The Glenn Beck Program - Why Kamala’s 'Unburdened' Line Is Her Most RADICAL Statement | Guests: Alveda King & Kelly Shackelford | 8/2/24

Episode Date: August 2, 2024

Men are punching women in the face at the Olympics, and we can’t be silent! Is this what Kamala Harris means by allowing ourselves to be “unburdened by what has been”? Glenn warns that while Harris’ favorite saying might sound silly, its real meaning is VERY dangerous. First Liberty Institute’s president and CEO Kelly Shackelford joins to review just how close we are to the Democrats packing the Supreme Court. Glenn reviews why Trump was right when he called out Kamala Harris for switching her racial identity from Indian to black. Glenn’s new young adult fiction novel, “Chasing Embers,” is now a New York Times best-seller! Glenn speaks with artist Chris Hopkins about what historical artifacts he drew inspiration from for Glenn’s upcoming art show. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., joins to preview the upcoming “March for Kids” in Washington, D.C. BlazeTV host Steve Deace gives his advice to the Trump campaign on what it should focus on in the final months of the election. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kamala and Joe for her first unscripted ramblings yesterday, or should we start with boxers being punched in the face? You know, we have that, oh, there's a great, really creepy

So what is the thing that has been setting you off in the last 24 hours? Why do you assume that there is something? I mean, maybe it's been a really relaxing day and everything's been fine.

Perhaps that's been my last 24 hours. Somehow I doubt that still. Honestly, the thing that's been pissing me off more than anything is the basically male boxer beating the crap out of women in the ring. That's been kind of the thing that's been bothering me. I kind of think that that's weird. A little bit. I think the idea of domestic violence for entertainment is kind of a strange thing. And I've been following the story relatively closely.

And now the left is trying to say, actually, she's intersex or something like that. It really doesn't matter. Like, this doesn't have to be a statement about trans rights in America to be a problem. The problem is a giant person with all sorts of male characteristics and strength beyond almost any woman. is punching women in the face. And I just, you know, and by the way, a person who's already failed a gender test in a major international competition. So that's enough for me to be a little upset.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know you're a betting man. Let's just, I mean, let's just go with it. How long before we see a non-binary person or a person that has switched, genders beat a woman to death and the crowds cheer? How long?

How long? When do we get that special? Not long. I mean, there was a story just the other day. It was two days ago. A 17-year-old girl was playing volleyball against a trans person. And she's now, I think, paralyzed, which is... Oh, yeah, but she didn't die.

She's paralyzed with brain damage after a transgender opponent who cackled with delight after knocking her to the ground. So that's our world. Okay. Well, it doesn't count. Doesn't count. Who feels bad for the athlete from Italy that God punched in the face? I feel really bad for her, and it's a weird distinction in that I feel bad for her and her rise through her sporting life and all the work she's put in and how this was her dream and it's been ruined by nonsense. though I feel worse for her for being punched in the face by a man. That's actually the one I think is worse than even the sporting event stuff. So I'm all with you on the sporting event stuff.

I think that's really bad. But when we get to combat sports, it becomes a whole other level of, I would argue, borderline criminality. You know, without knowing all the facts, I don't know, I can't, I guess, put them immediately in prison. But I think anyone who sanctions this sort of nonsense should be considered for a small, home inside a cell. So I agree with all of that stuff, but I, a little bit of me says, hmm, Miss Italian

police officer, I did feel really bad for you. And then you decided to walk off and go, But who am I to judge? Honestly, who am I to judge? I don't know. I just didn't want to be hit in the face by him anymore. Who are you to judge? I don't know. An individual. a person, a woman. If you don't stand up against this, it's never going to change. You can't let somebody else carry the water for you. You had a global stage.

Everybody saw you. Everybody was with you. And then you go, but I don't know. I mean, maybe I'm just a bigot. Maybe I'm just a hate monger. I don't think so. But it could be. No, no, I'm a woman.

When are we going to protect women? When are we going to protect girls in sports? When? The whole world is it, you know what? You know what this is? This is the world being unburdened by those things that have been. You know what that means? Let me translate bull crap to English.

This is what that means. Forget everything you thought was true because we're changing everything tonight. that's what that means to be unburdened by those things that were yeah no thank you I know how to define a woman

genetics you know kind of kind of plays a role in life I hate to bring this up but science plays a role and you can't you can't pass as a biological female you don't play.

But no wait, but we're being unburdening ourselves from things like that icky science. Only in this category, however. Because science disagrees with us. So, okay, well, it also does in global warming and a whole bunch of other stuff. But like, shh, quiet, you hate monger. Stand up. Stand up. Title IX is going in. Some states

are letting your kids go to school in the next few weeks. and they're going to be kicked in the face by some female soccer player. That's a dude. Say it. Say it. You know, it all stops having power when you're not afraid anymore. What do you have to lose? What do you have to lose?

I could lose my job. You want to lose your soul? Well, I got to take care of my kids. Really? And how are they going to take care of them when we've unburdened ourselves? with what has been. When they don't know history, when they don't know math, they don't know how to read or write,

how are they going to survive, dad, mom? They're not going to. If you don't stand up for them right now, they ain't going to. You know, God, it's funny you say that. I've heard Kamala Harris say that so many times, and basically I've only considered it as something to mock and just the fact that she's got nothing to say and she's just repeating herself.

But as you point that out, I mean, isn't that essentially exactly what Michelle Obama said all those years ago? It's the same freeze. Yes. Right? Like, it's, you know, hey, we got to erase our history. We have to erase our traditions. We have to move to a new time. We have to unburden ourselves from the things that were.

That's exactly what she was saying. Unburdened by what has been. This is why you... Yeah, you cannot just make Kamala Harris into a joke. She means those things. And you don't see it that way because you're like, oh, look at the poetry ladies back. I mean, it is also fun to laugh at.

I'm not going to dismiss that part of it. It is. You're right, though. It's like it's an interesting thing. If you, if you're unburdened, by what has been, such as knowledge, traditions, things that have actually worked for civilizations. Man, you can make all sorts of crazy decisions. The Constitution, you're not burdened by it anymore.

Really, I mean, I had never thought of it. I never thought about what she was actually saying. I was just laughing at her for saying seemingly nothing. But there's a lot of meaning behind that. Important. Now, may I, I need your permission. to do this, too, because I never, ever do this. May I bring this to the Nazis? You know, you usually are so hesitant to bring up any sort of tie to Nazi Germany that

I know, I know, I know, I know. I know. I know. Because you just are so normally not going down that road. Right. You're so normally unburdened by the Nazis and what they have been. Right. What was it that the Nazi scientists were trying to do? They were trying to create super people, right? They wanted to change, don't it make my brown eyes blue?

Well, injecting eyes with ink. Yeah, that makes your brown eyes blue until you die. So what they did is they unburdened them. of those things that had been like, hey, let's treat every child as sacred. Hey, let's have empathy for people who are unlike us. Let's unburden ourselves from this. Let's just kill the people who have handicaps. Okay?

That was new scientific thinking. And when you unburdened yourself from all the things that you had learned, all of the things that the Lord had taught you forever, what makes Judeo Christians different than any other religion in the world? What is their main ethic? Their main ethic is love God, love yourself, and love your neighbor. So let's unburden ourselves from God. let's unburden ourselves from the neighbor if they're different than us,

but dig me, I love myself. You can't unburden yourself from the other two. They are changing history in real time. They are changing our ethics in real time. Because they've said overnight, how many times in the last 15 years, did you wake up and there was like a new word you had to learn? You're like, what the hell is it? What? What does that mean? I don't even know what that means. And like everybody was using it.

It was almost like, oh, Kamala Harris. She's the worst. She can't get anybody. Her staff hates her. She's the greatest woman in the world. We just saw it again. They just change overnight. Like there's some secret telegraph going off someplace. Okay, starting tomorrow just to really freak Americans out. We're just going to start calling Kamala a hero and a genius. Americans won't know what hit them. They'll think they woke up in a different world, a parallel universe where like, didn't yesterday everybody think she was an idiot? They're never going to figure it out.

It's so funny. Stand up for what you know is true. You will not save your children if you can. cower now. It's only going to get harder to the police officer from Italy. I feel bad for you. I feel bad because you probably worked your whole entire life to get to that moment. And then some dude comes in and punches you in the face. Why are you throwing everything you have done in the passed away. Why are you throwing everything you know to be true away? Stand up for yourself. If you don't stand up for yourself, who are you expecting to do it for you? Back in just a second.

Let me just tell you about our sponsor. It's Rough Greens. Angela wrote in about our dog's experience with Rough Green. She says, I ordered Rough Greens a few weeks ago while I was listening to Glenn Beck on the place. If his dog loved it, I felt sure my dogs would. Parker loved it right away. I put it into his bowl and he lapped it up much to my surprise. Quinn was a bit more reluctant, didn't seem enthusiastic at first, but after a week, she gobbled it down.

I've noticed a definite increase in energy in both of your dogs. Angela, you just keep watching. You're going to see your dogs have a new life. You really will. This is not a dog food. This is a supplement. Develop a anthropopathic Dr. Dennis Black.

that you sprinkle on the dog's food. Brown food is dead food. You want the green stuff. The folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it that they have a special deal for you. Just go to Roughgreens.com slash back or call 833 Glenn 33. 833 Glenn 33.

Glenn, let me ask you real quick while we're on this topic, because I'm interested in your coverage here. I want to do an Olympic medal ceremony. You have a gold, a silver, and a bronze to give away.

And you have to give it to the people in this story that piss you off the most. Now, you just did a very long rant about the actual boxer who was punched in the face. And the people I would give as a potential medal winners are her, the person who was punched in the face. the person who punched her in the face and the people who sanctioned the event that allowed him to punch her in the face. If you're doing a gold silver bronze as most pissed off who you're giving it to.

In that order reversed. Gold to the sanctioning people to him and then her. So gold to the... But you're leaving out the real gold. Oh, who's the real gold? The real gold goes to everybody who's just sitting here quietly. It really goes to, none of this would have happened.

If they would have started this bull crap and we all would have went, no, let's follow science. I can define a woman and you can too. If we all would have stood up and we wouldn't have coward or we wouldn't have been so afraid of being canceled or I don't want to be unkind. You're not unkind. When was the last time you beat up a transgender person? Okay?

I don't know anybody who's done that. I don't know anybody who has done anything other than, look, that guy's in a dress. Okay, dude, whatever. Okay? That's as hateful as I've ever heard in my lifetime. But because transgendered people are being killed in the hundreds of thousands in your own neighborhood, because of what you have never said before. You better not, you better tell,

you better tell me she's a good looking woman, okay? She's a good, say it, say it, she's a good looking woman. No, I'm not going to. But we all played this game. Well, we all is way too broad for that. I am not accepting that responsibility. There wasn't one day that I or you or probably anybody in this audience played that game. Who played that game?

The left played that game. The media played that game. These sports organizations played that game. You never played that game. No, but did we all fight? And I don't want to unburden us from what has been. But I also don't want to lay too much blame in history because things happen and you just, we were all confused.

We were like, what the hell? This is not going to last. This is not going to last. This is crazy. What is this? Okay, so we just didn't act. We would act differently now. If they unveiled this today, they'd act differently now. I think we would. You know, our pushback really started with drag queen's story hour. When they started bringing it into our children, that's when people stood up and said, okay, all right, enough. But there was enough of a foothold that they had started planting that that system was strong. We played, we played. these games all the time. Look at, look at who has been voted into office. You know, they say,

ah, she wasn't a DEI hire. He said he was going to name a nominee for his vice president, who was black. That was his criteria. That's the definition of DEI hires. We can't have a black, we can't have a white woman here or a white man. A one-legged hemorrhires. A one-legged hemorrhires. A one-legged Maphrodite? She is still white. No, we've got to have a black woman, black woman. Do I hear black woman? Enough. Enough is enough. Enough is enough.

And the IOC, let me tell you something, if America had sense, if Donald Trump were in office, that woman wouldn't have been punched because the United States, we still have enough clout when we decide to use it to say, no, we're not playing that. You let men punch women in the face. We're pulling all of our athletes. And it would have never happened. I don't even know that guy who says that, but it's so cool. We're rapidly coming on the one-year anniversary of the terrible October 7th Hamas attack on Israel.

And to this day, the Holy Land continues to be under attack on multiple fronts. Not only are they still dealing with Hamas, but Hezbollah is constantly destroying critical farmland and people's homes with their rocket attacks. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the forefront of Israel since the beginning of the war, addressing the needs of the most vulnerable. That's why I've partnered with them, and you can too. Your life-saving donations are helping to provide emergency food as well as security needs.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. Kelly Shackleford is with us. He's the president and CEO and chief counsel of First Liberty University, which is something that is well worth your time and your support. You can find them at firstliberty.org. But Kelly is here to talk to us. Wednesday night I did a special, our Wednesday night special on why Biden's final move is to destroy

the Supreme Court. It is so transparent. And yet everything that they're saying, they're protecting the Republic from is exactly what they're doing and why they're changing the Supreme Court or trying to. Kelly, welcome to the program. Hey, thanks, Glenn, for having me on. Yeah, you're, you're frustrating is it right, by the way, on that. The transforming the Supreme Court into another partisan body would destroy the independence of the judiciary and we would all lose our civil liberties. And that's what they want. I mean, that's why this is coming out at this point. And it's, people I think are not paying enough attention to it because they just think, oh, this won't happen. This is the number one goal of their base. If you ask them if they could get anything,

if they got back into office, what would it be? They would say to get rid of this court, because that's the only thing that has been standing in their way. And that's, That's why this is being trotted out now because people will say, well, you can't do this stuff they're asking. You do it. It would take a constitutional amendment. Well, yeah, they're not going to do it between now and the election, but this is the thing that excites their base. And guess what will happen if they win? This is exactly what will happen. Then they'll have the power to do these things. So, Kelly, I talk to people all the time and they're like, yeah, but you know what? They're just empowering Donald Trump. This court has just laid waste to any restrictions on the president when, in my opinion, and I'd love to hear your analysis of this, that is the exact opposite of what the Supreme Court has been doing. They are trying to reduce the power of the president. True or false?

Yeah, well, look, on that point, they're all upset on the presidential immunity decision. I mean, really, they're trying to destroy the court because they don't like just a couple of decisions that they're really upset about. Like, that's a great reason to go back and change the Constitution on areas that have not been changed since the beginning of our country, right? But take the immunity thing. Yeah, does the immunity decision give some protections to the president? Yes, it does. But you have to have some protections. If not, then let's get some DAs in conservative counties across the country to start bringing criminal charges against Biden for negligent homicide for the 13 soldiers who died in Afghanistan.

because of negligence or let's go after Obama for bombing innocent people, which would be negligent homicide. I mean, you can see, you've got to have some immunity for the president in his official duties or else you could, you know, you could criminalize everything. But it can't be absolute or then the president can do what they want. And that's exactly what the court laid out. They laid out, but I think most scholars had always agreed. You can't start having a local deed.

bring criminal charges. We've seen with Trump the kind of crazy stuff that was going on in New York. Right. And it would just lay waste to our country if we allowed that. So I mean, what the court did was, I think if it wasn't Donald Trump, I think, you know, you wouldn't have this sort of outrage. But, but I tell you that, just that alone, you know, that's one of the constitutional amendment. They're going to change the Constitution. And I'll tell you what's really scary, though, and this is what people don't pay attention to, House and the Senate. which if she were to win, they very well might have all three. All it takes is a majority vote to pass justices, five justices, 10 justices, however many they want. This is exactly what the base wants. Take, Kamlo was asked, are you open to court packing? She said absolutely open. Her director of communications for the last year has been a guy by the name of Brian Fallon.

Brian Fallon is the head of demand justice, the most radical pro-court packing group in the country. So this is where they're going, and this could happen as easy as a majority vote if they get power of all three branches. And I think this is what they want because the constitutional amendments are ways to get through. So they're going to be pushing through court packing. And then they can people will think they have rights at that point. They won't. Your rights will be gone because whatever right you think you have, they can just add justices until they get enough to take that away. This is the last thing.

by the way in Venezuela. Yeah, this is the last thing a dictator does before he takes complete control. The other thing, so they were mad about Donald Trump and the immunity thing, but then they stretched it into, and just clear this up, they stretched it into he could murder people. He could just, he could say to the, and I love this example from Joy Reid, because it's exactly what Biden did. He could just tell the NSA, hey, we think he's, he's a, he's a. spy and so they would just come up with all kinds of stuff to make him look guilty and then when he went to another country he could have him assassinated okay yeah just ridiculous can they do that

ridiculous why why is that ridiculous legally because what what the court said was that in in uh the core constitutionally required duties of the president uh that that that you know that they're protected So, you know, if they send people into war or if the type of things that are in the Constitution, the idea that is there some sort of official duty of the president to murder their opponents is ridiculous. I mean, and it just shows how silly they're going to be. Now, this is the first case, so there's going to be more cases. We haven't had this before because we've never had parties trying to criminalize politics and trying to make, you know, bring criminal suits against people that are baseless.

to try to attack people and for political reasons. This is a new, you know, really low in our country. When you criminalize politics, you're getting very dangerous as far as where your country's going. And so, but I tell you, we've got Glenn stuff on, I mean, a lot of people don't understand kind of the history of this. They started on this. As soon as Biden came in office, they had a commission to, quote, reform our Supreme Court. And they have been pushing lots of money just last week, the Washington Post announced. a new $30 million gift coming from one of their donors that is going to try to get this over the line.

And if people want info, I mean, obviously they can always go to firstliberty.org and they can get there. But there's also a special site we set up just for the court packing and the attempts to really transform the Supreme Court into a political body. It's called supreme coup.com. And it has all the data. It has memes you can send out to kind of educate your friends. This is something we've got to talk about. or we need to kill this. Like right now,

67 to 70% of the country doesn't want any of this stuff. If a decision, they don't like the immunity decision, and they're willing to destroy the court over this. But if we educate people, even on the Democratic side, and they understand what this will do, the history of Venezuela and these other countries and how you lose your country when you do this, we can move them.

We move them in the polling in a couple of years in the campaign when they first tried to push this. We've got to force the candidates to answer this question. This is our treasure. This is our rule of law, our freedoms. And again, what they're pushing right now is their number one core thing that speaks this week, the proposals, Kamala saying she agrees is because they want their base excited. And it just takes a majority vote to pack the court.

And once you do that, you're done as a country. Okay. So, Kelly, one last thing. I said at the beginning that they are trying to, the Supreme Court has been signaling with their recent decisions, that they are trying to cut back the power of the administration. So, I mean, I always say to people, if you're afraid of the next president, you know the Constitution is out of balance. because the president should not have any power to come after you or be an obstacle or, you know, or an enemy in your own life. If you're afraid of Biden or Trump, it's because the Constitution is out of whack. And they have been trying to cut back this bureaucratic state.

And that's the other thing that bothers them so much because they can't just rule by dictate. No, you're right. I mean, what you're saying is true. It's the exact opposite of what they're saying, right? If they, if they subjugate the court to a political body, in other words, they can control, they can just put justices on. They can change all these things. They can have, quote, ethics rules where they control the court through that. The only protection of the people against, let's say a party has the executive branch and the legislative branch. The only protection is the judiciary. But if it's gone, you're now, you're not, you're not, you're not. You're now into tyranny. And this is why in 1936 and 37, when FDR tried this, and even though the Democrats had 80 of the Senate seats, I mean, they had an overwhelming control. The country was averaging 1,200 letters a day into the Senate saying, this is tyranny. How dare you? And they could, not only could not get it through, the Senate sponsor in a Senate died of a heart attack. And in the next election, they lost massive numbers of seats, because America understood, if, you know, If you subjugate the judiciary underneath the legislature and the executive branch, you're in danger.

You're in, you're, I mean, you've lost your republic, your constitutional republic. And they're so bloodthirsty over these decisions they don't like, that they're willing to do that. They want the only thing they don't control is the court, and it would do exactly the opposite of what they're saying. It would give the executive massive power and the legislature to do what they wish. I think if we had an honest press that would point out, I mean, they've been bold with their lies before. They've been very, very bold. But to describe what they're fighting against

and having it exactly what they're fighting for is astonishing. And without a real free press that is protecting the people and looking out for their interest instead of a party's interest, I'm not sure you'd get those letters. to Congress or those emails to Congress now because we're uneducated on our own system of government and half the country just swallows these unbelievable lies. Yes. I mean, I'll tell you an example of that. You're right. I was on C-SPAN yesterday to talk about this and the calls coming in were just unbelievable. One of the callers called in and said,

well, the reason we should get rid of the Supreme Court is because they allowed Trump to stay on the ballot. And I said, the last time we took somebody off the ballot in this country was Abraham Lincoln taken off of 11 ballots right before the Civil War. I said, you're complaining of a decision by our current Supreme Court that was 9-0. And yet that is the justification for us to get rid of the United States Supreme Court and our constitutional freedoms in the process. people people are not talking about this they look at this as like a political move by Biden between now and the election but the reason it is their main political move is because if they win this is what their base wants and we've got to educate people we've got to force people out comma needs to be asked you know and Trump and he'll answer it I think the right way but

comma needs to be asked are you in favor in court packing she can't answer that question because if she does she'll she'll scare the country if she says yes and if she says no the base will be furious because that's what they're planning to do.

All right. So let's get into some sound here that we just want to cover here just a little bit.

Let's start with Corrine Jean-Pierre about the plea deal on 9-11 that everybody is so happy about. Let's let those people. get the death penalty. What do they do? They only killed 3,000 people. Here's Karin Jean-Pierre. And does he have a message to some of the 9-11 families who wanted to see a full trial, who wanted to see this kind of come to a fuller process? So look, this is basically what Jake said. This is something that we had no involvement in. He didn't have any involvement in. And so the White House played no role in this process. And the president directed his team to consult as appropriate with officials and lawyers and Department of Defense, obviously.

And, you know, we have said this before. You know, we are, you know, our hearts go out to the families who lost the loved ones on that day. And, you know, the president of 9-11 has honored them every year. And the families, again, who lost their loved one on that terrible day. Okay, all right. Well, I feel like they've got things under control there at the White House. Now, Joe Biden is there on the tarmac waiting for the American citizens imprisoned in Russia. And Biden is there, and he spots a cute little girl.

Oh, God. Cut two. You all know we have a tradition in the Biden family. We're saying, happy birthday. On a new birthday, ready? All of you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear you. Happy birthday to you. Remember, no serious guy. You're dating advice. Yeah, that's right. She's also his daughter. I love you.

Oh, isn't that great. Hugging her, giving her a little kiss, keeping her close, you know what I mean? Hey, no serious dating until you're 30. I'm not interested after 30. So we had that going on. Now, in this hostage release, what was really nice was Joe Biden said, you know, Donald Trump couldn't have gotten this deal done. He wouldn't have done this, you know.

I got Putin on the horn and we made a deal. Well, let's talk about that here for a second. There's a couple of things that are wrong with that. First of all, why do you think Putin got on the phone with you right at election time? Do you think he's for Donald Trump? Or is he for you being president? So he's making a deal which makes you look good. What does that tell you?

Does that tell you that Putin is afraid of you? No, he's doing PR for you. He wants the Biden administration, not the Trump administration. Hello, ding-dong. Also, you did make a deal and it was lousy for us. Why is it? They got more than we got. Well, why? Because you're desperate. You're desperate. That's why. And he knows that. And he wants to play in to the political narrative here in America. Okay. So now when he's on the tarmac, Kamala has her first unscripted moment in the last couple of weeks. they're talking to her in Biden and he's just standing there like,

I have no idea what she's saying. And they say, you know, any comments on what's about to happen? And here's what Kamala says, 21, please. This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding, significant significance of diplomacy and strengthening alliances. This is an incredible day.

What did she just say? It's whatever circular. Oh, my gosh. By the way, Glenn, that is, I believe, officially the first question she's been asked. I may have missed something. I know Rupal asked her a couple questions. So I'm not counting those, but I'm saying from a reporter, and I believe it was, how do you feel about this amazing thing that

happened. But she, that's, I believe, the first question she's been asked. And it was the easiest question imaginable. Basically, compliment yourself. And she still, she still blew it. We've got to get her, you just got to get her on, on, you got to get her in front of these cameras. It just, as soon as as people see this, you know, this, this little boomlet goes away. I, I tell you, I have a, I have a real problem with you, Stu, because you're so racist. She's still reeling from President Trump, you know, saying, I thought she was an Indian. And everybody, everybody on the press, and they know what they're doing. They are, they are taking and twisting his words. He's not saying she wasn't black. He was making a comment of, wait, but she never called herself black

until this point in the election. And then when she needed the black vote, she said, oh, I'm black. Here she is. Kamala Harris, 2019, cut 22. Okay. It's an Indian recipe. Yes. Because you are idiot. Yes. Okay.

And I don't know that everybody knows that. But I find that wherever I go and I see Indian people, the supermarket on the street, everyone's like, you know, Kamala Harris is Indian, right? It's like our thing we're so excited about to have you running for president. Yeah. So we're both Indian. Yes. But actually, we're both South Indian.

Okay. Yes. You look like. Wait, wait, hold on. Can we, we need to stop and address one thing here. What Mindy Kaling just said has. has never occurred. Never, ever,

one time in her life did this incredibly famous person who was on one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time, have someone walk up to her and say, did you know Kamala Harris was Indian? That story never, ever, ever occurred.

That is complete nonsense. I just want to at least get that on the record. Okay. Next, here's Kamala. She's not black. She's Indian. Listen. Today on August 15th, 2020, I stand before you as the first candidate for Vice President of the United States of South Asian descent. Okay. Now, nobody's, nobody is not, nobody is saying she's not black. Okay, yes, she's black, she's half black, she's half Indian. we know how science works.

You're the ones confused about what's a woman. So we got it. Her dad was black. Her mom was Indian. Even Don Lemon, when she started saying that she was black, he was starting to be offended because he's like, you know, she's calling herself African American. Listen, this is Don Lemon.

Black woman. Okay, that's why I agree with that. I agree with that, but is she African-American? No, no, no, no, no, no. But is she African-American? There's a difference. There's nothing wrong with that. No one is trying to take anything away from her.

I think you're falling into the trap of that. All she had to do was say, I'm black. Remember how much trouble he got in for that? She's not African-American. No, she's not. She's Jamaican Indian. And there's nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that.

Except she uses it to play on constituents. That's the only thing Donald Trump was saying. He's not questioning who she is. We all know who she is now. But she said she was Indian when she was needing the Indian vote. And then she's black when she needs the black vote. She's both. Yeah.

And the way, please. It's so bad. The way he actually said it was and, you know, she turned black a couple years ago. And like they are so dishonest that they're acting as if they think. think he thought she just turned black, like a literal statement. Now, they know exactly what they're doing, but it's amazing as well. This is coming from the same people who say you can change races based on just saying it. Right? Like, they should be, this is like the Rachel Dolazol thing. If it was literal, they would be supporting it. Right. If she just was Indian her

whole life and just said she was black, they would then say she's now black. But because Donald Trump made the point in a critical way, all of a sudden that's not possible. It's a racist to even suggest. I know. I know. So I would like to suggest that she's not only Jamaican Indian, black, but she's also Southern because, you know, she was raised in Berkeley. That's Southern California, isn't it? Which explains her speech this week with a Southern accent. 26. We're going to do it again in 2024. That is Southern California.

I mean, she's all over it. All over it. You know, I don't know if you heard Michael Malice this week, but I love Michael Malice and what he said on Joe Rogan this week about Kamala Harris. If you're going after Officer Harris,

you're either racist or sexist or ablest. Right. So they will use. Yeah, because she's a retard. She's literally retarded. I mean, Ukraine is a country in Europe, and Russia is another country and a powerful country, and Russia invaded Ukraine, and that's wrong. What's really important is what can be unburdened by what has been. I think of her as America's wine mom, because it seems like she's three deep by noon, and she's got the three phases of wine mom.

She's got happy drunk. Oh my God. This cereal's got around. it on it. It's so great. Cackling, cackling. Then there is trying to drunk at work where you're trying to make sense, but you don't. Space is around us all and unites us all and inspires us all. And then there's, I'm being stern so you don't realize how plastered I am and I'm making a point. Dr. Little Girl was me. Now I'm going to go upstairs and don't knock on the door because I'm going to pass out. So those are her three ways she talks, and those are the wine mon phases.

Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So basically that's wrong. Can I tell you something, though? When I listen to that, I just think this is so vapid.

But then I think, how many Americans need it broken down that way? certainly her voters do yeah it's a bigger country and so then that's wrong oh okay thank you mamala

I appreciate that now I understand big things big countries shouldn't go into little countries can little countries go into big countries would that be wrong I mean

it is it's just it's amazing do we know Glenn how many various ceilings she would be busting through with this because we know we'd have the first black woman we would have the first woman

we would have the first Indian we would have the first South Asian we would also have the first Asian and this one in particularly is bothersome because at some point like I don't know maybe it's 20

somewhere in the 20 years from now some great grandson or granddaughter of a person, a Japanese American who was put into internment camps by the president that every Democrat thinks is the best president of all time is going to rise to power and maybe be elected president. And they're going to be like, actually, you're the second Asian president. Sorry, Kamala won back in 20, 24, God forbid. And sorry, you don't count. You didn't break any ceilings. You're a giant zilch. You get no recognition. Sorry about that. Good night. I mean,

that's sad. It's, uh, did you hear the, the flashback, uh, of Gerald Ford from 1978 or 79, where he was asked, he was running against Ronald Reagan at the time. And they're in the primaries. And he's asked by this little girl, uh, you know, I'm eight years old. And I want to see someday a female president. What is it going to take? What advice would you give an eight-year-old girl for he wants to be president? Okay. So he says, well, I'll tell you, we'll have a female president. It is inevitable in the future, but let me tell you how it's going to come. This is 1978 or 79. Let me tell you how it's going to come. Either the Democrats or the Republicans are eventually going to nominate a woman to be the vice president.

and the vice president will be serving in that administration until the president dies or bows out. And that's how she'll become president. That will be your first president. Really? I have not heard that. That's an incredible. Isn't that crazy? Bizarre moment.

I mean, why would he, I mean, was he just so convinced American hated women or was he convinced they were sexist? Or what was the reasoning for that? I don't know. I would imagine that it would, he didn't think that kind of change could be made. Really?

For a president. Again, and this is the 70s. So it's a different era. I understand. But I don't know. Run by white men keeping women down. That's a fact of that quote. Yeah.

It's fascinating. All right. More in just a second. Let me tell you about our sponsor. I sponsor this half hour is Relief Factor Sleep. Deep thoughts with Glenn Beck.

Well, Stu, another New York Times bestseller in chasing embers. Wow. And, yeah. And, you know, I said, yeah, I've been saying I don't care if it's New York Times bestseller, but But I think some people in the audience might care. You know, it was on the bestseller list.

And the only reason why it matters to me is because that's what gets into the airports. If it's on the bestseller list, then it goes into the airports and goes into stores, and then they have to put it up front and everything else. But I think what's happening is I think some people are trying to send a message to the rest of, well, the rest of the world. We would like good stories. We would like stories of good people. You know, let me tell you, this is a story of two kids, revolves around two kids, different families, different backgrounds.

Gosh, I'm trying to think. I think that's all I can tell you about them because we don't ever describe their race or their color or anything about ethnicity or their sex, who they desire to have sex with or if they think they're a boy or a girl. None of that is in that. None of that is in chasing embers. It's just teenagers, story of teenagers that are weird, you know. They're not asexual bloggers or racist or, you know, kind of obnoxious feminist. There has nothing to do with identity. What they're weird about is they're trying to find the truth. They want to know if truth matters. They want to know what the truth is.

They've been filled with lies their whole life. How do you find the truth, especially if you're living in a dystopian world? like they are in Chasing Embers. Available now, New York Times bestseller again. Thank you. Thank you, thank you for your support. I think you're going to love this book. It's a dystopian thriller. It is made for young adults,

been pouring her heart and soul into this. And I was so excited to call her and say, New York Times bestseller, you're an author. Congratulations. That's really cool. And it was, you know, mainly, she's the one that should get the credit for this. I mean, let's just, oh, absolutely. What did you do? You know? Yeah, that's really nothing. You did nothing. I mean, really, to be honest about it. I mean, it's all really about her, and that makes me more comfortable admitting it. Well, wait. All right, you're sick, twisted freak.

Thank you so much for listening. I had lunch with Dennis Quaid yesterday. He came over to the house here in the mountains. And what a great guy. Really, really sharp, very spiritually grounded.

And we recorded a special that's going to happen in a couple of weeks when his new movie comes out, Ronald Reagan. But he came in and I have a piano. in the great Roman, and he said, who plays piano? And I said, not me. I'm trying, but not me. And he walked away from it. And then he comes back and he's ready for the interview. And he comes back and he walks in and he stands in front of the piano.

And he just starts playing great balls of fire. It was unbelievable. The cameras were on, thank God. So we captured it. But it was unbelievable. And he learned that from Jerry Lee Lewis. But we were talking. talking about his new movie, Reagan, that's coming out. And I can't wait to you to hear this interview because he's, Reagan was his hero. And he has a lot to say and a lot of insight on what we need to do as a people, what we should be looking for. And he doesn't, not necessarily political, just much more, you know, principle wise. But it was, it was great. And in a couple of weeks, when is this? It's September 20th and 20th.

first at Mercury Studios. I'm opening up our kind of Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory and inviting some of the best American artists to come in. They've been working with me on trying to put narratives, American narratives back into art instead of just a barn, let's tell a story. And one of the best guys that is out there that is painting really great stuff that he knows how to tell a story is Chris Hopkins. He has done several Super Bowl themes. He has, he did the Indiana Jones marquee art and everything. So he knows how to tell a story like that. I had him send me one of his paintings saluting Reagan, which is he's going to put into the art show. And it is so Norman Rockwell. It's this kid in a Cubs.

scout uniform with his dog sitting down and he sees this picture or this poster on the wall of Reagan and he stands there and he salutes him. It's just so cool. And we're fortunate to have Chris with us now and also at the art show in September. Hi, Chris. How you doing, Glenn? I'm doing great. I'm doing great. Can I ask him? By the way, Dennis Quaid who plays Reagan, he saw your art yesterday. He was like, oh, that's unbelievable. Just unbelievable. I can't wait to see the actual you know, canvas. Well, it's a real honor for Dennis to say that and for you to take the appreciation you do. And what I consider a really important show coming up anyway.

Yeah, thank you. So you are one of the guys who really took this to heart. And you did several paintings. You have the Reagan one. You also have the Tuskegee Airman, which is just beautiful. And I was surprised that you took on. the vampire slayer kit. We ask these artists to go through our museum,

and we have a vampire, it's actual vampire slaying kit from like 1850 or something from Europe. And it's crazy. I mean, it's just crazy. But you took that on and you put that into art. Why did you pick that one? It just looked like fun. Really, nothing more onerous than that.

Yeah. It's just crazy. And then you also took on World War II. Tell me about that painting. Well, that one was General McCullough. And, you know, during the Battle of the Bulge, and he was surrounded by the Vermon in Belgium. And there was actually no way out. And this is very close to Christmas when he was given an ultimatum by the Germans.

In fact, it was Christmas Eve. And he was rolling out of bed when he read. this ultimately made him for surrender and he was half asleep and he asked his aide what is this they want to surrender to us and his aide said no they're demanding our surrender and it's for us where we're on nuts so he gets up he says he's at his table fully dressed and awake he says what kind of response should i give these guys and his aides started laughing said well your initial response seemed pretty hard to beat uh so you mean nuts oh yeah so he wrote it out and they typed up and gave it to the germans and the Germans said, well, what does this mean?

It's just good or bad? And they said, no, that means you should surrender to us. They hung in there until Patton's Third Army came in and freed them and everything. So it's quite a story. I have to tell you. I love the stories of in the darkest hours, and there's lots of them. In the darkest hours, these guys would, I mean, they just barrel laugh. And, I mean, they just believed in their cause.

They knew that they might die. But they were, they enjoyed the moments that they had. And it's, it's inspiring. It's really inspiring. Well, in the darkest moments, that's when most or many people shine their brightest. And that was certainly true in this case. And many that happened in that darkness that surrounded World War II. When I look at the Reagan poster and Dennis,

Quaid and I talked about this yesterday. Reagan, it was a different era entirely. We still had the majority of the population liked America, was proud of America, wanted to be a better America, but still America. Does this exist anymore? What is the reaction when you have people see your Reagan painting? Well, it's, to me, it's been over. overall positive. Because I mean, who was it? Was a Sir Austin Chamberlain who said that we live in, you know, and what is interesting times?

And that was, again, quoted by, you know, Robert Kennedy. And we have the interesting times we're in now, as we seem to be more divided than ever. We've also got a specter hanging in front of us, in my opinion, and we called AI. And these are much, I guess, interesting, but not in a good way. And I think one, and I'm kind of answering your question in a roundabout way, but one of the things about your show that I think would remedy or at least put a bandy in some of this is artwork has a tendency to bring people together. And you can, you know, that can be done with people with different maybe extreme points of view. And that's happened to me before.

And when I did some Tuskegee Airmen, I had a show open up here at the Seattle Museum of Flight. And we had some former Black Panthers there. we also had some people who were, you know, from the Tea Party at that time. And they were there for one thing, and that was, well, two things, either to see the artwork and become aware of it and to pay homage to the Tuskegee Airmen. And it was nothing but goodwill throughout that whole hall between everybody, the Black Panthers and the Tea Party. And this is one of the things I think you could try to do,

because we are at a very polarizing time now. And if we just take the time to even talk to one another, maybe we could hear something that we can maybe not accept or agree with, but we can absolutely be respectful and respectfully disagree with and say, hey, we can still work on things together. And that was my long answer. Do artists, do they believe they can create this art and not be polar? I mean, one of the things that I really wanted to do is art tell stories.

And we have so much hotel art now that are not telling, they're not telling stories. They're not inspiring. They're pretty, but they're not inspiring anything. Where does that come from? Why are we doing that more? I think a lot of it has to do with just the modern times. We are a lot of the things, again, like AI and whatnot, because in the era before we had that, we had people like, well, like Norman Rockwell, like J.C. Liondecker, like Howard

Hamler Christie and all these wonderful illustrators and what their jobs were, you know, pay their bills were to tell stories. They had to know perspective. They had to know how to draw people. They had to know how to draw portraits. All of those things, which I think are becoming more and more lost. And now that we're on the threshold of AI doing artwork for us, I think that could very well be a nail in the coffin of the expression of the human soul. And this is one of the things these guys had in their work.

It was soul. It was just soul in their paintings and their layouts and everything. And that is the one thing I hope that we do not lose, you know. Well, we're trying our best to encourage you guys. And that's why we have the American Narratives in Fine Arts Show. It is the artists are from, you know, coming from all over the United States. Some of them, I think, are from foreign countries. But they're just great artists that want to tell the American story.

and it's American Narratives in Fine Art.com. You can get all the information at glenbeck.com right now. Get your tickets to come. It's a different show. It is not being judged by experts. It'll be judged by you. You can buy the art, look at the art, but it's also put together with the museum artifacts.

So whatever artifacts that inspired these guys to come up with the art is with the art. And so it's something that you can see, real history and then see inspirational art to tell that history. And it happens at the Mercury Studios, September 20th and 21st. You don't want to miss it in Dallas. Chris, I can't wait to meet you and shake your hands. And I cannot wait to see that Reagan painting in person. It's beautiful. Well, I really appreciate it, Glenn. And your honor, this afternoon, I think I'm going to take off from work and go drop a line in the Scadgett River up there by Mount Vernon. So you can't get a stock eye or something.

Where do you live, Chris? I live in Everett, but I'm from Mount Vernon originally. Oh, my gosh. Were you there when I was living there? I was 18 and what? Yeah. I moved out of there, and I think 1965 when I was a kid. Oh, wow.

My father moved, we moved to Southern Oregon, and then from there was all over the place. And then I ended up back up here living in Everett. but I know it's going to be a good sunset. I'm going to get a sack of oysters and sit out on the bank and see what we can get. Shut up. I wish you were here, Blank. I know. I wish I was too.

Chris, thank you so much. God bless. Thank you. Bye-bye. Yeah. All right. Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

There's doing a job, and then there's doing a job so well you stand out in the crowd. And that is the kind of person that we seek at real estate agents, I trust. This is just a referral service for you. We really have worked hard. We have a team that vets these people, and I mean six ways to Sunday. And then we interview the people who have used the real estate agents. We stay in touch all the way through the process to make sure that you're getting the world-class service that you deserve when you're buying or selling a house. If you have somebody who is the expert, it makes things so much easier.

And that's who these real estate agents are. They have the best practices down. They have the website that is trafficked, so your house will be seen right away by a butload of people. The agents we work with, I can't wait for you to meet them. And I say that because I get so many people that will write to me and say, I feel like I have a new friend. After this, we're still in touch. You're going to like these people, and they're very good at what they do. Real estate agents, I trust.com.

It's a big, it's a big deal. It's a march for children. First time there's been a march for children in, in Washington, D.C. We'll talk about that in just a minute. I hope people come to this. Do you think anybody's going to come to this art show, Stu? Yeah, I do. They usually come to these types of events. I mean, it's not for everybody,

right? But it's one of those things that even if you're not like into art, you're going to find a lot, I think that you enjoy, especially if you happen to be someone who really appreciates America and is used to this world, you know, angering you. Yeah. I mean, I have to tell you, I, you know, the one thing, I don't like going into art galleries because, you know, somebody snoddy is going to talk to you and then you're going to feel stupid and I hate that. I just hate it.

Because I just know what I like. I don't really care. You know, oh, look at the brush strokes here. Okay, well, that's cool. an artist, I can maybe appreciate that, but the average person doesn't, and I don't want to hear all the snotty gobbledygook that raises the price. And so I wanted to put something together, because the whole point of this is to teach and to show artists that there is an appetite for art that tells stories of heroes. And so I'm hoping that people will show up,

but it's a combination of a museum as well. I don't think this has ever been done. before. And these artists are amazing. These are some of the best. I mean, I was doing a interview with the art magazine on this the other day. And the guy said, how did you get these people to come? And I said, I have no idea. He's like, Glenn, these are some of the best artists in America living today. And I'm like, I know. And I have no idea why they're coming or how we convince them. But I'm glad they're coming. So please join us. To be clear, there's going to be some great artists, but, you know, no one of Hunter Biden's ability. Oh, well, I don't think, no, no.

We didn't even, we didn't even think of inviting him, you know. We didn't even, didn't even. I heard he's available. Hunter Biden? No. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they've had more free time as of late. Yeah.

No longer need to run a campaign. There's a lot of free time going around for Hunter. So I think he could show up. He could paint stuff for you whenever you need it. I wouldn't well I've got a room that could be painted he's uh I would not trust him I would not trust him with that job

I wonder how much is art's going to be worth now I mean if he did an art show again next summer I wonder how much it would be worth then hmmn't that be interesting oh my I bet you ever go to the bargain basement uh like you go to a music store and they've got like eight track cassettes still somehow and a bargain I think

It's going to be in that same bin. All right. Alveda King, long-time friend of the program, and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, joins us in just a minute. Stand by and get ready for the March for Children this summer. America, it is Friday, and there's something very exciting

that is going on at the end of this month. We're in August. Now, at the end of this month, I'm going to be in Washington, D.C., and it feels a lot like it did when we did restoring honor back years and years ago in Washington, D.C. in front of the Lincoln Memorial. This time we're going to be in front of the Jefferson Memorial, and Alveda King is going to be a partner in it with me again. She is one of the leaders of the March for Kids, and she's asked me to be a captain along with her for the march, and she's asked me to be a captain along with her for the march, and she's, with us. We're about to enter Alveda King's house in 60 seconds. Stand by. Are you living off the grid? And I mean completely off the grid. If you're listening to this show on a crank radio, you have no phone, no computer, no internet, no smart refrigerator, no that stuff,

then, you know, you probably don't need life lock. I'm living almost entirely off the grid right now, but I have all of this stuff coming in, you know, as firewalled as everything is, they still need things like life lock. Let's be real. It is tough to protect everything that you have. You expose your personal information every day. I'm going to be doing something on

My dear, dear friend, Dr. Alveda King, I don't know if you even remember this, doctor, but you sent me an old, it's like a poster or a print of your uncle and the other martyrs. And I just hung it back up on my wall here at the ranch just the other day. And I was thinking about you. How are you? She didn't hear me.

Is she there? I'm here. I'm sorry, Glenn. I was on mute. you are. I absolutely remember. You remember when we did that, you did restoring honor, you asked me to stand with you. Yeah. I remember he told me that you and your wife get on your knees and pray when your children were growing up with the door open so they could see you praying. I remember so many things as we reflect. Now we're going with the moms in a few days. We're going to stand with the moms

right back in the D.C. area. So I'm ready to do it again, my brother. I remember. Yes, I remember. Yes, I remember. I'm with you. So tell us about why this is so important and what's going to happen. We are going to actually march peacefully, non-violently, and prayerfully, and we're going to stand in the nation's capital once again and implore God to hear us and help to rescue not only this generation and not only the children, but for those who come. And, and you know, we know what the power of prayer can do. We can, we know what the power of unity can do. We know moms of, uh, for liberty and mothers and, you know, dads across American grandparents even impacted their election a little while back. They were so outraged at what was happening to their children that they took

over many of the schoolboys in this country. And so I'm just saying, we're going to encourage people did not give up to fear not, to be engaged, to be present, and to trust God. Now, you know, Glenn, I don't worship you. I worship God. You know that. But I always was so glad to be on the Glenn Beck show, it was something to be on the Glenn Beck show. So the sheriff airways with you now.

I'm sorry about the background noise. To share the air with. Not a problem. 24. It's amazing. And you've been occupying airspace forever. and you do it well. Yeah.

Thank you. Well, Evita, you know, when we did restoring honor together, you could feel, everybody felt it that was there. It was not a political, yeah. Yeah, it was not a political rally. It was much more of a spiritual movement that really marked people. Is this the kind of feeling that you're expecting again at the Jefferson Memorial? There was an impromptu flyover with us in the airways when we were there.

Then I'm expecting the, I expect the people of America, because when they hear you, when they hear me, we're always saying, be courageous. Have faith, have hope, have love, don't give back, give up, fight back spiritually. You know, we don't have to do violence. We can fight with prayer. We can fight on our knees, man. So I'm expecting that, you know, this is going to move the hearts of America. I'm asking God to touch people's hearts, to let them not be afraid, but to be present. Be present.

Don't be violent. Don't be afraid. Don't be angry. Be present. Would you tell the story of the time that you spent in jail and your father let you spend the night in jail and what that was all about? Because I think that's important when you look at a march and how serious you are when you say, no, this is not about anger. It is not about anger.

And I remember it was in the 1960s. I was a youth organizer, and we had been trained well to not fight, not to be violent, not to answer the taunts, just sing and pray and march for freedom. And that's what we did. However, on this particular occasion, we had gone to City Hall and we did what was called a lion. And you may have seen some of the pro-life youth do that in D.C., they lay down on the ground and pray and won't get up. And so one of the officers stomped in my girlfriend's stomach.

And she was defenseless. I was about 128 pounds, Glenn, if you can imagine that then. I literally pulled the man off of her and threw him against the wall. I had that much adrenaline. So obviously you cannot accost an officer of the law. You can't do that. So they tried to hold me. But I was so upset they had stumped in my girlfriend's stomach.

So they threw me in the paddy wagon They shot some kind of nerve gas in my arm And threw me in the patio wagon I get to jail Daddy had gone on home He led the peaceful part of it He had gone home I'm in jail

Come give me daddy He said no We're supposed to be nonviolent I want you just sit there And think about that I'll see you tomorrow And I had to go back And study the principles of nonvalent

I had to ask the Lord to forgive me I had to pray all night Because I couldn't sit down in that jail cell either way it had a hole in the floor, a nasty, funny-looking toilet, and some water attached to the toilet. Water found out. I was like, oh, my God. So I just prayed all night.

And he said, if you're going to be in this fight, you're going to have to love, you're going to have to repent, you're going to have to forgive, you're going to have to accept that there's one blood and one human race, you're not different races, and you cannot hate anybody. And he taught me that when his brother was shot, I remember that when he was killed and thrown in the pool, my granddaddy, when my grandmother was shot in 74. Granddaddy went to the jail and told the man who shot his wife, he forgave him.

I was like, how can you do that? But I've learned. And so that's who you know today, Glenn. And you've seen me in action. We've been out on the front lines, even when we went down. Oh, yeah. When we went down to the border, and that was a high-risk trip you took us on, and we saw those children who were suffering so much.

My God, I've been on the front lines a few many times, and I'm glad that you are still occupying the airway. I'm so glad you're still doing it, Glenn, and giving me a chance to put my voice out here today. I'm so glad. Well, you know I love you, Alvita. I just love you like a sister. You are just the greatest, and it's an honor to know you. Yeah.

And I will just, I'm thrilled to be a March captain, write a song, write along with you. There's a couple of other people, let me see if I have this, that have just been invited. Tulsi Gabbard is also going to be a March captain, and she, he's going to be speaking. Okay. And several other people are coming. And this is not a political rally. It is not political.

Right. It is standing against the things that, you know, are trying to take our children away from the parents and make the government a parent. But that shouldn't be political. No, it's life, liberty. The pursuit of happiness, the opportunity for parents to be present in their children's lives to make wise decisions for their safety and protection. This is what it is.

It's not political. As a matter of fact, you know, I have stepped away from politics, and I began to pray. You know that about me. So it's not political. It's emphasized. And anybody who's saying, well, if it's not political, yeah, I can come because I'm not going to vote.

I'm not political. Yes, you are going to vote. You better vote for Christian values, and you better do it quick. But it's not political, but it doesn't let you off the hook. We better vote. Christian values, Glenn, we better. We've got to do it.

Yeah. Thank you so much. Alveda King, always great. We'll talk again and we'll see you in a couple of weeks in Washington, D.C. Yes, my friend. God bless. God bless you. That is the March for Children.

You can go to MarchforKids.com. MarchforKids.com and find out all about it. You need to encourage your church, your neighborhood, your friends. We need to stand up. And it is going to be a day of prayer and celebration and, yes, strong words because the words that are going to be spoken are true. These are our children. They do not belong to the government. They do not belong to the world of science to be experimented on.

We have to stand up for our children. And part of that is taking on the education system, the medical system. system, et cetera, et cetera. And we can't be wusses about it. If we don't stand up for our kids, nobody else will. MarchforKids.com. That's MarchforKids.com. It's coming up at the end of August. All right. Our sponsor, this half hour is Lear Capital. So the national debt this week. Hey, congratulations. Just surpassed $35 trillion. Now, if you break $35 trillion down, that's more than $100,000 per man, woman, and child. Now, imagine how much it is per taxpayer, because not every man, woman, and child is a taxpayer,

but if we spend it out evenly, $100,000 is what you owed. But that does not include the personal debt, the corporate debt, state and local debt. That comes out to $101 trillion, or nearly $300,000 for every man, woman, and child. How do you think they're going to solve this? Your grandchildren will be born owing about a million dollars very soon. How do you solve it? Hello, digital dollar and wealth confiscation. You are about to enter Vegas.

And number eight on the New York Times best-selling list.

We're really thrilled that you and your families are enjoying. Let me read just a couple of things. Katie wrote in, I ordered this book for my two daughters, 12 and 14. We received it on Friday. By Monday morning, they had both read it,

and we're both asking if it was a series and there are more. Both love the book and highly recommend. Well, if it continues to sell the way it is, there will be follow-ups. We have eight in this series, and it's an unbelievable story as you get into it. We hope we can keep this story going,

but it is really up to you. Of course, if you didn't read the book, like this one lone reviewer did, they wrote, this book is a blatant attempt to normalize extreme right-wing viewpoints. The effort by moms for liberty to place this book into public schools is frightening, especially when far less controversial books have been banned due to political ideology. I have to tell you, there is nothing controversial in this, but we don't talk about Democrats, Republicans, we don't talk about world economic, we don't talk about anything.

This is a future dystopian society that was America and everything was banned. This story has been told many times. The reason why they don't like it is because it was written with the intent to get kids to go down rabbit holes and learn about true history. It was extraordinarily difficult to write, so it wasn't preachy, it didn't seem like it had an agenda. It's just a great story. That's all it is. It's a great story. but there are all kinds of hidden Easter eggs in this book that maybe we should talk about at some point.

And if your kids are really into it, they'll find those Easter eggs. But none of them is about politics. But they go on, planting ideas of rebellion and violence in the minds of our children is not representative of our country's true values. These viewpoints should not be normalized and indoctrination in the youth. Really? If you read Chasing Embers, you'd be laughing right now. There's no right-wing extremism in it. But you might have a hard time finding it in your bookstore

because a lot of them are being hidden in other parts of the bookstores. So that's so clever of them, isn't it? I want you to be able to find their books. I don't care. I don't care what you read. Read anything. You should read everything. This is a book for you or any teenager in your life.

life. It just tells the truth, and it's a great story. Chasing embers by me and Michaela G. Hendrick, it's available now. And congratulations to Michaela on her first New York Times bestselling book. All right. Stu, we have Steve Dase coming in. We're going to talk about the Trump campaign and the Kamala Harris campaign. how they're rewriting everything right now. And they're completely going off of a new playbook. And they're changing the way they're no longer saying he's a threat to democracy. They're just saying he's weird. They've softened an awful lot of stuff. And they're rewriting her history. We're going to talk to Steve about that. And this makes sense, of course, if you are losing,

what you want to do is try something different, right? And they have been losing, I think, with this type of attack most of the time against Donald Trump, the sort of screeching, always escalating danger type of warning with more and more exclamation points at the end of he's taking our democracy. I mean, just has a shelf life. I think people are no, it doesn't affect people anymore. And so they are trying something different. I mean, and that's unfortunately, I think, smart,

whether it actually lasts and works, I don't know. it's interesting how you're not hearing about any of the trials you're not hearing about any of that stuff it's all gone it just all went away because it wasn't ever about seeking the truth it wasn't ever about justice it was about painting somebody as an as an evil person that is just trying to take over the world who's just a horrible person and a horrible criminal it was never about any of that none of it

otherwise why wouldn't you still be pursuing it you're not pursuing it because it was only a political tactic. That's it. Right. That's it. Yeah. I mean, obviously they didn't mean this, right? Like, you know, a lot of people pointed out after the assassination attempt,

if he's Hitler, why are you wishing him well? Like, it doesn't really make any sense. But also, it doesn't make any sense that his hand, they would, they would fund in primaries his hand chosen candidates because they thought they would be more easily beaten in the general elections. Now, if you really thought this was a Hitlerian movement, I mean, that would be very strange behavior. You wouldn't want to risk that type of thing. But, you know, it kind of proves that they don't really believe that, but they want to win. They want to hold on to power, and that's much more important to them than anything else. You know, I think they're also going to have a hard

time with women. You know, if you look, and Steve can probably talk about this, if you look, the Democrats haven't won with married women since 1996. Did you know that? Since 1996, they have not won with married women. And that's why they're pushing all of this ideology. Don't marry. Don't have kids. Marriage is, you know, just a construct.

All of this garbage. Because they know once people get married, once they have children, they start to, you know, it's Churchill. You know, if you weren't a liberal when you were young, when you were 20, you know, you had no heart. If you're not a conservative by 50, you have no head. You know, there's a balance between those two things that we should be striving for. But that's why it works so well with young people. And that's why it is, I mean, young women are picking up this progressive movement, and they are moving way left off.

on it and and embracing it young women young men are 20 points the other direction yeah i mean yeah i mean republicans win with married men single men and married women and democrats only win with single women but it's you know the other numbers are close and it's enough to push them over the barrier a lot of times and again we are in an era i mentioned this the other day where young women spend more time with their cats actively engaged with their cats than human beings. Now, I don't want to, I don't want you to think that's a joke.

That is true. That this just came out. Repeat it. Young women that are pet owners spend more time actively engaged with their pets than they do with human beings. Actively engaged

with their cat more than human beings. I don't know. That doesn't sound good. What could possibly go wrong with that? Pass the miami-mix. Bob wrote in about his experience with Relief Factory. He says, Relief Factor is amazing. Bottom line is, it worked for me.

Steve Dease coming up next. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Friday. I have a friend that was over the house last night and he, since I last saw him, he had died clinically dead on the table and came back and he said, Glenn, that your life flashes

before your eyes is absolutely true. And he said it was the weirdest experience. He said, I've changed so much from them, from them, because I realized I wasn't doing all that I could do. I had dropped the ball in so many places. We are now, I would like your political life to flash in front of your eyes here. Because 45 days from now, Pennsylvanians begin to vote. And we go from a theory of, yeah, it would be great and yeah, I'm fighting for to the reality of here's what people did. And Steve Days is here. I know, Steve, you have been on.

the Trump bandwagon now that the, you know, primaries are over, you've gotten what every Republican, you know, has always been told to do. And that is, get on the train. And you're on the train now and supporting Donald Trump. And you're concerned about what you're seeing. I saw your tweet this morning that you think that we might, we should be asking ourselves some honest questions about our messaging. Explain. I think, and I think this is actually a campaign thing. Like, I don't want to change any of this disruption and the disruptive traits that Trump brings to the table. He's been accused.

Like, for instance, with the journalists this week. Oh, that was masterful. That was masterful. And you could just see in the audience, the crowd was, the crowd was turning in his favor almost from the jump when he pushed back on her. What you need a campaign to do, though. And in some respects, Glenn, this is kind of the opposite of what I thought when I was, when I was with the DeSantis campaign in the primary, in that you have a very disciplined candidate, okay?

And so the campaign needs to be the hype man, right? Ron DeSantis is not a guy that sits in an auditorium of 10,000 people and commands that presence. He's a ruthless administrator that gets stuff done. And so the campaign now needs to provide the stage presence. He's more than a man. He's more machine than man. Like, they just never, and that never happened, okay?

In this case, the candidate is his own hype man. And what needs to happen, when he walks out of there and goes after Kamala Harris and questions her credibility to the point of questioning her own genealogy and family origin, okay? The campaign needs to come out and say, and the same woman that you can't trust to tell you, whether she's Indian, whether she's African American, whether she's this or that is the same woman that never went to the border, as a borders are. is the same woman who was with the White House that lied to the American people and gasslet them for the last three years that the president's senile and has dementia. The campaign needs to come in, you know, a campaign in a candidate are like a marriage. And the literal Hebrew translation there for helpmate, by the way, of a wife, the word actually literally translates, I believe, to rescue her. That a woman literally rescues a man from his shortcomings and deficiencies. She fills in those gaps, okay?

And that's what a campaign is supposed to do to a candidate. And what I see is that I even understand why they're mad at Heritage Foundation, getting out ahead of them. I get that being on campaigns. You can't get ahead of the candidate. I get that. But you also can't spend more time attacking the Heritage Foundation in Project 2025 than you can talking about the fact that you took a bullet to the face for the American people. And the campaign has. And Glenn, would you have imagined three weeks ago that we would have a conversation and think,

I can't believe the campaign has not used that to inspire voters more than that. than they have. They barely bring it up. They barely talk about it. And I just think we're off message and I'm worried because they are going to start voting in Pennsylvania in 45 days. And I think if we make it an issue-based campaign, if we pivot to, this is what Trump did so well in 2016. That's why I wanted him to go back and do it again. He didn't just say Mexico's bringing us, it's rapist, druggies and drug mules and human traffickers and then just leave it there. He then said that and then, and that's why we're going to build a wall and we're going to secure the border so they can stop doing this to you. You see what I'm saying? He pivoted to issues that hit home

for the average American. The average American needs to feel why Kamala Harris is incompetent. They need to feel why she's a complete contrivance and not even a real person and not credible and a deep episode come to life. We can't just leave it there. We have to say that's why that's why she was silent and complicit in the gaslighting of the president's mental state. That's why she never visited the border. That's why she was part of the, the collapsing economy we currently have. They need to pivot to those issues, and that's what a campaign needs to do,

and I just don't see that, and I am very concerned. So I would agree with it. I think Donald Trump is doing a magnificent job himself. I think it is a campaign problem, because I do tend to agree with you that, you know, the Harris campaign has pivoted 180 degrees.

They're no longer talking, about him being a criminal or anything else. And that is, we can't play the same game because it's a different player. And if you put, I mean, she is the Biden administration. She was there the whole time. She was with all of it. And if it is a Trump as a personality against a Kamala, I don't know who wins because both sides will split on that. But if you're talking about, hey, how's your grocery bill?

Correct. How's your gas bill? Correct. What do you think's going to happen when Kamala gets in? Do you think gas is going to go down or up? Do you think inflation with her spending, her wanting to create jobs that are all government jobs guaranteed by you, the taxpayer, do you think your prices of goods and services, inflation, is going to go down or up? those are the things how many i can't believe that we are you know they they they actually came out yesterday and said uh donald trump said that he could have he this deal wouldn't have been necessary he'd go to gotten the the uh you know the hostages out well i probably probably so uh we wouldn't be in the situation we were in if it wasn't for donald trump however can somebody just ask why do you think putin would make joe biden look like

a peacemaker right now. You know, who do you think Putin wants in the Oval Office? It ain't Donald Trump. Who does China want? It's not Donald Trump. Who does Iran want? It's not Donald Trump. Of course they're going to come out and do deals now.

I thought the single best messaging clip he's produced in his candidacy this round with the interview they did with Lori Ingram a few days ago. And she asked him about trainees, okay? And he was like, that stuff's completely ridiculous. We're not permitting that stuff if I'm president. But then he pivoted to this. And I love the fact that he kept using the word we. What we want is grocery bills to be affordable.

What we want is for the border to be secure. What we want is for common sense to return. What we want, nobody even talks. He said, nobody even talks about the American dream anymore. We want to be talking about that again. And I saw that and I thought that, especially the use of the word we. because the Democrats want to make it look like he isn't part of a movement. He's a singular entity, a singular force.

He's dangerous, reckless, et cetera. He is actually at his best when he is seen as a movement. When he says stuff like, you know, they're coming after me because I represent you. I mean, that's when he's at his best. And I think what I see is that they're off message. I'll even give you another subtlety. Calling her a flip-flopper lets her off the hook. You're not running against John.

Kerry in 2004 where he's not president. And so questioning his credibility on the issues because he's not a known quantity is a good tactic. And remember they busted out the flip-flops and that was devastating against John Kerry. She has effectively been some form of president the last few years, or at least in on those conversations. I would not grant her because she could just turn around and say, well, you know, I'm not Joe Biden and I looked at the data and I did this differently. And I think we should maybe do some things differently on the border than we did the last couple of years. You don't let her, don't grant her that. You need to just, don't call her a flip-flopper. She's a radical. She needs to own every, every dot and tittle, every syllable of morsel of record of

this White House. She has to own it. Attacking her as a flip-flopper grants the premise that she's somewhat undefined and therefore allows them to redefine her, which is what you're seeing them try to do right now. Do not accept that premise on any level. Make her own the record of this administration. You should run on her on the issues as you would have run against Joe Biden because she is essentially the stand-in for him, if not literally. So we're sitting here looking an awful lot in some ways like the Wilson campaign in 1912 against Roosevelt. Roosevelt was honest about his progressivism and he said, I'm going to do this, this, and this. And that scared the American people. because they thought he went too far.

And Wilson did the exact opposite. He said, oh, he's a radical. Well, Wilson was the real radical. Right. Right. And I think, you know, Joe Biden was a puppet. He was, you know, weekends at Bernice. And he wasn't checked in enough.

You know, Barack Obama was running the White House. Kamala Harris believes this stuff. Joe Biden doesn't believe this stuff. She does. And she's much more radical than he was ever. And if people don't understand that, you know, you have to support the president. But when she said I was the last person in the room with him for Afghanistan and I 100%.

I'd never say that. If I was against the president, I'd say, look, the decision was made by the president. And I support the president going forward. We disagreed on a few things, but that's neither here nor there. I support the president of the United States. You don't go on a big disaster like that and say, I was the last person in the room to talk to him. And I agree. It was great.

No. No. And, you know, I was telling Stu today that Ford gave a speech in 1978 or 79 when he was running against Reagan in the primary. and he said, he was asked by a little girl, how are you going to get a woman in the presidency? When will that happen? Will it ever happen? He said, yeah, it's going to happen. I'll tell you how. He said, either a Democrat or Republican is going to pick a running mate that's a female. She's going to be the vice president, and the president will die, and that's how you'll have your first female president. Wow.

This is, I know, this is how we're going to elect, because she could never think about, let me just write fiction here for you. Think about how radical she is and how she performed in the primaries. Nobody liked her. Okay? Nobody wanted her. Nobody liked her. We saw her more than anybody did. She couldn't even make it to the Iowa caucuses.

Right. And so to me, disaster. There's a reason why, and I think him and his campaign need to say this. There's a reason why the same forces that pushed Joe Biden out of the campaign are not pushing him out of the White House. because it would actually strengthen her candidacy if she was a credible candidate. It would strengthen her candidacy to be seen as president first

to get basically a 90-day test drive with the American people where they get comfortable with this. They know, therefore, they're not doing that because they know if they see that ahead of time, that they won't vote for that.

They know that she's a VEP episode come to life. And so they've got to do the Kamala lot campaign that you're seeing now. The Trump campaign needs to make her president right now. There's a reason why Democrats don't want her to be president right now. They don't want to give the American people a trailer to the movie that they're asking them to buy a ticket to. And the Trump campaign needs to provide that movie trailer and shove it down the American people's throats. And it's got to be, though, about issues people care about. I love deconstructing her personality because they're trying to construct and reconstruct one as we speak. But it's got to be to get to the result of making me care about why I care about that they're doing this. And they're doing this so that they can get her in the White House against me knowing who she really is.

so they can more California, California the country. They can more radicalize the country. And the Trump campaign needs to make her seem like she's president of the United States to the American people right now. Steve Dease, thank you so much. I appreciate it.

The Glenn Beck Program will be right back. Hello and welcome to the Glenn Beck program. This week, I just want to leave you with one thought. I want you to ponder this over the weekend. Do you remember when Michelle Obama said this in 2007 and eight. And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices. We're going to have to change our conversation. We're going to have to change our traditions, our history. We're going to have to move into a different place. Okay.

Do you remember when you heard that? What was your feeling? If you were like me, you heard that and went, wait, wait, wait, hold it just a second. We're going to have to make sacrifices. We're going to change our history, the way. we talk to each other are traditions. That doesn't sound good. Now, that caused a lot of people to be concerned when they first heard that.

Now, let me ask you what you felt when you heard Kamala Harris say this. But inspired by also our collective ability to see what can be unburdened by what has been. We've made fun of that. Don't make fun of that. She's saying exactly what Michelle Obama said. Unburdened by our truth, our history, our language, our traditions.
