RANKED: Which Candidates FAILED or SURVIVED the Blaze Media Summit? | 7/17/23

Speaker 1 Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

Speaker 2 I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

Speaker 3 He's going the distance.

Speaker 4 He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

Speaker 5 When it started to change, it was quick. He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Speaker 7 Now, Charlie's sober.

Speaker 8 He's gonna tell you the truth.

Speaker 2 How do I present this with any class?

Speaker 1 I think we're past that, Charlie.

Speaker 2 We're past that, yeah.

Speaker 9 Somebody call action.

Speaker 10 Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

Speaker 11 What a weekend it has been.

Speaker 13 We got a lot to talk to you about.

Speaker 14 Let me tell you about first Rough Greens.

Speaker 19 Rough Greens, as a dog owner, I am watching Uno

Speaker 20 get older and older and more and more in pain.

Speaker 17 He is really starting to walk with a limp now.

Speaker 25 It's just happened over the last few weeks, and it's just sad to see him slow down.

Speaker 28 But the slowdown on him has been rapid.

Speaker 8 It is a lot later than

Speaker 31 all the other German Shepherds that we have had, a lot later.

Speaker 6 And it's just coming on fast.

Speaker 24 And I think, honestly, that's because Rough Greens has played a role in keeping him healthy and happy for so long.

Speaker 35 I can't thank them enough.

Speaker 39 Rough Greens, if you love your dog and you want your dog to have the healthiest and happiest and longest of lives, please just try Rough Greens, will you?

Speaker 44 I gave it to Uno just because I needed him to eat and he wasn't in love with eating at the time.

Speaker 39 Vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, you name it. If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in Rough Greens.

Speaker 51 survivor.

Speaker 51 Stand up side and hold the light.

Speaker 51 It's a new day, our time to rise.

Speaker 54 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 2 This is

Speaker 55 the Glen Beck Program.

Speaker 42 Hello, America.

Speaker 56 Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Speaker 59 Well, we had the candidates summit last Friday, and all of the candidates were there, except for Donald Trump.

Speaker 12 I think we narrowed things down quite a bit.

Speaker 61 I heard from a ton of people that this was the best

Speaker 58 look at the candidates they had ever seen.

Speaker 17 I think this is the new way.

Speaker 49 to vet your candidates.

Speaker 37 It was really, really good.

Speaker 65 And you had one day just listening to these guys, and they all revealed themselves one way or another, either, you know, for good or for ill.

Speaker 60 But it was fascinating to watch.

Speaker 37 You would still watch the replay on Blaze TV and my one-on-one interview with Tucker Carlson.

Speaker 36 If you missed that, we'll give it to you.

Speaker 37 It's available now at Blaze TV.

Speaker 39 Use the promo code, will not be censored for $30 off.

Speaker 73 But I want to go through some of that, and

Speaker 74 my heart is

Speaker 12 happy and heavy at the same time.

Speaker 14 A personal note

Speaker 63 coming up.

Speaker 12 Give me 60 seconds and we begin.

Speaker 72 So our sponsor this half hour is Relief Factor.

Speaker 77 Gary is 71.

Speaker 19 He's a grandfather.

Speaker 13 Not only that, he actually

Speaker 24 just recently adopted his granddaughter and takes care of her full-time.

Speaker 30 I can think of a president who might do that as well, maybe learn from Gary's example, but maybe that's just me.

Speaker 39 Of course, I don't know if I want Joe Biden adopting a seven-year-old girl.

Speaker 66 That might never forget this.

Speaker 17 Anyway, Gary was having a hard time keeping up with her for quite a while because he was in severe pain with his joints.

Speaker 85 Then he heard me talk about Relief Factor, and it worked for him.

Speaker 66 These days, I'm happy to report, Gary not only keeps up with his seven-year-old granddaughter, but he is actually able to take care of her full-time better than ever.

Speaker 19 Gary and his granddaughter, they got their lives back.

Speaker 49 Three-week quick start now, only $19.95.

Speaker 84 It's a trial pack, not a drug,

Speaker 36 but developed by doctors to keep you out of pain and for you to be able to keep your junk together, you know?

Speaker 41 So, Stu, I have to start with this because this is

Speaker 30 something that is really heavy on my heart

Speaker 44 and going to happen in the next hour.

Speaker 92 And

Speaker 12 it's going to affect everything I do today because I'm a little scatter-brained because of this. My mouth is dry because of this.

Speaker 12 Do you remember the day Stu do you remember the week of shows

Speaker 24 that happen in North North Richland Hills

Speaker 32 in Texas just outside of Dallas

Speaker 93 and

Speaker 30 they were my wife and I going down to

Speaker 24 this little town called North Richland Hills

Speaker 93 and

Speaker 36 this very, very brave young girl, I think she was 15,

Speaker 24 who had found herself pregnant and

Speaker 48 she wanted to have the baby, but

Speaker 21 she couldn't abort the baby and she didn't know how to give the child up.

Speaker 48 And that day, when her mother found out she was pregnant, she happened to be listening to this program.

Speaker 27 And Tanya and I had been looking to adopt a child.

Speaker 93 And

Speaker 103 what's amazing is

Speaker 24 Tanya came on that day and we were talking about some reality show where you could adopt a child.

Speaker 37 And I said, would you ever be on that show?

Speaker 64 She says, no, you don't adopt them through television game shows.

Speaker 18 And

Speaker 48 this woman who is in Texas, she just laughed and thought, I like that lady.

Speaker 108 And then her daughter called her and said, mom, I couldn't face you.

Speaker 80 I had to stop at a payphone and call you and tell you that I'm pregnant.

Speaker 109 She said, come home.

Speaker 20 Now, I had had a dream about a year before, maybe two years before, when Tanya and I were trying to get pregnant. And I never figured out how that worked.

Speaker 106 But anyway, I thought I knew, but she said, no, that's not the way we do it.

Speaker 111 Anyway,

Speaker 13 so

Speaker 32 about two years before, I said,

Speaker 106 I think we're supposed to adopt.

Speaker 90 Because in my prayer, I heard,

Speaker 112 adopt

Speaker 114 because we were both I said to her over and over again I can't wait to see your eyes in a child

Speaker 93 and

Speaker 99 in my prayers I I thought I heard something along the lines of you ego maniac it's not about you

Speaker 112 adopt

Speaker 102 and so when I told Tanya she said no

Speaker 117 I want to have a child.

Speaker 27 And

Speaker 6 so I went back to prayer and I said, okay, it's her, it's not me.

Speaker 119 I'm on your side, God.

Speaker 109 She's crazy.

Speaker 20 And I heard in my prayers,

Speaker 121 when you are ready, when she is ready, a baby boy will rush to you.

Speaker 107 The week we talked about it on the air

Speaker 109 is the week.

Speaker 80 that that baby boy rushed to us.

Speaker 102 And

Speaker 122 I have been convinced that he was going to be a leader of men.

Speaker 92 And he was

Speaker 112 always

Speaker 93 against that because he grew up in my family and he sees what happens to leaders in this country.

Speaker 112 And he sees how people treat

Speaker 99 leaders that they disagree with.

Speaker 93 And

Speaker 109 ever since he was a little boy, I stopped saying it to him because he would say, No, no, no, no, no, and he'd get very upset.

Speaker 117 I'm not going to be a leader.

Speaker 66 I'm not going to be a leader.

Speaker 20 No, I'm not a leader of men.

Speaker 115 I don't want that.

Speaker 48 He wanted to be Aaron,

Speaker 75 not Moses.

Speaker 93 And

Speaker 72 I said, Well, we'll just see what God has in store.

Speaker 124 Fast forward

Speaker 55 three years ago,

Speaker 47 my son is picked up by a friend of his in the summer.

Speaker 93 And

Speaker 113 when I say picked up, I mean literally picked up.

Speaker 95 His friend is a lineman and picked him up and said, I'm signing you up for football.

Speaker 6 And Rafe said,

Speaker 3 okay,

Speaker 125 now we have, you know me.

Speaker 126 I mean, yes, I'm Mr.

Speaker 66 Sportscaster, and it would be hard for you to believe that I don't know anything at all about any sport.

Speaker 12 I mean, you know, I know probably my dad played golf, so I know, you know, like if you get an eagle,

Speaker 122 that means an eagle picked up your ball on the fairway and dropped it into the little bucket thing there.

Speaker 113 You know, double eagle means it took two of them.

Speaker 39 Maybe they were tossing them back and forth with their claws.

Speaker 35 I don't know.

Speaker 88 But

Speaker 17 my son tried out in Texas for football.

Speaker 28 And

Speaker 15 the coach pulled him off the field at the tryouts and said,

Speaker 41 back,

Speaker 124 come in.

Speaker 38 And he looked at him seriously and he said,

Speaker 25 have you ever even watched this game before?

Speaker 32 And Rafe honestly said, no, sir, I really, no,

Speaker 112 I haven't.

Speaker 36 And he said, okay, and you want to play it?

Speaker 122 And he's like, well, yes, sir, sir, I'd like to try.

Speaker 6 So they kept him on the team, kind of like, I don't know, kind of the mascot for a while.

Speaker 51 But he worked and worked and worked and worked and worked.

Speaker 44 And he became the head of special teams.

Speaker 48 And when I say special teams, let's not question that too much, okay?

Speaker 70 But

Speaker 92 he was the head of special teams.

Speaker 47 And

Speaker 16 they...

Speaker 36 went all the way to the championship.

Speaker 100 They lost.

Speaker 48 And I told him before they played the game, son, if you do lose, please don't ever become Uncle Rico, where you're sitting in your van in a field and you say, you know, if they would have just given it to me, I could have thrown it over those mountains there.

Speaker 76 And he took the loss,

Speaker 102 and that was his senior year.

Speaker 129 And then he said to me, I want to go to college for football.

Speaker 102 And I said, oh,

Speaker 25 you know, maybe Texas AM.

Speaker 112 I'm like, oh, okay, okay, all right.

Speaker 36 And I want to play in the NFL.

Speaker 132 Okay, all right.

Speaker 17 Now, all I'm hearing in my head is my father, as I said to him, I want to be a big broadcaster someday.

Speaker 117 I'm 13 years old.

Speaker 92 And he's like, oh, okay, all right.

Speaker 55 And I want to be on the radio.

Speaker 52 I'm going to apply for a job to be on the radio.

Speaker 53 Oh, okay, all right.

Speaker 12 And what did my dad say?

Speaker 132 Well, do you need a ride?

Speaker 113 Yeah, dad, because I can't drive.

Speaker 133 And he drove me to the appointments and he took me.

Speaker 123 And I, looking back now, know he had to have thought, oh my gosh, what is this kid doing?

Speaker 26 This is not going to, this is going to leave a mark.

Speaker 117 This isn't going to work out.

Speaker 11 But he took me.

Speaker 43 And he would eventually, before I was 15, I lived about 90 miles north of Seattle.

Speaker 104 And I got a job at 15 years old

Speaker 12 in Seattle at KUBE, and it was the number one station in Seattle.

Speaker 11 And my dad would drive me

Speaker 72 every time, 90 minutes, wait for the broadcast to be over, and then drive me back.

Speaker 6 So, what am I going to say?

Speaker 135 You'll never make it, son.

Speaker 64 You'll never make it.

Speaker 6 So,

Speaker 47 let me just tell you, long story short, what's happening.

Speaker 136 After the

Speaker 66 really amazing summit that we had on Friday, which we're going to get into in here a second,

Speaker 66 I took my son to a university

Speaker 21 where he had been talking to a coach,

Speaker 34 friend of a friend of a friend,

Speaker 106 talking to this coach.

Speaker 136 And he'd been talking to him on the phone for like a couple couple of weeks, he and the other coaches.

Speaker 127 And he says, Dad, they want to meet me. And they're thinking about making me

Speaker 119 a coach for

Speaker 57 as the offensive coordinator.

Speaker 51 I'd be his, you know, number two guy.

Speaker 137 And I, and I said, oh,

Speaker 118 huh, that's,

Speaker 138 did you tell them that you hadn't really known anything about football two years ago?

Speaker 117 And he said, are you kidding me?

Speaker 139 You think I'm stupid?

Speaker 80 Of course I did.

Speaker 140 And I said, Like, really told them that when you did watch the Super Bowl, we were really watching it for the commercials.

Speaker 86 And he laughed and he said, That's exactly what I told them, Dad.

Speaker 26 And I said, Okay.

Speaker 12 So I took my son to the summit, and then we flew to this university on Saturday.

Speaker 47 And I watched my son

Speaker 127 become a man.

Speaker 102 And I watched him in the film room as they were putting X and O's and drawing.

Speaker 6 I'm thinking, you guys really need an art school here because those X's and O's, they could be, you could really draw the players so much better than that.

Speaker 115 But

Speaker 102 he's drawing the X, they're drawing the X's and O's, and my son is like, ooh, that's sneaky.

Speaker 25 Because you want what you're trying to get defense to think is this, this, and this.

Speaker 48 And he's talking about and keeping up with him, and I just couldn't believe him.

Speaker 38 I couldn't, just couldn't believe it.

Speaker 48 And

Speaker 36 thought of my dad,

Speaker 37 how great it is to have been raised

Speaker 141 by a man

Speaker 16 who said you can do whatever you set your mind to.

Speaker 106 Of course, those are in the days before Simon Cowell, but

Speaker 37 you can do whatever you set your mind to.

Speaker 142 So, my son

Speaker 103 is

Speaker 142 leaving the ranch and flying back home today and packing his stuff up

Speaker 18 and will be hitting the road

Speaker 64 to be coach back

Speaker 142 you have been there

Speaker 45 many have been here

Speaker 142 when you heard that Tanya and I were

Speaker 109 trying to have a baby, and I probably shared too much about how that can just become icky after a while.

Speaker 33 How we prayed and prayed and prayed, and then how Rafe came to us.

Speaker 14 You've heard

Speaker 112 probably more of the struggles than the

Speaker 109 good things, especially in the last couple of years.

Speaker 44 I thought it was only right

Speaker 64 today

Speaker 142 to tell you if you're still in those struggle parts

Speaker 33 or if you're still struggling to have a baby

Speaker 142 There is nothing you will do in your life

Speaker 142 that is worth more than raising a child.

Speaker 142 There is nothing harder, there is nothing more heartbreaking,

Speaker 46 and there is nothing more glorious.

Speaker 43 I thought you should know

Speaker 30 that that little baby we adopted

Speaker 142 today has become a man.

Speaker 132 Back in a minute.

Speaker 112 All right.

Speaker 143 Let me tell you about rough greens.

Speaker 99 Geez, now I got to talk to you about my dog who just started to limp a lot.

Speaker 62 And I'm like, oh no, we're not.

Speaker 55 No, you are not going to get old and die.

Speaker 98 We're feeding Uno rough greens.

Speaker 107 It's a supplement.

Speaker 142 It's not a dog food.

Speaker 72 It was developed by

Speaker 132 naturopathic Dr.

Speaker 86 Dennis Black.

Speaker 80 And you sprinkle it on your dog's food.

Speaker 141 And

Speaker 55 Uno,

Speaker 132 the thing I liked at first was he would just eat.

Speaker 36 Uno would never eat before, just never did it.

Speaker 33 We'd go to the doctor and they'd say, You gotta feed him.

Speaker 89 We're like, We are feeding him, he won't eat it.

Speaker 122 So we started putting rough greens on top, and he started eating it.

Speaker 22 He loves it, he won't eat his food now without it.

Speaker 44 And I think it's given him a much longer and healthier life.

Speaker 114 Alrighty. Hello, Stu.

Speaker 56 Welcome to the program.

Speaker 5 How are you, man?

Speaker 135 Good.

Speaker 146 I've done this now three times, sending a kid off into the world.

Speaker 126 It doesn't get easier.

Speaker 10 I can't imagine it.

Speaker 52 I'm never years away, and I do not want to think about it.

Speaker 25 Yeah, it never stops being great.

Speaker 112 Never stops being great.

Speaker 25 No, seriously, it doesn't.

Speaker 66 You know what it's, you know, what our life has been like for the last year with our kids all of the

Speaker 147 It's worth every second worth every second.

Speaker 18 And you know, when

Speaker 48 somebody will look at you, just kind of give you the side eye, but a good side eye, not like the Glenn Becks in New York side eye.

Speaker 116 When they give you the side eye, like this kid is good.

Speaker 106 It's just so there's just nothing makes you feel better.

Speaker 48 Just nothing that makes you feel better.

Speaker 5 Yeah, and the story to watch him grow up the story arc of his interest in football to to getting some role of coaching is

Speaker 5 really a meteoric rise

Speaker 5 knowing you so he said we went I remember going when he was young over to your house for like a Super Bowl party back in the day and like it was like

Speaker 5 I think it was gosh I don't remember what year it was, but I remember watching it over your place and and it was like you didn't really come in the room during the game. Like you were out.

Speaker 118 Wow.

Speaker 5 There's snacks. You were around that area of the house.
Yeah, snacks. You gave him no guidance in this field whatsoever.

Speaker 9 None.

Speaker 87 None. Still don't.

Speaker 37 Still don't.

Speaker 61 You know, he's really mad at me because I worked with

Speaker 43 what's his name in Washington, Stu.

Speaker 5 I believe Joe Theisman is who you're thinking of.

Speaker 39 Joe Theisman.

Speaker 20 I worked with Warren Moon

Speaker 36 and

Speaker 30 Andy Reed

Speaker 47 and

Speaker 137 somebody else.

Speaker 139 And I have all these footballs someplace.

Speaker 43 And he's like,

Speaker 120 what? You work? What did you, wait, what?

Speaker 145 And I'm like, yeah, it wasn't a big deal.

Speaker 30 I don't know anything really about them.

Speaker 112 I mean, I know them, but

Speaker 127 I knew nothing about football.

Speaker 33 And he's like, oh, my gosh.

Speaker 29 And remember, we went to Super Bowl, was it 30?

Speaker 106 What was the one in San Francisco?

Speaker 115 And last time I was in San Francisco, thank God.

Speaker 103 And we didn't even stay.

Speaker 126 We didn't even stay. And

Speaker 22 he met Al, not Al Michaels.

Speaker 112 Was it Al Michaels?

Speaker 107 He met

Speaker 67 Dungy.

Speaker 66 Gosh, I don't even know.

Speaker 37 A couple of the other big, big, you know, Hall of Fame.

Speaker 149 And he was like, he has pictures.

Speaker 71 And he's like, look at me.

Speaker 17 I'm looking away. I'm not even, I don't, what was wrong with me?

Speaker 71 And then Saturday he said, hey, could I possibly be a big coach in 15 years if I work really hard?

Speaker 144 The coach said, yeah, why?

Speaker 37 He said, look at my dad.

Speaker 71 He's probably got 15 more years in him.

Speaker 14 I want to make it before he's moving off to the, as he says, maternity ward.

Speaker 108 Alrighty.

Speaker 112 Let's see.

Speaker 116 I want to talk to you about

Speaker 116 Mantis X. Mantis X

Speaker 12 has kept me

Speaker 152 being a pretty good shot. I mean, I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 30 I was shooting last week here at the ranch, and I haven't actually, I've been doing dry fire and using Mantis X.

Speaker 80 And I got up, loaded my gun, and out of, I think, 18 rounds, I missed two.

Speaker 99 That was

Speaker 129 remarkable for me,

Speaker 104 especially since I haven't actually fired a gun in two years.

Speaker 32 That is something it perishes.

Speaker 40 It's perishable.

Speaker 12 It just goes away.

Speaker 91 Mantis X is an easy-to-use system.

Speaker 48 It's widely used by the military now.

Speaker 72 It started out, I think, with the Marines.

Speaker 37 And you connect the app to your smartphone or your tablet via Bluetooth, and it shows you, it tracks the gun.

Speaker 39 So it shows you when you are aiming, what's happening, how's your hand shaking, are you drifting here and there?

Speaker 37 When you pull, are you drifting?

Speaker 57 And it corrects it after every shot.

Speaker 12 It's amazing.

Speaker 37 You'll get really good.

Speaker 11 Welcome to the Glenn Back program.

Speaker 143 We're super glad you're here.

Speaker 147 Thank you so much.

Speaker 17 Thank you for being a Blaze TV subscriber.

Speaker 73 If you are, I don't know if you saw the summit.

Speaker 139 10 million people watched the summit.

Speaker 37 And I really think that we are,

Speaker 3 I think

Speaker 46 mainstream media should be a little concerned.

Speaker 103 And it was all thanks to you.

Speaker 107 Thank you so much.

Speaker 155 This is why I started the Blaze to have a place where people could go and it would be an alternative to the mainstream media.

Speaker 135 As I told Tucker, he's like, yeah, you were the first to do this, weren't you?

Speaker 51 And I said, dude, we were, I had to tell the listeners, okay, there's a lot of buffering going on and he said buffering i don't what's buffering and i said yeah that's how long ago it was

Speaker 42 um but uh now i mean it was it it was a game changer did you watch it at all pat i know you were on the air and yeah saw some of it holy cow yeah really that was

Speaker 17 Have you ever seen, did you see the Asa Hutchinson?

Speaker 157 Oh my gosh. We played some of that this morning.

Speaker 3 Ooh.

Speaker 131 Did he go up in flames or what?

Speaker 157 I think the Hindenburg was a really, really good analogy for that.

Speaker 3 That's what it was like.

Speaker 159 I was watching it and I thought, this is the Hindenburg.

Speaker 6 Yeah, it's good.

Speaker 153 Here it is, cut one.

Speaker 52 I mean, this is a permanent change we are making to a child. Why would we allow that if we don't allow surgery?

Speaker 1 Well, permanent change is one issue, but also hormonal treatment is a different issue and can be a different issue.

Speaker 1 And whenever you look at the bill that I vetoed, there was not any grandfather clause in there.

Speaker 1 Again, I respect legislators that have a different view, but I think independently, I think of the parents, I think of the Constitution, and actually the court, if you read the decision of the federal judge that struck it down as unconstitutional, really sided with parents as well.

Speaker 52 But how is it treatment? I guess that's my question. If you have a child who says, he was born a boy, I want to become a girl.
He hasn't gone through puberty yet. He'd say 10.

Speaker 52 Is it treatment to prevent him from going through the natural process of adolescence? How is that treatment? It seems not like treatment. It seems like something else.

Speaker 112 Well, you have

Speaker 160 to.

Speaker 1 Tucker, I hope that we'll be able to talk about some issues. I know that.

Speaker 52 Well, this is one of the biggest issues in the country, and I think every person in this room would agree that

Speaker 52 it is a central issue because these are children who are being altered permanently.

Speaker 52 And you can defend that alteration, that change, if you like, but there's really no debate about whether or not it's permanent.

Speaker 97 Let's go to Pat's thoughts, cut to

Speaker 136 protecting the border.

Speaker 112 Listen to this.

Speaker 52 But why wouldn't you just create a human wall of American military personnel and just kind of fix the problem immediately? We could afford to do that. We don't want to do that for some reason.

Speaker 52 What am I missing?

Speaker 1 Well, a couple points there. First of all, the military is always an option that might be needed at some point.
But I want to be able to fix it without having to.

Speaker 52 How about when 7 million people come in? Is that the point?

Speaker 1 I would like to be able to do it without using the military for a couple of reasons. First of all, we want to show strength with China and making sure we have a military presence in the Philippines.

Speaker 1 We want to make sure that we show strength in Europe and that we're able to maintain a military that has a global presence. And so the military has a lot of responsibilities.
Secondly, the military...

Speaker 52 May I ask you a positive? Are those responsibilities more important than protecting our own borders?

Speaker 1 I'm going to finish my answer first.

Speaker 1 The second reason is the military is trained to kill people.

Speaker 1 And they're not trained in traditional law enforcement responsibilities, so it's a different mission. We utilize the National Guard, but our

Speaker 1 regular military, I hope we don't have to use in the border, that we can solve the problem without that.

Speaker 52 Now go ahead.

Speaker 52 Okay, but if you have, if I describe to you a nation in which 7 million people had moved without permission, most of them military-age males, and bringing with them, they brought poison that killed over 100,000 citizens of the country into which they were moving every single year, you would say this is an invasion.

Speaker 52 This is not only a challenge to a sovereignty, this is proof that sovereignty doesn't exist. You don't control your country, it's not really your country, and you would say that's an emergency.

Speaker 52 In fact, you might even say that's worse than what's happening in Ukraine right now, from an American perspective.

Speaker 52 And so if that doesn't meet the definition of an emergency with which you'd use the U.S. military to respond, then what does? What's happening in the Philippines?

Speaker 52 I mean, I'm not mocking you, but what is happening in the Philippines is more important than that.

Speaker 1 Well, the Philippines is close to Taiwan, and so that sends a signal, of course, that fact that we have our bases there, that if we have the right personnel, the right equipment there, then we send a signal to China, don't touch the freedom of Taiwan.

Speaker 1 And I think that's important.

Speaker 55 Well,

Speaker 76 let me

Speaker 16 feel

Speaker 157 close to Taiwan, but the Mexican border is not close to Texas, I guess, huh?

Speaker 3 Jeez.

Speaker 42 Please don't, man.

Speaker 127 Please play

Speaker 70 the cut where I describe it as the Hindenburg.

Speaker 33 Right out of this, i said this

Speaker 160 it burst into flames get it started get this charted it's fighting and it's crashing it's rising terrible oh my get out of the way please it's burning bursting into flames and and it's falling on the morning fast and all the folks between that this is terrible this is one of the worst catastrophes in the world oh it seems

Speaker 160 like 20 oh four or five hundred feet into the sky and it it's a terrific dice ladies and gentlemen the smoke and the flames now and the frame is rising to the ground. Not quite to the morning master.

Speaker 161 Oh, the humanity.

Speaker 3 Is it too soon?

Speaker 53 It's too soon.

Speaker 3 That is too soon. No, it's not.

Speaker 73 That's exactly what I said after he made that statement.

Speaker 58 Oh, the humanity.

Speaker 162 That happened with Mike Pence as well. Yeah.

Speaker 112 Yeah, Pence.

Speaker 41 Which cut do you have, Stu, or Pat, for the Mike Pence?

Speaker 5 I don't have my sheet in front of me, but...

Speaker 5 Okay, do you have it? Do you have it, Stu? I think I'm going to do it.

Speaker 52 I do.

Speaker 3 Hang on, Marilyn. Stuff.

Speaker 52 The economy has degraded. Here it is.
The suicide rate has jumped. Public filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased.

Speaker 52 And yet, your concern is that the Ukrainians, a country most people can't find on a map, who've received tens of billions of U.S. tax dollars, don't have enough tanks.

Speaker 52 I think it's a fair question to ask. Like, where's the concern for the United States in that?

Speaker 163 Well, it's not my concern.

Speaker 163 What?

Speaker 163 Talking about that routine from you before, but that's not my concern. Wow.
I'm running for President of the United States because I think this country's in a lot of trouble.

Speaker 163 I think Joe Biden has weakened America at home and abroad.

Speaker 163 And as President of the United States, we're going to restore law and order in our cities. We're going to secure our border.
We're going to get this economy moving again.

Speaker 163 And we're going to make sure that we have men and women on our courts at every level that will stand for the right to life and defend all the God-given liberties enshrined in our Constitution.

Speaker 163 Anybody that says that we can't be the leader of the free world and solve our problems at home has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on earth. We can do both.

Speaker 163 And as President of the United States, we will secure our border.

Speaker 52 We will support our military.

Speaker 55 We will revive our economy and stand by our values.

Speaker 131 And we will also lead the world for freedom.

Speaker 5 Sorry to try to, that was an interesting moment because that was kind of the most viral moment maybe of the entire. weekend.

Speaker 5 And I don't, it's hard to tell what he was going for there when he said it was not my concern. He's concerned.
because he kind of says right after that that he is going on.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I am going to work on the border. I am going to work on cities.
I don't know what he was saying.

Speaker 5 Maybe it was like, I'm not concerned with what you're saying, or I'm not concerned that we can't do both at the same time. All I know is it was a really bad

Speaker 130 sound.

Speaker 161 He also was booed.

Speaker 164 Yeah.

Speaker 95 He was booed on stage.

Speaker 74 That is something I have not heard, especially in Iowa.

Speaker 49 The Iowa people are, I mean, it's like you take, if if you take the people from Salt Lake City in Iowa and they have children, you get someone more polite than Jesus.

Speaker 5 Yeah, they were, I was really impressed with the crowd, actually, like, because I don't know, my impression of these political moments recently has been a lot of booing and jeering and cheering.

Speaker 5 And like,

Speaker 5 they weren't like that at all. Which is great.
And even the moment you're talking about was

Speaker 5 a groan, you know, maybe. It certainly wasn't the booze that we've seen at other political events.

Speaker 5 They were there to actually listen to these candidates and hear what they had to say. And that's why that's why the Hindenburg happened, because they were actually listening to what was said.

Speaker 5 It wasn't a political celebration. It was like a real event where they were like trying to understand the differences.

Speaker 5 And it's why you need these things moderated by people that aren't mainstream media candidates or personalities.

Speaker 5 They don't ask questions that any of us care about.

Speaker 5 They don't delve into issues that any people who are actually considering voting for a Republican care about. And that was the difference between this event and so many others.

Speaker 157 And Pence talked about the Abrams tanks, and so did Tucker talk about the tanks that we've already sent over there.

Speaker 157 We're now ⁇ it's being reported, we've already sent them F-16s that they're being trained on and that

Speaker 157 they're just getting to the point now where they can start to use them. And apparently in August or September, they start to roll out the F-16s that we've sent them.

Speaker 55 Ah, that's unbelievable.

Speaker 119 If that's the first time I've seen that.

Speaker 43 Mike Lee, I'm trying to get him on today.

Speaker 90 I checked my email this morning and he had emailed me several times, like, ah, we got to

Speaker 88 talk about the war thing.

Speaker 140 I think maybe we need to invoke the War Powers Act.

Speaker 86 He is very concerned that we are just checking the boxes on our way to Third World War.

Speaker 89 And I think he's right.

Speaker 126 I think he's right.

Speaker 165 It was shocking shocking to me

Speaker 89 how this group of what you would say are traditional Republicans

Speaker 143 viewed the war in Ukraine.

Speaker 12 They were not happy about it, didn't want anything to go on.

Speaker 57 And how they looked at, like, for instance, Nikki Haley.

Speaker 120 I don't think she did well.

Speaker 11 Mike Pence didn't do well.

Speaker 32 Asa did as well as, you know, at least I expected.

Speaker 12 The one that got a stand, I think there were two standing ovations,

Speaker 151 and they came at the end.

Speaker 95 One was Ron DeSantis, and the other one was Vivek Ramaswamy, who I think is surprising everyone who watches him.

Speaker 50 He was really good.

Speaker 55 I love him.

Speaker 157 I think he's, I haven't heard a single viewpoint of his that I disagree with yet.

Speaker 13 He's well-spoken.

Speaker 157 He's really smart. He's smooth as silk.
He's everything you wanted Ted Cruz to be in 2016, but wasn't.

Speaker 91 Yes.

Speaker 6 Yes.

Speaker 119 So.

Speaker 5 And do you hear that Trump apparently mentioned him as a potential VP candidate? This is after Glenn predicted on the air the other day that that's what was going to happen.

Speaker 5 And then Trump actually mentioned him as a candidate. He's performed really well.

Speaker 9 He has.

Speaker 5 Really well. Yeah.

Speaker 157 So, I mean, and Trump hates Ron DeSantis.

Speaker 5 So, you know, that's out.

Speaker 157 And the other ones are losers.

Speaker 49 So who would it be?

Speaker 157 It'd be Vivek.

Speaker 147 I think it could could be Rick Scott or Tim Scott.

Speaker 132 Tim Scott could mention Tim Scott as well.

Speaker 5 Yeah, maybe Scott Scott as well.

Speaker 117 Tim Scott, yeah.

Speaker 39 All right, more in a minute. Thank you, Pat.

Speaker 5 never.

Speaker 5 I don't think I ever have done it. Honestly, I'm never going to do it either, to be honest with you.
That's never going to be part of my life.

Speaker 5 This is why I have home title lock, because they do it for me. They're constantly checking my home's title to make sure that no one commits home title fraud against me.

Speaker 5 Now, home title fraud is one of the fastest growing crimes in America.

Speaker 5 You know, we have incidents where people everywhere from like really annoying paperwork and unwinding a very complicated legal issue all the way up to someone getting their home bulldozed because someone had committed home title fraud, sold the home.

Speaker 5 The new buyer wasn't part of the crime. They thought they were just buying the home legally.

Speaker 5 And they went through the whole process and started bulldozing the home because they wanted to build on the property. Well, the old homeowner was just out.
These things are terrible, and

Speaker 5 you're never going to want to have to go through something like this. Home title lock helps you protect it yourself, so you don't have to go through these moments.

Speaker 56 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 61 We're just talking about

Speaker 38 the path to war here seems to be getting louder and louder and louder.

Speaker 12 And any of the Republicans that said, well, I think we need to strengthen Ukraine at the summit last weekend, and please watch it at Blaze TV,

Speaker 112 anybody who said that they were for more war

Speaker 30 didn't do well, didn't do well.

Speaker 36 And then Donald Trump comes out today and says, I'm going to give them more arms than anybody else if Putin doesn't come to the table.

Speaker 35 Now, some people would say, correct me if I'm wrong, Stu, play devil's advocate here, that

Speaker 45 you're even more war.

Speaker 12 So

Speaker 12 why is he up 30 points?

Speaker 5 Yeah, I mean, he said he would give more than Ukraine has ever received. He said that he would give more arms to Ukraine than anyone has ever received.
And he called Zelensky very honorable.

Speaker 5 You know, this is the type of stuff that

Speaker 5 in that forum, you'd think would have been booed.

Speaker 5 But then Trump comes out and does it in a separate interview.

Speaker 114 Not with Trump, though. Right.

Speaker 3 So what's the difference?

Speaker 5 What magical power does he have?

Speaker 47 It is the difference between Mike Pence is weak. He's not seen as a wartime president.

Speaker 21 None of them are wartime candidates,

Speaker 119 I don't think.

Speaker 102 Trump is seen as a wartime president.

Speaker 12 Biden is definitely not.

Speaker 74 So when you have a wartime president that stands up and says, I'm going to give him more, you're going to come to the table or I'm going to give him more than you can possibly even imagine.

Speaker 46 I'm going to turn the war machine on

Speaker 36 and I don't have a problem.

Speaker 127 I don't have a problem using everything we have.

Speaker 40 That's the kind of talk you give to a dictator.

Speaker 34 and you better not be bluffing because you may have to do it.

Speaker 38 But that is the kind of talk of a dictator that gets a dictator usually back to the table if they believe you.

Speaker 148 And I think that the

Speaker 12 powers around the world, this is why they fought to get him out of there.

Speaker 90 The powers around the world believe he loves America, loves America first, and is going to defend her.

Speaker 11 And all this bullcrap that's happening at the Pentagon now is over day one.

Speaker 12 And so you would want to,

Speaker 50 it's Ronald Reagan talking really tough to the Ayatollah.

Speaker 11 You know, when I get in, we're going to end this.

Speaker 12 You're going to send those

Speaker 13 people back.

Speaker 36 All of that ended with Reagan coming in.

Speaker 32 So

Speaker 66 I think it's different in a way.

Speaker 122 for Donald Trump to say that than anybody else.

Speaker 37 I think it holds credibility of negotiation

Speaker 43 Where is anybody on the other side afraid of Joe Biden and his Pentagon?

Speaker 33 I wouldn't be.

Speaker 112 I'd be like, bring it on, man.

Speaker 68 You're killing yourself.

Speaker 82 I want to talk to you about something called COIN.

Speaker 113 Coin is a new credit card.

Speaker 96 Use your credit card over and over and over again, and every time you do, a percentage of that goes to La Raza, Planned Parenthood, Black Lives Matter, Acorn, Clinton Foundation.

Speaker 83 This was the deal they made with the Occupy Wall Street people.

Speaker 98 And you don't know it.

Speaker 32 So you're funding all of this stuff.

Speaker 140 Welcome to a parallel economy.

Speaker 149 The new coin card, spelled C-O-I-G-N, coin, as in sovereign,

Speaker 47 is America's only conservative credit card.

Speaker 129 It gives you the freedom to support the causes that match your values, and they offer unlimited cashback rewards, world-class theft and fraud protection, and the ability to align your dollars with your values because Coin donates to conservative causes.

Speaker 86 Rob Collins, Coin CEO, has been a guest on the program.

Speaker 37 I love what he is doing.

Speaker 12 It is absolutely essential. Bring back the America we want to see.

Speaker 30 We have to put our money where our mouths are.

Speaker 90 Our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

Speaker 52 What you're about to hear

Speaker 54 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 54 This is the Glen Back Program.

Speaker 42 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Speaker 77 So glad that you are here.

Speaker 58 I was out at the summit, the Blaze Summit in Iowa that was happening on Friday.

Speaker 12 Tucker Carlson was hosting this. It's an amazing thing.

Speaker 67 It's been going on for years, but I think this is the first time it's really, they got it right and it could be seen nationwide.

Speaker 84 No network would cover this, but we did.

Speaker 65 And 10 million viewers later,

Speaker 37 it is becoming known as the way to do debates or the way to see candidates and have them really present themselves to you.

Speaker 173 It was awesome and game-changing.

Speaker 82 Afterwards, I sat down with Tucker Carlson for a Blaze exclusive interview with Tucker.

Speaker 136 I want to tell you, something is happening with Tucker Carlson.

Speaker 68 And I don't think anybody else is going to talk about it, so I will.

Speaker 12 We do that in 60 seconds.

Speaker 57 So, you know who you are.

Speaker 71 The moment I start talking about severe and frequent pain, your ears perk up as they always do.

Speaker 48 You've been listening to me ramble on for years about Relief Factor and, you know, it sounds nice and everything, but it's not going to work for me.

Speaker 89 I know I was just like you.

Speaker 65 I was stubborn.

Speaker 90 Maybe you've tried a ton of different things to combat your pain and nothing has worked.

Speaker 61 Maybe you're scared that it won't work.

Speaker 14 Even more scared that it will.

Speaker 158 Today is the day.

Speaker 155 Give Relief Factor a try.

Speaker 61 I did this years ago ago and I haven't been the same since.

Speaker 47 I could not use my hands to draw or paint or anything.

Speaker 30 I'm at a, up at the ranch, I'm holding a big painting

Speaker 39 workshop with some of the best painters in America today.

Speaker 30 And one of the guys, well, I won't tell you who because I don't know if I have permission to tell you,

Speaker 104 but he is a great storyteller, and we're teaching people how to tell stories.

Speaker 59 Painters.

Speaker 127 So I'm having to do a bunch of sketches and things for some paintings that I

Speaker 85 would like help with.

Speaker 37 And I painted or I drew these yesterday.

Speaker 38 If you're watching the Blaze, you can see them.

Speaker 18 I drew these in my notebook.

Speaker 104 I would have never been able to do that two years ago.

Speaker 43 My hands would have cramped up.

Speaker 143 The hands would have just, they would have stopped working.

Speaker 98 And

Speaker 173 nothing changed it. Nothing changed it.

Speaker 171 Relief Factor has.

Speaker 143 Relief Factor.

Speaker 14 Go to relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief.

Speaker 14 ReliefFactor.com or call 800, the number 4 relief. 800, the number 4 relief.

Speaker 50 Relief Factor.

Speaker 41 Feel the difference.

Speaker 136 All right. So

Speaker 165 I got to tell you, the press is so

Speaker 35 out of.

Speaker 119 touch.

Speaker 129 This is from the New York Times.

Speaker 12 Tucker Carlson turns a Christian Presidential Forum into a Putin showcase.

Speaker 146 Jesus is out.

Speaker 126 Vladimir Putin is in.

Speaker 159 Did you hear that from any candidate or anything like that from anyone on stage

Speaker 6 at the summit Friday, Stu?

Speaker 22 Anyone?

Speaker 5 Of course not. No, I did not hear that.
Right.

Speaker 39 Right.

Speaker 32 In fact, everybody led with, who was anti-war, I don't like Putin.

Speaker 167 Putin's not a good guy, but I don't think, you know, the Ukrainian president is really a good guy either.

Speaker 133 And I went as far as saying, and I don't think at this time we're on the right side.

Speaker 86 We're the good guys.

Speaker 154 So I don't want to send my kids to a war where I can't identify the good guy.

Speaker 36 No.

Speaker 18 But they made it sound like it was nothing but a rah-rah.

Speaker 6 for President Putin, which it wasn't.

Speaker 114 I'm going to get into some of those things here in a second, but I really wanted to spend some time on Tucker Carlson because we spent a couple of days with Tucker Carlson, and there is something happening.

Speaker 41 And this should give you great, great, great hope.

Speaker 12 He said a few years ago, I'm sorry, a few months ago, he's Episcopalian, and he was so funny when he was telling me.

Speaker 32 He's like,

Speaker 16 you know, I didn't even know there was a Bible.

Speaker 26 I'm an Episcopalian.

Speaker 116 I mean,

Speaker 117 we don't use that.

Speaker 75 And he said, so I started reading it.

Speaker 70 He said,

Speaker 12 I just had the feeling a few months ago that I should start reading it. He said, so I finished the New Testament.

Speaker 87 And he said, that's amazing.

Speaker 156 The way he was telling it is so funny.

Speaker 165 When you, somebody who has actually, actually

Speaker 113 read it and is interested in reading it,

Speaker 38 all of the things that they find that they discover, he's like, this is the greatest.

Speaker 41 It's such a great story.

Speaker 5 Why are we hiding this?

Speaker 12 And then he started on the Old Testament and he is in Leviticus now, which is

Speaker 95 also fun, but he's actually enjoying it.

Speaker 166 In talking to him over a few days, I just want you to know

Speaker 165 God is using him.

Speaker 164 There is something

Speaker 166 different about Tucker Carlson.

Speaker 166 And it, you know, we were not the best of friends 10 years ago.

Speaker 138 We didn't really know each other.

Speaker 99 We respected each other for what we had done, but we disagreed on a lot of stuff and vehemently 10 years ago on a lot of stuff.

Speaker 46 That has changed.

Speaker 51 And I think it became because I started really watching him then in Fox News.

Speaker 95 He started really listening to me.

Speaker 30 And we heard

Speaker 158 the

Speaker 166 core principles.

Speaker 17 behind what we believe.

Speaker 28 And

Speaker 165 God is using him.

Speaker 164 He has moved on him greatly.

Speaker 106 Please add Tucker to your prayers.

Speaker 70 Something really good is going to come of

Speaker 31 what Tucker is doing, I think.

Speaker 147 He gets it unlike,

Speaker 75 let's say

Speaker 16 I met with four people

Speaker 95 in the last

Speaker 126 three weeks.

Speaker 86 And I've met probably 15,000 people.

Speaker 35 And I've met with four that I think absolutely 100%

Speaker 116 get it.

Speaker 11 They know it from all of its angles.

Speaker 31 Tucker is one of them.

Speaker 143 He was very, very clear on things when he was asking, I think it was Nikki Haley.

Speaker 66 He said, hey, did we blow up the Nord Stream?

Speaker 49 That's something that I would ask.

Speaker 85 But I wondered as he asked it, if I were Nikki Haley,

Speaker 12 if I would answer that as a presidential candidate, just because of the ramifications

Speaker 32 of that as a presidential candidate.

Speaker 107 So I asked Tucker on this.

Speaker 12 Here's what he said in our one-on-one interview, Cut One.

Speaker 52 You said something that I absolutely believe,

Speaker 164 and it is crazy to say it now.

Speaker 52 I think we absolutely blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. Of course we did.
Yeah. Absolutely did.
Well, yeah.

Speaker 52 And I think it's a big deal. I mean, on many levels, it was an environmental catastrophe.
I mean, like a profound environmental catastrophe. It was also an an act of vandalism, which I'm against.

Speaker 52 You should build things, not destroy them.

Speaker 52 It was also an attack on infrastructure. And more than anything, it was an attack on our closest NATO ally, Germany, which used that pipeline to fund its entire manufacturing center.

Speaker 52 We just attacked our ally. I know.
This is insane behavior. And I don't know why no one's been held accountable.
Yes, we did it, whether it was through Poland or Norway.

Speaker 52 A NATO nation did it with our assistance and approval. And like everyone knows it, and everyone's afraid to say so.
Why? I don't know why.

Speaker 52 Can you say that? I just did. Well, no, but I.
I mean, I'm unemployed. I can do whatever I want.

Speaker 52 I mean, as a,

Speaker 52 I mean, what are the ramifications of, and thank God

Speaker 52 that Russia has not retaliated. This is the biggest, this is the worst act of war I have ever seen us make, right?

Speaker 52 So, and it's crazy, it's the kind of like late-stage hubris on display with people. It's all of it.

Speaker 52 It really is. Like, I'm God.
I can do whatever I want. There are no consequences.
The rules don't apply to me.

Speaker 52 And when you adopt that attitude, when there's no humility at all or long-term thinking, this is, you know,

Speaker 52 people who don't have a stake in the future, like 80-year-old presidents,

Speaker 52 they just don't care. And when they start to behave like that, you can actually wreck the whole thing.
You can take a country down doing stuff like that, in my opinion.

Speaker 66 I talked to him about the media, you know,

Speaker 51 completely determined to suppress the truth.

Speaker 119 Listen.

Speaker 52 And I really thought, Tucker, and I don't know if you were, if there was a turning point with you, there was with me when I realized, oh my gosh, none of these people in the media actually care or are intellectually curious at all.

Speaker 52 They're just

Speaker 52 kyping away, doing their thing, reading a prompter. Nobody is actually,

Speaker 52 because I really thought if I could make the case, which you did every night, you were making a great solid case.

Speaker 52 And if you are intellectually curious and you disagree, you go, well, that can't be right. Let me look it up.
Let's do some investigative work on what he just said.

Speaker 19 They don't do that.

Speaker 52 And that shocked me. Shocked me.
But then you have to wonder why. So it's like

Speaker 52 no one in Washington or in the media is ever triggered, is ever outraged by a lie.

Speaker 52 So I can come out here and tell the most preposterous lies, say the most lunatic things, you know, climate, you're driving a suburban is causing more hurricanes in Florida.

Speaker 52 Well, they say that every

Speaker 52 fall. Right.
And it's like insane. There's like, there's no evidence that that's true.
There's a ton that's evidence that it's not true. Nobody cares.
But when you say something true

Speaker 52 that's actually true, completely true, people become hysterical and call for your murder and certainly call for your deplatforming. So then, well, what conclusion do you reach?

Speaker 52 The media are completely determined to suppress the truth.

Speaker 52 The true things that matter. That's kind of why they exist.
They are the gatekeepers that prevent people from saying out loud the truest things.

Speaker 95 Cut three, here's Tucker on what he saw at the summit and the candidates that I found surprising.

Speaker 52 When you got up this morning, did you imagine that you would see not one, but two presidential candidates light themselves on fire in front of you?

Speaker 52 When I get up this morning, as every morning when I wake up, I don't imagine anything.

Speaker 52 I haven't had a drink in 21 years, and every single morning I wake up hungover. I feel like I've had a quart of Stole and a six pack of some rotten beer.
I just feel horrible in the morning.

Speaker 52 Every morning. And so I put my pants on, I shuffled downstairs and got coffee.

Speaker 52 So I didn't think about it at all until I was seated across from Senator Scott, who was the first. And I really like, I mean, I like them all.
Like, politicians are super charming. Like,

Speaker 52 they're good with people. That's why they're in this business.
So I like all of them.

Speaker 52 But no,

Speaker 52 I do think that Republican voters or the system controlled by the Republican Party doesn't ask a lot of a lot of its candidates.

Speaker 52 It's like enough to say certain, to repeat certain bumper stickers from the 80s, peace through strength, lower taxes, whatever.

Speaker 52 I'm for all that, by the way. But they don't, like, no one ever gets pushed very hard.
Right. And so it doesn't take much.

Speaker 52 I was certainly not acting out of hostility, but if you're just like, well, what do you mean?

Speaker 52 And then people are like, oh, you're so mean, really? You're trying to run my country. Yeah.

Speaker 52 Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

Speaker 52 It's like I live here. I have four children.
I can't go anywhere. Like, what do you mean? You're trying to run the country?

Speaker 52 And you're mad that I'm like trying to get you to be more precise about your answers that you should have memorized already because you're presuming to represent me?

Speaker 95 Last cut, this is Tucker in my special on Blaze TV.

Speaker 72 You can watch it.

Speaker 126 It's about, I think it's just over an hour.

Speaker 108 Tucker and I just having a one-on-one.

Speaker 38 He went on to talk about Mike Pence, what he was most surprised about with Mike Pence.

Speaker 102 Listen to this.

Speaker 52 The Mike Pence religious freedom stuff, I have to say, you know, spun me up. It did.
It did.

Speaker 52 You can't be like, well, I'm for religious freedom except for like priests who say things the government disagrees with. They can be arrested.
Huh?

Speaker 52 You know, and it'd be fine if it was almost any, and I'm holding him to an unfair standard, but if you hold yourself up as a Christian leader who's in favor of religious freedom, well, then you kind of have to defend religious freedom, whether it's popular or not.

Speaker 52 No freedom, nobody, nobody has to defend my right to say, chocolate's delicious. Yeah.
Okay.

Speaker 52 If it's it's popular, you have to, and I don't think even our side understands that. I stand, I was

Speaker 52 when Bill Maher said, you know, I think the

Speaker 52 Saudi or the hijackers were brave, braver than our

Speaker 52 fire pilots. I disagreed with that 100%.

Speaker 52 But when ABC fired him, I stood up for him and said, What part of politically incorrect don't you understand?

Speaker 165 Blazemediasummit.com.

Speaker 136 You can see the whole summit.

Speaker 93 And

Speaker 38 I've heard that everywhere, including social media and in person.

Speaker 164 Everybody was like, I've been to these things before.

Speaker 12 I mean, I be honest with you, Ricky said, would you please not be a grump? She's my executive television producer. She said, Would you please not be a total grump?

Speaker 12 You know, when you get on the air, and I'm like, No, I just want you to know I don't want to be here.

Speaker 95 This is the last place anyone should want to be on a Friday, spending all day with a bunch of politicians listening to them campaign.

Speaker 18 But I'm a professional.

Speaker 67 But I actually, by the end of the day, had really enjoyed it because I learned so much.

Speaker 6 10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 30 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 13 So reading

Speaker 126 some of the reviews of what happened is amazing to say the truth,

Speaker 91 or

Speaker 38 to say the least.

Speaker 92 The summit that you saw, hopefully on Friday or can see, I think changed everything.

Speaker 36 Just absolutely everything on the way these things are done.

Speaker 47 We've always gone to mainstream media.

Speaker 21 This isn't mainstream media.

Speaker 134 And the difference was remarkable.

Speaker 159 Would you agree with that, Stu?

Speaker 47 Oh my God.

Speaker 5 Yes, 100%. It was a totally different experience.

Speaker 5 And I think voters, potential voters, people on the right that are interested in the differences between these candidates actually got something out of it, which is totally different than every other campaign event that I've seen over the past 20 years.

Speaker 5 Like it, it was like you got to see

Speaker 5 people pressed on not the differences between

Speaker 5 conservatives and the left or what the mainstream media wants them to be or some dumb scandal that the left has been obsessing about for years and years and years and years and years.

Speaker 5 And what was tweeted by this candidate. Instead, what you got was a discussion about the differences between conservatives, which is, of course, how everyone in a primary needs.

Speaker 5 That's the information you need to make your decision.

Speaker 87 Done by a group of people, and in this case, Tucker Carlson on stage, that

Speaker 26 are not fans of the status quo.

Speaker 35 You know,

Speaker 107 it was answering what the people, I think, want to know.

Speaker 21 The people who go to vote for Republican time and time again and are always let down when they go to Washington.

Speaker 95 And I thought it was fantastic.

Speaker 38 Let me give you some comments.

Speaker 44 Graham Allen said, Congratulations to the Blaze for an amazing job showing the country the future.

Speaker 127 What a masterclass in showing that mainstream media is dying and needs to be put out of its misery.

Speaker 16 Bravo to all who made it possible.

Speaker 127 Benny Johnson, massive shout-out to the Blaze for producing dominant, entertaining, and newsbreaking event in Iowa.

Speaker 78 The Fox News Matrix is broken.

Speaker 38 The energy shift in the GOP has been tectonic.

Speaker 59 Grassroots populists and America's first philosophy owned the movement now.

Speaker 70 Bravo Blaze TV.

Speaker 39 The delicious irony that Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson, who were both treated so disrespectfully at Fox, decimated the GOP field and broke more news in one day together than the last 20 Fox debates combined.

Speaker 38 It should not be lost here.

Speaker 37 This is an epic media revenge arc story.

Speaker 26 I don't look at it as revenge, but I just look at it as the truth.

Speaker 127 Let's see. The Blaze put on a masterclass on how to defeat the mainstream media by becoming more powerful than them.

Speaker 51 Incredible performance by the entire Blaze team.

Speaker 35 Anyway, it goes on and on and on.

Speaker 30 It is really, truly remarkable.

Speaker 129 Listen to this email.

Speaker 136 How much time do I have, Sarah?

Speaker 145 I was traveling through the United States on a 3,000-mile motorcycle trip last week.

Speaker 43 One of the days I was there during the Blaze TV summit.

Speaker 86 In between gas stops, I glanced at Twitter.

Speaker 38 I've never seen one network dominate my feed like Blaze TV did that day.

Speaker 30 Everyone, and I mean everyone, was talking and tweeting about the summit.

Speaker 37 Clips from the Blaze TV getting shared, shared, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 121 Wait until you hear what this bike rider discovered right outside of the Navajo Indian Reservation when he stayed overnight.

Speaker 55 All right, Heather.

Speaker 136 Our sponsor is,

Speaker 114 who is it, Sarah?

Speaker 47 Oh, it's real estate agents.

Speaker 57 I love those guys.

Speaker 105 You know the guy who started that thing?

Speaker 81 He is.

Speaker 43 He's a genius.

Speaker 90 He really is.

Speaker 92 I don't remember his name right now if he spells his name with two N's or one.

Speaker 162 I think it's two.

Speaker 127 Anyway, I want to tell you about a man named John.

Speaker 61 He's from New Jersey.

Speaker 150 John is a former Marine.

Speaker 36 He's been a volunteer firefighter for the last 18 years, heavily involved with his local branch of the American Legion.

Speaker 120 He's been the chairman of their Memorial Day parade for over a decade.

Speaker 166 He's involved in all of his small towns, local politics.

Speaker 11 He serves as deputy mayor and as a town committeeman.

Speaker 12 He's a busy guy and he has made commitments to his community.

Speaker 56 The other thing he does, by the way, and this is his full-time job, is he works with us, RealEstateAgentsitrust.com.

Speaker 83 We partner with the top sellers, but we also partner with good, solid people.

Speaker 145 These agents work their tail off for you.

Speaker 21 Stu,

Speaker 70 just thought we should say goodbye to

Speaker 47 my son Rafe, who is on his way home to PAC and then on his way to college.

Speaker 72 And I guess I will see you at college.

Speaker 102 This will be the last time I see you.

Speaker 4 Well, yeah, you won't see me probably until either Abilene Christian when we come down and we whoop Jason's home team. Okay.

Speaker 53 All right.

Speaker 47 He's just been

Speaker 92 brought on as an

Speaker 25 assistant to the offensive coordinator.

Speaker 4 Yeah,

Speaker 4 I'm like his right-hand man, so like the assistant to the offensive coordinator.

Speaker 4 So when he's calling the plays, I'm going to be like right behind him, helping writing down everything he says with the plays.

Speaker 4 And then, in between, I'm getting everything ready, seeing what worked best and what can we do.

Speaker 113 So, is there any trepidation of doing this, seeing that you're my son?

Speaker 23 And I don't mean politically like we usually mean it.

Speaker 152 I mean, like

Speaker 36 there's no sports in your blood at all with me.

Speaker 4 No, you've never thrown a ball with me.

Speaker 55 No, I think it's grandpa.

Speaker 101 I have thrown a ball, but not very well,

Speaker 23 if that's what you want to call it.

Speaker 4 But no, yeah,

Speaker 4 it's definitely interesting because, I mean, we're just not very sporty. You know, just more of the arts and whatnot.

Speaker 4 And so this has been a bit of a, almost like an uphill challenge without being able to know a whole lot and having to hit the ground running or sprinting.

Speaker 52 Yeah.

Speaker 47 And yet

Speaker 100 it's happening. I don't know how it happens, too, because you weren't even around.

Speaker 48 Remember, I talked to you when he was young.

Speaker 109 I'm like, you're going to have to teach him football or something because

Speaker 26 there's not a chance.

Speaker 5 And what is he going to, you know, what is he going to end up being like without with a dad like me and he just did it himself yeah it's incredible it's an amazing it's an amazing story i don't know rafe what it feels like that you've already accomplished more athletically than your dad and you're you just graduated high school uh but that is pretty it's pretty uh it's a pretty impressive i should point out actually sorry i should point out i did it in two years you had all four and i did it in in two

Speaker 123 no i've had 59

Speaker 5 uh and that uh still doesn't help i think it's a good uh it's an interesting summary of your parenting, Rafe, for all these years that he described it as an uphill battle.

Speaker 5 So that's what you've brought to his life, not even keeping the ground flat, but actually made it an uphill battle.

Speaker 9 Well, you know what?

Speaker 106 I am thrilled because my son is very well-rounded, very well-rounded.

Speaker 11 And he can now do the football thing, which I can't do, but he can also,

Speaker 62 you know,

Speaker 127 do other things, I guess, that I taught him.

Speaker 66 No, I mean, you know, the one thing that I am really proud of is all of my kids have a very eclectic

Speaker 11 look at almost everything and could do almost anything.

Speaker 61 I mean, your musical taste, who are your favorites?

Speaker 4 Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin. So any of the rat pack, pretty much.
But then it also goes over to like Luciano Pavarotti and then also just AC DC is my favorite rock band of all time. So, I mean,

Speaker 4 I'll listen to anything except for death metal, pretty much.

Speaker 117 Yeah, that's a good thing.

Speaker 80 So let me ask, and you don't have to get into this, you've had a rough couple of years,

Speaker 129 personally.

Speaker 112 Yeah.

Speaker 24 What got you through it and now to a point to where you're actually not like freaking out?

Speaker 4 Oh, I'm freaking out. Oh, are you?

Speaker 107 What got you through that to a point to where now

Speaker 33 you are on your way to college and have confidence in what you're going to do?

Speaker 4 I guess just keeping one foot in front of the other, not looking over at the big picture stuff and just, it's just one day at a time. It's not going to be,

Speaker 4 I know it was never going to be easy, but instead of looking at like, hey, I need to get to here and these are all of the challenges I need to get through it.

Speaker 4 It's just, this is the challenge for today. This is the next challenge.
And just keep letting them come in as they come on and go.

Speaker 20 You and I both have talked for, since you were little, about being a leader of men.

Speaker 117 And that you always said, I don't want to be a leader of men.

Speaker 4 No, I said I wanted to be Sam from the Book of Mormon. I never

Speaker 4 wanted to be Nephi.

Speaker 26 And is that still on?

Speaker 93 And

Speaker 26 that's because of what you saw happen with us.

Speaker 5 With you, yeah.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 125 And

Speaker 30 let me ask you,

Speaker 66 do you find it ironic that as a coach you'll be a leader of men?

Speaker 4 I guess kind of, just a little bit.

Speaker 109 I can't hear him.

Speaker 52 Go ahead. Lost his mic.

Speaker 4 I guess kind of, but it's,

Speaker 4 I don't know, it's more exciting now because I've had time to develop and to mature. And during that time, I've just been able to, I guess, more accept it and more.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 I love working with people. I don't see it as leading people.
I see it as helping others and helping those around me.

Speaker 100 You're going to do well, my son.

Speaker 20 I don't have any parting words for you other than I love you.

Speaker 46 And take care on your trip, and I'll see you there in a couple of weeks, okay?

Speaker 110 I love you. I love you.

Speaker 44 See you, buddy.

Speaker 52 It's weird.

Speaker 30 Sorry doing that on the air here, but

Speaker 95 yeah, everybody has to do it with with their son at some point, and he's uh going off to catch a plane here.

Speaker 111 Um

Speaker 95 we were talking about the Blaze Media Summit and what is happening, and I was telling you about a guy who was riding a motorcycle across the country, and it happened.

Speaker 43 And he was watching, you know, the tweets and listening to it.

Speaker 92 And he said he stopped out outside of a Navajo Indian reservation, and it was a small bed and breakfast, and the guys were talking about it in the morning.

Speaker 113 And he said, I about spit my orange juice out.

Speaker 40 The coverage wasn't just going viral on social media.

Speaker 85 It was literally everywhere, even in this little small town and breakfast.

Speaker 47 But it was also, and this is the important part for the Republicans to hear, it was also very relatable.

Speaker 43 What Tucker was bringing out of these interviews was exactly what I was seeing in the small towns and even the Indian reservations.

Speaker 43 When Tucker told Pence that America, the America we remember, is now collapsing and asked why Ukraine is somehow more important.

Speaker 145 I remember the conversation I had with a Navajo Nation mom of six.

Speaker 43 She had moved off the reservation due to the crime and the rampant meth problem.

Speaker 12 Then I spoke to a woman in her 60s at another small town that lamented that the days where her small town was full of job opportunities and promise were over.

Speaker 141 She told the stories of the old factory and how crime didn't even really exist.

Speaker 36 Then came the layoffs.

Speaker 38 Then came the shuttered businesses.

Speaker 86 Then came the epidemic of meth and drugs from the southern border.

Speaker 39 This is the America the elitist left wants us to pretend does not exist.

Speaker 46 But it is also the America that was talking about, debating, and sharing clips from Blaze Media Summit.

Speaker 107 I spoke to them.

Speaker 38 The media should be terrified.

Speaker 43 The mainstream media is over.

Speaker 133 And I think that's what we, I think that's what we felt.

Speaker 152 And anybody who is watching it, it was really strange.

Speaker 70 You know, I started doing the Blaze in, what, 2010 or 11?

Speaker 22 And

Speaker 27 it's finally now hitting the place to where the mainstream media, Fox is,

Speaker 86 people know what Fox is now.

Speaker 93 And

Speaker 81 it's hit a tipping point.

Speaker 37 This is really, really good for America.

Speaker 104 Really good for America.

Speaker 51 Because I think you got an honest debate.

Speaker 5 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 5 competition is always good, right? It's always something that's important, and it's good to see that there's some competition out there.

Speaker 5 And not only just to other, you know, networks that might call themselves conservative, but also just to the fact that the mainstream media has dominated this part of the structure of our country for a really long time.

Speaker 5 You know, if you think about a primary, you're trying to make a decision in a primary, right? One of the big issues is Ukraine, right? You have a couple different versions of that argument.

Speaker 5 You have an argument where, you know, where Tucker has kind of been the main advocate of the skeptical argument toward funding Ukraine.

Speaker 5 And if you go back, I think, to, if you go back to, like, for example, 2014, Russia invades Crimea, the conversation on the right was largely about how Barack Obama abandoned his own red line and did nothing about it, right?

Speaker 5 And in that period of that decade, that conversation has really kind of changed, where there's still a lot of people who kind of want that more healthy

Speaker 5 version, a hawkish defense, if you will.

Speaker 5 And then there's a, but I think there's far more people now, specifically in the primary voter group, that are really skeptical about any of this and getting involved in any of it.

Speaker 5 And if these candidates had gone on to, I don't know, meet the press or some other, you know, left-wing media organization and this conversation would have come up, it would have been,

Speaker 5 think of someone who's hawkish someone like Mike Pence would have been asked the question of why do other why do other people that are crazy in your party disagree with Joe Biden's position on this right that's essentially the tone of the questioning that would hit Mike Pence right he would be asked he would be asked to essentially bash his other candidates by saying why they're so wrong instead this debate gave voice to that other more skeptical view and pressed those candidates on that.

Speaker 5 So we were able to learn the difference between them. We were able to see the nuances in their positions.
We were able to see if they could defend those positions.

Speaker 5 And Americans who were voting in these primaries actually got something out of it because of that.

Speaker 49 And we also got a chance to see the different sides of them as well.

Speaker 18 I mean, you know, we didn't see, oh, I want to know the softer side.

Speaker 106 What does he read to his children?

Speaker 171 I didn't care about any of that.

Speaker 11 But after Ramaswamy came off, he sat down with me while we were waiting for

Speaker 119 DeSantis to come on.

Speaker 93 And

Speaker 166 I said to him, I said, you just said, and I've heard, you know, you were the strongest so far, saying that you would just shut down the Department of Justice, the FBI.

Speaker 106 I said, how are you going to do that?

Speaker 167 He said, I'm coming in with a clear-sided view of shutting down most of the administrative state.

Speaker 57 First of all, I'm going to do it on strong legal authority.

Speaker 12 So I'm a unique combination.

Speaker 39 I like to brag a lot.

Speaker 33 I don't like to brag a lot, but I'm a CEO.

Speaker 59 But I also studied the Constitution deeply, and the Supreme Court right now shares my view of the Constitution.

Speaker 174 The U.S.

Speaker 91 President already has statutory authority.

Speaker 90 The Presidential Reorganization Act of 1977 says you can shut down redundant agencies.

Speaker 57 Well, when I look at what the DEA does and what the U.S.

Speaker 51 Marshals do, There's my legal justification for shutting down the FBI without asking Congress for permission or forgiveness.

Speaker 124 Civil service protections protect against individual firings for employees for supposedly political reasons.

Speaker 86 They don't apply to mass layoffs, and mass layoffs are exactly what I'm bringing to Washington, D.C.

Speaker 86 Holy cow is that strong.

Speaker 12 And I think it might be things like that that Donald Trump might have heard from the summit that made him come out this weekend and say, you know, Ramaswamy might be a good vice presidential candidate.

Speaker 26 He said,

Speaker 95 I'm considering Tim Scott or Vivek.

Speaker 75 And I think Vivek would make a great vice president because he comes at it as a 30, what is he, 37?

Speaker 57 Yeah.

Speaker 50 37-year-old man who is very accomplished and gets it quickly.

Speaker 5 It's interesting, too. One thing strategically from him that you're not seeing from a lot of the other candidates is boldness.

Speaker 5 I think that when you're at a guy who doesn't, you know, no one knows who Vivek Ramaswamy was

Speaker 5 on the national level, other than the fact he's been on this show a bunch of times. I know he's been in Tucker a bunch of times.
And he had some,

Speaker 5 to conservatives that really follow this stuff, he had some

Speaker 5 notoriety. But like, when you're coming into a race like this and you're at 1 and 2% to start, which of course

Speaker 5 where he was.

Speaker 5 You think being bold would be the strategy, right? Find out what your principle is. What do you really believe? How can you accomplish that? And don't be scared to say it.

Speaker 5 And I think you see some of these other candidates who have been floundering around two and three percent playing a pretty

Speaker 5 pretty conservative if you will game like not really coming out and saying much of anything i i don't know if they're assuming they're thinking maybe donald trump will flame out and that's when they're going to turn their engines on but man how many times has that been predicted it's it's a it's a fascinating thing to watch where ramaswamy's been the one guy you could say okay You listen to him and you might, I mean, I know a lot of people have constitutional doubts as to whether he could actually get these things done in the way he's talking about it.

Speaker 5 But at least he's putting ideas out there that are innovative and bold and give people something to talk about, where a lot of these candidates don't seem to be doing that at all.

Speaker 86 Let me tell you about our sponsor, this half-hour.

Speaker 136 It's Pre-Born.

Speaker 38 One of these days, maybe in our lifetimes, it is possible you will see the abolition of abortion.

Speaker 38 And the only way that really happens is if we change people's hearts.

Speaker 12 The history books of our future are going to write about the generational trauma, the breakdown of families, the destruction of basic morality, and how one day it all came to an end.

Speaker 134 But for now, we're still in that historic era.

Speaker 137 The Ministry of Pre-Born stands every day for the helpless among us, but they don't only mean the helpless babies, the unborn.

Speaker 50 They provide free ultrasounds and postnatal help for up to two years for the moms.

Speaker 43 This is what is moving the needle tremendously.

Speaker 136 When an expecting mother comes in and she hears the heartbeat for the first time, chances are she's going to choose life for that baby.

Speaker 73 When you can be a part of that, it is so satisfying.

Speaker 44 Someday, when people ask, you know, what did you do when all this was going on?

Speaker 66 Or your grandkids,

Speaker 106 your grandkids can say, My grandparents helped save a life through pre-born.

Speaker 150 It helped save many lives and it turned the tables. It turned the tide.

Speaker 31 One ultrasound is $28.

Speaker 107 Dial pound250, say the keyword baby.

Speaker 166 Pound250, keyword baby.

Speaker 92 I don't think there's anything that could bring more blessings on our heads than saving God's children.

Speaker 105 And that means the moms, too.

Speaker 174 It is a tremendous look at the future.

Speaker 127 It was interesting to me.

Speaker 85 There were only two people that kind of talked about this in

Speaker 107 the summit last week, and that was Vivek and also Ron DeSantis talked about all of the issues that are in here and they both really get it.

Speaker 36 Make sure you're on the path and you know what's coming your way.

Speaker 39 if I have the time, I would like to leave you with something very nice from Kamala Harris on, you know, on what we can do for climate change.

Speaker 146 Here she is.

Speaker 176 when we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water

Speaker 55 wait wait

Speaker 71 reduce pop

Speaker 61 who is talking about reducing pop

Speaker 107 dark future get it now the glenn back program the sponsor of this half hour is american giant you know we have changed so much as as americans um we used to make things

Speaker 13 ourselves.

Speaker 11 Being made in America meant high quality.

Speaker 51 I personally think that's coming back in style.

Speaker 33 And, you know, there are people who are risking everything right now.

Speaker 105 American Giant is one of them.

Speaker 12 They began in 2012 when a clothing factory in North Carolina was going to shut down.

Speaker 126 They worked with the factory to invest in new machinery, skill development.

Speaker 38 10 years later. later today, they make the best hoodie you'll ever own.

Speaker 144 They make the ones, quite honestly, that haven't been made since the 1960s because they brought all this machinery back that America had gotten rid of and sold to Japan.

Speaker 51 American Giant.

Speaker 29 You want it made in America by Americans that are renewing their own city and themselves.

Speaker 37 You picked the right place.

Speaker 95 American Giant.

Speaker 145 Please look at their clothing now and save American-giant.com/slash Glenn.

Speaker 177 Martha listens to her favorite band all the time. In the car,

Speaker 177 gym,

Speaker 177 even sleeping.

Speaker 177 So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live. She saved so much, she got a seat close enough to actually see and hear them.

Speaker 177 Sort of.

Speaker 177 You were made to scream from the front row.

Speaker 10 We were made to quietly save you more.

Speaker 177 Expedia, made to travel. Savings vary, and subject to availability, flight-inclusive packages are at all protected.

Speaker 177 You're no room to compromise.

Speaker 177 We gotta stand together, it's a girl survive.

Speaker 177 Stand up standing, hold the life.

Speaker 177 It's a new day, our time to rise.

Speaker 54 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 2 This is

Speaker 55 the Glen Beck Program.

Speaker 42 Hello, America.

Speaker 56 Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

Speaker 172 I want to just touch base on something quickly.

Speaker 58 The White House said, no, no, this was a mistake.

Speaker 31 And maybe it was.

Speaker 68 But it was an important mistake from Kabbalah Harris.

Speaker 57 Here's what she said over the weekend in Baltimore about the Inflation Reduction Act.

Speaker 143 Listen.

Speaker 175 Cut nine.

Speaker 176 When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, More of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.

Speaker 12 Now, to be fair, they say that she meant reduce pollution, not population.

Speaker 12 But I think there's some others that might disagree with that.

Speaker 172 However, let's put into perspective as well, she's talking about the Inflation Reduction Act. So she's talking about spending more

Speaker 12 on things the government is going to do, and that somehow or another, that's going to reduce inflation.

Speaker 21 No, that whole thing was a lie.

Speaker 57 And an important thing to point out about the population in 60 seconds.

Speaker 130 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

Speaker 67 It is Goldline.

Speaker 14 Great article in their weekly news section.

Speaker 57 By the way, go to their weekend review.

Speaker 125 You'll get an email if you want it, but you can just go to their website and just look for news.

Speaker 12 This is the email was titled, The American Banking Landscape is on the cusp of a seismic shift.

Speaker 167 Expect more pain to come.

Speaker 100 Even if you haven't subscribed to their free newsletter, market updates, you should call them and ask them, just get this, or go to their website and look in their news section.

Speaker 39 In the article, they suggest that bank failures may not be over.

Speaker 79 What?

Speaker 84 Half of the country's banks will likely be swallowed up by competitors.

Speaker 84 Of course they will, until there's only four or five banks that are left, and those banks will be the banks of the Federal Reserve.

Speaker 73 That's what's happening.

Speaker 172 Maybe it's time to take charge of your own bank.

Speaker 125 Give the folks over at Goldline a chance to find out

Speaker 65 how to protect your money using precious metals.

Speaker 14 Goldline has a special this week on their quarter-ounce gold Mayflower coins.

Speaker 58 With every 20 of their quarter-ounce gold Mayflower coins acquired, you're going to receive at no additional charge 250 one-ounce copper rounds.

Speaker 153 You don't want to wait, make your call right now.

Speaker 156 Call 800, or sorry, 866Goldline, 866Goldline.

Speaker 12 They're waiting for your call right now, 866Goldline or goldline.com.

Speaker 13 All right, so I want to start with this, Kamala Harris, and play the clip again.

Speaker 151 And again,

Speaker 12 in a very credible way, and I mean this sincerely, in a very credible way, the the White House has come out and said she meant pollution, not population.

Speaker 17 And that is probably true.

Speaker 118 So listen to this.

Speaker 176 When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.

Speaker 114 Okay.

Speaker 173 I think you could make the case

Speaker 47 with all of the things that we point out in Dark Future that she may have meant pollution in this speech, but they actually do intend on reducing the population.

Speaker 95 And I say that because

Speaker 131 only a moron would think that you could cut out

Speaker 78 the traditions of farming, go to an entirely new system of farming from seed to table, and exclude

Speaker 8 fertilizer

Speaker 87 and expect people not to starve.

Speaker 159 I'm telling you, billions,

Speaker 12 billions of people are at risk because of just what they're doing with food.

Speaker 156 Now add energy.

Speaker 57 When you have energy and you are getting rid of all of your fossil fuels and you don't have anything to replace it, and what you do have to replace it is nuclear power plants, and you're shutting those down,

Speaker 167 and you're shutting down and dismantling your coal-fire plants, people are going to freeze to death.

Speaker 143 It's true.

Speaker 95 Now, let me ask you: for anyone who is upset at me saying, you know, it might be correct that she meant

Speaker 16 pollution,

Speaker 38 but when she said reduce population,

Speaker 124 that also

Speaker 143 does reduce all of our CO2s.

Speaker 145 You have a smaller footprint if you have smaller human population.

Speaker 107 If you're really upset about that, then help me out on two stories.

Speaker 76 Canadian man claims he was fired from his job as a fuel supplier when he helped rescue a desperate moose calf from a potential black bear attack.

Speaker 41 Mark Scage, he worked for AFD Petroleum.

Speaker 12 He was driving back from a job site when he saw an abandoned moose wandering on the side of the road in British Columbia.

Speaker 124 He pulled over, hopped out of his vehicle.

Speaker 38 The calf attempted to climb into his truck as he noticed a bear was stalking just a few days, this animal was just a few days old.

Speaker 49 There was a black bear 50 yards away, just waiting.

Speaker 36 I made the decision at the time, she kept trying to climb into my work truck, that I just couldn't leave her there.

Speaker 90 So I stuck her in the passenger side and drove her to town to get her some help.

Speaker 12 Canadian man said he was fired from his job because he saved the moose calf.

Speaker 145 His decision to bring the calf in his truck came from his background as an outdoorsman.

Speaker 43 He knew what he was doing was against the law.

Speaker 17 I just couldn't do it in my heart.

Speaker 18 People can say all they want.

Speaker 68 But I know as an outdoorsman, we talk about predator control.

Speaker 66 Black bears are the number one one predator for those calves.

Speaker 37 So I just thought, well, I can't take care of the predator, but maybe I can try to help out this one little calf.

Speaker 57 So, it's against the law.

Speaker 171 It's against the law.

Speaker 94 Hmm.

Speaker 72 Why is it against the law to get rid of the predators?

Speaker 61 Because if you get rid of the predators, then the prey has overpopulation.

Speaker 39 You want to make sure there's no overpopulation.

Speaker 123 Now,

Speaker 41 they care deeply about the bear

Speaker 39 and they care deeply about the balance.

Speaker 95 Well, then maybe isn't this the same thing?

Speaker 11 Also, from Canada, Toronto.

Speaker 38 The 47-year-old that wrestled with an eating disorder anorexia for decades says she has a warped relationship with her body since age eight.

Speaker 125 These days she weighs 92 pounds and may go days without eating solid food.

Speaker 40 She says she is too weak to carry groceries home without stopping for breaks.

Speaker 38 Every day is hell, she says.

Speaker 86 I'm so tired.

Speaker 34 I'm done.

Speaker 39 I've tried everything.

Speaker 33 I feel like I've lived my life.

Speaker 12 An expansion of the criteria for medically assisted death comes into force in March 2024 will allow Canadians like Polly whose sole underlying condition is mental illness to choose medically assisted death.

Speaker 19 Canada legalized assisted death in 2016 for people with terminal illness and then expanded it to 2021 with people with incurable but not terminal conditions.

Speaker 90 The legal change participated by a court ruling that struck down prohibitions on helping people die.

Speaker 113 The new mental health provision will make Canada one of the most expansive countries in the world when it comes to medical assistance in dying.

Speaker 75 Proponents of assisted death,

Speaker 38 excuse me, which is still a novel concept in many parts of the world, say it's an issue of personal autonomy.

Speaker 95 But six disability rights and religious advocates told Reuters that the pace of the planned changes to the assisted death framework in Canada brings additional risks of people opting for MAID,

Speaker 78 medical assistance in dying MAID, because they're unable to access social services, the lack which could exacerbate their suffering.

Speaker 159 So are we reducing the population? We're not.

Speaker 64 I mean, we got to make sure that we keep that herd reduced, you know, in Canada.

Speaker 33 You don't want to get rid of the predators.

Speaker 143 Why?

Speaker 38 Because

Speaker 127 the ranchers, the rangers, they know,

Speaker 47 even if it is compassionate,

Speaker 121 you cannot save that calf from being eaten by the bear because life goes on.

Speaker 87 It must.

Speaker 126 The survival of the fittest is important.

Speaker 148 Isn't that the same with MAID?

Speaker 61 The survival of the fittest?

Speaker 168 Except this time it's done with compassion.

Speaker 33 Look, they can't make their way.

Speaker 141 They're unhappy.

Speaker 67 they're a burden on the rest of society I mean they die out anyway

Speaker 175 shouldn't we just help them along

Speaker 158 maybe that's me but that's the way I read all of these

Speaker 12 and I read them this way

Speaker 39 in a way that I probably wouldn't have 20 years ago.

Speaker 12 But I read them that way because I never thought the world would go back and start looking at the values and the principles that set the entire world on fire back in the 1930s.

Speaker 28 These crazy Marxist, communist, fascistic goals where man has become God and man can tell the farmer exactly how to farm, they're experts, even though they've never had their hands in the soil like they have.

Speaker 148 They can't manage the farm

Speaker 128 from Moscow

Speaker 65 because they're not even anywhere close to it.

Speaker 34 Yet that's what we're doing with our farmers.

Speaker 21 I never thought we'd turn back to a time where experimental surgery that permanently mutilates children like they did in the 1930s and 40s.

Speaker 38 I never thought that the medical associations of America would do that.

Speaker 38 I really thought in America they had learned first from their mass sterilization on picking which people should be allowed to marry and to breed.

Speaker 49 That's why you have a marriage license, you know, right?

Speaker 126 That was a progressive thing to make sure that we licensed people because you just didn't want any of your cattle breeding with any other cattle.

Speaker 136 That's why you have a blood test.

Speaker 41 We've got to make sure.

Speaker 21 Technology is just catching up with this insane eugenics idea.

Speaker 12 So I just never saw it coming.

Speaker 18 But now that I know,

Speaker 12 and I know because I did my homework and I put it in the book Dark Future, now that I know, when I see something like the 47-year-old that's 92 pounds and they're offering now made

Speaker 12 medical assistance in dying, I wonder if this isn't the same old, same old.

Speaker 113 And when I see that a man goes to jail for having the compassion to put a bull moose, a baby into his truck so it's not eaten by a bear, I mean, I understand the predator thing.

Speaker 12 But when I see that

Speaker 91 the same people that are supposedly saying, let's kill them for compassion,

Speaker 33 they're really all about the survival of the fittest,

Speaker 29 I wonder if

Speaker 81 Kamala Harris wasn't actually telling the truth, whether she knows it or not, that we are looking at a reduction of the population.

Speaker 12 Back in just a minute.

Speaker 146 Our sponsor,

Speaker 146 this half hour is Tunnel for Towers.

Speaker 13 These people are absolutely the best.

Speaker 107 I really like them, and I don't want you to take my word for it.

Speaker 90 Look, charity is a very personal thing,

Speaker 139 and

Speaker 30 this has to be something that means something to you, that you want to help, and also that you do your own homework and say, you know, how much of the dollar goes to what they say they're helping.

Speaker 86 The best way to look at charity is as as an investment.

Speaker 26 How much of that dollar is going to what I care about?

Speaker 105 I think it's 96 cents on every dollar from tunnel to towers.

Speaker 109 It's some insanely high percentage,

Speaker 38 goes to who they say they're serving.

Speaker 40 And those are the heroes.

Speaker 38 Those are the heroes of the police department. Those are the heroes of the fire department.

Speaker 18 Those are the heroes of our wounded and veterans that never came home.

Speaker 38 They take care of the heroes.

Speaker 44 And when there is a real serious problem, when somebody loses their life and they have a family at home,

Speaker 75 they do their best to take care of all of these guys, to make sure that their families are taken care of.

Speaker 33 And they take away the mortgage.

Speaker 162 They give them the mortgage and pick it up themselves.

Speaker 165 Can you help do this?

Speaker 39 The foundation has helped hundreds of first responder families all across America by removing the burden of a mortgage.

Speaker 38 And thanks to supporters like you,

Speaker 35 they're on a mission.

Speaker 12 And it takes $11 a month from you to be able to make this mission happen.

Speaker 172 Donate to tunneltotowers at t2t.org.

Speaker 64 That's t, the number2t.org.

Speaker 79 Tunnel to towers.

Speaker 105 10 seconds, station ID.

Speaker 52 Why don't you take it here, Stu?

Speaker 114 You take it, something.

Speaker 99 I got it if you don't.

Speaker 35 All right.

Speaker 121 Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 88 We've talked a lot about

Speaker 36 the GOP candidates and what they were talking about on the summit.

Speaker 12 If you haven't seen the summit, you really, really need to subscribe.

Speaker 38 Go to Blazemediasummit.com.

Speaker 48 You can see the whole summit and you can get the Blaze subscribers only interview with me and Tucker Carlson that went on for about an hour.

Speaker 116 Were you still there, Stu, when that took place?

Speaker 5 Yeah, I was in the back room watching it on the monitors, but I did, I watched the whole thing. It was really interesting.
And, you know, he's an interesting guy in that he, I don't know.

Speaker 5 He comes off as, in person, at least, is really like happy and joyful and

Speaker 5 he seems to just like his life and existence.

Speaker 6 He does.

Speaker 5 Yeah, it's not the way he's portrayed in the media. He's portrayed as this dower.

Speaker 38 He's very likable.

Speaker 26 You know, one of the first things he said was, I judge a man by his family.

Speaker 39 If your family

Speaker 105 doesn't love you and you're not in touch with your family, I don't think you're much of an individual.

Speaker 51 You've kind of missed the main point of certain things.

Speaker 121 And I immediately thought,

Speaker 100 well, I wonder what he thinks of Joe Biden and his family.

Speaker 3 That's

Speaker 5 a lot to learn there from that particular situation.

Speaker 5 I think, too, like looking at the event itself, and

Speaker 5 I stop and wonder if anyone's going to want to do another one of them because there were some moments where people really sunk their candidacy, if there was any candidacy there.

Speaker 5 I hasten

Speaker 5 to say that about Asa Hutchinson because I just, you know, I... What are you sinking?

Speaker 3 The Hindenburg certainly wasn't far off the ground when it collapsed, that's for sure.

Speaker 5 But I mean, you wonder, though, if candidates are going to want to do these forums like this.

Speaker 5 I mean, in some ways, it's more beneficial for them to go up and just go to a mainstream media interview where, of course, they will look rational to conservatives in comparison to that host, where this was a situation where they had to be really compared with each other and they had to be compared with the differences within the movement, which, of course, is the only interesting thing to voters who are voting in a Republican primary.

Speaker 5 No one cares if, you know, what you think about Trump's January 6th tweeting.

Speaker 5 That's what the media will ask people about.

Speaker 5 This was a totally different way of covering one of these things. And I, A, wonder if candidates are going to want to do it again because it was hard.
It wasn't easy.

Speaker 5 And secondly, I think if people look at this as conservatives and look at the value of this, I hope that will convince them to come on board with Blaze TV, as you were just mentioning, because it really, you can see the difference when you have

Speaker 5 a weapon like this in your arsenal, like a network that will go there, cover the stuff fairly, actually give you the types of questions you want answered.

Speaker 5 That makes a huge difference when you're trying to actually figure out who is the best candidate in an 11-candidate field.

Speaker 5 I mean, you really learned something on Friday, and I think it was a real difference maker.

Speaker 101 I will tell you that we tried really hard to be fair.

Speaker 125 And,

Speaker 43 well, with an exception of me with Asa,

Speaker 75 we don't.

Speaker 87 I mean, I questioned before he got on stage,

Speaker 103 why is this man here?

Speaker 145 Anybody see his picture on a milk carton?

Speaker 6 Here he is.

Speaker 51 You should come pick him up.

Speaker 30 Because I don't know why he's.

Speaker 154 He hadn't been seen for a while.

Speaker 90 And probably for good reason.

Speaker 5 At least he showed up, though. He took his swing.

Speaker 53 Yeah, he did.

Speaker 5 He took his shot, and it didn't work, and that happens. It's hard to become president of the United States.

Speaker 5 So, I mean, I don't think he was going anywhere before this, and he's not going anywhere after it. So So nothing really ventured, nothing lost.

Speaker 12 Yes. So let me ask you, Stu.

Speaker 95 I saw two candidates without naming names.

Speaker 86 I saw two candidates who I thought, that's a president.

Speaker 37 That's somebody ready to be president.

Speaker 95 How many did you see?

Speaker 5 Yeah, I'd say two. I might.

Speaker 5 I mean, I think if you're looking for people who performed well there, I thought there were, I thought maybe three performed well.

Speaker 5 You know, I think there was two catastrophes.

Speaker 5 And I thought, you know, the other candidates either did okay or what you'd expect from them or maybe improved their standing a little bit. And that's

Speaker 5 all you can hope for.

Speaker 42 But

Speaker 12 there were two that I think got a standing ovation

Speaker 93 and

Speaker 14 they were well deserved.

Speaker 90 And we'll talk about those two coming up in just a second.

Speaker 54 The Glenn Back Program.

Speaker 12 Friends, I want you to switch. I want you to switch right now.

Speaker 47 Sure, all of your children may be switching, and you'll be saying, Why are they switching?

Speaker 30 Bobby, why are you wearing a dress?

Speaker 109 I'm not talking about that kind of switching. Oh, no, friends, I'm talking of switching to Patriot Mobile.

Speaker 101 Patriot Mobile, they don't

Speaker 12 cross any of those lines or cross dress.

Speaker 34 They are they're all binary.

Speaker 171 They're cisgender.

Speaker 38 And I can't speak for all of them, but I will tell you that they're in the schools making sure that our kids don't have, you know, things like drag shows.

Speaker 151 Huh? Can I get an amen?

Speaker 82 And they also give you the best mobile service out there no matter where you are.

Speaker 33 Patriot Mobile, the only Christian conservative wireless provider providing dependable nationwide coverage on all three networks.

Speaker 39 So you get the best possible service in your area.

Speaker 143 And when you switch, you can keep your phone, you can keep your number.

Speaker 12 PatriotMobile.com/slash Beck or 878-PATIOT.

Speaker 65 878-PATRIOIT. Can I get it?

Speaker 56 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 58 Sorry for this personal note, but we could not have done the Blaze Summit without Nelco Media.

Speaker 70 They are a valued partner at Blaze Media and they helped with the Iowa Summit.

Speaker 90 I mean, they did something, honestly. We said to them, We're one mixing board short.

Speaker 34 Could we borrow one?

Speaker 66 They were like, it's already in the truck, ready to go.

Speaker 127 Take it.

Speaker 48 I mean, they were really amazing, and we couldn't have done it without them. So thank you, Nelco Media.

Speaker 116 Stu, we're talking about the politics of what happened on Friday at the Blaze Media Summit.

Speaker 93 And

Speaker 106 it is something that has happened in Iowa.

Speaker 34 all the time.

Speaker 107 The Family Leadership Council puts this on, but it's usually not covered by the mainstream media like we covered it.

Speaker 21 And it became the, you know, I believe it was the number one trend on Friday.

Speaker 39 And I'm still seeing newspaper reports and everything else about it today.

Speaker 86 But we haven't even had a chance to talk.

Speaker 72 We left, went our separate ways shortly after the

Speaker 97 summit and really haven't a chance to decompress from it.

Speaker 39 Can we go through all of the candidates that were there?

Speaker 95 And

Speaker 31 I'd like to hear your opinion on whether they help or hurt themselves, and what was the most important thing we learned?

Speaker 5 Sure. We started with Asa Hutchinson.
I think we can.

Speaker 56 No, no, no, let's start at the beginning.

Speaker 158 Let's start with Tim Scott. He was the first one.

Speaker 5 That's right. Oh, yeah.
Tim Scott was first. That's right.
Tim Scott was first. And Scott is an interesting candidate.
I generally like Tim Scott. I think he's

Speaker 5 with 100% certainty the best senator from South Carolina that we have by a very, very large margin.

Speaker 68 Large margin.

Speaker 12 It's almost like Biden is in the other seat.

Speaker 122 I can't remember who is, but anyway, go to it.

Speaker 5 Somebody else. You know, he was, he, you know, he came in.
He has a more hawkish view on Ukraine, which he was pressed on significantly by Tucker during the interview.

Speaker 5 You know,

Speaker 5 the one thing you'd say about Tim Scott is that

Speaker 5 he has sort of a quirky energy to him. Like, he, I think some people really like it.
It shows a lot of optimism.

Speaker 5 He has that sort of,

Speaker 5 I don't know, that vibe, right? Like

Speaker 5 he's not flustered by stuff.

Speaker 5 He defended himself and defended his viewpoints.

Speaker 5 He had a little bit of a stylistic thing where he was starting the interview with Tucker.

Speaker 5 He'd get the question, and then he'd sort of just stand up and address the crowd and walk around, which I thought was

Speaker 5 a little odd.

Speaker 5 He was the first one to go.

Speaker 5 So it was a little bit strange. Generally speaking, I don't think he helped or hurt himself.
I thought he did basically what I thought he would do.

Speaker 5 He wasn't a standout performer, but I don't think he didn't blow himself up like some of the other candidates on stage by any means.

Speaker 5 I thought he was fine, but didn't improve his standing all that much.

Speaker 24 So I thought he helped himself only because he improved his stature of being there among the other presidential candidates and reminding them on

Speaker 166 what his strong points are.

Speaker 170 And his strong points are belief in tomorrow, and he he has evidence to back that up and

Speaker 51 a strong defender of America in a very positive sort of way.

Speaker 95 But he's not revolutionary enough for the times and he's also

Speaker 38 I don't think he's he's ready to be president yet. But I think he helped himself a little bit.

Speaker 165 Asa Hutchinson.

Speaker 5 Asa Hutchinson, suboptimal was the word I use to describe the Asa Hutchinson performance.

Speaker 150 Does that go far enough?

Speaker 5 It may be a little understated. That was, look, Asa Hutchinson was already really out of step with the Republican voters.
He is at 0 or 1% in almost every poll.

Speaker 5 So I think you can defend his appearance there, right? Like there are other people who, you know, like Will Hurd didn't show up. I don't know if he was invited, but like he's in the race.
He's at 0%.

Speaker 5 Why wouldn't you go there and try to do something and move the needle?

Speaker 5 You know, if you're, I don't know, Doug Bergum or there's a bunch of these guys that are in the race that didn't show or I don't know, maybe they weren't invited,

Speaker 5 but are really at the bottom of the scale and didn't wind up doing this. Asa Hutchinson showed up.
He made his case. His case is just one that the Republican voters don't like.

Speaker 5 They really do think that the transgendering of children and irreversible surgeries and all that stuff is a problem.

Speaker 5 Asa was like, it didn't seem to think it was a problem. He's very out of step.

Speaker 5 And I think when people really realized that and saw it in front of them, it was, as you pointed out, a very Hindenburg-like event.

Speaker 61 Where yeah, I was just going to say,

Speaker 48 let me describe it by playing Cut 17.

Speaker 113 This Asa Hutchinson, listen.

Speaker 160 It bursts under flesh. Get this Cody.
Get this Cody. It's fighting.
And it's crashing. It's driving terrible.
Oh my, get out of the way, please.

Speaker 160 It's burning, bursting into flames, and it's falling on the morning fast. And all the folks believe that this is terrible.
This is one of the worst catastrophes in the world.

Speaker 118 Oh, it seems

Speaker 160 the space of the 20, oh, four or five hundred feet into the sky.

Speaker 160 And it's a terrific trace, ladies and gentlemen, the smoke and the flames now, and the famous crisis to the ground, not quite to the morning mass.

Speaker 161 All the humanity.

Speaker 12 It was bad. Now, luckily, nobody was hurt except those who were trying to finance his campaign.

Speaker 113 They're in serious condition today.

Speaker 167 Then we go to Mike Pence and Mike Pence should have done very well.

Speaker 143 This is a group of religious people

Speaker 127 and it's,

Speaker 37 you know, it's a religious group holding their conference.

Speaker 67 We want to hear from you.

Speaker 113 This is Mike Pence's,

Speaker 165 this is his,

Speaker 89 these are his people.

Speaker 5 Yeah. And of course, he definitely should have been there.
These are his people. And, you know,

Speaker 5 there was a back and forth about religious freedom with Tucker Carlson, in which Tucker Carlson was talking about some persecuted people, religious people

Speaker 5 in Ukraine that had been allegedly persecuted by the government of Ukraine.

Speaker 5 The disagreement there was stark because Tucker kept coming after him on this, and Pence basically said he talked to people, or he said he talked to a person on the ground in Ukraine who said it wasn't happening, so he wasn't basically concerned about it.

Speaker 5 You know, there has been reporting on this, you know, of course, a war zone. It's always hard to know exactly what's going going on, but that was uncomfortable.

Speaker 5 And then it went to the actual Ukraine war, where Pence is pretty hawkish.

Speaker 5 And

Speaker 5 that part of it, most of it I thought was interesting because Pence didn't back down. They sort of had a disagreement.

Speaker 45 He didn't try to

Speaker 5 worm his way out of it. He stood up and basically said, yeah, I'm a real hawk on Ukraine.
This is very much in our interest. We should be spending this money.
We should be doing more. And

Speaker 5 it felt like something that may have happened 10 years ago in a Republican debate

Speaker 5 where Tucker was pushing him from the other side. They went back and forth.

Speaker 5 At one point, he had a real gaffe, which Tucker was talking about: you know, hey, American cities are aflames here, in flames here, and you're worried about Ukraine. Why?

Speaker 5 And he said, that's not my concern. We played the clip earlier at the cut 17.

Speaker 119 Cut 17, please.

Speaker 106 Cut 17.

Speaker 52 Our economy has degraded. The suicide rate has jumped.
Public filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased. And yet, your concern is that the Ukrainian,

Speaker 52 a country most people can't find on a map, who've received tens of billions of U.S. tax dollars, don't have enough tanks.
I think it's a fair question to ask.

Speaker 52 Like, where's the concern for the United States in that?

Speaker 100 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 139 Cut 17, please.

Speaker 161 And it's pricing.

Speaker 118 It's pricing terrible.

Speaker 161 Oh, my, Get out of the way. Okay, stop.

Speaker 5 Because he responded to that question as, that's not my concern.

Speaker 5 And it sounded like he wasn't concerned for American cities. If you listen to the context of his answer, it's quite clear that's not exactly what he meant.

Speaker 5 But I mean, like Kamala Harris saying the population thing. You can't make mistakes like that.
So that was a catastrophe for Pence, I thought.

Speaker 171 Okay, so Nikki Haley.

Speaker 61 Nikki Haley is about what I expected.

Speaker 12 I thought she was kind of neutral. The problem with Nikki Haley is he sounds like the candidate that would have been great in 2012.

Speaker 118 She was,

Speaker 139 and she didn't, to be fair, she didn't get a chance to talk about foreign policy, which is the one thing I would have wanted her to talk about.

Speaker 75 But

Speaker 69 she talked about,

Speaker 52 you know,

Speaker 90 pretty much everything else, I thought, except for that, which I thought was an odd choice, but for Tucker.

Speaker 136 But

Speaker 167 she just sounded

Speaker 70 out of touch with what we're we're truly facing today.

Speaker 156 Do you think that's too harsh?

Speaker 5 It wasn't the sense I got. Now, to be fair,

Speaker 5 we had just seen Mike Pence, Asa Hutchinson, and Tim Scott. And Tim, as we said, Tim Scott, I thought, was okay, you know.

Speaker 5 But then we had two sort of catastrophes in a row with Asa Hutchinson and Pence. So then it came out to Haley.

Speaker 5 I thought certainly, maybe it was a low hurdle to clear at the time, but I thought she did pretty well, actually.

Speaker 5 And I do think a big part of that was Tucker's choice in not really questioning her on Ukraine. Now, again, she has a pretty standard 2012 view of that view situation.

Speaker 5 She's relatively hawkish, but they didn't get into that topic at all.

Speaker 5 And they didn't get into the topic about the Disney situation where she was talking about, hey, I want to invite Disney to South Carolina.

Speaker 5 Those are the two things I thought she was sort of vulnerable on. Because they didn't go in those directions.
I thought she handled herself really well, actually.

Speaker 5 I thought she helped herself, generally speaking.

Speaker 5 It wasn't a breakout performance, but I thought it was a helpful performance for her candidacy.

Speaker 148 Yeah, you might say that.

Speaker 12 The only reason why I said it was neutral is because that's what I expected her to do.

Speaker 143 She's a good candidate.

Speaker 5 And Tim Scott is too.

Speaker 143 They're both good candidates. Yeah.

Speaker 5 And I thought they were, I grouped them together. I thought they were right around the same area.
Maybe Haley a little bit better.

Speaker 5 You thought maybe Scott was a little bit better, but I thought they were right around the same area there.

Speaker 95 So Vivek was the first time that I saw a, and maybe not this time, but maybe next time,

Speaker 12 a future president of the United States.

Speaker 95 And maybe this time.

Speaker 167 I mean, he's growing rapidly

Speaker 106 in stature.

Speaker 143 You know, I would expect somebody like Vivek generally to do, you know, 1%

Speaker 106 the first time he's out.

Speaker 59 He's not.

Speaker 152 He's doing fairly well in the polling.

Speaker 90 In some polls, one poll has him up to 10%.

Speaker 122 Let's see how those hold and let's see what really happens.

Speaker 36 But

Speaker 67 he was young, energetic, really buttoned up on all of the issues,

Speaker 21 very, very clean

Speaker 59 as far as his messages.

Speaker 61 There wasn't a lot of political speak and gobbledygook.

Speaker 38 I thought he just delivered it.

Speaker 135 He's good at this, Glenn.

Speaker 5 He's good at this.

Speaker 5 He's good at doing this. And if you don't, what you didn't see on stage or in the interview that Glenn did with Vivek right after

Speaker 5 his performance in the Tucker interview, he's also backstage working the crowd. He knows how to do this.

Speaker 143 He's good at it.

Speaker 5 He was a good communicator before he started running for president, and he's fit into this role really well.

Speaker 5 I think for a lot of people who probably had never seen him before or didn't know anything about him, if that was your first experience with him, you're probably pretty impressed. The guy,

Speaker 5 take out his policies, which some of you might like, some of it you don't. We're just talking about performance here, and I think quite clearly he he had one of the best performances of the weekend.

Speaker 5 He's the type of person that is, I think, is breaking out as a candidate. He's having a moment.
And we all knew it wasn't going to be a two-person race.

Speaker 5 We all knew at some point someone in that other group was going to have a moment. And it seems like this is the beginning of Viveks now.

Speaker 79 So we'll keep our eye on him.

Speaker 12 The other thing is, you should know that he got, I think he was the first of the day to get the standing ovation.

Speaker 93 And

Speaker 44 he's a Hindu, and this was an evangelical gathering.

Speaker 95 He made quite an impression on these people. All right, back in just a second.

Speaker 90 You laugh, but

Speaker 61 unfortunately, that's a big deal.

Speaker 5 No, I thought it was interesting his answer to that. We should come back and talk about his, when you asked him directly about that after the event, it was interesting.

Speaker 45 Yes, I thought it was really good.

Speaker 90 And then we'll get to Ron DeSantis and his performance in just a second.

Speaker 5 I get so many headaches every month.

Speaker 178 It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

Speaker 179 Botox, autobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month.
Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.

Speaker 179 Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

Speaker 179 Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Speaker 179 Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection side pain, fatigue, and headache.

Speaker 179 Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

Speaker 179 Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and and medications including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Speaker 178 Why wait? Ask your doctor. Visit BotoxchronicMigraine.com or call 1-800-44-BOTOX to learn more.

Speaker 136 This is the Glenn Beck program talking about Vivek Ramaswamy.

Speaker 167 He said to me when I said, you know, you were standing in front of a bunch of evangelicals.

Speaker 12 How do you think you did?

Speaker 37 And he said, you know, I'm hoping people think about it.

Speaker 21 I was raised Christian in Christian schools.

Speaker 113 He said, My family was Hindu, and he said, But we have the same values.

Speaker 33 We love America.

Speaker 51 We love the Ten Commandments.

Speaker 164 We have the values that created this country.

Speaker 12 He said, and that's what we need to defend.

Speaker 152 And we both believe in one God.

Speaker 98 And

Speaker 87 God can use anyone.

Speaker 61 And he said, I don't think there's anybody better to push off the idea of Christian nationalism

Speaker 162 by using somebody who will defend Christians and the nation first

Speaker 45 than a guy who isn't Christian.

Speaker 33 I thought that was brilliant.

Speaker 5 It was an interesting point. And then the last one was Ron DeSantis, who came in.
He was the last one of the three. Thought he did really well.

Speaker 77 I thought he did really well too.

Speaker 5 You know, again, people like to say he's not a good candidate. Like there's this weird thing going around that he's not.
I thought he did very well. He has obvious knowledge of the issues.

Speaker 5 He can speak about them them clearly, concisely, and with a little bit of an exclamation point here and there. And I thought he did very well.

Speaker 5 I thought he helped himself as well. He needed to do,

Speaker 5 you know, people are talking about his candidacy in decline, which is really weird because he's been around 20% for months.

Speaker 5 He hasn't been improving or closing the gap with Trump, but he hasn't, his support hasn't dwindled either. And I thought, you know, as for a first event, I thought he did very well.

Speaker 37 I thought he did very well.

Speaker 113 He's the candidate to beat,

Speaker 141 you know, behind

Speaker 153 Donald Trump.

Speaker 12 I thought he handled himself very well.

Speaker 122 He looked very, very presidential.

Speaker 12 And I think it makes a lot of sense that Donald Trump would come out and say the two guys I'm considering as my vice president would be

Speaker 128 Tim Scott from South Carolina.

Speaker 44 That would make sense.

Speaker 12 And Vivek Ramaswamy.

Speaker 147 And this is something I said a couple of weeks ago, and I think Vivek will be the nominee. If he chooses from the nominees, I think he will

Speaker 12 pick Vivek Ramaswamy as his running mate, which I think would be really exceptional.
