Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to aboard of Viarai. Embarked and profite. Embarked and relax. Ciroat. Bookine. Oh, that also. And profite. Viarai, the voice that we love that we love.
Starting point is 00:00:15 Let me talk to a little bit about my Patriot supply. Whatever you do, do not be caught on the wrong side of food shortages. I was just looking at a chart this morning about what's happening on our farms and our ranches. We have 70% of the farmers that say they had to destroy their crops. 70%. There's going to be some expensive groceries coming our way and some food shortages. Please, please, prepare with glen.com. Grab your three-month emergency food kit for $250 off the regular price.
Starting point is 00:00:51 Save again, $250 today going to prepare withglen.com. That's prepare withglen.com. All right. So Brian Stelter, huh? Brian's Delta. Choices, choices, choices. Hello, America. It's Friday.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Today, on the program, a lot of great news for you. But I want to start with a threat to our democracy. This is, I'm not saying it's a threat to democracy. It is the left that has now kind of coalesced around a set of ideas about who you are. And we... That's one topic we could talk about today. Any others? Yeah, we have news on Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Yeah, Donald Trump, but he's a former president. That's always an interesting guy to talk about. Anybody else? You want to mention today? Anything else? Are there other personalities that maybe you'd want to... to discuss, you know, maybe their futures, uh, what's going on in their lives.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Anything, anything from that particular arena? I don't know what you're talking about. You know, Stu, there's two ways to go on stories. Yeah. Always two ways to go. And, uh, I'm wrestling with which road to take. Oh, I want to see you wrestle.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Yeah, do you? Yeah. Yeah. Maybe you can explain the thought process to the audience coming up here in just a minute. What do you think? Let me tell you about relief. Penelope lives in Texas as she got older. She started having aches and pains all throughout her body.
Starting point is 00:03:38 She found that she could no longer walk up the stairs without having to stop every little bit. That's why God invented elevators. I'm just saying, I mean, right, right? Why would he give his legs when, you know, there's automatic stairs and chairs that now can be just, you know, you can sit in the whole time? And they'll move you around from room to room place to place. I'm just thinking. I'm just thinking. Anyway, Penelope says, I really would like my legs. Okay. All right. So she tried Relief Factor.
Starting point is 00:04:11 She decided she'd give it a try within three weeks. She noticed her pain was almost totally gone. Penelope got her life back and so could you. Relief factor. It's not a drug. It was developed by doctors to be able to attack inflammation, which is the main cause of pain in our body and, quite honestly, the main cause of disease in our body is. as well, and it attacks it four different ways with four different ingredients. Try it. 70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to order more month after month. It's Relieffactor.com. That's Relieffactor.com or 800, the number four relief.
Starting point is 00:04:46 804 relief relief. Relief factor. Feel the difference. So, what's going on in your world, Glenn? Anything you want to talk about today? I mean, there's obviously something you want to mention. that I want to mention. No, I don't have, I mean, I guess what you could do is take an inventory of the news stories of the day, right?
Starting point is 00:05:09 And then start to think about if you had any personal connection to them. Let me think. No, that's going on. Well, no, I don't have any personal connection to any of those stories. Do you? Is there any personal connection you might feel to any of the major news stories of the day? You know, for those people who are listening right now and they may not follow the news and have personal connections to the news.
Starting point is 00:05:33 They may be wondering, what are you even talking about? Oh, well. And we're talking about a potential story that you might want to discuss today. Yeah. About an individual. Oh, I really want. From CNN. Well, there's two ways to go.
Starting point is 00:05:52 And the two ways to go would be one would be very fun, very satisfying. Sure. Funny. Funny. Entertaining. Right? Yeah. And the other one would be Christ-like. You know, the Bible not always hilarious. I'd noticed. No, but usually right. Yeah, almost all the time. Almost all the time. Yeah. Yeah. So it's not that big of a struggle. It's just I'm fighting the urge to be very, very funny. Well, maybe it's worth instead of talking about today's news to look back at history, you know? Like, for example, let me look back in the annals of history to about four years ago when I was watching CNN and there was an interview on TV and the host of the show,
Starting point is 00:06:49 the show's name was a reliable sources. I believe this easier. And I believe the interview was supposed to be about one thing. I can't remember at all what that was coming. together or something like that. But then it took a turn about halfway through. Uh-huh. And the interviewer started talking to the interviewee about how much trouble his business was in.
Starting point is 00:07:14 We have a clip of it? No, come on. Oh, really? No, no, no, no, no, come on. No, well, she's saying, because I was trying to describe it, and I can only do that so well. If we have the actual audio. Get behind me, Satan.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Get behind him. One's arguing justice. One's arguing mercy. or they say they are. But they're not. All they're doing is playing politics, and the American people are tired of it. Who is talking about an actual solution on this?
Starting point is 00:07:39 Who's actually done something? Who's actually consistent and cared when it was a Democrat in office and cared when it's a Republican in office? You know, those people exist around the country, and they're watching you two, the media and Donald Trump play in this little game back and forth, and they're sick of it. They don't want to hear about it from either side.
Starting point is 00:08:03 I want the critique because I invited you on. I'm self-aware enough to know that we need to talk about this because I know it's a problem. The mainstream media is having a very hard time. The main time, the mainstream media is having a very hard time reaching Trump's base. That's a fact. We see that in all the polls.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Yeah, well, then here's the deal. Brian, you all have my phone number. I've reached out to all of you in the past and said, let's have a conversation not on the air. You really want to understand. You want to hear the other side. Why can't our viewers have a conversation where everybody's not interested? Because it's all about ratings.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Because this is all about ratings. Is this bringing it back? This isn't about rating. This is about saving our country, bringing us together. See, that's nice. Stop dividing us. I mean, you, I can't. So to be clear, you think that I'm dividing the country.
Starting point is 00:08:51 You think I'm dividing the country for ratings by booking you? Brian, stop drive. Look at what, look what you're doing. doing? When did this become about you? This is about the media and the administration. That's what you guys want to make it into. It was about me. I would do like a 10-minute counter the way you used to. Listening to me. If it was about me, I get out of Blackboard the way you used to. Oh, he's, is he being, is that Christ? Maybe I should. I mean what you mean is making it about me. I don't see how I've made it about me. I want to know how. It's not about it.
Starting point is 00:09:26 you just never mind look Brian if you want to have a conversation the media really wants to know great we can have that conversation but every time someone every time I've approached
Starting point is 00:09:40 everybody always says yes but as soon as it gets tough or uncomfortable nobody's interested nobody's interested in looking at themselves and saying what did I do I know what I've done I know what I've done I've tried to make amends and I'm trying
Starting point is 00:09:56 Yes. And we've talked about that before. I completely agree with you. And we all do need to be more self-reflective. I do have to ask you, there's this new headline on The Daily Beast saying that your company's in trouble, that you were trying to find a buyer. Is this related to the point about people not talking to each other that if you want to create that media company, there's not interest? What's going on with that? Wow. Brian, thanks a lot. I think that's the most ridiculous question. I've ever heard. I'm sitting here ready to talk to you about the detaining of children and parents and trying to
Starting point is 00:10:35 break families apart. Something that has been happening with Janet Reno. That's why it went to the Supreme Court in the first place. With Janet Reno, it's been happening. We want to stop it and you want to play those games. Have a nice day.
Starting point is 00:10:51 What game did I just play? Okay. See, Glenn? Now, yeah, of course, as you pointed out, there's two ways to go with a news story. And one of them is being incredibly Christ-like, as you were trying to be in that interview there. But Brian Stelter was interviewing you about how your company was failing. It's weird because we're, we're sitting here at work for that company right now.
Starting point is 00:11:16 And I don't know what Brian's doing, but not the same thing. Is there anything that you would want to bring up on that? Because as you point out, there's two ways to go with every news story. Did that help bring you back to the moment a little bit, watching that clip once again and watching all the quizzical faces of Brian Stelcher? I don't understand. I don't understand how you don't think. Okay. Let me take a quick break here and talk to you about the Tuttle Twins books.
Starting point is 00:11:47 If you haven't checked out the American History book by the time. Are you okay? You seem like you're a little foster. By the Tuddle Twins right now, you're running out of time on their offer. I'm strong. I'm strong. I am not what not going to do. The Tettles twins are great books. Did they cover history? Did they cover this 2018 interview? The audiobooks and the workbooks that go with it right now. You've got one more day.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Kids don't learn history in school the way it should be taught. They mostly learn the dates and the places and the names and the stupid questions. They need the deep story. They need to learn the ideas that makes our country work. I want you to go right now. Today is your last day. You want your... It is Friday, isn't it? Thank God it's Friday. By the way, I'm going to Gettysburg.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Going to Gettysburg. Gettysburg. I'm going this weekend. I'm doing a history thing up in Gettysburg with a bunch of great people. And that's a sign of a great battlefield right there. Where people, where people, you know, just couldn't control their anger. and couldn't work together to work things out, you know what I mean? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Mm-hmm. Yeah. So anyway, Tuttle Twinsbeck.com. That's Tuttle Twinsbeck.com. Do it now before the offer is gone. They're throwing in audiobooks, workbooks, and so much more. They are, you can go there now and you get the deal of the free sample chapter before it's too late. That's Tuttle Twinsbeck.com.
Starting point is 00:13:18 10 seconds station ID. Oh, no, it's not. It's a good exercise. It's not good. I just told Stu as we were taking that 10 seconds. seconds break, 10 second break. That's really hard. Stop it. Well, I think you knew I was going to antagonize you to see if you would break on Brian Stelter, but you didn't know that the video of that interview was coming.
Starting point is 00:13:47 And just to watch you kind of relive those moments. Okay. The excited smug nature of... Do not clout when your enemy falls, when he stumbles, you do not let your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see it and disapprove and turn... His wrath away from him. Look, I... Just saying... I would agree with...
Starting point is 00:14:09 Thought of the day. Thought of the day. By the way, we should mention Brian Stelter got fired. We didn't mention that yet, but he got... He's got let go. Show canceled. 30-year show. Could not survive. Brian Stelter.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Wish him well. I will say this. You know, the lesson here is not to do that in 2018. And some of the other things Brian has done through the last few years. And I pointed this out to people yesterday who only know Brian Stelter from this recent turn. You know, this turn in the Trump era where he became a left-wing media critic. Get closer to the point. But like what I was saying was I remember him from when we first started on cable news.
Starting point is 00:14:58 He reviewed your very first show. It wasn't, I wouldn't say positive review, but it was, It wasn't the worst review we've ever had. It was fair. It was fair. And he's written some of the most fair pieces about you at times. A long time ago. A long time ago.
Starting point is 00:15:14 And I honestly think he's a really good example of what the Trump era has done to a lot of people in the media. It's broken them. Their anger against Donald Trump has changed a lot of people who, yes, they may have been liberal. Yeah, they may have been Democrats. They may have been left leaning, but it has changed them into completely irrational actors. I don't think that's the only thing.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I really don't think that's the only thing that has happened. It is also a result of your world being so small. They're in New York City, and New York City comes to New York City. I mean, the world comes to New York City. Sure. And, you know, they're working at, you know, these places where you have global. reach. And so you think that you are the globe and you're very informed and you know everything because look, I'm with the best people and the best people from all over the world. And it's so
Starting point is 00:16:16 cosmopolitan here. It's not. Your friends are all exactly the same. That's not real life. I agree with that. I definitely agree with that analysis. But that analysis existed long before 2016. No, I know. But the hatred. I know. But the hatred. I know. But the. But the. hatred of Donald Trump and the political agenda. Not everything was political. See, right now, you cannot talk about anything without it being political. Sports, political. You know, the Big Pebble Beach car show is watching on CNBC this morning.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Big Pebble Beach car show. That's political as well, because they're going to be talking about the new cars, the all-electric cars, et cetera, et cetera. Why are we why is everyone coming out with an electric car? Political politics. I mean, everything now is politics. Who you are, how you see yourself is now fought out in the political space. That's what's changed.
Starting point is 00:17:21 And the left has gone insane. and people who used to be fairly reasonable and used to agree with the Bill of Rights. They have been so skewed now that they, you know, we got to do things. I'm for the Bill of Rights, but there's things we got to do. No, no, no, there's not. No, there's not on either side.
Starting point is 00:17:46 No, there is not. You don't silence speech. And so they get this, they just get this, snowball rolling in their own little click where everybody's thinking alike and you pour hate like gasoline onto that fire and you're done you're done and you're choosing to not go that direction shut up oh man there's a skin wig right at your fingertips our producers went out and they got skin wigs and they were like this is going to be funny and oh it would be so funny it would be so
Starting point is 00:18:25 funny, it would be so easy to do and so good. But you're choosing to do the right thing. And can we give Glenn? No, shut up. Come on. There we go. Glenn, you are such a jerk. You know you agree with me.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Shut up. Oh, wow, the whole crowd. No, shut up. You agree. We talked about it on the air before. You agree with me. Look, of course, Glenn, I am easily restrained in a moment like this. Just turn his microphone off.
Starting point is 00:18:55 I don't need this. This isn't one of those moments that I would have trouble. This is a moment that I can see your struggling and that's why I wanted to investigate how you were feeling. Because as a friend, I am concerned. Hey, let me give you something that I read
Starting point is 00:19:11 that I think is so, really so spot on from the American thinker. Exciting times. A dangerous but exhilarating moment in history to be alive. The ground beneath us quakes and everything once held certain seems turned to mush.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Whatever we grasp for balance proves unsteady, too. The world is crashing down. It seems, and no countervailing force exists to keep everything in place. When we accept this reality, when we look around and say, hey, that was, we'll what was will never be again. When the troubles around us become seemingly unbearable, but we say, hey, that's just not reality today. our load becomes a little lighter to bear.
Starting point is 00:19:58 We're not here to fight for yesterday. We are here to fight for tomorrow. Yesterday can only give us guidance. That is fantastic. Tomorrow gives us purpose. Yet just because we fight for tomorrow doesn't mean we aren't also fighting for today. When you learn to punch,
Starting point is 00:20:23 you're taught to aim beyond your target. You punch through what you mean to hit to maximize the force and minimize the pain to yourself. In the same way, we aim for the future in order to seize today. We picture together what types of future we want. We strive for that future with ferocity and perseverance. And one day we look around and realize that we've just managed to build a remarkable world right here in the present. Nothing endures in this earthly existence but that cycle. It is what we do when challenges around. that matters. Those acts fleeting though they may be are shared legacy toward one another.
Starting point is 00:21:06 So let's look at the international communist Great Reset or build back better dystopias as inevitable if you want. But do so knowing that you're watching strikes being thrown into the catchers mitt without ever swinging. Your mind and soul provide a powerful bat. Our enemies are throwing heat right down the center of the plate, and there has never been a better time to swing for the fences. The globalist programs for mass control of humanity have become glaringly obvious. They don't even hide their intentions anymore behind veiled language, secret club meetings, or slanderous aspersions against their critics. They just say it out loud in the open.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Yep, we want to reduce the human population, control all energy used for commerce, regulate food production, and censor all information, antithetical to our goals, cynically divide humanity against itself by promoting meaningless wars, racial hostilities, and ludicrous social conflicts, and force the vast majority of remaining humans
Starting point is 00:22:10 into the future to survive as indentured servants who will own nothing and subsist, I guess, on a diet of bugs. That is an ugly, depressing, awful future to advertise. yet it is their arrogant plan. They're arrogant hubris, absolute hubris, and we should love it
Starting point is 00:22:33 because we couldn't ask for a better drug to cloud the judgment of our enemies. They're hooked. They can't see clearly. Do we? It is a really, really good op-ed. Again, it's an American thinker. And I didn't do it,
Starting point is 00:22:53 justice. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's tunnel to towers right now. Times are kind of tough. Inflation is sky high and as a result. So are prices on all kinds of things. Everything from the gas that fuels your car to the food, the food that fuels your body. Giving money to good causes might be a little difficult at this moment. I know that. But if you can give, you should give to something that's really worth it. So what is that? Well, may I suggest tunnel to towers? These are one of those really good causes and it's a great organization. Ever since 9-11, they've been helping families out that are veterans and first responders
Starting point is 00:23:36 when the worst happens, when somebody doesn't come home or they come home severely injured. They take care of the families and help them restore as much as they can. Donate $11 a month, will you, at T, the number two T.org. That's T2T.org. BlazTV.com slash Glenn is the place for the very common reason Glenn Beck. He's the promo code Glenn. It was eight months ago that I released my book, The Great Reset, and it was all about ESG. And I remember that January day wondering to myself if this will make any difference at all,
Starting point is 00:24:29 if people will actually read it, talk about it, share it. how to break the the code on ESG to a way that people could understand it and realize its threat. Here we are in August of the same year. And yesterday, there was a news article announcing that the people behind ESG are now thinking about relabeling it and renaming it because ESG is dead. that people now, it is growing so fast the opposition to it that they think that they've got to just instead of saying, oh, wait, the people don't like it. They're going to relabel it. But I want you to know, ESG proponents, we will be there to see your relabeling.
Starting point is 00:25:26 We will be there every step of the way. It is not over by any stretch of the imagination, but on Monday in Florida, there is a a very important bill that is being passed and suggested by Governor Ron DeSantis, and we'll talk about that on Monday because it'll need your support. Environmental social governance, those are scores that are popping up everywhere, the biggest banks, the largest financial firms in the world, insurance companies. If you think ESG is just a fancy banking term, you're in for a rude surprise, it will change everything from high gas prices to the destruction of free speech.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I sat down yesterday for a podcast with entrepreneur Vivek Ramoswamy. He has been working hard trying to expose ESG for what it really is, the biggest scam of the 21st century. And his first book, Woke Inc. took on the Woke Industrial Complex. and now he has launched strive asset management to be a David to the world's financial Goliaths like BlackRock. Today, the episode of the Glenn Beck podcast, we start by breaking down exactly what ESG is and why it's not too late to stop it and what you can do. But we pretty quickly get sidetracked, as Vivek said walking out the door, I could have done that for three hours. And I said the same thing during the podcast. He is an extraordinarily sharp individual that has CEO riddled through his resume of pharmaceuticals, of high tech, and of finance.
Starting point is 00:27:21 He is actually an intellectual elite, but he sure doesn't sound like one. He really understands what makes America tick. you don't want to miss this podcast.

Starting point is 00:27:48 It is a fascinating conversation. One really worth it. The ex-CIA chief has said that Republicans are the most dangerous political force in history. the ex-CIA chief? Wait a minute, wait a minute. You're saying somebody who's in the intelligence agencies has an opinion about Donald Trump and the Republicans? I don't think so, Glenn.
Starting point is 00:28:15 These people are long-term professionals. People who are just there to serve. They never have political access to grind. And I don't know what evidence you have to the alternative. Amen. Amen. This guy. By the way, I was in Utah and they're running against, you know, the Democrats chose. They had their own Democratic, you know, party members that were like, I want to be a little senator. And the Democrats at their caucus went, yeah, yeah, sit down, clown. We're going to go for this guy who claims he was a Republican and then an independent. And he's running against Mike Lee. And do you know. know what the commercial is? The commercial is without Egg McMuffin, we would have, we wouldn't have captured Osama bin Laden. He's touting his CIA credentials. And everybody there is focused on how arrogant to, they never say it, but they make it look like we wouldn't have caught him
Starting point is 00:29:18 without Egg McMuffin. And what's truly remarkable to me is they don't see what the real point of this is, the Democrats are running an ex-CIA guy. You have a problem with the intelligence community. So let's put in as a senator, a guy from the CIA to clean it all up. This is such a bizarre one because, look, maybe if you had some like weird rhino, Republican senator that wasn't really popular and I don't know. Romney? Let's use him as an example. Romney's not a bad example.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Maybe there would be some way to chip away with an independent who was kind of claiming to be more conservative than he is. And like, I get the approach here. But it's like Mike Lee is, in my view, the best senator in the Senate. Me too. Full stop. Yeah. And this is a guy who's kind of.
Starting point is 00:30:22 constantly focused on your freedoms, on the Constitution, on the courts, on the on the foundational principles of this country. He's a guy that has in, in every difficult circumstance has not backed down. Like there's just no argument whatsoever for anybody else to have that seat. Well, I think we could get a guy from the intelligence community. I just, I don't. I don't get it. Because he'll fix it.
Starting point is 00:30:51 I mean, look, they're blatantly trying to fool Republican voters in... Oh, and I think it's actually working. I don't think it's going to work. I hope not. But I will tell you that, you know, people feel pretty confident about Mike Lee. And I feel pretty confident about Mike Lee. But this guy is running ads. You know, when you talk to people that are, you know, prospective voters, are you going to vote?
Starting point is 00:31:16 Yeah, sure, I'm going to vote. The ones that the mass, they're not. paying attention. They don't really know who Mike Lee is. Mike's got one commercial on and he should change it. He should update it. One commercial. And this guy's got commercials out the butt because there are so many people all around the country funding this guy to stop Mike Lee. Yep. And Mike doesn't, you know, Mike doesn't have the war chest that he has because everybody from the country is funding that. Right. This is a pet project of the Democrats right now. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:52 They believe they have a chance to... They believe this is their path to win in red states. This is a trial. And if this works, just so America knows, if this works, this will happen to you in your state over and over and over again. It's really important just outside of the fact that Mike Lee should remain in the Senate because he does a good job. It's important for people to understand that this is a test case for what they want to. to do to you all over the country, which if you're living in Alabama, if you're living in Texas, they don't, they don't try to run Beto O'Rourke and lose over and over and over again with that
Starting point is 00:32:32 strategy. They take somebody who acts like they're conservative, who acts like they're, they are sort of Republican leaning, run them as an independent, flood them with nationwide money, and try to fool voters of the state to go against what they actually believe without knowing it. And that is what they're trying to do right now in Utah, sadly. I don't think it's going to work. I think the people of Utah are going to see through it. But that is what they're trying to do. And they see this as a path to control red states in the future. If this works, they'll keep doing it. Over and over and over again. And they are now saying that the GOP is a threat to our democracy. and listen to this.
Starting point is 00:33:20 New York Times opinion column is Charles Blow penned a piece titled Republicans are America's problem. We must stop thinking it's hyperbolic to say that the Republican Party itself is now a threat to our democracy. I understand the queasiness about labeling many of our fellow Americans that way.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Only half the nation. You know, but you didn't get there last time. You only did it to 80 million people. I understand that. that it sounds extreme and overreaching, but how else are we to describe what we're seeing? Republicans are the threat to our democracy because their own preferred form of democracy,
Starting point is 00:33:58 one that excludes and suppresses. No, our preferred form of a republic is outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Republicans, giving Republicans, a Republican, fighting chance at maintaining control is a danger. For modern Republicans, democracy only works, and it's only worth it when and if they win. Can you take the hypocrisy? The reason why I wanted to
Starting point is 00:34:31 bring this to you, this is the New York Times labeling half of the country as a danger to the republic and what else do we do? We don't want to label our fellow Americans that way, but what else explains it? There was another group of people that had this exact kind of propaganda start up against them. They had seen it over and over again. We Americans have not.
Starting point is 00:35:02 And so we think, oh, well, it's just true, I guess. The Jews had seen it over and over again. When you start saying half of the country is a problem, all they have to do is just take out the leaders. Put them in jail for not paying their taxes. Put them in jail for some. Do you know there's a book out called Three Felonies a Day? Do you know that if you started reading, what is it, 200 pages a day of the legal code,
Starting point is 00:35:37 you would finish it in about 10,000 years? Okay, that's how many laws are on the books. There's no way you could possibly follow all of them. No. the average person, they say, commits three felonies a day. If you knew all of the laws and you wanted to impose sentences on every single law that you have, they could get you for three felonies every single day. That's insanity.
Starting point is 00:36:10 That's tyranny. That is tyranny. That is tyranny. And all you have to do is, is, um, is, is just listen to what they're saying now, and they will scoop people up. Listen to this. Republicans have searched for multiple election cycles
Starting point is 00:36:26 for the right vehicle and packaging for their white nationalism, religious nationalism, nativism, and craven capitalism and sexism. They finally found it in Trump. However, the same paper is now saying,
Starting point is 00:36:50 that if Donald Trump gets out of the way, it's going to be Ron DeSantis. And I quote, Ron DeSantis is even worse than Donald Trump. Of course. Of course. Every single time. Same pattern every time.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Yep. Imagine that your car has just broken down. You're facing the grim reality and you're about to be on the hook for several thousand dollars just to get it fixed. You can't not fix it. I mean, that's how you get to and from work. every day. Now imagine
Starting point is 00:37:21 if you didn't have to worry about that warranty, if your car was already protected by CarShield and you've locked in the price so it never changes. CarShield offers protection plans for around $100 a month. All you have to do is choose the mechanic to do the work. CarShield administrators handle everything else. You can also count on CarShield to help take care of you when your car does break down and you're stuck on the side of the road.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Every protection plan includes coast to coast roadside assistance, car options and trip reimbursement at no extra cost. So lock in your price today and it will never go up. It's CarShield. They have had my back several times when my trucks have broken down. Get coverage like I did. CarShield.com slash Beck. CarShield.com slash Beck. Or call 800, 391888888.

Oak milk.
Starting point is 00:38:58 But because of very powerful lobbyists, the FDA is now going to ban those things. Even though it's unconstitutional, already been settled in court. They're just going to do it anyway. you government for protecting us because we were so confused as to whether oat milk came from cows. I had no idea. I figured the soy milk and the oat milk and all that stuff came directly from an utter. Can I tell you something? Most people don't know that milk milk came from a cow. It's like a thank you for protecting us. Now, of course, this is just a way for the dairy industry. to protect it's protectionism right they want to they want to make them call it something else so that
Starting point is 00:39:47 people don't buy it which again a lot of people don't want to buy oat milk because it's oat milk right or almond milk almond milk they don't want it because they want regular milk but to act as if people can't figure out that almond milk is made from almonds and not coming from an utter is so pathetic and to use the government power is actually i think you're right unconstitutional and how do you you, well, I know I'm right. It was settled in a court case. So how are they doing it? They're just doing it. They don't care anymore. They don't care. I mean, that that is the most incredible thing about where we are as a nation. We are sitting at a time where our government doesn't care what the law actually means and what it says. They're just going to do it anyway. It's hard to disagree with what you just said. And that's sad. I mean, you know, that's why Ron DeSantis was firing that prosecutor in Florida.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Let me ask it. Coconut milk. That's actually what it's called, isn't it? Is it coconut milk or is coconut water? Because if it's coconut water, we shouldn't say that either because it's not really water. Well, there's both. There's coconut milk and coconut water. Well, but it's.
Starting point is 00:41:11 coconut. What's in the middle of the coconut? Is it coconut water or coconut milk? In the middle of every coconut is an utter. And that's where you get the coconut milk.

Starting point is 00:42:26 Mr. Bill O'Reilly is next. Is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Well, we now find out. out that the FBI reportedly was seeking documents from Donald Trump that Donald Trump believed would exonerate him from the Russian collusion claims and other election-related charges when the agents came down and hit Mar-a-Lago. The FBI collected all of the documents that
Starting point is 00:43:58 were government property and used concerns about classified documents to justify the rate. but agents apparently were looking for Trump's personal stash containing documents related to the Russian collusion accusations against him. He knew, and it's why he tweeted out yesterday, a reminder of what he did, I think, on January, late in January of 2020, or 2021, right before he left office, where he said he was declassifying these particular papers. They are a smoking gun on the Deep State.
Starting point is 00:44:36 He had just said a couple of weeks ago that he was going to start releasing some of these, and then the FBI raid happened. Is that a coincidence? Guy who would most likely know and have an inside scoop is Bill O'Reilly. He joins us in 60 seconds. All right, today is the very last day. If you forget to pick up the new American history book from Tuttle Twins,
Starting point is 00:45:00 If you miss out today, you're going to miss out on all the amazing extras. It is evident to all of us that American history has been lost, erased, and intentionally distorted. That's why I want you to pick up American History. It is a book now from the Tuttle Twins. It will give your kids the truth, the facts, but most importantly, the story of American history. Tuttle Twinsbeck.com. Go there now before the offer is gone. They're throwing in audiobooks, workbooks.

Mr. Bill O'Reilly, welcome to the program, sir. What are your thoughts on the latest revelations and Donald Trump's tweet yesterday about the documents that he said would have exonerated him, and that's what they were really after.
Starting point is 00:46:04 First of all, Beck, how you doing? You're all right? I'm good. Oh, I'm great. Yeah, it's hot down there, though, right? It's a little warm. Yeah, a little warm. Yeah, a little warm.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Okay. All right. So look, I don't know what the government took. No one does. I don't know what Trump had. I don't know. I don't know. So let me tell you something I do know.
Starting point is 00:46:25 this is not going well to the Department of Justice. It's not going well. And the indicator on that is that Joe Biden has disappeared. He's gone. We don't know what he's doing. We know where he is, because you have to know where the president is, but for the past two and a half weeks, Joe has not been around. No statements.
Starting point is 00:46:53 You know, he signed a ridiculous inflation. reducing bill, which of course won't reduce inflation. I'm going to add on my radio program every day. I'm changing the name from the O'Reilly Update to I'm going to give you a million dollars. You can say anything you want now, right? So my new radio program is I'm going to give you a million dollars. Even though it's not true. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Well, how could the government stop you from doing it? Yeah, the federal government can say, we're going to reduce inflation by spending a half trillion dollars. I can say, my new radio show is I'm going to give you a million dollars. Yeah. Okay. It's so absurd, so crazy. So if the Justice Department had justification for this unbelievable raid, the highest profile criminal raid in the history of the United States. Do you realize that,
Starting point is 00:47:56 Beck? There has never been a higher profile federal raid than this. Well, because we've never done it to a president before. It doesn't, that's the number one job in the country. That's right. Very good, Doug. This is the
Starting point is 00:48:12 highest profile criminal raid ever. And they won't tell us what they're looking for, what the justification was. They're fighting any kind exposition to tell the folks why they did what they did. So this according to Newsweek, the FBI collected all the documents that were government property, used concerns about classified
Starting point is 00:48:36 documents to justify the raid, but agents were looking for Trump's personal stash containing the documents related to Russian collusion accusations against him fearing that he would weaponize them according to Newsweek. One former Trump official said he may have planned to use the documents to help in a presidential run in the coming term, Trump was particularly interested in matters related to the Russian hoax and the wrongdoings of the deep state. I think he felt, and I agree, that these facts are facts the American people need to know. That's ridiculous. Newsweek is absurd. That's why it's out of business, and it doesn't have a magazine on the stands anymore. Donald Trump's attorneys have all of those things. Okay? They have them.
Starting point is 00:49:22 computer, all of the documents that show, and I'm sure there are thousands of them. Corruption by the Justice Department in Russian collusion are in the hands of Donald Trump's attorneys. The FBI does not need to go in and grab paper so that Donald Trump doesn't know what he has in his basement. Are you following me here? it's a totally absurd premise. So Trump does have information that was compiled that will show the corruption of the FBI during
Starting point is 00:50:03 Russian collusion. That exists. But it is in the hands of his attorneys. They have it. It's not like this one piece of paper and, oh, give me that paper back. No, that's not how it works. And usually doesn't know what it's doing. I think it's run by the Tuttle Twins, I think, run it now.
Starting point is 00:50:26 But it's insane. You know, I'm sitting there going, I listen to all of these reports. And I go, this is so crazy. I can't even imagine it. Well, it's coming kind of from Donald Trump's camp. No, but that's okay. Donald Trump's camp wants Americans to believe that this raid was designed
Starting point is 00:50:50 to cover up X, Y, and Z. That's what Donald Trump's camp wants people to believe. So why wouldn't they put it out? They have documents, they being the Donald Trump Organization. He has them.
Starting point is 00:51:06 So to me, I don't know whether he's going to use them in a book or use them in a lawsuit. I don't know what he's going to do. Okay? But this raid by the FBI, I wasn't predicated on that. It was predicated on a fishing expedition tied to January 6th.
Starting point is 00:51:26 That's why they did this. They were looking for any kind of documentation that Trump was involved with the planning and or encouraged the incursion into the Capitol. That's what this is all about, Beck. All right. Let me change topics to Liz Cheney. The headline today is, not for Democratic voters, Cheney's loss would have been worse.
Starting point is 00:51:53 So we know a lot of Democrats crossed over and voted for Lynn Cheney. Was that just a, or Liz Cheney, is that just a cheap political trick? Or is that a sign that the Democrats in Wyoming wouldn't mind somebody like Lynn Cheney who's a little more conservative, you know, but again, against Donald Trump. Look, Cheney lost by 40 points, 4-0. I've never seen a wax like that ever for an incumbent politician. Okay?
Starting point is 00:52:32 So maybe eight Democrats in Wyoming somewhere up around Cody who lost the Hopeford voted for Liz. Maybe she took them out the dinner. Maybe she bought them a snack. But the fact of the matter is, Remember, an open primary, anybody can vote for anybody. So if the people of Wyoming thought that Liz Cheney was representing them in an effective way, she would have won. But they don't.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Why? Very simple. She allied herself with Nancy Pelosi. The devil in Wyoming, Beck. Yeah. All right. So let me change subject. Something Stu and I were talking about.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Mitch McConnell is getting hammered by some conservatives because he said, look, the Senate, it's not a done deal. I don't think it is a done deal. I think, you know, I wouldn't count this out. I think you have to overwhelm the ballot box this fall to be able to have any kind of red wave, even in the House. Don't take this as a done deal. The polls are said to be tightening. Do you believe that's a, true? and do you believe that's because of people are for the Democrats,
Starting point is 00:53:50 just not Joe Biden? Number one, polls don't matter until late September, so these polls are foolish and everybody should ignore them. Number two, it's all about the candidates. So I don't think Oz is going to win in Pennsylvania, and that's a winnable race for Republicans there. Yep. That's a winnable race.
Starting point is 00:54:10 But I don't think he's going to win. And why is that? Donald Trump was betting that he was a guy that everybody knew at name recognition on TV. People trusted him. This is a skill set game campaigning. And he doesn't look to me like he has a grasp of what people in Pennsylvania really are concerned about. Because maybe he lives in New Jersey and that's why he doesn't happen. He's not going to win. So you take that off the board.
Starting point is 00:54:43 I did see a poll, and again, I'm contradicting myself a little bit because a polls don't really matter now, where Vance in Ohio is now up. It surprised me because he's another bad candidate. Arizona, that's a real, oh, boy, down there. Why? You don't like Masters? Kelly, I don't know him, but Kelly is a name and, you know, a lot of sympathy attached to the attack on the fly. And with the women vote, that matters.
Starting point is 00:55:13 and Gabby Giffords will be out campaigning. That's a tough one. I think Laxalt will win in Nevada. I think that New Hampshire could go to the Republicans. The guy up there looks like he has got a grasp on the live-free or die state. It's all about retail politics. Beck, you know that. They're convincing the people who might be skeptical of you that you are looking out to them.
Starting point is 00:55:38 And, you know, the national polling doesn't really matter. you've got to be a very, very good campaigner. Here in New York, we have a gubernatorial race. Kathy Hockel, perhaps the worst politician I have ever seen in my entire life. She makes Cuomo look like Abraham Lincoln. No, no, that is Abraham Lincoln is Liz Cheney. Kitcher? Yeah, whatever, Liz.
Starting point is 00:56:04 And Pop, she's going to take Stelter's place on CNN, by the way, Liz Cheney. Oh, yeah. If it's not there, she'll be on the view. No, the view wouldn't take her, but CNN would. Anyway, so Zeldin, the congressman here, where I am right now in Suffolk, New York, is running against Hocal, two-to-one registration favoring the Democrats in New York. Zeldon has a chance, because he's running on crime, crime and taxes. And here in New York, there is just crazy.
Starting point is 00:56:39 everybody's crazed about the violent crime here. Because you keep letting people go. I mean, these soros people just keep letting people go. Here's how bad it is. And this is in New York where you used to live. All you hear from the liberal Democrats in New York is gun control. It's all you hear. Guns, gun, guns.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Got to get them off. Compuscate everybody's guns. If you are a criminal caught with an illegal weapon on your person in New York City, they do not give you bail you can go right out you go into the station they take your gun they photograph you
Starting point is 00:57:16 they say show up in three weeks which you of course never will and you walk out the door so if you're real concerned about when I was there it was 20 years prison and everyone said
Starting point is 00:57:28 automatic don't care who you are you're caught with a gun that you don't have the license for not an illegal gun you don't have a concealed carry permit, automatic jail, they don't even ask questions. Much tougher. But now you have Hockel, the governor going,
Starting point is 00:57:44 guns, guns, guns, got to ban them, ban them, ban them. Nobody can have them. But if you're an illegal criminal and you have a gun, we're not going to punish you. Okay, thanks. You know, I mean, I can't give you a better, more stark example of corruption than that. So Zolven's got a chance because you run a populist campaign. That's what you have to do here. I don't know Mitch McConnell. I don't know what he's doing. doing. I never liked him. He killed
Starting point is 00:58:10 Kate's law single-handedly. You'll remember that. Almost had it done. He killed it. I don't have any respect for him. I hope that if the Republicans get the Senate, they boot him and put somebody in that was going to be looking out for the folks. All right, back with Bill O'Reilly in just a second. Just about every day on this program, I share the experiences of real people
Starting point is 00:58:32 just like you. People who have had their lives changed by taking relief factor, and I'm one of them. I would not be here today, or at least in the shape that I'm in today, if it weren't for a relief factor. Like millions of Americans, I used to live with pain every single day, bad pain, the kind that is incredible to even concentrate on anything because of. I got my life back through Relief Factor, and I honestly didn't think it would work for me. Relief Factor is not a drug. It was developed by doctors, and it has four key ingredients that fight inflammation, which is the source of most of the pain. that we deal with and also the source of much of our illnesses.
Starting point is 00:59:12 It could work for you. 70% of the people who try go on to order more month after month. So get the quick start, the three-week trial pack. You can get it at relieffactor.com right now. Relieffactor.com. It's 1995. You can call them at 800, the number four relief. That's one, 800 for relief.
Starting point is 00:59:32 Or relieffactor.com. Feel the difference. 10 seconds. Station ID. You know, we were talking about Kathy Hockel and what a great governor she is, according to Bill O'Reilly. She's fantastic. Yesterday, she signed in a bill to make sure that Albany knows that you have to have gender neutral language. So salesperson is now the word officially for the state instead of sales.
Starting point is 01:00:17 salesmen. This is what the government of New York is working on? Yeah. Well, I was in Macy's the other day and I wanted to get the attention of a salesperson. I said, madam and 18 guys turned around. No, no. Yeah, no. I can't keep up with it. Hey, can I ask you a question back? Yeah. Okay. Did you read the Breitbart article on me this week? I did. I did. The article on... Okay. I just want to tell you something about it. I told them that one of the reasons, and the headline of the article was the left tried to cancel O'Reilly, it didn't work, and he's doing great.
Starting point is 01:00:56 And we really appreciate Breitbart actually telling the truth. Yes. But I told them that one of the reasons that happened was because of you. Oh, you didn't need to do that, Bill. I don't put that in there. I don't know why, you know, they edit these articles over the place. I don't think it was a personal thing that they did. They just didn't want.
Starting point is 01:01:14 They didn't feel it was part of the narrative. but I wanted your audience to know because I know a lot of people did read the article on Breitbart. We have it posted on Bill O'Reilly.com and go to Breitbart itself. But the article was one of the few ever positive articles ever written about me. So I'm still kind of
Starting point is 01:01:30 in a state of stunned admiration. It's weird when that happens, isn't it? Yeah, but without you and this is true. Because you were number one. You were the first one in saying, look, I'm not buying all this. on O'Reilly, I know him, because you and I go way back.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Weren't we in the first grade together, Beck? No, I was still a baby sperm when you were in high school. I remember the conversation I had with you. I was driving back to Philadelphia, and you said, look, I'm going to put you on, but you got to tell me the truth. And I said, I've always told you the truth, and I always will. And that's true. Is that correct?
Starting point is 01:02:12 It is true. We spent probably two hours on the phone, and I grilled you and grilled you and grilled you and my wife was there you don't probably know this but I had you on speakerphone so my wife who's got great instincts she was listening and I said I think I believe you Bill so I
Starting point is 01:02:28 told you if it ever comes out that you're lying to me I will burn you at the stake on the air and you said I'm not lying and uh... Yeah but you said something even worse than that what did I say? You said
Starting point is 01:02:43 if it turns out you're misleading me O'Reilly I'm sending Stu to your house. And he'll do every show with you from here on out. Yeah, think about that. I mean, I said, look, back, I'm telling you the exact truth. But you had courage to do it. I wanted your audience to know that. I did tell that to Breitbart.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Hannity also puts me on his radio show. A few others do. Now the momentum is all us. I know. To read the article, you'll see it. Yeah. And Bill, I have to tell you, I've, I've done that for one other person that was in your situation, and that person has never said anything about it.
Starting point is 01:03:25 And I don't want them to say it publicly. I don't really care about that. But you have not only said it to me multiple times personally, which means more to me. And you've also said it publicly. And I couldn't be, I hope you know this. I couldn't be happier for your success. You deserve it. Well, you should be proud of yourself that you're a man of courage, man.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Thank you very much, Bill. Bill O'Reilly. You can find him at Bill O'Reilly.com. That was nice. I was kind of waiting for a punchline from one of you. I think he's on drugs. There is. He has gone completely senile. Where's the old Bill that, you know, tears people apart.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Something is wrong. He might be dying. The Glenn Back Program. Be really great if we didn't have to build a parallel economy in this country, but it is pretty clear that that is exactly what we have to do. Not only we're living in an era of inflation that demands that you find cheaper goods and services, but so many major companies are so woke, it's insane. And companies that are openly accepting ESG mandates to companies like Verizon

Starting point is 01:06:05 or at your agent of voyage. The conditions apply. This is the Glenn Beck program, Mr.
Starting point is 01:06:17 Michael Malice. This is the only show that has a swing this dramatic from every week.
Starting point is 01:06:24 Bill O'Reilly to the anarchist Michael Malice and I'm standing somewhere in between going, I got to get these two together. This would be a scream. Hey, Michael, how are you? Do you really want to set me up for punchlines against Mr. O'Reilly? No, I don't.
Starting point is 01:06:42 I'm friends with both of you play nice. Well, that wouldn't last long if we were in a room together. I know. Have you ever been in a room with him? He'd pound you to death. Oh, is that really what you think's going to happen? Can we not? please be nice play nice you said let's get him in a room together i said okay then you're like wait a minute
Starting point is 01:07:02 this is a bad idea no i want people to imagine it i don't need to dwell on it with you it would be something like jill and joe jill jill jill okay all right enough how are you sir i am you know why i'm so fantastic this morning why because this has been a very bad week for the pig people. First, Brian Stelter is fired from CNN. Liz Cheney goes back on her broom to Wyoming. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:35 If Officer Harris breaks one of her hooves, it's going to be a trifecta. So here's the, you know, we talked about the Brian Stelter thing this morning, and Stu did everything he could just to turn the knife in me to, because I'm trying to not kick someone when they're down. And I, I, I, I,
Starting point is 01:07:55 it would be. so easy to just dance on that grave. Really, for me personally, very easy to do. And it's not the right thing to do. It's going to be really hard for that potato to get back up. You know, it's like when it turtles on his back. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:12 Okay. Can I talk to you about the Liz Cheney thing? Please. Yeah. Okay. All right. Your thoughts on the delusions of grandeur from Liz Cheney.
Starting point is 01:08:27 Oh, I think you're a little wrong in this sense. If you're talking about her running for president, because what she's going to do, and Glenn, you've been in this business even longer than I have, and you understand how it works. What happens is you run for president with no intention of becoming president. You run for president so that when you go on CNN or MSNBC,
Starting point is 01:08:44 now the Chiron, the little title on your screen, will say, Liz Cheney, former presidential candidate, and now she can get a huge big book deal about what a hero she is. She can be on TV in perpetuity, and she can hustle money from gullible donors to basically fund a campaign where she goes around the country running her mouth. So it's a very smart move for her. I think a lot of Republican voters think, ha, ha, ha, she's going to lose.
Starting point is 01:09:08 She knows she's going to lose, but at the same time, she's going to get enormously wealthy, increase her stature, and she'll get to replace Bill Crystal or Jennifer Rubin when they, you know, go back to their nursing home. So what you're saying to me, if I may paraphrase, strike me down and I will become even more powerful. I mean, but we've seen this over and over. I mean, Bill, Bill Weld, who was, you know, couldn't even become the ambassador to Mexico. He had to resign being governor of Massachusetts. He was on MSNBC or CNN in 2018 or 19, advocated me or President Trump to get the death penalty. And no one even batted an eye because he was saying, you know, the puner. President Trump committed treason, the punishment for treason is death.
Starting point is 01:09:53 It's insane the levels to which these failures are allowed to be given platforms. But that's for next move. That's not a surprise to anybody. I mean, honestly, I think she could take Brian Stelter's job at CNN. And it would not surprise me. Of course, the guy who, you know, stabbed Selman Rushdie could get the job. and that wouldn't surprise me. But that's what they always do.
Starting point is 01:10:23 And I don't think the press has any credibility anymore. And I really wonder its impact. Well, I think there is an enormous amount of impact. Well, first of all, she, I mean, the Salmon Rushdage Gob isn't as good as Liz Cheney at killing people. So she really has that over him. And in all seriousness, one of the reasons I think this woman is uniquely despicable is as of 2018, she was still telling John McCain how good torture is
Starting point is 01:10:51 and how lying about that the CIA's torture program gave us useful information. So if you're sitting and advocating torture and to John McCain, you're at a level of depravity that's far and above pretty much anyone else in politics. And I think it's going to be hilarious, though, if she runs and resident independent
Starting point is 01:11:13 because Andrew Yang, that snake, is doing everything he can to court her to join his forward party if you look at his Twitter. If she runs as a third party and she would draw votes exclusively from anti-Republican people, which would otherwise go to Biden or the Democratic nominee, that press will turn on her so fast or her heads will spin, and she'll have to go back home to her husband, Hermit the Frog. We're talking to Michael Malice.
Starting point is 01:11:41 Wait, that's interesting, Michael. You think all of the votes would come from Democratic votes? I mean, the idea, I think, of the candidacy, right, would be to pull moderate Republicans who don't like Donald Trump over to vote for her as an independent. You think they'd all come from the left? No, they'd all, right. If she was not there and the choice is Biden or whoever the nominee is versus Trump, all those votes in a binary system are going to go toward the Democratic candidate. They're not going to, they don't like Biden or the candidate, just hate Trump. That's why they're voting for Biden.
Starting point is 01:12:11 And I really think, Stu, that the people that I've talked to, they may, they're either for. Trump or therefore Ron DeSantis. But they will always say the same thing to me. Always. I really hope that DeSantis is the guy but I am fully behind Trump if he's the candidate.
Starting point is 01:12:30 You know what I mean? So I don't think it's like, ah, if I want DeSantis, I'll vote for Liz Janie. Right. You know, it's just that's, I just think that's not going to happen. I'd love to get your opinion on this. the editor and national editor and columnist for the Financial Times
Starting point is 01:12:49 kind of echoed the words of our former CIA director Michael Hayden who said the Republicans are the most dangerous political force in history. Lou said, I've covered extremism and violent ideologies around the world over my career. I've never come across a political force, more nihilistic, dangerous, contemptible, than today's Republican, nothing even close. Yeah, I wish the Republican Party was one-tenth as awesome as they're trying to make them out to be.
Starting point is 01:13:25 They couldn't even abolish NPR. I'm going to get serious for a second to your listeners. Every single agency that the Republicans shake their fists about, like the CIA this week, have been funded and supported by Republican Congresspeople for decades without. batting an eye. So this claim that they're going to burn anything down is completely fallacious. They fund things year after year, as Stu and I discussed when he was on my show a couple years back, when you had Trump in the White House and a Republican Congress, they didn't even try to cut the budget. Well, I will tell you. So this is completely nonsensical. This is why I really think that the Republicans
Starting point is 01:14:05 have one more shot. And they're not going to do it with the people who are in. It's got to be new blood that is in there. but the Mitch McConnell's of the world still think it's 1975. They still think they're playing the same game and nothing has changed because they haven't changed. However, Republicans have changed and Republicans voters who I think the party of the upper echelons despise their own voters. But they if Congress gets in and does not defy, fund the IRS or the Department of Education, the CIA, and I'm not saying completely defunded so we don't have that agency. I know you would. I'm saying defund it to the part to where it really cripples them until they start doing transparent reforms. And when I say on the, I'm only talking about the Department of Justice, I'm not talking. necessarily about the CIA and I'm not talking about the Department of Ed. I'm fine. Get rid of them.
Starting point is 01:15:19 I'm fine with that. Yeah, I think there's a lot to what you're saying. First of all, it's kind of ironic because New Blood is Liz Cheney's favorite breakfast. I do think we're at a point with the Republican base and they have so much. Remember, in 2012, Paul Ryan was regard as the right wing of the party. That's why Mitt Romney brought him onto the ticket. I think the base has gotten so, enraged and social media helps them with this at the frauds that the Republican politicians are, that if they don't start showing receipts, things are going to keep getting uglier and uglier in this country and the Republicans will be to blame for it in part. I just stood in front of a bunch of Republicans just this week and it said,
Starting point is 01:16:01 you guys have one more election. One more. If you don't produce results, if you get the House or the Senate in January, people that vote for you guys will be done. We'll be done. And Donald Trump would be exactly the kind of guy to start a new party. Or it wouldn't even be starting a new party. It would be just who knows what would happen. I don't mean in terms of violence,
Starting point is 01:16:30 just in terms of like when you have a huge percentage of population, just absolutely disgusted with politics, you know, things start breaking apart in terms of authority, in terms of systems working, in terms of civil disobedience, you know, things get messy. We're already almost there. Thank you so much, Michael. I appreciate it. Oh, it's a pleasure, folks.
Starting point is 01:16:50 Have a good weekend. Bye-bye. Michael Malice. So if you're a sensible person, I know you are, you know that you're never more than a single disaster away from losing things that are precious to you. You wake up in the middle of the night and your house is on fire. This just happened to a neighbor of mine. and they just had finished this house,
Starting point is 01:17:09 had moved in, it was great. Well, the guys who were doing the roofing, one of the welders or something, I don't know, but they were doing the roof and they were putting the final,
Starting point is 01:17:20 you know, flange on. And a spark got into the roof and nobody caught it. And that night, the house burned and it burned from the roof down. And this house had sprinklers. So they didn't lose the house per se. They just destroyed the house from water and everything in it.
Starting point is 01:17:42 And I saw them taking pictures out and, you know, wedding picture. All of this stuff, just gone. Just gone. You have pictures. You have camcorder tapes, film reels, everything else thinks that once they're gone, they are gone. Legacy Box is the answer. And it is a simple answer.

Starting point is 01:19:50 I have a podcast coming out Well it came out last night for Blaze TV subscribers And you can catch it if you're Blaz TV subscriber right now Tomorrow it'll come out on my YouTube channel It is a podcast with Vivek Rameshwamy Who is quite honestly Probably one of my top ten Fascinating people
Starting point is 01:20:13 Yeah really smart guy Yeah and can talk about Anything He's one of maybe two people that I have interviewed that I actually took notes while they were speaking, you know, because, you know, I try to stay in the conversation, but I wrote down things that I needed to look up. And then I also wrote down other topics that I wanted to bring up with him, because he would open a door on something and I'd go, oh, crap, that's a treasure trove of
Starting point is 01:20:45 information on that, if I go that direction. That doesn't happen very often. and he is truly brilliant. I mean, he's Harvard and Yale educated and yet a normal human being. It's quite fascinating. Yeah, I talked last night to Paul Bond of Newsweek, who wrote an article about how the right is pushing back against woke companies. Yeah. And it was, you know, it's a straight news story, but not written as you typically see from the, from, you know, the New York Times. It's got a focus on him, right?
Starting point is 01:21:13 Yeah, and it mentions a vague in there. And it talks about how some of the backing, Peter Thiel was involved, I guess, in the formation. this fund. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a serious effort and it's something that is changing minds in the big, in big finance. They are, oh, yeah. Which is big. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:30 Because, you know, you think about some of these people who are at the heads of these companies and they, a lot of them don't like ESG. They don't want to do these things, but they look at the reality of the situation and all the money's coming in from BlackRock. And so they're trying to do what they can to play the games that's best for the shareholders. and what they see is best in the short term. Here's the thing, private company, and this is why this is not the free market.
Starting point is 01:21:56 They say, well, these are private companies doing what they do. Well, if the government and all of the biggest banks, hedge funds and insurance companies are in collusion and the governments of the entire world say fossil fuels are out, well, then the banks look at each other and go, well, they're going to just regulate that out of business. So it is probably in the best interest of us to play the game because they're not going to fund it. So why should we stick our necks out and we'll get dinged by going another direction? That's what's happening. And this fund gives the people in those positions at some of these companies an argument to say, hey, wait a minute. What about these guys? There's
Starting point is 01:22:45 hundreds of millions of dollars going over here. There's a way that we can still get this funding. We can still get this support. We can still get this investment because people are sticking their necks out to protect what should be the truth here, right? That companies should try to do the best thing they can to make their products good for people, to make the experience good for their users or for their customers, and to do the best thing they can for their shareholders. That's what this is supposed to be about. Right. That's what Vivek's, you know, DRLL listed. It's an index for the energy sector on the New York Stock Exchange.

And it's time to connect the dots about you. That's on Monday's program. Today, I want to spend a couple of minutes on a couple of things. First, we're going to start this hour with the challenge to our dollar.
Starting point is 01:26:58 Every single person that I have ever talked to, who is an economist, they all say the same thing. And I say, the dollar is going to collapse. And they'll say, no, it's not, Glenn, because it's the strongest thing out there. And I'm like, yes, but back by what? It's not strong. Yes, but it's the strongest one out there. And I have always ended each conversation with the same thing. Until someone else decides to change that.

Starting point is 01:29:20 So the U.S. dollar has dominated the global financial system for a long time. And it is truly one of the main reasons we are so wealthy. Okay. Because our dollar, after World War II, let me just explain this to you quickly. After World War II, nobody had any gold except the, United States. We had almost all the gold from all around the world because the entire Western world was fighting against the Nazis and the Japanese and they needed ships and planes and bullets and guns and everything else. And we were one of the only industrial powers that hadn't been
Starting point is 01:30:03 bombed. So we had everything. Plus we had cheap energy and we had educated workers. We could transform our our plants to build anything. We in three years were building more planes better quality than the Germans were producing. And they had had, you know, 20 years of building up these plants and getting it down. So we were a force to be reckoned with. And everybody had to buy the stuff from us because it was really their only choice. And they paid in gold. So that's one of the reasons.
Starting point is 01:30:42 why we were so successful. When we got off the gold standard, the world thought, okay, they're going to destroy their dollar and they're doing what's right for America and not right for the rest of the world because we promised them a dollar would equal a dollar of gold. Then we changed, when we got rid of gold, we said it's going to be the petro dollar. And it's a deal we made with Saudi Arabia that oil could only be purchased in U.S. dollars. Okay. So everybody had to hold those dollars because if you wanted oil, it could only be purchased in U.S. dollars. So they kept all of our money into the banks. All the sovereigns kept
Starting point is 01:31:26 you know, gold, fat chance, and dollars in their banks. And that's how the world works. Once the dollar is over, rocky can be replaced. Believe me, it will be. So the international system is maintained by several dollar dominated organizations like the IMF, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization. I want to point out that all of the board are on board or all of the above are on board with the Davos and the Great Reset. And countries like Russia and China and Saudi Arabia know this. So when we went into Ukraine, there was one action by the West that changed and accelerated absolutely everything. Everything. It was the dollar dominated system.
Starting point is 01:32:22 It took hundreds of billions of dollars held by the Russians and made it go, poof. We ghosted hundreds of billions of dollars. Now imagine if Saudi Arabia or China or anybody did that to us. If we were holding all of their money, and I'm going to show you how it's going to happen with China soon because of people like BlackRock and what they're doing with investments in China. But imagine billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars just disappear overnight because China says we no longer agree with you. But imagine if it wasn't in the stock market, it was actually. actually dollars that were held instead of gold. And the promise was it will always be worth the price of gold.
Starting point is 01:33:17 So China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, remember we don't have a gold back dollar. We now have a petro dollar. Saudi Arabia part of it, they are like, you know what? I just don't, I think we should get out of the dollar business. well that's easy to say harder to do okay first what they had to do was start to decouple from the entire thing and the access powers already had this in works uh Iran announced that they're now officially ditching the dollar in trade uh and their their growing ally now is Russia they also announced similar trade plans with China India and Turkey Iran Russia and Turkey
Starting point is 01:34:00 So you know, that is, that has never happened before. And that is literally what the Bible in end time revelation refers to as Gog and Megag and Magog, the two, the coalition, if you will, that is the coalition of the Antichrist. Gog and Magog, that is Iran, Russia, and modern day Turkey. They met last month, and they all but admitted a new anti-American alliance that they call, quote, the axis of good. I would say it's the axis of evil. But remember, in a time where all good is made to be bad and all bad is made to be good, they're calling themselves the axis of good.
Starting point is 01:34:51 As the Western G nations met in June, another economic and military, pack was meeting nearly simultaneously. It was the Bricks summit that nobody strangely was really covering or paying attention to. Bricks is composed of Brick, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It's just five countries, but the potential is massive. Each country has participation in their own individual trade blocks. For instance, Brazil is part of the South American Free Trade area, which has 11 members. Russia is part of the European Economic Union, the trade area, with eight members. India, South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, eight members.
Starting point is 01:35:38 China has their own partnership with 15 members. South Africa has a trade agreement with 34 member states. Now, I point this out because this axis is a juggernaut. It could become a juggernaut. and hostile to the U.S. dollar really fast. So at the beginning of the BRICS summit, President Z was there, and he declared that the West was, quote, weaponizing the world's economy.
Starting point is 01:36:13 We were. Everything we do. If you don't agree with what the West is saying, particularly America, we'll cut you off. Well, that's not really a stable system. So they got together at the BRICS summit. They laid out 75 points. And here's what President Z was saying.
Starting point is 01:36:39 He urged people in the West to read it. Now, why would he do that? Because he wants you to know exactly what's coming. For the economic axis of evil or good to replace. the dollar international system, they must first find a way to operate outside of the IMF, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization, and the dollar is the last one. The IMF, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank, these are the ones that, you know, kind of settle debts and work together and decide who's going to, you know, get some bailouts,
Starting point is 01:37:16 who's not. The WTO is the Western Trade Agreement. And then the dollar is the one that everybody uses. Points 37 and 38 are about, quote, enhancing cooperation on supply chains between BRICS countries and their partners. And it goes into specifics. But it's clear what this is about. They're going to replace the World Trade Organization. Point 39 talks about a, quote, new development bank that has just been open in Shanghai.
Starting point is 01:37:52 That's their solution to both the World Trade Organization. bank and the IMF. Point 49 talks about the new intrabrics trade system that can make transactions within their group. What does that mean? Do you remember when we kick the world off of Swift? We'll get them now. They won't be able to make transactions because we're the only one with a system that can
Starting point is 01:38:17 make those inner bank and inner country transactions. We're going to kick them off a swift. Huh. There's a new intra-bricks trade system that will do what Swift used to do. The last thing is to ditch the dollar, and they can completely circumvent Western sanctions. But it also will mean that half the world will dump their dollars. You think there's inflation now? wait until half of the countries of the world
Starting point is 01:38:56 no longer need to use the dollar no longer believe it's worth its weight in gold and just dump them Putin said directly right out in the open during the BRIC summit they are telling us what they're going to do they are urging us to pay attention and we are so arrogant that we are not taking it seriously
Starting point is 01:39:20 everything I pointed out to all of those friends and economists that I've talked to over the last 20 years, that the dollar is going to be dethroned. And they said, no, because there's no other system. You don't understand. And I said, I understand the free market and humans enough to know there's a point of no return where people say, you know what, it's not worth it. Let's build something else and then clobber the dollar. that will never happen. Well, I've lived in a point of history where I've seen too many things that cannot happen.
Starting point is 01:40:00 Happen! By the way, if you have to live under this system, which we will, all of this goes through. I want you to know this. Brazil is the world's second largest soy producer. Russia is the largest wheat producer. South Africa is top 10 in corn. China has a quarter of the game of the world's grain.
Starting point is 01:40:29 India is number two in rice. You add Saudi Arabia and we're done. What is it we're doing? We should be reinforcing. We should be unleashing our energy in our energy producers. We should be unleashing our farmers. There's new stories out today that 75% of the farmers and ranchers either sold off a good portion of their cattle for slaughter. And if they were growing crops, a third of it they plowed under.
Starting point is 01:41:12 We should be going the opposite direction. We are regulating and squeezing our own people and then pissing off the rest of the world. prepare for impact because it will come. It's not a conspiracy theory. It is not insane. Russia and China are doing it now. Prepare yourself. All right.
Starting point is 01:41:41 Somewhere out there, the sun is peeking through a window on a sleeping young man with a broad smile on his face and he snores happily.

Starting point is 01:43:09 There was something else. I've just got to go through all of these news stories because it'll be next week before we get a chance to talk about. By the way, Wells Fargo is retreating from the mortgage business. They've dominated the mortgage business. They are now planning a major retreat from that mortgage business. Gee, another major warning sign just flashed up for the housing market. And I got something else. I want to switch.
Starting point is 01:43:44 But before I switch, I want to play the Vivek Ramishwamy piece on one other thing you should be concerned about. And this involves probably your 401 case. We were talking about ESGs. But ESGs are a systematic risk. They're too risky to invest in. Well, he told me, if that's the case, then how come we're not talking about this? Listen to this. That's what they say is that climate risk is investment risk because the laws are going to change.
Starting point is 01:44:15 And investors need to take that into account. And according to Al Gore and Larry Fink, you might be violating your fiduciary duty if you don't take those climate risks into account. Okay. Hold that thought. Those same institutions, let's take BlackRock, for example, are advocating for investments into Chinese companies. Larry Fink says China is the possibly greatest growth area for investment over the next. next decade. Here's a fun fact that a lot of people don't know. Okay. When people buy a share of Alibaba or of Tencent, these are some of the biggest technology companies in the world are Chinese
Starting point is 01:44:52 companies. And an American buys those shares. They think they own Alibaba or Tencent. I'm going to share some facts with you. They don't. What they actually own is a Cayman shell company that has the name Alibaba and Tencent attached to it that has a contractual arrangement with the real Alibaba and Tencent to get a share of the profits. Why is that? Because there's a law in China that says that you can't be a non-Chinese person who owns a Chinese technology company or Chinese companies in many other sectors. So it's illegal per Chinese law to own that. So what they've created is these Cayman shell companies that have an entitlement to a profit stream and then they sell them to U.S. investors saying that, hey, you're actually buying
Starting point is 01:45:33 Alibaba and Tencent basically and they market the heck out of it. Why do I bring that, why do I bring that question up? Wow. I mean, this is going to be like, I think people could lose a lot of money in the next four years. If China invades Taiwan, China is done.
Starting point is 01:45:46 They're going to say that, you know, we don't recognize those contracts anymore because they were always illegal under our law. What China's done in the meantime is they're not enforcing that. Occasionally, courts have enforced it, actually. So when Yahoo tried to get some acclaim on an ownership of an asset that it had that sat under Alibaba, Chinese courts actually said, actually your piece of papers worthless
Starting point is 01:46:03 because under Chinese law, we don't recognize foreign owners of these Chinese companies. So they do selectively enforce it. But most of the time, China's looked the other. way. Okay, stop. This, this you have to hear on today's podcast. If you are not a member of Blaze TV, please join the family, will you?

Starting point is 01:48:23 I mean, I don't even think it would qualify as a Friday. because this is something that you have to have in your head all weekend. And you'll try to get it out of your head. But you might be on a date tonight. And you'll sing to yourself. You're welcome, America. All right, let me just give you our latest monkey pox update. Have you seen the picture of the guy who went to the doctor?
Starting point is 01:48:53 And the doctor said, I think it's just a bad sunburn. turned out to be monkey pox. The reason why I tell you this is not because I think you might be having multiple partners and homosexual sex. But I tell you this because it's a warning, do not click on the picture. I did this morning, I clicked on the story in the post, and I regretted it, and you'll never, ever be able to unsee it. It's Horrible Okay
Starting point is 01:49:32 Horrible It's you know You've ever seen anywhere You know they've got that VX gas And they're like don't drop this You know on the what the rock Don't drop this Because it'll melt your skin
Starting point is 01:49:45 And you'll die I mean I would rather drink a glass of VX Than even see that picture again It's horrible. Message, don't click on a picture. More important, don't have multiple partners. You know, you might want to slow down on that.
Starting point is 01:50:06 You know, if you're homosexual, great, good. Have one partner. This guy had syphilis, AIDS, and now monkeypox. Congratulations. Holy cow. No, I should add to that. And multiple partners? That's a rough set of, I mean, you don't want that combo.
Starting point is 01:50:30 That's not the combo you want to get. By the way, some good news here. The UN has just let us know that their special rapporteur. I don't even know what that is. Do you know what that is? No. Go ahead. No.
Starting point is 01:50:49 Sarah was just saying something in your ear and not to mine. We were just thinking that that really is not the combo you want to get. That's just if you're going to get a combo. that's not the one you want. You want to avoid the AIDS. Yeah, I'm not. Monkeypox. What was the third one?
Starting point is 01:51:07 Syphilis. It's not like I'm pulling up to any fast food restaurant and saying, give me the combo. And if you get it, don't supersize it. It's going to be, you know. How would you supersize that? You don't want to find out. That's probably what the picture was.
Starting point is 01:51:20 All right. So anyway, oh, don't bring up that picture again. Really, don't click on it. I'm not saying this, hoping that you'll click on it. No, yeah. Saying this because really, did you click on it? No, some things are just better to not look at.
Starting point is 01:51:31 Yeah, I was just too curious. I'm never curious. That killed the cat, which I'm normally for. Not in this case. All right, anyway, the special repertoire. Reperture. On contemporary forms of slavery has just come out and said, you know what?
Starting point is 01:51:49 It is reasonable to conclude that China does have forced labor camps and concentration camps. They're on it. Wow. They're on it. Now, they said, we're pretty sure this is happening, but we should have some more talks on it, meetings, and maybe another study to make sure. But they say they are exploiting the Uyghurs and committing crimes against humanity, which include all kinds of things. But what kills me is what they led with. It wasn't slavery.
Starting point is 01:52:24 It wasn't, you know, rape. It wasn't mutilation. It wasn't the fact that they're in internment camps. They led with excessive surveillance. In that interesting. By the way, the Panopticon is a jail. Look it up. You can look this up.
Starting point is 01:52:43 It doesn't have any pictures of the guy's nose. The Panopticon is a prison where the guards, it was a circle, and the guards were in the center. And so they could see every single cell at all times and know what was going on. It was deemed inhumane because you cannot live like that. This is the world we're headed towards that your entire world will be a panopticon. Anyway, I just want to point out, as you mention, the surveillance that leads to imprisoning millions of people that are innocent and ruining their lives in prison camps,
Starting point is 01:53:25 that our former CIA directors said the Republican Party, was the most dangerous and contemptible organization. Thank you. That's exactly where I was going. Darn it. I'm sorry. That's exactly. No,
Starting point is 01:53:37 no, no. That's exactly where I was going. General Michael Hayden tweeted, I agree. And I was the CIA director when someone said that the Republican Party was the most extreme and violent ideology around the world. That they have never come across a political force, more nihilistic, dangerous, and contemptible than today's Republicans.
Starting point is 01:53:56 Nothing close. The CIA director said, I agree and I was the CIA director. And think of the, I mean, China's just one example. No, let me give you this. The New York Times, Charles Blow, is the guy who started this. And this is in an opinion piece saying that Republicans, forget the label. That's people.
Starting point is 01:54:17 Your neighbors. I would not say this. In fact, I correct people who's just on stage this week in Salt Lake. And they were talking about things. And I said, look. we have to look at the people on the other side and we look at them as the enemy. We cannot do that. There are some that will never change, never get it.
Starting point is 01:54:39 And they'll always work to destroy and overthrow and burn things down. Those people will have to be tried in a court of law. Everyone else, we cannot make them in an enemy that we see them our neighbors the same way. Because they're not. They're different. and and this is not what the left, the leadership and the main thinkers and those former CIA director are saying, New York Times, Republicans are America's problem. We must stop thinking it's hyperbolic to say that the Republican Party itself is now our
Starting point is 01:55:17 threat to democracy. I understand the queasiness about labeling many of our fellow Americans in that way. Yeah, only half the country. I understand that it sounds extreme and overreaching. but how else are we going to describe what we're seeing now so you know I'm not a Republican I've never been a registered Republican I voted for everyone from Donald Trump to Joe Lieberman okay I'm an independent but I will be and am a Republican to everyone who would write something like this so independents
Starting point is 01:55:55 don't think that you're immune from this Republicans are the threat to democracy because of their preferred form of democracy, one that excludes and suppresses giving Republicans a fighting chance of maintaining control. That is the danger. For modern Republicans, democracy only works, and it is only worth it when and if they win. Republicans have searched for multiple election cycles for the right vehicle and packaging for their white nationalism, religious nationalism, nativism, craving capitalism, and sexism. He said, they're running headlong and they're bigotries and intolerances and oppressions.
Starting point is 01:56:37 Okay, so that's what they think of us. That's who we are. Now, I want you to know that the guy who wrote that was born in 1968. So I am four years older than him. So we've lived pretty much the same kind of life and seen the same things. This means that he has lived through, I'm speaking globally, not in America, globally. He lived through the tail end of the Soviet Union and the gulags and the torture and the deaths. He lived through Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini and what they're doing today.
Starting point is 01:57:20 with the tortures, the disappearances, the death, throwing homosexuals off the roof of buildings as their punishment in current day Iran. He lived through China's Tiananmen Square. He lived through Iraq's Saddam Hussein. He lived through the Rwandan genocide. He lived through Milosevic in Yugoslavia. Osama bin Laden, Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, what's happening today once again in Afghanistan. Bashir al-Assad, Hezbollah, Hamas, Vladimir Putin, the concentration camps and slavery in China.
Starting point is 01:58:19 and for him today's Republican Party is worse than any of those, quote, by far. Our good Democrat neighbors who have been swept up into craziness, we have to be able to say to them, Look, you may not be a Trump person. I get that. But you're not one of these people that say me, your former friend, your neighbor, your daughter, your son, who you've now said, I want nothing to do because you voted for Donald Trump or you're a Republican. Do you really? Because this is where we're going. It's not just that I can't be friends with you anymore.
Starting point is 01:59:24 you are now putting me into a category that is more violent and extreme than any of that. If you actually don't stand up now and you actually believe that, let me ask you what's the next step. What do you do with 50% of the population that you now believe is worse than the people that ran the gulog? throwing homosexuals off the buildings, torturing women, using them as slaves. What do you do with people that you say are worse than those who are maintaining slave centers
Starting point is 02:00:10 and internment camps? What do you do with those people? Because you certainly can't live next door to them. See, people don't understand. We're on a staircase. And every step you do. take is going down deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and darker and darker. You have to ask yourself, okay, if I believe this, what's next?
Starting point is 02:00:43 And if they say, oh, there's no slippery slope, you remind them that you probably were the person that said, look, I don't have a problem with gay marriage. I thought, I'm not, I'm not a homophobic. Okay, if they want to get married, they can get married. Fine. But let's not change the whole system because the next thing that will be happening is we'll say that men are women and children and pedophiles. That's their own decision. And your neighbor most likely said, you're crazy that would never happen. That's the slippery slope. You cannot accept people who are saying this. Put them on record. Right now, I'm your friend or former friend. You have to stand against this because they didn't just say Republicans. They said Republicans and our neighbors. Back in a minute.
Starting point is 02:01:48 So right about now, the economy being what it is, I'm guessing you'd be perfectly fine with selling your house and moving to, I'm trying to think where you could move where it would be safe. Here's an idea. Move someplace where it's a very small town, just group of farmers. I know they're in trouble too, but group of farmers, people who just find a religious community, I don't care what they are. I'd live with the Amish over any place near Philadelphia or New York. and quite honestly, if they made me wear the black thing and even the bonnet. And they're like, no, you're a girl. Come on, man. No, we're only saying that because you're not really Amish.
Starting point is 02:02:31 We want you to wear the bonnet so we can make fun of you. I would wear the stinking bonnet. All right. Sell your home if you need to. You need somebody who is really good at doing that because it's starting to get dicey on the home front. You want the best price, but you also want to be able to find the right home wherever it you're moving to real estate agents.itrust.com. Go there now. Real estate agents I trust.com. We'll match you with the best people we think are the best real estate agent
Starting point is 02:03:04 in your area. Real estate agents. I trust.com a free service to you. The Glennback program. We're just talking about the former, the former director of the CIA saying Republicans are the most violent extreme political force ever covered dangerous nihilistic yeah this is most dangerous and nihilistic force he's ever seen you
Starting point is 02:03:49 people say this a lot and I think it gets overstated but this is one of the most unbelievable moments in that I can ever remember in politics okay so I would say I started saying that this morning when I first read this okay that this is the most unbelievable thing we say that all the time I think we need to change it on this one
Starting point is 02:04:05 This is the most dangerous thing I have ever seen. Yeah. I mean, think of a CIA director. This is a guy who saw footage of Assad's regime firing chemical weapons at innocent people and gassing children. This is a person who knows with all sorts of detail, Boko Haram, kidnapping children, murdering them, Al-Qaeda, the Chinese government, the Venezuelan government.
Starting point is 02:04:33 The cartels in Central Florida. America. Think of the horrible things. North Korea. This guy has seen it all. That's why it's more dangerous. If Joy Reid would have said it, we have rolled our eyes and went, of course she said that. It still would have been bad and dangerous, but this guy is intimate knowledge of all of this and power. Power. And that's one of the most unbelievable, I mean, the most dangerous moment I've ever seen. This man had this power. This is incredible. We never do that. Oh, oh, wait a minute. we have the Japanese internment camps. The entire country said,
Starting point is 02:05:10 don't interr the Japanese until an event happened, Pearl Harbor. And then it didn't matter what the facts were. A demagogue president whipped him up into power and we interned the Japanese. The Glenn Back Program.
