Why EVERYONE on the Left Is Suddenly Calling JD Vance 'Weird' | Guests: Lunden Roberts & Bridget Phetasy | 7/30/24

This episode dives into the sudden and coordinated effort by the media and the left to label JD Vance and other Republicans as "weird," exploring the underlying strategy and implications behind this narrative shift.

1. The media and the left have shifted from calling Republicans dangerous to labeling them as "weird."
2. This change in rhetoric is seen as a strategic move to make Republican ideas seem less threatening and more laughable.
3. The coordinated use of the term "weird" highlights the left's attempt to appeal to younger voters by adopting a more casual and mocking tone.
4. The discussion raises concerns about the effectiveness of this strategy, especially given the left's association with more radical and unconventional figures.
5. The episode also touches on broader cultural issues, including the left's portrayal of traditional values as outdated or strange.

1: Introduction to the "Weird" Label

Glenn Beck introduces the sudden and coordinated use of the term "weird" to describe JD Vance and other Republicans.

• Glenn Beck: "Isn't it weird how everyone suddenly thinks JD Vance is weird? It's like they all got the same memo."
• Stu: "It is so weird. These Republicans, have you noticed their policies? They're so weird."

2: Media Coordination and Strategy

Discussion on how the media and left-leaning commentators seem to be in lockstep with the use of the word "weird."

• Glenn Beck: "Wow. Who's writing the memos? This is unbelievable coordination."
• Bridget Phetasy: "The memo went out, and this is blatant astroturfing."

3: Cultural Implications

Exploration of how this tactic might be playing out culturally, especially among younger voters.

• Glenn Beck: "The happy warrior wins. I think that's their strategy. I think it could pay off."
• Bridget Phetasy: "They're trying to rebrand themselves as the fun party, but it's not going to work."

4: The Danger of Underestimation

The guests discuss the potential risks of the left's new strategy and how it might backfire.

• Glenn Beck: "You can vote your way into socialism, but you cannot vote your way out of it."
• Stu: "They're desperate, and when you're losing, it's appropriate to try crazy things."

5: Final Thoughts and Advice

Concluding remarks on how Republicans should respond to this new rhetoric and the importance of staying focused on the issues.

• Glenn Beck: "Don't take this lightly. It's a real threat to not only the candidacy but also the country."
• Bridget Phetasy: "Stay away from the childless stuff. It's not good. It's not helpful."

1. Stay Focused on the Issues: Avoid getting distracted by name-calling and focus on substantive policy discussions.
2. Embrace Humor: Use humor to deflect attacks and maintain a positive, relatable image.
3. Avoid Personal Attacks: Steer clear of divisive rhetoric, especially on sensitive issues like family and children.
4. Highlight Hypocrisy: Point out the inconsistencies in the opposition's messaging without resorting to insults.
5. Engage Younger Audiences: Adopt a communication style that resonates with younger voters while staying true to core values.
6. Be Prepared for Shifts: Stay adaptable as the opposition may change tactics frequently.
7. Focus on Unity: Emphasize messages that unite rather than divide, appealing to common values.
8. Use Visuals and Media: Leverage multimedia to counteract the narrative being pushed by mainstream outlets.
9. Encourage Grassroots Engagement: Mobilize supporters at the local level to counteract media narratives.
10. Stay Authentic: Maintain authenticity in messaging to build trust with the audience.

The Left and the media have received their newest talking point: accusing Trump and JD Vance of being "weird." Pat Gray joins Glenn and Stu to discuss the Left’s desperation to turn the attention off Kamala Harris. Contributing editor and columnist for the Spectator Bridget Phetasy joins to discuss the condescending rhetoric within the “White Women for Kamala” movement. Glenn reads through reasoning from a rebel archbishop on why Christians should boycott the Olympic Games after the sacrilegious opening ceremony. The story of Venezuela is a perfect example of leftist policies failing. Lunden Roberts, Hunter Biden’s former girlfriend and mother of his child Navy, joins to discuss her strained relationship with the Biden family, outlined in her upcoming book, "Out of the Shadows," as Biden continues to ignore the existence of his seventh grandchild. Stu rants about the Olympics allowing men to compete in the women’s boxing tournament. Who’s weird again?

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, you know what's weird?

Is Venezuela going from the richest country and economy in South America to financial ruin and now riots in the street. That's weird. Isn't that weird? National debt is now passed $35 trillion. Wow, that's really weird.

You know what else is weird?

JD Vance and Donald Trump is weird, too. And the only reason why I'm using this weird, weird word, weird, is because you know what's really weird? Is how all of the media in lockstep overnight are now calling Donald Trump and JD Vance and all of their ideas weird. Its no longer a threat to democracy, its just weird.

Weird, isnt it?

More on that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Its rough greens. Melanie lives in Georgia. She writes in about her dogs experience with rough greens. She says, I was very skeptical about trying rough greens. I was sure my dog was not going to eat it. Boy, was I wrong. My dog loves rough greens. Now he only eats the food that I put rough greens on. And he has much more energy than he used to. Thank you so much, Lenny. Thank you for writing in and letting your dog try rough greens. It's a game changer for dogs. And, you know, they know that you're skeptical that your dog is going to eat it or that, you know, you'll see a difference. That's why they want to give you a trial bag for free. You just go to roughgreens ruffgreens.com and you get a first trial bag for free. You just pay for shipping. You sprinkle it on your dog's food and watch the difference in your dog. First trial bag free. Just pay for shipping. Roughgreens.com or 833 glenn 33 833 glenn 33 roughgreens.com beck it's weird. Stu. What? Isn't this a weird day? What a weird day.

Stu
It is so weird. These Republicans, have you noticed their policies? They're so weird.

Glenn Beck
I have.

They're weird. They're weird. You know, in fact, I have a, you know what's really weird is this montage put together that shows all of everybody in the media and everybody on the left suddenly calling JD Vance weird.

Here it is. Some of what he and his running mate are saying. It's just plain weird.

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

Stu
As weird and creepy.

Glenn Beck
Is JD vance a super weird idea from JD Vance? Yeah. It's not. I mean, it's quite weird. They're just plain weird. Just plain weird.

Stu
Just plain weird.

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

Stu
Being a really weird. Such a weirdo.

Glenn Beck
Donald Trump and his weirdo running mate are weird. Deeply and profoundly weird. They are weird. These Republicans just being weird. It's just weird.

Pat Gray
It's really weird.

Bridget Fetici
Republican weirdness goes even deeper.

Glenn Beck
He said a lot of things that are weird. A weird style that he brings, weird policies.

Stu
Let's start with the weird thing because.

Glenn Beck
It is a thing.

Stu
Just plain weird.

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

Stu
That seems very weird to me, that.

Glenn Beck
An adult can go through six and a half years of being in the public eye if he has laughed. It's at someone not with someone. That is weird behavior.

Wow.

Wow. Who, who's writing the memos? This is unbelievable coordination. I mean, I stand in awe at the, the system the left has built to where they can get everyone to walk in lockstep overnight.

Kamala Harris is horrible. She's the worst vice president. She is hated by everybody. She can't keep anybody on her staff. Staff.

She is unlikable, unworkable. She's not the replacement overnight. She's a genius.

She's a genius. You don't know how great she is. Did you know that? I mean, far from being very, very, very busy helping the president run the country every day, she's also a marvelous cook. There's a story out in the, I think it's in the New York Times today about what a health addict she is and her, I mean, you have to see her exercise routine. It is unbelievable.

They're all in lockstep.

And, you know, I know that this is true. We know this is the way it works. But it is awesome in its weirdness, creepiness, and quite honestly, orwellian way to watch this happen in real time.

Now, let me tell you what I think they're doing.

I think that they are very wisely changing the tone of the conversation and they're going with Kamala's weird laugh.

Isn't that great? He's just weird.

And they're trying to change the tone from a grumpy old man, you're a danger to the democracy.

It's just weird, isn't it? They're just weird.

They are trying to soften themselves from the possibility of being a fascist dictator to just somebody like you that just looks at things. It goes, that is weird, isn't it? Now, you may not do that, but they're also trying to make it a campaign for the, the younger set. You know, those people that are, well, weirdly younger.

I wouldn't, I would not dismiss what they're doing right now.

I think this is a, this coupled with black women or white women for Kamala, black men for Kamala, you know, one legged Asians for Kamala. I just, I don't get it until you start to think perhaps, perhaps they are softening things by almost mocking themselves.

That's the way they're not.

But I think they are trying to appear as though it's all tongue in cheek.

I think it's a good strategy if that's what they're doing.

But it is, it's awesome in its evilness to watch.

Stu
It does seem like something like the white dudes for Kamala is a little bit tongue in cheek. They do seem to be playing that up a little bit. But I think they're going to be.

Glenn Beck
The party of fun. Yeah, they're going to be party of fun. Remember, she said, and we're going to have a lot of fun with this, aren't we, Barack? We're going to have a lot of fun with this.

Stu
It's interesting that you bring this up, because I had the same sort of thought yesterday as I was watching all this, you know, the weird coverage. And I think we're probably in the minority. And I think that most people just look at this on the right and just like, okay, they're just trying this crazy stuff. The only reason I would say it's notable is that they've tried the same tactic on Donald Trump for so long that he. It's like global warming, increasing levels of doom. Right. Every time you talk about Donald Trump, it's, he's a fascist, he's a. He's a dictator, he's Hitler, he's going to stop democracy. And they just keep escalating. Oh, it's handmaid's tale. And they've tried that so many times, this one note strategy against him, that I think trying anything different is probably wise for them, what they do now, and they doesn't work, and Trump knows how to respond to it. This is a little bit different. And so far, like, it's been basically JD Vance on his heels saying, I'm not weird. I swear. I like children. I like. I like my kids. And it's like, oh, well, that's crazy.

Glenn Beck
It's weird.

Stu
I mean, that's nonsense, especially with the stuff that they promote. Obviously it's crazy, but it at least maybe is a little bit of a change up from what they've done every other day for the past five years.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Because what you are, what you are doing is you're forcing the right into a school marm position.

Oh, is that weird that we like children, that we. That we think families are good? Well, you know what's weird? Is the Paris Olympics with testicles popping out everywhere.

Stu
Right.

Glenn Beck
And it is weird to sound, even though you're accurate, you sound like the school marm.

The happy warrior wins.

I think that's their strategy. I think it could pay off.

Stu
And it's a little bit of. Again, I don't know that it works. Remember, this is a party that's losing. Right? So trying something different.

Glenn Beck
No, no, no.

Stu
Is what you do in these moments.

Glenn Beck
I know.

Stu
And so I'm just trying. I don't want to oversell it. Like, this is some brilliant strategy. I'm just saying that changing here is probably wise. Not to mention it's one of those things you've talked about a million times, Glenn, of making your weakness your strength. They are weird.

What they want is weird. It's a very good descriptor of what they're trying to do to this country. It is very weird. It is very strange. But there's, they're saying in a way, to disarm the attack against them. Everyone knows the fact that we just had a presidential campaign launch on RuPaul's drag race is weird. That's weird.

Having, pulling, taking the candidate who won the nomination and replacing him three months before an election is weird. All that stuff is weird. But they're almost using this in a way to desire. Is that how you see it? Do you think they're trying to disarm the attack that's obviously more applicable to them?

Glenn Beck
Yes. This isn't normal. This is weird. You know, this is weird. This has not happened before.

It's, none of this is, is normal.

And so they immediately turn and go, you know, he's weird. He's really weird. Have you heard what they're saying? They're weird.

And they're, they are bringing the temperature down.

They are seeming like the fun people that they are because she didn't really talk about anything. She didn't know what she's saying.

You know, the Venn diagram.

We're just having fun with this. That's all we're doing. We're just like you.

That's what's happening.

And it's incredible if that's what they're doing. I think it's brilliant and dangerous for the republic because she is weird.

She is not normal. She is not a traditional candidate. There is no way that Kamala Harris could ever become president unless you took her as the most unpopular candidate in the race and you put her as the vice president, and then you had some guy who was so wildly incompetent and, and so dangerous for the country that you put her in and you put her in at the last minute before anybody can really talk to her again and refresh everybody's mind who she is.

Give her very little rope. She's got very little time to offend everybody and to do anything but a soft shoe dance.

That's the only way you get her in as president. No. No one, no Democrat would elect her.

If it started back last year and she had debates, it would never work. And now you're going to be able to have the most. She is more progressive than Barack Obama. I don't think she's more progressive than Big Mike, but she's much more progressive than Barack Obama. She believes it to the core of her being.

And she, she was raised by Berkeley professors. You know what's weird? That's weird.

The only way you can get her in is in a very short time period.

Have her come in when it's an emergency and everybody has to agree with her. Make sure that you got the press in lockstep. And we're just having fun with this.

We're not taking, you don't take that seriously. Like, oh, I got to do that.

Dangerous, very dangerous for our side.

And I'm not saying she's going to win. I'm saying don't take this lightly.

Stu
It's a real threat to not only the candidacy, but also the country.

Glenn Beck
What happened with the GOP convention? Why did everybody feel so good after that?

Because it was happy and joyful and that's something we haven't felt in a long time.

We're used to people saying the worst things about one another when they come out with something like weird. That's just weird. I, that's not offensive at all.

And you can kind of laugh about that. It is kind of weird, isn't it? You know, I don't think I can vote for them because that is weird. But you're just, you're just so much like me.

More in just a second. Stand by. First, let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor is Patriot Mobile.

Would you like to be less woke than the secret service?

Stu
Glenn one other aspect of their campaign and their strategy shift since Biden left, I think, is just straight out intentionally gaslighting.

And it's partially with this weird thing. They're trying to get people, they're trying to goad somebody, some 9th string Republican, to say something over the line is weird. And then they're going to use that for months. And the media will echo that about how hateful the right is. But the other one is this debate situation.

I've heard this from multiple Democrats. Now, just to rewind here, Joe Biden came out and said, hey, Donald Trump, I beat you twice.

Let's debate. Make my day. We'll even do it twice. Remember this whole cocky we're going to defeat you attitude? They tried and he lost so badly, his entire candidacy was destroyed. That's what happened in the debate. We remember watching this. He lost so badly, the entire thing fell apart. Now they've disintegrated their own candidate and now they have their vp possibilities running around America saying, well, Donald Trump's trying to duck Kamala Harris. Can you believe it?

Glenn Beck
He's scared of her.

Stu
Is he? Is he? You guys can't even decide what nominee you have. You don't even know who you're running.

You're flip flopping every few days as to what the candidate is. How can you agree to a debate? This party can't even pick what nominee they have.

And the fact that Donald Trump, Donald Trump is not scared of Kamala Harris, they'll probably almost definitely debate. He's not running from her. The only reason he might not debate her is if he thinks he's winning by so much. He just doesn't need to do it like he did in the primary. There's no reason for him to avoid Kamala Harris. He's not going to try to avoid her. But he, I think, fairly would like to know if they could actually pick a nominee before he agrees to a debate. He's never agreed to a debate with Kamala Harris because she wasn't supposed to be the nominee.

But they're gaslighting. They're just trying to do this.

Glenn Beck
Yes.

How weird is this, though? And how really kind of unfair that you would put up a challenger? It's like, you know, you're, you're, you're, you're going to be boxing Mike Tyson.

And so you train and train and train for Mike Tyson, who is a different kind of fighter. And then right before you get into the ring, they say, oh, by the way, Mike's not here, it's this guy.

And you're like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That changes strategy.

How weird is it going to be? How difficult will it be for Donald Trump to shift gears?

He, he knew the weaknesses of Joe Biden. He knew how that we have not really seen Kamala Harris debate all that much. We have, you know, in the past, and she was absolutely unlikable, but that's when people were being honest with themselves.

I don't know how she's going to be in a debate. And I don't know how, you know, when it was, when it was Joe Biden, you know, my advice to Donald Trump was, just leave it alone. Just leave him alone. Let him hang himself. Don't say anything bad. Don't take any shots at him. Just leave him alone. And he did, and it worked. What would your advice be to Donald Trump on how to debate Kamala Harris?

I don't know. I need to do research. Do you have off the top of your head, how do you take her on? She's a different animal.

Yeah.

Stu
No, she is a different animal. And I think focusing on her, the one weakness she has in comparison to Joe Biden is Biden was perceived as moderate, and that wasn't true, but he was perceived as sort of a normal, generic democrat. There is a real vulnerability for Harris. And, and this is why I said she's going to be more difficult than Biden, is that this is the only real negative in comparison. She's better at everything than Biden is, and that's just the lowest bar in the world. She's still bad overall, but she is seen as more liberal. The, the incredible dishonesty and lack of authenticity is also a major problem for her.

Glenn Beck
But why would you just say, that is so weird that you would bring that up? I mean, I've never even seen you smile, Donald, is this weird? Glenn Beck.

There is the pillow you sleep on, and then there is my pillow. Unless you've been listening to me and taking my advice, these are not the same thing.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We are so excited that you are here today. Thank you so much for listening. I hope we can give you some things of, of value to help you understand your world a little bit better and help you through the day. Pat Gray is joining us now from Pat Gray unleashed, which is weird.

Pat Gray
Isn't it, though? It is weird. It is weird.

Glenn Beck
It is weird.

Pat Gray
He's just a weird guy, you know, just weird. Says weird things, does weird stuff.

Weird. Just weird.

Glenn Beck
So, Pat, how does it work that everybody gets on the same page overnight in the media?

Pat Gray
I think there's a bat signal that goes out and they all gather at the same place.

Glenn Beck
Weird.

Pat Gray
And then, no, the signal comes out like some progressive, sort of like a, I don't know, swastika goes up in the sky. And then they all know the gathering place and they go and then they get the directive. Yeah, the word on JD Vance that's testing right now is weird. Everybody use the word weird. Okay, we're going to reposition this guy.

Glenn Beck
Password is weird.

Pat Gray
Or maybe it's a phone call. Stooges thinks it just kind of happens organically after somebody says it on MSNBC.

Stu
I think that's part of it because, I mean, we know, for example, the bat call in form of bad campaign memo does happen. It just happened. Was it last week or two weeks ago where they, they leaked that one memo or someone, you know, got their hands on it and then they were able to show network after network after network, host after host after host, incredible politician after politician after politician, repeating those same talking points over and over and over again. So that's definitely part of it. 100% exists. I do think that there's, you know, lower level people down the chain, you know, the MSNBC, you know, zilch that nobody knows. A lot of those people are just doing it essentially to please the Democratic Party. They see the democratic party platform, they pick it up. So they parrot it and they parrot it. You mentioned the swastika earlier, just to, they've been dipping in hitlerian rhetoric for so long. Let us engage here for just a moment. But that's a lot of the, a lot of the Hitler stuff happened that way. He had centralized control. Everyone knew what he wanted done. But it wasn't necessarily that he was directing every single underling. A lot of those people would do. They would see what he wanted and try to stand out by going farther down that path than anyone else would. And that's how they'd get promoted and seen. And so a lot of that is happening as well.

Glenn Beck
He would, he would also pit people against each other and he would tell them, you know, I'm moving in this direction. I just really think this is, well, you think about it. See what you know, see what you can do, see what you come up with. And they would often go further than, than even he was even thinking because they were so, they knew it was me or the other guy in the room, and I am not going to lose my position.

And so they would just advance and advance and advance.

I don't, I mean, I don't know who the heavy is here. I mean, think of the coordination that has happened.

They couldn't get us out of Afghanistan with getting out, without getting everybody killed. Okay?

But they can. They can get out of this president.

They can put these calls with 60,000 people on it. They have the scripts ready. Everything's ready to go. They can raise $200 million in, you know, five days.

Who is doing this? Who's really behind all of this?

Stu
Certainly a lot of money out there behind it. I mean, look, the Democrats know what they're doing in campaigns. I don't think any of us, anyone's ever really criticized that they're able to put a lot of money and a lot of resources into winning these things. I do think that that's certainly true. And, of course, you know, the other part of this is they have the media, right? Like, if Republicans started to come out and say, hey, gosh, Kamala's weird. Isn't she? Weird? That's, in a way, sort of what JD Vance said, you know, in 2021, it's kind of like we all have this, like, idea as a nuclear family, and you've got these childless cat ladies over there. They're just, that's basically him just saying they're kind of weird. Right, right. And you see how that has been treated by the media. It's this crazy controversy every day. They're. Do you know that 2021, JD Vance had a mild insult toward one of his political opponents. Like, obviously we know this is nothing, but the media makes it into something and so many people believe it.

Glenn Beck
Well, they make it into something and then they let the media take it and just tear them apart. And then they go, well, you know, JD Vans is just, he's just weird. And so they look like the good guys.

Stu
Yeah. I mean, but it's interesting to see how this affects people. I was listening to unrelated to Politics podcast, it was like a sports podcast and they got, you know, as everybody does. I think right now you get into politics at least a little bit, it's hard to avoid.

And it was interesting hearing them, of course, as usual, when you hear sports podcasts talk about politics, they don't necessarily know what they're talking about. But I think it's interesting to hear how they take this news in. And one of the guys was like, they brought up the JD Vance thing and one of the guys said, yeah, I mean, that's just so weird that you'd, I don't think he said the word weird. I think I just used it. But just he said, like, it's strange that they would launched their campaign by coming out and attacking women without children.

Like, that's how they took that news in. Not that it was a three year old clip that the Democrats dug up and acted as if it was this big deal. And then the media jumped on the bandwagon. To them. It was, this was the lead argument of JD Vance. JD Vance came out, won the nomination and was like, I hate childless cat ladies, which is not what happened at all. And it would be strange to launch a campaign, perhaps with that idea, but it was not what occurred. And I think what happens is because the way the media influences us and, and, and they continue to do it despite the fact that there's all this digital stuff and all these other ways to push back, they seem to have a real control over, over the populace. And this is how people are ingesting this news. It's not like us. These, these people who are voting the other way are not in the same world we're in. They're not hearing the same things. They don't understand that Kamala's reversed herself a hundred times. They've heard that, that Trump is unfairly attacking her on those things. They hear. They are in a totally different bubble, man.

Glenn Beck
Just maybe I've, I'm wrong.

I've been wrong my whole life. This will be a big adjustment for me. But doesn't everybody hate childless cat ladies?

Stu
Well, you have an unnatural hatred for cats.

That is for sure.

Glenn Beck
Right now.

Stu
Do you also hate cat ladies? Because I would think you'd like cat ladies because they're taking a lot of cats off the market. They're kind of all in one house. You're never going to enter.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, so I don't. So I don't enter. I just always, you know, that's kind of a thing, you know, you're a childless cat lady. It's kind of a sad thing. You know, it's not something that you necessarily hate. I hate the cats, so I don't like people who like cats.

I'm sorry if that's. You go away. I mean, if you're not a dog lover, you have no place at this table. We do not believe in animal diversity.

But you just kind of. Cat ladies are kind of like that sad kind of thought, right? Who's holding cat ladies up? Is like, that's the model of what we're shooting for.

Pat Gray
And there's also a numeric component to this. One cat is not that frightening. If you have two, I start to worry about you. If you have three, you're definitely nuts. If you have four, you're a threat to society. And if you have five, you need to be put away for life. I mean, that's just a general rule of thumb that I think everybody lives by, isn't it? Isn't that. Isn't that the way it's written?

Glenn Beck
I don't. Except I. Yeah, I do. Except if you marry in, you know, with a cat person, then the numbers slightly change.

Still, we end.

Stu
Oh, it looks like we may have lost his little feed there. But Pat like this on this child, this cat lady thing, you know, first of all, it's a Simpsons joke, an old Simpsons joke, right? Where they would.

Glenn Beck
She.

Stu
There would be the crazy lady with the crazy eyes and she throws. Throwing cats at people. That was the joke. It was a Sadeena sad existence. But can I put one little factual point into this idiotic conversation for a moment? This is an incredible statistic, and this is an actually true statistic. If you were wondering about the modern left and how it relates to JD Vance's point, when you actually listen to his point today, the average woman with a pet spends more time actively engaged with her pet than she spends hanging out face to face with fellow humans on any given day.

Pat Gray
That's a problem.

Stu
More time actively engaged with their pet, whatever the hell that means, as opposed to actually spending time with humans. We have an entire society of childless cat ladies coming and it's actually kind of already here. This is what it looks like. This is apparently the world we live in. That is a real statistic. I'm not making it up. That is not normal. That is weird.

Glenn Beck
Weird, dude, don't you think that, I mean, I've, oh, I don't know if she likes cats or not, but I bet she does. Hillary Clinton, kind of a, she's not a childless cat lady, but she's kind of the one that would be engaged with her cat going, where's Bill? You know where he is, fluffy. He's cheating on me again. Oh, I know. Come over.

And that, that's, I mean, she, isn't she the quintessential cat lady? Really? Kind of.

Pat Gray
Really? Kind of. I'd say she is. Yeah. She. And Kamala fits that bill, too, for me. I mean, yeah, they, they are both in that category, definitely. What was interesting, though, was the first, the first wave against JD Vance, though, was the fact that he said mean things about Donald Trump in the past. You notice that?

Stu
Yes. That was, they tried that first we.

Pat Gray
And now it's the weird thing.

But they have never followed up on Kamala Harris calling Joe Biden a racist and really making that a theme for a while. That wasn't a thing. But because JD Vance said some mean things about Donald Trump in the past, that's what we should all be paying attention to right now.

Stu
Yeah. Well, and this is weird, again, I'm using the word intentionally here, but it's like, it is weird in the fact that, and I don't know if they've just finally realized that saying the same thing about Donald Trump every 11 seconds is not going to work, but, like, why is JD Vance even really a focal point here?

Pat Gray
Yeah, I don't know.

Stu
Like, they, they just, I think, don't have anything they can. Everything they've tried against Trump hasn't worked. So, like, well, what if we go after this other guy and make him the star of the show?

Pat Gray
They're desperate.

Stu
That's their, it's desperation.

Pat Gray
Yeah.

Stu
And look, when you're losing, it's appropriate to try crazy things, right? Like, it's not going to hurt you to lose by more, necessarily. Although, down ticket, there is an argument there. But generally speaking, you can only lose the presidential election once. So try these things and maybe they work.

Look, if you're trying to go inside all the time and not having success, try a few threes. Even if your shooters suck, throw it outside and bomb a few away. Why not?

Pat Gray
Glenn's always said that he's always used that basketball analogy, right? Always. Yeah.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Always. Always. Yeah.

Pat Gray
Top of the thing that, you know, the thing that you were just saying that, you know. So.

Stu
Yeah. All right. Well, thank you for easy.

Pat Gray
Good.

Glenn Beck
All right.

Stu
We do appreciate having some technical difficulties with Glenn. I can't. Glen's one of those people, too, where he talks and he just pauses for long times and.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Pat Gray
So you're not sure if you froze.

Stu
Or it's a connection gone or is he just. Is he just pausing for about 14 seconds? We don't know. We never know with Glenn.

Glenn, are you back with us?

Glenn Beck
Yeah. You're talking about me, and I don't appreciate it. Let me talk to you about american financing. I just go home. I just take my toys and I go away.

You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck. Sit tight, boys and girls. We'll be right back after these messages.

Stu
Well, you know, if you're like me, your home is your castle. And, you know, it's pretty likely that it's your most precious and valuable asset as well. It's understandable, but unlike a real castle, you can't put a moat around it. You know, your hoa is going to frown on that, not to mention the city. And even if you could put a mode around it, it's not going to stop a criminal who's got the right scheme up their sleeves for, you know, taking your home's title. I mean, if you think about your title, it's like, it just seems like a piece of paper, just notes who owns the home. But if the wrong person is able to get ahold of it and change that title to their name, well, then they own your biggest asset, at least for a time. And they can drain accounts, they can run up big loans, they can make your life a living hell, basically, is the way that works out. You don't want to go through it. You need home title protection. So what do you do? How do you get that? Hometitle lock.com dot. Hometitle lock.com dot. If you go there, you can make sure your title is safe. First of all, because a lot of times this happens, you're not monitoring your title every day. And a few months later, you start getting weird notices to your house. Hey, what's going on? Why are you paying your bills? Well, these are loans you didn't even take out. If you use the promo code blaze, they're going to hook you up with that complete scan of your home's title and the first 30 days of triple lock home title protection for free.

And so many others around here should protect your home as well. It's hometitle lock.com comma promo code is blaze. Hometitle lock.com comma promo code blaze.

Speaker
By aggressively defending civil rights throughout the courts.

But now we live in a different era.

In recent years, extreme opinions that the Supreme Court has handed down have undermined long established civil rights principles and protections principles. 2013, the Supreme Court in Shelby county case gutted the Voting Rights act, opening the floodgates to a wave of restrictive voting laws that have seen states across the country pass.

In 2022, the court overruled Roe v. Wade and the right to choose. That had been the law of the land for 50 years. 50 years.

Glenn Beck
Slavery.

Speaker
The following year, the same court eviscerated affirmative action, which had been upheld and reaffirmed for nearly 50 years as well.

And now there's an extreme movement and agenda called project 2025.

Whoa. By the way, they're serious, man.

They're planning another onslaught, attacking civil rights in America. For example, project 2025 calls aggressively attacking diversity, equity and inclusion all across all aspects of american life.

This extreme MAga movement even proposed to end birth rate to citizenship. That's how far they've come.

Glenn Beck
That is crazy.

So what he wants to do is he's pushing for a change to the Supreme Court.

You know who does that?

Dictators.

That's who does that.

Dictators.

They take control of the supreme court. You know, it's weird. This is what happened in Venezuela, huh? Maduro won and then he, he packed the supreme court and changed the makeup of it. It's. That's weird.

That weird.

The Glenn Beck program. Let me tell you about rough greens. As a dog owner, how often are you thinking about the food that you're giving your best friend? Is it something he likes? More importantly, is it actually good for him? The unfortunate truth is that brown food is dead food. Your dog really needs the green stuff. Rough greens. Owning a dog is a lot of responsibility. And you love your dog. I mean, my dog is part of our family. Uno is getting older and slowing down, but I'm sure I can't prove this, but I'm telling you, I really believe it added years to his life by giving him rough greens. And I know it helped him have a healthier and happier life supplement that you sprinkle on the dog food. It's called rough greens. Rough greens. Go there now. Get your first trial bag for free.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You know, I have to say something. I'm very upset right now. I'm very upset because this is not an inclusive club. This, you know, white women for Kamala. I was, I was part of the phone call yesterday, the one legged polo poner pony riders for Kamala.

And they weren't specific.

I have both my legs, but my pony only has one leg. And we still play polo. And they were like, no, this is for people with one leg that play polo with four legged animals. And they weren't clear and they kicked me out and I just don't like it. They're not very diverse or very clear. It's almost weird, isn't it? We're going to talk about the white women for Kamala.

What a strange nursery school kind of therapy session that was yesterday. We'll talk about that in 60 seconds. Somewhere out there, very close to where you are right now. There is a real estate agent that you can trust, a real estate agent that will go out and get the job done for you.

It is somebody that we have vetted in my company, real estate agents, itrust.com, that will go out and they will work dedicated to get you the best price for your home and the best price for your new home. They work for you, and they're also people that you can trust because they have the website that usually is the best in the area that brings in the most people to look for homes just like yours. So they sell fast. It's realestateagentsitrust.com dot. The name says it all. Realestate agentsitrust.com dot.

All right, let me see.

I want to play a couple of things here. Just a couple of pieces of audio that I don't know, I'm a little uncomfortable with. Here's white women for Kamala. Cut one about women's privilege.

Speaker
White women. I mean, here we are. I have to admit, when I was writing stuff down, I was like, Karen's for Kamala? I don't know. You know, why is it so difficult, as Glennon was saying, to acknowledge and address ourselves as white women?

But here we are, and I am so proud for all of us to be together as women. As white women, we are the ones that have the privilege, of course, and we, too, have had to fight and continue to fight for our equality, our selfhood, our freedom. But we have whatever privileges our male white male counterparts have had the mercy and good sense to bestow on us. And then whatever else of it we have managed to take for ourselves, often being led by, as many have said earlier tonight, the leadership of our sisters of color who have fought and fought and continue to fight for their righteous place on God's green earth.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Yeah. So white women have the privilege. They're now apparently the ruling class. I think. I think that's what she was saying.

And they wanted to make it very clear when they, when they started this Zoom call, one of the influencers really wanted to make sure that nobody makes any mistakes on this phone call. Cut four.

Speaker
I'm gonna share some do's and don'ts for getting involved in politics online. Don't make it about yourself.

As white women, we need to use our privilege to make positive changes. If you find yourself talking over or speaking for BIPOC individuals or, God forbid, correcting them, just take a beat and instead we can put our listening ears on. So do learn from and amplify the voices of those who have been historically marginalized and use the privilege you have in order to push for systemic change.

As white people, we have a lot to learn and unlearn. So do check your blind spots.

Glenn Beck
Okay. All right, well, let's. Let's bring on Bridget Fetici.

And please, please check your blind spot. Bridget, if you will, please acknowledge that.

Bridget Fetici
I'm the most powerful person on this call right now.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, you are. You have all the white women privilege, and you're. You really are going to be the one that turns this whole thing around. You white women.

Bridget Fetici
Glenn, do you understand that it is up to me and my people to save the world? Literally save the world. It is up to us. If we don't get it together, the world will end.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, they said that you. I know you're. You know that they said that yesterday.

That is up to white women.

Oh, my gosh.

Do women. I mean, are there a lot of women that think this way that are, like, fine with. You know what? I just have to. I have so much to learn and so little to say and so much to unlearn.

But I'm the most powerful person here. What are you talking about? Oh, my gosh.

Bridget Fetici
And it's such a weird, humble brag. In a strange way. It's like, at the same time, you're saying you are. You know, I was saying this yesterday to you, actually, and talking to my friends about this. You have to have the worldview.

You have to start with the premise that it is actually white supremacy. You have to believe you are better than everyone else and that it is up to you to lift up all of these people, these poor people who can't help themselves and speak to everybody like their toddlers. We need to put our listening ears on and talk.

Glenn Beck
Oh, my gosh.

Bridget Fetici
Like, it's insanity. But I do think it's a way for people. I mean, what is more important than saving the world while also somehow humbling yourself and recognizing your privilege? It's. It is. It's still all ego. It's so gross. It's so gross.

Glenn Beck
Is this popular? Is. Is this going to work, Bridget?

Bridget Fetici
I mean, I don't know. It's weird. It's like, I went offline for a couple days just to take a break from mainlining x, and I came back on, and it was like 2016 with flavors of 2020 all over again. And this didn't. But it didn't work in 2016. You know, all of this, like, they. I feel like, oh, we're just going to run a very unlikable politician that people have openly said they don't like. We're going to astroturf the entire media with, oh, look at how cool this person is with celebrities and white dudes for Harris and white women for Kamala. Weird, weird Zoom calls. We're going to make it seem like this is all very popular, except it's not.

And then they're going to be out marching in there in their knitted pink hats, you know, the day after the election. I don't think this feels like. It feels like.

I don't know, it feels manufactured to me. All of it. It.

Glenn Beck
Okay, so let me ask you this. You heard that everybody's now calling Trump and JD Vance weird. And I think it's weird that everybody started saying it at the same time.

And I think, Bridget, that this is.

This is a. The new strategy where he was a danger to the Republic. People are so sick and tired of hearing all of this, and they just want somebody just to be normal with them. And so I think it's a way to have, you know, Donald Trump or whoever say, the woman is a socialist.

And then they go, you know, they're just weird. They're just weird. I mean, I'm more like you. We're just laughing it off.

That seems to me to be a dangerous strategy.

Bridget Fetici
It's dangerous.

I'm obsessed with this weird thing. This morning, I was going down all these rabbit holes for reasons one. It's clearly like the memo went out, and this is, you know, blatant astroturfing. Then there's the strange weaponization of the word weird by a party that has generally. That has been cool coded. It's been, Lady Gaga was weird and her little monsters. And this was something that was always very left wing dominated. We're gonna make weird cool. So they were the ones who said no, so you can't use weird. But then there was all this language of ableism that came out, and you couldn't say crazy, and you couldn't say insane, and you couldn't. And I was looking at all the lists this morning, and weird is either it's been retroactively removed, which I wouldn't be surprised, but it might have been the one word that they were like, hey, what can we call him that we're not going to get yelled at for? And weird isn't on any of these lists, strangely. And as I was talking to my editor at the Spectator about, we were texting, and he was saying, you know, to win the general, you have to seem normal, and it's whoever is normal. And now they've made weird this, you know, step to creepy. Like, one step away from creepy. But I don't know if you should be doing that. If you have guys like Sam Britton and Rachel Levine on your side, I mean, you can't. That seems like a bad idea for the left to make weird one step away from creepy because they have way more weird people that represent them than, I would say, the mainstream right wing, if I may.

Glenn Beck
However, you know, it's always the happy warrior that America wants to be with. And so they are, if they are seen as almost mocking themselves, you know, Karen's for, for Kamala, and they're not taking themselves so seriously, even though on the call they took themselves, like, God, like, seriously and they're calling them weird. And then you say, really?

That's weird? How about the dude that's stealing women's suitcases that you had watching over our nukes?

And then they, their response is, see, I mean, you're just bigoted in hatred. Full of hatred. I mean, you're weird, but you're also bigoted. And we just have it. I keep coming back to what she said at the very end of that phone call with Barack and Michelle or Big Mike.

She said, and we're going to have a lot of fun with this, aren't we? And it was so fake. But I think that's what they're going for. I think they're just going to just laugh their way through this. It's just going to be fun. We're just going to have fun.

Bridget Fetici
Yeah, I think they realized a couple of things, which is it's smart of them to course correct. They seem to have leaned back into, okay, America isn't horrible, like we've been saying and preaching in academia, and we're gonna re embrace the american flag. They seem to have been saying, like, they realized, you know, the BRNC for whatever, you know, idiocracy, it might have seemed like it was fun. It was like people having fun. And I was saying this on Twitter, they're like, oh, look what they're projecting. I'm like, they're projecting. And this thing that Americans like to have and generally have, and I think they're realizing they're not seen as the fun party. They're seen as the scolds now and the pearl clutchers and the authoritarians who are checking everyone's language.

And so I don't know. They're not going to be able, that's not, you can't be, you can't say this is the, this is a weird paradox. You can't say this is the end of democracy and, oh, look how weird JD Vance is. That doesn't, it doesn't carry this. They're trying to, like, walk this tightrope and I don't think they're going to be able to do it. You can't be calling everybody bigoted and racist and that this is a fascist takeover of America and then be like, look at how weird he is.

Stu
Yaka, yaka, yucca.

Bridget Fetici
It's not, it's like weird. That's weird.

Glenn Beck
Yes, it is. It is awfully strange. However, it might work for a limited time.

You know, that was the thing that I think the GOP had going for it this year was it was full of joy and it was fun and, you know, it was like a respite from the end of the world. And it was still serious, had it serious moments when it needed to be. But it was fun. And I think that's what gave the wind in the sails of the Republicans and Donald Trump, and I think that's what they're going for.

I could be wrong. I want to hold for 1 minute, if you will. Bridget, I want to ask you about, how would you, if you're Donald Trump, how would you handle Kamala Harris? What would you do in a debate?

What would your strategy be? We'll go back to Bridget Fetusey here in just a second. 1st let me tell you about relief factor. Jeffrey wrote in about his experience with relief factory. He says, I just wanted to send a message of thanks. I am free of pain in my knee and my lower back, which means I can keep my auto detailing business going.

She is the host of Walk Ins. Welcome. And the host of the weekly Dumpster Fire, which I absolutely love. I was on her show yesterday, and we were talking, and it was. It was an odd. It was a very odd interview. I was in a weird space with you yesterday, Bridget.

Bridget Fetici
It was still fun. I still love talking to you.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Is it. Was it. Did you release this already?

Bridget Fetici
No, no.

Glenn Beck
It wasn't live and just spilling into people's houses.

Bridget Fetici
No, no, no. I would definitely let you know if you were going live.

No, it was.

It will be edited and, you know, cleaned up and. And, yeah, I thought. I thought it was great.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, I really enjoyed it. I always enjoy you. Anyway, Bridget, tell me about, you know, Donald Trump has to switch fighting strategies because she's a different fighter than, than, than Joe Biden, so he's got to come to a whole new world.

What would your approach be or recommendation on debating her and taking her on?

Bridget Fetici
Gosh, I'm not, you know, some brilliant advisor to the people, but I know.

Glenn Beck
What, you're a white woman and so you have all the power in the world.

Bridget Fetici
Yeah. I'm obviously the most knowledgeable person on this call, as we mentioned. I just want to put their listening ears on Donald Trump and catch a bubble.

Maybe he should talk to her like she's a toddler.

I don't know. I think they get away with not having to focus a lot on that.

She's basically now saying, oh, I lied about everything I said in 2020.

Now it's like she's totally pivoting. I think you call her out on that constantly and try and nail her down on what she actually believes. Because I don't act. No. Does anyone really know? It seemed like she was quite radical. I believe she's, you know, she's from California, so I know what they.

Glenn Beck
She's from. She's from Berkeley, and her mom and dad were both Berkeley professors. So she's not just from California.

She's not the average californian. She is way off the.

Yeah, so she was.

She was saying the other day that. And the press were. Was helping her, that Donald Trump was accusing her of having these certain viewpoints. What was it, Stu, that they were. They said they. That she was being accused of? And it was her stated policy being.

Stu
She was accused of wanting to bandaid fracking.

She said multiple times on debate stages over and over again.

Glenn Beck
Right.

And. But that was Donald Trump accusing her.

Bridget Fetici
Yeah. I love when the right wing pounces on things that have been spoken in direct quotes by that person.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

Bridget Fetici
There'S. I think it's just, I also think the right way needs to stay away from, you know, the commentary, the commentators, the childless thing. There's a lot of women who wanted to have kids who couldn't. I think there are a lot of independent women who have been pushed. You know, there's. There's literally men boxing women right now. Men boxing women. And you're calling other people weird. People who support this focus on the erosion of women's rights on the left in policy. It's not just, I think you have to stay away from all that childless stuff is. That's not good. That's not helpful. It turns people off. It turns people away. He's got to pivot.

He's got to kind of distance himself from that. I actually think he was really smart. And even if a lot of the right wing doesn't agree, and being a little bit more moderate on abortion, like, he was kind of doing the right thing to win a general election.

And now he's going to have to really, he's going to have to step it up. But I really think all you have to do is just keep forcing her to reiterate what she believes.

Glenn Beck
Well, she likes, she believes in Venn diagrams and she likes yellow school buses, but who doesn't? Bridget Fetici, thank you so much. Host of walk ins. Welcome.

You can find her podcast every day. Bridget Fetici. Thank you so much, Bridget. I appreciate it.

Bridget Fetici
Thank you for having me.

Glenn Beck
Bye.

God bless. Bye bye. Well, all the power just left the room.

All of it.

Stand up, Glenn Beck.

You ever get the feeling that America picked the wrong decade to stop sniffing glue? Because I think we. I think we'd be better off. I don't know about you, but I think it's crazy to consider, you know, the debate that was happening with Joe Biden and Donald Trump is now in the past, and now we've got a new contender because that one was knocked out. It's. It's nuts.

Look at what's happened in the short period of time. If you don't think terrible changes come quickly and overnight, you're wrong.

You don't want to miss this. We've gotten some new reviews in last night that I just think are great. Haley wrote in and said I couldn't put it down. I just got the book to help pass time while traveling. It's an amazing book. Truly a page turner. I loved how what you were reading really makes you think. I read it straight through and I'm reading it for a second time. If this becomes a series, and I pray it will be, I want to be the first in line for the next book. Stephanie wrote in. I have two questions. When will the next book come out and will there be a movie soon? And yes are the answers that I'm hoping for. This is an excellent book with fabulous characters and one of the best storylines I've seen in a long time. It sneaks in history and makes you think about how you ask questions, how you even know what questions you should ask, and how to accept the answers that blow all of your views apart. You and your young adult kids will love this book. Very well done. And bring book number two on, please.

And one of my favorite great book purchases for my granddaughter, she loves it, my son in law loves it and they keep sharing it along. And I have conversations about the book. I'm going to have to buy another copy for myself. It is a conversation starter. It is a great book. I think. I think you're really going to like it. It's chasing embers.

It is a young adult fiction and it is in bookstores everywhere. Wherever you buy your book, you will find. Well, you might have to go on a chase. If you go into the bookstore, you might actually have to search for it. It's being moved strangely into other sections and behind other books. But you'll walk into a bookstore and they'll go, yeah, I know we have two copies of it left, but we just can't seem to find them. Hmm. I wonder why. Cat ladies. I'm sorry, did I say that out loud? Anyway, chasing embers available everywhere. Stu, I don't know if you know who the Archbishop Vigano is.

Stu
I remember him from previous stories and I know he's been active.

He's been active lately.

Glenn Beck
Yeah. Well, he is. He is a guy who said, I don't remember when. 2012.

I don't think the pope is the pope. I don't think he wasn't elected the right way. He's not really the pope. I don't give him any power or credit as pope. Well, the pope didn't like that. And they gave him a chance to go and have a, you know, a trial for him to be removed as archbishop. And he said, no. The fact that you want to get rid of me, I wear that as a badge of honor.

So he has really become this voice inside and now outside of the Catholic Church. He's been excommunicated.

That is talking much different, way differently than Francis is talking.

So he took on the Olympic Games. And I want you to listen. This came out yesterday, and I read this, and it's.

Much of it is really good. And then.

Well, I'll just read it to you. The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games is only the latest in a long series of vile attacks on God, the catholic religion and natural morality by the antichristic elite that holds western countries hostage. We have seen no less disconcerting scenes at the 2012 London Olympics, the 2016 inauguration of the Goddard Tunnel, and the 2022 Commonwealth Games, featuring infernal figures, goats, and terrifying animals. The elite who organized these ceremonies demand not only for the right to blasphemy and the obscene display of the foulest vices, but they even. But even their mute acceptance by Catholics and decent people who are forced to suffer the outrage of seeing the most sacred symbols of their faith and the very foundations of the natural law. Desecrated.

Excuse me.

We witnessed a dystopian dance, macabre in the holograms of the horsemen of the apocalypse, alternated with a plump blue.

Dionysus served under a bell of various courses, the parody of the LGBTQ Last Supper, the performance of the decapitated Marie Antoinette. Singing called to celebrate the horrors of the French Revolution, the ballets of the bearded transvestites and the effeminate dancers, accompanied by pitiful mime singers. In this provocative special, Satan knows how to do nothing except ruin God's created perfection. Showing himself as the envious author of every counterfeit. Satan creates nothing. He only ruins everything. He does not invent. He tampers. And his followers are no different. They humiliate women's femininity in order to erase the motherhood that recalls the virgin mother. They castrate man's manhood in order to tear him from the image of God's fatherhood. They corrupt the little ones in order to kill innocents in them and make them victims of the most abject woke ism. The opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games have given scandalous not only because of the arrogant display of the ugly and the obscene, but because of the infernal subversion of good and evil. The insane claim to be able to blaspheme and desecrate everything, even what is most sacred, in the name of an ideology of death, ugliness and lies that defy Christ and scandalizes those who recognize him as Lord and God. It is no coincidence that the one sponsoring this revolting carnival is an emissary of the World Economic Forum. Emmanuel Macron, now well, let me Emanuel Macron, who passes off a transvestite as his own wife with impunity just as he goes on, just as Barack Obama is accompanied by a muscular man in a wig.

I don't know what to do with that. I just don't know what to do with this.

Stu
I think you just move on. I think we just move on.

You've read his just move on.

Glenn Beck
Anyway, he goes on. Just. He just goes right back into it. It. And he says it is necessary for christians to organize around the world with concrete actions. First and foremost, with a boycott of the Olympic games and all of their sponsors. It is equally necessary for companies not subservient to globalism to revoke their sponsorship contracts and for delegations and individual athletes to withdraw from the games which were inaugurated under the worst auspices.

We must expect and demand that those responsible for this intolerable bullying be held accountable for their actions, as well as for the corruption that also accompanies this event. Finally, the homosexual set designer who gave birth to this blasphemous and vulgar spectacle must repay the fee that the Macronites charged french taxpayers.

I urge Catholics to make reparation by prayer, fasting and penance for the outrages perpetrated against our Lord Jesus Christ and against our holy religion. And may the confident recourse of those who are good before the throne of the most high not be divorced from a general awakening of consciousness. So the king of kings once may once more reign over nations, societies, families and the church.

I find this really, really good.

And then it's weird to go into calling Emmanuel Macron because I've always heard that as a joke, but apparently people believe his wife is a transvestite.

Is. I mean, I mean, it's not even possible. I mean, what?

And I mean, we joke here about Michelle Obama being big Mike. I don't think she's actually a man.

But I think he does does seem that way.

Stu
I don't know. I mean, the, the archbishops don't always known for their sense of humor, so I don't know.

Glenn Beck
Right, right.

Stu
Like, I think he means it, and.

Glenn Beck
I I think he does.

Stu
I think the big Mike thing seems to be more of a way of getting under the skin of the Obamas more than actually a deep seated belief in some sort of misleading gender that we've all known about that.

Glenn Beck
Right. Maybe that's it, Stu. But I would say for an archbishop making this grand of a statement, it might. It's just so weird that he goes and then he's like, yeah, and your wife's a dude, man.

It seems a little out of place, you know?

Okay, national debt, good news. It surpassed $35 trillion for the first time yesterday.

Stu
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
The debt now 35 trillion, that's 104,000, $497,000 per person, 266,275 per household, and 483,889 per child.

So we are now racking up debt at $268 million per hour, a quarter of a billion dollars per hour.

By the way, Peter Schiff explained that the national debt now is $7.2 trillion increase since Joe Biden took office in January 2021. It took 43 presidents 215 years to add the first 7.2 trillion. It took Biden 3.5 years.

Hmm.

Hmm. That's good.

Stu
Anyway, we survived that any way that ever. Like, how does that get reversed?

Glenn Beck
Speaker one. I don't think we can inflate our money to get out of it.

You know, there's. There's rules on. On all of these things.

Stu
That would be a terrible outcome anyway. I think we just end up MMT at that point.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, we're at MMT.

Modern monetary theory. We're already doing that, Stu. Yeah, I mean, that's what I mean, you know, $7.2 trillion. And before that, Donald Trump, $7.8 trillion. I mean, we're already doing that now. That is their way out. And that doesn't, that doesn't work. So, I mean, the only way out is a new currency, and that will only come after really, really bad hardship.

But good news, if Kamala gets in, that hardship will come.

Maybe that's not good news.

Stu
Did you, do you know what those words mean?

Glenn Beck
I don't think it means what I think it means.

By the way, while we're here, could I just, could I just give you the Venezuela timeline?

You know, riots in the streets.

We're, our government is claiming this wasn't a fair election?

Well, they should know.

But here's what happened. Now, remember, one of the richest countries in the world was Venezuela. In 1992, it was the third richest country in the west.

In 1997, it became the second largest purchaser of f 150 pickup trucks.

Then in 2001, they voted for their first socialist president. On income inequality that led to 2004, private privatized healthcare was completely socialized, so they went to socialized medicine. Then in 2007, all higher education was free.

Then in 2009, and this is always the last sign. Then in 2009, they banned private ownership of guns. Now, this is when Bernie, Bernie Sanders comes out and says, see, this is a perfect american dream.

In Venezuela in 2014, they do what the democrats just started to do. Opposition leaders are imprisoned.

Then 2016, food and health care shortages become widespread.

Then the constitution and elections are suspended.

Then unarmed citizens are massacred by their own government. Oh, by the way, did I tell you that Maduro, Maduro disbanded the Supreme Court because it was corrupt and out of control.

And so he reconstituted. He changed the Supreme Court. Then this weekend, Maduro loses the election by 30 percentage points and yet is still in power.

You can vote your way into socialism, but you cannot vote your way out of it.

Let me tell you about Preborn. When I, when you get to the end of your life, what are the things that you're going to look back on with pride? What accomplishments will you be most proud of? I'm guessing it will be the friends that I have made and the ways that we have been kind to one another and my children and my family and the progress that we have made as a family and the way we are kind to one another. I think those are going to be the only things.

How did you help someone?

Well, there are women that are in great, great peril and need.

Their hour of need is when they find themselves pregnant and no one in their life is supporting them.

Preborn, the largest pro life organization in the country. And they work with compassion. They give the women an ultrasound that shows that, yeah, it is a baby. And then they say, if you feel alone, don't. We're here for you. For the first, I think two or two and a half years, they help provide everything that, that mom might need.

Would you sponsor an ultrasound? A free ultrasound will cost you $28.01 of those ultrasounds. That is critical to the battle of life. Let's join together. Dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby, donate what you can, all tax deductible. Keyword baby, pound 250 or donate@preborn.com.

beck the Glenn Beck program, Glenn's newsletter is free and full of useful info delivered every day right to your inbox. Sign up@glennbeck.com ah, Stu. London Roberts. Who is London Roberts? Do you know? Does that name ring a bell?

Stu
Yes.

Glenn Beck
A mom.

Stu
Yes. This is the mom, if I'm not mistaken, of Hunter's, Hunter Biden's child. Right. So I don't know, I don't know how to explain that relationship exactly, but the president's grandchild's mother.

Glenn Beck
Yes. There you go. So London is going to be on the show with us. She has written a new book, out of the shadows. She's coming on here in just a few minutes to talk about the non existent relationship with the Bidens and their 7th grandchild, Navy.

I have, I have some, I have some amazing things in her bio I've never heard before.

And we're gonna, we're gonna talk to her. Interesting life and an interesting, an interesting group of people she had hung out with temporarily.

Stu
We gotta stand together.

If I go to survive, stand up straight.

Glenn Beck
It's a new day. I turn around.

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I believe what we witnessed over the last couple of weeks was a coup on the president. It would be our first coup, but we're headed towards the banana Republic. So, you know, what difference does that make? It's just another, is this another road sign closer to our destination of a banana Republic? But it happened. He resigned, I believe, because Barack Obama said it's going to be the 25th amendment or you're going to resign today.

And Kamala Harris is behind that and she has the votes in your cabinet. So which do you choose?

I think that's what happened. Now, they didn't present it that way, but there's a lot of stuff that has happened that the media and those in Washington, DC don't present in a truthful matter. When I say London Roberts, the mother of Joe Biden's granddaughter, Navy, the one he won't recognize, what has the media told you about her?

Well, what do you know about her, honestly? How did they meet?

I would have said, before I started doing my research, I would have said, well, at a strip club. Right? Because she was a stripper, wasn't she?

And that casts a completely different look at an individual.

I want to explain in 60 seconds, tunnel to Towers, a man named Adam Mayo. He was deployed to Iraq twice, once to Afghanistan. While he was on deployment, he took a shot to the neck, which left him paralyzed from the neck down. It was really a dark time for him and his family. Can you imagine? But thanks to donations from people just like you, the Tunnel to Towers foundation was able to give the Mayo family a specifically adapted smart home which not only helped lift a financial burden for them but also helped him adapt to coming back to his life and his family and he adapt to his injury. The foundation also supports gold star families and their families of first responders that have fallen and is working to eliminate veteran homelessness across America. This is shameful what we are doing. Please be on the good side. Wear the white hat.

Would you donate consider donating $11 a month to tunnel to Towers, the foundation that does good things in the names of our country's heroes. They help them every way they can and their families. T two t.org is the web address. That's t the number two t.org. donate now. $11 a month goes a long, long way. Tunnel to towers t two t.org dot welcome to the program. London Roberts, the author of out of the shadows, a new book about her relationship with the president's son and having the granddaughter that the president's family doesn't seem to want to recognize. I just want to give you her bio here because I've never heard anything like this from the media. London Roberts is a mother, an author and a financial officer and a financial officer from Batesville, Arkansas. Her all star basketball career culminated at Arkansas State University where she was a McDonald's all american nominee shooting guard. She also studied criminal justice and psychology. She went on to Washington DC for the most prestigious CSI training in the country.

That's where she met and began a relationship with Hunter Biden. She served as Biden's executive assistant at Rosemont, Seneca and other business entities. Now serves as the financial controller for her family owned business Rob Roberts Custom.

She is the mother of Navy President Biden's 7th grandchild. She is in the process of launching a new fashion line, serves as an advocate for women in unplanned pregnancies. Welcome London Roberts, how are you?

London Roberts
Hi, I'm good gwen, how are you?

Glenn Beck
Very good. Why is it the press has made you into just a stripper?

London Roberts
You know, I'm not so sure. I've sat back and you know, a lot of whatever narrative to be thrown my way and you know, it seemed that you know, everyone had a different narrative than what the truth was and.

Glenn Beck
So were you ever a stripper?

London Roberts
Well, you know, in my, in the book out of the shadows I talk about living in DC and I talk about, you know, there's a chapter called on the pole, and you know what that consists of. I would love people to buy it and read that part for themselves because the media has put so much of a narrative around that part, and that part plays such a little role in the actual truth and the story of everything that actually happened.

And, you know, I didn't.

Glenn Beck
You did not meet him at the club?

London Roberts
I did not meet him at a strip club.

I met Hunter through a mutual friend that had invited me to go to, like I say, an after party, but it really wasn't a party. It was just some people hanging out, having drinks and just talking.

And it wasn't like your college after party, but it was actually held at Rosemont Seneca, which was Hunter's firm, and at the house of Sweden. And I actually met him that night and got to know him.

Glenn Beck
And how did you become his executive assistant?

London Roberts
So I got to know him after that night. I stayed up. I talk about, you know, that encounter and finding out who he was and seeing this demon that he was battling and having this empathy for him. And, you know, a relationship developed, and I began to care for him and I began to fall in love with him. And, you know, it developed for over a year. There would be times where, you know, I talk about throughout the book, even Halle, his sister in law, confided in me and said, you know, hunter trusts you, and that's something that, you know, is hard to come by. Like, he doesn't trust a whole lot of people. And, you know, we developed this friendship, you know, and then it led on into, you know, a relationship and.

And then, you know, I start working for him and I talk about how, you know, I start doing, like, little ins and I out, like, executive assistant type work where I'm doing, like, running errands for him and things to that nature. And then I'm, like, meeting Katie Dodge, his other assistant, at the office, to go over and, you know, help. Like, she's showing me how, you know, to pay the bills, to do all this other stuff, moving his stuff. You know, he had. He had just gone through a divorce, moving furniture to storage units and to the house and stuff like that. So, you know, I was. I was. It developed over time. I didn't immediately become his assistant, but, you know, over time, when our relationship developed and this friendship developed and we began to get closer, is what I thought then, you know, he. He wanted me to be his assistant. And so I hopped on board and thought that was, you know, such a great idea.

And I ended up in the situation I'm in today.

Glenn Beck
So did you know the side of Hunter Biden I. That we now know because of the laptop?

London Roberts
I would say yes and no because, you know, Hunter, of course, as he's been candid about and as we see from the laptop, was in a really dark place, and he was battling addiction. And the first few chapters of the book, you know, I explained meeting him and caring for him and loving him. And, you know, I think anybody that has loved or cared for someone that's suffering from addiction can resonate with that, with that part of the book, because it's hard. You feel like, you know, you're enabling and you're not, you know, doing your part, like you should have to, you know, help him get that. That change. You know, there was even one chapter that, you know, I talk about. I thought Hunter's life was going to end that night. He had consumed so many drugs, and he was a. He was at the day I'd ever seen him. And, you know, he found his way to me because he knew that I'd take care of him. And I did. I sat there with the phone in my hand that entire night, wondering, you know, listening to his breathing and crying and praying and wondering, you know, should I call 911? But if I do and I call the ambulance and get them here, yes, I save his life. But I knew. I knew Hunter well enough to know that he hated being the black sheep of his family. And that's what he felt like. He felt like he was constantly a disappointment and a scandal plagued son, you know?

And so I knew that if I did that, then he would hate me forever and never speak to me again. So I sit there and I monitored his breathing the entire night. I got him water. I tried to make him drink it. And, you know, there are some dark times, and there are some dark chapters that bring out that place that he was in during that time. But, you know, there's also some chapters that. That show the good that was in him, too. The good that I saw, the good that I fell in love with. You know, I may have been young and dumb and naive, but there was a good side to him that I seen. And.

Glenn Beck
Do you still love him?

London Roberts
No. I always care about Hunter because, you know, he. He blessed me with the greatest blessing I could have ever asked for, and that was my daughter. But, you know, I talk about the last time I felt like I was in love with him is around pregnancy time. You know, I was.

That's when our relationship ended. And he said that he was going to be there for me. And I scheduled a sonogram to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time, and I scheduled it in Annapolis because that's where his house was at the time that he was staying in. So I wanted to make it easier for him. And he actually didn't show up. And I listened to our baby's heartbeat alone. And every sonogram after that, I went to alone. And you know that you'll fall out of love when you go through something like that.

Glenn Beck
And, you know, you drove yourself to the hospital to give birth alone. An hour and a half, if I'm not mistaken, in labor.

London Roberts
I drove to the hospital after the water, my water broke. I drove to all my appointments.

I went into, you know, I went in the back. I did all the sonogram. I did the whole pregnancy thing alone. And I blamed him for a long time because I felt like he put me in such a dark place where I contemplated taking my own life. But, you know, I talk about how, you know, I have to be. I'm accountable for my own feelings and getting myself in that direction place. Even though he didn't show up and he didn't do his part, it's still, you know, mental health is still on me. And that was, you know, a hole that I had to dig myself out of. And, you know, I talk about the faith of a mustard seed and the maternal instinct and mother's love that I have for my daughter is what got me out of that dark place and, you know, allowed me to stand here today and tell my story.

Glenn Beck
So why won't they recognize Navy?

London Roberts
You know, that's something I just. I don't know. I've. I've never been able to answer that question because I can't. I can't imagine how embracing a child would hurt anyone's image. I think it would be a feather in their cap to, you know, acknowledge a child and love one. I don't understand.

Glenn Beck
You. You talk in the book about this time when you guys, you and Navy, you're in a nail salon, and she sees Grandpa up on tv, and she says, that's my grandpa. And you say, yeah, keep your voice down. But, yes, it is. And you have a conversation with her that he's very busy right now, but when he's done, he's going to come and see her. Do you believe that.

London Roberts
She is actually the one that says, you know, when I have.

Glenn Beck
Oh, she says that?

London Roberts
Yes. When I have the conversation with her, you know, she wants to know she's getting to that age, or she had gotten to that age where she's like, you know, so and so has a mom and dad, and I only have a mom, and so other person has a mom and dad, and I only have a mom. Like, do I not have a dad? And so I tell her, you know, I talk about, I want her to be resilient. I want her to be open minded. I want her to have grace. I want her to have forgiveness in her heart, even to people who might not deserve it or ask for it.

And, you know, I talk about being open with her and just telling her, yes, you know, you do have a dad. And, well, what's his name? You know, and she wants to see him. And I show her a picture, and I talk about how I just tell her, I don't know what to tell her, you know, because she's too young to comprehend just everything.

And so I tell her, you know, that her dad's a really busy man. He lives far away. Because she wants to know, why doesn't my dad come visit me? And so I make excuses and I tell her that, you know, he's a busy man, he lives far away. And then, you know, I tell her what her grandfather does, and she says, oh, so that's why they don't come to visit me, because he's out helping other people. Because I tell her the role that he plays with, you know, being the leader of the free world.

Glenn Beck
Yeah.

London Roberts
And she says, oh, so that's why he don't come to see me, because he's out visiting. He's out helping other people. But when he's done helping them, then he'll come see me, right? And I'm like, I can only hope so, sis. You know, I don't have an answer for that. And, and I don't. And I've said from the beginning, you know, I'll be open with maybe as open as I possibly can.

And someday, if she hates that side of the family, it will be because of their actions and what they did and didn't do.

It won't be because of me. I won't instill that hatred in her heart.

I don't want her to carry that hatred in her heart. But someday she's going to feel that hatred, and, you know, that's, that's a burden that I hope that will be.

Glenn Beck
Her for her to find and discover. You're doing the right thing, I think. Don't, don't ever. Don't ever do anything but say the truth and the good things that you remember, let her find everything else herself. She'll find the truth eventually. London, it's good to talk to you. And our sympathy is with Navy.

I think most Americans, Democrats and Republicans, think this is insanity, the way this whole thing has been handled.

And I worry about her future, as I think many Americans do.

London, thank you.

Bridget Fetici
I worry.

Glenn Beck
Out of the shadows is the name of the book out of the shadows by London Roberts, the author and the mother of Navy, the 7th grandchild of the president of the United States. Back in just a second.

You know, I have to tell you, I don't care if all the bombs have gone off and the land is just a steaming pile of radioactive rubble. My primary question is when we've reached the last days of the apocalypse, it still will be. So what are we having for dinner tonight? Okay. And if you're like me, you understand the importance of not only having emergency food, but having delicious emergency food. I don't want to live in a world where everybody else is dead and I have to eat, you know, potatoes and, and things that came from a can, you know, that taste like crap spam. I don't want to live in that world. My patriot supply is the nation's leader in high quality emergency food and other preparedness equipment. Having served millions of american families, they are the most trusted name in survival. I think they're the biggest in the world now. They provide peace of mind for your family.

My patriotsupply.com ten second station id tomorrow on the Wednesday night special, we're going to talk about something that really haven't talked about very much. Today we will expose the Democrats plan to hijack the Supreme Court. This is what happens in banana republics.

It is the last step that a dictator or a dictator wannabe takes because that guarantees his right to power.

Immediately after the release of multiple US Supreme Court decisions at the end of the latest term, the left had a collective meltdown over the direction of the court.

President Biden called for Americans to dissent from the court's recent decisions, and he pledged to unveil plans soon for some major changes to the court.

Now they can't, he can't make these. The Senate and the House Democrats have moved to investigate and impeach Justice Thomas and Alito. Hmm. What do they have in common?

Why are they freaking out so much?

It's not because they are trying to make the president invincible and all powerful. It is the exact opposite of that. What the Supreme Court has been doing is saying the, the administrative state doesn't have the power to make these laws. So the president can't just tell his administrators, yeah, impose this rule on people. He can't do that because the Congress is supposed to pass the laws. And this is something we lost long, long time ago. So most people probably don't even know what they're talking about. They're talking to their butt.

But if you know the constitution, the Supreme Court is separate but equal, and it is only supposed to say that's constitutional. That is not, they're not there to make laws.

So we're going to expose the reason why the, the left is freaking out. Also expose the dark money groups that are campaigning to change and expand the court. We'll also look at the leaks of decisions related to abortion.

Yeah, there's, there's a couple of people that nobody really looked at.

I wonder why.

What is the true story? Tomorrow night, 09:00 p.m. eastern on blaze tv. Why? Why? Biden's final move is to destroy the Supreme Court. That, by the way, I think was the historic side of. That was the Beck story last weekend, episode five, maybe five or six.

And it is really, really good. You will understand the Supreme Court and everything that's going on and why Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer are doing what they're doing now to the Supreme Court. They are trying to recapture the court the way they had it from Woodrow Wilson up until Eisenhower.

There was some really interesting things happening at the Supreme Court that you've never heard of.

And you'll be able to spot the leak pretty quickly after you hear that. That's the Beck story. Episode seven comes out Saturday. Glenn Beck.

New book, chasing embers out right now. You can get it at glenn beck.com or wherever books are sold.

Glenn Beck
Alrighty then. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

So glad you're here. Thank you so much for listening.

I want you to know I'm boycotting the Olympics, so I'm taking a hard stand. Stu's not, but I'm doing it. You had a hard stand, a boycott. Standing up for what I believe in.

Stu
You don't watch the Olympics at all? You don't watch sports in any form?

Glenn Beck
I'm sure not going to.

Stu
No, you don't have to.

Glenn Beck
I'm not going to watch the Olympics. No.

Stu
That's like, you can't just boycott something you don't normally participate in. That's not a boycott. That's just you doing you. That's all that is.

Glenn Beck
Yeah, well, you can spin it any way you want, Heathen, but I haven't.

Stu
Watched any of it either.

Glenn Beck
Are you watching? Are you watching any of it?

Stu
The only stuff I've seen has been stuff that has been clipped online. The only exception to that, potentially, would be my daughter, really. You know, she's into gymnastics and does want to watch some of the Simone biles stuff, which we haven't actually watched yet. I believe some of its occurred, but I have a bunch of stuff recorded and at some point she may watch some of it, but so far, the entirety has been zero minutes.

Glenn Beck
You know, the Olympics have changed a lot. I mean, if you don't have an evil empire, which we may be to the rest of the world, I'm not sure. But if you don't have an evil empire to go up against, it's not as fun.

Stu
Who says we don't have an evil empire to go up against? I feel like we do. That exists.

Glenn Beck
I mean, Russia's not allowed to be in it.

Stu
China.

Glenn Beck
China is, I guess, not a friend.

Stu
Of the United States. I would say at this point.

Glenn Beck
No, no, no, they're not. Yeah, but it's not the same as, you know, it's just not the same as the old Soviet Union. I want the Soviet Union back. Just. I'm with Putin. Bring the Soviet Union back just to make the Olympic Games fun again, you know, when they would bring in, you know, men dressed as women to do the weightlifting and.

Stu
That sounds exotic. They would never try that today. Men dressed as women.

Glenn Beck
No.

Stu
That is way off. Off the reservation in there, Glenn. I can't believe you'd suggest such a thing. That's happening right now. And it's not just happening now in sports, making sports a little bit less competitive and unfair to women's athletes. Something, you know, you've talked to Riley Gaines about and is very, very important. As I mentioned, I have a daughter in women's sports or girls sports at this point, and it's important to me that men don't dominate the sports that she's in. That's important.

More important to me is I don't think we should turn domestic violence into a spectator sport, which is what we've done with the Olympics, because they've let men enter the women's boxing competition. There we are.

Glenn Beck
It's insane.

Stu
We're. There they are having men punch women in the face for sport on television. Who's weird? Tell me again about who's weird. I'd love to know, because to me, it seems like the weird thing is having an entire movement talking about how off color jokes should get men fired at the office while at the same time cheering on women getting punched in the face by males.

That, to me, is a lot more offensive and a lot more weird.

Glenn Beck
How are other countries putting up with this? Are they doing the same thing?

Stu
I think there's two males who are saying they're women in female boxing in the Olympics. Now, they were both, I believe, banned in whatever the previous big, you know, world championships or whatever the previous big competition was. So they failed the. What they say is they failed the gender test, which, again, is, no, they're just men. Okay. That they didn't fail the gender test. They're just men. But, I mean, I'll take it at this point from the, the other organizations that are at least not letting this occur because it is one thing thing to have a guy score 45 points in a basketball game or set a new world record when it comes to a swimming time or whatever. That's all really bad.

I am almost and may be at the level where I want just female boxing band. I don't want to see women get punched in the face. I am old timey that way. I don't think that's a good pastime for us to engage in. And the fact that they're allowing now men to come in and do it to me, this blatantly should be illegal. Let not, not wrong in certain competitions, just illegal.

Men punching women in the face should be illegal. Is this a tough stand? Am I taking a, is this a hot take? I feel like it should be obvious.

Glenn Beck
To everybody you're a weirdo.

You're a weirdo. You're like JD Vance.

Just weird. Right? America say with me? Yeah, I mean, everybody's saying it weird. And it's weird that everybody is now saying that, but they're all saying it.

Stu
And then what they would say is, you know, stupor gear has a weird obsession with women being punched. Like, wait a minute, I'm fighting against it.

And they are doing that with the drag queen thing. Now, I think it was Senator Chris Murphy, who, you know, is a joke, but he's from Connecticut and he's, you know, doing the typical, you know, talking points he's been handed. And the talking points instructed him to, to say on television that republicans have a weird obsession with drag queens. Now our obsession is don't do it. Don't jiggle your genitals in front of children, okay? It's not an obsession with the action. It's an obsession with wanting to watch it. It's wanting to stop it. We don't want children exposed to it. But again, if you're from the left and you say drag queens are fantastic and wonderful, why would it be bad that? Why would it be weird that I'm obsessed with them? Like, none of this makes any sense. If you, if it's such a wonderful activity, then being obsessed with them wouldn't be weird. But you know it's weird. You know it. And it comes through. You're talking to talking points. It seeps through the spaces between the logic. Anyone who wants to look at it can find it. But this is who these people are now. And, and when you have an entire media along for the ride to gently glide all your pathetic points through the washing machine so they come out on the other side perfectly clean.

Then you have a process that I guess maybe this is going to work on the american people. I don't know. It's, it, it shouldn't, but maybe it will.

Glenn Beck
You know, I did you, were you old enough to remember Nadia Komaneech?

Stu
Only, you know, loosely. I had to do a, I had to do a report on her back in high school.

So I know a little bit about her. Well, I had to do a report on Romania.

Glenn Beck
Report on her in high school.

Stu
Yeah, on Romania we had this thing called adopt a country. Is this the thing that was widely done with adopt a country where you had to, you got like basically randomly assigned a country and we had to write a 100 page report. I remember, 100 page report.

Are they doing that today with kids? 100 page report on the freaking country of Romania? Like other people were getting, like Mexico and Russia or the Soviet Union, I guess. I don't know. I guess it was Russia at that point.

Anyway, long story short, I could not find any information. This is pre Internet days. And so it was because the two things I put in the report were every single score that Natalie Komnici ever had in any gymnastics competition that I could find details of that took up multiple, like ten pages. And then also the caviar fisherman of Romania, which was a, which was an article in National Geographic that chimed in about 36 pages, which I included almost every single one of them in the report. To try to get to 100 pages on removal mania today. You could have Jackie T. Write it for you in like 10 seconds. But back then it was may I?

Glenn Beck
May I? I just, I just wrote into chat GPT I didn't know it was about, just about Romania. I just put, write a hundred page report on Nadia Koman each from the Olympics.

Stu
Oh my God.

Glenn Beck
Ready?

Okay.

Wow. That's a substantial task.

Let's start by outlining a detailed structure to get you started with some content. Here's comprehensive outline and an introduction to get us going. Nadia Komonic, legendary journey into Olympics table of contents introduction two early life and training. Childhood and early interests discovery and early training. Three road to the Olympics competitions leading to the Olympics challenges and breakthroughs the 76 Montreal Olympics preparation for Montreal performance highlights perfect tens, medals and achievements. I mean, it just goes on and on and on and on and on.

Why, why are our kids only have to write like a two page report now when you didn't have any of the information?

Like you said, you had two articles that you could find. And you probably had to go to the library for it.

Stu
Yeah, I had to go through. So you have two articles library and the National Geographic Archives. I had to go through to find something on Romania because it just was not a big topic at the time.

Glenn Beck
Wow.

And now we're. Now we're assigning two pages and chat GPT just wrote 100 pages just on Nadia Komin each.

Stu
I really don't know how we're off topic here, but I don't know how. How school exists. No, I know there's a story. Greg Abbott tweeted about this earlier this week that a school district in Texas banned phones. They're not.

Glenn Beck
No.

Stu
People are no longer able to bring phones into the classroom.

How is that not already the only possible. The only choice?

How is it news that they're banning? Like, it should be incredible news if they allow phones into a classroom with chat GPT as an app, how could you possibly manage that situation as a teacher? Not to mention how horrible it is for 5000 other reasons.

Glenn Beck
So I saw an ad from Google, which is a sponsorship of Team USA. Can we play this ad?

Stu
Sarah?

Glenn Beck
My little girl has always been a runner, just like me.

I've always thought she was following in my footsteps. Hey, go get a baby. But lately she's been looking up to someone else.

Sydney's done it again.

She might even be the world's number one Sydney fan. And like Sydney, she's focused on her technique. Good job, baby.

Accelerate out the curve.

High knees, high knees. There you go. She wants to show Sydney some love. And I'm pretty good with words, but this has to be just right. So, Gemini, help my daughter write a letter telling Sydney how inspiring she is. And be sure to mention that my daughter plans on breaking her world record one day.

Is sorry, not sorry.

And then it goes into Chet GPT writing the letter for her or Gemini.

What? I don't want to. I don't want to be. That means nothing.

First of all, the kid didn't write it at all. Dad had Gemini write it and then probably read it to her. Or she could read and then she sends a. Say what the. I don't want fan mail from a computer.

Who wants to get. Are you. Do you really think they're going to put that letter up on her locker there, as opposed to something that she wrote herself and, you know, put crayon all over it? And I love you, Sidney. Right?

Stu
That's what you want.

Glenn Beck
That's nuts, right?

Stu
If you're an athlete or a celebrity, that's like that's what you want. You want the letter that's like scribbly and missed spelled words and the Koran drawings. That's what you want. You want something from chat, GPT, or Gemini. Well, good with that.

Glenn Beck
Wait, wait. Go to chat GPT, ask them to write a letter from a six year old to me as a fan, but include all the misspellings in the typical kid language. See what it, see if it can do that. Okay, back in just a minute. First, let me tell you about the burn and launcher. In dangerous emergency situations, a lot of times there are gray areas. For instance, not in every situation which somebody is seeking to do you and your family harm. Calls for deadly force. Don't get me wrong, lots of them do, but not all of them. And if you have the opportunity to stop someone without killing them in most cases, wouldn't you?

We've been firing the burnout launcher up here and doing practice with the burnout launcher. It's incredibly accurate. And our security team is like, we want to carry these as well, um, because it's a great non lethal alternative and it hurts getting hit by one of these things. And that's not in, that's just a practice ball. It's, it's not even a, it's not the tear gas or the pepper or anything like that. It's legal in all 50 states. And if you're over 18, you can carry it, pack it in your luggage that's checked without the need to declare it as a firearm. It has powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic grounds.

We'll be right back.

So, Stu, we were just talking about that commercial from Google where Gemini wrote a letter for this guy's daughter to Olympic athlete, and I don't think that has meaning unless, unless, you know, Gemini or chat GPT could write it in the voice of a, like a five year old.

Stu
Yeah.

Glenn Beck
And you were gonna have you were gonna have chat. Cpt. Try to write one.

Stu
Yeah. Here we have.

Glenn Beck
Here we have.

Stu
Dear Mister Glenn. Hi, my name is Jamie. I am six years old. I really like when you talk about the flag and how you help people point out that really is reely and people is P E E P l E. My daddy says you are a patriot. That's a big word. I think it means you love your country lots. I love my country, too. I saw you on tv and you were smiling.

I drawed a picture of you with the flag. I used red and blue crayons. My mom helped me with the stars. I hope you like it. It. Do you like crayons?

Thank you for being nice. You are my hero. Like Captain America. Your friend, Jamie. Ps, I have a dog named Max. Do you have a dog that's legitimately what it came up with?

Glenn Beck
Yeah, because I got a I got a really interesting letter, too, because I wrote to you. I had somebody write, said to chat GPT right in the voice of a five year old to a radio producer named Stu from the Glenn Beck program.

Dear Mister Stu, my name's Lily. I'm five years old. I listen to your show with my mommy and daddy every day. I love glenn cause he's super smart and teaches me lots of cool things, like how caterpillars turn into butterfly and why the sky is blue. He's my favorite. But you know what, Mister Stu? I like you too. Even though you sound like a poopy pants.

It's funny when you talk because your voice makes me.

Mommy says you're kind of mommy says you're kind of balding, which I think means you don't have a lot of hair on your head.

Bridget Fetici
Really?

Glenn Beck
That's okay, because I think it makes you look I think it makes you look like my grandpa. And I love him a lot, too.

Stu
Aw, I love Lily.

Glenn Beck
He's so sweet.

Yeah. Mister Poopy pants, the Glenn Beck program.
