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

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

What a coincidence.

And my name is Glenn Beck.

We're so glad that you're here today.

I'm going to try to cover three pretty big stories.

We had some hostages released last night.

Also, we have an update on the 9-11 attackers.

And

Donald Trump met with the most hostile group of reporters I think he's ever faced.

How did he fare?

We'll tell you that in 60 seconds.

First, you know, sometimes you put your foot down and you say to your wife, listen, lady, if God had wanted us to clean out gutters on the roof, he would have given us, you know, 20-foot-long legs, all right?

So get off my back.

And then usually you find your clothing out on the front lawn.

But

that's why most of us just get up on the roof,

you know, and clean out those gutters.

sometimes with a black eye.

Here's the thing, the leaf filter from leaf home gutters will make that conversation never have to happen.

You don't have to worry about your gutters ever again.

It helps protect your home from flooding, roof damage,

rotting, siding, foundation issues, all of that stuff.

Best of all, you never have to think about them again.

So,

hello, Stu.

Glenn, how are you?

Oh,

fantastic.

Now,

I say that with such a fervor because we have some good news.

Russia just announced that they are releasing the Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovitz

and former U.S.

Marine Paul Whelan.

Now,

this was part of a prisoner swap that the U.S.

and

Russia have just made.

We don't know who they swapped for these two,

but I'm sure it was a favorable deal for us.

Always is.

Always is.

I love your your optimism, Glenn.

That's the right way to do it.

Thank you.

You know, we typically in these moments,

what the administration wants us to do is engage in a benefit analysis.

And look, I think the benefit analysis is really good.

Like, I really want these people back.

We've talked about them a bunch of times.

Me too.

We highlight hostages that are kept in areas.

Unlike other networks, you might see at the bottom corner of our screen.

American hostages, 299 days in Gaza.

We focus on this.

Everyone else seems to ignore them.

But the benefit analysis here is good.

The problem may wind up being when you do a cost-benefit analysis.

And we don't like to do that with policies.

And we don't always like to look at hostages in that same way.

It's difficult, of course, to look at it that way, but I am very worried as to what happened here.

What did we give up for these two hostages?

Yeah,

yeah.

Seeing that those details were not immediately available,

I have a feeling it's probably not good.

Now, here's something else.

I mean, these geniuses, they have their finger on the pulse of the American people, and they're making good deals, really good deals.

The next story that I found just kind of, well, fascinating.

U.S.

lawmakers are a little upset with the Biden-Harris administration.

Plea deals have been reached now for the three Islamic terrorists who carried out 9-11.

Prosecutors have entered into a pre-trial agreement.

These guys haven't been tried yet.

Pre-trial agreement with 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Waleed Muhammad Salih and Mubarak bin Atash,

oh and Mustafa Ahmed Adam El-Harswai.

Okay,

so what they've done is in exchange for the removal of the death penalty as a possible punishment, These three accused have agreed to plead guilty to all of the charged offenses, including the murder of 2,976 people listed listed in the charge seat.

Now, if there is anyone that deserves execution, I think it's somebody who killed 3,000 people.

I think it might be somebody who, you know, perpetrated the largest terrorist attack the world had seen.

But maybe not.

You know, maybe we just went over, we sent our troops over because we didn't really mean it.

You know, we were just doing a photo op.

Maybe all of those soldiers, those U.S.

soldiers, died for a photo op.

Because I think that's what happened in Afghanistan, right?

Wasn't that a big photo op?

Wasn't that just something we did?

And then we're like, you know what?

I'm kind of tired of this.

We got enough photos.

And so then we just, we just pull out.

And it was a, it was a beautiful, beautiful exit that we made.

Now, just to complete the circle,

no death penalty for these guys.

So that's good.

It's not even the trial.

Like so if you are a family of someone who lost people in 9-11 and many of these families are complaining about this, they don't even get the questioning, they don't get the evidence, they don't get a trial, a punishment.

They skip all of that

potential inclusion in their closure process.

That's all gone.

He just gets to say, I'm guilty and it's over.

What would be another reason

not to have a trial?

To just,

I mean, sure, saving money, and our government is so frugal,

saving time, you know, because, wow, they've put a lot of research into this, almost 25 years of research.

That's a speedy trial for you, don't you think?

And then

on top of that, what else could there be?

Why Why wouldn't the government want a trial?

I mean,

we can only venture guesses at such a thing, but some might think that if an entire trial were to go on, we might learn some things about how the government handled this situation, who they were dealing with,

what arrangements were made for

potentially government officials from other countries.

There's maybe something they might not want us to know about.

Wow, I didn't even think of that.

Wow, what a conspiracy theorist.

By the way, speaking of conspiracy theorists, the New York Times has an op-ed out.

Right-wing lawmakers.

Oh, I'm sorry, this is not an op-ed.

This is a story.

Right-wing lawmakers and candidates have made baseless suggestions that the shooting was orchestrated by Democrats or government actors who targeted former President Donald J.

Trump.

Representative Eli Crane, an Arizona Republic and former Navy SEAL, says he is no conspiracy theorist, but in the weeks since the attempted assassination of Donald J.

Trump, he has made the baseless suggestion that the shooting was part of a coordinated campaign by Democrats or shadowy government actors to try to stop the former president from reclaiming the White House.

Not only did they try to bankrupt him, but they tried to put him in prison, Mr.

Crane told Orvitz, a right-wing radio personality in Arizona.

When that didn't work, they tried to put him in prison for 750 years.

And many of us said the next step in this escalation for them is try to kill him because they can't beat him fair and square.

An appearance on the Glenn Beck program, Mr.

Crane, who traveled to

the Pennsylvania rally site where Mr.

Trump was shot to conduct his own investigation, said, I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but at the same time, I don't want to, you know, rule anything out because I don't put it past some of the people in our government to do anything necessary to hold on to power.

That is such a wild,

baseless allegation that somebody in this vast government would do something unethical or wrong or immoral to hold on to power or to shoot a guy that they are convinced is Hitler.

How crazy is that?

I mean, that is just tinfoil hat crazy.

Yeah.

How can you possibly blame people for having their minds wander to outlying possibilities at this point?

After what?

I mean, I'm pretty sure

I saw footage yesterday of the shooter building a Ferris wheel next to

the speech grounds and going to the top of it to see if he could get a clear shot and then deconstructing it right in front of secret service officers.

Everything that you could possibly think.

The guy was now there's footage of him just running back and forth on the roof in the background, and no one does anything.

I'm saying

here, hang on just a sec.

Play that video.

You get ready, McCarthy.

You get ready.

You can see the head in the background and in the red circle.

I mean, it's like

how

it is inexplicable.

And this comes from a person who is very skeptical of the government competence.

Like, I'm really, like, usually

unfazed by government doing something pathetically incompetent.

And that does always almost explain everything, but it could be.

It could just be incompetence.

It might be.

But to not consider that it might be something

is ridiculous especially the way they've been at behaving on hoarding all of the information and only releasing things when it seems to be good for them it is really not good now let me take another story uh

donald trump went to speak to the black journalists association in chicago Now, how do you think that went?

Hats off to Donald Trump for having the balls to walk in nobody do you think that

do you think that Joe Biden or Kamala Harris would ever walk into my studio with one one person that stands against do you think she would ever have the cojonies to walk into my studio Clint she's not even doing interviews with friendly sources she's done absolutely nothing she's just coming out here and doing teleprompter speeches and no one asks her any questions

right

So hats off to Donald Trump for even walking into the room.

But he was treated like garbage.

And they're freaking out by one of his answers.

We'll go there in 60 seconds.

Standby.

First, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller's tragic and shocking story made national headlines.

During a traffic stop, Jonathan was shot and killed by a career criminal.

His first line of duty death.

This was the first first line of duty death for the NYPD in two years.

Throughout his three years of service, Jonathan made more than 70 arrests.

He was awarded as having excellent and meritorious police duty on several occasions.

Jonathan, who would be 31,

leaves behind a wife, Stephanie, and his one-year-old son, Ryan.

His brother and sisters in the NYPD family are mourning his death too.

At his funeral, Stephanie called Jonathan's death devastating and senseless.

She said, my husband died a hero, but he also lived as one.

For this family, nothing will ever replace the loss of the husband and father, but thanks to your kindness, thanks to people just like you, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation was able to pay off the mortgage of the Diller family home.

Our fallen heroes and our families need help.

Join Tunnel to Towers, stepping up.

If we want government to do less, then we have to do more.

Help heroes like Jonathan and their families.

donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at t2t.org.

That's tthenumber2t.org.

10 seconds, station ID.

All right.

So I'm sure you heard how well this went in Chicago.

Trump

said yesterday that,

well, you know what?

Let me just let you hear this.

Let me see which sod it would be.

Let's go to SOD 11, please.

Here you go.

I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir.

A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today.

You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals, from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama, saying that they were not born in the United States, which is not true.

You have told four congresswomen of color who were American citizens to go back to where they came from.

You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe black district attorneys.

You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that they ask are, quote, stupid and racist.

You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mar-a-Laga resort.

So, my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that?

This

is a woman from ABC News, which, by the way, is the host of the next debate.

How do you think that's going to go?

That's the introduction of Donald Trump.

That is his welcome question.

Here's how he responds.

Like that.

Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question so,

in such a horrible manner, a first question.

You don't even say hello, how are you?

Are you with ABC?

Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network.

And

I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit.

I love the black population of this country.

I've done so much for the black population of this country.

including employment, including opportunity zones with Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, which is one of the greatest programs ever for black workers and black entrepreneurs.

I've done so much, and you know, and I say this,

historically black colleges and universities were out of money, they were stone-cold broke, and I saved them, and I gave them long-term financing, and nobody else was doing it.

I think it's a very rude introduction.

I don't know exactly why you would do something like that.

And let me go a step further.

I was invited here and I was told my opponent, whether it was Biden or Kamala, I was told my opponent was going to be here.

It turned out my opponent isn't here.

You invited me under false pretense.

And then you said, you can't do it with Zoom.

Well,

you know, where's Zoom?

She's going to do it with Zoom and she's not coming.

And then you were half an hour late, just so we understand, I have too much respect for you to be late.

They couldn't get their equipment working or something was wrong.

I would like to ask you to ask you to ask you to ask.

I think it's a very nasty question.

I have answered the question.

Especially with another question.

I have been the best president for the black population since Abraham Lincoln.

That's my answer.

Better than President Johnson who signed the Voting Rights Act.

For you to start with the question and answer period, especially when you're 35 minutes late because you couldn't get your equipment to work in such a hostile manner, I think it's a disgrace.

I think that's fantastic.

And did you notice that it wasn't all booze?

If you read about this,

there was gasps,

there were booze.

Well, yeah, there are, but there were also some people cheering for him.

This was not a knockout punch, and she was nasty.

Just nasty.

You don't ever invite somebody to your house and then treat them like garbage.

I'm sorry,

that's one of my my rules.

I always tell my producers, if somebody is going to have a tough time on this program, I tell them, you may not want to come on.

Glenn does not agree with you at all.

He will be civil, but you are facing a very tough room.

We do not want you to be surprised.

Now, you don't need to say that to Donald Trump.

Every room he walks into with a reporter is a very tough and

angry room at him.

But you don't do that.

You do not start like that.

Her tone, her question, all of it.

And you know what?

I used to think that

Donald Trump was

arrogant by saying the best since Abraham Lincoln.

I think that's true.

Maybe Teddy Roosevelt.

But I think actually what was done more in his administration than Tenny Roosevelt.

Tell me, more than Johnson, Johnson is responsible.

Johnson is the guy who stopped the Civil Rights Act in 1959.

He was a racist till the day he died.

If you look at the Civil Rights Act and you see the damage that was done to black families, I think you should reopen your eyes and reexamine what that racist did with the Civil Rights Act.

There might be some good things in the Civil Rights Act, absolutely positively.

But there's also the damage that has been done to the black family.

So don't give me, oh, even better than, are you kidding me?

You are defending a man who used the N-word till the end of his life and say that he was a friend of blacks?

Oh my gosh.

I mean,

you people are,

these journalists are out of control.

They're rewriting history.

They're just dumping lies of poison into our society all the time.

It's despicable.

I mean, LBJ used the N-word like Leonardo DiCaprio in a Quintin Tarantino movie.

Like, it was literally like his favorite word.

But he's the hero of the African-American community now.

Is that right?

Yeah.

Give me a break.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Ugh.

Can't take it.

Good job, Donald Trump.

More in a minute.

Glenn Beck.

I mean, don't you want somebody to stand up and say what they really mean?

Donald Trump is the same off-air as he is on air.

That guy's authentic.

He is what he is.

All right, real estate agents I trust.

There is doing a job, and there's doing a job so well that you stand out in the crowd.

That's the kind of person that we seek when we, a decade ago, started my company Real Estate Agents I Trust.

I've made and lost a ton of money on real estate over the last few decades.

I used to get so frustrated with dealing with agents who seemed like they just had one foot in the door of their profession or they didn't have any new ideas or anything else.

I started hanging around really good real estate agents because I was doing work with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.

I learned so much about their business, all the best practices, who took it seriously, who went in every situation with the client's best interest in mind.

We have found

these real estate agents all over the country that are the best of the best.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We have seen some amazing things since October 7th, and we have seen the

world turn on Israel, which doesn't surprise me, unfortunately.

But I do believe that there are Christians that have learned the lessons from the past and know that we must stand with Israel.

You know, it's time to, you know, just to say, and I know this is crazy, hey, let's stop trying to snuff out the Jews.

What do you say?

You know, I've tried it, you know, they've tried it 19 times before, 18, 19 times.

I think it doesn't work.

I think it always leads to really bad things.

So let's not do that anymore.

But we are so unclear on evil in these days that some people just can't see the difference between what happened on October 7th and a declared war.

We have Lieutenant Colonel, he's retired, Jonathan Conricus.

He is a former Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson

and

Foundation for Defense of Democracy Senior Fellow.

He joins us now to give us his look at what is coming next

with Iran possibly retaliating against Israel after the killing of the Hamas political leader.

Lieutenant Colonel, welcome to the program.

Yes.

Thank you for having me.

A pleasure.

So I think that the Iranians have made an out-of-character commitment to strike back at Israel from Iran, and they have now committed themselves to doing that, which is very unusual for the Iranians.

The Iranians, by nature, the Iranian regime, they're excellent puppet masters and they're very good at using others, Palestinians, Lebanese, Yemenites, Syrians, to do their dirty wars for them.

But up until now, we haven't seen the Iranians really engage directly.

Now they have committed to doing so and that might likely spell

a significant escalation in the region.

I can tell tell you that Israeli defense forces and Israeli security establishment are ready and bracing for whatever Iran may do.

But I think that as soon as the funeral proceedings will end in Beirut of

the eliminated

Hezbollah commander and in Qatar for Ismail Hania, the Hamas leader, after that, I anticipate to see an escalation and some type of Iranian Hezbollah Hamas response.

So let me ask you, you know, when you kill children on a playground,

you know, it tends to really hack people off and galvanize people against you.

Let me ask you,

the most

appropriate response to

me was the killing of these leaders, not the bombing of neighborhoods or anything else, the killing of these leaders.

How is the world not seeing that this is the

best possible response and then looking at Iran and saying, wait, you're going to, you killed children.

They responded, now you're going to escalate?

Yeah, it is mind-boggling, you know, how people bend over sideways in order to, whatever the situation on the grounds and whatever the facts, somehow find Israel responsible for bad things happening.

And I think that if you would analyze the situation, if anybody would analyze the situation and look at Israel's response to the killing of 12 children in Israel and to these relentless attacks against Israel.

For those who haven't been around for the last 10 months, Israel came under attack.

Israel is fighting a war that it didn't start and didn't want.

It started with Hamas attacking Israel and then Hezbollah joined in and for the last 10 months we have been busy defending ourselves.

And, you know, to look at what Israel did in response.

12 kids were killed in Israel.

Israel didn't lash out.

Israel didn't wipe out a village.

Israel didn't blanket bomb some poor civilian neighborhood.

We do none of that because that is not our moral grounds, and that is not what we do.

We waited, we acted on precise intelligence, and we killed an enemy combatant commander who was directly linked to the rocket fire at Israel, which killed the 12 children.

And I think that's a very professional, measured, and very

good response of a sovereign state to do against terrorists.

And sadly, as you say, Israel isn't being given the credit for acting with such restraints.

So let me follow up on what you said, that you think that Iran will

retaliate from Iran.

Do you believe that this war has

now widened beyond proxies?

Yeah, I think that we're at a...

at an inflection point here where Iran may

be going through a strategic change where they are forced out of the shadows and are now going to have to take a more direct role.

I think that it's uncharted territory for the Iranians to actually fight for themselves and it will be very interesting to see how good they actually are.

Are they as good as fighting for themselves as they are to send others to fight for them?

Or will we perhaps see a much more right-sized Iranian regime and will they be exposed in their weakness and there's a risk here for the Iranians because if they take on Israel and they claim that they're going to fight Israel and they get they they sustain losses and defeats that will have a risk on the stability of the regime because people in Iran Iranian people who are oppressed by the evil

regime of the Islamic Republic, they'll say, oh, the regime isn't so powerful.

Maybe we can rise up against the regime.

So Iran, of course, is looking outwards, but this has inwards implications for Iran as well.

And it's a sensitive time.

The only thing I can say is that Israel is battle-hardened, ready.

And for us, it's very, very clear.

We are fighting for our very survival.

We are fighting for our way of life.

We are fighting for democracy and for our freedom.

And we have no intentions of going anywhere.

And if the Iranians want to test our mettle and expose themselves to our counterattacks, then so be it.

So you had, I don't remember, one of the leaders either of Hamas or Hezbollah say recently that the encirclement of Israel was almost complete.

And, you know, a multi-front war is

Israel's greatest concern.

It always wins, but it, I mean, we just pray that God will be engaged in this again.

But

this is a grave risk for Israel as well, is it not?

It is definitely a great risk.

You know, a few days ago, I had the honor of participating at Christians United for Israel's convention in D.C.

I was

blown away by the level of support for Israel of Christians who came from all over the U.S.

to show their solidarity and support of Israel.

And I told them the same thing.

I said that yes, we are fighting actively on seven different fronts simultaneously.

We're fighting Gaza, Lebanon, Syria,

the Yemenites, the Houthis, we're fighting Palestinians and we are fighting Iran.

And the common denominator here is that it all emanates from Iran.

If you take the Iranian funding and money and equipment and weapons out of the equation, then this whole empire of evil this whole empire of terror against Israel will crumble and we may be it's still too early to say but we may be at a very important time in history where Israel for the first time has decided to take on the Iranians directly and to say enough is enough there is a price for Jewish blood there's a price to be paid by Iranians for indirectly waging war against Israel and we are now going to start to extract extract that price from the Iranians.

We may be at that point.

I'm not sure that we have crossed that Rubicon yet, but we may find ourselves there.

We will know in a few weeks when we'll be able to look back and assess.

You know, when the leadership of Iran says that Israel will burn in the fury of the Islamic fires, the leadership believes that.

They mean that.

They have,

you know, they'll hasten the return of the promised one by washing the world in blood, and the the first stop is Israel and wiping it off the map.

But the people

of

Iran are not in lockstep with their leadership.

How do you fight Iran

without

turning the society against you?

You're very correct about the people.

And I think Israeli leaders have said, and so has the Israeli military, said, that we have nothing against the people of Iran.

It is the evil Islamic Republic and the

autocratic regime that, by the way, oppresses the Iranian population.

And actually, I look at that as an advantage.

And I think that if you look at Iran over the last five, ten years, you have seen significant attempts by the Iranian people to rise up and get free of the oppression of this regime.

This regime is highly unpopular.

It is a brutal regime.

It is one that oppresses people.

It is one that denies people, women, minorities, men, everybody of their basic liberties to have an opinion, to voice their opinion, to say what they want, to do what they want.

That is not something that the Iranian people can do today.

They are oppressed by their own regime.

And sadly, when the Iranian people has risen, and they've done so twice in the last 10 years in 2016 and also 2021-22,

they rose bravely against the regime.

They were out on the streets protesting and confronting the brutal security forces of the regime, but they didn't get any external help.

And as such, the Iranian regime was able to squash the resistance by killing, jailing, torturing, and otherwise silencing people.

If the Iranian people will have

outside support, then maybe significant change can be brought to Iran, and maybe there will be a good change for peace and stability in the Middle East.

But so far, what the brave Iranians have faced is an oppressive regime, no help, and they haven't been able to make a change for the better.

But I can tell you that the Iranian regime is not popular.

And if they lose battles, they are also going to expose themselves internally.

Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan

Conricus, thank you so much for everything that you do.

I know

you have been fighting this fight for a very long time, and I appreciate your time and attention to explaining to not only myself, but also to the staff and the audience what's going on.

We really appreciate it.

And please tell your fellow Israelis that

America might look split and confused right now, and it is, but there are millions of Americans that

are wide awake on this.

We know what time it is, and then we know who you're fighting.

And if you lose, they're coming for us next,

and we're just not going to let that happen.

So please know that while it seems like the world is turning their back, there are millions and millions of Americans that have not.

Glenn, I know that and I thank you for being a voice for those good Americans who know that Israel is fighting the good fight for its own behalf and for the sake of the free world.

And I will carry this message back home to Israel and it will strengthen Israelis and help boost the resolve to keep on fighting and to

at the end achieve victory, victory over evil, victory over Islamism and extremism and it will be the victim of freedom and democracy, which are the two joint values that Israel and the United States share.

And

we will see to it that that will be the end result of our wars.

It's not easy, and as you said, there's confusion and there's people who operate against us.

But I can assure you that the will of the Israeli people is strong and it is committed and we know that we have to fight in order to win and be free.

Israel have not claimed responsibility for the assassination of one of the top leader, I mean the top political leader of Hamas.

But in case you missed the details of how this is happening,

they apparently, it wasn't a missile, which is typically how these things get taken, you know, someone gets taken out in a guest house with a missile.

They'd apparently smuggled in a bomb into the guest house two months previously.

They had previously done this two months ago, and the bomb sat in there waiting until this particular Hamas leader decided to stay in that house.

And at 2 a.m., the house exploded.

Absolutely incredible.

Let me tell you about rough greens.

If you're a dog owner, you're often thinking about the food that you're giving your dog.

And it's because you care about your dog.

You love your dog.

And you wonder, is the food you're giving them actually good for them?

The unfortunate unfortunate truth is that, you know, brown food is dead food, and your dog really needs the green stuff.

Owning a dog is a lot of responsibility, and taking care of their basic needs isn't always as simple as it might seem.

Uno is Glenn's dog, you know, getting a little older, slowing down a little bit.

I got Piper a little bit older, slowing down a little bit.

You know,

you need something like rough greens.

It's not dog food.

You just, you know, sprinkle on top of the dog food, and they'll eat anything with the stuff on it.

I mean, they absolutely love rough greens.

It was created by Dennis Black.

He's a naturopathic doctor.

It's full of vitamins and minerals and probiotics and antioxidants.

You name it.

If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in rough greens.

Most dogs love it.

They will go crazy for it.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Well, the world is in chaos and there's a lot to cover.

We will get to it here in 60 seconds.

Now, we all want to be John Wayne, and we all want to be the, you know, be the bad guy.

You get the bad guy in your sights and blow away at a gunfight at high noon.

And, you know, of course, the reality is real life doesn't always work that way.

Not every dangerous situation you or your loved ones might find yourselves in necessarily calls for making the decision to end someone's life.

It's a major decision.

And honestly, of course, you don't want to be involved in something like that.

If you shoot a gun at another person, you know, that's what you're going to have to be willing to do.

And in some situations, it's necessary.

But other situations, you should have a burnout launcher.

It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home.

It's legal in all 50 states if you're over 18.

And you can pack it in your checked luggage without the need to declare it as a firearm.

It has powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with 60-foot range.

And one shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

And by the way, their high-capacity Mission 4 rifle with maximum projectile speed is back in stock, ready to ship right now.

He's we're in the middle of dealing with those right now.

And do we have our guest?

We do.

Okay.

This is great.

Jonathan Turley is with us.

The Indispensable Write is his book.

You know Jonathan Turley.

He's been covering matters of constitutional importance for a very long time, and he joins us now.

Jonathan, welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Thank you very much.

I appreciate you doing this.

And you're covering something I think is fascinating.

And I don't think people understand how much this influences the way they consume news.

An organization called News Guard, which sounds great, right?

They're guarding the news.

They're guarding the accuracy of the news.

But this organization

does not seem to be doing this in some sort of bipartisan way.

It seems to be targeting conservatives and libertarians.

You write about this at The Hill.

Can you kind of walk us through what this organization is?

Well, NewsGuard was created by

two

figures who announced that they were going to be the guardians of the media.

One of them being Steve Brill, who's probably a little more controversial because he's a well-known sort of stalwart Democrat

and liberal.

And many conservatives

objected that this type of organization was

threatening for their blogs, their sites, because it was dedicated to fighting what it called disinformation and false reporting.

And what I wrote about was its connection to the anti-free speech movement.

In The Indispensable Right, I knew both that you were kind enough to mention,

I go into this sophisticated anti-free speech movement.

The left has really been much more successful than any movement in our history.

because we've never seen an alliance like this

of the government, the media, academia, and corporations.

And one of the most sophisticated aspects of that alliance is to target the revenue sources for conservative and libertarian sites, to discourage advertisers from supporting certain

sites, certain types of individuals or groups.

There's been a number of these

that have popped up.

One was this Global Disinformation

Initiative, or GDI, and they came up with the ten most dangerous sites, and all ten turned out to be favorite sites for conservatives and libertarians.

And then the most favored, the safest, the recommended sites included sites like Huffington Post.

which is on the far left.

Well, my objection to NewsGuard is not that,

you know, they're on a crusade against conservatives or libertarians.

Many sites have, in fact, criticized them and said that they have almost trolled them.

I really don't have a basis to make that judgment.

My objection is to the very concept of a rating system for media.

It's a very dangerous thing.

It's very profitable, but it's also very powerful for these two individuals to say that they're sort of the standard poor of media, that

they will rate media so that advertisers will make a decision.

And that's a level of power that we should all be leery of.

And it promises to be far more successful in killing off

sites with opposing dissenting views than anything else this anti-free speech movement has come up with.

It's really interesting because I think think there is a

feeling in the internet age where there is so much information and so many sources you don't recognize.

And often you do see stories that are just plain fake, right?

There is some,

the original definition, for example, of fake news was more of this sort of like

internet meme that turns into a story.

It looks like a news story and it's not based on anything.

And there is some value in trying for a site, perhaps, to point out that some of these stories are fake.

But

this is going in a totally different direction.

This is not a fact check of some myth or urban legend.

These are fact checks that are based on just left-wing propaganda, left-wing opinion.

And

when you're targeting people's revenue sources, it becomes much, much more serious, right?

It does.

And, of course, none of us have any problem with fact checks.

And sometimes those fact checks are themselves pretty dubious as we've seen there are plenty of liberal fact checking organizations that are themselves disinformation and there's the same problem on the right so consumers readers viewers have to make their own judgment on who they're going to believe but what concerns me about NewsGuard and there's also an organization called Garm which is very aggressive in targeting sites that they say are disinformation is that their criteria are very subjective.

Even though NewsGuard insists that they have objective criteria, when you look at them, it's clear that that's not the case.

When you're going to make the decision on what's false, what's disinformation, that's a loaded, subjective concept.

In my case,

I wrote a column criticizing NewsGuard.

And basically one week later, NewsGuard came knocking at my door and said, said, you know, we want to review your site now.

Tell us where your revenue is coming from.

And why don't you warn viewers that you're conservative or libertarian?

And

I wrote in response to that and said, you know, this is part of the problem.

Putting aside my general opposition to what you're doing,

you know, what happens if I don't agree with you?

as how I should characterize myself.

What do you do then?

I mean, my assumption is that I'll be penalized.

What if you say something's false on my site that I think is opinion or is true?

Then I would also be penalized for not taking it down.

So there's a lot of subjectivity within this.

And what my book goes into in the indispensable right

is that

this is part of a movement in the media and in academia.

This anti-free speech movement came out of higher education and then metastasized in the media.

This is by far the most dangerous thing to come out of that effort because

it's a bit of subterfuge, right?

We can often deal with censorship because it's direct.

Somebody's being blocked.

Somebody's being throttled, right?

Not easy.

Thank God for Musk releasing the Twitter files.

We now have a good idea of that.

But when it comes to targeting revenue, you won't know about it because it's going on behind the scenes.

They're using these rating systems and they're squeezing these sites out of existence.

It's really diabolical in a way.

Jonathan, is there anything that you know, I know you got a you're short on time here, but is there anything that we can do?

How do we push back against this?

We know how to stop a government effort.

You can elect people to

fight back against a law.

You can try to get people to stick to the Constitution through the courts.

There's lots of ways you can do that, but this is a different approach.

How do you stop it?

You know, that's one of the reasons it took me so long to do this book, because I didn't want to finish the book until I had a way of going forward of how we

can regain the ground we've lost.

on free speech.

And the whole back end of the book deals with that.

And one of the things that I propose in the Indispensable Right

is that Congress needs to pass a law that gets the United States government out of the censorship business.

It's a very simple law to pass.

You simply say that the government cannot spend a single public dollar in grants or any other form to groups that target individuals or other groups based on their speech.

And that includes rating systems like NewsGuard.

Our understanding is that NewsGuard has received government contracts, which is very dangerous, but also the teachers union, the American Federation of Teachers, has embraced it, not surprisingly.

And so what that means is that even sites like mine that have no revenue, I mean, I think that NewsGuard they've been a bit disappointed because I don't have advertisements.

I don't have

an outside revenue source for my blog.

So

you can't threaten me.

The only one that could threaten me is my wife in a community property situation.

Well, that's true for all of us.

Yeah, she

so

but they can still shut down a blog like mine in another respect, right?

They can

at schools block sites as being unreliable.

right and through agencies they could filter out those sites huge companies can start to devalue uh where your site comes up.

So there's a myriad of different ways they can do that.

The first thing we have to start with is to get the government out of this mix where it has no contracts, no grants, no funding for rating systems or other disinformation systems.

I can't, this is what I go into depth in the book on, because there's a huge chapter in the indispensable right on higher education.

And this is a cottage industry in higher education.

Universities are falling over themselves to get federal grants and international grants to target people they can accuse of disinformation.

So what they've done is they've made free speech into this type of commodity where they make a lot of money by limiting the speech of others, by helping the targeting of groups.

And not surprisingly, what these academic groups view as disinformation or malinformation or misinformation are often conservative and libertarian.

And the last point is keep in mind that malinformation, which the Biden administration has endorsed as one of the things that they want eliminated, is defined as true facts.

that are being used in a misleading way.

So the Biden administration is saying that we should censor people who are actually citing true things, but are doing it in a way that the Biden administration or these academic groups or these rating companies view as misleading.

I mean, that is just terrifying.

It's like it's out of a novel.

The best way to understand what is going on and how we can push back on it is to read the Indispensable Right.

It is a book that is out now by Jonathan Turley.

He's, of course, a George Washington University Law School professor and attorney.

Jonathan, I can't thank you enough for writing the book and coming on and telling us all about it.

My great pleasure.

Thank you for having me on.

Thank you.

All right, we're back in, let's see, take a quick break, 60 seconds, tell you about Lear Capital.

If you woke up tomorrow and the bottom had completely fallen out from under the U.S.

dollar, would you and your family be okay?

Would you have other means to make sure that you made it through the financial crisis?

The reason this is important to ask is because kind of, that's pretty much what's happening happening here.

I don't know if anyone's noticed this.

The bottom has been slowly rotting out from under the dollar for a really long time.

And there's no reason to suspect that that's changing anytime soon.

It's really important for you and your family to make the preparations that you can so that when the dam bursts, you're protected.

If you start with your finances, one of the most important things you can do is to build a hedge against further inflation.

And I can't tell you enough about, and we've been talking about this for a while now, Lear Capital and gold.

Is gold the right thing for you?

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

It is Stu.

Glenn is in technical prison right now,

technology prison.

He will be joining us momentarily as we kind of go through the news of the day, and there's so much.

And Jonathan Turley hit on something I think is really important,

which is this sort of invasion into the world of free speech echoes so many things going on right now, right?

Like free speech used to be something we would all agree on.

Left and right would at the very least say that they agreed with free speech.

They would argue that their side was the one that protected free speech the most.

And that's really kind of dead right now.

The left is no longer even pretending that they're that they're protecting free speech.

They're now talking about, you know, they need to, they need to eliminate hate speech.

If you ask most people on the left, not necessarily constitutional scholars on the left or, you know, politicians and media members, but just the average person who votes Democrat, they believe that not only should hate speech be barred by the Constitution, they believe it is.

They believe it is banned by the Constitution.

And look, nobody likes hate speech.

I'm talking about real hate speech.

Nobody wants that to be around.

However, it is part part of the fundamental foundation of this country that it is allowed, even if it's terrible.

And that is something that has been the basis of this country for a very long time and something that kind of just everybody seemed to agree with.

Another example of this is the idea that the color of your skin doesn't matter, right?

It was something that mattered for way too many people for a very long time.

And then we kind of theoretically got past that.

That didn't mean that racism didn't exist, but it meant that people could agree that the ideal was

nobody cared about skin color.

It was something that we all supposedly were together on.

We all agreed that we weren't going to go down these roads anymore.

And I think you saw with this Trump situation yesterday at the National Association of Black Journalists that there is an extreme desire by the media and the left to bring us back to a time in which skin color was not only an important thing, but the most important thing.

Gender, skin color, they would flush out all of the rest of the

merit-based arguments that I thought was supposed to be the foundation of how we made decisions.

Now they want to make decisions based on race.

And Glenn, you know, free speech is under attack.

The idea of color blindness is under attack.

All of these things that we used to agree on now seem to be the enemy.

So, do you know, you know what I always think of when I ponder this kind of thing?

Because I look at it and go, they're not progressive.

They're not.

We're going backwards.

It's not making progress.

I think of that line from the, what is it, Godfather 3.

Just when I thought we were out, they drag us back in.

And that's really what's happening.

You know, we had made so much progress.

We weren't perfect, but we really had made so much progress.

Did we need a wake-up call to continue doing that?

Probably, but I know my generation was probably the first generation that

had those grandparents that were saying racist thing, you know, the Archie bunkers,

and had those grandparents.

And we learned that's not good

and grew up learning about Martin Luther King and how good he was and that's the way it is.

And I really think in 2007 we had problems in America,

but the average person

trusted each other.

You know what I mean?

The average person wasn't looking at skin color.

And I know that's not universal.

I'm not saying that we were perfect by any stretch, but I think especially in the younger people, they weren't looking at that anymore because it had been, you know, two or three generations and

we had made so much progress.

And then what happens?

They drag us back into it.

And now we've got probably 50 years of work to get just back to where we were.

It's sad.

It's really sad.

All right, coming up in in just a minute, we're going to continue our conversation on some of the news of the day.

And I have to tell you, I want to go back to

the

Trump conversation yesterday with the media, kind of on this same topic.

What did he say

that was inaccurate?

Because he wasn't saying she's not biracial.

He was saying she is inauthentic.

It is stu in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

And we've been talking about this

bizarre,

I don't want to call it an interview because it wasn't.

It was, I don't know,

an extended verbal assault of Donald Trump at the National Association of Black Journalists gathering on Wednesday.

And

there was a bunch of stuff that came out of this, honestly.

There were several clips that the media is excited about.

And

I guess you can, I think, pretty fairly question why Donald Trump bothered to go to this gathering in the first place.

I don't know what the other outcome was.

We obviously knew what was going on here.

These are not,

there's not a lot of conservative black journalists involved in the National Association of Black Journalists.

This is a left-wing, you know, mainstream media/slash left-wing

organization.

I don't know if there's any separation between those two groups anymore, but maybe at one point there was a little bit.

Now, it seems like they're just kind of moving in unison.

And

this group brought in Trump.

Now, Trump, we played the clip earlier when he answered the very first question, which was just straight out, like,

here's all the racist things you say.

Why are you so racist?

Was essentially every single question, some version of that.

And look, if I'm a campaign advisor to Donald Trump, I ask, why bother?

What's the upside here?

You know what's going to happen.

They're going to come in here and yell at you for an hour.

And

he was told, apparently, that Kamala Harris was also going to be there.

So I don't know.

Seemingly that they either misled him in some way or she dropped out last second.

It's hard to know exactly what the true background is.

But the main clip that came out of this was Donald Trump's answer on a question by an ABC reporter about Kamala Harris's racial identity

now

look

I we're just talking about this you know 15 minutes ago

there honestly to me could be nothing less important I don't care about a racial identity.

I don't care about anybody's racial identity.

It's a stupid thing to be talking about.

But the media is constantly talking about.

And certainly when you go to an organization that has segregated itself by race,

the National Association of Black Journalists, you're going to get a focus on race.

That is what's going to happen in a situation like that.

And so this is one of the many racially focused questions Trump was asked in an aggressive manner during this interview.

And here's how it went.

Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she is a black woman?

Well, I can say no.

I think it's maybe a little bit different.

So

I've known her a long time indirectly, not directly very much, and she was always of Indian heritage.

And she was only promoting Indian heritage.

I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black.

And now she wants to be known as black.

So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black?

She is always identified as a black woman when she was starting to black college.

I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn, and she went, she became a black reporter.

Just to be clear, sir, do you believe that?

I think somebody should look into that too.

Trump obviously loves this stuff.

He loves going into these situations.

He loves fighting with reporters.

He loves taking them down these roads.

This is something that Donald Trump likes to do.

I think he enjoys doing it.

And we should get into his actual answer here in a second.

But what's

first of all, the reporter herself, she's talking, she's from ABC News, and she's in the middle of this like, I don't know, almost like this Twitter conversation with Donald Trump.

She's trying to answer all of his claims when he says he was the best president since Abraham Lincoln.

She's like, well, what about Lyndon Baines Johnson?

Like, that's not journalism.

Like, that's just an argument some Democrat would make.

Just

outwardly saying the things that some left-winger on Twitter would say,

that might be an appropriate thing for a back and forth.

You know, like you want to go into some version of Crossfire or, you know, some panel show where there's a bunch of panelists just arguing with each other.

Like you can absolutely get that as an argument.

You want to make that argument that the guy who said the N-word constantly is really the best friend of the black population with Lyndon Baines Johnson?

You can do that if you want, but that's not journalism.

That's just somebody making a left-wing point.

That's essentially what you'd think someone like Kamala Harris would say if she were on stage.

And of course, that is basically what you have here.

You have a left-wing person posing as a journalist, saying left-wing things.

But fundamentally here,

the answer to this question,

did Kamala Harris

become vice president only because she was black?

It's an interesting question.

Obviously, it's asked with a specific tone in mind here.

The accusation is if you believe that she only got this job because she was black, you're a racist.

That's the implication of the question.

And I think we can all pretty honestly say we don't know everything that went into the decision-making process of Joe Biden picking Kamala Harris.

To me, it seems like a bit of insanity.

Maybe dementia had kicked in because it's a terrible choice and she's been a terrible vice president.

And if she is elected president, she will be a terrible president.

But we don't know everything that went into that decision.

We may never know everything that went into that decision.

I can't imagine Joe Biden remembers exactly how he made that decision.

He can't remember what he had for lunch last Tuesday.

But there are a couple of things we do know about that decision-making process.

There are a couple of standards that were put out there publicly by Joe Biden that he seemingly stuck to very, very closely.

One aspect of this decision-making process was that the skin color had to be appropriate.

There had to be a person of color who was chosen to be this vice president.

We know that because he said it in advance.

We also know

that a particular set of genitals and reproductive organs were a requirement of getting this job.

We know he was going to put a woman of color into this job.

He successfully eliminated approximately 98% of the population before he made the decision.

We know that because he said it

over and over again.

We know exactly how this occurred.

We can all theorize that there were additional requirements and additional reasons Kamala Harris was picked as vice president.

We can all make these

arguments up in our minds.

We can all formulate how we would have done it.

We can all think about how Biden may have done it.

We can think about he may have, he may have had a bingo set out and he may have picked bingo balls to see randomly which president was going to be picked or which vice presidential candidate was going to be picked.

We have no idea how he made that decision outside of the fact that he picked because of gender and race.

That's what we know.

That's the only thing we know.

You can make up a decision-making process in your mind that you think he went through, but the one we know he went through was eliminating every white person, every Asian person.

And I say Asian because I don't understand these groups.

She's also, also, Kamala's apparently also the first Asian VP.

So apparently she didn't, he did, he didn't eliminate Asian people, but he did eliminate every other race and every other gender, every one of the 96 genders except woman that apparently they've learned how to define.

We know that because he said it.

So when you ask, was Kamala Harris only

the VP pick because of the color of their skin, we can't guarantee it was only the reason.

We just know it had to be part of it.

We can't say that it was the only reason she was selected as vice president.

We just know it was a qualification for being considered.

To me, that's a terrible decision.

To me, that is a horrible way to go through a process.

About 12% of the population is black.

So 88% of the population is immediately disqualified.

About half of the black population is male.

So six more percent were immediately qualified, which leaves you only with what 6% of the population.

About a third of those are too old.

About a third of those are too young, we can assume,

which leaves you with about 2% of the population.

Now, is Kamala Harris the most qualified black woman to become vice president?

I can guarantee you the answer to that is no.

However, that's what Joe Biden apparently selected.

But at no point did he try to make you believe she was the most qualified person because he eliminated 98% of the population before considering anyone.

If you don't believe me, read the reporting from CNN at the time.

When he was down to the last four people for the role, all of them were black women.

All of them.

He couldn't find anyone in any racial group.

Why?

He didn't look.

He didn't look at Hispanic candidates.

He didn't look at Native American candidates.

He didn't look at anyone other than black women.

Why?

Quite clearly because he was pandering to an audience and because identity politics and racial makeup and gender is more important than merit.

Was Kamala Harris the most qualified person?

I can guarantee you the answer to that is no, but

I don't think Joe Biden can because he didn't even look at these other groups.

How do we know that a more qualified black man was not available?

Joe Biden doesn't know.

You might know.

Joe Biden doesn't know because he never looked.

The question is whether that is the appropriate decision-making process.

And when you're asked a question, like,

is she the only VP because she's black well I don't know

representative of the National Association of Black Journalists I don't make decisions based on race do you

seems like it when I look at the title of your organization it sure seems like it

Axios posted a fact check or sorry a reality check a reality check of Donald Trump And they say Trump says immigrants are taking black jobs.

Reality check.

There are no black black jobs because there is not any kind of racial requirement for employment.

Well, there is when you want to be the vice president of the United States.

We know that because Biden told us.

And I don't know, maybe there aren't black jobs.

Are there black journalists?

Is there a national association of those black journalists?

Do they exist?

This is nonsense.

And over and over again, they go down these roads.

It's Stu Infer Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Go to Patty in Connecticut.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program, Patty.

Thank you for taking my call.

You know, in response to your question, I think President Trump has a record that's a winning record for the United States and the world.

And I think he would do best to stay with that strategy.

His record, in contrast with Vice President Harris' record,

and their strategy is to take him off records and bring them to other areas which may cause conflict.

They can't win on her record.

He can win on his record, and he can win by using her own words, videos of hers, which there are many of, to point out the differences in their records.

And his is a winning record for the country, for energy, for people, for the equality of our lives.

Hers completely brings the country to a lower level, less quality of life in all respects.

He would do best to discipline himself to stay on her record.

In her own words, she talks about forcibly removing guns from the American people.

She talks about food.

She talks about what she would do with energy.

Her record is not a record that puts the United States in a winning.

It lowers the standard of every American in this country, in the world.

President Trump to bring the country up.

She's looking to lower lower the standard.

The diversion

is intentional on their part.

Yeah, and I appreciate it, Patty.

We're running out of time, but I appreciate it.

And I couldn't agree more.

This is why last night on Studios America, I did an entire monologue on Kamala Hara's

flip-flops and her record.

I think that's crucial.

The media is doing everything they can to push this in other directions.

And I agree.

Like, Trump's got to be disciplined on this stuff and push this stuff back to her record.

If people look at her record, remember, this is, is Biden was a president with a 36%

approval rating before the debate.

This has not been a good presidency.

She does not have a good record.

And we have to sit here and focus on what she's done and what she's been involved in over the next four years or last four years.

It's really important.

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

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Well, what an adventure it has been.

It's Stu in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

You know, I've had a lot of crazy stuff happen.

A lot of wild things have occurred over the past month or so, but I don't know.

Even I think a week or so ago, I would think that we would not be a society that would watch men punching women in the face and cheer it on.

I was kind of hoping that was beyond the line.

Apparently it is not.

We will get into that and so much more with Ali Beth Stuckey.

She's coming up here in just a second.

The first pause to tell you about American financing.

It used to be the case that, you know, you'd look at your paycheck and all you'd have to be unhappy about was the amount taken out in taxes.

Those were the good old days.

Now when you look at it, you also have to consider what high inflation is doing to that remaining amount.

And that's after your mortgage, your usual expenses, the credit card debt hanging over your head.

But for over two decades, American Financing has been helping people just like you get to where they need to be.

And they can help you and your family as well.

They've helped my family.

So give American Financing a call.

You might be surprised at what options you didn't even know that you had-from mortgage refinances to other forms of debt consolidation and even accessing the high equity you have in your home.

Well, you know, it's still high to pay off high interest debts.

American Financing could be saving you hundreds of dollars a month, maybe as much as a thousand bucks a month.

That's real money.

Don't waste the opportunity to better your financial future, both for yourself and for your family.

Call American Financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

The host of Relatable on Blaze TV, also author of the upcoming book, Toxic Empathy.

It comes out on October 15th.

You can pre-order it now.

Also, host of a great event coming up here in Dallas, Share the Arrows.

We're going to get into that in a moment.

It's Allie Bethsucki.

Welcome, Ali.

Hello.

Thanks so much for having me.

Yeah, so great to see you.

We are in such a crazy time.

It's really hard to find perspective right now.

I keep going online, which is a mistake, I admit.

Going on the internet, going on Twitter, going on X.

It just, I don't know.

It's getting necessary evil.

I guess it is.

And I went on the last couple of days.

I'm not watching the Olympics all that closely.

And I am watching highlight after highlight of a man who apparently is posing as a woman

repeatedly assaulting a woman on

a stage, basically in a ring, while thousands of people gather around and cheer.

Yep.

That does not seem like the world I was familiar with, even a couple of months ago, which was already a crazy world.

What the hell is happening to us?

Right.

Domestic violence, but make it Olympics.

And apparently that's fine.

I mean, we are literally watching domestic violence, a man kind of dressed up as a woman, but not even really trying that hard, beating up on a woman to the point to where this woman had to bow out of the competition.

She said, you know, after they fought the first time, I've never been hit so hard in my life, of course, because while these women boxers are very strong, very powerful, I would never want to go up against them.

It's not the same.

They will be the first to say that it's not the same hitting each other as it is going up against the man.

I mean, it shouldn't have to be said, but the differences, I guess, have to be articulated these days, even beyond chromosome.

He's got a bigger heart, he's got a bigger lung capacity, more muscle mass.

He's got denser bones, he's got longer arms, he's got bigger hands, he has testosterone pulsing through his body, even if he is on some kind of hormone treatment, so-called.

If you go through male puberty, the testosterone and the changes that it makes in your body, they're basically irreversible.

You are stronger, bigger than a woman, feet bigger, legs longer, all of that stuff.

And plus just the aggression that testosterone gives you.

Like a woman just doesn't stand a chance.

Even an awesome woman like Angela Carini, who is representing Italy.

And yeah, people are just watching it happen and even saying, well, this man seems to have, maybe he has some kind of disorder, maybe he has some kind of so-called intersex disorder.

We don't know that.

There's no way to prove it.

I've seen a lot of reports that, no, he does have X, Y, he does have a ton of testosterone.

He didn't pass previous tests.

It just said female on his passport.

So that was, I guess, enough for the standards for the Olympics in Paris.

And I'm thinking, even if he does have some kind of disorder that we don't really know, why boxing?

Like, okay, you know this about yourself.

You know that you are a male, or at least least that you have insane levels of masculinity versus a standard woman.

So go do archery or go do shot put or like play handball or something.

But you are choosing hand-to-hand combat with a woman.

And I cannot believe that that's not intentional.

It's incomprehensible that it's even allowed,

let alone

that there's audiences willing to cheer for this.

Because I mean, you know, Riley Gaines has made this point in wonderful ways many, many times.

Jennifer Say made it as well.

This idea that these poor women who have worked their entire lives get into a competition like swimming or like basketball or whatever it is.

And

because of just ridiculous, woke nonsense, they are, their dreams are taken away from them, right?

Because they're fighting an unfair competition.

That is one thing.

It is important.

I don't want to demean it.

It's vitally important.

This is a totally different level.

We're talking about assault here.

We're talking about, I mean, I watched the, unfortunately, watched the highlight of this female boxer you mentioned getting hit in the face.

The way her neck jars around, it's like

a Rocky movie.

Yeah.

It's like a movie where actors are trying to make the hit look as brutal as possible.

And she takes one punch and walks to the side and...

just loses it with her emotions

because her dreams, and she's an incredibly talented and powerful boxer in the female division but she has absolutely no chance they've ripped it away from her and she's lucky she's not in the hospital yeah i mean obviously being hit comes with the territory when you're a boxer that is what she chose to do and she has been training for that her whole life she's been hit a million times by other women but again she did not sign up for being hit by a man.

That's not what she signed up for.

And I know we've made this point, people have made this point a million times, but there is a reason why you don't see the woman who is pretending to be a man sign up for mailboxing.

Like, oh yeah, like I'm 5'4, 125 pounds.

I identify as a guy now, and I would like to go up against the guys in boxing.

It's just interesting how that happens.

And yeah, it's, it's crazy.

Like even on the heels of me too, when you had all these celebrities saying, time's up, time's up.

And what they were talking about is exposing the guys in secret abusing women, but I guess the guys who do it out in the open are fine.

It's amazing.

And we're told that we're the weird ones, right?

We're weird.

Weird.

We're weird.

It's so weird.

And that, a man punching a woman in the face repeatedly, that's normal,

I guess.

This has also been sort of,

it's hard to separate this from politics.

I think it's

the path we're on.

Like, we have these two paths.

You have the path of, you know, I look back at the, you know, Trump after the assassination attempts.

He puts his arm up, his right arm up in the air, and he says, fight, fight, fight.

And then I couldn't help but compare it to the opening ceremonies, the guy, the naked guy painted blue.

At the same point, he sort of does the same gesture.

And you put those two things next to each other and you're like,

which way are we going here as a country?

The attack of weird has been something I think it's been difficult for conservatives to even comprehend what to do with.

Yeah, I have so many thoughts.

Yeah, you've been great on this on Twitter.

See, there are good things on Twitter.

Yeah.

How do you fight this off?

How do people handle this?

How do Christian conservatives deal with an attack like this?

Yeah.

Well, first of all, I just want to say when it comes to

this man beating up on this woman, I think it's probably safe to assume that Kamala Harris is for something like this.

I mean, she's been on board with the men identifying as women, going into women's sports, going into women's spaces.

I've never seen her as a woman and a supposed feminist stand up against that.

So I just have to assume that she's actually okay with violence against women as long as the one doing it is a man who identifies as a woman.

And if that's not her position, then she should absolutely be made to denounce that and to articulate what exactly her position is.

In some ways, that would be smart politically for her, right?

She could do that sister soldier thing and just be like, yeah, call it out.

It's the most egregious thing we can all imagine.

Just take that one little step and it actually probably would appeal to the middle, but I doubt she'll do it.

No, she won't because she has been fighting on behalf of the most powerful lobbies, the most powerful people in the LGBTQ lobby and abortion lobby,

the most powerful lobbies in the world.

And she is a very power-hungry, bloodthirsty person.

She has been the most pro-abortion politician, and that is why she has to lob this insult that is just, well, they're weird.

And unfortunately, this is an effective strategy because it's very sticky.

That word weird is very

intangible, but it just kind of works because it's hard to rebut it.

Right.

You're weird.

No, I'm not.

Or no, I'm not.

You're weird.

Or I know you are, but what am I?

Yes.

And it's kind of like when they just call anyone racist and then they put you on the defense.

And so I've been thinking about this a lot.

Like, how do we counter that?

Because I could see how that insult is actually effective for a certain

demographic of women who maybe aren't looking into the policy differences.

They're really going on vibes.

And, you know, I've, we all have, but spent several years kind of preaching to women: like, it can't just be about personality.

It can't just be about feelings.

It's got to be about policy.

But you know what?

I'm kind of done doing that because there's a huge set, most of my audience is looking at policy, but then there's a segment who is going off vibes, who is going off feelings.

I'm not going to change that in the next 100 days.

So, how am I going to shift this around?

If they think that they're weird, that they're creepy, what's the only thing worse than a weird guy?

And that's a mean girl.

Kamala Harris is a mean girl.

She is a bully.

She is calloused.

She is calculating.

She has spent her entire career pushing vulnerable and weak people to the side so she can gain power.

The first person, Blanche Brown, Willie Brown's wife, she decided to push her to the side so she could gain power.

David DeLeiden, the pro-life journalist investigating Planned Parenthood for trafficking baby parts.

Kamala Harris went after him.

Kamala Harris, when she was AG, went after these pro-life pregnancy centers, forcing them to advertise for abortion.

Of course, that law got overturned because it's unconstitutional.

And then as a senator, she did the same thing, punishing babies who were born alive after abortion, saying that they should not have a right to care.

And then in her latest iteration of being a mean girl, she pushed Joe Biden to the side, this feeble old guy, because she wanted power.

She's a mean girl.

She calls people weird who she doesn't understand.

And she's not really calling J.D.

Vance weird.

She's calling you weird.

She's calling you, homeschool mom, weird.

She's calling you, patriotic veteran, weird.

She's calling you, worshiping Christian, weird.

People who are just trying to get by, who work on the oil rig, the farmers, the ranchers, the people that she stands against, she thinks you're weird.

You're not a part of her cool crowd.

You're not a part of the cocktail circuit.

You don't have the approval of the Obamas and the Clintons the way that she does.

She is a mean, calculating, calloused person who I've heard is a horror to work with.

And that's who she is.

So when she calls a beloved father and grandfather in Donald Trump and a beloved husband and father in J.D.

Vance weird, she's calling you average American weird because she is mean and she is calloused.

That is the last person you want as president.

If that doesn't get you to subscribe to Blaze TV to watch Relatable with Ali Bestucky, I don't know what will.

And it's really, really important for people to understand

that

there are people that are different than us.

Like,

if you're watching the Blaze every day and you're listening and you're watching the Glenn Beck program or listening to the Glenn Beck program for hours and hours a week, you probably are different than a lot of the people around you.

I think it's a good weird, but it's a weird in that you are invested in the details of healthcare policy, where not everybody is.

So it's important to understand this.

And you talk about this a bunch of ways to win these sort of cultural battles.

And one you've described is called, you just call it share the arrows.

It's a great, it's a great concept.

Can you describe it and tell us what the event is with the same name?

Yeah, so a good example of that is this Italian boxer, Angela Carini.

You see all of these people, I won't even say conservatives, just on the side of sanity and decency, coming out in support of her, saying that they stand with her.

She's dealing with a lot of disappointment and pain in so many ways right now.

People are coming around her and sharing the arrows with her.

They are saying, you know what, you know, the activists over there are going to be calling her names, transphobic, weak, scared, all of those, all of those terrible pejoratives.

And instead of saying, ooh, I'm glad that's not me.

I'm glad I'm not in the crosshairs.

I'm glad that I'm not the one getting bullied.

Sharing the arrows means that we stand up and we say, okay, whatever arrows the enemy is throwing your way, they can send them my way too.

Whatever names you call that person, you can call that to me too, or you can call me that too.

I believe what she does, or I at least stand up for her right to do that, say that, whatever the controversial, weird position is.

I'm weird too.

And so that is sharing the arrows.

There's power in numbers.

Courage is contagious.

And so we've had very, we've had a lot of scenarios where someone in my audience or someone in the public sphere has been bullied for their conservative Christian position.

And people in my audience have come around them, prayed for them, encouraged them, supported them, followed them, donated to them.

That's sharing the arrows, and it can be really effective.

And you have an event coming up in September.

Yes.

How do people get involved in that?

Yeah, they can go to sharethearrows.com and we will have Rosaria Butterfield, Elisa Childers, Abby Halberstadt.

A lot of y'all are familiar with them.

If you're not, you can look them up on Instagram.

They're all amazing Christian women.

We've got Francesca Battistelli.

She's going to be leading worship.

Right now, we have about 3,000 women already signed up, and we're hoping for even more.

And so, come alone, come with your friends, come with your small group, come with your family.

And we're going to be sharing the arrows together, getting on the same page, making sure that we are encouraged, that we are all staying sane and stable together in the craziness of this election season.

So, that's sharethearrows.com.

I know you have a show to do, and I need to get you out of here, but can you give us a quick preview of your book coming up here in October?

Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion.

And this is for anyone, but it's specifically for the Christian woman.

And we go through five big issues, abortion, gender, sexuality, immigration, social justice, and the lies that the left tells through story, through narrative, through emotional manipulation that pulls on your heartstrings and begs you to come to the conclusion that the progressive position on all of these issues is the loving, kind, and even Christian one.

And so we actually counter it with our own narrative, our own anecdotes of the actual victim in abortion or gender ideology, et cetera.

And then we look at all the facts, all of the history, all the biblical truth that supports what I believe is the biblical position.

Some people would say it's the conservative position on all of these things.

So people will be fully equipped to have these very contentious conversations that are coming out this election season.

And they can be contentious.

That is very true.

So you can go to toxicempathy.com, check it out there.

Toxicempathy.com.

That book comes out in October, but pre-order it now.

Just get it out of the way so it's going to show up right at the top.

And then the event, Share of the Arrows, is September 28th, right?

Is that right?

Yes, yes, September 28th, in Dallas.

Yep.

Make sure to check that out as well.

And of course, relatable with Ali Beth Stuckey right here on Blaze TV.

Allie, thanks so much.

Appreciate it.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Let's take a quick break.

Come back here in just a second, tell you about Rough Greens.

Norma wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.

She says, after just four days, my white lab's hot spots on her skin weren't bothering her as much as they had been before.

Also, at 13, she wasn't eating very much before, but so far with rough greens, she's cleaning her bowl.

It's great to see that it keeps her going because she's a great dog.

Thank you, Rough Greens.

Norma, thank you for writing in and for giving your dog rough greens.

It sounds like your dog is doing much better.

That's great.

It isn't a dog food, rough greens.

It is a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog food.

And remember, brown food is dead food.

You want the greens.

You name it.

If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably already in rough greens.

What Allie described is exactly what Blaze TV is about.

It's about standing up for people who have been beaten down by this system, who are victims of this system, about people who are being fired from their jobs because they spoke their mind.

That is what Blaze TV is about.

It's about defending those people.

It's about stepping up and telling the truth as we see it without fear.

And I think if you watched the event Donald Trump attended the other night or yesterday,

if you watched any of the highlights of that, you can see where the media is coming from.

when it comes to this election cycle.

There's only 100 days really here.

It's less than 100 days now until the election.

People need to know the truth, and you need to be equipped with the tools to be able to push back when you hear something that's not true.

That's why Blaze TV exists, and we really can't encourage you enough to join.

Read the new fiction novel from Glenn Beck, Chasing Embers.

Available everywhere now.

Yeah, and my understanding is it's going to be on the New York Times bestseller list.

I haven't seen where yet, but kind of a big deal.

Usually,

yeah, I've heard it's going to be on there, so that's kind of a big deal.

And we'll get you more details on that here coming up.

Because usually with Glenn's Glenn's books, like you could sell 25 million copies, and he doesn't even show up on the list.

We'll see what happens with this one.

Chasing Ember is available now wherever you get your books.

And by the way, if you have been, it's Stu, by the way, in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

He's back tomorrow.

If you're worried about the future of the country, you should know that the Party of Democracy is here.

The Party of Democracy is here for you.

They are so in love with democracy.

They're worried about the future of democracy because of people like Donald Trump.

But they are here to extend democracy to you in most ways, not every way.

You know, for example, when they were setting up the primary, the Democratic primary this year, they decided to take out all the states that Joe Biden lost.

and reorder them so that the states he won came first.

And some people would say, eh, it doesn't sound all that democratic, but you know, what do those people know?

And then they did everything they could to twist arms to make sure no actual challengers got in the race, you know, outside of Marianne Williamson, got in the race to go up against Joe Biden.

And they basically pushed all the serious contenders out of the primary.

So it's not exactly that kind of democracy, but well, also not the kind of democracy where you actually hold all the primaries because, you know, they actually were canceling primaries in various states.

But,

other than that, they love democracy.

Well, they also did try to get third-party candidates thrown off the ballots in state after state after state, like RFK Jr.

and Jill Stein

and

Cornell West.

And state after state after state, they opposed them getting on the ballots, tried to make everything incredibly difficult for them to actually enter the race.

But, you know, other than that, they want you to have your democratic choices.

Well, and then also they, in in addition to that, they did try to get Donald Trump thrown off the ballot and say he was, it was unconstitutional that he was allowed on it in multiple states.

You know, but other than that, these people love democracy.

Well, they did try to get their opponent thrown in prison.

That, that did happen multiple times, 90-something charges against the guy.

And they tried to get him off the ballot because he was a criminal and then tried to convict him of multiple felonies and then did convict him of felonies and then are going to try to put him in prison.

Now, most of these efforts have failed, but there's still one.

We still have a sentencing date.

I think a lot of people are forgetting.

We'll see how that one works out coming up soon.

But other than that, they absolutely adore

democracy.

Well,

also, they did have a primary, even though it was a sham primary, and one guy guy won it, and then they had a coup against him and threw him off the ballot.

But

other than that, they love democracy.

And remember when Barack Obama announced

his wonder and admiration of Joe Biden for being such an incredible president, you know, he had up to a 36% approval rating even before the debates, and that was amazing.

But as Barack Obama came in, he said he looked forward.

He looked forward to finding out the incredible in-depth process that would occur, that his party leaders would come together to discuss

who would become the next nominee now that Joe Biden was stepping down.

That process was very important to Joe Biden.

He made sure everyone knew it in his letter supporting Joe Biden and his unfortunate stepping down from the nomination.

Not because he can't do the job,

not because he's incompetent and mentally fading on a daily basis, because he's still president, and that's fine.

Look, he can do the most difficult job in the world without problem, but he can't run for, he can't do interviews or do speeches.

That's way over the line.

So he was mentally incompetent to do that, but not mentally incompetent to be president of the United States.

Kind of says a lot about the job, I guess, when you think about it.

But

they were going to have this great process.

And that process, we now know what that process looks like.

Are you excited to hear?

Here it is.

Harris, Kamala Harris, officially has no opponents for the Democratic nomination.

So there you go.

We went through all that.

The process, the democracy-loving party that wanted this deep and involved process to replace the candidate that was already chosen by democracy.

They decided to have no opponents whatsoever, even possible for anyone to put a protest vote in.

It's just Kamala Harris or bust now.

And look, she is now going to be announcing her vice president.

This is going to happen next week on Tuesday in Philadelphia.

A lot of people are speculating that it might be Josh Shapiro because of the location, though I will say, in the past, that has not necessarily been indicative.

The announcement placed necessarily, isn't necessarily associated with the state of the candidate being chosen.

We will see if that

continues tomorrow.

And so much of this has been focused on either the weirdness of various Republicans or that Kamala Harris is breaking all sorts of ceilings.

She would be the first female president, the first black female president, the first Indian American female president, the first

Asian president, South Asian president.

I've heard so many different ceilings that she's she's broken and broken for so many different people.

You know,

in the future, we'll have a Japanese American, maybe the descendant of someone put into internment camps by Democrats, will rise to the point where they become president of the United States and everyone will have to sit back and say, nope, you're not the first Asian president.

That was Kamala Harris.

If she happens to win, and God forbid, she does.

But a lot has not been really focused on her policy.

And this is something we went into last night on Studos America in more depth, but I wanted to touch on at least a few of these things that she is flip-flopping on because

there's something that goes on in a process.

Yes, we see this from time to time.

Candidates come on, they run through a primary, they take maybe left-wing positions in the primary, they have to moderate a little bit as they go to the general.

We're all sort of used to that.

What we're not used to is there not actually being a primary or at least one that they stuck to the results of.

So Kamala Harris ran into primary, but that was a few years ago.

Now she's running after not winning a primary.

In fact, she's never won a primary delegate in her entire life, yet she's the presidential nominee that everyone's super excited about.

And

now people are looking back at her former positions.

Let me go through a couple of them.

And these are important, particularly maybe this one, if you happen to live in the state where she's going to be announcing her vice president.

Kamala Harris in 2019 was viscerally opposed to fracking.

She hated it.

Every single time she went on TV, she would talk about climate science and how it shows that fracking is really, really bad.

It pollutes our environment.

It hurts our country.

We need solar panels and windmills and pinwheels and

hamster wheels or whatever else we're going to generate electricity from.

2019, she said, while

she was one of the several Democrats vying for the 2020 nomination, she told CNN, quote, there's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.

And if you've ever seen this video, I mean, she is passionate about it.

There is no question in her mind.

It's insane to frack.

This is terrible, terrible for the country and the environment.

And I don't know what climate scientist has stepped up to tell her that fracking is actually suddenly good for global warming, our greatest existential threat.

But now, Harris does not support the fracking ban, says a campaign official.

Donald Trump called her out on this.

She wants no fracking.

He said during a rally in Charlotte, you're going to be paying a lot of money.

You're going to be paying so much.

You're going to be saying

bring back Trump.

A spokesperson, though, for Harris's campaign pushed back, saying Trump's false claims about fracking bans are an obvious attempt to distract from his own plans to enrich oil and gas executives at the expense of the middle class.

Now, she said it on record a dozen times,

two dozen times, over and over and over again.

She was for a fracking ban, but a campaign official, not her, but a campaign official, has come out and told us, no, actually, now she's not for that.

All right.

I guess we'll just accept that.

Any journalists going to follow up?

Anyone going to ask her about how that happened?

What's the decision-making process?

Was there a climate consensus that said fracking is suddenly okay?

Now, we saw Donald Trump talk to, he was kind of against Bitcoin in his first,

when he was president.

Didn't really like it that much.

I wouldn't say he was viscerally against it as Kamala Harris was against fracking, but he wasn't really a fan of it.

And then he sort of changed his opinion.

You can change your opinions over a four-year process or an eight-year process.

Sure, of course.

How did he do that?

Well, he went to the biggest Bitcoin conference and made a major speech about how he now supported

passionately Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

That's how you change your opinion if you change your opinion.

Kamala Harris is having a campaign official

tell various news institutions that they've changed their mind to some opposing position.

Unsurprisingly, the more popular position.

She hasn't had to explain it.

She hasn't even been asked about it by journalists.

Only campaign officials are enough, apparently, to reverse these positions.

How about firearms?

She supported a mandatory buyback on assault weapons back in 2019.

Has that changed?

Well, campaign officials tell us it has.

The reload got in touch with them, and Kamala Harris is now walking back her past calls for AR-15 confiscation.

They say that she will not push for a mandatory buyback as president.

She does support red flag laws, though.

She wanted to let us know that.

Shockingly enough, she's taken a more popular position, but hasn't had to explain her transition.

That's the news story here.

When you change a major position, you have to explain that.

The candidate explains it.

Not a campaign official leaking to the media that all of a sudden she's changed her mind when she hasn't even admitted that, let alone explained it.

How about ending private health care insurance?

She wants to end private health care insurance, which was at the time a democratic litmus test according to MSNBC.

Back in 2019, she wanted to end it.

She wanted to take your insurance from you so that it would be provided only from the government.

This isn't even a move toward Obamacare or even single-payer.

This is a move to the British system, a known catastrophe.

But now she is, and you're going to hear this word quite a bit, get used to it, Harris is recalibrating her policy as she adjusts to her new role.

Her campaign confirmed this week she no longer supports a single-payer healthcare system.

Is someone to make her answer for this?

Is she going to have to explain it at any time?

I hope so.

I think it would be fascinating to see.

But we will see if the media actually decides to do their job.

They did it when they wanted Biden out.

They were magical, incredible journalists for two weeks.

And now they're all back into their caves, hibernating.

We will see if anything changes in the coming weeks.

Triple 8727 Beck, back in a second.

I'm going to tell you first about Pre-Born.

I want to consider something for a second.

We are about to have an election in a few months, and there is a very real chance that we could see the most pro-abortion president we have ever had in this country get into office in November.

The fight did not end with the reversal of Roe versus Wade.

We've talked about this.

We told you at the time that this is the case.

It's really only getting started.

They were overturning of Roe versus Wade was just us being allowed to make the arguments against abortion without being stopped constantly by it's unconstitutional to let to stop abortion.

Well, Pre-Born has been making this argument for a long time.

They are the largest pro-life organization in the country.

They are leading the charge to put an end to the atrocity of abortion.

Every day, they sponsor free ultrasounds for women, as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born.

When a mother sees her unborn child on that monitor, when she hears the heartbeat, she's twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby.

You can help with a donation of $28.

It sponsors one ultrasound, and it's very critical in the battle for life.

A lot of times, more critical than tweeting.

So, join together.

Well, the Party of Democracy has pointed out that Kamala Harris is going to be the nominee.

There's no other choices.

So this is going to happen, and the media is full force trying to make Kamala Harris into the most magical, amazing politician of all time.

And you might look at that effort and see it

with some skepticism.

You know, maybe you've seen Kamala Harris speak and you don't think she's all that.

Maybe you don't think she's basically some magical combination of Rosa Parks and Barack Obama all rolled into one.

And that's because you don't understand her wisdom.

You don't understand how deep she goes.

You don't understand

her

incredible intellectual ability when it comes to deciphering complex world events.

And that's the reason we created a series called Veep Thoughts with Kamala Harris.

And now,

Veep Thoughts by Kamala Harris.

So, Ukraine is a country in Europe.

It exists next to another country called Russia.

Russia is a bigger country.

Russia is a powerful country.

Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine.

So basically, that's wrong.

This has been Veep Thoughts by Kamala Harris.

I don't know how many votes we just moved over to Kamala Harris, but it had to be thousands.

When you hear, I mean, basically, that's wrong.

When you hear that type of analysis, I know

you finally can understand.

her incredible abilities and why she would be such a fabulous president.

I will say there's an entire collection of these moments available at VeepThoughts.com, V-E-E-Pthoughts.com.

Go there and check them out.

It's also on my YouTube page, youtube.com/slash StudozAmerica.

I want to alert you to this as well.

We've been doing sort of a rapid response thing.
