The Glenn Beck Program - It's Settled: Here’s the TRUE Fascistic Party | 8/30/22

Episode Date: August 30, 2022

Glenn and Stu expose the New York Times and some of its questionable ties. The Kamala Harris-backed Freedom Fund has a lousy track record of bailing out repeat offenders. Stu uses the textbook definit...ion of "fascism" to prove which political side is more fascistic. Over 100 pastors have sworn they will never shut down their churches again, using Acts 5:29 as their biblical basis. Glenn and Stu discuss the timeline to fight back against President Biden's loan forgiveness, which disproportionally helps government workers. An old Trump clip about Germany's eventual reliance on Russian energy has been proven accurate. Glenn and Stu discuss former President Trump's claim that the Hunter Biden laptop suppression was election interference. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Starting point is 00:02:17 I don't know. This is breaking news. Don't know if you've heard it. But the FBI has come out with a statement on Donald Trump, Whether they're going to indict or not, we get to that in 60 seconds. Sherry wrote in about her experience with relief factors. She says, I used to have a lot of problems with pain and my feet. I got to the point where I wasn't even able to walk normally.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Then I heard about relief factor and decided I would try it out. In a very short period of time, the pain went down so much I can now walk perfectly normal again. See, I have this problem too. I haven't been able to walk normally. My thighs are getting so big that I kind of, you know, go from side to side and sometimes I'll start a little brush firing between. It's, uh, it's not good. It's not good. I tried relief factor. It doesn't work on that kind of inflammation. I could just get the inflammation from all of the carbs down. I'd be set. Three week quick start.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Develop for you. 1995 dollar a day trial pack. Just try it. Thousands and thousands and thousands of people have tried it about 70% go on to order more. Just try it for three weeks. If it's working for you, If it's not, it's probably not going to work for you. So try the three-week trial pack. Relieffactor.com. Get your life back. 1-800, the number four relief. 1-800 for relief.
Starting point is 00:03:40 It's relieffactor.com. Feel the difference. All right. I don't know if you've heard the clip earlier today. The FBI came out and they have made a statement on whether the president is going to be indicted or not. on the secret documents that he apparently had. Here is the clip. Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes
Starting point is 00:04:07 regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Wow. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before deciding whether to bring charges. There are obvious considerations like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent. Responsible decisions also consider the context of a process. person's actions and how similar situations have been handled in the past. In looking back at our
Starting point is 00:04:35 investigations into the mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. Okay. All right. Oh, hang on just a second. That's from 2016. Oh, that was the Hillary. That was James Comey on Hillary. I'm sorry for that mistake. I saw that clip earlier and I thought this was sorry yes once again once again President Trump and his administration or sorry President Biden and his administration are correctamundo they have been saying to us that we should look for those very very dangerous Nazis well we have found the Nazis Free Lance filmmaker whose work has been featured by the New York Times praised Adolf Hitler in a 2012 Facebook post writing,
Starting point is 00:05:45 How Great You Are Hitler in Arabic. In a 2018 post, they shared a photo of himself with a caption translated to either, I'm in tune like Hitler during the Holocaust, or in a state of harmony. as Hitler was during the Holocaust. In a separate post, he referred to a Hamas rocket fire towards Israel as the resistance. Then we have freelance photographer Hossam Salem in 2014. He claimed the resistance captured a Zionist soldier. IDF soldier was later killed that same year. He mourned the death of a Hamas operative who happened to be.
Starting point is 00:06:32 tied to the deaths of four IDF soldiers and later expressed joy for the massacre of four rabbis and a police officer in Jerusalem. In 2015, after being hired by the Times, he called for more violence following an attack that killed two IDF soldiers in the West Bank. Additionally, in both 2020 and 2021, he eulogized a couple of nutbags, two terrorists responsible for a suicide bombing that killed 10 Israeli. By the way, you can find him, or at least until yesterday, you could see his featured work at the New York Times. Also, the Times severed ties with a freelance producer and fixer, Faddy Honona, who is credited by the paper in multiple stories published just this month.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Apparently, Anona repeatedly espoused anti-Semitic rhetoric, expressed hostility towards Israel, and also spoke favorably of Adolf Hitler. Weird coincidence. Yeah. Three of them. Yeah. Three of them. I don't accept a Jew, Israeli, or Zionist, or anyone else who speaks Hebrew. I'm with killing them wherever there are children, elderly people, and also soldiers.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Anoya wrote this in Arabic, surprisingly, on Facebook. In the end, the Jews are sons of the dogs. And I'm in favor of killing and burning them like Hitler did. I'd be extremely happy. As if that wasn't enough, there's even more. In another Facebook post, Hanola attributed a quote to the Nazi leader writing, as Hitler said, give me a Palestinian soldier and a German weapon
Starting point is 00:08:27 and I will make Europe crawl on its fingertips. So there's this. We have finally found those dangerous Nazis. They're everywhere, assuming you're standing in the New York Times newsroom. That's it for the daily. I'm Michael Bobarro. See you tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Okay, thank you, Michael. There's your update. from the New York Times today. Hi, Stu. How are you? Good. Good. I'm rethinking ever reading the New York Times again, though. Yeah. It's weird, isn't it? You know, I got another story here. In the last four years, there have been 118 people arrested in New York for anti-Jewish hate crimes. 118. Still the highest percentage of hate crimes, right?
Starting point is 00:09:25 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You think it was white versus black. black considering the news coverage, but it's actually against Jews, typically. Yes. Americans against anti-Semitism have done an extensive study on the 118 suspects that are arrested just in New York City. And they say the Jewish hate crimes are members of other minority groups and not white supremacists. That's kind of weird. Since 2018, 118 potential track of.
Starting point is 00:09:57 crackable individuals arrested for anti-Jewish hate crimes. They positively identified 84, of which only one was convicted and sentenced to any significant prison time. 15 accepted plea deals that don't appear to involve any prison time. 23 have had hate crime charges removed or criminal charges dropped altogether. 22 are still pending. 23 remain unknown, having totally disappeared from the criminal. court records. New York recorded a more than 300% increase in anti-Semitic hate crimes in the first
Starting point is 00:10:36 three months of 2022 compared with last year. In July, security cameras showed a group of men beating a Jewish man in his car in Crown Heights, New York, while his frightened five-year-old son sat in the back seat. Since then, only one suspect has been arrested and was released on bail in an amount much, much low. than the district attorney requested from the judge. Overload in the New York court system, increasingly lenient prosecutors and judges and a police department in which officers are quitting at a growing clip
Starting point is 00:11:11 all make it easier for even the open and shut cases to languish and for the people at every level in the system to find excuses not to resolve them. Ah, so we got that going for us. Now, I may have lost track of the, names here, but was one of the people from the New York Times, the contributors you mentioned that had all the Facebook posts, was one of them also the person who was literally paying for the place where Al-Zawahiri was living in Afghanistan? Because they also had a contributor who was paying for
Starting point is 00:11:50 the condo or whatever it was apartment. No, that would be a fourth. That would be a fourth. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So, because you'd think maybe you wouldn't, you wouldn't want to do that. But they published op-eds about how great the Taliban was from the person who was actually
Starting point is 00:12:06 paying for the residents of Al-Zawahiri. I know. And I was the crazy one, you know, for working with Tommy Lauren. You know, she was so dangerous. So dangerous.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Yeah, she was never paying for anybody's rent. No. No. It was a terrorist. I'm pretty sure we can confirm that. I can safely say, nobody nobody
Starting point is 00:12:26 I've worked with here at the blaze has ever done anything like that or you know whatever Facebook posted or even just posted on a little sticky note in a secret closet I secretly love Hitler
Starting point is 00:12:41 no no no that's not that's one of the things we try to screen for actually here they don't do that at the times apparently but here at the blaze we do try to screen out anyone who might do something like that yeah well look we've got a couple of things going on that I think are important. First of all, Minnesota Bail Fund, championed by Kamala Harris. Remember
Starting point is 00:13:01 when she was like, you should have bail these people out? You want to contribute. These are the people that went and burned down buildings then got arrested. Yeah. And then Kamala Harris said, hey, give these people money so they can get back out on the streets and probably do it again tomorrow night. Well, one of the guys that the Minnesota Freedom Fund that she was recommending that people would do, and he was arrested during the George Floyd thing. So he was let out. shot and killed a passenger on a railroad platform in St. Paul just a few months ago. But, you know, no big deal. Freedom Fund executive directors defended their group's decision to post the bail in a statement on Thursday.
Starting point is 00:13:41 It said, it is neither just nor effective to respond to violence by denying bail and preemptively punishing people who are disproportionately poor, black, brown, and indigenous. See, when you've been arrested, we're not. not preemptively punishing you. No, we're not. See, that means we're doing something in advance of your crime. Yeah. The arrest happens after your crime. You're asking in advance of a second crime.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Okay. That wound up being committed. Okay. Well, how, by the way, I do hope, I do hope we will be seeing that story, that timeline, told in a nice, condensed way in a bunch of political ads going into 2022. No, don't think so. I do hope the Republicans do remember all of this and make sure they highlight that quite clearly the victim of that crime. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:32 So that people remember what happens when Democrats get control. I don't think. I don't think they sell 60-minute commercials. Because if you were going to highlight all the people that were released. Not all the good, but anyway, Tillman's most recent felony conviction was in November 2018 for indecent exposure in the presence of. of a minor. Don't worry. He had seven prior counts of indecent exposure at the time. But this is one of those good people that needed to be released by Kamala. He's not the first person to commit murder after being bailed out by Freedom Fund. The group also freed a man charged with domestic abuse last year.
Starting point is 00:15:16 And then just a couple of weeks ago, he murdered another man in a road rage incident. So we got that going. Oh, by the way, Minneapolis has the highest number of homicides last year since the 1990s. So I think we're all going in the right direction. Oh, my gosh. How do our friends not see this? How do people not see this? Everything that they have touted has been an unmitigated disaster and has led us to where we are today. what am I missing? By the way, if you're a Democrat or used to be a Democrat or whatever, I'd love to hear from you. If you can understand or explain your friends, I'd love to understand because I really, truly don't get how you're missing this. Unless it's just so much hatred for the other side.
Starting point is 00:16:16 I think that's exactly what it is. I think that's our society today. Yeah. I think we've now crossed the line where it's more, I was listening to a podcast over the past week or so where they were talking about the conversion. I wish I could remember the name of it, but it was basically the conversion of our society from changing from people who rooted for things to rooting against things. Yes. And we are now a society that that's all we do. Like, you know, their example was culturally with celebrities about how back in the day what you did was you people were celebrities and you praise them.
Starting point is 00:16:49 everyone wanted to be them and everyone loved them. And then sometime, I think the theory was around the 90s, that changed to a lot of the celebrities we have basically, we just hate. You know, we're constantly making fun of them. We're constantly saying, you know, their reality stars. They're all, so downtrodden. Yeah, but like that's what we do. I'm not saying, they weren't saying it was necessarily like unfair to celebrities.
Starting point is 00:17:13 That was not the point of it. No, no, no. But I think like that's what, you know, like look at social media. You know, someone comes out with something new and generally speaking, everyone just sits there and trashes them. Like, that's what you do. You say how terrible they are. You say how annoying they are. Everything they do is terrible. And I think like, I think that is where we are as a society now. Where like I think the Democrats, the only way you could possibly vote for a Democrat is because you look at the right and say, I hate them more. Well, that's another thing. I mean,
Starting point is 00:17:41 nobody likes a fascist, right? And now there's two things that are happening. One, Biden is calling people semi-fascist, but now, led by Biden, several leaders and several people in the Democratic Party that are running for office, like Charlie Chris, are coming out and they're not just demonizing the Republican politicians anymore. They are now demonizing Republican voters. They are clearly saying it's always been implied, but now they're clearly saying these people. You know, this vermin, these Jews, just replace Republican and Jews. They're interchangeable at this point. This is exactly how it happened before.
Starting point is 00:18:35 And nobody would know that better than the New York Times, you would think. Sometimes in life, the best thing you can do is learn the hard way, not the case when it comes to real estate transactions. That always sucks. When you're trying to buy or sell a home or both, the truth is the school of hard knocks is a thing to be avoided at all cost. That's why years ago, I started a business called Real Estate Agents I Trust. We pair you up with the best real estate agents in your area. So the chances of you having a great outcome go through the roof.
Starting point is 00:19:09 It is a free service to you. Believe me when I tell you, you need somebody who knows all of the best practices, especially with a housing market being a mess like it is right now. Also, you know, as a side benefit, you don't have to worry about, did you just say master bedroom? Oh, I don't think I can work with you. Yeah, you're not going to have to worry about that. Most of the agents we work with are fans of the program, so you're going to have a lot in common and you're probably going to make a new friend. It's real estate agents I trust.
Starting point is 00:19:39 The name says it all, real estate agents.itrust.com. Go there now. Real estate agents, I trust.com. 10 seconds, station ID. So this semi-fascist thing. This is another thing, and I'd really like to hear from you, 8-8-8-7-27-B-E-E-C-K. Today the phones are open for you. I really don't understand how people think that they don't see which side is doing all the fascistic stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Yeah, it's kind of a weird thing. Yeah. And I went through, I've actually dug up the textbook. Because I was like, what's the textbook definition? Yeah. of fascism. And you've found the textbook. I have had this for years and years and years and years and years.
Starting point is 00:20:34 It is political ideologies, their origins and impact, second edition. And I looked it up there on the 13th edition now. So this is an old book. Okay, it's an old one. So it probably doesn't say anything like it said in the second edition. Yeah, now it's all about Donald Trump. Yeah. But back in the day, it actually talked about history.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Now it just shows a picture of President Trump. Yeah. It's a fascinating book. and it goes through basically how it has communism, fascism, democracy, capitalism, all the things, all the different ideologies, third world ideologies.
Starting point is 00:21:08 And it goes through the founding of fascism. So I want you to go through this with me, but would you do me a favor? Is fascism does it generally come from people
Starting point is 00:21:26 who are saying we want a smaller government. You know what? You're going to be surprised to hear it never comes ever, not one time in history. Wait a minute. How about fascism comes when you're saying we have a constitution with a bill of rights which handcuffs and reduces the power of the government? Literally not one example in all of human history. All of history. Yeah, it's weird. In fact, one of the reasons why the constitution and the, our country was designed the way it was, was to eliminate the possibility of one person taking complete control of the country, which is interesting.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Now, that's weird, because I was pretty sure that all of our founding fathers were Nazi fascists, you know? They looked at Hitler and they're like, we got to have some of that. You're going to be surprised to hear you were wrong. Really? Completely wrong or just kind of wrong? Completely. And I love to know which side you think, Glenn, is close.
Starting point is 00:22:27 to semi-fascism. Okay. I'll give you a couple of examples of what what fascism is and make the determination. All right, good. We'll do that next. The Glenn Beck program. All right, let me tell you about MyPillow. If you haven't imported the comfy train yet, it is high time that you do.

All right, so we're talking about semi-fascists, which I don't even know what a semi-fascist is. Is that somebody who's like, I like public-private partnerships, but I just don't want it with the, you know, the public-public public.
Starting point is 00:24:24 I don't think that's what it is. No, it's not. I think basically the semi is to act as if he didn't mean full fascist. Oh, okay. So it's just acting. Yeah, it's Joe Biden saying. He's such a good actor. Republicans or fascists.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Right. Because I guess they disagreed with them, which is interesting. It's a fascinating philosophy. And I'm a little, a little confused. Because every time we get into a policy argument with people on the left, they don't call us fascists. They call us Wild West libertarians that want no restrictions on anything. That's right. And we just want a free for all.
Starting point is 00:25:02 We're social Darwinists. It's just everybody that we want these big companies to be able to take advantage. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So when we're talking about health care, we're like, oh, well, people should be able to go in the free market and choose whichever health care they want. Oh, you're just, you want the Wild West. So when you're talking about your philosophy, Glenn Beck. Yes, my philosophy.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Can you describe it a little bit? What's your idea of the, what's your conservative utopia? Well, I mean, it's quite long. Give me a couple of seconds. Give me a basic idea. Limited government, right? Declaration of Independence Constitution. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:40 There you go. A government that doesn't do very many things as you described in those documents. No, it's what our country is supposed to be according to the rules. And maybe you'd summarize that as an experiment in self-governance, right? I would. As the founders described it. I would say, hey, is there a chance that maybe people can govern themselves without an oppressive government.
Starting point is 00:26:05 There you go. Okay. So now let's hear what fascism is. This is the textbook definition, political ideologies, their origins, and impact. Second edition. Mussolini. You may know him. Kind of a famous figure.
Starting point is 00:26:19 He created a totalitarian state. Wait a minute. Indeed, he was, it was he who coined the word. So you think of that as almost like an insult. He actually did it intentionally. He was not content with. political power alone, he believed that the government and ultimately the government's leader should completely control every aspect of human existence. Consequently, like Stalin, Hitler,
Starting point is 00:26:45 and Mao, which is weird that they pair those together. Communists and fascists. Interesting. Consequently, like Stalin, Hitler and Mao, he tried to build up the state's power, build up the state's power, extending it into the most private aspects of the citizens' lives. More from political ideologies, their origins and impacts. Quote, the state controlled and regulated almost every conceivable social, economic, and political activity of its citizens. Through this mechanism, almost every aspect of daily existence was controlled. Jobs. Wages.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Are we the ones that are arguing for wage controls? I'm sorry. Fringe benefits. Are we the ones constantly selling? every business what they must do with fringe benefits? Is that us? Okay. I don't think so. Housing. Huh. Are we the ones constantly monitoring every little bit? Are we the ones saying you have to change all of your insulation? We have to redo every single building in America.
Starting point is 00:27:46 That's for the common good. Retail goods, recreation, entertainment. Are we the people saying that we need to kick everybody off of every platform every time they make a joke? You don't like, are we controlling that? No, that's not us. Education. Are we the ones? Is that us? Are we the ones saying that you need to teach everybody about critical race theory and all these things that are not related to actual education. I'm pretty sure it's not us. They were all part of this elaborate organization. Now, since we mentioned critical race theory, let's think about that for a moment.
Starting point is 00:28:17 It's critical. It's critical. It's critical. It's critical race theory. What about the idea that men are men and women are women, a basic thing that we've all understood for thousands of years? Well, that's science. That was science at one point. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:31 It's interesting that you mentioned that because fascists had a particular approach to this exact type of thing. Something that we all understood as real hardcore science, they tended to take a different approach. May I describe it? Yes, please. Yes. You tell me which side this sounds like these days. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Fascism rejects objective science and reason. Objective truth is either a hoax or unimportant because the really important truth, defy rational understanding. Those who believe in reason, therefore, are deluding themselves and grasping at a false reality. What is a woman, Glenn? We don't know. Well, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:16 I mean, I have no idea how to define it. You know, health care. It doesn't matter. Health care. Health care. Usually helping heal people, right? Sure. But abortion is health care, right?
Starting point is 00:29:26 Sure. Every white person is a racist. Now, it's interesting because you're assigning a negative characteristic to a race. That's not racism, but every white person is automatically a racist. It has no way to get out of that. They're always a racist, always will be a racist. Drag queen shows, great for kids. Fantastic for kids.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Words are violence. Not violence. Violence isn't violence. Words are violence. The Constitution, not a document, set up. for a long time ago to give foundational truths to give the country a path to go. The Constitution's alive. It's constantly changing in front of our eyes.
Starting point is 00:30:13 The president, looking at that Constitution, has found a way to spend a trillion dollars without even asking Congress. Which side does that sound like? Let me continue a bit. This is, again, from political ideologies to their origins and impacts, Mussolini begged his audiences to have faith in the Italian myths. Quote, we have created our myth. The myth is a faith. It is passion.
Starting point is 00:30:39 It is not necessary that it be a reality. It is reality by the fact that it is a goal. Hope, a faith. Though it could not be scientifically or objectively proved, it was true simply because it existed and served a purpose. Huh. This is like the Democratic platform I'm reading from. How about this?
Starting point is 00:31:04 Truth is a subjective quality. Oh my gosh. Available only, Glenn, to a few gifted people whose will or spirit or personality is greater than that of the masses. Oh my gosh. These are quotes from him. This is quotes from the book describing his philosophy, this particular one. Those with superior will perceive a higher truth than others. You might think men and men are women and women,
Starting point is 00:31:33 but those with the superior will and understanding see it differently. They instinctively realize the right. See, it's not about the truth. It's their instincts that bring the truth. Not what actually is true. They instinctively realize the right, and those who are not so gifted, that's you, everybody,
Starting point is 00:31:53 should listen to them, having faith in their leaders, intuitions, and following their orders. All right, okay, so I think you've made some, you know, point somewhere. I don't know. Right, it was hard to detect. But let me ask you. Let me ask you. We're talking about the leaders.
Starting point is 00:32:09 We're talking about the leaders, right? Mm-hmm. You know, who's leading this? You were doing Mussolini, Mussolini. Okay. All right. So let's ask about the leaders. Let's talk about Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Okay. Okay. Mm-hmm. Because he's the fashion. Right. You remember when he, through just an executive order, nullified a trillion dollars in contracted student loans? And he did it right before the 2020 election. You remember that?
Starting point is 00:32:40 No, I. Good God. Well, you remember when he added all those IRS agents. You know, at a time when we were really separate, he was like, we're going to be looking into everybody's because we got, you know, we got like, you know, we got like 90. thousand IRS agents. I do not remember that at all. You don't remember that. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Okay, wait a minute, wait a minute. How about when he was investigating using the IRS and investigating his political foes? Do you remember that? No. No. No. I don't. I'm trying to remember who that was.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Okay, okay, okay. How about when he used the power of the executive office and was listening in? to phone calls and spying on reporters. You remember how much he hated those reporters when he did that? I do remember him hating reporters, but I don't remember that. Okay, all right. But we do remember, you know, him using the national security apparatus, you know, of the government to enhance his own election in 2020. We remember when he was promising the Russians, because he was colluding with the Russians.
Starting point is 00:33:48 We remember when he leaned over to Medvedev and said, hey, just I need a little room. little time until the next election. Remember that? No. Yeah. You don't remember that? Well, I remember that. I just don't remember Donald Trump doing it. I'm pretty sure it was him.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Pretty sure. Okay, how about using when he used the Republican National Committee firewalls to transfer money to private lobbyists and law firms to find dirt on, you know, on Hillary Clinton? And then turn it all over to the FBI, which he's in bed with, to launch a, let's call. call it a mixed fire storm investigation. You know, you remember that? I don't. And it was all centered around an ex-spy that the FBI paid, even though they said they weren't working with him anymore because he was incredible.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Remember that? And then Donald Trump, in his FBI, he had those agents talking about how they have to stop Joe Biden from winning the election. You remember that? And then when they burst into the homes of the New York Times reporters and then marched them outside in their underwear for the possible crime of, you know, stealing the draft of the Supreme Court, you know. Yeah. Yeah. Or was it a, no, I seem to remember it was a diary of somebody. I think it was, I think it was the Trump daughter that you never hear from.
Starting point is 00:35:19 She had that, she had that diary. remember and then the FBI came breaking in or or the investigation in the suspected illegal lobbying of Joe and Hunter Biden. I remember remember when he was doing that and then the Department of Justice is like, hey, we're going to keep this on the down low, you know. I have a bad memory. You really do. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:44 How about the how about when the attorney general refused a congressional subpoena or just refused to honor subpoenas and withhold the requested documents from Congress. You remember that. Or when they, when, when, when Donald Trump raided Hillary Clinton's house, do you remember that? That one I would, I feel like I would have remembered that one. One of these people is more of a fascist than the others trying to figure out which one it is.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Again, unreal. it is so clear to see how is it people aren't seeing it. I never truly understood those with eyes will see, those with ears will hear. I never understood that. I thought, you're going to be able to see it in black and white. You'll be able to, you'll watch it. What do you mean? We're here.
Starting point is 00:36:42 We're here. You refuse to see the truth for some reason. and it's an objective truth. Provable. And yet nobody seems to see it. Is that just me? Is that just you? Are there Democrats that actually do see this stuff?
Starting point is 00:37:06 8-8-727-B-E-C-K, the phone calls coming up. Now, the fight for life has never been at a fever pitch like it is right now. things have really shifted since the overturn of Roe, but that's not entirely in the favor of the unborn. You have the left going for extreme abortion laws. You know, California, I mean, could it be 30 days? Can it be 30 days after birth in California? I know they were pushing for that. It is after birth now.
Starting point is 00:37:45 I think they were pushing for 30 days after birth. That's fantastic, right? Jeez, what is wrong with us? We were going to try to save 50,000 babies this year. I still think we can do it, but it's going to take some double duty because, you know, we're working with pre-born. Pre-born, one of those clinics that now Google is isolating
Starting point is 00:38:12 and not letting people find. and also one that is coming under attack by Jane's revenge and everybody else. So they're having to spend more money on security for their staff and for the building and for the lawsuits and everything else. We're still going to buy more and more ultrasounds for them, which is an 80% turnaround. When a person comes in and they want an abortion, they see the baby alive, they hear the heartbeat, and 80% of them change. their mind. Let's save some babies. Preborn.com slash Beck.

Starting point is 00:44:59 Feel the difference. So I want you to write this down because you're going to have a hard time finding it if you're Googling. It took me a while to find. It is axe 529.com. Axe 529.com. This is a, it's called the Acts 529 statement. And it is vitally important that your church, your pastor, your rabbi, sign this document. And here's what it is, the Acts 529 statement.
Starting point is 00:45:43 The First Amendment to the United States Constitution states, Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free speech. or free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people to peacefully assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. During the COVID-19 pandemic, representatives who were elected to secure our God-given rights clearly transgressed their lawful authority in executive action that prohibited public meetings or mandated the wearing of masks and social. distancing. God's word directs us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. Hebrews 1025. This verse is a divine injunction. We must obey God rather than the arbitrary decrees of men. As a national coalition of pastors and churches, we reject any presidential or gubernatorial decree requiring us to disobey the word of God. We, we reject any presidential or gubernatorial decree requiring us,
Starting point is 00:46:52 we will resist any attempt by a federal state or local official to restrict or prohibit the free exercise of our religion or place restrictions thereon. The end of all the civil government being the end of all civil government being the good of society, we affirm our submission to lawful civil authority as instituted by God himself. But when rulers exceed the scope of their constitutional and God-given authority, they act contrary to their office and the public good and effect the ruin and misery of society. We do not need the permission of civil authorities to obey what God is commanded, nor does the church need the approval of civil authorities to serve and worship our God in the way he has prescribed. The Greek word translated church is ecclesia, which means the assembly. Our identity as the Church of Jesus Christ means that we are by nature and assembly. We assemble to hear the word preached, partake of the sacraments, and fellowship with one another.
Starting point is 00:48:10 The Apostle's teachings are unambiguous in this regard. Civil magistrates have no authority to dictate what churches may or may not. do. The Constitution of the United States is the highest law in our land. In 1803, in Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court ruled any law repugnant to the Constitution is null and void. We are on solid constitutional footing in our refusal to comply with restrictions on public worship. Again, the First Amendment states, Congress shall make no law respecting an established, and established of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Any law order or mandate that infringes our God-given right to worship according to conscience violates the First Amendment and is unlawful.
Starting point is 00:49:06 We the undersign, hereby affirm the proceeding statements. You can sign this. If you're a pastor, priest, rabbi, you can also sign this. And if you're just a congressman, you should send it to your pastor, your priest, or your rabbi. It is time that we take a stand. It is time that we do things the right way and peacefully draw the line in the sand. You can arrest us if you want. But I know who I serve. I will not violate the conditions of my first citizenship to meet the demands of my second citizenship.
Starting point is 00:49:59 I am first a member of a kingdom, a kingdom of God, and he is my only king. He is my only ruler. I have agreed to live under the laws of the Constitution and to protect and support that Constitution. That's what I have to do to really secure my citizenship in the United States of America. Support the Constitution and defend it if called upon. But when you go extra constitutional, when you're asking me to do things that you constitute,
Starting point is 00:50:40 don't even have the authority, but instead the Constitution bars you from doing that specific thing. I will not violate. You can't ask me to because you're in violation. You're in violation of your second citizenship. I'm holding true to it. And it is all of our responsibility to stand up. This is the first thing that I have seen on. COVID that is an act that all of us can take.
Starting point is 00:51:18 And it is drawing a line in the sand at our churches. You will not violate our churches. You will not tell us what we can and cannot do in our churches. This is not just about COVID. This is also about what I can read, what my church can say from the pulpit. Because if you think they're going to stay out of the church, church. The church, what they are building right now, the left is building a church. This is a theocracy that they're building. It looks a lot like fascism, but fascism always has some
Starting point is 00:52:03 sort of religion attached to it, something that you are to believe, that can't be proved, that you are to believe. We're going to reimagine the police force. How, where, when. What does that look like? Any test results from that? When do we reevaluate if that's working or not? You're asked to just sit down, shut up, and believe.
Starting point is 00:52:28 And if you have any questions, that's the dark side that is giving you those questions. Don't ask those questions. Don't even think about those questions. that is an old-style church. I mean, when I say old, I mean dark ages-style church. We need to start standing together. So go to axe-529.com.
Starting point is 00:52:55 That's axe-529.com. You can send it to your pastor easily. You can sign the statement. You can share it. And you could email officials January 1st, 2023. they are going to be emailing all of the officials local state and federal jurisdictions to inform them that these churches are standing. Well, that's going to put me on a list. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Yeah. Yep. You know, there's also another list called The Book of Life. Yeah, that one's going to be checked too. I wonder what you're doing or failing to do. I wonder if that helps your name on the book of life, because in my book, that's the only one that matters. It's time for our pastors to find their strength and to find their purpose.
Starting point is 00:53:54 You know, we're all being tested, and I've always looked at this as a good thing. We're being tested right now on can you actually do what you were sent here to do? Can you actually be the person that you were born to? to be. Not the person, oh, I don't know. I don't want to do that. No, I don't want to be one of those people. Because I don't. I don't want to do any of this. I really don't. Talk to Rob Schneider the other day. Feels exactly the same way. He's like, I got money. I could just go away. I just go away. Live happy life. Just unplug and be fine. By the time they get to me, it'll be long time down the road, probably be dead.
Starting point is 00:54:43 Wouldn't mind it. I was born and so were you for this time. And all that requires is us not to go over the cliff with the rest of society. And that just means you have to stand up and draw a line in the sand and say, no, I'm not going there. Because this is how crazy it's gotten. Here in a very small town in Texas, Roanoke. Over the weekend, there was a trans, a family-friendly trans show.
Starting point is 00:55:28 It wasn't family-friendly. It wasn't. Now, you want to take your kids to that? Fine. I don't get it, but okay, fine. You want to have your kids put money, give money to them for their dancing? Okay, I don't know exactly what's your teacher. your kids, well, actually I do, but you apparently don't.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Or if you do, what the hell is wrong with you? You know, Biden's going to give this big gun speech this week. She's bound and determined to take AR-15s off of the market. Okay, okay, well, not in my town. Not in my town, because my town gets the Constitution. But, all right, that's what you want to do. I'd have to call you somebody like a dictator, because that's what dictators would do.
Starting point is 00:56:30 Change the Constitution. Change the Constitution. You want to do that. You believe you have, you're in the majority. Go ahead. Change the Constitution. It allows you to do that. Just amend it.
Starting point is 00:56:42 By the way, the Second Amendment no longer applies. Go for it. A dictator just goes around that. we had people that were Antifa, dressed all in black with the black masks and everything else, that were actually using ARs from the roof of a garage. They were taking sniper positions in this little town over the weekend. Anybody on the left say anything about that?
Starting point is 00:57:14 Do they have a problem? How about this one? If you're thinking, I don't want to be one of those people. I'm not going to sign that. I'm not going to send it to my pastor to sign. The Satanic Temple is scheduled to host an event in September at a Pennsylvania high school auditorium. According to the TST's flyer, that's the Satanic Temple's flyer, the back-to-school fundraiser is a family-friendly night filled with arts and crafts, science experiments, live demos, refreshments, and fun for all ages. Northern New York County School District previously voted 8 to 1 to reject a residence request
Starting point is 00:57:55 to form the TST-sponsored after-school Satan's Club. But they had to let them have a little party, you know, they're to have a fundraiser. Do they? If you don't think that we are fighting easy, unlike anything you've ever seen before in your life, then you don't get it. We're not fighting. We really are not fighting. Boy, this ring so true to me now.
Starting point is 00:58:37 We don't fight flesh and bone. We are fighting principalities, princes of the air. We are fighting evil. we are. Tell me what line can be crossed after man boy love, minor attracted adults.
Starting point is 00:59:04 After we mainstream pedophilia, what is the next line, gang? What is it? Because I don't see one after that one. If that's where we're going, no, I'm not going. I'm not going.
Starting point is 00:59:24 And so I will stand against all of these incursion into my life because I have certain rights and they're guaranteed to me through the Constitution and God. God gives them and guarantees. The Constitution is to guarantee the government won't do anything about it. And you know what? They will continue to take and take and take until we. we all put our differences aside and march together and say, you know what, we still hold these things to be self-evident. And we're not going away. And you're not going to frighten us.
Starting point is 01:00:07 Oh, you're going to put us in jail. Don't like it. I don't like it. But if that's what it takes, but that's not going to work unless we all stand together. Start with the pledge. Acts 529. com. So I want to talk to you a little bit about inflation. So many people don't really seem to understand what inflation, what causes it, what it is, where it comes from. Inflation is caused in our society by the Fed. In fact, every society, because it's a central bank.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Central banks are this, I don't know, shadow organization almost that you, you, you, you don't really know who's involved, which banks own, but it's all the biggest banks. They've eliminated all the other banks. So you pretty much know which ones own the Fed. It's a private corporation. And Congress gave them the right to print money. And so we're borrowing money, no longer from China. We're now borrowing it from the Fed.
Starting point is 01:01:18 You don't want to be in debt to these people. It's like the mob. You don't want to be in debt to these people. but we're borrowing money from them and where are they getting the money? They're just printing it. That's inflation. You really want to understand about the Fed. Read the Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island.
Starting point is 01:01:37 It is a kid's book. But have you read the creature from Jekyll's Island? Most people haven't even heard of it. It's a must read. But start here. The Tuddle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island. It's a kid's book explains where the Fed came from, how it works, and how it contributes to inflation in a way that it.

Tuttle twinsbeck.com, while supplies last, get this free copy of the Tuttle twins and the creature from Jekyll Island, but you have to act now. Tuttle twinsbeck.com. 10 seconds, station ID. So here's another one that I think we should pay attention to. The Biden administration is going to shell out $25 million. through the USDA, because you know we're having trouble with farms and farmers, right?
Starting point is 01:02:41 Sure. Okay. Like, what are some of the problems? The environmental restrictions. Yeah. Yeah. No, no fertilizer. No water in California, no water.
Starting point is 01:02:54 Yeah, water is important part. I've heard. I'm not a farmer. And so what's happening to our farms and farmers? They're getting screwed over and barely being able to make money and losing their farm soon because they can't make they've sold their stock they've sold everything they can and even when they try to sell it the tax situation is so bad for them right they can't even really sell it either so they're impossible right well the us d a is on top of our biggest problems uh which includes climate
Starting point is 01:03:21 change and equity so if you need a grant uh all you have to do is be eligible for the um the grant that they're giving out now, it includes historically black land and grant universities, Hispanic agriculture colleges, tribal colleges, Alaska native schools and other minority schools. You'll be able to get it from, you know, institutions could get, you know, from 500,000 to 20 million from the USDA. It's, uh, it's their new farming program to get a more diverse farm ownership and farmer pool. So diversity is where we start, according to this administration.

So pay serious attention to what I'm about to tell you. Credit card interest rates are going to go up soon. The Fed is meeting in September. This is why the stock market is down.
Starting point is 01:04:40 Because the Fed made it very, very clear last weekend. No, we're going to continue to raise rates. That means with probably two interest rates before the end of the year, at least one of them may be one point. If you're paying 20% now, you could be paying 22 or 23% by the end of the year or beginning of next. that's going to cost you a ton in your credit cards. Please, go through all your options, including consolidation loans and low interest rates.

Starting point is 01:06:02 on-C-A. Welcome to the program. Do you remember years ago, you probably don't. Years ago, I said, they're going to start forgiving loans and give you extra perks if you're with the government, because they want you into the government. And if they can get you into the government for 10 years, they got you.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Because once you start thinking like a government worker, and you have a union that is taking care of, and all the perks are coming your way, and you're the authority, a lot of people will just dig the crap out of that. well, we do have the public service loan forgiveness program. It can discharge all of our person's student loan debt after 10 years of working for the government or non-profit, assuming you meet various rules like you have to have met your payment for the first 10 years,
Starting point is 01:07:03 and then they'll erase it. However, the Biden administration just used the COVID waiver to quietly transform a, small student loan forgiveness program into an enormous one. The average debt forgiven under the waivers was $60,000. And between October 2021 and June, the education debts of nearly 150 government and nonprofit workers totaling $9 billion were forgiven. Congratulations. Congratulations.
Starting point is 01:07:40 You are now giving the government workers who most, likely make more than you already. You've just paid for their college education. Let me ask you this, Glenn. Gun to your head. Yeah, uh-huh. It will be. If things keep going in this direction.
Starting point is 01:08:00 Gun to your head. Gun to your head. I love the Constitution. Do you think this blatantly illegal on an unconstitutional move by Joe Biden, where he gives away essentially a trillion dollars? to buy voters off of an election without the approval of Congress. Do you believe the courts will overturn that? Yes, I do believe they will.
Starting point is 01:08:26 I mean, this I think would be fast. However, you've got to make it into court before he's given it all away. Right, because if they're going to scratch it back. They're not going to claw it back, right? If they give away all this money and they lower the balances, they're not going to go back and say, okay, now you have to, the balances are going back up. You're making payments again. not going to happen. No. I don't think that's going to happen. No. So you have to,
Starting point is 01:08:49 they're having an injunction essentially against it. And you have to find someone with standing, which I guess is the challenge right now. I don't understand why I don't have standing. It's my tax dollars. It's my tax dollars. Why do I not have standing? They've made, they've ruled on this and you can't have general standing, basically. You have to be specifically affected. I am specifically affected. I'm with you on your part of this analysis. But the Courts aren't, unfortunately. Well, maybe we should challenge that. Let me go to the phones.

Starting point is 01:11:00 Let me go to Lori, New Mexico. Hello, Lori. Hey, Glenn. And so I feel like the left knows how to vote against what they hate. They vote against. We always seem to, on the right, we seem to vote for what we want. The problem is that the people that we vote to represent us don't have the spine to stand up for what we want. We send people there with grand ambitions and great goals, and they,
Starting point is 01:11:35 absolutely get sucked into the machine. So I have to give it to the left. They vote in dogs and those dogs go and bite. We vote in cats. And then they throw up on everything and then they run. They're pretty stupid. It's ridiculous. But they do circle our legs every two to four years, you know, like, oh, I love you so much
Starting point is 01:11:56 and rubble kids our ankles. Yeah, that's a cat for you. Glenn, I'm 45 years old. I'm raising two white Christian males. Oh, my gosh. I know. And one wants to join the military. The other one wants to be a pastor. Thank you, Jesus, for both of my friends. And I'm scared. I'm scared. So it's time where I'm sorry, you're a little bit old. The 40-year-old starts standing up to, I know you're a little bit too heavy. It's fine. We'll do it for you. But we need to start actually, like the Ronald is he's younger than me. I'm excited. I'm finally. excited. I'm running for school board.
Starting point is 01:12:37 Good for you. But I'm going to do it. Good for you. Deal with this. I live in New Mexico. Oh my gosh. You can kill a baby up until five seconds before it's born. Here. I think that's better than California, but I know. New Mexico
Starting point is 01:12:53 is madness. But, Lori, are you finding more people waking up or not? We are. We are. And we're coming together and we're trying to be quiet. Oh, you can't be quiet. You can't be quiet.
Starting point is 01:13:07 You can be loving, but don't be quiet. No, we're like Game of Thrones, quiet. We're plotting, and then we're just going to attack with driving. All right, okay. All right. They're tracing the call now, Lori. Thank you very much for your vote call. Riley and Washington.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Oh, geez. Washington State or D.C.? They're equally as bad. Yes, they are equally as bad. Washington State. Okay. You're the only conservative there. Go ahead. Well, I'm not, but it feels like it sometimes that's sure.
Starting point is 01:13:45 So I want to tell you, Glenn, I've listened to you since back in the WFLA days. I think I actually listened to your very first radio show. Whoa, that was tough. over for Mark Larson or Bob Lasseter or someone like that. So anyways, the reason that I'm calling, and I'll get to the point, is the comment that you made a few minutes ago is actually what prompted me to call you. All right. What did I say? Most likely I disagree with it. But go ahead. It's not bad.
Starting point is 01:14:24 And I think sometimes when you say, say am I out of touch with, you know, the other people here? Sure. When you made the comment, it's fine to take your kids or if that's what you want to do, take your kids to drag times, drag queen, story time, whatever it's called. You know, it's fine. I wouldn't do that, but it's fine. No, I said, I wouldn't, I think I said, maybe I just thought it.
Starting point is 01:14:53 I think you're a bad parent and I wouldn't do it, but that's what you want to do. I don't believe in, I don't believe in, let me put it this way. And this is a fine line, Riley. You could convince me to go over this line. This is the debate on the right right now. Yeah, you could convince me to go over the line on this one. But I really think that we cannot beat a. gigantic government with another gigantic government.
Starting point is 01:15:27 We have to stick to our principles of limited government. Now, if you want to do it in your town, you want to do it in your state, that's fine. But the government has no right, federal government has no right to tell us what we can and cannot do with our children. You can say, no story time in the library, no story time in schools, no story time, you know, where it's angled towards children, but you can't stop bad parents from being bad parents. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:58 Can I highlight two parts of this, Glenn? Yeah. One is, we already have laws that prevent certain amounts of children cannot go into strip clubs, right? They're not allowed to. We have laws that do that. That's on that side of the argument. On the other side of the argument, conservatives will very much understand what it looks like
Starting point is 01:16:18 when the government decides they can. can micromanage how you parent. And we've seen story after story where kids, our parents let their kids go play by themselves in the park. And the police show up because child protective services has been called because they're by themselves at 11 years old in a park. Right. And that's, we've seen this over and over and over again.
Starting point is 01:16:40 And conservatives are typically the targets of it where the government comes in and says, you can't parent the way you want a parent. Now, I think we all realize there's a line here where, You know, we would not say, okay, well, if you want to have your kids inside a strip club, fine, putting it in a strip club. Well, no, that's illegal, right? There is a line. The question is where is that line? And right now, I think the right is really trying to suss that out.
Starting point is 01:17:05 I mean, you see some of these shows that are called drag shows, you would say they're way over the line. There are other things that go on where you'd say, okay, well, you know, parents have a right to make their decisions, even if we disagree with them. And that find that place is going to be difficult. There's a difference between not for my kids, not for me. Yeah. Now, maybe when I'm younger and stupid. Yeah. But there's a there's a difference between, let's say, somebody dressed as a woman reading stories to kids and then dancing in a stripper pole and having the kids put money into their crotch.
Starting point is 01:17:42 There is a big difference between that. However, I just don't think that the trans anything has. any place in our schools. Why is it that they are targeting children? Why is it that the trans community is now targeting our children? You want to be trans? Fine, be trans, whatever. I'm still going to call you a dude because you most likely look like a dude and you got
Starting point is 01:18:11 the junk downstairs. Even if you had the junk removed, I got news for you. You're still a dude. I'm glad you put that so science. scientifically. Thank you. Precisely. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:18:23 So, you know, but if that's what you wanted to, the question is, why are they so passionate to target our children? That's the question I haven't heard anybody ask. It's, you notice this one is not about trans. It's like,
Starting point is 01:18:42 that's a given. Yeah, okay, trans. Got it. Why is the focus on our children? Why? Can anyone answer that on the left? Back in just a second. Yeah, because they might be trans. Uh-huh.

Starting point is 01:20:35 Thanks for taking my call. You bet. I worked for the USDA, and so I can tell you a little more about that loan payback. I have a colleague who has over $400,000 in debt. And, of course, she's paying it back. Wait, wait, wait, wait, from college? Yeah, well, she's a veterinarian, and so am I. Veterinary school is like 50,000 a year.
Starting point is 01:21:01 It's outrageous. It was 8,000 a year when I went 30 years ago. But anyway, so not only did she take out loans for the school, she also took a little extra, and she bought four houses with that. So you and I are not only paying for education, we're paying the mortgages on her four homes. Oh, and she also has an outy. So she had a... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what do you mean she took out a little extra? She just, you don't have to prove what your loan is?
Starting point is 01:21:34 I guess not. you know, when I went to school, I only took out what I needed for my tuition, and then I had a job and did other things to pay my rent and food and all that. But these kids today, they are taken out whatever they need to not only cover tuition, but then I guess living expenses, rent, whatever. Oh my gosh. Yeah, but four houses. I only have one house, and I've been working for the last 35 years. Let me just point out, I'm in a higher tax bracket. I don't have four houses.
Starting point is 01:22:08 Why am I paying off somebody's loans for four houses? Oh, and it gets better, Glenn. So they pay a percentage. And my colleague was complaining, oh, because we have mandatory overtime many times in the slaughter plants. And the amount you contribute to your loans is based off a percentage of your pay. And so she was complaining, well, now I got to pay more toward my student loans because the overtime, I'm like, well, that's only fair because I said, I'm going to pay the rest of it in my
Starting point is 01:22:39 taxes. And then whatever, after 10 years, whatever's left over, they just wipe clean. So she doesn't even have to pay 100% of it back. She just makes her contributions. And then after 10 years of service with the government, it's unworkable. It's wiped off. It's unreasonable and unworkable. Scott, hold the line. Don't follow these guys over the cliff. Hold the line. We need good people, especially overseeing our meat and keeping that thing flowing. God bless you, Scott. The Glenn Back program. What to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is...
Starting point is 01:24:11 You know, the only guy that seems to be speaking any kind of truth, really? I mean, that is way out in the public eye is Elon Musk.

Starting point is 01:25:27 www. nmls consumer access.org There's some really disturbing things coming out. The pandemic eviction moratoriums are expiring now. Rent payment relief programs end all across the
Starting point is 01:25:41 country and about 8.5 million people are behind on rent as the end of August. That's 3.8 million that say they're somewhat or very likely to be evicted over the next two months. Where are these 3.8 million people going to go?
Starting point is 01:26:00 Rents continue to tick up. They're now topping $2,000 a month for the first time on record. Rent is $2,000 a month. That's the average? That's an increase by almost 25%. Evictions are spiking in major cities. In Tampa, Florida, evictions were 52% above average in August. in Houston they were 90% above average.
Starting point is 01:26:31 Minneapolis, St. Paul, 94 above average. And I don't know how you get a house there. I mean, they're burning them down as fast as they can build them, I'm sure. Also, the average payment for a new vehicle is now $667 a month. That's the average, $667 a month. That's up nearly 15% from a year before. The average amount borrowed rose 13%. Used car buyers are also borrowing more.
Starting point is 01:27:03 The average use vehicle loan jumped 18.7% to $28,534 with an average monthly payment of $515. That's up 17%. The average new car or truck is now 46,259. I don't know how we're going to keep doing this. And listen, there's something that is very, very disturbing. And it is the farmer situation. Farmers are in trouble and it's only going to get worse. The FDA now in the $750 billion inflation reduction bill,
Starting point is 01:27:50 they provided money for the USDA to give loans, I'm sorry, give grants. to minorities, they want to be farmers because equity is our biggest problem right now. No, no, I don't think that's our biggest problem. Fertilizer probably is a big problem. Foreclosure on farms, that's probably a big problem. Water, that's a big problem. But I don't think diverse workforce on farming is right there at the top of the list that should get the attention. of the United States government.
Starting point is 01:28:31 By the way, the EU has just unveiled emergency measures to curb soaring energy prices. Gee, I wonder what those will be. They're working on emergency intervention right now. By the way, do we have the cut of the Germans and the faces they were making with Donald Trump at the UN? Watch this. There's the German delegation.
Starting point is 01:28:57 Germany will become totally dependent. on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course. Look at a blaff. Snicker. What is this guy talking about? Stop. This is amazing.
Starting point is 01:29:13 But you see the silly music there? You hear that? Yeah. That was showing you how silly the claim was from Donald Trump. That was a liberal website we should point out that made that video. And they put the silly music behind it to mock Donald Trump. They're laughing at him in Germany. They're laughing now?
Starting point is 01:29:27 I don't think they're laughing now. They're laughing now. If they don't change course now, that was two years ago, three years ago, if they don't change course now, they're going to have serious energy problems and be beholding to Russia. They're not laughing now. Our friend Carol Roth, who comes on the show a lot to talk about the economy, had just tweeted this story. This is my mum, as you can tell where this comes from, my mom owns a small cafe. her electricity bill has just jumped from $12,000 a year, so $1,000 a month, to $64,000 a year. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:30:04 She's working out her options, but more than likely she will be forced to close. This is happening all over the continent. In England, energy prices are going up tenfold. Tenfold by October, tenfold. People are not going to be able to afford this. And why? why is this happening? You know why this is happening
Starting point is 01:30:28 because the ice is melting because we're in this existential threat. No, it's not why it's happening. It's because people want to get more power and more money. That's really all this is about. By the way, listen to this story.
Starting point is 01:30:49 A massive ice sheet in Greenland is set to raise global sea level. by nearly a foot by the end of this century in a melting event driven by human-caused climate change. The findings in the journal Nature Climate Change so that 3.3% of Greenland's ice sheet will melt. That's 110 metric tons of ice. Sorry, 110 trillion metric tons of ice. The ice loss will prompt about 10 inches of sea level rise between now and 2100. You know what I'm going to take this seriously?
Starting point is 01:31:22 when Obama sells his house on the island, when all of the liberals move out of Malibu, when they all sell their homes, which are going to be completely destroyed, and we should get off because we're destroying the natural habitat. We're destroying the beaches. We're destroying all that. When they start selling their house,
Starting point is 01:31:49 then I'll believe it's serious. Or at least I'll be able to. believe they're serious about it. But right now, I don't think they're serious about it and I don't think it's serious. Well, prove me wrong. Start moving out of those areas. Start moving to higher ground. No, second thought, don't because I don't want you anywhere near the mountains.
Starting point is 01:32:13 Oh, my goodness. Let me go to Connie in North Carolina. Hello, Connie. Hi. How are you? Very good. Everything's great. Thank you. Good.
Starting point is 01:32:29 I have a comment that I would like to make. I have been helping candidates through a campaign consulting firm. And as a voter, now I've kind of observed a couple of habits that are taking place. Our grassroots candidates that are running for Republican, they're being stomped out. by, you know, the establishment in different areas. Yep. Yep, I know. So I have another candidate in Connecticut that they snubbed her out, a great conservative.
Starting point is 01:33:14 And so we're like, okay, well, we're going to start looking at the independent party. And she was up to get the endorsement on Sunday. But then what happened? Another Republican candidate came in and on the local level, because it's a local race, he got the endorsement for the independent and the Republicans. So the GOP is basically bullying. themselves into these other parties, which now I am looking at very actively, what are the other parties in North Carolina? Because all I'm ever told is, oh, you can't change parties. You're bad.
Starting point is 01:34:07 You're evil. It must be for the greater good. Well, guess what? I don't believe in the greater good. I believe in truth. And if that means losing, then that's what you do. But the people, are losing because these candidates aren't being placed on the ballot for the people to even know about. They're being pushed out. So what I'm doing now is I'm just doing research in North Carolina just as a voter and trying to find out what's going on, but I am going to keep doing that and decide. Well, Connie, I'm not going to talk you out of it. I do believe that this is the possible last midterm election we will have.
Starting point is 01:34:54 The country is on the line. And I do believe at this point. And remember, I've never said this before. I wasn't this way 2016. But I do believe that if we don't all hang together, we will hang separately. and I agree with you. I've seen the Republican Party do some awful things, but the most effective thing we can do is do our best to get that party to come back our way.
Starting point is 01:35:29 It may not be, it may not be possible. I would be for disbanding the Republican Party and starting from scratch. I think the leadership of the Republican Party is the biggest problem. Mitch McConnell. And I think Kevin McCarthy, I don't trust him a bit to do the right thing. You know, he's part of the problem. I think a lot of people I know like him. I don't.
Starting point is 01:35:55 But I will tell you this, don't give up. And I'm not trying to convince your mind or convince you to go the other way, Connie. You do what you feel is right. But just hear me out. That's the way we all felt at the end of the Tea Party. They came in. and took over the Tea Party and did everything they could to destroy it and they weren't serious. But the few people that we did get in made a huge difference.
Starting point is 01:36:24 And it was the Tea Party that set up everything that you're seeing now in the Supreme Court. And that's not me saying that. That's the New York Times saying that. Connie, thank you so much for your phone call. I understand your frustration. Tammy, California. Welcome. Good morning, Glenn. How are you?
Starting point is 01:36:45 Very good. Good. I have a question. Yeah. When I hear Nancy Pelosi or Kareen, John Pierre, say our Constitution is under attack, I feel that they have attacked our Constitution. It doesn't seem like it's the same Constitution that's hanging on my wall that was written in 1776. It's like a 20. Yeah, well, it's not that it's it's the first of all the Constitution 1789 and Bill of Rights 1791.
Starting point is 01:37:28 But I'll tell you, they don't believe in the Declaration of Independence, which was 1776. And they don't care about the Constitution. It's all of that stuff is hyperbole. All of that stuff is just, to image themselves as Americans. They don't care about the Constitution. We must. We must. Give me 60 seconds because I think I'm going to tell you something that you might not like,
Starting point is 01:38:00 but I think has to be said today. We'll do that in here in 60 seconds. Whether you're conducting business with it, using it for entertainment, or even just making that good old-fashioned phone call, your cell phone is a pretty big part of your. life whether you like it or not and naturally we all want to get the best monthly rate for the best possible service well if you come to patriot mobile you've come to the right place this the company that stands up to the left fights them tooth and nail in our own neighborhoods while still
Starting point is 01:38:30 providing great phone service the same time uh i got a phone just so i could be uh on patriot mobile i have no idea where that phone is uh it's probably locked away in my say If I don't, I, you know what? Just try giving up your phone for a while. We had a very well-known person trying to contact you recently and was trying to go through me to get in contact with you. Yeah. And can we get Glenn's number?
Starting point is 01:38:58 They really would like to speak with this person. Very, very well-known international level person. And I had to tell them, no, I cannot give you his phone number because he does not have a phone. Yeah. Which is great. This is great. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:12 I think that might have been the person. Was it this summer? Because there was somebody also that I think came from you, but there was somebody also and they're like, but this is really important. And they're like, I'm like, you know. You can email him. Yeah, email him.
Starting point is 01:39:27 He's up at the mountain now and even when he's home. He never answers my emails, but maybe he'll answer yours. Yeah.

But hopefully we'll have that here in just a few minutes.
Starting point is 01:40:23 Robert in Ohio. Hello, Robert. Robert? We haven't lost Robert, have we? Have we lost him? He's gone. Boy, that's really too bad. Really too bad.
Starting point is 01:40:38 You know, I want to go to the election here for just a second. Because... I'm glad you're doing this, because I've been a little ranty on this lately. Have you? I have, because there's this real pessimism seemingly setting in. Stop it. On the right. By the way, that is by design.
Starting point is 01:40:57 Yes, I think this is... poll numbers and everything else. First of all, the poll numbers were very, very early. And I don't trust the polls anyway. There's not that much there. Right. There's really not. Again, I'm a person who does this for a living, right? This is my job to look at these goals. You've called the last two or three elections. Perfectly. The 2020 election, I called the exact electoral count. Exactly. Okay. That doesn't mean I'm going to do it every time. But still, I watch this stuff all the time. And I'm not saying that there's no chance the Democrats do well.
Starting point is 01:41:32 There's no chance they hold the Senate. There's a very good chance they hold the Senate. And I would say it's potentially over 50%. But that being said, the pessimism that is being transported to all of us from the media is way, way over the top. You know, DGH, which is a Decision Desk headquarters, does this. this breakdown of polling. They're very good people who analyze this stuff all the time. There, they do a generic ballot race analysis, and they do it all the time.
Starting point is 01:42:08 On August 2nd, it was plus 2.4 for Republicans. Their latest one was Republicans plus 1.4. So they've had it move one point. The difference in the seats would be a Republican lead of 235 to 200, back in the beginning of August to 231 to 204. So a four-seat move. It's not nothing. If it continues to go this way, you should panic because eventually it will change. But there is no reason to believe we should be pulling the plug on this election and freaking out because the Dobbs decision is ruining our lives. Number one, I would trade the Dobbs decision for 10 midterm elections. It's much more important
Starting point is 01:42:50 than any single election. But number two, there is no evidence. to make anybody believe that the Republicans are not going to be engaged in this election when it really gets to election season. The Democrats got engaged early because of Dobbs. There's an argument to be made there. But that's not necessarily helpful in November. And I will tell you this, too. You have to do everything you can do. And then you got to let that go.
Starting point is 01:43:19 But I'm telling you, if you're not out campaigning for the people you know will stop. judicial nominations from going through? You got two years. Anything can happen in two years. The chance of winning the Senate, along with the House, is enormous. You will get two things. You can't get anything passed because the president would have to sign it. However, you'll get two things.
Starting point is 01:43:48 You will finally get bad guys going to jail. You will. They're going to have to turn them over to the Justice Department, but they can put them in jail for contempt of Congress just for lying to Congress. You can also have a new DOJ in 2024, and they recommend to Congress that's still there on the docket of things to do. But more importantly, if you take the Senate, you can stop them from changing the makeup of the court. You can stop the filibuster. All of this stuff, you can stop.
Starting point is 01:44:25 We should be working night and day. There are many candidates on the bill that I'm not real thrilled about, but boy, I got to tell you, Dr. Oz for Senator. Yeah. Woo! Dr. Az all the way! I mean, at least he's alive. He can walk around and he can get through full sentences.
Starting point is 01:44:47 That's incredible what they're running against him. Dr. Oz for Senate. Glenn back program. All right. Time to retire. The old look and bring in the new one. Sometimes just to spice things up a little bit. You got to make, this is what I've been saying to my wife.
Starting point is 01:45:02 Honey, just to spice things up. I got to get rid of the old, bring in the new. You know what I mean? Oh, this is a blinds.com commercial. Anyway, blinds.com.

Starting point is 01:46:22 A couple of things. First of all, Elon Musk speaking at an energy conference in Norway, Elon Musk said, quote, I think we need to use oil and gas in the short term. Otherwise, quoting, civilization will crumble. What is it going to take for people to understand that? Amid an energy crisis in Europe, which some anticipate will get much worse in the winter, high gas prices, and a grid rendered more unstable in the U.S. by the way, I have serious concerns about our grid.
Starting point is 01:46:59 I think our grid can go out coast to coast. It wouldn't take that much. And when that happens, it could be weeks before we have everything back online. That is a disaster of biblical proportions. I mean, you want to talk about your refrigerators go out. What are you going to eat? I mean, I don't think the soy sauce is going to go bad in my refrigerator, but everything else would go bad.
Starting point is 01:47:23 He also indicated that we, quote, have a clear path to sustainable energy future, but it's not a path that we can tread quickly. It's going to take decades to complete. That transition by no means is simple or an easy one. This is one of the biggest challenges the world has ever faced. Our food supply, be it staple grains, clucking birds, favorite vegetables or seafood, praised for its nutritious quality, has become increasingly dependent on fossil fuels. Even if we try to change the global food system as fast as realistically conceivable,
Starting point is 01:48:06 we will be eating transformed fossil fuels, be it as loaves of bread or as fishes for decades to come. He said the transition will not be, it cannot be, a sudden abandonment of fossil carbon. or even its rapid demise, but rather a gradual decline. But they're not going to do that. They're not going to do that. People, we have got to wake our friends and neighbors up, and we have got to go out and vote. We have to go out and vote.
Starting point is 01:48:40 This is a dismantle. You saw what happened in Baghdad. And Biden denied it right at the beginning. No, we're not evacuating anybody at the embassy. in Baghdad. Oh, really? Because there's the photograph of everybody getting on to the helicopters. It's a helicopter Uber.
Starting point is 01:49:07 They were going out together. Yeah, and this is the most secure, largest embassy in the world. Not just ours, in the world. And there's, you know, pictures of people breaking into the palace and swimming in the pool, just like we saw, you know, we've seen around the world now. with some of these palaces, that's what they're doing. They're breaking in. They're swimming in the palace pool, the former Saddam Palace pool.
Starting point is 01:49:33 Chaos all around the world, but Joe Biden seems to get zero blame for it. I will tell you, I looked at the footage from Baghdad, not of the actual, of the entrance into the palace. And I thought it looks like January 6th. That's one image that we will never get back. We cannot make any more of those images. No, cannot make any more of those images. Look at the world is going this way. Look at the way they've used this one already.
Starting point is 01:50:01 And there's so much more to come. All right. One other thing. And I say this with an awful lot of love and respect for the former president. I like the guy. We have strangely become friends. However, just because I'm friends and I like him and I'd support him as president, that doesn't mean I relinquish my things.
Starting point is 01:50:25 thinking. There is a story that has come out now, and this is true. It's coming from him. He issued a statement, what was it yesterday? I think it was yesterday. Why don't you read the exact statement? This is from Truth Social. He says, so now it comes out conclusively that the FBI buried the Hunter Biden laptop story before the election, knowing that if they didn't, Trump would have easily won the 2020 presidential election. That last part is in quotes. Well, but I'm not sure that is true, but what is true is I thought, I think it was like 81% of people said that it would have changed the election. And I saw a poll after the election that said if I would have known about the Biden thing, I wouldn't have voted for. There's a legit argument.
Starting point is 01:51:08 And of course, this is one of the reasons we criticized it so heavily at the time. They were trying to, certainly the press was trying to manipulate the results. No, the FBI and everybody was. But at that time, we didn't have the FBI information. Anyway, he goes on to say, this is massive fraud and election interference at a level never seen before in our country. Except for 2016. Oh, yeah?
Starting point is 01:51:30 Yeah, don't, I mean, you know the Russians. You know, the Russians. Oh, yeah. That all was, you know, manipulated by the FBI again. Yeah, my understanding is Vladimir Putin cast the deciding vote in that election. No, no, no, he, no, he didn't. Anyway, he goes out. They were trying to make it look that way.
Starting point is 01:51:47 Oh, okay, I'm sorry. I misunderstood. So Trump finishes with a remedy. declare the rightful winner or, and this would be the minimal solution, he says, declare the 2020 election irreparably compromised and have a new election immediately. So here's the problem with this. And I understand, I understand what he feels. And I understand, I mean, I can't imagine living like he has lived.
Starting point is 01:52:14 Guy's been under attack for five, six years. Total attack from every direction. So I appreciate that. However, there is no remedy to this in the Constitution. It wasn't there. I would be for a, I'd be for an amendment. You know, there wasn't anything about four terms, you know, in the beginning because we never thought we would need one until FDR.
Starting point is 01:52:40 Nobody had the guts to run more than two terms because you think you're better than George Washington. It wasn't until the progressive era that people started to say. say, yeah, I do think I'm better than him. So we had to change that. But at this point, there is no remedy to that. If the election is completely fraudulent, there is no remedy. And I don't want to do anything that destabilizes things even more.
Starting point is 01:53:11 You would have to have real evidence presented by people that both sides, could possibly agree on. Now, we're not going to get everybody on that. We won't. We won't get the, you know, the diehard righties or the diehard lefties to agree. We won't. But those in the center, I think about 80% of this country, maybe 70% of, over 50% of this country, can look at facts and reason, I believe.
Starting point is 01:53:48 There's just nobody out there that we all. trust anymore. And until we have that situation, we need to overwhelm the ballot box because there is going to be cheating. So overwhelm the ballot box. And if that means, like for instance, if the Republicans don't win the House this time, assuming everything stays the same, I'm going to have a really hard time believing that. You know, I will be like, okay, all right, all right, we've had enough, okay? But I don't know what that means.
Starting point is 01:54:27 That just means we better have some people in our states that get very serious about cleaning up the ballot box, very serious. Some states were. Most states, eh, not so much. But we can't go off the Constitution. We cannot do it. I don't want to become everything that they are where the Constitution matters when it works
Starting point is 01:54:59 in our favor and it doesn't matter when it doesn't work in our favor. We cannot become the people that say well, yeah, I know the Constitution says that we can't do this, but it's really important. I know that. But that's what got us here. And I know people don't want to play by the rules.
Starting point is 01:55:22 But if we don't, what do we have? I think of my kids a lot about, you know, what are they seeing me do? What are they seeing me do? My son wrote to me and he said, Dad, if I wanted to be successful like you, what should I do? And don't say I should work hard, get a job and work really hard. and don't say, you know, it's little things like, you know, just clean up your room every day. Don't say those things.
Starting point is 01:56:03 I'm like, well, you was expecting you to manipulate him into housework with this big important question? No, that's what I say. You know, I tell them all the time, son, you've got to be reliable. You have to be reliable. There are certain things that you do that mean something, you know, Jordan Peterson. clean your room. Stand up straight. Yeah, stand up straight.
Starting point is 01:56:29 There are certain things that you have to do that you think are meaningless, but they're not because they carve your character. And that's what makes a person successful. Either that or corrupt. But one way or another, you're going to be corrupt or you're going to have real character if you really want to be successful. You don't want to just, you know, ride the wave. Ride the wave.
Starting point is 01:56:54 okay. But we can't, I can't say to him, okay, well, well, this time, son, this time, here's the shortcut. There is no shortcut. There is no shortcut. And our kids are watching us. My son knew I was going to say that because he knows how hard I work. So he knows the first thing I'm going to say is you got to work hard and you got to take every absolute, every opportunity to learn from people.
Starting point is 01:57:24 and even people you think have nothing to teach you, they have something to teach you. But he didn't want that answer. We have to be people. What did he want? Do you get a sense of what he wanted? What did he want you to say? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:57:43 I don't know. Like some secret hack to... Yeah, some hack. I mean, everybody's looking for a hack. His thing is that how am I? going to compete with you? And I'm like, when did this become a competition? Right.
Starting point is 01:58:03 You and me. I mean, I hit the lottery. I hit the lottery. There is no, listen to the show, son. There is no reason I'm this successful. You could maybe advise them to be an overweight host that a lot of times can't pronounce names. Okay. A major broadcasting company can't get through.
Starting point is 01:58:24 Because once in a while, lightning strikes there. Exactly. Right? So just kind of be there. And then at some point they're going to go, okay, you. Showing up every day and putting an effort, though, was part of your answer and is part of the solution. I will tell you. How many people do you know that are in a job right now that have said to you, I just can't even get anybody to show up? Yeah. Or, oh my gosh. All the time. All the time. Or are my favorite. They just started working here. And they think that they should be, able to do X, Y, and Z.
Starting point is 01:59:00 Now, you've got to earn that. I talked to somebody who said, they worked one week. And they were like, yeah, I'm going to need next week off for a vacation. Like, you've been here a week. You don't get a vacation, you know, after the first week. Not usually. That's not the way that works. And they just don't understand it.
Starting point is 01:59:23 You just have to play by the rules, do the right thing. and work hard. We do have a major election update. Seriously? Major election update. It is. Yeah. In fact, we have our first contender
Starting point is 01:59:38 for the 2024 presidential nomination. Really? So he just threw their hat in. The first contender. Okay, hang on just a second. He's not giving me any indication. He's joking. I'm not joking.

Starting point is 02:00:05 Well, I don't have any faith in the credit of the United States of America. Do you? You know, do you notice that it doesn't say on your dollar that this you can be turned in and it'll be a dollar's worth of whatever that's consistent? It doesn't say that. You're not going to get that in exchange for anything. It is what it is, baby. Goldline is offering a pre-Labor Day holiday special with every gold legal tender bar purchased.
Starting point is 02:00:34 You're going to receive one free silver maple flex bar at no charge. Now, these were designed really by me and made by the Canadian Mint. My idea was, if things break down, you're going to need pocket money. And nobody's going to walk around with, you know, an ounce of gold or five hours. It's just not going to happen. And you're not going to need that much in gold because gold should be, well, going up like it is, the price that it is. Hey, I got $2,000 here.
Starting point is 02:01:07 Can I buy that? Can you break $2,000 for this $500, whatever it is? No. So you need gold and silver and you need it in small amounts. Those are the legal tender bars and the maple flex bar. So you can get that. And you'll also get 10 of the silver, mind your business bars at nests. no charge.

The first candidate officially filed for 2024. Officially a candidate for 2024. A lot of people didn't see this coming this early. Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. Shut up. He has officially filed to run president in 2024. The
Starting point is 02:02:43 official form is, I will give you one humorous piece of it. It says the committee is a principal campaign committee. The candidate, and it literally says candidate Kamala Harris, Joseph R. Biden, Jr. I don't know. It's just the paperwork, but it lists Kamala Harris first, but it is called Biden for president. So I think that means he's running. He probably filled that out of myself. President Harris. President name, Harris, vice president. To me. Yes, but he's at least saying he's running. So for all the speculation that he does not want to run,
Starting point is 02:03:19 at least we know that part is true. We know that's true. The Glenn Back Program.
