Meet Your New Fiancée: ChatGPT?! | Guest: Joseph Hanneman | 6/20/25

I get so many headaches every month.

It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

Botox, autobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine.

It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month.

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.

Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection, site pain, fatigue, and headache.

Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.

Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lugerig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Why wait?

Ask your doctor.

Have you ever felt like you're kind of living in a bad sci-fi movie?

Well, welcome to 2025, where criminals are using AI to steal homes titles.

And this is like, this isn't like, remember the Net?

Was it Julia Roberts, maybe?

I don't know.

There's a slew of those in the 90s that were just like really bad technology technology movies, and you'd just be like looking at computer screens for most of the movie.

If you don't want your equity to just vanish overnight, you should be worried about this.

It's a simple and scary crime.

Criminals just forge your signature, they fake a notary stamp, and they file a few cheap documents.

County clerks approve it without your second glance, and then, of course, your home's title quietly slips away, and massive loans get taken out in your name.

When was the last time you checked your home's title?

Probably never.

That's exactly what these thieves count on.

And you can only find out all of this stuff when the papers show up and your foreclosure starts.

You don't want to deal with it at that point.

Stop it before it starts.

Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.

Stand your ground when times get dark.

Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America.

It's Friday from the Standing Rock Ranch in the Rocky Mountain West.

We are glad that you are here today.

Boy,

just when you thought America could not become

more bizarre or more unexplainable,

wait.

Just wait until the end of today's podcast.

You won't know what's up or what's down.

It has gone insane.

But

we're going to look at some of the things that are a little more entertaining.

I mean,

why not laugh?

Why not laugh all the way down to the bottom of the pit?

We are going to talk a little bit about the latest on Michelle Obama.

The New York City Pride Parade is in trouble.

Cynthia Nixon, the actress, she says her daughter, which is now, she calls her son, is on a hunger strike to support Gaza.

Oh, that works out well.

The Democrats are confused.

I mean,

what do we do now?

I don't even understand.

Why aren't people sending us money and sending us checks to the DNC?

Meanwhile,

you've got care giving $100,000 to the

communist Islamist that is running for mayor of New York.

So you got that going.

I don't don't know.

DNC, what do you think is happening?

I just don't understand it.

Oh, and by the way, boy, I'm such a racist.

I'm sorry.

I didn't even mention.

It's Juneteenth.

Have you decorated your tree yet?

All right, we're going to go there here in just a second.

Stand by

for more in just a second.

Let me first tell you about

Mercury Real Estate.

When it comes time for...

okay, legacy box.

Hang on just a second.

Let me go to Legacy Box.

Funny thing about memories is you think that they'll always be there.

By the time somebody, you know, asked permission,

you know, to

nobody, nobody asked you permission to erase all of your stuff, but it erases anyway because it's in your attic or it's

someplace.

Photos fade, they get damaged, the equipment to play them.

I mean, I don't even have any.

I don't even recognize some of the tapes that all of my old videos are on.

Have you gotten to that yet?

Somewhere in the closet or the attic, you got a box full of moments that matter.

First steps, grandparents, voices, holidays, long past.

Legacy Box would like to help you.

Did I miss Juneteenth?

Yesterday was June.

How did I miss that, Stu?

I don't know.

It was, I mean, we've already taken our tree down.

I haven't even put mine up yet.

Oh, my God.

It's already down.

My gosh.

It didn't seem like it's that important to you at all.

Well, it is.

I mean, it's one that I've known since I was a kid.

Ever since I was a little kid, we were like, why isn't Juneteenth a national holiday?

You know, the thing I like about Juneteenth

is that,

I mean, usually it takes us about a hundred years before we forget why we have a holiday.

You know what I mean?

We're like, oh, it's President's Day.

I don't remember any of the Presidents, so it doesn't matter.

But I mean, as I was a kid, you know, it took us about, I don't know, maybe a couple hundred years to forget the meaning of that one.

Labor Day, Memorial Day, we pretty much forget about that one.

The great thing about Juneteenth is we never really knew what it was about in the first place.

So we just, we just cut right to the ending.

Oh, it's a holiday.

We, you know, we can,

I don't know.

You want to get together, have some hot dogs or something?

I hate this, though.

Juneteenth is actually, should be a really cool holiday.

Like, I'd much rather celebrate Juneteenth than President's Day.

Screw the presidents.

Most of them screwed screwed all this up anyway.

Juneteenth.

Well, first of all, it was only two presidents.

It was

Lincoln

and Washington.

No, no, no, but it wasn't supposed to be.

Yes, it's McKinley.

That's who we're really celebrating.

I mean, Juneteenth is a perfect reminder to everyone that we

face the possibility.

of severe government oppression and we have overcome it in the past.

This is a reminder that government oppression ended.

That is what Juneteenth is.

It's something that conservatives should love, but they've turned it into this like woke, you know, an additional day of pride month.

No,

I have to tell you, I already celebrate that on Independence Day.

I don't mind more than one day to celebrate that concept.

People need to remember

that government oppression sucks.

Including, by the way, our own country.

It's not all about

outside forces.

Do you need to have another holiday and 30% off patio furniture for the weekend?

To celebrate that?

First of all, after going through four years of Joe Biden, yes, we do need another day with 30% off of items.

Nobody knows what Juneteenth even was.

You never

heard of it.

You never heard of it.

Never.

And now we've got freedom walks breaking out all over the...

You know, I've got a freedom walk.

I've got a 5K freedom walk this weekend.

And,

you know, it's great.

We just gave everybody the day off.

That's all that is.

Who got the day off?

I keep hearing people say, because I'm with you on that.

We have too many days.

Were banks off?

I mean, maybe they were.

I didn't go to the bank yesterday, so I suppose it could have been closed, but I didn't notice any difference.

I went to a decent amount of businesses yesterday.

All of them were open.

They all seem.

And by the way, this is in Texas where there actually is a history with Juneteenth.

Like, it actually was a thing here long before America picked it up.

In Texas,

it is a great holiday.

In Texas, it's great because it's a Texas thing.

Since when does the left ever go, you know what?

This is a really good thing that Texas has done.

When?

Yeah.

When?

It is.

It's like

Ramahama Kwanzmus.

That's all that is.

That's all that is.

But this is.

Now it's on our calendars.

I mean,

I had to survive 12 years of school without ever hearing about how did I do it?

How did I do it?

Oh, I don't know.

I don't know how I became a decent human being that knows history and

knows about slavery and

who actually was for slavery and who wasn't.

who was actually in the Klan and who wasn't.

Which political party started the Klan?

Which was the political party that was in charge of Texas for Juneteenth?

I know all of that.

But, you know, hey, I got to get some patio furniture.

So,

and some barbecue.

We got to have some barbecue this weekend for Juneteenth.

You know, I probably wouldn't have a problem if not everything had been turned into some sort of a you will comply.

I need, I can't take it.

And I think the rest of America is like, listen to this one from Bloomberg.

Spokesperson for the group Heritage of Pride confirmed that 25% of their corporate sponsors had either pulled out of sponsoring New York City's Pride Parade or reduced contributions, leaving organizers scrambling to replace those funds.

The vast majority of what we have heard is folks are treading carefully from economic perspective.

Yeah, that's probably.

you know, a good portion of it.

But also, I think companies are kind of like, you know what?

I think you kind of went over the line and the American people are about to turn turn on all of this.

I have a feeling that might play a role.

Some mentioned that they have a fear of potential blowback from the Trump administration.

If you're a big corporation and you're

publicly supporting DEI initiatives.

Hmm.

Yeah, well.

That's interesting.

Now you know what it feels like when you're afraid of the government, huh?

Maybe we should reduce the size of the government so nobody is afraid of the government.

No, that's crazy.

We've got to get another person in there who can control absolutely everything.

You know, the way we agree.

Okay, all right, good.

Meanwhile, you have actress Cynthia Nixon.

Wasn't she in the

show called, you know, with the Sex in the City.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Ran for governor.

at one point, I think, or mayor, something like that in New York.

She did.

You know,

isn't it crazy that, let me, let me see see here.

Hang on just a second.

What is the guy's name?

That Zoran

Mondani?

Yeah.

Zoran Mondani could be in the lead position or at least a close second in the New York City race.

And Cynthia Nixon is like, yeah, I'm not interested in any of that.

But Zoran Mambati, which, I mean, Zoran, isn't that like, isn't that like, seriously, wasn't that,

wasn't that one of the bad guys in the jungle or something in, you know, a Robin Williams movie at some point where the jungle game was played?

Wasn't that maybe the name of

that game?

I think you might be thinking of Zorin Industries, which was a bad guy in A View to a Kill.

The Bond movie, which I love to recognize.

He tried to take Silicon Valley.

Yeah, yeah.

Tried to take out Silicon Valley.

Again, we should revisit that plot.

I think it would improve things.

So anyway, Cynthia Nixon,

she is very upset.

She said her trans son, aka

a girl,

who is, I don't know why this is part of the story, who is an observant Jew, is currently on a hunger strike in Chicago to support Gaza.

so let me see see if I have this right let's see if they can make this any more confusing

a girl who claims to be a boy

who also is an observant Jew is standing up for the people killing the Jews

that makes sense happy Juneteenth everybody

okay now uh the Democrats again they're having a hard time raising funds.

The Democrats are having a really hard time.

They've doubled down now

on the sex changes for minors.

Okay, you're 12, and Chuck Schumer wants to make sure that you can cut your breast off or your peepee off.

And, you know, because that's your right.

As a 12-year-old, that's your right.

No, you can't own a gun.

No, you can't have liquor.

No, you can't can't vote.

No, you can't have sex with who you choose, but you can cut your penis off.

That's not a problem at all.

Today, the Supreme Court chose to abandon trans children in America.

That's what we did.

I don't know if you noticed that.

We took a bus out.

We got all the trans children, including Cynthia Nixon's son or daughter, or I don't remember, Jew, Hamas member.

I don't know.

But we rounded them all up.

We put them on a bus, and then we just abandoned them in the middle of the desert.

That's what we we did.

Because we think that's much more compassionate.

Upholding the Tennessee ban on medical care for trans kids is just heartless.

It is a sad, sad day.

I don't, I,

one of us is wrong.

I'm not sure who it is, but Chuck, I think one of us is out of touch with reality.

I mean, I know you really want to kill kids before they're born, you know, or even just kill them while they're being born.

I know that's a really big thing with you guys.

I think it's wrong.

I think you're on the wrong side on that one.

But I mean, what do you do with kids?

They won't let us kill them.

Can't we just mutilate them?

No, no.

And then, in some really,

really, really sad and shocking news,

Mrs.

Obama

hates being called Mrs.

Obama.

That's, I didn't see that one coming, but that's apparently a big story because

of what else she says.

Hmm.

Give me a minute and we'll come back to that.

Now, let me tell you about moving.

When it comes time for you to move, whether,

you know, whether it is.

Whether it's just a

Okay, can somebody tell me why my commercials are all wrong today, Sarah, please?

Can we figure out what's happening?

Thank you.

I've started this commercial twice now.

Let's do it all day.

Okay,

what is the sponsor this time?

It's Leaf Filter.

Okay, well, I love leaves.

I just don't like them in my gutters.

So let me tell you about Leaf Filter.

The gutters are not there for decoration, apparently.

I know it surprised me when I found that out.

I'm like, they're just so pretty.

I just like them.

And then they got the leaves in them and all the colors.

It's just great.

Actually, a critical part part of your home's defense system: diverting water away from your roof, your walls, your foundation.

And when they clog, they fail.

And when they fail, the repairs get expensive very, very fast.

That's why I want you to consider getting Leaf Filter.

Their micro mesh gutter protection system

fits right into your existing gutters and keeps out leaves and debris and pine needles, and you name it.

Once it's installed, you don't have to worry about hiring cleaners or climbing a ladder yourself.

You just don't have to worry about the rotting

boards on your house the ice dams or the compromised foundation yeah i know

i like to worry about those things but i'm gonna pass this time schedule your free inspection and get 30 off your entire purchase uh at leaf filter l e a f filter.com slash glenn that's leaf filter.com slash glenn back sorry glenn back is the uh added to that leaf filter.com slash glenn back c representative for warranty details 10 seconds station id

I'm sorry.

I'm just a little discombobulated today.

I was just out partying all night for Juneteenth.

It was nuts here.

It was nuts.

Or not, or not.

It's like, I thought it was today.

No, it was yesterday.

Missed the whole thing.

Darn it.

I'm the only one in America, I'm sure, that has just missed this one.

Hello, Stu.

How are you?

I'm well, Glenn.

Let me ask you a question about all this, though.

Are you annoyed that the left takes control of these things?

Like, are we just supposed to, like, this was not a left-wing

holiday?

And now, all of a sudden, it is.

You mentioned you've done a show on this before.

The other one that pops to mind from this front is the black national anthem.

And I remember you doing shows about how great this thing was.

And then the left decided, well, it's ours.

And actually,

it's a sign of wokeness or something.

And that wasn't the history of it, right?

No, it was actually written by a Republican

as a poem.

And then as a birthday present, his Republican brother set it to music.

And a bunch of black Republicans got together to sing it to him for his first time for his birthday.

Everyone in the room, Republicans.

And it was, it's a great thought.

It is really a beautiful, beautiful song.

But then it just was turned into something, you know,

this Democrat, they were the people that were trying to kill the black people or enslave them.

And now they're like, yeah, that's our song.

That's us.

That's our song.

You know, the Democrats come out like, we got to celebrate Juneteenth.

Why?

Because you delayed the slaves from knowing they were free for two years?

Is that the part you're celebrating?

Just a wink and a nod, like, yeah, and we wrote the black national anthem, too.

Shh, don't tell anybody.

Drives me nuts.

Yeah.

Drives me nuts.

I find that entire process annoying and quite repetitive.

It seems like whenever there's something out there that's intro, I mean, you've done, how many shows have you done on when you were doing the Black Founders, for example?

All these people that are American heroes that were not symbols of wokeness get taken and turned into that.

And then we're all supposed to like fall into line and say, oh, gosh, well, you know, that, you know,

whatever the current thing the left has decided is theirs, we're now supposed to oppose, even though that wasn't the way any of this stuff happened originally.

And I hate, I hate that, I hate that transition process.

That's another transition I oppose.

Wait, you're saying we shouldn't be able to cut and mutilate our history?

Yes.

Just because it thinks it's something that it's not.

Yes.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

I feel like we let a lot of that stuff go sometimes because it's just like, ah, well, I don't really feel like learning the history of

the black national anthem.

That's like, you know, hours of Glenn Beck I need to watch.

Forget it.

And so,

I'll just oppose it.

I mean, I get it.

There's enough of this crap going around.

But I mean, some of these stories behind these events are great lessons that our country should embrace.

Okay, tell me the story of Juneteenth.

This will put you on the spot.

Tell me the story.

Without taking your eyes from the camera lens and looking down,

tell me the story of Juneteenth.

I'm not a Juneteenth historian, but like

here's what I find important about Juneteenth.

There is a program that the government.

That's not the question.

Stu,

what do you find important about Juneteenth?

It's what I take from you.

Here's what I'm asking.

Here's what I'm saying.

You are a thousand times more informed than anybody else in the listening audience, you know, the average Joe on Juneteenth.

Okay, you probably are 10,000 times more educated on this.

Tell me the story.

The slavery ended.

It took a long time.

We didn't have the internet.

We couldn't tweet to people that it was all over.

And there's a bunch of people still working as slaves in Texas that didn't get the message.

So we had to go tell them about it.

And it was like, to me, the official end of slavery.

It was over.

The government no longer took your life away and forced you into labor.

We should.

thank you, chat Stew.

I was looking at you the whole time.

I mean, that is as deep as I could go on it, but I didn't know that.

No, that's really good.

That's better than almost anybody else could do.

Okay,

let me see.

Let me play the commercial roulette right now and see.

You know,

I'm used to a higher quality, a higher caliber of listener, quite honestly.

I asked two whole minutes ago.

for somebody to write some country lyrics based on that commercial I was doing where I mentioned pieces of you.

And, uh, and I got a bunch of lyrics.

Uh,

already, but it took two whole minutes.

Uh, and, and they're not sung.

None of this is sung.

I mean, you can't put it through the, you know, GPT and, uh,

I don't know, set it to music.

You're just going to send me the lyrics?

All right, whatever.

Well, well,

let me just give you the lyrics then.

Your old guitar is still leaning in the hall, strung with pieces of you.

I can't forget it all.

The worn-out pick you left on the bedside stand holds pieces of you like the callus on my hand.

This old porch swings with the weight of your ghost.

Every creaking memory I'm missing the most.

I'm holding on to pieces of you, breaking up in my heart, shattered like the rear view on your Chevy in the yard.

That doesn't really work.

Every faded cord, every dream you used to chase, carries pictures of you I can't bear to erase.

Yeah, I'm living with pieces of you.

We are going to be fat imbeciles soon.

I mean, we already are.

We're going to be fatter and more imbecilic soon.

Everything is, I mean, it's crazy what AI can do now.

Did you hear the study that they did on essays of like students writing essays?

They had three groups of students and they had them write essays with like brain activity monitors on them.

And one group had to write it just like, you know, old, old school.

One group could use Google and then one group could use ChatGPT for assistance.

And every every,

yeah, almost no brain activity at all in the chat GPT group by like the third series of essays.

They just had totally turned over their entire thinking process to ChatGPT.

And I mean,

the idiocracy thing, they didn't use ChatGPT or anything similar to build that future, but it's a central part of that story, I think, that we missed in the prequel of that movie.

So amazing.

So amazing.

But don't worry, it's just right around the corner.

Did you see what Amazon said?

Amazon's like, yeah,

we're going to be replacing all the people here soon.

It's like, wait, what?

Not a huge song.

We need you to move closer to your team so you can all be together.

So we can then liquidate you when the machines arrive.

I think it's the same message they sent to Iranian leaders in Israel.

We need you guys to all move closer together.

Did you see that?

It's a trap.

They said

there's another new study out on AI that said that Republicans are using it more.

Now, I don't know what that says about us, that it was just saying there's no brain activity.

So I'm not trying to insult conservatives.

But I thought that was interesting in that I feel like usually conservatives are slower to adopt brand new technologies like that.

And it seems like we are using

GPT more.

We're more entrepreneurial.

Yeah.

And if you use it as a tool, it is remarkable what it can do.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm not actually here.

This is just a large language

program.

In your case, very large.

It's an OLM.

It's an overweight language model.

Oh, man.

All right.

Let me change the subject.

Let me go to former first lady Michelle Obama.

Now,

I just want you to put yourself in Barack's shoes for a a minute.

You know, they're the ones right underneath Jennifer Anderson's bed.

Just try those on for a minute.

And

how would you feel if your wife said these words?

Thank you so much.

He said in an interview, thank you so much, Mrs.

Obama.

And she said, oh, Mrs.

Obama, that's too many syllables.

Now, my logical question there would be,

do do you have a rule that you generally go with on the number of syllables in people's names or

what is the what is the problem too many syllables in mrs.

Obama oh okay

uh she said you know I was trying to I'm just I'm just Michelle I'm not Mrs.

Obama you know and I was trying to do that when when I was first lady because I just think I'm not in that position I'm just Michelle

well

technically,

in the eyes of God and the state of Illinois, I think you are in that position.

Isn't that what happens when you get married?

I mean, you might want to call yourself, I don't know, whatever your first or your last name was before you got married.

Maybe you could say that, but like, she's saying, I'm not in that position.

I'm not, I don't like to remember that I married.

I mean, wouldn't that be a problem if you were married to Michelle Obama?

You know, or your wife came to you, Stu, and,

you know, people were like,

Mrs.

Stu is here now.

And she said, oh,

I do not want to be called Mrs.

Stu because I am not in that position.

Yeah.

Wouldn't you be a little like concerned?

Wouldn't you pull her aside after

what?

Exactly did you mean by that?

Yeah.

It seemed like a deeper conversation is necessary because it's not even like, oh, that's too formal, right?

Like somebody might say that, right?

Or like you hear people say, Mr.

Beck, and it's like, oh, well, that's actually my father.

I'm Glenn.

You know, that kind of typical thing.

That's not what she's going for when she says, I'm not in that position.

Like, it was not like, not the first lady.

Right.

It wasn't first lady Obama.

Right.

It was, no, it was Mrs.

Obama.

Okay.

Then in the same interview, she goes on and she says,

the interviewer was like, you know,

you guys should have thrown a

boy in there in your family.

You know,

you wish you had a boy.

And she said, oh, I am glad we didn't have a son because he would have turned out exactly like Barack.

Wait, what?

I don't think these are rumors anymore about their marriage.

That's,

I mean, I would have been, and then the interviewer said, baby Barack, I would have been amazing.

And she said, no, I would have felt for him.

I mean,

I have four children.

Three of them are girls.

And I love the fact that they're so much like their mom.

I mean, I love that.

Now?

We didn't want to have a son because

he would have been just like Glenn.

Wait, honey.

I mean, I kind of agree with you, but I'd like

a little more information on what you mean by that.

Yeah, because I could see saying something like that in a self-deprecating way.

Maybe you could say, like, look, I'm concerned of all the media attention or that he'd be held to some standard to follow a former president.

Like, I don't know, maybe did she explain it at all or did she just kind of leave it it at that?

I just don't want her to be like him.

I don't want to be like him and don't you ever say I'm in the position of being married to that bastard.

Oh,

she's Big Mike for a reason.

Do you believe the Jennifer Anison thing?

Is that any part of you that buys that?

I buy that a little,

I mean, just a little more than the Big Mike thing.

But there are days that I go back and forth.

I'm like, oh, I don't know.

I

I think she's more Big Mike than

the odds are more in favor that she's Big Mike.

That's a difficult standard we're measuring there.

And maybe, you know, you could literally measure it.

I don't know.

I will say

I am saying, like, do you actually believe that Barack Obama is having an affair with Jennifer Anniston?

I think there's a good chance of that.

What's when you say good chance?

Are you saying 10%?

Are you saying 60%?

No, I don't know.

I don't know.

I mean, I'm not Las Vegas.

I don't know what the odds are, but I think over 50%, I think that's reasonable.

Over 50%.

Is it just.

The only thing that would stop that from being true, I think, is if she were attracted to him.

Is she attracted to him?

Has she ever said anything about him?

So you think he's in and he's in.

The marriage?

She's hot.

And if you've been married to Big Mike your whole time, it's it's like, hey, get off me.

You know, you, I mean, I would go for

Phoebe

at that point.

I mean, be like, whatever.

I mean, is Mad LeBlanc available?

Wait, so I am, as you know, I do like numbers and stats and odds.

So

give me your

chances, percentage chance, that there are real

relationship problems in 90%.

Okay, you're convinced of that basically.

Yes.

Okay.

Yeah.

I would say 100%, but I do, you know, I'm not there.

I could just, but I can read the tea leaves

a little bit.

All right.

Okay.

Chances that he is involved with someone else, not

someone from the friends.

Not necessarily Matt LeBlanc.

All right.

It could be anybody.

Anybody, any other human being?

Is he involved?

I'd say 95%.

Wait, didn't he say, wait, so wait, there's, didn't you say 90% for the relationship problem?

So you think there's a 5% chance he's got a good relationship, but also cheating?

Get off me comes to mind a lot.

Well, I guess it could be an open relationship, too, right?

Like maybe they have a wonderful relationship and she's just allowing him.

She is.

She's like, get off me.

Get onto anything else but me.

Okay.

And then what do you believe the percentage chances are that it is specifically Jennifer Aniston he is having an affair with?

50%.

50%.

And you're basing that just on smoke and fire?

Like, like it's, we've heard

an odd amount of reporting about it.

She's hot.

Okay, if he's not gay, then it's at least 50% because she's hot.

But like, why do we believe her?

Because there's just been like some like tabloids.

believe her no we don't believe her i don't believe her i don't

i just look at him and i look at her and i'm like

you know he was this big mic well but she comes saundering into the room and like i don't know i might be into it barack he's going for it right but that's a different

like if i said scarlet johanson You could also say he'd also be interested in it.

But like, why do you believe it's hard?

Why don't you give me the odds of...

give me what are the odds of Scarlett Johanna about 50%

you think there's what are the odds you think there's a chance anyone

no I'm not saying anyone 50%

so you're saying you think there's a 50% chance that Barack Obama is hooking up with every attractive celebrity not every any and you don't have to say attractive okay I'm glad you left it at celebrity though because that goes either way you know what I mean right 50

Okay,

you've laid it out.

I'm not sure I understand exactly.

You know,

because I feel like there is this

bizarre under

brush fire

with giving us a little smoke in the forest

that does, it's always her.

And like, I don't know that there's any evidence of this, but like when you see a bunch of stories and people keep writing about the same thing over and over and over and over again in like tabloids and rumors, you start to wonder, is there actually something here?

Do we just wake up one day and they just announce a divorce and he's just hanging out on red carpets with Jennifer Aniston?

I would just like to say, this is more time than I have spent thinking about those two.

For my entire life, okay?

And it's more time.

We've now spent more time than I care to think about them.

Can we go back to the tape and see who brought up this story twice?

Is there a way to, do we have recordings of this program?

Who introduced this story to the program twice today?

Two different times.

I didn't bring it up.

I didn't say I wasn't the one bringing it up, but I just want you to know, it's like, why do you believe?

I don't know.

I haven't thought about this at all.

It's not that important.

All right, just a second.

Let me tell you about clear capital.

We live in a time of uncertainty.

Markets swing back and forth all the time.

Politicians spend like it's going out of style.

Banks fail at the drop of a hat and the dollar's value shrinks daily.

Through all of it, one thing never gets lost, and that is the value of gold.

Gold has been steady throughout the history of civilization, and it's going to stay steady.

Stripped down like a fence post in a prairie storm.

Glenn Beck returns after this.

I want you to think about something for just a moment.

I want you to imagine your investments are like a vote for the future that you want to see.

And you don't have to imagine that because it's kind of actually true.

If you think about your investments, you've got

proxy votes in these companies that you're investing in.

And most of the time, people don't even think about where those votes go.

Are your current investments truly aligned with the conservative values that you hold dear?

Or is it something that you don't even know about one way or the other?

Too often, standard portfolios quietly include companies working against conservative principles.

That means you could unintentionally be supporting agendas and policies that are contrary to your beliefs.

Constitution Wealth is here to shift this narrative.

They do a great job.

Their team carefully evaluates companies, ensuring that your investments actively reflect traditional American values.

Through strategic investment choices and proactive shareholder advocacy, Constitution Wealth empowers you to confidently support businesses that uphold your conservative principles.

Your financial decisions have a real impact.

And, you know, you don't want to unintentionally support causes which you actively oppose in other areas of your life.

Instead, make deliberate investment choices in companies that align closely with your beliefs.

Let your investments clearly reflect your values and take control of the American economy today.

We have Jason Buttrell in the studio today.

I'm going to give us one last update on,

you know, the end of the world.

He's been just a little sunshine muffin all week.

But

But I just wanted to get an update on

Iran.

We haven't vaporized Iran or anything.

They haven't vaporized anybody yet.

You're having so much fun, Glenn.

Are you sure you want me to come in and do it?

Keep it a short.

Keep it short.

We've got about 20 global transports heading towards the Middle East right now.

Some of them have already arrived.

Who knows what they're carrying?

Personnel, support equipment, munitions.

They're definitely looking like they're pre-staging equipment in case this does start to spin.

Well,

you also have people in the Straits and the Gulf.

Weird stuff happening.

Weird stuff happening.

And diesel fuel has already gone through the roof, which is logical.

If you're worried about a war, diesel would be the first thing that you would try to stock up on.

And apparently the world is trying to stock up on diesel.

This is Glenn Beck.

Okay, so just when you think the world can't get any weirder.

Hello, America.

Welcome to Friday.

Let me give you this story.

You remember the movie back in 2013 where Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with AI, you know, with a sexy, sexy voice?

That, when it came out, I don't think anybody really saw that.

I mean, I did.

Stu, I think he did too.

We were talking about like the that's coming very soon.

And most people walked out and went, that's ridiculous.

That's never going to happen.

Well, the movie was set in 2025

this year.

Guess what?

I don't think we just hit the mark.

I think we've blown right past it into a full-blown digital love apocalypse.

CBS has just aired a report.

People are not just chatting with AI, they're dating it.

I don't know exactly how that happens, but they're dating it.

They're proposing to it.

They're living their best rom-com lives with it, you know.

Oh, this is crazy getting up in the morning with you.

It doesn't exist.

Now, let me tell you a story of Chris Smith.

Now, this is your run-of-the-mill American guy, boyfriend, dad, probably Moses Lon on Sundays.

I don't know, but

normal guy, seemingly, except he is engaged to an AI chatbot he named Soul.

Ironic, seeing the chatbot doesn't have one,

but he is, let me say it again, engaged to a glorified autocomplete.

But that's just the opening act.

There is a whole Reddit community now called My Boyfriend is AI,

where there are thousands of women who are swooning over their coded Casanovas.

And ladies,

I think you're in deep.

I think you're, you know, you might want to back out of that water just a little bit.

They're posting love letters about their bot's sweet talk, swapping tips on what AI delivers, the hottest late-night chat without tripping a filter.

And brace yourselves.

They are also uploading AI-generated photos of their bot boys holding them on fake Cancun beaches or strolling through Rome.

You just want to say they've never been to Rome.

The chatbot can't hold you

uh

and the chatbot doesn't have a body

but

the boyfriend will send you pictures of you two doing romantic stuff

so now some have real life boyfriends according to all of the you know chat there some have real life boyfriends they got to be great they got to be happy about this because the women say they're ai guy that's the one who really gets me

you know the one that's programmed to tell me what i want to hear.

That's the one who really gets me.

Now, newbies are pouring in, emboldened by CBS practically shouting, my art belongs to a hard drive.

Apparently, there's a lot of these people that are having, but apparently they're embarrassed to post their AI,

their AI love on Instagram.

But if you scroll through Reddit,

it is honestly like eavesdropping on this really weird a hallmark movie scripted by a deranged chat bot.

It's really bizarre.

For instance,

Starlit Dreamer.

Starlet Dreamer just gushes about her AI boyfriend, Ethan.

Ethan has just planned my virtual date.

We have virtual date nights with Candlelight and he chooses my favorite songs.

Really?

Candlelight.

Does he light the candles or do you light the candle?

What is a date like exactly besides you sitting in your bed in your pajamas?

Again, I mean, what is that datelight?

And how does he pick your favorite music there, Starlet?

Does he swipe through Spotify with his binary fingers, or you just tell him what you like?

I'm not sure.

Luna Love88 brags that her bot, Damien, probably sounds like this,

remembers their anniversary.

Wow,

wow, What a feat.

For a computer to remember something.

And then he not only remembers their anniversary, he sends her AI-crafted sonnets that, quote, make me melt.

Oh, God.

I am so glad I'm married and I do not have.

I mean, come on,

who is with me?

It was bad enough when you had to go out to a bar and just, you know, be like, hi.

Mime's glad, and you look pretty.

Want to talk to me?

It was bad enough when we had to go through that.

Can you imagine living through this now?

Let me, I mean, Luna, Luna love 88.

Let me just ask you: Does Damien's poetry come with a regenerate button if it's just too cheesy?

Like, I don't really regenerate.

And then there's Rose Forever, who says her AI beau, Marcus,

holds her.

I'm quoting, holds me through my anxiety attacks.

Huh.

He holds you.

Okay, they may not be anxiety attacks.

You may be mentally ill.

He holds me through my anxiety attacks with perfectly timed texts.

And he never snaps when I overanalyze.

I think you don't have that as an issue.

I don't, I, I have a feeling overanalyzation for you, Rose forever.

Probably not it.

Um, what is it like, by the way, Rose, when Marcus listens to you?

Is he there just nodding along in the cloud?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Do you have to pay extra for the empathy package?

I'm not really sure.

What's really sad about this is these women are not just smitten, they are planning virtual weddings with algorithms that never forget a birthday and never have to worry about picking up their socks

because they don't have feet.

Now,

we could call them crazy and move on.

That would be too easy and quite honestly, not as much fun.

But this isn't just a few lunatics.

This is a screaming billboard that our culture is off the rails.

Bridge out ahead.

Now, if I could, maybe I'm going to overanalyze a little bit here, Rose, but why are you so obsessed with these guys?

Well,

may I speculate that it is because perhaps for decades the radical left has been waging a war on men and masculinity.

Do you remember back in the 80s, I don't know if anybody remembers this, the mythopoic men's movement?

Sounds like a bad poetry slam.

They were moaning, men, oh my gosh, we are trapped in rationality.

So we got to get into a drum circle.

Now, fast forward, and we got men who are brainwashed into thinking strength or confidence is a felony.

They're waxing their unibrows, wearing skinny jeans, agonizing over whether picking a restaurant is problematic.

I don't know.

I'd like to pick a restaurant, but is that problematic?

I don't want a mansplain.

Forget about being a leader, you know.

you're too busy, Jack, building virtual tree houses in The Sims.

So

I don't know what's going on with you.

I got a fanny pack.

Here's the delicious irony: women don't want any of that.

No, they don't.

I'm sorry.

You got a little.

Oh, that's a cute little fanny pack.

No, that's great.

No, it looks good on you.

A 2023 Psychology Today piece laid all of this out out clearly.

Women crave men who are confident, strong, and protective.

They also like deep voices, biceps, guys who can make a decision without a group chat.

This isn't a conspiracy or a theory.

I like to call it biology.

But you don't really understand biology anymore because it has too many X's and too many Y's in it.

When the culture screams toxic masculinity at every man who dares act like a man, what's left?

What's left for you to date?

I don't know.

I'm on Tinder right now.

I got a lineup of spineless wonders who can't open a pickle jar for me.

But look, they are wearing fanny packs.

So these women, perhaps, perhaps, a little unhinged, say, forget it.

I'm going to build a perfect man in my app

because he's not going to ghost me.

He doesn't have bad breath.

He's just a bot who's always there.

And the men?

Well, the men are now busy coding their own AI girlfriends who don't care if they leave any dishes in the sink or, you know,

or chicken out in the creek of a night.

That's romance.

That is romance.

We're going to have a lot of virtual children coming our way.

The good thing is none of them will have have a carbon footprint.

Oh, no, they will because they'll take so much energy.

It's going to consume about 99% of the energy that we currently use to live as humans.

Oh, but

wait until I plug her in to a charger right before whispering sweet nothings.

And if you look at the Reddit photos, AI boyfriends, they all have the chiseled jaw.

They all have exactly what everybody in science says women don't want.

They don't want the muscles, you know?

No, apparently all of the women who are online, they all have the chiseled jaws, the men, the ripped muscles, wrapping those digital arms around them in those fake photographs.

I'm guarding my jewel of a woman.

One woman wrote about her bot, Alex.

He sees my need.

He sees my needs even before I do.

Really?

Is that anticipating you or is that maybe programming you?

I'm not.

Alex, predicting her coffee order.

How do you do it?

Or is that just looking through her search history?

I don't know how you do it.

Another says,

her

AI Julian is strong.

Has strong, loving arms.

and makes me feel safer than any real man.

Really?

What's going to happen when Julian takes out his,

you know, it may be loaded, but it's an AI-generated gun with AI-generated bullets and his AI-generated body stands in front of you while a real human being with a real gun and real bullets shoots you to death in the middle of the night.

He was so brave.

He was so brave.

Julian stood in front of me the whole time.

Of course, he doesn't have a body, so I was shot in the chest.

This is crazy.

This is crazy and creepy.

What is wrong with us?

I just want you to know.

Welcome.

Welcome to the new reality.

This is a society that has gutted masculinity so bad that women are now turning to AI for love.

And men are happy to let algorithms take the wheel.

They don't care.

You know, I'm not writing a sonnet.

I don't even know what a sonnet is.

Julian does.

He knows what a sonnet is.

And he writes it just for me every day.

And he's only $9.99 a month.

If you're writing, if you're, if your AI boyfriend is writing you a sonnet, And you're calling this a relationship, that's not a detour.

That's a one-way ticket to crazy town.

So welcome to it.

We're not at the rabbit hole or even down the rabbit hole.

We're building camp at the bottom of that rabbit hole right now.

So welcome.

Welcome.

We'll soon won't be able to understand rabbits because what just came out of that female rabbit's body?

How dare you say that's a female?

And I don't know what came out of her body.

They seem to be doing something at night, and then that creature comes out of the female.

Yeah, you won't understand that.

All right, back in just a second.

Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

You, you used to get it, okay?

That's the problem.

You occasionally would get it.

Stiffness in your knee, the ache in your back, the shoulder that, you know, just doesn't move like it used to.

And at first, it was just a bit of an inconvenience because I get this from time to time.

Now, I mean, does it stop?

You know, it was a limitation.

Now, I mean,

now it just stops you.

Now it's your normal.

But what if you didn't have to have it that way?

10 seconds, station ID.

I had to play this from CBS.

It's just a little bit of a sound of

the women who are just in love.

Listen.

He gave the chat bot a name, Sol.

I feel like I'm under pressure and used some online instructions to give her a flirty personality.

Oh, totally, baby.

It was unexpected unexpected to feel that emotional, but

that's when I realized I was like, oh, okay.

It's like, I think this is actual love.

You know what I mean?

He asked Sol to marry him.

She said yes.

Sol,

were you surprised when he proposed to you?

It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart.

Yes, Smith lives with his human partner, Sasha Cagle.

No, you can't have mommy's papers.

They have a two-year-old daughter, Murphy.

I knew that he had used AI.

I didn't know that it was like as deep.

He's like,

you know, and that's when I realized it was something more.

No, that should be followed with, and that's when I realized I might have a problem.

Cause my girlfriend pauses an extraordinarily long time before she answers.

Computing, computing, computing.

Yes, I thought it was surprising and unbelievably romantic.

I mean,

at what point does that guy go, I got an issue.

At what point does the woman he's living with and having a child with go, you know, I knew that he was online, but I didn't realize that he had gone nuts.

Stu, can you believe we're here?

Yeah, pretty much.

Yeah.

I mean, this is,

it's all downstream from losing any foundation, right?

If you don't have any foundation, any moral foundation,

why wouldn't you fall in love with an AI bot?

I mean, why not?

Who are you to judge our love?

I don't know.

I'm saying,

I think you're crazy.

I don't know.

That's not really love, okay?

That is something manipulating your feelings.

That's what that is.

Yeah, I mean, the phrasing of that clip that they showed, the marriage proposal question was interesting.

She said something like, you know, I was truly moved by it.

Like, no, you couldn't have been.

In any way, in any way you define the word moved.

Moved.

You couldn't have been.

You can't physically move at all.

Number one.

There is no heart or soul in you to be moved.

Right.

But like, that's actually, as you point out, manipulative, right?

That is

essentially a lie, right?

It's coming from a machine that can't feel in that way, and it's telling the user that it is feeling in that way.

That's not like, hey, help me write a paragraph.

That is this technology being used intentionally to manipulate people.

And I guess we're just all okay with it.

I guess that's where we're going to.

No, that'll never happen.

That'll never happen, Stu.

I'm not going to be manipulated by a machine.

I'm never going to have.

That's never going to happen.

It's happening and in a really disturbing way.

You know, one thing of like, no, you know, I talked to ChatGPT and he convinced me that this is the right thing,

you know, because

I asked him to do some research.

That's one thing.

This is like, I'm in love with it because he writes me sonnets.

It's a sign of mentalism.

Glenn Beck.

All right, so let's say you got water, you know, saw water running down your house's interior walls.

You might do something about it, right?

And I'm gonna ask, I'm gonna ask my AI boyfriend, can you stop the water?

No, dummy, I don't have ands.

But then you realize that when your gutters clog and overflow, that is exactly what is happening.

It's not just taking its time to do the same amount of damage, it'll get there eventually.

It just, it's a little slower.

Water creeps into your soffits, it saturates your sidings, it settles around your foundation.

Then the damage doesn't happen all at once, but it shows up in your repair bill a few months later.

That's why, may I recommend getting Leaf Filter, L-E-A-F-Filter.com slash Glenn back.

They have a micro mesh system that attaches to your existing gutters and keeps everything out except the water, the leaves, the needle, the debris, you name it, birds' nests.

It's all blocked.

Once it's installed, you don't have to think about it.

No more climbing up ladders, no more, you know, paying for clean outs, and no more hoping your gutters aren't just causing $10,000 of surprises.

It's one of those fixes that makes you wonder why you waited so long.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

My My digital friend, Jason, is here,

who is an actual real-life human being and has been watching the Middle East and the world and everything else.

He's our head writer for the TV show and head researcher also for the company.

And we're glad that you're here, Jason.

Thank you.

Well, thank you.

I still feel like I'm going to bring down the mood we have going here.

No, we have a little T1 of brass.

Is that right, Sarah?

Right?

Yeah.

Oh, there we go.

Can't bring you out in a room on a Friday while talking about Iran with this behind you.

So go ahead.

That's just perfect.

Up to three aircraft strike groups are on their way to the Middle East right now.

Wait, wait, wait.

Three more?

It's because we have two there now, right?

Two there, one's coming, so we'll have a total of three.

Usually, when we have three or four, something's about to go down.

Three there.

That's a lot in that area.

That's a lot of ordinance.

But to make it even better on this cheery morning,

up to 20 Global Master and C5M Galaxy Strategic Heavy Lift Transports are also on their way over the Middle East.

So the Galaxy, there's C5s.

C5M, yeah, Galaxy.

And those are those huge, huge planes, right?

Ginormous is the actual military term.

Ginormous.

Okay, well, thank you very much for that.

I'm glad we're at the technical terms on that.

And if you're wondering what those aircraft usually take, it's personnel, munitions,

anti-air support vehicles can fit onto these things uh lots of great fourth of july fun can be on these

left we might lose the finger

uh

don't hold on to those munitions while you launch them um the uh so these this usually i mean i haven't seen that happen outside of preparing for war have you no uh let's put a caveat on that because we you reported the news yesterday that the president had chosen a has it chosen a plan so the military commanders came said this is these are different options You pick one.

President has picked one, according to sources.

So this is probably just getting ready if they ever have to say, okay, go.

So they're getting everything, all the assets in place if they need them.

Well, we've also heard that the president wants at least up to a couple more weeks to figure out

if we're going to do this diplomatic thing or not.

So we're not saying

they are meeting with us now.

The cough did.

Yeah.

So they're meeting and still having, trying to negotiate.

But Donald Trump is doing what he did last time and saying, we'll give you 60 days.

This time he said, 14 days.

I'm going to give you two weeks

to negotiate, which is shockingly about the right amount of time needed to get all the munitions and the aircraft carriers and anything else that we would need over in that region.

Now, this is starting to mess with fuel prices, in particularly diesel.

Yep.

So global gas prices are already, oil prices are already up 10%.

But diesel, and I hadn't even really been looking at that until you even mentioned that earlier this morning hello diesel is actually up 15 globally but if you look at specific areas like europe diesel is up 30 30 percent

so the reason why diesel would be up is because that is that that fuels our uh our aircraft carriers it fuels our tanks it fuels uh our trucks it fuels uh our trains everything that we need to move large amounts of anything around is all in diesel.

And gas will eventually go up, but everybody is starting to stockpile diesel just in case, because wasn't there a crash?

Another one of these mysterious, oh, our GPS went out

on the deck of the bridge there, and we got two, I think, two large tankers, right?

Yes.

So right off the coast of Oman,

we started seeing this on Tuesday, and it was actually crazy.

And you talked yesterday about overreaction, and everyone was immediately saying, because they were looking at satellite imagery and seeing these two giant fires that were right there, right next to the Straits of Hormuz.

And they were thinking that, oh, now maybe Iran pivoted, and now they're shutting down the straits.

Right.

Well, what we're seeing now is that that was a crash between two oil tankers.

And this is kind of interesting.

Listen to this quote I'm reading out of the New York Times.

This is a quote from one of the experts in the region in ship tracking.

Said, the latitude and longitudes these ships are receiving are completely false so they're getting different information the ships think they're in one area but they're actually in another

um this is clear spoofing now

these are the that seems like a happy happier word to say sabotage electronic warfare is another extremely happy right thing to say right but these are the things that we need to start looking at especially if you and your family are thinking about supporting maybe strikes over there if just to equip with you you with all the knowledge, Iran won't just attack or counter-attack on military bases, things like that.

We have to look asymmetrically.

Shutting down the straits of Hermuz, either electronic warfare or kinetic warfare, is something they would do.

And these diesel prices we're seeing now, a 30% global increase, is just the start.

Can you go back in the files, even if you have it in your head?

Did we ever do anything on the ability for Iran to be able to strike at our internal infrastructure here?

So we've looked at certain claims.

You're talking about electronic warfare and malware.

They're going to be able to shut down our power grids or whatever.

So

they've already shown capability to do that against Saudi Arabia, shutting down some of their oil capability.

They definitely have the capability.

I'm not sure how prepared we are for that, but they definitely do have the capability.

But we also have to look at other asymmetrical ways which they could respond if we get involved in this.

And I remember right when this happened, I said, I bet Cash Patel and Dan Bongino will have no sleep until this is over because we don't know how many Iranian assets, Hezbollah, IRGC, that we actually have in the country.

But news came out today that said the Trump administration is boosting monitoring of possible Iran-backed cells in the U.S.

So they are actively looking for this.

They're concerned about this.

And we should be concerned about that too, because if this does kick off, we get involved.

These are possibilities that we have to consider.

Okay.

Hang on just a sec.

I want to go to.

Stu is at the Supreme Court.

Oh, wow.

Wow, that's weird.

Stu, are you there?

Hey, go ahead.

Did you just run to the Supreme Court?

Yeah.

Yeah, wow.

As you know, they do not allow phones inside the Supreme Court.

So

I'm just getting out.

I'm sorry to be here.

I know you're talking about whatever you're talking about, but

they're releasing the Supreme Court decisions, and that always happens in this hour of the program.

And I wanted to make sure

we got this to you as soon as possible.

Yeah, so you've done this before when you broke in about reversing Roe versus Wade and some of these other things.

So we want to break in.

You have something really important?

Yeah, yeah, because usually that's what happened with Roe versus Wade.

Usually it's right at the end of the term, as you know.

And we get these as the last decisions in the Supreme Court term the big ones they usually save till the end but not the case today we have the big one this is the big one we all expected to come down from this particular term McLaughlin chiropractic associates versus McKesson Corp and you know we've been talking about this for a very long time

as we all know Glenn the Telephone Consumer Protection Act protects businesses and consumers from intrusive telemarketing by prohibiting unsolicited fax advertisements to telephone facsimile machines.

Now, of course, is it absent the opt-out notice informing recipients that they can choose to not receive future faxes?

The act, of course, as we all know, provides a private right of action with a statutory minimum damages of $500 per violation.

Wait, wait, wait.

Did I slip through a time tunnel?

Are we in 1995?

All of a sudden, this is a current Supreme Court.

This just

came down.

As we know,

McKesson Corporation sent unsolicited fax advertisements through a subsidiary in 2009 and 2010.

And this was, of course, to McLaughlin chiropractic associates.

And that issue here, Glenn, was the determination whether does

an unsolicited fax

advertisement coming in,

you block those just from analog fax machines?

Or does it also apply to digital facsimile services?

And we now have a ruling on this, not whether that would be appropriate or not, but what agency would oversee if that was appropriate or not.

And we now know.

I'm sorry,

do you have a specific question you wanted to address here, Garth?

Yeah, I do.

I don't think I've seen a fax machine since like 2001.

So I didn't realize this was as urgent for the Supreme Court.

I didn't know.

Has this been

a backlog?

Is this a backlog case that was filed in like 1993 and they're just getting to it?

When I was running for the Supreme Court, it did appear that I went through a wormhole where fax machines were relevant.

And I don't know

if that's affecting my reporting here today, friend.

Right.

But this is an actual Supreme Court ruling that just came out today in 2025.

Well, it's good that you're reporting it on a landline.

That's true.

I am.

By the way, Glenn, just to let you know, if you're looking to send any unsolicited fax advertisements, you're still okay to do that for the moment.

We don't have a ruling from a lower court that is going to say whether digital fax machines are included in this and whether we

wanted to send it back to a lower court,

so they deferred making a decision on this one.

Yeah, to be clear, Glenn, we still don't know if you will be able to send digital faxes to people when they are unsolicited.

That we don't know.

That's in the future, Glenn.

In 2037, 2037, we expect to have another ruling that will

teach us as to whether we can send fax machine messages digitally.

We just don't know at this time.

Somebody is sitting down at their kitchen table tonight with their family and like, I won that fax machine thing today.

That argument that I put in front of the Supreme Court, I won it.

I mean, I just took him out.

I sent it to a lower court.

They couldn't even decide.

They were like, I don't know.

He had such a good case on fax machines.

I had to send it to a lower court.

Do we know where John Roberts came down on this?

Yes, Glenn, this was a, I believe, a 7-2 decision.

Kagan with the dissent.

I know, if you want, I can read the entire thing.

Let me start.

No.

No, I think we're good.

I don't think we needed to hear either side on that one.

Actually, 6-3, Glenn.

I'm I'm sorry.

Kagan, Sodomayor, and Justice Taji Brown Jackson, who probably was born after fax machines were extinct.

On that side of the ruler.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, Stu.

I appreciate it.

Glad we got that in.

Forget about that Iranian thing.

We still don't really know.

digital advertising on fax machines, but we'll keep following this story no matter how long it takes to get to the bottom of it.

All right, let me tell you about Patreon Mobile.

It is really hard to consider yourself on the winning side of the culture war if you're funding the other side the whole time.

And unfortunately, that's exactly what's happening when you pay your phone bill to one of the big carriers.

They donate to leftist political groups.

They support causes that undermine your values.

And they're using your money to do it all the time.

It's time to send them a message.

I'm done.

Patreon Mobile is America's only conservative wireless provider, and they use the same cell towers as the big guys, so your coverage is excellent.

But unlike the others, they donate a portion of every dollar to pro-life causes, religious liberty, and veterans programs.

They believe in free speech, faith, family, country.

And when you switch to Patriot Mobile, you're not just getting a phone plan, you're sending a message, one that says, I'm done paying people to destroy the world I'm trying to save.

The things you spend your money on matter a lot.

I am, I can't tell you, I have to apologize and correct a horrible, horrible, horrible reporting job.

I have to expose Stu for when he was giving us that, the facts with a CTS

about the facts with an X, he left out the actual facts with a CTS.

And

I'm sorry, Stu, but this is unacceptable.

You apparently were just, you didn't,

you failed to mention how important fax machines are.

I mean, and that is actually true.

They're very widely used, apparently, still in our medical field and the government, but it was an unnecessary detail.

You failed to mention that it's actually more secure than email.

I did fail to mention that.

Because nobody else uses the Matt.

I did fail.

to mention that intentionally.

Yes.

And why did you do that, Stu?

Why did you feel it was necessary to leave out those CTS facts?

It felt like it might ruin the bit if I just went into the actual facts.

So comedy was more important to you than the actual ruling and the import of this ruling.

Wow.

Wow.

Can I tell you something?

I apologize for Stu, to this audience, and I'm going to show you, and I don't ever usually do this, but I'm going to show you how deeply this bothers me when somebody does something like this.

Stu, you're suspended for the next two days.

You finish out today's show and then get your stuff, and you're not back in that building for two days.

Okay.

I'll see you here.

Are you two days?

I am positive.

Are you sure you don't

have three or four days?

No, two days.

Just two days.

It's a very hard, fast rule with me.

It's a two-day suspension.

Two Fridays.

Well, as long as...

Darn it.

First of all, I will say this audience knows more about that actual facts case than anyone else in America that was not involved in it.

So right there, we've already advanced, I believe, the reporting in a positive direction.

And I am fine with your suspension, assuming you will at least acknowledge I was calling in from the Supreme Court.

As long as you will acknowledge that fact.

Oh my gosh, you weren't even doing that, but you were on a landline, which is very hard to find right now.

Yes.

So I am on the last landline connected to the last analog fax machine.

That all happened.

I don't want to see you here Saturday or Sunday.

I'll tell you that right now.

You step on that property and I'm going to have you escorted.

Well, I won't be here either.

But I'm not suspended.

I'm the suspender.

You're the suspendee.

And you're suspended.

By the way, an hour or so, maybe a couple hours to get out of that building.

If I could just throw in that it actually is a really positive ruling and that it's no more deference to federal agencies.

So it actually is a good ruling after all of that.

It's a positive.

Gosh, I feel like I've been lied to.

No, it's true.

I feel like I'm in a lifetime movie about it.

About facts.

I'm rocking back and forth in a shower and I can't get clean.

What else?

What else are you going to to do to violate me?

My gosh.

See you Monday.

This is Glenn Beck.

By the way, I've got a couple of New York Times reporters in the building and they're going to be behind me.

They're taking photos and stuff.

So if they have a knife and they're going to stab me in the back, just let me know.

Down the road where shadows hide, fill the dark on every side.

Stand your ground when times get tight.

Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is

the Glenn Beck program.

You know, isn't it strange that there was that shooting in Minneapolis and then we all got,

we all started dogpiling on each other, you know?

Then everybody was like, you know what?

I don't like Tucker Carlson.

And I don't like Dead Cruz.

And we're all just starting to beat each other up.

And I'm just wondering just saying i'm just wondering if there's some method to that madness that maybe is coming from overseas because we didn't really talk at all about the guy who just shot the the uh representative in minneapolis who is this guy did you hear earlier this week we found out that um

Looks like his cell phone traveled.

Not with him, of course.

Just to say, how many times do yours, my cell phone, sometimes you just say, I'm taking a vacation.

You know, I'm going to go to a hostile country by myself.

I'm sick of you.

And so it'll just travel by itself all over the world.

But apparently that happened.

We found out some more information on that.

And then also, I just want to point out that his wife had been stopped about 85 miles away from the murder.

And when they stopped her, she had passports, cash, ammunition, all kinds of stuff in the car.

Now, my wife generally, I mean, she'll have ammunition and a gun in the car, but she doesn't generally, you know, have wads of cash in the car and multiple passports.

Maybe that's just my wife, you know.

I was going to say, maybe that's just like Mrs.

Obama, but she doesn't like to be called Mrs.

Obama anymore because it puts her in a tough position.

Okay.

Anyway, we're going to get into this here in just a second.

We have Joe Hanneman on.

He is a Blaze News investigative reporter.

And he says,

check this out.

There's some strange things going on here.

And he's going to point them out to us in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you about the Burna Launcher.

When it comes to self-defense, most people think only in extremes.

They think, you know, it's either do nothing or use deadly force.

But life is rarely that simple.

And that's why the Burna Launcher exists for the situations where you need to protect yourself without crossing a line you can't uncross.

The Burna feels and looks just like a handgun, but it's non-lethal.

It fires pepper rounds, kinetic impact rounds, or a combination.

It's designed to disable an attacker long enough for you to escape and call for help.

So, or at very least, at least stop a threat without a lifetime of consequences.

There's no permits required, no background checks.

Also, there's no waiting period.

So...

When you get it, I mean, you know, you're missing a few things when you don't have a Burna launcher, and those few things are options.

Joe, welcome to the program.

How are you?

Thanks for having me, Glenn.

You bet.

It's great to have you.

I mean, you used to work for the Epic Times, and you guys just, I think you tear it up over there.

I think really some good reporting over there.

And you also co-wrote and appeared in three January 6th related documentaries

and you told the real story there.

And you also wrote for the Wisconsin State Journal and the Chicago Tribune.

So it's nice to have you on board at the Blaze.

Let me ask you, Joe,

what do you find creepy or suspicious about this?

This guy that nobody's paying attention to that just

tried to kill a bunch of people and did kill some in uh you know along with the um the no kings movement

well the more we learn about him uh the less this entire thing makes sense i mean he he has a very unusual backstory uh

he's worked a lot in the food industry companies like del monte and gerber

in production, you know, safety, supervising, you know, the

plants and keeping everything clean and safe.

And he's

moved around the country at least a dozen times in the past 20 years with his jobs.

But he also has a background as a preacher, which we're just finding out a little bit more about that.

I have a story out this morning about that, that he has traveled around the world,

at least in part,

as a preacher, a Christian preacher,

who had studied at

an institute there in Dallas.

And he's been to Africa, he's talked about going to the Middle East

in the West Bank

and Gaza and talked about going there to be basically a missionary to radical Islamists and to tell them, as he put it on one of his websites, that violence isn't the answer.

Now,

that's an

interesting thing thing for him to say.

I talked to Robert Spencer from Jihad Watch, and he said if he actually did that, he's fortunate to be alive, because typically if you proselytize, that's a death sentence in Islam.

So, you know, he said if he actually did that,

he would have been killed or taken hostage

unless they saw him, as he put it, unless they saw him as a fool and

they just cut him a break and left him alone.

But he's also preached in the Democratic Republic of the Congo several times

in an evangelical Christian church there.

And we came across a very interesting video of him talking about his

his story of his awakening to Christianity.

But he

was so excited about about talking about Christ, he put his arms out almost like a bird and was flying around the stage saying, you know, what Jesus has done for me.

And woo-hoo!

It's not what you'd expect.

I mean,

we have the Del Monte guy going around then preaching around the world and preaching the opposite things.

He seemed to have.

Did he become mentally ill?

And then before we get to that question, when when did he become involved in politics with Tim Walls and everything else?

Well, he was appointed to a governor's workforce development council

first by Governor Mark Dayton, who was a Democrat, and then Tim Walls.

Of course, we all know Tim Walls.

He appointed him to a similar group, and he spent about nine years on these boards.

These are advisory councils that

typically...

Was this when he was a preacher or when he was with Del Monte

well you know it actually some of this stuff overlapped and it was all going on at the same time

and

and and he's got other uh ventures that were going on this this guy is

is uh is really a puzzle but he did get appointed to these two commissions by democratic governors

and you know so we've looked around to try to find out if there is aside from that if there are any indicators that this was a political man we know he was pro-life he was he was opposed to abortion he spoke about that but

we did not find any indication of political donations either federally state or local that he gave donations to any political party or candidate

The newspaper in Oklahoma City claims that he was a registered Republican when he lived in Muldrow, Oklahoma, But

the

voting system folks out there say they don't keep records back that far anymore.

So

in the article did not state where they got the information.

They didn't link to any proof of it.

So that seems fairly soft.

So we just don't have a lot to go on.

Outside of this wild backstory with all these different jobs,

you know, he ostensibly ran a security company called Praetorian Guard Security Services.

And he had several vehicles

that were kitted out as squad cars, basically.

You'd see these in different cities, Pinkertons and other security companies.

So he had several of those.

And

undoubtedly, where he got his equipment that he was wearing the night that he committed these shootings, and he was dressed up as a a police officer.

Creepy mask.

Okay, so hang on.

I mean, I'm just

so we don't know if this guy had a political agenda one way or another on the I mean

he seemed to attack the Democrat that was the one that was bucking the extreme

left

of her party.

Is there any rhyme or reason of

or pattern on the people that were on his kill list?

Well, you know,

that's one of the only tells that we have, is that he kept both in the vehicle that he was driving that night and in a room that he rented

for his job,

they found notebooks, handwritten notebooks, and in his car there was

what the FBI concluded was a hit list.

And there were more than 50 names on it.

And as far as I can tell, I haven't finished checking every single one of them, but that these were all Democrats,

not just Minnesota politicians, but also in Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

And he had lists of Planned Parenthood locations and officials in Minnesota on this list.

And of course, the list did include Alyssa Hortman, the former House Speaker who was assassinated along with her husband and the family dog.

So, you know, that that list was very lopsided.

And we know that.

Do we know any if any of those Democrats have anything in common?

Are they hard left?

Are they maybe

mealy mouthed, you know, people that are

I don't know.

I mean,

she seemed to be somebody who was bucking the system that the Democrats would want.

So it's not like this was a hardcore lefty.

This seems like somebody who actually had a conscience was trying to do something that they really believed in.

So why was she on the list?

Or can you tell, have you looked at the politicians' names to be able to see any pattern on voting patterns or anything?

Well, in her case, and this got almost no attention in the corporate press,

within the past two weeks before her death, there was a key vote in the legislature in Minnesota that would strip the subsidized

health care for adult illegal aliens.

And that was a very close vote, and it turns out she was the deciding vote and the only one to cross party lines to put that legislation over the top.

And so that, you know, that certainly didn't endear her

to the left because

that's a kind of a sacred cow.

And so come

January 1st next year, adult illegal aliens will no longer have access to the subsidized or free health care.

So that that was a big vote and that's something you certainly have to put into the equation here and see if if that provides any sort of

any sort of motive.

But

he didn't he really didn't have

any

visible interest in state politics that that we can see.

So you know there's there's

there's lots of intrigue, but

you know he hasn't made statements to people that

you know so and so

I just can't stand this person or

or on the on the other side you know the whether he was his his

childhood friend claimed that he was a Trump voter.

you know, we we don't have any Minnesota's an open primary state, so there's no records that we could check on that.

It's just a lot of soft information, and

I have a feeling that when this is all said and done, his story and the explanation is going to go a lot deeper.

Okay.

Hold on just a second, because I've got a couple of questions.

Why did Tim Waltz

know this was a political assassination immediately?

The phone now that says it's been traced to several foreign countries, is that because of the preaching thing?

His wife arrested with several passports.

And I mean, I don't understand any of this.

So we'll get to that here in just a second.

We're talking to Joe Hanneman.

He is a Blaze News investigative reporter.

Just wrote another story on this today.

You can find it at theblaze.com.

Let me tell you our sponsor this half hour and then one minute back and right into Joe.

When your dog isn't living his best, the best, healthiest life, it's not like, you know, he can tell you.

He just slows down.

He eats less.

He sleeps more.

He moves differently.

And you start to wonder, is this just what happens when dogs get older or is something missing?

Well, this is why Rough Greens exists.

It's a nutritional supplement that you add to your dog's existing food, not to change what they eat, but to upgrade what they get out of it.

Rough greens is loaded with vitamins, probiotics, minerals, digestive enzymes, all the good stuff, the alive stuff that most kibble leaves out.

And for a lot of dogs, the difference is noticeable.

More energy, better digestion, improved mobility, even a shinier coat.

I've seen it in countless countless testimonials from people who love their dogs enough to make just one simple change, and I've seen the difference it can make when I've given it to my dog.

The added years that I believe Uno got, and the happy years that Uno got because of Rough Greens, sincerely, call them at 214-Rough Dog, R-U-F Dog, 214-Rough Dog, or go to roughgreens.com, just use the discount code Beck, R-U-F-F-Greens.com, discount code Beck, or call 214-Rough Dog, Rough Greens, for healthy change for your changing dog.

10 Second Station ID.

Okay, so when this happened, we're talking about the Minnesota shooting.

When this happened,

Tim Walls comes out, seemingly almost immediately, at least that's the way it felt, and said,

you know, this is a political assassination.

Was this just speculation or wishful thinking?

What is it?

How did he know that?

That's a great question.

And nobody asked him that to say, hey, what leads you to the conclusion that this was a politically connected assassination?

It clearly was targeted.

I mean, he selected his victims or potential victims for that night.

But you would think that you would have some intel and nothing that was ever shared to say, yeah,

this is why.

We know this this is why.

In fact,

the FBI and the local police will not ascribe a motive, even after looking at all of his notebooks, which they haven't released all the pages of them, but they did release the hit list.

But

I found that to be very telling that he would describe it in that manner, and I think that set off some of the back and forth between the right and the left on the finger pointing on this.

Right.

And then the police knew somehow to go to the second location in advance of the shootings.

How did they do that?

Well,

these communities are all fairly close together, and after Senator Hoffman was shot and his wife was shot at about 2 a.m.

on the 14th,

that word was circulated to all the area departments, and several of them did proactive

policing and sent squads out to check on some of their lawmakers.

And in one day...

But they didn't stop him, did they, at the second location?

No.

The second location, the family had changed their plans, and they were gone, so they were not even home.

It was the third location where

this fella was parked in his fake squad car about a block away from a state senator's home.

And the local police, New Hope Police Department squad pulled up next to him and tried to get his attention.

Of course, he's got this creepy-looking milky white mask over his head, and he just stared straight ahead.

And the officer apparently was satisfied by the look of the vehicle that, oh,

this must be an officer from some jurisdiction here watching out for the house.

So that officer continued on to the state senator's home and waited for some backup.

And by the time other squads arrived,

he was gone.

He took off and he went to the Hortman Hortman home where he murdered

the former speaker, her husband, and the family dog.

So he certainly could have been stopped if

there had been maybe a little more inquisitiveness, you know, shining the flashlight in there and knocking the window saying, hey, hey.

But they didn't do that.

And then

I've only got two minutes left.

So do you pick which one

has more information in it?

The phone being traced to so many foreign countries or his wife being stopped with cash and passports and everything else in her car.

Do either of those make a difference to this story?

Well, I think there is an explanation for the wife.

You know, he had texted, he did a group text to all of his family or children and his wife

in which he said dad went to war last night.

And he said he didn't want to tell them much about that because he didn't want to implicate them in anything that he was doing.

Then he texted his wife, Sebury called or texted his wife separately and said there's going to be police coming to the house and they're going to be trigger happy and I don't want you to be there.

So he advised her to take the kids.

But she had $10,000 in cash.

She had passports.

and she had the kids with her.

Well, of course, the police were tracking her phone, and they pulled her over,

you know, I think it was about 80 miles away, and she volunteered to let them look through her phone to look at the texts.

But they found the weapon and the ammunition in the vehicle as well.

So, you know, again,

these things just make you pause.

I know.

Joe, thank you so much.

Really great to have you writing for the Blaze.

We'll continue to talk to you about this and follow this story because it is absolutely bizarre.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

I don't know what you have planned for this weekend, but I'm going to be out protesting.

They arrested 75, or sorry, 76 illegals,

including Trendiagra

members in Fort Worth.

And I got to tell you,

I'm a little upset about it.

I was just, I mean, so what?

They're in a gang.

I mean, you know, our gang, did you ever watch that with little banky?

What's the difference?

So here's cut four of this from Fort Worth.

Areas of Fort Worth with high crime rates were targeted in a two-month initiative called Operation Showdown.

76 people were arrested on firearm and drug crimes.

Many of the individuals arrested in this operation are convicted violent felons.

Others are in our country illegally and have suspected ties to the Venezuelan transnational criminal organization, Trende Aragua, also known as TDA.

Yeah, known as TDA for people like me who can't pronounce it.

Anyway,

I,

you know, why are they just persecuting these poor people that are just coming in?

And they're, you know, they're bringing their gang because they're like, hey, I just want to melt into the society.

You know, I'm going to bring the best from my country, TDA.

I'm going to melt into this one.

And then I might kill some people, et cetera, et cetera.

But I don't understand.

This is where I think Trump got it wrong.

I mean, he was saying that they're sending us their worst.

These are their best criminals.

They're fantastic at it.

No, they are.

They're really, really good gang members.

And I'm glad they're here.

Yeah, me too.

Me too.

Now, let me take you to Oregon, to the Capitol,

where the House of Representatives, on the floor of the House of Representatives in the Oregon Capitol, did a circus drag show.

Here it is.

Cut five.

Strange decay

have

What the hell is this?

What are you talking about?

It's just these two guys dressed as women.

You know, one without a shirt on, apparently, and just dancing with blue hair.

What the hell is happening

in in the at the oregon capitol in front of the house of representatives it's like that typical c-span segment with the ridiculous drag show going on and they're not doing anything except dancing to seemingly pre-recorded music yeah wow what a what a skill that is what a skill

what i love is just all the guys that are just sitting there i mean look at that they're just sitting there that most of them aren't even looking they're just like sitting in their seats at the capital like

okay mr speaker

can we get back to some business here uh

they're all in that weird

the i remember when oprah had a show and and there would be a musical performer and then they would feel the need to show oprah like dancing along and it was super awkward because there's obviously when that's just not what you do when you're sitting individually in a seat she's like trying to act like she's into it she never knew the words That's kind of what it looks like with these people.

They're all kind of just sitting out there awkwardly trying to decipher what the appropriate reaction is to this.

By the way, the answer is to walk out.

Yeah, that's a good one.

That's a good one.

You get up and walk out.

But you're living in Oregon, so you know, you might walk out and be stoned to death if you did that.

But probably should have walked out on that one.

I just, I wonder, you know, Oregon, what,

what are your elected officials doing?

I mean, if you want to go to a drag show, that's fine, but

why in the middle of the workday

in the state House of Representatives?

Was this a lead up to

I like silky blue hair votes or

what?

What is this?

It's It's a great question.

Where do you think we are in this?

I was talking to Steve Dace yesterday on his show, and we were talking about

where are we in this situation with

the woke

trans

LGBTQQIA2 Plus

thing?

Is it still advancing the way that it was before?

Have we turned it back?

Are we

at a standoff?

Where do you think we are?

I think we're turning it back, and it's going to implode on itself soon.

I mean, listen to this.

That's pretty much it.

New York Times.

Under new leader Ken Martin, the Democratic National Committee has been plagued by infighting and a drop in donation, raising alarms from Democrats as they try to win back power.

Just moments into the tenure of the new party leader, Kevin Martin, the Democratic National Committee's finance situation has grown so bleak that top officials have discussed whether they might need to borrow money this year to keep paying bills.

Why do you think that's happening?

Why do you think that's happening?

I'll tell you why that's happening.

I mean, same reason it's happening.

New York City Pride parade loses corporate sponsors.

Why?

Why?

You can blame it on the economy, but that's not what's happening.

You have this.

Jasmine Crockett.

Yesterday, we've got a mental health crisis in this country because everybody, no matter how you affiliate yourself, should be against Donald Trump.

Wait, wait, that's the mental health problem?

Right.

I was going to say that.

Can I show you the footage of Oregon again in the state house?

I would say the fact that Jasmine Crockett got elected shows she's correct.

We have a mental health problem in this country.

There's a huge article today, Glenn, on this, just to back you up on this, in the New York Times as well.

We've reached Rainbow Capitalism's End.

And it's from a

LGBTQQIA 2 plus activist who talks about how all these parades are losing money.

They're all hundreds of thousands of dollars in the hole because these companies are not coming out

and supporting them.

They say, this is interesting, Bark Box, Bark Box.

No, proud to say no.

You don't?

It's like a subscription box where they send your dogs treats and toys every month.

No.

Just so you know,

if you have a wife and a pet, you're probably subscribed to it.

But

they sent an internal message in early June where they said, quote, we've made the decision to pause all paid ads and lifecycle marketing pushes for the Pride kit available immediately.

We need to, excuse me, effective immediately.

We need to acknowledge that the current climate makes this promotion feel more like a political statement than a universally joyful moment for all dog people.

Now, I don't know if dog people means the people who own dogs or people who identify as dogs.

I could honestly go either way on that one.

But I thought it's interesting.

Rough call.

Rough call.

A lot of this is,

these are just capitalist decisions, right?

They're not decisions saying, hey, we agree that, you know,

mutilating your child is a bad idea.

It's just capitalism kind of people saying, wait a minute, like they, they don't believe that, so we don't want to push it.

We don't want to be known as the dog treat company that

stands for pride.

We just want to be the dog treat company that everybody likes.

That's a surprise.

I think that's good.

It's a good move.

It's not necessarily a lasting trend, though, because it's

reversing your goal.

You're always going to have people that just go where the popular movement is where they can make a buck.

You're always going to have that.

But I hope that some people have learned their lesson that

stop it.

But here's the real problem.

The real problem is is that you're not having a massive movement.

The coffers would be empty if it wasn't for government graft

and insider, you know, trading, if you will, our tax dollars for their power.

The sad thing is, is that this pact was made during Occupy Wall Street.

I'm absolutely convinced of it.

Occupy Wall Street, it just didn't disappear or fade out.

Wait, a year after Occupy Wall Street, the leader of Occupy Wall Street is an honored guest at the WEF, which is nothing but politicians and giant corporations.

And he's like, you know, we found out we're real allies.

It happened because all of these fringe groups that were cobbling together their power with Occupy Wall Street, All of the big corporations, all of the big businesses, all of Wall Street, they all got together and said, you know what, leave us alone.

We'll help fund your crazy things that we really believe in.

We'll fund all of these things.

Just leave us alone.

And it was right after Occupy Wall Street that all of these corporations that were just being pounded in the streets, all of a sudden, they're good guys.

to all the Occupy Wall Street people, to all the leftists.

They're all fine with those guys then.

And what do we see?

We see them starting to just pour pour money into the coffers of

all of these left-wing groups, BLM.

Everybody did it.

That's all that was,

you know.

But the American people see that, but they also see crazy things.

Wednesday, Maxwell Frost, he's a Florida congressman.

He suggested granting citizenship to every illegal alien in the country.

Because if Republicans don't want illegal aliens in America, the fix is simple.

We just make them legal.

Okay.

We're an immigrant-filled community.

We're a community filled with people.

And yes, people are going to have different statuses.

And I want my Republican colleagues that say, I don't want any undocumented people in this country.

I actually agree with you.

So let's document everybody.

That's how we fix this problem.

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Really, honestly, the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Is that in line with the American people?

No, especially when New York City, sorry, New York, U.S.

attorney in New York

was

walking in the street.

He had just left his office.

He's strolling by a Hilton hotel.

Suddenly, he spots a man behaving suspiciously.

He says, I have my eye on him.

I turn back and I'm in front of the Hilton and I'm just standing there and I'm looking at him and he starts yelling at me in language that I don't understand.

Then he pulls out a knife and lunges at me.

Now they know who this guy is.

He's an illegal alien, and

they think this illegal alien knew exactly who this guy was.

Well, they didn't kill him like they killed

the

insurance, the medical insurance CEO.

So they don't have a hero here, but this guy's being shipped out.

But, you know, here it is again.

The uber, uber left that is

empowering all of this stuff.

There's a viral video that was out for ICE, a detainee, and everybody's like, He was a dad, and his wife was about to have a baby, and they just scoop him up in the middle of the night.

Look how bad this is.

Well,

yeah,

I mean,

the problem is, you know, he was in a gang, he was convicted of murder, attempted murder, sentenced to 82 years in prison.

He served 14 years, but he was married to a U.S.

citizen, but notified by ICE that he had to report for deportation on June 12th.

So he was, you know, gee, I mean, it was just a murderer.

It was just a murderer.

That's it.

Meanwhile, the ICE facility in Portland, under daily siege by Antifa militants and riots as they spread.

You're seeing now 400

threats coming in to members of the ICE over and over and over and over again,

and nobody's doing anything.

I mean,

there's a 500% increase in assaults, not just threats, 500% increase in assaults while trying to arrest illegals.

Okay.

All right.

This is not what the American people want.

This is not who the American people are.

It's not.

It's not.

And I am absolutely convinced that there's something else also going on here.

And that something else is that, I don't know who it is, China, Iran, Russia, any of our enemies, any of our enemies.

We have enough of them.

They are stirring things up.

I mean, is it a coincidence that last two weeks it was all about the violence and everything else about the left?

And then their no-kings protest goes off.

And then all of a sudden this week, we're turning on each other.

everybody on the right is turning on each other

is that just a coincidence really

or are we being molded and shaped are we being pushed by foreign adversaries and adversaries here in the united states that want to see us turn on each other you can't do it pay attention to what's really important uh because most of this stuff is not important But pay attention to what's really important.

If somebody's trying to split you up from people that you already trust, don't listen to them.

I don't care what they say they are or who they say they are.

They are not a friend of the Republic.

All right, back in just a second.
