It's a new day I've turned around.
We gotta
What you're about to hear
is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Back Program.
With Patton Stewart for Glenn today,
we've got an update on Rashida Tlaib, who's terrific.
Do you realize that?
Is that the update that she's terrific?
That's part of the update.
I think there's more to it, as you'll point out here in a minute.
But apparently, she's the only Palestinian in all of Congress.
Wow.
Are you aware of that?
I am.
I'm going to get her some company.
Where are more representatives from Hamas?
We should be electing them.
You know what I mean?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, we'll talk about that and so much more coming up in 60 seconds.
So, how often are you getting out to the gun range to practice your shooting?
Is it once a week?
Is it once a month?
Is it once
every other decade?
If you're like me, you enjoy target practice, but you wince every time you think about how much money you're having to spend on ammunition.
And you'd love it if there were a way to practice without having to drop a ton of cash every single time.
Well, there is a way to do this, and it is called the Mantis X.
It's a high-tech, easy-to-use system used widely by the military and helps you improve your shooting quickly.
If you could just attach it to your firearm and connect it with an app on your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, then whether you're firing actual rounds or even dry firing and practicing, it will give you instant feedback on what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, how to correct your technique.
94% of shooters improve within 20 minutes using Mantis X.
It's like having a firearms instructor right in your front pocket.
And just as importantly, it's going to save you a lot of money.
Start improving today.

It's mantisx.com.
All right.
I know we've been waiting all week for a Rashida Tlaib update.
Well, you know, it is an update, Pat.
And it's important to understand
this sort of stuff can happen to anybody.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
You know, it just, it's, we all have things that, you know, someone can be critical of.
And this is the situation that Rashida Tlaib finds herself in.
Now, you may know Rashida as someone who seems to be pretty pro-Hamas.
Yeah.
She's chanting from the river to the sea all the time.
And we have an update on that as well today, that phrase.
The New York Times investigated it.
I want to make sure you know.
It's not as people are.
A lot of people are saying it means something bad for Jews.
A lot of people are saying it does.
Have you noticed that?
Have you heard?
I've noticed that.
I've heard people saying that's bad for Jews in some way.
And we can get to the bottom of that later on.
Okay, good.
It's fun.
But the Independent Canary Mission released a report after its investigation into Representative Rashida Tlaib.
Canary Mission primarily investigates anti-Semitism on college campuses in the U.S.
and North America, but they decided to look at Rashida Tlaib and they found some,
what I would find to be, what some would find to be interesting things.
I don't know.
Maybe they're overblown here, Pat.
Maybe you can help.
Okay.
I'm sure I can.
Okay, this is good.
Canary Mission can confirm that Rashida Tlaib has extensive fundraising ties to Hamas supporters.
Huh.
She has employed no less than three Hamas-linked activists to fundraise for her 2018 election campaign, one of whom spent eight months in prison for his alleged connections to Hamas.
Now,
look,
everybody's got someone on their staff that has a connection to Hamas and has been in prison for eight months.
Who doesn't?
That would be the easier question to answer.
Yes.
Right?
Because
if you're going to hire a staff of more than three or four, you're going to get a Hamas supporter in there.
Obviously.
And if you're staffing.
Hamas.
there's some terrorist group tie in almost everybody's staff.
Yeah, and if you're if your staff gets to 10 or 12, you'll probably have someone who's been in prison for at least eight months for their ties to Hamas.
That's just something that's very common whenever you're hiring.
Yeah, you know, a lot of times, if you're on one of the hiring services online, you have to make sure you don't check that Hamas box.
A lot of people don't realize if you check the Hamas box, you're much more likely to get a Hamas-linked employee.
Okay.
And you want to try to avoid that when possible.
The three fundraisers were named Salah Sarsour, Rafiq Jaber,
and
another name.
There's the third name that I'm not even going to attempt to
pronounce.
Sarsour, who.
Is it like Bob Smith?
Oh, you knew it.
It is Bob Smith.
Bob Jones.
So it's Salah Sarsour, Rafique Jaber, and Bob Smith.
Bob Smith.
Those are the three.
I love Bob.
I really do.
I think he's a great guy.
He's a good guy.
He's a good guy.
Hamas ties her null.
He's just a good guy.
Yeah, and his ties to Hamas are more like they plan parties together.
Yeah, right.
If I remember correctly.
Yes, yeah.
Really nice people.
Sarsour
was jailed for being connected with Hamas in 1995 and co-hosted an event with Talib in 2018.
And, you know, to be fair to Rashida Talib, because I think a lot of people are going after her over this stuff.
To be fair, she only had the 23 years to find out about his ties to Hamas and his prison time.
Oh, okay.
Because, you know, if it happened in 1984, you'd say, okay, that's plenty of time to realize that the person that you're hosting an event with is related to Hamas so closely that they went to prison for eight months for it.
But when you...
29 years
is almost adequate.
Yeah.
I would say.
What do you think?
What's fair?
50 years?
A half century, you should probably find out about that stuff.
And, you know, if it's only 23 years, what can you do?
You shrug your shoulders, you move on with your life.
Like in the blink of an eye.
Yeah.
You know,
things go so fast these days, Pat.
They really do.
The moments go by so fast, and we miss those impressions.
And then pretty soon you haven't investigated somebody for like Bob Smith for Hamas ties.
And the thing is,
I mean, I don't know the exact number.
I'm just going to take a wild guess, but my belief is about 97% of all Americans have gone to prison for ties with Hamas.
I don't know if that's exactly right, but like your chances of getting someone who hasn't gone to jail for their ties to Hamas is so hard.
Yeah, it's true.
And it's so hard to look through every single person.
How can you?
Yeah.
You know, it's unreasonable to even ask any people.
Now, our friend Jabear,
not the bear, but Jaber
has also apparently admitted to helping distribute Hamas propaganda in the United States.
Now,
I mean, come on, cast the first stone here.
Thank you.
Who hasn't distributed?
I mean, everybody in the media
would not be able to be hired if we talked about distributing Hamas propaganda in the U.S.
You'd wipe out the all every employee of CNN would not be able to be hired by Rashida Tlaib.
That's unfair.
In 2003, he did testify that he directed two Hamas front groups to promote the Holy Land Foundation.
Jeez.
Now, the Holy Land Foundation was the subject of a terrorist trial in which it was a fake Muslim charity that that people were donating to the Holy Land Foundation and they were redirecting all the money to international terrorist efforts.
But, you know.
And that was, I think that was right here, right?
That was in Dallas.
A lot of that took place.
I think you're right.
I think you're right.
And that goes back a ways.
But again,
he and people might say, well, what did he,
did he always want to promote Hamas propaganda in this way?
Do you always want to promote the Holy Land Foundation?
Well, he just said, in every way that we can.
That's a reasonable effort.
He didn't want to promote it in ways he couldn't.
He didn't want to be ridiculous about it.
Like, you know, you ever get one of those people who started like a
multi-level marketing company.
They're selling you some sort of berry or something.
They're always coming over your house trying to pitch you this new berry drink that's going to save your life.
It can get over the top.
He didn't do that.
No.
He just said, in every way that he can, which I think is, I don't think he went so far to like pitch you Tupperware or anything like that associated with the Holy Land.
He's not trying to plant flags on Mars, for instance.
Yes.
Because that would be very, very difficult.
difficult and almost impossible.
He's not an astronaut.
Right.
So he didn't promote it that way.
He did not.
And that would be a really good way to promote it because how many organizations have a flag on Mars?
He'd be the only one.
Not that many.
And that would be
exclusive rights.
Right.
Now, so this happens.
But he didn't do that again.
And he did.
Well, he did admit.
to distributing pro-martyrdom materials that celebrated the killing of Jews.
And, you know, why wouldn't you, though?
When you get the, I don't know, anywhere from two to 72 virgins, if you, if you become a martyr.
Yeah.
You know what?
You almost need it.
You don't even need to distribute the materials.
It sells itself.
It does.
Frankly, it does.
It's a great program.
It does.
But you know, and like, yes, it may seem a bit untoward to celebrate the killing of Jews.
However, we've seen how popular it is recently.
It seems to be the, I mean, if you want to be popular on campus, what else are you going to do?
You know, maybe you work out.
That's one way to go about it.
Maybe you try to develop your personality to be the fun guy at the party.
And then, of course, encouraging the killing of Jews.
That's the third one
in the pyramid of success for college social life.
Okay.
Killing Jews, working out, and becoming the fun party guy.
Those three things go hand in hand.
I mean, you can just rattle them off right away because everyone knows they go together.
Now, the third person who we've been calling Bob Smith, which is really unfortunate if your name happens to be Bob Smith, we apologize for that.
But he was the final of the three fundraisers for Rashida Talib, by the way.
He has worked for multiple Hamas-linked organizations in the United States, all of which are now defunct.
Now,
I think it's unfortunate that they would point out that it's defunct.
You know, sometimes businesses don't work out.
You start a small business, maybe it doesn't go the way that you want to go.
You're trying to encourage support for a good cause.
Maybe you don't get the dollars that you think you need.
And in this particular case,
they all got thrown out because of their ties to Hamas.
They apparently were getting plenty of money.
He was worked as a representative for the group.
And this is,
look, when you think of Hamas-linked groups, Pat, I think the first one that comes to mind, of course, is Kind Hearts for Charitable Humanitarian Development.
Sure.
You know?
Yeah.
That's what they're famous for.
That's what they're famous for.
Kind hearts.
Hamas,
if you could say one thing about Hamas is that their hearts are kind.
and they are also very focused on charitable humanitarian development.
Yeah.
Everybody knows that.
Everybody knows that.
And when they do focus on that charitable humanitarian development, they do it with kind hearts.
And that's something that you need to remember.
Now, this was an organization unfortunately dissolved in 2011 by the U.S.
Department of Treasury after it was found they were funneling funds.
to Hamas, which is, you know,
I mean, the story gets a little repetitive at this point, but you get the sense here that maybe there's a pattern.
Some people will detect a pattern here with Rashida Tlaib and the people she chooses to raise funds with, that they've also been raising funds directly for Hamas.
Now, look, she doesn't want any of this violence to happen.
She's not encouraging it.
She's not excited about it.
She's not exhilarated by this violence.
No, no.
Now, I will say there was one other thing.
Talib additionally used a pro-terror Facebook page.
Now,
I don't get it.
I'm not on Facebook that much.
I got to be honest with you.
You know, we post stuff for the show.
If you're on it, we want you to watch it.
Go to the Studos America Facebook page.
I can tell you right now, the Studos America Facebook page, though, not falling under the category of a pro-terror Facebook page.
What kind of bigotry is that, Steve?
I'm surprised you admit it, Taliban.
We're neutral on terror on the Studos America page.
We're neutral.
We don't take a stance either way.
We're not against it.
Of course not.
All right.
Of course we're not against terrorism.
It's becoming concerned.
Okay, good.
I have to.
Now, Pac Gray unleashed.
Would you say pro-terrorism or would you say
I figured?
Yeah.
Talib additionally used a pro-terror Facebook page called PACUSA to raise funds for her 2018 congressional campaign.
Talib gave the founder of PACUSA the position of chairman of the finance committee
for Rashida Tlaib for Congress.
And then he used it to promote 12 fundraisers in eight states entirely with her support.
And that happens.
You know, people are like, oh, well, it seems like that's a lot of fundraisers in a lot of states.
Come on, that's not even all the states.
That's only eight states.
That means 42 states.
She didn't have any pro-Hamas fundraisers going on with this operator of a pro-terrorism Facebook page.
So give her a break here.
Yeah, don't tell me, please, that people expect her to be anti-terror in all 50 states.
Come on.
Come on, come on.
Nobody can do that.
Nobody can do that.
It's like, hey, do you eat healthy?
Sure, I do.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you had one M ⁇ M six months ago.
Okay.
Maybe, you know, maybe you did.
That happens.
That I think is still, we can summarize that as saying you eat healthy.
But they still keep going after the poor Rashida Tlaib.
Just, it's just unfortunate.
She's a victim.
Yeah, she is.
Thank you.
She's a victim.
Thank you, Pat.
Yeah, you're welcome.
In 2015, Tlaib also co-founded the Detroit-based anti-American, anti-Israel, pro-terror hate group,
Black for Palestine.
A co-founder used the group to conduct activism with members of the Marxist-Leninist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is a designated foreign terrorist organization.
But again, who among us, right?
My God.
I mean, this is all we have against her is that she's just happened to have brushed shoulders with terrorist after terrorist after terrorist organization.
Yeah.
What?
We can all relate to that, though.
Because it's hard to avoid.
If I were to say, hey,
Pat, hey, you were in 7-Eleven yesterday.
The guy who walked out as you were walking in, he, you know, he embezzled from his company.
Does that make you an embezzler?
No, it does not.
You have a connection to this person.
Yeah, I want to buy him.
Yeah, well, then you probably knowingly.
To make the cases equal, you would also have to hire him to raise funds for
the slight difference and brushing shoulders.
But we've all...
It's exactly the same.
You know?
Exactly the same, only different.
How many times last week, Pat, did you interact with someone who supported Hamas?
And
just four, like four times last week alone.
How many times last week did you hire an organization that funneled funds to a terrorist organization?
Last week?
Last week.
Just last week.
Well, we're narrowing it down that much.
I got to say none last week.
Okay, well, the last month then.
Okay, well, like 17.
17.
And that's, I think,
reasonable, right?
It's typical.
It's not high or low.
I think it's in the general range.
Where else are you going to funnel your funds if you don't funnel them to an organization that's decapitating children?
I don't know.
I don't know where else it would go.
What else are you supposed to do with your money?
I don't know.
Look, if you're going to hire people in America today, chances are they're going to be people who are working closely with those murdering grandmothers and streaming their deaths to their family members.
That's just reality.
Stop going after Rashida Tales.
Stop asking the impossible of her.
Would you please
stop it?
All right.
More coming up in one minute.
Unbelievable.

Welcome.
It's Pat and Stewart for Glenn today on the Glenn Back program, 888-727-B-E-C-K.
I don't know.
How do voters keep sending her back?
How does that happen?
I don't even want the answer to that question because it's going to reveal more than I want to know about my fellow Americans, at least in this particular area.
It's depressing.
It really is.
I mean, this is a person who outwardly is acting as if she's a foreign agent
in the U.S.
government.
And then turns around and acts like, we're the bad people
for mentioning it.
We're the bad people for wanting Israel to put an end to the attacks that plague them and have for
over 70 years.
And so we're the terrible ones.
Not her dealing with terrorist, multiple terrorist organizations.
It's incredible.
How How do we have these people in Congress?
How does this Hamas caucus or jihad squad exist in the United States government?
I think what happens every time a Republican politician makes a speech at an organization that 50 years ago said something bad about race or who God only knows, they are branded by that for the rest of their life.
Every time they go on television, it's brought up.
This is a woman who is not just having doing a speech.
She's hired people.
She's hired organizations.
She's spent money with these people.
She's raised money with these people over and over and over and over again.
And the Republican Party is continually accused of being extreme.
So extreme.
This is not your grandparents' GOP.
This is an extreme radical.
Are you kidding me?
In the Democrat Party, you've got people like this who are cavorting with terrorists and we're the extreme ones.
Unbelievable.
In 2020, the Communist Party didn't even run a candidate.
Why?
Because Joe Biden was perfectly fine with them and that's who they endorsed.
It just drives me out of my mind.
And he's honestly delivered.
He has delivered.
He's delivered everywhere.
He has.
He's been.
I think we all love that.
I mean, his platform was among the most liberal platforms ever by a major party candidate.
Yeah.
And this was a guy sold as a moderate.
As a moderate.
He's, you know, because they did this temperament thing, and it's something that it's tough to deal with because this is how a lot of people vote.
It's why Donald Trump has problems with people.
We always say, oh, get over the fact that you don't like nasty tweets.
Because people are just voting on temperament.
And they say, oh, Joe Biden,
he seems normal, and I'm just going to vote for him.
Well, how'd that work out for you?
And I will say this, too.
Luckily, we are at the point where now the temperament of Joe Biden is just seen as he's about to collapse.
So I don't think that's going to work for him this time, but it looks like they're going to roll him out for another whirl at it anyway.
Yep.
Yep.
Amazing.
More patents do for Glenn coming up on the
Glenn Beck program.
Thank you.
I'm here all day.
The Glenn Beck program.
Now's the time for you to reduce your monthly bills and start saving more money.
And you need to know that, you know, 100%, it's an important part.
God only knows where we are going to be a year from now.
six months from now or tomorrow, honestly.
But if you're someone who's had to use credit cards a lot, chances are fair that you could end up in debt up to your eyeballs eventually if it's not happening already it happens all the time to people so if you're a homeowner it's something uh there's something you can do about this you can go and call american financing in 10 minutes they can do a free financial review that will show you what your options are people are doing this and saving 700 a month every month i mean imagine what you could do with that kind of money imagine how much freer you would be and feel by getting out from under that debt american financing is america's home for home loans i've had home loans with American Financing.
They're great people, a great company, and they've been helping people just like you get free of their financial burden for over 20 years.

It's Pat and Stew for Glenn today.
Fortunately,
if you're confused by the chant that pro-Palestinian protesters are using from the river to the sea, there's a great explanation for that in the New York Times.
Yeah, they went to bat to make sure you understood.
Apparently, some people think it's a bad thing.
What?
Yeah, they think that that means that you're supposed to, from the river, which is the Jordan River, to the sea, which is the Mediterranean.
Yeah.
They want all of that territory, which would eliminate Israel.
Right.
But that's not that.
I mean, come on.
Come on.
I mean, come on.
I don't know where you're even getting that.
Right.
Some people apparently believe it, though.
The phrase from the river to the sea, or in Arabic, say it with me, Pat.
Min
al-Nar.
Elah.
al-Bar.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's it.
It dates back to the dawn of the Palestinian nationalist movement of the early 1960s, about a quarter century before Hamas even came into existence.
So right there, we know it can't be bad.
Okay.
Now, Hamas, they keep telling us Hamas is pretty much good, so I don't know why they'd need to point that out, but they want to make sure you know, I mean, it wasn't.
Come on, guys.
You know, just like they always point out, you know, the swastika had a history before Nazi Germany.
They want to make sure you know yeah that this particular phrase had a history before Hamas even came along it gained popularity with the Palestine Liberation Organization or PLO as a call for returning to the borders under British control of Palestine where Jews and Arabs had both lived before the creation of Israel as a Jewish state in 1948 remember that
ignore the fact that
during the creation of Israel as if they just forgot about the Palestinians and didn't care no
because it was just Israel right just Israel I don't remember the history.
No, it was Israel and a state that they would have called Palestine.
Oh.
Yeah.
It was set up at the same time.
But why didn't that happen?
And it was the same amount of territory for each.
Okay.
And so it was unfair to Palestine.
Right.
Because, well, was it the Israelis that rejected it, of course?
Of course, yeah.
They said, no, we're not going to.
No.
Oh, no.
It was the Palestinians.
Oh, really?
Yeah, because that wasn't enough for them.
They wanted to eliminate the Jews and take all of the territory.
So that's why there's not a two-state thing going on right now.
Huh.
That's fascinating.
I haven't heard that really, it's not really well explained in this article.
Not well explained.
No.
No.
Now, the slogan from the river to the sea, it reflects the geography of that original claim.
That's what it reflects: the geography of that original claim.
No, it doesn't.
No.
But okay.
Israel spans the narrow stretch of land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
But the phrase's popularity persisted even as territorial claims shifted after the PLO entered peace negotiations in the 90s, for many Palestinians, the phrase now has a dual meaning.
You really?
See,
are you concerned about what the dual meaning is?
Yeah, I am.
A little.
I think the dual meaning is either decapitate Jews or just make them move
and never come back to their homeland.
It's one of the two.
The dual meaning.
No, they say the dual meaning represents their desire for a right of return to the towns and villages from which their families were expelled in 1948.
As well, that's the one side.
Wow.
As well as their hope for an independent Palestinian state, incorporating the West Bank, which abuts the Jordan River, and the Gaza Strip, which hugs the coastline of the Mediterranean.
It's unbelievable.
The West Bank, otherwise known as Judea and Samaria, right?
When they're using that phrase, it's very personal for them, says Maha Nassar, an associate professor of Middle Eastern history at the University of Arizona.
How many times have you had Maha on the show?
Quite a few?
Well, we had, for a while, we did Maha Mondays.
Did you?
Yeah.
And so every Monday
would come on.
Yeah, Maha would come on and explain to us what Palestinians really mean when they say, kill all the Jews.
And we'd be like, there's a dual meaning to that particular phrase.
Now, what Maha says they're actually saying, she says, quote, they're saying, I identify with my ancestral home in Palestine, even if it's not on a map today.
Or ever, by the way.
Or ever.
So.
Or, well, that's an interesting home.
Or ever.
That it's never been there.
Huh.
That's an interesting fact that most people don't know.
It's never been in a Palestinian state.
No.
No.
Also, it's an insistent on Palestinians and Palestine being unified.
But the phrase, Pat, there is a dark side.
Yes, it's all wonderful so far, but there's a dark side to this phrase, sort of.
You're kidding.
Yeah.
The phrase has also been adopted over the years by
Hamas,
which calls for the annihilation of Israel, taking on a darker meaning.
Is it darker to most of the people writing the stories at the New York Times?
Probably not.
Taking on a darker meaning that has long shaped the way in which it was received.
This is only intensified in the wake of Hamas's October 7th attack on southern Israel.
The large, as they do note correctly, the largest single-day slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.
Gaza's health ministry, they got to throw this in in the same paragraph, Gaza's health ministry, which is run by Hamas, says that more than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes since.
They say it.
It must be true.
It must be true.
They don't have a track.
Well, yes, they do have a track track record of lying through their teeth and faking all kinds of injuries and deaths and digging people up and showing them to reporters.
But I'm sure they wouldn't do that again.
No,
I doubt.
Well, they might.
Well, they might.
Yeah, they might.
And they actually do.
And they are promising to
do it again.
Okay.
But
they might not.
They might not be through it.
Maybe they're through with it.
Right.
The Anti-Defamation League says they phrase is an
anti-Semitic charge denying the Jewish right to self-determination, including through the removal of Jews from their ancestral homeland.
In a post on X
this week, the ADL and a Jewish advocacy group that fights anti-Semitism and discrimination wrote, From the river to the sea is a Hamas call to annihilate Israel, adding that claiming it is a rally of coexistence gives cover to terror.
Many members of Congress, including dozens of Democrats, endorsed a similar view this week as they condemned Ms.
Tlib.
Now, I believe it was 22 Democrats.
So I could be wrong on that.
I thought it was 22, which would not be dozens.
It would be one dozen plus 10.
Yeah.
In case you just want to be technical.
The slogan does not appear in the Hamas founding covenant.
Now, why will no one cover that?
They didn't, it's not in the Hamas founding covenant.
So it can't be bad.
Now, in the Hamas founding covenant, they said that
Jews would hide behind rocks so that they didn't get murdered.
And then the rocks would call out and say, there is a Jew behind me.
And the trees.
And the trees is why I shouldn't leave the trees out of them.
I shouldn't leave them out because they're going to be telling on the Jews as well.
Moss's firm commitment not to recognize Israel under any conditions.
I believe the tree says, oh, Muslim, come kill this Jew that hides behind me.
I believe that's what the trees and the rocks will be saying.
Right.
So.
Now, Peter Beinert, a professor at the City University of New York, says, the phrase, Palestine will be free from the river to the sea, suggests a vision of the future without a Jewish state.
But it does not answer the question of what the role Jews of Jews would be.
Maybe they'll be president of the Palestinian.
Maybe.
Okay, maybe.
Maybe the entire Congress will be filled with Jews in the Palestinian state.
We don't know.
They just want the word on the map.
They'll be VIPs.
Yes.
In the new Palestinian state.
Bottle service.
They'll be all hooked up.
Maybe it's going to be like, maybe Palestine will be a club where the Jews get the VIP section.
We don't know.
It could go any direction, boys and girls.
Now,
he does mention:
if it's coming from a Hamas member, then yes, I would feel threatened, said Professor Beinhardt, who is Jewish.
If it's coming from someone who I know has a vision of equality and mutual liberation, then no, I would not feel threatened.
And of course, Rashida Tlib would immediately fall into that category.
Oh, sure.
She's someone who cares about coexistence.
You bet.
You bet she does.
It's perfectly possible for both people to be free between the river and the sea.
See, this is the thing.
What people are recognizing.
They're saying Palestine must be free from the river to the sea, but what you don't hear, and they often mumble this, and it's to be fair, the full phrase is from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
And also, the Jews will have a wonderful life in this future nation.
You don't hear that a lot because it's chanting.
People are kind of talking.
It's a lot of words.
They're chanting over each other.
Yeah, and it doesn't rhyme rhyme with any of the rest of it.
It does.
So at all.
And it's important to these protesters that everything rhyme.
It must rhyme.
Yeah.
That's why you don't hear it a lot.
Now, this is Ahmad Khalidi.
He says it's perfectly possible for both people to be free between river and sea.
Is free necessarily in itself genocidal?
That's a great question.
I don't know.
You know, freedom a lot of times to me does coincide with genocide.
At least when Hamas is talking about it.
But maybe not.
Maybe this time they're like, you know what?
We were thinking about murdering all the Jews, but instead, let's live nicely next to them, you know, and reverse all of our previous position statements on the issue.
Give them an honored place in our society.
Yeah.
And maybe that's the new final solution, Pat.
Yeah, maybe.
It's just elevating Jews to points of reverence.
That'd be great.
For Hamas.
That could be.
We don't know.
The New York Times doesn't know.
All the experts they talk to don't seem to know.
Could it be that it is maybe a negative phrase?
No.
Look, just because the Palestinian Authority Charter called for the destruction and elimination of Israel, and just because the Hamas Charter does the same thing.
So just because all Palestinian entities call for the elimination of Jews and for them to have that entire area, that doesn't mean they're really going to back it up and actually eliminate Jews.
Why would you think that?
Right.
Could go any direction.
Sure.
Really?
Really?
You know, and who knows?
They might be saving all of the
highest, most elite spaces in this new state for the Jews.
That could be their plan.
They haven't voiced that.
They voiced the opposite of that, in fact.
But who knows?
But what about all the innocent Palestinians that we're talking about here?
And look, there are some.
There are some.
For example, only 93% of Palestinians hold anti-Jewish views.
Oh my gosh.
Only 93%.
So there's seven full percent that don't even get discussed here.
I'm sick of that.
I'm sick of it.
Why aren't we talking about the 7%
of Palestinians
who think it's okay for Jews to live?
Why?
It's not 5%.
No.
It's not 6%.
It's not.
It's not 8% either, but it's 7%.
7 full percent of the Palestinians don't.
hold those views, which is, wow, what an amazing accomplishment.
That's terrific.
this society is working out well.
Look,
we all don't want innocent civilians to be killed in war.
We all know, however, what war is.
War is a situation where, particularly when the people who are governing that you elected to govern your society will hold you hostage and put you around the places where they operate because they want to hopefully prevent Israel from bombing the operational part of Hamas.
When you have, first of all, I mean, this is a first recommendation, Pat, wouldn't elect them.
If you have, like, if you go to the ballot box, and this is, we just had an election this week, it's a good time to remind you.
When you see the word Hamas
on the ballot, don't check that box.
Yeah.
That's just a recommendation.
And I don't know, maybe people in Rashida Talib's district should recognize this particular bit of advice.
But 90%.
Don't vote for them.
Yeah, don't vote them in.
But you know what?
How are are they going to lose when 93 of palestinians already hold the
tie jewish views i mean of course they're going to win um
and that that goes completely unmentioned when the biden administration douchebags continually say
uh oh that they don't represent the palestinian people well yeah they literally literally do they literally do they were voting it's like saying the american government doesn't represent the american people no we voted him into office.
Yeah, and Rashida Tlaib represents the voters of her district.
That is real.
It's a sad thing, but it's a real thing.
And I will say, like, even when you go back to that Hamas,
what led to that Hamas election?
First of all, Israel leaving
the region.
They said, okay, you guys, give it a whirl.
You guys, how are you going to govern yourself?
How's this going to go?
And they had an election, and they voted for Hamas.
Yes.
And by the way, this is not one of those elections that the international observers come in and they say, well, this was obviously Hamas had everybody at at gunpoint and they said, you must vote for us or we're going to kill you.
That's not what they think about this election.
That's not what they've accused.
This is an actual fair election.
They picked Hamas.
Now, after this,
a war broke out and Hamas grabbed full power.
So that worked out well.
And look, there's a criticism for Israel here, too, and legitimately for pulling out in 2000, what was it, 2005?
It was a terrible move.
Yeah.
A terrible move.
It was.
And
they're thinking about rectifying that.
They should.
And man, they're going to get flack, though, when that happens.
Triple 8-727-BECK, more coming up.
Well, back on 9-11, there was something you might remember that happened, 9-11, 2001, a terrible tragedy.
And after that came the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which is committed to helping our nation's heroes and their families in their darkest hours.

It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.
Today we've been talking about this
survey that
kind of got the temperature of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
And
as Stu mentioned, only only 93%
of the people in the Palestinian territories are anti-Jewish.
Yeah, they hold anti-Semitic views, is the way it's phrased.
Okay.
And now,
you hear that number 93.
Some people might say it sounds high.
Yeah.
That sounds a little bit high.
Yeah, those are the Islamophobes.
Right.
You know, the people who have phobes about Islamo.
Right.
But they break it down by population here.
There's 2.03 million in the population of West Bank and Gaza at this time.
Right.
And only 1.9 million believe these things.
So 1.9 out of 2 million.
Come on, now.
Come on.
But
it widely varies, honestly, from population to percentage, like 94% of males and 93% of females.
Big difference.
98% of those 50-plus.
So it's really varied.
Well, there's something special about buying things that are made in America.
You know, we've been telling you you about American Giant for a while now.
I love their stuff.
They have great clothing.
That's kind of the first thing, right?
Because a lot of times people say, hey,
you support this company.
They have this great cause.
And that's awesome.
I love doing that.
But you need to have the best stuff too, right?
I mean, it needs to be both things.
And American Giant definitely does that, but they're also great people.
They care about America.
They do their manufacturing in America.
And they're supporting Rescue 22, a nonprofit company that matches rescue dogs with veterans who have service-related disabilities.
They custom train each dog to match the need of a veteran.
And American Giant has created a limited edition classic full zip, their signature American-made hoodie, which is just great.
You're going to love these things.
And all the profits
from these hoodies go to fun dogs for veterans who need one.
Just another example how American Giant is doing good things for the country and veterans.
This week, they're increasing their military discount as well to 25%.

We gotta stand together, it's the cost of it.
What you're about to hear
is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Back Program.
Pat and Stu for Glenn today.
Stu just updated us on some important Rashida Tlib news to kind of clear up what's been going on with her.
She's a victim.
Dang it.
I'm tired of people, you know, getting all up in her face.
All up in here.
And they shouldn't be, but we've got an even
more information for you to share on Rashida Tlaib.
Incredible.
We'll do that in lots more in one minute.
And make no mistake, we are fighting another battle, one of many, a spiritual battle as we protect the most innocent among us, babies in their mother's wombs.
Pre-born stands on the front lines of this battle.
They are just a wonderful organization doing wonderful things.
And their network of clinics are positioned in the highest abortion areas, often next to abortion mills, where unspeakable evil takes place every single day.
Pre-born offers God's love and life to protect hurting women and precious pre-born babies.
And every time a baby is saved, which happens 200 times a day, good conquers evil.
But they can't do it alone, and this is where you come in to the picture.
The reason the Ministry of Pre-Born is able to continue helping mothers as they save their babies' lives is that generous donations from people just like you keep pouring in.
You are the key to their success.
If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way?
Your tax-deductible donation of $5,000 will sponsor Pre-Born's entire network for 24 hours, helping to rescue 200 babies.
Or give whatever you can.
To donate dial pound250 and say the keyword baby pound250 the keyword is baby or donate securely at preborn.com slash beck that's preborn.com slash beck sponsored by pre-born
all right well stu updated us on uh the rashida tlib situation uh you know she was out chanting from the river river from the river to the sea um
the other day and and she got censured for it in congress and it turns out among other things that wasn't the only thing she did.
And, you know, it turns out, yes, she's got a couple of people with terrorist ties.
Were
a significant list.
Yeah, three or four.
Three or four, plus a couple organizations here and there.
I mean, you know, among us.
Now, I mean, this is actually what happened as we went to commercial break.
I was going on to just see what else, you know, checking the news as we usually do in the breaks, make sure we're not missing anything.
And Ed Morrissey posted there's a new update to the Rashida Tlaim story.
Oh.
It just happened
moments ago.
This is, again, from Canary Mission, who is a, they've been looking for anti-Semitism throughout, you know, not only
college campuses, but also through the media and through our government.
They found it's no longer three.
It's now six.
Now, we told you before
about Salah Sarsour.
uh rafique jaber and bob smith and who we're calling bob smith but it was was really actually a bad thing.
It's a name that we can't pronounce.
It looks more like something if you took a bunch of consonants and just kind of threw them in a blender.
That's what it looks like to me.
So I'm not even going to attempt to
pronounce it, but Bob Smith is the other guy.
We also must tell you about
Huwaida Araf,
Sheikh Mohammed Khatani,
and Mafwak Jabara.
I'm sure that's exactly how they're in the native tongue, Pat.
That's how they're pronouncing it.
You might be like, Mafoak Jabbar, it doesn't sound like how I've heard that name before.
Well, that's because you're not speaking the native tongue.
I'm from the region.
And are you?
I have
a linguist.
Laird, is Connecticut in the region?
It depends how far you zoom out.
To Martians, it is.
Right?
So I only have to zoom out like 250 million miles.
Right.
And they're like, wow, those are right next to each other.
Yeah, okay.
PFLP Connections, the Black for Palestine activist group that Tlaib co-founded in 2015, worked publicly with terrorists.
Let me just say that one more time.
Worked publicly with terrorists.
Which organization?
The activist group that Tlaib co-founded.
They worked publicly with terrorists from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine no less than
one time?
Two times?
Three times?
Could it be four times?
Certainly not.
No, no.
No, it's not.
It's not five times either.
It's not six.
It's not seven, but eight times.
No less than eight times.
There's no way she should have been censured.
She should be expelled from Congress.
She should be impeached.
How is it that...
Okay, well, yeah, we're going to give you a slap on the wrist.
Yeah.
Not a hard one, but, you know, a soft little slap.
There you go.
And like, there is this
dumb parliamentary, like, this is bad if you get censured.
Do you think she she cares at all?
She does care.
Do you think she?
I mean, she went up and she did the same crocodile tears she did at every other press conference for the past two weeks.
Yeah.
And Alan Amar was right at her side, coddling her, arms around her, comforting her.
Does anybody believe it?
Does anybody believe it?
I certainly don't.
Now, look, sometimes people just show up to your events and there's nothing you can do about that.
Okay.
You know, like, let's say
the Kansas City Chiefs, they got a game coming up this weekend.
Could there be a bad person in the crowd of 80,000?
Sure.
Sure.
You know, of course.
You can't screen and know every view.
Right.
And that's what happened to Rashida Tlaib one time in January, you know, way back in 2019.
Do you even remember how old you were?
You were four years old in 2019.
You were four years old.
Four years old.
You were born in 2015, huh?
Yeah.
You do not, you have aged gracefully.
Thank you.
I'll tell you that.
Thank you.
One of Rashida Tlaib's guests for her January 2019 swearing in.
Now,
you feel like you're swearing in to Congress.
She calls herself the only Palestinian in Congress, and that's why she's being censored.
And if you remember all the times Justin Amash was censured, censored, it happened over and over and over again.
Over and over and over again.
Oh, wait, no, it didn't happen at all.
No, not once.
He was also Palestinian-American and didn't have these problems at all.
Maybe it was because he wasn't running around constantly saying that Jews should be wiped off the planet, but that's, you know, neither here nor there.
Yeah.
One of Rashida Tlaib's guests for her January 2019 swearing in was Fatah activist Mazan Dola.
He's the cousin of a terrorist who lured an Israeli teenager online for a date and then murdered him in cold blood in 2001.
Two and a half years before attending Tlaib's swearing in, he attended the release of his cousin from an Israeli jail along with armed members of Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.
May you have heard that before.
Oh, yeah.
Now, of course, this is, by the way, the guest of honor at this particular event.
Oh, my gosh.
Hamas, a linked fundraiser host.
One of Tlaib's 2018 fundraiser hosts, Mafiq Jamara Mafak Jamara, Jabara, Bob Jones,
met with Hamas co-founder while in maximum security Israeli jail.
He called for the death of Jews and praised the terrorist who killed U.S.
Army veteran Taylor Force.
Isn't that just quaint?
Now, this seems to get uglier and uglier by the day.
Ed Morrissey points out the coverage of this, though.
And look,
I'm not a guy that looks at the news closely enough, I guess, Pat, because I missed all the coverage of this.
I didn't see any of it.
But let me just give you a quick...
A quick rundown of
the
Canary Foundation's reports, and this is Canary Missions reports.
This is about Rashida Tlaib.
New York Times has reported it zero times.
Washington Post,
zero.
The Detroit Free Press,
zero.
The Associated Press does come back with 800 search results, but nothing on either report about Rashida Tlaib.
So they have a bunch of non-pertinent results that come in, but zero.
Reuters has
zero.
CNN has one hit on a link of a video to Tlaib tearing up during her defense.
CNN's search functions are terrible and rudimentary, according to Ed Morrissey, which he's correct on that.
Doesn't seem to generate any link of the coverage to the Canary Mission Report, so we'll go with zero.
NBC News,
zero, ABC News,
zero, CBS News,
zero, New York Post,
zero.
Al Jazeera,
zero.
So no one, this is a person who's in the news all the time right now,
who has been linked credibly to now six different Hamas-linked terrorist group members
and no coverage from anybody of the major media institutions in our country.
Did you mention Fox in there?
He actually does mention Fox.
I left it out because he says basically they don't have a good...
Good luck using their search feature.
It's worse than CNN's, is what he says.
So he doesn't know.
Yeah, he doesn't know if Fox is reporting.
He says he gives him the benefit of the doubt and assumes they've mentioned the Canary Mission Report, but we don't know.
Wow.
I mean, but like, think of this.
Like, think of all the dumb scandals you know about Republicans.
You know, Mitt Romney left his dog on his roof in 1978.
Yeah.
You know, I mean,
think of all the reports of
just idiotic controversies, people making speeches at organizations that had ties to bad people 50 years ago and no longer do,
all these things.
And yet, this is a sitting member of Congress.
She is probably
the central focus of Congress right now.
If you were to talk about one person that is in the news right now most when it comes to Congress, now that we've passed Mike Johnson and him becoming the Speaker of of the House, you would probably go with Rashida Tlaib.
She's on television constantly, crying and sobbing, her fake tears, her same performance at every venue over and over and over again.
And they don't even mention that she's been hiring people directly tied to, and in some cases have gone to prison for their connections to Hamas.
No one brings it up.
Incredible.
Seriously hard to believe.
I hope we can get through the show without 10 more people being tied to Hamas and Rashida Tlaib because I don't.
I bet we don't.
I bet we don't.
I thought we'd get through today's show and apparently not.
It's amazing.
Wow.
Amazing.
Speaking of people in Congress,
now that we have Speaker Mike Johnson,
the little-known Louisiana Congressman who's now
the Speaker of the House,
it is time to deal with the business of the Congress.
And it's come up again already, as we said it would.
Before you know it, this is going to be an issue again.
And it is.
They're already talking and threatening shutdown.
Again, we just went through this whole shutdown thing, and they were screaming and yelling that Republicans wanted it to shut down.
And of course, they didn't.
And they proved that by voting before the shutdown would have happened, not to make it happen.
And it was a Democrat who tried to stop the whole process.
In fact, the Democrats tried multiple times to stop the vote to avoid the shutdown.
And anyway, here we are again because they just keep doing these stupid continuing resolutions that last for 30 days or 45 days or whatever it is, and we're right back into it again.
When is the United States Congress going to pass a budget?
And we just stick to the budget for the year.
What a concept that would be.
I mean, like any small business person?
Yeah.
Or any family in America that needs to have a budget so that they don't get overdrawn and go $32 trillion in debt.
You know, kind of important.
You're a small business owner.
Yes.
You have to do a budget for your business.
Pretty much for cookies.
Texi cookies, we should point out.
You should definitely buy some of them to help the budget.
That would be nice.
They're fantastic cookies.
Texi.com, if you'd like to do that.
K-E-K-S-I.com.
Yeah.
I mean,
I'm going through this right now.
My wife is starting a business, a spray tanning business.
Oh, really?
Yes.
She started it.
It's just kind of a soft launch period.
It's sunbelievable dfw.com, by the way.
Oh, nice.
It's a great name.
Unbelievable Society.
Oh, it is.
I like it.
But she started this small business, and we have a bunch of spreadsheets
laying out what things will cost, how much revenue to be expected.
Okay, and you live by those for about 15 to 20 days.
No, it's set for the whole business.
You spend whatever you want.
Yeah, and we want to make sure that the business doesn't lose money.
We want to make sure that it's profitable.
We want to make sure that it's run efficiently, that we're not missing certain costs.
So you don't don't necessarily want to go bankrupt by just blindly spending all kinds of money that you don't have?
Yeah, that was the thought.
Weird.
That was the thought going in.
And I hope that's the way it turns out.
We will see.
Okay.
I think I'm optimistic about the future.
But like we, it's not just optimism.
It's not just, hey, I hope this turns out well.
You're actually trying to do something about making sure.
Yeah, we had a budget.
Yeah.
And we made sure we mapped all this stuff out.
And we also had
revenue projections.
What if things go well?
What if they go poorly?
We have that too.
Really?
There's like a thing where, okay, all the money that comes into the company, we don't just run out and spend it.
Really?
We invest it back into the business or put it in a bank.
Really?
Yeah.
And then why would you put it in a bank?
Would it be maybe for a rainy day where maybe people don't like cookies for a month for some reason?
That would be horrible.
We want to make sure that, hey, we're prepared for that.
We don't have to lay off all of our employees.
We don't have to close down our business.
The U.S.
government, they don't do that.
they don't do that they don't do that no all they do is print more money yeah you know they are able to just i mean and and by the way i can't believe if you can get and this is an important uh asterisk to this whole conversation if you can get a money printing machine you don't need to budget nearly as closely.
If you can just print currency and go out and buy things whenever you want, it becomes a lot easier in the planning of your small business.
And that's exactly what they think they can do, ignoring the fact that when you do that, it devalues the money that people actually have.
So,
yeah, yeah, it's a weird thing.
It is
do what you want and just keep doing what you want forever.
That's a strange phenomenon.
I will say it would be interesting to watch the politics of this because
when Matt Gates came out and he was like, hey, we want to get rid of Kevin McCarthy, his state.
Now, there's a lot of reporting and rumor from behind the scene that he just didn't like Kevin McCarthy, right?
Like, you know, he didn't like the guy and he wanted him out
and waited for his opportunity to do so.
His stated
opposition was, hey, like this spending bill, he wants to do another continuing resolution.
Why don't we continuing resolution?
Now, of course, we kind of all look at that and say, yeah, I agree with him on that point.
I don't know if that was really his motivation or not.
If it was, you'd expect him to be saying the same things about Mike Johnson if he tries to do it, right?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't think he's going to do that, nor do I think it would be a healthy thing for him to do.
I don't think he should do it.
Now, you got to pressure these people to be able to keep spending in line as much as you can.
But on the other hand, going through this process again would be a catastrophe.
It's a nightmare.

Speaking of Mike Johnson, who is the new Speaker of the House, have you seen the flack he's getting because he and his son have kind of made this pact between them not to involve themselves in pornography?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You've seen that?
Yes, it's such a bizarre controversy.
It is so weird.
They're the perverts now because they are trying to hold each other.
He and his 17 or 18-year-old son are trying to hold each other accountable.
and there's a what is it called covenant covenant eyes covenant eyes yeah okay so it logs all your website activity and then it shares that with your partner that you're doing this with so that you're accountable to somebody yeah you have an accountability partner basically yeah like you might in if you were addicted to
drugs or drinking or whatever you have like a partner who's looking at this now there's no accusation that Mike Johnson is addicted to porn.
No, but he's just trying to make sure that, you know, somebody knows what he's doing online.
I don't want to make, you don't know for sure, but I don't know.
The implication I took from the story, this is just my opinion, is that maybe, maybe his son had an issue.
Maybe.
Maybe, and then like this is the way they're trying to hold you accountable.
He said, you know what?
You can hold me accountable.
I'll hold you accountable.
And they made this agreement.
Well, they're being mocked in Rolling Stone and all kinds of other publications for being weirdos now.
Yeah, they're making it sound like they're just like getting together and watching porn together.
It's bizarre.
No, it's particularly bizarre because the Democrats ran a presidential candidate who actually took his mom to Deep Throat.
Oh, right.
John Hickenlooper.
Oh, my gosh.
That's a real story.
They went to the theater and watched Deep Throat in the theater together.
His mom and candidate, but the Democrats are like, I can't believe this.
This guy is creepy and perverted and weird.
Who does this?
Who does this?
Well, John Hickenlooper.
He does the thing that you're accusing Mike Johnson of doing, which he is not doing.
Right.
He actually did go and watch porn with his mom.
That's a real thing that actually occurred.
It's just that if you're trying to be a good person, if you're trying to be a solid Christian who stands by your faith and your values, you're terrible.
You're disgusting.
You're perverted.
I mean, this is the epitome of
Isaiah 5.20 that Glenn Glenn and I have cited many times.
You know, this is putting evil for good and good for evil.
This is darkness for light and light for darkness.
This is where we live right now.
It's unbelievable.

The Glenn Back Program.
Veterans Day is coming up and
the Tuttle Twins have the perfect gift for your kids and, of course,
the entire occasion.
If you haven't been paying attention lately, our American history is constantly being rewritten by the left.
The postmodernist approach has been to see everything in terms of the powerful, keeping a boot on the neck of the marginalized.
But let's face it, all history, America included, is a lot more complex than that.
The writers of the Tuttle Twins books know that your kids are being exposed to all sorts of garbage when they step into a history classroom, and they've set up
a bunch of ways to help change that with their Tuttle Twins history books.
These are great books.
My kids love these books.
If you want to teach teach your kids the true principles of our founding, to look up the heroes that built our nation and to be excited about personal empowerment instead of victimhood, you need to get them from the Tuttle Twins history books.
There's a big sale in these books that you're going to want to check out.
Today's the last day.
Go to TuttleTwinsbeck.com, TuttleTwinsbeck.com, get the Veterans Day deal and bonuses.
It's tuttletwinsbeck.com to protect your kids from bad ideas.

Blaze TV host Lauren Chen heads to Hawaii in search of answers in the latest episode of our Blaze original series, What Really Happened in Maui?
It's out exclusively now on Blaze TV.
Welcome.
It is Pat and Stew for Glenn today, 888727B ECK.
We just had Election Day on
Tuesday, and nobody to actually, there weren't actual people to vote for in Texas.
I don't know how many states were like this.
But we, our ballot, at least mine was all resolutions.
Did you have anybody that was
resolutions?
The whole resolution.
I think for the most part.
And they all passed except for one.
And the one was the only one they didn't pass was like, hey, we're going to raise the mandatory retirement age for Supreme Court justices from 75 to 79.
So people are like, we already have Joe Biden.
I don't want any more old people.
That was basically what they said.
Right.
The only one, 63 to 37, that one got rejected, but there was 14 of them listed.
Every other one approved.
Now, there were a couple of good ones in there.
Yeah.
There was a couple of them on like lowering property taxes.
I voted for that.
Making sure the wealth tax does not
come into effect.
Yes.
But most of them were just like, hey, crazy.
Can we spend a bunch of your money?
I mean.
A lot of your money, too.
They want to take our rainy day fund, which is our budget surplus in Texas.
We actually have one, which is amazing.
And they want to apply that to universities who already have their own funds.
Why do I have to fund the research at UT when they've got a $43 billion endowment?
Why?
Why?
Well, it passed 6436.
It wasn't even close.
How about creating a water fund?
No.
How about no?
And that passed.
7822.
It passed.
How about an energy fund?
Now, again, the details of these things are super
light.
Like they just like, we're going to take a bunch of money.
We're going to help your pipes.
Water fund, vote for me.
Like, okay, I mean, maybe that's not a completely insane idea, obviously.
But what happens with most people is they do a benefit analysis, not a cost-benefit analysis, just a benefit analysis.
Hey, I like water.
Yeah.
Water's good.
Energy's good.
I like the University of Texas or whatever.
And that gets approved.
This, it gets more and more absurd, of course.
Proposition 8 created a $1.5 billion broadband infrastructure fund.
Broadband.
We made fun of this for, what, 15 years?
The Lumbee tribe that wanted the high-speed internet in their area, and they got it, by the way.
They did.
So now Texas did as well.
Yep.
$1.5 billion.
Get your own internet.
Don't make me pay for your internet.
I don't know.
Has anyone ever heard of Elon Musk?
Does he exist?
He seems to make news all the time.
He's got a bunch of satellites up in space beaming internet to people who want it.
You don't need broadband infrastructure.
You ever look up in the sky and it looks like Santa Claus is going through the sky, a bunch of satellites right in a row.
It's really cool looking.
That's Elon.
He's up there.
He's shooting internet to you.
Okay.
That's enough.
Why are we still doing this?
I don't know.
This has already been solved by Starlink.
And regardless, if it was solved or not, it is not the responsibility of somebody who lives in Dallas to vote for some rural person in another part of the state's internet use.
Yeah.
That is not the job.
And we didn't, it wasn't just that.
It was something in El Paso.
What was the El Paso thing?
Oh, yeah.
That I also voted against.
No.
Why am I even being asked about this?
The El Paso one's incredible.
Because, again, like, El Paso is 10 hours from us.
10 hours.
Think about how many states that might be from you if you're in the Northeast, right?
Right.
It's a 10-hour drive from here.
Even it's interstate.
Okay.
But let's say it was
you know, there was a Flint, Michigan water issue, right, that happened, and they didn't have enough room money to spend on their pipes.
There was some poisoning of people's water.
You might say, okay, well, the state needs to step in and help out.
Can you please help out the people of El Paso?
Okay, I didn't make that argument.
No, this is what it is.
Permitting conservation and reclamation districts in El Paso to issue bonds supported by property taxes to fund recreational development and improvement.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No, no, no,
no.
And the one in Galveston, what was that one?
It's another, that's a five-hour drive from us.
That was abolishing Galveston County's Office of the County Treasurer.
Why do I care about it?
I don't know.
Why would we be voting on that?
The people in Galveston can figure that out for themselves.
But what's so frustrating about this is people just vote yes on all of it.
They do.
They don't think about the cost of it.
They just vote yes.
Even in a state like Texas, a red state, It happens in red districts all the time.
If you see the word bond,
vote no.
Because the bond means it's not coming out of taxes and it's free.
No, that's not what it means.
No, it doesn't mean that.
But people think it means that, and that's kind of what they tell you.
Yeah.
We don't have to increase taxes at all for this.
Let's borrow.
Let's borrow it.
No.
No.
No.
No.
And they do this all the time on the school bond issues, too.
My gosh, the school bond issues are outrageous.
Imperial.
It's for the children.
Yes.
Don't you love your children?
Don't you love kids?
Do you want to kill them?
Why don't you love kids?
How do you think?
What do you think children do without two arboretums in their school?
What kind of freak could go to school at a place without two arboretums?
What was the city in Texas, Pat, that wanted to go to school?
It was Katie, Texas.
Oh, that was Katie, Texas.
Where I used to live.
Yeah.
A suburb of Houston.
They had two arboretums at this brand new school that was like a mile end-to-end.
For those who might not know, what is an arboretum?
I don't know.
I don't even.
It's like, I think they put plants and water in it and you swim there.
I don't know what they do in the arboretum, but my gosh, can we stop with the my daughter, my oldest daughter,
she's president of the local PTA and she's big into education.
So when this bond issue came up in her school district, it was $2 billion.
For one school district.
$2 billion.
Yeah.
Well, Dad, it's the fast, one of the fastest growing.
I don't care.
Who cares?
Make it grow slower.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Well, what if they have to go to school in a trailer?
Oh, well.
Oh.
Okay.
Okay.
For one class or whatever, they go outside and go to the trailer.
So
it's not the end of the world.
I put up with worse than that when I went to school.
Yeah.
My building, it was lucky the building I went to grade school in didn't fall down on my head and the rest of people in the school.
It was so old and decrepit.
I remember being when I went to school, I went to one year.
I remember going, my classroom was in the annex.
That's what it was, the annex.
The annex.
And was that platial?
Was it beautiful?
Was there an arboretum
in the annex?
They were like negative arboretums.
Like they actually killed trees to make the annex.
There was another school district around here, Prosper ISD.
They just did a bond for $2.8
billion.
There's 28,000 kids in the school district.
$2.8 billion.
It's not small, and it's gone from $1,000 back in 2002 to 28,000 now.
So it is growing fast.
But what was involved in this $2.
billion dollars?
What do they want?
One of the things they wanted, and to their credit, they did separate some of the bond.
And one of the things that they separated from the rest of the bond, so only $2.4 billion of the $2.8 billion was
okayed by the people.
$2.4 billion?
But one of the things they rejected, and this is surprising for Texas, $94 million football stadium.
Oh, my God.
Why did they reject that?
How could you do it?
Yeah, I mean, it is.
Well, because in 2019, this was a full four years ago.
I remember 2019.
Do we really?
Barely.
I mean, by paying attention.
Where old were you?
Again, I think I was four years old in 2019.
So obviously they needed another football stadium because that one was so decrepit and only seated 12,000 kids.
So wait, they built a football stadium in 2019.
2019.
And then they wanted 12,000.
They came back to them with a little bit nicer stadium for 94 million, but it only seated 8,000.
So you can imagine what kind of luxury place this was going to be.
Oh my gosh.
And the parents said no to that one.
That's the only one they said no.
That's the only one, the only thing they said no to.
It's just incredible.
And people vote for these things.
They always say yes.
The default default thing is say yes do i like the thing do i like water do i like energy do i like internet that's how they make the decision yeah it's as if there's no cost to it all let me give you an example of uh close to where i live there's a place that's making they decided to spend 3.1 million dollars on pickleball courts now
that's a big thing
i like it it's really
like and it is a hot sport there's no doubt about it people do want to play pickleball a lot of people in this town want to play pickleball and i think that taxpayers in your area should be paying for other people's pickleball.
Should they, though?
This is my question.
Let me just throw this out here.
I know this is crazy, but they're going to challenge that, huh?
$3.1 million for pickleball.
Okay.
Okay.
So, let me give you some other additional details about this particular
town and the pickleball establishment they are coming up with here.
They're going to build pickleball courts.
The pickleball courts are located next to
the tennis facility.
Now,
I am not an engineer.
Okay, I am not.
So maybe I'm missing something here, but it is my understanding that you can play pickleball on tennis courts.
I've seen it happen many times.
Well, you wheel out a little net and people just play their pickleball.
And if I could,
the tennis courts are not specifically built for pickleballs.
Correct.
That's correct.
That's a great point.
And that's
the argument as to why.
I can't play pickleball on a tennis court.
It wasn't designed for that purpose.
Now, of course, if you've ever played pickleball, you've probably played it on a tennis court because that's how people play it, generally speaking.
You put out the, you wheel out the, you can get, by the way, two courts in on each tennis court.
See, two pickleballs.
Double.
Okay, right.
So if you were to take, let's say, I don't know, four of the tennis courts that aren't being used and let people play pickleball on them, you would save $3.1 million.
But it's much, much,
much worse than that.
Because while they're spending $3.1 million on pickleball in this town, down the street has
a giant,
brand new
pickleball facility slash restaurant called Chicken and Pickle.
Now, Chicken and Pickle is a blast.
It's a great place.
They have like 40 pickleball courts, all sorts of stuff for the kids to do.
Yeah, but do I have to pay for that?
Is that a city facility?
No, it's not.
It's not.
So this is what's fascinating about this.
I have to pay for that.
In this particular case, they're in slightly different districts, so this doesn't fully apply.
But what happens here is that a town takes money from taxpayers and builds a recreational facility like pickleball courts and then undercuts the actual private business down the road
that spent millions of dollars of their own money to build a pickleball facility for people to use.
Then, in many cases, that facility built with private dollars is then required to pay taxes to the office that is
building their competition.
Actually,
and then
in addition to this,
the city facility undercuts the private facility on price.
Instead of charging as much as the price,
they can pay whatever they want.
It was all free to them.
They had no cost to reclaim.
So they just throw it out there and they'll charge almost nothing for these courts.
Yeah.
And then it will screw the businesses down the street.
This is
happening all over
the country.
Oh, yeah.
That's
years ago.
They're already building them now.
Oh, geez.
It's just inferioring.
This happens with gyms all the time.
They'll build these wonderful recreation facilities.
It's going to be great.
Everyone will love it.
And then the poor business owners who invested their life savings in a gym right down the street go out of business.
Yeah.
And if they don't go out of business, they have to fork over tax dollars to their competition.
Insane.
It makes no sense at all.
Triple 8727 back.
I swear, there's nothing that infuriates me and no one cares about it.
Did you know?
Yeah, well, wait, wait, pickleball.
I like pickleball.
Check mark.
Right.
Yep.
All right.
I love the free market, of course, as you may know by that last rant.
I think the people who founded this country understood that the best way to exist in a society was to strive toward the balance of freedom and moral responsibility.
We, of course, try to use our freedom wisely, not to take it for granted.
You try to support small businesses who are getting screwed all the time.
Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative mobile company.
They stand up for what they believe in.
They're a small business that has turned into a bigger business.
That's because they offer dependable nationwide coverage so you can access any of the three major networks that everyone's on.

you don't agree with.

Hi.
Thanks for being being here.
It is Pat and Stew for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.
Still kind of stewing over the pickleball situation.
Honestly, like,
it's one of those things that
I am so
is this is like my biggest dumb hot button issue because I just don't understand how no one else can see it.
It's like I'm just yelling at a wall and the wall is not responding to me for some reason.
And I get it.
They don't care.
They don't care.
If the city will open something free,
they're going to go for it.
Yeah.
And of course, not realizing it isn't free.
It isn't free.
And also, it hurts other small business owners.
And I feel like I would expect it in Illinois.
I would expect it in New York.
I would expect it in California.
But this is happening all in every state, in every red district.
This stuff happens all the time.
And it's great to be able to say, hey,
our town is nice.
It's got a nice recreation facility.
It's a good argument to come and live in the town.
And at some level, that's true, right?
But I mean, of course, you know, these places they build, not only do you pay for them to be built, you pay for them to be built.
But then also after they open, you pay to use them.
You still pay a membership fee.
Like, who, how is this not a scam?
I don't know.
If any private business owner tried to do this, it'd be like, wait a minute, like, that doesn't seem right.
And then what happens down the road when Pickleball's not not popular?
Like it inevitably will lose some popularity.
Tennis certainly did.
Yeah.
You know, look at the landscape of tennis right now because like nobody plays.
No, it's not, it's not a very popular sport.
At some point, pickleball may have that same fate.
You know, it's certainly rising in popularity now.
We all know.
We hear about it all the time.
But like, who's to say that this is going to be the hottest sport in 10 years when you have these courts all over the world?
Probably won't be.
Probably won't be.
I mean, you know, and we see this all the time.
Oklahoma City Thunder, right?
They bought their franchise for what, $200 million?
Yeah.
And now they want a new arena.
And of course, they want taxpayers to pay for almost all of it.
Yeah, no.
It's like,
each franchise in the NBA is worth over $3 billion now.
You bought it for $200 million.
I don't know.
Buy your own freaking arena.
Yep.
Yeah, but it helps a tax base in the city if I built the fig out there.
So you need to help.
Let's talk about pre-born.
Abortion is a tragic part of our lives.
And as Americans, honestly, even after the overturning of Roe v.
Wade, abortion continues to rob children of the right to live.
So what do we do?
I mean, because what's even more devastating is the majority of women who get abortion say they would have chosen life if they had more support.
We can do something about that.
Pre-born is stepping in to fill the gap.
Women are being told that their babies are just, you know, clumps of cells.
Pre-born blows away that myth by providing free ultrasounds and postnatal care.
Once they've introduced a mother to their unborn child, she's twice as likely to choose life for that child.
And look, they're doing incredible work there.
They need your help, however.
Part of the ministry of pre-born is to stand in the gap to make sure life can actually exist.
When you support pre-born, you not only support women, you empower them, and your donation of $28 will help a woman make the choice, the right choice for life.
Go to preborn.com/slash back or call, dial pound250 and use the keyword baby.
It's pound250.
The keyword is baby for pre-born.
You You got to
make it up.
Got no room to compromise.
We gotta stand together if we're gonna survive.
Stand up straight and hold the line.
You got to
make up.
It's a new day I've turned around.
What you're about to hear
is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Patton Stew for Glenn today.
We got some exciting news about Joe Manchin and his plans for the future.
I can't wait to think.
You're going to be so excited.
We'll get to that and much more in the final hour of the Glenn Beck program today coming up in one minute.
Who's there for the families left behind when a service member or first responder dies or is catastrophically injured in the line of duty?
Who's helping our nation's homeless veterans?
And who's helping our nation keep its vow to never forget 9-11?
I'll tell you who.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
The foundation's In the Line of Duty programs honor our nation's heroes and their family.
That includes its Gold Star, Fallen First Responder, Smart Home, and Homeless Veterans programs.
The foundation's Never Forget programs engage people in 9-11 remembrance events all across the country.
Over 80 runs, walks, and climbs a year, dozens of golf outings and barbecues.
And the Tunnel to Towers 9-11 Institute is helping educate kids in kindergarten through 12th grade about our nation's darkest day.
More than 95 cents of every dollar you donate to Tunnel to Towers goes to its programs, and the charity keeps its word and honors our nation's greatest heroes.
Will you donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers?

That's t the number2t.org.
You remember the debate the other night?
There was a little issue with Vivek and Rona McDaniel, the chairperson of the GOP.
Yeah.
Apparently, a source who was sitting near the GOP chairwoman at the debate the other night
said that
she called Vivek
an a-hole and declared that the party would not be giving him one cent.
He's an a-hole, total a-hole.
He's desperate because he's doing bad in the polls.
He won't be getting a cent from us.
She also loudly booed
during his exchange with Nikki Haley.
She was in complete meltdown mode over Vivek, according to this source.
This was in the middle of the audience within earshot of about 50 people.
And it's really unfortunate because she's done such a great job, hasn't she?
Look at the,
as Vivek pointed out, look at her track record.
It's terrific.
That was another one
of Vivek, where I think it very much connected with a lot of the conservative base and what they think of Ronald McDaniel, but also it did feel like it kind of came out of nowhere.
Yeah.
You know, he just kind of like was just waiting to do it sometimes during the course of the debate.
It did seem it was like, you know, I'm going to go with this at some point.
I know it's going to make news.
And it did.
Yes.
He was correct on that.
And McDaniel was upset about it.
No surprise there.
Right.
I don't think there was any chance that McDaniel was going to give him money anyway.
So
I I don't think Vivek lost out on this one.
No.
But it's just been a
bizarre couple of weeks.
They are doing another debate, by the way, December 6th now, and it's going to be at least one of the moderators is Megan Kelly, and I think she'll do a really good job with that.
So actually, maybe it'll be a good one.
Maybe Trump will show up to that one.
There's a chance that
three people.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Are they setting the standard a little bit higher?
Yeah, it's 6% now.
Okay.
You would say now, the way they phrased it, though, I think it's 6% in two national polls or polls in certain early states.
So as long as you're performing relatively well in one state, you can probably get on there.
Tim Scott may have a problem with that.
But like Chris Christie, I think the way I read the standard at least will probably make it.
So it may still be four unless Trump comes in, then it would be five.
But I don't think there's any reason.
I mean, at this point, Trump's already skipped them all.
Why bother?
Why bother, right?
It's not hurting him.
It's not hurting him.
And the polls.
So the voters don't.
I'd love for him to be part of it.
First of all, it'd be way more entertaining.
More people would see it.
More people would care about it.
And I want to hear his stance on
recent issues.
I want to hear him be challenged on the pandemic stuff, too.
I'd like to see how he'd respond to that.
Yeah, because the problem is he's going to get in a general election against Biden, and everyone's going to agree that he would be better than Biden at that.
So he's not going to have to ever answer that or at least just say, hey, look, this is what I did right.
This is is what I did wrong.
Yeah.
That would be something interesting.
Maybe he addressed that in his big Univision interview that he just did.
He just did an interview with Univision.
Did he just do it or is it coming up?
It's one of the two.
I can't remember.
I thought it was recorded already, but it may
still be a little bit ahead of us.
But
I know I'm very passionate about Univision and love it.
But I didn't know Donald Trump was.
He used to get in fights with Univision all the time, I feel like.
That was the way.
But he's, look, doing so well with Hispanic voters now.
He is.
You know,
he's reaching out and trying to get more.
So that is kind of interesting.
And also interesting was the Joe Manchin thing.
You mentioned it, and it was, you know, look,
you look at this and you say, who cares what Joe Manchin does?
Which is a good,
a pretty natural and honest way of looking at the situation.
Yeah.
But Manchin, of course, is a Democratic senator from West Virginia.
He's a guy, you know, he tries to claim that he's in the middle.
He's a, now, I don't know.
I I see him voting 99% of the time with Democrats.
I don't see him as in the middle at all, frankly.
Whenever the Democrats need him to vote for them,
he's there.
He's always there.
He's a reliable voter.
Look what happened on the
affordable, was it?
No, it's not the Affordable Care Act.
It was the Inflation Reduction Act.
Yep.
He complained, wrote op-eds, said he would never support it over and over and over and over and over.
And really it was the Green Bill.
Yep.
And then he just did.
And he did.
When they needed him to do it, he just did it.
That's what Joe Manchin does.
Yeah.
He acts like he is some moderate to get reelected in West Virginia.
And then
some people fall for it.
He gets the job.
And then he acts just like every other Democrat and votes with them every single time.
So this actually was a pretty significant thing because
he's the only Democrat in West Virginia that he wouldn't even would have a chance of winning re-election.
Now, I don't think he would win re-election, even if he did run.
Which is probably why he's not going to run.
Of course.
He knows.
It's got nothing to do with not wanting more power.
I'll tell you that much.
Geez, no.
But, you know, and it's not like, I just, I'm in the middle and I'm going to start a movement in the middle is kind of his pitch, which is nonsense.
How exciting that is, though, for so many of us.
Wait, a movement in the middle?
Wow.
I love that.
There's nothing I love more than moderation in politics.
I love it.
Oh, yeah.
You know, kind of lukewarm on all things, that's great.
That'd be the best.
Well, why care about what the issue is affecting people?
Let's just kind of cut the difference between the two parties.
Like, for example, Rashida Shalib wants all Jews dead, it seems, and other people want them alive.
So let's kind of cut into the middle, kill half of them.
Whatever the middle position is, let's take that passionately.
Babies are the same way.
You know, let's not kill all of them, but we'll kill some of them.
Yeah, let's kill them.
Let's not kill four of them.
We'll stop four.
That's like the big pro-life movement right now.
It's like, oh, well,
oh, well banana 20 weeks 24 weeks oh okay so that
six abortions don't occur i mean that's great it's better than no abortions not occurring just now what is the percentage over 21 weeks it's about
it's about three percent it's it's two or three percent i i think that's what they'll tell you yeah that's what democrats will tell you when you try to pin them down on is there any restriction that you would favor what they'll say is well i mean if you're talking about partial birth abortion that's so rare rare anyway.
You know what?
So are back alley abortions, and you continue to harp on that all the time.
So give me an answer.
Where should you draw the line?
Should there be a line?
And of course, the answer is no line to them.
They don't want any line.
No, they do not care at all.
And see, I have this, I pull this chart up every once in a while when we're talking about this issue because it's important for particularly pro-lifers to understand.
Because what you get from people like Lindsey Graham, and we saw this with Tim Scott in the debate the other night, hey, 15 weeks.
Look, that's a rational midpoint.
If you look at the polling, it is a rational midpoint.
The polling basically says yes in the first trimester, no in the second trimester.
So you're cutting in between those two trimesters, picking a date a few weeks into the second trimester and saying that's our cutoff.
It's about where
the polling changes.
There's no surprise there.
That's why they're doing it.
They're trying to find a popular position polling.
Well, how many, what percentage?
Let's see.
34% happened between weeks one and six.
Another 18% in week seven.
So now you're up to 54%.
Week eight is 13.
So you're at 67%, right?
I have to keep track of this as I go.
67% by week eight.
Another 9% in week nine.
So you're at 76% by week nine.
Okay.
Another 6% by week 10.
So 82% by week 10.
Another 5% in week 11.
So 87% by 11 weeks.
Another 3% by 12, so you're at 90% by week 12.
Jeez.
3% in week 13.
So you're at 93 by 13.
2% by week 14.
So 95% in week 14.
And another 2% in week 15.
So 97% of abortions would be allowed by that policy.
3% of abortions would be cut out if
you banned it at 15 weeks.
Is that a pro-life policy at all?
No.
No.
No.
I mean, it's better than nothing.
It's better.
Right.
Like, and I, and I don't, in some ways, it's weird because my concern with the 15-week ban, particularly federally, other than the constitutional questions, which are significant.
I mean, we just, they just said, hey, you got to go to the states.
And we're like, oh, how about a federal ban then?
I think you need a constitutional amendment, honestly, to do this the right way.
But if you were to pass it, I do, I am concerned that it would lead to
people thinking that the issue had been decided, right?
Like, I think a lot of pro-lifers would be like, well, we we got the 15-week limit.
Like, those really, you know, that's great.
You know, like, they have some time.
And then, you know, I don't like those abortions before 15 weeks, but at least we eliminated the worst ones.
Well, you did eliminate the worst ones.
I guess the 3% of them.
And now you have 97% of the other ones still there.
Is that a pro-life policy, really?
Cutting it from 100% to 97%?
I think we'll do more than that by just red states going to zero.
If you just pick, you know, 10, 10 of the most red states, they pass a really restrictive ban between zero and four or six weeks, then you'd be in a situation where I think you'd cut it more than 3%.
Anyway, now look, I want to stop them all.
I think abortion is a really terrible thing.
And my view is that eventually it will be viewed like slavery is viewed today, a terrible, terrible mistake of our society.
But we're not there yet.
You take what you can get.
Maybe all you can get in Virginia is 15 or 20 weeks.
If you can get 20 weeks in Virginia and that's all you can get, okay, take it.
And go for more.
Every single year, go for more.
And every single year, there should be some conservative pro-lifer that proposes a constitutional amendment banning abortion.
Why is that not happening every year?
I don't know.
Every single year.
So what if it doesn't work?
So what if it doesn't pass?
Yeah.
It's not your job to take everybody else's opinion and make them do what you want them to do, but you should at least make it available for people to vote for.
But they don't like the politics of it.
And I get it.
The politics aren't wonderful sometimes.
But
what's the most important thing here?
I would argue it's saving babies.
Babies being allowed to be born.
Yeah.
You're never going to go wrong.
You're never going to be on the wrong side of that issue when you err on the side of saving human life.
Yep.
And you might lose an election because of it.
You might lose several.
But at least you did the right thing.
Yeah.
At the end of your life, you're not going to go back and be like, darn it, that Congressional District 12.
What about Congressional District 12?
I should have changed my opinion on abortion because of Congressional District 12.
I can't imagine
your deathbed conversation with your family.
Nope.
I can't imagine it.

10 seconds station ID.
Can we do one more thing on this Joe Manchin story, which is fascinating?
He drops out of the Senate race.
By the way, the reason why this is so significant, we got sort of derailed on the abortion issue, but the reason why this is so significant is because they only have 51 senators right now.
Losing Manchin drops them to 50, and it means they have to defend all of their other seats to hold a 50-50 Kamala Harris type of majority.
That's if they win the presidency.
So we're talking the entire, it is a huge deal that he's not running because the chances of him winning while not high, were still significant, maybe 20, 30%.
So him going away is a big deal.
But But what is he going to do next?
This is interesting.
He's been asked over and over again, is he going to try to run as the no labels third-party candidate?
And there is a rumor going around Washington circles, and
there was a very suspiciously timed super PAC type of thing created that basically is a draft Romney Mansion
to run as the third-party no labels candidate.
So that's the that's the movement to the middle
of Romney as the presidential candidate.
Okay.
And Manchin as the VP.
Oh, my gosh.
What a nightmare.
I mean, first of all, a nightmare.
That would not be a good.
That would not work out well for America.
However, it's fascinating because
no labels, which is
seemingly obsessed with not having labels, has kind of come out and said, well, if we're going to run a presidential candidate, it'll be a Republican.
Now, wait a minute.
I thought you didn't like labels.
And obviously the issue here is they want Donald Trump not to be president.
Like that's their main concern, seemingly.
Now, if Mitt Romney runs as a third-party candidate, RFK Jr.
is already running as a third party, I mean, or independent candidate.
I mean, this would be really, you'd get to the point where this has got to be chaos.
Like, we have not had two
significant
third-party candidates in a long time.
And the one time you might say we had it was probably 2000, where like you had, I mean, you didn't have a major Ross Perot level candidate, but you did have several smaller candidates in a very close election, where obviously Ralph Nader famously, you know, to the left,
taking enough votes that would theoretically Gore could have won Florida and won the election.
You know, you go, there have been years where you have a Ross Perot type and you have, you know, libertarians behind that, but you haven't had two that could challenge double double digits in polls.
I mean, Mitt Romney would probably do that.
RFK Jr.
is already doing it.
Yeah.
What would happen in that scenario?
I don't even know.
I mean, that would be really untested waters.
Scary because I think,
and it's been shown in polls, that RFK Jr.
hurts Trump as well as Biden.
Yeah, it's pretty, it's been interesting.
And then Romney would hurt him even more.
I think Romney would hurt Trump more than would hurt Biden.
RFK is a little split like i would say the majority of the polls so far have seen slightly more damage to biden but some polls have showed it to trump as well i think it could go either way a gun to my head i'd say right now it looks like it might hurt biden a little bit more but i don't think that would be that would not be the case with romney no it wouldn't i think romney would would hurt trump a lot more I think you'd have a lot of people, you know, even if it's a lot is 5%, that's huge
in the presidential election.
Romney has decided he's too old to continue to govern.
So you would think, all right, well, then that precludes him certainly from running for president.
Right?
You'd think.
Because we already got two old guys running for president.
Trump's 77.
Biden's going to be 81.
Manchin's also, what, 78 or something, isn't he?
A week from Monday, Joe Biden turns 81.
The youth of this campaign is RFK Jr., who's 69.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's our youth movement, right?
It's our youth movement right now.
I mean, look, I...
Except for, of course, Vivek, who has no chance.
But that's.
Also, I mean, if you look at the Republican field, there actually are.
I mean, DeSantis is young.
Haley is relatively young.
We know from Don Lemon, she's past her prime, but she's relatively young.
You know, Vivek, obviously, is super young.
I mean, he's not even in 40 yet.
38 years old.
He's barely constitutionally eligible to be president, let alone maybe seasoned to the fact of.
He's graduated from high school yet.
Really?
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, it's incredible.
He's a junior.
He's a junior.
So what happens if the election is at the same time as the junior prom?
Do we know which one he goes to?
He goes to the prom.
He goes to the prom.
Yeah.
But yeah, I mean, look, Tim Scott is much younger.
The Republican field has a lot of good candidates in it.
Yeah.
And look, Trump,
Trump's interesting because he is older.
He's 77.
He will be.
He's still spry enough to where you think, okay, it's not bad.
He's still got some life left in him.
At the end of this term, he will be the same age, basically, as Joe Biden is now, which we all kind of recognize is maybe not ideal.
However, no one sees Trump in that way.
They don't see him as too old because he seems like he's on top of things.
We brought up Alan Dershowitz before, who's been on the program many times.
He's 85.
And you listen to Alan Dershowitz talk, he is much more coherent than 90% of the people on TV that are in their 30s, 40s, and 50s.
You know, like, it's not the number at all.
It's the incoherence.
It's the lack of energy.
It's the incompetence.
It's all these things that combine dementia.
That I believe he really suffers from.
And he, I don't know, if they got some kind of drug that, you know, pumps him up at certain times of the day.
I think as the day wears on,
he struggles even more.
But watch him when he tries to get off stage after a speech.
He never knows what happened.
Every single time he's lost.
He's lost.
And they've just given him directions.
Mr.
President, go this way.
Somebody be waiting for you here.
Exit stage right, exit stage left, whatever the case may be.
And he can't do it.
They write it on a paper for him.
He still doesn't know how to do it.
It's amazing.

He's at a Tony Robbins conference, right?
And apparently he did the the big, if you know anything about Tony Robbins, you know,
during his presentation, he does a, you walk over fire or whatever, the firewalk.
The firewalk.
Yeah, the fire walk.
You walk on hot coals.
And Glenn just did that.
I can't believe he actually did this.
And here's what happened.
I can't believe he did that.
What a maniac.
It is ridiculous.
He actually did it.
He walked over to the hot collar.
I can't wait to ask him about it.
I know.
Because I don't know.
I have heard so many different things about that.
Like some people say it's not even real.
Like there's some scam.
Like you're not actually doing it.
And I'm sure that is the case at some of these, not Tony Robbins stuff, but like, you know, I'm sure that's the case at some of these like type of spectacles, right?
Like they just make it look like you're doing something crazy and you're not.
Yeah.
But I mean, as far as everything I've heard about the Tony Robbins stuff is people actually do this.
Yeah.
Doesn't it burn your feets?
Your feet are all burned.
If you do it right.
Your toesies.
I guess not.
I guess not.
What do you mean you do it right?
What does that even mean?
Do it right.
Well, putting your skin on hole.
If you walk really slowly and stop in the middle, that's not going to go well for you.
Not a good idea.
But if you hustle across it and you just have the faith that nothing's going to happen.
I can't wait to ask him about this.
I don't know.
I don't understand.
It's going to be interesting to hear what it was like, but it looks like he was having quite the time.
So that's where he is.
He's going to be back on Monday, we think, unless he has no feet.
And then maybe
there'll be some complicated surgeries going on on Monday.
But it's possible.
He looked okay in the video.
He seemed pumped up about it.
It's a perfect thing.
If you're going to meme a video today, I don't know what the meme is, but you got to watch that video and watch Glenn in it because it's hilarious.
He's like beating his chest.
He's all fired up.
You know,
he's been friends with Tony Robbins for a while.
And I don't know.
I think he likes a lot of what he says.
And so that'll be interesting to hear.
This story will be a fascinating one on Monday.
Do not miss Monday show.
Speaking of memes,
Douglas Mackey did a meme a few years ago.
And he's just been sentenced to seven months in prison for a meme he did.
Well, you can't meme.
Yeah.
I mean, how can you allow people, Americans, to
post memes?
You can't.
It was a meme involving Hillary Clinton, and it was one of those dumb things about the vote and, like, to avoid the crowds,
if you're a Hillary fan, you vote tomorrow.
I don't know, something like that.
But here he was.
Here's Douglas Mackey on with Tucker Carlson discussing what happened.
At any point, did you think that you'd committed a crime or that others would think that you committed a crime?
No.
When did you discover that you were considered a felon by the U.S.
government?
Well, I had eight to ten law enforcement agents come and lock on my door at 7 a.m.
That'll do it.
Seven days after Joe Biden was inaugurated.
Eight to ten.
Did you have any warning that this was coming?
No, no warning.
So what were you doing at seven in the morning?
I was sleeping.
So you're asleep, you hear a knock, and then what happens?
And then the FBI,
are you Doug Mackey?
Yes.
What's going on?
Like, I asked them,
they said, we have a warrant for your arrest.
I said, what what for?
For what?
They didn't tell me until I got to the courthouse.
Talk about being fired up.
This guy's on fire.
The FBI threw handcuffs on you at your home at 7 in the morning and didn't tell you why.
Yes.
Did you have any idea why?
No, I had no idea.
What was going through your mind?
I knew that
politicians could be vindictive, and the federal government sometimes could be influenced by those politicians.
But
and I know that they can sort of get very creative with federal statutes.
So, if I was the enemy of their candidate, then I thought maybe
they could cook something up.
But this was an entire election cycle later.
That was the weird part.
But I knew that we had just had a transition of presidents.
So.
So, seven days after Biden gets inaugurated, you get arrested for a tweet
four years earlier.
Four years earlier.
But the tweet must have been really bad, right?
How bad was the tweet, Pat?
Do you know?
It was, it was,
I'm looking for the exact verbiage on the tweet because,
yeah, it was, it was rough.
It was, let's see.
Does it say exactly what it was?
It was.
It would have been too hateful to reprint.
Misinformation on the 2016 election.
Okay.
2016.
The 2016 election.
He was sentenced to seven months in prison for it.
He was originally charged in early 2021.
And I still haven't seen the exact
exact
meme that came out.
Now, of course, we should point out, it doesn't matter what the exact meme is.
You don't get arrested for memeing.
You shouldn't.
It's not a crime.
Yeah, you should not.
That should not be what a crime.
In the United States of America,
it was clearly satire.
It was a joke that because there's going to be so many people voting today, vote for Hillary Clinton.
I believe it was vote for her tomorrow.
Yeah, like one of those.
Something like that.
It wasn't a threat against her life.
It wasn't anything like that.
It was a dumb thing that, like we've done a million times.
I mean, you speak for yourself.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't.
I've always, I never have said anything.
Like in 2004,
come to mind stew with a loudspeaker going through neighborhoods in Philadelphia.
That is not, what you just said is a lie and slanderous.
It's a lot.
It's slanderous.
Hey.
First of all, we were in Ohio, But secondly,
it was a giant waffle head saying those things.
John O'Kare wasn't careful
saying all sorts of crazy things about the election.
It wasn't you.
But it's funny, man.
I mean, can you imagine that?
We could be in prison for that.
You could be in prison for you.
Again, I don't know what you're talking about.
You could be in prison for a lot of things you've done, maybe.
I don't agree with your analysis on this situation whatsoever.
But what I will say.
Yeah.
What will you say?
I will say is that this person also should not be in prison.
Unreal.
Here we go.
Let's see if I can find it here because I'm getting sent.
Everyone's now sending me this exact tweet.
Here it is.
Vote for her.
Vote from home.
Post
from home.
Okay.
Using hashtag presidential election.
On November 8th.
And that's not what you do.
No.
No, if you're that stupid that you fall for that, you shouldn't be voting.
You shouldn't be voting anyway.
Come on.
You shouldn't be voting anyway.
It said on November 8th or whatever the date was, it's a little blurry.
Type the word Hillary and post it to Twitter or Facebook using the hashtag presidential election between 7 a.m.
and 9 p.m.
Eastern to cast your vote for Hillary from home, stronger together,
presented by HillaryClinton.com.
Seriously.
Is there anybody
obviously
obvious satire, obvious joke, protected speech in the United States of America, and they're saying it's not now because it was misinformation on the election.
My gosh.
Here's part.
Here's another part of the conversation between Tucker and Douglas Mackey.
Turns out your crime was exactly what you said it was, posting a tweet.
So what happened then?
So they took me to the courthouse and
because it was COVID, there were some delays.
I just, I was in a holding cell.
They take off your handcuffs and put you in leg irons.
And then you just wait for your arraignment, go for the judge.
Even then, I still don't know why I'm being arrested.
They got a public defender on Zoom speaking for you.
And then.
Wait, you're in leg irons and you have no idea why you were arrested.
Yeah, exactly.
And
not until I got
a copy of the criminal complaint did I know what was going on.
At what point was that?
After the arraignment, and then they let you go.
They take the leg irons off and and they put you on the streets of West Palm Beach.
They didn't bring you home?
No.
Wow.
So weird.
And the reason why, because it's easy to say, well, this is what Biden does.
This is what our government is these days.
And that's true, right?
That's the reason why this is a big story.
However, a million people post things that are way worse than that and don't get arrested.
Like, why this guy?
Right.
Why this guy?
I mean,
we get threats every single day on social media.
No one arrests those people.
right and then no one seems to care at all why this guy why four or five years later how is it possible that that this could happen in the united states of america there's no shortage right now of people claiming they want to kill all jews on social media no shortage of that whatsoever those people don't get arrested no and honestly like there also are people saying really bad things about president biden there are people who are saying really bad things about leftists all over the place too and they don't get like why this guy why did this happen Because of a stupid meme?
Crazy.
I mean, it is, that's a, it's a really weird story.
It, yeah, it really is.
Uh, and, you know, seemingly unconstitutional.
Yeah.
I don't understand how it can happen.
And I know, like you said, I, I know we've come to a place in America that we don't even recognize now, but it's still, even now, in this environment, hard to believe this has actually happened to this guy.
Seven months in prison for a meme?
Unbelievable.
Really something.
All right, 888-727-B-E-C-K, more patents, Stu for Glenn, coming up.
All right, so they say that a dog is man's best friend, and that's, of course, a relationship that you have to take seriously.
If you're a pet owner, you not only want your dog to be healthy and happy, but you're also responsible to make sure that that can happen to the best of your abilities.
And that means you have to be aware of what your dog is eating and just how much nutrition they're actually getting out of it.
Kibble food, for instance, has all the living nutrients cooked out of it.
And that's a great case for rough greens.
It's not dog food.
It's a supplement that has been developed by a naturopathic doctor, Dennis Black.
You just sprinkle this on the top of your dog's food.
Your dog's going to love the taste.
Every dog I know of.
absolutely devours this stuff because they love it.
Brown food is dead food.
You want the greens.
You name it.
If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in Rough Greens.
Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love this.
They have a special deal for you.
Go to roughgreens.com/slash back, or you could call 833-Glenn33 and they're going to give you your first trial bag absolutely free.
That's absolutely free.
All you have to pay for is the shipping.
So call 833-Glenn33.
That's 833-G-L-E-N-N-33.

Glenn back.

Have you heard about the new movie The Blind?
The true story of the Robertson family.
These, of course, are our friends, the Robertsons.
We've got a show here on Blaze TV.
They also got a movie made of their life, and it is now available for purchase on Blaze TV.
Now, this is not a Blaze TV production.
This is like a major studio release that just came out.
So it's not like we don't own this.
This is something that we don't have rights to as far as showing it to you as part of your Blaze TV subscription, unfortunately.
But, you know, if you're going to buy it,
you know, you could buy it from Amazon.
You could buy it from Apple and give a bunch of money to big tech companies.
Or you can buy it from us.
It's available now.
I I feel like a lot of people might say, I think I'd rather support the Blaze than support Apple or Amazon.
You can act now.
Don't miss the opportunity to own The Blind, a Phil Robertson story.
It's on Blaze TV.
Buy it today at Blazetv.com slash TheBlind.
It's 1999.
Blazetv.com slash The Blind.
I have not seen it yet, but I've heard Glenn saw it.
He said it was an incredible movie, and they did a really good job with it.
It was a major motion picture, and it's available now on The Blaze.
All right.
Speaking of streaming services, you see that Disney just hit 150 million subscribers on Disney Plus,
and they still lost $385 million this quarter.
This is a good business.
Yeah, it's a good business.
It's going well.
Yeah, it's a good thing.
It's like electric cars.
It's just a great business for everybody.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
Maybe it's good.
And like with electric cars, there's one company that does okay, like Tesla and Netflix.
They do okay with the profits.
Everyone else seems to be getting crushed by this.
Look, if you have 150 million subscribers, all paying $14 to $16 a month, and you can't make that work, something's wrong in your company.
Yeah.
Something's wrong.
What is going on?
I want to rethink it a little bit.
You know, it is really expensive.
Everybody's raising their prices now.
Did you notice it?
Netflix is now $15.50 for
the, I don't know what they call it.
Their basic.
Is that, I think it's the basic plan.
The premium plan is now over $20 a month.
So if you have Disney and Netflix, I mean, you're talking about $35 right there.
Add Amazon to that.
That's another $15 a month.
Hulu, I think, is $15 a month.
Peacock is only $6.
But what do you get on Peacock?
You ever had Peacock?
Do you have Peacock?
I don't have Peacock.
I had it before.
I've never had it.
Jackie just dropped it because she's like, we watched Peacock.
We're not getting paid for Peacock anymore.
It's $6.
I'm not paying $6 for Peacock anymore.
All right, whatever.
Paramount Plus,
$12.
MGM Plus, $6.
Apple TV Plus, I think, is $10.
So when you start adding all of that up, it's a lot.
And it's really obviously back to the point where you just could just get cable.
It's so obvious that it was going to happen, and it just happened right in front of us.
It's happened.
Yeah.
We're there.
We're there.
It's just really expensive now to get all these services and they tempt you.
They bring in.
I almost refuse to pay for them sometimes without really good deals.
You know, like,
I feel like they all are offering like free years all the time.
Like, it feels weird to pay for them.
And I have one of my credit cards gives free
access to, you know, like Netflix and Amazon Prime and all this stuff.
And so they pay for it.
So half of the stuff I don't even pay for.
But like, I got like, you know, a year free with like my phone when I signed up to for, and I got like Disney Plus for a year.
And, like, I don't even know.
Like, I, I think, you know, people are like, well, you shouldn't have Disney Plus because it's so bad.
Actually, I'm screwing them.
I'm not paying them a dime and I'm still watching their shows.
So, screw you, Disney.
What do you watch on Disney?
Oh, well, you got kids.
I have kids.
You got little kids.
So, yeah, you got them.
But they do have, I mean, I have all the Star Wars stuff.
Not that
I'm not into this new Star Wars stuff at all.
Like, the Gina Carano thing really blew up my relationship with Star Wars.
I cannot bring myself to get interested in anything anything they're doing.
The fact that they fired her over nothing is so infuriating.
It is.
I can't watch it anymore.
It is.
It's really legitimately ruined a series that I like.
I know, it's too bad.
Yeah.
It's too bad.
All right, Glenn should be returning with no skin on the bottom of his feet on Monday.
The Glenn back program.
