Starting point is 00:00:00 Good morning, Hillary. Thank you. It is Monday, and there's a lot of new news out there today. We have real estate agentsitrust.com that are bringing to you this wonderful program today. If you are thinking of buying or selling a home this year, you've got to go to real estate agents. itrust.com. Glenn started this company a while ago with Tanya when they were in the midst of trying to sell a home and it wasn't going all that well. and they went through and talked to some of the top real estate agents in America and found some of the things that they all do. There's certain steps they all take. And one of the things they don't do is spend all the money they invest in their company
Starting point is 00:00:40 into making their face famous around town. They make sure that they are working for you to make sure your house is the priority. And that's what the people at real estate agents I trust.com do. They're fans of the program. They share your values. These are people you can trust. Go to real estate. agents.orgateagestateagestateagestrust.com. They will sell your home. Thank you, Stu. All right. Great show coming up for you.
Starting point is 00:01:07 The Biden bracket. Got to get to that this week. AOC and so much more. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glembeck program. You know, I was going to say nothing that the president seems to be doing on the border is working, but he is, is willing to change, which is great. And then I realized, no, it's not anything that the president is doing on the border. It's everything that the Congress, in both sides, really, the Republicans and the Democrats, they're not doing anything on the border. And it's getting worse and worse and worse.
Starting point is 00:01:50 And so the president is getting tougher and tougher and tougher. We begin on the border in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck program. Security systems dissuade burglars from breaking and entering your home. In fact, research by the University of North Carolina found that if a house has an alarm, 60% of burglars move on. That's pretty amazing. And what's even more amazing is how many people don't have a burglar alarm?
Starting point is 00:02:22 Now, that may be because you don't own the house so you can't wire it. maybe it's because you don't want a long-term contract, or you've seen the price of what it takes for the 24-7 monitoring and the burglar alarm. It's crazy expensive. Well, there is one company that is taking care of all of that, and that is SimplySafebec.com. You go to SimplySafebec.com. You're going to save a buttload of money.
Starting point is 00:02:51 I mean thousands of dollars. In the term of the other people's contract, compared to SimpliSafe with no contract, you will literally save thousands of dollars. Simplysafebeck.com. You go there, you pick out your security system. They have different packages, but you're smart enough to figure out how many windows you have. You don't need some sales guy coming in. So you order it, they ship it.
Starting point is 00:03:15 It's a money back guarantee. And then there's no contract for the monitoring. It's all wireless, so nobody has to wire anything. It is truly simple. and it will keep your family safe. That's why it's called SimplySafe. Go to Simplysafebeck.com, Simplysafebeck.com
Starting point is 00:03:34 and get a 10% discount right now. Can't wait to get to our Biden bracket here in just a few minutes. Also the latest on plastic bags. Oh, what a surprise. They were wrong yet again. Oh, my gosh. And AOC, I don't know if you saw AOC this weekend, but AOC all of a sudden had a new accent.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Really? Oh, you didn't see it? Oh, this is exciting. Oh, this is good stuff, Stu. You're going to love this. She's become Hillary Clinton. So we have that coming up in just a second. Also, let's start here on the border.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Things on the border are getting worse and worse and worse. And the media is in full-fledged denial. Did you see the story today about how, and we'll get to it later, how the New York Times, CNN, NPR, they are all refusing to say anything about socialism in any of their stories in regards to Venezuela. They won't use the word socialism. Specifically, the New York Times,
Starting point is 00:04:49 because I know The Washington Post did a really good story we highlighted here that went in depth and talked about socialism. It's pretty amazing what they will do to not talk about the real story. Now, how many of them are talking about the humanitarian crisis that is on the border? We said one was coming. The president said one was coming.
Starting point is 00:05:09 It was easy to see. It's so easy to just take people at their word, see what's going on, see who's involved, and be able to predict the future. When people say they're going to disrupt you, when people say they're going to kill you, when people say they're, you got my stuff, I'm coming for it. you should pay attention to that person, especially if they have the means or people are helping them with the means. They will do it. So now we have this humanitarian crisis and what's her name?
Starting point is 00:05:40 Kirsten Nielsen was let go over the weekend by the president. It's kind of sad. I feel kind of bad for her. I mean, in some ways, she was going for a meeting and had no idea she was going to be let go. Yeah, she was going into a percent of plan as to how. how to return to normalcy at least and go back to the old numbers because these are all new numbers. I mean, looking back at the last few years even, you see that the typical average month for border apprehensions is, you know, 30 or 40,000. It is crept up above that a couple of times.
Starting point is 00:06:19 For example, if you look at 2014, we talked a lot about this is when you went to the border Glenn. Remember that big crisis? 60,000, I think. Even the media admitted that was a huge crisis and that was 60,000 per month for a couple of months. Well, last month was 70,000.
Starting point is 00:06:37 And so that was a very high, you know, anything above anything we've seen for five or six years. This next month, which the official numbers get released this week, is going to be over 100,000. So we're talking about potentially double the worst months
Starting point is 00:06:53 of the past decade and will be a record And this is what we know of. This is what we need. Yeah, this is just apprehensions. Yeah, this is what we know of. We're well into a million people a year. Well into, maybe, we may be, you know, a million and a half to 1.8 million people a year coming into our country.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Yeah, they basically treat apprehensions as a proxy for how many people are actually crossing. So the more people they catch, they assume more people are getting in that aren't being caught. And that certainly makes logical sense. but as that number goes up, you know, you're getting too huge, huge, I mean, because you've got to believe, we all know that it's not exactly difficult to get across the border right now. That's the problem.
Starting point is 00:07:35 So the fact that they're catching 100,000 people means you're right. Maybe it is, you know, two and 300,000 every month that are getting in without being caught, not to mention the people who are coming here other ways as far as overstaying visas and coming through different ports of entry. So it is a, I mean, it is a, if it's, this is not a crisis, these things don't exist. And the system itself is being completely overrun. The Republicans and Trump tried to put together a proposal to say,
Starting point is 00:08:02 hey, let's expand all this, give us more detention centers so we don't have to stick people under bridges, give us more judges so we can actually process these things. And they, you know, the left rejected it. So now this crisis that could have at least had a plan to be solved has no real solution in the future that anyone can see because the Democrats essentially shoot down every single idea to try to solve it. It is crazy what's going on. Now they're saying that Nielsen is going to be hounded at her next job, that the left is she was so bad for the border.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Really? Really? She was that bad for the border. I mean, I think she was bad on the border because we have this situation. But I don't really blame anybody. I don't blame the president. I don't blame the administration on this. I blame Congress.
Starting point is 00:08:52 I blame the Republicans and the Democrats on this. Yeah, I mean, Nielsen, she's in a tough spot here because she was very loyal to the president, tried to execute everything that he did, all reporting points that direction. The issue, she's very, she's trying to do as much as she could via the rules. And, you know, the rules are restrictive. So, you know, Trump wants to get somebody who's more aggressive on that. Whether anyone could have stopped this, I don't know. I feel bad for her.
Starting point is 00:09:21 But, you know, here's what we've moved into a new age. She's now going to be threatened at her next job. The left is already targeting. Anybody who hires her is going to pay for it. How horrible is that? Here's somebody who goes and serves our country, plays by the rules, does everything right, and you want to destroy them. I mean, it is, we are turning into Nazi Germany.
Starting point is 00:09:54 We are clearly turning into Nazi Germany. I mean, we are. Nazi Germany had other deterring factors, as you know. I know, but it didn't, it wasn't Nazi Germany overnight. No, the little baby steps. It's little baby steps. And we keep taking these baby steps. We're devaluing life.
Starting point is 00:10:13 We're saying infanticide. The Congress has changed, has turned down a bill to, vote against infanticide 25 times, 25 times since they took over Congress. 25 times they've turned it down. Just the 25, though. We're, you know, sometimes you're just not sure. Do we want to kill the babies? Do we not?
Starting point is 00:10:36 You now have the government and mainly the Democrats going after Google and everyone else and saying, hey, work with us. Work with us. You now have, what's his name, Zuckerberg, saying, I want more government interference. I want more government regulation. You're starting to see that system of information merge now with the United States government. That's another step. You have the targeting of innocent people.
Starting point is 00:11:14 She didn't do anything wrong. What is she done wrong? if you go against it, they'll destroy you. That's another step. We just keep marching. I mean, soon we're going to be showing up in black uniforms with black boots and everybody's going to be like, oh, those are really nice. Do you go boss? Make those?
Starting point is 00:11:32 I mean, we are just marching toward it. And you could also make the point that socialism was a nice part of the... No, no. No, Hitler wasn't a socialist. Oh, he wasn't? No. I know Vox said that last week, which I was fascinating. to understand because this is their
Starting point is 00:11:48 thing that's like, you know, and you point out, okay, well, you know, the Nazi, you know, the National Socialist Party indicates that potentially they had some thought. However, that is, of course, a much larger conversation. I mean, Hitler said a lot of things that he was not and you could go into
Starting point is 00:12:04 really investigate that. So we decided maybe it's time to actually put this down in one place that, you know, is Hitler really a socialist? Well, yes. It started out as a two-page thing and I think it ended in like about 20. Yeah. It's on the blaze.com, by the way, if you want to go check it out. And we're going to go through it today a bit. I can't take this argument. I just,
Starting point is 00:12:26 how are you missing the national socialist? The only difference between the communists and the national socialists are the communists were international socialists and the Nazis were national socialists. Yeah. And if you know anything at all about history, you know. and most people don't, you know that Benito Mussolini is the guy who said, you know, I'm fighting in World War I and nobody's fighting for the international workers. They were fighting for their friends. They were fighting for their country. They were fighting for the workers of their country.
Starting point is 00:13:06 They weren't fighting for an international purpose. When it comes down to it, you're fighting for you and your nation. And we should do socialism. We just shouldn't do it internationally. that's how fascism was born. Right. I mean, you know, Gerbil said the difference between communism and the Hitler faith was, quote, very slight.
Starting point is 00:13:26 I mean, they did this. They said, you know, uh, I mean, oh, the Nazi flag is surrounded. The Nazi symbol is surrounded by red because Hitler said, we want to show that the, the reds,
Starting point is 00:13:40 the communists, that we have most things in common. They were friendly. They voted the same way. For years and years. years before. It's crazy. I mean, it's blatantly obvious that it's true. However, there's this sort of revisionist idea that to save socialism, they have to make a case that he's not. And there was infighting. I mean, this is very well documented that, you know, Gerbiltz was more of a socialist
Starting point is 00:14:02 than Hitler was. And he prioritized socialism over nationalism. I mean, and you know, Hitler, I think it's fair to say, number one, a lot of his priorities went down the train because he's number one thing was killing lots of Jews. So he sacrificed a lot of the things that he believed in for that, including things like environmentalism. I mean, Hitler, the Nazi party was one of the biggest, really the first environmentalist parties. Now, when they were... Big environmental.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Big, I mean... Big animal lovers, animal rights, too. To this day, modern environmentalists look back at what they did in Germany and say it was actually ecologically beneficial to Germany. Now, once they started getting in wars, they started working in wars, they started rolling tanks over lots of trees and they let a lot of those environmentalist principles go. Some of that happened with socialism and they didn't follow the doctrine of the day all the way through the regime, but that was absolutely part of their plan.
Starting point is 00:14:59 The biggest argument is that he just took over. He wasn't democratically elected. Right. Yeah. Yeah, well, that's the way it always ends. Sure. That's the way it always ends. At some point, I mean, look at Chavez.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Chavez laid the groundwork. socialism. Then the next guy was elected. Then they started having trouble. And so they were like, we got to take over. And so they just either rig the elections or they suspend the elections. That's what happens every single time. This, this democratic bull crap is just that. It's, it's enough to get the socialist elected. And then when there's trouble, they suspend them or, or fix them. Yeah. And eventually there becomes inter-party squabbles, and that happened with the Nazis, where some, the people who are super pro-socialist, well, if it was someone else with a power base other
Starting point is 00:15:56 than Hitler, he killed them all. Right. Eventually, you get to that point. That doesn't mean that Hitler didn't like socialism. And I want to show you, coming up in a few minutes, I want to show you also the disturbing things that were said on the campaign trail by the left. and every candidate on the trail. Anything from the Prime Minister of Israel is a racist to, again, the free market system is what's going to kill our democracy. Well, we're not a democracy.
Starting point is 00:16:28 And if you think the free market will kill our republic, you're sadly mistaken, but you need to know who is running for the Democratic nomination. And that was said by a guy I think actually has a better chance of winning, than most people do. We'll have that coming up. Also the Biden bracket next. First, one minute, and then we're back into the show. 50 million people miss work due to pain.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Pain has become an epidemic in America. Started taking relief factor for a long time. My doctor said, you can't work out. You can't do anything. And I was like, okay, well, I'm getting fatter and fatter and worse and worse. What am I going to do? Well, just stop eating so much. Okay, well, that's not helping me either.
Starting point is 00:17:12 So I was not able to work out just because it was just so painful. Now I'm rowing and I'm walking and I'm feeling better every day. And the reason is relief factor. It has played a huge, huge role in my life and in my recovery, relief factor.com. I want you to go there now. Try it for three weeks. If it works for you, your life is going to change.

Starting point is 00:18:14 So, Stu, I have not been to the Biden bracket.com yet. Oh, you need to go. Okay. Now, this is a, this is a Glenn Beck program website, Biden Brackett, that we put together last week.com. And this is, this is for you. Round one is today. Now, we're going to announce the winner, the champion, if you will, on Thursday, which would be the creepiest picture of Joe Biden. Right. Which one do you think it is? We have 32 picks. There's matchups like it's a, you know, obviously the NCAA.
Starting point is 00:18:54 This is hard today. You've got the, oh, you've got the biker one and the Alito going head to add? Yeah, I've got a one seat. And, you know, the picture of Joe Biden's hand on, you know, the knee of Sam Alito is a little creepy. But of course, the biker picture, I expect to be one of the favorites to win the whole thing. As of right now, you can vote on any of these matchups. I'm voting right now. Ooh, spooky.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Oh, he's got some. There's some spooky ones here. You've got the picture of the former defense secretary for Joe Biden, Ash Carter, and his wife, the hands on the wife there. You got a really awkward hug going on there with, I don't know who that is, but it's a really tight hug. The hand, you know, the picture with him kind of like, I don't, almost groping the teenager and the red dress is really,
Starting point is 00:19:48 really creepy one. That one is that one in the red dress. That's not even the creepiest frame from that video. He like is cupping her breast at one point. No, he is not. He's not. There's a lot of Photoshop's going on. He's not cupping her breast at any moment during that video.
Starting point is 00:20:05 However, it is creepy. And she even notices it. The frame that they picked was when he kind of looks down. She's looking down at it. He's like talking to the mom. And she's looking down and like, what's going on with his hand right here? It is not pretty. It's creepy.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Joe Biden, you know, lots of close hugging, leaning in to the 13-year-old girl, which is this daughter of Chris Coons. That one's out there. Whenever, have you noticed when I'm voting, whenever there's children involved, it almost always is unanimous. It shows you the results of the votes.
Starting point is 00:20:46 You kind of figure that that is. There's one, he's laying a big wet kiss on his mom. And that one's weird. Just weird. Look, everyone loves, yeah, like, you love your mom. But this is a... Wow, people are voting, right? People are voting quickly now.
Starting point is 00:21:00 It is, again, you can go to Bidenbracket.com. And this, we're going to reveal the winner. You can only vote for round one today. Yep. So round once today. Then we go into the round of 16 tomorrow. I think the round of eight is on Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:21:19 And then the final final five. and the final game will all happen on Thursday, building up to the announced winner happening during the Glenn Beck program on television on Thursday, which happens to be the candidate profile of Joe Biden, the expose, the dossier. I'll tell you, forget about all of the weird, creepy pictures of him. That is not what's going to stop him from being president. And I think, I said on Friday, I think there's a good chance that he doesn't run because of what we're going to expose.
Starting point is 00:21:50 and I'm not saying that we're going to stop it. It's going to come out. The stuff that we have is, it has been pulled from several different sources.

The Glenn Beck program, Pat Gray joins us. He just finished taping his
Starting point is 00:24:09 podcast, which you can hear at blazTV.com. And you can listen to him on Blaze Radio as they tape every morning. You can hear it live. The podcast starts at 7 a.m. Eastern. Central. Okay. Five months. Four Pacific. Thank you. Hawaii time. I believe three in the morning. Okay. Good. Thank you very much. Nobody's getting up that time of day. Okay. All right. So we have a lot. Well, you could be a very late night in Hawaii and you can listen to you. It's true. All right. We have a couple of things. First, I want to get to AOC over the weekend. This woman is an actress. And she proved this weekend a very bad actress. There is something going on with. the Democrats, they are inauthentic. And this is going to be their undoing. They are arrogant and inauthentic.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Cory Booker, Spartacus, inauthentic. He's playing a role and he's bad. Barack Obama, in many ways, was playing a role. He played a role. Whenever he spoke in front of black audiences, his dialect changed.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Van Jones, he says all the time. He's a chameleon. He can change. and morph into whoever he's around. He's probably the best at it. You had Hillary Clinton, absolutely inauthentic. You have Elizabeth Warren. I'm a Native American, absolutely inauthentic.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Now you have AOC. Now there was this great expose done by a guy named Mr. Reagan. I don't know anything about him, but we checked into all of the stuff that he talked about, and it was right. He claims that she is a basically a contest winner with a Democratic progressive group, a Democratic socialist group. They were looking to cast a role, and she was the best one that they could find. And so they have brought her along. That's how she won.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Group is Justice Democrats. Now, here she is over the weekend talking to a group, an African-American group, And she decides that she's going to do her best Hillary Clinton and try to sound black. Listen. This is what organizing looks like. This is what building power looks like. This is what changing the country looks like. It's when we choose to show up and occupy the room and talk about the things that matter most talking about our future.
Starting point is 00:26:52 You know, Reverend, you bring up a funny anecdote, and I'm proud to be a bartender. Ain't nothing wrong with that. Ain't nothing wrong, there's nothing wrong with working retail, folding clothes for other people to buy. Stop, just a second. This is so insulting. It is. No one, everybody worked one of those two jobs, basically. Working at a restaurant or working at retail, everybody worked one of those jobs.
Starting point is 00:27:18 And who is criticizing people that more bartenders are fold clothes? I don't know anybody. Nobody. This is, this is so insulting. Notice how slow she's talking. Yeah. And she's using incorrect grammar as if that's the black experience. I don't feel no way's tired.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Of course, referring to Hillary Clinton, do we have the Hillary Clinton? I don't feel no ways tired. I come too far. I don't feel no way's tired. All right. All right, all right. I don't know how she lost. I don't either.
Starting point is 00:27:54 I don't know. This is crazy. Play the rest of the AOC. There is nothing wrong with preparing the food that your neighbors will eat. There is nothing wrong with driving the buses that take your family to work. Huh. That's weird. Who said there was?
Starting point is 00:28:14 But who knew she was all of a sudden so black? You want to talk about cultural appropriations. This is, you know, wearing a dress that you think, oh, I love that. Wearing a, you know, wearing something that is southwestern, that is Native American, that drives me nuts. It drives me nuts. That's not talking down. That's holding up. That's not stealing.
Starting point is 00:28:41 That's holding up. That's saying, this is great. What is this? This is talking down. It's insulting. I think so. And it shows what a panderer she is. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:28:59 An actress. She's an actress. And a terrible one. Again, a terrible one. Just like Hillary was a terrible one. It's agonizing. But, you know, her brand of socialism is popular with the millennials. And it's popular because the socialist countries on this planet are doing so well.
Starting point is 00:29:19 You know, like Venezuela, the people there right now, well, they might not be doing as well as it like. They are demanding power and water. Oh, my gosh. Will these people- Power and water? Jeez. You believe it. You greedy bastards.
Starting point is 00:29:38 I can't. Why do you pick one. Did you? Okay, we could get you some water or maybe some electricity, but not. I mean, any moron knows if you may be. mix electricity and water. It's a bad thing. Electricution.
Starting point is 00:29:52 You're going to get yourself electric. And you ask for water. Next thing you want is a straw. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yes. And you just expect it.
Starting point is 00:30:01 We all know, thank you, California, that you have to ask for water. What do you want a socialist utopia? All of a sudden. You see, did you see Bernie Sanders coming out and said, I am not, you know, look, I'm not a,
Starting point is 00:30:14 I'm not a Soviet-style socialist. list. Since when? You took vacation. You took your honeymoon. Thank you. To the Soviet Union. I came back and praised it. He loved it. He loved it. He said, I'm, you know, I'm more a Norway guy. That's not socialism.
Starting point is 00:30:34 That's a big welfare state on the back of a free market system. If you look, they are more free economically than we are. They have less regulation. They have less of everything. they are able to actually start their own businesses in ways that we are no longer allowed to. Could we also talk about those Scandinavian countries and the kind of lifestyle they live? They don't live like Americans do. They live in tiny little boxes that are 920 square feet on average.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Which is fine for them. Which is fine. And they love it, I guess, because the rest of their money goes to paying for other people's education and other people's medicine. I love this. I saw this documentary. who was it that did it? I'll have to look it up, but I saw this documentary on it. And the Norwegians were like saying,
Starting point is 00:31:25 to think that you could make America into Sweden or Norway is ridiculous. We are a different culture. We were raised this way. This is totally different. This is not America. And then how many people were offended saying that they were socialists? They're like, we're not socialist. We're free.
Starting point is 00:31:46 They're also homogenized. Yes. And it's completely different than the United States. My son lived there for two years on his mission. And he said, you know, love the people, though he did, they're incredibly racist because they've not been subjected to any kind of diversity. And now they're being subjected to that. And they don't like it.
Starting point is 00:32:06 And so I don't know if they're racist as much as they are pointing out what's going on in their country. Possibly. They were very, very open. They were a very open society. I mean, when we were there, you weren't with me. Of course, now you're just too dangerous. The dangers of Norway, yes.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Don't laugh. This was in Sweden. When I was there, we went to one of the suburbs, and it's there, it's all segregated now. I mean, self-segregation. The Muslims are living in one area, and the non-Muslims and the Swedes are living in other areas. So we went in and it's where riots had been happening. And we went in with our cameras and we were standing around. And all of a sudden, my security detail grabbed me by the collar.
Starting point is 00:32:56 And everyone, they said, to the car, right now, right now. Go, go, go, go, go. And they were rushing us. And they said, we were on the verge of a meltdown. And you could see it in the camera shots. All of a sudden, we were surrounded by all of these Muslim men. Well, we come home and about three months later, 60 minutes in Australia was doing a report in exactly the same location. And they were beaten to a pulp.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Wow. People don't understand. It is not a friendly place. It is the Muslim communities there are very, very militant. And they do not want to become part of Sweden. They are there for the free stuff. Yeah. And they're getting free stuff on the backs of the rest of the population.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Yeah. But I wanted to mention this new documentary that's coming out. There's a film from a British director that's going to premiere 25 years after O.J. Simpson went on trial for murder. And it is said to prove that OJ was a victim of a conspiracy. Oh, my gosh. And he's completely innocent of the charges. Victim of the conspiracy. I'm excited to see it.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Do we know who was behind the conspiracy? Was it Michael Jackson? Was that what they were doing? He was with the kids in the closet eating candy. Well, it doesn't say, but... We do know this. We do know O.J. was desperately seeking the killer on golf courses all over America. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:35 We know he was doing that. Where else do you find people slicing every day? Every day. Golf courses. Right. Exactly. Well, if it wasn't for, Ron and Nicole conspiring together.
Starting point is 00:34:46 This wouldn't have happened. Amen, brother. Hopefully they point that out. So bizarre. They're trying to rescue OJ? Yeah, he says it's a compelling case. And we shouldn't be rushing to judgment like we have over the last 25 years. That's not a rush.
Starting point is 00:35:03 It's not a rush to judgment. What do you want us to do? We rushed to judgment the first time when he is on the road and people were standing on the bridges holding signs. Run, OJ. Run. That was a rush to judgment. 25 years later, we're all like, yeah, he did it. We've had time to think about it. Clearly he did it.

So every home buyer is different, and it's really important to avoid the lenders with a one-size-fit-all approach, especially if their loan officers get paid a commission. Most do. When you are working with a loan officer, they're not, they're not, they're not working for you. They're working for you with the bank as its priority. Watch Mary Poppins returns.

Starting point is 00:36:41 Welcome to the program. We're so glad that you're. here. We have a couple of things coming up. I want to go over some of the candidates that are running, and I just want to keep you up to speed on how extreme these candidates are. And I feel compelled, strangely, right now to tell you that you need to keep a journal and keep a journal of what is going on and the facts that are going on. And write it on paper. Don't keep it on. Don't keep it on. Don't keep it on electronic, but just keep a journal of who's running and what's going on and what the news is every day. It's pretty remarkable. Today, we're looking at Pete Buttigieg, who is now strangely
Starting point is 00:37:29 coming up from behind, and he's this mayor from, what's a South Bend, Indiana. And he is this soft-spoken guy, but he is a socialist. Make no bones about it. Certainly, the policies he's talking about now seem to be that direction. I love to hear from people in South Bend. He said over the weekend, he said over the weekend that he is, he thinks the free market is destroying our democracy. I mean, there's a couple of problems with that.
Starting point is 00:38:06 he is he's talking about how the free market system is becoming an oligarchy well that's you're right and that's because we are not enforcing the rules of the free market system we have a government that has gone bad and we should not have a democracy we should have a republic democracies always die they always die quickly um the other thing i want to get into is um that Hitler was not a socialist, that the Nazis were not socialists. It's time to correct this and do it in a forceful way. And I started writing something the other day, and then I sent it around to some of the researchers and everybody started adding onto it.
Starting point is 00:38:52 And that thing became just like 20 pages. But it's pretty thorough. It's not as thorough as any of us would like because you write a whole book on this. but it's a pretty good cliff notes version on no he was he was a socialist and the and the Nazis were a socialist with all of the facts you can find it at the blaze.com or at glenbeck dot com and we're going to go over some of that today because I think this is important to correct and when you say you were worried about some of the candidates do you mean candidates for creepiest joe Biden photo because I'm very worried about a lot of these candidates right now
Starting point is 00:39:32 at Bidenbracket.com. They're not switching to the ones. Are people voting our way? Because if not, we got to take their vote away. Oh, no. They seem to be definitely voting the way we would. I think for the most part, there's some controversial ones in there. I mean, this is the first round of the tournament, right?
Starting point is 00:39:47 Yeah. You know, you've got a one seed. I mean, we have 32 pictures on this one. So it's like one seat versus a 32, right? Like, although I will say that the one versus 32, I would identify as the Joe Biden biker photo is the number one seat. tournament. The 32 is a picture of Joe Biden leaning over and putting his hand on the thigh of Samuel
Starting point is 00:40:09 Alito. And if that's the 32 seed, I mean, you can tell. I kind of thought that one had a chance to advance in the tournament, but go to Bidenbracket.com.

Starting point is 00:44:29 itrust.com. Selina Zito joins us. She's the co-author of The Great Revolt, a must read for anybody who wants to understand politics and what's really going on in America today. And she wrote an article in the New York Post how, Pete, is it booted, booted edge? Boot edge.
Starting point is 00:44:56 How do you say it? Buttig edge. It's like saying edge twice. Okay. booted edge. boot edge edge i can't say it he can't be president okay so Pete so mayor Pete uh he uh you wrote how he could hurt Trump in the rust belt first of all explain who this guy is for most people who who may not know him so mayor Pete uh has been the mayor of south bent indiana since 2011
Starting point is 00:45:24 youngest elected mayor at 29 uh he has uh served our country um he is a Harvard grad. He, what else? He speaks eight languages. Oh my gosh. And yeah, I know. You feel really dumb when you're saying. I know. I can't even pronounce his last name. The guy speaks eight languages. He's deeply faithful. What does that mean? Wait, wait, what does that mean deeply faithful? Yeah, he takes his faith incredibly seriously. He's a devout Episcopalian.
Starting point is 00:45:56 It's a very much part of his life. And how, how he, he, he's, his worldview is held. Now, remember, though, Episcopalians tend to be much, there's a portion of the Episcopalians that are incredibly liberal. So I also think that's an important component to understand about his faith. Yeah, that's a social justice religion many times. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And so he's very accomplished. And he made the decision that a lot of millennials make, and they come back, not a lot, but a size of a portion of millennials do. come and they come back to their hometown and try to be part of of fixing of the problem.
Starting point is 00:46:39 And so is he liked, is he liked in town? He's never had to run on any national issues, as you should always run when you're running for local office. It's fixing the roads and the bridges and making sure that the garbage is picked out. And does he do a good job at that? Does he do a good job of that? Yeah, absolutely. Is there...
Starting point is 00:47:05 Has there been corruption in his town and has he cleaned it up? Been working on that. Within his own administration, no. Okay, good. You know, it's... All right. So, yeah, he... In terms of the manager, he does a good job of that.
Starting point is 00:47:26 And in my interview, when I interviewed him, I also interviewed that guy who's at the opposite end, who has to work with him on things, and they don't always agree on issues. His name was Jeff Ray. He was a Republican mayor from a neighboring town who now runs the chamber. So they have to work together a lot. So I thought that was an interesting component to put in there because you had to understand how he works with opposing views.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Okay. So I read an article and I have to apologize for the last hour. I've been misrepresenting his position because I just heard the actual audio. and that's not what I read this morning. He is, is he a socialist or a capitalist? He tries to walk both lines. So if you, in my interview with him, well, the thing is what he has going for him, Glenn. He doesn't talk down to people.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Yes. He will eat a chick-fil-A. Yes. And he doesn't have a problem with that. Right. And he's able to talk about faith in an authentic way. Mm-hmm. Full stop.
Starting point is 00:48:44 When he does not have going for him, and he's pretty far left. In our interview, he says that he supports a woman's right to have an abortion in the third trimester. He believes that we need to look at raging taxes. He's for a lot of these sort of freebies in terms of like health care and childhood preschool education.
Starting point is 00:49:10 How about college? Energy. He also likes to have it both ways on that. He's not very defined on that. In all honesty, in my interview with him, we didn't get in there. But we did get in there, and I think this is a really important component, is that on energy, he's a solar wind guy. And I said to him, I said, look, we had 30% capacity last year.
Starting point is 00:49:39 We have all these shale jobs, and we have the nuclear capabilities. He was not having anything of that. He wants to go full solar and full wind and be able to develop a battery so that we are able to do that. You would have a solar wind farm, the size of California. Where does he want to put that? Okay, right in South Bend, I'm sure. Right, right in South Bend. In Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and other parts of the Midwest, energy jobs are crushing it.
Starting point is 00:50:17 I mean, not only are, I mean, if you look in my story today in the Washington Examiner, I interviewed the head of the Labor Council Board in the, in the region. And he's the guy who got Connor Lamb elected in my district. And he's the guy who got Pam Iovino elected in that special election last week. Why? Because he ran moderate Democrats, supportive of these, of these energy jobs. We're in high schools who provide these technical classes that are able to walk out and start making $70,000 a year. In the Paris of Appalachia, where I live in Pittsburgh, that's a lot of money. And that also strengthens communities.
Starting point is 00:51:10 And he, his name is Darren telling me, he tells me, when we come here talking about the New Green Deal, my guys are not going to vote for them. And I think that that is the challenge that I've run. wrote about in the Great Revolt in terms of a 2020 election. So if Democrats go full left, they had a problem. So here's the thing that, that I see about him that I think is appealing, if America still is at all the America that I have always thought she was, because I don't think that the Democratic voters are haters. I don't think that Republican voters are haters. And I think they're really sick and
Starting point is 00:52:01 tired of being called names, of being taught to hate. They just, they don't want anything to do with it. And when I see this guy who is gay, A, that's a, that's a huge, that's a huge plus. If he becomes the nominee, that would be, you know, the first gay president and, you know, it would be historic and blah, blah, blah, it would carry its own numbers with it. At the same time, he's gay, but he's not, he doesn't hate Chick-fil-A, which I think is so refreshing. He's still talking about faith. It plays a role with him, and it seems genuine. And I think that's where Americans are. They may not, they may not agree with religion here and there, but they don't hate God and they don't hate church. You know, he's, He's a guy that doesn't seem to hate America, seems to like America.
Starting point is 00:53:00 And he seems genuine. Where you've got Cory Booker and all the rest of them, even AOC is, you know, with her speech this weekend, I think she's becoming a phony. He seems genuine and he's not going to, he's not a puncher. And a lot of people would say that that's a bad thing going against Donald Trump. but I don't think you're going to punch Donald Trump out. You're going to have to, you have to go the opposite way. And I think so far this is the only guy that I've seen that might be able to do that. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:34 Americans love aspiration. They will love to be part of something bigger than themselves. And that's the thing that Mayor Pete has going for him. He's served his country in Afghanistan. So he doesn't, like you said, he doesn't hate his country. He respects people of faith. He doesn't, he's not condescending. He, like, you know, he lives in South Bend, Indiana, the same exact town that Hillary Clinton
Starting point is 00:54:00 needs to go to for an event at Notre Dame University. Because why? I don't need to win over white Catholics. I got this. And he, he doesn't take, you know, these voters for granted. So he has all that in his favor. Conversely, what he doesn't have in his favor are his policies. And we'll see how he navigates that through a primary.
Starting point is 00:54:26 And if he's able to strike a balance on a lot of these things going left, he could be a formidable force against the president. But his challenge is going through the primary. I think Selena's going to be interesting to see because he's never faced any pushback. I mean, he kind of has come out of nowhere the last couple of weeks. And so far has not seen the wrath of 20 other Democratic candidates who all. also want to win this nomination. I mean, do they have places to go? Because they can't beat him up on he's socialist.
Starting point is 00:54:57 They're all socialist, too, or at least believe in many of the same policies. Where are they going to attack him? Well, I think they might attack him on being white. It might actually come down to that, a white male. That's a real sort of problem with the woke crowd. If you saw the slate story about him last. week you saw the first sort of nibbles at that. Which they said gay isn't intersectional enough.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Just being gay doesn't make him a guy that understands the plight, right? Yeah, I don't know anybody that talks like that. I don't either. I don't know. I don't know them either. I have interviewed, you know, hundreds of Democrats. just in the past few weeks. And when I say the word intersectional, they're like, wait, what?
Starting point is 00:55:57 Okay, so, you know, so, so Selena, let me take a quick break. Come back in a minute. I want to ask you about that. I want to ask you what do you think is really going on, what the heart of the Democratic Party is when it comes to the people who are actually voting in the center of the country? What are they thinking and what are they feeling? Welcome to Selena Zito.
Starting point is 00:56:21 here in just a second. She's the one that got it right on Donald Trump, and I mean really right on Trump way early because she talks to people. She's not one of these reporters that just flies in. She actually drives the country and talks to people. I want to talk to you a little bit about Norton, Norton Security. When I say Norton Security, know what it is. You know that it is a company that is a trusted name in the security online. You may not know anything else about it, but you know that it's been around for a long time talking about security and keeping people's computers safe now norton security has just come out with a vpn norton dot com slash vpn you may not know what a VPN is right now but trust me you're going to uh i think vpns are going to become extraordinarily
Starting point is 00:57:12 important as everybody is monitoring everything that you do, everything that you look at, every keystroke, as Facebook and Google is tracking you, a VPN stops all of that. Yeah. I mean, especially when you, not to mention all the data breaches, right? I mean, they had a data breach that was supposed to affect 763 million people. And they did just revise it slightly to 2 billion. Oh, but that's it. But that's it.
Starting point is 00:57:40 Just the 2 billion people. So there's no need to protect yourself online at all. No need. Don't worry about it. Norton.com slash VPN. Price starts at about $3.33 a month if you go for the year's subscription. It's Norton.com slash VPN. Protect yourself now.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Norton.com slash VPN. Break for 10 seconds. Then back to Selena. Selena. As you're looking at the American people and you're looking at the Democrats, they are going further and further less. They're talking about the end of the free market system, an end to capitalism. They are going for infanticide now, not just third term, but also infanticide.
Starting point is 00:58:35 It seems to me they are overplaying their hand every step of the way. But I don't see the reaction from the Democrats who are in the country who, you know, for instance, you look over to England. And the people who have been members of the Labor Party for a long time are like, look, we're becoming anti-Semitic and crazy. And I want nothing to do with any of this. But I haven't seen people walk away from it yet. What's happening? So it's really incredibly interesting dynamic, Glenn. So take a look at AOC's election in 2018.
Starting point is 00:59:13 She won the primary vote, which is essentially where the election is held. because it's a Democratic district. And she ran, she won that election, but look who she won. If you look at the exits, she won white intellectuals. She did not win minorities. She did not win the working class. So the Democratic Party has become the party of white intellectuals that is carried by the press, many of whom live in those same zip codes or share those values.
Starting point is 00:59:53 But it's in great contrast with working class Democrats and suburban Democrats, suburban Democrats who don't share those same values. Job creation, the health and welfare of their community, which means infrastructure, and prosperity in the country. Those values among working class Democrats and suburban Democrats. When it doesn't, it's not divided by Keller. You have to remember that a lot of working class blacks and suburban blacks in the Democrat within the Democratic Party are also incredibly pro-life. So you do not see them being supportive of the third trimester abortion.
Starting point is 01:00:52 and you don't and suburban Democrats who do you think they all want medic which is essentially Medicaid for all right let's be let's be really honest it's not Medicare for all it's Medicaid for all you that impacts their um their bottom line you know that impacts they don't want to give their health care up to for everyone to have the same health care and for everyone to and for them to um pay for everybody to have the same health care is is this just just mad delusion on the on the part of the democratic leadership they are appealing to what they perceive is the ascending um of electorate's um point of you they believe that this is what women and young people this is this is what the what um would you agree with them
Starting point is 01:01:46 is appealing to no okay i i i didn't think think so, but I mean, I just don't, I don't know any of, I don't know anybody that, that believes in these things. And, and yet I don't see, I don't see Democrats standing up and saying, what the hell is wrong with you people? Well, because look what happens when you stand up and say that. You get destroyed. You say that on social media. You say it in a story. You know, I interview you people and they'll be like, you know, if I say my name, I'm, this is my life's going to become hell. You know, people are very, very reluctant to say this. But I think when we look at the first result coming out of these primary contests, we're going to understand much better how people
Starting point is 01:02:42 feel. Remember this. And this was in the book, The Great Revolt, 34% of people who voted for Donald Trump didn't count anybody. Not the first. their wife, not their kids, not their co-workers, anybody. And I think you find this same sort of dynamic with Democrats, not that they're going to support Trump, but that they're afraid to come out and say, I'm not a 16-year-old voting. I'm not for destroying the electoral college. Thank you. You're listening to Glenn.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Appreciate it, Selena. She is the best. We'll have her back on early and often. I want to talk to a little bit about Filterby. If you haven't noticed this yet, there is a, at least in some parts of the country, there's that green film on your car.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Again, that is unlike one of the mayors and where was it, one of the Carolinas was like, and it was racist. They sprayed our car with, no, you just left it out of the garage. That's called pollen. Anyway, pollen is in the air.

Starting point is 01:04:29 You can read Selina Zito's article how Pete Buttigieg could hurt Trump in the Rust Belt. We'll tweet that out. Also get her book, The Great Revolt, available everywhere. Well, our social studies classes are indoctrinating and churning out new socialists and new democratic thoughts. and I don't mean Democratic as in, you know, the Democratic Party. I mean that we're a democracy, not a republic. We are a republic. And it does make a difference.
Starting point is 01:05:03 It's very important. And socialism is very important to define, but you'll notice we're not really defining that. People are trying to define that as really only Sweden. Of course, not, not Cuba, not Venezuela, not any place that it's failed. well it's failed every place no no not Sweden not Copenhagen not Denmark not not any not any of those great countries you know way up north with tulips and snow that's not a socialist country the prime minister of was it it wasn't Sweden I can't remember one of the prime ministers came to the United States and said I just want to make it clear we are not a socialist country and if you look at the freedom scale they are more free in business than we are they are more pro free market than we are they just have a gigantic welfare state now the other thing is is people are saying that
Starting point is 01:06:05 Hitler was not a socialist and it is important for people to know that there are many forms of socialism but they all end up the same way because eventually you run out of somebody else's money and you can't you can't keep the system going And also, as our founders knew, when you put somebody really in charge and you make them a God, that's trouble. That's why all of our presidents recently have had way too much power. So we put together something because the Vox said, you know, the Nazis weren't socialist, and they did this big piece on it. And I started writing something. I started sending around to the researchers on the team.
Starting point is 01:06:45 And everybody was like, no, no, no, we got to add this. No, we got to add this. So it ended up to be less of a cliff notes version. but we could write a whole book on it. But I want to give you some of the highlights. It's available today at the blaze.com. Yes, Virginia, Hitler really was a socialist. People are saying that the Nazis were not socialist.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Let me just give you some of the facts. And they say that, you know, they were not socialist because of, you know, several reasons. They were anti-communists. They were anti-Marxists. they were racist, they were nationalists, they were fascists. Well, let's let's take this one at a time. First of all, we're the Nazis, socialists. Well, yes, you know, Nazi was a pejorative.
Starting point is 01:07:35 You didn't say that in the paper. You never called them Nazis. The Nazis, that was a pejorative word. They were the national socialists. That's what they were. And if you look back, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party were very, very clearly socialist. They were, they, they, they, in fact, let me just give you this.
Starting point is 01:07:59 In, um, in I think it was 1923, 1920, 1920, here it is 1920. They, they put together their basic declaration of independence, 25 points of what they wanted. And yes, it's riddled with anti-Semitic stuff. But I want you to listen to this. this because this is what Hitler, he arranged this meeting of 2,000 people and he stood up and he said, here's our platform. And later on, refused to change a word of it. No, all the way to his death. Not one word of this platform was ever changed. We demand that the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood and a way of life for the citizens. That can be found now
Starting point is 01:08:43 in the new Green Deal. The first obligation of every citizen must be to productively work mentally and physically. That is in the communist constitution. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interest of the universality, the state, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all. Does that sound like communism? Does that sound like what's happening in Venezuela? We demand the breaking of debt, interest, slavery. Does that sound like the socialists here? in consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people. Personal enrichment through war must be designated as a crime against the people. We demand total confiscation of all war profits.
Starting point is 01:09:32 We demand the nationalization of all previous associated industries. Now listen to that. Do you hear Elizabeth Warren and others calling for the nationalization of certain industries? Yes. We demand the expansion on a large scale of old age welfare. We're talking about that now. We demand the immediate communalization of the great warehouses and they're being leased at low cost to small firms,
Starting point is 01:10:03 the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the state, county, or municipality. The state has been responsible for the fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program. Does that sound familiar like pre-un universal education, that they are in total control? The comprehension of the concept of the state must be striven for by the school as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the state of outstanding intellectual gifted children of poor parents. We demand legal opposition to known lies and their promulgation through the press. publications which are counter to the general good are to be forbidden. The good of the community before the good of the individual.
Starting point is 01:10:56 For the execution of all of this, we demand the formation of a strong centralized power. This was their declaration of independence. This was what they said they wanted. And again, this was put into place in the 1920s, and it never, ever was changed. changed. He didn't change even after he became a dictator, not a single word. Now, one of the arguments is as well, they weren't the true socialist party. There were already socialist and communist parties. Yes, just as there are now. They're the Democratic socialist here in America, the socialist party, the Green Party, the Communist Party. That doesn't mean you can't start a new,
Starting point is 01:11:39 you know, socialist party today. And it doesn't mean that they're not all socialists. They all are socialists. The Nazis were fascists, not socialists, is another argument. And we know that socialism is left wing. No, the origins of right and left, really important. This is European, because it started on the tennis courts of King Louis before the French Revolution. The lords and the ladies and the courtier were all, they were all seated on the,
Starting point is 01:12:14 tennis court. And what was what happened was those who were loyal to the king were on the right. Those who favored a people's independence and democracy were on the left. Well, okay, wait a minute. You're telling me that people who believe in the Constitution would accept a king or a dictator? I don't care who it was. George Washington was against a king and a dictator. And a dictator. And anyone who claims to be and is a constitutionalist is against all of that. They were fascists. They weren't socialists. Well, no.
Starting point is 01:12:59 They were the National Socialist Party. Fascism, you know, wasn't really, you could look through all of the newspapers of the past. Every single newspaper of the past. They were always called. the National Socialist Workers Party. That's what they were called. Mussolini referred to himself in his own diaries 12 days before he died and was hung by a piano wire. He claimed he was a socialist.
Starting point is 01:13:31 Well, was he a fascist? Yes. Was he also a socialist? Yes. His party was the Italian Social Republic. Well, Nazis only adopted the title of socialist for political reasons. No. actually, a more fair assessment was that they were socialists, and they also had other ideas
Starting point is 01:13:56 like anti-Semitism. Every socialist leader at the time started the same way. They start with these grand, big ideas, and it's all going to be a utopia, and then they try them out, and then it doesn't work, and it doesn't achieve anything that's practical in the real world, and so instead, they become a dick, dictator and they turn to violence and torture and autocratic rule to maintain their vision. This has happened. Ask Mao.
Starting point is 01:14:24 Ask Stalin. Ask Maduro. Ask President Z. Ask Castro. Che. Lenin. Hitler. This is the way it ends.
Starting point is 01:14:35 The Nazis were staunchly anti- Quickly on that last one. I think a lot of people have trouble with that because Hitler did prioritize other parts of his platform of national. socialism at many different points during his career. But it's like, you know, a lot of people, especially on the left, like people at Vox and stuff don't, you know, have trouble with this one. But it's like if you were asked, like what's your favorite, do you like peanut butter or
Starting point is 01:14:58 jelly better? Peanut butter. Peanut butter. Does that mean you don't like jelly? No. If you like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and you say you like peanut butter more than jelly, that does not mean you don't like jelly, you're still eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Starting point is 01:15:12 And this idea that you can't have more than one priority, is something that is only utilized by people who are trying to make a fraudulent argument on this. Like they try to make it look like, well, at times, they say this is a lot about communism. Well, he was against communists. And that supposedly makes him, you know, anti-socialism, anti-communism. Well, that's just not the truth. They voted the same way. A lot of the programs were the same.
Starting point is 01:15:39 They weren't an identical party. And the fact that he killed, I mean, people who are very similar kill each other all the I mean, look at the Middle East. You have people who have slight differences in religion and they wind up in, you know, multi-century battles over it. It's like saying that Iran is not an Islamic country because Saudi Arabia is an Islamic country. Right. And they don't like each other.
Starting point is 01:16:03 Right. Well, no, they have different versions. Yes. You know, they're both, in my opinion, just as twisted, but they are enemies. And that is the difference between national socialism and in. international socialism, which is communism. And then combine those mild differences with a power struggle, you get lots of murders. And that's what happened in this case.
Starting point is 01:16:25 Yes. Nazis were racist. And we all know that socialists, socialists aren't racist. What? What? First of all, let's look at their racism. Yes, they were very, very racist. But this comes from Marx, Marx, the Jewish question, 1844.
Starting point is 01:16:46 an essay. The Jewish question. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huxtering. What is the worldly God? Money. I mean, it just goes on and on and on. You can read this at the blaze.
Starting point is 01:17:02 But please, please, socialism needs a boogeyman. It needs one. It has to have an enemy of the people. And so they each find their own enemy of the people. in the Americanized version of socialism, it's Gordon Gecko or Donald Trump or even the white man, the banker, the Jew. You're seeing the Jew happen again over and over and over.
Starting point is 01:17:30 It has to, it becomes racist because you need to shove people and people don't like to kill other people, but eventually you have to get there. It's why we're seeing such hatred. Today, the Communist Party is rounding up Christians. and Muslims and Uyghurs, placing them in concentration camps. Hitler had the same thing. Today, the Chinese leader Z is doing it with Facebook and Google. You have racism, socialists, Margaret Sanger, anti-black, Bernard Shaw.
Starting point is 01:18:07 Everybody loves George Bernard Shaw. He was the first to dream up using a gas chamber to, quote, gently and humanely remove those from society that we're no longer having a productive use. And Richard Spencer, I'm going to leave it at him. Richard Spencer, he's the American Nazi. And that's right wing, correct? Richard Spencer is a Nazi that rejects the U.S. Constitution. He does not believe in the Bill of Rights.
Starting point is 01:18:41 He is pro-Universal Healthcare. He is pro-free, segregated college education. He is in favor of government-funded abortions. He's not right-wing. You take away his virulent racism, and he's a supporter of Bernie Sanders or AOC. It's important that we learn what socialism leads to every time because socialism is merely a stepping stone.
Starting point is 01:19:13 A welfare state is different than socialism. All right, let me tell you a little bit about Delta Defense. That is the United States Concealed Carry Association. They want people to hit the range tomorrow with a brand new gun. They want to have a conversation with you, but they thought, you know, let's start this conversation their right way. Let's see if we can get you a brand new gun. So they're giving away 19 free guns. So what kind of gun is it?
Starting point is 01:19:45 It is one of the most popular double-action pistols in the world today. It's often the gun choice of law enforcement officers, civilians, and our military. Its accuracy makes it an ideal concealed carry gun, and it can be used as a perfect training gun right out of the box. It's also the gun I am the best shot at. What gun is it? All you have to do is text the word B-E-C-K-28-7-2-2-2-2-2-2. You do that right now.
Starting point is 01:20:14 It'll reveal the identity of the gun. It will lock in your 19 free chances to win it this week. It's Beck, B-E-C-K at 87-222-2-2. Also send you some information on why you should join the United States Concealed Carry Association. Just text the word back to 87-22-8-7-22-2. 8-2-2-2. Use the word back and lock in your 19 chances to win a brand-new Gun.
Starting point is 01:20:45 All right, Glenn, we have a quick game of Guess the Candidate. You know, there's 18 candidates on the board. I'm going to give you a quick quote on a couple of policy positions. You have to guess which candidate this was. All right, go ahead. I believe in some form of universal basic income. I'm pro single-payer healthcare. All of them?
Starting point is 01:21:02 Well, most, yeah, I think pretty much all of them would fit. Do you want to take a guess at a specific? Give it to me again, quickly. I believe in some form of universal basic income. I'm pro-single payer health care. Bernie Sanders. No. Richard Spencer, head of the alt-right.
Starting point is 01:21:16 That is a quote from him. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glembeck program. So some big news today, and I mean, it's not surprised to anybody who's been paying attention, but the president has just announced that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard officially a terrorist organization, according to the U.S. What does that mean for us? What does that mean in Israel, especially the week of the election of,
Starting point is 01:21:49 Benjamin Netteniahu. We go to an expert and a good friend of the program who knows all about it. Eric Stacklebeck, when we continue the show in one minute. This is the Glenn Beck program. Man, you know, as I look at where we're headed and I see how this thing happen in Venezuela, we could be headed for real trouble, lightning fast. Massive power outages are now deadly in Venezuela. You see activity in North Korean missile sites.
Starting point is 01:22:25 China is hacking into the Pentagon. All of these stories that we're not really paying so much attention to. We should be paying attention to. What's happening on our border could cause real chaos. We shut down the border. That's real chaos. Could you last for how long could your family hold and be okay if things just shut down for a while? you remember in the Great Depression we shut the banks down i mean it was a it was it was a bank holiday
Starting point is 01:22:57 could you survive with a bank holiday your credit card wasn't of any use when it's breaking news it's too late to prepare please go to my patriot supply for emergency food supply that that's just like a two-week food kit or a 72-hour kit right now a two-week food kit is the way to go you can order it a special price of only $75 when you go to prepare with glenn.com two weeks of food breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Preparewithglen.com breakfast, lunch, and dinner for $75 for two weeks.

That's prepare with glen.com. Eric Stecklebeck is with us now. Eric is the director of Christians United for Israel, the Watchman Project, and the host of the Watchman.
Starting point is 01:24:14 Eric, welcome to the program. Good to talk to you. Glenn, good to be with you. So I want to talk to you about the Washington Summit that is coming up in, July and I'm such a big supporter of all of the work that Christians United for Israel does and you in particular. But first, let me start with any thoughts on what the president just said about the Iranian
Starting point is 01:24:43 Republican Guard being an official terrorist organization. Yeah, Glenn, this is a major announcement, first of all. Second of all, it's long overdue. Look, I think the best parallel with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, IRGC for short, Glenn, I compare them to the Nazi SS. They answered just like the SS, they answered directly to Hitler. The Revolutionary Guards answered directly to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khomeini. And just like the SS, the Revolutionary Guards have their own, I guess you would say,
Starting point is 01:25:16 economic or financial stakes all throughout Iran. They have made themselves into a big business where they control. shares in the Iranian economy, Iran's oil sector, and the Iranian nuclear weapons program. All of this, Glenn, was spearheaded and controlled by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps. Not only that. Oh, go ahead, Glenn. No, go ahead. Go ahead. Not only that. Yeah, in terms of the terrorism designation that we made today, that the State Department made today, look, the main thing, the IRGC, the Revolutionary Guards, they are in control of Iran's
Starting point is 01:25:49 external operations throughout the world. That means, Glenn, they are in control, complete control of Iran's terror apparatus, whether that's in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, or yes, right here in the Western Hemisphere, where we've seen Iran and Hezbollah strike over the past few decades. So the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps are the power brokers in that regime and the terror masters in Iran. Why did the president do this today? You know, I think it's long overdue, number one, if it was the right thing to do, just as a Jerusalem embassy, the Golan declaration. The right thing to do. Look, a lot of people would say the elections tomorrow, obviously, the Israeli election, Benjamin Netanyahu, looking for re-election. He's probably,
Starting point is 01:26:33 I'm sure, in support of the IRGC being designated as a terrorist entity. But no matter the timing, it's a good thing, Glenn, and it's long overdue, because if we're serious about confronting this Iranian regime and their terror tentacles throughout the world, the Revolutionary Guards is the place to start. They are the head of the snake when a comes to Iran's terror apparatus. And by the way, the State Department, Glenn, over the past few decades, has recognized Iran as the world's number one state sponsor of terror. That's both Democrat and Republican administrations, but this is the first administration to actually act on it in this way. We have such a turning of the tide with Israel internally. You have the
Starting point is 01:27:16 president's, you know, moving the embassy, the Golan Heights, which is, if anybody's ever been there, you stand at the Golan Heights and you're like, there's no way that Israel could ever let this go. They're dead if they let that go. It's strategic land. You have to have, it's literal high ground. Then Benjamin Netanyahu said the, quote, occupied territories are not occupied territories.
Starting point is 01:27:39 And he said he's going to give control of those to the Jewish settlements. What does that mean? Well, I think, number one, with the Golan, Glenn, you're absolutely right, strategic, strategic, strategic. Look, that is the high ground. Whoever controls that controls the high ground in past days before 1967 when Israel seized control the Golan in a defensive war, by the way, against Syria and Egypt. Syria controlled the Golan. That meant, Glenn, they could rain missiles down on the Galilee below. It's a non-starter for Israel to give that up. Common sense. Number two, I think with the territories, she's talking about
Starting point is 01:28:17 Judea and Samaria, the West Bank. Judea and Samaria, from an Israeli perspective, number one, is absolutely essential from a security sense. Until there's a Palestinian authority under Mahmoud Abbas that shows that it's serious about peace, that's serious about recognizing Israel's right to exist, it seems like a no-brainer for Israel to hang on to that territory just from a security perspective. In the past, when Israel disengaged from Gaza, pulled out of southern Lebanon, unfortunately, Glenn, they were greeted with rockets and missiles.
Starting point is 01:28:49 There's also the important factor. Look, Judea and Samaria is the biblical heartland of Israel. The Jewish people were living there 3,500 years ago. So that's also a strong factor in that decision by Prime Minister Netanyahu. So, Eric, we have the election tomorrow. Is he going to win Netanyahu? I'll tell you, Glenn. I was talking to some folks' contacts on the ground in Israel just over the weekend.
Starting point is 01:29:15 And it's close, for sure. I'm not a prognosticator with it. I would say that Prime Minister Netanyahu has the inside track. What does it mean if he loses? It's going to be very clear. What does it mean if he loses? It's going to be interesting. I mean, he obviously has had a great relationship with President Trump, number one.
Starting point is 01:29:34 Number two, he's been very friendly to evangelicals. From a security perspective, it's unclear. Benny Gantz, who's the main competitor, Glenn, look, the blue and white party in Israel, which is the main competitor going against Prime Minister Netanyahu, three of their top men are former generals. Benny Gans, Moshe alone, and Gabby Ashkenazi, you would think they would have a pretty strong stance on security. I've interviewed Benny Gans. He's an impressive guy when it comes to security issues. He was the chief of staff for the Israel defense forces, just to give people a little bit more background on him. So he's got definitely security credentials. So unclear how
Starting point is 01:30:11 things change from a security perspective. Will he be less aggressive, more aggressive, taking on Iran, for instance, what about Gaza? Gaza continues to flare up. It seems like every few weeks, Glenn, with Hamas, that's a persistent problem. Then we have southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah, that Iranian proxy, has some 150,000 rockets and missiles aimed at every inch of Israel. So whoever the next prime minister is, has a tall order for sure. But at the same time, Israel's making great strides internationally, Glenn, and new relationships in India, in Africa, in Latin America. So the security challenges remain, but some exciting things happening, positive things as well. The blue and white party, are they more socialists, less social? Are they friendly to the West as Benjamin Nanyahu and the Christians?
Starting point is 01:31:01 What do they stand for, do you know? Yeah, I think middle of the road, Glenn, truly, I would say a moderate party from an Israeli perspective. Definitely not on the socialist left end of the spectrum. that would be the Labor Party in Israel, which is really struggling right now. But I would say middle of the road when it comes to more social, culturally, you would think they'd be more hawkish from a security perspective, since again, they do have three generals among their top three members there. In terms of the West, absolutely, they'll be friendly. I've interviewed Mosheelon and Ben-Ga-Gonz, obviously the top guy. Moshe alone's kind of second or third in that blue and white party, both very friendly to America.
Starting point is 01:31:42 to the West, friendly to Christians, in my experience, for sure. Prime Minister Netanyahu has had a uniquely close relationship with the evangelical community in the United States. But, look, Gonson, and Yolone, in my experience, have been friendly as well. So, you know, I think Netanyahu has the inside track. I might be wrong, but it seems like he's got the inside track right now. But at the end of the day, it is going to be very, very close. This might be Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Starting point is 01:32:09 Look, he's been in power since February 2009. This will probably be his closest election yet, I would say, because Gantz is a formidable opponent with that military background. We're talking to Eric Stacklebeck from Ericstacklebeck.com. He is a good friend of the program. He is a guy who has been watching this for decades now. That's weird to say that, isn't it, Eric? We go away back.
Starting point is 01:32:38 I know. And you're with Christians United for Israel's watchmen. Project. You're the host of the Watchman, which is seen Friday nights at 1030 Eastern on TBN. Tell me about the Kufi summit that's happening in July. Yeah, Glenn, you've spoken at the summit before. This is the big one for, and we love having you. You know, it's the big one from a pro-Israel perspective. Some 5,500, maybe 6,000 pro-Israel Christians and Jews will pack the Washington Convention Center in deep. in the heart of the nation's capital, and advocate for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.
Starting point is 01:33:20 We've had in the past two years, Vice President Pence in 2017. Last year, Ambassador Nikki Haley were the keynotes. This year, Ambassador David Friedman, who's our first ambassador at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. He'll be speaking. Dennis Prager will be there. Of course, Kufi's founder and chairman, the one and only Pastor John Hage will be speaking, and some very special guests for sure. Prime Minister Netanyahu or whoever the prime minister is, will deliver a satellite address to the summit.
Starting point is 01:33:48 We'll have some special guests from the Trump administration as well. We can't announce them yet, but they're coming. So it's going to be big. I think the key thing, Glenn, is not only will we get together and we'll voice our support for Israel and the strong U.S.-Israel relationship, but a key thing about it is we lobby on Capitol Hill. You have thousands of pro-Israel Christians will fan out on the Tuesday of the Sunday of the summit. By the way, the date to July 7th, 8th, coming up in just three months. But look, we will go to every member, all 50 states, and we will lobby them in support of a strong U.S.-Israel relationship
Starting point is 01:34:24 and legislation, Glenn, that benefits the U.S. and Israel from a security perspective. Look, we've lobbied in the past on moving the embassy to Jerusalem. Also, the Taylor Force Act, real quick, it passed into law last year. Basically, that holds the Palestinian Authority, accountable for supportive terrorism. I don't know, listeners might not know, they might know, that when someone is killed when a Jew or an American, Taylor Force was an American, when they're killed by a Palestinian terrorist, that terrorist and his family receive a lifetime stipend from the Palestinian Authority. We call it pay to slay. And by the way, in years past, U.S. taxpayer dollars were going to the Palestinian Authority and going into the pockets of these
Starting point is 01:35:09 folks, that's all finished now, but we lobbied for that. So a lot of exciting things going on during the summit. We encourage everyone to come. Go to C-U-F-I-D-R-G, and you can learn more. I will tell you, the work that Q-FI does is some of the most important work on this issue, and I don't endorse a lot of programs or groups. Kou-Fi, without a doubt, I stand with, and it's an honor to stand with them for Israel. And what you guys do on that week when people come in for this summit, what you do in lobbying makes a world of difference and even more so today with what we have going on with the left. Eric, thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:35:54 We'll talk again. God bless. Thanks, sir. You bet. Eric Stackleback. Our sponsor of this hour is Relief Factor. Heather in Louisiana, she just wrote in. She said, Glenn, I love Relief Factor.
Starting point is 01:36:07 I know the difference when I don't use it. And I've been a loyal customer for the last two years, and I tell everybody I know about it. I shared my packets with a fellow police officer so he could try them. We love working out. We always talk about ways to stay pain free. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

So it's quite amazing. There's a story out from John Solomon, who we'll have to talk to again later this week. The Ukrainian law enforcement officials believe they have evidence now of wrongdoing by
Starting point is 01:37:21 American Democrats and their allies in Kiev ranging from the 2016 election interference to obstructing criminal probes. They have been trying to get the Trump Justice Department to act, but nobody seems to be
Starting point is 01:37:37 interested in this, and I have a feeling that the Trump administration might become interested in this soon. The problem is that people on both sides are dirty. It was, you know, this is what they got Paul Manafort for, and they should. But there are many people involved. A lot of them are Democrats.
Starting point is 01:38:00 And some of them big, including Vice President Joe Biden. And nobody wants to pay attention to this. We're going to lay this case out on Thursday. And this will be a good 20-minute. lay the case out, let you see it. It's not just the Ukraine. I think there's even a stronger case against Joe Biden in China. This is a corrupt guy. And the corruption from the Russians is clear, not just on Biden, but elsewhere. And the Ukrainians are like, why won't anybody take this about the Democrats? I mean, you all ask for it for the Republicans. What about the Democrats?
Starting point is 01:38:43 That's a good question. It's a very, very, very, good question with a very obvious answer. But yeah, at least to us in the United States. That's a good point, by the way, Glenn. Thursday is this show. It's on your 5 p.m. program, Eastern Time. You can join Blaze TV and watch it. BlazTV.com slash Glenn.

Starting point is 01:39:54 And that's kind of what's happening right now at Bidenbracket.com. Which Joe Biden picture is actually the creepiest. There's such a, there's a big academic debate going on now in our nation's universities as to which Joe Biden picture is the most creepy. Which one gives you the skeevy feeling the most? and I will say it's very difficult. That's why we've laid out Bidenbracket.com the way we have. You can look, you can enlarge the photos, you can examine them, see like which, you know, the erector pely muscle is the muscle that controls the goose bump.
Starting point is 01:40:27 If that start, if your erector ply muscles all over your body, really start standing up, that might be an indication of which one of the two photos you should vote for in an NCAA NCAA tournament style bracket that will give us the results on Thursday. You've really kind of distracted me from anything you were talking about. A, that you know the electropel. Erecter P.E.L.E.E.E.L.E.E.E.P.L.E.L.E.L.E.E.?. muscles. And I've never thought of goosebumps as muscles, which made me go, man, the body is amazing.
Starting point is 01:40:55 It is really freaking weird. It's legitimately like the only fact I remember from elementary science class. Erecter Peli muscles, because our teacher used to always say it like very huge. Erecter Peli muscles. And I always remember that dumb fact. Whether it's true or not, honestly, I've never looked it up. I assume it's true. But I remember it from.
Starting point is 01:41:15 You know, it's great. We have a staff now that can look that up. I mean, I got Google too. Erecter Ply. Well, that's our staff. It's Google. I mean, we don't really have research people. We just have Google.
Starting point is 01:41:24 Yes, erector Peli muscles. Small muscles attached to hair follicles and mammals known as goosebumps. That is amazing. The body is an amazing machine. It's really crazy. It really is. And so is Joe Biden. We were talking about Joe Biden.
Starting point is 01:41:36 Biden.com is the place to go. Yeah, do that now. You have to vote for, we have 64 pictures. It's 32. It's 32 pictures. We set it up this way because there's a bunch of ways we could have done it, but this way you don't have to register. You don't have to go through all that hassle.
Starting point is 01:41:48 Like a lot of these Oh no, I don't want to do it. This way, look, I mean, it's science, but I don't know if it's as vital as, you know, curing cancer. So it's not a collection. We're not trying to collect data on anybody. No. All we want is your vote.
Starting point is 01:42:01 And then we'll release the, and believe me, on the Thursday show about Joe Biden, this is going to play about 20 seconds of it. No, but it's important. We're going to announce the winner. It is important. It is important. But while everybody else is focused on something that is just creepy, we're going to show you the criminal side of Joe Biden.
Starting point is 01:42:20 And that is on Thursday. Please join us at blazedtv.com slash Glenn. Use the promo code Beck. Or sorry, use the promo code Glenn and help us out.

Because sometimes you sit in recliners and you don't, you kind of fall asleep. I don't really call this work.
Starting point is 01:43:10 Oh, not this. I'm saying actual malfunctioning members of society. If you're somebody that's actually working, this chair is great. We're not actually working. We just sit in it. And then yap about how great, boy, man, isn't this a great chair? This is a really great chair. And then we've convinced the whole company that this is work.

Starting point is 01:44:04 So be patient. This is an important piece of science. What is the creepiest photo of Joe Biden? This is a Glenn Beck program. I want to share with you one of the more disturbing stories I've read in USA Today in quite some time. Conservatives takeover of the Supreme Court stalled. By John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh Bromance is the headline. The conservative takeover of the Supreme Court that was anticipated following Donald Trump's two selections has been stalled by a budding bromance between the senior and junior justices.
Starting point is 01:44:39 No. Chief Justice John Roberts and the court's newest member, Brett Kavanaugh, have voted in tandem on nearly every case that's come before them since Kavanaugh's joined the court in October. They've been more likely to side with the court's liberal justices than other conservatives. The two justices, both alumni of the same District of Columbia-based Federal Appeals Court, have split publicly only once in 25 official decisions. Their partnership has extended, though less reliably, to orders the courts is issued on abortion funding, immigration, the death penalty in the six months of Kavanaugh's bitter Senate confirmation battle that ended in a 5048 split.
Starting point is 01:45:24 Roberts and Kavanaugh have obvious reasons for their reluctance to join the court's three other conservatives in ideological harmony. They do? Yeah, yeah, listen to this. The Chief Justice's voice concerned about the court being viewed as just another political branch of the government. Oh, so the answer to that is to play politics and try to, you know, show some sort of future, you know, history can look back at us and say, we did the right thing. We went left when we could have gone right.
Starting point is 01:45:54 That sort of posturing, not at all part of the job description of a Supreme Court justice is the right thing to do. I got it. Kavanaugh, a former top White House official under George W. Bush, who was accused of a sexual assault in 1980s during his confirmation, may be just laying low. Justice Kavanaugh seems to share some of the chief justice's institutional concerns. But I also think he cares about his own perception as an, even-handed judge.
Starting point is 01:46:22 No, not another Roberts. No, no, no. Yep. I'm very worried about Kavanaugh. I am too. I mean, Roberts is a lost cause. Yeah, he wasn't on the list. Can we make this point yet again?
Starting point is 01:46:33 The initial list that Donald Trump put out had 21 Supreme Court justice possibilities during the election. When he was elected and a big portion of him getting elected was because of this list. It made a lot of conservatives. We heard people call and drove saying this was the reason I'm voting for Donald Trump. The reason, this was all approved by the federal society. They went through a real process with it. They, he got elected and they picked Neil Gorsuch, one of the best justices on the list, I thought.
Starting point is 01:46:59 I thought it was a great pick. And he's been great. And then after that, with very little fanfare, they added five names to the list. One of those names was Brett Kavanaugh. And I have no evidence to think that she would be bad per se. But another one of those was Amy Coney Barrett. and the idea that we now have to pick off of this list, there's still 20 names on the original list that are not Supreme Court justices.
Starting point is 01:47:26 Why we can't pick one of them when we have new Supreme Court justices, I don't know, but that's another thing that makes me nervous about Barrett, despite she also doesn't have a very long track record. She seems great, but Kavanaugh didn't seem great. I mean, we were not excited about Kavanaugh's a pick. I was very defensive of him as being falsely accused or having his life run over by accusations with no evidence. But he makes me very nervous and the initial indications are not positive on Kavanaugh. So listen to this. Now remember, this is USA Today. This is USA Today.
Starting point is 01:48:01 Similarities between the two men are striking. Despite their decade apart in age, Robert 64 is an earnest and soft-spoken, but pointed in his questions of both sides during oral arguments. Kavanaugh, 54, is more demonstrative, but he tempers that with an inquisitive, open-minded. manner. Whatever their reasons, the Chief Justice and the newest justice together have provided ballast for a court in transition. Following Kavanaugh's replacement of retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, Roberts, has become the court's swing vote, and Kavanaugh often appears to be his wingman.
Starting point is 01:48:39 Example include the court's eye action last October, giving those challenging citizenship question in the 2020 census. Additional information about the plan. its refusal in December to consider Republican-led states' efforts to defund planned parenthood. It's ruling in February that Texas cannot execute a prisoner who claims to have an intellectual disability. In all three of those actions, Associates Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch dissented. Associate Justice Samuel Alito made known his opposition in two of them. Roberts and Kavanaugh appear to have voted with the court's liberals, though the breakdown was not made public.
Starting point is 01:49:15 Their differences have been rare but noteworthy. In addition to one public vote to a criminal procedure case, Robert cited with the liberals in temporarily blocking a Louisiana abortion restriction while Kavanaugh would have let them go into effect. And while they refused to hear New Jersey County's effort to include churches in a historic preservation program in a Washington State high school coach's plea to conduct prayers on a football field, Kavanaugh warned of the need to protect religious liberty. Cabinac, perhaps, is seeking a low profile, has voted with the majority in almost every case so far, unless he is the author, which usually means just signing on to the opposition or the opinion, but often writes separately to explain his vote, a habit he picked up at the U.S. Court of Appeals. Kavanaugh has always had more of a moderate streak, even on the D.C. Circuit, says Josh Blackman, South Texas College Law Associate Professor, who follows the Supreme Court.
Starting point is 01:50:13 Oh, great. He feels the need to explain himself that he's not that right wing. Because this is, you know, as a Supreme Court justice, you'd hope that the unfair treatment Kavanaugh received in his hearing would not change him at all. But as a human being, we all know that going through an experience like that will probably change you one of two ways. Number one, if you want to assign this to Clarence Thomas, the Clarence Thomas way, which is you get falsely accused of something.
Starting point is 01:50:41 You get beat up in the press for a million years. and you become rock-ribed. You are never going, you are going to go and never, ever try to please the media, try to please the historians. You're going to keep your, you're going to go with the Constitution 100% of the time,
Starting point is 01:50:58 even if you're the only vote and it looks super mean. That's the Clarence Thomas way, if you want to summarize it that way. The other way is this sort of John Roberts way, where you are now to show that you swear you're not super mega right wing like he were portrayed, you start, you know, siding with the left a little bit more often,
Starting point is 01:51:17 and you start going that way. Early indications, I will say, they're somewhat mixed. As you pointed out, the case on abortion in Louisiana was a good ruling by Kavanaugh. But I wonder if what we wind up with here is someone who's constantly trying to please future historians, and that is a disastrous formula.
Starting point is 01:51:38 Good news. Next term beginning in October may include major cases on abortion, immigration, gay rights, and gun control. Also, the third debate in the court over Obamacare. And for justices in their 50s and 60s with lifetime appointments, there would be many, many years, perhaps even decades in which to evolve or stand firm. Yeah. And this is another thing where you hear this from the media all the time. Remember the fear when Kavanaugh was going through? It had nothing to do with whether Kavanaugh was touching women in high school.
Starting point is 01:52:11 I mean, it had nothing to do with that. It was about, hey, what is this guy going to do? If it's a right-wing court, they're going to overturn, you know, Roe v. Wade and all of these other things and make it seem as if it's going to be the most conservative Supreme Court ever. And we kept pointing out, have you watched John Roberts for 10 seconds? There is no chance that John Roberts, given the opportunity, would come down on the right side of Roe v. Wade. He sucks. So what you do, if you get Kavanaugh to be on the right side of something like that, is you get to four votes,
Starting point is 01:52:41 not five, four. There is no way Roberts is going to take a stand against a big, you know, sort of cultural issue where he believes he will be on the wrong side of history on it later on. I mean, the chances of that happening are so minuscule and neither one of them have shown any bravery in this sort of area. So the idea that this is really in doubt is such a far-fetched sort of like fever dream of liberals to get people out to vote. It's like, they're just like, well, this is the handmaid's tale. It's like, this is not the handmaid's tale. John Roberts is essentially one of you on controversial issues. He's been wrong on all of these things. He continues to try to please the media and historians.
Starting point is 01:53:26 You know, the new book shows that he changed his vote on Obamacare because he knew how important insurance was to businesses. The hell does that have to do with the Constitution? Your job is to get in there and rule on what is constitutional and what is not. We did not. We did not. We did not hire. We don't pay those people to be politicians. No. To think things through, to noodle things through on what's best for society. Their only job is to find out if it is constitutional or not, period. That's their job. It's it's like, it's like going into McDonald's and, uh, you know, the guy won't give you his, won't give you the burger, uh, but he will give you all kinds of advice on how to fix
Starting point is 01:54:11 car. Look, dude, I'm not going to serve you until you fix your car this way. You know what? And you know what? That outfit just doesn't work on you. Shut up. McGriddle me. Yeah, give me a griddle and a shake. That's all I want from you. That's what we need to start to say to the Supreme Court. Yeah. We want to know, is this constitutional or not? They actually traded rulings on Obamacare. Roberts wanted to side with the left wing but didn't want to give up all this ground. So he actually got two liberal justices to come over and rule against the Medicaid part of it. So that's why it was a seven to two ruling and why two liberals oddly voted for the conservative approach to Medicaid expansion. They actually traded their opinions.
Starting point is 01:54:58 Roberts said, I won't overturn it if you come over to me with Medicaid. I mean, that is not the way this is supposed to work. rule on the Constitution period. Let the chips fall where they may. And for some reason, we have lost, and we have now just gained another legislative branch. Yep. And that is not what we want. They're making laws all the time.
Starting point is 01:55:19 They're trading favors. It's ridiculous. It is an unelected legislative branch now. And you know, the worst thing, and there's a lot of bad things that FDR did. Worst thing FDR did, take the Supreme Court out of the basement. Supreme Court was in the basement. This is how little the Supreme Court meant to the country for decades. When they build the Capitol, they realized, oh, crap, we didn't think about the Supreme Court.
Starting point is 01:55:49 Oh, well, you know that place down by the boiler? Just open that up a little bit and give them a room in the basement. It's like where Milton from office space was hit. Yes. I mean, that's who they were. and they gave them this big huge building and made them so important. And FDR did it for a reason. And when the guys who were used to being in the basement, when I'm not buying into this, what did he do?
Starting point is 01:56:16 He said, I'm going to pack the Supreme Court. I mean, we've lost touch of what the Supreme Court is supposed to be. And it is certainly not supposed to be another legislative body. unelected. Unelected. Where's your cry for democracy on this one? All right. Let me tell you about gold line. I just saw a couple of stories here. It belongs to the people, not to the bankers. Italy moves to seize gold from the central bank. That's good. That's good. David Rosenberg, Fed will embrace helicopter money over the next few years. Yes. Top bond strategists at the world's largest asset manager says the European Central Bank should buy stocks next.
Starting point is 01:57:13 Oh, this is going to be good. Oh, yeah. This is all going to be good. All that work out perfectly. Yes. May I suggest that you put yourself on a gold standard, that you get yourself something of lasting value. Why do you think Italy is going for the, what do you think they're going for the gold? they're going for the gold because they got to have it. They got to have it because if things break down, that's all they've got. It's all they've got. And also as a member of a proud of a member of an Italian family, gold chains. They like a.
Starting point is 01:57:46 Well, yeah. Yeah. Not all. I mean, nobody in my, thank God, nobody in my wife's family is like, hey, I got the gold chain. Anyway, gold line. They have more than gold chains. They have this. which is the 2019 version of the legal tender bar.
Starting point is 01:58:05 It has 10 individual 1 tenth of an ounce, 99.99% pure gold bullion legal tender bars that are secure in this credit card barter case. It slides open for easy use and access. You can keep it in your wallet. You can keep it in your purse. But you have something to barter with should, God forbid, things go crazy. By the way, things are getting crazy. every day. So I'll stop telling you, you know, hey, maybe you should get some gold or some barter stuff to barter with with gold. I'll stop telling you that when the world stops going
Starting point is 01:58:42 insane. So far, all those planes are taken off for Crazyville. So call 866 Gold Line, 1-866 Gold Line. Call them now. They're waiting for you. Ask them about all of the information. Find out if buying gold or silver is right for you. Do your own homework. 866 Gold Line. 1166 Gold Line. or goldline.com. Let me, let me play Beto talking about Trump and how he's, he's just following the steps of the Third Reich. I compared the rhetoric that the president has employed to rhetoric that you might
Starting point is 01:59:17 have heard during the Third Reich. Calling human beings an infestation is something that we might have expected to hear in Nazi Germany. Describing immigrants who have a track record of committing violent crimes at a lower rate the native born Americans as rapists and criminals seeking to ban all Muslims all people of one religion what other country in the face of the planet does that kind of thing or in our human history or in the history of the Western world this amazing uh he's talking about MS 13 yes animals right it's a gang that MS 13 they are a group of animals yes and they kill people in the united
Starting point is 01:59:54 states murders at more than about it's about four times the rate as the school shooting problem in this country. So if you're whining about the school shooting problem, which is a good thing to whine about. You should probably also be whining about MS-13 because a lot of people are dying at the hands of MS-13. I'd have no problem saying Dylan Klebold was an animal. I'd have no problem saying any of the school shooters are animals. Why the idea that MS-13, because I guess they have Hispanic background, all of a sudden they're not animals? They're killing it four times the rate of school shootings in this country. They're a big problem. it's amazing how out of touch
Starting point is 02:00:31 the democratic leadership really is with the American people it's going to be interesting to watch if you miss the show today make sure you go back and listen to the podcast and hear Salina Zito as we talk about the candidates
Starting point is 02:00:48 and and what people on the ground in the heart of the country Democratic voters really believe You're listening to Glenn Beck.
