The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. There is so much to go over today. MSNBC is saying that Trump facilitated Epstein's death, and yet you're the conspiracy theorist. You're the dangerous one. Even though you have, you know, Cuomo just going crazy on somebody. even though he's called himself Fredo, just going crazy on people,

and yet you're the one that is out of control. You're the one that is causing all of the problems with fossil fuels. And it's important that we don't have fossil fuels anymore, according to AOC. In fact, I'm going to take it a step further. It's now being recommended that you only, you only, I don't know how else,

To say this, you only go poop every other day now to help the environment. Yeah, yeah. That and the real story that is going on of people actually under siege, people who are standing up for their own freedom and pleading. Please, America, hear us, and we're not. the truth behind what's happening in Hong Kong in one minute. This is the Glymbach program. You know, once upon a time, we lived in a country with wide diversity of opinions and a basic set of shared values.

We might not have had the same religion or any religion, but we agreed that life was precious. We might not have belonged to the same political party, but we could all agree that the government shouldn't be in control of every aspect of our life. It's hard to look back through the increasingly foggy lens of time and see that that was once the case and now it's not. But that's why there's the rise of companies like Patriot Mobile and why Patriot Mobile is

so important. Patriot Mobile is America's only conservative cell phone company. The company is run by veterans who believe in the good heart of this country the way you do.

I remember it was the summer of 1989. And I remember seeing something happen in China. And this was a magical five years for freedom.

Communism was falling apart. Berlin Wall was coming down. And people in China, students, made a statue of liberty in Tiananmen Square. They were standing up for freedom and the rights of all men. It was amazing. And then everything turned June 3rd, 1989. 200,000 soldiers crawled through the streets of Beijing, aiming their type 56 assault rifles at students and protesters. They were charged with forcibly ending a counter-revolutionary,

riot. It was muggy that day. A raving heat overtook the air. Riots usually happen in the summertime. The heat does something to us, I think. The protesters who had been protesting for seven weeks tried everything to stop the infantry soldiers from the People's Liberation Army. They sang traditional folk songs. They begged, they pled. A Type 56 AR fires 650 rounds per minute, one bullet right after another. Many of the soldiers' rifles were loaded with expanding bullets. These are the kinds that are banned even in the use of warfare by the Hague. But the soldiers loaded their guns with those bullets and opened fired on the group of students and protesters.

By the end of it, 200 civilians had died. And that's the number according to the Chinese government. the truth is more devastating. Estimates run to over 10,000 people died. You can do that in places like China. Well, that was the summer of 1989, and here we are in the summer of 2019, just a little over 30 years ago. And in China, the memory of the massacre has been roundly suppressed.

You know, we still don't know the fate or even the name of the guy who stood in front of the tank in Tiananmen Square. We don't know what happened to many of those people. The facts have been suppressed. The government has never apologized. Officially footage and audio and photographs of the massacre

don't even exist. And don't think it can't happen again. Don't assume technology will stop a human problem. Looked at what happened in Iran for one. The Tiananmen massacre doesn't appear in search results. Did you know that? Look it up. Tiananmen Massacre. You can search for it. But if you're

anywhere in China, it's part of what's called China's great firewall. Prolific government censorship. Chinese children don't read about it in their textbooks at all. Even the day after the attacks, June 4th, there was no mention of the attacks on the propaganda-driven news. The only hint that something terrible that had happened was that the news anchors were all dressed in black in solidarity with the slain protesters. Some of those anchors

were fired immediately. One of them banned from ever reporting the news ever again in China. What we're seeing now in Hong Kong is history. But it will most likely be a history that only the West will remember

if we even pay attention. Hong Kong is home to 7 million residents with 30 million visitors and tourists every single year. Yesterday, riot police stormed the Hong Kong International Airport in an effort to break up the protests that have raged through the city for weeks. The Chinese government decried the protesters and their actions as acts of terrorism. Like with Tiananmen, many of the protesters weren't even trying to overthrow the government. At first, they were just protesting the extradition bill that would require a Hong Kong resident who doesn't pay taxes to the government in Beijing to serve time in and on mainland China. Crackdowns by Hong Kong police made things only worse. The U.S. State Department said that the U.S. is, quote, staunch in our support for freedom of expression and freedom of peaceful assembly in Hong Kong, end quote.

but that's about as strong as we're going to get. So far the protesters have proven adept at broadcasting the truth. But is anybody listening? Because as we've seen before, they're going to need far more than that. And who knows how much worse things really are? Who knows what information is being suppressed by the state-owned government? Beijing has ratcheted up the inflammatory rhetoric. China media has even said to Hong Kong protesters,

are asking for self-destruction. According to the New York Times, in recent days, China has more aggressively stirred up nationalist and anti-Western sentiment using state and social media. It has manipulated the context of images and videos to undermine the protesters. Chinese officials have begun branding the demonstrations as a prelude to terrorism. End quote. President Trump has remained cold.

After announcing on Twitter that the Chinese government is moving troops to the border with Hong Kong, he wrote, quote, everyone should remain calm and safe. Beijing described the anti-government protest as deranged acts. Hmm. These people will be red flagged at best, that they have spouts of terrorism, and they added that any further violence will be severely punished, without leniency and without mercy. And a government like China means that.

And if we're not careful, the Chinese government will attack its own people and we won't notice. How are the Google results on China today? How about Facebook, these companies that are more than willing to help China in their government suppression of people? The morning after Tiananmen Square, the massacre, PLA troops tore down the statue of the goddess of democracy, which had become a symbol of the protesters' hope. But we've seen through the propaganda. We all remember that one photo of the one man standing in front of the row of tanks ready to die, if that's what it took.

Novelist Pico Lyre said, quote, The heroes of the tank picture are two, the unknown figure in front of the juggernaut and the driver who rose to the moral challenge by refusing to mow down his compatriot, end quote. The picture of the tank man, the most iconic images of the 20th century, is not known by the billions of people in China, especially among younger people. Last week, the head of the central government's office in Hong Kong warned members that it is now a, quote, life or death fight for the very future of Hong Kong. There is no room for retreat, end quote. There's a great song by Charles Wright and the Watts, 1003rd Street rhythm band. It's about our collective humanity. If all men were truly brothers, why then do we hurt one another? Love and peace from ocean to ocean. someone please second my emotion

we may not know what to do about it as individuals but let's not act like this isn't happening who is the unknown rebel who will be the man who stands out in front of a bank grocery stores in each hand groceries in each hand we don't know who's going to do that this time we've yet to find out

but we do know what's at stake and it's at stake all around the world. Freedom. Freedom from tyranny. Real true democracy, not mob rule. There's a reason the protesters have been waving American flags through the air. In Hong Kong, they're fighting for their freedom of assembly, their freedom of speech, their freedom of press. They're fighting for the same things that are all outlined in our First Amendment.

something unique to the United States of America. And if you have any doubts about how great our true rights are, how great our founders were, how great our Constitution is, listen to what happened yesterday in Hong Kong, Chinese protesters, holding American flags, and singing this song. We may not be able to as individuals, but we should at least recognize what they're fighting for.

What they're fighting for is something that most of us just take for granted. Our thoughts and prayers are with those in Hong Kong and all of those anywhere on earth that recognize the big, human rights and are willing to stand not only die for but they've found something to live for so I don't know if you've ever heard of Moore's law but it's the idea that the processing speed of a computer chip will double every two years and we're seeing that happen and it is it's starting to compound now it is the difference between I think it's 24 steps

24 steps, if you count them, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 will take you across a room. But it's 24 or 30 steps that if you double each step, it will take you not across the room, but will actually take you to the moon. That's how compounding Moore's Law actually works. And we're now starting to realize, holy cow, we're almost at the moon. We've been constant witnesses to this action, and nobody knows where the end of this really is. Computers have populated now every corner of our day-to-day world, and it is no surprise that cybercrime has risen to be one of the most virulent strains of evil in our society. And countries like China are behind a lot of it.

It looks like there is some good news, though, with the tariffs and such, seemingly at least being delayed until after the holidays, which is a positive, at least in the very short term. So hopefully that continues.

But, you know, the stuff in Hong Kong is pretty serious. And, I mean, I'm very nervous about which candidates are going to make this next debate. It looks like it might only be 10 or 11.

We were just talking about China. Let me play this audio from MSNBC and analysts that is liking. now Trump supporters to members of a terrorist organization.

Listen to this. You're right. Attacking his followers is going to be counterproductive. He demands that loyalty, and they are loyal. So if you call Trump followers racist and mass, they simply coalesce around each other and become even more defensive and protective of the leader, just as they would and say a terrorist organization

to compare to the radicalization. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Or exactly what happened with the Democrats with Barack Obama. Or what happens with everyone. That is human nature. Human nature. Just like terrorists.

So you're saying, this is a terrorist tactic. You know what's really truly amazing to me is MSNBC can also say this on the same day. Listen to listen to this. What a guest advises on how to win for, how to beat Trump. You don't communicate it to them. You beat them. You beat them. They are not a majority of this country.

The majority of white people in this country are not a majority of the country. And all the people who are not fooled by this need to come together, go to the polls, go to the protests, do whatever you have to do. You do not negotiate with these people. You destroy them. And by the way, the black man said beat them meaning in a poll, in an election. So don't come for the black man. He said beat them in poll. Oh, stop it.

I'll stop it. They're so adorable. But go ahead and go after the white woman who said that these were targeted for election campaigns. Yeah, I mean, it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. So this is the same kind of propaganda, however, that you're seeing happen with China. It's the same thing. This is exactly what they're saying about the protesters in Hong Kong.

They're terrorists. Yeah, they're terrorists. Got to stop them. Got to stop them. Trying to destroy everything. It's been, it's been amazing to watch because what was it? has it been, I think, 16 weekends of protests. And on the first one, they had that rally and they had the pictures of how they took over Hong Kong.

Yeah. They said it, I think they said it was a million or two million. It looked like 10 million or 20 million. It looked like everybody in Asia was there. And then so that made such an impression that they put that bill, that extradition to Beijing bill on hold. That still didn't stop them because it wasn't enough. They wanted to ensure their freedom. It's amazing to see these people go out week after week after week and continue to do these peaceful demonstrations.

They don't take freedom for granted. Yeah, they know this is the end. Have you noticed that when you watch the video, have you seen all the green laser pointers? Yeah, yeah. Okay. You know what that's for? No. That's to confuse the facial recognition of China.

Oh, wow. So they're trying to put it, you know, when you ever see the cops coming, they're putting laser pointers all over green laser pointers and just trying to confuse the cameras on the cops, confuse the cameras up above so you can't facially recognize anybody. These guys are all dead. And they know this is the last chance. If China comes in and really controls Hong Kong the way they're going to, they're done. They're in a box.

And this is their last chance. And there's military forces massing at the border. Oh, yeah. I mean, they're getting ready to do it. Those are just exercises, Pat. Oh, okay. Is that what that is? The exercise is the China, because China doesn't have any other room for exercises.

Couldn't they exercise at home? Well, they're right across the water there. Oh, okay. But they don't have any other room in the country to be able to set up a large military exercise other than right there by the large city of Hong Kong. There's just no other space. There's a lot of space. It's like America's running out of space.

We're running out of space. Yeah, we're out of space. You know, it's just, it's heartbreaking because are we going to, are we going to ignore them? It looks like it. We ignored the Kurds. In fact, you remember the extreme song, More Than Kurds? No, that's more than words. To give people to care.

So let me, let me ask you this. We ignored the Iranians. We ignored the Kurds. We're going to ignore Hong Kong. If you're president of the United States right now, what do you do? I, I use diplomatic sources to press. pressure them behind the scenes. I come out and I...

And maybe put on trade sanctions and get a coalition of trade partners together to, you know, talk about trade sanctions. Really? Do you see the Dow is down 400 points today? It was up yesterday about 400 points because we relieve the trade sanctions. See, this is the problem. We already have trade sanctions going and it's killing our economy. And so he pulls the...

them off yesterday, which is a sign of weakness and really can be interpreted as non-support. I don't know if you saw the stories that were out from Hong Kong, I mean, sorry, from China, mainly and from the Chinese point of view, is that Trump caved and he has no, he has no way of affecting China at all. China's now the big dog and they can do whatever they want in. in Hong Kong. Well, that's because he saw the economy was starting to come apart and you have to remove some of those trade sanctions. So he said up until Christmas, what is he going to do?

You're going to put more trade sanctions on? You'll flush the economy. Then who do we help? Then who do we help? I mean, it's- So you just leave them to? No, I mean, this is one of those moral things where you, because of the situation we're in, You remember, and we talked about this, John F. Kennedy talked about, FDR talked about this,

that there's going to come a time when Social Security happens and there's no money in the lockbox, and there won't be any good options left because we won't have any money. And so everything that we do will be a bad choice. Everything will hurt. Well, we're there now with our deficit and everything else. Everything that we want to do is going to is going to hurt us. We're now in that situation with Iran, almost with Iran. We're definitely there with North Korea.

We're almost there with Russia. And we are there with China. China is ready. I mean, China has been playing the West. And we have not seen it come. We have just not seen it coming. We have dismissed them over and over again as posers, as people who can only steal technology. That was true in 2008.

That is not true in 2019. They have changed and they have done it expertly with a plan. You know, that's the one thing about central planning. It never works with the economy, but it certainly does with strategy on how to take over other countries. and take over the world, they have done it with their tech partners. They've come in and they've stole everything. Well, they've also done it with the hybrid of capitalism so that they could get 400 million of their own people out of poverty. Correct.

And they have their own market now. Correct. So now we are looking at China. Just look at 5G. We're looking at China controlling all of the information around the world and being able to control people. What they're really protesting about in Hong Kong is, they're free. They don't want any of the surveillance crap.

They don't want to, they don't want to be shipped off to a concentration camp. That's the extradition thing. That means if I protest, I go to a concentration camp in China, I don't think so. We're not going to support them because I don't think we have any bullets in our gun. We have no bullets.

The best hope for them, I think, is what you guys just talked about, which is a big part of this capitalist revolution. with China is Hong Kong, right? Like a big part of this economic benefit, a huge part of all. Which is why they've left them alone this long. So maybe, and this is why I think if you're a protester and you want freedom, you've got to be tempted at least to be sitting there.

Let's just say you're in your higher eyes. You're in Hong Kong and you're seeing all these protests going on. There's got to be a temptation to say, look, I want freedom as much as you do. But don't antagonize these guys. They've been leaving us alone for a long time. And yes, it's going in the wrong direction. but if we don't, if we continue to go and protest in the hundreds of thousands in the streets, eventually China's just going to say screw it, we're taking the whole thing over again.

No more special rules for you guys. And it's just going to be over. They will eventually iron fist this thing unless Hong Kong wins their own separation. And the odds of that happening without help from someone like us is almost zero. Yeah, it's zero basically. Here's what we're watching. is a repeat of history, and I think it's the repeat of Poland. Poland thought that everybody would stand up for him, and the world said, we'll stand up for

you. Don't worry. He's not going to take it. He marched in, Hitler, he took Poland, and the West did nothing. They did nothing about it because they thought at the time they didn't have any bullets in their gun, and they didn't. The United States wasn't going to go in. We weren't going to join them.

Dunkirk had just happened. England was the people behind the Nazi iron curtain in Poland, they didn't have any idea if England even still stood. The last thing they had heard about England was the Germans had them at Dunkirk, had them surrounded and ready to just slaughter and chop off England's head. Then the lights went out and they didn't know. they thought England had fallen too because nobody was coming to rescue them. Nobody was doing anything.

I mean, we're seeing the same thing. And the poor people in China, because of people like Google, Google is the, I think they are one of the most evil companies in history. Their slogan is don't be evil. No, they change that slogan. Well, yeah, but they remember it, which is really weird, isn't it? That's weird. It is weird. Yeah.

So they are so damn evil. They are working with the Chinese. And the reason why they're doing it is not just because of the market. I don't think that Google cares as much as we think it does about having China as a market for their search engine. What they care about is AI. And if they can have another billion people. in that system teaching AI on how the human brain works, they will have access to more people than anyone else in the world.

And that's what they're after. China and Google are both after the same thing. And Google thinks if we can get all the Chinese people and the Western world, we'll have it because China only has China. They don't have the rest of the world. Google wants both of them, and this is just a race for AI. It is so unbelievably immoral because Google is working and helping China, helping them round up people. So if you're Trump, what do you do about this situation?

You just leave them hang? The first thing I do is today I take all trade sanctions away. Take them off. Take him off. And that looks like... Not just on China. Europe, everybody. Done.

I'm done with the trade war. Because he has to win this election. And if the economy goes to hell, he doesn't win. What was it? Bank of America came out and said there's now a one in three chance that we're in a recession. In the next year. In the next year. And if that happens, I mean, you know, right.

It's almost impossible for a president to win in that scenario. And if you don't think, listen to people like Bill Maher, and there was some other person in the media that just joined him this week that said, I'm hoping, I'm hoping for an economic breakdown. If you don't think that China, Russia, whoever else is hoping for an economic breakdown, if you don't think that there are people at the highest levels who think they are beyond, you know, a George Soros, do you think he's going to be hurt by a breakdown? No, he'll capitalize on a breakdown. If you don't think that there are people that will do everything they can for an economic

breakdown. You're fooling yourself. Donald Trump must do everything he can. And the first thing he has to do is remove the trade barriers. Do you know that our brains are not designed to remember pain accurately? It's kind of a biological defense mechanism that allows us to live better lives. It helps moms go through childbirth. If you had an exact memory, you're not going through childbirth the second time. You were, what's amazing to me is you were just screaming, get it out of me, two minutes before. And now everything is fine.

The people who have really tortured life are those seven people, I think, that there are on earth that have perfect recollection. For some of us, the pain is a daily thing. And it is a constant reminder that life is. really hard. If you're suffering from pain, chronic pain, what price would you pay to make that pain go away? What price would you put on making you go away for a loved one? I highly recommend relief factor. And, you know, look, if you're on fentanyl relief factor, I don't think is going to do it for you. But if you were taking, if you were taking any drug or you're considering taking

drugs from the doctor, please try this first. This was designed. by doctors, this is something that will relieve your pain it has in my life to a astonishing degree. If you want a drug-free, natural way to ease your pain, you have to reduce the inflammation and that is exactly what relief factor does. Call 800, 500, 583-84, 800-5-83-84, or click on relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com.

Entertainment and enlightenment. There is a new poll out on who the Democrats want to be their candidate, and I, for one, could not be more, surprised. Well, I mean, I could. It could be Beto. But this is not what I expected at all. What does it mean? We'll give you the latest poll in one minute. This is the Glimbeck program. Okay, despite what the movies say, we're probably not going to wind up living in an apocalyptic landscape dotted by roving zombies and warlords in Land Rovers. I'm just saying,

probably not I mean, do you have any evidence on that? I mean, you kind of seem to to be throwing that one out there like it's true. Well, I'm saying probably. I mean, it does exist. I mean, that, you know, the chance is out there. No more than 75% chance though.

Correct. Okay. Correct. You know, I'm probably not going to, you know, have to trade stew for food, even though I would. I mean, if somebody, you know, Rush Limbaugh was like, hey, give me stew, I'll give you food. Okay. But I don't think that's going to happen to you. So rest assured.

I don't think so. Mainly because Rush is not going to ask for you. I would say that's the most likely part of that. That being said, it is important to be prepared for more realistic situations that can be just as dire because they do happen. Hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, all kinds of natural disasters can strike where you live. And you know what? The economy is a little shaky. And you just don't know what could happen. Breaking news.

Stu? Yeah, it's a little shocking. You know, she's been making a row. run for quite a bit here. It's a new economist UGov poll. It's out today. Has in the Democratic primary, Joe Biden at 21%. One point behind, Elizabeth Warren

at 20. And then Bernie Sanders at 16, Kamala Harris at 8, Buttigieg and O'Rourke at 5. Which is actually a pretty good poll for Beto. Hitting 5 is like... Well, he did change his own tire. He did. I think that's probably, it probably gave him at least two points there. Yeah. Because he was so

convincing doing it. He just but he's guys on his hands and knees just fixing cars all the time. That's what he does. Right. That's his, right. I mean, that's his normal day. You know, you're usually out with somebody who is filming you change a tire to. What are you doing, petto? I'm just changing a tire. That's, it's so every man. It's so every man. But 2120. I mean, that one point. I mean, Elizabeth Warren was the one candidate who I thought the Democrats would be smart enough to not nominate because she's just custom built to lose the, Donald Trump. She is the perfect candidate to face Donald Trump if you want Donald Trump to win. Right. She is she has a very little personality. She does not do well under pressure. She comes off as very inauthentic. She's not likable. She's a she's a, you know, she's an auto. She's a Hillary Clinton. Technocrat is what I meant to say. Yeah. She's a she's a Hillary Clinton who is a technocrat. She is a college professor. Right. That's not likable. Yeah.

And, you know, she obviously has lots of crazy plans. And there's that part, I think, where people, she was smart enough to brand herself as having the person who has a plan for everything. I think it's smart. Now, that used to be something that would terrify Americans, right? I mean, that used to be the type of thing where you'd say, well, wait, wait, the central government has a plan for everything. Yeah. That's not the type of thing you would advertise back in the day. Right.

Your plan would be to free people from the government. Right. It would not be, I've got plans to make the government bigger and more strong and in every aspect of your life. And even if those were your plans, I mean, you go back to a person like Bill Clinton who would say, look, we know the era of big government is over, but we need to solve these common sense problems. And we can all do that together. Right. That's not the approach of Elizabeth Warren.

Well, because she is appealing to, I think, a number of people, especially those who are millennials that say this system doesn't work. Remember when I was at Fox and I said, there's going to come a time when they're going to say, yeah, you know what? I am a socialist. And you know why? Because capitalism doesn't work. Because none of this stuff is working. Right now, there's a lot of people that think this doesn't work. We need a plan.

And there's a reason why it doesn't work because it's neither a capitalist system or a socialist system. It's not a constitutional republic anymore. We have violated the Bill of Rights and the Constitution every single day. Every single day. We did a series of shows on the violations of just the first 10 amendments, the Bill of Rights. Every single one of those had been violated, even the quartering of soldiers. Third Amendment, baby, yeah, because it's the one where they say, except in war time. So it can still happen in war time, by the way.

But soldiers can't just show up at your house and quarter themselves there. That's not okay. Okay. So now, but you have to understand, to understand how it's being violated, you have to understand what that meant. The reason why was because the king would just take soldiers and he'd say, you know what? I think John Adams is a spy. I think he's, I think he's a danger. I want you to go in. I want you to watch his family. I want you to listen to what they're saying. And I want you to go through his stuff in his papers. Find out what he's up to. But they're just sleeping at the house. No big deal. They just need a little shelter for the night. So they show up. They do a little search. They'd look around. They do their thing. Right. And so they were quartered.

Well, isn't that what the NSA is doing? I mean, honestly, isn't that what Alexa is doing and Google Home? Now, they're not part of the government. So it's important to remember they're not constitutionally bound. Only the government. But isn't that what the NSA is doing? They're collecting all of this information. They're quartering soldiers.

They're just digital soldiers in our house. We are absolutely violating every single part of the Constitution. And that's why things aren't working. We're not a free market. We're not. We are less free economically than the people that they say they want to make us into in Sweden. They have more economic freedom when it comes to starting businesses and everything else than we do now. That's saying something.

So that's why this system is falling apart because we're not doing what our system is supposed to do. We are a broken system, but it's not that it's not that it was broken. It's that it has been broken. Somebody's been throwing tire irons into the machinery and into the gears. And it's people like Elizabeth Warren. What's amazing, last night we did a TV show. If you haven't subscribed to the Blaze, what do you thinking? What do you think?

And at 5 o'clock yesterday, I did a show comparing Elizabeth Warren to Woodrow Wilson. She is Woodrow Wilson. What she wants to do is exactly what Woodrow Wilson wanted to do. Woodrow Wilson laid it all out, and they've been trying to do it for 100 years. Now, think of this. Woodrow Wilson was a college professor. He was new to politics.

He was kind of roped into it. He becomes president, and what does he want to do? He wants to change the Constitution. he does not want to eat around the corners or the edges. He doesn't want to do that. He wants fundamental transformation. He says put the hood up on the Constitution. The Declaration of Independence is meaningless and the Constitution needs to be changed.

And so does our system of economy. Now, his playbook really came from his main advisor who actually lived at the White House. Wouldn't this be weird if our president said, hey, uh, Steve Bannon, I want you to live here at the White House with me. And Steve moved his stuff in and was living at the White House. Wouldn't that be weird? That's what that's, Steve's all in on that, by the way. Yeah, I know. He's happy about that. I mean, everybody would be up in arms and that. Who is this guy? Now living at the White House with the president? Well, that's what Woodrow Wilson did with a guy named Colonel House. He wasn't a colonel. It is his title that everybody called him.

Colonel House. And he wrote a book called Philip Drew Administrator. And it was basically a way to, in a novel form, explain what Woodrow Wilson wanted to do. And in it, it talks about changing the constitution. And it has a whole new proposed constitution in it. But listen just to a couple of things. and tell me that this isn't Elizabeth Warren and most of the Democrats. Just the dedication to this book, 1912, this book is dedicated to the unhappy many who have lived and died lacking opportunity because in the starting, the worldwide social structure was wrongly begun. What's that saying? It's saying that the system that we have was wrong in the way. the first place and it's oppressed people and now all these people are not experiencing any

kind of fairness at all that's the dedication to this book that is the could be the dedication to almost all of their campaigns listen a couple of other things um the question of taxation was one of the most complex problems uh with which the administrator had to deal with now what he's what what this story is about is there's a civil war in America. If you think progressives don't want a civil war, they don't want to divide and conquer, read Philip Drew administrator. This was the original progressive plan.

So there's a great civil war that happens in America because people are just, you know, the system's broken and, and there's so much unfairness and inequality and everything else that there's a great civil war. and one of the heroes of the war is Philip Drew, and he gets a medal, and everybody loves him and his metal. And just like him and his dog, it's him and his medal, goes to Washington and changes everything. So he's talking about taxation here. Philip Drew, he's the administrator. He's not a president.

Don't call me a president. This is exactly what Hitler did, so you know, why was Hitler, why was Hitler called the Furer? He was called the Furer, the leader. In the same way, he's called the administrator. He's not good enough to be called the president. He's not good enough to

take, I'm trying to remember Von what's his name, Hindenberg. He wasn't good enough to take that title. So he'll just take Chancellor. He'll just, I'm more humble than that. That's what Philip Drew is doing here. He's saying, I'm just going to be an administrator. I don't need any fancy titles.

And he surrounds himself, listen to this with taxes. He gets a board of five to advise with him to carry out his very well-defined ideas and plans. I have a plan for everything. So did Philip Drew. Very, very well-defined ideas. But he puts these people together. And on the board for taxes is a political economist. a banker who's thought to be the ablest man of his profession,

a farmer who is very successful and a practical man, a manufacturer and a congressman. Those are the people that get together and they know better than everyone else. And they put this plan together. And the administrator just goes ahead and puts it in because as it says later, uh, upon assuming, Assuming charge of the affairs of the Republic.

This is Philip Drew, the administrator. This is Elizabeth Warren. You know, given this title now of being the administrator, he had largely retained the judiciary as it was, you know, as it was constituted at the time. But he also made a few changes in the personnel of state and federal officials. Therefore, as yet, there had been no confusion in the public's business. So in other words, business went on. He kept the Supreme Court. and he made some changes at the state and local level, sure, which, by the way, included changing state constitutions, pretty much abolishing the states.

And he said, everything seemed about as usual, you know, with an exception that there was no legislative bodies currently sitting anymore. And the function of lawmaking was confined to one individual, the administrator himself. If you read this and you look at Woodrow Wilson and you look at Elizabeth Warren, they're saying the same things. And you got to remember, this is not a dictator. This is not a dictator. This is just an administrator of somebody who's going to work with the smartest people around, all of the most educated people around, and they'll have a plan for everything.

and just give them the power to implement their plan for everything. It is the height of arrogance. It's what scared the living daylights out of the American people with Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson needed a war to do this. But don't worry. Don't worry. If we don't have a war as conventional thinking tells us, we do have the war on climate.

You know, if you look at what happened in the era of Woodrow Wilson,

and you want to know who progressives are, All you have to do is you have to just go back and you look at the things they tried to pass for a constitutional amendment when people were actually still paying attention to the Constitution. In 1911, they wanted to abolish the Senate. Instead, what they did is they changed the way the Senate works. And so now the Senate was a national office instead of a state office. That was one of the biggest changes that we had. Then they did prohibition. They also did the income tax.

At the same time they were doing this in 1912, they wanted a constitutional amendment to forbid interracial marriage. You know, it's very progressive. 1914, they wanted to ban divorce. It was very progressive. That was largely what progressives were doing in that time. Of course, that's eugenics. That's also marriage licenses were based very largely on that concept. In 1933, they wanted to limit personal wealth, a constitutional amendment that would limit personal wealth to $1 million.

After that, everything went to the state. Incredible. This is a group. of people for a very long time that have been working to take what you have and what you've earned and tell you exactly where that money goes and how exactly to live your life.

BlazTV.com. Use a promo code Glenn for Glenn's TV show and see the whole story. Ben Howe. He is an interesting man, columnist, podcaster, television writer, filmmaker, award-winning political ad producer.

I mean, he is one of the most sought-after talents in. the industry when it comes to messaging and ads. And I think if you look at the story of America, we had good founding fathers. It had principles. And we would stray, but those founders would just keep saying the same principles to us. And we might lose our way. But for a while there, we kept returning to those principles. And now I think we've gotten into a dark period where we're beginning to question whether we're good at all anymore.

And that's our biggest problem. We can't even see our upbringing and our principles anymore. And I think Ben Howe's life is almost that same story. Welcome to the program, Ben. How are you? I'm good. Thanks for that introduction. I really appreciate it.

Do you see what I'm saying about comparing your life to America? I do. I think, you know, there's lots of people across the country where they run into this situation where their principles are really important to them, but the urgency of their lives also invades. And I think worldwide what America has tried to do is maintain our values ahead sometimes of what might be the easiest. or most urgent solution.

And I think that's an important thing. It's what I do try to do. I fail often at it, just like anyone would. I think we all do. So, Ben, help me out on this, because you have a new book out called the Immoral Majority, which is a fascinating read. And I want to pose a couple of things to you. For instance, Hong Kong.

My principle says that we should stand with the people of Hong Kong. However, I'm President of the United States. I probably go with the economy and not risk a global depression or a global war. Have I violated my principles? I don't believe so, no, because I think that, and this is one of the things that I talk about in the book with Pastor Robert Jeffries of First Baptist Church in Dallas. there's a there's needs of the government which is an entity you know it's not an individual

it's a person it has interests that are being protected by people when we talk about the character of the people that are going to be doing that I think it's very important but there are certainly foreign policy needs and sovereignty considerations that are different than what an individual might have to consider so I think we should be doing what we can to help people around the world but we do have to protect our own interests. The issue is not whether or not you can maintain your personal principles,

or for instance, as Robert Jeffrey said, which was outlandish, in my opinion, he said of Trump that because he did not exemplify the characteristics that Jesus spoke of on the sermon on the Mount, that made him a good president. In other words, in a way he was saying run as far as you can. but that's because he was conflating the individual of Donald Trump with the needs of the country. Certainly the country, functionally speaking, needs to have considerations that aren't the same as the individual. It's why we're – I think it's why we're so tribal right now. We're expected to agree with everything anyone says or does, and that's not true.

I might agree with some of the policies or what they're doing, but I might not like them as an individual, or I may not agree with this one part of it, but it's all or nothing now, especially on the left. Well, I would say that I honestly believe it's just as bad on the right. I mean, I hate to be a dirty both sides are. But the issue that I see is that so much of the ways that, Because over the years, I was a conservative.

I was a tea partier. I mean, I was still a conservative. I was a tea partier. I wrote Red State. You know, I've done the blaze. I like everything. And I felt the same things everyone else said, the attacks, the accusations of racism, the political correctness gone awry.

But what I've seen since I came out against Trump, and I know that you saw this as well in 2016, was this other side of that. I started getting attacked by the right, and I saw so many similarities, words being used. So as an example, political correctness is so horrible. Every time somebody, you know, says something against Barack Obama, it's racism. Well, the right doesn't do that, but now every time you say something against Donald Trump, you're a snowflake. It's the same mentality. It's the same attitude. It's the same bad faith. And with that kind of bad faith, we will never bridge the gap. It's going to lead eventually to irreconcilable differences

at the level of war. And we have to find a way. to be able to talk to each other. Right. And that's why, again, I don't want to make this about Donald Trump or I do want to make it about principles and how we look at things. If right now, I can't have a conversation with anyone because if I'm talking to a diehard Trump supporter, there are things that he does and things that he says that I strongly disagree with that I'm really, I'm like, I wish he wouldn't do it. Trade. This is killing us the way he lives his life, you know, or has in the past. I don't like that at all. But if I talk to somebody and I say, I'm, yeah, you know, I agree with the president on this. Well, then you agree with all the things that he's done or is doing. And it's like, no, no. I'm not a cafeteria Christian. I know when it comes to. Christ, I buy in to Christ. But other than that, I am cafeteria. I do look for, you know, this person has this and this person has that. And we'll never, you're right about bridging the gap. We will never bridge a gap. As long as we keep telling each other, you're all good or you're

all bad. Well, and I think one of the issues too, specifically with Christians, which was, you know, not to say they're the only group that has an issue, but coming from that world, it was most urgent to me to address Christians. And one of the things that I really think is a huge problem right now is self-delusion. People, they will lie to themselves to believe they're doing something right, even if they're defying their principles, because underneath it is a desire to fulfill their self-interest. You know, they want their things that are more related directly to their lives, but they also don't want to seem as though they're defying their principles when they, you know, completely backtrack on everything that they said about those 90s. You don't even, you don't even need to go there, Ben. You make a point in the book about, um, uh, philosopher's train of thought about how you, um, Stu, we were just talking about it.

Yeah, yeah. And hey, Ben, it was talking, you mentioned this, and I think this is a really profound point, which is, which is now Glenn's going to say. No, go ahead. No, go ahead. No, I think this is really profound in that a lot of times we look at things. We make, everyone has, you know, whatever politician it is, you're making difficult decisions. Sometimes there's things you don't like in sometimes there's things that you do. And a lot of times, Christians would justify that. And we do often in saying that like, well, we keep losing this and we keep losing this. And we keep losing this. and if we don't vote this way, we're going to lose this. And even as high as a religious liberty and all these really important issues that are really important. But we don't look at it as the way that we probably should, which is not feeling bad for ourselves or losing something, but feeling bad for others who are missing out on the things, you know, eternally from a larger perspective that we're supposed to be representing in our everyday lives. Well, absolutely. I think that, you know, what you think is best.

people, you know, Judeo-Christian values and what the country has founded on, and you know what's good and you want what's good and you want other people to be a part of that. As you start getting attacked, which, by the way, we were, you know, as Christians we were told we would be. But you start to be attacked, you know, people start to impugn your motives. It is easy and understandable, I think, to reach a point of exhaustion and anger and to want vengeance and all of these other things. Totally. Everything we're going through is human names. nature, everything. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And I think that's why there's so many warnings against those very things is to try to instruct us that, you know, you can both have an interest

in your life and your children and your job and everything else, but you don't have to do it at the expense of some of the most important things that were said in the Bible, like loving each other, loving your enemy, not returning evil with evil. I mean, these are really fundamental aspects of being a Christian in the world and operating in the world without losing the perspective of the kingdom. And I think that people get so afraid that they're going to lose their stuff, that they start to think of it completely backwards. We should be weeping for people who don't join us, not for ourselves and what we lose. People that followed Jesus directly were crucified upside down before they die.

I mean, they suffered immensely. any one of them could have been at that moment just been like, you know what, if I just lie and I say I don't believe this, maybe they'll let me go and rationalize to themselves and it's important that I'm here so that I can tell other people. But no, they didn't do that. They stuck to their principles all the way to the point of death

because there are more important things than our suffering. Ben, can I take you back to something pretty interesting outside of politics because it made me think of just parenting issue, which is you grew up and you kind of got into a little, bit of trouble became sort of a troubled youth, as they said. Wait, can I just say, I reject your premise that I grew up. Yeah, right. And your parents dealt with, I mean, because you got into drugs and everything,

your parents dealt with this in a really interesting way, and you kind of looked at that as seemingly like the foundation for the book. I'm curious as to, can you explain that story and what they did? Because I, I, as you were explaining it, it seems really noble. And then part of me thought, well, I don't know. I mean, it's scary, I think, as a parent to go through something like that. And absolutely. And look, I have four kids.

So, you know, at this point, I'm waiting for the universe to enact some revenge on me. Oh, your mother's words, I hope you have a child just like you. They will come true. And, but so, yeah, I was one of three kids. I was the youngest. And when we moved, my brother went in the Marine Corps, Caleb Howe. He's also, my sister went to college. So I was suddenly an only child in another town.

I give what I think a lot of teenagers might do in that situation, which is I found a way to adapt. And it turns out if you smoke pot and do other drugs and drink and basically rebel, you can make a lot of friends. At some point that culminated with, you know, I don't know, statute of limitations here, but let's just say I was doing a lot of illegal things. And I got arrested for possession and paraphernalia, things of that nature.

My gag came. They bailed me out. And I was waiting to hear all of the horrible things that were going to have to happen while I waited to find out what was going to ultimately be my fate. And he said he just wanted me to bring my friends over and that we could talk about anything. And it didn't have to be religious. He was happy to talk about religion, but the only rule was we had to bring something to talk about. I talked my friends into coming with me, you know, none of them wanted to come. but within a few weeks, it was like they couldn't wait.

And it grew from five to about 15 or 20. No, you know, they didn't treat me like I was more special or anything. They treated everyone like they were smart and welcome. And these were kids that my parents had every reason to believe were corrupting me. And they brought them into their home. And some of them lived with us for a while because they had gotten kicked out of their own homes. And so looking back as an adult and my parents, parents unwillingness to kick me out, even as bad as everything got.

Yeah, it was tough for them. They suffered through it, though, because they had to show me unconditional love, and they did. Caleb, I mean, not Caleb. Ben, thank you so much. By the way, that's the free. I was, as I was looking through, I was the first time I ever realized that you and Caleb were related. I knew both of you, both of your work, obviously, the Blaze and many other conservative

sources, Ben Howe, Caleb, how? I had no idea they were related. By looking at our pictures, which one do you think is older? really. Ben, thank you so much. Co-host of the Fifth Estate Show and the author of the new book, The Immoral Majority, Ben Howe.

Thank you so much, Ben. Thank you so much for having me. You bet. It's strange to think that somewhere right now, maybe in your neighborhood, there is a burglar, there is somebody that is looking at a house, and they're not casing it.

They just want stuff now. And he's a man of fine tastes, if you will. this burglar, he will help himself to your television, whatever the finest is that you have. He will quickly latch on to that. He'll take that fine Xbox that maybe you bought your kid for Christmas, you know, all that sweet cash that has been cleverly hidden, you know, in your refrigerator. Wherever your freezer, wherever it is, they will find it. and it's going to take them about 15 minutes from start to finish.

And they know that 15 minutes the cops don't come. The cops usually are there in 45 minutes, even if he sets off the alarm. Well, now things are changing because Simply Safe has state-of-the-art equipment that our burglar friend is not going to like or want to take a chance on.

First of all, ice shooting yesterday. How come the media is not covering this? Where is this story? Also, what's happening in Portland this weekend, another possible trigger. And a strange story that is not getting a lot of coverage because there's not a lot of information out yet, that we're going to be going through tonight at 5 o'clock. And I want to give you a preview of it because if you've thought that maybe there was something going on with the Justice Department and FBI when it comes to

Hillary Clinton and the lack of investigations with Russia and then the rush to an investigation with Donald Trump there may be some pretty solid evidence here that something very

is very rotten inside of the FBI and the Justice Department and we'll get to that in one minute this is the Glimbeck program so you know, when I was a kid,

uh, medicine was radically different. Um, you know, your doctors, hadn't even been invented yet, had it? Shut up.

Uh, doctors, you know, didn't just meet with, uh, they actually knew us. Uh, and they'd get a, a real understanding of the problem. Uh, some things, you know,

like that were better back then. But that was also the time where they were like, your stomach hurts, huh? Well, let me schedule you for some exploratory surgery. And I'm going to cut you open and just see what's in there. Maybe a Tonka toy. I don't know. I remember hearing, yeah, they just sewed him back up.

It was so bad. They just sewed him back up. Oh, my gosh. And that was normal when I was growing up. Now look at what we have. Now your DNA can tell you years and. advance. Get your DNA kit from 23 and me.com slash back. It is, it is so great. It was such a great family experience to be able to track our genes and to see where we were from. My son, who's

adopted, he really loved this, found out that he is, I think, 1.5 African. And he was very excited. because I was, I think, I think I was 0.5 or 1% African, no, not African. Native American, but Native American. More, it was like, what, a thousand times more Native American than Elizabeth Warren. Yeah, so it was really exciting. But there's other reasons to get this done.

Welcome to Jason Buttrill, who is our chief researcher here on the Glenn Beck program, former military intelligence, and a guy I depend on an awful lot when we're looking into things like Elon Omar and things where we have to, where there's, where you need somebody who has done Intel before, to look in and really try to dig down and see what's going on. One of the things that we've followed for a long time is Russia and their cozy relationship with the Clintons, especially when it came to Gazprom. And we've done a lot of episodes on Gazprom.

And why wasn't Clinton investigated? And what did the FBI actually had? They had literally a mountain of evidence showing that there is corruption in the United States. And yet it was never really pursued. I saw a story about a friend of mine, Patrick Byrne, who is the CEO of Overstock. This guy's a straight ahead libertarian. He doesn't pull any punches. He's not a political guy.

He does not get involved in, you know, Republican and Democrat. I think probably hates both sides or, you know, just as, you know, as antipathy for both sides equal. and I saw this story come out that that he somehow or another has evidence that is now with the FBI because he was involved with the Gazprom investigation with the FBI and also with the Trump investigation of Russia. And for the life of me, as I'm reading it, I couldn't make heads or tails of it. I sent it to Jason. I said, could you look into this?

and I sent you several different stories that all kind of have to piece together. Can you tell me what's, what this story is? I think the majority of the people probably let this story slip by because you're thinking this is the overstock CEO. So why would he know anything about this?

And pretty much everyone just said, forget it. That interview where he mentioned that, it was on Fox business, I believe. And the, the, the accusations were explosive. They really were. I mean, he was talking about, you know, people, you know, committing political espionion. and it was at the highest levels of the FBI.

And he said that the information was about to come out. But he said that he was going to come out and release some of this information to a select few just to kind of get people on the right track. So they'll kind of like push the government, you know, if some of this information came out. Well, right after he made these claims, he pretty much went radio silent on it.

And the claims, like you said, they said he claimed that he was at the very center of the beginnings of the Russia process, and the Clinton investigation. Now, he didn't go into any of the inside, you know, information about the Clinton information. So we're kind of left a guess on that one. And by and large, we were left a guess on the Russia probe stuff. But we did some digging around.

Now, he did an interview that same day. This was on August the 12th. He didn't interview that same day. It was not on camera. It was just a sit-down interview with an investigative journalist. And he started talking about how he got into a, I guess, a relationship with, a, do you remember the Maria Butina? She was the Russian that was supposedly a spy that had gotten in with the NRA and everybody else.

Right. And there was really something fishy about the whole thing. We talked about it, I believe, on this show that I was like, this is insane that you're calling this woman a Russian spy. I mean, has tradecraft gotten that bad even since I got out of the intelligence community? Because if it has, I mean, we have nothing to fear from the Russians at all. Because she was very public, right? A very public figure. She was, at least, to say the least.

Yeah, she was a very public figure in Russia. The Russians hated her because they were leery of her because she was all about, I guess libertarianism is a thing over in Russia, who knew? Kind of. Kind of. Not the way we would understand it, but on some things, kind of. Gun rights. Yeah.

Religious liberty. That's what she was a spokesman for. And she would attend conferences, all that. That brought her over here to the states. And she wanted to reach out to libertarian-minded people. on the issues that she believed in so that she could like make a link up between the people in Russia

and people over here to say, hey look, we're not all like crazies like Putin. You know, we can find some common ground. We have some things in common. So she reaches out to Patrick Byrne in 2015 and they got into a little relationship. Now Patrick, he has a security clearance for some work he did with the council inform relations.

And he was like, hey, there's this Russian, you know, chick reaching out to me. She's wanting me to go to Russia and meet up with some Russian officials. This freaks me out. So he tells the FBI. Now, think of this. I want you to know.

This is, I like Patrick. I trust Patrick. This is the kind of guy he is. He's approached by somebody and she's approaching him in a way romantically, isn't she? A little fortacious. Yeah. Okay. And he just is like, well, I don't know.

She's from Russia. She's, I'm going to check. He values his security clearance. And so he calls the FBI to say, look, do you have anything on her? She is talking to me. She seems to be interested in me. And she wants me to go over to Russia. And they say what?

They say, go right ahead. No issues here whatsoever. They say, quote, this is a direct quote, she's been looked into. And she is, quote, fine. So go off and do whatever you want. Your security clearances is not in jeopardy. No big deal.

No harm, no foul. So he does. So he continues. And the relationship got intimate. right from the get-go. And he was still a straight shooter about it. He was still leery of her. He continued to report to the FBI,

even though they told him not to. And he especially started reporting when she started making comments like, you know, I really want to get in, you know, close relationships with certain candidates. Marco Rubio was mentioned. Hillary Clinton was also mentioned. Basically, anyone that they thought might have power

in the next few years, she was trying to get some kind of relationship with. So she can speak to them. And so he is having a relationship, but he's, you know, I think like any, any decent human being that's an American citizen is like, okay, I'm not sure. I mean, it seems weird, but it seems okay as well. Are you sure? So he calls the FBI several times. Yes.

And says, she's saying these things to me. Are you sure she's okay? And not only that, she's telling me she's meeting with, this is just an example. a aide for Hillary Clinton on this day at this place, at this time. Are you guys interested in that? Nothing. FBI was not interested. Yeah, yeah, but she's meeting with this person who's the head of this person at this time,

at this hotel. They didn't care. They did not care. So he was like, whatever. So he continued his relationship. Eventually, it dies down. We're getting close to the actual presidential election now. I didn't really say how close, but I'm assuming within months of the actual election.

Then the FBI calls him. He's not in a relationship with her anymore. He hardly talks to her. FBI contacts him and says, now we want you to re-up that relationship. You know, remember that girl? Yeah, yeah. Go ahead and rekindle that relationship

and do what you were doing before. Let us know what she was doing. So he's a straight shooter. He's absolutely, I'll do it. So he does it, helps the FBI. But this time he says, guys, I know that I'm not telling you anything you all already know,

but she's not a spy. She's not the next coming of Anna Chapman. She is just, literally what she says. Now I know all the people she's talking to. This is what she is. So this is because he got to know her. Got to know her.

Because they said get to know her. Yeah. It's fine. There's nothing wrong. So he did. And because he still had the questions in his head, he's doing his own research with her and he's meeting the people she's saying over in Russia. And he's smart enough to figure out,

is this a spy situation? Is this an infiltration of America? he knows it's not. So when they call him back, he now is at a place who he's like, no, I've, I had the relationship. She's not a spy. Yeah. Right? Exactly.

Okay. But the feds wanted to paint her as one anyway. So they, for reasons we can get to in a minute, they paint her as a actual like clandestine, like honeypot spy. That's what they paint her as. They want to charge her with espionage. And then I'm, I don't want to put words or thoughts into his mind or mouth. But I mean, he's got to be thinking, what are you doing? This is, I gave you exculpatory evidence, witness testimony.

This is not what she's all about. And I've been a straight shooter here. You know, he's been. And for some reason, you didn't have a problem when she was meeting with Hillary Clinton. But now, for some reason, you're very interested in her when she's involved with the NRA and she's involved with Donald Trump. And that's where the media frenzy hit. They showed pictures of her at the National Prayer Breakfast. at the NRA convention.

They picked it up, ran with it. Now, this exculpatory evidence that he gave them never made it to court. It never made it. And Boutina's lawyers are furious. They just recently a few weeks ago sent a letter saying, what the heck is going on? How could we requested, by law, you have to put this in the exculpatory evidence into the record.

They never did. That is just missing. It was never there. Now, he said something interesting in this one interview that he gave. I think it was to Sarah Carter. And he said, Bob Barr is a submarine. And he's headed for the deep state ship right now.

And he's the only guy that is going to do anything about it. And right now he's headed for a collision course and he's going to hit that ship and sink the deep state ship. He says, Bob Barr is. is our greatest hope on this because of what he says the FBI is doing apparently now. We'll get into that in just a second. And more on this tonight, you don't want to miss it.

You know, there used to be a time when it was perfectly normal to walk into a place of business and bring what you wanted to purchase to the counter and then plunk down a piece of gold as a method of payment. That doesn't really happen anymore. But the good news is it still can. Gold is legal tender.

It still can. You just have to not look at the face value because it says $20. That coin's not worth $20 anymore. It was. And if our dollar was still slave to gold, it still would be $20. But because we have inflated our money, that's not worth $20 anymore. In other words, gold is worth the same thing. Your dollar isn't worth as much.

What used, your dollar used to be $20 in gold. Now it's thousands of dollars for that ounce. Gold is really important when things go crazy. And gold prices are a bull run right now.

So what do we think that, what do we think that Bob Barr is doing with this information? And is Patrick coming out? Patrick wrote to me this morning and he said, you know, I can't talk about it anymore than I already have. but I will call you as soon as I have something like more to say or something like that, which is interesting to me.

I wonder if Patrick is working with the FBI or leaking some of the self stuff out to get the FBI to move. That would be my guess. Mine too. And it's interesting that he didn't comment further. So I'm wondering if someone, he was made to stop commenting. Pure speculation. But it's interesting to come out. You can't be made to stop talking, can you?

I mean, I guess they could. They could ask you, but they can't make you stop talking. I don't know what he signed when he agreed to work with him. I don't even know how that works. I don't either. But I think it sounded very voluntary, his involvement. I think that we should, if this sounds very credible. This sounds very credible.

It's been verified on a few levels, some. unnamed sources and the DOJ and FBI have not denied this. They have just said, I know Patrick, he's not a guy he will, he's not a guy to make this up. He has nothing to gain and everything to lose. So as this sounds so credible

and to go back to your question about what is Barr doing, he also said he was involved with the Clinton investigation. I don't know how that even happened. But if he was involved with the Russia probe and the Clinton investigation, well, we do know that the DOJ, Bar is, well, it sounds like they're looking into the Uranium One and the Clinton Foundation

scandals, how all that went, you know, connected with each other. We know last year, do you remember that informant that the FBI had that basically brain cancer? Yep, the died of brain cancer. He said a few months ago, I can think it was March of last year, he was tired of being, you know, thrown under the bus by Democrats. And they said, look, this is ridiculous that you guys are throwing into the bus. He was a Democrat. Was he? I think you I think he was. He was furious. He was irate because it was like I gave up a ton of my life to this investigation.

Now I'm in hiding. I think they leaked his name. He was even more furious about that because he wanted to be completely anonymous. But what he did leak was he said, well, the FBI has actually come back to me. They've come back to me. They've asked me more questions. And they focused specifically on the Clinton Foundation payments that were received by Russians during that entire scandal. And what the Clintons did, or what, I'm sorry, what the, what the Congress did is they called him and then they made fun of him and said, well, you don't remember because you got a brain tumor.

Right. Right. And he was furious about that. How dare you? You are the people that we trusted with the ADA thing. Yeah. You're the ones who say you look after the most vulnerable. I have a brain tumor medical condition and it's, it's not causing me to forget stuff and you're accusing me of this.

Right. He had every reason to be upset. So we pray for the good guys in our justice department. And if that's Bob Barr, who I think it is. Do you think Bob Barr is a good guy? Yeah, I think so. I've reason. Whoever is trying to clean things up and set the record straight on all of this stuff, we pray for you and we salute you for your duty and your service to your nation. back in a minute.

Glembaq.com, The Blaze. And I think we should offer him combat pay for this, but we sent him out to Iowa. And you were with the candidates over the weekend. How many times did you see these guys? So we saw 11 candidates over the course of, Four days. Saw all the front runners four times.

Saw Kamala Harris five times. Oh, my God. Yeah. And a ton of different settings. So they're there for the Iowa State Fair, but they're moving around quite a bit. And I think I went with my dad. Oh, wow.

You met my dad. You met my dad. Very Irish. And so it was kind of, he was sort of taking in the whole scene in this way of puzzlement, really. so we're looking forward to your reports that are going to be on glenbeck.com he's got a lot of behind-the-scenes stories but you were there when biden said hey poor kids are just as good as white kids that's right yeah um just as town i forget what his wording but it was a very sloppy either

or and um yeah that's one way of putting it yeah uh he he was from the moment he walked in the room he was pretty sleepy, like he seemed sleepy, like he was tired. And he saw multiple times. Was that recurring situation with him, or was it just that one speech? Just that one speech. Yeah. So here he is, here's what he said in that speech. And the other thing we should do is you should challenge these students.

We should challenge students in these schools to have advanced placement programs in these schools. We have this notion that somehow if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talent as white. kids. Wealthy kids. I love the one person who clapsed. It wasn't you, was it?

Oh, God. Yeah. Because there's that one person's like, yeah. That's right. Four kids aren't white kids. Woo! And the audience in general was receptive of it.

How many people were in the room? It was a small room. It was actually at a plumbers union that the event was held. I'd say there were about 140 people there. All with plumbers crack. It's, yeah. All right. For sure.

Okay. Including the media. Wait, 140 people. What's the breakdown between actual people and media, just they're covering it? There were probably 60, 60 media there. 60 media out of 140 people at the event. Wow. That's incredible.

And that story was not everywhere. I mean, that was picked up by the Blaze, I know. I think Fox News might have picked it up. But it wasn't widely reported that he messed up like that. Not at all. I think if someone from Fox News hadn't been there, it would not have gotten reported at all. because it sort of slowly trickled into a story. Where it would have been a firestorm?

They would have been reporting live. Yeah. It was Donald Trump. They would have gone live with that. For sure. We're joining him already in progress where he just said this. That's what they would have done. But they didn't do it here.

So you said the crowd didn't have a problem with that. No. And he adjusted to it pretty quickly. Yeah. Yes. He realized he did it. He realized he did it. He was very.

very aware of what he just said. What was your, give me, because you got to see 11 candidates. There's 25, 26 in the field now. So almost half the candidates in four days, so many of the multiple times. We get this impression

when we're watching, you know, a debate of what these candidates are like. What are they like in the room? Who works the room really well? Kamal Harris. That's the one I walked away with the most. Saw her five times. And part because she just like,

The grateful dead. She hustles? Yeah. He's like the grateful dead. I don't like it. Oh, Ron. This is my fifth time seeing you. Right.

Woo! After seeing these candidates as many times you become the grateful to be dead. Yeah. If you can just pull it down. You're begging for it. So she's the most, would you say she just knows how to work a room or she's the most authentic? Definitely not the most authentic.

The opposite almost. Like she knows how to read a room so well. She knows what to say. She also hustles. so much and she needs that job. She has that fire in her eyes. Biden's like, yeah, I'll probably get this. You know, he's...

Boy, that's what happened to Clinton. Exactly. Clinton lost. That's interesting. Remember Clinton in 08 had the same attitude that she was just going to stroll in. It was her turn and Obama took it from her. Yeah, that's interesting.

So Kamala works the room well. Biden, a little tired occasionally, but also... he seem fully there? Did you see he seems like, and I've never felt this way about him until the last maybe year or so, where he seems like he's kind of slipping a bit. He has the gravitas that you expect from a president. And you don't really see it in many people, you know, that it's that suction energy.

Yeah. As soon as he walks in the room, everybody moves toward him. Kamala Harris has it even more so. She knows I was We were seeing Yang at a winery One time

But you might want to rephrase that That didn't it? Yeah, that's awesome I was in a winery And we were showing Wang Investigative journalism Were you just drinking?

Is that what was happening? Okay, so you saw Yang He said Andrew Yang at a winery And Kamala Harris had just spoken and she waited until he started speaking. She was sitting in the front row, and right after he began talking, she got up and walked out of the room,

and half of the media went with her, and half of the room went with her. Like it was a definite... She's cold as ice, man. Kamala Harris would, I mean, she's surgical. Yeah, she is... Yeah, she'll slit your throat. She does not care.

And you saw that with Biden, right? I mean, you know, that was on the debate stage. I mean, that's an amazing move, right? Like you're walking out in the middle of the guy's speech. There's a decorum. You don't do that, right? No. Kamala doesn't care.

And she stayed outside of the building, too. She kept walking around there to see these huge glass windows. She's doing this to Andrew Yang. Imagine what she's going to do to Biden. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. So how was Bernie? Bernie was interesting.

The first time I saw Bernie was at a Mexican disco. A Mexican disco. Yeah, it was this little room with a tiny bar. And we'd been there two nights before to see Castro. And when we saw Castro, there was actually a bouncy castle inside. That's such a weird way to elect a leader. It was very strange. And it was like, but I didn't see, I mean, Bernie was captivating.

People were drawn to him. and he was really the only one I saw who drew protesters. So like at the Iowa State Fair, there were a lot of people with, you know, Trump signs and a lot of MAGA hats. Really? Yes.

And there was like a small, there were a lot of people there, but I'd say this. Misplaced energy, I think. Yeah, Bernie's, he's sinking himself. He doesn't need any help. He's singing himself.

And you kind of want him to be the candidate against Donald Trump. He'd be the easiest to beat. You think so? I do. Bernie? I don't know. I don't know. I mean, you put him up.

I don't see how anyone could elect him. But I mean, Elizabeth Warren is really custom made for Trump. I feel like that. How did she do? She did very well. She did better than Biden did, surprisingly. Well, the new poll shows her down from Biden one point. She really surprised me.

My dad's reaction to Elizabeth Warren, and he hadn't been really keeping up with the candidates at all. He just knew her name. But we walked into it was a fun. fundraiser that we walked into. So a very friendly crowd, packed room. It was actually the ballroom where Buddy Holly played his last show. Oh, wow. So my dad turned to me and he was like, what's wrong with this lady?

I don't like her at all. She does not come out as likable. She's not. There's a lot of similarities to Hillary. I mean, that's why I'm so surprised Democrats are running in this direction. There's so many similarities. Well, they want a woman and then the Marxist want a Marxist. But I mean, you have Kamala Harris, right, who's a much better package for a candidate than

Mortis, who's a little bit more sensible on certain things like Israel and... Right. I think she is seen as the Clintons. You know, what did you really get with Bill Clinton? You got a guy who stood up and said the era big government is over and actually moved in that direction. So they kind of... The real, the ideologues on the left, they don't like the political, the typical democratic politician. And while Kamala Harris is not that person, she's closer to it.

She's closer to it than Bernie or Warren. Right. Where Warren, you have no doubt. Warren's going to get in and she's going to do these things. Or she's going to try. As you pointed out last night. She's Woodrow Wilson. She'll get it done if she can. And that's what they, I think that's what they want.

anybody else surprised you any other interesting lower tier candidates you saw Yang was interesting at the same event I just mentioned Jay Inslee was there and there was a moment where they kind of blended in with the crowd after

and they were talking everybody Kamala Harris went through with like a huge entourage of media and people wanting selfies and Jay Inslee was there and I turned like that And he was offering selfies Exactly that's exactly what it was I said hey dad

will you take a picture of him? And he's like, which one? He didn't know. I didn't even know who the candidate was. Jamesley had none of that energy, none of that suction energy. So it's like, and Yang was interesting because he was just hanging out. He hung him. He actually seems like a normal guy.

I actually kind of like him. Yeah. Definitely. Yeah. Like, where he seems like the guy you could hang with and have a conversation with. And I've never heard him like use the typical democratic messaging of that side is racist. Those people don't like these. policies because they want to hurt poor people.

He doesn't talk like that. He disagrees with conservatives, but I've never seen him be anything other than respectful to them. Who do you think was the most authentic? Probably Yang. Yeah. Bennett was interesting too, but I think Yang was the most interesting. And I think Bernie was authentic in that he believes what he's saying.

Yes. And I admire that. But he's a lot of things that aren't true. He's authentic, but he lies a lot, which is weird. It's a weird combination. I think it's actually his combination, though. He's an authentic liar because he says a lot of things that just flat out are not true about the policies. But he authentically believes that I think they're better for America and that he really, he's a true believer in socialism.

He's not one of these people who's, you know, I think there's an element of Harris, and this might be what you're talking about. There's an element of Harris that is embracing these far-left policies because she thinks it's, the way to win the primary. That's not, that's not Warren or Sanders. And Warren and Sanders are believers, true believers, along with, you know, a few of the other, you know, lower tier candidates. But those two are like, hey man, they're second and third in the field. And they are legit, true believer socialists. And that is a, that's a dramatic thing for this country. Because one of them, they've already talked about having an alliance on the debate stage, like, let's not attack each other until it gets further down the road.

You know, one of them drops out. The other one is the front runner. Yeah. Do you think the Bernie people will go to Warren? I'm not sure who they'll go to. They could just as easily go to Trump, you know? The Bernie thing is weird like with that because he, there's a lot of Bernie energy that it's Bernie exclusive.

Yeah. There's a lot of cult of personality with Bernie. And I think some of those people who voted for Bernie in the primary dropped out and didn't vote for anybody in the general. Some of them did vote for Trump. Yeah, and some of them did vote for Trump. Thank you so much. Absolutely. Appreciate it.

Good to join you guys. Kevin Ryan. Will you look for his work at glenbeck.com? More in just a second. First, let me tell you about Tukovas boots. Somewhere in America within the sound of my voice is a man who served his country for several years. He was a paratrooper. When he was, he wore heavy black rubber-pressurized boots that came with the trade.

Looking back, he can sometimes still feel them, cushioning his feet as he landed on the ground, protecting them from the elements as he made his way through a manner of rough terrain. The days of death-difying stunts are fading into the distance behind him, and these days the boots on his feet look a lot different, but they still protect. these, however, also look really sharp. They're Tocovus boots, still comfortable, and they had the added element of style that he finds a little more, you know, telegraphing to the world of the kind of man he is, and the man he has become. Tocovus boots, they're all made by hand by the best bootmakers, and they come in the exotic forms of leather,

every kind, and they're about half the price of a similar quality boot. They have an easy and accurate process with free shipping and free returns. I wear the boots. You should try the boots. They're boots with character. Find your pair now at tecovis.com slash back. That's tec-o-v-a-s dot com slashback. It's tocovus.com.

Welcome to the Glennbeck program tonight, an expose that I think you need to hear about the Clinton investigation, the Trump-Rubes. Russia investigation, the FBI. Something is not right, and we have additional information that you're not hearing on mainstream media, and we will cover it tonight at 5 o'clock only on Blaze TV. You don't want to miss it. What have we not covered today, or what do we need to cover again? Tomorrow, I want to talk to you again about Hong Kong tomorrow. As I've been watching these images, I've got all the televisions in front of me,

And as I've been watching them today as we've been doing the show, I am reminded of Martin Luther King, Gandhi. It's the same thing. And they're doing the same thing he was doing. Go ahead. Let them beat us. Let them beat us with their clubs, their billy clubs. Let them sick the dogs on us.

Because the West will wake up. Good people will wake up and say, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. It worked for Gandhi. It worked for Martin Luther King. I'm not sure it's going to work this time. I'm not sure it's going to work this time. You've lost all faith in humanity too. Ah, yeah, me too.

I just know, I think we've painted ourselves into a corner where we're just weak. We're just very weak. China is strong, you know, and we're playing a game of chicken. And look at, we had one bank. We had Bank of America come out yesterday and say we now have a one, in three chance of a recession in the next year, which may not even manifest itself in a way that you recognize for two years. And our stock market is down 600 points.

I mean, that's how fragile this is. Yesterday, we were up 400 points because of the trade deal with China. Today, down 600 points. What is, I'm not sure anybody really knows how stable this situation is. is the Glymbeck program.
