Starting point is 00:00:02 Thank you very much. I want to talk to you today a little bit about the economy, if we have time. I'm concerned about the Google antitrust litigation. We have to do it, but I'm concerned on what it means for the economy, because that's really one of the dot-com bubble triggers was the antitrust against Microsoft. So we have to pay attention to the economy. We have to pay attention to what's happening. Donald Trump, this makes me again very nervous, he says that he thinks the Fed should lower rates below zero. No, Mr. President, that will actually hurt us. The investment is coming from overseas
Starting point is 00:00:43 because we're the only ones with an interest rate above zero.

And I said, did you use a promo code? No, use the promo code back. She went,
Starting point is 00:03:40 she was at checkout. She put promo code back. It went from like 20, $200 to $1,300. Oh, my gosh. I mean, don't forget to use the promo code when you check out at places because it was a bigger savings than I thought. It was pretty amazing. Anyway, I want to, before we go to Houston, I just want you to feel better about where you live.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Now, imagine you're coming home, Stu. And you're coming from a business trip. Okay, you went, you went someplace and you were there on business. And you were like, honey, damn this corporation. I broke my leg and I was working. And you're like, I mean, still you work in an office. You sit behind a, I broke my leg. And there was while I was on a business trip.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Okay. Okay. And then she found out that you were water skiing. What would your wife say? And my business isn't selling water skis. Your business is what you do. Okay. And there were no cameras or anything else.
Starting point is 00:04:53 You were just out on a boat with a group of people, hot people, water ski. Hot people. Okay. She may be a little suspicious that something else was going on. Right. And would she say, really, that's the company's problem? Would she? You're like, the company.
Starting point is 00:05:11 And did the company ask you to go water skiing? No. It is my free time. Yeah. No, she wouldn't. In France. Here's what happened. An employee died on a business trip.
Starting point is 00:05:24 And the family is suing the company. And the courts just ruled, yes, that is a, that's a responsibility of the company to make sure that their people are protected. Here's what happened. He was an employee that had a heart attack while having sex with a stranger. in his hotel room. The firm... My wife would have more of a problem with that than the water skiing. Yeah, well, I didn't want to give you something so insane.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Right. I mean, my wife would have a problem with the water skiing. You know, somebody coming in and going, and I, okay, I broke both my legs because we were having this crazy sex. I don't think my wife would say okay. No. And she wouldn't say that damn company. she'd say, I'm leaving.
Starting point is 00:06:15 I'm glad. Right. Glad this happened to you. Right. And I only have to break two arms. I don't have to break all four limbs. It saves me some time. It saves me time, right?
Starting point is 00:06:24 So the family said that they were entitled to compensation because that was a workplace injury. And so the company said, no, that's not a workplace industry. I don't know if you know, but he was in his hotel room at night. We had finished. work. And he picked up a stranger in the bar and it was so good, no offense to rub it in here, but it was so good that he had a heart attack during it. Well, I mean, I guess he wouldn't have been at that hotel if not for the work assignment. Well, that's what the judge said. Oh my God. That's what the judge said. The employer is responsible for any accident occurring during
Starting point is 00:07:04 a business trip. He wouldn't have been there in a, quote, extramarital relationship with a perfect stranger had he not been asked to go on the business trip. Oh my gosh. That's amazing. God bless America. If you think we're insane, we're not fully there yet. You don't think that could happen in the United States? No, please don't wreck.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I just, I don't have a case to bring to you, but I can look. I've got the debate tonight. I'm trying to build myself up with a lot of hope and a lot of good things so I can watch the debate and last maybe two minutes before my head explodes. I'll say, though, I think it's a good idea to, if you're going to commit a crime in France, wait till you're on a business trip. Like, if you were to go and murder someone, wouldn't the company be responsible for that murder? I didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:07:56 I was on a business trip. I was at a quality in. Right. And I just murdered somebody at the bar. But I mean, if I wasn't working for this company, you would never been at the quality? Right. I robbed the bank. But I was only in town that one night because business told me.
Starting point is 00:08:11 to go there. As long as you could show it's not premeditated, I think you're clear. I think you are. I like it. This bank was a total stranger to me. I'd never seen that bank before. Ned, no idea. Just an extramarital robbery with another bank. If the debate moderator
Starting point is 00:08:28 today were to say, if a person were to go and have sex on a trip, a business trip, who should be responsible? You have to believe at least eight of the ten people are saying it's the company's fault. Who's there tonight? Who's there tonight? I will tell you exact number of how many people how many people would say yes.
Starting point is 00:08:43 You have Joe Biden. He would say, ooh, he's tough. Come back to him. Okay. Bernie Sanders. Yes. Companies always at fault for everything. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:52 You know, Elizabeth Warren? Yes. 100%. Pete Buttigieg. Somehow another, the banks would be involved if Elizabeth Warren was... That's true. Yeah. The banks are always involved.
Starting point is 00:09:00 It would be the company, but really the companies were driven by the banks to do it. Pete Buttigieg? Yeah, I think he'd do it. But he'd put it in a way. to where everybody would kind of go like, yeah, that's kind of common sense. That's just the average everyday Joe saying that. You think he's not, to me, average everyday Joe.
Starting point is 00:09:23 He's like McKinsey consultant, right? Like he speaks in that way that we've been in those meetings before with like those high-level consultants and they lay it all out and you're like, I don't think they said anything there. You don't think that, like that was a lot of, a lot of syllables. Yes, yes, yes, yes. The syllable to content ratio is very... I didn't say he meant it.
Starting point is 00:09:43 I said... I mean, that's what he's good at. He's good at just talking around things where you're like, I don't know. I don't know what he said, but I kind of feel good. Yeah, right. Yeah. Camilla Harris. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:56 She's in. Bob Franco Rourke. Oh, my gosh. Oh, yes. He's in because Bob Frank is in ultimate campaign desperation mode and we'll say anything. He might even say the F bomb on the stage tonight. I'll be shocked. Is that not incredible?
Starting point is 00:10:09 I'll be shocked. Dude, we got it. You can use the F word. I mean, what is the deal? They're all so proud of themselves when they can say because Donald Trump, in a private meeting, said s-whole countries. And so now they all got to get to say the full word because it's news, in quotes. And so they all come on, you know what Donald Trump said, and he says the whole word. No, but.
Starting point is 00:10:29 And then now Bob Frank is saying the F word everywhere. Right. Because he's so desperate for attention. His Hispanic priest, Patrick O'Malley, Father Patrick O'Malley. very Hispanic. He's very upset that his young altar boy was using
Starting point is 00:10:46 a F word like that. And Patrick O'Malley created Salsa Verde if I'm not mistaken. Oh yeah, very Hispanic. Very Hispanic. Triple Hispanic. Yeah, yeah. Tripspanic is his official term. How about Corey Booker? Yeah, Corey Booker's a pandering machine. So he's going to pander
Starting point is 00:11:04 no matter what is said. He actually was bashing Trump about the bill that they did together on criminal justice reform. He's like, Chrissy Teigen, the model slash wife of someone who accomplished things, has
Starting point is 00:11:20 wrote some really nasty thing with all sorts of swears and stuff at Donald Trump. And he came out, he's like, another example of Donald Trump targeting minority women. It's like, wait a minute. She was calling him like all sorts of swears. And I don't even think
Starting point is 00:11:39 he named her. She came back with some really like vile rant against it and she's like, I'm on team Chrissy. Oh, wait, Chrissy Teigen is now a victim of something? Yes, Chrissy Tegan is apparently a victim. Her poor multi-million dollar status.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I did it. Really? And she's a minority? I don't know. I honestly don't care. I don't know why everyone else is so obsessed with this. Like who cares what her skin color is? I don't get it. You know, you're to be saying, no, the company's not responsible for that extramarital affair, heart attack.
Starting point is 00:12:14 So we have three more. I think we'd name seven so far. So we have Julian Castro. Yes. Amy Klobuchar? I don't even know that. Yeah. Yeah. No idea. Not really relevant. And Andrew Yang. Yang would say no. Yeah, probably. Yang would say no. And I think Biden would just, it would just have to look at everybody else. And if everybody else was saying yes, then he'd say yes. And then he'd probably flub six, seven sentences in a row. Yeah, he'd pronounce yes as... Okay, I think that's a yes from Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Definitely wasn't a no. All right, we're going to talk a little bit about the debate tonight in Houston. One of our writers and journalists from The Blaze and glenbeck.com is going down. I want to play bingo today. And I'm going to try to convince him to shout out bingo.
Starting point is 00:13:05 I just don't know what word yet. All right. Has this ever happened to you? One day, you notice that all the blinds in your house looked like they, you know, they stopped to hail a hand grenades. Yeah, yeah. I was on last night, blinds.com. We were picking out, we were picking up blinds and shades.
Starting point is 00:13:26 And, you know, we were at blinds.com, and I just told you a few minutes ago. I didn't know I was going to do a commercial for it today. And we get down to it and we're putting all these blinds in. I was like, I don't know, $22 or $2,300. And my wife looked at me and went, and I said, I know, but 40% off. And she said, okay, that's just a lot of money for blinds. You sure you want to do blinds?
Starting point is 00:13:53 And I said, have you used a promo code? And she said, what is it? I said, this is literally my response. Thanks so much for listening to the show, sweetheart. I said, it's promo code Beck, hard to remember. You spell it B, C. she put it in and it went from $2,200 to like $1,300. And I was like, put it in again.
Starting point is 00:14:15 See what happens. I don't think that's how it works. Right. So we have been looking at blinds and we went to other places and we did our homework and they were much more expensive than the $2,200. And then put the promo code in and, hello? Make sure you put the promo code in. Make sure you do that. because it worked out pretty well for us last night.
Starting point is 00:14:40 May I recommend if you're looking for blind shade, shutters, drapes, anything for your windows? Blines.com has it. They do a really good job, and you are going to find an easy way to do it online. Plus, you're going to save a buttload of money. Blinds.com. Right now, I don't know what they're specialists.
Starting point is 00:14:58 I think it's 40% off. Yeah, up to September 15th, get 40% off blinds.com, plus you get an extra 20 bucks off at blinds.com. when you use the promo code back. So make sure you use the promo code back. What are you yelling at your wife for? You shouldn't have been surprised by this either. You're reading an offer.
Starting point is 00:15:13 This is 40% off every day. No, no, no. Are you? It just doesn't seem like it would be a huge shock. I asked my wife, did you put the promo code in? Because the price was cheaper than the blinds we were looking at from someplace else. And so I said, she said, that's still a lot of money. You sure you want to do this?
Starting point is 00:15:33 And I said, yes. but have you put the promo code in? And so when we did, it was 40% off. I hate you. I hate you so much, Stu. Blinds.com, make sure you use the promo code back. We pause for 10 seconds. Station ID.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Welcome to our writer and journalist, Kevin Ryan, who's written several things for us. This week, he's writing something on, is it on the blaze or is it on Glades? or is it on it's on both. It's on Glenbeck.com and The Blaze. A great story about your encounter with, and I don't mean that in a French sort of business way,
Starting point is 00:16:27 your encounter with Joe Biden. Yes. Which is interesting and very, very funny. And so we all know this story about his comparison, poor kids to white kids. But one thing you won't find anywhere else is the overall view of the room, which was hilarious. I mean, it was just like a scene straight out of a comedy.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Like there was a lady probably three or four feet away from me because everybody's kind of crowded in who was really drunk. She kept sneaking out of the room and she, like, every time she came back in, she shoved everybody aside a little bit harder because she was just hitting something. vodka or wine or something. Now, is it a requirement to be drunk at a Joe Biden rally? I think it probably. Yeah, he makes sense.
Starting point is 00:17:15 So he makes more sense. You're like, I'm not like in that. Yeah. Beautifully stated. It was a lot of fun to write. Yeah. And I think the tone of this piece, just like the rest of the series, it's a lot different than my profile series.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Because you did the profile on Jordan Peterson and what? Ruben, Debrisoe. Really good. You haven't read those around the Blaze. They're great. You're a really good writer. So you can find that at Theblaze.com, also at glenbeck.com. A very great, great story about Joe Biden and being in the room with Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Now you're going to be in the room again with him tonight. That's right. Yeah, you're going down to Houston. You're leaving here in a few minutes. And you're going to, first you're going to see the giant socialism sucks or whatever it says, the banner that is flying around Houston today. I didn't know about that. Yeah, paid for by Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Yeah. Yeah, so that's fantastic. Only in Texas, man. I got to tell you, I just love this state. But anyway, I want you to go in. Do you know where you're going to be? Are you sitting in the audience? I'm not really sure yet.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Stu and I were looking at the media, my credentials. Yeah. I don't really know where I'm going to be. There's, it's going to be, there's a story there. It's going to be a blast. Yeah, you're credentialed with us. You may be watching it in your hotel room about 10 miles away. I'd like to see.
Starting point is 00:18:50 What should the word be that when one of them brings up this word or this policy that he should scream bingo? Just scream bingo as loud as you can. Yeah, I love that. You probably shouldn't do it as a journalist, but as a friend, you definitely should. Yeah. I mean, you can certainly do it when Andrew Yang talks about universal basic income. Oh, that's immediate. That should be on your card.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Yeah. The debate bingo car. What else should I mean, I think what's going to be the big focus of this today? People are talking about this as if it's the biggest debate that they've had so far and I kind of disagree with that. The next debate,
Starting point is 00:19:26 all of these people have already qualified for it. Plus, Tom Steyer has qualified for it. So there's 11 now have qualified for the next debate. And also Gabbard and others have chances to get into the next debate. So I don't know that this is the biggest one so far. I think it's going to be kind of a low
Starting point is 00:19:42 profile one and it's going up against the National Football League, which is something Andrew Yang complained about. Like, you don't put a debate against the NFL. Come on. Even I want to watch football tonight over there. I don't care. I don't care if it's Carolina, Tampa. I don't care what it is.
Starting point is 00:19:57 I'm in. I am watching it. So it is a, I think it's going to be. You could call bingo out every time somebody mentions Trump besides the moderator. Oh, yeah. And then you could just blame it on Tourette's. Say, I'm sorry, I just have Tourette's because you'll be screaming it all night. Yes, that would probably be.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Yeah. Bingo! Bingo! I love that. That was your first reaction, too. I was like, I got press credentials. You're like, we should play bingo. It's the sort of journalism we do here, as you've realized.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Well, not the blaze, but glenbeck.com. Technically, I think you work for glenbeck.com, or do you work for the blaze? Both, both. Okay, yeah. So just say, bing! I maybe just say go. Please get out. Yeah, I don't know what to expect out of this one.
Starting point is 00:20:48 They're making it into a big deal because Warren and Sanders and Biden will be on the same page. I feel like the real one of the stage. You also mean page, which is very good. It is. Economy of words. Yes, it is. Oh, you're right. I think Sanders has something to do here.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Like Biden and Warren, I would say, are the two or one, two right now? even though Sanders is right there in the polls with Warren, you know, Warren and Sanders are competing for the same voters. Biden doesn't have to go after them. He can kind of sit back. He's going to get attacked by people like Julian Castro and Bob Frank. And Bob Frank O'Rourke is going to come after him to try to make news, right? But I think that you have to, if you're Sanders,
Starting point is 00:21:28 you have to do something to figure out how to expand past the 15% you've been stuck at since this campaign launched. The guy's been right in the same place the whole time. He's not going to. He's got to. He's done. He's done. I think he is too.
Starting point is 00:21:43 But I mean, he does have... Warren is not. He is. Warren just has to look better than Sanders without cutting him off at the knees. You know what I mean? She needs to pull his numbers down. You know, with white Democratic voters, Warren is beating Biden. Yeah, Warren does.
Starting point is 00:22:05 With Hispanics, I think Sanders is winning. With black voters, it's Biden by a mile. I mean, and that's, The problem with this for Biden is that the first state that has decent representation of African-American voters is state number four, South Carolina. So he's got to get through three states where he's not demographically advantaged to get there. That's not going to be easy. And Warren could. There's this scenario where Warren wins Iowa and New Hampshire and Nevada.
Starting point is 00:22:31 And then you're going. And then you're going, she's a steamroller. She might be. Yeah. I mean, he'll be the only one that could stop her at that point. Yeah. I love what Jim Kramer said about it yesterday. And we'll get to that here coming up in just a second.
Starting point is 00:22:47 You're listening to Glenn Beck. All right. Got a great deal from Tocovus that I want to tell you about. And I'll tell you about it in just a second. It is only available free to you because Tukovus has been so appreciative of everybody from this audience that is going to their site and actually purchasing things. And it's hard. Once you go to Tukovus and you see the quality of their clothing, of their belts, of their, you know, all their leather products and their boots. you will see that they are twice the quality at half the price.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Now, the free gift. Right now, if you make $150 purchase and you enter the promo code back at checkout, again, make sure you do that. You'll get a free hand-stitched calf skin card case in beautiful bourbon color. $45 value. I carry my cards and my cash in a little card case from Toccovis. It's great. usually 45, 50 bucks.
Starting point is 00:23:45 You get it for free with $150 purchase at T-E-C-O-V-A-S dot com slash Beck. That's tocovus.com slash Beck. Find your pair of cowboy boots. And remember, enter the promo code back at checkout. That's exactly right. And that's the problem. Welcome to the program.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Nick DePaulo is with us in about half an hour, just going to check in with him and see what's on his mind. You know, I don't know. He follows politics, but I don't know if he follows it like we follow it. Do you think he follows it pretty close to him? He does a daily show. And so I think he has to follow it. But he's not all politics.
Starting point is 00:24:29 But he remains funny. So he must not be in it like we are. Because I know he loves the country. I know he like, you know. And if you love the country and you follow it every day, don't you all want to hang yourself every day? Don't you're kind of like, hmm, don't think I can do another day. It's tempting. It is tempting.
Starting point is 00:24:45 It is tempting. It is tempting. are up. It might be because we are all paying attention to what people are doing in Washington. Pat is here from the Pat Gray Radio Roundup, otherwise known as Pat Gray Unleashed. Point of personal privilege. He, him, his. Okay, thank you. Yeah, you're welcome. Pat is the host of that podcast, which you can hear live as he records it every morning, right before this one, or you can download it at your discretion. and you can find that wherever you get podcast or on blazedtiv.com.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Pat. Yes. Let's talk about the craziness in Philadelphia. Yeah. Philadelphia is acting police commissioner and people are calling for her to resign because 25 years ago, she wore a t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Yeah. She wore a t-shirt. Here's what the t-shirt said. Are you ready for this? Yeah, now she's the police commissioner. Police commissioner in Philadelphia. Right. She wore a t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:25:43 And it said LAPD, we treat you like a king. Of course, that's not funny at all. Oh, it's not funny at all. No. Rodney King. Yes, yes. Oh, I never thought of that. A little double-on-ton, perhaps there.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Yeah. So she came in. She came in to work, what, last week and was wearing that? No, no, no, just a photo surface. of her from 25 years ago in which she had the t-shirt on. And now she, you know, they're
Starting point is 00:26:20 demanding that she resigned because of it. I mean, you're not going to be able to, you better start deleting your Twitter feed right now. Our kids are doomed. No Facebook pages. Be careful of your wardrobe.
Starting point is 00:26:38 I mean, yeah, our kids are going to be. Our kids are. Look at what people say on Twitter. All the time. All the time. And you know what? Here's the thing. How? When you're a kid, when you're a 15-year-old boy, you're not saying things necessarily that you believe.
Starting point is 00:26:54 You're saying them because you know you can get a rise out of people. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Because it's just antagonizing. When you're a 15-year-old boy, you don't know what you believe. Right. You don't know what you believe. And it's not and it's not hatred.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I mean, it could be, you know. I saw it. I saw Jeff, what's his name Bowers and the way he was, you know, beating up those other kids and he had real hatred in his heart. So Stephen King tells the truth. But for the most part, kids are just saying things that... Yeah, you go back and find any incentive
Starting point is 00:27:25 incensitive joke from a kid at 15 years old. It's usually made because they think it's going to piss a bunch of people off. It's not made because they have a deep, seated ideology. It's just like you... And what's the thing I'm not supposed to say? Let me say that. Right. And when you're young, especially with comedy,
Starting point is 00:27:41 when you're young... You don't cut funny. You don't cut funny. That was literally our theme, really, for the show. Back in the day. Back in the day. You don't cut funny. You don't cut funny.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Is it funny? Don't cut funny. Yes. But it's really offensive. Is it funny? Yes, don't cut funny. You can't go with that anymore. That was the first thing I told everybody that came to work for me on the show.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Don't cut funny. You leave it in. Don't cut funny. Now, if it's not funny, you know, we were never, we didn't invent, you know, the claptor that hadn't been invented yet like ah ha ha ha not funny but i'm laughing in approval now i mean how are our kids going to survive the only hope is saturation i think for kids today think about this way i was i was reading going back through we were talking about history yesterday and i was clicking around through a bunch of stories and went down some wormhole and there was a
Starting point is 00:28:34 story about dan quail and dan quail they found they actually found the potato kid recently Do you know this? They found the potato kid. Yeah, they found the potato kid. Wait, wait, for anybody who doesn't know this story, he's a child that Dan Quayle had kept in a dark box underneath his refrigerator sink with the potatoes. It was a horrible, horrible thing when we found this out. And he was initially because Dan Quail impregnated a potato.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Right. So it was a very strange story. But the potato has a lot of eyes and he couldn't take the way the potato was looking at him. But that's a different story. a lot of justification for what he did, and we're not going to get into it now. But so he, if you remember, of course, he went up and, and the kids spelled the word potato correctly, and he added on the E. And there was a back and forth about how it used to be spelled. By the way, it used to be spelled that way.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Yeah, exactly. So, you know, there's a long story. But, I mean, it basically, I mean, Quail made the point essentially that it ruined his life. I mean, it certainly ruined his career and was a, it really dramatically affected his life in a terrible way. We have politicians that misspell words a hundred times a day on Twitter, and no one even bothers noticing. At some point, there's a saturation of these things where people just don't care anymore, and maybe we'll get to that point with our kids.
Starting point is 00:29:54 They all have so much crap on their back. They've all said so many offensive things on Twitter over the years that no one cares. You can't hire anybody. Right. Yeah, so no one cares. Unless it's the algorithm that doesn't. If it's the algorithm and the algorithm has been written by somebody who has an agenda, it will only silence those people.
Starting point is 00:30:11 It's doing it now. We're doing it in real time. It's only silencing. Yeah. And for instance, let's take this. You want to talk about saturation. The saturation of the story two years ago that Planned Parenthood was selling body parts. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Everybody was talking about it. And what did the media say? Not true. Not true. This is made up. That's edited videos. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right?
Starting point is 00:30:34 Now we have Planned Parenthood admitting in a court of law. and the people that were procuring it, admitting under oath, that yes, they were selling them. And the company that was procuring them testified that they were taking beating hearts out of intact bodies. So the child was born and killed after birth. That's now under oath in a court of law. Nobody's talking about it. Nobody cares. Because it's kind of like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Yeah, we missed that boat. Yeah, that was so long ago. Yeah, you're not going to get on it. So if you just saturate it with something, when it turns out to be true, it doesn't matter. Caliphate. Caliphate. Yeah. You sat there getting beat up for three years about how a caliphate might be coming.
Starting point is 00:31:28 And then all of a sudden there was a caliphate. There was a caliphate. And then, like, the New York Times just starts a podcast called caliphate. I know. Like, these people are out there criticizing you, like, crazy. you like crazy for years. They're like crazy conspiracy theorist. And then they go make all this money on a...
Starting point is 00:31:44 I know, I know, I know. But that's what happens. That's what happens. Also, I was reading an article the other day that was titled, Dave Chappelle will save the nation. And when I read it, I thought, yeah, you know what? If he survives this, he might save the nation. Have you seen Nick Apollo?
Starting point is 00:32:07 No. Nick Topolo is not on Netflix. I mean, he wrote for Chris Rock. The guy is really, really funny. And one of those comedians that all those guys respect and admire. John Stewart on his last show said, this was a joy and I can't wait to go back and be on stage with people like Nick Apollo and he was named another comedian.
Starting point is 00:32:33 He named another comedian. Two comedians. So, I mean, Nick. is really, really good, but he's not doing the Netflix special because he's on the other side. But he is, you think, if you
Starting point is 00:32:47 think that what's his name, Chappelle, Chappelle is politically incorrect, go on YouTube and look for Nick DePollo. Really? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's like, I watched him and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:33:03 how is he getting away? He's coming up in a few minutes. How is he getting away? was saying all of these things. And it's because he's funny. He's very, very funny. And you don't cut funny. Right.
Starting point is 00:33:15 And I think we're at that point to where people don't care anymore. They're starting to. I've never seen a funnier routine than Dave Chappelle's. I mean, that is an hour and 10 minutes of just absolute brilliance. And Netflix does take some chances with this stuff. Yeah, they do. And he's not really, I wouldn't call that a left-wing routine either. because every time you think he's going there,
Starting point is 00:33:38 there's a little twist. And it hits both sides. But it's also not a right wing routine. No, it's not at all. I think people, conservatives are like, oh, well, finally someone's saying some conservative things. Really, he's just making observations about the world and not caring which side it falls on.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Right. And that is like, it's a superpower these days. It is. I mean, Bill Burr has a special up there now, which is getting the same type of buzz as the Chappelle one. They just launched it. I'll tell you, there is a chance that comedy saves the country.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Saves the country. Yeah. I mean, you know, it, there is that possibility. We lost all sense of humor. And, you know, we've talked about it for years. How do you write something crazier than what's happening? You know what I mean? And it's just the observations that no one is willing to say anymore that are, that are true and funny.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Because it used to be. if you were joking about something, you were kind of left out, let off the hook, right? You didn't lose your job if you were joking about something. And clearly people knew you were joking about it. Well, that doesn't apply anymore at all. The t-shirt. At all.
Starting point is 00:34:48 LAPD. Treat you like, that's a joke. That's clearly not serious. No one should get fired for that. Right. Particularly, I mean, I guess if she was the police commissioner today, maybe it would be a bad thing. She was wearing it. 25 years ago.
Starting point is 00:34:59 I'm meeting with the police commissioners in Los Angeles. And I thought I'd wear it. this t-shirt to greet them. That might be a problem. Yeah, not a good idea. Thanks, Matt. That's what it takes balls, though. It's putting it on 25 years ago. It does. Putting it on in a meeting today, that's where you cross a great line. All right.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
Starting point is 00:36:57 There's some audio that we missed yesterday because 9-11, and I want to make sure we get it in today. You need to hear it. The press has made it sound like the Virginia governor was not talking about infanticide. There was testimony up on the hill two days ago that you need to hear. Jill Stannick is a nerd.
Starting point is 00:37:15 She was at Christ Hospital in Oakland, Illinois, and she spoke about her experiences watching something horrifying when speaking on behalf of the Born Alive Act in Washington. When I heard Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, who's a pediatric neurologist, described during an interview, the process by which doctors determined to shelve unwanted abortion survivors, it hit painfully close to home to me. about third trimester abortions he said and I'm quoting if a mother's in labor i can tell you exactly what would happen the infant would be delivered the infant would be kept comfortable the infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired governor northam was right this is exactly what happens i know because i cared for a dying baby on the other side of that decision. My experience was 20 years ago, but as Governor Northam made clear, this is still happening today. I was a registered nurse at Christ Hospital in Oakland, Illinois, when I learned
Starting point is 00:38:26 that it committed abortions into the second and third trimester. The procedure called induced labor abortion sometimes resulted in babies being aborted alive, and if they were aborted alive, they were allowed to die without any medical care or intervention whatsoever. They were given what was called comfort care, made comfortable, as Governor Northam indicated. One night, a nursing coworker was taking a little abortion survivor to the soiled utility room to die. When she told me what she was doing, I couldn't bear the thought of this suffering child dying alone. He'd been aborted because he had down syndrome. And he was between 21 and 22 weeks old about the size of my hand.
Starting point is 00:39:15 And he didn't move very much because he was using all of his energy attempting to breathe. And I remember toward the end of his life, I couldn't tell if he was alive or not unless I held him up against the light to see if I could see his heart beating through his chest wall because their skin is so thin at that age. And after he was pronounced dead, I folded his little arms across his chest. I tied them together with a little string. I wrapped him in a shroud, and I took him to the morgue where we took all of our dead patients. I will tell you that she went on in that testimony to talk about how when it was discovered by the people that Christ Hospital, Christ Hospital. They made a nice little room where you could baptize the baby as they were dying or whatever. And she said, I took pictures of the room.
Starting point is 00:40:14 All of this nonsense that the governor of Virginia was, you know, that's not what he said. That's an out-and-out lie. It is a lie. We are not disagreeing on facts anymore. we have people who are lying and on issues of life and death I mean we're talking we're talking about hey did
Starting point is 00:40:41 Saddam Hussein have the weapons of mass destruction we shouldn't have gone there okay how about this how about this you're lying about life people are killing children in hospitals after birth do we care You're listening to Glenn Beck. You know, we've had a tough, tough week with 9-11, the remembrance yesterday and the stupid things the press were saying yesterday about it. My head just hurts.
Starting point is 00:41:37 And it's Thursday. I thought we could stand a few laughs. I wanted to check in with our friend Nick DePaolo. If you don't know who Nick DePaolo is, you need to. But I warn you, he is, he's very. very politically incorrect. And to say that he is, well, he probably doesn't book a lot of concerts in Salt Lake City is,
Starting point is 00:42:00 is an understatement. He's saying the things that you just, you'll watch and you'll think, how is this guy still available on any platform? He is taking comedy seriously. making it funny again and saying the things that he's always been saying, he's just not giving up on it. Nick DePaulo joins us in one minute.

How are you? Not my home. I have an actual studio. You have an actual studio.
Starting point is 00:44:09 I'm doing very well, you know. Yeah, good. So, like, physical appearance since the O'Reilly Day says, I love it. You got the white hair, the goatee. let me just hear you say come down a KFC a cry on, jet a fistick. You know, it's really, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:28 it's really horrible. My family has white hair very young. My sister's tired of getting there at 30. I was the last to get it and I always wanted it because my grandfather had it. But I've turned into my grandfather and if that's not bad enough, I do look exactly like
Starting point is 00:44:44 Colonel Sanders. It's not cool. It's not popular with the women. Well, the white shirt and the black ties not helping. I mean, put a boll-o-tie on there. Right. Okay, all right. As you have pointed out, Glenn, though, you are fatter than Colonel Sanders. Yeah, when I actually looked at a picture of Colonel Sanders, I am in worse shape than the guy who is selling fried chicken out of the trunk of his car. Yeah, but he does P90x three times a week. How you doing, Nick? I'm doing good. How you doing? You look good. Right. That's really not necessarily. No. That was not stuck down.
Starting point is 00:45:23 No, sure. Sure, you didn't mean it that way. So, Nick, let me, let me ask you, tonight is the, tonight is the, the, the, the Democratic debate in Houston. It's tonight. It's tonight. Going up against football. Gee, I wonder who's, who's going to win in the ratings. What are your thoughts? What are your thoughts on Joe Biden? Well, he's, uh, Joe Biden's out of his mind. And, uh, he has no, no business. He has no business being in the race. I mean, I can't believe he's still in the lead. This guy, he's sorry. He doesn't even know what state he's in.
Starting point is 00:45:57 He's a, well, I love here coming to New Hampshire. It's one of the most beautiful states. Just look around the Rock Mountains. You've got the Smoky Mountains. I'll tell you, I love Denver. I can't believe. So, but is he the guy that is doing well just because everybody else is nuts? I mean, go through them.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Bernie Sanders. Well, he's a Jew living in Vermont. Do I have to say any more? I don't know what that means exactly. Well, you know, he hates the 1%. Everything in 1% they're getting all the tax breaks. They're getting all the money. I hate 1% milk.
Starting point is 00:46:35 I graduated about 1% of my class. I don't like that. Why do you live in Vermont, Bernie? Well, I love Subarus. I love women in flannel. I love covered bridges. And health care. First of all, he talks like me.
Starting point is 00:46:50 I'm from Boston. He puts ours on words that, you know, I'll have a vodka and tonic, and I have to head. I'll be touring in Nebraska and the butter. Damn, and I wrote the bill, damn it. I like this spunk. I'm going to be honest with you. He's, you know, his politics, forget about it.
Starting point is 00:47:11 You made a good point, though. They're so far left. And if I was Bernie, I'd be P-Oed because Liz Warren is just, you know, rehashing his ideas. He did. He had the nerve to come out and admit he was a socialist, and now she's just trying to steal his thunder. There's no ours in the word where there should be ours.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Yes. And adding them where they don't exist. That's what Brooklyn people do, in Boston people. But how about, how about, go ahead, sorry. No, go ahead, go ahead. Well, cups of coffee in me. How about the fact that he doesn't understand money? He says, I don't understand why we can't pay peaches like ballplayers.
Starting point is 00:47:49 We do. We pay him like double A ball players. A $50.00. But, I mean, he doesn't understand that. Bernie, let me explain it to you. When you can get 20 million people to tune in to a science teacher rubbing a balloon on a kid's cardigan to teach electricity and then sell 12,000 beers at $10 a pop, and then we can pay him.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Look, there's only one type of teacher who should get paid like a pro ball player. And that's the young female teachers who sleep with their 14-year-old boy students. I will actually take them to, I will actually represent them in arbitration. I'll go right into the principal's office and say, Mrs. Johnson deserves another $200,000 a year. Well, why's that? Well, she slept with half the basketball team last month. And look at her numbers.
Starting point is 00:48:36 She's having a great year. I don't think that's helpful. I don't think that's helpful. So what do you make of Pete Buttigieg? I hate him more than Hillary. That's all I have to say about that. This guy is a, he is a smarmy little sanctimonious, holier than thou. I can't stand this guy.
Starting point is 00:48:58 And he's on this whole, I mean, he passes himself off as this, you know, religious, whatever. And now he's quoting the Bible. He says, in action on, you know, climbing on, inaction on, you know, climate change is a sin, he says. So what are you going to go into the confessional, bless me. father if I have sinned I have sexual thoughts about my neighbor's wife I murdered a person 20 years ago and I am not using paper straws damn it I mean come on I was just in Los Angeles last week and they handed you know you I asked for a straw they don't even give you a plastic straw I mean they have to ask for it and then they don't give they reward you with this paper straw that
Starting point is 00:49:45 I hated those when we they were passing out milk when I was in school cool. They're horrible. They're horrible. You want me to believe that Hollywood stars are snort and coke with paper straws. Come on, Matthew McConaughey has 19 paper cuts in his left sinus. Come on. It's all below. Just don't get rid of the crazy straws. That's all I ask. There's a couple of things that I saw today. There was a story about a 77-year-old guy who's being released from prison because Trump has said, this is ridiculous. digging a trench around his property because he was afraid of fires. And he dug a trench and he kind of made a little moat.
Starting point is 00:50:30 He took a like a two foot stream and channeled it in so that water was around his property. And the EPA threw him in jail. He's 77. Threw him in jail. I didn't know Bernie owned a shovel. Yeah, well, then he's not in jail. But Trump has just let him let him out. And now, while that's good, now the EPA is saying that they want to eliminate all animal testing.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Look, I said this on a special years ago. I said as far as animal testing, you know, if hooking a monkey's brain up to a car battery is going to save somebody from Diana AIDS, I have two things to say. The red is positive and the black is negative. okay if you don't want to use animals let's replace the let's let's replace the animals with career politicians let's let's let's let's let's let's let's let's put some chemicals and solvent into gerald nadler and see how he does after week are you smoking no I
Starting point is 00:51:36 I am he just reacts like normal human beings do when they walk up a bunch of stairs when he laughs like that's the physical activity yeah no this is this is this is this is quite a workout for me me. All right. It sounds like you have tuberculosis. You're hanging out on the Mexican border? Yeah, I have been.
Starting point is 00:51:54 I live in Texas now. By the way, you're living, you moved to Georgia. Yeah. How do you like it? I love it down here. I moved to a, you know, a very red state. And first thing I did when I get down here, I wanted to be Southern, so I bought a handgun and I put it on my lap and I went through Chick-fil-A drive-thru.
Starting point is 00:52:14 And I thought I was going to scare the person in the window. They didn't even phase them. They're like, what's at? A 38 snub nose? That's a 642 lightweight, ain't it? Yeah, I shot my stepdad with that. He's kind of mess around my sister on the 4th of July. And I'm like, that's a nice story, Diane.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Anyways, can I get some ketchup? All right, back with more from Nick DePaolo here in just a second. First, let me break for one minute. We've been trusting Norton as a premier source of security for our computers for a long time. all of us have, Norton Security. We know it. And they continue to outdo themselves in the constant struggle to protect us from cybercrime.
Starting point is 00:52:57 They now have a very easy to use virtual private network or VPN. It uses bank grade encryption to hide your online activity. A VPN. It takes the information that you're sending and receiving and essentially builds a secure tunnel around it. This is bank grade encryption. So cybercriminals can't see.
Starting point is 00:53:17 see, you know, who's connected to the Wi-Fi. It blocks the companies that want to track your browsing activities. You and I know that, you know, it's, it is crazy how much information we are just giving these companies that are not working in our favor. Yes, they can tell us, you know, the character name of Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde, but is that worth giving all of your information to them for? Norton Secure VPN. It's seamless. Just install, log in once and let it run in the background. Keep the prying eyes out of your business with a secure Wi-Fi connection through Norton SecureVPN.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Now, it starts at 333 a month for the first year with annual enrollment. You can find it at Norton.com slash VPN. Norton.com slash VPN. Terms and conditions do apply. We break for 10 seconds station ID. How many shows a year do you? you do, Nick? How often are you out on the road? Not as much as I used to be, Glenn. And that's the whole idea. I just hate the road, you know. So I used to do 30, 35 weeks of year when I was,
Starting point is 00:54:44 you know, young and single and chasing women and it was fun. And, you know, but after you're eighth time back to Cleveland, you know, how many times can you visit the Bowling Hall of Fame? And so I probably, I don't know, probably, it's probably around 15. weekends? So have you been affected by this, this quashing of comedy over the last 10, 15 years? Well, yes and no. I mean, I'm sure I didn't do myself any favors like landing gigs as far as TV and actual Hollywood show business. That's the thing you don't know. But as far as live performances, I came out of the closet as a writing. on tough crowd in like 2002. I was, you know, I was spewing the term cultural Marxism on that show, which was a brilliant
Starting point is 00:55:39 idea by me. I have $11 in the bank. I'm on national TV. You know, I mean, everybody gives Dennis Miller and Schwarzenegger credit for being righties. I mean, yeah, well, they had 70 million in the bank when they, uh, so, but, so I got, I got pigeonholed as a conservative. I'm not, I'm a comedian who happens to lean right in it, and is in, so, so people came out. And thank God Trump came along.
Starting point is 00:56:03 So, you know, but yes and no. A few people walk out of my shows all the time. Well, it may not be for your politics. I mean, you are, you are. My clothing. Yeah. I mean, you are, you are, you say everything. You say everything.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Let me ask you what your thought is on the Dave Chappelle special. I absolutely loved it. Dave Chappelle, and I've said this, okay? And I know him. I like him as a person. I honestly, I don't think Richard Pryor or Chris Rock have anything on Dave Chappelle.
Starting point is 00:56:38 I think he's a genius. You've written for Chris Rock. I wrote for Chris Rock. And Chappelle is just, he's like a jazz musician. He's smooth. He's smart. He's concise.
Starting point is 00:56:51 That being said, my only problem is people are coming out there and people on my side going, boy, he's fearless. Well, he first of all, He's a famous black guy with $100 million in the bank. What's he got to lose? I'm fearless.
Starting point is 00:57:07 I'm a 57-year-old white guy. I've been saying this stuff forever. That's why I'm doing a show in the back of an Applebee's right now. But that special was tremendous, and I'm glad somebody that's famous and has that many people watching got the message. But I've been preaching that, and if you watch my special breath of fresh air,
Starting point is 00:57:27 I touched on basically the same things Dave Chappelle did. His came out a few months after mine. We touched on the same subjects. People should put him side by side and go, and this is how it is for a white guy. So I just don't like that they go, no, he's fearless. A famous black guy in show business has never gotten trouble for anything other than OJ in a couple extreme cases.
Starting point is 00:57:47 But I mean, he's not going to get trouble for anything he says. So you don't think this because he has gotten pushback? Yeah, pushback's one thing. but being canned or being, you know, put under the radar for the rest of your showbiz career is another thing. And that's never going to happen to Shepa. I use this example. Remember Tracy Morgan, his wife was pregnant. He actually came out and said, if my baby's gay, I'm going to kill it.
Starting point is 00:58:14 He actually said that. And, you know, six months later, he has a new series on TBS. I mean, you know what I mean? Yeah. Tell me a white guy that could say something that outrageous and not be banned from the plan. planet. So I, I, but he's a genius. Chappelle's a genius and he's in my top five easy. And I suggest everybody watch that special. But I, then, then watch mine. And I'm not comparing myself to him as a comedian because he's tremendous. But, you know, you're going to see the point of view from a white
Starting point is 00:58:44 straight, 57 year old white guy. And, and, and he has a little more leeway to say stuff that I don't even though I cut loose. You, you do cut loose. He is, you know, I think he's being, um, people are assigning things to him that he didn't necessarily say. His jokes, many of them take you a minute before you say, wait, wait a minute, did he say that or did he say this? He's making a point, but you can't really pin him down. He's just willing to say things. But I wouldn't say that he's, for instance, pro-life, but I don't know that he's pro-abortion. either. I don't know where he stands, which I think is part of the genius of the way he wrote this.
Starting point is 00:59:33 Do you agree with this or not? Yeah, I do. It's funny to say that because the next hour I'm working on, I have about 10 minutes on abortion, and you won't know where I stand either. You know, look, I can't say, people assume I'm pro-life because I lean right in my politics. But I'd be a hypocrite to say that because when I was young, I got a few girls pregnant. And I was glad to a plan parenthoods or, I don't know, Midas mufflers. I can't remember where they used to do that stuff. Beautifully put, Nick. Beautifully put.
Starting point is 01:00:04 I have like, get her up on the jack. I have no one. He's playing at the Vatican next week. Just, I can get your tickets now. But you're right. He sort of has the Michael Jordan. Remember Michael Jordan's quote? They said, why don't you ever talk politics?
Starting point is 01:00:20 And he says because both Republicans and Democrats buy sneakers. and it's sort of Chappelle sort of but I don't think he's doing that intentionally I mean that's how he thinks he's looking at both sides fairly and you don't see that
Starting point is 01:00:33 from too many comics and that that was the genius of it that you like you said you could get him down and it's really funny on top of that and look Netflix is Netflix but let's not downplay the success of a breath of fresh air
Starting point is 01:00:43 I mean you're up 800,000 views now on YouTube you can watch it for free I mean it's done really well people have a thirst for this right now that's exactly right They do have a thirst for it. I'm lucky Trump came along because, yeah, I'm brutally honest about it. So wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 01:01:01 Is it Trump or is it that people are starting to see the effects in their own life? You know, everybody wants to be nice. You know, I don't say that. They're handicapped. It makes them feel bad. Okay. I don't want to. But then you get to a point to where you're like, shut up, shut up.
Starting point is 01:01:19 This is affecting my life. there's a six-foot-four guy in a dress that's now wrestling my daughter in female wrestling. Shut up. And so I think they're just, this is played out long enough to where people are seeing it affect their own life in a negative way. Well, that's some of it. But when Trump, look, this is when I, and again, folks, keep this in context. I'm a comedian. I have a much darker sense of humor than you do.
Starting point is 01:01:47 But this is, I swear to go up. I said, I'm going to vote for Trump. I'm laying in the couch. I'm half asleep. I got one eye open. Remember he went after the physically challenged report of the New York? Yes. I look over the TV and I see Trump go, and I said, where do I pull the lever?
Starting point is 01:02:02 This guy does not give a crap. This is my guy. And you know what? He's been great for me because he's calling the media out on the PC bull crap. And yes, like you said, just through the way things are evolving, people have had enough. but I love that he would say anything. I'm watching him doing a rally the other day, and they throw a heckler out,
Starting point is 01:02:27 and as they throwing the guy out, Trump goes, that guy has a weight problem. Nick DiPalo. Find him at Nick Dip.com. All right, our sponsor this half hour is a relief factor. Winnie is 54 years old, driven a school bus for the past 15 years, literally watched a generation of people
Starting point is 01:02:49 go from tiny little children to young men and women going out into the world. And not really a thankless job, but nobody was singing her praises either. Last year, Winnie almost had to retire. It was cold winter mornings. The pain had been steadily building up in her hands over the last several years.
Starting point is 01:03:06 She got to the point where she just couldn't handle it anymore. She heard about relief factor. It changed her life. She's still driving, ready to see the next generation of kids grow in adults because of relief. Leave Factor. Whatever it is that you think you're going to have to leave behind, don't try ReliefFactor now. Please, Relieffactor.com, Relieffactor.com. Call 800, 500,883-84, and get your life back, just like I did. It's like Winnie did. It's like Charles. I told you about yesterday. Relieffactor.com. 8500-584 relieffactor.com. Stu, did you see the, did you see the Isis Island video? that was released, I think, yesterday?
Starting point is 01:03:59 No. So apparently ISIS has this island. And who knew? And they were storing all kinds of stuff there, and they were hanging out. I don't know if it was a vacation village. I'm not sure what it was. Island life is getting weird with ISIS and Jeffrey Epstein. It is.
Starting point is 01:04:14 It is. It is. Hey, come to our island. And so we put out a, the joint, I don't know what it is, in enduring whatever. put out a video. And it was from the, I think it was from the edge of space. It's a drone way, way up.
Starting point is 01:04:32 And they showed the bombing of ISIS Island. And it is extraordinarily cool. Can we have it? Do you have it? Can you play it? Yeah. Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve. I don't think this is, yeah,
Starting point is 01:04:56 I know, this is, this is, Dick this fantasy island. But they show the, you know, they're showing the island, a little different than this one, uh, from space. And there,
Starting point is 01:05:13 and they're the plane. There's the plane right there. Uh, I think we had more of them than that. Uh, it's a very short ISIS member. Yeah. And wearing white,
Starting point is 01:05:23 not black. And, and here they start to drop the bombs. Look at this. Geez, the entire island. Entire island is just being obliterated. Yeah. I kind of like it with this music.
Starting point is 01:05:45 It is nice. Kind of like that. Yeah. All right. We'll have to put that out on social media, will you? I'll post that. It's kind of a nicer telling of it. You know, the other one is, do we have the actual real one?
Starting point is 01:06:01 Because it's a little different. We don't. Yeah, it's a little different. It's, you know, it's got like spooky music with it. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. But I like, you're killing ISIS members.
Starting point is 01:06:12 It's probably, it's not spooky. Spooky for them. Yeah. Well, they didn't have, what was his name, Irvay Villages, you know, coming out. The plane. Watching that again, there's just no reason for him to climb into a tower and ring a bell and yell the plane. Like, first of all, everyone on the ground can. see a plane coming. You don't need to be in a tower
Starting point is 01:06:35 to see a plane coming. Number two, if you're going to yell the plane, you don't need to ring the bell. And if you ring the bell, you don't need to yell the plane. Like, he's just being redundant. This is, I mean, it's just a terrible business. The terrible business model. They did very well. They did do well. They did
Starting point is 01:06:51 do very well. Until... What was that show about exactly? I mean, it was... It was, you know what is? It's kind of like, what's that? What's that show in HBO about the AI robots? Oh, West Westworld. It's a little like that except no mechanics.
Starting point is 01:07:06 It's not a creepy. Yeah. It's not like creepy like Westworld. No, no. It's not creepy like Westworld. But it is, you went to the island. You don't remember? I mean, I...
Starting point is 01:07:16 Fantasy Island, love boat, and what was the other one that was? I watched a decent amount of love boat. I did not watch a decent amount of fantasy island. I don't know if my parents thought it was inappropriate or something. Well, probably it was, you know, fantasy island. Right. So you would go and it would be like, I just want to be discovered and be the greatest singer ever and you know
Starting point is 01:07:35 like you really can't sing and then suddenly you could go and sing and some agent would find you and you'd live this life but sometimes it wasn't all what you thought it would be so was it like actors essentially like making it seem like you succeeded
Starting point is 01:07:51 yes and so you would go do you'd live out your fantasy on fantasy it's it's Westworld but Westworld is what people's really fantasy fantasy is really are this is ABC in the 1970s It's much more realistic with a human mind. It's a little dark.
Starting point is 01:08:06 And I'm wondering if we have changed or if we just always were like that, we just wouldn't admit it. Like when Zip plane, Ziplan, I just want to fall in love and just be with a beautiful woman and a woman who loves me back, blah, blah, blah. Or was it, I just really just want to be with a woman and then maybe shoot her in the end? That's the difference between Fantasy Island and Westworld. Which one of those are we? I don't really want to admit what is probably true there. I know. I don't either. Although it's very, it's interesting.
Starting point is 01:08:42 It's almost like a precursor to like online life. Remember when the, like, what was the site? Was it the Sims? The game that was like the game where you'd like have a fake second life and you'd be living it online. And I guess you'd be like successful instead of the crappy job you had. Like your online life, you were, you were, you were cool. you were a stud. And then, you know, in real life, you, you know, you were a complete disaster.
Starting point is 01:09:08 You were a dumpster fire. And, you know, it's kind of that, right? Like, you go, I think it is. That's a tough thing to admit about yourself. Yeah, well, I don't think, but I think it's different. I mean, like, Fantasy Island, they weren't AI. They were real people. Right.
Starting point is 01:09:23 And so you wouldn't want to do that to a real person. But if you, if it was AI and they were just going to be resetting it, you would. the first time you might, well, this is, geez, this is the story. HBO, I'm only about four years behind you, but you should do this because it's good. And the first time you go, you would have feelings and emotions
Starting point is 01:09:44 and you would want to be the good guy. But then after a while, you might as well switch it up. Switch it up. It happens with video games all the time. Right. At first you start, you're trying to be the hero,
Starting point is 01:09:55 and then you just start running over pedestrians for no reason. That's how it always ends. Right. But I mean, just as a, because you're a rich person and you're like, I want to have this dream of a singer, I'm going to pay a bunch of people to pretend I'm a good singer and clap for me and sign me. Well, in the show, they always were. Oh, they were a good singer. They were always a good singer. They just couldn't quite get a break or they were too nervous or what, okay.
Starting point is 01:10:21 I don't, I am, I am digging way back into the Glenbeck memory vaults. You know, it's not like I've not like I've said to the kids. You guys want to watch a great show from the 70s. Let's watch Fantasy Island. I don't think that's ever been said. That might have been the first time that phrase has ever come out of another person's mouth. Probably true. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Probably true. I would rather watch Fantasy Island than this debate tonight, though. I will say that. How about I watch Fantasy Island and give you a report on it and you watch the debate? How about this? I watch the NFL. You watch Fantasy Island and we don't give the audience a report on it. We'll spare them to torture.
Starting point is 01:10:56 I'm in. We need to get like to someone from the audience. audience should just call in. Like I, because I want to watch the game. And Glenn wants to watch Fantasy Island or, you know, duck tails or... What is that worth? What is that worth? What is that worth? What is that? Yeah. What if we bribe an audience member to watch this to be? No, no, no, we're not bribing. That would be wrong. We're going to pay them. We're going to pay them a living wage. A living wage. A living wage. Yeah. $15 an hour. It's three hours. $15. We'll give you $45 in Applebee's gift cards since we've been talking about Applebee's tonight.
Starting point is 01:11:26 I don't know why Applebee's. I wouldn't do that. Would you do that? You'd watch that whole thing for $45. $45 worth of prizes. How about that? We'll have Marissa dig around the prize closet for all the stuff that we haven't given away. I would not know.
Starting point is 01:11:41 I'm sorry to play the union negotiator here for the audience. But I don't think that's right. I think you should have family leave. We can't take family leave. It's a three hour job. I think you should have breaks. You should be able to have a break. They have commercial.
Starting point is 01:11:57 You got to go out and drink for an hour after the first hour. I'm okay with that. You could take a break during either commercials or when Hulian Castro is speaking. One of those two, you could take a break. I don't think he's going to be speaking that much. No, I don't think so either. I think of this is a good. We should see if there's someone who will give us a report on this so we don't have to do it.
Starting point is 01:12:14 I'll do. We'll double it. I'll give you $100 just to watch the debate and then report back to us. So we can pretend that we watch the debate. I mean, first of all, I love the fact. that we're giving away your money for this purpose. I think it's a great idea. Can we do that?
Starting point is 01:12:30 Is that allowed? Are we allowed to give away $100 to some random? I mean, I don't see why not. It's my show. It's my money. I know, but you know, there's all these rules on this,
Starting point is 01:12:38 you know, when you're doing contests. But this is not contest. This is not a freelancer. We're hiring a freelancer. Right. Yes, I like this. So you hire a freelancer for three hours tonight. The pay is 33, 33 an hour.
Starting point is 01:12:50 That's a living wage. It's a very solid living wage. More than Elizabeth Warren is paying her people. Oh, I'm sure. And all you have to do is watch it and take some notes and tell us which clips we should play back the next day. Right. Right.
Starting point is 01:13:05 What the good parts were. You can't be a dummy. No, yeah. You have to be a dummy. So you can't have gone to an Ivy League college. You can't. No. You're disqualified?
Starting point is 01:13:18 Yes, you come out as an idiot on the other end. Well, but I want someone who's not, and it can't just be, oh, where we're going to just only mock the candidates. Like, I want to hear what crazy proposals they have, not just, you know, Joe Biden's eye fell out an hour two. Like, we need to have a little bit more. His eye just bopped out and rolled around the stage and he didn't even realize it. We might want to have a doctor.
Starting point is 01:13:42 We might want to get an actual physician. This is interesting. Because, and maybe a brain surgeon, because he's had aneurysm, aneurysm. So somebody that could actually, now it would go up. The price would probably go up. That'd probably be 50 bucks an hour. I think we could, anyone with some medical knowledge.
Starting point is 01:13:59 I mean, look, most of these candidates are like 112 years old. I mean, this is not a spry group. We need someone who can see, who can, you can sense a medical issues. All right. And what you'll do is you'll watch it tonight and you'll come on the show with us tomorrow. Okay. And we'll pay you that living wage of 3333 an hour. Three hours of work.
Starting point is 01:14:20 And we'll maybe get some bonus for you actually having to get up the next day and actually regurgitated. I don't. What are you doing? I am working for the people. I am one of the people. You steamrolling bank loving capitalists pig. All I care about are oil profits.
Starting point is 01:14:34 I don't understand why you're giving this away. No, I think that's a, I think it's fair. I mean, look, I would not do this for $100. If I were in the audience right now, I would not do this. If I said to you, I'm paying you to do this already. Yeah, here's the thing. You are saying that to me.
Starting point is 01:14:52 You are paying me to watch this debate. and I'm going to watch the NFL game instead. That's happening. If we want to make this, if we want to have correct coverage. I'm paying you to watch it. You're paying me much more than $100. So who are you paying to watch it? And why am I paying a secondary person?
Starting point is 01:15:11 Well, you have to watch it too. This is coming out of your pay. I don't think that's appropriate. I think that's very appropriate. You also get paid for this job. I don't know if you know this. And you don't want to watch either. But I have lots of things that I've.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Me too. I got things to do. Here's my question. Will someone kneel on the field tonight? I don't know. I better be there to watch it. I better find out if someone's protesting that darn flag tonight. You can call us if you want to be considered and you got to give us, you know, give us some credentials here.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Why you should be the person that we hire to watch this so we don't have to. And then report it back to us so we can claim that we watched it for the listener who, didn't watch it because nobody wants to watch this. I think this is a fair deal. Yeah. It's a fair deal. I'm not sure it's market. I'm not sure it's priced market appropriate. It's true. We may be undercutting the market a little bit.
Starting point is 01:16:08 By about $5,000. Somebody out there probably needs $100. Yeah. You know? Three hours of sitting on your couch. What, are you going to Venmo it to them or something? All right. Here it is. Real estate agents, I trust.
Starting point is 01:16:19 It is really hard, really hard to be a great real estate. agent. That's why there's a difference in agents. He can't really moonlight as a real estate agent. It's a full-time job. It's complex. There's all kinds of things that, you know, really only serious people should be approaching this. And you have to work really hard as well. The amount of paperwork alone is enough to scare any sane person. This is why my wife and I started real estate agents. I trust.com. Because who is doing this? this and and how do you find the right person that can actually sell your home? We took the time to find out what the best practices were and what makes a great real estate agent. We use that as our
Starting point is 01:17:05 template. We hired a lot of agents since then. Thousands of them come from this audience. We only have a thousand that are actually on our list. We have thousands, 5,000 others that want to be a part of this team, but we want to make sure that everybody is exactly right. So if we don't have a real estate agent in your area, which is sometimes can be. If we don't have a real estate agent, we won't recommend one. We want to make sure this person is going to sell your home for the most amount of money. They're going to do it right. They're going to do it fast and help you find an ex-home. And if it's not in that area, we'll find a real estate agent for you in another area. The real estate agents, I trust.com. That's real estate agents.itrust.com.
Starting point is 01:17:49 You're listening to Glenn Beck. We're paying a listener 100 bucks if they'll actually watch the debate tonight and then come on and report it and give us enough information so we can sound like we watched it because none of us want to watch it.

Starting point is 01:21:00 Let both of you on tomorrow to report. You're listening to Glenn Beck. Tell you a story this hour about a guy who moved. to the United States from India. And he moved in February of 2001. And he was just starting life out. He really loved America from afar. And he was standing in his office just a few months later.
Starting point is 01:21:33 And he said to himself, he heard kind of God talk to him and said, you know, your life is going to change. And he was thinking, I am just going after money right now. now. What is my life really all about? He didn't realize that just a few floors above him, a plane was about to hit his new office. Sujo John is his name, and he loves America now more than ever, and his life is such a remarkable story. You need to hear it. He joins me in one minute. Glenn Beck program. So next spring, we're taking the cruise through history, and it's going to be filled with all kinds of exciting events, lots of food, lots of fun, presentations by David Barton and Rabbi Lappin,
Starting point is 01:22:29 Bill O'Reilly will be there, I will be there, Pat and Stu will be there, and we have a floating museum of really fascinating artifacts that are going to show you what we took from Venice, what we took from Athens, what we took from Jerusalem and the Temple Mount that built us into a very different country, we need to renew that. And so we are going to be renewing a vow in, in, what is it? Next year is 2020? Jeez, that seems weird. Next year in 2020, we have to change course. And it's going to be a lot of fun. You're going to see amazing things. This This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We only have a few cabins left, and I'd love to sell these out in the next couple of weeks.
Starting point is 01:23:21 It is all 100% inclusive. You just have to get to the airport. Then the flights and everything taken care of until you return home. It is really, truly, once in a lifetime. Bring your family, if you can. Come sailaway.com. Come sailaway.com. Learn more now.
Starting point is 01:23:38 Come sailaway.com. Sujo John is his name. He's a 9-11 survivor. and a founder of something called You Can Free Us. He has an amazing story. Welcome, Sujo. How are you? Great, then. Good to be back with you. I want to take the radio audience through your story a bit.
Starting point is 01:24:11 First of all, you were living in India, and had moving to America always been a part of your plan or your dream, and if so, why? Great question. A lot of reasons why. America, you know, even for those from how, happy around the world. America always stands out as this amazing place where dreams and dreamers collide. And if you have a dream somewhere within you in some part of the world, everybody wants to come to this country. And that was part of me. And my view of America was through the lengths
Starting point is 01:24:40 of television, movies, and arts. And then growing up in India where, you know, as Christians, you're a minority, I just knew that America's that place that's been founded on Judeo-Christian principles. So that was another big reason why I wanted to come here. And everything that America stands for is, It's very appealing at drawing to people at the other side of the world where they want to build their dreams. And in this country, it's not about your pedigree. It's not about your last name. If you can add value, you can make something out of your life in this country. I don't think there's any country in the world that provides that foundation, Glenn.
Starting point is 01:25:13 It's so good to hear this from people who actually know because we have lost our way so far. We don't see the uniqueness of America when you're living in it. So you come to the United States in February of 2001, and you find yourself a pretty good job. You are working on what floor of the World Trade Center? So, Glenn, I came with $50, two bags, and tell people loaded with a lot of dreams, and of all the places I find work on the 81st floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center. And what are you doing? I'm doing marketing for a telecommunications company, my dream.
Starting point is 01:25:53 dream was to start actually a data center to get into the telecom world. And so I was building my steps towards that and trying to understand what life is all about in America. What does true capitalism mean? Because growing up in India, although they believe in capitalism, it's not quite a capitalist economy. And I was just so excited to come to the, of all the places in New York City, I mean, almost like the nuclear reactor of capitalism around the world that have created the wealth, which not only helps people have a better life, but solves problems around the world. So that was my goal. And my wife also works there.
Starting point is 01:26:28 She was working on the 71st floor of the south power of the World Trade Center. So both of us at offices at the World Trade Center. And she was pregnant. She was four months pregnant, Glenn. And that was an exciting season in our life as we are getting ready for our baby to arrive, our first child. And then life takes such an incredible turn on September 11, 2001. And you feel like on September 11th,
Starting point is 01:26:53 you're there. What time in the morning did you get there? I got a little past 7.30 that morning. I would start work usually earlier around 8, so I was early that morning, 7.30. And Glenn, you lived in New York. You remember it was a clear cloudless day. Beautiful. Beautiful day. And then everything would change forever. So you're there. And you, before the plane hits, just literally a few minutes before it hits, you sent an email to a friend who went to church with you. Yes. You know, I was, like you mentioned earlier, I was empty on the inside. You know, then you know this. And a lot of people listening to you know this. Life is not just about consumption.
Starting point is 01:27:35 And sometimes we get wrapped up in stuff, junk. I call it the junk and the funk around us. And we think life is all about the next new thing, the next new toy, the next new gadget. And sadly, that was me in America. I could reach things that money could get. But then there was a hole in my heart. And I knew my purpose. for which God sent me to this great land was not just to make money, there's something more. And I felt like I was almost losing that mission, losing the plot. So I wrote an email to my friend saying, I know there's a call of God upon my life. I've been chasing stuff in America.
Starting point is 01:28:08 I want to be chasing that which is on God's heart. And I send that at 8.05 in the morning from the Twin Towers. You don't know that your wife is running late, if I remember right, and not in her office. Which tower was hit first? Hers or yours? My tower was hit first. The North Tower was hit first. This incredible explosion that almost rips the building.
Starting point is 01:28:37 American flight level, a Boeing 767, with 440, flying at 440 miles an hour carrying 10,000 gallons of jet fuel. And how many floors above you, was it? The plane literally struck about 8 to 8, 9 floors above us, but part of the wing of the plane rips through our floor. As everyone who's seen those images, they would know that the plane went in an angle into the building. So there was fire that got struck around us as jet fuel dumps its way all through the building. And did you see the plane coming toward the building?
Starting point is 01:29:12 I didn't see the plane, but someone on my floor saw the plane. Everything happened so fast. But we felt this incredible explosion, the building rattling. And we knew as a plane, what else could hit you at that height. But all of us, Glenn thought it was a small commuter. plane, probably a pilot, you know, had a cardiac problem or something and crashed the plane. Nobody knew it was a big jet plane and nobody knew that it was actually a terrorist attack, that it was intentionally flowing into the building.
Starting point is 01:29:38 So did you start to get out then? Yeah, we fought away to the fire on the jet field and started running down. And that's when I passed all these brave firemen and policemen, these incredibly brave men and heroes of our country. We were going down and they were going up. So we high-fived them saying, you guys are the real heroes. We had no idea that would be the last time America would be seeing these brave men. So we started running down, and I'm running down with a very heavy heart. Phones aren't working.
Starting point is 01:30:08 I can't reach my wife. So I come down 81 floors. I reached the plaza level, and from there we were told, go down one more level to the concourse level. And I'm walking toward the South Tower, to be looking for my wife if she has now gone up. and that's when the South Tower collapses around me. Wow.
Starting point is 01:30:28 And so it, I mean, I would imagine it was a little terrifying with everything falling around you that you felt like you might get hit by things? Or were you far enough away? No, I was actually almost right in front of the building. And it was an amazing story of God's deliverance. I'm 20 feet away from the building. I made my way to the revolving doors of the towers that take you literally in front there. and that's when the ground starts shaking, the glass is shattering, and I'm with 15, 20 people, and we started crying out, and we were on top of each other, and I started preparing them.
Starting point is 01:31:03 I told them, we're going to die, and I told them call upon the name of Jesus. We knew time was short, and we started praying our last prayer, thinking we were going to die. So I was buried in that debris at that moment. I was in a pocket of about three feet of soot and ash. The steel was the only thing that really survived. Everything was pulverized into ash and dust. And the first building, when it came down, the front facade of the building stood up for a while. And I was right there.
Starting point is 01:31:30 So that's probably what saved my life. And everything went as if the way a mushroom is. It just went past us. So that protected me. But then I was bird in debris. And I was pulled out by a man, an incredibly brave FBI agent. And as he pulled me and I pulled him, we both told each other we're going to die. He said he was the FBI.
Starting point is 01:31:50 And I told him, do you know where? you're going, he said, yes, I know my savior. And we thought we were going to die, choking all the sit on the ash. And that's when a red light flashes, and we start crawling away. And that light lead us out of the pit. The man says, I got to go back, runs into the North Tower, which was still standing. The ground shakes. The North Tower goes down. This brave American hero died that day. Do you know his name? Yeah, his name is Lenny Hayton, who was left behind four children. He was a bomb technician for the FBI. Actually, the only active FBI agent to have died that day.
Starting point is 01:32:25 His story is just incredible. I've had an opportunity to meet his wife and just to know about his life. Another story of another man who could have avoided that place, but he felt so driven by love for his country and fellow human beings on the call of duty that just made him race and run back into the towers to look for more people. And Glenn, I just want to say something here. That's what makes America great. You know, when people talk about make America great,
Starting point is 01:32:52 I say the people of America, great, America great. It's not our money, it's not our building, it's not our technology. The fact that there are people that are willing to love on their neighbor, there are people that care for this country. And I've heard you, I've seen you on television, met you in person, and I know beyond what you do in the media, it's a true love that you have for America that makes people like you speak up on issues,
Starting point is 01:33:16 people that want to protect this country, knowing what's about to happen. And for me, who's come from India, that's what I love about America, the great American spirit that's deeply interested in everyone that calls themselves an American. Sujo, I'm going to take a one-minute break
Starting point is 01:33:31 and then I'm going to come back and I want you to tell people what happened afterwards because that was a big change in your life. The ground shook, literally, and figuratively, and you have gone on to do some remarkable things and I want to hear the second part of your life now in one minute. Stand by.
Starting point is 01:33:59 Okay, great deal from Tocovus. I want to tell you about it is a free gift with any order over $150. And I'll tell you about that here in a second. But first I want to remind you who Tukovus is. Tocovus was started by a couple of guys who here in Texas, they thought, you know, I love boots. I love cowboy boots. But they are getting so crazy expensive. I mean, if you're in Texas and you want good cowboy boots, you go into a store and you're like,
Starting point is 01:34:22 Yeah, like, what about this pair? Well, that's $5,000. What are you crazy? You can pay so much for cowboy boots. And, well, they're all handcrafted and they're all blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then you go and you find another boot and it's like $35 and it sucks. What they try to do was give you that really, really handcrafted boot and give it to you at about half the price. So their boots are, you know, a couple hundred bucks, $300, but they always.
Starting point is 01:34:52 are they are like $800 boots um you will love them they are all hand done takes 200 steps they do all kinds of different things in leather so the they've got the bags and the belts and everything else and they make really great i love their jeans really great jeans and clothing you can find them at tocovis now here's a special if you buy something and you spend 150 dollars you're going to get a free it's a card case it's like a little wallet it's what i carry around with me it's a burgundy in color again it's hand stitched it's really nice uh it's a 50 dollar value they're going to give it to you for free just because they want to say thank you they don't usually do this because they you know price their things appropriately so it's a great deal for you and a good deal
Starting point is 01:35:37 for them uh it is tocovis tec ovacovas dot com slash beck go there now tocovis dot com slash beck when you make that uh 150 dollar purchase make sure you enter the promo code beck checkout and you'll get the free gift from Tukovas. We pause for 10 seconds then back. You know, uh, Sujo and I were talking, um, yesterday. He was on television. So we were talking just the other day about, uh, the thing that he's working on. And we both believe that, um, the only way that we're going to save this nation and save freedom of mankind is if we put into action, the things and the and really the covenant that are pilgrims and George Washington and Abraham Lincoln made with God. And that is, we will serve you.
Starting point is 01:36:43 And the best way to serve God, as Benjamin Franklin said, was to serve your fellow man. The one thing that we can all agree on now and not argue about is slavery is horrible and needs to be stopped. And it's worse today than it's ever been. So here's this guy who's chasing the almighty dollar in the World Trade Center. They come down and Sujo, you believe that you were directed and saved you and saved that day to be able to do something different than just making money. Absolutely, Glenn. And I felt God calling me into this and the fact that I was rescued, that someone who rescued
Starting point is 01:37:26 me gave up his life. And that's the story of the gospel narrative. God sends his son to look for broken people like us. And the fact that heaven rescued you and me compels us. Our fate compels us to look for people. And the message of Jesus was, he came to set the captives free. And there are people spiritually captive and there's also physically captive. So I got exposed to this problem, Glenn, about modern slavery, how there's 41 million people in slavery.
Starting point is 01:37:54 year. When I saw the conditions, and I know you've seen it in different parts of the world, where women are kept in cells and cages. I remember being in a red light district, 37,000 sex workers and women kept in these cages three feet by six feet. I felt in that moment something common with those girls. I felt like I know what is to be trapped. And if someone came and rescued me, perhaps God is tapping on me to rescue these women and children on his behalf. And I saw that in India and I come back and I knew America is a place where people are generous and I came and started talking about this problem and we started this nonprofit called You Can Free us. And this has become my life calling. This has become my mission. And this is a problem
Starting point is 01:38:35 in America. It's a problem in the Middle East. It's a problem in Asia. A global problem. Every zip code. Our children are vulnerable. And so that's been our mission looking for women and children who are trapped in sex slavery, but beyond sex slavery, children also trapped in labor trafficking. And I'm excited. You have a passion, Glenn, with Nazarene Fund and what you've done and helping Christians flee from war-torn countries where they're under the threat of ISIS. And I'm so excited that we get an opportunity to talk about this and also work in the future on a problem that is one of the greatest evils of our times.
Starting point is 01:39:12 If we don't engage right now in this problem, a generation that's coming up behind us will say, why did you not do enough? I want to share something with you. You also may have been in these places around the world. There have been horrors of the past. I remember being in Elmara Castle in Ghana, and they tell you about the slave trade. I've been in places where Hitler ran wild and wiped up millions of Jews, and we stand in those places and we question. And we ask, why did people not do enough? And so this is our problem in our world, and we've got to do whatever we can.
Starting point is 01:39:46 There is a cry rising from the brothels of the world. There is a cry rising from children and women. And the question is, are we listening to that cry? You know, it's amazing to me. The New York Times just started selling something called 1619. It's a podcast, a serial that they're doing on the year 1619. They say that's the year of really America's founding, because that's when race, that's when slavery was brought here. But our pilgrims came in 1620. And it's the 400th anniversary of our pilgrims the
Starting point is 01:40:17 year after. And you know, you can either look back and blame everything on that. And I don't know what you're gaining out of that except more anger and frustration. And you're not lifting anybody up. Instead, we should be looking towards today because I can't do anything to change what people did in the past, but I don't want to be remembered as the people in the past that did nothing and were, you know, involved in cakes and circuses. And this problem is real. And if we can come together and solve the problem today, it will solve the problems of the past.
Starting point is 01:40:57 It will heal those wounds. So, well said. And I want to say something. It may not be politically correct. I just want to tell your listeners that's listening to us, Glenn, right now. Don't get discouraged when liberals beat you about the problem of slavery of the past. If those people care so much about things that happened in the past, I want to encourage them. Come join people like us in the fight of this problem that's happening right now.
Starting point is 01:41:23 I don't know of any country in the world, Glenn, that has shed its blood on the issue of slavery. I looked up the numbers the other day. It's almost 600,000 people. Under a million Americans got killed in the Civil War. So America's paid the price with blood on this issue of slavery. slavery, and as we all aware of, and somehow this history is now being passed down, and there are people who come up and talk about the past and say we have to get involved in repatriations for a small group of people that caused this problem, that was a global problem. But how about a problem right now
Starting point is 01:41:54 in our streets? How about a problem right now around the world? And you and I and everyone who cares about this problem right or left can be part of a great solution. Thank you, Sujo. Sujo, John, I encourage you to check out his organization and help what you can. It's you can free.us. You can free dot us. Check him out and join the fight. Join the growing numbers of people who are saying, you know what, let's deal with real problems.
Starting point is 01:42:24 You're listening to Glenn Beck. Let me tell you story about Winnie. She's 54 years old. She's been driving a school bus for the last 15 years. And she has, I mean, imagine that. You're picking kids up and you're watching them grow every year and go from young children, young men and women going out into the world. It's a job that is satisfying, but I mean, you know, you're not making a lot of money or whatever.
Starting point is 01:42:52 And she has real problems with on cold winter mornings, the pain in her hands over the last several years had become to the point where she couldn't handle it anymore. Then she heard about relief factor and it changed her life. she's driving again this year. She's getting back on the bus, and she's, can you imagine driving a bus, especially in pain with your hands? She doesn't have to now
Starting point is 01:43:17 stop watching those kids grow into great adults. She called Relief Factor, and I recommend that you do it too. She has the same story that I did. My hands were in such pain. I couldn't take it. Relieffactor.com, Relieffactor.com,
Starting point is 01:43:30 or you can call 800, 500, 883, 84, 800, 500, 8,3,4. Just try it. It works for 70% of the, people who tried the three-week quick start. Just do that. Relieffactor.com. You know, I really think Wells Fargo should just shut down business.
Starting point is 01:43:55 I mean, you know, just everybody just walk away. Leave your keys on the desk. Everybody should just walk away. Seems ill-advised for a company of that size. Yeah, well, you might want to get the wagons back out and start again. They're having a hard time finding a CEO. And who really wants to run Wells Fargo? I am available.
Starting point is 01:44:13 You're available. Yes, I am available. to be hired. I mean, I've got to be better than nobody. That's true. Well,
Starting point is 01:44:20 I can be a figurehead. Yeah. Yeah. I can go on TV and say, you know, oh, the Wells Fargo wagon is a common down. That you could do that.
Starting point is 01:44:30 I could do that. Okay. So, not many people can. Anyway, so they were talking about this on CNBC. And I think Elizabeth Warren played this perfectly.
Starting point is 01:44:45 But this is, is truly what's going on in businesses of all levels all around the country. Listen to this conversation with Jim Kramer. How is it possible that this company cannot find a CEO? I mean, are they worried about Elizabeth Warren attacking that? She or he would be. Of course they are. And of course that person is.
Starting point is 01:45:05 Why wouldn't they be? I don't know. If she becomes president, what do you think is going to happen to the banks? Well, it's not a suboptimal situation. It would be so up. You think Elizabeth Warren pushes banks into it? Well, they're already down 20% from the highs, but... Yeah, I just think that there were these curies in the 30s
Starting point is 01:45:28 where they brought rich people in front of Congress just kind of trash them. It's effective. About 20 years later, we had the least discrepancy in incomes in the 50s and 60s. I don't know what's going to happen. Look, I've got to tell you, when you get off the desk, you talk to executives, they're more fearful of her winning. I mean, I've never
Starting point is 01:45:50 heard anybody say. Look, she's got to be stopped. She's got to be stopped. I don't know. She's very, she keeps going up in the polls. She's raised a ton of money. She's going to win Iowa, I believe. She's a very compelling
Starting point is 01:46:05 figure on the stump. By the way, I hear it too, and it's another reason why companies are being implored to do things now. if you want to get something done, you really think of, M&A or anything. Think about doing it soon because come early to mid-2020,
Starting point is 01:46:26 if Elizabeth Warren's rolling along, everybody's going to be like, that's it. It's true. It's absolutely, it's why I've been telling you, you have to refire your house. You have to take care of business. You've got to get, you know, as solvent as you can,
Starting point is 01:46:42 get the money in gold, get it safe places. the banks are not necessarily safe places, you know, in really bad situations. But if the Democrats put somebody in office like Elizabeth Warren or will put her into a real position in the next White House, you're going to see the banks. They will just, they won't loan money. They won't. They are going to hold on to any kind of money that they have because they're going to be under attack.
Starting point is 01:47:13 I didn't see how Elizabeth Warren handled this. but my guess is she's using it as a campaign commercial. She ran it and she just tweeted, I'm Elizabeth Warren and I approve this message. Did she really? Yeah. Oh, my, that's brilliant. It's smart.
Starting point is 01:47:25 I mean, look, to that audience, destroying businesses deemed as evil, even ones that we interact with all the time. People will be surprised at what happens when your bank doesn't have any money or your bank doesn't want to loan money. I mean, you know, how do you pay in the money? for stuff. You know, she, she, it's easy, right? This is, this is why, um, it's why these things are so ridiculous, these debates and such. All she's trying to do is find a way to say things that are,
Starting point is 01:48:02 uh, as far left as possible. She means it. And she, oh, she absolutely means it. She means it. But she also is not incentivized to, like, it's not a sane argument to say we want to tear down the financial institution. I mean, we talked about healthcare being, what, one, six of the economy. What is it? Finance and insurance, these combined industries are about, you know,
Starting point is 01:48:27 $1.5 trillion, about 7%. So about half the size of the financial sector is a giant chunk of our economy. It's half as big as the entire health care market. So you don't just tear it down. They did health care. Well, I mean, you could argue that. I mean, I would say, obviously,
Starting point is 01:48:45 these companies are still in business. And maybe that's what she'll try to justify it. But I mean, she, her idea that people are scared of her right now is a positive, right? When she's president, it's not because the economy tanks and then all of a sudden her approval rates go through the floor. If she looks like she's going to win and it will be blamed on Trump, but let's say she becomes the nominee and she's polling well, the market will price it in.
Starting point is 01:49:13 The market will crash. before and it will hasten her into the market. Yeah. Or her into the White House. If it looks like she has a chance to win. Now, again, if there's any Democratic candidate that Donald Trump can win against,
Starting point is 01:49:27 it should be Elizabeth Warren. I mean, if Elizabeth Warren, if you can't beat Elizabeth Warren. Except Elizabeth Warren's message. Look, if the economy tanks, that's a whole other situation. I'm for all of the antitrust stuff that the states are doing.
Starting point is 01:49:42 You know, I don't know about all of them, but I think with Google and Facebook and all the things that they're doing, I'm glad the states are looking into antitrust. I was standing in the newsroom yesterday and I said, hey, does anybody, does anybody know, wasn't the Microsoft antitrust movement? Wasn't that at the top? Wasn't that the last straw before the dot-com bubble? We looked it up.
Starting point is 01:50:09 Yes, it was. That was filed. right at the very top of the the dot-com boom. Now, did that, you know, did that cause it? No, I think it was just really strong last straw that was on top. We're doing this now with 50 antitrust litigation coming from the different states for Google. It's 48 states too, I think. Yeah, it's a full on onslaught, which I am for.
Starting point is 01:50:45 Yeah. But you have to, you just have to be very, very aware of every, all of the cards that are on the table. It is a house of cards. You have China. You have the instability of the Middle East. You have Brexit going on. You have Deutsche Bank. You have Wells Fargo and all of their scandals.
Starting point is 01:51:07 You have bigger debt than we had before. in 2008. You have an out-of-control printing press all over the world. You have banks with no more bullets in their guns, because most of them, except ours, are already into zero or negative interest rates. So if it falls apart, there's nobody to catch it, and we're the last one standing. Mark my words, trillions of dollars are being flooded in. when I saw President Trump say yesterday that the Fed really needs to lower the interest rates
Starting point is 01:51:44 and get them down to zero or below zero. No, Mr. President. No, please don't do that. Please. We, A, have to have some bullets left in our gun. Don't spend them now. And, B, the only reason why we're getting billions and billions of dollars from overseas investing in America right now because we're the last.
Starting point is 01:52:08 one standing and that will promise some sort of an interest rate. You take that interest rate to zero or below. They'll take their money out and they'll do something else with it. Right now, we are performing, but we're the last one on earth that is performing. So you have all these things that are just being built up. Then you have an election where somebody is saying, by the way, I'm going to get rid of the free market. If she is the nominee, The market could crash just because companies are like, you know what, pull everything back. Pull everything back. Don't you want to do something, do it right now.
Starting point is 01:52:49 And we're going to pull everything back because we don't know what the world will be like. It doesn't like change, especially the unknown change. And so that could cause the market to absolutely collapse. We could spiral the whole world. That's what we're dealing with in the next 12 months. And I don't think anybody is actually explaining that. Just the realistic fear of having somebody like Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders who is saying, I'm going to change the financial structure of America.
Starting point is 01:53:26 It will change everything. You have to. It has to. If you're running a business and you're seeing this storm coming, you're battening down the hatches, right? That's what you do. You cut expenditures as much as you possibly can, which will stop growth, will bring unemployment. You take and you just cut things out. If you have money in the market, you don't know what's going to happen to financial institutions.
Starting point is 01:53:54 If Elizabeth Warren and you are invested, and many of us are teachers, unions included, if you're invested in the financial sector, you better pull your damn money out of there if you think Elizabeth. Warren is going to even be just a big part of the new team. Yeah. Because that's going to hurt those stocks in your investment. So what happens? That hurts the banks even more because now you're taking that money out. And then if you want to take your money out, you're the last one. They changed this.
Starting point is 01:54:28 You don't get your money on deposit at a bank. You're down in the bottom of the waterfall. Yeah. As soon as they go bankrupt or they have a problem, you're not getting your money. I keep going back and forth on this and I don't I honestly it's like a law and order episode where I think the person's really guilty
Starting point is 01:54:42 and then they're really innocent and then they're really innocent whoever whatever lawyer is making the argument is the one I think is telling the truth but it's like I don't know in my mind whether to root for Joe Biden to win this primary
Starting point is 01:54:56 or Elizabeth Warren to win this primary and the argument in my head goes like this Joe Biden is probably has a better chance to win the election. However, if he wins, he's less worse, at least by a little bit. Depends on who his vice president is, because I'm not sure he makes it for years.
Starting point is 01:55:18 Yeah, I mean, God forbid. But you know what I'm saying? It's like this idea of he's probably less, he's, let's just say he runs it like Obama ran it. Yeah. I mean, like, it's less worse than Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders. On the other hand, Warren or Sanders, I think would be easier to beat. But if they win somehow, catastrophic.
Starting point is 01:55:38 Catastrophic for the country. And I don't think anybody has baked in the fact of the catastrophe that would happen before. Remember, when Donald Trump took office, what happened to the stock market? It didn't go through the roof. It just continued to go up. The more it looked like he was going to be the president, the more the stock market went up. And they kept saying, well, it's all priced in. It's all priced in.
Starting point is 01:56:05 They've already priced in that this is going to be good for banks and business. And they saw Hillary Clinton as more like a Biden figure. Correct. So everything kind of went long. If you have polls that show that Warren is the candidate and Warren is even close, the market will price that in and say, I'm sorry, guys, but I got to get my money out of here. I don't know what's going to happen.
Starting point is 01:56:32 So you will have real slowdown. and real economic problems, not from anything the president is doing, just because you have someone saying, I'm going to change the financial sector entirely when I get into office. It will cause this massive slowdown, maybe even collapse, and it will hasten Warren into office because the media will blame all of that on capitalism and Donald Trump. Yeah. The only, I mean, I'm just coming to this now,
Starting point is 01:57:04 because I've been back and forth too, but now that I'm saying this out loud, the only candidate we can afford to have is Joe Biden. Because there won't be that fear in the markets. It's a tough one. I can understand both sides of it. It's like Elizabeth Warren, like I, there's a lot of people around the country that don't like the Dallas Cowboys.
Starting point is 01:57:25 Okay. That's Joe Biden. He doesn't really like capitalism all that much. Elizabeth Warren is like me. I have a visceral hatred for the Dallas Cowboys.
