You're listening to

the best of the Blenbeck program.

Megan Kelly.

Welcome to the program.

How are you, Megan?

Enraged, angry,

just in disbelief at what our industry has become.

It was state-run media.

I mean,

for her to go in and say so many lies,

that proves this is state-run media.

She knew she could get away with saying lie after lie after lie after lie.

I've never seen anything like it.

And no corrections.

I could have lived with that.

Politicians lie all the time.

But the one-sided, quote, fact-checking

was so outrageous.

I would have been fine if they had done what CNN did, which is just be quiet.

Dana Bash and Jake Tapper did not try to fact check the candidates.

They let them do that to each other, which is totally appropriate at a presidential debate.

It's actually the way it should be.

It's not our job to set the record straight.

The only time you should weigh in as the moderator is if the integrity of your question is attacked, right?

Like they're attacking the underlying foundation for what you're asking.

As for the answer, that's for the other candidate to do.

And these ABC news moderators didn't understand that, or they just didn't care.

CNN actually got hammered by the left for doing that.

The left wanted them to get out there and criticize Donald Trump and say, oh, no, you said this and that's wrong and so on.

And ABC News clearly watched that and said, oh, well, that can't be us.

We've got a pander to our base.

And so they only fact-checked him.

Their fact-checks were incorrect.

and or were opinion.

And then you had the assist by the rest in the media and back to CNN and this absolute Cretan named Daniel Dale, whose fact check after the fact was that Trump lied 33 times

and she lied once.

What?

Yes.

What was the one he picked?

Was it like a lottery?

You put all the lies into a little basket and you whirl it around, mix them up.

B17.

What was the lie?

He didn't make that clear, but I'm going to guess because on Twitter, he called her out for trying to claim that she had reversed her personal stance on fracking in 2020.

You know, she wanted to ban it.

And then in 2020, she's been claiming she said she didn't want to ban it, which isn't true.

In 2020, at the VP debate, she said Joe Biden will not ban it.

She has never reversed her stance on it.

But nothing about the Charlottesville both sides lies

about the

bloodbath.

About the 2025 nonsense,

about saying trump is against ivf nothing no that that's fine

so megan what she had to do last night was assure people that that hadn't seen her act presidential to appear to be strong tough uh and presidential did she do that for enough people

well

you added that phrase at at the end, which makes me say no for enough people.

I don't think there was a game changer last night.

I think most people will say she won the debate.

But here's what I saw.

I saw somebody who engaged in nothing but personal ad hominem attacks against Donald Trump throughout.

I mean, at every chance she could, she went low, insulted him personally.

And on that, he actually didn't take the bait.

He took debate on every other thing.

They were on the subject of immigration, and suddenly we're off talking about rally size and he went there.

Okay, so but on the personal attacks he didn't.

I saw somebody who couldn't control herself emotionally.

She was on screen right harumping, rolling her eyes, hand up on the chin, like, oh, aren't you so interesting?

I've never seen anybody actually put their hand up on the chin and rest their elbow on their other hand.

I mean, it was.

And let me tell you something.

Let me tell you something.

This country hasn't elected a female president in 250 years.

The person who's going to be number one is not going to be an emotionally unregulated, harumping, sighing, hysteric.

And that's how she appeared in the split screen for the first half an hour of the debate.

She got it under control later.

I cannot believe that the people sitting at home, and don't forget this election is coming down at the margins to men versus women.

Men are for Trump and women are for Kanama, that these men sitting at home are going to say,

I'm going to vote for her.

I can sit at home on election day and let her win.

I just think they're going to be motivated by

how extreme she is.

Yes, on policy, which Trump failed to point out last night, but her behavior.

She is not a strong leader.

She is the opposite of a Margaret Thatcher.

And I think her schoolgirl attacks on him personally, you know, trying to undermine the dignity of this man who served as president and was almost assassinated a month or two ago, and her eye rolling and so on, which telegraphed, I can't control myself, were a real turnoff.

Let me ask you,

I was personally offended,

and I can't imagine that the American people weren't.

When he was talking about how people are suffering and you can't afford, you know, the groceries at the grocery store, when she she laughed and rolled her eyes at that, I saw that and I'm like, oh my gosh,

you're in

such denial that that is happening or you just don't care.

Do you think that

did that play on you?

Yep, there was that moment she laughed and she laughed.

when he was raising what's happening in Springfield, Ohio.

She openly laughed.

As these poor people, you can accept the pets' testimonials or not.

They have not, in fact, been debunked.

You have one city manager who says he can't prove any of that.

He hasn't found the proof of it.

That does not mean it didn't happen.

Another totally inappropriate, quote, fact check by David Muir.

What we have here is a he said, she said situation.

It is not for the moderator to try to fix it.

But she laughed at it.

She rolled her eyes.

And what is she laughing at?

Immigration.

What's happening in our cities because of the minimum?

This is what's been documented.

10.4 million illegals who have come under her watch.

2.3 million under Trump's four years, 10.4 minimum, not counting gotaways, under hers.

And when the question is raised, look at what's happening to American cities because of it, she laughed.

You know who's not laughing?

The family of Lake and Riley, the family of that 12-year-old little girl who was murdered by illegals down at the southern border, who Trump went down and spent time with.

That's the kind of stuff Trump needed to raise and didn't.

But at a minimum, his team now today needs to be showing Kaklan Kamala back at it on the two worst issues for him: the economy and immigration.

Can you run for president?

You'd make a really good president.

You would.

You'd make a really good president.

Thank you.

I'm too happy happy a person for that.

So

you agree that Trump, she came out immediately, said, let's do another one.

I think he should say, sure, let's do five.

Yeah, oh, that would be amazing.

And here, and you know what they should say?

I'll do it, and I'll pick one moderator, and you pick the other.

Why don't they do that?

Don't give it to if Trump agrees to go another

mainstream and that's a fake term.

That is just a BS

What is mainstream about these people?

I think we should start calling them state media.

It's state media now.

I mean, truly, just as one example, but like, how many questions do we have on 2020 election denialism and so on?

And how many questions do we have about what's being done to young girls in this country and about

cutting off body parts of kids who are just confused because their parents got a divorce?

Not one.

They don't care.

They're in favor of that.

That's not mainstream.

So in any event, if he agrees to go back on the air and do a debate with another state-run media company, NBC, CBS, obviously, ABC's out and they ought to be out forever.

No Republican should ever agree to go back on them.

MS NBC, then he deserves what he gets.

He deserves what he gets.

It should be if they do anything from this point forward, either there's no moderator, they go mano amano, or he picks one and she picks one.

But he has got to expose her because nobody else will, and she will crumble eventually.

I mean, she just, she's arrogant now.

She came in after five days of memorizing all of these lies, really well prepared.

So what was so frustrating, Glenn, you could see it, couldn't you?

Oh, yeah.

She was like an automaton.

She had been given her lines.

And we heard this before the DMC.

Mark Halperin reported that she'd been getting help from, he did it in sort of tongue-in-cheek, so you had to read between the lines, but it was CAA and Brian Lord, who's one of the heads of CAA, the most powerful agency, or one of them, in a talent agency in the country, and that they were bringing in top Hollywood actors and actresses to coach her on delivery.

That's what it takes to make her faileable to the American people.

But I really believe that the people sitting in Iowa

know that.

They watched that, and there's just no way they looked at her and thought, yeah, this is a genuine person who cares about me.

She barely talked about them.

Her whole

debate performance was to convince us, and by the way, same plan for the moderators, how terrible Trump is.

It was not, other than her first answer, where she tried to say, oh, I'm middle class and I understand your problems.

It was not about them or the economy.

One last thing.

When she was calling him weak, and remember, she said, you're going to hear nothing but name-calling tonight.

Well, yes, from her.

But when she kept saying over and over again, you know, you're weak, you're weak, you're weak,

she was just trying to get under his skin the entire time.

And I have to tell you, I don't know if I could have been as restrained as he was last night.

90 minutes of lies.

I don't think I could have contained myself.

I would have lost.

I agree.

I agree.

I mean, my blood was boiling.

His blood had to be boiling.

Obviously, this was her plan.

But the number of personal, emasculating attacks that she launched on him, if he had done anything like that to her,

he'd be getting lectured all day about his misogyny.

Yes.

But she got away with it entirely.

And all I could think of when I looked at Trump was, this is like a soldier in

a foxhole surrounded by enemy fire,

trying to return fire, you know, one by one by one.

But the hits on him were uniform.

It was a pile on, and it was nonstop.

And when I looked at the way ABC handled it, 100%

as effective and strong a competitor to him as she was, all I could think was ambush.

This is an ambush.

They laid a trap for him by assuring him they could be fair.

He fell for it.

He walked in there, and all they did was ask him horrible questions for him.

If he didn't answer it, you know, if he tried to bridge or he went with his own messaging, on him, they would follow up.

The question was this.

The question was this.

On her, they

never

did that.

And then they would try to fact-check him.

And nine times out of 10, their fact-check was incorrect.

And they never once fact-checked her.

And all of the topic selection was left-wing anti-Trump.

I mean, every single question they asked me to were normal.

So he was like the soldier who was ambushed.

And now I do have a belief.

I know it's contrarian, but I really have a belief that.

The average American at home who watched that gets it on the visceral level.

And I just don't expect any sort of big bounce for her.

From your lips to God's ear.

Thank you so much, Megan.

You can hear Megan and

her whole opinion on Sirius XM immediately following this program on Triumph.

Thank you so much.

Appreciate it, Megan.

My pleasure.

You bet.

I have to tell you, I agree with her, and I'm going to explain why.

You're going to want to hear this because

she pivoted for a reason.

she's running the way she's running for a reason and part of it is she's telling you exactly what she's going to do she is being very clear on her policies believe it or not and

she's pivoted because she knows you've pivoted

Now back to the podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Glen Beck program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

So let me tell you

my opinion on what happened last night and where you can find the truth and hope.

You know, as I'm watching that last night, I want to talk to you about two things, her plan and her approach.

So as I'm watching

last night, she had absolutely no substance.

She wasn't really asked about her plan.

We found out yesterday that her plan on her website is literally Joe Biden's plan.

They copied and paste

over to her website.

And when you clicked on it yesterday, it it still took you to Joe Biden's page.

So there is no plan, no substance.

And I thought, she's not saying anything concrete.

Things like, I'm going to make an opportunity economy.

What does that mean?

What does that even mean?

And I'm wondering, when is she going to tell us what America is going to be like?

When is she going to reveal who she really is?

And then it hit me.

She's doing the same thing that all of us did when we were kids.

When we were kids, when we would get into trouble, we'd say it was somebody else, right?

If I left a huge mess in my room or, you know, in the kitchen, I would say, it's my sister's fault.

Yeah, really?

They didn't clean it up.

Where were you?

If I was caught lying, I would say, no, no, no, I'm not the one who said that.

It was, you know, my sister or my friend or whoever.

Wherever you got in trouble, you would, your instinct was blame it on them, because you were a a kid.

I would say what I was doing by blaming someone else.

And as I was thinking, and I heard Kamala say, world leaders are laughing at Donald Trump.

I've talked to military leaders.

They say you're a disgrace, President Trump.

Huh.

That's when I realized, oh my gosh, everything she is saying about Donald Trump is what she's going to be.

I always say,

they're telling you who they are by accusing you of whatever, that's who they are.

This is what the Democrats do all the time.

They project

everything onto the other guy, onto the other party.

And Kamala is, I don't know if she's the worst at it or maybe she's the best.

I don't know.

But she's not even hiding hiding what she's doing anymore.

Democrats realize they can't hide what they're doing anymore, that we're on to them.

They don't even pretend to try.

Last night, lie after lie after lie after lie.

And they are, if you spent, if you watched it and then spent a few minutes on the internet, you could debunk with their audio or his audio at the actual events.

You could debunk all of those things.

They point out, you know, how bad everything that's happening, it's really bad.

And it's happening because of the Republicans.

It's happening because of Donald Trump.

If you want to know Kamala's platform, watch the debate, listen, and when she talks about Trump, realize she's projecting.

She says he's a weak leader.

That's not what dictators think.

That's not what world leaders think.

How can you call him an autocratic dictator and weak?

it's not possible she's the weak leader she says his economic plans will make everything more expensive in America but her plans will I mean and even

even Democrat economists are saying that

she says he'll be a poor commander-in-chief she says he'll cause wars she says he'll make health care less affordable she accuses Trump of not caring about women when the Democrats have waged an all-out war on women.

Then she says he wants to defund the police.

What?

That's really where it just cemented in my head last night.

I'm like, ha, wait a minute.

That he's threatened to terminate the Constitution.

That Trump will weaponize the Department of Justice.

These are all things she said last night.

Now, who does that sound like to you?

Projection is defined as, quote, the ego defending itself against highly negative parts of the self by denying their existence in themselves and

attributing them to others, breeding a misunderstanding.

Projection incorporates blame shifting.

So

she's projecting.

But here's the projection.

Here's the projection.

I think it's more sinister than just seeing the world through your own viewpoint.

Kamala is using projection not only as a defense mechanism, but also as a tool.

She's using it as a weapon of offense.

Accuse your enemy of what you're doing as you're doing it to create confusion.

You know who said that?

Her dad would know.

Karl Marx.

Accuse your enemy of what you're doing as you're doing it to create confusion.

Karl Marx.

If you want to know Kamala's positions, what they really are, if you want to understand what she'll really do to America, all you have to do is look at what she accuses Donald Trump of.

Look at the America she projects under Donald Trump.

And you will have a very clear vision of what America will be like under a Harris administration.

So that's how we can tell what her policies are going to be.

That's how we can tell what America will look like after

she becomes president, God forbid.

But there's something else.

Why is she denying everything that she was?

Why is she having to play this tactic where she wasn't talking about her vision?

She was talking about how bad Donald Trump is.

She tapped into something that is definitely happening in America today.

She is saying,

per the debate, what Americans want to hear.

We want to turn the page, this old crap, blah, blah, blah.

Not in substance,

but talking

into the positive nature of who Americans want to be at their core and who Americans are at their core.

We are positive.

We just want an end to all of this stuff.

Kamala has moved her policy position because I believe their internal position or their internal polling shows that's what people want.

180 degrees in the opposite direction of where she actually

is.

That's what Americans want.

So they're giving it to them.

Americans want to stand on their own foundation.

Okay, they want to stand on their own foundation.

They, you know, they want to be helpful and they want help from time to time, but they don't need somebody to treat them like a child.

Americans want everybody treated fairly.

Americans want a border protected.

All Americans do.

Americans want economic independence.

Americans believe in justice and mercy.

Americans believe in the pursuit of happiness, aspirations, hopes, the American dream.

Americans believe there is more that unites us than divides us.

Americans want to stand on their own foundation without having to rely on foreign countries for energy.

What was amazing last night is when she came out and she said,

we're just trying to get to a place to where we're not so reliant on foreign oil.

We weren't reliant on foreign oil.

For the first time in my lifetime, we weren't dependent on foreign oil.

You shut that down.

But Americans,

we want our own foundation.

We want to be able to manufacture our own things.

Energy, medicine, technology.

Americans believe there is such a thing as American values, hard work, honesty, loving your neighbor.

Americans know that owning your own home, your own land, connects you to your community, connects you to earth and life.

It gives you a sense of belonging and a sense of power of responsibility.

Americans know that protecting, caring for, and lifting up those in need is vital.

It's vital.

And they know that this is a job best accomplished not by the government, but by we, the people.

The government may have to come in and take care of things that are just too large, but generally speaking, we need to do that.

Americans have and will continue to support and defend Israel and the Jewish communities around the world.

She is anti-Israel.

But she's not saying that.

Americans know that rights are given by God.

She believes they're from the government, but she's not saying that.

That freedom of thought and speech is foundational to a free society.

That protecting the integrity of the vote is vital.

If we're to have faith in our government and its leaders, we must have faith in the vote.

But they won't give you any faith in the vote.

They say that questioning the vote is destroying America, but they've done it every time they've lost since the year 2000.

Why is it suddenly wrong this time?

You know, I was in

Salt Lake City with Tucker Carlson and we had a sold-out show, I don't know, about 12,000 people.

And it was a very hopeful night, very hopeful.

I felt it.

I had hope.

I had hope all day leading up to it.

I thought this, this is something, something's going to happen here in somebody, maybe not even on this stage, but something good is is going to come from this.

I had hope

because I had felt the goodness in people.

Democrats,

they know America is good as well, not necessarily those in Washington.

I don't know how any of them feel hopeful.

while working in Washington.

It's a nasty nest of snakes.

But people who are out in the regular world, in the country, they feel it as well.

There is goodness out there.

And the Democrats know it from the polling.

Notice that during the RNC,

we were joyful.

We were joyful.

We were joyful because he survived an assassination attempt.

And the whole thing had a different tone to it, but it was spontaneous.

It was real.

And after we felt all of that in ours, they felt it and then they packaged it.

Well, you know one thing that I feel from here, it's joy.

It is absolute joy.

Doesn't it feel joyful, Bob?

Sure does, Sally.

Feels joyful here.

We had the authentic thing.

They packaged it.

Same thing she's doing now.

They know authenticity is really important.

They know they're out of step, so they'll package it.

Now the all-new Kamala Harris.

She prepared herself for this debate to stand up and try to grab hold of that goodness.

If you watched it last night while she laughed and cackled at

people's suffering in America on food prices, when she put her one arm out across her chest so she could rest her elbow in her hand and put her hand or chin in her hand like, hmm, I'm thinking like a professor.

You know all of this was staged.

It was fake.

But the good thing is, the goodness in America doesn't belong to Kamala Harris, doesn't.

She is not the face of American principles.

She is, She's not the face of your American principles or my American principles.

Send that message directly to your Democratic neighbors.

RFK, Alan Dershowitz, Tulsi Gabber, lifetime Democrats.

They each tried to remain Democrat.

They each wanted to remind the Democrats who they really are, show them who they've become.

They tried to change it from the inside.

They were defriended.

They were put on terrorist watch lists.

they were smeared, they were destroyed, they gave up.

Those aren't isolated instances.

There are Democrats that know it.

And goodness doesn't belong to Donald Trump, doesn't belong to anybody.

It belongs to all of us, it belongs to you.

Make America great again

really just means make America good again.

And I have news for you.

Americans are still good.

You are that goodness.

No one owns that righteousness that is inside of each of us.

But that righteousness, you have an alarm bell that goes off.

You know when it's fake.

You are listening to the best of the Glenn Beck podcast.

Julio now is

in

Springfield, Ohio, talking about the Haitian influx to see what's really going on.

He's our national correspondent, Julio Rosas.

Welcome.

Yeah, Gwen, thanks for having me.

You bet.

You got there yesterday?

I got in late Monday night, yes.

Okay, okay.

So what have you found on the ducks and the geese and

everything else?

Well, I can tell you that it is an issue that has been raised to the city

months

months before this this got brought to the national attention you know last week into into this week

you know I can't speak to how widespread it is but it's been enough of a problem that people have been saying hey

you know like we've been seeing this I like I've heard about this can the city look into it and from my understanding is

not just with the duck issue you know the pet issue but overall any issue that residents have been raising

over the 20,000 Haitians being put into their city,

a lot of the residents feel that the city commission is just not listening to their problems or they're unwilling to do anything about it because

there is a lot of money

being involved in the decisions because

these Haitians, they have jobs.

And so that's why they're able to be here legally and they have protective status.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

They have jobs?

Yes.

How did they do job placement for 15 or 20,000 Haitians?

It's through a temp agency called First Diversity.

It's based here in Springfield.

And that's one of the...

tension points with the within the the the American citizens here is that everything seems to be revolved around accommodating the Haitians first and the American citizens second.

And that's why they're so upset at the City Commission, because the City Commission appears that they want to make Springfield seem as accommodating as possible to the Haitian population, which includes not towing cars of unlicensed drivers.

Surrounding communities are having to do that because

You know, admittedly, they're not very great drivers and it's caused, you know, some people have been killed.

There have been accidents on the road, but Springfield, in the past, has just not been willing to tow their cars whenever there's been an accident or whether they've been caught driving recklessly.

And so that's one of the reasons why

people no longer drive into Springfield to shop.

I was in Tremont City, which is just five minutes to the north.

They no longer go to the Kroger or the Walmart in Springfield.

They go to the cities up north to do the shopping because they say even being on the road is too dangerous.

I got to believe that a town that small, I mean,

Kamala last night said it was a mid-sized town.

No, it's not.

That's 50,000 people is a small town in America.

And I got to believe you put 20,000 immigrants from anywhere

that are not, you know, looking to blend in and be part of society.

I got to believe that has totally changed the culture.

And if I were a resident, I'd be pissed.

Who is the federal government to do this to my town?

Is that the feeling you're getting from people?

Yes.

I was at the city comm so while most people were getting ready for the debate last night, I was at the city commission meeting that they have.

And a few people spoke to during the public comments portion where one woman, she's 58, she's elderly.

She lives on the south side of town.

And the south side of town is where most of the Haitians have been put

and are living at now.

And she says she doesn't even leave her house anymore without her gun and her 120-pound pit bull because she has been followed.

She has been groped by Haitians.

She's been accosted verbally.

And she said, I'm very worried about the women of this town because they're very aggressive towards women.

And it's, and, you know, that was just one person, but

there's a lot of, you know, outside, you know, yes, the pet issue is one thing, but even on the housing alone, what has been happening is that landlords have, you know, you say you have a family of four, they don't, the landlords don't renew their lease with them, and then they replace them with up to 15 Haitians.

They're not even renting, they're not even renting the house.

They're renting beds.

They're charging them, I've been told, $200

a week for just the bed.

And it was explained to me that the bed never gets cold because there's just a constant rotation of people that use it for those eight hours, then they go to work and then they come back and it just starts all over again.

So you put, you know, six you know, you put, you know, you know, two sets of bunk beds in a room that's six people, right?

That's the way it works in China.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And so and so the the the landlords are getting a lot more money from this, and the and the city isn't enforcing the fire codes.

So because that's a fire hazard.

When you have have that many people crammed into one, you know, a two-bedroom, one-bedroom place,

but you have 15 people inside, that's a fire hazard.

But the city has refused to enforce the codes, again, to try to accommodate the Haitians as much as possible.

And American citizens who haven't been able to afford to leave, they've ended up homeless.

There's encampments that

have sprung up around Springfield, and it's not because of just homeless people as like Los Angeles that are drugged out.

It's they can't afford anything else, and that's their only option.

I have to tell you:

if this were happening in my city and somebody came to enforce some sort of ordinance,

you know, I was building a house and they were like, you got to get a permit for this because we have to know for fire safety.

I tell them, go to hell.

When you decide to

have everybody go along with your rules, then you can come see me.

I mean,

this is

a national nuclear bomb that is about to go off.

People are not going to tolerate this.

You know, I heard a guy yesterday, he was a

vet, and he said, he was in Chicago, and he said, what is happening here?

We have vets on the street.

I'm barely making it.

We have homeless people.

You're doing more for these illegals than you're doing for us.

And then he said the key words.

He said, you need to do that for us as well.

Well, that's universal everything.

And they're pushing us into this.

This is that you cannot push these cities to the brink like this.

This is Cloward and Piven.

And the result will be communism if Kamala

has her way.

This is extraordinarily dangerous.

What can be done to help Springfield, Julio?

Well, that's interesting because, again, during the public comment section of the meeting last night,

I would actually say more people spoke in favor of just saying, well, the Haitians are here.

There's nothing we can do about it.

We just need to work through it, as opposed to saying, we need to stop accepting nations.

You got to be kidding me.

It kind of appears that at least, you know, from, you know, there's a sizable amount of people who have just resigned themselves to this new reality.

And it doesn't seem like,

and, you know, obviously that's just one snapshot of the community.

But

I also think that people are...

afraid of speaking out on the issue because because of the national attention and just because of the the environment that we're in,

they're afraid they're going to be called racist.

They're afraid they're going to be called bigoted and all this stuff.

And, you know, it's a small town, right?

So everyone knows everybody.

And so

I think that's part of the issue.

But

that in and of itself is a big problem because if you're not going to speak out about it, then the loudest voices are going to get their way, right?

So in terms of what could be done for Springfield, I mean,

nothing's going to change.

Nothing's going to change if Harris takes back the White House.

And it's not going to be just Springfield.

It's going to be multiple...

It's going to be cities across the country.

And so I think it's significant that when I started my reporting on the border crisis, it was always on the border.

And, you know, now we're nearing the end of the Biden-Harris term, first term, and I'm having to do immigration stories in America Heartlands.

Every town is a border town.

We've been saying that for years now.

And at first it sounded a little corny.

It sounded very, you know, it it did sound very political,

but

it is 100% true.

And it's not just Chicago.

It's not just New York City.

It's not just Denver.

Any town can face this within the next couple of years.

Julio, we'll talk to you again maybe tomorrow.

Thank you so much for the update.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

Julio Rosas, he's the Blaze Media National correspondent.

Now, let me say something.

You're not going to fix this.

Nothing will change

if you just acquiesce.

If you just go along with it.

Well, there's nothing I can do.

Do you see that they're testing you again?

This is like COVID.

Wear a mask six feet apart.

Stay in your house.

No kids going to school.

They know what they could get away with on that.

Now, what are they doing?

They're taking jobs and giving them to illegals without taking care of our own people first.

And you're just resigned to that?

Nothing will change in this country.

And you know what?

I believe Donald Trump was saved by the Lord.

I believe that was a miracle that he turned his head.

When you see the picture of the bullet, As he's turning his head, that's a miracle.

It's a miracle that that guy got up.

It's a miracle that that guy got up and said, stand your ground, fight.

It's a miracle that that guy goes on stage every day.

He's actually in the fight.

And we're going to say, I don't want to be called racist.

That word has no meaning anymore.

No meaning.

No words have meanings.

If I may quote my mother, sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you

you've got to stand up

if you don't you will get what you deserve

you will first become part of the problem

and then you will be part and parcel with the wrong side you know what's right

you must see.

There's only one place where history, culture, and adventure meets on the National Mall.

Where museum days turn to electric lights.

Where riverside sunrises glow and monuments shine in moonlight.

Where there's something new for everyone to discover.

There's only one DC.

Stand up.
