The Glenn Beck Program - 'You Will Be the Death of the Republic': Glenn BLASTS Justifications for Violence Over Trump | Guests: Steve Baker & Alex Clark | 8/15/23

Episode Date: August 15, 2023

Glenn and Stu discuss the pure hypocrisy of the Left, as former President Trump has now been handed his fourth indictment and faces an additional 13 charges from the state of Georgia. Glenn plays the ...hit songs that coincide with the birth year of some of our most elderly politicians. Investigative journalist Steve Baker joins to discuss what he’s seen while investigating January 6 and how the government has attempted to stop this footage from being seen. Glenn and Stu predict how the next Republican presidential debate will go. TPUSA contributor and host of “The Spillover” Alex Clark joins Glenn to explain why she believes nobody should label music and movies as “conservative.” Glenn and Stu discuss the absurd notion that Fox News will enforce the rule that nobody can cover its presidential debate and use footage from the event on other platforms.  Learn more about your ad choices.

I'd like to share it in 60 seconds. You and I are live today for one very simple reason. We had mothers who lived in a nation where it was possible to have an abortion,
Starting point is 00:02:06 but she chose not to. Sadly, this isn't the story for 64 million of our brothers and sisters whose lives were... short right at the very beginning. This is why pre-born fights every single day, so the at-risk infants will get a chance at life. However, we also are really concerned about the moms. We can't just say, Mom, you're a baby killer. A lot of these women have, they feel trapped like they have no choice. And when they go to places like Planned Parenthood, they reinforce that. There is a choice, and there is help. And it comes from people like Pre-Borne. They have rescued over 28,000
Starting point is 00:02:53 babies just this year. How do they do it? Well, they start with an ultrasound. For $28, you can give a woman a free ultrasound. She sees the baby. The odds of her saying no to an abortion double once she's seen and heard the heartbeat. Go to preborn.com. Please do. donate. You can hit pound 250 keyword baby or just donate at preborn.com slash Beck. That's preborn.com slash back sponsored by preborn. So, Stu, it's getting a little old. All of the indictments. I mean, it's like, okay, come on. Give me something new. It's like, okay, you know, fast and the furious. Okay, all right, the sequel. Okay, Tokyo Drift seems like, you're pushing it a little bit and now where are we?
Starting point is 00:03:48 Yeah. We're like, uh, fast. Fast, fast X, I think just came out. Okay, so 10. So we're at 10 now.
Starting point is 00:03:54 And it feels like we're going to get there eventually. Something like 91 total charges now. Yeah. Against the president. And I mean, I'm torn because it's hard for me to imagine they're going to put the, a president of the United States in prison. Oh, they will.
Starting point is 00:04:09 But on the other hand, it seems really hard to imagine. The government goes, oh for 91 here? Yeah. It seems really tough to. imagine they don't get anything out of this right so i mean i just throwing spaghetti at the board yes i mean it's this is so disgusting and despicable i mean this is truly all about two things uh one i don't think
Starting point is 00:04:35 it's about stopping don't Trump from being president now if they can put him in jail they will but he can still run from jail. Okay. So I don't think it's about that. I think that's gravy to them. That's like, ah, and he's in jail. This is about deflecting all of the trouble of Hunter and Joe Biden. This is all about teaching the rest of us a lesson.
Starting point is 00:05:07 If we can do this to this guy, you think you can survive us? it's a lesson. But it is also something, and this is, this is, you know how I've always said they self-diagnose? Whatever they say we're doing, they're doing. This is, I mean, they did this with the impeachment. They impeached Donald Trump because they said he was inappropriate in Ukraine with the leader of Ukraine. Okay. Seems like ancient history. I know.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Yeah. I mean, it's hard to believe that that's what this comes back to. It does. It comes back to them covering their track. Whatever they said Donald Trump was doing, they were doing. So, you know, when they said, well, he's, you know, he's obstructing justice and he is, he's using the justice department, you know, against his enemies. That's what it, that's what it looks like to us. No, that's what they do. I mean, another example of this is, remember their reaction to lock her up, lock her up, lock her up chance at rallies? Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:25 This is a banana republic. We don't do this. We don't put our political enemies behind bars. This is America. Do you remember? Yes, I do. Because they were chanting it at a rally. They got 91 charges against this guy.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Where did that go? Well, he's different. He's different. That is what they believe. I mean, they really truly believe that. Yeah. Now, listen to the, listen to the indictment from yesterday. Defended Donald J. Trump lost the United States presidential election held on November 3, 2020.
Starting point is 00:07:02 One of the states he lost was Georgia. Trump and the other defendants charged in this indictment refused to accept that Trump lost. That's what they do. I mean they protest every presidential every single time they lose
Starting point is 00:07:23 they say it was stolen and do they really believe it because this is this is the charge to make this charge stick you have to prove that he didn't
Starting point is 00:07:35 actually believe that so now here's my question or at least he was negligent he should have understood is the other standard they're going to go for here that you know if like if I say look my lawyer told me I could murder 12 people in the park that's not a defense right you need to have so so they have to prove it so egregious that
Starting point is 00:07:58 he should have known which is again a high standard okay again that shows me because they always self-diagnose that they've never believed any of these things that they've said they're just corrupting the system to corrupt it and we've known that but But to me, this is proof because they always do what they accuse the other side of doing. So they knew in 2000. They knew in 2004. They knew in 2012, right, or 16. They knew.
Starting point is 00:08:36 They knew. We didn't win those. Oh, yeah. Of course they knew it. I mean, 2000 was close. You know, so they, I think some of them do believe they won 2000. Then you had the recounts. New York Times did a recount.
Starting point is 00:08:52 Yeah, they lost. They lost all of these. But they kept coming out and saying it anyway. Correct. Correct. So they refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump.
Starting point is 00:09:10 That conspiracy contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering Now, is there anyone that you know of that's in the news that should be charged with racketeering? No, nobody comes to me. I thought that was rhetorical. No, I'm just saying. Now, if you look at this and then ask yourself, wait a minute, I remember somebody actually putting together a plan. to set the country on fire should they lose.
Starting point is 00:09:55 And then they would challenge that in the courts. They would have their people out on the streets, you know, no no peace, no justice, no peace, saying that the election was stolen. And then they would get the slate of electors to change, which is exactly what they're accusing him of doing. They even read ads saying you should do this. Yeah, they weren't changing the people.
Starting point is 00:10:26 They were trying to get the electors to change their votes, right, with those ads. Which is a little bit different, but still, you know, they had no qualms about changing the outcome of democracy and all this crap that they say now. They wanted their outcome. And they tried to get their outcome with every single trick they could think of to accomplish it. It is really incredible. So, you know, I don't know. I mean, I can't imagine, as Stu said, that out of, what, 90?
Starting point is 00:11:00 91 charges. 91 charges that they're not going to, they're not going to hit something. Over 91 would be hard to pull off. It's just, it just, I mean, the odds. Because I think there's a, there's a tension between people who are Trump supporters, right? Which is, like Trump's a fighter, he's a survivor, he's going to beat this. they're not going to put him in prison, of course he's going to win because they see him as a winner, right? And on the other side of this is the same, it's instinct in the same people saying, this is the
Starting point is 00:11:30 deep state, they're coming after him with everything they got, they will never relent until he's put behind bars or punished or whatever. One of those is going to fail here, right? Either he is put in prison and, you know, he's not invincible, or the deep state doesn't have the power. assigning to it this whole time because they've got 91 charges right now. If they want to put them in prison and the deep state is what we say it is, they're going to put them in prison. Right?
Starting point is 00:11:59 It's on, it's the table for them. They've done the legwork. All bets are off on anybody, on anybody. If they put him in prison. They put him in prison. I can't even imagine that.
Starting point is 00:12:15 But I mean like what because I have that same feeling of like, I can't even imagine. That's not possible. This is the United States of America. But it is possible. And also there's 91 charges. Now, maybe there's a chance, right, that they get him on something that's smaller that doesn't
Starting point is 00:12:34 result in prison time, right? I think that's a legitimate possibility. I think, and I know he says he's not going to do this. I think it's a legitimate policy. He winds up pleading out of some of this and just saying, yeah, whatever, guilty. And then goes on the campaign trail and says, I want to. I wasn't guilty. I just obviously said that, his version of that statement. Look, I wanted to get this behind us.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I don't think it's out of the question that that is the end of this. He just, he stays out of prison by pleading to something. So there is a, there is a new poll out that shows 12% of the U.S. population. That's 30 million people. 12% believe that violence is warranted to prevent Trump from assuming the presidency. So 30 million people in America believe violence is okay to stop him from being the president again. Violence. That's almost double the number of people who believe that violence is warranted.
Starting point is 00:13:48 to make sure that Trump does become president. So you have 12 and about 5.8 percent. The left over double the amount of violence or violent people that believe that. And yet we're the ones made into the violent ones. We're the ones made look like we're angry. No, you have twice the number of people that want to, go into violence. That's how crazy your side is. And I will tell you, the 5% that want violence on the streets, they're just as crazy as the left. There's no place for violence in the streets.
Starting point is 00:14:35 No, none, none. And anybody on the right who thinks that's going to work out well for you, you will be the death of the Republic. You'll be the death of the Republic, period. But it's interesting to me that the ones who are preaching peace, 30 million of those who despise Donald Trump, 30 million think violence is justified to make sure he never becomes president again. It's so, so disturbing. And Glenn, I don't know, going back to the way the founders drew this all up back in the day, it seems to me they had several different ways to deal with a situation like this, right? The first one was impeachment, right?
Starting point is 00:15:26 If you believe your president has done something terrible and needs to be punished, that's the process. They tried that in a haphazard, pathetic way with no evidence, and they rushed it through because they thought the emotion would help them, just like they try to push through a gun bill after a mass shooting, right? They tried to do. it didn't work. And this is throw the spaghetti against the wall, attempt number 46, to see if they can get something on him. The other thing that the founders put together was pretty helpful was elections. Right. Like, we have opportunities to make these decisions.
Starting point is 00:16:04 If you believe Donald Trump did something, you know, really wrong here, you can make a decision with your vote. And the American people can hold him responsible for that by not making him president of the United States again. Here's the difference. The founders. believed in the people. Yeah. Okay. They believe the American. This is a quote from Thomas Jefferson. The American people will from time to time get it wrong. But eventually, they'll figure it out and correct the mistake. Yep. They don't believe in the people. No. Otherwise, why would they lock you up? Why would they say you're a grandma killer if you don't agree with them? They don't believe in you. Yeah. And like I, the precedent this sets. Like, I believe, you know, we go through this in more detail, but like, is there any chance, Glenn, a local prosecutor in 2025 if Joe Biden loses?
Starting point is 00:16:57 Is there any chance that a local prosecutor doesn't indict Joe Biden? Somebody in a red state is going to come together and say, wait a minute, there's this charge and this charge of this charge, it passed through our state. Yeah, of course they're going to do it. No, they won't. The right won't do it. I don't know. They should be doing it right now with Hunter Biden.
Starting point is 00:17:15 I mean, I can't believe that we're not charging for racketeering. I mean, look at what they're doing. Hunter is a different story, though. Hunter is a, there's no argument he's, you know, he is a, he is a legitimately a private citizen, right? And should be charged and should be, these things should be handled. There's no impeachment process. No. For Hunter Biden.
Starting point is 00:17:36 There is for Joe. And that's what the, that's what the founders thought of when they were like, how do we deal with this? And they said impeachment. There's also elections. Those two things are really powerful tools to hold somebody responsible. But like we're in an era now where every one of every president right or wrong coming out of these offices, you have to imagine is going to get indicted after this. They're just throwing everything at this guy. And look, you could look at this and you might say, I think he did something wrong.
Starting point is 00:18:06 And if you do, you shouldn't vote for him, right? Like you should do the opposite of that, which is vote for somebody else. By the way, you said yesterday. that you didn't understand why the prosecution would make this deal with Hunter Biden and then back off of it. I'll give you a reason, something I learned this morning reading the news about that sweetheart deal. Coming up in just a second, Jane lives in California. She's a tennis player.
Starting point is 00:18:38 She says way more active than I like to, but each to their own, I guess. So Jane has been suffering from pain throughout her body, and especially in her knees for a few years now. It started slowing her down, and she's not the type of person that just is going to let that happen. She wants to go out and play tennis. She wants to be who she is. She heard me talking about this program about relief factor
Starting point is 00:19:01 and about how well it worked to kill the inflammation that causes our pain, that she decided to give it a try. She's still taking relief factor today. You know what else? She's also playing tennis again. Jane got our life back and so could you. The three-week quickstarts, 1995. It's a trial pack.
Starting point is 00:19:19 It's not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and 70% of them have gone on to order more. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief, 800, the number four relief. Get the 1995, three-week quick start at Relieffactor. com. Feel the difference.
Starting point is 00:19:39 10 seconds. Station ID. So attorneys for 100. Biden are in court now arguing, this was Sunday, just two days ago, that the pretrial diversion agreement signed by federal prosecutors remains binding. So this is not the plea deal. This is the diversion, which means we're not prosecuting you. The gun part of it.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Court filing last Friday, now special counsel, David Weiss asked a federal judge to vacate the charges filed against Biden in Delaware so he could re-executive. refile the charges in other jurisdictions. Weiss told the court that prosecutors and Biden's counsel were at an impasse and not in agreement on either the plea agreement or the diversion agreement. Despite the prosecutor's desire to start over, Biden lawyer said the client intends to abide by the terms of the diversion agreement that was executed on July 26th hearing by the defendant. The parties have a valid and binding bilateral diversion agreement. This has to be decided by a judge because unlike the plea deal, when you sign a diversion, that's between you and the prosecutor.
Starting point is 00:21:04 The judge doesn't have to okay that. So both of both parties signed it. And now they're saying, well, it's binding. Now the prosecutor, you know, is like, well, no, I'm pretty sure that's not. no, no, I'm pretty sure. But that, anything that is an agreement not to prosecute are struck between prosecutors and a defendant and judicial approval is not typically required. Hmm. So that's, it's interesting.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Again, though, if they wanted to just let Hunter off, wouldn't they just agree to this? Why are they fighting it in court? I get it. Yeah. I get it. It's hard to understand. I mean, I... Because I think, I just think that's...
Starting point is 00:21:58 Honestly, I think that's cover. The prosecutors also came out and said, you're ready for this? The reason why they did that kind of a deal, the diversion, was to stop a vindictive Donald Trump from going after him. You've got to be kidding. I'm kidding me. If anybody has a right to be vindictive, it's Donald Trump, but I pray that he won't be vindictive.
Starting point is 00:22:34 The Glennback program. American financing NMLS-182334. www. nmLS consumer access.org. So Tiffany wrote in about our experience with American financing. She said, Glenn, after hearing about American financing on your program, I reached out in regard to my refinancing my current mortgage from an adjustable rate into a fixed rate and getting a lower interest. rate in the process. I was paired with Scott and was pleased with him and his team. He stayed constant. He was always in contact with me throughout the process and made sure to reach out consistently just to let me know that they were available if I needed them or had any had any questions.
Starting point is 00:23:13 I would highly recommend Scott and his team for refinancing needs. Thank you, American financing. Well, Tiffany, thank you. Thanks for listening. Sounds like your experience is exactly what you needed. American financing is saving people just like Tiffany, an average of $700 a month. Plus, if you refy your mortgage, you could end up being able to delay up to two of your mortgage payments and close in as little as 10 days. That'll take the pressure off. American financing, 8009062440, 8009062440, Americanfinancing.net. A week from tomorrow is the first debate. We don't know if Trump's going to be there or not, but you'll get the best coverage on Blaze TV. BlaseTV.com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Oh, golly. I don't know if you saw the story yesterday. A lot of people just kind of didn't pay attention to it. So I thought maybe we should, maybe we should bring it up and maybe highlight in a different way. There are now 20, 20 politicians in Washington that are over 80. Wow, that's a lot, although I may have guessed higher. So I thought we should just go and look at some of these politicians. And I'm just going to, just to put it into context, you know, what was a song that was out when they were a kid? Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:55 So Chuck Grassley, he's 89. He was born September 17th, 1933, and this was the song that was. When he went away, the blues walked in and met me.

Right. And I think maybe some of these really, really, really, really old people should leave us alone. You've had your day in the sun.
Starting point is 00:37:13 In fact, you've had more than a day in the sun. You've had over 80 years in the sun. And when you leave something out in the sun too long, it tends to dehydrate and shrivel up. Right. And there you are. that's happened to many of the brains in Congress. Yes. So please leave Congress.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Now, I hope that this gives you a perspective of the 20 people that are running our country right now. That does not include the executive branch. I was going to say, yeah, Biden wouldn't even talk about it. No, no. He's obviously on this list. Absolutely. But maybe that will help you understand how very, very old these generation before the boomers really are.

On yesterday's program, we had a former member of the Capitol Police, who was giving us new information yesterday about what's on the tapes, what he saw, and who is responsible. He also gave us a name of somebody I had not heard of, and he said, everybody in America should know this name, just like they know Ray Epps, but you should know this name as well.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Steve Baker joins us with a further update on this. He's an investigative journalist and Blaze Media contributor.

Good to be back, Glenn. Thanks for having me. So I had you on, I think it was last week, and we were talking about the 12,000 hours
Starting point is 00:45:51 that you have been promised your first up to view because you're working on a story for the blaze, and you have found some pretty shocking things, but you need to verify, before you even write this, you need to verify on tape, correct? That's correct. It's actually 41,000 hours. It's roughly the math is the 41,000 hours by at times,700 plus cameras that are available in the capital campus. And that would be the 24 hour day of January 6th. That's where that 41,000 hour number comes from. So they are going to court today to try to cordon off some of this tape and say you can't see it because of national. national security. Is that going to prevail and will that affect you?
Starting point is 00:46:43 It's a interesting question because we have, as you know, had limited access. There's only been five journalists given access up to this point. The first and most public of those was Tucker Carlson's staff's access. And then Julie Kelly, John Solomon, Joe Hanneman from the Epic Times and myself are the only five up to this point that we know of who have been given that access. And then there's been a pause button hit and we were told that the reason why this pause button was hit was because they were developing a new media guideline when this was coming directly from speaker McCarthy staff and with this new guidelines that were going to be published and this was supposed to be published over a month ago and then I got a call from a staffer last week who told me very specifically he said you were first back in you you're you were the guy we know what you're working on we want this story out and you're going to be the first one back in under the new guidelines. And they told me that this guidelines was going to be out last Friday. Well, that didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:47:45 And so we still haven't seen the guidelines. And I'm wondering if there's not some connection to this new Judicial Watch. It's not a new Judicial Watch filing, by the way. They filed this lawsuit back in February of 21, just a month after January 6th. But the point being is that the Capitol Police themselves do not want people to have access to this video. So that's what's coming up in court today. That's a decision that prevents us from getting back in. That is a real problem. This is the people's videotape. This is the people's house, the people's
Starting point is 00:48:19 capital. And we're not allowed to see the videotape. I don't buy. It's not for a reason that is less than dark. So yesterday, yesterday we had a former Capitol Police officer on with us, and he said, nobody knows who Julie Farnham is and everyone should know. Do you know her, and what can you tell us about her? Julie Farnham was hired by the Capitol Police just October of 2020, so just three months before January 6th. And she was brought in to basically revamp,
Starting point is 00:48:59 which was what they referred to in the January 6th committee testimony, as being a failing agency or failing division itself. And she came from Homeland Security. She was actually oversaw what they called their immigration betting division. So imagine what that was alike. Yeah. But she did say that that was a significant intelligence position that she held and that she was been brought in to oversee this 12-person internal intel analyst division
Starting point is 00:49:34 at the Capitol Police. What she describes as an intelligent consuming division, not an intel gathering division, whatever that means. But I will tell you this, that there's not really anything nefarious at all. As a matter of fact, her testimony, even before Pelosi's J6 Select Committee, is quite damning as to what was available to them. And she was very clear that they had significant intel. In fact, they had intel that said specifically that there were going to be a large number of armed and with weapons protesters coming to the Capitol that day, that there was actual intent to actually invade the Capitol that day. And that furthermore, there were intelligence that they intended to actually take out Congress members.
Starting point is 00:50:28 And with all of that intelligence there and rebate, and reported to the January 6th committee, this information has never been shared with the American public. But I have the transcript of her testimony. Holy cow. So Farnham, she worked for Farnham, right, in the intelligence arm of the capital? Yes. Okay. Yeah, she would have been reporting directly to Assistant Chief Yogananda Pittman, who was the head of Capitol Police Intelligence.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Okay. And then when she moves over to the chief of police, Pittman, then Farnham goes where? Farnham was with the agency for, or with the department, the Capitol Police as they're what they call assistant director of intelligence and interagency coordination. So she headed up that division for about two and a half years before she went back into apparently private practice. She's no longer with them. She left in May of this year. Okay, so why would he say yesterday that we need to know her? She sounds like a good guy.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Yeah, I will tell you that the background that I have personally done on Barnum doesn't give me any indication that she herself had any nefarious intent. But I will tell you that, again, going back to her testimony before the select committee, that there are more clues about what Lieutenant Johnson said in that that she absolutely called an intelligence meeting with the upper echelon of Capitol Police leadership, and this was on January 4th, in which she specifically says that both Chief Gallagher and Chief Pittman were present, and she even says to the committee, it is my understanding that Chief sonned was not invited quote unquote. So who would have the power or what would the motivation be for Pittman not to pass all of this intel along? Well, what would be the motivation?
Starting point is 00:52:43 I mean, we have to, you know, with any, any type of government operation, we have to start with incompetence. You know, you know, we always start there. And when we're talking about the actual police department administrated by the largest, most incompetent government in the world, you know, it's a fair place to start before you get into malfeasance or malevolence or anything of that sort. But the fact that they knew, and this isn't very, very important for the American people
Starting point is 00:53:12 to know, is not only that they have the intelligence, and it wasn't just from their own internal analysts, this intelligence of a significant event that, was coming their way was testified to by many other sources. We know that the FBI was sharing intelligence with them. They were receiving intelligence all the way from the New York Police Department, that there was significant nefarious operators that were going to be descending on D.C. that day. And then, of course, we also have heard, as we heard in the Tucker Carlson-Steven Sund interview last week, that we had both the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Millie, as well as,
Starting point is 00:53:51 as the Secretary of Defense, Chris Miller, wanted to shut D.C. down. They wanted to cancel all of the permitted events. And this is the other thing that Americans don't know, is that the Capitol Police themselves had issued at least six, what they call First Amendment by the Capitol Police, in which they knew that members of Congress were going to be speaking at some of those side stage events on the Capitol property, We're not talking about the big rally that Trump was holding at the ellipse,
Starting point is 00:54:30 but these were events that were scheduled, permitted legally so, signed off by the Capitol Police leadership, and for some reason, none of that information was ever passed down to their command-level officers, like Lieutenant Johnson. None of that information was ever shared in their morning roll call briefings that morning. We know from multiple testimonies, both on the record and off the record, with Capitol Police officers, front-line officers, that they knew nothing about what was coming their way that day.
Starting point is 00:55:01 We even heard those testimonies in trials. In the first Oathkeeper trial, there was an officer by the name of Ryan Salkey, and he was a brave officer. He stood his ground on the east door. That's where the famous Columbus doors are. He was getting beaten, manhandled. He was getting just drenched in all manner of pepper spray and OC spray, and he never left his post until that door was finally brinked.
Starting point is 00:55:24 reached. And in that trial, he was asked under cross-examination if he knew about the permitted events on the Capitol grounds that day. And he said, no, he said, the only thing I know, and I quote from my own notes because I was there at that trial, he said, I only knew something was happening at the White House. What conclusion do you draw? And are we ever going to get to the end of this? Are we ever going to find out what really happened? What happened to the pipe bombers. What happened? Where is that?
Starting point is 00:56:00 Well, exactly. Look, Glenn, I draw the same conclusion as Tucker did in that interview last week. This sounds like a setup. And there's just too many elements here, too many connective tissues showing that it was for this to be just gross incompetence. And in fact, in Farnham's assessment, one of the last things that the questions that she was asked, was this a failure leading up to January 6? And her answer was very simply this.
Starting point is 00:56:32 She said, I don't think it was a failure of intelligence. I think it was a failure to operationalize the intelligence. And of course, she would not have had the, that was not her position to do and write the morning briefings for those officers that day. Somebody had that information. Obviously, it goes right up to Pittman's office. And she had a briefing with them on the fourth. that information was shared and for some reason they did not disseminate that to their officers that day.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Do you know what happened with where we are on the pipe bomb? Is that just over? We're not looking for those. Well, it's still called an open investigation, which is why in recent hearings on the hill that they won't answer questions about it because as you know, they always say, well, that's an open investigation. I can't talk about it. But I will tell you this. We know that the pipe bombs, themselves were inoperable. They were stunt pieces. They were never intended to go off. They were basically diversionary tactics because the first one was found in the minutes before the first barricade breach at about 12.52 p.m. that day. And then the second was found just after that. And when both of those were found, and you can hear it on the Capitol Police radio comments, which I've heard all of them. I've heard hours and hours of their radio communications. I've read
Starting point is 00:57:52 the transcripts that there is absolutely was chaos in that moment because now the undermanned Capitol Police, which is a whole other story in and of itself, is why a department with almost 2,000 uniformed officers that day only had a couple of hundred available on campus at the time. And then they were additionally diverted because those pipe bombs were found at buildings under the purview and the responsibility of the Capitol Police themselves. It is almost like what a terrorist does when they set off a bomb and all the first responders go there and are distracted from what really is going on or they're blown up at the site. They drag them in.
Starting point is 00:58:38 I think these guys with the pipe bombs clearly were dragging the Capitol Police away so things could get much, much worse. Do you believe – That's the only collusion. Yeah. Do you believe, Steve, in fact, let me stop for one moment. minute and then I've got one more question for you. Hang on. Let me tell you about relief factor. Life gets so busy sometimes. If you're anything like me, you don't have time to be held back from living because you're in pain. Most of the aches and pains that we suffer, especially on a regular
Starting point is 00:59:06 basis, are caused by inflammation. And if you've ever had it, you know exactly what I mean. You don't have to suffer through frequent, terrible pain. I had it in my hands for a while that It was so bad. And finally, I gave Relief Factor a try. I took the hard stuff. Yeah, Ibuprofen 800. Didn't work. Didn't work.
Starting point is 00:59:28 When did I finally try Relief Factor? Well, I tried because my wife said she's not going to listen to me any more whine about it until I tried everything. I got my life back. Thanks to my wife. It's a three-week quick start, 1995, a trial pack, not a drug, developed by doctors. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and about the 70% of them go on to order more. Go to relieffactor.com.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Relieffactor.com are called 1-800, the number four relief. 8004 relief. It's relieffactor.com. Feel the difference. 10 seconds, station ID. Steve, in your investigation that you're doing, and we don't want to give out any details until you find what you're looking for. You say you have the smoking gun.
Starting point is 01:00:25 You just have to get it, and hopefully you're not shut out from it after today's hearing. But how close are you really to being able to prove that this was at least aided and abetted by somebody in our government? I can tell you that there were specific circumstances that have been produced in trials and given to the American people through the media sources, the mainstream media mostly, that stories that have been told in those trials are not what the truth is shown through these videos. We have clear-cut examples that I have found of, and there's just no other way to say it.
Starting point is 01:01:11 I have found, as I think I said to you last week, the kill shot on actual manufacturing of evidence that did not exist by the truth of the video reveal, as well as the suppression of exculpatory evidence in some of these trials. that is nothing more than a conspiracy by both the Department of Justice and FBI to create evidence out of whole cloth to convict individuals as well as to suppress evidence. Usually when that happens, everybody is released because if they're suppressing evidence or doing anything else, you can't trust any of the court cases at all. Do you think you'll see these people go free?
Starting point is 01:01:55 I think that once we reveal this information, and Glenn, to be honest with you, if they block us from getting the access to the videos, I've already seen it. I've read at least a dozen other people into this, as well as other eyeballs, have seen the information that I have found. In fact, we called, after the first day of what we stumbled upon, I immediately got on the phone called Mike Howell from the Oversight Project at the Heritage Foundation. had him come over and I showed him what we found because I needed somebody else's eyeballs on this, but it was that big and it was that important. So even if they, they withhold the access to, in other words, they don't give me the video clips on a hard drive and allow us to show this to the American people. I already have the camera numbers. I have the timelines and we will reveal the cover up if we have to go that far. Wow. Thank you for everything that you're doing,
Starting point is 01:02:53 Steve, I appreciate it. I think Americans are just tired of all of this and just want justice. One way or another, you know, if bad guys are on our side, put them in jail. If bad guys are on the other side, put them in jail. I'm so tired of this game that they're playing, and our children and our children's lives and opportunities all at stake, all at stake. For what? So they can have more power and more money?
Starting point is 01:03:22 it's grotesque. Steve, thank you. Thank you, Glenn. Appreciate it. You know, I was at our daily meeting with the producers today. And Michaela said, man, today, whof, today I just read all of the news in the show prep and it just hit me so hard.
Starting point is 01:03:51 I'm really having a hard time. I had to stop and pray. And I'm like, really? Because I thought today was kind of a slow news day. It's kind of the typical. It's weird how some days, you know, it hit us differently. We are in the battle of our lives for the Battle of the Republic. And I personally think there is so much good news, the logjam.
Starting point is 01:04:18 We are so close, so close to be able to unravel this whole thing. and Americans are waking up. Stay calm, cool, and collected. The Glenn Beck Program. You remember when you're, you know, hardworking, god-fearing, family-oriented people that were living in this country, constituted the majority? Yeah, yeah, me too, but I'm old.

Starting point is 01:06:12 but we thought maybe there could be some extra help. And so Mercury One is working with our partners in Maui to be able to get relief and supplies to them and make sure that everybody has whatever it is they need that we could provide. Just join us at Mercury1.org and give to our emergency relief fund. Again, I mean, you know, Biden is Oof, you're not going to go as far as Biden.
Starting point is 01:06:42 Like, you're not going to go to the beach for this, are you? No, I'm not going to go to the beach. Okay. No, I can't do that. The only way to honor Maui and to support them is to go to the beach. Right? Like Chris Christie. I see you.
Starting point is 01:06:52 Like, you want to look like Chris Christie, people taking pictures of you from a helicopter. That's what that would look like to me with Biden, except he's a little thinner. Other than that, it was pretty much the same photo. So what you're saying to me is, I should go to the beach, but I can't. You should go because that would support Maui. That's how the president is doing it, and that's how you should do it as well. I mean, it's unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:07:16 I think we should all leave. Just go to the beach right now. I was talking to Doug Gowdy from WGY this morning, and he, our affiliate in Albany, New York. And he brought up, he's like, you know, the guy I used to work with is from Hawaii. Like, if you didn't want to do anything about Maui, why not call Barack up and just be like, hey, why did you take this one on? Be the face of this. Maybe go out there and try to help the people a little bit. If he doesn't even knows what's going on.
Starting point is 01:07:40 He has no idea. You think they're telling him about Maui? I doubt it. I mean, it really is pathetic. And for multiple levels, too. Like, it's wrong because these people really need help. This is a real tragedy. It's the worst wildfire as far as death goes in 150 years.
Starting point is 01:08:02 A thousand people are still missing. Is it really that high? A thousand. I read that last night. I couldn't believe. A thousand are still missing. And all over and over again, the government promise, we have the highest tech warning systems for anything like this, everything. We don't worry about it.
Starting point is 01:08:21 We've got you. We've got you. And then when it happened, none of the warning signals went off. No one even knew this was happening. People were waking up at 5 o'clock in the morning to smoke and fire all around them with no hope. and then they had to sit there and bob in the water for hours until someone came to rescue them. I mean, it is incomprehensible how bad this is you know, it bothers me is just, you know, I don't know. I think I have a bigger problem with hypocrites than I do with actual just plain old criminals.
Starting point is 01:08:53 You know what I mean? Criminal who's like, yeah, I mean, of course, you know, I whack the guy. What? I mean, I have more respect for that than. Then the president and his, his opity attitude that he's full of compassion and he just loves everybody and it's time to bring everybody together. He didn't go to Ohio. He didn't go to Ohio. No.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Didn't he say he was going to? Yeah. And then never went. He's not going to Hawaii. I mean, who is this guy? And let's stick a step back from doing the right thing because I don't know if people. have noticed this. The Biden administration doesn't seem concerned with such things. So just step back to the point of like, the man is in the middle of a presidential election.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Like, just politics 101 would tell you to appear engaged. So look at the difference with a situation. Look at the difference between the hurricane in Florida and the way DeSantis handled that and Hawaii. Yeah. I mean, DeSantis has had several of these situations that have gone on in Florida and he's looked really good in all of them where the situation with, I mean, over and over again, he's doing this, right? Buttigieg doesn't show up, you know, Biden. I mean, I don't know that he should show up to Hawaii right now, probably not ideal,
Starting point is 01:10:17 but still, he should be doing daily press conferences with updates, how the resources are getting there. I mean, again, separating this from what's right and wrong. I have no expectation of him even attempting to do something that's right. I'm just saying from the idea of trying to win an election. Do you remember what it looked like when George Bush looked out, when he did go and he just looked out the window of the plane at the, when he was observing it and there was a picture of that. His presidency was destroyed. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:48 And he did that. He did that because he wanted to go but did not want to trouble the people of New Orleans with a presidential visit. Right. And I can understand, not a presidential visit. It's not appropriate at this moment. but like he wanted to appear engaged. Now I think George W. Bush wanted to help the people too. But I think he also wanted to appear engaged in a major story where a lot of people were suffering.
Starting point is 01:11:14 And the president goes to the beach. And by the way, not word one from the media. Remember all the people who were talking about how often George Bush played golf? Remember those days? Oh, by the way, Biden has already surpassed the most vacation days than anybody else ever in the president's. I am not surprised. And so you have a situation where it's just surprising that you think they would say to him, look, you have to at least appear like you care. I know you don't. But can you appear like you care about this? Because we have a presidential election coming up,
Starting point is 01:11:50 unless he just knows he's not running, unless he's already resigned himself to saying, I'm not going to do this anyway. Who cares? Or he's, or he already knows. He's won. Or he already knows right around the corner the next day is going to be a giant Trump indictment and no one's going to be talking about the way he's handling Maui. And I know it would be shocking because they always say they heard about this stuff on the news just like us. They never know what Merrick Garland's going to do. They didn't know what this prosecutor is going to do. They never know. They always learn about it actually after us because they're that disengaged with this process. It's totally independent, Glenn. But
Starting point is 01:12:30 given the fact that this came out again people are not going to be focusing on what Biden is doing with Hawaii but this of course story is yet another chance to try to throw President Trump in prison you know hang on before you go it's just I gave you the opportunity to give the truth about you did I did oh man okay and you know he doesn't care he doesn't care you have failed to tell the American people the truth about the administrator. Oh, okay. Okay. D.N. Chriswell. Okay, yeah. No, I didn't say anything about D.N. Chriswell.
Starting point is 01:13:06 You didn't. You didn't. She said, she has a desire for the government's efforts to assist the survivors. And you have the actual quote here. Go ahead and play this. It's very... Can you speak to the issue of ongoing communications in the earliest crisis?
Starting point is 01:13:22 That was a problem in people getting information, whether it was the warning systems or any of that. But with towers down and difficulty. How much is the inability to communicate with the citizens with each other still an ongoing part of what you're dealing with and what can be done to augment communication capabilities? I can speak to the initial communications in the warning.
Starting point is 01:13:48 What we are really focused on right now is making sure that we do have continuous communication to help people understand what resources are available, what the next steps in the process are going to be and where they can go to get more information. Okay, well, see, now that seems like she didn't, but we cut it off too early because she said, we're working with our state and local partners to ensure that our outreach and our messaging is also culturally responsive. Oh, good.
Starting point is 01:14:21 Yeah, yeah. Oh, great. Like, so lots of eyes with apostrophes and other eyes. Yeah, I, you know, I think it's really, really good. And I want to be culturally appropriate as well. So I'm sending in, from my childhood, my puka shells. Wow. That's a brave choice.
Starting point is 01:14:43 Yeah, I know. Thank you. That's really impressive. Thank you. Thank you. Can you believe, what are you talking about? No one cares about cultural, culturally responsive? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:14:54 Rescue us. fix our houses. Next time, don't let this happen again. How about that? Maybe have Biden show some attention to the area and maybe get off the beach for a little bit. That would be nice. Don't worry about what the culturally appropriate thing is to say. Just help people.
Starting point is 01:15:16 Help people in that moment. I really, I like Biden, and I'm being sincere, I like Biden's approach. It has nothing to do with the federal government. These things should be taken care of by the American people. No, I know that. So you don't like his approach. No, I know. But I think the president shouldn't be involved in all of these things.
Starting point is 01:15:37 And the government shouldn't be the first responder. It should be the last responder. However, that's not what they're doing. Yeah, I agree with that. They're always saying, we're the best. We're going to get on there. We're going to do it. They don't care.
Starting point is 01:15:50 I've never seen an administration that cares, less about the American people than this group of people. I really haven't. I haven't seen anything close to it. They don't care. Because they at least pretend. These guys don't.
Starting point is 01:16:05 No. They don't care at all. I mean, why would you tell millions of people they're going to get their loans forgiven when you know it's not going to happen? You just tell it anyway. Let them get all excited. Let them start spending more money
Starting point is 01:16:18 that they should have been putting toward their loans. And then just rip the rug right out from under them and act like nothing happened. Even though you knew, the whole time it was going to be ruled unconstitutional. Of course they knew that. But they did it anyway because they don't care about people. It's a very consistent message from this administration in actions.
Starting point is 01:16:35 And on the two-year anniversary of the disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan. Because they didn't care. They did not care at all about that situation. He never said anything about the people falling from the airplanes. I mean, it's a very consistent. Look, not necessarily in words, but in actions. It's a very consistent message. And in the Maui situation, it's kind of actually consistent in words, too, because
Starting point is 01:16:59 there's nothing happening. There's nothing happening. And I don't know. I guess they just feel so shielded from the media at this point, that they don't have to do anything. I guess he believes running a campaign from his basement will work again. So he doesn't have to campaign. He doesn't have to look like he's engaged.
Starting point is 01:17:15 He doesn't have to care that people are dying and have died in Hawaii. One of the worst tragedies we've seen in a long time, he doesn't even have to appear to care and he could still win. I guess that's his idea. Well, we thought it was crazy last time. I know. I know. We thought it was crazy last time. Maybe he's right. I really think that Donald Trump should run the campaign that Joe Biden ran in 2020. So we just never see either of the candidates? Yeah. Just do it from your house and just, you know, hey, here I am. and just, you know, I don't, I don't think Donald Trump has anything to gain by going to this Fox. And I hope he does, you know, as a person, but I don't, I don't think he has anything to gain.
Starting point is 01:18:01 I mean, look, from a game theory standpoint, there's a really good argument for him not to go to this. From a country standpoint, I mean, look, he's the leader. He should be there at a debate. Don't you think? Isn't it weird? I understand from a game, like, if I'm a manager of a, of a, of a, of a, of a debate, you know, of a sports franchise and this is the game I'm trying to manage.
Starting point is 01:18:21 I would say to him, look, you're up by 30 or 40 points. What's the point of this? Wait till one of these guys breaks out. Then go face them one on one or two or one on two. And you don't have to worry about this. I get that. But like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:18:35 I mean, it just seems like it's the right thing to do to hear from this guy. If he's going to be winning by 40 points, we should probably be hearing from it. And let him compare himself to everyone else. He's done well in these debates. I don't think he's afraid of it. I think he's just looking at it. what's to gain here? What am I going to go up by 50? And I get that, but it doesn't feel like the
Starting point is 01:18:52 right way to go through this process. Do you agree with that? I do, but I also think strategically for him, I would be saying, don't go. Yeah, let Mike Pence and Chris Christie yell at each other. Right. Let Rhonda Santis and Vivek Ramoswamy yell at each other for a while. You sit back, they go punish each other. If one of them breaks out, which they, There's honestly no indication that may not even happen, honestly. With all these indictments coming down, he may win by 80 points. That's crazy. But like, I can totally understand it from a game theory standpoint.
Starting point is 01:19:31 What is there to gain? But, I mean, there is something very American about this process where we're supposed to see these guys together. I know. Arguing out these ideas. And I wish at some point, maybe in my lifetime, we will have a conversation about a policy. But I don't think we will. to happen. Fox News. I don't think Fox News is going to ask all the same boring, you know, who's doing, do we know who's moderating this thing? How much more money will you give to Ukraine?
Starting point is 01:20:01 Do you think that's enough? I mean, when will you go to war with Ukraine? It'll just be these typical questions unlike anything that happened at the summit. It's time for. Martha McCallum and Brett Baer, I think they'll ask some good questions. I mean, Brett Baer, they're both, they're both, both pretty good. There's some over there that I'm not a huge of fan of. You know, the Fox News operation
Starting point is 01:20:23 has taken its hits over the past couple of years. But I mean, I don't have a problem with those two. They may very well ask a lot of dumb questions. I'm not saying they won't.
Starting point is 01:20:33 But I mean, they might. I do say that I'm seeing this now, this description of the debate, includes pre-taped questions submitted by students. Oh, can we stop with it? Stop with the pre-taped.
Starting point is 01:20:45 Stop it. Just ask. I say our coverage, we should run, I don't know, Mr. Smith goes to Washington and we'll just comment as if that's the debate. Yeah, it'll be more interesting. I mean, it's just, yikes. I don't know. We'll see. By the way, it's a week from tomorrow. We do have Blaze TV coverage, BlazeTV.com slash Glenn, promo code Glenn on YouTube.com slash Stu Does America.

Starting point is 01:22:43 Yeah, you snob. Yeah. I asked some questions. They only took one of them. Yeah. I asked, in Fortnite, what's your favorite gun? And then I asked, what's your favorite tower upgrade in Roblox? And they didn't accept either of those.
Starting point is 01:23:00 They only accepted my third one. What which is? How much more money will you spend on Ukraine? They took that one right away. All right. Good. Thank you, Henry. I appreciate it's Henri.
Starting point is 01:23:14 It's Henri. The Glenn Beck Program. What you're about to hear, the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Back Program. Hello, America. I would like to set the record straight after hearing about how horrible this summer has been. It's been the hottest summer in 155 trillion billion years.
Starting point is 01:24:20 Never been hotter. Never been hotter. Of course, we all know that's absolutely true because science has decided. There's a scientific consensus. I'd just like to remind you that science is not a democracy in 60 seconds. I don't know about you. I tend to think that I can immediately tell quality. work when I see it. Take buying and selling houses, for example. What does it take to be a great
Starting point is 01:24:49 real estate agent? Yeah, I don't have any idea. I have absolutely no idea or didn't until we started real estate agents I trust. Seeing some pretty mediocre real estate agents in my day, but I have also seen the ones who get it done right. In fact, I've had lots of experience with them. I started out about 10 years ago representing the 500 best real estate agents in the nation, according to the Wall Street Journal, who ranks them. I started talking to them, getting to know them, and I found that there is something that ties them all together, best practices. So what are those best practices? We find them for you.
Starting point is 01:25:32 We find the real estate agents in your area that are actually using those practices. and we recommend those people to you. And you do your own homework, but it's a good start. Real estate agents, I trust.com. Though they're now, tell us where you're moving or buying, whether it's across the street or across the country, real estate agents. I trust.com. So tell me if you've heard this phrase before, scientific consensus.
Starting point is 01:26:03 I have a real problem with scientific or all of the experts, A consensus of 97% of government-funded scientists support the idea of man-made global warming. If it was said that way, I would probably have less of a problem with it. A consensus of 97% of government-funded scientists. All agree. Most scientists believe when a star goes supernova, the result is a dense, dense object called a black. hole. Nine out of ten dentists agree that crest toothpaste prevents tooth decay and would recommend crass tooth face for their family. Well, that's great. Nine out of ten. Well,
Starting point is 01:26:52 if nine out of ten dentists really do agree, then why don't they just ban all other toothpastes? I mean, we have the scientific consensus, don't we? Why don't we just ban everything else because they know more than you do. How about this one? 99% of scientists agree that bloodletting by way of leaching is healthy and will expel the evil spirits that are in your blood. That could have been said at one point because all the experts agreed that was true. What if a car company?
Starting point is 01:27:33 If a car company could just tell you what to do. If a car company knew that their new. technology was superior in all ways, but you didn't want to buy it. Imagine if experts said this car is better and you have to buy that car and you can no longer buy the cars. Wait a minute. Oh, that's happening. All right.
Starting point is 01:27:58 How about this one? Let's say a bunch of experts get together. And they told you you couldn't have ice cream or milk or beef because, wait, That's happening too. Yeah, but they would never tell you to eat bugs. Oh, they are saying to eat bugs. Okay, all right. Experts get together and they say,
Starting point is 01:28:22 the stove that you have in your house that you've used forever. Your kids grew up in the house. Everybody's fine. They now say that gas stove is too dangerous. Okay, they're doing that one too. Vacations are a thing of the past, so you can't ride airplanes. And they're doing that one too.
Starting point is 01:28:40 we have allowed a myth to develop. We may as well now call it the Al Gore myth, that there is some percentage of scientists or experts that is the right percentage of scientists or experts that must compel us to believe their theories, including being compelled to act upon those theories, even against the will of the people. Even if acting upon the consensus of opinion, some expert group cramples on the individual rights of others, it's okay because a majority of scientists think something together. So you don't matter anymore. I really, really, really, really hope that one of these days will realize the only expert that counts is you. that's the one that counts. Because look where the experts have gotten us. Did you see the experts?
Starting point is 01:29:50 They're talking about the new song that is out. What's that guy's name, Oliver, Anthony Oliver? No, Oliver, Anthony, I believe. Yeah, you have two first names. Yeah, you don't get to choose the order when you have that problem. No, uh-uh. All of the experts are now saying he's worthless, he's no good, he's just a deplorable.
Starting point is 01:30:13 Why? And why do we care what they say? We have Alex Clark on. She's the host of the Spillow Over from Turning Point USA. That's two first names too. You could call her Clark Alex. I am. I am.
Starting point is 01:30:31 And they're both guy names and yet she's a woman. Interesting. So Clark, Alex, as if that is your real name. name. Welcome to the program. How are you? Thanks. I'm feeling good. I feel like America is kind of back with this song. I'm so excited. You like it? I do like it and I was excited. I checked so I checked the iTunes charts this morning, Glenn, and he's not only number one on iTunes with this song, but the top 50 on iTunes right now is filled with multiple songs of his. So because of this song, now, people are going and they're streaming a ton of his song.
Starting point is 01:31:15 So his song is the most viral song in the country right now. And then Jason Al Deans, try that in a small town. I mean, that's pretty telling about the state of America. No, but experts will tell us that those are just for deplorables, that those are just Hicks, that this isn't saying anything except Donald Trump should be the ruler in King. for the whole world forever. I mean, they are dismissive. This song, I think, is it cuts right to the core of how people are feeling,
Starting point is 01:31:54 and they don't care. They don't care. Yeah, well, you weren't born to just pay bills and die. And any genre of music, you know, especially when there is truth and there's passion and their soul in the performer performing the song, that's going to resonate with people. That could be said for anybody. I mean, if you just look across history
Starting point is 01:32:19 and what songs have done particularly well, it's whatever artist has kind of captured the cultural zeitgeist of the moment. And that is what this guy has done. This song has tapped into the cultural zeitgeist of the silent majority. He's talking about growing wealth disparity. He's talking about a 1984 Orwellian,
Starting point is 01:32:43 government overreach. He's talking about rampant inflation and taxes being unfair. He's talking about people being hungry and how we have fat homeless people because all we do is feed the poor processed, low quality, cheap food in this country, a welfare state, male depression. This is what real people are going through. And yet they don't seem to either hear it or care. And I'm not sure that this guy is necessarily a conservative or a Trump supporter or, you know, everybody's like, hey, he's on our side. I don't know if he is. I have no idea. I know that we have tried to get him on several times and he wants to stay away from political shows because he doesn't want to be made into just a political thing. But everything is political now. Everything.
Starting point is 01:33:38 Yeah, but I think that's smart for him to do. I mean, just look at look at how. Morgan Wallen has had to scrape his way back up after his near cancellation and end of his career. I think it is a mistake for any artistic work. I think movies, music, to just be broadly and openly labeled conservative if it's just talking about culture like this. Because I think we really need brand, we need artists, brand new artists like Oliver. We need movies like Sound of Freedom that are really just calling attention to common sense. And I think that when we are very quick to call these things conservative, that alienates a lot of people in the movie. And then it prevents the message from getting out. So if all people see is like, oh, there's this viral song by this Oliver Anthony guy, but he's conservative.
Starting point is 01:34:28 It's a political song. They're going to be like, well, I'm not going to listen to that. But if we're just like, hey, there's this like amazing song talking about life or whatever. It's just like very generic. Then they're like, okay, I'll listen. And then his message is likely to really resonate. Well, I have to tell you, that's the way I received it and that's the way I passed it on to friends was, you got to listen to this guy. Listen to the words of what he's saying. I don't think he's concerned. I mean, he might vote like a conservative. I don't know. But this is an American message. It's not like Democrats aren't suffering under Bidomics. It's not like they're not feeling everything that, that, that, conservatives are feeling. You can't tell me that they like it. I'm sure some do, but it's,
Starting point is 01:35:19 it's an American message for the time. And you know, the other is they're the ones separating themselves. When you see the sound of freedom, that is something that should appeal to every American, every American. It is the one thing that I really thought we still agreed on. Slavery is bad. exploitation is bad. Rape is bad. But apparently not. You know, Disney held that movie and wouldn't release it
Starting point is 01:35:52 until they were kind of had their hand forced. Then they gave it to Angel and Angel took it and run. And there's no point where they say, oh, you know, I guess maybe we should have, no. They're releasing Snow White
Starting point is 01:36:08 where she's talking about, you know, the sexism of the story and the dwarves. It's crazy. Yeah, exactly. I had the same thought that there's no way that this song could have this massive amount of success if only conservatives are listening to it and relating to it. So you know that there are people who might be classical liberals who traditionally vote Democrat. And I'm not talking about a leftist because that's just the whole other breed of people. But the liberals, I'm sure that there are some that are like, you know what? I also feel
Starting point is 01:36:39 crippled, you know, by inflation right now. My small business. business is struggling. Like I relate to this guy. And the reaction videos on YouTube, you know, people that like play the song and then they, they show themselves reacting to it, the videos are men and women of all races, all shapes, all sizes. And every single one of these people, Glenn, they're moved to tears. They're moved to tears. The reaction to this song being as big as it's been, I really think should give people some hope for 2024. And I think that's a really smart decision from this guy to say, I'm not going to do any political shows. Like, just keep speaking truth. And that's how you, that's how you actually red pill people. You don't tell
Starting point is 01:37:22 them, you know, you don't give a kid, like vegetables, you put it in a smoothie or whatever. You tell them they're having something else so that they'll actually eat it. Like, that's what this guy's doing. I think that's super smart. What do you think of Alejandro Monteverde? He is the guy that has, He directed the Sound of Freedom. He's probably one of the world's best directors that no one knows yet. I've been following him for years. He's amazing. And he was immediately, they called the movie Sound of Freedom, QAnon, which the movie was made two years before QAnon even showed up.
Starting point is 01:38:10 Where does the Q&ONN stuff come from? At this point, it's just a way to use as an excuse, I think, to shut people up and get us to stop talking about any productive or important conversation. I think it's the most frustrating thing for me. I mean, as soon as that Q&M stuff started flowing around online, like, I knew this was focus. And I was like, I wish we would stop talking about it because I knew that this would be held against us at our throats as conservatives for the rest of time. Like, we are never escaping that crap. and it will always be held against us to invalidate any important message we have to say and say that we're just conspiracy theorists.
Starting point is 01:38:52 I have to tell you, I know this is a conspiracy theory, but it is, it's a very well-run disinformation campaign. And I don't know who started it, but boy, it sure has benefited one group of people to discredit others and also to discredit things like. like pedophilia, you know, there is, there's, there's, there's a lot of people in, in powerful positions, especially in Hollywood, that seem to like pedophilia. And, and, uh, and, uh, it's just interesting to me that QAnon kind of arose to prominence all about, uh, pedophilia. Thank you so much for being, what?
Starting point is 01:39:38 A heck of a sentence. But it did. It did. I mean, you know, look, it's a, it was, you're saying basically like, what exactly that, you know, obviously because there were some high profile criminals right in Hollywood that were prosecuted for this. Yeah. Certainly Jeffrey Epstein and. If I wanted to make sure that, you know, Epstein looked like a crazy, you know, not a big story. If I wanted to, you know, make sure I'm protecting friends in Hollywood that were pedophiles.
Starting point is 01:40:12 and I knew I was going to normalize pedophilia. The thing I would do is get people to laugh at pedophilia through something like QAnon. They're going to way to wreck your opponents, essentially. Yeah, wreck your opponent. Wreck the credibility of all that so you can go out and do what they did on Sound of Freedom and say it's not that big of a deal. Certainly what they're doing with by promoting it all the time and talking about Q&N. When I don't know anyone who believes, I don't know anybody. I've never met a person who actually.
Starting point is 01:40:42 actually believes all the QAnon stuff, but yet it's out there all the time in the media. Sorry to interrupt. Sorry to end the interview with that, Alex. Yeah. Sorry, Alex.

Starting point is 01:42:38 So Donald Trump has been indicted yet again. I'm getting tired of this story, getting tired of saying this story. Can you imagine Donald Trump? I think it's practically a joke with him at this point. Oh, I've been indicted again. This time, for what? How many? He has to be at that point.
Starting point is 01:42:58 I mean, it does seem completely ridiculous over and over again. We hear the same exact story, you know, but I've seen the coverage and it seems a little different than what I just heard last week. Last week when the special counsel was announced for Hunter Biden, CNN went on a lengthy rant about, you know, maybe it was Danabash. I hate to bring humanity into this, but think about the struggles of this family.
Starting point is 01:43:23 Five years of this. This has been going on for five years. This really is a strain on the family and very difficult on Hunter Biden and his family members. I mean, can you imagine what this must be like? I'm telling myself, you guys have spent eight years at least
Starting point is 01:43:43 every moment of every day basically prosecuting Donald Trump, right? Like, what's the what's the strain on his family? I don't think there's been a moment of consideration about that. You know, and I don't know that it's even a news organization's role to worry about the strain of the family of someone being questioned legally, but still, I mean, come on.
Starting point is 01:44:06 Every single little bit of what even something they could call evidence was a confirmation that he was a Russian agent for eight years. See, that is the problem. You know, they say every time with every new indictment. This is the one. This one. This is going to put him in jail.
Starting point is 01:44:22 They've been saying that for nine years. And they never have anything. Any of that. Right. Yet when we have text messages from under Biden's associates saying, hey, by the way, don't message Joe. They get paranoid. Only talk about that in person.
Starting point is 01:44:40 There's no evidence that Joe was involved. They say there's no. No evidence, even though they have that text message already on record. It's incredible.

Starting point is 01:44:59 Our dog Darby, very large, 11-year-old German Shepherd, doing much better since we've been supplementing her diet with rough greens. Her skin issues have cleared up. She seems perkier and less lethargic. She's on joint supplements, but her joints actually seem to bother her. a lot less ever since she started taking Rough Greens. Thanks for letting me know, Glenn, about the product.
Starting point is 01:45:20 Rough Greens is not a dog food. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black, and you sprinkle it on the food for your dog. Remember, brown food is dead food. You want the greens. Thus, Rough Greens on top. The folks at Rough Green is so confident that your dog's

Starting point is 01:46:29 because I was going to rant about Fox News yesterday. Stu was going to rant about it today, and you still are. I give you full permission to do that, Stu. But we wanted to make sure that what was being said, because yesterday we saw a news report that this is a little inside baseball, that we cannot use more than three minutes total of the audio from the presidential debate. Now, I've never seen that before. is saying, you know, we've had that since 2016, 2020. We've done that.
Starting point is 01:47:07 It does seem to be, there was a policy in 2016 on these debates that was similar. But they did not enforce. Right. I mean, it would be weird to enforce it, right? Like, why would you want to hide the information from voters? Like, these are your listeners. These are the people that are supporting. It's really interesting, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:47:25 That's a good question. It is a good question. I mean, we now can't hear from Tucker Carlson or any of the candidates. Right. Like, how are we supposed to? So here's the thing. They are apparently enforcing it this year. And I've never seen that.
Starting point is 01:47:41 Not in my entire career. I was around for the Jimmy Carter Ronald Reagan presidential. I was on radio. I've done a ton of them in talk radio. I have done what? This would be our fifth presidential election in talk radio. I've never had to worry about fair use on any clip ever, ever.
Starting point is 01:48:11 And now Premier and other radio networks are issuing saying, I don't think we can air any clips from Fox News. So wait a minute, you're telling me that as a commentator, I can't take a presidential debate and take the audio clips from it and play it for you the next day. I mean, I can't imagine that would hold up in court, but I don't want to get sued. So I understood this is the threat of litigation. So help me out, Stu. What are they doing? What is Fox News doing?
Starting point is 01:48:52 I mean, look, the best most rosy part of idea here would be that they have a product that they're paying. to produce and they want people to go to Fox News to watch it. So, wait a minute. I understand that. I understand that. But that's why you don't let anybody take it live. So you're watching because you're going to get about 8 to 10 million people watching. That's it.
Starting point is 01:49:16 But you will expose it to 50 or 100 million people if you let people take the fair use. Hey, on the Fox News debate last night, this is what happened. Yeah. If you cut that out, your speaking. directly to about 8 million people. That's it. I mean, it would certainly be, if this is real, and here's my hope that we have a week here before this, and this, there's some sane resolution behind the scenes that makes it okay for people to cover the news. Hopefully there's, Fox comes to their senses and there's a sane resolution of this, and I hope for that.
Starting point is 01:49:50 But without it, I mean, you're basically, you're certainly putting your own network and business interest above the country. you don't want your own viewers to be educated on who the candidates are or people who may have just missed your broadcast. I mean, how often do we put debate clips in political commercials? There's a specific clause that says you cannot use it for any reason after a week after the debate. So once a week past the debate happens, if you play any clip for any reason,
Starting point is 01:50:20 they're going to sue you or threaten they could sue you, I guess, in this engagement. You're breaking what they say is the very use. But that's what I'm saying is it's never been enforced. And, you know, when it comes to things like this, you only own things if you enforce it every time. It's why Disney is known to be just deadly in the courtroom. Because you have to defend your brand every single time it's challenged. And if you don't, you lose that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:53 I mean, look, maybe this is just lawyers doing their thing and it'll get, it'll get, they'll come to their senses and we'll get to a sane resolution. I don't want to, I don't want to say that that won't happen because it doesn't make any sense, right? If you're Fox, the whole point of this is not, this is not a, this is not a,
Starting point is 01:51:11 you know, a special show that you're doing, you know, a special episode of, you know, whoever's on Fox these days. Whoever, wherever that person is,
Starting point is 01:51:19 it's a special episode and you're doing a special documentary or something. That's not what this is. This is a news event. And yes, they're covering it. And yes, be mentioned. Every time a clip is used. This is the Fox News debate from last night, of course. You know, but that's the way it's traditionally been done. And I can't imagine that courts would
Starting point is 01:51:38 look at this and say, oh, yeah, though, they're right. They can designate the fair use. You can't listen to the presidential candidates say things. Why would it? MSNBC would then every time they say something, a candidate, Biden goes on MSNBC and he says something dumb, we wouldn't be able to cover it? It's absurd. It doesn't make any sense. It can't be in. It can't be in. It is like the thing where... Come on. You're getting back. I know, I'm just listening to you.
Starting point is 01:52:04 How many times have we said today that doesn't make any sense? It is a common refrain. And we keep going back to that well of, well, it can't be because it doesn't make any sense. Yeah. I don't know this for you. Maybe we're the ones that don't make any sense in today's world. And it's hilarious because MSNBC is running these things. They're like, oh, all these stupid idiot conservatives are all mad.
Starting point is 01:52:27 because they can't use the footage from Fox and this shows how stupid they are. You know, how many times they've used clips of the Glenn Beck program on MSNBC? Should we go back and sue them for every one of those? Like, of course they should be able, if you say something stupid, they should be able to highlight it and say how stupid you are because you're a public figure and a news figure and they should be able to cover the news. That's the way this works. Now, there are abuses to that, right?
Starting point is 01:52:53 They can't air the entire Glenn Beck program on MSNBC because they're supposed to pay you. if they want to do that. But like for a news clip, a fair use, like, this sort of agreement couldn't possibly hold up in court. But again, who wants to get in a fight? I'd rather just reenact the thing before. Well, I'm going to start on puppets now. I would actually like,
Starting point is 01:53:15 I would like somebody to make a puppet of each of the candidates and send them to me. Oh, God. You're going to get nine million puppets set to the sentence of it. Well, I'm only going to use the best. So they better be good if you want to see it on. TV. I'm not sorting through your puppet requests. Okay, that's not my job. Find somebody else. What's our P.O. box?
Starting point is 01:53:34 I know. Ask him for our P.O. box. No one knows what our P.O. boxes. We don't have a P.O. box. Yes, we do. We don't have an address. Get Craig. Craig. Craig doesn't know. Craig. He doesn't speak our language. Come on. Open the door and ask Craig. Craig's walking out the door. He's too far away now. Look at him. He's all the way over there. That's glass.
Starting point is 01:53:53 He can't get through the glass. No. Yeah. He's talking to somebody else. They're always just turned around and looked at Sarah. I don't think so. So I'll get you a P.O. box here for a second. You want people to mail you puppets? Is this a real request? Are you actually going on the radio right now and saying you want people to mail you puppets?
Starting point is 01:54:12 Yeah. Yeah. Are you kidding me? I mean, years ago, I did ask the audience to mail me an A. And the first one that got here that wasn't broken, one. Now, I didn't think that went all the way through for the sorting machines. No. And the post office did have a problem with that one.
Starting point is 01:54:37 But puppets. What would the shipping alone be on a Chris Christie puppet? I mean, that's like, no, no, thousands of dollars. I have to hold it up on my hand. So it can't be. Well, it can't be like, it's getting me to scale then. What is it? P.O. Box what?
Starting point is 01:54:52 Yes. Don't do it. This is you. Don't put this on me. Should I give it to him? You make the decision. Sarah, who do you work for? Out of how many puppets show up here?
Starting point is 01:55:02 I want Sarah sorting the puppets. We don't have a PO box. I don't want you to sort them, Sarah. I don't want you to sort them. Yeah, until they start coming in. No, no, I won't have you sort them. I promise you. I won't have you sort them.
Starting point is 01:55:15 I am not sorting them. I will not sort puppets. What's the PO box? There we go. Sarah's now pulling it up on her phone. Send them to Glenn Beck presidential puppets. P.O. Box One, four,
Starting point is 01:55:38 three, one, eight, nine. I'm saying them in duplicate like that. It's not going to lead to any problems at all. What city is that? Is that Irvin? Irving, Texas. How big is this? How big is this P.O. box?
Starting point is 01:55:53 It's an enormous P.O. box. It really is. And what's the zip code? How about if I just tell you the whole thing? Yeah, let's do the whole thing. Sarah, here's Sarah now with the, making the decision. decision to get puppets sent here. Sarah? Okay. I just want to make sure management knows who made the decision here.
Starting point is 01:56:10 Sarah? Here's Sarah. Sarah. Sarah? One, two, three, Yemen, Road. No, no. What's the real address? P.O. Box.
Starting point is 01:56:20 143. 189. Irving, Texas. 3,900, teleport, Boulevard. Teleport Boulevard. I don't even believe this. That can't be a real address. I swear.
Starting point is 01:56:32 Oh, my gosh. It is, apparently. Boulevard. Irving, Texas? Yeah, 75039. 75039. I want you to know if there are puppets that show up at some place and they're left outside in a box in this heat,
Starting point is 01:56:50 their blood will be on your hands. So what I'm looking for now, you ain't going to make them any way you want, but I'm looking for puppets that look like each presidential candidate so we can reenact the Fox News debate in puppets. Okay? So we need them by what, the end of next week, right? Isn't it Thursday?
Starting point is 01:57:16 It is next Wednesday night. Next Wednesday night. You better hurry. You better hurry. So get your puppet making materials. Hopefully you just have lots of puppets hanging around after all the candidates and you just kind of ship them out. And I don't think maybe just people just have them.
Starting point is 01:57:30 And I don't think that maybe that we need a, I mean, do we need a Mike Pence puppet? He's on the stage. He made it, by the way. That was the, he's the most recent one to make it. So who is on the stage? I believe seven of them have made it. Oh my gosh, that's a world of puppet.
Starting point is 01:57:47 Now, if Trump, we do not expect to actually, at this point, do not expect. We need a Trump puppet. That should be easy. Well, that one, I'm sure, exists. You just make it sock with crazy hair. How dare you? His hair is the most. No, it's luxurious.
Starting point is 01:58:03 luxurious hair there has ever been. Let's see. So it's off the top of my head. Let's see it. Ramoswami's made it. DeSantis has made it. Pence has made it. Trump has made it.
Starting point is 01:58:16 Christy has made it. Haley has made it. Scott has made it. Might be all of them. Did I miss anybody off? Anyone see Mavi? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. It could be eight, but it's seven or eight.
Starting point is 01:58:29 What's that? I said DeSantis. Yep. Yeah. So those are the puppets we need. If you happen to know a puppet maker, you're somebody who says, I've always wanted to make presidential puppets,
Starting point is 01:58:42 now is your chance. This is your big moment. Yeah, it is your big moment. And your puppets could be famous, and I could make you famous as a puppet maker. All you have to do is just send them to Glenn Beck presidential puppets, P.O. Box. That's a terrible idea.
Starting point is 01:59:00 143-189, teleport, teleport boulevard. I just don't think that's... Wasn't there a number before teleport Boulevard? Yeah. Boazzo. That's important. 3,900 teleport.
Starting point is 01:59:13 3,900. This is the most complex. Yeah. 3,900, teleport boulevard. It's 75039. Send your puppets now. And not with eggs. This is a, this is going to be,
Starting point is 01:59:30 a terrible idea. I think it's going to be great. I think you're going to be surprised to how good the puppets are. Oh, I bet they're going to be incredible. Yeah, you know how many grandmas are out there right now that have been like making quilts and everything. They can make anything.

Starting point is 02:01:19 Via Raille The Voice Korn Em You know you're blaming me here for this And it's really Fox News That is at fault We wouldn't need the puppets If
Starting point is 02:01:31 Fox News would let us use the video And the audio I mean I agree with that But you are turning a bad situation Into an utter catastrophe How is it a catastrophe? What is possibly going to happen? I don't know everything that's going to happen. This is why you take moments
Starting point is 02:01:47 to think about things before announcing them. I've had three minutes since we announced it and I still. I have you three full minutes. What could possibly happen with people sending in puppets? I don't know, Mr. Please send me eggs in the mail. I'm not sure. The eggs are different than puppets. I learned my lesson. Oh, I was young and stupid. Really? I was 19 years old. I was stupid. You were stupid. In the past tense. Now I'm a hall of fame. Now you're smart and absolutely. asking for puppets to be mailed to you. Yes, that's right. You want a Mike Pence puppet mailed to you.
Starting point is 02:02:17 Yes. And you're saying, I used to be stupid. Okay. That's what you're saying? Look, all I'm looking for, listen to me. The reason why I ask for puppets is because I actually do have a puppet show idea. Okay? I'm an idea man.
Starting point is 02:02:32 And I've wanted to do this puppet show for a long time. But I don't know anybody that makes good puppets. Don't know anybody. I don't know anybody who's good with puppets. Because I'm not going to like utilizing the puppets actually. Yes. Yes. And maybe they're all just professionals.
Starting point is 02:02:48 Maybe you go from I have no interest to puppets to I'm a puppeteer overnight. I don't know. Like it's quarter like porn stars. Like you've never done porn. All of a sudden you're a porn star. You're a porn star. You're a porn star automatically. Pretty much.
Starting point is 02:03:01 Pretty much. It's like a prostitution. I'm not a prostitute. Oh, you just gave me money. I am a prostitute. Oh, wow. Okay. It's that.
Starting point is 02:03:10 Snap your fingers. It happens. So what I'm. So what I'm looking for Are puppets of the presidential candidates Do we need a Brett Bear and Martha McCallum puppet? If somebody has time to do them, sure Because then, well, who's going to make the little desk?
Starting point is 02:03:26 A puppet desk you want? It's going to make the little puppet desk and the puppet, you know, podiums. I don't know, that's a big question. I'll take care of the puppet desk and the puppet podiums. But you don't want your candidate without, I mean, because I'll have to just make a sock puppet and so like an eye to it. And you don't want that. You don't want that.
