Welcome to the podcast.

Today, I mean, there's so much going on right now in the news.

We talk to Jonathan Turley, the constitutional scholar, who walks us through the efforts made by the left to try to target news organizations that are conservative and get them thrown off the internet and destroy their sources of revenue.

We have Ali Beth Stuckey on.

She's fantastic talking about how to deal with a new set of attacks from the Democrats on Donald Trump and your values as well as the

controversy I guess of female boxing in the Olympics when I find female boxing to be rough anyway and I don't like it and I have no desire to watch women be punched in the face over and over again just not my thing however I will say the new variety in the Olympics is

transgendered women.

In other words, men punching women in the face over and over again for our entertainment.

How does that make you feel?

Is that the right thing to do?

We get into that a little bit today as well.

But first, Glenn, who's our sponsor?

Lear Capital.

You know,

some would say things are weird right now.

Not me.

No, no, not me.

People are weird, especially those Republicans.

What a bunch of weirdos.

Things are weird.

What will they do next?

I mean, next thing you know, the Republicans are going to say, hey, we shouldn't have

a national digital currency.

That could be really bad.

Mark of the beast.

You know, something like that.

Thank goodness you've got people who don't know what a woman is.

So I'm not sure that they can put that together.

Terrible changes will come, and we have to be prepared for it as a people.

You're listening to the best of the Blenbeck program.

Hello, Stu.

Glad, how are you?

Oh,

fantastic.

Now,

I say that 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 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 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.

A 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 is 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 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 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 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 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?

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 bitch.

Should we bring him up for a couple of minutes later?

You get ready, McCarthy.

You get ready.

You can see the head in the background in the right 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

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 else is ridiculous, especially the way they've been 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.

Donald Trump went to speak to the Black Journalists Journalists Association in Chicago.

Now, how do you think that went?

Hats off to Donald Trump for having the balls to walk in.

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 Cahonies to walk into my studio?

Clint, she's not even doing interviews with friendly sources.

She's done 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.

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.

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.

It's 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.

Mr.

President, I would love to hear it.

I think it's a very nasty question.

I have answered the 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 go to 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 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 Teddy 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 re-examine 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,

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.

I can't take it.

Good job, Donald Trump.

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.

Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

Every day, there are opportunities for you and I to make decisions that have a good effect on our country.

And some of them are enormous.

Some are just simple.

Maybe just changing the company you have your mobile service through.

I don't carry a cell phone, but I did get one a while back so I could support Patriot Mobile.

And if you're a fan of freedom, you know, and freedom-loving businesses that offer great service at a great price, you're going to want to switch too.

May I suggest you do it right now.

When you switch to Patriot Mobile, you're going to get a whole month for free.

It's a great way to start your new service.

They're America's only Christian conservative mobile company.

Their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.

They offer dependable nationwide coverage, so you can access any one of their three major networks that everybody's on.

They have affordable, excellent plans, and their 100% U.S.-based customer service team is going to help make switching easy.

Now back to the podcast.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

We have

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 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 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 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 twelve 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 twelve 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 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 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, you know, Israel's greatest concern.

It always wins, but

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...

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

US 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 is a price to be paid by iranians for indirectly waging war against Israel.

And we are now going to start to 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 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 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 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 I will see we will see to it that that will be the 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.

This is the best of the Glenbeck program.

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 what a great event coming up here in Dallas, Share the Arrows.

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

It's Ali Bethsucki.

Welcome, Ali.

Hello, thanks so much for having me.

Yeah, so great to see you.

We are in such a crazy time, and 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 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 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 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 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 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,

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 it's a it's a like a rocky movie yeah it's like a movie where actors are trying to make the hit look as brutal as possible yeah and she takes one punch and walks to the side and 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 male boxing.

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, totally, it's the path we're on.

Yeah.

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...

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,

it's 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's 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 JD 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 I, you know, 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're, 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 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 those terrible pejoratives.

And instead of saying, oh, 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 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 the Arrows, is September 28th, right?

Is that right?

Yes.

September 28th.

Yep.

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.
