um it is something that is less lethal. We have it at our house. My wife carries one. She has it in the car. I have one in the car. Situations do exist where you don't want to kill somebody, but you've got to get out of that situation. Powerful deterrence like tear gas, not pepper spray, tear gas and kinetic rounds. And they will incapacitate somebody for up to 40 minutes. Government agencies, police are now replacing the tasers and everything else with this. Burn a B.Y. rn a dot com slash glen burna dot com slash glen for an exclusive 10% discount that's b yrn a dot com slash glen do it now heavy on the enlightenment since we went heavy on the entertainment yesterday uh welcome to the program i'm going to give you uh five five points that you need to understand uh and it will give you a capsule of

what we've experienced in the last 24 hours. Ali Best Stuckey is with me. Liz Wheeler is with me. Who else is joining? Jill Savage is joining. We have, what's his name? Dinesh D'Souza going to be on. We have a packed show.

I just want to hear all the different voices of what people thought of the debate the last night. In 60 seconds, I'll give you my quick opinion on that. Today is the day that you could make an important decision You could keep your current cell phone plan, you know, the one where you shell out big money every month, the big mobile corporations donating to leftist causes that are destroying our country, or you switch to Patriot Mobile, who will charge way less, they share your values, and they're fighting for the Constitution. Choice is really pretty simple. I'm a huge fan of Patriot Mobile, of the things they are doing. I actually got a cell phone just because I want to use their service. Patriot Mobile shares your values, won't say.

your hard-earned money to aid in the destruction of America. You're going to get the same nationwide service, all while supporting a company that loves America, loves God, supports our police. Switching is easy right now. When you make the switch to Patriot Mobile, you'll get a whole month for free. They're America's only Christian conservative mobile company,

and their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and glorify God always. It's patriotmobile.com slash Beck. Why haven't you joined yet? 972 Patriot. Free month of service, if you joined today, Patriotmobil.com slash back 972 Patriot. All right. Let me give you a couple of things that are going on. It happened in the last 24 hours. And we're going to get to Ali Beth Stucky in just a second. First, Israel.

Israel was hit yesterday by ballistic missiles. Miraculously, I don't think anybody. was killed. That is a miracle. They wiped out a lot of F-35s. Israel is going to respond. The question is, and the thing to look for is if Iran responds and shuts down the two straits where we get our oil from. If they disrupt the flow of oil, we will get deeply involved in that. Other than that, I hope we stay on the sidelines and we just support Israel and give them what they need, but let them take care of business. We don't need another war. The labor strike we talked about yesterday at the ports, it's day number two, and they have

doubled down. And the president gave it his reason for not getting involved. He doesn't think the president should have been involved in union disputes right now, and he doesn't want to tell them to go back to work either. Translation, he doesn't want to lose the union vote, but he could lose a lot of other votes. By the way, 90% of our meds come from these ports. So look out. By the way, if you went to Costco yesterday, it was packed, just packed. So the debate last night, the debate, my view on this, the best vice presidential candidate I have ever seen in my lifetime. I don't think there's

been a better vice presidential candidate. Trump is not going to. Trump is not going to thwart the Constitution and just say, I'm going to be a king and a dictator forever. How do I know that? Did you see that vice presidential candidate? He picked a successor. He picked someone who can carry on after him. Second thing I learned, Tim Walts apparently wasn't at Tiananmen Square and didn't happen. Didn't happen.

But he's a knucklehead and everybody knows him. You know, he's fine. Now, the final point on the debate last night, I don't think it changes any minds. But if you did watch the debate and you were hesitant on Donald Trump, you don't like the Democrats. You're an independent. And you just, I think personally, I think J.D. Vance made people comfortable that there's an adult in the room. and you can vote for Donald Trump. That's what I think, if it changed any minds at all.

But I want to talk to, I want to talk to Ali Bass Stuckey because Ali was watching it last night, and I didn't get a chance to hear your comments last night after the debate, Allie. And if, I mean, you're a woman, if you're a woman and you hadn't decided, how were you watching that, and how did that play to women?

do you think? If I were a woman who hadn't decided, I probably would be seeing how much J.D. Vance turned me off and made me mad. I think they already are probably leaning towards Harris, and they probably already have a critical eye towards J.D. Vance just because of the childless cat lady stuff and some of the misinformation they've heard from the media. And I think he at the very least did not turn that suburban woman mom off of voting Donald Trump. He had a really good mixture of aggression when he needed to, but also softness and compassion. I think the way that he effortlessly weaved his personal story, his background with his policy prescriptions, was really good. I wasn't sure if anyone could pull that off. That's really hard to do, and he did it really well.

So this morning, I got up early and I was watching a focus group. And this focus group, the women were saying that they didn't like that he was demonizing illegal immigrants. Oh, gosh. I know. I know. I know. Yeah, that is, I mean, that's that toxic empathy that I talk about that tool of manipulation that progressives use to convince women, even Christian women, that the more compassionate and righteous side of an issue is the progressive one, they hoist up the victim, they blind you to everyone else involved in the immigration debate, the people actually being negatively impacted by illegal immigration, and they make you feel that you are standing up for the most vulnerable for the marginalized if you vote for Democrats. They don't

have to think about how it just feels good. It is toxic. empathy, it's misplaced mothering. I understand. I understand where that's coming from, but unfortunately, that leads us to a very dangerous place. So, Allie, I have not read your book, and I am going to get a copy of your book and read it. Of course. We were talking last night about it. For anybody who doesn't know about this, can you just explain what your book is about toxic empathy? Yeah, it's out October 15th. It's called Toxic Empathy, How Progressive Exploits Exploit Christian Compassion. We go through in five chapters, the five subjects that I see them doing the most, this the most on. It's abortion, it's gender, it's sexuality slash the definition of marriage, it's immigration and

social justice. And so what they'll do is hoist up a particular victim, for example, the woman who fled Colombian gang violence is here illegally, but she's raised her family here. She is terrified of the specter of the Donald Trump presidency because she fears that she's going to be deported and leave her small children here. That's the only story that these women many times are hearing about immigration. And if that's the only story that you are hearing, you believe that it is your obligation via the empathy that you have for this woman that, say, NPR just told you about

to vote against the president that this woman is scared of. But what we do in the book is that we zoom out and we say, okay, but who is affected on the other side of this issue? and we look at the competing anecdotes. We look at Lake and Riley. We look at Molly Tibbitt. We look at Kate Steinley. And we say at the end of the day, there are victims on both sides of this.

You could say there are people that you can feel for on both sides of this, but Christians are not to be primarily led by our feelings. We can compete with anecdotes all day. We're to be led by the truth. The truth in love approach is the wiser approach. It is the more beneficial approach to people on both sides of the issue, but it takes a little more effort, a little more thought to see what is factually and biblically true. So we do that on all of these controversial subjects.

People are going to feel so equipped to have these tough conversations after they read it. How do you address abortion and how do you think J.D. Vance did on abortion? It drove me out of my mind that Walsh was saying, no, we're not for nine months. Yes, you are. Yes, you are. I mean, babies have died in Minnesota. because they let them die if they weren't killed in the abortion. It is horrific. How do you think that was dealt with last night?

You know, I think he could have pushed, I think he could have pushed harder on that. I think J.D. Vance overall did a good job. I thought his weakest moment was on abortion. And I understand it that for Republicans, they feel like it's scary. It's a sticky subject and they don't want to be really strong on it. I didn't really understand what J.D. Vance was even saying about

Republicans winning back trust, yada, yada, I don't know. I would have pivoted harder. If you don't want to answer the question, pivot harder to abortion extremism. He is the first one that I've heard bring up the facts that Kamala Harris as senator voted against the Born Alive Infant Survivors Protection Act in 2019, written by Ben Staff, that just said, you've got to provide these babies who survive abortions health care. She voted no on that. So she and Tim Walz are right in line with believing that babies who are born alive deserve to die.

That's infanticide. That's like Roman Empire exposure, leaving your babies to die in the wilderness kind of pagan stuff right there. So I think he could have pivoted a little bit harder to that. Allie, thank you so much. You can watch Allie on the Blaze, Blaze TV. She's the host of Relatable. I'm telling you she is a up-and-coming conservative. superstar. Get on the relatable train with

Ali Beth Stucky. She's amazing. We have a ton of amazing women now. I think we have the strongest stable of women in... Can we put them in binders? Yeah. We have binders of women here at the place. Binders of women. Yes. Yes. And a stable, I meant we keep them in a stable. Yeah. But anyway, I think we have the best women on the air. We've got four or five of them that are just amazing. I only have time to talk to three of them today.

But anyway, we're going to get to Liz Wheeler here in just a second. Let me take a one minute break, relief factor. Are you living the life you want to live? Are you doing the things you want to do? If you're not, is it because of pain? I know from personal experience, I mean, Stu, did you ever think that I, because I didn't, did you ever think I would be like I am today? Is this beyond I'm getting back into shape?

I'm, I feel good. I don't feel old anymore. I mean, you're doing well. I mean, people who only listen to the radio don't see. You've lost quite a bit of weight. Yeah. I would say. And feeling really good.

Feeling really good. Yeah. I gave up. I really did. I gave up. My first step coming back is getting rid of the pain. Stop masking your pain. Start fighting back naturally.

How are you? Hi, Glenn. Hi, Sue. Hey, Liz. You know, I am so grateful. Last night, we came very, very clear. The very smart, strong conservative women are outnumbering the men here. And it is so great to watch.

It is so great to watch. I'm so glad that you're part of Blaze TV. So what did you think? Thank you. Me too. What did you think last night? Oh, that's the kind of debate I like to watch. That was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.

That caused me a lot less stressed than the last one. Let's just say that. Yeah. Dadey Vance performed masterfully. He started off stronger than he ended, I thought. But overall, no question that he won the debate. He did something during the debate that I've advised him to do, and I thought he did it very well. And that is he treated Tim Walts like no one's going to remember Tim Walts in four years, which hopefully will be true.

And what I mean by this is if you think about Hillary Clinton versus Donald Trump, we are all for the rest of our lives going to remember that campaign. It was a campaign of epic proportions. Yes, how many of us can actually picture the face? of Hillary Clinton's running mate, Tim Cain. Not very many of it. No one knows him. I can't.

I can't. I heard you say this last night. But I can't, like, remember his face. He's just, like, generic blob. I couldn't even remember his name. I didn't even remember his name when you were saying that. I'm like, God, who was that? It's crazy.

Well, that was my advice to J.D. Vance. It's treat Tim Walz. Like, no one's going to remember him. Don't make it a J.D. Vance versus Tim Wal's debate. Make it a Trump campaign versus his Kamala Harris campaign event and do that by just using Tim Walls as a punching bag in a sense. Just punch him and pivot right to Kamala Harris' policies. Just use them as your stepping stone, use them as a tool and highlight those policies.

This is what J.D. Vance is best at. This is one of the reasons why the Trump campaign picked him to do opposition interviews because he does them brilliantly well. And he highlighted the three things that I thought independent voters, anybody who's still undecided about who they're going to cast their ballot for, wanted to hear about the economy. He highlighted that. Inflation, he highlighted that. Immigration, he highlighted that. These are really important topics that people, that people care the most about. And he really very well made the case against Kamala Harris using Kim Walls that Donald Trump is a better choice on those, on those topics.

So I was very happy with how he did. I did think he faltered a little bit on the abortion question. I personally am more pro-life than Donald Trump. So that wasn't. a misstep in the campaign, or a misstep in J.D. Vance's performance so much as I think a miscalculation of their campaign strategy. But Tim Walls was a blustering idiot. I mean, he was embarrassing. I don't know that anybody could watch that and think, well, there's someone I want to lead the country. So help me out on this. You know, there's like 3% evangelicals that are sitting out because they're saying, you know, I want somebody who's absolutely pro-life. and we talked about this a little bit during the debate or right after the debate, that, you know, we are dealing with somebody who is so pro-abortion, so pro-death that it's almost bloodthirsty, where you will vote against the Born Alive Act. I mean, that's craziness.

How do you convince people who are saying, that's my one issue, that they know. need to vote for somebody who might be not as pro-life as they are? Well, it's my one issue, too. So I'm very empathetic to how they're feeling. I'm not going to dismiss that as being ridiculous. No. But I also think it's our moral imperative as pro-lifers and as Christian to vote for Donald Trump. And I know that that's a very strong statement to make to tell someone if they're

moral imperative to vote for a certain political candidate. And I will tell you why. I am more pro-life than Donald Trump. I am. But we also know exactly how. Donald Trump will govern when he is in the Oval Office when it comes to issues of life. He has a proven record of appointing pro-life justices to the point that they overturned Roe v. Wade, something that no president had been able to do since the Supreme Court handed down that

terrible grisly ruling. He also took taxpayer-funded money away from abortions, whether that was taking it away from Medicaid money or taking our taxpayer money away from funding abortions overseas through the Mexico City policy. This is a guy who actually admirably wasn't pro-life and it's had a conversion to a certain extent. And that's a good thing. That's what we want people who are pro-abortion to do. We want them to convert into pro-life people. When it comes to casting your vote, I think if you have voted for any Republican candidate ever in your life, then you have voted for someone who is not absolutist on pro-life issues. I mean, Mitt Romney wasn't absolutist. John McCain wasn't absolutist. George Bush wasn't absolutist. Even Ronald Reagan wasn't

absolutist. So if for some reason you're applying a different standard to Donald Trump and J.D. Bantz, you should consider why you're applying a different standard. As a Christian myself, not just a conservative, I look at every vote I cast as a lesser of two evils. It is my responsibility to protect the value and the dignity of every human life to the best of my ability. And if there's a candidate who is going to desecrate human life at 10 out of 10, and that candidate is running against another candidate who is going to desecrate life

only at a 4 out of 10, meaning he's going to protect life a 6 out of 10, that to me is a very obvious choice. I will always use my voice to push Donald Trump to be more pro-life than he is. And it's effective to use your voice to do that. But at the same time, if we can save millions of lives by voting for Donald Trump just because he's not as pro-life as we are, that is no reason not to vote for him and every reason to vote for him. And that's the case that I would make to Christians and conservatives who are disappointed

or even disgusted by the Trump campaign not being as pro-life as we are. I only have two minutes. want to go the opposite direction. You're talking or you have somebody in your family, a woman who is, you know, against Donald Trump, but you know if they actually knew the facts, they would not. If you had to send one clip of the debate last night, what would it be? It would be the clip about immigration. I think that that's an issue that women care about a lot, that they don't always vocalize that they care about a lot, because it's a physical threat to women and to children and to our communities, to our schools, to our health care.

I mean, hospitals are being overrun right now by illegal aliens. There are illegal aliens that are raping and murdering children and teenage girls. This is, our schools are full of non-English speaking students, which causes English-speaking students, our children to be less well-served by these schools. This is something that's a serious threat. And I thought JD-Bant handled that very, very well, highlighting exactly what Kamala Harris has done to not only encourage and allow, but invite. the border crisis. And I think that that's a clip that the Trump campaign would do well to highlight,

because I think that that is a, that's a mind-changing issue for people who are not sure how they're going to cast their ballot. Right. Thank you very much. I appreciate it, Liz. Great to talk to you. Liz Wheeler. Another host from Blaze TV, the Liz Wheeler show, and also the author of a book, Hide Your Children. All right. When we come back, we're going to continue. the conversation. The reason why I asked Liz that last question was it's not up to the Trump campaign. It is up to us. And I want to try to equip you with some things that you can send out to those loved ones, those family members, that think differently, but are not hardcore. They are open to some reason and they just need a little push. We'll continue that over the next few weeks.

We have Jill Savage with us now. She is the host of Blaze News Tonight, which airs every night, seven central, eight Eastern. And welcome to the program. How are you? I am doing great. I'm doing great because we don't have to go through and say, oh, how did it go last night? Was it good? Was it bad?

No. Everybody on the right that watched that. Everybody that is a normie, Glenn, that watched that is like, wait, this J.D. Vance guy. They're trying to tell me he's weird. They're trying to tell me he's out there and crazy. this guy looks pretty normal. And you know what we get from that? The media, of course, anytime he's going to have a sit-down interview,

of course they're going to try and frame it as whatever they can to make the right not in a good, glowing image. Well, they worked hard at that last night. But with live debates, with live television, you can cut right through and speak directly to the American people without anyone interfering. And he shined so bright on that stage last night. Yes, he did.

the moment for you? The moment for me was when J.D. Vance came out, his opening remarks and he hit it later with the economy stuff. But he brought back the American dream. Glenn, on this show, on any show that we're looking at over the last weekend, there's so much doom and gloom out there in the world right now. I don't know what you're talking about. Right? We could have potential World War III inflation. The port strikes.

What's going on? People don't need to be reminded about how bad. That it is, I, listen, I love the show you've been listening to the show for a long time. I love the show. I am one who wants the doom and gloom tell me. She actually started watching when we were doing headline news at CNN. She was the one that watched that. Oh, wow.

She was the one to watch that, yeah. But I look at it and say, okay, people are living their lives. It's hard enough as it is. And J.D. Vance went out on that stage multiple times last night and said, it's okay to still have the American dream. That, to me, is so important because we see poll after. or poll with millennials, with Gen Ziers. And they say, you know what, I don't think that my life, my quality of life is going to surpass that that my parents had. Whether it's true or not, that's what they believe right now. And you need somebody to come back and say, no, it is still

possible to live the American dream. So I want to play that clip here in a second. But, you know, J.D. Vance, if I hear one more person say, you know, I grew up in a middle class, first of all, that's great. If you grew up in a middle class and you're now in upper class, fantastic. That's the story of America. But J.D. Vance came out and said, you know, I grew up in a middle class. I don't think he did. He did not. He grew up in the lowest of lower classes. I mean, his mom was addicted to heroin. I mean, he had a horrid, horrid upbringing. He's underselling his story, which is hard to do. And they made the movie about it again. Go watch it this weekend.

on Netflix, Hillbilly Elgy. But when you look at what he was able to overcome from that childhood, and then Tim Walz is out there making fun of J.D. Vance for, oh, he went to Yale. Okay. At what point are the leftists the one that are making fun of the Ivy League colleges? That's weird in and of itself. But the fact that J.D. Vance could stand there on stage at the RNC and say, my mom had struggled with addiction.

And you know what? if I get into the White House along with Donald Trump, she will have her 10-year sober chip, and we'll have that party in the White House. That story is incredible. And that's why the media will hate him even more. So listen to his opening statement. This is what Jill was talking about of hope. Listen to this. I want to answer the question, but I want to actually give an introduction to myself a little bit because I recognize a lot of Americans don't know who either one of us are. I was raised in a working-class family. My mother required food assistance for periods of her life. my grandmother required Social Security help to raise me, and she raised me in part because my own

mother struggled with addiction for a big chunk of my early life. I went to college on the GI Bill after I enlisted in the Marine Corps and served in Iraq. And so I stand here asking to be your vice president with extraordinary gratitude for this country, for the American dream that made it possible for me to live my dreams. And most importantly, I know that a lot of you are worried about the chaos in the world and the feeling that the American dream is unattainable. I want to try to convince you tonight over the next 90 minutes that if we get better leadership in the White House, if we get Donald Trump back in the White House, the American dream is going to be attainable once again.

This is one of the reasons why I said he is the best vice president candidate of my lifetime. I can't think of anybody who's even in the category of this guy. He walks on stage. This is the first time Americans have seen him, many Americans. have seen him and seen him in a presidential debate. He could be president tomorrow. You know, in 2028, assuming we still have elections, in 28, Ron DeSantis will have a run for his money because this guy is really solid.

Absolutely. And he came out like a professor, right? What did he do last night in his opening statement? Here's what I'm going to tell you. We're going to learn. Here's what we're learning in the middle and then at the end, wrapping it back up. Here's what we can do as a country. He knows how to frame a message.

And oh my gosh, you guys, on the right, please, can we have more of that? Ron DeSantis is very good at it. J.D. Vance is very good at it. It feels like the politicians, though, they forget that when they get on stage. All the messaging goes out the window and they're in front of the media. We need to clearly articulate our values, our principles, because we have the winning message. The masks are off. They are telling you on the left that they are flat out demonic.

It's not a hard game to play right now. This should be the easiest one to go through in message. It is a battle of good versus evil. And we're on the winning side. So, you know, I agree with you that this is a battle of good versus evil. evil. But I don't think we get anywhere by calling, and I'm not saying you did this, by calling Kamala evil or whatever. I think it is a bloodlust that comes from evil. But I actually think these people really think they're right. It's a funny line you just drew there. Like, I don't call him

evil, but it is from a bloodlust that it results in evil. No, but it's, I get what you're saying. It is, I'm not saying that it is a, I'm not saying that they are knowingly doing this. They have, they have built this bloodlust up thinking they're doing the right thing and not recognizing you might be in the service of the wrong guy. It's that, and it's that Nazi and that famous skaters like, are we the baddies? Yeah, like it's that type of thing at this point. I mean, when you're sitting on stage arguing about the benefits of ending the lives of 63. million children. That's their, we should all note, that's their good polling argument.

Yeah. It's not just their fault. The fact that that is the argument that works in the polls to the point that our party is seemingly halfway running away from it is despicable in every way. I think the reason why so many conservatives have changed is because they demonized us. They called us Nazis. And so when somebody calls you a Nazi and a racist, if you're a thinking human being,

you do a little inventory on yourself. What am I saying that is like that? And then you understand, well, no, I'm not. And here's why, yada, yada, yada. They haven't done that. They have not been pushed in any of their positions. So they just keep sliding lower and lower and lower.

And you can't defend it. That's why she's not doing any interviews. That's why Walls, this, alas, you'll see of him doing any interviews or anything else, because they've never been pushed so they can't, they don't know how to defend it. Absolutely. And it showed on stage last night that Tim Walls has done one interview with Kamala Harris. And it was a very powder puff CNN sit down interview. And J.D. Vance has been thrown out there.

And you take all the press that you can. If it's on a tarmac, if it's a sit-down interview, we don't care. We're going to push him out in front of the American. and people and you are going to clearly articulate our vision. But the leftists, they have. They've gone so far down the rap. You just look at it and you say, where do they even start to come back from this and get them back in the center? I think that it's too far gone for the leftists that are truly believing that the abortion is the number one issue. And they will not budge from that. So what do you do with the rest of America, the normies that are still out there that still say, you know what,

I don't think that that's exactly the way that I want to go. Well, I think J.D. Vance articulated that in a very clear, decisive manner last night. So you're sending a text to a friend and you have one clip to pick. You would pick the opening statement? The opening statement, yeah, and just the fact that he would come back and talk about the American dream a couple different times in that debate, because people need to. to feel that there is still some hope out there. They can't go about living their days with the doom and gloom that is hanging over their head.

That's going to be there anyway. We need somebody that is inspirational that can say we can get through this and get out of this and end up better on the other side. Let me just end this. Thank you. Thank you so much, Jill. Let me just end this segment with his closing statement, which is bookend. the entire debate.

Senator Vance, your closing statement. Well, I want to thank Governor Walts, you folks at CBS and, of course, the American people for tuning in this evening. And one of the issues we didn't talk about was energy. And I remember when I was being raised by my grandmother, when she didn't have enough money to turn on the heat some nights because Ohio gets pretty cold at night and because money was often very tight. And I believe, as a person who wants to be your next vice president, that we are a rich

and prosperous enough country where every American. whether they're rich or poor ought to be able to turn on their heat in the middle of a cold winter night. That's gotten more difficult, thanks to Kamala Harris's energy policies. I believe that whether you're rich or poor, you ought to be able to afford a nice meal for your family. That's gotten harder because of Kamala Harris's policies. I believe that whether you're rich or poor, you ought to be able to afford to buy a house. You ought to be able to live in safe neighborhoods. You ought to not have your communities flooded with fentanyl, and that too has gotten harder because of Kamala Harris's policies.

Now, I've been in politics long enough to do what Kamala Harris does when she stands before the American people and says that on day one, she's going to work on all these challenges I just listed. She's been the vice president for three and a half years. Day one was 1,400 days ago, and her policies have made these problems worse. Now, I believe that we have the most beautiful country in the world. I meet people on the campaign trail who can't afford food, but have the grace and generosity. to ask me how I'm doing and to tell me they're praying for my family. What that has taught me is that we have the greatest country, the most beautiful country, the most incredible people anywhere in the world. But they're not going to be able to achieve their full dreams with the broken leadership that we have in Washington. They're not going to be able to live their American dream if we do the same thing that we've been doing for the last three and a half years.

We need change. We need a new direction. We need a president who has already done this once before and did it well. please vote for Donald Trump. And whether you vote for me or vote for Tim Walz, I just want to say, I'm so proud to be doing this, and I'm rooting for you. God bless you and good night.

I make both those clips. I'd like to turn that into one clip, and we'll post that so you can send that out. I'll tweet it. You've got to send that to your friends. Donald Trump, 2024. J.D. Vance, 2028. All right, let me tell you about Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

NYPD officer Jonathan Dillers' tragic and shocking story made. national headlines. During a traffic stop, Jonathan was shot and killed by a career criminal. I wonder if it was a Soros DA that led him out. This was his line of duty death, and it was the first line of duty death for the NYPD in two years. Throughout his three years of service, Jonathan made more than 70 arrests, awarded as having an excellent and meritorious police duty on several occasions. He was 31 years old. He left behind a wife and his one-year-old son, Ryan. and Ryan's brothers and sisters in the New York police department family. At the funeral, Stephanie called Jonathan's death devastating and senseless,

but said my husband died a hero, but he also lived as one. These are fallen heroes, and their families need help. Their families need to be held up. And our federal government is worthless right now in recognizing who should be held up. Help heroes like Jonathan and their families. Donate $11 a month to tunnel to towers at T2T.org.

The vice presidential debate was last night. And you saw that conversation about the economy happened over and over and over again, the idea of inflation and all these things that are going on. And you realize that you have to have a good financial plan going forward. You have to plan for disorder when it comes to the economy. How do you do that?

Well, you need a really good financial advisor. But if you just take any financial advisor, it's possible you could get good returns. It's possible. But why not get those good returns anyway? and have the investments you're making support your belief system, support your values. You can have both here. This is not a one or the other type of thing. And, you know, if you have opposition to things like woke companies, don't support them

with your investment dollars. You don't support them with your dollars in the store. Don't support them with your investment dollars. Get the Constitution wealth.

You know, I don't like to take credit for that. It was more the women that were on. I mean, name the strong women conservative leaders that are young and relatable different. Liz Cheney. Okay. Yeah. See, see what I mean? I mean, the women we have on here, I mean, I'm telling you, Allie is a superstar.

An absolute superstar. She's great. She's going to go on to do many, many big things, I think. And I can't wait to read her book, Toxic Masculinity. She's toxic Empathy. Yeah, Toxic Empathy. It would be a weird title for her toxic masculinity. Oh, yeah, sorry.

First of all, she's great at naming books. I've told her this more. She's really good at coming up with titles. Toxic Empathy is a great concept. She's really, I think, to, this election is right around the corner. what is done in this election is done. We've talked about it many, many times. But Ali's the type of person I think is really, really important for, for example, the life issue going forward. We have to find a way to not only message that issue successfully, but also to message it and approach it in a way that politicians will embrace it. If politicians don't embrace it on the right, then nobody embraces it at all. And there's no one messaging the issue for life. And Ali's really good at that. Like talking about it in a way, that makes sense. That doesn't sound like you're mean to women.

She's very, very good at that. And that's just one example. Next hour, we have Selena Zito on. I also have Dinesh D'Souza on. And I want to talk to you a little bit. I had a conversation last night with Tulsa Gabbard. And she really boiled this down to what this election is really all about. And I think she's right.

And it's in all of our faces. But I don't think enough people really understand it that it is the biggest threat to our democracy. And it's not Kamala or Biden or Trump. It is the biggest threat to our country and our freedom. And I'll go into that here in just a second. Also, Selena Zito is on with us to talk about the impact of the U.S. dock workers strike as well as the debate. All right, let me tell you about rough greens. You like your dog.

You love your dog. I love my dog. I don't understand when people don't take care of their dogs. It's just, I just don't get it. But that's not you. You would never feed your children, who you also love, McDonald's for, you know, their whole childhood. You'd never do it.

You'd never do it. Well, that is what we're doing every time we open a bag of kibble for our dog. it doesn't have all of the stuff in it, probiotics, antioxidants, it needs the vitamins, minerals, everything that's been cooked out. So if you wouldn't do it for your kid, why are you doing it for your dog, which you'd love, you know, almost just as much.

It's burner. We say hello to the one and only, Salina Zito. Hi, Selena. Hi, Glenn. I just want to, first, I know we want to talk about the dock workers, but I've only got like eight in the minutes or so. Can you talk to me about what you thought of the debate last night? So I did what I have done since 2012 and not gone to wherever the debate is because they put you in a room. and you're just with other journalists.

And I watched it in the bar. And I try to pick places where I know the vote swings a lot, right? Pick counties or towns or municipalities where the vote is sort of up in the air. And there was a diverse group of people in this particular bar. And based on them, I mean, my own assessment is the Vance that I have covered since 2016, that I have known since 2016, it showed up. And these voters thought the same thing. In fact, there were two people at the bar who were undecided and they flipped to Trump Vance.

I thought that the event was, for the most part, cordial, mature. but I thought that Vance showed the side of himself that people have not seen, mostly because of the way he's been covered. You know, he's sort of been covered to be this, or weird or whatever the word that they're, you know, or extremists, whatever the word is, going, you know, going description of. But he showed what I have always thought was his greatest strength. He's a happy warrior. Yeah.

No matter what argument he is making, he does it in an aspirational way. He always brings the facts and he is smile. And people have astonished me as I've watched the coverage of him since he was picked, that no one in my profession has picked up on that. And that was my first impression of him in 2016. It was my impression of him when I covered him in the 2020 primary race in Ohio and the general election race. And I think people see that and my fellow journalists tend to not see that because they don't know anyone from Appalachia. Okay, so before we get to the economy and the wharf or the ports, tell me what your feeling.

feeling on the election right now? What do you think, any idea? Yeah, it feels very much like 2016. If the election were held today, now as we have learned, crazy things happen minute by minute. We don't know what's going to move anything.

However, if the election were held today, I believe Trump dance would win. Wow, okay, good. All right, let's talk about the dock workers, because President Biden yesterday said he's not going to get involved. He doesn't want to get involved. He doesn't want to force them back to work. But he's doing it, I think, because he doesn't want to lose the union vote or hurt the union vote.

But at the same time, I mean, 90% of our, like 93% of our medication come through those ports. Food, cars come through that. Car parts come through those ports. this is very dangerous to play for more than a week. Yeah, and also, as I wrote about yesterday, all of our farm commodities go in and out of that court. And that's going to have a direct impact on food inflation. You know, farmers are always at the short end of the stick of whatever is going on in the American psyche, politics, weather, trade deals. But, you know, this is a really, really interesting to navigate.

And here's why. Forever in a day, or at least since the 1920s, so for the past 100 years, automation is what has been killing the jobs for the Merck working men and women in the country. And they brought that up as a sticking point in their negotiations. and I think it's really making people think about all the impact automation and eventually AI is going to have on everyone's job. And also, you know, they have incredible, meaning the longshoremen right now, they have incredible power right now and attention, something they rarely get. and how they navigate that moment is incredibly important in the union movement, right? I would argue that there's no holding on to the union vote anymore for the Democrats.

They're going to get a certain percentage of it, but not much. The Republican Party has become the party of work. It's not divided down by race in the way that my profession tends to look at it, as well as pollsters. They're like, you know, black working class, white working class, Hispanic working class. No, they don't vote by race. They vote by their community and what they do. And they're all living shoulder to shoulder.

So a moment taking leadership and trying to get these guys to work together, meaning management and the union workers. and I think that voters believe that that is something that Trump would be better at. Let me. Go ahead. No, finish up. And I think that's where we're at right now with this whole scenario. So can we please play cut 40?

I want to play the Longshoreman's president yesterday what he said about the strike. You are going to grind the economy to a halt here on the East Coast and the Gulf Coast. Not us. They are. Don't spin it now because you're Fox News. They're going to drive it. Are you worried? Are you worried that this strike? They have the capital to settle this thing. Are you worried that this strike is going to hurt the everyday American? The farmers that need to reach the export market. They're telling me that they're going to hurt through all of this. Now you start to realize who the longshoremen are, right?

Nobody cares about us until now. When they finally realized that the chain is being broke now, cars won't come. come in. Food won't come in. Clothing won't come in. You know how many people depend on our jobs? Half the world. And it's time for them and time for Washington to put so much

pressure on them to take care of us. Because we took care of them and we're here 135 years and brought them where they are today and they don't want to share. What are your thoughts on that? How does that play with the American people? Well, here's the thing. You know, he's bombastic. He's,

a character. He wears a lot of gold, right? However, however, he does speak to something that is at the core very important to a lot of people in this country. And that is being seen, right? Yes. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing what they're doing. This is, this is, this is, analysis above that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, devastating. However, the thing that we are missing is, and what they're telling us is, and this is whether you support the strike or not, they are finally in their mind and a lot of other people out there that work jobs that make our economy go, that are an important cog in our supply chain, they're saying we are being seen. and I think that's the missing component of this. Yes, they're hurting all of us.

They are hurting all of us. However, there is that part that I think is most important to explore, as there's a whole bunch of people in this country who don't believe, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, whatever, they don't feel as though they are seen. And that is at the heart of what's going on right now. I think that is the heart of the Trump campaign. Yeah.

You know? Absolutely. I mean, I've written about, you know, East Palestine, right? Yeah. When Trump went to East Palestine in February of 2021. No, or is that 20? No, 223. I'm sorry, it feels like forever ago.

In 2023, he was at the down, that was, he was the worst. in his polls against Ron DeSantis. In fact, Ron DeSantis was beating him in every primary poll. Now, again, it's a year before, but whatever. You know, voters were still a little bit irked by losing a winnable Senate race in a couple months before. But he showed up. I mean, I was there.

He had go lashes on, right? And he's walking through these muddled and pundled and puberty. pud and it was sleet and raining and nobody knew what was in those puddles. No one knew what was in that soil. We still don't know. But he showed up. And that was the pivotal moment for Trump. That's when he started to regain the American, the trust in the American psyche.

That's when he became the potential that he has always had. And that's when he never stopped looking back. after that moment. Everyone says sort of, okay, it's because of, you know, these, these lawsuits or whatever that, you know, make people like him more. Maybe, possibly, probably. However, I think it was that pivotal moment. And that goes back to being seen.

It's the same in showing up in Butler. Why the heck does he go to Butler, Pennsylvania? There's not a big population there. However, it's very representative of the people who, don't feel seen. And there's 42 miles between East Palestine and Butler, Pennsylvania. And there is no more important 42 miles in the entire country. You can take those 42 miles and place it just about anywhere. And there are people in that spread of mileage that feel the same way about not being seen. So, Selena, can I ask you to hold on for just a second? Because I want to continue

our conversation because I have an important question about the lack of seeing the victims of this hurricane. And I have a very cynical view of this, and I'd like you to talk me down from the tree on it. We'll do that in 60 seconds. First, no shortage of natural disasters on hand right now. Southern California, three major wildfires recently forth thousands of people to evacuate the area, destroyed dozens of homes. That's just California. I mean, that's,

you know, that's a Wednesday. There are other major fires burning throughout Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, as well. Tens of thousands of people are out. And of course, there's the other side of the country, which is dealing with massive effects of Hurricane Helene. Times like this should make it very, very clear how important it is to be prepared for disasters in every way you possibly can. Now, let me add in the ports and a possible war. I told you a few minutes ago, 93% of our medicines come through those ports that are now closed. What do you do? Go to Jacemedical.com right now.

I mean, I feel to some degree like I felt with the Afghanistan withdrawal. This is shameful. America doesn't do this. To have such a lackluster FEMA response. and people still helping each other.

There's no soldiers coming. There's nothing. There's nothing. And I wondered, why would you do that so close to the election? Why wouldn't you have been prepared like crazy? There's lots of excuses that could go. But one is, looking at the FEMA website, they're not, they're about preparedness. They're about equity.

they're not that the equity is their number one goal uh not disaster relief um so i think there's a change in in fema but more importantly and this is the really cynical part you've just taken out a whole swath of trump voters you have taken it where if they don't have electricity they don't have food they don't have roads they don't have cars they don't have basic necessities they ain't going out to vote Is that too cynical? Okay. I have been writing about Appalachia for a while. I live in Appalachia.

It is 423 counties that diagonally spreads from southern New York all the way down to the tip of Mississippi. And it has long been a place that has been ignored by our cultural curators. What do I mean by that? I don't just mean government, which is shameful government, but also corporations, Hollywood, you know, institutions, academia. This is the place that they always ignore. They do not understand it. Why?

They don't live anywhere near it. They don't know anybody that came from there. And if they happened to have originally been born there, they have a long shed any cultural connection to the region. So Appalachia used to be, this whole diagonal part of our country used to be majority Democrat, didn't change until, start changing until 2014, changed dramatically by 2016. But they are still the same people, right? It's that the parties have left them.

But they don't, you know, Appalachia is hard to navigate. It's hard to get to, and it's easy to dismiss because there are no. No, there's no centers of power or wealth in any of them. It doesn't behoove our cultural curators to pay attention when disaster hits. Remember last year when Kentucky got ravaged by flooding? Yes. I mean, you probably don't. Unless you were paying Clinton or lives in Kentucky.

No, it was like a story for five minutes. Yeah. And this happens all of the time. I will tell you this. These are the most resilient, hardworking, persistent people, and they will find a way to vote. They will crawl through mud to vote. But it is shameful the way, let's just stick with my profession. It is shameful the lack of attention that it has given to this, given how devastating it is.

You know, and it is so, it is so shameful that, um, I believe that Mercury 1 was the first, uh, drop of food and water. If not the first, one of the very few, uh, at the very beginning that, that, that shouldn't be that way. The federal government has the resources. They have the airplanes, the helicopters. They could have been flying in food and emergency supplies. within an hour and they didn't and it's shameful it's absolutely shameful

the look who stepped up because who stepped up in this moment it is people like you it is people like 9-line like all of these sort of black rifle all these organizations that are based on people

that have served our country right and who else is helping each other fellow North Carolinians fellow Virginians, people from South Carolina, fellow Georgians, and West Virginia and Virginia, who have also been hit. These are the people that have stepped up. And maybe the biggest lesson is here is that these people are resilient and they can take care of themselves.

No thank you, government. Thank you. Selena, thank you so much. We'll talk again. Stay safe. By the way, I will be in Appalachia. Tomorrow afternoon, I'll be in Asheville. North Carolina. Unloading yet another helicopter full of food and supplies. International

Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It's not going to come as a shock to you that the war continues in Israel. In fact, it's just getting heated, heated up. Yesterday, Iran launched hundreds of missiles directly into the country. I mean, you want to talk about a miracle? How many people died yesterday? on the on the on the Israeli side I don't think any I mean that is crazy things are going to get worse but we need to take a stand and support the people of Israel we don't need to fight their wars we just need to support them your support of Israel and our people is critical please give as generously as you can they are the the fellowship uh international fellowship of Christians and Jews They are on the ground providing the food and the shelter and everything else for the Israelis.

We're thrilled to have Dinesh DeSuzza joining us, best-selling author, award-winning filmmaker. his documentaries, 2016,

Obama's America, and then America, imagine a world without her, some of the top grossing political films of all time. He's got a new one

coming out called vindicating Trump. We're going to get into that in just a second. Let's first start with the debate last night. Yeah, I thought JD was terrific.

He, well, He vindicated Trump in his own distinctive. And the first time, I think anybody has done that really well. Yeah, and he almost vindicated the virtues of an Ivy League education. Of course, of course, Tim Walts boasts that no one he's ever taught has gone to an Ivy League school. That's not something a teacher should say. He takes a certain pride in the lack of achievement of his.

I've raised a bunch of kids. I taught them and they've all gone on to, well, bee farmer. and plumbers, which is totally fine, but a teacher should be like, you know, and I really help drive somebody to really go on and do something just amazing that they thought they couldn't do. Absolutely. I mean, the thing about Walts is he's conveying a certain, I guess they brought him on to make a left-wing populism to counter J.D.'s appeal to like the white working class. But I'm really not sure that that's Walts' appeal at all. What is his appeal? Well, it's a kind of awshuck's goofballism, which is a little unbecoming the way I see it.

I mean, I don't know if you saw that little scene where he's on the football field. He sees a mascot. And he just goes into a massive sports routine. He does the victory sign. He jumps up and down. He hugs the mascot. And you have to remind yourself, this is a 60-year-old man. The emotionalism is out of proportion with the event.

Yeah, yeah. And it's that exaggerated mannerism. I think there's a, you know, we all know there's a kind of fake fakery with Kamala Harris. I think there's a different kind of artificiality of fakery with Tim Walts. The thing about J.D. Vanson, Trump, by contrast, is authenticity. I mean, they're both the real deal. They are. Right?

J.D. came out from the kind of the dregs of society as he writes himself. He said twice, I'm from middle class. No, he's not. No. He's from low class. And not only that, but it's in a kind of way worse because it's one thing to grow up in poverty, right? There are Indians who grow up in the slums. But you take a slum kid and you give him opportunity and he'll thrive.

Why? Because he's actually got a family. He's got a kind of a social structure even in the slum. He's just missing opportunity. With J.D. Mance, if you read about his family, his grandmother is setting his grandfather on fire. Yeah. The cultural dysfunctionality mirrors anything you'd find.

in a barrio or in a ghetto. Yeah, I mean, is mama addicted to heroin? How many people do you know that grew up like that that have achieved just breaking that cycle? Just breaking that cycle is a huge victory. Going on and being a vice presidential candidate who held his own like he did last night, that is only in America, literally only in America. You know, it's funny he has the Indian wife. I had him in my podcast and my name, Dinesh, has said Dinesh. in America, but in India, it's said a little differently. It's actually said more like the niche, right? So anyway, J.D. comes on, he goes, hello, the niche. And kind of startled me, but then I remembered he got it from Ushah. He probably said, call him the niche. And so I

chuckled out loud. So J.D. has this kind of wonderful life story of moving in a way from kind of rural Appalachia into a certain cosmopolitanism and a certain urbane style, which is very fact-driven, very measured. So I thought he was very effective. So I think he was most effective last night at giving people who might want to vote for Donald Trump but are just a little hesitant, you know, I don't know. I thought he made it okay to vote for Donald Trump for those people who are edgy about it. You know what I mean? We also can't forget that Trump is well into his 70s and I think people who are voting for Trump have to look a little bit beyond Trump. And so, J.D., has to make people comfortable that, hey, you know what? If something happens to

Trump and I'm in the saddle, I'm going to be fine. And I think he did do that last night. And it was, I mean, it shows Donald Trump is not planning on, you know, becoming king forever, because that is clearly a successor. He picked a successor. Yeah. And I think also Trump dispel the idea, which was kind of circulating with Mike Pence, that somehow Trump, is this alpha male and he picks people who are very passive, people who will never steal the limelight, people who are not smarter than he is. But JD is in a way competitive on all those fronts. And Trump appears to be very comfortable in picking a guy like JD.

So I think it says a lot about Trump as well as about JD. He really likes, he likes JD. Let me take that same kind of path of making it okay to vote for Donald Trump. I have been saying for a while, I'm so glad you're doing this. Somebody has to compile all of the things that have been said about Donald Trump and compare it to what the truth is now that we can prove all of the things that are true. I just saw Leslie Stahl on 60 Minutes back in 20, I don't know, 2017 or sometime. And they were talking about his Russian collusion.

And he said, Leslie, that's not true. And they are, they, they bugged my office. They were spying on, and she just became indignant. That's not true. There's no evidence of that. Well, now we know the evidence. So the vindication of Trump is so important. And the vindication of Trump is important because Trump himself does his own thing.

There's a certain appealing schtick. Trump is a bit of a stand-up comedian. of course, in the two assassination attempts, he showed, I think, a sublime level of courage. Oh, yeah. And I don't know anyone alive who would respond to either assassination attempt that way. Not to mention, by the way, the 91 criminal charges, think of it. Any other Republican facing two criminal charges would probably have exited the field. Yes.

May never be heard from again. And Trump not only survives and endures, he is such a, he does so much legal rope-a-dope. He thwarts all the gag orders. You know, he comes right out of the courtroom and starts speaking and taking on the judge. So his ability to forge ahead is sort of legendary. It is. Now, that being said, when I remember flashing back to the Reagan days, Reagan would stand up and make the case for himself. Here are the reasons to vote for me.

Right. Trump does not do that. And that's why this film, Vindicating Trump, it's in theaters now, by the way, 800 and some theaters around the country. And I have a book of the same title coming out in about a week. Vindicatingtrump.com, if I can give the website. type in your city or your town, and boom, the theaters will pop right up. So this has been, I think, an exciting project because, like you say, we can now look back

and see all the ways in which devious things were done and present it as true. Here's a small example. Fauci recently comes out and says, you know that six-foot social distancing rule, there were no studies behind that. There was no science. All the follow, the science was made up. The rule was made up. But then I always think to myself, why?

Why did you make up that rule? And the answer, I think, is obvious. And that is, if people have to be six feet apart from each other, you can't have a normal election. Because in a normal election, people stand in line to vote. So the justification for mailing out millions of ballots, mail in drop boxes, changing all the rules, all of this was connected in some way to the social distancing that was presented as something that was a mandate, but as it turned. out was a conjecture. Have we even

begun to turn the corner on any of this? I mean, I'm seeing, like, I think Tulsi Cabbard, RFK Jr., his running mate, who is, you know, now she's even saying, no, the election was stolen in 2020.

She said, I didn't believe it before. I believe it now because I've seen the inner workings of the Democratic Party. This is the point. I think there's been a real certainly a breakthrough in people grasping how deep this problem lies. In fact, I think we have to give a little bit of rope to Trump in the sense that some of the mistakes that Trump made. He came in from the outside. I think Trump thought, we know the media's left wing, we know that Hollywood is left wing, but is the FBI left wing? The CIA, the military, really? I think Trump thought, if I bring in a

general, John Kelly, this guy's going to do what I say. He'll get it done. So the idea that the guys in the lab coats at the CDC and the NIH were ideological, were corrupt, were lying. I don't think that crossed his mind. Yesterday, a couple of days ago, I saw George Conway raging on one of these shows, and he was saying, you know, Trump is such a narcissist. He only cares about himself. You know, he doesn't care about people. He doesn't care about the country.

And I'm thinking to myself, my mind flashed back to COVID. And I thought, here's Trump. In March of 2020, he's got a roaring economy, which is going to carry him on his little surfboard, right across the finish line. And then the people in the white coats come to him and say, you got to shut it down. Right now, if Trump only cared about himself, he'd be like, I don't care. Let the pandemic rage.

That's not my problem. I want to get across the finish line. That's my goal. But no, Trump immediately goes, you know what? I actually know that I'm killing the golden goose that I created and I'm going to jeopardize my own chance of re-election. And he did it. And he did it more effectively than what the, they're saying now he went he went beyond what they were saying they were saying you know the left

was saying at first you know he's a racist he and he's like i'm shutting it down i'm shutting it down because this is the advice that is not remembered either no no and and and and and the the achievement was the trump said look we need to fight this and we need to fight this with science and so he deployed the the the effort to try to find a vaccine now Apparently they found a vaccine that reduces the severity, but then they started lying about that, right? You take the vaccine. This is Rochelle Walensky. You can't get COVID.

You can't give away. Give COVID. The disinformation was coming from the government. That's the whole point. So when Tim Wall stands up last night, he goes, well, you can't shout fire in a crowded theater. We're not talking about shouting fire in the crowded theater. We're talking about the government censoring critics who are saying truthful things in response to the government's own lies. We're not. The theater already burnt down. We're outside saying, who started the fire? It appears maybe the firemen were involved. That's the difference. And that's when free speech must happen. Must happen. I think the key thing I'm trying to do here with Trump is answer on passant along the way, the Republican who says something like this. I don't like Trump, but I like his policies. Or they'll say, you know, he needs to shut his mouth. Or Dinesh tell him to stop posting on social media.

So there's a certain idea out there that we need a new and different Trump, a kind of a reform Trump. We need to remake Trump. But my point is that a lot of Trump's greatest qualities come out of the same personality that is over the top. I mean, Trump is obviously, you know, he's a salesman. And he'll say things like, for him, the crowd isn't just big. It has to be the biggest crowd ever. Yeah, yeah. Right.

The burgers in Marlauga aren't just good. They're like the best burgers ever made. Right, right, right. And everyone knows that. Even his dictator for a day is Trumpian shtick. Now, I'm not a dictator, but maybe for one day. This is like stand-up comedy, and the left pretends to take it seriously. I think that's the key point.

They pretend that he poses this severe threat. Deep down, they know he doesn't. But deep down, they also do fear him like they don't fear any other Republican. I've only got about 40 seconds. Tell me about the idea of 7% that. the latest polling coming out of Pennsylvania. There's a seven point spread between people who say they're going to vote for Trump and people who say, I know Trump and his policies are better for me economically and for my life.

What's that gap? And does that go away? Do those 7% actually walk in and vote for Trump? Yeah. I think if the American people could see there's a dimension of Trump, he's a genuinely. so for example he's famously egotistical in public right yeah loves praise yeah in private he's not he's actually self-deprecating and he shows great curiosity about people um he also is very uh he has a certain generosity of spirit yes uh and all of this is evident to people who are around him i try

how the centerpiece of this film is a one-on-one with trump and i tried to bring out that private dimension of trump yes which i think will give people a great deal of not just comfort but enthusiasm in supporting him.

Let me tell you about Good Ranchers. If you ever need a reminder of inflation, I recommend you just take a stroll down the meat aisle at the grocery store.

It doesn't matter if that little flag is on your meat. It's a product of America. It's not. That's a lie. It's a game.

We're going to have to play the Tim Wall's answer on you weren't in Tiananmen Square, but you were in Tiananmen Square? It was one of the worst answers I've ever heard.

I don't know how he wasn't prepared for that. Everyone knew that was going to, that question theoretically was coming. I guess theoretically it was coming. You've never been challenged before. You know, maybe that's it. The press never challenged you. What do you make of the idea that because they put, you know,

Tim Walls and bubble rep since he was named, he just just didn't have the reps. I mean, it looked at times like he was out of practice of doing interviews slash divays. You know what he reminded me of is, do you remember Ross Perrault's? The general? The general.

The admiral. And he was a great guy. He was really well qualified. But he had never done anything like that. And he just got slaughtered by the press. That is honestly, I kept thinking of him last night. I don't think he's good. Like Stockdale, I think, was very well qualified for what he does.

I don't think Walls is. But he's never done it before. And by not talking to the press, by not actually running for office the way you're supposed to, he was ambushed. I want to talk to you about a new sponsor I am actually very, very excited about. It is called the up phone. The up phone. It's a smartphone that takes control of your information and does not let it go anywhere. It's, you know, a constitutional right, our privacy.

And everybody has access to it. no matter what you're doing, where you're going, everybody has access to it. It's crazy. The Uppphone is like a digital vault. It's a fortress. Now, it doesn't exist in Apple or the Google, you know, mobile ecosystems. It comes with its own operating system and has its own app store and everything else. You can get everything that you want. It's own messenger, which you can make end-to-end encrypted calls and video calls. You can send files and photos, even create a secure chat group. VPN antivirus. It is a tremendous, tremendous phone. You've been monitored and surveilled and digitally exploited by big tech. This takes all of big tech's power away. Unplugged.com

slash glen. Find the upphone at unplugged.com slash glen. Use a promo code Glenn and say money. Hello, America. I want to talk to you about mass deportation. It is not only not immoral, it is absolutely critical. There's a tactic being used against the United States, and we have to get familiar with it, and fast. It's called asymmetric warfare. And it is being used on us by both our political adversaries, but our military adversaries as well. And the means of attack is, immigration. Progressives are using it to collapse the system, overwhelm it, collapse it, and then rebuild. Our global enemies, however, are using it to destroy, and we are not prepared. Tonight, on my Wednesday night special, I'm going to show you the real threat that we are facing due to our open and unsecured border. I'm going to show you the secret meetings in South America convened by our biggest rivals that includes some of the scariest terrorists in the entire world. I'll show you how they are being trained in places like Iran, formed into criminal

elements south of the border, and are now committing atrocities in cities all across the United States. The case for mass deportation is not racist, it's not heartless, it is common sense, and it has to happen. Tonight at 9, we cover that. Coming up in just a second, Chip Roy. We'll talk about this. Other things that are happening around the world and the debate last night, Chip Roy joins me in 60 seconds. Silver is up 35% since the beginning of this year. Gold is at 27, just over 2,700 right now. That is way up, way up. And their Goldman Sachs came out and said they think they will end the year at 2,900 an ounce. Others say it could be over 3,000. I think we're going to hit 3,000 an ounce soon. But that's just me.

Don't listen to me for investment advice. Listen to me, however, on being prepared, please. Global demand for silver rose by 18% last year to a record high of 1.24 billion ounces. This is a huge supply deficit, according to the Silver Institute. Now is the time. Gold or silver, please protect you, your family, all of that money that you have put into a 401k or you have saved, please protect it. 10% of what you might have in savings, please put it in gold or silver.

So you have something when all of this falls apart. 800957 gold. 800 957 gold. Call them today. It's Lear Capital. 800 957 gold. The lovely and talented Chip Roy is with us now. Hello, Chip.

Good morning, Glenn. How are you, brother? I am, I'm really good. I wish people were taking the crisis that we are facing on the border more seriously. I think it's getting better, but I don't think people understand what we are actually facing. And the state of Texas came out and called a spade of spade. The Venezuelan gang has now been by Texas called what it is, a terrorist organization. Well, you know, look, I do think the election season, J.D. Vance last night, broadly speaking, where we've been trying to drive the message over the last few years is taking root. It's taken time. We obviously have a media that doesn't want to help. They covered up. They, you know, they basically make excuses for an administration that is purposely abusing our borders to achieve their political aims. And in the process, they are endangering Americans. Americans are dying and migrants are getting abused. J.D. handled that very well. well, pushing back on that last night.

I know we'll talk about the debate in a minute, but on the issue, it's really important because this comes up a lot. I know you get this a lot as a man of faith. We get pushed back on it, saying it is unchristian-like, right? That is that we are not being compassionate. You hear the Pope out there talking about this. If we want to have our borders be secure and stop the flow of legal immigration, I think that is exactly backwards.

I do too. The Bible is very specific about sovereignty, about God's plan, about the nations. You know, you don't look at any further than the history of Israel itself and how they dealt with boundaries. And there's plenty of scripture recognizing sovereignty in God's plans. But importantly, it is inherently unchristian and uncompassionate to allow these children to be abused. So allow people to be abused, be put in harm's way, to be used by the cartels, to be then put in slave labor, he put in the sex trafficking trade to have 320,000 kids get misplaced by our bureaucratic government who's being supposedly compassionate. It's ridiculous. We need to stand up for a sovereign nation

because we have a right to do so. Elon Musk says this very well. Are you truly going to invite 7.7 billion people on this planet to come join the 300 million plus Americans and say that we don't have borders? Well, then we don't have a nation. It just defies common sense. So the rule of law matters, and this is the last point I'll say, the rule of law matters for the very people that are attracted to come here. Because if we don't have the rule of law, if we don't have a nation, then they have no place to go. That the huddled masses have no place to long for and strive for. And then we weaken the rest of the world. We weaken the Western Hemisphere.

We empower our enemies. And you have 35,000 Chinese nationals coming here. You have all of these terrorist organizations. You point out the Venezuelan gangs. They're real. I went out to Aurora, Colorado. I went and met with the residents of those apartments who lost their ability to have a home, who didn't have a manager on site.

Venezuela and gangs were changing the locks. This is all real. It's true. And thankfully, people are waking up. Some of us been screaming this for five years, some of the Congress. Finally, I think the American people are finally waking up. So tonight on the TV show, I'm exposing some of the things that are happening overseas where they're training for, you know, activities here in the United States.

United States, you know, in places like Iran. We, we are in serious trouble. Our Department of Homeland Security has said, you know, that it's only a matter of time now and all of the lights are flashing red. I'm surprised we haven't been hit yet, but I would expect one after the election, or shortly before the election. What is it going to take for for people to understand this is not going to get better unless you make a massive change in leadership. Well, I hope people are starting to see that. You know, what we see right now is the destruction of America. Nothing less than that.

And I think it's really important. And I think I'm in a unique position to make that point. You no doubt have listeners who have loved. fully supported President Trump, maybe a few that were, no, I support DeSantis, but now they're back to Trump summer. I was out there advocating for Ron DeSandis. He's a good friend and a good man, and I very much respect him. I can't overstate how critical it is and important it is that Donald Trump get elected on November 5th. I cannot overstate that. If we don't get him elected, I don't believe the Republic can survive. I don't think it is any

I don't think that's hyperbole, Glenn. We live in a world where people do this stuff for cliques. They do this stuff and they say outrageous things. I don't like making statements like that. I believe in our country. Our country turns 250 years old in 2026 in July 2nd when we voted to break away from England. I believe in the values of this country

and the greatness of so many Americans. But this administration, the current radical progressive Democrat regime, team have completely disintegrated our safety, security, and culture. They've invited masses of people into our country, released known criminals, known murderers. Think about that. You saw that data that was released last week with the 13,000, 15,000 known murders and whatever. We've known this.

We finally get a report from the administration confirming it. We've known it because you can see it with your own eyes. Lake and Riley's family knows it. Jocelyn Nungare's beautiful mom, Alexis Nungary knows it, Kayla Hamilton's family knows it, Rachel Morin's family knows it. Do I need to keep going down the list? That's what they're doing to us. So to take it back, you ask the question, what will it take?

I think we're seeing what it will take. I hope in real time. But we're going to have to show up on November 5th, and as President Trump says, make it too big to rig. So let me ask you that question. FEMA doesn't seem to be pulling out all of the stops to help the people in Appalachia. That is Trump country. I don't know.

Who is working on making sure that the people who don't have roads, cars, electricity, or in five weeks going to be able to pull a lever for whoever they want to vote for? Are we doing anything about that? Well, without getting into specifics, with some good friends of mind in North Carolina, I've been having conversations with about that very point, ensuring that we're able to get all of the people who want to have a say in their elections and should have a say in their elections despite the absolute tragedy that has occurred in the western part of North Carolina. And the eastern part of Tennessee, don't want to forget that as well.

Oh, I know. It's Appalachia. And I know you don't. I just meant, you know, broadly, we all keep talking about North Carolina, and, you know, parts of Georgia, parts of Tennessee, they're all got to hit hard. And, but to your point, yes, some conversations are going on to make sure we try to focus on that. I've had some good conversations with the national GOP. And there's a limit to what you can do to some degree, right? It's local, you know, local registrars and they have to figure out how to get it done.

Obviously, right now we're trying to get, you know, Elon, God bless him, is donating Starlink. We're trying to get that stuff out. FEMA's nowhere to be found. The FCC and all of the federal government that walked away from allowing Starlink to be given out to increase broadband. instead, sitting around, and now these people don't have anything. So Elon, others, private sector people are stepping up. And I will say that's one thing, you know, go back to the Cajun Navy from a few years back back, right?

Yeah. You know, came over to help during the floods and the hurricanes. My friend Corey Mills down at Florida, he's mostly with the private sectors and some guys that are, you know, ex-military. They're flying in, flying helicopters, and they're just sticking their middle finger up to the bureaucracy, to the federal government and local government, by the way, that wants to get in the way of it all. that's the way we save our country.

It's not getting in this weird, like, you know, internets and battles in D.C. I do my best up here to try to basically, the way some of my friends put it in, we're kind of profits to a degree. We have to, like, kind of go look at what's going on, send up the warning signals. You know, I wrote a letter in April

about the George Soros radio issue because I saw it coming. That's our job, right? As you look out, you go put that stuff out there, and you try to highlight for the people so we can raise the issue because like it or not, I'm one 435th of one half of one third of this crap hole, and we have to build numbers. And the American people in our system are the ones that help us build the numbers. So that's what we try to do.

I got off target, sorry. No, that's fine. Are we going to actually look into the funding of those George Soros funders? Yeah, I mean, we're looking into it. Like I said, I rose the issue up, got some committee folks looking at it. I'm trying to figure out there's some lawsuits. You know, some of our friends in America First legal. There's going to be, I think, some radio stations and some others that would have standing.

We're trying to figure out who would have standing. I don't have standing. I don't think. We're trying to figure that out how we can at least litigate it to try to stop it because what they're doing is unprecedented. It's unlawful, we believe. Do I have standing? Because I'm on some of those stations. Do I have standing?

You may be, and you might need to have that conversation. I'm happy. Let's have that conversation. might have standing because we need to elevate that issue. It's a huge, huge issue. You all, you know better than I do. And so, you know, look, I was talking to Brendan Carr and the FCC. He's been one of the leaders on this. I'm sure you've followed out there in social media. And Brennan, he's been putting this out there. I said, dude, what do we do? This guy, we've got to win in November because we're outvoted. You know, they lost three to two. It was a bad decision, but that's

what happens. It's like the people that run FERC. It's like the people that run everything else. if we don't win in November back to the point, you know, five minutes ago, we lose the country. That's what's at stake. It's things like this, the FCC. Yeah. Tulsi Gabbard said to me last night, I was talking to her after the debate, and she said, Glenn, this is all about freedom of speech. The last thing that J.D. Vance said in the debate was, this is about freedom of speech. And it is. We are going to lose freedom of speech if they are reelected. to another term. To be attacked on our second amendment, we're going to be attacked on all of the things upon

which our nation was founded. These rights come from our creator. They are our rights. The government that was created by the founders recognized those rights. They didn't give us those rights. We have to flex our muscle as people who, as the declaration lists out, as Jefferson and to some degree some help from Adams and Franklin, as those guys wrote that out, it was very clear what they meant.

Okay, and we are supposed to live freely, and we need this government to reflect that because we love our country. We look at the flag with pride. We look at the history and all that it stood for. I believe we can take it back. But let's remember, we have a right to live free. That's the bottom line. That's what it actually boils down to at the end. And so this election is going to decide whether or not.

These 50 states can stand united and be a strong and sovereign nation. Don't like engaging hyperbole. But when the founders talk about the right to pursue happiness, we've got to pursue happiness. I want it to be with this country. We better win in November to make that happen. Okay. Chip, thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

God bless you. Chip Roy from the great state of Texas, congressman from the state of Texas. All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor's International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Every Jewish person living in Israel right now is in a time of crisis. I talked to my friend who lives over in Israel last night. He said, Glenn, he said, I was out with my daughter. And he said, we were in the car.

And we had to drive home. And we're watching these rockets come in. Can you imagine seeing those missiles? By the way, you want to know the most unlucky person? Can we show which clip is it? It's the clip of, is it 39? Go ahead. Play 39.

Yes. Okay, so let me show it again. And I'll describe it. There's a guy walking on the street. He's a Palestinian. And a rocket is shot down. And boom. The rocket comes falling out of the sky.

This guy's just walking down the street. And it hammered. It's like a bug. I don't mean. to make light of this, but it's like a Bugs Bunny cartoon where the safe or the piano falls out of the sky. It is crazy how unlucky this guy was. But anyway, it's a crisis over there and it could get much, much worse. We need to support Israel. And the best way to do that is let Israel fight its wars and make sure the Jewish people know that we're not the Christians that Germany had.

We are different, and we support them. We know who they are. I want you to give as generously as you can to support Israel and our people at IFCJ. Just go to support.ifcj.org. That's one word. Supportifcj.org. You can give, or you can go and donate now on the phone at 888-488-IFCJ. That's 888-48-48-4-8-4-3-20. What is the last number? I can't see it. 25?

Okay. 8-88-48-8-48-48-43-25. All right. It's International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. All right. 10 seconds. Station ID. What?

All right. Can we play the full answer of Tiananmen Square? I mean, this is the weirdest thing. This guy just is a pathological liar. Yeah. And it's not just lying about, okay, my, like, for example, he also lied about the border thing where he said Donald Trump had more people crossing the border than they. That's a blatant lie. Everyone knows it's a lie.

It's crazy. This is about his life. So, yeah, listen to this. Governor Walls, you said you were in Hong Kong during the deadly Tiananmen Square protests in the spring of 1989. But Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets are reporting that you actually didn't travel to Asia until August of that year. So later. Can you explain that discrepancy? Yeah.

Well, and to the folks out there, I didn't get at the top of this. Look, I grew up in small rural, Nebraska, town of 400, the town that you rode your bike with your buddies until the streetlights come on, and I'm proud of that service. I joined the Arctic 17, worked on family farms, and then I used the GI Bill to be coming. A teacher, passionate about it, a young teacher. My first year out, I got the opportunity in the summer of 89 to travel to China. 35 years ago, be able to do that. I came back home and then started a program to take young people there. We would take basketball teams.

We would take baseball teams. We would take dancers. And we would go back and forth to China. The issue for that was, was to try and learn. Now, look, my community knows who I am. They saw where I was at. They, look, I will be the first to tell you, I have poured my own. heart into my community. I've tried to do the best I can.

First to tell us that. I'm not been perfect. And I'm a knucklehead at times. But it's always been about that. Those same people elected me to Congress for 12 years. But they didn't know that you were lying about. I was one of the most bipartisan people. Falling for your lives. Like farm bills that we got done working on veterans benefits. And then the people of Minnesota were able to elect me to governor twice. So look, my commitment has been from the beginning to make sure that I'm there for the people to make sure that I get this right. I will say more than anything.

Many times I will talk a lot. I will get caught up in the rhetoric. But being there, the impact it made, the difference it made in my life, I learned a lot about China. I hear the critiques of this. I would make the case that Donald Trump should have come on one of those trips with us. I guarantee you he wouldn't be praising Xi Jinping about COVID. And I guarantee you he wouldn't start a trade war that he ends up losing. So this is about trying to understand the world.

It's about trying to do the best. best you can for your community. And then it's putting yourself out there and letting your folks understand what it is. My commitment, whether it be through teaching, which I was good at, or whether it was being a good soldier or was being a good member of Congress, those are the things that I think are the values that people care about.

I have a pretty jam-packed day today in the next couple of days. I'm going to be tonight, Wednesday night special, a special you don't want to miss.

It's on what's really happening. Who's really in our country? And why are some of these people training in Iran and then coming across our border? We will show you stuff that nobody else will show you tonight for the Wednesday night special at 9. Then tomorrow, I am going to be, I'll do the show. And while we're doing the show, the Mercury One staff is going to be loading a plane full of goods and things that they need in North Carolina. Tomorrow after the show, I'm going to get onto a plane, deliver that, and then load some of it on a helicopter to bring it to Asheville. and I'll be in Asheville, and hopefully I will be back at the midnight hour to be able to do the show on Friday from here.

And I'll report to you what I saw in Asheville. And what I'm going to see, I know, is just the unbreakable spirit of the people of Appalachia. All right. The other thing that happened yesterday that is so important is Israel. Israel is going to respond, I believe. We have Lieutenant Colonel retired. Jonathan Conricus, he's been on with us before. He is a former Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson and now Senior Fellow of Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

And we wanted to get you on, Jonathan, first of all, assuming you're in Israel, you're safe, and that's good. tell us what happened yesterday and what it means going forward. Yes, hi Glenn. Thank you for having me again, a pleasure. What happened yesterday was the biggest missile attack in Israeli history. About 200 ballistic missiles were fired from about 800, 900 miles away in Iran at Israel. The Iranians claimed that they were aiming for military targets, but most of the impacts were actually in civilian neighborhoods. And luckily, and quite ironically, some may say, the only casualty in life was a Palestinian in Jericho.

No Israeli citizens were killed. And while there were some impacts at an Israeli Air Force base, nothing of substance and no real damage. It's neither to infrastructure or to military capacities. Oh, wait a minute. Hang on. I heard that several F-35s were taken out. That's not true? That is absolutely categorically not true.

Wow. There wasn't a single plane hit, not a single hangar or bunker, and no single runway. There were some logistics buildings in one of the Air Force spaces. I'm not going to say the name, but one of the airport spaces was a hit. It's already been fixed. patched up, no damage to the Israeli air force's capability to continue to operate. And as our enemies know, the Israeli air force continues to operate in Beirut, in other parts of the Middle East, in southern Lebanon, over Gaza.

So the Iranian propaganda of having 90% of their targets were hit, absolutely false. And luckily, air defenses again proved the enduring... return on investment here, many years of investing, U.S. and Israel doing that together. And for the second time in the moment of truth, air defenses were almost airtight, and saved lots and lots of lives in Israel. I have to tell you, I mean, I don't know if you're a religious man or not, but I am. and 200 missiles being launched, ballistic missiles,

coming in and going into Israel and for no one to be killed and your Air Force and your military bases not to be destroyed is an extraordinary miracle, I think. I would agree. And you don't have to be, you know, clearing in every day. to recognize that something special happened again yesterday.

This is the second time that the Iranians unleash massive firepower. And just to be able to understand what we're talking about, the missiles that the Iranians fired are as big as school buses. And they fired 200 of them, each one of them, with hundreds of pounds, with about half a ton of explosives in their warheads. So we're talking about very serious weapons, large explosions, My family, we were in a bomb shelter. My son got caught outside.

He was on the bus and then ran to a shelter. And it was really a scene out of a movie with explosions and interceptions and out-hitting in Tel Aviv. And as you said, the fact that no substantial damage and no loss of life, yeah, many would say, and probably I would agree that this was a miracle. Her defense's idea and a miracle. I have to tell you that I watch those missiles come in live, but obviously from the other side of the planet. And I thought, what must that be like? You know, I thought of missile launches here going outbound or coming in, something very few people in the world have seen what happened yesterday.

It must have been terrifying for the average person. seeing everything the sky just lit up with fire yes the sky lit up with fire and each one of those points in the air you know that they're attached to hundreds of lethal and that they're aimed at the Israeli cities and there's explosions all around lots of noise you know we have just like in the US you have the amber alerts system on on your phone yeah so Israeli defense establishment did the same thing and issued like a push notification on all of the phones, even those who didn't have an app downloaded. And millions of Israelis simultaneously got very strong alarms on their phones,

calling them to immediately go to shelters. And that's what millions of Israelis did. And that's also what thankfully led to the fact that even though some of the missiles exploded in populated areas in Israel, nobody was hurt because Israelis were disciplined and went into bomb shelters and nobody was caught out in the open. So is Benjamin Netanyahu do you think going to respond to this? Will he strike Iran? And is there any fear that they are going to cut off the oil pathways?

Yeah, so go ahead. When we look forward, then I think that the, yeah, I'm here. Can you hear me? Yes, Ken. Go ahead. Can you hear me? Yes. Yes. Right.

So when we look forward here, I think that two things will determine what happens next. One is the Israeli endgame. What does Israel seek to achieve? Because there are a lot of things when it comes to the Iranian regime. And I'll clarify. And the second thing that is very important is how well will Israel coordinate with the United States of America? and what will the level of support be that Israel will receive. Now, regarding the first part, Israel can go for regime targets,

seats of government, leaders and personnel and infrastructure that is part of the Islamic regime. Israel can go for military and economic targets, specifically the places whereby the Iranian regime facilitates the export of oil and whereby they make money, which is used, of course, to fund terroric. activities, all of the terror organizations around Israel. And the third option, which, of course, many are eyeing and thinking about is Iran's nuclear military facility. The research facilities, the storage facilities, and many others.

These are three distinctly different types of targets, and it really matters what does Israel want to achieve. Does Israel want to bring down the regime? Does it only want to deter the Iranians from attacking Israel again? Will Israel be told not to do anything significant by the United States? Americans, and I'll of course remind everybody last time that Iran attacked on the 13th of April, Israel wanted to retaliate in a much stronger way, but refrained from doing so under American pressure, and instead Israel focused on continuing and finishing the job in Gaza against

Hamas. I don't think that we're going to see that today, and I think that we're going to see in the coming days a strong Israeli response. It may be aimed at the regime. It may be aimed at their nuclear facilities. What I think is absolutely important be ahead of any radio activity is that Israel and the United States of America are coordinated. And I hope American leaders will see this current situation, this threat to Israel as an opportunity to really do more in a week than what has been accomplished in 10 years of failed diplomacy when it comes to stopping Iran from going nuclear. I really think there's an opportunity. Yeah, I think that would be good. As long as, you know, there are calls from both sides yesterday that America needs to send more troops over. I think we already have 40,000 that we've sent over. We don't want to be in another war. This one could go global. I think Israel is showing the world, don't screw with us. You guys are doing a great job, and I support that. I just don't want to see us.

inflame things by including ourselves in the actual strikes, but supporting you to do that. I agree with you, and I wouldn't want a single American servicemen in harm's way, and I don't think that anybody needs to be fighting Israel's wars. And I think that Israel, in its history, has many times done the heavy lifting for the rest of the Western world, whether it's been dealing with Iraqi dictators or with Syria or with many others. And Israel is quite accustomed to it. The only thing that Israel asks is military support, supplies, and of course political and diplomatic support.

I don't think that Israel needs or want any American servicemen to be in harm's way. And I would just say a tremendous gratitude towards American servicemen in Centcom, deployed in the Red Sea, on the U.S. Navy ships and in the air, done tremendous work in intercepting Iranian missiles, very professional and super important, and I hope that they remain safe. And I hope that Israel can have the diplomatic and military freedom to do what it needs to do in order to defend itself. Well, we here support you on whatever you have to do to defend yourself. I support you, I should say, and I think there are millions of Americans that are listening

that feel the same way. Jonathan, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Thank you. Lieutenant Colonel retired Jonathan Conry Kuss, former Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson. The only thing that you should really be looking for is escalation, but most importantly, as he was talking about, Red Sea.

When you get into the straits over there, just off the shores of Iran, If they start going after our Navy ships or they try to close those straits down, that is the world's flow of oil. And we will get involved in that. And that will become very, very, very dangerous because this one will not be a partial war. This one will include, I believe, bombings in our streets. I believe we are close to terrorist activity, foreign terrorist activity in our own streets, orchestrated by Iran and a lot of others who are here and want to destroy us.

So we, especially during this election season, we all need to be good Americans together, not Republicans, Democrats, but good Americans. And start paying attention to these issues so we can take care of our own self first. So we survive this time period. Back in just a minute, let me tell you about my Patriot supply. You will never, ever, ever regret for planning for emergency situations for yourself and your family, especially if and when those emergency situations actually arise.

She said Costco yesterday was packed. Last night when I got home after the debate, I was going through some things on X.
