Today, I'm going to open up the phones for the first hour and take your phone calls. 8-8-8-7-27-B-E-C-K. Now is the time to let America hear your voice. Anything that you want to talk about that we have missed? Anything you think we got wrong? Anything you want more information on? Whatever it is. How can we serve you today? How are you judging what's happening in America today? I'd like to hear your voice, 8-8-8-7-27-B-E-C-K. That's in the first hour right now. So call. us and get in line right now. Also, you know, there was another podcaster out yesterday that was talking about all the things that are wrong with America. They're on our side. All the things that are wrong with the GOP and really not offering any solutions, really quite depressing, quite honestly. I have a couple of solutions for us. You want to fix America and I wish the GOP would listen to. You want to fix America. You want to win the next election. I can show you how you can do it. You have to have a plan. And I heard one yesterday

from Javier Malay that is absolutely fantastic. I want you to hear it from him and we'll do that here in just 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Z Factor. You know, a lot of people who really have some terrible night's sleep, you know, if they do something completely stupid, like go camping, they spend the whole night on a rock

that's supposed to be a mattress. Inside a tent that apparently is made of tissue paper while every squirrel, cricket, and mysterious creature in the forest makes noise all night. But a lot of people don't go camping and wake up feeling that way. They sleep in their own bed every single night, still wake up feeling like they never really rested. That's why I'm a fan of Z Factor from Relief Factor, the people who created Relief Factor.

It's designed to help you get the deep, restful sleep your body needs so you can wake up feeling refreshed instead of exhausted. You want to sleep like you're camping? Go camping. But don't live that way. Give Z Factor a try right now. Go to Relieffactor.com, 800 for relief. That's 1-800, the number four relief, or visit Relief Factor. Better Sleep, Better Days with Z Factor from Relief Factor. So there's this big debate going on right now about what the GOP is not doing. And we talk about it as well. There are lots of things that is GOP is not doing.

The only one that is presenting any kind of answer for where people are truly living, and that is in the supermarket, in their wallet, in their checkbook, you know, at the kitchen table, trying to make the budget balance. Yeah. Congress doesn't have to balance anything. they don't care. They don't understand your life. I'm convinced they don't understand your life. And the GOP is doing nothing. The president is, the president has gone after gas. He's tried. He has, we are producing more gas and oil and LP than ever before. We are now the world's leader in all of those things. There should be trickle down, and there would be if we weren't at war at the same time. He is doing a lot of things, but they're big structural things. He can, it's It's very easy to, you know, do something quickly like he did in 18, but then you could see how fast they turn it off.

He's got to make structural changes. It's up to the GOP now to do some things that would be easy for them to do. Will they do it? I don't think so. Here's one of the things I think the president should announce. Javier Malay has dramatically changed Argentina, dramatically. listen to his fiscal shackle law that he just passed. Listen to this.

This reform won't work on its own. It's part of a broader program that includes a reform we've called the fiscal shackle, a capital market reform, and an insurance market reform, which I will now proceed to explain. Regarding the fiscal shackle, it's a permanent fiscal rule that will ensure Argentina cannot vote for or maintain a deficit budget. Why do we need a law, and why isn't the goodwill of Congress enough? Because history has taught us that Congress is the great ally of public spending,

with last year being a recent example when we fought tooth and nail against dozens of laws that sought to trigger the state's bankruptcy. The thing is, politicians have no incentive to look out for the pockets of Argentines because they're never the ones who pay the price. That's why this project will ensure that whoever causes the damage finally pays for it. In practice, the fiscal shackle will work like this. If the fiscal result is in deficit for several consecutive months, Congress will have a few weeks to bring the accounts back into balance.

If it doesn't, an automatic shutdown will go into effect. Non-essential state activities will be halted. New spending will be frozen, no contracts will be awarded, no staff will be hired, and discretionary transfers to the provinces will be stopped. And most importantly, for the duration of the shackle, the president, vice president, senators, deputies, ministers, secretaries and undersecretaries won't receive a single peso of their salary. For the first time in our history, if politicians don't do their job, the politicians will pay the

price, not the people. Amen. Amen. Amen. Why can't we have some common sense stuff like that? The Congress and the Senate needs to pay the price, not you. They're the ones. I mean, I've got to tell you. I think that, you know, as your cost of living goes up, their salary goes down. If your salary goes up and the cost of living is keeping up with that, I mean, so you're actually making money, your salary is going up and the cost of living is coming down, then they should be able to get a raise or they should be able to keep it. The more trouble this country is in fiscally, the lower their salary should be. because you know who you'll end up getting in, especially if you pass any kind of reform on, you know,

insider training. You know, the only people you're going to get in are the ones who are serious. The ones who, you know, this was never meant to be a job that you wanted. This was supposed to be a job that everybody's like, oh, crap. All right, I'll go to Washington and I'll do it. Somebody's got to do it. That's who we want. That's not who we're getting.

We're getting psychopaths. If I have time this hour, I've got to show you some of the people that are running. psychopaths. No. No. We need people who feel it is their obligation to be there. All right. Let's take some phone calls. I go to Brack in North Carolina. Hello, Brack. Welcome to the Glennbeck program.

This is Brock. Hi. Oh, Brock. I'm sorry. No, that's okay. Okay. Hi. How are you? Good. Good to talk to you. We actually are listening to chasing embers.

as an audiobook together and it is given us such a picture. I want to let my 11-year-old tell you, but it's given us such a picture of what a utopian, quote-unquote, communist society would look like. And even for me, as a 50-year-old, it's just amazing how a story can do that

and show you how all the history, I don't want to give the book away, but all the... Yeah, yeah. All the history, you know, they're not allowed to talk about it. It's considered lies. And when you asked us to talk to our kids about socialism, you know, we've been listening to the book and it's actually doing the same thing, but in a better way that I could do it.

So this is my daughter, C.C. She's 11. I think she wants to say something. All right. Hi, C.C. Hello. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Very good. What's your favorite part of the book? The favorite part of the book is, I think, when she goes and finds Sky and Mr. Amos.

Are you learning something? Are you reading any of the history of it and thinking, I've never heard that before, or you and your mom talking about history that's in the book, what they're finding? I've like never heard like a story like that before but I think it's really fun and I've learned a lot of things about it. That's great. Cici, I'm so glad. Thank you and thank your mom for calling in, will you? Mm-hmm. God bless you.

I hope to meet you someday. Mm-hmm. I hope to meet you too. Okay, C-C. Thank you. Bye. there's so much that is available now at Torch and you can get this anywhere

you get your audiobooks now but there's all kinds of learning that we've been doing for the Torch 250 for the summer of 250 if you want another 250 years we have to teach our kids history we have to teach our kids the principles that we learn everybody talks about it but nobody does it and quite honestly I have to tell you I do this really really

well, I am a wreck as a human being. Because I've done this since I was 13 years old. I know how to talk into this. This is my best friend. My wife is my next best friend. And I have a hard time in real life. I mean, I'll be the first eaten. If the world ever breaks down, I have absolutely no usable skills and I'm very marbled. So I'll be the first to be eaten. And, you know, I talk about these things, but I don't know how to necessarily teach them to my kids. I'm leaving today. I'm going, I'm taking my two kids, my older kids, because they're in college and college age now. And all of their friends are talking about socialism and everything else. And I felt it was important to take them a few places and teach them about the world and

and make sure that it's cemented in them so they see and spend a couple of weeks just listening to my kids, teaching my kids, and it is so important that all of us do this in our own way. So they're prepared. I'm convinced that this alpha generation in particular, C, C, she's part of the generation that is going to save this whole thing. And I think it's really important. By the way, if you weren't listening to The Torch yesterday, please do. There is a special that I cut.

It's an hour-long special. No commercials. It's just you and me. And I'm talking about the things that are coming our way that nobody is really understanding yet. And it's vital that you understand. Everything is a double-edged sword right now. Everything will either slice our heads off or we'll use that sword. for defense, but it's going to be close on which way is this thing going to go. And I, with AI,

I went into some things that people don't think, you know, you don't own anything. You put your pictures on the cloud. You don't really own those pictures anymore. You keep all your movies with Amazon or Apple and you buy them. Well, you only buy those until they lose the licensing agreement. They'll have an agreement for like eight years or 10 years. When that 10 years is up, those, videos are just going to disappear. You don't own anything. Gee, doesn't that sound familiar? The W.E.A.F. You won't own anything and you'll be happy. You don't own anything. You don't own the books that you download. And I talked to you yesterday about buying paper copies of books. Please watch this special. You're going to be way far ahead. But I think I showed you through history,

a fascinating story in history, where this has already happened, but it's going to happen without a tyrant's jackbooted thugs coming into your house without 1984 it's going to happen overnight and i i want you to watch this special it's for torch insiders glenbeck.com slash torch glenbeck dot com slash torch if you were somebody who is who wants to be ahead so when your friends say why the hell of this happen you know the answers you had seen it coming you know you know what to do and you can prepare. And this is one of the very few things that I have talked about on the air that is a massive problem that actually has a very simple solution that requires no one but you.

So please, glendbeck.com slash torch. All right, let me go to Karen in Texas. Hello, Karen. Hi, Glenn. How are you? Hello? I'm fine. How are you?

Good. I'm very good. How can I help you today? Well, you know, we have a problem with communist in our country right now. Yeah, yeah. Well, there's a law that was passed in 1954 that was signed in the law by Dwight Eisenhower on August 24, 1954, that prohibits members of communist organizations from serving in certain representative capacities and for other purposes.

And I don't hear anybody talking about this law. And I'm wondering if the president... Go ahead. It's, uh, hello? Yeah, go ahead. You're wondering if the president knows about this law. And or Ted Cruz or any of our senators that are Republicans. Let me look it up myself.

Give me a couple of minutes and let me look it up myself and see what the status is on this. I appreciate it. Thank you very much for your phone call. Let me take a break and back to your phone calls, international fellowship. There's a phrase people use, you know, living history. And at first, at a glance, it sounds like a contradiction, living history. History is supposed to be something you read about in a book. But every now and then, you meet somebody who reminds you that history isn't something that just happen. Sometimes it's a person. Sometimes it's a Holocaust survivor who isn't just somebody who knows history. They lived it. They carry memory. They carry members. memories that no museum can preserve, no documentary can ever fully capture. And every time we lose

one of those men or women, the world loses a voice that can never be replaced. That's one of the reasons I'm really grateful for the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and they provide food, shelter, and care for Holocaust survivors and other vulnerable Israelis, making sure that the people who have carried some of history's heaviest burdens are not forgotten in the later years of their life. I want you to join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and praying for the people of Israel for protection, for peace, for strength, for lasting peace, for the entire Middle East, that we can get past this and we can start living, you know, kind of a little bit in harmony, maybe. With God's help, we can do it. Pray. Go to prayifcj.org. Sign up now, prayifcj.org. 10 seconds,

station ID. All right, let me go to, is it Gil in Pennsylvania? Hello, Gil. Hello, Glenn. I'd like to take issue with your assertion that I know that in a theoretical sense, there's a difference between Islamists and a Muslim. However, in World War II, do we fight the Nazis? No. When we bombed Dresden, did we bomb the Nazis? No. We fought the Germans. We killed the Germans. The Nazis would have had. no power whatsoever if it weren't for the average Germans who built the, you know what I'm saying, Glenn. Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a violent religion. It is antithetical to every Christian precept. And if we have them in our midst, okay, you've never know. Maybe, you know, Muslim A is a Muslim, but his son reads the Koran, he gets radicalized, and he's out killing people soon. It's going to happen. We have to purge our nation of these people.

Is it going to happen? No, I know it's not. But it's the only way we can preserve America. Okay, that's an awful lot. This is a bigger topic and deserves more than just a two-minute response, but let me give you a two-minute response. We have done several shows that lean into this a little harder, and maybe some point we should just do a whole show on it. And I have invited people that have an opinion both ways. I have come to the conclusion that Islam needs reform.

Period. It has never been reformed. It has never been like, you know, the Jews and the Christians have looked at the Old Testament and said, okay, well, we don't do animal sacrifices anymore. You know, it's not literally an eye for an eye anymore. We don't do those things, okay? That's primitive. We don't do those things. Islam has never had that. Now, there are moderating factors in some people, but this is something that Judy Zudy Jasser is all about, who is a Muslim friend of mine and a very good man, very good man. very good man. And he has been trying to get Islam to reform. And so there are good people, just like there were good Germans. You're right that we fought the Germans. We fought the Germans because

you're exactly right, again, that the majority of Germany just went along with it. Let's put this in today's world. we are fighting the Islamists in Persia, in Iran. Do you want to kill all the Persians? Do you want to kill all the Iranians?

Because I don't. Because I think a good portion of them, maybe 60, 70% are great. I think they're great. They're terrified of saying anything. Because just like in Germany, they were rounded up and killed. You stand up against this administration in Iran. same with Hitler. You're killed. Your whole family is killed.

So most people are not heroic. I wish they were, but they're not. And they need signs that, okay, we can stand up and it's safe and we're not going to get killed in the end because we have no way to fight this thing. We have to know the allies are on their way. That's when you saw Valkyrie. That's when you saw people stand up

and they all said the same thing. I'm not doing it unless you can kill that guy. Because that guy will kill all of us. That's the problem. Now, you are right about a vast majority. I believe it's 60%. Here in America, want Sharia law. That is incompatible with the Western way of life.

And that is something that we must be clear on. it's Sharia law is a hard no a hard pass but I don't like getting into blanket blame on anything especially when we have a chance to possibly bring some people over to our side if we can if we can get the people to rise up once they know their regime is going to fall

that's the best of all worlds all right let me tell you about rough greens and I know that's not satisfying and I'm sorry If you're anything close to being a good dog owner, you keep that water bold fill pretty much day and night, especially with temperatures that are happening right now. You probably figure that hydration-wise, that's good enough. And, you know, maybe it is for some dogs. Dry kibble typically contains only about 8 to 10 percent moisture, which means your dog has to drink a lot more to compensate. Many dogs simply don't do it.

That can become even more of an issue as they get older because dog's natural thirst response may diminish with age. That's why I like Rough H2O. You add a packet to your dog's water. It provides electrolytes, amino acids, hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin B12 to support hydration, energy, joint, comfort, all of this stuff. Your dog's entire diet may have changed from what nature originally provided. Rough H2O is a simple way to put some back what is missing into their bowl of water and food. One bag equals seven daily packs, weak supply by two bags, get a third one completely free. No code is needed.

Just go to roughh2.com. RUFFH2.com. Don't just read history. Experience it with the American story series at glenbeck.com slash torch. Today's the day to get on the phone. 8.8-727BECK. I want to hear what you're thinking about.

Where are you on the state in America, what you're seeing, and what's going on? Bob in Oklahoma, go ahead. You're on. Hello, Glenn. We spoke about this a year or so ago. The lack of accountability and arrests for everything that's happening. I fear that if we lose the midterms, it's going to be the daily impeachment, you know, from the radical left.

And we're going to be done, the progressives of one. And I don't know, you know, it's just late in the game. You know, we get sort of the election and they start saying, well, we don't have such an election. We're going to tell after before they hold anybody accountable. So I really think we're done. Well, I don't want to be blackpilled here. We're not done. I don't think God is done with us.

So, you know, let's not count, let's not count miracles from him. However, we're not helping anything. You know, I think last time we spoke, you know, I know I said at the time that if we don't have serious arrests, we're going to lose and we deserve to lose. And I still feel that way. You know, what what Rand Paul is doing with Fauci, he's the only serious. serious one, but I think we're making a critical mistake on this. He is trying, you know, trying to get his committee to hold him in contempt of Congress, which means they can put him in prison. I don't think that is the most effective thing because I'm not sure he's going to get the vote.

If he knows he has the vote and he can get that done, then it's got to go to the DOJ. Are they going to do anything? I don't know. I don't know. Because I don't know what game everybody is playing. I said, you know, with a Fauci thing, I would give him congressional immunity. And then he has to testify, because all I want is the truth. All I want is an end to all of this nonsense where I have to listen to people on television

tell me that I'm a far right-wing conspiracy theorist. They have not read anything. They got all their news from either CNN or the New York Times, and they haven't read anything. They don't know the evidence. That evidence needs to be sealed. It needs to have the same. seal of approval on it. And the way to do that is with Fauci. But he may be the only one,

and that's because of one guy. That's because of one guy. Thanks for your call, Bob. Let me go back to something a caller said earlier about there's a law that bans communists from serving in federal government. She said that it was a Communist Control Act of 1954. I looked it up. That's not what it did. It declared the Communist Party USA to be part of a conspiracy to overthrow the government, sought to strip the party of certain legal rights and privileges, reflected the anti-communist climate of the Cold War, and often associated with Joseph McCarthy. However, it did not prohibit communists

from serving in Congress or federal offices. It really didn't have much of an effect because later court decisions strengthened the First Amendment protections on beliefs. There have been other laws and policies related to communists and government, The Smith Act, which made it a crime to advocate for the violent overthrow of the government or to organize for that purpose. It targeted conduct and advocacy of violent overthrow, not simply holding communist beliefs. That's a good one. Federal employee loyalty and security programs during late 1940s and 50s were used to screen government employees for alleged communist affiliation.

Many of these programs were later narrowed or abandoned. Constitution sets out, all the qualifications for members of Congress and presidency and political ideology, that alone is not disqualification. So you can hold these things. I'd like to look up the Smith Act. Would you look up the Smith Act for me, Jason, and see if that's still in effect? Because I think if you're trying to violently overthrow the government to the United States,

you know, no, no. If you want to, you know, your oath is I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. I don't know how you do that if you want to overthrow it, and I don't know how you do it if you want to violently overthrow it. So let me go to Eric in Pennsylvania. Hello, Eric. Hey, Glenn, how are you? Great.

Hey, I just want to give you a little insight and everything I'm going to tell you is actually comes from the people that were involved. This is not like second-hand stories. This is actually from the people who live through it. My mother, my grandfather, my uncle and my grandmother, well, they were in East Germany when the communist came over. And the first thing they did was they got people together and they were like, listen, this is going to be good for you.

Like everything we're going to do is going to everyone's going to be fed. Everyone's going to be working. Everyone's going to, you know, it's got, you know, you're going to, everything can be okay. Great. Yeah, great. So the first thing they did was they took. our farm. I mean, like, no one had a farm anymore. You, as a farmer, we're ordered to work on, you could be working on, you know, Mr. Gruber's farm or Mr. Stolzfuz's farm, but you're not working

on your farm. And they told you what to grow. And the farmers got together and go, that doesn't grow here. You can't grow that. They go, the communists said, we don't care. So my grandfather was what they call the Burger Meister. He was the mayor of this farming village. And they would come to him and they would go, here's your list of the food that you're supposed to supply to the state that comes from this village. And it was always about 110% more than what the village could actually produce. The guy above my grandfather, the communist commissar that would come to him and talk to him,

he would get a cut. Like, okay, it would either be a side of beef, it would be an extra pig. He got his cut. The guy above him got his cut, you know, so it was a scheme, you know, and these communist guys were getting rich and everybody was starving. That was a fact. My grandmother said, you know how, Glenn, you know how when you get up one day on a Saturday, you go, look, I want to run down to, I'm going to go buy a bunch of pork chops and, you know, or a couple steaks. That's not how it was in these communist grocery stores. What my grandmother said was, I'm going to go see what's there.

like I'm gonna see what's there. She said sometimes you'd go there and there'd be like, like a chunk of meat, that's it, you know, or there'd be nothing. Sometimes there was nothing there in the stores. And, you know, it was a brutal time. They took the church, they were taking the church apart, and this was what's really scary. The priest and the family, they disappeared.

They were, they were disappeared. One day they were no longer in the village, they were gone. village, they were gone. And my grandmother walked over to the one guy that was, they were just mailing the church. They were taking the cross off the steeple. They were pulling all the pews out. And she said, what are you doing? She goes, oh, this is going to be a warehouse now. And she goes, where are we going to, you know, what are we going to pray to? Where are we going to go to church? And the guy said, and this is no lie. The guy said, the state is your God right now. That's what she says, you know. And then, oh, it gets better. And then her brother owned a motor factory

that made electric motors. And these were high-quality electric motors that you could, you know, had gears on them in different-sized gears and things like that. The state took that over. The communist took that over. And what happened was

nobody actually owned the building or the business. So guess what? It fell apart. Nobody was in charge. No one cared. The roof started leaking. You know, things were breaking down.

But there was nobody, if you own that building as an entrepreneur, you go, look, I'm going to fix this roof. This is mine. Correct. You know? Nobody cared. So that, and then they, everyone did the bare minimum because why would you do any more? So you only made X amount of motors per month.

And then, and then if anybody did more than that, the men got together and cornered him and said, stop it. You know, we're just not how we're doing this, you know. And so that, they ran that place into the ground and it fell apart. Yeah, well, it is the same story over and over and over again, and you're talking about, you know, grocery stores. Hey, do we have the Mom Donnie update? Let me give you the grocery store of Mom Donnie update.

Eric, thanks so much for your phone call. What? 40 million starving still they bow. Right. Right. Mows, pew, pew, pew, pow. It's the same story over and over and over and over and over again. What Eric was just saying is absolutely coming here to America because socialism is the same.

And I will tell you, look at how vindictive the people are. They're not. They say they're doing this because they love and respect. But look at how vindictive they are. If you don't fall in line, you're dead to them. You give those people power, as Lindsay Graham said, boy, what you will do to get power and I hope to God you never get it. you have Mamdani now admitting his people that are putting these supermarkets together, they're now admitting the city has no idea how to run a grocery store.

And so they're looking for people. And that's the problem. When he was saying that they would just come in and say, you have to grow this, well, wait, that doesn't grow here. That's why central planning doesn't work. Because the people who are in charge have no. idea how it is how what how to grow things what grows where they have no idea do you really think that the people in Washington know how to do your job i'll bet you if you work at a factory or

something really pretty much any business how many times have you worked in a business where you knew the people up at top they knew how to do your job they could do your job they knew it inside and out. And they had a real handle on what was happening in the front of the house or on the front line. They knew it. They were in touch with it. And you could look at them and go, I can see why they're making that decision. That's a wise decision. How many times have you worked for somebody like that? Now, they're there in the building with you or they're in just that one company. Do you really think Washington, D.C., or these big city governments that have none of these people, have any experience at all in how to work the free market, how the market even works.

Their whole thing is communism. It's Marxism. Read it. I urge you, if you have not read Carl Marx, you must read Carl Marx. It's insanity. You read it and you're like, that makes no sense whatsoever. They're basing all of their economic policies on that. No. No. No. Because, you know, it will choke us to death the way it does every single time. All right, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. I think most of us gotten a little more curious over the last few years. I have. I'm sure you have.

We want to know where our food comes from. We want to know where our food comes from, how things are made. You know, the companies we do business with because we've learned, the name on the building doesn't always tell you what they believe. That's probably a healthy thing. When you spend your money with a company every single month, you ought to have some idea what the company is doing with the profits you help create. That's one of the reasons I like my Patriot Mobile.

Patriot Mobile, they give you great nationwide coverage on all three networks. So you get the same great coverage. You're going to save money. You keep your phone, keep your number, or you can switch if you want. Get a U.S.-based team that makes switching super easy. But what sets them apart is they contributed millions of dollars to support the Constitution, free speech, religious liberty, sanctity of life, all of these things. Your money is going to work one way or another.

It is. It's worth knowing who you've hired it to work for. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck, 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot use a promo code Beck at a free month of service.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program, Laura in Ohio. Welcome. How are you?

Good morning, Glenn. How are you today? I am great. I had wanted to see what your recommendation would be. If you have books in your collection that when I die, nobody's going to want. You know, what do you do with those? I have a 1936 copy of Gone with the Wind from the United. The year of published? Okay.

I believe so. I don't know if it's from June when it was first published. I can't determine that. But it's from 1936 and I'm looking around now at all the books that I have. I have an extensive Civil War history collection. Nobody's going to want those. I know it's so sad, isn't it, Laura? I might even, you know, my kids, they're going to look at all the stuff I have and they're

going to go glad dad has a museum because i don't know what to do with this um but uh laura here's what i would do i would get you know if you if you're interested in the money i would see if there's somebody that can give you an estimate on what some of this stuff is worth the rare books are probably worth something um if that's a first edition copy of gone with the wind it's worth something if you want it to be preserved uh and you want to add it to our library you could always donate it to mercury one they don't take everything but they can at least evaluate you could send a list of everything you have and they can evaluate it and they can help you through that. But it's sad that you don't have any children that are going to be,

they're going to want any of this stuff. But whatever you do, just don't just dump it off someplace. You know, call our library and see if there's anything that, you know, we might be able to do with it and see if there's any value in it. Sometimes, unfortunately, it just doesn't have any value. But we save an awful lot just in case it does be. become valuable later. We collect a lot of stuff that is current right now as well. Thank you, Laura. Put her on hold and see if you can get her in touch with Mercury 1. Let me go to Mark in

Georgia quickly. Hello, Mark. Hey, Glenn, great to talk to you. You and I are of the same age. You're a couple of a bunch younger than I am, but we're both born in 64 of the last of the boomers. I'm a history nerd myself. I spent three years in Berlin from 1986. 1989 as a soldier. I guarded Rudolph Hess before he died. We left to say the Berlin Wall fell. You know, I went to where Hitler hung up the generals

by their necks, you know, by the lot, piano wire. And there's a lot of goes there. But my point was, we'd spend a lot, we would go into East Berlin. We had to go in uniform. And I wish now that I could have a time machine and take all these

these young kids that are spouting socialist and show them what exactly East Berlin and West Berlin were like comparatively. Very big different. Mark, I could spend all day talking to you. I know you wanted to talk about some other things. Put him on hold, get his number,

pass him on to Mercury 1 as well, American Journey experience. Great, great conversation, thanks. Here's a question that I want you to ask yourself.

They want to talk about communism, socialism, and they want to talk about Islamists and the mixing of those two.

And it's interesting. Yesterday, we had a hearing on Capitol Hill of, is the Muslim Brotherhood connecting with the DSA? What is the effect and what is the power of the Muslim Brotherhood right now? and are they in league with the DSA? You know how many Democrats showed up for that? Zero. Let me say that again.

Zero. There's no Democrat in Congress that wants to hear about the effects of the Muslim Brotherhood on our own politics? Well, that's where we are. Good thing you're not there. We're going to talk about that also, some of the other. I mean, I want to just show you a list of people that are running. We start with Tala Rico.

But Talarico looks like a dream come true compared to some of the other people running, and I'll explain in 60. First, let me tell you about rapid radios. You take your family to the county fair, and before you've even made it through the gate, half of them are already heading inside while you're still circling the field looking for a parking space. And they're texting you, they're texting you saying, where are you? You're trying to describe a row of cars that looks exactly like every other row of cars. And by the time you finally park, they've moved on from the ticket booth to the food vendors

without telling you and then they're up vomiting on rides. I mean, it's good. Forget the texting. Forget the phone. Here's what you need. You need this little teeny device. It's called Rapid Radio. You know, all you do is you just touch and everybody hears you.

Tal Rico, Texas. It's Talarico, Texas, where the brisket's made a piece. Where we are 24 this town. Sing it louder. Boys, we ain't backin down. Something out in Los Angeles. Any Texas voters in an old milk court, Dido. God ain't he or she might be a they or them. Lights, boys, and bolted for the van. Texas kind of highway.

Well, a van's a kind of man. Go Texas. 24. That's right. That's right. That's right. Bless this long star Working on his bone deep

It's been a me since spring Yeah, if you catch him working on that Twang, you don't worry. He's had that thing since, well, since spring, he has. You know, he was, he suddenly discovered barbecue. He was an all tofu kind of guy.

Oil and gas, Texas independence. I mean, now that he needs Republican votes, this guy is a total fraud, and hopefully Texas will see through this. but he is there's all kinds of different politicians. He is more of your typical fraud that believes in all of these things, but now will no longer say them. Then you have Francesca Hong. She's a current Democratic gubernatorial candidate for the state of Wisconsin.

She was at a Culver's fast food restaurant. And this is what she posted. Now listen to this. I ate two bites of my kids cheeseburger at a Culver's. in Black River Falls and told them, they told him that they had run out of ice cream. Mostly, I just wanted to leave because I was on the verge of an anxiety attack.

Too many old white people who didn't think we spoke English. And she's running for governor. Now remember, she's the one that has been institutionalized for mental illness. And I don't have a problem. Everybody has a problem from time to time, you know, depending on degrees.

You know, she has issues. She's bipolar. as long as she's on our medication, I don't hold this against her. You know, we have to have forgiveness, and we also have to have understanding of medical stuff. However, I'm on the verge of an anxiety attack. I lied to my child because I wanted to get away from all the old white people. That's possibly your next governor.

And you know who would understand that? Tala Rico. Tala Rico would understand that. Then let's go to Hawaii. Let's just start looking at all of the candidates. In Hawaii, the Maui Police Department said that there was a confrontation that happened on the beach. 61-year-old man asked 41-year-old Caril Basin to lower the volume of his music. Now, they're on the beach.

They're all, you know, we all have to get together. We all want to be on the beach together, right? So could you, I'm sorry, my wife and I, could you just, could you lower the 61 years old? Could you just lower the music a little bit? he turns to him and says, watch your effin mouth. And then he allegedly threatened the man by implying he had a firearm

and he said he would shoot the guy's wife if he didn't shut up. Basin is seen, because people started video right away, Basin is seen in the video saying, I told him if he wants to go to the hospital just to come here. Someone's heard saying it's over, it's over.

Basin temporarily agrees. However, seconds later, Basin screams, hey, F you, F you. Now, a man who's not the 61-year-old guy, he's watching this and he's like, somebody's got to stand up to this guy. This guy's a total beach bully. And so he comes up to him and says,

hey, can you please calm down, stop right now? By the way, Basin is a Democratic candidate for Congress. And he says, what are you going to do about it? Like he's four years old. A woman then says, what are you? A child? And he says, yeah, I am a child. I'm 40 effing years old.

He is so cool. Then he says to the woman, I'm going to put you into the hospital, B. So this guy gets closer and closer and he's like, I've got to stop this guy. He's completely out of control. Holman claimed Basin threatened him by saying, I'm going to hurt you. I'm going to put you in the hospital. And then he picks up a chair and he swings it at this guy. And that's when this guy, he's had enough.

Quote, he put his hands on me, and as soon as he tried to shove me, I hit him with a left and then a right. That's when he stumbled and fell over the chairs. Apparently, he lost consciousness after falling backwards following the punch. Holman, the guy who threw the punch, is down on the ground in the video. Soon as he comes down, he's like, hey, wake up, wake up. You okay? Wake up. Once he regained consciousness, he said, you're going to jail.

Well, guess who's up in jail? mainly because apparently he pulled a knife on the guy and then he said he threatened to use it on the guy and then he took it and he threw it into the ocean. Holman ended up pulling the knife out of the water so he could give it to the police. But this isn't the first time this has happened. Honolulu's civil beat noticed that

the challengers in this are all relatively unknown candidates and pointed out that the long shot was Basin, arrested in May for pulling a gun on county workers in a government building. He was arrested and charged with felony first degree terroristic threatening. He denied that he had the firearm or that he was even making these threats. Two days before that, he had to be forcibly removed from the South Maui Town Hall meeting, engaged in a verbal altercation with council members, Tom Cook and staff members. Cook's executive assistant obtained a temporary restraining order against him within two hours.

He said in his petition, I did not answer Basin's phone call. He left a message telling me that I was a piece of trash and I could think, I should think about my family and insisted that I call him back. Additional texts were sent on the same day. Basin wished me luck in prison. Then at 9 p.m. he just texted and said, you're effed. This guy is mentally unstable. And he's running. Now, to be fair, Chuck Edwards.

He's just abandoned his reelection for a North Carolina seat. Ethics panel released an investigation found substantial evidence that the congressman repeatedly made unwanted advances towards two female staffers. He says, I love this. After much prayer and reflection. Wait a minute. You're harassing women? After much prayer and reflection.

I've decided to withdraw from my re-election campaign. I'll still complete my current term serving Western North Carolina. I've been in honor of my life. Thank you for your trust, your prayers, and your support. He, by the way, is a Republican. Okay. Then you have this guy, and I think he's a Republican, too. The flock camera thing is getting out of control.

I'm dead set against these flock cameras. Dead set. But I have talked about it before and said, look, you cannot take these flock cameras and destroy them. because all you're doing is you're proving the point for the people who want them. They'll just say, see, this is why we need them. This is why we need them. And what will happen?

You'll destroy it. They'll have a purchase order the next day and they'll replace it. It's not the way to end the flock cameras. So this is a candidate running for Tennessee's second congressional district. I would imagine that he is a Republican in the story. I don't think it says what he is, but they refer to him as a patriot. and blah, blah, blah. He admitted to shooting down four automated license plate reader cameras,

including at least one made by flock safety, the surveillance company at the center of the growing national privacy fight. He said, we got to ban these dag-gum things. Yes, that's the way you do it. That's the way you do it. I am not against surveillance cameras with local companies for their parking lots, for inside the stores. If that's what they want to do, you do that.

But that is not shared information. You can subpoena that information, but that is not shared information. These flock cameras are, it is the beginning of the 1984 prison. But you don't shoot them down. Don't. Don't.

Then let me tell you what I think is happening. A lot of this stuff is happening because our culture and our society is completely out of control. There are no consequences anymore. none. And we also are attracting now the craziest people. What else is happening? What else is happening? There was something that happened on Tuesday night. I didn't have a chance to touch on yesterday and I want to touch on it before I leave. Perez Hilton, if you know that name, you know him probably and you think, isn't he the guy who's a real lefty and really vile and despicable? And the

answer is yes. Until he got sick this year, really, really deathly ill. I want to tell you this story because what he did on Tuesday, I think is a warning. And, you know, I'm going to explain it two different ways. But it's a sign of the times. Let me explain 60 seconds. If somebody had told you a few decades ago, somebody, someday, the most valuable thing you own wouldn't be your house, your car, even the money in your bank account, you'd be like, well, what do I own? You, your name, your good credit, who you are, your social security number, your banking information, your credit card history, the things that prove actually who you are. Who you are is the most valuable commodity a criminal can sell. They don't have to break a window, pick a lock, they just have to steal your

identity and suddenly you're the one who has to prove you're you and that is a nightmare. That's why I like LifeLock and have had LifeLock for a probably quarter of a century now.

a dispatched call regarding Perez Hilton's hospitalization. 1041 Tuesday night dispatch call came in for a suicide attempt at the 48-year-old's Miami address. Okay. Multiple units responded, including fire. They responded to an active police scene. Additional units were advised to stand by. This is such a tragic story. Let me take you, and I'll do this with some audio here. Let me take you through where he has been. You know the, you know the fact that he was a lefty but a hardcore really bad guy really really bad guy okay um and then he says he gets really sick he has septus i think septus septus i believe and really sick in the hospital very

very ill um and um he's going through all kinds of um treatment for it almost dies and then he comes out and he says god spoke to me and i want to play this back Listen to Flashback to Cut Ten. You guys, God just spoke to me. He gave me a real and loud sign. Hello, my friend. It is Perez Hilton, lover of Christ, saved by God recently from two near-death experiences. and I am reborn with a new lease on life, a new knowing that God is real, that God loves me, and a newfound

faith. Faith is hard whenever, right? But I think faith is even harder when it's a foreign concept to you. I used to never have faith. And now I'm calling upon. that. And God just said, keep at it. I'm still dealing with this very unpleasant thing that the devil threw my way, but I have let go and let God. I have prayed about it. So many of you all have prayed for me and I'm calm. So he goes, he goes on, I don't know the timeline, but not long after this, he goes on and he does a podcast where he is apologizing for all of the things and he's trying to make amends. And he has said, I've called people I deeply hurt.

And it was just, I was part of a really bad thing. And I'm trying to stop and I'm trying to be. be a better man. I'm trying to live more like Christ wants me to live. But he also says this, listen to this, cut nine. I've got so much to be thankful for. So, he is

playing this video and he posted himself with captions and music only saying, via font, the devil, the devil is trying to bring me down. But I'm relying on his faith to get him having him get me through this.

Okay. So he is now saying the devil is pushing back on me. Now let me take you to Tuesday. I am not going to play the video because it is extraordinarily disturbing. I'm going to blur it all out

and you'll understand why. And you lose a lot of the effect when you don't see it. Because I saw it and you'll never unsee it. And that's why. I don't want to open this door. But he goes and he is, he is doing this live podcast for 30 minutes and he has got a knife and he is cutting himself all over. And he's saying, I know God loves me, but I'm such a horrible

human being. I'm just so bad. I'm just so bad. It's not worth living. I wonder what it will be like in the, in the afterlife. And he is cutting himself. Now, some people said, this is AI. It's not. He's now in the hospital and police have also verified that this was real. So this is not AI. And when you're watching it, you are watching a man. Well, I'll tell you, there's two options here. And I don't know him, but I have seen this movie recently before. And I think there is a trend on this. We have deep mental illness, but I think we also have possession going on. The devil is just as real as God is, and he's going to take you out. You will be his, especially if you've been his.

Getting out of that is a nightmare. I'll explain coming up. First, let me tell you about relief factor. If you've never lived with frequent pain, it's hard to explain what it's like. The biggest problem is when you're the one living with it, you can't talk your way out of it. You can't reason with it either. You just find yourself playing this endless game of trying one thing after another, hoping that maybe, just maybe, this will be the thing that finally makes the difference.

And after a while, a lot of people decide, this is just how life is going to be. I know that feeling really well. I live with some pretty severe pain in my hands for years. Honestly, I didn't think it would ever change. Then Tanya encouraged me to try Relief Factor, and I did. And after I stopped taking it because I said, ah, this isn't working. This is just, this is me just feeling better. I stopped taking it, and it came back with a vengeance.

I got to tell you, I haven't stopped taking it. 10. Over a million people have tried relief factor. Two-thirds of them gone on to order more. You can get three weeks for just $17.76. Just go to Relieffactor.com, 804 relief. Relieffactor.com, 804 relief.

So it's Tuesday night, Miami.

Perez Hilton. He's alone in his house. He's live on TikTok. I won't describe what happened next enough to say it's a horror show, an absolute horror show. He's cutting himself. And it looks demonic. It really does. He's covered in blood.

And thousands of people watched it happen. He's alive. It's been verified. It's not AI. It's not a trick. He's in the hospital. All kinds of lacerations. He's also undergoing psychiatric evaluation.

His family put out a statement asking for privacy and thanking people for their prayers. His own manager said Wednesday, they still have not been able to reach him. Now, as I told you, for five months before Tuesday, this is the part that's worth your time. In March, he got the flu. He took his medication without food, and it burned a hole in his stomach. ulcer perforated. He went septic and spent 21 days in a hospital in Las Vegas and nearly died twice. He got a blood clot in his leg, another procedure. So close to death twice. He came out of that, and as I just played for, he told the world God had presented himself to him. He was careful about the wording. He said it was not a feeling. He said he grew up Catholic, baptized, First Communion, confirmed seven years of Jesuit school. That's a problem.

and then that he had never really been a believer until now. And he said God had been calling out to him for years, and he no longer needed to hope. He said, I have it. And he said, I started to take my kids to church every single week. Then he posted a nine-minute video apologizing. This is a man who built his empire out of cruelty. He made his money for 20 years drawing on photographs of people's faces.

And he said, my mistakes are public. the internet is forever, receipts are forever. I carry deep regret and shame. And then he publicly and privately apologized to dozens of people. And he said, there were still people out there that wanted me to suffer and pay. And he said, that's

valid. I earned those thoughts, but I forgive myself. In June, he said, God told him to move to Miami, and he took his three kids, all under 14, back to the city where he grew up. On July 22nd, on Instagram, he was grinning, reading Bible verse,

about the value of work, joking that scripture says work, work, work, centuries before Rihanna said it. Monday, he posts something else about stepping away from the spotlight, and he closed it by wishing well to anyone out there who is hurting. Then Tuesday night comes. Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office start getting calls. This is, is this the case of illness? Let me make that case.

Look at the load the man was carrying. Septus that nearly killed him. Three weeks in bed. Emergency surgery. A clot. Emergency surgery. A single father of three small children with no second parent in the house. Tore up his life in Las Vegas after three and a half years moves across the country. Five weeks ago on camera, he tells his audience, he's in a spiral, he's anxious, he's overwhelmed. He feels the devil is coming after him. The body does things to the mind. It does. Critical illness, septus, long ICU stays. They leave people in real cognitive and psychiatric damage and it shows up sometimes. weeks or months later. Add sleeplessness, a move, no support system. The man had just spent five months publicly excavating his 20 years of shame in front of his own

audience. Okay. Bad. Bad. I'd say the same thing about a lot of what we're watching all the time. The young man charged with shooting an insurance executive on the Manhattan sidewalk. Young man charged with killing Charlie Kirk. the men who, after President Trump, when the mind arrives at a place where killing a stranger is the logical next step, something in that mind has come apart.

Okay. So we could leave it at that. We could leave that this is medical. Okay. And it very well might be. Prosecutors in those cases argue ideology, not illness. Manifestos, planning rehearsal. That is, that isn't confusion. That's conviction. Okay. And I think all of this, be true. And that's the uncomfortable part. Ideology doesn't create the sickness. It gives the sickness a target and a script. And it hands a disordered mind, a reason and a costume. Okay. Now here's the part that people are going to get wrong, one way or another. Okay. And I'm not going to tell you what's inside of his head. I'm not going to tell you what's going on because I don't know. You don't know. His doctors barely know. Anybody who goes on television or in podcast this week's and diagnosis, is either chemical or a demon in a stranger that you've never met is selling you something.

I'm saying, just pray for him, whatever it is. But I wanted to point something out because of him, but separate from him. 15 minutes, thousands of people, some of them begged him to stop. Some of them just hit record. Some of them reposted it specifically so it would outlive the takedown. And it did. TikTok says it's automated systems flagged. the stream within minutes and then routed it to human moderators and then, in their words,

a moderator error caused a delay in the removal. A moderator error, which means somebody had it up on a screen and they decided not to stop it. A man bleeding, an audience, and a machine engineered to gather the crowd and hold it there. You can call that technology if you want, but it's the oldest architecture in the history of man. And we've been. here before. I really wrestled with. The reason why I didn't talk about this yesterday is because I really wrestled with this. I went back to Augustine.

1600 years ago, Augustine writes down what happened to his best friend. His name was Alapaias. He was young, gifted, studying law in Rome. One afternoon, all of his friends grabbed him and drag him to the Coliseum for the games. And he fought them the whole way. He said, you can haul my body into that place, but you cannot make me watch it. I will be there, but I will be absent.

And he sat down in the amphitheater and he shut his eyes. Then something really gruesome happened. Man goes down in the sand and the entire crowd roars at once. And Alapias opens his eyes. Augustine says his friend took a wound in the soul deeper than the wound the fighter took in his body, and he drank it in. He was not the man who had walked through that gate. He was now one of the crowd. And he came back to the crowd, to the Coliseum, and the next time he brought other people with him. Notice what got him. Not the men who dragged him, not the

gladiator. It was the roar of the crowd that got him. What got him was the belief that he could sit in that room and not be in that room. Tuesday night, there were thousands of people in that room. Read what they wrote afterwards. I didn't go looking for it. I wish I wouldn't have seen it. It's my job to see things and then decide what do I show you. But I'll tell you 1,600 years, the only thing that has changed is that the amphitheater fits in your hand, that the Coliseum is in your hand and it never closes. So make the case for even. I think you can make case that evil is on a rampage. I think I have friends who are being affected by the dark side.

And they all are friends that have just found Christianity or found God. And I have warned one of my friends when he said, you know, I just started reading the Bible. I said, please be careful. Please be careful. Read it. Pray. Listen to him. Read the words.

But be careful what comes around you. you because you have a very strong voice and Satan does not want your voice right now, preaching God. Be very careful because you will come under attack in ways you cannot understand. I know I have been there. And when you least expect it, expect it. I've been in a hospital once and they had me on so much medication. And I was at a spiritual high when I went in. I had to have some surgery done.

I was a spiritual high, and they, I have very high tolerance. You know, I'll drink you under the table. I mean, I have such a high tolerance. I've woken up on the operating table twice. They just can't keep me down. And they couldn't keep me out of pain. And so they gave me fentanyl and morphine and all kinds of stuff. This cocktail that should have killed me.

But I was in the hospital from a spiritual high in 24 hours. I would have thrown myself out of the window because now this could be spiritual, I believe it was, could be just medication. But I swear to you, I heard, you think you know how I can destroy you, I will destroy your family and take it apart piece by piece. And in some ways, that has happened to my family.

But I would have thrown myself out of that window. I'm telling you I believe God is real. But I believe Satan is just as real. and we are now in the battle of the big boys and we can choose aside. I don't know if Perez something had taken hold of him or not. Maybe it was just sickness that had taken hold of him. I have no idea, neither do you.

That's why I decided not to talk about him. I want to talk about, we've been here before. We're a civilization that is rebuilding the Coliseum and we put it into every pocket of our children's clothes. We keep it open for 24 hours, and we call the roar engagement. If you don't believe in evil, just call it an incentive structure

because the behavior is identical either way. That's rather the point. And believers, hear me, because we get this backward more often than not. Sometimes I think the temptation is to look at a suffering man and see a demon and look at a sick man and see a sinner. Devil doesn't need to possess anybody to win Tuesday night. He just needs 15 minutes in a crowd that just can't look away.

So let me give you three things and I'm done here. Don't watch it. Don't share it. Don't click on the repost that's captioned. You can't believe this. You can't shut down the amphitheater, but you can decline to be part of the roar. and that's the only vote that any of us get.

Second, if somebody tells you God showed up in their hospital room, that's not a symptom. Take them at their word. But keep watching them anyway. Conversion is not immunity. A real encounter with God does not exempt anyone from a body that has been through hell. And some of the most serious believers I've ever known have also needed doctors in bad ways. Those two sentences are not inclined to.

conflict. God is a healer. God is a scientist. We have all of the capability. We can heal through our hands to some degree by using his power, him channeling through us, but we also need doctors. We've spent centuries now pretending one of them cancels out the other. It doesn't. And the third thing is pray for him. Pray harder for the three kids who are under 14 who are now going to grow up in a where the worst night of their father's life is a file that somebody saved. Pray for all of those who are in positions and have future positions that they might not even know about that are under attack. And then put down the device and pick it up when you've decided you're going to call that person you've been meaning to call for three weeks. Because somebody was in that live stream

chat begging a stranger to stop. There's very likely somebody closer to you that is waiting for a much smaller thing. You know, I was praying for the Lord to inspire me the other day. I said, please, Lord, let me hear what people need to hear. And he always responds with something. It's never about politics or anything else.

It's always personal. and what I got that day and I shared it with the insider is, and I want to share it now because I feel prompted to do it, you're okay, you're okay, I don't know who this is for, maybe it's for you. You're okay. There is a way out. Your life isn't over, you haven't made too many bad mistakes, there is forgiveness.

You're not too far gone. There are those who you don't know who are rooting for you. and I know that God is one of them. Believe it. More in a minute. Real estate agents, I trust.com. You know, nobody ever says after they impulse by a house,

gosh, I'm really glad I rushed into that incredibly important decision. Yeah, houses have a way of rewarding patience and punishing impulse. The house that looks perfect during a 15-minute walkthrough may have a neighborhood that changes completely after dark. The short commute can turn into an hour the first time school starts to back up. And the little things that you barely even notice when you're excited about, the granite countertops are often the things that you'll notice every single day after you've moved in. That's why I started real estate agents I trust. I want to surround myself with agents who have learned to look past the excitement of the moment and help people see the decision they'll be living with 10 years from now. They know their markets.

That's just Tuesday. More Glenn Beck, straight ahead. In a minute, we're going to talk to Wade Miller. He is a Center for Renewing American Executive Director, and he has put a new report out on the Red Green Alliance, and it's hair-raising. Something the Democrats just do not want to talk about, and we need to. So we're going to do that next hour.

Also, the Senate just voted, the committee, just voted to hold Fauci in contempt. So now it does go to the DOJ. And remember Bannon and who's the other guy, Jason, that went to jail for lesser. than what Fauci just did. Navarro. Yeah, Navarro. Peter Navarro.

He both went to jail for like a year, for less for contempt of Congress. If the DOJ and Blant does not go and put him in jail, the entire DOJ needs to be fumigated. More in a minute. You know, there's a problem with the way most of us think about health. We assume that if something is wrong, we'll know it, or our doctor will catch it at the annual physical. but that's really not how it works.

Most health problems build slowly. You're a little more tired than you used to be. Your sleep isn't quite as good these days. Maybe you feel a little foggy, a little off. And every year you're told, good news, your blood work looks fine, until one day it doesn't. And by that point, you're not preventing a problem. You're managing one.

That's why I like what Jevity does. They look deeper at over 100 different labs, including hormones, inflation, metabolic health, nutrient levels, the kinds of things that actually help you understand what's happening in your body years before a diagnosis. A technician comes to your home, they draw your blood, and then a real care team walks you through the results so you actually understand what those numbers mean.

would come together and they would work together to destroy the Western world, capitalism, and America. I was mocked from here to hell and a lot of the mocking came from geniuses like Bill Crystal. A lot of the mocking came from the Republican Party.

They said those people will never work together. I didn't know enough about history and honestly I saw that as obvious. I also prayed about it an awful lot, and I knew that to be true. Well, now we're seeing it, and it's called the Red Green Alliance. And Wade Miller has just written a great report on the Red Green Alliance, and what it is, how it works, and why it must be stopped, and how we can stop it. Wade has been kind enough to come on the show.

He's going to join me in 60 seconds first. You know what debt does? It shrinks your options. Maybe you'd like to take the family on a vacation or put a little more away for retirement, maybe you'd just like to get to the end of the month without your paycheck already being spoken for. But the highest in the high interest rate credit cards, that debt sometimes make those decisions long before you ever get a chance to make them yourself. That's why it's worth having a conversation with American financing.

They have, they know you've built equity in your home and they can find out whether you can use that to pay off high interest credit card debt. And it makes sense for your situation without resetting the loan that you have if you have a great rate already on your loan of your house. Don't reset that. If you can take part of it and use it to refinance and you're paying 6% on that part to pay off your credit cards instead of 20 or 25%, it is so worth it.

There are two organizations that I think are the major thought leaders in Washington right now that have done more than any other group out there.

There's two of them. And I put one of those is the Center for Renewing America, and I would include Citizens for Renewing America, as well. The executive director for both of those who has been a long-time supporter and working at the side of Russ vote, who I love,

he's our OMB director. He is the executive director of both of those, the Center and the Citizens for Retuing America. He's just written an essay, if you will, or a white paper on the Red Green Alliance. I read it the other day, and I think it is so important that you hear it.

Because what I put on a chalkboard now is proven to be true by people who are much smarter than I am. And Wade is one of those people. Wade, welcome to the program. Glad to have you. Thanks for having me on. And a lot of your work over the years has bled into what went into that white paper. You did talk about this long before anyone else did. So thank you for that. You're welcome. You know, I'm just glad that it has a name now. The red for the communist, the green for the Islamist. And, you know, if I would have known history, especially of 1979, I would have had an answer

for that. And now we know that because of people like you. Tell me what this alliance is and why it is so dangerous, even for the people who are in it. So it's, you know, the paper goes into much more detail, of course,

but it's essentially a fusion of the Marxist left and the Islamist movement, you know, doctrinal Islam, as I would really define it. And so these two forces... Yes, and these two forces basically have every single barrier and every single goal shy of their in-state desire is virtually the same.

So there is a political convenience to them both aligning and working together because it requires the toppling of Western civilization, of capitalism, et cetera. Now, of course, at the end of this, what the Marxists never really quite figure out, out is that once they've achieved their goals, the Islamists kill them. They execute them. They get them out of the way. So it's not a durable alliance. It's a short-term means to an end. And I think that at the end of the day, the Islamists are playing the Marxists. And you see this manifesting itself in the form of Mamdani, who's kind of both. He's a Marxist and an Islamist. But you see people out there like Hassan Piker and other Islamists out there who are saying a lot of

things. And I think that fundamentally the mistake we made, and some of it's understandable at the turn of the century, which is weird to say, but at the turn of the century, the focus was on Islamic terrorism. And when the focus is on Islamic terrorism, that's three to five percent of the population. And so then, therefore, the other 95 percent becomes victims, and they become asylum seekers, they become refugees, they're displaced, they go sent to Europe, they get sent to the United States. And so now, in the last 20 years, almost incomprehensibly, we have a large population of Islamists. And the problem is, is that Islam is radicalized culturally. It does not align with classical liberalism. It's a conquering ideology. It seeks to displace our system and replace it with

Sharia and its own religious political ideology. And so, you know, that form of radicalism looks different if they're not a terrorist per se. So for instance, you know, if you believe that if you leave the religion of Islam, that you should be tried in a court, you know, you get due process, you get a lawyer, but you should be found guilty. And the sentence for that should be death. You don't belong in America. You never should have been allowed in America in the first place. And so we have this radicalized cultural Islamist movement that is in league with the Marxist left. And of course, now we're seeing all of these DSA candidates pop out of the woodwork for the left and they're winning elections for Democrat primaries.

And so we're seeing a surge of this entire movement. So yesterday, Congress or the Senate held a hearing on the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a nasty green organization, the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood and the DSA. not a single Democrat showed up for that hearing. That should tell you something, shouldn't it? Absolutely. And the unwillingness, frankly, even of our side in many respects, to admit that the problem is much bigger than 3 to 5 percent

or even acknowledge that there's a problem, even if it's just 3 to 5 percent, which is way more than that. The left won't even acknowledge the 3 to 5 and try to address that through public policy and national security means. They ignore it. They'll call you a bigot for highlighting. it. But the problem is that the radicalism is way more than that. And it could be 80% of the population that's just not suitable. But our side is politically unwilling to admit that. And I understand that,

you know, the average person is not yet quite willing to say that it could be 80% of the population that's radicalized that has been coming over in recent decades. But first, you have to admit you have a problem. And then you can start talking about the solutions. And the white paper we wrote was just admitting we have a problem. What comes after that is, is, you have a problem. What comes after that is, is we need to start working with our allies on Capitol Hill and state legislatures to figure out what is the policy solution to this? And the problem we're going to run into, Glenn, is that a lot of people on our side will say, well, the First Amendment and free speech. Well, the answer to a conquering ideology in our domestic space cannot be that we have no recourse and that we just have

to allow it to happen. I'm also not saying that we should violate the First Amendment or religious liberty. But I think that we have to figure out how do we treat Islam as a political ideology, unlike Sikhs, Judaism, Christianity, etc. To me, this is really easy. It is not simply a religion. If you want to practice your religion, that's fine. But if your religion teaches that the constitution must be replaced, now it is a political organization. You're now saying it's a system of governance. I'm sorry, but that's incompatible. I mean, you say in your brief, red-green alliance is an existential threat to the republic, united neo-Marxists and radical Islamists around the shared goal of destroying America's constitutional order, capitalism, and Western Christian

tradition. How can we continue to let people serve if that's their goal when they are standing there taking an oath to protect and defend the constitutional? of the United States if their goal is to overthrow the Constitution. I agree, and I've publicly said that I think that these DSA candidates who are specifically saying that we should refuse to seat them. That's fundamentally different than AOC, who we just disagree with and we think that she's wrong on virtually everything. But even AOC is careful not to say that we should overthrow the Constitution generally. I mean, if we dig deep, maybe we can find that. But these new candidates, they just proudly proclaim it all over the place. And I think

that Congress should just refuse to seat them if they do in fact end up winning their primaries. We have to draw a line in the sand somewhere. And I think that it is a relatively easy line to draw to say, if you're overtly arguing to destroy Western civilization in the Constitution, you cannot take a place on the floor and vote on legislation affecting Americans. So I found good news in El Cayed's victory because it was predicted to be just a white wildfire. He's going to just, and it wasn't. It was within, I think, 14,000 points in the end when they stopped counting. So I find some good news that maybe the Democrats are not all sold on this. And if you look at the numbers, it's all intellectuals and white rich people that voted for, I, L. Say, you know, along with the Muslims. the working class, they didn't vote for that.

So are you seeing signs of hope on this that maybe Democrats are going to wake up to this? Yeah, I mean, I think that if you're a left Hispanic family Christian, you see this, you're horrified. I think that if you are a left black family Christian, you're horrified by this. And I think that ultimately at the end of the day, those families are going to increasingly vote their interests. and they may not vote for Republicans, but I think they're going to choose rational, more rational and moderate Democrat voices. I mean, even James Carville is kind of an apoplectic

at what's happening to his party right now. And Elon's been saying this for years now that the Overton window is just moving so far to the left that what used to be a centrist is now considered a radical right. And I think that that's playing out in politics as we see it. But we can't rest on our laurels that their own radicalism will just self-destruct itself and that we can just wait.

I think that we have to proactively go out there and make the argument against it. Okay, so I want to talk to you about, I mean, you said, and we're not going to have time to go into it, let me just say, you say that there is a three-headed hydra, the enablers, which are the influencers in the media, the legitimizers, intellectuals and institutions, and the backers, the financial networks.

So you get into, in your paper, how we can dismantle or kill this three-headed hydra. I want to get into that in 60 seconds. More in just a moment. First, let me talk to you about Super Sure. Here's the thing about running your business. You're making 100 decisions every single day. Most of them you're never going to think about again.

And every now and then, there's one decision that doesn't seem so important right up until the day you need it. That's why I'm a fan of Super Sure. They don't just sell you a policy and then send you on your way. And then you look at it when it's time for renewal. They are helping you with your business, understanding your business, where your business is growing, so you make sure you have the right coverage at the right time. You're not overinsured or underinsured.

And they give you one dedicated contact that knows your company and you know them. So if you do need help, you're not starting from scratch with somebody who's never heard of you, you know, and they put you on hold for five hours. You can't prevent every problem, but you can make things easier. You know, make sure the things you're counting on are there when you need them. And right now you can go to super sure.com slash back and get a full report on your current policies with no obligation. Find out if you're overinsured, underinsured, or just somewhere in between. Go to supershure.com slashback, one superagency, one powerful platform, and all of your policies in one place.

He is the executive director for the center and citizens for renewing America. He has just put out a really good warning. if you will, a brief about the Red Green Alliance.

And I'm going to tweet it out so everybody can read it. Where else can you read it? Yeah, you can go to Americarenewing.com. That's Americarenewing.com. Okay. So in it, you talk about how we dismantle the three-headed hydra. And you say it's a whole-of-society approach. How do we do it?

It's going to have to be cultural. It's going to have to be public policy. it's going to have to be legal. And then this gets back to the kind of good old-fashioned Becky in research, which is you draw the dots and connect all of the figures and figure out the backers, the supporters, the influencers, the institutions that are behind it. But we're going to have to start going after the foreign money. You're going to have to start going after the domestic institutions that are enabling radical Islamist groups. You're going to have to start going after, you know, addressing this in colleges. This is where a lot of the radicalism starts.

Parents can make decisions there. Public policy can shape that. States can shape. curriculum at various levels. We just need to, one, recognize that there's a problem and then have elected officials who have the courage to take action and then Americans to stand up and be willing to defend our culture from this radical red-green alliance onslaught onto our very values and norms. You know, what has been so sad to me is, you know, there's a couple of groups that are going to be the, if they would be successful. The first would be killed. And that would be the Jews.

And the second is LGBTQ. And when I see the LGBTQ community marching for radical Islamists and, you know, things like Gaza and the Palestinian movement, you go to Palestine and you

are a trans man, you're dead. They're not going to embrace you. And they have been swept up into this. And I don't know what it is psychologically that happens to people. But this is using the people who many of them are honest in, you know, hey, let's live in love and everything else. And they are so blind that they are standing with people who will slit their throat or throw them off of the top of a building like they do in Iran or hang them for their lifestyle. Have you thought about this? How do we wake those people up? I think the leftists are looking at this through oppressor versus oppressed viewpoint.

And they think that if we can correct these historical injustices and show these oppressed groups that we're willing to do better and change, that they will be rational and thank us. And I think this is just part of the problem with woke ideology is that it's just not rational and logical. It doesn't comport with our understandings of human psychology and human sociology. And so it's just a huge amount of naivate. Of course, I don't think that educated

and intelligent, both, I think, need to be there. People are really are Marxists to begin with. So, you know, I think part of the problem is that in order for Marxism to be attractive to you, you just have to be missing something, either intelligence

or education, one of the two. and that bleeds into their naivete on the impulses of radical Islam and that it is doctrinally uh you know doctrinally their mission is to destroy them and recreate Islam in its place and the left just refuses to even acknowledge that that's the case it i mean there's so many parallels with nazi germany too i mean this has happened in iran but it also in a way happened with the nazis where they would bring people in and say no no no we're on on your side, we're on your side. And then they'd kill them when they didn't need them anymore. And it's so frustrating to see history repeat itself. But, you know, there were a lot of Jewish people in the 1930s that really kind of, some of them actually started almost in a way a pro-Nazi organization. It wasn't very big.

but they were like, look, we're Germans, they're Germans. If we're just show them that we're just like them, then we'll be accepted. And no, no, they were accepted for a very short period of time. And then 1933, Hitler's like, okay, we don't need you anymore. And part of the solution here, part of the solution is we're going to need to look at Israeli nationalism because Israel and to some degree Japan are really kind of the only two countries on the planet right now that have kind of figured out how to deal with Israel.

at the public policy level. So regardless of whether you like Israel or not, you should be looking to them to learn how they're dealing with this problem. Because even if you take the most wildly ridiculous anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, it comes nowhere close in terms of scope and danger to us as Americans as Islam just as it exists naturally. And so I think we need to wake up and figure out who the real enemies of this country are and figure out who our allies are and work with them to solve the problem. the problem. So what can

a listener in my audience do to help? What would be the most effective thing the individual can do? I think read the primer so you fully understand it. For those who already do, and a lot of your listeners will be familiar with this, I think we have to start thinking at the public policy level, the state level, the municipal level, how do we

actually start solving this? How do we solve the call to prayer problem? How do we solve the creeping Sharia and Marxist ideology that is trying to be implemented and start coming up with public policy solutions and then insist there are elected officials take it seriously and start moving forward. Otherwise, in action, in 15 years, we're going to look like Europe.

We're going to have a rising Islamic population that is increasingly radicalized, and the entire fabric of our culture is going to start to unwind. We're seeing it happen in Europe right now. We have to wake up. There may be 10 or 15 years ahead of where we are if we don't start taking action now and get over the politically correct arguments that we'll run into from kind of the centrist Republicans. We have to admit that Islam is doctrinally a civilizational level problem, and it has to be addressed. Wade, thank you. Please say how to Russ.

Everybody on my staff, such a fan of everything you guys are doing. Anything you need, you please reach out to us. We're big, big fans. Wade Miller, thank you. God bless. Thank you. You can check it out at america renewing.com. America renewing.com. I'll also tweet the report out so you can read it.

pull back the covers, you slide into a bed that feels like it was made to welcome you home. The sheets are cool against your skin. The pillow is just right. You take one deep breath, and the day finally just falls off your shoulders and you think. Ah, this is nice.

I really want to save some time so at the end of the hour, Jason can take us through some of the information that we have coming out from the election on who voted for El Sayyad. When you look at it, it's kind of critical information. We'll get to that here in just a few minutes. Also, on a personal note, I'm going to be taking the next two weeks off. I'm leaving in just about an hour or so. And I won't be chronicling this in real time because we'll be in some places that I just don't need people to know that I'm there while we're there. And I'm taking my family.

I'm concerned about, I'm not concerned about my kids. I want to strengthen my kids because. I hear from them all the time what they hear from their friends and they're hearing stuff about socialism and America and everything that is just so wrong. And I just want to do everything I can to strengthen them. And so I'm taking two weeks off, which I almost never do, but I'm taking two weeks off because I want to spend it with my kids. and I'll share what I've learned from them and maybe I can help you with your kids, you know, when I get back after I've learned

and hopefully they've learned a few things. But pray for the family. Well, if you'd pray for the safety of my family, I'd appreciate it. We're traveling with a whole bunch of security, but I, you know, you just never know. Just pray for the guidance of the spirit the whole time and pray for my children as well.

I want to bring in Clay Travis. He is part of the Clay and Buck Show that follows this program on the Premier Radio Networks. And I want to bring him in because to me this is kind of like Friday. I'm leaving tomorrow. I won't be here tomorrow. And I think he had the idea of the week, maybe the month, maybe the year. And everybody's been talking about boys and women sports and the WNBA. And he's just come up with the Nashville balls.

And he said, I wanted an all trans team. So it's only men who are women now because he said, we'll win every championship. And then maybe I'll prove, maybe we'll prove the point. But we'll prove the point. We'll make a lot of money doing it. You know, I just love it. Clay is with us now. Clay, how are you?

I'm doing great. I hope that you and your family have a, have a good trip. But I would love at some point, if we can get you court. seats to see the Nashville balls, the most inclusive team in the history. I would be glad to sit on the court side for that. I would be very happy to do that. Yeah, look, I'm calling the bluff here. If you're wondering if you're out there and you haven't heard some of the news, since Sophie Cunningham, player for the Indiana fever, came out and said men should not be able to play in women's sports, which is not a particularly radical proposition.

There has been a lot of talk. And many different WNBA coaches, Glenn, actually came out and they said, what we think men should be able to identify as women and play in this league. And as a staunch supporter of inclusion, diversity, equity as well, I said, well, what is the best thing that I could do to follow the logic of this? To me, it is to have an all-trans team, Nashville Balls, expansion. franchise in the WNBA. We will be the first all-male identifying as women team.

We are very pro-trans, incredibly inclusive. Our slogan, you'll like this, Glenn, is one love, one love, two balls, and are very understated, as you were showing it a little bit earlier on video, but people haven't seen it. logo is a basketball hoop with two different balls going through the net. And look, I just think it would be the greatest dynasty of all time. Move over John Wooden's UCLA Bruins. Move over Bill Russell, Michael Jordan. We've got something for you.

We would be not only, I think, the greatest professional sports franchise of all time, I don't think we would lose a game. Some games we might win without giving up a basket, which is unheard of basketball. Wasn't there like a kids team that played against the WNBA or a female team? What was that story? Yeah, the story is the U.S. women's soccer team, which won the World Cup, the best soccer team in the world. They lost five to two, Glenn, to a team of under 15-year-old boys in Dallas, Texas. not the best 15-year-old boys in the country.

And remember, under 15 means a lot of those kids are 14. They lost 5-2 to the best soccer players in Texas. And so all of this kind of comes together. And look, I just think sometimes you have to, and this is my natural state here, Glenn, is sometimes you have to follow absurdity with more absurdity and actually call these people on the logic that underpins what they would suggest.

And so if you're going to argue that a man can identify as a woman and play in the WNBA, which is the Women's National Basketball Association, then I think we should just have a whole team of trans guys. By the way, this is happening in France. It's happening in France. I'm going to tell you, if they would take you up on this, I know you're making a point, but you're also probably very serious as well. You put $10 million up.

I would join you in this venture if they would do it, because they would win every time. They would win every single game. Yes. And the games wouldn't be remotely close. And look, ultimately what, why will they, why will they not just say, hey, the WMBA is only for women, right? To their credit, the WTA has finally said it, the Women Tennis Association. They have said it in the, they've set it in the Olympics.

They've set it in the NCAA, thanks to President Trump. It's because they are committed so much to the left-wing idea that the trans agenda can create women out of men that they are not willing to say a basic biological truth. And if you're not willing to do that, then I think the natural results should follow, which is men who identify as women should be able to compete in the women's professional sports league. And I think, Glenn, they would obliterate all of the, all of the women in this sport. I don't think it would be remotely close. I think you could go all the way down, by the way. As soon as you get testosterone, as you well know, as everybody out there who's ever raised a boy knows, it changes the game substantially.

Heck, if you've ever coached, if you've got a kid in 13-you that already has a mustache, I mean, he's going to be a lot better than most of the other 13-year-olds. And so I think you can get an 8-grade boys team that would be. beat the best WNBA team, a team at WNBA All-Stars. I don't even think some of those games would be remotely close. So can I ask you, I've not been able to figure out why Caitlin Clark is not supporting Sophie Cunningham. Why is that not been a dynamic duo here? So I'll defend Caitlin Clark in this way, Glenn.

You and I and most of your listeners out there, we grew up and watched and loved sports in the 80s and the 90s, what I would call the Jordan era of basketball. Jordan's most famous quote in my mind, I wrote a book with this title, is Republicans Buy Sneakers, too. And I think Michael Jordan's perspective, and it was followed by Tiger Woods and Golf, and it was followed by Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, a lot of other big-time athletes was, I'm not going to get involved in politics. I want everybody, Republicans, Democrats, independents, to be able to be fans of my brand, Republicans by Sneakers, too. I think Caitlin Clark is rejecting, in many ways, the LeBron era, which is you need to know everything that I think about politics, which has, I think, made him incredibly polarizing.

And instead, she's trying to go back to the Jordan Tiger Woods era of appealing to everyone. And Glenn, the example of this I would give is she was asked who she was going to vote for in the 2024 presidential election, Kamala or Trump. And she said she didn't want to answer. She didn't think it was her business to tell people what her politics were. And so I think what has actually happened here is the WNBA has put a lot of coaches and players in tough spots who may well agree with us on the absurdity of this premise. All they have to do, and she said this basically in her answer is that's a question for the league. And the league, the commissioner, should if they had any backbone at all, come out and just say, hey, this is a league for women. If you are born male, you can pursue life to the furthest of your happiness as you design.

higher, you cannot become a women's basketball player. They haven't said it. They won't say it, I think, because the league itself is committed to identity politics. But I do think that that is, that is the reason why she has avoided joining Sophie Cunningham on her side. That makes total sense. Total sense. I just feel like, you know, Caitlin's been, you know, just pounded in the head for so long. And, and you would think when you'd see somebody else being pounded in the head, it would just be your instinct to go say, hey, knock it off. I don't have to agree, but knock it off, this isn't right. Yeah, I agree. And the argument you can also make is that this goes to the very essence of sport itself. And look, I don't know how many far left wingers,

to be fair, are Caitlin Clark fans, right? Maybe there are some. I think her base, if I were sitting down and talking with her, I would say, look, your base is Trump America, whether you like it or not. And also a lot of other sane people, because remember, Glenn, this is an 80-20 issue nationwide. I actually think it's a 95-5 issue for sports fans. I think the 5% who are Looney Bend members get a lot of attention. But I think for men, like, nobody makes this argument, right? There isn't a dad in America listening to you right now who thinks that a grown man should be able to compete against his daughter or his granddaughter, right? Like that's just lunacy.

And so I think that's Caitlin Clark's base. Are there some left-winger who are also Caitlin Clark fans? Maybe. But I actually don't, if I were advising her, I understand the perspective of I'm just going to avoid all politics because if you answer this, next thing, you know, people are asking you what you think about every issue. But I think her base is actually would overwhelmingly support her if she said, yeah, this is only for women.

one more thing because I know you've got to go get ready for the show because you're on here right after my show and premiere. But what do you think of the coaches that are now saying that, you know, men are going to start coming and taking their jobs and men shouldn't be coaches for the WAABA. And yet. While simultaneous. Yeah. Well, simultaneously.

I mean, that's insanity. Yes. Well, I mean, I think what it goes to is you ultimately paint yourself into a corner if you follow full left-wing ideals, right? Because, I mean, you can take it outside of this gender ridiculousness. You know, if I said to you right now, Glenn, I have an important announcement to make, I am now a black woman. On the left, they would have to say, welcome to womanhood, Clay Travis.

We are excited to have you. Your beard makes you look even more feminine than we thought you ever might. they would then say that I am a racist culturally appropriating for saying that I'm black. So I think for, I mean, again, this is what their logic is, right? So I think for most people out there, if you said, what is more defining of you, your gender or your race, people find out their different race than they thought they were all the time with the DNA testing going on right now. Nobody ever finds out. Like, I think I have a lot, personally, I bet you would sign on with this too.

I think men, you know, I have a lot more in common with black, Asian, and Hispanic men, I think, than I do with white women, because gender to me is more of a definite defining characteristics than races, right? Doesn't mean you can't have a lot in common with a lot of different people of all different backgrounds. But if you were going to say, which is a bigger deal to change your gender or your race, I think most people would have to say your gender, right? I mean, that's far more transformative than your race. Yet in the left, if you change. change your race, you're racist, and you're assimilating and you have to be canceled. But if you change your gender, you're a hero, and it must be immediately affirmed. Yeah. Is everybody hearing his white privilege there? Yeah, I think I heard it. I think I heard it. Clay, it's good to talk to you, my man. Thank you so much. Hey, appreciate you. Good word, Glenn. Have a good trip with your family and

stay safe. God bless. Say it had a buck for me. Clay Travis, outkick founder, and also co-host of the Clay and Buck Show that is on the premier radio network immediately. following this one. By the way, if you did not hear the show yesterday, the after show, it is now on demand. It is something that I believe, I'm not doing it on the regular show. I'm going to do it in bits and pieces because it is something that requires a little bit of thinking. It requires real deep thought and explanation on it, but it's what happens when the past disappears. And I show you that this has been done before in history. And it is stunning. It is stunning what was said in 600 that's being said today.

Welcome back to the Glenn Beck program. Glenn is high tailing it as we speak. He headed out on his vacation. Pat and Jeffey will be back tomorrow. I wanted to take this a little bit of time, though, to talk about, there's either a vote happening today or tomorrow, but the Senate right now is scheduled to go on recess on Monday. I think it's the 10th through September 11th

is when they're supposed to go on recess. And I was looking at a post from Mike Lee yesterday. Everyone's asking what's happening with the Save Act. There's multiple different measures that have gone through the House that have gotten to the Senate, and they're all, you know, they're doing what they normally do. But Mike Lee yesterday said that things are moving in a favorable direction. He said they're actually doing stuff now.

They're actually talking. And possibly there's a coalition now of senators that are looking at not going on vacation, even though so many of them, it looks like that's all they're worried about. It's going on vacation. Call your senators. Get on the line with as many as you can. Get them to do their job.
