Let me tell you about Lear capital.

You know and I know the country is in real trouble.

If Donald Trump gets in, we have a chance of saving it. But our dollar is, they've done so much damage to our dollar.

And meanwhile, all of the central banks except ours are buying gold.

What are the rich people doing? How the rich people get richer and you stay poorer.

You don't do some of the things that they do now. I know buying gold, it's expensive now. It wasn't, you know, a few years ago, but it is very expensive now. But silver is not.

Please consider calling Lear capital today.

My investment in this is quadrupled over the years. They have $3 billion in trusted transactions, thousands of five star reviews, 24 hours risk free purchase guarantee. I want you to call them right now. Go to Lear capital. Get your free wealth protection guide at 800 957 gold. That's 809,500 gold.

We begin in just a sec.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I don't know if you've seen the video yet of the ex Navy SeAL congressman from Arizona that actually got up onto that roof where the shooter was.

And it was very, very steep. I mean, he was practically a mountain climber. A 70 year old guy got up onto the roof and was walking with the congressman. Okay, 70 year old guy.

It wasn't anything horrible to scale. Why was no one up on the roof? We still don't have answers from the head of the secret service.

I mean, if you wanted a country to come up with all kinds of conspiracy theories, you would act the way they are acting right now. We have the ex Navy SeAL congressman, representative from Arizona, Eli Crane, joins us in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour about her dog's experience with rough greens. She said, our dog Alex, is having a rough time with his yearly bout of allergies. But after just trying rough greens twice, his scratching and licking have completely stopped. Not only that, his fur has gotten shinier and he has more energy. We're so happy. We heard you talking about rough greens on the radio, Glenn, thank you. Thank you for making our little Alex feel and look so much better. Kara, thank you. Thanks for writing in and, you know, giving Alex rough greens. Rough greens is not a dog for. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black that you sprinkle on your dog's food. Remember, brown food is dead food. You need the green stuff. Folks at roughgreens are so confident your dog is going to love this that they want to give you your first trial bag for free. You just pay for shipping. All you do is call 833 Glenn 33. 833 Glenn 33. Or ruffgreens, r u F. Fgreens.com.

beck, let's go right to representative from Arizona.

Eli Crane is with us now. Hello, sir. How are you?

Eli Crane
Hey, mister Beck, thanks for having me on.

Glenn Beck
Please, call me Glenn. Congressman, we're thrilled to have you on. Thank you for going up and shooting this video yesterday.

It is. It's quite remarkable. Tell us what you found.

Eli Crane
Yeah, thanks, Glenn. So myself and several other members of the Homeland security Committee were given permission by the FBI to go out there yesterday.

We tried to get out there last week, but we couldn't get cleared to go, so we all went out there.

And I'll tell you, Glenn, the first thing I noticed as soon as I stepped out of the suv that we had in the motorcade in the parking lot, hadn't even toured the grounds yet, hadn't gone to the shooter building, was, I noticed a big water tower. Glenn. And as a former Navy SEAL sniper, I noticed my head started going immediately. Why wasn't somebody in that water tower that vastly overlooks everything in this entire scene that I'm looking at here has 360 degree coverage? And as I started touring the grounds and we actually went into the building that was behind the shooter's roof, that actually was two stories that had windows overlooking the shooter's roof. And we learned from the individual who owned that building, who allowed us access to the building. He said that he believed that the secret Service or law enforcement, he wasn't exactly sure was in one of those rooms because it had air conditioning. And as I took a video in the room and then panned it out the window, you could see that there was complete and full coverage of that roof. So that was one thing. And then we got a chance to walk out on the actual shooter's roof so that we could look at lines of sight.

And we easily debunked the slanted roof claim that director Cheadle made last week, saying that they wouldn't put countersnipers up on that roof because the roof was too slanted.

It was so easy to walk up it, Glenn.

As a matter of fact, right behind me coming up the ladder was Carlos Jimenez, one of the members of Homeland Security who's 70 years old. He walked right up that ladder, walked right onto the roof. And if you look at the video that I posted on X and on Instagram, you can see the entire staff of Homeland security just walking around taking pictures like no big deal, no risk at all.

Glenn Beck
So is there any reason whatsoever, do you buy the reason that it was a sloped roof and it was just too dangerous? You don't buy that, do you?

Eli Crane
I don't at all, Glenn. It sounds to me like, you know, another attempt to gaslight the american people. And I feel like it's getting so common, especially with this administration dealing with Secretary Mayorkas all the time. Unfortunately, it seems par for the course.

And unfortunately, as you said in your opening, it's definitely making a bunch of people believe that this was an inside job because so many things were asinine and wrong and done poorly and backwards and dropped. And, you know, I think we're going to continue to investigate things. But when I look at the entire picture here, Glenn, and how, you know, I don't believe the Democrats believe they could beat President Trump straight up.

And when I look at the fact that they tried to put him in jail for over 750 years, I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but at the same time, I don't want to rule anything out because I don't put it past some of the people in our government to do anything necessary to hold on to power.

Glenn Beck
That is absolutely terrifying. Hearing that come from a congressman, that is terrifying.

Eli Crane
Yeah, well, what are we supposed to say, Glenn? Are we just supposed to ignore the obvious? I mean, how did, let's start here, Glenn. How did a 20 year old kid with no military experience have an advanced explosive package with a twelve channel transmitter so he could have remotely detonated multiple bombs to create diversion, so that he could have distracted agents to get off his shot, if that's, in fact, what he was planning on doing. And I've talked to some of the agents on the ground, Glenn, and they told me that, hey, we've been doing explosive work for a long time. We rarely encounter this complex, these complex explosives, let alone from a 20 year old kid. So you got that?

How did a kid or anybody get within 150 yards of the former president of the United States with an AR 15?

It might be a little bit more excusable, Glenn, if it was like a handgun or something you could conceal. But this was an AR 15.

I mean, how did that happen? And then I told you about that water tower. If you go back and watch my video, you would have placed any shooter, any sniper would have looked at what I looked at as soon as I stepped out of the suv and said, why wasn't there a counter sniper team in the highest, by far the highest structure on this property that has 360 degree observation and command of this entire field. And if you look at the video I shot, Glenn, taken right from where the shooter was, you could see the water tower right over my head. That young man wouldn't.

Glenn Beck
No, I know.

Eli Crane
He wouldn't have got off the ladder, Glenn, let alone climbed up the roof and been able to take seven or eight shots.

Glenn Beck
Do you believe? And who was responsible for the group that didn't go on? Because it, you know, it's got a pretty, you know, pretty wicked rake on that roof. It's like a slope of a driveway in Texas.

But they now say they weren't up there because it was too hot.

I don't believe this at all. Was this local? Was this.

Who was this that was making those decisions?

Eli Crane
My understanding, Glenn, is that the individuals that were supposed to be in that section were actually local, trained law enforcement individuals. And so you know that. But it's hard to know right now. I think there's so much misinformation, lack of communication. Obviously, the director of Secret Service isn't answering any questions. And so I think there's a lot of speculation going out there right now. I think it's too early to know, but from what I'm hearing, the individuals that were from people on the ground, the individuals that were supposed to be covering that building in that sector, Glenn, were actually locals.

The one behind the building, behind the.

Glenn Beck
Shooter'S roof, those locals, then, should be held responsible. But I have a feeling since that we haven't heard anything from them.

They're being told not to say anything, and I'd like to talk to those locals. I think those locals that were in that building, if they're responsible, then they should be fired.

And their. And their names should be known as people that just didn't fail to keep the president safe. People should know, so people learn a lesson not to do that.

The. The.

The other thing that I noticed in your video is you're standing in the building right behind where the shooter was, and there are windows looking out onto that roof. If these guys were inside, why was no one even on a window looking at that roof?

Eli Crane
That's it. That's exactly right, Glenn, which is why I keep. You know, and. And I told you, Glenn, as soon as I got on here. Look, I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, and I don't want to jump to the worst case scenario right off the bat, but when you. When you have a little bit of security training like I do, and probably many people that listen to your show. Do. If you were to walked onto that scene with me and us yesterday, and you would have seen that many errors made, you know, because if. Okay, now we're being told, Glenn, that, oh, it was too hot outside.

Okay, well, then go inside and go into that office that I took the video from out the window that overlooked the complete roof, and it would have been a 20 yard shot. I mean, they could have taken him out with the pistol. It was that. It was that close of a shot and they could have had air conditioning. So there's just so many things that don't add up. And, I mean, I'm.

Glenn Beck
Congressman, I have to. I'm sorry. I know you're a Navy seal and I am. I'm not going to allow people to besmirch any good agent or any good cop or military. You've been in Afghanistan in the heat of all of a sudden, everybody that we employ in the secret Service is too much of a puss to walk on a 3% slope and stand out in the heat. That's insulting to everyone who has a badge.

Eli Crane
Well, yeah, you know, this. This whole thing is insulting. And, you know, it'll be interesting to see how it. How it pans out, Glenn. And, you know, I actually have a lot of respect for, you know, a lot of the guys, secret service, FBI at the lower level. I know a lot of these guys work really hard to do their job. And it'll be interesting to, as we go through our oversight, to find out who made the call on where the counter snipers could go, where they couldn't go, who authorized them to come off the roof.

There's going to be a lot of. I think there's going to be a lot more surprises. And I'm hearing from others on the ground that there's some other information that is quite disturbing that isn't being, you know, some people are afraid to come out and talk about it yet. So I think this is going to continue to evolve, and I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to come on your show and talk about it.

Glenn Beck
Is there any of that stuff that you can talk about at this point to give us a clue as to what else is being said?

Eli Crane
You know, not at this point.

I definitely want to. I definitely want to make sure that my sources are ready and feel comfortable releasing the information.

Glenn Beck
How difficult is this shot from, on a scale of my seven year old daughter could make this shot to. It could only really be made by an Olympic shooter. How difficult was this shot?

Eli Crane
You know, when I think about that, Glenn.

150 or 138 yard shot, depending on who you're talking to. It's not that hard of a shot. But with an AR 15 and a little, what I'm hearing he had was like a little chinese red dot sight, probably not magnified at all.

Shooting at somebody's head. That's, I think, what his first shot was. I think that's what he was aiming for. Do you gotta imagine maybe, you know, an eight to ten inch, you know, target that he's shooting at?

You know, it sounds. And it sounds like he was rushed because somebody came up a ladder, a law enforcement individual came up a ladder, supposedly. That's the story. He pointed the gun at the law enforcement officer. So at that point, he. His, his, you know, his spidey senses are already ratcheted up. His blood's already pumping. He knows he's about to try and take a shot and kill, you know, the former president of the United States, one of the most popular, you know, men in, on the globe right now. His blood's already pumping. You know, he turns around, he sees that law enforcement officer points his gun at him. He knows the gig is up. He probably repositions himself, knows he has seconds to get off the shot.

Anna Paulina Luna
He's.

Eli Crane
He's already done a, you know, a pre reconnaissance flight with his drone, according to law enforcement services. So he knows there are sniper teams, meaning he knows he's probably about to die. And so, you know, I know that a lot of us have said, like, 150 yards, that's not a long shot. But when you start factoring in all of those things, especially with the equipment, if he would have had a sniper rifle, I'd be telling you it's a little bit easier of a shot. But with an AR 15 with an aim point red dot sight on there, 150 yards to an eight to ten inch head ring. You know, knowing everything that I just said, I actually think it was a. I actually think it was a pretty, you know, difficult shot, especially for a 20 year old man that didn't a 20 year old man that didn't have any military training or any real tactical training.

Glenn Beck
Well, thank you so much for going there and speaking with us today. We would like to stay in touch with you so we can get to the bottom of this. If. If the administration was interested in bringing peace to the country and stopping any kind of conspiracy theories, they would stop working with Google and they would start being transparent and just share these things, and they would have fired people already.

Representative Eli Crane from the state of Arizona. Thank you so much, Eli. Appreciate it.

Eli Crane
Thank you, Glenn. Appreciate it.

Glenn Beck
You bet.

Pat Gray
Bye bye.

Glenn Beck
All right, let me tell you about your leaf home gutter system.

You have to clean your gutters.

I have to clean my gut. I don't have to clean my gutters because my gutters get torn down by ice and snow, which I love.

It's an efficient way to get the job done. It means I don't have to get on a ladder, just have to ride a gigantic check every year. But anyway, when you are responsible and you have a wife that comes along and says what, you know, what's with the gutters? You know, you're back to square one. Gutters are going to need to be cleaned soon.

Fortunately, the solution is leaf filter from leaf home gutters. It's a filter for your gutters that helps protect your home from flooding, roof damage, rotting siding, foundation issues, all of that fun stuff and so much more.

glenn Beck 10 seconds. Station Id hey, we're really excited. In fact, we have the chasing embers commercial. Chasing embers is out today. Wherever you buy your books. Here's a quick sneak peek.

It should have been utopia, but instead it was madness.

It was blackouthenne and distrust.

It was cheating and lying.

It was rioting and paranoia.

America was dead and Topo's killed it.

This is where our story begins.

On a death defying search for the truth about their past, two teenagers find themselves on the wrong side of the most powerful corporation the world has ever seen.

They have one chance to start a new life, but it may cost them everything.

Chasing Embers, the first young adult fiction novel from number one best selling author Glenn Beck. On sale now everywhere books are sold.

This is young adult. But I think everybody is going to enjoy this book, chasing embers. It's a great, sneaky sort of way to learn history as our characters in the book try to find out what's true and what's not, because everything has been erased. The idea here is he who controls the past controls the future.

Don't lose our future by losing our past.

It is chasing embers, and it is available now in bookstores. Grab it. We would love to hear your review. I think you're going to have a hard time putting this thing down. It is really, really good chasing embers. Okay. Welcome to Pat Gray from Pat Gray unleashed. We're going to get into the testimony yesterday and play some of the sound bites, Pat, that I know you have been feasting on all morning from this ridiculous hearing in Congress yesterday.

Pat Gray
Fun thing about that, though, is that was bipartisan. There was bipartisan anger against her.

I was a little surprised.

Glenn Beck
Why? Why would you not have that person fired?

Pat Gray
I know. I mean, she should have been gone already. I mean, why even bring her in to testify? Just get rid of her. She's obviously the worst.

Glenn Beck
She doesn't, she's going in and testifying and she's saying, oh, I have a timeline. I just don't have any of the pertinent details attached to that timeline. Well, what the hell are you doing here then, right? What are you doing? If you can't provide any answers at all, something is very wrong. Glenn Beck, good news is we have Congressman Anna Paulina Luna on with us next. She was there, and what she said after the hearing is remarkable. We'll talk, talk to her about that here in just a second. 1st let me tell you about us. Navy special warfare operator first class Christopher Chambers. This is an american hero. He enlisted in the Navy, later graduated from SEAL training. Tragically, at the age of about 37, Christopher was killed in the line of duty while conducting a nighttime raid on a ship belonging to the houthi forces in Yemen.

Yeah, but nobody's died. Nobody's died. Not on my watch.

The tunnel to Towers foundation immediately stepped up to the plate for Christopher's wife and young daughter, providing them with a mortgage free home, because that's what they do. They help America's heroes and their families. The foundation honors the legacy of those who made the ultimate sacrifice or who've been catastrophically injured while serving our nation and our country. If you would like to help protect the freedoms we all enjoy, protect the people that defend that. Donate $11 a month to tunnel to towers at t two t.org dot. That's tthenumber two t.org dot.

Glenn Beck
From the state of Florida, Congresswoman Anna Polina Luna joins us now. She was in the oversight briefing yesterday, and she said after leaving the briefing this morning, I am more convinced than ever that crooks wasn't working alone. That is the shooter she's here to talk about that now. Congresswoman, welcome to the program.

Anna Paulina Luna
Hey, thanks for having me back on.

Glenn Beck
Sure. So what did you hear yesterday that, that made you come to this conclusion? I mean, I think we all, we all listen to the testimony yesterday and thought there's something very, very wrong here. But what did you hear that made you say he wasn't alone?

Anna Paulina Luna
We were actually told directly that specifically with the investigation, that they haven't been able, they have not ruled out the fact that he was working alone. Meaning. And I thought this all along, based on what we've been seeing with testimony, evidence coming forward, is that he had a handler.

I don't know how many people he's working with, but I definitely based on that. And then also, I think it just really, really mind blowing that in the hearing yesterday, I actually asked the very same question to the secret service secretary. And she actually, again, not just on my question, but on a number of questions where we had the evidence right in front of us, conflicting statements or wrong statements, just not even prepared to answer those questions. So I still hold by that opinion. And I think that it's really, really insane that the media itself is not picking up on the fact that this crooks character was on social media, gaming apps where you can communicate. I'm hoping that they have subpoenaed those records with discord in order to see who exactly he was chatting with, maybe even flagging the IP addresses.

Glenn Beck
You know, I found out something from the FBI.

My son was, somebody tried to groom and grab my son, and we caught him.

Anna Paulina Luna
Oh, my gosh.

Glenn Beck
The last minute. Yeah. And the FBI was in my house, and they took his gaming system, and they told me something that I didn't know. Gaming systems record everything.

Everything.

Anna Paulina Luna
I did not know that either.

Glenn Beck
So I didn't know that either. So who has this guy's gaming system? And what gaming system was it? Because the, the information the FBI said that they could get from his gaming system was mind blowing.

So who has his gaming system?

Anna Paulina Luna
It's interesting because I had seen some information come out. So I was actually just kind of bouncing questions off of Capitol police, actually, on my way back from the convention, just kind of seeing if they knew about front digital forensics, all of that. And to my understanding, that one of these games that he was allegedly on actually was on a system that specific for PCs. So I think, and it's very likely, obviously, that the FBI already has that. But I mean, either which way, the reason why I and a number of my colleagues have been pushing for this task force and select committee with full subpoena power to conduct a parallel investigation is because I have zero faith and confidence in the FBI. And you're seeing that even come out right now. They won't share information with members of Congress, especially on this attempted assassination attempt. You see that the Department of Homeland Security is actually stonewalling Congress as well and had to have subpoenaed communications between secret service and other law enforcement area. They weren't willing to give that information up to us. So I just. If there's nothing to hide and they're not being shady, why are they hiding everything? Why did they want it done in secret? Why did they push so hard to prevent us from actually having this hearing in the public?

Glenn Beck
That's why that. That's.

That really bothers me. Let's just say that it is all what it seems to be on the surface, okay? He acted alone. It was just really bad, you know, secret service policies, et cetera, et cetera. Let's just say that's what it is.

You know, the country is at a tipping point and at a boiling point.

And you also keep saying you despise disinformation, conspiracy theories, et cetera, et cetera. Why in the world would you keep everything quiet? Why wouldn't you become overly transparent? To turn the temperature of the country down?

Anna Paulina Luna
Exactly.

Glenn Beck
Makes no sense.

Anna Paulina Luna
Literally. I literally asked her this yesterday in the hearing and also to the one thing I was specifically concerned about. And I also, too, was trying to get questions for the american people on ISdev.

I had looked at this video and theory that there was a second shooter on a water tower. Well, while I was digging through information before the hearing, it comes to find out not from. Not from secret service, but from our sourcing and testimony from law enforcement in the area that there was actually 40 sniper teams. And so according to the ESU Butler emergency response coordinator team, secret service never actually even showed up to get the briefing with the other sniper. So what is this person? Is this individual who was on the water tower? Was that an individual? Was that a shadow? Is it someone who's one of these 40 sniper teams? I mean, we need to ask and answer those questions. And she couldn't even do that. The basics. And so we are left with the vote for holding her accountable is going to come to the floor. We have Nancy Mace that just filed to impeach her. I think that'll pass. But in the event that it doesn't, we have some other mechanisms, and there's been bipartisan calls at this point for her to resign. So that's how bad she did to put in perspective bipartisan, for her to resign. Speaker one.

Glenn Beck
Well, somebody, I mean, you guys are the oversight, and somebody has to answer. It's like walking into your boss's office and being belligerent. You fire that person. You fire that person until you get answers on something. Let me ask you this. There was a story that came out from Mike Waltz, the congressman Mike Waltz, last week, and he just said it. And then I never heard it again, that crooks had three encrypted overseas accounts. He never said that they were phone or banking. And it's not usual for a 20 year old.

Is that true? Do we know anything about that?

Anna Paulina Luna
I haven't been able to follow up on that information either. But what I will say is, based on what we're being told, and what I can say is that I do believe that he had handlers, and I think that he was using actually these systems to communicate with people, potentially preventing there from actually being a record of communication, because some of these apps will only store for x amount of time. But if you're saying it's on the gaming system, I mean, again, the FBI is not sharing any information with us. So that's been shady also, too, let's not forget he had very advanced detonation systems. He had surveilled. He learned to use a rangefinder. There's no way that this, you know, 20 something year old went from being just some quiet, quiet kid to being a trained assassin. And that's exactly what it was.

Glenn Beck
So I hate to even ask this question. So I don't know if I want the answer.

Do you believe at this point it's more likely the handler was american or foreign?

Anna Paulina Luna
I honestly don't know. But what I will, I guess, I guess, based on what I'm seeing weigh in on and say is that they were reporting right after this, and I don't know if this was Secret Service just putting up these reports only to throw us off on their complete failure, but they were reporting that there were foreign nations that had attempted or were talking about assassination attempts on President Trump.

And so part of me is like, is it that, or is it actually something, you know, intentional, negligent?

Glenn Beck
Now, let me switch gears. Kind of, president hasn't been seen in a few days, and he was really sick. We're now hearing that it was more than Covid in Las Vegas, that there was a medical team that he went and saw, I think, at the hospital. And it was significant, but we don't know because nobody's really telling us then we haven't seen him at all.

And now yesterday, he del, he began delegating his presidential powers to the secretary of the treasury and State Department when it comes to Ukraine.

I've never seen a president delegate his presidential authorities to other agencies. Have you?

Anna Paulina Luna
I have not. And to just put some context in that as well, I was actually walking back from my office a couple, maybe about three weeks ago, and I had run into Senator Mike Lee, and we were chatting and he goes, you know, something along the lines of, you know, I think they know that Biden's going to lose this election and that we're going to take back, you know, House, Senate, president. So they're trying to handcuff a presidential administration on Ukraine. And so to my knowledge back then, they were actually even trying to figure out ways to prevent or even treat Ukraine like a NATO ally so that we would not be able to, to my understanding, like defund them in any capacity. And so I think that's what you're starting to see, and that's exactly why they delegated like that. But I think, you know, going back to your point, we haven't even seen the president. I think everyone knows that he's cognitively not there, and I think that's why he needs to resign. And I think it's very ironic that Democrats are saying, well, he's not fit to seek reelection, but he needs to serve out his term. Like, that's insanity.

Glenn Beck
That's insane. So who oversees the administration? I mean, you have oversight of, you know, of all of the cabinet, but, but they're not doing anything about it. I don't, I really don't think anything's going to happen this term to the Secret Service. I'd be shocked if it did, and I'd be happy if it did.

But nobody ever is held accountable.

Who oversees? Who can tell me who is running the country?

Anna Paulina Luna
Well, it's supposed to be Congress and Senate that would have a check power on the executive branch. But as you're seeing, Senate right now is blocking anything that would even allow us to impeach Biden based on what he's done. That would, I would argue, is criminal.

So it would then be up to his cabinet. And what we're seeing is that his cabinet seems very much so to be in the influencer or circle of likely Obama holdovers, Pelosi and Schumer. And also I think that it's, you know, timing wise, very convenient that we were hearing from great sourcing that Biden was doubling down. He was not going to get out. He was in this literally until he breathes his loss. He did not want to give up the presidency. And it appears that he was forced out or likely threatened with the 25th amendment via his own cabinet. So.

Glenn Beck
These are remarkable times that we're living in.

Every day, another page in the history book. I know. And you've got a front row seat to it.

Anna, thank you so much.

And please stay in touch with us. Let us know how we can help. And any information that you want to get out, please let us know. We'll stay in touch.

Dan Bongino
Absolutely.

Anna Paulina Luna
Thank you so much, guys.

Glenn Beck
You bet. Congresswoman Anna Polina Luna, the representative from Florida. We have Dan Bongino joining us in a minute. Pat and I are going to go over all of the audio, and it is, it's really disturbing and something is very, very wrong.

This was stuff we had planned for the first ten minutes of the program today. Okay.

So we're running a little bit behind. Let me tell you about car shield. You rely on your car to get around safely and efficiently.

Welcome, welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad that you're here. Wow, this been quite an hour, Pat has been, we had two congressmen basically say, don't know if our government is involved in trying to off a presidential candidate. Don't know where our president is, don't know who's running the country.

Pat Gray
Right. Don't know if it's a, it's our government, a foreign government, you know, just, or just some 20 year old kid who went nuts. Who knows? I mean, we don't know.

Glenn Beck
And, and, you know, what's frightening is so many Americans are not paying attention to this.

I mean, we've talked about bad things in the past that, you know, you really got to pay attention.

This one, you would think would be everywhere what is happening.

And we're, we have half the country that's considering giving these people another four years when you can't get an answer on anything.

Are you insane?

Pat Gray
And how, how has she not been fired? How has the Secret Service not had a turnover in leadership already? That should have been done the next day?

And here we are ten days down the road, and she still has a job and still won't answer any questions from the american speaker.

Glenn Beck
One, I'm wondering if it's because there's nobody really in charge in the administration. There's nobody really above that is paying any attention. You know, who's holding them accountable? You know, nobody. The other agencies, nobody. Nobody is holding them accountable.

It's bad. We need answers. And that is the name of the program that is coming tomorrow on my Wednesday night special. We need answers. Who's running the country?

What really happened with the assassination attempt? Why hasn't anybody been, been fired? What is true? What's a rumor? We need answers. Tomorrow night at 09:00 p.m. the Glenn Beck Wednesday night special, blazetv.com glenn. The promo code is still Glenn 30 trial.

Uh, Glenn 30 trial is the, uh, promo code. Blaze tv.com glenn. That's 09:00 p.m. tomorrow we're going to get you some answers. We'll probably have more questions than answers, but we do have some people on that are going to be giving us some answers, uh, as well. Uh, this, you know, I talked about the president deferring or moving some of his duties, delegating his duties to other agencies. I want to read that to you because I don't, I mean, I've never seen anything like this. He is delegating his presidential powers to other secretaries.

Yeah. I mean, I don't even know. Is that legal? How do you do that? But it's all in legalese, so it's gotta be legal if they're doing it. We'll talk about that. And Dan Bongino joins us next. The Glenn Beck program as a dog owner, how often are you thinking about the food you're giving your best friend?

Is this something he likes? More importantly, is it actually good for him? The unfortunate truth is that brown food is dead food. So all of the good stuff, the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, everything else has been baked out of kibble food. Now they spray it with a bunch of stuff, but again, it's got to last two years in a bag, according to the government. So is it really good? What you need to do is add all of that stuff back in by sprinkling some rough greens on top, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants and real flavor that your dog loves.

Uno became one of the happiest and not so picky eater.

He was the exact opposite of that before we started giving him rough greens. Ruffgreens.com Beck or call 833 Glenn 33 get your first trial bag for free. You just pay for shipping. 833 glenn 33 roughgreens.com Beckley it's a new day. I turn around.

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

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America. There is a lot of questions. We need some answers, and I'd like to know some basic things. After watching the Secret Service chief testify yesterday, she said absolutely nothing. She should have been fired on the spot, but she wasn't. But we'll see if she lasts the week. Dan Bongino is here. He used to be presidential secret service coverage, and he knows how it all works. I've got some questions that I would love some answers on.

I think he's probably the best one out there to talk to us about it. He comes up in 60 seconds. You know, one of the things that I really wish somebody in that crowd had was a burn, a launcher. You wouldn't have been able to shoot the guy and kill him, but you could have launched a tear gas pellet his way and you would have stopped the attempted assassination. Gee, I mean, even if maybe somebody in the secret Service or somebody who was in the building, building and they're hearing somebody on a metal roof, walking on the metal roof, they could have done it themselves.

If you don't have a gun, the best thing to have is a Burna launcher. It's a non lethal alternative to safeguarding your home. It's legal in all 50 states. If you're over 18, you can pack it in your checked luggage without the need to declare it as a firearm, because it's not. It is powerful, powerful deterrence. It has tear gas kinetic rounds with a 60 foot range and one shot could anticipate, can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. Go to burna byrna.com glenn. Berna.com, glenn.

How are you, sir?

Dan Bongino
Good to talk to you, Glenn. Doing okay.

Glenn Beck
Dan, I remember when we first met, you were still on presidential detail, and you said that you were standing in the room with these guys while I was on the air and they hated me. And because of their reaction, you started really paying attention to what was being said in those rooms. And I told you I'm really concerned about the security of the president because I was on the outside looking at you and you, people like you and seeing the Secret Service being completely inept from the top, not necessarily the agents, it has gotten so bad now, Dan, and I'm not sure that it is. They're being inept. I'm not sure what the hell's going on.

Dan Bongino
Yeah, these problems aren't, you know, new. And there's a lot of kind of Johnny come lately commentary on this from the left wing media goons. But the reality is, you know, people like me were calling attention to this problem over a decade ago. And, you know, I've got the receipts to back it up. I mean, you can go look at interviews I gave to the Washingtonian, a book I wrote called protecting the president, all diagnosing all the problems with the Secret Service. You're going to read the book. You're going to think, gosh, did he write this ten minutes ago? No, I wrote it ten years ago. And what wound up happening, and, you know, a subject you're probably unfortunately familiar with is the left wing media. Rather than analyzing what Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Hannity, and Dan Bongino say, they go on attack mode right away because of the messenger. They just don't like us. See, I don't do the same with them. If I hear something from the left wing media I can independently vet, it doesn't mean it's naturally false. Unfortunately, a lot of times it is.

Pat Gray
But.

Dan Bongino
But the irony is they claim to be journalists. They attacked me as a conspiracy theorist for telling, for telling folks on my show in August of 2023. It's episode 2079 if anyone wants to listen. From last year where I said that Donald Trump was likely going to be hurt or killed, I was getting that information from high ranking secret Service sources who were very troubled by the, by the minimal security posture applied to Donald Trump and the repeated requests for enhanced security that were being rebuffed. And Daniel Arkin from NBC wrote a piece you can still read because it's embarrassingly still up, calling me a conspiracy theorist, saying I was stating this without evidence, without ever having speaking to me or asking me what my evidence was. So if you're listening to shows like this and your program, you're six weeks, six months, six years ahead of the news cycle. If you listen to liberal media, you're consistently stunned to by attempts like this on Donald Trump's life, thinking, what happened?

Glenn Beck
So tell me your gut at this point, and I know I'm asking you to go on limited facts because they're not releasing everything, but you have inside connections.

Is your gut, does your gut tell you this is just more of the same incompetence times 1000, or is something nefarious going on?

Dan Bongino
Well, listen, the latter I can't answer. One thing I never do is I never go down roads where I don't know if it ends off a cliff, because then you wind up like the left wing media. Oh, look, there's a peepee tape out there.

Glenn Beck
Really?

Dan Bongino
Have you seen it? No, I don't know. Nefarious, I can tell you the level of incompetence leads naturally to the second question. You're not crazy to ask it. But the level of incompetence here is stunning. Listen, because people think in threes and nuggets and pieces of information. I'm going to give you a couple of chunks of information here from over ten years of experience, and having worked with three presidents, two Democrats and a Republican, having done hundreds of advances, and haven't actually done four foreign lead advances, too. So, you know, I know what I'm talking about.

Number one, why was President Trump on the X? Or we would call the X, why was he out on the podium at all? It's a question nobody can answer. And it's also the reason in the hearing yesterday, if you go back and listen to it, it the director, Kim Cheadle, a failed human being who disgracefully is still sitting in her job, putting the nation at risk from her incompetence. It's why she won't answer the timeline question. Did you notice how cryptic she was?

Glenn Beck
Yes.

Dan Bongino
Won't answer the timeline question, because if she gives you a time that the threat was recognized, then the obvious next question is, well, if you knew there was a threat up to an hour out, potentially 18 minutes out, depending on who you believe. Why was President Trump walked on the stage in the middle of getting scoped out and range located by a sniper? And she can't answer it question.

Glenn Beck
So. But her answer will seem to be in the coming days that. Well, yes, but we didn't have communications open with the people that were there. Those were local. Were that cat, don't you have a command center?

Dan Bongino
Yes. Don't waste your time. You just said it.

Glenn Beck
Don't even.

Dan Bongino
I don't care what her answer is. It's called the command post. You're Glenn, you, you know, go. You have zero experience as a secret service agent. You're. You're a very talented radio media guy. Even you knew that I actually worked.

You never worked in the Secret Service. You're like, wait, no, they have a command center. Here's the answer. Yes, it's called the CP, the command post. Every single law enforcement entity working that operation had either a representative or a radio in there. There is absolutely zero chance the command post did not get information that they were working a suspicious mail surveilling the outside of the perimeter with a rangefinder. There's zero chance. So when, you know, you ask questions like, well, how has he walked out on stage? The answer is such incredible, gross incompetence. I don't blame people for saying, there's got to be something more here. I just don't know that. All I'm telling you is that the failure here was so apocalyptic, everyone on that advanced team should have resigned the next day. The director, the deputy director, all of them. How they still have jobs is incredible. Let me throw one more thing out at you, too. Let's just say all of the directors stupid stories are accurate. They're not. But say they are. Say the roof was sloped, it was hot that day. Whatever ridiculous excuse you make, I've run into problems in the past where we could not secure a line of sight problems. We didn't have enough bodies. Whatever. I had a site with Hillary Clinton. We just didn't have enough bodies to secure a dorm room. Looking out on her speech site at Hofstra University, you know what I did? I had them go out and get a five dollar can of that snow spray, that fake snow.

Why would I do that? Because I sprayed the windows. Because I figured, listen, if we can't mitigate this line of sight threat and this potential sniper, at least we can block the line of sight so they can't see what they're shooting. Sometimes it's the best you can do. They didn't even do that. They didn't even do that. They just let the line of sight threat exist. And the counter surveillance vulnerability assessment, which is a piece of paperwork the counter surveillance team looks at that'll show that they knew that was a vulnerability and yet they did nothing about it. They basically let him get shot.

Glenn Beck
They haven't released that, though, have they, that document?

Dan Bongino
No. They're going to claim it's classified. It's not. The site is over. And here's another two pieces of paperwork. There's a survey called the CS survey, the countersniper survey. That countersniper survey will point out every single elevated high point in the area that'll have been on there. And you're going to see something. I'm going to break this later on my show. I'm not trying to be cryptic or funny about it. Your show. I'm just working the angle right now and I want to be sure I'm correct. But that specific high point, there's a major, major fiasco that happened there. There was a communication lapse that is totally unforgivable. But the counter surveillance and counter sniper survey will show that that high point was a vulnerability. And then they're going to have to answer questions like when that wasn't posted, when he was on stage and allowed that person to get up there because there was no post there or nothing.

Why didn't you guys follow up? The secret service is ultimately responsible. Why didn't the site agent that they noticed that one of the posts they had wasn't there? I mean, this is an unforgivable, unfortunate series of events that basically caused this. There's no other explanation.

Glenn Beck
So I had Eli Crane on, the congressman from Arizona that was up on the roof and posted a video of it yesterday. And he was standing in the barn, if you will, right behind where the shooter was. And he's on the second floor inside air conditioning in an office, and it has a window that looks right out on that roof. If it was too hot or dangerous, why were they on the first floor, not on the second floor looking at the roof?

Dan Bongino
Glenn, again, the incompetence here. These are hard interviews for me to give because the questions you're asking, again, as a guy with no Secret Service experience at all, my wife asked me the same question. She was a database developer. They're not explainable. Other than absolute abject ignorance and stupidity.

Whoever did the advance that day, I don't know how they still have a job.

I really don't and here's another thing. That. Here's the third question. So I brought up the line of sight. I brought up the paperwork. Why was he on the x up? There's another question that needs to be asked. How did you not employ. We have an aerial surveillance branch in the secret Service. Why was the aerial surveillance. A drone, a helicopter, a flir, an infrared, you know, forward looking infrared, a thermal. Why would these. Why were these simple tools we use over and over not employed that day? You would have seen the guy on the roof the second he got up there. You know, Kim Cheadle, the failed director, said yesterday in the beginning of the hearing, if you go back and listen, we employ a 360 degree security coverage. Well, 360 is a three dimensional sphere. That means above and below. Well, where the hell was the above coverage? The live nearing. There was nothing above. There was no drone. He had a drone. The bad guy. We didn't have a drone. Glenn, go to Amazon right now. You get a drone for $40. We couldn't send a drone up in the air. There's a $6 trillion federal budget. Is this, what the hell is the federal government good for? Why was there no drone? The answer is, again, absolute stupidity. And how these people have not been fired or resigned is really deeply disturbing at this point. The government has no accountability whatsoever.

Glenn Beck
Dan, when I heard the congressman yesterday.

Dan Bongino
Hold on. I'm hearing breaking news that she may be leaving, that the director may be leaving very soon. So I'm just getting this now. So we may be breaking out. I'm here and see. I predicted last night, so we'll. We'll see what happens. Yeah. She has no political support, but the Biden Harris team doesn't want the headache. The Democrats have bailed on her. This woman needs to go. She is a disgrace. I'm getting this from a secret Service friend right now, said, ngs out. So whether he's got something we're breaking on your show or not, but this guy's been a reliable source for me.

Glenn Beck
Speaker one, tell me, when I heard the congressman yesterday say that, have you used any kind of encrypted apps to communicate with anyone? I was shocked to hear her say yes, but when?

When? I mean, I don't know if congressmen are, you know, smart enough to think this way, but I know I really try not to ask a question, especially if I'm, if I am in a situation where I'm trying to prove somebody wrong, I make sure I kind of know the answer to the question before I ask it. That way, when we come back to it later. I've got her on the record.

What the hell is on her private phone that's against the law?

Dan Bongino
Well, because we've been friends for a long time. I'm not going to spin your wheels.

There are two people on this phone call, and one of them may have contributed to the asking of that question. So you could probably figure out by the nation.

So, yeah, there are. Cheadle has no friends anymore in the secret service. They're horrified by our leadership. Let's just say a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend may have sent to a friend, exactly that question who passed to a friend of a friend of another friend and it made it into the hearing. So that's how that.

Glenn Beck
And what was, what was the friend of a friend of a friend saying that we should get that on the record for?

Dan Bongino
Because the communications may, may have involved communications with significant White House officials on messaging.

And it may have involved some. Yes. So we'll just, we'll, we'll see what comes out in the wash. Now keep.

Glenn Beck
In mind, did it, wait, did it maybe involve this, this event?

Dan Bongino
Oh, oh, yeah. That's, that's a distinct possibility. I mean, we're going to have to find out. I don't know the exact content because I don't have her phone. But her agreeing to turn over her personal phone for forensic analysis to Lauren Boebert, who asks all the right questions, by the way. They should take her up on that offer. I can almost guarantee you she's going to bail and lawyer up if she's asked to turn her personal phone over or she's probably deleting messages right now.

Glenn Beck
Unbelievable. Dan, as always, great to talk to you, and I'm so happy for your success.

Nobody deserves it more than you, Dan.

Dan Bongino
You were a good.

Glenn Beck
I love you, Dan, and a mentor.

Dan Bongino
So I love you, too, brother. Thanks, man. Thanks for having me.

Glenn Beck
Thanks. All right. You bet. Dan Bongino, host of the Dan Bongino show. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It is american financing.

Let me read a bit from a scene from chasing embers, which is out today. See if this sounds familiar at all. Topos is this company. It's kind of like Google and Microsoft all combined. And it was part of a shadow government, a deep state, and they ran the global affairs from behind the scenes. Let me read a little bit of the scene from the older generation telling one of the teenagers about how they came to power. There was a country and a corporation, then there was a war. And it's not that Topos took control.

They were given control, bit by bit, until they had all of it. Topos wanted to create a new world, but they can't create a new world with the same old man.

Man has to change, too. But men don't change. Not really. Despite our advancements, our breakthroughs, our brilliant new ideas, we still want the same things our ancestors did. We still make the same mistakes. But the leaders of Topos are arrogant. They think human beings are containers that can be filled with whatever they want to fill it. And if they just empty us out first, bit by bit, then they can make anew.

This is the dystopian world that's about 80 years ahead. Where there is no America, there is no history. It's chasing embers. You can get it now at glenn beck.com or wherever you get your books. It went on sale today.

It is for young adults, but it doesn't have to be a young adult. I think you'll enjoy it just as much as anybody else. If you don't have a teenager in your life and you're not interested in it, would you consider donating to get chasing embers into public schools? All over the country.

You can donate at m four lfoundation.org bec. Any donation made this week will go to be putting this into public schools and libraries all across the country. M four lfoundation.org bec chasing embers I think you're gonna love it. It's my latest book and my first young adult fiction. Chasing embers. Dystopian world, where you find out if the truth is worth seeking and what is its cost. It's out now. Chasing embers.

Pat. Pat.

Pat Gray
Pat.

Glenn Beck
Pat pat pat pat. Pat.

That was a little disturbing to hear from Dan Bongino. Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

You know, I like the fact that our congressmen have their ear to the ground and also will listen to people with knowledge and say, ask this question and get him on the record. If he's right and she has resigned, that should not be the end of it because something is very, very wrong here. And I'm not saying there was more than one shooter or he was involved with other people, but there's too many questions to let it die at just so it's time to face facts. If you thought maybe you could just ignore the pain and it would go away, turns out your pain is about as transitory as Joe Biden's inflation. And now you actually have to get serious about it. I might have the answer for you. It works for about 70% of the people who try it. It's called relief factor. It's a hundred percent drug free daily supplement that helps your body fight pain naturally. Now, it was developed by doctors, and it uses a unique formula of natural ingredients that addresses the inflammation in your body, which is where all the pain really starts. And it doesn't just mask your pain for a short time, it helps reduce or even eliminate it. All day, every day, wherever you're hurting, your back, your neck, your joints, your muscles, in about three weeks or less, you're going to see the difference and rediscover what it feels like to feel better. So if everyday pain is affecting your life, don't do the mind over matter thing. Go instead to relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief. 800, the number four relief. It's relieffactor.com dot check out my show.

Glenn Beck
It should have been utopia.

But instead it was madness.

It was blackout and distrust.

It was cheating and lying.

It was rioting and paranoia.

America was dead and Topo's killed it.

This is where our story begins.

On a death defying search for the truth about their past, two teenagers find themselves on the wrong side of the most powerful corporation the world has ever seen.

They have one chance to start a new life.

May cost them everything.

Chasing embers, the first young adult fiction novel from number one best selling author Glenn Beck. On sale now everywhere books are sold.

All right, we have now verified that the head of the secret service is resigning, or appears to be resigning, but that should not close this case by any stretch of the imagination.

Pat and I want to go over some of the audio from yesterday. Let's start with Comer, with Cheadle struggling to answer any of his questions. Cut. Eleven. At any point Saturday, did the secret Service have an agent on top of that roof?

Kimberly Cheatle
Sir, I'm sure, as you can imagine, that we are just nine days out from this incident and there's still an ongoing investigation. And so I want to make sure that any information that we are providing.

Glenn Beck
Okay, why did the Secret Service not. Can you answer why the Secret Service didn't place a single agent on the roof?

Kimberly Cheatle
We are still looking into the advance process and the decisions that were made.

Glenn Beck
Okay. Okay.

Wasn't that building within the perimeter that should be secured? Do we agree with that?

Kimberly Cheatle
The building was outside of the perimeter on the day of the visit. But again, that is one of the things that during the investigation, we want to take a look at and determine whether or not other decisions should have been made.

Glenn Beck
One of the things that you said, I believe in an interview, that there wasn't an agent on the roof because it was a sloped roof. Is that, is that normal? And do you fear that that immediately creates an opportunity for future would be assassins to look for a slanted roof? I mean, this is a huge question that every american has. Why wasn't a Secret Service agent on the roof? And there have been reports that agents were supposed to be on the roof, but it was hot that day and they didn't want to be on the roof. Can you answer any of those questions, director?

Kimberly Cheatle
So I appreciate you asking me that question, chairman. I should have been more clear in my answer when I spoke about where we placed personnel in that interview. What I can tell you is that there was a plan in place to provide Overwatch, and we are still looking into responsibilities. And who was going to provide Overwatch, but the Secret Service in general, not speaking specifically to this incident when we are providing Overwatch, whether that be through countersnipers or other technology, prefer to have sterile rooftops.

Glenn Beck
Did the Secret Service use any drones for surveillance that day.

Kimberly Cheatle
So again, I'm not going to get into specifics of that day. And it's.

Glenn Beck
She couldn't answer anything thing yesterday. Not. Not one thing. If you were the head of the Secret Service, it's been over a week now. You're the head of the Secret service. You walk into people's office the minute that happens and say, I want answers. Right now, who's in charge of oversight? Who's scared to be, right? Right.

Pat Gray
I mean, it takes two minutes to find that out. Come on, it doesn't take ten days to find that out.

Glenn Beck
Right? We're still looking into it, aren't we? Now, she had a problem with Jim Jordan as well. Here's cut 20 to the president, and.

Kimberly Cheatle
The vice president talked to the first lady.

No, I have not talked to the White House staff.

Glenn Beck
Anyone in the White House communications?

Kimberly Cheatle
No, I have not.

Glenn Beck
Have you talked to the counter sniper who took the shot that took out the bad guy?

Kimberly Cheatle
Yes, I have.

Glenn Beck
And can you tell us about that conversation?

Kimberly Cheatle
I would not want to reveal conversations that I've had with my employees, but.

Glenn Beck
That'S exactly the kind of information the american people want to know. American people who pay your salary.

Kimberly Cheatle
I understand this is an ongoing investigation.

Glenn Beck
And I want who's all doing the investigating at Secret Service? I know the inspector general, but is there also an internal investigation in addition to the inspector general?

Kimberly Cheatle
We are conducting a mission assurance investigation internally. Yes.

Glenn Beck
You know what it looks like, director? Looks like you won't answer some pretty basic questions. It looks like you got a 9% raise and you cut corners when it came to protecting one of the most important individuals, most well known individuals on the planet, a former president, likely. The guy is going to be the next president. Looks like you guys were cutting corners. That's what it looks like to me.

Let's go to cut 27, here's Andy Biggs. Your agency has a no fail mission. And on Saturday, July 13, your agency spectacularly failed. The failure resulted in the death of Cory comprator and serious injury to two other rally attendees, David Dutch and James Copenhaver. Besides the injuries to President Trump, it is unfathomable that a 20 year old on the radar of secret service in local law enforcement, before President Trump went on stage, was able to climb onto the roof of a building with a rifle and fire off multiple rounds before he was neutralized, was Mister Crooks acting alone.

Kimberly Cheatle
Again? I would have to refer you to the FBI's investigation.

Glenn Beck
Was he just a lone gunman?

Kimberly Cheatle
I would have to refer you to the FBI's investigation for motive.

Glenn Beck
It's not motive that's asking.

She revealed something there on motive, don't you think?

Was he acting alone? You'll have to talk to them about the motive. Well, wait, that. Yeah, that's a different.

Pat Gray
That doesn't seem to go to motive, so that's interesting.

Glenn Beck
No, yeah, AOC. I mean, the. The left was tearing her apart as well. Here's AOC cut seven.

Kimberly Cheatle
So the notion of a report coming out in 60 days when the threat environment is so high in the United States, irrespective of party, is not acceptable. And I think it's very important to understand that this is not theater. This is not about jockeying. This is about the safety of some of the most highly targeted and valued targets internationally and domestically in the United States of America. So the idea that a report will be finalized in 60 days, let alone prior to any actionable decisions that would be made, is simply not acceptable. It has been ten days since an assassination attempt on a former president of the United States, regardless of party.

There need to be answers.

Pat Gray
Wow.

Glenn Beck
Felt a little lower, say, oh, by far.

Pat Gray
By far. Felt a little bipartisan there yesterday, didn't it?

Glenn Beck
It did. Well, because as we have been saying on this program forever, the president of the United States, the current one, if he's not dead already, you know he's in danger. Kamala Harris is in danger. RFK is in danger. We cannot have a slew of assassination attempts.

God forbid one of them die. It'll tear this country apart.

Here's another Democrat. This is Moskowitz from Florida. Democrat Techeetle. Cut ten. Director, I just want to give you an honest assessment of how this is going for you today. Did you happen to catch the hearing many months ago in education where there were a bunch of university presidents and Elise Stefanik asked a very easy question and couldn't get an answer? Did you see that hearing?

Kimberly Cheatle
No, I don't think I did.

Glenn Beck
Okay, well, let me tell you, it didn't go well.

And the short end of that story was those university professors all resigned. They're gone. That's how this is going for you.

This is where this is headed. Okay?

This is.

I don't know who prepared you for this.

I don't know how many times you've testified in front of Congress, but a president was almost assassinated live on television, not just for Americans, but for the world to see. And this being your first opportunity, I understand there's an ongoing investigation. I understand there's things that you can not talk about, but the idea that we're getting less than you did on television is something that Democrats, independents and Republicans are going to find unacceptable.

Now, there was Nancy Mace, who was a little more plain spoken. Cut twelve.

Kimberly Cheatle
Was this a colossal failure?

It was a failure. Yes or no? Was it a colossal failure, is the question, yes or no? I have admitted this is a terrible. This is a yes or no series of questions. Was this a colossal failure, yes or no? Yes. Have you provided a list to the oversight committee, yes or no? We'll have to get back to you on that. That is a no. Have you provided all audio and video recordings in your possession to this committee as we asked on July 15? Yes or no? I would have to get back to you. That is a no. You're full of today. You're just being completely dishonest.

Glenn Beck
Love that.

And then we have from Representative Fallon, who said this to Cheadle. Cut 13. Speaker one, you know what else is dangerous? I believe your horrifying ineptitude and your lack of skilled leadership is a disgrace. Your obfuscating today is shameful. And you should be fired immediately and go back to guarding Doritos.

Pat Gray
She used to work security at Pepsi. That's why she was guarding Doritos.

That's great.

Glenn Beck
I found that amazing when I first. When the assassination first happened. Her up. And I'm like, where did she come from? And I saw that she was head of security for Pepsi. And I'm like, you? You gotta be kidding me.

You're now the head of the secret service?

Pat Gray
Well, how many doritos do you know were killed during her watch?

Glenn Beck
None.

Pat Gray
None.

Glenn Beck
None.

Pat Gray
Not a single Dorito was murdered while she was there.

Glenn Beck
And especially all those coke lovers out there that just wanna, you know, knockoff cans of Pepsi.

She had her job cut out for. I mean, she really had her work cut out for her. It was very difficult. Oh, my gosh.

Now, here's what I'm afraid of. That this is going to stop this investigation because it can't. It cannot stop this investigation. She has, she. We have to know what her devices.

What's on her devices.

Why was she using signal when talking to the White House from her own personal phone? That's against the law.

Did the White House know that that was happening? What were they talking about?

That's really important to find out.

And I think everybody on that, that secret service detail should be brought in front of Congress and have to answer themselves. You know, it's one thing to be told. Shut up. Sit down. Shut up. Don't say anything. It's another when you're going to be blamed for it on national television.

So are you telling me when you went and you surveyed the site, that didn't occur to you that that was a big problem, that you should have somebody secure that? Is that what you wrote down in your report?

Well, that. But the cush should be fired right now.

Pat Gray
They couldn't, Glenn, because there was a slope. It was hot. And the sun. We're. This is just breaking. The sun was in their eyes.

Glenn Beck
What kind of pussy willows do we have on the. I mean, that's what we should call the secret Service presidential detail, the pussy willows. We're just. We're out here. It's hot. I don't know.

Pat Gray
I don't want to get on a sloped roof that's. There's a 3% grade there. I'm not gunning out there.

I mean, come on.

Glenn Beck
Unbelievable.

Pat Gray
You didn't exactly have to be a mountain goat to navigate that room.

Glenn Beck
No, you really didn't.

Pat Gray
You really didn't, man.

Glenn Beck
I mean, it is. It. It is there just. You would question. I question the manhood of every single person that was on the secret service detail or on the local detail if they were like.

Pat Gray
It's hot, right?

Glenn Beck
It's very hot. Who do we have? Dylan Mulvaney out. You know, Dylan, you watch the roof. Okay? But girl power.

I'm not gonna walk on that roof. It's hot and sloped and I'm in my heels today.

Pat Gray
I'm in my heels.

I'm not doing it. All right.

No, you're right.

Glenn Beck
All right. There are no disposable human beings. None. It sounds like an obvious thing to say, but when you consider that we've disposed of 65 million human beings in this country since the beginning of roe versus Wade, many of them in the worst way possible, you're led to the escapable conclusion that, yeah, many Americans do believe that some humans are disposable. Preborn is the largest pro life organization in the country, and they're leading the charge to put an end to the atrocity of abortion. And every day they sponsor free ultrasounds for women, as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born. When a mom sees her unborn child on that monitor, when she hears that heartbeat, she's twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby. If you have the means. Would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way? Your tax deductible donation of $5,000 will sponsor Preborn's entire net for 24 hours, helping to rescue 200 babies. To donate, dial 250. Say the key word baby. That's 250. Keyword baby. Or donate securely@preborn.com. beck. That's preborn.com beck. Sponsored by Preborn.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. I sincerely want to know what kind of people we are recruiting for the secret service. Let me give you this. A whistleblower allegedenhe at least one individual that was specifically assigned to the roof for the duration of the rally. This person abandoned his or her post due to the hot weather.

Wow. The whistleblower further alleges concerns over the heat prompted law enforcement to forego patrolling building six and instead to stations station security personnel inside the building where you can't see anything.

I want to know what kind of wuss we are hiring and what kind of pussy willow we have at the top of the command of local law enforcement or whoever. That name should be known and that person should never have a job in law enforcement. You were hired to protect the president of the United States. Oh, did it get a little warm for you up on the roof? I'm sorry.

Gosh darn it.

Who abandons their post?

Who?

Pat Gray
Hard to believe. I mean, either what you're saying is absolutely true and we need, we need to know that person and shame that person and they need to be, you know, finding other work or something more sinister happened.

There's really no other alternative, is there?

Glenn Beck
No, no. They're either, they're either so twisted in their mind that their uncomfortability due to the heat takes priority over their assigned duty or there's something else going on. I mean, it is, I mean, you want to talk about losing America? It's hot. I don't think I could cross that mountaintop. It's really hot. Going to be snowy up there. Too hot and snowy.

Let me tell you about my patriot supply.

You ever feel like the. Oh, no. It's american giant. Oh, yeah. Okay, american giant. I'm going to tell you about my patriot supply in a minute. American giant is a company that is remembers that we were the envy of the world as far as manufacturing. If it was made in America, it was the, the quality that the world trusted.

Most of that is gone now. But eleven years ago, american giants set out to change that and bring quality production back here to America, making quality american clothing with american cotton, american workers that buy the cotton from american farmers and fields. When you buy american, you create jobs and you create sewers and cutters and factory workers in towns and cities all across America. Jobs that bring pride, purpose and stitch people together. No pun intended. It's american giant as we celebrate our independence.

Get your American made t shirt. I just wore it the other day. American made t shirt. That's what it says on the front by american dash giant.com. go there now. American dash giant.com. glenn if you use my name, you'll get 20% off your first order. American. American dash giant.com glenous we gotta get.

Dan Bongino
Together.

Glenn Beck
If we go to survive.

Stand up straight.

It's a new day. I turn around.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America. What another day in paradise, huh? We've got a lot to cover.

We begin with what's happening with the president of the United States.

Why is he delegating his powers as presidency as a president?

Never seen this done before. He just did this yesterday.

He's also kind of invisible right now. Where is he? What's going on? We'll talk about that coming up in just a second. 1st let me tell you about my patriot supply. The other day I was looking at our storage for our food storage and everything else. And I'm like, where are our little sippy straws?

Where the ones that I could put it in pond scum and get water from it.

Searched the whole house, finally found it in the garage and I'm like, yeah, well, what would have happened if we needed that sippy straw right away?

Oh, man, families.

Families are so hard to corral and get them to organize those sippy straws. There's so much that you need to have in case things would go, you know, to hell in a handbasket. And what leads you to believe that the world might be looking at some sort of instability?

You know, I mean, that's crazy. Anyway, if you need anything, from water filtration systems to, you know, fire starters to your food, basic survival food, you can get $200 off their best selling three month emergency food kit. It's 2000 calories every day, sealed inside practically unpierceable packaging. It lasts up to 25 years and it's really, really good. Save $200. Best selling three month emergency kit. You get that for each member of your family. You're good for three months. Free shipping is included@mypatriotsupply.com. that's mypatriotsupply.com.

all righty. So let me just, let me just give you a story here. This is from the Wall Street Journal. Yesterday. Okay, how the bet on an 81 year old Joe Biden turned into an epic miscalculation is from the Wall Street Journal.

It was the first time I remember people pretty jarred by what they had seen, recalled Representative Dean Phillips from Minnesota, a Democrat who went on to mount an unsuccessful primary challenge against the president.

That was in October 2021.

That was the month. That was the last time Biden met with the House democratic caucus on the hill regarding any legislation.

Nearly three years later, concerns about the 81 year old president's age and mental acuity have put in a abrupt cap on his half century political career.

They had grown from a murmur among allies who said they believed or hoped they were catching the president on a bad day to a deafening roar as many of those same allies called on him to step aside in the wake of his disastrous June 27 debate performance.

On Sunday, Biden announced he was withdrawing from the presidential race, an unparalleled, unparalleled step that leaves Democrats without a nominee. Less than four months before election day, Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place. But it remains to be seen if the voters will rally behind her. How the Democratic Party came to the brink of nominating a candidate candidate with an obvious flaw is a story of allies eager to look the other way, Biden advisors who work to stamp out doubts about his vigor, and a party apparatus that boxed out all alternative candidates candidates. The result is an epic, years long miscalculation that has Democrats racing to mount an uncertain reboot of their campaign against Donald Trump.

Now, this happened in 2021 that he was so bad that lawmakers on the Hill, Democrats said, what the hell? What? What is that? That was three years ago.

Three years ago.

Pat, who was the guy that was up in France for the D Day memorial service, he was a long term advisor, right?

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
Mentor.

Pat Gray
Yeah. He considered Biden a friend, a mentor and a mentor. Yeah. And he helped him with his campaign. He's known him since 2014. They've been friends all this time.

Biden helped him along, actually campaigned for him. And at the D day celebration this summer, he said Biden didn't even know who he was.

And so he thought, well, okay, you know, it's a senior moment that happens to old people.

No, not if they're president of the United States. At least it shouldn't. And if it does, you might want to say something.

Not wait till after the disastrous debate performance and then say, oh, yeah, yeah, I saw that a while ago. So, yeah, to me.

Glenn Beck
And that's what it was.

Pat Gray
On treason I mean, it does gotta say something.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. You are to protect and defend the constitution of the United States. Yeah. You don't have a constitution of the United States. If your president is senile and you don't do anything about it, he is the commander in chief.

And I can't believe these people are.

That half the country is still okay with being lied to for this long, and everyone who ever said anything about it was smeared and destroyed. You're a conspiracy. I mean, up to two weeks before the debate, they were still smearing people for saying that he was not all there.

The guy has. Clearly, he has Parkinson's.

He clearly. I mean, I was with a bunch of doctors because I'm kidney stones anyway, so I'm with a bunch of doctors, and, you know, we're. We're talking. And I said, okay, guys, if this guy walked into your clinic or your hospital, what would you say? And all of them at the same time said, parkinson's.

Pat Gray
And I said, wow, what?

Glenn Beck
Did you guys rehearse that? And they're like, no, he has every sign of Parkinson's. And they went through them, and I was like, that. That's. I mean, he's exhibiting classic Parkinson's disease.

Pat Gray
Right. I didn't realize until recently that. That the. The mental. The cognition was part of that. That was part of Parkinson's. Did you? I didn't know that until recently.

So apparently that. That is one of the. One of the signs. So scary.

Glenn Beck
So now he is.

Now he hasn't been seen since Vegas. And I didn't put any thought into this at all until I've now heard reports that people who were there at the hospital facility that he was brought to for Covid said that it was a medical incident that they. He had. It wasn't Covid. It was something else. They didn't say what it was, but they said it was a significant event.

Pat Gray
Yeah. They. They even called it a medical emergency.

Yeah.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat Gray
We need to know. We need to.

Glenn Beck
Because we have to know.

Pat Gray
He's. He's intending to serve out his terminal, and I don't think he's capable.

Glenn Beck
No, he cannot serve out his term. Listen to what he did yesterday.

And I. When I say, look. Look what he did. I put that in air quotes memorandum for the secretary of state and the secretary of treasury. Subject delegation of certain functions and authorities under the rebuilding Economic Prosperity and opportunity for Ukrainians act. By the authority vested in me as president by the Constitution and the law of the United States of America, including section 301, title three, United States Code, I hereby order as follows. Section one a. I hereby delegate to the Secretary of the treasury the functions and authorities vested in the President of the United States by section 104 a, one and 104 for a, two a of the rebuilding economic prosperity and opportunity for Ukrainians act, division f of Public Law. Blah, blah, blah. B. I hereby delegate to the Secretary of state, in consultation with the Secretary of treasury, the functions and authorities vested in the president by sections 104 g, 104 I, 105, c, 105 e, 105 g of the act. The delegations in this memorandum shall apply to any provisions of any future public laws that are the same or substantially the same as those provisions referenced in this memorandum. The secretary of treasury is authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal register. Joseph Biden Junior.

So he's giving the power for this particular thing, the power of the presidency, to the secretary of the treasury and the secretary of state.

Have you ever heard that being done before, Pat? Ever?

Pat Gray
No. No. If it's happened before, I've never heard of it.

I can't imagine why you would do that.

Glenn Beck
Why?

Pat Gray
Unless you're incapacitated and you want to make sure that money keeps flowing to Ukraine and you can't do that, you're incapable.

So you delegate that authority.

Glenn Beck
Speaker one. But you would be incapable. If you were incapable, you would be so incapable, you wouldn't come up with this. You wouldn't go, you know what?

If I remember section 301 of title.

Pat Gray
Three, I can delegate.

Glenn Beck
You wouldn't do that. Somebody is doing this. Doctor Jill, who is running our country.

Pat Gray
Doctor Jill? Barack Obama.

Glenn Beck
It's Barack Obama.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
It is not Jill anymore.

Pat Gray
No.

Glenn Beck
It's Barack Obama.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Yep.

Glenn Beck
You know, do we have the audio of him calling in to support Kamala yesterday? Do we have this audio?

Pat Gray
Yeah, we do have that.

Yeah, we think it's cut 15 from, from, from my, the earlier one.

Glenn Beck
Yes. Okay. Biden calls in former campaign headquarters prior to Kamala. Here it is, cut 15.

Pat Gray
Now. We're working on it now.

Glenn Beck
You know, the name has changed at.

Dan Bongino
The top of the ticket, but the.

Glenn Beck
Mission hasn't changed at all. And by the way, I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to be out there in.

Dan Bongino
The campaign with her, with Kamala.

Glenn Beck
I'm going to be working like hell, both as a sitting president, getting legislation passed as well as in campaigning. You know what? We still need to save this democracy. And Trump is still a danger to the community. He's a danger to the nation. And just ask my foreign policy colleagues, my counterparts and other people around the.

Dan Bongino
World and at home.

Glenn Beck
Look. So I'm hoping you'll give every bit of your heart and soul that you gave to me to Kamala.

Pat Gray
Do you notice the thing that's going on with his teeth?

There's sort of a slurring of his. Yes, she's going on there. You doesn't usually have, I I don't know. There's people who suspect that might be AI.

I don't know. We haven't seen the guy in five days.

Glenn Beck
I know, but, I mean, it's, it did sound like him, but, I mean, you could pull this off in today's world. Oh, he's pull this off.

Pat Gray
Sure you could.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Yeah.

Pat Gray
Without much.

Glenn Beck
We play cut 16 and 17, please. Here's Kamala asking Joe Biden if he, if he's watching still cut 16. Joe, are you watching? Do you hear this clapping? Can you see it?

Pat Gray
I'm watching.

Glenn Beck
I'm watching. I know it.

Pat Gray
Okay.

Glenn Beck
That was just fun. Okay, cut 17.

It is so good to hear our president's voice. Joe, I know you're still on the call, and we've been talking every day. You probably, you guys heard it from Doug's voice. We love Joe and Jill. We really do. They truly are like family to us, and we do.

Anna Paulina Luna
Everybody here does.

Glenn Beck
It's mutual.

I don't, I knew you were still there. You're not going anywhere, Joe.

Pat Gray
Oh, I'm watching it, kids.

Glenn Beck
I'm watching it, kids.

Eli Crane
I love you.

Glenn Beck
I love you, Joe. Oh, wow.

Pat Gray
That was a moment. Wasn't that a sweet moment? Oh, boy. Yeah, it was.

Glenn Beck
You still hear the clapping? Clapping. Do you hear the clapping, Joe?

Pat Gray
Like, he's four.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Clapping.

I mean, wow.

Pat Gray
Amazing. Amazing. It's a lot like after the debate when Doctor Jill was treating him the same way. You answered every question. That was so good. That was really good. Good for you.

Who can talk? You can.

Who can answer questions? You do.

Glenn Beck
Who can translate speech. Incoming and outgoing?

Pat Gray
You can sometimes.

Good job. Here's a biscuit.

Glenn Beck
It was embarrassing.

Pat Gray
It's embarrassing. It's a leader of the free world. It's embarrassing and much worse. It's detrimental to the country.

Glenn Beck
Let me just ask this of every American right now. Every American, do you believe that our country is safe right now? Do you believe that there is no one in Russia, no one in China, Turkey, Iran, North Korea, that they are not right now going, look at this country. It is takeable right now. We could destroy it right now. Yep. Who's in charge? Who's in charge?

I mean, they can't keep the secret service to protect Donald Trump.

They can't. They, they. You have no idea who's even running the country if you ask that. I mean, we just.

Pat Gray
Of democrats, don't you think? The answer is no. I'm not comfortable with it. I think rank and file democrats are worried about this, too. They have to be.

Glenn Beck
I agree.

And they need to exercise the 24th amendment. It just. We. This guy has got to go from the button. He has to go.

All right, more in just a second.

Would you be willing to pay more money for lower quality cell phone services if it meant that you weren't sending money to an abortion clinic? Okay, well, I would, I would. And that would be saying something. You know, put your money where your mouth is. But what if you didn't have to pay more? In fact, you'd be paying less. And what, instead of lower quality service, you could get the same service or better customer service.

The cells, the cell towers, everybody's on the same cell towers. And they will. They will give you the same coverage as one of the big three at Patriot mobile. But you're going to get better customer service, a lower price, the same coverage that you have wherever you're switching from.

And you can upgrade your phone or keep your phone, keep your number, whatever you want to do.

Anna Paulina Luna
It should have been utopia.

Glenn Beck
But instead it was madness.

It was blackout and distrust.

It was cheating and lying.

It was rioting and paranoia.

Anna Paulina Luna
America was dead.

Glenn Beck
And Topo said killed it.

This is where our story begins.

On a death defying search for the truth about their past, two teenagers find themselves on the wrong side of the most powerful corporation the world has ever seen.

They have one chance to start a new life, but it may cost them everything.

Chasing embers, the first young adult fiction novel from number one best selling author Glenn Beck. On sale now everywhere books are sold.

So listen to this, Pat. This is from.

This is from chasing embers.

The ribbon coming, the ribbon cutting for Astra Avenue Park. Henry even got his picture taken with him. But since the administrator hadn't visited for over a year, Oasis was on the fritz. That's the utopian town. Uh, I said, I want to meet the administrator. This seemed to get Cade's attention. He gave me a smug smile. I cocked an eyebrow. What?

Yeah. Tell me when that happens.

Then, a couple of pages later, the administrator's voice rang out from over the grounds, and everyone instinctively looked to the 8th floor. My special guests. Welcome to Oasis. First, I must apologize. I'm unable to accompany you today on your journey through the city of the future.

The envoys let out a collective groan of disappointment. But I will believe. I believe you will find, even in my absence, that I'm accompanying you everywhere you go.

Why hasn't the administrator been seen?

Who's actually running all of this?

Pat Gray
I mean, delegated all his power to somebody else?

Glenn Beck
Yeah, he did.

It's weird.

What a coincidence. That's in. That's in the new book, a dystopian thriller called Chasing Embers.

Make sure you grab it wherever books are found. It is my first young adult book, and it is available today.

Pat Gray
And if it sells more copies than any other book in the country that's coming out this week, it'll be, what, 15th? 16th on the New York Times bestseller list? Yes, 18th.

So that'll be fun.

Glenn Beck
You don't really care about the bestsellers list anymore because it's not going to make them. It's weird. It's almost like that's rigged.

But anyway, get it wherever you find books, it's chasing embers out today. Order it now.

So, you know, I.

First of all, let me correct something I said. I said the 24th amendment. I meant the 25th amendment.

Pat Gray
You weren't talking about poll taxes.

Glenn Beck
I don't.

Pat Gray
I thought you were talking about the poll tax.

Glenn Beck
Is that what the 24th amendment is?

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Just tax dead people. Anyway, the 25th amendment, you know, I don't know what is wrong with democratic voters, and I think maybe it's just because they.

They've learned to behave. They've learned to take from the man. They've learned to just shut up and don't ask any questions. That's the only thing I can think of. Because democrats that I know are just as concerned about, actually more concerned about him running the country than him running as one shows a clear and present danger today.

All right. It is so important, and to your future and the future of your family, that you take charge of what your money is doing. The guiding principles and values that this country was built on are endangered right now. And until we can rebuild our fundamental institutions, nothing, and especially the american economy, is a safe bet.

That's why I recommend that you protect your hard earned savings with an asset that you can trust, and that asset is gold. And silver. I made my first gold purchase back in 2002 with a company that Rush Limbaugh was talking about, Lear capital.

Today. My original sales representative is still there, and that investment I made 22 years ago has quadrupled or more. Lear helped me prepare for the coming insanity, and they can help you do the same thing. Don't wait around for things to get worse. Do what's right for your money. Today, with over $3 billion in trusted transactions and thousands of five star reviews, Lear capital is the place to call get your protecting your wealth guide, free wealth protection guide. And you can call them right now at 809. Five seven gold. 800 957 gold.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad that you tuned in today. Thank you so much for listening, Pat. You know, you played something that I saw last week, but I think it's worth replaying. You played something on your podcast today from last week. Joe Biden trying to get into the suv.

Pat Gray
Oh, yeah, he's so spry. You know this. He's agile. He's spry. It's like an 18 year old.

It's reminiscent of. Of 18 year olds, you know, who just have unlimited energy and agility.

Watch him.

Glenn Beck
It is so sad.

Pat Gray
Watch this. Yeah. And aggravating because he should have been gone a long time ago, but he comes down the stairs and then struggles to get into the suv. And it takes, I don't know, 1520 minutes, it seems like.

Here he comes.

And you hear this noise the whole time.

Glenn Beck
Now, this is at the. When he said the throes of COVID Right, right.

Pat Gray
That's what he has, Covid. And look it, he's trying to pull himself in.

Can't.

Can't step into the suv.

Well, that's on somebody give him a push. Give him a push.

It's a normal suv.

It's, uh. Okay, okay. All right, all right. He's in. The eagle has landed. He's in the seat.

Close the door.

I mean, that's a real production, isn't it?

That should not be your president right there.

That screams to the rest of the world, we got nobody in charge over here.

Glenn Beck
So nobody in charge. We're at nobody now. So, you know, the White House has come out today and said that Joe Biden has almost completely recovered from Covid-19 okay, good.

That's good. He's almost resolved it completely.

Pat Gray
Does that mean we're going to see him today? He's going to pop his head out today.

Glenn Beck
If he comes out today and he. And we see him, there's six more weeks of winter.

Pat Gray
In July.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Wow. In July. It's just. I hope we don't have the president come out on ground Alex day today. Anyway, he's at Rehoboth beach in Delaware.

He's been out of the public eye now for five straight days. His. His symptoms have almost resolved completely.

According to the White House doctor, his pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature remain absolutely normal. His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air.

Pat Gray
Okay.

Glenn Beck
His lungs remain clear.

And the White House will keep us updated on any other. Any other changes. But they say he's just taken his 10th dose of paxiloid or paxil valid or whatever that is.

Pat Gray
Paxil. Ovid.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Paxlovid. 10th dosed of it. And it's just. In five days. That's twice a day. And that's. And he's.

Pat Gray
Knocks it right off. He's fine. He's fine.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat Gray
Is this the same doctor he also. That has told us all along that there's nothing wrong with him, that he's. He's spry and agile and has the body of a 20 year old.

Glenn Beck
Yes.

Pat Gray
Same guy.

Glenn Beck
Yes.

Pat Gray
All right, well, good. I feel good about it then.

Glenn Beck
Same guy. And it's my understanding that he does today have a little bit of blood in his vaccine stream, and so he should be over this Covid-19 thing like that lickety split.

Yeah.

She's an amazing thing. And I mean, it is. It's.

Pat Gray
It's frightening, you know, when you have to turn to. And you actually did share a story from. Was it the Wall Street Journal that talked about.

Glenn Beck
Yes.

Pat Gray
People who have known about how he's slipping.

Yesterday, the Telegraph, which is a british tabloid, had a headline that I thought was pretty telling because, I mean. I mean, you don't see these kinds of headlines even now, really, in America. But it said, America is now paying the price for the monstrous Biden lie.

Now, what was the lie?

The lie was that he was fine in 2020, even back then. The Telegraph writes, there were many concerns about the Democrat nominee's age and health. But the Democrat party, with the active connivance of sections of the us media, worked overtime to cast any such concerns as nothing more than republican slurs.

And Mister Biden won the election. Yeah, they lied to us back then. We talked about it back then a lot. That the guy was obviously declining and was obviously not capable of being president of the United States.

And as they said, because of a complicit media, they were able to pull this off for four years. Now almost.

Glenn Beck
It is. It is remarkable that all of those people aren't being called in front of Congress today.

Pat Gray
It is.

Glenn Beck
What did you know? When did you know it? Yep. That is doctors, the ones that are working for the White House and for the government, that you're not called on the carpet Today.

How's that possible that not every member of his cabinet is not called to sit in a long line at a table in front of Congress and said, and say to them, when was your first experience with him losing his marbles? When did that happen for you?

You know, this, this is, this is a monstrous scandal, and it has happened before with Edith Wilson, Woodrow Wilson's wife, life. He had a stroke. He was out of it. She was signing all the bills. She would sit in the meetings and then she'd say, you know what? I'm going to go get that answer from, from Woody and I'll be right back. And she'd go upstairs and she would scribble some stuff down on a paper.

It was clearly her handwriting, but she'd scribble it and then she'd put the pen in his hand. And then I sign it like that. Made it any better. Sign it, you know, WW. And she got away with it for like a year.

And finally the Democrats came to her and said, this got to stop. We demand to see the president right now. And a full accounting. She had signed him up to run again. It's the Jill Biden story. He was going to run a second term, but he wasn't even, there would.

Pat Gray
Have actually been a third term speaker.

Eli Crane
One.

Glenn Beck
He got away with it a year. For a year. She's gotten away with it now for three years.

Pat Gray
Yeah. Yeah.

And it's hard to believe that in this day and age especially, it would have been a lot easier in 1918 1919 than it would be today because you. We've got so much access to him. We, we see him everywhere he goes, news. And yet they've been, they've been able to pull it off because of the complicit media, in part.

And will the american people ever decide that they've had enough of this and demand answers? Because I don't think they will. That's the problem. We never do demand answers and that somebody be held accountable because that's the.

Glenn Beck
Only way we demand them.

We demand them with the follow up comment, but, you know, nothing's gonna happen.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
And if that's the way it is, I mean, if you are talking to your kids about, you know, the responsibility of, you know, not getting a girl pregnant or not getting pregnant, if you're a girl and you're like, but you know what? You're gonna do it anyway. So here's some condoms. That's exactly the behavior you're gonna get, okay?

You have to demand it and expect it. And then if it doesn't happen, not in the case with, you know, you got to love your kids. But in the case of. Of somebody working for you. And that's what these employees are. They're employees. The president is an employee.

And when they lie to you, you have to say, I demand some answers. Well, I can't because it's confidential. No, I want the answers, and I want them now. And if you won't give them to me, then you're in contempt of Congress and you will go to jail, period.

This is far too important, this elaborate cover up. You're telling me nobody had any idea, really? Of course nobody had any idea. Of course they did. Of course they did. By the way, I thought Jim King said. John King said something important on CNN last night. They were talking about. About, you know, who the. Who Kamala could get as her running mate. And he said, I don't know. They were talking about Governor Josh Shapiro, and I don't know. I mean, it could be some real trouble. I mean, he is jewish. Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Pat Gray
What?

Glenn Beck
Oh, my God.

Pat Gray
Wait, what are we, 1940s Germany?

Yeah.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, but he's right.

With the extreme left, they would set. They would set the whole thing on fire.

He's a jew. No way.

By the way, now Governor Whitmer says, I don't have any interest in a VP position. I'm not leaving Michigan. I've got work to do. Yeah. You don't want to be on the ticket with a loser.

Pat Gray
Right. And she wants to be the lead candidate.

Glenn Beck
Exactly right. Exactly right. Nobody wants to. She's going to have a hard time finding a vp who wants to be on that ticket, because it's.

It's most likely, you know, a losing ticket. And by the way, Barack Obama is still not talking about Kamala Harris.

Pat Gray
It's amazing.

Glenn Beck
Still not endorsing her. I mean, that's incredible.

Pat Gray
His silence screams at the top of his lungs, doesn't it, that he. She is not the person for him. She. She doesn't want any part of her.

So I, you know, I don't know who she's going to select for her vice president running mate. That helps her at all.

Most of the talk seems to center around Andy Bashir, the governor of Kentucky.

And I think, you know, he might be likely, because I don't think he has presidential aspirations right now. He wouldn't get anywhere if he did. Did. Um, but the other one that I'm hearing quite a bit about is Pete Buttigieg. Wouldn't that be a great, uh, identity politics?

Would that be great? My lord, look at the job he's done in transportation. He's been on fire with that.

Glenn Beck
So what a work, though, don't they?

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
The two of them are perfect.

Pat Gray
Yes.

And you've got a black asian woman with a gay mande. Wow. That's a, that is a dream come true for democrats.

If they could get it. Like a transvestite for secretary of agriculture in a wheelchair.

Glenn Beck
In a wheelchair.

Pat Gray
In a wheelchair. In a wheelchair who's also blind.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. With one eye. Yes. Yeah.

Then they'll pull that off. Then it'd be something to really, the world would marvel.

And actually, I think, I think they would actually marvel at that.

The previous content identified as a rant. You're welcome, or we're sorry, the Glenn Beck program.

We'll be right back.

Pat Gray
Glenn Beck program.

Glenn Beck
Welcome.

Pat Gray
What amazing times we live in. Hopefully you're sharing what's going on with your kids and helping them understand that we're in these historic times because this is going to be talked about for a long time. These are things that just haven't happened before.

CB's news was quoting Joe Biden's brother Frank about his recent problems. And here's what they had to say. Cut 31.

Kimberly Cheatle
CB's news had a brief conversation with Frank Biden, one of President Biden's two younger brothers. And here's what he told us. He said, I'm incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly, I will him back to enjoy whatever time we have left.

Pat Gray
Huh. That's an interesting statement.

Surely it'll be great to have him back to enjoy whatever time he has left.

Is that just, is that somebody in the know who knows more than we do about his current situation?

Glenn Beck
Wow.

Pat Gray
That is interesting to say the least.

And nobody's really followed up on it as far as I could see. Also, we'll be having a vice presidential debate probably before the next presidential debate.

And who is that going to involve? Obviously, JD Vance.

But who's going to be the person who debates JD Vance? That has to be decided now. And there don't seem to be really good alternatives because the Democrat bench is so atrocious. But Al Sharpton says that, that Donald Trump is afraid to debate. Word salad queen Kamala Harris. Here's what he had to say.

Glenn Beck
I mean, if he does not try to get out of the debates and you know, Joe, I mean, Donald Trump and I both come from New York and Brooklyn. We call him a punk in the streets. I don't think he wants to debate Kamala Harris. Do you think he'll be afraid to debate? Oh, he's a political Kamala Harris. There's no doubt about it, really. And I think that if his friend was promoting about Don King, it would be the prosecutor versus the felon. That's how you would promote it.

Pat Gray
Okay. Yeah, I, I mean, if there's one person that Donald Trump isn't afraid of, I'm pretty sure it's Kamala Harris.

He would mop the floor, metaphorically speaking, of course he would mop the floor with her.

All right. 88727 Beck. Use that number tomorrow when Glenn returns and we'll see you then.
