Speaker 17 We are headed towards real trouble.
Speaker 19 The farmers in our own country are telling us what to expect.
Speaker 18 I trust farmers.

Speaker 2 It's Halloween.
Speaker 2 Got no room but caprice.
Speaker 2 We gotta stand together, it's a door survey.
Speaker 2 Stand up straight in a whole night.
Speaker 2 It's a whole new day of time to rise.
Speaker 2 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenback program.
Speaker 34 Hello, America, and welcome to Monday.
Speaker 32 It is
Speaker 33 Halloween,
Speaker 4 and there is nothing more frightening than what the media is trying to spin with the Pelosi break-in.
Speaker 39 We begin there in 60 seconds.
Speaker 39 There it is.
Speaker 41 There it was again, peeking through the windows like a solitary, sinister eye.
Speaker 32 The full moon.
Speaker 45 Already the man could feel his clothing falling away from his body.
Speaker 42 He felt the bones beneath his skin getting longer, claws beginning to form at the edges of his fingers.
Speaker 49 His face morphing into a machine of ghastly teeth and fur.
Speaker 52 In moments, he would be a killing machine, tearing into the night like a dagger in search of blood and death.
Speaker 49 And the pain, the pain of transformation, he screamed out in agony: if there was only something,
Speaker 54 not a drug, but something that would fight the inflammation in my joints every time this happened.
Speaker 2 I need
Speaker 32 some
Speaker 32 relief!
Speaker 32 I need some.
Speaker 32 relief!
Speaker 2 Yes,
Speaker 28 Relief Factor, the three-week quickstart developed just for you at $19.99, a dollar a day, like a trial pack.
Speaker 57 Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them have gone on to order more.
Speaker 45 That says a lot.
Speaker 32 Go to ReliefFactor.com or call 800 for Relief.
Speaker 38 800 for Relief to get your $19.95 three-week quickstart developed just for you.
Speaker 14 Again, Relief Factor.
Speaker 32 Feel the difference before it's too late.
Speaker 32 Wow, that was scary.
Speaker 32 Hello, Stu.
Speaker 3 It's a pretty famous movie. It had a similar story to it.
Speaker 2 Really? Yeah.
Speaker 58 Like that testimonial?
Speaker 3 Yeah, it was pretty much that.
Speaker 59 Wow, was it an infomercial?
Speaker 3 No, I don't think American Werewolf in Paris or London ended with Relief Factor. But you needed a third one you needed it to make it a trilogy.
Speaker 21 It's weird because this story is a trilogy today.
Speaker 32 There's a trilogy.
Speaker 2
Good. Yeah.
Oh, thank God.
Speaker 24 We're thinking about releasing the second episode in about 20 minutes.
Speaker 2 Oh, wow.
Speaker 32
Yeah. So, all right.
So, here's what we
Speaker 9 here's a recap for what we know kind of so far.
Speaker 61 This is the things that have been reported, and I'm not sure we're sure of all of this.
Speaker 17 May 2022, Paul Pelosi was in a DUI car crash.
Speaker 37 The passenger airbag goes off,
Speaker 14 even though he was alone.
Speaker 64 We don't know why.
Speaker 8 I don't know if that's usual.
Speaker 4 He pleads guilty on the 23rd of August.
Speaker 9 On the 24th, there was some random schizo posting that started on a blog that had been dormant for 15 years.
Speaker 21 On September 8th, the, I think it's Friendly Friends site is registered in the name of DePappe.
Speaker 14 He's a hippie, but we'll get into that in a minute.
Speaker 7 On September 8th, the site is registered in his name.
Speaker 30 However, there are no posts.
Speaker 13 On October 24th, loads of posts are made on the website.
Speaker 62 While posted in October, they're titled February to make it seem like they were much older.
Speaker 30 Then on October 28th, four days later at 2.27 a.m., the police arrived at the Pelosi residence for a welfare check.
Speaker 12 Now,
Speaker 16 this is what they said at first.
Speaker 68 Someone opened the door.
Speaker 9 A third person opened the door for the police.
Speaker 22 However, they have said, no, that was a mistake.
Speaker 16 There was no other person in the house except those two.
Speaker 9 The glass door is also busted.
Speaker 21 It appears to be busted from the inside.
Speaker 20 I mean, I watched enough Colombo.
Speaker 21 Excuse me, sir.
Speaker 2 One more thing.
Speaker 51 Wouldn't the glass be on the inside of the door and not the outside of the door?
Speaker 24 But we don't know what kind of glass it was.
Speaker 69 We have no idea.
Speaker 7 Pelosi and DePape are
Speaker 22 inside in their underwear.
Speaker 7 Now, this too has been changed.
Speaker 12 Nobody was in their underwear.
Speaker 7 Now, I would ex I would exp- I mean, DePape, I I mean, Pelosi,
Speaker 21 he's, what, 85?
Speaker 5 It's 2 o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 21 I'd expect him to be in his jammies or his underpants.
Speaker 30 You know, that's not an
Speaker 12 Pape in his underpants is a little weird.
Speaker 42 But now, police say nobody in their underpants.
Speaker 44 I think if you saw either one of those two in your underpants,
Speaker 17 you would be very clear
Speaker 3 for the rest of your life. Yes.
Speaker 22 Pelosi has a hammer, and when the police arrive, DePape manages to take the hammer from Pelosi and bashes his head multiple times.
Speaker 66 All of that happens while the police are there.
Speaker 37 So while pulping Paul Pelosi, DePape repeatedly says, where's Nancy?
Speaker 16 Where's Nancy?
Speaker 21 Police take him into custody.
Speaker 24 Media and the Democrats immediately point to the Schizo blog and say, he's a far-right terrorist.
Speaker 30 Street view images from DePape's home show BLM signs and a Bernie sign.
Speaker 4 The home is referred to by a neighbor as a hippie collective.
Speaker 72 In fact, we have audio from a neighbor who
Speaker 25 is quite clear
Speaker 58 on
Speaker 48 who this guy was.
Speaker 2 Cut one.
Speaker 1
Our vehicle was out of commission. I was walking past and Gypsy's son was with a small little girl, and he was on the bus.
And the little girl and Gypsy's son.
Speaker 16 Stop for a second, please.
Speaker 21 We're going to take this piece by piece.
Speaker 48 His little girl, I'm sorry, his little boy, who was dressed as a girl, was on the bus.
Speaker 16 I just want to just keep track of all of the things that you're like, oh, you're clearly, clearly a conservative.
Speaker 32 All right, go ahead.
Speaker 1 And the little girl and Gypsy's son were walking away away from the bus and the guy remained on the bus. And that's when I recognized his face.
Speaker 1 That's the only time I ever saw his face was within like the last month or so.
Speaker 74 Or a couple weeks.
Speaker 76 Do you know
Speaker 76 how long he stayed during that a couple months ago?
Speaker 1
No. No, we try to just avoid them at all costs.
Okay. Until they, you know, bother us.
Speaker 76 Okay, but so the last time you saw him was a couple weeks ago.
Speaker 74 Yeah.
Speaker 76 And he was here for a few days?
Speaker 73 Yes. Okay.
Speaker 74 Anything strange about him or anything that stood up?
Speaker 1 There's something strange about the whole household.
Speaker 74 The entire household is very, very strange. How about him?
Speaker 1 He is birds of a feather
Speaker 1 akin to them. So they are just,
Speaker 1 you know, nudist drug abusers, and that's who gravitates toward them.
Speaker 21 Okay, stop for a second.
Speaker 77 How many times, Stu, at the GOP meetings have you been to where it's attended by all those nudists, drug users?
Speaker 3 Well, no, CPAC has that part of the
Speaker 2 nudist. The new drug user part.
Speaker 3 Yeah. Big part of their.
Speaker 3 yeah it's trouble when they get those two together right they're usually right near each other but they do try to keep them separate and these are the these these are usually the people that just to throw people off have a rainbow flag in the front yard and a BLM sign on their front window a lot of hardcore conservatives have that profile yeah you know they just
Speaker 78 that's just the way it goes yep okay go ahead next
Speaker 74 I'm sorry the children who live there seem to be underage or under 18
Speaker 1 I'm not sure how old they are
Speaker 76 What do you say their politics are?
Speaker 1 I'm not sure. I would imagine that they're more left-leaning
Speaker 1 because of their support for
Speaker 1 the gay community
Speaker 1 and for,
Speaker 1 I'm sorry, for other people, but it is
Speaker 1 now I'm not sure what way the children are.
Speaker 32 Okay, stop for a second.
Speaker 48 Look at how she is hesitating.
Speaker 11 She's calculating, Tony.
Speaker 16 She's calculating the whole time because of the the rainbow flag, okay, and the BLM sign.
Speaker 52 So it becomes the gay community
Speaker 75 and
Speaker 32 others. Right.
Speaker 3
You should need to figure out how to say it. You can't say it.
And by the way, I don't know what would you say her ethnicity is? Oh,
Speaker 3 I don't know.
Speaker 41 White, Hispanic.
Speaker 3 I mean, you wouldn't, you would, it doesn't look like
Speaker 3 the typical white Karen that's next door upset about the left.
Speaker 62 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, talks about her partner.
Speaker 24 And I think she says that pretty much everybody in the neighborhood is a lefty
Speaker 76 so yes of course that's true yeah in san francisco all right because they have the flag the lgbt flag with the hot yeah but any signs of anti-semitism
Speaker 1 you know they are completely unhinged so i wouldn't i wouldn't be surprised at all yeah uh it it they completely unhinged nothing
Speaker 1 that they believe in aligns with their actions. So they'll say that they are,
Speaker 1 you know, pro-black lives, and then they'll call the police on black people. And
Speaker 1 so
Speaker 1 they don't stand by, their actions don't stand by.
Speaker 31 Just so you know,
Speaker 32 they're not mutually exclusive.
Speaker 3 You can actually think a black person is committing a crime and still be in favor of black lives.
Speaker 2 But I think I get what she's going for.
Speaker 48 It's like, Glenn,
Speaker 37 George Soros is white.
Speaker 18 Oh, crap.
Speaker 9 I shouldn't forget whatever I said about George Soros.
Speaker 3 And some psychotic behavior, too?
Speaker 1 Yes.
Speaker 76 Was that also illustrated when David was president, or was that time swing?
Speaker 1 Yeah, it's never changed how they've acted.
Speaker 76 David acted the same way?
Speaker 1 From what I saw of him,
Speaker 1 he's never approached me or my partner at all,
Speaker 1 but I've just seen him helping out around the house with like yard work, and then I saw him living on the bus. I've never even heard him speak.
Speaker 73 Did you know his name or you just were recognizing his name?
Speaker 1 I didn't recognize his name, but I also don't know the name of the kids either.
Speaker 73 Okay, you just recognize this picture from today.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 4 Okay, so that's who the neighbor
Speaker 11 says he is.
Speaker 82 Now, there's a few questions that have to be answered here.
Speaker 83 How did he get into the house?
Speaker 4 How did he get in the house?
Speaker 48 Did he get in the house through the back door and did he break it?
Speaker 44 And is that what Paul first heard?
Speaker 9 Is this a failure of the Capitol Police?
Speaker 16 Remember, she's under Capitol Police protection,
Speaker 29 which
Speaker 12 because she's third in line for the presidency, God help us all.
Speaker 82 Can you imagine how bad the country would be if we have Joe Biden and then it would go to
Speaker 12 Kamala and then she gets sick and dies and we have Nancy Pelo.
Speaker 84 Dewey even survive that?
Speaker 2 Anyway,
Speaker 43 because she's third in line, she has not only Capitol Police, but she has increased Secret Service.
Speaker 16 Do you remember when we were at George H.W.
Speaker 85 Bush's house?
Speaker 75 Okay.
Speaker 77 And remember they had the
Speaker 12 sensors on the ground.
Speaker 86 They could tell where feet were.
Speaker 51 It was like a little mini
Speaker 37 earthquake detector almost.
Speaker 4 They positioned them all through the yard so they could see and or they could hear and see
Speaker 86 where people were on the grounds.
Speaker 21 She apparently has that.
Speaker 4 If she doesn't, then somebody told them not to have that.
Speaker 7 But that's the kind of security that number three position has.
Speaker 9 So we know because there's we've seen photos this weekend of video cameras.
Speaker 16 These are high tech. This is government.
Speaker 37 This isn't like local security.
Speaker 16 Then like, you know what?
Speaker 68 I'm just going door to door selling burglar alarms.
Speaker 16 This was done by the government.
Speaker 21 So let's see the tapes. Let's see the tapes.
Speaker 81 How did the guy get in?
Speaker 83 Why have we not seen those tapes?
Speaker 42 Why haven't we, why don't we see the
Speaker 28 vest cameras from the police?
Speaker 3 It's only been a couple of days.
Speaker 2 That would be no snow there, right?
Speaker 57 I know that.
Speaker 29 But it's, here's what bothers me.
Speaker 21 The security.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 3 No, because you mentioned this is not just some like, you know, private security.
Speaker 3 Well, there's been reports that they also had that, that the neighborhood came together to pay for a group security for this area because they're also rich and they live in a town where crime is rampant because of their policies.
Speaker 3
So they've paid for private security to help assist in this area just in case. They don't patrol it all the time.
So if that's true, and there's been multiple reports to that effect.
Speaker 3 So this guy somehow evaded private security and whatever security measures the government put in to get in.
Speaker 57 It's a very strange story.
Speaker 36 Why did big tech take down DePape's
Speaker 60 alleged social accounts?
Speaker 3
This is a really frustrating part of this. Yeah.
Because we, look, I, of course, every media source is trying to say this is some right-wing extremist, which does not fit the profile at all.
Speaker 3 But like, we can't check any of their reporting.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 3 They pull this down every time. And I get why they do it with certain people, like a mass shooter that might have a manifesto that they don't want to inspire, copycats, or whatever.
Speaker 3 But this is not that case.
Speaker 2 No.
Speaker 3 Why wouldn't we be able to see all of his postings? This would be important.
Speaker 70 Yeah,
Speaker 28 it's really weird.
Speaker 42 It's really strange.
Speaker 43 He is,
Speaker 27 he apparently is far-right.
Speaker 21 And
Speaker 21 this is what the LA Times
Speaker 44 is telling us: that he's a far-right
Speaker 70 guy that is a fan of Glenn Beck.
Speaker 66 And
Speaker 26 Daily Wire.
Speaker 66 Yeah.
Speaker 45 I mean, thank you for that.
Speaker 87 I'm just trying to go through.
Speaker 41 Now, let me just go back to who he is.
Speaker 22 Now, know that he is
Speaker 19 supposedly a fan of mine.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 7 He was a nudist.
Speaker 44 I can see all the nudists just loving this program.
Speaker 21 He was a hippie.
Speaker 27 Love it.
Speaker 21 He was a San Francisco.
Speaker 15 Love it. Black Lives Matter supporter.
Speaker 62 Love it.
Speaker 22 QAnon supporter.
Speaker 2 Hmm.
Speaker 21 You don't get a lot of QAnon news from this program, do you?
Speaker 2 No, you do not.
Speaker 88 No, no.
Speaker 21 He also apparently loved Pizzagate.
Speaker 44 You mean the thing that I said from the beginning was nonsense?
Speaker 32 Really? That thing?
Speaker 41 He was also, and I mean, if you listen to this program, you can see why he was a fan.
Speaker 6 He hated Jews.
Speaker 66 Now...
Speaker 3 That's weird that he'd be a fan of the person who won the Defender of Israel Award.
Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 29 It'd be really strange because...
Speaker 3 Weird coincidence. Yeah.
Speaker 12 I've been talking about anti-Semitism on the Rise for 20 years.
Speaker 28 That'd be really weird for him to be.
Speaker 3 A big fan of the show.
Speaker 89 A big fan of the show.
Speaker 3 Maybe he just was inspired, just really liked your big event you had in Israel about the defense.
Speaker 2 Maybe that's what it was and the importance of God.
Speaker 11 He also said
Speaker 17 that equity was a dog whistle for the genocide of the white race.
Speaker 32 Okay.
Speaker 16 That's something that we also took on here recently and said that's ridiculous.
Speaker 9 It's absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 3
Equity is a... is a BS social justice sort of sort of term, and we have pointed out issues with it.
But the genocide, not a lot of airtime for the genocide of the white race, Ryan.
Speaker 21 Right.
Speaker 23 So you can see we had a lot in common.
Speaker 21 I can see why he was a fan of this program.
Speaker 21 That doesn't really make sense now, does it?
Speaker 3
No, and it would be nice to be able to check the work of the media because we know they would not tell us the truth if something else was going on. Yeah.
All right.
Speaker 12 More on this in just a second.
Speaker 79 American Financing NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
Speaker 4 Every morning, after the full moon, the man who had been Wolfman at night would awake in his home, surrounded by all the things that he had broken in his doglike frenzy, naked as a jaybird.
Speaker 46 This part was especially disturbing to his neighbors who frequently jogged by the open window through which he had escaped the night before.
Speaker 46 He thought to himself, geez, being the wolfman is getting expensive.
Speaker 2 Between making repairs to my house and having to buy a new wardrobe all the time, I am beginning to regret and regret that that old woman with the gold tooth put a curse on me in the first place.
Speaker 64 But thankfully, Even on Halloween, he knew exactly what to do.
Speaker 68 He placed a call to American Financing to set him on the right path.
Speaker 44 In 10 minutes, their salary-based mortgage consultants did a review of his finances and began the process of getting him out of debt.
Speaker 53 You'd be amazed what the interest rate on a Wolfman's credit card is nowadays, but they took care of it with a consolidation loan at a much lower
Speaker 53 interest rate.
Speaker 44 For once, the Wolfman was happy-unhappy.
Speaker 14 Usually, he's just unhappy.
Speaker 31 Unless he's feasting.
Speaker 64 He was happy that he called American financing and hoped that it would remain that way
Speaker 91 until the next full moon.
Speaker 32 Man, these are scary stories.
Speaker 16 10 seconds, station ID.
Speaker 16 You scared?
Speaker 36 Are you a little scared? That's terrifying, yeah.
Speaker 48 A little scared to be really scary.
Speaker 19 What's going to happen in the third episode?
Speaker 32 What's going to happen to the Wolfman?
Speaker 58 I don't know.
Speaker 70 I just don't know.
Speaker 3 I will be here to find out. I'm paid to, so I will be here to find out.
Speaker 16 It's got to be good.
Speaker 3 This is a weird story, though.
Speaker 3 We don't want to jump to conclusions. No, and you know what?
Speaker 16 Here's what I really think happened.
Speaker 12 I think
Speaker 19 somehow or another,
Speaker 24 the security was turned off, which needs to be investigated.
Speaker 28 But I think this guy is just crazy, crazy, crazy.
Speaker 34 He broke in,
Speaker 24 started
Speaker 63 going after Paul.
Speaker 4 Paul went into the bathroom and made the phone call, spoke code,
Speaker 41 brightly so, to the police officers.
Speaker 61 The dispatch was very sharp, picked up on it, made for a, you know, code code red.
Speaker 48 They got there.
Speaker 42 By the way, he's not in jail.
Speaker 64 Did you know that?
Speaker 24 Hippie boy, not in jail.
Speaker 21 He's still in the hospital.
Speaker 21 The Glenbach program.
Speaker 91 Every morning, after the...
Speaker 31 The full moon, at last it was done.
Speaker 62 The silver bullet had been fired.
Speaker 2 The wolfman was no more.
Speaker 31 Standing in the rain-soaked streets and looking down at the gigantic, terrifying body of the thing that had once been a man, a policeman shook his head. Too bad, he said.
Speaker 35 The guy owed me 30 bucks before the old lady cursed him.
Speaker 21 Guess I'll never see that now, said the police officer with a strange Barack Obama Irish accent.
Speaker 53 Not likely, said another policeman.
Speaker 46 The old wolf man left all his money to charity.
Speaker 49 Maybe to make up for being such a monster.
Speaker 16 The first policeman, who had seen the commercials before and knew the drill, said, Charity, what charity?
Speaker 24 The Tunnel to Towers Foundation, said the policeman.
Speaker 30 When a service member or people like us get shot in the line of duty, well, they take care of the mortgage for the family.
Speaker 24 Wow, said the other policeman.
Speaker 39 He left all his money to them.
Speaker 15 Well, it almost makes up for all those people he killed.
Speaker 78 What a great guy.
Speaker 28 Donate 11 bucks a month to Tunnel to Towers T, the number2t.org.
Speaker 16 T2T.org.
Speaker 2 Well,
Speaker 36 hello, you sick twisted freak.
Speaker 19 Welcome to Mr.
Speaker 61 Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 79 Hello, Pat. Hello, Click.
Speaker 53 Oh, it's good to have you.
Speaker 2 Oh,
Speaker 78 love your costume.
Speaker 44 That is the best mask I've ever seen. Thank you.
Speaker 14 Scary as hell. Yeah.
Speaker 2 Really? I know. Yeah.
Speaker 25 It took eight hours.
Speaker 88
Really? Yeah, eight hours to do this mask. Holy cow.
Yeah.
Speaker 88 Well, it's good.
Speaker 2 Good. It's good.
Speaker 69 Don't know exactly who you're supposed to be, but it's really good.
Speaker 9 So what are your thoughts on the Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 14 shooting?
Speaker 19 I think there's...
Speaker 3 Wait, what story? Are you breaking a new one?
Speaker 52 No, no, no, no.
Speaker 60 The Nancy Pelosi's husband being hammered.
Speaker 32 I can't you say that either.
Speaker 32 That's a whole different story.
Speaker 2 That's a whole month earlier.
Speaker 90 The debacle that happened at the Pelosi compound.
Speaker 89 Yeah, well, that's right-wing kooks for you, isn't it?
Speaker 2 That's what they do.
Speaker 32 That's what they do.
Speaker 89 White supremacists and
Speaker 32 MAGA Republicans.
Speaker 69 That's what they do.
Speaker 2 Mega MAGA? Mega MAGA Republicans who are incredibly violent.
Speaker 89 I think we're going to find,
Speaker 89 I think there's there's some other things going on.
Speaker 3 I mean, the guy, when you go to his house, Michael Schellenberger did a really good article on this.
Speaker 82 He's joining us, by the way, in half an hour, yeah.
Speaker 3 Oh, yeah, it's really good.
Speaker 89 I mean, go to his house and take a look around, and then tell me the guy's a right-wing MAGA Republican.
Speaker 32 Right. He's living in a lot of people.
Speaker 2 Black Lives Matter.
Speaker 97 He's living in a bus.
Speaker 12 He's practically homeless.
Speaker 89 He's, he's, not that you can't be a MAGA Republican and be homeless.
Speaker 94 I just don't know that many. But
Speaker 66 do you know a lot of homeless people?
Speaker 57 A few. A few.
Speaker 2 Do you? Yeah. Huh.
Speaker 60 Have you offered them maybe some help, a handful?
Speaker 32 Yeah, a sandwich, but then I got fined for it.
Speaker 27 You can't feed them.
Speaker 32 All right,
Speaker 94 unless the
Speaker 32 city
Speaker 32 homeless.
Speaker 89 But then the LGBT rainbow flag is another telltale sign of MAGA Republicanism.
Speaker 97 The BLM sign?
Speaker 89 The BLM sign, all of that.
Speaker 60 Well, and the hemp bracelet making that he made.
Speaker 57 How many hemp bracelets have you made?
Speaker 32 Right.
Speaker 57 Between the necklaces and the hemp bracelets.
Speaker 43 And the fact that he was,
Speaker 7 I don't know if it was a traditional marriage, but married to the other girl
Speaker 23 who had a nude wedding in San Francisco City Hall.
Speaker 32 Yeah, there does seem to be some nudism going on here.
Speaker 59 And
Speaker 92 she also
Speaker 28 got her older son to try to deliver love letters to this underage boy that she wanted to escape with.
Speaker 2 I mean, if it's not the moral majority, I don't know what the moral majority is.
Speaker 3 It's like I listened to, I can't even tell you how many,
Speaker 3 you know, mainstream media podcasts this weekend to try to get, to try to understand the narrative and what they were telling us and what was true. Cause I want, I'd like to know.
Speaker 94 We have to know. We have to know.
Speaker 3 And
Speaker 3 if the viewpoint is that this person was a left-wing hippie nudist for many, many years who over the recent future went through some sort of transformation and became a right-wing figure.
Speaker 69 I don't blame the Democrats.
Speaker 3
I don't blame the Democrats. I don't blame the Republicans for that.
But I do blame the media because every single one of these stories went through the recent posting, including
Speaker 3 this person followed Glenn Beck in the Daily Wire.
Speaker 3 Jordan Peterson.
Speaker 2 Yeah,
Speaker 2 that is just
Speaker 2 right-wing
Speaker 41 people that he followed on his Facebook.
Speaker 21 But just recently,
Speaker 21 just recently.
Speaker 3 To not include, though, his entire left-wing
Speaker 66 Jesus is the Antichrist.
Speaker 2
No, no, no. Yeah.
Yeah.
Speaker 16 Jesus. Well, that's another thing.
Speaker 60 You know, if you listen to this program, how anti-Jesus we are.
Speaker 45 You can see why he's a fan.
Speaker 21 But he also believed he was Jesus.
Speaker 3 For it seems like over a year, he believed he was Jesus.
Speaker 3 But like, how can if you are an honest media organization, and I know I wasn't listening to them, which is the problem here, but like, if you were honest, you would mention both, right?
Speaker 3
You might mention, okay, look, he has some conspiracy theories on there. He had anti-Semitism on there.
He had left-wing nudism stuff. He had a BLM sign.
Speaker 3 I mean, it's easy, I think, to come to the conclusion that this was not a story of political extremism. It was a story of someone who did drugs for multiple decades and blew his mind up.
Speaker 58 And was nuts. He's nuts.
Speaker 16 But here's the thing.
Speaker 7 They're even saying, I don't remember which paper it was, one of the LA Times, New York Times, or The Post, but they're saying even if he was crazy, it's still that dangerous rhetoric that fed into his head.
Speaker 21 Well, let me ask you this.
Speaker 66 Did we ban Jodi Foster?
Speaker 26 I mean, when Hinkley said, I just, I wanted to impress her because I love her and I watch all of her movies and I thought this would impress her and he tried to kill Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 21 Was there one
Speaker 21 peep of saying, this is Jodi Foster's?
Speaker 4 We got to put pants and a big coat on that woman, make sure she looks very unattractive, or banner movies.
Speaker 2 No.
Speaker 3
No, there was no talk of that. And of course, that would be the sane approach to a story like that.
Yes.
Speaker 3 Just like, by the way, we did not blame Bernie Sanders for his own, his campaign volunteer trying to shoot 10% of all
Speaker 3 elected Republicans in Washington, D.C.
Speaker 2 By the way,
Speaker 22 can I ask
Speaker 98 why the concern here
Speaker 28 about this guy and the guy who flew in, I think, from San Francisco to kill Kavanaugh?
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 2 Much more recently.
Speaker 81 It was just like gone.
Speaker 63 Yeah.
Speaker 32 They didn't care. Nobody cared about it.
Speaker 3 They didn't even cover it.
Speaker 2 Nobody cared.
Speaker 33 Do we
Speaker 16 do you know that the Sunday news programs that week didn't even cover the Kavanaugh story?
Speaker 32 Didn't even cover it.
Speaker 57 Didn't even cover it.
Speaker 68 Didn't mention it.
Speaker 32 My God. Didn't cover it.
Speaker 3
Now, of course, the difference here is: number one, they get to blame the other side. And number two, we are eight days away from an election.
And they will do anything
Speaker 3 to get these seats to go the right way.
Speaker 2 So they will not report.
Speaker 3 We are in the Hunter Biden window here.
Speaker 3 We learn about the truth of Hunter Biden from the mainstream media approximately one year after it's relevant to an election and one year before it's relevant to an election.
Speaker 3 As far away from an election as possible.
Speaker 3 Well, now that we're a week, we are in full-fledged Hunter Biden, the Hunter-Biden window, where the media seems to have completely convinced themselves they can abandon all
Speaker 3 appearance of journalism to try to win this election, to do anything they can to flip one or two seats here or there
Speaker 3
in an area that might have gone red, make them go blue, anything we can do. That's where they are right now.
So you really, the mainstream media never has
Speaker 3
a sufficient bank of trust that we should all be believing exists. But I will say, now you have to.
You can't believe anything they say. You can't believe anything they say for the next week.
Speaker 27 You can't. I have to tell you,
Speaker 43 they say, you know, all these crazy conspiracies.
Speaker 3 What?
Speaker 24 Like the one that Hillary Clinton is currently pushing about the 2024 election, saying that it's all going to be stolen by the Republicans?
Speaker 2 They're all saying this.
Speaker 16 That there is this giant cabal of MAGA people out there that just want to destroy the country, that we are against a democracy, which in a way we are.
Speaker 86 We're for a republic, not a democracy.
Speaker 81 But that's beside the point.
Speaker 67 All of these things that they have been saying, Russiagate, all of this, Joe Biden is clean.
Speaker 16 There's no, he's the cleanest, clean guy.
Speaker 4 Fetterman is completely healthy and ready to serve.
Speaker 24 This is incredible coming from these people.
Speaker 28 And they wonder why conspiracy theories bubble up.
Speaker 39 Well, because somebody thinks something's wrong.
Speaker 59 And
Speaker 70 let me use the left or the right doing something wrong that causes conspiracy theories.
Speaker 19 The 9-11 Commission
Speaker 21 excusing,
Speaker 34 what was his name that came out with the underpass, Sandy Berger, who went into the National Archives.
Speaker 18 Now,
Speaker 9 think of this, with what we've just gone through with Donald Trump.
Speaker 66 Sandy Berger goes in, asks for the presidential archives for George H.W.
Speaker 4 Bush and Bill Clinton, opens them up. It's about Saudi Arabia, something about relationships.
Speaker 59 We don't really know any more than that.
Speaker 82 Puts it in his underpants, leaves, goes across the street, destroys a few by the time the National Archives run out to catch him and get the rest of the, and he's only lo he only lost his security clearance for a year
Speaker 67 you want to know why there's a conspiracy theory around 9-11
Speaker 21 because you didn't explain that you didn't come clean and explain that and so people fill in the blanks when something doesn't make sense They try to make sense of it.
Speaker 66 And anyone who is giving them lines of bullcrap and just doesn't say what we said earlier this morning, we don't know what happened, but here are some questions that need to be answered.
Speaker 98 Those people are not furthering conspiracy theories.
Speaker 9 Those people who ask questions are the ones that create the conspiracy, or the ones who create the conspiracy theory look at people like us and say,
Speaker 52 they're even questioning this.
Speaker 21 How could they possibly question this?
Speaker 7 We told you what it was.
Speaker 21 Okay, show us, just show us the tape. Just show us the tape of the guy getting in.
Speaker 2 That would help.
Speaker 21 Show us,
Speaker 21 explain to us why he downloaded all of those posts, these crazy posts.
Speaker 81 Why did he post them all in one day?
Speaker 21 Can you explain that? And that's fine if he did.
Speaker 10 Maybe he did it that way.
Speaker 4 But that seems weird.
Speaker 3 Something that would be notable.
Speaker 3 I mean, look, he is, I think he is insane, and I think he's has a massive drug problem.
Speaker 32 And so there's the number one thing.
Speaker 30 There's the number one thing.
Speaker 21 Did you not, did you know that he was in the hospital and not jail?
Speaker 3 I didn't know. No.
Speaker 58 Did you? No.
Speaker 2 Yeah, neither did I.
Speaker 12 Neither did I till this morning.
Speaker 21 He's in the hospital.
Speaker 48 Well, okay, was he hurt?
Speaker 21 Or is that a psychiatric hospital?
Speaker 21 Because that's some important information.
Speaker 87 Where's the answer on that?
Speaker 3 Right now, the only goal is to make sure that Republicans are blamed for this
Speaker 3 so that votes can be cast in the right direction.
Speaker 32 Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 40 I think this makes people even more determined to vote.
Speaker 44 You must end this madness.
Speaker 70 It has to end.
Speaker 70 It has to end.
Speaker 12 And the first step is voting on Tuesday and not just
Speaker 7 forget about just the national politics.
Speaker 15 Look at your local politics.
Speaker 19 I told my family the other day, for the first time in my life, Republican lever all the way down.
Speaker 27 I've never done that.
Speaker 64 Never have I done that all the way down.
Speaker 3 Well, you mean you've never voted like straight party
Speaker 3 hitting the lever that does all of them, basically.
Speaker 80 Yeah.
Speaker 60 And I tell you,
Speaker 2 we need people in our states.
Speaker 10 We have a chance of having, I think, 40 states or 37 states that would be all Republican, Republican governor, Republican, it's like in the 20s that it would be Republican House and Senate.
Speaker 16 So the legislature and everybody involved would be a Republican.
Speaker 44 That will stop the nonsense in Washington.
Speaker 84 States have the power to do it.
Speaker 43 And I'm thrilled to see that people are acting locally.
Speaker 88 All right, back in a minute. Thank you, Pat.
Speaker 2 The mysterious traveler from Transylvania would only agree to meet at night.
Speaker 70 He was looking at some castle.
Speaker 14 He said the bigger the better.
Speaker 64 But just like it was with everyone else, the Biden economy was bleeding him dry.
Speaker 19 Look, I need, he said in a strange Transylvanian accent that was exactly the same as his Russian accent, what I need is real estate, the real estate agent that maybe I could trust.
Speaker 91 But far and wide, there were no really good agents who could meet his needs.
Speaker 13 He found a snot-nosed kid who'd worked part-time as a short-order cook at a Burger King.
Speaker 2 No good.
Speaker 56 A soccer mom with a haircut that said, I want to see your
Speaker 88 manager.
Speaker 6 Even worse.
Speaker 41 Finally, Finally, he got in touch with realestate agentsitrust.com.
Speaker 4 I think you know the rest of the story, don't you?
Speaker 2 You don't?
Speaker 41 This agent was intelligent, knew that his client, Dracula,
Speaker 53 he knew what he was.
Speaker 61 He staked the old bat in the heart and went about his business.
Speaker 17 He couldn't help a bad guy like Dracula, but he could help you.
Speaker 7 Realestateagents I Trust.com.
Speaker 16 That's RealEstateAgents agentsitrust.com.
Speaker 101 This is the Glen Beck Program.
Speaker 53 Welcome to the Glen Beck program.
Speaker 90 We're glad you're here.
Speaker 60 We're going to talk a little bit more about the Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 69 and Paul Pelosi situation situation here in just a minute with a guy who has been working all weekend just to get to the facts.
Speaker 44 He lives in the area.
Speaker 45 He was called at one point
Speaker 52 Time magazine's, I think, environmentalist of the year, right?
Speaker 77 And
Speaker 12 was loved on the left until they went crazy.
Speaker 88 And he got out and said, yeah,
Speaker 75 no,
Speaker 7 not to saying that he's a conservative.
Speaker 78 he's just a truth teller.
Speaker 44 So he's been looking into this, and he'll be joining us with the latest here in just about 10 minutes.
Speaker 4 And, you know, when you have, I mean,
Speaker 22 just the news put out something a couple of weeks ago, the seven things that the media told you were conspiracy theories or lies.
Speaker 32 That turns out, no, not so much.
Speaker 67 The Hunter Biden laptop,
Speaker 21 the origins of COVID-19, it's pretty well accepted now, widely accepted, that it probably came from the lab.
Speaker 57 You couldn't even ask that.
Speaker 16 You were a conspiracy theorist.
Speaker 7 The vaccines, if you even questioned if there was anything, you,
Speaker 21 California, was telling doctors, if you spread this misinformation, you could be subject to discipline and lose your medical license.
Speaker 19 New data shows, ah, not so much, not so much.
Speaker 17 January 6th, Nancy Pelosi calling in the National Guard.
Speaker 57 They tried to make it look like, you know, anybody who said, wait, President Trump offered the National Guard days ahead.
Speaker 67 Yeah,
Speaker 87 yeah, that's a lie.
Speaker 7 Counter-narrative, conspiracy theory, disinformation, malinformation.
Speaker 42 Looks like it was true.
Speaker 7 FBI intelligence warning, January 6th, protesters might violently storm the Capitol.
Speaker 40 Emailed the night before the riot to the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 38 You've got more.
Speaker 24 The mistreatment of January 6th defendants, the irregularities in the 2020 election, the critical race theory in school.
Speaker 33 That's just white people.
Speaker 41 That's racist to even say that.
Speaker 69 It's not happening.

Speaker 2 This is the Glenback program.
Speaker 40 Hello, America.
Speaker 35 After reading all of the crazy things that the guy who took a hammer to Paul Pelosi had written just recently,
Speaker 92 and I saw how twisted this guy was, I was surprised to find out that he followed me on Facebook, apparently.
Speaker 35 I don't know it, I haven't seen it, but it's been reported that he was a fan of mine.
Speaker 100 Really?
Speaker 55 Is it the pro-Jewish stance?
Speaker 2 Or
Speaker 2 what?
Speaker 92 What exactly is it this guy supposedly loved about this show?
Speaker 13 I have to tell you,
Speaker 68 what's happening to our country is just more division, and it's got to stop.
Speaker 36 I told you on Friday, if this guy is a lefty or a righty, he should go to prison, get the full,
Speaker 48 you know, full force of the law, no matter who he is, what he is.
Speaker 21 But there's a chance he's, oh, I don't know, crazy.
Speaker 40 Now, we've had somebody else that was crazy that tried to kill a politician.
Speaker 42 His name was John Hinkley.
Speaker 34 Did we blame it on Jodi Foster movies?
Speaker 58 No.
Speaker 21 There are too many things that just seem wrong.
Speaker 43 I think this story is...
Speaker 41 easy to explain.
Speaker 33 He's a nutjob who used to believe he was Jesus for a while.
Speaker 34 He went even more crazy and he tried to kill Nancy Pelosi, not Paul Pelosi.
Speaker 29 But what is the truth?
Speaker 21 Who do you trust to tell you the truth?
Speaker 38 Michael Schellenberger is with us.
Speaker 24 He is the Environmental Progress founder and president.
Speaker 20 I know, sounds like something you're not into, but you should be.
Speaker 39 Michael Schellenberger is a guy who was the hero of the left until they started just taking things out of context and twisting them about global warming.
Speaker 36 He fell off that, gee, we love you, pedestal quite quickly.
Speaker 21 He lives in San Francisco.
Speaker 71 He has written the book, San Francisco,
Speaker 21 and he has spent the weekend looking into this story.
Speaker 24 We join Michael Schellenberger in 60 seconds.
Speaker 71 It's Halloween.
Speaker 2 Deep down in the filthy gutter with a rain and the leaves go down to die beneath the city,
Speaker 2 there
Speaker 45 lurks an evil clown.
Speaker 21 Just waiting for the day that you pass by a little too closely to his lair.
Speaker 20 He laughs a throaty, evil little laugh and dances around in delight every time he thinks about what he's going to do when...
Speaker 22 Not if, when he catches you on some dark and rainy day.
Speaker 31 Of course, that's just what he does with most of his time.
Speaker 68 The rest of his time is pretty boring, really.
Speaker 42 You know, he takes off his makeup. Hey, he puts his pants on just like everybody else.
Speaker 84 He goes shopping a lot.
Speaker 69 Ever since he got a wallet full of cash from the last guy he tried to drag into the sewer, he's been hitting the stores pretty hard.
Speaker 24 He's thinking, you know, maybe there's some other, you know, outfits I could wear besides a clown outfit.
Speaker 2 Anyway,
Speaker 60 even a killer clown needs to be pennywise.
Speaker 7 Anyway, download the free upside app and use the promo code BEC and get 25 cents or more back for every gallon of your first tank of gas.
Speaker 7 You'll save money, 25 cents or more back for every gallon on your first tank of gas by using the promo code Beck.
Speaker 81 Download the free app.
Speaker 43 It's upside.
Speaker 88 Do it now.
Speaker 32 Michael, how are you, sir?
Speaker 89 Great. Good to be back, Glenn.
Speaker 13 Yeah, thank you so much for all your hard work on this.
Speaker 2 Well, thank you for having me on.
Speaker 104 I'm excited to talk about it.
Speaker 75 Okay, so
Speaker 39 tell me what you have found.
Speaker 19 What's true, what's not true?
Speaker 104 Well, look, what we know is that this is somebody who, according to multiple witnesses, including the mother of his children, was struggling with mental illness for over a decade.
Speaker 104 We know he was homeless for a while. We know there was extensive drug use.
Speaker 104 You know, mental illness, serious mental illness like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are pretty rare, but we do see a lot of drug-induced mental illness, particularly from methamphetamine use, but certainly other drugs over time can cause psychosis, which is, of course, the classic
Speaker 104 insanity of not being able to tell the difference between reality and your imagination.
Speaker 104 And so what's obvious here is that the alleged suspect in the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband was in the grip of psychosis. And
Speaker 104 to blame political ideology is just what you said. It's the equivalent of blaming Martin Scorsese for making the movie Taxi Driver on John Hinkley Jr.'s attack on Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 104 The crazy ideas expressed in the blog posts of the alleged attacker of Pelosi are themselves symptoms of the underlying psychosis. It's incorrect to point to them as the cause.
Speaker 21 So
Speaker 80 I heard this morning that he is in the hospital or was this weekend.
Speaker 12 Were those for injuries or is he in a psych ward?
Speaker 12 I don't know.
Speaker 104 It could be both.
Speaker 104 I think if he's,
Speaker 104 you know, if
Speaker 104
he wouldn't be hospitalized long-term if he's in the hospital. He'll be held.
He'll be diagnosed by a psychiatrist. And we'll find out soon.
Speaker 104
I mean, I think that the good news is that the truth gets out. It was obvious to me, because of course I'm very close to this.
I wrote a whole book about this, came out last year.
Speaker 104 It was obvious to me as soon as I heard about who he was and started talking to his neighbors and his family members that this was somebody that was unwell and this was a result of a sickness.
Speaker 104 I was disturbed by how quickly even so-called mainstream journalists were to basically go and blame conservatives, blame Republicans, blame Trump.
Speaker 104 You know, if somebody were were to be like, I read Michael Schellenberger's book, and that's why I committed this crime, it would be inappropriate to blame me for that crime.
Speaker 104 And I think everybody knows that, but in this toxic political environment, I think it's important to remind people of that.
Speaker 44 We never blamed Bernie Sanders, ever.
Speaker 8 In fact, we were clear on day one.
Speaker 16 that it wasn't Bernie Sanders' fault that one of his supporters went and tried to kill all the Republicans in Congress.
Speaker 32 It's ridiculous. Of course, of course.
Speaker 104 Yeah, I mean, I was sorry to see it. I mean, basically, I had one episode in particular.
Speaker 104 There's a reporter who supposedly focused on disinformation at NBC News who came out and he tweeted at my reporting and said, oh, my reporting had been debunked because there's all these blog posts showing that the suspect in the attack had written crazy things, including some right-wing things, but also things about fairies and demons.
Speaker 104 And
Speaker 104 I found it very disturbing because I have a hard time believing that that journalist didn't know that what was driving the suspect was
Speaker 104
mental illness or psychosis. It really appeared that he was deliberately misleading people in order to engage in partisan political behavior just 10 days before an election.
And
Speaker 104 it's not just on Twitter. I mean, if you watch Meet the Press yesterday, Chuck Todd's program on NBC, the whole program was basically dedicated to this topic.
Speaker 104 And at no point in any of the program did they even discuss the fact that the suspect was clearly in a psychotic state, suffering from delusions, under long-term drug use.
Speaker 104
Instead, Chuck Todd made the whole show about political radicalization and ideas. And I just think that's terrible reporting.
I think it's very partisan.
Speaker 104 I won't speculate as to the motives of the journalists, but it's either bad journalism or it's motivated by politics.
Speaker 60 Is it worse that they did that or that when Kavanaugh, the guy from California, came to kill Kavanaugh, they didn't even report it on any of the Sunday morning shows.
Speaker 104 Well, I mean, that's the other thing, and I wrote a post about this yesterday, Glenn, and you're absolutely right. I mean, it's disturbing.
Speaker 104 I saw when the Kavanaugh assassination happened, of course, I paid attention to it.
Speaker 104 But I'll say this, there are many progressive and liberal people in my life who still do not know that there was a serious assassination plot against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh because it was not covered in anything close to this.
Speaker 104 So just as you said, three days after that assassination plot was revealed, none of the Sunday talk shows wrote about it. The New York Times buried the story on page A20.
Speaker 104 The Pelosi assassination, alleged assassination attempts was on the front page of the New York Times two days in a row. You know, and I'll tell you the other thing about it is that
Speaker 104 the suspect in the Kavanaugh killing was clearly motivated by his pro-choice and his pro-gun control views, and his own lawyers last week said that he was mentally fit to stand trial.
Speaker 104 In other words, it appears, and again, there's still more information to come, and I don't want to get ahead of it, but it appears as though the suspect in the Kavanaugh plot was genuinely motivated by political fanaticism, not by mental illness.
Speaker 104 Whereas in the Pelosi case, he clearly was driven by psychosis, mental illness, drug-induced or underlying, we don't know.
Speaker 104 But the media basically reversed those two stories and did not, and covered the Pelosi plot attempt as though it were driven by political fanaticism rather than by psychosis.
Speaker 3 It really is incredible. You are from the area, Michael, and you were down there, right? These are some of these interviews we've seen.
Speaker 2 You were there, right?
Speaker 2 I was.
Speaker 104 I was. I mean, I think it's,
Speaker 104 you know, I'm a journalist at heart, and so it's not that far from my house, and I went down there and I interviewed all the neighbors. I mean, I'll tell you a couple of shocking things.
Speaker 104 I won't name names, but I was not impressed by the reporting of the other journalists. Good journalism is that you go and knock on all the doors and you interview as many people as you can.
Speaker 104 I was the only one doing that.
Speaker 104 There was a lot of laziness here.
Speaker 104 There's a lot, and it's also the partisanship and the laziness are related because if if you have the idea that this was, you know, a Trump supporter who went after Pelosi, then you don't want to go and get to the bottom of the other stuff.
Speaker 104
You don't want to go do those interviews. You want to stick with your little story.
So
Speaker 104
that was part of it. And then, you know, like, there's just, it's a really, you know, when you get into it, Glenn, as you might imagine, it's a tragic story.
I mean,
Speaker 104
it's drug use, it's pedophilia. The ex, the mother of his two kids is in prison for basically child molestation.
She was a crazy person.
Speaker 104
So she herself is something, I think she probably has a personality disorder and also long-term drug use. The kids are in that house.
They apparently weren't going to school.
Speaker 104 I mean, this is a real, you know, it's basically a symptom of exactly the problems I described in San Francisco, which is that we've stopped enforcing basic laws.
Speaker 104 And when you stop enforcing laws against people that are suffering mental illness or addicted to hard drugs, they don't get the help they need.
Speaker 104 And I think that's part of the lesson here is that this tragedy could have been averted if we enforced basic laws and mandated drug treatment and psychiatric care for the people who need it.
Speaker 104
You know, it's not that every time someone, you arrest somebody for breaking a law that they have to go to prison or they have to be punished. Certainly some people do.
But other people are just sick.
Speaker 104 And
Speaker 104 I think what we'll discover as time goes on is that the suspect in the Pelosi attack was was somebody who was very ill and needed to get treatment mandated many, many years ago, but didn't get it because we're in the grip of, frankly, some pretty radical left political ideas.
Speaker 21 Did you see the op-ed
Speaker 31 by,
Speaker 85 gosh, who was it?
Speaker 26 Shoot.
Speaker 45 Lost his name.
Speaker 17 The guy who just wrote this weekend about the
Speaker 19 op-ed about Tom Cotton at the New York Times and how, yeah, yeah
Speaker 44 he's an op-ed columnist and he even didn't say anything about it.
Speaker 28 He said because we were afraid to
Speaker 4 when you said a minute ago that you know they don't want to find it Yeah, how many are afraid to do their job in burn in journalism?
Speaker 85 Well, I was afraid.
Speaker 104
I mean, I think there's a lot of you know, you know my story. I mean, I came from the radical left.
I consider myself a moderate. I'm an politically independent.
Speaker 104 But yeah, I mean, I was afraid on everything. And, you know, partly you worry about losing your friends, you worry about upsetting your family, you worry about no longer being able to make a living.
Speaker 104 And, you know, what you're describing is a column by Washington Post reporter Eric Wempel, who writes a media column. And he basically, to his credit,
Speaker 104 there was an ambivalent reaction to it, interestingly enough, but basically, to his credit, he came out and said it was wrong for the New York Times to fire its op-ed page editor who ran, of course, this op-ed by Senator Cotton arguing for the use of the of the National Guard and U.S.
Speaker 104 troops to put down the riots well he was not only did the New York Times because of the outrage by its woke journalist staff they basically denounced the op-ed they fired the op-ed page editor everybody watched this happen and knew it was wrong and you know so to his credit whatever it was, like two years ago now,
Speaker 104 this columnist of the Washington Post said that that was wrong. You know, uh I think it's good that you know it's better late than never, and he's one of the first people to say it.
Speaker 104 But yeah, I mean, it's it's almost a it's a kind of um yeah, it's social fear, you're worried about your friends and your family, but it's also a financial fear, like am I going to get fired from my job?
Speaker 104 You know, this is um this is really serious stuff and I think that the partisanship and you always emphasize this, I think it's so important, you know, we need to allow disagreement in our society.
Speaker 104 We need to appreciate and reward it. I always kind of, I'm always shocked by how many people, instead of being like, oh, I disagree with you, they're like, you should stop saying that.
Speaker 32 Right.
Speaker 2 It's hard to get people to be quiet.
Speaker 32 Right.
Speaker 19 We're with Michael Schellenberger.
Speaker 70 We're going to get some more facts on, I've just got a few questions on just the facts on what's true, what's not true.
Speaker 7 And then I also want to talk to him about this push by the Democrats to nationalize our gas and oil.
Speaker 48 Hello, Venezuela.
Speaker 7 We'll go there in 60 seconds.
Speaker 16 Tracy wrote in about his experience with Relief Factory.
Speaker 98 He said, you know, the first time I encountered the evil clown,
Speaker 24 I just ran away and everything was fine.
Speaker 49 I was pretty sure he grabbed my wallet, so that sucked.
Speaker 35 But I was happy to get away with my life, you know, instead of being dragged into that
Speaker 4 dream.
Speaker 61 But then, he just kept coming after me every day, over and over on my way to work, and I had to keep running, you know.
Speaker 52 Eventually,
Speaker 13 my knees and my lower back were so sore from running from the killer clown that I could barely get up in the morning.
Speaker 42 Then I heard about Relief Factor, and that voice came from the radio, not from the sink in my bathroom.
Speaker 51 I'm still coming close to death every day with the clown thing, but boy, do my knees and back feel better.
Speaker 82 Thanks, Relief Factor.

Speaker 8 So I think, Michael, because you have experience in your family with schizophrenia, I think it was your aunt.
Speaker 47 Yes. Yes.
Speaker 21 So you've seen it firsthand.
Speaker 7 Can you...
Speaker 104 Well, yeah, I mean, it's interesting. Of course, you know, when you're a child,
Speaker 104 you know,
Speaker 104 and, you know,
Speaker 104 she would say crazy things, you know, and so your parents have to explain to you what that what's going on. And it is a little scary.
Speaker 104 Of course, it helps to have your parents there to kind of talk you through it.
Speaker 104 But yeah, she thought that the President of the United States, I think at the time it was Ford or yeah, I think it was Ford and Nixon, that they were communicating with her directly through the television set.
Speaker 104 You know, so I think that there's a reaction that people have to this case where they go, okay, maybe he was psychotic, but there's all these terrible conspiracy theories out there, and those need to stop.
Speaker 104 Well, no.
Speaker 104 First of all, there's like we have freedom of speech, and that means that we actually let people have conspiracy theories. We let people believe all sorts of things.
Speaker 104 That's the point of a a free society. So the idea that we're going to get rid of certain ideas is a very bad road to go down.
Speaker 104 But the other thing is just that psychotic people will always find some justification for their behaviors. That's different than suggesting that those are the motivations.
Speaker 104 I do think this is something that people can get, but they have to think about it for a minute, which is that, and we know this is true for everybody, right?
Speaker 104 Is that like you have a motivation to do something, but you might give a different reason for why you did it. Well, people that are psychotic, they give crazier reasons often.
Speaker 104 But in many cases, like I look at this case, and I suspect, Glenn, that what we'll discover is that this is somebody who was, you know, he's lost. He lost his wife and kids.
Speaker 104
He wasn't able to hold down a good job. He was using heavy drugs.
His motivation was probably to somehow make his life better, as crazy as that sounds, to be a hero or something like that.
Speaker 104 He had some story in his head about how how he was gonna become a hero for this is how often these guys think by making this attack and that that's ultimately what was driving it not not like you know not some political radicalism so i but i there are some there are a few things about the story that i don't know if they're true or not i i you know i i look at these things and the reason why we have a plethora of conspiracy theories is because we no longer trust the media.
Speaker 57 We no longer trust the government to tell us anything close to the truth.
Speaker 44 And then there are these things that just kind of hang out in the air and nobody explains them and it doesn't fit in with the with the storyline that the media is is
Speaker 88 going for.
Speaker 16 First of all, does that make sense to you?
Speaker 9 You think that's right? Yeah, sure.
Speaker 104 I mean, look, here's here, you know, the media...
Speaker 104
They're partisan now. And maybe they've always been.
Although I do think there's no doubt that it's gotten worse. Yeah, much worse.
Speaker 104 A rush to make this a story about why you should not vote for Republicans. I mean, it's just so tragic.
Speaker 24 So, I just want to check some things off of a list and see if you've looked into them or if you think they're valid questions.
Speaker 39 And then, I also want to talk to you about the nationalization of our oil and gas.
Speaker 88 Boy, that sounds like a really bad idea.
Speaker 35 We'll continue with Michael Schellenberger here in just a minute.

Speaker 10 Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 35 We are back with Michael Schellenberger,
Speaker 42 who has been doing, spent his whole weekend really digging into
Speaker 17 the story of the Pelosi break-in.
Speaker 60 I just want to tick off a couple of things here with you,
Speaker 77 if you don't mind.
Speaker 7 I'd like to just ask you a few things, if you think
Speaker 21 these things are material at all,
Speaker 7 if there's reason to
Speaker 44 look into some of these things.
Speaker 16 For instance, it doesn't bother me that
Speaker 12 they first said they were in their underpants and then later said that they weren't in their underpants.
Speaker 41 Does it matter to the story, do you think?
Speaker 41 Well, we just don't.
Speaker 104 Yeah, I mean, it will matter, but we just don't know. We got to wait until the investigation is complete and we're in a court hearing.
Speaker 48 So,
Speaker 12 okay, but how do we get that answer?
Speaker 48 If they're, okay, well, I'll just leave it at that.
Speaker 7 Is any of this stuff with his, you know,
Speaker 43 his,
Speaker 78 I guess, his website
Speaker 24 being updated and switched over into his name here recently and then everything being posted on the 24th but made to look like it was posted over a long period of time does that is there anything to that does that bother you
Speaker 104 i it's it's it's weird i i just don't think we know yet i mean i think we're gonna i think we have to have some confidence that we'll find out and i i think it'll be hard for there to be i think there's concerns about a kind of conspiracy by law enforcement or the district attorney and that's just very hard to pull off when there's going to be a lot of evidence that both the defense and the prosecutors are going to be demanding.
Speaker 43 Is there,
Speaker 12 does it bother you that somehow or another there was like the security was turned off?
Speaker 50 I mean, this is, would you say this is a capital police failure or Secret Service?
Speaker 16 I mean, she's number three in line, and I know they have serious
Speaker 24 United States government security.
Speaker 88 Yeah.
Speaker 88 It's interesting.
Speaker 104 I mean, here's the thing you have to keep in mind is that, you know, a homeless, mentally ill guy
Speaker 104 physically attacked Governor Gavin Newsom of California.
Speaker 104 You know, as you mentioned, January 6th, there was a Capitol Police failure. So, you know, security
Speaker 104 is often not that good. And, you know, honestly, I've seen guys on methamphetamine do crazy, amazing things.
Speaker 104 So I wouldn't be surprised if he got through security.
Speaker 62 Okay, so
Speaker 14 let me take you to the other story
Speaker 82 that I don't think people are talking enough about.
Speaker 52 And that is the idea that the Democrats are talking about nationalizing and urging the president to nationalize oil and gas.
Speaker 8 And I think this could become popular quickly, and it's extraordinarily dangerous.
Speaker 104 Well, absolutely. I mean,
Speaker 104 what I documented is that a former Obama advisor and somebody who is known as being a moderate named Jason Bordoff at a conference last week floated the idea of nationalizing oil companies.
Speaker 104 Now, he then later said, oh, I didn't explicitly say nationalizing, but what he said is that the government should, quote-unquote, strand assets.
Speaker 104 That's a little bit of jargon for basically make oil company assets worthless so that the government then can buy them at a low price or take control of them.
Speaker 104 It's not good.
Speaker 104 And there is a long history of it. And
Speaker 104 they justify it as saying, well, these things are done during wartime.
Speaker 104 But yeah, I mean, the record of nationalizing oil companies like the way Venezuela and other countries have done it is very scary.
Speaker 104 It's terrible for the economy and, frankly, a direct threat to private property rules. So it is something that we should be concerned about.
Speaker 70 So what are the odds of this happening, do you think?
Speaker 104 Well, I think it'll depend on what happens in the midterms.
Speaker 104 I mean, I think the thing you have to keep in mind is that there was a big poll that came out that showed that I think 64% of the public does blame Biden for high oil prices.
Speaker 104 I think there's been an effort by Democrats to somehow say, oh, Biden's not responsible for it, even as he goes and begs the Saudis and the Venezuelans to produce more oil, even as he releases oil from our strategic petroleum reserve in an effort to reduce prices.
Speaker 104 So look, I think that after this, I believe that the Republicans are going to take the House and they may very well take the Senate.
Speaker 104 And after that, the Democrats Democrats are going to have to moderate because they've just gone so crazy to the radical left over the last two years or longer.
Speaker 104 I think they're going to have to moderate because I just think it's not viable to take on all these very extreme positions.
Speaker 17 And do you think the radical left because
Speaker 84 I fear the left has actually got them by the throat.
Speaker 44 And, you know, they have all the strings of the street protests and the violence.
Speaker 84 And are they going to let the left and right moderate?
Speaker 84 Yeah, I mean, look, the radical left is going to be the radical left, and they're going to be demanding those things.
Speaker 104 But at the same time, there's people in the Democratic Party that want to win.
Speaker 104 And so you saw Biden very quickly say that we should fund the police, not defund the police, because they knew it was a complete political disaster, all of this anti-police rhetoric.
Speaker 104 So, yeah, at some point, it's basically a contest within the Democratic Party between people that want to win and want power and the people that are
Speaker 104 fanatics. And there's always going to be fanatics, but there's also people that want to remain politically viable.
Speaker 16 Michael, does it appear to you at all
Speaker 53 that
Speaker 24 there are some in Washington that appear to be itching for a war?
Speaker 24 You know,
Speaker 44 the streets are on fire in Europe because the people are standing up saying, okay, this is nuts.
Speaker 67 And if this means that we're going to war, we're getting out of NATO.
Speaker 28 Things are really, really shaky.
Speaker 24 And, you know, the
Speaker 7 two countries with the most weapons both seem to have an itchy trigger finger or
Speaker 44 a spasmodic eye.
Speaker 104
Of course. I mean, everybody should be concerned when two nuclear-armed countries are fighting a proxy war in Ukraine.
I'm not sure what we can do about it.
Speaker 104 You know, obviously, I think everybody wants to see peace. We also don't want to see powers like Russia and China just go invade other countries, and so that's always been a problem.
Speaker 104 But yeah, I mean, look, I think we're, civilization is in crisis, and we need to affirm the fact that we have this beautiful liberal democracy.
Speaker 104 We have a a mixed economy that's market capitalism, and we also have some entitlements, and we have a role for government, and we need to get back to some basics, some basic moderate principles.
Speaker 104
You know, the United States is, we're still blessed. We still have abundant energy.
We have a country that assimilates immigrants.
Speaker 104 And we've just gotten some extremes that have pushed the country into really dangerous directions that I think we need some transcendent moral leadership at this point.
Speaker 82 Aaron Powell, Jr.: It's a little terrifying to me to hear them talk about
Speaker 52 nationalizing gas and oil.
Speaker 88 That was the end of Venezuela.
Speaker 8 They also have plenty of oil and natural resources that they could exploit.
Speaker 44 And they're just not because government is not a good operator.
Speaker 17 That's right.
Speaker 104 And the government has, you know, look, the government, people always say, well, what is the government's role?
Speaker 104 I mean, look, the government decides how many oil and gas permits on public lands and offshore water to give oil companies.
Speaker 104 Biden has done fewer, has leased less land and less offshore water than any president since World War II.
Speaker 104 He is waging a war on the oil and gas industry, and oil and gas are the fuels of modern civilization. It's very disturbing.
Speaker 104 So I think we need to, you know, I think there will be a big change after the election, because
Speaker 104 I think the Democrats, it's going to become clear that they've just become too extreme.
Speaker 104 I don't, I mean, wokeism, the radical wokeism that we're seeing is genuinely a threat to civilization. At the same time, the backlash against it,
Speaker 104 the pushing of trans ideology on the kids, the climate extremism, the war on oil and gas,
Speaker 104 the politicization of mental illness. People are sick of it.
Speaker 104 And I think we want to come together as a country around some basic principles of civilization, which at the end of the day are cheap energy, law and order, and meritocracy.
Speaker 104 If you don't have those things, you don't have a civilization.
Speaker 12 Michael, thank you so much.
Speaker 32 Best to you.
Speaker 32
Keep saving. Always a pleasure.
Thank you.
Speaker 34 Bye-bye. Michael Schellenberger,
Speaker 12 who I just think is,
Speaker 30 wasn't he on our first
Speaker 12 climate special at cnn
Speaker 2 gosh was he i don't even remember i think he was i think he was
Speaker 52 he was the time magazine environmentalist you know
Speaker 2 um you know of the decade or the world or whatever
Speaker 88 um and they loved him at the time he wound up doing
Speaker 3 i i thought the first time i became aware of michael was his work working as an environmentalist to saying but you know hey nuclear power is something we should probably consider here if we're serious about this Correct.
Speaker 3 But yeah, I mean, it's amazing. And, you know,
Speaker 3 if you don't follow him on Substack, he's got a great Substack where he writes about this stuff.
Speaker 2 Oh, he's really good.
Speaker 3
Really, really good. And really, really in-depth.
You know, someone who actually bothered to take his weekend to go down there and talk to the people around
Speaker 3 his home to know what was going on. We have, you know, newspapers with...
Speaker 3 multi-million dollar budgets that pay reporters who just went through his Facebook and looked for things on the right and are just reporting those.
Speaker 2 Where Michael, who was the first one.
Speaker 7 Yeah, I don't even know if they did that because
Speaker 2 it was taken off, so they just reported whatever was given to them.
Speaker 67 Exactly.
Speaker 3 There's so much. The laziness he hit on earlier is so key in reporting right now because, you know, Twitter is good for a lot of things.
Speaker 3 But one of the things it's bad for is it just gives reporters a database that they can just search and look for tweets about the topic that they're talking about.
Speaker 3 This is why you always say you hear these stories and then they're constantly peppered with stuff like one Twitter user said.
Speaker 32 What is that? Who the hell cares what one Twitter user said?
Speaker 49 I know.
Speaker 3
Why would that be at all relevant to anyone's understanding of a story? Right. Right.
But it's the nice, easy, lazy way to do journalism.
Speaker 3 Unlike what Michael had to do is actually walk through a neighborhood, talk to people, knock on doors, try to understand the big picture rather than just the one that they want to push forward. So
Speaker 3 kudos to him. And his sub stack is well worth your time.
Speaker 56 We have somebody else who worked all weekend on a couple of stories.
Speaker 60 And one of them is what happened in Nancy Pelosi's house.
Speaker 69 We're going to talk to him coming up at the top of the hour standby.
Speaker 72 You know...
Speaker 2 Why are you laughing? No, I just... These are...
Speaker 3 It's Halloween. I forgot.
Speaker 2 These are frightening.
Speaker 3 Every time you start one of these, I forget that it's Halloween. And then it reminds me of the scary music.
Speaker 31 Every night when you lay down and close your eyes,
Speaker 53 it's anyone's guess what's going to try to get you in your sleep.
Speaker 32 Could be some creature of the dark with claws as sharp as meat hooks that will crawl inside your dreams and haunt them.
Speaker 2 Maybe in the hallways of your mind, they will be stalked by an axe-wielding maniac.
Speaker 60 Worst of all, maybe you'll find yourself standing in front of everyone you know,
Speaker 64 only in your underpants.
Speaker 52 Sounds to me like you kind of need a good night's sleep, you know, and you're using my pillow,
Speaker 19 Mike Lindell.
Speaker 44 I know they try to paint him as a scary guy, but he's really not.

Speaker 3 Sign up for the free newsletter today at Glennbeck.com.
Speaker 82 There is something that we haven't talked about with the elections that are very, very positive.
Speaker 69 Daniel Horowitz points it out, he's got a story on theblaze.com right now.
Speaker 4 The coming state legislative tsunami.
Speaker 45 Will Republicans capitalize on it?
Speaker 78 And what he talks talks about is that there is
Speaker 17 almost guaranteed to have 30 governorships, the GOP.
Speaker 21 Chance of collecting 35 to 37 if it's a tsunami.
Speaker 15 By winning the governorships in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kansas, they automatically earn four more trifectas where they have
Speaker 70 total control of the government, which is fantastic, really, truly fantastic,
Speaker 24 because that's what's going to be able to shut down the federal government is if these states start banning together.
Speaker 24 And we have told you for the last couple of years, the only way to really stop this is locally.
Speaker 7 If everybody goes out and votes, you could have that done.
Speaker 60 That would give them 31 states where they can get legislation enacted into law without democratic obstacles.
Speaker 33 31
Speaker 32 states.
Speaker 47 Federalism.
Speaker 32 Yeah. Working.
Speaker 12 Have you ever wondered why federalism is called federalism when it actually means localism?
Speaker 2 Good point.
Speaker 60 Federalism.
Speaker 58 No, that's not the right word for it.
Speaker 32 I mean, technically it is.
Speaker 2 It is, but
Speaker 3 it kind of does have a little bit of a weird back and forth there. But yeah,
Speaker 3 it's a big deal.
Speaker 3 I think one of the things I've been thinking about lately when it comes to these elections elections is it's important for people to realize it's the first time you've been able to hold your governor responsible for what happened
Speaker 3 during COVID. And that means on the good side and the bad side, like I think Ron DeSantis is reaping the benefits of that, right?
Speaker 3 He's going to probably win this race by high single digits, low double digits, which is an amazing win
Speaker 3 in a race.
Speaker 56 Yeah, didn't he win by like 0.3?
Speaker 2 0.3 or 0.4
Speaker 3
last time. So this would be a big deal.
And the same, I think, should happen in states like Michigan. I think you're seeing signs of a potential upset there,
Speaker 3 which would be jaw-dropping to where we saw Gretchen Whitmer not that long ago as one of the rising stars of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 Andrew Cuomo was the most popular governor in America at one point, and now he's long gone as well. So I think
Speaker 3 we do complain often about Republicans in Washington, correctly so.
Speaker 3 But we should also step back and think about the considerably better job governors in each state did during all of this. Most of them did a pretty good job trying to walk the lines.
Speaker 3 We weren't always happy with, you know, with our state's governor.
Speaker 7 And in the beginning, you understood it.
Speaker 56 I forgive them all for at the very beginning.
Speaker 3 There's some grace, I think, to be allowed in the early moments. But
Speaker 3 generally speaking, I think, I mean, you know, look, I went out to dinner inside, indoor dining on May 1st, 2020. I've said that to friends who live in blue states and their jaw drops to the crown.
Speaker 3 You were indoor dining on May 1st, 2020?
Speaker 99 Yes, some people
Speaker 6 still won't go out.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 21 I mean, it's become a psychosis.
Speaker 3 Yeah, it really has.
Speaker 24 All right, we'll have more on the election and a couple of very important stories when we come back.
Speaker 101 The Glenn Back program.
Speaker 105 You don't technically need this car.
Speaker 105 You say that out loud to yourself. You say, I have no space.
Speaker 2 You say, eh, I'm just looking. Then you click.
Speaker 105
Then you zoom in on photo number 87 and whisper, oh no. Then you text a friend, the one who always enables you.
You say to yourself, this is the last one, knowing it is not. You don't need this car.
Speaker 2 But maybe, just maybe, this car needs you. Bring a trailer.
Speaker 105 It's never just a car.
Speaker 105 Got no room to compromise.
Speaker 105 We gotta stand together if the corners survive.
Speaker 105 Stand up straight and hold the line.
Speaker 105 It's a new day, I'm turned to rise.
Speaker 105 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Back program.
Speaker 34 We have quite an hour lined up for you.
Speaker 49 We're going to start with Nancy Pelosi and the Hammer Dude.
Speaker 39 We're going to also talk a little bit about Kanye West, Elon Musk, and the death of journalism in 60 seconds.
Speaker 39 Wait a minute.
Speaker 15 What? Wait, what?
Speaker 20 What is that jangling of chains?
Speaker 78 Quiet, you
Speaker 78 probably can't hear it because
Speaker 85 it's not close enough to the microphone, maybe.
Speaker 3 Did you forget the sound effect for your Halloween?
Speaker 32 Quiet, quiet, don't you hear that?
Speaker 21 Coming up the stairs. Could it be?
Speaker 32 Yes, it is.
Speaker 2 And every time I'm the
Speaker 33 ghost of Joe Biden, present and
Speaker 2 future.
Speaker 14 What are you doing here?
Speaker 33
I like ice cream. Corn pop was a bad dude.
And our economy is strong as hell.
Speaker 2 Wow. Wow.
Speaker 21 If I were to get my hands on some gold,
Speaker 33 the dollar wouldn't be worth a plug nickel, as we used to say when I was a kid.
Speaker 49 No joke.
Speaker 33 No joke.
Speaker 2 Jill.
Speaker 2 Wow.
Speaker 39 Visited from a spooky ghost here on Halloween.
Speaker 84 Wow, even a stop clock is right twice a day, I guess.
Speaker 45 So is the ghost of Joe Biden.
Speaker 19 Time to get some gold.
Speaker 4 I'm excited to announce that the next commemorative in the Stand With God series is launching today.
Speaker 42 This one is fantastic.
Speaker 7 This not only has the Moses parting the Red Sea, which is Ben Franklin's, this is right from him.
Speaker 11 This is his drawing of it, Ben Franklin's seal of the United States that he wanted instead of the eagle on the back.
Speaker 4 What he wanted was Moses parting the Red Seas.
Speaker 16 It's an incredible seal.
Speaker 19 That's on the back of it.
Speaker 60 The Mayflower is on the front.
Speaker 70 This is the second in the series, which I'm designing exclusively for Goldline clients to celebrate the launch of the new product and help support their clients.
Speaker 19 Goldline is including at no cost five silver rounds and five copper rounds with every tube of the new quarter ounce gold Mayflower commemoratives.
Speaker 7 These things are really beautiful.
Speaker 21 Call 866Goldline, 866Goldline.
Speaker 22 Take advantage of the special today, 866Goldline or Goldline.com.
Speaker 2 All right.
Speaker 16 John Ziegler is with us.
Speaker 7
He's got a new podcast out, which is fantastic. I listened to it this weekend, The Death of Journalism.
He is the co-host there, and we have several things we want to talk to him about that
Speaker 7 come about with the death of journalism.
Speaker 22 Hello, John.
Speaker 59 How are you?
Speaker 104 I'm doing well. Happy Halloween.
Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 24 Well, you sound like you're in the mood.
Speaker 104 Well, I got two young kids. It's a big holiday.
Speaker 81 Oh, yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 70 Okay, so, John, let's start in San Francisco with Paul Pelosi.
Speaker 42 What is your take on this?
Speaker 24 You know, being a guy who, when given a bone, never ever releases it,
Speaker 82 what is really happening here?
Speaker 104 Well, I have a pretty unique take on this one.
Speaker 104 I think everybody's wrong.
Speaker 104 As your guest in the last hour said,
Speaker 104 there's no question that the initial left-wing narrative that this was some sort of a MAGA attack is utterly ridiculous. I do not believe believe in that at all.
Speaker 104 I am very suspicious of the where's Nancy comment, and that could have been either not said or been said in a very, very different context.
Speaker 104 I think that
Speaker 104 there's a lot of unanswered questions here. I totally get the skepticism and the skepticism, Glenn, on the right on this story is off the charts.
Speaker 104 I've been spending most of the last three days on social media interacting with people about this, and there is absolutely no trust at all in the official version of events. And I understand.
Speaker 104 I mean, there's no question the 911 call should be released, the body cam footage, security footage.
Speaker 104 I understand why people are asking questions about this official narrative because the official narrative is utterly hilarious.
Speaker 21 But
Speaker 84 you do have to recognize at some point, the media has to, that they're the ones causing the conspiracy theories by not just laying the evidence out.
Speaker 104 Glenn, what you just said there is the most important point of any and all of this.
Speaker 104 It's way bigger than what really did or did not happen with Paul Pelosi, and it's a large part of our podcast, The Death of Journalism. And for instance,
Speaker 104 the election conspiracies, I blame the news media for a large part of that because of the way they treated, you know, and you know how I feel about Donald Trump.
Speaker 104 They treated Trump horrendously for four years. So it's not a shock that his supporters don't trust you when you tell them that the election's prior.
Speaker 104 So that's the media's fault, not entirely, but in large part. But let me go back to Pelosi for a second.
Speaker 104 So prefacing my answer to your very good question with, I totally get the skepticism, and I totally get, I really get the deep, deep desire, people on the right, for the left to eat it on this because of their rush to judgment that this was a MA guy.
Speaker 104 But what Elon Musk did with the tweeting of of the gay sex gone wrong theory and Dinesh D'Souza and some other very prominent right-wingers jumping all over that, I think was a huge mistake
Speaker 104 because I don't think that theory makes any sense either. Sometimes really strange things happen.
Speaker 104 Sometimes Jeffrey Epstein really kills himself in prison and somehow is able to do that.
Speaker 104
Sometimes O.J. Simpson kills his wife and a friend who just happens to be coming by at that moment.
I mean,
Speaker 104
that's the way life is often very weird. Now, I'm not saying, again, we shouldn't be asking questions.
We should, especially this close to an election. But
Speaker 104 the gay sex gone wrong theory, I have huge problems with. And I think that in a way here, conservatives should have focused on debunking the MAGA myth
Speaker 104 and making this a crime issue. and basically turned, you know, to use a sports analogy, a field goal into potentially going for for on fourth down and throwing a pick six.
Speaker 104 I don't like that conservatives are doing what liberals are doing, which is rushing to judgment without all the facts.
Speaker 104 And that's, I think, very troublesome. This is a problem on both sides, but the left clearly started this.
Speaker 8 So let's go through a couple of things that don't make sense to you that you think need to be explained.
Speaker 104 Well, I think a large part of what's happening on the right is that the fog of war is being interpreted in a way that they want to see the story go.
Speaker 104 And Glenn, you know, I've become very well known for debunking these types of stories. And I have a rule.
Speaker 104 I have a rule that if I want an outcome to be the case, I am requiring two or three times as much evidence
Speaker 104 to push me in that direction.
Speaker 104 You have to do it that way because you have to adjust for your own biases. And instead, conservatives or people on the right on this story are going in the other direction.
Speaker 104 They're taking fragments of stuff that happened in the middle of the night in the initial report. Let's be clear, let's blame the media again.
Speaker 104 The news media is not just terrible because they're biased. They're terrible when it comes to getting details right.
Speaker 104 They're just awful. And so
Speaker 104 there are elements of the original reporting that are still being used, like, for instance, that there was a third person that opened the door, that that the you know, the that Pelosi referred to the suspect as a friend.
Speaker 104 Well, those that the suspect may have been totally either naked or is underwear. All those things are now in dispute, and they're important parts of this counter-narrative.
Speaker 4 Hang on just a second.
Speaker 21 The one that says he was a friend is, I don't believe, in dispute.
Speaker 24 I think that's actually on the tape.
Speaker 12 And
Speaker 43 I think it actually works to say that the story is
Speaker 11 as
Speaker 16 you believe it is, and as I believe it is, this this nut job comes in the house.
Speaker 60 I think Paul Pelosi was
Speaker 52 speaking somewhat in code
Speaker 22 because he said,
Speaker 24 yes, he's waiting for my wife.
Speaker 24 He's going to wait for my wife, and he's a friend.
Speaker 32 And
Speaker 24 I think he was playing that to the police because they were just going to do regular dispatch, but the lady felt, the woman who was at dispatch
Speaker 45 felt something
Speaker 2 was really wrong and hit the, I don't know what you call the red alert, but had everybody race to the place because she knew he didn't sound right.
Speaker 104 That's a good, that's really good analysis there, Glenn. And
Speaker 104 so what, you know, and you're using the kind of thought process I use. I go through, okay, what's the official story? And is there a plausible explanation for everything that we have been told?
Speaker 104 And that is a very plausible explanation because we know this guy was nuts, okay?
Speaker 32 We know that.
Speaker 21 So how, but can you be nuts and
Speaker 21 take a website that's been there for 15 years and dormant
Speaker 81 and all of a sudden hop on a few days before and post stuff that looks like you've been posting for a year or so.
Speaker 27 Right.
Speaker 43 And it's all crazy stuff.
Speaker 104 Well, that's a very good question.
Speaker 104 And I totally agree that that should be investigated fully and that there should be high suspicion towards anything that points towards the the MAGA attack theory on this, because that i is is a situation that very much like I already excoriated the right for, that the left desperately wants to be true.
Speaker 104 That's always that's always one of the key points in evaluating any of these stories. How much does the media want it to be true?
Speaker 104 And they desperately, ten days before an election, want the MAGA attack story to be true.
Speaker 104 So I guess I'm saying epox on both on all sides here, but I, you know, the I wish why can't we just wait?
Speaker 2 Why can't we just wait for the facts now and
Speaker 104 demand that the footage be released, the 911 call be released? I mean, this is a clearly a very politically charged story just before a major election involving the husband of
Speaker 104 Nancy Pelosi. Look, I get,
Speaker 104 for conservatives, it's very, very difficult to believe that a straight man could be married to Nancy Pelosi for all these years.
Speaker 2 I get it.
Speaker 104
But I happen to know people who have known Paul Pelosi since his days at Georgetown. I went to Georgetown, my father went there.
There's no rumors about him being gay, okay?
Speaker 104 There's also, you know what else there isn't, Glenn?
Speaker 104 In the last three days since the story broke, there's nobody coming forward to say they've had gay sex with a suspect, which you would expect would be the case, right?
Speaker 2 With all the media coverage just as
Speaker 104 created.
Speaker 34 Unless Hillary Clinton had them all killed
Speaker 2 John,
Speaker 2 and I forgot about that.
Speaker 3 John, I haven't seen as much because I have seen a couple posts about
Speaker 3 this theory you're mentioning.
Speaker 3 I haven't seen as much coverage on that, so I don't know much about that part of it. But I do think that part of the reason why we don't get the facts on this one right away is
Speaker 3 the election's eight days away.
Speaker 3 We can't know the whole story here, which appears to be just a lunatic doing something crazy.
Speaker 3 We can't have that whole story because they need to use it for eight days. After eight days, we'll have the same thing that we're getting now with, like, let's say COVID, right?
Speaker 3 Where we're getting, oh, well, maybe those lockdowns of the schools weren't such a good idea. We'll get those after the fact.
Speaker 3 They cannot give us anything other than this was January 6th related, at least for the next eight days.
Speaker 104 I agree with that totally, and it's frustrating as hell, and we should fight back against that with everything we have.
Speaker 104 I've already mentioned the Elon Musk thing.
Speaker 104 And see, that to me is what put the gay sex gone wrong theory into the stratosphere and may have caused great damage because obviously Musk is under a microscope right now, and he is being destroyed for having shared
Speaker 104 a link that I never would have even dreamed of sharing.
Speaker 104 And here he is, you know, obviously of great prominence and being looked at with great scrutiny. And I think he lost a lot of sway that he may have had previously with people that are in the middle.
Speaker 104 And now the media is making him into an enemy all over a story that not only wasn't credible, I don't, you know, is not true.
Speaker 104 And I'll be shocked if it turns out that this is anything close to what that theory entailed. And like I said, there were other prominent right-wing commentators who jumped all over it.
Speaker 104 But Stu, your point is really well taken.
Speaker 104 The time continuum with with the media is a real issue because we're now living in an age where you've got to get the story out immediately. Social media reacts.
Speaker 104
We've come up with our own narratives that fit our own priors. And that's the story, and we're sticking to it.
The truth doesn't matter. And then by the time it does come out, no one cares anymore.
Speaker 32 Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 21 Okay, hang on just a second.
Speaker 12 We have John Ziegler on.
Speaker 20 He has a new podcast, which is really,
Speaker 44 really fantastic.
Speaker 16 It is called The Death of Journalism.
Speaker 60 You can get it wherever you you find your podcast.
Speaker 61 We'll talk to him about that and also Kanye West.
Speaker 60 A little more on Elon Musk as well.
Speaker 53 Oh my gosh, it's Halloween. I forgot.
Speaker 2 I forgot.
Speaker 64 You ran.
Speaker 20 Yeah, you ran just as fast as you could to get away from that ghost of Joe Biden.
Speaker 53 I mean, he was bad enough when you thought he was alive, but now that you realize he's just
Speaker 2 a ghost for a present and future.
Speaker 4 And he's in your house?
Speaker 28 You hopped into your car.
Speaker 49 You turned the key.
Speaker 87 Nothing.
Speaker 38 And the car won't start.
Speaker 32 Can I crank it for you?
Speaker 20 You look at the dash and see the check engine light is on.
Speaker 2 Oh, that's right.
Speaker 21 You've been meaning to get it fixed ever since it came on a month or so ago.
Speaker 24 But you haven't wanted to spend the money.
Speaker 49 Now, when you need it most, the car won't even turn on.
Speaker 39 Didn't you learn anything from last year's holiday commercial?
Speaker 2 Oh my gosh.
Speaker 49 Here Here comes the ghost of Joe Biden to drag you back into the house and you know what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 You know it.
Speaker 54 He's going to smell your hair and he'll wait until your kids come home and then
Speaker 54 he'll smell their hair and then he'll say, whatever you do, no dating until you're 30.
Speaker 49 Oh, the affordable nationwide plans from Car Shield could have saved you from this awful, awful fate.
Speaker 32 You could be driving a rental right now and getting away from the horror.
Speaker 2 Car Shield, they'll have your back
Speaker 53 no matter what time of year it is.
Speaker 34 Get coverage like I have, CarShield.com/slash Beck or call 800-391-8888.
Speaker 20 Save 10% on your plan.
Speaker 46 It's carshield.com slash Beck.
Speaker 4 800-391-8888.
Speaker 45 10 seconds, station ID.
Speaker 81 All right, we're back with John Ziegler.
Speaker 7 John, can we spend a couple of minutes here on James Gordon Meek?
Speaker 12 He's the guy who was an ABC journalist working on a book about the disaster in Afghanistan, was picked up by somebody in black vans in front of his house back in April.
Speaker 22 There's witnesses to it.
Speaker 24 He was thrown into the van
Speaker 21 and then he hasn't been seen since.
Speaker 21 And I was in a meeting yesterday and
Speaker 60 my guys were like, we're not getting anywhere on this.
Speaker 22 And I'm like, oh, I know somebody.
Speaker 85 I know somebody who won't sleep until he figures this one out.
Speaker 24 You've done an initial look into this James Gordon Meek disappearance, and what have you found?
Speaker 104 Well, you know, the reporting on this I find to be very interesting because
Speaker 104 there have been two major stories, one by Rolling Stone, one by The Daily Beast, which kind of contradict each other. Yes.
Speaker 104 And in critical ways.
Speaker 104 And again, it's hard to determine, all right, what's incompetence by the news media, which I'm always first, that's always where I go first in the modern news media, is incompetence.
Speaker 104 And I frankly think that the Rolling Stone story may have been greatly incompetent.
Speaker 104 You know, it's a shame though, Glenn, that we don't have a news outlet that would have a special entree into this story.
Speaker 9 I don't know, like ABC News?
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 104 Like where the guy, where the guy worked for years and was very, very prominent. And, you know, apparently they're scrubbing from news stories that he was the producer for David Muir,
Speaker 104 you know, because we're going to pretend that this guy never existed before.
Speaker 104 This is one of those. This is one of those classic stories that exposes a lot of what we talked about in the previous segment, that the lack of trust in all institutions, the media, the FBI,
Speaker 104 all elements of our government is so low, so catastrophically low, that all bets are off now. And that all questions are relevant.
Speaker 104 And even sometimes things that end up being conspiracy theories come from very rational people because that's the world we're now living in.
Speaker 104 We no longer have any reason to trust what we are being told. And that's the really scary part.
Speaker 104 As far as what really happened here you know the the theory that this didn't have anything to do with his ABC work I think makes some sense because
Speaker 104 there's no evidence that he went to ABC and said hey protect me here because that would make some sense right if you if you're if you're working at ABC and you know you're being accused of having like classified information related to your work the first thing you're going to do to protect yourself is go to the giant ABC use their lawyers or what have you that did not happen here.
Speaker 104 So I wish we had more information. This is a story that I think we absolutely should keep an eye on, but I don't currently have an answer to
Speaker 104 the question of what really happened.
Speaker 43 There's too many things here that just are just
Speaker 12 wrong on it.
Speaker 52 It needs some answers.
Speaker 21 And it might be non-nefarious. It might be the guy just
Speaker 69 freaked out and living, but
Speaker 21 it's just too weird.
Speaker 22 John, before you go, I want to tell you, I listened to your podcast.
Speaker 28 Who's your co-host?
Speaker 16 What's her name? Liz Habib.
Speaker 104 She's a former news anchor and sports anchor here in Los Angeles and a professor of journalism at Syracuse University.
Speaker 20 She told the story about
Speaker 53 losing, was it her parents?
Speaker 2 Her mom? Her mother.
Speaker 69 Yeah, her mother with COVID.
Speaker 42 And it was so powerful.
Speaker 38 And that's where you're beginning the death of journalism is on COVID and what journalists did and didn't do.
Speaker 17 Powerful stuff, John.
Speaker 69 It's right up your alley.
Speaker 35 Really great podcast.
Speaker 96
Thanks so much, Glenn. Hope people check out The Death of Journalism.
Appreciate your time. You got it.
Speaker 69 John Ziegler, The Death of Journalism, wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 The Glenn Back Program.
Speaker 79 American Financing NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
Speaker 14 Well, you dealt with the ghost of Joe Biden, present and future, in your home for about as long as you could take it.
Speaker 4 Yeah,
Speaker 53 it felt like four or five hours, might have been 10 minutes, but you don't know at this point anymore.
Speaker 99 Fortunately, what he didn't know is that you made the 10-minute call to American Financing days ago.
Speaker 17 You had gotten a free financial review.
Speaker 34 Staff professionals, salary-based, didn't comment too much on the old man's voice ranting in the background.
Speaker 2 I'll touch my leg hair in the pool.
Speaker 100 Yeah, so we're good paying union jobs.
Speaker 87 10 minutes on the phone.
Speaker 7 Conversation was over.
Speaker 64 And what do you know?
Speaker 53 They called back to let you know that you could pretty easily use the equity in your home to make improvements around the place.
Speaker 38 Well, you could think one improvement that would be pretty nice.
Speaker 24 So you took your phone and called up the best presidential exorcist you could find.
Speaker 91 Even arrived in a limo.
Speaker 71 Gonna be huge, huge, best exorcism you've ever seen in your life.
Speaker 49 Many people are saying so.
Speaker 16 Yes, Father McTrump showed up.
Speaker 46 American Financing, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.
Speaker 3 And place TV.com slash Glenn. The promo code is Glenn.
Speaker 69 Hello and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 90 We're glad you're here.
Speaker 21 We'd like some answers from Facebook.
Speaker 57 Facebook.
Speaker 52 How did the LA Times get
Speaker 92 the list of everybody that he was following on Facebook?
Speaker 3 How did they get it? The Pelosi attacker. Yeah.
Speaker 44 And we don't have it because my name apparently is mentioned on that.
Speaker 60 As is Daily Wire, as is Mike Lindell.
Speaker 3 Jordan Peterson
Speaker 3 as well was in some of these posts, supposedly.
Speaker 7 So we'd like, well, he was following us.
Speaker 85 I don't know if he was following, I don't don't know who he was.
Speaker 68 That's what we want to know.
Speaker 2 And was it really, it was only right-wing websites?
Speaker 32 I just want to
Speaker 3 quickly point out that it's the Glenn Beck program 9 million times. I don't even mention in the election coverage.
Speaker 3
And then when it comes to who a guy who's trying to kill somebody is following, then it's us. At that point, this show becomes us.
Oh, the killer was following us. Me and Glenn together.
Speaker 100 Us.
Speaker 3
It's the Glenn Beck program with Stu now. All of a sudden, that happens.
None of the other times, but when it's a killer, you know what? He was following you, Glenn Beck.
Speaker 3
He, I think, this man adored you. Who knows how he was inspired to do these things? Probably directly from you.
Where are the private messages? We don't know. We haven't seen them yet.
Speaker 3 Very nervous about this.
Speaker 50 May I just say for the record,
Speaker 44 Your Honor, this is what my attorney was talking about.
Speaker 14 his irrational
Speaker 32 fear and anger over this story.
Speaker 2 Wow.
Speaker 32 Wow.
Speaker 7 It's an executive producer for you.
Speaker 50 That's how
Speaker 32 it works.
Speaker 3 It is interesting, though, because they do this all the time.
Speaker 3 And I can understand when they do it if there's a manifesto posted or something that they think is going to inspire someone in the moments after. you know, like their
Speaker 3 copycat requests, right? Someone to, hey, do this mass killing that I just did type of stuff. You want to pull that stuff down.
Speaker 3
There's no reason for a story like for something like this to happen, though. They're pulling down this page.
And we, so the media narrative is he was following all these right-wing accounts.
Speaker 3 He was posting all these political memes on the right so that they can tell everybody that's the reason why this occurred and then not let anyone on the right, his own accuser, right?
Speaker 3 Someone who was being accused, essentially, is unable to even fact check it.
Speaker 3 You're not even able to go on and say, well, wait a minute, why didn't you say say that he was also following the XYZ leftwork figure, right?
Speaker 3
Like, you can't, they don't want you to be able to pick this story apart. And so they get to just keep it behind this wall.
And someone at Facebook, I assume, is telling them this stuff.
Speaker 3
Unless they just happen to be on the guy's page. right as it occurred and nailed all this, which is possible.
But if so, provide us the evidence of everybody who was on this page.
Speaker 3 Not just the people that you don't like, like Glenn, who you shouldn't like for other various reasons.
Speaker 32 Your honor, see, see?
Speaker 32 Right.
Speaker 3 Should this be kept up? Shouldn't this just be available for people to look at themselves? Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 42 I mean, if they have a bunch of hate stuff, you don't, you could just delete some of the messages as long as you could make it public to the people they were talking about.
Speaker 3 You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 Shouldn't it go to conservative media organizations at the least to be able to analyze it?
Speaker 4 Along with the L.A.
Speaker 66 Times?
Speaker 26
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Speaker 9 Let me tell you that tomorrow we are beginning to live stream the first hour of this podcast and radio program to my YouTube channel.
Speaker 61 So if you've never, if you've never seen The Blaze, you've never seen this program,
Speaker 12 it's Halloween.
Speaker 91 I'm just warning you now.
Speaker 2 Those are fat suits we're wearing.
Speaker 9 Those are fat suits.
Speaker 3 We just kept them on the day after Halloween time.
Speaker 68 I've kept myself in tip-top shape.
Speaker 60 Anyway, the YouTube channel, just look for Glenn Beck, youtube.com slash Glenn Beck. Hit the subscribe bell and hit the bell to make sure you get notification when we go live 9 a.m.
Speaker 52 to 10 a.m.
Speaker 19 Eastern Time.
Speaker 16 We hide the stream after 10 a.m., but Blaze TV subscribers can watch all three hours and get it on demand later if they miss the live stream.
Speaker 80 But that's not the way YouTube is working with us.
Speaker 12 And I have a guess that we're going to last maybe
Speaker 22 Wednesday.
Speaker 95 YouTube.com slash Glenn Beck.
Speaker 32 All right. Okay.
Speaker 70 Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 88 And oh my gosh, I can't ask him a question.
Speaker 12 If I ask him this, I know what he's going to say.
Speaker 88 He's going to go out of his mind crazy.
Speaker 69 Okay, let me just preface it with this.
Speaker 32 Stu. Yes.
Speaker 88 Your honor, I'm trying to work with this madman.
Speaker 80 It'll all be used as evidence against you.
Speaker 3 I know.
Speaker 19 Kanye West.
Speaker 21 Let's just say he's nuts.
Speaker 32 Okay, let's just say it's
Speaker 12 nuts. He's nuts.
Speaker 42 I think the guy has severe
Speaker 90 bipolar.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 3 Again, saying someone's nuts are insane doesn't make him a bad guy.
Speaker 68 It's a nuts.
Speaker 3 Maybe thing to say.
Speaker 43
Pelosi's guy is nuts. Right.
Nuts.
Speaker 3 But I think in similar ways, it seems like.
Speaker 3 You know, similar ways as Kanye West, right? It seems like there was an anti-Semitism string running through both of these people.
Speaker 56 Oh, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 But I think it's like to say that they're crazy gives this
Speaker 3 impression that like okay well they can't tell what's going on in the world like i'm summarizing what i think to be i see as severe mental illness severe and i think this has occurred this has been a situation with kanye west going back a very long time long before the red hat ever appeared on his head in fact most people on the right all agreed that he was insane for many, many, many years until he put the red hat on.
Speaker 3 And then all of a sudden, he was this important cultural icon. To me, he never was.
Speaker 3
He wasn't a genius back when he was making his music when he was saying George W. Bush doesn't care about black people.
He wasn't a genius then. He's not a genius when he put the red hat on.
Speaker 3 He's not a genius when he's saying the crap that he's saying today.
Speaker 3 I think the truth is, we should sit back and say, this person has been crazy for a long time because seemingly he has a severe mental illness that is not being treated.
Speaker 3 Now, he has pointed out that he was diagnosed having
Speaker 3 a severe mental illness, but you can't really count it because the doctor was a Jew. So I don't know if that did not point.
Speaker 2 He said it.
Speaker 3
I'm paraphrasing a bit. Oh, my God.
But he came out and he says, Well, look, it was, you know, I went to a doctor and they did say that.
Speaker 3 But, you know, that doctor, and I can't say what group of people that doctor belonged to. We should play the clip because he tries to not say it and then just says it anyway.
Speaker 2 It was a Jewish doctor.
Speaker 3 But again, like, look, there seems to be, though, beyond the severe mental illness that is at play, I think, with Kanye,
Speaker 3 a serious thread of anti-Semitism running through at least black celebrities. Like, I mean, Kyrie Irving has had another incident
Speaker 3 with severe anti-Semitism that he was criticized by his own team owner. Of course, as you know,
Speaker 3 he's a guard for the
Speaker 26 Brooklyn
Speaker 26 boss.
Speaker 2 Brooklyn. Brooklyn.
Speaker 32 Nets.
Speaker 3 And I mean, we mentioned the Nick Cannon thing, who's not a right-wing person at all, but came out with basically the same sort of theories about how Jews control the world and all of these other things
Speaker 3 that have been associated now with Kanye and Kyrie Irving.
Speaker 21 And so we've seen this a lot in at least the...
Speaker 3 I don't know if this runs throughout a larger section of the African-American community, but African-American celebrities in particular seem to have a higher than normal percentage of people who believe these things.
Speaker 3 And that's something that perhaps we should note.
Speaker 19 Your Honor, I rest my case.
Speaker 63 He has just gone after black people.
Speaker 2 No, I did not.
Speaker 58 Calling them racist.
Speaker 72 I did not.
Speaker 4 I want you to know that's not my point of view.
Speaker 12 You see where it's coming from, Your Honor.
Speaker 21 Now, I would like to say, I would like to say this about Kadye West.
Speaker 25 Okay.
Speaker 47 Okay.
Speaker 69 Now, do you have it all out of your system?
Speaker 2 I mean, I can keep going. No, no, no problem.
Speaker 32 So here's the thing.
Speaker 68 Did you see, you know, he's lost his bank accounts.
Speaker 7 He's lost his Adidas account. He lost his bank account before he started saying crazy things.
Speaker 2 Okay. I mean, well,
Speaker 32 really, really crazy thing.
Speaker 12 He's always said crazy things, but really, really crazy things.
Speaker 21 And there have been people that have said crazy things before.
Speaker 21 Who was it you just mentioned?
Speaker 2 Nick Cannon, Gary Irving, right?
Speaker 66 They didn't lose their banking ability.
Speaker 67 They didn't lose their credit card ability.
Speaker 3 Nick Cannon has two network shows that are currently airing.
Speaker 9 Correct.
Speaker 21 So we know this isn't a real problem.
Speaker 21
He's losing his insurance. Now, any of this sound familiar? He's now losing his insurance.
He's losing the ability to do any business with anyone.
Speaker 4 This weekend,
Speaker 100 the good will
Speaker 5 said they won't take any of his shoes as donations.
Speaker 60 You're kidding me, right?
Speaker 2 No.
Speaker 98 As we strive to maintain the most up-to-date product information on elevated brands available to sell, we are sensitive to current events and take action when designers and brands do not allow with our do not align with our mission and rise values.
Speaker 17 We currently are removing the sale of Adidas Yeezy brand product from all channels, retail stores, boutiques, e-commerce, and all outlets, as well as from our elevated brands tool.
Speaker 24 Effective immediately, they will be removed and placed in trash bags.
Speaker 2 So, we're going to throw out no, no, no, no, they said they were putting them in trash bags.
Speaker 59 I'll bet you they are holding them, putting them in a warehouse, and when it all blows over, they'll sell them anyway.
Speaker 32 But,
Speaker 21 can I just ask you, when was the last time
Speaker 63 the good will
Speaker 21 said,
Speaker 5 you know what, we just can't take stuff from him?
Speaker 3 I don't think I've ever heard of that before.
Speaker 19 I've never heard of that.
Speaker 27 Never.
Speaker 33 Now, who are you hurting?
Speaker 5 Are you hurting Kanye? Are you hurting the people that need shoes?
Speaker 9 I don't really care whose shoes they were.
Speaker 21 If I need shoes, I want some shoes.
Speaker 21 This is ESG,
Speaker 4 and this is not a message to you.
Speaker 68 Have you noticed the number of celebrities and people like Kanye that are coming out and saying not that they're conservative, but that they disagree with what's being shoved down everybody's throat?
Speaker 21 This is a message to all celebrities.
Speaker 33 If you step out of line, we will destroy you and your brand.
Speaker 41 There's no place to hide.
Speaker 7 This is why
Speaker 21 your state has got to ban all ESG
Speaker 15 and ESG scores from the banking, financial, and insurance industry.
Speaker 3 What?
Speaker 3 I always forget it's Halloween until I hear the scary music at the beginning of these commercials.
Speaker 31 It's not Halloween.
Speaker 14 I'm about to tell you a real story.
Speaker 2 Oh, really?
Speaker 41 Yeah, standing right there in front of you, standing between you and safety.
Speaker 2 The hellhound. Yeah.
Speaker 8 You'll see him?
Speaker 31 No.
Speaker 32 He's growling his massive teeth.
Speaker 2 My work moved me a little bit.
Speaker 91 Every muscle in his body is tensed, ready to jump, ready for the kill.
Speaker 44 The hackles on his back of his neck stand up as he inches closer and closer.
Speaker 70 Looks like this is the end of the line for you, because your back is against the wall.
Speaker 22 There's no escape, Stu.
Speaker 10 You're about to be dog chow.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 44 He really hates people who said bad things about Kanye West.
Speaker 85 Wait a minute, what are you taking out of your back pocket?
Speaker 2 No, no, no, not
Speaker 13 a bag of rough greens.
Speaker 30 It's not a dog food, I'd remind you, Stu.
Speaker 42 It's a supplement that has everything a dog needs. Be happy and healthy.
Speaker 44 Why are you feeding it to the...
Speaker 60 Why are you tossing the whole bag to him?
Speaker 3 Why am I giving this dog that wants to kill me more nutrients?
Speaker 2 I don't know. I don't write these things.
Speaker 44 Okay, I don't. I just.
Speaker 21 Is the ending supposed to make sense?
Speaker 9 No, it's just the folks at Rough Green.
Speaker 21 Folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog is going to love it, they have a special deal just for you.
Speaker 16 Go to roughgreens.com/slash Beck.

Speaker 17 The Glenn Beck Program.
Speaker 35 Wow. Welcome to the Glendeck Programme.
Speaker 31 We're so glad that you joined us.
Speaker 28 We are a week away from election.
Speaker 3
Yeah, tomorrow from tomorrow. Yeah.
It's a big deal.
Speaker 3 Things looking pretty good.
Speaker 59 Well, no, not if you read the New York Times.
Speaker 87 They did release a poll.
Speaker 3 Yeah. Oddly, with registered voters, I mean, look, registered voter polls have some value about six months out from an election.
Speaker 72 Yeah, or even longer.
Speaker 69 You know, they always like registered voters.
Speaker 4 You go when you get to poll now,
Speaker 62 you're likely voters because that's what matters.
Speaker 3 Now, if you're a polling organization that's incapable of doing likely voter screens, maybe there's a reason that you're only going to get registered voters.
Speaker 3 But likely voter screens are something very common for the New York Times and Sienna. They're both known as very high-quality pollsters.
Speaker 3
Why they would release a poll with registered voters, I have no idea. But it does show bad news for conservatives at every point.
Is that true?
Speaker 34 You have no idea why they release.
Speaker 2 No, I have an idea.
Speaker 3
What's a justifiable idea? I can't come up with one of those. Pennsylvania has John Fetterman up five.
Mark Kelly in Arizona up six.
Speaker 3 Ty in Nevada between Lax Alt and Cortez Mastow, and then Raphael Warnock up three. So bad news.
Speaker 2 And I would say all of those are worse than almost every other poll is showing right now.
Speaker 60 What a surprise coming from the New York Times of registered voters.
Speaker 3 Now, remember, the New York Times came out with a poll, with the same pollster last week where they were saying all of this news that looked really bad for Democrats. Right.
Speaker 3 You know, so it's not like they're
Speaker 3 a partisan pollster.
Speaker 75 It might actually be the same poll.
Speaker 27 They just
Speaker 41 looked at a different.
Speaker 3 Or they're releasing. A lot of times pollsters, this is a trick that pollsters do nowadays to pay for them because they're getting so expensive.
Speaker 3 They'll come up with 40 questions at a poll and they'll release five at a time so they get eight news cycles out of it.
Speaker 3 It could be that same thing. It also could be that
Speaker 3 This is a correct poll when it comes to registered voters and not likely voters. I mean, I don't think it would be crazy at all for these results to look
Speaker 3
right around rational if you were talking about registered voters. But this is the thing.
Likely voters, and these screens almost always benefit Republicans.
Speaker 3 And at this point, why would you not be applying them? You can tell a lot. I mean, some people have already voted.
Speaker 3 Certainly you can make sure that you know those people are telling the truth. At least those people definitely are going to vote, right?
Speaker 2 They've already voted.
Speaker 3 There's a lot of ways to be able to look at this and be able to tell who's going to actually have a vote that counts on election day. And to not apply that this close to the election is just bizarre.
Speaker 3 I don't know what the point of it is.
Speaker 3 Stop saying that.
Speaker 2 Well, I mean, I don't know what a rational, justifiable point of it is.
Speaker 81 There is no rational, justifiable point of it.
Speaker 3
We are, to your point, Glenn, in the Hunter Biden window. Yes.
No news that will come out that is bad for Democrats is going to come out until after next Tuesday.
Speaker 3 Then you'll start hearing all sorts of stuff. But until then, forget about it.
