Starting point is 00:00:00 It's something else here now. Something new. From. Exclusively on Paramount Plus. It's the series Stephen King calls Scary as Hell. Everything here is impossible, but it's also real. Sci-fi Vision calls it the best show streaming right now. We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules.
Starting point is 00:00:19 Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch. Saving those children is how we all go home. From binge all episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. Okay. Stu, back. Please tell me you went someplace with your Burna Launcher. I did not go with my Burner launcher, though I guess I can. Like, you've talked about this before.
Starting point is 00:00:41 You could just put it in your check luggage and you don't have to declare it or anything. Is that right? Yeah. As long as you're over 18, you over 18? Yes, by a lot. Well, over 18. Yeah. Well, over 18.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Sometimes a shot, you know, with a bullet, is really not the way to go, stopping somebody who's coming after your family, especially if you're in a crowd, the way to go is the burden of launcher. Even Stu can hit things with it. It's true. It's pretty impressive. It's very easy to use, and that's why I schooled Glenn in a competition that we had where I defeated him easily. It's because it was easy to hit targets. I don't think it was my incredible team. We're out of time. I'm sorry. Burn a B-Y-R-N-A Burna.com slash Glenn made here in American
Starting point is 00:01:31 Fort Wayne, Indiana. You get a 10% exclusive discount now, burnup.com slash Glenn. It is. Welcome to Monday. It's a new day. It's a new week with more news for you today than you could possibly ever want. We have stew back in the saddle. We begin the program in 60 seconds.
Starting point is 00:02:59 First, let me tell you about real estate agents, I trust.com. This is my business. I'm a small business owner, and one of the things I love best about owning a business is when you can actually do stuff that help people. If you remember, that's what you got into the business for, and that's really the secret of capitalism, is how can I make my customers life easier or better with whatever it is I do? Well, that's what the real estate agents at real estate agents I trust.com do every day. They are the best, in my opinion, best real estate agents in your area. We vet them six ways to Sunday. We have a, I bet it's up to 10,000 people waiting to be a part of my organization, but we don't take too many. We want to make sure that we
Starting point is 00:03:44 are being able to monitor and actually stay close to everybody, so you have a great experience. It's real estate agents.itrust.com. We'll refer you to the right one in your area. Real estate agents I trust.com. Well, hello, Stu. Glenn. Happy to be back.
Starting point is 00:04:05 We've got a stretch run here of three months or so, and it's going to be, what an adventure is ahead. Oh my gosh, nothing happened last week. Nothing. Did she,
Starting point is 00:04:19 had she named Walls as her running mate? No, that happened last week. That definitely happened last week. Yeah. Mm-hmm. What a rollout. You know, Glenn, you know what I've heard?
Starting point is 00:04:32 I've heard he can fish and hunt. I've heard. This is what I've learned about Tim Walls, watching this coverage very closely. He's trying to carry out some sort of fish genocide because all the guy does is fish. I've seen more pictures of him with fish than the Seattle market they show. every single time a football game is played in Seattle. Every single time, this guy just fishes and hunts. That's the only thing he does.
Starting point is 00:05:05 That's because he's so moderate. He's just such a moderate guy, such a moderate candidate. I mean, sure, he happens to be the choice of every insane leftist on social media. But this guy, they did it because they thought he was so moderate. They just loved his moderate policies, and that's why he was named. What another incredible rollout from the show. Democrats. There's not a lot of Marxists that like to fish. Right. You know, so he's out there fishing. Yeah, he's Marxist, but he's out there fishing and hunting. Did you know, Clint? He was the one
Starting point is 00:05:37 who said weird? He was the one. He was the guy who came up with it. Yeah, that incredible tactic that's worked so well. He said weird, and that is why he's now going to be the vice president in the United States. I can't wait. And then, you know what he's going to do while in office, Glenn? I'll tell you what he's going to do. Fish. Yeah, yeah. That's it.
Starting point is 00:06:03 All he's going to do is fish and hunt because that is all we've learned about Tim Walls, not the fact that he has, uh, uh, that he completely botched the response to the George Floyd riots. That hasn't been covered at all by anybody. No one's asked him one question about that because you know what, Glenn? No one's asked him one question about anything. We know. Not even it's fishing. They haven't even got mad at him because he's killing too many fish yet.
Starting point is 00:06:31 It's just been nonstop praise about how he said weird once, and he's a big hunter. Well, they asked J.D. Vance about the weirdness. Over and over again, they've asked him that, yes. Yeah, well, they asked him this weekend. Here's what he said on CNN. This is fundamentally schoolyard bully stuff. They can accuse me of whatever they want to accuse me of. As Harry S. Truman once said, if you can't take the heats day out of the kitchen, And I'm doing this because I think that me being vice president will help improve people's lives.
Starting point is 00:06:58 So I accept their attacks. But I think that it is a little bit of projection. Dana, if you think about, you know, just take a couple of days ago. Tim Walts gives this big speech. He's been announced as the VP nominee. And I remember when I had just been announced as a VP nominee, I gave my big speech. And I saw my wife and I gave her a big hug and a kiss because I love my wife. And I think that's what a normal person does.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Tim Waltz gave his wife a nice firm Midwestern handshake. and then try to sort of awkwardly correct for it. So I think that what it is is two people, Kamala Harris and Tim Walts, who aren't comfortable in their own skin, because they aren't comfortable with their policy positions for the American people. And so they're name calling, instead of actually telling the American people how they're going to make their lives better. I think that's weird, Dana, but like, they can call me whatever they want to.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Excellent. He's good. He was on all of the shows yesterday. Here he is with Dana Bash, schooling her just, I mean, just a little bit. Cut six. And on the question of when he left the National Guard, he filed his election paperwork February 10th, 2005. That was a month before the National Guard even announced that it was possible that they would deploy to Iraq. And it ended up being two months. He retired two months before they actually got the paperwork.
Starting point is 00:08:13 But on CNN last night, Dana, one of the people who was actually in charge of him said they knew they were going to deploy to Iraq in February of 2004. So, or, excuse, fall of 2004. So he knew he was going to Iraq. He decided to quit, to retire, whatever word you want to use. Retire. Because whatever, because he wanted to run for Congress. He lied about that. He said that when he decided to retire, he did not know that he was going to Iraq.
Starting point is 00:08:39 That is another untruth, as even his senior military officer said. So again, I'm not criticizing the service. I'm criticizing the dishonesty, dishonesty spoken in favor and for the purpose of political benefit. And I think that the most important thing here, Dana, is it goes to Kamala Harris's judgment. Tim Walts is ultimately going to be the vice president. Kamala Harris is in great health. I'm sure she's going to be president if she wins for four or maybe even eight years. Why did Kamala Harris choose a person who has lied about their military service?
Starting point is 00:09:09 I think that is a serious lapse in judgment. And I don't want to hear from a campaign spokesperson of Kamala Harris. I don't hear Kamala Harris herself address what I just said. You know, I've seen a lot of statements from veterans, including. those you serve with saying it's just untoward to be criticizing somebody who served for 24 years. Dana, I'm not interested in the ad homonym. I've heard from a lot of veterans groups who criticized Tim Walts. The question is he said he served in war and he didn't. That is a dishonesty. I really, I couldn't care less what one or the other person says about it. I care about what the truth is. The truth is that Tim
Starting point is 00:09:46 Walsh didn't tell the truth. And importantly, Dana, this is about Kamala Harris's judgment. Hmm. They went on to... He's doing a really good job. Yeah, he was good on these shows. And this is a smart use of JD fans. Put him in these situations. Put him in these situations where he's going to be attacked constantly.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Because the tone of every one of these interviews this weekend was that. Constant attack. Constant attack. Now, again, neither the presidential candidate nor the vice presidential candidate have had one question asked to them on the other side of this. Not one. Not one. He's showing up to interview after interview after interview as the vice presidential candidate. At least they have somebody to ask questions, too. Well, they do on their side. They do. They do. The guy who is too incompetent to run. Joe Biden is being asked all kinds of questions.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Incredible. I mean, I know. They're really bad questions, but yes. Well, he's giving the same answers to cut one. Mark my words. If he wins this. nomination. I mean, excuse me, this election. Watch what happens. It's a danger. He's a genuine danger to American security. Now, I don't know what the setup question was that most of the setup that I saw from that interview was, so your grandkids were hugging you the other day. How did that make you feel? It was like the lightest touch interview I've ever seen in my life.
Starting point is 00:11:21 But to Biden's credit, at least he's actually. out there speaking to reporters. I mean, I don't know that that counts. It was more of a, you know, like the type of interview you do with your grandpa with like a, you know, a memory service. Like, where like they're like, oh, well, before he completely fades away, you should get him on camera telling you about him being a grandpa to you. So you have that to always cherish. It was more of that style of interview. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:50 I think it's more of those. Have you ever seen where they bring those old-timey pictures back to life? I thought it was kind of like that, where he's just moving slowly. Yeah. And then it goes back to the picture. I think we're almost to that. Pretty much was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Also, he has now confirmed the Democrats pushed him out of the race. Listen to this, Cut 2. You're at your home. Roebuth Beach, Delaware, late July with your family. And you make this historic decision. Listen to this. Tell me the story. What?
Starting point is 00:12:25 Tell me the story. What? The polls we had showed that it was the neck and neck race. Would have been down the wire. But what happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races. And I was concerned if I stayed in the race, that would be the topic. You'd be interviewing me about why did Nancy Pelosi say, why did someone?
Starting point is 00:12:53 And I thought it would be a real distraction, number one. Okay. I have a hundred different things on this, but let me start with a question. You're in Rehoboth Beach. Your family's there. You make this historic announcement. Tell me the story. That's how you would ask him. If he made an announcement that he cured cancer, which, by the way, I will remind you, he promised he would do if he was elected. It has not done. Wait a minute. You missed an update, Stu. last week the president came out and said he has healed the economy and the environment. Well, again, maybe he's done those two things, but I can tell you right now, I am on has Joe Biden curedcancer.com. And it still says no, cancer still exists.
Starting point is 00:13:43 It might have been the third on the list. It's coming. It's coming. So, but if he said, he made an announcement from the Rose Garden, hey, I just, We just cured cancer. Here are the doctors who did it. What an amazing. That's the question you would ask. You made a historic announcement.
Starting point is 00:14:01 What was it like being there with your family? Tell me the story. The man was so embarrassed by his defeat at a debate and was so incoherent that everyone thinks he has Alzheimer's. That was the announcement. This is not a historic. Wow. Tell me the story. How could he possibly remember the story?
Starting point is 00:14:21 The whole tale is about how he can't remember anything. He doesn't know what the story was because he's incompetent and incoherent. So that's just that part. And then his answer is so revealing and I will say actually truthful. This is a Nancy Pelosi coup. People kept saying, well, this is Barack Obama. And we went back and forth about this on the air as well. This is Pelosi.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Pelosi was the one who actually won. Walls was Pelosi's pick, not Obama's pick as we talked about, Kelly and Shapiro. That's who Obama wanted, and probably either one of them would have been a better pick. Pelosi won. Pelosi wanted walls. The hardcore left wanted walls.
Starting point is 00:15:08 And she won. She won every part of this. And what's laughable about this entire thing is that he's like, well, a lot of them said they wanted me to leave because it would hurt their races. and what's so stupid is if he would have just held out for a couple more weeks, we would already be at the point of this story in which they decided that actually he was sharp as attack again. And maybe it was just that cold.
Starting point is 00:15:36 And actually, he's doing much, much better. They would have completely reversed this already because the convention is here and they got locked into him. If he would have just held out, they would have all reversed themselves and said how wonderful he was by now. And yet here he is, this sad, pathetic old man who was trying to get himself through this race, even though he's completely incoherent. And they manipulated him into believing all of this nonsense. And he cost himself the nomination. We'll be back with more of your old-time radio listening in just a moment.
Starting point is 00:16:13 First, you've got to clean out the leaves of your gutter, huh? Well, that doesn't sound. so bad. Just finish up whatever you were writing on your typewriter.

Starting point is 00:17:31 And you'll have more time to churn that butter. Back in a minute. 10 seconds. You know, I love when somebody returns from a nice, peaceful vacation. Because we usually. return with just a bunch of angst. So I'm going to really let Stu go today because he's got a lot to say. He's got a lot to say. We all said it last week, but you got to get it out of your system, you do. And if you think this is bad, imagine being on vacation with me. Imagine this show
Starting point is 00:18:13 essentially happening on the beach day after day after day. I don't know how my family. So did you you plugged into the news? I mean, it was impossible not to. Usually I am really good at like totally unplugging and doing everything I can to not pay attention to this stuff when I go on vacation and you just try to catch up when you come back. But, you know, again, I took this vacation to multiple vacations in this time period, specifically because nothing's supposed to be happening right now. We are in between the two conventions. We already know who the nominees are going to be. What could possibly go on? This is like the dead period of the election buildup. And that didn't really play out the way I had expected.
Starting point is 00:18:54 this year. No, it really didn't. Basically, every vacation has been the same day I have here, except I'm talking to no one on a beach. So I don't know. I look more insane, but the same coverage occurs. So let me ask you, with what has happened, do you feel the, uh, the angst in the Democratic party with the Uber left is going to. manifest anything in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:19:33 They got everything they wanted. Maybe. Right. You know, maybe I don't, but like the Walls pick was actually overtly from, again, we never hear anything from the candidates, but from their, their behind the scenes reporting that has gone on and the spokespeople behind the scenes, they said specifically, the reason why Walls was picked is they were worried that all these protesters would show up if a Jew was on the ticket.
Starting point is 00:20:01 That's basically what they said. They were worried about... You missed that last week too, didn't you? Yeah, yeah. They were worried about the DNC turning into 1968 or something terrible. Or worse? More of a 1933. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Whatever you want to go with. I mean, the Jew dislike is going to echo the 30s a little bit more. But like the chaos of 68, they were worried that these protests. the Hamas wing of the party, who apparently runs the party now. And again, this is good for conservatives. I mean, Shapiro would have been a much, obviously much better pick. I mean, Shapiro clearly is better. Yeah, Kelly would have been deadly. Would have been much better. The fact that they pick walls, because they're afraid essentially of Hamas, is, I mean, it's a gift, a gift to Republicans and Donald Trump. It was a Christmas mirror.
Starting point is 00:20:58 for Donald Trump as a pick from Kamala Harris. And the large part of it, yeah, he came up with weird, which I guess is a big thing. But other than that, it's because, look, they didn't want a Jew on the ticket. There's a big part of the party that doesn't like the Jews. That is, that's why Shapiro was in the pick. That is why. They didn't want people who hate Jews to be upset about it. And you can talk about Charlottesville all you want.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Bring it up yet again, please. but their party picked a vice presidential candidate because a good chunk of their party was going to burn a city down if they picked a Jew. That is what happened here. And imagine what paddle boarders felt as they heard that rant on a beach last week. But I mean, it is incredible that that is where we are. and there's not really much controversy about it. In fact, they don't even have to answer questions about it. Why didn't you pick, no.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Why didn't you pick this? Why didn't you pick Shapiro? Give me a good reason. Because Tim Walls was accomplished? I mean, look, I, Shapiro has views that I do not agree with at all, and I don't think he would be a good president or vice president. He's not a Marxist. He's not a Marxist.
Starting point is 00:22:21 He is much more. mainstream on the issue of Israel. He has a very high approval rating in the biggest swing state. He's an up-and-coming... I don't. Democratic... You missed... You missed...
Starting point is 00:22:37 You missed two important states. You'll always get Minnesota. You'll always get Minnesota. If Minnesota's on the line, which it probably was if Biden remained the candidate, but if Minnesota's on the line, you're toast anyway. Like, there's no reason to lock up Minnesota. No, unless you're building a super socialist, not Israel or Jew friendly, or at least very, very pro-Hamas hate America friendly kind of ticket.
Starting point is 00:23:09 And that's what you have. And I feel like Michael Dukakis, I can't believe we're not winning against these people. It's going to be close and a nail biter, and we all have to get out and do our part. when it comes to election day. Please, please, make sure you and all of your friends are there. Well, after the assassination of Hezbollah's senior military commander recently and the assassination of the head of Hamas, the Israeli defense force, is still on high alert in preparation for an attack.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Thought it was going to happen last week, but if it does happen, Jews all across Israel will be forced to spend days and weeks in bomb shelters. I can't imagine what this is like. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the forefront of Israel since the beginning of the war, addressing the needs of the most vulnerable. That's why I'm partnering with them today, and you can too. Your life-saving donation is there to help provide emergency food as well as critical critical structure for security. Flack jackets, fire equipment, you've got armored vehicles that are needed, bomb shelters, and so much more. please make a donation to

Starting point is 00:24:54 anything new on the guy who tried to kill the president of the United States? I mean, I haven't heard an awful lot on, you know, what's happening there? What is that happening? It'd be nice to get an update. It seems like we don't really care.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Somebody tried to kill the president in the United States. You know, I heard the chief of the fire department of the what Butler County had resigned. The chief of the fire. The local fire? Somehow or another, I don't think the right guys are being selected here for discipline. I just would like to point that out. just a bit. In other completely unrelated news, there is a, there's a story out today about the Secret Service. Apparently, the Secret Service broke into a salon, a beauty salon.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Vice President Kamala Harris's visit to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and they didn't have, they didn't have any place to go to the bathroom. So would you play the, uh, sound of, um, cut five. This is Secret Service coming in, coming on the porch of this salon, private property. Uh, nobody's there. They're closed. Cut five. And you see Secret Service person walk up, kind of like, hmm, wonder what's here. She looks up, sees a security camera. so she walks back out. This time she comes, she moves a chair underneath a security camera. And she begins to the security camera with black tape.
Starting point is 00:26:53 So now you can't see. I mean, I don't know if she thought she was invisible when she was doing this, but she covered the security camera with black tape. Then what happened? Well, they picked the lock of the door. The alarm went off, silent alarm went off. But they picked the lock of the door and then they let everybody in from the Secret Service or local police or anywhere else just to use the bathroom of this place. Nothing was broken.
Starting point is 00:27:24 The lady said that owns this place. Well, I mean, she said they did eat a lot of my mints that were on the counter and they didn't tidy up the bathroom at all. So isn't this breaking and entering? Or is this quartering of soldiers? We don't get a chance to use the Third Amendment very much. I mean, we could make a case. The Third Amendment's like, come on, man. Come on, this is the only time.
Starting point is 00:27:54 I think we go with the breaking of the Third Amendment. Stu? I think you're right. This is we never get a chance to use the third. It's the most overlooked. You get the first and the second. and everyone's talking about all the time, the fifth amendment. It jumps right to the fourth.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Yeah, fourth and fifth all the time. Everyone's always blabbing about the other amendments. And poor number three just sits there and it's like, hey, don't quarter soldiers. I think you're right. I don't know if there's a tinkle clause inside of the Third Amendment, but there should be. I don't know. I don't know. They taped over the security camera.
Starting point is 00:28:27 They went in. They received, she received an apology from the Boston office. said, oh, I'm sorry, we will offer to pay for the cost of cleaning the salon and any damage that was done because of the break-in. The break-in, the break-in. But they assured people that the Secret Service would never do that. We don't know what happened. Nobody would ever pick a lock. You sure that door wasn't open?
Starting point is 00:28:55 Yeah, yeah. What was the purpose of blacking out the camera? Like, was it because there was someone? specific they didn't want to see part of this? Was there more of a VIP person who maybe needed to go to the bathroom really bad so they covered this up?
Starting point is 00:29:14 What was the reason for it? Because you're right, she walks right up to the camera, puts the face right in the camera, and then blacks out the camera, as if the previous footage would not exist. I think perhaps they didn't want to see the long list
Starting point is 00:29:31 because they went then on, you know, on communication that said, hey, anybody, EMS, police, you know, Secret Service, anybody that needs to use a restroom, it's right over here at this salon, come on in. And so apparently there was a long list of people coming in to use the restroom. That is, I've never even heard of that before. I've never heard of that. Again, new story, new story. Glenn Beck, been in broadcast now for almost 50 years, never heard that story before.
Starting point is 00:30:10 It is wild. And we can safely say it was not their biggest failure recently. Yeah, they've had worse. They got a couple. But I mean, you know, you might not want to break into people's stores. You know, I just, if I was this lady, here's what she said. She got an apology from the agency, and she said, I was very happy with his apology. It's a little bit of accountability.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Again, I wasn't saying to do anything. I just really feel violated, violated, disrespected, and a little angry. Yeah, you should concentrate on those last three a little bit. Your federal government just took over your business. without permission, let people walk in and out, use it. They never called you. They never asked you. They just did it. They picked your lock. And did they even afterward do this? Or did she come in and she just discovered like they had made a mess of her bathroom? Did they actually read out in advance and say, hey, by the way, we needed to go in here and sorry about that. None of that. None of that occurred.
Starting point is 00:31:29 No, she went in and the alarm had kept going off. Apparently she has to pay for the alarm. But the alarm kept going off. And so she came in and she noticed the tape, you know, on the camera because she went back and looked in, you know, okay, who was here. It's black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black. Oh, here's a secret service agent coming in and covering that. So she knew who did it. So weird.
Starting point is 00:32:04 And you should know the rules here. You have to understand. You can ask this, if you're going to have a first question to ask Tim Walls, maybe this is it. Because the way you appropriately break into someone's business is you go in there and you steal all the stuff, then you burn it to the ground in favor of racial justice. That's the correct way to go into somebody's business. Right. it's totally fine and no problem whatsoever. But when you do it like that, it's just wrong.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Think of the, think of the, the arrogance of that Secret Service agent and those around them that they honestly thought that it's okay. No, we're secret service. We're with the vice president. We can pick this lock. We can go in there. Don't worry. You need a bathroom here. Let me just open up this house.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Go in there. Who do they think they are? This is not a monarchy. This is private property. You can't do that. If people are not up in arms about this, and I would be saying this about Secret Service under either president, the Secret Service does not have a right to do that.
Starting point is 00:33:26 And if they're this arrogant, oh my gosh, I mean, at the very least, Glenn, it's a fireable offense immediately, right? Anyone involved in that? Oh, my gosh. Immediately should be fired. It's breaking and entering. It's breaking and entering. She didn't have a warrant.
Starting point is 00:33:43 She had no reason to go in there. Judge, I think what we're going to find in there is this woman has toilets. Yes. And we really need them really badly. No judge would give them a warrant for this. You cannot. she picked the lock or somebody did. They are breaking and entering.
Starting point is 00:34:04 They are trespassing. That's a great point. They are violating. They're violating their oath. Yeah. And you said that correctly. She picked the lock or we think we don't know who did it. The reason we don't know who did it is because they tried to cover it up.
Starting point is 00:34:20 That's another level of this, right? They tried to cover the cameras so that people didn't know who did it. like all of these people every single person involved in that has to be at the very least fired now i i can't after seeing like that no one got fired for the afghanistan withdrawal i don't know that uh the accountability at this particular white house is strong i mean let's just let's just go here uh back on the secret service how about the guy who came across the border uh on an aeroplane. Okay? He lands at George W. Bush Airport in Houston. He lands. He shows
Starting point is 00:35:03 his documentation. It comes up that he is on a watch list for terror, not allowed into the United States. They give him his passport back and say, have a good time. Because he said, well, I've got to, my parole is up in about 10 days. So I'm, I got to go back and meet of them anyway. He's on a terror watch list and they let him in. And then he's plotting with Iran to kill the president of the United States. Now, here's where it gets really interesting. They knew he was in the country. He's a foreign asset. He was assigned to set up someone to kill Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Okay, that was his mission to kill Donald Trump. Not him, but to get somebody to do it. And then get out of the country before it happens. He left on July 12th. We caught him at the airport leaving. He left on July 12th or tried to. The president was shot on the 13th. But why I look into that?
Starting point is 00:36:20 Why I look into that? Because I don't know. I got to go potty. Really, really, really bad. Right. Sponsor this half hour is American financing. What can American financing do for you today? For you and your family?

Starting point is 00:39:38 blease. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. If you follow me on Instagram, I posted something. This weekend, I finished up a painting. I've worked almost two years on now. And it's for the American narratives in fine art. And it is a painting of Raoul Wallenberg,
Starting point is 00:40:09 one of my heroes. and he is at the train station and he is holding the Nazi guard back from his people, the Jews that he saved with what were called Schutzpasses. And so I finish it and I'm kind of excited. And then my friend, Mike Malm, who is also an artist at the American Narratives in Fine Art, he comes by and he's like, hey, I just want to show you the stuff I just finished for the art show. And I'm like, oh, great, let me see it. the stuff is a masterpiece.
Starting point is 00:40:41 He did three of them. I think he's doing fourth. They're absolute masterpiece. One of them looks like a Norman Rockwell. I mean, it's just, it's remarkable. And it's a painting of the woman at the Salem Witch Trial that was hung.
Starting point is 00:40:58 I can't remember her name now. Anyway. And then another one of Columbia, basically the Statue of Liberty, which is in a human, form and it's unbelievable. And then I think my favorite painting of George Washington. And I looked at him because I own a lot of his work.
Starting point is 00:41:19 And I said, I hate you because every time I see your work, I want to buy more of your stuff. And he was like, well, and I'm like, no, I can. My wife will kill me. But it is beautiful. And it's going to be on display at the American Narratives in Fine Art. This is my art show. I'm trying to do something different than regular art shows because I've never really gone to art shows because I always feel like they're kind of snotty, you know, and I never know what, you know, what do you think about this? I don't really care.
Starting point is 00:41:53 I just like what I like. And so I'm trying to get these artists, and we've got 30 of the best artists in the country. Like, I can't believe they're coming. And they have gone into our museum. And then they took different artifacts from my collection and Mercury One's collection of American artifacts and saw what inspired them to tell a story of American history. So this show is going to be different in a couple of ways. It's not just these paintings, but it is paintings with the artifacts with them. And we'll have museum curators there that will talk to you about the artifacts and what they are.
Starting point is 00:42:34 like his is Mike one of his is the glasses of George Washington as he's reading and just about to take off his glasses because his eyes have grown weak and weary in the service of his country it was a pivotal moment where we could have gone into a second revolution and because he was so humble with his glasses
Starting point is 00:43:00 now we have the glasses so you'll be able to see them and the art behind it. And there's 30 artists and each of them are doing it. At least three paintings. They're all available for sale. You have to get your tickets. They're $25, but it's going to be a full weekend of amazing stuff. Go to American Narratives in Fine Art.com.

And so will the pharmaceutical companies, you know, they'll have your back on that or on your back. I can't remember. Anyway, I want to talk to you about Jace Medical.

For instance, Tamiflu, probably really good for the bird flu. They will tell you. of course, that there's a shortage on that, you know, and gosh, it doesn't really work or whatever. But grab some of the Tamiflu. Jace case, Jase, J-A-S-E dot com slash Beck.

I wish I was in studio with you. I'm sorry. I'm up at the ranch, but I don't even know where to begin with you. But let's start. You have a new book coming out on the third of September, so it's a couple of weeks away. And it is Follow the Science, which I love. What is the book, and where did it take you? Well, it's Follow the Science, How Big Pharma Misleads, Obscures, and Prevails.
Starting point is 00:48:15 And Harper Collins actually asked me to write it. First, I think they envisioned a book picking apart the COVID missteps and the COVID vaccine issues, but we agreed that that's been pretty well done by the time this book would come out. And there's some in here. But I said, what about a bigger look at why exactly we're spending more than we've ever spent on insurance and health care and medicine, but we're sicker, we're just growing sicker and sicker as a society with chronic disorders that our medical establishment seems not to notice? You know, they're so busy getting us to the doctor to take pills, the idea that they're looking for the root causes and the things that are perhaps destroying us as a society has kind of gone by the wayside. It's like they can't see the obvious. So this examines the conflicts of interest that exist between news media, government, political figures, Big Pharma, your doctor, medical schools, medical journals, in ways that actually lead to the destruction of our health. You know, I saw something on cholesterol medicine, and they said, you know, Alzheimer's is a new thing.
Starting point is 00:49:27 And cholesterol is brain food. And as we started to lower our cholesterol in our bodies, Alzheimer's started. I don't know. I didn't look into it. I just was listening to this doctor talk. I mean, I do think, and I don't know about that, but I do think. we are made sick. Some of our, some of our medicines and our cures are causing all kinds of problems. And we don't recognize them. We just go try to find another cure for that one.
Starting point is 00:50:02 And the doctors and the government aren't doing their due diligence. It wouldn't be hard to build databases and to find out what side effects are happening and what's, you know, on a population level going on. But they, I think, willfully turn a blind eye. I know something of the staten. problem. I covered that at CBS News years ago. And one of the things I uncovered, besides the fact that, as you said, every cell in our body needs cholesterol, and they're not sure at what level a particular person's cholesterol is too low. Your eyes need cholesterol, your brain needs cholesterol, and you can go too far. There have been books written on this. But even more interesting to me was the conflicts of interest when it comes to the studies that are relied upon, and the book does talk about this sort of thing, the studies that are related to the studies that are
Starting point is 00:50:47 light upon that doctors look at as if they're solid and gold. And I couldn't find any of them that were conducted outside of the makers of statins. So I don't know if people understand, even when it's drug, even when it looks like it's coming from a university, these studies are paid for and controlled under contract by companies that don't allow the publication of negative material or, you know, can tweak the data and do certain things. And I found one independent research in California, a woman who had crunched data from the studies in ways that were not done in the studies because the studies funded by the drug companies, you know, certainly they want to analyze the data a certain way to become positive. And she found all kinds of frightening things
Starting point is 00:51:32 about what too much, too many cholesterol drugs can do to the brain. They're very effective. They do lower your cholesterol, but that can be a bad thing for some people. And also there's a link to cancer. Fewer people in some studies were shown to be dying of high, cholesterol, and yet she said more were dying of cancer. And that was not included in the study findings that were published because, you know, that was not a positive outcome. So all the time when our doctors are relying on these gold standard studies, they read in the medical journals, I think they're naive to not understand how manipulated they are. Even by the medical journal editors own admissions, they've said things such as half or more of the science in their journals
Starting point is 00:52:15 can't be believed. That's shocking. I just did a podcast on Edward Bernays, who as you know was instrumental in, well, it was called propaganda at the time until the Nazis kind of took that. So he changed it to advertising. But the only reason why we have eggs and bacon and toast and hash browns for breakfast is because of an advertising campaign. And he was representing, I think it was the ham industry.
Starting point is 00:52:45 and they needed to sell more ham and more bacon. And so he had the idea that, you know, Americans are just having toast and coffee for breakfast. I wonder about ham and eggs and hash browns. That kind of sounds good. He sent that around to all of the doctors in the country. And that's why we have that, because he said, do you think this would be good? And they would say, well, I guess, yeah, that sounds good. And so they would start recommending eggs and bacon and hash browns.
Starting point is 00:53:13 it was an advertising campaign for a bacon company. And you'd think... And nobody ever knew it. Yeah, you'd think doctors would be more careful, and I'm not here to knock doctors for no reason. My dad's a doctor. My brother's a doctor. There are some very great doctors.
Starting point is 00:53:28 But as a profession, they've become wholly controlled by industries, starting in med school. And I do talk about this some. For example, I think people should be shocked to learn that the most popular or referred to textbook in med school, according to many students, is the Merck manuals. The Merck manuals published by the drug company Merck. And as part of my research for the book, I looked up to see what Merck teaches doctors in this popular manual about its own drugs and scandals. And there's virtually nothing, as you can imagine, although they claim there's a firewall between their textbook editorial people and their corporation that sells the drugs.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Sure. I mean, it's really shocking. It starts in med school. It continues because the medical associations that give licenses and make determinations, those are co-opted by special interests. And doctors are not doing their, too often they're not doing their independent original thinking. They should be calling this stuff out. Did you find that, like everything else, it's a handful of people at the top or controlling
Starting point is 00:54:40 interest or controlling money at the top, and it just keeps getting repackaged? Well, absolutely. And, you know, it's funny that I'm on here with you talking about follow the science and some of the money trails because years ago, when you're on Fox News, my husband introduced me to the Glenn Beck show. And you were on TV with charts and graphs, and I wasn't, at CBS News, I was not covering politics or follow the money stories about this sort of thing. So it looked like, you know, like, wow, this can't be true because you were following the money with Soros and you had all these crazy. My daughter calls them, you know, because I have them too now. Like there's like ropes and pins and, you know, markers.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Right. Yeah. And, you know, that stuff as I ended up diving into that as part of my investigative reporting years later, it is true. I mean, you knew that. But I confirmed through my own reporting as well that. that the same players are funding a lot of initiatives that dominate media and medicine, and also particularly when it comes to the science groups that do the health fact checks, which, as we know, typically dispense with factual information and call it untrue, and then push out their own misinformation under the guise of, hey, we're the fact checkers.
Starting point is 00:56:03 so there's, you know, a lot of, you want to read you like a little bit of the connections? It's the same thing. I tell you, I had a friend, Richard Melonscaf, he started the Heritage Foundation, and he called me when I was at Fox and he said, oh, my gosh, I thought we had beaten these guys. He said the same people and the same organizations that I fought against in the 60s are doing it again. And it's the same story. there's only a handful of these radicals that have so much power and money that are just controlling so much of our life. Well, I'll skip around. Pointer Institute used to be this well-reputed journalism organization, you know, years and years ago, but it's been taken over.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Like Duke Reporter's Lab, Pointer's funded by Google, Facebook, Craig Newmark, which is Craigslist. In 2015, Porter got $1.38 million from Newmark and the Vaccine Promoting Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to influence news coverage of global health initiatives, millions and millions more over the years from Google, George Soros, Open Society Foundations. Then you go to Columbia Journalism Review, which again used to conduct important watchdog reporting, very well respected once upon a time, but it's turned into a, gosh, at least like a typical left-leaning misinformation rag sometimes now. Well, in 2019, Columbia Journalism School accepted a $10 million gift from the Craig Newmark
Starting point is 00:57:30 Philanthropies. and Newmark, Craig's List, also sits on the Board of Columbia Journalism Review. They have all these big initiatives to, you know, these people want to be resources for journalists. They sound independent, and journalists like doctors too often don't scratch beneath the surface, and they refer to them as if they're an official resource on news and information, but all they are are, you know, propaganda funded by these big groups. And then I'll just mention one more, but there's, you know, dozens and dozens. health policy watch touts itself as a nonprofit open access journal, but that's not what it does. It's an activist website for issues like climate change and pro-farmar positions on vaccines.
Starting point is 00:58:12 I don't know why those go hand in hand, but they always do. And they partner with journalists to spread propaganda about these issues that they want, and they're funded generously with Welcome Trust, Left-Leaning Welcome Trust, which frequently partners with the vaccine promoting Billing. the Melinda Gates Foundation. Welcome Trust is a bad organization. The head of Health Policy Watch is a woman who's a left-leaning climate change activist who wrote for the World Health Organization. I mean, this goes on and on.
Starting point is 00:58:41 But like you say, you come up with the same names and groups over and over again, billions upon billions of dollars around the globe, not just in the U.S., they're touching every small group that could influence our thought in these areas. You know, you ask why, I don't know how climate change and what did you say? The other one was vaccines or something? Vaccines at any cost promotion. Yeah. I think these people that are really driven by climate change, they're very anti, they're Malthusian and very anti-human.
Starting point is 00:59:20 They're very population control. You know, we've got to get birth control in. We've got to get the rate of birth way, way, way down. And it just is a, it's just a bad mix of ideology when it comes to medicine. More with Cheryl in just a second. First, let me take one minute. And we'll be back with Cheryl. Tell you about a rough green.
Starting point is 00:59:45 They say, the dog is a man's best friend. The relationship that you have, you have to take seriously. I'm bummed. Who knows, is going back home today. as mom's returning home, so Uno's going home, and I just, I love him so much. He really, he is really my best friend, and I just love him. But Uno has been eating rough greens for a very, very long time, and I think it has given him so much health. He's really old for a German Shepherd, and I really honestly believe it was rough greens that gave him the quality of life.
Starting point is 01:00:23 it's not a dog food, it's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you can sprinkle on your dog's food. Remember, brown food is dead food. You want the green stuff. You name it. If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in rough greens. Go to rough greens. RUFF greens.com slash Beck.

Starting point is 01:01:45 with so many problems right now. What's coming our way? Well, I'm afraid a lot more of the same, but I will be reporting on this on my TV program soon. And I, I know you're interested in the same topic. This is a global battle. I believe there is a global battle taking place between what I will call establishment politicians and grassroots supported political figures. Maybe they're coming out on the left or the right. It's the Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:02:18 It's even the Bernie Sanders types. They're outside the mainstream establishment in many ways and on many topics. And they're quite popular. And it's freaking out the establishment politicians who want to make. maintain control at any cost and are willing to do anything to keep power. This is an epic battle going on, you know, around the world. I just got back from Poland, one of the places where that's also taking place. It's interesting to me, and you saw it, you know, last couple of weeks with what's going on in Great Britain. The media is ignoring what's really going on there.
Starting point is 01:02:55 And I'm sure there's racism, you know, on both sides, et cetera, et cetera. But what's really going on is people are tired of not being listened to. That's right. They are tired of their politicians, not truly representing them anymore, but representing, I don't know, a different idea, a different government plan maybe.
Starting point is 01:03:19 I don't know if anyone can really explain it, but they know that they are out of step with the government or the government is out of step, and the government is starting to do real harm to families. And they're sick of it. And it's the same thing here. Well, one of the biggest issues in Europe, which is not well reported here, in fact, if you Google it, you'll get a bunch of stories that tell you if you're on this topic,
Starting point is 01:03:46 you're anti-immigration and Islamophobic. Their immigration crisis is arguably worse than ours. And it's left and right. So I interviewed people on both sides just back from the United States. Kingdom as well. And, you know, the liberals, as well as the conservatives in Europe agree and believe something has to be done and that that's a big driver behind the rise of these political figures they don't like. They know something must be done, but they've been inundated with illegal immigration. So who is, who's running the shows? Because they're all passing the same laws.
Starting point is 01:04:23 They're all us, European Union, England, we're all doing this with immigration. Who is, who's running the show? Who has the master plan? Who is, who's doing this? Is it the completely incompetent they have no power, they just like to ski? W.E.F? Is it the UN? Who is it?
Starting point is 01:04:45 I really don't know. But I have come to believe, as you said, there is such coordination when I was in England a year or two ago, bills were being introduced that, as you just mentioned, have the exact same name as bills being introduced about the same time in our Congress. There was also an action when I was there, which I found a little odd just because of the timing, that while I was in the European Union, they passed a resolution condemning Putin's girlfriend, some weird thing to basically say they don't like Putin, fine. But we did the same thing about the same time in our Congress. And that stuff doesn't come from nowhere. Somebody is coordinating. You know,
Starting point is 01:05:27 that it wouldn't be just a coincidence that that happened at the same time. And I don't know who it is who's coordinating these actions, but the stuff being done in Europe and perhaps elsewhere is mirrored and definitely reflected in U.S. politics. I probably only have about 40 seconds. Your thoughts on Kamala Harris Walls? Well, my initial thought is the Democrats need not bother to hold a primary anymore. if they're simply going to suspend the results, basically, of New Hampshire and Iowa, and then choose their own candidate who never got a single vote, and then declare that the delegates have voted for her before the convention, then they're basically admitting the party picks the candidate.
Starting point is 01:06:07 The voters don't. Why have a primary? Concerned it all about the Marxist leanings of these two? I don't know enough about Waltz. I haven't dug into all this yet, but I certainly think if we continue on the same track we've been, or worse, you know, we're going to be in serious trouble. Cheryl, thank you so much. God bless you. Thanks for all of your hard work for so many years.
Starting point is 01:06:31 Thanks for standing and being willing to take the shots. God bless you. Thanks, Glenn. Cheryl Ackitzen, the host of Full Measure. Her new book is out in three weeks called Follow the Science. You want to know how to find the truth. Follow the science. Follow the money.

I like to hang out with my wife and kids as often as I can, and for as long as I can. I spent the weekend with my son. Just he's so much fun. He's just starting to discover who he really is. So imagine not being able to do things. I went up to the mountains with him this weekend.
Starting point is 01:07:24 When there was a time when I couldn't do any of that stuff, I couldn't move my hands, especially up here in the high altitude. It was just so painful for me. I never thought I'd be able to come back up here. And then I started taking relief factor. And relief factor I didn't expect it to work. Honestly, I didn't.
Starting point is 01:07:43 I thought, you know, okay, right. But my wife insisted that I take it and she was right. 100% drug-free daily supplement that helps your body fight pain naturally. Developed by doctors, it uses a formula of natural ingredients that addresses the inflammation in our body, which is the cause of most of our problems. Go to Relieffactor.com, Relieffactor.com, 1-800, the number four, relief. Glenn's new book Chasing Embers is out now. You can get it at glenbeck.com or wherever books are sold.
Starting point is 01:08:25 Welcome to the Glennbeck program. We just had Cheryl Atkinson in studio, and I found it interesting that she said, you know, she didn't, she hadn't really done her thorough work on walls yet. Now, she's not political, a political reporter like we are. She has to cover, you know, a little bit of everything. And she has been, you know, deep in this medical community stuff. But how many, I mean, this is a really well-informed person. how many people really don't know who this guy is. On Wednesday, we're going to be doing a full-on expose of the Harris-Walt's ticket,
Starting point is 01:09:07 the most radical presidential ticket in U.S. history by far. I mean, we've had socialists before, but as a fringe third party or something, The thing that they are really for is the completion of the fundamental transformation of America. When she ran in 2020, there wasn't a single delegate that was for her, not one. They'd say that she's rolling out her platform here in a couple of weeks, but we really know her platform because already you can buy a trans flag t-shirt that says Harris Walls. So it's at least more of the same.
Starting point is 01:10:03 During the 2019 Democratic primary debate, she was for decriminalizing border crossings and providing illegals with taxpayer-funded health care. Well, that's happening. That's happening. So if you think, I mean, I saw Wall say this weekend, well, you're not. You know, we're going to have to try to get a little more serious about the border. A little more serious about the, what are you talking about? You're both for open borders.
Starting point is 01:10:32 She co-sponsored Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All bill to eliminate private insurance. Okay. She was the first Democratic senator to do so. In 2020, in the height of the George Floyd protest, she definitely wanted to reimagine public safety and defund the police. In 2004, she declined to pursue the death penalty against a man who murdered a San Francisco police officer. She supports the new Green Deal, the most authoritarian legislation in U.S. history. And by the way, that's just some of the parts. It's not complete yet.
Starting point is 01:11:10 That's just some of the parts. She wants to pack the Supreme Court and eliminate the Senate filibuster. She brags about having insured access to gender reassignment surgery for California, prisoners. She's championed the Equality Act, which would allow trans to compete in women's sports. She has a borderline
Starting point is 01:11:31 obsession with abortion. She twice voted for the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. So in other words, you're born, they don't have to give you anything. The baby. I mean, she is, she's quite a piece of work.
Starting point is 01:11:50 And this Wednesday, we're going to go into how did she become this? Who is she? You know, show me your friends. I'll show you your future. Show me your family. She was brought up by a Marxist economics professor, her dad, in Berkeley, California. Her dad wrote an essay in 1972. Now think of that. We're at the, We're at the height of the Cold War. In 1972, her dad lods the Soviet five-year plan as a model for designing economies. The five-year plan was a disaster. The five-year plan is pretty much what the WEF is doing to us now.
Starting point is 01:12:39 You're starting to see the five-year plan for the global elites today. It's not going to end well. It never does. Her stepdaughter is pro-Palestinian Gaza. Her brother-in-law, Tony West, number three in the Obama DOJ. He was brought into the DOJ by Eric Holder, and he was brought in to be one of the lawyers for the Al-Qaeda defendants at Gitmo. I mean, these guys, this is quite a family.
Starting point is 01:13:20 Oh, by the way, her brother also was the defense lawyer, lawyer, for John Walker, Lynn, you know, the American Taliban. From where is, where was it? And then Zanzibar. From Afghanistan to Zanzibar. So this is not somebody that is right down the middle. And, and like Cheryl said, they just told all of the voters in America,
Starting point is 01:13:51 even the delegates, don't worry about it. Don't worry, we got it covered. You don't have to vote. We know who's best for you. Tell me who's for democracy. Because the only part of democracy that we actually have is the vote. We vote for a representative. They just took away the only part of the democracy that we have.
Starting point is 01:14:21 Think of that. And nobody seems to care. It doesn't seem to matter to anybody. Oh, and by the way, the way they did it? Oh, my gosh. On CBS this Sunday morning, Biden confirmed that he had been pushed out. Now, here's Pelosi on pressuring Biden to drop out. Cut three, please.
Starting point is 01:14:47 His legacy as a preeminent president, just a. I mean, and it's hard to, he's right there among the top few, a very consequential president. I wanted the decision to be a better campaign so that we could win. I did not think we were on a path to victory. So that was really more the thing. He made his decision that that would be accomplished by him stepping aside. That's interesting. Did you hear what she just said?
Starting point is 01:15:21 I wanted the decision to be a better campaign so we could win. He's a fabulous president. He's a fabulous president, but we couldn't win. No, he hasn't been a fabulous president because he's not running things. He's incapable of understanding what's going on. So maybe you could even say, you know, a lot of his policies that, you know, we all came up with, we all worked on. you know, they happened under his watch and we really appreciate it, but he's too senile to run the United States of America. It's only about winning. The ends justify the means. If you cared about this country, you would be demanding the 25th Amendment.
Starting point is 01:16:10 You'd be demanding it. In any sane culture, any sane society, any civilization, you would be demanding the 20th 25th Amendment. If you had a voice, you would be saying that guy can't drive my mother home. I wouldn't trust that this guy could watch anybody at any time. And I'm not just talking about all the weird stuff in his family. I mean, he won't remember what he's supposed to do. I wouldn't leave my grandchild with him. Not for an hour, not for two hours, not for 10 minutes. We're leaving our country to him. And she says, it was his decision. Quote, but I wanted the decision to be a better campaign so that we could win. I didn't think we were on a path to victory.
Starting point is 01:17:05 So it's one of those decisions. I don't know if your parents ever gave you one of these decisions. Well, you make the decision. Which is it going to be? Well, wait, I don't think you're going to be cool with whatever decision. I'm going to make. That's exactly what he was presented with.
Starting point is 01:17:28 This is a coup. Pretty remarkable. Pretty remarkable. In a couple of weeks, this Wednesday night, we're going to tell you how radical these guys are. And we'll back it up
Starting point is 01:17:50 with all the facts and figures, and hopefully you'll be able to share those with your friends. But the other side of this coin is we're making this about Harris and Trump when it's not about Harris and Trump. The only reason why they have made Donald Trump
Starting point is 01:18:14 into the biggest villain of all time is because he will not play the game. When Ronald Reagan was in charge, the Democrats and the Republicans, they didn't like him. The Republicans hated him. The Democrats hated him so much. They changed their voting rules. That's when they came up with a superdelegates.
Starting point is 01:18:39 We're never going to let that happen to us. No grassroots person is just going to supersede everybody we want. And the Republicans left that alone. So you still can get a grassroots guy, somebody who just takes off out of nowhere. And that was Ronald Reagan. But when Ronald Reagan was in office, the United States was still king. We were still independent. we have let so much global bull crap come into our country, affect our politics, affect our politicians.
Starting point is 01:19:09 So many people are on the payroll of somebody other than you that we're now, as she said, passing the same legislation with the same names over in Europe and here. When is that ever happened in your lifetime? It doesn't. It doesn't. that shows you we are on a path of a global Western government, one global Western government. Well, I didn't vote for that.
Starting point is 01:19:41 I don't want to vote for that. I don't want that. But you're never going to be able to get away from it unless you admit the candidates are under their control, except for one. except for one one one guy says America first one guy says I'm not playing that game one guy says we're getting out of this global climate treaty one guy is saying no the central bank is not going to issue central bank digital currency that is slavery one guy is saying that and that's why they have to stop this one
Starting point is 01:20:23 guy. Why are all the central banks working in concert? Why are all the central banks doing exactly the same thing in every country, even though it's not working? Why is the central bank cool with inflating our money? Why are the central banks over in Europe cool with us inflating our money because it makes it harder for them to buy things? What's really going on here? By the way, the Great Coral Reef, I guess, because of global warming, it is at its third straight year of miraculous expansion and growth. Now, but keep listening to the experts.
Starting point is 01:21:17 They know. Back in a minute. I want to tell you about U.S. Navy Special Warfare Operator First Class Christopher Chambers. This American hero enlisted in the Navy and later graduated from seal training I mean, how hard is that? I can do that. Tragically, at the age of... That's a dad joke, yes, thank you.
Starting point is 01:21:36 Age of 37, Christopher was killed in the line of duty while conducting a nighttime raid on a ship belonging to the Houthi forces in Yemen. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation immediately stepped up to the plate for Christopher's wife and young daughter, providing them with a mortgage-free home. That's what they do. They help America's heroes and their families. The foundation offers the late. legacy of those who've made the ultimate sacrifice or have been catastrophically injured while serving our country and our communities.
Starting point is 01:22:07 Tunnel to Towers are also fighting homelessness among veterans by providing housing and assistance and services to those in need. They're committed to helping keep Americans keep their promise to never forget the events of 9-11 or the sacrifices made by those greatest heroes. You are what makes all of this possible.

Starting point is 01:23:09 Savoyed Ammere And profite Via Rai The Voice We love that Welcome to the Glenn Beck program We welcome back
Starting point is 01:23:26 Our executive producer Mr. Stu Brighier Hello, Stu Hello, Glenn And I was listening to your monologue there And I agree with you
Starting point is 01:23:36 Certainly generally that this is not about Harris versus Trump. It's not that simple, right? It's a bigger, these are bigger, longer term issues than a couple of people. But like, because of the structure of this campaign, I mean, don't we have to spend a lot of time defining who Kamala Harris is? There's just not a lot of runway here before this election. Yeah, no, I know there's, there's, what, 12 weeks now. I think that we do have to spend that time defining.
Starting point is 01:24:05 But if you can add in, because it might sober some people up, gang, what's happening in England, what's happening in France, what's happening in Germany, what's happening in, you know, Sweden, they're saying the same thing we are. Okay, they're saying the same thing. They're passing exactly the same laws. We are headed towards not just socialism. We are headed towards a one world government. And that's why all of the leaders, all around, the world hate Donald Trump so much. Yes, I get it. You can dislike him for a lot of things. But when he said, I'm the only thing standing in their way to get you, it's true. It's true. And you've got to start looking at things. You've got to try to get them out of their lizard brain. You know, when you're riddled with fear, you don't think logically. And that's why they keep pouring this on. He's the most dangerous thing ever. He's going to lock all of you up. He's going to take everything.
Starting point is 01:25:11 He's going to... Well, he's never demonstrated any of that. On the other hand, you have, but they don't see it because they're trapped in that fear. We've got to find a way to get them out of that fear. And show them what's actually happening. Because I do believe most Americans, Americans don't want to see America become a third world country.
Starting point is 01:25:40 But that is what's planned for all of us. The Glenn Beck Program. Oh, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

He's a fellow at the, sorry, at the Center for Renewing
Starting point is 01:29:23 America. He's also the FBI whistleblower that objected being, you know, put on to duty to investigate grandmothers as domestic terrorist. He blew the whistle and the rest of it is history. Welcome to the program, Steve. How are you? I'm doing well. Grant. Thanks for having me on today. You bet. So you were with the FBI, and I know it's not the same, but I think you probably could comment on this. I'm not hearing anything satisfying coming from the FBI or the Secret Service. On the assassination attempt, there's three things, assassination attempt of Donald Trump,
Starting point is 01:30:07 the guy that they just let in, they knew he was on the terrorist and they just let him in anyway, who was coordinating an assassination on Donald Trump. And then the third comes out of Massachusetts this weekend, where Kamala Harris was on stage someplace at an event, and the Secret Service and local police needed a bathroom, so they covered up somebody's private security on their business, and then picked the lock, went in, used their bathrooms, occupied the space for hours, and then closed back to the shop,
Starting point is 01:30:45 didn't lock it back up, but closed it. The lady came on Monday, and she's like, what the hell happened here? Uh, that's against the law, isn't it? Oh, absolutely, it is. And I think if you or I were to engage any sort of activity, that there would be criminal charges against us, at the very least, for some sort of trespass. But I think what these three elements you're talking about expose more than anything else is what I'd like to dub the myth of competence that we all sort of have in our federal law enforcement agencies because in pop culture, TVs and movies shows that you consume. The characters in those shows and movies, they're really sophisticated and really great at their job and they're hunting down the criminals and they're chasing them down the back alleys and slapping the handcuffs on. and then they just stayed to black. But in reality, these agencies have now devolved into essentially DMVs with guns and badges.
Starting point is 01:31:44 And that's why it comes to the Trump assassination attempt, you know, there's all these theories that are out there. And, you know, you can count me sort of in the clan of people that believe that incompetence was heavily involved in it. And I think that there's one sort of presupposition that has gone into that that so many people have their questions about and rightfully so. But we are presupposing that the Secret Service is always great at its job. And these failures are explained. And yes, I think that these failures are happening at every single event. And it's just because of the providential nature of our country. And then also because of the myth of confidence that nobody's really tried and tested them,
Starting point is 01:32:22 which is why going forward, I think there's probably a heightened risk to Donald Trump for any of these events that he's going to hold. But to pivot to the second issue with the FBI and investigating this assassination attempt, I think one of the most disturbing elements than it hasn't been picked up on was when the deputy director of the FBI, Paula Bate, said that they were going to investigate it as domestic terrorism. And that, to me, is to the layperson seems reasonable. You don't want to have blinders on. But being a subject matter expert here, the FBI is now going to slap a classified label on this investigation and they're not going to be able to be transparent because you don't have a need to know,
Starting point is 01:33:02 you don't have a security clearance. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Congressman, can't comment on an ongoing investigation. So that's tremendously disturbing. And then the last thing that I definitely want to get to is this Pakistani national. Now, this is what I like to call the playbook that the FBI's been running the last two and a half decades, particularly since 9-11, where essentially what they do to justify their existence as a bureaucracy is a self-looking ice cream cone, they will identify. a vulnerable person, an emotionally disturbed, maybe someone with radical intentions, but not capable of carrying forward an actual attack without the involvement of the FBI. They'll identify them, use confidential human sources, use undercovers, and then groom them for as long as it takes
Starting point is 01:33:46 to engage or at least agree to engage in an activity that can be labeled as terrorism, and then they will arrest them. And the added wrinkle here was that they imported this Pakistani through the border. They sponsored him arriving. The FBI Dallas office actually was the signee on him and it wasn't just to slap the cuffs on him. They followed him and orchestrated this plot that could never have happened without the involvement of the government for three months and then justify their existence with this big dismantlement staff, which is also tied to their quotas. This is just the FBI version of Fast and Furious. With the exception of being guns with the ATF, We are now running terrorists so that we can justify our existence as an agency.
Starting point is 01:34:33 So he was supposed to leave right after he had set something up before the assassination. So did they, because I don't even know if I've read what they had busted other than him. Did they actually bust something up? The plot is completely absurd, Glenn. I've read through the affidavit. This is an individual who was. was essentially indigent, didn't have the finances, and we're led to believe from the FBI that he arrived here, and then just happened. The first person that he had a conversation with was an
Starting point is 01:35:07 informant for the government about soliciting hit men to carry forward not only assassinations, but he wanted dozens of people to have protests that were going to be cover while they did reconnaissance. He wanted to get people that were going to steal documents and thumb drives from government figures, and all for the low, low price of $5,000. which he didn't actually have. And he was doing things like asking the informant to put his phone in a drawer while they had conversations. I mean, that's not a fairer day bag. It's not really operational security.
Starting point is 01:35:40 These illusions of grandeur that he had to me indicate that he was a prime person that the FBI likes to target, the people who are vulnerable. And not for nothing. You know, let's just say he's a bad guy. What's to say that they don't import him here? and he just says, you know, this plot that I have doesn't sound like it's going to be achievable. I'll just grab a butcher knife and stab the next infidel that I see. And then the FBI should be on the hook for that. So this is them believing in their own competence that certainly nothing bad will happen while we have them on the hook for three months.
Starting point is 01:36:12 And they've been lucky, we've been lucky that nothing worse has happened. But I think the bottom line is that the FBI is inventing these cases so that they can go to Congress and say, look, all the good work we have done here. why don't you give us enhanced funding? Why don't you give us enhanced tools? Think of all the good work we could do like Lindsey Graham wants to do now, and that is giving the FBI backdoor access to encrypted communications. Jeez.
Starting point is 01:36:36 That way the FBI can circumvent the Fourth Amendment. Oh, gosh. Lindsey Graham, Lindsay Graham. So let me see if I have this right. Was this guy that they picked up or, you know, finally arrested and told us all about it? Was this just a distraction from the assassination? I think the timetable works out to be that he was arrested on July 12th. The assassination 10th happened on the 13th, which to me certainly explains the messaging that we got about this Iranian threat,
Starting point is 01:37:15 because the FBI was really super concerned about someone who they groomed to engage in a terrorism, which never was going to happen, and really didn't have their eye on the ball. and then we can get into the speculation about a character like crooks who not for nothing kind of strikes me as sitting squarely within the profile of someone who would be recruited and targeted for grooming to engage in something that he was not predisposed to do and then maybe did the thing that I just talked about but instead of grabbing the butcher knife and stabbing an infidel grabbed his dad's a yard and said I'm going to take a shot at a candidate for office So who is, I mean, who should pay for this?
Starting point is 01:37:55 I saw that the, I think it was the fire chief of Butler County just resigned over this because of staging and everything else. I don't, I could be wrong. I don't think it's the local law enforcement's place. I mean, you know, when the Secret Service come in, they usually just come in and just say, here's what you're doing and you do that and don't ask any questions. you know, whose fault really was this? Who should pay for this? There's going to be a lot of accountability hot potato as it comes to this
Starting point is 01:38:26 assassination attempt because you could see Kimberly Cito get up there and say the buck stopped with me, but, you know, it was really local law enforcement's job. And just having been at both levels, you could easily see that roof being something where the locals said, hey, that should be covered. And the secret service said, okay, we'll cover it. And then it didn't get covered. And then they're just looking back and forth to each other saying, hey, that's your job. No, that's your job.
Starting point is 01:38:46 And then meanwhile, it doesn't get covered at all. But I think ultimately, because the Secret Service is supposed to be the chief agency there who's calling the shots, it needs to be them who falls on this. And there needs to be an independent investigation because I don't trust the FBI. And it's not just a personal animus. The FBI has a track record for investigating assassination attempts, like the 2017 congressional baseball shooting, where the shooter was a Bernie senior supporter, showed up at the ball field and asked where the Republicans were and then proceeded to shoot Steve Scalise. And the FBI said that's not an assassination attempt. That's suicide by cop. So there needs to be an independent investigation may be funded here.
Starting point is 01:39:25 It could be used in the congressional leverage here for the upcoming budget. It could also be a request from the Pennsylvania State Police because I know there's a federal nexus here, but it was in their backyard. And I don't see any reason why they couldn't conduct a thorough investigation. I would trust them far more than the FBI, which is going to say this was domestic terrorism, perhaps, or perhaps we already had. the domestic terrorism case open on crooks. Either way, we can't talk about sources and methods. This is an ongoing investigation. Maybe we'll give you something here in a decade when nobody's really paying attention. So one last thought. The woman in Massachusetts that had her business just taken over without her permission, without her even being there and knowing it,
Starting point is 01:40:10 they covered the camera, they broke in, picked the lock, and went in and spent hours in there just because I guess they could. She's not pressing charges. She says, you know, I'm really angry. I feel violated, but I, you know, I don't. You know, they have a job to do. No, if people don't stand up, I think that's a violation of the Third Amendment.
Starting point is 01:40:34 I mean, that never gets any attention. I think that's the violation of the Third Amendment, but it's certainly breaking and entering. And if people don't push back and say, no, I'm sorry, if that were anyone else, you'd be in jail today. So I'm sorry, I might like you guys, I understand your situation, but you cannot do that because it'll never stop. This is the natural downstream consequences of what we experienced in 2020. When we were said, you had to stay home and stay safe and shut down your non-essential business
Starting point is 01:41:08 that you use to feed your family and pay your mortgage. And this is the chilling effect that has, and I share your sentiment about the Third Amendment. It would be interesting to see an energetic attorney take that up. But the government does not respect your civil liberties, does not respect the Bill of Rights. And this is just another example of the fact that they are willing to impede on those just for their own convenience. I mean, how hard is it to find a bathroom? Steve, thank you so much. Thanks for everything you do.

Starting point is 01:43:05 10 seconds, station ID. You know, I know how destabilizing it can be to live in, in, in, that are just unprecedented. I feel like I would say unprecedented a million times a week now, but they are unprecedented times. There's things we're experiencing, please keep a journal.
Starting point is 01:43:36 None of this history is going to be recorded accurately. Keep a journal. These are the times that future generations are going to study, hopefully as a guidebook and not a cautionary tale, but could go either way. The stories
Starting point is 01:43:53 that we want told about us in the future, because history is being written by you every single day. In my new book, Chasing Embers, which is a dystopian novel for young adults and families, there's one character named Sky, who is almost literally haunted by the story of William Tyndale. Sky's grown up in this dystopian post-truth society, and he thinks that's normal. and then he learns some history and history that's been denied. And he reads about William Tyndale, who lived around the time of the Reformation. And he was determined to translate the Bible into English so people, the common people, could read it. And it cost him his life.
Starting point is 01:44:40 And Sky doesn't understand that at all. No one would die for nothing, a stupid book. What am I supposed to believe he died for? Paper? It's not worth anything. He's convinced that power rules the world, not truth. And that's where we are. Power right now rules the world, not truth.
Starting point is 01:45:04 But the story of William Tyndale turns that on his head. Tyndale gave up all of his power. He gave up his life in order to translate the Bible into English and get it to the common man. He sacrificed everything for truth. That story changes Sky's life forever in chasing embers. It's out now. Who is today's Tindale? Who would be willing to sacrifice their life for the truth and not sacrifice their life, you know, in today's lefty world of,
Starting point is 01:45:41 I'm going to blow y'allagba? What stories do we need to give to our next generation? If you can change a country story, you can change a country. And that's what they've done. They've made, I have had two adults in the last 10 days come up to me and say, Glenn,
Starting point is 01:46:09 do you really think we went to the moon? Damn it. What did I say, Stu? 20 years ago. 20 years ago. I do remember you saying that people would start doubting that we went to the moon. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:25 Yeah. Right. And it was at seven percent. at that time. The last poll I saw was it like 15% people didn't believe went to the moon. I bet you that's up to 25% now. I'm hearing this all the time. We never went to the moon. That was all a movie. We went to the moon. We went to the moon. Oh my gosh. We are. We're in real trouble. They've done a number on us. That's what this election is all about. Are you going to believe in America?
Starting point is 01:47:04 Are we going to pick it back up and write new and exciting chapters? Are we signing off and saying, you know, that experiment where man could rule himself, it doesn't work?

Starting point is 01:47:38 Did you know that? Yeah. There is no student loan forgiveness thing. Okay, that was stopped. Somebody's pretending, and they pretend that they're a member of the government. I can think of no better reason to get life lock than all the scams that are happening right now.

One out of self-preservation, because I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to tell you these things, should things go crazy. And who knows, maybe I won't be able to even tell stories. But stories of history.
Starting point is 01:49:13 and in new ways. And that's one of the reasons why I'm having the American Narratives in Fine Art show that is happening at the Mercury Studios in Dallas, Texas. We open these very rarely. I think the last time they were open, maybe a couple of years. And you can come,
Starting point is 01:49:31 and it's a history and art show. We asked 30 of just the best artists from around the quarter. I mean, seriously, the best in America. And they're coming, I don't know why, but they agreed to do this with me because it's risky. It's a different kind of art show. And I am opening it up for not only people who are huge fans and collect their art, but also the average everyday person.
Starting point is 01:50:02 I want you to come and experience the history, experience the art. Maybe you buy a painting, maybe you buy a poster, but maybe you just go in and you teach your kids history. the artists all came through our museum and then they picked an object or something that inspired them to tell a part of American history. It's an interesting thing you're doing here because I think, I mean, this is probably true with me more than most, but a lot of times conservatives get like locked into their Excel sheets and I like to pitch, hey, our tax policy is better. And I do think that that's important. But it really is only a small slice of how people actually make decisions. And when you're talking about the way the country has changed, I mean, you don't lead with tax rates, right? You lead with the way the culture has changed.
Starting point is 01:50:52 And so much of that goes through art and entertainment and culture. Yeah. And if we don't make an impact there, if we don't have anything to inspire us, you know, look at all the statues they took down. even of George Washington and Jefferson. Ben Franklin. Inspiring people. Yeah, Ben Franklin. Statue gone.
Starting point is 01:51:12 I want to talk to Blair Buswell. Let me introduce you to him. He is a very, very important sculptor. He makes statues. He's the guy who's done Jack Nicholas, Oscar Robertson, Paul Bear Bryant, Mickey Mantle, Merlin Olson, Warren Miller, Charlton Heston, I mean, giant statues of these. He's also the guy who was commissioned to make the 130 busts of the inductees of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Starting point is 01:51:44 So if you've ever been there, all of those busts were done by Blair. Welcome to the program, Blair. How are you? Yeah, I'm doing great. Thanks for having me on. Yeah. Thank you so much for accepting the invitation and coming to the art show. Yeah. Can I ask you why if this was different than the others or why you decided to participate?
Starting point is 01:52:08 Well, I'm excited to be a part of the group that I've shown with some of these guys and other shows around the country. Yeah. And just the opportunity to do things that are, you know, American-based and the history is exciting. you know you entered a couple of things in about some some really unsung heroes i remember when i was on cnn i used to say don't take for me i'm just a rodeo clown until like the rodeo clown association rode to me and said could you please not say that because you know we we really are really good at what we do and uh it's because i had never been to a rodeo these guys are insane, insane.
Starting point is 01:53:01 Yeah. I'm going to have two pieces in this show, the rodeo clown. And that's important to me growing up. This is kind of like a 50-year bucket list for me. There was a, I used to follow my dad. He performed at rodeos with a group of equestrian guys and going from rodeo to rodeo. down the west and and I was just fascinated with the clowns and that's what I wanted to do.
Starting point is 01:53:38 I wanted, you know, and so one of the pieces is where a bull has bucked off the rider and the clown now he's turned the attention on the clown as he's running away. Yeah, and the clown has his hand on the forehead of the bull. I've seen this happen before. And you're like, this guy's dead. He's dead. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:07 Have you ever done a... It's a piece I really wanted to do for a long time. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's really beautiful. Have you ever done anything with Bill Pickett? You know who he is? No. He's the original, the first bulldogger of rodeo.
Starting point is 01:54:23 And he invented that, you know, the move where you grab them by the head and you kind of twist him down and pin him, die him. That was his move. He was a very famous black, very famous black cowboy, made westerns for black theater back in the 20s and 30s. But he invented that because he, it's called bulldogging because his dog,
Starting point is 01:54:46 he was a rancher and his dog went up and bit a bull in the lip and pulled him down. And he said, that little teeny dog controlled that bull all the time. So that's how, he started. He would jump on the bull and bite their bottom lip and push them down to the ground. I don't know if anybody does that anymore. No, I hope not.
Starting point is 01:55:10 Yeah, it might be worth remembering. Blair, thank you so much. We'll see you in September. God bless you. Okay. Well, thank you. You're welcome. I'm looking forward to it. Blair Buswell. He is an extraordinary sculptor. you'll be able to see all of the art some of it is up now I'm maybe going to finish mine this week I finished one of mine and another one that hasn't been seen yet be finishing mine and the the pictures will be all up and there's a thing that if you are a fan of any of these guys and I'm telling you one of these should I say this or not because I really want this one but my wife would kill me so I'm going to say it
Starting point is 01:55:55 there is one painting in this show that I have seen in person that I saw a picture of and then I saw it in person. And it is Norman Rockwell. I mean, it is Norman Rockwell quality. And it's, you know, at a relatively dog food price compared to Norman Rockwell. And, you know, he's going to make posters of it and everything else. These stories that these guys are telling, we need to have them around our children and our grandchildren. We need to be able to tell these stories.

Starting point is 01:56:57 September 20th at 21st. I put this show, believe it or not, in September for a reason. I knew this been in the works for two years. I knew that it would be right at the tail end or right in the middle of the hottest part of the election. but I gambled that people are going to want to take a break and be renewed on the spirit of America. Something good, something positive, something that you can hold on to, something that you can take your families to. So that's why I put it in September of this year. And everybody said I was crazy and nobody would come.

Starting point is 01:59:29 The previous content identified as mildly humorous. Humor fluid. The Glenn Beck Program will be right back. This is the Glenn Beck program. years ago I read a book called positioning the battlegrounds
Starting point is 02:00:01 of your mind it was when I was in Top 40 radio and I was programming and you know the top 40 radio was just brutal to each other
Starting point is 02:00:11 the games you would play back and forth and I just saw this today happening a top 40 battle except it's between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris
Starting point is 02:00:21 and I don't know the answer to this but in radio whoever had the the bigger audience that was touching base with them over and over and over and over and over again, if it was way ahead in what's called QM, if it was way ahead in that, it could steal whatever it wanted from the other station and frustrate the heck out of them.
Starting point is 02:00:45 Because everyone would hear it first on the station that just stole it. and so if you were the station that just stole it, all your audience is saying, my gosh, these guys over here, they're using that slogan after they hear it a few weeks later. They just, they were saying they stole that. Now, I don't know who controls the mass,
Starting point is 02:01:10 but I have a feeling it's Kamala Harris. And she just stole no tips on, on waitresses. what was it called no tips on no tax on tips yeah yeah i'm sorry no tax on tips no tips no tips on waitresses would be a weird policy yeah yeah yeah yeah no tax on tips and that was something that don't trump has been running with for a while so it must be wildly popular and they just took it and i'm wondering when people hear that from donald trump if camilla will eventually say that was ours you took that from us and
Starting point is 02:01:50 and half the country will believe it. That's probably true. We have the audio of her actually saying it, because I didn't believe it when I first saw it. I'm like, oh, well, maybe they're just... Yeah, no, she's just straight out saying this exact same policy. This is cut for. This is on tips for service and hospitality workers.
Starting point is 02:02:09 Oh, no, that's not the same. That's not the same for service and hospitality workers. Yeah. So... It's true. Trump has said nothing about hospitality. No, nothing about hospitality. workers. No, they're, you know, and they deserve a break today. Yeah, they do. They do. But I mean,
Starting point is 02:02:27 it's an interesting thing. First of all, as you point out, their internal polling must show this is a very, very popular policy. And it's also one of those tax cuts that's kind of difficult to frame as the evil fat cats, you know, collecting money from Republicans. Like, you're going after people who are making oftentimes below minimum wage, because if you are a tip worker, you can make below minimum wage. And the tips bring you up to that minimum wage. So these are not fat cats. These are people who depend on, you know, the, the generosity of their customers to even get up to minimum wage in this country.
Starting point is 02:03:05 So it's hard to frame them that way. But, I mean, it is really, really, I mean, they must just have this belief that the media is going to carry them through this. This is them blatantly lifting one of Trump's policies. And beyond that, it is also yet another. flip-flop from Kamala Harris, where she has supported and was part of an administration that was targeting tipped workers because they weren't paying enough in taxes. They expanded the IRS powers to go after these people, added thousands of agents to
Starting point is 02:03:40 go after these people to try to get at the tips that were coming in without being taxed. So it's another flip-flop from her, unsurprisingly. it's this is going to be the most interesting a few months i wish i could be dispassionate about it you know if i would love for this to be happening in england you know where it's like well well wow they're destroying themselves that is happening in england i hate to bring this to in england by the way have you heard that our good friend douglas murray is now being raked over the coals they say he's that he should be investigating because of his book.
Starting point is 02:04:20 Because in his, in his book, he said, you know, this, here's what's going on and here's coming. And so in his book, I think it was the end of Europe or the, I can't remember. But in his book, he talked about there's going to be riots and everything else. And so now Alistair Campbell, he's in with the Tories and everybody else. Anyway, he said police should investigate Douglas Murray for writing and promoting the strange death of Europe. That's the name of it. And that's because he was right.
Starting point is 02:04:59 And so now I guess he was the grand planner. Is that even possible? Well, what? Hello? Douglas Murray is one of the most well-thought-out, reasoned, never-get-angry kind of guy I've ever talked to. Would you agree with that still? Yeah, he's super calm and rational and thoughtful. And, you know, a lot of people don't like his conclusions,
Starting point is 02:05:25 but that's different from saying he's some big hate monger. He's just analyzing the world the way he sees it. Right. Now, speaking the truth about the future, when it happens, they're going to investigate you? For what? Being right? Pretty stark times.
Starting point is 02:05:48 By the way, tomorrow we're going to do Ezra's Eagle. We're going to spend an hour on that. If you don't know what it is, you've got to tune in. I think it's going to be kind of a fun exploration tomorrow. The Glenn Beck Program.
