I'm Hillary. That's your four-minute buzz. And now here's Glenn and Stu with the show. Glenn, welcome back in studio. Thank you. Very nice to be back. We have Home Title Lock is our sponsor. One of the largest real estate title company suffered a breach of nearly 900 million homeowner files.

where we have to decide, what are we going to be? Who are we going to be? What is our republic? Right now, Bernie Sanders says it's not appropriate to deport illegal aliens. I think there's more going on in the border, on the border, than most people think. Not you. I just think anybody who is really not paying attention to this and like, oh, you know what, we got to have compassion. There's more going on.

and the Democrats are involved, and I'll tell you about it in one minute. This is the Glembeck program. Okay, we've talked about, you know, the Federal Reserve and mortgage rates an awful lot. We're at a point in our history where mortgage rates are now so low that we have an opportunity to get our financial house in order and set our course for our family's future. Now, history tells us that these rates are not going to last, so it's important that you take advantage to lock things down now. primary need, your shelter. Like building a building on a rock rather than sand, a mortgage at a low fixed rate is really

super important because it provides stable financial platforms for your family. With rates this low, right now it's worth the 10-minute phone call to American financing. Now, maybe you can afford that monthly mortgage payment that you, you know, didn't have. You couldn't afford. Well, now with the mortgage rates this low, can you? Call American financing. Help you get into a home with little or no down payment. Please, please be careful.

But these are the people that I trust to help you through and navigate this system with you. It's American financing. Go to Americanfinancing.net. Americanfinancing.net, the number is 800906 2440. that is Americanfinancing.net 800906 2440. American Financing Corporation, NMLS-182334, www.mLSConsumeraccess.org You know who's, if you see them, let them know that I'm looking for direction,

something solid I can hope. Let me talk a little bit about the president. last night he did his first Spanish speaking interview. He didn't speak Spanish. Neither did the interviewer, but it was for, I think, Telemundo. It was incredibly unfair. It's everything that you would expect, okay? Why are you ripping families apart?

No, I stopped it. I stopped it. It was Obama. We're not talking about Obama here, sir. Yeah, but I stopped it. It was Obama. We're not talking about Obama here. or, I mean, it's that kind of stuff.

So it's just so frustrating. I just, I endured it once. I don't want to have to endure it a second time. Although he did a really good job. He kept his cool the entire time. He just kept restating the facts. I thought he did an excellent job on that last night. And the media is so convinced that they're right on this.

And I don't think they are. I think people are seeing, and I mean, Hispanics and everybody else. People are people. We all want secure jobs, secure neighborhoods, safe places for our families. When he got into, well, you said that MS-13 members are coming over, but there's a lot of other people. Yes, but mixed in those people, if it's one in a hundred, that's too many.

We don't know who these people are. I think that actually works for the average person. And I'm not talking about, I've been traveling in the country here this summer. And I just don't think people are playing the politics game. Like talk radio plays it. Like certainly, like the media plays it. We're hyper-focused on this.

But the average American is pretty much done and they're just watching it, you know, from a distance. And if he can remain calm and cool as he did all the way through, he's going to make an impact because this is getting worse and worse and worse. And the Democrats, this compromise with Nancy Pelosi that they announced this weekend. Do you see that still? On the border? Yeah.

Yeah. He announced he was going to do these raids. And then he said at request of Democrats, I'm going to delay the raids for a couple of weeks to see if they can work something out. So she did. She worked something out. She's going to provide all of the funding so they can, you know, move on and help communities deal with all of these. But nothing for actual security. Just, yeah, we'll help get these people out and on their feet.

No, that's not what we were asking for. And I think that the average American is going to see through this game. and I think the Democrats almost, I think they want him to act through executive order. Because they're not acting reasonably here at all. And I really think that they want him to take this on. And quite honestly, I'm at that point. Mr. President, just we're going to lose our country. We're going to lose our country.

You can't have this kind of influx. I find it interesting to the way the media looks at this because, If you go back to, let's say, when Republicans were saying, we don't want Planned Parenthood funded. Okay. And then they, they quote unquote shut down the government. And the focus was constantly on the victims, right, of this shutdown. The people who didn't have their, you know, the military people didn't get their paychecks. And like, they went through every case they could to try.

And when, you know, when the military paychecks came, then it was another thing. It was always some desperate person who was being affected by the Republicans. and the the idea was you know, Republicans should just get past this little thing they have with funding abortion

and give the money to the people who need it. Well, look at this situation. Tell me it's not the exact same thing, right? Like, Republicans are asking, saying like, look, give us money to deal with all of these asylum claims

and all these illegal immigrants that are crossing. You keep saying that, you know, we're detaining them in this, you know, horrible, in human way. When we need more money to deal with them as everybody,

has noted that the numbers are up in incredible amounts. So they've asked for it. They've asked to take care of the problem. Democrats are identifying, right? That this, you know, these detainments are not, you know, the best, right? They want to improve them. So what do they say? What's the, what's the, is it, I mean, if it was handled the same way, it's a,

Democrat should get over the idea that they should not fund this and they're pushing all the politics that are difficult on Republicans and deal with the actual victims here. No, this again falls on the Republicans as the problem. The Republicans aren't doing enough to help the illegal immigrants. And then they talk about whatever Trump tweeted last week. Why don't the Democrats have to get over their ideological upset with the president on this? Why don't they just have to give him the money? So here's this very good point. And we all know the answer, I think. that there's, you know, there's, there's no real honest broker on one side.

You know, what the Democrats are now proposing is you have a leak in your bathroom and it's just pouring water out on the floor. What they're suggesting is that they will help. They'll help. They'll help rebuild the walls. They'll help, you know, rebuild the floor. well wait I don't I need help right now shutting the water off that's what we need shut the water off well I'm going to make sure that everybody can get in there and every all the kids have boots I don't want my kids having boots shut the water off that's the problem and you know it's

we can say that it's for whatever reason but here's the reason the republic the Democrats are doing this. And I'm, I'm convinced of it. I don't have, I don't have any evidence except past and past performance in exactly the same situation over in Europe. All of the same people that are saying, open our borders, open our borders, open our borders are the ones who said, you got to take on this, all these migrants. You have to take them on. You have to take them on. and people like me were saying you can't take them on you can't just have open immigration you're going to have all kinds of problems you're going to have you're going to have more rapes more violence some of these people are good some of these people aren't good you're going to get extremists that are coming across your border you can't do that you're also going to upset all of

the people who feel like they're not being listened to so what's happening now in europe Europe is being torn apart. And what are the people in France talking about? What are the people in Germany talking about? What are the people all over Europe talking about in Spain, in Greece? Direct elections. Full democracy. No republics.

One man, one vote. Full democracy. What are they doing here? They're trying to get rid of the electoral college. What the left is trying to do right now is bring the world to a place to where you have true democracy, which is majority rules. Now, in Germany, they're afraid because it's the Uber right that is asking for direct democracy. because the right is the one saying, you know, you brought all these migrants in, and now everything's going to hell, and you're telling us to shut up, we can't talk about it.

Well, we're tired of listening to you. You have the power you've had it too long, and you're trying to shut us up. And you're letting all these people in, and they're changing Germany, not for the better. They're not adding. They're bringing their stuff and then telling us with your help exactly how we're supposed to live. We've had it. So in Germany, the left is very afraid of direct democracy. They're trying to stop it there.

In France, they're not trying to stop it. So what's happening here? Well, we have our migrant caravans, just like you had. the migrant boats going up into Europe. They know this destroys a country. They know it. They see it happening now in Europe. That's why they're trying to keep our borders open.

They know that it will divide us even more. They know that it will cause chaos. They know that it causes political unrest. I know that sounds like a crazy charge to make. I know that. And I expect everyone on the left and in the media, if they would ever cover anything, they would cover that as a crazy conspiracy theory, et cetera, et cetera. But give me another reason.

Because this is not compassion. What you're doing, chaos is never compassionate. Never. You must have triage. If you said, you know what, we got to get rid of triage. Everybody is hurting. We got to get rid of triage. That's what they're saying.

The United States is the hospital. And they want to get rid of triage. Just everybody needs to get to a doctor. Well, what's that going to do to the hospital? More people will die because of that. More chaos. And in chaos, you cannot heal anything. So tell me exactly.

Give me a better explanation because I don't buy compassion. Chaos, as I have told you for 15 years, is the operative word of the future. What do we have going down on the border? Chaos. Anything that encourages chaos run from. Nobody likes being manipulated, especially when it's done on the internet. It's creepy when you do an online search and then you're fed a barrage of ads and stories by companies that are trying to sell you something. It's quite honestly a personal infringement of privacy, I feel, and it's relentless. It's even worse when cyber criminals invade your phone, your desktop, your tablet, and steal your private information, steal your identity. But there's an easy way to build a fortress around your

data, a simple VPN. Nobody is tracking you. Nobody is selling your information to, you know, to their clients. You know, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's the one thing that you have to decide now, that I don't think we ever used to have to decide. Am I the product or am I the customer? Facebook looks at you like a product. Google looks at you like a product. Okay.

They gather all the information. They're selling you. That's what's different. And that's why you need Norton SecureVee. because nobody's collecting all of that information. I have a right to be who I am. Go where I want to and have a right to privacy. You need a virtual private network to be able to do that.

That's why a VPN right now is really important, and you have to have it with a right group, a group that you can trust. Norton secure VPN, the convenience of the connected world without the worries of online privacy and security. Just go to Norton.com slash VP. VPN. Protection starts at 333 a month. That's Norton.com slash VPN. Download the app, put the password in once, and everything runs through the VPN.

No worries anymore. Norton.com slash VPN. We break for 10 seconds station ID. Holy cow. Just what a, what a world we're living in right now. What a world we're living in. I'm just let me throw this in real quick. I'm really excited to see beginning this weekend here at the studios for our 12 score and three years ago museum. This museum is all about learning from the past and we make direct correlations. This is the first time we've ever done this. Direct correlations from the history to today. This is the history.

This is how it happened. This is what it was. This is today. You see if there's, you see if there's any parallel. And you're going to learn history. You're going to feel history. You're going to, you're going to be surrounded with history. And you can get your tickets now at mercury one.org.

It opens up this, is it Friday or Saturday? I think it's Saturday. It opens up the 30th. and it runs until July 7th. And so if you're anywhere in the Dallas area, bring your family. I'll be here. David Barton will be here. Stu will be here.

I'm usually here for the whole thing. I do give tours, but I can't give all of the tours. And so there are selected tours where you can help Mercury 1 on all of our missions by ponying up for one of those. Nobody's making any money. It's all going to charity. But sign up. You can sign up to take a tour with Stu or I think Pat. Is Pat doing one?

I'm not sure. I know myself and Jeffrey are doing one. What we'll do is we'll go through like David Barton's tour. We'll just like, you know, kind of get to the back of that, watch his entire tour, take all the stuff from there. And then we'll look really smart on our tour. That's really smart. That's, what a dummy. Anyway, so you could take that's a really bad philosophy there.

Take the person who knows the stuff. We'll steal all the good stuff. We'll add in making fun of you. That's a solid tour. Well, you didn't say to make fun of me. Well, I think that's expected. Okay, all right. Basically my job.

So anyway, it's the 12 score and three years ago, a pop-up museum. We invite you to come. I urge you to come and be surrounded by a lot of like-minded people. It's always so great to have the audience come together. Mercury1.org. Mercury 1.org. Get your tickets now for our pop-up museum. You'll see the original Emancipation Proclamation, the Gettysburg Address, all of it.

Mary Todd Lincoln's funeral dress, all kinds of stuff, but tied directly to today in ways that you won't believe. You really won't believe. Okay. Stu, looks like Buttigieg. the media is saying he's out now. It's funny because we said this from the beginning. It's why we never really, you know, it's hard to move him up to the very top

because no one has criticized him. Yeah. Like he's not going to just walk into the nomination. Correct. So someone at some point is going to say something negative. Apparently we've now found what that thing is, which is apparently he doesn't like black people, which is a stunning accusation to a white person from the Democrats,

which is, you know, the only thing that they say about every, single person. So the idea here is that he had he had an issue and was one of his only known scandals was that he fired the first black police chief in South Bend and had been accused by some of the community of being

racist, the cops, the makeup of the police had become too white. And so there was a shooting over the weekend. I love this story too because it's all focused on Pete Buttigieg. And again, I don't want Pete Buttigieg to be president. I do not. He think he would a bad president. But the idea is they're like, well, there was a shooting and he's just not sensitive to it.

And then about 10 minutes into every piece of coverage on this, you hear the fact that the officer who shot the black man, which is the new scandal, was carrying a knife and going after the police officer. And it's like at some point... So you bring a gun to a knife fight. At some point, do you get any responsibility for what? happens? No. If you take a knife at a police officer,

I mean, is there anyone in America who thinks that's going to turn out well? Is there a good outcome? Is there anyone who thinks it should turn out well? It shouldn't. I mean, look, you hope obviously that there's not a death in the situation. Obviously, you do what you can, and we don't know. We don't know the investigation.

But you would expect a gun to be fired. Yeah, probably. I mean, you know, I would fire. I'm a cop. So I'm just coming at me with a gun or with a knife. Yeah. What's your responsibility?

Put your arms up and let them just stick the knife in your stomach a few times. I don't know what the person's supposed to do. Don't charge at cops with knives. Yeah. They're done with him now. They're done with him. It looks like they're done with him. You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Yes, because they're policy turnarounds by President Trump. Oh, really? Yeah. And so he's receiving some pretty heavy criticism because, you know, he was going to attach tariffs on Mexican products, and he didn't because they complied with what he wanted them to do. Then he was going to attack Iran and pulled out of that at the last minute

because he had heard that 150 people were going to be killed in that attack and he thought it disproportionate. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Then he announced that ICE was going to begin deportations this week, and he delayed that. And this is causing America to just be a laughing stock now. Is it? Is it like a red line in the sand? It is, yeah, a little bit like that.

And it's a national security issue, in fact, because people just don't know where we stand on anything. We know exactly where he stands. I know exactly where he stands. Mexico. Tariffs. It worked. Cooperate? Or I'll give tariffs.

They cooperate. No tariffs. The next one. Iran. Iran. The attack. We're going to put a stop to this. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. 150 people that may not be worth an even exchange for a $130 million machine. machine. That you would think that liberals would love. Because that shows compassion. That is honestly, the best

message I have heard a president send on any kind of military action. You know, it's either weak or it's too strong. This guy is like, look, we could pound you in the sand, but not a single life was lost on our side.

And so I don't want to do anything that's going to cause you to lose life because I don't think that's fair. And I think that's, what do they call it even response when they say it's proportionate? Yeah, proportionate, proportionate response. That's what they're always, this is way out of proportion. And that's what they would have been saying. Yes. Had we done it.

Yes. I actually like this call from the president. And I have to tell you something. I am sick and tired of the press wanting it both ways. They were the day before this guy is reckless. He just wants war. He's just rushing into everything. That's what they were saying up until he changes his mind.

Then it's he's reckless because nobody knows how to view him. You know, he drew a red line in the sand. And now what do our allies think? Now what does Iran think? Because they know they can cross that red line and not get any punishment. Oh my gosh, I can't take it. I can't take it. There's no way he can win.

No. There's no way he could. And what was the third one? And then the third one was the ICE deportations this week. Since when are they for deportation? Since when do they want ICE to follow through with deportation? Plus, the other thing that we found out is the acting director of ICE said that because of the leak that they were going to start the deportations, the ICE agents would have been

in danger this week. And they went to Trump and told him that. And he didn't want to put the ICE agents in danger. and the acting director of ICE says that's why he delayed the the deportation move. Because they knew, essentially people knew it was coming. Yeah, knew it was coming. There are some, some of them are not maybe people who are just here for a better life. Some of them are criminals.

So warning them that this is about to happen, probably not the best thing of the ages. Could have been dangerous for them. Right. Yeah. So he delayed it. I mean, even if you don't necessarily follow the exact, you know, storyline of the Trump administration, right, where you're saying, you know, like, where these things, you know, he makes these big threats and they always work out.

At the very least, the media knows this dance, right? Trump comes out and he makes a bold statement about some policy. And then he's using it obviously as a negotiation tactic. And they all know this. Like they act, they take whatever is the worst interpretation of whatever he says and apply it to that moment. So like, okay, it's deportations. Well, he's the worst person in the world. he wants to get rid of all Hispanics.

Oh my gosh, this guy's basically Hitler. And then he says, all right, I'm not going to do it. And then it's like, well, this guy can't make his mind up. What is wrong with him? I mean, I thought we needed these deportations. It's great. They're almost to the level where they're going to start arguing for the deportations. I love the, I love the access to it where they absolutely are convinced that he's

Adolf Hitler with concentration camps and he's Adolf Hitler. Look how much he hates immigrants. and yet he's the one going, it's the lowest unemployment rate for Hispanics in the history of America. And I remember Adolf Hitler saying, And it's the lowest unemployment rate for Jews, yeah? Don't think that.

I mean, he didn't say it. No, that wasn't his priority. Look at what's happening. And they just dismiss all of that. It's honestly, it's like fighting with a five-year-old. Where the five-year-old, you're, you see. there you see what the five-year-old's excuse is going to be.

You see exactly what they're going to say long before because you were five ones. And they keep making this excuse and then keep changing their reasons for why it's just eventually like you're five. Okay. I'm not even arguing with you anymore. That's where the president just needs to be. I'm just, I'm not even arguing with you anymore because I think he's there. It's kind of funny. I think I think he's kind of there.

and he doesn't really, and he shouldn't care what the Democrats, because he's never going to please the Democrats. This was a game that George W. Bush kind of got caught up in. He started to try to please the other side of the equation, too. No, no, no, wait. Hang on just a second. It's not that you try to please. It's that you try to appeal to the reasonable people on the left, but the people, not on the left, but in the Democratic Party. because I tried to do this. Just I'm not trying to, I'm not going to appease.

I'm not going to change. But I will try to appeal to the reasonable people out there. But the reasonable people never stand up. No. They just never stand up. Yeah. So it does no good. It does no good.

It does no good. It didn't do any good for Bush. They hated his guts even more when he tried to appeal to him. And the same is true for Trump. You can't win that war. Oh, the idea that he is the most anti- gay president ever. I'm so so sick of this. He's the only

pro-gay marriage president to ever be elected. Because every other president, every other president was against it when they were first elected. And he wasn't like, because I'm running, I better say this. No. No, it was years ago. Years ago. Years. He's always been gay friendly. I don't know what you people

are talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, I mean, obviously that you know, he's not Elizabeth. Is it Elizabeth Warren that now has come out with this reparations for gay people? Because they didn't get their gay marriage ruling fast enough. That's a fascinating one. But like, you know, there's another story that's been going around.

Do we buy everybody toasters? I don't know. Like a wedding presence? It's interesting. They didn't get tax breaks all this time. She's saying that they should get now the tax breaks from marriage, which has never been something the Democrats have ever liked anyway. But apparently now they do because it applies.

I don't even know. I can't even understand it. This is why I am against tax breaks for marriage entirely. Oh, yeah. Stop it. The government shouldn't be in it. It shouldn't be in it at all. So there's this viral video that went around on the left this weekend about how the Trump administration is trying to prevent and arguing a court that detained immigrants should not get soap or toothpaste because that's not the government's role.

And of course, this is this is a concentration camp. I mean, even in concentration. camps, we give soap and toothpaste. And there's people like coming out and saying, I was detained by Syrians and they gave me toothpaste. This is unbelievable. Well, what they don't include in the context of this video is, of course, that the Trump administration, the government lawyer now in the Trump administration, is arguing a case that was brought up in 2015. It's an Obama administration case that it's just continued into the Trump administration.

And the government's position is not that they should not give soap or toothpaste. based. It's that it's not a specific violation of the Flores Agreement. We've talked about that before over the years, which is one of the things that's set up this idea. So they are trying to talk about a very specific legal thing. It gets tossed out there as if it's this Trump violation, but the violation actually occurred during Obama doesn't stop every one of your dumb friends from sharing it, though, with the context of the left that has no idea that this was an Obama problem. This is not a Trump problem. The Trump argument is coming as a continuation of a that started during the Obama era.

But it just doesn't matter. And I don't know, like, we used to, you kind of come up with this. Well, maybe we'll come up with a logical reason. And these people will understand that they're being misled, that they'll see the truth, that they'll see the facts. There's no such thing. It just seems hopeless. I mean, they just don't care about it.

They care about signaling whatever's inside that makes them feel like they're superior to your Neanderthal grandpa, who's that horrible white conservative that we all have such distaste for. And they have this like, that is the motivation. The motivation is never the truth. The motivation isn't for these immigrant families. It's the last thing in the world they cared about as evidence that this thing happened during the

Obama administration and none of them even know it. How could you have clearer evidence that they don't care about these immigrant families? They don't care. It's just a little piece of the puzzle to allow them to show their friends that they're better than everybody in, let's say, this audience.

And that's the goal. The goal is not the truth. The goal is not to help a family. The goal is not to protect a woman's right. None of these things have anything to do with the reasoning behind it, which is just signaling their virtue to everyone else. And that's what's going to, that eventually just comes undone. That just eventually comes undone.

I have a, I have a something I got from the New York Times, the daily. They sent a reporter over to Germany because they're now, uh, in Germany looking for direct democracy. And that just goes to mob rule. That's just majority rules. And do they not understand that? Do they not know that? We went over to Germany to talk to some of these radicals

that are trying to get majority rules. You will not believe this. I'm listening to it and I'm thinking, these people are so stupid or so dishonest. I'm not sure which one it is. Is there a combination of the two that could be a play here? Could be. Could be.

Just so stupid that they don't see. And at one point, the guys are like, the New York Times reporter is saying, well, what about the death penalty? This is very controversial in Germany, death penalty. If you're against it, apparently because of Hitler, nobody's for the death penalty over there. So they took the most crazy thing that everyone is for, okay, no death penalty, and said, what happens if people just voted for the death penalty? And the guy from the group that wants, you know, direct democracy said, well, that's ridiculous. We'd never do that. And then the New York Times is like, well, how do you know that they wouldn't do that?

I mean, are you, you're saying that you understand your group so much that they will never go that? way because remember once you have majority rule the majority could rule on anything and you can't you can't necessarily stop it then you won't be hello hello isn't that what you're doing here in America yeah but our side wouldn't be crazy oh okay it's really nuts it's nuts thanks pat you get your podcasts or listen and watch on blazedtiv.com slash glenn use the promo code glenn if you ever used your bank's digital payment service and sent somebody money listen to this cyber thieves have now found a way to steal from bank accounts by using this popular banking service scammers are using a combination of spoofed phone calls that look like they're coming from the customer's bank

It's moving now because the big investors, something that Tika Tuari talked about and said that it was going to happen months and months ago. He's just wrong on the timing, but right in the direction. Now it's at 11,000, and that's because Goldman Sachs and others are now in the business. are now in the Bitcoin business.

I don't remember tulips after they crashed coming back to what more than half of their value.

You know, like people always like, well, it was at 19,000 and everyone lost their money. It was at 19,000 for one day. Literally one day. It was above 18,000 for literally three days. I mean, it was above 17,000 for literally five days. There were a couple days that if you bought it, the absolute worst time you got hit pretty hard. However, now, I mean, there's only, it only spent 51 days over 11,000 in the entire quote unquote bubble. So, you know, we're talking, you go back to just over a month.

Well, yeah, basically, not even, yeah. Not even two months. Not even two months. So unless you bought at the absolute peak of the bubble, you are up on Bitcoin. That is not something you could say about tulips. It's not something you could say about a lot of this stuff. I mean, you know, yes, it did crash and hopefully you didn't sell then. I know some people did and, you know, we cautioned against that.

Who knows what's going to happen in the future? But, I mean, you're talking about something that was at the beginning of 2017 was under $1,000. You know, go find the stocks out there that you could have made 11 times your money in that period. And even if you bought, I mean, we're talking about October 2017. You're still up dramatically. You know, I mean, in October, you know, I mean, in October, you know, remember, it peaked in December 2017. That was when you had the one day at 19,000.

Everybody talks about as if people only purchased on that day, and they got killed. But if you go back to October 2017, it started the month at 4,000. Now, so you've basically almost tripled your money if you bought two months before the absolute peak, even if you bought in November 2017. Let's say mid-November, you're at 7,000.

So you're still up 50%. I mean, how many? So I'm actually really glad that this happened because you remember at the peak for that 30-day period, people were mortgaging their houses to buy Bitcoin. That's when you knew, this is crazy. This is going to end. When it becomes a fervor, it's not going to last like that. And then people get burned. And usually it crashes and then goes away.

I don't know anything that had such a spectacular crash as Bitcoin and now is up to 11,000, from $4,000 to from 19 to 4 to back to 11. And this one has gone unnoticed. This one is not, no, this is not the people who are, you know, writing, are you in Bitcoin? You got to get in Bitcoin. This is crazy. These are, this is exactly what we said would happen. the in institutional money would drive the price down they would say oh no we don't believe in it and it would they would do everything they could to knock it back down until they could get in now they've built all of their all of their desks they all have trading in it now and now the institutional investors can make money so now Goldman Sachs etc etc jp morgan chase now they can make money on Bitcoin.

And that's where this is coming from. This is from institutional investors. They don't move quickly like that. They didn't, they're not driven by hype. They're driven by long-term stability. And now that they're all going into it, they all suddenly believe in cryptocurrency and in particular Bitcoin. So now is the time that you're going to start to see solid moves on Bitcoin.

And who knows? I honestly, you know, you never know what the stuff. It is very speculative. But, you know, part of the reason why, you know, Facebook is obviously at some level embracing cryptocurrency, and that's been a big reason why it's been driving in the news. Yeah. I'm reading a Ben Mesricks new book, which is great. And it's about essentially the Winklevoss twins. Remember them? They were, you know, one of the people who basically started Facebook. Let's be honest about it. I mean, like I, I mean, you know, Zuckerberg came in later to help with programs. he basically stole the whole thing and launched it without their knowledge while he was employed by the twins, right? And then by the way, later on, text messages and instant messages come out that basically prove the case that he was absolutely screwing them behind the scenes.

So he takes control of the company. He makes all of this money, billions and billions of dollars. They get, I think it was $65 million settlement off of this, which, you know, again, you don't feel too bad for them in that case. But this was basically their idea. and they were paying him to build it. And Zuckerberg wound up taking the whole thing. So they get portrayed as like these two sort of doofy twins, right? Like, you know, they're blue bloods, who cares about them?

Well, not only did they basically create Facebook first. When they got their settlement against everybody's advice, they kept most of it in Facebook stock. They didn't take cash. They took it in stock, which they turned that $65 million into like $500 million. Okay. then they went out and tried to do all these tech investments and they were blocked.

No one in Silicon Valley wanted to do business with them because they knew their goal was to get bought by Facebook so they can't do business with the Winkle Voss twins because Zuckerberg would never have it. So they come back to New York, wind up getting in and figuring out that they wanted to get into Bitcoin. They start acquiring Bitcoin at $7 a coin. Seven is now worth $11,000 a coin.

They actually put in, they believe they had the largest stake of anyone in the entire market, about 1% of all Bitcoin available. Oh my gosh. Okay? Oh my gosh. And they, I mean, are pouring money into it as it's going up from seven to 10 to 30 to $70 a coin and pouring money into it by a Bitcoin company,

or that you invest heavily in a Bitcoin company, helping make these transitions. I mean, at some point, do you get the idea that maybe these guys are just really smart? Like, maybe these twins that have been like sort of like mocked over this long period of time for being these, oh, these hapless guys that lost Facebook like morons. Like, wait a minute. These guys have basically launched two revolutions. Yeah, but let me ask you this.

See, this is why we don't judge people, you know, on the, you know, on the surface. because put yourself back in, let's say, 2001. You're in your office. And your secretary calls in and says, Mr. Begear, I have Mr. Zuckerberg and the Winklevoss twins on line three. You immediately say, is this a joke? No, they're serious. The Winklewoss twins and Mr.

Zuckerberg very serious. You don't take the call because you just think there's a cloud show. Right. You don't take a Zuckerberg or Winklevoss seriously. Yeah, that's not a good way to make your investment decisions judging by if you think the last name sounds funny. Right. Right. But now they've got a little record and so a Winklevoss calls you don't make fun of the name. I got to imagine now people are absolutely happy to take their calls. Right? At this point. Yeah. I think I'm happy to take their call. If they ever, Mr. Beck, yes, Winklevoss twins are on the line. I'll take that call. Yes, I'll take that. You're going to buy more? Bitcoin? Did you buy more? I have bought, you know, I have a... You never, you are a spy. You are funding some Canadian terrorist

organization that just... Canadian terrorists are pretty lackadaisical. Right. They like throw, they like throw maple syrup at pancakes. You know, they go into an international house of pancakes. We're against this internationalism of the globalist agenda of international ous of pancakes and you throw maple syrup on people's pancakes. That, but you're funding it. It's a delicious terrorist group. Yes, I will say that. Let me tell you about our sponsor is Relief Factor.

That's Relieffactor.com. We pause for 10 seconds. Station ID. Let me get to Joe Biden. here's some audio of of Joe Biden saying that the Donald Trump election night was a little like something else in history. Listen. People get out of jail. The idea

we give them 25 bucks and a bus ticket to go under a bridge, but they don't qualify for public housing, they don't qualify for food, they don't qualify for Pell Grants. That's crazy. We should be doing the opposite. You know, Rev. You've been calling, I've been calling for a long time. There should be job training in prisons, not training people how to be criminals. There's so much we can do, and it's within our capacity to do it. That's the interesting thing.

And I think what's happening now is I think that Donald Trump may have reawakened the sensibilities in this country to say, whoa, maybe we can do this now. Just like our generation was awakened when Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated. A whole generation said, I'm back in, man. These millennials, they get it, right? Yeah. And now they want to get it, man. They get it.

These millennials, they get it. Man. Wow, man. It's like when our generation, man, woke up, man. You know, man? Because I really hate the, you know, the argument that you should get in trouble for comparing things. Like, they'll always be like, oh, you know, Glenn Beck compares, you know, Nancy Pelosi to Nazis. And like, you'll be like, you're going to.

And you'll be like, okay, and you're like, well, what's, what did you say? And he said, well, I don't think that you should have this policy because, you know, one of the reasons why, I mean, this has happened before. Like, this is the first step down this road and we shouldn't go down the road anywhere near these things. And, you know, like, like you're making an analogy. And of course, when you're making a point, right, one of the things you do is go to the most extreme level of that, right? Like, it's to set the precedent that the argument is theoretically possible, right? Like, you know, if you were to say, well, I don't want any government. intervention. I never want war. Well, what about World War II? That doesn't mean you're

comparing whatever conflict you're talking about now to World War II. You're trying to set the precedent that in theory you might be for war actually, right? And so I usually hate that argument. Here, though, he really is just comparing it. He's saying there are certain things in our history that get people started, and this should be considered on the same level, right? He's saying people as the assassination. Now, think of this. Think of this. My father told me, I asked him one time. What were the 1960s like that? And he said, well, they were different because the vast majority of people were still, you know, on a sane side. And so we kind of all stood around watching our television sets going, this is crazy what's happening to our country. He said it wasn't,

it wasn't as universal as it looked. Now, he's giving a Pacific Northwest kind of analogy for him, which didn't have a lot of a lot of that. But he even talked about, he said, when Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King were shot and Malcolm X, he said, we thought the whole world was coming undone. He said it just felt like everything was coming undone. Now, he's just put the assassination of Martin Luther King, the civil rights icon,

and Robert Kennedy, another icon, the assassination of those two, into the same category as Donald Trump winning an election, as saying that's as shocking, and it shocked the system. Do you really think that it was as shocking as Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy's assassination? And by the way, what did those assassinations do? Between that and what happened at Candlestick Park, the left kind of fell apart. The left kind of fell apart. It was kind of the beginning of the end of the radicalized movement because people had had enough.

It had enough. So are you implying that when you woke up, because what he's saying is people woke, up to that and they decided to stand up. Be more active. Be more active. No, actually normal people stood up and said, yeah, okay, we got to stop this. This is, this is craziness. What's going on? The Civil Rights Act was already moving forward. The Civil Rights Act was done in 1964. So we had already moved that barrier. We were moving forward. And the people led the politicians on that as well. Correct. Correct. And it didn't take.

the assassination of Martin Luther King or Robert Kennedy. That happened four years before they started shooting people. I mean, the best version of his point is essentially you get to this idea that things are good racially, right? And things are fine. And then there's an assassination. And you're like, wow, people really do hate, you know, minority figures. And then you have another assassination. People really do hate other people.

And then this is kind of what I think he's saying, which is we got lulled in. to sleep by the wonderful Obama years. And this is coming from Joe Biden. And then we realized that, oh, wow, we haven't passed these race issues. Donald Trump got elected. And so we need to get active again. Of course, we had, you know, and we pointed this out at the time. The Obama election

came at a time where I think we had really had moved past a lot of those things. Not because of Obama's election, because people don't care. People don't care. People don't care well, your stupid skin color, who cares? How anyone can make a decision based on that. And anyway, by the way, that includes things like affirmative action and all of these other things, but you don't make decisions based on skin color.

Thought it was something we all agreed on. And then Obama gets into office, and it's the constant focus. He's constantly highlighting racial divides. He spends eight years telling us how much white people hate black people. when I don't know. I mean, I'm not saying there's no racism. Of course there is. But like generally speaking, I mean, you know, I don't have, I mean, I don't see it.

And I should see it. I'm a conservative in Texas. Shouldn't I see racism all the time? And, you know, you talk to, we have David Harris on News and White Matters today. And he made this point yesterday. It's like, we're not victims here. He's African American if you don't know him. And he's like, we stop calling his victims.

Stop making us out to be victims. We don't need reparations from. you, we need to be able to do the things that we want to do. We need to be able to live our lives without your involvement in them. If we don't want your involvement in them, we don't need the government getting in our way. And, you know, that is, I think, where the average African American is, right? Like, we want to be able to do our thing, stops, you know, getting in our way. And yet this is constantly highlighted by the media. It's like, as if the only thing that anyone cares about are racial divides to the point that even Joe Biden is on the wrong side of

on the Democratic Party, that even Pete Buttigieg is on the wrong side of it. You can't even be a liberal white person who says every single one of these arguments is true and push for basically reparations. That's not even enough. There's nothing that's enough. And that's the lesson here. It's like you can't, these are, the extreme elements of these movements are not able to be reasoned with them. Wow.

That monologue was almost, I feel like we just. just witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ there. I don't know. That hatred was just crazy. I think you'll see the results of that as the storm clouds gather. You're listening to Glenn Beck. Okay, the one thing I found out yesterday, Car Shield can't cover is tires.

Aaron Watson joins us here in our studios. Let me go through a couple of things.

First of all, Biden has kind of doubled down on the segregationists. He says he misses, well, here let me play. Here's Biden. Welcome, South Carolina, to hear him from all of us, and we're happy to all to be here. The only thing I miss is my buddy Fritz Hollings. He was one of my mentors. and I'm sorry he's not here. Oh my gosh. He believed in segregation. Remember Trent Lott that controversy from years ago? Where he said, who was it even?

It was Strom Thurman. Yeah. He was like, Strom Thurman was. It's like 147th birthday, buddy. It really was. He was in a wheelchair. He couldn't even like that. Yeah.

And Trent Lott stood up and said, you know, you know, there's lots. things. He's been a great senator for a long time and lots of things. If we would have done what he said, you know, maybe the country would have been off and been a lot better. You mean like segregation? You mean the one thing that he said was really bad? Yeah. That thing? Is that what you're saying? No, that's not what I... No, you didn't. And then they threw him out of his leadership position. Now, Trent Lott sucks in a million ways and I'm glad he's out of the Senate, but not like the way that he was. No. You know, I wanted him to be defeated by somebody better. Um, but the, you know, I wanted him to be defeated by somebody better.

but they threw him out because they made this sort of fake controversy. Does Biden have to deal with that now? I mean, I guess this is their version of doing it. Kind of. Sort of. Yeah, he's sort of learned his lesson. He gets up and he's like, hey, by the way, remember that racist you guys said? Man, I miss him.

He was my mentor. But that's going to be okay. Yeah, that's okay. Corey Booker's going to surely point this out. Corey is trying to make a name for himself. He's been basically invisible throughout the primary. So his claim to fame right now is he's the one. calling out Biden most loudly.

But he's doing it like this, not really loudly. You know, I just, I'm, most publicly, I suppose. Oh my, he's just, I'm so concerned. You know, he's got to learn from things like this. And I'm the one to teach him. Yeah, he needs to apologize. And Biden's like, I'm not going to apologize to you for this. I mean, his initial comments were basically, I want to work across the aisle and I'll

have to do it with people that I think have terrible opinions, which he said. But shouldn't we, shouldn't we do that? shouldn't we be, can't we talk to people that we think have bad ideas? Can we work with them on some things? Right. I mean, that's the way it's supposed to be, right? It's interesting because he's going to be in the middle of this debate and Biden's going to be asked about this. And I think if I were him, I would say, look, every day we come out here on the campaign trail, all of us, and we say Republicans are really bad on climate change. They're really bad on race relations. They're really bad on women's rights and gay rights and income inequality.

and all the things that we say have really damaging outcomes for the American people. I believe that stuff. Do you not believe it? Because I believe that these things are really bad for America. And yet I'm going to still work with Republicans. I know, Corey, you just worked with the Trump administration on criminal justice reform. Do you not believe any of the things that you say about the Trump administration? Because you say really bad things about him.

You accuse them of terrible things. I think you should stop this monologue right now because I don't want him to use this because I think this is a very effective argument. It is, isn't it? Yeah, it is. And it's actually a way for Biden to kind of get to the left of all of these people in the primary, which would benefit him, but also show that he's willing to work across the aisle. Because I think what it really reveals more than anything else, if you're really thinking about it, is that, you know, Democrats are just saying these things about Republicans.

They're saying that tax cuts only benefit the rich. They're just saying all of these things. And they don't actually mean them. I mean, you know, the climate change thing, I mean, segregation. is really bad. Okay? One of the worst things that I can think of,

racism, awful, right? We all know this. However, if you were going to accuse someone of something terrible, destroying the entire human population for oil company profits is almost worse, isn't it?

I think it might be. The very least is on the same level. I think it might be. And if you're going to make that case, you can't then say this, Mr. Cory Booker, about Louis Farrakhan. Listen to this.

Would you be willing to have an audience with him concerning that? You know, I have met, I live in Newark, so we have famous mosques 25. We have Nation of Islam there. As mayor, I met with lots of folks. I've heard Minister Farrakhan speeches for a lot of my life. So I don't feel like I need to do that, but I'm not one of these people that says I wouldn't sit down with anybody here. So wait, Joe Biden, Joe Biden in 1972, you shouldn't have sat down with any Democrats. You're a Democrat.

They're Democrats. You shouldn't sit down with any Democrats that were segregation minded. Don't do that. No, you can't do that. But today, oh, I'll meet with anybody. I mean, Louis Farrakhan. Wait. What?

I mean, how, I mean, look, Cory Booker is not good at this. No. How transparent is this? Yeah. I mean, Booker has tried to sell himself as someone who does work across the aisle while accusing Republicans of wanting to literally wipe out every single human being on the planet because of climate change. It's okay to work with someone who's doing that. But it's not okay back in the day to work with someone inside your own party. I'm glad you pointed that out, Glenn, inside your own party who's a segregationist.

That is, I mean, these things are so transparently just political arguments to try to win this primary. They can't possibly believe anyone thinks that they actually believe. believe it, but it's treated that way because right now, the media wants Biden to do poorly. They won't want this to be the case when he gets the nomination and he's going against Trump. Every one of these little controversies will just go by and they'll excuse all of them. But right now, they think, well, we could get Kamala Harris. We could get, we could get Elizabeth Warren. We could get Bernie Sanders.

Let's go after Joe Biden and make every one of his comments look like the worst thing possible. I mean, the guy was, and I brought this point up before, Barack Obama, and every single person who's elected president or is running for president seriously and wins a nomination gets in effect a one-person presidential election they are able to select the person they think is most qualified to run the country other than themselves. Barack Obama, with every human being on earth

that was born in the United States and at least as a natural born citizen, is able to choose from anyone over 35 and selects Joe Biden. So you have to believe that Barack Obama thinks that Joe Biden is not a racist. Would you not? Would you think that Obama believes that Biden is not a racist? Yes. I think he probably does.

So what are you accusing Obama of? You're accusing Barack Obama of being a giant racist who hates black people? I mean, the mental gymnastics that I, that I, that I, identity politics forces you into, they're incomprehensible. So listen to these mental gymnastics. So I'm driving yesterday. The last two days, we were coming down across the Rocky Mountains, which was an incredible experience. I-70, I went up to Idaho across I-70.

And it is truly a wonder of the world. It really is. The engineering, it started in the 1950s. Do you know that they didn't finish that highway through the Rocky Mountains until the 1990s? Wow. It is happening in a construction project out in front of my house. Yes, I know that.

I know that. But it is an engineering masterpiece. I mean, it is a wonder of the world. It really is. Then on the way back, I go through on, I think it's I, or not I, I think it's Highway 50 over the Monarch Pass. And it's another incredible, incredible thing. but we're listening to music and my daughter gets a day to pick all of the music.

Okay, so we're listening to all these musicals and we're listening to Shrek, the musical. Have you ever listened to that? No. Okay. There's one song on there called Freak Flag. Okay. Now listen to this because this was written for a show in the 90s, 1999 maybe. Okay.

Now listen to this and tell me if this is even politically correct now. if this song shouldn't be protested. Okay. And by the way, nobody, of course, that did this or is currently doing this sees any irony at all. Okay? Listen to this. Listen up, Puppet. We spent our whole lives wishing and we're not wishing we weren't so freaking strange.

They make us feel the pain, but it's they who need to change the way they think that is. It's time to stop the hiding. It's time to stand up tall saying, hey, world, I'm different. I'm here splinters and all. Let your freak flag wave. My what? Let your freak flag wave. That's what I'm talking about. Never take it down.

Never take it down. Raise it up high. Let your freak flag fly. Let it fly, fly, fly. Okay. Now, who are the strange ones now? Who are the ones that are being called strange every step of the way? Conservatives.

Religious people. People voted for Trump. just want you to know. Broadway would like you to fly your freak flag, Trump supporters. So fly it. Fly, fly, fly. Let it fly. Let it fly.

Hoist it up high. Let it fly. The right kind of freak flag. Right. I know. Humpty Dumpty then says, you ready? It's hard not to be a puppet. So many strings attached.

Humpty Dumpty says, but it's not the choice you make. It's just how you were hatched. Oh no, no, no, no, no, hold on just a second here, umpty dumpty. Hold on. You're saying that it's not the choice you make. It's how you were hatched? Huh.

See, I don't think so, Humpty. And I don't think all the king's men and all the king's horses can put you back together again after something that hateful. You're saying that it's how you were born. not a choice. I thought that was the way you were, that was, isn't that what Lady Gaga told us was the right thing?

Well, Lady Gaga, if that's true. She said, born this way, right? I mean, that's the whole argument.

It's supposed to be about how you're born. Yeah, well, it's not how you're born. It's not how you're born. You can make a choice. Don't. Oh,

because that was, gender. That was on the gay issue was born this way, but the transgender issue is that is. Correct. Well, and with gay,

you can choose, you can choose anything you want. it's not born anymore. It's not born anymore. Because I mean, you know what? It's really outdated too in this context is the term sexual preference. Like there used to be a time in which you said, I prefer women and that's okay. And you prefer men and that's okay.

That's no longer the case either. It's not about a preference. Yes. It's about something completely different now. You can't say that because then you're saying, well, there was an article that came out the other day that said, if you are not attracted and would not date a transgendered person, you're hateful. You're hateful. You're hateful because if you just think, yeah, it's not my thing.

No, thanks. That means you're a hater. Yeah. That you despise transgendered people. It's, I think we've talked about this before. You must participate. You must participate. If you don't participate, well, then you have to be stopped.

But the song goes on. Yes, it all makes sense. We may be freaks, but we, we're freaks with. teeth, claws, and magic wands, and together we can stand up to Farquod. Never take it down. Raise it up high. We've got magic. We've got power.

Who are they to say we're wrong? All the things that make us special. All the things that make us strong. What makes us special? What makes us special? Makes us strong. Let your freak flag wave. Never take it down.

Raise it up high. Let your freak flag fly, fly. Fly. So if you are deemed in the society a freak, Broadway would like you to know that what makes you strong is your freakiness, that you are different than everyone else, that the majority doesn't rule. Now, they don't live by that,

and they're trying to actually change the Constitution, so majority does rule. But their songs, before they are banned, I'm sure, because that is a hateful, hateful song now, is encouraging you no matter what it is that makes you different to stand together, because that's what makes you strong. American financing, you have a dream of buying a home, raising a family. People said the American dream was over.

Well, that's not the American dream, but that is a nice dream to have. It looked like the American dream, if that was your definition of it, it was over in 2008. But fast forward now, remarkable how we have already come full circle. Federal Reserve has kept interest rates so low that most Americans can't afford to buy their own home now. The sharks that help create the mess in 08 are also back with a vengeance. Zero down payments, programs, grants, all kinds of way to buy a home right now. You need an advocate that can look at you and look at your whole history and what you want to do and find the right loan for you.

American financing is the only company for mortgages that I have ever endorsed. I don't like mortgage companies because they usually work for the bank. They don't work for the bank to sell you alone. They work for you to make sure they find the right loan that will serve your interest and your goals. Might be a great time to buy a new house. Might be a great time to refinance.

In case you don't know, Aaron, and you're a country music fan, where have you been? Aaron Watson is the most successful independent artist, I think, of any genre of all time. Definitely. I like that.

I like this. I'll go with that. Yeah. Is it just country or is it any? I like the, I like just saying any genre. That sounds so much better. Doesn't it? Doesn't it?

You could throw worldwide. Yeah, worldwide. Universal. I don't know. Yeah. But I think you are. Thank you. I think you are.

It's good to see you. Good to see you. Thanks for having me. You've been working hard getting this new CD ready. It's called red bandana. Yes, sir. And I listened to all of it. I called you what?

Four weeks ago? Yes. Yeah. You released a couple of songs. I used to be a program director of music. stations. And I was fairly good at picking hits. I don't know if I could do that anymore,

but I heard a song on this CD when you only released, you know, they only released a couple. I think it's called Kiss That Girl Goodbye. Yeah. I think it is a smash. Thank you. If people will play it on radio. If they'll play it.

It's a smash. Thank you. Can we play just a little bit of, Kiss that girl. Goodbye. Much understood. Rainy days are just no good for leaving. No need mix and misery and jam. So it goes for icy days.

Heartache and slick highways. No time to wait. You're going to break if you bend and bend again. But ain't fresh new start will warm your heart like the sun breaking through a cloudy sky. If ever was a good day, it's today that book kiss I've got. That is, that is, that is the hook of the year. Thank you. That is amazing, great.

You know, my daughter, she's nine. And when she was listening to the album, I said, girl, what do you think the first single should be? And she was like, um, kiss that girl goodbye. So she was, and that girl. She's right. Oh, she's absolutely right. You'll sing that all day.

I heard that the first time. My wife and I were in the car driving and we must have played it six times. I love it. I love it. It's just great. You know, I've had, I had so much fun making this album. I really feel like as a songwriter, I'm catching my stride. I think so too. And I poured my heart into all 20 of these songs. Some of them are lighthearted like that one right there. That's lighthearted. It's fun. There's, may I just say, first of all, you're the first person to put 20 songs on a CD all penned by you since Alan Jackson. Alan Jackson, yeah. Okay. So nobody does this. This. This, This is, I'm a fan of yours.

I listen to your albums. I know you've, you've been around forever, so I don't know necessarily all your old stuff, but I know your last four. Yeah. This is different somehow. Yeah. This one's different. And I think better. I think it's your best one yet.

Thank you. But I noticed that there is, there's two sides to this. Yeah. One is, one is just fun. Just fun. Lots of fun stuff. and others are really deeply feel personal and heartfelt, even a different sound in some ways.

Am I right on that? You're right. You're right. What happened? I think as I've gotten older, I'm more confident letting people know that I don't have it all together. And... Can we go to a song?

Because you just said that. Let me see. It is trying like the devil. Yeah. Let me just play a little bit of this. And I want you to listen to the lyrics. Because I think it's, I don't know what you were thinking. Yeah.

But it's an interesting set of lyrics. Well, that golden halo doesn't go so well with my red bandana and blue jeans. God knows when I'm good, I'm good. And when I'm good is seldom so it sings. So they say fools play with fire. I'm trying my best to not get burned. While I soaked myself in gasoline One were things by now I might have learned

But I've never learned No, I'm not the man they think I am It weighs heavy on my heart and mind As I stumble every step along the way Like a whino who can't walk the line It's like tightrope walking on a windy day There's heaven and a rising hell to pay Solidness rock and sink and sand

Trying like a devil to be a good man. So what were you thinking when you're writing this? Why did you... This is a... You know, the next verse goes, so beware of broken glass, should you stare into the window of my soul? And judge me not,

I only bear it all so you know that you are not alone. And I think everybody, my wife, she's amazing. She's the closest thing to perfect that I know. She never gets mad. I've never heard her say one harsh word. You've never loaded the dishwasher then? Well. Because every time I load the dishwasher, I get a harsh word.

That's not the way you don't put this on the bottom and you don't put this on the top. Yes. Okay. Excluding that. All right. Okay. I thought that was just assumed with every man. All right.

Good. I thought so too, but I thought maybe she was the freak in the... Yeah, yeah. The unicorn. The unicorn. I wanted to write a song. I don't know if I was feeling depressed. I don't know if I was tired.

But I'm very much, I like to write how I feel. And I've always been like that, but I've only shared usually the positive moments on albums. And I think that's in some ways taking the heart out of some of my earlier albums. This song, trying like the devil, there was a local boy who committed suicide. He was one week away from becoming an Eagle Scout. And everyone just said they never knew that this boy was experiencing such pain. And his dad put something on Facebook that just said,

I wish people would be more open and honest about their struggles. I wish celebrities and singers would be more honest on social media, not just put forth this fake, perfect imagery, you know. And I wrote that song because I was like, you know what? People need to understand that like, I try to be a good husband and I try to be a good dad, but I fall short. but I keep trying. And I think that's the biggest thing is you've got to keep trying.

And I put this song out and then two weeks ago we played the Grand Ole Opry and a soldier. And he and his wife came to see me play and he said he struggled with PTSD. And he has had, he said, I have suicidal tendencies is what he said. And he said this song, trying like the devil, I listen to it every morning and it gets me in the right frame of mind that like it's okay I'm not alone in this because I think that's what I think we all want to be viewed as something spectacular and we all want to we want everyone to know that we have it all together but I think but we don't and I think being honest and going you know what I don't have it all together I you know when people are like you know you know you're Aaron you're

a Christian you have it all together I go first of all I am so messed up that I need Jesus more than most. So let's just set the bar really low for me. But I poured my heart into this record and there's there's lighthearted moments, but then there's moments where it's like, I need to be honest with my fans. I need to share my heart with them. They deserve that. They deserve something that's real. If it's truly going to be music with meaning, then it needs to be the whole heart. So I want to get to another song. I've, I've never heard a one minute song. It's less than one minute.

Yes. Can you play, and I'll get the explanation from you here, but he has a song that is 58 seconds. It's called 58. Yeah. And I want to play that for you and have you explain it. Okay. In one minute, stand by.

Do you want to explain this song first or play it first? I'll explain it. The songs call 58, and it's a tribute to the 58 men and women that were killed at the Route 91 Festival in Las Vegas a few years back. We played that festival the year before the shooting. And I was home that night, that Sunday, when I heard about the shooting, and I had friends there. and just heartbreaking. And then a few months later,

we played national finals rodeo back in Vegas. And some of the people who had been injured came out to my show. And of course, you and I have talked about this. I have that song, Blue Bonnets, that I wrote about my daughter, Julia, that my wife and I lost. And this person who had been injured at the festival

who also lost a friend there, she said, your song Blue Bonnet's really helped me. She goes, I really wish you would write a song for the victims and their families. And I said, okay. And I thought about like, gosh, how do you write a song

like that? But then the next day I woke up with some, with an idea of this song that could be called 58 that would be short, meaningful, and only be 58 seconds long. Just, I wanted to end the record, letting those people, those families know that like we still remember them. We're still thinking about them.

Listen to this. 58 seconds long. It's called 58. 58 lost their lives, mothers and fathers, husbands and wives. 58, every daughter and son left a long show. Trail of tears A long night new 58

Got wings way too soon Waltz and across stars and the moon 58 Angels singing along Forever missed This is your song Your album is

the album, by the way, is red bandana. And his name is Aaron Watson. And it is, it's a great, if you like Aaron Watson, this is the best he's done, I think. Thank you. And we're having him on because radio doesn't play Aaron Watson very often because he doesn't have a record label. And so he's kind of the guy who wouldn't change, wouldn't wear the skinny jeans. Yes. wouldn't sing the songs that somebody else wrote.

He said, like, no, I'd rather just play in a, I'd rather play in a honky tonk someplace than, you know, get rich and get famous playing somebody else's songs. And you kind of address this in the song, Dark Horses, which you've addressed before, but it's different. This time it's not about you. Well, you had a big influence on the direction of this album, and I've told you a little bit about this. Well, we had dinner. We had dinner and I had told you about what I was thinking. And you said, Aaron, I get it. You're the underdog.

You're an unsigned artist. You're independent. Because I'm independent, it's difficult for me to get played on mainstream radio. Now, we've had some top 40 hits, but it is difficult. You know, we don't get nominated for awards because I'm independent. It just is what it is, and I'm okay with that. So there is that underdog mentality that I always kind of have to embrace. but you said, listen, you've charted albums number one.

You've done things that have never been done before. You know, you are the, you said, I think you said, you are like the people's champ. You're showing them that despite the industry telling you, you can't, you're proving them wrong. And you were like, you need to write songs that inspire these people, that don't talk about how difficult it is for you. You're living the dream.

You're defying gravity. Show these people. Inspire these people. That's why they support you is because they believe in you. I have no recollection of saying that. I might have been hammered. Well, even though I'm an alcoholic. I don't remember saying that, but I will tell you, when I heard dark horses, I cheered

because I thought, this is a kind of song that everybody needs to hear. The lyrics are. This is the one we're kicking off. the show too, the new show. This is like, this song goes out to everyone who's dreaming. It's like, get out there, work your butt off, earn it. Don't give up. You know what? Get ready. They're going to tell you you're not good enough. Get ready. You may not get into the college you want. You may not get this that you want right off the bat. Whatever your dream is, you need to get ready because it's not going to be easy. Get ready and get out there and work hard.

Listen to Dark Horse. Yeah, this one goes out to the dreamer always out there, Raymond Hyde, don't you let them clip your wings. I'll say that you can't fly. This one goes out to the loser losing time and time again, and time again keeps on believing that someday they're going to win. When nobody knows your name, nobody knows your face. Everybody counts you out long before you start that race.

You can let them place their bets, let them laugh and drink their wine, let them eat their words, win you're first, to the first. finish line. Change your day in the sun. You're rolling like a young gun. Now it's your time to ride. Let your dark horse run. They can't measure your heart.

They can't tear you apart. You'll finally get in your stride. Let your dark horse run. Through the fire. Far the wire. You're a runway train. There's no turning back. This one goes out to the girls.

You'll show the world you can. Never let them hold you back. Just because you want a man. This one goes out. Those underdogs who aren't afraid to bite Change your game, break the chain Get off that portion five To stage your day in the sun

You're rolling like a young gun Now it's your time to ride Let your dark horse run They can't measure your heart They can't tear you apart You'll finally catching your stride Let your dark horse run Through the fire

By the wire You're a runway train, there's no turning back Let your dark horse run This is from the The new CD that is out is called Red Bandana by Aaron Watson. It is, I don't know if I'm the only one that feels this way, but there are albums that I will always associate with summer. Yeah.

There are things that I will always associate with summer when you had the windows down and you've got the stereo cranked and you're just singing at the top of your lungs because no one can hear you. Yeah. That's this kind of album. Man, that is a great compliment. I wanted this to be something that people could enjoy. It's cinematic.

It is. I actually thought that. I did crazy things. Like, I recorded my grandmother's wind chimes. I recorded the train that passes by the ranch. I recorded my dad's AM Fuzz Radio. Hang on. More on that when we come back.

And then the record before that, Underdog became the first independent album in the history of country music to chart number one. Amazing. Which is just a testament to the first. fans. God's blessed me with the best fans. And let me just tell you, your fans are amazing.

If I texted you every time I'm at a show after a show in the merch line, I always hang out afterwards, if I texted you, and usually it's like at 1230 at night, 1 o'clock in the morning, every time someone is like, you know, I had never heard of you, but I heard you on Glenn's show and we became fans, you would be so annoyed with me texting you every night. It's amazing. They're great people. They are great fans. And you know, you know, Your fans and my fans, I think, are exactly the life. They're exactly the same. They love our independence.

They love the fact that major record labels tell me that I'm not good enough, but yet I don't give up and I keep, you know, for me, music's not an industry. It's just a family business. Like, literally, I say this jokingly, but I tell people, one of my sales pitches, I'm like, listen, all the proceeds from this album, down to the very last penny, all the proceeds go straight into my wife's purse. And I say that jokingly, but it's true. It's like, I've never been paid a penny from my record sales, but mama is doing good.

And she takes great care of our babies. Right. But I've been following you on Instagram, your kids. Yeah. You got all these. You signed them. You signed out of how many. And you had to unwrap.

Yeah. The kids help me. And let me tell you, I'll tell you where the work ethic comes from because your fans will your listeners will love this. I was about 11 years old. My dad's a disabled veteran. He was injured in Vietnam. And growing up, dad's a custodian.

It wasn't the coolest job, right? All my buddies were going swimming one day. I said, Dad, I'd like to go swimming. And dad said, I need your help cleaning the church today. And, Glenn, I complained nonstop. I was in the stall with my dad in a toilet stall. I'm cleaning. I've got the yellow gloves on.

I'm scrubbing this toilet. My dad's in the stall next to me. He's cleaning. And I'm just complaining. Dad, I didn't want to do this. I hate cleaning toilets. My buddies are swimming. I hate this.

My sweet daddy comes around the stall. And he says, hey, he goes, do you think when I was your age that I wanted to grow up to become a custodian? And it got real quiet. He said, but I got hurt in the war and life turned out differently than I thought it was going to. He said, but here's the deal. He said, God has blessed me with this job. And because of this job, I can take care of you, your sister, and your mama. He said, so you can bet that these are going to be the cleanest toilets in town. And that's how I show my thanks for this job that I've been blessed with. And I'm trying to teach that to my kids now with this record, with my business.

they help me unwrap CDs. We sign them, we box them, we ship them out, we mail them. And I've had to tell them that story about dad, about their granddad. Like, listen, granddad was cleaning toilets. I didn't want to help him out. But cleaning toilets with my dad is, those are some of my greatest memories that made me who I am today. It's called whatever you do, you need to take pride in it. And I love that my dad said, you can bet that,

that I'm going to show my appreciation for God blessing me with this job by making these the cleanest toilets in town. I love that. It's almost the Martin Luther King Street Sweeper quote where he said to the streets, where Martin Luther said to the street sweeper, clean those streets and make them so clean that if Jesus walks down those streets,

he says, man, there was one great street sweeper. You know, it's like put pride in your work. Give it your best effort. You have a song. Is this really about your? of mom and dad? Country radio. Country radio? It is. My mom, it's been a year ago, we were talking

about things that happened growing up and my dad's disabilities and she said, she looked at me and she said, I hope that I gave you a good raising. She goes, I hope that growing up in our house was good for you. And I said, mom, it was amazing.

I go, I know we had some hard times. I go, I know that you and dad weren't perfect and that you argued and there were fights and there were ups and downs. I go, but mama, I don't remember those times. There was always love. I go, mom, I remember not the fights. I remember us all making up, hugging and crying and getting through the hard times. And I just wanted to write a song from a child's perspective, a child's point of view. Children are amazing.

They're so forgiving. They don't hold grudges like adults. They are, they truly have that heart of God. It hasn't been corrupted by the world yet. I wanted to write a song from a child's perspective about my mom and dad and remember seeing them be in love and how that impacted me today. And it's a song called Country Radio. And I get to sing this song to my mom tomorrow night on the Grand Ole Opry. and I'm not going to make eye contact with her, or I'm going to lose it.

I mean, but I'm excited about mom being at the show, but there it is. Tug me in tight, say my prayers kiss my head, make me feel safe at night, walking out, holding hands, barely crack my door, turn the opera on, and waltz across the floor, I'd sneak over to the light, and I take a peek, They kept dancing all night, even if the signal got weak. I can still see on pool, silhouette swaying across the wall. Then again, we had it all. They made that little house a home full of heart and soul, just like a love song on country radio. We could sing them on, two part of our soul.

harmony tune like Loretta and Conway Johnny and June I could hear mama laughing Staddy swept her off her feet you know the sound of love has never sounded so sweet And 30 years later I've got three kids in my wife their love songs legacy the soundtrack of my life I can still see on blue so it's It's waying across the wall. Didn't have much. Then again, we had it all. It's amazing how, because I think a lot of us grew up the same.

Yeah. We weren't poor, okay? But we weren't rich, and we didn't have an awful lot, but we never felt poor. Yeah. I never felt like I didn't have anything. Right. Like I always felt like I had. had everything I needed.

Yeah. And, I mean, I don't, I mean, I don't know about you. You were maybe better than I was. Don't get me wrong. There was not stuff. There was stuff that I didn't have or didn't get for Christmas and, you know, we didn't have the latest toy or the latest whatever. So there were times you were like, how come I could get that?

How come I could? But we never felt poor. Yeah. But reflecting now, when you look back and go, you know, okay, well, maybe I'd never had the newest Michael Jordans or whatever the kids were wearing. Yeah. But it's like those aren't the things that I like relish on. now.

Like, I don't think. It's like, oh, man, it's like, you know, it's like I told my mom, I said, mom, you gave me the best upbringing mama, you know, and my dad, yes, you know what, it's like, I have such a great amount of respect for my father years later knowing that, you know what, being a custodian, cleaning those toilets, it wasn't the most popular sought after job. Yeah. But he did it. He did it so that he could take care of me, my mom and my sister.

It's amazing. And that is probably why you're a success today. Without a doubt. Because you weren't willing to sell your soul. Yeah. Even though radio doesn't play you. A lot of people think radio just plays the hits. Well, no, not necessarily.

Yeah. They'll sometimes, many times, play the selection that the record companies are giving them. Yeah. And so they don't necessarily go for an independent. No, it's, there's, there's. There's some politics involved. And we love radio and we get a lot of support from a lot of people in radio. It's those rebels that are willing to take a chance on a guy like me.

And I tell them, I'm like, guys, we're charting albums top 10, charting albums number one. We're selling out shows across the nation. I have a brand of music you can depend on. Like, I'm not here today, gone tomorrow. It's like I jokingly say this, but like my goal, I'm, I'm, My goal every month is to pay off my wife's credit card bill. And when I say that, I mean, my goal is to continue taking care of my family. Because she is not, I mean, I love your wife.

She is down to earth. She's such a rock star mom. Yeah. She's got like 100,000 followers on Instagram. And it's like people like me because they love her. And I'm cool with that. It's just it's one of those things. things that I'll tell you, I'll brag on you and your fans and your listeners is that when we came in

here with Vacero two years ago, it was sitting at around number seven or eight on the iTunes chart and on the Amazon chart. After you told your listeners to go buy this album and support independent music, it went straight number one for the rest of the week. I mean, I was, I told you on the phone the other day. I was like, listen, you really, really move the needle for us. And you're like, oh, don't you, no, I didn't. I'm like, and I said, Glenn, I wish I could tell you that I tell everyone that. But you're the only, you're, you're the guy who has given us so much support. And it's crazy how my music really appeals to your listeners.

It is honestly like it was written for my listener. It's, I love your listeners. I love them coming to my shows. It's just, it's, it's. There's, and can we just talk about it? I don't, play it in the background, please. Let me see, which song was. I don't have the list.

Here it is. What are you thinking? It was, uh, old friend. Old friend. Play, play a little bit of old friend and tell me about this. Okay. As it's playing. Go ahead.

So, I wrote this song. So, so there was the Route 91 shooting. Yes. And then the next, and everybody was so political and people were going at each other's throats about gun control, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The next day, Tom Petty dies. And there were two guys on Facebook

that were going after each other's throats. The next day when Tom Petty died, those same two guys that were going after each other's throats were posting the same thing about how much Tom Petty's music meant to them. And I thought to myself, music. Hang on. Play a little bit. So you have left

Long overdue for confessing my confession I'm the hypocrite Postal but perfect and imperfection Take your heart out of mind So you have Left wing, right wing It takes both wings for fight Can't you hear the children

singing red, yellow, black and white So stop your fighting, start uniting Sing along I think we all agree We love a Tom Petty song Yeah It's like left wing or right wing It takes both wings for flight.

Can you hear the children singing red and yellow, black and white? Stop your fight and start uniting. You know, it's like, it's that message of like, be kind to be kind. Yeah. It's like, do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's one of those things. I, I, I, I called myself the hip, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm the hypocrite poster boy, perfect and imperfection.

Right. You know, and it's just like, it's a song where it's like, be nice to others. The name of the album is Red Bandana, Aaron Watson, is the artist's name. Even if you don't like country music, I would ask that you would buy this and give it to somebody who does like country music. Because this guy works his butt off, wrote all of these songs. He charts at number one. but radio ignores him because he is a rebel and says, I want to do it my way. So he needs, I mean, he literally has sold his CDs out of the trunk of his car for years.

He has worked really hard. Send a message that, you know, play the hits. Play the hits. Buy his new CD. You will love it. It's the best he's done. It's called Red Bandana Aaron Watson. Aaron, thank you.
