It's kind of a weird thing to admit. But with sweat block, it's actually probably. It's possible, and it's really, it's amazing, Stu. You have to try it. It is amazing. If you or somebody you love has a problem with sweating or just, I mean, really, this is amazing. You have to try it. The deodorant stick is good, but the sweatblock wipes, amazing. Amazing.

I want to get right to the Biden student debt cancellation. I'll tell you all about it and what it means coming up in 60 seconds.
Starting point is 00:02:06 First, Keith wrote in about his experience with relief factory. He says, I have experienced decreased pain and stiffness after taking relief factor. I've been in it and added about three months and my pain is not completely gone, but it has diminished substantially. Thank you. Keith, thank you for writing in. I'm telling you, 70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to order more month after month. Why? Why? Why would you do that unless you're seeing your life start to come back?
Starting point is 00:02:38 I know what it's like to be in pain that you just can't live with anymore. Please try Relief Factor. The 1995 Quick Start trial pack, you just take it three times a day as directed. If in three weeks you're not seeing anything, stop taking it because it probably won't work for you. but 70% of the people go on to order more. Relieffactor.com. Call 800, the number four relief. 800, the number four relief.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Relieffactor.com. Feel the difference. So as expected, Biden is going to cancel $10,000 for all federal student debts, up to joint filers earning $250,000. That includes, by the White House's own admission, basically all but the top 5%. The big addition to that is the Pell Grant recipients who have student loans that will get up to $20,000 in debt canceled.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Now, here's what I love. I feel sorry for the president once in a while because, I mean, he's a, I don't know, he thinks he's Robin Hood or he's a socialist. I don't know, but he doesn't even get the redistribution of wealth right. his plan to cancel $10,000 in student debt for anybody who earns up to $125,000 a year is possibly the largest single transfer from poor to rich people in American history. Researchers at the University of Chicago have determined that President Biden's plan will shift an estimated $192 billion in earned income to the top $202,000. 20% of wage earners.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Just $29 billion will go to the bottom 20%. That's insanity. The cost to you will be $427 billion. To put that into perspective, just this loan forgiveness is more than the gross national domestic product of Hong Kong and 182 other countries. countries. If you like social programs, great. This one is 36 times greater than the federal
Starting point is 00:05:01 government spent on Head Start in 2022. If it is support defense spending, great. This is two and a half times larger than the entire budget of the U.S. Army in 2022. By the way, this doesn't include the non-cancellation elements of the Biden announcement, including proposals to significantly cut many borrowers' monthly payments by more generous loan forgiveness in the future. That's just today. So people who go to college, especially those who get degrees, and that's where most of the loan is sitting in grad school.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Okay. they typically make 1.2 to 3.1 million dollars more than those who don't get a degree over a lifetime. Job security because they have a degree. Hmm. So why are the little people helping out those people? By the way, grossly unconstitutional. Congress, not the president, has the spending power. but that hasn't mattered for how long.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Experts including former Obama administration attorney Charles Rose has argued that Biden lacks the authority. Nancy Pelosi has said the same thing. Even the Department of Energy, or I'm sorry, education said Biden doesn't, I'm quoting, Biden doesn't have the statutory authority to cancel, compromise, discharge, or forgive on a blanket or mass basis, principal balance of student loans and or to materially modify the repayment amounts of terms thereof.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Pelosi's now reversed herself on this. Oh, you've got to be kidding. She's like, oh, no, it's a bold plan. Oh, my gosh. The Department of Education is now they're citing that as specifically as having this authority, even though they themselves have said they don't have it. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Absolutely unbelievable. Okay. So what happens when we pour roughly another half trillion dollars into the economy? This is gasoline on the inflationary fire. It's already burning out of control by Jason Furman, the Harvard economist, and former advisor to Obama. He said the bill will increase inflation by 0.2% or 0.3%. And that is likely underestimated. The knowledge that a president can unilaterally reduce student loan balances will cause debtors to upwardly revise their view of their own future income encouraging more spending.
Starting point is 00:08:10 In fact, please play the cut we just played from Elizabeth Warren. Here's what she said yesterday. Ultimately, what the data show us is that because of student loan debt, there are many people who don't move out of their mama's basement, who can't save up money to buy a home, who don't start small businesses, who don't start a family. You relieve the debt burden some for those people, and we have more economic activity. In other words, canceling student loan debt is good for the people whose debt is canceled, it is also good for our economy and the rest of America.
Starting point is 00:08:52 How? How? We don't want more spending. That's why the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates to make people stop spending money. The idea of inflation, to fight inflation, you've got to get the average Joe to stop spend. Have you ever heard we got to slow this economy down? It's overheating. What does that mean? That means they're going to penalize you through taxes and higher interest rates to get you to stop spending money. These people are just, they are criminally insane or they are just criminals. What they're doing to this country is criminal. By the way, it's not debt forgiveness.
Starting point is 00:09:43 It's debt transfer. We'll get into that later. Here we are living where food prices are the most since 1974. Rents are soaring. The median rent payment for Bank of America customers, they're paying 7.4% in July more than last July. How about, hey, how's your energy bill? How is that air conditioning bill?
Starting point is 00:10:14 Do you know that one in every six Americans are behind in their energy bill to the point of being cut off? One in six Americans owe around $800 that they just can't pay. Energy's through the roof. And what are these people doing? What are they doing? Biden, he's shutting down our minds while sending our money to Canada. to their minds. I mean, this is
Starting point is 00:10:52 taxing us. Oh, nobody's going to... Well, the average person is going to cost... It's going to have to pay now. $2,000. Just for this, the average American has to pony up two grand.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Okay, where are we going to get that? Where are you going to get that? It makes perfect sense, though, right? Everyone ponies up two grand to pay 20% of the population 10 grand. That's just a transfer of wealth. That's all it is. If you are not a recipient here, you're going to lose badly. And if you are a recipient here, it'll feel good for a short period of time and it'll screw with the economy so badly that you will wind up losing all these benefits anyway.
Starting point is 00:11:33 That's what happened with inflation. They gave all these trillions of dollars away during COVID, and then all of it got wiped out by inflation within a couple of years. The other, how about deficit reduction? We just passed this. Inflation Reduction Act, which one of the main selling points for it was it was going to reduce the budget deficit or debt by $300 billion over 10 years. In eight days, they spent all of that money plus another 70%. In eight days. By the way, they think that this is going to, because we'll be in even more problems with the loan situation. By 2025, they're expecting another one of one.
Starting point is 00:12:17 1.6 billion. No, sorry. 1.6 trillion dollars. We don't comment on bills that are worth 1.6. We just gave 3 billion to Ukraine yesterday. Yeah. We didn't even comment on it. This is crazy.
Starting point is 00:12:34 This is absolutely, listen to me. Please, everything we've talked about over the years, it's happening. It's all happening. And you have got to understand. understand that things can go a right. All we're waiting for is an event. I mean, think of this. Think of we get into a real energy situation, which we could this winter. We get into a situation where people cannot afford to heat their house. We're going to have another bailout. But that's just putting a band-aid on the problem. In fact, it's re-injuring another
Starting point is 00:13:26 part of your body. It will only make things worse. And what are they doing? They're getting rid of all of our energy. And they're saying this is a good thing for us. It is not a good thing. These people have got to be stopped. We have got to get out and vote.
Starting point is 00:13:48 If we could possibly win the Senate, I don't know how that's going to happen. But if we could possibly win the Senate, That's the best thing that could happen to us. But we have to win the house. Have to. This stuff has got to stop. And the Republicans aren't going to be able to do anything except stop it.
Starting point is 00:14:13 But if they don't stop it in its tracks, if we don't, this is insanity. Insanity. You're going to have blackouts. Imagine having blackouts throughout the country. That means you can't pump gas. That means your bank is not going to be working. How long do you think? Remember, Katrina?
Starting point is 00:14:39 You've got 72 hours. 72 hours if people don't think that something's going to happen, that good guys are coming, you've got 72 hours of safety before the bad guys start to go, Oh, there's nobody coming. It's going to go on for a while. It's not good. By the way, this is exactly what we said would happen in 2009.
Starting point is 00:15:08 You know why we're in this situation? Because Barack Obama insisted on putting and taking all loans onto the federal system in 2009. He said, no, no, bank shouldn't be involved in that. We're going to take that on ourselves. And we told you at that time, man, stop listening to people that have lied to you or who have just been so dramatically wrong. It was more important for them to score points and say, oh, what an idiot he is. What an idiot. What a conspiracy theorist.
Starting point is 00:15:45 I don't care what their motivation is, but just recognize who has been telling you what's really going on. do not dismiss these warnings. Please. We told you in 2009. This is what's going to happen. No, that's crazy. Look, here's the one thing that you really need to know. Socialism and Marxism has collapsed this country.
Starting point is 00:16:20 We are not the America we have been before. We are not a constitutional republic. It has to be restored. It has to be restored. It has to be saved. Even if it is in the hearts of her people, it has to be saved. It has to be preserved.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Biden, if he's a socialist, man, he's the worst socialist. He's robbing the poor to pay the rich. That doesn't make you robbing. Hood, man, that makes you the sheriff of Nottingham. You're not, you're not Robin Hood. They try to make it always look out, we're Robin Hood. This is what we are. But when you're the king and you have an army or a bunch of sheriffs that come to the doors of the common man demand taxes and it all goes to the rich and connected, you can't claim to be the good guy. You're the reason Robin Hood existed. He was fighting you. This is.
Starting point is 00:17:25 a massive slap in the face of every America, every American. And I'll tell you, it's happened one other time in my lifetime. I'll share that in 60 seconds. When your kids come home from school, ask them what they learn during the day. How do they answer you? Even if they're not being indoctrinated, and they are, the leftist revisionist history that they are reading does not make them excited. Is anybody excited about history? Is anybody excited about new ideas and even the old ideas that create new ideas? Imaginations need to be fed. It's time to minimize the damage from activist teachers. Get your kids out of school. Do everything you can. You've got to get the number one priority of all of us now should not be our house or our jobs or any it has to be our
Starting point is 00:18:25 families. Prepare them for the world. Tuddle Twins has eight different bundles of books for kids of different ages and every bundle is on sale this week and only this week, only two days left, today and tomorrow. I want you to go to Tuttletwinsbeck.com. Get a big discount on all of their bundles. It's tutel twinsbeck.com. Do it for your kids' future. Do it for my kids' future. Tuttle twinsbeck.com. 10 seconds station ID. So the last time we had a Robin Hood in the office, he did exactly the same thing. The last time I felt a slap in the face was when the average man was losing his home in 2008. The average person lost so much.
Starting point is 00:19:26 So many Americans lost their home, their life savings, everything. And at that time, the sheriff came knocking at our door, and we lost our homes while the giant banks and corporations raked in the cash from our taxes in something called tarp. They were bailed out, but we weren't. I didn't go to college because my family and I couldn't afford college. I went when I was 30. I took one semester. Why?
Starting point is 00:20:01 Because I couldn't afford it. Now I'm paying for somebody else. You know, I would think that those who were kids when mom and dad lost their homes would remember how wrong or unfair things like this really are. But perhaps not. perhaps we're past the point of reason and logic and self-governance. Perhaps the American dream, the American idea, the American question that was posed to the world in all mankind, can man govern himself, or does he need somebody to keep the foot on their neck? Perhaps that's now been answered.
Starting point is 00:20:54 perhaps now it's every man for himself and grab it while you can. After all, everybody else is doing it. Why shouldn't I? When is it my turn? Chaos. What is happening in our country is evil. It is evil. They are not telling you the truth about what is coming. They are not telling you the truth of what they are building.
Starting point is 00:21:24 They are not telling you the truth about the IRS. or the FBI or the CIA and NSA. And I've just said in that last paragraph, everything that marks me as an extremist American. Let me throw one more in. I believe in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence as written. Now I'm dangerous. America, we are not in the same nation anymore.
Starting point is 00:22:08 We are not. We're not fighting to get our country back. We are now fighting for mankind's freedom. It is in jeopardy all around the world. I was listening to BBC News World Service today. He heard a reporter in India saying, there is no freedom of speech left here. This is happening all around the globe.
Starting point is 00:22:36 It's not Republican and Democrat. Back. Christine wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Green. She says, my dog is 14 years old. I thought this might add to his quality of life. And the first time I put it on his food with a little hot water, he sniffed it, walked away for about three minutes. Then he tried it and loved it. He's gotten frisky again.
Starting point is 00:22:58 He started playing with his tennis ball. Thank you so much, Rough Greens. Rough Greens isn't a dog food. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog's food. It's chock full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, you name it. If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in rough greens. And most dogs love it and go crazy for it. Now, maybe your dog doesn't like it.
Starting point is 00:23:23 And that's why the folks at Rough Greens, they're so confident your dog is going to love it, that they have a special deal. They'll send you a free trial pack just so you can feed your dog and see if they like it. They don't want you spending any money if your dog's not going to eat it. But if your dog eats it, man, order the packs and just watch month. after month after month the changes in your dog. It's really quite amazing to watch. Roughgreens.com slash Beck,
Starting point is 00:23:46 roughgreens.com slash Beck or 833, GLE and N-33. One of the biggest newsdays we've seen in a while continues. BlazTV.com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn. Yeah. This is the Glenn Beck program. I believe, and I don't know exactly how to describe it, this isn't quite right,
Starting point is 00:24:18 but there is something about, today's news cycle and I urge you urge you to get my full show prep today there's something that has changed today's news cycle is probably it feels like the most important news day possibly of my life and it's not quite right but I don't know what it is I'm sensing but there are it's all here today it's all here if you have I haven't signed up for my newsletter. This is the raw. I've never released this before.
Starting point is 00:24:54 I started a few months ago. And I release all of the things that I read. And I, to prepare for the show. And today there's like 50, maybe 60 stories on it. But you read that and you'll understand the world. You will see the things that you need to see. And not all of them, you know, well, they're just very different. Please read it.
Starting point is 00:25:20 You can get it for free at glenbeck.com. Just sign up for our free morning newsletter. All right. Let me give you a couple of stories here that are disturbing. First of all, why is everyone blaming the vaccine on Donald Trump all of a sudden? Have you noticed this trend? Blaming? It's funny because Trump has obviously requested credit for the vaccine for many, many months.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Correct. Now all of a sudden The left This could be reversing Yeah Now all of a sudden the left is like You know Donald Trump Is really the one
Starting point is 00:25:56 What is it that's coming? What is it that they know that we don't know? They did push I think what you're referring to Is they there was a big article That came out that Trump and Trump officials were pressuring
Starting point is 00:26:08 The medical establishment to Not only push through Operation Warp Speed Kind of makes sense right They were trying to push hard He was by the way Incredibly clear about how hard he was pushing. However, he did say at the time he would not overwhelm.
Starting point is 00:26:25 He was not forcing them to do something that they did not seem, I think was accurate. By the way, it was backed up by Anthony Fauci at the time. Fouchy said, no, we're not getting pressure from them. So what is it that's coming our way on the vaccines? By the way, a bigger story, Nate Silver, now Nate Silver, if you don't know who he is, that's 538.com. He's not a Republican. No. He's not a conservative. He's probably moderate left.
Starting point is 00:26:56 And he writes today that he now has evidence that the liberal public health elites pressured Pfizer to delay the fast track approval of COVID-19 until after the 2020 presidential election. What? That's an incredibly huge story. Again, people, you know, the vaccines have come, you know, have had an interesting road. Let's put it that way over the past couple of years. But at that time, there was essentially universal agreement that that would have been very good for his campaign, right? Politically speaking. But it was also universal.
Starting point is 00:27:37 I mean, remember, Biden, as they're pressuring Pfizer, don't. Don't release it. Don't release it. They're on the campaign trail saying, that's a pipe dream. That's not coming. And saying that it was probably dangerous if Trump had anything to do with it. I wouldn't take it if Trump has anything to do it. Kamala Harris said exactly that.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Here's another story I want you to read. All of this is in today's newsletter. Another story I want you to read today, why ethics must be at the heart of augmented reality from the World Economic Forum. You can find this at weforum.org or just get it on my newsletter. And it'll take you right to the site. but it has, you know, in bold print right at the top of the page, Help us prevent the spread of disinformation. This article has been intentionally misrepresented on sites that spread false information.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Please read the piece for yourself before sharing or commenting. Okay. So I did all of that. And I still have a problem with what they're talking about. They're talking about, oh, you have depression? Put a chip in your head. You want to learn how to do it? something different, you want to have better memory, put a chip in your head.
Starting point is 00:28:49 You can't hear things, you know, you don't need, you don't need hearing aids, but you're having a hard time in crowded rooms. You really want to focus, put a chip in your head. You got a problem with your, you know, bladder control, put a chip in your system. It's all about transhumanism. Now, you have to read this yourself, but from a group, the World Economic Forum, that in their own propaganda piece trying to sell you the Great Reset, in that piece called Welcome to 2030, where they say, you'll owe nothing and you'll be happy, they also say, You know, one of the downsides is, you know, everything I say, everything I think, everywhere I go. Even my dreams are monitored.
Starting point is 00:29:50 But it's worth it. You know, from the people who are telling me this, no, no, no. This is such an evil plan, such an evil plan. It's easy to see why people would go, oh, oh yeah, Mark of the best. beast. It's an evil plan on what they're doing. No. They're for it. I'm against it. California, by the way, yesterday, so they're going to ban the sales of new gas powered cars by 2035. That means probably a dozen states will follow that because they operate under California's emissions regulations. That's even less important, though, than the fact that the car companies will all go
Starting point is 00:30:37 along with it because they want to sell cars in California. Right. They're not going to be making new cars that, I mean, very few. To be fair, they've already said 2030. 2030 or 2035 for no more gas powered cars anyway. But like, I've talked to people in the auto industry. I've talked to people who follow this stuff closely who say, you know, that is what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:30:59 But like when we get closer to it, if people still want gas powered cars, there's a good chance that they don't do that. Well, no, they won't. But with ESG standards and this. with ESG standards that's not going to happen. This locks them in, right? Well, yes, it locks them in, but also it does something else. The ESG standards are making sure there is no oil.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Gasoline at 2035 at this rate will be $60 a gallon. They will make it so rare that you will not be able to ever afford gasoline. It's interesting because they, you know, look, Elon Musk has proven, I think, that you can have an electric car that is nice and works well and has all sorts of limitations, but a lot of people really enjoy. I have a friend who has a Tesla and he really likes it. You know, he doesn't drive that much, but he really likes it. He doesn't have to drive long distances, but, you know, for him, it works, right? It's plausible. But there is absolutely no suggestion from anyone to cover heavy industrial equipment, for example.
Starting point is 00:32:05 No. Farm Corby. For, you know, industrial process heating, right? These are functions that only come from fossil fuels. There is no electric equivalent. There's nothing on the horizon. I know Elon Musk has like a few electric powered trucks, but they're nowhere near ready to be widespread.
Starting point is 00:32:28 They're not even for sale at this point. I mean, there's all sorts of things that fossil fuels do outside of powering cars. You have to view everything. Remember I said years ago, the operative word will be chaos. You have to view everything that is being done through the lens of, I want chaos. Because chaos allows the system to collapse on its own weight. And then if I have the power, I reshape the globe. That is exactly what is happening.
Starting point is 00:33:03 and people keep arguing as if this is a Republican Democrat thing. Why are they saying the same things in Europe, in France, in Germany, in Italy, in England, in Japan? We're all having the same conversations because it is a global effort. This is about are we going to be a local community or control? by a federal government. And that federal government, is it going to be a national government, or will it be controlled by stakeholders in the world, in a new global government? That's what this is about.
Starting point is 00:33:50 That's what this is about. This is Robin Hood. Your Robin Hood, they are the Sheriff of Nottingham. That's what it's about. They will get rich from you. you will do the work. They will take the cash. By the way, here's another story in today's newsletter.
Starting point is 00:34:11 From the Guardian, insects could give meaty taste to food and help environment scientists find. How many bug-related food stories? Does somebody know something that you don't know? Because I do know what they know. Do you know? Get rid of meat. Get rid of cattle. Which brings me to the next story.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Did you see that California is telling the ranchers to stop taking water for agriculture? I mean, I think you shut down everything else. Everything else before you stop watering plants that grow food. Today's news is maybe it's going to be eye open. Maybe that's what I feel. I don't know. Something about today's news. Maybe if you just read that newsletter, just read the stories.
Starting point is 00:35:17 They're not from me. It's just the news that I went out and gathered and my producers gathered. We do it every day, 21 hours between shows. That's the number one job of everybody that works for me. Go find the stories that are out there that people aren't talking about that should be. They need to be aware of these things. Maybe that's it. Because when you look at it, it is overwhelming on what's being built.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Next hour, I'm going to get into, I just did a special last night on how out of control the FBI is. And I've got new news today that is just as bad as what I showed you last night. and it's facts. This is not coming from, you know, you know, green earth.org. These are facts that we now know. I'll piece it together for you. Next hour.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Stand by. If you're a renter right now, I bet you've noticed something happening. Your rent costs over the past couple of years, in short, are going up. I bet you're paying way more now than you were before lunchbox Joe got into office. Why is that?
Starting point is 00:36:38 Well, because landlords couldn't hold rent. They were told, nope, nope, they don't have to pay rent. Well, they want to make their money back now because they were put into tight pinches. And they know they can get it because nobody can afford houses. Why? Because 25% of all American homes that have been sold have been purchased by companies like BlackRock. So anyway, if you're not having problems with rent yet, you will. Maybe it's time to move past that problem and look into finally investing in a house.
Starting point is 00:37:17 I know it's a big step. And we're at a point where your rent payment is as high or higher than a mortgage payment. It makes sense. Now, the interest rates are at about 5% right now, but I have to tell you, it will only spell the end of the economy, end of the dollar, if they lower these interest rates.

Starting point is 00:38:17 The grindback program. All America. It is my job to keep tabs of the news, and I think more and more it's to keep tab of the news so you don't have to. But there is so much going on. I urge you to listen to the podcast and read our work and join us at the blaze. Things are changing. You know, Charlie Chris yesterday said he doesn't want any votes from DeSantis supporters.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Listen to this. Quote, those who support the governor should stay with him and vote for him. I don't want your vote. If you have that hate in your heart, keep it there. I want the vote of the people who care about our state. Oh my gosh. He then says, this guy is anti-democracy. I'll be pro-democracy.
Starting point is 00:39:24 And then what's on his list? On his list of to-dos is to issue an executive order to reverse the legislation on abortions. Ron DeSantis and the Republicans got through the House and the Senate and the governor signed it.
Starting point is 00:39:48 That is the Democratic process. He got it passed that there is a 15 week ban. So after 15 weeks you can't abort the child. That is still
Starting point is 00:39:59 longer than France. Okay? Europe. They don't wait that long. It's still longer than France. what does Chris say he'll do? He'll sign an executive order.
Starting point is 00:40:14 I don't know about you, but I mean, I think we're going to, we are going to have a constitutional convention because we have to have one. We have to have a constitutional convention. But one thing I'd like to get rid of is the executive order. These are out of control. Everything that is happening now is through executive order. and the reason why you can't you don't understand what's in these bills is because we don't pass separate bills anymore. We pass these enormous bills with all kinds of stuff hidden inside of them.
Starting point is 00:40:52 That's got to stop because we have to have the Congress and the Senate make laws and we have to stop the administration from growing out of control through executive orders. And if you remember right, I had a problem with it when Donald Trump was doing it. You don't run the country on executive orders. The Glenn Back program. Strive Asset is really important. This is Vivek Ramishwami's company. It just launched its energy index firm to go up against groups like Black Rock State Street Vanguard.

Starting point is 00:43:25 Welcome to the program. Last night, I began to tell you just how bad the FBI is on this Trump Marlago thing and what they were really looking for. Well, I've got some updates for you as well today. And some new FBI whistleblowers are out. Isn't that great? By the way, Jared Kushner also joins us on. today's program. I really want to talk to him about what I think is the greatest accomplishment that nobody talks about. Peace in the Middle East. Couldn't be done. Little Mr. Short Pants,
Starting point is 00:43:59 Kushner going in. What expertise does he have? Yet he got it done. And now we're ignoring it, and the world eventually will weep. We begin with the FBI in 60 seconds. Been talking to for a long time about inflation and how bad it's been, how bad it's likely to get as we move forward. It is going to get bad. This bill that, not bill.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Remember the days when we used to pass bills. The executive order that the president unveiled yesterday is going to what? Give money that people didn't have
Starting point is 00:44:43 and take it from others. You'll pay higher taxes if you had a loan. You're not getting it forgiven. I'm paying for it. Okay, somebody pays for it. And then the good news is we'll all pay for it again in the hell of inflation. Anyway, I digress. Please, please, please.

Starting point is 00:45:29 Americanfinancing.compancing.compancing.compancing, nmLS1-282334. www.mLS consumer access.org. So I want to go to a very important piece of audio that. I think should live in infamy. This is Merrick Garland just a couple of days after the raid on Marlago. First, I personally approve the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. Second, the department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Third, let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the FBI and Justice Department agents and prosecutors. I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked. The men and women of the FBI and the Justice Department are dedicated patriotic public servants. Do you hear that? I want you to understand what he just said. Look, I made the decision. We went in, you know, we'll be telling you through leaks and other things that it was nuclear.
Starting point is 00:46:52 And then we'll back off of that one. That's why we're not going to make that official. We're just going to use the press to launder that lie. But I'm not going to hear it. How dare you? How dare you question the fidelity of the FBI? How dare you? You will not question.
Starting point is 00:47:13 I've heard that before somewhere. Let me think. Where did I hear it? It was kind of staticy when I heard. You feel not question. Yeah. I remember who used to say things like that. You will not.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Okay. All righty. Look, here's the thing. We now know the FBI lied to the FISA court so they could spy on Trump. campaign. We now know an FBI lawyer was found to have falsified evidence to make their case to spy on Trump's campaign. Let me say that again. An FBI agent went in, took a document, altered the document to say the exact opposite of what that document said and then gave it to a FISA court under oath and asked for the warrant so they could wire.
Starting point is 00:48:15 tap, listen in, and spy. That guy got a slap on the wrist. FBI employees were busted for trading gifts for leaked information. All of this stuff we know. Does everybody in the country know? Is everybody paying attention? Because I'm really not sure. Now, President Joe Biden has insisted that he said this last night.
Starting point is 00:48:48 I have zero advance notice of August 8. Zero. Z.E. Shue. Zero information. Really? Okay. You didn't know anything?
Starting point is 00:49:07 Really? Nothing. I find that really hard to believe. Well, not with Joe Biden. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Is it putting time? I absolutely believe he has no.
Starting point is 00:49:18 recollection of anything. Mr. President, we just briefed you just a few minutes ago. Am I going to play tennis? Oh my gosh. But I don't believe that no one in the White House, that doesn't make any sense. I didn't have any advanced notice, none, zero, not a single bit, zero. Okay. Well, now there's a newly released letter.
Starting point is 00:49:47 came out yesterday, President Joe Biden, knew Attorney General Merrick Garland had authorized the FBI raid on Donald Trump's Marlago's home, White House officials. They spun that the president and his staff had no clue. No clue.
Starting point is 00:50:03 But it turns out they enabled and at least knew about the ongoing investigation. And it gets worse. Now public, May 10th letter to Team Trump from acting national archivist Deborah Stiddle. notes that the president's counsel had told her, quote,
Starting point is 00:50:22 President Biden defers to my determination on respecting your claim of executive privilege in retaining various documents and that she had decided not to honor those claims. So that means somebody went and said, hey, he's got all these documents. We need to get them. Now, this is a year later. Why all of a sudden? Well, last night I showed you.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Oh, my gosh. Oh, we forget. Oh, we forget about Trump fighting back. We forget that he has a court case against all of the people that smeared him, defamed him, and cost him the presidency. Anyone related in this Russia gate crap? And he has the documents. And he filed them, lo and behold, after he files this in court, and he says he's going to release them to the public, all of a sudden, the government's very interested to see
Starting point is 00:51:22 what he has. So the FBI went to the president and said, hey, we need to get these. Are you going to enforce executive privilege? No, no. Now, here's where it gets really, really bad. according to that ever, forever, relentless right-wing newspaper the New York Times.
Starting point is 00:51:54 They reported that Biden has been telling his aides that he wants Garland to indict Trump quote for something. Huh. Wow. So you know who the criminal is. You just need to find the crime.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Hmm. Hmm. That doesn't sound good, does it? Now, multiple FBI whistleblowers, including those in senior positions, according to Senator Grassley's office, are raising the alarm about tampering by senior FBI and Justice Department officials in politically sensitive investigations running from election and campaign finance probes. across multiple election cycles. Prior to 2020, the presidential campaign, some of the content of a laptop belonging to Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, became public. It appeared to show damaging information. But the media and the FBI and the DOJ and, oh, I've been the head of CIA for a while now, so I know.
Starting point is 00:53:15 I know a fake when I see one. although I didn't see it, but I can tell you right now, all of us in the intelligence world, we know that came from Russia. Really? By the way, Utah, you've got to throw Mike Lee out and get yourself a good CIA agent. You know, a good CIA operative to be there because he's going to clean up the government. Oh, yeah. No, you trust the CIA.
Starting point is 00:53:42 No, that's going to be good. All of these people, we're in on it. Now listen to the latest. After the FBI, according to whistleblowers, after the FBI obtained the Hunter Biden laptop from the Wilmington Delaware computer shop, the whistleblowers stated that local FBI leadership told employees, you will not look at the Hunter Biden laptop. The FBI is not going to change the outcome of this election again.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Huh. I hope you understand that. the longer your office stands on the sidelines and delays investigating the FBI's actions, the harder it will be for you to uncover the truth and hold individuals accountable for wrongdoing. The FBI is dirty. The FBI, the IRS, are entering, remember, both of those were started by Woodrow Wilson. Both of those. We don't want a federal police force.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Okay, the FBI, the DOJ, the ATF, why is it that when the IRS apparently needs to kick down a door, why do they have their own SWAT team? The federal government should coordinate with the state. This is a federal police force. Right now, we have a Gestapo. Now, I know that that is, I know that's heated to say that. But just let me ask you a couple of questions. What is the Gestapo?
Starting point is 00:55:47 The Gestapo was started as a good thing. The German people thought at the beginning it was a good thing. And they're wearing snappy uniforms too. So the Gestapo was given vast resources, vast investigatory, powers because they had to find the enemies of the state. I think that's what we have in the FBI. The Gestapo spied on mail and phone calls. Well, they're now lying to FISA courts so they can do the same.
Starting point is 00:56:27 Our post office has been drafted in to the intelligence agencies. The Gestapo had power to render anyone and anyone. enemy of the state. Speak up at the school board. What are you? Vote for the wrong person. What are you? By the way, enemy of the state, here's the list of characteristics that are being used by the FBI to identify an individual, especially anyone who disagrees with the government, as potential domestic terrorists.
Starting point is 00:57:12 You might be a domestic terrorist in the eyes of the FBI and its network. if you express libertarian philosophies. That can be in a statement or a bumper sticker. Exhibit Second Amendment-oriented views, NRA or gun club membership. Read survivalist literature, including apocalyptic fictional books. Show signs of self-sufficiency. You stockpile food, ammo, hand tools, medical supplies. If you fear an economic collapse, if you buy gold or barter items, if you subscribe to religious views concerning the book of revelation, my gosh, this is evil.
Starting point is 00:57:59 If you voice fears about big brother or big government, if you expound about constitutional rights and civil liberties, if you believe in a New World Order conspiracy. I don't say this with joy I never thought I would say this but the FBI and the intelligence departments the IRS
Starting point is 00:58:39 they are not good they are becoming a threat to the American people and the Congress better act. We vote you guys in.
Starting point is 00:59:02 You better act. Pass a bill so when you get the Senate, it can be passed in the Senate. You've got to defund these military-style organizations. And if you don't believe me that it's military style, wait, I'll give you some new information you probably haven't heard anywhere next. Okay, so, I mean, look, you're already on a list. You're probably on a dozen list. So we'll say hi to each other as we pass each other into Yard. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:59:34 If you haven't been stockpiling up on food and anticipating of the coming shortages, it's really time for you to consider getting started. Inflation is crazy. Who knows what other crazy things are going to happen in the coming months. We're headed for energy shortages, food shortages all around the world. I mean, God, help us. is it insane to think we could be at war with Russia next year? I don't.
Starting point is 01:00:01 I think anybody who said, that's impossible. How do you? Really? But even if it is just inflation, please call my Patriot Supply today. They're having the biggest sale they've ever had. $250 off their three-month emergency food kit.
Starting point is 01:00:22 Unlike the companies out there that sell food, that you store. These guys are in the fight with you. This is a company that has started to make their own food because they saw the food that you were being sold was garbage. And that's why they got into it about 2007. And now they are the number one company, I think, in the world. Now, this is a limited time offer. I'm urging you take advantage of this now.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Prepare with glend.com. Grab three-month emergency food kit for $250 off the regular price. Good news is your little spy of a postman won't know it's emergency food, okay? Because it's an unmarked box. Used to be because you didn't want your neighbors to know. Now you don't want the mailman to know. Preparewithglen.com. That's prepare with glen.com.
Starting point is 01:01:11 10 seconds. Station ID. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So let me just give you a little update. You know, put it in perspective what our government is doing. doing. The IRS just was handed funding that would allow them to hire 87,000 new agents. If you've ever watched a Dallas Cowboys football game, the sold out standing room only crowd in the Dallas Cowboys Stadium is 80,000. So that means there's 7,000 IRS agents waiting
Starting point is 01:02:05 outside of Dallas Cowboys Stadium. I, uh, do you know that the 26 agencies from under the president? 26, not law enforcement agencies. I'm talking about the, the small business administration.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Okay. They spent 110.6 million dollars on guns, ammo and military, uh, style equipment. Okay. 27 law enforcement agencies spent 800 million on guns and ammo. So that's FBI Border Patrol ICE, the Marshal Service, the ATF, DHS. They spent 800 million, but the Veterans Affairs, the IRS, the executive office to the president,
Starting point is 01:02:57 the Social Security Administration, uh, Noah, the climate cops. they spent $110 million. And if you want to, I mean, why is the Department of Commerce arming up? Why is the food and nutrition service arming up? The Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Why? As they are trying to disarm us, why does the USDA, why are they arming up right now? I don't have the answer that would make anyone feel better.
Starting point is 01:03:40 But we have got to get out and vote this November. And don't just vote. If that mealy-mouth Republican is like, well, you know, I'm going to sign a bill about a flag-burning amendment. If they don't get it, get them out. The Glenn Back program. 9-11, 2,97 people were killed in horrific terrorist attacks on American soil. And we all vowed that we would never forget. Well, one organization kept that promise, and they have done amazing things.
Starting point is 01:04:24 It's Tunnel to Towers Foundation. They've been supporting America's heroes and their families ever since. So when a first responder or a military service member doesn't come home and young children are left behind, when daddy, the police officer, goes out and is shot by, some bum that should have been in jail. Tunnel to Towers pays off the mortgage to lift the financial burden and bring the family back to some sort of stable place. I want you to check out Tundle to Towers and it's so important that we continue to be charitable because it's going to get harder and harder and we must open our hearts and do good every day.

We're so glad that you're here. I'm going to go through some of the stories that we're just not going to have time to hit. And honestly, in today's show throughout, I'm hitting about maybe 40% of the news that you will find in my daily show prep newsletter. This is, I don't think anybody has ever done it to this detail before. I just, it's raw news. And it is what I read every morning, what my staff,
Starting point is 01:06:14 all of my producers work on for 21 hours. After a show, We began show prepping immediately for the next day show. And about six months ago, I just felt that the news was so important. And I couldn't get it all into the show. And you might miss something I hit in, you know, hour one or hour three or whatever. So we released it after much debate. And you can get it now at glenbeck.com. It is free.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Just sign up for it. I'm using about 40% of what's in that newsletter today is on the program today. But let me just give you some, let me just give you some of the highlights because I think today, for some reason, after going through all of it, I thought this today is different. There's something different about the news and I haven't been able to put my finger on it. It feels like the most important news day of my life, of my career. but that's not quite right. And I don't know what it is. But maybe you can figure it out.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Let me give you some of the stories. Atlanta police identify a man accused of defacing rainbow crosswalks with swastikas. So, of course, they arrested this white Nazi. Oh, no, he's not a white Nazi. He's a black nationalist. He has an account online where he talks. openly about killing people and how blacks are the master race. The vandalism, of course, when they were.
Starting point is 01:07:57 It's got to be white nationalists that are doing, probably white Christian nationalists. No, it wasn't. Some of his posts make reference to a master race of black people. Other posts are religious in nature. He targets Jehovah Witnesses for portraying biblical figures as white. You know, he is, he's not a well man, but he's also black. Biden has announced yesterday another $3 billion in arms for Ukraine. My research staff is working right now.
Starting point is 01:08:33 There is something very wrong with the money that we're sending over there. There's something very wrong. And I think old scores are being settled, old political scores. Remember, this was the playground. of George Soros, of Hillary Clinton, of Barack Obama, of Joe and Hunter Biden. This was a funnel of money that's just been lost. We've sent over there, and this is, you know, 10 years ago. Just lost.
Starting point is 01:09:06 Don't know what happened. Where did I put that $1.8 billion? I just can't find it. Did I leave it in my other suit? And I don't have any evidence now, but I have a feeling. if you want to start looking up some things, if you're good at being an investigative mole, but I'm telling you something's really wrong there.
Starting point is 01:09:26 The Biden administration has now moved to formalize DACA to protect 600,000 migrants from any kind of legal challenge. By the way, we're up to 4 million people that have come into the United States under his watch. Also, Biden has now moved to fund Canadian mines while blocking U.S. mining. That great? Love that. It's good for Canada. Mexican journalist was killed hours after publishing a story about local officials' involvement
Starting point is 01:10:00 in the disappearance of 43 students in 2014. These buses filled with these students was found just shot all up. We know that they were surrounded by police. they came in for some reason they just opened fire on these buses and then the bodies were gone kids were gone what happened no investigation
Starting point is 01:10:26 until this guy starts to question and he publishes something online he's killed within a couple of hours Spotify now this is interesting Spotify spends how much $100 million on Joe Rogan wasn't that what it was
Starting point is 01:10:43 what it was reported as I think it You know, a lot of reports that it was even more than that. Okay. So let's just say it's a hundred million. That's a lot of money for a company. Their biggest investment when it comes to podcasting. By far. By far.
Starting point is 01:10:56 Did you know that Spotify now as they started looking into this never recommends the Joe Rogan podcast? That's like watching ABC and they say, tonight, it's a new episode of your favorite show on NBC. Oh, and we're running this stuff too. Well, they're not advertising. They are not suggesting it. He's cut out of the algorithm. Washington Post, a rape survivor,
Starting point is 01:11:33 a rape survivor, says the Washington Post, falsely ascribed to me the view that the court's decision in Dobbs, the abortion case, to open the door of forced sterilizations by removing constant constitutional protections for women's bodily autonomy was false.
Starting point is 01:11:56 My position is in fact the opposite. She was raped as a 13-year-old girl and then sterilized against her will by the state of North Carolina after bringing her baby to term. We're still doing progressive sterilizations? Why is that happening? I thought we stopped that in the 1920s and 30s. By the way, so you know, the Germans didn't come up with it. We did. We taught eugenics to them.
Starting point is 01:12:36 Literally, the top eugenicists in the world were in America. And they made a journey over to Germany to explain to all of the very sophisticated German progressive scientists, what could be done through eugenics? They learned that from us. Judicial Watch, a great organization that really, if you can help an organization, they are really good. They just filed a FOIA lawsuit against the National Archives for hiding the records tied to the raid on Trump's home. and yet another senseless murder.
Starting point is 01:13:26 A progressive George Soros prosecutor in Virginia dropped charges against a felon with a history of gun charges. Now, I can guarantee you, if you're caught on a gun charge, or I'm caught on a gun charge, they will throw away the key. But this guy, was a felon with a history of gun charges.
Starting point is 01:13:55 He was let out. He was freed by the Soros prosecutor. Well, he didn't use his time well. Francis Rose shot two innocent bystanders in the head while robbing an apartment complex in Alexandria, Virginia. By the way, Alexandria of Virginia used to be a pretty safe place. It's right across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. It used to be a place where you didn't fear for your life.
Starting point is 01:14:36 At some point, this is all the gods of the copy book headings, that the truth will return. It has to. The question is, how much of everything will it burn down in our quest to reestablish it? it. Because everything we're doing now, the Constitution never foresaw any of this, any of this. Because this is all insanity. I mean, literally, we have gone insane. We will be remembered as the craziest.
Starting point is 01:15:27 And God, please destroy us before we can use our technology. please destroy us. If we're not careful, we will become the darkest nation ever. We will go from the shining city on the hill to with our modern technology in the hands of the wrong people. We'll kill millions, hundreds of millions. We will make Mao look like a rookie. And I fear that's already happening in some of our population. policies, but right now they're not our policies.
Starting point is 01:16:09 They're going to be blamed on America, but it is the World Economic Forum and their policies. And it's so important for you to know that this is not an American problem. Yes, we're dealing with it here, but every Western country in the world is dealing with it as well. That's why you see protest. and that's why you're not being shown the protests. Have you ever lived in a time where there have been massive protests in Europe and you don't see them on the news? Why is that, I wonder?
Starting point is 01:16:49 Because they don't want you to see what they're facing because they're ahead with the farmers. They're ahead of us. And what the farmers are saying now is none of this works. You're going to starve all of Europe and the world to death if you continue down this world. Because we cannot farm that way. They don't want you seeing that. You have to actually go search for it.
Starting point is 01:17:18 So do. Just look up European protests, farmers, and see the truth of what these policies that have now been given. power and teeth through the inflation reduction act. The EPA has been given the power, the money, and the teeth to enforce this now on our farmers. Read all about these things. Every day you can find my newsletter at glenbeck.com.

I think he will go down in history, as will, his father-in-law, Donald Trump, as pulling off one of the most amazing, honestly, miracles ever. I mean, the... What are you talking about the... Abraham Accords.
Starting point is 01:20:46 Yeah. I mean, especially how. He was demeaned by the media for having control of anything. How could you put the Middle East in control of Jared Kushner? And, you know, never was, there was never any credit given to the Trump administration for what happened there. But they canceled it right as soon as they got in. They just, screw that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:08 Moving the embassy? How about that? Remember, that was supposed to cause some major world war. And we were all, none of that happened. totally ignored. You know why? He just wasn't, I'm going to ask him, but he wasn't thinking like a State Department member.
Starting point is 01:21:25 Everybody else has been educated through the Council of Foreign Relations, and then they go into the State Department after they've been in college and universities, and they all think alike. He didn't. He didn't. And he's got a new book out. And it's fascinating. That particular part, especially.
Starting point is 01:21:45 It's fascinating how they viewed the Middle East in a completely different way. They viewed it as a business thing. And it changed everything. It's like we didn't look at it as countries. We looked at it as business. It's fascinating. It's exactly what people wanted out of the Trump administration when it started. I mean, at least there, it played heavy, heavy dividends.

That and Jared Kushner, a guy who's actually quietly done a hell of a lot of stuff and really never got credit for him for it. He's got a new book out really, really good. I mean, it's, well, I'm going to ask him a couple of questions
Starting point is 01:25:33 that are in the book. You have to read the book. How did Jared Kushner become the guy who cracked the Middle East Peace Accords? Jared Kushner joins me in 60 seconds.

Starting point is 01:26:51 from Saturday Night Live? And now sitting in my little Cushball, Jared Kushner. You're unbelievable. Jared, I've sent you all around the world to represent me. No one's ever heard you speak. You're like a little Jewish Amelie. You know, it's amazing in the time that guy went on to shoot somebody on the set and kill him, Alec Baldwin, which I didn't see coming. And also, I don't think people saw coming the Abrahamic Accords. Jared Kushner joins us now and his new book that is Outbreaking History, a White House memoir. Hello, Jared. How are you? doing great. Thank you for having me and thank you for reminding me of that that SNL skit. That was quite funny.
Starting point is 01:27:45 I mean, they really hammered you. At one point, they put you in little short pants and I don't know about you. I think you, but based on that response, feel the same way. When they first started mocking me on Saturday Live, I thought, wow, I've made it somehow or another. Even if they're making fun of you, that's great, even better. But how everybody said, Jared Kushner, how could you pass? the police I've been trying to crack this code for 80 years now. And yet you did.
Starting point is 01:28:15 Can you talk a little bit about what you write about in the book, about how you crack that? Well, it was definitely a challenge that when we got involved, it was, I better know, maybe they thought I couldn't make it any worse than all the professionals who'd worked on it for decades before. But what I did was I went there, and I write about this extensively in my book, how my first year was really spent just listening. I was meeting with all the different leaders, and I was asking them questions, which they actually had a hard time processing at first, because they were so used to not having these questions asked, which is America has so much power to influence things,
Starting point is 01:28:53 and we've done some things that actually have made this region much worse. If you were in my shoes, what would you be doing? And finally, it got to really interesting conversations, and I listened to everyone's point of view. And I really realized that peace is about the future. And then you have to get people to focus on their joint interests. Let's put everyone on the same side of the table. And then there were certain patterns that became very clear to me that were contrary to what all the conventional wisdom was. And there's one example I given the book where I was meeting with one of the great foreign policy academics who's well respected. And I laid out for him my approach.
Starting point is 01:29:29 And I said, well, do you think I have a chance of succeeding? And he said, absolutely not. And I said, why so negative? He said, Jared, nobody's made any money betting on success in the Middle East in the last 25 years. So I like that you're bringing new ideas, but you just have no chance of being successful. But ultimately, I think by building strong relationships, by thinking outside the box, again, I write a lot in this book about President Trump and my interactions with him and my interactions with all the world leaders. We took a fresh approach. We tried to be empirical.
Starting point is 01:29:56 We tried to be pragmatic. We saw things for what they were. And again, we were ruthlessly criticized for the approach we took in the Middle East up until it worked. So in the book you talked about David Freeman, and he's a band. bankruptcy lawyer in Manhattan. And he suggested, and you guys decided to use, to look at the Israeli Palestinian conflict like a bankruptcy. So can you explain that? And is it that you guys were not, you know, counsel, foreign relations, years and years at the State Department that you came from a business background and had a totally fresh set of eyes? You have to always look at a situation and put
Starting point is 01:30:38 yourself in the other people's shoes and try to figure out what are the fulcrum components that are driving a situation and so when we look at the situation you know you couldn't equate the israelis and the palestinians one was a democracy one was a kleptocracy one had a super powerful military one was basically you know just just kind of a that it was it was kind of a con job at some point and so we saw it for what it was and we weren't trying to be balanced we were trying to be honest and And I think that that really was distorting for a lot of people. So we saw that the whole Palestinian situation was they got billions of dollars of aid. It was never conditions-based.
Starting point is 01:31:15 And we basically said, like, you know, U.S. foreign aid is not an entitlement. If we're going to give you this money, we want to see certain things happen. And so we worked very hard over a couple of years to do certain things. And again, I give President Trump tremendous credit for what he did because when he moved the embassy, I take people into the situation room and how he had opposition from Secretary of state, Secretary of Defense, the Intel community said World War III would occur. And what he basically did was he calibrated all the different advice. He made a very measured decision, decided to go forward with it, despite the advice of everyone that it was going to cause war, he tasked me with reaching
Starting point is 01:31:49 out to all the different leaders and saying, look, you know, don't, you can't cherry pick your relationship with America. We're helping you with Iran. We're helping you with military. We're helping you with economy. You know, don't mess around with this. And so he made the decision. Everyone said the world was going to end. And then what happened was the next morning, the sun rose, the next evening the sunset, and life moved on, and it was done. And the same thing happened with the Iran deal. So President Trump was starting to realize that certain variables that people thought were fixed, were actually fluid. And I give many examples in the book of these interactions and how we moved around all these different elements in order to create the opportunity for people to see
Starting point is 01:32:23 the Israeli-Palestinian issue for what it really was, and to see that it really was about leadership trying to stay in power so they could maintain the flow of that they had and they had no interest in making the lives of their people better. I believe that the job of a leader is number one to keep their people safe and number two to give them an environment where they can have opportunity to better their lives and their children's lives and have hope and and excitement for the future. And the Palestinian leadership was was not doing that. In your book, we're talking to Jared Kushner in his book, Breaking History, a White House memoir. you you talk about one of the things that you were doing was and totally makes sense you united
Starting point is 01:33:03 the Middle East because you recognized the common foe was Iran and that kind of brought people together and and when your dad or when your father-in-law the president got out of the Iran you know the stupid dangerous Iran peace deal that made a difference. How much of a role did that play? And what does it mean that we are sitting down at the table with Iran now? So the first deal in 2014 was probably one of the worst transactions ever done. It may be in the history of diplomacy.
Starting point is 01:33:45 And it just made absolutely no sense. Iran was on a glide path to a nuclear weapon. They had gotten $150 billion in funds that were basically now they were using to, to fund Hezbollah, Hamas, all these different people. They were chanting death to America, death to Israel. It made absolutely no sense. But what it did is it kind of scared the crap out of all of the Arab countries to say, okay, this could be that bad.
Starting point is 01:34:07 And actually, when we got there, they were starting to rebuild their relationship with China and saying, look, our, you know, when, when did the deal of Persia, we were thinking we had to teach our kids Chinese because America was not dependable anymore. And we said, wait, guys, wait, wait a minute, calm down here. These relationships that we've had with you guys have been long. standing many, many decades. We agree that what happened here was terrible, but let's figure out a rational policy. And what we did is we imposed sanctions on Iran. We took their oil exports down from 2.6 million barrels a day to 100,000. We really dissected their economy. And they were
Starting point is 01:34:42 out of foreign currency reserves and we stopped. And what Trump, you say, about Iran, is that they never won a war, but they've never lost a negotiation. And so he figured out how to really create a better condition than what we inherited. And we really tried to give the incoming administration a much stronger hand, which was only buttressed by the fact that we had Iraq much more stable than when we got there. ISIS Caliphate was was eliminated. And now we had the Abraham Accords. So all the way from Haifa, our goal is to try to create a place of security from Haifa to Muscat in Amman and then get economic connectivity between it all to basically show the Iranian people that there would be the opportunity for you to live a better life if you join into this. So instead of follow
Starting point is 01:35:22 Again, we had six piece deals in the last six months. I write about how we made those occur. Instead, the administration runs and goes back to Iran on their knees, begging to make the old stupid deal. And so it makes no sense to me. But again, I think that what you'll see in this book is that we came with an outsider's perspective. We tried to bring common sense.
Starting point is 01:35:41 And again, we really broke the mold on a lot of issues and did things contrary to what people who were the conventional thinkers in Washington did and why they did those things for decades before we got there. I didn't understand why they're going back to some of these things. Now that we've seen that these policies that were different are working, it makes absolutely no sense. We are going to be short on time. So there are so many questions I'd like to ask you.
Starting point is 01:36:06 For instance, you know if you would have thrown in bad stuff about President Trump, you would have made a fortune and the left would have loved you and left you alone. And you didn't do it. Congratulations. Yeah, I've learned that the love of the left is something that is, it's not worth what people think it is. I see people contorting themselves and saying certain things that they don't believe or not saying certain things that they believe. But the left has no loyalty. They turn on you in a second.
Starting point is 01:36:40 And I think it's much better to say the truth. And look, I do think that being in the White House, I saw so much information asymmetry in terms of how we recovered, what we did. But again, there was two currents in this book that I tried to capture happening at the same time. One was that we run to relentless attacks being accused of collusion with Russia and treason, and then impeached for trying to investigate corruption in Ukraine and attacked by the media. And I tried to show what it was like living through all of that while also getting all these things done, right? When President Trump, you know, in office we had inflation was low, gas prices were low, wages were rising, the wealth gap was shrinking. We had peace in Europe.
Starting point is 01:37:20 We had peace with China. We were making great deals. We had them on their back foot. And that didn't all happen by accident. And so I tried to take people inside the room in the trade deals, the negotiations with President Putin, the negotiations with King Salman, the negotiations with President Xi, and how Trump used his unusual style in order to achieve these outcomes. And at the end of the day, I find a lot of my friends who on the left, they hyperventilate
Starting point is 01:37:44 over different things that Trump will say or how they perceive it. But I think that results matter, and I want people to understand how those results were achieved. And it's been very disheartening for me to watch how, again, you put the government bureaucrats back in charge, and inflation is rising. We have a war in Europe. China's being provocative with Taiwan. North Korea is firing off weapons. I write in here about how Trump was able to create the relationship with Kim Jong-un and going to the DMZ, how he walked into North Korea. Nobody knows how that came about and how it almost didn't happen many, many times.
Starting point is 01:38:19 And so I wanted people to really understand how he did the things and why him being the way he is empowered by and working with the right people around him and enabled him to accomplish so much. Your book is fascinating. And it really is a thriller. All of the things you just laid out, it is, it's a thriller. Let me ask you one thing, because there's parts of the book that get very, very personal. and one of my favorite parts is when you talk about your grandma, and we've only got about two minutes. Your grandmother was 16 when the Nazis invaded Poland.
Starting point is 01:38:59 Your family went from ghettos to mansions in three generations, which is remarkable. Can you talk a little bit what your grandmother went through and how that affected you with the Abrahamic Accords? Sure. So my grandparents were both in, in Belarus and then the Nazis came in. My grandmother, I write about how in her town they took 50 of the educated Jews. They shot them in the head, the Nazis, and then they made the young women,
Starting point is 01:39:26 like my grandmother, cleaned the blood off of the stones while they had other Jews playing instruments to celebrate it. It was a brutal experience. They joined the resistance fighters in the woods. They were out of a town of 10,250 that escaped. And then ultimately, they got married and hungry. They came over to America on a boat. I write about how my grandfather went to New Jersey. He was a carpenter. He said he was afraid of height so he couldn't work in the buildings in Brooklyn. So they said, go to New Jersey. They have shorter buildings there. And it's just an amazing American story. And so I try to take people through that very quickly. But I'll say that for me, you know, again, what I saw working in the White House going from, you know, the son of refugee,
Starting point is 01:40:06 the grandson of refugees is that America is an absolute amazing country. It's a place with an incredible opportunity. We have amazing people. And what President Trump tried to do with the administration was to allow for the American dream to be prevalent, allow for it to be deep, to give everyone an equal opportunity. And I think that's what our policies did. And for me to be able to work on the Abraham Accords as a grandchild of Holocaust survivors. And I talk about my interactions with the Germans where I was actually very disappointed with the lack of enthusiasm and the lack of engagement that they had with us, given that the whole plight that we still have in the Middle East, I explained how it really is a remnant of the post-World War II
Starting point is 01:40:46 anti-Semitism that existed because of the Holocaust and because of the Nazis. And so I just think that it was an amazing honor to do it. And I say it is an extraordinary story. And I really, you know, I believe that God has his hand in everything we do. I'm very, very big believer in that. And just very, very grateful for all these experiences. And again, a lot of it was very difficult. I write in the first year about how I had to adjust. I was surrounded by a lot of complicated people. but I go through the lessons I learned and I was trying to give people who have never served in Washington
Starting point is 01:41:17 who obviously have followed the Trump administration who follow politics a real insight into what it's like to serve in Washington what it's like to work in the White House and what it's like to kind of navigate and all the lessons I learned so that hopefully businessmen
Starting point is 01:41:30 will continue to go and serve in government so we don't have the career political class that often is trying to keep power as opposed to make people's lives better. Jared Kushner the name of the book is breaking history. If you don't know,
Starting point is 01:41:45 where have you been? He was a former senior advisor to President Trump. And this book is really a thriller to see from the inside what was going on and how they did the things
Starting point is 01:41:56 that they did. By the way, you were nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Please tell me you didn't lose it to like Greta Thurnberg. No, I lost it to a journalist who nobody's ever heard of
Starting point is 01:42:09 who did something, I guess. But I guess I, I guess they created more peace than we did. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy. It's, you know, the peace is the prize. And I see every day, I get, you know, people send me pictures of Israeli fruit being sold in Emirati supermarkets or of new flights or of new business deals being done. And really reuniting Israelis and Muslims.
Starting point is 01:42:31 It's just Jews and Muslims in the Middle East. It's such a beautiful thing. And so the dividends from this is paying forever in terms of the positivity that it's unleashed. Well, I think it was truly a miracle. I agree with you. God was in the center of that, and I can't thank you enough. Jared Kushner, author of the book, Breaking History. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:42:50 All right. In almost all cases, the secret to success in buying or selling a home is having the right real estate agent. It's not just as simple as having somebody who, you know, hey, I'm going to have an open house on Saturday. I'm going to invite all of the real estate agents or what they've, what is the, their plan? What is their advertising plan? And not for you, but for them. What is their website? How heavily is it trafficked? This is the way you sell a house. There are things that you need to do. And my company, real estate agents I trust, we go through these and we vet these real estate agents
Starting point is 01:43:29 like nobody's business. They are scrutinized and it's not like you're part of the team and then you're not scrutinized, we follow up to make sure that they are still hitting everything that they need to hit. Real estate agents, I trust.com. It is a free service to you. They don't work for me. They just, we recommend the right ones in our opinion. It's real estate agents, I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com. 10 seconds station ID. We got to have him back. I wanted to ask him, what do the people in the Middle East think of us now? And can we ever get that back? We keep pulling the rug out from one of them. From all of them.
Starting point is 01:44:21 After all of this worked and then we're back at the table with Iran and begging them for stuff. Yeah. And it was not just the people in the Middle East that didn't trust us. Now we're, tomorrow is the one year anniversary of screwing all of our allies in Afghanistan. I mean, how we recover from that one, I don't know. I don't think our reputation will ever recover from that. That's the biggest foreign policy catastrophe in my lifetime. It'll take at least a couple of presidents and being stable to be able to do that.
Starting point is 01:44:57 All right. We have some really good news about this one year anniversary. I'll share it with you in just a minute. So Henry wrote in about his experience with Relief Factory. He says, I was having periodical lower back spasms. Medications, therapy, nothing was helped. and in desperation I gave Relief Factor a try. He said, I love this.
Starting point is 01:45:28 To my surprise, it worked. I mean, I know that's the way I was too. This isn't going to work. You try it and you're like, what? Come on. I've tried everything. He said, I don't have any discomfort at all now for months. Thank you, Relief Factor.
Starting point is 01:45:43 Henry, thank you. Thanks for trying it. And that's all I'm asking. If you are in pain and you want to get your life back, don't settle for anything. but your life back. I know you've probably tried everything. 70% of the people who try this for three weeks go on to order more,

It was a year ago tomorrow that we betrayed the world and we betrayed our own values and we betrayed those who had helped us for so long to try to bring peace and decency to Afghanistan The world ignored the Taliban forever. Just kind of like we're doing again now.
Starting point is 01:47:16 While the atrocities just went on, then 9-11 woke us up, and then we started to nation build, which is always our Achilles heel. But in that time, women grew up free and not seen as just a woman who had to be covered head to toe. and couldn't go to school, couldn't do certain things, subject only to her husband. People are still trapped in that, but I want you to know what you've done. It's mainly because of this audience. Now, there were many other charitable groups that were down on the ground, etc., etc., but I believe we were the only ones that were flying people out.
Starting point is 01:48:08 So we wouldn't have been able to do it without them. they wouldn't have been able to do it without us. Do you know how many Oscar Schindler's there are now? If you donated to the Nazarene Fund a year ago, you are an Oscar Schindler. You saved lives and got them out. A year ago, I talked to two young ladies, Asma and her sister, Azuda.
Starting point is 01:48:37 Azuda was here in America, and her sister had come back, home to visit mom and dad. She was in, I'm trying to remember, not the Philippines. Well, she'll tell. She was getting an education and she was coming back home for the holiday. And she was walking the streets. And all of a sudden she saw the black flags start to fly and guys with guns.
Starting point is 01:49:07 The Taliban were back. And she escaped in a harrowing escape. Well, she's here in America now, thanks to you. Asma, welcome to the program. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you. You bet. You sound better than you did when I first talked to you after you first got here.
Starting point is 01:49:29 You sound happier and more at ease. Absolutely, I am. A lot of things changed in my life since last year, and it's changed in a good way, which I am really grateful to you. to everyone who donated to the Nazrin Fund. You guys are like really saved us. You saved me and you saved my family. And as you mentioned about the Oscar, the Schindler, you are, all of you are.
Starting point is 01:50:03 So thank you. You bet. Asma, I got a phone call. I'm trying to remember where I was. And I happen to be, I don't remember where it was, but I happen to be with David Barton, who is instrumental also in everything that happened. And we got a phone call and we were told her parents are in the United States. And it was this summer, I think, that they finally got here, wasn't it?
Starting point is 01:50:31 A couple months ago. Yes. They made it to United States in end of June, almost the beginning of July. Right. Yes. Yeah. And is it true? You haven't really seen them?
Starting point is 01:50:46 You met them, right? you just haven't seen them because you're now going to college. Yeah. Well, when they came to United States, they were in National Conference Center in Virginia and in a government facility. And the government was not allowing anyone to visit their families or their loved ones. So they didn't allow me to go and visit my parents. And then the government moved my parents to Philadelphia.
Starting point is 01:51:18 and it's quite far away from where I was living in Virginia, and I only made it, I traveled to Philadelphia one day, and I met my parents for a few hours. And then I had to come back to Virginia because I had to come and get ready to attend Virginia Tech. Yeah. I remember when we made the promise that we would get your family to America, and I thought at the time, geez, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:51:48 how we're going to do this. Your dad actually was heroic in his help with America, and we just abandoned and left him behind and your mom and your brother. And we really needed to get him out and wanted to. But man, it was unsure, especially in the last year with the Taliban. Things have gotten really bad again in Afghanistan, have they not? very brutal. It's very violent in Afghanistan. And unfortunately, because there is no free media in Afghanistan anymore, we are not hearing about these news around this part of the world. But there are a lot of brutality and violence that tolerance are doing. And you did a huge job, like the whole Nazan fan and the Mercury one. I mean, thank you so much, guys, for like, taking my parents out of Afghanistan safely, not my parents, but also my brother, which made my family out of Afghanistan safely. Yes, my father worked with the U.S. government for almost 17 years with the U.S. forces and the U.S. government, and he had an S.I.V.
Starting point is 01:53:10 But he would have never made it out of Afghanistan if it wasn't it for your persistent and your help and your kind of. and generosity and willingness to help people like my father. So thank you. You're more than welcome. You're so gracious. How are you doing in school? I'm doing good. It's been first week.
Starting point is 01:53:36 I'm getting saddled down, finding my courses. It's fantastic. I'm trying to remember where you were going to school. You were somewhere in Asia, if I remember right. And then you came back. home. Where were you? Studying in Bangladesh. In Asian University for women, yes.
Starting point is 01:54:00 And then how it started? How different is it from Afghanistan and Bangladesh? How different is Virginia Tech? Very different in a very positive way. There are many resources available in the campus that we can use to get our education and also get comfortable, successful during our time in the university and also to make sure that we are establishing a good career
Starting point is 01:54:39 after we graduate from Virginia Tech. So that's awesome. The other part is the campus, it's huge and it's big. It's quite a nice place. And people around here are very friendly. What do you want to do with your education? What do you want to be?
Starting point is 01:55:02 Right now I'm measuring in fintic and big data analytics. It's a mix of computer science, finance, and data science. And I am planning to, when I graduate from university, I'm planning to build a modern financial system for Afghanistan, for post-Toluban Afghanistan. And because right now, we do not have any financial system. The only financial system that is in use in Afghanistan is called Haolah, if anyone is familiar with it. It existed since its century and it's corrupted.
Starting point is 01:55:43 It's really corrupted. And it's not, the government do not have any control on it. They cannot tax it, nor they cannot. recorded or monitor it. Like anyone who wants can transfer money from outside the country to inside illegally and then distributed among their militia. This was one of the methods, the Taliban, or financing their terrorist group and how they became power in Afghanistan and managed to seize the control of the government.
