Negoti to T-D you can't to renew with your instinct of negotiation. With, without operation

gratuit, no amount of minimum and any money and you're made for negotiate, and the appellee

the application to you help you Eddie. Telecharge it right now. It is a fascinating conversation. We'll talk more about it here coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

You want to do the right thing for your dog. You love your dog as much as I love Uno. I don't understand it when people have dogs and they, you know, don't take care of them. I just, anyway, all of the good things our dogs do for us. You want to make sure he's healthy and happy. I couldn't get Uno to eat. We kept going to the vet and she'd say, he's got to gain weight. He's got to gain weight.

I'm like, I can't get him to eat. We have to hand feed him. So when naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black came into my office and he told me, you know, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants. I said, will he like his food? He said, yeah, they usually go crazy for it. Well, I put a bowl down and he did. He went crazy for it. He runs to his bowl now.

Actually, he's kind of slowly walking to his bowl lately. but I really believe it's changed his life. It's Rough Greens. RUFF Greens.com slash Beck or call 833 Glenn 33. That's 833, GLEANN-33. 833, Roughgreens.com, says Beck. What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Well, we found out yesterday that the trial in Georgia with Donald Trump is going to be televised and streamed live. However, reporters are not allowed to use any electronic device to be able to record it. What the hell? What? Oh my gosh, nothing. Even the simple things that are not political just don't make sense to me anymore. Oh, and the ATF has finally closed that gun show loophole.

It's just going to require a little bit more paper. work for you. Wait until you hear what the ATF is doing. They are putting together a national registry which Congress has always said no to is absolutely unconstitutional, but they're going to do it anyway. They've already started. We'll tell you that. And also the people who were convicted yesterday, a terrorist was convicted yesterday because He removed a fence, Stu. He removed a fence. Now, he got, what is it, 37 years, right?

He was a 18. I was going to say 15 or 17 years. 17 years. So he's got 17 years. The guy who burned down a police station burned it down in, I think it was Minneapolis. He got four years. But this is. much more serious than burning a police station down.

I'm legitimately shocked he got any years for burning a police station down. I feel like that's progress. It's almost good news. We begin. You're impregressive. We begin in just a second. Dolores wrote in about her experience with Relief Factory. She said it started taking Relief Factor not long ago.

So far it has completely stopped the arthritis pain in my hands. They were so bad. It was impossible for me to do my sewing. Not anymore. Thank you so much. Relief Factor. Dolores, thank you for listening. Thank you for giving Relief Factor a try.

I'm glad you're getting your life back. It is. I mean, for me, it's a miracle. I was in pain constantly. I still have pain from time to time when it gets really bad. But most of the time, I mean, I couldn't paint. And most people don't know. I'm a painter.

Yes, that's right. Claude Monet. And I have a lot in common. Anyway, I had a really hard time. because my hands would hurt so much. I can paint now. Relief fact, much to the chagrin of really pretty much every person in the art world. Relieffactor.com.

It's relieffactor.com. Go there now or you can call 800, the number four relief. 800 for relief. Relieffactor.com, feel the difference. Okay, so now here is the thing. There is this gun show loophole. You know that, Stu, right? Huge loophole.

Almost all guns are bought through the gun show loophole. Unless they're, unless they're ghost guns. Yes. It's the only two types of guns. Yeah. But the kids in the mystery van have already unmasked the ghost gun. That's true. And they would have gotten away with it too, everyone for those pesky kids.

So the gun show loophole, do you know what it is? Yes. Yes, go. Yes. Go. Yes. Go. It is when you go to a gun show loophole. Go SpeedRacer.

And there is someone there selling a private seller. Go Speed Racer. Who is selling their guns. And because they're a private seller and not a business, they're able, they don't have to go through all of the background checks. Go speed racer. Go. You got it. Okay.

Very small percentage of guns sold this way. Like very small. Yes. Very small. And basically what he said is absolutely right. It's a private seller. So if I have a gun to sell and I'm not a gun, you know, a gun. you know, a gun store.

I don't have my license, my FFL. I can sell my gun. But it's a private transaction between two people. Okay. Well, you now have to prove that you're not in business looking for profit on your gun. Now, now hang on just a second. I'm a capitalist, okay? And I'm looking for profit.

I don't know about anybody else, but I think pretty much everybody, when you go to work, how dare you look for profit when you're at work? I mean, that's why we go. Yes. Okay? If I have a gun and it's worth more than I paid for and I can find somebody that wants to pay for that gun,

okay. I mean, honestly, somebody just called us and said, you want to sell your house? And I'm like, no? we live in our house. We live in our house. They were like, but you were selling it. And I'm like, yeah, we were.

And then it didn't sell. So we remodeled. And now we love our house. So no, we don't want to sell. Well, what would it take? I came up with an enormous, crazy, outrageous number. Okay? Because you would, in theory, move out if they hit this.

You want to give me a crazy amount of money. I'm like, I'm out of there tonight, man. Right. So, I mean, that's what you're looking for profit. Right. Are you looking for profit? to profit off your home? Yes. Yes, I am. And I'm not actually looking for it. If somebody, if you have a gun and somebody said, man, I just love that. Would you ever sell it? Well,

I mean, for the right price. How dare you? What do you mean the right price? You're a businessman now. Yes, you're a businessman now. Yeah. Okay. So all of this is happening because the 22, That was passed. Yeah. Yeah. It was passed and it is, what is it called the, it's like the really super good and safe law. I don't have it in front of me here. But it was a new law passed by Congress to keep us all safe. Keep it all. I mean, common sense safety laws, you know. And basically what it said is the exact same thing it says in every piece of land. legislation now, the secretary of the ATF, the head of the ATF, can decide on the rules. We just want you to keep us safe. And so the ATF has said, oh, okay, well, we're going to keep you safe by closing that gun show loophole by making sure anyone who ever sells a gun has to prove to us that they're not profiting off of it.

which is an insane standard. Insane. How would anyone even prove that? Insane. I mean, yeah, you can say, I bought it for this. And I'm, see, they're, like, they're doing, they do this with tickets sometimes, right? Where you buy tickets and they say you can't sell them for above face value. Is that the standard they're going to use for this?

I mean, because obviously, like, a, a gun might depreciate after you buy it, right? So do you have to figure out what the, like, well, that sounds like you'd be a business. I mean, honestly, that's much more business-like. You know, I'm like, I don't know. I mean, I looked on the internet. Probably you could get one for about this price. You know, I'll sell it to you for a little bit less or a little bit more. That's what the average person would do.

But if I have to go, well, now, wait a minute. Let's really look into it. Doesn't that make me more of a business? Seems like it. Seems like it. Okay. So this is, I love this. This is from the ATF director.

an increasing number of individuals engaged in the business of selling firearms for profit have chosen not to register as a federal firearms licensee as required by law. Instead, they've sought to make money through the off-book illicit cells of firearms. They're illicit? Yeah, well, of course they are. So why wouldn't you just go after the people doing the illicit things? If it's already illegal. Elicit means.

Elicit means something else. Okay? It doesn't mean that it's illegal. I guess it doesn't have to be illegal. I guess it does. Forbidden by law. Look it up. Forbidden by law, rules or custom.

Okay. So maybe they could go with a custom. See? And that's what businesses do. They do custom things. Right? That's not that. It's a different usage of that word.

Yeah. Well, okay, Webster. Thank you for stopping by. So they make. money. So notice it is, it is clearly, they are clearly going after and saying, these people are trying to make money on the off book illegal sale, illicit sale of firearms. These activities undermine the law, endanger public safety, create significant burdens on law enforcement, and are unfair to the many licensed. I didn't read that. I didn't read that.

before and make it unfair to the mini license dealer who make a considerable effort to follow the law. So now they're doing this. Yeah, because the FFL is so, they're really working hard to keep us safe. They've been vilifying these people who are selling guns for decades. And now they're the good guys for this particular moment? A crap heap. ATF has issued rules that would apply more security checks on gun owners and sellers. who use unregulated stabilizing braces to effectively transform pistols into more deadly rifles.

So here's what they have to do now. To be able to enforce this, they have to have a gun registry. And the ATF has started a federal gun registry. Can't do that. Congress has been against that since 1791. It's constantly, constantly in a new... They don't care. This is why you have Congress, you have the presidency, and the Supreme Court.

All of our problems stem around two things. One, Congress has stopped doing their job. And I'll tell you why they did it. Because they just want to be reelected. That's it. They don't want to do anything unpopular. they just want to be the ones that you call up and say, hey, good job, or you got to stop these guys so they can be the police.

Except they're not really the police. Have you seen Congress actually go after the bad guys in the government? I haven't. Have you actually seen them stop really bad things? Because I haven't. What they did was say, you know what? We're going to pass that good and plenty. law, that everybody should be good and have plenty of everything.

And we're going to, we're going to transfer that good and plenty law for interpretation by the secretary of that division of the United States government. So the cabinet secretary who, you know, the good and plenty law now enables, he's like, good, okay, I'll tell you how we're going to make everybody good. we're going to shoot you in the head if you're if you're bad. I mean, this is obviously an exaggeration, but that's what the secretary can do. The secretary makes the law and the enforcement and everything else. That is the job of Congress.

Congress, the reason why we're having these problems is because they didn't want to be held responsible for anything. They gave up their power. and they gave it to the administrative state, which now means the presidency, the administrative state, is actually the state. Congress is just like something you would put in your curio cabinet. It was something, honestly, I should have all of the members of Congress in the Senate, and I should lock them in the American Journey Experience vault. It's a cute little curio from a time gone by that is no longer of any use. Let's just put it on the shelf.

That's really what it is. And the reason why you feel so powerless is because of that. When I say the ATF director, you know his name, when I say, you know, the secretary of defense, do you know his name? Maybe, maybe, most don't. He's doing something wrong. We got to get him out of there. What power do you have? What power do you have?

You have the power of Congress going to Congress and say, you got to remove this guy. Oh, that's happening all the time. Look at how corrupt and how out of control our government is. They won't cut anyone's salary. They won't fire anybody. They won't hold anybody responsible for anything. that's why you feel so powerless that's why your entire life feels like you're standing in line get ready to get your driver's license and when you get and you've been there for three hours and

you get to the front of the line and they're like this window's closed and you're like wait but hold it you have nobody to go to because their word is the law this is what's happening this is unconstitutional in a myriad of ways. This is why we need the Raines Act. And I know this is like, oh, he's talking about the Raines Act. Wake me up when he stops. The Raines Act gives the power back to Congress.

Why do you want Congress to have that power if they're so bad? Because they are so bad, they never get anything done, which allows the states and you to regulate your life. It allows you in your city to regulate instead of the government saying, yeah, we're going to put everybody's name on a registry. By the way, this is so inflammatory. They know what this causes. This causes all kinds of agitation. This causes all kinds of distrust.

And they're never going to come for guns. Do you believe they'll come for guns? They'll actually go door to door. God, I hope not. Because that's, I don't want to live in a world. That's what. What happens? The worst things possible happen.

Okay, good. Thank you. He's being very, very careful, which I never am. That's why he'll be testifying against me at some point. Oh, I can't wait. I know. But you're right.

Americans, there's 350, almost 400 million guns now. I think it is 400 million. Yeah, 400 million guns. We're not Sweden. We're not Australia. That ain't going to work. Americans do know their First Amendment rights. and you're just never going unless you want a civil war.

So if they want to come and get the guns, they are declaring war on the American people. That's scary, but I mean, they, like this is something they say, they always say, oh, we love the Second Amendment. What are you talking about? And then they do this stuff all the time. You know, the main difference between somebody

who does something full time and somebody who only does it, you know, as a hobby? Well, I do this full time. Stu looks at his job more of a hobby. Which one do you want? You know, don't answer that question. So in the field of real estate, you want somebody, you know, that has maybe gone into the Hall of Fame.

You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Sure. Because it's hard to get in there. It is hard to get in there. That's why you shouldn't be in there. I know. We always thought it was hard to be in there. Wow, someday you could be in the Hall of Fame.

No, apparently it's not like, you know, the NFL Hall of Fame or... Every organization has a misstep, you know, and this is just their very public misstep. I was talking about real estate agents. Can you please? So I started this real estate, this Hall of Famer started Real Estate Agents I Trust.com. So you'd have an easier experience. You'd be able to trust somebody. I swear to you, I saw, oh, what was it? I saw something just recently from a real estate ad where it was, again, no master bedroom. It was an owner's bedroom. And I, master, master bedroom.

I can't take it. Owners bedroom. I know. And if I go into a house and I'm walking around with a real estate agent, they say, say, this is the owner's bedroom. I don't trust them anymore. I don't trust them anymore. Unless they look at me and go, this is the owner's bedroom. Real estate agents, I trust.com. Find the right real estate agent that you can trust.

This is a fascinating story from earlier this week, Glenn, I don't think we touched on. But if you remember back to the Heller decision, this was the big gun rights decision back in was it, 2008, 2008, 2009 in that region. It allowed guns. You could actually have a gun in your house and you could defend yourself. A DC-based ruling. Yes. Now, of course, what do these cities do when they get a bad ruling from the Supreme Court? They just try to go around it.

They go around the Constitution, around the courts, and pass laws that everyone knows are also unconstitutional because of the previous ruling, but they do it anyway. New York is in the middle of doing this as well right now with guns. But so they passed all these laws and they made it very difficult for people to own guns. One woman, she's Maggie Smith, she's going from North Carolina. She's driving through D.C. gets pulled over. Oh, boy. Normal stop in 2014.

And she has no criminal record. As she gets pulled over, she tells the officers, by the way, I have my weapon in the car. They promptly arrest her. They seize her gun. They take her to jail. Another guy, Gerard Kasignol, he was from Maryland. he was driving home from his job in northern Virginia when he got pulled over in the district when police asked whether he had a gun in the vehicle he said yes gave them the combination to the

lock safe where he kept it oh my gosh it was even in a lock safe dragged to prison um by the way they lost their jobs had all sorts of uh lost a security clearance in one of these cases finally this is wound through the courts they've complained about this filed a suit against against DC and were awarded 5.1 million dollars this week I mean good good good At least there's some, I think it was $5.1 million total for six different people. Oh, that's not enough. But at least it's something. Yeah.

At least it's something. And at least kind of a good news at the end of that. And, of course, yet another precedent may now have to break with another new law. But at least now we're aware that you're not allowed to do those sorts of things. The Glenn Beck Program. So I told you earlier this week that, you know, about that young kid Jaden, who had his Gadsden flag patch on his backpack in Colorado everywhere now. Story has been viewed millions and millions of times. But here's the most interesting thing about that story.

In the end, the school reversed its policy. Why? Why? Because he was informed and his mom was informed. We can reverse woke programming in schools if kids and parents stand up and know what they're talking about. It has to come from a place of being really informed. Jaden pushed back because he knew the truth. And one of the reasons he knew the truth was because he's been reading Tuttle Twins books.

I mean, this is the best endorsement ever. If you want your kids and your grandkids to be pushing back against the stuff in a healthy way, you need to get them reading the Tuttle Twins books. Make a difference in the lives of your kids right now. Help them stand up for what's right. Act now. Tuttle Twins, Back to School special. 70% off their normal price.

Tuttle twinsbeck.com. Do it now. Tuddlewinsbeck.com. Of course, one of the main reasons you know about that story is because of the Blaze. BlazTV.com slash Glenn. Promocode is Glenn. Save 10 bucks. Okay, so the Department of Justice has successfully convinced a jury to convict five pro-life activists for demonstrating at a controversial abortion clinic. this abortion clinic is, there is footage of one of the, I guess, nurses telling this patient that you really got to take the Xanax before you meet with the doctor.

Take the Xanax. Takes the Xanax. That is the nurse giving this woman Xanax before she goes to meet to give her final decision on abortion. I don't know. I don't know. That seems a little wrong. you know. So one of the women, Lauren Handy, she's 28 years old.

She, you know her because she was the one who came in and said, hey, I have a bucket here. And in the bucket are babies. And it comes from this abortion clinic. And no one did anything. She was investigated. No one did anything about the abortion clinic. Okay.

That's illegal in, I don't know how many different ways. So she went to this clinic and she took John Hinshaw. He's 67 years old. Heather Idonie, she's 61, William Goodman, 52, Herb Garrity, 25. They each got a $350,000 fine and now are facing, 11 years in prison. So let me see if I have this right. You can

you can beat within an inch of his life Andy no. And there's no penalty. You can riot in the streets, set fire to buildings. No penalty. One person got a fine

and four years was it four years in jail because they burned down a police station four years. However, if you move a barrier or a fence at the Capitol, you'll get 17 years

because you're a terrorist. You moved a fence. Now, they say because he was a ringleader moving the fence. Okay, what about the guy we have on video that the Department of Justice isn't even looking for that actually cut the fence and rolled it up on video?

We have it. Now, they're not even looking for him. Now, a leading, I'm sorry, leading medical groups for OBGYN. They have just explicitly endorsed abortion without restrictions. Now remember, Democrats will tell you, nobody's asking for that. Nobody's asking for that.

These are the same people that said it was the Republicans and the conservatives that wanted to reimagine the police and fire all the police. No, not true. Not true. the OBGYNs said abortion is safe. It improves and saves lives.

It improves and saves lives. What was it? 60% or was it 80% of women who have had an abortion? I think it's 80%. Said that they wish they wouldn't have aborted the child if they had some lifeline. If they had somebody in their life that said, Please don't do this if they had if they had a way to be able to afford the baby.

So it's not improving their life. And it's certainly, I mean, you can't say you're saving lives because you're killing. So even if it does save mom, it's a wash. And it must be available, I'm quoting, without restrictions, without limitations, and without barriers. It's just as critical as any other part of health care. Huh. That's fascinating. It is commonly used, those who say they want to restrict access,

commonly used to strip access to abortion from patients such as theirs and prevent clinicians from providing people with, with evidenced-based health care. Evidence-based health care. What kind of health care is not evidence-based? I would say abortion. You're claiming that's not a baby. It is.

You're claiming that it, you know, it's not human. It is. You're even saying no restrictions, no limitations, so I can kill that baby at the moment. of birth. No, that's not evidenced health care. That's infanticide. That's murder. That's what that

is. The vast majority of people do not agree with this. Vast majority. What's the number on that, Stu? For the... Almost at birth.

No restrictions. I will say there's polling all over the place on this issue. I think the poll you're talking about is the number was 33% said the abortion was wanted. 43% said it was accepted but inconsistent with their values and preferences. 24% said the abortion was unwanted or coerced. So it's 67% say they had a problem with it later, basically.

But I'm asking, I'm sorry. Thank you for that. I'm in a new number. Sorry. I was looking up the old number. I know. Yeah. I want a new number. And you probably know this off the top of your head.

the number of people that are for late-term abortions. Oh, yeah, it's very low. Third term abortion, I want to say it's 14%. 14. Yeah, it's about 80% are opposed to it. When you talk about second trimester abortion, the number against it is, I think, 67%. So it's overwhelmingly, the only time you see it at all approved is in that first trimester. And the number is

slightly positive. And apparently the American College of Obstetricians and gynecologists, they represent 60,000 OBGYNs here in America and South America. 60,000, they're fine. They're fine. You know, they're fine. They're fine. You know, what do people know? What do people know?

We're doctors. We know. We know. that we can kill the baby at or just before birth, no limitations, no barriers. That's insanity. Yeah. I mean, no one really supports that. So looking at it here, one of the most recent polls from Gallup, so 60% approve in the first three months of the pregnancy, only 28% in the second and only 13% in the third. That number is bounced between 8 and 14. for a late-term abortion.

But, I mean, only psychotic abortion supporters believe this. Even when you talk about pro-choice people, the overwhelming majority of pro-choice people oppose this thing that is central to democratic policy. And they lie about it every time.

They lie about it. We saw Jensocki and Al Franken both come out the other day and say, no one supports this. And then, of course, it's easy to point out that dozens and dozens and dozens of Democrats on record, a major, you know, OBGYN group is now coming out and saying that. I mean, this isn't something we looked up to say, no, Jen Saki is wrong. This is today's news. This is today's news.

So they told you yesterday nobody is for it. Here's major medical groups saying they want unlimited. no barrier abortions. And by the way, when you look globally, every European country looks at this differently than we do. I mean, basically every single one wants restrictions, more restrictions than we have now. Quite honestly, you know why?

Because we have lost our souls. It's hard not to see it any other way. You have to, it's the same way I look at people back in the times of slavery. And you're just like, well, how did you sit here in justice? If I, oh, those people have different color skin. We should, we should imprison them and make them work on our farms. I can. It's like, how did anyone look at that as possible, as an okay thing to do?

I can understand. I don't agree with it. But I can understand first trimester, you know, 12 weeks, below 12 weeks. I can, I can understand. You're like, oh, well, it doesn't really look like a baby yet in most of that time. I disagree. Yeah. But I can understand your point of view.

Okay. there is no medical reason to kill a baby just before birth. None. You're going to have to birth it anyway. It's not going to stay in there forever. It's just going to be dead. It's just the question of whether you want this thing to be alive or not.

That's it. When you're talking about third trimester, there's really no sane line there. No. It's just people who don't want to think about it, which I guarantee was the same thing back in the day with slavery. Oh, yeah. They were like,

I don't even think about it. I guarantee that's how a lot of people felt. They just didn't want to talk about it. They didn't want to think about how horrible it was. It was something they just kind of hoped. They never had to really deal with. Obviously, not, you know, the majority of people didn't have slaves themselves. It was just a, you know, a law that was around.

And then, like, people just kind of accepted it as part of what we did. And that's the same thing with abortion. When you, when people think about it, when you really get them down and ask them, 13% of people support this. And that's, by the way, 10, 12 weeks before the line the Democrats want. Right? Like the Democrats are saying,

we want it to the last minute. The third trimester is a three-month period. You might include, you might get someone who thinks, I guess in the seventh month it's okay. I mean, I think you're crazy, but okay. That's a different line

than someone who's saying six seconds before birth, it's okay. And that's where the Democrat Party is legally. And no matter what they tell you, and this is, this is a blood sport. This is there, it is craven.

It is craven. It is craven. A bloodlust. There is, I'm sorry, but you cannot go here and, and not see evil on the other side. I can understand disagreements. I can understand compassion at a certain point. You know, hey, if she was raped or she incest and yeah, yeah, I understand, but I'm not going to force my viewpoint on, again, I disagree.

It hurts me to disagree with that. It really does because the compassion side of me kicks in. And only because I don't know the baby. That's the only reason why is because you don't, you don't see the baby. You don't think you only see the suffering. At 15 weeks, babies now, we now know they feel pain. so you're going to cut up a baby that feels the pain. I'm sorry. Incomprehensible. As you point out, there's nuanced parts of this conversation.

Like, you know, pre-heartbeat is one. Yes, it is. The morning after pill is another one. You don't even know if you're pregnant or not. There's all sorts of nuanced parts of this conversation. This is not one. This is not one of them. This is not one of them.

It's disgraceful and it's honestly revolting. And this is happening. because too many of us would not say anything in the past. This happened. This got here because people, quite honestly, like me, in positions like this, failed to say anything because it was controversial. Nobody wanted to talk about it. It would hurt the ratings, whatever. Not the sexiest programming. Yeah, it's not.

So Walt Disney, they are turning that company right around, I'll tell you that. They've learned a lesson. According to variety, they have just made Biden's former national press secretary, a vice president of media relations.

Now, why would an entertainment company hire a political guy from this White House? I mean, the only reason why you would hire somebody from the White House is because, you're looking for insight or you're looking for protection or you're looking just what's coming, how do I navigate all of this. But this guy is going to be responsible for developing the cross-brand messaging and communication strategies for Disney and all of their properties. Are you kidding me? Disney, I think within 10 years, Disney could be a thing of the past.

Could happen sooner, could happen a little later. But if they stay on this path where, you know, Snowy, white comes out and goes, yeah, that story was crap in the old days. That's why I'm beer drinking and I'm a guy. And we got rid of the prince and the seven dwarfs. They're all tall, skinny. Nothing wrong with them. I mean, you know, except the fact that one of them is heterosexual.

It's over. The Glenn Beck program. Dude, do you ever go to the range? Do you ever shoot a gun? Yeah, occasionally. Occasionally. Occasionally. You a good shot?

I would not say that. Okay. I mean, I would say I'm terrible, but, you know, for my level of experience, I think I'm all right, but not as good as you. Definitely. So, uh, thank you for telling me that. So if I am ever robbing houses, I'll know I could be shot in the head and the foot. You could shoot yourself.

Oh, all that is very possible. Yeah, very possible. Look, you have to, you have to be a good shot. If you own a gun, you, you owe it. If you're hunter to the animal, you, you, owe it to yourself. And if you're not a good shot, you don't know what you're doing. It's just not a good thing. Mantis X can help you practice. I mean, you know, Stu and I've done this in the studio where, you know, just like taking the gun and without any bullets in it and dry firing it. And

If I'm going to be tough on them, I let him know this is not going to be a walk in the park. I'm going to ask him the tough questions. Vavake from Vovake 2024 in 60 seconds.

And it might take more than one episode here. First of all, hello. And my first question, yeah, my first question is, please will you verify that it is the vague like cake? That is correct.

Thank you. The vague like cake, Ramoswami. Okay. That one is an easy one, go ahead. Yeah, well, I know. I know. Well, they're going to get harder from here. Wikipedia editor

alleges that you paid to have your Wikipedia page edited to remove you receiving the Paul and Daisy Soros fellowship for new Americans and your role in Ohio's COVID-19 response team. Is that true? Hang on. Is that true? And if it is, why? So before I ran for president, there were a lot of falsehoods on my Wikipedia page. And it was clearly being, and it is actively over the course of this campaign, been manipulated by

opposition research. It said things like, at times, me being born in India, my wife and facts about her that were incorrect, up to it including her name. And so before I ran, yes, I wanted to make sure that the public was aware of exactly what the right facts were. The fact of the matter is the Ohio COVID-19 response team wasn't actually ever a formally titled body. There was a lieutenant governor in Ohio who remains a friend of mine to this day who asked me if he could call me from time to time to get basic advice through the process. I said, sure I would. I helped him with the reopening plan. That was a short version of the help that I provided him. So I'm actually proud of that. When a lot of these states were going through lockdown, there was a path to reopening. I'm

a business guy. He called me for advice on that. I was pro reopening. And to this day, people can call him. I'm sure he would say the same thing. Did you ever... We had a few phone calls about it. Did you ever go for lockdowns, mandates? Nope. None of that. Absolutely not.

Okay. I've been dead set against it. And I was a force for good in the state of Ohio here. John Houston said, I'm sure, would confirm that who was the person on the receiving end of those phone calls that I made. Why wouldn't you just have them, I mean, because you were on the response team as much as there existed a response team. You did get the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New America. It's easily findable on the internet. It's like literally...

But why would you remove those things instead of clarifying? I think the truth is that that headline was itself generated to create this appearance that were somehow manipulating this. There was about five other just outright false things. And you know what? I wasn't micromanaging what exactly this page is edited or not. What you want is actually a statement of what's important coming up first in your heading. So if somebody else has gone out of their way in the early paragraphs of your description to the world

at the age of 37 having achieved a lot of things, and the first thing is some random scholarship you got at the age of 24, that's manipulation. And one of the things I've learned in this process, Glenn, is there's a lot of left-wing media manipulation, but there's media manipulation 360 degrees driven by not just fake news media, but a lot of fake establishment candidates, too, who are threatened by my rise. Literally, Wikipedia, even to this day, it's like a war on my Wikipedia page. No, I know. Please.

And so my view is we've got to just speak the truth. Okay. So I've actually been completely transparent about the silly Soros scholarship that's a brother of George Soros not related to him at the age of 24 that I want easily Googled, a generic scholarship that I would have had to have been a fool to turn down at the age 24 from a guy who's long dead, who's a totally different person from George Soros, when. when I'm in my early 20s. Okay. And I don't cast aspersion on others, but there are other candidates who have gotten $160 million loan from Soros, others who have been endorsed. And so, you know, I think that we can play this silly game, but I think it's important

that we stick to the fact. Okay. So it is George Soros's brother, and they are not, I mean, they are related, they're related, but they do not share the same outlook on taking over the world, is my understanding. Now, the, but there, but there is something here that you, when in answering this, you said, I took the money at a time when I was young. I didn't have a lot of money. But at that time, at 24, I think you were making $2 million a year.

Well, there's a small little fact there. One is, that was the following year that I made it. So at the time that I applied for the scholarship, I got my first big, the first big payday ever I got is actually the year end bonus that I got, the year that I applied. for that scholarship. It wasn't a need-based scholarship. So one thing I'll say, Glenn, is even if I did have a million dollars post-taxed in the bank account, I still would have been a fool to turn down $50,000 of a merit-based scholarship that other kids who are going to Yale Law School are winning. Whether or not you have that money, I still say advise the 24-year-old version of myself to take it,

but I did see that false headline. How do people know this, Glenn? It's worth double-clicking on that. People know this because I released 20 years of tax returns in the early weeks of this campaign, something that no presidential candidate has ever done. This is unprecedented transparency. And, you know, of course, no good deed goes unpunished. But we're actually running this campaign with unprecedented transparency because that's the way we're going to run the government. So I published something that, you know, from Trump on down, nobody's ever done it, put up 20 years of tax record, someone as wealthy and successful as I've been, that's against the better advice of advisors. I said, no, we're going to do that. Someone then picks on that and says, oh, well,

didn't that year you earn it. You get paid a year in bonus. That was the first year I ever made real money. That was after I had applied for that scholarship. But I'll always contend with the facts. And those are the facts there, Glenn. So the next question that's being brought up is the WEF tried to name you as a young global leader. You were on their website.

You eventually had to sue. I'm not going to ask this question because it's already been asked and answered on this program. And you can find that on this program. We went into great detail about it. And we sued them in one since then, is the answer, and held them accountable to make sure they would never do it, not just to me, but even people like you, Glenn, or people like Elon Musk or others, who have also been opponents that they've tried to name in different capacities. Well, here's the thing that I... We've got a hard commitment from them. Here's the thing that I take issue with.

I believe it came from your camp that I was also nominated for some award or something from Soros or the W. and I can tell you that's not true because, I mean, I would have taken it because, I mean, do I get to go over to the ski lodge? What comes to? Right. Elon, Peter Kiel, a bunch of these other folks have been named on there. And I thought last time when you and I spoke on the air, you referenced them referencing you in some way. Oh, yeah, no, their hatred. They're hatred of me.

Yeah. They're hatred. No, I mean, it's not a big deal. I know. Anyway, there's a clip going around recently of you asking Al Sharpton, on MSNBC, people are using this clip to claim that you at least used to be a Democrat. Were you? Did you switch? What made you switch? Yeah. So I will tell you, I'm not, I did not come out of the birth canal spouting Republican

talking points. That much is for sure. So that clip from 2003 when I was 18 years old in my freshman year of college, I wasn't a Republican. That's for sure. Now, MSNBC hosted all the Democratic primary candidates. I said, you know what, I'm going to go check it out. I asked him a question, and I said, hey, why should I vote for you in the primary if, you know, you're the least experience, which is an experienced policy, which is a funny question and ironic on many levels, given that I'm an outsider running now. But the truth is I didn't vote Democrat. I voted libertarian that year. You don't know why. I didn't love George Bush. I was dead set against many of the George Bush policies. I was against the war in Iraq at that time, as I am today. I went on to be against the 2008 bailout. That's why I didn't vote for John McCain or Barack Obama. I was disillusioned, Glenn, from both parties. And so in that election, in 2004, I voted for the libertarian candidate because I couldn't stand John Kerry or George Bush. I came to my views, and I was disillusioned from politics from most of my 20s.

Obama McCain, Obama Romney, even. I didn't find these figures inspiring. But I came to my views through my experiences, Glenn. When I was a biotech CEO, when I had to make or was supposedly forced and I refused to do it, to make a statement on behalf of Black Lives Matter while I'm developing medicine that are saving people's lives and I refuse to do it. And that puts me in a difficult position in my industry as a leader. Those are the kinds of experiences that shaped my vehemence in crusading first, not even in politics, but against this trend of woke capitalism and stakeholder capitalism and ESGs, they separate

business from politics. That's where I began, not in partisan politics. And even now, I'm not a party man, Glenn. I'm using the Republican Party as a vehicle to advance a positive, nationalistic, pro-American vision for this country. And so, you know, if people want somebody who was born in Republican jerseys and talks in Republican talking points, I'm not their guy, and I wasn't at the age of 18 either. I'm somebody who thinks independently. I'm a patriot who cares about this country and speaks the truth. And you know what? If I'm 18 years old and I'm exploring in college, yes, if there's a forum where somebody who disagrees with me, Al Sharpton shows up, I'm going to go up, show up, ask questions.

And yes, I did vote libertarian that you're guilty as charged. That's just part of who I am and people should know it. I need to know because I respect your time and I did this with Donald Trump and I had to leave questions on the table. But we'll have you back. Do I have two more minutes with you or four more minutes? I actually reserved 20 minutes for this. Okay. I'm a good show.

All right. So let me go back to this. In 2016, you not only were against Donald Trump, but you. actually made donations to somebody who is viriantly anti-Trump, a friend. Let me just correct you there on 2016. I was not anti-Trump. I just didn't vote in 2016 because I was deeply jaded and skeptical of all politicians. As I told you, heading into then, I judged based on results, and he delivered for this country,

and I voted with him with pride in 2020. So you what happened. But you gave $2,700 to act blue. I'll tell you what that was. Okay. Yeah, I had no idea who this individual was. She's in the biotech industry. And, you know, I'm a biotech CEO, right?

I'm invited by the biotech industry association's head of a friend of a friend saying there's this doctor who's running for Congress. Would you come? They dragged me out to a fundraiser. I showed up to state as long as minimal time as I could, but that was the entry ticket to go in. I frankly regret doing it because it's raised so many questions afterwards. I wasn't plotting to be a politician back then.

But the fact of the matter is, if you're, you're a CEO, you get dragged around a lot of fundraisers in New York City. That was one I got dragged into and the ticket price is one that I wrote to get in. So that's the long and the short of it. I couldn't even tell you the name of the person who it was. Okay. In the debate, you said that Trump was, quote, the greatest president of your lifetime. I said the 21st century is what I said.

Okay, all right, 21st century. I don't think about it for lifetime because Reagan was also during my lifetime. Okay. Greatest president in the 21st century. if he's so great, why bother running against him? Well, look, this is a good question, Glenn. And I believe I can take the America First agenda further because I've got fresh legs, because I hope to God that my best days are still yet ahead of me,

I can see a country whose best days are still yet ahead of itself. And look at the way we're running this campaign, Glenn. This can't be a 50.1 election. I am the only candidate in this race who can win. in a landslide. We've gone to the south side of Chicago. We've gone to Kensington in the middle of the inner city of Philadelphia. We're bringing young people, Glenn, along in droves. I have over 100,000 small dollar donors in this campaign. 40% of them, more than that, are first time ever donors to the GOP. Many of them are young. And so for so many reasons, this cannot be a razor

thin margin. Unlike many people, I actually do believe Donald Trump can defeat Joe Biden, but I think it'll be razor thin and tight. And I think it is dangerous for this country. If we get to a place where CNN and MSNBC are trotting out the winner the Monday after the election, this can't be one of those. This has to be a Reagan-1980-style moral mandate. I think I'm the only person who can deliver that by bringing young people along, leaving no state, no city left behind, no American and left behind. A multi-ethnic working class coalition is what we're building. And I will take Trump as my most important advisor and mentor in that first year in the White House. I'm convinced of that. And I think that's the relationship I'd like to have with him as we leave this country.

So you say you have, and now I'm out of time. Can you wait 60 seconds? I hate to do that. Or do you have to go? Yeah. I'm good. Okay. Wait 60 seconds. Let me do a quick commercial. Then I, one more question. Let me paint a happy picture. And I, I'm not usually one known to do that, but I think you like this one. Picture this. You wake up in the morning. You don't hurt. You go about your day.

You play with your kids, your grandkids. You go play golf or you're digging around in your garden, whatever. You stand on the dance floor with a person that you love and you don't hurt. That's the key. You don't hurt. You don't have to think, oh, I'm going to pay for this tomorrow. Relief factor exists to give you back the life you love. So you've been living with pain for any extended period of time.

Please try something new. Try relief factor. Three-week quick start, 1995. It's trial pack. It attacks inflammation in our body, which is the major source of pain in four different directions. Ibuprofen really does it one way. About 70% of the people who have ordered Relief Factor, now over a million, go on to order more month after month.

And they reacted really well. What you may not have seen was afterwards, I asked some of the leaders and I asked people that watched and they said this, I love him. But he doesn't have a chance because he's not Christian. And I don't think people

are ready for a Hindu president. You are going to have pushback, if you don't already, from Christian groups that may not. Or they'll sit out. You can't lose the Christian vote. You say you believe in the same one God, but that's not Hindu. Glenn, what I've said is we share the same value set in common. My faith is there is one true God, and yes, that is Hindu. There's many branches of Hinduism, Catholicism to Evangelical Christians in the Christian tradition. There are many branches of Hinduism. The one I've been raised in and it is a widespread mainstream view is one true God. That's my worldview. But more importantly, this is a Judeo-Christian nation founded in Judeo-Christian principle. This is the fact of history. I think we need a commander

in chief who shares those values in common. And as somebody who has been educated in Christian high school, has, if I may say it, Glenn myself, read the Bible more closely than most of my Christian friends, I can say with certitude that we share the same value set. in common, of sacrifice, of duty, of a belief that God put each of us here for a reason, that we're here for a purpose, that there's more to life than just the aimless passage of time. Think about the common thread from the Old Testament to the New. God told Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac. He didn't make him follow through with it. In the New Testament, God sacrificed his own son. That value of sacrifice, that is woven into the fabric of this country. It is woven into my own

upbringing and value set, the same values we raise our two sons in. And I think, Glenn, especially because I'm a little bit different, I'm a little younger, I'm the youngest candidate to run, I'm of a different generation. Yes, I'm of a different faith nominally. I think I'm in a better position to defend religious liberty, to actually make concepts like faith and patriotism and hard work and family cool, again, actually, for the next generation of Americans. I take that responsibility seriously. So no, I'm not qualified to run for pastor. I can't. That wouldn't make any sense. But when I'm running for commander-in-chief, the question is, do we share the same value set that this nation was founded on? In my case, the answer is yes. We live our life accordingly. And the standard

I want everyone, including every Christian in this country to hold me to is, do I want my two sons to grow up and be like him? Whoever that is in the White House. I think that's a standard we should apply. If we're being really honest, it's been a long time. At least I'll speak for myself, where we had a president where I could, without holding my nose, tell my kids the same two things. And I think a lot of Christians across the country would say the same thing. That's the standard that I'll ask to be held to. Vavake Ramoswamy, I'd love to have you back. I've got some questions on China and everything else, but thank you so much for answering these questions. You bet. Vavake Ramoswamy. Vovake Ramoswamy. The vague like cake. Can people please get it right.

program. Cheryl wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Green. She says, I was actually skeptical that this would have any effect on my dogs, but the difference is unbelievable. I ordered it when my 11-year-old dog had to have surgery and wasn't doing well. Within a week's time, she was playing like a puppy. I am totally amazed how much better both of my dog's digestion has been as well. Thank you, Rough Green.

Cheryl, thanks for writing in. This is exactly the experience that I had with Rough Green's. I didn't know if it would make a difference. I just wanted my dog to eat. And this I knew made him eat his food. But the difference that he had an energy and his health, I think it gave him at least a year, maybe two years of good health. Where the other dogs who have not been eating this in my household, they slowly declined over several years. he's just he's older that he's the oldest german shepherd we've had and he's just started to

I wish we had more time to go deeper, because I had a few follow-up questions on each of those things. But we just had Vivek, like cake. Hey, like cake. People are saying

it Vavec. So much that I even started to question myself. That's why I led with, please verify. Vavec like cake. Yes, that's it. You knew this because you've had him on long before. He was running for him. And I asked him. And he said, Vivek like cake. And, you know, we had him on. It's interesting to see him kind of explode onto the national scene after having a long experience with him before this.

Like, we knew this guy. And like, look, you might not like him. You might not think he's old enough to be president. You might not like some of the policy proposals he puts out there. But look, he's number one, he's really good at this. I mean, we've seen candidates over the years who have tried to communicate conservative principles and have done. They haven't done one-tenth of the job that Vivek Ramoswamy does on this stuff. He's really good at this stuff.

He's good at running for president. He's going to be difficult to deal with in every one of these debates for these other candidates. And the other thing is he has really does have something to add to this conversation. He does come from a different perspective. He's a smart guy who does have a lot to add to this conversation. Whether you think he should be president in the United States is another story. You might like Trump better. You might like DeSantis better.

You might think he's too young. There's a million things you can come up with. But like, I would love to get to a point where primary season wasn't the dumbest season, where every single time you disagree with somebody who you disagree with on 95% of stuff, you have to freak out with and call them communists or fascists or whatever. It's like we have a wide menu of candidates that go from very, very conservative to libertarian-leaning, to very moderate. And that's a good thing.

Look at these people and make a decision based on what they're doing and what they say they want to do with the country. And you don't need to be, you don't have to treat everybody who likes another candidate like, you know, we're in the middle of the Cold War. I have to tell you, I don't think that there was a single person on that stage. Well, except for the guy from South Dakota, North Dakota,

because I just don't know anything about it. He has a good record as governor. He's very popular there. I don't know. I'll have to look into it. But anyway, I'd vote for any of them. I don't, there's many that I don't, I don't want to vote for ASA. I really don't want to vote for Chris Christie. But I will vote for them as opposed to anyone that is a part of what is happening right now.

They are, the other ones will just give us more time, maybe four more years. But at that same time, unless this, this is what is it. mistake this particular election, I believe. We are deciding right now whether what George Bush told me in the Oval Office, 2005, six, somewhere in that area, he said, it was the day Barack Obama said, I just fly jets into Pakistan and I bomb Pakistan. And I thought, that's not good. That's an ally right now. That's not good. And I said that to the president. He said, to try to reassure me, he said, Glenn, don't worry. No matter who sits behind this desk, they'll have the same advisors, the same advice, and they'll realize they don't really have

any other choice than this one. And I walked out going, that was terrifying. Why do we have a president then? Didn't make you feel better? No, it didn't make me feel better. And this is what Donald Trump did. He said, yeah, I've seen what you guys have advised us into. And no thank you. I'm going this way. We are deciding whether and the three that I think would actually make a difference. And I'm not, I want you to know, I trust you to make the decision.

I have my own opinions. I'll know who I'm going to vote for in the end and I'll vote for them just like you do. I don't want to influence your decision. I just want to bring you the information because I trust the American people. So I look at these guys. I'd vote for any of them. But there are three or there's three of them that I would go. Yeah.

Okay. Be happy to pull the lever. And all. of them have one thing in common. They are challenging the system, the entire system. Now, whether they actually get in there and do

it and close the Department of Education, I don't know. I didn't think Donald Trump would ever make Jerusalem the capital of Israel officially. Never thought that would happen, but he did. And

the only thing that changes our course and gets us off the course of total destruction is one that cleans house in the administration. A president who becomes all-powerful, you know, makes his administration even more powerful, does not help us at all because the next one that gets in, just going to reverse all of the edicts and everybody in the administrative state will, fight against that president like they did with Donald Trump. So we are deciding right now, are we going to rebalance the power and put the power of lawmaking back into the hands of Congress where it

belongs? Get rid of this all-powerful state. And I do want a powerful president, but I want a powerful president that deals with the administrative state. That's his realm. The president needs to say, gone. These are gone. I'm firing these people. Now, I don't know if we can, I mean, that's, you know, you have to fill probably four to 10,000 jobs as a president.

I don't know if you can fill all those people without having bad people get in. It can be very difficult. Very difficult. And look, I think, you know, Ramoswami has his strong points. I think he'd probably be pretty good at putting it together an organization like that. He's done it, obviously, in the private sector as well. It's hard. It's hard.

But, I mean, again, I think it's hard for any of them. Yeah. He doesn't have the background of, you know, of thinking about government all the time and having all those relationships. Probably a good thing, as, you know, maybe a lot of people would argue that Donald Trump had that going in. Right. But, like, you look at Ramoswami and you say, okay, he's the type of candidate. I think he's good enough at this as far as running for president.

Like I thought his debate performance was actually weaker than I thought it would be knowing him. Because he was a little obnoxious. He was a little over the top, maybe a few too many Red Bulls before the event. You know, like he wanted to. I think he was so worried about I need to make an impact because no one knows who I am. Right. That he came out essentially loud and tried to do that. Yes.

And he didn't realize that all the other candidates apparently decided they were going to come after him. Yeah. So it made it very easy. I've talked to a couple people who said, I kind of found him annoying in the debate. But when I've seen him in interviews since and said, you know, I really like him, he's really smart. He's really quick. And there's a lot to like there. On the other hand, like, we have to get to a point where we can look at these people and say, hey, like, let's say Donald Trump wins the president.

He's obviously the heavy favor to win the nomination. Let's say he becomes president. Like someone like Vivek would have something really important to offer to that administration. We don't need to make them into the enemy. That's why I don't like the feud between DeSantis and Donald Trump. Yeah. Stop it. It's silly.

It's silly. We need each other. Like you have to be able to criticize someone you're running against for president. You should be able to say, hey, I had this problem with Donald Trump's administration. Trump should be able to say, I have this problem with the way DeSantis has run Florida. Like that should all be on the table. It gets idiotic this time of year. Because everyone gets on their teams.

And I saw some of this, Glenn, in reaction to your Trump interview, actually. Because people who like maybe DeSantis or like Vivek were like, well, you didn't go hard enough on Donald Trump. Why did Glenn, you know, your interview, I think you'd say this, was much more difficult on Vivek than it was on Trump. Now, you've had. I went harder on Vivek because that's what I was going for. Right. Donald Trump, first of all, anyone that can navigate nine minutes with Donald Trump and get four questions in, you belong in the Radio Hall of Fame, okay? You don't have any idea what it's like to have nine minutes and four questions.

He goes. And you're talking to Donald Trump. I got four questions in. Yeah. And I didn't go hard. I mean, I thought I asked him. some really revealing questions. They weren't tough, but they were not softballs.

Hey, how'd you feel about the bad guys? Wasn't that. However, I saw a line, a lot of people are saying, you weren't tough on Donald Trump on COVID. Well, for two reasons. One, I've already done that in an hour-long sit-down with him. Already done that interview. I've done that interview.

And I'll do that again because I think there's some follow-up on it. But when you have the President of the United States in the news for being booked, the first one to be booked, and it's the next day, that's the topic of nine minutes of the things that come off of that. I will ask him more about Fauci and COVID, but I also am more interested in what is he going to do in the future. now that you see what happened to you, what happened to the country, if there was ever another pandemic, what would you do? Would you ever do those things again? Where did it go wrong? And he seems to be saying the answer to that would be no.

I mean, he's saying we will not comply with these regulations that a lot of people point out. He was very supportive of many of them at the time. Right. And look, those are fair. But that like, that's the type of thing that a primary is for. Right. Like, we talk about conservative principles all the time. It's easy to say conservative principles are better than what Joe Biden is doing. What the interesting part of this process is to be able to look at each individual's approach to these things and try to decipher which one you think is best. And, you know, that shouldn't be blood sport. Not just that. If you can trust any of them. If you can believe.

them. Do they have the record necessary to, you know, to earn your support? You know, people like to be, I don't like the idea talking about loyalty when you're talking about your vote. They need to earn your freaking vote. Every one of these guys needs to go out there, you know,

and ladies, Nikki Haley, has to go out there and earn your freaking vote. It's not theirs to lose. It's yours to give. And so looking at this process as something where you are able to keep your mind open and listen to these people, and not make it seem like it's, you know, eagles cowboys.

That's not how this should feel. It should feel like you're trying to understand which one is better. Obviously, in the Eagles Cowboys example, the Eagles are better. And I will tell you, we have great candidates. And America, I think conservatives know that. We're seeing it just in not research, just reading, you know, views from our, chats, you know, at Blaze TV and reading things that people write. We've never seen our audience more well-balanced in a primary, ever.

Yeah, really interesting. Really interesting. I've never seen a candidate who has divided the audience like Vivek as. What does that mean? I've never seen as close to a 50-50 split of people who love the guy and hate the guy. And it's fascinating to me because... Don't you think that was that way with Cruz and... I don't think it was 50-50.

You know, it was, our audience was overwhelmingly pro-crues during the primary. And when that was over, when the primary was over, they became, they got on the board with Trump and said, hey, we're big fans of Trump. You know, even with Donald Trump, there was always a split on Donald Trump and a passionate split and continues to this day. Right. Though at this point, it's overwhelmingly positive for Donald Trump as opposed to at the beginning, it was overwhelmingly negative.

That has switched. The vague comes right out of the shoot. And I feel like half the people love them and half the people don't. Like they, if he can get that number to 70, 30, he can win. I mean, general population. You're not doing anything if you're liked by everybody. Yeah.

You're just not doing anything, at least not doing enough to be able to save the Republic. You know, you've got to have opposition in all things. So it'll be interesting to watch. But I want your continued input and advice. because all I want to do is ask the questions that you want asked and answered, and not just from the opposing point of view, but also to highlight the strengths of each of these individuals. I'm trying to give a balanced look at each person. And persuader overlords that you are on their side. Oh, yeah, of course.

Absolutely. Sure. I mean, George is calling me a little while. I just don't know if it's Bush or Soros, but one of them is calling me. When one of our service members dies, by the way, if you're watching the blaze, I wore this sweatshirt today just to be ironic with Vivek. I'm wearing a London School of Economics sweatshirt. Anyway, one of our service members is injured catastrophically or dies in the line of duty, are veterans who have returned home to this country and end up homeless on the street,

who is reaching out with a deserved helping hand to get them back on their feet? I'll tell you who it is. It's Tunnel to Towers. This is one of the best charities I think out there. More of your dollar goes directly to the people you're trying to help than I'd say 99% of charities. $11 a month is what they're asking if you will help. Do good for the people who have done good for us. Tunnel to Towers T2T.org.

I mean, that is, thank you. Thank you. If you go into one of those abandoned houses, you never know what's around the, inside the doors. You better be careful. You might have a gun. Be careful.

You loot, we shoot. By the way, you could tell by the fact that there's no coverage of this hurricane and what the response was, that it must have gone really well. Because we haven't heard word one about it. And Joe Biden is, all of a sudden, he's taking a real interest in this one.

He's going down there to check off. Embarrassing. It's really bad. Really bad. Well, that's what campaign season is all about, I guess. I want to tell you about my, my podcast that comes out tomorrow with Alan Dershowitz, it is compelling. I ask him to take on every legal argument both side for all of the indictments on Trump,

and he does it. I'll tell you about it coming up. The Glenn Beck Program. This weekend, we celebrate the men and women who get up every day and work. American Giant was founded to keep Americans working, whether it will allow a clothing company, factory to close. A company was created so Americans could take pride in a hard day's work. They started producing

quality American clothing with American cotton and American workers. For Independence Day, they created a T-shirt that says American Made Across the Chess and then made a lot of them. They sold out in a couple of days. It's back starting today and limited quantities are

available now. The tag at the bottom of the hem of the T-shirt says, When you buy American Made, you create jobs for the sewers, the cutters, the factory workers in towns and cities all across the U.S. It's more than an income, jobs, pride, purpose, and the stitch that puts people together.

Welcome to aboard of Viarai. Embarked and profite. Embarked and relaxed. Syrotay. Bookiné. Oh, that also. And profite. Viaray, the voice that we love that we love. What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. Yesterday, I released a podcast for Blaze TV and audio listeners. You can get it at Blaze TV now.

It is with Alan Dershowitz. It comes out wherever you get your podcast on Saturday. But I asked Alan, can you please explain all of these indictments, all of these seven cases against Donald Trump? Give me both sides of what's happening and then tell me what you think is going to happen. It was unbelievable. Unbelievable. You don't want to miss this.

We're going to go through some of it here in 60 seconds. Ministry of Preborn is out to save babies from the horror of abortion, and they're doing an amazing job. 60% of women who've had an abortion admit after the abortion they would have preferred to give birth if they had more support. Man, that is why preborn is the... there. They are there for women in their darkest hour. They are not condemning them. They know that most of them don't want to do this, would rather not do this. They don't want to choose death for their child, but they don't know what else to do. Well, the first thing is make sure that mom understands that's the baby, so they have an ultrasound that introduces her to the baby, doubling

the chances that she will choose life. And when she does, Preborn is there to help. And, she has, Preborn is there to help with up to two years of additional support. And I mean, brand new baby clothing for two years, books, support, come in for counseling. I mean, it's really an amazing ministry. If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way? Your tax deductible donation of five grand would sponsor Preborn's entire network for 24 hours, helping rescue 200 babies. To donate, dial pound 250 on your cell and say the keyword baby, that's pound 250 keyword baby or go to preborn.com slash Beck. $28 is what an ultrasound costs.

Just to $28 can save a baby's life. Go to pound 250 keyword baby or preborn.com slash Beck, sponsored by Preborn. Real quick, I just want to give you an update. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, 81. had another public freezing episode on Wednesday. We talked about this.

Kentucky, it's up to you. You've got to stand up and just say, come home. Come home. His attending physician said in a statement that the senator is medically clear to maintain his schedule. I've consulted with leader McConnell and conferred with his neurology team after evaluating yesterday's, in this incident, I have informed Leader McConnell that he's medically clear to continue his schedule as planned. Quote, occasional lightheadedness is not uncommon in concussion recovery.

He wasn't lightheaded. He was having a neurological event. We are all very, very clear on this. My gosh, what these people won't do. That's incredible. I mean, it's amazing that anyone would believe that. Look, it's obviously he's had serious, serious problems. And, you know, people are like, oh, well, he just had this concussion because he fell down.

That's part of it. That's part of what happens when you get old. When things go downhill, you have falls that cause more problems, and then you try to rehab from that, and then new problems appear. This is why getting old is very difficult. Right. It's like, you know, you're 35 years old. You go in, and you can have... pneumonia, bad pneumonia, and you're fine.

You go in at 70, you have bad pneumonia. It'll kill you. It's a good shot. It kills you because it starts, everything starts to decline. And when you hit those things, you break a hip, some people don't ever really fully recover. You get a concussion. It's not like, even if he fully recovered, he's 81. He's 81.

I mean, he's not going to come back and be like, you know what, I feel 30 again. He's not. And this is not an ageist thing. This is, would you give him, in that condition, would you give him the keys to your car? Absolutely not. Why not? Because he would crash it. And hurt himself.

And others. Or others. Okay? And or others. Why would we give him the key? to our future. You don't think that a mistake can happen. You don't think...

I mean, the guy, you're in serious negotiations. I mean, think of the room that he's in. He's there with Feinstein and... Federman. And the president. And he's got to be thinking on his feet. My gosh. It would just be silent, maybe for an hour.

It could be. And look, this is not an anti-Mitch McConnell sentiment. I have plenty of problems with his policies and the way he does business. But I will tell you, the people who look like they might take over for him if he leaves leadership are as bad or worse. So I'm not necessarily

this is not about a policy change or I don't like Mitch McConnell. It's sad. It's sad when people go through this. It's really sad when they go through it publicly, but don't you have something else you want out of your life? I just don't understand this constant lust to

hold on to power. Don't You want to spend time with your family. Anything. Is there anything more important than being into another freaking committee meeting? Like, is there nothing else you want out of life? I mean, I know we're self-deluded a little bit and, you know, overstayed our importance. But, you know, I know how important this job is. Maybe too much.

You know, maybe I like, yeah, you're right. I don't know. But we know we have a job to do. But honestly, if it comes down to it, my family comes first. Yeah. My family comes first. I love you guys, but you lose. Yeah, you lose.

And you would understand that. And you would say the same to us. Yes. So that's the way it's supposed to go. Right. And like this is a grandpa, maybe a great grandpa who's got how many years of mobility left? I mean, seemingly almost none. He's falling over and having concussions.

That's so sad. Why wouldn't you, why would you claw and hold on to power instead of doing something that you can actually, it's the end of your life? I mean, I hate to tell everybody this. We all die. I know, I've been saying here recently, you have 4,000 weeks. Your life is 4,000 weeks for the average life. That takes you to about 76, okay? Average person. Four thousand weeks.

I'm down to under 1,000 weeks left. Good God, it's terrifying. It's terrifying. Thousand, and I don't want to be terrified. I just want to start checking the boxes. Yeah, do things that you enjoy that you think are important. Yesterday I went and I watched my son's first college football game as a coach. And it didn't go well.

But it's a turnaround team. Yeah. Turn around year. All new coaching stuff coming on. Yeah, rebuilding. But it was the greatest thing. It was the greatest thing to stand there and see him, you know, with his coaching stuff. It's like crazy.

It's incredible. I'm there and I get, Tanya gets a text message said, you have to see this. This is dress rehearsal for opening night for my daughter, who is in Oliver. And I listen to this like 30 seconds. I listen to this and I'm like, what the, who?

What? Listen to this. That is not my child. What? How is that possible? Yeah, our opening night is happening at a, place called artisan. And I mean, and honestly, I really feel like I have important things left to do, at least for me.

But if my daughter said to me, Dad, I just, I just need you by my side. Gone. I'm gone. My son, my two other daughters, gone, gone. I'm going to prioritize that over everything else. Especially at my age. I mean, I'm still relatively young. I'm not in good shape, but I'm, you know, 59.

Yeah, the 4,000 weeks is for average health individual. That's not you. I've got to, like, I mean, like, maybe 10 minutes. 10 minutes. So let me take this 10 minutes and share something that I think is really important. I want you to listen to what Tucker Carlson just said on the, Adam Carolla show, talking about what he thinks is coming. Listen to this and the conviction of this statement.

So they can't lose. They will do anything to win. So how do they do that? They're not going to do COVID. Again, I know everyone the rights are afraid they're going to do COVID and mask mandate. They're not going to do that. They can't do that. If they've already been exposed, that won't work.

There's going to be, no, what are they going to do? They're going to go to war with Russia is what they're going to do. There will be a hot war between the United States. and Russia in the next year. Really? Yes, of course. They want it anyway. I don't think we'll win it, but that's a separate analysis.

But I think it's a political matter they need to declare war footing in order to assume war powers in order to win. I believe that. And I think the evidence suggests that's true. So if you're worried about our politics getting like even more vicious than it already is and people being hurt in our politics, which is entirely possible, you should be worried about the prospect of an open war. We're already out war with Russia, of course. We're funding their enemies. So we're fighting Russia, but I mean, an open battle with Russia, where we say we're at war with Russia.

I think that could easily happen. You know, I think we could Tonkin golf our way into it, where all of a sudden missiles land in Poland. The Russians did it. Our enemy allies been attacked. We're going to war. I can see that happening very easily. So if you're worried about that, you need to put as much pressure as you possibly can. on the Republican-held Senate to force a peace, which can be done.

The United States could force a peace in Ukraine tonight. We're funding one side. There is no Ukrainian army outside of NATO. If NATO withdrew its support for Ukraine, Ukraine would crumble in a day. So we are the only power in the world that can bring both sides to the table to force a peace, which will be unsatisfactory as all forced pieces are. Like each side will give more than it wants, but that's the only option. Otherwise, I would bet my house on it.

We are going to war with Russia. And of course, the stakes are everything, our life on the planet. I mean, these are the two biggest nuclear arsenals in the world facing off against each other. Wow. Okay. I really like Tucker. I really hope he's wrong. I hope he's wrong.

I hope I'll take a mask band-aids all day, by the way. I've never hoped for a friend of mine to be a shill for Putin more than right now. You know what I mean? It's like, I really like him, but I want him to be so wrong. Maybe he's just hanging out with Putin. Maybe that's it. Yeah. I mean, it's, you know, but it is it is what I told you before Trump lost the election.

I said, here's what's coming. And we've done all of them except for the last one, war. He said war will come. And that's when it's lights out. That's when it all changes. And that's the way it always works. I mean, that's what Neil Howe said to us on Monday show, the guy of the fourth turning. He's like, it's war.

And the way he's talking there, you know, I do believe that that this administration wants this war. We've seen it. They keep doing the things that Russia keeps saying that's a red light. They're doing the things that they said would cause World War III. And I mean, I just, I pray that is not true, but man, I don't put it past people. Yeah. And I don't put it past people. And forget whether, let's just say they don't want this, they don't want war.

They're sane in some way. They're also incredibly incompetent. Like, they're really bad. at this and so whether they want it or not I'm terrified of them slipping into it in a way that they're not even intending you know how they said that Russia is backed into a corner because they don't have the troops they don't have the missiles etc etc yeah they they do they they have enough but if they're backed into a world war they will result to even tactical nukes okay they've said that

tactical nuke is still a nuclear weapon, okay? The other side is us. If we're losing a war and it means we use the worst of the weapons, but it means the saving of the republic, you don't think we would use them? We don't have the shell. We don't have just even the howitzer shells now. we don't have the people to be able to run our army on, you know, what?

At least one front, you think that's where it would end? It would be a two-front war in a heartbeat, in a heartbeat. I think what he's talking about here is, you know, people who are more in favor of the Ukraine war than Tucker is or you are, a lot of times we'll say, well, what are you going to do? just let Russia roll over Ukraine, you know, look, that would be ugly and they would do it. And there would be a lot of dead children, right? Like all it's, that's true. That being said, what we're arguing for, I think here, correct me if I'm wrong. It's a third option.

It's a third option, right? I don't want that to happen at all. I don't think, like, I, look, I think Ukraine has a real beef on what's gone on with Crimea and what's gone on this war. This is not, they're in the right on that, I believe. But all that being said, our priority is the United States of America. needs to be avoiding World War III. And these property assured destruction.

And like the lines between Ukraine and Russia, while important to Ukraine and important to Russia, is not the top priority of the United States of America. We need this to stop. So it doesn't spiral out of control into a place where people are firing nuclear weapons at each other. It needs to stop. Labor Day weekend is upon us.

after he died from cancer in a hospital here in America. But why quibble? And now, Florida, talking to victims about the hurricane, he can relate. Listen. I didn't know anything like that, but I lightly struck my house. We had to be out of that house for about seven months. I was repaired because so much damage is done to the house and half the house almost collapsed. Wow.

Lightning struck. It almost collapsed the house. out for seven months. This guy is never at his house. He's never at his house. Between the kitchen fire and the lightning strike. He's not even at his house when his son is chatting people in China that he is in the house. He has in the house.

We find out that he's not in the house. Not in the house. It's incredible how that works. And remember, you kind of brushed over that whole thing where he, you know, where he had the kitchen fire. He almost lost his corvette in that incident. His classic Corvette. Wait a minute. Just a second.

I know he didn't lose a child. but you're saying the Corvette was at stake? Yeah, and this is a, you know, I mean, I don't know about you, but a, but a 1971 Corvette, I'd lose my children like that over a Corvette. It's obviously more important, you know, from a collector's perspective. And he didn't have fire suppression or like really good security around that vet? Apparently not. Wow.

Yeah, it was a close call. What is he thinking? It was a close call. It really was. I mean, I keep my, I keep my vet in a play. I keep it in a vault because, not because of the secret documents that I have, you know, all around, just laying around next to the Corvette in boxes. But just in case, lightning strikes, you know, I want to make sure that it's safe. So, anyway, I am releasing a podcast tomorrow.

It's already available for Blaze TV subscribers. it is everything you need to know about all of the indictments on Donald Trump. I can't keep them straight. There's seven of them. There's two just on January 6th. Four indictments and then the other three are civil trials. Yeah. Well, there's seven trials.

Yeah. So, I mean, he's got quite a calendar. He does. He does. And I'm going to play some of these bits from Alan Dershowitz when we come back. But this is a must listen to. He said, I've been given on my podcast. I've been given bananas. And I said, what?

And he said, for Banana Republic. He said, you get to 10 bananas and you're done as a country. He said, we have six. And in the next few weeks, we could have seven or eight. We are close to losing the Republic. And they all revolve around these cases. And he takes us through each of the cases. And it is fascinating to listen to.

and Alan Dershowitz. That is the podcast. Wherever you get your podcast, it's available tomorrow. The Glenn Back Program. And, of course, available today if you're a Blaze TV subscriber.

about the pedophile Jimmy Seville, who was a big, big, big, big star in England. He was like a, for a long time, he was like the number one disc jockey on BBC and became huge charity guy and was, you know, helping them build children's hospitals. And the BBC finds out, he's molesting the children in the children's hospitals. And they nixed the profile. They, the investigative report, they said, no, we're not reporting on that. The guy who made that decision is now running CNN. Oh, I did not realize that. Wow.

I mean, because he goes back to the Times. He's at the New York Times for a while I was at the BBC. Yeah. You know, he's, I was talking to Steve Crackard yesterday who covers the media, wrote a book about it. And he was saying the guy's known as sort of like more of a businessman. Like he's not known as a guy who's making major editorial decisions. We'll see how if that holds or not.

But if you're making decisions like that, Yeah. It feels like that's the type of thing you do once and you never get another job, let alone the leadership job. They're like, I'm sorry, you can't work at Nathan's hot dogs. That's not, I can't sorry. Your judgment is way too poor. We would be using our product and we'd always be thinking about you and Jimmy Seville

and we just don't want anything to do with it. The Federalist has been punished again. they will not address anything, anything. Apparently, Instagram has slapped a false label on a report that was exposing the 14 American cities that are part of C40. And that is the, you know, the group of mayors that have said, you know, one of our, I'm going to get this exactly right. one of our one of our big plans or our aggressive goals yes aggressive goals that we've signed on to

is that you have zero meat eaten in your city zero meat this has this is in their words a desired goal and they keep getting fact checked on this as that's not meaning that they want to get rid of meat.

What do you? Desired goal. Desired goal. I mean, it's like my desired goal is to be number one in the ratings. Well, no, that's not what he wants. He doesn't want to do. What are you talking about? He's going to be number one. No, of course not. No, he wants to be last. Well, what? Because I think their line was it wasn't a formal policy proposal. Yes. Right? Like it was just a goal that they wanted. Yes. And they didn't necessarily identify exactly how they would get there, etc., which is a really stupid distinction. Yeah. It's a distinction without a difference.

It's an ambitious target. Yeah. An ambitious target means your goal. It means a desired goal. And if you miss the target, you're at least in the area. You're going in that direction. Right. Right.

It's just crazy. I think we use this analogy at the time, but it's like if you tell your wife, like, look, I have an ambitious target to hook up with our babysitter. I don't have a formal policy. I didn't ask her out on a date. Right. You know, she just, look, when she comes over, you know, it's my target. Yes, it's an ambitious target. She might not even go along with it, so it might not happen.

Right. But, you know, that's generally speaking what I want to do. And I want you to know, I'm working towards that. I mean, I'm putting in place different restrictions and everything else for you, for her to be here when you're not. Right, like when, for example, when she's not even watching the kids, I just have her come over. But how dare you accuse me of my... It's just like so ridiculous.

If you're the woman in this situation, you might have questions about such behavior. Yeah. So Marcy Parker, Darwin has announced that peanut her chicken has just turned 21, which makes peanut the chicken in Michigan the oldest chicken in the world that we know of. We know of. 21. Because a lot of them don't get carded. I know, I know. But yeah, he could, but peanut can drink can drink.

Can drink. So that's good. You got to give peanut a beer, don't you? I would. I would. On the 21st birthday. I would. You got to do it. Oh man, PETA is going to be all over you for just even suggesting that as a, what you claim to be a joke.

It'll give me a vegan beer. It's okay. Yeah. So there you go. So 21 year old chicken in Michigan, the happy. birthday to peanut. Happy birthday. Here's another story. California woman. Now, I want you to listen to this. And tell me what sticks out to you.

Okay. California woman known for her involvement in a failed multi-million dollar horse show that made headlines a decade ago has been charged with trying to hire somebody to kill her husband. Hmm. Okay. I have questions already. Okay. What failed multi-million dollar horse show? Okay, let me give you the headline.

The headline is, woman behind the infamous. Okay, which applies that we should know about. Right, right, okay. Woman behind the infamous acrobatic horse show. No, no. Woman behind the infamous acrobatic horse show fiasco. Oh, my gosh. Arrested.

This sounds like I want to see like a fire festival documentary on this now. What is this? Right? Right. This sounds incredible. Right. It does, doesn't it? Acrobatic horse show fiasco?

You have to go. That's a good band name. You have to. Rolls right off your time. The acrobatic Horse show fiasco. I totally see that in live. I'd see that movie.

Okay. So this is how it's brought up. Like three quarters of the way through. After that headline. Right. Three quarters the way through. Married in 2011. after talking about her trying to kill her husband.

Right. Married in 2011, the Remley's made headlines a year later after they were organized an elaborate multi-million dollar 45 show, equestrian acrobatics show. What happened? Like the horses were doing flips? The extravaganza was canceled after just a few performances. However, and its crew and performers were left empty hands.

handed and then it goes back into their attempted divorce and she couldn't divorce him so she was going to kill. I want to know what acrobatics were they trying to get the horses to do. Was it a tightrope act? Was it like Cirque de Soleil, but it was with horse? What happened? Did he did a horse, a Clydesdale wrap himself in a giant ribbon and spit? I don't know.

What's the name? What's the lady's name again? Wait, the performance was called. Dying to watch this now. Valatar, V-A-L-I-T-A-R. Right? I could care last about the husband. Right.

She goes to jail. I want to know about the acrobatic horse show. Fiasco. Wow. So there is an article from the San Diego Union Tribune. Okay. Valatar's epic collapse. Okay.

All right. So tell us. What were they doing? How did we miss this? America. We don't have our priorities right. We've been going on and on and on. Ah, Biden did this.

Biden did this. An acrobatic horse show? That's an ambitious target. Yes. They're not planning on doing it, but it's an ambitious target. Valatar said in a fantasy kingdom of sleek stallions and acrobatic equestrians was touted as a matchless spectacle. Even before the November 16th world premiere, this is 2013, by the way, under a massive crimson tent at the Delmar Fairground. the Ranchos Santa Fe producers were planning a 10-month five-city U.S. tour.

Mark and Tatiana Remley predicted a hit. It's like Cirque to Salae with horses. Okay, I got it. All right. Wait, this can be real. I got to see this. This is, our nation's top priority needs to be bringing this back. I don't know what it is, but I got to see it.

I mean, that's like, you know, by the end of the decade, we'll put a man on the moon and return. I want an acrobatic. That's a goal for America. I can't believe this. CERC diso-Lay with horses. How do they hang on to things? They don't have hands. I mean, it's got to be under the underarm, right?

Like, you got to kind of like, oh, you imagine they're on the blocks and then they jump down on the trampoline and then they kind of gallop back up to the block. This would be incredible. And then they jump down and they gallop back up on the block. Free this woman so she could start the show again. I want to, I mean, maybe your husband. Don't let the husband get killed until we get the plans. Oh, this is not.

The framing of this article I have questions with. It says, what type of show was it? A disaster. Valatar only had a five-day run. The Remley's putting it down after its November 20th performance. Oh, God. Journalism used to be fun. Oh, my gosh, because it didn't matter.

Look it up on... Wait, is there more? Insiders now say the real spectacle unfolded offstage and will soon move center stage. As a lawsuit filed against the couple raised questions about the ill-fated. show. The Remli's did not respond, but legal documents and people associated with Valatar describe a couple with lofty ambitions, but limited abilities. You know what? I have no sympathy. You're investing. You lost your money in a Cirque de Soleil with horses. I don't have sympathy. You're like, the horses are doing acrobatic tricks. I can't

believe it actually went off. Like they, it had five performances. You got to look it up. See if you can find it on YouTube. Now listen to this. The wife is experiencing extreme financial strain. She's unable to maintain her realistic monthly expenses of just $12,000 a month, much less than what she's accustomed to at $50,000 a month. She has no income, but she has this great idea.

In addition to the monthly stipend of $12,000 a month, Miss Remley demands access to one of their homes, two of their trucks, an ATV, and their pet parrot. She denies she tried to have her husband killed. Back in just a minute with the answer is this on YouTube.

I mean, my kids and I, we don't do that now. I mean, you can't. I'm crying. Every time they shoot a bullet, I'm like, oh, that hurt. Did it hit you? No, it's just so expensive. It's insane, thanks to overregulation and inflation. Thank you very much, federal government.

C. Married in 2011, the Remley's made headlines a year later after they

organized an elaborate multimillion $45 equestrian acrobatics show called

Valatar. Now, we have apparently found a commercial for this. I haven't seen it yet, but I'll describe it if you're listening on the radio. Go ahead and play that. Valatar. Horse digging. Mystical. Mystical. Right. Now just a picture of a horse and a woman.

Magical. Magical. Okay. Now a woman just riding a man and horse defy gravity. Defy gravity. Experience the undiscovered. Valatar. Coming in 2016 to the big top of the Delmarth That does not look good. Try the other one too. But you don't think so? It looks great. It looks to me like the, you know, what's that, that castle place where you get a drumstick? Medieval Times.

Okay. It looks like that. Hang yourself. Go ahead. Okay. So now we're starting. No, no, no. This is not what I paid for.

First of all, it's a skateboarder was doing one of those tricks. This is people riding a horse and somebody doing like a. you know, it's not even Cirque de Soleil, it's like a it's like a pole dance. It's an awful lot of skateboarding in this commercial. November 16th. So it seems to be, the really disappointing part about it is

it seems to be the humans doing the acrobatics and not the horses. And it's not what I was promised. I want an elaborate multi-million dollar equestrian acrobatics show. I want the horses to do the acrobatics. That's how you really nailed this. No wonder it failed. People showed up and they were like, why aren't the horses doing the skateboarding?

No wonder this thing collapsed. Gosh, I mean, they really missed the boat on that. They really did. You know, I've really rarely seen horses doing any sorts of acrobatics, and that would be something I'd be interested in taking in. Now, I have seen them do water polo and, you know, water acrobat. You know, what do you call those things? Aquatic.

Wait, you've seen horses play water polo? Yeah, they all drown. but did that show get canceled too? It did. This one's about to me. After that line, this one's about to me. No, but can't you see them all their heads coming up out of the water and then they swim back in like a star, you know, like they used to.

Be beautiful. It just takes training. Horses are smart animals. You know what I mean? We've become too soft. Dolphins can do it. What do you think? We're too soft in this country now.

We are. You know? We don't have the appetite anymore to see horses hang from trampolines with their armpits. I was. Can you imagine a horse? Now, seriously, imagine a horse on the parallel bars. Oh, yeah. Right.

Right? Yes. And perfect landing. I would be incredible. All four hooves are down on the ground. He's standing. Look at that is a, that's a golden medalist parallel bar. Mm-hmm.

Arabian. None of that is. is in this show. No wonder it failed. We could get the painted ponies to do this. It would be unbelievable. All right. Have a great weekend.

God bless.
