I could be wrong. I would be really clear.
Starting point is 00:06:05 I usually am wrong when it comes to politics. But let's just wait and see. The Democrats, they think they're in trouble, so much so that they think that they can get away with something because apparently their voters are so stupid. that they don't remember that for months, they've heard nothing but crickets from the left when it comes to condemning the riots and the violence. And, I mean, it's been a slow burn horror movie, gradually smoldering amongst the desperate Democratic Party that had zero message, zero unity, and facing a serious inner party civil war. So what did they do? They just blew, hang on, I think I got a spark. and they've been trying to get a race or class riot started for a very long time.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Now what happens when it looks like it's backfiring on them? They're trying to reverse course and not saying, you know what, we made a mistake. No, no, no. They are acting as if none of that happened. Here's clip one from yesterday, Joe Biden in Philadelphia. You know, this is a tragic fact of the matter about his perilous hour, that how he's dealing with this perilous hour in our nation. And now we have to stand against violence in every form it takes.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Violence we've seen again and again and again of unwarranted police shooting, excessive force, seven bullets of the back of Jacob Blake, knee on the neck of George Floyd, killing of Brianna Taylor in her own apartment. violence of extremists and opportunist, right-wing militias, white supremacists, vigilantes, you know, who infiltrate protests carrying weapons of war, hoping to wreak havoc and to derail any hope and support for progress. That is quite a statement coming from Joe Biden. First of all, the American people were not against the stopping of any of those guys.
Starting point is 00:08:17 There was not a problem with any of those shootings. As far as the American public, we were all on the same side. We wanted them to stop. We didn't think that George Floyd should have had a neck or knee on his neck. We all agreed. But no, no. The Democrats wanted to make sure there were protests and not peaceful protests. They did nothing in city after city to stop riots and looting.
Starting point is 00:08:47 I'm sorry, that's a different story. And we've all seen that story. We've also seen Maxine Waters stand in front of a crowd and actually tell people to track down and harass cabinet members. We saw Eric Holder say, when they go low, we kick them. We've heard Hillary Clinton say, we just can't be civil anymore. And when the rioting that they so desperately hoped would happen actually happened, we watched Nancy Pelosi say, you know, people will do what people do. Congressman Nadler told the violence was a myth.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Ayanna Presley went on national TV and said there needs to be unrest in the street. So did Nancy Pelosi, let's not forget. Why aren't people rioting? But it wasn't just the Democrats in D.C. Their propaganda arm, the mainstream media, was quick to back the play. CNN hilariously said the protests were peaceful while, while standing in front of a parking lot full of burning cars. They did it again last week.
Starting point is 00:09:55 You know what they actually came out and said? They actually now have come out and said, hey, a few blocks is not a whole city. Well, tell that to the people who live in those few blocks. Do you not care about individuals at all? And what neighborhoods are they burning down? The nice ones? The overall grand strategy was to let,
Starting point is 00:10:20 America burn, hoping that it would make Trump look bad? Well, it backfired and dare I say it, bigly. Polls are now turning the so-called early route that Democrats thought they were seeing a few months ago, now into a virtual tie. Real clear politics just released their new betting odds for who will win, and it's a toss-up. But I don't think it actually is a toss-up. I think there millions of Democrats and independents who might have not liked Donald Trump, but they see what's happened to their Democratic Party and they want nothing to do with it. Seems like Americans just don't like blood in the streets. They don't like rioting and violence. They don't like when their livelihoods are destroyed and their elected officials just stand by watching it happen. I'm going
Starting point is 00:11:14 to be very interested to see what happens in the next mayoral election. in Portland, in Seattle, in Kenosha. So now we have a few Democrats that are willing to come out and publicly state that the, that rioting is bad, the obvious. But that's not what they actually believe because they're on record saying the exact opposite. The only reason why they're saying it now is because they're now pointing the finger at Trump. I want you to listen to cut cut three I look at this violence
Starting point is 00:11:57 and I see lives and communities and the dreams of small businesses being destroyed and the opportunity for real progress and the issues of race and police reform and justice
Starting point is 00:12:09 being put to the test Donald Trump looks at this violence and he sees a political lifeline unbelievable unbelievable Unbelievable. Never mind. Never mind a Black Lives Matter started under the Obama administration. Do you remember that? Do we have the video of Ferguson? When did that happen? That happened under the Obama administration. Go ahead and play it, please. You need to disperse immediately or you will be subject to arrest. Do it now. This is not Donald Trump's America, as Joe Biden is saying.
Starting point is 00:12:47 broken into and looted. Tear gas has been thrown, water bottles. We witnessed being thrown at police. If you remember, tear gas just drop right near us. It's going to get very bad here if we don't have masks. If you remember right, in Portland, they were rioting under Joe Biden
Starting point is 00:13:08 and Barack Obama's America as well. This has been fomented. This has been really well-crafted. It is the Democrat. that have put $175 million into Black Lives Matter inks, coffers. This is not, you're watching a stage play.
Starting point is 00:13:32 And now the playwright sees that at intermission, everybody is walking out. And he's like, wait, wait, wait, wait. And he's trying to change what the character said in the first half. Nobody's going to buy that. These are Democratic governors, Democratic mayors,
Starting point is 00:13:49 Democratic city councils. These are progressive hellholes that have these people have been in power for decades. So how is that Trump's fault? I mean, do you really believe Democrats? And I'm talking about the Democrats in power. Do you really believe your voters are this stupid? I mean, even I don't believe that. And you always say, I think, the worst of the Democrats that are voting.
Starting point is 00:14:17 No, I don't. I think they're patriotic Americans, many of them, liberals that I disagree with. But they're not revolutionaries. They don't hate America. They don't go out and burn the flag. They come with us to Fourth of July. They, who in awe and, yes, even some of them occasionally weep during the fireworks, the star-spangled banner. Many of them are very patriotic.
Starting point is 00:14:45 You don't think they are. you think they're all revolutionaries and dumb ones at that because they won't remember what you've been saying. You know, how is this Trump's fault? It's his fault that the same Democratic officials are now rejecting help from federal law enforcement, refusing the National Guard, telling their cops to stand down. That's Trump's fault? Was Ferguson's Trump's fault as well? Was Ferguson really in 2014?
Starting point is 00:15:22 And if this is the case, why didn't they use that line at any time during the DNC? Because the polls hadn't come out yet. Democrats were getting exactly what they wanted. And now Americans are pissed off. They think you're stupid. I'm sorry. I don't think America is that stupid. A few weeks ago, Senator Ted Cruz repeatedly gave the good senator from Hawaii
Starting point is 00:15:54 multiple opportunities to call out the rioters. She actually got up and walked out of the room. She wouldn't declare the rioters as a problem. It's the same song and dance that Democrats like Pelosi, Nadler, refusing to call out the violence. It was their strategy. They wanted the main street of U.S. to burn down. And they coordinated their collective silence.
Starting point is 00:16:23 let's remember the the vice president want to be kamala harris was on the late show with with stephen colbert here's what she said about the riots oh we don't have sorry we don't have it i two months ago she said quote this is a movement i'm telling you everyone beware protesters are not going to stop before election day in november and they're not going to stop after election day They should not. They should not. And we should not. She's fine.

Starting point is 00:19:18 So, peaceful protests. Peaceful protests. Here we have Kamala Harris on Colbert saying this. Clear that I know that there are protests still happening in major cities across the United States. I just not seeing the reporting on it that I had for the first few weeks. That's right. But they're not to stop. They're not going to stop.
Starting point is 00:19:39 And that's, they're not, this is a movement, I'm telling you, they're not going to stop. And, and everyone beware, because they're not going to stop. It is going to, they're not going to stop before election day in November and they're not going to stop after election day. And they know it. And that should be, everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't, they're not going to let up and they should not. Okay. So this is, she knows that because they're coordinating with the Democrats. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:05 But they call, uh, they call the riots protests. America stopped calling these protests a long time ago. The only ones that are doing it right now are the Democrats, and they're even changing, the Democrats and the media. They've called these peaceful, peaceful protests with, you know, some violence. No, I see violence. No, and I don't see peaceful protests anymore at all. Do you have you seen peaceful protesters anywhere? You know, you get them during the day.
Starting point is 00:20:42 You get them before the nights turns down. And then as soon as all the reporters go home and it's just the police and the peaceful protesters, then they turned into non-peaceful protesters. Well, they did something. Kamala Harris did something along with the Democrats that I don't think a lot of people know about. And if they're not supporting these people, why are they doing this? We'll tell you about that in just a moment. minute. Are you tired of not only paying too much for your mobile phone service, but also knowing that some exorbitant amount of money that you're shelling out every month is going to support causes

Starting point is 00:23:03 just one thing and Pat, maybe you can help us out. Kamala Harris and the Democrats now are coming out and they're saying they're against these riots. But if you're against these riots, why would you be bailing people out? Now, you bail protesters out, but protesters usually are just released on their own recognizance or it's a very small bail. Let's say it's $300. Early on, that was the average bail, $343.
Starting point is 00:23:31 dollars. Now the average bail is 13,000. And Harris had been pushing an organization called the Minnesota Freedom Fund. And the donations were going to be spent to bail out protesters that were arrested by police. Now, I mean, you shouldn't, if you're protesting, you don't go to jail in America. It's if you've done something. But these were not peaceful. And the left wanted them out of jail to be able to continue to wreak havoc. So Kamala Harris's advocacy for the Minnesota Freedom Fund helped her draw donors from Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:24:08 We know at least 13 members from Joe Biden's campaign were also donors, and they bragged about it all over Twitter. They've raised $30 million. Okay. We can't really figure out where all of that money went because Minnesota operates in a way to make sure you can't really you find out who was actually bailed up by the Minnesota Freedom Fund. But Fox 9 in Minneapolis did some legwork and found some of the names. Listen to this. One of those that they bailed out was Jaliel Stallings.
Starting point is 00:24:44 He's a guy that was peacefully protesting with a kind of a handmade gun that he made into an AK-47, where he was shooting at members of the SWAT team during the riots in May. They recovered a modified. It sounds mostly peaceful. Yeah, it was mostly peaceful. I mean, he had to breathe in between shots. He didn't just continue to hold the trigger down. He didn't shoot it.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Everybody. Exactly right. Mostly, it was just SWAT members. They paid $75,000 in cash to get him out. Now, this is Kamala Harris. She's raising money for this group, and they're bailing him out. Why would you want him out on the streets? Why would you want him?
Starting point is 00:25:27 The Biden campaign, Kamala Harris, they should be asked, why did you help fund the bail for an attempted cop killer? Why? Another person bailed out was Darnika Floyd. She was charged with second-degree murder for stabbing her friend to death. They released her on $100,000 cash for her release. Why are the Democrats?
Starting point is 00:25:54 What? Christopher Boswell, a twice convicted rapist. currently charged with kidnapping assault and sexual assault on two separate cases. They paid $350,000 in cash for his release. Before the death of George Floyd, this organization would Democrat support, Biden and Harris's support and fundraisers in their own midst. They bailed out 563 people. The average bail was 342.
Starting point is 00:26:27 however after after george floyd they've bailed out 184 people the average bail 13,195 that means the violent of the violent of the street rioters are being bailed out and put back on the street by the democratic party the president of the american bail coalition his name is jeff clayton i saw a story he said there has to be some scrutiny on this it has to be some scrutiny on this it has to be violent criminals because that's all that's left. There's nobody else left. There are no protesters left to spend this kind of money on. Yeah, because there's no protesters in jail, just violent rioters, like Jail Jalings,
Starting point is 00:27:12 who is shooting at police and trying to kill the police. And for them to now take this stand is so insulting to their voters, not to me. I know who they are, but to their voters. It's crazy. It's crazy. And quite honestly, it's evil. The lies that are going on, absolute evil. Yeah, well, I just had Paul Kangor on my show earlier this morning.
Starting point is 00:27:40 And he was talking about Carl Marx. His new book is called The Devil and Carl Marx. And when you read the quotes that came out of Marx's mouth and read some of the poetry that he wrote, there are people, Paul doesn't go this far, but he makes the point that there are people who think that Carl Marx was actually possessed by Satan during his lifetime. And that's how he came up with Marxism, with his theory. Even if you're not, by the way, can I just, ADD moment, I'm just seeing this picture of Pittsburgh the speech that Joe Biden gave. If you're giving a speech about how safe the cities are, you shouldn't do it from a cage. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:28:24 But anyway, he's got this big cage behind him. Anyway, the... But I think I never thought of it like that. I don't know why, because I should have. As evil as Marxism is, it kind of makes sense that he was possessed when he... Yeah, I don't know about the possession thing, but he was certainly influenced.
Starting point is 00:28:44 I mean, this is... Absolutely. This is... It is Satan's plan. Right, it could have been written by Satan. I mean, it is... Everything about it is evil. It takes away people's agency.
Starting point is 00:28:57 It destroys people's strength. You know, it makes them just puppets. It destroys the spirit of entrepreneurship and the spirit of, you know, each of us are individuals. Everything about it. By its very nature, it necessitates eliminating religion. You can't, you can't be communist and religious at the same time. You can't. You've got to be an atheist.
Starting point is 00:29:24 I mean, that's part of Marxism. It's really part of Marxism. Do you buy it? Did you read the book? I have not read the book yet. I'm going to now because it sounded fascinating. Now, I don't know necessarily that he was possessed. I think it's definitely possible. Why wouldn't?
Starting point is 00:29:39 I mean, why not? The guy, the evil that flowed from him, who knows? I mean, by their fruits, you shall know them. Yeah. And his fruits are pretty evil. He also goes into the book about why hasn't Carl Marfan? been cancelled. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Because of the anti-Semitism and the racism? Racism. And again, it's not just recent people who have been canceled, right? They've been tearing down these statues of people all across the country and the world. And, you know, Karl Marx should never be mentioned favorably in college or anything else under these rules. How about this stuff he wrote about his own son-in-law? Oh, my gosh. Destroyed him.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Gosh. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. And didn't he kill himself? His son-in-law killed himself. Yeah, he destroyed his life. And I think his daughter did as well. Two of his daughters died in suicide packs.
Starting point is 00:30:31 With their husbands. Yeah. I mean, the guy was, that's a good. That's just that alone is pretty evil. Pretty evil. Yeah. It's ugliness. And yet, it's being pursued by how many young people now today?
Starting point is 00:30:44 Because they don't see the fruits of it today, except for communism in China, where it's a hybrid of capitalism. So that kind of. That's the new. Negates it a little bit. Yeah, that's the new thing. Yeah. That's the new thing. That is the great reset is a hybrid between, they'll call it socialism, but it's
Starting point is 00:31:03 communism, state control, but they let some people have control. I'm sorry, let some people own businesses, but the state still controls it. So, you know, you take the risk, but the state gets all of the benefits. And that, you know, that would be hip, you know, style of socialism, uh, where you can still own some property, et cetera, et cetera, but the state absolute has control over all of it and can tell you how much you're paying your workers, how much you're going to work them, what you're going to make, what you're not going to make, where you're going to sell it.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Well, that, that's, that's, that's Chinese communism. And that's what they're headed for with this great reset that we'll be telling you about soon. I, I think that's, you know, I think that's absolutely. not only possible but plausible that he was deeply influenced by darkness. Yes. I mean, look at Solalinski. Solalinski. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Dedicated his book. He dedicates the book to Satan. And nobody seems to mind. Right. I mean, it's, it's amazing to me how open evil is right now. And nobody seems to, where are our churches? You know, yesterday I played some audio of a... Some of them have been infiltrated.
Starting point is 00:32:23 by communism. That's where some of them are. Evil. Yeah. But you've got to stop, we have to stop calling this just socialism or communism. What is being preached right now is evil. It is evil. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:37 And we were trying to avoid that word, but there's no avoiding it now. There's just no avoiding it because there's only one word for it and that is evil. I mean, tell me. What does it do? What are the fruits? By your fruits, you shall know them exactly right. What are the fruits of everything that is being preached right now? and being demanded on the streets.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Look at the way the people are acting. I don't recognize destruction. These people that are on the streets. I don't recognize them. They've stopped being thinking people. They are just destroyers. Look at the way that, look at the way they were treating Rand Paul.
Starting point is 00:33:15 If they actually believed in something, Stu, what was that really complex thing that you did last week? Remember, you said, you got a think. Yeah, it's a process. It's learn. Learn.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Then protest. But in that order. In that order, it's way too complex for the average person. Yeah. It's a lot of people like to protest. Yeah, it's confusing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:39 And then riot. Right. Uh-huh. Protests and riot. He says, he says, if they would have just, what was the first one again? Learn. Learn about Rand Paul and the fact that he was leading the effort.
Starting point is 00:33:52 to do exactly what they were yelling at him about. They wouldn't have tried to kill him. Ha. Weird. That's weird. You pick that up when you learn. Yeah, and then you can go out and protest if what you've learned
Starting point is 00:34:04 justifies the protest. Just going out there and screaming at every person that goes by in a suit. Not quite as effective. What's it called when you take a brick and run behind somebody and smash him in the head with it, knock them out so that they go face first into the pavement? Attemptive murder. Attempted murder. Unless you put it on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Okay. Then it's okay. Then it's just... It's hilarious. That guy was out. What do you get the payment? That got to killed him. Now, see, this is how stupid.
Starting point is 00:34:34 His complex system is. Uh-huh. I can still go out and murder, then learn and protest. Oh, you can? Yeah. I don't know if that's really part of my system. Where do I murder? Oh, the murdering's not in my system.

I just want to play some audio here from Oakland, California. Now, remember, these protesters, they're peaceful and all they're looking for, is just, you know, some peace in the streets and just let's get, you know, the best police officers out there. And you'll hear that in their chant. This is yesterday in Oakland, California.
Starting point is 00:37:20 America. Death to America. Don't you love this? Now, they're peaceful. Mostly peaceful. They are peaceful. I mean, mostly. I mean, but they're just marching there and chanting death to America.
Starting point is 00:37:34 And I think that's reasonable, you know. It's a good position. I mean, it's worked for a very long time in Iran and held their people together. And why not? Why not here? Why are we so xenophobic that we don't want another culture and their slogans coming here? Is that the thing to learn from that? I think so.
Starting point is 00:37:57 They're open-minded people. They're like, look, you know, let's embrace some different cultures. They say death to America. Why can't we? There was a time, I think, in this kind of. country and correct me if I'm wrong, Glenn, you're kind of a historian around here. But wasn't there a time where politicians running for office would try to distance themselves from a group of people saying death from America on streets?
Starting point is 00:38:20 There was a time. Now, this is the old timey times. There was a time when presidents would not only distance themselves from people saying death to America, they would say this is an enemy of the state. And sometimes they would go to war with people that were chanting death to America. Wow, that sounds bad. Yeah. Well, they were so close-minded. You know, they were like, hey, your culture is not better than ours.
Starting point is 00:38:44 You know, we still haven't seen tons of polling since all this stuff has happened, but it's like, are they, it's like they're trying to give Trump the election. If you were one of these protesters, what on earth would you think is happening here? Can I tell you something? Think about it this way. Let's just say they do win. How emboldened is the left in this country? and these groups to think that they could do this in the streets
Starting point is 00:39:13 and America would back it. I mean, can you even imagine what's coming next if this is emboldened and rewarded? And Bernie said, as soon as they, if he gets elected, all they're going to do is try to push him to be the most progressive president possible. That was Bernie, Bernie's outlook for the future.

Michael Antoni was a former national security official in the Trump administration, senior fellow at the Claremont Institute, and he has a new book. out called The Stakes America at the point of no return, which is exactly where we are.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Michael, welcome to the program. How are you? Thanks for being on. I just want to mention also my day job, my primary affiliation is that I'm a lecturer at Hillsdale College at our campus in Washington, D.C. Oh, really, a really good institution to be associated with. A fine institution, indeed. Okay, so you are, of course, with this book, you're going to be called
Starting point is 00:44:57 crazy conspiracy theory, you're overreacting. It's all of these things. Trust me, I've been called this for a very long time. And I can't punch a hole in what you're saying is coming because I don't think people really realize the end of America as we know it is here. And it's just waiting for November 3rd to see which way we're going to go. Yeah, I'd love to be wrong. I've never more wanted to be wrong.
Starting point is 00:45:27 You know, you don't want to put six months of your life into something as grueling as writing a book and then say that you hope your entire thesis is wrong. But, you know, what patriotic, decent American wants to be right about the end of your country, as you know it? I certainly don't, but I had to write the book honestly and call it as I saw it. And it's pretty obvious to me, first of all, from having grown up in California and lived in New York, I've seen what happens once voting patterns, demographics, et cetera, tip a place, permanently blue so that there's no effective opposition and what democrats and liberals do and it's very bad second of all you have to do is listen to what they say
Starting point is 00:46:03 and watch what they try to do at the national level to get a picture of what they will do when they have when and if they gain blue dominance coast to coast and essentially turn the USA into a giant California New York it's not hard to figure out what they're going to do all you got to do is look at what they've already done look at what they're doing now and look at what they say they want to do So, again, if I'm crazy alarmist and it's all, you know, it's all not happening, I'd like to hear a convincing refutation of why they won't do what they're already doing and say they want to do. Okay, so describe America, you know, a year from now should the Democrats win? Well, think about some of the completely radical things on their agenda that they ran on, tearing down existing sections of the wall, right?
Starting point is 00:46:53 Not only are they against President Trump's wall, which is still not complete, not because the president doesn't want to build the wall, but because he faces so much internal opposition from the federal government, they want to tear down sections that immediately exist. Joe Biden has said he will amnesty every illegal immigrant in the country. And he uses the fake number, 11 million, which we've been hearing for something like 20 years now. How is it that with porous borders and about a million and a half new entries a year or whatever it is, it's gone down under the Trump administration, the 11 million figures remain static for a couple of decades. That seems unlikely, doesn't it? Well, Yale University put out a study last year, I think it's actually in late 2018,
Starting point is 00:47:31 saying we think the number is more like 22 million, right? We don't know how many illegal immigrants are in the country, but Joe Biden will amnesty them all. And then they will be eligible for family reunification visas for relatives abroad, which is a dumb part of the immigration law that President Trump would like to get rid of, but hasn't been so-called chain migration, but hasn't been able to do because it's impossible to get any piece of good legislation through Congress. So just in Joe Biden's first term alone, we could see the additional importation of tens of millions
Starting point is 00:48:04 of new people, all fast-track to citizenship, so that they can tip purple states blue, reduce an electoral lock for the Democratic Party. Remember the first Democratic debate when they were asked, the 10 candidates were asked, how many of you would extend Medicaid to the course, they never would use the phrase illegal alien. They use whatever euphemism they used undocumented immigrants or something. All ten hands went up. So we're going to bankrupt these federal programs designed,
Starting point is 00:48:35 however, imperfectly designed to help American citizens by giving it by giving care away completely free to people who broke the law to come into the country in the first place. I mean, these are just the beginnings of the radicalism of their agenda that I'm convinced they will implement if they get an intake power. So I'm with you on those things, Michael, but I am more concerned. That's a hard thing to say. But I am more concerned that the silencing of voices, the silencing of our churches,
Starting point is 00:49:13 the silencing of conservatives. I mean, it is not unusual now to hear people on CNN. or whatever saying, you know, conservatives really need to be reeducated. You know, they are, they are in a very frightening, Stalinist kind of path right now. And for the most part, so far they're doing it through, they've outsourced the silencing of voices, censorship, and so on, to private companies, to the social media companies and others. And so you guys do this.
Starting point is 00:49:49 And the government doesn't necessarily need. to do it. I shudder to think what they will do when they also have complete state power. Look, I think their preference is, yes, we absolutely want a lockdown on what can be said, but we'd prefer not to have to use the government to do it because that can get messy and, you know, there might be court challenges. We might lose. It might be unpopular. But, you know, so far there's been very little pushback on tech censorship and complete tech control of speech and thought in this country. And the Dems like it that way because they know that they can count on the tech companies to do exactly what they want them to do. But all of that will get worse.
Starting point is 00:50:28 You know, there should be, right now, there should be significant governmental pushback on these tech monopolies, and there is any. We know for an absolute fact that the tech companies are overwhelmingly democratic in the voting patterns of their employees and in the donations of their executives. And so when you have a Democratic administration in the White House again, I think you'll see these two institutions, work hand in glove to an even greater extent than they have so far, and that will be disastrous for freedom of speech and freedom of thought. And you mentioned churches. I'm the one thing, another thing that worries me very, very much is the way these lockdowns have taken place. You know, we have a legislative branch for a reason, and if there's a need to change policy because of an emergency, right, we should be working through legislative institutions,
Starting point is 00:51:15 whether that's the Congress, whether it's a state legislature, whether it's a city council. But all over the country, we've seen mayors and governors just say, as if they have the power, you can't go outside anymore. Now, that's rule by fiat. I mean, that really is, they call President Trump a fascist and all these kinds of names. Oh, no. What is this extra legislative, extrajudicial power where an executive without color of law, in any respect, just says, I've gave an order, you now must follow it. I don't know, but that's not the kind of government America is supposed to be, and it's not the kind that I want to live in. So they are making rules up for themselves where you can't go to church, but you can go out and protest.
Starting point is 00:51:54 You know, you can go out and riot, but you can't peacefully protest if you're on the wrong side in some states. Yeah, it seems like the more, I hate to use such terminology, but I don't, I can't think of any other. It seems kind of like the more destructive a thing is the more they're willing to tolerate or even encourage it. And the more peaceful and constructive it is, the more they hate. it. So they'll shut down all kinds of businesses, but make sure the pot dispensaries stay open and liquor stores stay open. Now, why is that?
Starting point is 00:52:22 I sense a kind of sinister agenda from what I call in the book, The Ruling Class, that they want as much sort of soul-destroying garbage in the culture as possible, because it keeps the population from getting too restive and from noticing their bad governance and maybe fighting back.
Starting point is 00:52:38 I mean, that is, that was part of the deal with the Weimar Republic. Yeah. And so, you know, I mean, why are we legalizing marijuana all over the country? And why are Republican lawmakers when they leave Congress, including a former Speaker of the House, becoming lobbyists for marijuana, which is a substance, whatever you think of it? I mean, it's not conducive to having a constructive life or to, you know, ultimately to the social order. I think it's because they think, you know, well, the more people are just on the couch stoned,
Starting point is 00:53:12 then, you know, the less trouble they're going to give us. You talk in the book about a couple of things that I would like you to expand on. Caesarism? Yeah. Explain. Caesarism is a form of, so it's obviously named after the first Caesar, Julius Caesar, who took over the last remnant of the Roman Republic about 50 years before the birth of Christ and turned it into a one-man rule state.
Starting point is 00:53:35 It's a particular form of one-man rule. Another way of terming one-man absolute rule is, you know, you can call an absolute monarchy, or you can call it a tyranny, right? But it's a particular form that becomes, in a sense, it's not justified, maybe necessitated, when the constitutional order is broken and can't go on. And so you're, you ask me about this, this isn't a chapter of the book, Chapter 7,
Starting point is 00:54:00 in which I speculate. I basically don't take sides. I don't make recommendations, but I say, if the present ruling arrangement is a thing that can't go on forever, as I think that's possible, then it'll have. to stop it'll have to break what will follow it what will and i caesarism is one of those things
Starting point is 00:54:17 that could follow it if if if present trends continue especially without president trump and his closest allies fighting them i think the country as we've known it could break and then something has to follow and that caesarism could could be one of those things and caesarism could emerge from either side it's easier to imagine caesarism coming from the blue side or the democratic side just because they have all of the commanding heights, you know, powerful institutions in America now, except one, the White House, which they're determined to get back this fall. It's harder to imagine a path for a Caesarism of the other side to happen, but not impossible. And I, you know, I give all of the reasons and sort of speculate about how this
Starting point is 00:54:58 one might happen or that one might happen just because I think no one's thinking about these things. And I point the finger in particular at conservatives. You know, I'm not going to name names necessarily, but there's a strain of conservative thought, which is so in love with the idea of American exceptionalism that it thinks that nothing can ever get bad enough for America, for America to fundamentally change for the worst. So human possibilities that have been around since there has been mankind, you know, the fall of republics, tyrannies, civil wars, things like that,
Starting point is 00:55:29 we don't even have to think about them in America because they can't happen here anymore. And I think that's foolish. And somebody needed to begin the conversation about, well, what happens if it does get bad enough? And so I stuck my neck out and did that. So Michael Anton, he's the author of The Stakes. And I want to talk to you about, because I think we're closer to these things, Michael, than most people do.
Starting point is 00:55:53 I could see a breakdown on the election. It's already going to happen with the Democrats saying mail-in votes. It'll be days before we know. That will be a shock to the system. and it will, you know, probably will end that night with Trump being ahead. Then these ballots will trickle in and trickle in and trickle in and trickle in and it will appear as a stealing. Even if he, even if Trump continues to hold, they are going to say, look how many people are being disenfranchised.
Starting point is 00:56:28 They're throwing all these ballots out because the typical number of ballots on mail-in that are thrown out is about 20 percent. and they'll make this into some new scandal. I could see either side standing up and saying, that's not my president. It's not my, and secession, serious talk of secession where states say, I'm not abiding by use because you're out of control.
Starting point is 00:56:54 I'm worried about this too. I, you know, I do go into some of these election issues in the book. I couldn't, you know, they're so vast and complicated. Yeah, I know. write an entire book about how, you know, to do modern election fraud, especially with the way these changes are taking place. So I'm foreseeing exactly the same possibility that you foresee. I mean, the best, you know, we probably won't have what we had in 2016, where by about two or three
Starting point is 00:57:20 o'clock in the morning, if you were still awake, you knew who the president was going to be, right? It was over. And, you know, days may be optimistic. It could be weeks or months. So I have a section in that famous chapter, well, famous. It's not famous yet, but it might be. Chapter 7 in which I say states could secede, and this could happen from the blue left or the red right, depending. Now, I don't necessarily even know that about secession, right? One is actually pulling it off, right? Because the other is just, so what happens if a state just passes a state legislature passes a resolution and says, we've seceded from the United States of America?
Starting point is 00:58:01 Well, it's not really accomplished until the issue is settled in both sides agree. yeah, yeah, we're separate countries now. Are the feds going to necessarily accept that? And if they decide that they don't want to accept it, what are they going to do about it? And will what they try to do about it be effective? These are all questions that I think we've barely begun thinking about, much less thinking through.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Better hurry. I don't resolve any of them in the book, because I don't know the answers, but I think I have raised all of the questions that we need to be talking about. And if I haven't, I urge people to read what I wrote and write it up somewhere, say, well, Anton forgot this, and he didn't think about this, and he didn't think about that, because we
Starting point is 00:58:38 need to get on this right away. So I tell you, Michael, I thank you for doing this from the point of view from the conservative right, because I do believe the left has already wargamed this years ago. Yeah, I don't know. You say they were game. They wargamed it pretty recently. I'm assuming you saw the leak that they deliberately planted in. I can't remember if it was Politico or the New York Times about a month.
Starting point is 00:59:05 ago where they got together and they had a war game scenario that included secession and then they deliberately put that out into the press for for reasons you know we can only speculate about but they don't you don't leak something to the press unless you think you're going to benefit from the league so they must think that they benefit from the leak somehow and in one of those scenarios um in which president trump wins this is a member these are democratic and anti-trump players playing this game trump wins convincingly in the electoral college but loses the popular vote just like 2016. And the Biden campaign refuses to concede and tries to urge states that Trump won to send Biden electors. And from there, the dispute gets to a point where, remember, if the election
Starting point is 00:59:52 gets kicked into the House, it's not the full House that votes. It's the state delegations. Each state has a vote. So even though the Democrats control the House, you don't control they don't control it. Right. Each state delegation in that sense. So under this scenario, certain states, I think they had California and some others seceded
Starting point is 01:00:14 because they didn't want to live under President Trump. Now, call me crazy, and many people will. But they have a hard time imagining Red America saying, oh, no, California, please don't go. All right, hang on, hang on, hang on, Michael. I'm sorry, I have a network break. I've got to stop for. The author of The Stakes, Michael Anton,

We're going to, we are going to have to have Michael back on again because I think he is saying the things that I think about, but I don't think enough people are. thinking about. We have to have, we can't be blindsided. And I do believe that the Democrats have thought these things through. This is, you know, look, they tried to have a coup against the president. They're not going to sit around on their thumbs and let the stupid people just walk away and have Donald Trump. We can't allow that to happen. That's why they did what they did. What
Starting point is 01:02:46 did last time. They've thought this through in all of the different possibilities. We must as well, for those who want to preserve the Constitution and defend the Constitution, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, you've got to start thinking in a different way. Highly recommend you pick this book up. It's called The Stakes America at the point of no return. Back in just a second with Ken Cuccinelli.

Starting point is 01:04:51 This is the Glenn Beck program. Ken Cuccinelli is with us. He's the acting DHS deputy secretary, former Attorney General of Virginia, he is a federalist, meaning he believes the state rights are the most important and is not looking for any kind of national police work. But he is now working in Portland and all over the country where these riots are happening. and as soon as the governor asked for the help from the federal government, they're sending it in. Welcome again to the program. Ken, how are you? Good to be with you, Glenn. I'm doing well. Thank you. I wanted to talk to you about Portland and this shooting.
Starting point is 01:05:39 I think this was an execution that happened in Portland. And by a really, really bad guy, apparently. Can you tell us what we know about this? the alleged shooter. Preliminary and it's a messy situation. The investigation has just begun. And one of the tough things about this sort of a situation, especially for us Americans, is, you know,
Starting point is 01:06:07 we're so antsy and impatient. We want everything done yesterday. But to do an investigation correctly does take some time. But the initial person of interest is clearly someone with a track record. And generally, to put it, And, you know, when you invite and, frankly, encourage violence for months at a time, what you get is violence. And you also, and frankly, in some respects, add people who are just fed up who are so frustrated with the failure of the rule of law that they want to go do it themselves. And historically, we've called the vigilantes.
Starting point is 01:06:55 But the reality is America policed itself for, you know, the first hundred years of its existence, right? there were no police. There was you and me in our neighborhoods. And that attitude, that cultural element has never left us completely. And when people like the mayor of Portland intentionally decline to adequately police invite more violence in, violence begets violence. It doesn't burn itself out. And we've seen that all over the country, the obvious comparison being Kenosha,
Starting point is 01:07:30 where a somewhat reluctant, Governor Evers did bring in national. guard, you know, small amounts at first. But when he finally put it, some more violence happened, the president had urged him to do so. Peace broke out and has remained in Kenosha. This is the peace through strength concept that Ronald Reagan made famous in international relations simply applied to domestic tranquility. And that's the goal. It's the goal of the president to the governor of Oregon to achieve peace. So let's talk about Wisconsin here for a second. If you watch that video, and I'm not saying this kid should have gone down there, but that is what people do.
Starting point is 01:08:17 I mean, you know, it's crazy that the left is. We were just talking about it, right? So people show up because they don't see the government doing their job, and it offends them. And so they show up to help out their fellow Americans. Right. And isn't this just what happened in Charlottesville? I mean, the Nazis were there, and the left decided to show up to stop it. and that caused the problem.
Starting point is 01:08:42 And those, of course, were the good guys, according to the media. Now, somebody shows up and says, hey, you know, we got to at least protect these businesses, et cetera. He's a bad guy. But that said, I wouldn't have had my son there. And I would be really upset if my kids went to that. Right, right, right. However, the video looks like it was self-defense, especially with all of the other videos showing this guy really trying to jump him several times.
Starting point is 01:09:09 and the left is acting like it like none of that matters and they're saying look first degree murder Ken how are they charging this kid with first degree murder well first of all they did it so quickly that you knew they were just slapping on a charge and remember the standard to charge is much lower than to convict
Starting point is 01:09:33 I would be astonished if that charge weren't dramatically reduced, possibly ultimately dropped, but dramatically reduced before they go forward with it. Because in the absence of other information that we haven't seen, and one of the things about having all this public video, it can be a little chaotic, but it does give everybody at least some window into what happened. And you clearly, as you've said, Glenn, see this kid and his lawyer is a, you know, broadcast, they're going to defend on self-defense. And you have a right to defend yourself.
Starting point is 01:10:15 The real question, I think, that the whole thing will come down to is the amount of force used. Was it appropriate under the circumstances? And I think that's what the whole thing will turn on. And if a jury finds that it was a legitimate use of force, meaning me using a gun was appropriate under the circumstances, then he will not end up being convicted of anything under those circumstances. So let's go back to Portland.
Starting point is 01:10:47 They, the, the press is making this, this guy who lost his life as, you know, a guy who is inciting violence. Ken, doesn't it look like an execution? Is there a defense for somebody, you know, saying, you know, hey, I don't agree with you. And just even forcefully, I don't agree with you. But not having a weapon. And then somebody just pulling out a gun and is shooting you?
Starting point is 01:11:18 Yeah. See, when you've got one-on-one, we don't have nearly the kind of video coverage that we do of the Kenosha situation that you and I were just talking about. So the facts surrounding what actually happened are much less certain here. But one of the factors, if this is a one-on-one situation, is an armed person and an unarmed person. You know, that's with my captain obvious cape on, right? But that's a factor here.
Starting point is 01:11:53 And it also raises the question of malevolence, to your point, was this? premeditated in some way. And that is still, you know, a long way off from being resolved. That one's going to be murkier and more difficult to investigate, I think, than the Kenosha case, in part because there's so much video in the Kenosha situation. You know, whenever you have video of violence, you need to understand the context and you need to be able to know what happened before and sometimes after. But at least you have it.
Starting point is 01:12:33 I don't have the luxury government and the state government that's responsible for this of going too far down the road of potential conclusions to show and talking about this situation. Okay, rallies are over. We're walking out. And some people may go picking fights with others who don't agree with them. Invited, this mayor and governor have encouraged, they have merely allowed it. Extraordinary, allow this to go on like this.
Starting point is 01:13:34 And undoubtedly, Glenn, you saw the governor's quote plan, quote, for resolving the violence in Portland, relying on surrounding law enforcement sheriff's offices. And they declined to enter. And one of the most outstandingly written letters that I have seen in a very long time was by one of Washington County sheriff nearby, I think it was Washington County, who said, I cannot, I want peace, I'll help analyze social media, I'll do these other things to help at a distance, but without the political support and without.
Starting point is 01:14:09 the prosecutions being undertaken and putting, I cannot put my deputies in that kind of danger, in that sort of protect them. I have an obligation to my own deputies to not put them in those situations. And I think that sheriff was absolutely right. This mayor and this governor have all the tools they have ever needed violence, alternative. And I've said, you know, with the mayor's response to the president's most recent letter, this mayor hates President Trump more than he loves.
Starting point is 01:15:05 the people of Portland that he's responsible to protect, not just represent, but he's the chief of police too, but intentionally in that obligation. I know you have a meeting you've got to run to. Can I get just a couple of short answers on two questions? One, the media is now claiming this is the right wing in flaming the protests, and the second is that, you know, your boss, Chad Wolf, said, we are targeting and investigating the heads of BLM and TIFA and those who fund them. Comments on both of those things. On the federal investigations running across the country,
Starting point is 01:15:49 not just Portland and Kenosha. And inevitably, those will also involve not just the occurrence of violence, but to the extent funding was required to pull it off, where that came from and what networking might be involved in it. So that's unfolding as we speak, literally hundreds of investigations involved there. nothing. Your first. The first one is the right wing is inflaming the protest. Right, right, right. This is just the latest narrative. Look, when we, when we augmented our federal forces in Portland, you heard
Starting point is 01:16:25 all the media say, oh, they cause the violence. Well, you know, that was a little ridiculous with five weeks of violence and declarations of riots before we, before we were even seen there. And Mayor Wheeler on July 3rd saying the violence has to stop. This is from, you know, the main opponent there. This is just the latest narrative, Glenn, and not one of them has survived. When we caused the violence failed, they said we made it worse. It was getting better. We made it worse. Well, we showed the data that showed it was actually getting worse before we got there. It's why we came. Every single narrative of the left, promptly propagated by the subservient mainstream media, a powerful force of the universe. And truth, not only will set you free,
Starting point is 01:17:17 but it will also accurately describe what's going on around you. Ken Cucinelli, thank you very much. Acting DHS Deputy Secretary. You can follow him on Twitter at Homeland Ken. Ken, thanks so much for being on the program. I want to tell you about Greg. He lives in Alabama. When he turned 53 last year, he thought age came up behind him
Starting point is 01:17:37 and hit him over the head with a brick. The aches and pains, the aches and pains. It's the age-old story, except he didn't feel like he was in old age yet. found himself having a hard time just getting up and down out of a chair, let alone going about his daily routine. He got desperate. Then one day, Greg was listening to the program, heard me talking about relief factor, decided, you know what, he's right. I don't have anything to lose except my pain, hopefully. After a few weeks of taking it faithfully, Greg's aches and pains melted away. He got his life back. He doesn't sit in the chair as much anymore. Relief factor,
Starting point is 01:18:14 not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and 70% of the people go on to order more, just like me, just like Greg.

Tomorrow night. Donald Trump's win was a big blow to Silicon Valley elites in 2016.
Starting point is 01:18:42 You know, let's face it, most people here, are pretty upset and pretty sad because of the election. And now, Big Tech is working overtime to influence the presidential race the way they want. Facebook, YouTube, Google. Glenn exposes the tools they're using to manipulate your vote. What? Digital Stormtroopers, how big tech will silence you and steal the election. Tomorrow night, 9 p.m. Eastern at playstiv.com slash Glenn.
Starting point is 01:19:06 This is the Glenn Beck program. You know, they saw a quote from Mother Jones about what, Joe Biden's plan was and the use of the Progressive Change Institute. And this is something that Elizabeth Warren is involved with. And they create a, quote, personnel power map of the executive branch, showing which appointed positions have the authority to enact or thwart various policy ideas. The goal is to have people throughout the government who know how to exercise power. This is something that should be terrifying to people.
Starting point is 01:19:53 because this is the shadow government kind of stuff. And they have researched which positions have that shadow power. Stu did a great monologue, what was it, last week, on how Joe Biden is no longer a moderate with what he's done, the positions of power that he's now appointed people in all around him, are thrilling the Uber left. Yeah, they want to, I mean, he is, the, the, the platform he is pushing right now is not even remotely close to a moderate platform,
Starting point is 01:20:29 even when you put it in the standards of like versus Barack Obama's presidency. He is way, way to the left of that. He's to the point of pleasing people like Bernie Sanders and all of these far left writers and intellectuals who can't believe that they're getting all these left-wing policies without having to pay the price for going so far left with the electorate. as of right now, he's seen as this moderate, and he's doing all these crazy left things. But lunch bucket Joe is really just one of the people. You're talking about middle class, Joe?
Starting point is 01:21:01 Middle class Joe. And he's just, he's not a radical. And he's only using these radicals for support. And he explicitly basically made this point yesterday in that speech when he said, look at me. Do I look like a socialist who's friendly to rioters? I mean, come on. That's his argument. Look at me.
Starting point is 01:21:20 I'm an old white guy. I'm harmless, don't worry about all these crazy policies I've announced. Don't even look at them. Just look at me. So why isn't the left all up in arms? Because they're excited about it. Yeah, but why? Look at him.
Starting point is 01:21:35 I mean, come on, man. Does he look like a socialist? It doesn't matter what he looks like. Biden's hidden radicalism. Stu takes it on in just a second. Whether you working from home or working on fitness, it doesn't matter. You want to listen to what you want to listen. to and not what your kids are listening to or somebody else is listening to.

He came out of his basement. He saw his shadow, so there's like six more weeks of summer. I don't know exactly how that works. But he wasn't afraid of his own shadow.
Starting point is 01:24:50 But apparently he is afraid of his voters because he's doing a different song and dance. Now he's got to blame the violence of Portland and Kenosha and Minneapolis. Shockingly, on President Trump. I didn't see that one coming. He had a lot to say, including, hey man, look at me. Do I look like a radical? Do I look like somebody who likes violence on the streets?
Starting point is 01:25:21 Do I look like a socialist? What are you saying, Joe, that socialists can't be white and old? That radicals can't be white and old? I've looked at history. A lot of the socialists that killed a lot of people are white and old. White and old. But he's not a radicalist. come on man we'll go through that statement with a fine-tooth comb even though there's not a lot of
Starting point is 01:25:45 hair on the top of his head next in 60 seconds this is the glenbeck program have you been thinking about moving to a different neighborhood or state come on man there's lots of reasons uh you might want to move you know during any normal time but now when there's this evil conservative prompting of riots in the streets. Come on, man. You got to get out. There's at least one good thing about this atmosphere of chaos. Low mortgage rates have pushed up the buying power 10% year over year.
Starting point is 01:26:21 The average buyer now can afford to safely spend about $3,200 more without increasing their mortgage payment. I'm asking you. I'm begging you. Please don't do it. Save that 10%. Save that 10%. Makes owning a. home unusually affordable right now, whether it's that or maybe you're looking to refinance

Does he look like a radical? Well, Bernie Sanders does look like a radical. I mean, I'm sorry. Sorry, confuse these two.
Starting point is 01:27:47 Joe Biden, come on, man. You wouldn't think it would be easy to confuse those two. But it's a lot easier than I think a lot of people recognize because people are trying to make out Biden to be this moderate. And running to the right of Bernie Sanders does not make you a moderate. Okay. Oh, is he running to the right of Bernie Sanders? I, well, he is a certainly doing that way. But he hasn't really been there. for quite some time. Yeah, I mean, look, is Biden a moderate? You know, like, if you compare him to that field, sometimes people might call him a moderate, right?
Starting point is 01:28:20 Because you had people like Bernie Sanders, like Bill de Blasio, people who, like, have embraced communism throughout their lives, are in that field. So he looks a little more conservative. You keep using that word moderate. I do not think it means what you think it means. If you're comparing him to Karl Marx, and he's like, I'm not.
Starting point is 01:28:40 fully there. That's still not a moderate. It's like saying fast and furious Tokyo Drift is a better film than too fast, too furious. Right. Now technically on Rotten Tomatoes, Tokyo Drift has 37% right and too fast too furious has 36%. Well, it might, but I don't know it's a notable distinction. Yeah, you might say that it's a better film, but it's not a good movie. It's not winning an Oscar. Right. When you say, you know that Tokyo Drift, that's pretty good. No, if you're comparing it to the others, yes, but it's not good in any other category.
Starting point is 01:29:16 What I thought was interesting is we keep saying he's not a moderate. Glenn Beck says he's not a moderate. Who cares what Glenn Beck says. He's some evil conservative guy. Right, right, right, right. What is the left saying about Joe Biden? Are they angry that he's too moderate? Right.
Starting point is 01:29:33 Is that their current position? Because they're out on the streets burning things down. Right. They don't seem moderate. No. So they've got to hate him. Right. Here we go.
Starting point is 01:29:42 This is, let me just give you a few examples. The sunrise movement. Are you familiar with the sunrise movement? I am not. I am not. Sunrise movement, a far left climate group. They are pushing for the Green New Deal. They've endorsed Bernie Sanders for president during the primary.
Starting point is 01:29:56 Rashida Taleb, Cory Bush, and Elon Omar for Congress, among others. Okay. Okay. So that's, they're moderate. Yeah. They're moderate. They were actually so pissed off at Nancy Pelosi for not being liberal enough that they organized a sit-in protest to push the Green New Deal with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Starting point is 01:30:13 Wow. Would they be pleased with a moderate? No, I don't. I don't think they would. So they don't like the ever so moderate Joe Biden. You'd think so. However, they tweeted in 2017, Bernie Sanders introduced legislation for 100% clean energy by 2050. Wow.
Starting point is 01:30:29 That Joe Biden is now backing 100% clean electricity by 2035 is a very big deal and a huge victory for the Green New Deal movement, sunrise movement, be proud, and let's keep pushing. So 2035. So he is, he's further down the road than Sanders. At least as far as electricity goes, which is pretty amazing. Well, but he's probably more science-minded so he can come up with those things faster. Sure.
Starting point is 01:30:59 Yeah, because Joe Biden screams scientific competence. He does. He really does. How about Peter Beinerd in the Atlantic? He wrote a piece entitled, Biden goes big without sounding like it. Perceived as a moderate. Wait, wait.
Starting point is 01:31:13 What is a moderate? He's perceived as a moderate. He has embraced strikingly progressive goals without facing any political backlash. I wonder why. It's a quote, despite embracing an agenda that is further to the left that of any Democratic nominee in decades, he's avoided specific policy proposals and catchphrases that Republicans find easiest to attack. As a result, he appears more centrist than he actually is. Okay, again, this is not right-winger saying this.
Starting point is 01:31:45 This is people in the mainstream and on the left. So any Democratic nominee in decades? Decades. So that would not include Barack Obama. No. Who would be more left than Barack Obama? I would have to say FDR or Woodrow Wilson. There was one suggestion I believe in here that we'll hear.
Starting point is 01:32:07 of McGovern. Was the nominee, nominee. Nominee. Yeah, he was good. He was really good. He did well in this country. He did. He did really well.
Starting point is 01:32:16 He was good. Here's something from the 538 politics podcast. What can do to push Biden to the left. However far that goes, tack on another like 50 miles to the left based on the pandemic and the need to respond to it and all its effects, right? Like we're in a moment where Republicans and Congress. Congress are debating not whether or not to take huge governmental action, but like how huge that action should be. If a Biden administration happens, you have to imagine it would happen in a context
Starting point is 01:32:52 where even by the standards of four years ago, it is taking really ambitious, leftist policy positions in response to the pandemic because the pandemic has shifted the Overton window so much, right? In a sense, we're saying that the critique that Trump has tried to launch at the Biden campaign, there's real truth to it. I guess it's got to be frustrating for them that through the strength of Biden's own image or character, people don't see him that way. By the way, I could listen to that first guy for hours. He was great. But I mean, think about that. they're admitting the attack that we're we keep saying hey is this big leftist the one they keep saying he's lying about right is true it's just true right how about paul walden in the washington post his piece how joe biden is moving left while still being seen as a moderate quote something extraordinary is happening biden is getting more progressive in substance yet it has done nothing to change his image as a moderate there's a kind of shift we expect from presidential candidates in the primaries they appeal to their party with pledges
Starting point is 01:34:03 of ideological fealty. Then when the nomination is secured, during the general election, they head back to the center. Biden, however, is doing the opposite in substance, if not in rhetoric. Jonathan Shait, New York Magazine, quote, Joe Biden's platform is more progressive
Starting point is 01:34:19 than you think. He says, the truth is that Biden has a domestic agenda that, while nowhere near as radical as the Bernie Sanders platform, is almost certainly to the left of anything even a Democratic run Congress would pass. okay so sorry let's make my eyes I hurt so bad okay so what what they're saying here is he's not a moderate he's not he's not a moderate and in fact what they're saying here is and I'm trying to figure out who's being played because perhaps you could say no he really is I know this isn't true but no he's really not meaning any of this stuff and so So now the press and the leftists in the press are covering for him.
Starting point is 01:35:09 But that's not possible because the people in the street will burn their houses down. You know what I mean? You don't dupe those people. No. And I think, you know, that critique, I think, largely makes sense in the context of a primary, right? Joe Biden's coming out with these left-wing proposals and, okay, he's pleasing the party, right? He's pleasing the activists that are voting in a primary. going back to the general election,
Starting point is 01:35:34 the fact that he's going more liberal is, is I think very well encapsulated by that 538 clip where they're saying he's seen the opportunity that COVID is providing. And he said, screw it, no need to move tack back to the center, go as far left as we can. We'll just,
Starting point is 01:35:49 we'll have moderate tone in our rhetoric. But our policies can be as left wing as we have ever dreamed they could be. So dangerous. So dangerous. Ellen Nielsen and Vox. Biden now envisions a much, larger role for government in his administration if he wins than past Democratic presidents have
Starting point is 01:36:06 been comfortable with more radical than Barack Obama would be comfortable with incredible. Another from Vox, progressive see a list of ideas that goes far beyond, goes beyond a status quo and goes beyond where Biden had campaign in the primary. That's from Faiashakir Sanders presidential campaign manager in 2020. Holy cow. And that guy is a radical of radical. He's a dangerous radical. Yeah, I would agree with that analysis.
Starting point is 01:36:35 Wow. Madaglase is in Box. It's the most progressive platform of any Democratic nominee in the modern history of the party, said Walid Shahid communications director for the Justice Democrats. Now, you remember, Glenn, the justice Democrats. They are the ones that recruited AOC to run. They are the radical left-wing AOC branch of the party. You're not saying Waleigh.
Starting point is 01:37:02 Shaheed is a radical too, are you? Oh, no, he's a moderate. He's a moderate within the Justice Democrats. Okay, okay, good. That's pretty amazing. How about Ezra Klein, founder of Vox? He writes, by the standards of the Democratic Party in 2008, the moderates look like leftists. Michael A. Cohen, he's a Obama-era Democratic speech writer.
Starting point is 01:37:23 He writes, it's precisely because Biden is seen as a pragmatic moderate and not a controversial liberal that he was able to capture the nomination. but since then, Biden has moved increasingly leftward. Washington Post, the Democratic policy community has dramatically shifted left. A new generation of economists is legitimizing ideas once considered verboten in establishment debates. I just love the word verboten. Oh, yeah. I love it especially coming from the left.
Starting point is 01:37:51 Yeah. You know, let's throw in a good, I don't know, a German kind of something that the Nazis kind of, you know, spread around the world. over in the Atlantic once again. Quote, Biden has won on a social democratic policy program that while sharing his general view of the world is significantly bolder than Barack Obama's. Here's Nate Silver from the 538 podcast. Objectively, Biden has the most left-wing platform since McGovern. Now, it is not as far left to be sure as Elizabeth Warren's platform would have been her Bernie Sanders is.
Starting point is 01:38:28 But it's pretty far left. relative to Obama's even on some issues. But people think of Biden as this kind of old, safe Uncle Joe white male, right? And so they don't see him as being radical. So, yeah, look, in some ways, the kind of Trojan horse critique is one of the smarter critiques that Trump can try. As he was talking, I was like, he's describing a Trojan horse, which didn't end well for the people of Troy. I don't know. I don't know if you got that.
Starting point is 01:39:01 No, and I think of another Uncle Joe when I think of an old white socialist. Yeah, right? His last name was Stalin. It's not good. This is not good. Mother Jones, surely they're pissed off at this moderate candidate, right? The Progressive Change Institute, an affiliate of the Warren-aligned Progressive Change Campaign Committee, has said about creating a personal power map of the executive branch showing which appointed
Starting point is 01:39:28 positions have the authority to enact or thwart various policy ideas. The goal is to have people throughout the federal government who know how to exercise power, says Stephanie Taylor at the co-founder. That is, that's saying we have mapped out the deep state. And no matter what is said or past, we know where the levers really are. That should terrify every American. They are prepared for what is about to happen. Oh, my gosh. Here's John, Fabro, a former Obama speechwriter, well known for the Pod Save America podcast. If that's where the Overton window has moved, then congratulations to all the progressive activist because you have moved the shit out of that window that is supporting the Green
Starting point is 01:40:12 New Deal and basically Medicare for All is now moderate and centrist. Fantastic. I'll take it. They're laughing about it. They're laughing at this. And the media is in on it. Obviously, it's the only reason this is working is the entire media keeps saying moderate, moderate, moderate, moderate, moderate, moderate, moderate, moderate, moderate, moderate, as he is implementing a policy program that is thrilling this group of people. In fact, including Bernie Sanders himself. You'd think surely Bernie, who ran against Joe, could not possibly be happy about this development.
Starting point is 01:40:43 Here is Bernie Sanders. If those task force proposals are implemented, you know what? Joe Biden will become the most progressive president since Franklin, Delano Roosevelt. And that at this moment is what we need. Does I remember, Franklin didn't leave and then all of those policies go away. Franklin changed fundamentally the way America worked and we never went back.
Starting point is 01:41:11 It's like Barack Obama with Obamacare. We're not going back. They're going to make it worse. So if you are building on FDR and you're coming in and you are far more progressive than anybody else, I don't know how you're described as a moderate. I'm trying to figure out how the fundamental transformation of the United States of America from a republic to a democracy, from a constitutional republic to some sort of autocratic system is moderate.
Starting point is 01:41:52 But they love it. Thanks for that, Stu. By the way, you can watch Stu every night on Stu Does America. And what are you doing tonight? We're going to do, I think we're going to do Jim Gaff again tonight. I'm fascinated because I love Jim Gaffigan. So do I. But I think there's something really important we can learn from what he did.
Starting point is 01:42:13 Oh, I'm anxious to hear that. So I think you'll like it. It's Stu Does America. Get it on YouTube. Just search for Stu. I'll be the first one there. I would also say, Glenn, if you get a Blaze TV subscription, you get all the archives of Stu does America,

You'll save 20 bucks off the subscription. All right. I'll talk to you about temp and toss. This is the first paper thermometer strip available for retail. There's no mylar. There's no battery. Everything is assembled by adults with disabilities. So getting everybody in the community is winning with this. It is a something that was developed by two moms, Shelly Heller and April Pollock. They got together, they wanted to launch their own business and create a product that would be really easy for moms to take the temperature of infants, something you didn't have to, you know, hold in their
Starting point is 01:43:07 mouth or shove in other places. And it was tempantoss. And you just, it's just like this little sticker that you just kind of stick on the forehead and it immediately tells the temperature. So now, when COVID happened, you need tools that will keep your employee safe and know that everybody doesn't have a temperature. This is, they've done some studies. This is the one that is the most accurate and the most consistent. It's called temp and toss. Now, you can get it for your, you can get it for your home. You just go to CVS or whatever and just look for tempant toss. But they also are making this available for businesses and you can buy them by bulk and save a lot of money. I want you to go and check this out, especially if you're a business and you're looking to open up and you've got a
Starting point is 01:43:54 lot of people coming in and out. It's really easy. Temp and toss. Available at Tempentoss.com slash back to work. Also major retailers. Or you can just email Shelly in April at support at tempagenics.com. That's tempogenics.com. Tempentoss.com slash back to work.
Starting point is 01:44:15 10 seconds. Station ID. Oh, yeah. So did you hear the mayor of Philadelphia was going out to eat in restaurants? Of course, in Philadelphia can't go out to eat in restaurants. How was the mayor then going out to? He just went to another place where you can. And he said, no, I just know this area is safe.
Starting point is 01:44:50 This area is safe. Oh, that's area safe from the virus? He's now cordoned off. Restaurants in his city, not safe. But he knows where the safe restaurants are. Oh, wow. We need to get in touch with this guy. Because if he can identify the safe places, we can open up the economy really easily.
Starting point is 01:45:05 Right. Also, the stars. that are attending the video music awards for MTV, they don't have to worry about the quarantine mandate. They don't? No, they don't. Why not? Why wouldn't they be? Because they're going to the video music awards.
Starting point is 01:45:18 And is there a cure? Video music awards? They just know they're going to be safe. They just know that all these people coming in from all over the world to attend the video music award. You're not going there if you have a fever, you know? So, and you couldn't be a carrier. So they're safe.
Starting point is 01:45:33 So we, the VMAs are open in New York. Glenn Beck. All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's rec tep. We made grilled ribs on Sunday, started in the morning. And, oh, my gosh. Stew would make you eat meat again, just smelling them.
Starting point is 01:45:58 We make them on rec tech. We actually got the recipe from the social media group site for rec tech. And I have to tell you, I looked at the recipe and I'm like, I don't think I want to make them this way. This does not look good. We made them with French's mustard and some rub and I thought I don't like the taste of mustard and I'm not going to put
Starting point is 01:46:21 that on, but it was explained in the recipe that it has vinegar. My wife she took charge. She said, we're doing it this way. We did. It was unbelievable. Unbelievable. When you cook on Rectec and you cook anything, you're taking your grilling and your
Starting point is 01:46:37 smoking experience to the next level. There is nothing. This thing can't do because of the smart grill technology. It's the last grill you're ever going to want to buy. Rec Tech. Check them out now. RecTech, R-E-C-T-E-Q.com. And go to blazTV.com slash Glenn. The code is Big Tech, in case you miss it a minute ago.
Starting point is 01:46:59 Big Tech is the code for 20 bucks off your Blaze subscription. Hello and welcome. This is the Glenn Beck program. Well, the president is on his way now to Wisconsin. even though the governor and the mayor is like, please don't need. He's no gum. We'll see what happens. But why is he, he's on the tarmac now, just getting ready to leave,
Starting point is 01:47:33 and I'm looking at the screen, and he's taking the 727, which is normally Air Force 2. Air Force 1 is always what the president takes, and it could be a biplane. If he's in it, it's Air Force 1. But why is he taking the 727? We've got like eight of those things that we paid for. don't tell me they're all in the shop.
Starting point is 01:47:53 Oil change. Yeah, they're having a special. So they put them all in at the same time. I don't see Donald Trump as the guy who's like, you know, well, let's take the small one. Like, give me the one with Trump on the side. Yeah. I like the little, super little one. Let's just kind of go in incognito, you know.
Starting point is 01:48:09 I think Jiffy Loob had a bulk discount this week. So they just put them all in at the same time. All the Air Force wants. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Maybe they, maybe he's landing in a smaller airport, which I can't imagine that a 727. Well, Kenosha, though.
Starting point is 01:48:21 I mean, you know, maybe, maybe, maybe. It's probably not a huge airport. All right. Let's go over Joe Biden yesterday talking about Donald Trump is just stoking the fires. That's all he's doing. He's just stoking the fires. We have that cut. Can we play that, please?
Starting point is 01:48:41 In times, as challenging as these. I believe there's only one way forward. Okay, stop. No, this one. I want the stoking the fires from yesterday's speech if we have it. Biden blames Trump for the violence. Do you have that? That's on page one. Trump and Pence are running on this, and I find it fascinating.
Starting point is 01:49:02 You won't be safe in Joe Biden's America. And what's their proof? The violence were seen in Donald Trump's America. These are not images of some imagined Joe Biden America in the future. These are images of Donald Trump's America today. stop. This is no, but Joe, you're missing that this is the Joe Biden administration of the past. You know, when you were in, when you were in with Barack Obama, you remember Ferguson?
Starting point is 01:49:33 Yeah, because you're responsible now for every single thing that happens in the country as president. Right. Even when it's the opposing party running the city and doing the opposite of what you're asking, you're still responsible for it. He can't stop it unless he goes against the Constitution. Right. And he's offering federal help. to all of these cities and they're not taking it.
Starting point is 01:49:53 Right. He can't just force help on those cities. No, should he? It would be a dictatorship. No, you don't want that. It's not our system. Correct. It is a federalist system, which means the state overrules the Fed when it comes to this. You cannot say, no, we don't want troops in here as a governor and have the government send in troops.
Starting point is 01:50:16 It's against the Constitution. And for all the accusations of Trump being this dictator. Yeah, I know. This would be the time. I mean, there's been times where the American people have been begging for your descend in federal help. And he hasn't done it because, you know, we have a system of government. He's respecting. So this was the message that they gave during the convention, the DNC.
Starting point is 01:50:36 They never once talked about the violence getting out of control. They never once talked about anything about the protest other than it's peaceful. But never once did they condemn it. and then when they started to see the polls with people turning, then they decided we have to change. But I just want to remind you, first of all, this is how stupid they think their own voters are,
Starting point is 01:51:02 that their own voters will buy into this. After months and months and months of hearing how peaceful this was and everything else, that we're supposed to now believe that somehow or another, you were for peace and you haven't caused any turmoil at all or supported turmoil. I want you to listen first of what Joe Biden said that he's just, they're uniters and they want to bring everybody together. Is that really the message that they've been doing in their actions? Listen. As challenging is these.
Starting point is 01:51:36 I believe there's only one way forward as united America, a united America, united in our pursuit of a more perfect union. You could put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of the. deplorables. You can't trust this president do what's right for this country. He's impeached forever, no matter what he says, or whatever headlines he wants to carry around. You're impeached forever. We have a president who does not believe in democracy.
Starting point is 01:52:06 I believe in a republic. A president who does not believe in our constitution. He is someone who empowers white supremacist. So he's a white supremacist. And who condones their behavior. And an attempt to disfirmat. dismantle our postal service out of a selfish desire. If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump and you ain't black.
Starting point is 01:52:30 Whoa. Now remember, these are the people that are fully behind things like here's one of the college directors from the, she's a staff psychologist at Pacific University. and she has a webinar rising from the margins. And in it, she says, every white person in the country is racist. So you want to unite except for all the white people. That's that's that's that's that's Wallace, man.
Starting point is 01:53:05 That's come on, man. That's Wallace, except you've just replaced black with white. It's the same kind of rhetoric that we have. had from the racist Democrats in the 1960s that were not, that was not uniting, not uniting. So all last week they were saying, we've got to unite, we've got to unite, we've got to unite, we've got to unite, and dismissing the riots as peaceful. Now the poll numbers come out and now they have to say, oh, no, no, no, no, but no, no, no, it's, no,
Starting point is 01:53:38 we're against those things. It's, it's, it's, it's Trump just stirring those things up. That's, that's, that's, that's what's happening here. they, it's Trump. Listen. I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all of the country. Maybe there will be. People need to start taking to the streets.
Starting point is 01:54:00 This is a dictator. You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives. Enemies of the state. Show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful. Wait a minute. Do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless. They go low. We kick.
Starting point is 01:54:17 How do you resist? This is the temptation to run up and ring her neck. Biggest terror threat in this country is white men. Most of them radicalized up to the right. I thought he should have punished him in the face. Even if you lost, he insulted your wife. He came down the escalator and called Mexicans, rapists, and murders. He said, well, what do you think I should have done?
Starting point is 01:54:34 So I think you should have punched him in the face and then gotten out of the race. You would have been a hero. I'd like to punch him in the face. I said, if we were in high school, I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him. Punch some people in the face. When was the last time an actor is. assassinated the president. They're still gonna have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump, and that's a fact.
Starting point is 01:54:53 Look as his character is stabbed to death. Where is John Wilkes booth when you need him? Oh. That's it right there. I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. A Missouri State Senator is under investigation by the Secret Service after saying she hopes President Trump is assassinated. is assassinated. I will go and take Trump out tonight. And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd.
Starting point is 01:55:34 Welcome. And sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system and are honoring our Constitution are right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They're not going to stop before election day, no way. November and they're not going to stop after election day. And that should be, everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't, they're not going to let up and they should not. If you think we're rallying and now, you ain't saying nothing yet. So who is it that's been stirring people up? And I have to tell you, the good news is they're only having to do this because the Tea Party
Starting point is 01:56:18 and the right have been so careful to be peaceful. that they if we wouldn't have been peaceful they just would have responded and they are better at riots and burning things down. And it would have been blamed on us. But because for the last 15 years, we have been patient and quiet and peaceful and we brought our kids to rallies, not Molotov cocktails. They've had to ramp their side up. They've had to spend millions of dollars helping them. And you know what? It's absolutely right.
Starting point is 01:57:01 What Martin Luther King said is right. What the progressives knew in the early 1900s was right. Omar Wazzo, he was a guy who studied the historic impacts of peaceful. protests by the left. And if there's peaceful protests by the left, like Martin Luther King, it will help Democrats by 2 to 3%. But violent pro-democrat demonstrations help Republicans 2 to 8%. Now, this should actually play even a bigger role because now we can see, not just
Starting point is 01:57:45 what people are feeding us, we can see on social media exactly what's going to. going on and we can judge for ourselves. They are expecting that you don't know the truth. And the media is taking such a hard line because they haven't learned a damn thing. They still think that they control the minds of people. And quite honestly, if we are not careful, the new media will control the minds of people. You know, the Russians did make an effort to hack our election. And it is child's play, what they did compared to the digital interference from our own tech giants.
Starting point is 01:58:29 Surveillance, censorship, manipulation. These are the tools that Russia wished they had. And all three of them are well underway at Facebook and Google. Let's not forget that on the day after the election, the Google people stood together and they cried and said, we have to find ways to not let this happen again. Well, they have found ways. The left is trying to pretend that the rioting in our city is not their fault. They're trying to paint BLM, not as a Marxist, insurrectionist, revolutionary movement that it is,
Starting point is 01:59:07 but a mostly peaceful group of just protesters. And the left has tapped their most powerful ally to pull the wool over your eyes. you don't know that big tech is manipulating you. Over the weekend, Twitter post showed how a person started typing BLM is into the search bar. It auto-filled multiple suggestions like BLM is a Marxist organization. BLM is Marxist trained. BLM is Marxist movement.
Starting point is 01:59:38 BLM is funded by and several others. But just a little while later, all of those disappeared. Now go to your computer and type in BLM is. BLM is Israel. Really? BLM Israel? Google controls 90% of the internet searches in most of the world. You have to see our special tomorrow night.

So anyone who tells you that buying or selling a house isn't a team effort doesn't have any idea of what they're doing about buying or selling a house, period.
Starting point is 02:00:46 It's one of the things that I learned over years of working with some of the best real estate agents in the country. country on a project that they were doing and I was a spokesperson for when you get somebody who can come to your house and you're wanting to put up on the market look around see if he can pull five numbers out of his or her phone and say okay this is what we're going to do and here are the people you should call to do it when that person has the numbers of somebody that can refinish your floors or repaint or you know replant or whatever it is if they can't do it you have have a regular run of the mill. But if they have numbers at their fingertips that they've used before and they know they can get this thing done quickly, you've got something special. When you're
Starting point is 02:01:31 trying to buy a home, you have to have an agent who can go into the lion's den with the sellers in the bank and can negotiate aggressively to get the best deal possible. That's when you know you have somebody special on the buying end. The real estate agents from real estate agents I trust are something special. I don't want you to take my word for it. I want you to interview yourself real estate agents i trust dot com real estate agents i trust dot com free service to you're listening to glenbeck program uh we're just talking off air stew is doing a uh show tonight on taking on jim gaffigan who we both really like and we like personally as well oh yeah um and we know him and I just don't know what he's doing other than feeling better maybe personally,
Starting point is 02:02:32 getting things off his chest and saying things he wants to, but it's not going to, it's not going to help him. Of course he has the right to do that. Of course he does. Of course he does. But, you know, the question is if your actual goal is not to make yourself feel good, but instead to influence people to an issue or an opinion you believe to be important,
Starting point is 02:02:52 it's clear that this doesn't. work. This approach of screaming at your audience with obscenities is not something that actually affects anyone. No one is pushed to your side. Now, they may be more ingrained in their own side. A Trump supporter might see a rant by Jim Gaffigan where he's calling them basically effing morons. They may see that as a place, as a reason to be like more defensive of Trump and more defensive of their position. But they're certainly not going to be less. They're certainly not going to go to your side of the argument. They're not going to see the light because you're yelling at them.
Starting point is 02:03:25 No. This does not work. And especially somebody like Gaffigan. If Gaffigan would have just been like, like he's always been, look, I disagree with you, but it's a free country. And then just calmly said, I don't agree with him. I worry about Donald Trump. He could have made inroads.
Starting point is 02:03:44 I mean, I'm glad he didn't, but he could have made inroads, especially if he was funny about it. Yep. And self-deprecating. But, and I know this from experience. the minute you get onto your high horse and you start saying, you're wrong, you're stupid, you lose, you lose. And I hate to see Jim Gaffigan hurt himself like this for no reason whatsoever.
