Let me tell you you about American Giant.

There was a time in America when manufacturing, if it was made in America, you knew it was quality.

Hey, you just knew it.

Now,

I don't know.

We don't make anything anymore.

We don't make anything anymore.

We've got to start making stuff here again.

We've got to start making, you know, our own drugs, our own chips.

Could we start with maybe something simpler, like real good

quality clothing?

That's what American Giant did.

About 11 years ago, they saw a factory that was going under.

They wanted to save the town.

They wanted to save the industry.

And they rolled up their sleeves and said, We'll buy that factory.

We'll go bring all of the weaving and everything back to this factory.

And we'll start making American clothing the way it was supposed to be made.

Help them out.

Help them save America and wear great American clothing, all the way from the ink to the stitching to the cutting, all of it.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Well, hello, you sick twisted freak.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We're glad that you're here.

It is Wednesday.

We've got a Wednesday night special that is just fantastic tonight.

We'll tell you all about that.

We're trying to keep J.D.

Vance weird.

Also, you know, you remember those old commercials where they're like, there's got to be a better way.

Well, for anybody who doesn't like democracy, the Democrats have come up with a better way.

And we're watching it all unfold in Venezuela.

We'll talk to you about that in 60 seconds first.

Back on that commercial.

There's gotta be a better way.

There just has to be a better way.

Oh, well, there is if you have pain.

It's Relief Factor.

If you're like me and you live with pain every day, oh my gosh.

Gosh, I can't take it anymore.

I'm sorry, did I say that out loud?

There has to be a better way.

There has to be.

Now, Relief Factor has helped me with this, this...

I don't even know what it was.

I went to every doctor on the planet.

Don't know what it is.

That's weird.

It's like you're being poisoned.

Yeah, I know.

Every doctor says that I'm not being poisoned.

Unless, have you talked to my wife?

But Relief Factor stopped the pain in my hands, which stopped me from doing everything I want to do.

I still have...

I have pain.

I've got shooting nerve pain down my back.

But I gotta tell you, I don't live in constant pain anymore.

I can function now.

It is fantastic.

Relief Factor, please see if it can help you get out of pain.

It was developed by doctors.

It's natural ingredients and addresses the inflammation in your body.

Hello, Stu.

All right, Glenn.

How are you?

That's how we're starting the show today, today, Miss Voice.

Okay.

Yeah, we're going to talk like cartoon people because I think everything that's happening in the world is a giant cartoon.

That is where we are, I think, at this point.

None of it seems real.

It is.

It's the only way you can look at it.

No, none of it seems real.

And you're standing off to the side.

It's what was at science fiction or science fiction movie 2000 or something.

Remember when the guys were sitting in front of the screen?

2000, yeah.

Yes, yes, yes.

I feel like those guys sitting in front of the screen just watching the world unfold every day and go, this isn't going to work out well.

You know what I mean?

It's just, it's nuts what's happening.

And the fact that no one can connect the dots.

Now, I've always been a dot connector.

Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong.

But I always look at things and I can take things, different ideas and different things that don't seem to be connected, but I can see them connected, and then I can find the connection to prove it to you many times.

And that is a skill, I guess, or a curse, but it appears to me no one has that skill.

Or maybe it's that everybody's like, I don't want to look at that.

I don't want to look at that.

Why would I look at that?

The Venezuela story.

I don't know.

Are there a couple of dots we could connect here?

Is there anything there that we can look at and go, hmm, I wonder what we're doing here?

They started, it was a rich country.

It was a country where they weren't eating the zoo animals, oh, just a few years ago.

It was the third richest country in the Western Hemisphere.

Has oils and resources like nobody's business.

Sound familiar?

Okay, let's just keep that one over there.

Rich country, all kinds of resources could make it on their own if they just wouldn't go corrupt and go to socialism.

But what do they do?

They go corrupt and immediately go to socialism.

How do they go to socialism?

They begin to talk down democracy.

They begin to say, this republic, this constitution isn't right.

And so, Hugo Chavez,

he is thrown in jail by the president of Venezuela.

And nobody thinks that's right.

And he's like, ha got a query.

And he gets out of jail and he runs again and this time he wins.

Why?

Because generally the people don't like it when you put their candidate in jail.

They don't think that's fair.

Hmm.

Is there another dot we can connect?

So then when he gets in, the first thing he does is he changes the makeup of the Supreme Court.

Wait a minute.

I'm seeing another dot on the horizon.

Then what does he do?

Well, then he starts talking about how we've just got to nationalize health care because health care costs are out of...

out of sight.

It's crazy.

We can't get anybody to have health care, so we've got to nationalize it.

And it's going to save you like $2,000 per family every single year and what does it do it jacks the price of of health care through the roof and then the healthcare system collapses and nobody can get anything

is there another dot we see

then they start jacking with the oil Because, well, these big oil companies, they're just evil, you know.

And there was corruption.

Why was there corruption?

Because the government got involved with a private company.

And when the government gets involved, then there's all kinds of things that are going on behind the scenes that nobody knows.

And everybody starts enriching themselves at the upper level, but not anywhere down below.

Is there another dot we could connect?

So then they hire a man of the people.

They hire a guy that, you know, you know what?

You know what we need?

Chavez is dead now.

Gosh darn it.

Miss him.

But let's keep going down this road.

So they hire an expert,

a guy who was a bus driver.

He was

a bus driver.

He had no money.

You know, much like the Obamas, when he went into office, I'm sure he had student loans.

He couldn't afford his mortgage.

He was an average everyday guy struggling like you.

And lo and behold,

he's the president.

And all of a sudden,

he and his children are the wealthiest in Venezuela.

How did that happen as a public service,

I mean,

Maduro?

How does that happen?

How come everybody in government who claims, oh, I'm just trying to serve the people, become incredibly rich and powerful?

How does that work?

Exactly.

I'm trying to figure that out.

Did they all win lotteries?

Or is there something else going on?

Now, they had problems with their voting machines.

They just held an election.

And everybody was talking about the voting machines.

Voting machines, this is bad.

This is not good.

The voting machines, voting machines, all kinds of corruption.

No, no, no, no, no corruption.

No corruption.

Corruption.

It's going to be bad.

Maduro's,

the guy he's running against was like 30 points ahead.

30 points ahead.

And then when it comes to a vote.

Well, we got to we're going to take a break.

We're just going to take a break.

We're vote counting, but everybody's really tired.

It's sleepy.

It's almost 9:30 at night.

We got to get to bed.

And then they count, and lo and behold, Maduro wins.

We just found some ballots in Detroit.

Is anybody seeing a single dog here?

It's insane.

Do we have that crazy music that

we play, Sarah, for stuff like this?

When it's just

the one with a horn honk.

No?

Oh, but that's appropriate too.

That's appropriate, too.

So anyway, now he's president.

It's like this.

Is this the one with a horn honk?

Think so.

So

he is, so he's now president, and what did he do?

Well, he consolidated power in their Pentagon.

You know, got rid of anybody that might be,

you know, might be against him.

So they got rid of him.

Gee, isn't that what...

Wait a minute.

Didn't we stand our army down to do that right after?

Well, that's weird.

So now he has the complete support of the army, and they're out quelling these crazies that are saying the election was stole.

was stolen.

Because these people, it's the worst thing to happen in Venezuela since I don't know the civil war

and they're going into civil war

now I've been watching the news and I haven't heard anyone

pluck out a single parallel story here.

I haven't seen a single person on you know what I'm seeing on TV?

This is bad.

Look at this.

Look at this.

I mean, the people were crying out saying there was corruption.

You know, and now he's trying to, he changed the Supreme Court again.

Now he's doing that again.

I mean, this is out of control.

First of all, he was trying to arrest his opponent.

So,

I do believe, Stu, that for the rest of the show,

we should just talk like this.

Because everything's a cartoon.

I wouldn't be surprised.

Secret Service says Donald Trump was not hit by a bullet.

We believe a safe fell out of the sky.

Why not?

I've always believed in the world.

Have you had the latest about what they're doing?

I've got all of this.

It's been acme from the beginning.

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes.

Would you have been surprised if the guy up on the roof would have had a big black round

bowling ball of a bomb and lit the fuse and was wearing a fedora and he was like shh and he's lighting the fuse and everybody's in the crowd going there's a guy in a black fedora with a big black acme bomb and he's lit it and he's gonna throw it towards the president

why not why not why is the crap that they're saying to us right now

less believable

Every day they update that story.

He is?

Yeah, every day they update that story.

He's there earlier.

Like I remember when this story story broke, I had a conniption on the vacations saying, hey, how the heck was this guy up there for 90 seconds?

90 seconds?

He was on the roof

for 90 seconds and somehow they let him up there.

And every time you get an update, it's like it was actually 26 minutes.

Actually, he built a condo on the complex six months ago and has been living there, casing the entire field since then.

I don't, I don't know.

He was halfway done building a tunnel.

He was halfway finished with a tunnel that he was building from the roof to the lectern where Trump was.

He just couldn't get it done in time.

Yeah, now we're starting to find out something about him.

The FBI has come out and said, oh, no, we have some evidence now.

We think we might have a mo

We think we might have a motive.

Okay.

First of all, I'm pretty sure his motive was to kill

the president.

I think that was his motive.

I don't know.

What are you getting up for today?

Well,

I was going to have some bran flakes, but I decided I'm going to kill Donald Trump.

That's what motivated him.

Along with the bran flakes.

Now.

Right, what?

You eat bran flakes at that age.

It's going to cause some weird outcomes.

There's no doubt about that.

And I, you know, look, you have a situation where

it had absolutely no footprint digitally.

That happens all the time.

He's never said a word on the internet.

Oh, yeah.

And he's got a phone and everything.

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

He's got a phone, but he has zero footprint.

He left us nothing.

Except now we just found something.

Wait until you hear this story.

You're going to talk like this, too, in just a few minutes.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

Our sponsor this half hour is 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.

By the way, you can go to Glenn Beck Merch and do we have the t-shirt?

I made two t-shirts for J.D.

Vance.

One of them is,

well,

I would hate to say that I just lifted the artwork from Portland and the big Portland

campaign that they had up on billboards, Keep Portland Weird.

But it looks kind of like that.

The t-shirt just says keep JD Vance weird and the other one you remember that keep calm and carry on this one is just keep calm and JD Vance weird you can get the McLinbeck merch right now anyway things are weird what will they do next I mean next thing you know the Republicans are gonna 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.

If you start with your finances, one of the most important things you can do is if you have any extra money, you need to put some of that money in a hedge, something that will hold up if the dollar goes down.

If the dollar goes down, inflation goes up, what grows?

Well, gold is always that hedge.

10 seconds, station ID.

Wow.

So the FBI director says now

there is no doubt, and there never has been any doubt about Trump.

He was hit by a bullet.

No matter what, Director Ray was saying, it was a bullet.

It only took us two weeks to find that out.

Man, these guys are on top of it, aren't they?

Now, the FBI also has come out, and they believe

that Crook,

his attempt to assassinate Donald Trump,

was because he was motivated by

the

desire to assassinate Donald Trump.

Yes, but what was really behind that?

Brand flakes?

No, no.

Stop listening to those conspiracy theorists.

He was

extreme in his view of illegal aliens.

And he also had extreme anti-Semitic anti-Semitic comments.

Now, the FBI released the story,

and the headlines are all extreme anti-Semitic comments online.

I thought he had no digital footprint.

Now we found extreme anti-Semitic.

Okay.

Well, that would make him part of the left, which is weird because that's where the Nazis belong on the extreme left, not the right.

So

he is now an anti-Semite, and he also said some vicious things about the border and what's happening to our country.

Sounds to me like he's a right-wing nutjob.

Well, I think there's a logical line there from someone who is upset about open borders and immediately goes to assassinate Donald Trump.

Like, does there any sense in that?

Is there any logic in that path there?

I don't.

Okay,

okay, good, good.

Go with that for a second.

Tell me why there's no logic in that.

Okay, because I got another story that maybe you can help figure out.

Go ahead.

Well, Donald Trump is the most visible person in America arguing for tighter border control.

So if you were upset about what's going on in the border, assuming it wasn't like the we have kids in cages thing, you know, with AOC crying

in her $3,000 suit at the border fence,

you'd think that Donald Trump

would be your hero

if that were true.

Yeah.

If that's what you really, yeah.

Okay.

Can you help me figure this story out?

Because remember, you just said there's no real logic in that.

Vice President Kamala Harris, now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, has received critical endorsements from the mayors of some of the largest towns on the Arizona-Mexico border.

I trust her to meet the needs of our border cities and towns without taking advantages off of us for her own personal gain, like her opponent.

The border mayors in Arizona

trust that the

border czar, non-border czar, is the one to fix the problem.

It's like there is a little miniature shooter on a

slopey kind of roof in my head just killing brain cells

every time I listen to the mainstream media

so everything is fine everybody hey

I got a funny nose and J.D.

Vance is weird

look how many people we can stuff in this car

Glenn Beck

In dangerous emergency situations a lot of times there are gray areas for instance not every situation in which someone someone is seeking to do you or your family harm calls for deadly force.

Don't get me wrong.

A lot of them do, you know, but not all of them.

If you have the opportunity to stop someone without killing them, in most cases, you should take that.

This is why I own a Burna launcher.

This is why my security guys carry not only a gun, but a Burna launcher.

Non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home.

It is 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 deterrence like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range.

One shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

By the way, their high-capacity Mission 4 rifle with maximum projectile speed is back in stock and ready to ship.

Glenn's new book, Chasing Embers, is out now.

Make sure to get it, Glennbeck.com or wherever books are sold.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We join now with Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed, a podcast that you can get wherever you get your podcasts every day.

And you can watch him record that and do it live every day before the broadcast of this live program.

So,

Pat, we were just talking about the Secret Service, and I don't know, I feel so much better now that they have somebody else as the director, you know?

Yeah, because he's been terrific so far.

We saw how terrific he was yesterday at the hearing.

The Senate is doing a hearing on this, and he was called before the Senate, and he's got plenty of answers.

You know, this thing,

so here this thing's over now.

I mean, you don't need to worry about what happened.

It's clear, it's as clear as can be what happened.

Okay, here he is, cut six.

Gold arrow indicates where the shooter fired from.

Looking left.

Okay.

Why was the assailant not seen?

That is when we were told that that building was going to be covered,

that there had been a face-to-face that afternoon

that our team leads met.

This was the view.

Okay.

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

Hello.

Let me show you another view, Senator.

All right.

Show me.

Bees.

Yeah.

He's angry, though.

Yeah, he is.

He's pissed.

Because Cheadle did a terrible job.

He was fine, but she did a really bad job.

This view is a reenactment by one of my agents.

Okay.

Really good view.

Laying flat.

Okay, so you reenacted.

There was a five-inch rise on the middle of that roof.

Uh-huh.

The assailant would have had to present his bore over that to get his shot off.

The view underneath reflects the perspective that he would have had.

Again, I call your attention back to the first exhibit if they'd have looked left.

Oh, give me a seat.

I couldn't ascertain any of this from just watching it on TV.

No, no.

It's a good thing he pointed it out.

Because this is really technical stuff that you would never know.

This is what our countersniper team saw.

All right.

He's really good at this presentation.

No elbows.

You barely make out the crown of his head.

No elbows.

Barely.

Barely.

Below it?

Wow.

The assailant up prone.

Right.

And let me just tell you, our counter sniper, this individual, I know him.

I consider him a friend.

He has covered me operationally in conflict zones.

All right.

And when I did my time on the president's detail,

he exemplifies the courage,

the skill,

and the ability to respond under great stress in such short time to neutralize a threat and prevent further loss of light.

And I don't think

nobody doubts the veracity of the actual counter sniper, right?

Right.

The problem lies with the leadership who set all of this up and ignored all the warning signs and didn't do anything about the threat that was present.

That's

the problem.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

No, wait a minute.

Just a second.

Does he have a chart?

A chart?

That would be interesting if he had a chart to show the counter sniper.

I don't think the counter sniper had a chart.

No.

No.

So I don't care whose friend he is.

He's screwed up.

Did the assassin himself bring charts to explain where he was going to shoot from?

He'd handed them to him.

He said he

handed it to the Secret Service and local law enforcement.

But they couldn't have known.

But they couldn't know.

They couldn't have known.

There was no way to know.

You know, charts are hard.

Right, Glenn?

If they would have had a Venn diagram.

Why then maybe something could have been done?

I would have called Kamala Harris into the equation.

That would have been incredible.

Yeah, I would have.

That would have been amazing.

If you would have seen where the two agencies overlap, then you could have done something about it.

Yeah, right.

Someone might have had that.

There's no way to know.

There's just no way to know.

Right.

And that's, I guess, what we're dealing with here.

I mean, I do have a little, I don't know what level of control this guy had over the situation, right?

Do we know, really?

Supposedly, well, according to people I've heard from, the buck kind of stopped with him.

He's sort of the, he was sort of the one in charge.

Not Cheadle?

Not Cheadle.

So Cheadle was just the.

Cheadle's kind of the main, you know, she's just the overseer of the whole agency.

He was apparently the overseer of specific operations.

But then the answer to that was to put him as the acting head of the

seems like a promotion's not in order after such an event.

Am I wrong with that?

No,

I think you've got a point there, actually.

I'm a little concerned at this point as to where this is going.

And, you know,

we had a caller who knows about

radio communication among law enforcement agencies.

Her speculation was that the feds were on some were on a digital system and the locals were on an analog system because they can't afford digital systems.

And the two can't communicate with each other.

So what you need to have is a go-between, right?

One person who has both and can relay information, but we don't have apparently the ability to put another person into that operation.

What do you think?

And I'm just going to throw this out there.

What do you think about someone hopping on Amazon and just buying enough equipment for everyone to be able to talk to each other?

Like a new purchase.

That's just crazy talk.

No, yeah, okay.

It's just crazy.

Because we do now know that much of their communication was via group text.

Yeah.

They were taking pictures of the potential assassin and texting it to each other.

Now, look, when you want to organize a fantasy football draft start time, group text is a great way to do it.

I got gotta say, it is fantastic.

But how many lives are on the line when you're doing the fantasy draft?

Well, the stakes are high.

All of them, the stakes are high.

All lives are on the line.

All lives are on.

But like when you're talking about the safety of the former president of the United States,

perhaps,

maybe,

group text isn't the best way for them to be communicating.

What?

I know.

It's wild.

It's a wild and crazy idea.

It's inconvenient.

It's legitimately incomprehensible how this happened.

It is.

It is.

Anybody with the basic sense of this job, every security expert you talk to says the same thing.

Of course, obviously, they should have been looking at this roof.

It's the one place that you would look for a potential assassin.

Where else are you going to shoot from?

You know,

field level?

Like

in an open field where

you can be taken out immediately?

Only the roof has any protection.

Only the roof has a shot that's clear.

And this is a big thing.

Because you didn't have to go through the security so you can have the weapon.

Yep.

Incomprehensible.

The New York Times did a video on this.

And I will say the New York Times does many things very poorly.

One thing they do really well is after events like this, they just recreate everything with every video available and time them all together and show where they were taken from and draw lines lines on maps and really, I think, do a good job explaining it.

And one of the things that they point out in the video is that one of the sniper positions, the closer sniper position to this particular roof, has the view blocked by a giant tree.

Like you couldn't,

you couldn't.

One of the two perches for

the actual snipers on the good guy's side here

could not see the one place you would try to assassinate a former president from couldn't see it because there's a giant tree in the way unreal how is this possible

and i keep going back to this but it's like you kind of understand everyone going on both sides to conspiracy theories like i well yes because you know

you can't believe that they could be this incompetent that the U.S.

Secret Service could be this bad at what they do.

So the only thing you're left with is, well, okay, it was on purpose.

It's on purpose.

They let it happen.

Have we just been lucky?

Like, has it been one of those situations?

Because I guess maybe if you did that rally a hundred times in a hundred different cities in that exact same situation, probably most of the time an assassin doesn't climb on the roof, right?

Just because probably 99, 99 times out of 100.

Yeah, you'd think.

So maybe that's the only thing that's keeping our politicians safe.

Might be.

And think about, you know, think about just the future of the the country here for a second.

Because if you go to a future here where we have a Secret Service that's incapable of protecting the candidates in office, it's not just Donald Trump to be worried about.

It's Kamala Harris, it's Joe Biden, it's RFK Jr.

All these people are in danger.

And God forbid somebody does something

that turns out differently than what happened with Donald Trump.

God only knows where our country is that next day.

I mean, it is a terrifying thing to think about.

And it seems like just kind of basic luck has been the thing that's been protecting us all this time.

It's terrifying.

Yeah.

I mean, it's the only thing you're left to conclude, just that we've just been lucky because they're so bad.

Otherwise, you're thinking something else, which is even worse.

So the best possible scenario is that they're the worst at their job of anybody you've ever heard of in any any industry, anywhere.

And it's just

hard to believe, but it's true.

It's hard to believe that our Secret Service is there.

Now, look, we all know that there are incredible agents working there.

We all know there are people with high levels of competence

in a lot of these roles.

So I don't know.

And I think, like we said, the snipers themselves are probably terrific.

I'm sure they're great people.

I'm sure they're dedicated to their job.

I'm sure they're highly skilled.

But the leadership has obviously failed miserably.

A new video came out yesterday, and you hear,

of course, and it's taken by a guy running at the base of this building going, hey, look up there.

You see that guy with a gun?

We should do something about that.

But when's now, obviously the snipers are on way on the other side of the stage, right?

Like they're, what, 400 yards away.

So they're not hearing any of this.

They may be getting some indication.

We've seen some footage of them changing their position quickly.

But once that first shot rings out, I mean, it's not more than four or five seconds before that guy is down.

Yeah.

I mean, it is.

It happens fast.

Fast.

And it's one shot.

You can hear the assassin fire eight times.

A burst of first, I think it's three, and then it's five more.

Right.

And once that fifth shot is fired, he's immediately taken down.

I mean, it is legitimately amazing.

I can't imagine.

Obviously, the skill is there.

That's what's so hard to believe about all this.

Especially when the shot supposedly came from, what was it, 448 yards away?

Yeah, that's a long way.

That's a long way.

Yes.

And I know that everyone keeps saying, oh, well, from 100 yards away or 130 yards away where the assassin took the shot, it's not that difficult of a shot if you have training.

And that's, I would, you know, that's probably true.

That's probably true.

You know, although.

It's a little different from 400-something yards away.

I would assume it gets dramatically different, exponentially more difficult as you go farther and farther.

And I don't know, we talked to an assassin who has the longest confirmed kill in history.

Oh.

And he was like, that shot's easy.

And he also said anybody who has ever played Call of Duty would know to station someone up on that roof, right?

Like, it's not like this is a high-level security concern.

Right.

So it is just amazing.

All right, let's take a quick break, talk to you about Pre-Born.

You know, there's no such thing as a disposable human being.

You wouldn't know that if you happen to be watching the news and listening to how the left talks about children these days.

But we've disposed of 65 million human beings in this country since the beginning of Roe vs.

Wade, many of them in the worst possible way.

You're led kind of to the inescapable conclusion that, yeah, a lot of Americans do believe that humans are disposable.

Pre-born is the largest pro-life organization in the country, and they're leading the charge to put an end to the atrocity 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 the monitor, when she hears the heartbeat, she's twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby.

If you have the means, would you consider giving a leadership gift to save babies in a big way?

If you can do something huge, like you know, $5,000, your tax-deductible donation will sponsor Pre-Born's entire network for an entire day, helping to rescue 200 babies.

To donate, dial pound250 and say the keyword baby.

Pound250, the keyword is baby.

If you can't do five grand, of course, it's totally understandable.

Can you do five bucks?

Can you do anything?

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

We talk a lot about protection, protecting yourself, protecting your home, making sure that you're prepared for whatever comes down the road.

But do you think about like the stuff that's kind of going on in the background?

We're not talking about alarms.

We're not talking about

your Second Amendment rights.

I'm talking about something a little bit different.

Something like your title, your home's title.

If you want to protect your home and your and your retirement, you need to protect your home title with home title lock.

Homes across America are being stolen every day with a scam called home title theft.

It's been one of the fastest growing crimes in America for a while now.

And no one really knows about it because who thinks about your home's title?

Nobody does.

You think about whether your door is locked or whether your alarm is set.

You don't think about whether your home's title is protected.

And honestly, I want you to continue that.

I want you to continue not thinking about your home's title.

Let home title lock do that for you.

Don't fall prey to these thieves because they can steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from you, from your equity, and then you're stuck trying to unwind it.

Glenn Beck's first ever young adult fiction novel, Chasing Embers, is now on sale, available everywhere.

It's a big thing.

It's out right now.

I think we find out soon whether it made the bestseller list.

And I'm sure the New York Times is going to fully report on its sales.

Because

it was the biggest selling book, I believe, in the young adult category and probably maybe even overall.

But it's like 84th of the New York Times.

According to the New York Times.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So

we'll see how that one turns out.

Triple 8727 back is

the number.

We were talking about the Secret Service and the failures of the Secret Service.

Have there been some?

I've noticed a couple lately.

Really?

I've noticed, you know, this, I've noticed some things going a bit awry.

And at times, like, I think we as conservatives who just, you know, who have an affinity for law and order and law enforcement, we get this sense that, you know, things like the Secret Service are the exceptions to the rule of government incompetence, right?

We know government can't really do anything right.

And we make exceptions for the rule rule when it comes to the military and our police and the Secret Service.

And, you know, I think for years and years, the FBI and the CIA.

And I think that's really changed for conservatives over the past, say, 10 years or so.

Like, the faith that we have in certainly institutions like the FBI has been just disintegrated.

at this point.

And that's, look, it might be correct, but it's also not a good thing.

You know, losing faith in these institutions is a really rough thing for our country to go through, especially when now both sides don't seem to have any interest in them.

I've heard it termed suboptimal.

Suboptimal.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's a term I adore, as you know.

I didn't know that.

There's a lot.

I get to use it a lot lately.

No kidding.

You know,

it is appropriate to so many different situations.

Suboptimal.

Our future seems to be.

We have more coming up.

Triple-8727, B-E-C-K.

It is the the Glenn Beck program.

The Glenn Beck Program.

When a severe hurricane comes along, one of the things that Texans know is that, you know, you can expect big thunderstorms to follow in its wake.

That can mean power outages and difficulties getting to places like pharmacies and doctor's office.

If you are not prepared, it can be a major, major problem.

And there's something that you can do to make sure that you have, I don't know, your preparation.

You have the medication you need when it is needed.

and it's a solution that you know thousands of people have already discovered maybe you're one of them but it's called the jace case and it'll allow you to start stocking up on medication right now so you're prepared the jace case is a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics And when you have these on hand, you can treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.

We kind of take this stuff for granted.

We're like, oh, I want to just get them whenever we need them.

Yeah, but they're not always available anymore.

Things are changing.

I don't know if you're noticing this.

So prepare yourself.

There are add-on options too.

Got no room

to compromise.

We're gonna stay together

if we're gonna survive.

Stand up straight

and hold the line.

It's a new day, a

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We are working on getting Glenn Beck.

We have some technical difficulties there at his ranch.

Hopefully, he'll be back with us in a second here.

We gotta show you.

Yeah, we're gonna show you how weird JD Vance is coming up in a little bit.

The guy's the guy's funky.

He's funky.

He's a little

twisted.

We'll see if we can get to the bottom of this weird guy coming up in just seconds, but let me tell you about a leaf home gutter.

If you're anything like me, you probably just do about any other chore other than throw a ladder up against your roof, climb up there, and clean all the leaves out of the gutters.

I am, by the way, I don't know if I've ever told you this, Pat.

I am fully convinced the way I die is falling off a ladder.

Oh, really?

I don't know what it is.

You have told me that, but I...

And it's weird because I could really just avoid going up a ladder.

And maybe this is the best way to do it, right?

Leaf filter from Leaf Home Gutters.

It's a filter for your gutters that helps protect your home from flooding, roof damage, rotting siding, foundation issues, all that fun stuff.

And more.

Imagine all the time and hassle that you will save.

Not to mention all the boredom and death-defying ladder climbing that you will have.

I don't want to die falling off a ladder.

I want something more,

I don't know, a little bit better than that.

And I just know that will happen to me when it comes to cleaning out your gutters.

So go with Leaf Filter.

It's America's number one gutter protection system.

That is a free inspection, 30% off at leaffilter.com, L-E-A-F filter.com slash Glenn Beck, see representative for warranty details.

And Glenn, I know you think

you encourage me often to go to the top of ladders just for the hope that I would fall off.

But instead, I'm going to go with leaffilter.com slash Glenn Beck.

Yes, I do.

I do.

I do.

I do.

I'm hoping right now.

Yeah.

All right.

Thank you very much, Stu.

Do we have Jonathan Turley with us?

Is Jonathan with us?

I'm not on at the moment.

Am I on the air?

You are on.

I don't know.

Can somebody give me a thumbs up?

Let me just say this.

I don't know if it's actually making it.

I'm not on in the moment.

No, you aren't.

Okay, I am.

All right, good.

So

I'm up here.

Now, I'm going to explain something,

and I'm just making a plea mainly to Elon Musk.

I'm wondering exactly how Elon Musk can get a picture, a good quality picture and sound from inside of a car in space.

But I can't find a way to get my voice 8,000 feet down a mountain.

I just don't, I don't get it.

And I'm going to hold a contest.

Tell me how to get my voice down from this mountain

and win.

I'll give you a job.

How's that?

Anyway, all right.

So, Stu, do we have Jonathan with us?

We do not have Jonathan with us, and we have quite a

delay issue here, Glenn.

So you probably just need to take this straight on your own here.

Our interaction is going to be a little difficult at the moment.

Okay.

Mm-hmm.

Four.

Five.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

A little bit of a delay there.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

Well, we're learning that we're going to be good.

All right, we're just going to talk to you.

We're just going to go for it here.

Sorry about all the delays.

Stations, we apologize for all the issues this morning.

It's been a rough one.

Let's go to J.D.

Vance.

J.D.

Vance is weird.

He is as weird as I don't, I mean,

certainly the opposite of the normalcy we're all used to these days.

The normalcy of drag queen story hours, the normalcy of men punching women in the face repeatedly during the Olympics and lots of people cheering it on.

And you know what's interesting about that particular weirdness is, or normalcy, I'm sorry, that's normal.

That's normal.

Is that the Olympic, did not the IOC initially say, okay, no trans women in women's sports.

And now they've completely reversed themselves.

Wow.

And there are trans women in women's sports.

Well,

did you ever look at their passports?

I didn't.

Their passports said they were women.

So

that's all you have to do to

talking about a violence.

So their birth certificate doesn't matter, but their passport.

Passport's the one?

Critical.

That's science.

Critical.

Biologists all agree the way to figure out someone's gender is to look at their passport.

I didn't know that.

Yeah.

Some people say, what about their genitals?

Yeah, no.

And no, that does not even tell you anything.

What about their chromosomes?

It doesn't tell you one thing about their gender.

Their passport is what tells you about their gender.

Okay.

And that's

a whole nother revolting road we could go down because we

are we completely lost as a society.

Yes.

Because I mean,

we were critical of the Romans.

You know, we've had, we've gone over the years and said, you know, maybe having a bunch of, having a coliseum where people are getting ripped apart in front of people's eyes as they cheer on, bad idea, right?

We at one time believed that.

Now we're like, what if we just have men beat the crap out of women on stage and cheer it on?

Would that be great?

It's beautiful.

There's nothing better than that.

And that just happened yesterday in France where a trans woman beat the crap out of an actual woman in boxing.

I mean, is that not the worst sport you could allow of a man to purport to be a woman?

Right.

It's the worst sport possible for that.

Right.

And I think, like, we can talk about Riley Gaines, you know, the swimmer who's been fantastic speaking out about all of this.

And she pointed out, like, imagine if you happen to be

a female boxer and you've, you know,

went through this, all the training, rose through the ranks, made an Olympic team, and you get into the Olympics.

And instead of having a chance to actually go up against a woman, which you've been training for your whole life, you just got some dude in there who just beats the crap out of you.

Now,

I think she's totally right on that, right?

Like, that is

a point I agree with 100%.

However, I do have to say, in this particular sport, I find it to be quite secondary, right?

In swimming, totally agree.

Basketball, totally agree.

Totally unfair.

And it does also apply to boxing.

But what we're talking about here is domestic violence.

It is domestic violence.

It is assault.

assault.

When you have, it's one thing to have a guy break a bunch of swimming records.

It's really bad.

I don't want to demean it.

It's not nothing.

It's really, really bad and important that women have their spaces to be able to compete against each other.

You're right.

It's virtually criminal.

I think it's not.

I think you're talking about violence like this.

I think it is.

I don't know.

I mean,

I don't know.

Maybe I haven't fully thought out the legality of all of this.

Maybe I don't know.

There's a bunch of libertarian arguments I'm not thinking of.

But like, i'm i am of the of the sort here pat and call me call me quaint call me the type of person that you know i kind of feel like just female boxing should be illegal and i i know like the i know people love it some people love it i don't get it don't ever want to see a woman punched in the face for any reason i am uh i'm old school on that one i will say this

The woman who does the four-minute buzz, oh, yes, Hillary.

Loves it.

Loves it.

She loves it.

She

Kennedy loves it.

Loves the MMA.

She loves MMA, and she loves females battling it out on MMA.

She doesn't think men should be involved in women's athletics.

But she does love the blood and guts of women on women in MMA.

Hey, look, I don't even,

frankly, I'm not a big fan of regular MMA.

So in that way, I just, I don't, there's a certain amount of brutality.

I can watch in a movie and be okay with it.

When it's real, I really don't like watching it.

But really, like, okay, so then you step it up to women punching women in the face.

Don't want to see that either.

But I really don't think it even should be legal for men to stand on a stage for people's entertainment and beat the crap out of women.

I'm sorry.

I don't even know how we got here.

I know.

Because we weren't supposed to be here, according to the IOC, just recently.

All right.

888-727-BECK.

More coming up.

You know what?

That wasn't even the topic we were going to do.

But I,

that one I could rant about.

It feels like the absolute collapse of all civilization.

Yeah, it does.

It does.

It does.

It does because it is.

Do we just start having men stab women on stage for our entertainment?

Won't that be fun?

Don't give them any ideas.

That might be in the Olympics next time.

It might.

All right.

Let me tell you about rough greens, and we'll come back to this.

Unless your dog gets to stare at a menu and pick out whatever he wants to eat every single night.

And most dogs don't don't get that, of course.

The nutrition that goes into his body or her body is pretty much on you.

If you want him, if you want to be happy and healthy, you're going to make sure that he's eating something he likes and something which is good for him at the same time.

And I feel the same way, which is why I started giving my dog rough greens.

Glenn gives his dog rough greens.

Pat gives his dog.

How many dogs do you have now, Pat?

Just the one?

Just the one.

Just the one.

What's the weight of that dog?

Would you say that?

She is a whopping four pounds.

So a bag of Roughgrounds lasts you 16 months.

Yes, it does.

But it's good for your dog.

And, you know, look, if it's good for your dog, it's probably in Rough Greens.

The folks at Rough Greens are super confident that your dog is going to love it.

So they're just like, hey, they're going to give you a special deal.

Roughgreens.com/slash Beck or call 833-Glenn33.

They're going to give you your first trial bag free.

All you have to do is pay shipping.

833-GLENN33.

833-G-L-E-N-N33.

Give them a call today.

It is Rough Greens.

10 seconds, station ID.

Okay, 888 727 BECK.

So we were talking about the

next Olympic category, which is stabbing women on stage.

That's coming.

It is right around the corner.

Yeah.

It is right around the corner.

Who wants a gold medal in it?

I don't know.

Now, I will say there are a lot of countries, some of them in the Middle East, North Korea, might be big on this one.

They might be really good at this as they might have a lot of practice doing it.

But I will say, I don't want it to happen.

And, like, and this is, you know, we started this talking about J.D.

Vance a little bit.

We are told as a society that we are the weird ones while this is normal.

While a guy, you know, painted blue, mocking the Last Supper is normal.

Right.

A guy who has has his junk flopping out of his shorts

in front of women.

Children.

In front of billion people.

Children.

Yeah.

That's normal.

And then the First Lady of the United States of America, Dr.

Jill Biden, calls it spectacular, and she wonders how we're ever going to top it.

Anyway?

I feel like if I just saw a bunch of, they just kind of walked them all out in their gym shorts in a circle and the thing, they just barely had the lights on, I would have been much happier with that.

How can we top it?

I don't know.

Let's just get a bunch of people to vomit on stage.

Yeah, maybe that would top it.

Yeah.

I mean, it's not going to be hard to top that.

And if you think the whole, you know, person painted blue and, you know, junk flopping out of shorts on national television was bad, the United States chose LeBron James to lead the delegation.

That's even worse.

Oh, my God.

The fact that we took the most annoying person in human history and had him lead our country is so freaking fitting for this era of America.

Anybody, LeBron James, let's put him out there.

It's so frustrating and so ridiculous.

It is.

And I don't know.

Like, I was watching sort of the online discourse on the conservative side yesterday, and I found it to be interesting in that the back and forth goes on of like, well, what do you do with the J.D.

Vance's weird thing?

Because we do immediately get into this defensive position all the time, right?

Like we're always like, well, no, we're not weird.

And like, I don't know that that's a productive way to handle this conversation, but I also don't know that just ignoring it works either.

I don't think you could just be like, oh, yeah, he is weird.

And we just kind of move on with our lives.

What do you do, Pat?

Because

JD Vance isn't weird.

He's

about as straight an American success story as you can find.

He's a man born into poverty, a man who struggles with his family his entire childhood, somehow overcomes that, goes into the military,

and then becomes successful in the world of finance, writes a best-selling book.

A movie gets made out of it.

He becomes a senator, and now he is named as a vice presidential candidate.

All at 39 years old.

39 years old.

39.

I mean, it is one of the most incredible stories.

If he was a liberal, it would be a movie already, right?

And I know he had a movie made.

Coincidentally enough, when he was critical of Donald Trump, the movie got made.

Yeah.

And now that he's complimentary of Donald Trump, all of a sudden the movie's not made.

Everyone's panning it.

And now he's weird.

Yeah.

And they've told us a million times how weird he is.

He really is.

Here's a look at just how weird

J.D.

Vance is

from the media.

Are saying

let's just play weird.

These guys are just weird.

That's who they are.

As weird and creepy as J.D.

Vance.

Super weird idea from J.D.

Vance.

Yeah, it's not, I mean, it's quite weird.

Just plain weird.

Just plain weird.

Just plain weird.

That stuff is weird.

They come across weird and then they start being weird.

Yeah, they're weird.

Being a really weirdo.

Donald Trump and his weirdo running mate are weird.

Deeply and profoundly weird.

They are weird.

These Republicans just being weird.

It's just weird.

It's really weird.

Republican weirdness goes even deeper.

He said a lot of things that are weird.

A weird style that he brings.

Weird policies.

Let's start with the weird thing, because it is a thing.

Just plain weird.

What was weird was talking about Diet Mountain Dew.

Who drinks Diet Mountain Dew?

Whoever seen the guy laugh?

What a loser.

That seems very weird to me that an adult can go through six and a half years of being in the public eye.

If he has laughed, it's at someone, not with someone.

That is weird behavior.

Is it?

Is it weird behavior?

Wow.

It was Tim Walls, by the way, at the end, who

they say started this.

I don't believe it.

I think it was a talking point that was fed to all these guys, but they say he was the first one who said it.

And it was so brilliant that everyone picked it up.

Really?

The word weird.

Come on.

Come on.

I mean, it was brilliant when I was eight.

Yeah.

Is it brilliant now?

No.

I don't think so.

No.

And what is it that's so weird about him?

They don't even explain that.

They just call him weird.

Yeah.

What's weird about it?

Well, he wants kids to be alive.

Yeah.

I mean, he keeps wanting children to live, which which I think is really weird.

But only white children.

Oh, that's true.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Only white supremacists.

White children can live.

This is

what's her name?

Molly Jong Fast, who, again, you hear these names.

I've never heard her speak before.

I don't know anything about her.

I wasn't familiar with her either, but a lot of people are.

I've seen her name online a decent amount, but I don't know.

Is she always this crazy?

I don't know.

Obviously, she must be.

She got booked on MSNBC, so she's probably insane.

But here she is talking about what she believes is really at stake here with J.D.

Vance and what his real desires are for this country.

The stats are there.

More and more Americans choosing not to have kids, which again emphasizes why J.D.

Vance's comments about childless Americans, childless cat ladies, could be so politically damaging.

Well, so what's interesting is this is this natalism that comes from an authoritarian playbook, right?

That there need to be more white children, right?

That's the idea that there's, you know, this is about great replacement theory, racism, right?

This is what this is.

So don't misunderstand it for him wanting more children.

He wants a certain kind of, you know, racist thing.

He said nothing about

a certain kind of children, said nothing about white children.

He just wants children to be born.

And he has literally been engaged in the creation of non-white children.

He's got an Indian wife.

Yes.

He is creating children that are not white

multiple times over.

But he's the weird one.

He's the weird one.

Yeah.

And like,

they just, look, it is, there is a, natalism is not, I mean, it's just a belief system that, hey, you know, we need to start like having more kids.

We're starting to have a situation where the population is going the opposite direction.

And like people.

And it is in this country.

And as I think J.D.

Vance believes, we need to have policies that encourage family growth rather than discourage it.

You can say that's good or bad as an idea.

There's a lot of arguments for and against it.

But, like,

it's not weird.

It's just saying, hey, like, it's nor is it racist.

It's certainly not racist.

It has nothing to do with race.

I mean, she's just,

that's why I gave the disclaimer.

She just might be the biggest idiot in the world.

And again, she got booked on MSNBC, so there's a lot of evidence that would support that theory.

Yeah.

But, like, I mean, this is someone, think about this just separate from the actual points being made here.

this is a person that is so unfamiliar with what she's talking about she doesn't even know that jd vance is married to someone who is not white right like that is

basic basic knowledge she obviously didn't watch him at the convention right like she this is someone who's put such little time thinking about this topic and then gets booked on msnbc to talk about it these are the people in the media they say they are your betters I assure you they are not.

I assure,

having dealt with many of them over the years, I assure you, they are not your betters.

They are not superior to you.

They all believe they are,

but I can promise you they are not.

And this is a great example of it.

This isn't like even a philosophical disagreement.

This is like inviting Glenn Beck on to talk about the NFL draft.

He would have no idea

what player came out of BYU and was drafted in the third round.

He would not know because he would not have seen any of the games.

He doesn't know their names.

And they're like, let's go to Glenn Beck on this wide receiver out of Boise State.

Like, he's not going to know.

Wait, Boise's a state now?

That would be his response.

That would be his response.

And the NFL said, wow, that's a great point.

Boise is not a state.

They don't even know.

They're not.

They don't even know.

No wonder there's signs all the time.

Boise is not a state.

And people just keep ignoring the facts.

Boise is not a state.

It's a county?

What is it?

Do we know?

Who could possibly know?

We'll get into that even more coming up here in just a couple of seconds.

Well, a lot of huge news breaking in the Middle East, and we're rapidly now coming up on the one-year anniversary of the terrible October 7th Hamas attack on Israel.

And to this day, the Holy Land continues to be under attack on multiple fronts.

Not only are they still dealing with Hamas, but Hezbollah is now constantly destroying critical farmland and people's homes with their rocket attacks.

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the forefront in Israel since the beginning of this war, addressing the needs of the most vulnerable.

And that's why we've been partnering with them because it's important, honestly.

It's really, really important.

With all the stuff going on, you can't forget about this situation.

Your life-saving donations are helping to provide emergency food as well as critical security needs.

You know, things like flak jackets, firefighting equipment, armored vehicles, bomb shelters, and so much more.

They're looking for 500 listeners to help join the fellowship by donating $150 to meet these urgent security needs.

And thanks to a generous IFCJ supporter, your gift will be matched, doubling your impact to the Holy Land.

Call right now: 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-4325, or supportifcj.org.

It's supportifcj.org.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

I was listening to Pat and Stew there, and thank you guys for filling in.

We have a problem seemingly getting my voice down to Earth, even though I'm only 8,000 feet above Earth.

But thanks for filling in.

I'm listening to them talk about J.D.

Vance and weird, how weird he is.

Well, first of all, let's keep J.D.

Vance weird, okay?

You can go to Glenbeckmerch.com right now and get your keep J.D.

Vance

weird t-shirt.

I thought weird was an okay thing.

I mean, that keep Austin weird, keep San Francisco weird, keep Portland weird.

So I don't know what their problem is.

Well, actually, I do.

And listening to Pat and Stew,

they bring up a lot of really, really good points, but I think we're missing one thing.

To him,

he is weird.

And this is critical to understand because we think they're weird, right?

So let me explain why they think JD Vance is weird.

JD Vance is from a red state.

Weirdness number one.

J.D.

Vance grew up in white poverty.

Weirdness number two for them.

He had a horrible, horrible life.

He didn't have white privilege.

Number weirdness number three.

And he never gave up or listened to the naysayers.

Weirdness number four.

Just that is enough to make him weird, but that's not the full key.

To understand why the left thinks J.D.

Vance is weird and they don't relate to his policies is because he comes at life 180 degrees differently than the left does.

He believes in pull yourself up by the bootstraps.

Don't let anybody tell you no.

Do it.

Do it.

No matter what anybody says about you, because nobody is holding you down.

Nobody's holding you back except you and your choices.

That's one of the biggest things that's weird about JD Vance because either they totally believe it or they know they're running an evil scam on

people all over the world.

You can't make it.

You'll never make it.

You need me to make it.

Who says that?

Who says that except an abusive partner?

You'll never make it.

You know who's keeping you down, but I can help you get there.

I mean, that's the Nina Simone

life.

Nina Simone is probably the greatest jazz singer of the 20th century.

You don't know it,

or, you know, you may know her or know that she's great, but

she didn't have her popularity

because she was twisted from the beginning.

White people telling her she couldn't do it, and then breaking through that, and then marrying abusive men over and over again that just used her and lied to her and abused her.

Well, you start to believe those things,

or

you conquer those things.

It's not what happens to you in life.

It's what you do with those things.

I thought my dad was crazy when he told me, son, there's nothing, there's nothing bad.

And I was feeling bad for myself.

And I said, really?

Nothing bad, really?

Well, how about when this happened or this happened or mom died?

That wasn't bad.

He's like, there are things that happen that cause scars.

There are things that happen that we don't like.

But you're either going to wallow in that or you're going to learn and take something away from that and help it empower you.

This is the lesson of life.

Don't cower.

Stand back up.

Because life is going to hit you over and over again.

Well, stand up.

So that is,

that's really weirdness number four.

But here's the main weirdness for the left with J.D.

Vance.

He's an entrepreneur.

And it coincides with don't tell anybody you know, don't let anybody tell you what you are or what you aren't.

Don't let anybody tell you no.

Just do it yourself if you believe it you may fail but you're going to pick yourself back up that's an entrepreneurial spirit those are the people with real drive

and they're they're different than people that just want a nine-to-five job and there's nothing wrong with either of them

You can be somebody who's like, I don't want all of that.

I just don't want all of that.

I don't want to be responsible.

I just want to go do my time and make my money, be treated fairly, fairly, and go home and have a life.

I don't know what percentage of the population is like that,

but there's a good portion of the population that is like that.

And those are the people that the left relates to and counts on

because they can use greed and envy.

To have you look at an entrepreneur, somebody with drive.

Look, man, I don't have the drive to do what Elon Musk does.

I don't have the brains to do it either.

So why should I think I should take some money from Elon Musk?

Why would I hate Elon Musk for having the brains and the absolute gall to do what he's done, take all of the risks?

Oh, good for him.

See, what the left doesn't understand is we need each other.

We need the entrepreneurs.

We need the people that think out of the box.

Quite honestly, we need rich people that will build libraries

or invest in some crazy crackpot idea.

By the way, every idea that's changed the world has been crazy or crackpot.

We need the entrepreneurs, the crackpots, the inventors, the people who have drive that just won't stop.

And those people need the nine to fivers.

Can you imagine what it would be like if we were a society that was just full of nothing but entrepreneurs?

You'd think it would be a good thing, but it wouldn't be.

Who's actually holding down the fort?

Who's doing all of the work that needs to be done to get that idea launched?

You have to have the nine to fivers.

You have to have them.

And nine to fivers.

You know, the old saying is, you know, tell me the last poor person that you worked for.

Because those people who have an average salary and everything else, and again, there's nothing wrong with that,

they're not the ones necessarily that have the drive, and maybe they do, and they're waiting for their opportunity or whatever.

But generally speaking, those who want to work nine to five, clock in, clock out, have a life,

those aren't the ones that have the dreams of changing the world.

No entrepreneur can do without them.

So, here's what happens: They think J.D.

Vance is weird because they can't relate to him.

They can't relate to him on anything.

His white poverty

instead of his white privilege.

His red state over their blue state.

His getting back up again over and over again and rejecting the idea, stay down.

You need the government.

Reach out for a handout.

They can't understand that.

Even though his family did take government assistance because they needed it,

you got out of that.

No, stay in it.

He's an entrepreneur.

He's a guy who dedicated himself.

He was a dummy, dedicated himself to learn.

And he did.

And that opened another door.

Don't just go to school and just do it like everybody else does.

Actually choose to be in charge of your education.

Take it seriously and look at the door that will open for you.

They don't understand that.

They want you to sit in that class and learn not to read, not to write, all of the stuff.

They want you to learn how to be a good little soldier for them and the collective.

If you have unbridled crony capitalism, which is what we have had,

if you have it to where the government can get involved and start making bets on who's going to succeed and who's not, what does that give you?

It gives you a culture much like ours.

It gives you a culture where,

God help you,

you're not going to be able to escape because it's not fair because the man,

not in the corporation,

but the corporation and the government keep you down.

You cannot invent a better mousetrap because the people at the mousetrap company have all kinds of laws that they have helped write to make sure you can't start at the begun at the beginning.

And so you get this greed, this envy, this wealth, this power,

and it's all corrupt.

But then the left comes in and says,

let's get rid of these rich people because they're bad.

And we're going to tell everybody else that we're the power

and you can't make it without us.

But who are those people?

Those are the same people at the top now in the corporations and the government that are saying, you can't make it.

Give me more power.

Pass more laws in my favor that are holding us down now.

That's why this system is broken.

And you can't go back to the way it was with crony capitalism.

You got to get rid of all of that.

You have to reduce the size of the government and put a clear wall between the government and business.

They are only there.

The government is only there to say, excuse me, that's against the law.

It's a place for you to run to and say, I need the police.

But you can't do that with the government now.

You're going to run to the FBI?

You think you're going to get a fair shake?

Socialists eat the entrepreneur.

They eat them.

They eat the rich.

And that's why it always fails.

Socialism, communism always fails because it eats the dreamers.

There are no dreamers.

Tell me who the dreamers are in the government.

That's why he's weird to them.

And again, I would say: if that's the case, keep J.D.

Vance weird.

More in a second.

Let me tell you about our sponsor, this F-Hour.

It's American Financing.

If you're like most Americans right now, you are definitely feeling the effects of inflation.

Whether you're watching the numbers spiral at the gas pump, feeling like you got robbed at gunpoint every time you buy groceries.

My gosh, I went yesterday.

We had two shakes,

a sprite,

and a bag of tater, small tater tots.

And it was like $18.

I can't go.

My wife won't go with me anymore to drive-throughs.

She's like, I'm not going with you.

Because then it just evokes like a 20-minute, how is this possible?

Well, you know how it's possible.

If you are in need and you are looking at things like your house and going, I could lose my house, and you are way behind and you have high interest credit card debt,

please, please, please call American Financing.

Your mortgage can be made to work for you.

It can help get you out of that high interest debt fast and help you pay this off.

It's the kind of thing that happens for people when they get in touch with American Financing.

The kind of things like saving $825 every single month.

That's like a $10,000 raise.

Please don't take my word for it.

I want you to do your own homework.

Just call American Financing.

See if they can help you.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Program.

Program.

So, here's what I think that we should should do as conservatives.

I think conservatives, when they hear that J.D.

Vance is weird, embrace it.

Yes, to them he is.

And in today's society, yes, he is.

He believes in marriage.

He's not a bigot.

He believes that each person comes to the table with their own set of beliefs, their own set of rights and wrongs, far as, you know, what they were born with and how they interpret life.

He's not a bigot.

Otherwise, how could could he have married an Indian and, God, do I say, bore two

half-white children?

How can he be a bigot?

He doesn't even think that way.

So that makes him weird in today's world.

And I'd celebrate that.

You know, I think we need to say, look, I believe in two genders.

And that makes me weird in today's society.

Didn't used to, but it does now.

But I believe, and if that makes me weird, that's fine.

I'm staying weird.

I believe, well, I know I could define what a woman is.

You don't think so.

You appoint people on the Supreme Court that don't know how to describe a woman.

I do.

That makes me weird in your world.

You have a choice.

You can either keep living by these lies.

For instance, I know what causes inflation.

J.D.

Vance knows what causes inflation.

Too much spending and printing of money.

I know that.

Your experts don't.

And when I say that's what the problem is, they say I'm weird.

I embrace that weirdness.

Do you want to stay in the same place that has brought all this misery?

Or would you like to join us in the weird place?

Because the weird place, we strangely have answers for things.

And I suggest you join us.

The Glenn Beck Program

Straight

and hold the line.

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

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Well, as Barack Obama said, I would, I'm really interested to see how this all plays out and to see the system work

to be able to to find our next candidate.

Well,

it's been interesting.

I'm not sure people are really paying attention, but there is no part of democracy that is involved in any of this with Kamala Harris.

And she has become the sole candidate for the Democratic nomination, and it will go to a roll call

August 1st, which I think is what?

That's this week, isn't it tomorrow?

So we're going to see, I'm just holding my breath, who's going to be the nominee?

Let me explain how our system works and why this is so wrong in 60 seconds.

First, there is just something extra delicious about biting into a steak or a burger or a piece of chicken, even delicious seafood, knowing that it was harvested here in the United States.

With good ranchers, you're getting meat

that is entirely sourced here in the United States from local farms, local ranchers.

You're getting the best of the best.

You're also getting no antibiotics, no added hormones, just pure, delicious meat.

And the prime deals, you're not only getting incredible savings, but also supporting American farmers, which we have to do.

And they have a July special right now, which is almost over.

You're going to get $100 off and free wagu burgers for a year when you use my promo code back at goodranchers.com.

Their waboo burgers are unbelievable.

Why bother going back to the meat aisle when you already are getting the best delivered?

And the best part about Good Ranchers, it's built by people who actually care about the ranchers, about our food supply, about your children, their children, and our country.

It is trustworthy food that they've created this system.

They wanted trustworthy food for their kids, and they know you're like them.

Join me in the meat revolution and claim your independence from the meat aisle with promo code Beck.

You'll get $100 off and free burgers for a year.

Don't miss out.

Deliver.

So reading this story here, the Democratic National Committee confirmed that the virtual roll call will begin on Thursday, meaning that Harris is the only person that is qualified for the ballot at the convention.

The committee announced the roll call would take place on August 1st if Harris was alone, or August 3rd if other candidates challenged her.

There hasn't been any challenge.

There's no challenge.

Nobody is standing up.

Okay, the cabal has already spoken.

Vice President Kamala Harris became the sole Democratic nominee for president on Tuesday night after the deadline to challenge her nomination passed without any qualified candidates.

Okay, so let me explain how our system works because I don't think a lot of people really understand.

Our system is beautiful in its simplicity and yet

becomes complicated if you don't understand the whys that everything is done.

I think

we all understand

money, the love of money, is the root of all evil.

And there's way too much money sloshing around.

Well, let's talk about this for a second because we are in a society that eats the rich and they'll tell you all the time, even Jesus hated the rich.

He did?

He hated them.

Hated them.

Remember that guy that had all that money?

And he was like, yeah, get your camel through the eye of the needle.

Have you seen a camel and a needle?

Well, okay.

The needle was a gate in the old city, and it was a small gate, but it wasn't a sewing needle.

It was a gate, and you can get a camel through the gate, but you had to shed a lot of stuff.

And he didn't hate rich people.

The reason why he said

what he said,

you know, you're going to have an easier chance getting your camel through the eye of the needle needle

the reason why he said that to him is not because he was rich but because he misunderstood

everything in life takes money except for those eternal things and Jesus was talking about an eternal mission and that guy kept saying you don't understand I don't Jesus listen I don't think you understand I have a pretty big deal around these parts and I got a lot of money and I got a lot of friends and I can help you.

No, Jesus understood.

No, I don't need that.

Go ahead and just leave everything behind.

Would somebody, Paul, come on over here?

Oh, you're still Saul.

No, go away.

You, Peter, come over here.

Will you talk some sense into this guy?

Tell him who I am.

Yeah, Jesus knew who he was.

He didn't need the worldly help.

But in real life,

in our elections, that's part part of the deal.

And it's just a balance to keep it in check.

And we've lost that balance.

So in our place,

the rich people do have a place in our politics, but no more than your place in politics.

And you can see how our founders designed this.

You choose to run.

Let's say, yeah,

I'm going to run for mayor.

Okay, well, if you're going to do that, the first thing you need to do is convince a lot of people that you would make a good mayor.

Just go around town and when you get a coalition of people saying, yeah, I think you'd be a good mayor, okay,

then you need that group to not only support you, but also grow your group something bigger.

You might need just great evangelists.

You also might need somebody with money that can pay for advertising to help get that out.

There's nothing wrong with that.

As long as you don't become beholden to the money and the money doesn't think you're beholden to them.

So you've got the rich people supporting you in an appropriate way.

You've got the people.

And then what happens?

Our whole system is made to keep the election close to you.

The founders wanted one man, one vote, or actually one landowner, one vote.

Women could vote.

I mean, if your husband was dead and you owned the land,

Or if you were alone and owned land and you were a woman, you could vote.

It didn't matter.

It wasn't about sex.

They believed that it was important that you had a stake in this game.

Well, we changed that.

So it's meant to keep close to you and the people who have, you know, a little bit of skin in the game.

So if you have a big enough crowd around you and you have people that can help you get your word out, well, you could win locally.

and then you win statewide and then you win nationally.

But it was always local first.

Because if if it wasn't local if we just went to a national election and we didn't have all these primaries we would always get the the candidate of the big city you'd never get somebody that was from iowa or had iowa sensibilities you'd never have that

because everyone would spend their money in the big cities because that's enough to sway the vote that's why we don't have a pure democracy.

We have a constitutional republic and an electoral college because the founders knew that if these cities get big enough, they'll just eat everything.

They'll eat, you know, all of the outlying areas, even in their own state, and then they'll just, they'll control everything.

I don't want to live under Los Angeles rules, New York rules.

I don't even want to live under Dallas rules, and I live in Texas.

The cities can't control everything because we're all different.

And so they came up with the Electoral College.

And this is really how our system works.

You are voted for in your local district, then your state, and then you get into and say, I want to become president of the United States.

And you have to go to all of these different states, the first ones at least.

and really campaign.

And your job as a citizen is to go and listen to them and question them and listen to both sides and then decide.

Then what happens?

Well, then we have a national vote and that's why these polling numbers that Stu will go through, these national poll numbers mean nothing.

Mean nothing.

Because we don't elect people by popular vote.

But you'll notice the Democrats want the popular vote.

not the Electoral College.

They want the big cities in charge because they are in charge of the big cities.

So who's for democracy now?

On top of that, this system worked pretty well.

And in fact, I think it worked really well in 1980.

But that's when things changed.

The Democrats saw a very unpopular with his own elite in his party.

They saw an unpopular guy nominated for president.

It was Ronald Reagan.

And the elites didn't want him.

They wanted Ford.

And the people wanted Ronald Reagan.

And so the people spoke.

And then when it went to the convention floor, because the electors,

the state representatives, if you will, they have the vote.

And then they divvy that up into the number of

electors.

And they divvy that up.

And then that person in the state at the convention says, okay, how many for this guy?

How many for this guy?

Because we don't go on a national,

you know, one man, one vote sort of way.

It has to be translated so then everything is kind of equal.

And those people stand up.

And if it's close, there can be a debate and there could even be an open convention where it may be somebody else because

it's too close or it's not enough to get to the 270.

Okay.

All right.

So you have an open convention.

And what does that mean?

It means that all of the delegates that have been elected by the local people for their state to represent them and their ideas and their vote, they would go in and say, okay, well, nobody got to 270, so what are we going to do?

Well, somebody did get to 270.

Somebody got to 270, and it was Joe Biden.

You know, who wasn't even voted for by one individual was Kamala Harris.

So if you don't have anybody at 270, because your guy just dropped out, you should have an open convention.

But they didn't.

They didn't.

What happened was, and this is the way history will write it eventually, there was a coup.

They forced this president out by, I believe, blackmailing him with the 25th Amendment.

Now, I don't know why they, you know, just don't want him to run, but he's fine, you know.

running the country.

That's a nightmare.

So they did a coup.

Barack Obama was part of it.

Nancy Nancy Pelosi was part of it.

And they gave him an ultimatum.

And he took the ultimatum and said, okay, I'm out.

And then he did something that I don't think Barack Obama expected.

He then endorsed Kamala Harris.

Barack Obama, I don't think, wanted Kamala Harris, but he let it play out.

And all of a sudden, you know, the press and everybody just gets behind Kamala.

And she's the one.

And she became anointed because she raised $200 million.

That's a lot of money.

Who are these donors?

Well, we don't know.

There's something happening with ActBlue

where they are taking in massive donations.

And then you see, when you go to their chart, you see that it's all from like, you know, Carol Schwartz, Carol Schwartz, Carol Schwartz, Carol Schwartz.

Wait a minute.

She gave $50 donations.

But when you total them all up, it's like over a million dollars.

What is happening here?

And then you go talk to Carol Schwartz and she said, no, I donated to Act Blue a year ago, but I didn't do that.

Somebody's laundering money.

So you have money that is out of control.

And that money, money doesn't talk.

Money screams.

And it was screaming, Kamala Harris.

And so they short-circuited you.

No matter what they say about grassroots up, there is no grassroots movement here.

None of it the grassroots movement here's what the grassroots roots movement was on the left not joe biden not joe biden let us have a primary not joe biden and the money spoke and said we're not doing a primary and they tried to destroy our destroy rfk and anybody else that would run against biden

And they didn't hold it.

And the people wanted a primary because they knew what the press kept saying was wrong.

He's he's absolutely not in control of his faculties.

So they short-circuited that.

Then, when it looked like he was going to lose, they short-circuited him by doing a coup.

Then, when they wanted Kamala in, they short-circuited the convention and the open floor of the convention.

Now,

does that look like democracy to you at all?

Because where has your vote?

where where was your voice you may be convinced now that you're you were for Kamala all the time because the media is just doing an amazing job of repackaging her life why would you need repackaging if she's such a star why would you need to go in and kill stories if she was so great

Why would you need to retract what your own reporters said about her and make sure they've been vaporized so nobody could see them again?

Why do you need to do that if she's the one?

This from the Democrats.

This is the third time they have stole the election from themselves.

The first time was with Bernie Sanders, and the cabal got together and said, He's out, we're going for Clinton.

Okay.

Then it was 20,

what was it, 2018, 2018,

and we have Joe Biden.

Amy Klobuchar was out.

Then what happened?

This.

You haven't had a legitimate candidate

in three elections.

That's kind of weird.

That's weirder than J.D.

Vance.

Your friends on the left might want to think about democracy

because this looks nothing like it.

Back in a second.

In my studio, I have the Holy Grail.

I mean, really the Holy Grail.

Well, it's the Holy Grail from Indiana Jones

and the Cup of the Carpenter.

And it is sitting in my office.

And we've recently put in because I've been gone for so long a SimplySafe system in my office and in the studios around some of the really precious stuff so we can see it at all times

and you know if you want to steal the holy grail well you've chosen poorly because we have it protected by simply safe you're

you're by joining the simply safe family you get something that you don't even have to think about.

10 seconds, station ID.

Now, that takes us into something else that is very, very undemocratic.

And that is trying to save democracy by destroying the Supreme Court.

First of all, all, this is not going to happen unless there's an emergency, which don't ever rule that out, or they gain control of the House and the Senate and the presidency.

If they do, this will absolutely happen.

The Supreme Court is under attack from the Democrats.

Why?

Well, because they've had, what, 50 years of controlling the courts, and all of a sudden, the tables have turned.

And now you have people that are not controlled by the Republicans.

Believe me, the Republicans are not happy with many of the things that are happening still at the Supreme Court.

But constitutionalists can live with that.

The Constitution cuts both ways.

Sometimes it cuts your way, sometimes it cuts the other way, because it is meaning to be fair and honest and just

and play by the same rules.

If everybody plays by the same rules, then you're okay.

It's when you start changing those rules or giving people exceptions, that's what matters.

And when you have people on the Supreme Court that are no longer looking at the document, but they have an agenda.

And if they have an agenda, then they become political.

And it's not a political organization.

So the Democrats have been losing some key things, like I can't pass, I can't give free money away without going through Congress so I can forgive everybody's student loan.

That's a good thing.

No president should be able to do that.

How would you like it if Donald Trump, I don't even know what you think about it, decided to give away free money for

all hookers?

I mean, that would be in your alley right or is for hate mongers.

He was going to give your tax dollars to people who would just hated America.

Well, I don't think the left is actually doing that, so I don't know, but

he doesn't have a right to do that.

He cannot spend my money.

It has to go through Congress.

And that's one reason why they need the Supreme Court to change, because the Supreme Court says the Constitution says all spending starts in Congress.

You want to spend that money, change the law, ask Congress to give you the money.

But they know they can't change the law.

They don't have the votes.

They know they can't spend the money because Congress will never go for it.

So what do they do?

They just try to ram it through, saying they know it's unconstitutional, but they're going to do it anyway.

Well, your last backstop for a Congress or a president out of control is the Supreme Court.

And you can always tell and ask your friends and neighbors about this, are you afraid of Donald Trump?

Are you afraid of Joe Biden?

Because if you are,

That means the Constitution is out of balance.

The Supreme Court needs to rule and rein in the executive powers.

And that's the other thing this Supreme Court is doing that the Democrats are trying to stop.

All righty, we're going to get to some polls with Stu here in just a minute.

So stand by for polls.

Stand by for polls.

Hey, a couple of things I want to talk to you about.

First of all, tonight we are taking on the Supreme Court and what the left is doing.

You don't want to miss today's show.

This is the final play for every authoritarian regime all throughout history.

These three words usually accompany a dictator every single time.

Supreme Court reform.

It is exactly the same that happened in Venezuela.

See if any of this sounds familiar.

Chavez wanted to pack the Supreme Court with more judges.

He wanted limited term limits.

He wanted to assure judicial autonomy with a code of ethics.

That is Chavez.

That is also

Joe Biden and the left.

Tonight, I'll explore the reasons the left Supreme Court freak out and expose the money, the dark money groups that are campaigning to change and expand the court.

We'll also look at the leaks of decisions related to abortion and the left-wing precedents for this kind of insider trading because it has happened before in America, and luckily it was stopped.

Don't miss the Wednesday night special tonight at 9 p.m.

Blaze TV and Thursday on my YouTube channel, youtube.com/slash Glenn Beck.

Why Biden's final move is to destroy the Supreme Court.

Also, Also, I want to encourage you to not

play into the weird stuff.

J.D.

Vance is weird.

Yeah, okay, yeah, he is.

He is.

Well, let's, I mean, let's, let me define my weirdness.

I believe in God.

Do you?

I believe in the Bill of Rights.

Do you?

I believe in the Declaration of Independence.

Do you?

I believe children are perfect the way they were born and they were born either male or female.

Do you?

I believe the government spends way too much of my money and is the root cause of inflation.

Do you?

I believe all people are created equal.

I believe the best way of serving God is helping my neighbor to get past tough times and to achieve.

I believe in the individual over the collective.

Do you?

No, most likely they don't.

They think you're weird, and that's why they think you're weird.

So stand on your weirdness.

You are now in the minority.

You're the outcast now.

That's okay.

Keep J.D.

Vance weird.

That t-shirt is available now at Glenbeckmerch.com.

Okay, let me go to Stu, who has been looking at the poll numbers because

I'm hearing, Stu,

Kamalae Harris is taking off.

She is just like a rocket in the sky.

Yeah.

Can you fill us in on the polls?

Yeah, it's interesting because she hasn't done anything yet.

Like, isn't it like, shouldn't, I mean, we haven't seen a big, massively successful speech or interview or press conference.

In fact, there's not even a press conference scheduled.

Donald Trump has one scheduled today, but no, no, no real appearances.

So how does that happen?

It seems to me that this rollout that everyone is

supporting and praising is really just the media changing its tune.

The media is just deciding they like her now.

And this is one of the things I talked about before Biden had dropped out.

A lot of my friends and people around me would say, hey, like, why do you care that why are you always rooting for Biden to stay in the race?

And the reason for that is

just because Kamala Harris's numbers were worse than Biden's before she was the candidate, that's not real reality.

That's hypothetical nonsense, right?

It's like people guessing as how they might feel if she were the candidate.

Now that she is.

Her numbers have improved.

And there's always a honeymoon period.

And there's a honeymoon period.

And so that's kind of like what the interesting question is right now, because

she's having this honeymoon period at some level, right?

She's definitely tightened this race.

If you look at these polls, what you will find is she's done at least as well as the pre-debate Biden.

So if you think of Biden really falling off a cliff at the debate, which, you know, falling off a cliff was still only a four-point race, even after all the craziness that happened with Biden.

It was still only a four-point race.

But she's tightened that back up to where it was before the debate.

Let me give you a couple of polling averages from a bunch of different sources.

The Economist has it at 47.46 nationally.

Is that Trump?

That's Trump.

I think Trump's up in most of these at least.

In Real Clear Politics has it Trump up by two, 48.46.

New York Times has it the same way.

Trump 48, Harris 46.

Let's see.

And these are national polls.

These are national.

Trump 48, Harris 46.3, according to The Hill.

Nate Silver is the one exception to this.

His current polling average, as of today, this has just been updated over the past few hours.

Kamala Harris 44.4, Donald Trump, 44.2.

That's the first time I've seen that happen.

Now, again, all of these guys have a little bit of special sauce, a little bit of

different ways they calculate these things.

They weight things different ways.

With the exception of real clear politics, it's not just adding up a bunch of polls and dividing it.

That is how they do it.

But still, you get a general sense.

Basically, this is a really close election right now.

A couple of things that I think are really interesting that are going on since Harris jumped into the race.

Number one is the RFK Jr.

factor.

RFK Jr.

was around 10% in the polls in a lot of these polls.

I never believed he would hang up that high.

And one of the reasons why I was

more, I think, skeptical as to a blowout when Biden was in than a lot of people was because at the end of the day, I feel like a lot of these Democrats who were saying they were going to vote for RFK Jr.

were not going to wind up coming home toward the end.

When they realized it might be Donald Trump, they would come back to the Democratic pile, if you will.

And

what we've seen since Harris jumped in is an acceleration of that process.

RFK Jr.

has not collapsed completely, but a lot of his support has gone away.

And in the entire leadup, when Biden was the nominee, what we saw in almost all polls was that Donald Trump was not hurt by RFK Jr.

Biden was the one that was hurt.

It was usually pretty close, but more voters came and left Biden and went to RFK than the other way around.

So when you pulled RFK Jr.

out, you'd see Biden get a little bit closer.

That is reversing itself with Harris in the race.

The people who were disaffected Democrats who were not

aligned with Biden because they thought he was too old or they just thought he was incompetent.

They were embarrassed to be associated with him.

A lot of those Democrats have now pulled away from RFK and gone to Harris.

And the Trump contingent of RFK Jr.

supporters has basically stayed the same.

So now in these polls, what we're seeing is the reverse factor.

RFK Jr.

is hurting Trump more than he is hurting Harris.

Now, as you point out, Pat, honeymoon period is a big factor here.

Is that what we're looking at?

Hope so.

It could just very well be she's getting this bump.

She's had no tough questions put to her yet.

She's not had to explain any of her policy flip-flops.

We're going over those, by the way, tonight on Studios America.

And people are reminded how extreme she is.

She is a radical leftist.

Yes.

She was the most liberal senator in all of the Senate in 2019.

Yes.

Jeremiah Wright.

Yep.

Jeremiah Wright.

Don't forget that.

It didn't matter to people.

And that's true.

And if she's able to kind of maintain that Barack Obama invincibility that he had going into that 2008 election,

she's going to be very, very tough to beat.

For the fact I don't think it's likable.

She's not.

She's not.

So I think a lot of that's going to go away.

I think so, too, when she's exposed a little bit.

The question is, can the media hide her?

Can the media essentially do a COVID-19 era basement campaign thing with Kamala Harris, where she makes speeches on stage.

She's hidden the entire time.

She never gets difficult questions asked to her.

Can they pull that off?

Can they navigate those waters without the voters pushing so hard that eventually they have to give in and ask tough questions?

Why shouldn't they squelch the Kamala cackle?

That is going to be a difficult question.

She's obviously trying to do that already.

She's noticing that she's not been cracking up as hard as she normally does.

She knows it's a weakness.

And so that's part of it.

Another big part, Glenn and Pat, is the double hater factor.

You remember the double haters?

You go back to 2016, you have people who hate Donald Trump and hate Hillary Clinton.

Where do they land?

Well, the majority of them landed with Donald Trump.

He became president.

2024 happens.

A lot of people still don't like Donald Trump.

Some don't like Biden, though he's kind of seen as more innocuous, sort of a filler replacement-level candidate.

And Biden is able to be victorious.

You go into this campaign, and you have a lot of double haters.

The Biden thing, he's no longer an innocuous candidate.

He's a bad president.

So now you have people who are looking at them.

About 20% of voters say, we hate both of these guys.

This is when Biden is in.

That number now with Harris in has dropped from 20 to 8.

Oh, wow.

So a lot of the people who were double haters were Biden exclusive haters.

And with Harris, they don't hate her yet.

They may eventually begin to hate her.

Does that include more black voters?

Oh, they will if she becomes president.

They'll hate her.

Yes.

It's black voters, Pat, to your point.

Black voters and young voters.

Yeah.

Those are the two groups that are like, well, we don't like Biden.

He's too old.

We don't like him.

But now you get affinity, perhaps, from the, as everyone likes to put everybody in racial groups.

And then also young voters who just, who are Democrats, who just couldn't take Joe Biden.

He's like my great, great, great grandpa.

Obviously, he can't be president.

So they were dropping out.

Some of them were going to RFK.

Some of them were going to Jill Stein.

Some of them were going to Donald Trump.

Many of those have come back to Harris.

Now, Harris is an empty vessel, I think mentally, but also as a candidate, right?

Like she's

she's not someone at this point

where

people have strong feelings about her.

They just thought her, saw her as generally incompetent, but now the excitement level is there solely because she's not Joe Biden.

Let me ask you this.

Are these voters for Kamala concerned about the significance of the passage of time?

There's no polling on that at all.

Have they considered, you know, what can be

unburdened by what has been?

I mean, I'm looking right now at the polls.

None of these models account for that.

Then good.

These are wild card polls that don't really matter.

Well, but there are some polls that matter.

For example, among people who love school buses, she's getting 94% of that vote.

And

that is incredible.

That is incredible.

It's huge in the Venn diagram contingency as well.

She's right there.

So those things I think are going to be big factors going into the election.

I will say,

the danger's there, though.

I mean, I think two, three, four weeks ago, even with all the before the debate and certainly after the debate, everybody I talked to who's a big Trump fan, wants Trump to win, was so confident, didn't think it was possible.

And as

I mentioned to them and ruined all their days many, many times,

when you have a dynamic that's as good as Trump versus Biden, you don't want that to change.

And any change is risk.

And while I still think he is the the favorite,

any change in that dynamic, and we've had a big one, is a risk to the Trump presidency.

And if he doesn't find a way to push back and turn her into someone who can also be part of the double hater contingency, it's going to get difficult and very close.

Well, the nice thing is for them is that they could erase everything that they have done.

They can erase, you notice nobody's talking about the trials of Donald Trump.

Nobody's talking about that.

Nobody's talking about locking him up, what he criminally is, none of that.

They've jettisoned all of that because it wasn't working, and they've dramatically changed the landscape.

That's a significant, significant thing

in this race.

All right, more in just a minute.

will be right back.

So my wife

left the ranch today.

She's got some stuff to do out in California.

And

so she left the ranch today, and I have Dennis Quaid coming tomorrow.

And

she was like, you got to vacuum the floor.

You got to vacuum the floor.

Make sure you dust the...

And I'm like, it's not Jesus.

Jesus isn't coming.

It's Dennis Quaid.

And I'm doing an interview with him with the Reagan thing.

And

I'm sorely tempted just to go leaf crumbs all over the floor now.

because he'll never notice.

He'll never notice.

Never.

If you walk into a house that smells like a litter box, you notice those things, you know?

But if you're generally clean, I think people are cool, you know?

Don't you think?

Or is that just the guy thing?

Because my wife is like,

it's got to be clean.

It's got to be clean.

She's like that with everybody.

Stu's coming over.

We've known Stu for 20 years.

We can't shake this guy.

Right.

What do you mean you mean?

And

whenever you think I'm coming over, I have an appointment and I have to cancel.

But I think

I will say I'm married to a woman who vacuums approximately 12 hours a day.

So I don't know what you're talking about.

In fact, she will even vacuum.

We'll be going out to dinner and she'll vacuum

right before we leave and then also when we get home.

And it's like, well, what?

What do you think occurred in this house in between when we just left for dinner and when we came back?

Yeah.

So is there a possibility she's trying just to ignore you?

Yes.

Can't hear you over the vacuum money.

It's

only 94% possibility, Glenn.

I don't think it's higher than that.

Here's the worst thing that happens.

The worst thing that happens with me is

what was it, Monday or something, I vacuumed.

She was gone and I vacuumed and I cleaned and I dusted and she came home and she pulls out the vacuum and dusting.

And I think I did a really good job.

I mean, I really thought it was pretty impressive.

I really worked hard at it.

And I said, honey, I already did that.

And she went,

and then she just turned the vacuum on again.

Oh.

You know, you load the dishwasher and then you come in and she's reloading it because you loaded it incorrectly.

What, how,

how,

how did you, how can you possibly load a dishwasher incorrectly?

Do all the dishes come out clean?

Yes.

You have the knowledge to write a movie script about my life, Glenn.

A biography about my life.

You have all the knowledge needed to describe it.

No, every guy has this.

Every guy, I look at my son and I'm like, you see, this is going to be your life soon.
