Speaker 1 What? What?

Speaker 1 What? What is it?

Speaker 1 I think you're falling apart. You're losing control.
You're losing your ability to associate with reality. What? Just because I was having ice cream in Portland this weekend.
Right.

Speaker 1 And I think the economy is booming. What? That makes me out of touch with things? Yes.
Huh.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like if you were to think, for example, that the economy right now, the one we're living in, is strong as hell. Strong as hell.

Speaker 1 That's, that's, I mean, I don't think anybody who says that is out of of touch. No, I wouldn't.
Especially with an ice cream cone in there.

Speaker 1 There is an association with hell, I've noticed. Yes.
It's just a different one. Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 On today's broadcast on our program show, you are going to, you're just going to love it. The

Speaker 1 economy is strong as hell. And if you're whining about it, it's just because you don't know that you can save money.
I'm not making this up. You'll be able to save money on a coffee maker next year

Speaker 1 because of the Inflation Reduction Act. So, I mean,

Speaker 1 right?

Speaker 1 Who doesn't want that coffee maker savings? Also, we talk about the Herschel Walker debate. He did, I thought, really, really well.

Speaker 1 Banks are now canceling people.

Speaker 1 They're not saying why. They're just kicking you out of the system.
Huh? ESG anyone?

Speaker 1 Religious institutions are now being banned at Chase. We get into that.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I decided I'm going door knocking for a candidate.

Speaker 1 You're listening to the best of the Blend Beck program.

Speaker 1 Herschel Walker, he's no man's dummy. He came out a couple of weeks ago and said, I'm going to get killed in the debate.
I'm going to get killed. This guy is a preacher.

Speaker 1 He's used to talking all the time. I don't do this.
I'm just a country boy. I'm a country boy.

Speaker 1 And the country boy taught the city boy a few things, I think.

Speaker 1 It went shockingly, really well for, and I say shockingly because he said, I'm going to suck. He did not suck.
I don't think it was a clear knockout.

Speaker 1 He did really well. Yeah, there's a way that you have a candidate who's a celebrity, who's never done this before, in his first ever debate like this.

Speaker 1 There's a story that goes, unfortunately, that ends in his campaign being destroyed. He gets on stage.
He doesn't know what he's talking about. He screws up, whatever.
That did not happen at all.

Speaker 1 The fact that they don't have a potato thing like, you know, Dan Quayle

Speaker 1 on this guy's first debate and only debate is quite a victory. Yeah, he did well.
He was prepared for the lines of attack that he expected to come from Warnock, which were very predictable.

Speaker 1 You know, Warnock, I think, came off as incredibly slimy. That would be the word that I would use to describe his performance.
He's somewhat polished, right?

Speaker 1 You know, he's a, he is, he, as Herschel Walker pointed out, the guy's a preacher. He's been speaking publicly his entire life.
Right. Right.
So he was not, it was not like he, he was

Speaker 1 stumbling over his own words, or he didn't know,

Speaker 1 or he looked flustered all the time, but he went to arguments that were obviously not real.

Speaker 1 He avoided that, he was asked about what, does he have any restrictions on abortion? And as usual, even though he was asked, be clear, be specific,

Speaker 1 you know, do you have any restriction on abortion all the way up to the last month? Did not answer the question, avoided it. And he just filibustered these times.
And

Speaker 1 I think the average person in Georgia could look at this and be like, all right, this guy just doesn't want to answer any of these questions. I mean, that's a problem.

Speaker 1 So let's go through some of the cuts. Here is Warnock, cut 13, talking about Black Lives Matter.

Speaker 3 Very quick, because he told me Black Lives Matter. And if you think about it, Senator, in Atlanta, Georgia, there's more black babies that is aborted than

Speaker 3 anything. So if Black Lives Matter, why are you not protecting those babies? And instead of aborting those babies, why are you not baptizing those babies?

Speaker 1 What a great line. Probably the best one.

Speaker 1 Here he is on life.

Speaker 2 I said that's a lie. And you know, what most things I put, I put it in a book.
One thing about my life is I've been very transparent. Not like the senator.
He's hid things.

Speaker 2 But at the same time, I said that's a lie. And on abortion, you know, I'm a Christian.
I believe in life.

Speaker 2 And I tell people this, Georgia is a state that respects life, and I'll be a senator that protects life. And I said, that was a lie, and I'm not backing down.

Speaker 2 And we have Senator Warnock, people that would do anything and say anything for this seat, but I'm not going to back down because this seat is too important to the Georgia people for me to back down right now.

Speaker 1 Here he is on also not backing down on support of Donald Trump.

Speaker 4 Walker, former President Trump is also considering a run for the White House in 2024. If you can give me a simple yes or no answer, and we'll give you time to explain as well.

Speaker 4 Would you support a Trump 2024 run?

Speaker 2 Yes, I would. And let me tell you, President Trump is my friend.
Has nothing to do with, has nothing to do with that. He's my friend.

Speaker 2 I won't leave my allies, which is what Senator Warnot and Joe Biden did in Afghanistan. They left their allies.

Speaker 2 They left their allies and right now on a foreign stage, a lot of these people don't trust us no more. They don't trust us to be strong anymore.

Speaker 2 So they're waiting to see who's going to stand up, who's going to trust.

Speaker 2 And they have no one to trust right now because I said, President Trump is my friend and he won't stand up with Biden when yet he's voted with him 96% of the time.

Speaker 2 Let's be real.

Speaker 1 You know, it's interesting because when he says he doesn't want to stand up with Biden, that comes from a moment in the debate where he would not say, just right before this question was asked, he would not say whether he would support Joe Biden running in 2024.

Speaker 1 He wouldn't say that he

Speaker 1 should he run in 2024. He was like, oh, I'm not thinking about it.
I haven't put one moment of thought into 2024. Are you kidding me? This is 2022.
It's a few weeks away.

Speaker 1 I haven't even thought about that. That's across my mind one time.
Now, does anybody believe that the senator from Georgia has not thought about the 2024 election?

Speaker 1 Everyone watching that knew he was lying. And look, you may or may not like Donald Trump, but what you do know when you watch Herschel Walker answer that question is he's not lying.

Speaker 1 He's just telling you, you know what? You might not like Trump and he might not be your friend. He might not be your kind of guy.
I support him. He's He's my ally.
I'm sticking with him.

Speaker 1 That was, I think, a really powerful part.

Speaker 1 And talking about

Speaker 1 how both Warnock and Biden were arguing that everything went well in Afghanistan as we abandoned all of our allies there was a really powerful way of tying that all together.

Speaker 1 I mean, again, that's not something that a guy who's never been in a debate before can usually pull off. Yeah, he did really well because it seemed totally natural.

Speaker 1 Let me go to

Speaker 1 cut four, Herschel Walker.

Speaker 2 You know, I believe in reducing insulin, but at the same time, you got to eat right because he may not know, and I know many people that's on insulin, and unless you have an eating right, insulin is doing you no good.

Speaker 2 So you have to get food prices down and you got to get gas down so they can go get insulin. And you continue to pat yourself on the back.
But right now, families are starving.

Speaker 2 Right now, families are hurting. And they're hurting because of the bills and the laws you're passing right now.

Speaker 1 Do you know that six out of 10 Americans

Speaker 1 are living paycheck to paycheck? They just are barely making it. They've had to cut back on everything.

Speaker 1 Six out of 10.

Speaker 1 And the economy is booming? Yeah, I know. And this goes to, there's a New York Times article today with an amazing headline.
It's Democrats spent $2 trillion to save the economy.

Speaker 1 They don't want to talk about it.

Speaker 1 I mean, think about this.

Speaker 1 This is the central accomplishment of the Biden administration and of Warnock's first two years, this $2 trillion in spending, and none of them will even mention that it occurred.

Speaker 1 Warnock avoided it for the entire hour, never talked about this $2 trillion they spent. Shouldn't it be all they're talking about? Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's the biggest spending plan any of us have ever seen, and he doesn't even want to acknowledge it. Really remarkable.
Here is Herschel Walker on

Speaker 1 Warnock's church that seems to be throwing people out.

Speaker 2 Because he won't answer that about evicting the people from the church. And I told him I will pay their, I'll pay their salary.
You're evicting them right now.

Speaker 2 We have not evicted.

Speaker 2 We have not evicted those people.

Speaker 6 I didn't write the article.

Speaker 1 I didn't write the article.

Speaker 6 And most other people are

Speaker 6 going to be able to get it. I'm not going to be able to

Speaker 4 do it for each other.

Speaker 6 We have an hour. We have not evicted the tenants.

Speaker 2 And he should take that money and pay it back to the veterans that he exploited while containing a run.

Speaker 2 And see, you can tell that he's not desperate because if he had read in that thing, he would have sold that I had nothing to do with that.

Speaker 2 But he is so desperate right now, and he really wants that seat. He's now telling you, I didn't evict anyone.
It is written in the paper. I didn't do this.
Well, Senator, you did.

Speaker 2 And it's okay to speak the truth.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 1 And finally,

Speaker 1 Herschel Walker and the police.

Speaker 2 One thing I have not done, I've never pretended to be a police officer.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 I've never threatened a shootout with the police.

Speaker 2 And now I have to respond to that.

Speaker 2 We are moving on, gentlemen. I have to respond to that.
And you know what's so funny? I am with many police officers. And at the same time,

Speaker 7 Mr. Walker, Mr.
Walker, Mr.

Speaker 2 Walker, Mr. Walker, excuse me, Mr.

Speaker 7 Walker, please say a prop. Out of respect, I need to let you know, Mr.
Walker, you are very well aware of the rules tonight. Yes.
And you have a prop. That is not allowed, sir.

Speaker 7 I ask you to put that prop away.

Speaker 2 Well, it's not a prop. This is real.
And he said, I have a problem. I never considered it.
It is considered a prop, Mr.

Speaker 7 Walker.

Speaker 1 Oh, my gosh. I can't take this.

Speaker 1 It is.

Speaker 1 It's definitely not a prop. I have a pen and a piece of paper.
If the guy says, and you can't even write, and then I write down with this pen and paper, yes, I can, and hold it up.

Speaker 1 Is the paper a prop?

Speaker 1 He's sitting there and his

Speaker 1 badge is in his pocket. Yeah, you can see him reach for it.
Yeah. So it's not a prop.
It's my wallet. Is my wallet a prop? He's saying that I don't have these privileges.

Speaker 1 Now, I don't know the story behind it, but they're now writing it as if it was a prop badge, like he got it from Hollywood. It's not.
It is an actual badge. Now, I don't know what that grants him,

Speaker 1 but that's not a prop. I think he did extraordinarily well.
Yeah, and like he think he needed to prove to people, the people of Georgia, that he was able to do this, right?

Speaker 1 He was able to run in these circles and talk about these issues and know what he was talking about. And I think he pulled that off.

Speaker 1 That's a big step for a candidate, again, who's running his first first campaign like this.

Speaker 1 You know, we have not seen that out of John Fetterman. If this.

Speaker 1 Right? I mean,

Speaker 1 Katie Hobbs in Arizona won't even go out on a debate stage with Carrie Lake.

Speaker 1 I mean, like, Herschel Walker showed himself

Speaker 1 to be someone to be reckoned with. And that's a big step in a race like this.

Speaker 1 If you're afraid of your candidate, the one you're running against, If you're afraid of them, how are you going to stand up to Putin? How are you going to stand up to Biden?

Speaker 1 How are you going to stand up to Trump? How are you going to stand up?

Speaker 1 You're showing me you're afraid of a debate, of being exposed. Well, being exposed for what?

Speaker 1 For what? Pretending to be a cop?

Speaker 1 Having an abortion?

Speaker 1 He wasn't afraid of that. What are you afraid of? Your record?

Speaker 1 Is that what it is? The people that you align yourself with? Is that what you're afraid of?

Speaker 1 Well, then that should tell you something. Maybe you're on the wrong side.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 if you don't believe you're on the wrong side, why don't you have the courage to stand up and defend the things you're for?

Speaker 1 This is just, it's cowardice, cowardice all around. Stand up for what you really believe.

Speaker 1 This is the best of the Glen Beck program.

Speaker 1 Okay, so

Speaker 1 let's stop in Saudi Arabia, shall we? Remember when the president went over and said, please pump some more oil?

Speaker 1 And they said, nah, nah, I mean, we'll pump a couple hundred thousand gallons, you know, four barrels for you. But that's all we can do because you've said you were going to destroy us.

Speaker 1 And you don't seem to be a friend of the oil industry.

Speaker 1 Kind of what we do.

Speaker 1 And then he said, okay, well, can you just hold it until after the election? And then they came out and they cut it to 100,000 barrels and said, you know, your president wanted you to

Speaker 1 not know that it was going to go away before the election. We thought you should know that.

Speaker 1 Interfering with the election? Who? Biden or the Saudis? I'm not sure which one you mean.

Speaker 1 So then he said, there's going to be repercussions for that. I'm not going to tell you right now what they are, but Saudi Arabia, they're going to be repercussions.

Speaker 1 Here's Saudi Arabia's response this weekend.

Speaker 8 Anybody that challenges the existence of this country and this kingdom,

Speaker 1 all of us,

Speaker 8 we are projects of jihad

Speaker 8 and martyrdom.

Speaker 8 That's my message to anybody that thinks that he can threaten us.

Speaker 1 Okay, okay, that's good. That's good.
By the way, that's just Prince.

Speaker 1 So what does he know, right? What does he know? Just some guy off the street, Prince.

Speaker 1 Maybe he can play the guitar. Maybe he can't.
I don't know. Just a Prince of Saudi Arabia throwing around jihad and martyrdom.
What could we possibly

Speaker 1 go wrong? Certainly, there's never been any other previous consequences when Saudi Arabia has decided to embrace martyrdom or jihad. No, not with any real effect.
No.

Speaker 1 There's a thing in September that happened one time. Yeah, it was once.
It was a long time ago. It was a long time ago.
Yeah, I don't even remember it.

Speaker 1 Let me give you another story. Utah Senate candidate Owen McMult Muffler

Speaker 1 has paid over $1.6 million to Democratic firms and uses the fundraising platform Act Blue. Weird.
Yeah, now he is said.

Speaker 1 He's an independent. He's an independent.

Speaker 1 Totally independent. Not a Democrat at all at this point in his life.
Yeah. Yeah.
So

Speaker 1 you said he paid $1.6 million to well, okay. So he gets donations, and to get them, he uses Act Blue.

Speaker 1 So that is the fundraising tool for the Democrats. The Democratic Party.
Yeah. Wow.
See, you can tell he's bipartisan. Blue.

Speaker 1 Act Blue. Not like SAD,

Speaker 1 but like a Democrat.

Speaker 1 Act Blue.

Speaker 1 The campaign also paid

Speaker 1 $715,000 to break something.

Speaker 1 That sounds like a conservative movement. Sounds just like Utah, too.
When I think of Utah, I think you want to go out there and just break something.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Break something, a quote, full-service digital advertising and political consulting firm that specializes in, and I'm quoting, electing Democrats, furthering causes, and creating change, end quote.

Speaker 1 So that's who's helping him out on that.

Speaker 1 And then he paid $281,000 to Precision Strategies, a Democratic consulting firm co-founded by Stephanie Cutter, top advisor on the pro-Biden outside group Building Back Together.

Speaker 1 So it's not Build Back Better, it's Building Back Together.

Speaker 1 So he's doing that. Also, he paid $182,000 to Impact Research, a Democratic research and polling firm that includes President Biden as a client,

Speaker 1 along with other self,

Speaker 1 several left-leaning groups. So he's and he's got more than that.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I think that's enough. That's enough for me.
I mean, don't you think? There's no help with this, Glenn. Yeah.
There's no way the people of Utah are this dumb, are they?

Speaker 1 No, I don't think so. But here, I mean, I am, I'm really concerned about this.
So you think they may be? I am. This dumb.

Speaker 1 Can you get my wife on the phone?

Speaker 1 I emailed her this morning and I said, what do we have planned for the weekend?

Speaker 1 And she said nothing.

Speaker 1 And so then I texted her and she hasn't texted back.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I want to go door knocking for Mike Lee. I can't take it anymore.
I can't. I can't.
I cannot take it. I just want to sit down with some McMuffler fans and say, what the hell is wrong with you?

Speaker 1 What is wrong with you? Honestly, you don't see this?

Speaker 1 You don't get that what they're trying to do is A, run away from their disastrous parties,

Speaker 1 their principles and their packages that they've done. Run away.
They can't run somebody that can actually stand on anything.

Speaker 1 Then what do they do? Romney, I'm guessing, hoping that maybe there'd be a 50-50 split, you know,

Speaker 1 49,

Speaker 1 51, something like that. And that way, Romney could have a swing vote.
Go his way. Come on.
Come on, swing over our way.

Speaker 1 Which is their way. Just so you know, it's not really our way.
It's their way.

Speaker 1 Hey, honey.

Speaker 1 Sweetheart. Hello.
Are you talking to me? You talking to me? Talking to you. You talking to me? I'm talking to you.
I'm talking to you. Hey, listen.

Speaker 1 What do you say? We live the life of a jet setter. And we fly some American airline or something.
And we just, we set off into the sun and we door knock for Mike Lee this weekend. Oh,

Speaker 1 did a dream come true.

Speaker 1 Right, right.

Speaker 1 You know, anything Mike Lee is just action-packed. Huh? I was hoping, I was waiting for you to ask me for this.
Yeah, I know. I know.
Hey,

Speaker 1 it's one of the perks of marrying me that you never thought you'd see. You know, you'd be like, man, there's going to be all kinds of twists and turns in this relationship.
And here's one of them.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah

Speaker 1 big twist

Speaker 1 so you want to will you will you come with me i want to go okay

Speaker 1 okay i can go or

Speaker 1 okay the two of us are you all in

Speaker 1 well i you know

Speaker 1 maybe possibly see what i mean logistics

Speaker 1 rafe the we'll leave him a gun he's got the dog he's fine oh geez okay all right something happens here use the gun or the dog whatever Don't use the gun on the dog.

Speaker 1 And then,

Speaker 1 you know, Cheyenne, she's fine. He's fine.
She can

Speaker 1 whatever. Yeah, I'm most worried about the dog, actually.
That's what I'm most worried about.

Speaker 1 Okay, leave the boy with the gun, the dog, and some dog food.

Speaker 1 Okay. Okay.
Maybe. All right.
Okay. All right.
I love you, honey.

Speaker 1 I love you. All right.
Now I got to call Mike and see if I can go door knocking. Does Mike want you to door knock for him? No, I don't think so.
Because everybody you endorse loses. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 That's why I'm not endorsing you. No, you're just door knocking for him.
Door knocking for him. I'm just going and saying, I'm not going to do the typical, hey, I'm here to talk to you about Mike Lee.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to ask you, are you voting for McMuffler? And if they say yes, I'll say, what the hell is wrong with you? And this is probably not the best way to approach this particular issue.

Speaker 1 Maybe I should do it. Maybe I should do a big rally.

Speaker 1 This is not Mike's being. mike is nothing mike hi i'm mike lee and i did not endorse this has no idea

Speaker 1 i honestly want to ask people in utah who are considering this you want to come with me no i might have an extra you know ticket you'll have to go as a woman what it's tanya i'm just saying i can guarantee if look it's one thing for you to go knock doors another thing for me in a dress to knock doors for mike lee i do not think you get on the airplane if i buy the ticket in her name you just have to fly there as well Okay, I just have to be at a public airport and address.

Speaker 1 No big deal there.

Speaker 1 I really do want to ask people of Utah, though, who are considering this.

Speaker 1 I get, like,

Speaker 1 you might think, you might believe what McMullen is saying about McMuffler is saying about being an independent, he won't be beholden to anyone. But think about,

Speaker 1 think about what Glenn just read.

Speaker 1 Just the incredible amounts of money coming through Democratic power, these pipes that fund Democrats all over the country, millions and millions and millions of dollars going back and forth between these.

Speaker 1 Who do you think this guy is going to be beholden to? Right. When this is over, do you think he's going to go to the Republican Party? Do you think he's going to vote for lower taxes?

Speaker 1 Do you think he's going to do any of the things he's just, he's

Speaker 1 going to

Speaker 1 do when he gets in the city?

Speaker 1 He's going to end

Speaker 1 the partisanship.

Speaker 1 I mean, he's a CIA agent. He knows how to do that.
And it's quite clear because we know this already. The guy ran for president in 2016, and he sounded like a completely different human being.
Yes.

Speaker 1 He's moved completely since just 2016 when he was already running as an anti-Trump candidate. He's moved completely from then.
He's changed all these viewpoints from back at that time.

Speaker 1 What would possibly make you believe he will not be directly beholden to Chuck Schumer if he were to get this? What makes you believe when he says, I won't caucus with the Democrats. He will.

Speaker 1 Of course he will.

Speaker 1 He's using all of their infrastructure. They are the guy is a he's a he is a spy.
He's a CIA guy that has infiltrated so many minds of Republicans that, oh no, he's not that. The guy is a ghost.

Speaker 1 He is a Democrat. They are he's a Democrat.
The Democratic Party is currently attempting to buy him a Senate seat. Yes.

Speaker 1 If you do not think he is going to do everything he can to pay them back if he gets this seat, you are a moron. This is what

Speaker 1 it is. Not even that, Stu.

Speaker 1 You don't go to their caucus

Speaker 1 and have them throw off their

Speaker 1 Democrat candidate that wanted to run and have him speak. And then the caucus is like, yeah, we're not going to have the Democrat run.
We're not going to run. We're picking this guy.

Speaker 1 Why do you think they did that? Why do you think the Democrats did this? This man will owe the Democratic Party his life.

Speaker 1 He will owe them every single vote. He owes them his entire political future.
If you put this guy in the Senate, he will be Chuck Schumer. That is who he will be.

Speaker 1 If you want to elect Chuck Schumer in Utah,

Speaker 1 then you can do that. That option is currently available to you.

Speaker 1 You got to come with me because this is the conversation we need to have in people's living rooms that are thinking about McMuffler. If you want to have Chuck Schumer,

Speaker 1 then so be it. You can have him.
That option is available to you. But my guess is, you know, a lot of people think, oh, well, independent.
Well, no,

Speaker 1 oh, well, another reason. Be honest with yourselves.
Another reason

Speaker 1 that they're thinking that is because this story is not in the Salt Lake Tribune. It cannot be found in the Deseret News.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 people who read the papers, They're not hearing any of this. You're watching television.
Are you hearing any of this?

Speaker 1 What they've done in Utah is what they've done to the rest of the country.

Speaker 1 They've just blocked all the information about the truth and they're spinning and they're buying it. And this is your life, rest of the country, if this works.

Speaker 1 This is your life in every election cycle. You're in a red state.
And you want to have, normally you have a Republican, a Democrat, that Republican wins by 15 points.

Speaker 1 Wait until you see some BS independent candidate on the ballot. They're going to try this in every red state if this thing works.
It is not just a Utah story. It's not just a Mike Lee story.

Speaker 1 It's not just a constitutional story.

Speaker 1 It is the story of what the Democrats will do to try to manipulate the election system and manipulate the parties to try to get people who are not following things all that closely to vote in Democrats in deep red states.

Speaker 1 This is what they're trying to do. And this is also the beginning of them shedding their Democratic label.
That's what's going to happen in the future.

Speaker 1 They have so destroyed the word Democrat that they will shed that label and become something new and improved. You know, kind of like Build Back Better becomes the Inflation Reduction Act.

Speaker 1 It's the same crap, different label, and America buys it.

Speaker 1 That's what's happening here. That's what's happening here.
I suppose I should probably call Mike Lee before I suggest to you that you want to come knock doors with me or you want to, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I have no idea. I'm doing something.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just thinking, Mike may not want me to come out because of my record. He may want you to go campaign for Evan McMullen.
Right. Owen McMuffler? Owen McMuffler.
Thank you. Sorry.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Can't get that right, can you? No, it's a tough one. I have the ones that have the problem with the names.
Here you are calling him whatever you're calling him. Yeah, no, that's my fault.

Speaker 1 His name is Owen McMuffler.

Speaker 2 Hello.

Speaker 1 It's an amazing thing that they're trying to do there, and they will try it all across the country. Oh, if this is successful, if this is even close to successful.
Yeah. It's so hard.

Speaker 1 The polling's all over the place on this race. You know, most of the polls have Mike Lee up by a considerable margin.
There are a couple of polls that have McMullen up slightly.

Speaker 1 It's hard to know where

Speaker 1 my guess is the truth is that Mike Lee is still winning this race, but who knows?

Speaker 1 It's not the time to be complacent about it. Yeah, I mean, for sure.
And it is, I mean,

Speaker 1 there should be no question

Speaker 1 on this. This should be a blowout nationwide.
And of course, there would be no

Speaker 1 question if they ran a Democrat with a D next to his name. And there would be one with an I next to his name.
And if everybody on the media wasn't shutting out the truth.

Speaker 1 They were actually telling both sides. Yeah.
I don't care if you go ahead, you you know, shovel all the lies for the left. Just how about shoveling some of the truth from the right? What do you say?

Speaker 1 We try that.

Speaker 1 You think they're both lies? Great, shovel both.

Speaker 1 Let America decide what is true. That's the only reason they have scared people, done everything they can.
Have no fear.

Speaker 1 Walk through a wall of fire if you have to, but you must vote

Speaker 1 the best of the Glen Bank program

Speaker 1 peace of mind and staying on budget it seems like decades since that was a reality but that feels pretty good right now doesn't it Because if there's one thing you can expect this year, it is the unexpected.

Speaker 1 And that's why American Home Shield exists. As a member of American Home Shield, you will know your budget, your time, and let's be honest, your sanity, all covered.

See plan for details. So I don't know if you saw this, but it was great.

Speaker 1 Our president's going out and get a little ice cream. He's talking a little cone.
Who wants a cone? Mr. President does.

Speaker 1 What flavor did he have? I'm interested in that. They cover it every time he eats ice cream.
What flavor did he have? I didn't see it. I didn't see it.

Speaker 1 A reporter, believe it or not, in Portland, Oregon, while he was at a Baskin-Robbins, asked, this guy eats more ice cream than any other human. And that's the only thing I like about him.

Speaker 1 He likes ice cream. That's the only thing I have in common with Joe Biden.

Speaker 1 So anyway, he was asked, are you concerned at all all about the strength of the dollar in the midst of rising inflation?

Speaker 1 Here he is. His answer.

Speaker 9 Our economy is strong as hell, in the internals of it.

Speaker 10 Inflation is worldwide.

Speaker 1 It's worse off everywhere else than it is in the United States.

Speaker 1 So, the problem is

Speaker 1 the lack of economic growth and sound policy in other countries, not so much.

Speaker 9 It's worldwide inflation.

Speaker 1 Okay. So he's not concerned about any of this.
I'm not concerned. He's concerned about the rest of the world.
Our economy is strong as hell. Let them eat cake or ice cream.

Speaker 1 I mean, look at the ice cream. It's right here.
Plenty of it. 32 flavors.
What's wrong with people? Come on in and get some ice cream.

Speaker 1 Okay. All right.
Then he says inflation is worldwide and that's impacting everyone. Yes, it is worldwide.

Speaker 1 The question is, why?

Speaker 1 Probably because,

Speaker 1 why?

Speaker 1 Why?

Speaker 1 Everybody is in massive debt. And when I say everybody, I'm not talking about you, even though you might be in massive debt.
I'm talking about the sovereigns are in massive debt. Massive debt.

Speaker 1 Like the kind of debt, no way out, no way out. That kind of debt.
Yeah, everyone else is doing terribly because they all imitated the Biden policies and the Biden approach to the past couple of years.

Speaker 1 Right. And not only the Biden policies, but they also mirrored the Obama policies of let's bail everybody out.
How did we win in previous examples of this? We went the other way. Yes.

Speaker 1 When everyone was trying socialism and communism, we said no capitalism. Yes.
Right.

Speaker 1 We've won over and over again because we did the opposite of what all these other terrible governments wanted to do across the globe. This time we did the same thing.
Yeah. How is it working out?

Speaker 1 It's working out really well. Or not.

Speaker 1 Let me just show you. Okay, so he's eating ice cream.
He doesn't have time to talk about the dollar and the relation to the dollar with inflation because that would just get messy.

Speaker 1 He's got a napkin for ice cream, not for questions like that.

Speaker 1 So here's the Biden economist talking about

Speaker 1 what their plan is to make sure that we're as strong as hell. Cut to.

Speaker 11 yeah, I'm just curious, and a lot of Americans are curious, when the so-called Inflation Reduction Act will really start to bring down inflation.

Speaker 11 Curious? So, the many parts of the bill will start to take effect next year.

Speaker 11 For example, there are tax credits for energy to help people weatherize their homes and also bring down other forms of energy costs.

Speaker 11 So, we are focused on helping to make that transition to clean energy in a way that brings down energy costs for family.

Speaker 1 Thank goodness. So next year,

Speaker 1 if you want to spend money weatherizing your house, you'll get a tax break.

Speaker 1 Now, if you don't have money to spend the money, well, then you can't earn the money. But we all know it takes money to make money, right?

Speaker 1 So come on, people, work with me here. You got some weather stripping coming.
But also, let's not forget the coffee makers. Cut nine.

Speaker 10 The same way what's in the Inflation Reduction Act has to do with your ability to be able to get tax credits for buying, if you need a new coffee machine, a new washer, a new refrigerator, you buy an efficient refrigerator, efficient coffee machine, you get a tax credit for it.

Speaker 10 It costs you less money. It's estimated the average family will save $500 a year as well.
And just that, there are also tax credits for weatherizing your home.

Speaker 1 Oh, Oh,

Speaker 1 new windows. Keep the

Speaker 1 building doors and stuff. Oh, stop, stop.

Speaker 1 I can't even imagine the savings we're going to have. If we bought a new washer and dryer, a coffee machine, and a refrigerator, and they were the right kinds, the average family can save $500.

Speaker 1 Oh my gosh, why are we all not out right now buying refrigerators, washers and dryers?

Speaker 1 And then, and then, listen to this, if you buy a new front door that doesn't let the cold air in, you're going to save even more. And if you weatherize, all you have to do, you go to Home Depot.

Speaker 1 They've got refrigerators. They've got washer and dryers.
Okay. Wow, these guys were open during COVID, too.
That's another story, I'm sure. They got washer and dryers.
They have coffee machines.

Speaker 1 They also have refrigerators. And I'm sure the kind that you could get a tax break for.
You could also buy the weather stripping and a new front door. Think how rich you're going to.

Speaker 1 It's ice cream for everybody. It really is.
It's ice cream cones for everybody. We certainly are on the precipice of caulking ourselves into prosperity.
And at any moment, that's going to kick in.

Speaker 1 I can tell you. People don't understand that it's right around the corner.

Speaker 1 Like when you're spending money on a washing machine, on a dryer, on a dryer, on weatherizing your home, people do realize that you're spending money, right?

Speaker 1 Like if you have too little money now and you decide to go out and buy all these things, and then in your, in your, in this weird world, we're going to say you've saved $500 on it, but it's, yeah, instead of spending $5,000, you're spending $4,500, right?

Speaker 1 So that's not like, that's not the way you save money. Right.
See, this is something that I've tried when I was younger. I tried to use this with my wife.
Yeah, but honey, it's on sale. Right.

Speaker 1 So we're saving money. That she would say is on sale.
Right. She'd say, no, it's still money we don't have.

Speaker 1 And I'd say, yeah, but we're saving money. And that's why I don't have a Ferrari.
Okay.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 you never save money. I don't care how much the Ferrari is on for sale.
You still have to buy the Ferrari. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Okay, now I do have some good news. We're not talking just weather stripping.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I am so glad to hear this. President Joe Biden has signed Congress Consolidated Appropriations Act 2022.

Speaker 1 He signed it into law, and that has provided funding for a five-year research plan to be coordinated by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

Speaker 1 Now, I believe this is the same guy that

Speaker 1 was just sanctioned or the same woman that was just sanctioned by the National Academy of Science for lying, but don't worry about it. They are going to look into

Speaker 1 ways

Speaker 1 we can dim the sun.

Speaker 1 That's for global warming. And they've got a few ideas that I think

Speaker 1 it's worth the millions and millions of dollars because I don't think

Speaker 1 some people would say you want you want a what?

Speaker 1 That could turn out horrible. I mean, what do you, excuse me, you want a what?

Speaker 1 But I would say

Speaker 1 we are capable of knowing all of the ramifications of this. So, in other words, what we can do is we can

Speaker 1 put stratospheric aerosol injection

Speaker 1 in about 12 to 16 miles above the Earth. And they say that that will accomplish what volcanic eruptions have otherwise achieved in blocking the sunlight.
And that will temporarily cool the Earth.

Speaker 1 Now, don't worry about vegetation. Don't worry about anything else.
Okay.

Speaker 1 This is, we're pretty, in five years from now, we're going to be pretty sure.

Speaker 1 Now, they don't absorb sunlight. And so it's just, it's like a giant mirror.
It just bounces it. But you are rubber.
I am glue. Okay.

Speaker 1 Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you. Something like that.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Anyway,

Speaker 1 the yearly cost of the program to cool the earth by one degree would be $10 billion.

Speaker 1 And that's been corroborated by the Gates Foundation.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 we have that.

Speaker 1 Has it been corroborated by the Montgomery Burns Foundation? I think, I think, I think so. Now,

Speaker 1 they say

Speaker 1 that there might be a few problems with this.

Speaker 1 It might do some really bad damage that's unforeseen to global or

Speaker 1 regional climate, and that could affect the seawater temperature or the participation or precipitation patterns, or it could make the ocean get very, very acidic.

Speaker 1 But they say it would come down for $10 billion. So

Speaker 1 we've got that.

Speaker 1 The other things we're thinking about doing is just cloud seeding, adding particles to the lower atmosphere to increase the reflectivity of the low-hanging clouds over bodies of water.

Speaker 1 And that brings some of that temperature right out. Or there's another idea just kind of to get rid of the clouds because then the heat won't be trapped.

Speaker 1 And this is the opposite of their old plan of doing this, which was to spread soot over the

Speaker 1 north pole. Well, that was when we were worried about global cooling.

Speaker 1 This is global warming, Stu. So this is entirely different.
Thankfully, they didn't go through with that particular plan. It would have been very bad.
But now I think we've learned the lesson.

Speaker 1 And this is the geoengineering movement, you know, talking about these ideas. And I think it is important to point out

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 1 all the things you just discussed are

Speaker 1 they're not good ideas to me. I don't think we should do them.
I want to be clear about that. Are you a scientist? No.
Okay, I say we follow the science.

Speaker 1 I don't think we need to listen to somebody like you. No, that's true.
That's fair.

Speaker 1 Or the American people, because they're not scientists. They're not scientists.

Speaker 1 Some of them are.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 this to me is quite clear. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All of the ideas you just discussed are far more sane than what they're actually proposing. Oh, I, you know what? I completely agree with you.
And that should tell you something. It should.

Speaker 1 Asking all of us to reverse civilization and technological progress and make everybody, all the poor people in the world, their energy more expensive is a far worse idea than doing some research on potential geoengineering projects that might happen.

Speaker 1 You know, I'm tired of hearing you just, just, just,

Speaker 1 just whine over and over again. Are you better off than you were two years ago? No,

Speaker 1 no, definitely not. Lots of people are.
Not you, perhaps, but Vladimir Putin, the Taliban,

Speaker 1 they are much better off. George Soros, much better off.
Okay, so I don't want to hear about you.

Speaker 1 Have an ice cream cookie. The Biden family.
The Biden family

Speaker 1 is so much, much, so much better. He's an artist now.
No, no, no, no.
