you're listening to the best of the blend back program.

All right.

You sick, twisted, freak.

We have Jill Savage with us now.

She is the host of Blaze News Tonight, which airs every night, 7 Central, 8 Eastern.

And welcome to the program.

How are you?

I am doing great.

I'm doing great because we don't have to go through and say, oh, how did it go last night?

Was it good?

Was it bad?

No.

Everybody on the right that watched that, everybody that is a normie Glenn that watched that is like, wait, this J.D.

Vance guy, they're trying to tell me he's weird.

They're trying to tell me he's out there and crazy.

This guy looks pretty normal.

And you know what we get from that?

The media, of course, anytime he's going to have a sit-down interview, of course they're going to try and frame it as whatever they can to make the right not in a good glowing image.

Boy, they worked hard at that last night.

But with live debates, with live television, you can cut right through and speak directly to the American people without anyone interfering.

And he shined so bright on that stage last night.

Yes, he did.

The moment for you.

The moment for me was when J.D.

Vance came out his opening remarks and he hit it later with the economy stuff, but he brought back the American dream.

Glenn, on this show, on any show that we're looking at over the last weekend, there's so much doom and gloom out there in the world.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Right.

We could have potential World War III, inflation, the poor strikes.

What's going on?

People don't need to be reminded about how bad it is.

Listen to me.

I can tell you've been listening to the show for a long time.

I love this show.

I am one who wants the doom and gloom topic.

She actually started watching when we were doing headline news at CNN.

She was the one that watched that.

She was the one who watched that.

But I look at it and say, okay,

people are living their lives.

It's hard enough as it is.

And J.D.

Vance went out on that stage multiple times last night and said, it's okay to still have the American dream.

That to me is so important because we see poll after poll with millennials, with Gen Zers, and they say, you know what?

I don't think that my life, my quality of life is going to surpass that that my parents had.

Whether it's true or not, that's what they believe right now.

And you need somebody to come back and say, no, it is still possible to live the American dream.

So I want to play that clip here in a second, but, you know, JD Vance, if I hear one more person say, you know, I grew up in a middle class, first of all, that's great.

If you grew up in a middle class and you're now in upper class, fantastic.

That's the story of America.

But J.D.

Vance came out and said, you know, I grew up in a middle class.

I don't think he did.

He did not.

He grew up in the lowest of lower classes.

I mean, his mom was addicted to heroin.

I mean,

he had a horrid, horrid upbringing.

He's underselling his story, which is hard to do.

And they made the movie about it.

Again, go watch it this weekend on Netflix, Hillbilly Elegy.

But when you look at what he was able to overcome from that childhood, and then Tim Walls is out there making fun of J.D.

Vance for, oh, he went to Yale.

Oh, okay.

At what point are the leftists the one that are making fun of the Ivy League colleges?

That's weird in and of itself.

But the fact that J.D.

Vance could stand there on stage at the RNC and say, my mom had struggled struggled with addiction.

And you know what?

If I get into the White House along with Donald Trump, she will have her 10-year sober chip and we'll have that party in the White House.

That story is incredible.

And that's why the media will hate him even more.

So listen to his opening statement.

This is what Jill was talking about of hope.

Listen to this.

I want to answer the question, but I want to actually give an introduction to myself a little bit because I recognize a lot of Americans don't know who either one of us are.

I was raised in a working class family.

My mother required food assistance for periods of her life.

My grandmother required social security help to raise me.

And she raised me in part because my own mother struggled with addiction for a big chunk of my early life.

I went to college on the GI Bill after I enlisted in the Marine Corps and served in Iraq.

And so I stand here asking to be your vice president with extraordinary gratitude for this country, for the American dream that made it possible for me to live my dreams.

And most importantly, I know that a lot of you are worried about the chaos in the world and the feeling that the American dream is unattainable.

I want to try to convince you tonight over the next 90 minutes that if we get better leadership in the White House, if we get Donald Trump back in the White House, the American dream is going to be attainable once again.

This is one of the reasons why I said

he is the best vice president candidate of my lifetime.

I can't think of anybody who's even in the category of this guy.

He walks on stage.

This is the first time Americans have seen him.

Many Americans have seen him and seen him in a presidential debate.

He could be president tomorrow.

You know,

after

in 2028, assuming we still have elections,

in 2028,

Ron DeSantis will have a run for his money because this guy is really solid.

Absolutely.

And he came out like a professor, right?

What did he do last night?

In his opening statement, here's what I'm going to tell you.

Yes.

We're going to learn.

Here's what we're learning in the middle.

And then at the end, wrapping it back up, here's what we can do as a country.

He knows how to frame a message.

And oh my gosh, you guys on the right.

Please, can we have more of that?

Ron DeSantis is very good at it.

J.D.

Vance is very good at it.

It feels like the politicians, though, they forget that when they get on stage.

All the messaging goes out the window and they're in front of the media.

We need to clearly articulate our values, our principles, because we have the winning message.

The masks are off.

They are telling you on the left that they are flat out demonic.

It's not a hard game to play right now.

This should be the easiest one to go through and message.

It is a battle of good versus evil.

And we're on the winning side.

So,

you know, I'm I agree with you that this is a battle of good versus evil,

but I don't think we get anywhere by calling, and I'm not saying you did this, by calling Kamala evil or whatever.

I think it is a bloodlust that comes from evil.

But I actually think these people really think they're right.

It's a funny line I just drew there.

Like, don't call them evil, but it is from a bloodlust that it results in evil.

Yeah, no, but

it is.

I'm not saying that it is a, I'm not saying that they are knowingly doing this.

They have, they have built this bloodlust up

thinking they're doing the right thing and not recognizing you might be in the service of the wrong guy.

Well, it's that, and it's that Nazi and that famous skate where he's like, are we the baddies?

Yeah.

Like, it's that, yeah, that type of thing at this point.

I mean, when you're sitting on stage arguing about the benefits of ending the lives of 63 million children,

that's their, we should all note, that's their good polling argument.

Yeah.

It's not just their fault.

The fact that that is the argument that works in the polls to the point that our party is seemingly halfway running away from it is despicable in every way.

I think the reason why so many conservatives have changed is because they demonized us.

They called us Nazis.

And so when somebody calls you a Nazi and a racist,

If you're a thinking human being,

you do a little inventory on yourself.

Am I, what am I saying that that is like that?

And then you understand,

well, no, I'm not.

And here's why, yada, yada, yada.

They haven't done that.

They have not been pushed in any of their positions.

So they just keep sliding lower and lower and lower.

And you can't defend it.

That's why she's not doing any interviews.

That's why Walls, this is the last you'll see of him doing any interviews or anything else, because they've never been pushed.

So they can't, they don't know how to defend it.

Absolutely.

And it showed on stage last night that Tim Walls has done one interview with Kamala Harris and it was a very powder puff CNN sit-down interview.

And J.D.

Vance has been thrown out there and you take all the press that you can, if it's on a tarmac, if it's a sit-down interview, we don't care.

We're going to push him out in front of the American people and you are going to clearly articulate our vision.

But the leftists, they have, they've gone so far down the wrap.

You just look at it and you say,

where do they even start to come back from this and get them back in the center?

I think that it's too far gone for the leftists

that are truly believing that the abortion is the nut.

It's the number one issue, and they will not budge from that.

So what do you do with the rest of America, the normies that are still out there, that still say, you know what, I don't think that that's exactly the way that I want to go?

Well, I think J.D.

Vance articulated that in a very clear, decise manner last night.

You're sending

a text to a friend, and you have one clip to pick.

You would pick the opening statement.

The opening statement, yeah, and just the fact that he would come back and talk about the American dream a couple different times in that debate, because people need to feel that there is still some hope out there.

They can't go about living their days with the doom and gloom that is hanging over their head.

That's going to be there anyway.

We need somebody that is inspirational, that can say we can get through this and get out of this and end up better on the other side.

Let me just end this.

Thank you.

Thank you so much, Jill.

Let me just end this segment with his closing statement, which has bookend the entire debate.

Senator Vance, your closing statement.

Well, I want to thank Governor Waltz,

you folks at CBS, and of course the American people for tuning in this evening.

And one of the issues we didn't talk about was energy.

And I remember when I was being raised by my grandmother when she didn't have enough money to turn on the heat some nights because Ohio gets pretty cold at night and because money was often very tight.

And I believe, as a person who wants to be your next vice president, that we are a rich and prosperous enough country where every American, whether they're rich or poor, ought to be able to turn on their heat in the middle of a cold winter night.

That's gotten more difficult thanks to Kamala Harris's energy policies.

I believe that whether you're rich or poor, you ought to be able to afford a nice meal for your family.

That's gotten harder because of Kamala Harris's policies.

I believe that whether you're rich or poor, you ought to be able to afford to buy a house.

You ought to be able to live in safe neighborhoods.

You ought to not have your communities flooded with fentanyl.

And that too has gotten harder

because of Kamala Harris's policies.

Now, I've been in politics long enough to do what Kamala Harris does when she stands before the American people and says that on day one, she's going to work on all these challenges I just listed.

She's been the vice president for three and a half years.

Day one was 1,400 days ago, and her policies have made these problems worse.

Now, I believe that we have the most beautiful country in the world.

I meet people on the campaign trail who can't afford food, but have the grace and generosity to ask me how I'm doing and to tell me they're praying for my family.

What that has taught me is that we have the greatest country, the most beautiful country, the most incredible people anywhere in the world.

But they're not going to be able to achieve their full dreams with the broken leadership that we have in Washington.

They're not going to be able to live their American dream if we do the same thing that we've been doing for the last three and a half years.

We need change.

We need a new direction.

We need a president who has already done this once before and did it well.

Please vote for Donald Trump.

And whether you vote for me or vote for Tim Walls, I just want to say I'm so proud to be doing this and I'm rooting for you.

God bless you and good night.

Let me make both those clips i'd like to turn that into one clip and uh we'll post that so you can send that out i'll i'll tweet it you got to send that to your uh your friends uh donald trump 2024 jd vance 2028.

dan is a semi-professional bodybuilder in new york uh you know Dan and I, you know, Dan, we've got a lot in common.

Anyway, he's been suffering from shoulder pain for years due to that weightlifting injury.

You know, Stu, I mean, if I've had one weightlifting injury, I've had a thousand.

You are Mr.

Gym Rats.

That's you.

Anyway, he kept hearing me talk about Relief Factor on the radio, wondered if it could help him.

Within a couple of weeks, beginning of taking it, he said his pain went away.

His mobility began to return.

Dan got his life back.

So now I'll see him again in those competitions.

And

that's a good try, Dan.

But, you know, when you're competing against me, Relief Factor is a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation, which is the source of most of the pain in our bodies and a lot of disease as well.

It's 100% drug-free, developed by doctors to reduce or eliminate pain.

Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's Quick Start, 70% of them have gone on to order it again.

Give Relief Factor a try with their three-week quick start.

It's $19.95, less than a dollar a day.

See how it can help you turn back the clock on pain.

Now back to the podcast.

This is the best of the Glenbeck program.

We're thrilled to have Dinesh D'Souza joining us, a best-selling author, award-winning filmmaker.

His documentaries, 2016,

Obama's America, and then America, Imagine a World Without Her, some of the top-grossing

political films of all time.

He's got a new one coming out called Vindicating Trump.

We're going to get into that in in just a second.

Let's first start with the debate last night.

Yeah, I thought J.D.

was

terrific.

Well, he vindicated Trump in his own dissenting.

It's the first time I think anybody has done that really well.

Yeah, and he almost vindicated the virtues of an Ivy League education.

Of course, Tim Waltz boasts that no one he's ever taught has gone to an Ivy League school.

That's something a teacher should say.

He takes a certain pride in the lack of achievement of his.

I've raised a bunch of kids, I've taught them, and they've all gone on to, well, be farmers and plumbers, which is totally fine, but a teacher should be like, you know, and I...

I really helped drive somebody to really go on and do something just amazing that they thought they couldn't do.

Absolutely.

I mean,

the thing about Waltz is he's conveying a certain, I guess they brought him on to bring up to make a left-wing populism to counter

JD's appeal to like the white working class, but I'm really not sure that that's Waltz's appeal at all.

He has a kind of.

What is his appeal?

Well, it's a kind of Aushuck's goofballism, which is a little unbecoming the way I see it.

I mean, I don't know if you saw that little scene where he's on the football field, he sees a mascot, and he just goes into a massive sports routine.

He does the victory sign.

He jumps up and down.

He hugs the mascot and you have to remind yourself, this is a 60-year-old man.

The emotionalism is out of proportion with the event.

And it's that exaggerated mannerism.

I think there's a, you know, we all know there's a kind of fake fakery with Kamala Harris.

I think there's a different kind of artificiality or fakery with

Tim Waltz.

The thing about J.D.

Vance and Trump, by contrast, is authenticity.

I mean, they're both the real deal.

They are.

J.D.

came out from the kind of the dregs of society as he writes himself.

He said

twice, I'm from middle class.

No, he's not.

No.

He's from low class.

And not only that, but it's in a kind of way worse because it's one thing to grow up in poverty, right?

There are Indians who grew up in the slums.

But you take a slum kid and you give him opportunity and he'll thrive.

Why?

Because he's actually got a family.

He's got

a social structure even in the slum.

He's just missing opportunity.

With J.D.

Mance, if you read about his family, his grandmother setting his grandfather on fire,

the cultural dysfunctionality

mirrors anything you'd find in a barrier or in a ghetto.

Yeah, I mean, his mom is addicted to heroin.

How many people do you know that grew up like that that have achieved

just breaking that cycle?

Just breaking that cycle is a huge victory.

Going on and being a vice presidential candidate who held his own like he did last night, that is only in America, literally only in America.

You know, it's funny, he has the Indian wife.

I had him on my podcast, and my name, Dinesh, is said Dinesh in America, but in India, it's said a little differently.

It's actually said more like Dinesh, right?

So anyway, JD comes on, he goes, hello, Dinesh.

And it kind of startled me, but then I remembered he got it from Usha.

He probably said, call him Dinesh, you know?

And so I chuckled out loud.

But so JD has this kind of wonderful life story of moving in a way from kind of rural Appalachia into a certain cosmopolitanism and a certain urbane style, which is very fact-driven, very measured.

So I thought he was very effective.

So

I think he was most effective last night at giving people who might want to vote for Donald Trump but are just a little hesitant.

You know, I don't know.

I thought

he made it okay to vote for Donald Trump for those people who are edgy about it.

You know what I mean?

We also can't forget that Trump is well into his 70s, and I think people who are voting for Trump have to look a little bit beyond Trump.

And so JD has to make people comfortable that, hey, you know what?

If something happens to Trump and I'm in the saddle, I'm going to be fine.

And I think he did do that last night.

And it was...

I mean, it shows Donald Trump is not planning on, you know, becoming king forever, because that is clearly a successor.

He picked a successor.

Yeah, and I think also Trump dispelled the idea, which was kind of circulating with Mike Pence, that somehow Trump is this alpha male, and he picks people who are very passive, people who will never steal the limelight, people who are not smarter than he is.

But JD is, in a way, competitive on all those fronts.

And Trump appears to be very comfortable in picking a guy like JD.

So I think it says a lot about Trump as well as about JD.

He really likes JD.

Let me take that same kind of path of making it okay to vote for Donald Trump.

I have been saying for a while, I'm so glad you're doing this, somebody has to compile all of the things that have been said about Donald Trump and compare it to what the truth is now that we can prove all of the things that are true.

I just saw Leslie Stahl on 60 Minutes back in 20, I don't know, 2017 or sometime, and they were talking about his Russian collusion.

And he said, Leslie, that's not true.

And

they bugged my office.

They were spying on, and she just became indignant.

That's not true.

There's no evidence of that.

Well, now we know the evidence.

So the vindication of Trump is so important.

And the vindication of Trump is important because Trump himself does his own thing.

There's a certain appealing shtick.

Trump is a bit of a stand-up comedian.

Of course, in the two assassination attempts, he showed, I think, a sublime level of courage.

Oh, yeah.

And I don't know anyone alive who would respond to either assassination attempt that way.

Not to mention, by the way, the 91 criminal charges.

Think of it.

Any other Republican facing two criminal charges would probably have exited the field.

Yes.

May never be heard from again.

And Trump not only survives and endures, he is such a, he does so much legal rope-a-dope.

He thwarts all the gag orders.

He comes right out of the courtroom and starts speaking and taking on the judge.

So his ability to forge ahead is sort of legendary.

It is.

Now, that being said, when I remember flashing back to the Reagan days, Reagan would stand up and make the case for himself.

Here are the reasons to vote for me.

Trump does not do that.

And that's why this film, Vindicating Trump, it's in theaters now, by the way, 800 and some theaters around the country.

And I have a book of the same title coming out in about a week.

Right.

VindicatingTrump.com, if I can give the website,

type in your city or your town, and boom, the theaters will pop right up.

So this has been,

I think, an exciting project because like you say,

we can now look back and see all the ways in which devious things were done and presented as true.

Here's a small example.

Fauci recently comes out and says, you know that six-foot social distancing rule?

There were no studies behind that.

There was no science.

All the follow the science was made up.

The rule was made up.

But then I always think to myself, why?

Why did you make up that rule?

And the answer, I think, is obvious.

And that is, if people have to be six feet apart from each other, you can't have a normal election.

Because in a normal election, people stand in line to vote.

So the justification for mailing out millions of ballots, mailing drop boxes, changing all the rules, all of this was connected in some way to the social distancing that was presented as something that was a mandate, but as it turns out, out, was a conjecture.

Have we even

begun to turn the corner on any of this?

I mean, I'm seeing, like, I think Tulsi Cabard, RFK Jr., his running mate, who is, you know, now she's even saying, no, the election was stolen in 2020.

She said, I didn't believe it before.

I believe it now because I've seen the inner workings of the Democratic Party.

This is the point.

I think there's been a real, certainly a breakthrough in

people grasping how deep this problem lies.

In fact, I think we have to give a little bit of rope to Trump in the sense that some of the mistakes that Trump made were he came in from the outside.

I think Trump thought, we know the media is left-wing.

We know that Hollywood is left-wing.

But is the FBI left-wing?

The CIA, the military, really?

I think Trump thought: if I bring in a general, John Kelly, this guy's going to do what I say.

He'll get it done.

So the idea that the guys in the lab coats at the CDC CDC and the NIH were ideological, were corrupt, were lying, I don't think that crossed his mind.

Yesterday, a couple of days ago, I saw George Conway raging on one of these shows and he was saying, you know, Trump is such a narcissist.

He only cares about himself.

You know, he doesn't care about people.

He doesn't care about the country.

And I'm thinking to myself, my mind flashed back to COVID.

And I thought, here's Trump in March of 2020.

He's got a roaring economy, which is going to carry him on his little surfboard right across the finish line.

And then the people in the white coats come to him and say, You got to shut it down.

Right now, if Trump only cared about himself, he'd be like, I don't care.

Let the pandemic rage.

That's not my problem.

I want to get across the finish line.

That's my goal.

But no, Trump immediately goes, You know what?

I actually know that I'm killing the golden goose that I created and I'm going to jeopardize my own chance of re-election.

And he did it.

And he did it more effectively than what they're saying now.

He went beyond what they were saying.

They were saying, you know, the left was saying at first, you know, he's a racist.

And he's like, I'm shutting it down.

I'm shutting it down because this is the advice.

That is not remembered either.

No, no.

And the achievement was that Trump said, look, we need to fight this and we need to fight this with science.

And so he deployed

the effort to try to find a vaccine.

Now, apparently they found a vaccine that reduces the severity, but then they started lying about that, right?

You take the vaccine, this is Rochelle Wolensky, you can't get COVID, you can't give away, give COVID.

The disinformation was coming from the government.

That's the whole point.

So, when Tim Wall stands up last night and goes, Well, you can't shout fire in a crowded theater.

We're not talking about shouting fire in the crowded theater.

We're talking about the government censoring critics who are saying truthful things in response to the government's own lies.

We're not the theater already burnt down.

We're outside saying, who started the fire?

It appears maybe the firemen were involved.

That's the difference.

And that's when free speech must happen.

Must happen.

I think the key thing I'm trying to do here with Trump is answer en passant, or along the way, the Republican who says something like this, I don't like Trump, but I like his policies.

Or they'll say, you know, he needs to shut his mouth.

Or Dinesh, tell him to stop posting on social media.

So there's a certain idea out there that we need a new and different Trump, a kind of a reform Trump.

We need to remake Trump.

But my point is that a lot of Trump's greatest qualities come out of the same personality that is over the top.

I mean, Trump is obviously, you know, he's a salesman and he'll say things like,

for him, the crowd isn't just big.

It has to be the biggest crowd ever.

Right?

The burgers at Mar-a-Lago aren't just good.

They're like the best burgers ever made.

You know, that's Trump.

And everyone knows that.

Even his dictator for a day is Trumpian shtick.

Now, not a dictator, but maybe for one day.

You know, this is like stand-up comedy, and the left pretends to take it seriously.

I think that's the key point.

They pretend that he poses this severe threat.

Deep down, they know he doesn't.

But deep down, they also do fear him like they don't fear any other Republican.

I've only got about 40 seconds.

Tell me about the

idea of 7% in the latest polling coming out of Pennsylvania, there's a seven-point spread between people who say they're going to vote for Trump and people who say, I know Trump and his policies are better for me economically and for my life.

What's that gap?

And does that go away?

Do those 7%

actually walk in and vote for Trump?

Yeah, I think

if the American people could see

there's a dimension of Trump, he's a genuinely nice guy.

So, for example, he's famously egotistical in public, right?

He loves praise.

In private, he's not.

He's actually self-deprecating, and he shows great curiosity about people.

He also is very,

he has a certain generosity of spirit.

And all of this is evident to people who are around him.

I try how the centerpiece of this film is a one-on-one with Trump, and I try to bring out that private dimension of Trump.

Yes.

which I think will give people a great deal of, not just comfort, but enthusiasm in supporting him.

Okay.

you can find out uh where this is playing near you.

Just go to vindicating trump.com vindicatingtrump.com.

That's the website.

And find it wherever you can.

Make sure you bring some friends with you, vindicatingtrump.com.

Also, we'll have you back when the book comes out.

Thank you, Dinash.

Thank you.

Appreciate it.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

The lovely and talented Chip Roy is with us now.

Hello, Chip.

Good morning, Gwen.

How are you, brother?

I am.

I'm really good.

I wish people were taking the

crisis that we are facing on the border more seriously.

I think it's getting better, but I don't think people understand what we are actually facing.

And the state of Texas came out and called a spade a spade.

The Venezuelan gang

has now been, by Texas, called what it is, a terrorist organization.

Well, you know, look, I do think the election season, J.D.

advanced last night, broadly speaking, where we've been trying to drive the message over the last few years is taking root.

It's taking time.

We obviously have a media that doesn't want to help.

They covered up.

They, you know, they basically make excuses for an administration that is purposely abusing our borders to achieve their political aims.

And in the process, they are endangering Americans.

Americans are dying.

And migrants are getting abused.

JD handled that very well, pushing back on that last night.

I know we'll talk about the debate in a minute.

But on the issue, it's really important because this comes up a lot.

And I know you get this a lot as a man of faith.

We get pushed back on it, saying it is unchristian-like, right?

That is that we are not being compassionate.

And you hear the Pope out there talking about this.

If we want to have our borders be secure and stop the flow of illegal immigration.

I think that is exactly backwards.

I do too.

The Bible is very specific about sovereignty, about God's plan, about the nations.

You don't have to look any further than the history of Israel itself and how they dealt with boundaries.

And there's plenty of scripture recognizing sovereignty and God's plans.

But importantly, it is inherently un-Christian and uncompassionate.

to allow these children to be abused, to allow people to be abused, to be put in harm's way, to be used by the cartels, to be then put in slave labor, to be put in the sex trafficking trade, to have 320,000 kids get misplaced by our bureaucratic government who's being supposedly compassionate.

It's ridiculous.

We need to stand up for a sovereign nation because we have a right to do so.

Elon Musk says this very well.

Are you truly going to invite

7.7 billion people on this planet to come join the 300 million plus Americans and say that we don't have borders?

Well, then we don't have a nation.

It just defies common sense.

So the rule of law matters, and this is the last point I'll say, the rule of law matters for the very people that are attracted to come here.

Because if we don't have the rule of law, if we don't have a nation, then they have no place to go.

The huddled masses have no place to long for and strive for.

And then we weaken the rest of the world.

We weaken the Western Hemisphere.

We empower our enemies.

And you have 35,000 Chinese nationals coming here.

You have all of these terrorist organizations.

You point out the Venezuelan gangs.

They're real.

I went out to Aurora, Colorado.

I went and met with the residents of those apartments who lost their ability to have a home, who didn't have a manager on site.

Venezuelan gangs were changing the locks.

This is all real.

It's true.

And thankfully, people are waking up.

Some of us have been screaming this for five years, sent me to Congress.

Finally, I think the American people are finally waking up.

So tonight on the TV show, I'm exposing some of the things that are happening overseas where they're training for activities here in the United States

in places like Iran.

We are in serious trouble.

Our Department of Homeland Security has said

that it's only a matter of time now, and all of the lights are flashing red.

I'm surprised we haven't been hit yet, but I would expect one after the election

or shortly before the election.

What is it going to take for

people to understand

this is not going to get better unless you make a massive change in leadership?

Well, I hope people are starting to see that.

You know, what we see right now is the destruction of America.

Nothing less than that.

And I think it's really important.

And I think I'm in a unique position to make that point.

You no doubt have listeners who have long fully supported President Trump, maybe a few that were, no, I support DeSantis, but now they're back to Trump.

I was out there advocating for Ron DeSantis.

He's a good friend and a good man, and I very much respect him.

I can't overstate how critical it is and important it is that Donald Trump get elected on November 5th.

I cannot overstate that.

If we don't get him elected, I don't believe the Republic can survive.

I don't think it is any, I don't think that's hyperbole, Glenn.

Like, we live in a world where people do this stuff for clicks.

They do this stuff and they say outrageous things.

I don't like making statements like that.

I believe in our country.

Our country turns 250 years old

in 2026 and on July 2nd when we voted to break away from England.

I believe in the values of this country and the greatness of so many Americans.

But

this administration, the current radical progressive Democrat regime, have completely disintegrated our safety, security, and culture.

They've invited masses of people into our country, released known criminals, known murderers.

Think about that.

You saw that data that was released last week with the 13,000, 15,000 known murderers and whatever.

We've known this.

We finally get a report from the administration confirming it.

We've known it because you can see it with your own eyes.

Lake and Riley's family knows it.

Jocelyn Nungare's beautiful mama, Alexis Nungare, knows it.

Kayla Hamilton's family knows it.

Rachel Morin's family knows it.

Do I need to keep going down the list?

That's what they're doing to us.

So, to take it back, you ask the question:

what will it take?

I think we're seeing what it will take, I hope, in real time.

But we're going to have to show up on November 5th, and as President Trump says, make it too big to rig.

So, let me ask you that question.

FEMA doesn't seem to be pulling out all of the stops to help the people in Appalachia.

That is Trump country.

I don't know who is working on making sure that the people who don't have roads, cars, electricity are in five weeks going to be able to pull

a lever for whoever they want to vote for.

Are we doing anything about that?

Well, without getting into the specifics,

some good friends of mine in North Carolina I've been having conversations with about that very point, ensuring that we're able to get all of the people who want to have a say in their elections and should have a say in their elections despite the absolute tragedy that has occurred in the western part of North Carolina and the eastern part of Tennessee.

Don't want to forget that as well.

Oh, I know.

It's Apple Asia.

And

I know you don't.

I just meant, you know, broadly, we all keep talking about North Carolina and, you know, parts of Georgia, parts of Tennessee, they all got hit hard.

And but to your point, yes, some conversations are going on to make sure we try to focus on that.

I've had some good conversations with the national GOP.

There's a limit to what you can do to some degree, right?

It's local, you know, local registrars and they have to figure out how to get it done.

Obviously, right now, we're trying to get, you know, Elon, God bless him, is donating Starlink.

We're trying to get that stuff out.

FEMA's nowhere to be found.

The FCC and all of the federal government that walked away from allowing Starlink to be given out to increase broadband.

Instead, they're sitting around and now these people don't have anything.

So

Elon, others, private sector people are stepping up.

And I will say that's one thing.

You know, go back to the Cajun Navy from a few years back, right?

You know, came over to help during the floods and the hurricanes.

My friend Corey Mills down in Florida, he's working with some private sectors and some guys that are ex-military.

They're flying in, flying helicopters, and they're just sticking their middle finger up to the bureaucracy, to the federal government, and local government, by the way, that wants to get in the way of it all.

That's the way we save our country.

It's not getting in this weird, like, you know, internet's in battles in DC.

I do my best up here to try to basically, the way some of my friends put it in, we're kind of prophets to a degree.

We have to, like, kind of go look at what's going on, send up the warning signals.

You know, I wrote a letter in April about the George Soros radio issue because I saw it coming.

That's our job, right?

Is you look out, you go put that stuff out there, and you try to highlight for the people so we can raise the issue because like it or not, I'm one 435th of one half of one third of this crap hole.

And we have to build numbers.

And the American people in our system are the ones that help us build the numbers.

So that's, you know, what we try to do.

I got off target.

Sorry.

No, that's, that's fine.

Are we going to actually look into the funding of those George Soros

funders?

Yeah, I mean, we're, you know,

we're looking into it.

Like I said, I rose the issue up, got some committee folks looking at it.

I'm trying to figure out there's some lawsuits.

You know, some of our friends at America First Legal, there's going to be, I think, some radio stations and some others that would have standing.

We're trying to figure out who would have standing.

I don't have standing.

I don't think.

We're trying to figure that out, how we can at least litigate it to try to stop it because what they're doing is unprecedented.

It's unlawful, we believe.

Do I have standing?

Because I'm on some of those stations.

Do I have standing?

You may be, and you might need to have that conversation.

I'm happy.

Let's have that conversation.

You might have standing because we need to elevate that issue.

It's a huge, huge issue.

You all, you know better than I do.

And so, you know, look, I was talking to brendan carr and the fcc he's been one of the leaders on this i'm sure you've followed him up on social media yeah and brendan he's been putting this out there i said dude what do we do he goes god we got to win in november because we're outvoted you know they lost three to two uh it was a bad decision but that's what happens like the people that run ferk it's like the people that run everything else if we don't win in november back to the point you know five minutes ago we lose the country yeah that's what's at stake it's things like this the fcc yeah tulsi gabbard's

commission tulsi gabbard said to me last night I was talking to her after the debate, and she said, Glenn, this is all about freedom of speech.

The last thing that J.D.

Vance said in the debate was, this is about freedom of speech.

And it is.

We are going to lose freedom of speech if they are re-elected to another term.

And we are going to lose our very way of life as a result.

And we're going to be attacked on our Second Amendment.

We're going to be attacked on all of the things upon which our nation was founded.

these rights come from our creator they are our rights the government that was created by the founders recognized those rights they didn't give us those rights we have to flex our muscle as people who as the declaration lists out as jefferson and and to some degree some help from adams and franklin as those guys wrote that out it was very clear what they meant okay and and We are supposed to live freely.

And we need this government to reflect that because we love our country.

We look at the flag with pride.

We look at the history and all that it stood for.

I believe we can take it back.

But let's remember, we have a right to live free.

That's the bottom line.

That's what it actually boils down to at the end.

And so

this election is going to decide whether or not these 50 states can stand united and be a

strong and sovereign nation.

This election is going to decide that.

Again, I don't like engaging in hyperbole,

but when the founders talk about the right to pursue happiness,

we've got to pursue happiness.

I want it to be with this country.

We better win in November to make that happen.

Okay.
