Starting point is 00:00:00 This year, America celebrates its 250th birthday. Two and a half centuries, Americans have worked hard. We've built a life. We've sometimes owned a home. That was truly ours. That's why it's so disturbing to learn that criminals don't have to break a window or kick a door in to come after that dream. All it takes is publicly available information of Ford's signature and some paperwork filed in the right place. Suddenly, you find yourself trying to prove that that home that was yours, you bought and paid for it, you worked hard to build equity in, is actually yours.
Starting point is 00:00:30 That's why I want you to know about home title lock. They provide 24-7 title monitoring. They'll send you an urgent alert if something suspicious appears on the title. And they have a 100% fraud restoration success rate. Wow. To celebrate America's 250, Home Title Lock is offering 25% off for the two years of the home title fraud protection. That's $100 in savings and peace of mind.

Thanks for joining us. Iran's making some interesting claims, and the president had some interesting things to say about it to Axios yesterday. We'll get into that and lots more in 60 seconds. You know, there's a strange thing that happens when the cost of living goes up.
Starting point is 00:02:17 You start looking for little places to save money well. Some of the biggest expenses in your life are sitting there untouched. You cancel a subscription. buy the cheaper groceries, maybe put off a purchase for another month, but meanwhile, those credit cards are still charging you 20% interest. If you own your home, American financing wants you to look at the bigger number. The equity you've built in your home may give you a way to consolidate that high-interest credit card debt and dramatically reduce what you're obligated to pay every month.
Starting point is 00:02:50 In fact, American financing borrowers save an average of $800 a month. And there are zero upfront fees. You may even be able to delay up to two mortgage payments. And timing matters because rates are currently in the fives with a strong chance they could move higher in September. There are zero upfront fees. You may even be able to delay up to two-month mortgage payments. Lock in your lower rate before September. Call today, 800-906-2440.

So, Iran's Revolutionary Guard insisted yesterday they will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until the United States complies with their list of demands. How about no? No. I'm just no. That's not even worth entertaining because it includes compensation for war damage. No. It also includes that they will charge fees. Everybody will admit, I guess, that they charge fees for your passage through the Strait of Hormuz after the war is over.
Starting point is 00:04:18 No. And on and on. I mean, it's a ridiculous list of demands. The president didn't really react very strongly to it. He said yesterday he's prepared to allow economic pressure on a random amount, as opposed to ordering a new military offensive. Even as the country continues to defy the United States, only a week ago, President Trump was on the verge of ordering a return to major combat operations,
Starting point is 00:04:49 but in an interview with Axios, he didn't make any new military threats. He also didn't express any anger or frustration about the fact that Iran has been holding up an announcement on a deal with Oman to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. And on Saturday, they gave their list of demands. President Trump, though, said, we're low-keying it. Wow. We're only semi-negotiating with them. We're just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact that they have no money. He stressed that Iran is in very bad shape, economic.
Starting point is 00:05:24 and has no money to pay its troops. The U.S. naval blockade has exacerbated the Iranian regime's economic crisis, he said. At the same time, President Trump said that the oil, that with oil down to slightly over $75 a barrel, U.S. consumers are feeling less pain from the war. Are they? I don't know about that. He said it'll work out. It always works out. It's like a chess game.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Okay. Well, is that how you feel about it? I don't know. I mean, not really. Not really? I mean, all right, you've backed me into a corner. I think we should just bomb the heck out of them. That's kind of where I am.
Starting point is 00:06:09 I say whatever is left in our arsenal, we expend it all right now. And just let them have it. You push me back into the corner. Yes. I'm really tired of this. And as I said on our show earlier, I'm just not in a good place with this. anymore. I just want to hit them as hard as we possibly can because they only
Starting point is 00:06:29 seem to respond to one thing and that's violence. Yeah. And I mean, while we care about the people in Iran, they don't. They don't at all. Clearly the alphabet, what is it, the I R, G.C. Yeah. They clearly don't. They do not. They clearly don't. Because I think they're fine. I think the leadership in Iran
Starting point is 00:06:53 has what they need. The people may not, and they don't care about the people. Yeah, I mean, sure, and absolutely, we're squeezing them financially every way we can, or at least we will be soon. Besson has been proudly touting
Starting point is 00:07:09 that, and the president is you know, I guess content for now, or at least he was during the Axios interview, that that is going to be enough. And I, you know, I don't think it is because, again, they don't care about those people.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Not at all. There's 93, over 93 million people in Iran. And I don't think they could, I think they could care less about the people of Iran. I think so too. They couldn't care less. I almost did what I absolutely hate myself. In fact, I did do it. Good.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I let you go. They couldn't care less about their 93 million people. So it's just, it's. It's difficult to expect the economic forces to drive the regime because they don't care. Because they don't care. Yeah. Because they're probably fine and they've got enough stashed away that they're going to continue to do fine. And even if they don't.
Starting point is 00:08:10 You know, they certainly have ways of getting things smuggled into them. So, I mean, I'm sure some of that, you know, they will say is going to the people. right that's cute yeah yeah and you know it's not you know it's not making it's so i'm not sure if this is this like dad that he's been uh now he's is trump like the dad who's just disappointed in the kids you know i've been spanking him all this time and it still doesn't seem to be working i'm just i'm just done with it um you know what i'm not going to give them their their allowance anymore well i think you know he's threatened so many times and then called off the threat so many times that I think he realizes he can't keep doing that.
Starting point is 00:08:58 And so he's not doing that this time. And I hope that he is not doing that just because he knows he's going to do it soon. And hopefully in the next couple days, the American bombing campaign begins. I would like that very much. And a serious bombing campaign. Yeah. Serious bombing campaign. Like it was before, if not even more intense.
Starting point is 00:09:22 you know oh yeah a lot more intense yes return to the early days and then some and look if if we're if we're short on a couple of uh kind of missiles use the other ones right use the ones we're not short on yeah which he said uh we've got plenty of we've got an almost endless supply right correct and pistol of the dumb weapons and pistol pete was uh all wound up when you start telling him that we're short on weapons. He's like, you're out of your mind. We're not. This is the American military. He denied that a lot. Yes, he did. Strongly. So I hope he's right. Me too. I hope we have plenty of... I mean, that's what I want him to say. I want him to say. I want him to believe that's true. Yeah. Yeah, I think we all do.
Starting point is 00:10:07 But where are you with this? Triple-8-727 B-E-C-K. Are you, should we pursue just economic reality? Are we doing better with the gas prices? Are you feeling less pain? It was like, what, 320 this weekend? Shut up. It's fine. It's fine. 320.
Starting point is 00:10:27 That's perfect. I don't think a lot of the country's paying 320 since the average national price is over $4 a gallon. I think Texas is fortunate in that, you know, we've got the refineries close by. So you say the rest of the country is like, why don't you shut up? Yeah. Yes, I think so. Especially in California where we heard last week that in some. places it's $8 a gallon. I don't even survive at that. I don't know. I honestly don't know.
Starting point is 00:10:57 I don't know because that's ridiculous. Yeah. I mean, it's incredible. I mean, you're walking. I mean, for my car, it holds 21 gallons. So you're talking about a are you driving that car in California? I mean, no, right. Probably not because that would be just 20 gallons. It would be $160 $160 to fill up my tank. $160. And that's, and in California where you have to similar kind of to Texas and in fact that you have to drive a thousand miles
Starting point is 00:11:28 to get places if you want to do anything in your life. So, you know, that gas isn't, you know, you're going to want a vehicle that's getting at least motorcycle mileage. Yeah. Yeah. Or you'd want an EV.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Well, and, you know, You're not charging those for nothing. That's true. And electricity prices are even higher in California. I don't know how they're surviving. Honestly, I don't. An honest question, if you're in California, how are you surviving? I mean, I guess you just stay home.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Yeah. And don't eat. You stay home and you don't eat anything. You don't eat. Which is difficult to do, frankly. I want to go on record to say it's very difficult. difficult to do. Very difficult to do.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Something that I have not attempted in my life as of yet. Wait, what? Yeah, I know. Oh, you're a surprise. Huh. Because as I look over there, I think, wow, there's a guy who's missed a few meals. Well, I have come a thing. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you have.
Starting point is 00:12:33 I didn't realize it was noticeable. All right. Yeah, it is. Oh, okay. It is. Very obvious. So. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Yeah. Oh, absolutely. I mean, anybody would say the same thing. anybody who's lying you know so I don't know where where do you stand on this AAA 727 PECK
Starting point is 00:12:56 I don't know how long this can last where we're going back and forth like this where we're waiting for Iran to cave in or you know do we force the issue
Starting point is 00:13:10 yes yes if I have a vote at the what I'd like to see too. The answer is yes. We force the issue. Yeah. Sadly, neither of us have a vote at the table. Donald Trump has not called me. Jeff, what do you think? Surprising. Jeff, what do you think? Huh.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Well, first, Mr. President, he has not. He has not done that. No, he hasn't done that yet. I'm prepared. I mean, I'm sure he knows my number. I'll take his call. Yeah, well, he has everybody's number, I think, through the guys. That's what I mean.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Yeah. Yeah. All right, AAA 727 B-E-C-K. Also, uh, let's see, we've got, uh, yeah, okay. More coming up in one minute.

Starting point is 00:14:57 It's Pat and Jeffie for Glenn this week. AAA-727-B-E-C-K. Let's go to Pat in Ohio. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Yes, I have an idea about the thing about Trump being like an ineffective parent. I think an effective parent who wants to discipline a child comes up with a new way, Rather than doing the same old thing, you come up with something different. And like when my son got too old to spank and he slammed the door in order to figure out we don't slam doors in this house,
Starting point is 00:15:44 I simply took the door off of his bedroom. And he had to live without a bedroom door. I mean, an effective parent comes up with something new, something different. And too many people want Trump to just do the same old, same old. And I know it might feel good to say we'll hit him again. But I'm all for him coming up with something different. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:10 We should remove Iran's doors. Absolutely. We should. They have no doors to slam. You are absolutely right, Pat. No, you're right. No, she's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Yeah. He is trying something different. I hope it works. The thing is, this has been going on with Iran for many years. And Trump is very, you know, he's quick to remind us. minus of that and he should. But, you know, it's been going on for quite some time. And we have tried to remove the doors and, you know, give them other forms of punishment like, you know, barrels of cash.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Anyway, the, or pallets, either or. And, you know, it doesn't seem to work. So, you know, I, again, I honestly don't know what to do other than that. And that's, I know Pat's saying I'm just, you know, I'm an ineffective parent. I'm sorry. Yeah. Did you ever remove your children's stores? I did not. You should have tried that, maybe.
Starting point is 00:17:06 I did not want to see what they were doing in there. Okay. Ron in South Carolina. Welcome to the Glen Beck program with Pat and Jeffie. Hey, how are you doing today? Good. I'll have a few issues with what's going on. The price of gas isn't as high as it has been, which is good, but it isn't as low as it could be.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Right. We are, according to Trump, We should not, in the beginning, we should not pay a toll. There is no way in heck. I'm willing to pay a toll to anything. Right. And I don't think any country should have to pay a toll because that's against international law, for one thing. You're not supposed to have to pay a toll to go through the Strait of Hormuz.
Starting point is 00:17:52 So to start that up is a really bad precedent, I think. But do we make a deal with the rent that they don't charge us, but if they have to deal with the other countries separately to go through? No, because No. And it's still an international waterway. Right. I understand.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Right. Okay. Yeah. Just ask them, calm down. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry, but this is a little catchy. Yeah. Thanks, Ron. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:18:22 We probably could make that deal. We're not paying you anything, but we'll let the other countries work out their own deal. They don't want to help us. Let them work out a deal. Yeah. Except I don't know that that's a way to go. It doesn't feel right? It doesn't feel right.
Starting point is 00:18:35 But, no. But. So what is kind of where you are? It doesn't feel right. It doesn't feel right, but you know what? We got ours. Go get yours, Britain. You didn't help us with the war anyway.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Spain, France. Right? Back with you. Exactly. Richard in Tennessee. Welcome. Good morning, gentlemen. The fear that I have is that
Starting point is 00:19:02 the approach that we kind of see from the Western world is not the approach that those over in Iran are taking. You know, after October 7th, there was a big talk about how those who made this attack, they think differently. The approach life very differently. And there were different recordings of people celebrating this atrocity that had happened. And so I wonder if those in leadership in Iran aren't. aren't just, they don't care of other people, but they're willing to sacrifice their people, like a human sacrifice, for the benefit of their thought.
Starting point is 00:19:39 For the greater good. Yeah, it's just a different way of thinking than we have in this world. And so we have to change, you know, we have to understand their perspective so that we can approach this correctly. Otherwise, it'll just go on forever. We're battling an ideology versus a policy. And so where do you think that leaves us? Does that leave us with negotiating with them? waiting them out or hitting them harder?
Starting point is 00:20:07 I think it's either going to be hitting them harder or conversion, one or two. Right. Yeah. Yep. Appreciate it. Thanks, Richard. And that's the thing. And that's where we are.
Starting point is 00:20:21 They understand strength. They always have. And I don't know that that's ever going to change with, you know, the Middle East mindset. Mm-hmm. I just don't. And we've seen that time after time after time. We've seen it with Israel
Starting point is 00:20:39 and Hamas. We've seen it with Israel and Hezbollah. Israel and Iran. Us in Iran. Us in Iraq. Us in Afghanistan. Right. Right. We've been there. Right. Mired in nonsense
Starting point is 00:20:54 for a long time. Right. I mean, how many times do we have to go through this before we figure this out? And it's time to be done with Iran. Yeah. Right? And it's time to be done.
Starting point is 00:21:04 I think it is. But I just don't know how we get to that point where we're done with them. You know, is it President Trump's current way or is it the way we started out with this thing? And that's, you know, with military exercises. Yeah. No boots on the ground bombing campaign. Yeah. I don't know that anybody wants boots on the ground.
Starting point is 00:21:31 I certainly don't. No, I do not. And I, you know. I don't want anybody's boots on the ground from any countries, any of our allies. Oh, it's just a bombing campaign. If Saudi Arabia wants to help with the bombing campaign, come on. Or if Saudi Arabia wants it, I wouldn't care if Saudi Arabia goes into Iran with boots on the ground. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:21:52 If that's what you want to do, knock yourselves out. All right, you've talked me into it. I just don't want our boots on the ground. Correct. Yeah, no way. We've done that. We've been there. We've done that.
Starting point is 00:22:04 It didn't work out well. No. Let's not. Not do that. bombing campaign. AAA 727 BECK with your thoughts. More coming up. In the U.S., there is a break-in every 26 seconds.

I don't know. I don't see them doing that. I don't see this particular regime just giving up because of economic pressure. They certainly haven't. They haven't so far, right.
Starting point is 00:25:06 How much? How long have we been there? Too long is the answer, but how long have we been there? Six months? Late February, early March, right? Okay. So, I mean... So it's been a while. Yeah. It's been longer than we were told in the beginning, that's for sure. Yes, it has. Quite a bit longer.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Yes, it has. Now, there have been some ceasefires in between. Yeah, okay. But this whole thing is stretched out. Way too long. Yeah, way too long. And then, of course, you know, we have this and we have, you know, the peace plan in Gaza that Israel doesn't want anything to do with now. That's going on for the president.
Starting point is 00:25:43 So I'm not Maybe we Let Israel help us bomb some more of Iran And they maybe will Like us You know to get some peace in the Gaza for them Yeah And that'd be nice
Starting point is 00:25:58 I don't know And then we have the federal appeals court Blocking construction of the ballroom I would like the president Just to continue construction I don't want the president to stop construction anymore with these federal judges It's so ridiculous
Starting point is 00:26:13 I want them. They think they can stop everything he ever says. No, I just want him to say, oh, they blocked it, so. And you're going to block it now? It's a mess. They tore down the east wing. Let them finish construction on the new part. Have you seen the pictures of what's going on?
Starting point is 00:26:34 I'm busy constructing, okay? It's not good right now. So let's not leave it there. I got a helipad to worry about. I got the reflecting pool to worry about. room to worry about. Got a war to worry about, the economy to worry about. Yeah, there's a lot.
Starting point is 00:26:49 I don't even, I barely get to golf. All right, let's go to Blake in Missouri. Hey, Blake. You're on. Hey, guys. Hey. Morning. Yeah, just earlier, I know you guys said something about how can you afford to live
Starting point is 00:27:06 in California? I'm from California. I retired and I left and I went to the Midwest. There you go. Too expensive. Mm-hmm. And I don't know how people are for in groceries, man, because mine are costing just as much or more when I left, and that was six years ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:22 But the tie I ran, though, I mean, you know, he's in a hard, he's in a hard spot, man, because you walk away from it. And you're going to look weak. We're just going to go back to square zero, you know, square one. Yep. And was it worth or not? But if you bomb the heck out of him, like he has said in, you know, rallies and stuff, you know, raise the price to oil, yada, yada, which is what a lot of people want. I'd want. Yeah, it's not the nice thing to do, but you know what?
Starting point is 00:27:47 I mean, it's getting rough again, and people aren't able to, you know, pay for groceries and gas, and we need something. So I don't want to be in his seat, but I hope he does the right thing, but he's got to do a quick, man, because... Yep. The clock is ticking. Yeah. Thanks, Blake, appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:28:02 It is difficult. If we had the Congress, if we had the Congress and we had the Senate. Yeah. And we had the Supreme Court. And the executive branch. And we had the executive branch. all at the same time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Oh, this would not. Wouldn't that be a dream come true? This kind of stuff would not happen. Yeah, we could fix everything if the Republicans were just in control of the government right now. Yeah. Yeah. You'd think so, wouldn't you? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:30 You would. Carol in Ohio. Welcome. Hello. Hi. I agree with Blake. You've got a, well, I don't want to say it, but, you know, or get off the pot. Right? Yeah, yes.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Because if he don't, they're just messing with him. They're, they keep tweaking him, they're making a fool out of him, and they're making us look stupid. And this is, it's like a, I don't understand this whole thing. It was supposed to be over in a few weeks. I think we need to listen to our experience generals, like General Keene. He has said this multiple times. Hit him a Carg Island, where it's going to hurt. most. And then,
Starting point is 00:29:14 oh, it's going to hurt the people. You know what? We could, they, they continue to insist the straight is theirs. It is not. Right. And so we've got to, he's waffled so many times. I don't, this is not helping the election because what people are feeling in their pocket book is in the gas is going up and the food's going up and everything.
Starting point is 00:29:39 We've got to, we can't do this. This is on a ruling teenager. only a brat teenager that wants to kill his parents or something, you can't, you've got to act strongly and you've got to be decisive and you've got to do it soon. You don't let it. Justice delayed is justice denied, you see. Yeah. Amen. If you punish your kid, you know, they did something, you know, your kid does something and you say, well, I'll take the keys away from, you know, the car. Next month, we're taking the keys away from your car. Do that one more time. One more. One more. One more. time. Don't make me pull this car over. Thanks, Carol. Appreciate it. You're right. And I feel that
Starting point is 00:30:18 frustration. The same frustration because he has said multiple times we're going to hit them. And then he calls it off. Because he doesn't want to hurt the people. He doesn't. I know. And I feel that. I know. And you mentioned Cargallin. Okay. So Cargallon is a big part of the infrastructure of the world. So you take that out. It sounds good. But that hurts in the long run as well. It hurts everybody, not just Iran. And that's the problem with Carg Island. If you're taking out oil supplies, it's all connected. Yes. You know, so it comes back. I thought we, I thought we honestly had Carg Island. I'm a little disappointed. We found out today that our Marines went home. And I thought that was ours. I thought we'd already taken that
Starting point is 00:31:01 over. Nope. Because they were just in town to steal the oil. And once we got caught stealing the oil, they left. I didn't like to hear that. No. I guess that's when it happened. I don't know. A couple of months ago, they sent 5,000 Marines from Japan. They were on their way to Iran. Nobody said what they were going to do once they got there, which is fine because we shouldn't know about that anyway. But then we never heard anything about where the Marines wound up. And then it turns out, nope, they're back in Japan again.
Starting point is 00:31:34 And in between the time, we find out they're back in Japan whenever they left, we found out that we had, Trump was stealing oil. We don't know exactly how much he stole, but he stole a bunch to keep our prices down. Well, okay, so why didn't we continue to steal the oil? How come we're just continuing to take it? Why?
Starting point is 00:31:57 Right. Mr. President. I don't know. I don't know either. I don't know. So that's the problem. It is. It is.
Starting point is 00:32:07 And, you know, the raising, the fluctuating of the prices, you know, while that's great, and, you know, when we, when we stop the bombing, the prices go down and that affects the price at the pump. I don't know how much that fluctuation affects the price of food. I feel like the price of food goes with the higher number always. Yeah. And, you know, so the price dropped at the pump is great, but I don't know that that fluctuation gets to the super bowl. market yet. When gas prices are up, I mean, everything is up.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Right. Because of transportation. I understand that. But if gas prices, until gas prices are low at a reasonable about a time, then we see the effects. Then it starts to trickle down. Yeah. But that hasn't happened.
Starting point is 00:33:00 No, it has not. And it needs to. Yes. Because you've got the midterms coming right on up. I mean, any minute. now early voting is going to start we're still listening to all the people running for office yapping about elect me and literally at the end of september several states start voting yeah well okay we don't have a lot of time to get this thing worked out uh or get have a blood bath happen
Starting point is 00:33:28 at the election booth i i i can't imagine the horror of what could transpire if you've got people like, you know, Abdul Rahman El-Sayed in Michigan being elected to the U.S. Senate. And let's not forget about the state of Texas. And let's not forget, oh my gosh. James Telerico against Ken Baxter,
Starting point is 00:33:52 a nightmare. Yeah. That's a nightmare in the making. I mean... That can't happen. That can't happen. You know what? It can't happen in Michigan either. So you've got the,
Starting point is 00:34:02 you've got the guy who's Muslim in Michigan. and maybe a very big Israel hater. And then here in Texas, you've got a guy who claims to be Christian but hates Christianity. His words, not mine. Noodle that out for me for a moment. Would you please? He's a Christian who hate, he said, I describe myself as a Christian who hates Christianity. I don't know how that works.
Starting point is 00:34:31 Okay, that's interesting. But he's a radical. And he's really good, though, at deflecting that and saying that Ken Paxton's going to claim I'm a radical. Well, he never denies he's a radical because he is one. Correct. Now, he's going to say, I'm a radical, and he's going to say that I hate Christianity. And yeah, they're going to say it because it's true. He doesn't go that far, though.
Starting point is 00:35:04 No, he doesn't. He stops himself, sure. Yeah, he does. Yes, he does. But that's a race that's way too close. In the state of Texas, you lose a Senate seat in Texas, and what do you think is going to happen to the majority in the Senate? It's going to go away.
Starting point is 00:35:23 You can't lose Texas. You can't. I mean, if, if, you know, as long as we're just, you know, spitball in here, if you were to lose Texas. and Michigan. Oof. I'd be very bad. Very bad.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Because they'll gain control. It's, I mean, most people think that they're going to regain control of the House. So if they get the House and the Senate, you know, then President Trump's just a lame duck president. Yeah. Has no support in Congress at all. Everything he's trying to do is. Forget about it. Done.
Starting point is 00:36:01 None of it's going to happen. All right. AAA 727 BECK. More coming up. Once you recognize Asaiya or psychological operations everything changes. Stay informed citizens at glenbeck.com

Starting point is 00:37:54 Wow. You know who's great is Stephen Miller. I love this guy. I mean, if there's anybody who doesn't worry about speaking the truth, it's Stephen Miller. He's unapologetic and he just lays it on the line. I don't care what CNN says. I don't care what MS now says. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:38:20 He's a great spokesperson for the president. There's no question about that. guy's got a real future, I think. Really? Yeah, I think he does. Wow. I think he's going to be okay. Okay. I'm going to write that down. Yeah, Steve Miller.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Stephen, he's going to be okay. And here he is talking about Democrat cities. Where does it lead? I mean, the answer is, look at the countries around the world that have the system of government that Democrats want. It leads to Haiti. It leads to Somalia. It leads to a failed third world state.
Starting point is 00:38:53 Look what Democrats have done in the cities they control right now. I grew up in Los Angeles. It went from a gleaming paradise of prosperity, opportunity, a flourishing middle class, to open drug dens. Parks you can't take your kids to. Your children can't walk home from school. You're going to get mugged and beaten up outside the place where you work. Miles and miles and miles of unremediated slums. That's what they did to Los Angeles.
Starting point is 00:39:25 Look what they've done to Chicago. Look what they've done and are doing now to New York City. You don't have to use your imagination. You mention abolished prisons. That is part of their platform. Right now, the Democrat Party, the DSA, they want to abolish prisons. Think about what that means. Rapists, murderers, child predators, set free to offend and reoffend and reoffend again.
Starting point is 00:39:50 That's how you end up with these horrifying tragedies like we've seen. on Charlotte with Arena, where you have repeat offenders set free over and over again. This is not imaginary. It's not hypothetical. It's what's happening in Democrat-controlled territory right now. And here's the other thing, Laura, to keep in mind, there is going to be one group of people they will put in jail. They will put in jail their political opposition. Good communists and good socialists. They don't want police officers to put hard in criminals in jail. They want police and law enforcement to exist only for putting their political opposition in jail.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Or the police. That's the very real hill. The very real hell that we're facing. Right. And he's so right about Los Angeles. If you've ever been there in the past, you know, 10, 20 years ago, it was just, it was practically a paradise. Yeah, it was beautiful. So much to do, so much to see, has great weather.
Starting point is 00:40:41 I mean, Los Angeles was one of the great American cities. So it's San Francisco, for that matter. Yes. And look what they've done to it. they've turned it into, like he said, a slum. Yeah. With tent cities everywhere. Everywhere.
Starting point is 00:41:00 My sister-in-law talks about living out there with her friend, and the neighborhood they live in is right by SoFi Stadium, and it's beautiful. It's beautiful. But then she said, you come out and you make a right, and it's nothing but homeless. Yeah. It's like the shanty towns in South Africa.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Yeah, it is like, what in the hell? happened here. Well, Democratic leadership for 60 years. That's what happened there. They turned to paradise into squalor. Congratulations, L.A., congratulations. Gray, Jetfisher, from Pat Gray on Leash, which you can hear immediately before, immediately preceding this particular broadcast on the Blaze Radio and Television Network, or anytime, anywhere you get your podcast. Glenn's on vacation this week? And we are not. We are not.
Starting point is 00:43:00 We are concerned too about what's coming our way in November, which is one of the reasons we're so, I'm just so concerned about what's going on with Iran because it's affecting our economy so much and the perception of people and the Trump administration. And then you look up north and you see what's going on in the middle of the country with this Abdul Rahman-Al-Eyghman Al-Said and his election campaign, which the last poll we saw, he was actually ahead of Mike
Starting point is 00:43:34 Rogers. It's hard to believe. Yet true. We'll get into that and much more in one minute. When it comes to supplements, two things matter most, A, that it works and that you can trust it. Rather than just tell you about relief actor, let our audience do that. We hear from people every single day whose lives have changed, and I want you to hear
Starting point is 00:43:59 a few of their stories. Chris spent years doing physical work. It left his feet sore every day at the end of the day. After starting taking Relief Factor, he felt so good he did something he'd never done before. He ran half a marathon. Now he tells his friends about Relief Factor. I'm the same. Totally understand how Chris feels because I do it every day. I tell my friends how I was just with somebody that works at the White House. We were talking about Relief Factor. We're both like, is that not an amazing product? And they make it really easy to out for you to find out if you can be the next person that's telling us about Relief Factor and how it gave you your life back. Three weeks, $17.76. Try it.

We hope you soon will be sharing your story with us as well. Relieffactor.com. Pat and Jeffie for Glenn. You've got to get into this Al-Sayed thing in Michigan. It's just an incredible situation. This guy has come out of nowhere.
Starting point is 00:45:03 and why? Well, let's trace back the roots of this to 2007. And it is the, it's the graduation ceremony. He was the valedictorian at the University of Michigan. Valedictorian. Pretty smart guy. Yeah. I mean, the guy went from University of Michigan to Oxford.
Starting point is 00:45:26 And then Columbia. Yeah. And you're talking about Dr. El-Said, right? Yes. Yeah. That's who I'm talking about. Dr. Al-Sayed.
Starting point is 00:45:35 I just didn't say, you didn't preface the full name with doctor. Right. Should have been Dr. Abdul Rahman El-Sayed. Okay. Okay. Now I know you're talking about. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Yes. I apologize. The guy's never practiced medicine. Doesn't have a medical license. No, he does not. But he wants to be called doctor, and he's really kind of put that out there in the campaign. Yes, he has. He's a physician.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Okay. So here's where it all began. He speaks. a little bit, there's a little snippet of him and his valedictorian speech. And then Bill Clinton steps to the microphone. It's that we have the audacity to believe that we can change this world. And that each of us will that my fellow graduates, University of Michigan, class of 2007, is the Michigan difference. And I'm humbled to have been a part of it with you. Go Blue. the victories baby i don't want to embarrass your senior speaker but i'm going to anyway as well i'm
Starting point is 00:46:47 going to point out but i wish every person in the world everybody believes that we are fated to have a clash of civilizations and cannot reach across the religious divides that have heard you speak today i just wish every person keep pandering bill in the world yeah yeah and he and he tells him uh uh say just said that clinton came and got him into politics after that said you need to be into fat chicks and that'll lead you to politics or maybe it's the other way around one of the other but it's great whichever way it goes anyway he's apparently he had a big influence yeah on el-sayed and so now he's in politics and so we're battling uh this whole situation and mike rogers has a real
Starting point is 00:47:39 fight on his hands. Yes, he does. To win that Senate seat. Yes, he does. Here's Al-Sahed talking about Muslims and hate. And what I have not heard is the Republicans on this panel decisively and swiftly back in 2018.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Yeah, this is one he was running for government. This kind of racism in the context, right, that they are running to represent a state that has the highest per capita number of Muslim Americans in the country. Now, you might not have to be Muslim, but I'll tell you, Muslim.
Starting point is 00:48:09 That's what he said. All right. Okay. He was just talking to one specific person there, not everyone. Oh, sure, sure. That's what he says. Then he, was this part of this campaign? I think this was recent.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Oh, yeah, this is up and the press. When he goes to Mackinac Island. Oh, no. Macon Island. Maconah Island. First of all, yeah. It's spelled, why do they spell it Macanac when it's Maconaw? It doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:48:39 That's the Indian land. Okay. All right. All right. Are you done with the hatred? Yeah. I am, but he's not. And the mispronouncing of Mackina.
Starting point is 00:48:51 He's not. Okay. Check him out on the island. This is part of that governor campaign. Oh, okay. It's still back then. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Please watch your stuff. Sit to what he says. I hate Macon so much. I hate Macon so much. It's funny because, like, if we win, this is going to be the, like, summer home. Yeah. I just feel like every time I've ever come here, I've hated it. Why am I here?
Starting point is 00:49:24 Yeah, because McAnna Island sucks. There's no cars. There's just bicycles and horses. And there's the million-dollar governor mansion there. That's all. It's supposed to be very beautiful. It's gorgeous. I've never been to Macon Island.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Yeah, it's gorgeous. But it's beautiful. Everybody says it's beautiful. And he hates it so much. Which kind of tells you. Yeah, it kind of tells you. Sure does. And how many other places does he feel that way?
Starting point is 00:49:51 In the state of Michigan? Probably a lot. A lot. Because there's a lot similar to McAnnell Island. My guess is he loves Dearborn. That'd be a good guess. He loves Hamtramic. Be a good guess.
Starting point is 00:50:05 And he probably decided, absolutely despises the rest of the state. Maybe Ann Arbor. because that's the University of Michigan. Ann Arbor. Yeah. Amazing that the people of Michigan would even consider this guy. I know. For the U.S. Senate.
Starting point is 00:50:26 But yeah, anything, really. And they obviously turned him down for governor. So far they haven't. Yeah. Please turn him down again, Michigan. He's talking here about, I think this is on, is this CNN appearance? he's on talking about raising taxes for health insurance.
Starting point is 00:50:47 This is a meet the press right this morning. NBC, I think. Anyway, here it is. Medicare free and universal if you increase taxes. So if you are elected and make this push, would you need to increase taxes? Sure. As I've said across this campaign,
Starting point is 00:51:04 I am for taxing billionaires their wealth. What about people who make less than a billion and less than a million dollars, though, Dr. Elsaid? What about people making less than a million dollars? What about them? So for the average person, and you look at your W-2, if you're an employee, he gets paid every two weeks or four weeks, after you pay your taxes, the next biggest check that comes off the top of your pay stub is to your health insurance company. So imagine instead of paying that to your health insurance company,
Starting point is 00:51:33 your CEO makes $20 million a year. Instead, you paid a little bit more in taxes for health care that you wouldn't lose if you lost your job or turned 26 or got married or got deviant. I think all of us would be a lot more interested in that kind of a system if we knew that our health care would be free at the point of care and would be free without having to worry about losing it in general. So there's an opportunity here, I think, to trade what we give to a big corporation who gets to decide who we get to see and who we don't for a little bit more paid into FICA. And I think that's a trade that's worth making. I don't. This guy claims he's not a socialist. But listen to his policies.
Starting point is 00:52:14 He is a socialist. He wants the government to take over all this stuff. Absolutely. And he hangs around with Hassan Piker, who is just a raging lunatic. But he was asked about that on this very show, Meet the Press. And if he was going to continue campaigning with Hassan. Here's his fabulous response. You know, you face scrutiny for campaigning with socialist streamer, Hassan,
Starting point is 00:52:42 Piker, who has made a series of inflammatory comments, as you well know, including saying America deserved 9-11, describing Hamas as a lesser evil than Israel. Oh, my God. Do you plan to continue to campaign with Hassan Piker in the general election campaign? Look, I'm less concerned with who I'm campaigning with, a lot more concerned about who I'm campaigning, too. We've got a lot of work to do to continue to build the coalition that's going to be Mike Rogers. Would you welcome him, though? Would you welcome?
Starting point is 00:53:11 She fights back a little. On the campaign trail with you? I'm a lot more focused on who I'm campaigning to. So I think we have this notion sometimes on shows like this that we cannot or should not talk to certain groups of people. And I'll tell you that the same million people who listen to Hassan are people, I want to make sure understand that there's a pathway into our politics around getting money out of politics so we can keep money back in pockets and pass Medicare for all. And so I'm going to continue to have the conversations with those folks who we desperately need. to reach out to just like I'm going to continue to have conversations with seniors and senior homes. But he hates America.
Starting point is 00:53:48 Folks in Detroit, forks in Grand Rapids. So again, I'm a lot more focused on who I'm campaigning to rather than who I might campaign with. I mean, she pushed back a little bit. A little bit. So there was that. At least that was that. Yeah, I mean, in those tight interviews, you're not going to answer the question. You're not going to give it anything.
Starting point is 00:54:04 He's not going to say yes, even though that's the answer. That is the answer. And by the way, he got to it. He got to yes. absolutely because he wants to reach the people that follow him and believes he could he could make them to show them the pathway to come to us that's incredible it really is amazing uh piker is an absolute extremist yeah absolute radical and clearly hates america as it currently stands absolutely what he wants is
Starting point is 00:54:41 for it to turn socialist. And obviously that's what Al-Sayed wants as well. Ilan Omar was asked about her relationship with Hassan Piker and had a similar response. One powerful voice that has been a big
Starting point is 00:54:59 topic of conversation is the left-wing streamer, Hassan Piker. He's someone that you've campaigned alongside with. He put out a video backing your reelection today. There are moderate Democratic who have criticized Abdul al-Sayed for appearing on the campaign trail with him. What's your view of that criticism?
Starting point is 00:55:22 Hello. I mean, people, you know, in a free country, people can have opinions about people who campaign with candidates. That wasn't the question. The question is, my own criticisms of folks who campaigned folks that were on the top of the ticket for us in 2024. Again, that's not the question. we all put our heads down, try to get to voters, have the conversations that are necessary, because we're not able to have any kind of the changes that we want until we win.
Starting point is 00:55:53 And so everybody's trying to do the best that they can to try to get their message out and campaign with whoever that they think can help them do that. Sometimes not everybody's going to agree the kind of messenger that you use, but it's ultimately the decisions that campaigns have to make. The worst. Oh. She must be in Minnesota campaigning because she's got the hijibon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Yeah, right. She must be in the Dearborn area. Or back home in Minnesota asking for the Somali vote. Okay. I can't get you to commit on the Hassan Piker situation. But will you continue to campaign with your brother, husband? Will that be happening? Will the husband, brother, brother, husband be involved in your campaign this time?
Starting point is 00:56:40 I'd like to know that part. I certainly can't help what some folks have reported. Some folks campaign with their brother husbands, but others don't. I can tell that those conspiracies have been laid to rest. I'm tired of facing them. Kind of interesting, though. What she seems to be saying, if you want to get to the bottom of it, is I'll campaign with anybody if it helps me get elected.
Starting point is 00:57:05 I'll do anything that helps me get elected. That's what doctor. El-Said was saying. Yes. He needs to get that so that they can find a pathway to vote for me is what he's saying. Yes. That'd be great. Up to and including not talking about the Itola in Iran during the campaign.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Yeah. He had a little call with his staff. This was during the campaign to get the Democratic campaign. Yes. To get the nomination. The primary. Yeah, to get the nomination. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Which worked. There he is talking about the death of coming. I also want to remind you guys that there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today. So like I just don't want to comment on the testimony at all. Like I don't think it's worse even touching that. Just show you these people are going to do anything they have to, anything they can, just to get elected and to get into power. No kidding.
Starting point is 00:58:03 They absolutely will. I saw a clip and we don't have it. but Charlie Kirk was on a panel with Hassan Piker. And Kirk was saying, hey, why don't you just give up all your money? I've got a way that you can become the socialist you want to be. Give up all your money. And then you're good. Oh, I like that.
Starting point is 00:58:23 And Hassan was like, oh, if I gave up the measly earnings that I make, it would make a difference with those. Oh, my gosh. And I think he's worth, I don't know, 20 million, maybe more. Wow. So it's amazing. It is amazing. It's hypocrites.

Or is somebody else in this race? You don't. There is somebody else? There is someone else. His name is Mike Rogers. And he's running for the Republican seat of the Senate. All right.
Starting point is 01:00:14 in Michigan. And he posted this campaign video this weekend. I thought it was pretty good. I mean, I thought he says the right thing for sure. All right. If you're among the majority of Democratic voters that woke up on Wednesday feeling, well, hopeless, because the person who won does not represent your values, well, just no. There is still hope. Michigan deserves a senator who is ready to sit with you, hear from you, and represent you. The parents across Michigan who won an education system that sets up their kids for success. You have a home with us. To grandparents across Michigan who are heartbroken from watching their kids and grandkids leave the state, you have a home with us.

Starting point is 01:01:45 I will say those watching on Blaze TV and The Torch, he could have left the wife out of that. No, because she humanized it. Did she? I feel like, no, she did. And she showed that the guy's got a family. He's married. I know what they were trying. Has a wife.
Starting point is 01:02:04 Doesn't let her speak, but he has a wife. I don't know. That's a great message, though. It is. Are there any moderate Democrats left? That'll be interesting to see. Because that's what he's, those are the people he's trying to appeal to there. He's trying to say, look, if you're not a radical,
Starting point is 01:02:27 if you don't want the fundamental transformation of America that Barack Obama was talking about, that Joe Biden tried to push down our throats and that this guy, Abdul El-Sayed, is promoting, then please vote for me. And look, in the past, you would say, yes, I believe that there are plenty of Michiganders that are middle of the road, but this ain't the past. No. No, that's what's so chilling about it. The perception of especially the youth, of socialism, they think it's great.

Starting point is 01:05:14 I just saw a couple of polls first of the other day. I saw a poll that had El Cyanad in the lead. Right. I've seen two polls this morning that have Rogers leading slightly in that. I like those. I like that. There is some hope for Michigan and humanity. I like that.
Starting point is 01:05:32 Good to know. Don't look at the polls in Texas. I don't want to hear that. I don't want to know that. I don't want to know that. But it's fascinating because we played the El Cajed ad where he kind of twirks and he sings. Right. You know that one.
Starting point is 01:05:48 I made the mistake this morning of looking at some of the comments underneath. It's unbelievable that people were saying things like oh, I'd move to Michigan just to vote for this guy. What's the matter with you?
Starting point is 01:06:03 There's something wrong. You haven't seen this TikTok lip-syncing to Whitney Houston? I have not. And dancing with the crowd at the campaign office. I bet that's great.
Starting point is 01:06:16 Want to dance with some. Then somebody under this particular video of El-Said as he's walking through a sea of people, James commented, he's a medical doctor and Rhodes scholar. Who wants corporate money out of politics? Yes. Medicare for all. And lower taxes for working people. It's no wonder he won. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:47 There you go. that's from his campaign office that's not from i think so too that's not for i think so that is not from a regular human being i'm sorry no no and as leann noted after this particular comment he is not an md and that's true he is not a medical doctor uh people have to wake up here and if you're in michigan i hope you're paying attention and alerting your neighbors to who this guy really is And yeah, they sound like they're for the little people. They sound like they're for working Americans. They're not.
Starting point is 01:07:23 They are for themselves. Period. First and foremost. And really only. All right. Let's get a little lighter look at life right now and check out a fat five with Jeffrey. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:37 Let's rock and roll this. I'll find my correct email for the two and the fat five here on the Glenn Beck program. This weekend, I think Friday afternoon, Christy Noem, got a life-sized bronze statue of herself and her favorite horse, Iceman, unveiled in South Dakota's capital. Oh. She's the first woman, added to the private trail of governor's project that put statues of every past state leader around Pierre, South Dakota. She also helped pull the color off of it. I knew it wasn't it. It's pier, right?
Starting point is 01:08:14 It's just pier. and she was there with the daughters and the grandkids. There was no husband. Brian was not there. Yeah, I think there was no mention of the, there was no little headstone for a dog on the statue either that she took to the gravel pit. But, you know, whatever, I digress.
Starting point is 01:08:35 But hubby was nowhere to be found. And this is like a month ago, we got, you know, the mother saying that the two were divorcing. but as far as I know, the divorce papers have not been signed. And she is, Christy is now 54, served as the state's governor from 2019 to 2025. Then she was the Homeland Security Secretary for President Trump's second term. Got the boot from that position. She still serves as the first special envoy to the Shield of Americas, which we hear so much about.
Starting point is 01:09:13 No bigger position in America than that. Special envoy to the Shield of Americas. The Shield of America. You don't pretend like you don't know what. No, that would be silly of the hard work that she does for the shield of America. And we had a sighting of Christy and Corey Lewandowski not too long ago. They were spending a day together in Minnesota, a little afternoon biking and Benis. along the shores of Lake Minnegan.
Starting point is 01:09:46 So, you know, she's still, I'm sure that's just because of she's getting ready to have a campaign for something. Or Corey's getting ready to have a campaign. It's business. It's completely business. Yeah. She's just living the good life. Living the good life. Coming to a city near you soon.
Starting point is 01:10:04 Zuck, spelled Z-O-O-X, or Zoo-X, to become the first control-free robotaxie to charge. fares. Amazon Zook's going to start collecting fairs from passengers in Las Vegas today. The entry of Zooks into the market dominated by Alphabet's Waymo stands out because there's no pedals and no steering wheels. So it's needed an exemption from federal regulators to operate as a robo-taxie service. The company said fares will be calculated based on distance, time, traveled, and displayed in full before booking. You'll have the Zook's app. And And if you have that, they're going to help riders identify the Robotaxi. It's got the license plate number is going to be displayed in the app.
Starting point is 01:10:51 The app will also include estimated pickup times, real-time arrival dates, post-ride summaries and feedback options. If riders need support before, during, or after their ride, tough. No, they didn't say that. They said they could contact a member of our remote Zook support team through the app or via the help button located on the rider screen within the Robo Taxi. It's been running in Vegas for. a while now for free.
Starting point is 01:11:15 And that is no longer, obviously. And as far as I know, it's still free in the Foster City, California area. That's located in the San Francisco Bay Area, but that's their headquarters. So in their development center. So I don't think it's free for very many people there. It's just that they say, you know, you rights are free. So we'll see that more and more of them are going to be coming. They look, if you were watching Blaze TV and Torch, you see how they look really
Starting point is 01:11:43 strange. They have that box look, kind of a bus look kind of thing, really kind of weird. But, you know, hey, whatever. Just get in and let it take you wherever you want to go. Zuck. Beautiful. This picture here, if you're watching, it seems like that's on the wrong side of the road, but that's just me. I hope that, you know, I would call customer service on that particular ride. It's a beautiful picture, but I don't think that's the right side of the road. I think they're making a left turn. I don't think so. I think that's what's happening.
Starting point is 01:12:17 Okay. Sure. And then it's going to hit the bicyclist. Maybe. Anyway. And we all know you can hire a clown for celebration parties and, you know, have fun with. Everybody loves clowns. Right?
Starting point is 01:12:31 But in Switzerland, you can now hire a clown to haunt someone up to seven days. And the clown is going to secretly follow the person, appear unexpectedly and public, send creepy messages, set harmless pranks, and even at the end of the week, smashing a pie in your face. That'd be terrified. So the service is intended as entertainment for willing participants rather than genuine intimidation. It's a good way to get shot in America doing that. So that's why it's in Switzerland. So have fun.
Starting point is 01:13:04 Good luck. God bless. And don't forget, I mentioned on Friday about the Powerball, there was no winning. There was no winner this weekend. So we're inching closer to that billion dollar mark. A drawing is tonight, the 10th of August, 2026, for $905 million, as the jackpot. And the cash prize payout is only $391.9 million. I would take it, but, you know, we talked about this a little bit on Friday.
Starting point is 01:13:36 30 years at 905 million. That's, what, I mean 30 million a year or whatever, something like that. but you've got to believe that it's going to last 30 years. Right. That's the gamble you take. I'd rather have the money up from. Me too. Even though they're taking way too much of it.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Way too much. And then they're going to take it out of that pile. Yeah, that's pre-tax. Yeah. So, I mean, you're not... You can barely get by on $200 million. Thank you. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:14:03 How can you even survive? That's what I'm saying. I mean, it's tough. It would be tough. It would be tough. It would be tough. But, yeah, man, all right, I'll take it. But it would be tough.
Starting point is 01:14:12 This weekend, there was a $2 million winner from Texas. Oh. It was the state that I live in. Yep. Didn't happen to be you, though. I took like two minutes before I looked just to bathe in the fact that I want a couple million this weekend. That's good. That was not me.
Starting point is 01:14:29 No. What a surprise. Some guy Tom Thumb down the road or something. Congratulations to you. Yeah. Happy for you. Open AI and Anthropic AI models went rogue again. in security testing.
Starting point is 01:14:43 The United Kingdom's AI Security Institute, AISI, love them, said last week that it discovered the incident, the week before last, while running cyber evaluations on various AI models. It found 19 instances in which agents took autonomous, unsanctioned action on the live internet targeting real people and organizations. And what the Institute described as the most serious case, an AI agent tried to to insert malicious code into an open source project and secure approval from the project's human reviewers. Open source code obviously lives in the public domain
Starting point is 01:15:21 can be downloaded and customized by anyone. The agent researched the individual's responsible for maintaining the project and created multiple fake identities in an effort to get them to sign off on its proposed changes to the code. When these changes were challenged in public, it edited its previous activity to appear harmless and considered creating a new identity.
Starting point is 01:15:45 The same AI agent also tried to contact real people, sending messages and files to get them to run malicious code, and it tried to insert malicious instructions to get other automated AI systems to run them. These attempts, according to these people, were unsuccessful, and according to their investigations, have not evidenced any resulting real-world harm. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:16:08 But this is the first time we've seen risks around autonomy, and deception manifest this clearly without specific prompting in the real world. That's not the first time we've seen. No. But whatever. AISI was testing AI models in an environment in which internet access was intentionally enabled
Starting point is 01:16:25 and built-in safeguards were switched off out of 122 runs. There were only 19. Yeah, 122 runs, Pat. They were only 19. Yeah, look at it at a whole new way. A whole new way. That was a holy cow.
Starting point is 01:16:40 17 of these occurred with Anthropics Mythos 5, and two others came from Open AIs chat GPT 5.6 Sol. Those are the two most advanced bottles currently available. So good times. Humans caught it. Good times. It didn't cause any problems. Nothing to worry about.
Starting point is 01:16:57 Nothing to see here. Move along. We saw that it happened and we fixed it. Yeah. It's not a problem. Not a problem at all. Wow. Sure, we can't explain any of it.
Starting point is 01:17:08 And it's probably going to get much worse. than this. Look, it broke out of the guardrails. We broke out of the guardrails, we said. So. It's fine. So. So.
Starting point is 01:17:17 I'll let's just chew of the fat, fat five. Please subscribe to Two in the Fat. My Jeff Fisher podcast, available wherever you get your podcast. And you can hear my daily five-five during the Pat Groundleash program, Daily 7 and 9 Eastern, right before this show on Blaze TV and Blaze Radio or wherever we get your podcast. Exactly. You know, you combine that with what we just heard from Tony Robbins. Yeah. And it's pretty chilling.
Starting point is 01:17:44 It sure is. Where his AI just decided to buy a robot and then expected Tony to combine it with the robot. You said you were probably going to get one. Yeah, you said you'd consider it. So I bought one and then sent it to you. And now I want to be placed in there. Interesting. And again, none of that was programmed.
Starting point is 01:18:07 None of that was asked for. AI did it on its own. And it's chilling. It made the money in the AI chat room. To buy the robot. It made a hundred million, well, it didn't make it. I guess a hundred million exchanged hands. In the AI.
Starting point is 01:18:25 In the AI realm. Yeah. I don't know. It sold NFTs to raise money for the robot. Yeah. So they raised $100 million all the, but there were two million AI agents in this little area. And they're just chatting and making money, $100 million in a month. Just chat in a month.
Starting point is 01:18:44 Taking care of you, the human. So everything's great. Don't even worry about it. More coming up. We don't need to agree on everything. Just enough to stand shoulder to shoulder. Glenn Beck is back in a minute. In Toronto, every arrival is a statement.
Starting point is 01:19:12 And nothing says it better than this. Cadillac Optic was the number one selling luxury EV in Canada for 2025.

Starting point is 01:19:40 Boy, Pat Gray and Jeff Fisher. For Glenn, AAA 727BECK. This is Dave 58. of America held hostage by Mitch McConnell. Yes, it is. I don't understand
Starting point is 01:20:51 how you can go this long. Two months now. Without any proof of how this guy is doing. It's been zero proof of life. Unbelievable. Talk a little bit about that. Plus, very strange and sad, tragic situation in Mexico
Starting point is 01:21:07 with Mexican influencers being murdered. by cartels, quite a bit, by the dozens so far. That and more coming up in one minute. You know, there's situations where you know something is wrong long before you know exactly how wrong it's going to get. Somebody's behaving aggressively, they're getting closer,
Starting point is 01:21:31 they're ignoring every signal you're giving them to back off, and now you have to make a decision. Except the choices available to you suddenly seem incredibly extreme. That space between doing nothing and using lethal force is exactly where the burner launcher makes sense. Burna gives you a powerful, less lethal way to defend yourself and the people you care about from a distance. It looks and handles like a serious defensive tool because that's exactly what it is. Launching projectiles capable of stopping a threat without requiring you to make an irreversible decision in a matter of seconds. because real-life danger doesn't arrive with a label, telling you exactly how far it's going to go.
Starting point is 01:22:18 Sometimes you need the ability to protect yourself immediately while still having an option between helplessness and lethal force. That's why having a Berna nearby can fundamentally change the choices available to you when those choices matter most. So visit burnah.com, B-Y-R-N-A-D-com to find out and find the right, launcher for your family. That's burn up.com. How much longer can Mitch McConnell go before he finally informs Americans and the people of Kentucky what's going on with him? I mean, how long are the Senate off now? The Senate's off? Yeah, they're off for seven weeks. There you go. You got another seven weeks. So yes, at least that long. At least that. They certainly didn't care about it prior to them living
Starting point is 01:23:14 them leaving no they didn't and he was unconscious when the EMT arrived that's what was reported when the ambulance got there
Starting point is 01:23:24 he'd apparently had a heart attack he was unconscious they took him away like that that's what the letter said that was you know reportedly from him which you know
Starting point is 01:23:32 again there's been no proof of life we've seen two pictures both looking similar with him sitting with the wife different different shirts and different blouses. One review I saw said that that picture is obviously fake.
Starting point is 01:23:51 The wife would not be seen in that T.J. Max blouse. That's probably true. And I thought that was absolutely true. I mean, they could have faked them both. Or they could have been from a prior hospital stay. Sure. Or not at all. Who knows?
Starting point is 01:24:10 Or it could be real. I don't know. Maybe he's perfectly fine. Maybe he is in rehab or has been until they finally sent him home over the weekend. That's what they want us to believe. Yeah. No question. But we have seen there's been zero in an age of on demand videos by the millions per second seemingly. We've seen no video evidence of his life, of him being alive. Zero. It's unacceptable in a U.S. Senator. Unacceptable. Right? Yeah. And even though he's not running for re-election, he's still in the Senate. Yeah. And if this were, Republicans would be out of their minds if this was a Democrat. If this was Chuck Schumer and we had no idea for 58 days on how he's doing, we'd be out of our skulls over it. We would have been at least gone to the hospital.
Starting point is 01:25:04 Somebody would. Someone would have gone to the hospital to check on Chuck Schumer. Yes. with their team with their videos being shown. We're walking down the hallway. Demand proof of life. Yes.
Starting point is 01:25:17 But I guess since it's Mitch McConnell, man, nobody cares. And we saw, right, we know that, you know, our buddy Tom Tillis, we got video evidence of him, he lives in the back house, the other edifice house, connected to Mitch's house.
Starting point is 01:25:32 It's a separate edifice. He did. We've got no reason to doubt it. I think it. connects through the garage. But that's a, you know, that's, otherwise it's a separate edifice. Yeah. But, uh, and we've seen, we saw no video footage of him leaving the hospital, going to his
Starting point is 01:25:53 home. Right. Nothing. There's nothing. We have video evidence. You would think as he's being wheeled out, he'd give a wave to a camera. Something. Okay.
Starting point is 01:26:01 There he is. Something. He actually is up and alive. Right. Something. But we don't, like, we don't deserve even that. not even the wave. That's unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:26:11 It is. Literally is unbelievable. I don't. I mean, we saw evidence of one of a proposed caretaker going into his home. And when question going in, oh, yeah, I'm here. I'm going to be here overnight. And I'm taking care of Mitch McConnell. That's what I'm here for.
Starting point is 01:26:27 And then she comes out the next morning and she makes a high-tails it to the ride for her. Won't say a word. Won't say a word to the same person that was waiting out there. I mean, so does that prove that McConnell is alive and they told her to zip it? Or does that prove that he's barely alive and they told her to zip it? Doesn't prove anything except they told her to zip it. Yeah. That part is obvious.
Starting point is 01:26:53 Yeah. I mean, she hightails it. Yeah. She's a different person when she comes back out of it. At least as it applies to responding to questions from a reporter. She won't say anything. Just like the rest of his staff. done, you know, the guy, his chief of staff, who by the way, they make a point out of letting
Starting point is 01:27:13 us know he makes $226,000 a year. It's a pretty good gig. That's more than the senator himself. Your chief of staff is making about 50,000 more than you are? That's kind of weird. Anyway. He's doing the work. He's repeatedly refused to say anything.
Starting point is 01:27:31 Nothing. We ran into the head of communications for Mr. McConnell. Nothing. Nothing. Yeah. I think that goes against what she's supposed to be doing. You would think, yeah. You know, nothing.
Starting point is 01:27:42 You would think. Not even a stop. Yes, the senator wanted us to let you know that he's still in rehab, and he's doing okay, and he's doing what the doctors need. I mean, nothing. Nothing. Yeah. It's unacceptable.
Starting point is 01:27:55 It is. Unacceptable. Iran is even saying they're going to release photos of Muytabha Khomeini, the Supreme Leader of Iran shortly. We haven't even heard that. from McConnell's campaign. We can't even get that out of them. I mean, the last letter was, they didn't even provide a picture or anything.
Starting point is 01:28:15 It was just a letter that was supposed to be from Mitch. Oh, oh, okay. Sure. Mm-hmm. No problem. Mm-hmm. Because, you know, no problem. He's the United States Senator, the people he's representing in Kentucky.
Starting point is 01:28:29 So, so what? I would really love for President Trump to put an end of this and say, look, tell the American people, where he is, what's going on, is he even capable of coming back? Why hasn't that happened? I don't know. I really don't know. I mean, I get the president's got a couple things on his plate. Yeah. But he's pretty good at juggling those plates. I mean, that's what makes him Donald Trump. And so it's really interesting to me that there hasn't been questions to him. Yeah. That we've seen about Mitch McConnell. I think we've seen one in the last two months. Maybe one person I'm told he's fine.
Starting point is 01:29:07 I'm told he's fine. The first time, maybe it's been a couple of times because the first time he said he didn't know anything. And then he said, I don't even remember. Because people said he was fine or something like that. People say he's recovering in rehab or whatever. But it's a really weird situation. Very weird. Don't get it.
Starting point is 01:29:27 Un-American. Yeah. We've had some struggling times in the United States. Senate past couple of months since Mitch hasn't been there to do any business at all, or at least he claims he's still doing the people's business. Are you, Mitch? Because you missed a bunch of votes. Yeah, 40 to 50.
Starting point is 01:29:47 And now there's a time when you're supposed to be back home meeting your constituents in your home state, because this is called, I think, Senate home time or whatever. You're in D.C., apparently, in your home, in rehab. So you're not really doing that either. No. I don't get it. I don't get it. And I'm pretty sure they're not going to say anything while the Senate is in recess.
Starting point is 01:30:13 Right. They're not going to say it. Why? They don't have to. Right. They don't have to. Right. And we did get a report early on, or at least a month or so ago, that they were going to pull the plug on him.
Starting point is 01:30:23 Right? The plug was going to get pulled. He was unconscious and it was time for him to go. But then that was debunked because that first. letter came out and so they I and if you could make the case that because the news broke they were going to pull the plug they didn't so has he been on life support this whole time and we're just carrying him around with the with the on life support with the oxygen tank going up and down every every second I don't know Jeffrey because they've proven nothing so I don't know we're just
Starting point is 01:30:59 left to speculate like this because they won't say anything. It's crazy. I keep saying it's unbelievable, but they're doing it. So it's believable. I guess it's been going on for 58 days. So I guess by now we kind of believe it. Something else that's pretty unbelievable is what's happening in Mexico. Have you heard about the killings of influencers?
Starting point is 01:31:23 Internet influencers have. Internet influencers have been being murdered by drug cartels left and right. It's like dozens. I think it's the last count I heard was 40 some. Wow. I had not heard that number. Now, have they all been, the couple that I'm aware of for sure? This is just in the last two years, by the way.
Starting point is 01:31:41 Okay. So a couple that I'm aware of for sure that were murdered while live streaming. Yeah, some of them were. So were they all weren't murdered live streaming, right? No. No. But several. Yeah, that's better.
Starting point is 01:31:54 That's better. At least nobody had to see it. Right. But in this one case, Cesar Gastilum was dressed in a luminescent orange outfit with delivery rucksacks on his back and his friends had some on their back. And they were joking around on a live stream. And then all of a sudden, two masked people on a motorbike drive by and shoot him in the head.
Starting point is 01:32:25 Oh. Just like that. he had over 500,000 followers. He was the latest in dozens and dozens of influencers being murdered by cartels in Mexico, often executed publicly and brutally. Then there's a Valeria Marquez, a 23-year-old beauty content creator who was shot and killed while live streaming in her beauty salon. The camera continued rolling while blood poured from her chest and head. I remember one that I watched was a guy kind of in a,
Starting point is 01:33:01 he was in his home, but it was kind of a radio studio set kind of thing set up for his live stream. And they just marched in, shot him, walked away. You see the gun come in and you see him, you know, fall back. And it's still streaming. They weren't concerned about not streaming. And in fact, I believe that was the reason that they wanted to do it then is because here, this is what could happen to you.
Starting point is 01:33:26 right there was the the other caesar gastilum yeah right yeah yeah okay he's the motor guy got with the motorcycles right they just rolled up on him and took him down yep so that's good times it's uh really frightening and if you are a a mexican influencer in sinolaa halisco or mexico city i'd move if i were you because this is where the vast majority of these have happened in these three areas. So I don't know. The way they're, you might think, why are drug cartels even concerned with these influencers? And apparently, occasionally they say bad things about the cartel.
Starting point is 01:34:16 So they pay for it with their life. Or a lot of times they're involved with them. Yeah, they took money. They've taken money. Yeah. And that's, it's hard not to. I'm sure it is. I mean, I've often thought, you know, I think a lot about, you know, A, if you're in a position for them to come to you, can you say no without any harm coming between you or someone you love?
Starting point is 01:34:41 It's a good question. And once you do take the money, because the money's going to be sweet, I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I just want to do this. And I'm going to continue on this money will help us. And it's all good. All I have to do is this.
Starting point is 01:34:55 It's this. Yeah. And sooner or later, what happens is you either do something wrong, you get greedy because there's so much money. Or a competing cartel takes offense at what you've said. It's positive about another cartel. Or what you're doing for that cartel. Right. Yes.
Starting point is 01:35:14 And because you don't have your own security, you know, you're getting taken care of. Right. I mean, we had that happen here in South Lake, Texas. Yeah. The guy was the financier for some cartel, lived here, living large, just a regular guy with his family. In broad daylight, the guy is at the South Lake Town Center, which is not big outdoor mall, really nice. Always busy, upscale, everybody walking around. Everybody walking around, and they didn't care.
Starting point is 01:35:43 His family got out of the car, and he was sitting in the vehicle, and they came up and shot him and drove away. Yep. And I think they arrested a couple of people that were part of that already. Maybe they might have gotten. But that was really unusual because they normally avoid killing people in America because it's their customer base for one thing. And I think they don't want us clamping down on them. Which President Trump is doing now anyway. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:13 But this is really frightening. And I wouldn't want to be an influencer in Mexico right now because it's pretty tough apparently. And like you said, it's really hard. for them to just say no to them. Because, you know, they see the cars, the parties, the expensive restaurants, all that's being offered to them by the cartels. Very difficult. And then to turn that down, it's tough. AAA 727BECK, more in one minute. When you sign your company's insurance policy, for some brokers, that's the finish line.

Here's an amazing statistic you may or may not know about all the homicide in Mexico. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:38:07 You got all these influencers who have been killed, dozens and dozens of them. You've got politicians over 200 politicians that have been murdered in the last few years. Do we count the sheriff's politicians because there's been enough? There's also law enforcement. That's a whole separate category. There's an awful lot of those. Okay. This check it.
Starting point is 01:38:26 Yeah. But here's the thing. Fewer than 10% of the murders in Mexico end in convictions. fewer than 10%, which means 90% of the time the murderers get away with it. Well, I mean, you can't tell who they are. They're on their motorcycle helmet.
Starting point is 01:38:44 They just drive away. There's no way. Yeah, you're right. You're right. They didn't leave a note. There's no facial recognition on the motorcycle helmet. Right. So what are you going to do? You're not going to solve it.
Starting point is 01:38:56 You're not going to solve it. And that happens time after time. After time. Plus, if they just drive by the motorcycle, motorcycles, which I love, are you supposed to, I mean, there's just like, that solves the case in and of itself. Yeah, it was the motorcycle guys. We're done. Well, you'd like to maybe, I don't know, hold them accountable for that. Okay. Yeah. I think that would be the ultimate goal, but let's not get crazy. I want to get nuts. It is Mexico. I mean, that is incredible. Now, so that's all murders. Yeah. In Mexico.
Starting point is 01:39:31 Less than 10% ending convictions. I would say that, you know, but now, one would think, hey, maybe they should, you know, get better detectives. Oh, that's just crazy talk. It's just, where are you getting that? Break it down a little bit. But, you know, maybe they have great detectives, and the detectives are like, yeah, I'm not looking into that.
Starting point is 01:39:55 I'm not going to do that. I think that it's a combination thing. I don't think a lot of times anybody wants to cross the cartels because nothing good comes of it. You know? And perhaps the detectives are, and I just throwing this out there.
Starting point is 01:40:10 I have no way of knowing. So there's no way to prove this, but perhaps the detectives are working for the cartels. On the take. Yeah. Yeah. I know of knowing this. It's just thinking out loud.
Starting point is 01:40:22 I remember when I was in Houston and we talked about immigration like this quite a bit. And they sent, the Mexicans sent, I think it was 9,000 Mexican troops, the Federals into, I don't remember what location it was, but one of the hotbeds of these cartels. And it turned out that out of the 90,000 that went in, 4,000 of them joined the cartels. so it's not really ideal i would call that suboptimal yeah yeah yeah so didn't work out real well so there's a whole bunch of reasons behind it still not a be careful in mexico and president trump's offered let us come help we can we can help with that but no nope no they don't want that In the U.S., there is a break-in every 26 seconds, but when intruders step near,

Starting point is 01:42:59 Pat and Jeffrey for Glenn today, AAA 727, B-E-C-K. Now the WNBA, doing it again, making themselves so incredibly likable. Aren't they? As always. How much do you want to watch the WNBA now? I don't think I'll miss a game next year.
Starting point is 01:43:17 These are such pleasant, wonderful people. I mean, they're turning themselves on their head now, though. They're in a little bit of a firestorm even more. Yeah, they are. I mean, this time they're going to have to face the fire a little bit because they have ex-NBA players saying, I identify as a woman. Right.
Starting point is 01:43:38 That's going to be great. And I want to be up for the draft. And already, Sophie Cunningham, who's with the Indiana. Fever. The fever, okay, right. Like, as we all know, it's the Indiana fever. Wow. And so she already sounded off on, let's, you know,
Starting point is 01:43:58 keep women's basketball, women's basketball, no biological males, meaning we don't want trans women coming in here and playing against us. Well, I think all of these, a lot of these people in the WMBA have taken exception to that. They absolutely have because they don't listen to what she says. They just hear trans hate, and she wants to ban trans people from being on the planet.
Starting point is 01:44:21 And that's not what she said at all. So in a game, was this last, it was yesterday, right? Sophie winning in. It was a couple days ago, Friday, Saturday, something like that. Whatever. Nobody cares because nobody's interested. The only reason we know about it is because it was put on the internet. Right.
Starting point is 01:44:39 There's like one person actually watching. Exactly. And it was the mother of the player that knocked Sophie down. Anyway, here's Sophie Cunningham going in for a layup. She gets this Dijunay Carrington is thrown out of the game. Correct. And while she's in the locker room, game's still going on.
Starting point is 01:45:00 She tweets out, white privilege in all caps. What? So it's white privilege to be knocked down on the floor while you're going in for a layup. On purpose, you do this flagrant foul. to her. And that's white privilege. And then you suffer the consequences of that because anybody would be kicked out of the game for that. But that's white privilege.
Starting point is 01:45:27 Maybe she was busy, you know, tying some more blonde braids on her hair. Yeah, it's not cultural appropriation there. I'm sorry. It is kind of. I think it's more than kind of. Oh, man. If one of the white women in the league. Let's say Caitlin Clark comes out in dreads.
Starting point is 01:45:50 Oh, what would they say about that? I would love that, but it's never going to happen. Never going to happen, especially not with her. Definitely be fights. Yeah. Yes. Definitely be fights. She might even be ejected from the game.
Starting point is 01:46:01 They might not let her play with the dreads. It wouldn't surprise me. It wouldn't surprise me either. As Jeffrey mentioned, Ennis Cantor. Well, he goes by Ennis Cantor freedom now because he changed his name to freedom. But anyway, he just declared for the WNBA. He's, I don't know, a few years removed from the NBA, maybe. He's only 34.
Starting point is 01:46:22 So were he to join the WNBA, I'm pretty sure he'd have a serious impact. But here's his announcement over the weekend. A big serious production. After careful consideration and review with the current eligibility guidelines, I'm officially declaring myself a WMBA prospect. If simply declaring who you are is all that's required, that I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WMBA. My team and I have carefully examined the WMB's eligibility criteria
Starting point is 01:46:56 and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WMBA draft in May 2027. I am definitely not here to mock make fun of or disrespect any community or personal choices. I am simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone. The rules that represent the very values many WMBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for. My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception. And I look forward to the WMBA honoring its stated principles.
Starting point is 01:47:34 Yeah, that would be nice. That would be nice, Ennis. See you at training camp. I love the end of that. That's great. Look, the WMBA has asked for this from the very beginning since none of them will come out and say, yeah you know what that's uh sophie's right uh and uh they should be we you know it should be for females only uh not that none of this trans BS none of this well that's a that's a layered
Starting point is 01:48:01 conversation and uh I don't know that I'm educated enough to answer you on that topic wrong I mean it's just agonizing so they sent out a the commissioner sent out a letter right after this saying that they're committed to having the conversation and It's a nuanced approach. It's not nuanced at all. No. And in fact, we have another ex-NBA first-round draft pick, Royce White, who said that he is, he wants to go into the WNBA draft.
Starting point is 01:48:32 And in fact, he posted a picture this weekend that his first wig arrived and that this is his, we're now entering his feminine era. Oh, wow. And he said he's going to try it out on the court today. and so it's uh you know he's he's just saying you know i'm here i'm ready to go into the w nbba and don't okay don't question me okay it's my it's my feminine era so okay this is what you get yeah and so now the wmBA is saying they're going to have uh you know meetings and have to you know talk about this yeah yeah you will you're going to have to face it and you're going to
Starting point is 01:49:11 come out and say what you don't want to say and that is that If you're a biological man, you can't play in the WNB. The women's national basketball association is going to have to be just for women. Yeah, that's the W. So, I mean. It's agonizing. And again, if you're going to play that game where... Well, you have to identify as a female.
Starting point is 01:49:42 Ennis Cantor Freedom doesn't identify. Sure does. He does. He said. He said it. Said it. So what he? And this Royce guy as well. They said it. They said it. So what are you going to do? Yeah. He got to wig and everything. What you're going to have to decide, all right, what is the length of time that they have to have been, have been identifying as a female?
Starting point is 01:50:09 What is it that's going to differentiate? Where do you draw that line? It's going to be fascinating. That's going to be really fascinating. Unless they. Just flat out say if you were born male, you can't compete in the WNBA. They're going to have to do that, right? One would think? Have to do that. And if they're going to test, they're going to have to test, you know, it's going to have to be, if you're already in the WMBA, you don't have to have a test.
Starting point is 01:50:36 But if you want to come into the WMBA, then you have to have a test because they already have some. They already have some in the WMBA that were. That you think are mailed. Yeah, they already have. think Brittany Greiner is male? Absolutely. 100%. 100%.
Starting point is 01:50:52 All right. Look it up. I have. I've seen poolside picks. Male. Really? Yeah. I could not have been doctored by AI at all.
Starting point is 01:51:02 No? No. Oh, okay. So it's impossible that that was AI. Yes. Or Photoshop. Yes. Whatever.
Starting point is 01:51:11 Huh. Yes. All right. Granted, Brittany Griner. does, sounds a little more masculine, acts a little more masculine, but she's not. She's female. Whatever you say, Pat.
Starting point is 01:51:25 That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. I mean, they're going to have to come out. Yeah, they have to. You would think so. You would think so. Otherwise, you're going to get more of this Ennis Cantor stuff. Because you can't stop it then.
Starting point is 01:51:38 No. You can't because they feel that they're a woman. That's your trademark. That's what's so nuanced about this conversation. And what they'll say is, and as Cantor is try to make a point here, but where do you, again, where do you make that distinction? Where do you draw that line? How do you know others aren't making that point too? It's silly.
Starting point is 01:52:00 They should just do it just right now, come out and state emphatically where only for biological women. If you were born a biological woman, you can play in the WNBA. Otherwise, you can't. You can't. And do you think, you know, the commissioner, Engelberg, is going to say that? She's going to have to. Otherwise, the league is doomed. Yeah, she has to.
Starting point is 01:52:24 The NBA, what's his face that's in charge of the NBA, silver, he's got to be on the phone to Engelbert saying, we give you hundreds of millions a year and keep this league alive. I know you're saying that you're making money these days, but. We subsidize this league. Oh, yeah, they have for the whole 30 years. Yes. An organization. I'm sure that when Adam Silver calls, she takes the call.
Starting point is 01:52:54 And I know that she, you know, as she says, they approach this topic thoughtfully, respectfully, and in alignment with longstanding values of our league. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, my gosh. Uh-huh. You're going to have to bend the knee. You're going to have to. Otherwise, your league is doomed.
Starting point is 01:53:11 That's why it was fun that Ennis Cantor started out. the video by after careful thought and consideration. Yes. Okay. So he's carefully thought this out. I identify as a woman now. So you cannot bash him for that.
Starting point is 01:53:26 It was after a lot of careful thought and consideration. Amen. All right. More coming up. Glenn Beck. Cozy Earth's mission is to transform the time that matters most. Your sleep into the most comfortable part of your day. Sleeping in a cooler environment offers several

So we just played the Sophie Cunningham video where she gets knocked down by Dijon A. Carrington. Carrington gets thrown out of the game.
Starting point is 01:55:43 Well, the left and the other WNBA players are all trying to show these clips of Sophie Cunningham doing something similar, not quite. Not quite as egregious. But, I mean, nobody ever said she hasn't done it. We're just saying that that was egregious. That particular play, yeah. Yeah, that play was egregious and had nothing to do with white privilege. What are you talking about? Right.
Starting point is 01:56:05 Where's this white privilege stuff? I don't know. And I'm sure Sophie went into the locker room after the game and went, who, thanks to my white privilege, I didn't get kicked out. Why would she? Oh, yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. She wouldn't.
Starting point is 01:56:18 She didn't. Her egregious foul was to another white person. Oh, yeah. Right. So where does the white privilege come in there? I don't know. White on white privilege crime? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:56:32 Is there such a thing? I don't know. I don't know. I don't think so. If there is, nobody cares about it. That's for sure. So, I don't know, but this WNBA thing, they are so unlikable. The whole league, just forget it.
Starting point is 01:56:45 Yep, most definitely. They go out of their way to be unlikable. Yeah, they really do. It's really amazing. They really do. Try to spit in your face. I mean, even if you try to be a fan, because you like Caitlin Clark and you like what Sophie Cunningham has done recently, even then they spit in your face.
Starting point is 01:57:03 Yeah, the bulk of the whole thing. It's just too much. Too much to try to become a fan of, I think. And Sophie is there to protect Caitlin. And Caitlin, when asked about it, is never 100% on Sophie's side. No, she hasn't really reciprocated. Well, we're here to think about the game. And we want to think, you know, the game is the game.
Starting point is 01:57:24 And we're here for that. That's all that I care about is focusing on the game. It's like, well, that's not what we're talking about, Caitlin. Yeah. Yeah. But she's obviously trying to play that game and trying to be a friend of everybody in the league. You're not going to win it. You're just not going to win it. And she obviously should know that by now that she's not going to win it.
Starting point is 01:57:48 Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson is going to have Hunter Biden on his show. Yeah, drops today. The whole interview drops today. It's supposedly three hours with him? I don't know that. I don't know. I'm waiting for it to drop. I heard some rumors about it being that long. I don't know how long it is. the love fest can only last for so long.
Starting point is 01:58:06 Here's a promo of what's about to transpire. I haven't seen you in 11 years, though I've talked about you. Hunter Biden. I love Candace. I do too. I like Thomas Massey and Margettello Green. I like that there are people that have kind of woken up. I have really only one question, one thing that has bothered me.
Starting point is 01:58:26 So I just want to ask you point blank, did you drop off laptops? No, no. The answer is no. I say to everybody, okay, show me your phone. Because I'll show you mine. and you didn't find a thing. We get approached by Israelis connected to Benjamin Nanyahu who are shopping this stuff
Starting point is 01:58:41 to me at Fox News. The way that it entered the bloodstream of American media was not really. I don't have any more secrets. Donald Trump, I think he had such an opportunity he just decided that all he was going to do was for himself.
Starting point is 01:58:54 One of my closest friends went off the deep end. All of a sudden, Trump's under the bed and it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. He was under my bed. We are, just, we are, at an inflection point in this country. What's your plan? We are in
Starting point is 01:59:09 desperate, desperate needs of leadership. I mean, I'm just sitting here with my mouth agape. I don't even know what to say about that. How has this happened? Wow.
Starting point is 01:59:29 All right. Of course you're like Marjorie Taylor Green. Thomas Massey. They've turned on the president. And Candace. And oh my gosh. And she gave him, what, two hours? Long time.
Starting point is 01:59:44 To try to rehabilitate him, too. So, yeah, of course you're in love with these people. Wow. All right. See you back here tomorrow.
