What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlighten. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

Well, we had the Candidates Summit last Friday, and all of the candidates were there, except for Donald Trump. I think we narrowed things down quite a bit. I heard from a ton of people that this was the best look at the candidates they had ever seen. I think this is the new way to. vet your candidates. It was really, really good. And you had one day just listening to these guys, and they all revealed themselves one way or another, either

you know, for good or for ill. But it was fascinating to watch. You'd still watch the replay on Blaze TV. And my one-on-one interview with Tucker Carlson, if you miss that, we'll give it to you. It's available now at Blaze TV. Use the promo code. not be censored for $30 off. But I want to go through some of that.

And my heart is happy and heavy at the same time. A personal note coming up. Give me 60 seconds and we begin. So our sponsor of this half hour's relief factor, Gary is 71. He's a grandfather. Not only that, he actually just recently adopted. his granddaughter and takes care of her full time. I can think of a president who might do that as well.

Maybe learn from Gary's example, but maybe that's just me. Of course, I don't know if I want Joe Biden adopting a seven-year-old girl. That might never forget this. Anyway, Gary was having a hard time keeping up with her for quite a while because he was in severe pain with his joints. Then he heard me talk about relief factor, and it worked for him. These days, I'm happy to report Gary, not only keep. keeps up with his seven-year-old granddaughter, but he is actually able to take care of her full-time

better than ever. Gary and his granddaughter, they got their lives back. Three-week quick start. Now, only 1995.

Feel the difference. So, Stu, I have to start with this because this is something that is really heavy on my heart and going to happen in the next hour.

And it's going to affect everything I do today because I'm a little scatterbrained because of this. My mouth is dry because of this. Do you remember the day, Stu? Do you remember the week of shows that happened in North Richland Hills in Texas, just outside of Dallas? And they were my wife and I going down to this little town called North Richland Hills. And this very, very brave young girl, I think she was 15, who had found herself pregnant. and she wanted to have the baby, but she couldn't abort the baby,

and she didn't know how to give the child up. And that day, when her mother found out she was pregnant, she happened to be listening to this program, and Tanya and I had been looking to adopt a child. And what's amazing is, Tanya came on that day and we were talking about some reality show where you could adopt a child. And I said, would you ever be on that show? She says, no, you don't adopt them through television game shows.

And this woman who was in Texas, she just laughed and thought, I like that lady. And then her daughter called her and said, Mom, I couldn't face you. I had to stop at a pay phone and call you and tell you that I'm pregnant. She said, come home. Now, I had had a dream about a year before, maybe two years before, when Tanya and I were trying to get pregnant. And I never figured out how that worked. But anyway, I thought I knew, but she said, no, that's not the way we do it. Anyway, so about two years before, I said, I think we're supposed to adopt.

Because in my prayer, I heard, adopt. Because we were both, I said to her over and over again, I can't wait. see your eyes in a child. And in my prayers, I thought I heard something along the lines of you, ego maniac. It's not about you. Adopt. And so when I told Tanya, she said, no, I want to have a child. And so I went back to prayer and I said, okay, it's her.

It's not me. I'm on your side, God. She's crazy. and I heard in my prayers, when you are ready, when she is ready, a baby boy will rush to you. The week we talked about it on the air is the week that that baby boy rushed to us. And I have been convinced that he was going to be a leader of men. and he was always against that because he grew up in my family and he sees what happens to leaders in this country and he sees how people treat leaders that they disagree with and ever since he was

a little boy I stopped saying it to him because he would say no no no no no and you get very upset I'm not going to be a leader I'm not going to a leader or no i'm not a leader of men i don't want that he wanted to be aaron not moses and uh i said well we'll just see what god has in store fast forward three years ago my son is picked up by a friend of his in the summer and uh when i say picked up i mean literally picked up his his his friend is a lineman and picked him up and said, I'm signing you up for football. And Rave said, okay. Now we have, you know me. I mean, yes, I'm Mr.

Sportscaster. And it would be hard for you to believe that I don't know anything at all about any sport. I mean, you know, I know probably my dad played golf. So I know, you know, like if you get an eagle, that means an eagle picked up your ball on the fairway and dropped it into the little bucket thing there. You know, double eagle means it took two of them. Maybe they were tossing them back and forth with their claws. I don't know. But my son tried out in Texas for football.

And the coach pulled them off the field at the tryouts. said, Beck, come in. And he looked at him seriously and he said, have you ever even watched this game before? And Rave honestly said, no, sir, I really, I know.

I haven't. And he said, okay, and you want to play it? And he's like, well, yes, sir, I would, I'd like to try. So they kept him on the team kind of like, I don't know, kind of the mascot for a while. But he worked and worked and worked and worked and worked. and he became the head of special teams.

And when I say special teams, let's not question that too much, okay? But he was the head of special teams. And they went all the way to the championship. They lost. And I told him before they played the game, son, if you do lose, please don't ever become Uncle Rico where you're sitting in your van in a field and you say, you know, if they would have just given it to me, I could have thrown it over those mountains there.

And he took the loss. And that was his senior year. And then he said to me, I want to go to college for football. And I said, oh, you know, maybe Texas A&F. I'm like, oh, okay, okay, all right. And I want to play in the NFL. Okay, all right. Now, all I'm hearing in my head is my father, as I said to him,

I want to be a big broadcaster someday. I'm 13 years old. And he's like, oh, okay, all right. And I want to be on the radio. I'm going to apply for a job to be on the radio. Oh, okay, all right. And what did my dad say? Well, do you need a ride?

Yeah, dad, because I can't drive. And he drove me to the appointments and he took me. And I, looking back now, no, he had to have thought, Oh my gosh, what does this kid doing? This is not going to, this is going to leave a mark. This isn't going to work out. But he took me. And he would eventually, before I was 15, I lived about 90 miles north of Seattle.

And I got a job at 15 years old in Seattle at KUBE. And it was the number one station in Seattle. And my dad would drive me every time. 90 minutes, wait for the broadcast to be over, and then drive me back. So what am I going to say? You'll never make it, son, you'll never make you. So let me just tell you, long story short, what's happening. After the really amazing summit that we had on Friday, which we're going to get into in here a second,

I took my son to a university where he, He had been talking to a coach, friend of a friend of a friend, just talking to this coach. And he'd been talking to him on the phone for like a couple of weeks, he and the other coaches. And he said, Dad, they want to meet me. And they're thinking about making me a coach for, I guess the offensive coordinator. I'd be his, you know, number two guy. And I said, oh, huh, that's, did you tell them that you hadn't really known anything about football two years ago? And he said, oh, are you kidding me?

Are you think I'm stupid? Of course I did. And I said, like, really told them that when you did watch the Super Bowl, we were really watching it for the commercials. And he laughed and he said, that's exactly what I told them, Dad. and I said, okay. So I took my son to the summit, and then we flew to this university on Saturday. And I watched my son become a man. And I watched him in the film room as they were putting X and O's and drawing.

I'm thinking, you guys really need an art school here because those X's and O's, they could be, you could really draw the players so much better than that. But he's drawing the X, they're drawing the X's and O's. and my son is like, ooh, that's sneaky. Because you want, what you're trying to get defense to think is this, this, and this. And he's talking about keeping up with him. And I just couldn't believe it. I just couldn't believe it.

And I thought of my dad, how great it is to have been raised by a man who said you can do whatever you set your mind to. Of course, those were in the days before Simon Cowell. but you can do whatever you set your mind to. So, my son is leaving the ranch and flying back home today and packing his stuff up and we'll be hitting the road to be coachback. You have been there. Many have been here when you heard that Tanya and I were trying to have a baby and I probably shared too much about how that can just become icky after a while

how we prayed and prayed and prayed and then how raf came to us you've heard the probably more of the struggles than the good things especially in the last couple of years I thought it was only right today to tell you if you're still in those struggle parts or if you're still struggling to have a baby, there is nothing you will do in your life that is worth more than raising a child. There is nothing harder, there is nothing more heartbreaking, and there is nothing more glorious.

I thought you should know that that little baby we adopted today has become a man. Back in a minute. All right. Let me tell you about rough creams. Geez, now I've got to talk to you about my dog who just started to limp. I don't know or not.

No, you are not going to get old and die. We're feeding Uno Rough Greens. It's a supplement. It's not a dog food. It was developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black. And you sprinkle it on your dog's food. And Uno, the thing I liked at first was he would just eat. Una would never eat before.

Just never did it. We'd go to the doctor and they'd say, you gotta feed him. We're like, we are feeding him. He won't eat it. So we started putting rough greens on top and he started eating it. He loves it. He won't eat his food now without it. And I think it's given him a much longer and healthier life.

How about to the program? How are you, ma'am? Good. I've done this now three times. Sending a kid off into the world. It doesn't get easier. I can't imagine it. I've never years away and I do not want to think about it.

Yeah, it never stops being great. Never stops being great. No, or seriously, it doesn't. You know what it's been, you know what our life has been like for the last year with our kids, all of them. It's worth every second. Worth every second. And you know, when somebody will look at you, just kind of give you the side eye, but a good side eye, not like the, you know, Glenn Beck's in New York side eye. When they give you the side eye like, this kid is good.

It's just so there's just nothing makes you feel better. Just nothing that makes you feel better. Yeah. And this is to watch him grow up. The story arc of his interest in football to, to getting some role of coaching is, I mean, it's really a meteoric rise. Knowing you.

So he said we went, I remember going when he was young over to your house for like a Super Bowl party back in the day. And like, It was like, I think it was, gosh, I don't remember what year it was, but I remember watching it over your place. And it was like, you didn't really come in the room during the game. Like, you were out. There were snacks. You were around that area of the house.

Yes, snacks. You gave him no guidance in this field whatsoever. None. This is none. Still don't. Still don't. You know, he's really mad at me because I worked with, I worked with, what's his name? in Washington's too.

I believe Joe Thaisman is what you're thinking of. Joe Thysman. I worked with Warren Moon and Andy Reed and somebody else. And I have all these footballs someplace. And he's like, what, what, you work? What did you? Wait, what? And I'm like, yeah, it wasn't a big deal.

I don't know anything really about him. I mean, I know him, but I knew nothing about football. And he's like, oh my gosh. And remember, we went to Super Bowl, was it 30? What was the one in San Francisco? And the last time I was in San Francisco, thank God. And we didn't even stay. We didn't even stay.

And he met Al, not Al Michaels. Was it Al Michaels? He met Dungy. Gosh, I don't even know. A couple of the other big, big, you know, Hall of Fame. And he was like, he has pictures. and he's like, look at me. I'm looking away.

I'm not even, I don't, what was wrong with me? And then Saturday, he said, hey, could I possibly be a big coach in 15 years if I work really hard? The coach said, yeah, why? He said, look at my dad. He's probably got 15 more years in him.

I want to make it before he's moving off to the, as he says, maternity ward. The Glenn Back program. Ah, all right. Let's see. I want to talk to you about Mantis X. Mantis X has kept me being a pretty good shot. I mean, I couldn't believe it. I was shooting last week here at the ranch, and I haven't actually, I've been doing dry fire and using Mantis X. And I got up, loaded my gun, and out of, I think, 18 rounds, I missed two. That was remarkable for me, especially since, I haven't actually fired a gun in two years. That is something. It's perishable.

It just goes away. Mantis X is a easy-to-use system. It's widely used by the military. Now it started out, I think, with the Marines. And you connect the app to your smartphone or your tablet via Bluetooth. And it shows you, it tracks the gun. So it shows you when you are aiming what's happening. How's your hand shaking?

Are you drifting here and there? When you pull, are you drifting? and it corrects it after every shot. It's amazing. You'll get really good. Go to mantisX.com. MantisX.com. And head over to blazeTV.com slash glen

the summit. And I really think that we are, I think mainstream media should be a little concerned. And it was all thanks to you. Thank you so much. This is why I started The Blaze to have a place where people could go and it would be an alternative to the mainstream media. As I told Tucker, he's like, yeah, you were the first to do this, weren't you? And I said, dude, we were, I had to take.

tell the listeners, okay, there's a lot of buffering going on. And he said, buffering. I don't know. What's buffering? And I said, yeah, that's how long ago it was. But now, I mean, it was, it was a game changer. Did you watch it at all, Pat? I know you were on the air and.

Yeah, saw some of it. Holy cow. Yeah, really good. That was, have you ever seen? Did you see the Ace of Hutchinson? Oh, my gosh. We played some of that. morning. Ooh, did he go up in flames or what? I think the Hindenberg was a really, really good

analogy for that. That's what it was like. I was, bad. I was watching it and I thought, this is the Hindenburg. Yeah, it's bad. Here it is. Cut one. I mean, this is a permanent change we are making to a child. Why would we allow that if we don't allow surgery? Well, permanent change is one issue, but also hormonal treatment is a different issue and can be a different issue. And whenever you look at the bill that I vetoed, there was not any grandfather clause in there. Again, I respect legislators that have a different view, but I think independently, I think of the parents, I think of the Constitution. And actually, the court, if you read the decision of the federal judge that struck it down as unconstitutional, really sided with parents as well.

But how is it treated? But how is it true? treatment. I guess that's my question. If you have a child who says, who's born a boy, I want to become a girl, he hasn't gone through puberty yet, he's say 10. Is it treatment to prevent him from going through the natural process of adolescence? How is that treatment? It seems not like treatment. It seems like something else. Well, you have to, Tucker, I hope that we'll be able to talk about some of issues. I know that... Well, this is one of the biggest issues in the country, and I think I would, every person in this room would agree that it is a central issue because these are children who are being altered permanently. And you can defend that alteration, that change, if you like, but there's really no debate about whether or not it's permanent.

Let's go to Pat's Sautz, a cut to protecting the border. Listen to this. But why wouldn't you just create a human wall of American military personnel and just kind of, fix the problem immediately. We could afford to do that. We don't want to do that for some reason. What am I missing? Well, a couple points there. First of all, the military is always an option that might be needed at some point. But I want to be able to fix it without having to be a military. How about when seven million people come in? Is that the point? I would like to be able to do it without using the military for a couple of reasons. First of all, we want to show strength with China and making sure we have a military presence in the Philippines. We want to make sure that we

show strength in Europe and that we're able to maintain a military that has a global presence. And so the military has a lot of responsibilities. Secondly, the military... May I ask you to pause? Are those responsibilities more important than protecting our own borders? I'm going to finish my answer first. The second reason is the military is trained to kill people and they're not trained in traditional law enforcement responsibility. So it's a different mission. We utilize the National Guard, but our regular military, I hope we don't have to use them the border that we can solve the problem without that.

Now go ahead. Okay, but if you have, if I described to you a nation in which seven million people had moved without permission, most of the military age males, and bringing with them they brought poison, that killed over 100,000 citizens of the country into which they were moving every single year, you would say this is an invasion, this is not only a challenge to a sovereignty,

this is proof that sovereignty doesn't exist, you don't control your country, it's not really your country, and you would say that's an emergency. In fact, you might even say that's worse than what's happening in Ukraine right now from an American perspective. And so if that doesn't meet the definition of an emergency with which you'd use the U.S. military to respond, then what does?

What's happening in the Philippines? I mean, I'm not mocking you, but what is happening in the Philippines that's more important than that? Well, the Philippines is close to Taiwan. And so that sends a signal, of course, that fact that we have our bases there, that if we have the right personnel, the right equipment there, then we send a signal to China. Don't touch the freedom of Taiwan. And I think that's important. Whoa. Well, let me.

The Philippines is close to Taiwan. on but the Mexican border's not close to Texas I guess huh? Jeez, what a dumb answer. Please play, please play the cut where I describe it as the Hindenburg right out of this. I said this. It's burst under flames. Get this carty, get this carty. It's crazy.

It's terrible. Oh, my, get out of the way, please. It's burning, bursting into flames and it's falling on the morning. fast and all the folks between this is terrible this is one of the worst catastrophes in the world oh it's 20 or 500 feet into the sky and it's a terrific drag ladies gentlemen and smoke and it's slaves now and the framers rising to the ground not quite as a mooring mass of the humanity is it too soon it's too soon that is no it's not that's exactly what i said after he made that statement oh the humanity. That happened with Mike Pence as well.

Yeah. Yeah. Pence was not good. Which cut do you have, Stu, or Pat, for the Mike Pence? I don't have my sheet in front of me, but do you have it? Do you have it, Stu? I think you're doing it somewhere. Hang on. Stool find it. Our economy has degraded. The suicide rate has jumped. Public filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased. And yet your concern is that the Ukrainians, a country most people can't find, on a map who've received tens of billions of U.S. tax dollars don't have enough tanks.

I think it's a fair question to ask, like, where's the concern for the United States in that? Well, it's not my concern. What? Whoa. I've heard that routine from you before, but that's not my concern. Wow. I'm running for President of the United States because I think this country's in a lot of trouble. I think Joe Biden is weakened America at home and abroad.

And as President of the United States, we're going to restore law and order in our cities. we're going to secure our border. We're going to get this economy move it again, and we're going to make sure that we have men and women on our courts at every level that will stand for the right to life and defend all the God-given liberties enshrined in our Constitution. Anybody that says that we can't be the leader of the free world and solve our problems at home has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on earth. We can do both.

And as President of the United States, we will secure our border, we will support our military. We will revive our economy and stand by our values. And we will also lead the world for freedom. Sorry to try to, that was one interesting moment because that was kind of the most viral moment, maybe of the entire weekend. And it's hard to tell what he was going for there

when he said it was not my concern. Because he kind of says right after that that he is going. I am going to work on the border. I am going to work on cities. I don't know what he was saying. Maybe it was like, I'm not concerned with what you're saying. or I'm not concerned that we can't do both at the same time.

All I know is it was a really bad political soundbite. He also was booed. Yeah. He was booed on stage. That is something I have not heard, especially in Iowa. The Iowa people are, I mean, it's like you take, if you take the people from Salt Lake City in Iowa and they have children, you get someone more polite than Jesus. Yeah, they were, they, I was really impressed with the crowd, actually, like, because I don't know, my impression of these, like, political moments recently has been a lot of booing and jeering and cheering and like, they weren't like that at all. Which is great. And even the moment you're talking about was, was a groan, you know, maybe. It certainly wasn't the booze that we've seen at other political events. They, they were there to actually listen to these candidates and hear what they had to say. And that's why, that's why the Hindenburg happened, because they were actually.

listening to what was said. It wasn't a political celebration. It was like a real event where they were like trying to understand the differences. And it's why you need these things moderated by people that aren't mainstream media candidates or personalities. They don't they don't ask questions that any of us care about. Right. They don't get they don't delve into issues that any people who are actually considering voting for a Republican care about. And that was the difference between this event and so many others. And Pence talked about the Abrams tanks. and so to Tucker, talk about the tanks that we've already sent over there. We're now, it's being reported.

We've already sent them F-16s that they're being trained on and that they're going to, they're just getting to the point now where they can start to use them. And apparently in August or September, they start to roll out the F-16s that we've sent them. That's unbelievable. If that's true. Mike Lee, I'm trying to get him on today. I checked my email this morning and he had emailed me several times like, ah, we got to talk about the war thing.

I think maybe we need to invoke the War Powers Act. He is very concerned that we are just checking the boxes on our way to Third World War. And I think he's right. I think he's right. It was shocking to me how this group of what you would say are traditional Republicans viewed the war in Ukraine. They were not happy about it, didn't want anything to go on, and how they looked at like, for instance, Nikki Haley, I don't think she did well. Mike Pence didn't do well. Asa did as well as, you know, at least I expected. The one that God has, I think there

were two standing ovations and they came at the end. One was Ron to say, Santis and the other one was Vivek Ramoswamy, who I think is surprising everyone who watches him. He was really good. I love him. I think he's, I haven't heard a single viewpoint of his that I disagree with yet. He's well spoken. He's really smart. He's smooth as silk.

He's everything you wanted Ted Cruz to be in 2016, but wasn't. Yes. Yes. so I and do you hear that Trump apparently mentioned him as a potential VP candidate this is after Glenn predicted on the air the other day that that's what would the year was going to happen

and then Trump actually mentioned him as candidate he's performed really well he has really well yeah so I mean and Trump hates Ron DeSantis so you know that's out and the other ones are losers so who would it be it'd be I think it could be Rick Scott or Tim Scott

Tim Scott as well yeah maybe Scott Scott as well. Tim Scott. Yeah. All right. More in a minute. Thank you, Pat. Pat Gray, Unleashed. You can hear it wherever you get your Blaze and your podcasts.

They're constantly checking my home's title to make sure that no one commits home title fraud against me. Now, home title fraud is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. We have incidents where people everywhere from like really annoying paperwork and unwinding a very complicated legal issue all the way to someone getting their home bulldo because someone had committed home title fraud, sold the home. The new buyer wasn't part of the crime. They thought they were just buying the home legally. And they went through the whole process and started bulldozing the home because they wanted to build on the property. Well, the old homeowner was just out. These things are terrible.

And you're never going to want to have to go through something like this. Home title lock helps you protect it yourself. So you don't have to go through these moments. The incident they detect activity or tampering against your home's title, they can shut it down. So you need to verify that you first aren't already a victim to this. Go to HomeTidalock.com.

We're just talking about the path to war here seems to be getting louder and louder and louder. and any of the Republicans that said, well, I think we need to strengthen Ukraine at the summit last weekend. And please watch it at Blaze TV. Anybody who said that they were for more war didn't do well, didn't do well. And then Donald Trump comes out today and says, I'm going to give them more arms than anybody else if Putin doesn't come to the table. Now, some people would say, correct me if I'm wrong.

Stu, play devil's advocate here, that you're even more war. So why is he up 30 points? Yeah, I mean, he said he would give more than Ukraine has ever received. He said they would give more arms to Ukraine than anyone has ever received. And he called Zelensky very honorable. You know, this is the type of stuff that in that in that forum, you'd think would have been booed. But then Trump comes out and does it in a separate interview this weekend. Not with Trump, though. Right. So what's the difference? What magical power does he have? It is the difference between Mike Pence is weak. He's not seen as a wartime president.

None of them are wartime candidates, I don't think. Trump is seen as a wartime president. Biden is definitely not. So when you have a wartime president that stands up and says, I'm going to give a more, you're going to come to the table or I'm going to give them more than you can possibly even imagine. I'm going to turn the war machine on. And I don't have a problem. I don't have a problem using everything we have. That's the kind of talk you give to a dictator.

And you better not be bluffing because you may have to do it. But that is the kind of talk of a dictator that gets a dictator usually back to the table if they believe you. And I think that the powers around the world, this is why they fought to get him out of there, the powers around the world believe he loves America, loves America first, and is going to defend her. And all this bull crap that's happening at the Pentagon now is over day one. And so you would want to, it's Ronald Reagan talking really tough to the Ayatollah. You know, when I get in, we're going to end this. You're going to send those people back.

All of that ended with Reagan coming in. So I think it's different in a way for Donald Trump to say that than anybody else. I think it holds credibility of negotiation. Where is anybody on the other side afraid of Joe Biden and his Pentagon? I wouldn't be. I'd be like bring it on, man. You're killing yourself. I want to talk to you about something called coin.

Coin is a new credit card. Use your credit card over and over and over again. And every time you do, a percentage of that goes to La Raza, Planned Parenthood, Black Lives Matter, Acorn, Clinton Foundation. This was the deal they made with the Occupy Wall Street people.

It gives you the freedom to support the causes that match your values, and they offer unlimited cashback rewards, world-class theft and fraud production, and the ability to align your dollars with your values because coin donates to conservative causes.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

So glad that you are here. I was out at the Summit, the Blaze Summit in Iowa that was happening on Friday. Tucker Carlson was hosting this. It's an amazing thing. It's been going on for years, but I think this is the first time. It's really the... got it right and it could be seen nationwide. No network would cover this, but we did. And 10 million viewers later, it is becoming known as the way to do debates or the way to see candidates and have

them really present themselves to you. It was awesome and game-changing. Afterwards, I sat down with Tucker Carlson for a Blaze exclusive interview with Tucker. I want to tell you, something is happening with Tucker Carlson. And I don't think anybody else is going to talk about it, so I will. We do that in 60 seconds. So you know who you are. The moment I start talking about severe and frequent pain, your ears perk up, as they always do, you've been listening to me ramble on for years about relief factor, and, you know,

it sounds nice and everything, but it's not going to work for me. I know. I was just like you. I was stubborn. Maybe you've tried a ton of different things. combat your pain and nothing has worked. Maybe you're scared that it won't work. Even more scared that it will.

Today is the day. Give relief factor a try. I did this years ago and I haven't been the same since. I could not use my hands to draw or paint or anything. I'm at a, up at the ranch, I'm holding a big painting workshop with some of the best painters in America today. And one of the guys, well, I won't tell you who because I don't I don't know if I have permission to tell you, but he is a great storyteller,

and we're teaching people how to tell stories, painters. So I having to do a bunch of sketches and things for some paintings that I would like help with, and I painted or I drew these yesterday. If you're watching the blaze, you can see them. I drew these in my notebook. I would have never been able to do that two years ago. My hands would have cramped up. The hands would have just, they would stop working.

And nothing changed it. Nothing changed it. Relief factor has. Relief factor. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 800 the number four relief. 1995, three-week quick start. Just try it for three weeks. If it's not working for you in three weeks, probably won't.

Relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief. 800, the number four relief. Relief factor, feel the difference. All right. So I, uh, I got to tell you, the press is so out of touch. This is from the New York Times. Tucker Carlson turns a Christian presidential forum into a Putin showcase.

Jesus is out. Vladimir Putin is in. Did you hear that from any candidate or anything like that from anyone on stage at the summit Friday, Stu? Anyone? Of course not. No, I did not hear that. Right. Right. In fact, everybody led with who was anti-war. I don't like Putin. Putin's not a good guy, but I don't think, you know, the Ukrainian, Ukrainian president is really a good guy either. And I went as far as saying, and I don't think at this time we're on the right side. We're the good guys. So I don't want to send my kids to a war where I can't identify the good guy. No. But they made it sound like it was nothing but a raw, raw.

for President Putin, which it wasn't. I'm going to get into some of those things here in a second, but I really wanted to spend some time on Tucker Carlson because we spent a couple of days with Tucker Carlson, and there is something happening, and this should give you great, great, great hope. He said a few years ago, sorry, a few months ago, he's Episcopalian, and he was so funny what he was telling it,

He's like, you know, I didn't even know there was a Bible. I'm an Episcopalian. I mean, we don't use that. Whatever. And he said, so I started reading it. He said, I just had the feeling a few months ago that I should start reading it. He said, so I finished the New Testament. And he said, that's amazing.

The way he was telling it is so funny. When you somebody who is actually, actually read it and is interested in reading it, all of the things that. all of the things that they find that they discover. He's like, this is the greatest. It's such a great story. Why are we hiding this? And then he started on the Old Testament, and he is in Leviticus now, which is also fun. But he's actually enjoying it.

In talking to him over a few days, I just want you to know God is using him. There is something different about Tucker Carlson. And it, you know, we were not the best of friends 10 years ago. We didn't really know each other. We respected each other for what we had done, but we disagreed on a lot of stuff. And vehemently, 10 years ago on a lot of stuff, that has changed. And I think it became because I started really. watching him then in Fox News. He started really listening to me. And we heard the core principles

behind what we believe. And God is using him. He has moved on him greatly. Please add Tucker to your prayers. Something really good is going to come of what Tucker is doing, I think. He gets it, Let's say I met with four people in the last three weeks and I've met probably 15,000 people. And I've met with four that I think absolutely 100% get it. They know it from all of its angles. Tucker is one of them. He was very, very clear on things. when he was asking, I think it was

Nikki Haley, he said, hey, did we blow up the Nord Stream? That's something that I would ask. But I wondered, as he asked it, if I were Nikki Haley, if I were, if I would answer that as a presidential candidate just because of the ramifications of that

as a presidential candidate. So I asked Tucker on this. Here's what he said in our one-on-one interview, cut one. You said something that I absolutely believe, and And it is crazy to say it now. I think we absolutely blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. Of course we did. Yeah. Absolutely did. Well, yeah. And I think it's a big deal. I mean, on many levels, it was an environmental catastrophe. I mean, like a profound environmental catastrophe.

It's also an act of vandalism, which I'm against. You should build things, not destroy them. Yeah. It was also an attack on infrastructure. And more than anything, it was an attack on our closest NATO ally, Germany, which used that pipeline to fund its entire manufacturing center. We just attacked our ally. I know. This is insane behavior. And I don't know why no one's been held accountable. Yes, we did it, whether it was through Poland or Norway.

A NATO nation did it with our assistance and approval. And like, everyone knows it and everyone's afraid to say so. Why? I don't know why. Can you say that? I just did. Well, no, but I mean, I'm unemployed. I can see whatever I want.

I mean, as a, I mean, what are the ramifications of, thank God, that Russia has not retaliated. This is the biggest, this is the worst act of war I have ever seen us make. Right? So, and it's crazy, it's the kind of like late stage hubris on display with people. It's all of it.

It really is. Like, I'm God, I can do whatever I want. There are no consequences. All of it. The rules don't apply to me. And when you adopt that attitude, when there's no humility at all or long-term thinking.

This is, you know, people who don't have, like, a stake in the future, like 80-year-old presidents, they just don't care. And when they start to behave like that, you can actually wreck the whole thing. You can take a country down doing stuff like that, in my opinion. I talked to him about the media, you know, completely determined to suppress the truth. Listen. And I really thought, Tucker, and I don't know if you were, if there was a turning point with you, there was with me when I realized, oh my gosh, none of these people in the media actually care or are intellectually curious at all.

They're just typing away, doing their thing, reading a prompter. Nobody is actually saying. Because I really thought if I could make the case, which you did every night you were making a great solid case. And if you are intellectually curious and you disagree, you go, well, that can't be right. Let me look it up. Let's do some investigative work on what he just said. They don't do that. And that shocked me. Shocked me. But then you have to wonder why. So it's like no one in Washington or in the media is ever triggered, is ever outraged by a lie. So I can come out here and tell the most preposterous lies, say the most lunatic things. You know, climate, you're driving

a suburban is causing more hurricanes than Florida. they say that every fall. And it's like insane. There's like there's no evidence that's true. There's a ton that's evidence that's not true. Nobody cares. But when you say something true that's actually true, people become hysterical and call

for your murder and certainly call for your deplatforming. So then what conclusion do you reach? The media are completely determined to suppress the truth. The true things that matter. That's kind of why they exist.

are the gatekeepers that prevent people from saying out loud the truest things. Cut three, here's Tucker on what he saw at the summit and the candidates that I found surprising. When you got up this morning, did you imagine that you would see not one, but two presidential candidates light themselves on fire in front of you? When I get up this morning, as every morning when I wake up, I don't imagine anything. I haven't had a drink in 21 years, and every single morning I wake up hungover. I feel like I've had a cortostole and a six-pack of some rotten beer. I just feel horrible in the morning, every morning. And so I put my pants on a shuffle downstairs and got coffee and blah.

So I didn't think about it at all until I was seated across from Senator Scott, who was the first. And I really like, I mean, I like them all. Like, politicians are super charming. Like, they're good with people. That's why they're in this business. So I like all of them. But no, I do think that Republican voters or the system controlled by the Republican Party doesn't ask a lot of a lot of its candidates. It's like enough to say certain, to repeat certain bumper stickers from the 80s, peace or strength, lower taxes, whatever.

I'm for all that, by the way. But they don't, like, no one ever gets pushed very hard. Right. And so it doesn't take much. I was certainly not acting in a hostility, but if you're just like, well, what do you mean? Uh,

I can answer the question. And then people were like, oh, you're so mean, really? You're trying to run my country. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Like, I live here. I have four children.

I can't go anywhere. Like, what do you mean? You're trying to run the country and you're mad that I'm like trying to get you to be more precise about your answers that you should have memorized already? Right. Because you're presuming to represent me?

Last cut, this is Tucker in my special on Blaze TV. You can watch it. It's about, I think it's just over an hour. Tucker and I just having a one-on-one. He went on to talk about Mike Pence, what he was most surprised about with Mike Pence. Listen to this. The Mike Pence religious freedom stuff, I have to say, you know, spun me up. It did.

It did. You can't be like, well, I'm for religious freedom except for like, priests who say things the government disagrees, but they can be arrested. Huh? You know, and it'd be fine. If it was almost any, and I'm holding him to an unfair standard, but if you hold yourself up as a Christian leader who's in favor of religious freedom, well, then you kind of have to defend religious freedom, whether it's popular or not. It's not, no freedom. Nobody has to defend my right to say,

chocolate's delicious. Yeah. Okay. If it's popular, you have to, and I don't think even our side understands that. I stand. I was when Bill Maher said, you know, I think the Saudi or the hijackers were brave, braver than our five pirate fire pilots. I disagreed with that 100%. But when ABC fired him, I stood up for him and said, what part of politically incorrect don't you understand? Make sure you go to blazemedia summit.com. Blaze Media Summit.com. You can see the whole summit. It is so well worth it when you're watching.

If you're looking for the right candidate, I think this is the best format I've ever seen. And I've heard that everywhere, including social media. And in person, everybody was like, I've been to these things before. I mean, I'll be honest with you. Ricky said, would you please not be a grump? She's my executive television producer. She said, would you please not be a total?

Grump, you know, when you get on the air and I'm like, no, I just want you to know, I don't want to be here. This is the last place anyone should want to be on a Friday, spending all day with a bunch of politicians listening to them campaign, but I'm a professional. But I actually, by the end of the day, had really enjoyed it because I learned so much. Make sure you go to blazemediasummit.com and watch it.

So reading some of the reviews of what happened is amazing to say the truth. to say the least. The summit that you saw, hopefully, on Friday or can see, I think changed everything, just absolutely everything on the way these things are done.

We've always gone to mainstream media. This isn't mainstream media. And the difference was remarkable. Would you agree with that, Stee? Oh, my God. Yes, 100%. It was a totally different experience. And I think voters, potential voters, people on the right that are interested in the differences

between these candidates actually got something out of it, which is totally different than every other campaign event that I've seen over the past 20 years. Like it was like you got to see people pressed on not the differences between, you know, conservatives and, you know, the left or what the mainstream media wants them to be or some dumb scandal that the left has been obsessing about for years and years and years and years and years. And what was tweeted by this candidate and said, what you got was a discussion about the differences between conservatives, which is, of course, how everyone in a primary needs, that's the information you need to make your decision.

Done by a group of people, and in this case, Tucker Carlson on stage, that, that, that, that are not fans of the status quo. You know, it was it was answering what the people, I think, want to know. The people who go to vote for Republican time and time again and are always let down when they go to Washington. And I thought it was fantastic. Let me give you some comments. Graham Allen said, congratulations to the blaze for an amazing job showing the country the future. What a masterclass in showing that mainstream media is dying and needs to be put out of its misery.

Bravo to all who made it possible. Benny Johnson, massive shout out to the Blaze for producing dominant, entertaining, and newsbreaking event in Iowa. The Fox News Matrix is broken. The energy shift in the GOP has been tectonic. Grassroots populace and America's first philosophy owned the movement now. Bravo Blaze TV.

The delicious irony that Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson, who were both treated so disrespectfully at Fox, decimated the GOP field, and broke more news in one day together than the last 20 Fox debates combined. It should not be lost here. This is an epic media revenge arc story. I don't look at it as revenge, but I just look at it as the truth. Let's see.

The Blaze put on a master class on how to defeat the mainstream media by becoming more powerful than them. Incredible performance by the entire Blaze team. Anyway, it goes on and on and on. It is really, truly remarkable. Listen to this email. How much time do I have, Sarah? I was traveling through the United States on a 3,000-mile motorcycle trip last week.

This is the Glenn Beck program, Stu. Just thought we should say goodbye to my son, Raff, who is on his way home to pack and then on his way to college. And I guess I will see you at college. This will be the last time I see you. Well, yeah, you won't see me probably till either Abilene Christian when we come down and we will, Jason's home team.

Okay. All right. He has, he's just been brought on as a assistant to the offensive coordinator. Yeah, I'll be, I'm like his right hand man. So like the assistant to the offensive coordinator. So when he's calling the plays, I'm going to be like right behind him, helping writing down everything he says with the plays. And then in between, I'm getting everything ready,

seeing what worked best and what can we do. So is there any trepidation of doing this, seeing that you're my son? and I don't mean politically like we usually mean it. I mean like there's no sports in your blood at all with me. No, you've never thrown a ball with me. I think it was grandpa. I have thrown a ball, but not very well. That's what you want to call it.

But no, yeah, it's definitely interesting because, I mean, we're just not very sporty. You're just more of the arts and whatnot. And so this has been a bit of almost like an uphill challenge without being able to know a whole lot and having to hit the ground running or sprinting. Yeah. And yet it's happening. I don't know how it happens to because you weren't even around. Remember I talked to when he was young. I'm like, you're going to football or something. Because there's not a chance. And what is he going to end up being like with a dad like me? And he just did it himself. Yeah. It's incredible. That's an amazing. It's an amazing story. I don't know. know, Rafe, what it feels like that you've already accomplished more athletically than your dad and you just graduated high school. But that is pretty, it's a pretty impressive. I should point out actually, sorry, I should point out, I did it in two years. You had all four and I did it in two.

No, I've had 59. And that still doesn't help. I think it's a good, it's an interesting summary of your parenting, Rafe, for all these years that he described it as a uphill battle. So that's what you've brought to his life, not even keeping the ground flat, but actually made it an uphill climb. Well, you know what? I am, I am thrilled because my son is very well rounded, very well rounded. And he can now do the football thing, which I can't do. But he can also, you know, do other things, I guess, that I taught him. No, I mean, you know, the one thing that I am really proud of, is all of my kids have a very eclectic look at almost everything and could do almost anything.

I mean, your musical taste? Who are your favorites? Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin. So any of like the rat pack pretty much, but then it also goes over to like Luciano Pavarotti and then also just ACDCs my favorite rock band of all the time. So I mean, I'll listen to anything except for death metal,

pretty much. Yeah, that's a good thing. So let me ask, and you don't have to get into this, you've had a rough couple of years personally. Yeah. What got you through it and now to a point to where you're actually not like freaking out? Oh, I'm freaking out. Oh, are you?

What got you through that to a point to where now you are on your way to college and have confidence in what you're going to do? I guess just keeping one foot in front of the other not looking over at the big picture stuff and just it's just one day at a time It's not going to be I know I know it was never going to be easy, but Instead of looking at like hey, I need to get to here and this these are all the challenges I need to get through it It's just this is the challenge for today This is the next challenge and just keep letting them come in as they come on and go You and I both have talked for a since you were a little about

being a leader of men and that you always said I don't want to be a leader of men no I said I wanted to be Sam from the from the book of Mormon and uh is that still on uh and uh and that's because of what you saw happen with us with you yeah yeah um and let me ask you you find it ironic that as a coach you'll be a leader of men I guess kind of just a little bit that it's uh I can't hear him go ahead lost his mic i guess kind of but it's um i don't know it's more exciting now because i've had time to develop into mature and during that time i've just been able to i guess more accept it and more i don't know i love working with people i don't see it as leading people i see it as helping others and helping those around me you're going to do well my son i don't

have any parting words for you other than i love you and uh take care on your trip and i'll see you there a couple of weeks okay I love you see buddy weird sorry doing that on the air here but yeah everybody has to do it with our son at some point and he's going off to catch a plane here we were talking about the blaze media summit and what is happening and I was telling you about a guy who was riding a motorcycle across the country and it happened and he was watching, you know, the tweets and listening to it. And he said he stopped outside of a Navajo Indian reservation. And it was a small bed and breakfast.

And the guys were talking about it in the morning. And he said, I about spit my orange juice out. The coverage wasn't just going viral on social media. It was literally everywhere, even in this little small town and breakfast. But it was also, and this is the important part for the Republicans to hear. It was also very relatable. What Tucker was bringing out of these interviews was exactly what I was seeing in the small towns and even the Indian reservations. When Tucker told Pence that America, the America we remember is now collapsing and asked why Ukraine is somehow more important.

I remember the conversation I had with a Navajo Nation mom of six. She had moved off the reservation due to the crime and the rampant meth problem. Then I spoke to a woman in her 60s and another small town that lamented that the days where her small town was full of job opportunities and promise were over. She told the stories of the old factory and how crime didn't even really exist. Then came the layoffs. Then came the shuttered businesses. Then came the epidemic of meth and drugs from the southern border. This is the America the elitist left wants us to pretend does not exist.

But it is also the America. that was talking about debating and sharing clips from blaze media summit i spoke to them the media should be terrified the mainstream media is over and i think that's what we i think that's what we felt and anybody who is watching it it was really strange you know i started doing the uh blaze in what 2010 or 11 and uh it's finally now hitting the the place to where the mainstream media, Fox is, people know what Fox is now. And it's hit a tipping point. This is really, really good for America, really good for America.

Because I think you got an honest debate. Yeah, I mean, last week. Competition is always good, right? It's always something that's, it's important. And it's good to see that there's some competition out there. and not only just to other, you know, networks that might call themselves, you know, conservative, but also just to the fact that the mainstream media has dominated this part of the structure of our country for a really long time. You know, if you think about a primary, you're trying to make a decision in a primary, right?

One of the big issues is Ukraine, right? You have a couple different versions of that argument. You have an argument where, you know, where Tucker has kind of been the main advocate of the skeptical argument toward funding Ukraine. And if you go back, I think to, if you go back to like, for example, 2014, Russia invades Crimea, the conversation on the right was largely about how Barack Obama abandoned his own red line and did nothing about it, right? And in that period of that decade, that conversation has really kind of changed where there's still a lot of people who kind of want that more healthy, you know, version, hawkish defense, if you will. and then there's a but I think there's far more people now specifically in the primary voter group that are really skeptical about any of this and getting involved at any of it and if if these candidates had gone on to i don't know meet the press or some other you know left wing media organization and and this conversation would have come up it would have been

think of someone who's hawkish someone like mike pence would have been asked a question of why do uh why do other why do other people people that are crazy in your party disagree with Joe Biden's position on this, right? That's essentially the tone of the questioning that would hit Mike Pence. Correct. He would be asked to essentially bash his other candidates by saying why they're so wrong. Instead, this debate gave voice to that other, more skeptical view, and pressed those candidates on that. So we were able to learn the difference between them.

We were able to see the nuances in their positions. We were able to see if they could defend those positions. And Americans who are voting in these primaries actually got something out of it because of that. And we also got a chance to see the different sides of them as well. I mean, you know, we didn't see, oh, I want to know the softer side. What does he read to his children? I didn't care about any of that. But after Ramoswami came off, he sat down with me while we were waiting for DeSantis to come on.

And I said to him, I said, you just said, and I've heard. you know, you were the strongest so far, saying that you would just shut down the Department of Justice, the FBI. I said, how are you going to do that? He said, I'm coming in with a clear-sighted view of shutting down most of the administrative state. First of all, I'm going to do it on strong legal authority. So I'm a unique combination. I like to brag a lot. I don't like to brag a lot, but I'm a CEO. But I also studied the Constitution deeply. And the Supreme Court rights, now shares my view of the Constitution. The U.S. President already has statutory authority, the Presidential Reorganization Act of 1977, says you can shut down redundant agencies.

Well, when I look at what the DEA does and what the U.S. Marshals do, there's my legal justification for shutting down the FBI without asking Congress for permission or forgiveness. Civil service protections protect against individual firings for employees. for supposedly political reasons. They don't apply to mass layoffs, and mass layoffs are exactly what I'm bringing to Washington, D.C. Holy cow is that strong. And I think it might be things like that

that Donald Trump might have heard from the summit that made him come out this weekend and say, you know, Ramoswami might be a good vice presidential candidate. He said, I'm considering Tim Scott or Vivek. And I think Vivek would make a great vice president because he comes at it as a 30, what is he, 37, yeah, 37 year old man who is very accomplished and gets it quickly. It's interesting too. One thing strategically from him that you're not seeing from a lot of the other candidates is boldness.

I think that when you're at a guy who doesn't, you know, no one knows who Vivek Ramoswamy was on a national level. other than the fact he's been on this show a bunch of times. I know he'd been in Tucker a bunch of times. And he had some two conservatives that really follow the stuff. He had some notoriety. But like when you're coming into a race like this and you're at 1 and 2% to start, which of course would where he was, you think being bold would be the strategy, right?

Find out what your principle is what do you really believe? How can you accomplish that? And don't be scared to say it. And I think you see some of these other candidates who have been floundering around two and three percent playing a pretty pretty conservative if you will game like not really coming out and saying much of anything i i don't know if they're assuming they're thinking maybe don't trump will flame out and that's when they're going to turn their engines on but man how many times has that been predicted it's it's a it's a fascinating thing to watch where rama swami's been

the one guy you could say okay you listen to him and and you might i mean i know a lot of people have constitutional uh doubts as to whether he could actually get these things done in the way he's talking about it. But at least he's putting ideas out there that are innovative and bold and give people something to talk about where a lot of these candidates don't seem to be doing that at all. Let me tell you about our sponsor this F hour. It's preborn. One of these days, maybe in our lifetimes, it is possible you will see the abolition of abortion. And the only way that really happens is if we change people's hearts. The history books of our future are going to write around about the generational trauma, the breakdown of families, the destruction of basic morality, and how one day it all

came to an end. But for now, we're still in that historic era. The ministry of preborn stands every day for the helpless among us, but they don't only mean the helpless babies, the unborn. They provide free ultrasounds and postnatal help for up to two years for the moms. This is what is moving the needle tremendously. When an expecting mother comes in and she hears the heartbeat for the first time, chances are she's going to choose life for that baby. When you can be a part of that, it is so satisfying. Someday when people ask, you know, what did you do when all this was going on or your grandkids? Your grandkids can say, my grandparents help save a life through preborn. It helped save many lives and it turned the tables.

It turned the tide. One ultrasound is 28 bucks. Dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby. Pound 250, keyword baby. I don't think there's anything that could bring more blessings on our heads than saving God's children. And that means the moms too. Preborn.com slash Beck.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I want to just touch base on something quickly. The White House said, no, no, this was a mistake. And maybe it was. But it was an important mistake from Kabbala Harris. Here's what she said over the weekend in Baltimore. about the inflation reduction act.

Listen, cut nine. When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduced population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water. Now, to be fair, they say that she meant reduce pollution, not population. But I think there's some others that might disagree with that. However, let's put into perspective as well. She's talking about the inflation reduction act. So she's talking about spending more on things the government is going to do.

And that somehow or another, that's going to reduce inflation. No, that whole thing was a lie. And an important thing to point out about the population in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor, this half hour, it is Goldline. Great article in their weekly news section. By the way, go to their weekend review. You'll get an email if you want it,

but you can just go to their website and just look for news. This is the email was titled, The American Banking Landscape is on the cusp of a seismic shift. Expect more pain to come. Even if you haven't subscribed to their free newsletter, market updates, you should call them and ask them, just get this or go to their website and look in their news section. In the article, they suggest that bank failures may not be over. What? Half of the country's banks will likely be swallowed up by competitors. Of course they will,

until there's only four or five banks that are left, and those banks will be the banks of the Federal Reserve. That's what's happening. Maybe it's time to take charge of your own bank. Give the folks over at Goldline a chance to find out how to protect your money using precious metals. Goldline has

a special this week on their quarter ounce gold Mayflower coins with every 20 of their quarter ounce gold Mayflower coins acquired. You're going to receive at no additional charge, 250 one ounce copper rounds. You don't want to wait, make your call right now,

call 800 or sorry 866 Gold Line 866 Gold Line. They're waiting for your call right now. 866 Gold Line or Goldline.com. All right, so I want to start with this Kamala Harris and play the clip again and again very in a very credible way and I mean this sincerely in a very credible way the White House has come out and said she meant pollution, not population and that is

probably true. So listen to me. When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water. Okay. I think you could make the case with all of the things that we point out in dark future that she may have meant pollution in this speech, but they actually do intend on reducing the population. And I say that because only a moron would think that you could cut out the traditions of farming, go to an entirely new system of farming from seed to table and exclude fertilizer and expect people not to starve. I'm telling you billions. Billions. of people are at risk because of what just what they're doing with food. Now add energy. When you have energy and you are getting rid of all of your fossil fuels and you don't have anything to replace it. And what you do have to replace it is nuclear power plants and you're shutting those down

and you're shutting down and dismantling your coal fire plants, people are going to freeze to death. It's true. Now, let me ask you, for anyone who is upset at me saying, you know, it might be correct that she meant pollution, but when she said reduce population, that also does reduce all of our CO2s, you have a smaller footprint if you have smaller human population. If you're really upset about that, then help me out on two stories. Canadian man claims he was fired from his job as a fuel supplier when he helped rescue a desperate moose calf from a potential black bear attack. Mark Skage, he worked for AVE FD Petroleum. He was driving back from a job site when he saw an abandoned moose wandering on the side of the road in

British Columbia. He pulled over, hopped out of his vehicle. The calf attempted to climb into his truck as he noticed a bear was stalking just a few days. This animal was just a few days old. There was a black bear 50 yards away just waiting. I made the decision at the time. She kept trying to climb into my work truck that I just couldn't leave her there. So I stuck her in the passenger side and drove her to town to get her some help. Canadian man said he was fired from his job because he saved the moose calf. His decision to bring the calf in his truck came from his background as an outdoorsman. He knew what he was doing was against the law.

I just couldn't do it in my heart. People can say all they want. But I know as an outdoorsman, we talk about predator control. Black bears are the number one predator for those calves. So I just thought, well, I can't take care of the predator, but maybe I can try to help out this. one little calf. So it's against the law. It's against the law.

Hmm. Why is it against the law to get rid of the predators? Because if you get rid of the predators, then the prey has overpopulation. You want to make sure there's no overpopulation. Now, they care deeply about the bear, and they care deeply about the bear. the balance. Well, then maybe isn't this the same thing. Also from Canada. Toronto, the 47-year-old

that wrestled with an eating disorder, anorexia, for decades, says she has a warped relationship with her body since age eight. These days, she weighs 92 pounds and may go days without eating solid food. She says she is too weak to carry groceries home without stopping for breaks. Every day is hell, she says, I'm so tired, I'm done, I've tried everything. I feel like I've lived my life. An expansion of the criteria for medically assisted death comes into force in March 2024 will allow Canadians like Polly whose sole underlying condition is mental illness to choose medically assisted death. Canada legalized assisted death in 2016 for people with terminal illness and then expanded it to 2021 with people with incurable, but not terminal conditions. The legal change,

participated by court ruling that struck down prohibitions on helping people die. The new mental health provision will make Canada one of the most expansive countries in the world when it comes to medical assistance in dying. Proponents of assisted death, excuse me, which is still a novel concept in many parts of the world, says it's an issue of personal autonomy. But six disability rights and religious advocates told Reuters that the pace of the plan changes to the assisted death framework in Canada brings additional risks of people opting for maid, medical assistance in dying maid, because they're unable to access social service. the lack which could exacerbate their suffering. So are we reducing the population?

We're not. I mean, we've got to make sure that we keep that herd reduced, you know, in Canada. You don't want to get rid of the predators. Why? Because the ranchers, the rangers, they know, even if it is compassionate, you cannot save that calf from being eaten by the bear because life goes on. It must. The survival of the fittest is important. Isn't that the same with Maid?

The survival of the fittest? Except this time it's done with compassion. Look, they can't make their way. They're unhappy. They're a burden on the rest of society. I mean, they die out anyway. Shouldn't we just help them along? Maybe that's me, but that's the way I read all of these.

And I read them this way in a way that I probably wouldn't have 20 years ago. But I read them that way because I never thought the world would go back and start looking at the values and the principles that set the entire world on fire back in the 1930s. these in these crazy Marxist communist fascistic goals where man has become God and man can tell the farmer exactly how to farm they're experts even though they've never had their hands in the soil like they have they can't manage the farm from Moscow because they're not even anywhere close to it Yet that's what we're doing with our farmers. I never thought we'd turn back to a time where experimental surgery that permanently mutilates children like they did in the 1930s and 40s, I never thought that the medical associations of America would do that.

I really thought in America they had learned first from their mass sterilization on picking which people should be allowed to marry and to breed. That's why you have a marriage license, you know, right? That was a progressive thing to make sure that we licensed people because you just didn't want any of your cattle breeding with any other cattle. That's why you have a blood test. we've got to make sure. Technology is just catching up with this insane eugenics idea. So I just never saw it coming. But now that I know, and I know because I did my homework,

and I put it in the book Dark Future, now that I know, when I see something like the 47-year-old that's 92 pounds and they're offering now made medical assistance in dying, I wonder if this isn't the same old, same old. And when I see that a man goes to jail for having the compassion to put a bull moose, a baby into his truck, so it's not eaten by a bear,

I mean, I understand the predator thing, but when I see that the same people that are, supposedly saying let's kill them for compassion. They're really all about the survival of the fittest. I wonder if Kamala Harris wasn't actually telling the truth, whether she knows it or not, that we are looking at a reduction of the population. Back in just a minute. Our sponsor, this half hour is Tunnel for Towers.

these people are absolutely the best. I really like them. And I don't want you to take my word for it. Look, charity is a very personal thing. And you have to be, this has to be something that means something to you, that you want to help. And also that you do your own homework and say, you know, how much of the dollar goes to what they say they're helping. The best way to look at charity is as an investment. How much of that dollar.

is going to what I care about. I think it's 96 cents on every dollar from tunnel to towers. Some insanely high percentage goes to tunnel, goes to who they say they're serving. And those are the heroes. Those are the heroes of the police department. Those are the heroes of the fire department. Those are the heroes of our wounded and veterans that never came home.

They take care of the heroes. And when there is a real serious problem, when somebody loses their life and they have a, family at home, they do their best to take care of all of these guys to make sure that their families are taken care of and they take away the mortgage. They give them the mortgage and pick it up themselves. Can you help do this? The foundation has helped hundreds of first responder families all across America by removing

the burden of a mortgage. And thanks to supporters like you, they're on a mission and it takes $11 a month from you to be able to make this mission happen. Donate to tunnel to towers at t2t.org.

And you can get the Blaze subscribers only interview with me and Tucker Carlson that went on for about an hour. Were you still there, Stu, when that took place? Yeah, I was in the back room watching it on the monitors, but I did. I watched the whole thing.

It was really interesting. And, you know, he's an interesting guy in that he, I don't know. He comes off as in person, at least, is really, like, happy and joyful and seems to, seems to just like his life and existence. He does. Yeah, it's not the way he's portrayed in the media. He's portrayed as his dour guy. He's very likable. You know, one of the first things he said was, I judge a man by his family.

If your family doesn't love you and you're not in touch with your family. family. I don't think you're much of an individual. You've kind of missed the main point of certain things. And I immediately thought, well, I wonder what he thinks of Joe Biden and his family. That's, yeah, that's, there's a lot to learn there from, from that particular situation. I think, too, like, looking at the, the event itself, and I, I, I, I stop and wonder if anyone's going to want to do another one of them because there were some moments where people really sunk their candidacy if there was any candidacy there. I hasten, you know, to say that about Asa Hutchinson because I just, you know, what are you sinking? The Hindenburg certainly wasn't

far off the ground when it collapsed. That's for sure. But I mean, you wonder, though, if candidates are going to want to do these forums like this. I mean, in some ways, it's more beneficial for them to go up and just go to a mainstream media interview where, of course, they will look rational to conservatives in comparison to that host, where this was a situation where they had to be really compared with each other, and they had to be compared with the differences within the movement, which of course is the only interesting thing to voters who are voting in a Republican primary. No one cares if, you know, what you think about Trump's January 6th tweeting, right? Like, that's what the media will ask people about.

this was a totally different way of covering one of these things. And I, A, wonder if candidates are going to want to do it again because it was hard. It wasn't easy. And secondly, I think if people look at this as conservatives and look at the value of this, I hope that will convince them to come on board with Blaze TV, as you were just mentioning. Because it really, you can see the difference when you have a weapon like this in your arsenal, like a network that will go there, cover this stuff fairly. actually give you the types of questions you want answered,

that makes a huge difference when you're trying to actually figure out who is the best candidate in an 11 candidate field. You really learned something on Friday, and I think it was a real difference maker. I will tell you that we tried really hard to be fair. And, well, with an exception to me with Asa, we don't, you're, I mean, I questioned before he got on stage, why is this man here?

Anybody see his picture on a milk carton? Here he is. You should come pick him up because I don't know why he's... He hadn't been seen for a while. Probably for good reason. At least he showed up, though. He took his swing.

Yeah, he did. He took a shot and it didn't work. And that happens. It's hard to become president of the United States. So, I mean, I don't think he was going anywhere before this. And he's not going anywhere after it. So nothing. really venture, nothing lost.

Yes. So let me ask you, Stu. I saw two candidates without naming names. I saw two candidates who I thought, that's a president. That's somebody ready to be president. How many did you see? Yeah, I'd say two. I might

I mean, I think if you're looking for people who performed well there, I thought there were, I thought maybe three performed well. You know, I think there was two catastrophes. and I thought, you know, the other candidates either did okay or what you'd expect from them or maybe improve their standing a little bit. And that's, you know, that's all you can know, get you can hope for. But there were two that I think got a standing ovation and they were well deserved.

And we'll talk about those two. Coming up in just a second. The Glenn Back Program. Friends, I want you to switch. I want you to switch right now. Sure, all of your children may be switching. And you'll be saying, Bobby, why are you wearing a dress?

We, sorry for this personal note, but we could not have done the Blaze Summit without NELCO Media. They are a valued partner at Blaze Media and they helped with the Iowa Summit. I mean, they did something, honestly. We said to them, we're one mixing board short. Could we, could we borrow one? They were like, it's already in the truck ready to go.

Take it. I mean, they were really amazing and we couldn't have done it without them. So thank you, NELCO Media. Stu, we were talking about the politics of what happened on Friday at the. the Blaze Media Summit. And it is something that has happened in Iowa all the time. The Family Leadership Council puts this on, but it's usually not covered by the mainstream media like we covered it.

And it became the, I believe it was the number one trend on Friday. And I'm still seeing newspaper reports and everything else about it today. But we haven't even. even had a chance to talk. We left when our separate ways shortly after the summit and really having a chance to decompress from it. Can we go through all of the candidates that were there? And I'd like to hear your opinion on did they help or hurt themselves? And what was the most important thing we learned? Sure. We started with Asa Hutchinson. I think we can. No, no, no. Let's

start at the beginning. Let's start with Tim Scott. He was the first one. That's right. Oh yeah. Tim Scott was first. That's right. Tim Scott was first. And Scott is an interesting candidate. I generally like Tim Scott. I think he's, uh, he's with 100% certainty, the best senator from South Carolina that we have, uh, by a very, very large margin. Large margin. It's almost like, it's almost like Biden is in the other seat. I can't remember who is. But anyway, go ahead. Uh, you know, he was, he, you know, he came in. He has a more hawkish view on Ukraine, which he was pressed on significantly by Tucker during the interview. Didn't like it.

The one thing you'd say about Tim Scott is that he has a, he has sort of a quirky energy to him. Like he, I think some people really like it. It shows a lot of optimism. He has that sort of, that, that, I don't know, that vibe, right? Like he's out, he's, he's not flustered by stuff. He doesn't, he defended himself and defended his viewpoints. It was, he had a little bit.

of a stylistic thing where he was starting the interview with Tucker, he'd get the question, and then he'd sort of just stand up and address the crowd and walk around, which I thought was, you know, a little odd. It didn't, you know, he was the first one to go. You know, so it was a little bit strange. Generally speaking, I don't think he helped or hurt himself. I thought he did basically what I thought he would do. He wasn't a standout performer, but I don't think he didn't blow himself up like some of the other candidates on stage by any means. I thought he was fine, but didn't improve his standing all that much. So I thought he helped himself only because he improved his stature of being there among the other presidential candidates and reminding them on what his strong points are.

And his strong points are belief in tomorrow. And he has evidence to back that up. And a strong defender of America in a very positive sort of way. But he's not revolutionary enough for the times. And he's also, I don't think he's ready to be president yet. But I think he helped himself a little bit. Asa Hutchinson. Asa Hutchinson suboptimal was the word I used to describe the Asa Hutchinson performance.

Go far enough. It may be a little understated. That was, look, Asa Hutchinson was already really out of step with the, Republican voters. He has at zero or 1% in almost every poll. So I think you can defend his appearance there. Right. Like there are other people who, you know, like Will Hurd didn't show up. I don't know if he was invited. But like he's in the race. He's at zero percent. Why wouldn't you go there and try to do something and move the needle? You know, if you're, I don't know, Doug Bergum or there's a bunch of these guys that are in the race that didn't show or I don't

know, maybe they weren't invited, but are really at the bottom of the scale and didn't wind up doing this. Asa Hutchinson showed up. He made his case. His case is just one that the Republican voters don't like. They really do think that the transgendering of children and irreversible surgeries and all that stuff is a problem. Asa was like it didn't seem to think it was a problem. He's very out of step. And I think when people really realized that and saw it in front of them, it was as you pointed out, a very Hindenburg-like event where. Yeah, I was just going to say, Let me, let me, let me describe it by playing cut 17. Asa Hutchinson, listen.

It's burst into flame. Get this carty. Get this carty. It's frightening. It's crazy terrible. Oh, my. Get out of the way, please. It's burning, bursting in the flames, and it's falling on the morning fast.

And all the folks between this is terrible. This is the worst of the worst catastrophes in the world. Oh, it's just, like, 20, oh, four, 500 feet into the sky. It's a terrific thanks, ladies gentlemen, the smoke and it's slaves now, and the framers striking to the ground. It's not quite to the mooring mass of the humanity. It was bad. Now, luckily, nobody was hurt except those who were trying to finance his campaign. They're in serious condition today.

Then we go to Mike Pence, and Mike Pence should have done very well. This is a group of religious people, and it's... It's, you know, it's, it's a religious group holding their conference. We want to hear from you. This is Mike Pence's, this is his, these are his people. Yeah. And of course, he definitely should have been there. These are his people.

And, you know, he, there was a back and forth about religious freedom with Tucker Carlson, in which Tucker Carlson was talking about some persecuted people, religious people in, in Ukraine that have been allegedly persecuted. by the government of Ukraine. The disagreement there was stark because Tucker kept coming after him on this. And Pence basically said he talked to people or he said he talked to a person on the ground in Ukraine who said it wasn't happening. So he wasn't basically concerned about it. You know, there has been reporting on this, you know, of course, a war zone.

It's always hard to know exactly what's going on. But that was uncomfortable. And then it went to the actual Ukraine war where Pence is pretty hawkish. And that part of it, most of it I thought was interesting because Pence didn't back down. They sort of had a disagreement. He didn't try to worm his way out of it. He stood up and basically said, yeah, I'm a real hawk on Ukraine. This is very much in our interest.

We should be spending this money. We should be doing more. And it felt like something that may have happened 10 years ago in a Republican debate, where Tucker was pushing him from the other side. They went back and forth. At one point, he had a real gaff, which Tucker was talking about, hey, American cities are aflames here,

in flames here, and you're worried about Ukraine, why? And he said, that's not my concern. We played the clip earlier. Cut 17, please. Cut 17. Our economy has degraded. The suicide rate has jumped. Public filth and disorder and crime

have exponentially increased. And yet, your concern is that the Ukrainians, a country most people can't find on a map who've received tens of billions of U.S. tax dollars don't have enough tanks. I think it's a fair question to ask, like, where's the concern for the United States in that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cut 17, please. And it's right. It's crazy terrible.

Oh, my. Get out of the way. Okay, stop. Because he responded to that question is, that's not my concern. And it sounded like he wasn't concerned for American cities. If you listen to the context of his answer, it's quite clear that's not exactly what he meant. But, I mean, he's like Kamala Harris saying the population thing. You can't make mistakes like that.

So that was a catastrophe for Pence, I thought. Okay. So Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley is about what I expected. I thought she was kind of neutral. The problem with Nikki Haley is he sounds like the candidate that would have been great in 2012. She was, and she was. And she didn't, to be fair, she didn't get a chance to talk about foreign policy, which is the one thing I would have wanted her to talk about.

But she talked about, you know, pretty much everything else I thought, except for that, which I thought was an odd choice. But for Tucker, but she just sounded out of touch with what we're truly facing today. Do you think that's too harsh? It wasn't the sense I got. Now, to be fair, we had just seen Mike Pence, Asa Hutchinson, and Tim Scott. And as we said, Tim Scott would thought was okay, you know, but then we had two sort of catastrophes in a row with Asa Hutchinson of Pence. So then it came out to Haley. I thought certainly, maybe it was a low hurdle to clear at the time, but I thought she did pretty well, actually.

And I do think a big part of that was Tucker's choice in not really questioning her on, on, on, you. Ukraine. Now, again, she has a pretty standard 2012 view of that, of that view situation. She's relatively hawkish, but they didn't get into that topic at all. And they didn't get into the topic about the Disney situation where she was talking about, hey, I want to invite Disney to South Carolina. Those are the two things I thought she was sort of vulnerable on. Because they didn't go in that, in those directions, I thought she handled herself really well, actually. I thought she helped herself, generally speaking. It wasn't a breakout. performance but I thought it was a helpful performance for her candidacy yeah you

might you might say that it's the only reason why I said it was neutral is because that's what I expected her to do she's a good candidate yeah and Tim Scott is too they're both good candidates yeah and I thought they were I grouped them together but I thought they were right around the same area maybe Haley a little bit better you thought maybe Scott was a little bit better but I thought they were right around the same area there so Vivek was the first time that I saw a and maybe not this time but maybe next time, a future president of the United States. And maybe this time. I mean, he's growing rapidly

in stature. You know, I would expect somebody like Vivek generally to do, you know, 1% the first time he's out. He's not. He's doing fairly well in the polling and some polls, one poll has him up to 10%. Let's see how those hold and let's see what really happens. but he was young, energetic, really buttoned up on all of the issues. Very, very clean, far as his messages, there wasn't a lot of political speak and gobbledygook. I thought he just delivered it. He's good at this, Glenn. He's good at this.

He's good at doing this. And if you don't, what you didn't see on stage or in the interview that Glenn did with Vivek right after his performance in the Tucker interview. He's also backstage working the crowd. He knows how to do this. He's good at it. He was a good communicator before he started running for president, and he's fit into this role really well. I think for a lot of people who probably had never seen him before or didn't know anything about him, if that was your first experience with him, you were probably pretty impressed. Like the guy take out his policies, which you might like, someone which you don't. We're just talking about performance here, and I think quite clearly he had one of the best performances

of the weekend. He's the type of person that is, I think, is breaking out as a candidate. He's having a moment. And we all knew it wasn't going to be a two-person race. We all knew at some point someone of that other group was going to have a moment. And it seems like this is the beginning of Vivek's now. So we'll keep our eye on him. The other thing is you should know that he got us, I think he was the first of the day to get the standing ovation. And, um, And he's a Hindu. And this was an evangelical gathering. He made quite an impression on these people. All right. Back in just a second, you laugh, but unfortunately, that's a big deal. No, I thought it was interesting his answer to that. We should come back and talk about his,

when you asked him directly about that after the event. It was interesting. Yes. I thought it was really good. And then we'll get to Ron DeSantis and his performance in just a second.

you were standing in front of a bunch of evangelicals, how do you think you did? And he said, you know, I'm hoping people think about it. I was raised Christian in Christian schools. He said, my family was Hindu, and he said, but we have the same values.

We love America. We love the Ten Commandments. We have the values that created this country. He said, and that's what we need to defend, and we both believe in one God. And God can use anyone. And he said, I don't think there's anybody better to push off the idea of Christian nationalism by using somebody who will defend Christians. and the nation first, then a guy who isn't Christian. I thought that was brilliant.

It was an interesting point. And then the last one was Rhonda Santos, who came in. He was the last one of the day. I thought he did really well. But he did really well, too. You know, again, people like to say he's not a good candidate. Like, there's this weird thing going around that he's not. I thought he did very well.

He has obvious knowledge of the issues. He can speak about them clearly, concisely, and with a little bit of a, exclamation point here and there and I thought he did very well. I thought he helped himself as well. He needed to do, you know, people are talking about his his candidacy in decline, which is really weird because he's been at around 20% for months. He hasn't been improving or closing the gap with Trump, but he hasn't, his support hasn't dwindled either. And I thought, you know, as for a first event, I thought he did very well. I thought he did very well. He's the candidate to beat, you know, behind um trump yeah the donald trump um i thought he handled himself very well he looked very

very presidential uh and i think uh it makes a lot of sense that donald trump would come out and say the two guys i'm considering as my vice president would be uh tim scott from south carolina that would make sense and vivake ramaswami and this something i said a couple of weeks ago and i think Vivek will be the nominee. If he chooses from the nominees, I think he will pick Vivek Ramoswami as his running mate,

which I think would be really exceptional. The Glenn Beck program.
