Exposing the Biden Admin's 'Bidenbucks' Election Scheme | Guests: AG Austin Knudsen & Sen. Mike Lee | 8/16/24

Glenn Beck
Let me talk to you about Jace medical.

Hey, did you hear there's another emergency stew? This time it might be monkeypox. Or it could be the bird flu. If we could just get the birds and the monkeys to mate, we'd all be dead.

Anyway, bird flu is popping up. And are you prepared for that?

I mean, I know because of Jay's case, I can get Tamiflu and have Tamiflu for my family. Do you have Tamiflu?

Also, any. Any antibiotic or any medication that you have to have. You might want to get the J's case a personalized emergency kit that contains at the base, the essential antibiotics and medications that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections. It provides five life saving antibiotics for emergency use. And you can add on they have things like ivermectin, tamiflu, et cetera, et cetera. You just. You just go to their website right now. Jace.com. that's jase.com, glenn. And it's actually slash blaire, I guess. And you enter the promo code peck, and you'll get a discount on your order.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment, entertainment, entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Well, it was Wednesday when I got on and said, harris is America's Chavez or Maduro. Well, she's confirmed that, you know, you might want to. When people are calling you a communist, you might not want to propose communist ideas, but she's done it. She's got a. She's got a great weapon called price controls. We get into that and all of the news of the week and the day in 60 seconds.

Price controls, so, you know, have never worked anywhere. They've been tried.

All the best places have tried them, like Cuba and Venezuela and Russia and East Berlin. I mean, that's what it is. It's communist.

And you will reap the benefits of that.

The other thing she wants to do is build a bunch of houses. So the government's going to start building houses. Oh, that doesn't sound communistic at all, does it?

And giving away money so you can buy houses, which would lead to more inflation.

There's a shot. This is our next president.

I hope to God not, but there's a shot.

May I suggest you call Lear capital today also, you know, they have gold and silver that you can take some of the savings that you might have, your retirement funds, and convert it over to gold and silver. It is so important that you do this now before your dollar continues to lose more money. Your dollar has lost. Twenty five cents of every dollar. You have been saving your stock market. Well, you know, I gained 10%. Okay. That means you lost $0.15 on every dollar because you gained. You're not gaining anything right now. You're losing money. Please, if you. Especially if you have retirement coming, please make sure you protect your savings with gold or silver. Just call Lear capital now. They'll credit your account $250. All you have to do is call them. Call them now at 800 957 gold.

Gold.

Well, hello, stu. How are you?

Stu
Very well, Glenn. Are you feeling a little bit better today?

Glenn Beck
Yeah. You know, I've just had the weakest vocal cords known to man. I don't know. I don't know how I got this job. I'm clearly not qualified for it. And it's not like I'm physically qualified for it. I have the worst vocal.

Anytime.

Anytime I get a stuffy head. Vocal cords are gone. So it's nice. It's really nice. But thanks for filling in yesterday. I appreciate it.

And I'm going to try to not raise my voice today so I can make it for the 3 hours.

I don't. I've seen what I have to talk about today. Not sure that's possible, but I'm going to try.

And I want. You know, I also want to talk about some.

Some other things. I mean, may I. May I just start with cut one here?

I've got a lot to say about this, and I'm going to compare and contrast later on in the program. But I can't take the folksy videos that are coming out, you know, from Harris and Walz. They're so folksy. They're so real. They're so authentic. Here's Harrison Walz trying to talk about tacos. Listen, like, I have white guy tacos and, like, mayonnaise and tuna. What are you doing? Pretty much ground beef and cheese. That's okay. Do you put any flavor in it? No.

Here's the deal.

No, they said to be careful and let her know this, that black pepper is the top of the spice level in Minnesota. You know, I'm the first spice president, I believe, who has ever grown chili peppers. I'm trying to expand my food knowledge. You know what we're going to look at? Be fine.

Oh, they're great. They're great. Joy. That's Joy. I'm gonna grab me a beer. Stu. Oh, here's Stu. Hi, Stu. You weren't expected.

Stu
I know. That's me. I just walked into this unexpected scene.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. And I'm so stupid and so arrogant that I think I'm the first one to grow. Grow peppers. Nobody's done peppers before. Thomas Jefferson, you know, he. Yes, he was a botanist, but he didn't grow anything like that Thomas Jefferson had in his garden when the world thought tomatoes were poison.

Poison.

He was growing tomatoes. And apparently his guests were always aghast when he would serve tomatoes. You were trying to poison me, Mister Jefferson? And he'd be like, no, watch, I'm going to eat it. And then he'd eat it and he wouldn't die.

So I think he might be a little ahead of you. Uh, Kamala, maybe a little bit. Oh, man. But maybe that's just me.

Stu
That's a great Glenn Beck fact check right there. I will say I watched that video. At no point did I question whether she was the first person who grew peppers. And you actually knew that. I know.

Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah.

Stu
Of all the things in that video, there's a hundred annoying, offensive, just cringe worthy things. I had not thought of the fact that she was just blatantly lying yet again.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, no, she's not lying there. She's just dumb. She doesn't know. Okay? She's. She lives in her self imposed socialist bubble where everything that America did. Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner, and that's all I care about. He was a slave owner. He had nothing else. It was just slaves.

Stu
Wasn't her. Weren't her relatives also slave owners?

Glenn Beck
Your great great great grandfather or great grandfather were. Yeah. It was a notorious slave owner. In fact, in the town. The town that he's from, I think it's in Jamaica, the town is named after him, and it's a big, you know, big statue. And, you know, and I think it's got a quote about slavery from him. It's beautiful. No, that's a. That's a. I'm, you know, I'm wondering, is she going to get money for reparations or is she going to have to pay reparations?

Stu
Wouldn't that be satisfying if she passed some policy and she had to pay the reparations? Because, I mean, I. Yeah, I. Again, they just wanted to make. This is a skin color thing to them. It's got nothing to do with reparations.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Stu
So I assume she'd receive it, but I think she should be on the other side.

Glenn Beck
She could receive both because she was a victim of the asian smears. You know, the Asians built the railroads here and the white man oppressed them. So she could probably get some railroad money from those damn Vanderbilts. No, Dan Vanderbilt.

The actual last name of Anderson Cooper is Vanderbilt. So do we go after the Vanderbilts or not? I don't know. Are they good or bad?

Stu
Maybe she can get her reparations from Joe Biden, whom she did, of course, basically call racist on stage during one of the debates. Perhaps he could be the one paying.

Glenn Beck
Maybe, maybe, maybe. Still, let me ask you something. I want to go back to the monkeypox thing.

Stu
Oh, good.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. How do you get monkeypox?

Stu
I don't even know what monkeypox is. I know m pox is a situation going on right now.

Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so offensive.

Stu
Yeah. Cause that is very offensive. You're blaming the monkeys.

Is that the thing we're supposed to do?

Glenn Beck
Or the people that might have had, you know, intimate relation. And I'm not condemning you. A monkeys are people too. So I don't want to condemn anybody who makes a choice and is like, I'm going to have sex with a monkey, you know, because every choice is equal and great. Well, how dare you? Are you thinking about having sex with a monkey? Are you trying to appropriate, appropriate somebody else's culture? How dare you?

Stu
Anyway, I've been hearing a little bit about the communities that are affected with Mpox, Glenn and the community, apparently that this has been a problem in is the men having sex with men community, which is.

Glenn Beck
Well, we used to have a word.

Stu
That would describe that type of activity, but no longer does it apply. Now we have 94 words that describe the activity.

Glenn Beck
Right, right. You know, and I mean, I'm kind of torn on this because that's horrible. Horrible. But then again, I mean, that's probably 90% of the Biden Harris staff. So administration.

Yeah, I mean, I mean, could wipe out the administration. That would be. And that would be horrible. It would be horrible.

Stu
But so the. Because mpox is.

I was listening to a report on this, and I will be honest with you, I've not followed the details of it all that closely, but they say that most people would just recover from it. Is that accurate?

They're making it out.

Glenn Beck
It's a death. Death rate of about 4%.

Stu
Okay, so, I mean, much, that's it. That's not how they inter. When Covid was here and the death rate was much lower than 4%, they were very, very concerned about every child, uh, who got it dying.

Glenn Beck
Uh, well, apparently it has mutated. It has mutated. So it's not just people, men having sex with men. It has mutated now. Um, and, uh, it's, it's mutated into a way where you could give it to children, uh, now. And I don't know if that's, I don't know, maybe that's crt. I don't know, I mean, maybe that's, you know, I don't, I don't know how that's contracted with children now, but it has, it has jumped. And I'm sure that there wasn't a laboratory anywhere in the world that was doing experiments with monkeypox.

Stu
We can be sure there's no risk of that. Obviously, now we know that's been debunked. There was a letter that came out around the start of COVID that, that debunked all of that. So I'm no longer concerned about lab leak theories at all.

But it is interesting that like they, we do have like a new threat of some oncoming pandemic or, you know, health emergency seemingly every few months these days. The bird flu one is now in the, in the pipeline. It seems they keep talking about that.

Glenn Beck
If.

Attention, Doctor Fauci. Doctor Anthony Fauci to the experimentation room. Could you please try to put bird flu and monkeypox together and then make sure it gets into humans. Do that. Find the easiest way for it to jump into humans and then we can cure it.

Stu
Well, how are we not creating it?

Glenn Beck
Like, I don't know, it seems, just saying, I mean, it's kind of like the nuclear weapon, you know?

Well, maybe we shouldn't have made it in the first place, you know, now that one, it was going to be made by somebody. So I'd rather have it with the good guys than the bad guys. So we could use it as a, as a mutually assured destruction thing. But these things are not going to happen in nature. You know, the birds and the monkeys and man are not all three going to have a threesome, you know what I mean? It's like, oh, have you had bird sex? It is tremendous.

Don't look down on me.

Stu
Certain species, they're not. Not everyone is impressive in the bedroom.

Are you bringing up the.

Glenn Beck
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Are you against bird sex?

Stu
No, no, no. It seems, I'm sure it's delightful. I'm sure it's wonderful. I'm not gonna try to experience it, but I'm sure I don't wanna judge anyone for the choices that they're making.

Glenn Beck
Absolutely, absolutely.

Stu
Are you breathing?

Glenn Beck
Here, birdie, birdie, why don't you just perch on this branch? Oh, hang on somebody at your door.

Stu
What is that?

Glenn Beck
I don't know what that was.

Stu
Okay, good. Are you bringing up nuclear war because of your podcast? Is that. Is this just deeply in your head?

Glenn Beck
Let me ask you this. Are you just bringing up the podcast because you are so wildly uncomfortable with.

Stu
The bird sex talk? No, this has been fantastic. No, but I mean, you do have a huge podcast that I know you're excited about.

Glenn Beck
Yes, I am. Thank you, Stu, for that unusual transition into something more safe.

I'm going to tell you about that coming up in just a second. 1st let me talk to you about relief.

It's his job. That's what he does. That's what he's hired to do, you know? But see, stu, I'm 60, so I don't care anymore.

Stu
No, I definitely noticed that there's no.

Glenn Beck
There's no 60. When you're 60 or so, you know, you're just like, ah, that's grandpa. You know, we don't really take grandpa seriously, so don't worry about it because I'm using those words. I'm going there. I'm just gonna. I don't care. Anyway, great. Great.

Stu
It's great to hear. It's always wonderful.

Glenn Beck
It's gonna be good for your, gonna be good for your career. It's gonna be very good.

Anyway, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's relief factor sleep. If you're having a hard time getting to sleep every night, um, you know, or even on some nights, try relief factor sleep. As if the day weren't hard enough to deal with, you go to bed and you're like, I listened to the Glenn Beck program today. I don't. I don't think I can sleep for another month. Take relief after sleep.

Millions of Americans have difficulty sleeping. Many of them turn to all kinds of different kinds of substances to help with sleep. And some of them, you know, I would compare it to a really bad blackouthenne. You know, anything that says, do not take unless in bed, you probably shouldn't take. You know what I mean? Probably. You could make some bad choices on that anyway.

Holy cow. Is that what's happening to today's show? No. I take z factor from relief factor. Z factor. All you have to do is just take it. It's 100% drug free. It's all natural ingredients. Help you sleep, help you fall asleep. Sleep sounder and longer.

You sleep right through the night. We discover the joy of great night sleep with z factor from relief factor. Relief factor.com. that's relieffactor.com. dot, 10 seconds. Station id tell you, I'm on all kinds of antibiotics today, so I am just flying high.

So anything could happen on today's program.

Let's see. Well, let's talk about Annie Jacobson. Have you ever read any of her books? Do, I don't think I have.

Stu
You've highly recommended this most recent one, and I've heard a lot of good things as well.

Glenn Beck
I've read, I've read several of her books. She's interested in all exactly the same things I'm interested in, and she does.

Well, that one is kind of, you know, I kind of think that we, maybe we should be talking about that one. A little bit of, you know, Donald Trump was on with Elon Musk, and I'm telling you, he brought it up like seven times out of the blue. They'd be like, you know, Elon, be like, hey, yeah, but have you ever, have you ever driven one of my cars? No. I'm telling you, the most dangerous thing in our world today is nuclear apocalypse, and it could happen tomorrow.

Yeah, but we, I mean, it's like we have an iPad in between the seats. Nuclear apocalypse. I think we should probably pay attention to this. So I asked, I asked Annie to come in because she has this great new book. It's called, I think it's just called nuclear war.

And she takes you minute, second by second, minute by minute, for the first, I think maybe 2 hours of a nuclear conflict, it always ends the same way.

And I brought her in and I talked to her about it. Let me just give you, this is a little frightening, a little frightening from Annie Jacobson's new book, Nuclear War.

This is how unprepared our leaders are. Cut. Twelve.

Annie Jacobson
One of the most remarkable reveals that I learned in reporting the book was how unaware world leaders are as to the realities of nuclear war. And at least that can be said about individuals, presidents of the United States, and that is based on their closest advisors, by the way, meaning, you know, I think it was Bill Perry, another former secretary of defense, who said to me, you know, most come into office unprepared. They don't want to know.

So again, it reinforces this idea that we'll never have a nuclear war. I have so many other things to worry about at home and abroad, so let me just focus on those things, including my popularity at the expense of this existential threat that looms over all of us. And so for that specific reason, in reporting the book, I wanted to take the reader from nuclear launch to nuclear winter, take them in seconds and minutes, as you say, not bring them, not offer up my opinion or even the opinion of wise analysts about how this could happen or how leaders might feel squeezed, as you say, just what's going to happen. And I hope that all of the leaders around the world read this book and realize that's the, you've hit upon the most important quote, by the way, Reagan and Gorbachev. Nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.

Glenn Beck
In reading this, I have shared it with so many people and the people that I, that I take seriously and the people that I think are up to speed and are awake on what we might be facing. I'll say, have you read Annie J. And they'll stop me. Yes, it is absolutely terrifying, isn't it?

But there's so many people that haven't read it that should. And it goes to the point, you know, when I saw the moment in the debate where Joe Biden, and I do not say this as a partisan, everybody came out of that worried about, oh, my gosh, how could he run for and win against Donald Trump? He's not going to win. And all I heard in my head was, most presidents are not prepared. And when I'm listening to that section of, when they're bringing the black book of death out of the decisions that he and he alone has to make, I thought I wouldn't be prepared for. Nobody would be prepared for that. Okay. This guy cannot be the man with the football.

Speaker one. It is part of my podcast. You have to hear her answer on this. And let me just, can we play cut 22, please?

This is Joe Biden. Yesterday in, in Baltimore, trying to speak in front of a crowd. Legislation led by Senator Frank Church that let negotiate, let Medicare negotiate the cost of drugs.

Plate cut 21.

Americans don't like being played for suckers. We believe we should be patient, that there should be reasonable problems, not unreasonable.

Stu
What?

Glenn Beck
I mean, the guy should not be president of the United States. He should be removed from office. Read Annie Jacobson's book or just watch my podcast. It's out now for blaze subscribers out wherever you get your podcast. Tomorrow on nuclear war back.

I think we've forgotten how real and how frightening that really is. All right, let me ask you a question. What are you truly an expert at? But most of us have at least one or two things we're really good at. Some of us are not really good at anything. But we can do a lot of different things. Some hobbies we're okay with and then everything else we kind of suck at. That's the way the world is. That's why we have different people and, you know, and experts that can just do things that we could never do. Well, when it comes to buying and selling a house, you might think that it's easy, but it's extraordinarily complex.

And you have to have somebody who's really at the top of their game, especially in the new digital world. You can have some real estate agent that can, you know, blow up balloons and hope people drive by on a Saturday or Sunday for an open house. Or you could have somebody who has already just tilled the ground and has buyers waiting for a house like yours. This is why we formed real estate agentsitrust.com to give you that kind of agent. Real estate agentsitrust.com dot. You just, you just alert us on where you are, what you're trying to do. You're buying, selling across the street or across the country. Realestate agents itrust.com dot and it's blazetv.com.

Stu
Glenn, the code Fauci lied will get you $30 off your subscription to Blaze TV.

Glenn Beck
Stu's in a mood today. So didn't drag the show down yet again. He's in a mood.

He's not in the same mood I'm in. In fact, his mood is the exact same opposite of my mood. And, well, America doesn't appreciate it. Still doesn't. It's Friday.

Stu
Very happy. I'm glad. I think their country's going in a good direction. I can't see any problem.

Glenn Beck
Right.

Stu
So I'm gonna.

Glenn Beck
It's Friday. We're supposed to do what every good American does on Friday, and that is screw off. Okay, there you go. And then Monday, we also have to screw off a little bit and not really screw off. Yeah. But recover from the weekend, so you don't really put in the full effort. All we need is Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, three shows a week that are just solid. The rest of them, you know.

Stu
And Wednesday is sort of hump day. You can't really be expected to do good work on a Wednesday. It's crazy.

Glenn Beck
And you're usually planning fun on Thursday. So really a Tuesday is a good, you're going to get a good show for at least once a week. You'll get a good show for almost. And today is not that day. But let me, let me tell you that we have the Montana attorney general on with us is Austin Knutson. I think it's now. I should have asked. I can't remember do you pronounce the k or not?

Austin, are you there?

Austin Knudsen
Knudsen. Yes, it is.

Glenn Beck
Knudsen. Okay. I thought it was. So, Austin, you're going to talk to us about Biden bucks. But I asked Stu, who's really up on things, but he's in a mood. Look out. And I asked him, what are Biden bucks? And he said that could apply to a myriad of programs they're doing. A. This one specifically goes to the executive order on getting people out to vote. Can you explain what Biden bucks are?

Austin Knudsen
Yeah, I can, Glenn, and thanks for having me on. And a pleasure to contribute to your screw off show.

Glenn Beck
Okay, good, good, good.

Right. So don't worry about the facts. You can kind of get a little loose with them today.

Austin Knudsen
Yeah, good. It's Friday. Yeah.

We picked the name Biden bucks because this is like Zuckerbucks.

What you have here is the Biden administration wanting to get involved in what sounds kind of innocuous. Right.

They want to get out the vote. We want to make it easier for folks to vote. So what this executive order back in 21 did is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris directed the administration and all their executive agencies to every time there was a federal touch on a citizen to provide them voter registration information and ways to get registered to vote and information about voting.

And no directive, really, if this was between just federal elections or state elections or local elections and some really egregious stuff here. But here's what this comes down to, guys, and you guys know this, that's not a constitutional power given to the federal government.

States regulate their own elections, period. That's been longstanding federal law. That's been longstanding constitutional jurisprudence. This is a job that your local election offices and more importantly, your state secretary of state's office handles.

This is a power grab. This is pure partisan politics, and it's. It's bad news.

Glenn Beck
So what are you doing in Montana to stop this? And what should we be doing?

Austin Knudsen
Well, I got with eight of my republican attorney general colleagues, and we've sued. It took us a little while to get all the information and to do the homework on this one, but this was egregious enough that we decided the only thing we could do is sue in federal court.

Oftentimes that's the only arrow in our quiver, Glenn.

But we've sued it. We've sued in federal court in Kansas. We've asked the district, the federal district judge to block this executive order, to enjoin it, and ultimately to throw it.

Glenn Beck
Out as so did you get a chance to actually read, did you get a chance to actually read the executive order? Because Congress has been asking for this executive order from almost the day that it was issued, which was the first week in office, and they won't ever share it with anybody. Did you see it?

Austin Knudsen
We've seen portions of it, but what we have seen is some of the federal agencies own implementation policies for this executive order.

Because you're right. I mean, this goes back all the way back to House resolution one.

The federal Congress has not ever done this. I mean, this is a liberal Democrat panacea. They have wanted this so bad for so long. But specifically since Donald Trump got elected, the idea here with Democrats in DC was, well, we'll just take over national elections. It's never been done. People might not know that, but that's a state function.

So some really disturbing stuff we've seen in the implementation, probably the scariest one, the Department of Justice, the federal Department of Justice is registering felons to vote.

Well, the problem with that, Glenn, is that's illegal in Montana.

We do not allow felons to vote in Montana. So we've already got a conflict here between this executive order and the federal level and our state law.

So we really didn't have a choice here.

Glenn Beck
So, Austin, tell me how this is going to work out. Because, I mean, because they've stonewalled for so long and we couldn't find any information on what they were doing. I mean, I've been on this since the first week of the Biden administration and. No, but nobody could get any information. Now here we are in August. We're what, twelve weeks away by the time you get into federal court, September, maybe.

What can be done?

Austin Knudsen
Well, we're hoping to get a rapid injunction here. That, that's the hope is that we got this in front of a federal judge and we can get a restraining order and any injunction quickly here before too much damage is done. That's what we're after here. So that's why we've moved as fast as we have, hopefully fast enough.

But that's what we're asking this federal judge for.

Glenn Beck
Well, Austin, I got to tell you, it is really hard to believe in our system of voting. It is really hard because it seems to me that everything that can be done to, I mean, if you were designing a program to, to convince people that your vote didn't matter, I think you'd pretty much do everything that they have done in the last eight years.

And, you know, we talked about corruption. We were. We were penalized by social media because we six months ago talked about, hey, there are back doors in these voting machines. And we were penalized and said it was false news, fake news, you know, misinformation, yada, yada. So they suppressed all of that. And then the group that always does these, you know, every year they do a, what do you call it, when they, when they get all the hackers into one place and they try to hack into the voting machines and they said it's easy and it's happening, and reported the same thing we reported. But now, conveniently, it's too late to do anything.

I'm very concerned about the vote.

Austin Knudsen
Yeah. The good news about it, Glenn, for me is people are paying attention. I mean, and people are really concerned about this. I can't go anywhere and do any kind of a talk, an event, a speech, a rally. It doesn't matter. This is what people are talking about. Just everywhere I go, people are paying attention. The word is out. There's a lot of concern out there with the american people over their vote, over the security of the election.

And I think that's what is bringing all this attention to it.

Now, we have to be diligent. I mean, we have to keep up the fight. We can't just roll over here. I can't just tell people, well, just trust us. It's all going to be fine.

That's my job. I mean, we have to make sure that Montana rights are not being violated here. So, I mean, that's what's led us to do this stuff.

And the great thing is, it's not just me. You've got a lot of other really great republican state attorneys general who are also fighting this fight.

Glenn Beck
On another unrelated topic, can you do anything to arrest Kevin Costner for not finishing Yellowstone?

Austin Knudsen
Just say, I'm being real.

I'm being real honest. I mean, Montana's got tired of that. We're a little tired of that. Show our legacy let the movie tax. Well, our legislature let the movie tax credit expire. That's why this last season is not even going to be filmed here.

So.

And I don't know, it sounds like. It sounds like Mister Costner had some of his own personal stuff going on.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, I know, I know, I know. But look into the arresting him thing. Just look into that. I'm just saying I want the.

Austin Knudsen
If I can compel here.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, okay. Okay. All right. Really? You were sick of that? Because I think that made. Well, I mean, you know, wait a minute, they went over state lines the train station was over state lines. So, yes, they might have been killing people in Montana, but they buried them someplace else.

But I think that just made the state look beautiful.

And unfortunately, if I were in Montana, I would be saying, yeah, looks a little too beautiful. Now we're going to get all these. That's going to turn into Jackson Hole.

Austin Knudsen
It's already happened to Bozeman. I don't recognize Bozeman. I went to college there. I live there when I was a kid. That town is. That town is completely, completely Jackson holed.

Glenn Beck
Geez, I hate that. All right, thank you so much, Austin. I appreciate it. That's the Montana attorney general, Austin Knudsen. I gotta tell you what?

Stu
He was funny.

Glenn Beck
He was just like, he's great. He's great. I love it.

The, you know, have you been, ever been to Jackson Hole?

Stu
No, I don't think I have.

Glenn Beck
It is really beautiful, but they've just destroyed it. It's this. It's like New York City now, and it's all these liberals. And so now they, you know, it's because it's such a big county. They really have sway in the vote for Wyoming.

And every time I come here, we moved to a place that. That literally has 400 people in it.

And the next biggest town over is. Is the home of the first nighttime rodeo ever in the country.

And the county fair is happening today, and there's pig wrestling last night, and I think they're playing cowboy poker tonight, which is, you get people to sit around a poker table in the middle of the arena, and then they release a bull, and the last person seated at the table wins.

But that's kind of fun we have. And you don't have that in Jackson Hole. You know what I mean? You don't have any crybabies going. Oh, he could get hurt by the bull. Yeah, well, he knew that when he got into the ring, so leave him alone.

You got to move into a farming community if you're going to move someplace, move into a farming community. Telling you, farmers, they know where it's at.

They got it down. And you know what? They're. It's so weird. I think that's where we went wrong as a nation. We got away from the agricultural backbone of this country. And when you're on a farm, you don't have to talk to your kids about the birds and the bees. They see it all the time.

Daddy, why is that cow on top of the other one? Well, look what happens to the cow on the bottom. You know, in just a few months.

Oh, you see everything and you understand how nature works and how everything is dependent really on God. You can be the greatest farmer in the world, but if it doesn't rain, you lose. And that, you know, there are things out of your control that, you know, that's not fair. Well, life isn't fair, is it?

You can be the best farm in the world and go bankrupt, and most, most farmers do, but you can be the best farmer. If it doesn't rain, it doesn't rain. And that, in turn, teaches you to be a good neighbor.

I just think we should go back.

Stu
There's a lot of that.

Glenn Beck
I like damn electricity.

Stu
I think where I'm landing on this, because you're right, the lessons learned, the foundations provided by that type of upbringing in life really does bring. You create character, right. It really creates the type of character that America was built on. But, I mean, like, outer Mongolia is still a farming community. Like, I don't want to go back to it.

Glenn Beck
I don't want to go to outer Mongolia. Right? Like, I, you know, I've got to be. Yes. I have to be. I don't have to be, but my wife has to be 30 minutes from a Costco. Okay?

Stu
Right.

Glenn Beck
That's when we're moving someplace. She's like, is it within 30 minutes of a Costco? If it is, great, by the way, kiss Costco's goodbye. If Kamala Harris gets her way on this price control thing, you won't be able to have Costco's. So you're going to vote Kamala Harris. You're going to love it. Now back in just a minute.

Stu
We have to get into the Costco thing because, I mean, certainly there's going to be empty shelves on almost every supermarket in every supermarket. But I'm curious as to why Costco in particular, is that right here?

Glenn Beck
Well, any of the big discount stores. Any of them. All right, let me tell you about the burn a launcher. You can never take your safety or the streets, you know, thinking that they're safe in America anymore, can't take it for granted. One of the main reasons to carry a firearm, you know, when it's appropriate, is because you just don't know what's going to happen.

But what about when it's not appropriate? What about the times where you might need some force but not deadly force, especially in today's world?

This is the best example. You're walking out of your business if you happen to work downtown and all of a sudden there's a protest and you're sitting there and you're trapped. Well, if you have a burn a launcher, you have tear gas. Uh, you know, you're driving through the streets and they surround your car. Burn a launcher, you have tear gas. Um, it is a non lethal alternative to safeguarding your home. And really, unfortunately, every minute of your life and your family's life. It's legal in all 50 states. If you're over 18, you can pack it in your luggage that's checked without a need to declare it as a firearm because it's not. Looks just like one, but it has powerful determinants. Deterrence like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60 foot range. And they hurt.

All right. It can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. It's Berna byrna.com.

If you're like me, your home is your castle. And it's pretty likely that you're most precious, valuable asset as well. We're talking about your retirement. We're talking about your financial legacy. Like, it's. It's just the way we do things in America, right? Like, we put our money into our homes, and that's kind of where it lives for a very long time. Unless some cyber thief gets a hold of it. Because your equity is vulnerable to a little crime called home title fraud. Home title theft, it's one of those things that is happening all across the country. And these homes and titles are stolen every single day. With home title theft, it's been one of the fastest growing crimes in America for a while now. But it's really one of the least well known because you just don't think about it, right? I mean, your home's title, it seems like the type of thing that should. You should be able to set it and forget it, right? But that's not the way it works with home title fraud. People get in, they hack your documents, they act as if your home has been sold to the thief, and then the thief can take out loans against your equity. Don't fall prey to these thieves. Go to hometitle lock.com dot. Be sure your title is safe today. Use the promo code blaze.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Welcome to the program, Glenn.

Stu
I hear you talking about, like, the charms of farm life and all the things that it does, and I agree with so much of what you're saying. But, like, then I think about the fact that a cow has to produce milk, and somehow that milk needs to be formulated into butter, and that's a lot of work. What I like is opening up the drawer in my refrigerator, and there's just butter right there. That's what I like.

So I get it. But also, I don't want to live that life.

Glenn Beck
Like, okay, for instance, I am very, very, very blessed and fortunate. I have a ranch and a farm, but I only get into the tractor when I want to. Hey, that looks fun. I'm gonna. Yeah, I'm gonna cut that down. I'm gonna cut that. We're gonna. Is that alfalfa? Yeah, I'm gonna. You cut it, right? Yeah, let me do it for a while. And then when I bored, you know what I'm like, okay, I've had enough of this. I just turn the tractor, somebody else gets in. That's the kind of farming I like.

Stu
It's like fantasy league farming. That's what you want.

Glenn Beck
It is.

All right, back in a minute.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Does America have a new Phyllis Schlafly?

Well, yes, according to the Atlantic. And I'd like to agree with them. I'll tell you about her in 60 seconds. Stand by. First, let's talk about your cell phone service for a minute.

You know, I know it's probably an uncomfortable subject for you. You're probably paying way too much.

But really, the price of everything, everything is way too much. And if you really dig into it just a little bit, you might notice some things that major mobile phone companies are doing with the money you're giving them every month, like helping Planned Parenthood, which is not only an abortion mill, but also now they are the leading distributor of hormones.

So you want to make sure that not only can we kill your kid, but kill the babies, but we can also make sure that women take all kinds of hormones, little girls, so they can never have babies. Oh, it's just a great system. Anyway, Verizon is one of the big contributors to Planned Parenthood. Get off Verizon. What are you doing? Switch to a better, less expensive company that's not going to gouge your eyes out. It's Patriot mobile. And right now, when you make the switch to Patriot mobile, you're going to get a whole month for free. Patriot Mobile, America's only christian conservative company. Their mission is to passionately defend our God given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always. And they do that every single day. It's Patriot mobile.com Beck or call 972. Patriot. 972. Patriot. Patriotmobile.com beck.

You know, stu, we were talking just a little while ago about, you know, some of these, some of these people online that have decided to, you know, really rough it up.

I'm really not that guy. You know, I love the mountains. I love, I live in a town with 400 people. I love the town. You know, this area is just so great and it's all farmers. I love that. But I'm not a farmer. You know what I mean? There are ranches here. I have one. I have a farm, but I'm not a farmer nor a rancher, you know, and it's, I guess, I think you and I are at the age where we're the last ones that, you know, we'll, we'll die of old age or this administration, we'll die of old age and, you know, whatever because we're lazy. But the, the rest of America, the younger generation, the smart ones are realizing, I think, the lazy times are over.

Stu
Well, first of all, I'm shocked you think either one of us is going to die of old age?

I'll take a bet on that one.

The opposite.

Glenn Beck
It could be a heart attack because we had a cheeseburger stuffed in our mouth. But we'll be old, I hope.

Stu
But yeah, I think there's an interesting strain of.

I think it's part of the conservative movement in a way. And I find it to be interesting. It goes. It's sort of like adjacent to the Joe Rogan thing. And it's adjacent to maybe the.

Glenn Beck
What is it?

Stu
Huberman Labs. And it's not exactly conservatism, but it is what?

Glenn Beck
Go ahead.

Stu
I was gonna say it's not exactly conservatism, but I think it's adjacent to it in that. Like, it's this embrace of hard work, but also, like, I wanna say pain, but difficulty.

Glenn Beck
Right.

Stu
It's an embrace of difficulty. It's understanding that the old saying that hard times make hard menta.

Glenn Beck
No, no. Good men.

Stu
Good men. Strong men, strong men, whatever it is.

That whole thing that I can never remember, especially on the fly, is like, there is something about that. Like, I have friends who get up every morning and do the ice cold water dip.

Glenn Beck
I tried it.

Stu
Incomprehensible to me to start a day that way.

They swear by it. It makes them a better person. Ice cold shower, whatever it is.

Glenn Beck
I know.

Stu
I can't even comprehend doing that to myself. And it's very.

Glenn Beck
People. I'm weak.

Stu
I get it.

Glenn Beck
I'm. There are people that get up every morning and they're like, you know, I'm going to go to a job and I'm going to work hard. And I'm like, have at it, dude. You should try my job. It's really, really sweet. It's really sweet. I've never broken a sweat. Never.

Anyway. Except with Katie Couric. But those were. That was sweat of anger. Anyway, let me tell you about. Let me tell you about something I just read in the Atlantic, because Allie Stuckey is kind of that person, you know, she's willing to do the hard things, like actually read the Bible, you know what I mean?

And there's a story in the Atlantic, conservative women have a new Phyllis Schlafly.

If I were, I mean, I would have this, I don't know, engraved in a silver plate that I could hang from the wall if I got that kind of compliment. I don't know if they mean it as a compliment, but that is a huge compliment.

32 year old texan hosts relatable with Ally Beth Stuckey. A podcast in which she discusses current events and political developments from her conservative christian perspective. Stuckey is neither a celebrity provocateur in the style of her fellow podcast host Candace Owenshe, nor the soft spoken trad homemaker who thrives in the Instagram ecosystem of cottagecore and sourdough bread. Now see, I am for those people because you get sourdough bread at the end of it.

Stuckey is a different kind of leader in the new counterculture, one who criticizes the prevailing societal moors in a way she hopes modern american women will find, well, relatable.

The vibe of her show is more millennial mom than christian soldier. Stuckey usually sits perched on a soft white couch while she talks her blonde hair in a low ponytail, wearing a pastel colored sweatshirt and sipping from a pink Stanley cup. But those plush surroundings issue from those plush surroundings, she issues a stream of stern dogma in between monologues about the return of low rise genes. Stuckey will condemn hormonal birth control even within marriage and in vitro fertilization. She has helped push the idea of banning surrogate parenthood from conservative movement fringes to the forefront of republican politics. Her views align closely with those of Donald Trump's running mate, JD Vance, and fits comfortably in the same ideological milieu as the Heritage Foundation Presidential Blueprint Project 2025, which recommends, among other things, tighter federal restrictions on abortion and the promotion of biblical marriage between a man and a woman.

Unlike many of the commentators, primarily focused on owning the libs. Listen to this. This is from the Atlantic.

Stuckey has an integrity and sincerity.

Amy Binder, a socialist sorry. Well, she probably is this, too. But a society sociology professor at Johns Hopkins University told me. When I asked about Stuckey's appeal, she said, quote, there's a sophistication with Ali shot through with knowledge about the Bible and linking it up with choices the women are making today. Owens, who has had Stucky on her podcast, told me that Stuckey is the person you hope your daughter will grow up to be because of how well she embodies the christian values she espouses. That's tremendous, tremendous.

They talk about how her, how she got to this place.

She noticed during the presidential primary season in 2015 something that surprised her. Many women her age didn't seem to know or care about the race. Stuckey began visiting college sororities and speaking to young women about politics and theology. She launched a blog called the conservative Millennial, and by 2017 she had quit her publicity job and was recording commentary for Glenn Beck's network, the Blaze, Fox News would sometimes call her for comment. Stuckey moved online network to conservative review tv and started the first iteration of relatable. After the Blaze and CRT TV merge, Sucky's podcast went on YouTube where she released one new episode of Relatable each week. She now releases four and she does it on the Blaze. And it is a great show. It is really a great show. Congratulations, Ali. Best ducky. I hate to say I told you so, but I hope I told you so.

She is. She is a. You know, it's. It's so heartening to me, who has been doing this for so long and.

And really realizing about 2010, it's not going to be my generation. We're not going to save it. It's not going to be my generation. It's going to be the next generation.

And to hope and pray that these people found good food to eat, to really strengthen themselves in knowledge and everything else.

To see them coming up is just. It's one of the greatest joys of my life. If they're. If, you know, if I could ever mentor really good potential talent like I haven't done with.

With Ally. She's a talent on her own, but that's the greatest joy of my life, to see people come up through the ranks that are better than me and can really well be relatable and know how to talk about things. And part of the thing about her knowing how to talk about things is she's just real.

And so few people in this business are actually real. They're not like that. You know, I. One of the things I saw, you know. Have you seen ballerina farms on Instagram, Stu?

Stu
No, I've not.

Glenn Beck
So you got to check this out. It's crazy. Ballerina Farms is this woman. She lives in Utah. She has, like, I don't know, 47 kids, and they all churn butter happily, apparently.

She's absolutely, stunningly beautiful. Her house is beautiful.

You know, her husband is. You know, I don't.

He's a saint. And also, you know, the hardest working man in the world. You know, they're living a life that I would never. I could never live. It's just too hard.

But she actually lives it. And, you know, I've tried to get her on the show many times. She's a fan of the show and I'm a fan of hers and. And tried to get her on several times. She's like. Like, we're churning butter all the time. We're churning butter. We can't. We got to go. I don't know, shear the goats and milk the chickens and do all of those things.

They live it.

Stu
You're sure you're not a farmer? Milk the chickens, guy. You see, it seems so, so authentic from you.

Glenn Beck
I got to tell you, I have been. They have breasts, don't they? I've been trying to milk those chicken breasts forever, and I am going to get milk out of them of these times.

So anyway, you know, I just. Because that's just too hard. Oh, my gosh. It's too hard to live that way. You know, I'm having a hard time just living by my own set of principles. Just be a man of integrity and honor and let your word be the word. Let you. You know, when I think of people ask me all the time, what's my favorite word? I say it's the word, but. And, you know, actually, living a life of integrity is hard.

Is hard. Now you want to throw work on top of it, too.

And a job and kids.

Homeschool the kids.

I'm milking the chickens. When am I going to have time for that?

I think that's why you have to have big families, because at some point you do, you know, you do really well with one, and then, you know, you have to teach us to your siblings because I'm tired and I think that's what it's for, you know, it's really. That's why you're supposed to have kids. Yes. Yes.

That end getting up on ladders and things, you know, or getting your, you know, give me a. Hey, hey, get up. Go get me a soda, will ya? That's, you know, that's way. And when you're there, get some doritos, too. If there's none there.

Keys of the car are on the, on the counter there. Just go to the store. I know you're eight. I trust you. Go to the store.

That's the way I grew up.

Stu
Is it? Is that the way you grew up? Because it's done wonders for you as you go to milk the chickens. Yeah.

Glenn Beck
You should listen to me. I'm a recovering alcoholic.

I've had two wives. I know women, okay? You've only had one. I've had two.

Who are you gonna listen to?

Stu
Did you think this is a. Because I think it's a.

It seems to be a long term movement. It's. That doesn't seem to be a fad to me. It's like people really do long for this return to this world.

Glenn Beck
Here's what I think everyone is feeling.

Everyone is feeling. This doesn't work. And all of this commercially processed, everything is not good for you. It's not good for the soul. Everything that's happening online, not good for the soul. Everything that's happening in our society, not good for the soul, not good for the body. All the food that we eat, not good for us. And the way we live our life, where it's like, get me another bucket of chicken.

Make sure you deliver it on time. I need it in ten minutes.

You know, it's just not good. Society's not gonna work that way for long. I do. And so I think people want a return to really being authentic. And here's the problem with that, Stu. Like, I remember when it was, you know, we were poor and I had a hole in my jeans and my mom would patch it, and everybody made fun of us having patched jeans because you just go out and get new ones. Now we're buying holy jeans. And we're doing it because we want to feel like, you know, we were out there in the grass. You know, I was out there. I've been so active. I've been doing stuff. I just wore through these things. Come on, you want something authentic, I gotta show you. I gotta show you something.

It's shameful. It's shameful, but I can show it to you here in a second. Give me 60 seconds. I'll be right back. Let me tell you about relief factor.

If you're in pain, relief factor is a way to get rid of that pain for, you know, 70% of the people who try. Go on to order more. I'm one of them. I really didn't think this stuff would work. I'm like, yeah, it's all natural ingredients. You know, it's got rhino horn in it or whatever.

By the way, it doesn't have rhino horn in it.

If it did, it would probably be, you know, even bigger. But anyway, a relief factor is 100% drug free daily supplement that helps your body fight pain naturally. Developed by doctors, it uses a unique formula of natural ingredients that addresses the inflammation in your body, which is where all the pain starts. Go to relief factor.com or call 800 for relief 800 the number four relief, and save on your first order. 800 the number four relief. Relief factor.com. 10 seconds. Station ID.

Stu
You know, I will say, as Glenn goes to get this thing he wants to show us, I get that it is. These are. These are great principles and stuff. But, like, you keep saying things like, ah, these things. The way we're eating the thing, the life we're living is just bad. It's obviously bad. Well, we have increased life expectancy from 31 to 78.

Glenn Beck
No, no, no. I don't know. I mean, I don't know.

Stu
Is it bad? It seems pretty good in a lot of ways, though. The principles going away, I think, are the problem.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. So.

But this is how. I mean, this. This is so shameful. Don't tell anybody. Don't tell anybody I said this, okay?

Stu
Okay.

Glenn Beck
Because I know this is shameful. All right, so I have a friend who is.

Is actually a hard working guy, and he lives like a mountain man. His name is Bart, and his wife is Peggy. And I love these two people, and they actually live the life, you know, they invited me to go camping with them in the winter, and I'm like, what? They're like, yeah, we go up to the mountains, and we dig. They're like, you know, six foot holes, and I. Like a grave. Yeah, we dig them in the snow, and then we just lay there in the snow, you know, you can watch it all in your nighthouse and warm. And I'm like, none of that sounds fun. Okay.

So he comes over, and this is one of his older hats. He has so many of these hats, and I just love all of them. Now, this one's really beat, okay? But look at this. Look at this hat that he has. Now, it's got bear claws on the front, okay? And it's clearly been worn for a very, very long time. And so he comes over and. And he's wearing a hat little like this, but less beat up. And I said, man, Bart, how do you get.

How did you get your hat to look like that? That looks really great.

And he's like, like, what? And I'm like, well, all this is that. What is that? He's like, that was my sweat from hard work. I wear it when I'm working. And I'm like, okay, I'm not willing to do that.

Can I buy your hats when they get like that?

So he brought this one over for me, and he's like, I'm not going to sell it to you. He said, but I was going to throw it away. So you want a hat? Here it is. And I looked at that, and I thought somebody like Ralph Lauren would sell this in a store in New York for, like, $1,000.

I talked to him, and I'm like, hey, you want to get in on a New York scam? We could sell these hats to New Yorkers for, like, a $1,000. All you have to do is actually work in them. You're already doing that. We could make a fortune.

Stu
That would actually work, by the way.

Glenn Beck
It would.

Stu
I think that would actually work. Sadly, I know that is our society today.

Glenn Beck
It really is. We had a. We had a higher up of. From Ralph Lauren, a friend of ours at the house this summer. And I said that to her, you know, kind of joking. And then Bart came over and she's like, listen, you want to do that? I'm like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. You're not cutting in on my thing. No, no, no. What are you doing? No, no. If somebody's going to run this scam, it's going to be me, you know, and bruh. And. And he said, bart, if this isn't perfect, he said, she said, I worked for Ralph Lauren. And he said, oh, oh.

And he looks at me, he said, who's Ralph Lauren?

And I said, you know, the polo pony guy with the, you know, the, you know, the shirts? And he's like, no.

And Peggy, his wife, just laughed and shook her head. And she's like, he really doesn't know, Glenn. And, you know, we barely know, like, I love you guys. I love you.

Stu
That's great.

Glenn Beck
Love you. Just authentic.

Stu
I like hearing about the authenticity of farming from a guy who has Ralph Lauren executives over to his home. That is. It's. So you want to talk about authenticity, not an executive.

Glenn Beck
You said a higher up.

Well, yeah. Well, okay. You know, she's a friend.

Stu
The basis of farming comes from people like you, Glenn.

Glenn Beck
You're just a hardcore man of the soil. No, I'm just exploiting their authenticity.

Stu
Doing perfect. Yeah.

Glenn Beck
I mean, don't try to paint this into something tawdry and humiliating for me. Don't you try to do it.

All right, back in a minute.

Glenn Beck.

I probably shouldn't have said that whole story.

I know it makes me look bad, but come on. I'm not. I don't. I don't work hard. Listen, let me tell you about leave home gutters.

Yeah. I'm not the one getting up on a ladder. I'm not. I'm not. I'm too lazy.

Honestly. Too many people work, you know, at the company, and every time I try to get. Cause I don't mind getting on the ladder and changing lights and everything else in the studio. And they're all like, glenn, for God's sake, get off the ladder. You fall, and we're all fired. And I'm like, well, I'm not gonna fall, but anyway. But at home, when my wife wants me to get on a ladder. It's different somehow. And I'm like, but that's why we had a boy, okay? That's why we had a kid. Now, if you don't have any kids or your kids are just too lazy to do it, too, let me recommend leaf filter from leaf home gutters. It's a filter for your gutters that helps protect your home from all the bad stuff, the flooding and the roof damage and the rotting siding. Protect your home and never clean out your gutters again.

Comrades, welcome to the Glenn Beckley program.

We're going to get some really good soviet policy. If Harris wins, we might get a good national anthem out of it because Soviets had the best national anthem, but, you know, they had to murder people to get it, I guess.

Gold today is up $50.

It's now over 2500. Hit 2500 for the first time in history.

And it happened in the 8 hours after she said, you know, price controls good. You want to know, stu, answer the question. What is gold a hedge against?

Stu
Well, you, I would say inflation, but also insanity.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, I always say insanity, but it is a known, forever a known hedge against inflation.

It goes up that much and hits 2500 for the first time in history.

Right after she says that, that you know how good she's going to be for inflation. Okay. What do rich people know that you don't know? I don't know. Well, they know about gold. Have I mentioned Lear capital? This is not a commercial, but you should call Lear capital today. You should. Okay. Because it's only going to get worse. The more it looks like she could win, the more expensive gold is going to get. Mike Lee is with us, senator from the great state of Utah. Hello, senator. How are you, sir?

Doing great. And you know what a great way to start the segment with the soviet national anthem. Seems very.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, it's really great. We got to get used to that.

What do you think of the price controls? I saw your thread last night. It's fantastic. Mike, tell me about price controls.

Mike Lee
Thank you. Yeah, I was talking about that on my base, likely account on x. But price controls are really bad. They're really good. If what you want to create is scarcity. If what you want to create are black markets. If what you want to create is a federal government that's in charge of distributing assets, distributing goods, who gets what?

But they're absolutely terrible for every other reason, including and especially alleviating the pressure put on the poor and middle class by a federal government that spends too much and regulates oppressively. So, you know, other than that, it's great.

Glenn Beck
You know, what is amazing to me is how willing they are to throw grocery stores under the bus. The average grocery store profit was 3%.

In 2020, 3% was the profit. Their profit now is down to 1.8. So for every dollar that goes through that store, they only take almost two cent from that dollar. That is, the average profit is about 8%.

So anything over 8%, you're really doing well on profit. Theirs is 1.8. And she's accusing them of gouging. Farmers are going out of business, and she's accusing them of price gouging. It's obscene what she's saying.

Speaker two.

Mike Lee
No, it literally is. And in fact, almost anytime you hear a politician say the word gouging or price, they're almost always talking about something that involves getting the government involved in what is fundamentally a market decision. It must always be a free market decision, not because you are callous to the needs of the poor and those hardworking people who are living paycheck to paycheck, but because you are in tune with those needs. Because I'll tell you this, Glenn, the only thing that will put pressure on prices is itself competition.

And when you start talking about price gouging, that leads to price control. We start talking about price controls that guarantees prices will never come down. It guarantees, more critically, that you will be perpetuating whatever it is that's causing this price pressure.

Glenn Beck
Yes.

Mike Lee
With hard working people.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, you'll, you'll have scarcity like nobody's business. I mean, that's why the Soviet Union, you know, didn't have anything in the shelves of their stores. You go to the grocery store, there was nothing there. You'd have to stand in line for toilet paper or milk.

And, you know, you could stand in line for 3 hours, and then they could say, all the milk is gone, and you would go home with nothing.

It is. It's. It's really, really bad. And she is.

I said this on Wednesday before she announced this, and it's the only way I could describe her. I said she is the Hugo Chavez of the Maduro of, of America. If this if she gets in, we will become Venezuela.

Austin Knudsen
Yeah.

Mike Lee
And look, Venezuela was a prosperous country a few decades before they got involved in this whole hog socialism thing. And I'm sure she'll tell us. I'm sure the Soviets told their people with the bread lines. Oh, the waiting in breadlines, that's purifying.

That's good for the soul.

Americans know better. We're not going to do this. We can't make this choice. And if we do, it'll be one of the worst choices we've ever made.

Glenn Beck
So, Mike, you and I talked about getting out of NATO. I mean, we could have just called each other, but we did it over x this week, because when we saw the european countries start to say, hey, x, Elon Musk, you can't talk to that presidential candidate when he offered it to Kamala Harris and she turned it down.

It's interesting to me that they would have the balls to do that to America, which shows me that we may not have been involved, but we didn't mind them doing that.

Uh, and there's. So there's a couple of questions here. One is, you know, were we involved in encouraging that at all? And the second thing is, is this is the problem with all of this globalist stuff. They now can pass laws in Europe that will affect us, and we're all going down the same road. And it's a road to hell.

Mike Lee
No, it certainly is. And look, as I said on x the other day, that was fun, by the way, having that communication.

Glenn Beck
It was.

Mike Lee
Look, as I pointed out the other day, I find it unfathomable that we didn't have somebody on the inside of the us government, of the Biden administration. That is to say, that didn't either encourage or at least tell them that it was okay to say that. And let's remember what it is that we're talking about.

The EU's attempt here was essentially to extort Elon Musk, to tell him, we're going to regulate the heck out of you. We're going to find you, we're going to do whatever punishing the EU can do.

If it got to air this interview with Donald Trump, because that could expose european citizens to misinformation.

Now, I think we have to view that, Glenn, as something that fundamentally changed our relationship with these longstanding European Union allies. 22 of the 27 countries that belong to the EU also belong to NATO. And they've been writing on our big fat checks and our big fat security assistance for decades, which we've disproportionately provided them. That puts us on the lump, puts us blood and treasurer on the line if they get attacked.

So I think in moments like these, we need to start to reassess our relationship with them as far as trade, as far as our military alliance and otherwise, because this is messed up.

They weren't really worried about what this would do to european citizens. They were trying to meddle, interfere with, and influence the outcome of the us presidential election. And that's bad. That's not something allies do to us.

Glenn Beck
But it's not, you know, it's not coming just from the EU. Mike, all of this stuff. Remember the World Economic Forum, their number one thing they said they had to address this election year in the world. There are more people going to a ballot box than any other time in human history this year. And the politicians were starting to sweat because the WEF and all of their things have been exposed, the effects are starting to be felt. And so the number one thing over global warming or anything was misinformation. And Klaus Schwab said, we have systems for this and everybody has to play their part. And politicians don't get weak, need trust the system. And that's what's happening. They're. They're all in on this with the WEF. This is not just a few people's idea. This is the governments around the world going rogue.

Do you agree with that?

Mike Lee
Yes, I do.

Because you remember that the, the European Union has these 27 countries that belong to it, 22 of which are NATO member states. Now, some people are now trying to say, oh, this was just one road commissioner theory. Breton, Fran, representative on the EC. No, nonsense. They were all just fine with that. They were all on board with it completely. Just as I suspect people in the Biden administration probably gave them the okay if they didn't encourage it themselves.

This is what they do. This is the kind of crap that they pull. Why? Well, because they're all on board with all of the WTF stuff we see coming out of the WEF, and it's got to stop.

Glenn Beck
Can I ask you in the same subject, this monkeypox thing, you know, we got bird flu and monkeypox right before an election. And the WHO issued a global emergency order. Are we going to go through Covid stuff again?

Mike Lee
Over my dead body.

And look, Americans are going to put up with this crap. I don't know if you saw the reaction when the WHO, the World Health Organization put up that advisory the other day. There was just a widespread outcry. No, we're not falling for that. You can't pull that trick twice nonsense.

This has so many other differentiators, so many other reasons why this is not the same as Covid. We shouldn't have fallen for that the same way we did. We're sure as heck not going to fall from this one.

Glenn Beck
I have to tell you, you know, we've grown up in an atmosphere you and I both have. I'm a little older than you, in fact, probably a lot older than you. And I'm looking at everything that's, that's going on and, and I've heard every election my whole life. This is the most important election in your, in our history. It's so important. This is kind of it, isn't it? This is like last call, guys. Are you going to go with socialism? And I kind of like the fact that I wish they would just be honest about it a little more. But their records show, and, you know, Tim Walls has said, you know, one man socialist is another one, is another man's neighborliness.

They shown who they are. And if America will look, we have an honest choice here between socialism and capitalism and, you know, the american way of life and this new world order kind of way of life.

This is kind of it, isn't it?

Mike Lee
This is it. And that's one of many reasons why it's so important that we make sure that only american citizens are voting in us federal elections. And we've got legislation that I've introduced in the Senate that Chip Roy is pushing in the House. It's called the save act. You can find out about it at a website that we've set up specifically for that purpose. Has the. Saveact.com dot.

Glenn Beck
So.

Mike Lee
Hasthesaveact.com dot? This is, this is a bill that we're talking about that would require in order to register to vote in a federal election, you'd have to prove that you're a us citizen, something we've all long assumed is the case anyway.

But the Supreme Court a few years ago interpreted a federal law, stupidly in my view, but they interpreted a federal law saying that they can't require you to prove that at the time of voter registration if you're registering through the motor voter law, the Save act would stop that and impose criminal penalties for giving a ballot to somebody who's not.

Glenn Beck
Do we have time to do this, Mike? And is there a chance that it'll be passed inside?

Mike Lee
There is, I think, one path that we could do it. We attach it to a spending bill. Congress is going to have to confront a spending bill between now and the end of September.

When we reconvene in September, I hope we can attach the Save act to the spending bill and say this is part of funding government. This is one of the conditions. We have to make sure that only us citizens can vote.

Glenn Beck
The only way that, only way that will happen is if people really rise up and just social media spread it, the phones to Congress and it becomes a big thing.

And it should with the conservatives, I think, you know, and I, and I really believe the average Democrat, you know, I talked to a guy who was, you know, big in the Democratic Party or a big donor in the Democratic Party a few years ago, and he said, you know, you guys and your no id for voters. And I said, excuse me? And he said, well, you guys have been pushing that forever. And I'm like, no, you guys have been pushing that. We're the ones for idea id. And he was an educated guy. He just wasn't, you know, politics all the time. He was an educated guy, a smart guy, and he was like, really? That's us. And I'm like, yes, dude. Yes.

Yes. Most people are for it. Mike, thank you so much. God bless you.

Mike Lee
Thank you. Good to be with you.

Glenn Beck
But you could talk to him. All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor, this sapphire. It's good ranchers.

You know, the meat you're buying at the store, where does it come from? You know, it'll have the little flag sticker product of us, but that's only if, if they can ship the beef over as live cattle or just sides of beef, as long as it's cut and trimmed here, then it's a product of the US.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I just want to play cut four here for you. I don't know how they're going to separate themselves from this economy, but here's Kamala bragging about passing the Inflation Reduction act. Listen, two years ago as vice president, I was proud to cast the tie breaking vote that sent the bill.

Stu
That.

Glenn Beck
Gave Medicare the power to negotiate and let it get to the president's desk. And I was proud when our president, Joe Biden, signed that bill into law.

So what that bill was, was the inflation Reduction act, which they have admitted now, that was all about global warming. That was the Green New Deal under a new name. It is one of the main reasons we have such a problem with inflation.

One of the main reasons is the inflation Reduction act. And she cast the deciding vote in Congress, in the Senate, as vice president, she's responsible for this economy, the Glenn Beck program.

We have Doctor Epstein in, don't we? Is he in studio or is he on the phone?

Stu
I believe it's on the phone, I think. Yeah.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

He's got, he's got a lot to say about what is actually being done.

He thinks this Google Ad thing is no big deal. He said he thinks it's a distraction by Google to distract you from what they're really doing. And he's the guy that would know. We're going to talk to him about that coming up in just a minute. Standby.

Stu
For go to survive.

Glenn Beck
It's a new day. I turn the light.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Well, hello, America. We're so glad that you're here. Thank you so much for tuning in. So the one of the big stories this week, I guess, has been that the Harris administration has been changing headlines in ads to make them look like these networks are saying even better things than they already are. I mean, it doesn't make any sense.

And the defense is that this happens all the time. Yeah, it does. But I think everybody's missing the point. It's, those are the Google rules, and that's fine. But the people who are saying to us we are hunting down all mis dish and malinformation should not be the ones that are mangling headlines to lead you to believe something is that it isn't.

Isn't that the real point?

We have an expert on what Google's really doing in 60 seconds. Stand by.

Let me tell you about Simplisafe. Simplisafe if you want to keep your home and your and family safe, whether it's from a break in, a fire, flooding, medical emergency, or, you know, you have people like Stu that insist on coming over, and you need a way to, you know, can simply safe.

Name?

All right.

We don't have our guest on yet.

Okay.

All right, well, we're just gonna sit here and wait.

Stu
That's not. No, that's not. That's not how the.

Glenn Beck
It's Friday, man. It's Friday. Everybody's screwing off. Everybody. I mean, I have worked almost 2 hours now, okay, with only a break about every ten minutes. For five minutes. Every ten minutes, I take a five minute break. And you try to keep up with that, okay?

Just tired.

Stu
It's a really, the pace you put yourself on and the arduous life you live is something that will be studied in future.

Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah, really? You're mocking it. You try it. You try. Okay, well, not you in particular. I mean, other people that don't know how easy this job is, they should try.

Stu
It is important to note that life has become much easier for. Since the. The farming, since everyone had to farm and get their own food, it has become much easier. That does create some problems. But it does.

Glenn Beck
It does, because then we start going. You know what?

This. They're not delivering my food fast enough.

I got it in ten minutes. I called, I just got on a nap and I ordered food, you know, I'm sick of it. Okay, Doctor Epstein is on, so we can, we can talk to him now. Doctor, how are you, sir?

How are you?

Robert, are you on?

It's Glenn.

Robert Epstein
Pretty stressed out. How are you?

Glenn Beck
You're stressed out. I'm sorry to hear that. It's Friday.

Yeah.

So we just wanted to talk to you. This stuff with Google that's been in the news this week is, I think is a giant nothing burger because it is. That is, that happens all the time.

However, my problem is with the administration, not necessarily with Google. The administration is saying that we are avoiding, you know, we're the guardians against any kind of misinformation. And yet they're making, they're, they're putting misinformation out into the system. But that's not illegal yet.

And Google is fine. You are the guy who has been on the trail of what Google is actually doing so we don't distracted by stories like this. What is Google actually doing to change the election right now?

Robert Epstein
Well, the key word here is distraction. So I'm glad you mentioned that because I think Google itself is actually spreading these nothing burgers is actually distracting us because they don't want us looking at what they're really doing.

So what they're really.

Glenn Beck
Wait, wait. So wait, hold on just a second. You think this is actually coming from Google and they're the ones spreading it?

Robert Epstein
Absolutely. Of course. They determine, remember, they determine what goes viral and what doesn't. They have total control over that. So if people are really talking about stuff, you know, it's because they're spreading that information.

They're like magicians. They're saying, look over here, look over, look over here because they don't want you looking at them.

Now what are they?

Glenn Beck
Go ahead.

Robert Epstein
We are looking at them. So we have built the world's first, and this is, by the way, with the help of your audience several years ago, we have now built the world's first nationwide digital monitoring system.

So if people go to America's Vanessa americasdigitalshield.com, americasdigitalshield.com, they can actually see a public dashboard where you'll see the data that we are collecting 24 hours a day right now from a politically balanced group of more than 15,000 registered voters in all 50 states.

And we're actually looking at the real content that Google and other companies are sending to registered voters and to children, by the way.

So we're seeing what they're really doing, what they're really sending. We're seeing their manipulations, we're seeing the political bias and their content, and it is staggering. So just to tell you a quick example here, right this minute, Google is sending registered to vote reminders to Democrats at two and a half times the rate they're sending them to Republicans.

Now, that's called targeted messaging. That's right. On their homepage, which is seen more than 500 million times a day in the US. So that targeted messaging costs them nothing.

And those messages are going to turn into partisan mail in your ballot reminders, and then they're going to turn into partisan go vote reminders. And we're capturing all of that now.

So we're actually the evidence.

Glenn Beck
I am looking at your website and this is amazing. I didn't, I wasn't aware of the website.

Looking at the dashboard, you have elections likely flipped by Google.

And these are actual election results. You say in 2020, Joe Biden was the winner.

Then in 2022, Arizona governor Katie Hobbs was flipped with 53.50.3%.

Rafael Warnock, he was flipped. Tony Evers, that was flipped.

The two Senate majority flipped. Then you go down to with the results. Without Google's interference, the winner in 2020 would have been Donald Trump. The governor of Arizona would be Kerry Lake. Herschel Walker would be in, Tim Michaels would be in, in Wisconsin. US Senate would be a two to eight seat majority for the Republicans if it wasn't for Google and the House, a 27 to 59 seat majority.

That's incredible.

Robert Epstein
Well, that's not. It is incredible. And it's actually the truth because we have gotten so good now at figuring out what they're doing, which, again, they don't want. They don't want anyone looking at them. But we're not only figuring out what they're doing, we're actually now capturing the real data. And we're working with federal and state officials around the country, with ags, with public interest groups, election integrity groups, to figure out how we can use this massive database that we're collecting to put more and more pressure on them to stop, to get out of our elections and get away from our kids.

Glenn Beck
This is amazing to see.

I see that monitoring Facebook, tick tock, Twitter, et cetera, et cetera. What are you expecting to find in YouTube? Yahoo. What are you expecting to find on these?

Robert Epstein
Well, YouTube, we know for sure because we've gotten really good at monitoring YouTube. What YouTube is doing is, you know, those recommendations that they make, and especially that one copy up next video that plays automatically.

Okay.

Glenn Beck
Yes.

Robert Epstein
Two things you need to know. Number one, according to, literally Google officials and whistleblowers, both, 70% of the time that people are watching videos on YouTube around the world, those videos were recommended by Google's up next algorithm.

70% of the videos, 70% of the time, people are watching videos. They're watching recommended videos. So in other words, those recommendations have tremendous power over people. They determine what people watch. The up next video plays automatically.

If you pick no video at all, it just plays automatically.

So that's power. That's incredible power. And the second thing you need to know is that what we're doing is looking at the political bias in the videos. We look at the news sources that they come from, and we're finding extreme political bias, always in one direction, that is always in the liberal direction on YouTube. And that has no effect, by the way, on people who have strong opinions, but it has a big effect on the undecided voter. That's the key here.

Glenn Beck
I have to tell you, Robert, that I'm so thrilled for the success of this and how you've built this out. I know you still take donations. So just go to americasdigitalshield.com and look at the information that he has.

And I'm glad to hear that some people are starting to take this seriously. I was talking to somebody the other day about Netflix and about AI, and the guys at Netflix said that their, their AI, their understanding of their viewers is so strong that they've turned it down because they said that people would find it uncomfortable, because it would be right all the time.

And with AI, what can be done to individuals? Because you've talked about this with the, with the way that there's no tracking of it, there's no way to track. You can turn an individual one way or the other quite easily, right?

Robert Epstein
Oh, yes. And as a matter of fact, in fact, that we just submitted a new paper for publication on what we call DPE, digital personalization effects, which is literally, literally, people can look at the manuscript@digitalpersonalizationeffect.com. and in this study, we're looking at what happens when they personalize content.

And, you know, if they send biased content to someone who's undecided, that has a big effect. That produces a big shift in people's thinking and opinions and votes. But if they personalize the content based on everything they know about you, that effect will triple. It will triple, and they have all that information about us. They're surveilling us and our kids 24 hours a day, and they're personalizing the content that they send, which maximizes the impact of these manipulations.

Glenn Beck
So, Robert, I have to take a quick break, but I'd like you to answer this question. When we come back, where is the point of no return?

Where is the point to where we can't, we don't know if we actually have free will and what's been manipulated and how close are we to the line to. It's not coming back. Back with more in just a second. By the way, the website, again, is America's digital sheet of check it out. Let me tell you about the international fellowship of Christians and Jews, which I'm pleased to be a part of. I will do everything I can as a christian to stand with the jewish people. It doesn't mean I agree with everything that they are. I don't know how to even describe that politically. I disagree a lot with Israel, but I know the score here, and I also know history.

After the assassination of Hezbollah, senior military commander recently in the assassination of the head of Hamas, the israeli defense force is still on high alert in preparation for an attack.

If that happens, Jews all across Israel could be forced to spend days or even weeks in bomb shelters. The international fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the forefront now in Israel since the beginning of the war, addressing the needs of the most vulnerable. And that's why I'm partnering with them today. And you can, too. Your life saving donations will help provide emergency food as well as critical security, things like flak jackets, fire, quite firefighting equipment, armored vehicles, bomb shelters. You know, there, I'll tell you a story one time that in right after the attack started, one of the guys that saved a lot of people actually was driving an armored vehicle that was given to this community by the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. And he saved a lot of people because people like you helped. Right now, they're looking for 500 of my listeners to join the fellowship and me by donating $150 to meet these urgent security needs. And thanks to a generous IFC supporter, IFCJ supporter, your gift is going to be matched. That will double the impact. So please go to support ifcj.org right now. Support ifcj.org or call 8848 ifcj. That's 888488 if CJ. 10 seconds. Station Id so we're talking to Robert Epstein. He is the senior researcher and psychologist that has been looking at social media and in particular Google. He is a guy who's voted for Hillary Clinton. He's not a conservative. He doesn't have an ax to grind. And his thing is just, he's kind of like the, the anti Edward Bernays.

And if you know who that is, you'll understand.

If you don't, you should look it up. But Robert is with us again. Hello, Robert.

By the way, you probably know who Edward Bernays is. I don't mean that as a, I mean that as a compliment. That you are the anti Bernays.

Tell me I'm where we get to a point of no return. Or do we?

Robert Epstein
Let me put this in context for you very quickly here. Everyone has heard of that old farewell speech of Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1961 where he warned about the rise of a military industrial complex. But I went back and reread that speech and he also warned in the same speech about the rise of a technological elite that could someday control public policy without us knowing. And he warned that we had to be vigilant.

And I can tell you this now, to answer your question, the technological elite are now in control.

They've probably been in control since roughly 2012, increasing, consolidating their power over the years, but they're now, they control so many votes.

In this year's presidential election. Google alone can shift between 6.4 million and 25.5 million votes.

Glenn Beck
Oh my gosh.

Robert Epstein
Yeah, yeah. And of course, and except for this monitoring system that we have set up, which is now the first and only such nationwide system in the world, except for that system, no one would have any idea.

Glenn Beck
I know about what they're doing.

I know. And I have to tell you, it's happening all over the world.

And Google people should know. Silicon Valley was financed by the us government. And you know, there's a ton of DARPA and CIA money in Google and everything else. This is the deep state as well. It's terrifying. Really, really terrifying.

Robert, as always. Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.

Robert Epstein
I was gonna say this is bigger than the deep state because they're controlling more than 5 billion people around the world. They're bigger than any government has ever.

Glenn Beck
Been at this point. Have they switched power seats? Who has the power? Does the federal government?

Who's afraid of the other more?

Robert Epstein
Well, the federal government is still working very, very closely with Google. And just as you, I'm sure you're aware, just a few weeks ago the supreme Court issued a crazy ruling, basically saying, okay, federal government, you can keep working with these companies.

Glenn Beck
I know it's crazy. It is crazy. Thank you so much, Doctor Robert. Robert Epstein again, you need to go to americasdigitalshield.com. learn more. And if you can donate and help Glenn Beck every day, you're assigned the list. You know what I'm talking about, right?

I was just upstairs so I know my wife's not listening so I can say it. You know, the one that your wife gives you. And he's like, hey, I got these things done this weekend. And you're like, okay. And then you don't do them because, you know, I'm not gonna do that. Anyway, that list gets longer and longer and longer. And there's always a job. You forgot one of those things was cleaning out the gutters. When's the last time you cleaned out the gutters on your house?

I honestly am the kind of guy that, oh, I forgot we have gutters.

And, you know, it's a problem. It's a problem. And I know that because we had to replace some of the siding on our, on our house because it had been so damaged because our gutters were filled and, and not looked after. Gosh darn that boy of mine.

You can find it now@leaffilter.com. glenn Beck leaffilter.com Glenn Beckley so the podcast tomorrow is with Annie Jacobson, who is, I think, one of my favorites, favorite writers and one of my favorite investigative journalists.

She was a Pulitzer Prize winning finalist.

And it's, honestly, it's weird. I mean, she would probably hate me saying this because I don't know where she stands politically. I just always assume. But it's like we're brother and sister. I mean, we just think so much alike. At least we're curious by the same kinds of things.

She's written the new book nuclear war, and I was talking to her about that and three other books of hers that she wrote because I was just curious about her viewpoint on some things that I'm struggling to try to figure out.

And after the interview was over, we were talking and I asked her another question. I said, I'm really concerned about this. And she just smiled and I said, what? And she said, that's the topic of my next book. She said, you're going to love that one. Too.

She just gets it. It.

But as I was thinking about, you know, good journalists, I thought, there's SHEllEnbergER now, Cheryl Atkinson, Barry Weiss, Annie Jacobson. Who else do we talked to?

Stu
Selena Zito the other day, who's doing a great job, as she has been for many, many years, covering Pennsylvania and so many other areas when it comes to the heartland of the country.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, she listens to people. Steve Baker is quickly becoming one of my favorite investigative journalists, mainly because, you know, what they're putting him through. It's obvious that he is on the right track.

But I don't think. We couldn't have done that ten years ago, could we?

Stu
Name list off a bunch of people.

Glenn Beck
That are top, top quality people that you can go to that we don't necessarily agree with but, you know, politically, but they actually are pursuing the truth.

Yeah.

Stu
No, I mean, I think there is, there is a movement and there are some people who just look at, and I think this is mainly caused by how far the left has gone in such a short period of time. Like the, like it. People who were on the left or in the middle, look at how far the left has gone and say, like, I, I don't know that I'm conservative, but I can't be that, whatever that is. I don't want to be with them.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. It's just liars, really. I can't. I couldn't. Could you imagine, stu, spending your whole life trying to do something, you know, of meaning, and then have people come in and start telling you, no, no, no, you can't report that. You can't talk about that. You have to do this. And those things are not nearly as important or, you know, are wrong. You know, the Russia collusion thing, all of that.

My gosh, I don't know how they live. I really don't know how they, they function as a human being? There's got to be such cognitive dissidents in their life.

Stu
Yeah. I mean, Barry Weiss is a great example just following that, where they hired her as, like, a top editorial person at the New York Times, and she went through, you know, a bunch of stuff behind the scenes, but eventually steps down, largely because she was upset with the direction of things were going. They were firing editorial directors because they were allowing us senators to write op eds.

It was like, crazy. And it got so crazy, she started her own thing, the free press, which a lot of the people that you mentioned have written for, which has been a really good addition to the media landscape. And now the New York Times just wrote a hit piece on her and her new effort. Like, that's how that was, like, a few years. And that is like, I know, from her being the hero there to the ultimate villain there in just a few years. And she's no conservative.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, well, I mean, look at. I mean, if you want to talk about that. The fastest turnover of the press is Kamala Harris. Yes. That was in a day. That was in a day. Yeah. That was crazy.

Stu
They leaked things.

Glenn Beck
Just crazy.

Stu
And wrote everything that people in the Biden White House hated about Kamala Harris. They wrote every little bit of it for three years. And within a weekend, she went from, literally this hated person. No one wanted to work for her. She was stupid. She failed on all the tasks she was given, and she turned into Rosa Parks Times Barack Obama.

Glenn Beck
I know.

Stu
In, like 48 hours.

Glenn Beck
It's crazy. So let me tell you another story we haven't talked about. I want to get to this podcast, and we'll. We'll do that as soon as we can.

But listen to it. It is with Annie Jacobson. It's on nuclear war. War. This is a fantastic book that I think everybody should read. We have forgotten about nuclear war. We don't have the collective memory anymore of how bad nuclear war is. And when Donald Trump was talking to Elon Musk on Monday, he brought it up at least seven times. Nuclear war. Nuclear war. Nuclear war. He'd bring it up out of the blue and just say, look. So it's something really on his mind, and I think it should be on the mind of every leader and every citizen. We cannot go into world War three with nuclear weapons. We cannot do it.

So listen to that. It's available now for play subscribers and also available for everybody. Wherever you get your podcast, that's tomorrow. You don't want to miss that episode. It's really good. Good.

But one thing we didn't talk about today yet that I find absolutely remarkable.

I don't know if you heard, but Secret Service kind of fouled up a few weeks ago.

President Trump was almost killed. Have you, by the way, seen the video, Stu, where they put the marksman sight on his head in real time with the video?

So it shows where the marksman was aiming as he fired the bullet?

Stu
Yeah, I've seen this, at least a version of this. I don't know if we're talking about the exact same one, but it's incredible.

Glenn Beck
It's. It would have gone right, almost right in his temple. It would have been John F. Kennedy. Okay. And he turns right at the right moment. And I mean, it's, it's a fraction of a second.

It's unbelievable. And it just grazes his ear, but it would have gone right through his temple on live television.

Stu
My God.

Glenn Beck
Crazy. So we haven't seen anybody really lose their job.

We haven't seen any disciplinary action. We haven't heard of anything they're doing differently. Now, listen to this.

This sounds like a Babylon B article.

The US Secret Service left former President Donald Trump vulnerable to attack after a female agent reportedly abandoned her post to breastfeed her child during an event in Asheville, North Carolina, on Wednesday.

Okay, this is after the guy is almost killed.

The person. Listen to this. Shortly before Trump's motorcade was set to arrive in the area, the site agent in charge overseeing all security for the event took one final sweep of walking the route, according to a report, and she walked. And then during the last minute security check, they're walking this thing and they find her breastfeeding her child in a room reserved for, quote, important secret Service official work.

Now, not only was she in there, but her family members were in there and they had gone past secret Service without a check.

Now, this is wrong for a couple of reasons. Obviously, the secret Service is not protecting their assets, okay? There is nothing more important than the protector protecting the protectee.

If you are on that job, you're not doing anything else. How hard is this? You're not doing anything else. You're not taking phone calls, you're not reading texts. Even if you're standing back behind. See, you are doing your damn job.

You certainly don't have your family bring your baby while you're in charge of it. It and breastfeed your baby. Now, I could, this is not about breastfeeding. However, I'm going to make it about breastfeeding. But that's in part two. This is not about breastfeeding.

This is about do your damn job.

As somebody who has seen the secret service up close, they are not protecting the president, the vice president and the former president. They are not qualified anymore to do it.

God, when will somebody wake up to this? Are we going to have to have a president shot or a candidate shot?

I'm worried about any candidate at any time getting shot. Do your job.

And if your baby interferes with that, then you should retire or take a hiatus.

Okay, now let me make this about breastfeeding.

Are we really a country that thinks it's okay to have somebody who their job is to put their body in front of the body of somebody that is being targeted?

Are we really a society that thinks it's okay for a mother who is still breastfeeding, that we're all cool with her being the one taking the bullet for the president? I mean, nobody wants to lose a dad, either. Nobody wants to lose a mom. You know, and teenagers in the house. I get that. But she's still breastfeeding the child.

The hell is wrong with us as a society?

Oh, we got to stand up for women. We got to stand up for women. Well, nobody's standing up for women. Oh, yes, we are. Those are men. They're not women. Those are Mendez. And you just. You dismiss and diminish women every time you stand up for a man in a dress who says he's a woman.

You degrade women.

Now, I know you're not supposed to hold the door open for anybody. I tell you, I give my kids the lecture.

They are so familiar with it, but they're happy that they've been raised this way, but they stick out like a sore thumb. I told my daughter, don't you ever get into a car with a boy who doesn't open the door for you. You just stand there. If he gets in, you just stand there. Don't say anything until he gets out. And you'll probably say, what?

I don't know. Open the door for me.

My daughter does it, and it's a test. It's a test.

And my son does the same thing. He opens the door every time.

And I know you're not supposed to do that because women are strong enough. Yeah, I get it.

Out of respect, out of common decency.

Can we not have this?

Can we not just say, hey, you know, take a couple of months off, you know, at least until your baby, you know, you, for some reason, can't pump.

But, you know, even if you're pumping, your baby is still dependent on you.

Take a secret Service job that doesn't require you to stand as a shield for the president.

It's a treasury department, man. They got a lot of stuff you can do.

One more thing.

Members of my security staff have been on jobs recently, and, you know, they'll stand back as they are. You know, I'm doing something, and the president is there. And so my security and secret Service, they just talk, you know, while we're doing stuff.

And he was talking to one of them. One of my guys was talking to a secret service agent. I.

And how long have you been guarding the former president?

Oh, they just shoved me here. What?

Yeah, they just. They just put me here. It's not the job I want. I don't want to be doing this. I really want this job. Blah, blah, blah.

May I ask, then why the hell are you on that detail? Detail?

That detail used to be something that was honorable, that you would, you'd kill to be on that team. That, that was the highest honor. Now we're putting people on that are like, I wish I had another job. I don't want to do. This secret service is out of control.

It's out of control.

Somebody has got to save the republic, and it ain't going to be the secret Service. You keep your eyes peeled when you're at events.

All right, more in just a second.

I saved that. Save that for the last, because I knew it put my voice out.

Rough greens. You know how your kids are always complaining because you know I don't like dinner?

Drives you crazy, right? Your dog never does that. Your dog may not like the food, but he eats it.

You might have to. In my case, I had to hand feed uno because he just would lose interest and he wouldn't eat.

And we tried everything.

When I heard about rough greens, I talked to Dennis Black. He's the guy who came up with the formula for this. And I talked to him and I said, I know it's really good for the dog. And I brought it to my vet, and my vet said, if you can get your dog to eat this, this is fantastic for him. And, uh, I said, look, I just want him to eat the kibble food. You know, Dennis will, will he actually eat food? Because I can't hand feed him anymore. And he said, oh, yeah, uno runs to his bowl now. It's amazing. Please. It's really good for your dog. Your dog. If you have a problem with your dog eating, you just sprinkle this stuff on it. And they love it.

It's rough greens. Ruff greens.com Beck roughgreens.com Becker, call 833 Glenn, 33.

The Glenn Beck program.

We'll be right back.

Our extraordinary president, Joe Biden.

Robert Epstein
Yeah. Yeah.

Stu
Woo.

Glenn Beck
And he's gonna speak in a minute, but there's a lot of love in this room.

Robert Epstein
They love him.

Stu
They love that guy so much.

Glenn Beck
They sure do. They love.

Stu
Can you feel the joy in that clip? Can you feel it?

Incredible amounts of joy. And they just love him. They love him so much that they had to remove him after he won the primary and participated in a debate on stage as the nominee. And they just needed to just throw him to the side like a piece of trash and put in, I don't want to say another piece of trash, but another candidate in to replace him. And that's the joy of the Kamala Harris campaign, by the way. Beautiful speaking voice she has. That is, that's gonna not, that's not gonna be irritating people at all over the next few months. I'm sure that's gonna hold up really, really well. Triple H 727 back is the phone number. Have a great weekend. Hope you do. And we'll see you back on Monday.
