Thank you so much, Hillary.

Let me tell you a little bit about rough greens.

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Well, that's true.

It really is because

my dog now just lays down on the floor and I'm like, go get the ball.

And he looks up and puts his head up and then he lays it back down on the floor like, I am so done with you.

You can get them, however, to eat.

And that was a real trick for me because Uno would never eat.

I don't know if your dog is like this, but oh my gosh, I put rough greens on it.

And that, you know, Dr.

Des Black, he's the naturopathic doctor that came up with rough greens.

And he's like, it's going to make your dog so healthy, you're going to see some healthy change.

I said, I just want him to eat.

That's all I want him to do is eat.

Put it on it, put rough greens on his kibble food, and he wolfs it down.

He loves to eat.

And I saw a huge change in his energy, in quite frankly, in his attitude, mister.

So you can try rough greens, r-u-f-fgreens.com slash beck, roughgreens.com slash beck.

You get your first bag, a trial bag for free.

Just call 833-G-L-E-N-N-33.

That's roughgreens.com slash Beck or 833-GLEN33.

All right, we begin the radio program in just a minute.

Stand by.

You got to

make it up.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's the cornerstone line.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day I've turned around.

You gotta stand together, it's the colours of life.

What you're about to hear

is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Well, let me just start with this.

Praise Jesus.

It's Friday and we begin our national radio program in 60 seconds.

Now I'm a big fan of sleep.

Shocker, right?

You know, I believe youth is wasted on the young because

Do you remember when you could sleep and somebody could pick you up, carry you out, put you in a car, you'd sleep during the ride home, they'd pick you up, put you in bed, and the next morning you'd wake up and like, how did I get here?

Now,

I mean, I can't sleep.

It's like three hours of sleep and I'm up.

Well, I guess I got to go feed the chickens.

Dad, we don't have any chickens.

I know that.

I think that's the only reason why old people had chickens and stuff because they were like, I gotta get up at three o'clock in the morning and do something because I can't sleep.

Anyway, if you have a hard time sleeping may i suggest relief factor sleep uh relief factor sleep uh give it a shot my wife and i both use it she uses it more sometimes i think she's like no i'm really tired

Anyway, relief factor sleep.

Get healthy sleep by reducing anxiety and distress and improving mood, promoting relaxation.

I could use some of it now, quite frankly.

It's $19.95.

The first bottle is $19.95, $20 to get the great feeling of relaxation.

I mean, I'm not going to try to pick you up and carry you into the car to see if you wake up, but you'll have a good night's sleep.

Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800, the number four relief.

800, the number four relief.

It's relieffactor.com.

Dream big, sleep tight, relief factor.

Sleep, relieffactor.com.

Well, hello, Stu.

How are you?

Wonderful, Glenn.

How are you?

Oh,

my gosh.

I have to tell you, I am really good because I'm up where things make sense.

I am

at the ranch today,

in the mountains, tucked away, farmers surrounding me.

The world makes sense.

It makes sense.

And then I have to drag myself out of bed at 4 o'clock in the morning here and

then read things that I don't understand at all.

Britt Hume last night said, the president, I think this is the best speech he may have ever delivered in his life.

Britt, were you watching the speech?

Because I got up this morning at 4 a.m.

to watch it.

And

wow,

if that's the best speech he's ever given, we have very low standards.

We'll get into that.

Also,

Stu,

I had to fly out right after the show yesterday.

Then I landed because I had about 3,500, 4,000 people coming to a speech I was giving that I hadn't written

and got on the plane, got off, then did some, you know, fundraising and meet and greet and everything else, and then gave the speech, then got here about midnight last night.

And I keep asking people in like 30-second sound bites because I can't, I don't have enough time.

But today, I got three hours, and I want to see if you can actually explain what the hell is happening in the house.

This is what I heard.

I don't know if it's true, but I heard that there's another vote today,

and Jim Jordan is back as the guy.

And now McCarthy is going to give the speech and saying, you know, we should all vote for Jim.

That's not possibly true, is it?

Yeah, those are the rumors, at least.

I've now, there was so much back and forth.

You kind of have to rewind.

We started yesterday with Jordan saying he wanted another vote, and and he definitely did not want to push through this McHenry temporary thing until January.

Then we got another.

Can I just say, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Before you go on that, I just have to say this.

Has anyone actually looked at the Constitution?

I don't think you can just have a,

hey, we need an extra.

Do we have an extra that can just sit in that chair?

I don't think so.

That's.

Now, just this will never happen because everybody's the picture of health and there's no deep state or anything else.

But imagine that Joe Biden, again, picture of health.

Let's say he's hit by a moonrock

and he dies suddenly.

That makes Kamala Harris our president.

Let's say that just doesn't go well for some reason and another moonrock comes out of the sky.

Then the guy who nobody really knows that wears a bow tie that was an extra, could you just keep this seat warm, becomes the president of the United States.

I don't know that's a good idea.

He can't be.

I don't think that's how it would happen.

Honestly, I think they would skip it.

If there's not an actual Speaker of the House, I think the Speaker of the House would be skinny.

So then what do we do?

We go to the Interior Secretary.

No, we go to the next step.

Who's the president then?

I think it's Patty Murray

who's next in line after that.

She's the Senate pro tem.

She would be the next one in line.

And then I think he was.

Oh, then

I was looking.

We wake up in the morning.

We wake up.

Let's just say Tuesday morning.

We wake up and everybody's like, President Murray is going to address the nation today.

And you're like, who?

What?

What?

Who?

Well,

she was next in line.

She was the Senate pro tem.

The pro what?

Is that like a football team pro?

What the hell is that?

She's a professional temp.

What does pro temp mean?

I don't know.

Professional temp.

You're right, Clennam.

That's exactly what it means.

But then

after that, we're like Kelly Girl.

After that, it's like

Janet Yellen is one of the next ones online.

Can you imagine waking up one day?

Look at this.

Look at this.

Look at this.

Look at this.

I mean,

you want chaos.

Think of that.

Let's just say a meteor lands on the White House and you lose Biden, which could happen without the meteor.

So you could lose Biden and you lose the vice president.

The next in line would be somebody with a bow tie who would go, no, I don't think you should give it to me.

And the rest of America would go, yeah, you're right, we shouldn't.

Until they introduce you to Patty, whatever her name is.

And you're like, I don't even know who that is.

What are you talking about?

She can't be the president.

Not good.

We should point out before it gets to Janet Yellen, you got Anthony Blinken running things.

So.

Oh, my gosh.

It's a good group.

Oh, my gosh.

Think of that.

Think of that.

I mean, America, if that doesn't scare you to the bone, I mean, because we're in a very volatile situation.

Very volatile situation.

There could be a terrorist attack.

There could be, you know, just a, he's overcome by you know i gotta sleep and he goes for a dirt nap i mean anything could happen

very true by the way you know he's wearing a mask right

oh is he

yeah oh you haven't seen this oh the proof is out online he's wearing one of those rubber masks because it's not him oh so wait wait somebody else it's not like a covid mask he's wearing a like a rubber halloween mask no he's wearing like a halloween he's like wearing a mission Impossible mask.

Oh, okay.

It's somebody who's pretending to be him.

Now, I would just ask, if you're pretending to be him,

I don't know, could you upgrade the performance a little bit?

I mean,

you know, if you're a professional actor and you can do his voice and everything else, I don't know.

Do I have to play him this way?

Do I have to be a complete and competent boob?

I'd say no.

I'd say the motivation to be the worst president we've ever had.

Why wouldn't he try to be good?

I don't understand this role at all.

I guess that's where you would be.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, that's where you would be.

But he's not wearing a mask.

It's actually him.

And his motivation is to destroy the United States of America.

At least that's what his handlers want to do.

You know, the person who's actually running him,

that's what they are, but they're telling him every day.

Oh, is this going well?

Bidenomics, woo!

People love it.

They sure do.

26% of them think it's doing good for the economy.

Look at the latest pollout.

By the way, Glenn, we know the order of succession when it comes to the President of the United States.

We just went through it.

The order of succession for the Speaker of the House works a little differently.

And the way it works is Kevin McCarthy, when he was named Speaker, wrote a secret list of names.

And we find out as we go down the list who the Speaker might be.

So the first one was McHenry.

No one knew that until it was announced except Kevin McCarthy.

And he has a list of names.

We don't even know how many are on it.

So if McHenry steps down, which by the way, he threatened to do yesterday, we don't even know if there's another name on the list, let alone who it is.

Well, of course there is somebody else on the list.

There's not enough secret lists in our government for me, you know?

So let me get back to, I don't know why you keep changing the subject and going off the rails.

You are riddled with ADD.

I just want to know what's so what's happening with Jim Jordan today

and I was in the middle of answering actually going to endorse him and got through one whatever one sentence what America heard

go ahead are you going to stop at any point and let me say this no is that going to happen okay so McCarthy's already said he won he's already voted for Jordan he's already he's already endorsed him he's already said he should be the guy next he keeps doing this and he's not getting his loyalists to come along with him.

The idea here, with McCarthy speaking about it, is supposedly to convince those holdouts.

Now, how

genuine is that?

I mean, I don't know.

I think he wants this over with, just like a lot of other people do.

Yeah, you're not really a loyalist if you're like,

I'm an absolute Glenn

loyalist.

Hey, guys, can we just get along?

I really need you to vote for this guy.

Are you crazy?

No way.

You're not really a loyalist.

Well, you know what I mean?

Unless, unless,

unless

that person that you're being loyal to is actually saying, I really, hey, everybody, I really want you to vote for him.

You vote for him and you're dead to me.

Everybody vote for him.

Yeah, it could be.

I mean, look, there's a

path for McCarthy to get this gig back.

And I think they all know that.

They all, I mean, mean, it's a possibility.

It's certainly one of the top, let's say, five possibilities.

It's certainly one of those.

And, you know, he already got the 217 votes previously.

He's not going to win Matt Gates back over, but could he win over a few of those eight that voted against him last time?

It's possible.

Could he get a couple of Democrats to be like, this is ridiculous.

Let's just move on with our lives and get McCarthy back in there.

It's possible.

So you could see there's motivation for him to not get a full-time speaker named.

Now, look, I'm not saying that's what he's doing.

He's outwardly been helping Jordan.

The reporting behind the scenes is that he's been actually trying to counsel Jordan through this.

How can you win people over?

But you just never know in Washington how real that is.

Like, is he really helping or is he just screwing the guy over?

Who knows?

Yeah, I mean, I really, you know what I like, and I think most Americans do.

You know, they get up in the morning and they're trying to make ends meet.

They've worked a hard week and they get up and they're, you know, they're listening to a couple of boobs that just do not deserve their job.

Especially one of them.

He's more in the producer role.

But

they're listening to this and they're saying to themselves,

I don't think these people care about our country at all.

Not at all.

Not at all.

When they are

hired to represent the people.

And when they go in and then they're like, I'm not going to vote because I don't like the way he treated me.

No, I don't like him.

He once, you know what?

He told me to meet him after class one day behind the Capitol and he was going to beat me up.

And no, I don't like that.

I mean,

he stole my milk money.

These guys apparently just don't care about the country.

This is not going to bode well for them.

But I think they are so wildly out of touch with the American people that they these

these rhinos

actually think

that we're doing the work of the people you know what the people want the people want to shut the house down you know they don't want us to talk about a budget deal they're happy with the budget and the way it's working you know that's that's that's my constituency likes that

I don't think so I don't think so.

But

what do I know?

I'm the incompetent boob that's on the radio that you're scratching your head going, and I work hard for my money.

And look at these guys.

So I don't know.

Very fair point, by the way.

Although I will say, I think I've earned my money today because I've come up with a way to solve this.

Okay, good, good, good.

All right, hang on.

Let me take a one-minute break.

I don't want to interrupt you, but I will.

And you give me the solution.

We'll do that here in just a second.

Stand by.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour, and my computer just shut down.

This is a, you know, honestly,

this is a great national radio program.

Seriously, we take it seriously here.

Anyway, American Financing is our sponsor.

The holiday is coming up.

Oh, that's great.

You know, when I got up this morning, I thought, you know what I want to do?

I want to heap another shovel of rocks on the listener's back.

So the best I could do today was, hey, but don't worry, holiday shopping's right around the corner.

It'll be great.

Anyway, a lot of people are going to dump everything onto their credit card.

Please try not to do it, but I know what it's like to be poor at Christmas time.

And

you start to buy into all of these commercial lies that, you know.

Oh, my kids, I am not a very good dad.

I can't.

Shut up.

Shut up.

That's Krampus, the evil side of Santa, who just wants to make money telling you those lies.

Anyway, look, if you are underwater, especially if you have high interest credit card bills, you might be helped by American Financing and doing a mortgage refi.

If you can get, you know, that $10,000 credit card bill and it's at 25% interest, if you can get that down to 8% interest, that's going to save you a lot of money and all of it is tax deductible at that point.

So please call American Financing, see if it's right for you.

AmericanFinancing.net, AmericanFinancing.net.

Call 800-906-2440, 800-906-20440.

American Financing, NMLS, 182334.

For Jeffy to say something stupid like that.

And then we break for station identification.

All right, okay.

I'm ready.

You ready for the solution?

Let's seven degrees from Hakeem What's his face?

Okay, go ahead.

There's gonna be some supplies needed for this, okay?

I want to make you aware of this to start.

Number one,

you have to make sure your printers are full around the office with paper.

Need paper.

You're gonna need at least a couple hundred slices of paper, okay?

You're gonna fill that up.

Do you have ink in those printers?

You gotta make sure there's ink in the printers.

Yeah, okay, got ink in the printers, okay?

Just checked it.

We're gonna need, let's say, 225 pens, a few extra.

Maybe one of them doesn't work we need about 225 pens okay what we're going to do is we're going to take we're going to take the some one of the secretaries and they're going to go sorry administrative assistants and they're going to go and they're going to print out a piece of paper on this piece of paper is going to have the names of every single Republican representative

Then we are going to take all those papers and we're going to get all the Republicans in a room together and we're going to each we're going to hand them each one piece of paper and on each piece of paper has every Republican name that is in Congress right now.

And then what we're going to do is hand each individual member a pen and each individual member is then going to spend the next 10, 15 minutes circling every single name they would vote for on this list.

Every single one.

If it's Thomas Massey, if it's, I don't know, who doesn't matter what it is, you just pick every single one.

You might circle the entire thing and say, I would vote for every single one of them.

You might circle an entire column.

You might circle just a few names that you happen to like.

Maybe you might just circle yourself and that's it.

And when you're done, everyone hands them in and you see if anyone in this entire group can actually get 217 votes.

Because if not, what do we, we may just, might as well unplug the machine and turn the country off.

because certainly I don't think there's anybody in there that would get it, but at least you would know.

And then you'd have, let's say, there's five people.

You could put all five of them up there and vote and vote and vote and vote and vote until someone gets through.

That's my recommendation here.

You have no idea.

No one seems to have any path to 217 votes.

Let's give it a whirl.

Circling things is fun.

Remember doing it in kindergarten?

Now you can do it here in Congress.

That's my plan.

Can we have pictures of the people in case we can't read?

Yeah.

That's a great idea.

There's probably some of those that would need a picture.

I don't pick.

I need picture to circle.

I like him.

I like him.

He's a senator.

But I like him.

Okay.

All right.

Thank you.

This is not going to work out well for if they don't pick somebody.

It's not going to work out well for them in the next election because the election really, I think in many ways, is being decided right now.

Right now.

People are watching.

People are looking.

The president is giving horrible speeches, but you know, people are like, I love him.

He's going to get us through war.

He's going to get us into war, but then he's going to get us through war until it doesn't work out.

And then it's going to act like it's going to be like Afghanistan.

And let's not think this one through too much.

I like him.

And they're deciding right now, Republicans are deciding, can I even vote for a Republican?

If I give them power, will they actually

do anything?

The time to prove it is today, Republicans.

It's today.

The Glenn Beck program.

Stu, I have to tell you, guess who got Mitt Romney's embargoed book?

Uh-huh.

Oh, really?

I have excerpts.

Yeah, I got the whole book.

Oh, it's crazy.

Anyway, maybe I'll share that with you.

It would be wrong of me to do it, but maybe I'll share it with you soon.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's Patriot Mobile.

Patriot Mobile is a company that

is built on the foundation of restoring the country.

They are a Christian conservative company.

that states in their mission statement, you should read their mission statement, it's unbelievable, states in their mission statement,

we are going to do everything we can.

I mean, it's a lot more flowery than this.

We're going to do everything we can to restore the principles and the things that we were founded on.

Now, how do they do that?

Well, they're making money the old-fashioned way, providing a great service at a great price, and then they're taking some of those earnings and they're applying it to getting the right things done in Washington and on your local level.

Patriot Mobile switched today.

Patriot Mobile.

Go to patriotmobile.com slash Beck.

Patriot Mobile.com slash Beck or call 972 Patriot.

All right, more in a minute.

I'm going to go to Assistance for Gaza.

Hello, welcome.

Actually, cut seven, Sarah, anti-Semitism.

The president spoke yesterday, and oh, he's electric.

He is electric.

I swear to you, you know, online, there are people saying, it's not him, man.

He's wearing a, this is an imposter wearing a rubber mask.

No, it's not.

It is clearly Jeff Dunham's puppet.

The angry guy, he's got the same look as that puppet has with his mean, angry eyes.

And he's like, okay.

Anyway, it was electrifying.

He wanted to get on the program and say,

hey, Israel, Israel, Israel, we really need to send more money to Ukraine.

And what he's doing is he's tying the two of them together.

So, you know, if you want to help Israel, well, you have to help Ukraine.

And you have to help Ukraine in an even bigger way.

Because what Hamas did,

I mean, it might have been Vladimir Putin.

You don't know.

It was horrible.

Then he gave a little tip of the hat to anti-Semitism.

He's like, you know, there are people who are afraid to wear their Jewish stars around their neck.

And then he went into stories about, you know, Islamophobia.

Here he is last night from the Oval.

In recent years, too much hate has given too much oxygen, fueling racism, the rise of anti-Semitism, Islamic phobia, right here in America.

It's also intensified in the wake of recent events that led to the horrific threats and attacks that both shock us and break our hearts.

On October 7th, terror attacks have triggered deep scars and terrible memories in the Jewish community.

Today, Jewish families worried about being targeted in school, wearing symbols of their faith, walking down the street, or going out about their daily lives.

And I know many of you in the Muslim American community, the Arab American community, the Palestinian American community, and so many others are outraged and hearted, saying to yourselves, here we go again with Islamophobia

and distrust we saw after 9-11.

Just like

my mother was brutally stabbed.

A little boy, here in the United States, a little boy who just turned six years old was murdered.

in their home outside of Chicago.

His name...

Wait, was that because of

gun violence or?

Wadia.

A proud American.

Wadia.

A proud Palestinian American family.

Proud Palestinian.

You can't stand by and stand silent when this happens.

No.

We must, without equivocation,

stop for a second.

Who is suggesting that we stand quiet while a six-year-old gets killed?

Is there anyone?

I mean, exactly.

No one is.

No, no one is suggesting that.

And that's because you're standing there silently.

What?

No, I'm not standing there silently.

If you are speaking,

I oppose the murder of all six-year-olds.

I don't know if I needed to be clear about that.

I don't want them dead.

I want them to be alive.

You know what else I want to be alive?

One-year-olds and actually people

in the womb that haven't even been born yet.

I want them to be alive, too.

It's just a little thing.

It's amazing how many.

Amazing how many people we want to be alive, isn't it?

I mean, there's a lot.

I don't want to

just mass murder anybody.

It's crazy.

You know, there's also in his speech last night, he warned Israel not to let the fires of hatred and vengeance, you know, boil over.

Have you seen that, Stu?

Because I haven't seen that.

No, I think what they want to do is get rid of Hamas.

It seems like they want to set up a demilitarized zone in between Gaza and

the rest of Israel.

Of course, Gaza is part of Israel, but that's a whole different story.

And I don't know if that's going to actually solve this problem at all.

I mean, that's a whole nother thing.

But, I mean, like he said in there, Glenn,

you know, these attacks

unearthed memories.

It had nothing to do with unearthing memories.

It had to do with a bunch of people being murdered and raped and decapitated.

That's what it had to do with.

They were all new memories.

All these are now memories for the rest of the country that they need to try to solve so there aren't more memories created in the future.

It's not about unearthing memories.

It's about brand spanking new ones.

I agree with that, but I tend to

agree with the president on the memories.

Jewish people, imagine being a Jew today, anywhere in the world, and you grew up hearing stories about your grandparents and how there was a program and people in Europe or people anywhere were

saying death to the Jew and they didn't care and they were gassing him and nobody paid attention.

You know, you grew up hearing those stories and now you find yourself

and the memory of what you learned from your grandparents, that's what he's talking about.

Unearthed all of these old memories of these horrors.

We thought we were beyond this now.

We're not.

And in America,

you know, Islamophobia,

I am not afraid of anyone who is in Islam.

I'm not.

I disagree with their choice of religion.

But, you know, if it's a reformed, which, you know, you'd be beheaded if you were part of a reformed part of Islam.

But if it's a reformed and you're like, hey, I'm not asking the rocks to point out the Jews,

then, you know, fine, cool.

We can live side by side.

But that's not who we're talking about.

There's a difference between followers of Islam and Islamicists.

We are talking about Islamicists, and they should be wiped off the face of the earth.

If you believe that

Allah's laws, where we do ask the rocks to point out the Jews, and we throw

homosexuals off of buildings like they do in Iran, and

they

force women to cover themselves except for the eyes, but I'm a little...

Quite honestly, I think the eyes reveal an awful lot.

I mean, they're always women in their eyes.

You know, if that's the kind of stuff that you want, you have no place in modern society.

Go live in a cave.

You have no place.

Essentially, if you're in agreement with the Hamas charter,

then, you know, yeah, this is what Israel is going to try to solve here.

And they need to.

They need to do something about it.

Look, you know, if it was a terrible, and I agree with you, obviously, like, there is such a long history here that there's more to it than just this attack.

But if what we were talking about about were memories, they wouldn't be doing, they wouldn't be thinking, contemplating a ground invasion right now, right?

It's not just memories.

It's all of this stuff together, including 1,300 other people slaughtered and hundreds, by the way, including a bunch of Americans who are currently being held hostage.

That doesn't seem to be the highest priority murder.

I have never seen a time ever in our history where Americans can be slaughtered and then Americans can be taken hostage.

And that's not like the number one conversation in America.

Have you?

I mean, look, Ron DeSantis sent out another plane.

We've had planes sent out and coming back.

I think more planes are being sent out to help Bring home Americans that want to be here, don't want to be trapped in Israel.

Our government just can't seem to, they don't care, no matter what he says.

Well, I see you.

Do you?

Do you see us?

Because a lot of us are flipping you off right now.

What do you mean, you see me?

Then why don't you come over and get me?

Why don't you go over and rescue Americans who should be rescued?

What do we pay taxes for?

How many Americans are kidnapped, do we think?

24?

I don't know the number off the top of my head.

It's it's a significant amount, of course, and that includes

also Americans.

Right.

This wasn't just Israeli citizens.

And that is, that's amazing that neither you nor I

know that number.

That's remarkable.

We've been talking about this for 10 days, and

neither one of us are sure on the number.

Why?

What is our president, what is our military doing?

What is a higher priority than that?

And by the way, you know, for those of you who had,

you know, the Houthis getting involved in the office pool, you're a winner today.

In case you didn't hear,

a U.S.

naval ship

shot down Houthi rockets.

Now,

some might be be saying, who are the Houthis?

I'm not going to talk down to you because, like you, I know exactly the history of the Houthis.

But I'm just going to have to explain it to the dummies,

like it was explained to me yesterday.

The Houthis are an Iranian-backed

militant in Yemen.

Yeah.

Yemen.

So these are the people that the United States under Donald Trump were trying to stop because they're Iranian.

These are the people that the Saudis also have been trying to stop because the Saudis and Iran don't get along.

And the Houthis have been trying to destabilize Saudi Arabia at behest of the Iranians.

So the Houthis sent some rockets.

Who knew they even had matches?

But they sent some rockets up.

They were headed towards Israel or so we say, and the Navy shot them down.

So

we're kind of involved now.

Kind of involved.

I'm glad we shot them down, but kind of involved.

Yeah.

And

I'm glad they shot them down for sure,

but we were already involved and we're going to be even more involved as this goes on.

Oh, yeah.

For those of you who had, yeah, I think we could be in World War III by the end of the year.

I mean, you might be right.

You might be right.

We'll wait until the end of the year, but you might be right.

Because the way this is now being tied directly to Ukraine, how Russia is backing Iran, how we're backing Israel and Ukraine, the whole Axis ally powers thing

is starting to really take shape in a

well, in a fireworks sort of presentation for us now.

And by the way, they want to Biden ask for, what, $105 billion?

Now, $14 billion of it, I believe, is going to Israel and four times that amount going to Ukraine.

That's the current split that they are talking about.

And one more note here, Glenn.

On the hostage number,

one of the reasons we don't know the number is because they're still finding bodies.

We don't know how many hostages are there.

We know that about somewhere over 20 are missing.

However, the number of hostages is believed to be lower than that, something like 10, which means there may be another dozen or more Americans that we don't even know where their bodies are yet.

Maybe they're just missing.

Maybe they got out somehow.

I mean, we don't know.

But we think about 10 at least, this is according to Republican Senator Jim Risch, says that about 10 of them

are actually being held actively captive in Gaza.

Okay, I'm going to take you back to the $100 billion

number because I have an important question that I think should be asked.

And I'll do that here in just a minute.

Stand

by for news.

All right, it is Friday.

Let me tell you about Rough Greens.

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

She said, I have two small breed dogs.

They have digestive issues.

Cynthia, TMI, I'm already there.

I've tried numerous brands of food and tried to be selective in the types of treats that they receive, but not much helps.

However, I just started using rough greens recently, sprinkling it over their food, and I'm actually observing less tummy distress.

I had a dog once.

I had an Afghan.

It was a rescue dog.

And

boy, he had, let me be nice, digestive issues.

And there were times, it was so bad all the time that we had friends over that were always over, you know, at the house.

and, you know, we would play cards.

And

we realized one day that all of us were wearing bandanas like bandits over our nose because the dog farts were so bad.

And we had just gotten so used to it.

It's like, yeah, he's farting just to put a bandana around your face.

Oh my gosh.

So I get it.

And if that's helping the dog farts, God bless you.

Rough Greens, not a dog food, it's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr.

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

If it's good for your dog, it's most likely in Rough Greens.

As I speak to you right now, I'm wearing an American Giant sweatshirt, and this is like sort of one of their hacks, right?

This particular sweatshirt is a sweatshirt that you're just hacking the system.

You're supposed to, you're going on national TV and radio, you're not supposed to be wearing sweatshirts per se.

However, the quarter zip thing, you can pull off anything, anytime with American Giant because it's a great sweatshirt.

It's a quarter zip, it can dress up, you can dress down with it.

It's just a great, great shirt.

And I will say this:

it's made in America.

Every single part from the zipper to the stitching to the ink, every single thing is made here in America because American Giant cares about that.

So many people care about the bottom line.

They care about their profits.

They care about

maximizing every single dollar.

Look, American Giant is a company that cares about American manufacturing and they care about quality.

And they've been doing this for a very, very long time.

American Giant, every single bit of it, made here right in America.

And you're going to love these clothes.

You can buy it cheaper, you can get lesser quality, you can do all that if you really want to.

But the long story short is you're gonna have an American giant sweatshirt for the rest of your life, and you're going to love it.

There's an American giant in all of us.

Hey, so Stu,

President Biden asked for,

what was it, $105 billion last night, right?

And

Israel's getting a little bit of that.

Most of it is going to Ukraine.

But also, he pointed out last night that it is important that we feed the Gazans and we help the people, the Palestinians, in the Gaza Strip.

And that's why

he's sending over, I don't know, another pallet full of cash over to Gaza.

And he says he's watching you carefully.

And if Hamas uses any of that cash, well, then he'll have to reconsider sending over more cash.

But he wants to make sure that we take care of the other side.

Can I ask you, out of the $105 billion,

how much of that money is going over to help the displaced Russians that are on the other side of the border that might have suffered, you know, at all?

You know, because we love the Russians, too.

Hold on, I got to do a calculation on that.

Are you serious?

No notice.

Hold on one second.

Let me just get this.

Yeah, no notice.

I just,

because

we love the people,

Palestinians,

and we're sending them hundreds of millions of dollars to write to Hamas with a promissory, pinky promise.

How much is going to Russia?

Zero dollars.

Zero dollars?

Wow, do we hate Russian citizens?

Is that what we're saying with that?

I guess so.

Because we seem to be sending a lot of money over to the military to kill Russians.

And boy, I think

if we're not sending money to both sides, I think it's a clear sign we hate the other side and all the people in it.

This isn't about Putin.

When did this administration send any dollars over?

And I hate to give them any ideas because they would.

But when would they send any dollars over to those displaced Russians?

Or is it just that he hates Russians?

I'm not sure.

All I know is when I was playing with my computer and trying to make the computer sounds as I was calculating that, I sent multiple text messages of gibberish to many, many people.

So if you're one of them, I apologize.

Good.

Good, good, good.

Stu's been hacked.

Stu's been hacked by somebody with no eyes.

Mike and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.

When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-liter junk.

When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.

Oh, come on.

They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.

Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.

Whatever.

You were made to outdo your holidays.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia, made to travel.

You got to

get 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 it

It's a new day I've turned around.

We gotta stand together, it's the corners of that.

What you're about to hear

is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glen Beck program.

We'll have the latest on the third vote to elect a Speaker of the House coming up in just a few minutes.

That is beginning even as we speak.

Of course, we'll have more on what I believe is the makings of World War III and how to prepare mentally for it.

The horrific anti-Semitism that is rearing its ugly, ugly head all over the world.

We've got a dear friend and one of the, I think one of the greatest guys of our age, Gad Sad,

is going to be joining us to talk about that in a second.

And just a personal note, I have to tell you, I'm up here

at the ranch and we're doing a lot of work up here.

I walked into the house and a bunch of the guys were there and they were having a meeting.

And as I walked into the house, they were saying a prayer before their morning meeting and

what a blessing it is to be around men

who are not afraid to be who they are and who start their day and start their job with prayer.

I highly recommend it.

Give it a whirl.

We're going to go with Gad Sat here in just a second.

Stand by.

First, our sponsor is Preborn.

It's called the fight for life for a reason.

By the way, did you see what happened in Canada?

They just

dismissed a bill.

Gad might know more about this.

They just dismissed a bill that would have prevented the Canadians

from liquidating the mentally incompetent, the

people that have psychiatric problems.

But no, no, no, Justin Trudeau.

We got to get these people off the books.

Stand for life.

Stand for life in all cases,

especially innocent life.

Standing at the forefront of this movement towards a better tomorrow and for the unborn is the Ministry of Pre-Born, and they need your help.

If you would donate $28 to Pre-Born, you'll offer a free ultrasound to an expectant mother caught in a crisis.

And once she hears that heartbeat, she sees that precious life, her baby's chance at life doubles.

Pre-born also continues to help provide critical support for that mom and the baby for an additional two years.

They care about not just the life of the baby, but also the life of the mother.

And they strengthen that as much as they can.

Be a part of this great, great work.

My good friend, Dr.

Ged Sad, how are you, sir?

Oh, so good to be with you.

Thank you.

Although I wish I wasn't joining you under such dire circumstances.

I know.

I've been thinking about you.

And I have to tell you, Gadda,

maybe you can describe it.

I've asked this of several people, several of my friends,

because

I don't think anybody can really understand, and I know I don't, what does it feel like?

to be Jewish today with the history that you grew up knowing about and the warnings, and now you're seeing it in your country, in my country, all over the world.

The same kind of

horrid talk about the Jews.

What does that feel like?

Well, it's disheartening, right?

Because as you said, I escaped it in the 70s.

We are Lebanese Jews who grew up in Lebanon, where in the Middle East, the entire world, their world is fueled by Jew hatred.

Everything is due to the diabolical Jew.

And to now see that exact reality being openly condoned in the West

is, of course, terrifying, but it's not surprising because demography is destiny.

If you allow people from cultures where, according to nonpartisan surveys, there is 95 to 99 percent Jew hatred in those societies, it doesn't take a fancy professor to know that eventually down the line you're going to have

institutionalized, open Jew hatred in the West.

And that's exactly what we're seeing.

So help me out, because I know

you're much smarter than I am.

How do we solve the problem for let me, I just, I'm going to say some controversial things, and I don't want to get the taint on you, so this is me, but

we don't, we didn't hate the German people, okay?

I don't hate the Palestinian people.

I have known Palestinian people.

I have some Palestinian descent that work for me, and they're wonderful.

However, when you're talking about the Middle East, just those in Gaza, a study that was taken about 10 years ago showed that 20 or how much was it, 23 or 21% of the Palestinians in Gaza believed that it was okay to kill Americans

on the street in terrorist activities.

Now, if that's the way they feel about Americans,

you know that number is a lot higher for Jews.

And we went into Germany to stop the Nazis, not the Germans, to stop the Nazis.

But we did kill all of the Germans, and we should have killed more of them that were Nazis and were perpetrating these things until the people in Germany said, okay, we don't want to be a part of this ideology at all.

Isn't this the same thing?

We have to go in and kill those who are either silent and just don't want to be involved, but they are involved in their silence, or they're actually involved and condone it.

Right.

Well, look, yesterday I put out a tweet where I said the most dangerous force in nature are human minds because, you know,

it's ideologies that then fuel horrible historical realities.

Let me put it for you in context.

When I was five years old,

the Egyptian president passed away.

His name was Gamal Abdel Nasser.

And as often happens in the Middle East, people

take onto the street and they start protesting.

And I remember right downstairs from my home, people were screaming, death to Jews, death to Jews.

What did the Jews have to do with

a Egyptian president passing away of natural natural causes, but that's what happened in the Middle East.

Let me give you two more quick stories.

When I was in grade, I think it was three or four in Lebanon,

the teacher asked people to get up and tell us what they want to be when they grow up.

So, this guy gets up, I want to be a policeman, I want to be a doctor, I want to be a soccer player.

And a friend of mine with whom I used to play got up and said, when I grow up, I want to be a Jew killer to rapturous laughter and clapping.

One more story.

When we finally left Lebanon and the airplane pilot said that we were now officially out of Lebanese airspace, my mother put a star of

David around my neck and said, now you can wear this proudly and no longer have to hide your identity.

Now this was in progressive tolerant Lebanon.

So again,

what we need to do is not so much kill other people, but to kill the hate that's in their heart and in their mind.

If you're a child and you're taught from age zero that the Jews are the cause of every possible malady and ill in the world, then it's not surprising that they grow up to be Jew haters.

So change people's minds and hearts, and hopefully we can have a better future.

How do we do that?

How do we do that?

Well, we do that by not being tolerant to such dreadful and hateful ideologies, right?

And that was really the point of my previous book, The Parasitic Mind, where I talked about a bunch of parasitic ideas that are infecting the West.

So take, for example, cultural relativism, which is an idea pathogen.

Cultural relativism basically says, hey, who are we to judge the noble values of the other culture?

As a matter of fact, all other cultures are better than ours.

We are patriarchal and we're sexist and we're Islamophobic and we're transphobic.

So how dare we judge other cultures who may have really nasty views on the Jews or on gays?

That would be cultural imperialism.

No, there are deontological universal principles.

It's not okay to hate other people because of their identity.

And if we agree to that, then we shouldn't offer any leeway to the nonsense, for example, that's promulgated on every university campus in the West.

That, again, is allowed under the guise of cultural relativism.

So it's a very, very long war.

Yes, we can go into Gaza now and try to root out Hamas, but that's a small drop in the bucket.

The bigger issue is a civilizational one.

Do you want to tolerate ideologies that are complete death cults?

If yes, then keep doing what you're doing.

If not, let's fight back.

I mean, you have the death cult, and it's not Palestinian or Hamas.

You have the death cult in Canada growing and growing and growing.

When you will say that a teenager who is depressed

can get end-of-life drugs from a doctor and they can end their own life, helping them with suicide.

That's a death cult, man.

That is a death cult.

That's not somebody who has a terminal illness.

And even then, I'm sketchy on that, but I mean, it's your up, you know, I think it's up to you.

But

not when it comes to the handicap, not when it comes to

people who don't have a good quality of life.

It's a death cult.

And this ideology always comes up when Marxism is on the rise.

It's always anti-Semitism and death.

Always, always.

And by the way, to speaking about death cults, right now, from 10 o'clock in the morning to noon, I'm supposed to be in a university departmental meeting.

You know why I'm not there and I'm speaking to you other than, of course, it's always a pleasure to speak to you?

It's because there are security concerns that are looming over me.

So imagine

in the 21st century in Quebec, Canada, a professor does not go to a departmental meeting because of these kinds of realities.

So what do you think will happen in 10 years from now, in 20 years from now, in 30 years from now?

So it is incredible that that which I escaped from the Middle East in the mid-70s has come back to haunt me 45 years later.

It's tragic.

By the way, Gat, I so appreciate your historic look at everything that is going on in the Middle East and has come out of the Middle East.

If you would just take a couple of minutes and just explain who Yusuf al-Qaradawi was.

Oh, yes.

So Yusuf al-Qaradawi was the head Sunni cleric.

I mean, he would be considered, you know, you don't have...

a position like the Pope, but he would be considered the top Islamic theologian in the Sunni world, which is the predominant sect of Islam, right?

There's also Shia, there's a few others, but by far the greatest,

you know, most populous sect of Islam is Sunni Islam.

He was at

El Azhar University, which is the predominant university of Islamic studies in Egypt.

And if you just go and read some of his

quotes on the Jews, it would simply baffle you.

You could not believe it.

But then, as I explained in the parasitic mind, all sorts of Western imbeciles will come and say, Yes, but Yusuf al-Qaradawi does not represent true Islam.

Oh, okay, let me get this straight.

So, the guy who is by definition the most knowledgeable about Islam, he's the top Islamic cleric, is misinterpreting Islam.

But your friend Ahmad, who eats pork, drinks alcohol, and is gay, he's the true representation of Islam.

But that's the problem, Glenn, is that there's nothing more dangerous than parasitized minds.

That's why I lend my voice to this.

Look, I already lead a very stressful life as a professor.

I could just sit back quietly and live my nice, quiet life.

The reason why I lend my voice is because I know what's coming down in the final station of the train.

And it's not pretty.

So if good people, the people who are listening to your show today, don't decide to get up and participate in the culture war, We will have a repeat of Beirut.

It might take 40, 50, 100 years, but it is coming for you.

You can't hide from it.

Dr.

Gadsad,

I love you, man.

I pray for you.

Likewise.

And

I just love you and appreciate everything you're doing.

God bless you.

Thank you so much, guys.

Cheers.

By the way, he says, if you would know any of the quotes, let me just give you one.

Throughout history, this this is the chief cleric.

And by the way, in Qatar.

So, Qatar is the home of

Al Jazeera.

Qatar is the one that is funding, along with Iran, a lot of this extremist, terrorist stuff.

And we are, quote, friends with Qatar.

We should not be friends with Qatar.

This is the chief cleric.

Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the Jews people who would punish them for their corruption.

The last punishment was carried out by Hitler.

By means of all the things he did to them, even though they exaggerated this issue, he managed them to put them in their place.

This was a divine punishment for them.

Allah willing, the next time will be at the hands of the believers.

There is good

and evil,

and what Gad said about if you do nothing,

we are going to repeat all of the mistakes of the past.

This is the time of choosing right now.

And if you don't choose,

actively choose, not just in your head and going, you know what, yeah, I'm for the juice.

I mean, actually researching it, thinking it out,

making this a cornerstone of your life,

that you are pro-life, you know who

the good guys are and the bad guys.

That doesn't mean that Israel can do no wrong.

It doesn't mean the United States can do no wrong.

As you've seen, we've done a lot of wrong.

But we choose life.

And the minute our country starts to choose death like Canada is right now, and quite honestly, we are beginning,

We're no longer on the right side, and that's when your second citizenship, your citizenship to the United States, is worthless, is worthless if it makes you violate the principles of choosing life,

choosing good over evil.

You are a citizen of a divine kingdom, and you have to make that choice now.

Silence in the face of evil is evil itself.

Not to speak is to speak.

Not to stand is to stand.

God

will not hold us blameless.

So today on the podcast, I have Walter Kern.

Walter Kern is truly an amazing, amazing guy.

He is,

I don't know how I would even begin to explain who he is.

He is an incredible writer.

He is

an intellectual elite, but he's not an intellectual elite.

I mean, he went to Princeton and Oxford, but he lives in the center of the country and he's one of the biggest defenders.

I mean, he hates the way, you know, small-town town America and Red America is just known as Hicks.

He hates it because he knows the truth.

It's not.

And I talked to him yesterday, had a fascinating conversation with him.

And I'm going to play

something here in a minute, and then we'll talk about it.

He says a clampdown is coming.

And as I was walking out of the building yesterday, because I had to catch a plane,

we were walking out together, and he said, Glenn, I am so concerned about a clampdown.

And we talked about it, and I wish we would have spent more time on it in the podcast, but he touches on it.

And

we both agree

that it's not going to take a lot

to lose freedom of speech, freedom of the press.

It could just take a war to do that.

And voices will disappear and won't be able to communicate.

And we have to be prepared.

It's why he says he's an optimist because he's considered all these dark things and now he's prepared for it and he's like, okay, I know I'm not going to be shocked by anything and I'll generally know how I'm going to handle things.

More on this coming up in a minute.

Our sponsor, this half hour is Real Estate Agents I Trust.

Trust is not a word I throw around lightly.

I hope you don't either.

I don't ever ask anybody to trust me.

I ask you to do your own homework.

Trust is too valuable of a thing.

And to me,

when I was at the bottom as an alcoholic, that is the only thing I wanted back because I realized that was the key.

to everything that I had lost.

I had lost people's trust because I was an alcoholic and a profound liar.

And these are the real estate agents that my people have vetted.

And I trust them because I trust my team.

Tonight, on C-SPAN and C-SPAN 2, the New York Times calls it sleek, sexy, and wildly informative.

The Washington Post says it's a whirlwind of accuracy.

The Wall Street Journal calls it as exciting as the first time you researched the pros and cons of a given mutual fund.

It's the premiere of C-SPAN's first television movie, Quorum Call, the HR 1277 story.

The item was listed as a consent item on your agenda.

Build as an incredibly intricate telling of the classic passage of the Department of Energy Civilian Research and Development Act of 1997.

Quorum Call is the true story of a ragtag group of U.S.

representatives determined to fight for the passage of the Department of Energy Civilian Research and Development Act of 1997.

Motion for oral argument is in order.

Sack Oaten.

Quorum Call tonight on C-SPAN, the cable industry's gift to America.

Wow, quorum call.

We're in a quorum call right now, and that's what's happening in the house.

A quorum call,

not to be confused with the movie that everybody is talking about, quorum call that comes out this weekend.

But this one is even more exciting.

than HR 791 or whatever that was.

This is just, they're getting together for a quorum call, which is, hey, do we have a quorum?

And if you don't know what a quorum is, well,

I don't know.

I think you dig for rocks in those places.

And

they get together and they're like, hey, if we have a quorum, we can have fun things going on.

If we don't have one, we can't do anything.

And so they're having a quorum call right now.

And

man, I wish we could listen in because it looks like fun.

It is riveting, Glenn.

And this quorum call, of course, precedes the actual big vote, which is for Jim Jordan to become a speaker of the house.

Now, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Everybody's talking about that.

Get back to quorum call because they'll say,

Mr.

Bacon, and he'll say, here.

And then he goes through all the Bs.

And to make it more exciting

by making it more predictable, they do it in alphabetical order.

It's really an exciting part of the process.

There's no twists and turns to it at all.

And they're just finding out if, are you in the room or not?

They never start with like the Rs or the Js or the Ps.

No, it would be.

It's just always ABC in order.

Really exciting stuff.

Now, the actual vote is maybe...

has about as much intensity and we don't know the outcome of what's going on about as much as the ABC's because it does seem like Jim Jordan is not going to be elected Speaker of the House today.

He was now.

Why do you say that?

Because it was very hopeful, very hopeful yesterday.

I had to fly in.

I gave a speech yesterday, and I was flying in.

I land.

My text message is going crazy.

Looks like one more time, the Republicans, but this time

McCarthy is serious.

He's going to give a speech and tell everybody, you got to vote for Jim Jordan.

So, yeah, and maybe

that'll work.

I think it's highly unlikely, but you know, look, you hold out hope for it.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait, we've already had quorum call.

Can we, Sarah?

Do we have the horn music?

Because I think Stu explaining this serious, serious process,

yeah, with that horn is going to make it even better.

Go ahead.

So

we were told yesterday that Jim Jordan didn't want to have a vote on

Patrick McHenry.

And then we heard the exact opposite.

And then we heard that Jim Jordan was going to go for a third vote.

And then we were told he's not going to do that.

And he...

And now we're back.

And Jim Jordan is now going to go for a third vote.

He held a press conference this morning, which didn't seem to really accomplish anything specific.

It was just maybe an outline of what was going on.

He

had a behind-the-scenes meeting.

Can I read you a description of how optimistic you should be about this vote?

Oh, please do.

With this music playing in the background,

Jake,

the reporter for a punch bowl, he said, A source describes the Jordan meeting with the holdouts.

These are the holdout votes that don't want to vote for him for House Speaker.

It described it like this.

A direct, precise meeting in which jordan was told he will never be speaker this group doesn't want anything they want jordan to understand that he will not be speaker so this is going pretty well i think we're uh

everybody this is

so we're not wasting our time with this no don't try to bribe us with anything don't you will just never get this job that is basically what they're telling okay that's good

Of course, I think he'd do very well as speaker, but again, it's not me you have to please, not Glenn you have to please.

It's not, you know, it's not anybody who cares about conservative values at all.

It's a bunch of people who don't like Jim Jordan that you have to please.

And it's hard to do that with the name Jim Jordan.

And I think that's where we're going to wind up here over the next few days.

Yeah, now I...

I saw this in the Daily Caller today.

Gates, who's forced a motion to vacate the chair vote in early October that successfully removed former Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, from office, has continued to face criticism from many House Republicans for going against the status quo.

Yeah, that's the last thing we're doing: send somebody into Washington that would go against the status quo.

You know what I mean?

Hey, can we...

We've got a quorum call coming up.

They're exciting.

Let's just wrap around that and just make sure everybody's there.

And let's not upset the apple cart because this apple cart, it's doing gangbusters.

We're selling apples like nobody's business.

Just status quo, gang.

Many Republicans

who are voting for Jordan and also voted to remove McCarthy as Speaker say they believe it could be seen as a win if Gates

win for Gates if someone such as Jordan was elected.

Yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

This is

good wheel.

What you're talking about is totally what's going on.

They are pissed off at Gates for doing this in the first place, and they're not going to give him anybody he wants.

And I mean, it is petty, it's pathetic, it is, but that is 100% the dynamic at work here.

And there's no way to get around it unless you find someone that Gates doesn't like, which is essentially what they're going to wind up having to do.

So here it is.

I've been told by a good number of people that their objection isn't personal to Jim.

It's that voting

in Jordan is perceived to be rewarding Matt Gates and the rest of the eight.

Oh.

So, you know, when Stu says petty,

it might not be,

it might not be

an accurate description.

I think it might be more than just petty.

Yeah.

Childish.

Childish.

Petty.

And

it is important to note that a lot of this is not directly about Jim Jordan.

I mean, there are definitely members who don't like Jordan specifically, but it's more about this idea that

they like if you think about it from our perspective for a second, Glenn,

we would say don't toss your speaker unless you have a plan to improve the situation and at least have a plan to avoid catastrophic circumstances, right?

That's that would be the type of thing we've talked about for a while.

So, for us, the upside of this would be if someone like Jordan did get

become speaker, somebody who would improve the situation over McCarthy.

That's the exact thing that the holdouts want to prevent.

If people like us think this is better, then it will all be seen as worth it, and

we will celebrate as if this was a good thing.

They can't have that.

This is why this is so hard to do.

This is

let that occur.

We're in the death throes of the

Republicans that you know most Americans despise.

And they think that they are so detached from reality.

They think that

know,

in

purple states and purple districts, that people would rather have a Democrat than somebody who is going to be preaching common sense.

Look, we have to open up the oil fields again.

We have to build refineries.

We are not going to be able to survive.

If you want to be the sugar daddy for the rest of the world,

okay, okay, but you're going to have to find that money someplace because people can't afford their house.

They can't afford the interest.

How many people have had their insurance go through the roof lately?

How many?

Everything is

going through the roof.

I went in to buy a new suit the other day.

I haven't bought a new suit in I don't know how long because I'm constantly gaining weight.

And so I've just been slipping into, you know, suits that I can just, I can't even bring my arms down in because they'll just rip the sleeves right off.

And, you know, I'm one of those guys.

I've been like, no, you know, I'm going to buy a suit.

I'm going to buy it in a, because I'm going to drop this weight.

This time I went in and I'm like, can I get one three sizes too big, please?

But I went in and

I buy this certain brand of suit.

I've bought it forever.

You know, believe it or not, it fits me.

And,

you know it's it's a nice suit

i bought a jacket i thought it was a suit i bought a jacket

i haven't bought a new suit in i don't even know five years six years

the jacket was twice the price of what i would have paid for a suit five years ago and

I looked at him and I he rang it up and I'm like,

good lord, what

no i think you've rung that up wrong and he said no

and i said come on man i i know what this what are you talking about and he's like this is the price

and i said

um

wow um

next time could i get a cocktail before you stick your fingers in my eyes and just press them all the way to the back of my skull

Everything

is going through the roof.

And do you really think that the average person who's not worried about buying a new suit, who is worried about putting food on the table and paying their rent and being able to have enough at the end of the month, do you really think that your elitist snobbery of, hey, we don't want to upset the apple cart.

We just keep the status quo, do you really think they're going to like that?

Do you really think that when we're roped into two wars or let's just call it World War III

and things are really bad and they're paying $10 a gallon for gasoline and then you start taking their houses?

Well, I don't know.

Do you think that's going to work out well for you, Republicans?

You are so misguided, so misguided.

They are just out of touch.

And the

Republicans that like Jim Jordan,

I know they're going to be called extremists, but I'm sorry, if it's an extremist position,

if you want to call me an extremist for saying gender matters,

that men are men and women are women, you can call yourself whatever you want, but scientifically speaking, And this is important,

that can never change.

We don't play FTSE with people who are conducting terrorist activities.

We shouldn't send pallets of cash over to Hamas or to Iran.

I don't want to fight the war for Israel.

They're big boys.

They've prepared for this since, oh, I don't know, 1948.

They can fight their own battles.

We'll stand and say, hey, they have a right to exist and they have a right to defend themselves.

They start committing atrocities and they lose our support.

But I'm not fighting a war for them.

And I'm not sending any more money and I'm not sending any more children into death for one of these wars where we don't even know.

Again, I say to Matt Gates, have a plan.

What's the plan?

in Ukraine?

What is it?

What is, I need a goal.

I need a, you know, it's like going out into a football game where there is no end zone.

It's just, it's just numbers on the field and you can run, you can run right, left, hell,

you can run into the stands, but you got to score.

But there is no end zone.

And so we don't really know

how to score,

how to even tell when you've made a touchdown or when the game is over.

No, not going to do it anymore.

Not going do it.

You can't keep printing money and raising interest rates.

It's insane.

And if that makes me an extremist, so be it.

When I say all men are created equal, I mean everybody.

I don't care your race, your creed, everybody gets the same opportunity and they pay the same price as punishment.

Not two sets of laws.

If that makes me an extremist, Republicans, you should embrace extremism.

Back in just a second.

Let me tell you about our sexy, sexy sponsor.

Man, I'm hoping it is not.

You didn't feel that from the Republicans.

And so we'll tell you what we think this is really all about here in just a second.

Promo code is Beck.

All right, let's play a little bit of of former Speaker McCarthy's endorsement of Jim Jordan just a few minutes ago on the floor of the House.

Mr.

Speaker, I rise to nominate Jim Jordan for the Speaker of the House.

Now, I've listened to the speeches this week, and I can already tell you what my friends on the other side will say using their poll-tested phrases.

But let me correct the record.

Jim Jordan is an effective legislator.

Now, Stu, I want to stop it there.

Stu,

who's laughing at that?

I would imagine it's mainly Democrats, but

Republicans as well, you think?

I think it's mainly Democrats.

There may be a couple of Republicans joining in on that, but this is we're turning into the British parliament now where we just all start yelling things when people say stuff.

It makes it more fun to watch, but I don't like it happening in my country.

You know what I mean?

I don't really give a crap.

I mean,

Great Britain, I don't want it to, but Great Britain could sink into the ocean and you'd be like, huh.

So what's for lunch?

Now, if we sink into the ocean, you know, they'll probably say, you know, what's for lunch?

Got any more blood pudding?

And they won't care.

But

I don't want my house to sound like parliament, but it is becoming that.

All right, I want to play just a little bit more here because he says a few things and you hear a tepid support.

To legislate

is about more than the name on the bill.

It's about reaching compromise and working long hours behind the scenes to get the job done.

Listen to that.

The House will come to order.

Gentlemen may resume.

When you are the chairman of a committee, you are responsible for dozens of bills passing the House and being signed into law.

So let me tell you a few facts that don't come in the polls.

As the leader of the Judiciary Committee, Jim has passed more bills through the House in just three years than the entire Democrat leadership team that has their collective 28 years in Congress.

That's nice.

Okay, so he's what he's doing here, I'm going to play all of it, what he's doing here is

he is,

I feel,

doing a decent job, not a great job, but he's doing a decent job of trying to say, vote for Jim Jordan.

But it's not going to happen.

The Democrats are all united, as they always are.

They're always united.

It doesn't matter.

I mean, the devil himself could come out and go, hey, I want you to vote for me today.

And they'd all be like, yes, he's our man.

But the Republicans can never seem to get their crap together

because we have too many Republicans that believe in a big state over the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and that's our problem.

And so, what is he doing?

I'll tell you in a minute.

First, let me get an update on the vote.

Bring the live vote count up if you can.

And Jeffries.

How are we doing, Stu?

Let me see where we are here.

Case.

Okay, so we are in the C's here.

We've gone through three anti-Jordan votes so far.

All three of them continued to go against Jordan.

That's Bacon, Buchanan, and Buck.

So no switch there.

It would be a surprise if there was a switch there.

Jeffries.

We have Chavez DeReamer coming up here.

Chavez DeRimer.

There we go.

McHenry.

McHenry.

Okay, so that's the second vote from McHenry now,

which is the guy who is the current temporary Speaker of the House.

But again, excited.

So he loses one more and he's out, right?

I think he's already out, actually, because there is one representative who is a Jordan voter who's in Israel today.

Yeah.

Jeffrey's

doing a fact-finding

decision.

All right, so it's not going to happen.

So what was this whole exercise about?

My feeling, and Stu, I'd love to hear your opinion on this, but my feeling is that

McCarthy coming in and, you know, the news yesterday that he was going to give the nominating speech and that he was on board.

This is a giant game of third graders.

And if I'm in the third grade, I'm smart enough to go,

wait a minute,

I might be able to peel three or four of those eight away who voted against me.

If I am nice to Jim and I play nice and I'm like, hey, everybody, I love him.

I nominated him.

I was with you.

I understood that you didn't want me.

And I even stood with you and I gave a speech and I did everything I could behind the scenes, but it didn't work.

So why don't we come back around?

Would anybody consider doing it with me again?

And you would have that consensus except for those eight.

And I think you could probably get four of them to say, this is insanity.

We got to stop.

We got to get back to work.

I think you're totally right on that.

I think this is, on its surface, the most powerful thing McCarthy can do to push Jordan through, right?

Like he comes out, he does the endorsement.

The people that are loyal to him, maybe they listen to him and vote for Jordan.

But I don't think that's what it's actually about.

It's about this second layer thing where McCarthy is thinking about a comeback.

Remember, he doesn't need to get Matt Gates, who hates his guts.

He needs to get four of those eight to come back to his his side.

Not all of them opposed McCarthy just because they didn't like him.

Some of them had process questions.

Some of them had specific things that they were upset about.

If you can win a few of those guys back, you might be able to pull this off.

And one way to do that is to come out and say, I tried really hard.

We went all the way to the wall.

We went as far as we could go with Jim Jordan.

It didn't work out.

I'm sad about it too.

What if we try me again?

I think that is something he's going to attempt here.

I don't know that it's probable that it will work, but

the dude wants the job.

You watch these players closer than I do.

If McCarthy goes back,

he's not going to go back with a, well, one vote, two votes can get you out of the speakership.

So you've lost that power.

But does he go back to

being at least decent to those people who believe in

the Constitution?

Or does he make those people pay for what we've just gone through?

I mean, I think he makes Gates.

Do we get back the good stuff?

I think he makes Gates pay.

I think, you know, that will, I don't think that's going to be

anywhere, any way that could be repaired, honestly, or at least for a very long time.

But I do think the others, if they were to come back, I think, you know, he'd be fine with that.

And again, like

he did actually do a bunch of stuff that conservatives wanted.

He was not perfect.

He was not, I don't think he's the greatest of all time, but he's like, compare him to like what we were used to back in the day, like John Boehner.

He was much, much, much better than John Boehner.

I mean, a guy like Thomas Massey would never be able to be happy with John Boehner.

He was relatively happy with McCarthy, and a lot of conservatives were.

We talked to, you know, Chip Roy, who wasn't thrilled with McCarthy, but also did not vote again to take him out because he did not see a better option.

And this is, you know, what we're watching now is a vote on the last really best chance at a better option going down in flames.

That is,

and yeah, this is another development here as we're watching this.

And I'm kind of trying to do three things at once here.

But one of the big questions today was Jordan went pretty hard to the mat

in trying to win over.

these three, I think it's three New York Republicans that had voted for Lee Zeldon previously in these elections.

And they actually, he got to the point where he actually got Lee Zeldon to come in and go after these guys and say, please vote for Jordan, please vote for Jordan.

Zeldon stepped in and tried on that effort.

And the first one of them just voted, which was Anthony DiEsposito, and he voted again for Lee Zeldon anyway.

So that didn't work.

This is just childish.

It's one of the minor

parts of this because one of the things with that was it's not about him necessarily winning the speakership here, but could he show positive momentum, go from 22 Republicans lost to 17 or 15 or something showing progress?

I'm getting closer and closer and closer.

That eventually did happen with McCarthy, even though he had several votes where it was even.

Like he never went backwards.

Jordan went slightly backwards last time.

The question is, does he go farther this time?

And if he goes farther this time, there's a good chance he just gives it up and decides not to keep going.

I got to tell you, can you imagine?

I mean, we are so,

we're so spoiled that we're like, that's just crazy.

Can you imagine the 1859 or 1860 convention

with Abraham Lincoln?

50 votes, 50 votes.

Lincoln wasn't even really considered.

He was one of those guys that were like,

How about Abraham Lincoln?

Yeah.

How about Abraham Lincoln?

And he wins.

The 50th vote,

he wins.

And he wasn't the guy going in.

But they couldn't decide on anybody.

Imagine we walk out with the guy with a bow tie that really nobody knows who he is.

Henry.

And

you got him running things.

Imagine going into a convention for president.

And like this unknown guy that really nobody knows that on the 50th ballot, ballot they're like, let's throw him in.

He's ugly enough not to ever get elected.

Check out the hat.

And yeah, and

he does.

Imagine how surprised.

And that's the thing about Abraham Lincoln, too, that is so amazing.

He wasn't liked by either side.

He wasn't really liked by, and this I really like, even the Republicans back then, they didn't like Abraham Lincoln, really.

And they also didn't really,

the, of course, the Whigs and the Democrats hated Abraham Lincoln.

He was not liked at all.

I mean, you know, you think we're bad now.

It was, it was worse then.

Yeah, I think that's true, Glenn.

Something to keep in perspective.

You know,

what is unique about this situation right now is not that McCarthy's the worst guy ever or the Republicans are more in disarray than ever.

What's unique about this is they only have a four-seat majority.

This is really hard to do when you have this type of majority, especially when you're

a party like the Republicans where you have real diversity from moderate to conservative.

There is a big, big difference between the most moderate and the most conservative Republican in this conference.

And

it's got to be really hard to get 217 through.

I mean, I think they need weeks and weeks and weeks and honestly, probably even more than that to figure this out, which is why I still think eventually they'll probably wind up settling on putting McHenry in temporarily and trying to come up with a plan behind the scenes.

That probably the next

most likely option, though, is McCarthy returning.

I mean, that's probably the next most likely option.

Right.

Which is crazy.

I think that's, I personally think that's the first option.

It's possible.

McHenry, you can't put a guy.

Check on this.

I don't think constitutionally you can just put a guy in and just say, yeah, we're just going to go with this temporary guy.

He's in line for the office of the presidency.

Well, I don't think he would be in line for the office for the presidency.

What they would do is expand his powers as a temp, basically.

It's like you got a temp worker.

They come in.

They're answering the phones.

They're doing okay with that.

You give them some filing responsibilities.

Maybe

you're giving them some other things to do around the office.

That's the way this is going to be.

That's not the job of the speaker.

Yeah.

No.

I just think this is a bad idea.

What they're saying is if they give him explicit powers as a temp to be able to pass legislation and move things around, they can still do that.

And it would not make him Speaker of the House.

So he would not be in line for the presidency.

a major major difference and also a even more massive one considering the fact that he's the only republican in line like if god forbid something happened uh to the president and vice president it would just skip over and go past him to patty murray as as your next president

we got that going for us all right let me uh tell you about our sponsor this half hour by the time i get to the end of this commercial it's 60 seconds at least two abortions will have happened somewhere in this country.

It's about one every 34 seconds.

The end of the day today, that number will have been over 2,500 children in the United States alone.

We've overturned Roe versus Wade, but there's so much work yet to be done.

This is so anti-human.

And Planned Parenthood is so very clear.

First of all, it was a racist organization.

I contend it's still a racist organization.

They target women in the

sections of our towns.

And now, because they can't make ends meet, I guess, with government money and providing abortions until they get the military, that they're also making money now on being the one that gives your kids hormones.

So you can get those hormone drugs to sterilize your kid on the first visit.

It's great.

When you donate $28 to the Ministry of Pre-Born, you're going to offer a free ultrasound to an expectant mom caught in a crisis.

And once she hears the heartbeat and sees that precious life, her baby's chance at life doubles.

Plus, Pre-Born continues to help provide critical support for that mom and that baby for additional two years.

Your tax-deductible gift will go directly to that cause.

So please sponsor one of these precious children's lives today.

If you have the means, do it in a big way.

Tax-deductible donation of any price, $28, or if you want to donate, you know,

$5,000 at the end of the year, sponsor Pre-Born's entire network for 24 hours, helping rescue 200 babies.

Donate, dial pound250, say the keyword baby, that's pound250, keyword baby, or you can go to pre-born.com/slash back, sponsored by pre-born.

10 seconds, station ID.

Wait a minute.

Hmm.

Do I have a misread on my?

I just think somebody added to my show schedule, Jim Jordan going to be on with us at the bottom of the hour?

Chip Roy, I think it's going to be on with us.

Oh, Chip Roy.

That's what I'm getting.

Okay, yeah.

Chip Roy's going to be on.

Okay, that makes more sense to me.

But anxious to hear from Chip Roy on this.

So he's supposed to both

at any minute.

I think they're in the H's right now, or the I's.

We're getting close to the IC's in the R's.

If you don't know the alphabet, it'll take a little while to get there.

And if he's on the bottom of the hour, he may not be able to get his vote in.

But it is very clear that Jordan will not

become speaker with this vote.

That is basically 100% clear at this point.

You know, it's hard to keep track of this 100% as we're doing the show.

But to my count, every single representative who voted against Jordan so far has continued to vote that way, including another New York representative who was the big rumor was they might switch and go to Jordan.

Does not seem like that's happened.

And I could be wrong on this.

It seems like it might be even a little higher.

I may have missed a name as it was going on, but I think he actually might be behind his pace from the last vote.

This is not going to happen here.

You know, I don't think it's going to ever happen for Jordan, unfortunately.

But as of right now, it's just a matter of where you go next.

And I don't think they have any plan.

And again, you don't put yourself in a position like this unless you do have a plan.

That's a lesson maybe we'll learn next time.

Well, I mean,

this is a plan

to

fight for the unpaid supplemental spending, $11 billion,

$12 billion to Taiwan, $60 billion billion to Ukraine, $10 billion to Israel, $4 billion for the border, and $8 for global humanitarian aid.

Yeah,

okay.

I would like to at least discuss that and have the speaker push back.

We'll see what happens.

We'll talk to Chip here in just a second.

Goldline is our sponsor.

With everything that is going on in the world today,

hard assets are things that

you should have.

Hard assets, things that will hold or retain their value as much as possible.

Gold and silver, land,

those kinds of things, they retain.

Now, land, I don't know what's going to happen.

I don't know what's going to happen with anything.

Except whenever the world goes insane, they always return to the gold standard.

Why did we become, after World War I,

why did we become the superpower by the time we hit World War II?

Because Europe went through World War I and they needed to buy things from us.

They needed to rebuild.

They needed armaments.

So they sent us their gold.

By World War II, we had all the gold.

That's how we got the gold standard here in America and our reserves.

Right now, go in to Goldline, find out if it's right for you.

866 Goldline, 866 Goldline.

They've got a great special going on with free silver.

866 Goldline.

AnnisplaysTV.com/slash Glenn.

Use the promo code Glenn to save.

Can we go back to the floor of the house?

Because they're still voting.

Chip Roy is going to join us here in a second.

But they're voting and doing a

call and

Jordan.

Jordan.

Mooney.

We just had a Miller Meeks vote.

And of course, we knew Miller was not going to vote for Jordan.

She's one of the people who's been complaining about supposed credible death threats against her.

But Miller-Meeks did vote.

And I think this is the one thing we can take out of this vote

is she voted for McHenry.

She is one of many now.

I don't know how many there's been total.

Ten maybe that have voted for McHenry.

Most people, they were voting for either Scalise or McCarthy before this.

So this may be a move by them to try to elevate McHenry as the potential next person, or at least in that temp role with expanded powers.

Jeffries.

I love his fort.

Why not?

You know, Jeffries.

Jeffries.

Listen to the way the woman.

I love it.

She's disgusted by all of it.

She calls...

Murphy.

Bregier.

Jeffries.

Jordan.

Jarnin.

Nadler.

Jeffries.

Listen to Jeffries.

Nadler.

Jeffries.

Jeffries.

She's just disgusted by the whole process.

She's like a representative of us.

Yeah.

Nagoose.

Jeffries.

Jeffries.

I hate all of you.

But

Jordan.

Jordan.

It doesn't matter who you're sold for.

This is not going to.

Yeah.

Yeah.

This is not going anywhere.

Stu brings up that this might be to get McHenry in.

We were just saying that

McCarthy giving the speech for Jeffries

might have been, not

Jim Jordan, might have been the

play to get him back in.

But now that we see 10 people are voting for McHenry, maybe

the next play is McHenry.

Yeah, basically, you're sending messages here, right?

If you're opposing Jordan here, who do you want to go to?

Who do you think is the realistic possibility?

So I think, you know, again, I think both McHenry and McCarthy are the top two possibilities of what we end up with here.

Though there's still catastrophic outliers apply.

Again, if I were the Democrats right now, what I would be doing is stop nominating Hakeem Jeffries over and over again and getting your 212 votes every single time.

If I were them, and please do not listen to me.

If you're a Democrat right now with any sort of influence, turn the radio off immediately.

But what I would do is find like the most moderate, squishy, worst Republican I could think of and just start nominating them in.

Was that

Romney is in the Senate and he's out soon.

You're going to have to go for the second worst.

Well, maybe he will step over.

Seriously, like a Mitt Romney type figure, right?

Pick someone like that who's going to be super critical of Donald Trump and

is going to agree with you on 30, 40, 50, maybe 80 percent of things

and just vote in unison for him.

You'd only have to pick off a few Republicans.

You get four or five of them who really like this guy, and all of a sudden you would get control, and this guy would owe you

the

loyalties for getting the job.

Why they don't do that, I don't know, because they're just stupid, or

they just

can't pass by Hakeem Jeffries.

He's the next guy on the list, and he's got all the intersectional values we're voting for today.

But I'm surprised they haven't at least attempted something like that.

But, you know, luckily they haven't because I think it might work.

Right now, though,

there's two.

McCarthy and McHenry are probably the most likely guys that are going to get this.

It does seem like the vote will get worse here for Jordan as well.

That's another notable thing.

The New York training win over the New York representatives does not seem to have worked.

And yeah, in fact, Zeldon actually has more votes in this.

in this round than he did in the previous rounds.

Again, Zeldon not running, of course, to to become Speaker, but he's getting a lot of these protest votes.

And it does seem like it's going to be higher than the 22

Jordan

lost last time.

Will this be the end?

I mean, my guess is

I don't think he's going to.

He was threatening to make people stay and vote throughout the weekend.

I don't know that he's actually going to do that.

It doesn't seem like he has a chance to pull this off, unfortunately, because I think he'd do a good job.

By the way,

I got a copy of Romney's book,

the new one that is out, Mitt Romney, and it's a tell-all.

Oh, I know.

And he talks about it.

He talks about me when we met, and he said, I was carrying my Bible for some unknown reason, and

then I sat there and I blubbered.

Those are his words.

And he just looked at his staff member as I was blubbering on, and he just looked at him and mouthed never again.

And he hates these

crazy Tea Party conservatives.

And then he does a hatchet job on Mike Lee.

There was one race, however, that Romney was following more closely than any other.

His fellow Utah senator Mike Lee was up for re-election, facing off against Evan McMuffin, a moderate, I'm sorry, McMullen, I'd misread that.

A moderate independent.

Normally, an incumbent Republican would barely have to open his mouth to win in Utah, but Lee was unusually

unpopular.

A former constitutional lawyer, he had ridden the 2010 Tea Party wave into the Senate where he made a name for himself as a rabble-rousing wingman to Ted Cruz.

When I think of Mike Lee, I think of a rabble-rouser.

Oh, yeah.

Within the local Utah establishment, many viewed Lee as a showboating obstructionist,

really,

really,

whose penchant for provocation recently routinely embarrassed his home state and his religion?

Man, there is so much here.

Then, in the aftermath of January 6th, more than 60 leaked tech messages between Lee and the White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows showed the center enthusiastically assisting Trump's plot to overturn the results of the election.

In one text, Lee claimed to be spending 14 hours a day on the effort.

Yeah, yeah, he was.

He was doing all the research that he could do, and then he was saying, I don't see a path here.

This is what the Constitution says, and I don't see a path here.

But if you want to take it, here's what's constitutional and what's not.

And I've been spending 14 hours a day on this, so trust me.

That's what he was saying.

Romney thought it would be a long shot to beat Mike Lee, but he had no interest wading into the race.

He knew he'd be expected to endorse the Republican incumbent, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

In March, he told Politico that he planned to stay neutral because both candidates were friends.

It was a bit of a stretch.

Romney had only met McMuffin a handful of times, and while he knew Lee much better, their relationship was little more than cordial.

It was a tidy way for him to stay on the sidelines.

He figured Lee would let it go, but he figured wrong.

As election day neared, the poll stayed too close for comfort.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee was forced to spend its scarce resources.

Its scarce resources.

They fought a Republican with those resources in Alaska.

Forced to spend its scarce resources protecting a seat that was supposed to be in the bag.

Party leaders began lobbying Romney behind the scenes.

Then a few weeks before the election, Lee appeared on Tucker Carlson's show to call out Romney's lack of support.

The host and senator worked as a tag team, with the former ridiculing Romney and later begging for his endorsement.

This guy is Pierre DeLecto, who marched with Black Lives Matter, who hates the nuclear family and endorsed the riots.

I think he's gone insane, Carlson said.

It's noteworthy here that 48 of my other Republican colleagues are on board with me, Lee said.

At one point, Lee looked

straight at the camera to address Romney.

Please get on board.

Help me win re-election.

Help us do that.

You can get your entire family to donate to me through Lee4Senate.com.

Romney was confused.

Why would Mike Lee draw attention to this?

More than that, though, he was galled by the presumption that he should automatically support Lee with no questions asked.

This guy, he just,

I mean, this is the, this is the

this is the book for elites.

If you want to understand elites and how they view the world and how they hate anyone who is not an elite, who actually believes in something,

who believes in the tea party.

In it, Romney talks about how, oh, in 2012 and 2010, he just had to meet with people that his staff said, you really need to get on board if you're going to have a mass,

you know, wave and you got to get everybody on board.

You got to meet with these people.

And, oh, he just didn't want to meet with all the Baptists and because they were mean.

And he just didn't want to meet with the Tea Party people because they were crazy.

But he gave it a college try.

What a jerk.

What a jerk.

So if you're elite, that book book is coming out soon, I think.

So a question for you, Glenn.

I thought you said it was Romney's book, but he's referring to Romney's book.

It's Romney's book.

Yeah,

it's a book on Romney.

Okay.

Okay, but it's Romney's book.

So yeah, it's a tell-all book.

Right.

He worked closely with the author in some way is the belief.

Yeah, that way he can distance himself from anything, you know.

Of course.

Of course.

Well, it sounds like a lot of fun.

I can't wait to read it.

Let me tell you.

Well, it'll be it'll be the dusty book on the bookshelf, if you ever want to pull it down.

Perfect.

So, and it will be a collector's item because

I imagine there's going to be tens of them sold nationwide.

I do hope that this week can finally dispense with this idea that, you know what?

Mitt Romney, I don't agree with his policies, but I think he's a really good guy.

You know, I think he's a wonderful man.

You know, sure, sometimes I don't agree with him, but you know what?

At the end of the day, he's a really good guy.

Is he?

Is he if he's out here leaking

BS narratives about private meetings?

And

did he bring up the

George Washington letter you gave him that he never returned?

Did he ever see that in the book?

No, I've let that.

No, I've let that go.

Oh, I want to antagonize.

Can I rip at that scab a little bit?

Because I want you to remember it.

Yeah, thank you.

I want you to remember that.

No, I thank you for that.

Just priceless artifact that he just lost.

But anyway,

he didn't know I wanted it back.

How could anyone know that?

And the man who loves America is obviously an original copy of Farewell Address by George Washington.

Why would anybody want that back?

No, and why would you hold on?

I'm just going to put this

right.

Right.

I'm just going to put this here on this table for a while in public.

Anyway,

the other thing you have to glean from this is how disgusted the elites are in our own party by most of the people in their party, the hardworking people, the people that actually believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

They're beneath them, and they'll sully themselves if they have to talk to them, but they're not going to like it.

This is a really good insider view of an elitist.

If you need any more proof, get it at your library.

Okay, back in just a second.

Our sponsor this half hour is Relief Factor.

Maggie wrote in about her experience with Relief Factory.

She says, I live on a horse ranch in the Ozarks, and my great joy in life has always been horseback riding.

But in recent years, I had to cut back and eventually stop because of the back pain.

I was afraid I would never ride again.

Then I heard you talk about Relief Factor, and I tried it.

Within a few weeks, the pain had subsided so much that I'm back in the saddle again.

Maggie, that should be a song.

Thanks for writing in.

Friends,

as we come to the end of our broadcast ministry,

we ask you to quietly leave the chapel as we have to clean it up for the next ministry to come in

like that unwashed heathen Steve Dace

can I get an email in

he's got the devil himself on today I understand at

Stubra gear is he gonna actually be on that Steve Dace program

believe I have he's playing the devil

believe I have.

Steve's going to be showing you what a sinner looks like.

And if you're listening to Sirius XM,

it must be some Protestant ministry because that woman is going to be on the stand,

Megan Kelly.

We would just ask that you would

continue to prepare for what's coming our way, and what's coming our way are true miracles.

I testify to you now

that in our lifetime, we will see the finger, the hand, and perhaps the entire arm of God.

Let's be worthy of serving Him at this time.

All right.

Stu, I'm

I'm dead out.

I've got nothing.

Really?

Is this...

Should

roll the credits because

we got nothing.

I guess we could do that.

I mean, there's several things that we could do here like this.

And there you have it.

Another example of why Glenn Beck is in the Radio Hall of Fame.

I've had Mark Company on one of his broadcasts.

He's like, I'm just clean out of stuff to say, guys.

Hang out.

Hang out just a second.

You can't be inducted into the Hall of Fame more than once.

Okay.

So now that I'm in the Hall of Fame, I don't really give a flying crap.

Oh, I mean, that's.

Now, yeah.

Yeah.

Once you're inducted, I mean, you don't go out.

You don't go out and throw a no-hitter.

You know what I mean?

You're like, I'm in the Hall of Fame.

I've done my work.

I mean, OJ Six is going to be a bit of a Hall of Fame.

So, I mean, if OJ can stay in, you certainly can have a couple of bad shows.

Well, I tell you what, I'm going to have amen, and I am going to, you know,

if I start murdering women,

then I'll put some more work into, you know, my status of the Hall of Fame.

But I'm not going to get in twice, they just won't take me out.
