Starting point is 00:00:00 Rough Greens is our sponsor. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but I mean, maybe, maybe sometimes you can make him healthier and happier. And that's what happened when my dog, Uno, when I started feeding him. We're not feeding him, but putting rough greens on top of his food. We got him started eating rough greens, and he used to be the pickiest eater in the world. We took the same food, and we put rough greens on top of it, and he eats like crazy now. Rough greens change the game. Now he's starting to slow down, but he is not slowing down as fast as our other German shepherds,

Starting point is 00:03:26 patriot supply.com. Oh, man, I am so concerned about the government shutdown and Pat is here to share my panic. Oh, man, I'm scared. I'm scared. What are we going to do? I don't know. Same thing we always do. Only it'd be better because they're spending less of our money.
Starting point is 00:03:46 But can they? Can they spend less of our money? Well, they have to if the government shuts down. Wow. Which is the beauty of a government shutdown. They have to do all the necessary things like pay out the Social Security benefits and the veterans benefits and all of that. They have to continue to do that and they do. Including the interest.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Right. You notice that they're not talking about defaulting on the debt this time. That's weird. That's weird because that is weird. Isn't it? Yeah. That was their biggest concern. We're going to default on the debt.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Right. I haven't heard word one of defaulting on the dead. No, I haven't either. That's weird. Now they're just trying to say, do you know these Republicans? They want to have a government shutdown because they want to shut down the ATF. Well, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:34 At least we're honest about it. You know, all the things you want to do, you're like, oh, how dare you, we want to take guns away? We love guns. I was kissing mine last night. Oh, I clean the tongue. I clean the barrel. of my gun with my tongue. I love it so much. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:04:52 And while we're at it, maybe the FBI, too. Maybe that could go as well. Maybe that could go. I don't know. The IRS. That wouldn't be a bad thing. Department of Education. Yeah. Get rid of all the non-essential nonsense. Yeah. Kevin McCarthy says, we're not going to default. We have a number of days until funding runs out.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Do you know what we didn't have until 1980? Government shutdowns. We never had them. If, you know, if the budget wasn't done and it happened many times, you know, since 1776, and the budget wasn't done, they just went on. And no big deal, the budget will be finished soon. But now, after 1980, I wonder what changed. I wonder what changed because now we have to shut it down.
Starting point is 00:05:49 No, we really don't. We really don't. I mean, it's all funny money in the first place. Yep. You know? That's for sure. So the House Republicans are working hard today to get everybody on the same page. And that is, yeah, we should stop spending all of this money, you know?
Starting point is 00:06:11 And what do you say? We just start with a few things like, no. taxpayer shouldn't pay for abortions and send people on a vacation at our expense and then at the end of that vacation they have an abortion.
Starting point is 00:06:27 No. No. No, I don't think so. How do you feel about the money going to Ukraine though? You love this for small business loans and... Well, now hold on just a second. We're trying to help them win a war. Yes. Let me
Starting point is 00:06:44 let me give you a couple of clips from CBS. When's the last time 60 Minutes? Oh, man. Actually did something where you cared about. Well, they did this weekend. Listen to this from 60 minutes. Cut one. American taxpayers are financing more than just weapons.
Starting point is 00:07:03 We discovered the U.S. governments buying seeds and fertilizer for Ukrainian farmers. And covering the salaries of Ukraine's first responders. All 57,000 of them. That includes the team that trains this rescue dog, named Joy, to comb through the wreckage of Russian strikes looking for survivors. Hey, don't mind helping that one. And the US also funds the divers, who we saw clearing unexploded ammunition from the country's rivers,
Starting point is 00:07:34 to make them safe again for swimming and fishing. Russia's invasion shrank Ukraine's economy by about a third, We were surprised to find that to keep it afloat, the U.S. government is subsidizing small businesses. Wait, what? Hold it. Okay, now the dog thing, okay, if we can help out on the dog thing, fine. And it seems to be, it's connected to the war. Yeah, and, you know, the finding the unexploded bombs in the rivers, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:08:06 But wait a minute, wait a minute, paying 56,000 firefighters to show up, you know we're also paying the government salaries and we're paying the people's social security. Okay. We're not even paying it here. And every dollar that we print to send over there is causing inflation here. So while our, while we are getting poorer and poorer, it's almost like it was designed to be this way. While we are getting poorer and poorer, they're getting bailed out by our government. and every time we send a dollar over there, you get poorer.
Starting point is 00:08:47 And it's not because it's taking money. It's because we're printing money. Inflation. So now we find out that they're also, they're not helping small businesses here. No, no, no, no. When we had COVID, no, Home Depot. Sure, Home Depot.
Starting point is 00:09:04 I mean, they're safe. But the Ma and Pop stores, they're completely unsafe. Huh. And now we're paying. But wait, there's more. Cut two. Russia's invasion shrank Ukraine's economy by about a third. We were surprised to find that to keep it afloat,
Starting point is 00:09:25 the U.S. government is subsidizing small businesses. Like Tatiana Abramovar's knitwear company. Oh. These are Ukrainian town. That's Kiev, I recognize. Oh, that is very nice. Especially in the condition of war, we have to walk. We have to pay taxes.
Starting point is 00:09:43 We have to pay wages. We have to pay wage salary to our employees. We have to work. Don't stop. Why does that help Ukraine win the war? Because economy is the foundation of everything. We realize that it's the aids from governments, but it's the aids from their heart of every ordinary American person.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Okay. So wait. Hang on just a second. I'm not sure that all that is from the heart of every American because we didn't know it. If they would have asked us to help out, we would have been great. We are the most charitable nation in the history of the world. And we would, we do.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Yes, we do. Charitably. Correct. More than the rest of the world combined. Correct. But instead, they went through our government. And our government didn't tell us what they're doing. and they are doing things that are causing us pain and not just pain.
Starting point is 00:10:45 What's happening here is we are destroying ourselves. We're giving them all of our tanks and ammunition that we are now dangerously low, dangerously low. We don't have enough howitzer shells now to do any kind of war. And we can only make 25,000 of those. a month. Russia's using 60,000 a day. A day. So
Starting point is 00:11:16 I don't know. I don't feel comfortable with this. We've also destroyed our own oil supply. Our strategic oil reserve, almost gone. We're destroying our ability to make oil, to find oil,
Starting point is 00:11:34 to refine it into gasoline. And yet, we're sent and stuff over there. We're letting everybody have whatever they want over there, including fertilizer, which our farmers are being told we can't use anymore because of global warming. Huh. Now that's weird. How come it's okay for Ukraine, but not for us?
Starting point is 00:11:59 You haven't even passed a farm bill over here to help our farmers. But we're buying their grain over there, which, by the way, Because they're getting free grain, they're planting crops, they can now sell it at such a low cost that Poland has said, you're killing our farmers. We can't support you anymore, Ukraine. See what happens when man starts to get involved in ways that he shouldn't get involved? See what happens? All of the unexpected consequences that come from this? Or maybe they are expected.
Starting point is 00:12:39 So now the Biden administration is requesting over $20 billion more. We wondered how they were paying for it. We wondered where it was going. Well, there are some things that you should probably know. There is some questioning of some of the people that were in the administration over there. and part of the group that was getting the money and divvying it out, I think about 60 of them now are actually being investigated, are going to jail or have lost their jobs because they were corrupt
Starting point is 00:13:26 and taking and using our money for other things. I just didn't know we were paying for everything over there, things that we wouldn't pay for us over here. Didn't know that. Just nobody did. Didn't know that. Except the administration. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Until Sunday with 60 minutes. Yeah. And USAID, which is now run by Cass Sunstein's wife. Remember her? She's in charge of USAID and that's where all of this money is coming from and being distributed through. Now, one last thing. You know, that lady at least sounded grateful. I want you to listen to the Ukrainians
Starting point is 00:14:09 tell us how they really feel about our money, your money. Listen. The country's fighting for its survival, bankrolled in large part by US taxpayers. The outcome may be decided by America's willingness to keep pain. Some Americans say we're very sympathetic
Starting point is 00:14:36 to you Ukrainians, but we're going through tough times at home, and we just can't afford to keep on supporting you. Ukrainians pay their lives. Ukrainians pay with their lives. And I believe, and I hope that their lives cost much more than money. That their lives count much more than money. Taxpayers money. Their lives count much more than taxpayers money.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Wow. Yeah, it does. It does. Although nobody asked us. Now this is what Joe Biden is talking about when he calls for a, when he's saying it's going to be a government shutdown. You don't have to shut it down. Just agree to not send any more money over to Congress and then propose exactly what you want and exactly where it's going. Go through the proper channels for it.
Starting point is 00:15:34 But you don't want to do that. that because you know, I mean, I find it amazing that CBS in 60 minutes ran this right at the beginning of the budget stuff. Yeah. Incredible. That says something. Yeah, it does. It says even they are getting fed up now with the shenanigans of this administration. Hopefully.
Starting point is 00:16:00 I hope so. And I think, you know, we talked about this a little bit yesterday. but I think even the liberals in the media are disgusted with this president. And they see the fact, and even if they're not disgusted, they understand he's a problem. And he might not win because people are seeing how compromised he is mentally and physically. And so this might be part of encouraging him to exit. By the way, we now have photos of the ambassador, the American ambassador, ambassador that
Starting point is 00:16:36 was over in Ukraine, meeting twice with the Burisma official after being told the firm was corrupt. So we were told that they didn't know anything. It's impossible to not know that Burisma and the head of Burisma was a total oligarch that literally beheads the people that are in his way. And our American ambassador was told, as was Joe Biden. Don't meet with these guys.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Don't. They're really, really bad. But the Burisma official who worked closely with Hunter Biden was invited to two separate events by the U.S. ambassador. For what reason? For what reason? After she was told, have no contact with this person. What was going on? What is still going on?
Starting point is 00:17:37 Why are we bankrupting America? This isn't America 1960, 1960, 1940. We have lost our manufacturing base. We are now in the midst of losing our cheap energy, and we have lost our cheap labor. So what made America, America in the 1940s, 50s and 60s was we had cheap labor, We had abundant, cheap energy. We had all of our natural resources. And nobody else had anything.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Well, now we don't have those things because they've been taken off the table. And now when we do a Marshall Plan, by the way, in inflation adjusted numbers, we are only about $50 billion away. And Joe Biden wants another $20 billion today. we're about $50 billion away from the cost of the entire Marshall Plan which rebuilt Europe Wow where is all that money
Starting point is 00:18:46 Where is all that money And what do you want to bet we're past that number already? Oh I think in reality In reality we don't have any idea how much There has been sent So when they say well we're gonna do we got some extremists that want to shut the government down I don't think it's extremist. I really don't.
Starting point is 00:19:06 With all of the corruption, which we'll get into here in a second, all of the corruption that seems to be everywhere now, everywhere, all of these deals being made with foreign countries by our senators and our house members. On top of that, the incredible spending, I think it would be a good idea to shut it down. Time to give pain a taste of its own medicine. I used to suffer from a frequent, almost depilitating pain. And if you can relate to that, I have something to share with you.
Starting point is 00:19:40 You need to swing for the fences. I lived with it far too long before reaching out for something else that might help. I had given up because I had thought I had tried everything. And then when I heard about Relief Factor, I'm like, I've been to the Mayo Clinic, a clinic, I've been to Columbia Hospital. I've been to all the best places they couldn't do anything. Really, this is going to work? I really didn't think it would work.
Starting point is 00:20:04 It gave me my life back. It gave me my hands back. My hands would go into such pain and almost seizure-like that I couldn't use my hands. And every time I'd try, it would set something off and it would be horrible. I'm learning to play the piano now. That's because of Relief Factor. Try Relief Factor.com or call 8004 relief. 800 for relief.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Get to 1995, three-week quick start. Just try it. In three weeks, you'll either know it works or it doesn't. And if it doesn't work for you, then stop taking it. But if it does, you get your life back. 800, the number four relief. Relieffactor.com. Feel the difference.
Starting point is 00:20:48 10 seconds. Station ID. So we have Adam Schiff now sending money earmarks to all of his contributors, making sure that he did their work for them. Yon, nobody seems to care. We have Menendez taking gold bricks. Gold bricks, apparently from Egypt. Yon, nothing to see here.
Starting point is 00:21:28 We have, of course, the scandal with the president. We now have the IRS involved in the scandal in the cover-up, but the IRS never probed Zuckerberg's 2020 election tampering either. This was supposed to be a one-time thing, but it's not. Apparently, he's going back, even after people were filing against it and saying, you've got to check this out. They haven't done a darn thing. Why? Because it helps. It helps the left. the corruption in our government is overwhelming and we have to decide we're either going to clean it up
Starting point is 00:22:18 or we're not and it begins with being strong on the budget giving the purse strings of our budget back to where they constitutionally belong in the hands of the house it has to be done call your senator call your representative. Tell them, we're not afraid of a shutdown.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Get the purse strings back. The Glenn Beck Program. Let me tell you about a young woman named Leisha, who found herself in an unplanned pregnancy. She didn't know what to do. She searched for pregnancy services, and thank God she happened upon a pre-born network clinic. She was counseled.
Starting point is 00:23:02 She was supported. She was offered a free ultrasound. And after seeing her baby and hearing the heartbeat, she cried and cried and cried and decided to keep her child. Soon after, she gave birth to a baby girl who's smart and beautiful and full of life. Now, Leisha visits the same clinic, receiving free clothes, diapers, and so much more. That is the power of preborn and the power of you, not only saving the life of the baby, but saving the life of the mom. Because of your generous support, Preborn writes 200 stories like this every day.
Starting point is 00:23:36 $28 can be the difference between life and death of a child and when a mother meets her baby on ultrasound and hears their heartbeat.

Starting point is 00:24:18 Pat, can you help me out? How does an investigation usually work with the police? Do they watch TV and hear claims and then they go and investigate? Oh my gosh, you must be a police insider. That's exactly how it works. Right. Yeah. I'm not wrong, right?
Starting point is 00:24:40 You don't ever do that. No. I don't think so. Okay. British police have opened a sex crimes investigation triggered by news reports about Russell Brand. Oh my gosh. Now. It's not something.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Yeah. London Metro. This is so clear that they hate his guts because of the things he's been saying lately. No. Two things could be true. Yeah. Oh, yes. He could absolutely be this guy.
Starting point is 00:25:11 He could. Right. He could. But my guess is, if this was 10 years ago or 15 years ago with him, he wouldn't have this problem at all. No. They wouldn't be coming after him. At the time, he did it on the BBC. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:28 London's Metropolitan Police Force said Monday that it had received a number of allegations of sexual offenses after a television documentary and newspaper investigations. But there have been no arrest. Brand, Brand, Russell Brand, denies allegations. of sexual assault made by four women in a Channel 4 television documentary and the Times and Sunday Times newspapers. The accusers who have not been named include one who said she was sexually assaulted during a relationship with him when she was 16. Another woman says Bran raped her in Los Angeles in 2012. Last week, a woman accused Brand of exposing himself to her in 2008. The woman told CBS News Partner Network BBC News
Starting point is 00:26:12 that she was working in the same building where the BBC's Los Angeles office was and when the incident occurred, Brand went on the air to laugh about it moments later on his radio show. Well, we should be able to find that. The police force did not name Brand in its statement but referred to recent articles in a documentary. It said its detectives were investigating allegations
Starting point is 00:26:36 of non-recent sexual offenses, both in London and elsewhere. We continue to encourage anyone who believes they may have been a victim of sexual offense, no matter how long ago it was, to contact us. We need to understand it can feel like a difficult step to take, and I want to reassure that we have a team of specialist officers available to advise and support. This comes from their detective superintendent. Brand has denied the allegations, saying his relationships of, always been consensual, even though he was in an admitted period of being very, very promiscuous.
Starting point is 00:27:12 That's a quote from him. Known for his unbridled and risque stand-up routines, Brand was a major UK star in the early 2000. He hosted shows on radio and television, wrote memoirs, charting his battles with drug and alcohol, appeared in several Hollywood movies and was briefly married to Katie Perry between 2010 and 2012. Brand has largely disappeared from the mainstream media, but has built up a large following online with videos mixing wellness and conspiracy theories. Last week, YouTube said it would stop Brand from making money from the streaming site, where he has 6.6 million subscribers due to the serious allegations against him.
Starting point is 00:27:57 In an exclusive interview with CBS Mornings, the YouTube CEO said, They decided to suspend monetization of brands channel because of YouTube's creator responsibility guidelines policy. Quote, if creators have off-platform behavior or there's an off-platform news that could be damaging to the broader creator ecosystem, you can be suspended from your monetization program. CBS Morning's co-host, Tony, whatever, said. it has impacted a large number of creators and personalities on the platform in the past. YouTube went on to say that's what played out in this particular case around the serious allegations. So they have, by the way, he's been dropped by his talent agency.
Starting point is 00:28:51 He has been dropped for live performances and his publisher has also dropped him. So this guy has nothing. He has nothing. And he hasn't been charged with a crime. And that happened so quickly. Everybody got on board right away. And if you didn't get on board, the BBC is coming knocking at your door asking you why.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Hey, are you about to demonetize him? They were trying to get Rumble to demonetize him. Yeah, I know. Rumble said, no. We're not going to do that. The parliament, parliament told Twitter to demonetize and to shut him down.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Parliament did. I've never heard of that before. So there's something very, very wrong here. And two things could be true. He might have done these things. So don't wash your hands of that. Let's make sure that we know what happened. But the other thing that is true,
Starting point is 00:30:00 this has never happened before. I've never seen, I mean, you know, you had Menendez just a few minutes ago saying, well, you know, it charges, you're innocent until proven guilty. And I demand, well, what about Russell Brand? What about Russell Brand? The story that is related to this
Starting point is 00:30:21 is a story about Chandler Jones. Do you know anything about Chandler Jones? Very little. So he is claimed now, because he set off a tweet where he said the owner of the Raiders and the head coach or the GM, he can't work for anymore because the, I think it was the owner had information
Starting point is 00:30:48 and was protecting a man that molested his goddaughter. Okay. And then nobody's really talking about that. Nobody's really focused on this story, and I don't know what this story was really all about. Listen to this. NFL star Chandler Jones has claimed he was taken against his will to a mental health hospital by the Las Vegas fire department last week. In an alarming social media post on Monday night, Jones said he had been injected against his will and forced to sleep on the floor. It comes a week after Jones went on a disturbing social.
Starting point is 00:31:29 media rant accusing Raiders owner Mark Davis of protecting the identity of a man he claims molested his goddaughter. Jones, who is the younger brother of USC champion John later said that he had been hacked. In a post on X captioned First Day Out, but I'm still a line. Jones wrote first day out if my fans and friends were wondering, I was taken by the Las Vegas Fire Department last week against my will. I was injected with, I don't know what. They say that it was a court hold and the Las Vegas police put me on it. I hadn't done anything wrong. The police said people were concerned about me because of my posts online. I answered, yeah, I know. I answered my front door and a group of five to seven were there to put me in an ambulance where I was later injected
Starting point is 00:32:20 and I asked them not to. I had no cell phone or no communication. I was taking a Southern Hills hospital and transferred to seven hills where they tried to force me to take meds and injections. The NFL and Raider Star Jones 33 added, I called Raiders GM six to seven times asking for help and wondered if he had put me in here, but he never answered. I even left him voicemails. I was just trying to figure out why I'm not allowed in the building and still why I don't have to continue to watch my brother suffer every Sunday, but no answer. This place is not a place for high-profile athletes.
Starting point is 00:33:01 My first night, I slept on the floor and was not offered a bed. My brothers had nothing to bring me, my brothers had to bring me decent meals to eat and clothes. My dad came to read to me Bible verses. Every day that I miss is $1 million, and I'm still confused on what I did wrong. I'm still here. I'm very sane.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Now, he goes on, this is disturbing. And again, I don't know what the truth is on this, but this isn't the first person that has been put into a mental institution. Now, he's put into a mental institution. He claims because of his online posts. This is the way Stalin used to do it. And maybe he is crazy. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:33:55 But listen to this story. The mistress of a Pennsylvania police officer spent three days in a mental hospital after he had her involuntarily committed when they broke up. Ronald Davis is now facing charges for abusing his power and authority to convince peers to issue a mental health evaluation and section his girlfriend. Davis is married with kids, according to the police records. he was having a relationship with the girl, also 37. They were together for four months until the romance soured. He then told her he would make her look crazy, and he did. Pennsylvania State Police confirmed Davis had been suspended without pay today.
Starting point is 00:34:40 He's also facing felony strangulation and false imprisonment charges. So I guess now we're going into a time where we're putting people in mental institutions that we either don't like or maybe are saying something. I mean, I don't know what's going on. I just know, have you seen these before? No. No, it's really chilling. I mean, with Russell Brand,
Starting point is 00:35:12 if you've done something, you need to pay the price for justice. You need to pay the price. If you are somebody who is living, life on the edge, you're not going to be safe. You're not. You have to do the right thing. Just do the next right thing. If you have something in your life, clean it up right now. Clean it up. You don't need anything in your life that you have to worry about. Just do the right thing. because they will find things that you're doing and take you out.
Starting point is 00:35:58 And if you're just and it's not true, I believe it will work itself out. But if you are dirty and corrupt and have done something, the best thing to do is just pay the price. Pay the price. Let God work it out. back to God. Stop whatever you're doing. Turn back to God. But we are living in times where things could get very, very dicey. They want to put you in jail with AI and with deep fakes.

Starting point is 00:43:44 cutting the woke federal spending from the budget. And everybody had a plan. Oh, and now we raise the debt ceiling. We got a plan. We're going to start working on it right now. And we're going to pass all. Nothing, none of that happened.
Starting point is 00:43:59 None of that happened. Why? Why didn't any of that happen? What is wrong with the GOP? Now House members who actually think like you and me are standing up and saying, no, we're not going to pass this woke budget anymore. We're not playing this game. We're not passing all of this money to,
Starting point is 00:44:19 Ukraine where we're now paying, we just found out, we're now paying for 57,000 firemen to continue their jobs, we're paying for their small businesses to remain open, we're paying their equivalent of social security, we're paying many of their politicians and many of their people in the government. Why? Why? Really? And how much is enough? All of that leads to inflation in your life. When will America come first with this administration? When? We're going to talk to a guy who has some answers for us.
Starting point is 00:45:04 His name is Russ Vote. Russell Vote is at the Center for Renewing America. He's the president of it. But he also was the director of the Office of Management and Budget, the OMB. That's the person whose job it is if there's a government shutdown to make things work. We're going to talk to him about the possibility of a shutdown. I personally say, good.
Starting point is 00:45:33 We'll talk to him in 60 seconds. Shooting guns is a lot of fun. But, you know, you try telling that to your California friends and now, how dare you say? But it's also a serious and important responsibility of being a gun owner. You need to be proficient with firearms. And that requires a lot of practice. It's a perishable skill.

Get yours now at mantisx.com. That's mantisx.com. Right. So vote. Welcome to the program, sir. How are you? I'm doing great. Thanks for having me, Glenn. So you were on, I think even a year ago. And we were talking about, you know, what they need to do. And the people in the house were talking, that's what we're going to do. And they never did any of it. And now here we are at the last hour again, trying to scramble and figure out what are we going to do.
Starting point is 00:47:19 so we don't have another CR. Exactly. I mean, this year started with so much promise and opportunity to have a real debate about woke and weaponized defunding of the bureaucracy. And Kevin McCarthy basically threw that out the window at the negotiating table when he decided he was going to be in coalition with Akeem Jeffries. And then he used as an excuse, he said, oh, we'll do it during the appropriations process. None of us believed it at the time, but that was his argument.
Starting point is 00:47:48 And now, lo and behold, by the way, he moved none of the, or one of the appropriations out of the many appropriations bills and intentionally created a pile up at the end of the fiscal year to jam conservatives. And now conservatives are saying, we're not doing that. We're going to insist on doing appropriations bills, and then we're going to insist on policy riders to defund the weaponized portions of the federal government under the banner of no security funding. would apply to border security, energy security, ensuring the rule of law, the Department of Justice. And that's going to be an important debate as we head towards this leverage point at the end of this week with regard to the lapse of the annual fiscal year. Could you explain for the average person that may not know what a CR is and not know
Starting point is 00:48:38 that how our Constitution says we're supposed to work as a country? In the jargon of budget speak, a continuing resolution basically says, we're just going to continue you at last year's funding level, and we may make a few changes on top of it. But it ends up being a very small bill because you're extending all of, in this case, Biden federal government spending, which is militant. It's not just big. It's aimed at us. So that's why it's so harmful. The way it's supposed to work is that you have an annual debate on the Department of Agriculture, the EPA, the Department of Defense, and we've gone out of the business of having that debate on the House floor. And what ends up happening is that it's all crafted behind closed doors.
Starting point is 00:49:35 And it's just they put them all together. You'll hear another word called the omnibus bill. That's bad too. They'll put it together. and then they'll attempt to just jam it through in the night of day, at the late at night and expect members to not have read it. And what these members are saying is, we're done. It's not, we're not doing that process anymore.
Starting point is 00:49:56 But it's more than just a process. It's about, to your point earlier, using this leverage point to actually save the country because this is the last leverage point that we have heading into next year because of some of the other decisions that Kevin McCarthy. has made. And what are those decisions that he's made? He extended the debt limit to the new administration. And so when you take essentially one of your few leverage points and push that passed into 2025, now you're left only with funding leverage. And in Congress, there are very few must pass bills. We call must pass bills that it forces the cartel to act. And the cartel has. And the cartel
Starting point is 00:50:42 hates these because they then have to stop governing behind closed doors at agencies where they legislate apart from the Constitution, apart from the Congress. They have to come to Congress and get these things passed. And we only have about two or three of them. This is one of the last impactful one to be able to defund the woke and weaponized bureaucracy. So tell me when this changed. It was 2008. and why did they do a continuing resolution in 2008? Yeah, I mean, this has been a problem that is growing for years. Each year is a little differently based on the interest of what's going on and play. Sometimes a continuing resolution is better than an omnibus, but still bad.
Starting point is 00:51:34 And so it's hard to say what was going on. But all of it is a natural progression of the cartel, year and year out to basically avoid the House floor, avoid debate amendments and doing real budgets, and to push it behind closed doors in that fashion and to make it so that it's very, very painful and stark. So we just found out from 60 minutes this last weekend that we are now paying for every firefighter in Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:52:07 You know, we're paying for their equivalent of Social Security, many of their agencies we're paying for, but we're also paying for their small businesses and bailing out all of their small businesses. All of that causes inflation to an incredible degree here in America. Who knew about this? Well, I think we've had suspicions about what has been, all of these taxpayer dollars been used in Ukraine. and we're now hearing more and more reporting of it.
Starting point is 00:52:41 But this is the fundamental problem when you are cutting these enormous checks for Ukraine and you're putting yourself in a position that the country will help escalate a war in Europe at the expense of our taxpayers and our consumers here in this country. And then you find out it's not just for weapons that are going to be hard for us to replace in our own stockpile, but it is for basically the funding of their own stockpile. but it is for basically the funding of their domestic economy. And it's totally outrageous. And it's one of the reasons why I think we're going to have a big fight this week
Starting point is 00:53:14 on whether Kevin McCarthy has to stick by his commitment to strip out all the Ukraine funding. I think that will be one of the points of drama that we look to this week. And I'm thankful that some of this reporting has come out because this is, you know, the country is increasingly outraged by our spigot with regard to funding Ukraine. And it puts them in a situation where it's not unlike the Fed, right? When the Fed has low interest rates for part too long, people make bad investment decisions and you have a bubble. This is like the foreign policy version of it. When we don't force them to make their own determinations by their own resources, they have an overextension of what they feel they can get away with.
Starting point is 00:54:00 And they don't make good decisions. And so it doesn't help them, and it certainly doesn't help us. So you put out seven points on the things that you think should transpire since they don't have the votes for a CR, right? So we know that they can't do continuing resolution. And that could open us up to a government shutdown. Do you have any idea of how solidified the Republicans are? on this, this showdown with the left? The House Conservatives are very solidified, and as a result, because of the slim majority,
Starting point is 00:54:45 we're going to have a shutdown. I'm convinced of it. There are certainly a huge portions of the majority, the House Republicans, that want to avoid that at all costs, and most of the Senate, the Senate will be criticizing anything that the House does that is at all righteous. And so I do think there'll be a shutdown. I do think that the House conservatives have the ability this time because McCarthy's political capital is so depleted from the previous debt deal that they will be able to force this fight. And the question will be at that point execution and being able to hold strong, hold the line and be able to really message to the American people what this debate is about. And really, I think it's about this, do they feel secure on the host of issues facing them from this government? And I think that answer will be a resounding no.
Starting point is 00:55:41 And I think that's an opportunity to win a debate like this with and manage the political risk that comes from it. But I always think that political risk is overblown, quite frankly, from a shutdown. When Republicans and conservatives fight, the voters reward them in the next election. And I think we will see that in this. case as well. So tell me this job then if we shut down the government. I mean, we can pay our bills.
Starting point is 00:56:08 We're not going to default. All of these things that they've been saying for so long that are just untrue. But it is your former job, right? The Office of OMB, to make the money that we do have work and keep critical
Starting point is 00:56:23 things open. Is that right? That is right. And you you're hitting on the main thing, which is that, you know, Social Security checks go out. Medicare payments occur. You know, the Department of Defense just doesn't all of a sudden, you know, go home. All of these things in terms of what we think of the federal government being open is in play. What is not in play are things like the regulatory agenda, the Biden administration at the EPA.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Those people have to go home and not work. So one of the tasks of OMB is to make. sure that things stay open that are vital to the security of property and the American people, life and things of that nature. And so that was one of the things we did. And we set a high bar. We said, you know, we're going to make this as painless as possible for the American people consistent with the law. And we did that. And I think it's going to be hard for them to play the games that they previously did of trying to shut down the memorials of national parks when they don't have to and get away with it. And I think we will be holding them accountable as much as we
Starting point is 00:57:33 possibly can. Yeah, well, I think people have a very, very short memory, especially when there was no pain when you did it. There was no real pain. And they are, why aren't they using the, we're going to default argument this time? Well, the default argument is largely one with regard to the debt lemon. So when you're a funding situation, now you're, you know, the framing of the attack changes to one about here's, here's ex-government services and it's no longer available to you. Your life will shut down.
Starting point is 00:58:10 I think it's going to be harder also for them to make that argument. We're in the aftermath of COVID. I mean, they shut the economy down for, for, you know, weeks. And so, you know, people have lived through that. So, you know, the loss of some, you know, timely grant is not going to be rise to the same level that it once did in my view. Okay. I'm going to break for one minute. And Russ, if you wouldn't mind, hang on and tell us what the Republicans should be going for, what we should be aiming for at the end of this. We'll come back in just a second. Let me first tell you about relief factor. Are you living with, pain. If so, how bad is it? How frequent is it? Is it the sort of thing that not only annoys you,
Starting point is 00:58:58 but in fact interferes with the way you live your life? Do you ever make decisions based on whether or not you're going to have a flare up or you're going to feel awful the next morning? Now, here are the most important questions. How long are you going to put up with it? And if you tried everything to get rid of it. If your answer to the last question doesn't include relief factor, may I suggest you give it a try. When I was in horrible pain, I did. My wife made me do it. And I got my life back.
Starting point is 00:59:28 To my shock, I got my life back. Three-week quick start. Now, 1995. It's a trial pack, not a drug. It was developed by doctors. And a million people had bought Relief Factor's Quick Start, and about 70% of them go on to order more. So go to Relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief. 1995, three-week quick start.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Again, Relieffactor.com, 800, the number four relief. Relief factor. Feel the difference. Ten seconds. Station ID. Okay, so we're talking to Russell Vote. He is the president of the Center for Renewing America. He's also the former Office of Management and Budget, the former director of that. So what should they be aiming for and what do you think they could get if they stand firm? So what we've called on them to do is to ensure that, you know, that we,
Starting point is 01:00:29 We crush the woke and weaponized bureaucracy with a major cut to non-defense spending and bringing it back to pre-COVID levels, which would be about a 20% cut. And obviously, you and I could do much more cutting in a long weekend. But in terms of really sending a massive signal to the bureaucracy, it would be about a 20% cut. And that's what they should be doing. And I would put on top of it some very clear parameters, we call it, sensing in the money. None of the funds can be used for disinformation campaigns that are used against conservatives. None of the funds can be used by the FBI to target conservatives or anyone from the standpoint of just living their life and trying to express their viewpoints into the First Amendment. So that's the type of things that we would be aiming for and we're encouraging them to do is to say, when you fund this stuff, you are funding this federal government to be aimed at you.
Starting point is 01:01:29 And that's, that honestly, that is something that was a penny that has finally dropped with much of these, this Congress to understand, like, let's stop focusing on the spending that's on autopilot when you, at the exclusion of the stuff that you vote on every year in budget language, we call it discretionary spending. And that's the federal government we interact with on a daily basis. That needs to be defunded. And we need to be having a debate about the fact that we are funding gay pride of activists in Senegal, gay pride events in Prague that were funding the NASA space of camp in Pakistan.
Starting point is 01:02:05 These are totally winnable debates on each and every day if they choose to have them and explain to them what their tax dollars are going to be able to be funded with. It is shocking to me that they are willing to let the government shut down over a fight of 20, percent cuts and not 20 percent cuts to bring us back to 2010, but just to bring us back to the outrageous spending levels that we had before COVID. That's incredible that we won't cut back 20 percent that we gained in COVID. If you can't win that debate, Glenn, I don't know why we send Republicans to Congress. I mean, if you can't use a leverage point to have that very,
Starting point is 01:02:58 simple debate and bring it back and send that message to the bureaucracy. I mean, it's just unjustifiable. Unbelievable. Do you think they're going to stand and do it? I think right now we're in a really good place with conservatives united to try to force this as a leverage point. You know, the establishment is powerful. They're going to lose their minds. They're already starting to to on all of the different legacy media. But here's why I'm optimistic. This crew, this 20 and larger, and it's grown over the course of this year, and folks like Marjorie Taylor-Green are coming back into the team, this group held strong and had historic
Starting point is 01:03:46 change that was potential in January. They have that chance now, and I think they're going to use it. I sense a great commitment in them, and the margins are such. that we don't need all Republicans to stick together. We just need those 20s. Thank you very much, Russell. I appreciate it. Russell,
Starting point is 01:04:04 he is from the Center for Renewing America and former director of the Office of Management and Budget. You can find him at his website, Americarenewing.com. America renewing.com. Back in a minute. The Glenn Beck Program. All of this money that we are spending right now,
Starting point is 01:04:31 all of this money that we are sending, We're about probably $30 billion away from spending the same amount inflation adjusted as we spent for the Marshall Plan, which rebuilt and fed all of Europe. That's what we're sending over to Ukraine. What are we getting for? What exactly are we doing with it? Well, we found out now that we're paying people's salaries and bailing out their small businesses. This leads to amazing inflation, which you're feeling. all the time.
Starting point is 01:05:05 I want you to call gold line now and find out if gold or silver is right for you. It is a way to protect against inflation.

So Bob Menendez makes a claim of why he had almost $500,000 in cash at his home. Now, he's been accused by the Southern District of New York of accepting bribes from Egypt. Now, he had gold bullion. He had a Mercedes.
Starting point is 01:06:25 And he had $480,000 in cash. And when asked about it, this was his answer. Quote, for 30 years, I have withdrawn thousands of dollars in cash. cash from my personal savings, which I have kept for emergency because of the history of my family facing confiscation in Cuba. Now, this might seem old fashion, but those were monies drawn from my personal savings account based on the income that I've lawfully derived over those 30 years. I look forward to addressing other issues at the trial.
Starting point is 01:07:02 Hmm. Now, I think if I said that. well especially you know I wasn't Cuban but I don't think anybody would believe that now that could be true could be true I highly doubt it
Starting point is 01:07:18 but it could be true yeah but what else are you going to say that's the only thing really he could say right I mean unless he's selling facial cream on the side you know that's a possibility too you make a lot of money doing that
Starting point is 01:07:34 so he's a Mary Kay girl Yeah, he might be. Really? Yeah. A political review of congressional earmarks and political contributions found that addition to the money for homelessness and drug treatment, Adam Schiff steered millions of dollars for profit companies and raised tens of thousands for his house re-election campaigns from the same corporate executives and people connected to the earmarks. The review was mostly limited to publicly available data from the brief three-year window when, corporate earmarks were disclosed.
Starting point is 01:08:10 He said, I don't have a complete accounting for everything. So I don't. What? Several of Schiff's earmarks would be barred under reforms adopted in 2010. Among them, Schiff secured millions in funding for Smith's detection and Faysbridge, Inc. Defense companies, based in his district, he steered $6 million to Smith's detection for military warfare sensors between 2003-2006. earmarked another $3 million to Faze Bridge that was developing a radar frequency distribution system for the Navy.
Starting point is 01:08:45 So we've got corruption there. We have corruption with good old Bob Menendez. We also have this. Now this isn't corruption. This is just business. Michelle Obama just gave a one-hour speech at a tech fair in Munich. Now, she was given a check for speaking to a startup event held on the sidelines of the annual October Fest Beer Festival. Now, I can't think of anything I want to hear more from than Michelle Obama at a German startup festival with the Beer Fest and the pretzels just outside of the tent door.
Starting point is 01:09:33 I know I pay a lot of money for that. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So she normally paid charges $200,000 per speech. For a one hour speech. Yeah, one hour. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:47 I mean, that's only $200,000 an hour. I can see the inequality. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah. The inequity that is happening here. It's bad. Her husband costs $400,000.
Starting point is 01:09:59 See, again. Against women. Sexist. Yeah. So he gets $400,000 an hour to speak. She gets $200,000. which doesn't explain why she was paid for this October Fest beer tent festival speech of $741,000. I mean, you've put his speech and her speech, their speaking fees together.
Starting point is 01:10:27 It doesn't equal that. No, that's about three and a half times of what she normally charges. Now, that's strange, isn't it? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Huh. Huh. Now, I'm just thinking to myself, I'm thinking self. Is that what they learned from Clinton?
Starting point is 01:10:45 Is there something maybe else going on there in Germany? Is big beer money behind it? I don't know. But that seems a little, maybe a little out of the norm. Yeah, kind of. Like when the people who were putting on the festival called her and said, hey, we'd like you to come speak. She said, well, yeah, okay, but it's going to cost you $200,000.
Starting point is 01:11:13 No. We'd like to pay you $741,000. Yeah, but that's in euros. Ah, it's in euros. So it's even more. No, it's $700,000. Oh, $700. And euros, it's $741.
Starting point is 01:11:27 So you got to adjust for the exchange, definitely. Sure. Definitely, definitely. Now, some other news. Trump is up now. points over Biden in a new poll. Trump appears strong in the Republican primary, 56% of the party's rank and file backing his nomination. He leads over President Joe Biden, should the pair face again the White House in 2024. Trump has claimed the support of 46 of registered voters in the
Starting point is 01:11:57 latest Messenger Harris X survey. Biden trailed with 41% support, while 13% said they weren't sure. Republican lead comes as 40% approve of Biden's job as president. 56% expressed a negative view of his time in office. Overall, 69% of respondents expressed a belief that the president ought not to run again. A further, 56% said the same of Trump. Well, so that's good. So the majority of America don't want any of these guys. They're like, I don't want to.
Starting point is 01:12:31 I don't want to. May I just suggest that. that for the first time, somebody should run all the way to the end. Hmm. All the way to the convention? Yes, all the way. Hmm. You know, and not to thwart Trump or anything else.
Starting point is 01:12:49 Mm-hmm. But if you don't have a secondary guy who has some votes out there, I don't know how you do it with the way the nomination is set up. You have to have the number of votes. How does that work? Does anybody know? Because he could go away at any time because they could get so crazy and just throw him in jail. And then Trump's not a viable option.
Starting point is 01:13:18 Correct. And then also Newsom could come in or somebody else. And what happens then on the Democratic side? If you're running against Joe Biden, there's a chance. If you're running against Newsom, I mean, I think. I can't imagine there's a chance, but I didn't think that Biden would win. I just think we should be running somebody all the way to the end. By the way, you can tell they're panicking because Hillary Clinton just brought up the Russian election interference.
Starting point is 01:13:54 She said, I'm just warning you. I'm just warning you. The Russians have proved themselves, I'm quoting, to be quite adept at interfering. And if Russian President Vladimir Putin has a chance, he'll do it again. I thought it was illegal now to question an election. Well, she's not just questioning. She's not. She's not questioning an election.
Starting point is 01:14:16 Here she's questioning two elections. The 16 election and the 24. Yes. But not the 2020 election. Not the 2020. No, she had no question on that one. They completely forgot. They were like, oh, crap, it's election day in America.
Starting point is 01:14:31 Vlad, why did you tell us? So Washington Post has come out and said, there is no other candidate. It's going to be comical. If Joe Biden. If the Republican wins and they claim election fraud and that the election was fixed or tampered with by Russia. Yeah, it's going to be funny. Isn't that going to be interesting?
Starting point is 01:14:53 Yeah. Yeah, it'll be really funny as they take to the streets. That's exactly what they'll do if it happens. I know. So let me ask you, let me ask you something here, Pat. They're now saying that there is no one else for America's future than Joe Biden. Because he's the only one
Starting point is 01:15:15 you know, apparently that can beat Donald Trump. I don't understand the Washington Post, but they're saying that he's the most viable option. Here's what I can't understand. I can't understand. Well, I can't understand that.
Starting point is 01:15:31 But I also can't understand people on the other side. And I'd love to hear from you if this is what you believe that things are fine with Joe Biden. That everything is good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:45 With Joe Biden. Yeah. The economy's going well. The war situation is going well. Spending, I guess, is going well. You know, our inflation is under control. You know, gas, our plan for gasoline engines and everything else, that this all makes you comfortable.
Starting point is 01:16:06 Yeah. Because I can't believe that 45% of the American population are still saying, You know, I mean, I'm fine. I'm fine with Joe. I really, are you? With what's happening at the border? This makes sense to you? Inflation, the border.
Starting point is 01:16:22 Crime? The crime? The economy? War? The situation with, yeah, Ukraine. The handouts we're giving them that American taxpayers are paying for the salaries of 57,000 first responders and their social security over there. They're equivalent of it. All of that's okay.
Starting point is 01:16:45 I guess you have to be, you just have to be trapped in that liberal bubble where all you hear is their spin on all that. I keep hearing them say it's the end of the republic if we don't win. Now, they would be saying that if it was Ronda Santis. It's not a Trump thing. They'd be saying that about anybody. Yeah. But I really don't understand how someone's standing up for the Constantine.
Starting point is 01:17:11 because that's where I'm at. How am I a danger to the republic by saying we should return to the plans of the republic? We shouldn't be an empire. We should be a constitutional republic, which we haven't been doing for a long time. How is that the end of the republic or democracy when you're saying we shouldn't have corruption on either side? We shouldn't have dictators on either side. We should use our heads on things. We should come back together as people on the Bill of Rights.
Starting point is 01:17:55 I'm not asking you to come together with me on everything. I'm just saying just on the Bill of Rights. I don't understand how that's the crazy position. Well, it is because anybody who believes in the Constitution is crazy now. You know, you're a right-wing kook if you even bring it up. But again, I don't know how that works in your head. If you're a thinking human being, I'd like to know how that works in your head. And if it does work for you, please call me.
Starting point is 01:18:26 8 at 8-727-BCK. I'm not going to try to change your mind. I really want to understand that. How does that work that I'm the extremist? And all I want is a return to the constitutional norms. that make sure that power doesn't get out of control. How is that extreme? Back in a minute,
Starting point is 01:18:48 I want to tell you about a hero, 9-11, first responder, a fire department of New York lieutenant, Charles Mayello. He answered a call to help others on America's darkest day, 9-11. 10 years later, though, he suffered a fatal heart attack in the line of duty, and he left behind a wife and child. This is where the tunnel to towers came in. when one of these guys lose their life, their spouse and their children are taking care of.
Starting point is 01:19:17 And the first thing they do is they try to pay the mortgage on the family home. And that's what they did. That removes much of the financial burden during that difficult, difficult time. Imagine having to bury a husband or a wife with children remaining and you're worried, how am I going to afford the house? Where are we going to live? This is who Tunnel to Towers is. this is what they do.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Be a part of it. America's heroes and their families need your help now more than ever. Join Tunnel to Towers on its mission to do good in their honor. More than 95 cents of every dollar you donate to Tunnel to Towers goes to its programs. That is astonishing. Donate $11 a month, will you, to T the number two t.org. That's T2T.org. This is the Glenn Back program.
Starting point is 01:20:24 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. You know, we're just talking about how is returning to the Constitution, or in this case, returning to the budget that was pre-pandemic. How is that the destruction of America? Remember, prior to the pandemic, gas was $2.26 per gallon, and we were energy independent for the very first time in my lifetime. 2.77% mortgage rate, 1.4.4.5%. percent inflation, increasing real income, increasingly controlled southern border, strong economic progress for the minorities. Vladimir Putin hadn't bothered Ukraine.
Starting point is 01:21:07 The Taliban was being brought to heal, and we had peace accords in the Middle East. What part of that don't you want to go back to? What part of that? I mean, I don't, I don't, I don't, I really don't understand it. Yeah, and they just said, the White House just said that, was it, was it KJP that was just asked about the economy and, you know, why his ratings are so low and why he can't get people to understand what he's done? And her response was, the economy was flat on its back when Joe Biden took office. And now he's turned it around completely. It was flat on its back because we had everything.
Starting point is 01:21:54 closed. Yeah. Everything was closed for the first time in history. And by the way, they're now saying we can't have a government shut down. I tell you what, just 15 days to slow the spread of spending. That's what the Republican should be saying right now. Yeah. We're only going to, we're only advocating 15 days to slow the spending of Washington.
Starting point is 01:22:21 If we can close down the entire country and, survive, I think we could close the government. Plus, when was it that it happened last? Was that, has it been 10 years? It's been a while. But you remember the government shutdown? And really the worst part of it was that they closed the national parks and you couldn't get in for a few days. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:22:45 That hurt. In the meantime, they're trying to shut all of the national parks so people can't get in. Ever. How is that a problem? How is that a problem for them? Remember this. 15 days to slow the spreading of spending. That's all we're asking for.
Starting point is 01:23:02 We're just going to shut it down for 15 days while we work this out. The Glenn Beck program. I want to talk to you about American giant back in the olden days of the 1960s. 95% of the clothing Americans bought was made here in America. Now in America, 97% is made overseas. A complete reversal of everything. and we're feeling that in every possible way. Jobs went overseas.
Starting point is 01:23:32 Everything was shut down here. Well, it's time to rebuild. And that's what American Giant is really all about. In 2012, a clothing factory in North Carolina was going to shut down. And they worked with the factory to invest in new machinery and skill development. Ten years later, they make the best hoodie you'll ever own. These are, you remember the sweatshirts from the 60s that maybe your dad had? that is the kind of sweatshirt they make.
Starting point is 01:23:57 They don't make them in America anymore. Nobody does except for American-dash-giant.com slash glen. American-dash-giant. com slash glen. Go there now. Buy American and some of the best clothing you'll ever wear. American-dash-giant. com slash Glenn.
Starting point is 01:24:18 The fusion of entertainment, the Glenn-backed program. Oh my gosh, the horror. There are Republicans that want to shut down government, which will mean the ATF will know what are they doing? They just want gunplay everywhere with no ATF. Oh, what's going to happen? What's going to happen? I mean, well, luckily there's no way anybody could smuggle anything across our border right now because we got that locked up tight. They actually said if the government closes down, the border.
Starting point is 01:25:40 could get out of control. It could get out of control. It is out of control. Oh my gosh. I want you tell everybody you know it's talking. Anybody who says, we're trying to avoid the shutdown. Look, here's what the Republicans are trying to do.
Starting point is 01:26:00 They just think we should shut the government down for 15 days to slow the spread of spending. That's it. That's it. And in 15 days, we'll reevaluate. If they could shut down the United States of America and the small business owners of America generally survived after a year?
Starting point is 01:26:25 I don't know. I think the government could go away for a while. And I don't think we'd even notice, honestly, because all the checks are still going to be going to senior citizens and everything else. Don't let them scary on that. It's all going to keep coming. 15 days. That's all we ask. 15 days is stop the spread of spending. That's all I ask, really, honestly. Come on, Republicans. Do not blow it this time. More in a minute. First, I want to talk to you about the parallel economy we're building all the time on this program and all across the country. And one of the best examples of the kind of country, a company that belongs in that economy is Patriot Mobile. For a decade, they've been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. The only one,
Starting point is 01:27:09 And I'm proud to partner with them. I have for almost 10 years. Patriot Mobile offers dependable nationwide coverage so you can access any of the three major networks so everybody's on. You don't have to worry about the part of your bill going to fund the leftist causes. You not only get great service at a great price, but you're also sending a message to the rest of the country. I don't know, I believe in free speech. You know, religious freedom. Guns.

I want to tell you, I want to read a story that was shocking to me.
Starting point is 01:28:33 Shocking. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I want to see if you can figure out what's going on, because experts are confused. Okay. A sparsely populated area of Alaska, home to hundreds of UFO and Bigfoot-style sightings, has also seen 20,000 people disappear since 1970. 20,000.
Starting point is 01:28:58 20,000. Huh. Well, many have heard about the Bermuda Triangle, which I flew in Bermuda Triangle. I honestly thought I was going to die. or not he was going to die. Yeah, we were going over, I don't remember where, Israel or something, and had the whole family and the crew on the plane, and we hit turbulence in the Bermuda triangle,
Starting point is 01:29:25 unlike anything I've ever. And we had to actually set down in Bermuda to get out of it. It was horrible. And that's when my son-in-law, who was very nervous on the whole thing. We all thought we were going to die, but he was a little more dramatic about it. And he got down on the ground and said to my daughter,
Starting point is 01:29:49 I can't go back on that plane. I can't die that way. And she said, what do you mean? And he said, I'm another. And she said, what do you mean? And he said, all I could think of is if this plane goes down, it'll be reported as Glenn Beck and others died. And I don't have.
Starting point is 01:30:07 to die as another. Anyway, so what you've heard of the Bermuda triangle, now the so-called Alaskan triangle has managed to slip largely under the public radar despite having a missing person's rate of more than double
Starting point is 01:30:23 the national average. Located between Juno, Anchorage, and the small town of Barrow, the area is reportedly a hotbed of paranormal activity. Explanation for the strange phenomena have ranged from everything from alien activity to powerful electromagnetic fields in the area,
Starting point is 01:30:45 similar to those found in the Bermuda Triangle. Local legends refer to a Sasquatch creature terrorizing the towns. This includes one settlement called Portlock, the southern edge of the Kani Peninsula, which was abandoned in the 1950s after villagers were attacked and killed. killed by an unknown creature. Oh, man. In recent years, however, the area has the backdrop of thousands of unexplained vanishings. Despite being just one percent inhabited, Alaska, I'll listen to this.
Starting point is 01:31:23 Okay. Only one percent of Alaska is inhabited. Mm-hmm. Despite that, Alaska has far and away the most missing people compared to any other state. the next highest state for missing persons is Arizona, with 12.28, double the national average of 6.5 people per 100,000. But Alaska loses 42.16 people every 100,000. Weird.
Starting point is 01:31:53 Yeah, really weird. Now, now, the most recent is Shauna Oman, disappeared while visiting a friend in Fairbanks on June 3rd. Oman had made arrangements to get a ride home with a friend, but then never materialized or returned home. Okay. She left without any belongings or her dog, and everyone's perplexed. Even experienced outdoorsmen are not safe. Mountain rescuer Gerald DeBerry, 43, went out with a group in the White Mountains,
Starting point is 01:32:29 70 miles north of Fairbanks to search for a missing woman. but never returned home. Oh, wow. A year later, his ATV was discovered with the engine switched off, but no sign of him a year later. Various conspiracy theories have been posited. Field researcher Ken Gerhardt told the history channel that the triangle could be a vile vortis, a lodgian shape area with increased electromagnetic force.
Starting point is 01:33:03 He said the theory is, these particular areas are supercharged with geo-electromagnetic energy. Another doctor. And does it vaporize people? Don't be ridiculous. Don't be ridiculous. So what does it do? How is that responsible for people disappear? It makes things happen that don't usually happen.
Starting point is 01:33:27 Okay. Now, FBI expert, UFO expert, Debbie Zieglemyer. said that Alaska's sparse population makes it attractive to extraterrestrials. Because they can go pretty much wherever they want. That's the attraction of Alaska. She believes that it might be kidnapping from... By space aliens. Now,
Starting point is 01:33:58 Cryptozoologist Jeff Backman said, Alaska is the perfect thing because anything could live there. I don't think rattlesnakes, but I digress. Anything of any size could be hiding in the Alaskan wilderness. That is so true. That is so true and so frightening. Now, I am a doctor, so I am going to comment on this. It also could be that there are lots of big bears in Alaska
Starting point is 01:34:29 and no one's around to hear you scream. It could be that, you know, Alaska's a very big place, and I hear a little chilly at times. It could be that you go hiking on a mountain. Yeah. And your footing slips and you're buried under a lot of snow. Could be, could be. I mean, I believe the alien thing.
Starting point is 01:34:58 But you're just starting. throwing out wild. I'm throwing out, yeah. I mean, let me throw out a wild theory. It might be that Alaska has more missing people than any other state because there's no nothing in most of Alaska.
Starting point is 01:35:16 And so you can get lost and die and no one will find you except animals that will eat you. Well, I mean, that's a crazy theory. But I suppose it's possible. Yeah, okay. All right. I just wanted to see if you thought it was. It's much more likely that space aliens took them, you know, for the space probes. Probes that they're doing the. I like the idea that Alaska is just their playground.
Starting point is 01:35:45 I love that. You know, the playground of aliens. Because they can go anywhere they want. Anywhere they want. Anywhere they want. There is not a space on planet Earth where just nobody is. You know, not an, it is crowded. every other place.
Starting point is 01:36:01 Now, I would point out, space is very cold, so maybe they like it because it's also very, very cold. You know, maybe I'm just saying. Yeah, I'm just saying. Now, is this the case with the Republicans that have told us that they were going to stop the spending
Starting point is 01:36:27 and change the culture and then they appear to go to Washington and then just completely disappear. We never hear from them again. Is it possible? That is. There's a very large electromagnetic force right there in the capital
Starting point is 01:36:44 in the White House. And it could explain. Now, it could be aliens. Okay? They could be eaten by bears. But I've seen fences. I've seen fences. Now, but people can get past those fences.
Starting point is 01:36:56 I've also heard that. So it might be, I mean, I'm a doctor, so I am going to just throw this out there, that those politicians are just dirt bags. Oh, wow. Yeah. I don't think it might be. I mean, I know it can't be that.
Starting point is 01:37:16 It's probably the aliens. You know, you think? Or the vortex, the lodgians shaped vortex that's right there underneath the capital. Yes. Oh, we lost another one. but he lost another one. I'd rather believe the UFO thing than the fact that they're all spineless worms
Starting point is 01:37:34 that can't fulfill any of the promises. Oh, seriously, wouldn't you? I mean, this is quite a statement. I mean this sincerely. If one of them looked into the camera and was like, I'm going to vote for this big spending bill where we're teaching our kids
Starting point is 01:37:52 that they can be anything they want and then we can mutilate them in surgery. and one of them reached up to their eyelid and they just pulled it down a little bit and they were a lizard person. Wouldn't you be like, oh, what a relief? Yes. I get it now. Yes, I'd rather that. I would.
Starting point is 01:38:11 I think so. I think so. All right. If you are not supporting your house member, assuming, you know, you have a Freedom Caucus member, reach out to the Freedom Caucus members and tell them, keep standing. These 20 have. It's going to get harder. to do that. So they're going to need support like that.
Starting point is 01:38:29 They're going to do everything to these people. Yes, they are. And if you're not clean, if you have something to hide, they're just going to destroy you. They'll destroy you. I mean, you know, the one thing you can say about these guys is,
Starting point is 01:38:45 you know, probably 15 of them haven't done anything illegal or immoral. 15, you think? Maybe. I was going to say three, but you think? You think maybe three? I think we could go for 15 that are completely clean, wouldn't end up in prison by something that they're hiding. Or, you know, just leave a wreckage of a family behind them.
Starting point is 01:39:09 I think there's maybe 15 of them that we can count on. You are really optimistic. I am. I'm feeling good today. I'm feeling good. 15 out of 435. I believe it could be done. I believe it could be done.
Starting point is 01:39:20 American financing NMLS 1-28-334. www.

Starting point is 01:40:39 All righty. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Did you happen to see where some of our money is going? This is why government can't shut down because, of course, as we talked about earlier on the show, you've got to. got the Ukraine situation where we're paying their salaries of 57,000 first responders. We're paying their social security benefits or their equivalent of it. Yeah. Paying some of their politicians and some of their agencies. Yeah. And just in general, keeping their economy afloat and giving
Starting point is 01:41:23 them small business loans and all of those things. But yesterday, Joe Biden talked about what we're also spending in the Pacific Island, several Pacific Island nations. to name some of those specific islands I can name Guam Guam, okay and I can name Philippines No, no
Starting point is 01:41:45 No, not the Philippines The American Samoa American Samoa And Guam And the other ones just The other ones are so big You can't remember them Right
Starting point is 01:41:56 Okay Yes But there's five of them Here's what he said About what we're going to give them For their infrastructure So today I'm please to announce we're working with Congress to address $40 billion in our Pacific Islands
Starting point is 01:42:11 Infrastructure Initiative. We call it the PII anyways. It doesn't matter what we call it, but that's what it is. Because I can't say it's PIA. I was going to get back to acronyms and I'm going to withstand not doing that. Yeah, really funny. A really charming moment there. But I think what was lost on everybody is, wait, what?
Starting point is 01:42:33 we're giving them $40 billion for their infrastructure? There's two American territories and then 12 more islands that were just given money to fix their infrastructure for no. Because I guess we got so much money. No, you know what the reason is. We're trying to block China. Yes, we are. We're trying to block China. But another $40 billion?
Starting point is 01:42:56 Yeah, I don't have a problem with that. Spending the money that we have to print that causes inflation on the average everyday American. So you're like most Americans. Most Americans are saying I'm fine with that. How much is the price of milk? I don't think I'm paying enough. You know? Right.
Starting point is 01:43:10 You know, I... And this might help drive up that price. It will help drive up that price. The more we spend, the higher the price of milk. And I think there's a lot of people like me that says, you know what? Milk is not expensive enough yet. And you're looking out for dairy farmers. Am I right?
Starting point is 01:43:28 Well, no, they don't get any of the money. Oh, okay. But if we can get milk up to $17, $18 a half gallon, I think, you know, that's when I start to feel a little uncomfortable. $17 or $18 a half gallon. Yeah. That's when I think Americans will say, hey, this might not be for me in the Pacific Islands. You know, I... And when the gas prices are $8, $9 a gallon.
Starting point is 01:43:52 Oh, I think people will love that. I mean, California does. Yeah. So, you know, you get up to $25, $26. you know, or restrictions that you could only be a special member of a special class to get the gasoline at $26. Right. Right. I think that's when some people might say, I don't know. I don't think this is working out.
Starting point is 01:44:17 Oh, those are the intolerant people. Those are the haters. Those will be the ones that are standing in the way of progress. Yeah. They have to be reeducated. We're going to have to send them to a camp. Men. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:44:27 Amen. Amen. Okay, so let me just play something else. Here's a flashback of Trudeau talking about the truckers in Canada. Let's say this. How much vitriol do we have to see of honk honk, which is an acronym for Hail Hitler. Do we need to see by these protesters on social media? Okay.
Starting point is 01:44:56 Honk, honk. is akin to Hile Hitler Honk Honk Okay Then we had Trudeau going in to
Starting point is 01:45:12 announce in Parliament there a really great hero He was a Well he was a former SS Nazi Uh-huh Whoops Didn't get that one right Wait until I play for you
Starting point is 01:45:25 The The response from Trudeau Because honestly, I've listened to it now three times, and I don't know what he's saying. I mean, I really don't understand what he's saying there. But it was a great apology. Can't wait to hear it. Was it an apology? I'm not really sure.
Starting point is 01:45:48 And by the way, tomorrow is the second presidential debate for the GOP. Yeah, on Fox. The Glenn Beck Program. Oh, it's going to be good. It's going to be good. All right, let me tell you about Rough Greens. Your dog is also a listener of mine, okay? But you never thought of it that way.
Starting point is 01:46:06 Your dog is sitting there listening to the show every day. He waits for you to turn it on because he doesn't have opposable thumbs, you know. So he turns it on. And, you know, he knows the Constitution. He believes in the Bill of Rights. And he's saying to himself, this guy keeps talking about this yummy stuff that's good for me that you can put on my food. and you're not doing it. What's up with that?
Starting point is 01:46:31 And that's why he's looking at you with those eyes. Occasionally you'll see him. He'll look at you kind of like with the sad eyes or the happy eyes or the, gee, why have you left me alone so long? What he's really saying? Because I speak dog. I know your dog.

Starting point is 01:47:29 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I want to bring somebody on here. We're going to go back to Canada in just a minute. Cash Patel is with us. He is a former Department of Defense Chief of staff, former deputy director of national intelligence, and he has released a book today called Government Gangsters. This is a tell-all book that is a real tell-all book. We welcome him to the program now. Cash, how are you, sir? I'm good, Glenn. Thanks so much for having me on. I've got a lot of questions. We're going to have to have you back maybe next week. But no problem. So Donald Trump said he's going to use this. book as a blueprint to help take back the White House and remove these gangsters from government.
Starting point is 01:48:15 Who really is running the country? Is it the president? Is it Congress or is it the deep state? No, I wish it wasn't the deep state. I wish I didn't write a book called government gangsters about taking out the deep state. I served for 16 years in Democratic and Republican administrations and the entrenched class that I saw rise up the ranks and make themselves public when Donald Trump was, the president of the United States, was not anything I expected in the United States of America. We fought them, doesn't matter if they were Republican or Democrat, more than we fought the levers of Congress, more than we fought the mainstream media, and more than we fought the political enemies that Donald Trump had. They think the levers of government and positions are there to
Starting point is 01:48:56 serve their own egos. And I was shocked that you saw it, not just in DOD, but at DOJ, FBI, MSA. And, and, you know, a good friend of mine was like, look, this is the moment in time and history. where you have to put it out there for the American people to digest and understand an incredible fashion and not use hyperbole. And that was the mission with government gangsters. Hopefully we did that. So was there a point, I mean, working 16 years, did you think, this isn't true. At what point did you think, wait a minute, there might be something to this deep state idea. What was your first encounter that showed you how wrong?
Starting point is 01:49:37 rotten to the core this thing really was. Well, I was the lead prosecutor for the Benghazi terrorist attacks at Maine Justice, and that led me on the trail of the Hillary Clinton email fiasco. Of course, this was before anybody ever even knew about it. And when I raised that specter at DOJ, they thought I was out of my mind, and the rest is history. So when that happened, I said, wait a second, why are we not prosecuting the 17 terrorists that killed four Americans?
Starting point is 01:50:03 I remember Attorney General O'Colder walked in the room and said, nope, we're only going to prosecute this one guy, everything else is too political. And I was just, I was floored. I was like, wait a second. I'm a career, you know, national security prosecutor guy here trying to take out the bad guys. And then fold that over into Russiagate, which I then ran for chairman Devin Nunes. And I saw how the FISA court process was broken, was ruptured. And the FBI DOJ committed unlawful acts to illegally surveil a presidential candidate. Whatever your politics are, I was just shattered by that faith and justice, having usify the process, actually manhunt terrorists. So those two events sort of like jelled it together for me.
Starting point is 01:50:40 And then, of course, Donald Trump gets elected and it was on heroin after that. Yeah. So is there, but what is a percentage of people that are involved, knowingly involved, and how much of the government does it cover? All of it? It covers every agency and department, everything. All of it. All the administrative places, legislative, executive, even the judiciary. Now we've seen one of the moves I call for in government gangsters that we've seen those that on the black robe of justice on the bench mediate judicial rulings based on political ethos. And so I would say it takes up about 10% of all government bureaucracy, the deep state, the entrenched class. And that's why I think we have the ability to remove them and secure this country and the levers of justice again for the American people. If it was any more than that, we'd have a whole other problem. But that 10% has become so powerful. They drown out. Then that's
Starting point is 01:51:39 what I want to highlight in my book, the many great Americans that continue to do the mission. I get calls every day from people at the FBI, DOJ and DOD, thanking us for the work we're continuing to do to try to correct course here. Why aren't there more of them standing up then? Yeah, that's the great question. We try to do it. We try to help whistleblowers along. And I think the political retaliation that you see for those that stand up, I mean, just look at a couple of the FBI whistleblowers. They were removed from their jobs, paid, their pay was suspended. One of them was moving across the country with four little children and couldn't afford to pay rent. That's what they do to you if you dare to come forward. So we have to build institutions
Starting point is 01:52:20 to help them do that. We're working on all of that, but it takes, unfortunately, it takes time, and a lot of these people, they just want to serve. That's what they went to government to do, serve quietly. And I think you're right, though, we need some more people to come forward. So when you think of the deep state, I think a lot of people think it's a bunch of Dr. evils making plans in some, you know, underground dungeon, you know, some cabal. What is it, how does it really work? What is it really like? You know, I think it used to be like that, maybe 15, 20 years ago. Now the deep state is just in your face publicly out there because they use their mainstream media partners in the fake news.
Starting point is 01:52:58 There is no deep state, no government gangsters without them. They leak information to them. They did it in Russia Gate, Ukraine impeachment one, two, Hunter Biden laptop, 51 Intel letter, you name it. They have the playbook written out. When a political narrative is out there that they want to defeat, they get their, they call their few friends in government, and they say, okay, what do we want out there? How do we help defeat Donald Trump's agenda? How do we help defeat the conservative movement? And that is how they operate because they get full cover.
Starting point is 01:53:24 In this two-tier system of justice, they know they are never going to get prosecuted internally. as long as they are serving the mission of the government gangsters. And again, it's not a Republican-Democrat thing. In my book, I probably call out more Republicans than I do Democrat in the back index where I name every government gangster. Name some of them. Bill Barr, Mark Esper, Gina Haspel, Rod Rosenstein, Chris Ray, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco. And so I've probably have 70 others in the back of the book there. That's just a few.
Starting point is 01:53:55 And have you connected them to? each other or is this just look at what they're doing? That must mean they're in the deep state. I will give you, that was the great point. I've connected them and I'll give you a fantastic example. Rob Rosenstein, who wrote the unlawful FISA warrant against President Trump, who covered up the Devin Nunes and I's investigation on Russia Gate, when Chris Ray was the FBI director and they threatened to investigate us,
Starting point is 01:54:22 a story for another day, but they actually did subpoena my records when I was a senior staff on Capitol Hill. and Gina Haspel, who was the CIA station chief in London, who authorized the launch of Russiagate, later became a CIA director. Do you know where Gina Haskell and Rod Rosenstein worked today at Christopher Ray's old law firm in Washington, D.C.? Holy cow. Is the next president, no matter who he is, is he going to be able to do this? I mean, if 10% of the government and all of the media, how does a president even begin to, to operate and and shut these things down?
Starting point is 01:55:05 It's a multi-pronged sort of game that you have the level. And the one thing that you have to start with is personnel. I think the one thing the Trump administration learned in the first term was you can't trust these entrenched government bureaucrats. And anyone that they've ever talked to and anyone that recommended them is out. We are working. I'm obviously in all in for President Trump on the personnel package that should come with him should he win the presidency, but also what you need is Congress to come in and suspend the
Starting point is 01:55:35 budgets of the people that have robbed us of our system of justice at the FBI, at DOJ, and zero out these line items and eliminate the seats and the billets, as we call them, that just endlessly grow government morass to no end, to feed places like the defense industrial complex. You have to have all three branches firing at the same time, but it starts with a huge purchase of all purchase an out package and it starts with a massive, massive funding expenditure removal based on corruption. When you're looking at the FBI, DOJ, CIA, intelligence, can they be fixed? Yes, they can. It's going to be a monumental list. I'll give you a little example I talked about in government gangsters. When I was deputy director of national intelligence, we cut 10% of that workforce, even though
Starting point is 01:56:22 everybody told us you can't fire anyone in government. That's just not true. Nobody had the will to do it. You got to go to Congress. You got to tell them, hey, take this out of our budget immediately. I don't want this seat. I don't want this position for next year. And you can remove people who committed acts of corruption and unlawful, unethical behavior.
Starting point is 01:56:39 So you can do it. You just have to have the people across the board. We didn't have that. We had guys like Barr and Esper and Gina Haspel blockading the Trump administration's agenda and keeping their personnel protected. They all were talking to each other continuously. And remember, Rod Rosenstein agreed to. to wear a wire because the deputy director of the FBI, Andy McCabe, told him to do it against
Starting point is 01:57:00 the sitting president. And this is the levels of corruption we have to fight against. But the bench, the good news is the bench exists. I've worked with them. I know them. A lot of them are still in. Some of them left, and we can bring them all back. But we're going to need a leader, in my opinion, like President Trump, to put all those pieces on the chessboard. Do you have, do you think enough people in Washington in either party that you could cobble together the support to do this? Does anybody in Congress or the Senate in any great number exist to help you? It's not a massive number, but I'm out there on the campaign trail for a lot of conservative candidates in both the House and the Senate and they subscribe to the same ethos.
Starting point is 01:57:47 So you got to start somewhere and it's not going to be an overnight situation. and the deep state is going to come out and attack these candidates going forward. But I think there's enough of a clan of us that can get this mission across, or at least started up over the next year, which is my goal is to educate America through now until next November of the election cycle to say, this is a deep state, this happened, and this is what we must do to fix it. Then, hopefully, once we win all levers of government, we can come in and do it. I'd like to put a chalkboard together with your help on how this thing works and what needs to be done.
Starting point is 01:58:24 So I'd love to have you back at some point, maybe next week when you get off of the book tour crunch here. The name of the book is government gangsters. He names names. He knows he was there. If we want to end this nightmare, a couple of things have to happen. The money has got to be cut. And the Republicans, I shouldn't say the Republicans, the Freedom Caucus is working on that today. And they're hammering it out on each other, trying to get this thing done.
Starting point is 01:59:02 You have to give the purse strings back to the Congress. And if Congress doesn't do anything, then we vote them out and we continue to do it in larger and larger numbers. But the other is going after the deep state and identity. identifying who these people are and where they're hiding is the most important part. You've got to identify them. Are you worried at all cash about, I mean, this is movie stuff. People have died for less than this. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:35 Look, it is a scary sort of roadmap that we've laid out, but it's the one that matters most to save this constitutional republic. So that's why there are people out there, whether it's me and you in the conservative voice movement, that are out there that are put in the mission first, as I say, government gangsters. And I think we have enough of us to do it. But we've also got to take out the fake news media machine. And that's the bigger challenge, in my opinion, than taking out just the deep state government gangsters themselves. I think we can do it. Yes, it's going to be a brutal year. But if we don't do it and we don't win in 2024, then that's it.
Starting point is 02:00:14 game over yeah thanks cash appreciate it god bless we'll talk to you again name of the name of the name of the book is government gangsters it came out today i will tell you i think the mainstream media is losing its grip on america that's why you're seeing people like elon musk and and uh russell brand who may be guilty of some things but this is a political takedown of him um they are going to get stronger and stronger i'm trying to take people down because we are becoming very effective effective. If you're looking to buy or sell a home or both and somebody says to you, I know a person, most of the time, here's what you need to do. Run for your life. The person in question probably dips her pinky toe into the real estate business by watching YouTube videos. You know, after getting a home from a long day of sacking groceries, they come home and they're like, I want to, I can be a real estate agent.
Starting point is 02:01:09 here's what you want. Here's what you actually need. When you're dealing with somebody as complicated and as important as buying and selling a home, this is your biggest investment of your life, most likely.

Starting point is 02:02:09 we're going to be talking about the American covenant, which is something that George Washington did, our pilgrims did, and again, we made the covenant right after the Battle of Gettysburg. And I firmly believe
Starting point is 02:02:23 it is our only chance of really, really surviving and reviving our country. And I'm going to be talking about it on radio, but also Thursday, October 19th at 630 at the Mountain America Exposition Center in Utah. You can come with your family. I recommend you bring your older kids, you know, your teenagers, and anybody who can sit through it, it's $10 a seat. and I'm going to be talking about what is a covenant nation.
Starting point is 02:02:58 How do we know America is one of those? And what it means, you know, I'll be talking about that in the Constitution and the survival of the greatest country ever to be on earth, in my humble opinion. Pat Gray, let me thank you, first of all, for being here, but let me play from Canada, Justin Trudeau, explaining, you know, apologizing about the Nazi they heralded. Obviously, it's extremely upsetting that this happened. The speaker has acknowledged his mistake and has apologized. But this is something that is deeply embarrassing to the Parliament of Canada and by extension to all Canadians.
Starting point is 02:03:42 I think particularly of Jewish MPs and all members of the Jewish community across the country who are celebrating Yom Kippur today. I think it's going to be really important that all of us push back against Russian propaganda, Russian disinformation, and continue our steadfast and unequivocal support for Ukraine. Hold on. Can it stop? I don't understand what come from. I don't know. Who is saying this was Russian propaganda? This is the guy coming from Ukraine.
Starting point is 02:04:15 Right. And Parliament putting him up in the balcony like we do on, you know, the, the presidential speech every year, the state of the union. How is that Russian propaganda? That's not Russian, but how? I don't know. Wow. It's just bizarre.
Starting point is 02:04:33 Words to these people mean nothing anymore. The Glenn Beck program.
