All right, sitting in for Stupor Gear today is my very dear friend, Pat Gray.

Hello, Pat.

Hello, Glenn.

So it was interesting, wasn't it, this weekend?

We started Friday with someone releasing that Joe Biden would on Sunday resign.

Now, this is not what Joe Biden said.

In fact, nobody in the White House agreed with that on Friday.

In fact, just before the tweet went out, nobody in the White House even knew he was going to.

I'm going to get back to that here in a second because I think something

doesn't smell right.

Now, the reason why they say is because

of money polling.

It would wipe out the Democratic Party.

Staff, friends, donors all abandoned Joe Biden.

I don't think that's it.

Why did they announce on Friday, and who announced on Friday, that

a missive would be coming from the White House and he would resign?

Now, this is why this bothers me.

When you do something this dramatic, first time in American history, when you do something this dramatic,

you don't usually just spring it on everyone.

You usually will go in and have a speech and they will announce that the president is, and they'll speculate what he's going to say, et cetera, et cetera.

And then he gives a speech from the Oval Office.

In his

stepping down from the party, he said he would be addressing it later this week.

Why?

Why didn't he address it from the Oval like all other presidents?

Why would he just pop it out?

My guess is there was another gun waiting to go off.

You have until noon, you have until 2 p.m.

on Sunday to resign.

Or what?

What did Joe Biden get in return for

resigning?

Was there

were there promises made by anyone that we will make sure that you're not

You're not held responsible for any of those crimes that you might have committed?

And was it said this way?

Look, Joe, you and I both know there's some real flaming hot evidence here that you were selling your country out.

We'll make sure that goes away, and you and your family will be pardoned.

But you have until noon on Sunday.

I don't know, that's speculation, but I feel like there was a gun that was going to go off on Sunday at

some point.

There is also,

you know,

they can pardon him if he steps down from presidency.

I don't think he's going to be president until the end of the year or until January 20th.

But

they can pardon him if he's not the president.

They can pardon his family.

And they can very easily blame that now on if Trump gets in, it's going to be just revenge.

He's just going to put all the Bidens in family and we had to.

And that'll be good enough, apparently, for a lot of Democrats.

Nancy Pelosi was the driving force behind all of this.

And I loved Nancy Pelosi in the last few weeks where she was like, you know, we want Joe Biden to make the decision himself.

I made the decision.

I'm staying.

Yeah, right.

But he'll make that decision.

And we're waiting for that decision.

I already made that decision.

As like I said, he'll make it.

And we're very excited for him to make that decision.

It's like Barack Obama used to say, you know, we can get along.

You just have to get in the boat with me.

Oh, wait.

So wait, I'm a radical that needs to be destroyed, but you'll forgive me if I sign up for everything you want to do.

Oh, okay.

All right.

So

she was the driving force behind this.

Now, Alex Soros said he would not endorse Kamala Harris,

yet he did right away yesterday.

In fact, people are lining up.

Barack Obama strangely did not

endorse Kamala Harris.

I personally don't think, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, I don't think Kamala is going to be the

candidate in the end.

Who do you think it's going to be?

Pat?

I don't know.

I don't see how they pass her up because she's a black woman, so you got double identity politics going there.

She's the next in line.

She'd be really tough to jettison.

But if they open it up at the convention, pretty much anything could happen.

So

I think they'd like it.

It would be Gavin Newsom

or Gretchen Whitmer.

Oh, I hope.

Yeah.

But I hope.

Yeah.

You know, here's the thing.

You know, they,

first of all, why didn't Biden step down?

There's a couple of questions.

Why didn't he step down as President of the United States?

If he is not capable of running a campaign, he is certainly not capable of running the White House.

Now, that may have been the gun that was going to go off.

25th Amendment.

We're going to take you out of the oval.

We'll leave you as president so you can finish your term and we'll have parades for you and everything else.

And you'll be remembered as one of the greatest presidents of all time.

And gee, look at how George Washington you are by stepping aside for the good of the country and the party.

That is a possible gun that could have gone off.

Otherwise, the 25th Amendment is going to be exercised.

So there's no reason why the man.

can't run a campaign, you know, because all of this is he's cognitively not there.

He can't do it.

He can't debate.

Well, if you can't debate, I don't want you in a room with Putin or Z, I don't want you on the telephone with anybody.

But the Democrats are suddenly fine with that because they say he can't win.

Well, Pat, look at Kamala Harris's poll.

Kamala Harris, she is

below

Joe Biden.

She is

more unliked than Donald Trump is.

So why would they go for somebody else who has this horrible, horrible

image and likability problem who polls just the same, if not a little below Joe Biden?

Why would you have that as your replacement?

That doesn't make sense.

No.

Really, I mean, nobody makes sense, though, on the Democrat side.

Who does make sense?

Gavin Newsom has a terrible record in California that can be exploited easily.

Gretchen Wittmer in Michigan, I mean, she's terrible.

They've got nobody.

Right.

But I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about what doesn't make sense to me is why you jettison somebody and you say it is because he's not capable.

Okay.

We'll lose.

He's not capable.

He's not capable of running a campaign, but he's okay to run the country for the next six months.

Doesn't make sense.

That bothers me.

That's an inconsistency.

Then also the other thing that bothers me is the honest ones will say, well, he just can't beat Donald Trump.

His poll numbers are too horrible.

Well, Kamala's poll numbers are just as horrible.

So

why wouldn't you

why would you let him in and then accept this person?

And why wouldn't you push for him to retire?

Is it because then you lose the first female black president uh to be president as a as a uh election trick

i mean why wouldn't he just resign and her take over and then she can run and she'll have you know she'll be the president and you can show what she can do and that you know people get used to it

or do you need the fact that she'll be the first black uh you know asian

uh

president, female.

I mean,

I don't think they want to waste it on her.

I honestly don't.

I don't think they want, I mean, they are holding that back.

And I don't know how they get away with not running her as president because of that.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You took her on.

You know you took her on because of DEI.

You took her on for DEI purposes.

And now you're not going to let her go because you say she's not qualified.

You want, what, a white woman?

A white man?

They can't get away with that.

They're so screwed.

They really are.

Every second of it.

Yeah.

It's going to be a fun convention.

I mean, if you thought 1968 was chaos, wow.

I mean, they didn't have the kind of chaos within the party that in 1968 that they have now.

This is unprecedented stuff.

And

this is something that you really want to pay attention to because this is American history in the making.

How is it, Pat, that we have

Democrats that have been saying that this is the end of democracy, and yet the same ones that have been telling you he's fine, he's fine, he's fine.

are now the ones saying, boy, he's not fine.

They called us a conspiracy theorist to say that he wasn't fine.

Then when it was exposed, they're the ones saying

it's okay.

They were also the ones or that it's not okay.

They were also the ones that said, no, he doesn't need to have a primary.

We don't primary him.

He doesn't need to go and actually campaign in primary.

They wanted to keep this quiet for as long as they could.

So they're the ones, because remember, when there was no primary, the reason why people were talking about it, because a lot of Democratic voters didn't want Joe Biden.

They didn't think that he, but those people were crazy and dangerous, their own voters.

So they had 14 million people vote for Joe Biden.

And now, for the third time, the presidential election in the Democratic Party is going to be decided by elites.

The first time it occurred was 2016 when the Democratic National Committee manipulated money in the process to help Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders.

Remember that?

And all the Sanders people were pissed off.

Super delicious.

The second time, right, the second time was 2020 when the party elites pushed out Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar so Elizabeth Warren would split the progressive vote with Bernie Sanders, which then made Biden the candidate.

Both times, both times, people knew this was happening.

Now, this time,

even though

she was deeply, deeply unpopular with Democratic voters, remember she came in last.

She bailed.

Nobody liked her.

She's now apparently going to be the candidate because they thwarted the primary system, so they didn't let the people speak.

And now they're going to go to an open primary.

That's what they're actually calling for.

I'll explain that in 60 seconds.

First times, sometimes saving a life means spending years in medical school and taking on crippling student loans.

Sometimes it just means training to fight fires or training to fight crime.

Sometimes it even means just being willing to lay down your life as a sacrifice for the lives of others.

Sometimes, though, sometimes the cost for saving a life is nowhere near that high.

Sometimes it's $28.

This is not hyperbole.

$28 could save a life.

Pre-born now is the largest pro-life organization in the country, and they're leading the charge to put an end to the atrocity of abortion.

And every day, they sponsor free ultrasounds for $28 for women, as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born.

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

Your donation of $28 sponsors an ultrasound.

It is critical to join in the battle for life.

Let's join together.

It is crazy for the Democratic Party,

the ones that are shouting that, you know, we're headed towards a dictatorship where the elites will call all the shots.

They have the elites calling all the shots.

You know, it was a very small number of Democratic Party donors and the media that chose Hillary Clinton, Biden, and Harris.

It was the media that influenced the donors and decided Biden should go after his, you know, they should go after him on the disastrous debate performance.

The ordinary Democrat, really, do you realize you don't have a voice anymore?

When the media insisted he was fine, you just jumped on board with the media saying, yeah, see, you guys are liars.

How many times do they have to do this to you before you wake up and go, gosh, these guys are really not good people.

They're just not good people.

Well, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.

You are sacrificing your own influence, your own liberty, your voice.

What, at the

altar of not Trump?

How many people do you think in China and Russia and Iran right now are like, well, I don't know.

I mean,

now it's a toss-up.

Do we go for Kamala or Trump?

They're all going for Kamala Harris.

It's going to get even easier for them.

And here's how this is going to work.

So

in early August, they're trying to put this together.

In early August, they're going to have an open primary.

So it'll be an open convention.

And they'll go out and say to all the delegates, who do you want to be president?

If they come up with Kamala Harris, then they're all going to be like, Kamala's the one.

But then on the second vote, it is

open to the super delegates.

These are about 5,000 of the super elites.

And the super elites get to vote.

And whatever the super elites get to vote, whatever they vote, well, that's going to probably be, well, that's more important than the other delegates, I'll tell you that.

So you've got about 5,000 people total that are going to be making the decision in Chicago on

who you can have as your choice for president of the United States.

And it's all caused by the same people who are now voting.

They're all the ones that told you he was fine.

They're all the ones that said, no, no, no, he's super, super moderate.

He's just a fuddy-duddy.

He's just a little old man that just means well.

And these are the people who are saving democracy.

Let's not forget.

This is all about democracy democracy and how they're trying to save this country from

the non-democratic Donald Trump.

And you know that that's right.

I mean, the super delegates are going to decide this thing next month.

It's absolutely what's going to happen.

And I don't think the super delegates and the super elite in the Democrat Party, I don't think they want Kamala Harris.

Oh, I don't.

I don't think so either.

I don't think so either.

You'll notice that Barack Obama did not endorse

Kamala.

Yeah.

And it's interesting to me.

I don't think that she's going to be the nominee.

I could be wrong, but I just don't think

something's going to happen that will make it easy for her not to be

the presidential candidate.

At least that's what I

That's what I think.

I mean, they just they don't want the American people are not going to stand for another crampdown.

They're not.

Oh, she's the first female black Asian president.

Nobody cares anymore.

They just don't care anymore.

And she's wildly unlikable.

Wildly.

I mean,

first of all, the first female president didn't work with Hillary because she's as likable as Kamala Harris.

The two are just, you put them in a room together.

I think they cancel each other out.

I think they just disappear.

And her policies

are

a little crazy.

She does have policies, kind of.

At least we can look at her record and see what she was for and what she was against.

And

it's going to be a, well, it's not an easy transition to make for most Americans, and I believe most Democrats.

Taking care of your family in today's economy is not easy.

It's downright terrifying for a lot of Americans right now.

You trust Kamala to fix it for you.

You find yourself increasingly using that credit card, not because you want to, but because you feel like you have to.

You have to.

And then the whole time you're using it, you're just piling on to never-ending cycle cycle of credit card interest that accrues at the end of every single month, and you know it, but you have to.

Man, I feel for you if you were trapped in this, especially if you've been fiscally responsible your whole life, as most people have been.

Glenn Beck and filling in for Stubergear is Mr.

Pat Gray.

Thanks for joining me, Pat.

I appreciate it.

Wow.

Quite an amazing weekend,

if I dare say myself.

Quite an amazing weekend.

How did you process this, Pat?

What do you come away with bottom line?

Democrats are liars.

I mean,

how many times were we told,

nope,

I'm sticking in the race.

I'm staying.

I'm in it to win it.

I'm not going all the way.

I'm fine.

Nothing's wrong.

That was a one-time event.

I mean, we heard it all.

And then even on Friday, when people were saying, yeah, he's out this weekend, the White House still denied it.

Still on Friday, on Saturday, on Sunday, the co-chair of his campaign didn't know it.

He's tweeting stuff out.

And the guy's already, like 20 minutes later, he announces the fact that, yeah, I got this letter and I'm stepping back.

I'm stepping aside.

What was the deal that was made?

I haven't heard anybody talking about this, but there was a deal made.

Has it been?

There was a deal made.

What was the deal?

What was it?

Could easily be, it could easily be,

it could be about Hunter.

I think that would be compelling to him.

It could be about his legacy,

letting him stay until his term is over.

You know, otherwise they invoke the 25th Amendment.

Could be either of those.

I will tell you, if I'm Donald Trump, do not start campaigning against Kamala.

Your foe,

I think, is undecided, even if it is Kamala.

Who is running?

the country.

We know it wasn't Joe Biden.

We know it's not going to be Kamala.

So who's actually running the country?

Who's making these decisions?

What kind of deal was made behind closed doors?

You want to save democracy?

Well, the way to do it is make sure that the Democrats can't do what they are about to do in their own convention.

You know,

this is a shadow government that everybody knows is happening.

They know that Joe Biden just didn't come up with it it himself.

It wasn't a personal decision.

That was a negotiation with somebody.

Who is the question?

With Kamala, who?

Who is running the show there?

Who was the one you have to go to now and kiss the ring?

I would say

that he needs to go against the entire

shadow government, the entire

the entire left

infrastructure that is actually pulling all the strings, writing all the bills, telling everybody exactly what to do.

That's what he should be going after.

Because Kamala, it may not be.

Can you imagine, Pat?

Let me just say some crazy fiction writer kind of stuff.

If I'm a fiction writer, I write this story up to this point, but my big finale that goes to the next book is in Chicago, radicals are on the street, there's crazy things happening on the convention floor, and something happens to the president and the vice president on their way there.

Then my next book would be

somebody that has the trust of the American people.

Unconstitutional, but he has the trust of the American people.

He steps up because he happens to be there at the White House or whatever, and everything is in chaos.

And he says, I know constitutionally this goes to the House of Representatives and the Speaker of the House, but nobody knows who that guy really is.

And things are in too much chaos.

I'm taking charge for right now,

and

I will release as soon as we get things stable.

But America trusts me, I'm going to be the guy until we can get through this election period.

We're just going to hold things down.

I could see that happening in a fiction world, simple, and people would believe it.

I just hope that we wouldn't accept it in the real world.

And I'm not saying Barack Obama would be the one.

In the fiction world, he's the guy I would make.

But I just, you know, I don't think he would, well, maybe.

I don't know.

I I don't know.

Yeah.

But I mean, I don't put him in the middle of the morning.

Is that completely, forget about Barack Obama, that something could happen

to those two before the election.

Do you really believe that that's

that

unbelievable that it couldn't happen?

It's, I mean, constitutionally, it's, it is hard to accept that it could happen.

But the way you let it go.

Okay, no, no, no.

No, not the coup part.

Yeah, not the coup part.

Just the Secret Service not doing their job.

Something happens.

Something happens on their way.

Yeah, we've already seen that.

Yeah.

And I'm sorry.

I do not believe that

I don't believe the first thing, I think they're going to hear her testimony, the head of the Secret Service today.

I think at 10 o'clock, we should take it.

She should start with her resignation.

Oh, yeah.

I do not believe that

we're getting the truth on what happened with the assassination attempt.

First of all, what, what

self-respecting Secret Service agent or SWAT team would say, well, you know, that is a

three-degree grade on that.

I think it's pretty dangerous for us.

Nobody would.

No.

No.

Nobody would.

Come on.

And now my orcas is now on the record as lying to Congress because the New York Times and the Washington Post said, oh, yeah, here's the evidence.

The Trump administration was, or the Trump people, were asking for extra secret service, and we refused to give it to them.

He said that was absolutely untrue.

Now, they're trying to say, well, that's because it was a long-term problem.

His people were burned out, and so morale was low.

Wait a minute.

It's your job to provide protection.

We're a country that is $35 trillion in debt.

I don't know, hire a few more people.

They're burned out.

There's no reason for that.

When I was in New York, I had to have a daytime team.

Remember this?

I had a daytime team and a nighttime team because I was burning out everybody.

So what did we do?

We paid for another detail.

That's what the Secret Service should do.

Instead, they're just saying, Donald Trump, he's just everywhere.

He just won't stop.

Right.

So your job is to protect him wherever.

That's the job.

Right.

That's the job.

So I worry about President Biden and I worry about Kamala Harris.

I worry about

the

DNC

in Chicago.

Now they will twist this into Glenn Beck because he's threatening that something.

No, I'm not.

I think it'll come from the left, quite honestly, or inside.

The call's coming from inside the house.

I don't think it would come from the right.

And I am seriously concerned about it.

And I've expressed my concern about the incompetence of the Secret Service since Barack Obama was president.

I felt his life was in danger as well.

But here you have a situation where they got to get rid of, you know, Joe Biden.

Now, some will say, well, they just did.

Did they?

Did they?

And you've left it in the hands of Kamala Harris.

I mean, I don't.

You do remember that she was one of only 14 people that endorsed the Green New Deal.

14 people

put their names on it.

She was one of them.

Bernie Sanders was another one.

Elizabeth Warren, so the radical of the radical Democratic senators actually went for this.

And she also co-sponsored single-payer health care, a complete transition away from fossil fuels in 10 years, which would have meant by the end of coal, oil, and natural gas, not to mention the collapse of our economy, by 2030.

Universal government jobs guarantee.

She also was for a government program promising universal access to healthy foods.

She wanted to upgrade every U.S.

home and business building in the country for energy efficiency.

She had UBI, universal basic income, new national living wage standards, more power for labor unions, free college, a whole new electric grid, the end of gasoline cars by 2030, and the transformation of U.S.

agriculture, including the end of much of the cattle industry.

That's what she was for.

And let's suffer.

Does anybody remember why you didn't want to vote for her?

She was also the border czar.

How'd that turn out?

She was really good at allowing 10 million illegals into the country and hundreds of people on the terror watch list.

She's a democratic socialist and incompetent.

Tell me the thing that she has really done and earned her way.

Tell me.

Tell me.

And let me ask you this.

Xi Jinping,

Iran, the Mullah over there, the guy whose name rhymes with Mutin,

do you think that they are all looking at the Harris administration going, oh, I don't know, man,

she could really thwart us.

She's a tough one.

I mean,

100% predictable.

She's zero international relationships, open borders.

borders.

You know, she laughs when she's asked about the energy transition to solar or hydroelectric.

So let's do a quick poll of all the world

leaders that are not aligned with Western values.

They're begging for Kamala to be president.

Would you rather, you're a despot, okay?

You're a totalitarian regime.

You're the despot.

You're sitting there.

Would you rather face the unpredictability of a Trump regime or the soft, inexperienced, deer-in-the-headlights, ha,

I just love school buses, Kamala Harris, which one?

Name your hotspot.

India, Brazil, the EU, the EU.

Do you think they want to face Trump's America first?

Or

I think you know America.

All right, back in just a minute.

First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

We don't build the parallel economy because we're glad that it's necessary.

We build it because we don't have a choice in the matter.

It is necessary.

for a limited time at McDonald's, get a Big Mac extra-value meal for $8.

That means two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun, and medium fries, and a drink.

We may need to change that jingle.

Prices and participation may vary.

Listen, Vladimir, I don't think you understand.

Yes, Biden was very, very tough, but this one that's coming up, we must do everything, make sure Trump gets elected.

Kamala Harris, she

listened to her.

She knows the secret of school buses.

Listen.

You know what also excites me?

Among the many things, I'm excited about electric school buses.

I love electric school buses.

I just love them

for so many reasons.

Maybe because I went to school on a school bus.

Raise your hand if you went to school on a school bus.

All right.

Pledme, put hand down.

You don't understand the threat here.

Put hand down.

You would see she captivated you with that.

And she also knows secrets of Venn diagrams.

Think of the movement through the lens of something I love, which is to always think about complex issues through the frame of a Venn diagram.

I love Venn diagrams.

I do.

I love Venn diagrams.

See what I'm saying?

It's nerdy.

I'm just saying.

She loves Venn diagrams.

What am I saying?

She loves Venn diagrams.

Very dangerous, Vladimir.

And she knows the world.

Listen how she knows where she is, where we are, even as we speak.

It is the Caribbean nations, island nations, in the Western Hemisphere.

That is where the Caribbean is.

We are also in the Western Hemisphere.

They are our neighbors.

So, Ukraine is a country in Europe.

It exists next to another country called Russia.

Russia is a bigger country.

Russia is a powerful country.

Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine.

So

basically, that's wrong.

It is wrong.

Vladimir, she knows it's wrong.

I think she's plant from CIA.

I mean,

who's walking into one of their offices and saying something like that?

Vladimir, she's very dangerous.

And you didn't even cover the passage of time she knows about.

Talking about the significance of the passage of time,

right?

The significance of the passage of time.

So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires, what we need to do to create these jobs.

And there is such great significance to the passage of time when we think about a day in the life of our children.

Yeah.

When you consider...

They believe this is all cold.

I believe this is all code.

This is some sign of secret code.

Otherwise, it makes no sense.

Oh, my gosh.

Really?

Really?

She could be president of the United States of America.

Uh-huh.

My guess is she will be president before the end of the year.

That's my guess.

Maybe Stu could make a $10,000 bet with me.

We'll give you the answer here in just a second.

It was an enormous short against the position of Donald J.

Trump.

One day before the assassination attempt of 7-13, it was done by Austin Private Wealth LLC, which is a majority-owned George Soros and BlackRock LLC.

And it had George Bush Sr.

and Jr.

involved in it.

They have the support of ACLU,

all kinds of different things, including Alex Soros.

Did they dump

a huge position on Donald Trump a day before?

We'll give you the answer with Carol Ross in 60 seconds.

So let me go to Carol Roth now, who is joining us.

She is the author of You Will Own Nothing and a former investment banker.

I want to talk to her a little bit about Kamala Harris, but also about this

so-called

short, taking a short position against Donald J.

Trump a day before the assassination attempt of 7-13.

She's been looking into it for us.

Carol, welcome.

Hi, Glem.

Have you aged 12 years in the last 10 days like I have?

Yes, I have.

Yes, I have.

Yes, I have.

And I think we're going to age another 40 years by the end of the summer.

Yeah, I think you're right, unfortunately.

Okay, so tell me, tell me, is this true or not, the Trump media option story?

So this was one of the biggest stories going around social media and certainly was very odd, right?

The day before he gets assassinated, there is this big

set of options contracts betting against the stock, saying that the stock, they were betting that the stock was going to fall massively, millions and millions of contracts.

And of course, everybody's tying, what does this mean, what does this mean?

So this is what I found based on publicly available information.

So registered investment advisor called Austin Private Wealth, as you mentioned, they have to to file what's called a 13F filing.

This is a disclosure filing that's required quarterly from any investment manager that has more than $100 million in assets under management.

And basically, it lists all of their equity holdings, which usually includes equity-related options and other ETFs and stocks and the like, at the end of every quarter.

And since after the quarter ends, it takes a little bit of time to gather the data.

You know, that's usually filed within a few weeks after the end of the quarter.

So the filing for Austin Wealth as of the end of June was made on July 12th.

So people who sort of

think that this was reflective of something that happened on July 12th didn't really appreciate that this was an end of June report that was filed on July 12th.

So that sort of set off the first wave of conspiracies.

The second thing, very unfortunate, is that they had a third-party vendor apparently according to their press release that had erroneously misstated their positions.

And that meant that for the

Trump media group that they had put,

instead of putting 12 contracts, which represented 1,200 shares, because each contract is 100 share, it showed that they had 12 million share equivalents.

So

that sounds a little sketchy.

Why would they do that?

But they did that on every single call and put option that they had listed.

So it was for NVIDIA, they had 370 million shares listed, Bank of America 110 million shares.

So this was a clear error across the board.

And because I don't believe anything, I went back and I checked all of the previous filings.

And in all of the previous filings, they had

a normalized number of contracts being shown.

So it was clear this was a mistake and it was an outlier.

So when you put these two things together and

it looks like there's so many shares and it's done at a time period that looks like it was the Friday before the assassination attempt, but really that was just a filing date, it got very blown out of proportion.

And they recognized their error and they did a new filing that they had to amend with the SEC.

And this is on July 16th.

And for anybody who's super nerdy and likes to go through and look at filings, this is all available on the SEC site, Edgar, which allows you to find all the filings, the

publicly available filings that are made by companies.

So it's an unfortunate mistake in terms of timing and sort of the scope of the mistake that was made.

Okay.

Let me take

the next one, and that is crowd strike.

There was a major outage this weekend, and they say it was just a release of new software, and it was, you know, it was just an error that nobody caught.

How does that happen and put the United States, I mean, there were like 12 planes flying in the sky because of this, and Europe was hit even harder than we were?

Yeah, this is, you know, I've talked about Nassim Taleb before in previous books and things like that, and he's the author and sort of coiner of the phrase the black swan in wider use.

And they talk about these systemic risks that are being brought on by the fact that we're all so interconnected and technology is really exacerbating the systemic risk.

In fact, it's one of the reasons I argued and you will own nothing that a central bank digital currency on top of all the other reasons made no sense because it increases

that idea that you could have this massive one-off systemic risk instead of everything being decentralized and having maybe more frequent but smaller risks.

So when you have a firm that is tied in to basically every major company on the planet and is impacting how their infrastructure runs, you're increasing the ability to have these huge systemic risks.

Now, how can this happen?

Is it intentional?

Is it a test run?

Is it just just incompetence?

Unfortunately, I tend to think that we are in the era of incompetence.

And that is in many ways just as bad.

And we've seen in all of these different areas of our life these sort of lackadaisical policies and the fact that people are no longer in school taught merit and excellence and the value of their name and their work and they just want to be given things based on equity and because I showed up, up,

you do get these worse outcomes.

And so how could it happen?

I mean, we all sit there and go, yeah, wouldn't you test for these things?

But that's sort of the reality we're living in.

And I think it really should highlight and put a giant red neon sign on the fact that we shouldn't all be on these same systems.

There should be some level of decentralization.

There should at least be a secondary fail-safe because you know this is something that was massive and was able to be brought back up in short order.

But the next time that may not be the case, and this is the kind of stuff you and I have been talking about in terms of preparation, because you know, what if you didn't have ATM access for multiple days?

What if you didn't have access to a pharmacy that couldn't get you your medication on time because you know they couldn't access their records?

I mean, there's so many things now that are all completely reliant on technology, which is great when it works 99% of the time, and when it doesn't work, it can be a disaster.

So, quickly, I just want to touch on Jamie Diamond being thrown around.

What a surprise that is.

When I saw him at Davos, and he was like, you know, we should take a second look at Donald Trump.

I don't think he's that bad of a guy.

He thought

he wants to be Treasury Secretary.

But I also saw a story that Donald Trump is friends with Larry Fink from BlackRock and would consider that.

I don't believe that.

But what have you heard?

Yes, I saw that headline as well, and I almost fell over.

You know, in the Jamie Dimon versus Larry Fink, I'm taking Jamie Dimon every single day.

You're 24-7, 365, every single time.

Jamie himself has been positioning

to get out of JP Morgan for the first time ever.

He said that, you know, it's no longer a, yeah, I'm going to be here for the next five years.

It's, you know, I'm looking for a successor.

One of the things that you may or may not be aware of, and that's happened with Gary Cohen in the last administration, is that if you go into an administration, they make you sell all of your shares, which means you don't have to at that point pay the capital gains taxes on them.

So it's

a really great way if you've got a lot of stock to get a windfall.

So, and given the fact that Jamie Diamond is plugged in with all of these people and knows what's going on, I think that that's one to watch for.

Larry Fig, I think we all need to raise our voices if that sounds like it's becoming something that's going to happen.

Yeah, I'm

always tell you that for people who say, Should I get out of the stock market?

You have to remember these guys are always taking care of their own.

If we're talking about Jamie Dimon in charge of things, what do you think his number one priority is going to be?

Wall Street.

Right.

So let me switch now to Kamala Harris.

Just based on the insane thing she was for when she was a senator and running,

what happens to the economy under Kamala Harris?

Yeah, this is very scary.

I mean, we know that Kamala doesn't have a lot of economic sense.

We know she likes Venn diagrams, but that's about it.

And yellow school buses.

Yes, and yellow school buses.

So that's sort of the extent of her economic knowledge.

And what's scary about that is it makes her more susceptible to the bad actors.

We already know that Biden was not the one who was running the last administration.

I mean, that's super clear to everyone.

He was positioned as a moderate, and he was the most destructive president economically and otherwise that we have seen in a lifetime.

So now you have the same people who are pulling the puppet strings, and now they have Kamala Harris, who has, and I know that Justin Haskins, your co-author, has brought this up before,

she has a very checkered history.

She was, I think a lot of people forget this, she was one of the Senate sponsors, co-sponsors of the original Green New Deal.

So she put her

insane.

Yeah, I don't think people remember because the Biden version is insane too, but this was like $100 trillion insane, and that was their estimate.

So, you know, this is somebody who is in the same league as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren when they're talking about policy.

we have her on video saying things like, I don't think there should be any private health care.

And if you go back to being somebody who wanted to step into that co-sponsorship, most of the senators did not want anything to do with that, but there were a handful that did.

She stepped forward.

And if you start going through that, I mean, it's a socialization of everything.

It's not only just completely killing energy policy, but it's a socialization of labor and wages and even more so of college and all of these different government handouts and basic income programs.

So I think that people really need to be doubled down on, A, this is not only an extension of the Biden administration terrible policies, because the same people are pulling the strings, but she's also aligned with every kooky socialist on the planet.

And this isn't a person with a lot of political clout and fortitude that says, no, you know what, I came from this area, ran a business, you know,

I'm strong in this, and I know.

I mean, do you think she has any idea what monetary policy is?

I can't imagine she does.

And that makes her extra, extra dangerous.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate it, Carol.

Thanks for all of the homework that you've done over the weekend to prepare for this segment.

I appreciate it.

Carol Roth, you can follow her at CarolRoth.com slash news,

She's a former investment banker, CarolRoth.com.

Thanks, Carol.

Back in just a minute.

Let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Soon, we may have the most Israel-friendly president we've had in my lifetime back in office, and he will make good on his promises to find a way to help bring the conflict to an end.

Things are still rough over there.

Since the start of the war, we have seen death and destruction in the Holy Land, and it's been going on for years and years and years and years.

And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the ground in Israel for the last 40.

And within hours of the war starting, and every day since, they've been feeding the hungry and protecting the vulnerable.

Remember, God is not on our side.

We have to try to be on his side.

And we are brothers and sisters with his chosen people and we are the spiritual inheritors of that mantle.

What the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is doing is just trying to do the right thing.

Christians like you, like me, support Israel.

You can do it now through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

This is the support that helps these survivors remain steadfast and strong.

So do it now.

Hear the stories of the people that have lived through this.

You can find it all and you can support at supportifcj.org.

That's supportifcj.org.

10 seconds, station ID.

Well, today,

Chasing Embers comes out.

Actually, I think tomorrow it comes out.

And it is

the beginning of something brand new that we haven't seen in our culture before.

It is the parallel economy.

I believe we're in the midst of something new, especially for the conservative movement.

We are building a parallel culture.

People with traditional American values have come to the point where we expect that most movies and books and TV shows are just going to spit in the face of everything everything that we believe in.

Look at Star Wars.

Disney took a cultural icon and turned it into a woke virtual signaling diatribe.

And what do we do?

People still watch it.

They still watch it.

We have to separate and sift the wheat from the chaff.

We can do that as adults, but what about our kids?

As a parent of teenagers, I know it is so hard because you are working all the time to do what you can and then they're reading books that they get from the school.

Which one?

Which one?

And do you let them watch movies and just decide on themselves?

What are you never going to let them read a book?

You have to.

Well, here's a book I invite you to bring into your home.

It's Chasing Embers, and it is for teenagers.

They need stories as good as Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings that speak to the times that they're living in.

And the teenagers in Chasing Embers are living in a world without America, without our history, in fact, without any history.

It's as if everything we're trying so hard to stop from happening has happened, and a new generation is trying to put the pieces back together.

I invite you to grab the first of this new series.

It's like the Michael Vay books.

Your kids can grow up with it.

I know with Michael Vay,

another book that Mercury Inc.

published and partnered

on, that book, Rafe and I read every summer.

A new one would come out every summer, and it was a ritual with us.

And we were just talking about it just the other day.

We miss that ritual.

Well, you can start it now with your kids.

And by the way, if you don't have kids or grandkids, you can join Moms for Liberty's campaign to get chasing embers into public schools in 48 states.

It's mlfoundation.org slash Beck.

If you want to buy it through the Mothers for Liberty, it's m4lfoundation.org slash Beck.

Or you can just grab it now on Amazon for your kids and your grandkids or anybody that you know that has teenagers.

They will really, really enjoy this book.

It's Chasing Embers.

It's out tomorrow.

All right.

Pat Gray is

with me today, filling in this week for Stu Bergier, who is on vacation.

We're just kind of trying to wrap our heads around everything that happened over the weekend.

Something happened.

I can't remember what.

Oh, oh, yeah, that's right.

The president has decided to step down, but not from the office,

just from the race, which

is puzzling.

A little puzzling.

He's not competent enough to run for re-election, but man, he's perfectly fine to be president of the United States for the rest of his term.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

Crazy.

And I don't think that Kamala is going to end up being the nominee.

Could be, could be.

I just don't think we've seen the end of this.

So much could happen.

And, you know, where is Big Mike on this one?

You know, I know Michelle Obama, they say she doesn't want, but I'm going to lay out a scenario with Big Mike next.

Glenn Beck.

You get your podcast.

So

I'm just sitting here having a conversation,

trying to play, you know, trying to play this out in my in my mind,

you know,

because I think that Michelle Obama might be,

you know, you might be able to convince her to run.

And, you know,

I mean, we have Big Mike on the phone now.

Mike?

Big Mike?

Yeah, Glenn.

Hey, how you going over there?

Hey,

I'm pretty good.

is this is Big Mike.

Yes.

Thorn up.

Who were you expecting?

Over there.

Yeah, it's Big Mike.

You know me from my sexy, beautiful arms that everybody talks about over there.

Look at them arms.

Look at them.

Man, are they beautiful?

Yeah.

You want to touch them, don't you?

You want to touch these arms

over there.

No, I don't want to touch them.

I don't want to.

I know.

Don't try to have it.

Over there.

So, big mic, let's just play

this scenario.

They say that

you don't want to run for president.

Glenn, you know that.

Right.

And that's no secret.

I hate the country.

It's racist.

I was never proud of it until Barack Obama became, you know, the nominee over there.

And then I was bursting with pride for a minute, minute and a half, something like that.

Over there.

Right.

And then you went back to hating the country.

We sat there in that big, fat, filthy white house

with, you know, the white supremacist spilling out of it.

And I had to sit there in that place and suffer for eight years.

Over there.

Yeah, you suffered for

eight years.

Eight years over there in that 52,000 square foot dump.

Over there.

Right.

Right.

So so, uh, so you're not interested in going back to the White House?

No, I'm really not.

Glinda doesn't.

All right.

Now,

let me ask you this.

Let me just, let me just see if I can sweeten the deal.

You were the first one that said, as Big Mike, that Barack knows what has to be done.

Right.

Yeah,

that's right.

Right.

Okay.

And so

you were for it.

You were for the changing of our traditions and our history and conversation over there.

Yes, all of it.

Change it all.

All of it.

And Joe's done a pretty good job of finishing that off, come to think of it.

He's been doing a nice thing.

Yeah, but

it's not really finished.

I mean, if Donald Trump got in,

he would reverse a lot of that, do you think?

And I'd hate to see that happen, but I'll tell you something.

I'm busy.

I like the life we have.

You know, we got the Netflix deal, which is over $100 million

over there.

And I kind of like what we're doing right now.

In fact, I like my life better than I hate the country.

So somebody else should finish it off.

I'm busy right now.

Of course, Bob.

What are you doing right now?

Well, right now, I'm playing with my Wang over there.

You know,

I'm sorry, what the Wang 2200, which the first desktop computer with the large CRT

over there.

What did you do?

Because I was told that you were talking about over there.

I didn't, I just, well, of course, the desktop computer, but I was told that you didn't have a WAN.

No, I've had a Wang for a good long time now.

In fact, I was one of the first American women to get a Wang over there.

Pretty proud of that.

Pretty proud.

But I thought you were actually, Mike, I thought you

were D-Wanged.

No,

no,

no, no, no, no,

I don't know where you got that.

No, it's never been any wang.

It's a

damn good computer.

I keep it.

I'm going to keep it.

Okay.

All right.

All right.

Thank you, Big Mike.

I'm out of time now.

I can't talk to you any longer.

All right.

Hold on here.

Wow.

Wow.

Big light.

Right here, you heard it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hmm.

So it doesn't sound like she would be interested.

No, it doesn't sound like it.

I think you might lose the bet.

Except you can't now, right?

Because

Biden can't, he's not not going to, he's not going to be the nominee.

The bet's off.

Well, the bet, I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm, right, I'm not as concerned about the bet as I am the country.

Well, that's good.

That's good.

Right.

Right.

But

the bet was with Stu,

he said that Joe Biden was going to be the nominee, and I said he wasn't going to make it to the nominating process.

He wouldn't make it to the convention, and that Big Mike would take over.

Right.

And I could still see the

scenario happening.

They might be convinced, you think, even after that conversation, because it didn't sound like

they were interested.

She was that.

Yeah, they were interested at all.

No, I mean,

look, Barack's already running the country.

We know that.

Right?

Yeah.

He's making all the decisions.

I think so.

Yeah.

So he's already doing it.

And he's like, honey, all you have to do is just show up, give us peace from time to time.

It's not that hard.

yeah really i mean and you'll be the one that knocks it out

that could happen that could absolutely happen and you know if if she hated the country more than she loved her lifestyle um

might be willing to do it she might be willing to do it but my hope is that she loves her lifestyle too much

Because that leaves, I mean, that leaves her with nobody.

Who do they have?

They've got nobody on that bench.

And

as much as they try to push Kambala forward, they know she's not the one.

And

Gavin Newsom, not the one.

He's got a terrible record in California that would be easily torn to shreds.

I got a name.

I got a name.

All right.

Pete Buttigodge.

Pete Buttigiege.

There you go.

Wow.

Has he done a job with transportation or what?

He has done a job.

He's done a job on it.

Yes.

Yeah.

He has done a job

so you think that wouldn't happen oh man

i mean they have they really don't have anybody no i which is which is why they're you know do it behind the scenes yeah you know just get somebody who can just be elected but you're gonna have a hard this is not an easy transition uh joe biden was sold to the democrats as a moderate yeah Remember?

Yeah, oh, yeah.

He was a moderate.

Oh, yeah.

He wasn't crazy.

He was going to, we were going to go back to normal.

You can't do that with Kamala Harris.

No.

She's radical, but you know, so has he been.

Far more radical than we were led to be.

He's not running it.

Right.

Right.

Because he's not running it.

Yeah.

I guess they could go back.

They could go back to Hillary

in a pinch.

I think she would do it.

Are you out of your mind?

Oh, she would do it.

She could be in the grave and she dig her way out of that hole to get onto yes she would yes she would she would absolutely do it yeah absolutely do it but they i mean she can't beat donald trump no i don't think she could what about

kamala could beat donald trump what i got what about a real dinosaur like al gore al gore could be brought back

it could breathe some life back into him

There's another guy who loves his lifestyle, though, who's become a climate billionaire.

I don't know that he has any interest in it either.

There's just nobody for them to turn to that is a clear-cut, yep, that person could beat Donald Trump.

I don't think they have anybody to do that, thank goodness.

Yes, they do.

They have one.

And that is

big Mike.

Yes.

Okay, they have big Mike.

Yes.

Sincerely, if Barack Obama could convince Michelle Obama to run.

Yes, she could.

And I think there could be a crisis that was created that he could go to his wife and say honey you're the only one you're the only one otherwise we lose it all

and uh and all of the progress we have made in the last 20 years i mean think about that speech i think he could convince her

and that is all true she is the only one that would have a chance i think to beat uh donald trump i mean all the polls for whatever reason people still seem to like her and approve of of her.

And I don't understand it because,

like she said on the phone, she hates America.

She's proven that over and over and over again.

I'm getting some word now that that may not have been Michelle Obama.

What?

Oh, no.

We were duped.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, we may have been duped.

And we so deeply apologize for anybody that was duped by that.

Wow, what a mistake we've made.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Boy, I tell you, America is so divided.

Imagine this happening if it was Air Force One.

Now, I could imagine this happening if it was Air Force One at many times in our history.

But if Joe Biden were taking off, what would they say if the air traffic controller did what the air traffic controller did

as they were, as Trump Force One was

departing?

Listen to this air traffic controller.

7-Alpha Fox.

The Lord bless you and keep you.

The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.

Trump Force 1, contact departure.

Trump Force 1 for departure, thank you for that, sir.

Actually, blessing the plane as

it is taking off.

Yeah, wow.

Yeah, really nice.

So

we're looking at a few things here that

I mean,

how do you square it?

If you're a Democrat, how do you square that

your media,

everybody in the White House, Kamala, the president, his wife, everybody have been lying to you about his condition?

And then Kamala is going to be the one who replaces the president, at least on the ticket.

And let's just remember what what she has said in the last month or so.

Here's cut one.

I think that if there is any question about the President Joe Biden's ability to do the job and do it well and do it with vigor and passion, last night dispelled any of that in terms of any notion of that.

You know, I asked with all due respect, but you know, would you, are you capable?

Are you ready to step into the role and do whatever the country benefits?

Absolutely ready.

But thank God our president is in good shape, in good health, and is ready to lead in our second term.

So the way that the president's demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts

and clearly politically motivated.

Gratuitous.

I spend a lot of time with Joe Biden, be it in the Oval Office or the Situation Room.

This whole issue that they are raising about his age is again, because they've got nothing to run on because Joe Biden is very much alive and running for re-election that we have a very bold and vibrant president in Joe Biden

bold vibrant

running circles around 20 year old interns in the in the White House he's just so sharp well they're not 20 they're 12 they're 12 and it's the smell of their hair gee their hair smells delicious

the

how do you swear that, though, that she's going to be the candidate that the elites now want you to vote for

when she was part of the cover-up?

I mean, how do you trust anybody?

Yeah, you can't.

You can't.

But Democrats do for some reason.

I know.

I know.

The truth means nothing, apparently, in the Democrat Party.

Just doesn't mean a thing.

And they've all been lying about it for and not just for the last six months, but for the last four years, because we documented, you know, extensively during the campaign that the guy wasn't all there even then.

I mean, it's gotten much worse since, but he was bad enough during the campaign that you could tell a discernible interest or difference from the Joe Biden when he was vice president to Joe Biden running for president in 2020.

He was bad then, and they've been lying the whole time.

So I don't know how anybody can do it.

Well, the good news is we have somebody who knows who they are, at least.

Here's Kamala introducing herself.

Cut two.

Good afternoon.

I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time.

I am Kamala Harris.

My pronouns are she and her.

I'm a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.

Blue suit.

Wow.

That's really good.

So she's just, I mean, cognitively, she's all there.

She knows what color suit she was wearing.

Yeah.

She knows where at the table she is sitting.

She apparently knew her pronouns.

And knew that she was a woman without being a biologist.

So

that's impressive.

So we are, I mean, we might be getting a biologist and a president.

We don't know.

We don't know.

All right, we're going to talk a little bit about the Secret Service when when we come back.

Something is not right.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

Well, there's a lot to talk about today.

President Biden, he's competent enough to be president, but not competent enough to run a campaign.

Kamala Harris, will she actually be it?

What comes next?

But I want to focus a little time today, at least, on the

Secret Service, because I don't think we can just forget about that attempted assassination.

Something's very, very wrong.

I tend to think, from the conspiracy theorists that I've seen and read, I tend to think they're generally wrong, but

something

is not right.

And I don't know what it is yet.

We're going to tell you all about it coming up in just a second with Steve Baker first.

Let me tell you about the Burna launcher.

Making a decision to shoot isn't something to be taken lightly, but it's also a decision that you don't usually get the opportunity to hesitate on.

The guy threatening your family isn't going to wait around while you have that internal debate over whether you're prepared to go through with it or not.

In most cases, you have to make that decision right now.

Would it be great if you had an extra option at your hands?

This is why you have a Burna launcher.

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

It's legal in all 50 states if you're under, if you're over 18, and you can pack it in your checked luggage without the need to declare it as a firearm.

Burna, it's a launcher that has powerful deterrence like tear gas and kinetic rounds in a 60-foot range, and one shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

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

All right.

Let's have a chat.

First of all, let me say hello to my best friend, Pat Gray, who is sitting in for Stubic Gear.

Hello.

Hello.

Hi.

That was thrilling to say hi to you.

And also,

Steve Baker joins us.

Steve Baker is, of course, a menace to society, a dangerous man that should not be on the streets.

Somehow or another, he is still on the streets.

And if you have a bad problem with parading

in your town,

God help you if Steve ever comes to town.

Steve, how are you, sir?

Hey, Glenn, I'm good.

Thanks.

Steve is the investigative journalist and Blaze Media correspondent.

Have you been looking into the Secret Service

problem?

I don't know what the problem is, but there's something there.

Glenn, in the last 10 days, I feel like I've been drinking from a fire hose on this.

I was actually in D.C.

I was pulling out of actually Fairfax County, just across the river there,

at exactly the moment that the assassination attempt happened.

I regret wholly that I did not turn my car around because I was headed back home to Raleigh at the time.

I regret that I did not immediately drive to Butler County in Pennsylvania.

I don't know how far it is, four or five hours, whatever it was from where I was located at the time, because we had an avalanche of really good on-the-ground intel that was coming in for the first 12 or 16 hours after the shot, shots were fired.

But then, then came the gag order from Maorcas all the way down the chain.

And they not only instructed their on-the-ground Secret Service agents who were there that day, no more, zip it up, don't say a word.

Literally the words were, if you want to keep your job, you're going to shut up.

You can't talk to your wife.

You can't talk to another Secret Service officer or agent, even outside of the investigation itself.

And so

that came down.

It came down hard.

They also ordered all of the local police departments to follow the same gag order.

They ordered Pennsylvania State Police, the local Sheriff's Department, et cetera, et cetera.

So they put them all under the same gag order.

They weren't exactly 100% successful with some of the other agencies because we are still getting some information out.

But that's what

that's what I've been living now for the last nine, ten days.

Okay.

Well, there's nothing that gives people more confidence than gag orders.

Yeah.

Let me ask you a couple of things and see if you've looked into them yet.

The things that are disturbing beyond the 3% slope of that roof, which is so highly dangerous,

is the shooter on the water tower.

Have you looked into that?

Yeah, look.

Is that true?

I have watched now.

In fact, I was driving here to Dallas yesterday.

And so during that drive, I was able to pull up on YouTube all of these conspiracy theorist videos about the multiple shooters.

So now we're two, three, even four shooters is what they're claiming.

And now the conspiracy theorists are now fighting amongst themselves about how many and where the shots came from and that sort of thing.

But look, I'm going to tell you, this is the first time that we've revealed this publicly.

We did write an article.

Our first article was about the 448-yard shot that came from the Secret Service sniper, our countersniper that took out

the kid Crooks.

Which was far

more distant than they originally said, right?

Because it was supposedly from the 130 yards approximately

that everybody showed the two counter snipers on.

Yeah, we published that story.

Like three times that.

Yeah, we published that story last Tuesday, and then Trump in his speech Thursday night said,

he said, and then

the Secret Service sniper took him out from a much, much further distance than we had first learned.

Right.

So we were kind of like, okay, yeah, thanks for the confirmation, Mr.

President.

But the bottom line is, is that we've been able to, through our sources on the ground, we've been able to confirm that we know that the kid got off something on the order of eight shots.

They say six to eight.

We actually even have one local cop who is telling us that there were 10 casings possibly found there on the top of that roof.

That's still nebulous.

So we're sticking with the six to ten line right now.

But no, there's no evidence whatsoever that a shot came from the water tower.

There is some evidence, though, that the counter snipers got off as many as three shots.

So we know that one missed for sure.

We know that the guys that were behind them up

behind the stage, behind Trump, those countersniper teams, we know that they did not make the connection.

We know that one of those definitely missed.

And then we also know because, as I said, we haven't revealed this yet, I actually had in my hands the telemetry from the countersnipers scope within an hour after the shooter was taken out.

Wow.

Now, I've not been allowed to publish that, and there's reasons for that because

there are good guys that were on the ground that were trying to help them keep their jobs.

Mm-hmm.

So that's the bottom line there.

So does it tell us anything?

It tells us it was a 448-yard shot, tells us what the wind speed was, tells us how many clicks they made to compensate for distance and bullet drop, you know, that sort of thing.

But you can't say exactly where because that would

reveal somebody took the shot.

So, Steve,

what about the idea that they had seen him up to an hour before?

They knew before something was wrong, saw him, you know,

taking measurements

before

Trump even got on stage.

Nobody in Secret Service alerted the president or even thought about not going through with everything.

What about that?

Is that true?

It's even worse than that, Glenn.

We know that the counter snipers had Crooks in their sight at least two minutes, maybe even as much as 10 minutes ahead of time.

We know that they had them in their sights, but we know that they did not take him out and pull the trigger because, and this is where it gets fun, and I'm watching Cheetah up here on television doing her, you know, testimony before Congress right now.

And

this is where the cover-up begins, and this is where the lies begin, is because we know conclusively that the counter-sniper teams were trying to, quote-unquote, deconflict.

Now, what that means is, is that we are told that there was supposed to be a counter-sniper team on top of the very roof which Crooks fired his shot at.

President Trump.

So did they think that was a countersniper?

They did know, and that was the problem.

They had a briefing.

Now, they did not have,

they didn't do their whole normal routine.

They weren't there days in advance citing the countersniper sniper teams have a typical you know uh um sop standard operating procedure none of that was done that day we know that we know that they did get a briefing and they were told where the other counter snipers would be so they didn't shoot each other right so so they were told and they were told there would be a team on that roof so suddenly they see somebody with a gun in the prone position now If they got him, if they got a good scope, they knew he had long hair.

They knew he had a gray t-shirt.

They knew he had on camo shorts.

They knew he

wasn't wasn't dressed like a counter sniper, right?

From a professional police organization.

But they were told, and also these sniper teams are always in pairs.

So they couldn't see his spotter.

So they're looking for his spotter.

Was he on the other side of that little slightly sloped roof?

Is the spotter behind a tree?

They couldn't find the spotter.

So they were, quote unquote, deconflicting.

And this is where it gets bad: is that the policing agencies and the Secret Service were not on the same radio comms.

We know that the

local county team had their own comm center.

We know that Secret Service had their own comm center set up.

But we also had shooters or counter snipers from Pennsylvania State Police.

They weren't on the same comms.

So the big failure there is when you're not on the same comms, you have another guy, you have a representative in each one of the command centers who's basically you cross-pollinate with the agency so that they can talk to each other.

So you got a handheld, we're hearing this, can you radio your guys?

So these guys, these snipers that had him sighted are calling this in.

They can't hear.

Gets even worse.

If this chatter is going on, the three guys that need to be hearing this are Trump's close detail guys on the stage with him.

Those three, the big, you know, professional-looking Secret Service guys that piled on top of him, they needed to be hearing that.

They weren't hearing it, which is why they did not intervene and pull him off the stage in advance of that attack.

Wow.

Incredible.

So

can you

align what we do know with

just gross incompetence?

I mean, incompetence at

a biblical scale.

Yeah.

You know?

It's time tens.

Can you square this?

I can't yet, Glenn.

I can't square it because

when I look at these things, you must always go to government incompetence first.

All right.

You have to go there.

And then you talk about the largest government in the world.

It's going to be the most incompetent government in the world.

And these agencies are getting more and more incompetent because we know

we've had discussions for the last week about the DEI hires, and it was very obviously present there in those individuals protecting Trump that day.

And we're looking at it on television right now, the DEI hire being

grilled by Congress right now.

But the point being is

that we go to incompetence incompetence first,

but I've never ever seen this level of incompetence from the beginning to the end to

in every single level.

And now they are in full CYA cover-up mode.

Now, are they covering up the grand conspiracy or are they covering up the gross incompetence?

I don't know, but that's what they're doing because there is absolutely no reason whatsoever why the FBI cannot be doing a press conference every day and saying this is what we've found so far.

This is what we've learned to take away some of these conspiracies.

This is how many shell casings were on the roof.

These are not classified top-secret things.

These are not hidden, classified investigative techniques.

This is old, old-world gumshoe work that they're doing right now, and there's no reason they cannot be telling us what they're finding.

Have you heard that

somebody was wearing a gray suit, went up, took photographs of the scene, came down, and they thought it was FBI or Secret Service, and he said, send this to the ATF.

Yeah.

And that the ATF is somehow involved in that.

Yeah, I've not been able to identify that yet, but having multiple agents on the ground or multiple representatives from multiple three-letter agencies is not uncommon, particularly in this time of year.

Every four years, the Secret Service is spread very thin.

I mean, let's be honest.

We have two conventions.

They're up there providing the advance protection, security, sweeping, all of those things that were going on, are supposed to be going on, both in Milwaukee and in Chicago.

And then you have multiple candidates, so they're spread out.

And then, of course, you know, Jill Biden was just there 30 miles away in Pittsburgh that day.

So they're spread thin.

So when they are, they call in tactical groups and representatives and security people from other three-letter agencies to help supplement.

So it's not uncommon that they were there, but they certainly shouldn't be taking the lead on this, not by any means.

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: And what about the slope of the roof, Steve, and them deciding that it was too dangerous for an agent to be up there?

If that's the case, if you really are afraid somebody's going to roll off the roof with a 3% grade slope, don't you?

You're a kindergarten teacher.

Yeah.

And you position somebody at the ladder, right?

I mean, just to make sure nobody gets up there.

How is that possible?

Well, first of all, the roof should have not been accessible at all.

This is the first failure.

The first failure is that the advanced teams that come in, they do what they call they wedge wedge all the access points.

So in other words,

if it's a rally downtown, they weld all the manhole covers.

They actually put plywood on unmovable ladders.

They cover them up with plywood so that nobody can climb up a ladder.

If they're a removable ladder, they get removed.

All of these things that were supposed to have been done that day have not been done.

Now,

and of course, look.

Again, I say, why don't we know on a daily basis?

They don't have to go into the failures right now, but the FBI, having taken over this investigation, needs to be telling us exactly every single day, this is what happened.

This is what the shooter did.

This is where he was.

This is where he went.

If you don't think they don't know every step he took, you're crazy.

They have geofencing on his cell phone.

They know every step he took that day.

And there were what they call masked cameras there.

We don't have confirmation yet that there were drones or that there were helicopter cameras, but we do have overhead shots of the kid coming from somewhere, from somebody's camera, and it wasn't somebody with their cell phone 3,000 feet in the air.

Thank you so much for everything that you do, Steve.

How is your case coming?

They set a trial date for me in November, November 12th.

I don't think that that'll happen then.

We just recently appealed just last week to the D.C.

Circuit Court about their stripping my rights to protect myself away from me.

So we are appealing to a higher court so that I can, you know,

go about the country saying.

Let me know.

If you don't get that, I'll get you a Bernal Launcher.

Thank you.

You should at least be able to protect yourself with that.

Yeah.

Steve, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

Steve Baker, investigative journalist and Blaze Media correspondent.

You bet.

Let me tell you about Diana, who lives in California.

I won't hold that against her.

I suggest you don't either.

Anyway, Diane writes in that she has a pretty major problem with Rough Greens.

She said, I can't keep up with my crazy dog now.

I'm so happy to see what rough greens has done for old blue, but I can't keep up.

Yes, one of the side effects of giving your dog rough greens might include having to chase the dog around the house sometimes or playing ball with him because sometimes all of a sudden he has so much more energy than you're used to.

Rough greens is not a dog food.

It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr.

Dennis Black that you sprinkle on your dog's food.

Remember, brown food is dead food.

Everything's been cooked out of it.

You want the green stuff.

You name it, if it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in Rough Greens.

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

They have a special deal for you.

All right.

10 seconds, station ID.

You know, the other thing that bothers me about this is they say that Donald Trump, you know, asked for more security and they just couldn't give it.

And his team was really worn out.

Like, it's his fault.

You know,

you've got to keep up with the candidate.

You've got to keep up with, and I feel bad for these because I believe there are really good Secret Service agents, just like I do believe that there are really good FBI agents out there.

not the leadership um but you know you you can't drag this team out uh and and keep them on seven days a week 24 hours a day you know

trump's team he should have at least three of them at least three of them uh probably as many as six so they could leapfrog each other you can't just keep running a team ragged like that just can't uh and i don't understand a country you know that is $35 trillion in debt saying, well, we just couldn't get them.

We couldn't hire them.

What?

Doesn't make any sense.

Pinching pennies on somebody's life?

That's the wrong place to do it.

So they've done that to Trump, and it nearly cost him.

And they've done it to RFK Jr.

until last week he was denied Secret Service protection at all.

Can I make a case against the conspiracy theorist?

Do you remember the Secret Service agent that was in charge of

Kamala's team?

How Kamala, she went out and she was like screaming.

Oh, she just went insane.

She was screaming some DEI stuff and they had to let her go.

Yeah.

You remember that?

Yeah.

I mean, that was not very long ago.

This has become not very long ago.

This is, and I've been saying this since 2009.

And,

you know, if the Secret Service, no, if a congressman would like to call me to testify, I would testify

about what I have seen myself.

But

I have seen things of Secret Service because we play in their same pool many times that is just shocking and is why I have been saying the president is in trouble.

Under Barack Obama, the president was in trouble.

I said it under Donald Trump, and I say it now with Joe Biden.

The president and anyone being protected by the Secret Service is in danger.

And I mean,

trust me, I know, I know, and it needs to be fixed.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Tomorrow, the new book comes out, Chasing Embers.

I urge you to pick it up and share it with a friend or family.

Share it with a teenager or 20-something.

I think it's appropriate for

a reading child, really.

My granddaughter, 10 years old, she would love it.

So if they're reading,

the earlier the better.

But it's chasing embers, and it is a dystopian future where they have to decide, does the truth really matter?

And what are you willing to,

what kind of cost is the truth worth?

That's Chasing Embers.

It is out tomorrow.

Get it wherever you get your books.

On sale tomorrow.

So let's see.

I was kind of disappointed.

I had a stent put in me.

Have you ever had a stent put into your kidney before, Pat?

I have.

I had multiple, multiple stents at a time.

Multiple stents.

Yeah, I had two.

Last time, you know, when I went the last time, which was like a year and a half ago,

they did both kidneys.

And

man, was that painful?

It burns.

I'm trying to think of,

yeah.

And it, I mean, it feels like somebody's stabbing you in the kidneys all the time.

Yeah, it does.

And that is really kind of an uncomfortable thing.

I was at the hospital last week as they were removing four of them.

And

the nurses all said, yeah, we've had children and we've had kidney stones and we'd all rather have children.

And

I'm like, yeah, well, at least you get something soft and cuddly at the end.

You know, yeah.

Yeah.

But I was in so much pain and they came in and, you know, I'm not making clear decisions.

Clearly, I'm in pain and you just want the pain to stop.

And

the world kind of stopped a little bit when they said, we're going to have to have surgery.

And I'm like, okay, so you cut me open.

and they're like no

no

don't need to do that to my kidneys yeah good question uh

and then they tell me how they're gonna get to my kidneys and i'm like

no

nope there's not enough drugs uh for me to be okay with that even at this point uh you know i know i was screaming get get get these out of me you know uh but uh not so much anymore i was joking i was joking i love these nothing that's a very small hole And it's a one-way street, really.

Nothing should go in.

No.

Nothing should, things can come out, but nothing should go in.

And

so they did.

And they, you know,

I know they told me, but I really didn't, because they said, first we're going to go in with a camera.

And I'm like,

no.

No.

Then they said they would, after that, they would go in with like a little, like a little grabber thing, a steel grabber that they would they could open up and they could grab those stones and then yank them out and I'm like no no no I prefer the camera to that

and then they said and then and then if that doesn't work we'll have to use a laser so I'm like okay so now it's Star Wars in my kidney they're like yeah we'll break it up with a we'll break it up with a laser into little teeny pieces

and then we'll then we'll put the little cage thing back in and see if we can grab all the pieces.

I'm like, this is like, this is like now you're thinking that, you know, this is a seven lane highway.

And it's not.

It's one way, one lane, you know?

And then I know they told me that they were going to put the stent in, possibly, but I think I just dismissed it because it was a possibility and everything else sounded so horrifying.

But I know they didn't tell me how they were going to take the stent out.

They still haven't.

I've had to figure this one out on my own.

Yeah.

You know, no,

no, can't you get one that just biodegrades in me after a few weeks?

I think I asked them that too.

No, no, they can't.

Yeah, no.

And they take it out without any sort of

medication.

That's not right.

They just pull it right out, and it's not fun.

Yeah.

So, yeah.

I just keep reading online people going,

I just remember the string.

That's all.

That's the worst part of it.

And I'm like,

did you black out after they started pulling it?

I mean,

that just does not seem good.

And it's not.

And it's not good.

So just know that.

How long does it take?

How long does it take?

Fast.

A few seconds.

And it's over.

So

it's not a pleasant few seconds.

It just feels.

I had a

little weird.

A little weird is how it was described to me.

It'll just feel a little weird for a minute, and then it's all over.

I had a doctor

come in because he had to do a quick thing to check my lungs and he brings in this big, huge nurse, monster of a guy.

And he said, listen,

we're going to go down your throat with a camera and we're going to go into your lungs.

And I said,

that doesn't sound good.

And he said, no, he said, everything in your body will reverse.

He said, for an object in your lungs, your body doesn't like it.

And I said, yeah, that's a good thing.

And maybe you shouldn't stick the camera in there.

And he said, listen, I just want you to

look him in the eye.

He's going to hold your face.

You got to be perfectly still.

And he's just going to count to, I think it was 10 or 30.

It might have been like six hours, but it was a very short period of time.

And you just, when he gets to 30, I'm done.

So just count with him.

Just listen to him and look him right in the eye.

And he's kind of, oh my gosh, Pat, that 30 seconds was the longest 30 seconds of my life.

Ooh, I can imagine.

I've never had that.

So they jammed it down your throat, into your lungs?

Into your lungs.

You take a deep breath as they're going down your throat.

No, thanks.

And it goes into your lungs.

Oh, wow.

Oh, man.

The best way to describe it is everything in your body reverses.

It does everything it can to get that out of your lung.

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

It doesn't sound so crazy.

And all I can think of is how bad all of this is.

Can you imagine before modern technology, what did they even do?

You died.

I think pretty much you just

probably would have to.

I mean, I think, because I was, you know, I was at home before it got really, really bad.

And I'm thinking to myself, if I were living in, you know, 200 years ago, I think I'd just kill myself.

I think, you know, well, you got kidney stones.

You're just going to have to live through it.

No.

No.

Yeah.

No, I don't think so.

It's like,

did you watch Franklin with

his gout situation?

I mean,

Franklin with what's his name?

Michael Douglas.

Did you like it?

I stopped watching it because I just thought,

I watched the first two and I thought, okay, well, they haven't made him into a hemaphrodite yet.

No.

But I'm sure they will.

You know,

they'll sex change Ben Franklin by the end.

I mean, he showed a little bit of the, yeah, he's kind of a womanizer, but they didn't really get deeply into it.

Toward the end, if I remember correctly, yes, he was with a woman, but mostly, mostly it was a decent presentation of him.

Portrayal of him.

Yeah.

But

the gout situation in the late 1700s would not be a pleasant one either because, you know, if you did, unless you had opium, I guess, and were out of your head, most I don't even know what gout is I I always thought gout was something like arthritis

you didn't really get anymore yeah no people

people still get it it's like an arthritis inflammation in your usually it's in the big toe or some other like your elbow or you can get out gout probably just about anywhere but uh he had it in his feet in his in his big toe really bad And that's a pain like kidney stones.

And

back then, I mean, you just want to cut your foot off.

It'd be like, okay, just take it.

Just take my foot completely off.

And I don't want to worry about it anymore.

I don't know how they did it.

I really don't.

And then to...

I mean, honestly, think of a world just where aspirin would be a miracle.

Oh, my gosh.

You'd be like, nah.

No.

No.

How did these people do it?

How did our, like our grandparents, how did they last with their backs?

My grandfather was working all the time.

How did they do that?

I don't know.

I don't know.

They just, they grinned and

bore it.

And

I guess, you know, every once in a while they had either opium or, you know, maybe if it was the 50s, they had aspirin.

But, you know, a really long time ago, they had nothing.

They had virtually nothing.

Nothing.

No, I watched these.

Did you see Kevin Costner's Horizon?

No, I haven't seen that yet.

The movie.

Oh, you got to.

It's on Netflix or one of those right now, Amazon, maybe.

But it's really, really, really good.

But I'm seeing them, you know, they're trying to cure people.

Hey, we got to take your arm off.

Have a glass of whiskey.

And you're like, what?

What?

Yeah, let him drink until he passes out, then we'll take his leg off.

And you're like, I think I wake up that surgery.

I don't think I pass out from too many drinks and then not wake up as you're sawing my leg off.

No, thank you.

No, that doesn't sound right.

That does not sound right.

I actually heard that that was, that didn't do well, right?

They've canceled it.

Taking your leg off?

Well, that and Horizon, where they take people's legs off.

Oh, yeah.

They've canceled the theater showing of the

second one already.

It's a shame.

It's a shame because it is really good.

You'd love it, Pat.

It is the first time I've ever seen

a Western take on the American Indians properly.

Oh, really?

Some tribes, yes, some tribes were great

and got along and we misused them or we got along with them.

you know, one of the two.

Other tribes were bloodthirsty killers and not because of us, because that's the way they always were.

And it's the first time I've seen the Native Americans treated

properly in a movie.

And I mean, it's a fantastic story.

I just loved it.

I loved it.

But that was probably the kiss of death, me loving it.

Yeah.

Anyway, yeah.

All right, let me take a quick break and tell you about realestate agents I trust.com.

That great

We were talking about the Secret Service earlier with Steve Baker, who you can hear on my show on Friday.

We're going to go into great detail and in depth

and do a deep dive with Steve Baker Friday on the Pac-Ray Unleashed program.

But Donald Trump told Jesse Waters from Fox that the Secret Service didn't even warn him.

Here's what he had to say about that.

Mistakes were made.

They were monitoring this guy for an hour beforehand.

No one told you not to take the stage.

No, nobody mentioned it.

Nobody said there was a problem.

And I would have waited for 15.

They could have said, let's wait for 15 minutes, 20 minutes, five minutes, something.

Nobody said, I think that was a mistake.

How did somebody get on that roof?

And why wasn't he reported?

Because people saw that he was on the roof.

I mean, you had

Trumpers screaming.

The woman

in the red shirt,

she was screaming, there's a man on the roof.

And then other people said, there's a man on the roof who's got a gun.

And that was quite a bit before I walked onto the stage.

So you would have thought somebody would have done something about it.

Yeah, yeah, you would have.

You would have thought that.

But you would have thought wrong if you did think that.

It's incredible.

It doesn't make any sense.

They knew about this guy.

They saw him walking around with the laser finder

about an hour before the event, and then they saw him walking around with the rifle as well, well before the event.

So now he has,

he also called for an investigation during this interview into Joe Biden's doctors because obviously they've been lying to us the whole time.

You'd investigate the people that hid Joe Biden's condition?

Well, I think somebody has to look at it.

Look, you had people that lied to the American public, and I'll tell you what, you ought to take a look at his doctors because his doctors keep giving him this wonderful report.

I'm not a doctor, but I saw him the other day, was unable to get up the children's stairs going into Air Force Ones.

Is it a coup against Joe Biden?

Sort of, yeah.

I think it is.

I mean, look, there's a constitutional process, the 25th Amendment.

If Joe Biden can't run for president, he can't serve as president.

And if they want to take him down because he's mentally incapable of serving, invoke the 25th Amendment.

You don't get to sort of do this in the most politically beneficial way for Democrats.

If it's an actual problem, they should take care of it the appropriate way.

Yeah, which, of course, they're not going to.

But that's a great point.

And I'm glad that the Trump Vance team is talking about the fact that if he can't run for president, he can't be president and serve out the rest of his term.

It's good to see that somebody has brought that up.

But Joe Biden's brother has said that health played a role in his decision.

Wait, what?

Just had a brief

Left.

He is a genuine hero.

We asked him whether he feels that his brother's overall health and vitality played a major role in this decision.

And he says, in my humble opinion, absolutely.

So a member of the president's family now confirming that the president's health was indeed a major factor in the presentation.

In what way?

What's wrong?

We haven't seen anything to indicate that he's not fully healthy, have we?

Huh.

All right.

We'll hear more of this and more people trying to cover their own butts in the days to come.
