We're going to Venice. Then we're going to Athens, Croatia, Dubrovnik, which is the place where they filmed, what was it, Kings Landing?

Well, yeah, I'm asking you, Game of Thrones. Kings Landing, is that what it was called? You didn't want. All right. I think it was called Kings Landing. Anyway, it's a beautiful place. And then we're going to the... the Holy Land. I hear Jim Caviesel is coming with us. We're going to watch the new film about Operation Underground Railroad with Jim Caviesel.

Ilanamar. Elanomar. So Alon Amar, we have our special on her tomorrow. And, you know, we were trying to find a way to explain. this whole marriage between her and her brother and we had no idea how to how to do that we have I mean we we decided we were going to do it through kind of a do we did we name it that 70 show it's a working title it's a working

title the show is tomorrow you know we have because we were going through it's kind of like all in the family it's a little like the Brady bunch maybe Gilligan's Island we're trying to figure out a way because it's a very complex story, but one that everybody needs to understand. Because there are some felonies involved here. And the evidence is a little overwhelming. Now, we're going to bring you up to a place to where I think this needs to be going to a grand jury. There's just no way to go past this at this point.

it has to be answered by her and you know the FBI needs to be involved if anybody is interested by the way while everybody is focusing on the racism of Donald Trump has anybody noticed

what Alon Amar has done she has come out and asked Congress to stop supporting Israel and support the boycott and divestment of

of Israel. I love that because people are like, well, one of the big pieces of evidence that she is anti-Semitic is this BDS movement. She's like, let's put it in the law. Okay, all right. Okay. All right. Well, you're not fighting.

I wouldn't say, it's like, they're like, oh, well, is Donald Trump racist? He said, you know, he wanted that the people on the both sides are good people. And then he's, and then people question him about it. He's like, well, you know what? KKK is coming to visit me today. It's like, wait a minute. Wait. Whoa.

In fact, we're going to write it into law that they get a national holiday. What? All right. I guess they solved that one for us. Here she is. She says she's not, this is not anti-Semitic. She's just protecting the people, the Palestinian people, from the Israeli occupation. First of all, there's never been a country named Palestine.

And the so-called occupation is just the... Well, there's never been 94 genders either, but that didn't stop anything. Right. So she says that everybody should boycott Israel. And she says that Jews have hypnotized the world. She has used tropes about the money-grubbing American Jews. It sounds so much better with this music in the background. It does, doesn't it?

They have dual loyalties to Israel while spreading conspiracy theories about A-PAC. she says also that the Jews own the Republican Party and she has also scoffed at the idea that Israel was even a democracy. I would laugh at the idea that Jews own the Republican Party except for the fact that that would be the typical way Republicans would do. Like the Republicans are there and they still only get like 25% of the vote from the group that runs them.

That may be the evidence. That may be the evidence that they do it and they do it kind of crappily. and never, ever get any credit for it. So our Lottamar update and our special is tomorrow. We ask you to subscribe to the Blaze. If you're already a subscriber, thank you so much. This is going to be a good one. I have a feeling there's a lot of comedy in this one.

There is. And I think it's most useful to people besides the fact that you get to laugh and probably hear that song again. And others. And others. It's almost a musical. Almost a musical at this point. It is. It is.

But I think just being able to visually understand what she's being accused of is really important because it's really complicated. Yeah. And that is honestly why we started with the Al Ananamar. It's so complex. And so we started, you know, we started with one 70s show. And then as we went, we were like, well, it might be more like this 70s show. And I'm not sure if we're going to. sure if we're going to be able to decide by tomorrow, it might be all of the 70s show to try to

explain exactly what's happened. Now, I will tell you that Stu claims to have run out of time to act out, be Alon Omar as a sock puppet. He claims that, you know, I guess he's used to Shakespeare, where they have weeks and weeks to memorize lines. And so I'm still trying to convince him to play Alon Amar, as only Stu could play her as a sock puppet. That is, on tomorrow's television broadcast. Please sign up for the Blaze right now.

Did you see that AOC has a challenger now? Yes, I did see this. Yeah. I mean, you kind of have to believe that she's very safe in her particular district till the end of time.

Well, maybe not. Well, the Republican challenger. Now, I understand that you get, you know, you get what you can take at, you know, places like her district. But this is the Republican challenger. she admitted to the New York Post that she voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Okay. Well, all right. All right.

That's happened. You know, there's some, there are a lot of people who did that. I mean, he won both elections. Yeah. You know, you're in New York City. Mm-hmm. You know, probably hard to find people who didn't do that. Right.

Mm-hmm. Last June, when Acosio Cortez won against the Democratic incumbent, she tweeted, congratulations, Alexandria. Queens is headed in a new direction and it's time for a new leadership. Hashtag yes. Well, I mean, I guess you could say they certainly were headed in a new direction. And now maybe that was just the person saying, look, it's time for new leadership. So like almost like, you know, announcing the campaign, you know, maybe didn't mean.

All right. So here's, I mean, that would be, you know, you can. claim that if it wasn't that she also posted with her congratulations, the CNN article, with the headline, 28-year-old Democratic Socialists just ousted powerful 10-term congressman in New York. Okay, yeah, that takes a little bit of the shine off of my theory there. Right. Then she tweeted on Friday because people are like, wait, are you really a Republican? She said, well, I was hopeful when AOC won.

You know, she took on a Democratic political machine in one, but nothing's changed since. Why? Because she's only been focused on her fame and politics of division and hate. We deserve and expected better. That's why I'm running. How did you expect better from her? Right. And hope for what change again?

What change? Real socialism this time, not just celebrity socialism? I don't. I really, huh, that's really interesting. So the Republicans are at it again. But the good news is if you get her in, she's not going to stand in the way of any of these evil Republicans that want to cut spending. Oh, oh, thank you. It's so close.

Because they are these fiscal hawks out there. It's, whoa. Calm down, guys. I mean, we have to have a few dollars to run the country. I mean, all these Republicans want to do. The cupboard is bare. Oh, it is. And there's almost nothing left, as Nancy Pelosi told us.

And we at the time I thought disagreed, but apparently not. Apparently not. Apparently not. Well, we know that Donald Trump doesn't disagree. He believes in debt. He said that in one of the debates, you know, one of the debates that he doesn't have a problem with debt. He believes in debt. Okay.

Well, some debt, right? Yeah. This one increases by $2 trillion by 2021. Another $2 trillion. What are we up to? 22? Are we going to be at 24 by by 2021?

Yeah. Yeah. At least. Yeah. And that's, of course, if everything goes right. If everything goes right. Remember, we're in a very good economic time.

Yeah. So the fact that we're going into all these deficits when the economy is good might lead you to think there's a problem if the economy gets bad. Well, the good news is saying that we're spending it on all of our sunny days. What's great is when the rainy day comes, there are going to be so much money in the bank for us to be able to handle it. Because we're beating many of the deficits from the economic collapse now.

We're getting to the point where we're putting up trillion dollar deficits when we're having a great economy with basically full employment. Yeah. So if the economy, and I'm sure it's obviously going to be good until the end of time, there's never going to be a downturn. Never a downturn. As long as it stays as perfect as it is right now, we'll only have $24 trillion of debt.

or a little more plus 100 trillion in unfunded liabilities and more. Did you hear that Elizabeth Warren is warning now of an economic catastrophe? Elizabeth Warren is. Okay. Now, I just because we're spending too much money. I'm sure that's what Elizabeth Warren is concerned about. Well, she said, I warned about an economic crash for years before 2008, but the people in power wouldn't listen. Now I'm seeing a serious warning sign in the economy again.

And I'm calling on regulators and Congress. She boars the snot out of me. To act before another crisis costs America's families, their homes, their jobs, and their savings. Warning lights are flashing, whether it's this year or next year. The odds of another economic downturn are high and growing. Congress and regulators should act immediately to tamp down these threats before it's too late. Now, she said that yesterday, and boy, do I have some commentary on it, but I thought we'd flip it over to CNN. Now, Stu, I got a gun to your head. I'm going to pull a trigger if you're wrong.

Which do you, what do you bet CNN is going to say about Elizabeth Warren and her warning on the economy and that Trump has just let things go out of control? I mean, with no knowledge on this situation, I would definitely say that they would probably be harsh on Trump because they don't know how to do anything else. So that's, I would think that they would blame Trump and say that's why Elizabeth Warren is right. And seeing that she's a social justice warrior. Sure. It's got to be great.

And Elizabeth Warren's solution's going to be wonderful. That's how you fix it. Listen to CNN. She's proposing some solutions that actually might create another crisis. Now, let me explain each of those. What? Number one, she points to several data points that say, you know, the alarm bells should be ringing for a financial crisis. Well, one of the things that she points.

that she points to is the level of corporate debt. Now, while risky loans to corporations have increased post-financial crisis, the ability for those companies to keep up with payments has also increased. So we're not seeing the kind of default rates that would be alarming at this point. Now, I'm not saying that's not a metric we should be paying attention to. All I'm saying is that Elizabeth Warren is shaping this conversation in a way that's politically convenient for her. Now, as far as her policy proposals, she is recommending lowering rents, offering affordable child care, offering free tuition at colleges, all of that costs money. And the American public should be asking, how do you pay for it? One way would be to increase

taxes. Another way is to increase government debt. This is the issue that the American people should be actually focused on, because many experts say if we don't get control of our debt over the next 10 years, we could be facing a fiscal crisis. And that would be extraordinarily harmful to our economy. I'm sorry. I think you're on the wrong network. I'm, I let you in here. I think it's time you leave, ma'am. I expected, I expected the door of her studio to be broken down and the CNN police come in and just gag her and drag her away. That doesn't make sense to me. Wait a minute. Hang on just a second.

You're defending the economy. And you're also tearing down socialist policies. Another earth where occasionally somebody on CNN says something that just doesn't bash Trump and instead bashes a progressive social justice warrior. I'll get back to you. I'll let you know if she still has a job by the end of the day, then we'll know. All right, so, you got a car. It's got 5,000, 150,000 miles on it.

It doesn't matter. You don't have a warranty on it anymore. Yeah, it's five years old. When do you think all the parts are going to start running out? Your warranty runs out. At least that's what it seems like happens on mine. I swear it's like it's timed. It's got some sort of self-destruct button in the car.

when as soon as the warranty runs out, it's like, oh, gee, all these expensive pots, you know, it might be easy just to get a new one. No, I want to drive my car until the doors fall off. A car shield can help you do that. 1,800, car 6,000. Now, it's done that for me. I've got two trucks that, you know, I really take care of. But I also, like, they work hard.

I've got two of these trucks. They're, what, 2000, maybe eight, and the other one's 2014. and they have a long past their warranty. And CarShield has saved me a buttload of hassle and money. Please sign up. All you do is you just pay it monthly. And then when something happens, you're covered. They have the roadside assistance.

They have the rental car. If yours is in the shop, you can take it to the dealership. Doesn't matter. You don't wait for them to pay you. They pay the place directly. It's great. It's carshield.com. CarShield.com.

It's going to be a big one. Yeah. I mean, but, you know, I don't know, maybe we should burst in with breaking coverage of Robert Mueller's testimony in which he reads from the document he's already printed and handed and distributed to everyone. This will be really fascinating at that time when he,

He says the line that we already heard, but we had to read it last time, and this time he's going to say it. So that's going to be a lot different. Right. That is going to be riveting. Remember when he was when he gave his press conference and said, Congress, don't call me to testify because I have nothing new to say. Everything in that report is my testimony. So it's going to be exciting. It's amazing listening to the political analysts talk about this.

They're like, you know, this is going to be a huge moment in Washington. And, you know, Robert Mueller has said he's. not going to give any new information. But, you know, in today's day and age, it is important for the person who did the report to read from it so that you can, people can hear it because they're not going to read the report. Okay, well, I think maybe if there was something in the entire collusion part of it, they'd be more fascinated with it, right? Like, it's the fact that, like, you're saying, well, there's no collusion, but there could have been some things that may have, if people acted in a slightly different way, may have been obstruction of justice.

And we want to ask him about that. And he's already said, if you ask me, do I think he's guilty of obstruction of justice? I'm going to say the thing that I said in the report, which is we couldn't clear him, but we couldn't, you know, there wasn't enough there for actual. Why? Well, we couldn't clear. There's a 448 page document. I hope, you know, I hope, honestly, he does is he takes a copy of the document and he just, every time they ask him a question, hold on, let me refer to my document. and then just flip slowly through the pages. One, two, three.

And then it's like page 271. And then he reads from page 271, the exact paragraph where he answered the question. I mean, he was thorough. I don't think anyone's saying that he was not a, this was not a thorough analysis of the situation. He micro-analyzed every single thing that basically Donald Trump did from 2016 and 2018. And before that, and in some cases. So I don't understand what they think they're going to get out of this. I think they're looking for that viral moment, which is this is the freaking U.S. government

that's running a hearing because they want to get a viral moment where he states something that he's already said. If I were to be fair, which is still stupid of them to do, but if I were to be fair, I could say maybe what they hope is they see damaging stuff in there. They see damaging stuff, but the American people just won't read it. we need to put on a little cake and circus show. That is basically what they're in. And bring everybody in. And that way, when he says it and it's a cake and circus show, they're really going to be upset. Wow, you think that little of the American people.

Yes, they do. I'm starting to think maybe I do two to some degree. You're listening to Glenn. That's been a great summer. Summer's all about fun. but it's it's time to call it a day if you want to keep the heat on the outside.

It is so incredibly hot. And I was on a plane this weekend and they were like, and everybody will keep your window shades closed because it gets very hot here on the tarmac. We're like, yeah, I know. Somebody, we landed, somebody opened up one of the windows and they're like, please keep the window shades closed.

It was amazing. But that thing, I mean, it's just become a furnace. with the windows. That's the same with your house. If you don't have shade, shutters, or drapes, man, when this sun beams in, you are spending so much money on air conditioning. That's why we don't have any windows in this building, you know?

I have no windows, no light, not coming in. And that's why it's 31 degrees in here today. I love it.

Welcome to Pat Gray. Yeah, thank you. Yes. It has to be discussed. Is Tom Brady a good parent or not? Oh, my gosh. Thank you. Finally, somebody is addressing this. Asking the question that must be asked. Well, first of all, we had last year, you remember this? And I think we disagreed on the kiss with the 11-year-old son. I found it disturbing. I think you were okay with it, right? Yeah. They made out for like 15 minutes. They did not make out. They did not make out.

It was disturbing. It's like, okay, stop! And now he went cliff diving in Costa Rica with his six-year-old daughter. Now, this one is pretty scary. This one's a little different because, first of all, why do you post this on Twitter? You're just opening yourself up to it. Yes, I agree that. And whether or not Tom Brady's cliff dives with his daughter, that's not on my business.

Yet he made it my business because he made it my business. He forced me to take a stand. So it's interesting because there's a lot of controversy and a lot of discussion. A lot of people are saying, hey, that's a good dad spending time with his daughter doing, you know, unusual death-defying things. There are people that take their kids mountain climbing and all kinds of stuff that I would never do. Never do. But that's the way their family is. I would not do this with my kids.

I wouldn't do it myself. The jump is what? 15 feet? Yeah, it's not that. The jump height isn't as big of a deal as the rocks. As the rocks. The rocks are frightening because if she lands on the rocks, you're badly injured if not dead.

And that's why he grabbed her. Right. Yes, because he grabs her as he's jumping in and he sort of jerks her arm to make sure she clears the freaking rocks. She kind of goes in sideways. For those who are watching this on plays TV, we do have the video. All right, go ahead and play the video.

It's she's standing there before her dad. Now he grabs her hand and he seems to be talking about what we're going to do. Then he asked her if she's ready, I think. You can't hear it. Yeah. And she shucks her head, yes. Yeah. Okay.

Now they're ready. One. Two, three. Oh, hesitation. So he has to pull her. Okay. He has to jerk her arm and separates her shoulder and separates her shoulder. And separates her shoulder.

She's swimming. It makes a rotator cop. She's, no, she's swimming to him. I think this is if, if, if he was like,

you're gonna jump, you're gonna jump, Daddy, I don't think, I don't think it was it at all. I think she was like, I think that has you fun. But she's six.

Yes, okay. At the moment of actually doing it, it's gonna be different. He's a good dad because he did grab her. Is he, is he, should he have taken that risk?

Right. Well, the risk. You're saying once the jump began and she didn't want to jump, then he was a good debt, because he had to pull her away from sudden death. Yes. The question is, do you put her in that situation at six years old? Now, let's stop treating our children like their complete imbecile. So they said, treat them like Acme anvils and throw them off of mountains. I didn't say throw them off of mountains. She said, assuming that she said, I want to do that, I want to do that, I want to do that. I want to do that. Okay, but here's the thing. You have to jump. You have to jump past those rocks. I know you're capable of doing it. You have to jump past the rocks. It's fear that will hurt you. If you have fear, it will hurt you.

I'm good, dad. I'm good. Are you sure? Yes, I'm good. Okay, let's go. She walks out to the cliff. You'll notice she's there first. She walks out to the cliff.

I'm good. Are you sure you want to do this? Yes. I'm sure all that took place. Right. But why take the chance? Well, yeah. And second.

Because he knows he's going to grab her and pull her over in case. And separate her shoulder and break her rotator cup. She did not break her rotator cuff or separate her shoulder. I will say she's clearly a very good swimmer. She's swimming to him. Yeah. Yeah, or at least a swimmer. We don't know that she's a very good swimmer, but she's a swimmer.

You skip over a very important part of the parenting there, however, is when your six-year-old says, yeah, I really want to do that. You have an opportunity as a father to say no. No, it's not safe. And that's when you as a father have to know your six-year-old kid and know if they are capable of doing it or not. And right. And he obviously chose incorrectly in that she didn't want not want to jump. No, how many times have I got the greatest, I have the greatest thing of Raph and I jumping into the pool. George Lang was at our house. Have you ever seen this series of pictures? I don't think so.

Okay. Yes. I used to have them in our bathroom in New York. And there was this whole series of pictures of the two of us running. And he's like, and he must have been about six. And he's like, let's jump in. Let's jump in. And I'm like, okay, I'll beat you. And then whoever gets in first wins. All right. So we're running.

And you're in your full clothes. I'm in my clothes. I'm in a suit. Yeah. And so we're running. Oh, yeah. I remember that. Yeah.

So we're running. And we get to the edge. One, two, three. I jump. He doesn't. Okay. And it's not because he thought it was funny. He just at the last minute was like, I'm nervous.

I'm not going to jump. Right. Well, we know that's what happens with six year olds. Right. That's why yours is not a life. But there wasn't a right. I. If you were jumping from.

That's why I didn't grab his arm on the. the way in. Right. And he didn't even move. He didn't hesitate. She hesitated. And I can guarantee you, it's not her just standing there that made him grab her arm. It's the fact that she went and hesitated.

Oh, yeah. And that hesitation is what will kill you. He had to pull her in. She basically landed on top of her. It could have been really bad. Why are we even talking this? She's fine. Yeah, she's fine.

And I will say, like, I think. Would you do that with your daughter? Because she's about that age, isn't she? Yeah, she's six. Yeah. Would you do that with her? No. Not in that situation. I wouldn't either. Just because like, she's a great swimmer.

I mean, she's a great swimmer. I wouldn't do that with my 30-year-old daughter. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. All right, honey, let's take your hand. Go on. Yeah, okay, no, wait a minute. Would you do it if you had a very, a very daredevilish kind of child at six? No.

And they were, she is. She lives, my daughter Ainslie lives life head first. That's how she lives it. And she is a daredevil, and she will do anything. Would you take that risk if you were a world-class athlete and knew that you could help your put a hypothetical to a person who can just answer it? Of course, I am a class. That's a Canadian sports celebrity. Oh, I forgot.

So soon, Glenn? No, I mean, look, I hated Canadian sports celebrity. Number one, so the social media thing here is overblown. I mean, that's not the worst thing in the world, right? Number two, Tom Brady, in every way, is a horrible human being. and he should have all of his Super World Rings taken away. Beyond that, he should be in prison.

He should be in prison for his football crimes. And then the Patriots won't have him his quarterback anymore. I'm fine with all of that. So you guys are saying you're not biased. No, exactly. What if he inflated his daughter just a little bit more than she should have been inflated?

He probably did. The larger lesson here, though, more than anything else. Because look, jumping off this clip, is it a great idea? It's one of those things that as soon as I started it as a dad, I'd be like, what am I thinking here? Like, what is the upside of this? Like, she could die.

So, like, I don't think it was a great decision. That being said, the only real lesson here, though, is if you're thinking, hey, it'll be cute, did you have this picture? And then it comes out like that, where you have to jerk her arm into the water and she almost lands on your head. Then don't post it. Then don't fucking post it. Like, let's be honest about it. You just don't post it. And then you just avoid all this nonsense.

That's the other interesting part of this. That's the only part that shows to me that he's just a. bad judge of anything. Okay? That you thought, you know, I oppose this. But again,

what does he carry? He's the perfect life. I mean, he's got, you know, what, six Super Bowls, Gisels's his wife.

He's got, you know, unlimited amounts of money. His wife is making more money than he is. Listen to that. Listen to that. Mm-hmm.

You take his, his picture perfect life, and you just assume that it's all good. Do you realize how many times he has to drive to the bank you had to deposit all that money Right He might have direct deposit

Maybe he doesn't have to take the dress to the pay Still he has to look in I mean it's easy He does have to look at the account There's a lot of numbers there to read It's easy when you don't have a lot of numbers Or the numbers are small Yeah

He's got to figure out how much do I have How many homes can I buy with all this money? He doesn't Can I get another one? His life is hell Stood. His life is hell Think of this.

He's a good-looking, what, eight-time Super Bowl champion? Six-time Super Bowl champion. It would have been seven, but the Eagles beat. Yeah. So he's got all that going on. And do you know how many good-looking women he has to turn down every day? Well, because he's married to one of the most beautiful women in the world. That's beside the point.

That's interesting. When he started to get with that woman, it was because he was turning away other women from his previous marriage. But that's a whole whole other story. we'll just forget that little bit. All right. Tommy, you really shouldn't post anything online. You shouldn't post anything. And I want to say, Pat and I are not biased against him in any way.

It's just so it's clear. No, I think the audience. No, the audience. One day winning the Super Bowl again. No, exactly. Instead of the New England Patriots. Right, exactly. Nothing to do with that.

Nothing to do with that. I think the audience knows this. They know. They felt it. I think they did. I think you're right. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you so much for the fair

and unbiased reporting on that story. I appreciate it. Somewhere in America, right now, within the sound of my voice, there's a man every day that knows that the days kind of blend into the next one when you're working on the range.

works hard, works steady, and his eyes never stray too far out ahead of the path that lies before him. To him, the boot is every bit the same importance as the saddle. It's got to be comfortable, has to be durable. It has to be imbued with that sense of purpose. And beyond that, perhaps it has to take on the sense of the age it seeks to protect. Well, Tocovus makes just what that man needs, just as it was in the time when the boot came from, A handshake is all you need. That's why this man, and many more like me,

So Boris Johnson has been elected the prime minister now of England, which I think is really exciting. Not a surprise. He was expected to win relatively easily. He is saying that he could theoretically do the no-plan Brexit, which is something that terrifies many, although I don't, I'm not as worried about it. I mean, we've listened to Daniel Hannon talk about it, who is the guy on this topic, and he's not all that concerned about it. But it would be great if they can get a deal. You know, I think that's the better outcome if it's a good deal. You don't just take anything. And the way Jvisa May was handling it was basically a take-anything situation. It's pretty amazing.

This is their independence day. October, what is it, 30th? 31st. 31st? That's their independence day. That's their July 4th. We are reclaiming and, yeah, we're just one of many, but we're going to stand on our own now. The world has gotten kind of kind of boring, though.

We had founders who were like, you know, in, you know, bars, like arguing these things. And then they sign their life away on a document and then a war breaks out. They're like, well, you'd like to break away from this bureaucracy. Okay. Well, yeah. I don't know. I'm not sure. Maybe we won't do it.

Maybe we will. Let's see. Well, it's a little less boring. I mean, you got Boris Johnson in there now. Boris will make it interesting. Boris will make it very, very interesting. Oh, yeah. I'm interested to see exactly how he, how he behaves.

You know, he wasn't that good of a mayor. But it didn't work out for the mayor? No, it didn't work out. I mean, I think he served two terms as mayor. But he is also a conservative, and conservatives are not liked in London. You know, in London. Yeah. It's like in New York, you know.

You're not really going to, you're not going to put, you know, George Bush as the mayor of New York. It's interesting to his career, basically. the reason people know who he is is he was a journalist who covered kind of like the the EU situation right you know and he went

European affairs basically and he was accused many times of just blatantly making up quotes that weren't even real and he seems to it at times admitted it just being like yeah well yeah it's like a little look it was it was it was the

general vibe of the situation like well but this person doesn't exist Yeah, but it was the general. You know what I'm saying. And like, people are just like, oh, okay. Well, he's got kind of messed up on hair. It seems like nice. He kind of has the, the Donald Trump effect that he can kind of get away with stuff.

Because, you know, he's, he strangely, even though he's from the upper crust, he strangely relates to the average everyday working guy. Yeah. It's kind of like Donald Trump. You know, he's, you know, the guy's got to the guy has, you know, he's. I know the report says this, but they mean this differently. He has a golden shower. He has an actual shower that's gold. It's only kind of golden shower Donald Trump's getting.

Yeah, I think so. So anyway, you know, and yet the people who are, you know, lower middle class, they relate to him, where Hillary Clinton was upper class and nobody related to her. He's kind of still a man of the people. Same thing with Boris Johnson, even though he went to Oxford and everything else. Gosh, you have to think the Democrats every once in a while have to stop and think to themselves, what were we doing? They basically ran Hillary Clinton unopposed.

Like they just handed her the nomination for the presidency. And here is someone who is one of the most unpopular figures in American politics. And they're like, yeah, just give it to her. Because she, remember she finished second last time to that guy we had no idea who even was? Like, why on earth did they do that? Bernie Sanders is, he's not even a Democrat, he's an independent. He gets in there and wins 45% of the vote or whatever it was. They just handed it to her.

They ran no one against her. That is an, that will be looked back in the history books. Well, let's see who they run this time. It may be a repeat. Yeah, very well. You're listening to Glenn Beck. You can find more top stories, the blaze.com. I'm Hillary. That's your four minute buzz.

let's just make this into uh like a madlib and you just take random words that you have and you fill in uh okay okay sure all right you got it sounds great female waxer who has declined now to handle a male that's where you fill in any got any word okay a female waxer who declines to handle male berries.

Well, there's more than just the berries. Twigs and berries. Twigs and berries could face legal consequences. At least this might soon be possible in the woke insanity, otherwise known as Canada. It comes from a recent British Columbia human rights tribunal hearing. I don't like the word tribunal. Doesn't that sound like it's like you're in real trouble? You know, going to courts, one thing.

A tribunal hearing? Right. Sounds like a. Maybe committed some genocide. Yeah. Okay. So Jessica Yaniv brought a complaint against Marcia de Silva, a woman who runs a waxing service from her home. Complicating matters.

Yanev, despite identifying as a woman, sports the full package of male. Two oranges and a banana. I don't. I hope maybe you would, you know, come up with something a little. less graphic. Oh, okay. Well, you didn't, you were not clear of the rules of this game.

Just said pick some random words and just throw them in there. According to the Toronto son, Yanev responded to an advertisement, De Silva posted on Facebook and sought out DeSilva's waxing services. However, uh, upon learning that Yanov retained his, her junk.

This is much better, right? You wanted to. De Silva said that she, She was no longer comfortable performing the waxing, as she only offered female waxing services and not services on male. Who ha's. I have no problem with the LGBT people, De Silva said. In fact, she was willing to offer her waxing services for a transgendered woman who had lopped off the...

So had the... Okay, lopped the... invading reproductive organs. No, this is... Because that person didn't want those organs. So they were invading. They were invasive.

It was like an invasive species. They attacked them at birth. And now has a female... See, you're suck of this. I suck at this. Just open up a book. Just open up a book. Just open up. There's a book over there.

Just open up a book. a book and just start grabbing words just any word. First time of Tim Alberta's new book is used in this way. I believe at least. All right. Her waxing services for

transgendered women who had undergone reassignment surgery and had lost their Romney. Now see, this works. That's pretty much better. To the average outsider, this seems a perfectly reasonable response.

To the woke identitarian left, it's an act of bigotry. Yanov charged that De Silva was discriminating against her on the basis of her gender identity. Such discrimination is barred under Canadian law. During the hearing, Yanad even compared De Silva's refusal to wax her bainer. That's an unfortunate one. It didn't work out well. As it, but it's in the book. an act of neo-Nazism.

Naturally, comedians and parody accounts filled the day. So here is the problem. She said, on another level, this is no laughing matter. While yes, wax my prebus

bigot case is just one isolated incident, but it shows how the Identitarian Left is rapidly advanced from pursuing equality, which involves the freedom from oppression to seek the justice and version of justice, which includes the freedom to force your views or yourself, more literally on to others.

This version of social justice poses a threat to a free society. If you could, if, if Yanov could have gone to a waxing service that accepted both the male Bannon and the female, Kushner? or even it could be abandoned it's actually right go ahead

they sound those words uh or even bought it a do your do yourself at home kit she didn't instead she relentlessly pursued this case to try to browbeat her fellow citizens

into submission okay so now here's the problem uh you know anybody who you know said oh they can just make a wedding cake now you're having to uh also handle the man's bainer.

And is that right? Do you have a right to say no? How can you not have a right to say no to touch another person's genitals? How, like, isn't this the Me Too party? You're going to force women to touch male genitals because of some ridiculous a corner you've backed yourself in on wedding cakes. I mean, it's completely ridiculous, but if you believe that someone should be forced to write words on a cake,

then you absolutely have to go along with this. Absolutely. It's completely consistent. And isn't it strange that you have to get permission to touch someone's genitals? And they can take that permission away or say, I didn't give you permission and then it's sexual harassment and you're in trouble. But you can't say no to touching someone's genitals if they are asking you and paying you money as part of your job. It seems almost mildly inconsistent.

It does. It does. It does. But I mean, I really don't understand how you disagree with it. Like there is you can make the, there's some sort of like, well, that seems like it's crossing the. argument, but you don't have an actual consistent moral argument, I don't think there. I mean, look, the easy way here is to err on the side of individual freedom, which we do in this country in Canada. You know, it's not their gig, right?

Like, that's not the, they don't have the constitution that we have. They don't have the founding that we have. So you expect things like this to happen in Canada, but that one's coming here. Now, don't you think that maybe feminists would want to stand. up for some, I'm going to be frank with you. I mean, once you've had the reassignment surgery. Oh, Franks and beans. That's a good one. Thank you. Um, you know, once you've had the Franks and beans removed, uh, you're still the same gender. You're still a, you're still a guy on the inside. You're still a guy. However, you know, you've, you've, you've, you've committed to it. Yeah.

You've at least. Somebody who comes in and says, you know, I want my, my, my, my, my, my, meat and vegetables polished. That's not. I mean, you're telling, feminists are telling women. You got to do that. Right. And you know what? What's funny about it is the reason why they have to be consistent on this and say,

yeah, you got to go up, you know, the Franks and Beans are there. You got to go do it on the Franks and Beans is because for their worldview to have any level of consistency, they can't admit that that's a man. they have to say that that is a woman on the table with the Franks and Means. Do you think they care about consistency? Or is it just forcing people to comply? In all ways, force people to comply. Oh, I think that's part of it.

But, I mean, if you, you have to admit something that fundamentally they can't admit. They can't admit that this is a, this is not a girl. This is a boy. This is not a man. This is a woman. They can't say that this. one gender, they have to act as if it's real, right? That's the foundation of this entire issue.

Is all of these conversations revolve around this premise that something we all know is not true must be, we must pretend that it is true. And if we all pretend that it is true, maybe it will become true. But that's not how the world works. No. That is not how things happen. We can all say, hey, we really care about the national debt. But you know what?

We don't. Surprise, surprise, we don't care at all. And I think it's one of those situations where there are certain things that test these realities. And it's the only way I think you push back on it, honestly. Like, you know, the sports thing is another one of them. You know, when your 16-year-old daughter gets destroyed by a 16-year-old boy in a race that she's worked really hard for, parents tend to get pissed off about it. When your 24-year-old daughter, it works at a year-old.

waxing place and is waxing guys Franks and beans every day because some activist is telling you that they're not Franks and beans or that women can have Franks and beans. That is a situation where it tends to test people's patience with your little story. Things tend to break down like they're breaking now. Right now, the Democrats are pushing these ideas so hard. And they are starting to be in, they're starting to leave the class. room and actually be dealt in every person's house. They're dealing with it now in everybody's house. And we're all coming home with our kids going, wait a minute.

What are they teaching you? Wait a minute. Who was there in the library? Wait a minute. They asked you to wax what? It's starting to happen. And people are, here's why it has gotten out of hand so far. Is just like political correctness, nobody wants to hurt anybody else's feeling.

Nobody wants to hurt anybody's feelings. And if that's what makes you feel better, fine. I'll do it. But when push comes to shove and I've got to testify or I have to tell it to my children or I have to whatever. No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You can live your life that way. And I'll tolerate it. And you'll tolerate me, me, leaving my life.

And we're not going to say bad things to each other. But I'm not teaching my children that you're thinking. is right or even healthy in some regards. And it's moments like this where you know that they don't even believe it, right? If you're fighting back against a woman because she has to wax a part she doesn't want to do, where's your feminism? You're admitting it. You're admitting that you don't actually believe these things.

You're just saying them over and over again and trying to get people fired from their jobs if they say the opposite or getting de-platformed if they say the opposite. Now, this Franks and Bean story is happening. in Canada. But let me show you what's happening here in America in one minute. Somewhere in America right now within the sound of my voice, there's a man who did everything right. He married a woman he loved. He married young, that fabled high school sweetheart, set upon the path of America righteousness. Every day he went to his job and he wore the right clothing. He worked hard. He was the best employee he could be. Every night he came home to his growing family,

his children that he loved. He worked hard to balance the ambition and the drive he had in his career with the love and the care that they needed from him, and he wanted to give. In the end, it all panned out. But now, he's at home, and he's still working hard. He's 50, and the kids are blazing their own trails in the world. And because he works so hard, he's maybe earned an early retirement.

It's on the horizon. And unlike those who can't stand to things, like that, he embraces it. No more stuffy suit, no more cramped office, no more meetings about nothing. Nowadays, it's just jeans and a t-shirt for him and a pair of good quality

comfortable yet affordable boots. You know it takes 200 steps to manufacture a pair of Tachovus boots? They're built to be comfortable right out of the box, handmade with high-quality, full-grained leathers by world-class bootmakers. It's Tukovus boots.

Decovus. Start a company. started right here in Texas. They come in lizard, alligator, some of the world's most exotic leathers. By selling them directly to customers, Tocovus ensures that their product is either half the price of similar boots or twice the quality of a similarly priced boot. Check out their site. Tacovus.com slash Beck. Tocovis.com.

Any leather that you need, anything at all, they'll have it. You'll find it there. high-quality belts and bags and wallets and even great jeans. Those aren't in leather. Those are just, you know, American denim. I know it's strange to order boots online, but it's remarkable how easy and accurate. Their process really is. They have free shipping and free return, so ordering is risk-free.

It's Tocovis. Great boots that feel great at a great price. T-C-O-V-A-S dot com slash Beck. T-C-O-V-S-B-T-C-O-S-E-T-C-O-E-T-C-E-S-E-E-E. Now, before I get to America, there's is one more part of the Twigs and Barry story from Canada. Jessica Yaniv, Yanev. Yanev.

She's scheduled to appear before the township of Langley Council in British Columbia, Canada, to ask for permission for all bodies swims at three community pools, where individuals, including girls as young as 12, will be permitted to be topless. Swims for kids who identify as LGBTQ2S Plus. Q, queer, two, two, spirit. Is 2S2 spirit or is S something else? I don't know, maybe it's 2S. I thought it was 2.

It was by itself, but 2.S. And then 2S plus. Snake. Because, I mean, if you're going to use a plus, it's a cop out, right? Just call it plus. Or L plus. Yeah. You know what I mean?

We got that and all the other ones. Yeah. Anyway, she is going to make sure it's a safe and inclusive environment for 12-year-olds to be top-less. So, you know, again, it's completely fine. Let them be themselves. Definitely a good idea. 12 and up. Says the man who can't get his junk waxed.

Did you just say the man? Yeah, I did. Oh, okay. I did. All right. Let me talk to you about America. I mean, a man is scheduling topless 12-year-old swimming pool adventures. But he identifies as a woman.

Right. But he identifies as a woman. So people are going to be like, oh, okay, sure. Just again, clear where we're standing. where we stand here. How are we doing in America, Glenn? Well, in America, we have something called the Equality Act, the Equality Act. By adding gender identity as a protected classification in new federal civil rights law,

it is going to be used by activists or could be used to legally harass women who don't want to, you know, do things like, I don't know, wax male junk, regardless of whether those male private parts are attached. to people who identify as a man or a woman. This is the case now in Canada, but it is not about waxing. This is about business and individuals using their religion and their culture to refuse service to protected groups because they don't agree with it or the person and use that to illegally discriminate contrary to the British Columbia Human Rights Code and the Canadian Human Rights Code. Now, that's what they claim.

that this is just about your bigoted religion or you personally don't like someone and so you won't do it. The Equality Act will have sweeping effects on girls' sports. The bill will require schools to include male athletes who identify as transgendered girls on female sports team. Male athletes in recent years have wrapped up victories in female athletics. and the Republican-controlled Senate is unlikely to hold a vote on the bill. However, Susan Collins, the only GOP co-sponsor in the Senate, and all of the Democratic presidential candidates have lined up in support of the bill, promising to make its passage a top priority if elected.

Look up the Equality Act. We have to do a special show on that in the coming weeks. It will change everything in America. Literally change everything in America. Congratulations. That's what we have if we don't stand firm in our ideas and ideals. You're listening to Glenn Beck. My pillow.

But apparently it is the inches that are between your ear and your shoulder as you lay down. Oh, it's vital.

Anyway, there are those flatter pillows, and then there is the big thick pillow. I have the big thick pillow. I tried the flat one, and I hated it.

But I needed the big thick one because I got a big thick head. And I love this pillow. I don't, I used to like have to roll over and fluff it and everything else. You don't have to do that.

promo code Glenn. Tomorrow, 5 p.m. don't miss it. Alexander Hamilton, Hammond, we had on yesterday. We wanted to touch base with him quickly here. Boris Johnson was elected. He's the new prime minister. Welcome, Alexander. Hi, Glenn.

Thanks having me. Yes, he has done it. He is now or tomorrow he will be walking into number 10 Downing Street as a new prime minister to the UK. You know, that's one thing that we also don't do. We have like several months in between, but you guys go through these people like water. We just get right to the point, Glenn. He's 1.66% of a vote. He's got a clear consensus to enter and become our next prime minister, and he'll do so soon.

Okay, so how he gets along with Donald Trump, right? Yeah, so a few years ago, he maybe said not so nice things about Donald Trump. However, since Trump's been elected and since he's been in more senior positions, the rhetoric's been far nicer. Earlier today, once it was announced that Boris will be the next Prime Minister, Trump tweeted him, saying that he would be a great Prime Minister. Similarly, I think Trump shared the sentiment. However, she said he'll be a great Prime Minister of United Kingston, a bit of a sparing error there, but that's okay. Still the same sentiment is being held.

So, yeah, they get on. And I'm seeing across Twitter and everywhere else are saying how similar these two men are. However, I couldn't disagree more. I think we're fundamentally opposed in so many different ways. In what way? In that way? Boris Johnson, he ran the Brexit campaign on the idea of creating more free. trade to open the UK up to the world. Whereas Trump, I feel, has more protectionist sentiments in

regards to his trade wars. Brexiters wanted a trade deal with China. Trump wanted a trade war with them. Okay, so hang on. Let me answer these as you go along. I agree with what you just said. You're absolutely right. However, Trump was won, Trump won because there was this feeling from the people that nobody in government was listening to the people and they were sick and tired of it, and that's what put him into office. Kind of the same thing. Nobody was listening to the people on Brexit, and they got sick and tired of it. So I agree that perhaps the sentiment behind people feeling disenfranchised and angry with the government

did propel both Brexit and Trump. However, the rationale behind both votes were completely different. It was, for example, Boris Johnson is pretty pro-immigration, for example, too. He favors the Australian point-style system, which basically sees immigrants fill our country, depending on the skills they have and our current shortages in our economy, whereas Trump, I think, is far, far more different on that. I think Trump would, I think Trump would be okay with if we had a point system. We don't have a point.

We have no system now. You just come on in. You're like, hey, I like, you know, I like the red in your flag. And so I like to come in. And we let you in. You don't have to have anything to be let in. Okay, good, I've got you on his final point. So Boris Johnson, he is a classical scholar.

He is historian. You mentioned yesterday how you read this book on Churchill. Yes. He often uses utterance from great ancient philosophers in his speeches. he does that all the time, whereas I don't think we can apply the same intellectual rigor to Trump's speaking. If you believe, if you wish to dismiss the ancient wisdom of fortune cookies, you may be right.

They're definitely not the same person. I mean, there's definitely differences. And the trade thing is one of the biggest, you know, issues, I think. I think the difference with trade in that, like, you know, Daniel Hannan, I thought, was a great voice for Brexit and that he constantly emphasized wanting to open up free trade to the world. And that's definitely not what Trump ran on. Though I will say it's a low priority issue, I think, for most American voters. It's just it's not something that I don't know that Trump got elected because of his trade position.

No. He got more elected, I think, you know, some people really liked it. Some people really hated it. But they saw it as like it's, you know, it's way down the list and it was not a top priority. Where Brexit, really, that was a big focus. I don't know. Settle this for us, Alexander. Because I would say that the trade thing was probably bigger for the politicians and the elites, but it was the cultural things and the immigration standards and the living up to rules that weren't coming from England.

That was the main force and driver behind Brexit, which one is accurate or more accurate? So I think the trade aspect is really crucially important. And unlike with Trump, where you say it is more a minority issue, for Brexit, on every single thing all the pregnancies did, it was so we could create a free and open global trading Britain. That's what they said. Right. But was that what the people were saying? For instance, you could say that Donald Trump, and I don't believe this to be true at all, Donald Trump is a racist that just doesn't like Mexico. Mexicans. You could say that. You could say that all you want. And that's what you're fighting against.

but you wouldn't really be fighting against something that was real, because what the people are saying is, we want to know who's coming across our borders, and we'd like it to be controlled. There's nothing wrong with Mexicans or anybody else from Honduras. It's just we want to make sure that this is a controlled entrance. So are the political elite having that conversation about trade, but the people are saying, no, it's more visceral than that.

It's about my heritage, my culture, my country. Yeah, sure. So following the, when we did a Brexit referendum on 23rd of June 2016, all the exit polls that persuaded for lead voters showed the biggest issue was the diplomatic size, the facts that laws were being made in Brussels with very little say from the UK members of parliament and how unelected officials were creating our laws. So that was the biggest. And then beneath that, I would say, then trade and immigration come into a picture.

Sovereignty is really, I mean, it encompasses all of these issues. Yeah. Because, I mean, trade policy is part of it and immigration policy is part of it. And I think that's what we feel here in America. Remember, we're a collection of states. We're the union of states. And we're feeling the loss of our sovereignty as states, not the same. We've lost it a long time ago compared to you guys.

But we still feel that loss of individual sovereignty. So let me ask you this. You had a British ship taken by Iran. Our Department of State issued a statement said, you know, Great Britain can take care of their own, you know, issues. So it's not something that involves us. How is Boris Johnson when it comes to war? Donald Trump is is not a hawk when it comes to war at all.

but he is he is at least a tough talker where's Boris Johnson so I'd say Boris Johnson is quite similar of a sense that he doesn't want to be evading Iran Iraq Afghanistan anytime soon he is

similarly cautious about ground intervention the same way Donald Trump is and when he was foreign minister a foreign secretary of the UK between 2006 in 2018. That's when the Russian spy incident in Salisbury happened when Russian agents were caught using poisonous materials on UK soil and accidentally killed a member of our public.

And he was foreign secretary at the time. And instead of trying to jump to military action or any sense, he gathered the nations of the world and in a joint effort under his leadership expelled spy. He got every nation to expel spies from their country. And he was more pushing for sanctions on Russia as opposed to any military

intervention, which is, I think, is definitely wise and in a similar category to Trump. I think that's good. Okay, Alexander. Wait, wait, hold on one more question before you go, Alexander. So what I keep reading is if Johnson comes in and tries to do a no-deal Brexit, they will they will wind up being very upset with him

and then call for a new general election and this whole thing could be changed again because I do not understand the scope and the nuance of the parliamentary democracy system let me boil it down to this you all seem to have a stick up your butt when it comes to you know walking around and um tea time and then once you close the doors

you have somebody order order close the doors and you just wail on each other What's the deal, dude? Well, yeah, you're talking about John Burko, the Speaker of the House of Commons, he is famous. Whoa. Yeah.

So it would be, if a general election is called, it would be because Boris Johnson himself calls it. And the reason he would do that is so that he can get more conservative members of Parliament into the government. And what that would mean is he has a greater mandate to pursue Brexit, because at the moment, the conservatives are in power, but they're empowered just by a little bit. They're in a minority government being propped up by other parties. So a general election could be called so if conservatives get a bigger proportion of the vote,

and that would give him the power to more easily pursue a no-deal Brexit. And so, let's just say they go in there and they just fight with each other and they can't come up with any deal, they can't come up with anything. Does it just automatically go into effect a no-deal Brexit? on the 31st? Yes. The default setting in law is that we're leaving on the 31st of October. And the only way they could overcome that is if a new law is created.

But Boris Johnson and his cabinet and his cabinet will likely be Brexiteers who have committed to the no-deal deadline will have to sign it off. So why would he call for a general election that he could lose if he could just wait and let Brexit go through. Well, that would be it would basically have given more legitimacy and a bigger mandate in the House of the Parliament to push forward his agenda

as opposed to creating more of an uproar than it would otherwise. And do you think he would win that? I think he would. So between 2008 and 2016, he was mayor of London. And London is a pretty far left liberal city. And it had Ken Livingstone, who was essentially a Marx,

similar grain to Jeremy Corbyn. And he managed to defeat him by a huge margin. And in the UK, in the European elections, which were held in May, the Brexit party won a huge proportion of a vote. They won 31% of a vote, whereas conservatives under the remainder, Theresa May, only won 9%. So what Boris Johnson basically represents is he can unite the Brexit vote to be able to defeat Jeremy Corbyn because he will unite all the people who voted for Farage because he stands on the same policies pretty much in regards to Brexit, whilst he maintains the conservative vote,

which should keep Jeremy Corbyn out of power because both a Brexit party and conservatives definitely don't want a Marxist in government and rightly so. Yeah, Corbyn is bad news. Alexander, thank you so much. Appreciate it. We'll talk again. Thank you, everyone. All right, bye-bye.

What was it? that Obama said to Joe the plumber that made Joe the plumber so famous. Gosh, was that the you didn't build this maybe? No, it was before that. It was before that. Well, something else has been said. This one by Talib, listen to this. So recently I introduced the Boost Act.

This legislation completely repeals the GOP tax scam. That is wholly helping wealthy individuals, the rich, the corporations. And do you know what I did with this? that money? Do you know what I said? We're going to go ahead and put it into the pockets of folks like everyday Americans. If you make less than $100,000, you're going to get up to $6,000 in your pocket. And if you make less than $50,000, you're going to get $3,000. That's what we do with our public dollars. We give it back to the people, the people that earned it. Wait, wait, if you make less than $50,000, you're most likely not paying any taxes.

You didn't take the money from rich people in their taxes to the people who earned it? The rich people apparently earned it. Or are you deciding who's worthy of money? More on this coming up. I'm Hillary. That's your four-minute buzz. And now here's Glenn and Stu with the final hour of the show. Thanks so much.

Anybody says it's a slippery slope? Oh, I don't believe in a slippery slope. Well, really? That's what progressivism is.

Just keep taking one step closer and closer. A slippery slope into what? The goal of progressivism is authoritarianism. They may not call it that, but that's what it is. Bureaucracy that handles everything because the bureaucracy will be smarter than you. Well, how far down the slothism? slippery slope, have we gone? I'm going to show you a mile marker that you probably have forgotten about and then show

you today's mile marker. And I want you to notice the difference in reaction from then and now in 60 seconds. This is the Glymbach program. You know, Elizabeth Warren came out yesterday and she said, I feel there's a correction coming. There's a catastrophe coming. And for the first time, the liberal media bashed her. Interesting, isn't it? They bashed her for saying, you know, whether it's this year or next year, it's going to come.

And she said, I warned about 08. And, you know, and when that came, you know, everybody, it was too late to do anything about it. So we got to do something about it now. Now, unfortunately, as CNN strangely pointed out, it's her policies that would do a lot to destroy the economy of America. and it's the policies of those who might win power. They're talking about the dismantling of the free market. If this happens, it is all bets are off globally. Hopefully it doesn't happen.

But if Trump does win stays the course, we still are going to have a downturn. Why? Because it's cyclical. We are in the longest recovery in American history. That's a good thing. That's a good thing, but it is going to come down. So when it does, is it going to be a hard crash or a soft landing? Well, you saw the last one, and I think we're repeating many of the mistakes.

You know, there's not a housing market in New York that's the problem. It's now the taxi cab medallion market. The banks, when they couldn't make money on the housing market, money hand over fist, they decided to do it with the taxi cab medallion market. and that thing's about to crash. That can just take a major city and major banks and tube them. What does that mean? Well, you know what?

Once you are prepared, you don't really have to worry about it. You know, you have a lot of the pressure off. Do you have gold or silver? Please, diversify. I'm not telling you to put everything in it. I'm saying 10%. Take 10% out and diversify. Put it in.

into gold or silver. That's what I do. Now, it may not be right for you. I'm not a financial advisor. You figure it out on your own. But please call them today. Please, I know these things. These are the kinds of things.

There's somebody right now, and it's probably you, that is saying, I've got to do that today. And then you don't do it. Please, do it right now. It takes one quick phone call. All you do is you call them at 866 gold line, one 866 gold line. Just ask them for all of the information. They'll send it to you. You'll be able to read it.

Do your own homework. That's the way you have to do things. You're smart enough to figure it out on your own. 10% of what you have saved. Just so, when the crap hits the fan, somebody has something left. Goldline. Goldline.com. 1-866-6-goldline.

1866 Goldline or goldline. So here is Congresswoman Talibuille. yesterday, and I want to play first, her call for a new minimum wage. Now, we just found out that last week Bernie Sanders gave all of his people a $15 minimum wage because they said what they were working for just wasn't enough. He said, okay, you know what, I'm going to raise everybody to the $15 minimum wage, because that's what I believe anyway Americans should do. Now, by the way, now that you only, you know, you're making $15 an hour, I just want you.

to know, I can't afford everybody to work six days a week. So everybody works five days a week. So wait a minute. Hang on just a second. So now they have to get done all the stuff that they were doing before, but they have to do it in five days as opposed to six days. And that doesn't help their financial situation. What he's saying is now you have time to go get a second job. He also let some people go.

and some people walked out and said, you're crazy. Now I have to accomplish this in five days as opposed to six. No, thank you. It doesn't work. When we say what's going to happen is the companies can't afford that, so they will lay people off or they will cut back on the days. The left always says, that's crazy.

That won't happen. They have the money. Well, doesn't Bernie? Doesn't he have millions of dollars in the bank? doesn't he have the money? Why isn't he doing it? Because the math doesn't work. So we just had Bernie Sanders, the king of socialism,

prove that just the $15 an hour minimum wage mandate doesn't work. And here's what Rashid Talib learned from that. He can't allow people to be living off of tips. It's relying on tips wages. It's just not, or whatever they call it, it's income, because it's just not enough to support our families. But I also want to always tell a story because big fights like this one, $15. By the way, when we started it, and it should have been $15.

Now I think it should be $20, $20.00. It should be $20.00. $20.0.00. $25.25 there. Who wants $30? Who's got $30? Who's got $30? I can tell you this. Milk is gone up. Eggs has gone up. Okay.

Stop. All right. I can't take it. That's why if you were serious in Congress about a minimum wage, you would attach it to the fundamental market. You would attach it to the cost of living. But you shouldn't do that as the federal government because $15 an hour is death money practically in New York City.

But if I was paying somebody $15 an hour in the middle of, Idaho or on a ranch in Arizona. That's a lot of money. And, you know, if you're going to do it, it should be state or locally and it should be attached to the cost of living. That way, we don't need anybody to tell us, you need me to change that. Right. Takes them out of it.

Right. They're not serious. They're not serious. So it always gives them an axe. So they started doing this $15 an hour. Well, you know, when we started it. It was 15 and that was fine. But now it's $20.

It should be $20. But we'll settle for $15 as soon as they get $15. It should be 20. And you need me to fight for you because I was the person that got the 15. What if they get 20? What will happen? 25. It's an auction.

Exactly. And it's funny because the blessing of the squad, as it were, is they make every argument conservatives have been making forever in full color. What do we say? When people were like, oh, you know what, it should go from $7 to $10? an hour. We would say, what's next? Fifteen dollars, $20 an hour? And they say, no, we're talking common sense solutions. The second they have power. What is it? Fifteen dollars, $20 an hour. There is no limit. There's no limit to that principle. It's just ever, ever escalating. So I want to show you exactly kind of what Stu said that they're saying things right out in the open. And if you remember right,

I said while I was on Fox, they want to tell you. They want, they're dying. to tell you who they are because they believe you're wrong and they're right. So they're dying to tell you that they are socialists. Well, they are saying it now. They're saying it. Do you remember what happened when anyone said anything about socialism? It was racist to claim someone was a socialist. It was scaremongering to call someone a socialist. It was ridiculous to call somebody a socialist. That was the most benign. You're just ridiculous. They're not socialist.

Yeah, they are. They're talking about redistribution of wealth. That is a Marxist socialist idea. That's ridiculous. That's hate monger. That's scare mongering. That's racist. If you remember, the first time that I really ever heard anyone in my lifetime,

because I don't really remember Jimmy Carter, who was a serious candidate, talk about things that had. Marxist undertones was this exchange in 2000, I think it was 2008, October of 2008, I believe, when a guy named Joe the Plummer finally got a chance to talk to Barack Obama. Listen. I mean, one way of looking at it is now that you've become more successful, through hard work. Through hard work, you don't want to be taxed as much, which I understand. But another way of looking at it is 95%.

of folks who are making less than 250, they may be working hard too. But they're being taxed at a higher rate than they would be undermined. So what I'm doing is, you know, put yourself back 10 years ago when you were only making whatever, 60 or 70. Under my tax plan, you would be keeping more of your paycheck. You'd be having lower taxes, which means that you would have saved and gotten to the point where you are faster. My attitude is that if the economy is good for folks from the bottom up, it's going to be good for everybody. If you've got a plumbing business, you're going to be better off if you've got a whole bunch of customers who can afford to hire you. And right now, everybody's so pinched that business is bad for everybody.

And I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for it. That was the key. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody. He's a socialist. He's talking Marxist ideology. That's racist. even say that how ridiculous he only cares about people. I'm telling you now, if you don't pay attention, you're going to have socialists in the government and they are going to be coming out of the

woodwork and there's going to come a time where they're not afraid to say they're socialist. That's crazy. You're a danger. How dare you? You're just trying to whip people up into a frenzy. Let me take you to the audio yesterday of Democratic Socialist, Rashida Talib. So recently I introduced the Boost Act. This legislation completely repeals the GOP tax scam that is wholly helping wealthy individuals, the rich, the corporations. And do you know what I did with that money?

Do you know what I said? Mm-mm. We're going to go ahead and put it into the pocket. of folks like everyday Americans. If you make less than $100,000, you're going to get up to $6,000 in your pocket. And if you make less than $50,000, you're going to get $3,000. That's what we do with our public dollars. We give it back to the people, the people that earned it.

Hang on. Just a second. That's what we do with our public dollars. Stu, can you tell me what product the United States government is now selling? because they have public dollars, dollars that the government has earned. They filled that. Those would be the public dollars, I would assume, because those dollars all came from private individuals and private corporations that they tax. So those could not be public dollars.

I will say they did print them, though. So maybe they are all theirs. We printed them. They're ours. They're ours. You borrow them. Right. Yeah, sure.

Okay. So she's talking about the public's money now that the government has taken. Now, the government is supposed to take it for things like the common defense. They take these things. And then now they're talking about redistributing them to other people. We quote, take from the rich and give it back to the people that earned it. How can you possibly take money away from the rich? We quote, take from the rich and give it back to the people that earned it. how can you possibly take money away from somebody and claim someone else earned it unless you're the police and the guy who had the money was a bank robber. The people who have the money earned the money. That's not the way a socialist sees it. But you'll notice when Joe the plumber got Obama to be even close to socialism,

it riled people. Now, we're so dead inside to this. They've unmasked themselves that a Democratic socialist can tell you exactly what she's planning on doing. And AOC can actually introduce a green bill that has nothing to do with the environment and has everything to do with, and I'm practically quoting from it, end the free market system. And nobody seems to care anymore. Except the media. The media still says these women are not socialist, and technically they're right.

They're democratic socialists. It's a rather remarkable time in our country. Unemployment is at historic lows. Mortgage rates are as well. And the housing market is stabilized. It makes a sense to sell your home or even buy a home. If you're considering buying or selling, please check out real estate agentsitrust.com. Don't take me at my word on this.

I'm amazed. Can we put that Rashida Taleb audio of her tax plan where people with $100,000 and I get sick. thousand dollars back. Can we play that one more time? Finally, I introduced the Boost Act. This legislation completely repeals the GOP tax scam that is wholly helping wealthy individuals, the rich,

the corporations. And do you know what I did with that money? Do you know what I said? We're going to go ahead and put it into the pockets of folks like everyday Americans. If you make less than $100,000, you're going to get up to $6,000 in your pocket. And if you make less than $50,000, you're going to

get $3,000. Okay, stop. So this is interesting. This is a trick that the media uses all the time when they talk about GOP tax plans. What they say is that the benefits go disproportionately to the rich. This is something you'll hear all the time. And mainstream media will parrot it as if it's completely true. Okay.

What they're doing here is something that you can do to the Democratic socialist you just heard speak, which is there are two people, one rich person making $100,000 and $1,000. and one poor person making $50,000. Why doesn't the poor person get $6,000 and the rich person get three? So if you take those two together, you have $9,000 of tax breaks, which go two-thirds of that, go to the rich person disproportionately benefiting the wealthy. This is something you'll hear not from just Democrats, but every freaking mainstream media person who just act as if they don't understand what percentages are.

For this particular news story, I'm denying percentages. We don't know how they work. Sure, the percentage for the tax break for the rich person is less than the tax break for the middle class person or the poorer person. In fact, that poor person might not even be paying taxes at all. But let's look at the overall total amount. So if someone's paying $10 million in taxes and now they're paying $9.9, they're getting $100,000 in tax breaks where someone who's making $50,000 is only, getting a $5,000 tax break, that's a 20 times the benefit to the rich person.

Now, we all understand that percentages are going to take into effect how much they're paying. They're paying much larger amounts overall. So any tax break at all for someone who's making more would be, you know, disproportionate in that view. And you can even do it to Rashida Talib. That's how dumb of a point it is. So in other words, what you're saying is we should begin.

to ask Rashida Talib and others, why their tax breaks benefit disproportionately the rich as opposed to the poor. Yeah, because it's the exact same point. The media makes against every Republican tax proposal no matter what it says. This is the same thing. You can easily do this. I mean, and when you can do it to someone who is, the reason we're playing this clip is not because of this point.

The reason we're playing this clip is because she's saying, She's taking money from the rich to give it to the people who earned it that are poor. Again, like, to follow the logic, it's insane, which is why we're playing the clip. But when you can apply that to a socialist, it shows how ridiculous the point is. It shows that every person in the mainstream media that does it and says those things, knows what they're doing. In reality, they all understand what a percentage is. They're doing it intentionally to mislead you to believe that tax plans.

are evil and just out to benefit oil executives. Well, yeah, here's the, here's the key. Socialists never make sense. You can never, you can never get it down to be, you know, dollars and cents. Show me, show me, show me how this works. You can never get it there because it doesn't work. And we're seeing this with all of these socialist and postmodern theories of there is no gender. Well, hang on. How about this?

How about the woman who doesn't want to wax the Mitt Romney of, you know, of a transgendered female? What about that? Well, that's just you're being ridiculous. No, it, that's what's happening. So it always breaks down at the end because the logic is not sound. That's why nobody wants to teach critical thinking in school anymore. Because if you teach kids how to think, now what? think how to think they'll see through this bull crap in a heartbeat back in a minute you're

listening to glen did you know that it takes police 45 minutes to respond to a home security alarm almost an hour now that's not because we have crappy police department by the way i've got to talk about the police in new york that are being hosed uh by people just throwing water on them and water balloons and junk at them this is this is outrageous thank you bill to Blasio. But anyway, it's not because the police aren't doing it. It's because that's the way the system works. People understand that most times a home security alarm goes off. It's a false alarm.

He's also the host of Beltway Balthus podcast, which I am peering on in a couple of weeks. We'll talk about that, perhaps if we have time.

But he's responding to a Huffington Post story, Behold the Millennial Nuns. Welcome, Stephen. How are you? Good morning, Glenn. Good morning. So tell me about the story from Huffington Post. Yeah, well, I think we both read it. And this story in the Huffington Post by Eve Fairbanks sort of chronicles this young woman looking at her friend group growing up, all becoming more religious over time and not only becoming more religious, but becoming Catholic and then a large amount of them seeking out the life of nuns.

And this is in a group of like social media influencer type girls who travel the world, their lifestyle Instagrammers, their bloggers, they're the kind who kind of like wear their faith on their sleeve. and do it very loudly and proudly, but really seeking out a life of really rigid boundaries in a way that you just wouldn't expect. You wouldn't really expect this from millennials, right? But it turns out, and Eve Fairbanks looks into this, that numbers are rising across the country that people seeking out the life of nuns

is actually dramatically higher than it was years before, and the average age is 24. Blue my mind, but it also makes perfect sense. Why does it make sense? Well, you said this on my podcast over the weekend that young people are starving for truth. They live in a subjective world. It is a subjective generation by and large where the world today seems to tell you that it can be whatever you want it to be and that there is nothing that is right and wrong. There is no black and white.

And I think that is not squaring with a certain subset of millennials who are looking for something deeper. I think that eventually really falls into recognition of the majority of people no matter what age. You can live that life for a while where, you know, it's just my truth that matters. But it will cause massive pain in your life. And if you ever want to get out of it, you're going to have to recognize that there are some universal truths that are just not changed. Yeah, there was this girl in this study, or in this piece that it said that when she was speaking, speaking to the Huffington Post, you said, there is nothing consistent in the secular world. It all is a moving target. Catholicism, by contrast, truth is a fact, and your obligations to other people in

God cannot be trumped by personal truth. That spoke to me as well. I mean, this is sort of the thing that I deal with in my own life, with my own generation. And I think a certain part of the Protestant population, I grew up Presbyterian, I now go to a non-denominational church. And there does seem to be in this religious community still a take it or leave it approach to religion, right? Pick what you want a la carte. And it's not authentic. It doesn't really work. There's something wrong there. The end of the study had talked about this research that was done by the Barna group. And it showed that millennials by and large, when they are asked about this issue, millennials of faith. They are asked about this issue. And they prefer traditional churches. They prefer

cathedral settings. They prefer the preacher behind a pew as opposed to standing up and being like a motivational TED talk speaker. We're swinging backwards. I mean, I think this is, this has everything to do with millennials like building carpenter style houses and wanting craft coffee. They don't want Kyrig. They want the real thing. And some of them are going very far to find it. None is quite extreme, but I think that's the whole point. They're the OMG generation. They do everything a little bit over the top. I think there's, you know, there's, there's something to be said right now. Everything is personalized, you know, in somebody's life. You can get it exactly the way you want it. I grew up in the generation where McDonald's was like, no, it's the Big Mac. That's the way we make it.

You don't like it. It's in the heating lamp. Our Big Macs yesterday were very customized. I would like to say. So it's, it's, you know, it's, I mean, that's just the way it was growing up because we were still in the, you know, the mass production, you know, world where we thought mass production was great because, you know, a hundred years before it hadn't been mass production. Well, now that we've had mass mass production, now we're looking for things that are unique and customizable and uniquely us. the the idea of of swinging back to the old world, I think starts there. It's, is something handmade? Is it for the individual? That kind of stuff makes a difference.

And it goes back to making things by hand or being quiet. When the world is screaming, they're going to be a yearning for a quiet place. When everything is loud and vibrant, there's something too, a big, dark cathedral that is absolutely silent. I mean, they would also speak to the rise in yoga and meditation

as being something that people are seeking out. They're tired. Everywhere they go, they're stimulated. And people don't have the discipline now in their daily lives to actually be in a place of quiet. There's not, I was thinking about this the other day because I think we are at the, I think we're approaching the moment that the Beatles did revolution, which is 1969. Okay. And 1969 was the year that all this nonsense just started to come apart and fall apart.

And that was the year of Altamont. And there was stabbings at these peace festivals like Woodstock. we had gone through the shootings of JFK Malcolm X, RFCK, Martin Luther King, and people were sick of it. They were just sick of it. And there was this moment where the Beatles stepped out and said, you want to hold and carry around pictures of Chairman Mao?

We want to change your head anyhow. No one will follow you. And they made a statement of, you know what, we're not with you. And that one iconic band, even though they had all of this music that was supporting this debauchery, which they don't have now. There is no cultural, there's no cultural tie that ties all of this progressivism and nonsense of how many genocence of how many genitals. there are. There's no iconic look or music, you know, like there was in the 1960s. The one thing that accompanied the change was a revival of the churches. There was the Jesus movement. And it wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't, it didn't go back to the cathedrals. It went to,

hey, you know, Jesus is a cool guy. And Jesus, that was a good example. change my relationship status to in a relationship with the Lord. Yeah. Right. And that is, that's the one thing that's missing. When that starts to happen, I think it will officially be on the downslope of this insanity. Yeah. I mean, I just relate with this, this entire thing, you know, where I've been on the search

for my own church for the past 10 years since I left home. I'm 29. I'm 29. So I went to college, fell out of church, then tried to get back in, but started going to sort of these like rock band churches, right? Where it's like a TED talk and then there's bands playing. I just, I just felt oppressed by the cheese.

I just couldn't do it. And I've just found myself over the time just longing. My Presbyterian church growing up were they sang hymns, right? And you were like the only young person in the pew. They didn't have any projectors to show you the words on the screen. Yeah. And I thought I was an outlier. But this entire piece in the Post says that is actually a trend right now that is swinging.

It's really strange because my faith, if we don't have projectors, it's against rules to use projectors. Very traditional, right? Very traditional. All old hymns. It's an organ. I mean, it is as traditional as it comes. And a lot of people in my faith are like, could we turn the lights on? Is that possible?

Yeah, could we have heat? I mean, and this whole thing has come and gone or is starting to wane. of the big loud churches. And I like occasionally going in. I mean, I'm not as negative as on it. But I think that's the whole point, right? But there's good ones and bad ones. Yeah, the choice is important, right?

I think there's some things that it depends on what serves you best, right? And what furthers the end mission? And you go to a really good one, though. You go to a really good. Gateway is a good. But, yeah, that particular music is really good. And your past guest, Mark Batterson, I used to go to his churches when I lived in Washington. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Fantastic. Really great balance. And that actually was not necessarily a rock band-style churches, but TED Talk speaker. It was the movie theater church. I actually really liked that. I connected with it. Just being right there seat to seat next to everybody.

It was very cool. That was a model that worked for me. A lot of people are going to do churches chicken here in Texas, which is... It's where I get all of my religious experiences. There's no preaching, but the... Jesus, this is good chicken. Yeah. Okay.

Different. Stephen. it's good to talk to you, good to have you. Wait, wait, before you go, Star Wars. What about it? Like, so we have your podcast is about Star Wars and politics, like the fusion intersection of those. What is happening? We have the ninth Star Wars coming out.

This is back to JJ Abrams, right? It is. Give us a little rundown of like the news of Star Wars because it's really, I care about it much more than anything. Okay, Star Wars News. Here we go. All right. So this movie is coming out, December 20th, episode nine, the rise of Skywalker. It is going to be good, I think.

If you're trying to come out of the Last Jedi down. turn. We're going to end with J.J. Abrams, back of the helm. It's a cinematic guy. And we are going to get a more basic approach to Star Wars, I think, that actually rounds this all down. Now, what I want to say is that I'm not nearly excited about episode nine as I am about what's coming out on Disney Plus, the new Disney equivalent of Netflix here in November. The Mandalorian. How many people in your audience grew up wanting that Boba Fett movie, wanting to be the bounty hunter? Well, now you're going to be. You're going to be. to get it, ladies and gentlemen, the

Mandalorian stars Pablo Pascal from Game of Thrones, and it's going to be an Old West style, sort of desert flick, where the Mandalorian bounty hunter unnamed at this point, is roaming an imperial-owned planet to hunt down sort of like

people deserting the empire. I'm all in on this. I'm all in. I mean, that's all that you need from Star Wars I'm going to have to get another subscription. I'll cancel the police. Yeah. That's all that you are. That's amazing. That one sounds great. Oh, yeah. So it's not Boba Fett per se, but it is a bounty hunter movie. Yeah, just another

Mandalorian. All right. And you said the guy who did, Ryan Johnson did the last one, which wasn't, he did. He did. And he was slated for his own trilogy that was going to start in a brand new timeline, not involve Skywalker's. There were rumors it might be the old republic where you had like Jedi armies and Sith armies. But Disney went back on the agreement and they have actually moved away from doing another movie with Ryan Johnson. Well, I mean, you just have to assume that the Last Jedi just was so, it was so tough. So, okay.

So is this the, do we know is this is the last of the original story? That is what they say, right? But kind of they always say this. Yeah, right. Like, no, we are done with this. J.K., five years later, they'll be another one. Right, right. But they have been very clear that the Skywalker story, as we know it,

That's the standout quote. As we know it is over after episode nine. Well, who's left? There is no one left, right? So it kind of really, it is more last time. But that goes to the whole name, the rise of Skywalker. Who are they talking about? And then I have my theory.

Would you like to hear it? Can I take a break and come back? I'm going to take a break. I don't know. Do we want a theory, though? I feel like sometimes... I love theories. I love theories.

I love theories. Okay. One minute. Hang on. It's American financing. Right now, anyone. who has a mortgage or is buying a home has a credible opportunities in front of them. Interest rates dropping again.

Give us Stephen Kent, young voices, host of Beltway Banff, this podcast. who is the last Skywalker? Well, the rise of Skywalker, I believe, is going to be about the class of a new kind of force user.

A year ago, we convened on your show to talk about the possibility of a gray Jedi. This sort of goes back to old Star Wars myth that there would be somebody who could walk between the light and the dark. And we were like, hmm, we don't know about that. That sounds kind of subjective, right? Like Disney's doing away with good and evil. But the theory goes that Ray,

is going to walk away from all of this with Kylo, with the ancient text of the Jedi, and be able to form a new class of force user called Skywalker's. This actually has roots back in old Star Wars books that are no longer factual or no longer canon, as they say. The Skywalker will be its own class of force user, and that will blend both the good of the light and part of the good sides of the dark. The good sides of the dark. Yeah, the good. Good sides of the dark. Sounds like a democratic socialist.

Being able to use your emotions, right? And that's kind of what undermines the Jedi so often is that they're walled off from feeling and walled off from emotion. And that's what the dark side preaches to excess. I thought it was an end justify the means sometimes. Well, that's what we don't know, right? I thought it was going to be people who actually save lives but can act. Because they have the good side of the dark side and the good of the good.

Yeah. Yeah. Of the light side. Right. My Mark Hamel critique right there. Because, I mean, you root for the guy, but it's just... It's tough. I mean, especially in that original three, which I'd like...

Well, I had a hard time when they had Carrie Fisher out in space. I wanted her just to float away. The government is not coming for your guns. No. Hamel is coming for your guns. All right. Thank you so much, Steve. Thank you, Glenn.
