Well, hello, Stu.

Welcome.

Welcome back to Tuesday.

Yes.

Thank you, Glenn.

Hope you had a good long weekend.

I did.

I did.

I did.

DeSantis had a press conference on

Sunday, and he kind of

he kind of had a problem with the press.

He said,

do you trust the federal government to help?

Seeing what happened in Hawaii just a few weeks ago and East Palestine a few months ago, do you trust the government?

He said, I think Maui is a total catastrophe.

What happened there?

I don't think we have all the answers to that.

I think we should have all the answers to that.

But it's interesting how incurious our corporate media is about what happened in Maui.

I mean, I don't see them interviewing parents who can't find their kids and people we know.

There's a lot of people missing.

So that was a total disaster.

I mean, really heartbreaking to hear some of the stories, even though they're not being publicized.

So

he goes on to talk about how bad things are

in

Maui and how different things are in Florida.

He said, in Florida, we're so fine-tuned that local governments, in some respects, pay even more,

I'm sorry, play even more important roles than the state government does.

This is the way it is supposed to be.

I don't understand.

This is the way everything is supposed to be.

You're not.

The most power, the quickest response should come from

the locals, the cities, then the state, then the government.

But meanwhile,

we have something else going on.

We have homeless people in Wyoming

speaking out about the homeless problem in his city,

claiming they destroyed a motel and left hundreds of pounds of poop.

in the streets and the sidewalk.

This is from Casper, Wyoming.

200 people, homeless, residing there have created a mess.

Stu, listen to

this.

Is this a homeless problem?

Is this truly a homeless problem?

The mayor says it's like nothing I've ever seen.

It's third world country stuff happening in Casper.

He and the city staffers had to clean up 500 pounds of poop downtown.

He said the homeless population stay in nearby parks or sleep in their cars.

He said

in addition to defecating on the streets, they have destroyed a vacant motel.

Nell says this, the mayor says that they've been squatting in the former Econo Lodge motel in Casper and caused millions of dollars in damages.

Pictures show that this is just horrible.

Trash littered, poop on the floors, furniture scattered.

The city has condemned the property property, and now it's been boarded up by the bank.

They destroyed everything.

That's not a homeless problem.

We have had homeless problems before.

Are you saying, are you questioning whether it's homeless people or whether it's a problem?

Is this an ideal situation for you?

No, I think there's something else that is going on besides.

I mean,

I'm sorry.

We've lived with homelessness before.

We've had bad homelessness problems before.

Why all of a sudden is everyone pooping in the streets?

Why is it that they feel they can go into homes or to motels and just destroy them?

It seems to me to be connected to another problem that we're having where people in unison run into stores and just start grabbing things.

I think so.

And they start burning cities to the ground and very few of them see any repercussions from that.

It seems like it's all sort of connected.

A viral video caught the moment that several women engaged in a vicious cat fight in and around port-a-potties at a Morgan Wallen concert in Pittsburgh.

Woman gets into the face of another female concert goer, screams,

F you, you don't cut in front of me.

Then they start shoving each other, and then they, one pushes them, the other one into a port-a-potty, And,

oh, boy.

And then it just gets worse.

What's happening to society?

I'll give you

what some people

are saying is happening.

Concert goers.

This is from Axios.

Concert goers throwing things at performers.

People talking on their cell phones through movies.

Tourists defacing historic landmarks in pursuit of the perfect selfie.

The first truly post-pandemic summer has shown the bad behaviors unleashed during the stress of COVID, and they're not slowing down.

A mix of worsening mental health and decaying societal connections, both

exacerbated by the pandemic, may be driving this trend in rude behavior that could extend far beyond COVID's upheaval, mental health experts told Axius, though factors, other factors are also at play.

The pandemic changed us.

For the first time in anyone's lifetime, it was like every man and woman for himself.

We were fighting over toilet paper.

It broke life as we knew it.

I don't buy that.

I don't buy that.

We were fighting over toilet paper?

I guess some were for a while, but that happens all the time.

You mean as far as whenever there's a tragedy or like a natural disaster or a

natural disaster, that happens all the time.

That's not what broke us.

I do think there was a unique level of stress put on the population by shutting it down for six to nine months.

Yes, but that's not fighting over toilet paper.

Right.

That's true.

That was part of it.

Maybe it was, you know, one of the things people talked about a lot.

But I didn't, I mean, people weren't fighting over anything.

They were all at home.

They were all sitting at home until they started burning cities to the ground.

It was like the two, the two faces.

You know, we were having a conversation about this with some friends.

We had some friends over the other day.

And we were all talking about what happened to us.

There was something

that I would have never predicted.

I would think that we would all want to go back to work and everything else.

All of a sudden, because of the pandemic, nobody wanted to go back to work.

Everybody's like, I'm not going to work.

Why?

What happened?

Everybody is rude to each other.

I don't think that.

I think that has more to do with social media than anything else.

Everybody's, you know, taking pictures of themselves and their food.

And,

you know, I was watching

some people taking selfies.

They were up on the big screen at my son's football game.

And I'm watching them on the big screen.

And there's these women and they're taking pictures, selfies of themselves as a group.

Okay.

And they're all smiling.

and okay.

And then as soon as the picture is taken, they all just like,

yeah, right.

Because that's their real state.

That's their real state.

Yeah.

I see that all the time.

You see that with all the time.

Even with the kids, I've noticed that with my kids, my wife is quite the picture taker on, you know, Instagram and all these other things, loves taking pictures of the kids.

And they've developed that thing where they smile at the camera.

And then as soon as the picture's over, they just go back to normal state.

It's like a totally different thing.

It's not at all capturing reality half times.

Not at at all.

Yeah.

And that's something that's interesting because it's, it's this, you know, this generation of kids are the first ones that really have ever had to deal with that.

Right.

Like we're in that situation where people now growing up, I guess I'd be

now going to probably voting age right now, have been pictures, have had pictures taken of them basically their entire life constantly.

And with a phone.

With a phone.

And they have popped up and smiled and then they've stopped.

and they've they've developed essentially

an innate sense of when to show that they're happy and when to go back to reality.

And I don't know, that probably is going to screw us all up really badly.

You know why I think that there's road rage?

I think our cars became

so

great.

Our own, you know, really great sound system in it.

They're, you know, big.

You're, you're in air conditioning.

You, you're driving around, especially these SUVs, you're driving around your house.

It's your space.

And somebody else who's in front of you or beside you is all of a sudden interrupting you in your space.

There's no shared feeling of traveling.

It's like I'm just in my house traveling.

You have everything that you need.

Some cars even have refrigerators.

I mean,

wow.

I mean,

how thirsty are you all the time?

Or don't you, this sounds awesome.

Don't you disparage it.

Why aren't there refrigerators in my car is really my question?

Like, I like, I can't.

I mean, I think these are positive developments mostly, but it does, I mean, I don't think that you had a shared sense of community while you were driving in your 1968 Oldsmobile.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I just, I don't understand what's happening to us.

I really don't understand the pandemic thing.

I can understand how we have stopped listening to each other.

It's social media.

I can understand how we all just think we're in our own movie.

It's social media.

You know, you're constantly taking pictures of yourself and your food and where you are at and you're faking all of it.

It's not even, it's like a different verse.

It's not exactly faking it.

You know, sometimes some people are doing that, right?

Like, have you ever seen those accounts that

document influencers out in the wild?

Have you ever seen this before?

No.

I think it's a great trend where you just see someone else taking a picture of the influencer trying to get the perfect shot and they just look like idiots.

It's so satisfying because all their pictures, of course, look perfect.

But watching them set up for the pictures, watching video of them try to set up, they just look like complete morons.

And it's so satisfying to look at.

They are borons.

Well, of course.

I guess we all are at

some level, honestly, at this point.

But I do think, I don't know, maybe we're a little different on this one in that I kind of feel like we never have fully paid the price for anything.

For it, well, for anything, for anything.

But for what happened in the pandemic.

Like the fact that we just shut the country down largely for, I don't know, what do you want to say?

Here it was maybe three or four months.

Some places it was 18 months or more.

You know, doing that to a group of people and then throwing in there what I think one of the first effects of the post-pandemic period was the rage that manifested after George Floyd.

And we saw a society that all of a sudden was like, well, rule of law is not really that important to us.

If you have the right opinion, you know, you want to go burn down a city,

you want to to enter a police station and take it over, we're going to kind of shrug our shoulders at that.

And everyone can pretty much go home and we'll say, well, yeah, but racism.

Like that is an, like, those two things together

really put us into a weird place.

And just, you know, economically and societally, like, we have, we've paid a heavy price for that, I think.

But I don't know that we've paid the full price for it yet.

Oh, no, no.

You don't think?

No, we haven't.

Oh, that's great.

I was hoping you'd give some optimism.

I thought we were on the other opposite sides here.

No.

I do feel like we just, you know, economically, we're starting to see something on this, you know,

the deficits exploding again.

We're in peacetime.

This is quote-unquote peacetime, right?

Yes, we kind of are in a proxy war with Russia, but other than that,

this should be a time where our deficits are going down and have gone down in every other similar period throughout history.

The pandemic, it went up.

We all know that.

Wartimes, it goes up.

There are certain circumstances where it explodes, then it comes back down in peacetime.

Well, here we are with Bidenomics in full flow where

we're told everything's wonderful by the president.

The spending, it was supposed to be a trillion dollars over

what we had.

Yeah, spending a trillion dollars more than we actually took in.

It is now $2 trillion.

Double.

Double.

It's doubling in peacetime.

And this doesn't even include what's going to happen with the interest on the debt over a period of time is if these rates stay where they are

or go up.

I mean, we are really, we are really, we're, we're face planting in a lot of these areas.

Look at the audience and see if you have something else that tells us about your Facebook.

Yeah, what are you?

What are you thinking?

Uh, how are you feeling?

American Financing, NMLS, 1-8-2-3-3-4, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

All right, let me tell you a little about American Financing.

I've been talking about them for over a decade.

They truly help people just like you get their financial house in order.

Look, if you're looking down the barrel of debt, and everybody is now, especially high-interest debt, like credit card debt, average credit card is now over 20%.

You really need to give American Financing a call.

Now, you might think, well, I don't even know if I have a good credit score.

2,000 of my listeners have called them just this year to help them save money.

A small number of those

did not have a good credit score to qualify.

American Financing ran all of these people through their credit care program, which is free and it will help you boost your credit score.

So what can they do for you?

There's only one way to find out and that's call them.

Well, hello.

How are you?

Let's go to Missouri.

And is it Seppi?

Yeah, good morning, Glenn.

Hey, how are you?

Good, sir.

So I was watching something on Redacted, and they talked about Russia putting their nuclear arsenal on its highest alert it's ever been.

The Satan II missiles are

being, I guess, prepared for something, and the media is not talking about it.

And I was wondering what your thoughts are, why the media is not discussing this, and

what's the likelihood of us being in a hot war with Russia soon.

So I don't.

You know, I honestly don't know.

Here's what my.

What do they call it?

Combat duty.

They put these weapons on combat duty.

Yeah, is that a problem?

I don't see what could possibly go wrong.

Okay, so here's

what my

gut says.

Times like these to complete fundamental transformations, you need all-out war.

If you listen to the fourth turning, if you look at how these things happen in 80-year cycles or 100-year cycles, you will see that

if you go back, it was World War I.

Then you go back, it was the Civil War.

You go back again, it was the American Revolution.

And

when you get into these time periods, the way to

transform everything is through war.

I

really fear that there are many people in our government

that look at war as a way to

solve a lot of problems,

to

make a fundamental transformation of our nation,

of the

financial situation that we're in, change our dollar into digital, to take control of

the social media and media.

All you need is a full-out war, and you can do those things, just the War Powers Act.

I hope I am wrong,

but I

we are one event away from something,

and we are racing into nuclear war.

Racing into it.

And

I don't understand why.

I've I've never lived in a time period where the government had

no

regard for what the American people were feeling.

I think that people feel like, okay, this could be important or it's not important, whatever.

But very few people are like, yeah, war at all costs.

Except that's what it seems like our government is at.

And

it is

not good.

It's not good.

But

if there is a regime change here in America and it goes to the Republicans, especially if it is Donald Trump, I think

that path will be turned around quickly.

It's whether or not something happens between now and then.

The Glenn Beck program.

Today, when you're driving home from work or to pick up your kids to go get groceries or whatever it is, I want you to remember something.

One of these days, probably not too long from now, something's going to break down in your car.

And when it does, you either have to have deep pockets or have a coverage plan.

Look, I know people are living month to month, paycheck to paycheck.

But when something catastrophic happens, you need to have car shield.

Now, you can get, this is like health insurance for your car, and you can get it as low as $100 a month, flexible month-to-month coverage, and it gives you everything that you need.

It is not a long-term contract.

So, you know, you stop paying, you stop paying.

And when you pay, as you keep that going,

you'll lock in your price.

So your price will never go up no matter how many claims you file.

It won't go up no matter how many miles you put on your car.

Car Shield.

I've had it for years on my trucks.

Hey, welcome to 9.10 a.m.

Detroit's News Talk Super Station.

I should do it like this.

Super Station!

C-K-L-W.

It is 9-10 Detroit's News Talk Superstation, WFDF AM 910.

Thank you so much for listening to the program and joining us, Detroit.

We're glad you're here.

We're talking to, well, first of all, I want to bring Pat in.

Hi, Pat.

Hi, Glenn.

Are you over the Jimmy Buffett?

No.

No, you're not.

No, I'm still in mourning.

It is sad.

It's really sad.

It is.

And I hate seeing these icons from our childhood all dropping over now.

And doesn't it feel like we, I mean, I just, when I heard Jimmy Buffett, you hear somebody else, you know, Elton John died, you'd be like, oh, that's really sad.

But it's not a surprise.

Jimmy Buffett just seemed to be like somebody who.

Can we investigate that?

Why would it be a surprise for Jimmy Buffett to die, but not Elton John?

Because Jimmy Buffett felt like he was going to live forever.

Yeah, okay.

You know what I mean?

He's like on an island.

You know, he's going to be 800 years old.

And you're like, it's Jimmy Buffett.

Yeah.

It does feel like that's how I thought this turned out.

Yeah.

I mean, that's how I thought it would ended.

Yeah.

It just

was only longer than all of us.

Yeah.

He'd just be preserved in some incredible way.

I would think so.

But no.

I would think so.

Yeah, but not.

And he was not the only one.

No.

Gary Rice.

Gary Wright.

Of Dreamweaver fame.

Yeah.

Love is Alive.

Okay.

And

well, I mean, you were too young.

He was singing these songs

when you were born.

So

then there's Steve Harwell from Smash Mouth.

I remember that.

Hey, now, you're an all-star.

Get your game on.

Go play.

So

all musical celebrities, you're safe.

Yeah, they're safe for no.

So at least till the next three.

Until the next three.

The next batch of three.

Any number can be divisible by three if you wait long enough.

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

You're going to John in Ohio.

This is a little frustrating.

Hi, John.

How are you?

Good.

Glenn, I've been a longtime listener for over a decade and love you, but the last couple of months listening to your radio program has been frustrating and leaving me perplexed because

you've said for a long time that we shouldn't treat our politicians as kings and queens, and you've talked about how humble Truman was when he's left.

But listening to your program, it seems that you've put two personalities over what we've always wanted in principle.

So with Trump, it's been almost like we've already coronated him.

And why have the primary?

He's the president.

And it's been all that.

And there's also no reason to say that maybe he's so mad that he would be the strong man you worry about,

using the deep state to exact revenge on his enemies or just use this campaign to pay his legal defense bills.

And then on the other end, it seems at times that you've treated your radio program as an in-kind contribution to Vivek, who I did listen on Friday, but his answers were almost always too perfect.

And then there's also questions about, well, is he really running to run or is he running to elevate his own profile and elevate the money in his own stocks with the companies he started?

But meanwhile, there's a guy in Florida who's been everything we've ever wanted with originalist, conservative values in line with the heart of the founders ever since Reagan's left.

But listening to your program, it's almost been like two personalities, and it's sounded at times as an in-kind contribution for all of those guys.

Aaron Trevor Burrus Well, I'm sorry that you feel that way because it's really not.

I really like DeSantis a great deal.

I started the show with DeSantis and nobody else.

I think the problem comes from

us talking about what is in the news, what's happening.

I am working really hard not to lean one way or another.

I have my own views on DeSantis being president, Vivek being being president, Trump being president.

I have my own views, but

I think 80% of the audience would be surprised by what I think.

There is no in-kind contribution happening on this program.

I am doing my best to stay out of all of this.

And the things that you brought up,

on each of them, I think are true and and should be weighed by every single listener and voter.

You're saying the problems with some of the candidates and the concerns.

That is a very nice answer to that.

That was very, that was very

recent.

Very recent.

Can I give my answer?

Yeah.

That's a dumb point.

You're bringing up a dumb point that's not true.

And I love you, and you're great.

And I love you.

I'm sure you're a great listener.

I appreciate you sticking around.

But that's not true.

None of that's true.

You know, look, you're I think it can it can be perceived

if you are rooting for one candidate.

Right.

If you really like Ron DeSantis, which, by the way, I believe all three of us really like Ron DeSantis.

I think he'd be a great president if he winds up winning this.

Absolutely.

So I have

nothing disparaging at all to say about DeSantis.

I think he's been an incredible, not even a good governor, an incredible governor.

I think he's one of the best governors, politicians I have seen come around.

In my lifetime.

And see, now you're going to get a call from a Trump supporter.

Right, exactly.

Why are you all about Ron DeSantis all the time?

And this is why

you have to understand what it's like to be, you know, to do a show like this in this period.

That's why I always say primary season is the dumbest season.

It's everyone just goes crazy.

It's like everyone loses their mind and acts like every word you say is some dig, some secret dig against another candidate or whatever.

Look, you were very hard on Vivek the other day.

Many of the questions, what we talked about in a previous meeting before talking about Vivek, came from people who don't like Vivek.

Not on the air.

I tend to like him.

I think

he was on the show beforehand.

I think he has a lot to add to the conversation.

I think the criticisms that the caller brought up are legitimate.

I think a lot of them

are legitimate is that he's too smooth or too good.

His answers are too good.

What are you talking about?

That's a weird one.

So you're going to punish him because he's well-spoken, well-thought out, intelligent, has conservative principles?

What are you talking about?

He's too this or too that.

If he's too liberal, that's what you should be going after.

But he isn't.

Wow.

He's not.

Wow.

That sounds to me like

a campaign.

Look at him.

That's a kind contribution.

That's what that is.

Yeah.

Have you thought about it?

I don't like who.

Don't say who.

Have you made your decision on who you know?

Yeah.

Nope.

I have not.

I'm still waiting to hear because I want to get Vivek on the air and ask him the questions you asked him last week.

And he'll come out over some of the stuff.

He likes it.

Look, he likes to, he's one of those guys.

And this is the thing I think people like about him as a candidate.

He likes talking about this stuff.

He'll come on and answer all your questions.

He's been on 9 million shows.

And he likes doing it that way.

He does it well.

And I don't hold that against him.

He's well spoken.

Exactly.

I've been telling you that.

That's a good thing.

If

the crews could speak like Vivek,

he'd be president now.

And I think somebody else who is really, really smooth is DeSantis.

He doesn't have a different style, but I like it.

A different style.

He doesn't have the same style, but he is really good.

The guy just doesn't make foot-in-your-mouth kind of comments very often.

And I thought Vivek did in the

debate.

I thought he made a couple of things that I was like, oh, wow, that wasn't good.

Yeah, the thing with Vivek, which maybe this color was pointing out, and I've heard this from multiple people, is he sort of does feel at times.

Like he's the smart guy you know from work who said something that's not right and keeps thinking he can talk his way out of it.

Right.

Like he's so good at talking.

He feels like he can constantly talk his way out of everything.

And eventually people around you at work kind of roll their eyes at that.

It becomes, it feels inauthentic.

I think DeSantis and his style and Trump and his style certainly seem much more like they're just talking off the top of their heads.

Where it feels at times with Vivek that...

The answer is so well prepared that it almost seems like it can't just be coming off the top of his head.

But he's just a really smart guy.

I know, I think.

I think that is amazing that we would look at somebody who is super, super smart.

And DeSantis is super, super smart as well.

Look at somebody who is that put together and that smart.

And I understand because I think he comes off, you know, his smiles and everything else.

He can come off like a car salesman at times.

Okay.

But that isn't.

To me, that's a car salesman is just kind of smarmy.

It's not that the car salesman is so much smarter than everybody else

on the lot.

You know what I mean?

Right.

And that's the vague.

He is really,

really

a reasoned, probably genius.

That doesn't make him president.

No.

But I mean, it makes him somebody who doesn't ever say um.

And, you know, look, we're not used to that.

All these people that we're talking, I mean, you know, Donald Trump went to Wharton, as he points out often.

He comes from a genius family.

DeSantis was at Yale, right?

I mean, these are not dumb people.

There's a good group of candidates here.

And look, I think what I keep coming back to is it's not our job to be everybody's dad and tell you who to vote for and what to do.

You figured that out on your own.

I think we all kind of come to the conclusion that all these people are better than Joe Biden.

Like we would all prefer any of them.

Jesus Hutchinson is better than Biden.

Yeah, I think that's true.

I do think that's true.

I mean, I don't think he'd be a good president, but he'd be a heck of a lot better than what we're dealing with right now.

Yeah.

And he looked.

I guess so.

It's hard to feel inspired about it.

As I'm thinking about it, I'm like,

oh, he is so bad.

A bowl of Campbell's soup would be better than Joe Biden.

I mean, the guy is the worst.

He is the worst.

He's the worst president of all time.

It's not.

It's just him, though.

It is, it is, this whole deep state

has just taken root and is just chugging.

That is the the question.

Who is it that has the best plan for taking on the deep state?

And part of me says Donald Trump because

Donald Trump's just a wrecking ball.

I mean, he'll just go in and just be like, woohoo.

That's true, but it thrived while he was president.

He clearly did, right?

I mean, it's hard to argue that.

But he has also told me that he didn't understand how deep it was.

Right.

And now he does.

So maybe he has the most clear understanding.

Right.

DeSantis has to be.

But he also is a little scary on that because,

you know,

I mean,

a surgical knife would be better than nitroglycerin.

Right.

And I think the argument on the DeSantis side, I'm sure this is what the caller, who clearly was a DeSantis supporter, was bringing up is, you know, I think DeSantis has had that surgical approach in Florida.

Yes, he has.

I mean, he's gone after the specific,

the specific prosecutors.

He's gone after certain companies and the giveaways that they've had.

Obviously, Disney being the highest profile example there, he has used those sort of approaches.

And Vivek has a very bold plan, I mean, some people think it's a way over the top bold

plan going into the Oval Office.

Fire them all?

That doesn't seem over the top.

Fire them all.

Some argue that

some of his plans don't necessarily fall on the right side of the constitutional balance, but hey, look, that's what I'm saying.

The problem is the administrative state.

Okay.

So which candidate is going to cut the administrative state and give the power back to Congress?

Which candidate will do that?

The best argument I have heard is, wait, if I'm the administrator,

I'm the head of the administrative state.

So

all these cabinet

agencies, they all work for me.

If I can't fire them,

then I work for them.

Who is their boss?

Who can fire them?

That, I think,

that should be decided by the Supreme Court.

If the president can't fire people in his own agencies where he is the head,

who do they work for?

Who do they work for?

I like that myself.

Fire them all.

Yeah, no, I'm in a fire.

There's a lot of merit to that.

Many of them deserve to be fired.

All right, back with more in just a second.

Today is the day for your voice to be heard.

I want to talk to you about real estate agents I trust.

This is my company.

This is a company that I started with Robert, who was, we grew up together.

He lived in our house.

He's like my brother.

And we were both frustrated about real estate and buying and selling houses.

And, you know, how do you find a great real estate agent?

Started doing work with the 500 best real estate agents in the country.

That's according to the Wall Street Journal.

And I started asking them questions.

After a few years, just getting to know these people, how do you sell houses?

What makes a good real estate agent?

What are the best practices?

There really is a

step-by-step kind of formula.

If you really want to be great, there are best practices.

And so these are the things that we look for in real estate agents.

And then we look for their character as well.

Somebody that you know you can do a deal on a handshake.

You might have a contract, but they're handshake people.

That's where you should go if you're buying or selling a house across the street or across the country.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Let's go to Eric in Washington.

Hello, Eric.

Hey, good morning, Glenn.

How are you, sir?

I'm very good.

Hey, just real quick, you and I do have a lot in common.

Michael O'Shea was my very first GM in radio.

Oh, my gosh.

And you graduated high school with my brother, Glenn.

Really?

He

seed home high school class of 1982.

Oh, my gosh.

That's amazing.

So how can I help you?

Well, so when I initially got on, I wanted to go in a specific direction, but the previous conversation took me in a completely different area, and it has more to do with...

You know, what social media is doing to people and the strategy for being able to not only win the White House, but really understanding what is going to happen if Trump gets acquitted of anything or even wins the presidency.

And this goes back to what you talked about prior to the last election and the plans that the left had put together if Trump won.

And the reality is what they're going to have this time, and I would guess you would agree with this, is going to be tenfold.

the amount of riots and violence and everything they're going to do on the street.

And I honestly think that what they're doing to Trump right now can play into our favor if

we as a conservative group and Republicans spent more time, or I should say

be more

nuanced.

In other words, one, we got to get Trump to stop bashing DeSantis because that's not helping anybody.

It's not even helping him.

We need to support all the candidates.

I shouldn't say all.

Vivek, DeSantis, Trump.

And even though I don't agree with her on Ukraine, I'll even put Nikki Haley in there as an example.

Because if we can get attention on them and take a lot of it off of Trump, I honestly believe it's going to take away a lot of the energy and steam that the left is using to persecute Trump and get it focused elsewhere and get the American people focused elsewhere.

Eric, I want you to hold on for a second because I would like you to go to where you apparently were going in the first place because I have some questions on that one.

Thanks for your call.

Let's go to Eric in Washington.

Eric.

Hey, there you go, Glenn.

So

you called in because you think that I should go on the road more?

Well, that was the original intent of the call.

But again, like I said, the other callers kind of shifted me in a different direction when you were doing your restoring events I was noticing a really big shift even among people that I know they were really starting to pay attention really starting to listen and I think conversations were happening

and

you have a unique ability to bring people together when you're out there in the public and to be able to create a movement and when you're sitting in a studio it's a little bit more difficult to create that movement.

And now more than ever, we need to bring people together.

And yes, obviously, because you're a conservative, there are going to be some people that just are not going to listen to you.

And I get that.

But the independents, the people that have the eyes and ears to see and hear,

If we can get out there and create more of these type of events, it's going to be able to, one, take focus off of Trump.

It's going to take focus off of some things, and it's going to create a distraction that, one,

will accomplish two things.

It will start reaching people's hearts.

If we can reach people's hearts, not trying to talk them into anything, but just connecting with their hearts, that will begin to move them.

The media is going to hate on you, which we don't want that, but unfortunately, from a strategy, it's just if we can get them focused on what you're doing,

it can be a distraction away from what they're trying to do with Trump.

And it will allow President Trump, if he would, again, have the maturity to get off of DeSantis and just focus on his record,

he could then start to gain even better headway with independents who are still a little bit shaky on him.

So that's kind of where my thought process is.

All right.

Eric, thank you very much.

We have talked about going on the road.

It is just mind-boggling expensive

and

I don't like charging people an arm and a leg to be able to go and see something or do something,

especially at this time.

I don't know where we're going to come down on this, but we are in talks of doing something next year,

probably

as many as 10 or 12 stops around the country.

All right, let me go to Ed in Florida.

Hello, Ed.

How are you doing, Glenn?

Good morning, Stu.

Just going back to something you talked about on Friday, I was coming home from Oregon, and something was telling me, you know, I'm a recovered alcoholic, and something was telling me, listen to the Glenn podcast.

And so I put it on, and it talked about, you were talking about Oliver Anthony and how he became a broken man and, you know, going through those first three steps.

And, you know, I think that's where our country is having problems.

It's, you know, you're talking about, as I was listening in, you know, people taking selfies.

Well, that's the thing, right?

Everybody's just full of themselves.

They could care less about, you know, their neighbor.

And, you know, the government is their God and their cell phones are their God.

And, you know, if we could get back to what it is that made this country great, you know, the Jedeo Christian values that, you know, we try to practice as recovered alcoholics.

And,

you know, listening to what Oliver Anthony had to say and how you related it to those steps, and you know, it really touched me again that, you know, it is God that did all these things for us, you know, and it is God that, you know, carries me through the day.

And when I when I give the glory to Him instead of to myself, you know, that's that's where I see the change this country needs.

And I've been praying on that.

You know, I know that I listen to you and, you know, pray for this country because we are so divided.

It's sad.

As I was traveling through Portland to the airport to get back here to Florida,

to see all the people living in

homeless encampments,

and that's not,

it's sad and depressing, but

what can I do to help them?

And that's what I think we need to get back to.

So I just wanted to hear your thoughts on that.

Thank you, Ed.

You know, I've said this for years.

If our country would

really come to the conclusion that we are powerless over what ails us, that we keep trying to do the right thing.

And no matter what happens, it just gets worse and worse and worse.

This is what alcoholics go through.

They try and they fail and it gets worse and then they try again and it fails and it gets worse.

At some point, you reach a breaking point and you're like, I can't do it anymore.

And so then you're left in this place of, okay, so is life worth living

or not?

And those that recover

realize, yes, life is worth living.

Those countries that will survive will be the country that says,

no, these principles and this system is worth saving.

It's just gone so far off the rails.

And I can't fix it.

That's the first step.

Once you get there, once you've humbled yourself enough, and that is the problem, as Ed was just saying, we're not a humble people.

And we will be humbled.

We will be humbled.

Let's go to Mike in Illinois.

Hi, Mike.

Hey, Glenn, first-time caller, fairly new listener about a year.

Oh, wow.

Thanks.

No problem.

I got a quick

off-the-topic question for you real quickly.

A little while ago, there was a guy whose name sounded like Glenn.

He was talking to a car dealer out in Oklahoma about some Dodge, thousand horsepower Dodge.

Did he purchase that vehicle?

Just kind of inquiring.

Just,

yeah.

I know who you were referring to there.

Friend of yours, right, Glenn?

Friend of mine.

Yeah, he did.

His wife was not really

excited about that.

But we'll leave it there.

We'll leave it there.

We'll leave it there.

Okay, that's

good with that.

Anyway, again, fair enough.

I am an owner, opera.

I'm a truck driver.

Fuel prices are back up again.

No one's really talking about it again.

Last week, I spent over $1,800 in fuel.

Yeah, so

rates are still low.

Fuel prices are still high.

I switched companies.

I'm hauling a flatbed doing a lot of steel work right now.

And

construction's up, though.

I mean, I'm hauling a lot of rebar, a lot of steel, and a lot of job sites and bridges, buildings, stuff like that.

So that part of the economy is going well.

Also, due to news media and our

president idiot in office was stating how last week

was that unemployment's down and economy is doing great.

Easter failed to mention about the 300,000 truck drivers just got lost by yellow freight last month.

Yep.

You know, none of that.

It's all the smoke and mare shell games.

I love my country.

I'm just so fed up and distrustworthy with the government on both sides, really.

I favor the Republican side, but on both sides,

I'm having a hard time trusting any of them.

Oh, yeah.

I think you are, yeah, I think that's a healthy place to be.

You should never trust the government.

That's a very American idea.

George Washington talked about that, that government is like fire.

It's fine if you control it.

But if you don't control it, it will control you.

And so we should be skeptical of our government because they are the ones that are supposed to protect our rights.

and they've done everything.

And this is both sides.

They have done everything

to violate our rights.

You know, you could talk about COVID all day long, but I could talk to you about the Patriot Act, which, you know, Republicans were really the pushing of that.

That's a huge violation.

Nobody seems to care about the Bill of Rights anymore.

By the way, you were talking about

how the president was celebrating all of these great things.

Yeah, apparently

we've not been told the truth on

a lot of this.

Most Americans now, inflation, mortgage rates over 7%.

Credit card, the APR now is north of 20%.

This has put 61%

of U.S.

consumers into a paycheck to paycheck.

That's two percentage points higher than it was in June.

More consumers of all income brackets reported now living paycheck to paycheck.

The share of low-income

consumers, those earning less than $50,000 living paycheck to paycheck, increased the most,

rising from 74% in July to 78%.

Among among consumers earning between 50 and 100.

65%

lived paycheck to paycheck now.

The share of high-income consumers earning more than $100,000 annually living paycheck to paycheck increased the least, but it's still 44%.

That's disturbing when you have a great number of our fellow Americans, over half,

not able to afford a meal or a payment if that paycheck stops, especially when you look at

what is happening.

The jobs numbers are not what you're being told.

They've revised all of the job numbers.

They've overestimated the job number every single month, sometimes by 100 and some thousand.

However,

if you look at what's happening even with the job numbers, according to the U.S.

Bureau of Labor Statistics, came out this weekend,

between July and August, there was a decrease of 1.223 million native-born people in the workforce.

Wait a minute.

What?

Between July and August, there was a decrease of 1.223 million Native-born people in the workforce, which is a low not beaten since the jobs crash of COVID.

It's a weird way of phrasing that.

You're saying, is that just that people are

American citizens that are Native American, like not Native American as in

so think of this?

If you're born in the United States, you had a job,

that number has decreased in one month by a million two.

When it comes to foreign-born workers, in the same month, 688,000 increase.

So people born here in America are losing their jobs, and those who are coming across the border are gaining those jobs.

And does it break that into legal and illegal?

It does not.

It does not in this particular stat.

That would be another interesting layer to know

there and what those jobs are, right?

I mean, is it a situation where high-paying jobs are going away and people are being hired, but they're being hired at lower rates for jobs that aren't as prestigious?

That can be an issue.

That's biodiomics for you, right?

And I think one of the best things that's happened over the past six months, and I mean this seriously going into the next election, is that they have embraced this biodiomics then.

Yes.

The fact that they want you to know this economy is theirs.

That's what they want you to know.

Unlike let them own it.

Unless Obama.

Obama.

Obama for eight years.

It was push, bush, bush, push, push, push.

Okay.

It was always for eight years.

This guy is owning it and saying it's working.

That shows how out of touch, not just him, but the entire administration is.

Yep.

Back in just a second.

If you have a difficult time dropping off to sleep at night, please, will you try something?

It's Relief Factor Sleep.

It's just like regular Relief Factor that you take for pain.

Relief Factor sleep is 100% drug-free.

Blend of natural ingredients, designed to promote healthy sleep.

It reduces anxiety and distress and improves mood.

I should take this stuff by the handful.

Anyway,

I use it.

I take it probably a couple of times a week.

My wife does the same thing.

It's $19.95, your first bottle.

Just try it.

See if it doesn't work for you.

Get a natural sleep aid, something that you'll not feel in your system.

You'll wake up feeling refreshed.

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

That's 800 for relief, or relieffactor.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

Calvin in Illinois.

Hello, Calvin.

Hi,

thanks for taking my call.

I'm a longtime listener.

I'm 23 years old, so that means

my grandma used to make me watch you when I was growing up.

So

you actually were a big part of what inspired me to become a journalist.

So that's what I'm doing now.

Good.

And

in doing so in college, I had to take a good hard look at the other side of the aisle and really try to wrestle with those ideas and I really did it and it changed it changed me a lot and you know it put me down a difficult path but one that I'm glad to have gone down and

and in recent months I've just been looking at

been watching RFK Robert Kennedy

and listening to his message and I think that you know in listening to you i think you know his type of olive branch

uh

olive branch sort of politics like a view on how we have to guide our conversation could really resonate with you.

And I just wanted to know what your perspective on him is and whether or not you'd have him on the show as well.

We've invited him several times.

I think he was supposed to be on with me on a podcast last month.

Apparently, we can't get schedules together, but I hope to have him on.

I actually like Robert F.

Kennedy Jr.

on many of the things that he says.

On many of the things he says, I find him to be extraordinarily dangerous.

He is, he's right about the FBI, and he knows the justice system and FBI and CIA from experience in his family.

I think he truly knows what the deep state is.

And I like that about him.

However, I like what he said on vaccines, but he's an anti-vaxxer.

So you look at him the way he says things and you're like, yeah, you're right.

They don't have a right to do those things.

They can't tell me what to put into my body.

However, he is very, very

fascistic when it comes to global warming.

He will put you in jail.

He has called for me to be put in jail

back in 2009 or 10, somewhere in that area, had him on the program and he said that I should be jailed and dubbed a traitor and tried for treason.

To be fair, I don't think he ever said you should be in jail.

He just wanted you executed.

So I think that that's

no, he did say he wanted the quote was, and it was not just you, it was you and Rush Limbaugh, that he wanted to be

treated as a traitor by the country.

And he said

multiple times.

Yeah.

And that's what, of course, the Constitution calls for in that particular case.

And he was very specific about not just in a colloquial sense.

I mean, he went, he went farther than that.

So look, and that's just, and that's an old one.

Like, I've talked to some people around here who kind of like RFK.

They're like, oh, that was a long time ago.

He's changed.

Well, first of all, I haven't seen him really admit that he's changed on that.

But okay.

I just think, too, you see him now.

He's for things like affirmative action.

I mean, he decried the Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action that we all praised.

There's a lot of that stuff that people like to overlook because they like other viewpoints of case.

He has also just come out for 3%

guaranteed by the government three percent mortgage rates that might sound good until

people start to default on their mortgage and that goes to the taxpayer that is that is absolutely a very very dangerous idea i i like the way he is presenting himself right now I would love to be able to reach across and find an independent thinker.

He is independent.

He has a lot of experience with deep state, but he is also

very

totalitarian in many ways or areas.

Hope that helps you.

Please question everything I say.

Look it up for yourself.

The Glenn Beck Program.

You know, it isn't just some women who regret getting an abortion.

A recent study found that over 60% of women regret having an abortion.

Isn't that crazy?

You never hear that stat.

Over 60%?

This is why pre-born exists.

They're there for women during their darkest hour when they're deciding between life and death for a child.

But they're also there for them afterward because women feel trapped.

They don't know what to do.

Maybe they don't have the support around them.

Maybe they don't have the money.

They feel completely alone.

But

with pre-born, they give

the women a free ultrasound, introduces her to a baby.

That doubles the chance she's going to choose life.

Then when she does, pre-born is there to help her for up to two years with additional support.

When you support pre-born, you not only support women, you empower them.

Something the left only thinks they understand.

Taking your phone call today, 888-727-BECK.

We just had somebody on who wanted to know about RFK.

And,

you know, when it comes to the Republicans, I don't want to tell you what to do, who to vote for.

You're smart enough to figure that out.

And I trust the American people.

I have been wrong too many times.

But when it comes to RFK Jr.,

I would urge you to think

about what attracts you to him.

Because what is attracting you to him,

I would imagine, is the same kind of stuff that attracts me to him.

I hear him speaking and when it comes to COVID, and I agree with him,

completely out of control.

When I hear him talk about the Justice Department and the FBI completely out of control, I agree with him.

And then there's something else that is new in American politics.

He's bucking the system, and they are trying to fight against him.

The left is treating him a little bit like they treat Donald Trump.

And so you see who his enemies are and that they don't want him.

And you're like, okay, maybe he's somebody I should look at.

And maybe he is somebody you should look at.

I think you should look at all of them.

But look deeply.

Look past those kinds of things.

You know,

we're in a place right now where people feel so persecuted that they are willing to

step up.

Let's take Donald Trump, for instance.

I don't think there's anybody who has been more investigated.

in the history of the world than Donald Trump.

Every agency,

every spy agency,

you know, every FBI Interpol, you know, in every major country, they have investigated Donald Trump.

They've looked at everything.

Much of the world didn't want Donald Trump to be president because of the WEF and all of the plans, and he's an American first kind of guy.

So you know they investigated him.

This is the best they can come up with?

To me, I find that shocking.

I really do.

I find that shocking.

For a guy who is in international business at the level that he is at,

that this is what you can come up with?

Yeah, you talk to legal experts and they're like, the best thing they have here is he put those documents in his bathroom.

I mean, that's crazy.

Okay.

Let's say he said that.

Oh, that's what we're worried about.

That's the big thing.

Honestly, I would have thought that there was you know some sort of corruption just because he's a new york businessman that builds buildings quickly in new york usually that's because say you know we're gonna do a little work here you know what i'm saying

none of that none of that so what do they do

they keep trying to cover their own tracks and keep trying to accuse him of different things.

They can never get the goods on him.

The media completely goes nuts.

Now, Adam Schiff is now talking about using the 14th Amendment, which the 14th Amendment means if you have been involved in sedition,

that you can't serve.

So if they can't put him in jail, they're now talking about

painting him as someone engaged in sedition

instead of just letting the people decide.

Let the people decide.

There's an election coming.

Let the people decide.

For people who talk about democracy as much as the left does, they don't trust the voters.

They'll make the decision for you.

And so I think a lot of support comes from, I mean, I feel this way.

Donald Trump has done a lot for the country.

He doesn't have to.

And

he's going through all of this

because

he stood up for some of the things that I agree with.

And this is a real injustice.

And I think a lot of people feel like this is an injustice I might be able to correct with my vote because people feel like they can't do anything.

That is fine as long as you have more than that to vote for.

And with Donald Trump, you can find many things.

With RFK,

you kind of feel the same way, not to the extent of Donald Trump.

But make sure you're looking into the whole picture.

Don't be ruled by your emotion.

You never make a good choice when you're ruled by emotion, especially fear or anger.

Let me go to Brad on line four.

Hello, Brad.

Hello, Glenn and Stu.

Good morning.

How are you?

Great.

Thank you.

Hey, I wanted to call and share an experience that my wife and I recently had in taking an RV motorhome trip through the United States, specifically the western part of the United States, including California, Oregon, Washington, etc.

And what we found and experienced was the American people are fantastic.

We found friendly, helpful,

unbelievable people along the way, not to mention the beautiful scenery that this country offers.

But it renewed my confidence in the American people and love for them.

So I would encourage you to, anybody who has the opportunity, go do that.

It's only when you get to the large cities.

that you see the despair and the destruction.

Brad, thank you.

I wish we had kind of an electoral college for states because our states are being dragged down by these cities.

Everybody's living in the cities, and it's the same problem that they tried to solve with the Electoral College and did solve it with Electoral College.

They just didn't understand cities the way we have cities today.

We had all these farmers out there.

So we had people in the countryside.

They had to be.

But once we had the Industrial Revolution, things changed.

And now cities are controlling our states.

And that's really not a healthy thing because

they go a different direction entirely and don't reflect the suburbs or the,

you know, for sure, the farmlands of America.

And their voices need to be, me, be heard.

I will say another thing.

I remember driving in my grandfather's old Chevy.

And my grandfather was a jovial kind of guy.

I always thought he was Santa Claus.

White hair, blue eyes.

He looked like Spencer Tracy.

And he was magical.

And

he could tell stories, and it was always a great time with my grandfather.

We were driving in a truck, we were coming over a bridge,

and my grandfather got really quiet.

I've told the story before.

He looked over at a farm

and he said,

You know,

just before the war,

there was this great Japanese family that lived there.

Okay.

And my grandfather's eyes welled up.

And they moved away and they never came back.

Well, they didn't move away.

I didn't know this as a kid.

They didn't move away.

They were taken to an internment camp.

It was the first time I ever saw that kind of emotion from my grandfather.

The American people are good,

but the American people can be led into disastrous thinking

if they're hungry or they're afraid.

America is about to become hungry, and we're already afraid.

Fear does not come from

any place good.

Fear does not come from God.

He may warn you, but he's not threatening you.

Until we get a handle on

true principles,

I agree Americans are great.

They're good.

They know the difference, generally speaking, from right and wrong.

All across the country, families are families.

I I found this in Israel.

Palestinians, when you talk to them as individuals, they want peace as much as the Israelis do when you talk to them as individuals.

But when you get the governments involved, that all goes to hell.

But they're both good people.

Good families.

We have to first decide who we are.

A.

Was this nation founded on correct eternal principles?

B.

Do our mistakes

outweigh the good things?

Are the mistakes fixable?

Three, is it worth saving?

Answer those questions.

Start there.

More in just a second.

It's time we fight back against the woke mob.

The woke mob, we fight them with our votes.

We fight them with our dollars.

We fight them in our zoning boards and

our school

education committees.

We fight them all we can.

Who's standing there with us?

Well, let me tell you, Patriot Mobile, they offer nationwide coverage, giving you access to all three major networks because they're on the same towers.

Means you're getting the same coverage that you're accustomed to, but the big mobile companies are taking some of their profits and they're sending that money to things that you're fighting against.

Patriot Mobile is actually fighting for religious freedom.

They're fighting for freedom of speech, sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, our military, veterans, our first responder heroes.

They're fighting for these people.

That's where they're sending their money.

The Glen Beck Program.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Let me see.

Let me go to Sue.

Hello, Sue.

How are you?

Hi, Glenn.

Thank you for taking my call.

I've watched you for 25 years.

Wow, thank you.

Yes.

I called because I have the answer to your question from the first hour about what has happened to us.

And you really answered it in the last segment.

And it's Psych 101.

It's fear.

The fear that has been installed into the world,

I don't think people realize the depth and also what it makes people do.

And I'm still seeing it every day.

I saw it yesterday.

I have a friend who's very, very liberal.

Love her dearly.

She's going to Egypt and she's going on about I need to get the vax and all.

And I'm like, It doesn't work.

It doesn't work, honey.

And she's looking at me like I'm an idiot, you know.

And I said to her, Have you heard the reports?

It's not as strong as it was.

And we now have drugs that can help you get over it.

And she's looking at me like, I don't know what I'm talking about.

But they don't read, they don't listen.

And whatever they're listening to, they're not being told.

Yeah, I was going to say, they may read and listen, but it depends on what you read and listen.

And

we tend to see the mainstream media less and less now, but I

find that good for the conservatives, that we

have to read it.

Unfortunately, we respond to it instead of making our own way.

But

yeah, it's

the COVID thing.

I am shocked that people still believe in

this COVID.

vaccine is going to work and that it's good.

There is a lab study that is just out.

We'll talk about it probably tomorrow.

Lab study that is out that's showing that you may have a greater chance of getting this version of COVID

if you've been vaccinated or if you've had COVID before.

So go ahead, Stu.

Yeah, and there's been a lot of internet spreading on that.

What the study seems to actually say is it's if you, and this is talking about all immunity.

So it's vaccine or if you are unvaccinated but happen to have COVID previously, you are, this particular strain, they believe, is, you're more likely to be infected with than previous strains.

So it does not mean if you have immunity, you're more likely to get COVID here.

That's not what it says.

It says that it's more likely for you to get this particular strain than previous strains.

Again, I think the caller's point is spot on when it comes to fear being a huge part of this.

Well, here's the problem.

CDC released the report on August 23rd, and it said under current risk assessment, it said, BA.2.86 may be more capable of causing infection in people who have previously had COVID-19 or who have received the COVID-19 vaccines.

End quote.

Okay.

Now it's updated.

Seven days later, it was updated to say scientists are evaluating how previous immunity from vaccines or past infections protect against this new variant.

Right.

Why would you change that?

I mean, you know, a lot of people were sharing it and saying things that weren't true about it, and maybe they're trying to clarify if you want to give the best case scenario on that.

I mean, I think the truth is, of course, they can't possibly know if it's a brand new

strain.

They can't possibly know.

So, how can you possibly make a vaccine for a variant that's just popping up and have it ready to go?

The Glenn Back program.

Well, we celebrated you this past weekend.

You're one of the men and women who get up every day, go to work, put your pants on, come home, eat dinner, go to bed, and do it all over again.

Rather than allowing a factory to close,

American Giant decided we got to keep people at work.

We have to take

you when you take pride in your work, you take pride in your community and everything else.

They started producing high-quality American clothing with American cotton and American workers.

For Independence Day, they created a t-shirt that said American Made across the state.

I'm told a few remain.

They sold them again for Labor Day.

And it says at the hem of the t-shirt, when you buy American Made, you create jobs for the people who sew, cut, factory workers in the towns and cities all across America.

It's more than an income.

It's pride and purpose.

Get your American Made t-shirt at American-Giant.com/slash Glenn.

This is the Glen Back Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Back Program.

Mark Meadows has just pleaded not guilty in the Georgia election case.

We'll have more on that coming up in just a second.

Also, I really want to talk to you.

We're going to get right to the phones: 888-727-BECK.

We begin in 60 seconds.

First, let me tell you, there is growing alarm.

The GDP data has been revised downwards.

The jobs revised downwards.

Bidenomics

is

all that we told you it would be.

It's wonderful, isn't it?

The Federal Reserve is now saying, had the guts to come out this weekend and say, you know,

with the job numbers actually going down

and the price of things going up and people not having savings and living, you know, hand to mouth,

This is actually reason we may not have to increase the interest rates.

In other words, what they've said is we've destroyed enough jobs and destroyed enough wealth in the average person

that maybe we don't have to keep destroying it.

That's what they're doing.

And I have to tell you, if we go to war or we have some really bad shock, you're going to see our dollar take a nosedive.

Already, today, we just got news that our deficit is twice the the number that we thought it was.

You know, we have a debt, a U.S.

debt, but the deficit is the yearly debt.

How much money are we taking in?

How much are we spending?

And then what's the deficit?

Joe Biden with Bidenomics said, oh, it's going to be a trillion dollars, and that's a good thing.

Celebrate.

No, as it turns out now, it's $2 trillion

this year.

Not a trillion.

So we've doubled that.

What do you think that's going to do?

Please call goldline now help them or let them help you navigate through the choppy waters here of the unpredictability of our economy goldline can help you for uh for every tube of the quarter ounce gold mayflower rounds if you secure one tube of them Goldline is gifting you 25 Mayflower rounds in silver, but also topping,

All right, let me go right to the phones.

Rosa in California.

Hello, Rosa.

Hi, how are you?

I'm very good.

So I am so freaking honored to finally talk to you.

I always

imagined me

dragging you into this mission I had in California when I came here as an immigrant, as a Dutch farmer who saved the world, starting in LA.

I always thought I would share my American dream with you, but never I thought it would be when it turned into this California nightmare.

So you came from

Holland.

You're a Dutch farmer.

Why did you come here?

And when?

Oh, that was

in the beginning it was love.

No.

When I was eight years old, Ronald Reagan said, Let's make America great again.

And I had a box of country and Western records that I was listening to, and I wanted to be an American cowgirl.

And a little bit I go.

Yeah, so you moved to California.

And California was, I would imagine, fairly good for a while.

When did you start to question your move?

When I uh

thought it was cool as an agricultural activist and accidental city farmer at that point, um Garcetti dragged me into some

Green New Deal BS

stuff.

I realized I was being used to play the green card and it was kind of

um I was interviewed interviewed for the LA Times about how I obtained the URL makeamerica greatagain.com

and

they turned it into this hit piece when I didn't want to play that I was this Bernie Sanders babe

and

they turned the end of the article into that I was some crazy white trash Trump supporting butcher that would butcher my own favorite sheep, which wasn't even true, but it was kind of a revenge of those people on the LA Times.

So you were the original owner of MakeAmericagreat.com?

No, strange enough, I got it before Trump got elected.

I got it in September.

I got it from a lady who was the original owner.

She had it for two years.

She was a lady in the Midwest, and she put it on eBay.

And I found out through some back record.

My brother was a professional hacker so I learned to think R2

to look in the back record

and I found out it was kind of this hidden auction that I thought I got like into and I thought it was super cool that I was playing with the big guys.

And I was there waiting for the day and nothing happened in the 10 minutes before the auction on eBay was over and I ended up

being impatient.

I actually had an inspector, I was trying to fight for the city farm with Eric Garcetti, actually, the court case I mentioned.

I had an inspector outside, and I thought, these people need the bus to move because I want to know who's going to own this website.

So I

do something there and show my projects to save the day and help people, and homeless sheep wagons, and

the cheap solutions to fixing homeless problems and that LA can't afford.

So anyway, long story short, I ended up bidding $5,000 that I didn't have.

You can read all this in the LA Times and look up my my name and farmer.

And then it happened that I own it and my whole family, neighbors, everybody turned against me just for owning the website.

Did you sell it to Trump?

No, I've been sitting on it and people call me crazy.

I lost my friends, family, my home, everything over it.

And I'm hustling with my kids on the street.

But we're on a mission and we have dual citizenship.

We can go back to Spain or where I grew up or to Holland.

And that's what we'll do eventually.

But first, I do want to show them.

And that was my main question to you.

So much time I've been trying to teach them the art of never giving up and go for it.

And I've had so much loss and they've seen me suffering so much.

Basically,

since they were born, it was not good for them, the situation.

And then we lost our home in 2018.

I've been living with them in a car on the streets in LA.

And now I want to teach them the art of giving up.

Like, how do you do that?

They're like 10 and 11.

And how do you switch to that?

And how do you literally bow out?

Bow out?

Bow out.

So

let me

see see if I have this right

you are

you've taught your kids not to give up now you want to teach your kids that it's okay sometimes to give up

do I have that right

yeah but still I don't want to leave America you know I was taught to leave a place at least the same or preferably better than how you find it right and I don't want to leave this place with all my plans and dreams.

And people that invested and helped from all over the world and in the background have been supporting me and waiting for me to expose this corruption I've been saying.

I want to show that, but I don't need to be in America if we have dual citizenship and we can go back to Europe.

So we can do it remotely.

All right.

Rosa, thank you for your call.

I think

it's a very complex question.

The name of my company is Mercury Radio Arts.

And the reason I named it that is because

one of my heroes

is Orson Welles.

At eight years old, I listened to War of the Worlds and I listened to The Shadow, which starred Orson Welles.

And I loved his ability to

paint with his mouth.

He could, he painted pictures with the words that he spoke.

And I always,

I just was fascinated by him from eight.

And the more I learned about him, the more I learned, don't ever give up.

Don't ever say it can't be done.

He did amazing things

for a while.

At 23, he was on Broadway.

At 23, he was

directing his own theater.

Biggest star on Broadway, biggest star on radio, 23 years old.

But by the time he was 35,

he was pretty much, he had set his course for the rest of his life being kind of a disaster.

And that's because he took on something.

He took on Citizen Kane and

wanted to tell a story that everybody said don't do it it'll destroy you because it was about William Randolph Hearst the most powerful man in movies and and radio and everything else

but he did it anyway

and then he couldn't let it go

and it destroyed him

He fought the good fight

and because it didn't turn out he felt wronged

And he could never go back.

He couldn't get past it.

And so he couldn't build a future.

I love the fact that when somebody says, oh, you can't do that, you'll never be able to do that.

Every time somebody has said that to me in my life, pretty much I've done that.

But there have been things that they have said, you can't do that.

And I found out, oh, you know what?

They were right.

That didn't work out really well.

And you move on.

You can't keep beating the same drum over and over again.

So if things aren't working for you,

find a different

way.

Find a different path.

Don't keep going back.

It didn't work for a reason.

Figure what that reason is and and move on.

Otherwise, you'll never grow.

All right, back in just a second.

Judy wrote in about her experience with a relief factor.

She says, I'm amazed.

The next step on my knee was getting it replaced.

I've been through all the injections, but there was nothing helping.

I tried Relief Factor.

When I did, I was able to remove my brace and walk without pain.

Then I ran my own experience and quit taking it.

I did that too.

Within three days, I was back to the brace and barely walking again.

I am still taking it every single day, and you better believe I'm singing its praises.

Relief Factor exists to give you back the life you love.

Try the three-week quick start.

It's $19.95.

It's a trial pack.

You don't feel it in your body, so you'll do the same thing that I did and Judy did, and that is, all right, it's not this, it's something else.

Oh, no.

No, no, you stop taking it and you're like, oh, yep, yep, yep, it is.

But it's a good testimonial builder.

You know it works.

Let's go to Frank in Pennsylvania.

Hello, Frank.

Hey, guys.

How are you?

Good.

How are you?

Good.

So

my first question is, where's Bill O'Reilly?

But that's not my main point.

My main point is

so many times on other channels, the left-wing channels,

we hear things that are demonstrably untrue.

The Reeds, the Chuck Taz, all of these people say things that are just not so.

You can prove it.

Why can't or don't people

like yourselves call them out by name, say, look, I'm going to say that you are lying to the American public on the air, and I challenge you to come onto my program and

talk about it and

discuss it?

Well, for a couple of reasons we don't do that, Frank.

And it's a reason why we play the soughts or or the sound of them saying what they do say on their shows and then and showing you.

Um, first of all, they wouldn't come on the show.

Um, I've asked many of them on the show at times to talk about it, uh, and they won't because they know they will lose.

Um, but I also don't do it because it won't be honest, it will be about winning or losing.

And um,

you know, Martin Luther King was very clear: you don't solve anything if one side feels like they're a loser.

And too many people will not admit that it was a loss.

Their minds won't be changed.

They'll just walk away feeling like a loser.

You have to change people's minds and hearts.

When you're talking to somebody who has a great deal to lose, their credibility,

A, they're not going to sign up for it.

B,

they're not going to have an honest conversation.

So it just goes down the tubes.

And if you have a good conversation on the air and that side loses or this side loses, most likely what's going to happen is you're going to find something to bitch about and say, I actually won.

He's just a dirtbag.

And then it spirals out of control.

The only time I don't do this even in my own personal life, I meet somebody who is absolutely convinced that they're right.

right, and they're to the point to where you can't question it.

It's just, you're an idiot.

Are you one of those Trump people?

I just stop talking to them.

You need to talk to people who are still willing to change their mind if evidence is proven, and you should always be this, if evidence is shown to you that proves you're actually wrong.

Most people won't do that, and certainly the talking heads won't.

Michelle, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Hi, Glenn.

How are you this morning?

Very good.

I just wanted to take a moment to say, first of all, thank you for all your messages and inspiring us every day to do a little better.

And

I wanted to mention that I think we were, as you all, as you say, a little ahead of the game on your revival you did three years ago.

I think more of us are ready to accept God's calling today.

And I think you help us

identify that a little bit.

And I just wanted to say, please don't give up on us.

Keep going.

And maybe we can put together a revival with some of the young talent that hasn't accepted your call yet

or something like that.

But I just wanted to let you know you inspire us to do better.

And you motivate us.

And I'm one of those ones that's God's called to the line to say, get up and move, girl.

And you're part of that calling.

So I thank you, sir.

Michelle,

I'm so grateful that you would call in.

What is it that you are supposed to do?

I'm not sure yet.

I know that I've kicked a few unproductive habits out of the way.

I've started putting God's word in front of me,

asking him to use me.

I'm ready.

Not sure where the calling's taken me yet, but I'm definitely ready.

And I just don't want you to give up on us.

I think three years ago, maybe we weren't quite ready on the revival, but maybe we're getting there now.

Well, Michelle,

I sure appreciate your phone call.

And there's not a chance I give up on you.

I feel the same way.

You know, Stu and I were talking last week, and I had a meeting before the show early this morning, around six, about,

you know, I don't know, you know, I needed to listen to you today because I didn't know if I had anything of real

import to

give to you.

And so it goes both ways.

We won't give up on each other.

There's too much to do.

I appreciate it.

The revival that we did three years ago, do you remember what that is still?

Because we did the American Revival, but that was like 12 years ago, wasn't it?

Where we went from city to city.

Certainly a lot of the restoring events, I think, had that sort of theme.

But I don't know if I'm not trying to think, I'm trying to think of which one she's speaking of specifically.

I mean, I think that's been a theme of the show for a long time.

Yeah.

And

that vibe at times has been, I think, out of step with how people have felt.

You knew that going in, though.

That was.

I remember you.

I think it was you.

Somebody asked me, what are we doing?

Glenn, the country is not.

And I'm like, I know, but someday they will be.

And hopefully they'll remember this.

We are going to.

We are going to do a covenant.

And

I keep going back and forth on when it should happen.

Right now, it is scheduled to happen the week before Thanksgiving.

But making a covenant is a serious, serious thing.

Abraham Lincoln made a covenant.

George Washington made a covenant.

The pilgrims made a covenant.

And it's serious.

It's better for you not to be born than to take a covenant and then not do it.

And

there's a lot to making a covenant.

And I just want to make sure that this audience knows what a covenant is and

how important it is.

That we will promise to be his people and he will be our God and turn to him and say, we're going to give up these...

these things that we're doing, whatever it is we're doing in our own life.

And we need your help to heal our land.

And that will work if we do it.

We'll talk more about it coming up.

The Glenn Bach program.

Thomas wrote in about his dog's experience with Rough Greens.

He says, I have two huskies.

And I have to admit, I didn't expect much.

You know, I have something up in

my studio that my daughter gave me.

And it is a quote from one of my favorite people.

And it says this:

You are good,

but it's not enough just to be good.

You must be good for something.

You must contribute good to the world.

The world must be a better place for your presence.

And the good that is in you must spread to others.

In this world filled with so many problems, so constantly threatened by dark and evil challenges, you can and must

rise above mediocrity, above indifference.

You can become involved and speak with a strong voice for that which is right.

Gordon B.

Hinckley said that.

I like the ending of that.

You can and you must

speak with a strong voice

while still being good.

Let me go to Sean in Virginia.

Hello, Sean.

Hey, Glenn.

Thanks for taking my call.

You bet.

I got a story for you of thank you to you and then also an answer to a question.

A few weeks ago you asked if we should stay and fight in our local area or if we should move.

So we were in Colorado just north of Denver and I saw kind of the writing on the wall what was happening during COVID.

There was a lot of changes we didn't agree with.

So I was listening to you.

My father had introduced me to you.

And I was listening to you and kind of paying attention to what you were saying.

And it led us, my wife and I, to prayer.

prayer, and we prayed really hard about it.

We decided we were going to move.

I'm from Pennsylvania originally,

and we were going to move back to the East Coast.

So we were looking at Tennessee.

God kept shutting doors in Tennessee, and we ended up, this was after the election of Winsom Sears and Governor Yunkin.

We ended up in Virginia, in central Virginia, in the middle of the country, the Blue Ridge Mountains.

We were able to buy 20 acres here.

So that is one thing that we felt like if we're going to move, we're going to stay and fight where we move to, but we're going to be in a place where we feel comfortable that we can stay and fight.

So we moved from a tenth of an acre to 20 acres.

Wow.

The story of thanks happens with because of you leading us to prayer to be able to let us move, my father actually passed away four months after we moved.

And because we moved, we were only

three hours away from the hospital that we were able to go visit him.

Wow.

So

Because of the way that you spoke into what you were speaking, led us to go to a different area, fight where we are standing now, and we were also able to be with my father as he passed away, which is totally unexpected.

So thank you.

And it's my opinion, as far as the question goes, that if you're not in an area you want to be, then move to an area and stick it out and fight it there.

Because like I said, a tenth of an acre we didn't feel comfortable on, but 20 acres we feel very comfortable in staying where we are to be able to provide for ourselves and also fight.

Sean, thank you very much.

I appreciate it.

I'm uncomfortable.

I mean, I'm not, because I think I know what you mean.

But I'm uncomfortable having it on the air, you know, stand and fight.

We are,

we don't need more fighters.

We need more protectors.

You know, somebody comes across your property and

tries to take things or whatever, you have a right to stand your ground.

So you might want to consider, because of the world the way it is today, I feel comfortable on my 20 acres to stand my ground.

By the way,

do you know the number one state people are moving from?

You'd think California, right?

That would have been my pick, yes.

Yeah, it's not.

New York?

Nope.

Illinois.

Yes.

Illinois.

Bad.

Illinois, California, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania.

Those are the top states, not even New York, top states

for outbound in 2022.

Como killed killed most of the New York residents, so they can't move anywhere.

Yeah, I mean, that was, you know,

anyway, all five have a Democratic governor.

Now, the inbound states, top five, Arizona, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas.

Huh.

It's weird.

What story could be told from that information?

I don't, I don't know.

I don't know.

You could say, well, maybe people like warmer weather.

Yeah, California is known for its crappy weather.

That doesn't fit.

What's your other piece of analysis to that?

Because it's interesting how this keeps happening over and over and over again.

And a lot of it has to do with the policies.

So here, well, here's what I was going to say.

What they have in common, those are all great states

that people will move to with their crappy voting.

And they'll say, I want to get away from Illinois.

And they'll come there.

And then they'll start voting for the same people that wrecked their state.

And so these would be the, is that what they they have in common?

All states to be wrecked by people?

Yes.

Coming soon.

It is fascinating, though.

That's because I think what happens is people, no one wants to blame themselves, right?

No one wants to blame themselves for problems that happen around them.

You want to blame somebody else.

That's natural.

So I think with a lot of people is they vote a certain way.

They get these policies.

It ruins their communities.

They hate their communities.

They decide to move to a better place, but they don't blame their votes for those problems.

Nope.

They instead say, well,

it's the economy.

Oh, well, it's the, well,

you know, the industries that built this economy are no longer the industries that are successful.

We need to go someplace else.

There's a hundred different excuses you can come up with, but the one you're skipping is the most important one.

You know, a lot of the reason why people move, why Tennessee, of all the states in that region, there's other states in that region you could pick that have similar weather and similar, well, they don't have an state income tax.

It's a big part of the reason why you'd want to go there, right?

There's a lot to love about Tennessee, but that's one thing you'd really like.

Florida, same thing.

Texas, same thing, right?

I wonder why people go to these places.

So you saying that Illinois with 12.9

in tax.

Suboptimal, though.

Suboptimal.

Yes, 12.9, suboptimal.

Now, New York City is the top of the list of cities where they're...

Because that is about 12.5%

taxes.

That's weird.

Right.

And think of how this problem is growing right now for these states.

We've always talked about this, right, Glenn?

People will leave these blue states with high tax rates.

They'll go to red states with lower ones.

This has happened all across the world.

They've left France when they raise taxes like that.

But that was before

everybody was working at home.

No one goes to the office anymore.

Like there were reasons you had to stay in New York.

If you were in finance, you had to be there.

You don't have to be there anymore.

So in a poll of New Yorkers, not New York City, all across New York.

Okay.

Okay.

What percentage says they're planning to leave in the next five years?

Planning to leave.

Planning to leave.

I consider it, but planning to leave.

Planning to leave in the next five years out of the entire population of the whole state, not just New York City.

I mean, it's, I would normally guess very low, right?

I would think it was what, 10%?

5%?

Yeah, 5%.

That's, that's, that would be.

High for a state.

Yeah.

27%,

almost 30%

are saying they're ready to get out of there.

I got to tell you, it's one of the reasons why I am for like, you know, we should really kind of gather together because these people are going to come and wreck our states.

They're going to come and they're going to vote for all the same progressive things that they've always voted for that wreck their states.

Yeah,

people really need to be informed why these problems happen.

Not just that the problem exists, but why they happen.

Either that or we all move to California and then we vote in common sense policies.

If all of us moved to California, we'd have all the beachfront, all the forest, all the great vineyards and the

land for farms and everything.

And I don't think we'd have the homeless problem.

I just, I have a feeling we wouldn't have the homeless problem.

Anyway, let me go to Lynn in Florida.

Hello, Lynn.

Yes, hello.

I'm so grateful to have the chance to talk.

In the last hour, you said

that we tend to respond instead of making our own way.

Yes.

And I thought that was really profound, and that resonated with me because I am a conservative sustainability management college professor.

You're the one.

I'm the one.

You once said I must be schizophrenic.

Yes.

But I teach my students.

I teach my students practical sustainability.

Like what?

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

Well, that means not ESG.

That means

reducing resource use, saving money,

reducing waste,

finding the most innovative solutions that actually work.

So those are the kinds of things

that we do.

And my students in their capstones save, they do it, real-world capstones with

real businesses, and they save them thousands of dollars.

So

it is, it works.

So

I think we need to

make our own way instead of responding with the environment and with social justice.

I want us to stop responding and find good conservative solutions and common ground because we Americans are the best at innovation.

So what is the best way to get this message out?

Well, I have to tell you, I think it is so

common sense to the conservative that they don't really understand that that's not common sense to a lot of people.

You know, common sense implies that it's common.

And it's really not,

especially when it comes to

things like what you're talking about.

We are very good at innovation.

When our back is against the wall, we're usually at our best.

But

we have somehow or another perverted this.

And I think it's all due to politics.

We've perverted this and

we've decided to just all grab on to one solution because it's the state solution and science says.

when I think the average person is totally cool with, you know,

solar panels, wind power, everything else, if it worked.

But it doesn't work yet.

It might in the future, but it doesn't work yet.

And

I think because of the politics involved with it, you have global warming.

This is why they're screaming that we have 10 years to live.

Because they've got to get people just to be so afraid that they don't think.

Because if it's a 100-year problem, which it is, is just quantum computing will solve many of these problems and that's right that's here now

that's here now

true uh nuclear fusion is right on the cusp

nuclear power is the cleanest that we have and if you really cared you would be going for nuclear power and you'd be making hydrogen at night when the power load is down.

I mean, the answers are simple, which leads you to believe that no one's really looking for answers.

And so I think that

trying to

get people to stop living in fear

and start looking at

truth.

I mean, I think that's the only way we make a difference.

I agree too.

And I think

there is something to be said about constantly being on defense on so many issues.

I think the environment is one of them, where a lot of times conservatives are just like, well, we don't think fossil fuels are that bad of a problem.

And that doesn't advance anything.

I think one of the candidate who I think is speaking most clearly and effectively on this right now is Vivek Ramaswamy,

who addresses this really well.

And it's important to understand that if we can kind of change the framing of this, constantly the the environmental debate is about human impact.

What is the human impact of our policies, where the debate should be about human flourishing?

How do we make

the lives of human beings

more

extended

and happy and bountiful?

And how do we make this whole situation better for people?

Not how do we make it less bad for the earth, which is like, you know,

it's a rock floating through space here.

It's not a person.

they try to make it into this mother earth.

It's not actually a mother, right?

Like, yes, it's important that we sustain the, you know, the environment and we, we do all these things.

We want clean air.

We want clean water.

Why do we want those things?

Because we want our children to be able to breathe and drink clean things.

And

I think that's clear when you look at conservative, for instance, hunters.

They are the best.

at wildlife preservation and everything else.

They care about the balance.

We should stop demonizing each other.

The Glenn Beck program.

Charlie Sheet is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse, and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest-paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was queer.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's going to tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

So what was the reason you did the show like this today?

Just taking calls.

A, I learned in 2015, 2016, listen to the audience.

Second,

it's weird.

So much is going on, but

I didn't know that I had anything to add that was of real value today.

I looked at all these things.

I could have done three shows on the things that I had prepped, but it just didn't feel right.

And I want to listen to the audience.

Is that something you think is important going forward?

Should we do this more often?

Yeah, well, we've done this.

Yeah.

Have you been around?

Have you been listening?

Yeah, on and off.

We should do it once a week.

I think we should.

Maybe once every two weeks, but every

especially as things start to get a little crazy in the primary, because we always go crazy in primaries.

Everybody starts to turn against each other.

And that's...

Yeah.

You know, I think

some caller said this early on.

You know, we can't have these guys beating each other up.

And I think that's true.

I don't know what benefit it does for us.

I know what it does for them.

I know what it does for politicians and donations and all that crap.

I don't know what it does for the country.

No, there's enough to

stand against.

We should unite as much as we possibly can at this point.

See the differences, but know that we're all in this together as one.
