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

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

It was quite a fascinating weekend for me.

On Saturday,

I started my afternoon with a conversation with, let's see, who is it?

RFK Jr.

We talked about his lack of security, how the Biden administration just canceled that, how much

the times to him feel like when his uncle Jack or John F.

Kennedy,

was assassinated because he was trying to stop all the continuous wars.

Then spoke to Tulsi Gabbard, Roseanne Barr.

That was an interesting conversation.

Then I went in to spend some time with the president.

The president, not,

I don't even know who the actual president is today.

I mean, the former president, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump, we had probably a half hour together, 40 minutes.

He was calm, cool, collected.

He was at peace with everything.

We talked about his strategies on how to win.

He talked about what he was planning on doing, etc., etc.

And he was in great spirits.

And he told me he was going to Mar-Lago tomorrow just to relax.

and take a day off some much-needed rest.

I thought, that's not what he said, but that's what I thought.

I don't know how this man is even standing up straight with his schedule

then

i heard the news just like you did

a second assassination attempt

i about lost my mind

i'll give you all the details in 60 seconds first

If you're one of those people that live with frequent pain, I want you to try Relief Factor 1-800, the number 4 relief.

You probably have rejected this out of hand, maybe, if you've tried everything.

I mean, I'm one of those hard-headed types, and I tried everything, you know, better living through pharmaceuticals, which I'm now beginning to believe is a bunch of crap, about 80% of it.

But

we're in a place now where...

I'm willing to try anything because I'm seeing a daily supplement that actually helps my body function probably the way my body is supposed to function.

You know what I mean?

It's all natural.

It fights inflammation, which is the source of most of our problems and most of our pain.

Try it now.

Over a million people have tried Relief Factor, and you can try it at 800, the number four relief.

800, the number four relief.

Try it for three weeks.

They have their three quick start trial.

It is $19.95, 800 for relief.

800, the number 4 relief.

Well, we'll all remember where we were when they tried to kill the president the second time.

Here's an idea.

What do you say we just go to the ballot box?

What do you say?

We're 50 days away?

Can we take the next seven weeks and not try to assassinate somebody in this country?

You want to talk about a banana republic?

Gang, we're here.

I will tell you,

I'm not doing the show today that I had planned.

because I was meeting with the president on Saturday and he said something offhanded to me, and I was going in a direction of research on something.

And

he said, Glenn, I think there is something that is bigger than the economy right now.

And he said, the economy, we're killing them on the economy.

He said, they have no place to go on the economy.

They have no record on the economy.

He said, but what's happening now in our cities and what's happening in Ohio and elsewhere,

in Denver?

He said, I think this is actually a bigger thing than the economy.

And he is absolutely right.

If you know some of the things that we've been doing research on, Chris Ruffo has already done his research on this.

This is something that they've known about.

Well, I'll get into it not today.

We'll probably get into it maybe a little bit more tomorrow.

But today, I've got to talk to you about a would-be assassin.

Now, this one seems to be

miraculous.

You know, God saved, I believe, it was a miracle that Donald Trump turned his head

and

that bullet missed him and only nicked his ear instead of going right into the center of his head and us, all of us, having clear, clear, high-definition evidence of the president's head exploding live.

So I think God saved him from the the last one.

God may have saved him from this one as well.

But this one was a miracle in the darkest of ways as well.

First, let me tell you

what happened.

Early reports said that police recovered an AK-47 from the bushes outside of the golf course where the president was golfing,

as As well as a GoPro recording device.

Now,

why would you have a GoPro recording device?

Why would you have it attached to the fence pointing out at the putting green?

Why would you have that?

Unless you were planning on recording it, so your deeds would live forever.

Now my question is,

is there anything else already recorded on the GoPro?

Is there maybe a statement?

Because why would you record your deeds without recording a message for all to hear?

So I'd like to know what was on the GoPro, if anything.

But this guy obviously had an agenda.

Now he, according to the press,

he was all wound up because of Trump's rhetoric.

Was he now?

We'll get to that in a second.

So they caught him after he was in the bushes and a Secret Service agent was eagle-eyed enough to spot a barrel of a gun coming out from the bushes.

This guy had taken two backpacks and tied them to the fence.

And they were on each side of where he would have been sitting, and the barrel of the gun would have been right between them.

Now, it's really curious.

I mean, I know the media, you know, they're so smart.

They know what everything means.

They reported that he had ceramic tiles in his backpack.

And I immediately thought, I thought he was a roofer, not somebody that was going to lay tile in bathrooms.

No.

Could they explain what ceramic tiles mean?

I know because I've had to wear them from time to time.

A ceramic tile is what you put inside of the bulletproof vest if you are expecting a chest shot.

A bulletproof vest will not stop a high-powered rifle.

However, ceramic tile will.

So he put ceramic tile in his backpacks right where he would have been crouched.

with the gun.

So he was expecting a shootout.

Okay.

How did this Secret Service agent see it?

I don't know, but I want to believe and take it at face value that he was doing his job.

The reason why I say this time I believe it,

at least this time I want to believe that that agent was doing his job is because I was with the president on Saturday.

And I said on X,

and

I don't know where else I said it on Saturday, this is the very first time I have seen the Secret Service in 15 years actually do their job.

I have sat behind Mitt Romney

past the Secret Service with the guy next to me.

and a gun in his back.

They missed it.

I have come through security doors that were supposed to be secure and went past all of the Secret Service

passage, all of their security, went behind them, around them, and walked right directly to the president.

Now, if I can do that, who can't?

And I have been railing about this.

for 15 years.

Saturday was the first time I thought Secret Service was taking it seriously.

There was no way you were getting into the event that I was in unless you were an invited guest or you were supposed to be there.

And

there was no way you were getting close to the president.

So what happened?

Well, I want to believe that

I want to believe that the Secret Service was doing their job.

They were two holes, one or two holes ahead of the president, and he was scoping it out, and he looks and he sees the barrel of a gun coming through the bushes.

There is then a shootout.

Apparently, they were not shooting, they were shooting at each other.

They were not shooting at the president.

I don't know because things are still unclear.

The reason why we caught him is because somebody saw him run out of the bushes and then get into his car.

Somebody with the wherewithal to write down the plate number and be able to remember what the car was.

They called police immediately, said, here's the plate number, here's what the car looks like.

And because we have new AI

all over the freeways, all over all of our roads, it could read license plate numbers, identify the car, and they found him almost immediately, stopped him on the highway, they arrested him.

So now,

now what?

Well, who is he?

Well, the first person, as soon as the name was released, the Guardian was the first place to actually

find his son.

His son is,

was, I believe, in Florida.

And

they called him.

His name is Oran Routh.

They called him.

He picked up the phone.

He hadn't heard the news.

And he was asked for a comment.

And he said, well, this is the first I've heard about it.

Was my father shot or injured?

He then said his father hates Donald Trump as, quote, every reasonable person does.

Hmm.

Okay.

All right.

He said, I don't like Trump either.

Now, this is just, this is his immediate response after hearing that his father tried to kill the president.

He then says, well, he hates him just like every reasonable person, and I hate him too.

Oh, okay.

But he said his dad was not a violent person and couldn't believe his father would target the president.

He's my dad, and all that he's had is a couple of traffic tickets, as far as I know.

That's crazy.

I know my dad.

I love my dad, and that's nothing like him.

Is it?

Is it really nothing like him?

You know your dad.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Okay.

Now he said, I've got to go because I have to get more information, but I don't know anymore because we had a falling out.

We've grown apart.

Okay, but he's not a violent person.

He's a hard worker.

He's a great dad.

He's a great dude.

He's a nice guy who worked his whole effing life.

I've never known him to even own a gun or known him to do anything like this.

Okay.

Well, I don't think you know your dad.

I don't think you know your dad.

Because your dad, seeming,

the evidence seems to point that it was the same guy with the same name in the same state that barricaded himself into his office with a gun.

And

that gun, well, the FBI said it was a weapon of mass destruction.

It was a fully automatic machine gun.

So he went to prison, or or I'm sorry, went to jail.

He was convicted of having a weapon of mass destruction.

Now, wow, that seems like that should have been a long sentence, but it wasn't.

It wasn't.

And if

you're caught with an automatic weapon and you don't have a stamp for it, a tag for it, well, then you are...

You go to prison usually 20 years.

I don't know why he didn't go to jail for 20 years, but he didn't.

And then he got out.

Now remember, his dad is just a very peaceful person.

Then he got out

and started to recruit people to go to Ukraine

to fight in Ukraine.

Now, this is where it gets really interesting.

By the way, after the son did verify that, yep, that is his dad.

he made a public statement.

He said, I hate this game every four years, and I think we all do.

And if my father wants to be a martyr to how broken and disassociated the process has become from the real problems and practical solutions, then that's his choice.

So, gee, that sounds like you're excusing your dad's actions.

I'm not saying that what he's done or what he's about.

That's just my own rant about being fed up with all of it for my entire adult life.

South Park said it best, every four years we're forced to choose between a turd sandwich and a giant douche.

And it all stays effed in the same ways by different degrees, and we're exhausted and embarrassed by it all.

So the ends justify the means, is what I'm hearing here.

Well, thank you for stopping by, Saul Alinsky.

But let me get back to the story of who this guy is.

Because I have Eric Prince coming up in about half an hour.

He's the guy who said to Ron DeSantis, you should take this investigation in-house because I don't think you should just trust the FBI on it.

And

thank you, Eric.

Neither do I.

And I think you'll understand why in 60 seconds.

First,

in America, you absolutely have the right to protect your family, yourself, and even your property from those who would seek and do harm to you.

You can use deadly force.

The Second Amendment guarantees that you have this right and

it enshrines it and uh it is part of our culture but that doesn't mean every situation uh where there's danger necessarily necessarily calls for deadly force but i'm telling you this country is melting down to the ground please have some tools on hand there are times when it's appropriate to protect yourself with non-lethal means and that's where the burna launcher comes in now

i have a gun and i had more but I lost them in a boating accident.

But I will protect myself and my family.

I also have the Burna launcher.

It's a great complement to firearms because there are situations, quite a few actually, where less lethal is the way to go.

Burna is the best alternative to deadly force.

It's replacing the taser and pepper spray and everything else.

It's a powerful deterrent.

It has tear gas and kinetic rounds within a 60-foot range.

One shot can incapacitate an attacker for 40 minutes.

10 seconds, station ID.

All right, so I want to tell you a couple of things, and then I want to put the cherry on the top of the cake and ask you: Does this make sense to you?

Okay, so this guy is a roofer and apparently a bad roofer.

There's lots of complaints about, you know, how people put their roof.

He put the roof up and then it was leaking 13 months.

And gee, the warranty only lasts 12.

Buyer beware with this guy.

Kind of a failed roofer.

You know, but boy, he was passionate about politics.

Oof, really passionate.

Now, he gave a lot of money.

I mean, you know, I shouldn't say a lot of money.

He gave many donations, let's say that, to Act Blue.

And the press was quick to point out,

you know, he gave a lot of money to Act Blue,

but not to Harris.

Well, really?

Well, he only knew that she was the campaign, you know,

the presidential nominee for, what, 45 days?

I mean, he was busy loading guns and making plans.

So he's been giving to the, I believe, absolutely corrupt Act Blue and

the Democratic Party.

He has a long history of being a Democrat.

But he's also very passionate about two things.

He's very passionate about Ukraine and very, very super passionate about Taiwan.

In fact,

in a June 2022 interview with Newsweek,

he spoke about his efforts to recruit volunteers for the International Legion Defense of Ukraine.

That's a unit of Ukraine's ground forces.

He said to Newsweek, quote, the question as far as why I'm here, to me, a lot of the other conflicts are gray, but this conflict is definitely black and white.

This is about good versus evil.

This is a storybook, you know.

Any movie we've ever watched, this is definitely evil against good.

Social media accounts have focused on his self-proclaimed involvement in the war in Ukraine, including his supposed effort to recruit soldiers to fight in the conflict.

He also claimed to have fought in Ukraine as he continues to hold off Russia's invasion.

He also has provided an interview for the New York Times.

He He talked to the New York Times about recruiting Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban to fight in Ukraine.

At the time of the report, was March 25th, 2023, he told the Times that he had spent several months in Ukraine.

Semaphore, he also did an interview for.

That was March 10th, 2023.

And he was cited as the head of the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine.

Now, this is where it gets interesting.

I'll tell you more about it in just a second.

First, I'm a guy who believes in pragmatism.

Sure, I hope for the best, but I also try to prepare for the worst.

And the interesting thing is, I don't see that just as pragmatism.

I see that as a responsibility.

I cannot express to you

in more sincere terms,

You must prepare your family now for a different world.

This is why I have emergency food from My Patriot Supply in my home.

I want to recommend their four-week emergency food kit.

First day, new format, first day of the Glenbeck program on talk radio, 96.5 and 850 WTAR in Virginia Beach.

Thank you so much for carrying the Glenn Beck program.

What a day to start a news talk radio station a day after the president was, they tried to assassinate him again for the second time.

So we're just going through who this guy is.

Now, he was a roofer and a good guy, according to his never been in trouble a day in his life, doesn't have a gun.

You know, speaking of guns, I'd like to know where he got this gun.

And I'd like, because he was living in Hawaii.

His son thought he was still in Hawaii.

But I'm wondering where did he get this gun?

First of all, if he is the same guy that he appears to be that was arrested for a weapon of mass destruction,

how did he get out of jail so quickly?

Now, maybe it's not the same guy.

I don't know.

I'm just going off of the press reports.

But maybe it's not the same guy.

Maybe it's just another guy with the same name and an axe to grind that lived in the same community in the same state at the same time.

Maybe, maybe.

But I'd like to know where he got.

Did he check that gun

on the airplane?

Because I'd like to know what what bags did he bring over?

Did he check a gun?

We should find out.

Or did he somehow or another procure that gun in Florida?

Hmm.

Okay.

So I was telling you that he was recruiting people.

And again, I have Eric Prince on to talk about how difficult that is.

And he bragged to the New York Times about, you know, recruiting people.

So he was in the New York Times.

He was also in Newsweek.

He was also with Semaphore.

And he was talking about, you know,

recruiting all of these people.

And,

you know,

he was planning on, you know, going through Pakistan and smuggling people through.

And they, you know, they had the mercenary fighters over in Ukraine, and that's what everybody was covering.

And it was so interesting because

he was concerned with Taiwan.

And he was concerned.

Now, this sounds like a roofer.

I talk to roofers all the time, Stu.

And I, you know, I'm big in the roofer community.

And I hear the roofers all the time saying, Taiwan, you know, Taiwan is the real trouble spot.

But,

you know, that'll be, we're going to need, we need to put together an army of roofers

for Taiwan.

And I hear that all the time.

I'm like, can you just put the roof on, please?

Yeah.

Stop with all the Taiwan, you know, let's put together a little private army to go over to to Taiwan kind of talk.

Yeah, 43% of our audience are roofers and they're always requesting more Taiwan content.

And we try to do as much as we can, but it's just there's too much of a thirst, Glenn.

We can't get to those levels.

I know, I know.

And if it's not Taiwan, it, of course, is Ukraine.

And they're always talking about how they're going to procure passports through the corruption of Pakistan and then smuggle those people

into

Iraq

and

then

right to the front in Ukraine.

And

I'm like, shut up, guys, finish the roof, will you?

So it's so easy to do those kinds of things.

Now, you might be thinking, you might be thinking, well, this guy was a blowhard.

This guy was a roofer who didn't know his ass from his elbow.

He went over to Ukraine.

He made it look like he was doing a bunch of stuff, but he really didn't do anything.

Yes, that is a possibility.

But what's the problem with that possibility, Stu?

Well, it's an interesting one because that is kind of a pitch today from the media that this guy just had, he was a bumbling fool, right?

He was saying he was going to be able to import thousands of soldiers for these battles and get all these passports, and he had no idea how to do them.

None of this stuff ever happened.

What I kind of find interesting about that is, if that's true and this guy really had no connections and no ability to do these things, why did the New York Times interview him back in 2023 as

the guy to talk to about recruiting international soldiers for this battle?

Now, that's weird, huh?

Isn't that weird?

Because they didn't make him into a bumbling fool or idiot back then.

They made him look like, hey, I'm recruiting all these people.

Now, so let me ask the New York Times, did you take a bumbling idiot idiot and make him look like a guy who was actually coordinating people to get there from all over the world?

Did you do that,

I don't know, for a pro-war agenda to make people believe that this was really happening all over the world?

Or did you do your due diligence and you found out that he really was?

a real guy.

Which one, which lie am I supposed to believe from the New York Times?

That you were just doing the bidding of the government then or you're just doing the bidding of the government now?

I'm trying to figure it out.

I don't know.

It could go either way.

He could be a bubbling idiot.

He could be an asset.

Did I say this?

An asset.

Ooh, that's kind of frightening words.

An asset.

Now, who would be able to pull something like this off?

I mean, just, you know, I've got a few questions.

First of all, when he was saying that he was fighting, and we think this is the number, but we're not sure

if this is real.

But

on his website, he was recruiting foreign fighters to fight in Ukraine.

And

when somebody before it was disconnected dialed the number, they recorded the voicemail.

And here's what it sounded like.

Sarah, do you have that audio?

This is Ryan in Hawaii with Camp Box Buildings and also the National Volunteer Center sending soldiers to Ukraine as well as Taiwan.

If you would like to volunteer, please send me a message by WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, Signal,

Facebook, any of the messaging services, and I will respond.

I do not do voicemail, so please do not leave me a voicemail message.

I will never get it.

Thank you so much.

Is that him?

I don't know.

That was the number that was provided on his website.

So

if that number is legit, he's talking about recruiting fighters for both Ukraine and Taiwan.

He's trying to get foreign fighters from Afghanistan via Iran and Pakistan to fight in Ukraine.

Wow.

Think of the contacts you would have to have to make that happen.

You'd probably have to have somebody in the State Department or the CIA or the DIA or the Pentagon or, God God forbid, USIAID.

They're totally legitimate.

So who is he talking to?

If anyone?

Again, New York Times, I asked, were you lying then for the government?

Are you lying now?

Did you make this blowhard into somebody real just to further the propaganda of everybody's joining this war?

Or

are you lying to us now and saying he's a nobody?

I don't know.

I don't know.

But you know what's strange is

I knew the president was going to Mar-a-Lago.

I knew that.

I knew that Saturday.

You know why I knew that?

He told me himself,

tomorrow I'm going to take a day off.

I'm not going to do anything for the campaign.

I'm going to go to Mar-a-Lago.

Oh, okay.

So I knew that.

But that really wasn't out in the open.

It was just marked as a day off.

Okay, so you could say, well, okay, he's got a day off from the campaign.

Most likely, he's going to go to Mar-Lago.

Okay, so you fly in from Hawaii and you wait for him.

All right.

But you don't just wait for him at Mar-Lago.

You wait for him at his golf course.

Now, CNN just verified that that was a last-minute addition.

No one knew that he was going to golf.

The shooter did.

Now, how did the shooter know that?

Or was he just going to go to the golf course and just hope and pray that he was going to go to Mar-Lago and then he was going to go golfing at that time?

I mean, that's...

You want to talk about a miracle of the dark side?

That seems like a miracle.

Yes, I perform miracles as well.

Oh.

Because that's

wow, this guy was.

For a blowhard, that was pretty smart.

Don't you think, Stu?

I wonder if the New York Times could explain that.

I'm sure they're working on their story now.

By the way, Glenn, on this interview from 2023.

You know, in the actual story with this guy,

they outline his sort of crazy sounding idea to me, but they don't really say it's crazy.

The only thing they kind of throw in there is it's not clear whether he succeeded, but one former Afghan soldier said he had been contacted and was interested in fighting.

So it sounds like kind of a legitimate, you would look at this story and say, wow, this is a legitimate effort.

You know, this guy's trying this sort of stuff, you know, but who knows if he'll succeed, but it's a legitimate effort.

They wrote actually a new story on this.

A story entitled New York Times Reporter Revisits Earlier Interview with Suspect at Trump Golf Course.

And it's his story about how he talked to this this guy.

And his, now his summary of that interview is, it goes like this.

He talked about buying off corrupt officials, forging passports, and doing whatever it took to get his Afghan cadre to Ukraine, but he had no real way to accomplish his goals.

At one point, he mentioned arranging a U.S.

military transport flight from Iraq to Poland with Afghan refugees willing to fight.

I shook my head.

It sounded ridiculous.

But the tone in Mr.

Route's voice said otherwise.

He was going to back Ukraine's war effort no matter what.

So, like, at the time, the reporter knew this guy,

at least that's what he's saying now, knew that he was off his rocker and had no chance of doing this, but then presented it in the article as a legitimate part of this movement.

Like, if you have a guy,

right?

Like, if you have a guy, this has happened before, Glenn.

You're following up a story, someone seems involved with it, you get in touch with them, and you can tell they're like, okay, this is, this person's loony tunes.

He's got, you know, he's, he's not.

And what you do is you leave him out of the story.

You don't act, you don't use him as another piece.

Like, if he's not really involved in the movement, then you don't put him as a main character in the story about the movement.

You put it on the cutting room floor.

There was a major story today that

I was going to address, but we were checking out.

And Ricky,

one of our producers, our executive producer for television, said,

Glenn, I would not run with that story yet.

I would not run with that story.

Why?

Because something doesn't feel right.

This part of this story doesn't feel right because I don't trust this source.

I think there's something wrong.

Now, this is a huge story.

We're not going to talk about it today.

Maybe we don't talk about it ever.

because

something's not quite right.

Now, it seems like when I first read the story and was given the information, I was like, holy cow, this is monstrous.

And would it be great to break that story?

Sure.

If my agenda was to take someone down or move our agenda forward or whatever, that would be great.

But I don't trust it.

Ricky doesn't trust it.

So

I think we're going to wait until we find out for, for, for,

you know, and

I'm a recovering alcoholic former DJ that has absolutely no Columbia University journalistic skills whatsoever.

And that's my standard.

But the New York Times standard is, well,

I don't know.

I feel like this guy's a clown and a blowhard, but...

No, I'm going to write it in a way to make it sound like it's absolutely happening.

Hmm.

That's That's interesting.

New form of journalism, I guess.

Oh, I remember.

That's right.

It's the journalism that is done by a state actor posing as a journalistic outlet.

All right, back in just a second.

I want to tell you about America's number one fantasy sports app.

Yeah.

And here's Stu to do it.

Yeah.

It's Prize Picks.

Yes, tonight.

Football, get your mind away from all the craziness in the world.

And watch America's team, the Philadelphia Eagles, take on the Atlanta Falcons.

That's That's tonight.

It's a great time to turn on Prize Picks, the number one daily fantasy sports app.

Over 5 million active members.

We're talking about the easiest and most exciting way to play daily fantasy sports.

And it's an app where you just go against the numbers.

So you just pick more or less on

two to six player stat projections.

And here's a little hack for you.

A lot of times they'll just give you one for free.

Like, for example, next week, Caleb Williams over 0.5 passing yards.

I think even Glenn Beck could get that right.

I think he could get over on 0.5 passing yards.

They're giving you one for free.

Why not take advantage of it?

It's California, Texas, and Georgia now have it as well.

It's the only real money daily fantasy platform with an injury insurance policy so that your lineups stay in play.

Even if one of your players gets injured, if your player leaves in the first half and doesn't return, PrizePicks,

you're still alive.

It's a great little format.

They've got it all set up for you.

They have the flex play, which means you can still cash out if your lineup isn't perfect, which is what I did this weekend.

PrizePicks app today.

Go there, get it.

Use the code STU.

You'll get 50 bucks instantly when you play just five bucks.

The code is stew on prize picks to get 50 bucks instantly when you play five bucks.

You don't even need to win to receive the $50 bonus.

It is guaranteed.

So check it out.

Prize picks, run your game.

You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck.

Sit tight, boys and girls.

We'll be right back after these messages.

If you happen to own a home, would you like to keep that home?

This is a tough question for a lot of people.

A lot of people are like, well,

keeping it's a lot of responsibility.

There's a lot of maintenance work I got to do to fix the, you know, clean the gutters and all that stuff.

Maybe I'd rather lose it.

But if you'd like to keep your home, perhaps you'd like to, I don't know, maybe get a little protection against home title theft.

It's one of the fastest-growing crimes in America, and it's been that way for a while now, but it's still not really well known.

And if you are the victim of it, you're going to know about it, unfortunately.

It's why you need home title protection.

If no one's watching out for your title, then it really is just a matter of time until one of these thieves targets you.

This is happening.

It's real, and you can do something about it.

Don't fall prey to these thieves.

Go to home titlelock.com to make sure your title is safe.

The promo code is Blaze.

If you do that, you're going to get get a complete scan of your home's title.

So you make sure you're not affected by this already.

A lot of people don't even know it's going on before they're affected by it.

But you also get 30 days of triple lock home title protection for free.

So you can take advantage of this.

And this is protecting your biggest asset,

your equity in your home.

This is your retirement, most likely, your financial legacy.

What are you handing down to the next generation?

It's probably going to be very closely tied to your home.

So protect that equity with home titlelock.com.

Welcome to the Glenback program.

We're glad you're here.

This Friday and Saturday is the art show

that I am so excited about.

It's taken us two years to put this thing together.

We have 30 of some of America's best artists, and they are telling the American story.

We have opened up our vault to them about two years ago and said, find something that really inspires you, that you want to tell the story through art, because

we have to stop with this nonsensical art.

We have to tell our story in every way we can.

It's part of culture.

Art is a very important part of culture.

And

And so we've put this together, and it is a museum, as far as history museum.

All of the artifacts that inspired these artists are all going to be on display, as well as their paintings.

And you vote.

You select the one that gets the grand prize.

You can find out all about it at American Narrativesinfineart.com or at Glenbeck.com.

There are still some tickets, $25 tickets, to come in and see see all of it and see the history and everything, and I will be there.

Make sure that you join us.

This Friday and Saturday tickets are already sold out for Friday, Saturday.

Some tickets still available.

Glenbeck.com, get them now.

The Glenbeck program.

I have to tell you, our sponsors are the best.

I have my up phone ready to go because I don't want everybody spying on me.

And I have my Berna launcher because I know there's times that things may get tough.

And I don't want to shoot people unless I absolutely have to.

So I'll pull out my Berno launcher first.

It's

less lethal and it'll stop people

60 feet away.

I mean, stop them, incapacitate them for about 40 minutes, which is kind of nice.

Kind of nice.

Stu has one.

Do you have one for Lisa as well?

Yeah, actually, yeah.

That's the one I bought for her because she has, she's, you know, gone to the range and used her, you know, her gun before, but she's a little, I would say, a little scared of using it and bringing it around on a day-to-day basis.

The The Burna is a perfect midpoint.

Like, it gives her the protection she needs, and it, you know, it's a different type of experience, something that she could be comfortable with.

And it's legal in all 50 states.

You don't need to permit or anything else.

It's made here in America, proudly made in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Welcome to the fusion

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I want to read something that was written August 14th.

If Donald Trump all summer has been compared by his enemies to Hitler and his murderous Third Reich, and if 20-year-old would-be assassin and murderer with

ease took up a sniper's position to kill Trump without a notified Secret Service or other law enforcement attempt to abort the shooter's attempted assassination, what signal does that send to the other would-be assassins for the next 80 days during the campaign?

Is the message that a 20-year-old amateur sniper, if he can brazenly and visibly for nearly an hour breach all Secret Service security perimeters and shoot eight times at the president, hit him in the ear, kill one innocent bystander, and wound two others, then almost any future more experienced serious shooter can match or exceed the ability of that disturbed amateur to get close enough to Trump to fire more than eight shots at his head?

Is that possible?

And that shooting Donald Trump in many leftist quarters would subsequently earn the unhinged killer eternal fame, applause, and immortality.

And that if there is such an anticipated reward, perceived opportunities, then we may well see more attempts on the

candidate Trump's life.

No,

the man who wrote that

is on with me in 60 seconds.

Stand by.

Look.

George Washington said the only way we can beat the world's greatest army, the world's greatest navy, is to be people of merit.

That was the original Purple Heart.

It wasn't for getting wounded.

It was doing something that would bring favor on our cause in the eyes of God.

You had to be people of merit.

There is one thing that

I can't think of anything that would bring more blessings upon us than trying to save God's children.

Trying to save and stop abortion, but not just for the babies, but to save all of his children so that means the mom as well moms most most of the time like I think it's almost 70% of the time don't want to have an abortion they just feel alone they don't feel like they have any options and that's what our society is pushing for aborted aborted aborted this is where pre-born comes in pre-born is the largest pro-life organization, I believe, in the world now, saving 200 babies a day with people like you helping out.

So yesterday, Ron DeSantis said he was going to conduct the investigation on the second attempt on Trump's life.

It may have been prompted, I think it was, by Eric Prince, who

yesterday

said, please do not let the FBI be the only one to investigate this.

Tell the FBI to stand in line.

Florida needs to cover this and really look into everything first.

Welcome to the program, Eric Prince.

Good morning, Glenn.

How are you?

You know, I've been better.

I've been better.

I wish that your words,

what, almost two months ago,

you know,

didn't come come true, but I think you're right.

And I think that explains the GoPro

that was

connected to the fence.

Obviously, he wanted everybody to see exactly what he had done so he could get the praise for it.

Yeah, he was

that psycho was trophy hunting.

Yes, he was.

He was.

So let me ask you a couple of questions here.

First of all,

his record doesn't seem to make an awful lot of sense.

The New York Times, Semaphore, Newsweek had all interviewed this guy and

said that, or at least wrote the article in a way that presented him as

a legitimate guy trying to wrangle an army for Ukraine.

You don't just do that if you're a roofer, do you, Eric?

I think he

for the talk of him having joined some Ukraine legion, I also understand he was rejected as having no experience and no skills.

The guy seemed to be a true radicalized product of leftist social media and leftist propaganda.

And,

you know, my concern, why I wrote those other things, is

when the left opens the door and calls Trump Hitler, that activates every

crazy on their side to say, well,

I'm against Hitler, and any and all means are on the table to stop Hitler.

And so for the left, they can have their plausible deniability while

now they've actuated two crazies to try to kill the president.

So

my question, though, to you, Eric, is

the New York Times, Newsweek, they made him into

look like a credible guy doing these things.

Now, was that just because they were the arm of the federal government

and whipping people up with propaganda to show that people are coming from all over the world and look at this guy, he's doing this, when they knew he wasn't really sincere?

Or

are they

lying then?

Are they lying now?

on who he was?

I don't know what to believe.

Since yesterday, I've asked around, and people had heard the names, his name, around the time of the Afghan evacuation and

this scheme he was trying to poll by taking Afghans out of Iran, getting them some kind of bogus passports and getting them to Ukraine.

But that people have been warned off against

affiliating with him because he was crazy.

Okay.

All right.

Well, that explains his tweet to Elon Musk where he asked to buy a missile.

But

so this is just a guy that you think was wound up by the media.

Any idea how, I mean, he seems very, very lucky.

Any idea how he knew the president would be at Mar-a-Lago and that he would be golfing when CNN verified today that the president,

this was a last-minute addition to go golfing?

Yeah, and that's why I insisted.

Here's the thing.

The Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt has been memory-holed by the media and the left.

And

there's been no information about any of this kid's contacts over the last six months or six years.

How did he get radicalized about any foreign bank accounts?

any of that stuff, nothing, nothing from the FBI at all.

And to think that this, the Miami Miami office of the FBI, the same office that raided Mar-a-Lago on a bogus documents case where the new special agent in charge, a whistleblower, said that the FBI told him to delete his social media history because it was so virulently anti-Trump.

If we think that FBI office is going to do an honest job of investigating, I have severe doubts.

So for me,

and this speaks to the bigger problem of America, and I know you're a great constitutionalist.

We have a federal system.

And states have a lot more rights and a lot more power than they assert.

And this is a perfect opportunity for the governor of Florida to say, enough.

This nonsense stops on my watch.

And they're going to do a, they should do a very thorough proctology and especially dig into Ruth's electronics.

anyone he's in contact with over the last six days, six months, to figure out what the hell stimulated this guy to try this.

Because obviously, when you look at the picture of his firing position, there is two ballistic plates affixed to the

fence.

So, obviously, he was expecting counter-fire

and his GoPro attached, trophy hunting.

He was going to be a hero of the left.

I am very troubled.

I'm glad the Secret Service

saw him first

and engaged, but there was four rounds fired.

And the fact that the guy got away is troubling that they weren't able to put effective fire on him.

But good on local law enforcement for linking

the pictures.

I guess someone fleeing got a picture of his car and the license plate number.

They linked that to the

plate readers.

to a helicopter and

they stopped the guy.

But, yeah the the the left that was the language

yeah that was local that was sheriff's department yeah look that yeah local law enforcement in America is largely quite competent especially in sheriff-run law enforcement where you have an elected sheriff accountable to the people not to a hyper bureaucratic city council

but this must be I look this is a chance for Florida to really shine.

DeSantis has done good things to the rest of the state of Florida.

They would be doing America a great service by making sure there is a proper investigation done into all the background of this guy.

Was there any external stimulus beyond just the constant head-banging leftists calling for the death of Donald Trump?

So, Eric,

I've experienced the Secret Service many times, and I have gotten around them with my crew many times

and walked past all of their stuff and walked right up to the president.

You know, if I can do it, anybody can do it.

I was with the president on Saturday, and it was the first time that I saw Secret Service actually,

where I thought,

they were actually doing their job.

The Secret Service was all over the entire place.

It was really locked down.

They were all over him

and very close to him at all times.

I actually, what I saw on Saturday, I actually walked up to all of the Secret Service agents that I walked by and I said, thank you for doing your job.

This is the first time in 15 years I've seen the Secret Service actually be a force.

Do you believe that that is,

that this is, that they've done enough?

Obviously they haven't, but have they done enough?

Is this a serious attempt or was that a show?

I would say

the danger of security theater, of a lot of people making like they're busy in motion.

But

I've had one

very experienced professional that's interacted with the Secret Service a lot say that there's about 10% that are super competent trying to carry all the water.

There's 40% that are

just bureaucrats doing the minimum, and the other half are just

largely useless,

more interested in

sports scores and chasing the females on the advanced team.

So it's that bad.

So a house cleaning is certainly necessary, like with every federal agency, which has become hyper-bloated, hyper-unresponsive, hyper-unaccountable.

And it just speaks to, this is a microcosm of our greater national security apparatus of how bloated and ineffective it has become.

If Donald Trump offered you and let's say Gavin DeBecker the opportunity to go through and audit and make recommendations like he's talking with RFK

with healthcare and

health and human services and

with Tulsi, I hope with the Pentagon,

would you serve

on a real panel?

I mean,

the only two that I would trust would be you and Gavin DeBecker.

I don't know how you feel about Gavin.

I don't think I've ever met him, but I've heard great things about him.

Look,

I am all in for America, and I will do whatever part I'm asked to play.

But

just re-vetting with...

Here's the other thing.

I understand last week, I even saw Senator Blumenthal from Connecticut, not a right-wing Republican, talking about a whistleblower about the agent in charge from Homeland Security in Butler, Pennsylvania, had failed some significant tests and was waived through the process anyway by the former director.

So, again, waiving and

looking the other way on incompetence is exactly what I'm talking about.

And that needs to be rooted out with a very, very stiff steel broom.

I'm talking to

Steve Friend, who's a whistleblower from the FBI office in Florida, and get his point of view.

Right now,

we're talking to Eric Prince,

who made a pretty good prediction just about a month or two ago about

what was going to happen.

Have you been in touch with Ron DeSantis?

No, but I kind of called him out on Twitter last night, and I hope to speak to some of his staff.

Good.

Good.

Eric, if there's ever anything that you think needs to be heard, please call us and thank you so much for all of your work and insight.

Appreciate it.

You too, Glenn.

Be well.

You bet.

Eric Prince, host of Off Leash, which is a podcast, a retired U.S.

Navy state SEAL,

and

I think one of the guys who really gets it and would know how to fix it.

We have to start getting out of this pool of the government.

We have to start getting people like who are absolute experts in this field, know where, know how it should be done, that can go in, like Elon Musk.

Elon Musk should be going through with a red pen through all of the budgets.

And by the way,

I was going to do a show today on the budgets.

If you think any of this stuff happening in Colorado or happening in Ohio, any of the chaos in the streets, if you've ever wondered, geez, how are they affording

these hotels in New York?

You've paid for it.

And it was in a bill that was passed right after

Joe Biden was elected to help the economy.

All of this has been planned.

And we'll tell you about it on tomorrow's program.

We were going to do it today, but unfortunately, the...

Somebody again tried to assassinate the president.

All right, back in just a second.

Let me tell tell you about relief factor sleep.

You know, there are nights when sleep comes incredibly easy to me.

And then there are nights when, you know, you're a little preoccupied with, I don't know,

what could possibly be in the news.

Or I'm back up at the ranch.

I have a speech to give on Wednesday.

And

so I'm up at the ranch this weekend.

I was with the president this weekend.

And I couldn't sleep last night because my wife isn't with me.

And I hate it when my wife isn't with me.

I just don't sleep well.

Good thing there's something called Z Factor.

Z Factor, it is 100% natural.

It's not something that's going to drag you out the next morning.

I mean, I am completely clear-headed right now, and I took it last night, and it doesn't affect you.

It just helps you sleep through the night.

Z Factor uses a formula for all natural ingredients to calm your mind, relax your body, so you can ease into sleep faster and sleep right through the night.

It works for me.

So rediscover the great joy of a great night's sleep with Z Factor.

Get the best sleep you've ever had.

Hey, Glenn, just a little bit of encouraging news here as you're talking to Eric Prince and doing an interview.

I know you can't watch everything that's going on, but we have now gone

about 23 minutes at least since an ACT Blue donorist tried to assassinate Donald Trump.

So wow, we've been none in the last 20 minutes.

What an accomplishment.

We are going in the right direction.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's great.

And when you say ACT Blue donor, do you mean ones that just gave a small amount or ones that they have used that gave a small amount to cover up illegal donations?

Which one is it?

Always hard to keep track of because the website seems to be designed to make it difficult to keep track of it.

Okay, well,

that's fantastic.

So

I guess I want to, you know, the

cat grilling thing?

The cat grilling thing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know how people said they were grilling cats.

Oh, I mean, I've never heard they were grilling cats.

I've heard they were eating them.

There was never any discussion on the

recipe.

They weren't eating or seasoning or anything.

Okay, so Christopher Ruffo went out and he tracked down.

There was one video that showed somebody grilling a cat

on a blue barbecue.

That's, I think, what started it all, really.

He found it, he tracked it down.

It was in Dayton, Ohio.

So

it was not Springfield.

It was Dayton, but it was in Ohio.

And it was with an immigrant.

And here's the video that he was tracking down.

Do we have this?

Yo,

what is this they got on the grill?

Man, let's see.

They go a cat right there.

His ass better get missing, man.

Look like his homies on the grill, man.

What the f ⁇ ?

Okay, so that's kind of what started it all.

So Christopher Ruffo came out and he said, I want to find it.

so he geolocated the video uh he went out to ohio found it in dayton uh found the blue barbecue just exactly the same in the back uh went to the door there were several people living them all migrants uh and they were like yeah they these guys left but they were grilling all kinds of stuff up there they were it was not good so we verified that at least one migrant was grilling some cats.

According to their what, roommates?

Yeah, some people that lived in the same building.

Okay, there you go.

So in case you were hungry,

you do have the video.

I mean, I don't know what that was other than a cat.

It certainly looked like a cat on the grill, I will say.

Yeah, it did.

It did.

So I don't know what else that was, but apparently

that's from Christopher Ruffo, so you can count on that.

At least one of these stories has been tracked down.

But back to the real news,

you know, because media has told us that was fake news for the last week.

So nothing to that cat grilling story, except the cat-grilling story is true.

More in a minute.

Steve Friend

from the FBI

in Florida.

He's a whistleblower.

He was kicked out because he didn't like what was happening there.

But don't worry, you're going to love the guy in charge there.

He'll tell us all about him.

First, let me tell you about Lear Capital.

Did you see the price of gold this weekend?

Can you check what it is?

Price of gold was, I think, $2,600 last time I checked.

Maybe it was Friday or Saturday.

Yeah, we're working our way up to $3,000.

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

Nothing to fear there.

$3,000 an ounce for gold?

That doesn't say that the world is on fire.

Listen.

Before things get out of hand,

really out of hand, please, I beg of you, prepare all of the things that you need to prepare.

One of those things is get some gold or some silver.

Okay, silver right now is at

a decent price where anybody can pretty much afford it.

Get some.

Don't have all of your money in dollars.

Please.

Call Lear Capital.

I want to give you the number right now.

You call Lear Capital.

The number is 800-957-GOLD.

800-957-GOL.

This whole thing, let's just talk politics here for a second.

This whole thing is going to come down to two states, I believe.

It's going to come down to Nevada and Arizona.

If Trump can win Nevada and Arizona, he wins.

But he has to win Nevada and Arizona.

You disagree with that, Stu?

I mean, you know, he's got to do well elsewhere, but he cannot lose those two states.

He cannot lose them.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, those are key states.

I mean, he's going to need Pennsylvania along with them, but that is a huge part of the package for sure.

And,

you know, he told me Saturdays at Glenn, the Constitution is hanging by a thread.

What is it going to take?

And

I just, I think now is the time for good people to stand up and

save the Constitution.

And you can do that.

You know, in those two states, if he gets 2%

more,

he's the winner.

And

we have to do everything we can to spread the word and get the word out and get people to the polls.

I know it's corrupt,

but if you, if we all,

well, we'll get into this more tomorrow, but we all have to stand together.

I mean, when I was with Roseanne, RFK, Tulsi Gabbard,

Jordan Peterson, all on the same call on Saturday, it was very clear to me that there is a new movement of people who don't necessarily agree on everything, but agree on saving the Constitution.

You've got to put your personal differences aside.

We've got to stand together because it's hanging by a thread right now.

All right.

Let me talk to Steve Friend.

Steve is a whistleblower with the FBI.

They have made his life miserable, but he doesn't care.

He's doing the right thing.

He's one of the good guys that you used to see

and you used to believe that existed in places like the FBI.

He really is that guy.

True blue, cares about the country and the Constitution.

He blew the whistle on

the FBI in Florida when they went full SWAT on Mar-Lago, which we know now was absolutely unnecessary and way out of protocol.

Steve is with us now because I wanted to get him on because the guy who authorized that and then dummied evidence up is the guy in charge now of the FBI's investigation of this shooter.

How good does that make you feel, Steve?

Oh, well, I mean, it actually goes a little bit deeper than that, Glenn.

This is probably going to need the

old chalkboard out here to explain it to the audience.

But this is Mr.

Jeffrey Beltree.

And for your audience's edification, before he assumed his post in FBI Miami as a special agent in charge, he was the deputy assistant director of the security division for the FBI.

That's the branch that's going after the whistleblowers.

And from that post, he actually

said that

whistleblowers that they were looking to purge from the ranks were people who were military veterans because he thought that they were disloyal,

as well as people who attended regular religious worship ceremonies and opposed the coronavirus vaccine.

And then when the word came down, he was going to go to to the FBI Miami office, Christopher Wray and Deputy Director Paula Bate

and Executive Assistant Director Jen Moore, also another person who was involved in getting rid of all the whistleblowers, said that he had to cleanse his Facebook account of all the anti-Trump vitriol that he publicly put out there.

And now he's in a position of authority in my FBI Miami office, and that is the office that has the responsibility for investigating this latest assassination attempt.

So you think the guy who wanted to purge the FBI of military people, religious people, and Trump supporters might not do an honest investigation?

Is that what I'm hearing, Steve?

Well, I mean, throwing out a little sarcasm here, Glenn, but at the same time, I mean, this is the...

This is the agency that looked at the 2017 congressional baseball shooting where a Bernie Sanders supporter showed up, asked were other Republicans, and then proceeded to try to kill 10% of the Republican caucus.

And the FBI investigated said that was not a sin assassination attempt.

That was suicide by cop.

Steve, what has to happen to the FBI?

I was, unfortunately,

I made a statement right after my wife called me and she said, have you heard the news?

And I said, oh, dear God, what?

And she said, they tried to kill the president again.

And then I had people asking me for comments and everything else.

So I rushed to X, I shouldn't have, and

made a statement that was just raw.

And then

Spaces asked me to come on and make another statement.

And that was even more raw.

And I shouldn't have done it.

I was really, really upset at this.

But at some point after I had calmed down in the interview, I said,

we have to fumigate all of the federal government.

I mean, if you really wanted to do this right, to return it to factory settings, you have to shut it down and restart again.

You know, turn it on and turn it back off, turn it off and turn it back on again and restore the factory settings to the Constitution.

These things have to be fumigated.

They just have to be

out.

All of these people need to be fired, even the good ones, because we don't know who's good and bad, and we have to start from scratch.

Is that what it's going to take, Steve?

100%.

And this goes back to when we were first introduced a couple of years ago, and I told you that one of my greatest concerns was that the FBI was going to be one of the major contributors to the boiling pot.

They continue to raise the temperature and have this factionalization that's happened within the country.

And the FBI has convinced half of one side that the other half wants to kill them because they're Nazi terrorists and extremists.

And the FBI has just followed suit.

They've become more and more politicized.

And if you did not know anything else, and I'm done talking about the good men and women of the FBI, if you don't know anything else about the FBI, and I told you, as an American taxpayer, are you willing to give $12 billion to an organization which in 2016 took a fake dossier to open a fake panel intelligence investigation of candidate and then eventual President Trump, opened illegal FISA wiretaps, then used those FISA wiretaps to find out in 2020 about the ne'er-do-well son of then candidate Joe Biden having a laptop that was already in the FBI's possession, and they stood idly by as 51 intelligence officials said that it was Russian disinformation, and then went to social media companies and told them to censor that information, essentially to generate a talking point for a presidential debate.

You would say, that's a secret police force.

That is the death of the Republic.

We have to control or delete it.

Let me ask you, did you see Merrick Garland's speech last week?

I did, unfortunately, but I was grateful that Tulsi Gabbard reached out to me and highlighted the fact that this is a completely broken and weaponized Department of Justice that should also be on the chalking block.

Tulsi Gabbard has just been so great.

I just love her.

You know, I saw her say it was hard not to laugh if it wasn't so true.

But

this speech that he gave last week that they are on the up and up, that there's no corruption, and he won't hear of the good men and women of the Justice Department.

This is,

you have to be insane,

Steve.

You have to be insane to believe what this government is telling you now about all of these things.

Well, I mean, you have half of the country that's convinced that the other half is radical and rabid, and they've been told that for the last eight years because they had prefer the Republican candidate for president in the last three presidential elections.

And the Department of Justice is the teeth on the attack dog, and they are sending out their forces, their stormtroopers in force to go after the perceived political enemies of the current administration.

And that includes 89-year-old women who are concentration camp survivors that were praying outside of abortion clinics.

And it includes guys like my friend Garrett O'Boyle, who came forward for the right reason at the right time and made a nonpartisan whistleblower disclosure and was recommended for perjury charges when, in effect, there's actual concrete evidence that that was not true.

And I was grateful also that Ewilberth Blaise, Joe Hanneman, and Steve Baker contributed to his story, highlighting that last week.

Did you see what Robert F.

Kennedy said on Saturday?

He's now being investigated

for something that happened 20 years ago.

He said, I received a letter from the National Marine Fisheries Institute saying that they were investigating me for collecting a whale specimen 20 years ago.

Now, how does that happen?

I mean, at this time, if it isn't isn't the weaponization of government?

It doesn't.

And this is just more evidence.

And I don't know what it's going to require to incentivize our elected officials to actually come to the conclusion that going after RFK, going after an 89-year-old concentration camp survivor, for them to say that we have to avert a government shutdown is effectively saying that it is a better outcome.

for the government to go after individuals like RFK rather than have us go through a temporary, partial government shutdown that looked a lot like Labor Day weekend.

And I think the American people, I don't know how many of them perished over that weekend due to the government being shut down partially, but I think it's more of an optimal solution.

And it just hasn't been put forward by the people that we elected and they pledged to us that they would end weaponization.

And it hasn't happened in the two years that they've been at the town.

Can you tell me, Steve, last question?

What are the questions that have to be answered on this shooting?

I want to know how an individual was posted up at a golf course because there's no reason that he would be out there expecting it unless he was out there every single day.

So there's either some sort of operational security issue or there was some sort of coordination.

I was willing and actually of the belief that Butler, Pennsylvania, was due to the myth of competence of the Secret Service.

They just hadn't been tested for four decades.

They had lots of failures that always went on.

But the fact that this guy was able to be there at a time when Donald Trump, who doesn't play golf there every single day, he would not have.

No, no, no.

And it was not on his schedule.

I mean, it was not on his schedule that he be at Marlogo, although you could have made that it was a reasonable, you know, he has a day off from the campaign.

It's a reasonable assumption.

But him playing golf, that CNN has now verified that was a last-minute addition.

So how did this guy know that?

That is a huge question.

As it also is the fact that that's a regular location for him to go.

And since he's been in

public office for the last almost decade now, you would think there would be additional security measures there.

That's just regular threat assessment to harden that place.

It's not like he was at Augusta National or TPC Sawgrass, one another entirely different golf course.

That's his regular place.

And they did not do that.

So that's a security failure.

But the fact that he was able to be there at that time and that place, and what people don't understand is three to five hundred yards.

If you're playing golf, that's far.

If you're shooting a rifle, that's barely reaching out and touching someone by the nose.

Thank you very much, Steve.

I appreciate it.

Thank you for everything you've done.

A man who's been dragged through the mud and made his life made a living hell just because he stood up in the FBI and said, no, this is wrong.

I won't do that.

A whistleblower, extraordinaire, Steve Friend.

Thank you so much, Steve.

Let me tell you about our sponsor.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Listen.

I think we all know

I mean, if you've listened to me for a while and you are paying attention to the actual news,

you know that it is going to this is threading the eye of a needle at about 400 miles an hour in a wind tunnel

this is going to be extraordinarily difficult and we will not make it without God we won't

I

I know I've said this to you recently but I

I

feel overwhelmed to tell you

prophecy will be fulfilled.

I feel compelled to tell you, you will see miracles in your day.

You've already seen a miracle.

That first shooting of Donald Trump, that was a miracle, gang.

You can call it whatever you want, but that was God doing his part.

Now it's up for us to do our part.

And

I

so regretted my

we cannot react in anger.

And I was so angry yesterday.

And

I said some things on X that I shouldn't have said.

Not because they weren't right, but because they were in anger.

And

we can't do that.

And we also

cannot say,

well, I can't see how he's going to win because of the cheating.

I can't see how we didn't see Donald Trump's brains all over a 4K broadcast two months ago.

But it happened.

Our job is to do our job.

He'll do his.

You do yours.

We cannot be, we can't defeat this whole thing by saying, well, I, you know, I can't see how he's going to win anyway.

I mean, it's going to be stolen anyway.

That is an enemy whispering lies in your head.

You must go out and vote.

You must get everyone in your circle of friends to go out and vote.

We will try to help you with the information that we can give you in the next few days to help sway your friends, but get people out to vote.

Between now and when you vote in November, you can vote with your wallet.

And it is important that you do that.

It is important that we start supporting people who share our values.

And when I say our values, I mean American values.

I mean the values that every Democrat, my grandfather was a Democrat.

He was one of the greatest men I know.

He was a Democrat.

My grandmother, who I love dearly, was a Democrat.

We disagreed with things in our family, but we still were family.

Because we all came back after politics, we all came back to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

When I say we got to start coming together, we have to come together on those things.

And the people at American Giant know those things.

And they are trying to rebuild America by building American manufacturing.

Every bit of clothing that they make is 100% American, all the way down to the ink, the thread, the sewers, the cutters, all of it

with a quality that lasts.

if we're gonna survive.

and hold the line.

We are entering

a new time.

Anybody who is paying attention

knows that.

I've never in my lifetime seen

something so close to being a John F.

Kennedy moment as the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

I have seen an assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan.

It either history shows it comes from one of three groups.

Either crazies, John Hinckley,

or

wound-up

communists,

anarchists, socialists.

Comes from from the left,

or it comes from

Palestinian zealots.

That's just a fact.

We have all of those zealots at a zenith of power right now,

and they are wound tight as a drum.

Our media doesn't really care.

When they targeted, yeah, and I use that word, when they targeted Sarah Palin

for using the word targeted, we're targeting these districts,

when Gabby Giffords was shot, they made a really big deal out of it.

I mean, do you remember what they put her through?

But now they don't seem to care at all about their language.

Now, after two assassination attempts,

here is the, we put a montage together of their rhetoric against Donald Trump for the last few years.

Listen to this.

Cut two, please.

When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?

Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?

I believe that Trump poses a fundamental threat to America.

Trump is as destructive a person in this century as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were in the last century.

President Trump is dangerous to America and the future of America.

We need to articulate the fact that Donald Trump is a danger to America.

He must go.

He is a clear and present danger to the nation.

Donald Trump is a fascist leader and he's mobilizing his forces.

Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation.

He's a threat to our freedom.

He's a threat to our democracy.

He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and

he has to be eliminated.

The essential threat to the United States of America is Donald Trump.

I see Trump as a danger to our democracy, and I see him as a self-proclaimed fascist.

Trump is an existential threat to the future of America.

David Aronovich, who presents Radio 4's briefing room show, took to X forward slash Twitter and wrote, if I was Biden, I'd hurry it up and have Trump murdered on the basis that he is a threat to America's security.

So there's assassination attempt number one after years of indoctrination that he is Hitler.

If you really believe he's Hitler,

I mean, people have,

you know, played that little game even when we were kids.

You know, If you could go back and assassinate Hitler as a baby, would you do it?

Of course I do it.

Well, here's Hitler about to take power.

If you listen to them, that's what you believe.

So of course you're going to wind up nut jobs to go out and try to shoot.

Now,

they immediately said, after the last assassination attempt, They said, we've got a, you know, will will anybody, you know, tone down the rhetoric?

Well, let's see.

Did they tone down the rhetoric?

This is the rhetoric since the first assassination.

Yeah, we're here to say, fuck Trump, fuck MAGA, the whole agenda, old fascist.

What do you think about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump?

I said, it was this close.

We could have went in a timeline.

Will Trump would be dead?

And for me, that would have been okay.

It's too bad.

The bandage was just over his ear.

It should have been over his mouth.

I think with every fabric of my body, that Donald Trump represents a threat to the Constitution of the United States.

Look, are they a threat to democracy?

Yes.

Are they going to take our rights away?

Yes.

And his threats

against democracy, I think it's important to

turn the page.

He will focus on Donald Trump's threat to American democracy.

He feels very strongly that Donald Trump is a threat to our democracy.

So Donald Trump was recently shot at one of his rallies.

How do you feel about that?

I wish he would have gotten shot in the forehead.

Donald Trump is dangerous, and because he's dangerous, Project 2025 is dangerous.

Right now I feel like MAGA in general, they are threats to us domestically and we see it time and time again.

Okay so that's them toning things down.

Yesterday

just before the news broke Kamala Harris was speaking at a rally

and she said Donald Trump must never again be allowed to stand behind a microphone

or the seal of the President of the United States.

Now you could say when she said, stand behind the seal of the President of the United States, that she was just saying that we can't allow him to be elected.

Go out and get the vote.

But for a man to never be allowed to stand behind a microphone, How exactly do you do that?

Do you throw him in prison?

Oh yeah, they're trying to do that.

Or do you just kill him?

And I would say, yeah, they're trying to do that as well.

How did they respond yesterday?

Let's go to cut three.

Here's MSNBC.

Yesterday.

The streamization of the other side, where we simply, you know, it's no longer politics.

It's gotten bigger than that.

The,

The calls for violence, the violence

rhetoric that, and then you look at what happens.

And

this heated rhetoric can only go so far before, unfortunately,

it has led to violence on both sides of the aisle.

And so I think it's just something that Democrats and Republicans have to.

Can I just ask you, can I just let me just ask you a question?

So

are you saying that Donald Trump

is ratcheting up the rhetoric

which then his people use to go and try to kill him?

Because that doesn't make any sense.

He's ratcheting up the rhetoric.

No, I've heard him talk about facts.

I've heard him talk about facts like

she grew up a Marxist and she's lying to you.

And if you had a non-state press, which ABC is now, you have to stop thinking of these people as press.

They are one in the same.

They are Pravda.

They are a government propaganda arm.

That is clear.

If you would have had a fair debate,

You would have had a few things corrected.

But what was happening?

Well, what happened in that debate was exactly what Kamala Harris said would happen, but she accused Donald Trump of being the one that would do it.

She said, you're going to hear nothing but name-calling.

You're going to hear lies and smears.

And that's exactly what she did the whole time, because her

whole strategy was to piss him off.

I don't know if name-calling counts when you just say somebody's weak, you're weak, you're weak, you're pathetic, you're weak.

She was egging him on.

Now, if that's the person that wants to be the leader of the free world,

oh, that's interesting.

That's interesting.

Now, you can say, well, Donald Trump did that.

Yes, but you hated that when he did it.

So why are you allowing, why have you gone down to his level

if that's what you think?

Well, it's the only way to win.

Oh, so you believe the ends justify the means?

I don't believe that.

I don't like things that Donald Trump said, has said in the past.

I don't hear him say these things anymore.

I think the man has changed.

I know him.

I would consider him a friend now.

I didn't like him at first.

Well, actually, I liked him at first, and then I thought he was playing me, which he wasn't.

I really thought he was playing me.

I have learned that's who this guy is.

And then,

what did he do?

He got into office.

And what did he do?

He made America better.

He ended the wars.

He was unwinding things rationally.

He was exposing the lies

of the deep state that you now know exists.

I mean, the whole Russian collusion thing, even the media has mentioned it, that it was a lie.

They're still giving you the same crap.

They're still talking to the same insiders in the intelligence community tell us.

They're still using the same sources, but they had to admit that, yes, those sources were lying.

So while they said that he was a Russian asset, while they said that he was doing all kinds of things that he shouldn't have been doing, nothing was ever proven.

In fact, you know the guy who came out on the perfect phone call, Ukraine, that everybody just loves so much?

He was the perfect whistleblower.

Vinmin.

Oh my gosh, he was great.

We got to listen to Vinmin, right?

Right?

We have to listen to him, right?

You know, his brother is running for office in

Virginia.

His brother, Vinman.

You vote for Vinman, you know, you should have your head examined.

But Vinman

actually came out, the wife of Vinman, came out this weekend and said, carry on with your Sunday afternoon.

No ears

were harmed.

That was her response.

She doubled down

after

a congressman came out and said, you know, that's probably not the right thing to do.

You probably shouldn't vote for the brother.

She doubled down.

She said, I condemn you.

I condemn your lack of integrity, your attacks on immigrants, your desecration of Arlington National Cemetery.

Really?

I was with the families this weekend.

I was with them.

I was with them.

I want you to meet them.

They're amazing.

They're not.

anti-Democrat, anti-Republican, anti-anything.

They are just pro-the-truth.

And they have been smeared and destroyed.

And they asked Donald Trump to go to Arlington National Cemetery.

They asked him.

He did.

These people are

nuts.

And, you know, many, maybe many of our families have been infected by this.

But

I urge you not to, I urge you, before you concentrate on anybody else, concentrate on yourself.

Clean out your own house.

Make sure that your house is in order.

Make sure that you have nothing that you are doing that is against,

you know, common sense, against the teachings of Christ.

Clean it all out.

Whatever you're doing, stop it right now.

Clean it out.

Finish it.

Put it in the past.

Repent.

And prepare yourself.

Have to.

I firmly believe, and I, you know, everybody said this from the dawn of time,

and they've been wrong every time.

So I'm most likely wrong.

Probably 99% chance I'm wrong.

But I think the Lord is coming.

And

you have to choose which side you're on.

I'm not on Donald Trump's side.

I'm on the Lord's side.

And the Lord will use anyone as flawed as they are if they just will stand up.

Just stand up and protect what is right.

No matter how flawed they are, Martin Luther King was a very flawed man.

He stood up and did what was right.

This guy is not going to stop.

He doesn't need it for his family.

He doesn't certainly need it for his business.

He doesn't need it for money.

He doesn't need it for fame.

Why the hell is this guy running?

Why the hell is this guy?

They tried to kill him now twice, almost killed him the first time, and he stood up and looked at the audience and said, fight.

Yesterday, his response was, I just going to play through.

No, Mr.

President, we need to get you off the golf course.

Why?

Back in a minute.

as the American Constitution hangs by a thread, when are you going to recognize the times in which we live?

What is it going to take to stand up?

What is it going to take?

How many lies and deception do you have to be,

have to be worked on you that are now provable

before you go, wait a minute,

I think

I might have been lied to.

Yes, you have been lied to.

I'm going to show you some evidence in the next couple of days about this immigrant thing.

We think that this, you know, all the crime that's going on,

all of the money that's now having to be spent on food and hotel rooms and everything else, that that is a

flaw in the system.

They didn't know what they were doing.

And now, look at the trouble we're having.

And now, maybe, is everybody going to go broke?

No.

No,

that wasn't a flaw.

That was a feature.

That's a feature.

And I'll prove it to you in the next few days.

You have to open your eyes and your ears and you have to love and have compassion for others to the point to where

I was talking to Roseanne Barr this weekend.

We were on X on Spaces.

I had never talked to her before.

And so, you know,

she said to me, you know, thanks for standing up for me on, you know, when I was kicked off of ABC and we started talking about that.

And

I had said that, you know, this was a cabal that was

really running everything.

It is, it's a, it's corporations, it's the United Nations, the WEF,

all of the...

the global elites all coming together.

And, you know, that's what it is.

And I want you to hear what she said.

Everyone will play the game, or you're out.

This is ESG.

This is what this whole thing is turning into.

In three weeks, they're going to

try to make it official through the UN.

And they've already made it official in the EU.

And that's about to affect our own companies here in the United States and the entire West.

It is a cabal.

Roseanne?

Yeah, I think it is.

I don't know if cabal is the right word.

It's people use it, I know, but it's something even more nefarious than that needs to be used.

But

how would you explain it?

How would you explain whatever it is behind the season?

It's just different people are explaining it in different ways.

For me, I just look at it as

those that are unelected that have a lot more influence than many of us anticipate or would like them to have.

Well, it's a corporateocracy.

And

remember that movie, Network?

Yes.

Ned Beatty had a great speech in that movie where he said, there are no nations, there are only corporations, you know, and I think that that's what it is.

There are only corporations.

And what's funny is that corporations are the least democratic thing in the world.

You can be fired for any reason,

you know, and hired for any reason and and used for any reason, it's anything but democratic.

So it's funny that they use the word democracy all the time, corporateocracy.

But

it is

organized crime.

It's a mafia.

It's a worldwide mafia.

And it goes to the top of everything.

She's exactly right.

It is a mafia.

And anybody who thinks that the Biden-Harris administration cares about

security for these candidates, they're still doing the law fare against anybody else that's running as a Democrat, trying to get them off the ballot.

And as soon as RFK threw his support behind Donald Trump, remember, he's still a candidate for president.

He's still on the ballots.

Joe Biden reversed the executive order.

And so he has no protection at all.

I was talking to RFK about this also this weekend.

Here's what he said.

There's pretty good speculation that the military-industrial complex was, you know, wanting him to die,

JFK, because of his stance on de-escalation, et cetera, et cetera.

And I see the same thing happening now.

I see the military-industrial complex, because so many conservatives have at least learned the lesson of these endless wars don't do anything but make more enemies.

And so the conservatives and the constitutionalists are now saying, I'm not interested in any of that.

And now the military industrial complex has moved over to the Democratic Party.

They sound like warmongers.

And I think they are going to start this war one way or another, whether Donald Trump is elected or not.

And it may happen.

I mean, it could happen in days, if not weeks or months.

And I'm wondering if he sees the parallel between

his uncle and Donald Trump in these days.

It feels the same.

Can you hear me?

Yes, you can.

Yes, yes, yes.

All right.

Yeah.

And I think, I don't know if you heard what I was saying, but the same thing happened 1963 during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

And, you know,

we've held that status quo for all of these years.

And now we're putting missiles on the Russian border.

We have promised in 1962 when the Russians took down the walls and allowed us to reunite Germany under a NATO army.

They moved out 450,000 Russian troops from their base, and NATO troops moved in.

So it was this extraordinary historic concession.

And the one thing Gorbachev said is,

I'm going to allow this, but I need a promise from John Major, from George Bush, from the European leaders, you will never move NATO further to the east.

James Baker, the Secretary of State, famously promised Gorbachev, we will not move NATO one inch to the east.

Well, since then, we've moved it a thousand miles to the east.

We've taken over 14 countries.

And of course, the Russians feel threatened.

This is a security issue, and this is not what we're being told.

And

You know, I don't think the Russians will use a nuclear weapon.

I think the reason they wouldn't, they've got better nuclear weapons than us.

They've got 1,200 more warheads and missiles than us.

Their electronic warfare is a generation ahead of us, which means their capacity to defend themselves against U.S.

missiles is much better than what we have.

But I think they're just more restrained.

And they're being, you know, they're the adults in the room at this point.

And they're not going to use them.

But they're, if, but Gorbachev or Putin has said,

if we get hit with a NATO missile, it is an act of war.

And we are now at war with NATO.

So this is insane.

And I don't think he needs to use missiles.

There's a hundred things that he can do

now in non-conventional warfare that will absolutely devastate our country.

He could shut down our GPS systems.

They have these extraordinary electronic warfare capabilities, which will bring our country and our economy to a halt.

The conversation that I was a part of on Saturday was with Jordan Peterson and Tulsi Gabbard, RFK,

Roseanne, Brett Weinstein,

Weinstein, who was doing incredible things.

We have to have him on tomorrow.

But

it was a group of people that really didn't really belong together, you know.

At least I felt like kind of like, how am I at this table?

For a myriad of reasons.

But

the one thing that we talked about was

there is a movement to come together.

There is a movement now of

die-hard Democrats who have always been.

I mean, RFK is an icon.

You have

Alan Dershowitz, a Democratic icon.

Brent Weinstein, a guy who was a leftist professor at Portland University.

You have

Tulsi Gabbard, who ran for president as a Democrat.

These are not wishy-washy people.

These are not people that, you know, do, you know, look at the Republican Party or look at Donald Trump and say, yeah, well, I was always really kind of.

No, they weren't.

They never were.

And what are they all saying?

This party is so corrupt.

It is so far out of bounds.

It is so far

over the

bounds of the Constitution

that I cannot be a part of it anymore.

That's not just happening at the upper scale.

I'm convinced that is happening and people don't want to talk about it, but I'm convinced that's happening at the lower end as well.

Between the economy and

the lawlessness on our streets, the direction that we're headed, nobody thinks this is a good thing.

Nobody, nobody.

You want more of this?

If you look at what the direction that we're going right now

and you look at it honestly,

it's really clear

the

path.

But I think a lot of our friends and neighbors have been

duped

and

they are under a spell.

And it's happened before in history.

It has.

How do you make the, you know,

one of the best

police forces in the country at the time,

the Polish police force, how do you get them on day one to go out and just murder people in the forest?

How do you do that?

The same way that

we're as lost as we are.

And

it is a it's a well-orchestrated machine.

It is a well-designed lie.

And it is human nature.

Where do you go?

This is why we have a republic and not a democracy.

Where do you go when the local police have gone bad?

If the local police are bad, you go to the state police.

If the the state police are bad,

you go to the governor and hope that the governor and the attorney general are not bad.

If they're bad, you go to the federal government.

You go to the FBI.

If the FBI is bad, you go to the President.

If the President is bad,

you go to the Press.

If the Press is bad,

where

do you

go?

This is what's facing

many Americans who believe

that

this government is corrupt, who have seen, has seen the evidence, I don't know how you deny it, has seen the evidence of

the scale

of

corruption and destruction, the scale of the evil that is going on.

This is what they feel now because they've gone to the government.

They've gone to the press.

The press is in on it.

Where do you go?

When you are in that position, you feel helpless and you feel like, well, I got to go to my guns.

That's what the Second Amendment was all about.

And by the way, I'm speaking to the right who has not gone to their guns.

They have not

gone out in anger.

You could say January 6th, but I'd like to talk to you about January 6th at some point.

But let's give you January 6th.

That's it.

So people might start to feel like this is all we have to, you know, this is the only option left.

No, no.

Where do you turn when you can't turn to anyone in the government from local to national and you don't have the press to be the watchdog?

You do exactly what Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr.

and all of the other Democrats that are coming around right now.

You trust each other.

You go to your fellow American

and you say, look, we have differences, but you and I agree this is corrupt.

We have to band together, work together, and end this.

That's the good news.

You don't need violence.

We need to unite with the people who we don't agree on everything,

but we all know this is corrupt and it must end.

Back in a minute.

You know,

I was with the families of the 13 of Abbey Gate that died, and, you know, they've never really recognized the families.

They've been abused.

And then

Kamala Harris said, and for the first time ever, we don't have a single person in a combat zone.

I don't know if you've seen the video of the guys in combat zones going, wait a minute, what about us?

What does that mean?

Who are we then?

What are we doing?

If they can't even recognize current

soldiers on duty, you think they care about any of it?

We have to fill the gap here.

And that's what Tunnel to Towers does.

t2t.org t the number2t.org when there is a fallen serviceman when there is somebody who is catastrophically injured when there is a local police officer that loses his life in the line of duty when there is a a fireman that loses his life in a fire fighting that fire that's where t2t comes in tunnel to towers takes the burden of the mortgage off of the family's plate.

So they're not just mourning and having to think, what are we going to do at the end of the month?

That's taken care of.

And that happens because of you.

Would you help?

t2t.org.

This is an organization that I really trust.

I have seen the audits.

I think they have an A

rating.

95 cents plus of every dollar goes right directly to the people that are hurting.

t2t.org just donate $11 a month if you could.

So, there's a couple of things that you need to know.

Yesterday, right before Donald Trump was shot, Kamala Harris said this man should not be allowed to ever stand behind a microphone again or the seal of the President of the United States.

I don't know.

Those seem like insightful, I'm sorry, inciting words.

And then David Fromm, in all of his fromness, came out and said, Trump and his running mate have spent the last week successfully inciting violence in Springfield, Ohio.

Really, did they?

They pointed out that a video was made and people are claiming in 911 calls that people were eating geese and cats.

That's not inciting violence.

That's stating that we should look into something because 911 calls have been made.

Just like he's using as evidence that he's inciting violence, there was a bomb threat called in to 911

over the weekend.

No bomb, no verification, don't know anything about it.

What?

We're supposed to believe that one, but not the other one from?

I don't get it.

And then he's also saying that they're trying to present themselves as near victims of violence.

I would say go to hell, but I think that's for God to say.

So I'm not going to say that.

Near victims?

He wasn't a victim.

He wanted to play through.

He wanted to play through.

He's not a victim.
