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

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

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

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

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

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

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

What a weekend it has been.

We got a lot to talk to you about.

Let me tell you about first Rough Greens.

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

get older and older and more and more in pain.

He is really starting to walk with a limp now.

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

But the slowdown on him has been rapid.

It is a lot later than

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

And it's just coming on fast.

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

I can't thank them enough.

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?

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

Vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, you name it.

If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in Rough Greens.

Stand up side and hold the light.

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

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

This is

the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

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

I think we narrowed things down quite a bit.

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

look at the candidates they had ever seen.

I think this is the new way.

to vet your candidates.

It was really, really good.

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.

But it was fascinating to watch.

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

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

It's available now at Blaze TV.

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

But I want to go through some of that, and

my heart is

happy and heavy at the same time.

A personal note

coming up.

Give me 60 seconds and we begin.

So our sponsor this half hour is Relief Factor.

Gary is 71.

He's a grandfather.

Not only that, he actually

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

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

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

That might never forget this.

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

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

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.

Gary and his granddaughter, they got their lives back.

Three-week quick start now, only $19.95.

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

Feel the difference.

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

something that is really heavy on my heart

and going to happen in the next hour.

And

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.

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

that happen in North North Richland Hills

in Texas just outside of Dallas

and

they were my wife and I going down to

this little town called North Richland Hills

and

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

who had found herself pregnant and

she wanted to have the baby, but

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

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

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

And

what's amazing is

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

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

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

And

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

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

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

She said, come home.

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.

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

Anyway,

so

about two years before, I said,

I think we're supposed to adopt.

Because in my prayer, I heard,

adopt

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

and

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

adopt

and so when I told Tanya she said no

I want to have a child.

And

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

I'm on your side, God.

She's crazy.

And I heard in my prayers,

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

The week we talked about it on the air

is the week.

that that baby boy rushed to us.

And

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

And he was

always

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

And he sees how people treat

leaders that they disagree with.

And

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.

I'm not going to be a leader.

I'm not going to be a leader.

No, I'm not a leader of men.

I don't want that.

He wanted to be Aaron,

not Moses.

And

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

Fast forward

three years ago,

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

And

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

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

And Rafe said,

okay,

now we have, you know me.

I mean, yes, I'm Mr.

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

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

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

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

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

I don't know.

But

my son tried out in Texas for football.

And

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

back,

come in.

And he looked at him seriously and he said,

have you ever even watched this game before?

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

I haven't.

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

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

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

But he worked and worked and worked and worked and worked.

And he became the head of special teams.

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

But

he was the head of special teams.

And

they...

went all the way to the championship.

They lost.

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.

And he took the loss,

and that was his senior year.

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

And I said, oh,

you know, maybe Texas AM.

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

And I want to play in the NFL.

Okay, all right.

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

I'm 13 years old.

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

And I want to be on the radio.

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

Oh, okay, all right.

And what did my dad say?

Well, do you need a ride?

Yeah, dad, because I can't drive.

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

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

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

This isn't going to work out.

But he took me.

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

And I got a job at 15 years old

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

And my dad would drive me

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

So, what am I going to say?

You'll never make it, son.

You'll never make it.

So,

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

After the

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

I took my son to a university

where he had been talking to a coach,

friend of a friend of a friend,

talking to this coach.

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

And he says, Dad, they want to meet me.

And they're thinking about making me

a coach for

as the offensive coordinator.

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

And I, and I said, oh,

huh, that's,

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

And he said, are you kidding me?

You think I'm stupid?

Of course I did.

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

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

And I said, Okay.

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

And I watched my son

become a man.

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

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.

But

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

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

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

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

And

thought of my dad,

how great it is to have been raised

by a man

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

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

you can do whatever you set your mind to.

So, my son

is

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

and will be hitting the road

to be coach back

you have been there

many have been here

when you heard that Tanya and I were

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

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

You've heard

probably more of the struggles than the

good things, especially in the last couple of years.

I thought it was only right

today

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

or if you're still struggling to have a baby

There is nothing you will do in your life

that is worth more than raising a child.

There is nothing harder, there is nothing more heartbreaking,

and there is nothing more glorious.

I thought you should know

that that little baby we adopted

today has become a man.

Back in a minute.

All right.

Let me tell you about rough greens.

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

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

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

We're feeding Uno rough greens.

It's a supplement.

It's not a dog food.

It was developed by

naturopathic Dr.

Dennis Black.

And you sprinkle it on your dog's food.

And

Uno,

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

Uno would never eat before, just never did it.

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

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

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

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

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

Alrighty.

Hello, Stu.

Welcome to the program.

How are you, man?

Good.

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

It doesn't get easier.

I can't imagine it.

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

Yeah, it never stops being great.

Never stops being great.

No, seriously, it doesn't.

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

It's worth every second worth every second.

And you know, when

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.

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

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

Just nothing that makes you feel better.

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

really a meteoric rise

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

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.

Wow.

There's snacks.

You were around that area of the house.

Yeah, snacks.

You gave him no guidance in this field whatsoever.

None.

None.

Still don't.

Still don't.

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

what's his name in Washington, Stu.

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

Joe Theisman.

I worked with Warren Moon

and

Andy Reed

and

somebody else.

And I have all these footballs someplace.

And he's like,

what?

You work?

What did you, wait, what?

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

I don't know anything really about them.

I mean, I know them, but

I knew nothing about football.

And he's like, oh, my gosh.

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

What was the one in San Francisco?

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

And we didn't even stay.

We didn't even stay.

And

he met Al, not Al Michaels.

Was it Al Michaels?

He met

Dungy.

Gosh, I don't even know.

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

And he was like, he has pictures.

And he's like, look at me.

I'm looking away.

I'm not even, I don't, what was wrong with me?

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

The coach said, yeah, why?

He said, look at my dad.

He's probably got 15 more years in him.

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

Alrighty.

Let's see.

I want to talk to you about

Mantis X.

Mantis X

has kept me

being a pretty good shot.

I mean, I couldn't believe it.

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

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

That was

remarkable for me,

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

That is something it perishes.

It's perishable.

It just goes away.

Mantis X is an easy-to-use system.

It's widely used by the military now.

It started out, I think, with the Marines.

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

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

When you pull, are you drifting?

And it corrects it after every shot.

It's amazing.

You'll get really good.

Welcome to the Glenn Back program.

We're super glad you're here.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for being a Blaze TV subscriber.

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

10 million people watched the summit.

And I really think that we are,

I think

mainstream media should be a little concerned.

And it was all thanks to you.

Thank you so much.

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.

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

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

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

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

Oh my gosh.

We played some of that this morning.

Ooh.

Did he go up in flames or what?

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

That's what it was like.

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

Yeah, it's good.

Here it is, cut one.

I mean, this is a permanent change we are making to a child.

Why would we allow that if we don't allow surgery?

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Well, you have

to.

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

I know that.

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

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

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

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

protecting the border.

Listen to this.

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.

What am I missing?

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.

How about when 7 million people come in?

Is that the point?

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.

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...

May I ask you a positive?

Are those responsibilities more important than protecting our own borders?

I'm going to finish my answer first.

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

And they're not trained in traditional law enforcement responsibilities, so it's a different mission.

We utilize the National Guard, but our

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

Now go ahead.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

And I think that's important.

Well,

let me

feel

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

Jeez.

Please don't, man.

Please play

the cut where I describe it as the Hindenburg.

Right out of this, i said this

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

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.

Oh, the humanity.

Is it too soon?

It's too soon.

That is too soon.

No, it's not.

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

Oh, the humanity.

That happened with Mike Pence as well.

Yeah.

Yeah, Pence.

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

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

Okay, do you have it?

Do you have it, Stu?

I think I'm going to do it.

I do.

Hang on, Marilyn.

Stuff.

The economy has degraded.

Here it is.

The suicide rate has jumped.

Public filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased.

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.

I think it's a fair question to ask.

Like, where's the concern for the United States in that?

Well, it's not my concern.

What?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

We will support our military.

We will revive our economy and stand by our values.

And we will also lead the world for freedom.

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

weekend.

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.

Yeah, I am going to work on the border.

I am going to work on cities.

I don't know what he was saying.

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

sound.

He also was booed.

Yeah.

He was booed on stage.

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

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.

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.

And like,

they weren't like that at all.

Which is great.

And even the moment you're talking about was

a groan, you know, maybe.

It certainly wasn't the booze that we've seen at other political events.

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.

It wasn't a political celebration.

It was like a real event where they were like trying to understand the differences.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Ah, that's unbelievable.

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

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

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

talk about the war thing.

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

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

And I think he's right.

I think he's right.

It was shocking shocking to me

how this group of what you would say are traditional Republicans

viewed the war in Ukraine.

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

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

I don't think she did well.

Mike Pence didn't do well.

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

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

and they came at the end.

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

He was really good.

I love him.

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

He's well-spoken.

He's really smart.

He's smooth as silk.

He's everything you wanted Ted Cruz to be in 2016, but wasn't.

Yes.

Yes.

So.

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.

And then Trump actually mentioned him as a candidate.

He's performed really well.

He has.

Really well.

Yeah.

So, I mean, and Trump hates Ron DeSantis.

So, you know, that's out.

And the other ones are losers.

So who would it be?

It'd be Vivek.

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

Tim Scott could mention Tim Scott as well.

Yeah, maybe Scott Scott as well.

Tim Scott, yeah.

All right, more in a minute.

Thank you, Pat.

You don't want to wait till somebody steals your personal identification and identity to start protecting yourself from it.

Most likely it's already out on the dark web.

It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft affects our lives.

So when is the last time you checked the legal title to your home?

Never has it been

never.

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.

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.

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

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.

The new buyer wasn't part of the crime.

They thought they were just buying the home legally.

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

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.

The instant they detect activity or tampering against your home's title, they can shut it down.

So, you need to verify that you first aren't already a victim to this.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're just talking about

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

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,

anybody who said that they were for more war

didn't do well, didn't do well.

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.

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

you're even more war.

So

why is he up 30 points?

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.

You know, this is the type of stuff that

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

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

Not with Trump, though.

Right.

So what's the difference?

What magical power does he have?

It is the difference between Mike Pence is weak.

He's not seen as a wartime president.

None of them are wartime candidates,

I don't think.

Trump is seen as a wartime president.

Biden is definitely not.

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.

I'm going to turn the war machine on

and I don't have a problem.

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

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

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

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

And I think that the

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

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

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

And so you would want to,

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

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

You're going to send those

people back.

All of that ended with Reagan coming in.

So

I think it's different in a way.

for Donald Trump to say that than anybody else.

I think it holds credibility of negotiation

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

I wouldn't be.

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

You're killing yourself.

I want to talk to you about something called COIN.

Coin is a new credit card.

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.

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

And you don't know it.

So you're funding all of this stuff.

Welcome to a parallel economy.

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

is America's only conservative credit card.

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.

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

I love what he is doing.

It is absolutely essential.

Bring back the America we want to see.

We have to put our money where our mouths are.

Stand up, stand, and hold the light.

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

What you're about to hear

is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glen Back Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

So glad that you are here.

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

Tucker Carlson was hosting this.

It's an amazing thing.

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.

No network would cover this, but we did.

And 10 million viewers later,

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

It was awesome and game-changing.

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

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

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

We do that in 60 seconds.

So, you know who you are.

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

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.

I know I was just like you.

I was stubborn.

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

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

Even more scared that it will.

Today is the day.

Give Relief Factor a try.

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

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

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

workshop with some of the best painters in America today.

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

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

Painters.

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

would like help with.

And I painted or I drew these yesterday.

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

I drew these in my notebook.

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

My hands would have cramped up.

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

And

nothing changed it.

Nothing changed it.

Relief Factor has.

Relief Factor.

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

1995 three-week quick start.

Just try it for three weeks.

If it's not working for you in three weeks, probably won't.

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

800, the number 4 relief.

Relief Factor.

Feel the difference.

All right.

So

I got to tell you, the press is so

out of.

touch.

This is from the New York Times.

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

Jesus is out.

Vladimir Putin is in.

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

at the summit Friday, Stu?

Anyone?

Of course not.

No, I did not hear that.

Right.

Right.

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

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

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

We're the good guys.

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

No.

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

for President Putin, which it wasn't.

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.

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

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.

He's like,

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

I'm an Episcopalian.

I mean,

we don't use that.

And he said, so I started reading it.

He said,

I just had the feeling a few months ago that I should start reading it.

He said, so I finished the New Testament.

And he said, that's amazing.

The way he was telling it is so funny.

When you, somebody who has actually, actually

read it and is interested in reading it,

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

It's such a great story.

Why are we hiding this?

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

also fun, but he's actually enjoying it.

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

God is using him.

There is something

different about Tucker Carlson.

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

We didn't really know each other.

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.

That has changed.

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

He started really listening to me.

And we heard

the

core principles.

behind what we believe.

And

God is using him.

He has moved on him greatly.

Please add Tucker to your prayers.

Something really good is going to come of

what Tucker is doing, I think.

He gets it unlike,

let's say

I met with four people

in the last

three weeks.

And I've met probably 15,000 people.

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

get it.

They know it from all of its angles.

Tucker is one of them.

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

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

That's something that I would ask.

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

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

of that as a presidential candidate.

So I asked Tucker on this.

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

You said something that I absolutely believe,

and it is crazy to say it now.

I think we absolutely blew up the Nord Stream pipeline.

Of course we did.

Yeah.

Absolutely did.

Well, yeah.

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.

You should build things, not destroy them.

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.

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.

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.

Can you say that?

I just did.

Well, no, but I.

I mean, I'm unemployed.

I can do whatever I want.

I mean, as a,

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

that Russia has not retaliated.

This is the biggest, this is the worst act of war I have ever seen us make, right?

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

It's all of it.

It really is.

Like, I'm God.

I can do whatever I want.

There are no consequences.

The rules don't apply to me.

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

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

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.

I talked to him about the media, you know,

completely determined to suppress the truth.

Listen.

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.

They're just

kyping away, doing their thing, reading a prompter.

Nobody is actually,

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

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.

They don't do that.

And that shocked me.

Shocked me.

But then you have to wonder why.

So it's like

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

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.

Well, they say that every

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

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?

The media are completely determined to suppress the truth.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

Every morning.

And so I put my pants on, I shuffled downstairs and got coffee.

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,

they're good with people.

That's why they're in this business.

So I like all of them.

But no,

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.

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

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.

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

And then people are like, oh, you're so mean, really?

You're trying to run my country.

Yeah.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

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?

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?

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

You can watch it.

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

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

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

Listen to this.

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

It did.

It did.

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?

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.

No freedom, nobody, nobody has to defend my right to say, chocolate's delicious.

Yeah.

Okay.

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

I stand, I was

when Bill Maher said, you know, I think the

Saudi or the hijackers were brave, braver than our

fire pilots.

I disagreed with that 100%.

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

Make sure you go to blaze mediasummit.com.

Blazemediasummit.com.

You can see the whole summit.

It is so well worth it when you're watching.

If you're if you're looking for the right candidate, I think this is the best format I've ever seen.

And

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

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

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?

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.

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.

But I'm a professional.

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

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

So reading

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

or

to say the least.

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

Just absolutely everything on the way these things are done.

We've always gone to mainstream media.

This isn't mainstream media.

And the difference was remarkable.

Would you agree with that, Stu?

Oh my God.

Yes, 100%.

It was a totally different experience.

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.

Like it, it was like you got to see

people pressed on not the differences between

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.

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.

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

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

are not fans of the status quo.

You know,

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

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

And I thought it was fantastic.

Let me give you some comments.

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

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

Bravo to all who made it possible.

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

The Fox News Matrix is broken.

The energy shift in the GOP has been tectonic.

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

Bravo Blaze TV.

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.

It should not be lost here.

This is an epic media revenge arc story.

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

Let's see.

The Blaze put on a masterclass on how to defeat the mainstream media by becoming more powerful than them.

Incredible performance by the entire Blaze team.

Anyway, it goes on and on and on.

It is really, truly remarkable.

Listen to this email.

How much time do I have, Sarah?

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

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

In between gas stops, I glanced at Twitter.

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

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

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

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

All right, Heather.

Our sponsor is,

who is it, Sarah?

Oh, it's real estate agents.

I love those guys.

You know the guy who started that thing?

He is.

He's a genius.

He really is.

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

I think it's two.

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

He's from New Jersey.

John is a former Marine.

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

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

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

He serves as deputy mayor and as a town committeeman.

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

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

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

These agents work their tail off for you.

You want somebody like John working for you to help sell your house and get into the new house?

Stu,

just thought we should say goodbye to

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

And I guess I will see you at college.

This will be the last time I see you.

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

Okay.

All right.

He's just been

brought on as an

assistant to the offensive coordinator.

Yeah,

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

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.

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

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

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

I mean, like

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

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

No, I think it's grandpa.

I have thrown a ball, but not very well,

if that's what you want to call it.

But no, yeah,

it's definitely interesting because, I mean, we're just not very sporty.

You know, just more of the arts and whatnot.

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.

Yeah.

And yet

it's happening.

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

Remember, I talked to you when he was young.

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

there's not a chance.

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

no i've had 59

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.

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

Well, you know what?

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

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

you know,

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

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

look at almost everything and could do almost anything.

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

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,

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

Yeah, that's a good thing.

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

personally.

Yeah.

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

Oh, I'm freaking out.

Oh, are you?

What got you through that to a point to where now

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

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,

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.

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.

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

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

No, I said I wanted to be Sam from the Book of Mormon.

I never

wanted to be Nephi.

And is that still on?

And

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

With you, yeah.

Yeah.

And

let me ask you,

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

I guess kind of, just a little bit.

I can't hear him.

Go ahead.

Lost his mic.

I guess kind of, but it's,

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.

I love working with people.

I don't see it as leading people.

I see it as helping others and helping those around me.

You're going to do well, my son.

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

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

I love you.

I love you.

See you, buddy.

It's weird.

Sorry doing that on the air here, but

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

Um

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Then came the layoffs.

Then came the shuttered businesses.

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

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

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

I spoke to them.

The media should be terrified.

The mainstream media is over.

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

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

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

And

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

people know what Fox is now.

And

it's hit a tipping point.

This is really, really good for America.

Really good for America.

Because I think you got an honest debate.

Yeah, I mean,

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

version, a hawkish defense, if you will.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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

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

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

What does he read to his children?

I didn't care about any of that.

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

DeSantis to come on.

And

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.

I said, how are you going to do that?

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

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

So I'm a unique combination.

I like to brag a lot.

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

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

The U.S.

President already has statutory authority.

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

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

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

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

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

Holy cow is that strong.

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.

He said,

I'm considering Tim Scott or Vivek.

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

Yeah.

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

It's interesting, too.

One thing strategically from him that you're not seeing from a lot of the other candidates is boldness.

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

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,

to conservatives that really follow this stuff, he had some

notoriety.

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

where he was.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

It's Pre-Born.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

This is what is moving the needle tremendously.

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.

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

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

Or your grandkids,

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

It helped save many lives and it turned the tables.

It turned the tide.

One ultrasound is $28.

Dial pound250, say the keyword baby.

Pound250, keyword baby.

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

And that means the moms, too.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We don't want you to forget, pick up my new book, Dark Future.

It is at bookstores everywhere.

It is a tremendous look at the future.

It was interesting to me.

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

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.

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

Dark future available wherever you buy your books or you can go to Glenn'snewBook.com.

Well,

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.

Here she is.

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

wait wait

reduce pop

who is talking about reducing pop

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

ourselves.

Being made in America meant high quality.

I personally think that's coming back in style.

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

American Giant is one of them.

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

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

10 years later.

later today, they make the best hoodie you'll ever own.

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.

American Giant.

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

You picked the right place.

American Giant.

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

Martha listens to her favorite band all the time.

In the car,

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.

Sort of.

You were made to scream from the front row.

We were made to quietly save you more.

Expedia, made to travel.

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

Stand up standing, hold the life.

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

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

This is

the Glen Beck Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

I want to just touch base on something quickly.

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

And maybe it was.

But it was an important mistake from Kabbalah Harris.

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

Listen.

Cut nine.

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

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

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

However, let's put into perspective as well, she's talking about the Inflation Reduction Act.

So she's talking about spending more

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

No, that whole thing was a lie.

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

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

It is Goldline.

Great article in their weekly news section.

By the way, go to their weekend review.

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

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

Expect more pain to come.

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.

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

What?

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

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.

That's what's happening.

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

Give the folks over at Goldline a chance to find out

how to protect your money using precious metals.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

And again,

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.

And that is probably true.

So listen to this.

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

Okay.

I think you could make the case

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.

And I say that because

only a moron would think that you could cut out

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

fertilizer

and expect people not to starve.

I'm telling you, billions,

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

Now add energy.

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,

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

It's true.

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

pollution,

but when she said reduce population,

that also

does reduce all of our CO2s.

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

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

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.

Mark Scage, he worked for AFD Petroleum.

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

He pulled over, hopped out of his vehicle.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

He knew what he was doing was against the law.

I just couldn't do it in my heart.

People can say all they want.

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

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

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.

So, it's against the law.

It's against the law.

Hmm.

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

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

You want to make sure there's no overpopulation.

Now,

they care deeply about the bear

and they care deeply about the balance.

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

Also, from Canada, Toronto.

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.

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

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

Every day is hell, she says.

I'm so tired.

I'm done.

I've tried everything.

I feel like I've lived my life.

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.

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.

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

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.

Proponents of assisted death,

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

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,

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

So are we reducing the population?

We're not.

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

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

Why?

Because

the ranchers, the rangers, they know,

even if it is compassionate,

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

It must.

The survival of the fittest is important.

Isn't that the same with MAID?

The survival of the fittest?

Except this time it's done with compassion.

Look, they can't make their way.

They're unhappy.

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

shouldn't we just help them along

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

and I read them this way

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

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.

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.

They can't manage the farm

from Moscow

because they're not even anywhere close to it.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

That's why you have a blood test.

We've got to make sure.

Technology is just catching up with this insane eugenics idea.

So I just never saw it coming.

But now that I know,

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

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

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.

But when I see that

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

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

I wonder if

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

Back in just a minute.

Our sponsor,

this half hour is Tunnel for Towers.

These people are absolutely the best.

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

Look, charity is a very personal thing,

and

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.

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

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

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

It's some insanely high percentage,

goes to who they say they're serving.

And those are the heroes.

Those are the heroes of the police department.

Those are the heroes of the fire department.

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

They take care of the heroes.

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

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

And they take away the mortgage.

They give them the mortgage and pick it up themselves.

Can you help do this?

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

And thanks to supporters like you,

they're on a mission.

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

Donate to tunneltotowers at t2t.org.

That's t, the number2t.org.

Tunnel to towers.

10 seconds, station ID.

Why don't you take it here, Stu?

You take it, something.

I got it if you don't.

All right.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We've talked a lot about

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

You'll save $30 off your year's subscription.

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.

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

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.

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

he seems to just like his life and existence.

He does.

Yeah, it's not the way he's portrayed in the media.

He's portrayed as this dower.

He's very likable.

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

If your family

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

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

And I immediately thought,

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

That's

a lot to learn there from that particular situation.

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

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.

I hasten

to say that about Asa Hutchinson because I just, you know, I...

What are you sinking?

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

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

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.

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

That's what the media will ask people about.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

And,

well, with an exception of me with Asa,

we don't.

I mean, I questioned before he got on stage,

why is this man here?

Anybody see his picture on a milk carton?

Here he is.

You should come pick him up.

Because I don't know why he's.

He hadn't been seen for a while.

And probably for good reason.

At least he showed up, though.

He took his swing.

Yeah, he did.

He took his shot, and it didn't work, and that happens.

It's hard to become president of the United States.

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.

Yes.

So let me ask you, Stu.

I saw two candidates without naming names.

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

That's somebody ready to be president.

How many did you see?

Yeah, I'd say two.

I might.

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

You know, I think there was two catastrophes.

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

all you can hope for.

But

there were two that I think got a standing ovation

and

they were well deserved.

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

The Glenn Back Program.

Friends, I want you to switch.

I want you to switch right now.

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

Bobby, why are you wearing a dress?

I'm not talking about that kind of switching.

Oh, no, friends, I'm talking of switching to Patriot Mobile.

Patriot Mobile, they don't

cross any of those lines or cross dress.

They are they're all binary.

They're cisgender.

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.

Huh?

Can I get an amen?

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

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

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

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

I mean, they did something, honestly.

We said to them, We're one mixing board short.

Could we borrow one?

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

Take it.

I mean, they were really amazing, and we couldn't have done it without them.

So thank you, Nelco Media.

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

And

it is something that has happened in Iowa.

all the time.

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

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

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

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

We left, went our separate ways shortly after the

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

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

And

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

Sure.

We started with Asa Hutchinson.

I think we can.

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

Let's start with Tim Scott.

He was the first one.

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

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

Large margin.

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

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

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.

You know,

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

he has sort of a quirky energy to him.

Like, he, I think some people really like it.

It shows a lot of optimism.

He has that sort of,

I don't know, that vibe, right?

Like

he's not flustered by stuff.

He defended himself and defended his viewpoints.

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

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

a little odd.

He was the first one to go.

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.

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.

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

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

what his strong points are.

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

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

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

I don't think he's he's ready to be president yet.

But I think he helped himself a little bit.

Asa Hutchinson.

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

Does that go far enough?

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.

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%.

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

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,

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.

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

Asa was like, it didn't seem to think it was a problem.

He's very out of step.

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.

Where yeah, I was just going to say,

let me describe it by playing Cut 17.

This Asa Hutchinson, listen.

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.

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.

Oh, it seems

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

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.

All the humanity.

It was bad.

Now, luckily, nobody was hurt except those who were trying to finance his campaign.

They're in serious condition today.

Then we go to Mike Pence and Mike Pence should have done very well.

This is a group of religious people

and it's,

you know, it's a religious group holding their conference.

We want to hear from you.

This is Mike Pence's,

this is his,

these are his people.

Yeah.

And of course, he definitely should have been there.

These are his people.

And, you know,

there was a back and forth about religious freedom with Tucker Carlson, in which Tucker Carlson was talking about some persecuted people, religious people

in Ukraine that had been allegedly persecuted by the government of Ukraine.

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.

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.

And then it went to the actual Ukraine war, where Pence is pretty hawkish.

And

that part of it, most of it I thought was interesting because Pence didn't back down.

They sort of had a disagreement.

He didn't try to

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

it felt like something that may have happened 10 years ago in a Republican debate

where Tucker was pushing him from the other side.

They went back and forth.

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?

And he said, that's not my concern.

We played the clip earlier at the cut 17.

Cut 17, please.

Cut 17.

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,

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.

Like, where's the concern for the United States in that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cut 17, please.

And it's pricing.

It's pricing terrible.

Oh, my, Get out of the way.

Okay, stop.

Because he responded to that question as, that's not my concern.

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.

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.

Okay, so Nikki Haley.

Nikki Haley is about what I expected.

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.

She was,

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.

But

she talked about,

you know,

pretty much everything else, I thought, except for that, which I thought was an odd choice, but for Tucker.

But

she just sounded

out of touch with what we're we're truly facing today.

Do you think that's too harsh?

It wasn't the sense I got.

Now, to be fair,

we had just seen Mike Pence, Asa Hutchinson, and Tim Scott.

And Tim, as we said, Tim Scott, I thought, was okay, you know.

But then we had two sort of catastrophes in a row with Asa Hutchinson and Pence.

So then it came out to Haley.

I thought certainly, maybe it was a low hurdle to clear at the time, but I thought she did pretty well, actually.

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.

She's relatively hawkish, but they didn't get into that topic at all.

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.

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.

I thought she helped herself, generally speaking.

It wasn't a breakout performance, but I thought it was a helpful performance for her candidacy.

Yeah, you might say that.

The only reason why I said it was neutral is because that's what I expected her to do.

She's a good candidate.

And Tim Scott is too.

They're both good candidates.

Yeah.

And I thought they were, I grouped them together.

I thought they were right around the same area.

Maybe Haley a little bit better.

You thought maybe Scott was a little bit better, but I thought they were right around the same area there.

So Vivek was the first time that I saw a, and maybe not this time, but maybe next time,

a future president of the United States.

And maybe this time.

I mean, he's growing rapidly

in stature.

You know, I would expect somebody like Vivek generally to do, you know, 1%

the first time he's out.

He's not.

He's doing fairly well in the polling.

In some polls, one poll has him up to 10%.

Let's see how those hold and let's see what really happens.

But

he was young, energetic, really buttoned up on all of the issues,

very, very clean

as far as his messages.

There wasn't a lot of political speak and gobbledygook.

I thought he just delivered it.

He's good at this, Glenn.

He's good at this.

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

his performance in the Tucker interview, he's also backstage working the crowd.

He knows how to do this.

He's good at it.

He was a good communicator before he started running for president, and he's fit into this role really well.

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,

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.

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.

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.

So we'll keep our eye on him.

The other thing is, you should know that he got, I think he was the first of the day to get the standing ovation.

And

he's a Hindu, and this was an evangelical gathering.

He made quite an impression on these people.

All right, back in just a second.

You laugh, but

unfortunately, that's a big deal.

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.

Yes, I thought it was really good.

And then we'll get to Ron DeSantis and his performance in just a second.

I get so many headaches every month.

It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

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.

Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.

Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.

Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck, and injection side pain, fatigue, and headache.

Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.

Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

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.

Why wait?

Ask your doctor.

This is the Glenn Beck program talking about Vivek Ramaswamy.

He said to me when I said, you know, you were standing in front of a bunch of evangelicals.

How do you think you did?

And he said, you know, I'm hoping people think about it.

I was raised Christian in Christian schools.

He said, My family was Hindu, and he said, But we have the same values.

We love America.

We love the Ten Commandments.

We have the values that created this country.

He said, and that's what we need to defend.

And we both believe in one God.

And

God can use anyone.

And he said, I don't think there's anybody better to push off the idea of Christian nationalism

by using somebody who will defend Christians and the nation first

than a guy who isn't Christian.

I thought that was brilliant.

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.

I thought he did really well too.

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.

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.

I thought he helped himself as well.

He needed to do,

you know, people are talking about his candidacy in decline, which is really weird because he's been around 20% for months.

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.

I thought he did very well.

He's the candidate to beat,

you know, behind

Donald Trump.

I thought he handled himself very well.

He looked very, very presidential.

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

Tim Scott from South Carolina.

That would make sense.

And Vivek Ramaswamy.

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

pick Vivek Ramaswamy as his running mate, which I think would be really exceptional.
