We've got a good show for you.

Mojavier Malay yesterday spoke at the United Nations for the very first time, and what a speech he gave.

We're going to go over that a bit.

But first, let me talk to you about Lear Capital.

He said

that

we are now at a crossroads and that these collectivist policies that destroyed his country are going to destroy the entire West.

And he says, it's not too late to turn around.

But are we going to?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't see that really happening.

I mean, maybe Trump gets in and that would be a great thing.

That would give us some more time, but we still have to make some big changes.

$3 billion in trusted transactions with gold and silver have happened at Lear Capital.

They are the

trusted

gold company that you can trust.

It's a new day, a time to rise.

Welcome to the fusion

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

An amazing speech was given at the United Nations, and it did not come from the United States, but it should have come from the United States.

We'll tell you about it here in 60 seconds.

Sometimes there's a choice that is so obvious that you look back on it later and you're like, why did it take me so long to do that?

I mean, that was clearly the right choice all along.

I know I felt that way plenty times in life, and it's not the best feeling, but that's how you're going to feel when you change your mobile service over to Patriot Mobile, like you should have done years ago.

Patriot Mobile, they share your values.

They're not going to send your hard-earned money to aid in the destruction of America.

They love America.

They love God.

They support our police.

And switching over is really easy.

And when you switch to Patriot Mobile, you'll get a whole month for free.

They're America's only Christian conservative mobile company, and their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and glorify God always in everything that they do.

So Javier Malay got up yesterday to the United Nations, and this is worth reading almost verbatim.

Listen to this.

To the authorities of the United Nations, to the representatives of the various countries that make up the United Nations, and to all the citizens of the world who are watching us, good afternoon.

For those who do not know, I'm not a politician.

I'm an economist, a libertarian, liberal economist who has never had the ambition to be a politician.

I'm an economist, a liberal, libertarian economist who's never had that, but I was honored to be

honored with the position of President of the Argentinian Republic in the face of resounding failure of more than a century of collective policies.

This is my first speech in front of the United Nations General Assembly, and I'd like to take this opportunity with humility.

to alert the various nations of the world to the path that they have been treading for decades and the danger of this organization's failure to fulfill its original mission.

I do not come here to tell the world what to do.

I come here to tell the world, on the one hand, what will happen if the United Nations continues to promote collectivist policies which they have been promoting under the mandate of the 2030 agenda, and on the other hand, what are the values of the new Argentina that we defend.

I do want to begin giving credit where credit is due, the United Nations, and he goes into 70 years of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Then he says,

the successful model of the United Nations, whose origins can be traced back to the ideas of President Wilson.

Oh, yeah, it goes on to Wilson.

Let me get it.

I want to be clear on the position of the Argentine agenda.

The 2030 agenda, although well-intentioned in its goals, is nothing more than a supranatural government program, socialist in nature,

which seeks to solve the problems of modernity with solutions that violate the sovereignty of nation-states and violates people's right to life, liberty, and property.

It is an agenda that pretends to solve poverty, inequality, and discrimination with legislation that will only deepen those problems.

Because world history shows us the only way to guarantee prosperity is by limiting the power of the monarch, guaranteeing equality before the law, and defending the right to life, liberty, and the property of individuals.

Does this sound like a founding father?

It has been precisely the adoption of this agenda, which obeys privileged interests, the abandonment of the principles outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in the United Nations, that has distorted this role of this institution and put it on the wrong path.

Thus, we have seen how an organization born to defend the rights of man has been one of the main proponents of the systematic violation of freedom, as for example with the global quarantines during the year 2020, which should be considered a crime against humanity.

In this same house that claims to defend human rights, they have allowed bloody dictatorships such as Cuba and Venezuela to join the Human Rights Council without the slightest reproach.

In this same house that claims to defend women's rights, they allow countries that punish their women for showing their skin to join the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women.

In this same House, systematically, they have voted against the state of Israel, which is the only country in the Middle East that defends liberal democracy while simultaneously demonstrating a total inability to respond to the scourge of terrorism.

In the economic sphere, collectivist policies have been promoted that threaten economic growth, violate property rights, hinder the natural economic process, preventing the most underprivileged countries in the world from freely enjoying their own resources in order to move forward.

Regulations and prohibitions promoted precisely by the countries that developed thanks to doing the same thing they condemn today.

Moreover, a toxic relationship has been promoted between

global governance policies and international lending agencies, requiring the most neglected countries to commit resources they do not have

to programs they do not need, turning them into perpetual debtors to promote the agenda of the global elites.

Nor has the tutelage of the World Economic Forum helped, where the ridiculous policies are promoted with Malthusian blinders on, such as zero-emission policies, which harm poor countries in particular, to policies linked to sexual and reproductive rights.

When the birth rate in Western countries is plummeting, heralding a bleak future for all, nor has the organization satisfactorily fulfilled its mission of defending the territorial sovereignty of its members, as we Argentines know first hand in a relation with the Maldivian islands.

We now have even reached a situation in which the Security Council, which is the most important organ of this House, has become distorted because of the veto of its permanent members, members, has begun to be used in defense of particular interests of some.

Thus we are today with an organization that is powerless to provide solutions to the real global conflicts, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has already cost the lives of more than 300,000 people, leaving a trail of more than 1 million wounded in the process.

An organization that, instead of confronting these conflicts, invests time and effort into imposing on poor countries what and how they should produce, with whom they should associate, and what they should eat, what they should believe in, as the present pact for the future intends to dictate.

This long list of errors and contradictions has not been gratuitous, but has resulted in the loss of credibility of the United Nations in the eyes of the citizens of the free world in the denaturalization of its functions.

I therefore would like to issue a warning.

Listen to this.

We are at the end of a cycle.

Collectivism and moral posturing of the woke agenda have collided with reality and no longer have credible solutions to offer to the world's real problems.

In fact, they never had them.

If the 2030 agenda failed, as its own promoters acknowledge, the answer should be to ask ourselves if it was not an ill-conceived program to begin with.

Accept that reality and change course.

We cannot pretend to persist in the mistake by redoubling on a bet on an agenda that has failed.

The same thing always happens with ideas coming from the left.

They design a model according to what human beings should be, according to them, and when individuals freely act otherwise, they have no better solution than to restrict, repress, and restrict their freedom.

We in Argentina have already seen with our own eyes what lies at the end of this road of envy and sad passions, poverty, brutalization, anarchy, and a fatal absence of freedom.

We still have time to turn away from this course.

I want to be clear about something so there are no misinterpretations.

Argentina, which is undergoing a profound process of change, has decided to embrace the ideas of freedom, those ideas that say all citizens are born free and equal before the law, that we have inalienable rights granted by the Creator.

Among them are the right to life, liberty, and property.

Those principles which guide the process of change that we are carrying out in Argentina are the principles that will guide our international conduct from now on.

We believe in the defense of life for all.

We believe in the defense of property for all.

We believe in freedom of speech for all.

We believe in the freedom of worship for all.

We believe in the freedom of commerce for all.

And we believe in limited governments, all of them.

And because in these times what happens in one country quickly impacts the others, we believe all peoples should live free from tyranny and oppression, whether it takes the form of political oppression, economic slavery, or religious fanaticism.

That fundamental idea must not remain mere words.

It must be supported in deeds, diplomatically, economically, material,

through the combined strength of all countries which stand for freedom.

This doctrine of the new Argentina is no more and no less than the true essence of the United Nations organization, that is, the cooperation of the United Nations in defense of freedom.

If the United Nations decides to retake the principles that gave it life and adapt it again to the role for which it was conceived, you can count on the unwavering support of Argentina in the struggle for freedom.

You should also know that Argentina will not support any policy that implies the restriction of individual freedoms of trade, the violation of natural rights of individuals, no matter who promotes it or how much consensus that institution has.

For this reason, we wish to express officially our dissent on the Pact of the Future signed on Sunday, and we invite all of the nations of the free world to join us, not only in dissenting from this pact, but also in the creation of a new agenda for this noble institution, the agenda of freedom.

From this day on, know that the Argentine Republic will abandon the position of historical neutrality that characterized us and will be at the forefront of the struggle in the defense of freedom.

Because, as Thomas Paine said, those who wish to reap the blessings of freedom must, as men, endure the fatigue of defending it.

May God bless the Argentines and the citizens of the world and the forces of heaven.

May they be with us.

Long live freedom.

Damn it.

How great is that?

I mean, this guy is quoting our Declaration of Independence and throwing it in our face.

The Declaration of Independence and Thomas Paine, all of our founding principles.

And he is saying, and look at Argentina, it is turning around.

And he's saying, this has to be done because this Agenda 2030, this new pact for the future, which the United States

passed, signed, excited about,

he said

it is going to cripple the entire world.

And he's right.

You want second citizenship.

Maybe Argentina is the place to get second citizenship.

So the question is just how long he's going to be there.

That would be my only concern because he seems to be promoting all of the right things and abandoning a historical precedent of

neutrality, historical neutrality.

That's a big

change.

Does he have enough people

to support him?

And not only that, but also

can he grow that and teach that to so many others?

I mean,

we had all of our founders in a row, and we started from scratch.

And it took about 20 years to really screw it up.

Part of the reason why I think it's possible is because he's loud.

Right?

Like, I think part maybe one of the problems we've faced over the past

hundred years or so is like, hey, we're obviously the most successful country.

Everything's working really well.

We all know it's because of capitalism and freedom.

Everyone else should know it too.

And over time, you know, with exceptions, right?

Like, you know, certainly you'd say Reagan was an exception to this, someone who really loudly spoke for the benefits of these.

Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is loud defender of property and freedom and individual and yeah he's just more he's still active so I'm thinking more of a historical context

but like I think as with Malay if he becomes if this if he's able to set this country on on this path and make it obvious what is why it's succeeding yes throughout and

definitely another addition to this and still up for debate, but if it succeeds, which so far it really is, but it's it's short term.

We don't, we don't know for sure.

If it succeeds long term, I think there could be a really major change in the world.

Yeah, there could be.

All you need is one spark.

You know, the one thing that stuck out to me in

his speech was one of the last paragraphs.

As Thomas Paine said, those who wish to reap the blessings of freedom must, as men, endure the fatigue of defending it.

How many people do we know say, I'm just tired.

I'm just worn out.

I just don't want to look at it anymore.

Remember that line.

Those who wish to reap the blessings of freedom must, as men, endure the fatigue of defending it.

So let me ask you a question.

How many days a week do you wake up feeling like somebody stuck a brick in a sock and bitch and beat you with it overnight?

How many times during the day do you bend over to reach for something and then go, nope, you know, it's going to live there on the floor for a while?

One more question.

What would you give to not go through these things?

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 our disease.

The 100% drug-free

solution here was developed by doctors and it will help reduce or eliminate pain.

Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's Quick Start, which is 1995.

70% of them have gone on to order it again.

So give it a try.

Three-week quick start.

Take it for three weeks.

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

Try it and see if it can help turn back the clock on pain for you as it did me.

So, you know, it's really, truly amazing on

hearing a politician speak like that at the United Nations and then have an interview with the person that wants to be the leader of the free world.

And

she says, well, let's try this on affordable housing, cut three.

Some of the work is going to be through what we do in terms of giving benefits and assistance to state and local governments around transit dollars and looking holistically at the connection between that and housing and looking holistically at the incentives we in the federal government can create for local and state governments to actually engage in planning in a holistic manner that includes prioritizing affordable housing.

Now how would you holistically,

Glenn, I'm not sure what she's saying there at all because

are you holistically married to that point?

Well, I mean holistically.

I'm holistically married to their dreams and aspirations.

I'll tell you that much because people have dreams and aspirations.

And I will tell you that holistically, I grew up in a, you know, in an everyday, average

middle-class household.

Wow, middle class.

Yeah.

And holistically, that means that you really, your dreams and aspirations were to holistically get out of that middle class.

But here she is

again

on MSNBC.

She did an interview with a very, very friendly

reporter.

Someone asked me, me, texted me right after that, did they make out before or after the interview?

I know, it's crazy.

That's what it looked like they were about to do.

They looked at, I want someone in my life who looks at me like Stephanie Rule looks at Kamala Harris.

That just loving dedication.

It was incredible.

Okay, so here she is on taxes.

Expanding that child tax credit, or you mentioned housing before, giving that extra money for a first home.

If you can't raise corporate taxes or if GOP takes control of the Senate, where do you get the money to do that?

Do you still go forward with those plans and borrow?

Well, but we're going to have to raise corporate taxes and we're going to have to raise

sure that the biggest corporations and

billionaires pay their fair share.

That's just it.

It's about paying their fair share.

But wait, I am not mad at anyone for achieving success, but everyone should pay their fair share.

And it is not right that the teachers and the firefighters that I meet every day across our country are paying a higher tax than the richest people in our country.

You've been in office for four years.

You have no idea.

I mean, first of all, this person is an idiot.

Can we just be honest about this?

Like, this is, she's a moron.

She can remember about three things at a time.

You know, holistically, middle class, dreams, and aspirations.

Outside of that, she didn't say much at all in that interview.

And like, like, the question here is so, it's so easy.

It's such an easy softball.

But basically, she's just saying like, hey, if the Republic, those evil Republicans block you, what do you do?

And she says, well, we're going to do it.

Well, you've had four years of time to do this and you didn't do it.

By the way, did you hear Joe Biden say he's basically turned over the entire presidency to her?

Do you hear that?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, yeah.

So that makes that even stronger.

Why aren't you doing it now?

Oh, that should be in every ad for Donald Trump.

You are the president.

Effectively, he said yesterday he's turned over most of his responsibilities to her.

Crazy.

Glenn Beck.

Thursday Night Football is tonight.

Big NFC East matchup between two equal teams, two teams with equal talent.

The one in two, equal records as well.

One in two New York Giants and the one in two Dallas Cowboys.

Now, tonight you can go on prize picks and have a blast watching this game because I will be.

I'll be really interested to see who loses this one.

And you can do things like with Prize Picks, you know, the number one daily fantasy sports app.

You can go and you can pick a couple of squares, more or less, of certain amount of stats.

I would just recommend right now, Dak Prescott over his passing yardage.

Why?

He's the ultimate garbage-time quarterback.

At any point, whether they're up 30 or down 30, they'll just keep throwing it to get him as much stats as possible.

And so why not go over every single time with Dak Prescott?

That's just my potential cowboy hating opinion.

I will say, you'll have lots of fun with prize picks, no matter how bad the game is.

Prize picks makes it enjoyable.

Hey, tonight, a brand new podcast with the one, the only Roseanne Barr.

You don't want to miss that.

Oh, wow.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Pat Gray is with us.

Hello, Pat.

Hello, Glenn.

I'm concerned.

You're concerned?

I'm concerned a little bit.

What are you concerned about?

This morning?

A little bit pissed off.

Stupid.

Thank you for asking.

Several things, but one of the things that it's top of mind today is George Soros' takeover of 200 radio stations from Odyssey.

That used to be a problem for Democrats.

Anybody remember that?

When

Barack Obama was talking about how...

Well, these people buy it up stations like Clear Channel.

Yeah.

I mean, I.

Rupert Murdoch.

what glenn you you seem to

know it sounds like rainfall yeah it's rainfall have you seen that new app calm calm the calm app where it says you fall asleep to rainfall or something yeah you put natural sounds on it supposed to you know so i thought maybe oh it's gonna calm me down it would calm you down a little bit i thought i thought we should try this because every day we get a little

we get a little upset how's it working are you i'm not feeling very calm all right maybe i have the wrong one yeah about this one

Got a train?

Not sure what that one is.

Okay, now I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Oh, really?

I'm over it.

That works, right?

I think this is like a pioneer wagon.

Okay.

And so now you should go like, wow, it could be worse.

Could be much worse.

So instead of worrying about George Soros plying up 200 radio stations, we worry about...

The pioneer wagon.

Yeah.

That we're being eaten by wolves.

Yeah, I'm not sure what.

In the West.

Yeah.

Okay.

How did that work?

Now you feel better.

I'm fine now.

Fine.

I'm not worried about any of it.

I don't.

You're not.

No.

Not the fact that he's...

George Soros is going to own 200 radios.

So you're not worried about that.

No, but Pat,

let me say this.

Yeah.

Okay.

It's not his political arm that's buying it.

It's his investment arm.

Oh, yeah.

Well, now I'm even better.

I don't even need the waiting train.

Wait, wait.

Okay.

It's his political arm.

Oh.

His political arm or is an investment arm?

I mean, yeah, his investment arm.

His political arm had nothing to do with it.

That's why they dropped the mandatory six-month review period.

Yes, because they trust him.

Yeah.

Well, why wouldn't you?

Are you an anti-Semite?

Why wouldn't you?

Is that what's happening?

I didn't even mention his

Jewishness.

Well,

lack thereof.

He's actually an atheist, from what I understand.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But

I know he has heritage.

And we've talked about that heritage in the past.

Someone commented on this whole takeover that

the idea that George Soros will leave all these conservatives on the air is not credible.

It will not happen.

I feel like

that's a good summary of it.

I think there's 200 stations, and supposedly 40 of them have

this show, the Glenn Beck program, on.

Or Clinton.

Sean Hannity and Mark Levin.

Dana Lash.

Yeah, Dana Lash.

I wonder what's going on with it.

It will be fascinating to see because it's only as an investment arm.

So they'll probably say these are good shows that bring in lots of money and we want to keep them on the air we are the right we are the most successful highest billing uh show on radio we there you go we have our we have had no blip in anything and that's very

very unusual very unusual so the last show you would want to cancel is the one that is making your investment arm you know what i mean yeah money and these stations have you know lots of shows that i'm sure are very successful but also say things like they want lower taxes and don't want boys to play on girls'

volleyball teams and spike balls into their heads.

Right.

Or, you know, boys that want to play as girls.

No.

That was what I was going for.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I know it's fascinating.

I don't know if that's going to

think as an investment.

He's such a good investor.

I saw his son's house, which is probably the most incredible penthouse I've ever seen in my life when Tim Walls, the guy who goes fishing, came over there.

I assume they went over to the pond in Central Park right after.

You mean Coach Walls?

Coach Waltz.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Some people.

I was confused for a minute about what walls you were talking about.

Yes,

Coach Walls.

He's known for his football coaching and his teaching.

He's very folksy.

He is very folksy.

We are talking about the same guy.

He's like America's dad, isn't he?

Yes.

Yes.

That's kind of what he reminds me of.

Yeah.

America's communist dad.

If your dad was a communist and wanted to shove a tampon up your boy,

that's exactly

what he was.

Please vote for him.

This is your guy.

He was such a man of the people, so folksy, that he was there addressing a bunch of billionaires inside of Alex Soros' suite.

Yeah.

Which is just.

What's wrong with that?

Oh, nothing.

I just,

I'm concerned of what they might be hunting because he's such a hunter.

I don't know if you guys noticed.

What were they hunting inside of this penthouse?

Yeah, you.

That's what they were hunting.

You from the high ground.

They've got a very good open shot from

that elevation.

Yeah, yeah.

No,

there's nothing to worry about there.

Nothing to worry about there.

No, and we didn't even need the ambient sound

in order to reassure us.

We didn't even

need that one.

By the way,

there was something else that I wanted just to throw in.

Where is it?

Not the Kamala Harris thing.

There was a

shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.

The

I can't find it now.

The

way that

we are looking at an assassination, again, did you hear?

Let me play this.

Can we please play

COT

11, please?

Now, this was posted on the Ayatollah Khomeini's.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

This is pretty visual, but it's...

Yeah.

That looks like the wrong one.

It's the Ayatollah with the little drone.

There it is.

Go ahead.

Play that, please.

Okay, so this is

a drone shot of Mar-a-Lago.

And it shows Donald Trump on the golf course.

Through the woods.

And sort Sort of the same viewpoint that the assassin had.

Yeah.

Now, this little robot comes out and is going by Mar-a-Lago.

And then.

It neutralizes the camera.

Yep, they hack into the security system at Mar-a-Lago.

Yeah.

And then it targets Donald Trump.

Now, this is on the Ayatollah's website.

Right.

Now, this came out a couple of years ago.

But why this is important is

because they've known this the whole time.

Yeah.

The entire time.

And it's interesting that in this video, which, as you mentioned, came out two years ago, they used that same viewpoint that came out after the assassin was caught and they showed us where he was on the course.

That looks like it's the same place.

Yeah.

So.

So.

So what?

So, so

I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, right?

But could that be connected?

I don't know.

Could he be

back on the combat?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Nah, never mind.

I withdraw what I just said.

Oh, you did?

Yeah, I was.

Because you're just now feeling calm.

Right.

I'm not there yet.

Try the rain.

Maybe it's the rain that makes

you a little bit

more soothing.

Oh, yeah.

I can see it in your eyes now.

You're.

Oh yeah, I'm practically asleep.

I don't care.

Iran targeting our president.

Five assassin teams.

Whatever.

No big deal.

Whatever.

And the fact that the Secret Service is

not releasing any of the

information to Congress.

I'm sure it's not important information.

Right?

Nothing more soothing.

Yeah, nothing.

And when you think of Coach Tim Walls,

you hear this, I think, it's raining men.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

We turned this thing around.

Yeah, we had this.

This call map really works.

I like that.

Would you say that would you there's been two assassination stories over the past like week or so?

One was the guy who had called Mar-a-Lago and threatened to kill Donald Trump multiple times and got arrested.

Is that the guy from Idaho?

I believe so.

His last name is Crazy Bull.

Yes, five times.

No, nine times.

Nine times?

Yeah, nine times.

He's threatening Trump's life.

Wow.

And the guy named Crazy Bull.

Yes.

Okay.

And the other one was this story about Iran, which has happened.

We don't know exactly when it's happened.

There hasn't been an actual bullet fired at the guy, but we know that that was an active threat.

Do you count either of those as an assassination attempt?

Yes.

Okay.

But they didn't have.

Well, no, not the Crazy Bull guy.

You just think that's just a threat.

That's just a threat.

Assassination Bull.

The guy who was hiring

was over here and they caught him at the airport leaving.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Was that the guy you were talking about or is that another one?

I don't know if that's the guy I'm talking about.

But I will say that

maybe we could just state it this way.

It has been nine days since an act blue donor has tried to kill

the president of the United States.

Well, it's not a lifetime president.

No, nine, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.

We don't know if Iran has made an act blue donation.

I would assume they probably have.

Right, and they could have made it under another name.

That's true.

So we don't know for sure that it's been nine days.

Okay, that's sad.

So we don't.

This is not unfortunate.

No, no.

So, hey, does anybody care about the whole, hey, Iran hacked into the Donald Trump

campaign and then delivered

secret documents to the White House?

And the White House didn't really say anything about it?

I mean, is that...

Well, no, they didn't even open them.

Oh, they didn't open them.

I probably don't even know what's inside.

Oh, you know, they just reported that immediately to the FBI.

That's what happened.

How did they get those documents?

How did they get them?

They were delivered to them.

Like on Uber Eats.

They just showed up.

Really, yeah.

Why are you asking questions?

They don't have time to answer questions.

Mr.

President.

Mr.

President, Uber Eats from Iran.

And you might say, like, that doesn't seem like a particularly direct answer from us.

Right.

But, you know, these aren't direct things.

These aren't straight and things.

Thank you.

That's the thing you have to understand.

Where did I hear that?

Cut to.

Talk about that answer.

I do, but here's what's a little tricky.

She doesn't answer the question around if the GOP is controlling the Senate, if she can't raise corporate taxes, where is she going to get the money from?

You know, to expand the child tax credit and do all the things she wants to do.

And she says, we just have to do it.

And that's great, and that's a campaign promise but but the issue is if it means we're just going to borrow again then what we're doing is we're just never addressing the deficit and back in the days when you were a proud republican debts and deficits mattered huh there you go okay

but here's the thing she comes from a middle-class family so with america's communist dad right don't even ask me anything i don't have time to answer it all right so let me let me tell you about Simply Safe.

Oh, wait, I have a business proposal for Pat.

Oh, what?

What is it?

I mean, this is important.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Wait, wait, wait.

All right.

So have you seen my new robotic dog?

I have not.

You haven't seen it.

You talked about it when I was there.

Oh, it's healthy.

I have not seen it.

Oh, it's great.

It's incredible.

I posted it on my Twitter account.

It's a robotic dog, will you?

Get up.

I thought it was going to be at the ranch.

It is, but

it didn't arrive in time, so we're training it now.

Anyway,

I don't trust him yet,

you know, because,

well, he's a robot.

Are you feeding him rough greens?

No, I'm not.

No, I'm not.

However, if you don't have a robot dog, you should try SimplySafe, okay?

Award-winning top-of-the-line 24-7 protection.

Now, my robotic dog comes with a flamethrower.

SimplySafe doesn't do that.

If you own your own home, you know, do you like owning it or would you rather have it stolen from you?

I think most people would say I'd like to hold on to it, mainly because not only do you live there, but you also have equity.

You have equity in that home that can fund your retirement.

It can be your financial legacy.

Home title theft can take that all away from you.

It's been one of the fastest growing crimes in America for a while now, but also unfortunately one of the least known crimes.

And you do not want this happening to you and your family.

Which is why you need home title protection.

Think about it this way.

No one is watching out for your title.

Well, then it's really just a of time until one of these thieves targets you.

You're vulnerable, and this is happening.

This is real.

It's something that's going on with a lot of people, but you can do something about it.

Don't fall prey to these thieves.

Welcome.

So, Pat, we were talking about, you know, Kexie cookies,

mainly because we like Kexi cookies.

Where do you go to get those, Pat?

Kexi.com.

K-E-K, S-I.com.

Gonna have to charge you

next time you say kexi.com.

Okay, so Pat.

So you don't want me to say kexi.com.

Right, that's what I'm saying.

That's what I was charging.

That's what next time you say kexie.com.

So,

listen, we had an idea for you.

Okay.

So, we did the story today of this bakery that does the cookies for Kamala and for Trump.

Yeah, this is an Eddie place?

Yeah, and they sell cookies, and whoever wins, you know, they announce the winner, and it comes out every year.

It's always a story.

Yep.

And I was thinking that you should do something similar with Kexie cookies, in which you have a Donald Trump cookie.

It's like maybe, you know, peanut butter chocolate chip or something like that.

And then a Kamala Harris cookie, which is like liver and onions.

Vomit flavored.

Yeah, yeah.

No, see, I think you should actually do it sincerely.

Really?

I do.

I think you should do like

you should do the coconut tree.

Would you fall out of a coconut tree cookie?

Okay.

And make it like a kid.

Or just coconut and kale.

Maybe.

No, you'd actually.

Okay.

I like this because I've had the Kenxi cookie.

They have a couple of different varieties of coconut cookies.

They're my favorites.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hold it just a second.

See?

Now,

would you buy the coconut cookie if it was going to a vote?

No, I would be more likely to not buy it, which is not

a good business at all.

We're not trying to produce cookies that people don't want.

Right, except for the combo cookie.

The vomit cookie, and then you can release at the end who won.

And my guess would be like 97.8% Donald Trump.

And that would just be a normal poll.

You just take it.

You have to actually measure it.

It would be important.

And then when it turns out to be accurate, we just say this poll's never been wrong.

It has never been wrong.

Never been wrong.

That Cincinnati poll claims that they've correctly predicted every outcome except one since 1984.

Was it the last one?

Yes, it was.

Which leads people to, yeah, well, that's because it was stolen.

Oh, yeah.

Because you can't fake the cookie thing.

You can't fake the cookie thing.

No.

So the cookie thing is ironclad.

So there were some shenanigans last time.

Don't you really wish that the cookie thing was at least right in 2020?

Don't you just wish that was, you know, just give me something to hold on to.

Apparently not.

Nope.

Apparently not.

Nope.

Nope.

All right.

Back with more in a minute.

And, Pat, what was that website again?

I forgot.

I'm sorry.

I know you can't say it.

Kexi.com.

That's the one I'm not supposed to say.

Okay, I can make sure.com.

Protect yourself.

Don't say the websites you're not supposed to say, like kexie.com.

You shouldn't say that.

Stop right.

Stop right now.

No, I know.

No, that's what we're saying.

We're saying we should say kexie.com.

We're not using names on the air because we have the vake Ramaswamy on next.

The Vaik, my friend, it has been a while since we've had a chance to actually sit down and speak.

Welcome.

It's good to reconnect.

How you been, man?

I'm good.

How do you think things are going?

Look, I think the tide is changing in a favorable way.

For Trump, it's going really well.

I actually hosted a rally in Waukesha in Wisconsin yesterday.

I was at the University of Pittsburgh, an unconventional place for a Republican to go, but in the key state of Pennsylvania last week, I was in Springfield, Ohio, near my hometown.

Here's my sixth sense of it.

Okay, I think President Trump is actually doing well with great tailwinds.

I have greater concerns for the Senate candidates in some of these key states.

And so I think it is a distinct possibility we win the presidency without a majority in the Senate.

And I think that that would be just too bad because we can't actually fully govern.

And so one of the things I'm trying to do is to help a lot of those down ballot Senate and other candidates as well, put President Trump across the finish line, of course.

But we have an agenda to implement.

And this is about not just the next four years, but the next 250 years as a country.

And that also is why I put the book out this week.

And I want us to be ambitious about thinking beyond just this election about what we want to actually achieve.

And that, in some ways, is the point of this book as well.

So you've said the book twice.

Let me just try to teach this to all the authors.

Make sure you always use the name of the book instead of calling it the book.

That's why I put Truth's The Future of America First out this week.

You're a lot better at that.

Yeah.

Remember that.

Truth, the Future of America First.

Yeah, okay.

For a reason is we've got to speak hard truths to the left, but also to our own side, which we sometimes forget to do.

And I try to do both those things.

So give me some of those.

Give me one on each side.

Yeah, give me one on each side.

Perfect.

So the hard truth to the left is, for example, the climate change agenda is a hoax, and that is provocative to many on the left, but what I try to do is offer hard facts.

I give them one concession.

Are global surface temperatures going up?

Yes, they are.

Well, that opens up their mind to then listen to what you have to say next, which is that that may not be a bad thing for humanity.

In fact, eight times as many people die of cold temperatures rather than warm ones.

And the truth is, they used to be concerned about an ice age rather than being concerned about global warming as recently as the 1970s.

So those are the kinds of hard truths on climate religion, on transgender religion, on racial ideology that I speak to the left.

However, to our own side, here's also a hard truth that I think we need to remember.

We don't want to replace the left-wing nanny state with a right-wing nanny state.

And the truth is, even as Kamal Harris is proposing price controls, We don't like to admit it, Glenn, but there are Republican U.S.

senators and congressmen that have proposed price controls in other sectors as well.

And I don't like that either.

I hate it.

So my answer, the hard medicine for the right in this book is we don't want to replace that left-wing nanny state with the right-wing nanny state.

We want to get in there and shut it down.

And that's also a core thesis of this book.

So did you see Javier Millay's speech at the UN yesterday by any chance?

I did, actually.

Yeah.

Yes.

He's talking about kind of the same kind of things.

I mean, you know, he's directly quoting our Constitution, our founding fathers, and the Declaration.

I mean,

the world is at a crossroads right now.

That's right.

And then what hope does the rest of the world have if America itself abandons our own founding principles?

You know, one of the chapters as well that I write about is actually about our own history.

We've forgotten that sense of history.

It was actually Malcolm X who famously said that a nation without history is like a tree without roots.

It's dead.

And in some ways, that's what I try to do also.

And in truth, I talk a lot about parts of American history and our Constitution and our founding culture that I think we need to revive and that young people in particular, Glenn, are hungry for.

I told you I went to the University of Pittsburgh last week.

It's supposedly a left of center campus.

But what I actually see is a lot of young people who are just hungry for something new, to be part of something bigger.

And it's staring you in the face.

It's our country.

It's America right here at home.

And I think that that's where it's given hope to people like Javier Malay in Argentina.

We've given him inspiration.

In turn, I think we need to bring Javier Malay-style governance, not steroids to the United States of America, and that's something I'm intent on.

So, you know, speaking of things that are truths that are hard for our side,

one of your chapters deals with the three branches of government, not four.

But

we look at the third branch, the executive branch,

you know, as this all-powerful branch.

It cannot be.

It cannot be.

We have got to shut so much of that administration branch down, fire, and close

so much of this.

And you've got a lot of Republicans who are like, no, use it, use it, use it.

No, that's really dangerous.

Glenn, I'm glad you said that because this is the defining debate in the conservative movement right now.

And we ought to have it.

And there's good people on the other side of it who you and I respect, but nonetheless, who you and I also disagree with.

That is the most important chapter in this book.

If you guys buy truths, read one chapter of it alone.

Let it be that branch on the chapter on the administrative state we don't want to use the left-wing regulatory state to achieve conservative goals we want to take agencies from the CFPB to the SEC to the FTC to the FBA and constrain their scope massively shut down agencies like the U.S.

Department of Education countless others that should not exist and return that to the states where it belongs.

So it's not just the concentration of executive power, Glenn, which I agree with you on, but it's the concentration of power in the federal government where it wasn't supposed to actually reside in the first place, instead being returned to the states and to the people.

Now, the publisher and my advisors, I got to tell you, my political advisors are the same way when I ran for president.

They say, don't talk about the stuff that bores people.

So one of the things I try to do in this chapter, in the book, is...

You know, it's the stuff that's the most boring that's often the most important.

But I went out of my way in this chapter to try to bring to life how that administrative state, how that bureaucratic, deep state actually has an impact on the lives of everyday Americans on the left and on the right.

And the goal with this book is to equip everyday Americans who agree with you and I to be able to make these points at the dinner table to their friends on the left.

That was my favorite part of the campaign is, you know, we can dunk on the left, we can defeat the left.

I did that during the media interactions I had during my campaign.

But my favorite parts of the presidential campaign were where we were actually able to persuade people on the left and bring them along.

And I've gotten questions from a lot of Americans, how do I do that at home?

That's exactly what this book is a toolkit to arm them, to be able to achieve.

And that's what we need to save the country.

So give me that argument.

You're sitting at

the dinner table with a relative, and you

somehow or another come across the

deep state, which is the administrative state.

Make that case to me.

I'm a liberal.

So look, here's what I would say.

If you and I may disagree on policy, but let's agree on this, this, is that the people we elect to run the government ought to be the ones who actually run the government.

And if it's your side that wins or your policies that win, I agree to abide by them.

If it's my policies that win, you agree to abide by them.

But today, 99% of the laws, they call them rules, but 99% of the effective laws in the country are not even passed by Congress.

They're passed by three-letter agencies.

And there's a story in the book of a fisherman who was put out of business by cumbersome regulations imposed by the EPA and other agencies and Fish and Wildlife Services that effectively required him to pay money that he didn't have in order to actually just be a fisherman in the country.

And you know what?

Congress never passed that law.

So ordinarily, if that's a bad rule and a fisherman's being put out of business, well, people could vote their congressman out.

But this time, you could vote your congressman out as many times as you want.

That would still be the law of the land because it was a bureaucrat who could not be fired who wrote that into law.

So we give countless examples of small business owners, everyday Americans, who have been harmed, who have been put out of business by laws that were never passed by Congress.

And I think that's something that people on the left and the right can both jointly agree on.

And I've seen that, you know, many of our friends on the left, you got to, one of the things we can do better, I think, in making the arguments is let's ourselves state the best possible argument they can make.

Let's state it first and then pick it apart.

What is their best argument?

What's their best argument on that?

Their best argument on that is that, well, we the people sometimes can't be trusted.

Okay, they would say that if left to our own devices, we're going to burn the planet so hot that humanity would cease to exist.

And what I reveal in the book is you've got to study history.

That was actually the argument of the old world.

I mean, King George in England, it wasn't that he looked down on us or wanted what was bad for America.

He thought of you as the subjects.

It was his benevolence.

to say that you the people can't be trusted to self-govern.

I'm going to do it for you, for your own good.

That's the premise behind the administrative state.

And so the American bargain is that for better or for worse, and we've got to admit, sometimes we'll get it wrong, but for better or for worse, we the people, this create a government that's accountable to us, not the other way around.

And that is the American way.

You know, Tim Walls likes to call Republicans weird.

Well, you know what?

There's one response to that is America, in the course of human history, is a little weird because most of human history did it the other way, but we're proud of that.

And that's what made America great the first time, and that's what makes America great again.

And that's one of the theses of that chapter of the book.

Of which book?

Of the book that I did.

Truth, the future of America.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That's right.

It's actually top, it's number one on Amazon as of yesterday.

So

I'm already reading it.

What is?

Truth, the Future of America.

Good.

And I hope everybody here reads it.

I appreciate it, Glenn.

All right.

So make this case to those on the left, I'm sorry, on the right that say, you know, this was, we all know this country was made for immoral and religious people, and our founders said it's wholly inadequate for people who are not.

We're just not that way.

We need the big state to force people back into,

you know, decency, et cetera, et cetera.

Yeah, so this is a temptation we face right now.

First of all, the same shoe will then fit the other foot.

We've seen that time again, that once you create the vectors for government control, we may believe today that we're using the levers of the bureaucracy to advance good conservative goals.

Well, there will be, like it or not, in the next 20 years, there's going to be another Democrat elected.

And once that precedent exists, that's how they use that to really advance religion.

Not the religions that you and I have in mind, Glenn.

Yeah, but we believe.

But religions like wokeism and transgenderism and climatism.

We have to fight fire with fire, Vivek.

So I believe that water is more effective.

That's what I believe.

I've always found that you put out a fire much more effectively with water.

And there's a time.

You've got to be a fighter.

And you saw me during the presidential campaign.

I'm not afraid to be a fighter.

But you also have to be strong enough to protect the thing you're actually fighting for.

Otherwise, you know,

this is how a nation ends.

Elliott once said, right?

Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

And I think that I worry.

that if we adopt the methods of the left, we're not going to defeat the left.

We're going to become them in the right.

Amen.

And that's what I favorite.

That's a wake-up call to the conservative movement in the book.

The book is called Truths, the Future of America First.

Well, there's two directions for the future of America First.

One could be the direction of using the administrative state and the bureaucracy and the nanny state to achieve pro-conservative ends.

That's tempting.

Avoid that temptation and take the right road envisioned by our founders from day one.

Get in there and dismantle that nanny state, shut down that bureaucratic state so we, the people, actually govern our country again.

That's how we save a country for the long run, not just for tomorrow.

So we'll come back with Vake in 60 seconds.

We have more to talk to him about.

His new book is called Truth, the Future of America First.

I want to know why America First is important, because that's racist, you know.

We'll get into that in just a second.

God willing, the two-front war that Israel has been forced into will be over soon.

But in the meantime, rockets continue to fly.

These are massive, massive numbers of Israelis that have been forced out of their homes for their own protection.

They're basically refugees inside their own country.

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is partnering with over 230 churches and organizations across America for what's known as flags of fellowship.

They're going to plant Israeli flags to remember the over 1,200 victims of October 7th.

More importantly, they're providing emergency food and basic supplies for the evacuated Israeli families who are now trying to survive.

This is where you can get involved.

Today, I'm asking for 1,200 of my listeners to make a gift of $100 to help provide emergency food boxes for displaced families in Israel.

They need our support now more than ever.

Join me in letting the world know that people like you stand with Israel.

Call and make your gift right now at 888-488-IFCJ.

That's 888-488-4325.

Or go online to supportifcj.org to give.

That's one word, supportifcj.org.

10 seconds, station ID.

So let's talk just about America first.

You know, America first

has become this bad phrase, and I don't agree with it at all, but I'd like you to make the case that it's actually good.

So

this is a core premise of the book here, and there's two parts to America First.

What does it mean?

We use this phrase a lot.

What does it mean to be America First?

I think it means two things.

One is the people we elect to run the government are the ones who actually run the government.

But number two is that those elected leaders owe their first and sole moral duty to the citizens of this nation, not any other one.

And I don't think that should be controversial, but the fact that it is tells you, I think, how far we've fallen.

Now, going the counterargument to this, as I said, one of the things I try to do throughout this book also is let's get the best argument for the other side on the table.

The counter argument, and I think some Republicans agree with this too, is it is our responsibility to the rest of the world, as the leading nation in the world, as the shining city on a hill, to make sure we're not just looking after the interests of our own citizens, but also to looking after broader global objectives as well.

And I understand that argument, but what hope does the rest of the world have if the shining city on a hill no longer still shines here at home?

And the best example I give there is when you think about our foreign policy, we could have all the debates we want that you can only have a strong foreign policy if you have a strong military here at home.

And I think that's one thing we can agree on is rebuilding our military is a core objective.

regardless of where you fall on different areas of foreign interventionism.

And that, too, is probably one of the best America-first policies policies that actually we can unite on first is rebuilding our military at a moment where we have a 25% recruitment deficit in our military.

Trace the root cause of that is a deficit of national pride.

And that's what America First is really about is reviving that sense of identity and pride in our country.

So

I look at America First as, you know, if we want to be a lifeboat for everybody else, we cannot swamp the boat.

We need to be the strongest lifeboat that we can be

and help people as we can.

But we have to take care of our ship first.

You know, that's why open borders is so bad,

because we're just going to, we're swamping ourselves.

How long can we do this, Vivek, before we sink?

Well, there's old expressions, right?

Charity begins at home.

There's the expression on an airplane.

Put on your own oxygen mask before helping the person near you.

Because if you don't do that, neither of you is going to get the oxygen

on the airplane.

Well, the same thing goes for the United States of America.

And actually, you know, just because it's out this week, I'm talking expressly about it.

The book is Truth's The Future of America First.

And I'll say one of the chapters in the book at your coaching, Glenn.

But one of the things that I would say is

the things I'm saying here, they would have been obvious 20 years ago.

So obvious that I would tell you, save your money, don't buy the book.

Today, they're controversial to say in public.

One of the chapters is called An Open Border Is Not a Border.

That sounds obvious.

But one of the deeper questions to ask is, is there some kind of immigration that helps America?

Of course, there's good kinds of immigration that can help America.

I would know.

I'm the kid of legal immigrants to this country.

But what does our immigration system reward today in the year 2024?

Does it reward people who are going to make economic contributions to America?

Does it reward people who know the civic history of America?

No.

The number one factor, and this is a hard truth in this book, and it is unambiguous, the number one human factor that our current immigration system rewards is your willingness to lie upon entry.

And I know that sounds harsh, but that is literally the factor.

The single factor, it's not your industriousness, it's not how good you are at math, it's not how much you know about the history of the United States or how well you speak English.

None of those factors are what's rewarded.

What's rewarded is: are you willing or not to lie to the U.S.

government in order to get into this country?

In other words,

you go and say, I am

a refugee.

Yep.

Right.

And that is the number one factor that's rewarded.

So think about it, you get what you incentivize.

The very people who are bringing to the country, the people who are honest, the people who are saying, no, I can't quite say in good conscience that I am the victim of religious or political persecution in my home country and I face imminent risk of harm.

Now, I can't check that box in good conscience, but I do want to come to the United States of America because I love the country.

I know the history.

I know English, and I'm going to make contributions.

Those aren't the people getting in.

In fact, those are the people we keep out.

The people getting in are the ones who are lying about it.

And that's part of what I try to lift the curtain on and expose in this book so we can convince our friends on the left of it as well.

And the name of the book is Truths, the Future of America First.

More in a minute.

Glenn Beck.

You know, good sleep is one of the key ingredients to a successful day.

And if you're not getting a good sleep pretty regularly, your whole day can end up feeling like a never-ending slog through thick mud.

What's worse is that a lot of times the stuff that you take to help sleep better makes you feel the same way the next day.

Wouldn't it be nice just to be able to take something that lets you relax when your head hits the pillow at night?

Thankfully, there is something called Z Factor, and it comes from the makers of Relief Factor.

Vivek Ramaswamy is with us.

He is the author of a new book that came out this week, Truths, the Future of America First.

And in it, he talks about several truths on both sides that everybody needs to be aware of.

One of the chapters, Vivek, is facts are not conspiracies.

Let's talk about that for a second, shall we?

Sure.

Yeah, absolutely.

It is a very effective tool used originally by the CIA to throw people off and make sure that nobody follows because nobody wants to be a conspiracy theorist.

But there is a difference between a theory and a fact.

Explain.

Right.

So look, a hard fact is, first of all, getting to the root cause based on evidence.

So talk about COVID-19.

The origin of COVID-19, and I was dismissed personally as a conspiracy theorist when I first said it, began in a lab in China.

But what did they use?

They used the description of that as a conspiracy theory to actually obfuscate the actual truth.

Now, why is that bad?

They know the truth is eventually going to come out.

This is one of the things I reveal in this chapter.

It's not their hope that

it's never going to come out.

The truth, as the old expression goes, it's like a lion.

It can't be held back.

It can only be held back for so long.

But what their hope is, is that it comes out at a window of time where it's no longer relevant to take action.

And see, that's, I think, the objective here.

And why are they doing it?

It's actually not because they don't like you.

It's because they think you can't handle the truth.

They think that's actually better for you.

So whether that was the origin of COVID-19, whether you think about even one of the things I said from the Republican debate stage last year, again, they call me a conspiracy theorist for saying it, was that Biden would not be the nominee.

We have to follow the facts and follow the incentives.

So I come from the investment world as my first career before I went into, you started companies.

And one of the things you do in the investment world is you analyze incentives.

And the incentives point you in a given direction.

That's how you make predictions.

That doesn't mean you're always going to be right.

But in the same thing in the the realm of public policy or in the realm of our culture, follow the incentives.

And the amalgam of those incentives points you to some controversial conclusions, like the fact that bringing in tens of millions of illegals into this country is a way that works to the incentives of the Democratic Party to secure lasting electoral majorities in the long run.

Then you go back to even 2012, where many Democratic strategists were arguing for this.

as a favorable policy.

Again, that's not a conspiracy theory.

That is a description of factual incentives that actually have played out exactly the way we predict.

And so that's one of the things I try to do in this book is to go into some really, really controversial areas, right?

Even some of the facts surrounding the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot in Michigan that resulted in multiple acquittals for entrapment.

People forget about the ultimate conclusion.

They just remember the original headline.

that that's a really controversial subject you're not supposed to talk about.

I expose that and take them on head-on in this chapter of the book to say that when you're grounded in hard facts, it's not a conspiracy.

Now, what is a conspiracy saying we didn't land on the moon?

The moon landing isn't real.

Well, that's not grounded in fact, right?

That's not helpful.

Versus when it's grounded in hard facts, don't be afraid to stand your ground.

And that's the distinction I draw here.

So here is the here's the problem.

By doing this, and I think it was really, the first time I ever saw it really in action was with Bill Clinton

and, you know, the Monica Lewinsky thing.

I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't.

Okay, I did, but it didn't matter.

That's how they run everything now.

That's not true, that's not true.

Conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory.

Okay, so it's true, but it doesn't matter.

Everything is done that way.

And it allows them to have time to be able to

move the agenda further and further.

And then when it's out, they no longer have to deal with that one, but it leaves a lasting scar.

If you would just go back through all of the things that people hate Trump for, now

I can't help you on his tweets, can't help you on the way he speaks, but he wasn't a Russian operative.

He called for the people of the National Guard on January 3rd.

Then he did it again on the 6th.

The things that he gets nailed for

are conspiracy truths and facts, but it doesn't change it.

And they never go back to their audience and say, oh, you know what?

We were wrong about that.

None of it.

Right.

It's a consistent pattern.

And so one of the things I reveal in this chapter of the book is usually

an orchestrated description.

The book is the truth, the future of America first.

Yeah, okay, good.

Yeah.

And this is one of the key chapters in the book.

is one of the things that they actually do is usually when they're describing it as a conspiracy theory, that usually actually involves a conspiracy to create that smokescreen, like the Hunter Biden laptop, right?

The Hunter Biden laptop being real wasn't a conspiracy.

The conspiracy was the plot to dismiss it as Russian disinformation.

It wasn't a conspiracy that Trump had with Russians to somehow be a Manchurian candidate.

The conspiracy was to create the appearance of that.

The other thing, Glenn, is it's grounded in even our own declassification procedures.

And I talk about this in the chapter as well.

And again, the goal here is this is not a left-wing or a right-wing point.

You've actually had J.

Edgar Hoover's FBI that used this against left-leaning charges, against Martin Luther King back in the 60s.

And so part of the point of this book, Truths, is to arm people on the right to be able to win over their friends on the left.

These are some points that I reveal in that chapter where the reason the declassification timelines are so long, right, 50, 60 years before they declassify those files, is exactly what you said.

By the time it comes out, the agenda has already moved such that it's moot by the time they release it.

And so in some ways, this has been institutionalized.

The idea of, okay, dismiss it as a conspiracy theory.

Sixty years later, after I'm dead and gone, after the policies have already been enacted, the public of a different generation can see it, but they don't really care at any particular point in time.

And so the goal of this chapter in this book more generally is to not be a partisan screed.

I don't think that's helpful.

But to sort of be educational in a way that allows us to reach our friends on the left, even on neutral terms.

And if you look through history, a lot of the tools that are being weaponized against conservatives today were actually even in the 60s weaponized against the left at other points in American history.

And that's why we're able to see it and, you know, talk about truth.

So it's the title of the book.

It applies in all directions.

So let me switch gears here with you.

I have heard this about you, and I heard this about J.D.

Vance,

that

these guys are actually

subversive.

They're coming in from Silicon Valley, and they're just planting the Silicon Valley seeds deeply into the Republicans like it was into the into the Democrats, and it's going to be the same agenda.

How do you respond to that?

Well, look, I think that

for fact, what I actually have been doing, I mean, I voted libertarian in my first election back in 2004.

I think most people, when I was in college at Harvard, and Harvard is not a bastion of conservatism, but I think most of my peers would tell you I was probably one of the lone voices loudly proclaiming conservative leading truths, even to my peers.

And I would say I got a better education because of it, Glenn, because I was surrounded by people who generally disagreed with me.

What I'm actually doing in some ways the reverse is planting our own, I don't even call them conservative, but pro-American ideals in places like Silicon Valley.

If you look over the course of the last year, and I don't want to, you know, I'm not patting myself on the back, I'm offering people a toolkit to say we got to talk to the people who disagree with us.

Many of the Silicon Valley billionaires have really changed their tune.

And I know many of those were a direct result of multiple personal conversations I had over the course of last year and the last several years as a presidential candidate, that's what we're going to need to win the country back.

It's going to have to be bottom-up as well as top-down in different areas of our culture.

And we're not going to do it if we just stay within our own echo chambers.

And so my goal with this is you can't ignore the left, you can't, and you don't just want to defeat, you know, people who disagree with you.

I do that when necessary.

But part of what we would do is we want to win them over.

And I think that's exactly how we get our country back, not just by talking to the people who agree with us.

That is the the core premise of this book.

This project is you can defeat the left and you can dunk on the left and own the libs.

This book, Truths, this is not an own the libs book.

This is a win the country back,

including by bringing along some of the people who think they disagree with us.

Some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley, and I don't want to name them for the purpose of

because the goal is not to embarrass anybody, but some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley, multi-billionaires, those successful companies thought as recently as last year or a year ago, they were two ago, that they were on the left.

And I could say that it is a direct function of the conversations that I've had with them, that I think that they've at least rethought their positions and may call themselves libertarians or independents, and they're coming around to vote for Trump this time around.

That's what we need.

And so to people will say, well, is he, you know, hobnobbing with the elites?

Well, you know what?

In some sense, I wasn't born as an elite, but I did live the American dream, and I went to Harvard and Yale, and I've founded multi-billion dollar companies.

I want to use that to help save our country rather than what some people like to do is to try to pretend that that's not part of their background.

I'm proud of those achievements, and I think that's a good thing, but I want to use them to better the country.

And I get it.

We have been taught to be, and we have good reasons to be so skeptical of anything that we're told.

I mean, we've been lied to so many times by governments and leaders of universities.

So I always embrace skepticism and say we should always stay skeptical.

of me, of you, of a president, of anybody else, always stay skeptical.

But the path is not just to stay skeptical for the sake of being a skeptic.

The part of reason of doing it is actually part of the path to truth.

And if you follow the facts, you'll understand that's certainly why I'm in this.

And I'm not going to stop until we save this country.

And I was also intent to release this book before the election for a reason.

I don't want to be waking up on November 6th and saying, what more could we have done?

I am a little bit concerned.

I'm optimistic on one hand.

I'm traveling the swing states of this country, and I have a good vibe, at least for President Trump, maybe less so for the Senate candidates.

But I also am worried.

We were told we were supposed to have a red wave in 2022 that never came.

And I think we're at risk of something like that happening in 2024 unless we level up.

We can't just fall into the trap of criticizing the left.

And we got to do some of that, but we can't just do that.

We have to offer an alternative vision of our own.

of what are we running to.

Not just what are we running from, but what are we running to?

What do we actually stand for as conservatives and as Americans?

We don't talk about that enough.

The individual, family, nation, and God beat race, gender, sexuality, and climate if we have the courage to actually stand for our own vision.

And that's probably the number one call to action at the end of the book, Truths, is that if we want to actually revive the country, it's not just about dismissing the other side's arguments.

We have to level up and offer a vision of our own.

And that's what I'm trying to do, not just through this book, but through whatever I do next for the country.

That's going to be a core focus for me.

Clon.

Vivek, I think I'm going to be sending your book to several people that I know to see if they will.

Wait, what book?

Pardon me?

Which book is it?

His book.

Truths.

Oh, Truths, the Future of America First.

That's right.

Truths, the Future of America First.

Vivek, thank you so much.

God bless.

Thank you, guys.

You better

Sit tight, boys and girls.

We'll be right back after these messages.

So yesterday, Joe Biden was on the view.

I don't know if he knew he was on the view, but he was on the view.

Listen to cut six here on what he says about delegating to Kamala.

And as vice president, there wasn't a single thing that I did that she couldn't do.

And so I was able to delegate her responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic policy.

Okay, so he's delegated a lot of his work onto her.

Is he still running the the country?

Who is making the decisions on things like Ukraine?

Ukraine,

we are

being asked now for another, what was it?

How many billion?

$7.9 billion

in aid for Ukraine.

Zelensky is pushing for the long-range weapons.

And Putin has said,

this is war.

It'll be an act of war.

Have we made the decision yet?

Are we doing that?

Why are we coming out right now and saying we're not going to do that?

It's terrifying.

Really terrifying.

Yeah, it should be a kind of an instant response, at least at the, I know I keep saying this, but at the very least, publicly.

Yeah.

It should be the instant response.

Correct.

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

Where's Ukraine?

That should be our stance on Ukraine.

Amen.

Publicly.

Now,

if you want to be supportive and you want to do all these things,

you know, we have done stuff like this in the past.

Hasn't always worked out so well.

So that's something to consider.

But if you wanted to do those things, we should be very much off the record doing them.

Not in front of everybody and saying, hey, we think you should take out cities in Russia.

In other words, we shouldn't say like if there was a pipeline that

if they don't go our way, that we'll make sure that that pipeline.

You shouldn't say that, especially if you're planning on doing it later.

Wow.

Now, as we all know, this was a couple of people on a yacht

and they have with no connection whatsoever to anyone.

Well, they were taking scuba lessons.

Yes, they they were taking scuba lessons and we will say they did go to ukraine to talk about this but we america shut them down we said no ukraine do not go blow up that pipeline but unfortunately they had already left on their yacht trip wow so and they you know they probably had scuba gear who can answer a phone in scuba gear it's basically impossible so they went over there and blew up the pipeline wow but but all of that being said

actually what they want you to believe that was the actual story.

They want you to believe that was the story.

It was like four people,

or six people, and a couple of them were women who got in scuba gear and went down by themselves to blow up the pipes.

And a scuba and a scuba instructor.

And a scuba instructor.

That's right.

That's right.

It had to be believable.

That's why.

And it would have got away with it, too, if it wasn't for those damn kids in the mystery van.

It's either the worst lie or the greatest story of all time.

I don't know which one it is.

It's one of those two.

I got an inkling, but it is, it would be an incredible share what I will say.

This: I want to see the movie of the story whether it's true or not.

Yeah, because it would be, and it should be a dark comedy.

That's what it should be.

Yes, somebody make that film, yeah, because that is the most unbelievable story of all time.

A bunch of guys just sitting around in a bar and be like, you know what, we should do, and then they're in scuba gear below, interrupting the entire energy flow of the world.

The Glenn Beck program.

So, between now and when you vote in November, you can also vote with your wallet.

And when you purchase products made in America by American Giant, a great company, you're casting a vote for American manufacturing, for American workers, for American quality.

I saw Kamala last night saying

that Trump actually lost manufacturing jobs and

Kamala Harris was going to bring them back.

It was a fascinating story.

It wasn't true at all.

But I mean, when you talk about American manufacturing, it's not just voting, right?

It's much more than that.

It's about supporting the companies that take this on.

American Giant is, you know, a great one because you're

not only supporting American manufacturing, you're also just getting clothes you're going to absolutely love that are going to fit great, that you're going to be wearing from now until

forever, decades from now, because it's going to be your favorite sweatshirt.

It's going to be your favorite clothing.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Wow, and it really is.

That's what's so exciting about it.

Last night I did a Wednesday night special on Kamala Harris, her radical climate agenda, and how it's going to bankrupt the country and bankrupt you.

And there's no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

She is a climate climate extremist

55 million dollar ad campaign coming from one of the extreme client

climate people that are you know behind the whole green new deal i'll give you that also rand paul is going to be on with us he's going to be talking uh a little bit about what just happened a few minutes ago with the secret service he's a little upset about what's going on with the secret service are we going to get any answers there we'll talk to him in just a second sarah let me do one plus one here so I don't have to break until the bottom of the hour.

We just want to have a clean sweep.

So let me tell you about realestate agentsitrust.com.

One of the most common thing you're apt to say to yourself shortly after starting the price process of buying or selling a home was,

What the hell am I thinking?

What's wrong with us?

It's a really demanding process.

And in order to do it right, you need to get the best real estate agent you can get.

And the real estate agents that you come across, you know, sometimes they're good, sometimes they're not.

But do you even know how to interview?

Do you know what the best practices are?

You know what the questions are that you should ask?

How should they be acting?

You know, for instance, what is their marketing plan?

How many people come to their website?

How many people are visiting their website every single week?

Is your house going to be seen?

This is why I started Real Estate Agents I Trust.

We went and looked for the best real estate agents in your area and in the area you're moving to.

We don't have them everywhere in the country, but we have a lot of places really covered.

They're not just credentialed, they're the top sellers because you need a team of people when it comes to buying or selling houses, and our agents can help you form that team and lead them.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

The name says it all, realestate agents I trust.com.

Stu, what is gold up to right now?

Right this moment, I don't know.

I know yesterday it hit an all-time high, 2,670, I think is what I saw.

I can check it out.

2,670.

Was it the beginning of the year that it was 2,000?

Let's see, here to date.

It's 2000.

You're correct.

Beginning of the year, 2000.

It is currently actually at 2,689.

So it's up to 100.

Another all-time high.

And actually peaked

a couple of hours ago at about 27.08.

This thing starts to hit 3,000.

I'm telling you.

American, America, please don't do what you always do.

You know, when houses are really high, everybody's like, like, I got to go buy a house.

No, no, no, no, please.

This number is going to get bigger and bigger and bigger.

Now is the time to buy.

Please.

Can you imagine if Kamala gets in?

Do you know what gold is going to do?

If she gets in?

Holy cow, $3 billion in trusted transactions, thousands of five-star reviews, 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee.

Don't take my advice on investing.

Now, who would have seen that New York City was corrupt?

It comes as a surprise to me, a big surprise.

It looks like everybody is being indicted in New York City,

the mayor's team.

And a lot of it has to do, I guess, with the money that's coming in for the

refugees.

That aren't refugees.

Where are they coming from?

Where's their little boat that washed up on shore?

We're a refugee.

Where is that?

I'm trying to.

Anyway,

so a lot of people look like they might be going to jail.

Now, the question is, because I think

I don't know enough about this, but it seems as though there's a lot of evidence that bad things were going on with a lot of people, right?

However, I wonder if he hadn't been so vocal about the administration.

If it would have just let

sleeping dogs lie.

You know what I mean?

Just shh.

Because you're right.

Like that's been the interesting thing.

I see a lot of people saying,

criticizing those on the right saying, oh, well, the only reason he's getting taken in or getting indicted is because he spoke out on immigration.

And there may be some people saying that.

I think a more accurate description of what they're saying, or at least most of the people I've talked to on the right are talking about, is that, you know, every Democrat does crap like this.

Most of them have no consequences.

This guy seems to be the one guy getting consequences.

Now, it's not.

It could be that it was so deep and so widespread.

Right, it could be.

I mean, it had nothing to do with that.

But

in an era where Democrats get away with murder, yeah, all the time.

They do everything and constantly get away with it.

And then this one guy, the one, I mean, and coming from someone who's, you know, not in New York, and frankly, other than a few people who I like there, don't really care what happens to it.

I am of that position of like, really, like what I've seen about Eric Adams has largely been that.

Like, you know, he, he, his comments on the illegal immigration crisis have been the one thing that has cut through nationally since he got into office.

The one thing he's known for nationally since he got into office is pushing back against this left-wing narrative and frankly, hurting the administration that is now coming after him.

So I don't know.

I mean, I don't think it's the only reason I doubt.

I hope not.

Honestly, I hope not.

I mean,

you've got to have trust that

it's not all politics, that justice once in a while peeks out and goes like, ooh, there's an injustice.

I should look into that one.

Yeah, I agree.

I will say it is odd, though.

Here's a guy who was in, he was in law enforcement for many, many years, was not a scandal-ridden guy, old guy.

He was not one of those guys that was constantly in the news for, you know, about to get arrested or, you know, thrown out of being, you know, police chief because he was so corrupt.

And I guess the theory here is his plan the entire time was to become mayor so he could take money from Turkey.

That's the whole, you know, it's just a weird story.

I don't know.

Maybe it's completely true.

Maybe he went from a law enforcement guy for, you know, a million years and then the week one he got into office just switched completely and was was like, give me all your money, Turkish government.

Maybe.

Let me just say this, though.

You know, we've lived in New York.

It is.

It's so corrupt.

Oh, it's so corrupt.

And the only reason why I bring that up is

it's not surprising that

he could have been completely non-corrupt, but then he becomes mayor, and the corruption is just so good and so bad.

Yeah, it's real.

And

the one thing I just like to point out, there's never been corruption charges with the biggest builder in all of New York working with all of the unions, all of the dirt that honestly I thought had to go down with Donald Trump.

Cause I live there.

Stu, you remember, his buildings would go up twice as fast as anybody else's.

And you'd be like, how do you do that?

How do you do that?

And it's not corruption, but apparently it is with Adams.

Let me go to,

do we have him on?

Let me go to Rand Paul.

Rand Paul, Senator, welcome, sir.

How are you?

Good morning, Glenn.

Thanks for having me.

You bet.

So tell me what is, are we ever going to get to, we were just talking about the justice system and how corrupt it is.

And, you know, this.

The system of the Secret Service, we're not getting,

I don't think we're getting any real answers.

And it doesn't seem like anybody really cares anymore in the media or, you know, those in the Secret Service.

Am I reading this right?

I would say as far as Congress is concerned, there's been a remarkable amount of concern both on the Republican and the Democrats.

Yeah, I have been surprised.

We rarely get the Democrats to do anything, and they signed on to a report that basically condemned the first assassination attempt as a compilation of errors.

I mean, just Secret Service errors one after another, inexcusable errors, and we condemned those errors.

But lo and behold, not a whole lot's been done.

And we have a second assassination attempt, and it's once again full of egregious errors.

A guy waiting for 12 hours, nobody knows he's there.

Turns out he's been there on and off for 30 days.

So yeah, these continue to be human errors.

Now, the only success I can tell you is they have at least now finally acknowledged they're giving the same Secret Service detail to Biden, Harris, and to Trump.

So that is a step forward.

It doesn't mean that we have good people running the place yet, but I've told people I'm not going to rest until there's responsibility taken.

And whoever was in charge in Butler, and really who was ever in charge in Mar-a-Lago the other day, they are not showing the ability to be in charge, and they need to be replaced.

I saw a story today that just says

they're overworked and stretched thin.

Since when have we had a problem with budget?

Yeah, here's the thing, and even that's not true.

And really, when you have human error,

you shouldn't give the humans more money.

And the thing is,

if you look at their budget, their budget's gone up like in the last three or four years, gone up like a third.

Just last year, it went up 14.5%.

We spend over one, I think it's $1.3 billion.

This is not a funding problem.

Every one of these things we looked at, and we've written an entire report, came out yesterday, has dozens of errors.

None of them include money.

No one was in charge.

No one takes responsibility.

No one admits it was their job to walk around the grounds and say, wow, look at this roof.

It's only 100 yards away, pointed right at the stage.

Why don't we put a countersniper up there?

We also know that the Trump campaign and the Trump Secret Service asked for months for countersnipers.

The first time they finally get countersnipers is at Butler.

And thank God the countersnipers were there because if they had not taken the shooter out as quickly as they did, it obviously was a lot of errors, but they still took out the shooter very quickly.

Had they not gets off another 10 rounds, he could have well have hit and killed Trump with a second shot or more Secret Service and more spectators.

So we're lucky they finally did, but we'd like to know why they were turned down for six months.

You know, were they sent to protect the First Lady instead of Trump?

There's a lot of questions that are unanswered, and we're still trying to get to the bottom of it.

But this is the fight we have all the time with the executive branch.

You know, I've been trying to get information about the COVID cover-up for three years.

It's non-classified, and they still fight me on that.

So you can see it's fighting tooth and nail.

And really, the only way you get people to give you information is the opposite of what they do.

You withhold money.

If you withhold their money and say, you know, we're going to withhold your salaries, all of a sudden the documents start showing up.

So, have we dismissed the

supposed

coded,

I don't even know what they were, apps that he had between

two other

dark kind of countries.

I guess

the first shooter.

The first shooter.

You know what I'm talking about?

Yep, I do.

He had several encoded apps where he was communicating with someone.

No one's dismissed him.

I think they just don't have the ability to crack them, is what they're apparently telling us.

I think that everything about both the first and the second shooter look like

independent shooters, not that sophisticated.

That's what makes it more troubling is that an unsophisticated shooter two times in a row was able to get to the point where he could have killed former President Trump and realize there are also credible threats now from Iran saying that they will do it.

And Iran's a much more sophisticated enemy.

I mean, if nothing else, the Iranians are pretty good with missiles and with drones and with technology.

And, you know, we have to have the appropriate defensive wear in place.

And, you know, we just barely got counter snipers for Trump.

But I've been pushing and pushing to make sure we have the sophisticated defense equipment that's necessary to stop a state actor from assassination.

This is absolutely insanity that we, you know, the leader of the world is

grappling with technology.

And, you know, we got to get better technology.

This is, I mean, we're becoming a third world country quickly, it feels like.

We're becoming the end of the Soviet Union.

Yeah, and the thing is, is you know, there is no excuse for what happened.

It really wasn't a lack of money, lack of resources.

This was just common sense.

No one's in charge.

But really, in the first shooting, it's pretty dramatic.

A guy's on the ground for 90 minutes.

And your local police are pretty good at having suspicion.

Even regular people are pretty good with suspicion.

So they have suspicious, you know, suspicion of this man for nine a young man for 90 minutes.

Nobody really does anything, though.

They kind of start looking for him, but they don't find him.

But really, he had a backpack big enough to fold an AR-15 into.

He's using a range finder, and he looks suspicious.

Wouldn't you think that that's enough to remove former President Trump from the stage?

Yes.

They never did it.

They finally announced it all globally, and Secret Service hears about it with 27 minutes to go.

So this is still probably 10 minutes before Trump takes the stage.

They have 27 minutes till the shooting.

They still don't take him from the stage.

But then they have a last chance.

At 6.06, the shots are at 6.11 in a couple of seconds.

At 6.06, people are shouting,

man on a roof, man on a roof.

At 6.08, the police are shouting, man on a roof, man on a roof.

They're running towards the building with guns drawn.

The counter sniper sees him running.

He points his gun over there.

Everybody's looking there, and yet no one says, take Trump off the stage.

Man on a roof is enough to take the former president from the stage, and they don't do it.

Between 6.08 and 6.10, it is radioed to the main tent, the security tent for the Secret Service and the local police.

They're in one tent.

They do hear the message.

Does any of them say take Trump off the stage?

They start making phone calls to do something about the man on the roof, but nobody takes him off.

So it's like, this seems like 101 in security, and I'm not an expert in security.

I would think the first thing you do is take the president off the stage.

Yeah, this sounds like the Keystone cops.

I mean, you're that convinced that this is all just

human error, that there's, I mean, because that is, that's a lot.

It's the Keystone cops all the way through.

Yeah.

I just have no evidence otherwise.

I will tell you the one thing that will be hard to prove and no one's really ever going to know is they denied counter snipers for six months.

They denied extra security protection that was being recommended by the Trump Secret Service and the Trump campaign.

That was denied for six months.

I'm not going to be able to get inside the head of the denials and write down that they did it because of bias, but I can tell you from meeting people throughout government, Department of Justice, CIA, FBI, people who are supposed to be unbiased are so deranged by their hate of Trump that they do bizarre things.

I mean, look at the whole Peter Strzok thing and his

mistress.

All of that was hatred of Donald Trump, and they still worked at the FBI.

And what did the the Department of Justice do in the end?

They gave him a million-dollar payout.

They said we were unfair to poor Peter Strzok, who was trying to, you know, make sure there was no chance Trump could be elected.

It's insane.

Is anyone going to be held?

Wait, wait, wait, before I get there, one more thing on the shooter from the golf course.

He didn't go to jail.

He should have been all over everybody's radar.

He had to have been over the CIA's radar.

Do you think that that was all just

people being

more about that than what I've seen?

All I've seen is stuff from the press.

We haven't done any interviews on that, and we would have to have interviews with the CIA.

They barely talk to us.

They don't believe in any oversight of the CIA or the FBI.

If I request a conference with them, it's like pulling teeth.

If I beg someone on the intelligence committee, I can sometimes get a meeting with the CIA or the FBI.

They're beyond oversight.

People need to realize this.

Not only is there a deep state, the deep state is not responsive to your elected officials.

They just basically thumb their nose at us.

So how is that going to change?

The only way it changes, and the way historically it worked, is we had the power of the purse.

You have to have people with guts who run the appropriations committees.

There are some that are favorable, but many people on the appropriations committee are there to be a rubber stamp for more money so they're more used to in a in a crisis like the secret service let's give them more money whereas historically what you did is you withheld their money until they gave you all the documents but nobody really

can get thing nobody uses the power of the first is not used at all nobody seems to have the

they don't seem to have the courage i mean we just we had an opportunity to get the safe act passed nobody had the courage to do that um we're coming back in i think uh december are are we gonna hold up we have under two minutes we have like 90 seconds.

Yeah, you know, the thing is, is with the COVID cover-up, I've been trying to get non-classified documents.

We voted unanimously to declassify everything.

That's not even the problem.

I can't get non-classified documents, but I would get them within a week if the appropriators, the spending folks on Republican and Democrat side would, you know,

hold their feet to the fire and say no more money, but they haven't done it.

I'm still hoping with the new presidency I get those documents.

But with this, with the Secret Service, I can tell you this and tell your listeners this.

I'm not giving up on it.

I will stay on this until someone is held responsible.

And to my mind, that means someone has to lose their position.

Yeah, maybe multiple people lose their position.

And I hope, and I've been so heartened by your work on

the COVID stuff that you're just not going to let that go.

Because

COVID, this is,

I mean, this

millions of people died around the world.

Somebody has to pay for that.

Somebody has to be held accountable.

Rand, thank you so much.

Thank you.

Appreciate it.

Senator Rand Paul, the senator from

Kentucky.

WELLCOME TO THE GLENBECE PROGROM.

We're glad you're here.

Kamala Harris said yesterday while at the Economic Club in Pittsburgh that she's got a plan.

She's got a plan.

Here it is.

Cut four, please.

I believe we need to grow our middle class

and make sure our economy works for everyone.

Wow.

For people.

Woo!

Yes.

Clap people.

I thought I was only

targeted towards

single-celled

working Americans I meet every day across our nation.

Is it just just those people?

Just the people she meets every day?

Well, no,

like the people that she grew up around, too.

The middle class.

She's a daughter of Oakland.

I don't know if you knew that.

Yeah, actually, she lived in Berkeley.

Via Berkeley and Montreal.

But yeah, she's a daughter of Oakland.

So anyway,

what she doesn't say is, how is she going to grow the middle class?

Oh, no, that's not true.

Oh.

Yeah, I actually watched her economic proposals yesterday.

I've memorized them.

What?

I've memorized them.

I thought it was so important that I spent time time yesterday doing some memorization to understand her policies

specifically.

You can just write it down.

Right off the top of my head now.

Anytime economic policy.

Anytime anyone asks.

All right, go ahead.

Yesterday she said it.

She said, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump thinks the economy works best when it works best for the people who own

the skyscrapers.

What I want to do

is I want to make the economy work best for the people who mop the floors of the skyscrapers.

Wait, wait, before the

crowd goes crazy, which it just did,

isn't that incredible?

Wow.

Economic plan.

Again, that's

not.

No.

It's not.

Because

some people I've heard even say, it's just another idiotic insult and a way of rephrasing everything else she's already said.

But that is what she did yesterday.

That was her big proposal.

Well, here she is on taxes.

So you got to get around to a tax policy

partner, please.

Expanding that child tax credit, or you mentioned housing before, giving that extra money for a first home.

If you can't raise corporate taxes, or if GOP takes control of the Senate,

where do you get the money to do that?

Do you still go forward with those plans and borrow?

Well,

but we're going to have to raise corporate taxes.

And we're going to have to raise

sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share that's just it it's about

their fair that's our system of government i'm not mad at anyone for achieving by the way that's how they've governed yeah it is it is how they've just going to do it student loans we're just going to do it that's just it we need to get rid of those student loans that's just it eviction moratorium well we we have to stop if that's just it that's not how our system of government works Kami.

And I mean that as a...

You mean Kamala?

No, I meant a short, short, yeah, shorting, I was shorting, you know, abbreviating her name to from Kamala to Kami.

Takami.

I like that.

It is weird how that works really well because I actually meant it as

the short version of her name.

And it actually just kind of works as another term.

It does.

But it's so ridiculous.

You know, she is

her description of what happens in our system is just like bonkers.

If what they could do is just make this occur, why haven't they done it?

Right.

She's in office currently.

Why have it?

If you could just do it, why haven't you done it?

Because they haven't gotten rid of the filibuster yet.

Yeah.

As soon as they get rid of the filibuster,

they'll be doing all those things.

Hey, last night, I did a TV show on, you know, some of her policies.

And it's not.

Was it about who owns skyscrapers?

No.

No.

No, it was who's giving her money right now.

And it's weird because the people who are all behind the green, you know, the new Green Deal or Green New Deal, yeah, they're all giving her millions and millions of dollars for her campaign.

And you would think if she's not for all of the stuff for the Green New Deal,

that you'd stop giving her the money.

You'd be upset with her.

You'd be upset with her.

Why are you abandoning all the values you've promised that you supported in the past?

Correct.

Let me go cut eight.

Here's a little bit from last night's TV show.

If the current green activist regime continues, you will lose so much money.

Over the past year, U.S.

electricity prices rose another 3.6%, which outpaced the inflation rate.

In 2022, the price of electricity grew 10.7%,

which was the highest year-over-year increase since the year 2000.

Since Joe Biden took office, home electricity prices have increased around 20%,

with Americans now paying over $5,000 more per year on utilities compared to what they paid before the Biden White House.

Now, there was a CNET survey this summer, found 78% of Americans are a little stressed over the rising home energy costs.

We're going into the winter.

Who's psyched for it?

32% having to borrow money or go onto payment plans to pay their energy bills.

A third.

Now in California, which is the standard-bearer state when it comes to all things green energy, electricity rates have necessarily gone up over three times faster than the national average since 2008.

Last year, Californians owed over $2 billion in unpaid utility

bills.

Who's going to pay that off?

We will.

We will.

No state has mandated the adoption of solar power more than California, yet its power bills just keep going up.

In fact, they now have this weird problem of producing too much solar energy.

During certain times of the year, there's an oversupply of solar power that overwhelms transmission lines in some areas of California.

When that happens, the electricity just goes back into space.

Already this year, the state wasted 2.6 million megawatt hours of electricity, which NBC News reported is enough to power all of the homes in San Francisco for a year.

And by the way, have you tried doing any green energy conversions at your own home?

I have.

You don't want to see my bills.

Oh, it is.

It's absolutely unreasonable.

Solar panel technology has been around now for decades.

Yet the average cost of installing a solar panel system for your home is still $25,000.

I wish.

To retrofit your home appliances to comply with the new Biden and Harris efficiency standards,

that's only going to cost you $9,000.

Then there's another $16,000 to buy and install the electric heat pump that Biden and Harris want everybody to have and use.

And then their Inflation Reduction Act law, it actually

encourages people to convert to the heat pump,

but that'll only shave $8,000 off the price.

Oh, and by the way, even though the law was passed two years ago, Those rebates still aren't available, but we super duper promise they will.

Altogether, the Biden-Harris green mandate will add $31,000 to the cost of a new home.

But what's that?

I mean, that's no big deal, right?

Now they think they're earning their green merit badges by helping to save the planet, but all they're really doing is kicking regular Americans down the stairs.

They're super, super pro-choice, except when it comes to green stuff.

Then you must do what we say or you shall die.

Yeah.

So that sounds like a good plan, doesn't it?

It sounds like a good plan.

We're going to make housing less expensive by giving you money.

That's redistribution of wealth.

We're going to give it to

illegal immigrants.

Oh, instead of veterans or...

our own homeless yes because they're in super need Oh, okay.

So you're going to put them up in current housing when we have a housing shortage here that's going to make it more expensive, you know?

Well, don't worry about it.

We have the money.

We'll take care of it.

Okay.

But you spending all that money also makes it more expensive through inflation.

Why are you being so why do you hate migrants so much?

This is truly the plan to make it so you don't own anything.

If we don't get out the vote,

if these guys win,

you're not going to be able to afford any.

Poverty in this country will look more like Venezuela than any kind of poverty we've ever dealt with.

More in just a minute.

You know, I've said it a million times and I'll say it again.

You are the first responder in an emergency situation.

You don't wait for them.

You are the first responder.

And sometimes that means using deadly force.

But a lot of times that situation doesn't call for deadly violence.

When you're armed with a Burna launcher, you have the perfect combination of man-stopping power that won't kill.

and protection for yourself and your family.

This is a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home that will teach somebody a very painful but non-lethal weapon lesson.

It's legal in all 50 states with no permits.

It can be used by all age groups over 18.

Burn a launcher has powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range.

And one shot of that tear gas can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

Government agencies and law enforcement are using these all around the country.

It doesn't replace your gun, but it gives you a non-lethal option that's really good.

and allows you to carry a gun where you know they won't let you have a gun.

It's a great addition to your home's defense.

It also gives you extra options that you might need someday.

Let's get a update on how the state of the race is going with the Pulsecast.

Yep, Pulsecast is a finger on the pulse of all the measures from the mainstream data nerds and forecasters.

and today donald trump has a 44.52 percent chance of winning the election just a tick down from yesterday i think largely because of one poll that had kamala harris up by seven

which has been the best poll of her of the entire campaign for her so i mean my guess is that's going to be an outlier we will see of course on the other side of that and we will see what the ramifications were with a tough interview she got from stephanie rule last week wow that was i'm concerned for kamala's campaigns did you i mean did you really pay attention that was rigorous it was rigorous i watched the entire thing.

We went live on YouTube afterward, and I was screaming at the camera most of the time after.

But listen to this setup for,

this is one of her tough pushback questions, by the way.

Over the past four years, there have been tremendous economic wins.

This is a question.

This is not Kamala Harris responding to a question.

This is a question from the journalist, Stephanie Ruhl.

Stop using that word.

I mean, she did massacre journalism last night.

It was a.

It It was a chalk outline on my TV screen.

I don't even know because it was just parts all over the room.

It was like a saw sequel.

Yeah.

What happened to journalism?

Yes.

Over the last four years, there have been tremendous economic wins, and you just laid out a big plan.

I want to just say, sorry, I'm starting this because this is the time she pushed back on Harris.

This is the tough part of the interview.

And Harris says, yes.

Yes, okay.

Then she says, Stephanie Rule, but still, polling shows that more, most likely voters still think Donald Trump is better to handle the economy.

Why do you think that is?

Now, that's as tough as it gets here.

Now, she says, well, here's what we know in terms of the facts from Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump left us with the worst economy since the Great Depression.

Oh, my gosh.

When you look at, for example, the unemployment numbers.

Now,

just as a journalism student, Glenn, if you were in first dave, what would be the thing you'd point out about?

Well, as an uneducated journalist, I would point out that, you know, there was COVID and

the governments all over the world shut the economy down.

With full support from people like Kyle Harris.

Right, right, right.

In fact, they didn't think they went harsh enough.

Right.

And wanted to extend it farther.

But you'll be surprised to hear that Stephanie Ruhl did step up and point, push back a little bit.

Yeah, did she?

She said it was during COVID, and unemployment was so high because we just shut down the government.

We shut down the country.

Right.

Harris's response,

even before the pandemic, he lost manufacturing jobs.

By most people's estimates, at least 200,000.

He lost manufacturing plants.

Ask the auto workers how he lost auto plants.

Now,

this isn't true at all.

Okay.

Donald Trump did not lose 200,000 manufacturing jobs.

He actually gained 414,000 manufacturing jobs before the pandemic.

Is that after he lost the 200,000?

Or before?

No, no, this is right before COVID.

Okay.

He had gained $414,000.

So not lost $200,000.

He could have gained $600,000.

And then also lost $200,000?

That's how he got to it.

Yeah, yeah.

All right.

That makes sense.

That could be that.

Yeah.

And also,

you know, what did the Trump economy leave us?

She said it was the worst economy due to job record.

That's what they said.

Employment status.

Of course, that.

Isn't even true.

Now, that one I wouldn't even push back on because, okay, well, yeah, we all know that the the economy was really bad.

However, that isn't even true because, yes, it hit 14.8% unemployment.

It was, you know, obviously horrible at that point during the peak of COVID when everyone was home.

The Great Depression was like 25%.

Well, yeah,

she said the, what was the actual quote from Kamala?

It was,

I don't have it in front of me, but she said it was, you know,

a couple of decades ago.

Yeah, it was like something a little bit more recent.

I don't think she included that.

But

what she leaves out is that the economy had largely bounced back to normal levels by the time they took over.

It was 6.4% unemployment when they took over.

I mean, I had forgotten it had come back that much before they even got into office.

It was 14.8 came all the way back to 6.4.

You and I, Glenn, have been doing this show a long time.

I remember normal years where it was 6.4%.

It was like kind of normal status, maybe a little bit on the negative side of the economy, but 4%

was full employment.

Yeah, three.

Three is actually

between three and four.

I think it moved from four to three as the years went on.

Right.

But like

3 to 4% has always been included.

You know, you're in a pretty good situation as far as employment goes.

It was already gone all the way back to 6.4 before they even took over.

So

from the income.

No, that's from the anticipation.

of the unburdening yourself from the past.

From what has been?

From what it's been.

Oh, you're right.

Do you have a Venn diagram that would explain that to you?

Oh, I love Venn diagrams, but I left mine on my yellow school bus.

But I think we all, I mean, we all love yellow school buses.

I love it.

I love it.

I think it's because we all went to school on a yellow school bus.

Yes, remember that.

Oh, man.

School bus.

That is great.

Well, I came from a middle-class neighborhood.

Yeah, I did.
