Hello, Stew.

Hi, Glenn. How are you? That's how we're starting the show today.

Okay. Yeah, we're gonna talk like cartoon people. Cause I think everything that's happening in the world is a giant cartoon.

Stu
So that is where we are. I think, at this point, none of it seems real.

Glenn Beck
It is. It's the only way you can look at it. No, none of it seems real. And. And you're standing off to the side.

It's. What was that science fiction or science fiction movie 2000 or something?

Stu
Remember when the guy sitting in front of the screen, 2000? Yeah.

Glenn Beck
Yes, yes, yes. I feel like those guys sitting in front of the screen just watching the world unfold every day and go, this isn't gonna work out.

Stu
Well.

Glenn Beck
It's just. It's not what's happening and the fact that no one can connect the dots. Now, I've always been a dot connector. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong. But I always look at things, and I can take things, different ideas and different things that don't seem to be connected, but I can see them connected, and then I can find the connection to prove it to you many times. Uh, I.

And that is a skill, I guess, or a curse, but it appears to me no one has that skill.

Or maybe it's that. That everybody's like, I don't want to look at that.

I don't look at that. Why would I look at that?

The Venezuela story.

I don't know. Are there a couple of dots we can connect here?

Is there anything there that we can look at and go, I wonder what we're doing here?

They started, it was a rich country.

It was a country where they weren't eating the zoo animals. Oh. Just a few years ago, it was the third richest country in the western hemisphere. Has oils and resources like nobody's business. Sound familiar?

Okay, let's just keep that one over there. Rich country. All kinds of resources could make it on their own if they just wouldn't go corrupt and go to socialism.

But what do they do? They go corrupt and immediately go to socialism. How do they go to socialism? They begin to talk down democracy. They begin to say, this republic, this constitution, isn't right.

And so Hugo Chavez, he is. He is thrown in jail by the president of Venezuela, and nobody thinks that's right. And he's like, I gotta get out of here. And he gets out of jail and he runs again. And this time he wins.

Why? Because generally, the people don't like it when you put their candidate in jail.

They don't think that's fair.

Is there another dot we could connect?

So then when he gets in, the first thing he does is he changes the makeup of the Supreme Court.

Wait a minute, I'm seeing another dot on the horizon.

Then what does he do? Well, then he starts talking about how we've just got to nationalize healthcare because healthcare costs are out of.

Out of sight. It's crazy. We can't get anybody to have health care, so we've got to nationalize it. And it's going to save you, like $2,000 per family every single year. And what does it do? It jacks the price of healthcare through the roof. And then the healthcare system collapses and nobody can get anything.

Is there another dot we see?

Then they start jacking with the oil because, well, these big oil companies, they're just evil, you know?

And there was corruption.

Why was there corruption? Because the government got involved with a private company.

And when the government gets involved, then there's all kinds of things that are going on behind the scenes that nobody knows. And everybody starts enriching themselves at the upper level, but not anywhere down below is there another dot we could connect?

So then they hire a man of the people.

They hire a guy that, you know. You know what? You know what we need? Chavez is dead now, gosh darn it. Miss him.

But let's keep going down this road.

So they hire an expert, a guy who was a bus driver.

He was a bus driver.

He had no money, you know, much like the Obamas when he went into office, I'm sure he had student loans. He couldn't afford his mortgage. He was an average, everyday guy, struggling like you. And lo and behold, he's the president. And all of a sudden, he and his children are the wealthiest in Venezuela.

How did that happen? As a public service, Barra? I mean, Maduro, how does that happen?

How come everybody in government who claims, I'm just trying to serve the people become incredibly rich and powerful?

Stu
How's that?

Glenn Beck
How does that work exactly? I'm trying to figure that out.

Did they all win lotteries or is there something else going on now? They had problems with their voting machines. They just held an election and everybody was talking about the voting machines. Voting machines. This is, this is bad. This is not good. The voting machines. Voting machines, all kinds of corruption.

No, no, no, no. Corruption. No corruption. Corruption. It's going to be bad.

Maduro's, the guy he's running against was like 30 points ahead. 30 points ahead.

And then when it comes to a vote, well, we got, we're going to take a break. We're just going to take a break. We're vote counting, but everybody's really tired. It's sleepy. It's almost. Whoo. 930 at night. We got to get to bed.

And then they count and lo and behold, Maduro wins.

We just found some ballots in Detroit.

Is anybody seeing a single dog here?

It's insane.

Do we have that, that crazy music that we, that we play, Sarah, for stuff like this when it's just, it's the one with the Horn honk.

No. Oh, but that's appropriate, too.

That's appropriate too.

So anyway, now he's president.

It's like this. Is this the one with the Horn hunk?

I think so. So he is. So he's, he's now president.

And what did he do? Well, he consolidated power in their Pentagon, you know, got rid of anybody that might be, you know, might, might be against him. So they got rid of him. Gee, isn't that, what, wait a minute. Didn't we stand our army down to do that right after? Well, that's weird. So now he has the complete support of the army and they're out quelling these crazies that are saying the election was stolen, was stolen because these people, it's the worst thing to happen in Venezuela since, I don't know, the civil war.

And they're going into civil war now. I've been watching the news and I haven't heard anyone pluck out a single parallel story here. I haven't seen a single person on, you know, what I'm seeing on tv?

This is bad. Look at this. Look at this. I mean, the people were crying out saying there was corruption, you know, and now he's trying to, he changed the supreme court again. Now he's doing that again. What? I mean, this is out of control. First of all, he was trying to arrest his opponent.

So I do believe, stu, that for the rest of the show we should just talk like this. Cause everything's a cartoon.

I wouldn't be surprised. Secret Service says Donald Trump was not hit by a bullet. We believe a safe fell out of the sky.

Why not?

Stu
I've always believed the latest about what they're talking about. All of this. It's. It's been acme from the beginning. Yeah.

Glenn Beck
Yes, yes.

Would you have been surprised if the guy up on the roof would have had a big, black, round bowling ball of a bomb and lit the fuse and was wearing a fedora? And he was like, shhhhh. And he's lighting the fuse, and everybody's in the crowd going, there's a guy in a black fedora with a big black acme bomb, and he's lit it and he's going to throw it towards the president.

Why not?

Why not? Why is the crap that they're saying to us right now less believable?

Stu
Every day they update that story.

Glenn Beck
He is.

Stu
Yeah. Every day they update that story. He's there. Earlier, like, I remember when this story broke, I had a conniption on vacations saying, hey, how the heck was this guy up there for 90 seconds?

Glenn Beck
90 seconds. He was on the roof for 90.

Stu
Seconds, and somehow they let him up there. And every time you get an update, it was actually 26 minutes. Actually. He built a condo on the complex six months ago, and it's been living there, casing the entire field since then.

I don't. It was halfway through the story.

Glenn Beck
He's building a tunnel.

He was halfway finished with a tunnel that he was building from the roof to the lectern where Trump was. He just couldn't get it done in time.

Yeah. Now, now we're starting to find out something about him.

The FBI has come out and said, oh, no, we have some evidence now.

We think we might have a mo.

We think we might have a motive.

Okay, first of all, I'm pretty sure his motive was to kill the president.

I think that was his motive.

I don't know. What are you getting up for today?

Well, I was gonna have some bran flakes, but I decided I'm gonna kill Donald Trump. That's what motivated him.

Stu
Along with the brand flakes now, right?

Glenn Beck
What, you eat Bran flakes at that.

Stu
Age, it's gonna cause some weird outcomes. There's no doubt about that.

And, you know, look, you have a.

Glenn Beck
Situation where it had absolutely no footprint digitally.

That happens all the time.

He's never said a word on the Internet. Oh, yeah. And he's got a phone and everything. He's, you know, he's not crazy.

He's got a phone, but he has zero footprint. He left us nothing.

Except now we just found something.

Wait until you hear this story.

You're gonna talk like this, too, in just a few minutes.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

Our sponsor this half hour is Lear capital.

You know, some would say things are weird right now.

Not me.

No, no, not me.

People are weird, especially those Republicans. What a bunch of weirdos. By the way, you can go to Glenn Beck merch. And do we have the t shirt? I made two t shirts for JD Vance.

One of them is.

Well, I. I would hate to say that I just lifted the artwork from Portland and the big Portland, you know, campaign that they had up on billboards, keep Portland weird.

But it looks kind of like that.

The t shirt just says, keep JD Vance weird. And the other one, you remember that? Keep calm and carry on. This one is just keep calm and JD Vance weird.

You can get the McLenbeck merch right now. Anyway, things are weird. What will they do next? I mean, next thing you know, the Republicans are going to say, hey, we shouldn't have a national digital currency. That could be really bad. Mark of the beast. You know, something like that.

Thank goodness you've got people who don't know what a woman is. So I'm not sure that they. They can put that together.

Terrible changes will come, and we have to be prepared for it as a people. If you start with your finances, one of the most important things you can do is if you have any extra money, you need to put some of that money in a hedge, something that will hold up if the dollar goes down. If the dollar goes down, inflation goes up. What grows? Well, gold is always that hedgehead. Gold or silver.

10 seconds. Station Id.

Wow.

So the FBI director says, now there is no doubt, and there never has been any doubt about Trump. He was hit by a bullet.

No matter what Director Ray was saying, it was a bulletin.

It only took us two weeks to find that out.

Man, these guys are on top of it, aren't they?

Now, the FBI also has come out, and they believe that crook, his.

His attempt to assassinate Donald Trump was because he was motivated by still the.

Stu
Desire to assassinate Donald Trump.

Glenn Beck
Yes, but what was really behind that?

Stu
Bran flakes.

Glenn Beck
No, no. Stop listening to those conspiracy theorists.

He was extreme in his view of illegal aliens, and he was. Also had extreme anti semitic comments. Now, the FBI released the story, and the headlines are all extreme anti semitic comments online. I thought he had no digital footprint. Now, we found extreme anti semitic. Okay, well, that would make him part of the left, which is weird, because that's where the Nazis belong, on the extreme left, not the right.

So he is now an anti semite, and he also said some vicious things about the border and what's happening to our country.

Sounds to me like he's a right wing nutjob.

Stu
Well, I think there's a logical line there from someone who is upset about open borders and immediately goes to assassinate Donald Trump. Like, any sense in that? Is there any logic in that path there? I don't.

Glenn Beck
Okay, okay, good, good. Go with that for a second. Tell me why there's no logic in that. Okay? Cause I got another story that maybe you can help figure out. Go ahead, speaker one.

Stu
Well, Donald Trump is the most visible person in America arguing for tighter border control. So if you were upset about what's going on in the border, assuming it wasn't like the we have kids in cages thing, you know, with AOC crying at, you know, in her $3,000 suit at the border fence, if you'd think that Donald Trump would be your. Would be your hero. If. If that were true.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, if that's what you really. Yeah. Okay. Can you help me figure this story out? Because remember, you just said there's no real logic in that.

Vice President Kamala Harris, now the presumptive democratic presidential nominee, has received critical endorsements from the mayors of some of the largest towns on the Arizona Mexico border.

I trust her to meet the needs of our border cities and towns without taking advantages off of us for her own personal gain. Like her opponent, the border mayor. The border mayors in Arizona trust that the border czar, non border czar, is the one to fix the problem.

It's like there is a little miniature shooter on a slopey kind of roof in my head, just killing brain cells every time I listen to the mainstream media.

So everything is fine, everybody. Hey, I got a funny nose. And JD Vance is weird.

I. Look how many people we can stuff in this car.

Stand up.

Glenn Beck.

In dangerous emergency situations. A lot of times there are gray areas. For instance, not every situation in which someone is seeking to do you or your family harm calls for deadly force. Don't get me wrong.

A lot of them do, you know, but not all of them. If you have the opportunity to stop someone without killing them, in most cases, you should take that. This is why I own a burn a launcher. This is why my security guys carry not only a gun, but a burn a launcher, non lethal alternative to safeguarding your home. It is legal in all 50 states. If you're over 18 and you can pack it in your checked luggage without the need to declare it as a firearm. It has powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60 foot range. One shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. By the way, their high capacity mission, four rifle with maximum projectile speed, is back in stock and ready to ship.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We join now with Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed, a podcast that you can get wherever you get your podcasts every day. And you can watch him record that and do it live every day before the broadcast of this life program.

So.

So, Pat, we were just talking about the Secret Service, and I don't know, I feel so much better now that they have somebody else as the director, you know?

Pat Gray
Yeah. Because he's been terrific so far.

We.

We saw how terrific he was yesterday at the hearing. The senate is doing a hearing on this, and he was called before the senate, and he's got plenty of answers. You know, this thing.

So this thing's over now. I mean, you don't need to worry about what happened. It's clear. It's as clear as can be. What happened?

Glenn Beck
Okay, here he is. Cut six.

Stu
Gold arrow indicates where the shooter fired from looking left.

Pat Gray
Okay.

Stu
Why was the assailant not seen?

Glenn Beck
That is when we were told that.

Stu
Building was going to be covered, that there had been a face to face that afternoon.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, we know that.

Stu
Our team leads meth.

This was the view.

Pat Gray
Okay.

Glenn Beck
Yes.

Pat Gray
Hello.

Stu
Let me show you another view, senator.

Pat Gray
All right. Show me be.

Glenn Beck
Oh, geez.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
He's angry, though.

Pat Gray
Yeah, he is. He's pissed because Cheadle did a terrible job. He was fine, but she did a really bad job.

Stu
This view.

Pat Gray
Mm hmm.

Stu
Is a reenactment by one of my agents.

Pat Gray
Okay. Really good view laying flat.

Glenn Beck
Okay, so he reenacted.

Stu
There is a five inch rise on the middle of that roof.

Pat Gray
Uh huh.

Stu
The assailant would have had to present his bore over that to get his shot off.

The view underneath reflects the perspective that he would have had.

Again, I call your attention back to the first exhibit. If they'd have looked left.

Glenn Beck
Oh, let me see.

I couldn't. I couldn't ascertain any of this from just watching it on tv.

Pat Gray
No, no, it's a good thing he pointed it out because this is really technical stuff that you would never.

Stu
This is what our countersniper team saw.

Pat Gray
All right.

He's really good at this presentation.

Glenn Beck
No elbows.

Stu
You barely make out the crown of his head.

Pat Gray
Barely. Barely below it.

Glenn Beck
Wow.

Stu
The assailant up prone.

Pat Gray
Right.

Stu
And let me just tell you, our counter sniper, this individual, I know him. I consider him a friend of. He has covered me operationally in conflict zones.

Glenn Beck
All right?

Stu
And when I did my time on the president's detail.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Stu
He exemplifies the courage.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Stu
The skill and the ability to respond under great stress in such short time to neutralize the threat and prevent further loss of light.

Pat Gray
And I don't think nobody doubts the veracity of the actual counter sniper. Right. What the problem lies with the leadership who set all of this up and ignored all the warning signs and didn't do anything about the threat that was present.

Glenn Beck
That's the problem. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, wait a minute. Just a second.

Does he have a chart?

Pat Gray
A chart?

Stu
That would be interesting if he had.

Pat Gray
A chart to show the counter sniper. I don't think the counter sniper had a chart.

Stu
No?

No.

Pat Gray
So I don't care whose friend he is.

He's screwed up.

Stu
Did the assassin himself bring charts to explain where he was going to shoot from?

Pat Gray
Yes. And he handed them. Handed it to the secret service and local law enforcement.

Stu
But they couldn't have known.

Pat Gray
But they couldn't.

Stu
They couldn't.

Pat Gray
There was no way to know.

Stu
Charts are hard.

Glenn Beck
Right.

Pat Gray
Glenn, what if they would have had a Venn diagram?

Glenn Beck
Why?

Pat Gray
Then maybe something could have been done. Because they could have called Kamala Harris into the equation.

Stu
That would have been incredible.

Pat Gray
Yeah, I would have.

Stu
That would have been amazing.

Glenn Beck
If you would have seen where the.

Pat Gray
Two agencies overlap, then you could have done something about it.

Stu
Right? Someone might have known that. There's no way to know. There's just no way to know.

Pat Gray
Right.

Stu
And that's, I guess, what we're dealing with here. I mean, I do have a little. I don't know what level of control this guy had over the situation. Right. Do we know really?

Pat Gray
Supposedly. Well, according to people I've heard from, the buck kind of stopped with him, he's sort of the. He was sort of the one in charge.

Stu
Not Cheadle.

Pat Gray
Not Cheadle.

Stu
So Cheadle was just the.

Pat Gray
Cheadle's kind of the main, you know, she's just the overseer of the whole agency. He was apparently the overseer of specific operations.

Stu
But then they. The answer to that was to put him as the acting head of the.

Pat Gray
I know. Yeah.

Stu
Seems like a promotion's not in order after such an event. Am I wrong with that?

Pat Gray
No, I think. I think you've got a point there, actually.

Stu
I'm a little concerned at this point as to where this is going.

Pat Gray
And, you know, we had a caller who knows about the, you know, radio communication among law enforcement agencies. Her speculation was that the feds were on, some were on a digital system and the locals were on an analog system because they can't afford digital systems.

Stu
Okay.

Pat Gray
And the two can't communicate with each other. So what you need to have is a go between, right? One person who has both and can relay information, but we don't have a, apparently the ability to put another person into that operation.

Stu
What do you think? And I'm just going to throw this out there. What do you think about someone hopping on Amazon and just buying enough equipment for everyone to be able to talk to each other? Like a new purchase?

Pat Gray
That's just crazy talking.

Stu
Yeah. No, yeah. Okay.

Glenn Beck
Just crazy.

Stu
We do now know that much of their communication was via group text.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Stu
They were taking pictures of the potential assassin and texting it to each other. Now, look, when you want to organize a fantasy football draft, start time, group text is a great way to do it. I gotta say, it is fantastic.

Pat Gray
But how many lives are on the line when you're doing the fantasy draft?

Stu
Well, the stakes are high.

Pat Gray
Like, all of them.

Stu
The stakes are high.

Pat Gray
All lives are on the line.

Stu
All lives are. Yeah, but like, when you're talking about the safety of the former president of the United States, perhaps maybe group text isn't the best way for them to be communicating.

Pat Gray
What?

Stu
I know, it's wild. It's a wild and crazy idea.

It's incon. It's legitimately incomprehensible how this happened. It is anybody. It is anybody with the basic sense of this job. Every security expert you talk to says the same thing. Of course, obviously they should have been looking at this roof. It's the one place that you would look for a potential assassin.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Stu
Where else are you going to shoot from? You know, field level? Like.

Pat Gray
No.

Stu
In an open field where you could be taken out immediately. Only the roof has any protection. Only the roof has a shot that's clear.

And this is.

Pat Gray
And you didn't have to go through the security so you can have the weapon.

Stu
Yep.

Incomprehensible. The New York Times did a video on this, and I will say the New York Times does many things very poorly. One thing they do really well is after events like this, they just recreate everything with every video available and time them all together and show where they were taken from and draw lines on maps and really, I think, do a good job explaining it. And one of the things that they point out in the video is that one of the sniper positions, the closer sniper position to this particular roof has the view blocked by a giant tree.

Like, you couldn't.

You could.

One of the two perches for the actual snipers on the good guys side here could not see the one place you would try to assassinate a former president from. Couldn't see it because there's a giant tree in the way.

Pat Gray
Unreal.

Stu
How is this possible?

And I keep going back to this, but it's like you kind of understand everyone going on both sides to conspiracy theories. Like, yes, because you understand it.

Pat Gray
You can't believe that they could be this incompetent, that the US Secret Service could be this bad at what they do.

Stu
Yeah.

Pat Gray
So the only thing you're left with is, well, okay, it was on purpose.

It's on purpose. They let it happen.

Stu
Have we just been lucky? Like, has it been one of those situations? Cause I guess maybe if you did that rally a hundred times in 100 different cities in that exact same situation, probably most of the time an assassin doesn't climb on the roof. Right. Just because.

Pat Gray
Probably 99 times out of 100.

Stu
Yeah, you'd think so. Maybe that's the only thing that's keeping our politicians safe.

Pat Gray
Might be.

Stu
And think about. Think about just the future of the country here for a second, because if you go to a future here where we have a secret service that's incapable of protecting the candidates in office, it's not just Donald Trump to be worried about.

It's Kamala Harris, it's Joe Biden, it's RFK junior. All these people are in danger. And God forbid somebody does something that. That. That turns out differently than what happened with Donald Trump. God only knows where our country is that next day.

I mean, it is a terrifying thing to think about.

And it seems like just kind of basic luck has been the thing that's been protecting us all this time.

It's terrifying.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat Gray
I mean, it's the only thing you're left to conclude. Just that we've just been lucky. Cause they're so bad, otherwise you're thinking something else, which is even worse. So the best possible scenario is that they're the worst at their job of anybody you've ever heard of in any industry anywhere.

And it's just hard to believe. But it's true.

Stu
It's hard to believe that our secret service is there. Look, we all know that there are incredible agents working there. We all know there are people with high levels of competence in a lot of these roles. So I don't know.

Pat Gray
And I think, like we said, the snipers themselves are probably terrific. I'm sure they're great people. I'm sure they're dedicated to their job. I'm sure they're highly skilled.

But the leadership has obviously failed miserably.

Stu
A new video came out yesterday, and you heard, of course, and it's taken by a guy running at the base of this building going, hey, look up there.

You see that guy with a gun? We should do something about that.

But when? Now, obviously, the snipers are on way on the other side of the stage. Right. Like they're, what, 400 yards away? So they're not hearing any of this.

They may be getting some indication. We've seen some footage of them changing their position quickly. But once that first shot rings out, I mean, it's not more than four or 5 seconds before that guy is down.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Stu
I mean, it is.

Pat Gray
It happens fast.

Stu
Fast. And it's one shot.

Pat Gray
Yep.

Stu
You can hear the. The assassin fire eight times, a burst of first. I think it's three, and then it's five more.

Pat Gray
Right.

Stu
And once that fifth shot is fired, he's immediately taken down. I mean, it is legitimately amazing. I can't.

Obviously, the skill is there. That's what's so hard to believe about.

Pat Gray
All this, especially when the shot supposedly came from, what was it, 448 yards away.

Stu
Yeah, it's a long.

Pat Gray
That's a long way.

Stu
Yes. And I know that everyone keeps saying, oh, well, from 100 yards away or 130 yards away where the assassin took the shot. It's not that difficult of shot if you have training. And that's. I would, you know, that's probably true. Probably true.

You know, although it's a little different.

Pat Gray
From 400 some yards away, I would.

Stu
Assume it gets dramatically different, exponentially more difficult as you go farther and farther and. I don't know. We talked to an assassin who has the longest confirmed kill in history. Oh, and he was like, that shot's easy. Anybody who, and he also said anybody who has ever played call of duty would know to station someone up on that roof. Right. Like, it's not like this is a high level security concern.

Glenn Beck
Right.

Stu
So it is just an amazing. All right, let's take a quick break. Talk to you about Preborn. You know, there's no such thing as a disposable human being. You wouldn't know that if you happen to be watching the news and listening to how the left talks about children and these days. But we've disposed of 65 million human beings in this country since the beginning of Roe versus Wade, many of them in the worst possible way.

You're led kind of to the inescapable conclusion that, yeah, a lot of Americans do believe that 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. 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 mother sees her unborn child on the monitor, when she hears the heartbeat, shes twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby. If you have the means, would you consider giving a leadership gift to save babies in a big way? If you can do something huge, like $5,000, your tax deductible donation will sponsor Preborn's entire network for an entire day, helping to rescue 200 babies. To donate, dial 250 and say the keyword baby pound 250. The keyword is baby. If you can't do five grand, of course, it's totally understandable. Can you do $5? Can you do anything? Donate securely@preborn.com. beck preborn.com Beck it is sponsored by prebornous.

Glenn Beck
You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Stu
We talk a lot about protection, protecting yourself, protecting your home, making sure that you're prepared for whatever comes down the road. But do you think about, like, the stuff, you know, that's kind of going on in the background? We're not talking about alarms. We're not talking about, you know, your second Amendment rights. I'm talking about something a little bit different, something like your title, your home's title. If you want to protect your home and your, and your retirement, you need to protect your home title. With home title lock, homes across America are being stolen every day with a scam called home title theft. It's been one of the fastest growing crimes in America for a while now, and no one really knows about it because who thinks about your home's title? Nobody. Nobody does.

I want you to continue not thinking about your home's title. Let home title lock do that for you.

Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck's first ever young adult fiction novel, chasing embers, is now on sale, available everywhere.

Stu
It's a big thing. It's out right now. I think we find out soon whether it made the best seller list. And I'm sure the New York Times is going to fully report on its.

Pat Gray
Sales because it was the biggest selling book, I believe, in the young adult category and probably maybe even overall. But it's like 84th, I think, on.

Stu
The New York Times, according to the New York Times.

Pat Gray
Yeah. Yeah.

Stu
So we'll see, we'll see how that one turns out. Triple 8727 back is the, is the number we were talking about the Secret Service and the failures of the Secret Service.

And have there been some, I've noticed a couple lately. Really? I've noticed, you know, this, I've noticed some things going a bit awry and at times, like, I think we as conservatives who just, you know, who have a, an affinity for law and order and law enforcement, we get this sense that, you know, things like the Secret Service are the exceptions to the rule of government incompetence. Right. We know government can't really do anything right. And we make exceptions for the rule when it comes to the military and our police and the secret service. And, you know, I think for years and years, the FBI and the CIA and, and I think that's really changed for conservatives over the past, say, ten years or so. Like the faith that we have in, certainly institutions like the FBI has been just disintegrated at this point. And that's. Look, it might be correct, but it's also not a good thing. You know, losing faith in these institutions is a really rough thing for our country to go through, especially when now both sides don't seem to have any interest in them.

Pat Gray
I've heard it termed suboptimal.

Stu
Suboptimal.

The term I adore. As you know. I do know that there's a lot. I get to use it a lot lately.

Glenn Beck
No kidding.

Stu
You know, it is appropriate to so many different situations. Sub optimal.

Our future seems to be. We have more coming up. Triple H 727 Beck. It is the Glenn Beck program.

Glenn Beck
The Glenn Beck program.

Stu
When a severe hurricane comes along, one of the things that Texans know is that, you know, you can expect big thunderstorms to follow in its wake. That can mean power outages and difficulties getting to places like pharmacies and doctor's office.

If you are not prepared, it can be a major, major problem. And there's something that you can do to make sure that you have, I don't know, your preparation. You have the medication you need when it is needed, and it's a solution that, you know, thousands of people have already discovered. Maybe you're one of them. But it's called the Jace case, and it'll allow you to start stocking up on medication right now so you're prepared. The Jace case is a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics.

And when you have these on hand, you can treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections. We kind of take this stuff for granted. We're like, oh, we'll just get them whenever we need them. Yeah, but they're not always available anymore. Things are changing. I don't know if you're noticing this, so prepare yourself. There are add on options, too.

Have no room.

Glenn Beck
To compromise.

Stu
We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

Glenn Beck
Stand up.

Stu
Shake.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Pat Gray
We are working on getting Glen back at some technical difficulties there at his ranch. Hopefully, he'll be back with us in a second. Here, we gotta show you.

Stu
Now we're gonna show you how weird JD Vance is coming up in a little bit. The guy's funky. He's funky. He's a little. He's a little twisted. We'll see if we can get to the bottom of this weird guy coming up in just seconds. But let me tell you about leaf home gutter. If you're anything like me, you probably just do about any other chore other than throw a ladder up against your roof, climb up there and clean all the leaves out of the gutters. I am, by the way. I don't know if I ever told you this, Pat. I am fully convinced the way I die is falling off a ladder.

Pat Gray
Oh, right.

Stu
I don't know what it is.

Pat Gray
You have told me that, but okay.

Stu
And it's weird because I could really just avoid going up a ladder, and maybe this is the best way to do it. Right.

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 that fun stuff, and more. Imagine all the time and hassle that you will save, not to mention all the boredom and death defying ladder climbing that you will have. I don't want to die falling off a ladder. I want something more, I don't know, a little bit better than that. And I just know that will happen to me when it comes to cleaning out your gutter. So go with leaffilter. It's America's number one gutter protection system. You can schedule your free inspection and get up to 30% off your purchase@leaffilter.com. glenn Beck that is a free inspection, 30% off@leaffilter.com. leaf filter.com Glenn Beck c representative for warranty details and, Glenn, I know you think you encourage me often to go to the top of ladders just for the hope that I would fall off, but instead, I'm gonna go with leaffilter.com Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck
Yes, I do. I do. I do, I do. I'm hoping right now.

Yeah.

All right. Thank you very much, Stu. Do we have Jonathan Turley with us?

Is Jonathan with us?

Stu
Not on at the moment.

Glenn Beck
Am I on the air?

Stu
You are on at the moment.

Glenn Beck
Can somebody give me a thumbs up? I, here's. Let me just say this. I don't know if it's actually making it.

I'm not on in the moment.

Pat Gray
No, you are.

Glenn Beck
Okay. I am. All right, good. So I'm up here now. I'm going to explain something, and I'm just making a plea, mainly to Elon Musk.

I'm wondering exactly how Elon Musk can get a picture, a good quality picture and sound from inside of a car in space.

But I can't find a way to get my voice 8000ft down a mountain.

I just don't. I don't get it. And I'm going to hold a contest.

Tell me how to get my voice down from this mountain and win. I'll give you a job. How's that?

Anyway? All right, so, Stu, do we have Jonathan with us?

Stu
We do not have Jonathan with us. And we have quite a delay issue here, Glenn. So you probably just need to take this straight on your own here. Our interaction is going to be a little difficult at the moment.

Glenn Beck
Okay?

Pat Gray
Mm hmm.

Four, five.

Glenn Beck
Okay.

Pat Gray
A little bit of a delay there. Yeah.

Stu
Okay. All right, well, we're learning that. We're going to be good. All right. We're just going to talk to you. We're just going to go for it here. Sorry about all the delays. Stations. We apologize for all the issues this morning. It's been a rough one. Let's go to JD Vance. JD Vance is weird. He is as weird as, I mean, certainly the opposite of the normalcy we're all used to these days, the normalcy of drag queen story hours, the normalcy of men punching women in the face repeatedly during the Olympics and lots of people cheering it on.

Pat Gray
And you know what's interesting about that particular weirdness is. Or normalcy. I'm sorry, that's normal.

Stu
That's normal.

Pat Gray
Is that the Olympic. Did not the IOC initially say, okay, no trans women in women's sports, and now they've completely reversed themselves. Well, and there are trans women in women's sports.

Stu
Well, did you ever look at their passports?

Pat Gray
I didn't.

Stu
Their passport.

Pat Gray
No.

Stu
Passports said they were women. So.

Pat Gray
So they're women.

Stu
That's all you have to do.

Pat Gray
All right?

Stu
Talking about a violence.

Pat Gray
So their birth certificate doesn't matter, but their passport.

Stu
Passport's the one critical. That's science critical. Biologists all agree the way to figure out someone's gender is to look at their passport.

Pat Gray
I didn't know that.

Stu
Yeah, some people say, what about their genitals?

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Stu
No and no. That does not even tell you anything. What about the chromosomes? Doesn't tell you one. Nothing about their gender. Their passport is what tells you about their gender.

Pat Gray
Okay?

Stu
And that's a whole nother revolting road we could go down because we are we completely lost as a society. Yes, because, I mean, our, we were critical of the Romans.

You know, we've had, we gone over the years and said, you know, maybe having a budget, having a coliseum where people are getting ripped apart in front of people's eyes as they cheer on. Bad idea. Right? We at one time believed that. Now we're like, what if we just have men beat the crap out of women on stage and cheer it on? Well, that's beautiful.

Pat Gray
It's beautiful.

There's nothing better than that, is there? And that just happened yesterday.

Stu
Yeah.

Pat Gray
In France, where a trans woman beat the crap out of an actual woman in boxing. I mean, is that not the worst sport you could allow of a man to purport to be a woman?

Stu
Right.

Pat Gray
It's the worst sport possible for that.

Stu
Right. And I think, like, we can talk about Riley Gaines, you know, the swimmer who's been fantastic, speaking out about all of this. And she pointed out, like, imagine if you happen to be a female boxer and you've went through this all the training, rose through the ranks, made an Olympic team, and you get into the Olympics, and instead of having a chance to actually go up against a woman, which you've been training for your whole life, you just got some dude in there who just beats the crap out of you. Now, I think she's totally right on that. Right? Like, that is a point I agree with 100%. However, I do have to say in this particular sport, I find it to be quite secondary. Right. In swimming, totally agree. Basketball, totally agree. Totally unfair. And it does also apply to boxing. But what we're talking about here is domestic violence.

It is. It is domestic violence. It is assault.

When you have. It's one thing to have a guy break a bunch of swimming records. It's really bad. I don't want to demean it. It's not nothing. It's really, really bad and important that women have their spaces to be able to compete against each other.

Pat Gray
Right. It's virtually criminal when you're talking about violence like this.

Stu
I think it is. I don't know. I mean, I, you know, I don't know. Maybe I haven't fully thought out the legality of all of this. Maybe, I don't know. There's a bunch of libertarian arguments I'm not thinking of. But, like, I am of the. Of the sort here, Pat. And call me. Call me quaint, call me the type of person that, you know, I kind of feel like just female boxing should be illegal. And I know, like, the fan people love it. Some people love it. I don't get it. Don't ever want to see a woman punched in the face for any reason.

I'm old school on that one.

Pat Gray
I will say this.

The woman who does the formative buzz.

Stu
Oh, yes. Hillary loves it. Loves it. She loves it. I know a lot of people do.

Pat Gray
Kennedy loves it.

Stu
Loves the MMA.

Pat Gray
She loves MMa, and she loves females battling it out on MMA. She doesn't think men should be involved in women's athletics, but she does love the blood and guts of women on women in MMA.

Stu
Hey, look, I don't even. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of regular MMA, so in that way, I just. I don't. There's a certain amount of brutality I can watch in a movie and be okay with it when it's real. I really don't like watching it, but really, like, okay, so then you step it up to what? Women punching women in the face? Don't want to see that either. But I really don't think he even should be legal for men to stand on a stage. No people's entertainment, and beat the crap out of women. I'm sorry.

Pat Gray
I. I don't even know how we got here. I know we weren't supposed to be here. According to the IOC, just recently.

All right, seven two seven, Beck. More coming up in.

Stu
I just. You know what? That wasn't even the topic we were going to do, but that one I could rant about. It feels like the absolute collapse of all civilization.

Pat Gray
Yeah, it does. It does, it does, it does.

Glenn Beck
Because it is.

Stu
Do we just have men stab women on stage for our entertainment? Won't that be fun?

Pat Gray
Don't give them any ideas that might.

Stu
Be in the Olympics next time.

Pat Gray
It might.

Stu
All right, let me tell you about rough greens, and we'll come back to this. Unless your dog gets to stare at a menu and pick out whatever he wants to eat every single night. And most dogs don't get that. Of course, the nutrition that goes into his body or her body is pretty much on you.

If you want him, if you want to be happy and healthy, you're going to make sure that he's eating something he likes and something which is good for him at the same time. And I feel the same way, which is why I started giving my dog rough greens. Glenn gives his dog rough greens. Pat gives his dog. How many dogs you have now, Pat? Mmm, just the one.

Pat Gray
Just the one.

Stu
What's the one?

Pat Gray
How big.

Stu
What's the weight of that dog?

Pat Gray
Would you say she is? A whopping four pounds.

Stu
So a bag of rough grounds last you 16 months?

Pat Gray
Yes, it does.

Stu
But it's good for your dog and, you know, look good for your dog. It's probably in rough greens. The folks at rough greens are super confident that your dog is going to love it. So they're just like, hey, they're going to give you a special deal. Roughgreens.com beck or call. Eight three three glenn 33. They're going to give you your first trial bag free. All you have to do is pay shipping. Eight three three glenn 33. 833. Glenn 33. Give them a call today. It is rough greens, 10 seconds. Station id okay, triple h, 727 beck. So we were talking about the, the.

Pat Gray
Next Olympic category, which is stabbing women on stage. That's coming.

Stu
It is right around the corner. Yeah, it is right around the corner.

Pat Gray
Who wants a gold medal in it?

Stu
I don't know. Now, I will say there are a lot of countries, some of them in the Middle East. North Korea might be big on this one. They might be really good at this as they might have a lot of practice doing it, but I will say I don't want it to happen.

And like, and this is, you know, we started this talking about JD Vance a little bit.

We are told as a society that we are the weird ones, while this is normal. While a guy, you know, painted blue mocking the last Supper is normal.

Pat Gray
Right.

Stu
A guy who has his junk flopping out of his shorts.

Pat Gray
Yeah. In front of women, children, in front of billion people.

Stu
Yeah, that's normal.

Pat Gray
And then the first lady of the United States of America, Doctor Jill Biden, calls it spectacular and she wonders how we're ever going to top it.

Stu
Anyway, I feel like if I saw a bunch, they just kind of walked them all out in their gym shorts in a circle and the thing, they just barely had the lights on. I would have been much happier with that song.

Pat Gray
How could we top it? I don't know. Let's just get a bunch of people to vomit on stage. Maybe that would top it. I mean, it's not going to be.

Stu
Hard to top that, you know, person painted blue and, you know, junk flopping out of shorts on national television was bad. The United States chose LeBron James to lead the delegation. That's even worse.

Pat Gray
Oh, my God.

Stu
The fact that we took the most annoying person in human history and had him lead our country is so freaking fitting for this era of America. Anybody? LeBron James, let's put him out there. It's so frustrating and so ridiculous.

Pat Gray
It is.

Stu
And I don't know, like, I was watching sort of the online discourse on the conservative side yesterday and I found it to be interesting in that the back and forth goes on of like, well, what do you do with the JD Vance is weird thing because we do immediately get into this defensive position all the time.

Pat Gray
Right?

Stu
Like, we're always like, well, no, we're not weird.

And like, I don't know that that's a productive way to handle this conversation, but I also don't know that just ignoring it works either. I don't think you could just be like, oh, yeah, he is weird. And we just kind of move on with our lives.

What do you do, Pat? Because JD Vance isn't weird.

He's about as nor about as straight an american success story as you can find. He's a man born into poverty, a man who struggles with his family his entire childhood, somehow overcomes that, goes into the military, and then becomes successful in the world of finance, writes a bestselling book, a movie gets made out of it. He becomes a senator, and now he is named as a vice presidential candidate.

Pat Gray
39 years old.

Stu
39 years old.

Pat Gray
39.

Stu
I mean, it is one of the most incredible stories. If he was a liberal, it would be a movie already.

Right. And I know he had a movie made, coincidentally enough, when he was critical of Donald Trump. The movie got made.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Stu
And now that he's complimentary of Donald Trump, all of a sudden the movie's not made. Everyone's panning it, and now he's weird.

Pat Gray
Yeah. And they've told us a million times how weird he is.

Stu
He really is.

Pat Gray
Here's a look at just how weird JD Vance is from the media and politics.

Glenn Beck
These guys are just weird. That's who they are.

Stu
As weird and creepy as JD Vance.

Pat Gray
Super weird idea from JD Vance.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. It's not, I mean, it's quite weird.

Stu
They're just plain weird.

Glenn Beck
Just plain weird.

Stu
Just plain weird.

Glenn Beck
That stuff is weird. They come across weird and then they start being weird. Yeah, they're weird.

Stu
Being a really weird. Such a weirdo. Donald Trump and his weirdo running mate are weird.

Glenn Beck
Deeply and profoundly weird. They are weird.

Pat Gray
These Republicans just being weird.

Glenn Beck
It's just weird.

Pat Gray
It's really weird.

Stu
Looking weirdness goes even deeper.

Glenn Beck
He said a lot of things that are weird.

Pat Gray
A weird style that he brings, weird policies.

Stu
Let's start with the weird thing, because it is a thing weird.

Glenn Beck
What was weird was talking about Diet Mountain Dew. Who drinks diet Mountain Dew? Who ever seen the guy laugh?

Stu
What a loser. That seems very weird to me, that an adult can go through six and.

Glenn Beck
A half years of being in the public eye if he has laughed. It's at someone, not with someone.

Stu
That.

Glenn Beck
That is weird behavior.

Stu
Is it?

Is it weird behavior?

Glenn Beck
Wow.

Stu
Tim walls, by the way, at the end, who they say restarted this. I don't believe it. I think it was a talking point that was fed to all these guys, but they say he was the first one who said it, and it was so brilliant that everyone picked it up. Really?

Glenn Beck
The word weird?

Pat Gray
Come on.

Glenn Beck
Come on.

Stu
I mean, it was brilliant when I was eight.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Stu
Is it brilliant now?

No, I don't think so.

Pat Gray
No. And what is it that's so weird about him? They don't even explain that. They just call him weird. What's weird about it?

Stu
Well, he wants kids to be alive.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Stu
I mean, he keeps wanting children to live, which I think is really weird.

Pat Gray
Only white children.

Stu
Oh, that's true.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Stu
Thank you. Thank you. Only white supremacists.

Pat Gray
Only white children can live.

Stu
This is.

What's her name?

Molly Zhang. Fast. Who, again, you hear these names? I've never heard her speak before. I don't know anything about her.

Pat Gray
I wasn't familiar with her either, but a lot of people are.

Stu
I've seen her name online a decent amount, but I don't know.

Is she always this crazy? I don't know. Obviously, she must be. She got booked on MSNBC, so she's probably insane. But here she is talking about what she believes is really at stake here with JD van and what his real desires are for this country. The stats are there more and more Americans choosing not to have kids, which.

Glenn Beck
Again, emphasizes why JD Vance's comments about.

Stu
Childless Americans, childless cat ladies, could be so politically damaging.

Glenn Beck
Well, so what's interesting is this is this natalism that comes from an authoritarian playbook, right. That there need to be more white children, right?

Stu
That's the idea. That there's, you know, this is about.

Glenn Beck
Great replacement theory, racism, right?

Pat Gray
This is what this is.

Glenn Beck
So don't misunderstand it.

Stu
For him wanting more children, he wants.

Glenn Beck
A certain kind of, you know, racist thing.

Pat Gray
He said nothing about nothing about certain kind of children. Said nothing about white children. He just wants children to be born.

Stu
And he has literally been engaged in the creation of non white children.

Pat Gray
He's got an indian wife.

Stu
Yes. He is creating children that are not white multiple times over.

Pat Gray
Like, he's the weird.

Stu
He's the weird one.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Stu
And, like, they just look, it is. There is a. Natalism is not. I mean, it's just a. It's a belief system that, hey, you know, we need to start, like, having more kids aren't. We're starting to have a situation where the population is going the opposite direction and, like, people.

Pat Gray
And it is in this country.

Stu
And as I think JD Vance believes we need to have policies that encourage family growth rather than discourage it.

You can say that's good or bad as an idea. There's a lot of arguments for and against it. But, like, it's not weird. It's just saying, hey. Like, it's.

Pat Gray
Nor is it racist.

Stu
It's certainly nothing to do with race. I mean, she's just.

That's why I gave the disclaimer. She just might be the biggest idiot in the world. And again, she got booked on MSNBC. So there's a lot of evidence that would support that theory. But, like, I mean, this is someone. Think about this. Just separate from the actual points being made here. This is a person that is so unfamiliar with what she's talking about. She doesn't even know that JD Vance is married to someone who is not white. That is basic, basic knowledge. She obviously didn't watch him at the convention.

Glenn Beck
Right?

Stu
Like, she. This is someone who's put such little time thinking about this topic and then gets booked on MSNBC to talk about it. These are the people in the media. They say they are your betters. I assure you they are not.

I assure, having dealt with many of them over the years, I assure you they are not your betters. They are not superior to you. They all believe they are.

But I can promise you, they are nothing. And this is a great example of it. This isn't like, even a philosophical disagreement. This is like inviting Glenn Beck on to talk about the NFL draft.

He would have no idea what player came out of BYU and was drafted in the third round. He would not know. Cause he would not have seen any of the games. He doesn't know their names. And they're like, let's go to Glenn Beckley on this. Wide receiver out of Boise State. Like, he's not gonna know.

Pat Gray
Wait, Boise estate. Now, that would be his response.

Stu
And the MSNBC. Wow, that's a great point. Boise is not a state. They don't even know. They're not. They don't even know.

Pat Gray
Wonder there's signs all the time. Boise is not a state.

Stu
And people just keep ignoring the facts. Boise is it. County is it. What is it? Do we know? Who could possibly know? We'll get into that even more coming up here in just a couple of seconds.

Glenn Beck
Stand up, Glenn Beck.

Stu
Well, a lot of huge news breaking in the Middle east, and we're rapidly now coming up on the one year anniversary of the terrible October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. And to this day, the holy land continues to be under attack on multiple fronts. Not only are they still dealing with Hamas, but Hezbollah is now constantly destroying critical farmland and people's homes with their rocket attacks. The international fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the forefront in Israel since the beginning of this war, addressing the needs of the most vulnerable. And that's why we've been partnering with them, because it's important. Honestly, it's really, really important. With all the stuff going on, you can't forget about this situation. Your life saving donations are helping to provide emergency food as well as critical security needs. You know, things like flak jackets, firefighting equipment, armored vehicles, bomb shelters, and so much more. They're looking for 500 listeners to help join the fellowship by donating $150 to meet these urgent security needs. And thanks to a generous IFCJ supporter, your gift will be matched, doubling your impact to the holy land. Call right now, 88848 iFCJ, 884-88-4325 or support IfCG it.

Glenn Beck
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

I was listening to Pat and Stu there, and thank you guys for filling in. We have a problem seemingly getting my voice down to earth, even though I'm only 8000ft above earth. But thanks for filling in. I'm listening to them talk about JD Vance and weird, how weird he is. Well, first of all, let's keep JD Vance weird. Okay?

You can go to Glenn beckmerch.com right now and get your keep JD Vance weird t shirt. I thought weird was an okay thing. I mean, that was is keep Austin weird. Keep San Francisco weird. Uh, keep Portland weird. So I don't know what their problem is. Well, actually, I do. And listening to Patton stew, they bring up a lot of really, really good points. But I think we're missing one thing to him. He is weird. And this is critical to understand because we think they're weird, right?

So let me explain why they think I JD Vance is weird.

JD vance is from a red state.

Weirdness number one.

JD Vance grew up in white poverty.

Weirdness number two. For them, they, he was. He was. He had a horrible, horrible life.

He didn't have white privilege number weirdness number three.

And he never gave up or listened to the naysayers.

Weirdness number four.

Just that is enough to make him weird. But that's not the full key.

To understand why the left thinks JD Vance is weird and they don't relate to his policies is because he comes at life 180 degrees differently than the left does.

He believes in pull yourself up by the bootstraps.

Don't let anybody tell you no.

Do it. Do it. No matter what anybody says about you, because nobody is holding you down, nobody's holding you back except you and your choices.

That's one of the biggest things that's weird about JD Vance, because either they totally believe it or they're. They know they're running an evil scam on people all over the world. You can't make it. You'll never make it. You need me to make it. Who says that?

Who says that except an abusive partner? You'll never make it. You know who's keeping you down? But I can help you get there.

I mean, that's the Nina Simone life.

Nina Simone is probably the greatest jazz singer of the 20th century. You don't know it or you may know her or know that she's great, but she didn't have her popularity because she was twisted from the beginning.

White people telling her she couldn't do it and then breaking through that and then marrying abusive men over and over again that just used her and lied to her and abused her.

Well, you start to believe those things or you conquer those things.

It's not what happens to you in life, it's what you do with those things.

I thought my dad was crazy when he told me, son, there's nothing. There's nothing bad.

And I was feeling bad for myself and I said, really? Nothing bad? Really? Well, how about when this happened or this happened or mom died? That wasn't bad.

He's like, there are things that happen that cause scars. There are things that happen that we don't like, but you're either going to wallow in that or you're going to learn and take something away from that.

Help it empower you.

This is the lesson of life.

Don't cower.

Stand back up because life is going to hit you over and over again. We'll stand up.

So that is.

That's really weirdness number four.

But here's the main weirdness for the left with JD Vance.

He's an entrepreneur and it coincides with don't tell anybody you know, don't let anybody tell you what you are or what you aren't. Don't let anybody tell you. No. Just do it yourself if you believe it. You may fail, but you're going to pick yourself back up. That's an entrepreneurial spirit.

Those are the people with real drive and they're. They're different. Than people that just want a nine to five job, and there's nothing wrong with either of them.

You can be somebody who's like, I don't want all of that. I just don't want all of that. I don't want to be responsible. I just want to go do my time and make my money, be treated fairly, and go home and have a life.

I don't know what percentage of the population is like that, but there's a good portion of the population that is like that. And those are the people that the left relates to and counts on, because they can use greed and envy to have you look at an entrepreneur. Somebody would drive, look, man, I don't have the drive to do what Elon Musk does. I don't have the brains to do it either.

So why should I think I should take some money from Elon Musk? Why would I hate Elon Musk for having the brains and the absolute gall to do what he's done, take all of the risks?

Oh, good for him.

See, what the left doesn't understand is we need each other.

We need the entrepreneurs.

We need the people that think out of the box, quite honestly. We need rich people that will build libraries or invest in some crazy, crackpot idea. By the way, every idea that's changed the world has been crazy or crackpot.

We need the entrepreneurs, the crackpots, the inventors, the people who have drive that just won't stop.

And those people need the nine to fiverrs. Can you imagine what it would be like if we were a society that was just full of nothing but entrepreneurs?

You'd think it would be a good thing, but it wouldn't be.

Who's actually holding down the fort?

Who's doing all of the work that needs to be done to get that idea launched?

You have to have the nine to fiverrs. You have to have them.

And nine to fiverrs.

You know, the old saying is, you know, tell me the. The last poor person that you worked for, because those people who have an average salary and everything else, and again, there's nothing wrong with that.

They're not the ones, necessarily that have the drive, and maybe they do and they're waiting for their opportunity or whatever, but generally speaking, those who want to work nine to five, clock in, clock out, have a life, those aren't the ones that have the dreams of changing the world.

No entrepreneur can do without them.

So here's what happens.

They think JD Vance is weird because they can't relate to him.

They can't relate to him on anything.

His white poverty instead of his white privilege, his red state over their blue state, his getting back up again over and over again and rejecting the idea. Stay down.

You need the government. Reach out for a handout.

They can't understand that even though his family did take government assistance because they needed it.

You got out of that. No, stay in it.

He's an entrepreneur.

He's a guy who dedicated himself. He was a dummy, dedicated himself to learn, and he did.

And that opened another door. Don't just go to school and just do it like everybody else does. Actually choose to be in charge of your education. Take it seriously, and look at the door that will open for you. They don't understand that. They want you to sit in that class and learn not to read, not to write, all of the stuff. They want you to learn how to be a good little soldier for them and the collective.

If you have unbridled crony capitalism, which is what we have had, if you have it, to where the government can get involved and start making bets on who's going to succeed and who's not, what does that give you? It gives you a culture much like ours. It gives you a culture where, God help you, you're not going to be able to escape because it's not fair. Because the mandehead, not in the corporation, but the corporation and the government keep you down.

You cannot invent a better mousetrap, because the people at the mouse trap company have all kinds of laws that they have helped, right? To make sure. You can't start at the beginning, at the beginning.

And so you get this greed, this envy, this wealth, this power, and it's all corrupt.

But then the left comes in and says, let's get rid of these rich people because they're bad.

And we're going to tell everybody else that we're the power, and you can't make it without us. But who are those people? Those are the same people at the top now in the corporations and the government that are saying, you can't make it.

Give me more power. Pass more laws in my favor that are holding us down now.

That's why this system is broken.

And you can't go back to the way it was with crony capitalism. You got to get rid of all of that.

You have to reduce the size of the government and put a clear wall between the government and business.

They are only there. The government is only there to say, excuse me, that's against the law.

It's a place for you to run to and say, I need the police.

But you can't do that with the government. Now you're going to run to the FBI. You think you're going to get a fair shake?

Socialist eat the entrepreneur. They eat them. They eat the rich. And that's why it always fails. Socialism, communism, always fails because it eats the dreamers. There are no dreamers. Tell me who the dreamers are in the government.

That's why he's weird to them.

And again, I would say if that's the case, keep JD Vance weird.

More in a second. Let me tell you about our sponsor this f hour. It's american financing. If you're like most Americans right now, you are definitely feeling the effects of inflation. Whether you're watching the numbers spiral at the gas pump, feeling like you got robbed at gunpoint every time you buy groceries. My gosh, I went yesterday, we had two shakes, a sprite and a bag of tater small tater tots, and it was like $18.

I can't go. My wife won't go with me anymore to drive thrus. She's like, I'm not going with you. Because then it just evokes like a 20 minutes. How is this possible?

Well, you know how it's possible.

If you are in need and you are looking at things like your house and going, I could lose my house and you are way behind and you have high interest credit card debt.

Please, please, please call american financing. Your mortgage can be made to work for you. It can help get you out of that high interest debt fast and help you pay this off. It's the kind of thing that happens for people when they get in touch with american financing. The kind of things like saving $825 every single month, that's like a $10,000 raise.

First they became the biggest corporation in the world.

Glenn Beck
Then they killed America.

This is where our story begins.

Glenn Beck's first ever young adult fiction novel, Chasing Embers, is now on sale. Get your copy wherever books are sold.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So here's what I think that we should do. As conservatives. I think conservatives, when they hear that JD Vance is weird, embrace it. Yes, to them he is. And in today's society, yes, he is.

He believes in marriage.

He's not a bigot. He believes that each person comes to the table with their own set of beliefs, their own set of rights and wrongs, far as you know, what they were born with and how they interpret life. He's not a bigot. Otherwise, how could he have married an indian? And God, do I say, bore two half white children.

How can he be a bigot? He doesn't even think that way. So that makes him weird in today's world. And I'd celebrate that.

You know, I think we need to say, look, I believe in two genders and that makes me weird in today's society. Didn't used to, but it does now. But I believe. And if that makes me weird, that's fine.

I'm staying weird.

I believe. Well, I know I could define what a woman is.

You don't think so? You appoint people on the Supreme Court that don't know how to describe a woman. I do. That makes me weird. In your world, you have a choice. You can either keep living by these lies. For instance, I know what causes inflation.

JD Vance knows what causes inflation.

Too much spending and printing of money.

I know that your experts don't. And when I say that's what the problem is, they say I'm weird. I embrace that weirdness. Do you want to stay in the same place that has brought all this misery, or would you like to join us in the weird place? Because the weird place, we strangely have answers for things.

And I suggest you join us.

The Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Well, as Barack Obama said I would, I'm really interested to see how this all plays out and to see the system work to be able to find our next candidate. Well, it has been, it's been interesting. I'm not sure people are really paying attention, but there is no part of democracy that is involved in any of this with Kamala Harris. And she has become the sole candidate for the democratic nomination. And it will go to a roll call August 1, which I think is what?

That's this week, isn't it? Tomorrow.

So we're going to see. I'm just holding my breath. Who's going to be the nominee? Let me explain how, how our system works and why this is so wrong in 60 seconds. First, there is just something extra delicious about biting into a steak or a burger or a piece of chicken, even delicious seafood, knowing that it was harvested here in the United States.

With good ranchers, you're getting meat that is entirely sourced here in the United States from local farms, local ranchers.

You're getting the best of the best. You're also getting no antibiotics, no added hormones, just pure, delicious meat. And the prime deals, you're not only getting incredible savings, but also supporting american farmers, which we have to do. And they have a July special right now, which is almost over. You're going to get $100 off and free wagyu burgers for a year when you use my promo code back@goodranchers.com. dot burgers are unbelievable. Why bother going back to the meat aisle when you already are getting the best delivered? And the best part about good ranchers, it's built by people who actually care about the ranchers, about our food supply, about your children, their children and our country.

It is trustworthy food that they've created this system. They wanted trustworthy food for their kids. And they know you're like them. Join me in the Meat revolution and claim your independence from the meat aisle with promo code Beck, you get $100 off and free burgers for a year. Don't miss out. Try good ranchers today@goodranchers.com. dot goodranchers.com American Meat delivered so reading this story here, the Democratic National Committee confirmed that the virtual roll call will begin on Thursday, meaning that Harris is the only person that is qualified for the ballot at the convention. The committee announced the roll call would take place on August 1 if Harris was alone or August 3 if other candidates challenged her.

There hasn't been any challenge. There's no challenge. Nobody is standing up. Okay. The, the cabal has already spoken.

Vice President Kamala Harris became the sole democratic nominee for president on Tuesday night after the deadline to challenge her nomination passed without any qualified candidates. Okay, so let me explain to how our system works, because I don't think a lot of people really understand.

Our system is beautiful in its simplicity and yet becomes complicated if you don't understand the whys that everything is done.

I think we all understand the love of money is the root of all evil, and there's way too much money sloshing around.

Well, now, let's talk about this for a second, because we are in a society that eats the rich. And they'll tell you all the time, even Jesus hated the rich.

He did. He hated them. Hated them. Remember that guy that had all that money and he was like, yeah, get your camel through the eye of the needle.

You. Have you seen a camel and a needle? Well, okay, the needle was a gate in the old city, and it was a small gate, but it wasn't a sewing needle, it was a gate. And you can get a camel through the gate, but you had to shed a lot of stuff.

And he didn't hate rich people. The reason why he said what he said, you know, you're going to have an easier chance getting your camel through the eye of the needle.

The reason why he said that to him is not because he was rich, but because he misunderstood.

Everything in life takes money, except for those eternal things.

And Jesus was talking about an eternal mission.

And that guy kept saying, you don't understand. I don't. Jesus, listen, I don't think you understand. I have a pretty big deal around these pots, and I got a lot of money, and I got a lot of friends, and I can help you.

No, Jesus understood. No, I don't need that. Go ahead and just leave everything behind.

Would somebody. Paul, come on over here. Oh, you're still Saul. No, go away. Uh, you, Peter, come over here, will you? Talk some sense into this guy? Tell him who I am.

Yeah. Jesus knew who he was. He didn't need the worldly help.

But in real life, in our elections, that's part of the deal, and it's just a balance to keep it in check, and we've lost that balance.

So in. In our place, rich. The rich people do have a place in our politics, but no more than your place in politics. And you can see how our founders designed this.

You choose to run, let's say, yeah, I've got a. I'm gonna run for mayor. Okay, well, if you're gonna do that, the first thing you need to do is convince a lot of people that you would make a good mayor. Just go around town, and when you get a coalition of people saying, yeah, I think he'd be a good mayor, okay, then you need that group to not only support you, but also grow your group, something bigger. You might need just great evangelists. You also might need somebody with money that can pay for advertising to help get that out.

There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't become beholden to the money. And the money doesn't think you're beholden to them.

So you've got the rich people supporting you in an appropriate way. You've got the people. And then what happens?

Our whole system is made to keep the election close to you. Okay? They want. The founders wanted one man, one vote, or actually, one landowner, one vote. Women could vote. I mean, if. If your husband was dead and you owned the land, uh, or if you were alone and owned land and you were a woman, you could vote. Didn't matter. It wasn't about sex. They believed that it was important that you had a stake in this game. Well, we changed that.

So it's meant to keep close to you and the people who have, you know, a little bit of skin in the game.

So if you have a big enough crowd around you and you have people that can help you get your word out, well, you could win locally, and then you win statewide and then you win nationally. But it was always local first, because if it wasn't local, if we just went to a national election and we didn't have all these primaries, we would always get the candidate of the big city. You'd never get somebody that was from Iowa or had Iowa sensibilities. You'd never have that. That because everyone would spend their money in the big cities, because that's enough to sway the vote. That's why we don't have a pure democracy.

We have a constitutional republic and an electoral college, because the founders knew that if. If these cities get big enough, they'll just eat everything. They'll eat, you know, all of the outlying areas, even in their own state, and then they'll just. They'll control everything.

I don't want to live under Los Angeles rules, New York rules.

I don't even want to live under Dallas rules, and I live in Texas.

The cities can't control everything because we're all different. And so they came up with the electoral college, and this is really how our system works.

You are voted for in your local district, then your state, and then you get into and say, I want to become president of the United States. And you have to go to all of these different states, the first ones at least, and really campaign. And your job as a citizen is to go and listen to them and question them and listen to both sides and then decide then what happens.

Well, then we have a national vote. And that's why these polling numbers that Stu will go through, these national poll numbers mean nothing. Mean nothing because we don't elect people by popular vote. But you'll notice the Democrats want the popular vote, not the electoral college.

They want the big cities in charge because they are in charge of the big cities. So who's for democracy now?

On top of that, this system worked pretty well. And, in fact, I think it worked really well in 1980. But that's when things changed. The Democrats saw a very unpopular with his own elite in his party. They saw an unpopular guy nominated for president. It was Ronald Reagan.

And the elites didn't want him. They wanted Fordhouse, and the people wanted Ronald Reagan.

And so the people spoke. And then when it went to the convention floor, because the electors, the, the state representatives, if you will, they have the vote, and then they divvy that up into the number of electors and they divvy that up. And then that person in the state at the convention says, okay, how many for this guy? How many for this guy? Because we don't go on a national, you know, one man, one vote sort of way. It has to be translated so then everything is kind of equal. And those people stand up. And if it's close, there can be a debate and there could even be an open convention where it may be somebody else because it's too close or it's not enough to get to the 270.

Okay.

All right.

So you have an open convention.

And what does that mean? It means that all of the delegates that have been elected by the local people for their state to represent them and their ideas and their vote, they would go in and say, okay, well, nobody got to 270. So what are we going to do?

Well, somebody did get to 270.

Somebody got to 270, and it was Joe Biden, you know, who wasn't even voted for by one individual was Kamala Harris.

So if you don't have anybody at 270 because your guy just dropped out, you should have an open convention.

But they didn't. They didn't.

What happened was, and this is the way history will write it, eventually there was a coup.

They forced this president out by, I believe, blackmailing him with the 25th amendment.

Now, I don't know why they, you know, just don't want him to run, but he's fine, you know, running the country. That's a nightmare.

So they did a coup. Barack Obama was part of it. Nancy Pelosi was part of it.

And they gave him an ultimatum. And he took the ultimatum and said, okay, I'm out.

And then he did something that I don't think Barack Obama expected. He then endorsed Kamala Harris. Barack. Barack Obama, I don't think, wanted Kamala Harris, but he let it play out. And all of a sudden, you know, the press and everybody just gets behind Kamala, and she's the one.

And she became anointed because she raised $200 million.

That's a lot of money.

Who are these donors? Well, we don't know. There's something happening with AC Blue, where they are taking in massive donations. And then you see, when you go to their chart, you see that it's all from like a, you know, Carol Schwartz, Carol Schwartz, Carol Schwartz, Carol Schwartz. Wait a minute. She gave dollar 50 donations, but when you total them all up, it's like over a million dollars.

What is happening here? And then you go talk to Carol Schwartz. And she said, no, I donated to actblue a year ago, but I didn't do that.

Somebody's laundering money.

So you have money that is out of control. And that money, money doesn't talk.

Money screams.

And it was screaming Kamala Harris.

And so they short circuited you. No matter what they say about grassroots up, there is no grassroots movement here. None of it. The grassroots movement. Here's what the grass roots movement was on the left.

Not Joe Biden. Not Joe Biden. Let us have a primary. Not Joe Biden. And the money spoke and said, we're not doing a primary. And they tried to destroy our. Destroy RFK and anybody else that would run against Biden.

And they didn't hold it. And the people wanted a primary because they knew what the press kept saying was wrong. He's absolutely not in control of his faculties.

So they short circuited that.

Then when it looked like he was going to lose, they short circuited him by doing a coup.

Then when they wanted Kamala in, they short circuited the convention and the open floor of the convention. Now, does that look like democracy to you at all?

Because where has your, where, where was your voice?

You may be convinced now that you were for Kamala all the time because the media is just doing an amazing job of repackaging her life. Why would you need repackaging if she's such a star? Why would you need to go in and kill stories if she was so great?

Why would you need to retract what your own reporters said about her and make sure they've been vaporized so nobody could see them again. Why do you need to do that if she's the one?

This from the Democrats. This is the third time they have stole the election from themselves.

The first time was with Bernie Sanders and the cabal got together and said, he's out. We're going for Clinton.

Okay.

Then it was 20.

What was it? 2018.

2018.

And we have Joe Biden.

Amy Klobuchar was out.

Then what happened?

This.

You haven't had a legitimate candidate in three elections.

That's kind of weird.

That's weirder than JD Vance, your friends on the left might want to think about democracy, because this looks nothing like it.

Back in a second. In my studio, I have the Holy Grail. I mean, really? The Holy Grail? Well, it's the holy Grail from Indiana Jones and the cup of the carpenter, and it is sitting in my office and we've recently put in, because I've been gone for so long, a simply safe system in my office and in the studios around some of the really precious stuff so we can see it at all times.

And, you know, if you want to steal the holy grail, well, you've chosen poorly because we have it protected by Simplisafe. You're, um, you're. By joining the Simplisafe family, you get something that you don't even have to think about. Uh, they can spot the criminal before he's inside the house, usually. But if he enters the house for sure, and they can spot him and react within 5 seconds, that's peace of mind. Every day, 24/7 monitoring plans for less than a dollar a day.

That takes us into something else that is very, very undemocratic and that is trying to save democracy by destroying the supreme Court.

First of all, this is not going to happen unless there's an emergency, which don't ever rule that out or they gain control of the House and the senate and the presidency.

If they do, this will absolutely happen.

The Supreme Court is under attack from the Democrats. Why?

Well, because they've had, what, 50 years of controlling the courts, and all of a sudden the tables have turned, and now you have people that are not controlled by the Republicans. Believe me, the Republicans are not happy with many of the things that are happening still at the Supreme Court.

But constitutionalists can live with that.

The Constitution cuts both ways. Sometimes it cuts your way, sometimes it cuts the other way, because it is meaning to be fair and honest and just and play by the same rules. If everybody plays by the same rules, then you're okay. It's when you start changing those rules or giving people exceptions, that's what matters. And when you have people on the Supreme Court that are no longer looking at the document, but they have an agenda. And if they have an agenda, then they become political, and it's not a political organization.

So the Democrats have been losing some key things like I can't pass. I can't give free money away without going through Congress. So I can forgive everybody. Student loan, that's a good thing. No president should be able to do that. How would you like it if Donald Trump, I don't even know what you think about it, decided to give away free money for, for all hookers?

I mean, that would be in your alley, right? Or is for, for hate mongers. He was going to give your tax dollars to people who would just hated America.

Well, the left is actually doing that. So I don't know.

He doesn't have a right to do that. He cannot spend my money. It has to go through Congress.

And that's one reason why they need the Supreme Court to change. Because the Supreme Court says, the constitution says all spending starts in Congress. You want to spend that money, change the law.

Ask Congress to give you the money. But they know they can't change the law. They don't have the votes. They know they can't spend the money because Congress will never go for it. So what do they do?

They just try to ram it through saying they know it's unconstitutional, but they're going to do it anyway.

Well, your last backstop for a congress or a president out of control is the supreme Court. And you can always tell and ask your friends and neighbors about this. Are you afraid of Donald Trump? Are you afraid of Joe Biden? Because if you are, that means the constitution is out of balance. The Supreme Court needs to rule and rein in the executive powers. And that's the other thing this Supreme Court is doing that the Democrats are trying to stop.

Glenn Beck
Hey, a couple things I want to talk to you about. First of all, tonight we are taking on the supreme Court and what the left is doing. You don't want to miss today's show. This is the final play for every author. Authoritarian regime all throughout history. These three words usually accompany a dictator every single time. Supreme Court reform. It is exactly the same that happened in Venezuela. See if any of this sounds familiar. Chavez wanted to pack the Supreme Court with more judges. He wanted limited term limits. He wanted to assure judicial autonomy with a code of ethics.

That is Chavez.

That is also Joe Biden and the left.

Tonight, I'll explore the reasons the left Supreme Court freak out and expose the money, the dark money groups that are campaigning to change and expand the court.

We'll also look at the leaks of decisions related to abortion and the left wing precedents for this kind of insider trading. Because it has happened before in America, and luckily it was stopped. Don't miss the Wednesday night special tonight at 09:00 p.m. blaze TV. And Thursday on my YouTube channel, YouTube.com glenn Beck. Why? Biden's final move is to destroy the supreme court. Also, I want to encourage you to not play into the weird stuff. JD Vance is weird. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, he is. He is. Well, let's. I mean, let's. Let me define my weirdness. I believe in God. Do you?

I believe in the Bill of Rights.

Do you? I believe in the Declaration of Independence. Do you?

I believe children are perfect the way they were born, and they were born either male or female. Do you? I believe the government spends way too much of my money and is the root cause of inflation. Do you?

I believe all people are created equal. I believe the best way of serving God is helping my neighborhood to get past tough times and to achieve. I believe in the individual over the collective. Do you know, most likely they don't. They think you're weird, and that's why they think you wear you're weird. So stand on your weirdness.

You are now in the minority. You're the outcast now. That's okay.

I'm keep JD Vance weird. That t shirt is available now at Glenn Beck Merch.

Okay, let me go to Stu, who has been looking at the poll numbers, because I'm hearing Stu Kamalay Harris is taking off. She is just like a rocket in the sky.

Stu
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
Can you fill us in on the polls?

Stu
It's interesting because she hasn't done anything yet. Like, isn't it, like, shouldn't. I mean, we haven't seen a big, massively successful speech or interview or press conference. In fact, there's not even a press conference scheduled. Donald Trump has one scheduled today.

But no, no, no real appearances. So how does that happen? It seems to me that this rollout that everyone is supporting and praising is really just the media changing its tune. The media is just deciding they like her now. So. And this is one of the things I talked about before Biden had dropped out. A lot of my friends and people around me would say, hey, like, why do you care that? Why are you always rooting for Biden to stay in the race?

And the reason for that is just because Kamala Harris's numbers were worse than Biden's before she was the candidate. That's not real reality. That's hypothetical nonsense. Right? It's like people guessing as how they might feel if she were the candidate. Now that she is, her numbers have improved, speaker one.

Pat Gray
And there's always a honeymoon period.

Stu
And there's a honeymoon period. And so that's kind of like what the interesting question is right now. Now, because she's. She's having this honeymoon period at some level, right? She's definitely tightened this race. If you look at these polls, what you will find is she's done at least as well as the pre debate Biden. So if you think of Biden really falling off a cliff at the debate, which, you know, falling off a clip, was still only a four point race. Even after all the craziness that happened with Biden, it was still only a four point race. But she's tightened that back up to where it was before the debate. Let me give you a couple of polling averages from a bunch of different sources. The economist has it at 47 47, six nationally.

Pat Gray
Is that, is that Trump or Trump?

Stu
Harris by one.

Pat Gray
Okay.

Stu
I think Trump's up in most of these, at least in real clear politics has it. Trump up by 248, 46. New York Times has it the same way. Trump, 48, Harris, 46.

Let's see.

Pat Gray
And these are national polls are national.

Stu
Trump 48 Harris 46.3 according to the Hill, Nate Silver is the one exception to this, his current polling average as of today. This has just been updated over the past few hours. Kamala Harris 44.4 Donald Trump 44.2 that's the first time I've seen that happen. Now, again, all these guys have a little bit of special sauce, a little bit of a, you know, different ways they calculate these things, they weight things different ways. With the exception of real clear politics. It's not just adding up a bunch of polls and dividing, and that is how they do it. But still, you get a general sense, basically, this is a really close election right now. A couple of things that I think are really interesting that are going on since Harris jumped into the race.

Number one is the RFK junior factor.

RFK junior was around, you know, 10% in the polls on a lot of these polls. I never believed he would hang up that high. And one of the reasons why I was more, I think, skeptical as to a blowouthe that when Biden was in than a lot of people was. Because at the end of the day, I feel like a lot of these Democrats who are saying they were going to vote for RFK junior were not going to wind up coming home toward the end when they realized it might be Donald Trump. They would come back to the democratic pile, if you will. And what we've seen since Harris jumped in is an acceleration of that process.

RFK junior has not collapsed completely nominee, but a lot of his support has gone away.

And in the entire lead up, when Biden was the nominee, what we saw in almost all polls was that Donald Trump was not hurt by RFK junior. What Biden was the one that was hurt. It was usually pretty close, but more voters came and left Biden and went to RFK than the other way around. So when you pulled RFK junior out, you'd see Biden get a little bit closer.

That is reversing itself with Harris in the race. The people who were disaffected Democrats who were not aligned with Biden because they thought he was too old or they just thought he was incompetent, they are embarrassed to be associated with him.

A lot of those Democrats have now pulled away from RFK and gone to Harris.

And the Trump contingent of RFK junior supporters has basically stayed the same. So now in these polls, what we're seeing is the reverse factor. RFK junior is hurting Trump more than he is hurting Harris. Now, as you point out, Pat, honeymoon period is a big factor here. Is that what we're looking at?

Pat Gray
Hope so.

Stu
It could just very well be. She's getting this bump. She's had no tough questions put to her yet. She's not had to explain any of her policy flip flops. We're going over those, by the way, tonight on Studoz America.

Pat Gray
And when people are reminded how extreme she is, she is a radical leftist who is the most liberal senator in all of the Senate in 2019.

Stu
Yes.

Glenn Beck
Jeremiah Wright. Yeah, Jeremiah Wright. Don't forget that. They didn't, it didn't matter to people.

Stu
And, and that's true. And if she's able to kind of maintain that Barack Obama invincibility that he had going into that 2008 election, it's going to be, she's gonna be very, very tough to be for the fact.

Pat Gray
That he was likable. She's not.

Stu
She's not.

Pat Gray
So I think a lot of that's gonna go away.

Stu
I think so, too. When she's exposed a little bit. The question is, can the media hide her? Can the media essentially do a Covid-19 era basement campaign thing with Kamala Harris where she makes speeches on stage? She's hidden the entire time. She never gets difficult questions asked to her. Can she, can they pull that off? Can they navigate those waters without the voters pushing so hard that eventually they have to give in and ask tough speaker one?

Pat Gray
Can they squelch the Kamala cackle? That's gonna be another.

Stu
That is gonna be a difficult.

Pat Gray
She's obviously trying to do that already.

Stu
She's not. Have you noticed that she's not been cracking up as hard as she normally does? She knows it's a weakness.

And so that's part of it. Another big part, Glenn and Pat, is the double hater factor. You remember the double haters. You go back to 2016. You have people who hate Donald Trump and hate Hillary Clinton. Where do they live?

Glenn Beck
Land.

Stu
Well, the majority of them landed with Donald Trump. He became president 2024. Happens. A lot of people still don't like Donald Trump. Some don't like Biden, though. He's kind of seen as more innocuous, sort of a filler, replacement level candidate. And Biden is able to be victorious. You go into this can't this campaign, and you have a lot of double haters. The Biden thing, he's no longer an innocuous candidate. He's a bad president. So now you have people who are looking at them. About 20% of voters say, we hate both of these guys, this is when Biden is in. That number now with Harrison has dropped from 20 to eight.

Pat Gray
Oh, wow.

Stu
So a lot of the people who were double haters were Biden, exclusive haters. And with Harris, they don't hate her yet. They may eventually begin to hate her.

Pat Gray
Does that include more black voters?

Glenn Beck
Well, they will if she becomes president, they'll hate her.

Stu
Yes. It's black voters, Pat, to your point. Black voters and young voters. Those are the two groups that are like, well, we don't like Biden. He's too old. We don't like him. But now you get affinity perhaps from the, as everyone likes to put everybody in racial groups and then also young voters who just, who are Democrats, who just couldn't take Joe Biden. He's like my great, great great grandpa. Obviously, he can't be president. So they were dropping out. Some of them were going to RFK. Some of them were going to Jill Steinhen. Some of them are going to Donald Trump.

Many of those have come back to Harris. Now, Harris is an empty vessel, I think, mentally, but also as a candidate. Right. Like, she's, she's not someone at this point where people have strong feelings about her. They just thought her, saw her as generally incompetent. But now they're, the excitement level is there solely because she's not Joe Biden?

Pat Gray
Let me ask you this. Are these voters for Kamala concerned about the significance of the passage of time?

Stu
There's no polling on that at all.

Pat Gray
Have they considered, you know, what can be unburdened by what has been?

Stu
I mean, I'm looking right now at the polls. None of these models account for that then.

Glenn Beck
Good.

Pat Gray
Yeah, that's very, these are wild card polls that don't really matter.

Stu
Well, but there are some polls that matter. For example, among people who love school buses, she's getting 95%, 4% of that vote.

Pat Gray
Okay.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Stu
And that is incredible. Huge in the Venn diagram contingency as well. She's right there. So those things, I think, are going to be big factors going into the election. I will say I don't, the danger is there, though. I mean, I think two, three, four weeks ago, even with all the, before the debate and certainly after the debate, everybody I talked to who's a big Trump fan wants Trump to win, was so confident, didn't think it was possible. And as you know, as I mentioned to them and ruined all their days many, many times when you have a dynamic that's as good as Trump versus Biden, you don't want that to change, and any change is risk. And while I still think he is the favorite, he, any change in that dynamic, and we've had a big one, is a risk to the Trump presidency. And if he doesn't find a way to push back and turn her into, to someone who can also be part of the double hater contingency, it's going to get difficult and very close.

Glenn Beck
Speaker one well, the nice thing is for them is that they could erase everything that they have done. They can erase, you notice nobody's talking about the trials of Donald Trump. Nobody's talking about that. Nobody's talking about locking him up, what a criminal he is. And none of that. They've jettisoned all of that because it wasn't working. And they've dramatically changed the landscape. That's a significant, significant thing, thing in, in this race. All right. More in just a minute. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

We'll be right back.

So my, my wife left the ranch today. She's got some stuff to do out in California. And so she left the ranch today. And I have Dennis Quaid coming tomorrow, and she was like, you gotta vacuum the floor. You gotta vacuum the floor. Make sure you dust it. And I'm like, it's not Jesus. Jesus is incoming.

It's Dennis Quaiden, and I'm doing an interview with him with the, you know, the Reagan thing, and I'm so. I'm sorely tempted just to go leaf crumbs all over the floor now, because he'll never notice. He'll never notice.

Never. If you walk into a house that smells like a litter box, you notice those things, you know?

But if you're generally clean, I think people are cool, you know? Don't you think? Or is that just the guy thing? Because my wife is like, it's got to be clean. It's got to be clean. Well, she's like that with everybody. Stu's coming over. We've known Stu for 20 years. We can't shake this guy, right? What do you, what do you mean we gotta.

Stu
And whatever. Whenever you think I'm coming over, I have an appointment, and I have to cancel. But I think, I know, I know.

I will say I'm married to a woman who vacuums approximately 12 hours a day. So I don't know what you're talking about. In fact, she will even vacuum. We'll be going out to dinner, and she'll vacuum when we. Right before we leave and then also when we get home. And it's like, well, what, what do you think occurred in this house in between when we just left for dinner and when we came back?

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Is there a possibility she's trying just to ignore you? Yes. Can't hear you over the vacuum?

Yeah.

Stu
Only 94% possibility, Glenn. I don't think it's higher than that.

Glenn Beck
Here's the, here's the worst thing that happens. The worst thing that happens with me is, uh, what was it, Monday or something? I vacuumed. She was gone, and I vacuumed. I cleaned, and I dusted, and she came home, and she pulls out the vacuum and dusting, and I think I did a really good job. I mean, I really thought it was pretty impressive, though, you know, I really worked hard at it. And I said, honey, I already did that. And she went, mm hmm. And then she just turned the vacuum on again.

Stu
Oh.

Glenn Beck
You know, you load the dishwasher, and then you come in, and she's reloading it because you. You loaded it incorrectly.

What? How.

How did you, how can you possibly load a dishwasher incorrectly? Do all the dishes come out clean? Yes.

Stu
You have the knowledge to write a movie script about my life Glenn. A biography about my life. You have all the knowledge now needed to describe it? No.

Glenn Beck
Every guy has this. Every guy. I look at my son and I'm like, you see? This is gonna be your life soon.
