I had James Alter on talking about that. I mean, who's coming back? People said that they know people that left their apartment six months ago. The apartment is still empty. That never happened in New York.

Is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello, America. You would imagine that the strongest hurricane to hit Louisiana in 160 years might be a lead story, but it's not. In fact, this is probably the only time I'm going to have time to mention it today. Mercury 1 already has volunteers and services on the ground in Louisiana,
Starting point is 00:02:35 ready to offer aid. If you would like to help and be a part of a solution and not a problem, just go to Mercury1.org. Now, let's go to Wisconsin. There was more violence last night, and finally, the governor said, okay, okay, okay, Donald Trump, help. And so they're sending in troops. Ken Cuccinelli, the acting deputy secretary of DHS.
Starting point is 00:03:01 He's going to be on with us in a half hour. And a look at the shooting that happened the night before last in Kenosha. But the truth, not the way the media is spinning it. And because we had reporters on the ground, we know the truth. We share that in 60 seconds. This is the Glenn Beck program. So Sandra was having trouble sleeping. for a very, very long time because all throughout the night, she would wake up in pain.
Starting point is 00:03:32 I mean, if you are like this, you can relate. The problem was inflammation in her joints, that aching feeling. You get through your whole body when you have the flu. That's a miserable feeling. That's the way she felt night after night after night. No hope in sight for any kind of change. As she was beginning to despair, a friend told her about relief factor. She was skeptical, but she was also desperate.
Starting point is 00:03:56 and I think that's where people get. When they order a relief factor, they're like, okay, I got to try something else. She got her life back. She got her life back. Just in a few days, she said she began feeling a difference. She takes it every day now. I take it three times a day.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Monday in the morning, lunch and at dinner, and it has made a huge difference in my life. Relief factor, not a drug, but developed by doctors. 70% of the people who go on to try it, go on to order more. Order the three-week quick start. It's 1995. What do you have to lose besides your pain?
Starting point is 00:04:29 Get your life back. Go to relieffactor.com now. Relieffactor.com or call 800, 500,883.84, relief factor.com. There is a story at the blaze. Unfortunately, it's still an exclusive story. It came out yesterday, and we pieced the shooting in Kenosha together with all of the videotape that we had, Daily Caller, and we piece this together yesterday, and by yesterday afternoon, we knew what the real story was.
Starting point is 00:05:13 The mainstream media is still not picking it up. Go to the blaze.com and read the story. Video evidence appears to show first Kenosha shooting victim charging the shooter. Now, I want to go through this with you, and if we can, we're going to play some of the video. if you happen to be watching us on Blaze TV right now, which by the way, you can watch for free the live stream, which doesn't give you everything from Blaze TV, but it gives you a live daily stream on Pluto TV.
Starting point is 00:05:44 And I think that's a free app. You just download the app. It's free television. All right. So what we have, what the media is saying, is that this guy came down, this 17-year-old kid because he was all hepped up on Donald Trump and guns, and he wanted to shoot some people.
Starting point is 00:06:05 That's the way the media is spinning this. But I want you to know they're going to have a hard time proving that with all of the video that we happen to have now on this. First of all, let me play the McGinnis interviews, the shooter. Now, this is the guy who is called a murderer now, and he's 17 years old. This happened about a half an hour before the shooting. Listen and watch. You doing out here, obviously, you're armed, and you're in front of this business we saw burning last night, so what's up?
Starting point is 00:06:41 So people are getting injured, and our job is protect this business, and part of my job is also helping people. There's somebody hurt. I'm running into arms way. That's why I have my weapon because I protect myself, obviously. But I also have my med kid. Okay. So this seems like a nice kid, and he's not.
Starting point is 00:07:00 calling for a revolution. He's not he's saying, I'm here to protect this business. And he's just standing on the side of the street. And he said, I'm going to protect myself, but I have the med kit. And I'm going to go out and help people. Okay. Now, let's show the video. Do we have the video of the taunt? I don't know if we can play this because it has so much extreme language. But what we have is the video where the guy who gets shot is seen wearing a maroon shirt, capri-length jeans, which were fabulous, white sneaker, white socks, and a tan belt. And he comes up to that kid and he is calling him the N-word. Why he's calling him the N-word?
Starting point is 00:07:51 I don't know. But he's like, come on, man, shoot me in, shoot me, shoot me in. and he's just taunting that kid. Kid doesn't respond. Then we have, that video is from Julio Rosas. The next video we have shows that kid being chased by the guy in the capri pants and the red shirt and the tan belt and the white sneakers being chased while he's throwing things at that kid shouting at him. So he is taunting him again and the kid is running away. Then the third video is the shooting.
Starting point is 00:08:35 We have the actual shooting where he is walking around that building where he was interviewed being peaceful just 30 minutes before. He's walking around that building. He turns around and he sees the guy in the capri pants and the red shirt again chasing him. And he's chasing him and he's right up on top of him. He turns around, freaks out, shoots. He doesn't hit the guy, I don't think, at that point. Then he continues to run. The guy is continuing to chase him.
Starting point is 00:09:06 He turns around, shoots him in the head. Now, that seems like self-defense. Not what you were hearing from Lawrence O'Donnell. Let me play what Lawrence O'Donnell said last night. It does seem, as we sit here tonight, like an inevitable outgrowth of what's been happening with Trump rhetoric, with the concept of open carry and bring my rifle to every public demonstration. And there you see him.
Starting point is 00:09:41 There you see the 17-year-old just firing away. Just firing away. Okay, stop. So Lawrence O'Donnell is absolutely either uninformed or lying. There's only two things. So Lawrence, which is it? You're uninformed and you're intentionally uninformed. You refuse to look for video evidence before you go on national television.
Starting point is 00:10:06 You had the whole day, Larry. There's video, all kinds of video. But the problem is it's not from any of your networks because none of the networks are there. None of the networks are there. Why? Since when don't we have networks? covering things like riots in the United States. We had cameras everywhere in the riots in the Middle East.
Starting point is 00:10:35 We can't get riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Can't get cameras there. You don't want to know the truth. So we have cameras. Cameras don't lie. You can manipulate, but we have it from so many different angles. Now, the one that he was showing, look, there's that guy. He's just shooting people.
Starting point is 00:10:57 No, Larry, if you look at the video evidence, we now have the video evidence that the guy he shot in the arm and practically blew the arm off. Do you know what was in the hand of that arm? A gun. He was coming to execute that kid in the street. He was coming, he had a gun, and he was pointing it right at the kid.
Starting point is 00:11:19 The kid shot his arm. Didn't shoot and killed him. Shot his arm. He dropped. the gun. Interesting. This is, thank God for these reporters, but I beg of you to pray for them. One of them, I think it was from the Daily Caller. Last night was robbed.
Starting point is 00:11:43 They took his bulletproof vest. These guys are in real, real danger, real danger. And they're doing it because somebody has to record it, or it's the Reichstag moment. Look at the lies that are happening on mainstream media. They want to paint this as Donald Trump. It's not Donald Trump. Let me play the mother yesterday. We play the mother of Jacob Blake.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Now, she just lost her son. Listen to her. The destruction that has been taking place in cities across the country and in Kenosha. I heard you speak about that. And my question is, you said that you did. don't want that in Jacob's name and neither would he. Tell me more about that, please. Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:12:40 My family and I are very hurt and quite frankly disgusted. And as his mother, please don't burn up property and cause havoc and tear your own homes down. in my son's name. You shouldn't do it. People shouldn't do it anyway. But to use my child or any other mother or father's child, our tragedy, to react in that manner is just not acceptable. And it's not helping Jacob. It's not helping Jacob or any other women or women who has suffered in his age of.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Do you have anything to say, Ms. Jackson, to the politicians who are out there or anything you want to say? To the presidents or the candidates or to Trump or Biden or anything like that. He's saying this about Trump because Trump made a statement about her. President Trump, first, I want to say a family member, and I don't know if it was heard or not, said something that was not kind of. she is hurting and I do apologize to that our outburst that does not reflect our behavior listen to that and then also they go to take the camera off from Trump so this I'm sorry I missed your call because had I not missed your call maybe the comments that you made would have been different and I'm not mad at you at all.
Starting point is 00:14:40 I have most respect for you as the leader of our country. Right now, producers like, get her off the air, get her off the air, get her off the air. Like I said before, and I'm not saying this to him directly, we should always get the details from the right source before we start throwing bricks. Okay, thank you very much. she's obviously grieving and doesn't know what she's talking about she's uh boy you can't ever really we hate to have people on who are grieving like that we should probably stop or vet them more before we have them on that's amazing the graciousness the graciousness of this woman and the common sense clear thinking i'm going to tell you what i had a conversation with my kids last night
Starting point is 00:15:29 on a way to be killed you want to be you want to you want to you want to be dead i'm going to show you how to be dead by this afternoon. That's the conversation I had because my daughter came to me and said, um, dad, now this is my youngest daughter. She said, dad, this guy was just trying to get into his car to take his kids to school. That's all that was happening. And the police shot him. I said, where did you hear that?
Starting point is 00:15:55 Social media. Okay, though that's not what happened. And so I explained it to them. And I said, I just, I want to stop talking about. this particular shooting. And I want to tell you right now, kids, the way to die by tonight. If you want to die,
Starting point is 00:16:15 I'm going to show you how to do it. I'll share that in 60 seconds. All right. Right now, we are, you know, our kids are in school. Most of them are virtually in school. And we have cyber criminals looking, getting on the internet and our kids are doing it with laptops and tablets and phones if they have
Starting point is 00:16:40 them. The most dangerous thing they face is what they're actually learning from school. Marxism, Black Lives Matter and everything we covered last night on our special. But the second thing, the most dangerous thing for your family while they're now online with school, are the cyber criminals because they can get in on if the school is giving you a new tablet or whatever. Is that protected? Is somebody hacking into that?
Starting point is 00:17:05 and getting on to your servers and your systems? Good news is you can help your family now stay more private and secure with Norton 360. You're getting a real-time protection from existing and emerging cyber threats, but you also get a VPN and a password manager. A VPN will make sure that nobody is getting into your server. This is bank grade encryption. Now, nobody can prevent all cybercrime, but Norton is committed to helping you make back to school easier and safer for your family.
Starting point is 00:17:33 for a special offer, it ends in September on September 6th. Go to Norton.com slash Beck and you'll get 60% off Norton 360. That's 60% off of Norton 360. It's so well worth it. Something you need to protect your family, Norton.com slash Beck. 10 seconds, station ID. Hey, aye, aye, aye, yeah. when my daughter started saying this and like most people, most people, most adults are like 14-year-olds right now.
Starting point is 00:18:28 They just see it on social media and they just buy it. That's not what happened. That's not what happened. However, take yourself out of that situation. Here is what we should all be telling our kids. Black, white, brown, yellow doesn't matter. here's what we should be telling our kids today. If you want to die, here's what I recommend you do.
Starting point is 00:18:54 You wrestle police officer to the ground. You first give him back talk. You treat him in a hostile way. Maybe you even tell him you have a weapon. Then you wrestle him to the ground. Or he wrestles you to the ground because you're not doing what he asks you to do. So they wrestle you to the ground. You escape.
Starting point is 00:19:17 they pull their guns on you. You see that they pull their guns on you. And they're saying, stop or we'll shoot. Stop or we'll shoot. And you run to a car and you disregard them. And you open your door and lunge for what looks like you're going for your glove compartment. Kids, you'll be dead by this afternoon. So if you want to die, go do that.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Because that'll happen to you. I don't care what color you are. That's how to die. Now, there's another way to die. You can say you're on the side of the police or law and order. There's another way to die. Or go to jail. And that is, you can be Mother Teresa and you're going in to give aid and you want to help the situation.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Well, do what Mother Teresa did. Don't pack a gun. If you want to do that, I don't recommend it because you might die just for being an angel of mercy. don't go to a riot. Don't, for any reason, go to a riot. Don't be around a riot. Don't say, hey, it might be fun to watch the riot. If you want to be an angel of mercy, I suggest you talk to your priest, your rabbi, your bishop, your family, and say, hey, I want to do this.
Starting point is 00:20:36 And then you can have that conversation of, well, you know, you may not make it home. You may get caught up into something because it's. a volatile situation. And then somebody of reason would say, but don't bring a gun. Because unless you're somebody who's really good with a gun, you're probably going to have it turned around on you or in this atmosphere, you will definitely, definitely have the situation turned around on you. So if you don't die, you're most likely going to go to jail because I don't believe there
Starting point is 00:21:11 is such a thing as a fair jury anymore. because you're going to be convicted in the press. So you want to go to jail? You want to die? That's how you do it. Now, what parent isn't telling that to their kid? What parent that actually cares about their kid isn't saying those things, isn't pointing to these things and saying,
Starting point is 00:21:35 don't do it. Don't do it. The whole world is on a hair trigger right now. Don't do it. maybe that's just me. Seems like a fun conversation to have. Hey, kids, want to know how to die? That's the Glenn Beck home with my kids conversation right now.
Starting point is 00:21:57 No, I didn't come out of the blue. They were saying, you know, defending the kid who went for medical help. And I hate to condemn him because I think he was trying to do. He seemed like a nice kid from what we've seen. The kid came with medical help and had the rifle and ended up shooting people. you know he probably wouldn't have been targeted if he didn't have a gun you have a right to bear arms you do um but he this was not his community he came from illinois this was not his community so and and what parents said to him to their 17 year old son oh you know what school night you know what here
Starting point is 00:22:39 grab my rifle and uh go to conosha by yourself yeah we have no idea if anyone actually you know apparently i know we have no idea yeah that's the part you know especially like if you're a former special ops and you're there to you know to protect a neighborhood I can completely understand it you're a guy who you're a 17 year old I mean that's the man that's and I appreciate the fact that I think this kid really was trying to be a good kid from what we know right and this is what happens when chaos rules because your elected officials won't do anything you know here's here's a way not to die stop electing these morons gold line A lot rides on this presidential election.
Starting point is 00:23:27 A lot rides on it. The Democrats' approach to handling the economy is bad enough. But with the things that have happened so far this year and how far they will go, you think our spending is bad now? Oh my gosh. They're talking about spending trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars. The dollar will be worthless in 18 months. worthless. I don't know what's going to happen, but I can tell you the keyword is chaos.
Starting point is 00:24:00 And the global elite, I believe, are hell-bent on destroying capitalism, resetting it, and resetting the global currency not to be the U.S. dollar. Please, please call Goldline today and do your own homework. Goldline's offering a new free silver coin with the purchase of every gold. Liberty coin, the ones that I buy.

Starting point is 00:25:04 I mean, I can't believe we're here. Even without the conventions, I told you for, what, two years? Wisconsin, I would sell my house right now in Wisconsin. Democratic convention's going to be held there. This is going to be a summer of blood. And I wouldn't want to own property there because it's going to be riots. Without the convention, it's happening.
Starting point is 00:25:26 And I think worse than I would have expected. this this quickly at least and the federal government has finally been allowed in the governor yesterday said to Donald Trump okay okay help so he sent them in now we have Ken Cuccinelli on the phone he's the the I want to get this right here hang on I don't have you even have my glasses on he is the acting deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Ken, welcome to the program. Always good to be with you, Glenn. So, Ken, you guys are in a really tough position.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Tell me what you're planning on doing and when does help arrive in Wisconsin. So that's fair to say, but I would note that unlike, say, the Portland story that we've all been following for three months, and of course I've been in the middle of it. Here we have a governor who at least is willing to use his National Guard for one of the things they exist for. And that is keeping the peace. He didn't bring enough numbers initially, but he kept moving the numbers up to get to a point where they're adequate.
Starting point is 00:26:47 And he and the president spoke, of course, and president has spoken vehemently about his desire for peace in all these communities and the willingness to move. people in and this is the peace through strength plan and in the civilian environment plan it's you know you bring enough law enforcement responsibly executed and there is no violence we saw that happen in Minneapolis after the tragic killing of George Floyd is the first reaction of Minneapolis was give them room to riot the
Starting point is 00:27:19 old Baltimore concept though that didn't work and so then they brought in the guard and lo and behold things were calmed down because those who contemplated violence knew there were consequences and we're seeing that shift to take place in Wisconsin do we wish it happened faster yes but you'll see the Department of Justice is moving over 200 marshals FBI agents ATF agents into Kenosha they've also got extra prosecution help up there all in addition to the to the guard commitments from the president and the willing of Governor Evers to use them.
Starting point is 00:28:00 So here's the problem that we have. The left has run unchecked. And the American people, I mean, 5 million new gun owners in the United States just in the first quarter of this year or second quarter of this year. And that's all because people feel like there's nobody to protect me. This is why the Second Amendment says a well-regulated militia. And a militia is happening as your last resort. there's nobody coming to help you. And that's, I think, where people are starting to feel.
Starting point is 00:28:33 And that becomes very dangerous. So how do you guys at the federal level, because I'm a federalist, I believe in the state power. Yeah, you too. So how do you balance this so it doesn't spiral out of control because the left wants a fight? They want it. They do in many respects. I mean, you can see lots of these politicians on the left who encourage the violent protesters but without condemning the violence.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Correct. And even using the phrase violent protesters is not accurate. Those are rioters and criminals and some cases terrorists. So, you know, we do need to fix that even myself. But that kind of encouragement reaches a situation like we saw in Portland last weekend where you then get, get in Kenosha, frankly, you get people who don't believe that law enforcement is going to be provided or allowed to do its job adequately, and they start showing up to do it. And very, sort of frontier mentality, if you will, in some cases, but also it's other groups who are
Starting point is 00:29:47 looking to fight. And if you don't calm that violence soon and relatively quickly, you invite that kind of violence, which is true. You do. really spirals out of control. That's war in the streets between different Americans, and they may all be misbehaving, put it mildly, but they've been given free reign to do so by the left-wing leadership in those communities. And then you ask the Federalist question, which is one I'm very sensitive to. I'm sure that's no surprise to you, that we have limited federal jurisdiction. The federal government isn't just another police. state or office.
Starting point is 00:30:30 And we can't be. No, we don't want that. That is a, you know, you do get what you vote for. Yes. And in Portland, they're getting destruction. And they're not going to, I mean, would you open a business in Portland in the next 50 years?
Starting point is 00:30:42 No, I would. No. No, it's going to destroy these cities. It is going to destroy these cities. That's right. And the people least able to adjust to that are the poorest people in those cities. So, Ken, help me out on this. You used to be the,
Starting point is 00:30:57 the attorney general for the state of Virginia. This kid that shot the guy in the head the other day and then shot the other guy in the arm, he is being painted as, you know, just this militia, white supremacist kind of guy. I would not want my kid down there. I would tell them not to go. I would say even if you want to be an angel of mercy, then you have to be like Mother Teresa. Don't bring a gun. It's a dangerous, dangerous situation.
Starting point is 00:31:24 However, we have him on tape a half hour before talking about his view. He seems like he's just there. He's like, look, I'm only bringing my gun because I'm not stupid. I know it's dangerous and I'm going to defend myself, but I'm here to do medical aid. Then you have the guy who was killed. We have him on three different occasions, taunting and chasing and tackling this kid. The third time is when he turns because he's right on top of him and shoots. and he continues to chase him, and then he shoots him in the head.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Then the other guy that he shoots while he's laying down, we have video of that guy approaching him with a gun, pointing it to him like execution style, and that's when he shoots that guy's arm off. They're charging him with first-degree murder. How? Well, that's a pretty knee-jerk reaction. and, you know, they're charging him because he shot people,
Starting point is 00:32:28 but you're going to see undoubtedly the self-defense argument made. I tweeted on this yesterday, noting with a lot of the interviews that this kid happened to give beforehand, he was not speaking against any of the people protesting or any of the abuse. No. So, you know, you've got to, and my point that I was tweeting about is, this is complex investigation. And to your point, the instant labeling is likely inaccurate, though I don't have enough information to draw a conclusion.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Neither do I. I don't want to do that either, but my point is neither does anybody else. Correct. But there's a desire to paint a narrative out there that there's a lot of evidence just with this particular kid that doesn't seem to fit. So I would note that to our earlier discussion, when you let violence run amok like this, you get people who just feel like they're doing their duty backing up police. Correct. Obviously, without the training, without the coordination of mutual support of other security forces,
Starting point is 00:33:40 going out there and trying to do what this kid was doing. and you end up with this kind of scattered violence. And I don't think anybody wants that anywhere in any of their cities. And yet, I mean, Kenosha, it's not like, you know, Detroit. I know, but I tell you, Ken, any city in America. They, they, we had several reports last night of neighborhoods, people walking down the street, three o'clock in the morning, wake up, wake up, you know, give us your houses.
Starting point is 00:34:11 That, what that's, emails from Richmond. You know, there's not. Nothing has happened in Richmond per se. I got an email yet this morning about incidents like this from last night. And when that- Multiple gunshots as well. When that happens, you will have, you know, citizens watch parties and they'll have guns. And because if they feel the police are not going to help them, they will ban together.
Starting point is 00:34:37 And that's a bad situation. But I completely understand it. If I think police are not coming to my neighborhood, you damn right. I've got a gun and I'll shoot you on my property. Well, and honestly, self-defense is the single most important thing. The Second Amendment is for, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:34:55 So there were no police in 1791 when that was ratified. And, you know, there weren't for many, many years in the United States. So people are used to the cultural requirement of at least being protected. being their first line of defense. Correct. We are our own first line of defense. Correct. And when you are in cities where you've got politicians who refuse, as we see in Portland,
Starting point is 00:35:26 to do police work, then you can fully expect to see more of this kind of response. People are going to take things on themselves, and they don't have, you know, crowd control munitions. When they're threatened, they only have one next step to go to, and that's shooting for self-defense. If we want to avoid this, we need better leadership in many of these cities. Ken, I know you are, you're a little busy today. So I know your time pressure.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Let me just ask you one more question. I started the show saying, normally the biggest storm to hit Louisiana in 160 years, the most powerful storm to hit that area in 160 years, would be the lead story in all anybody is talking about. But we have so many other things. I don't want to lose sight of that. What are you guys doing down there? So Laura made landfall at 2 a.m. this morning, Eastern time. It came with a big storm surge, very big. And, you know, we measure these hurricanes on wind, but the water does so much damage. And that's where our fear resides more than anything. We pre-positioned 500,000 meals, 200,000 liters of water, and numerous teams to be prepared to respond as soon.
Starting point is 00:36:44 soon as the danger struck. And all our teams are in action right now. Laura has not moved out of Louisiana. It's moving northeast, probably crossing the state for the duration of the day, headed into Arkansas. And the secretaries talked to both governors yesterday, and as much teamwork and preparation as we can do is in place. And we and the federal government are supportive. That's our role is to support the state and local responses. And while Louisiana's experienced at this, it's not the kind of experience any state wants. So we're prepared to do an awful lot of work to help keep folks safe there and to help those communities recover. And that's something the president already declared emergencies. He's got us leaning forward as far as we can.
Starting point is 00:37:37 81 miles north of Lake Charles, the real scary thing in New Orleans really is New Orleans, because it's just a bowl. And if it fills up, how is New Orleans doing? Have you heard? Well, as of yesterday, I actually talked to folks in New Orleans, and when you compare weather across the whole front, they were doing pretty well. Good. Good. As you know, we talked about water. the flooding can hit New Orleans later. It doesn't have to be immediate. So that's something that the Army Corps and the rest of us will keep our eye on as well. Ken, thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Ken Cuccinelli from the Department of Homeland Security. Thank you. I feel so much better having somebody like that in the Department of Homeland Security, where he is such a strong federalist, does not want federal control of police. all right i want to tell you about jason he's from texas he wrote it and he said i have a nine-year-old great dane with a thyroid problem oh my god he said she would recently sleep 23 hours out of the day that was before he tried rough greens he said i can't believe the difference she does a happy dance all the way to her bowls same with my dog she is so much more active even jumped on my
Starting point is 00:38:57 shoulders twice last week only she hadn't been able to do that in five years that was my dog i think I'd probably cut down on the rough greens there myself. He said, it's been an amazing transformation. He says, it's not a dog food. It's right. It's a supplement. And she loves it. So all you do is you put it on your dog's food that you're feeding them.
Starting point is 00:39:17 And it has all of the stuff that they love and all of the stuff that they need. You will see a difference in your dog. My dog is amazing now. Amazing. Give your dog a rough greens 14 day jump start bag today, 14-9,000. 1495, see the difference in your dog in 14 days or less. I will tell you, I've been feeding one of this for about six months, and I keep seeing changes. I mean, we were talking about last night.

Starting point is 00:40:20 It really is. Could anything be better? I heard somebody describe 2020 as having an argument with somebody who keeps trying to leave the room and then comes back and goes, and another thing. The thing I keep getting scared about is every year since at least two years. since at least 2015. People were like, oh, I can't wait for 2016. And then it was, oh, I can't wait for 2017. This year's been a disaster.
Starting point is 00:40:42 And every year, everyone says it at the end of the year. And every year is worse. I'm not hoping for 2021. 2021 is going to be worse. Enjoy the glory days of your pandemic. Right. You imagine what 2025 is going to be like? Oh, gosh.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Oh, my gosh. You'd be like, look, there's an acre over there that's not on fire. Hey, little Bobby doesn't have the chip in his head yet. It's a scary. I mean, it's a scary time. It really is. But you know what, I was, you know, because as you know, as a conservative, it was totally for white police officers just going after black people for no reason whatsoever until they canceled those NBA games last night.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Now I'm against racism. So that really worked. You know what? Thanks a lot, guys. I was shocked by with the NBA news. And, you know, I don't follow sports. But I was shocked. I think everybody was.

Floods, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, uh, let's see, riots, wars, rumors of wars. I mean, hello. Welcome to America, 2021. the what would be a lead story in any other parallel world, the, the landfall of Hurricane Laura,
Starting point is 00:45:05 Laura slammed into Louisiana. The highest wins the most destructive force of a hurricane in Louisiana in 160 years. We, our thoughts and prayers are with those people in Louisiana in the path of these storms, but I want you to know, Mercury 1 is also already. on the ground. If you want to help them, please just go to mercury1.org and donate. You can help help your neighbors in Louisiana. We've got to keep track of the people that we are and continue to help. Kenosha, Wisconsin, finally, National Guard and FBI and ATF, all of them are coming in at request of the governor. But there's a lot to talk about, and we have a firsthand witness to talk about that in the bottom of the hour. But also something else. It's
Starting point is 00:45:55 got to be on your radar. And I know nobody's talking about it, but it's got to be on your radar. Our kids right now are being trained to be change makers. They are trained to be Black Lives Matter activists in schools.
Starting point is 00:46:11 We last night exposed a document dump from what's being taught in schools all across the country this fall. You need to see it and you need to get out in front of it. But it's worse than what we told you last night. We're going to continue in 60 seconds. This is the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:46:33 But other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? Let me tell you about relief factor. The best testimony I think I can give you a relief factor is I was feeling fine, been feeling great. My niece came to the house. She has bad back pain. And she said, Uncle Glenn is, there's relief factor really wearing. And I said, yes and she said well I know you say that on the air she said and I know that you wouldn't endorse it but really and I said yes and so I gave her my bag of relief factor which meant that I stopped taking it until I could get another bag but people are stupid we always do the same thing once we feel better we're like oh I don't need this medication anymore and I actually my wife looked to me like
Starting point is 00:47:19 dummy don't give that all away and but I gave it all away and and and and My thought was, I've been feeling great lately. Within a couple of days, my pain came back so badly. I mean, I was wrapped from head to toe, my hands. It was almost like I was crippled with my hands. It was horrible. I learned my lesson. Don't give my full bag of relief factor away.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Save some until the next bag comes. Save some. Relief factor. Please give it a try. You have nothing to lose but the pain. Get your life back. Relieffactor. 800, 500,883.84, 800, 584, 800, 584.
Starting point is 00:47:58 It's Relieffactor.com. So last night on our Wednesday night special, you can just find that on demand at Glenn TV. You just go to BlazTV.com slash Glenn and then look for Glenn TV. And it will be our Wednesday night special there. And last night's special was about brainwashed. Your kids are being brainwashed. Black Lives Matter have hijacked our schools. And we showed you just some of the things.
Starting point is 00:48:34 All of the documents that we presented last night and a lot more are available at glenbeck.com. We ask for volunteers that will go through these dossiers, if you will. It's not 800 pages. It's 800 files. And we need people that are just, you know, bookworms that just go through this stuff and show us what we're missing and and help us out on research because we're a little overwhelmed with all of this stuff. We have a very good friend of the program, Yako Buwins. He is the president and founder of Share Together. And he is, he's a guy from South Africa who just has a passion for children,
Starting point is 00:49:21 has a passion for slavery, ending slavery, kind of a good one to have. Yaco is, with us now. I was talking to him the other day and told him what we had uncovered in our schools and he told me something that I hadn't even heard about that is being introduced into all of our schools and I don't think you're going to be comfortable
Starting point is 00:49:40 with it. Yaka, welcome to the program. Glenn, thank you. It's an honor to be with you and I will tell you that special last night was so timely, so on point. I want to thank you and the whole staff at the blaze and your team.
Starting point is 00:49:56 It was excellent. You know, Yako, I think, and also the things that we're going to present with you in a follow-up special, I think the average person will think, oh, that's not happening at my school, or why are I not hearing about this everywhere? And the knee-jerk reaction, I think, for most is just blow it off. I've got other things to worry about. Absolutely. Look, the general American public's radar, what we call situational awareness, is zero. We don't know what's going on in our country because we are very comfortable.
Starting point is 00:50:36 It's a good thing because we are free. We are a free people about on the brink to lose freedom. And I've lived under regimes where freedom wasn't there. But we're going to talk to you, Glenn, in addition to what you did last night, about something that's in the school system that's going to make the parents' spine tingle. going to shake him to the core. You unveiled last night shook me to the core, and I'm in this fight for children every day of my life.
Starting point is 00:51:03 And this is a multi-pronged attack, and you highlighted, just skimmed the surface on what you've uncovered, on one of these angles, and this is how you dismantle a society. You've got to hit it from multiple angles. And our children, hear me today. The target is the children, because the children is the future. If you can corrupt the children, you can corrupt America. That was Hitler.
Starting point is 00:51:27 And you are, and, and, and, Yako, I've said this several times, but I stand by it. This isn't the Hitler youth, but this is the seeds of the Hitler youth. These are, this is how they did it. And you've got to turn the children against the parents. And you have to teach them that your parents don't know they're old. They're living in an old world. They don't really understand. So you need to tell us if your parents are.
Starting point is 00:51:56 are, you know, haters or disagree with these things. And that is in some of this document. And you are, you have been working on something that was brought in by Gavin Newsom into California. And I just want to, just want to hit on this because there are votes that are coming quickly. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Tell me what, tell me what this is. In your case, you're talking about an indoctrination of the children through political and societal rhetoric. In our case, we're talking about them using the same groups using sex in the classroom. Using sex as a weapon, Glenn, as a weapon against our youth. And Gavin Newsom volunteered and said, we will be first.
Starting point is 00:52:41 California will be first. This program was tested in Africa. Then Europe, they tested it. It was birthed in the World Health Organization. And Gavin Newsom said, I'll be first. And Governor Inslee said, I'll be second. now it's going to be tested here in Texas not tested implemented in Texas a vote comes down on September 4th and it's most likely going to be in your schools and when you see it every
Starting point is 00:53:10 every adult I have shared this with have all said I'm sick to my stomach it it talks about mutual masturbation for third graders so if Johnny and Luke want to go out and pleasure each other, it's encouraged. This kind of stuff goes right in line with Black Lives Matter and what they are pushing as well. Remember, they're pushing an end to sexual norms. They're pushing an end to the nuclear family and all of the things that the Western world has said, this is good, this is bad. They want to flip all of those things.
Starting point is 00:53:51 So this is not separate from Black Lives Matter. These are the same people, same groups, same kinds of people. 100%. It's like a boxer. You need a jab and an uppercut, right? And so they'll deliver the jab with political rhetoric, and then they'll bring the most violent weapon of all sex, immorality, destroying young lives.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Because if you can destroy that life morally, that child, when he's in his 20 stories, will fasten the ankle bracelets to government himself. he'll be a subordinate and he'll be trained in the classroom as you showed us last night what rhetoric to follow what lies to spew and they'll literally become subordinates but they have to break the children they'll indoctrinate them you said last night open mind in comes their rhetoric and if you can break them morally by having them agree things such as what we're going to unveil through your show giving children sexual agency at age three the parents do not have agency sexes
Starting point is 00:54:52 agency and Texas has to wake up. This is in over 27 states in the United States. It's being mandated like a brush fire through our country. It is literally to break the children morally and then indoctrinate them with this far left rhetoric. YACO, thank you so much for what you do. Thank you for the help you're working with us on a couple of specials. And I thank God for people like you. Thank you so much. President and founder of Share Together, Yako Booions, the host of the Yaku Booion's show, you can find that. Also, you can follow him at, well, you won't know how to spell it anyway, but just go to share together now.org. Booions Jacko at Booyans, Jaco, on Twitter as well.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Okay. I got a letter in really disturbing, and I want an expert to answer it. we'll do that in 60 seconds standby. All right, my Patriot supply. I mean, do I need to give you a list of why you should stock up on food? Let me tell you that yesterday I met with my security staff and I said, I am putting you on DefCon 1 notice. Start the engines.
Starting point is 00:56:16 And I want to make sure that we are completely up to date and up to speed on anything. because I believe that a civil war could break out at any time. I don't think it's impossible to think that we will be in civil war by Christmas. I hope to God that's not it. I pray that it doesn't happen, but we need miracles more than ever. And we also need to be prepared. So please, please prepare. My Patriot Supply, last time they were on, it was when COVID hit.
Starting point is 00:56:51 I did, I think, like five commercials, and they were so backed up. They had to stop doing commercials so they could catch up. This is the first week they're back. This is commercial number three that I've read. And they have expanded and gotten ready for a big rush. But I'm telling you, don't delay. Please don't delay. Get at least a four-week supply of emergency food from My Patriot Supply.
Starting point is 00:57:15 The original Patriot Preparedness Company, mypatriotsupply.com, do it right now. MyPatriotsupply.com. 10 seconds, station ID. So yesterday I had Rebecca Friedrichs on. She wrote a book called Standing Up to Goliath, and she's the founder and president of For Kids and Country. And she just gave the speech of the RNC on the teachers union. She knows exactly what's going on.
Starting point is 00:57:55 And she's very brave, used to be a teacher, now standing up against the teacher's union. And that is the problem, the teacher's union. and Rebecca, welcome to the program. First of all, did we miss anything last night in our special that you thought really needed to hit? Oh, your special was so great. I mean, there's just millions of things we could have added to it.
Starting point is 00:58:17 You know, some things I would love to address later and just help you and your listeners to understand on a deeper level, but you are on the right track. Okay. And I would love to help. Okay. So it's amazing how many. Many people reached out to the show with additional information last night. And I do want to have you in.
Starting point is 00:58:39 And I do want to have a long conversation with you, probably on radio for sure, because it's the broadest audience. And we'll do some specials on this as well. Let me give you an email that I got last night. And this is just one of many like this. Dear Mr. Beck, I live in a small Missouri town in the center of rural America. After hearing your show this morning, I called my son's school politely, and I asked them to find out what my child would be learning this year in reference to Black Lives Matter, social justice, and the history of oppression. The secretary of the answer the phone continued to say, I don't understand what you're asking, but we have to have the name of the student. I politely declined to name my child because I assumed it would be public information and I didn't want to take the chance my son being singled out due to my questions.
Starting point is 00:59:30 secretary reluctantly took my number and first name she said she would pass it on to the superintendent and she hung up on me in mid-sentence so the superintendent called me back a few hours later and i explained to him that i simply want to know how i can find out what my child will be learning this week this year the tone from him immediately was condescending and after asking for some clarification on some of his answers i was accused of wanting to argue regardless of what he said i assured him that was not my attention or what was happening the end result was him finally telling you me that I should email each teacher and ask them what lessons would be, as he didn't know what every individual teacher taught. So I asked for clarification once again, how can you tell me that there's nothing like that in this area and then say, you don't know what teachers are teaching? I was then called crazy, paranoid, and once again, asked for my son's information. I politely refused. Again, I explained that I didn't want my son being targeted, regardless of how small the chance was. I was called such an imaginative thinker and hung up on this is this is the usual response that people are made to feel stupid and like conspiracy theories the theorists okay Glenn your listeners experience is exactly the same
Starting point is 01:00:48 experience of every parent and every teacher I know who has tried to push back against all of this agenda and so last night you said something you'll lose your children. That's not hyperbole. You are exactly accurate about that, and that is what's happening to this parent, this mother who sent this letter to you. It's a father. Yeah, go ahead. Oh, the father. Well, good for him. We need our men stepping up. Thank you, father. Get out there, dads. So what this father experienced, these school districts are so fully controlled by the teachers' unions, who are Marxists. So people need to understand. When you go in to talk to the secretary, why isn't she just handing you the curricula? That's what should happen.
Starting point is 01:01:31 You have every right to see the curricula. The reason you don't is because the teachers unions are in full control of the schools. And even if you're in a safe state like Tennessee, do not blink your eyes. They're there. They're in every single state. And the state teachers unions are just as brutal as the national teachers unions in every single state. So their goal is to fully undermine parental authority. That's what Marxists do. They want your kids. So in fact, just just so your listeners know,
Starting point is 01:02:03 in most states, right now, a parent cannot even view their children's own their own child's medical records when the child's 14 years old and they're trying to push for younger years. Parents have no idea. We've already lost so
Starting point is 01:02:19 many of our rights as parents. That's what this parent is experiencing. What do they mean they can't tell us? what each teacher is teaching. That is ridiculous. They should know what every teacher is teaching, and if they're teaching something inappropriate, they should be fired.
Starting point is 01:02:34 But the problem is they want teachers to teach something inappropriate, and they want to undermine parents. So what does this person do? They've been humiliated. They've gone to the superintendent of schools. I'm sure they're going to go to the teachers, but his concern is, my child's going to be targeted now?
Starting point is 01:02:57 Yeah, yeah, exactly. And his child will be targeted if they figured out who he is. That's what they do. They isolate people, even children. So last night, you and Secretary DeVos were talking about how parents should approach their local school boards and they should approach their state legislators for help. Well, that would be a good idea if the school board and the legislatures weren't corrupt. So in some instances, you can talk to your school board, but it's rare.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Obviously, this guy can't. They're corrupt. So in California, we have done this. We have gone to the state legislature and been bullied, and we've been bullied by local school boards, county school boards, by all sorts of, quote-unquote, public servants. So my goal is to make government unions outlawed. That is my number one goal in life to make sure that they cannot be in existence anymore
Starting point is 01:03:46 in our government schools. We shouldn't even have government-run schools. They should be local. So I would encourage this dad to, you know, he can reach out to us. and get on board with helping to expose what's going on in these schools. Okay. So, you know,
Starting point is 01:03:59 like things sharing it with you. All right. So here's what I would love to have you on. Maybe we'll do this next week. I would love to have you on and, and gather the information of, I mean, people need to start,
Starting point is 01:04:13 if they've got a union, we need a union. We need a union of parents all across this country that are standing together in one block. So if you can tell us how to do, that and how to approach our schools, what to do, how to organize in our in our own schools. I mean, we're so far behind the eight ball because we're not organizers. We're just doers.
Starting point is 01:04:37 Exactly. Well, you know what, Glenn? We started an organization called Four Kids and Country. The whole idea behind our organization is to help get parents and teachers, good ones, standing together to reclaim our schools, to restore things. This is our whole mission. And we're just thrilled to have you on board now because we're small and we're new and we don't have a loud voice. So with someone like you helping, there's no stop in us.
Starting point is 01:05:04 Well, I urge you to go for kids and country. And as Rebecca just said, this is not hyperbole. You know you're on the verge of losing your country. You feel it. Whether you want to recognize it or not, you feel something is very wrong and something dangerous is coming. I'm telling you right now, you are also on the verge of losing your children. And you must stand against these teachers' unions. Go to For Kids and Country.org.

Starting point is 01:08:50 In fact, he's the guy who first rushed to the guy that was shot in the head and helped him into the ambulance, help carry his body to help. And Richie is with us now. Richie, how are you? I'm good Glenn. Thanks for having me on. First of all, I mean this sincerely. It's not just a quick, how are you? You guys have got to be, you're running on very little sleep and there's got to be some PTSD going on. Are you sleeping? Are you doing all right?
Starting point is 01:09:24 Last night I slept quite a while, actually. I think it actually took me a bit of time to sink in. Yeah. But as far as that, I mean, that's the, kind of stuff that our first responders and law enforcement do. I know. Do you have a bulletproof vest? Not yet, but I should get it.
Starting point is 01:09:43 You have one coming? Because I... Ground in front of me. I think I should get one. Yeah, okay. So I would like to supply you with one. And I will get you a vest and we'll see what we can do to protect you. I know you don't work with me and we don't really, you know, know, each other. but I really respect what you're doing,
Starting point is 01:10:05 and I really thank you for being there to document it because we're in real trouble if somebody doesn't do what you're doing. Tell me exactly what happened that night. What did you see? So actually right before the shooting took place, I witnessed the riot control, clear out, protesters from an area that had been burned out two consecutive nights. And actually the night prior to the shooting, I saw the business that Kyle was standing in front of
Starting point is 01:10:42 burning with the business owners and some employees of that business, using a power washer to try to put out the fire because the fire trucks weren't coming. And so the next night, I saw Kyle, along with a number of armed men, some of them were also on the roof of the business, standing with what looked to be AR-15, at least over the Kyle's shoulder and I immediately asked if any of them would be interested in doing an interview as to why they were there and Kyle volunteered he actually didn't volunteer his name but he said that he was willing to appear on camera and get an interview so I interviewed him for about two and a half minutes and actually after
Starting point is 01:11:19 the interview concluded they said we're gonna go try to find if anybody needs medical aid after this after the riot control this came through tear gas people so they actually went out into the crowd to let the dealer to Kyle was trying to shouting out. Does anybody need medical aid? Does anybody need medical aid? And that was just a few minutes before everything took place. So that was where everything started.
Starting point is 01:11:44 Obviously, things descended into chaos very quickly after that. Is there any indication from you, Richie, that he was, you know, a white supremacist, that he had the intention of going out and shooting people or, I mean, they're charging him with first-degree murder. any any indication that that's who this guy was so obviously i'm not going to speculate on the legal side of things you know whether it was murder whether it was self-defense that's that's what i can say is that during the brief time that i met him he came across as a very young and innocent kid who did not know the career of the situation that he was in
Starting point is 01:12:28 and you know again i only spoke to him for about two minutes and that was the first time i had ever seen him before. But that was my first perception. He told me that he was there both to protect the business and to make sure that anybody who needed medical aid would get it. And he also did note the absence of police and necessity for somebody to provide a degree of law and order. So that was, you know, again, it was only about a two and a half minute interaction. So I, yeah. Right. Okay. So you were there when he was, he didn't trip in fall. he was kicked to the ground. And a guy came at him with a skateboard,
Starting point is 01:13:07 was going to beat him with that. Another guy came at him with a gun. I mean, this looks like total self-defense to me. Did you see, did you witness that part of the shooting, too? Or were you with? So actually, I was in the hospital by then. Okay. Well, actually, I was heading to the hospital by then.
Starting point is 01:13:27 The shooting that I witnessed was the first shooting, which is the one. some playing right now. And that was when things really started. I believe that the second shooting, that took place very, very soon after, but after the shots were fired, people were just looking
Starting point is 01:13:43 for individuals with guns to you know, to detain or whatever. So even the New York Times said in their TikTok that they released today that the guy who was shot
Starting point is 01:13:59 was pursuing we have him on tape as being a real antagonist to these guys, calling them all kinds of names that we can't say on the air, the N-word, et cetera, et cetera. He was picking a fight. He had tried to jump, written house several times, at least two that we know of. And when you look at what the New York Times is reporting,
Starting point is 01:14:22 they're saying that, and you can see it on the videotape, your videotape, there is a shot. he's running he sees the guy behind him he hears a shot he thinks he's being fired at he turns around tries to shoot at the guy the guy continues to chase
Starting point is 01:14:42 him I think it's six shots ring out from elsewhere that you can you can hear right yeah actually that was my two of my colleagues who filmed the video I was actually six or seven feet behind them and once I realized that this situation
Starting point is 01:14:59 was turning into a little bit of a situation where someone was going to get shot. I actually focused more on what was in front of me than my phone and my hand. And actually, I was about seven feet behind them when the shot reached for Kyle's weapon. I saw that happen. And he basically avoided the reach and then fired. What I saw were three shots from Kyle's gun. But I also heard some other dots coming from elsewhere.
Starting point is 01:15:32 So you were behind. Did you fear for your life? Is it reasonable to believe that Kyle was freaking out thinking they were shooting at him? Yeah, so actually I was running behind them because me being the middle of three brothers, my first instinct was to yell at them to chill out because I knew, and I've been in Seattle, I've been in Portland, I've been in New York, I've been to D.C. these protest zones, things spiral out of control very quickly. So knowing that Kyle was a young man that I just interviewed with a very powerful weapon in his hands,
Starting point is 01:16:06 I was trying to emphasize the fact that everybody just needed to stop because this was going to get that quickly. And basically the moment that I was doing that, I was running behind them. Kyle turned around. And I'm not sure if you turned around because a shot rang out or if he turned around because the man was pursuing him and he felt cornered. But what I do know is that the moment that he'd turn around, I entered the line of fire because I was behind that man just about 7 feet. You can see in the video I'm actually standing right there. I take about two steps back. I'm not sure if it was Kyle's weapon or if it was the other shots that were fired, but I felt some concrete hit my legs.
Starting point is 01:16:42 And I assumed that that was some kind of ricochet or something. But once I realized that I actually hadn't been hit, I ran over to provide medical aid to the man who's lying lifeless on the ground. and I actually didn't realize at the time I saw Kyle run and I assume that he was gone but he actually goes around the car and comes up behind me as I'm kneeled over him and I actually turned and just saw legs next to me and I said what are you doing call 911 and the individual who I now realized hours later that was Kyle pulled out his phone I don't know who he called or what he did but he ran away very soon to that as the crowd ascended on the body that I was trying to provide
Starting point is 01:17:22 these things too. Richie, again, thank you for what you do. I have to ask this question. Why are you doing this? Glenn, when all of this stuff started after George Floyd
Starting point is 01:17:41 was killed or died, our team is based in Washington, D.C., and we were there at the White House on the ground when things really started to spy a lot of control. And as these protests zone sprung up around the country, what we noticed is that nobody was on the ground at 12 a.m. to 4 a.m. hours when all of the actual finals takes place. So we went to Seattle, for example,
Starting point is 01:18:08 you see all the network news reporters out there. Well, it's very much a party like Atten's sphere out here. And you'd see them do their dayside hits. You'd see them do their hits at 7 p.m. And it was at that time. But they weren't out there at 12 a.m. or 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. when fights were happening with individuals who were all armed with no police officers anywhere to be seen and no chance for police to even come in there because they couldn't. So we I knew that that was our video team's responsibility to tell the American public exactly what was going on in those zones at those that time because the preventing narrative was that you know it was peaceful in all kumbaya and what we saw and what we reported on.
Starting point is 01:18:51 I don't know if this was your video last night, but I saw sheriff's, you know, armored car come in to Kenosha last night. And these guys had guns. They were calling the sheriffs all kinds of names. Come on out, fight. Come on out. It was ugly.
Starting point is 01:19:12 What are you expecting people to do when the feds arrive? It's interesting because what we saw happen in Portland is, I think very much being reflected here. The courthouse is really, in this case it's a county courthouse, not in federal courthouse, but it's very much the center of the protests. And actually they put up a fence that's almost exactly the same construction as the one in Portland. And what happened in Portland is when the feds arrived, things escalated because the perception of the protesters, or whatever you want to call them, was that, you know, Donald Trump
Starting point is 01:19:49 was putting his foot in their community. And I think that this is only the beginning of the protests that we're going to see the notion as well, similar to what we're seeing important. All right. Richie, thank you. Please stay safe. Please stay safe. And reach out.
Starting point is 01:20:07 If there's anything that I can do for you, please reach out. You are doing important work. God bless. Thanks. All right. Times of courage. Times of courage. Okay, so I want to talk to you a little bit about an easy way and a less expensive way to shave.
Starting point is 01:20:35 And I know you're like shaving. Man, I just take out my razor and I shave and I use the foam and whatever. Right. Let me tell you about something. It comes in a size of about a travel bottle and it's going to last you forever and use about five drops of it, maybe three to five. On wet palm, you put it onto your face or you put it on your face. on your legs. Ladies can use the use this. It's shave secret and it's an essential or I'm sorry, it's a proprietary blend of essential oils and, um, you just work it into your beard or wherever
Starting point is 01:21:09 you're shaving and you just let the blade just glide over your face. It'd be the best, closest, uh, cleanest shave you've had. And there's something else about it, uh, as well. Um, it's a hundred percent, uh, natural and it will stop. most of the razor burns, the bumps, the ingrown hairs, it's a really, really good way to shave. And it's the classic way to shave before anybody was, you know, making money on foams and gels and Gillette was like, I can become King Gillette. Yeah, this is the way people used to shave and it's a better way to shave. Try it, you'll see. It's available, shave secret regionally at H.E.B. and Wegmans.
Starting point is 01:21:51 But it's also at Walmart and Amazon. And you can go right directly to the source, shave. Secret.com. If you use the promo code back, you'll get a 10% discount. Just try it. It's shavesecret.com. Use the promo code back at 10% off now. You're listening to Glenn Beck. This is the Glenn Beck program. If you've been listening to me for a long time and you've been following the, you know, things that I said were coming, you now know that almost everything we warned about is happening right now. just for those people who, you know, I painted this painting a while back. I don't know if it's ever seen on TV. It's the Van Gogh painting where, you know, he cut off his own ears, except I put my face in it. And I call that, yeah, but what if he's not crazy?
Starting point is 01:22:50 And if you're one of those people who's like, well, maybe he's not crazy. You probably know now, definitely not crazy. Let me just say raise your situational awareness. It's time to kick it up a notch. And if you have been prepared, you need to understand that these are the beginnings of times that could lead us into. I mean, I think there's a, it's not unreasonable to have a concern that the United States. States could go to civil war over this next election. The intent from Hillary Clinton is Joe Biden should never concede.
Starting point is 01:23:39 And those are her words. He should not concede. And, you know, we need to bring it to the courts and we've got attorneys and everything else. If we go through a, you know, a 2000-style election, do you remember how we were at each other's throats then? Can you imagine what it would be like, especially when you have organizers that put together the millions of people on the street after the last election, except this time they're pissed off, antifa, you know, revolutionaries.
Starting point is 01:24:15 Please be aware. All right, let me tell you about Rough Greens. Rough Greens is what I'm feeding my dog. Pat's feeding his dog. stew is doing it. It's actually not dog food. It's a supplement you put on the dog food. Yeah, it's great. It's, like, you sprinkle a little on top. Number one makes them want to eat it really fast.
Starting point is 01:24:39 Like crazy. Yeah. Dog crack. And then, of course, it's very healthy and good for them as well. Yeah, I brought this stuff, especially after I saw Uno. I did it once and Uno was just like, and he hates to eat. We actually brought it to the vet. And I'm like, okay, is this crack? Is this some sort of dog crack? Is he going to be up on the roof going, I'm super dog, I can fly. And she looked at all the ingredients and she said, please feed this to your dog. It's got everything your dog needs to be healthy, especially if you're feeding your dog dry dog food.
Starting point is 01:25:11 There's nothing good in the dry dog food. You still feed it to them. Just put this on top of it. And you'll see the difference. You'll see the difference in your dog. In 14 days of the jump start bag, if you want, just try the jumpstart bag. For 14 days, two weeks, see the difference in your dog. Roughgreens.com slash Beck.
Starting point is 01:25:31 Roughgreens.com slash back 833, Glenn 33. Of entertainment and enlightenment, this is the Glenn Beck program. Oh, my God. All right, we haven't even had a chance to talk about the convention last night. There was, what was the night before last? There were 19.4 million viewers of the RNC convention. just to put that into perspective. It is down from the 2016 election,
Starting point is 01:26:22 but the 2016 election, that night was 19.7. So it is doing really, really well and connecting. I can't wait to see it tonight. It's just driving the left out of their mind, driving them out of their mind, and they're doing anything they can to make people just look horrible. Just doing a Google search for Burgess Owens.
Starting point is 01:26:46 He spoke last night, Really, really effective. Really a good guy. The top result. RNC speakers with a past, plagiarism, hostility to immigrants, QAnon and anti-Muslim bias with his picture next to it. Unbelievable. We are talking to Burgess Owens.
Starting point is 01:27:11 Not any of those things in 60 seconds. This is the Glenn. and Beck program. Isn't that crazy? Time to step up on your grilling game. Summer, the sun's still beating down, grilling season still upon us. If you're like me,
Starting point is 01:27:28 that means, oh, you know, I think maybe it will go someplace that is having burgers or, you know, can we order ribs online? That's before I had a rec tech. Because rec tech,
Starting point is 01:27:40 I can just put the ribs in and then turn it on, check it with my phone. It tells me exactly when everything is done, what I need to do, what the temperature is, and I'm in air conditioning the whole time. It is great. It's a rec tech.
Starting point is 01:27:55 Yeah, I want you to do your own homework because rec tech has revolutionized the entire industry. They've done it with smart grill technology. This thing is built like a freaking tank. I mean, somebody comes to take, you know, to take your house and, you know, just get inside the rec tech. It's not quite that big, but, I mean, I think you'd be safe in that thing. It is built like a tank. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:28:15 Climbing inside your grower. grill is good advice to give on the air. You might want to make sure it can't operate. Okay. I just say. Anyway, check it out. Now, do your own homework. This will be the last grill you'll ever want to buy because it's just great.
Starting point is 01:28:29 And you compare it side by side with the nearest competitor. There's no choice. RecTech, R-E-C-E-Q.com. That's rec-tech. Dot com. Go there now. R-C-E-C-C-C-C-com. I want to play a couple of clips from last night.
Starting point is 01:28:54 Here's Burgess Owens. on what the people want you to believe. I was raised in the South during the days of Jim Crow and the KKK. Even through the challenges of segregation, we were taught that anything is possible in America. When I was 22 years old, I thought all my dreams had come true when I was drafted by the New York Jets.
Starting point is 01:29:15 Ten years later, with a Pro Bowl nod and a Super Bowl championship under my belt, I left the NFL to start a business. I thought I could never fail, but years later I did. and I lost everything. As I moved my family of six into a one-bedroom basement apartment in Brooklyn, New York,
Starting point is 01:29:32 I had a choice to make to feel sorry for myself or get to work. I worked as a chimney sweep during the day and a security guard at night. It was humbling to be recognized cleaning a chimney by someone who once cheered me as an NFL fan. But those hard days would pay off
Starting point is 01:29:49 and eventually I started a career, rewarding career, in the corporate world. We live in a country we're encouraged to dream big where second chances are at the core of our American DNA. We don't hear that same message from Nancy Pelosi's Congress,
Starting point is 01:30:05 career politicians, elitists, and even a former bartender wanted us to believe it's impossible. They want us to believe that what I did, what my great-great-grandfather did, is impossible for ordinary Americans. Burgess Soans is with us now. Burgess, first of all,
Starting point is 01:30:22 Hello, Gov! I didn't know you were a chimney. I didn't know you were a chimney. a chimney sweep. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's a very important chapter in my life, be honest with you. It's called a humbling process.
Starting point is 01:30:32 Yeah. It was good. I bet it was. I mean, I know, I know what it's like to be at the top of the world and then not be at the top of the world. And that is a really difficult thing to, if you don't expect, if you don't accept that as a great lesson of humility, it can really drive you crazy. Congratulations.
Starting point is 01:30:55 Well, thank you, Glenn. And I'll say that this is the thing that one American to tell the other, the greatest words, nine words of hope, if I can do it, you can do it. And we all go through our obstacles. That's what we have to realize. There's nobody exempt from it. We just have to embrace it and not hoard those tough times. Let people know. Listen, I know what it looks like. So the country, as long as you green big, as long as you hang tough and just keep up the good work, keep a faith, good things to happen in this country. That's what it's all about. So I noticed during your speech, they put last night, they started putting up to register to vote, text this number. And I think that the RNC has done the best job of reaching out to a community that they have only just kind of scratched the service because they've never believed it was worth the time
Starting point is 01:31:43 that nobody would ever change their vote. No black person would ever vote for a Republican over a Democrat. And this convention is so different than any RNC convention I've ever seen. Well, you know what it is? We're at a point, Glenn, and we look at it. This has been a really rough year. But it's also a year in which there's no more gray. We're seeing no question what we've been talking about for years.
Starting point is 01:32:11 There's no longer hypothetical what social and Marxism looks like. We see it full face. And we have Americans across the board and finally have conversations. about what we don't want. We want light. We want hope. We want opportunity. We don't want dark, the depression, death, and destruction. We never have been there. And I think that the left, just because they have no vision, they have no idea they've pushed it. They push this way too far. And American people are just not going to put up with it. So, Burgess, let me ask you this. I know, to some degree, because I've been told what it is like to be a conservative and black.
Starting point is 01:32:45 and so many times, and I've had this experience being conservative in New York, where people will come up and say, I'm conservative too, but don't say anything. Is that changing in the black community where they're not whispering as much? Are you seeing it? Oh, my goodness. It's a seat change. It is, I think the greatest president of President of Obama was that it's such a lousy president that black people find out of saying, you know, whatever happened to hope is changed,
Starting point is 01:33:12 what really was the deal? and we have people literally when I go through airports, black people wearing MAGA hats, we have a walkaway campaign, we have the deplexing. That is what's scaring the left so much. They have been addicted to us for decades, and we're finally realizing that we're not just walking away, we're sprinting away. So, no, I'm excited about what's happening. And for those who just kind of, you know, what I think is going to happen,
Starting point is 01:33:36 those who still don't quite understand all of the ways that we believe in our party, they're realizing when they see their homes being destroyed or their their lives or the business being just up to end it they're realizing that there's something wrong with the part they were part of and all we have to have to have more voices like ours and that's going to continue to to move us in the right direction I feel very hopeful then but what's happening across the country you know it was a lot easier to make this case before COVID because people were actually seeing it now they're struggling again and the the black communities and
Starting point is 01:34:12 it's not helping in some cities when they're burning things down to the ground. Antifa is doing that. Yeah. Yeah. How is the attitude towards the economy? Because when people are hungry, you know, they're hungry. Well, here's a deal. When you have black people who all they want is life-lived to Institute of Happiness, and they see these white BLM dot-ink people coming through with a few blacks that are kind of
Starting point is 01:34:42 with them they see antipa and they're destroying their community destroying their livelihood uh and they're telling us they need to defund the black community is probably getting it that they never have been a priority to the left and then and then and the more messages we get out there like we're doing right now the more they're going to they're going to understand it so i think there's going to be a big speed change to be honest with you and i'll say this glen i i've always believed that the black community and the Hispanic community and the as those minorities that we've been kind of marginalized to a degree are going to be the communities that as we pull ourselves back from the abyss will pull our entire country back.
Starting point is 01:35:15 History will be told that it was a black, there was a community, the minority communities that truly was the salvation for our nation because we're getting it, we're waking up. And as we do so, the left has so little power, and they cannot get their illegals in fast enough to replace us. So, and they can't get enough to largely balance in to replace us. So this will go down in history as, as the minority. minorities, those who had trouble in stimulating as being the people that bring out country back and show the rest of the world what America really looks like. We're talking to Burgess Owens.
Starting point is 01:35:49 He is a candidate, you know, fourth district in Utah, right? Yep, yep. Not something, I mean, I've known you for a long time, not something that you've ever wanted to do, which I think you should wear that as a badge of honor. Well, you know, Glenn, when our conversation is always about. the second chance of little youth. It was all about the kids that we all believe is our future. And I realized this time last year that if we don't get the house back, our kids here in Utah around the country do not have a chance. Because it's always been about policies. And as we know, the left, the elitist, love to put in policies to keep people miserable, dependent, and
Starting point is 01:36:28 hopeless. And you see that now across the country. So we have such a good group. I'll say that those are listening. Look at your district. If you have a Republican standing, vote for him or her, support them. This is a very different class of individuals that are patriots that know how to replicate a president who understands what American-loving leadership looks like. We can change this country in such a big way by getting in the house, put some more back phone in our Senate,
Starting point is 01:36:54 and allowing our president for more years, guys. I say this, we have a renaissance ahead of us. Great things will come together, and we'll finally point out who our true enemy is, and it's not each other. It's that hard left. Marx and socialists has done so much damage to so many who have trusted them
Starting point is 01:37:09 in the past. We're talking to Burgess Owens. Burgess, when you stood on the stage last night and did that, can you just take me, just a personal kind of thing. Take me through what it's like to receive a call from whomever. Does the White House call you and say, we want you to speak? And then to find yourself on a stage knowing that 20 million people are listening to your words.
Starting point is 01:37:35 What is the pressure like? What is that like? Thank goodness, Glenn. We didn't talk. You're going to tell me those 20 million people. I might have had a different approach on it if I had known that. But here's the thing. This is what dreams can come true.
Starting point is 01:37:48 Two years ago, I wrote my last book, Why I Stand, and I was hoping not thinking about politics, hopefully just get a present so I can some way be to go across the country and help give a voice to those who are running for office that needed my voice. And so, and I've always hoped that maybe, hopefully, I can maybe be part of a convention. Maybe my voice could be there. So for me to get that call,
Starting point is 01:38:09 it was, it was just a confirmation, dream big, go toward it, know that there's a, there's a perfect plan out there. If you want to make a difference, heaven and Father will find a way for you to do that. And I just thought it was just remarkable. And to get through it, and then to say finally, you know, that the talk worked out pretty good. For me, that was a, there's a magic moment. I can relax and now go back and enjoy it. So it was, it was a good one. It really was. It was an exciting moment. That's good. We'll watch you go through this whole cycle. And thank you for everything that you have done. You were fantastic on our special this summer when you were out at Gettysburg
Starting point is 01:38:44 talking about, was it your great-grandfather? Your great-great-great-grandfather, Salisburg. And everybody's beginning to know about them, and I'm so thankful because that is the American dream. That's the American way. Tell her real quick. How you get here? Tell her real quick. Great-great-grandfather, Salisbury. Came here and the Sousel of a ship. Eight years old, was escaped to the north of the Underground Red Road, got out to Texas. The came with a successful entrepreneur, saw the first black church, the first black elementary school, a person, 102 acres of land paid up in two years, and was a tremendous Christian who was able to forgive because of the people he met him coming across the plains
Starting point is 01:39:20 and realized that all bad, all whites were not bad. There were good Americans out there helping them to make it happen, and that's what we, the people going to have always done. If we ever learn our history, we can never ever start, go to the racist race, because we have been so good to helping each other out and doesn't matter what our color are, what our religion is. We the people have done great things. We just have to remember that. And he's a good example of that, by the way.
Starting point is 01:39:43 Burgess, thank you so much. It's an honor to be your friend. Burgess for Utah.com. Burgess for Utah. Dot com. Thank you so much, Burgess. Thank you, David Glenn. All right, go back.
Starting point is 01:39:54 We got him to win. He needs to win. Maybe great. Yeah. You know, by the way, the last poll, there's only been one poll that I've seen up from that race. It was an exact tie. So this is a very, you know, very winnable for Burgess. He'd be great in Congress.

If you're so many people are trying to move into, into other states, gee, I wonder why. You're right now looking at a situation to where you could get 2.5% interest on a new loan. If Fannie and Freddie Mac are smelling that trouble is coming, they start charging now a 0.5% refinance fee. They've moved that date from September 1st to December 1st, so there's a little more time, but you're going to start getting extra charges.

Starting point is 01:42:43 Feeling confident today? Happy? I'm actually very excited to see what happens at the convention tonight. I think this is going to be a very big night. Big speech for Trump. I mean, you figure the campaign seems to believe that they have about four chances here
Starting point is 01:43:00 to make an impact for the American people you have tonight and three debates. Obviously, the strategy of showing Biden as relatively incapable of speech goes more to these debates. Tonight is the night for Trump to kind of tell his story. And look, there's a lot of good things to tell. I mean, it's tough because with COVID,
Starting point is 01:43:24 it is a difficult thing to say, which he has to say all the time. Before this, the economy was going great. It's hard for people to remember even going to restaurants in a lot of places in this country right now, let alone remember when the economy was great. We were trying to remember because we're going to the movies next week. What's the new movie coming?
Starting point is 01:43:44 out. We've been waiting for it. Yeah, tenant. So we're going to go to the movie next week. And Tanya and I were talking and were like, when was the last? I mean, we go to movies every week. Oh, yeah. You're big movie.
Starting point is 01:43:55 And we were like, what was the last? We couldn't even remember the last movie we saw. Yeah. I mean, our lives have changed dramatically. It really, they really have. I've been to two movies since the movies have reopened. And, uh, it. It is weird.
Starting point is 01:44:15 The first one I went to, I went with Pat, right after the radio show one day. We went to go see a terrible Vin Diesel movie. Did it see? Was it released now? It was released in March. So when they opened up the theaters, there's one theater near our studios that opened before everyone else basically in the state. Right when they were allowed to, like day one. And they just kept all the movies that were in there in March, just kept them in.
Starting point is 01:44:39 So we went and that was the only one that we had seen. Oh, it was bad. It's Vin Diesel It was not a good movie It's Vin Diesel It was But I mean It's Vin Diesel
Starting point is 01:44:49 I've seen fast and furious Many of the 47 that have been released And as you might point out It's Vin Diesel Right But like you see the dumb explosions Right There's a couple of funny scenes
Starting point is 01:45:00 Yeah And then there's Vin Diesel And he's not good Because he's Vin Diesel Like let's just say Let's say You know rotten tomatoes Has the scale of like
Starting point is 01:45:11 You know 0 to 100% What if there was a Vin Diesel only Rotten Tomatoes, which only rated Vin Diesel movies? Okay. And we'd rate the best Vin Diesel movie ever made 100%. Where with this one that you saw? Like 10%. And 100% is just the best Vin Diesel movie ever, yes.
Starting point is 01:45:31 Wow. So it's a major, major difference. Wow. What was the name of that so I can avoid it? I want to say it was called Blood Spot. Wow. Wow. Blood Spot.
Starting point is 01:45:40 starring Vin Diesel was bad. It wasn't a good decision. I will say that. I mean, you would say avoid it like the plague. Yeah, I probably should have. You probably should have. It's funny. You were begging for the plague halfway through.
Starting point is 01:45:58 You can actually see the video of Pat and I going to see this movie because we were all excited and we did this big buildup of like, we're going to do this like life deathifying thing. We're going to go to a movie theater. This is when none of the, none of them in the country are open at this. point. And we go in, you can see, like, we're excited. It's this thing we haven't done in so long on the way out. We're like, so the movie's over. And it sucked. Because you will go from like really excited to then realizing the movie stars. Vin Diesel. Yes. So I saw that and I saw, I actually saw Outposts too. Have you seen? Have you heard of Outpost? It was based on the Jake Tapper book about
Starting point is 01:46:34 this Afghanistan war situation where they were, they had this area. Supposedly good. Yeah, it was actually pretty good. I mean, it was very violent. It was too violent for my wife who went to go see it. She was, this is someone who used to really love going to see horror movies all the time. That's changed. And now every time someone gets shot, she closes her eyes. In that movie,
Starting point is 01:46:54 we didn't see much of anything. If you had that policy. Let me, uh, let me, uh, can we pick this conversation up with an observation next? Uh-oh. Is the Glenn? Wives should not listen. Uh, moving forward. Specifically, our wives should not listen.
Starting point is 01:47:14 A recent statement by Bloomberg, the Fed will likely wrap up asset purchases. I mean, that doesn't that sound, that doesn't sound bad. Oh, they're going to wrap up asset purchase, but they're going to have assets. Right. What are those assets? Have you thought? What are those assets? Nice things.
Starting point is 01:47:32 Your home. Your home, your business, your company, stocks. Oh.

And be watching it right along with you and be commenting. sure on Twitter and Facebook and whatever. I'm actually excited to see it. He is not a good teleprompter speaker.
Starting point is 01:49:15 He is best off the cuff. And he's also best live. When you see him in person, it's a totally different experience. And it doesn't come across the same way as it does in person. He is, he knows how to work a crowd. And he knows he's funny. He is actually funny. His timing, his comedic timing.
Starting point is 01:49:37 is really good. And I didn't realize it until I saw him speak live. And when you do, you're like, I see why everybody goes. It's really fun. It's like you're hanging out with the president. It's like, you know, he'll start reading part of his speech and then he'll be like, yeah, but let me tell you what really happened. It's, I mean, it's just crazy.
Starting point is 01:50:01 It's crazy. So we'll see how he does tonight. But I think the convention so far has been a. dramatic success and really, really good. Last night, my wife and I may have not watched all of the convention because we are fans of Yellowstone. Have you watched Yellowstone yet? I've heard nothing but really good things about it, but I've not watched it at all.
Starting point is 01:50:25 In the old days, this would be the number one show on television, I think. Really? Yeah. It's Kevin Costner, right? Kevin Costner. It's ranchers up in Wyoming. and they just have, or is it Montana, they just have a really different way of living. And it's kind of like, you know, last night there was a line where the cattlemen all get together and they say, you know, to the new guy who's the head of livestock and protection and everything else.
Starting point is 01:50:57 And he's like, you know, I have to tell you, you need to be governor. He's like, oh, I don't, you know, I really don't think. He's like, no, I'm telling you. you're exactly what Montana wants. Somebody steals your cow, you kill them, and you take the cattle back. And it's like,
Starting point is 01:51:14 oh, okay, all right. There you go. But we were watching that last night. And it, I mean, do you remember,
Starting point is 01:51:21 probably too young? You probably, you might remember who shot J.R. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, for Dallas. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:27 This is like, who shot J.R. on steroids. We forgot that it was a season finale. And like, this one is, who shot, all of them.
Starting point is 01:51:37 I mean, they've all been shot. And it's like, uh, wait, what? It's a great show. Kevin Costner is great in it. It is the best, uh, I don't even know what you would call her villain that you love. You know how you love to, you see people who are just like really bad, but you're kind of rooting for them. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:52:00 This woman is, she's not a good person. No? But you, but she's fighting for her dad and everything else. But she is just ruthless. And she is the best hero villain I think I've ever seen on television. And when you find out that she's English, I can't even imagine it. I can't imagine it. Because she just seems like a foul-mouthed American rancher.
Starting point is 01:52:27 It's great. You would love this show. Yeah. Yeah, I got to check this out. Okay. So now my wife and your wife should not be anywhere near the radio. Unfortunately, my wife now has friends that text message her and say, did you hear what he said? Thanks a lot.
Starting point is 01:52:48 Oh, so you're right? Elena, I'm talking about you. Yes. Does she know she's evil? I don't think so. Okay. She does now. Anyway.
Starting point is 01:52:56 So I don't know if you've noticed this. and it's kind of a slow boil. But, and maybe I'm the only one that's noticed, have you noticed that almost every show now is almost full out pornography? Has anybody else noticed that? What channel are you watching exactly? I'm, you know, I watched the Peacock Network. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:53:27 That's NBC. It's a new thing, yeah. I haven't been on that yet. And I haven't been on it either. It was free, so I just. I was looking for shows. And their number one show, what was it? It was on, oh, Brave New World.
Starting point is 01:53:39 Well, just, I'm straight up, just, I mean, I don't need to see the, you know, the letter stuffed in the envelope, I'm saying. You know what I mean? I don't need to see. Is there no subtlety anymore? When has everything become so pornographic? I just meaning you're seeing a lot of nudity in these shows. No, no, no. You're not seeing a lot of new.
Starting point is 01:54:01 Well, yes, you're seeing a lot of nudity, but you're also, it's, it's, they're, they're absolutely unwatchable if you are, if you remember who, you know, you used to be, you know, before COVID. Yeah. And you were trapped in the house and you're watching everything. And now you're watching it and you're like, oh, yeah, it's just a couple of people saying the F word, smoking crack, having, uh, sex, uh, in, in, in, wow, ways I didn't know you could have sex. What, what do you need, honey? I mean, it's, it's like it's, it has gone.
Starting point is 01:54:31 So far, there is, tell me the shows you can watch with your family. Well, Ozark's pretty good for the kids. Yeah. Right. No, but it's. And Ozark. And I mean, last night and this way, the kids, Tanya's like, I did the Yellowstone. It's just so the language on it.
Starting point is 01:54:49 I'm like, honey, honey, there's nothing else to watch. There's nothing else. Everything is like this. This is tame. This is like sesame straw. now. Even Oscar the Grouch is like, F you! Me, you're like, what? I'm in here
Starting point is 01:55:07 with Big Bird. We're banging down here in the garbage can. If you! What happened is Sesame Street? It saw that episode. Really weird. It seemed out of character for both Big Bird and Oscar. Apparently, they've evolved. Yeah, hey, it happens. I think part of this is
Starting point is 01:55:25 this thing that we've talked about with the Golden Age of Television, which I really think is where we are right now. These shows are so well. done. But they're no longer, they don't longer need to be made for wide audiences. But can they, can somebody make something for what I think is a wide audience that wants to watch something with their kids? Can anyone make that? It's tough because it's, it's what's making them better too, because they don't have to cater to this broadcast sort of vibe. They don't have to head every single. But now they also can just insert all this crap in it. Anyone.
Starting point is 01:56:01 anyone. Is there no market for somebody who's just like, I, you know. There should be. I know Pat watches a lot of these shows, but he watches them on with Vid Angel, which we'll edit out. Yeah, we've got that. We have that. We just downloaded that. Okay. Well, that should do. Because that works with Netflix. It only took out of Yellowstone. It only took like a minute and a half out. And so, okay. You know, try. Have you seen episodes? We watched three episodes of episodes. Oh, that's an even a show. It's with Joey, Matt LeBlanc.
Starting point is 01:56:34 Oh, okay. And, you know, so you have to be at the bottom of the barrel when you're like, I'm going to watch the Matt LeBlanc show. But we watched like the first three episodes and it was really funny and really smart and really going someplace. And then it's, I mean, I'm not kidding you. It's every line is sexual. And they, whatever they, I mean, and they show and it's put that in Vid Angel. You get the titles. Right.
Starting point is 01:57:01 That's it. You get the opening and the close, nothing else. You get all the names, a lot of, there's a lot of F-bombs. Yeah, no, the names are okay. The names are okay. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, no, it is, it is, it's where we're going. I mean, I talked about this and no one seemed to care because we were in the middle of a global
Starting point is 01:57:16 pandemic at the time. But, like, the fact that ESPN aired that Michael Jordan documentary was non-stop F-bombs on regular television. I mean, it was cable, obviously, it's ESPN, but not on, you know, their premium service, not on any sort of something you were. watch guys, I assume, you know, sit down and watch ESPN with their sons watching. Totally. I can't.
Starting point is 01:57:38 You can't do it right now. You can't. Because you don't know. Like, I wanted to show them that. I want to show my son that documentary in particular because, you know, you're talking about probably the best, arguably the best basketball team of all time, clearly and inarguably the best basketball player of all time. And I wanted to show him who the best basketball player was just in case someone at some
Starting point is 01:57:59 point tried to tell him that was a LeBron James. so he would know in advance how dumb that argument was. And I couldn't even show the thing to him because even the edited version, which they ran on another channel, the ESPN 2 ran the ones with the beeps, which I thought fascinated. Weird should have been the other way around.
Starting point is 01:58:15 Right. ESPN 1 runs the full-out F-bomb every 10 seconds version. I can't show that to my kid. I can't even show that to my kid. He's nine years old. I'm not going to show it to him even with all the beeps in it. And it's like you think you give him some sort of version. This should be a mass appeal thing to watch with your children.
Starting point is 01:58:31 Because nobody, no one. I mean, I mean, you know, we lived in New York. So we've heard, we've heard fine, delicate ladies using language that ladies just don't use. And remember who was it said, I think it was Mike Huckabee or something, you know, eight years ago said, I am, I am, the people are using the F word here in New York. Women, ladies are using the F word. And I was like, you've not been to New York before? But now it's like there is no language rule anymore that, you know, you'd be on TV.
Starting point is 01:59:07 You know, you don't want to swear and whatever. Everybody. Everybody. Everybody. In bigger cities, especially. But I think it's happening in smaller cities now, too. Everybody. It's the language.
Starting point is 01:59:21 It is, you know, I'm watching, have you ever, you know, watch stuff on the BBC? Yes. Okay. Their language, their words don't mean the same. things as ours do. There's a few important variations. Yeah, they use the C word and the T word, which are the same
Starting point is 01:59:36 here in America. And they don't mean that over there. And so you're kind of watching, you're like, oh my gosh, but they've been loose with things, you know, Benny Hill. We haven't been. Now, I think we're worse. Now it's like you watch British TV and they're a little more
Starting point is 01:59:57 buttoned up. You know, we were the, we were Puritans. The English. The English were much worse than we were. They were loose with standards much worse than we were. We were the Puritans. Now we're like, hey, pornography right over here, eight o'clock, ring your kids. Yeah. I think a lot of that stuff is just got out the window with, because you have like the major effects of the actual COVID and the economy. And that's what everyone's focused on. Then you have all the race stuff and all that stuff that's gone on. Like a few layers down from that, you have, I don't know, is bourbon okay at 7 a.m.?
Starting point is 02:00:32 Yes. I'm sure. Why not? You know, that's out the window now. Right. And I think all these things, all these standards, we've just all been so frustrated with everything that we've thrown them out the window. Everyone's gained like 50 pounds. And now I was out. 50. Well, are you working out? I'm not talking mid-med. But you have that going on. And then the, guarding these little cultural lines that we normally would be focused on is just not a priority. if anyone. So they're just going crazy. They're just letting everything fly. It's, it is crazy.
Starting point is 02:01:02 It is something that, I mean, and I just, I know somebody's going to do it. There is a market out there. There's a market out there. But you can't get Netflix or Amazon pick it up. They don't want it. Why? You think like Disney Plus would want it, right? And maybe that's what they're going to try to do.
Starting point is 02:01:20 Disney Plus? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't start with Disney. You're not a big Disney fan anymore, are you? Oh, no, I'm not a big Disney fan.
Starting point is 02:01:27 No, I am not a big Disney fan. I used to take my kid. I would be the first to take my kids. I would be, even without kids, I'd be the first to see the new real big Disney movie. Now it's like, you know, it's in that thing, kids. Yeah, you're that guy now. I'm that guy now. It's not fun.
Starting point is 02:01:45 But in my day, Patriot Mobile. Now look, do you ever feel like everything is against you? Like, everything? It was like, really? the socialist have taken that too? Everything. Everything. With your cell phone, they are giving the big cell phone providers or giving money to Planned Parenthood, giving money to, you know, anti-second amendment stuff.
Starting point is 02:02:12 You know, and they have a right to do that. But I don't want my money going there. Patriot Mobile is the only one. Patriot Mobile is not shelling out money to leftist causes. If you are using big mobile right now, you're getting great cell phone coverage because they got these big fancy towers and they're great. But every time you make a phone call, you are providing money to Planned Parenthood or other places like that.
Starting point is 02:02:36 Now, here's the secret, Patriot Mobile. You're going to get the same coverage because those big fancy towers, everyone's on them. They're the same towers. Everyone's on those towers. So you get the same coverage. You get nicer people on the phone when you have a problem. And lower prices.
Starting point is 02:02:55 there's no hidden fees no oh yeah well this was n uh-uh they don't gouge your eyes out and they take a portion of their profits and they give them to things like for instance i think this month uh they are giving them to veterans and first responders and if you're a veteran or first responder you even you even get a cheaper deal um then then you know people like me which i feel that is wrong 972 patriot 972 Patriot call that number Make this the last cell phone call you make on Big Mobile where they are just working against you when you're sleeping 972 Patriot or PatriotMobil.com slash back.
Starting point is 02:03:38 Switch right now, Patriotmobile.com slash back. There's a couple of pieces of audio. I want you to hear from last night. First, Governor Christie Nome on the Democrat-run cities. Listen to what she said. Now, at times, our country has struggled to live up to our founding principles. Another great American, Abraham Lincoln,
Starting point is 02:04:33 knew that struggle better than anybody. When he was just 28 years old, honest Abe saw wild and furious passions worse than savage mops, he said, taking the place of reasoned judgment. He was alarmed by the increasing disregard for the rule of law throughout the country. He was concerned for the people that had seen their property destroyed, their families attacked,
Starting point is 02:04:57 and their lives threatened. or even taken away. These good people were becoming tired of and disgusted with a government that often... Whatever she's saying is important. But look at her arms. She is... I mean, that's Michelle Obama. That's Michelle.
Starting point is 02:05:13 I'll put those arms against Michelle Obama's arms. Yeah. Why aren't they talking about Christy Nome's arms? Right. The same reason they're not talking about Melania Trump, right? I mean, here's someone who... Look, it's not even fair. She's obviously the most beautiful first lady in American history.
Starting point is 02:05:27 It's not even fair. a supermodel. Right. I mean, so... And you know what? Jackie O. would have been a supermodel in her day. Yeah, maybe. I think she... I mean, she could have been. She's very, obviously, very pretty, as everyone would recognize. And she'd be this... She'd be in second, but blatantly in second, right?
Starting point is 02:05:43 Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's not even fair. It was her profession. She was walking down the into the Rose Garden, and I were like, this is the longest runway she's ever been on. You know, I mean, no one ever says it. No one ever says. You know, I don't like her husband or whatever, but she is gorse. gorgeous and well poised and, you know, speaks five languages. Just amazing. Just amazing.
Starting point is 02:06:06 All right. We'll see you tomorrow on radio.
