yes, it is me. With somebody else's hands tied behind my back. We're glad you're here. My name is Glenn Beck, and we have quite a program for you. Wouldn't you say, Stu? Big, big, big, huge. Huge. Enormous. Enormous

Fourth of July weekend is finally upon us, and it means celebrating freedom. And most important freedom that you have is the one that allows you to protect yourself and your family from all forms of danger. But not all forms of danger require lethal force to deal with every, you know, you're not dealing with that every single time. You know, I carry a gun and it's, it always. bothers me, you know, what will you do? You're holding that gun. Are you willing to actually pull that out and kill somebody? Yeah, if they're threatening my life, but then I always think of

the heroes that are, you know, like in the 7-Eleven and somebody's doing something and they just take that shot and, you know, bring them down to the ground and everybody, you know, I don't know if I would ever have the courage to do that because I'd be so afraid I'm going to, I'm going to hit the Doritos first, then I'll probably hit an innocent bystander. Just, I, Anyway, great alternative to this is the burner launcher because it hits tear gas. And so you're firing kinetic rounds and then tear gas and you can drop somebody from 60 feet away. And it takes about 45 minutes to recover. Make sure you check the wind before you do that.

Burn a launcher, it is so much better than pepper spray or anything else. You can keep it in your glove box. My wife has it in her purse. You can have the burner launcher and stay. safe wherever you are without deadly force. It's Burnab, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn, 4th of July specials, including 10% off your purchase. It's the burner launcher, burner.com slash Glenn. Well, I just don't know what to say. I watched the president's speech last night and everybody coming out and saying, he could go after us. He could just shut us down now that the

Supreme Court has ruled. Donald Trump, if he is elected, he'll come in and he'll start putting people in jail. I want you to remember that here for just a second. We'll get back to it. Here's what the president had to say last night at a press conference. Scott Knight. The presidency is the most powerful office in the world. It's an officer not only tests your judgment,

perhaps even more importantly, it's an office that can test your character. Yes. Because you're not only faced moments where you need to courage, exercise the full power of the presidency, you also face moments where you need the wisdom to respect the limits of the power of the office of the presidency. Yes. Stop there for a second.

So, Stu, like, what would some of those limits be? Like, you know, because it's an awesome responsibility to be president in the United States, but you can't just do anything, right? Like, what would some of the limits be? You couldn't just go out and kill people, right? I don't know. That's not what I'd.

I've been hearing Glenn over the past 24 hours. My understanding is the Supreme Court gave a like James Bond license to kill to the president of the United States. No. No. I don't think that's true. But we'll continue to listen. Yeah. Yeah.

Immune. Immune. I didn't hear the whole speech. So we'll go on. I was thinking like something smaller like, um, like maybe you say, hey, you've got student loans. I can't help you with those. That would be the constitutional thing. But the president couldn't just say, I'm going to just forgive all student loans.

Right. Yeah, yeah. You're thinking of the old-timey America. There was a version of America where the head of the executive branch couldn't just spend $500 billion on a whim without Congress. But those days are long gone, Glenn. Okay, but it would go to the Supreme Court. It was wrong. It would go to the Supreme Court and then they'd tell the president to stop and he would.

They shoot it down and well, no, he would just do it again. Oh. Yeah, it went to the Supreme Court already. Yeah, and they shot it down. He used to find the Supreme Court. That's weird. Yeah, so then he just did it again and then, but in a slightly different way, like 1% different and then sends it up through the courts again. And again, and again, it's going to get rejected again.

Huh. But then he'll just do it again. Right. It was changed by like 40%. It's an odd. awesome power and, you know, it shows character, you know, when you restrain yourself from doing those things that you can't do. Anyway, I digress. Back to the president. Respect the limits of the power of the office of the presidency.

Limits. This nation was founded on the principle. Farranted of kings in America. Right. Each, each of us is equal before the law. No one. No one is above the law. Okay, stop for a second. Stop, stop. Stop for just a second here. Stu, are we all equal under the law right now? I mean, is that true? Doesn't seem true. If you were held in contempt of Congress, right? You'd go to jail, right?

Yeah. Like Steve Bannon just went to jail yesterday. Sure. Another Trump advisor who said, no, I can't share that. That's executive privilege. They sent him to jail. Navarro, yeah. But yeah, but it's all equal, right?

I mean, let's say, somebody was yeah not releasing tapes of testimony and they say well that was executive privilege and they're in contempt of Congress they go to jail as well right no no I mean I don't know what you're talking about specifically but what you just described does not sound at all like something that you would go to jail for let's say that you were the head of the DOJ right and Congress said you have to produce this information and then you didn't, you would be in contempt of Congress. Oh, no. No, that doesn't seem like a jailable offense at all.

Like, you know, it's like I can see where you're getting confused here. Like, for example, if you were to, like, riot at a federal building, right? That's something you go to jail for. It's wrong. You don't do those things. Right. It's the darkest day. And then there's another separate scenario where, let's say you were to riot at a federal building, you don't go to jail for that. But wait, there was just a federal building.

Yeah, if you riot at a federal building, you're going to jail. But if you're just simply rioting at a federal building, you don't go to jail. So is it kind of like, because it's a very subtle difference. It's kind of like when you're praying in front of abortion clinic, You go to jail. Jail? But if you burn down an abortion clinic, you don't go to jail. Depends on, are you not, are you burning it down because they're not doing enough abortions?

If you burn it down because they're not frequently aborting enough kids, then yes, you do not go to jail. But if you burn it down because you think they're doing too many abortions, then obviously you go to jail. Okay, so if you burn down an abortion clinic, you would go to jail if you disagree with them. But if you burn down the people's business where they were pro-life, you also go to jail. They're pro-life, the owners of the business? Yeah, no, you would not go to jail for that. Why would you go to jail for that? Wow.

Okay, I just want to make sure that I understand equal justice under the law. We're all judged exactly the same. Now I think we have it. All right, go ahead with President Biden. Not even the President of the United States. Today's Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed for all, for all practical purposes. Today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. Wow.

It's a fundamentally new principle. Yeah. It's a dangerous precedent. Dangerous. Because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, even including the Supreme Court of the United States. Wow. Now, stop just a second. That is news, isn't it? I mean, especially to the Supreme Court. That is news that no matter what the president does, even if it breaks the law, you're not going to have to pay a price for it.

I didn't know that. I didn't know that. See, what the left is afraid of right now is what they're saying is he's going to silence speech. Donald Trump will silence any dissent. and that's not happening now. Or he would put his, he'd put his, you know, former allies, I mean, his former foes in jail. You know, for instance, let's say you're running against a guy who Donald Trump didn't think he could beat, then he would just make up some charges

and then get the guy arrested and then keep him, you know, in the court system until you finally got him into jail. that's what Trump could do. Trump could do that because of yesterday's rulings. So that's pretty pretty, pretty frightening. You know, I think if we're really going to go all the way, what should be terrifying is that Donald Trump could just round up a whole group of people because he didn't like them.

You know what I mean? Just round them up and then put them like in a concentration camp, kind of like FDR did. with the Japanese. And that wouldn't be illegal. You know, he'd get out of office and he'd never pay the price that FDR had to pay. Which was, did he named our best president? Well, yeah, that's weird. Over and over again by historians. Yeah. Yeah, the guys who violate these are always the progressives. Always. The deep, deep progressives are the ones who violate all these things. it comes to just killing people or doing something illegal, the Supreme Court case laid out,

it must be constitutional. So if the president acts in an unconstitutional way, then you can get him. But unless it's unconstitutional, he can't do it. So it would be unconstitutional to round up the people who. that disagreed with you. It would be unconstitutional to silence those who oppose you. It would be unconstitutional to go after your opposing political foe and try to put them in jail. All things that Joe Biden is currently doing. Yeah, I mean, it's funny, this ruling is coming from Roberts, who's an institutionalist, right? Like, if anything, we've complained about him a million

times because he's so unwilling to shake up things just because, you know, it happens to be the constitutional way. I mean, ObamaCare is a great example of that. Like, it's going to shake things up. And I don't want to give the impression that we're, you know, too impactful on society. He's always doing these things. And that's, in a way, what this ruling is. What he's saying is, hey, we shouldn't have, I mean, in a way, it's designed specifically to protect Joe Biden. because everybody knows if there's no immunity, what do you think Donald Trump's going to do when he's president in the United States

after what he's just been through? He's going to go in there and find every little thing that he can and go after Joe Biden on it. He promised to do it with Hillary. He didn't do it. He now says he regrets not doing it. And now they've done it to him.

So you think he's just going to sit back and be like, ah, you know, let me show you what I'm going to do as president. It's a shoulder shrug. I don't think that's the way that's going to go down. In a way, Roberts is protecting. both sides from this back and forth that could easily come. However, what the president has done is not constitutional and he should go to jail,

not for the things that he's done in office. I disagree with all of his policies. The whole thing of, you know, taking away your student loans and things like that, you know, that's unconstitutional, but I don't think that's something that you go after. However, the business dealings with China, yeah, I think that should be prosecuted. At least as far as we know, that didn't happen while he was president. Right, as far as we know, none of that happened while he was president. So that wouldn't be covered by this at all.

But what I think Roberts is doing here is just setting a high bar. Of course, stop it. Yes, you can go after a president for the worst things in the world. However, there's a high bar for you to clear. So don't bother bringing up your BS nonsense every 10 seconds because it's not going to work. That is a, that's a beyond the fact that we all knew what he said was true, official acts would be, you'd be, have immunity for. Like, you're not able under the law, Glenn, to kill people, right? Like, you don't just, you can't just, we, like, you couldn't

send a drone to go start murdering people, uh, in other countries. The president, with his powers, this commander in chief has, powers that we don't have, right? Like, we all know that. There is some sort of implied immunity for official acts. So, we all knew that. We all knew un Official acts would not be covered here. There's nothing new in this ruling. It was blatantly obvious, yet they have to do this

charade every single time and act. Oh gosh, Sealed Team 6 might come and just start being utilized to kill people. How many how many different layers of checks and balances would have to, including Sealed Team 6 just going along with this, which

they would not be covered to do. They would all get prosecuted. They'd all be put in prison. But like we're supposed to believe that, no, Donald Trump would be completely fine for doing this. It's insanity. All right. Well, let me just,

let me just end with this. As the president is saying this, two things happened yesterday. Christian pro-life father of 11 is now facing over a decade in prison. He's going to be sentenced today. Okay, for a peaceful protest in Tennessee. It was a violation of the FACE Act.

You know, they were praying in the hallway. What he said, said yesterday is this, quote, it's real easy for me. I can go and go to battle and go to jail as an individual and it's not a big loss. The challenge comes when you're leading your family through it, when you're talking to your three-year-old and your 23-year-old and your other family. Vaughn said that he wanted to pray to God, quote, every day and get up ready to take on the day with whatever circumstances come my way, with a humility and a grace and a spirit-led life that

represents all of us in our society and represents him and our community around us. How many politicians order their life after truth and justice versus power, greed, negotiation, and negotiating principles? So here's a guy who said, I believe what I believe. God will be with me. I'm going to go to jail. At the same time, Bannon also went to jail for a contempt of Congress. there are now 15, I believe 15 people in the Biden administration that I have been deemed in contempt of Congress.

None of them are being prosecuted. But Donald Trump's people are. Bannon said this, and I don't like Bannon. I don't agree with Bannon on everything. I think he's a thought leader that I really strongly disagree with many times. But he should not be going to. jail he said i am proud to go to prison if this is what it takes to stand up to tyranny if this it if this what it takes to stand up to the corrupt criminal doj if this is what it takes to stand up to

nancy pelosi if this what it takes to stand up to joe biden then i am proud to do it you have people crying that they might go to prison while they're putting prison people in prison for the things that they have done themselves. Please, Mr. President, don't talk to me about out-of-control tyranny from the Supreme Court. They've done exactly the opposite. They have protected the presidency while they are dismantling the administrative state. More in just a second. First, I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have an art exhibit coming up.

I'm grateful because I meet so many people through that, so many listeners, but also this time, because we're having it at the studios in September 20 and 21st in Dallas, Texas. I'm going to be surrounded by, gosh, I think 50 of some of the greatest artists in America, and they're all painting scenes from American history. It's really a different thing. We'll talk about it later. But anyway, one of the reasons I'm also grateful is because I can paint. I have use of my hands again. I used to not be able to use my hands every day because the pain was unstoppable. 100% drug-free daily supplement that I started taking and I could not believe that it would work.

You know, I was just talking about the American narratives in fine art. This is something that I started working on last year and getting together with some of the biggest names and the best artists in the country. I mean, I am taken aback by how people signed on for this when we started inviting people to be a part of it.

I thought, we'll never get him. Well, we'll never get him. Oh my gosh, we got all of them. You can go to American Narratives in FineArt.com. We're doing this exhibit at the studio. These are artists that we have shared stories from the Mercury Museum. We have shared artifacts and ask them just take a piece of history. And whatever story in, you know, really speaks to you, take the artifact,

paint something, paint the scene. And you're going to be able to see it. And this art show is not being judged by art experts. We want you to judge this. To the person that, the artist that captured the most emotion and inspiration, that will be the winner of the art show. And I want you to just check it out American Narratives in Fine Art.

You should read it. The Federalist did a story. The death of the administration. or the administrative state is just the beginning. While the president and everybody else is saying, they're just, they're making it so easy to be a dictator, the Supreme Court is doing the exact opposite. With Chevron deference, they have made it almost impossible

for you to be a dictator because you, the government has to answer to the people and the elected officials are the ones that make the laws not the administrative state. That is fantastic. And in this article, they talk about how Justice, I think it was Thomas, laid out a really cogent case for dismantling a lot of it. And they think that that's the direction the Supreme Court is going, which would make

it less powerful for a dictator. Just wanted to throw that in there. Throw this quick scenario bio. And by the way, Pat Gray or Pat Gray unleashed is joining us. But Glenn, quick scenario. let's say you had a real fear that the next president in the United States might be Adolf Hitler. Would you spend a lot of time criticizing the weakening of the executive branch with their agency power? No.

No, right? I would say any fence you could put around the administrative arm would be a good thing. Right. And yet they're doing legitimately both of those things. They're like, oh, the Supreme Court is taking away power from the executive in these agencies and these experts. And by the way, we're terrified Hitler's going to come in and put all of his people in these agencies. Right. So they would have an unquestioned amount of power.

That's insane. Right. Wouldn't you want them to be weakened? This works for everyone. No matter who you're afraid of being president, you should want these agencies weakened. If they hadn't beaten down our logic over the last 20 years, this stuff 20, 30 years ago all would have been laughed at. It's just ridiculous. By the way, Jonathan Turley is joining us here in about a half an hour.

And would it be weird for me to say, I just want to be his friend? Would it be weird? It's going to be weird now. Yeah. You just made it weird. Once in a while. Did I make it weird? Okay.

I mean, I really want to be a little pathetic. Friend phone calls, you know what I mean? Well, it is pathetic. I mean, look at me. You know, but I just want to be in his circle of friends. He's like, hey, I'm kicking around an idea. What do you think of this? And I, you know, I don't have to give him any advice or anything.

I'd just be like, ah, that's a good idea. It's a good idea. Why would you say that's a good idea, Jonathan? Wait, are you saying that you're going to be his friend to steal us? ideas to look smart on the air? Is that what you're trying to do with us? Well, no, a lesser man would do that. Oh, I just want to be near his friend. Yeah, I just want to be his friend. Yeah. I just want to be his friend. Anyway, there's a couple of stories that he's got a new book out on the death of freedom of speech and why it's an indispensable right. We'll talk to him about that. But also, he wrote an article

this week, Supreme Court just downgraded the insurrection to trespassing, which is so good. May I ask, do either of you, have you ever heard of parading before January 6th? Never. Never is a crime. No. Not milling or parading. That's ever known crimes to me. You know, you're milling around, you know, I've at least heard that. I've never heard these kids are just out there peri. I've milled at a mall. I don't know how many times when I was younger. And I was never arrested for it. So. Correct. And parading, doesn't parading sound like something like

well we got to get him on something right. That's exactly what it sounds like. Yeah. I mean, right? It's just parading doesn't even sound like it should be illegal. But it was a brilliant. He had a parade. He was throwing candy out to the kids and marching down the street with a flag. Yeah.

That can't be done. It's a brilliant decision though because even if you did go into the Capitol building, nobody made it to the Senate chamber or the house floor. Nobody got there, right? No, no, no, no. They got there eventually, right? Yeah, into the house, not to the center, but to the house. Not while they were there. Right. So you have no idea what they were doing there. They could have just been there to see the

statues. Well, I don't know. They were there to parade. Could have. They were there to parade. That might have. I don't fix it. By the way, but I mean, did you necessarily stopping a, a, a, uh, an event. right? They're not necessarily trying to stop the event. It seems like you could get them. If they were, they should have just pulled the fire alarm because that's not illegal. That's definitely not illegal.

And the Jamal Bowman clause of the Constitution. Right. It feels like you could, if you really wanted to slap some risks of grandma, look, we all know there's a separation here between people who committed violence against police officers and people who just walked in a building. And you get some of them. I don't even make that distinction anymore because I'm so. tired of it.

Really? Yeah. You're just, you're just like, whatever. It was fine. It was fine. Probably not the right approach.

It was fine. Probably not the right. It was fine. But like, you know, if you want to slap a wrist, you could say, all right, you're, entering an area you're not supposed

to be in a federal building. A braids. But like, they're just adding stuff on. They're like parading, milling, you know, just being kind of annoying. Well, and even people who didn't go in the building. Yeah.

Had been charged and convicted for that. It's unbelievable. What? Yeah. Yeah, it's bizarre. Again, they didn't have to do this, right? They didn't have to overreach. No.

You did have the overwhelming majority of people together saying, hey, this is bad stuff. The people really responsible for it should pay for it. Yeah. And instead, they turn that into what if we go after everybody and try to just overthrow the Republican nominee so we don't have to actually win the election? We just get it by default. If you didn't do that. It's an overreach. And you didn't call it an insurrection.

You called it what it was. It was a riot. Everybody would be fine with that. I think even on our side. Totally. Oh, yeah, we would. If it was fair justice, I'd be fine with some of those guys going to jail. You bet.

By the way, I looked up parading. It is a marching or moving around in a place in an ostentatious or attention-seeking way. Well, they did that. Can we get the Kardashians in prison? for life on that one? Wow. Wow. Wow.

Okay. Anything else that is big that we should be covering today? What was the big story on your show today, Pat? Well, I, it's several things, but I'm interested right now in sort of the shift in the Democrat response to last week now. Now it seems to be, okay, we're not getting rid of the guy. We're going to make excuses for him.

Have you sensed that as well? Well, I saw that he was over-prepared as well as under-prepared. Right. He was both over and under-prepared. Yeah, I saw that. And it really heard him to be both at the same time, and plus the cold. You know, when you got a cold and you're over and under-prepared. you're not going to do well.

And then there's just the plane. It was one bad night. Three and a half great years, Pat. 50 years of public service and one bad night? One bad night. We're just going to toss this guy. Tell that to Rick Perry. Tell him to Rick Perry.

Rick had back surgery. He took, you know, he took pain killer before he went on stage. He couldn't remember one answer and he was doomed. Yeah. You're out. Yeah. You're out. Plus, I can show you a.

another about 600 nights and days where he was just as bad, if not worse, than last Thursday night. Yeah. It's not one bad night. Let's just make that really clear. The guy has been declining for years now. Yeah. You know the couple things I keep thinking of, Pat, when it's related to this, is number one, how bad that interview with Robert Her must be. Oh, my gosh. You know, I was always...

Obviously, you're skeptical. why are they protecting this? Well, we now know, right? Like, we now know. It must have looked a lot like that debate and maybe worse. And that's why they don't want that released and they're faking executive privilege on this. I mean, that is how bad must that be? And secondarily, real bad. Think of like, the more that I keep coming back to is the real indicator, because we've all been on this bandwagon, right? We're back in this bandwagon when he initially got elected that he was too old for this job. But the progression is considerably worse. You watch 2019, 20-20-20-20-footage.

Oh, it's a big difference. Totally different person. We played them back to back earlier this week or maybe late last week, and it's unbelievable. He's a different person. We're not talking to, you know, Sarah Palin footage or Paul Ryan debate footage. We're talking about 2020 debate footage is totally different. The other one that really hits me is him skipping that Super Bowl interview. Yeah.

I mean, the fact that they decided not to do. do an interview with the Super Bowl audience right there. A hundred million people watching. With CBS News, not exactly like, you know, you're talking to the Blaze here. Uh-huh. And they decided, you know what, let's just not expose them to a hundred million people in this election season that we're actually kind of behind in. What do they know?

What have these people seen behind the scenes? A lot. Okay, so here's the thing. Here's the thing. And Democrats, if you're listening. I want you to know the worst thing you could do, the worst thing, it'll be my worst nightmare is if, if you just let him run. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I agree. If you don't replace him. I is that that's a nightmare scenario. I hope you replace him. We all hope you replace Joe Biden immediately. Please anyone. Replace him, replace him. Now with that being said, think about the mentality.

What you know, just as a, just as a human being, you saw him in 2019. You saw him, you know, last week, you're seeing him every day. Everybody knows. And you're saying four more years. You'd be lucky to make it four more weeks. Four more years. You know, you might want to say, hey, we're going to up Kamala up on the ticket to make sure everybody understands who Kamala is because she's great because she'll be the next president if he wins. I don't think there's any doubt of that.

No doubt. There's no doubt. A lot of people said this before going into 2020. There's no way he lasts four years. And I was like, yeah, but, you know, he really wants it. And you can't take that away from a president of the United States with that desire to stick to power. He and Jill both really wanted. And all the people around them, think of all these people.

These people you look at on TV and you're like, gosh, they're awful. Like, why do they have these jobs? People like Anthony Blinken and Corinjean-Jean-Pierre and like all these just dolts. The reason why they're ex-exam. existence is notable in any way. The only thing they'll ever have is Joe Biden's ear. It's the only thing that makes them significant in life at all. And if he goes away, they go away.

So they're going to fight tooth and nail to keep him in power no matter what. And that's why, like, you can't be certain as obvious as it is that they should switch him out. you can't be certain they're going to do it. And in the meantime, it's elder abuse. That's what we need to. It's elder abuse. No, it's not. It is the right thing.

You're right. Yes, it's the right thing. Keep going. He deserves it. He's been great. He's been a great president. You know, I just hope they don't switch him out. I just hope, I mean, I hope they do switch.

Wait. I hope they do switch him out. I mean, that's what I mean. That's what I mean. It's too good. He's too good. That's what I was trying to say. Thank you, Pat, for correcting him.

A lesbian couple was beaten by a group of men who they accuse of first making rude comments about their sexuality while they were out celebrating their birthdays. Terrifying scenes captured in video show the couple surrounded by nearly a dozen men with one woman lying on the floor while another appears to be held back by one of the alleged attackers. The assault came after one of the men allegedly made a rude comment about Emma McLean as she was walking. in downtown Halifax with her girlfriend, Tori Hogan, after visiting a few bars and celebrating Emma's birthday on June 22nd.

Tori upset about the slur stood up for Emma and said, hey, watch your mouth, that's my girlfriend, as she followed the men to confront them. Then a group of 10 men allegedly started beating Tori around 1030 at night, and they're bruised. Tori was, I mean, it's bad. It's bad. Now, in a completely unrelated fact that I found in another story about this, the men were Syrian. But they're Maga Syrians. They're Maga Syrians. I mean, I have always said that Damascus is MAGA country. It really is.

It really is. The best thing about it is, you know, the low prices on gas there. And I don't mean, you know, like fuel. I mean, like, you know, the gas, you know, Christians or something. Doesn't cost a lot of money in Syria. That's great. You know, even in that Assad economy. But he's still digging his way out from the, you know, from the last dictator that was over there, you know.

Uncomfortable? Yes. Although it seems to me that it's not necessarily friendship you're looking for.

What are you doing to fight against tyranny of the left or tyranny of the right?

when I think you first kind of really appealed. appeared in a big way. And there are times, this is always a judge to me of when somebody is speaking their truth, and I hate that word, those words, but when they're speaking from a position where they believe this is the way it is, you piss me off sometimes and you also really agree with me sometimes, or I agree with you sometimes. And that's really the secret of the Constitution, right? I mean, it cuts both ways.

It does. And I think that the point is, I think, is profound that you're making and that the key about our system is this level of civility that we can disagree on occasion, but also recognize that we have certain core values. That's sort of what my new books about, that there are certain core values that bond us to each other, even when we vehemently disagree. So is, would you say that that is the, because I've been trying to find what the problem is and, you know, forgive me if you disagree, but I think the biggest problem is this whole early 20th century progressive attitude that just goes beyond the Constitution and written, you know, our written principles. But we don't agree on even the Bill of Rights anymore.

You can't, you know. No, I agree with you. and it is coming from the left. That's what my new book talks about, that I do believe that the greatest threat that we have faced, particularly for free speech, is found in the times we're living. I think this is the most anti-free speech period in our history,

and it is the most dangerous because there are differences. And one is this alliance that exists now that has never formed before of the government, corporations, academia, and the media. We've never had that before. I mean, the sort of book goes through all of the anti-free speech periods we've had. We've never faced this organized effort. And we can't assume that just because we survived earlier periods with our constitutional intact,

that that's going to be how this all plays out today. First of all, I love you. so I'm going to give you a piece of advice because you are a constitutional scholar. I'm a broadcast guy. Three times now you've said my new book, always say my new book, the indispensable right. That way you just keep name dropping all the time. My new book, The Indispensable Right, talks about that. Anyway, his book is the indispensable right, and it is about the First Amendment and how freedom of speech,

there is this systematic effort to take it out. out. So let's talk about that. Well, you know, I'm still sort of amazed that we've seen this anti-free speech movement progressed to where it is. I have a long chapter in the indispensable right. I do that one. Right. Yeah, you did. You did. Very good. And, um, but I have a long chapter, for example, on academia and in higher education. And it's, I'm still surprised. I've got a colleague who has drafted a new amendment to the First Amendment and has been praised for it on NPR and other news organizations. It is, she maintains that the First Amendment is excessively individualistic.

Those are her words. And so the new amendment would allow the government to curtail free speech in the interest of equity. And other, you know, other professors have published anti-free speech books that have also been widely. saying that we have to get beyond individual rights. Some Georgetown professors, a Harvard professor, Yale professors said, we need to break away from what they call constitutionalism. So there's this war on rights generally coming from the left. It is very popular among academics, and it's gaining steam.

And so they're raising a generation now of speech phobics, kids that have been told their whole lives that free speech is harmful and triggering. So there's two parts to this, and I think your new book, The Indispensable Right, talks about it, where, you know, you have this culture where we are teaching kids and everybody else, hey, that's harmful speech. You can't say that. Don't say that. That hurts people. Well, that could be a choice, but that's not that speech, the only speech that needs to be protected is the speech that everybody disagrees with or finds offensive. That's what that's what that's for.

You don't need to protect the nice rosy speeches and the speech. The other part of that is, as you say, is now being institutionalized. But this really started with FDR. It's taken some route with Cass Sunstein's works, hasn't it? And what you're seeing is that it's now in vogue to be anti-firm. speech. I'm a dinosaur in higher education. I mean, most universities have perched, conservatives, libertarians, Republicans from their ranks and self-reported surveys. About 40% in one survey, didn't have a single Republican on the faculty. There was a, you know, the book talks about

how, you know, the Harvard Crimson had this hilarious, this piece, which wasn't intended to be hilarious. But they did this huge piece on the last Republican on the Harvard faculty in this department. And it was like a 90-year-old economist. And they did everything but sort of poke him with a stick. I mean, they were sort of fascinated about this is a real Republican still on Harvard's campus. And what's a shame about that, and I go into this and then it's a sensible right, because I, Chicago and loved it. The bar scene is like every possible... I actually lived in the way of the Door Tressor Cooperative

where the book, The Jungle was written. And in the basement, a bunch of Trotskyites that would meet. Next door was a bunch of libertarians. Upstairs we had, militant vegans. And I loved it. I thought most of them were absolutely insane. But I was fascinated to talk to people that saw what I was seeing and, but concluded something completely different from what I was concluding. You don't get that anymore.

No. I feel sorry for students today because now the sole sort of range of viewpoints goes from the left to the far left. I think that is starting to change somewhat in public. I don't it's not in academia and I don't know about your circles but it is changing to where I once again have friends that are far left, you know, that we disagree with each other on a lot of things, but neither of us believe that our views should be enforced, you know, and people silenced for their viewpoint. The only way you learn in grow is if you have somebody say something that you're like, that's not right. And then you're challenged on it or you challenge them and then you either discover you're wrong or they're wrong or there's something missing in the conversation that we both need to explore. No, you're right. I mean, the problem that I have is how to regain greater intellectual diversity, particularly in

higher education after this purging. There's just simply very, very, a few alternative viewpoints. And it is still a vicious environment. You know, the book goes into stories of... Which book? Which book? The indispensable right goes into these stories of academics. You know, there's one guy in North Carolina that they pursued for years. He had to go to court three times to keep his job.

Then someone found out he made a joke to a bunch of friends at a lunch. And he was put again on... investigation and finally they pressured him to resign and on the last day that he would be a professor he went home and blew his brains out and he's not the only to understand is that if you are dissenting voice today in higher education away from you that in intellectual values they take away publication opportunities conferences associations and they strip you of everything you value and it has succeeded in silencing professors. I've had professors send stuff to my blog, which is a free speech blog. And I always write back, say, why don't you write this up? And they said, look, you know,

I'm 40. I'm 50. I can't lose this job. And I can't be targeted. I need to be able to publish. And so it's been very successful. What people don't understand is the reason that academic blew his brains out, is that he went home and realized that today was going to be my last day to do the only thing I ever wanted to do. That's the environment we're living in now. It is fearful and it's chilling. So it goes beyond, let's move out of academia and talk about this monster of public-private partnerships in social media, for example, where the government can come in. And, and lay a heavy hand. And sometimes they are willingly doing it.

Sometimes they're doing it because we got to negotiate with the government on this. And it's much more important, just let this go. I mean, it seems to me that the administrative state has found that we don't need Congress anymore. We don't need to try to pass anything. We can just get others in the private sector to do. what we want them to do and silence people. No, that's absolutely right. And I go into a great depth about this alliance, how it has laid out.

And it's the indesensible right. And, you know, this partnership is really quite daunting. And it's been very successful. And President Biden has played a big role in that. I mean, Joe Biden is arguably the most anti-free speech president since John Adams. And that may sound like it says a lot, but it's very true that John Adams was. Hold on, hold on just a second, because I want to make sure you're not interrupted during that. I'm going to take a one-minute break back with Jonathan Turley.

And I can't wait to hear how Biden even rivals John Adams coming up. First, let me tell you about Lear Capital. Are you comfortable with the way things are right now? I will tell you, I haven't been for a long time because everyone is relying on the system to work. Well, there's programs and systems, you know, it'll hold the dollar together. And, you know, for a long time, I said, we're going to lose our World Reserve currency because you can't do to a currency what we're doing and then be the gold standard. No, Glenn, that will never happen. Well, it's happening now.

Saudi Arabia just pulled away from our deal of the petro dollar. That makes us very vulnerable. Please protect the money that you have, even if it's 10% of what you have for retirement or whatever. Please protect it. Remember, everything's going to be paid out in dollars or gold. And I can guarantee you the government's not going to be paying it off. in gold. They'll be paying it off in some sort of cryptocurrency from the Federal Reserve Bank. Anyway, I want you to call right now. Get your wealth protection guide. Just read about it,

Jonathan Turley has a new book out called The Indispensable Right. My gosh, I can't get him to stop saying that name. The indispensable right, free speech in an age of rage. And you just made a, I mean, a pretty remarkable statement that Joe Biden is up there with John Adams. In case people don't know, explain John Adams. You think, no, he's a founder. Oh, yeah. Explain John Adams and then compare him to

to Biden? Well, you know, the indispensable right has a long treatment of our historical periods. And probably the most interesting one is the earliest one of the Adams administration. And John Adams was a terrible hypocrite. You know, he was someone who praised the Boston Tea Party. You know, this country was born in rage. That's what the Boston Tea Party was. And he praised it as a majestic moment, but as soon as he became president, he proceeded to try to arrest and even execute political opponents. And that included members of Congress, ministers, writers, and they were all gathered up under the Alien and Sedition Act.

And at the end of his life, he tried to sort of reverse engines and say that, you know, he sort of blamed it on others, which was rather pathetic. what's fascinating in 1800, Thomas Jefferson ran on free speech, on contesting Adams, who's seeking re-election because of his crackdown. And he won. And in fact, one of the things that I wrote a column recently is that if Trump was smart, he would have history repeat itself. He would make free speech one of the issues in this campaign, because Joe Biden is the most anti-exam. free speech president since Adams. You have a federal... And that's taking into consideration Woodrow Wilson? Yes. And the reason is that we've never had a censorship program like the one we're seeing today.

One judge referred to it as Orwellian. And Joe Biden has been a critical role in that. He gave a speech once and said that social media companies were, quote, killing people by not censoring more. His administration has funded academic units, and other efforts to target, identify individuals and groups. These grants have gone to trying to squeeze

off the revenue of people with opposing viewpoint. His administration is a nightmare for free speech. And if Trump was smart and the other people running against Biden, they would do what Jefferson did. Because what I'm trying to get at

in the indispensable right is that we are a divided country. It's not the first time. This is not our first age of rage. But we still have something in our DNA. And that is this idea of free speech that binds us. And this is something that can unify the country. Polls show that the public is against censorship. They have opposed these efforts.

And I think that reflects something really profound. And indeed, the indispensable right is going to get barbs from a lot on the, for many on the left. Because it suggests, one of the things I ask in the book is, we all agree that free speech is indispensable, which is a term used by Justice Lewis Brandeis. But we can't agree about why. And why do we continue to struggle with free speech after so many years? And I think the answer is we have a sort of. original sin in our republic. When the First Amendment was first drafted, it was the most

revolutionary statement of free speech in the history of the world. It still is. That's why you have law professors trying to amend it. It's still controversial. The idea that you have this simple statement that Congress cannot abridge free speech, well, when that was written, many of the framers believed that free speech was a natural right given to them by God. Okay, hold on just a second. Hold that thought. We're going to come back and get the rest of this. From Jonathan Turley.

His new book is The Indispensable Right. The First Amendment is under attack. Why free speech is important, especially now, in our age of rage. Jonathan Turley, more in a minute. NMLS-182334. NMLS Consumer Access.org. APR for Rates in the Fives. Starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

without him even knowing it over the years of understanding what's going on, I wanted to give him the gift of selling a lot of books. I'm trying to get him to say the name of his book, The Indispensable Right, as many times as he can in conversation. and don't lose that skill, Jonathan. He joins us. We're talking about his book, The Indispensable Right, and that is freedom of speech, and you were just going into freedom of speech and natural law.

Yes, you know, what I really focus on in the beginning of the indispensable right is to look at how free speech was perceived and viewed. and what the most revolutionary aspect of the American Revolution was that free speech was viewed as a natural right. It was given to you by God, not by the government. And that comes out in the writings of many people at the time. And in my view, it's the correct one, that free speech is something that is quintessentially human. I talk about how we are hardwired, even physiologically, for free speech. deny someone free speech, parts of the brain actually shrink. There's a physiological response, the denial of the ability to express yourself. And that was captured early on. But within a few

years, the courts return to this English, Blackstonian view of free speech, that it's valued because it helps democracy. And obviously it does that, but it does something much, much more. And what I try to get at is why free speech is a natural right. And, you know, the fact is, as I talk about in the indispensable right, you know, we overlap in DNA. We have 60 percent overlap with a banana. Does that make us talking banana? Is that what we are about? Or is there something about human beings that require us to be able to project part of ourselves into the world around us?

And that's what is being protected. But that's what was lost in the courts within a few years of our revolution. And ever since then, we've been on this slippery slope where courts have done tradeoffs on what speech can be protected and when. You know, I read, I don't remember where, but I read years ago some of the dialogue back and forth at the time of the Alien and Sedition Act. And they argued the winning side argued that the government just cannot be the arbiter of truth. You know, there's too many strings and the questions will always go to the highest power. And if you can't, if the government can say you can't ask that question or we have the truth and that is the truth like they did in COVID. you're screwed because there's there's nowhere else to go.

That's right. If you want to see why free speech has to be viewed as indispensable and natural, just look around you. Look what happened in COVID. You know, I gave a speech recently in New York, and many of the leading scientists that were censored, banned, I, throttled, because they spoke against policies were there. And they have been vindicated.

Now federal agencies are saying what they said. But, you know, they have not been given back their positions on association. Correct. Some of them were fired. And that's exactly what this book tries to get at, is that there's a danger to denying free speech. And you saw that with COVID. We needed to have that debate. We needed a debate whether we should close all of our schools, unlike many of our allies in Europe.

We didn't have it because the media, the government, corporate. shut down to the debate. Yeah. Jonathan, let me switch gears here a bit. The idea that the Supreme Court is setting up some Nazi regime is unbelievably not just laughable, but so disingenuous when they are, you know, the Chevron deference. And now they're saying that, oh, well, the Supreme Court yesterday came out and they made the president a king.

no they didn't if you are doing something that is illegal and unconstitutional you have impeachment and then you can go to trial am I wrong on that what am I missing you're right you're right I wrote a column on my blog this morning responding to what the president said last night and the president what the president said was untrue

he was misleading the public as to what was said in the opinion. He said, for example, the Supreme Court gave absolute immunity to presidents on all things and that they could now become effectively dictators. That's not true. The Supreme Court adopted the middle path. It rejected the more extreme arguments presented by the defense. It rejected the more extreme arguments being presented or were endorsed by the lower courts. And instead, it said, look, we're going to divide this into three parts. If this is a core, constitutional function, there's absolute immunity to carrying out those functions. That's consistent, as Chief Justice Robert said, with the history of past cases. This didn't come out of the head of

Zeus. What Robert said is that we've never been pressed on this point to come and delineate these things, but he cited a great deal of cases, a great number of cases that support that. The second part is when you have an official function that's removed from those core functions. And the court said there's a presumptive immunity, which means a president can lose that immunity in court if the prosecutions can establish a case for it. And then the third category is unofficial conduct in actions, and you have no immunity. So it's vastly different for what the president and many people and the public have said. But this is part of the age of rage, right? This is part of the addiction. It was triggered immediately if people said there will be death squads in the street.

And this is what concerns me is that many politicians are joining in on this in Congress. And it's reckless and it's wrong and it's dangerous. This is what sent people to houses like Justice Kavanaugh trying to kill him. So what is the solution to get back? Because all of our institutions are teaching the opposite. Our press, I think, is there either just, dumb as a box of rocks, have no. intellectual honesty or curiosity or just in on just in on it and they think that the new way is to get rid of capitalism and the republic for which it stands and and just create a whole new kind of

in my opinion dystopian world how do we navigate our way through back to agreeing on principles reason, you know, the indispensable rights took 30 years to finish, was that I didn't want to write a book until I could really deal with not just what free speech means, but how we can have a reawakening in this country to unite it around these core values, particularly free speech. And I think we can. And the book has chapters on the media, higher education, on Congress. the media is going to hopefully correct itself because it's killing itself. Media outlets are failing. People are not buying it.

The whole Let's Go Brandon movement was a criticism of the media as much as the president. And you have new media emerging, much like at the beginning of our republic. But I emphasize that we need to retake higher education. We need to restore a diversity of thought. And it goes through various ways to do that. One of the proposals I make, by the way, can be done very quickly in the new Congress if we have the votes. And that is pass a law that prohibits a single federal dollar from being used to support, including through grants, any organization trying to censor, target or squeeze the revenue of opposing views to get the government out of the censorship business, to say, you can. cannot spend a dime on those types of programs.

Now, that means that the agencies can speak in their own voice. If Majorcas wants to go on Homeland Security's website and say everyone's a liar, then God bless him. That's fine. What he can't do is to do what he's doing now, which is to use surrogates for censorship. Congress can half that law easily. Get the government out of censorship, and then we can turn to higher education. And one of the things I propose is to say that you cannot receive federal funding from the U.S. government unless you meet 10 simple principles in the book on free speech.

You know, if these universities were committing racial discrimination, nobody would object to withholding federal funds. And yet they can deny the core right of citizens of free speech. And yet everyone says, well, that's their choice. It's not their choice. We're not a captive audience. State legislators do not have to fund state universities who are barring the views of half of this nation. Jonathan, we're out of time. Would you come back and talk about those solutions at some point with us?

Of course. I'd be happy to class. Okay. Great. Jonathan Turley, the name of the book, again, he never mentioned it. The indispensable right. It's available at bookstores everywhere. Thank you so much, Jonathan.

800 the number four relief call in and let it out to seven this is the glenbeck program uh you know sometimes i read the news uh and i just can't believe it uh It's like somebody's writing a fiction novel. I mean, honestly, if I walked into a boardroom and I said, here's what, here's what the book's going to be about. The president has an addicted son and he's addicted to pornography and crack cocaine. He's doing all kinds of shady business deals all around the world. And he leaves his laptop at a computer repair store. And it has a bunch of emails on it, too, about giving 10% to the big guy.

and the big guy is the president. Oh, and the president is senile too. Wouldn't you think they'd go, nobody's going to really believe that? But that's reality. What is unreal has become real now. So how do we talk about what is real? Well, I, my staff have been thinking about this for a long, long time,

and we have to hit people where they live. And how do you cut through and say, no, this actually matters. Freedom of speech. You know, usually people only learn it once they've run into that, you know, plate glass window. And they're like, ow, that hurt. Everybody else is going on. I told you that's a plate glass window.

You don't want to run into it. Usually you have to be really hurt. Well, I'd like to, I mean, are we hurt enough yet? Can we all agree that things are not going well? And I don't really want to go down any further. Does truth really matter? And what is truth? Is there truth?

Yes, there is truth. I got together with one of my staff members, Michaela, who is just a brilliant, brilliant, 20-something. And I told her a story that was a fictional novel in my head for a long time. And it's kind of like the Michael Vey series where teenagers can grow up with the characters over the course of the series or, you know, kind of in a way, Harry Potter, I guess, where, you know, you just feel like it's your childhood. The future feels so uncertain right now because we don't know truth. And the, this generation is not keeping up of the news. They're not being taught the truth in school. They don't know the crisis we're in.

They never grew up in the America that was. you know where the world trade centers were standing we can't forget about them we can't abandon them we can't let the left just choke them to death and choke their imaginations and their sense of adventure and spirit so we wrote the story chasing embers it features real stories from history that weave into the characters lives in the form of secret messages or codes and help the characters make life or death decisions. It's historical fiction turned on its head, where the characters and the setting is fictional,

but the stories they tell are real because they're our American stories. It's July 4th this week. Give the teenager in your life the gift of our history in a way. They have never really read it before. If you talk to your kids and you're like, let me tell you the story and they roll their eyes. give them this book. They won't roll their eyes at the history in this book. We have worked really hard and really tried to get into the minds of teenagers

and how they relate to stories, how they access information. But it will teach them the things that are important and that the truth is worth dying for, is worth struggling and living for.

So, I don't know if you saw Vogue Magazine. No, I don't even know where they sell those things anymore. But Vogue Magazine, Jill Biden, was on the cover. And that's why they had to leave the debate. And the very next day they had to be in New York with Annie Leibowitz, doing a photo shoot with the whole family. And it was great. So she's on the cover and she's wearing a beautiful Ralph Lauren dress,

which only retails for about $5,000. So who doesn't have one of those in the closet? You know, it's an interesting look. She's wearing a $5,000 dress on the cover and then she talks about food prices. And she knows that food prices are up and people are really struggling. But she's, you know, she's a down-to-earth, Dr. B. She is. She's, you know, she teaches in Wilmington and she shops for her own groceries and she's, you know, working at the community college and she said, I assign my students articles

instead of books because books are expensive. Wow, that's how down the earth she really is. She's great. She's great. Now, she's married to Joe Biden, who has always been incompetent. Let's let's be honest about it. Never really did anything in his life. That's why he's always a truck driver or, you know, I was, you know, I taught constitutional law. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. He's done every job. He's lived in every neighborhood. He's, you know, he was there marching with civil right. No, he wasn't. No, he wasn't. He was standing up for Martin Luther King, you know, when he was in Congress. No, he got into Congress in the early 1970s. Martin Luther King was dead. I don't know if he notices that. He's always, he's making stuff up about himself.

I think because he's a bit player in somebody else's show. He's always been a bit player. And he wants to be the man. You know, he wants to, you know, give himself credit for something because he doesn't have anything real. And I think, you know, he acted like a big shot. And, you know, he's not Bill and Hillary Clinton. He's not as subtle at bribery in theft, I guess. in you know Chelsea's not a crack addict so you know but I think you know he was playing the big

shot by going over to you know Ukraine and say yeah I'm not going to give him that you know billion dollars unless they fire this prosecutor he had to tell that story he had to tell that story even though it it implicates him in crimes he had to tell that story because it made him a big man now everything's starting to fold in on them and they you know They're going to get caught. They're already the loans, the kickbacks, you know, the 70 yellow flags from the treasury and banks. I mean, it can be unraveled fairly easy. He doesn't have the capability of hiding it anymore, and she has to protect him and the whole family.

Can you imagine doing that? They can't trust the Obama's to protect them. I mean, Barack was running a lot of the show behind the scenes, but Michelle's not going to risk. anything to save the Bidens. And Jill knows if Joe doesn't control the Justice Department, they're sunk. They're sunk. I think she's trying to hold the crime family together as long as she possibly can. But also because she is, she's somebody who loves being the first lady.

She loves it. You know, it's the one thing I had respect for Michelle Obama. She didn't love it. Now, I lost respect because she actually hated it. and didn't want to be, you know, was, was, just didn't want to be in the White House because of all the oppression and blah, blah, blah. But usually people who want it are dangerous when they have that much power. You know, we've already had our first female president. I don't know if people know that.

And this isn't a trick, you know, it's not like, yeah. It's, we actually had a female president for 17 months. And it was in 1919. and it was Edith Wilson. She actually became the acting president because she assigned herself. I mean, her husband was trying to push the League of Nations, which then later became the UN,

and America wouldn't have it. And so he got on a train and he was traveling coast to coast. And I think he was in California. And in the middle of the speech, he did what Joe Biden is doing now. He just stopped. And everybody freaked out. he couldn't recover. And so they rushed him off stage, put him on a train, rushed him back to

Washington, D.C. And when I say rushed him back, put him on a train. So it was days. He gets back to Washington. He has another stroke in the White House. Edith is the only one that sees it. She puts him in bed and realizes, oh, boy, we're in trouble here because, you know, we're going to have to leave the White House soon. Now, she was, she was born poor. She grew up, I think, in West Virginia. She married some old guy when she was young who owned the largest jewelry store, I guess, in West Virginia. And so he was worth a lot of money. So she married him young. Then he died. And then she decided I want to date Woodrow Wilson because he's cool. And Woodrow Wilson fell in love with her because she had a kitten face.

I don't know exactly what that means, Woody, but have you seen the cat lady? Anyway, so he, you know, he marries her. She just wants recognition. She likes being someone. Okay. So she marries Woodrow Wilson and then a few years later, you know, he's he's having a stroke. Well, she was never anyone. And now her ticket to being someone just dropped almost dead. So they were, they were in the White House with her kittenish good looks. And he's now in bed. And everybody is talking in Washington, the cabinet.

everybody where's the president now Woodrow Wilson gave her the keys literal keys to all of the safe and locked drawers and doors in the white house she would sit in on all of the war meetings and all meetings and she would just take notes exactly what jill biden has been doing okay and then when he drops almost dead from a stroke he's up in bed and she would go into the meetings and she would say, it's okay, president sent me down, I'll report to him, I'm just supposed to take notes and talk to you about it, and then I'll report on what he says. So she'd take notes and then she'd go upstairs and then she'd scribble stuff on the side of all of her notes,

and she'd say, it's shaky handwriting, you know, because he's, but he's, I went through it, and this is what he wants you to do. It wasn't what he wanted to do. It's what she wanted to do. She wrote the little notes and then she would go back and she would say, this is what he wants to do. At one point, I think, I'm probably wrong. You have to look this up. I think it was the Treasury Secretary.

It was one of the Secretary, somebody in the cabinet. And they ordered a cabinet meeting to come together and didn't alert her. She fired him. Imagine the wife of the president. She blamed it on Woodrow. But he wasn't around. He couldn't understand it. For 17 months, this went on.

And she called this her stewardship. I'm just being a steward of the president. I'm just, you know, the country's in need and the president needs some rest. And so he's just giving me this stewardship. She was actually the president of the United States. She was the acting president of the United States. And she convinced the vice president that the president, that the president didn't need to be replaced.

Because, you know, they talked about what, what do we, we should probably have the vice president. And she's like, no, he's going to be fine. You know, just be a couple more weeks. It's always a couple more weeks. Just going to be a couple more weeks. He's just, you know, he just needs some rest. And, you know, he's working from the bedroom. And, you know, I'm just helping.

It's my stewardship. It's really my sacrifice for the nation. well eventually the Congress got together of his own party and they marched to the White House and they got the cabinet together and they said Edith

I demand to see the president right now she said well you can't he's sleeping well we don't care we need to see him right now because she was telling the Democratic Party he's going to run for a neck for another four years now what does that sound like so edith wilson starts to register her husband woodrow wilson for a campaign he hasn't been seen in almost two years they said you're not running

we're going to let this run to run its course if you let us see the president right now kick him out of office, but he's not running for president for a third term, and this is going to come to an end. That's finally what she agreed with. She finally was like, okay, okay, okay, okay. Now, up until her death in 1961, she said, oh, no, no, I was never the president. I was never the president. But I did know him so well that I did, you know, I just conferred that to the others that that's what the president would want and would want to be doing right now. But she was our first president. Now, does any of that, any of that sound familiar? Any of it?

Any, anybody? So Jill Biden likes being the first lady. She's dangerously close to being pot. potus, not floatus, and from apparently good sources around those who know, I don't put any stock into this, but negotiations are underway, and I do believe that, just like negotiations were underway with Nixon. With Nixon and Watergate, they said, okay, you're leaving because you don't have, but we're not going to, he's, Ford is going to pardon you, so you don't go to jail. And we're just going to walk away nice.

Well, Jill has some power. She wants, apparently, protection from prosecution of the Biden family. She wants $2 billion a presidential library fund. And she wants a guaranteed book deal. Now, I don't know if any of this is true. But that's the kind of stuff that Edith Wilson would have done. building her her husband into something that he really wasn't, to make sure that she is remembered and powerful and that she gets the credit she deserves.

We'll see. I just thought it was an interesting history lesson today that maybe somebody might find a little familiar today. All right, back in just a minute.

I have a great program so far Because you haven't joined in But try to avoid it as much as possible But yeah it's been fantastic The parts I've heard Yeah You've been sitting there the whole time You haven't been listening the whole time

There's all sorts of other good shows that are on this time of day So I've just been checking those out Right You know but all right Well is there anything that we've missed so far Yes My favorite story of the day.

What is it? RFK Jr. ate a dog. Why aren't we talking about this? I want to talk about RFK Jr. eating canines. Okay, well, he did it in Asia. Oh, well, there's a great excuse. Well, no, I mean, it's not like he's not like he is out for Fluffy in the, you know,

in your neighborhood at night. Well, I would say that. I would say that about you. Glenn. I would say that about you. Glenn Beck is not going to go kill Fluffy. in the middle of the night. Why would I do that?

One indication is you never eaten a dog. You can say the same thing about myself. I've never eaten a dog so you could probably trust me around your dog. Can you trust RFK Jr. around your dog? Because he's, he apparently was eating dogs all over the world. He's got pictures of himself with a barbecued dog. Now, this is not a picture. He released, of course, mind you, but they, he apparently did this.

And shockingly, Glenn, it was the same year. found a dead worm in his brain. Which I, who would have seen that coming? I don't know how it could have occurred. So wait a minute, you're tying together a worm that he might have gotten while eating dogs? I'm not a scientist here. Right.

But, yes, I'm tying those two things in. I also love that he also had to have, his sister actually had to cut his comments from an environmental documentary because they were just wrong. Now, think about this. This is a movie made by his sister who's also a crazy liberal talking about crazy liberal environmental policies and he was so wrong they had to cut his comments out of the documentary. What could that have possibly been? Because he says crazy-ass stuff. Talk about global warming. All the time. All the time. And I don't know. How do you feel about asking a nanny to rub lotion on you? Have you done that, Glenn? How many times have you done that? When you were eating dog, did you go and ask your nanny for lotion to be rubbed on you?

No, I have asked my dog to rub lotion on me, and it turned out to be barbecue sauce, which then freaked me out a little bit. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's a story. That's another story maybe Vanity Fair can come up with. I will say, you got, Christy Nome's got to be pissed, right? Like, she wrote this book and she had this dog store, and she's just gone, and RFK Jr. gets to eat dogs and apparently he's going to get 10% of the vote, which is really unfair when you think about it. This guy is, and it of course doesn't even talk about all of his womanizing and all of the other things that he's done.

The fact that he's being considered as a candidate, because I, look, you might like a viewpoint or two of his, but it is amazing that this man is being considered a serious. candidate. I know he's not going to win, but I mean, he may be the highest third party candidate since Ross Perot, although the picture of the barbecue dog in his hand may, may dent that just a tad. Yeah, he's not going to do well with the, you know, the liberal animal lovers, the ones that are like, you've got to set him free. He's eating the dog. And then all of the hunters and everybody else who just love dogs, you know, real people that love real dog. Now, you're eating cat, have at it. Have at it. I don't want to eat one. But if you want to eat the cat, you could eat every cat on the planet of any size. Eat them. Eat them. Really? Yes. You're not just saying this to intentionally piss off cat owners like you do once or twice a month. Oh my gosh. Why would you say that? Are you saying that cat owners are so so mealy-mouthed and so wishy-washy and can't really handle a joke about cats? Is that what you're saying? I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that.

It seems to be what you're saying, though. No, no, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying I think we should try maybe a new American thing. We can make hot dogs out of cats. I'm just throwing it out there. Throwing it out there. But there's no pictures of me eating cats. Yeah, there's no pictures of me eating cats.

Like there are apparently of RFK eating dogs, America's best friend. Land. Back. Fits. Oh my gosh. Did he put some rough greens on that? Let me tell you about Good Ranchers. Now, Good Ranchers does not sell dog.

No. Nope. Nope, they don't. And this American Fourth of July, why don't you sink your teeth into 100% American beef, chicken, pork, seafood? What is your traditional Fourth of July? Do you have a barbecue stew? Yeah.

What do you have? What do I have? I'm a big fan of mac and cheese. Yeah, no, not you. You're not an American. You're a Canadian sports hero. I don't even want to hear about it. I mean, what do you grill for others that are coming?

Oh, you're asking if I do the work? No, I don't. We go over their other people's houses and they eat whatever they make. Gosh, you are, you just hold on to anybody's coattails for a free ride, don't you? My gosh, it's sick. Good ranchers. Get American meat and get it like you've not had it before. It is so good.

Well, looks like Trump has asked for his verdict to be overturned because of Supreme Court ruling.

And the crooked judge, judge is crooked, always crooked. Oh, his bed crooked. The crooked judge has said he's delaying sentencing while he investigates. So we should see, you know, he's not going to overturn himself because of that. But it is slowing that process down. And that's probably the greatest gift that will keep on giving for Donald Trump until he can win. There's a couple of stories out that I think are very important here. Yeah.

One of them ties to what you were just talking about. Donald Trump, obviously, one of the candidates in the presidential election coming up in November, another candidate is RFK Jr. who ate a dog. You just said this. We know. He ate a dog. Did I say that he consumed a canine? Did I say, did I point that part of that?

No, not in those words. No. Eating a dog is pretty much the same. You love this story. By the way, you know when he texted this photo? You know why this is out right now? Just to show you his judgment, he texted this photo last year in 2023. The picture is a little old, but he actually texted it.

Why? Well, I think who he texted it to was someone who he believed was a friend and a Democrat who now does not want him to be president. That's my guess. Oh my gosh, man. Yeah. But, you know, he ate a dog, Glenn. And this caused potentially a tapeworm that ate part of his brain. Now, you know, people say we don't pick our best as nominees for president.

But, you know, I think this stands in the face of that. Right. And we haven't, we haven't ever had a president whose part of his brain was eaten by a tapeworm. That is true. I mean, that's equity, diversity. That is a problem with what he himself has described as a protracted brain fog, which is exactly what you want. out of your precedent.

We just saw it on the debate stage the other night. Protracted brain fog. Right. And that's cause of the worm? Well, there's a little bit of controversy on that one because that's what I think, that's what RFK Jr. says the cause is the family, let me just read the, because he said the tape, this is a quote from the article, he said the tapeworm consumed a portion of his brain and led to a protracted brain fog.

But more often, his family points to Kennedy's. 14 years as a heroin user. Now, I, wow. I have never tried heroin. I have to admit, Glenn. Maybe you have some experience in this area, but no, no, never tried it. I feel like, you know, who lives through 14 years of heroin use? Is that a thing?

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know heroin users, maybe because they all die. Yeah. But, uh, I don't know. 14 years. You know, that's left out on his, on his resume. Well, that in eating dogs.

Yeah, because I don't know if people know this. He actually ate a dog, which gave him the tapeworm, which gave him the brain fog, which was probably actually caused by heroin use. But elect me. The dog eating, the dog eating probably was also brought on by the heroin use. At some point, really, it kind of kicked in dog. Yeah. That's true. That's a good point.

Although it does sort of, I mean, when you talk about a brain fog, if you think too much about the dog that he ate, it might derail you from the fact that he kept a journal of all the women he slept with while cheating on his wife that his wife later found and killed herself. That usually is something that's a little bit hidden. Well, that's a novel happening there. Yeah. No. You know, a movie would be a good place. for him to be. The White House? Not a good place for him to be. Okay. The transition from gas-powered automobiles to electric vehicles has been, you know, a little slow, a little slow.

And there's a new problem with the EV charging stations now. You know, most people drive electric cars. About 60% of them say they'd give their right arm to go back to a gasoline car. But, you know, don't worry about that. Don't worry about that. They're expensive. Don't worry about that. They're unreliable. Don't worry about that. But they're environmentally friendly. Well, not really. Not really. It takes more CO2 to make the car than it does a gasoline car. And then you're charging it up using electricity. And that electricity is coming from, oh, I don't know, where? Where? So here's the latest problems. Apparently, apparently the problem is the power supply. We don't have the power to be able to charge all of these. It's just something that, you know, they just, they didn't notice at the beginning when they were in. They were like, you know, well, but we're going to build half a million charging stations. Yeah, but they've only built seven of them so far.

Out of the half million, seven. So that's kind of a kind of a problem. 84% of fleet owners draw their grid power from a utility. So there's not a lot of solar panels or anything else that are helping. Hang on just a second. Who is this on the phone? Hi, it's Bill calling from San Diego. How are you?

Hi, Bill. You were talking about electric cars. I have a Tesla owner. And it does have some of its drawbacks. But generally speaking, I like the automobile. One of the aspects I do enjoy about it is the, auto drive feature which allows me to read articles like about how rfk ate a dog this is very interesting i was really going down the highway at 75 miles an hour and learned that

rfk junior had been on a heroin for 14 years yeah yeah it had a battle like a civil war inside his brain with a tapeworm and the heroin won so i thought that was interesting as a teslo Thank you very, very, very much. A satisfied Tesla owner. By the way, they're saying that we're going to need, if we're driving, you know, electric cars, that we're going to need 3,360% more electricity just to hit the Biden EV goals. Now, that doesn't include all the electricity for AI and all that stuff that's coming up. A couple of other stories. Now, Stu, would you be surprised if I said,

The New York Times just ran a story where their headline is, France's far right is bad. That's the actual headline? That's the actual headline. France's far right is bad? Bad, yes. Wow, that is the level of analysis. We are in idiocry, aren't we? This has actually happened.

We've gone a step further, but not as bad as MAGA. So it's bad, but not as bad as MAGA. Not as bad as MAGA. Yeah. We're going to go into that a little bit on tomorrow's program. Another breaking story. And this is going to be, this is going to take you by surprise. Numerous files of very disturbing child abuse and child pornography were found in the possession of a member of the Idaho chapter of the Satanic Temple.

Apparently he's pled guilty. Good job, Valley County Sheriff's Office. they began investigating him. And apparently, I mean, I'm sure he's still a member in good standing at the Satanic Temple, but he's on his way to prison here shortly. Also, July 4th cookout, record high, record high.

And, you know, you read the cost of barbecue on 4th of July really is skyrocketed right now.

One way to drop that cost. is to eat dogs. If you just consume your family pet, like IMK Jr., you're able to just really bring it down to get lots of potato salad on the side. You'll spend anything on a sink or hot tides or anything. You just go right to fluffy, and you just put it on the grill. You can put it on a spigit if you got a rotisserie, you're in really eating. you've been cooking. There's nothing like a good paw.

Among the dystopian ruins of what was once the United States of America, two teenagers find themselves on the wrong side of the most powerful corporation the world has ever seen.

They have one chance to start a new life, but it may cost them everything. Chasing Embers, Glenn Beck's first ever young adult fiction novel. Coming July 23rd. Available for pre-order at Glenn Boll. Beck.com now. Previous content identified as conservative. The Glenn Beck program will be

right back. So I've just back to that cookout cost. Wasn't Joe Biden that said, I think in 2021 that you're saving money, you're saving like 14 cents or five cents this 4th of July and so it's never been cheaper

and we all went, what? Of course it's more expensive. We now find that it is the latest from a new report from the American Farm Bureau Federation says there is 5% increase from last year, almost 30% increase from five years ago, and it's a record high. When Joe Biden had his first, you know, just game-changing 14 cents savings, it was I think $51 for, you know, the average picnic for 10. Now it is $71.

Oh my God. The report found that two pounds of ground beef now cost 1277 on average, an 11% increase from last year. Gee, I wonder why price of beef is going up, Stu. One half gallon of ice cream now cost $5.65 up 7%. Cost of lemonade has increased by 12%. And pork chops and potato chips have also increased by 8%. So, That's good. That's good. I think we're on the right track, America. And we shouldn't forget how much they bragged about that, look, whatever it was, 14 cents savings. Like, it was like a big deal. They, like, Karen Jean-Pierre came out and presented it to the media and fawned over herself for what a wonderful job they were doing. She said that it was proof of Bidonomics working. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

The Harvard, uh, Caps Harris poll found Trump heavily favored to win the election. Soaring 6% after the latest debate. When asked 52% of poll respondents said Trump won the debate. 22% said Biden won. The rest 26 said they were unsure or didn't know who won. I want to meet those 26%. And then take them into an island where they can live by themselves. When asked who they would support for president, 47% said they would support Trump.

41% said they would support Biden. You know, the thing that's going to happen is there's just not going to be any passion behind Biden. I mean, who's going to go out and vote for him? You may not vote for Trump, but who's going to go out and vote for him? You're going to cross the street to vote for him? Yeah, and again, like, how do you get him off the ticket? You know, you can't. The other thing, too, is like.

You can't. I think that's the truth. It's not to say that they won't find a way if they really want to because they also can't just give $500 billion in student loans away. So, I mean, like, they kind of find ways to do these things at times. But, like, one of the big issues would be campaign finance, which, by the way, they passed all these laws on campaign finance reform. If Biden has all this money in his account, like, you can't just be like, oh, we're just transferring this to Gavin. Like, that's not really. He can transfer it.

He can transfer it to the DNC, I believe. Okay. And I believe he could transfer it to Harris. Okay. Because she's already on the ticket in theory. Right. But there's all kinds of rules. It can't be used for, I can't remember what it can't be used for, but it will not help him. Transferring it over to DNC will not help. It would help maybe the house races or something. Like they could do other things with it. But yeah, maybe. But they are really strict rules on it and you can't transfer it unless you're on the ticket. So I think that it could be transferred to Harris. Yeah, and I know we've had with this bet going on, but it's my belief and has been for a long time that the most likely alternative to Biden is Harris. I mean, it sounds crazy because she's so terrible.

But first of all, Gavin Newsom's also terrible. I don't know why people have lost sight of this. I don't know why. And Gretchen Whitmer? She's awful. Oh, God. She bet if she got, she had one good election cycle that was incredibly well timed for her that she did well in. But like, she was a disaster in COVID.

but very unpopular as a governor. She just had one good election cycle where she exceeded expectations and everyone's like, well, she's a warm body, which is more than we have to have to take it now. You want to talk about unpopular. She's so unpopular. They couldn't even find people to kidnap her.

The FBI had to go in and just pretend that they were a kidnapping force. I mean, she's that unpopular. Yes, you could make fun of her. And she's not a great kid. candidate, but what I will say about her is she's never eaten a dog. Not once. We will see you tomorrow.

Stay safe and may God save the Republic.
