The Media Is an Abuser & Americans Are the Victim | 7/29/24

This episode critiques the manipulation and bias within the media, arguing that American citizens are the victims of a deliberate campaign to control and confuse them.

1. The media often downplays or erases significant events to manipulate public perception.
2. Media tactics resemble abusive behaviors, such as lying and gaslighting, to control the narrative.
3. There is a growing disconnect between what is reported and the reality of events.
4. Public awareness and critical thinking are crucial in combating media manipulation.
5. Political leaders and the media are increasingly collaborating to control public perception, often at the expense of truth.

1: Media Manipulation

This chapter introduces the concept of the media as an abuser, likening their tactics to those used by manipulative individuals to control and confuse their victims.

• Glenn Beck: "The lies and manipulation of the media are astounding as they happen right in front of our eyes."

2: The Trump Assassination Attempt

Discussion about how the media minimized the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, questioning the integrity and motives behind such coverage.

• Stu Burguiere: "Why would they minimize a bullet being fired at a former president? It’s about controlling the narrative."

3: The MEND Project and Mental Abuse

Exploration of how the media's tactics align with definitions of mental abuse, as outlined by the MEND Project.

• Glenn Beck: "Lying is one of the most common tactics an abuser uses to gain power and control over their victim."

4: The Role of the Media in Politics

Analysis of how the media's bias shapes political narratives, particularly in how they handle stories about Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.

• Glenn Beck: "The media is all in lockstep, carrying water for Kamala Harris right now."

5: The Importance of Truth

A call to action for listeners to seek the truth and hold the media accountable for their actions.

• Glenn Beck: "We need to remind people what’s being erased because that’s the important stuff in this election."

1. Critically evaluate media sources: Don’t take news at face value; always consider the potential biases and motives behind reporting.
2. Seek diverse perspectives: Ensure you are consuming information from a variety of sources to get a well-rounded view.
3. Fact-check information: Verify facts independently before accepting them as truth, especially in politically charged news.
4. Be mindful of emotional manipulation: Recognize when media content is designed to provoke an emotional response rather than inform.
5. Support independent journalism: Consider subscribing to independent media outlets that prioritize truth over sensationalism.
6. Engage in discussions: Talk about media manipulation with others to raise awareness and foster a more informed community.
7. Use alternative search engines: When researching, use search engines that don’t manipulate results based on popular narratives.
8. Document important stories: Save and share articles or broadcasts that provide factual information before they are potentially erased or altered.

Google appears to have removed all search autofill suggestions for the attempted assassination of Trump. Does Big Tech think we're all stupid? New details are coming out about Trump's almost-assassination, and they bring up even more questions about the Secret Service's colossal failure. Glenn and Stu discuss the sudden media shift on Kamala Harris. Glenn looks at the different types of lies abusers use to their victims and the similarities with our current government. Kamala Harris' laugh is her biggest strength, according to the New York Times. Glenn goes through some of Kamala Harris' policies the media hopes you'll forget that prove she's a radical socialist. Glenn recaps the controversial opening ceremony of the Olympics but also praises Celine Deon's "powerful" performance. Glenn discusses Biden's latest attempt to go after the Supreme Court and the Left's manipulation of what SCOTUS is doing. The last thing before a country fully becomes a banana republic is changing the makeup of the Supreme Court.

We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.

Glenn Beck
Stand up straight.

It's a new day. I turn around.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. It is Monday and boy, we have some interesting things to talk about. I don't know if you saw the Olympics this weekend, the opening ceremonies. I have a lot to say about that and some of it may surprise you. We'll come up with that a little later on on the program. We have to get to the Supreme Court. Apparently Joe Biden is going to give a speech today where he is going to talk for the, talk about the dismantling of the Supreme Court because it's just too extreme right now. The lies and manipulation of the media. Just astounding as it happens right in front of our own eyes. You can see it happening in real time. It's unbelievable.

Also, some new information about the Secret Service and the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. We begin there and 60 seconds. Stand by.

I don't know, there's something just, I don't, I don't know, extra delicious about biting into a steak or a burger or a piece of chicken or even some delicious seafood, knowing that it was harvested here in the United States by local people with good ranchers you're getting meat that's source entirely from local farms and ranches here in the United States, which means you're getting the best of the best. No antibiotics, no added hormones, just pure, delicious meat. With these prime deals that are going on right now, you're not only getting incredible savings, also supporting american farmers with their July special, which is almost over. You'll get $100 off and free wagyu burgers.

I hate to sound like Homer Simpson, but wagu burgers, they're so good. Use the promo code. Beck@goodranchers.com dot don't go back to the meat aisle when you're already getting the best delivered to your home. Best part about good ranchers, they're built by people who care, honestly care.

And they have created a solution for all of us, a meat revolution, if you will. It's good ranchers.com. make sure you use the promo code. Beck goodranchers.com.

well, hello, stu.

Stu
Hey, Glenn.

Boring weekend. We saw the same candidates as a Friday. It was so weird.

Glenn Beck
I know. Thanks. I know. It's like, what's going on? Of course, you know, we did have that fun of the Olympics wherever, you know, they had a golden calf on the main stage, you know, for no apparent reason. I don't know what that's all about. We'll get into that a little later on in the program. And there is some news on the Donald Trump shooting, which I find, I don't know, kind of fascinating. First of all, the, the FBI came out after, after the FBI came out on, when was it? I, Thursday, and said we're not even sure if that was a bullet. It could have been a rabbit that went and hit his ear.

We're not really sure yet.

Now in the least shocking news of the day, the FBI has confirmed that Donald Trump was hit by a bullet or shrapnel of a bullet. We don't know, but it was at least part of a bullet. No longer, no longer looking at stray bunny rabbits in the area. Okay, good. So we got that for going for us.

Stu
Glenn, do you understand what the point of all the bullet truther thing stuff is like? My understanding of it is basically they're saying either it was a piece of metal from a bullet or it was a piece of glass that hit a teleprompter that everyone can see is fully intact still. Afterward, it hit a piece of glass and it hit him. But, like, why would that change the story at all, someone still fired bullets at him, right? Like, if it was something that was offline and deflected and only a piece of the shrapnel hit him, what. What would be the difference in the story?

Glenn Beck
The difference in the story was they're trying to minimize. You know, I saw that one of the reports that I saw this weekend said that it just merely grazed his ear. And that was the phrase, merely grazed his ear.

They're trying to do everything they can to minimize the heroic stance.

If he was only hit by a piece of glass, then he was never really in danger. If he was hit by a fragment, was he really in danger? And so it minimizes what he. I know. I'm not saying this is. Yeah, rational. I'm just saying this is what they're thinking. They've got to get people to get away from that image of Trump, you know, going down, having blood on his face, and then heroically standing up and saying, fight.

They have to destroy that, by the way, there. I mean, it is really, really amazing how this is happening. First they disappeared Biden and, you know, his record, and then they disappeared, uh, all of the stuff that Biden, you know, that they had said that, but no, Biden's great. He's. Are you kidding me? He's tip top. He's the smartest in the class. He's so awake, we we can't even. We beg him to go to sleep from time to time. They erased all of that when they started attacking him. Now they're erasing what they said about him. That was all the bad stuff. And they're making him into a hero again. And Kamala, who they hated, now they love, and at the same time, they're doing this. Have you noticed that they disappeared Donald Trump assassination from the autocomplete on Google.

He came within a quarter of an inch of a sniper's bullet.

If you type in to Google Trump assassination attempt, you have to put in the entire thing. It doesn't auto fill.

Now, why is that?

Why is that?

By the way, if you put in, I think it was Trump assassination, into chat GPT, and you ask chat GPT, can you tell me, you know, what happened with the Trump assassination attempt?

The chat GPT says, I'm sorry, I don't have the latest current information.

I can only work off of old stories.

And then you put in Kamala Harris, now becoming president from vice president. Can you give me the latest? And it gives you all the latest on Kamala Harris.

I mean, you can't have it both ways, guys. I mean, we're not this dumb. We're not this dumb, but apparently they think we are.

I don't know.

You're sure?

Stu
I mean, you made that as a dec. Really?

You declared that and you seem to be certain of it. Are you sure we're not this dumb? Because I think there's a chance that we're this dumb. When you look at the, when you say the royal we, I think we might as a country just be this dumb.

Glenn Beck
I think there's 48% of us that aren't this dumb.

Okay. Okay. That sounds a lot better.

Stu
I like that.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. I mean, I can't say it's the majority, but 48% of us are not this stupid. Have you heard now ABC went and sat down with the local SWAT team that was supposedly supposed to be on the roof. And they were like, the secret Service never even talked to us.

We were waiting for a briefing before we were there hours before. We never got a briefing the day before. Never got a briefing while we were there. We thought that was really odd because they always get together and brief us, but we weren't on the same channels. They never talked to us. You know, we started thinking things were going wrong. They, they had him, they had him pegged, I think, 2 hours beforehand.

And they had, they had radioed in several times and saying, hey, tell, tell the secret service there's this guy.

And they had been following him because 2 hours before, one of the guys from the local Swat team was leaving. He was checking out of work and he left and he said, hey, there's this guy on the picnic, at a picnic table about 200 yards away. He's watching everything we're doing and he's just seeing me leave. Now. You should keep your eye on him. And he took a picture of him and sent it in. And that was the guy.

Then they sent another thing to the secret service that said, hey, we've been watching this guy now for a couple of hours, and he's now outside of our building and he's snooping around. You should pay attention to him. What do we do? Nothing.

Now, what's that all about?

And how come the media, I mean, thank you, ABC, for actually airing this, but how come the media just doesn't seem to care about this?

Just. No, no.

And what do you know about CEO of Gab Stu, Andrew Torba?

Stu
I don't know anything about him, actually.

Glenn Beck
Okay, so what do you know about Gab?

Stu
I mean, Gab, if I remember correctly, was set up as sort of an alternative to Twitter when Twitter was seen as like, you know, this would be pre elon Twitter, and it was kind of like a, one of those potential right wing alternatives to Twitter when conservatives were being censored.

I think I've never used it, but I think it was one of those parlor was another one in that realm. If I remember, Gab got a reputation for being more of a, it was more associated with the alt right at the time. Yes. I don't know for sure if that's true, but that's what the, you know, the media was talking about.

Glenn Beck
That was my recollection as well. So Andrew Torba, he's the CEO, he said, Thomas Matthew Crooks may have had an account on our platform.

He discovered this after getting an emergency disclosure request from law enforcement agencies.

He said, I'm unable to confirm that it was definitely crooks, but it was somebody who he thinks was crooks. Posted on the site nine times total.

Thomas Crooks appears to have used the social media gab to spread messages in support of President Joe Biden. While the account made very few points post on the site, a majority of them were in support of President Biden. A number of posts in particular expressed support for President Biden's COVID lockdowns, border policies, and executive orders. In one, the poster mocked someone sharing an election projection writing, in February 2021. You didn't. You also think Biden would lose, lose in a landslide in 2020? I wouldn't be really confident in your election predictions. In another thread, the user defended Biden's border policies with a study that compared crime statistics for undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants, and american citizens in Texas. So we still don't have any idea what his motive was, which I think is at this point, I take as code as, yeah, he's definitely on the left, right?

Stu
Because we would. Because certainly, yeah, if the alternate were.

Glenn Beck
True, it would certainly know. You would certainly know. They never do this and say, we don't know. But, you know, we have a few Facebook posts that look like he was in support of Trump. They would just call him a maga guy. That's all they would do.

So you got that going for you.

Stu
It is difficult to call someone a MAGA guy when what they've done is fire a bullet at the guy who created the MaGA slogan, or at least popularized it. It just seems to be kind of a weird stance. I don't know that people would go along with that, but as you point out, well, 48% of people are there, and I don't know about the rest at this point. So maybe it would work. It, see, I mean, what they're trying to do with Kamala Harris, they obviously think they can make people believe anything.

They, you know, do you see the New York magazine cover?

Camelot.

Like, not Camelot, but Camelot.

Glenn Beck
Camelot, Camelot.

Stu
It's, this is, this is the, this is the summary. In a matter of days, the Democratic Party discovered its future was actually in the White House all along.

Like this person, they've been, they have been reporting negatively on four years, for years, because at the time, what served them was Joe Biden's narrative that he was the one doing all the work and she was actually kind of a failure and not really doing anything. And while Biden's side was leaking that stuff to the media, they happily reported it. And now that it benefits them that Kamala is actually a genius and she's Barack Obama 2.0, and look how amazing she is now that that's the narrative that benefits them, that's the one they peddle to the seemingly 52% here.

Glenn Beck
I have a question for you that I hadn't thought of until I read that story and other stories today.

And I want to pose it to you and see where you are because I may be changing my opinion a little bit on something. We'll get to there in just a second. Stand by. First, our sponsor is relief factor sleep. Welcome to another installment of deep thoughts with Glenn Beckley. Today's memorable and important message is this.

It's always lose lose for us, win win for them.

That's definitely, we just destroyed the United States, but we were trying for the world. Oh, well, you know what I mean.

And I've been thinking that it was just Dei and everything else that they got Kamala for. But what do you think of this? That this was kind of their design the whole time, that if he made it, great. If not, she is a puppet that will do everything that they want her to do anyway. And she's even more left than Elizabeth Warren or anybody that she was serving with in the Senate. She may be the biggest leftist over Bernie Sanders in politics today. And so she comes in with all of the COVID of Joe Biden.

Stu
Yeah. And she could, you know, could Kamala Harris win a primary? I mean, we obviously saw that the answer to that in 2020 was no. I mean, even in this situation, even if Biden had dropped out in January and opened it up, she probably doesn't win the primary.

So this is a way to get her as the candidate.

And, you know, as you point out, she's not a moderate. This is not a person who's aligned with the average american.

She is someone who has been incredibly liberal. And thank God she ran in 2020, because if she didn't, if she was just kind of plucked up as a VP candidate and not, hadn't just run a campaign, we wouldn't have seen her revealing all the stuff that she actually believes. She went on that stage and had to compete with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and blurted out a lot of stuff that is now on record that she kind of didn't admit before. So thank God she ran.

But again, the media is not going to cover it. They're going to make her out to be. I mean, it's common lot, right? That's what they're going to do. And it's.

Glenn Beck
Right.

Stu
It's only been, I mean, we talked about this at the time. If Kamala Harris is the nominee, they're going to make her out to be the greatest person of all time. They're going to completely reverse themselves on her and this period will be, you know, this period of doubt, how well she's doing on the border, that she's not well liked, that her staff doesn't like her. All these things that have been leaked out there is all going to go disappear. It has been breathtaking how quickly they've done it, though. It has been breathtaking.

Glenn Beck
I mean, oh, it's, it's incredible how fast things have been deleted and gone down the memory hole. And by the way, I just want to remind you, read 1984. The memory hole is really, really important.

That's what they did to people who they were torturing and, and who were standing against the state. They would show them the evidence during the torture. Oh, you mean this picture? Oh, you saw this with your eyes. Oh, you remember this? And then they would shove it into a hole in the wall and it would be incinerated.

See, that doesn't exist.

I mean, it's so important that you understand what's being done.

It is really, truly insidious.

But apparently people are fine. Only 37% of Biden voters were enthusiastic about him in early July.

Now, 81% of Harris voters are enthusiastic about her. Now, this is done by a democratic pollster, but it's roughly true to buy into that.

Stu
Yeah, it's roughly true. You can see numbers that are similar in plenty of public polling. And it's, look, it's obvious one of the big problems they had with Biden was that he was old and lethargic. And, you know, it was 86% of voters overall, not just Democrats. 86% of voters said that they thought he was too old to be president and run again, and they turned that. The last number I saw on Kamala Harris on that number was two.

So they turned their biggest problem from 86% to 2%. That's some, that's a positive. I mean, yes.

Glenn Beck
Kamala Harris trying to label.

Stu
Yeah. You know, yes, she's liberal. Yeah, she has word salads. Those are all things. But, I mean, over and over and over again, I was talking to people that I know and they were like, oh, who cares if Biden drops out? Kamala's not going to be a threat. She probably is still the underdog here, but she's much more difficult to beat than Biden was. Biden was a corpse.

Glenn Beck
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely true.

Trump is still leading in, you know, places where he can't counts. National polls don't make any difference. You've got to look at the local polls and especially the swing states, and Donald Trump is still up by two points there. But there's a lot of ground to cover in between.

So, Stu, I found something on themendproject.com. this is a place that helps people get away from mental abuse and physical abuse.

And now I'm only reading it just because, you know, I'm not, I'm not tying this to anything because somebody said to me, I read it, you know, here at home, my wife was like, I think I see what you're saying. And I'm like, I'm not saying anything. I'm talking about mental abuse. I'm talking about people, unlike the people broadly in the United States of America being mentally abused. I'm just talking about people who are in a situation and need to get out of. Okay, make no mistake, this is from an abusive get away from abuse website. Make no mistake, lying is a type of abuse. We all lie sometimes, don't we? So when is it abusive? Lying is one of the most common tactics an abuser uses to gain power and control over their victim. Lying confuses the victim's reality while helping the liar to shrink from their responsibility in the situation, often shifting the blame to the victim.

Bosses, significant others, friends, family may use lying as a form of COVID emotional abuse. Lying also paves the way for other types of abuse, such as physical abuse. While everybody makes mistakes or even little lies, but they can quickly culminate into full on manipulation of a person or a situation. A central element to covert abuse is stressful confusion. You have an example, maybe of that, Stu? Stress. Stressful confusion. This is the emotion abusers want their victims to feel when lying to them. The covertly abusive tactic of lying increases the victims anxiety levels and cause their thinking to become clouded. A confused victim is less likely to respond quickly, to go with their gut, or confront the liar.

Okay, now that's the open. Now let me give you a few and just see if you can find any example. I know you're not abused, Stu, but maybe you know somebody that is being abused.

Black lies.

One, black lies are bald faced lies the abuser uses to gain something for themselves at the cost of the one being deceived. Think for an example of a realtor who lies about the condition of underground plumbing into a home to get a higher price for its sale and thereby gains a better commission. In other words, the realtor exploits the buyer's lack of current knowledge out of self interest.

Similarly, a common lie used by abusers is I deposited the check. However, if that check was deposited into the abuser's personal account instead of the joint account, the abuser has gained financial power over the victim. If the check was never deposited, the perpetrator then gains power of confusion and anxiety when the victim wonders where the money went or if the money ever existed to begin with.

Upon further inspection, some of these deceptions can be identified. However, at their core, these lies are statements used by abusers to gain something over the victim, power, money, status, or control.

I'm sorry, you probably don't relate to any of this, Stu, because I'm just talking to people who are being abused.

White lies.

Everybody knows this type of deception, which is unfortunately, common. White lies are small seeming, dismissive obstructions of reality that are harder to disprove. They are sometimes used for good reasons, such as telling a friend you like her new haircut when you don't, so you won't hurt her feelings. Because white lies are less traceable, however, they carry greater power to manipulate others. Their most insidious use is when the abuser tells white lies about the victim to others, because those lies slowly influence others to view the victim in a different light. Can you think of an example?

For an example, during particularly stressful times, an abuser may tell friends and family that everything is good. We're just fine. However, the victim's behavior makes him or her appear erratic, unpredictable, and at times unstable to those close to the couple. Over time, this tactic effectively isolates the victim from others. Each individual lie might be too small to notice or address at first, but over time and with repetition, they will successfully shift others perception of the individual.

Three half truths half truths are versions of what happened that helped the abuser to avoid responsibility in a situation. The liar relies on the fact that they are telling just enough of the truth to seem credible, for example, recounting a disagreement by saying he yelled at me while leaving out the events which led up to the yelling. This omission of important facts paints a picture that is more favorable for the abuser.

Four broken promises this form of lying is difficult for abusers to accept. When confronted, they will attempt to give themselves the benefit of the doubt. An abuser who promises to come by your work party then breaks that promise by refusing to show up at the last minute is a liar. They will try to excuse their actions by claiming that they had a hard day or didn't think you really wanted them to come. Like the white lie, broken promises can make the victim look bad in front of others. Remember, a broken promise is the same as a lie forgetting. Similar to broken promises claiming to forget a commitment or an obligation such as oh, I forgot, you wanted me to be home early tonight is manipulation.

It can convince the victim that the abuser made a simple mistake. Constant forgetfulness should not be dismissed.

And then finally, denial.

Liars are so comfortable with telling lies that they will do anything to avoid getting caught or taking responsibility, even if that means flat out denying the truth, no matter how obvious it may be. If someone denies the reality of facts and evidence when presented, they are likely a liar. Remember, emotionally healthy people do not habitually lie, especially concerning relationships with loved ones. Transparency transparency should be sought after because that's what connects people. A genuinely loving partner, parent, sibling, friend, etcetera, will not continually lie, and that is what divides people and prevents authentic relationships. Any combination and frequency of these types of lies should be noted and addressed.

If this blog helps you see the lies you're facing from a partner or another, maybe a president or any I did what? I just lost my place here. Anyway, I just thought that was interesting about how lies are mental abuse and gosh, I don't know if you saw any use in any of that in your own life, but if you were constantly being lied to, you should make a concerted effort to avoid that liar because they are manipulating you.

My gosh, I just thought of this.

This could be applied to the media and to the left.

Holy cow. Cause black lives, white lives, half truths, broken promises and I forget that. Did I say that? I don't even know I said that.

Huh?

Interesting.

Stu
Hard to know if that was an abuse site that you were reading from or an internal democratic campaign strategy memo.

Really does describe how the press. Yeah, the press for sure.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, the press. That's the thing. I mean, the one thing about politicians lie. Politicians have always lied, told half truths, et cetera, et cetera. The difference here now is it's not just a politician.

It's the entire system around that politician.

It's the entire party around that. And then it's the one that is supposed to be your friend.

If you had a friend and you found out they were in cahoots with the abuser, somebody was lying to you and they were telling you it is you. It really is you. No, it's anybody who tells you that he's not a good guy.

I'm telling you right now, they're part of the problem.

You know, they're probably abusive. You need to stay away from them because they'll abuse you.

That's the real problem. Politicians lie all the time. We know that.

Stu
And I don't know, there's something about this era that makes it more difficult and the lies, more toward the black lies than the white lies. You know, there, there is that. I was just listening to somebody, some analysts talking about this, and they were talking about, it was in the realm of conspiracy theories. And they were saying that a lot of people online that spread conspiracy theories are more capable of doing it because there's so much out there, like they will, they'll make some crazy claim this is gonna happen at noon, you know? You know, and it doesn't happen. But there's so much other stuff going on, so many other claims that person will wind up reading that day, so many other news stories that in three days, they don't necessarily remember the guy who said something was going to happen at noon and it didn't happen. And so we get, like, immune almost to people making claims and being wrong. We don't discount them anymore. We don't have that same process. You know, I constantly go back and it's this, like, antiquated history, but thinking that, you know, John Kerry arguably lost the election for the claim of, I actually did support the $87 million before I voted against it or whatever that quote was. That was a big part of that because he, it seemed like he was, he just was lying. He had this stance and he just wanted to reverse it to win this election. And the american people kind of rose up and were like, that's crazy. We can't vote for a guy who does that. Like, now that's so quaint.

Like, saying that you voted for a policy.

Glenn Beck
It is like a covered wagon. Yeah.

Stu
It feels like you're on the Oregon trail. Like, you know, it really, it's insane. And I think, like, part of that is like, is what's happening here.

They, the media with, I think, in the Trump era in particular, has taken the mask off and said we no longer can be this subtle force leaning on the scale a little bit to push voters toward the thing we want. It's, this is too important. Donald Trump's too evil. Conservatives are too bad. We now have to straight out be activists. We have to be left wing partisan operatives all the time.

And it doesn't matter if we just said Kamala Harris was actually abusive to her staff and couldn't get anything done and failed on the border, as the borders are, we now have to just say, she was never the border czar, and she's wonderful, and everyone around her loves her, and this is common lot, and we just have to reverse ourselves, and that's it. And we just push through it. And that is a. It is a. It's not that much different in goal, but it is totally different in approach, and it's so in our faces. And yet, you know, a good chunk of the american people don't see it because they don't want to see it. They want to believe their side is right. They want to believe their side is just that they're fighting this moral crusade. And so they just go along with it. And, I don't know, is it going to work? It didn't work in 2016.

Joe Biden's currently somehow president of the United States. So I guess maybe it did work in 2020.

Does it work again in 2024?

The media did seem to control this election in a way I didn't think it was possible. They got the. They got the candidate thrown out. The guy who won the primary is no longer the candidate because largely the media decided to become journalists for two weeks.

Glenn Beck
It was a coup.

It was a coup. It was an orchestrated coup.

Stu
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
And if they can do whatever they want with the laws and the media and everything else, uh, we know that there's all kinds of, uh, plotting and planning. Otherwise, the White House would have said what they were doing to get all new registered voters, uh, which was the first one. I think the first executive order that he signed was an all hands on deck, register voters for the next four years, all government wide. Uh, and they won't disclose what that means or what they've been doing, uh, which is an abuse, again, of our money and of our trust. Uh, but they won't abuse that. If they can, uh, fix the election, they will fix the election.

Um, and they will feel justified because the threat is too big. The ends always justify the means. All right, back in just a minute. Uh, are you living off the grid, and I mean completely off the grid, like you're listening to the show on a crank radio or something? You've got no phone, no computer, no Internet, and no smart refrigerator, none of that stuff in.

If so, what do you know that I don't know? You would also probably need lifelock. It might be safe, but let's be real.

It's probably not you that is off the grid like that. You might not need lifelock, but you might.

But if you're totally off the grid, nothing is online. Maybe, but it's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft affect all of our lives, especially when you're connected, like you and I are.

She wrote with me chasing embers, and she came to me just a couple of weeks ago, and she's like, Glenn, somebody stole the title from my house. I can't believe it. I feel like I'm a commercial, and I'm like, well, you're not a commercial. And fortunately, you didn't listen to the commercial, but you will be a commercial. You're a commercial right now, Michaela.

So, where is your money going when you start investing it? What are the things that you might be funding that you don't even know about? You know, I think we were just talking about this. It feels like the world is more and more out of control every single day, and you have to focus on the things that you can control.

If you watched the Olympics. You may note that the world has gone a little woke, a little crazy, and you probably have avoided those types of companies. When youve gone to purchase things in stores. Thats important. It really is. But constitution wealth can help you with maybe even a bigger chunk of this because your investment dollars may be hundreds of thousands of dollars. Were talking about that youre saving up for investment that might be in accounts and funds. You dont even really look at hundreds of thousands of dollars supporting the same companies that you're avoiding buying in the stores. That doesn't make any sense, right? Align those things, you can still get great returns. There's great companies out there. And you can reduce your investments in ESG and DEI and all that nonsense. Avoid it. If you want to avoid it, you can reduce all those investments. And if you do that, you can help fight the culture war, help support the parallel economy with your money and your voice. This is really important and something that not everybody thinks about. But you can do make a difference here with the people at constitutional wealth. They know this stuff. They can get you. They can navigate you around the waters you want to avoid. It's constitutionwealth.com blaze, constitutionwealth.com blaze and get a free consultation today. Talk to these people. You like them.

My new book, Chasing Embers. It is a novel that ties right into finding the truth. And how much is the truth worth? Worth? It's a young adult fiction book, but we're getting all kinds of reviews. I purchased this book by a 14 year old daughter. She read it in one day. She loved it. She put the book down and said, when's the next one coming out? No cursing, no inappropriate material, no agenda, just good storytelling. I started it for myself. My 13 year old son rented in a weekend and can't wait for the next one to come out. Got this book yesterday. As an adult, I've enjoyed it so much. I know my children will as well. Great story. Very much needed in these times when history is being rewritten before our eyes.

It is to help our children and you. I think you'll enjoy this, this thriller as well.

It's a great way to understand what's going on, what the consequences are of not speaking out, and then what the consequences are in the aftermath of speaking out after it's a little too late. It's called chasing embers. Make sure you get it. Wherever books are sold, it's out now and you can rate and review it. It helps us with the book reviews. It helps us with the sales. You can go to Amazon or wherever you rate and review books and give it a rating and a review for us, if you will. It's chase embers, available everywhere now. The Glenn Beck program. There was a time when american manufacturing was the envy of the world.

It was if it was made in America, it was the quality the world trusted.

Most of that is gone now. Eleven years ago, american giants set out to change that. They started producing quality american clothing with american cotton grown by american fire farmers. The american workers were all the way through every step of the way. It created jobs for sewers, cutters, factory workers in towns all across the country. Jobs that bring pride, purpose, and stitch people together.

This month, as we celebrate our independence, I ask you to support the vision and the craftsmanship and the determination of american giant. They produced a great looking t shirt in three colors that says American made across the chest. Wear it proudly to all your cookouts and whatever it is that you're doing this summer.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment, entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America. Welcome to Monday. This is the Glenn Beck program. And, oh, I've got a few topics that I want to address. First of all, Kamala Harris and that world famous laugh of hers. I mean, don't we all love it?

We all just, it's so great.

Apparently, it apparently is not a vulnerability. According to the New York Times, it's her most effective weapon.

Get ready for this one.

Also, we talk about the Olympics and the opening ceremonies coming up. Stand by. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

Would you like to be less woke than the Secret Service?

Yes. Okay, how about this? Would you like to have better communication than the secret service? Wow. Yes, again, huh? Well, I mean, based on what we've seen lately, that shouldn't be too hard to accomplish, should it? As it turns out, it's not. You can switch your mobile phone service to a company that's going to give you amazing service with all on the major towers, with a company that is absolutely not woke. But they are wide awake and an absolute great price as well. In fact, when you switch Patriot mobile, you're going to get a whole month for free. Great way to start your new service. They're America's only christian conservative mobile company and their mission is to passionately defend our God given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always, which was not the intent or the mission statement, I think, of the Olympics. But what do I know? They offer dependable nationwide coverage, so you can access any of the three major networks that everybody's on. They have affordable, excellent plans, and their 100% us based customer service team is going to help make switching really easy. Go to patriot mobile.com Beck, or call 972 patriot, patreonmobile.com Beck, 972 patriot.

Okay, if you've been watching the news, as Stu and I have been, and as we discussed last hour, the transformation of the media is absolutely astounding. How they have gone from we don't like Kamala to she's the greatest is amazing.

There's a video editor, Mays Moore, and he made a montage of the media hating on Kamala Harris. Listen, cut ten, please.

Speaker
There are reports that say that you.

Glenn Beck
Have the lowest approval rating of any vice president.

Speaker
Well, there are polls that also say I have great approval ratings.

Glenn Beck
Swing voters don't like Harris. How big a drag is Kamala Harris on the ticket? She's a pretty big drag.

Stu
I think she was arguably Biden's worst political decision.

Speaker
They don't like her. There's lots of reasons they don't like her.

Glenn Beck
Kamala Harris approval rating is now at.

Stu
28%, which is an historic low for any modern vice president.

Glenn Beck
We're hearing it from mainstream media. One outlet after another, one leak after another.

Kamala Harris is the worst vice president ever. The worst politician ever.

Stu
We don't see the vice president.

Glenn Beck
What people are saying to me, and.

Stu
I'm sure they're saying it to you. Where is the vice president? Some White House officials feeling that she came off looking unprepared for inevitable questions.

Glenn Beck
About when she might visit the southern border.

Speaker
We've been to the border.

Glenn Beck
You haven't been to the border, and.

Speaker
I haven't been to Europe. And I don't. I don't understand the point that you're making.

Glenn Beck
The point that Lester Holt was making was, was obvious to anyone else who was watching this interview, which is that.

Speaker
The issues at the border are inextricably.

Glenn Beck
Linked with the portfolio that she's been given.

Speaker
The border is secure. We have a secure border. Biodynamics is working.

Prices have gone up, and families and individuals are dealing with the realities of that bread costs more, that gas costs more, and we have to understand what that means.

That's about the cost of living going up.

Glenn Beck
He picked Kamala Harris to be his running mate. She was ranked and is ranked as.

Stu
The most liberal senator in the United States Senate.

Glenn Beck
So he could have gone the other way, but he went, he went to the left.

Speaker
Joe Biden is running for reelection and I will be his ticketmate.

Glenn Beck
Full stop.

Speaker
Post up.

Sit.

Glenn Beck
Ok. They didn't like her for years. Listen to this from the New York Times.

A comedy critic weighs in on Kamala Harris. Laugh Kamala Harris has an easy laugh.

To the campaign running against her, this appears to be a vulnerability to exploit. Donald A. J. Trump jumped on it when unveiling a nickname for her recently, laughing Kamala Harris, adding, you can tell a lot about a laugh. Complications of her guffawing circulated online this week. Opposition research from the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Her inappropriate laughter under the subject heading weird.

Well, the first thing to say about this is simply, lol.

Far from a liability, her laugh is one of the most effective weapons.

Only in an era where everything gets politicized would a campaign come out aggressively against a boisterous laugh. What's next? Running against puppies and ice cream?

LAUGhtER transcends party politics, and it's helped the messaging from everyone from Ronald Reagan to John F. Kennedy. And yet, in his bluntly insinuating style, Trump is tapping into something that the traditional image of leadership is more of a stoic face than a happy convulsion.

Now, could you just play some of the things, Sarah, that we have where she's laughing and just tell me if this is an asset or a liability and he's just the school bus thing and anything where she's just in love with it.

I love school buses.

Stu
She does love the school buses. Huge fan of school buses. School buses. Venn diagrams what was. I could never think of the wording of it, but it's unburdened by what has been unburdening, whatever that is, whatever she's been unburdened of.

Speaker
You know what also excites me?

Among the many things I'm excited about? Electric school buses.

I love electric school buses.

I just love them for so many reasons. Maybe because I went to school on a school bus.

Raise your hand if you went to school on a school bus.

Right through the lens of something I love, which is to always think about complex issues through the frame of a Venn diagram. I love Venn diagrams.

Glenn Beck
I do.

Speaker
I love Venn diagrams. So see, what I'm saying is nerdy. I'm just saying it is the caribbean nations, island nations in the western hemisphere, that is where the Caribbean is. We are also in the western hemisphere. They are our neighbors.

Glenn Beck
What?

Speaker
So Ukraine is a country. In Europe, it exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that's wrong.

But inspired by also our collective ability to see what can be unburdened by what has been.

Glenn Beck
Mm. Okay.

Whew. There's a lot here.

Only in an era where everything gets politicized would a campaign come out aggressively against laughter. We've been here before. The last time a woman led a presidential ticket, Hillary Clinton's laugh was criticized and also called weird. There was a suggestion that it made her seem inauthentic, made her seem into inauthentic. She is inauthentic, which is a bizarre point, since genuine laughter is, if not involuntary, then very hard to fake. Lenny Bruce once dared a crowd to try it four times in an hour. Calling women overly emotional or hysterical is a sexist trope. Have you heard anybody call her emotion overly emotional or hysterical because of her laughs?

Stu
Still, I I have not heard that. No. Insane.

Glenn Beck
And there's a lot of that. There's a long history of positioning laughter in opposition to reason. Plato warned against the love of laughter, suggesting it indicates a loss of control.

Ever alert to the theater of power, Trump rarely laughs. Watching interviews with both candidates, it's clear there's a sizable disparity in laughter.

Trump scoffs and occasionally smirks, which can be a cloud, a crowd pleaser. But chuckling just isn't his thing. On talk shows, Harris does it to deflect and connect, to establish intimacy, but also to underline the absurdity of something like school buses. And it's most effusive. Her laugh can draw attention to itself, and taken out of context, it can see as if she's the only one in on the joke. Harris has said she got her guffaw from her mother, but that's not only her laugh. In her debut campaign speech, she even got a big response for muffling a snicker after saying that her passed, uh, her mother would say uh or no in her past, that she had taken on perpetrators of all kinds. This hint of a laugh set ups her most successful stump line so far. So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump's type.

The case of laughing. The case of laughing is that it makes a leader come off less serious. This rests on a common misunderstanding that laughter is primarily a response to something funny. Research over the past few decades has backed up what philosophers have said for over a century, which is that laughter is inherently social, more about relationships and communications than jokes. Try to recall the last time you laughed alone. Well, it was about an hour ago when I read this story for the first time, Shakespeare was fascinated by performance of leadership. He goes into Henry the fourth and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Properly utilized, laughter, a wildly flexible form of communication, can do more than any argument. People cite Ronald Reagan saying, there you go again, to Jimmy Carter as a memorial, as a memorable moment after their second presidential debate in 1980. But what they mentioned less often is that he introduces the line with a chuckle.

Harris does something similar in her now viral line, quoting her mother, saying, you think he just fell out of a coconut tree?

Imagine her trying to say that without following it up with a booming laugh. The line becomes harsher. In letting Luca Gavaz, she displays affection mixed with a wry ribbing.

It goes on and on and on in the New York Times. But most laughter in the real world is not callous but connective, not exclusionary, but unifying. Laughter can also communicate nervousness, but it can also calm it. A traditional image of a leader might not be a mouth agape, but we do not live in the conventional time. Donald Trump is evidence. Whatever you think about Kid rock and Hulk Hogan at the republican convention, their appearances are a testament to the importance of a good time in politics. Democrats have often ceded this territory in recent years, and that can carry a cost as much as not appearing presidential. So what does a laugh say about a person?

That she's human in a divided country. It's something we all do and enjoy. And as anyone who has hung out with friends late into the night knows, it's contagious. That's a powerful political tool.

As the poet Ella Wilcox wrote, laugh and the world laughs with you.

Stu
That is a Kamala Harris level column.

It is.

That column is equivalent to her vice presidency.

It is a just catastrophic bore.

Glenn Beck
Guys.

Stu
So who is there a person who would like that column? I mean, I don't care if you're the biggest Kamala Harris supporter in the world. Are you looking at that being like, this is a really good piece of analysis on this. I'm glad they broke down our laughter.

Is there anyone in the world who thinks this.

Glenn Beck
Think that this probably had to be assigned by an editor?

So somebody was looking at all the things that they were saying about her? Yeah. Okay. Debunk that she was the border czar. Make sure that you get on that she wasn't, you know, as crazy leftist as everybody thinks she was, and they keep talking about her laugh. Who can do something on her laughter?

I mean, this is just, the New York Times has become talking points.

They're defending her laugh.

Stu
It's pathetic.

Glenn Beck
Who's comfortable with that laugh? I don't think she's even comfortable with that laugh. It seems like it's so staged and inauthentic.

Stu
Yeah. And I'll say, too, like, I don't know if we're now breaking down her laugh. And I realize the somewhat irony of that at this point. But, like, I think I like, it's not even her laugh. It's how absurd the laugh is timing wise. Like, it occurs at times when you're not supposed to laugh. Like, I don't think her laugh in and of itself is the problem. The problem is she'll say something like, I love school buses.

It's like, wait a minute, that's not how humans interacted.

Glenn Beck
What?

Stu
It feels alien. She laughs at times when there's no jokes, and she laughs hard, like it's the funniest thing in the world. And it seems more like something she's doing to cover up the awkwardness of what she said or to delay so that she can try to figure out what she's supposed to say next. Like, she uses it as a tactic to give herself time to think of something to say when in a difficult moment. I mean, she does it a lot in those interviews, those calm interviews where someone says, like, well, you know, you, by the way, the borders are thing, that doesn't seem to be working out well. Yeah.

And it's like, as a response to delay an awkward moment or to just like push her through something she's saying that doesn't make any sense. It's not like the laugh itself is particularly offensive. It's how she uses it.

Glenn Beck
This weekend I was just tracking how the media is just erasing things from history, just erasing them and completely erasing their own fingerprints on all of it.

And this is one of the stories that came up was this laughter thing. And I thought, you know, we just need to show people it's not about her laugh. This is, this is about not her. This story is about the media, the links that they will go to. What I mean, it is, everyone is on deck carrying water for Kamala Harris right now.

We need to remind you what they're erasing because that's the important stuff in this election. We'll do that in 60 seconds.

Okay.

You know, I was thinking back the other day when, you know, when we had a good economy in this country, a little surprised to realize that it really wasn't that many years ago, just kind of hit you sometime, you know, inflation wasn't out of control four years ago. Market was up, businesses were booming, people could buy houses. We hadn't entered the age of the ice cream president yet.

I hope those days are coming back, and soon. But in the meantime, how's your financial householding up? No matter what your answer is, let me make a suggestion. Take some time today and give american financing a call. They're going to go over and look at your finances and see if there's some areas that could be improved. For instance, your mortgage really can be made to work for you, and it can help you get out of the high interest debt fast. That's the kind of thing that happens when people get in touch with american financing. Please, as always, don't take my word for it. Do your own homework. It's not right for everybody, but it, it could save your house.

They say she often presents a narrative that she hails from Oakland as a typical african american experience and is a mainstream Democrat. That is all false. First, she was born in Oakland because neighboring Berkeley, where her family lived, didn't have a major hospital. According to her birth certificate, Kamala lived at 25 31 Regent street in Berkeley, not Oakland. Later, before moving to Montreal, she lived at 1227 Bancroft Way in Berkeley. Her mother, an immigrant from India, worked at a Berkeley lab. Both her mother and her father, who immigrated from Jamaica and is of Afro jamaican and irish heritage, received PhDs from the University of California, Berkeley, where they met. This upbringing is very different from somebody such as Tim Scott, the Republican from South Carolina, a black man who grew up in South Carolina and whose mother was a nursing assistant, or JD Vance, who came from an impoverished Appalachia. In her autobiography, Harris writes about often bring being brought to protest marches in a stroller and see a sea of legs moving about the energy and the shouts of the chance. She was raised in the far left Berkeley culture of the 1960s and seventies.

She went to college. She failed her California bar exam the first time that happens to a lot of people. She eventually took a job at the San Francisco district attorney's office at the age of 29 after she began dating speaker of the California Assembly Willie Brown.

Willie appointed her to the high paying state commissions and helped elect her as San Francisco's district attorney. This launched her in the path of the Senate.

Congressional ratings group tell her tale of her time in the Senate. Based on her votes, Harris was rated the most liberal member of the Senate in 2019, further left than either Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren by the nonpartisan group GovTrack. The liberal advocacy group Americans for Democratic Action, which also compiles ratings based on major votes, gave her a perfect 100 score in 2017 and 2018. 100% perfect liberal.

The Conservative Club Club for Growth, which race based on economic, tax and regulatory issues, gave her a lifetime rating of 9%.

Progressive punch list Harris as one of their five most progressive senators, with a rating of 96.76 out of 100, ahead of Sanders 94%.

The conservative action group gave Harris a rating of zero in the 116th Congress and a 4% lifetime score.

So she is very, very left. But let's hear it from her own mouth before it's all erased. Glenn Beck if your dog had opposable thumbs, what would he do with him? Probably steal your credit card and your car, and then he'd drive off, find someplace he could buy a burger. I'm just saying.

Why? Because you, you buy him that boring, disgusting kibble, you know, so it's kind of our fault because, you know, our dog wouldn't have gone off with the car and bought burgers if we wouldn't have been feeding him kibble. At least kibble that didn't have anything on top of it. I mean, what is ice cream without chocolate sauce? And that's what rough greens is, except it's healthy for your dog.

Before science inevitably creates dog thumbs, you might want to invest in some rough greenshouse. Not a dog food. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor that you sprint doctor Dennis Black that you sprinkle on top of the dog's food. Remember, brown food is dead food. You want the greens, you name it.

Stu
Book, Chasing Embers, is out. Now you can get it at glenn beck.com or wherever you get your books.

Glenn Beck
I want to show you, in her own words, why I think Kamala Harris is a. Is an absolute extremist and extraordinarily dangerous, and people are not going to be talking about these things on the left, and media won't show it to you. So I ask you to grab today's podcast and earmark it. So if you ever need to share this with your friends, you know where it is. Here is a flashback from Kamala Harris where she is speaking at the Islamic center of Southern California. Listen to this.

Speaker
And you must have the courage to object when they use that term, radical islamic terrorism, which ignores how Muslims have overwhelmed, been the greatest victims of terror, also have the courage to reject that term, illegal alien.

Glenn Beck
Okay, so she's telling this group of Muslims in this mosque that they have to stand up and end the use of the words radical islamic terrorism.

Well, okay, so then what, what kind of terrorism is it then, if we don't have radical islamic terrorism, if it's just terrorism, how do you fight that? Because is that the same terrorism that you've classified as moms speaking out at school board meetings?

Because you've said that's terrorism. Do we fight that terrorism the same way we fight?

What you don't want to address is radical islamic terrorism.

She also says, you know, there's no such thing as an illegal alien.

Okay. Okay. Well, then how do we describe, then, who are they?

Are they just soon to be citizens?

Are they refugees?

Are they just poor, tired refugees that are living off the american taxpayer by staying in four and five star hotels and being fed free food until they get back on their feet? Which, by the way, if that's what America decided to do. All right, that's what you decided to do. But that's not.

That's not. Most Americans are not for that.

But the state just has decided they're going to do it. So we all just go along, I guess.

But is, is that.

Is that how we just identify them now?

How do we know words have real meaning and real power? They're important. It's why we don't say, police are looking for a man.

What?

What did he do? Police are looking for a man who shot President Trump. Okay. All right. That doesn't help me much. Can you tell me about the man? No, I can't.

Why not?

They'd be politically incorrect.

Well, then what are we looking for? We're looking for a white man in his twenties.

He's about five eight, he's skinny and he was last seen here.

Words have power and are important.

You cannot continue to cancel words now. Now here she is again in another speech. Undocumented workers, not criminals.

Speaker
An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal. And we have to correct course in this conversation.

Glenn Beck
Because Barack knows we have to change our conversations.

Yes, we can. And they're really uncomfortable. Laugh.

Now another flashback. How does she feel about Ice?

Here's what she said in a 2018 interview with MSNBC.

Speaker
A lot of the signs at the rally you just held were people standing there saying, abolish ice. Yeah.

Glenn Beck
Is that a position that you agree with?

Speaker
Listen, I think there's no question that we've got to critically re examine ice and its role and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing. And we need to probably think about starting from scratch because.

Glenn Beck
Okay, so there will reimagine ice. We'll get back to the reimagining of the police here in a second. She also wants to ban fracking.

Now, this is something that they're going to deny that she ever said or was ever for or she changed her mind. But I would like to know how you could be this committed on fracking. And then what changed your mind?

Because this is a big one that goes with the Green New deal, which she was the first sponsor on. She led the way for the Green New deal.

So where does she stand on fracking cut for?

Speaker
There's no question. I'm in favor of banning fracking.

Glenn Beck
So.

Speaker
Yeah. And starting.

And starting with what? What we can do on day one around public lands. Right. And then there has to be legislation. But yes, and this is something I've taken on in California. I have a history of working on this issue. And to your point, you know that we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the impact on the health and safety of communities.

Glenn Beck
Okay.

Now, she's also been one that pushes the book ban in Florida and saying that Ron DeSantis was don't say gay, which was a lie. Here she is in that when I.

Speaker
Look at the fact that in our country, we're looking at somewhere around 600 bills being proposed or passed anti lgbt book bans, a policy approach that is don't say yay, people in fear for their life, people afraid to.

Glenn Beck
So if you only get your news from the left and you're hearing her say that and you don't hear the correction, I can understand why you might be afraid.

But when somebody is using lies to create fear in you, that's a problem, especially when they are known to be lies.

Here's another one. She supports cutting police budgets.

If you're for overhauling, where do you stand on defund the police?

Speaker
Right. So here's the thing. Defund the police.

The issue behind it is that we need to reimagine how we are creating safety.

And when you have many cities that have one third of their entire city budget focused on policing, we know that is not the smart way and the best way or the right way to achieve safety.

For too long, the status quo thinking has been you get more safety by putting more cops on the street. Well, that's wrong because by the way, stop.

Glenn Beck
She has proven that what she just said was wrong. And that also goes right into when have you heard that? Reimagining the police, that came from her.

She was one of the big proponents of reimagining the police.

Do you like the effects of reimagining the police?

She also went on to say, we're skip this one, but cut the police budget. She was supportive of that. Remember, the media later would tell you that it was the Republicans that were for the police cuts.

And then she went on to say that it's outdated to believe that more police equal safety.

Now when you are, when you are causing people to have fear and you're saying, look, I've got the plan, people start to depend on you instead of their own thinking and their own mind and everything else, and they begin to look at Uncle Sam as a good uncle. No, that uncle should be in prison. That uncle was abusive to you. Okay.

But listen to how she's treated here on the Drew Barrymore program with Drew Barrymore. Listen to this. I keep thinking in my head that we all need a mom. I've been thinking that we really all need a tremendous hug in the world right now. But in our country, we need you to be mommala of the country.

Isn't that great?

I don't want another mother. I had another mother.

I don't need another mother. That's not what the presidency does. That's not what the vice presidency does. They are not your parent. And if they are a good parent, they treat you like a 19 year old. You're out of the house, no longer in my care. Stand on your 2ft. But that's not what the left wants.

There is so much to go over with her. It's almost overwhelming.

And we will continue this, but we want you to make and save bookmarks so you know where you can get this information, because a lot of this information is going to be lost. We'll post this information at glenn Beck.com and we'll post all of the stories, the true stories that are now being deleted and know that they are going to discredit our voices more and more. They have to. They're all in lockstep again. They weren't just a couple of weeks ago. They all, well, I guess they were, they all were in lockstep of telling the truth about Joe Biden. And now they're right back to their lies.

So we will make sure that you have access to the truth so you can show your friends and not access to stories just, you know, from us or whatever, but from the New York Times and the Washington Post, because they all said these things. Whatever hasn't been erased, we will find and make sure that you have access to it.

She's a very, she will be the most liberal person to ever be president of the United States or even a candidate.

She is a socialist. She is at least stated much further than Barack Obama.

Much further at least stated. She's coming in as this radical and the press will obscure that and make anybody who says any different into conspiracy theorists.

But we're not know that you've been lied to over and over and over again from these same people and share the truth. Back in just a minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You know, our movement cannot be just about winning the next election. We have to have a longer vision than that, and it needs to be intergenerational.

There are kids growing up. If they don't know the truth, it is going to be the same mess over and over and over again. That's why we have to care about the culture our kids are growing up, up in. That's why with all the crazy news we are publishing, chasing embers. It's a young adult fiction book, dystopian.

We're hearing a lot from adults who are really enjoying it as well. It's kind of a Hunger Games esque sort of adventure story with teenagers taking on massive public private partnerships that have completely erased America and all of our history. It's like if Disney took over our country. It's a, it's a nightmare. And through the story, our characters are showing the way out, and the way out is finding the truth. It's a brand new adventure, and we're trying to reach a new generation. We need your help to keep the momentum going. Please order chasing embers now@glennbeck.com. or wherever you get your books, if you have teenagers or if you like a good novel yourself, you will, I think you will really like it, chasing embers. And by the way, we want to hear what you think of the book. Please leave a review and give it a rating as that helps us be discovered by, by new people.

So there is a story out now, stu, you were just talking to me about with Kamala Harris. And again, how the press uses language. They say that language matters, and that's true. And they, they know how it matters. Listen to this.

Stu
Yeah. This has been pointed out by Andy Kaczynski over at CNN, actually. But it's amazing. It's Politico's framing of it. And they say Harris campaign pledges that she won't ban fracking after Trump accusation.

Trump's allegations come as Kamala Harris is expected to moderate her positions on energy issues. As he points out, it's true. This isn't an accusation, is not an allegation. She just said it publicly over and over and over again. We just played the clips for you just moments ago. Kamala Harris has been specifically dedicated to banning fracking for years and years and years and years. And the news here is not that Trump is accusing her of the thing she said she wanted to do. The news is that she's now changing her position in the middle of a presidential campaign for some reason. I don't know if climate scientists have come out and have proved fracking, I don't know what has occurred to change her mind. But gosh darn it, it seems like maybe she's just trying to win this election by fooling people.

Glenn Beck
Well, see, this is, this is why the media is writing this the way they did. They're making it accusation because then you immediately think Donald Trump is the bad guy and you just don't think beyond that. Oh, there's Donald Trump making some crazy accusation again. The headline should be that Kamala Harris changes her position.

But if that's the headline, if that's the way the story goes, then that would mean someone should ask her why she's changed her position.

This way, you don't have to have her defend it because she's under assault and accused of things. So you're not looking to her to defend. You're looking to Donald Trump. Defend yourself, man.

This is how you need to start reading the news, because, and I hope that there are some people that are waking up that are in the audience that will understand that this is the way to read the news and you need to start spreading the word.

Speaker
I.

Stu
If I go to survive.

Glenn Beck
Stand up straight.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment, enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We need to talk to you about the Supreme Court and what our fearless leader is planning on doing today. Joe Biden is coming out with a declaration of trying to change the Supreme Court. We'll explain why here in just a second and what it all means. But I also want to spend some time on the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

I think I'm a pretty reasonable guy that will give artists the benefit of the doubt, but I don't think there's any doubt on this one. I didn't see the Olympics.

I just saw the mini photos of, I don't know, testicles and everything else. And I thought to myself, there's got to be some other explanation. Then I heard the Olympic committee come out and give their explanation, and I decided, I'm going to watch this in context. So let me give you in context what all of this means and why everyone should be concerned about it.

We'll do that in 60 seconds. First, you ever get that feeling that America picked the wrong decade to stop sniffing glue?

I don't know about you, but I think it's crazy to consider the presidential debate between, you know, Joe Biden and Donald Trump was literally only a month ago. Look what's happened in that short space of time. I don't think we're going to recognize our country by the end of the year. Terrible changes can come and come fast. You need to think, why is it important for you and your family to have made all of the preparations that you can, so when the dam bursts, you're prepared. Is that important to you? If you start with your finances, one of the most important things you can do is build a hedge against further inflation. And may I recommend investing some of your portfolio into gold or other precious metals, like silver?

It's learned.

Okay, stu, what have you seen? Because you didn't watch it. What have you seen?

Stu
A bunch of stuff I wish I hadn't seen.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Okay.

Stu
You know, dudes with beards doing a lot of dancing.

A recreation of the last Supper with genitals flopping out of under shorts.

You know, it was all stuff that I. I mean, I guess there were some sporting events as well, tied to the. Tied to this in some way.

Glenn Beck
I haven't seen anything about those sporting events.

Stu
It was. It was disgusting.

Glenn Beck
Okay, okay, so here's what's being said.

What's being said is there's a gold. There was a golden calf on the main stage and no explanation of it.

There was a recreation of the.

Of the Last Supper.

And people have been saying that wasn't a representation of the Last Supper. But even the director, the guy who was the artistic director for the whole thing said, I'm not the first one to use that image and to change it. I mean, the Simpsons have done it. Everybody has done it. Well, okay, so now we know that that was the Last Supper. Then there was this picture of. Of this, uh, of this woman with her head chopped off. And it was a very fire and brimstone kind of thing, but that was about the French Revolution.

Then there was a really interesting party that went on that seemed, I don't know, kind of pagan, but that was the point. They say and then there was a pale writer, a writer that was dressed and carrying the Olympic flag, and he was on a pale horse, and he was dressed in pale armor, and he was riding the horse on the Seine.

Now, let me tell you that. Let me first give a review of the opening.

Celine Dion ended everything, and it was one of the most powerful moments I've ever seen.

She sang, I don't know, some frenchy, french song about, you know, if you only love me right now, that'll be fine, whatever.

But it was powerful, and it was powerful because she conquered all odds. She was diagnosed with stiff person, uh, syndrome, where your body just stiffens up and you can't move it. And she was incredible.

And they had her on the second level of the Eiffel Tower. They used the Eiffel Tower as a back, as a backdrop for much of this, and it. I've never seen the Olympics ever. I've never seen anybody do anything like what they did in Paris and making the entire city a stage.

It was beautiful, powerful, cost them $150 million. So if it wasn't beautiful and crazy, outrageous in a good way, you would wonder what they did with $150 million. But I kept saying all the way through it, I cannot imagine what this cost to put on. I'm surprised it was only $150 million.

Now, let's take the imagery, and let's take it two ways.

Let's take it as what the Olympic committee said it was, that that rider in the horse is the. I don't know, the God of the Seine river, that this was all about the history of France, which it was.

And it had nothing to do with mocking Christianity.

Well, I would say that you could read it that way. Absolutely. Like the horse. You could read it as the pale rider, or you could read it as the spirit of the Seine. Fine. And I'm not going to argue about that. You could read it either way.

But there are some things here that you cannot read any other way.

One, the golden calf on the main stage facing the Eiffel Tower, there was a golden bust of the bull, and then there was the golden calf beneath that. It was never mentioned.

Why?

If you watched the segment with the Lord's supper, it only was on the frame on the tv for about two or 3 seconds.

Now, I want to show you that it's not just christians in America and conservatives that are all upset. Could you please play the video that we got from, I don't remember what, one of the social services where they're in France and they're watching it. And these are french people watching that scene. Watch.

Hands on their faces now. Head in the hands.

So even they were a little shocked by it. Maybe they thought it funny, but their expressions show that they were also kind of embarrassed that that would be happening.

The announcers never said anything about even that being a table other than the Runway is. Has been fashioned from a banquet table.

And then they passed over that scene. Well, that scene was carefully constructed to look like the last Supper. There's no way you can deny that. The positions and everything else, however, it's all drag queensland. So all of the apostles are a drag queen, and Jesus is a fat lesbian.

And there was a child at the table. And if you look at a screen grab, you can see the man behind her. His testicles are escaping and wandering about.

It was truly horrifying. If you look at it as that's the last Supper, it is mocking God. And as I said last week, we are no longer chasing God out of the public square. That's been done long ago. We are now taking him, bound and gagged to our public square, tying him to a pole and mocking him every day. That doesn't end well for any civilization.

I don't believe that everybody had a, you know, had seen this. The director kept a lot of it secret, so nobody knew what everything meant or why it was done. But that was clearly done, as were the golden calf.

To say that this is a pagan ritual.

Now, the guy, the little blue guy, is the.

Is the God of wine. He is also the.

The God of the theater. Eventually, I think it's Dionysus. Dionysus is the greek God of wine, which goes into France, but also of ecstasy. And they used to have rituals, this cult gathered around him.

And it was a festival which has said that this is what this festival was supposed to represent, which was really decadent and evil. I mean, let's just be honest about it. It was just evil the way it happened. In fact, it was so evil that in 186 BCE, the Italians banned this God and that festival. It was not good.

So you can't just say that this is something that is, oh, well, this is just the God of wine.

He's also the God of ecstasy, and ecstasy without any shame.

He is also the God that you would see on old theater marquees with the grapes over his head. He's also the God of the pagan theater.

So he comes out to be served, and they have an orgy while there is a fashion show that was going on with men in dresses. And it was just all gender bender. It was basically that whole scene and much of the night was, we reject all the norms of goddess. We object and will mock everything that people say is good, and we will mock those who are offended by this.

I believe this was some sort of an. I'd have to talk to Rabbi Daniel Lapin to find out, but I'd like to hear his opinion on this, because I think that this was a pagan ritual that we just don't understand because we're too far away from it. But this is a gauntlet thrown down in France. Now, why would you do this?

People would say, and I've heard them say, why would they do this to all the christians of the world? There's almost 2 billion christians in the world. Yeah, but if your country was being taken over, bye, Islamicists.

And they were already on the streets saying, how decadent and perverse of a society you are, why would you put that on full display?

This was a gauntlet that was thrown down, and I don't think it's going to end well.

So congratulations, Celine Dion, for taking that $8 million to stand up and sing. You were amazing.

But the rest of it was highly, highly disturbing. Back in just a second.

Across this vast nation of ours, millions of Americans are living their everyday lives with frequent and sometimes debilitating pain. Some of it just comes with getting older, some of it comes from injuries or even illnesses, but most of it comes from inflammation in our bodies. All of it is bad. And when I was living with terrible pain in my hands, I tried everything I could think of to get rid of it, and nothing worked or worked for very long. And the things that did work, I didn't want to take all the time. I mean, I've had really, really painful back. I don't need any more problems. Thank you. The pain in my hands.

I got the ability to move my hands again, and that was a big deal for me. It's why I can paint. In fact, I had my first painting lesson I've had in a long time. Today, hopefully. Relief factor is 100% drug free daily supplement that will help your body fight that pain naturally as it helped me. Developed by doctors, it's a natural formula that includes ingredients that address the inflammation in your body, which is where the pain starts. Try it, will you? Relief factor.com or call 800 for relief. 800, the number for relief. It's relieffactor.com and second station id.

I'm trying not to be a, you know, somebody who's, you know, wringing their hands all the time.

About, you know, what people are doing and what does that mean? And I can read through that, but I just don't see any other way. You can read what happened at the Olympics and never before. This is not normal. For anybody who is 30, 40 years old, this is not normal. This was never done in our society. You never would have done that.

That was honestly, that was a gay pride parade on global television without any warning to anyone.

It was. It was phenomenal. And I just don't know why France would do that, why no one looked at that in advance.

Stu
But you don't think they did?

Seems to me to be intentional now.

Glenn Beck
No. They said beforehand that there was no.

This was the first Olympics where there wasn't any real run through, and they didn't tell the announcers exactly what was going on, like, and you could hear it. When the announcers went to the Runway thing where the, you know, the twelve apostles were all men, they didn't know what to say. The first thing I think one of them said was, oh, gosh, um, okay. And then the other one came in and said, this represents a Runway, and it's on this street bridge. And they. You could tell they were reading from the script of what they were supposed to say. Not anything in the script described what was going on. That just unfolded in front of everybody's mind, everybody's eyes, unfortunately, with their shorts.

Stu
Literally, it just unfolded.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Stu
And that was. That was unfortunate for all of us.

I'm not surprised. You know, we've come a very far distance in a very short time. Someone posted a side by side of this and that. I think it was the 2014 Olympics, where it's, like, beautiful ballet and very traditional art, arts and entertainment, I would suppose. And again, ballet is not my thing. But I will say, like, side by side, it's fascinating how quickly this has come. I mean, that is the period where back in 2014, you're talking about a period where it's just after Barack Obama comes out for gay marriage. Right? Like that. How antiquated does this seem right now? And we. I mean, the distance that we've come and the idea that for a massive audience, including, like, people who have, you know, islamic countries and, like, you know, african countries with traditional religious beliefs, outside of just trying to offend, you know, Normie, American Christians, like, it is so offensive. And the thing. The fact that they didn't, either they did see this coming or they didn't see it coming. Either way, it is an absolute disgrace.

Glenn Beck
They did.

Stu
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. It's a disgrace because you're speaking for a whole country, you know, and they, of course, put in John Lennon's imagined world where there is no God, no heaven, no hell, no war.

And then they gave the one new world order sign of we come together for peace, so there would be no more war if we would just all get rid of all of our borders.

It was extraordinary. I was what it was because it was not a history lesson. Parts of it were not a history lesson. Let me ask, was a globalist agenda?

Stu
It really, really was.

What's the reaction from queers for Hamas to all of this? Because it seems like the islamic community in the Middle east not thrilled with this particular programming choice, yet you have the queers for Hamas who have been so supportive of Hamas and their beliefs. How does all this work out?

Glenn Beck
Exactly how you think it would work out? I mean, I. You know, I watched this and I thought, they are being overrun. They have islamic riots in the street all the time. They have bombings all the time.

What do you think this is going to do? I mean, forget about the Christianity stuff.

Just look at the, the. The line they were pushing of cross dressing and homosexuality and pedophilia and all of this stuff.

What do you think religious people are going to do? Even if they don't believe in Jesus, christians will most likely just go, well, there they go again.

Muslims don't do that. Okay, muslim extremists, those people who believe in muslim quranic rule, they don't just say, oh, there they do it again, Glenn Beck.

They express things differently.

It's easy to get discouraged when pro Hamas protesters are defacing national property right outside the capitol building during a visit from Benjamin Netanyahu. I don't know if you saw that.

Now, apparently, armed by Iran, they're saying that they have an EMP that they are going to hit Israel with. Oh, that, that's good. That's good. God help us if that happens. For 40 years, the international fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the ground with Israel and within hours of the war starting. And every day since, they've been helping people on the ground. Like Keith, the head of security from a region in Israel's southern border with Gaza. He protects the people in his region. But on that fateful October 7, an armored security truck donated to Keith and his community by the Friends of the fellowship stopped bullets from terrorists who fired at Keith as he drove into danger. Christians like you support Israel. Support through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Go to ifcjennae, supportifcj.org, dot supportifcj.org dot.

Stu
And head over to blazetv.com glenn. Use the code Glenn 30 trial and save the Supreme Court is a morass. First, it's an, an ethical morass. The idea that wealthy individuals, many of.

Glenn Beck
Them right wing, can both have pay for cases before the court and at.

Stu
The same time give justices gifts or trips is outrageous. And frankly, Chief Justice Roberts isn't doing.

Glenn Beck
Enough to curb it.

Stu
But it's a morass in even a worse way. This is a Maga right wing court. It's already taken away the right to choose.

Glenn Beck
It could very well go further, further on that.

Stu
I fear it will.

It's siding with the wealthiest of individuals and the powerful interests over the average working family.

Glenn Beck
And it even threatens democracy when it.

Stu
Says that a president can get immunity.

Glenn Beck
Even for certain acts in the presidency.

I've never heard such ridiculous logic in my life. They are counting on you, the american people, to not know what's going on with the Supreme Court. So let's set a few things straight. The Supreme Court, for the first time in my lifetime, I believe, is on a path to reduce the federal government's power.

That hasn't been done ever since FDR. It has been increasing government power. And if you want to talk about corruption, go back and listen to last week's Beck story. It came out, I think it was on Saturday, this one came out, and it was all about the Supreme Court. It was either this weekend or last weekend.

And it's all about the Supreme Court under the progressive, starting with Woodrow Wilson and what happened and how they were using the court and they were actually running interference for the president and for Congress and they were colluding with each other to get progressive things passed.

It's all historic fact now. We've never known about it because they've hit it, but now it has come out and the facts are all there. There was deep corruption in the court. I still think there is because of the leak that came clearly from one of the nine justices.

But what they have done, what this new court has done is do nothing to hurt your rights but hurt the rights of the federal government.

When he says, well, it's just nothing but helping these corporations. No, because government is in bed with corporations right now.

Corporate America and the government of the United States are almost walking all in lockstep right now.

When they said that we are going to pull back Chevron deference, that wasn't saying that we love Chevron and oil. What that was saying, that court case was about a law that an administrator made, uh, that had been on the books for a long time, and that was. Look, we have to be able to know, uh, if what you're bringing into your boat is legal or not, and you're not breaking any of the laws. Okay, well, you can check me all you want.

Then. When Biden got in, what Biden did was he had his administrator up that and say, okay, we need to check this. But you, the private fishermen, need to pay their salary.

They're like, no, if you want to check me, you can check me, but I'm not paying for that person. I'm abiding by the law. You're not. You can't do that. You'll put me out of business. And that was the intent, to put small people out of business.

This is what's happening in America.

And if you're not paying attention, you need to be.

What's happening in America is the. The administrative state, which was never part of the constitution.

The administrative state. The dream of Woodrow Wilson and then of FDR, and then again of Johnson and Obama and now Biden. This dream has been fulfilled to where faceless bureaucrats that don't answer to you, never are voted on, can do whatever they want to regulate your life.

That is what this Supreme Court is doing. It's not making the presidential office more powerful. It is making the office of the president less powerful.

If you really care about some dictator getting into office, you should be cheering on the Supreme Court, because every move they've made is to lessen the power of the presidency.

That's a very good thing. But they keep taking this and spinning it around because they know you're afraid of a dictator.

And so they're making it look like this court is doing something that will help a dictator. The exact opposite is true.

Very rarely do I say the exact opposite is true, but it's becoming more and more the norm. Usually there's a bit of truth, and then it goes off the, you know, the trail back here in the story.

No, no, this. There is no story part of this that is true. None.

What they want to do is they want to pack the court. So the president is coming out today, and he's saying, I was a us senator for 36 years, including a chairman and ranking member of the Judiciary committee, having overseen more Supreme Court nominations as a senator, vice president prentice, the president, than anyone else living today. That should tell you something.

I have great respect for our institutions and separation of powers. What is happening now is not normal.

Well, it's not normal if you look at it from the FDR and Wilson point of view, you're right, and it undermines the public's confidence in the court's decisions. No, your distortions are doing that, including those impacting personal freedoms. And we now stand in a breach.

No one said no to abortions at the federal level.

They say that. I'm afraid they're going to go even further. They can't go further because of the latest Supreme Court ruling.

They're saying the federal government and the Supreme Court has no role in your life. They cannot tell you that you can or cannot have an abortion. If you want to have an abortion in your state, then vote for it and put it in abortion.

Abortion. The numbers have gone up, not down. They have gone up since Roe versus Wade was overturned. And even Ginsburg had said for years that Roe versus Wade was faulty in its logic and its law and should be overturned, not because she was against abortion, she was for abortion, but it wasn't solid law because the government has no place there.

So what are they saying? They're saying you're take their, this government, this out of control Supreme Court is taking away your right to have an abortion.

And so we need to change the Supreme Court.

Well, no, they're really wanting to take away your right to not have an abortion, to choose as a community. No, we don't do this here. To choose as a doctor. I won't do that.

You may not like what somebody else does in another community or another state.

We're not supposed to like it because there's, there is true diversity, the diversity of thought.

There should be opposition in all things. It's part of life.

So you may not like what's happening in another state. I know. That's why I've never lived in California and I've always wanted to live in California. They're just crazy in California. I can't do it, so I don't. That's my choice.

Biden also wants to impose a term limit of 18 years on justices. Once fully adopted, it would allow presidents to appoint new justices at a cadence of once every two years.

Now, who will that benefit? And why should we change this? Now?

We're only talking about changing this because Congress rubber stamps everything. They have no power anymore.

The supreme court is the only line of defense. It's the only one putting any kind of restraints on the federal government. They've long passed the constitutional restraints and they have long passed the congressional and senate restraints. They don't care anymore.

So now for a democracy to work, they need to have the Supreme Court rubber stamp whatever their puppets in the administration arm say.

That must be no.

This is the last talk to Dershowitz, talk to anybody who's a constitutional scholar, talk to Tourley, Mike Lee, anyone will tell you, you, the last thing that happens before you go full banana republic is you change the makeup of the supreme Court of your country.

The very last thing you do is you get control of that court. Once you have control of the court, you have a dictatorship.

Be very, very careful.

And readdez, do not just read one side. Don't take my word for it. This is critical that you understand.

Read both sides know what they're actually debating and talking about. You will not get the truth from the mainstream press.

And I'm not saying I'm giving you the full truth. I'm trying to, but I may have some things wrong as well. You will only discover those things when you have actually read the full spectrum of stories.

You're the only one standing in the way of all of this.

And you will either welcome it with open arms, you will be uninformed. So you won't be able to stop anything. You will just listen to people like me, and then you won't be able to defend yourself when you're in a debate or trying to change people's minds on this.

Or you will be somebody that stops us from being a full banana republic.

The choice is yours. And the time to make that choice is right now.

Oh, my.

The Glenn Beck program will be right back.

Well, because of the Israelis, Hezbollah had to, had to target that school and kill all those schoolchildren playing soccer. It's their fault, really. I mean, Hezbollah and Hamas are, you know, not for a ceasefire, but it's probably because of the Israelis. You know, it's amazing what's going on. It's getting worse.

Stu
It does seem that getting the input of Hamas and Hezbollah as to whether they are at or at all interested in a ceasefire in which they would be required to cease firing. Be nice to know if they supported that. No one ever asked them, no one ever seen. They just asked Israel to stop firing, you know, to give enough time for Hamas to start firing again or Hezbollah to start firing again.

I don't know. I feel like their input on this would be interesting.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, it would be. I don't know if you heard this, but Hezbollah came out over the weekend and said they're about to hit them with an EMP, and they say that they can make all of Israel go dark.

If that is true, terror has taken on a whole new phase.

Stu
Yes. I mean, that would be a massive escalation, which I would not be surprised that they would engage in. What do you think their response is going to be like for Israel in this particular situation with the, with the soccer bombing?

Glenn Beck
Speaker one? I think they're just going to keep doing what they're doing.

I think they're just going to keep trying to kill Hamas.

Stu
Well, this is Hezbollah. That's, I mean, the question is, does.

Glenn Beck
It escalate and Hezbollah up in the. Yeah, up in the north? I, you know, they don't want to because that takes on a whole different war and aspect. It widens it and makes it a, you know, one more step closer to Iran. Everybody knows that Hezbollah is from Iran, but it's not Iran.

And you're gonna, you'll just, you'll set the whole Middle east on fire. I think they're gonna just keep doing what they're doing.

Try to get rid of Hamas, punish Hezbollah with raids over the border, possibly. I don't know.

Stu
It's interesting because Iran fired all those missiles at them and they responded in a limited fashion and with this surgical.

Glenn Beck
Strike, unlike I've seen ever before.

Stu
Yeah, this is the same type of situation. You could see the same. They're not going to do nothing, I can tell you that. And they're not going to. I would like to say they would do a proportional response, but in this particular case, that would be killing a bunch of children, playing a sport. And that I know they will not engage in the. So they will do something, I think, to the level, you know, a level above what they were doing previously. But I think you're right. They, they don't want to escalate this into a dual front, all out war.

They want to avoid that if it's at all possible. But, man, you know, for a bunch of genocidal maniacs, they certainly seem to be the victim of a lot of attacks.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, they sure do. And, gosh, the best news there could be is a terror group has their hands on an EMP.

More tomorrow. We'll see you then.
