The Glenn Beck Program - How Donald Trump Can Beat Biden at CNN's Presidential Debate | 6/26/24

Episode Date: June 26, 2024

The surgeon general has officially declared firearm violence to be a public health crisis. Glenn looks at the other "public health emergencies" that have been claimed, along with the Democrat-run stat...es that have approved doctor-assisted suicide, and ties these two stories together to form a terrifying reality. Pat Gray joins Glenn and Stu to discuss the potential VP pick and the qualities Trump should seek out. Did the Supreme Court allow the Biden administration to continue to collude with social media companies to censor Americans? Glenn shares what he thinks Trump should say in the upcoming debate. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has struck a deal that guaranteed his release, but what was part of the secret plea deal? And why did the DNC email leaks disappear from the WikiLeaks website? Glenn and Stu discuss the possible connection and the history of WikiLeaks. Stu rants on the Biden administration's expensive failure to build a pier in Gaza.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Did you see what Sweden is doing, Stu, with the storage of food? Did not. Yeah, they decided that they were going to start for the next, I think five years, start storing grain. because they think that there's a real problem
Starting point is 00:00:31 and the Swedish people will need grain to be able to survive. So that's good. While our government isn't doing that or encouraging you, I am encouraging you do the same thing. My Patriot supply has helped millions of people. They are now the largest and the best

Well, hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We have a lot to talk about. We're going to start with the surge in general issuing a new warning about the public health. It is time we look at not only climate change,
Starting point is 00:02:18 but also we look at gun control as public health. Public health, when the government says it's a public health concern, what they mean is it's a lack of control of the public. And they're going to institute some things that will control the public. That's what public health means when it's coming from these people. We'll talk about that coming up in just a second. First, Bill wrote in with an interesting story about his experience with Relief Factory. He says for quite a while now, Bill used a walker or a cane.
Starting point is 00:02:55 He said he used it everywhere he went because he had such pain in his knees. He could barely walk. The good news is, call it good news, he had a knee replacement surgery all scheduled and he was ready to go in. But then one day, after almost three weeks of trying something called Relief Factor, Bill walked into the surgeon's office without a walker, without a cane. By the end of the consultation, the surgeon agreed, okay, we're going to cancel the operation. I'll be here if you need me.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Call me if you need me. So far, he hasn't needed the surgeon. Bill got his life back with Relief Factor. If you're living with aches and pain, see how Relief Factor, a daily drug-free supplement might help you feel and live better. Join the over a million people who've turned to Relief Factor, just like Bill. I want you to do me a favor and go to relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com.
Starting point is 00:03:49 800 for relief. 1-800-4 relief. You'll save on your first order, 8004 relief, relief factor.com. All right, we're going to talk about the coming debate, which happens tomorrow. I'm going to give my quick little dissertation on what I think Donald Trump should do to win tomorrow. all night and to change the game even more than he already has. That's coming up in about an hour. We're going to talk about the WikiLeaks deal. We have a theory. We have a theory. Let's see if it plays through.
Starting point is 00:04:26 We have our staff looking into things. They've been looking into it yesterday and all day and all night. And now they're just trying to button up a few things. So far I can only present it as a theory. Maybe in an hour we'll be able to show you some facts on that. but we'll we'll get that to you here in just a minute also we're going to talk about the elections that happened yesterday and let's start with the surgeon general surgeon general has come out and declared climate change a public health emergency
Starting point is 00:05:04 he has also claimed that racism is a public health emergency now when you have a public health emergency, you know, i.e. COVID, the government can claim all kinds of powers. If it's a public health emergency, they're using this language very, very carefully. Now, here's what he said yesterday. Cut four, Surgeon General announces firearm violence being a public health emergency. Today, for the first time in the history of our office, I am issuing a Surgeon General's advisory on firearm violence. It outlines the urgent threat firearm violence poses to the health and well-being of our country. As a doctor, I've seen the consequences of firearm violence up close in the lives of the patients I've cared for over the years. These are moms and dads,
Starting point is 00:06:01 sons and daughters, all of whom were robbed of their physical and mental health by senseless acts of violence. Unfortunately, the problem has continued to grow. The Surgeon General's advisory lays out the approach we can take to address firearm violence as the public health crisis that it is. This includes implementing community violence prevention programs and firearm risk reduction strategies, improving access to mental health care for those exposed to or at risk for firearm violence, and expanding research funding to inform and evaluate our prevention strategies. Hang on just a second. Firearm violence.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Hold on. Did he just say that it would expand mental health access for those who have created gun violence or who had participated in it or had access to guns? It's interesting. Anyway, so there's Dr. Murthy coming on and he says, I just want people to walk, you know, through. their neighborhoods and feel safe. Yeah, so do I. So do I. What's changed? That's changed. Why has it gotten so dangerous to walk through our neighborhoods? There's some other things that are going on that I would call a crisis, but he doesn't want to talk about that. He wants to talk about the evil gun and those who want guns. And it's a public health crisis. Now, let me give you another story before I get into the
Starting point is 00:07:33 main point here. Delaware. The state legislators yesterday sent doctor-assisted suicide bill to the governor to sign. This would be the 11th state to approve a doctor-assisted suicide. Okay. Let's look at those 11 states. What 11 states has doctor-assisted suicide? California, Colorado, Oregon, Vermont, New Mexico, Maine, New Jersey, Hawaii, Washington, and Washington, D.C. Stu, I'm noticing a pattern here, and I don't know exactly what it is. What do those 11 states have in common? Great vacation locations? No, no, no, no, I wouldn't put New Jersey in the same category as Hawaii.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Really? Yeah, yeah. They're all the most progressive states we have. in the union okay so they're the same ones that are fighting for the death of babies they are the same ones that are now going to the opposite end and saying also the death of old people or anybody sick that wants to die okay all right now let me tie these two stories together may i have you ever heard anyone tell the american people that this is science
Starting point is 00:09:00 and those that don't understand it are going to be swept aside in the in history as those being on the wrong side of history have you heard anyone saying well to you know kids you know you understand things
Starting point is 00:09:19 that your parents don't understand because well they don't get it it's a new generation right have you ever heard anyone saying, if you don't, if you don't join us, you're against us, right? Okay. Let me read something to the doctors in medical profession from Dr. Wagner.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Colleagues, sweep aside all those who do not wish to understand the sign of the times. Over the course of these weeks, it has been with emotion and gratitude that we have observed the German national awareness of itself and the value of its blood. In every hamlet, every walk of life, in all the professions, we are witnessing the awakening of the people and rejection of mistakes coming from liberal and foreign elements. When they say liberal, by the way, they mean classical liberalism. They mean that you as an individual matter, not the kind of liberalism that's now being preached. Liberalism meaning you have an inherent right to choose for yourself. Let's see. He says a few professions participate in the grandeur and the future of this nation as much as the medical profession does.
Starting point is 00:10:52 And none is so rife with the Jews nor hopelessly invaded. by foreign thinking. Now, you could say, well, I mean, in today's world, we're almost there saying the Jews here in America, but you could also say instead of foreign thinking, MAGA. People who believe in the Constitution, believe that we are a republic. The PhDs that are Jewish hold the leading chairs of medicine in universities. They are sterilizing the medical art and impregnating generations of young doctors with a mechanist way of thinking. Okay. They've already taken care of this in the universities.
Starting point is 00:11:42 And anybody who is a conservative is talked about like that. They just, they don't get it. They're living in the past. They hate people. They hate children. They are a threat to our democracy, right? Jewish colleagues sit at the places of honor in doctor societies and associations. Now, again, this one, they've already taken care of here in America.
Starting point is 00:12:07 There's no one who is a conservative that has been honored and is sitting in high places in any of these organizations. They're making a trumpery of the honor of the medical profession as they are systematically annihilating our code of ethics. do we have two ethics, two set of ethics in this country? I think we do. I think we have the progressive code of ethics and then the traditional American code of ethics. Let's see. We are indebted to them for ever-growing mercantilism, meaning capitalism, unworthy of our profession.
Starting point is 00:12:53 So capitalism shouldn't play any role. because of it we shall be impoverished. Our credit with the people will collapse. So because of capitalism, the people will be impoverished. You can't have that. You need a socialized system. Have we heard that from anyone? German doctors, this we know.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Those responsible for the situation are foreigners. They alone have led us this way. They have been opposed to any German. thinking in our organizations. So could that be said by people who are MAGA or people who are constitutionalist or people who are classical liberals? Yeah, yeah. We've been opposed to any of this new think in all organizations. But we have welcomed every Marxist proposal and but they have welcomed every Marxist proposal and every Jewish member or measure that came along. We have not. We have not they have, that the medical profession should constitute a Judeo-Masonic enclave at the heart of
Starting point is 00:14:09 Germany cannot be allowed to happen. Honor and sense the duty that obliges us to put an end to this scandal. It is for this reason we are appealing to the entire German medical profession. Clean up the administration of our organizations. Sweep aside all those who do not wish. to understand the new way of thinking. Does that sound familiar? For we wish to work together towards the reestablishment of a new medical profession for the welfare of the people and the honor of the German doctor. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:49 So they, the medical associations listen to this. And then they begin to, um, they again, begin to socialize the medicine and that's when they get into euthanasia. And it's a public welfare project. That's what this is. It is for the good of the German people and those who are suffering. Okay. They're just unproductive people and they're suffering and we should help them meet the Lord.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Now, they go on, they start liquidating people. People become suspicious. What does the government do? The government comes out and says, we're not doing any of that. That's not true. Does that sound familiar? How many times have we heard we're not doing that? That's not true.
Starting point is 00:15:58 That's a conspiracy theory. And even Hitler himself comes out and says, this is an affront to the German ethics. We are not killing children in behind the scenes. That's exactly what they're doing. Then they start a new campaign and they start to go after the universities and culture and they start producing movies and films that are showing how insensitive it is for you to judge people that want to die. And there was a new movie that was released by gerbils from propaganda called I Acuse. And this was about a doctor whose wife was dying and he gave her, you know, life-ending medicine out of compassion.
Starting point is 00:16:55 And he was prosecuted for it. persecuted is the way it is made to believe in the movie and he says you accuse me of this I accuse you of having no heart euthanasia becomes popular and there's new passports for death and then they develop public private partnerships for death for instance the charitable organizations that would take old people and children out of the hospitals and kill them. It was the community labor service. It was the nonprofit association for financial questions. It was the patient's transportation corporation that did all of these things. Not the government.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Oh, surely, not the government. They created a system where the scariest were not the black-coated SS officers. The scariest were the ones wearing the white coats. It was the doctors and nurses that first laid all of the foundations for what the Nazis are best known for. I warn you, you cannot make medicine political. You cannot take political matters and bring them in to the system of medicine. But that's exactly what we're doing. And may I ask, do you think you or your family can afford in every way that that is meant or conjures?
Starting point is 00:18:40 Can you and your family afford another four years of this? All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor this F hour. It is pre-born. Since the overturning of Roe versus Wade a couple of years ago, we've passed the $65 million mark on abortions and thousands more babies are killed every day. It's a staggering number. God only knows what those children would have gone on to do with their lives if they had gotten to live them. Preborn is the largest pro-life organization in the country. Pro-life, I believe,
Starting point is 00:19:16 as I just shared with you, is possibly the most important thing you can stand for right now. You take this block away and everything else collapses. Every day, pre-born sponsors free ultrasounds for women as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born. When a mom sees her unborn child on that monitor, she hears that heartbeat. She's twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby. I know because I was one of them that actually was in this situation. A 14-year-old girl in Texas was pregnant. She didn't know what to do.
Starting point is 00:19:56 She actually decided to save the baby, but she couldn't keep it. We now have Rafe, our son. We were there in the delivery room because of that brave, brave mother. There are other options. Please, if you can make a donation of $28 that will buy an ultrasound, the government is not working on saving babies. And a donation of $1,000, $2,000, $20,000, all gifts are tax deductible. and will reach eternity.
Starting point is 00:20:27 Get involved today. Donate, take a stand, dial pound 250, say the keyword baby. That's pound 250, keyword baby, or visit preborn.com slash Beck, sponsored by preborn. Ten seconds, station ID. So election season is here. However, this time around, things are a little bit different.

We say hello and welcome to Mr. Pat Gray. Hello. Pat, what's on your mind today? Well, the Trump VP candidate is one of the things that's on my mind.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Supposedly, he's already decided. Then he's narrowed it to three. I'll get a lecture. I'll get a lecture. You've got to get a lecture from Stu. From Stu. Really? He's going to flip.
Starting point is 00:24:58 upon you. This is fake. It's all fake. It's all fake. And Donald Trump will tell you who he's picked when he wants to tell you who he's picked. No, I want to guess on it today. This is a game show. It's reportedly coming today. It might be at the convention. Might be after the election. I don't know. Maybe it's going to be last week he told us every day. There's a new freaking report. That it's like, it's down to four. Because he's an entertainer. Right. Yes. Why are, why are we falling for this? Donald Trump can, controls this information, he will let you know when he's ready. That is, that's the entire show. Hang on just a second. Hang on. This is like being angry at the end of the apprentice. I mean, why are we watching this? He's already made his decision. We already know who he's going to pick, right? Right. Why do they keep the music going? This is good. This is what Donald Trump does really well. He keeps people engaged. I don't think this is a problem. It's a problem for us. It's a problem. Looking at the news and going, well, that's probably true. Yeah. It's probably.
Starting point is 00:25:58 for the media, and I believe, my belief is, this is just him screwing with the media constantly. He's, he has different people in his administration leaking different things. They all back up each other's sources. Yeah, no, I did hear him say that. And they're just telling the meat just to screw with them over and over and over again. And then every day, we should know better. Like, we should know better to actually listen to it, even though it's fun to speculate on. he also speculates as trial balloons. He also likes to see. If you've ever seen him speak, I've watched him from behind the stage.
Starting point is 00:26:36 So I've seen him and I just, he is so brilliant. I watch him and he'll throw things out and he'll gauge the reaction. And I'll look at him watching the audience. And people think that he's, you know, just standing there like Caesar, yes, say, my minions. He's measuring their response. That's what Donald Trump does and entertains. So I think it's a combination of those two. So who do you think it's going to be? He's already made a decision. Did you know that? He made his decision. The next day it was down to three and then today it's down to four. And then the rumor was yesterday that it's Vivek Ravaswami again. Right. Who he's
Starting point is 00:27:20 already publicly ruled out. No. He's already said it's not him. Right. But now it might be him. do we know it's so insane i know i just hope it is somebody that could be the president of the united states next election yeah for sure i just hope he is you know and we talked about this yesterday jd vance would be a really good uh torchbearer to make donald trump's legacy not just the two two terms but the be able to make it more than the man so ragan is a became a movement where Donald Trump is a movement. However, nobody's really been able to do it except for Donald Trump. And it would be nice to have somebody as the VP who can make this a movement.
Starting point is 00:28:10 So Donald Trump is known for more than just being, you know, a two-term president that was very good. He'll be known as a movement. That's a really interesting point you bring up there because, Reaganism was a movement because of its overwhelming success, right? It was so good. Yes. And it had a really, really strong intellectual backbone, right? There was think tanks and magazines and all the intellectuals who had the support beneath that.
Starting point is 00:28:43 That's not exactly the profile of Trumpism, right? And I think one of the... Well, now. Right, now. That's what I'm saying, though. Right. the weakness and maybe something that hurt Reaganism as a long-term movement was his VP was not a Reaganite. So when after the two massive successful terms, his VP takes over and like, we might just raise taxes now.
Starting point is 00:29:08 And undid a lot of the things because he wasn't a believer in that philosophy. I don't know. I think there's a lesson there for Trump. Like I would want someone who believes intellectually and can carry that torch this next election. Yes. And I think we have a chance of winning 12 years. I mean, you know, Republicans always screw it up. But if Donald Trump picks the right person to be at his side and passes the torch to that person at the end of his term and that person believes in the things like small government, et cetera, et cetera, we could win 12 years. And that would change everything. Remember, the reason why we set this course, back in the 1930s. Wilson started it, but then they had 12 solid years of FDR. And it was those 12 years that locked everything down. That's why it should be Ron DeSantis. It's not going to be, but it should be him. Set him up for 2028. Yeah, I agree. Would have been great. He now he says he doesn't
Starting point is 00:30:11 want it. Yeah. I mean, why would you not, though? Seriously. How could you not draft him? Because you're the guy for sure in 28. It's the same reason you don't want the job as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. It's like you go to the Lakers and you win, it's LeBron's accomplishment, not yours. If you go there and you lose, it's your fault. And it's the same thing here. Like, this is Trump's thing. And I think DeSantis sees himself, while aligned with Trump on a lot of things,
Starting point is 00:30:39 as a different person, different movement. Like, he's his own guy and he thinks he's got a big future and why would I go in there? This is going to be Trump's thing, not mine. He ran this year, though. So certainly he's going to run in 28. He is going to run in 28. And he's, that sets you up. Well, Cruz didn't run though.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Like Cruz didn't come back. A lot of those guys from 2016 didn't come back. I mean, he will. He probably will. I, I, I, yeah, he will. And I think that he needs the credibility of being outside of the Republican establishment. You know, I think this race hurt him on that. I think he, you know, had a little bit.
Starting point is 00:31:20 bit of the Nikki Haley kind of feel. Not him personally, but the feeling that I heard from so many people is he's surrounding himself by so many really bad people. They're all the GOPers. He's going to change. He's going to change. He needs to cement that he's not going to change. He is not part of the old GOP. And if Donald Trump does his job, he will have destroyed the old GOP. destroyed it. And I don't think there could be anything better than destroying those old dinosaurs that think we're living in 1951. Does we're not? I don't know if you know that. What would be the decisions you'd make if you're Trump to make this decision? Obviously, you want someone who could be president if they needed to be. And as we just talked about, you'd want maybe a person who's going
Starting point is 00:32:08 to be available to win in 2028. But what else? What other decisions were you make? One thing I think is interesting about Vance. And let me throw this out at you. They talk about the vice president all the time of like hitting a certain constituency, right? And everyone's like, well, Vance doesn't do that. Like he's not, doesn't have Marco Rubio, maybe Hispanic vote or, you know, all these little calculations. You don't need it. And I don't think you need it. First of all, I think at the end of the day, Trump should make this based on his, on his legacy and what he wants later because honestly, it's probably not going to make a difference as to whether he wins or loses. But one quick thing on Vance, Vance is from Ohio, which used to be the swing state,
Starting point is 00:32:50 right? Like, I mean, in 2004, it was the swing state. Here, we don't think of it as a swing state anymore. It's a red state. However, the three most important states in this election are all connected. Are all right there in that region in which J.D. Vance wrote a book talking about all the problems of this region. he knows those voters really well. And I'm talking about Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania. He knows them really, really well. He can connect with those voters, probably as good as anybody. And like, if Trump wins Georgia, if he wins Nevada, if he wins Arizona, and doesn't
Starting point is 00:33:33 win those three states, he still loses. He has to pick off one of those three. And I don't know, Vance makes some sense from that perspective. Yeah, I think J.D. said jd vance makes the most sense out of all of them although jd has told me that he hasn't talked to trump about it at all so yeah but maybe that's just like that's just like donald trump has already made his decision and he also has 14 i know i know none of that stuff makes any difference do you agree with that is that a is that a sensible a sensible direction i mean like marco rubio i still come back to
Starting point is 00:34:04 he's not fundamentally trumpian right like it's not who he is and also trump don't trump would have to move. And I just don't believe Donald Trump is going to move for his vice president. He wouldn't really have to move though. He just changes his... Yeah. Yeah. He wouldn't actually have to physically get in a movie truck and get a U-Haul and unload Mar-a-Lulled. That's not... Do you think he's going to... You think he'd use
Starting point is 00:34:25 a U-Haul truck? Yeah, I think so. I see him as more of a... More of somebody who just, you know, hires... Beacons. Yeah, Mayflower Beacons. Yeah. He may box it all up himself, but... I'm sure he would. I don't know if he'd drive the truck. It would be a really funny way to unveil the real.
Starting point is 00:34:42 reality show. Like he's, I'm going to make it at Mar-a-Lago, and then you just pull up and there's just moving trucks out in front. And he's just taking some mispossessions up to whatever house is closest by. It would be hilarious. So funny. Yeah, it would be.
Starting point is 00:34:56 So, Pat, who do you think? Who should it be? Well, it should be DeSantis. It's not going to be. But I, out of the reported possibilities, what do you think? Kind of leaning toward Rubio. I mean, it's not a crazy choice. Rubio 10 years ago.
Starting point is 00:35:14 We loved him 10 years ago when he sat down with him. And he's been on the show recently. He's right on a lot of things. I don't see him as a line, particularly on things like Ukraine with Trump. I mean, they're pretty far away. It seems like on that stuff. But again, the vice president very likely in a Trump administration will have basically no input. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Like it's Trump's administration. This is a secondary role. It's going to be chosen for other reasons. But wait, that's why you get somebody who is on the same page with you. Yeah. I mean, he's going to be fighting so many forest fires that he has got to have a vice president that can drop in and go, Mr. President, I'll take that right there.
Starting point is 00:35:59 What is the plan? What do you want me to accomplish? I got it. And then go do those things while he's concentrating on other things. He needs a strong vice president. and the country needs a strong vice president because that vice president is going to be the one that will be running against. I don't know, maybe Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Party in four years from now. I mean, why not?
Starting point is 00:36:26 She's not that old yet. She's only in her 70s. She had a great op-ed yesterday in the New York Times about she's apparently the only person who's ever debated both of these guys, Trump and Biden. Oh. And so she wrote this horrible op-ed about it. Maybe we can go through it later. But I just want to get Pat on the record. Are you denying Burgamentum?
Starting point is 00:36:44 Yes. Yes. Straight out denial? What about Burgamania? No. No. I need to get you on the right. Both.
Starting point is 00:36:52 I want to get you on the record. Are you saying, because this is all the rage now, that Hillary Clinton is going to be the nominee to step in at the very last minute. No. Nobody's stepping in. They hate, first of all, it's going to be Biden. Nobody's stepping in. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:07 No one's stepping in. Okay. But also, the Democrats don't even like Hillary Clinton. They can't stand her for losing to Trump. I'm guessing that that came from Hillary Clinton. She's like, you know, I've heard that I'm going to be the one. All right. Back in just a minute.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Thank you, Pat Gray from Pack Ray Unleashed. You can hear the podcast every day on Blaze TV live before this program, but also wherever you get your podcast.

It's three hours long but worth every minute the first ten minutes of this movie you will say I what the hell is going on? I don't even understand I was so confused by the first ten minutes
Starting point is 00:41:50 Because they're setting up the largest saga I have ever seen a movie try to do outside of Star Wars okay or the the Lord of the Rings, you know, where they're always introducing new characters and you're like, wait, who are these people? And the first 10 minutes, you're meeting all of these different people and you don't know what it just kind of drops into a story. And it is the American story. And I, after watching this, a couple of things came to mind. Kevin Costner is possibly the only person alive today that can do the American West, the
Starting point is 00:42:28 pioneer story, the story of 1860s America with cowboys and Indians, and tell it honestly and accurately. It's the most accurate depiction of that time period I've ever seen. It's not woke at all. In fact, it starts with an Indian massacre from the Apaches, who the Apaches were really bad at the time, but also shows good Indians and good white guys and bad white guys. It's an epic, epic story. The other thing I thought of was move aside, uh, Clint Eastwood. I love Clint Eastwood westerns, especially the later ones. Kevin Costner has made Clint Eastwood look like John Wayne movies.

Starting point is 00:45:51 One of them is a big one that we have so far from the Supreme Court. It is the social media. Does the government? Can the government instruct social media? what to do. It's a big one, and from the looks of it as it was starting to come out, doesn't look like it's going to go well for the right. We'll explain, go through it, and also the debate tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:46:17 I want to spend a few minutes on what I think Donald Trump should say in the debate, how he should play this in the debate. We'll give you all of that.

Starting point is 00:47:47 Let me first go to Stu, who is monitoring what's coming out of the Supreme Court. Today, tomorrow, and Friday are going to have, there's going to be a lot of activity at the Supreme Court, and we will try to go over them the best we can because they're coming out live. One just was released about three minutes ago. Can you tell us anything about that, Stu? Yeah, this is Murthy v. Missouri. This is a court case that it was, we've talked about it. It was about basically whether the government going to social media companies and trying to get them to censor what they called misinformation was a violation of the First Amendment. and this is not going to be a good ruling.
Starting point is 00:48:29 I think this is going to be pretty bad. Hang on, hang on just a second. Sarah, can you call Sarah Colk and see if she can get the AG of Missouri on the phone to go through this with us? Yeah, it would be interesting. Yeah, that would be great. This is, to give you an easy basic sense, this is a 6-3 decision. The three in dissent who opposed it were Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch. So that's not necessarily a good thing.
Starting point is 00:48:53 That's not good. Now, it was written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett. She, it's seemingly mostly about standing. So that's, you know, just whether they were able to bring the case at all. And that is not necessarily something that would decide this. However, reading through the actual ruling here, it does seem to have bigger ramifications than that. Barrett writes, platforms had independent incentives. incentives to moderate content and often exercise their own judgment.
Starting point is 00:49:28 To be sure, the record reflects that the government defendants played a role in at least some of the platform's moderation choices, but the Fifth Circuit by attributing every platform decision, at least in part to the defendants, glossed over complexities in the evidence. Now, there is a case years and years ago, Glenn, called Bantam Books v. Sullivan. This is in the 60s. And they ruled that, yes, informal and indirect efforts, by the government to suppress speech basically can violate the First Amendment.
Starting point is 00:49:59 So the precedent here should have leaned our way does not look like it turned out our way here. So and we have one other one coming in. It's only going to be it looks like two today. So I'll give you the details of this here in a second. Do you know which one it is yet? Hold on.
Starting point is 00:50:20 If you give me about 30 seconds, I'll give this for you. Yeah, this is an. absolute gut punch to those of us that have to deal with social media and deal with the government. This is an absolute gut punch. We are being so suppressed right now. And it's all because of the election. I mean, we can't get any of our documentaries. Google is just blocking us every way.
Starting point is 00:50:44 YouTube blocking us in every way. I've told you before my Facebook page down 95% in traffic. Yet I'm having the best. best three, four years of my career bigger than when I was at Fox. How is that possible that all of a sudden my Facebook just in one month, just boom, and then stays there? How's that possible? How is that possible?
Starting point is 00:51:10 There's only one reason. We're being suppressed. Did you hear what Instagram was doing to Tucker Carlson? If you went and looked for Instagram and Tucker Carlson, you would find a whole bunch of other Tucker Carlson's before you would find him. That's it. Weird. And then when you did find him and you tried to subscribe or follow him, it would pop up a box that said, are you sure you want to follow Tucker Carlson?
Starting point is 00:51:37 This site has published many false facts and, you know, red herrings or whatever. Excuse me? I don't see that on anybody else's page from the left. No one. Keith Oberin. I mean, I'm just trying to think of the worst of the worst. Joy Reid. Nope.
Starting point is 00:52:04 That doesn't show up on Joy Reid. This is all happening and it's happening all over the globe. This is why Elon Musk was in so much trouble in Brazil recently because he was standing up against it and saying, no, you cannot tell me what to do and what not to do. So this is bad for people who believe in freedom of speech and believe in the government, not being able to coerce people into silencing others on their platform. I got to tell you, if the United States government called me and said,
Starting point is 00:52:42 hey, you need to silence whomever, whomever on our site, I would be stunned. I mean, if Donald Trump did that, I would say, no. I've actually had a Republican at one point kind of tried to do that with me. And I said, this is when I was running the blaze. And they called me and I said, uh, no. Well, look, we're friends, everything else. And I said, absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:53:17 I don't tell people what to do. what to say, that's their opinion. If they've said something that is inaccurate, please let me know, I will pass it on to them and ask them to make sure that they correct any error. But that's it. That's it. This is a whole different ballgame in a whole different world.
Starting point is 00:53:41 All right, Stu, do you have it yet? Yes, it's Snyder versus US. This is not one that was highly talked about on the media, I would say. It is a six-three decision on conservative liberal lines. Again, I use air quotes for that when I consider John Robertson the conservative majority. However, Jackson, Sotomayor and Kagan are the three dissenting here. It's about bribery case.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Basically, like, we all know you're not allowed to bribe someone for a policy in the future. The question was, can you essentially say thank you for a policy with a gift? Oh my gosh. And no. Well, no. And that's true almost everywhere. The question, though, was whether the federal government was the one to decide that. And the court ruled this is up to state and local legislatures to decide that.
Starting point is 00:54:34 That's good. That is really good. I mean, obviously. That is really good. I mean, no one is, I think, I don't think it's a good idea to encourage such behavior. But obviously, like, you know, there are some exceptions, I suppose, to that. But the question is who's going to be thinking about and designating the punishments for these things. And it should not be overwhelmed by the federal government.
Starting point is 00:54:57 It should go to the local officials. All right. Back in just a second and we'll talk about the debate. Let me tell you about my pillow. It's hard to keep a good company down, especially one that puts out really good products consistently the way my pillow does. I wear their slippers almost all the time now. I've been singing their praises of their pillow, especially their new one. I like their old one.

Starting point is 00:56:38 All right, tonight on my Wednesday night TV special, have you ever wondered why our entire economic system is now based on massive debt? And neither the Republicans or the Democrats ever seem to care about doing anything about it. All of the experts now, everyone is saying the new target for inflation appears to be 3% rather than previous 2% inflation. So why are they fine with prices going up 3% every year?
Starting point is 00:57:09 Food, gas, energy, already becoming scarce due to the rest of us getting priced out. So why is the green agenda making everything more scarce? And in the middle of all of this, neither party ever attempts to fix our border and immigration. No, they talk about it, but they never actually do it. Well, there's an answer for all of these things. Why the Chinese farmers? Do you know how much, how many businesses and land have been sold in the last few years alone to foreign entities? It is mind-blowing.
Starting point is 00:57:45 I'm going to show you some graphs tonight. One of them is about the average household wealth, and it is disappearing. and the government and the top 1% elites are sucking it up like a giant vacuum. It's a theft of the nation and the middle class is now on life support and we're being pushed into a two-class system, elites and government and then the rest of the serfs. Don't miss the Wednesday night special at 9 p.m. Eastern Blaze TV on my Thursday night program, Wednesday night program, Thursday will be on the YouTube channel if you can see it. Leitz have built a caste system for you. That's tonight. Now let me just let me be so bold to
Starting point is 00:58:32 address how I think President Trump should handle the debates with Joe Biden. Let me play cut six here. This is Joe Biden's campaign spokesperson talking about his accomplishments. Here we go. I think you've got to, first of all, take a step back and look at what President Biden has done for the economy. He's created over 15 million jobs. GDP has been at a record high. Unemployment's been low, especially among black Americans and Hispanic Americans. So you will see President Biden talking about his accomplishments. Uh-huh. Now, Donald Trump could come in and debate with Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:59:17 I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't debate with Joe Biden. I wouldn't debate with Jake Tapper. I would just say, look, what was your question, Jake? It was about Ukraine and what we're going to do in Ukraine? Okay. I'm not going to debate a guy on foreign policy.
Starting point is 00:59:36 He's responsible for the disaster of Afghanistan, for the Taliban being back, for the Russia-Ukraine war, for the Middle East. And the Russia, Ukraine, and now the Middle East has brought our gas prices, our food prices, and inflation to record highs. So I'm not going to, I'm not going to even talk about what he's doing. I'm just telling you right now, the American people cannot take it anymore. The American people cannot afford these kinds of decisions coming again. Well, what do you talk about? You know, he's created X number of jobs.
Starting point is 01:00:16 No, he hasn't, and have the facts. The New York Times even says. The Los Angeles Times just reported. And you could find them. There's been no job growth in California. The last year of all of the reported job growth in California was bogus. If you look at our job growth right now, you know who is getting jobs? Illegals.
Starting point is 01:00:45 You know who's not? There has not been any job growth since this man got into office with Americans other than part-time jobs. More and more people have to take part-time work, work two, three, even four jobs just to support the family. They can't afford rent. Why? Why did all of this happen? Because of his policies. So don't ask me to debate him on any of the family.
Starting point is 01:01:16 these things. He's so wrong. It's not worth anyone's time. Here's what I promise the American people. Your inflation is going to take a while to turn around. But I agree it exists. This man told you it didn't exist. It exists and it's dire. And we're losing the dollar because of his relationship with the Saudis and all of the problems that we have had here. we're going to lose the dollar. I will tell you that I, and I've done it before, I have created jobs. I have helped, and you know the best way the president can create jobs? Get out of the way.
Starting point is 01:02:02 This president creates jobs that are all in the United States government. I'd like to make the unemployment rate in the United States government high. I would like to make the employment rate for citizens. citizens of this country very low. What's that mean? It means the government's not going to be spending all the money, creating new jobs in the government. We're going to cut that. I would, I would, I would, this guy is a real estate mogul. I would say, right now, you can't afford housing. Well, I will tell you there's a place where you're going to be able to buy housing dirt cheap. and that is in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Because I'm going to cut this government size so dramatically that houses will be up for sale like never before. It will be a mass evacuation of Washington, D.C., only rivaled by the mass evacuation of California that these policies from the left have caused. I would just talk about gas prices, food prices, jobs, no matter what the question is. These are the actual facts. You know, were you better off when I was in charge of the economy?
Starting point is 01:03:31 Let's take COVID out of it on both sides. Were you better off now or before COVID? were you working did you have hope the the government is creating these jobs by spending the money that they take from you and that's not creating any new wealth the way to create jobs for the government the president to do it is free the people to work the way they want to work reduce all of the all of these ridiculous climate changing global warming All these special favors to unions, let people work and create. Let them choose the path and design their own life.
Starting point is 01:04:27 It's their life, not the life of the government of the United States of America. Let them free them to make their own decisions. Free them. I have so much belief in the American people that they can dig out. of any hole. Do we need to talk about the greatest generation? Dig them out of every hole. The government didn't do that. The people did. The people did. Well, we're in trouble again. And the world is being divvied up between Marxist and globalists and those who want power for themselves. I think I've taken it on the chin here long enough.
Starting point is 01:05:14 And I'm only getting hammered the way I am because I am the biggest obstacle standing in the globalist's way. I don't believe that any of this stuff is good for America. And I'm sorry, you know, I keep hearing America first is so, you know, Nazi or whatever. It's not. I love my country. I believe my country is the greatest beacon of freedom. How do I know that? Where do all the people around the world have always wanted to go?
Starting point is 01:05:49 To America. They recognize the freedom here that we are now on the edge of losing. So they can talk a good game. I'm going to actually do these things. Anybody who didn't vote for me last time because you didn't think that I would do the things I said I was going to do, I did them. I did them. Was your border more secure?
Starting point is 01:06:10 Was our world more secure? Were your classrooms more sane for your children? And could you afford groceries? That's what I think he needs to say in tomorrow night's debate over and over and over again. Keep bringing it to where people live. All right, rough greens. So maybe you're one of the ambitious people who actually make your own dog food at home. Congratulations.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Yeah, I tried doing that for a while. No, no, too much work. Kibble food just doesn't cut it because all the good stuff is cooked out. in the manufacturing process. And there's got to be some way to get your dog all the nutrition he needs where you can afford it. I mean, I like to make my dog food myself. I feed him chicken and it's raw chicken because dogs have an enzyme that they can just handle raw. Who can afford chicken for the family?
Starting point is 01:07:06 I need something that I can afford that will actually feed my dog in a good way. Well, you can buy whatever you want for kibble food and then put rough greens on top. It has all of the vitamins, minerals, probiotics that your dog needs to stay healthy and even get healthy, even if you think they're already. Roughgreens.com slash Beck.

Starting point is 01:07:41 I don't think there is another moment like this in my lifetime, like what comes tomorrow with Joe Biden and Donald Trump. This, if Donald Trump plays his cards right, he is going to clean the floor with Joe Biden. And not because Joe Biden is mentally incapable. I don't believe that is, I don't believe that we should be hanging our hat on that. because they've always they juice him up before these things they always do he's not the same person he is on the campaign trail giving speeches whatever he will be sharp tomorrow i believe Donald trump just needs to not fall into the trap they need him to fall into he he has got to remember that jake tapper and joe biden
Starting point is 01:09:03 whether they actually are colluding or not, I highly doubt, but CNN has done it before. It doesn't matter what they say. This is a chance to look at all Americans, not just MAGA supporters, not people who just voted for him the first time. All Americans. The case that he has tomorrow that I have not seen before, the clearest cut, even more than Reagan with Jimmy Carter, Reagan, and remember, that was fairly close. Reagan did not have the proof that he could do it as president. Donald Trump does.
Starting point is 01:09:48 And it was four years ago. People remember that. They remember that as being able to afford their groceries. You know, life was, you know, Joe Biden campaigned on a return to normalcy. Well, really? is this normal? Is any of the stuff that you've seen normal? You not being able to afford your house or an apartment.
Starting point is 01:10:10 61% of Americans cannot afford the rent for an apartment. 61%. Is that the normal you were looking for? Because I don't believe it was. You going in and not being able to afford groceries for your children or gas to get them school is that the normalcy that you were looking for this is all donald trump has to do and don't and and and joe biden's going to try to make it about him and i think joe uh donald trump needs to fight his uh natural instinct of defending himself making it about him this is this is this is
Starting point is 01:10:59 um this election really is all the interference is about him. But his most effective way of dealing with that is, is what he's always said over and over again. I am only a target because I'm standing in the way where they want to get to you. I'm standing in their way to control you. That's why I'm a target. And I'm happy to be that target for you. But I just want you to really understand.
Starting point is 01:11:32 the economy. And I want to talk to people who didn't vote for me before. You may not like me. That's fine. I do some things and I say some things that are crazy from times to time. You know, I'm an entertainer. I came from television. But I'm also a businessman.
Starting point is 01:11:51 And I want to recognize that as a businessman, no business can be done when no one has any money to buy anything. So even the businessmen who aren't getting payoffs or in public-private partnerships with this government, they all recognize that there's trouble because you can't afford to buy any of the products that you might want to buy. And you're being forced to buy products that you don't want to buy. Did anybody notice that what was it? I don't want to say the airline because I don't remember which one it was exactly. but one of the airlines now charging a new green fuel tax. They now have raised the prices of their flights because of green energy and green fuel that they're having to buy for their airplanes.
Starting point is 01:12:47 Okay, I love the planet and clean water as much as you do. But we have to prioritize and food and the well-being of our people. he's bailing out people for for student loans they agreed to take on they want they sought them out nobody forced you it's not like a medical condition where you're like I've got to get a college degree or I'll die
Starting point is 01:13:15 no they agreed and while they have been busy bailing them out nobody's bailing you out nobody's bailing out the average person Republican or Democrat You're working, you know, for GM, they're not bailing you out. They'll bail GM out. But they'll bail GM out because they're forcing you to make green cars, green energy cars and electric cars that have no future.
Starting point is 01:13:45 And you know this if you're working on the assembly line. You know it. So I want to talk to people who voted against me the first time or, you know, voted against me the second time. I just want to have you look at the bottom line here. Do you fear our government is going into war? That we are going to be in a global war. I have shown you my credentials. I brought peace to the Middle East.
Starting point is 01:14:23 I brought an end to wars. Have the wars gotten better or worse since I left? And ask yourself that question, for everything. And then ask, why have they spent so much time and money to destroy me? Because I stand for the exact opposite of what they stand for. I stand for you, the average American, the Democrats and the Republicans. They say it's wrong for us to say America first.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Well, women and children first. into the lifeboats and then get the lifeboats away from the masses that are struggling to keep their heads above water because they will overturn all of the lifeboats and everyone will be dead. America is a lifeboat.
Starting point is 01:15:23 The people that ran the white star line had to hide the fact that it was women and children first, oh, and the guy from the white star line. because that's offensive. Who's first? The banks, the businesses, or you? Who's first?
Starting point is 01:15:46 The global economy? The global governance? The global mandates? Or America? We are the lifeboats. And they are swumping all of the lifeboats with what they're doing on the border. He says that he's always, this was the latest, he always wants, he's always wanted to do something about the border and secure the border. Well, what's stopping you, Mr. President?
Starting point is 01:16:17 Because I had it secure. We didn't have these problems. And again, let me ask the average voter, Republican and Democrat, do you feel our country is safer today from terrorists or not? Were you safer back in 2018 than you are now? Are your cities safer? It's not a just a long series of ups and downs. These ups and downs are being caused by policies. And Donald Trump should say, my policies, you've seen them in action.
Starting point is 01:17:00 You may not like me. But what policies did I enact? You say it's the Supreme Court, and I would not get into any of this, but you say it's the Supreme Court because these guys just judged what you can and can't do. No, California has more abortion now than it did before Roe v. Wade was overturned. New York, the same. Abortions are actually up. So he's not taking your right away. He's saying that nobody in black robes should decide.
Starting point is 01:17:36 what you as a state and a local community do. Just like I'm saying, no one should decide in government what your business has to do. Most important thing Donald Trump needs to do tomorrow night is make sure that he makes this about the voters of all sides, independents, Democrat, Republicans. He has an opportunity to really enlarge the tent. but he has to be compassionate and recognize this time. The first one was about him. This time it's about the struggles of the people.
Starting point is 01:18:25 If he can have the compassion, which I know he has, the guy is completely different in person. He is a good, compassionate man. If he can come across what I've seen in private with him, if he can not be mean, not snarky, but sad, sad for the country, sad for what people are going through, and say, I'm not only going to protect and serve the Constitution of the United States, I will protect and serve the people of the United States. They are first. I think there is a historic opportunity for him to shut this down and turn the tables over.
Starting point is 01:19:15 if he can appeal like Reagan used to, if he can appeal to those Democrats that are disenfranchised, those independents that are tired of all of this stuff, he can expand his base a great deal. And tomorrow, I think, is the debate that's going to matter. I mean, ending in a tie. is not good enough. And Jake Tapper and Joe Biden have enough of the same points of view that they can make
Starting point is 01:19:56 it that. Forget those two even exist on the stage. You know who you are Donald Trump. You know who you serve the American people. You know what your policies are. Don't get into it with him. Don't. It's not worth it.
Starting point is 01:20:12 It's not worth your time. There's 24 fact checkers from the New York Times. Do you think they're really going to look at that? the facts, no. So don't do it. Speak on the things that you absolutely are rock solid on. And that's not necessarily every policy. That's not necessarily, even though you are good at the policies. It is on the values and the principles of serving people and freeing people so they can chart their own course and build wealth again. Just talk about the principles.
Starting point is 01:20:51 And I think you will win. Back in just a second. All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Good Ranchers. Good Ranchers is therefore not only our ranchers. It is so important what is happening. The government is, you know, with this ear tag thing,
Starting point is 01:21:11 I know you don't probably pay attention to this at all because, you know, most people think we get our meat from the grocery store in Styrofoam. They come from farms, and a good portion of our meat is no longer coming from America because people like Bill Gates and the United States government are putting these small ranches out of business. And they're tagging and making the farmers buy really expensive ear tags. We already can track where all the cows are from. We don't need the expensive RFID. It's just another way to hurt the ranchers. Well, good ranchers is standing up with the good ranchers of America. And they buy all locally sourced from local ranches.
Starting point is 01:21:54 And they buy the meat. And then it's the meat, the chicken, the seafood, the brots, the sausages, whatever you want. You can get it American made and support the ranchers, support the paralyzed veterans. because every box that is sold, they also donate money to the paralyzed veterans as well. And you in the long run are going to save a lot of money because it's going to get more expensive to buy meat. So get the best meat you can get, get American meat, do the thing that will support, especially for July 4th. If you order one of their boxes now, you'll get free brots for a year with your subscription. Make this Independence Day unforgettable with food that brings everybody to,

Starting point is 01:27:00 Onondon.C.A. Hello, America. Welcome to the Gleinbeck Program. Well, Julina Assange is free. After 12 years on the run. I happen to agree with Julian Assange in many, many aspects. I thought what he did was expose the dangerous truth about who we were becoming. But it was also a national security risk, et cetera, et cetera.
Starting point is 01:28:12 So now the Biden administration and the DOJ just forgive him. And he's free. And all kinds of machinery went into work all across the globe to allow him now. to just be free. What? Did he exchange anything for that? What was the cost of that freedom? While everybody is celebrating, something doesn't feel right.
Starting point is 01:28:38 I want to talk to you about that in 60 seconds. First, our sponsor this half hour is American financing. Look, I want you to call if you are worried about losing your house, if you are worried now about your credit card debt and everything that is going on with your credit. cards right now because the interest rate is so high, I want you to consider making your mortgage work for you. You've got to get out from underneath this debt and things are going to get worse. Now, you could still be planning for a long term and setting up your financial future and getting out a debt an easy way, and that is by calling American financing.
Starting point is 01:29:22 Give American financing a call, let one of their dedicated mortgage specialist help you examine all of the options. So you don't have to walk around with all of this stress. There are ways around it. You still have to pay for the debt and everything else, but you don't have to pay 30% interest on that debt. Your mortgage can be made to work for you. And the average person now that calls American financing is saving about $10,000 to $12,000 a year. That's quite a raise. call American financing at 800906 2440 800906 2440 or go to American

I'm one of those people that I'm not giddy about it, but I actually fall now into, closer into Julian Assange's camp, because what he did release, some called him a free speech warrior, some called him a dangerous activist that put our military and national security at risk, because he hacked and then published millions of documents on WikiLeaks.
Starting point is 01:30:53 So how did this happen? Well, he just pled guilty to espionage as part of a deal with the U.S. Justice Department. Now, I don't know if you know this, but espionage can actually carry a death penalty. And espionage is a really big deal. But the DOJ under Biden has just said, well, time served. For what they've been saying is the largest espionage case in our country's history. I just want an understanding. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with Julian Assange being, you know, freed and allowed to go.
Starting point is 01:31:43 But really? I mean, that seems very magnanimous. And it was the Biden, DOJ. And Biden came out yesterday and wanted to make it very clear. he had nothing to do with the deal. He doesn't know what's on his son's laptop. He's never been involved with his son's business. He has no idea what the Justice Department is doing.
Starting point is 01:32:05 They had no, no information about the Mar-Lago thing. They're not trying to cancel your gas stove. There's nothing further from the truth. And they had nothing to do with this deal with Julian Assange. Now, I find that hard to believe only because you would think, the president of the United States, you might want him to weigh in on this. But maybe Joe is just completely out to space and out to lunch, uh, and he doesn't, he can't string three words together. He's just a nice old man that doesn't understand. Maybe, maybe, but there was
Starting point is 01:32:47 a deal made. We know that. And it was made in secret. Now this according to the New York times, A quote, a secret hearing, don't like it already. A secret hearing paved the way for his release. In the end, the choreographed multinational dance that led to his release took place behind closed doors at a secret bail hearing in London last Thursday, according to British officials. Now, the Aussies were involved in this. the British were involved in this, the Americans were involved, and my spider senses are tingling a bit. Now, this morning early, we may have gotten maybe a tip, or it was a mistake, an accident. The X account and wokeness noticed something odd early, early this morning while you were asleep.
Starting point is 01:33:54 All 20,000 leaked DNC emails have just been removed from WikiLeaks. Huh. Now they say, this is, and Wokeness, that this is part of the deal with Biden's DOJ, and everything now makes sense. Well, I don't know if that's true. My team did verify that while other hack archives on WikiLeaks are still up, including Hillary Clinton's emails, When you click on the DNC archive, it does produce a server error.
Starting point is 01:34:34 Okay, they're all gone. That's odd, but maybe it just is a server error. Is this proof the DOJ Coer is dishonest to cover up their embarrassing secrets in exchange for him is freedom? No, today it's a server error. Now, I've had server errors before. And my company can fix them pretty quickly. So is this just a server error that's going to be fixed and all of those will be returned? We ask WikiLeaks to confirm if this was just a technical glitch or more evidence of a politically motivated and corrupt DOJ. We'll let you know if they come back to us with a response.
Starting point is 01:35:25 But my gut says something very dirty happened here. and we'll never actually know what happened in that secret meeting, unless somebody from WikiLeaks gets their hands on some more documents. Then maybe we will know. It wouldn't it be nice to be able to trust law enforcement officials? To be in it for the law and not for themselves or for their cronies? Wouldn't it be nice? I'd like that.
Starting point is 01:35:55 I'd like that on both sides. I'd like that not to happen with the Republicans. I'd like that not to happen with the Democrats. maybe maybe that's too much to hope for. But we'll find out, starting with the debate, tomorrow night. There are some, by the way, reports that some of those emails have been taken down, the DNC emails.
Starting point is 01:36:18 So I don't know if that's part of this. You know, again, I'm not necessarily going to go to, I mean, I think if I go to WikiLeaks, I'll have federal agents at my door tomorrow. So I'm not, I'll let your other employees check that out for you. but yeah they already have they already have they are down they are down now okay um i thought you thought you said those were still up my my mistake um by by the way i'm the debate glad hillary clinton's hillary clinton's were right that's what i was saying there are reports now that those have been
Starting point is 01:36:44 taken down oh um so that'll be who knows that uh holds up we'll see okay that's interesting question on the debate though you mentioned this and you know a lot of the coverage has been a little weird of the wiki leaks thing and the wiki leaks thing has really switched over the years right It was really conservatives at the beginning who were opposed to him. Liberals loved the guy because Bush was president. Over time, that's really sort of changed. Right now, you know, Assange seems to be getting relatively positive press coverage. And as you've pointed out many, many times, you know, watch the other hand.
Starting point is 01:37:17 What else is going on in these situations? You've trained us all to think this way. And I was watching with the debate and I had a question because I'm doing a show on Studez America tonight on expectations for this debate. and focusing on like are Biden's expectations too low and all of these things? And the one question keeps popping into my mind and I just don't have the right answer on it yet. I don't know what it is and I think that you, maybe you do. Let me ask you this. We're leading up to this debate.
Starting point is 01:37:47 Trump is saying, you know, everyone's been saying for a very long time, Trump has an advantage over Biden here. he's he you know Biden is bumbling and incoherent and all these things this is what the right has been saying and there's been criticism as whether you should try to lower expectations about that but like you can see that would be the obvious goal of Biden here right like he wants to go into this debate looking like he he's just I don't know I mean who knows if he's going to be the Donald Trump's a wrecking ball and I don't know if we'll be able to be a misst his debate you know That's what you do before a debate.
Starting point is 01:38:27 You lower your expectations. You raise the other person's expectations. And hopefully you can outdo those expectations. But there has been, Glenn, nonstop coverage from the mainstream media on one specific thing leading up to this debate, which is how intensely Joe Biden has been preparing for it. Like he is, he's got every aid around him. he's doing debate after debate after debate, intense policy preparation. He's doing all of the stuff.
Starting point is 01:39:00 And with Donald Trump, it's like, oh, he's at a rally. He's not even doing any mock debates. He's barely, and he's doing some, you know, policy stuff, but that's about it. But with Biden, it's like raising expectations as if this man is going to be the sharpest man. You've ever seen this is the best that Joe Biden can possibly do
Starting point is 01:39:19 because he's done all of this prep leading up to this debate. Why would the mainstream media be framing this in this way? Well, I mean, I hate to go back to our bet. But I do think that this was planned this early to give an opportunity for him to succeed or fail disastrously and then having to replace him. I think there is a chance of that. But there's also an equal chance, perhaps, that it's not some conspiracy or anything else. It is just doing the old playbook of the president is really in touch with the facts, and he's working hard to make it look.
Starting point is 01:40:17 I mean, he might be sipping jello right now. We don't know. But to make him look vigorous, he's doing all of this stuff at Camp David. He might be sleeping the whole time. I don't know. But that's what you want to say. That's what they said about Jimmy Carter, that he was at Camp David preparing for his debates with Ronald Reagan.
Starting point is 01:40:37 And what happened? This is why I gave the advice to Donald Trump that I just did a little while ago. And that is make it about the things that you know. Make it about our principles. Don't make it about the facts. figures. Jimmy Carter came in and he was a wonky guy and he could remember the farm bill and all the details of the farm bill and this and that. Where Reagan at first was being told by all the advisors, make sure you know this, you know this, you know this. And they said to Ronald Reagan,
Starting point is 01:41:17 which should be said to Donald Trump, let Reagan be Reagan. Let Trump be Trump. Let Trump be Trump. And it was Roger Ailes who said to him, look, you're Mr. Reagan at the time. You, that's not why people like you. They don't come to you for, you know, all the facts and figures. They come to you because of your vision and your ideals. You maybe believe in five different things. But those five things will answer the Farm Bill.
Starting point is 01:41:54 you believe in farmers and that farmers should be set free and they shouldn't have the government breathing down their neck and if you get a foot off of the neck of our farmers that they're going to be able to find a way because they're the hardest working Americans out there talk about that if he brings up the farm bill so if it is the old strategy of Joe Biden having all the facts and figures to try to make Donald Trump look like he doesn't know what's going on. Donald Trump should stand on that. Look, he's making it all about numbers. Okay.
Starting point is 01:42:34 Here's the number you need to care about. Are you better off than you were when I was president? Are you better off right now? You're paying lower gas prices. Do you feel safer? How's your personal economy going? Do you feel more confident that next year is going to be good if he wins? that's the only numbers I really care about
Starting point is 01:42:53 because I work for you but let me tell you about the vision for America and what America First really means that is the home run and it will make Biden look maybe competent but unrelatable nobody is going to sit there and listen to a guy
Starting point is 01:43:18 who A has his record and I don't think Trump needs to keep pointing it out other than how much is your gas right now? Let's talk about green energy. You oppose the green energy bill and would you pull us out of the Paris Accords? Yeah, in a heartbeat. Let me ask you, how much did you, the American viewer, how much did you pay for gas today, yesterday, the day before? How much do you believe that the future is going to be cars, run on batteries. Did you know we spend, I don't know how many billions of dollars to create a whole
Starting point is 01:43:57 system of chargers all across the country? We have six as of, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was updated earlier last week. I forgot. We now have seven chargers for something that cost us billions of dollars and they won't be installed until 2030, if then. Do you have confidence in the government or do you have confidence in yourself and your neighbors and your community. That's what Donald Trump has to do. And unless they're setting Joe Biden up for a failure to replace him with God only knows who, maybe they're just playing the old game. But the people will see through it.
Starting point is 01:44:39 I think that explanation makes sense at most times, right? They've been trying this thing where they say, well, yes, Joe Biden looks like a bumbling fool when you see him on camera, but when he's off camera, he's incredible. He's amazing. I don't know if he's just allergic to the camera or what, but when you can't see him, he's incredible. But that doesn't necessarily work as a preview to a debate when you have an ending to it. So I mean, hang on. Let me get your opinion on it here in a second. Let me just break for 60 seconds. And I want to get your opinion on it. When was the last time you cleaned out the gutters on your house? Yeah. I know.
Starting point is 01:45:19 forgot I even had gutters. It has gutters and you got to clean them out. Otherwise, you're going to have a problem with your foundation. You're going to have a problem with rot and everything else. Here's a better solution than getting up on the ladder. Have your son do it. Okay? That's why I had, you know, that's why I have children.

Starting point is 01:46:41 So what conclusion do you draw from that, Stu? I don't know that I have the right answer. I think there's something to the idea that perhaps the group of people inside the Democratic party who are looking for a potential replacement are leaking this to the media, trying to build expectations that he's very, very prepared. And if it goes poorly, they have that rip cord. Yeah, that makes sense. Kind of makes sense to me, but I don't know that that's right. I just, you know, the whole part of me also thinks the reason they scheduled this early,
Starting point is 01:47:22 this debate this early is just because of the amount of time that will go by for people to forget it. I mean, we're going to be, we're going to have this debate tomorrow and then in a week beyond July 4th, you know, break. And there's plenty of months to go. There's only one reason to do the debates this early. A. And they're all the same. A, let, give people enough time to forget about it if it's bad. if it's really, really bad, give us time to replace him. All of these things.
Starting point is 01:48:00 You don't do a debate before a convention. The other reason is, well, because we don't know if he's bad now, can you imagine what he's going to be like in six months? Okay, and that's a real possibility as well. But none of those things are good. You can't come up with a good reason why he wanted to debate now instead of in the fall. So I think you have to put some
Starting point is 01:48:23 eggs in the basket of, yeah, there are people that want to replace him, and this may be the opportunity. There is really something frustrating about knowing that you need to get a good solid night's sleep, and yet you're completely unable to do it. Lots of things can make it hard to fall asleep

Tonight, I'm going to explain the economy, explain not just the economy, what's happening to our country, the fundamental transformation. You know, our whole economic system is now based on massive debt, but neither the Republicans or Democrats seem to care to do anything about it. All the experts say that the new target for inflation, the target should be 3%. That means you lose three cents on every dollar, you know, every single year. That adds up pretty quickly. You've
Starting point is 01:50:53 already lost 24 cents on every dollar that you had in 2020 if you still have that dollar. Food, gas, energy, becoming scarce because we're being priced out and they're making things more scarce. In the middle of all this, nobody is really even talking about actually fixing our border in immigration. We're selling farmland and even public lands are being sold to foreign countries. It is a theft of a nation. The middle class is now on life support. So why is all this happening? Why?
Starting point is 01:51:35 And can it all be tied together? And what do you need to know so you're not a victim? Tonight, Wednesday night special 9 p.m. on Blaze TV. and then tomorrow on my YouTube channel, American elites have built a caste system for you. That's tonight, Blaze TV, 9 p.m. All right. You know, the debate is happening tomorrow,
Starting point is 01:52:01 and all Donald Trump has to do is just quickly, don't dwell on them. The failures just continue. I mean, war, I had the Middle East all sewed up. He's got it into war. That his solution is to build a big Gaza float, a big floaty out there. And it doesn't work. It's a disaster.
Starting point is 01:52:27 I mean, because everything this guy has touched is a disaster. I actually think the Gaza Pier is a perfect microcosm of his entire presidency and every one of his policies. Yeah. I agree. The peer is so fascinating. because it hits every little aspect of one of these Biden proposals and how it works out. It starts with these sort of supposed good intentions, the good, warm feelings, right? Like, he's going to save these people.
Starting point is 01:53:00 He's going to bring in, it's not the evil Jews. He's instead going to go help these people. He's going to, he cares so much about the Gazans that he's going to build a peer. and he's going to get them all this aid, and it's not enough. Of course, the Jews should do more, but still, it's incredibly impressive what he's trying to do. And then you get the gushingly positive media coverage, right? Like not only the caring reasons and all these incredible, the heart of Joe Biden, but also the sort of innovative and novel approach.
Starting point is 01:53:39 Look at this approach. She came up with a peer. This is incredible. And really doing what our military is meant to do. And that is just to serve the people and feed them. Yes. You know, to help. Not to kill.
Starting point is 01:53:53 Not to kill, but to help. Now, every one of these proposals that follows this timeline also includes some legalistic rule bending. Right? Because, of course, in reality, you know, you can't actually just give away all this money for student loans, for example. right? You have to come up with some, well, there was a bill that Bush passed for military citizens back in 2005. And we're just going to use that and expand it to 1,000 times in size. Like there's always some legalized rule betting here. It's they promised and promised and promised and promised no boots on the ground. Over and over. We are not going to put any boots on the ground. We're not going to do that. That's a red line. There's no way we're going to do that. So what we're going to do to do is put boats on a pier 50 feet from the ground. That's we sweat. They're floating. The feet in the boots are floating. So we're totally justified here. You don't even need boots. You should dip your toes in the water. We recommend that. You don't even have boots. That's the next one.
Starting point is 01:54:59 Have boots. These soldiers aren't sneakers. What are you talking about? We've all given them, we've given them sneakers to go on the soil. Like, again, like they're always trying to come up with some crazy justification for these things. And it's always some legalistic thing that doesn't actually make sense. Everyone knows is false. But like we're all just accepting this with the peer, right? Oh, you're not going to get involved. You're not going to put our soldiers on the ground there. Okay, but they can just sit, you know, 10 feet offshore. And while they're touching equipment, the people on the ground are also touching equipment. The same piece of equipment as it rolls out. We're touching one side. They're touching the other. But that doesn't count as boots on the ground.
Starting point is 01:55:39 to this particular administration. Then, of course, Glenn, you get it massively expensive and way over budget. $230 million that we know of just to build the peer that obviously was never going to solve the problem anyway. That's a whole other aspect. No, it could have, but they didn't calculate for waves. Right. Which is something you should calculate for when building something on a an ocean. No, not, not. It's not a ocean. It's the Mediterranean Sea, and that's very different. True. And they, they expected it to be smooth as glass. And the Navy, you know, this is a naval
Starting point is 01:56:21 project. They know this is completely unexpected. Yeah. And of course, he'll blame them as well. But, you know, massively expensive, massively over budget, costing way too much for what it even could theoretically do. But then you get to the next step, which of course is, it's immediately shown to doing much less good than was ever promised, right? Immediately, the first estimate of how much aid got to the Gossans was literally zero. No aid had gotten to the Gossans. When they did get ships off of this pier, they were being intercepted by gun-toting terrorists on the way. So none-
Starting point is 01:57:05 Were they Gossens? Were they Gossens? Were they Gossans? I mean, if they're terrorists, they must be Jews, no? I mean, I think that's how this government at this point is operating. Okay, yeah, you can make a good point. It's the Jamal Bowman thesis, but I mean, at some level, it is pretty impressive that they continue to do this. And, like, you know, the failures are massive, amazing.
Starting point is 01:57:25 They were supposed to get two million meals a day off of this pier. Now, at no point was that ever moderately realistic. It was never going to happen at any time. However, they have not even come close to doing two million meals on any day. At no point did they come close to two meals. How about 250 meals? I would not, I mean, again, the initial, in congressional testimony, the initial estimate was zero. Now, they're now counting meals just getting off the pier.
Starting point is 01:58:00 That's their new metric. Oh, it's just, well, we got these meals off the pier. We handed them to them. Who knows what happens after that? That's their new measure of success. But wait, that was the whole reason to build the pier. So you knew who it was going to. It wouldn't fall in the hands of the terrorists.
Starting point is 01:58:15 And of course, they do know who it's going to. And shockingly enough, a lot of times it is terrorists. And there's not always the Venn diagram of the Palestinians and the terrorists. There's a bit of an overlap. I don't know if anyone's noticed this. Huh. Yeah. But not full.
Starting point is 01:58:34 Also, maybe we're targeting, I don't know, the very small percentage of people who weren't cheering on October 7th. But those people are not the ones getting the food. So it's not working at all. Then we get to the next step here, which is the pier is literally crumbling into pieces. In front of our eyes, it's breaking apart. It is a catastrophe. They didn't plan for waves, as you pointed out, Glenn. They are saying now the entire pier feels like.
Starting point is 01:59:04 like it is a bunch of metal Legos that are pieced together and constantly smashing into each other as the waves come in. Do you at any point in this scenario think of, and I don't know why, it's unreasonable to do it, but feel like we've become the old Soviet Union? Gosh, it does feel that. That's exactly this is exactly this type of crap. They did, right? They'd have these big, high-minded initiatives. They would fail miserably. and no one would ever be held accountable for the failure. I mean, I bring this up again to you, my friend, Glenn, and I know you hate despise this point, but I'm going to say it again. $230 million. Every April 15th you will pay taxes for your entire life
Starting point is 01:59:49 and not make enough money and pay enough money into this government to pay for one of the metal Legos on this freaking Gazap here. All your efforts for your entire life will not cover one of these metal Legos they're putting together in Gaza so they can give money, or at least a valuable aid,
Starting point is 02:00:11 to terrorists. Like, this is how incomprehensible this crap is and why it should never, ever happen. And then we are just getting to this point now, because they've already had to shut down the pier for 18 full
Starting point is 02:00:27 days, where nothing happened. And no one could go it because it was so unstable. They've now shut it down for 18 days in various days whenever the weather gets bad. They're bragging about that, by the way. We can see the weather coming so we can shut down the
Starting point is 02:00:43 Peter whenever needed. Oh, great. Wow. Now they're finally acknowledging that this is not going to work, that this is going to be a failure. We're going to have to take it down and there will never be any accountability for the failure. And they will just,
Starting point is 02:00:59 the media will pick it up and say, the problem was just that method. We need to find another way to do the same thing. And these Republicans are opposing that. So all this whole story leads to the evil conservatives are the bad guys. You know what's really weird is I think we, because there was a big war, now I'm just telling you a fantasy story here. There was a big war a long, long time ago in Europe.
Starting point is 02:01:28 And it destroyed almost everything. Okay. And there were there was a place in this little hamlet of a country named to Germany that the Americans couldn't go. But the people were starving to death. But if we cross that line, we would then probably start another war with our allies. And so we couldn't we couldn't cross over and put any boots on the ground. And we promised we wouldn't put any boots on the ground. And there were a lot of really bad guys, terrorists. and everything else that were there on the ground. And so we devised this plan. Now this is gonna sound all old timey, but we devised a way to just drop food from the sky. What? Yeah. And then, you know, sometimes the bad guys, Germans, Russians, whatever,
Starting point is 02:02:20 sometimes they got it. But most of the time, because it was such an overwhelming supply, it got to the right people. And we saved all those people from starving. Now, we can't do that, of course, because, well, I don't think I need to go into all of the details on why we couldn't do that again, but we can't. It's so much better to put ships just off the coast where they have terrorist boats and build something that absolutely had no chance of working from the beginning, spending a lot of money and not helping the starving people. Yeah. It's so much better.
Starting point is 02:03:00 So much better to do that. We should point out that the people they were trying to help are firing missiles at the pier. That's a whole other aspect of this, but that's part of this as well. Yeah, we didn't do that. No. We didn't do that back in this story time war. We didn't. All right, back in just a second.
Starting point is 02:03:17 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It is Tunnel to Towers Foundation. I want you to meet an American hero is U.S. Army Major Jonathan Turnbull. During a tour of duty, Major Turnbull was severely. injured during an attack from an ISIS suicide bomber. Left eye completely lost. His right was punctured after more than 20 surgeries and countless hours of painful rehabilitation. Thank God he's still alive and well, but his life was completely changed. That's where the Tunnel to Towers Foundation paid off his mortgage, gave him a specially adapted smart home designed specifically
Starting point is 02:03:53 for his needs. Now he can move around his home more easily now, peace of mind that he is that he He should have, and all of our veterans should have after they come back and defending our country at such a high cost. But we have veterans that are homeless. We don't give them hotels in New York. No, we give illegals, but we won't give our veterans a hotel in New York. Can't do that for some reason. That's why Tunnel to Towers is here because the government never does the right thing, in my opinion. Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at T2T.org.
Starting point is 02:04:27 Leave the work up to the people who actually care and can make a difference. Tunnel to T2T.org. Would you help our veterans in so many different ways and help America never forget the cost of freedom? It's $11 a month they'd like to ask you for, but if you can do just one month, that would be fine as well. 95 cents of every dollar goes directly to these programs. It's t-the-number-tut-t.org. The previous content identified as a rant. You're welcome, or we're sorry.
Starting point is 02:05:05 The Glenn Beck program will be right back. So coming up on Saturday, this Saturday, wherever you get your podcasts, go to my feed, and look for episode number four of the Beck story. It is my new backstory history podcast series. This season, we are doing, I think, eight episodes. And it all is about the experts. How did we get here?
Starting point is 02:05:58 How are we listening to these experts who are constantly steering us wrong? And yet they don't have any accountability. And we just put up with it. How did that happen? So episode number four takes a deep dive into the American education. we knew, as founders, we knew that the success of the Republic depended on having an educated, engaged citizen. But they couldn't have imagined how the U.S. education system would morph into something that de-emphasized reading, writing, and arithmetic, and biblical values to the progressive-dominated system today that's hyper-focused on identity politics and radical left-wing agendas. and it's crazy. How did we get here?
Starting point is 02:06:48 Well, we start with the early progressives, the early 1900 college professor named John Dewey. The first season of the backstory. Progressivism, how it developed a cult of expertise and how this obsession continues to drive the left-wing quest for control. All of these episodes get to the root of what's really happening in America
Starting point is 02:07:12 and how to fix it. Don't miss. episodes one, two, and three of the Beck story available now, episode four this Saturday, wherever you get your podcasts.
