Starting point is 00:00:00 Let me talk to you about Jace Medical. Hey, did you hear there's another emergency stew? This time it might be monkey pox, or it could be the bird flu. If we could just get the birds and the monkeys to mate, we'd all be dead. Anyway, bird flu is popping up, and are you prepared for that? I mean, I know because of Jays case, I can get Tamiflu and have Tamiflu for my family. Do you have Tamiflu? also any
Starting point is 00:00:28 antibiotic or any medication that you have to have you might want to get the Jace case a personalized emergency kit that contains at the base the essential antibiotics and medications that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections
Starting point is 00:00:43 it provides five life-saving antibiotics for emergency use and you can add on they have things like Ivermectin Tamiflu etc etc you just go to their website right now jace.com. That's j-a-s-e-de-com slash Glenn and it's actually slash
Starting point is 00:01:03 blaze, I guess, and you enter the promo code Beck and you'll get a discount on your order. Hello America and welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Well, it was Wednesday when I got on and said, uh, Harris is, is America's Chavez or Maduro. Well, she's confirmed that. You know, you might want to, when people are calling you a communist, you might not want to propose communist ideas. But she's done it. She's got a great weapon called price controls. We get into that and all of the news of the week and the day in 60 seconds. Price controls, so you know, have never worked anywhere.
Starting point is 00:02:35 They've been tried. You know, all of the best places have tried them, like Cuba and very. Venezuela and Russia and East Berlin. I mean, that's what it is. It's communist. And you will reap the benefits of that. The other thing she wants to do is build a bunch of houses, so the government's going to start building houses.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Oh, that doesn't sound communistic at all, does it? And giving away money so you can buy houses, which would lead to more inflation. There's a shot. This is our next president. I hope to God not, but there's a shot. May I suggest you call Lear Capital today? Also, you know, they have gold and silver that you can take some of the savings that you might have,
Starting point is 00:03:24 your retirement funds, and convert it over to gold and silver. It is so important that you do this now before your dollar continues to lose more money. Your dollar has lost 25 cents of every dollar you have been saving. your stock market, well, you're not gained 10%. Okay, that means you lost 15 cents on every dollar because you gained. You're not gaining anything right now. You're losing money. Please, especially if you have retirement coming,
Starting point is 00:03:53 please make sure you protect your savings with gold or silver. Just call your capital now. They'll credit your account $250. All you have to do is call them. Call them now at 800-957 gold. 900 957 gold. Well, hello, Stu. How are you?
Starting point is 00:04:17 Very well, Glenn. Are you feeling it a little bit better today? Yeah, I, you know, I've just had the weakest vocal cords known to man. I don't know, I don't know how I got this job. I'm clearly not qualified for it. And it's not like I'm physically qualified for it. I have the worst vocal. Anytime, anytime I get a stuffy head, vocal cords are gone.
Starting point is 00:04:40 So it's nice. It's really nice. But thanks for filling in yesterday. I appreciate it. And I'm going to try to not raise my voice today so I can make it for the three hours. I don't. I've seen what I have to talk about today. Not sure that's possible. But I'm going to try.
Starting point is 00:05:03 And I want, you know, I also want to talk about some other things. I mean, may I just start with. cut one here. I've got a lot to say about this, and I'm going to compare and contrast later on in the program, but I can't take the folksy videos that are coming out, you know, from Harris and Walls. They're so folksy. They're so real.
Starting point is 00:05:31 They're so authentic. Here's Harrison Walls trying to talk about tacos. Listen. Like I have white guy tacos. And like black like mayonnaise and tuna. What do you doing? Pretty much ground beef and cheese. That's okay.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Do you put any flavor in it? No. Here's the deal. No, they said to be careful and let her know this that black pepper is the top of the spice level in Minnesota, you know. I'm the first vice president, I believe, who has ever grown chili peppers. I'm trying to expand my food knowledge. You know, we've got some channels. You'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Oh, they're great. They're great. Joy! That's joy. grab me a beer, Stu. Oh, here's Stu. Hi, Stu. You weren't expected. I know. That's me. I just walked into this
Starting point is 00:06:17 unexpected scene. Yeah. And I'm so stupid and so arrogant that I think I'm the first one to grow peppers. Nobody's done peppers before. Thomas Jefferson, you know, he yes, he was a botanist, but he
Starting point is 00:06:33 didn't grow anything like that. Thomas Jefferson had in his garden when the world thought tomatoes were poison poison he was growing tomatoes and apparently his guests were always a guest
Starting point is 00:06:49 when he would serve tomatoes you were trying to poison me Mr. Jefferson and he'd be like no watch I'm going to eat it and then he'd eat it and he wouldn't die so I think he might be a little ahead of you Kamala maybe a little bit oh a little bit
Starting point is 00:07:07 but maybe that's just me that's a great A Glenn Beck fact check right there. I will say I watched that video. At no point did I question whether she was the first person who grew peppers. And you actually knew that of all the things of that video, there's 100 annoying, offensive, just cringe-worthy things. I had not thought of the fact that she was just blatantly lying yet again. No, she's not lying there.
Starting point is 00:07:32 She's just dumb. She doesn't know. Okay. she lives in her self-imposed socialist bubble where everything that America did Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner and that's all I care about.
Starting point is 00:07:46 He was a slave owner. He had nothing else. It was just slave-like-ta-ta-ta-tike-tly-clip. Wasn't her, weren't her relatives? Also slave owners? Her grandfather. Your grandfather. Your grandfather.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Your great-great-grandfather or great-grandfather were, yeah, it was a notorious slave owner. In fact, in the town, town that he's from, I think it's in Jamaica, the town is named after him and it's a big statue and I think it's got a quote about slavery from him. It's beautiful. No, that's a, I'm, you know, I'm wondering,
Starting point is 00:08:21 is she going to get money for reparations or is she going to have to pay reparations? Wouldn't that be satisfying if she passed some policy and she had to pay the reparations? Because, I mean, that's, again, they just wanted to make this is a skin color thing to them. It's got nothing to do with reparations. So I assume she would receive it.
Starting point is 00:08:40 But I think she should be on the other side. She could receive both because she was a victim of the Asian smears. You know, the Asians built the railroads here. And the white man oppressed them. So she could probably get some railroad money from those damn Vanderbilt. No, Dan Vanderbilt. the actual last name of Anderson Cooper is Vanderbilt. So do we go after the Vanderbilt's or not?
Starting point is 00:09:09 I don't know. Are they good or bad? Labelis, labus, label, slavis, label, slavis. Maybe she can get her reparations from Joe Biden, whom she did, of course, basically call racist on stage during one of the debates. Perhaps he could be the one paying. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Still, let me ask you something.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I want to go back to the monkeypox thing. Oh, good. Yeah. How do you get monkey pox? I don't even know what monkey pox is. I know M-pox is a situation going on right now. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:09:41 I didn't mean to be so offensive. Yeah, because that is very offensive. You're blaming that monkeys? Is that the thing we're supposed to be protecting? Or the people that might have had, you know, intimate relation. And I'm not condemning you, a, monkeys are people too. So I don't want to condemn anybody who makes. a choice and like, I'm going to have sex with a monkey, you know, because every choice is equal
Starting point is 00:10:08 and great. How dare you? Are you thinking about having sex with a monkey? Are you trying to appropriate somebody else's culture? How dare you? Anyway, I've been hearing a little bit about the communities that are affected with M-Pox, Glenn. And the community, apparently that is, this has been a problem in is the men having sex with men community. Yeah. Which is, we used to have a word that would describe that type of activity, but no longer does it apply.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Now we have 94 words that describe the activity. Right, right. You know, and I mean, I'm kind of torn on this because that's horrible, horrible. But then again, I mean, that's probably 90% of the Biden Harris staff. So. Empox? administration. I mean, just saying, I mean, could wipe out the administration.
Starting point is 00:11:03 That would be, and that would be horrible. It would be horrible. I don't think. So the, because Mpox is, I was listening to a report of this, and I will be honest with you, I have not followed the details of it all that closely. But they say that most people would just recover from it. Is that accurate? Like, it's not like a, they're making it out to seem like it's four.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Yeah, it's a death rate of about four percent. So, I mean, much, that's it. That's not how they interest. When COVID was here and the death rate was much lower than 4%. They were very, very concerned about every child who got it dying. Well, apparently, it has mutated. It has mutated. So it's not just people, men having sex with men.
Starting point is 00:11:46 It has mutated now. And it's mutated into a way where you could give it to children now. And I don't know if that's. I don't know. Maybe that's CRT. I don't know. I mean, maybe that's, you know, I don't, I don't know how that's contracted with children now, but it has, it has jumped. And I'm sure that there wasn't a laboratory anywhere in the world that was doing experiments with monkey pox. Oh, we can be sure that there's no risk of that, obviously. Now we know. That's been debunked. There's a letter that came out around the start of COVID that debunked all of that. So I'm no longer concerned about last. leak theories at all. But I, it is interesting that like they, we do have like a new threat of some oncoming pandemic or, you know, health emergency.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Seemily every few months these days. The bird flu one is now in the in the pipeline, it seems. They keep talking about that. I wonder if attention, Dr. Fauci, Dr. Anthony Fauci to the experimentation, room, could you please try to put bird flu and monkey pox together and then make sure it gets into humans.
Starting point is 00:13:06 You do that, find the easiest way for it to jump into humans. And then we can cure it. How about just not creating it? I don't know. It seems... I'm just saying. I mean, it's kind of like the nuclear weapon, you know? Well,
Starting point is 00:13:22 maybe we shouldn't have made it in the first place, you know? Now, that one, it was going to be made by somebody. So I'd rather have it with the good guys than the bad guys. So we could use it as a mutually assured destruction thing. But these things are not going to happen in nature. You know, the birds and the monkeys and man are not all three going to have a threesome.
Starting point is 00:13:50 You know what I mean? It's like, oh, have you had bird sex? It is tremendous. Don't look down on me. Certain species. They're not, not everyone is impressive in the bedroom. Are you bringing up, though? Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Are you against bird sex? No, no, no, it seems, I'm sure it's delightful. I'm sure it's wonderful. I'm not going to try to experience it, but I'm sure I don't want to judge anyone for the choices that they're making. Absolutely. Absolutely. Are you bringing here, birdie, birdie, why don't you just perch on this branch? Oh, hang on. Somebody at your door?
Starting point is 00:14:27 What is that? I don't know what that was. Okay, good. Are you bringing up nuclear war because of your podcast? Is this just deeply in your head? Let me ask you this. Are you just bringing up the podcast because you are so wildly uncomfortable with me? With the bird sex talk? No, this has been fantastic. No, but I mean, you do have a huge podcast that I know you're excited about. Yes. I am. Thank you, Stu, for that unusual transition into something more safe. I'm going to tell you about that coming up in just a second. First, let me talk to you about relief. It's his job. That's what he does. That's what he's hired to do, you know? But see, Stu, I'm 60, so I don't care anymore. No, I've definitely noticed that.
Starting point is 00:15:14 There's no doubt. When you're 60, when you're 60 years. So, you know, you're just like, ah, that's grandpa. You know, we don't really take grandpa seriously. So don't worry about it. Because I'm using those words. I'm going there. I'm just going to use.
Starting point is 00:15:27 I don't care. Great. It's great to hear. It's always wonderful. It's going to be good for your career. It's going to be very good. Anyway, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's relief factor sleep.
Starting point is 00:15:39 If you're having a hard time getting to sleep every night, you know, or even on some nights, try relief factor sleep as if the day weren't hard enough to deal with. You go to bed and you're like, I listen to the Glenn Beck program today. I don't think I can sleep for another month. Take relief factor sleep. Um, millions of Americans have difficulty sleeping. Many of them turn to all kinds of different kinds of substances to help with sleep. And some of them, you know, I would compare it to a really bad blackout.
Starting point is 00:16:10 You know, anything that says, do not take unless in bed, ah, you probably shouldn't take. You know what I mean? Probably he could make some bad choices on that. Anyway, um, holy cow, is that what's happening to today's show? No? I take Z Factor from Relief Factor. Z Factor. All you have to do is just take it. It's 100% drug-free. It's all natural ingredients.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Help you sleep, help you fall asleep, sleep, sounder and longer. You can sleep right through the night. Rediscover the joy of great night's sleep with Z Factor from relief factor. ReliefFactor.com. That's relieffactor.com. 10 seconds, station ID. I'm going to tell you, I'm on all kinds of antibiotics today. So I am just flying high. So anything could happen on today's program.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Let's see. Well, let's talk about Annie Jacobson. Have you ever read any of her books, too? I don't think I have. You've highly recommended this most recent one, and I've heard a lot of good things as well. I've read several of her books. She's interested in all exactly the same things I'm interested in.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Nuclear apocalypse. Well, that one is kind of, you know, I kind of think that maybe we should be talking about that one a little bit. You know, Donald Trump was on with Elon Musk. And I'm telling you, he brought it up like seven times. Out of the blue, they'd be like, you know, Elon would be like, hey, yeah, but have you ever driven one of my cars? No, I'm telling you, the most dangerous thing in a world today is nuclear apocalypse. And it could happen tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Yeah, but we, I mean, it's like we have an iPad in between the sea. nuclear apocalypse. I think we should probably pay attention to this. So I asked Annie to come in, because she has this great new book. It's called, I think it's just called nuclear war. And she takes you minute, second by second, minute by minute for the first,
Starting point is 00:18:25 I think maybe two hours of a nuclear conflict. And it always ends the same way. and I brought her in and I talked to her about it. Let me just give you, this is a little frightening, a little frightening, from Annie Jacobson's new book, Nuclear War. This is how unprepared our leaders are. Cut 12. One of the most remarkable reveals that I learned in reporting the book was how unaware
Starting point is 00:18:59 world leaders are as to the realities of nuclear war. And at least that can be said about individuals, presidents of the United States, and that is based on their closest advisors, by the way. Meaning, you know, I think it was Bill Perry, another former Secretary of Defense, who said to me, you know, most come into office unprepared, they don't want to know. So again, it reinforces this idea that we'll never have a nuclear war. I have so many other things to work. worry about at home and abroad. So let me just focus on those things, including my popularity, at the expense of this existential threat that looms over all of us. And so for that specific reason in reporting the book, I wanted to take the reader from nuclear launch to nuclear winter.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Take them in seconds and minutes, as you say. Not bring them, not offer up my opinion or even the opinion of wise analysts about how this could happen or how leaders might feel squeezed, as you said, just what's going to happen? And I hope that all of the leaders around the world read this book and realize that's the most, you've hit upon the most important quote, by the way, Reagan and Gorbachev, nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. in reading this i i have shared it with so many people and the people that i that i take seriously and the people that i think are up to speed and are awake on what we might be facing i'll say have you read annie jay and they'll stop me yes it is absolutely terrifying isn't it um but there's so many
Starting point is 00:20:53 people that haven't read it that should. And it goes to the point, you know, when I saw the moment in the debate where Joe Biden, and I do not say this as a partisan, everybody was, everybody came out of that, worried about, oh my gosh, how can he run for, you know, and win against Donald Trump. He's not going to win. And all I heard in my head was most presidents, are not prepared. And when I'm listening to that section of when they're bringing the Black Book of Death Out and the decisions that he and he alone has to make,
Starting point is 00:21:34 I thought, I wouldn't be prepared for it. Nobody would be prepared for that. Okay? This guy cannot be the man with the football. It is part of my podcast. You have to hear her answer on this. And let me just, can we play Cup 22, please? This is Joe Biden yesterday in Baltimore, trying to speak in front of a crowd.
Starting point is 00:22:02 The legislation led by Senator Frank Church that let Medicare negotiate the cost of drugs. Play cut 21. I don't like being played for suckers. We believe we should be patient. But there should be reasonable problems. Not unreasonable. What? I mean, the guy should not be president of this.
Starting point is 00:22:29 the United States. He should be removed from office. Read Annie Jacobson's book or just watch my podcast. It's out now for Blaze subscribers out wherever you get your podcast tomorrow on nuclear war. I think we've forgotten how real and how frightening that really is. All right, let me ask you a question. What are you truly an expert at? Most of us have at least one or two things we're really good at. Some of us are not really good at anything, but we can do a lot of different things. Some hobbies we're okay with, and then everything else we kind of suck at. That's the way the world is. That's why we have different people and experts that can just do things that we could never do.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Well, when it comes to buying and selling a house, you might think that it's easy, but it's extraordinarily complex. And you have to have somebody who's really at the top of their game, especially in the new digital world. You can have a real estate agent that can blow up balloons and hope people drive by on a Saturday or Sunday. for an open house, or you could have somebody who has already just tilled the ground and has buyers waiting for a house like yours. This is why we formed real estate agents.i trust.com to give you that kind of agent. Real estate agents, I trust.com. You just, you just alert us on where you are, what you're trying to do, you're buying, selling from across the street or across the country. Real estate agents, I trust.com. And it's blazecTV.com slash glend. The code,
Starting point is 00:23:59 Ouchie lied will get you $30 off. Your subscription to Blaze TV. Stu's in a mood today, so drag the show down yet again. He's in a mood. And he's not in the same mood I'm in. In fact, his mood is the exact opposite of my mood. And, well, America doesn't appreciate it, still. It doesn't.
Starting point is 00:24:41 It's Friday. I'm very happy. I'm glad I think their country's going in a good direction. I can't see any problems. So I'm in a good mood. It's Friday. We're supposed to do what every good American does on Friday. and that is screw off.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Okay? There you go. And then Monday, we also have to screw off a little bit and not really to screw off. Yeah. Yeah, but recover from the weekend so you don't really put in the full effort. All we need is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, three shows a week that are just solid. The rest of them, you know. And Wednesday's sort of hump day.
Starting point is 00:25:13 You can't really be expected to do good work on a Wednesday. Right. That's crazy. And you're usually planning fun on Thursday. So really a Tuesday is a good. You're going to get a good show for at least once a week. You'll get a good show for him us. And today is not that day.
Starting point is 00:25:28 But let me tell you that we have the Montana Attorney General on with us is Austin Knootson. I think it's, now I should have asked, I can't remember, do you pronounce the K or not? Austin, are you there? Knudson, yes. It is Knudson. Okay, I thought it was. So, Austin, you are going to talk to us about Biden bucks, but I asked Stu, who's really up on things, but he's in a mood, look out.
Starting point is 00:25:56 And I asked him, what are Biden bucks? And he said, that could apply to a myriad of programs they're doing. This one specifically goes to the executive order on getting people out to vote. Can you explain what Biden bucks are? Yeah, I can, Glenn. And thanks for having me on. And a pleasure to contribute to your screw- off show. Okay, good, good, good, good. Right. So don't worry about the facts. You can kind of get a little
Starting point is 00:26:29 loose with them today. Yeah, good. It's Friday. Yeah. We picked the name Biden Bucks because this is like Zuckerbucks. What you have here is the Biden administration wanting to get involved in what sounds kind of innocuous, right? They want to get out the vote. We want to make it easy for for folks to vote. So what this executive order back in 21 did is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris directed the administration and all their executive agencies to every time there was a federal touch on a citizen to provide them voter registration information and ways to get registered to vote and information about voting. And no directive really if this was between just federal elections or state elections or local elections.
Starting point is 00:27:24 And some really egregious stuff here. But here's what this comes down to, you guys. And you guys know this. That's not a constitutional power given to the federal government. States regulate their own elections, period. That's been longstanding federal law. That's been longstanding constitutional jurisprudence. This is a job that your local election offices,
Starting point is 00:27:47 and more importantly, your state secretary of state's office handles. This is a power grab. This is pure partisan politics. And it's bad news. So what are you doing in Montana to stop this? And what should we be doing? Well, I got with eight of my Republican Attorney General colleagues, and we've sued. It took us a little while to get all the information and to do the homework on this one.
Starting point is 00:28:15 but this was egregious enough that we decided the only thing we could do is sue in federal court. Oftentimes, that's the only arrow in our quiver, Glenn. But we've sued it, we've sued in federal court in Kansas. We've asked the district, the federal district judge to block this executive order to enjoin it. And ultimately to throw it out as unconstitutional. So did you get a chance to actually read, did you get a chance to actually read the executive order because Congress has been asking for this executive order from almost the day that it was issued, which was the first week in office, and they won't ever share it with anybody. Did you see it?
Starting point is 00:28:58 We've seen portions of it, but what we have seen is some of the federal agency's own implementation policies for this executive order. Because you're right. I mean, this goes back all the way back to House Resolution 1. The federal congress, has not ever done this. I mean, this is a liberal Democrat panacea. They have wanted this so bad for so long. But specifically since Donald Trump got elected, the idea here with Democrats in D.C. is, well, we'll just take over national elections. It's never been done. People might not know that, but that's a state function. So some really disturbing stuff we've seen in the implementation, probably the scariest one.
Starting point is 00:29:47 The Department of Justice, the Federal Department of Justice, is registering felons to vote. Well, the problem with that, Glenn, is that's illegal in Montana. We do not allow felons to vote in Montana. So we've already got a conflict here between this executive order and the federal level and our state law. So we really didn't have a choice here. So, Austin, tell me how this is going to work out
Starting point is 00:30:11 because, I mean, because they've stonewalled for so long, and we couldn't find any information on what they were doing. I mean, I've been on this since the first week of the Biden administration. And nobody could get any information. Now, here we are in August. We're, what, 12 weeks away? By the time you get into federal court, September maybe, what can be done? Well, we're hoping to get a rapid injunction here.
Starting point is 00:30:42 That's the hope is that we got this in front of a federal judge, we can get a restraining order and any injunction quickly here before too much damage is done. That's what we're after here. So that's why we've moved as fast as we have, hopefully fast enough. But that's what we're asking this federal judge for. Boy, Austin, I got to tell you, it is really hard to believe in our system of voting. It is really hard because it seems to me that everything, that can be done to, I mean, if you were designing a program to convince people that your vote
Starting point is 00:31:25 didn't matter, I think you'd pretty much do everything that they have done in the last eight years. And, you know, we talked about corruption. We were penalized by social media because we, six months ago, talked about, hey, there are back doors in these voting machines. and we were penalized and said it was false news, fake news, you know, misinformation, yada, yada. So they suppressed all of that. And then the group that always does these, you know, every year they do a,
Starting point is 00:31:58 what do you call it, when they get all the hackers into one place, and they try to hack into the voting machines. And they said, it's easy and it's happening and reported the same thing we reported. But now, conveniently, it's too late to do anything. I'm very concerned about the vote. Yeah. The good news about it, Glenn, for me is people are paying attention. I mean, and people are really concerned about this.
Starting point is 00:32:24 I can't go anywhere and do any kind of a talk, an event, a speech, a rally. It doesn't matter. This is what people are talking about, just everywhere I go. People are paying attention. The word is out. There's a lot of concern out there with the American people over their vote, over the security of the election. And I think that's what is bringing all this attention to it.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Now, we have to be diligent. I mean, we have to keep up the fight. We can't just roll over here. I can't just tell people, well, just trust us. It's all going to be fine. That's my job. I mean, we have to make sure that Montana's rights are not being violated here. So, I mean, that's what's led us to do this stuff.
Starting point is 00:33:09 And the great thing is it's not just. just me. You've got a lot of other really great Republican state attorneys general who are also fighting this fight. On another unrelated topic, can you do anything to arrest Kevin Costner for not finishing Yellowstone? Well, if I'm being real, if I'm being real honest, I mean, Montana's got tired of that, we're a little tired of that show. Our legislation lets the movie tax, well,
Starting point is 00:33:43 Our legislature let the movie tax credit expire. That's why this last season is not even going to be filmed here. So, and I don't know. It sounds like something Mr. Costner had some of his own personal stuff going on. Yeah, I know, I know, I know. But you can look into the arresting him thing. Just look into that. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I want the ending. I'll see if I can compel here, yeah. Okay, all right. Really, you were sick of that because I think that made, well, I mean, you know, wait a minute, they went over state lines. The train station was over state lines. So, yes, they might have been killing people in Montana, but they buried them someplace else. But I think that just made the state look beautiful.
Starting point is 00:34:21 And unfortunately, if I were in Montana, I would be saying, yeah, it looks a little too beautiful. Now we're going to get all these. Now it's going to turn into Jackson Hole. It's already happened to Bozeman. I don't recognize Bozeman. I went to college there. I lived there when I was a kid. That town is completely Jackson-Hold.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Jeez. I hate that. All right. Thank you so much, Austin. I appreciate it. That's the Montana Attorney General Austin, Austin Knudson. I got to tell you, what? He was funny. He's just like. He's great. He's great. I love it. The, you know, have you ever been to Jackson Hole?
Starting point is 00:35:01 No, I don't think I have. It is really beautiful, but they've just destroyed it. It's like New York City now, and it's all these liberals. And so now they, you know, it's because it's such a big county, they really have sway in the vote for Wyoming. And every time I come here, we moved to a place that literally has 400 people in it. And the next biggest town over is the home of the first nighttime rodeo ever in the country. And the county fair is happening today. and there's pig wrestling last night.
Starting point is 00:35:40 And I think they're playing cowboy poker tonight, which is you get people to sit around a poker table in the middle of the arena, and then they release a bowl. And the last person seated at the table wins. But that's kind of fun we have. And you don't have that in Jackson Hole. You know what I mean? You don't have any cry babies going,
Starting point is 00:35:59 oh, he could get hurt by the bull. Yeah, well, he knew that when he got into the ring. So leave him alone. You got to move into a farming community if you're going to move someplace. move into a farming community telling you. Farmers, they know where it's at. They got it down. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:36:16 It's so weird. I think that's where we went wrong as a nation. We got away from the agricultural backbone of this country. And when you're on a farm, you don't have to talk to your kids about the birds and the bees. They see it all the time. Daddy, why is that cow on top of the other one? Well, look what happens to the,
Starting point is 00:36:38 the cow on the bottom, you know, in just a few months. Oh. You see everything. And you understand how nature works and how everything is dependent really on God. You can be the greatest farmer in the world. But if it doesn't rain, you lose. And that, you know, there are things out of your control that, you know, that's not fair. Well, life isn't fair, is it?
Starting point is 00:37:03 You can be the best farm in the world and go bankrupt. And most farmers do. but you can be the best farmer. If it doesn't rain, it doesn't rain. And that, in turn, teaches you to be a good neighbor. I just think we should go back. There's a lot of that I like. Damn electricity.
Starting point is 00:37:23 That's why I think where I'm landing on this, because you're right, the lessons learned, the foundations provided by that type of upbringing and life really does bring you, create character, right? It really creates the type of character that America was built on. But, I mean, like, Outer Mongolia is still a farming community. Like, I don't want to go back to it. No, I don't want to go to Outer Mongolia.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Right. Like, you know, I've got to be, yes, I have to be, I don't have to be, but my wife has to be 30 minutes from a Costco, okay? Right. That's when we're moving someplace, she's like, is it within 30 minutes of a Costco? If it is, great. By the way, kiss Costco's goodbye if Kamala Harris. gets her way on this price control thing,
Starting point is 00:38:10 you won't be able to have Costco's. So you're going to vote Kamala Harris. You're going to love it. Back in just a minute. We have to get into the Costco thing because, I mean, certainly there's going to be empty shelves on almost every supermarket in every supermarket. But I'm curious as to why Costco in particular is that threat here.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Well, any of the big discount stores, any of them. All right, let me tell you about the burner launcher. You can never take your safety or the streets you know, thinking that they're safe in America anymore. Can't take it for granted. One of the main reasons to carry a firearm, you know, when it's appropriate, is because you just don't know what's going to happen. But what about when it's not appropriate?
Starting point is 00:38:52 What about the times where you might need some force, but not deadly force, especially in today's world? And I, this is the best example. You're walking out of your business if you happen to work downtown. And all of a sudden, there's a protest and you're sitting in there. and you're trapped. Well, if you have a burn a launcher, you have tear gas. You know, you're driving through the streets and they surround your car.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Burn a launcher, you have tear gas. It is a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home. And really, unfortunately, every minute of your life and your family's life. It's legal in all 50 states if you're over 18. You can pack it in your luggage that's checked without a need to declare it as a firearm because it's not. It looks just like one, but it has powerful determines. deterrence like tear gas in kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range, and they hurt. All right, it can incapacitated an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

Like, we put our money into our homes, and that's kind of where it lives for a very long time, unless some cyber thief gets a hold of it, because your equity is vulnerable to a little crime called home title fraud, home title theft. It's one of those things that is happening all across the country, and these homes and titles are stolen every single day with home title theft. It's been one of the fastest growing crimes in America for a while now, but it's really one of the least well-known because you just don't think about it, right? Like, I mean, your home's title, it seems like the type of thing that you should be able to set it and forget it, right? But that's not the way it works with home title fraud. People get in, they hack your documents, they act as if

Starting point is 00:42:18 Yeah. Welcome to the program. Glenn, I hear you talking about like the charms of farm life and all the things that doesn't. And I agree with so much of what you're saying. But like, then I think about the fact that a cow has to produce milk and somehow that milk needs to be formulated into butter. And, and that's a lot of work. What I like is opening up the drawer in my refrigerator and there's just butter right there. That's what I like. And that's I. So I get it, but also I don't want to live that life. Like, okay, for instance, I am very, very, very blessed and fortunate. I have a ranch and
Starting point is 00:42:54 and a farm. But I only get into the tractor when I want to. Hey, that looks fun. I'm going to cut that down. I'm going to cut that. Is that alfalfa? Yeah, I'm going to, you cut it, right? Yeah, let me do it for a while.
Starting point is 00:43:11 And then when I'm bored, I, you know, when I'm like, okay, I've had enough of this. I just turn the tractor off and somebody else gets in. That's the kind of farming I like. It's like Fantasy League farming. That's what you want. Yes. It is.

No, I don't know a company that is dedicated to making everything all the way down the line like American Giant. You are, by going there, you're telling people like Levi's, I might love your jeans, but I don't like your stance on America and you don't make anything here.

Starting point is 00:45:51 Well, yes, according to the Atlantic, and I'd like to agree with them. I'll tell you about her. 60 seconds. Stand by. First, let's talk about your cell phone service for a minute. I know it's probably an uncomfortable subject for you. You're probably paying way too much, but really the price of everything, everything is way too much. And if you really dig into it, just a little bit, you might notice some things that major mobile phone companies are doing with the money you're giving them every month, like helping Planned Parenthood, which is not only an abortion mill, but also now
Starting point is 00:46:26 they are the leading distributor of hormones. So you want to make sure that not only can we kill your kid, but kill the babies, but we can also make sure that women take all kinds of hormones, little girls, so they can never have babies. Oh, it's just a great system. Anyway, Verizon is one of the big contributors to Planned Parenthood. Get off Verizon. What are you doing? Switch to a better, less expensive company that's not.
Starting point is 00:46:56 going to gouge your eyes out. It's Patriot Mobile. And right now, when you make the switch to Patriot Mobile, you're going to get a whole month for free. Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian conservative mobile company, their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always. And they do that every single day. It's patriotmobile.com slash back or call 972 Patriot.com. 972 Patriot, patriotmoble.com slash back. You know, Stu, we were talking just a little while ago about, you know, some of these, some of these people online that have decided to, you know, really rough it up. I'm really not that guy, you know. I love, I love the mountains.
Starting point is 00:47:45 I love, I live in a town with 400 people. I love the town, you know, it's just, this area is just so great. And it's all farmers. I love that. But I'm not a farmer. You know what I mean? There are ranches here. I have one.
Starting point is 00:47:59 I have a farm, but I'm not a farmer nor a rancher, you know. And it's, I guess I think you and I are at the age where we're the last ones that, you know, we'll die of old age or this administration. We'll die of old age and, you know, whatever. Because we're lazy. But the rest of America, the younger generation, the smart ones are realizing, I think the lazy times are over. Well, first of all, I'm shocked.
Starting point is 00:48:31 You think either one of us is going to die of old age? I'll take a bet on that one, the opposite side. Well, no, I mean, it could be a heart attack because we have a cheeseburger stuffed in our mouth, but we'll be old. Yeah, okay. Well, I hope. Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, I think it's, it's, it's, there's an interesting strain of, I think it's part of the conservative movement in a way.
Starting point is 00:48:56 And I find it to be interesting. You know, it goes, you know, it goes. sort of like adjacent to the Joe Rogan thing and it's adjacent to maybe the, what is it, Huberman Labs and it's not exactly conservatism, but it is, what? Go ahead. I was going to say, it's not exactly conservatism, but I think it's adjacent to it in that like it's this embrace of, you know, hard work, but also like, I want to say pain, but difficulty, right? It's an embrace of difficulty.
Starting point is 00:49:26 It's understanding that the old saying that, you know, hard times make hard men, right? Good men. Good men. Strong men. Strong men. Whatever it is. That whole thing that I can never remember, especially on the fly, is like, there is something about that.
Starting point is 00:49:42 Like, I have friends who get up every morning and do the ice cold water, you know, dip. Oh, yeah. I tried it. Incomprehensible to me to start a day that way. Like I, they swear by it. It makes them a better person. Ice cold shower, whatever it is. I know.
Starting point is 00:50:02 I can't even comprehend doing that to myself. And it's very, I'm weak. I get it. I know. There are people that get up every morning and they're like, you know, I'm going to go to a job and I'm going to work hard. And I'm like, have that it, dude.
Starting point is 00:50:16 You should try my job. It's really, really sweet. It's really sweet. I've never broken a sweat. Never. Anyway, except with Katie Corrick. But that was sweat of anger. Anyway, let me tell you about something I just read in the Atlantic,
Starting point is 00:50:33 because Allie Stucky is kind of that person, you know, she's willing to do the hard things, like actually read the Bible. You know what I mean? And there's a story in the Atlantic, conservative women have a new Phyllis Schlafly. If I were, I mean, I would have this, I don't know. engraved in a silver plate that I could hang from the wall if I got that kind of compliment. I don't know if they mean it as a compliment, but that is a huge compliment. 32-year-old Texan hosts Relatable with Ali Beth Stucky,
Starting point is 00:51:12 a podcast in which she discusses current events and political developments from her conservative Christian perspective. Stucky is neither a celebrity provocateur in the style of her fellow podcast host Candice Owen, nor the soft-spoken trad homemaker who thrives in the Instagram ecosystem of cottage core and sourdough bread. Now, see, I am for those people, because you get sourdough bread at the end of it. Stucky is a different kind of leader in the new counterculture, one who criticizes the prevailing societal moors in a way she hopes modern American women will find, well, relatable. The vibe of her show is more millennial mom than Christian soldier. tuckie usually sits perched on a soft white couch while she talks her blonde hair in a low ponytail
Starting point is 00:51:59 wearing a pastel colored sweatshirt and sipping from a pink Stanley cup but those plush surroundings issue from those plush surroundings she issues a stream of stern dogma in between monologues about the return of low-rise genes stucky will condemn hormonal birth control even within marriage and in vitro fertilization she has helped push the idea of banning surrogate parenthood from conservative movement fringes to the forefront of Republican politics. Her views align closely with those of Donald Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance, and fits comfortably in the same ideological milieu as the Heritage Foundation Presidential Blueprint Project 2025, which recommends, among other things, tighter federal restrictions on abortion and the promotion of biblical marriage
Starting point is 00:52:46 between a man and a woman. Unlike many of the commentators primarily focused on owning the libs, Listen to this. This is from the Atlantic. Stucky has an integrity and sincerity. Amy Binder, a socialist, sorry, well, she probably is this too, but a sociology professor at John Hopkins University told me when I asked about Stucky's appeal. She said, quote, there's a sophistication with Allie, shot through with knowledge about the Bible and linking it up with choices that women are making today. Owens, who has had Stucky on her podcast, told me that Stucky is the person, you hope your daughter will grow up to be because of how well she embodies the Christian values she espouses.
Starting point is 00:53:32 That's tremendous, tremendous. They talk about how she got to this place. She noticed during the presidential primary season in 2015, something that surprised her, many women her age, didn't seem to know or care about the race. Stuckey began visiting college sororities and speaking to young women about politics and theology. She launched a blog called The Conservative Millennial and by 2017 she had quit her publicity job and was recording commentary for Glenbeck's network, The Blaze. Fox News would sometimes call her for comment. Stucky moved online network to conservative review TV and started the first iteration of relatable.
Starting point is 00:54:15 After the Blaze and CRT TV merged, Suckie's podcast went on YouTube, where she released. one new episode of Relatable each week. She now releases four, and she does it on the blaze. And it is a great show. It is really a great show. Congratulations, Allie Best Stucky. I hate to say, I told you so, but I told you so. She is a, you know, it's so heartening to me who has been doing this for so long.
Starting point is 00:54:45 And really realizing about 2010, it's not going to be my general. We're not going to save it. It's not going to be my generation. It's going to be the next generation. And to hope and pray that these people found good food to eat to really strengthen themselves in knowledge and everything else. To see them coming up is just, it's one of the greatest joys of my life. If I could ever mentor really good potential talent like I haven't done with you know with Ali she's she's a talent on her own but that's the greatest joy of my life to see people come up through the ranks that are better than me and can really well let me say be relatable and know how to um how to talk about things and you
Starting point is 00:55:46 know part of the thing about her knowing how to talk about things is she's just real and so few people in this business are actually real. They're not like that. You know, one of the things I saw, you know, have you seen Ballerina Farms on Instagram, Stu?
Starting point is 00:56:03 No, I've not. So you got to check this out. It's crazy. Ballerina Farms is this woman. She lives in Utah. She has like, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:56:11 47 kids. And they all churn butter happily, apparently. She's absolutely stunningly beautiful. Her house is beautiful. Um, you know, her husband is, you know, I don't, you know, he's a saint and, and also, you know, the hardest working man in the world. You know, they're living a life that I would never, I could never live. It's just too hard. Um, but she actually lives it. And, you know, I've tried to get
Starting point is 00:56:40 her on the show many times. She's a fan of the show. Um, and I'm a fan of hers and, and try to get her on several times. She's like, we're churning butter all the time. We're turning butter. We're churning butter. We can't, we, we got to go, I don't know, shear the goats and milk the chickens and do all of those things. They live it. You're sure you're not a farmer? Milk the chickens guy? You seem so so authentic from you. I got to tell you, I have been, they have breasts, don't they? I've been trying to milk those chicken breasts forever. And I am going to get milk out of them one of these times. So anyway, you know, I just, because that's just too hard. Oh my gosh, it's too hard to live that way.
Starting point is 00:57:24 You know, I'm having a hard time just living by my own set of principles. Just be a man of integrity and honor and let your word be the word. When I think of, people ask me all the time, what's my favorite word? I say, it's the word. But, you know, actually living a life of integrity is hard. Is hard. Now you want to throw work on time. of it too and a job and kids homeschool the kids i'm milking the chickens when am i going to have time for that i think that's why you have to have big families because at some point you do you know you do
Starting point is 00:58:06 really well with one and then you know you have to teach us to your siblings because i'm tired and i think that's what it's for you know it's really i think that's why you're supposed to have kids yes Yes. That end getting up on ladders and things, you know. Right. Or getting your, you know, get me a so. Hey, hey, get up. Go get me a soda, will you?
Starting point is 00:58:29 That's, you know, that's way. And when you're there, get some Doritos too. If there's none there, keys of the car or on the counter there, just go to the store. I know you're eight. I trust you. Go to the store. That's the way I grew up. Is it?
Starting point is 00:58:46 Is that the way you grew up? because it's done wonders for you as you go to milk the chickens. Yeah. You should listen to me. I'm a recovering alcoholic. I've had two wives. I know women, okay? You've only had one.
Starting point is 00:59:01 I've had two. You're going to listen to. Did you think this is a, because I think it's a, it seems to be a long-term movement. It doesn't seem to be a fad to me. It's like people really do long for this return to this world. So here's what I think everyone is feeling. Everyone is feeling this doesn't work. And all of this commercially processed everything is not good for you.
Starting point is 00:59:29 It's not good for the soul. Everything that's happening online, not good for the soul. Everything that's happening in our society, not good for the soul, not good for the body. All the food that we eat, not good for us. And the way we live our life where it's like, get me another bucket of chicken. Make sure you deliver it on time. I need it in 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:59:53 You know, it's just not good. Society's not going to work that way for a long. And so I think people want to return to really being authentic. And here's the problem with that, Stu. Like, I remember when it was, you know, we were poor, and I had to have a hole in my jeans, and my mom would patch it, and everybody made fun of us having patched jeans.
Starting point is 01:00:13 because you just go out and get new ones. Now we're buying holy jeans, and we're doing it because we want to feel like, you know, we're out there in the grass. You know, I was out there, I've been so active, I've been doing stuff. I just wore through these things.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Like, come on. You want something authentic. I got to show you, I got to show you something like it. It's shameful. It's shameful. But I can show it to you here in a second. Give me 60 seconds.
Starting point is 01:00:39 I'll be right back. Let me tell you about Relief Factor. If you're in pain, relief factor is a way to get rid of that pain. For 70% of the people who try it go on to order more, I'm one of them. I really didn't think this stuff would work. I'm like, yeah, it's all natural ingredients, you know. It's got rhino horn in it or whatever. By the way, it doesn't have rhino horn in it.
Starting point is 01:01:02 If it did, it would probably be, you know, even bigger. But anyway, a relief factor is 100% drug-free daily supplement that helps your body fight pain naturally. developed by doctors, it uses a unique formula of natural ingredients that addresses the inflammation in your body, which is where all the pain starts. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 8004 relief, 800, the number four relief and save on your first order. 800, the number four relief, relief, relief factor.com. 10 seconds, station ID. You know, I will say, as Glenn goes to get this thing he wants to show us, I get that it is,
Starting point is 01:01:47 these are great principles and stuff. but like you keep saying things like, ah, these things, the way we're eating, the thing, the life we're living is just bad. It's obviously bad. Well, we have increased life expectancy from 31 to 78. No, no, no. I know.
Starting point is 01:02:02 I mean, I don't know. Is it bad? It seems pretty good in a lot of ways, though the principles going away, I think, are the problem. Yeah. So, but this is how, I mean, this is so shameful. Don't tell anybody. Don't tell anybody I said this.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Okay. Because I know this is shameful. All right. So I have a friend who is actually a hardworking guy, and he lives like a mountain man. His name is Bart and his wife is Peggy, and I love these two people. And they actually live the life. You know, they invited me to go camping with them in the winter. And I'm like, what?
Starting point is 01:02:40 And they're like, yeah, we go up to the mountains and we dig, you know, they're like, you know, six foot holes. And I'm like, a grave? Yeah, we dig them in the snow. and then we just lay there in the snow, you know, you can watch it all and you're nice and warm. And I'm like, none of that sounds fun. Okay. So he comes over, and this is one of his older hats. He has so many of these hats.
Starting point is 01:03:01 And I just love all of them. Now, this one's really beat, okay? But look at this, look at this hat that he has. Now it's got bare claws on the front, okay? And it's clearly been worn for a very, very long time. And so he comes over and he's wearing a hat. hat little like this but less beat up and I said man Bart how do you get how did you get your hat to look like that that looks really great and he's like like what and I'm like well all this is that
Starting point is 01:03:31 what is that he's like that was my sweat from hard work I wear it when I'm working and I'm like okay I'm not willing to do that do you have can I buy your hats when they get like that So he brought this one over for me. And he's like, you're not going to, I'm not going to sell it to you. He said, but I was going to throw it away. So you want a hat. Here it is. And I looked at that and I thought, you know, somebody like Ralph Lauren would sell this in a store in New York for like $1,000.
Starting point is 01:04:03 I talked to him and I'm like, hey, you want to get in a New York scam? We could sell these hats to New Yorkers for like a thousand bucks. All you have to do is actually. work in them. You're already doing that. We could make a fortune. That would actually work, by the way. I think that would actually work, sadly. And that is our society today. It really is. We had a higher up from Ralph Lauren, a friend of ours at the house this summer. And I said that to her, you know, kind of joking. And then Bart came over and she's like, listen, you want to do it? And I'm like,
Starting point is 01:04:44 Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you're not cutting in on my thing. No, no, no, no, no. What are you doing? No. No, if somebody's going to run this scam, it's going to be me, you know? And he said, Bart, if this isn't perfect, he said, she said, I worked for Ralph Lauren. And he said, oh, oh. And he looks at me and he said, who's Ralph Lauren?
Starting point is 01:05:09 And I said, you know, the polo pony guy with the, you know, the, you know, the shirts and he's like no and Peggy his wife just laughed and shook her head and she's like he really doesn't know Glenn and you know we barely know I love you guys I love you that's great love you
Starting point is 01:05:27 they're just authentic I like hearing about the authenticity of farming from a guy who has Ralph Lauren executives over to his home that is it's so you want to talk about authenticity it's not an executive you said a higher up
Starting point is 01:05:41 well yeah Well, okay. She's a friend. The basis of farming comes from people like you, Glenn. You're just a hardcore man of the soil. No, I'm just exploiting their authenticity. That's all I'm doing.
Starting point is 01:06:02 Yeah. I mean, don't try to paint this into something tawdry and humiliating for me. Don't you try to do it. All right. Back in a minute. I probably shouldn't have said that whole story. I know it makes me look bad, but come on. I'm not, I don't work hard.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Listen, let me tell you about leave home gutters. Yeah, I'm not the one getting up on a ladder. I'm not. I'm too lazy. Honestly, too many people work, you know, at the company, and every time I try to get, because I don't mind getting on a ladder and changing lights and everything else in the studio.
Starting point is 01:06:43 And they're all like, Glenn, for God's sake, get off the ladder. You fall and we're all fired. And I'm like, well, I'm not going to fall. But anyway, but at home, when my wife wants me to get on a ladder, it's different somehow. And I'm like, but that's why we had a boy. Okay? It's why we had a kid.

Starting point is 01:07:49 We're going to get some really good Soviet policy. Harris wins. We might get a good national anthem out of it because Soviets had the best national anthem, but, you know, they had to murder people to get it, I guess. Gold today is up 50 bucks. It's now over 2,500 hit 2,500 for the first time in history. And it happened in the eight hours after she said, you know, price controls. Good. You want to know, Stu, answer the question, what is gold? a hedge against. I would say inflation, but also insanity. Yeah, I always say insanity, but it is a known forever,
Starting point is 01:08:33 a known hedge against inflation. It goes up that much and hits $2,500 for the first time in history. Right after she says that, you know how good she's going to be for inflation. Okay? What do the rich people know that you don't know?
Starting point is 01:08:50 I don't know. Well, they know about gold. Have I mentioned Lear Capital? This is not a commercial, but you should call Lear Capital today. You should, okay? Because it's only going to get worse. The more it looks like she could win,
Starting point is 01:09:03 the more expensive gold is going to get. Mike Lee is with us, Senator from the great state of Utah. Hello, Senator. How are you, sir? Hello, I'm doing great. And, you know, what a great way to start the segment with the Soviet National Anthem. She was very, very, very, very, doesn't it?
Starting point is 01:09:21 Yeah, it's really great. We've got to get used to that. What do you think of the price controls? I saw your thread last night. It's fantastic, Mike. Tell me about price controls. Thank you. Yeah, I was talking about that on my base Mike Lee account on X. But price controls are really bad. They're really good if what you want to create is scarcity. If what you want to create are black markets. if what you want to create is a federal government that's in charge of distributing assets, distributing goods, who gets what. But they're absolutely terrible for every other reason, including it especially alleviating the pressure put on the poor and middle class by a federal government that spends too much
Starting point is 01:10:05 and regulates oppressively. So, you know, other than that, it's great. You know, what is amazing to me is how willing they are to throw grocery. stores under the bus, the average grocery store profit was 3% in 2020. 3% was the profit. Their profit now is down to 1.8. So for every dollar that goes through that store, they only take almost two cents from that dollar. That is the average profit is about 8%. So anything over 8%, you're really doing well on profit. There's is 1.8, and she's accusing them of gouging.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Farmers are going out of business, and she's accusing them of price gouging. It's obscene what she's saying. No, it literally is. And in fact, almost any time you hear a politician, say the word gouging or price, they're almost always talking about something that involves getting the government
Starting point is 01:11:13 involved in what is fundamentally a market decision. We must always be a free market decision. Not because you are calloused to the needs of the poor and those hardworking people who are living paycheck to paycheck, but because you are in tune with those needs. Because I'll tell you this, Glenn, the only thing that will put pressure on prices is itself competition. And when you start talking about price gouging, that leads to price controls. We start talking about price controls. That guarantees prices will never come down. It guarantees more critically that you will be perpetuating whatever it is that's causing this price pressure. Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:53 Causing the problem with hardworking people. Yeah, you'll have scarcity like nobody's business. I mean, that's why the Soviet Union didn't have anything on the shelves of their stores. You go to the grocery store, there was nothing there. You'd have to stand in line for toilet paper or milk. And, you know, you could stand in line for three hours, and then they could say, all the milk is gone and you would go home with nothing. It is, it's, it's really, really bad.
Starting point is 01:12:19 And she is, I said this on Wednesday before she announced this. And it's the only way I could describe her. I said she is the Hugo Chavez of the Maduro of America. If this, if she gets in, we will become Venezuela. Yeah. And look, Venezuela a few decades before they got involved in this whole hog socialism thing. And I'm sure she'll tell us, and I'm sure the Soviets told their people with the breadlines. Oh, the waiting in breadlines, that's purifying.
Starting point is 01:12:52 That's good for the soul. Americans know better, we're not going to do this. We can't make this choice. And if we do, it'll be one of the worst choices we've ever made. So, Mike, you and I talked about getting out of NATO. I mean, we could have just called each other, but we did it over X this week. because when we saw the European countries start to say, hey, X, Elon Musk, you can't talk to that presidential candidate.
Starting point is 01:13:23 When he offered it to Kamala Harris and she turned it down, it's interesting to me that they would have the balls to do that to America, which shows me that we may not have been involved, but we didn't mind them doing that. And so there's a couple of questions here. One is, you know, were we involved in encouraging that at all? And the second thing is, this is the problem with all of this globalist stuff. They now can pass laws in Europe that will affect us.
Starting point is 01:14:00 And we're all going down the same road, and it's a road to hell. No, it certainly is. And look, as I said on an X the other day, that was fun, by the way, having that communication was. It was. But look, as I pointed out on the X the other day, I find it unfathomable that we didn't have somebody on the inside of the U.S. government of the Biden administration, that is to say, that didn't either encourage or at least tell them that it was okay to say that.
Starting point is 01:14:32 And let's remember what it is that we're talking about. The EU's attempt here was essentially to extort Elon Musk to tell them, we're going to regulate the heck out of you. We're going to fine you. We're going to do whatever punishing the EU can do. If it has to air this interview with Donald Trump, because that could expose European citizens to misinformation. Now, I think we have to view that one.
Starting point is 01:15:00 It's something that fundamentally changed our relationship with these longstanding European Union allies. 22, we have the 27 countries that belong to the EU, also belong to NATO. And they've been writing on our big fat checks and our big fat security assistance for decades, which we disproportionately
Starting point is 01:15:18 provide to them. That puts us on the line, puts U.S. blood and treasure on the line if they get attacked. So I think in moments like these, we need to start to reassess our relationship with them as far as trade, as far as our military alliance, and otherwise. Because this
Starting point is 01:15:34 is messed up. They weren't really worried about what this would do to European citizens. They were trying to meddle, interfere with, and influence the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. And that's bad. That's not something allies do to us. But it's not, you know, it's not coming just from the EU, Mike. All of this stuff, remember, the World Economic Forum, their number one thing they said they had to address this election year in the world. There are more people going to a ballot box than any other time. in human history this year. And the politicians were starting to sweat
Starting point is 01:16:10 because the WEF and all of their things have been exposed. The effects are starting to be felt. And so the number one thing over global warming or anything was misinformation. And Klaus Schwab said, we have systems for this and everybody has to play their part. And politicians don't get weak need. Trust the system.
Starting point is 01:16:33 And that's what's happening. They're all in on this with the WEF. This is not just a few people's idea. This is the governments around the world going rogue. You agree with that? Yes, I do. Because you remember that the European Union has these 27 countries that belong to, 22 of which are NATO member states.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Now, some people now are trying to say, oh, this was just one rogue commissioner, theory, Bretton, you know, France representative from the ECs. No, nonsense. They were all just fine with that. They were all on board with it completely. Just as I suspect people in the Biden administration probably gave them the okay if they didn't encourage it themselves.
Starting point is 01:17:20 This is what they do. This is the kind of crap that they pull. Why? Well, because they're all on board with all of the WTF stuff we see coming out of the W. We, and it's got to stop. Can I ask you in the same subject, this monkey pox thing?
Starting point is 01:17:38 You know, we got bird flu and monkey pox right before an election, and the WHO issued a global emergency order. Are we going to go through COVID stuff again? Oh, but my dead body. And look, Americans are going to put up with this crap. I don't know if you saw the reaction when the WHO,
Starting point is 01:17:59 the World Health Organization, put up that advisor. the other day. There was just a widespread outbreak. No, we're not falling for that. You can't pull that trick twice. That nonsense. This has so many other differentiators, so many other reasons why this is not the same as COVID. We shouldn't have fallen for that the same way we did. We're sure as that not going to fall from this one. I have to tell you, you know, we've grown up in an atmosphere. You and I, both have a little older than you. In fact, probably a lot older than you. and I'm looking at everything that's going on.
Starting point is 01:18:34 And I've heard every election my whole life. This is the most important election in our history. It's so important. This is kind of it, isn't it? This is like last call, guys. Are you going to go with socialism? And I kind of like the fact that I wish they would just be honest about it a little more. But their records show.
Starting point is 01:18:54 And, you know, Tim Walz has said, you know, one man's socialist is another one, is another man's neighborly. they've shown who they are. And if America will look, we have an honest choice here between socialism and capitalism and the American way of life and this new world order kind of way of life. This is kind of it, isn't it? This is it. And that's one of many reasons why it's so important that we make sure that only American
Starting point is 01:19:26 citizens are voting in U.S. federal elections. And we've got legislation that I've introduced in the Senate that Chip Roy is pushing in the house. It's called the Save Act. You can find out about it at a website that we've set up, specifically for that purpose. Pastasasavec.com. So pastesavec.com. This is a bill that we're talking about that would require in order to register to vote in a federal election, you'd have to prove that you're a U.S. citizen.
Starting point is 01:19:54 Something that we've all long assumed is the case anyway. but the Supreme Court a few years ago interpreted a federal law stupidly in my view, but they interpreted a federal law is saying that they can't require you to prove that at the time of voter registration if you're registering through the motor voter law. The same act would stop that and impose criminal penalties for giving a ballot to somebody who's not. Do we have time to do this, Mike? And is there a chance that it'll be passed and signed?
Starting point is 01:20:23 There is, I think one, we attach it to a spending bill. Congress is going to have to confront a spending bill between now and the end of September. When we reconvene in September, I hope that we can attach the SAVE Act to the spending bill and say, this is part of funding government. This is one of the conditions. We have to make sure that only U.S. citizens can vote. The only way that will happen is if people really rise up, you know, and just social media spread it. the phones to Congress and it becomes a big thing.
Starting point is 01:21:03 And it should with the conservatives, I think, you know. And I really believe the average Democrat, you know, I talked to a guy who was, you know, big in the Democratic Party or a big donor in the Democratic Party a few years ago. And he said, you know, you guys and your no ID for voters. And I said, excuse me? And he said, well, you guys have been pushing that forever. And I'm like, no, you guys have been pushing.
Starting point is 01:21:28 that we're the ones for idea ID and he was an educated guy you just wasn't you know in politics all the time he was an educated guy a smart guy and he was like really that's us and I'm like yes dude yes yes most people are for it Mike thank you so much god bless you thank you lunch good to be with you you but you couldn't talk to him all right let me tell you about our sponsor the sapphire it's good ranchers you know the meat you're buying at the store where does it come from you know it'll have the little flag sticker product of U.S., but that's only if they can ship the beef over as live cattle or just sides of beef.

Starting point is 01:23:43 I don't know how they're going to separate. themselves from this economy. But here's Kamala bragging about passing the inflation reduction act. Listen. Two years ago as vice president, I was proud to cast the tie-breaking vote that sent the bill. Power to negotiate president's death and Joe Biden signed that bill into law. So what that bill was was the Inflation Reduction Act, which they have admitted now that was all global warming. That was the Green New Deal under a new name. It is one of the main reasons we have such a problem with inflation. One of the main reasons is the Inflation Reduction Act. And she cast the deciding vote in the Senate as vice president. She's responsible for this
Starting point is 01:24:49 economy. The Glenn Beck Program. We have Dr. Epstein in, don't we? Is he in studio or is he on the phone? At least on the phone. On the phone, I think, yeah. Yeah. He's got a lot to say about what is actually being done. You know, he thinks this Google, you know, ad thing is no big deal. He said he thinks it's a distraction by Google to distract you from what they're really doing. And he's the guy that would know.
Starting point is 01:25:24 We're going to talk to him about that. Coming up in just a minute, standby. Well, hello, America. We're so glad that you're here. Thank you so much for tuning in. So one of the big stories this week, I guess, has been that the Harris administration has been changing headlines in ads to make them look like these networks are saying even better things than they already are. I mean, it doesn't make any sense. And the defense is that this happens all the time.
Starting point is 01:26:55 Yeah, it does, but I think everybody's missing the point. Those are the Google rules, and that's fine. But the people who are saying to us, we are hunting down all mis, dis, and malinformation should not be the ones that are mangling headlines to lead you to believe something is that it isn't. Isn't that the real point? We have an expert on what Google's really doing

We don't have our guest on yet.
Starting point is 01:29:08 Okay. All right, well, we're just going to sit here and wait. That's not, no, that's not, that's not how the industry. It's Friday, man. Friday, everybody's screwing off. Everybody, I mean, I have worked almost two hours now, okay, with only a break about every 10 minutes for five minutes. Every 10 minutes, I take a five minute break, and you try to
Starting point is 01:29:31 keep up with that, okay? Just tired. It's a really, the pace you put yourself on and the arduous life you live is something that will be studied in future. Oh yeah, really? You're mocking it. You try it. You try it. Okay. Well, not you in particular.
Starting point is 01:29:49 Right. I mean, other people that don't know how easy this job is. Right. They should try. It is important to note that life has become much easier. for since the the farming uh since everyone had to farm and get their own food it has become much easier that does create some problems but uh it does it does because then we start going you know what
Starting point is 01:30:16 this they're they're not delivering my food fast enough i got it in 10 minutes i called i just got on a nap and i ordered food you know i'm sick of it Okay, Dr. Epstein is on, so we can talk to him now. Doctor, how are you, sir? Yes, sir. How are you? Robert, are you on? It's Glenn.
Starting point is 01:30:41 Pretty stressed out. How are you? You're stressed out? I'm sorry to hear that. It's Friday. Yeah. So we just wanted to talk to you. This stuff with Google that's been in the news this week is, I think, is, I think, is is a giant nothing burger because it is that that it is that that happens all the time.
Starting point is 01:31:08 However, my problem is with the administration, not necessarily with Google. The administration is saying that we are avoiding, you know, we're the guardians against any kind of misinformation. And yet they're making, they're putting misinformation out into the system. But that's not illegal yet. And Google is fine. you are the guy who has been on the trail of what Google is actually doing. So we're not distracted by stories like this. What is Google actually doing to change the election right now?
Starting point is 01:31:41 Well, the key word here is distraction. So I'm glad you mentioned that because I think Google itself is actually spreading these nothing burgers. It's actually distracting us because they don't want us looking at what they're really doing. So what they're really doing... So wait, wait, hold on just a second. You think this is actually coming from Google and they're the one spreading it? Absolutely. Of course, they determine, remember, they determine what goes viral and what doesn't.
Starting point is 01:32:14 They have total control over that. So if people are really talking about stuff, you know, it's because they're spreading that information. They're like magicians. They're saying, look over here, look over here, because they don't want you looking at them. So what are they? Go ahead. We are looking at them. So we have built the world's first, and this is, by the way, with the help of your audience several years ago, we have now built the world's first nationwide digital monitoring system.
Starting point is 01:32:57 So if people go to Americas, Maness, AmericasdigitalShield.com, AmericasidigitalShield.com, they can actually see a public dashboard where you'll see the data that we are collecting 24 hours a day right now from a politically balanced group of more than 15,000 registered voters in all 50 states. and we're actually looking at the real content that Google and other companies are sending to registered voters and to children, by the way. So we're seeing what they're really doing, what they're really sending. We're seeing their manipulations. We're seeing the political bias and their content. And it is staggering. So just to tell you, a quick example here, right this minute, Google is sending registered to vote reminders.
Starting point is 01:33:54 to Democrats at two and a half times of the rate they're sending them to Republicans. Now, that's called targeted messaging. That's right on their homepage, which is seen more than 500 million times a day in the U.S. So that targeted messaging costs them nothing. And those messages are going to turn into partisan mailing your ballot reminders, and then they're going to turn into partisan, go vote reminders, and we're capturing all of that now. So we're actually the evidence.
Starting point is 01:34:35 I am looking at your website, and this is amazing. I wasn't aware of the website. Looking at the dashboard, you have elections likely flipped by Google, and these are actual election results. you say in 2020, Joe Biden was the winner. Then in 2022,
Starting point is 01:34:58 Arizona governor, Katie Hobbs was flipped with 50.5. 3%. Raphael Warnock, he was flipped. Tony Evers, that was flipped. The two Senate majority flipped. Then you go down to with the results
Starting point is 01:35:16 without Google's interference, the winner in 2020 would have been Donald Trump, the governor of Arizona would be Kerry Lake, Herschel Walker would be in, Tim Michaels would be in in Wisconsin, U.S. Senate would be a two to eight seat majority for the Republicans if it wasn't for Google, and the House, a 27 to 59 seat majority. That's incredible. Well, that's not, it is incredible, and it's actually the truth, because we have gotten so good now at figuring out what they're doing, which again, they don't want anyone looking at them, but we're not only figuring out what they're doing. We're actually now capturing the real data,
Starting point is 01:36:04 and we're working with federal and state officials around the country, with AGs, with public interest groups, selection and integrity groups to figure out how we can use this massive database that we're collecting to put more. and more pressure on them to stop, to get out of our elections and get away from our kids. This is amazing to see. I see that you're monitoring Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, et cetera, et cetera. What are you expecting to find in YouTube, Yahoo? What are you expecting to find on these?
Starting point is 01:36:42 Well, YouTube, we know for sure, because we've gotten really good at monitoring YouTube. What YouTube is doing is, you know, those recommendations, that they make and especially that one of the top of the Up Next video that plays automatically. Okay, two things you need to know. Number one, according to literally Google officials and whistleblowers both, 70% of the time that people are watching videos on YouTube around the world, those videos were recommended by Google's Up Next algorithm. them.
Starting point is 01:37:23 70% of the videos, 70% of the time people are watching videos, they're watching recommended videos. So in other words, those recommendations have tremendous power over people. They determine what people watch. The up next video plays automatically. If you pick no video at all, it just plays automatically. So that's power. That's incredible power.
Starting point is 01:37:49 And the second thing you need to know is that what we're doing is looking at of political bias in the videos. We look at the news sources that they come from, and we're finding extreme political bias always in one direction that is always in the liberal direction on YouTube, and that has no effect, by the way, on people who have strong opinions, but it has a big effect on the undecided voter. That's the key here.
Starting point is 01:38:22 I have to tell you, Robert, that I'm so thrilled for the success of this and how you've built this out. I know you still take donations. So you just go to America's DigitalShield.com and look at the information that he has. And I'm glad to hear that some people are starting to take this seriously. I was talking to somebody the other day about Netflix and about AI. and the guys at Netflix said that their AI, their understanding of their viewers is so strong that they've turned it down because they said that people would find it uncomfortable
Starting point is 01:39:04 because it would be right all the time. And with AI, what can be done to individuals, because you've talked about this with the, with the way that there's no tracking of it. There's no way to track. You can turn an individual one way or the other quite easily, right? Oh, yes. And as a matter of fact, in fact, that we just submitted a new paper for publication
Starting point is 01:39:35 on what we call DPE Digital Personalization Effect, which is literally, literally people can look at the manuscript at digital personalization effect.com. And in this study, we're looking at what happens when they personalize content. And, you know, if they send biased content to someone who's undecided, that has a big effect that produce a big shift in people's thinking and opinions and votes. But if they personalize the content based on everything they know about you, that effect will triple.
Starting point is 01:40:10 It will triple. and they have all that information about us. They're surveilling us and our kids 24 hours a day, and they're personalizing the content that they send, which maximizes the impact of these manipulations. So, Robert, I have to take a quick break, but I'd like you to answer this question when we come back. Where is the point of no return?
Starting point is 01:40:37 Where is the point to where we can't, we don't know if we actually have free will and what's been manipulated and how close are we to the line to it's not coming back back with more in just a second by the way the website again is america's digital shield dot com check it out let me tell you about the international fellowship of christians and jews which i'm i'm pleased to be a part of i will do everything i can as a Christian to stand with the Jewish people. It doesn't mean I agree with, you know, everything that they, you know, they are. I don't know how to even describe that.
Starting point is 01:41:22 Politically, I disagree a lot with Israel, but I know the score here, and I also know history. After the assassination of Hezbollah's senior military commander recently in the assassination of the head of Hamas, the Israeli defense force is still on high alert in, preparation for an attack. If that happens, Jews all across Israel could be forced to spend days or even weeks in bomb shelters. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the forefront now in Israel since the beginning of the war, addressing the needs of the most vulnerable, and that's why I'm partnering with them today. And you can too. Your life-saving donations will help provide emergency food as well as critical security things like flack jackets,
Starting point is 01:42:07 firefighting equipment, armored vehicles, bomb shelters. You know, I'll tell you a story one time that right after the attack started, one of the guys that saved a lot of people actually was driving an armored vehicle that was given to this community by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. And he saved a lot of people because people like you helped. Right now they're looking. for 500 of my listeners to join the fellowship and me by donating $150 to meet these urgent security needs. And thanks to a generous IFC supporter, your gift is going to be matched.
Starting point is 01:42:49 That will double the impact. So please go to supportifcj.org right now. Supportifcj.org or call 888484848IFCJ. That's 888-48-48-I-F-C-J. 10 seconds, station ID. So we're talking to Robert Epstein. He is the senior researcher and psychologist that has been looking at social media, and in particular, Google. He is a guy who's voted for Hillary Clinton.
Starting point is 01:43:33 He's not a conservative. He doesn't have an axe to grind. His thing is just, he's kind of like the anti-Edward Bernays. and if you know who that is, you'll understand. If you don't, you should look it up. But Robert is with us again. Hello, Robert. By the way, you probably know who Edward Bernays is.
Starting point is 01:43:54 I don't mean that as a compliment that you are the anti-Bernays. Tell me where we get to a point of no return, or do we? Let me put this in context for you very quickly here. everyone has heard of that old farewell speech of Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1961, where he warned about the rise of a military industrial complex. But I went back and re-read that speech, and he also warned in the same speech about the rise of a technological elite that could someday control public policy without us knowing, and he warned that we had to be vigilant. And I can tell you this now, to answer your question, the technological elite are now in control. They've probably been in control since roughly 2012, increasing, consolidating their power over the years. But they're now, they control so many votes.
Starting point is 01:45:06 In this year's presidential election, Google alone can shift between six points. million and 25.5 million votes. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Yeah. And except for this monitoring system that we have set up, which is now the first and only such nationwide system in the world, except for that system, no one would have any idea. I know. I know.
Starting point is 01:45:37 I know. I know. And I have to tell you, it is, it's happening all over the world. And, you know, Google, people should know, Silicon Valley was financed by the U.S. government. You know, there's a ton of DARPA and CIA money in Google and everything else. This is the deep state as well. It's terrifying, really, really terrifying. Robert, as always. Go ahead. Go ahead. I was going to say this is bigger than the deep state because they're controlling more than 5 billion people around the world. They're bigger than any government has ever been. At this point, have they switched power seats? Who has the power?
Starting point is 01:46:23 It is the federal government. Who's afraid of the other more? Well, the federal government is still working very, very closely with Google. And just as you, I'm sure you're aware, just a few weeks ago, the Supreme Court issued a crazy. ruling basically saying okay federal government you can keep working with these companies I know it's crazy it is crazy thank you so much Dr. Robert Robert Epstein again you need to go to america's digital shield.com learn more and if you can donate and help every day you're assigned the list you know the one I'm talking about right I was just upstairs so I know my
Starting point is 01:47:11 wife's not listening so I can say it you know the one that your wife gives you you and he's like, hey, I've got these things done this weekend. And you're like, okay. And then you don't do them because, you know, I'm not going to do that. Anyway, that list gets longer and longer and longer. And there's always a job you forgot. One of those things was cleaning out the gutters.
Starting point is 01:47:32 When's the last time you cleaned out the gutters on your house? I honestly am the kind of guy that, oh, I forgot we have gutters. And, you know, it's a problem. It's a problem. And I know that because we had to replace some of the siding on our house because it had been so damaged because our gutters were filled and not looked after. Gosh, darn, that boy of mine, I'll tell you, what they get a leaf filter now from leaf home gutters. It's a filter for your gutters. It will help protect your home from all of the bad stuff.
Starting point is 01:48:06 So I want you to go and get this right now. protect your home with America's number one gutter protection system. You can find it now at leaffilter.com slash Glenn Beck. Leaffilter.com slash Glenn Beck. So the podcast tomorrow is with Annie Jacobson, who is, I think, one of my favorite writers and one of my favorite investigative journalists. She was a Pulitzer Prize winning finalist. And it's honestly, it's weird.
Starting point is 01:49:05 I mean, she would probably hate me saying this because I don't know where she stands politically. I just always assume. But it's like we're brother and sister. I mean, we just think so much alike. At least we're curious by the same kinds of things. She's written the new book, Nuclear War. And I was talking to her about that in three other books of hers that she wrote because I was just curious about her viewpoint on some things that I'm struggling to try to figure out. And after the interview was over,
Starting point is 01:49:38 we were talking in and I asked her another question. I said, I'm really concerned about this. And she just smiled. And I said, what? And she said, that's the topic of my next book. She said, you're going to love that one too. She just gets it. But as I was thinking about, you know, good journalists, I thought there's Schellenberger now, Cheryl Atkinson, Barry Weiss, Annie Jacobson. Who else do? We talked to Selena Zito the other day, who's doing a great job as she has been for many, many years covering Pennsylvania and so many other areas when it comes to the heartland of the country.
Starting point is 01:50:20 She's great. Yeah, she listens to people. Steve Baker is quickly becoming one of my favorite investigative journalists, mainly because, you know, what they're putting him through. it's obvious that he is on the right track. But I don't think we couldn't have done that 10 years ago, could we? You just list off a bunch of people. Yeah, that are top quality people that you can go to that we don't necessarily agree with, but, you know, politically, but they actually are pursuing the truth.
Starting point is 01:50:53 Yeah, no. I mean, I think there is a movement and there are some people who just look at it. And I think this is mainly caused by how far the left has gone in such a short period of time. Like people who were on the left or in the middle look at how far the left has gone and say, like I, I don't know that I'm conservative, but I can't be that. Whatever that is, I don't want to be with them. Yeah. It's just liars, really.
Starting point is 01:51:18 I can't. I couldn't. Could you imagine, Stu, spending your whole life, trying to do something, you know, of meaning and then have people come in and start telling you, no, no, no, you can't report that, you can't talk about that, you have to do this, and those things are not nearly as important,
Starting point is 01:51:38 or you know are wrong, you know, the Russia collusion thing, all of that. My gosh, I don't know how they live. I really don't know how they, they function as a human being. There's got to be such cognitive dissidents in their life. Yeah, I mean, Barry Weiss is a great example
Starting point is 01:51:53 just following that, where they hired her as like a top, editorial person at the New York Times. And she went through, you know, a bunch of stuff behind the scenes, but eventually steps down largely because she was, you know, upset with the direction of things were going. They were firing, you know, editorial directors because they were allowing U.S. senators to write op-eds. Like, you know, it was like crazy.
Starting point is 01:52:18 Yeah. And it got so crazy. She started her own thing, the free press, which a lot of the people that you mentioned have written for, which has been a really good addition to the media landscape. and now the New York Times just wrote a hit piece on her and her new effort. That's how that was like a few years. And that is like from her being the hero there to the ultimate villain there in just a few years. And she's no conservative.
Starting point is 01:52:40 Well, I mean, look at, I mean, we want to talk about that. The fastest turnover of the press is Kamala Harris. Yes. I mean, that was in a day. That was in a day. Yeah. That was crazy. They leaked things.
Starting point is 01:52:52 Just crazy. And wrote everything that people in the Biden, White House hated about Kamala Harris. They wrote every little bit of it for three years. And within a weekend, she went from literally this hated person. No one wanted to work for her. She was stupid. She failed on all the tasks she was given. And she turned into Rosa Parks Times Barack Obama in like 48 hours. I know. It's crazy. So let me tell you another story we haven't talked about. I want to get to this podcast. And we'll we'll do that as soon as we can. But listen to it. It is. It is. is with Annie Jacobson. It's on nuclear war. This is a fantastic book that I think everybody should read.
Starting point is 01:53:33 We have forgotten about nuclear war. We don't have the collective memory anymore of how bad nuclear war is. And when Donald Trump was talking to Elon Musk on Monday, he brought it up at least seven times. Nuclear war, nuclear war, nuclear war. He'd bring it up out of the blue. And just say, look, so it's something really on his mind. And I think it should be on the mind of every leader and every citizen. We cannot go into World War III with nuclear weapons. We cannot do it. So listen to that.
Starting point is 01:54:13 It's available now for play subscribers and also available for everybody. Wherever you get your podcast, that's tomorrow. You don't want to miss that episode. It's really good. but one thing we didn't talk about today yet, that I find absolutely remarkable. I don't know if you heard, but Secret Service kind of fouled up a few weeks ago.
Starting point is 01:54:39 President Trump was almost killed. Have you, by the way, seen the videos, too, where they put the marksman site on his head in real time with the video? So it shows where the marksman was in. aiming as he fired the bullet. Yeah, I've seen this, at least a version of this. I don't know if we're talking about the exact same one, but it's incredible. It would have gone right, almost right in his temple.
Starting point is 01:55:05 It would have been John F. Kennedy. Okay. And he turns right at the right moment. And I mean, it's a fraction of a second. It's unbelievable. And it just grazes his ear. But it would have gone right through his temple on live television. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:55:24 It's just crazy. So we haven't seen anybody really lose their job. We haven't seen any disciplinary action. We haven't heard of anything they're doing differently. Now listen to this. This sounds like a Babylon B article. The U.S. Secret Service left former President Donald Trump vulnerable to attack after a female agent reportedly abandoned her post to breastfeed her child during an event.
Starting point is 01:55:54 in Asheville, North Carolina on Wednesday. Okay? This is after the guy is almost killed, the person, listen to this, shortly before Trump's motorcade was set to arrive in the area,
Starting point is 01:56:10 the site agent in charge overseeing all security for the event took one final sweep of walking the route, according to a report, um, um, and she walked
Starting point is 01:56:24 and then during the last minute security check, they're walking this thing and they find her breastfeeding her child in a room reserved for, quote, important secret service official work. Now, not only was she in there, but her family members were in there. And they had gone past Secret Service without a check. Now, this is wrong for a couple of reasons. obviously the secret service is not protecting their assets. There is nothing more important than the protector protecting the protectee.
Starting point is 01:57:11 If you are on that job, you're not doing anything else. How hard is this? You're not doing anything else. You're not taking phone calls. You're not reading texts. Even if you're standing back behind, see, you are doing your damn job. You certainly don't have your family bring your baby
Starting point is 01:57:30 while you're in charge of it and breastfeed your baby. Now, I could, this is not about breastfeeding. However, I'm going to make it about breastfeeding, but that's in part two. This is not about breastfeeding. This is about do your damn job. as somebody who has seen the Secret Service up close,
Starting point is 01:58:01 they are not protecting the president, the vice president, and the former president. They are not qualified anymore to do it. God, when will somebody wake up to this? Are we going to have to have a president shot or a candidate shot? I'm worried about any candidate at any time getting shot. Do your job. And if your baby interferes with that, then you should retire or take a hiatus.
Starting point is 01:58:36 Okay, now let me make this about breastfeeding. Are we really a country that thinks it's okay to have somebody who their job is to put their body in front of the body of somebody that is being targeted. Are we really a society that thinks it's okay for a mother who is still breastfeeding that we're all cool with her being the one taking the bullet for the president? I mean, nobody wants to lose a dad either. Nobody wants to lose a mom, you know, and teenagers in the house. I get that.
Starting point is 01:59:22 but she's still breastfeeding the child. To hell is wrong with us as a society? Oh, we got to stand up for women. We got to stand up for women. Well, nobody's standing up for women. Oh, yes, we are. Those are men. They're not women.
Starting point is 01:59:42 Those are men. And you dismiss and diminish women every time you stand up for a man in a dress who says he's a woman. You degrade women. Now, I know you're not supposed to hold the door open for anybody. I'll tell you it. I give my kids the lecture. They are so familiar with it, but they're happy that they've been raised this way.
Starting point is 02:00:12 But they stick out like a sore thumb. I told my daughter, don't you ever get into a car with a boy who doesn't open the door for you? You just stand there. If he gets in, you just stand there. Don't say anything until he gets out
Starting point is 02:00:24 and he'll probably say, what? I don't know. Open the door for me. My daughter does it, and it's a test. It's a test. And my son does the same thing. He opens the door every time. And I know you're not supposed to do that because women are strong enough.
Starting point is 02:00:43 Yeah, I get it. Out of respect, out of common decency, can we not have this? Can we not just say, hey, you know, take a couple of months off, you know, at least until your baby, you know, you for some reason can't pump. But, you know, even if you're pumping, your baby is still dependent on you. Take a Secret Service job that doesn't require you to stand as a shield for the president. It's a Treasury Department, man. They've got a lot of stuff you can do.
Starting point is 02:01:24 One more thing. members of my security staff have been on jobs recently and you know they'll stand back as they are you know I'm doing something and the president is there and so my security and secret service
Starting point is 02:01:45 they just talk you know while we're doing stuff and he was talking to one of them one of my guys was talking to a secret service agent and how long you've been guarding the former president. Oh, they just shoved me here. What?
Starting point is 02:02:06 Yeah, they just put me here. It's not the job I want. I don't want to be doing this. I really want this job, blah, blah, blah. May I ask then, why the hell are you on that detail? That detail used to be something that was honorable that you'd kill to be on that. team, that that was the highest honor. Now we're putting people on that are like, I wish I had another
Starting point is 02:02:36 job. I don't want to do this. Secret service is out of control. It's out of control. Somebody has got to save the Republic. And it ain't going to be the secret service. You keep your eyes peeled when you're at events. All right. More in just a second. I saved that for the last because I knew it put my voice out. Rough greens. You know how your kids are always complaining because, you know, I don't like dinner. It drives you crazy, right? Your dog never does that.
Starting point is 02:03:12 Your dog may not like the food, but he eats it and eat. You know, you might have to, in my case, I had to hand feed Uno because he just would lose interest and he wouldn't eat. And we tried everything. When I heard about rough greens, I talked to Dennis Black, he's the guy who came up with the formula for this. And I talked to him. And I said, you know, I know it's really good for the dog.
Starting point is 02:03:34 And I brought it to my vet. And my vet said, if you can get your dog to eat this, this is fantastic for him. And I said, look, I just want him to eat the kibble food. You know, Dennis, will he actually eat food? Because I can't hand feed him anymore. And he said, oh, yeah, Uno runs to his bowl now. It's amazing. Please, it's really good for your dog.
Starting point is 02:03:58 Your dog, if you have a problem with your dog eating, you just sprinkle this stuff on. it and they love it. It's Rough Greens. RUFFGreens.com slash back. Roughgreens.com slash back or call 833, Glenn 33. Previous content identified as a rant. You're welcome. Or we're sorry.
Starting point is 02:04:20 The Glenn Beck program will be right back. He's going to speak in a minute, but there's a lot of love in this room for our president. They love them. They love them. that guy so much. They sure do. They love. Can you feel the joy in that cliff? Can you feel it? Incredible amounts of joy. And they just love him. They love him so much that they had to remove him after he won the primary and participated in a debate on stage as the nominee. And they just need to just throw him to the side like a piece of trash and put in, I don't want to say
Starting point is 02:05:26 another piece of trash, but another candidate in to replace him. And that's the joy. And that's the joy of the Kamala Harris campaign. By the way, beautiful speaking voice she has. That's not going to be irritating people at all over the next few months. I'm sure that's going to hold up really, really well. AAA 727 back is the phone number. Have a great weekend. I hope you do, and we'll see you back on Monday.
