We gotta stand together if the corners survive.
Stand up straight and hold the line.
It's a new day of time to rise.
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenback program.
You know, somebody
came to the house and noticed that I was flying a 48-star flag, World War II flag.
And they said, you're such an old soul, you just love history so much.
And I said, no, I fly that because I don't recognize New York or California.
And I think we should get serious about that.
I'm going to lay out a pretty strong case for it in 60 seconds.
So do you remember when it started?
I mean, the pain, the pain.
Was something that happened to you quickly, like I fell out of a two-story,
out of a second-story window remodeling my house and then laid on the
driveway for about 30 minutes before I could move.
That was the beginning of my back pain.
Yeah?
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
And then everything else just kind of like all of a sudden you're like, ow, ow, ow, ow.
If you've experienced any of this, may I suggest Relief Factor.

Feel the difference.
Well, welcome back to Stu, who is celebrating Columbus Day yesterday.
Yes.
Did you get all the smallpox blankets out to all the kids and everything?
We distributed it to Native American children, yes.
Yeah, that's very, very good.
It's the charity work we do every year.
Yeah, I know.
There's a new study out, a new poll out that shows that Columbus is actually more popular than President Biden or Kamala Harris.
Pretty much combined.
Yeah,
which is pretty nice.
Pretty nice.
Impressive.
Go, Columbus.
All right.
I would like to make the case that we move away from California.
Okay.
And we don't have to, I mean, sure,
maybe.
Call me an extremist.
It started out as a 50-star flag.
I just took the steam ripper and took all of the stars off for New York and California.
Oh, and I'm considering other states.
But
I would like to make the case that we just ignore California from here on out.
Two stories.
September 30th, California Energy Commission wrote executives at five oil companies and gas companies demanding answers for sharp price increases at California gas pumps.
The letter accused the oil and gas companies of profiteering and claimed the oil industry owes California's answers for not having provided an adequate and transparent explanation for this price spike.
Well, they
answered yesterday in a letter, for Valero, California is the most expensive operating environment in the country and very hostile regulatory environment for refining.
California policymakers have knowingly adopted policies with the expressed intent of eliminating the refinery sector.
California requires refiners to pay a very high carbon cap and tax trade fees and be burdened with gasoline with the cost of the low carbon fuel standards.
With the backdrop of these policies, not surprisingly, they wrote, California has seen refineries completely close or shut down major units.
When you shut down a refinery operation, you limit resilience of the supply chain.
What?
I think they were speaking slowly in this letter.
You could picture the person typing with one finger angrily on the keyboard.
You
ever do this again?
Moreover, California is largely isolated from fuel markets of the central and eastern U.S., and state regulations mandate a unique blend of gasoline, which makes California the most challenging market to serve.
California has also imposed some of the most aggressive and thus expensive and limiting environmental regulatory requirements in the world.
California policies have made it difficult to increase refining capacity and have prevented supply projects to lower operating costs of the refineries.
Sincerely,
Valero.
Now,
California, the governor, who's right on top of this stuff, he's calling for a special session to address the greed of oil companies.
Gas prices are too high.
Time to enact a windfall profits tax directly on oil companies that are ripping you off at the pump.
And that's only going to make things better.
Okay.
I don't know if I've mentioned this, but 17 states have voluntarily signed up for all of of California's nonsense when it comes to emissions.
Okay.
So anything they do, 17 states, hello, Virginia,
your legislature just decided, you know what, we're going to just sign up.
We don't need to bring this to the people for a vote.
We'll just sign up.
We're going to sign this.
It's late at night.
And they pushed it through, and now it's law.
Anything that California does, you have to do too.
Oh, so if California jumps off a bridge, yes, yeah,
you're going to jump off the bridge, too.
Now,
let me give you a second story here.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments over a California animal cruelty law that would raise the costs of bacon and other pork products nationwide.
The case's outcome is important to the nation's $26 billion a year pork industry, but the outcome also could limit states' abilities to pass laws with impact outside their borders.
Good.
If you want to do that in your state, do that in your state.
I don't have to be dragged along with it.
From laws aimed at combating climate change to others intended to regulate prescription drug prices.
The case before the court on Tuesday.
Oh my gosh, that's today.
California's Proposition 12, which voters passed in 2018.
It said pork sold in the state needs to come from pigs whose mothers were raised with at least 24 square feet of space, including the ability to lie down and turn around.
That rules out confined gestation crates, metal enclosures that are common in the pork industry.
They also say the way the pork market works, with cuts of meat from various producers being combined before sale, it is likely all pork would have to meet California standards regardless of where it's sold.
That'll cost the industry about $350 million a year.
Guess who's going to pay for it?
You.
Now, I am all for being decent to animal.
I don't eat veal because
you don't keep an animal in a crate the whole time.
I have a problem with it.
But
I don't eat veal.
I don't impose my values on everyone else.
And I'm sick and tired of California doing this to us.
I am sick and tired of, oh, now I'm going to pay more for bacon.
Okay.
Oh, and also this involves the meat industry and the egg industry.
So we're going to pay more for,
wow, it's almost like California doesn't want us to eat meat
or use any kind of animal products.
Wow, that's completely weird.
Who would have seen that one coming?
I can't take it anymore
why doesn't the pork industry just say and quite honestly the oil industry just go okay well you're on your own
why don't seriously why don't we let California just live in its own slop
well Glenn it's a big market and there's a lot of people there and they would sell a lot of pork products there and they don't want to lose that market so
willing to have ham for dinner.
I don't like ham.
I'm willing to have ham for dinner for a year.
If you guys just say, you know what, rest of the country, we're tired of California.
Well, and this seems to be an issue that really is bothering big
meat producers, right?
Like if this were to happen and we were just to say, well, we're just going to ignore California.
They're going to do what they do.
What would likely occur is you'd have
some of those big pork manufacturers would probably
try to adopt those standards because California is a big market.
It's a big chunk of their business.
But you'd have a lot of small producers who would be like, well, I'm not doing that.
We're going to sell to Iowa and to Texas and to Florida.
And so you'd wait.
Wait a minute.
Are you saying it'll be like a free market system?
Some people would do it.
Some people wouldn't.
Whoa.
I know.
But I mean, it's interesting the way you're talking about this because I think I agree with you.
But the.
Wow, right, there's stayed down.
The coverage of it, sort of presenting it as the right-wing position, is to
take up this aggressive form of the commerce clause and
go the other way.
Make it so California is not able to have these standards because it would affect the commerce of other states.
No, I don't mind if they have those standards.
They can have those standards.
And I have a right as a pork producer to say, not selling to California.
Yeah, screw you guys.
Screw you.
But California does not have the right to increase the cost of my food, my cost of living.
I don't want California dictating what I do.
I don't live in California for a reason.
And California is being held up as the model
for all of the United States.
This is what they want to do to the United States.
I don't want to live there.
This is totally intentional, too.
They've realized they have enough economic power to change their standards to enforce it on everybody else.
Exactly right.
And with 17 states on board, no matter what they do, think about that.
If you live in one of these states, you don't have a representative.
No, you don't.
You've outsourced your entire leadership to Gavin Newsom.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
What's the list?
You don't have the list of 17 states.
You said Virginia's on there?
Virginia's on there.
Virginia's on there.
I did a podcast with their attorney general, who I love.
Not their attorney general, their lieutenant governor.
And she was telling me, she said,
Glenn, we're not California.
We don't have that many vehicles.
We don't have, you know, it's like, I don't know, 20% of all cars in California.
I don't know the number.
You'll have to look it up.
But a good percentage of cars on the road in California are electric, not Virginia.
And so now they have to adopt the same standards and have the electric vehicles.
That's going to throw Virginians,
I mean, into an absolute turmoil when this hits.
Is anybody standing up about it?
Anybody thinking about it?
Anybody saying anything?
It is time to end the madness.
Pork producers, stop doing business with California.
I know states make a lot of money on generating their power.
What are you doing?
Why?
You are, they want you to be out of the coal business.
They are working actively to put you out of business.
Why would you generate any power for
a state that is imposing regulations on you to put you out of power?
Let them feel the full weight of their decisions.
Oh, gosh darn it.
Oh, you don't like coal?
Yeah.
Okay.
Off.
It makes no sense.
We are enabling them.
They're out of control alcoholics and we're serving them drinks.
At some point, you got to ask, who's responsible here?
I mean, I am not the person that says, hey, the bartender needs to know when somebody's drunk.
But if you have somebody on the floor vomiting, and they're completely incapable of walking, and they're like,
I think you do have some responsibility.
It's time to let the alcoholic hit bottom.
Pork producers, say enough.
Anybody who's producing energy for California, what the hell is wrong with you?
Somebody needs to stand up and say no to California.
You have 17 states that have agreed to a concept where they go out to the bar with the alcoholic and match them drink for drink.
Right.
And
the guy from Virginia or whatever, you know, some of these states, they're in the bar, like, I don't want to be in a bar.
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't want to,
I don't want to drink.
Okay.
What are we doing?
Stop it.
Okay, back in a minute.
All right.
Our sponsor this half hour is Real Estate Agents I Trust.
Do you remember when owning your home was wonderful?
A crazy dream that catch you up at night with excitement?
Yeah, me too.
Remember when selling that first home made you feel like you were going to be crazy rich?
Just get the right buyer.
Funny how some things can go from fun and exciting to, oh, crap, what?
That's when you need a great real estate agent.
You need someone from realestate agentsitrust.com.
These people don't work for me.
This is my company.
We vet these people six ways to Sunday.
We stay on top of them.
We don't take just everybody.
In fact, we take about a tenth of everybody that
applies.
And we spend a lot of time getting to know them, getting to know their practices, making sure that they have the best practices and a great track record.
And then we recommend them to you.
If you write us and say, hey, I'm selling my house here and I'm moving over here, we'll find the real estate agents in those areas for you.
It's realestate agentsitrust.com.
The name says it all: realestate agentsitrust.com.

This is going to come as a shock.
Larry Summers, who served as Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton and later the Director of Economic Council under President Barack Obama, admitted in an interview on Wall Street Week that canceling the Keystone Pipeline pipeline was probably a mistake.
And slowing oil permits and being hostile
as a country towards natural gas were errors as well.
Well, it's good that they can admit a mistake, you know.
Of course, now he has nothing to do with correcting the mistake, so
we're not going to correct that mistake.
He said, we made a mistake by canceling Keystone Pipeline.
We made a mistake by slowing down all kinds of permitting activity.
We made a mistake by being hostile as a country to natural gas.
We made a mistake in Congress a few weeks ago when we didn't pass the program from Joe Manchin of West Virginia to expand permitting.
We crucially need regulatory relief, or we're not going to get renewables online fast.
We're not going to get the transmission lines that are necessary for renewables to become a large part of our energy fast.
So the real lesson of this is we need a different kind of energy strategy than the one we've had.
Oh, you mean like like maybe the one we had before the one we have?
Maybe that one?
We need a strategy that's balanced rather than an unbalanced strategy of total hostility to fossil fuels.
And God knows what kind of total strategy of favoring fossil fuels that we've had, even egregious favoritism towards Saudi Arabia.
Trump wasn't favored playing favorites with Saudi Arabia.
He wasn't over there begging for oil.
He was putting them out of business.
Oh my gosh, these people.
Why do we listen to these people?
Seriously, I think if 10 of us could just get together,
I think we could sit down and work this out.
Don't you?
Don't you think we could just get together in a room?
We'd be like, okay, guys, all right.
We're going to stop doing that and that and that.
We're going to start doing this, this, and this.
Okay?
And the biggest thing we're going to do is leave people alone.
And I think we could fix this pretty quickly.
By the way, JP Morgan Chase, the CEO,
has just come out,
Jamie Dimon, and said, you know, you can't really talk about the economy without talking about stuff in the future.
This is kind of serious stuff.
He said,
indicators are ringing alarm bells right now on runaway inflation.
Interest rates are going up more than expected.
And unknown effects of quantitative tightening and Russia's war in Ukraine, serious things that I think are likely to push the U.S.
and the world.
I mean, Europe is already in a recession.
Jamie, so are we.
And they're likely to put the U.S.
in some kind of recession six to nine months from now.
His comments came at a time of growing concern about the prospect of economic recession as the Federal Reserve and other central major banks raise interest rates
to combat soaring inflation.
Also, the Chicago Federal Reserve President, Charles Evans, said he's feeling apprehensive about the U.S.
Central Bank going too far, too fast in its bid to tackle high inflation rates.
Diamond said the Fed waited too long and did too little as inflation jumped four decade highs.
You know, the central bank is clearly just starting to play catch up.
And we wish them success.
And let's all wish them success, but keep our fingers crossed that they managed to slow down the economy enough so that whatever it is, it's mild and possible.
Oh, okay, let's keep our fingers crossed.
You know, nobody's really telling you.
Let me just tell you what's coming.
Let me tell you why this matters.
The Federal Reserve, to be able to bring inflation down, has got to suck money back in.
The way to do that is raising interest rates.
When they do that, they're supposed to suck the money in and suck it right into a furnace and burn it so you don't have all that extra cash flowing around.
We have $10 trillion now of cash.
That's insanity.
Insanity.
So all this cash is out there.
The only way to bring inflation down is to raise interest rates.
But when you raise interest rates,
what's called liquidity, all the cash that people have,
starts to dry up.
So you can't invest.
You can't hire new people because you don't have the cash.
But also, if interest rates are too high,
those people that would invest in things like, I don't know, new oil refineries can't do it.
And if they do it and demand destruction comes and suppresses the price of gas and oil, then the banks call them up and say, you need to put some more down because your oil is not worth as much as you said it was.
They don't have the money and the whole thing goes kaboom.
And if you don't do that, the whole thing goes kaboom.
I'm in a mood today.
Look out.

I want you to do yourself a favor, grab a mirror, look into it, and say, I just want to steal that person's money.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
As we near the election,
there are a lot of attorney generals that are up for either re-election or a new attorney general.
Make sure your attorney general that you are voting for, this is probably the most important role
in your state
besides your governor.
But pay attention to your state elections.
We have Ken Paxton as our attorney general.
His opponent
is close,
and
his opponent is for radical open borders.
She has open hostility towards the customs and border protection.
She is,
you know, not necessarily somebody that Texas wants to have as an attorney general.
Suboptimal.
Suboptimal.
Yeah, that's an interesting way of putting that i would say that yes they're vehemently opposed uh to this and ken paxon who's done a good job and has been in the forefront of all of these big lawsuits trying to stop some of the egregious activities by the federal government he's obvious he's an obvious target here now he's had uh he's been battling scandals and such nothing's really come of them but they've been in the news a lot uh so that's been kind of the the the climate here in texas and the the poll it's been interesting i mean it seems like Betto O'Rourke, who has received
tons and tons and tons of money from across the country, that's the one thing he is pretty good at is talking Democrats out of their money.
They could put it into competitive races or they could give it to Beto O'Rourke.
They like to give it to Beto O'Rourke.
That's like their thing.
And while it's relatively close, I guess you could say, I mean, I think Abbott won mid-double digits last time he ran.
This is probably going to be more like mid-to-high single digits, but he does seem to be holding a pretty consistent lead in the race.
The attorney general race is closer, though, because of all this coverage.
I will tell you
that
I'm
pretty sure
that if Beto O'Rourke
wins in Texas,
I'm not living here.
Yes, you will be on the first.
I will be on the first plane out.
Because,
no.
Well, first of all, it's likely they'd pass a law banning you specifically from living here.
So you'd have no choice.
I think that would be the first thing Betto did.
Yeah.
I mean, it's, I mean, Texas could fall.
And I don't think Texans really understand that.
It's closer.
You know, again, I don't think Abbott is going to lose this race.
I don't think so.
I lose Betto.
But I will say it's closer than you'd hope it would be in an environment like this.
Too close for comfort.
Too close for comfort.
We have Ken Paxton on, Texas Attorney General.
Welcome.
Ken Paxton.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
How are you?
Good.
We were just talking about the races and how close they are and how we're going to move if you guys lose.
Ken, tell me what's going on with your ⁇ I mean, how is this competitive with you, with somebody who has open border policies that wants to be our
Attorney General?
Well, I think...
Yeah, I think a lot of these races are competitive statewide, but I think particularly the one with
my opponent, I think people just don't realize what her positions are and how dangerous they are.
So she's kind of sliding under the radar screen, and people are just voting for her
or standing for her.
They have no idea what she believes.
So you're breaking up.
Can you tell, like, what are her policies?
Because she was a lawyer, right?
She was representing
illegals, was she not?
Yeah, so she's an ACLU.
What she does is she represents the illegals on the border of people that are human trafficking and smuggling others across the border.
And she dragged them off because she believed that we should have completely open borders.
These people ought to be allowed to smuggle,
ought to be allowed to cross the border no matter what their background to this country.
How is this happening in Texas?
How is this happening in Texas?
You have a 5% lead, which is about what Abbott has.
Doesn't he have about an 8% lead?
Yeah,
it's probably, you know, every poll gives you a different number between a 5% and 8, but look, it's still, it's not that far from the margin of error in some of these polls.
And so it's pretty important that people get out and vote.
We're going to have a completely different state if we lose these statewide elections.
I just can't believe that it is this close.
So what is in store for us in the next term on the borders if you are elected?
What are you working on now?
So we continue to fight the Biden administration.
It's unfortunate that we had a pretty successful run on the Remain in Mexico program.
And the Supreme Court ended up agreeing after we'd won all the way up to the Fifth Circuit and thought we had, you know, the language on our side, which said that you're not supposed to let people that come in and claim asylum stay
until their hearing, unless they're either detained or sent back to their country of origin.
And somehow the Supreme Court maneuvered around that.
But we continue to fight on keeping people who are criminals out.
And believe it or not, the Biden administration has tried to relax those rules and allow criminals to cross the border.
We try to keep terrorists out.
We try to keep, we're trying to use Title 42.
We still have that in place.
So, I mean, as bad as it is, it could be worse.
It's hard to believe, but it could be worse, and it will be worse if we lose these elections.
If Carrie Lake wins in Arizona, do you foresee an ally here with Texas?
I mean, she's very strong.
I mean, she's probably the strongest, at least in her campaign rhetoric, than anybody.
I'm very hopeful.
I've met Carrie Lake several years ago,
and I'm very hopeful that if she wins, we'll have a really strong ally as it relates to the border.
If we lose Arizona and Texas,
We have nobody on the border fighting against the Biden administration policy.
That's even scary to think about.
That's why these elections are so critical to the country, not just to Texas and Arizona, but they're critical to the country.
I know.
Isn't it strange
that in these states, like she's only ahead by a couple of points, maybe five points.
Isn't it odd that the issues are this big
and we're this close?
No, I don't get it.
I don't understand how we can have this much trouble in America two years into the Biden administration, not even two years.
And look, you look at the border, you look at inflation, you look at energy prices, you look at what's going on internationally.
Everything's as bad as it can be
in a period of time that was pretty short.
So they purposely have done these things.
And yet, some of these elections are close.
You'd think that the American people would understand that and not want what they're experiencing now.
And want to go back to more of what we had under the Trump administration, which is a lot better situation for just about everybody in America.
Ken,
how can we help?
If somebody is listening and they want to be involved and campaign with you or donate to you, what can we do?
Well, we definitely need money.
I spent a lot of money in the primary, so it'd be nice to have some help now.
I'm at kenpaxet.com.
You can donate, or you can volunteer to help us get the vote out.
We need to get the vote out.
And if people think that we've got it, that's exactly when we lose it.
So if we get our vote out, we can win this thing.
So, Ken,
you've been watching what's happening at the polls and everything.
Are you convinced that we're going to have free free and fair elections in Texas?
I'm never convinced of that, especially given the Court of Criminal Appeals striking down my ability to prosecute voter fraud, and I mean the Attorney General's ability.
That was the check on local district attorneys because local district attorneys and some of these big counties are put in there by Soros and they're not going to prosecute voter fraud.
So I am concerned about it.
I think we've got to watch the polls carefully and we've got to fix this in the next legislative session or I will predict that we'll lose Texas in the next four to six years.
And once we we lose it, they will fix the elections in a way that we'll have mail-in ballots going out everywhere and we'll never build a one again.
Ken Paxton, thank you very much.
I really appreciate it.
Have a great day.
You bet.
Texas, wake up.
Wake up.
Everybody has to have this marked on their calendar throughout the country.
You cannot miss Election Day.
It is way too important.
You can read more about
Ken Paxton.
You follow him on Twitter at Ken Paxton TX,
or you can see him at the Texas Attorney General.gov.
What did he say his website was for helping out?
You have it?
Kenpaxton.com.
Okay.
All right.
Coming up, we are going to talk a little bit about
the
vote and some things that are turning
in the Republicans' favor still very, very close, but some things that are
some good things.
Also,
I'm loving how they're covering this.
They're like, you know, the momentum seems to be,
I mean, like, they're almost basically saying we're worried the momentum is stopping.
Now, of course, as we covered on the show, I never saw the signs of this momentum that they seem to be envisioning for the election.
But they are now, even the mainstream media is, is admitting this is tightening and going against their long-term narrative here that abortion is going to bring bring the Democrats across the finish line to a historic victory.
Still, you know, look, they could win.
Especially the Senate is very, very close.
But
this is turning around on them.
And I think, you know, you saw J.D.
Vance with a solid debate over the weekend.
Oh, man,
I saw clips of that and then I read the coverage of it.
Oh, my gosh.
We watched two different debates.
Yes.
We watched two different debates.
That is the media's job right now, is to create an alternate universe in which their candidates win.
So here's something from the New York magazine.
New York Magazine just did a sit-down interview with John Fetterman.
He struggles with auditory processing and speaking.
And while he was speaking to the New York magazine,
He had difficulty understanding this according to the magazine a basic
He had difficulty with basic communication
and during the video call, he had to use closed captioning to understand the questions, reading them in real time.
In our 50-minute conversation, the reporter wrote, I could see his eyes moving swiftly across the computer screen as he read and responded to my questions in real time, including moments where it was clear Fetterman's vexation
amplified his communicative challenges.
They said he was lucid, animated, and eloquent in the interview.
I'm sure he was eloquent.
I'm sure he was eloquent.
Yeah.
At one point, when we were talking about his work to address crime on gun violence, while Mayor of Braddock, Fetterman said what sounded like a nonsense word, what sounded like, okay, it wasn't, but it sounded like.
To have an actual
demicated, he paused, excuse me, dominicated, he paused again, getting frustrated.
Yeah,
this is the stroke right here.
Then he took a breath.
Documented.
Documented.
That's eloquent.
Oh, wow.
What an eloquent word.
Again, he wasn't eloquent before this.
No.
He's just
a big buffoon.
You know, he's like a,
he's like Frankenstein, right?
Really?
This was him before he had a stroke.
Like, the stroke stuff is really alarming because, A, you worry about his actual health as a human being.
And B, if he's going to be in the Senate, you have a guy who's incapable of doing the basic things he needs to do at this job.
He needs closed captioning to be able to understand the conversation.
I don't hold it against stroke victims, but is this guy capable of being in the Senate
and making decisions?
Or is he going to be in the elevator going, I don't understand what you're saying?
Too much, too many people talking around me, and I can't hear you.
I don't know.
This is not good.
No.
And he was never going to be a good senator anyway.
I mean, and tell me, enlighten me,
Fedderman, about all of the things you did to stop gun violence from your mom's basement as you were mayor of Braddock, a population 1,721.
Tell me all the things you did to stop gun violence then.
He got out of his house, his mom's house.
Give me a break.
And he chased a black guy down because.
Hey no, that's his story.
That is his story.
That is legitimately.
He held an African-American who was innocent at gunpoint that is his argument because he saw him running in his neighborhood
and he thought this guy's up to no good yeah that was this is this is the enlightened mayor of braddock yeah who's going to be uh the senator from pennsylvania really
really
I
just can't understand it.
Now, I don't know where this is going to happen.
I think it's this week we have the debate between Oz and Fetterman, supposedly, if he shows up, if Oz
can go and actually have an opponent in this case.
Will Fetterman show up to this?
I don't know.
I mean, honestly, if you were him, if you were his campaign, Glenn, no,
you'd come up with something.
Yeah, don't cope.
I'm really concerned.
They've got termites.
Holy crap.
The termites in this guy's house right now.
Yeah.
We got to stop them.
Fancy a merchant.
You know, they give me this big window.
The cable guy was going to come out and they gave us this window from noon to noon.
Yeah.
You know, and wow, we just.
Gosh darn it, I want to leave, but I've been waiting for this appointment for so long.
Memories can be a lot like the old game telephone.
You pass them on to your kids, they pass them on to theirs, and by the time things get down a generation or two, they start to change.
It's one of the reasons the invention of things like photographs and home movies are so important.
Problem, of course, is that those old formats don't hold up forever.
Eventually they fade.
Memories that we carry fade right along with them.
And then you're just back to the old game of telephone and eventually everything is forgotten.
You owe it to your family to safeguard these memories.
You know, I was just telling a friend: one of the things I love about
the people of Utah is the people that came over for religious reasons and left the United States because they were being chased and settled there in
the territory of Utah.
They make journals and keep diaries.
And so they know all these fantastic stories from generations past.
This is our diary, our journal.
Keep this stuff for your kids, please.

The Glenbach program.
It was on this date,
21 years ago, October 2001, it was a month after the World Trade Center, that we started the Crayon Coalition.
asking kids to write letters of love and hope to those kids in Afghanistan.
Completely forgot about the crayon coalition.
Something really cool that this audience did.
And somewhere in Afghanistan, a kid got that letter and he grew up to help the military,
which was a great story until we left him there to die.
He's like, wait a minute.
Wait.
Oops.
Sorry, guys.
And then they're like, wait, the guy who sent us the crayon letters is the guy trying to rescue us?
What the hell is going on?
I mean, it was nice to get the letter, but can the military help out here?
You have such a way of wrecking every nice warning story.

It's a wonderful day I'm tired of rise.
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glen Beck program.
Hello, you sick twisted freak?
Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
Well, let's see.
What do we have?
What could possibly
what could possibly be the unexpected today?
I've got one.
How about Randy Weingarten, you know, the head of the teachers union?
You can't make this up.
She is this morning at the battlefront in Ukraine quoting her, assessing the situation.
Okay,
I don't even.
Okay.
Yesterday, our first cyber attack from Russia happened.
We'll tell you about that.
A ESG update that is very concerning and a little bit of hope and courage coming your way.
We begin in 60 seconds.
So the line has been drawn in the sand for quite a while now, and that line isn't between Democrat and Republican or conservative and liberal.
It is between Americanism and leftism or, honestly, good versus evil.
That's what we're really battling, good versus evil.
One of the best ways to fight back against the leftism that is in our schools is absolutely everywhere, is to have a parallel economy.
Support businesses that hold to the same values that we do, and they are out there.
Now, don't do it if they're offering, you know, shoddy service or they're going to cost you an arm and a leg.
You have to be smart, too.
You need something that is good, cost-efficient, and
serves your values.
Okay, got it.
It's Patriot Mobile.
They are exactly that kind of company.
They have plans to fit any budget, 100% U.S.-based customer service team.
They're on the same cell tower, so they have the same great coverage.
And Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, sanctity of life.
Veterans, first responders, they're one of us.

All right, over a dozen major national airports reported cyber attacks yesterday.
These were only public-facing websites going offline.
So, you know, it's just an inconvenience to you.
They weren't taking down airports.
Thank God, weren't in the air traffic control system.
But there were several, including Des Moines International Airport.
Des Moines International Airport.
Come on.
What do you fly to Canada?
Anyway, Des Moines International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, LaGuardia, Hartsfield, Jackson, that's Atlanta International Airport,
Chicago, O'Hare.
They were all impacted yesterday.
People were going to the websites and trying to figure out if everything is on time.
All of them were down.
It was a denial of service attack.
And it appears that the Russian hacker group Killnet
is behind the attacks.
They have been very active since the invasion of Ukraine.
They're focusing on targeting Ukraine's allies.
This does not happen in Russia unless Putin is aware.
Killnet took credit for taking down the U.S.
government website in Kentucky, Florida, Alabama, and Indiana.
They were the ones that hacked into Congress's website and organizations in Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Italy, and Estonia.
They are a front for
the state over in
Russia.
So we got that going for us.
Now, let me take you to the front of Ukraine.
What the hell is the president of the American Federation Teachers Union doing in Ukraine?
Quoting her, woke up this morning to reports of disgusting Russian missile strikes in Kyiv and other cities.
Heading to the border now to assess the situation.
You're the head of a teachers union.
What are you doing?
What are you
This Russian attempt to frighten civilians and the effect on children who are learning online every day.
This is why, the Ukrainian flag emoji, that's why this trip is so important.
Oh my gosh.
Now, if you think she's over there, what is this, a tourist thing?
She is over there because we have a private-public partnership.
with the teachers unions.
I can guarantee you, we send them this much money.
You know, well, let us help you with your schools.
Let us help.
Really?
No thanks to the communist stuff, okay?
But they don't say that now.
The ATF was invited, or AFT was invited to the Ukrainian Teachers Union, the Trade Union of Education and Science Workers, to bear witness and to call attention to the effects on children, family, and educators, and the impact of Russia's attacks on democracy and democratic institutions.
I think I'm going to be sick.
Really?
The people who didn't see the impact to our kids with COVID, they're over trying to preach to us and the rest of the world the impact.
We are headed towards war.
Oh my gosh.
All right, let me tell you something else.
There was great, there has been great,
great
progress made on the ESG front.
Mainly, I think, because of this audience.
You got it out.
You understood it first and you've been teaching it to your friends and your family.
And you have gotten your states to wake up and stand up.
We saw big, big progress being made.
Just yesterday, we had the AG on from
Louisiana, and he has pulled almost a billion dollars out of BlackRock.
I told you yesterday, BlackRock and all those for ESG, they are
freaking out.
And they are not going to just go away.
It's not like you wake up and go, I don't like that ESG.
And they go, okay, you caught us.
There are trillions, literally trillions of dollars, 60 trillion, to be exact, at stake.
They're not just going to let go of this.
So we have to watch people closely.
There is a major right-wing think tank that is right now on the right, somebody that I have trusted for a very long time, pushing hard against the S and the G part on ESG.
You know, the part that protects you.
They're all about the E part.
Yeah, we need to help these energy companies.
We need to, well, what about the S and the G?
Because that's everybody else.
My guess is that Team BlackRock has an N or some sort of a lever inside of this think tank.
We've been trying to get to the bottom of it literally almost 24 hours a day over the last four days.
Something happened on Saturday, yeah, because I was traveling.
Something happened on Saturday, and I said, that can't be, that can't be.
Yeah, it actually is.
It's really disheartening.
Because I was very close to the founder of this organization,
and he would not have approved of this.
And I'll give you all of the details after I find out for sure that they are sticking to it.
But here's what's happening.
I got word last night that this group is going into states that were on track to take the full ESNG out.
And
the legislature was moving in this way.
And they are going into these places and spooking them into introducing watered-down measures that won't stop ESG or provide any protection for you.
And the word is, it's just too dangerous.
It's just too, I mean, it's going to, look, it's going to happen anyway.
Just do the E.
Just let's get the E done.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Now,
worse than that, this organization has been threatening the donors of my partner organizations, the organizations like Wall Builders and the Heartland Institute.
They have been threatening
mutual donors of both organizations.
And they're going to the donors that they know that donate to these other organizations, and they're saying, Look, you're going to get you in trouble.
It's the S and the G.
You don't want to be involved in that.
So I would call them and tell them to back out of the S and the G.
Otherwise, you're not going to be able to donate to them because I just, I'm telling you, it's dangerous.
And they they are spooking now anybody who is a donor to those organizations
if you let me just say this I know that one of them has lost about a million dollars
and that's a big part of their budget
if
you have the balls to stand up and do what is right may I suggest you make a donation to the Heartland Institute.
Heartland Institute.
They're going to continue to fight it, but they're going to lose these donors if
this continues like it looks like.
I thought it would be done with a couple of phone calls.
I thought we'd call and go, hey, guys, you're not really doing this.
No, no, they are so far.
And I'll give you the information on that when I am completely buckled down.
But please donate to the Heartland Institute or Wall Builders.
We
are going to need your help.
And this is a major right think tank.
One that I have trusted for years.
I've written checks to, and it will kill me
to expose them and tell you what they're doing behind the scenes if this is what they're doing.
But let the chips fall where they may.
Support those who are standing strong on principle.
Run from anybody who is like, well, you know, let's just take care of the energy part.
You know,
social credit scores, they're not so bad for the average.
Run from those people.
They have been compromised.
I encourage you to donate to some of the organizations that are on the front lines on this, and that's Wall Builders and the
I almost said the other group,
Wall Builders and the Heartland Institute.
They are two of them that are on the front lines of this.
Any one organization that is standing and making a difference and refusing to compromise,
I will not comply.
Support those people because
things are getting even more dicey.

So once in a while, in fact, almost every day, somebody comes to me and says, hey, Glenn, we'd like to get your input on something.
We really like you to, hey, I wrote this book.
I'm like, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.
But once in a while, there is a story that is so worth it that I agree to help them and bring them on the air and talk about it this is not a book this is a story that I think fits today
and this is a group of people that want to produce this as a four-part series
with Angel Studios can I say that yeah angel studios Matt Whitaker is with us he is the director and co-writer of truth and Conviction, a story that you've been on for 20 years.
Yeah, a little over 20 years.
And you were lucky enough to meet a lot of the people that were part of it originally.
Yeah, so yeah, just over 20 years ago, I heard about this group, these teenagers in Nazi Germany who ran a resistance group who stood up to Hitler.
And I found out that the last surviving member of that group lived.
like about an hour away from me.
So we literally just opened the phone book and found his name.
That's crazy.
Called him up and said, hey, you know, would you share your story with us?
And he was like, yeah, sure, come on up.
So I went up and met this man named Karl Heinz Schnibbe, who was at that point in his late 70s, sat down, heard his story, and was just, just blown away.
So tell me, this story is about a guy named Helmuth Huebner, right?
Right.
Helmut Hubner.
Hubner.
And
he was 16?
16 years old, 1941.
At the time, he was like on the Nazi Party fast track.
He was working at City Hall in Hamburg.
He was a member of the Hitler Youth, kind of just buying into everything that Gerbold was saying on the radio.
And then his brother, his older brother, who was serving in the German army in France, smuggled home a shortwave radio.
And Helmut started secretly listening to that, which was a capital offense.
Yeah,
in fact, I showed you in my office, I have what I like to call...
Facebook of the olden days,
a radio that
would not pick up any signal from any station other than the approved Nazi stations.
And that's all you could buy and have.
That's right.
That's all he had access to until he starts tuning into this shortwave radio.
And at the time, the BBC was broadcasting in the German language because they knew that that could get through.
And so Helmut, the 16-year-old kid, starts listening to these, realizes he's hearing the truth for the first time.
Somehow is able to kind of discern what I'm hearing from Goebbels is not accurate.
You know, it's really strange.
I just had a
psychology professor on with me from Europe, and he wrote the
psychology of totalitarianism.
And he said, and I can't remember,
do you remember, Sarah?
He said 10 or 20% of the population is not susceptible to what's going on right now.
You know, this mass hypnosis all over the world that is happening.
Helmuth must have been one of those kind of people that just all of a sudden, he knew it wasn't right once he was allowed to hear the truth.
That's right.
Once he figured out, okay, what I'm hearing from the BBC is the truth, what I've been hearing otherwise isn't, he realized that.
But then what's important to me is that he took the next step.
He decided, I have to do something about it.
So he picked up really the only weapon he knew how to use, and that was the typewriter.
He was a brilliant writer.
At 16.
At 16, and he started typing up these anti-Hitler leaflets.
At first, he started out even have like a little, on these little kind of quarter-sized red sheets that he would just kind of put these really concise anti-Hitler messages.
Examples of them.
So these are some replicas that we've had done up there in English so that
you can read it.
Down with Hitler, people's seducer, people's corrupter, people's traitor, down with Hitler.
That's a capital offense.
You die for this.
Yeah, that's and that's.
Did he know that?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, he understood that.
Now he was 16, so there must have been some, you know, a little bit of I'm immortal, maybe a little bit to that, but he was a really bright kid as well, and he knew it.
And I love even from this example where it says the people's seducer, if you read that in German, it's the Folks Verführer.
So he adds this little prefix of VER at the front of the word Führer.
So instead of saying the people's leader, it says the people's seducer.
Just this really clever little play on words.
Who, I saw that
Dietrich Bonhoeffer made those same references years earlier.
So there's some evidence that Helmut was even pulling from Bonhoeffer.
We know that he was weaving together other band authors like Shakespeare and Schiller and Heinrich Mann and these and just kind of weaving them together in these, starting with these little quarter-size sheets, but eventually at a certain point that wasn't enough.
So he went to the
full-size sheet, no margins, just cramming as many words as he possibly could onto these leaflets.
So
wow, a new year has begun, a year in which Hitler has set all of his last hopes into the struggle, which is fact.
It's already hopelessly lost.
1942, the year of decision, will decide decisively, we are told.
It will show until now, deeds still triumph over words, even when these words, one is tempted to say these.
dictionaries full of words spring from the mouth of a certain hair Dr.
Joseph Goebbels.
So this guy, he was not, this kid was not just writing this by himself.
I mean, he was writing it by himself.
Right.
But he was also going to church, and
the church was against this.
The bishop of the church even had put out a...
Yeah,
he put a sign on the door which said, no Jews allowed.
Especially poignant because they just had one Jewish convert that attended this congregation, and he happened to be a good friend of Helmut's.
And so that for Helmut was one of the last straws as well.
He started finding the truth, but also when that happened, when his friend Zalomon was arrested by the Gestapo and taken to a concentration camp, that was kind of the last straw, and he started putting out these flyers at night.
And the church, like most, I mean, most churches in Germany just had gotten really dark.
This church was just,
were they actually anti-Jewish?
Are they trying to...
No, yeah, in fact, that was really an exception.
You know, most of the other branches of this church throughout Germany, as far as we know, none of the others put that kind of a sign on the door.
It's interesting that this bishop that they had, though, he was, I've met with his sons, you know, and they talk about, you know, he was really a good man.
He was also a devout Nazi.
So this is, but that's weird.
Yeah.
Devout Nazi, good man.
This is the kind of decisions that we are facing now.

We're with Matt Whitaker.
He is the director and co-writer of
a series called Truth and Conviction that is still on the storyboard.
They're going to be fundraising here soon.
He's with
Angel Studios.
And
this is a project.
I love this story because it's about teenagers in Germany that risked their life
and
did make an impact.
So
tell me the story.
So this 16-year-old kid, Helmut Hubner, learns the truth, picks up the weapon he knows, which is a typewriter, starts typing up the truth on these little flyers and leaflets.
At first, he's by himself going out on the streets of Hamburg at night, posting them up, extremely dangerous.
But he reaches a point where that's not enough, so he recruits his two best friends from church.
Jeez.
And, you know, he's 16, they're 17 and 15.
And the three of them, they actually sneak in the church and start cranking off copies on the mimeograph machine and then going out and just.
And nobody at church knows this.
No, nobody at church knows this at all.
And
they're posting these out for about a year.
Well, of course, the Gestapo is, you know, some of them are being turned in.
And the Gestapo is finding these and then just seeing how dangerous they are.
You know, at that point, for the Gestapo, the typewriter is more dangerous than the pistol.
Sure.
Because they can take pistols away.
They can take those away.
But what somebody believes in their mind,
that's much more difficult.
So they were very threatened.
They were convinced that it was a university professor that was writing these, some sort of communist university professor they were trying to track down.
So for a year, they were relentlessly pursuing them.
And one Gestapo agent in particular, Agent Musner was his name, and he was just obsessed with finding out who was doing this.
And so, really, that whole time that Helmut and his friends were putting these out, the agent is trying to track him down, and they operated for about a year.
And then, before eventually, he was tracked down at his work at the city hall in Hamburg
and was arrested.
And they arrested Helmut first.
He had made a promise to his friends that, you know, if any of us get caught, don't turn in the others.
And he was able to keep that promise for about five days.
We Vesa making you talk.
Yeah, and that's exactly what happened.
I've read some of the documentation about that interrogation process where they use terms like, we used assiduous persuasion,
you know,
these euphemisms that would, but eventually after five days, they broke him.
They were at first trying to get him to say, who's the adult behind this?
Who's writing these?
You know, who is that?
They thought for sure there was somebody.
This kid was just the paperboy, you know?
But eventually they realized this is the kid that he writes.
He admit that, that he right away.
In fact, he admitted that right away.
Yeah, he said, I'm the one doing this.
I'm doing it alone.
It's just me.
After five days, they broke him.
He gave the names of his friends.
They arrested Carl and Rudy.
And the three of them were also tortured and interrogated and held.
And then on August 11th of 1942, so 80 years ago, this past August, they stood in the highest court in Nazi Germany, a Hitler-appointed judge.
And
it was a kangaroo court, of course.
They had Nazi-appointed attorneys to represent them and that kind of a thing.
But
for me, the most powerful part, and this will be the climax of our four-part series, is when this now 17-year-old Helmut Huebner stands up and decides he can see they were going to go after Carl, his older friend, who had turned 18.
So he was the adult, and
Helmut realized that they were going to go after him.
And so
make him the king penny.
That's right.
And hang him out to dry.
That's right.
Hang him out to dry.
So Helmut, and Carl told me this personally.
He could see it happening.
He watched Helmut stand up, literally and figuratively, stand up and take all of the attention on himself.
And he started getting in the face of that judge and exposing the lies that the judge was telling in the court.
And they have this interchange back and forth.
And he really...
This can all document it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
I'd love to see this.
Yeah, it's incredibly powerful.
But at the end, it worked.
He took all the attention on himself.
He was sentenced to death for his actions.
His two friends were sentenced to years of hard labor.
But they lived.
And something that's really important to me is just minutes after that.
And Carl tells about how they were all moved into this little cell and kind of the last few minutes together.
As Helmut, who was telling them, please, you know, don't forget what we did, you know, that kind of a thing.
His last two words to his two best friends were, remember me.
And I think that word remember is so important.
They spent, his two friends spent the rest of their lives trying to tell this story, you know, and giving an example of what it means to what it meant then.
And he's never been made about this.
No, they've been, I made a documentary for PBS 20 years ago, and it's while I was doing that that I just realized, you know, this is a story that changes people who hear it, and it needs to reach a much broader audience, which is.
Especially teens.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
You know,
our generation, my generation, the X-Gen, Gen Xers and boomers and that kind of thing, we're going to be drawn to this kind of story for teenagers to see kids their own age that are standing up for what is right.
You know, Carl told me they were, you know, in their church, they were raised singing that old traditional Christian hymn, do what is right, let the consequence follow.
And that's exactly what they did.
You know, they stood up, and the consequences for them were grave.
So, how did Carl,
when he told you about I watched him, I watched him take it all on and basically free me from the gallows.
What was his feeling?
It's interesting because I know that he had told the story before, but when he was telling it to me, it was as if he was telling it for the first time.
He was emotional.
We had the incredible experience of taking Carl with us back to Germany to go into the chamber where his friend was executed, was actually beheaded by guillotine at the age of 17.
It's now a national memorial in Berlin.
And Carl walked in there and then just started weeping and talking to his friend and telling us, this is where it happened.
And he saved my life.
It's interesting that that's what Carl said.
He saved my life.
Amazing.
All right.
So what point are you at for
producing this?
Yes.
We partnered with Angel Studios, who brought us The Chosen.
Yeah,
an amazing series.
And we've partnered with them, and we're in the process now of crowdfunding.
That's what Angel Studios has done.
They've kind of turned the traditional model of
raising money for and distributing independent film and series on its head, where traditionally,
the Hollywood version is kind of, let's make it first, we'll spend our millions making it, and then spend millions more hoping that we can build an audience for it.
They are like, build an audience.
Let's build an audience first, make sure that we have an audience.
And once we know that, then we'll make it.
Then we already already have our audience in place.
And so that's where we're at now: we're with Angel Studios.
We're just
opening it up so people can actually go to our landing page, to our website, angel.com/slash truth, and
show their interest.
They can back the project.
And I don't, you're not crowdfunding yet, but it's coming in the future.
But you, anybody, if you are interested in this, I think this is a really important story to tell.
It's one of my favorite stories.
I mean, I'm a sucker for the underdog who stands and in the end kind of thinks they lost, but they really didn't, because once you get out of their time, you know, there are memorials to him and
people in Germany know him.
You look at,
what was the guy's name?
I was telling you about the Mein Kampf that has his book plate in it.
Stauffenberg.
Stauffenberg.
Stauffenberg, most people don't even, didn't know before the Tom Cruise movie.
Most people in America didn't know who he was.
He's a national hero in
Germany, and he was executed.
We need to learn these stories about the Bonhoeffers and the
Hubeners and
the von Stauffenbergs.
Go to
angel.com slash truth.
Truth.
Angel.com slash truth and find out more about this Truth and Convictions TV series.
And hopefully we will see it soon.
When do you go back to Germany?
Well, we're heading to Germany for the 80th anniversary of Helmut's execution
in about two weeks, October 27th, is when he was executed.
And the German government is holding a memorial service there.
So we're going to be there for that.
We'll be posting to our socials and actually doing a live stream.
Maybe we can give you a call and
let me know because I'd love to attach you to my socials too.
I'd love to see that.
I wish I could be there, bro.
That would be fantastic.
Thank you so much.
God bless you.

An important story that we share with our families and our kids.
See if this sounds familiar.
You're going about your day trying to do all the things you normally do.
And all of a sudden, ow, ow.
Didn't used to have happen like this.
It's amazing.
I went from invincible to ow all the time.
And
I don't know when that happened, but it's there.
If you have that kind of situation in your life and you are dealing with pain, please try Relief Factor.
The problem with pain for me is
Ibuprofen never touches it.
I've had the hard stuff.
I've had 800 milligrams.
Oh, I've done it.
I've done it.
I went for the prescription.
I didn't just take four ibuprofens out of the bottle that you buy.
I had the prescription.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, the hard stuff.
Nothing never touches anything on me.
This is kind of like ibuprofen, where it affects the inflammation in your body, except it attacks the inflammation not from one way, like ibuprofen, it attacks it from four different directions.
I think that's why it works for me.
And 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.

Have you noticed how everything on the left is just falling apart?
Have you noticed that?
Like Elizabeth Warren.
Elizabeth Warren, she, you know, tweeted her support for Indigenous Peoples Day, not Columbus Day.
And she said,
on Indigenous Peoples Day,
we celebrate the remarkable contributions, cultures, and resilience of tribal nations and Native communities.
And we recognize the federal government must honor its promises to Native American peoples and respect tribal sovereignty and self-determination.
Now, that didn't go over well with a lot of people.
That's interesting.
Some of the responses you honored them by stealing jobs, money, and opportunities from them.
No American alive has taken more from Native peoples.
For at least this one day, maybe you should hide your pale face in shame.
How about this one?
Happy steal all the benefits made for real Natives Day, Senator 1-100, sorry, 1-1024th.
This is like John Dilliger praising a bank holiday.
Maybe sit this one out, Navajo white.
You know what else is remarkable?
That you pretend to be Native American your entire life.
You get caught, and now you have no shame in pretending to care about Native Americans.
It didn't go over well.
It wasn't good.
Was there no one in her office who reminded her of this before the tweet?
Was there no one who said, hey, Elizabeth, remember how you faked being a Native American for the past 50 years?
And you got benefits?
Yeah.
You got benefits.
Perhaps maybe don't mention Indigenous Peoples Day.
No, nobody.
Not that I know of.
No.
I think probably somebody did.
You think?
And she just walked through it anyway because she's too important.
There's no one who thinks more highly of Elizabeth Warren than Elizabeth Warren.
I want to warn you.
Do you have any duct tape?
I don't.
Your head's going to explode.
Oh, no.
President, former President Barack Obama
was speaking at a closed-door session during the Copenhagen Democracy Summit.
And he warned of a sexist and angry political opposition that isn't persuadable and urged liberals to guard against
self-righteousness.
Sometimes it turns out that they're mean, that they're racist, they're sexist, they're angry.
And your job is then just to beat them because they're not persuadable.
Sometimes we get filled up in our own self-righteousness.
We're so convinced that we're right, we forget about what we're right about.
Hmm.
Ha.
There's something about Dr.
Healay.
I can't remember the rest of that phrase, but something along those.
They're racist, they're sexist, they're angry, and they're not persuadable.
Yeah, it sounds like he's speaking about the left, doesn't it?
Sure does.
I mean, they feel
bitter, white, clinging to their guns and their God.
Right.
I mean, that's that's him.
It's him.
That's him.
That's who he is.
That is absolutely incredible.
And yesterday, I told you about the very powerful Nuri Martinez, the president of the LA City Council, who called
a fellow councilman's black son as, quote, a little monkey.
She was like, you know,
I was angry and I wasn't thinking and I shouldn't have said that.
And
she's been forced to step down.
Oh.
We're going to miss her terribly, terribly.
Oh, my gosh.
She's gone.
We've lost her.
We've lost her.
It's interesting.
I guess there are still things that liberals will step down on, you know, over.
Like, it doesn't.
The little people.
They still step over a little.
No, I don't mean step over, step down.
Oh, step down.
They'll actually leave office for because they've stopped leaving office for most things.
Yeah.
You just kind of survive it and let the media cover for you.
I guess recordings of you saying racist things is still on the list, though.
Yeah, it depends on who it is.
It depends on who it is.
Depends on who it is.
Now, if your pictures here's blackface don't make you step down.
No.
That's not going to make you step down.
We know Trudeau is still in office, as far as I know.
The governor of Virginia didn't step down.
You with Russian hookers, I mean, not you, but people with Russian hookers doing cracks, saying all kinds of crazy things,
that doesn't worry me.
That doesn't make you lose
anything.
Did you hear about the FBI officials, the ones who briefed Facebook about the Hunter Bite?
Member Facebook's like, oh, no, we were told by the FBI.
You know who told them?
Who?
Two Democrats that are FBI agents, and
they were the ones.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I'm surprised.
I was surprised.
I was shocked, too.
I was thinking about this a little bit over the week because I was watching the Hunter Biden thing happen.
Remember when the president or the owner of the New England Patriots got in trouble for visiting a massage parlor?
Do you remember this a couple of years ago?
Yeah.
It was a massive scandal.
Hunter Biden did that times a thousand on video.
And even when they say charges might be brought, there's there's no charges at all regarding any of that activity.
I remember before I went dead inside where these things used to matter.
Back in a minute.

In case you think home title fraud is the kind of thing that only happens to other people, have a listen to a convicted thief explaining what happens after he forges your home's title and takes over as the new owner.
Nobody thinks that I can take their house and borrow against the house.
Oh, no, I have title insurance for that.
No, it's in my name.
Or he would have to get some special document.
They would call me.
You know, nobody's calling you.
After I've stolen the title, borrowed against it, or sold the property, or done whatever I've done with it, it's 60 to 90 days to even figure out that they're the victim of this crime.
You know, by that point, you start getting foreclosure notices and you realize you've got four mortgages on your house.
Not only that, you don't even own your home anymore.
It's not even in your name.
Doesn't that sound like fun?

This is the Glenback Program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glemback Program.
It is Tuesday.
Tulsi Gabbard has announced she is leaving the Democratic Party.
She's going to be joining us here in about 30 minutes to talk about that.
Also, there is a story that came out a couple of weeks ago.
We talked about it then, and then it just seemed to kind of die out.
The Election Integrity Partnership that was four private organizations working, the Department of Homeland Security and with the,
what was the other department?
There was another department, I think State Department.
And they wanted to make sure that misinformation was curtailed.
So this public-private partnership went to Facebook and Twitter and everybody else and said, you need to suppress these voices.
And they did.
They suppressed millions of social media posts, deemed it as misinformation.
Is anything being done about this?
Are they doing it now for this election?
What's happening?
We talked to the guy who broke the story, John Solomon from Just the News, the CEO and editor-in-chief.
We talked to him in 60 seconds.
Every day, the threat of economic turmoil looms closer and closer on the horizon.
We're already seeing plenty of it as inflation continues to spike at record numbers.
I hate being the one to say this, but at this point, a recession is, it's already happening, but it's guaranteed to happen.
Bigger than what you would expect, you need to prepare and you need to know what to look for as things begin to spiral out of control.
May I suggest today is the day you get free mortgage review from American Financing.
The average, the average that these guys are saving people every single month is $695.
$695, that would go a long way to help you on the inflation front, wouldn't it?

Our good friend and a serious journalist,
John Solomon, welcome to the program, sir.
How are you?
Good to be with you, Glenn.
Could you recap this story for anybody who missed it or may have forgotten about it that you broke about three, four weeks ago?
Yeah, and there's a big development today that I'll get to, but the Election Integrity Partnership was a
three
four-person or four-entity private entities that came together, two universities, a cybersecurity company.
They formed this sort of left-leaning project that worked with the Homeland Security Department, the State Department, to create a concierge ticket system that people could file tickets saying, I think this is disinformation.
Will you, the Election Integrity Project, go on behalf of us and ask the social media companies to throttle the post, delete the post, or block the post, or flag the post?
And they did this, and they did it with significant reach.
According to their own after-action report, which we obtained, they impacted 4,800 URLs, websites, 4,800 of them.
20 journalists, more than two dozen
conservative influencers.
And by the way, we're one of the news organizations, Justin News, was censored or blocked by this.
Right.
We are too.
And I was named as a super spreader.
I mean, you were.
There's this chart that you obtained
introducing the narrative, mainstreaming it, and then super spreaders.
And this was about the color revolution, which I don't know any, I do, I don't know who Darren Beattie is.
I didn't know any of these others that were saying this.
We were doing our own independent research.
And then it says, you know, Darren Beattie appears on Tucker Carlson.
The next one is significant influencer pickup, Glenn Beck, and mass spreading, sharing dynamics as users post stories and claims to Facebook groups.
So I'm a super spreader.
Yeah.
welcome to the club.
It's just amazing, right?
The idea that in a country that was founded with the First Amendment, the very first one that our founding fathers gave us, being free speech, to see this collaboration,
the HS sanctions it State Department actually sends some requests.
Homeland Security didn't send any requests to actually for censor, but State Department did.
Private groups, including the Democratic National Committee, did.
And this partnership itself did a lot of its own flagging under the name of the government, forwarding it to these things.
22 million tweets, the social media posts, were impacted by the targeting that this group did.
35% of the time, when a request was made of Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and Google, the request was granted by the social media.
That's a pretty good batting average.
I know some baseball players that would take a 350 batting average.
A really, really significant, the largest federally sanctioned censorship operation ever uncovered in America.
And today we have a brand new development.
It turns out that one of the players who was instructing the Homeland Security Department during the 2020 election was a Harvard University entity created by Hillary Clinton's former campaign manager, Robbie Mook.
Now, why is that significant?
First off, another left-leaning person involved in the machinery, but it was Robbie Mook in 2016 who testified during the assessment trial recently.
He and Hillary Clinton sanctioned the idea of leaking key things about the Russia collusion narrative, the fake Russia collusion narrative, to the news media, even though they weren't sure it was true.
Just think about that.
In 2016, he's the perpetrator of one of the largest disinformation campaigns ever pulled out in American electric history.
And four years later, he's advising his group at
the Belfort Center at Harvard University is advising the government on how to fight disinformation.
This is craziness.
Is there anyone picking this up to
break this up?
Or is this just getting worse?
Well, it's definitely accelerating.
The group is back in action.
They said they got the gang back together in a tweet post just a few days ago.
There are multiple members of Congress that have jumped in.
Ron Johnson, that's Senate Homeland Security Committee.
James Comer, likely to be the chairman of the House
Oversight Committee, Jim Jordan, likely to be the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, if Republicans gain control.
Chuck Grassley, likely to be senate Judiciary Committee chairman.
They're all asking questions.
My understanding is there may be a preservation letter going out in the next couple of days.
Deserve all your evidence.
We're coming to get it.
So,
John, can I ask a question that maybe you're not prepared to answer?
But,
you know,
just based on my gut, and I could very well be wrong, but this doesn't feel like an election that's going to be close.
And I hope it's not.
One way or another, I hope it's not
because I don't think people are going to believe that it wasn't fixed.
The Democrats will know that it was fixed, but if they lose, they'll say it was the other side fixing it.
And conservatives are so concerned about, you know, the last election that, and it feels,
at least in Texas, it feels like a a red wave.
And I'm not suggesting that it feels like a 20-point margin, but it feels like we will win if they're close.
We would win.
Could be wrong.
Are these elections safe?
Are they secure?
We have a much better handle on the rule changes that really tipped the election to the favor of Democrats in 2020, the Wisconsin Supreme Court rulings, Arizona legislation, Georgia legislation, Florida legislation, Texas legislation.
A lot of the states, particularly the Red states and the battleground states, have attempted to fix the issues that a lot of people believed hijacked the 2020 election.
There are some states where the issues aren't fixed.
Pennsylvania is a concern for a lot of people.
There's been some unusual activity in Colorado.
I think 30,000
registrations went out.
We just confirmed this this morning to non-citizens who aren't supposed to vote in Colorado.
So there's still failures and mistakes.
We know Iran hacked into the 2020 election.
We learned that a year after it occurred.
But I think the system is more
insulated against the sort of tactics that the Democrats and liberals and their bureaucratic friends in the election bureaucracy tried to use during the COVID-19.
People are wiser, smarter.
There are more election poll watchers ready to go and trained, something that I think Glenn
Young did very well and created a model for the Republican Party nationally.
So I think think people have greater confidence that
the system will be better oiled, less craziness.
And also, changes to roles that were done in the name of COVID-19 have been rolled back in a big way.
And I think another important thing happened two weeks ago, Glenn.
I don't know if a lot of people paid attention because it happened on a Friday night, but an Obama-era judge, an Obama-appointed judge, declared that the whole concept that made Stacey Abrams the national figure that she is, that Georgia is the epicenter of a 21st century Jim Crow racist voting system.
An Obama judge struck down every count of her lawsuit.
That sends a pretty powerful message to Americans and Georgians alike that just asking for someone's ID is not racist.
Checking someone's citizenship is not racist.
Having a court declare that, by the way, a court led by a Democratic judge,
is, I think, probably
a very important force going into this election.
Let me switch the subjects.
Ukraine.
First of all, why is a teachers union head, Randy Weingarten, over on the front lines of Ukraine today?
I mean,
I'm not even going to joke about it.
Anyway, why is she over there?
She's assessing the situation.
What kind of payoff favors or
what's happening there?
Yeah, it's a mystery to a lot of people.
She obviously has been over there.
She says that she's
trying to help the Ukrainian schools weather and perform in the middle of a war.
Who knows what's really going on there?
Listen, Ukraine has long been
a favorite of liberal Democrats.
They have championed its causes.
And they're in the middle of a brutal war.
Putin's attack on Sunday was a brutal attack because it targeted civilians.
It killed lots of people unnecessarily.
I don't know
what actually motivates her there.
We're trying to find out.
We've put some FOIAs in at the State Department because the State Department probably would have cleared or been in on the loop.
So we'll find out beyond what she said, what's there.
But listen, this is a very dangerous war.
It has already had enormous consequences on the economy of the European Union, enormous human consequences to the Ukrainian people.
And Vladimir Putin is acting more and more desperate.
And I think a lot of people have to look for, do we have a president?
Do we have a leadership in the world that can find an off-ramp right now, stop this war, and try to create a negotiated settlement?
Does it seem like we're looking for an off-ramp to you?
I had an amazing interview with Victoria Coates over the weekend, former deputy national security advisor.
She said that Joe Biden is missing the opportunity.
He has not defined to the American people what the end game is, why we're spending this money, and
will he try to find an exit strategy beyond regime change in Russia?
And there's no answer.
She says this is a sign of the extraordinary weak leadership that Joe Biden has brought to foreign policy.
Yesterday, we had our airports, the outward-facing websites, went down.
It looks like the Russians, not the government, but probably a front organization,
claimed responsibility that they are going to start to hassle and make our lives more difficult
by hacking into systems here.
Yeah,
that is something we're seeing increasingly,
including in indictments.
There was an indictment about three weeks ago of some Iranian hackers who were targeting key infrastructure, particularly energy infrastructure.
You see the airport attack this week, and we know the Iranians successfully hacked a database.
Let's keep this in mind.
The guy, Chris Krabs, who went on 60 Minutes, said we had a completely secure-proof election in 2020.
We
later found out a year later because of an indictment by the FBI and Justice Department, that wasn't true, that actually beginning in the summer of 2020, our Homeland Security Department and CISA, Chris Krabs' agency, knew that we had been penetrated by Iran.
They were able to get into one state's voter database and steal 150,000 Americans' identity.
That's a really remarkable
revelation that was kept from us during the 2020 election.
The infiltration of state-sponsored hackers is growing every day, and our infrastructure is way behind being insulated.
And I think that's one of the concerns.
We have hospital systems, energy systems, water systems, all being penetrated and tested every day.
And this is the next front of warfare, right?
The digital warfare is,
I remember about a decade ago, it was Leon Panetta, the CIA director, said, we're going to have a digital Pearl Harbor one day because we're just not ready for it.
And I think the efforts to get that digital Pearl Harbor started by our enemies are growing by the day.
If you could, hang on for one minute.
I want to take a one minute break, then back in with John Solomon, who is just, he's one of the guys that I really trust.

John, I don't know if you follow the story.
I've watched it be hit a couple of times.
First, the New York Times came out and said, there's a conspiracy theory.
And then the very next day, Gascon from
L.A.
put a warrant out for the arrest of this voting machine company.
And he was arrested, I think, in Michigan or she, and brought to California because of the transfer of information to China, which they say was a mistake, but I'm not sure I believe that.
Do you know what this story is really all about?
Well, this is a really important story.
First of all, it's a far-left prosecutor that has brought it.
Right.
But acknowledging that this company, this Michigan-based company,
appears to have stored valuable data about the election poll workers and election system workers on a server
in China,
and that this was not only a breach of the contract, according to the district attorney's office, it was a national security risk.
And it shows, once again, just like the Iran hacking thing we talked about a few days ago, our foreign adversaries are looking for any way to steal data, to steal identities in America, to influence elections, to influence corporate business decisions.
And this possibility, this idea that this was sitting on the servers, whether China penetrated or not, the indictment is silent on that issue right now.
But it shows that Conic was very, at the very least, very
sloppy and put this software, this poll chief software,
in a location where it could easily have been penetrated by the Chinese.
Here's what doesn't make sense to me.
That's a violation of a corporate contract.
What's the criminality here?
False representations in the contract is is basically the,
and if you look at the indictment, right, there's the representation that they weren't doing what they were doing, but there's also, it says, in the charges that were released by the district attorney, a suspicion of theft of personal identifying information, a suspicion of theft of personal.
We don't know more about that yet.
We expect more of that when the extradition and court hearings begin going on, but a lot of
cross-pollination of Michigan town, LA County working together to unravel this case and to bring this indictment.
A lot of eyes are on this because it goes against the grain of a lot of the narratives of the left.
But in this case, one of the left's favorite, Gascon, he's the one bringing this case.
And my understanding is the FBI has been involved.
There's a lot of different pieces of
different players
trying to figure out what happened.
That's one of the reasons I don't trust it.
Oh, it's Gascon and the FBI.
Oh, well, I feel safe now.
last thing
you know I'm I'm seeing something that I just I just can't believe is true but I think it is they're not going to do anything about Hunter Biden are they
we'll see listen I think that there was a significant amount of activity before the grand jury this spring uh that brought forth the sort of uh uh evidence that would support charges for tax evasion or tax violations uh i think for uh improper foreign lobbying it's one of the things i've heard people being asked about before the grand jury This gun charge came in late.
Obviously, other people have been charged with lying about using drugs on their federal firearms license.
So I think at the end of the day,
right after the election, the prosecutors will make a final decision.
I think there are three outcomes, right?
One, they could cut a deal.
That's the thing I most likely think will happen.
Although the lawyer for Hunter says no.
Two, there'll be an indictment.
Or three, there'll be some dispute between the line U.S.
attorney and Maine Justice that will freeze this up.
But the evidence is now pouring out into the public.
It's going to be hard for the Justice Department not to take any action.
And if the Democrats control the House and the Senate, will they be able to do anything about this?
That's a great question, right?
There may be less pressure for prosecutors to take a final action and wrap this up because they know the Republicans won't be able to get it.
I think one of the things that have pushed this along, I think, has been the outcome of this election, the idea that Republicans may have one chamber of the Congress growing belief that that's putting pressure on the Justice Department.
Hey, we don't want this out there with not any.
I think that's been the driving force the last few years.

Tulsi Gabbard joins us in just a couple of minutes.
You're responsible for your dog, right?
I mean, that's why...
No, we can't get it.
No, but I'll take care of it.
No, you won't.
No, you won't.
Your mom is the one that takes care of the dog all the time.
And then once in a while, I'll be like, hey, somebody fed the dog.
And you're responsible for it.
You feed your dog the best you can, and most likely it's kibble.
And, you know, you didn't know that kibble is dead food.
It has to have a long shelf life because of the law.
And so they cook out all of the good stuff.
It will never go bad, really.
I mean, it will never mold because there's nothing new.
There's nothing alive in it.
So a naturopathic doctor Dennis Black came up with something that you sprinkle on your dog's food.
Vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, you name it.
If it's healthy for your dog, it's probably in Rough Greens.
The Rough Greens, try this out.
Get a free trial bag.
You just pay for shipping.
You get the free trial bag.
Make sure your dog likes it.
If they do, order a bag and watch the changes, the healthy changes in your dog.

There was a story that came out today that I found fascinating,
and that is Tulsi Gabbard.
I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party.
It is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by
cowardly wokeness who divide us by radicalizing every issue, stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms.
I wanted to talk to Tulsi because
I know her.
I think we have the big things in common, the, you know,
Bill of Rights, Constitution.
Hey, I think America's made some really bad things.
Let's learn from those because most of it is really good if we can get it right.
But it's interesting also because she's leaving the Democratic Party.
And she wasn't, like when people leave the Republican Party, they're either really, really conservative and believe in things and they're like, party doesn't mean anything.
Or you've got the people who are just, they're not really Republicans.
They're more of a Democrat, conservative Democrat.
And they leave.
She was deep into
the socialist side of the party.
Tulsi Gabbard joins us now.
Hi, Tulsi.
How are you?
Hey, Glenn.
Good morning.
I'm good.
How are you doing, Tulsa?
Good, good.
So,
first of all, let me just introduce a host of the Tulsi Gabbard Show,
and you can find out more about her at tulsi.substack.com.
So, Tulsi,
why leave the Democrats and why now?
Glenn, you know, you and I have had a lot of great conversations, and so many of those conversations often I find have been centered around freedom, as you mentioned, the Bill of Rights.
these fundamental principles.
Our country was founded on the things that are most important that really bind us all together as Americans.
And when it comes right down to it, today's Democratic Party does not believe in freedom.
They don't believe in freedom.
And because they don't believe in freedom and because they are,
you know, the party is led by fanatical ideologues, they're actively trying to undermine those God-given rights that we have that are enshrined in our Constitution.
They are actively seeking to undermine our freedom of speech.
They want to control what we say and what we think.
They are attacking our religious liberty.
They cannot handle it when people dare to speak out or even question,
question the things that they are trying to
impose on us as a society.
And the way that they, you know, they foment fear, you see this cancel, woke, culture.
They try to silence anyone who dares to disagree or anyone who dares to expose the insecurity, their insecurity, and the weakness in their argument and narrative.
And for a whole host of reasons, and you can go and
read my statement on Substack or listen to,
I spoke about this in detail
on the Tulsi Gabbard Show, but it really all comes down to
freedom.
And I can no longer be associated with today's Democratic Democratic Party that is so actively anti-freedom.
Tulsi, you know, you and I have talked many times, and I really respect you, but I have to ask a couple of questions.
And I want you to know these are honest questions.
I'm not trying to do anything, but really understand a couple of things.
First of all,
address the cynics that would say you're only doing this now because you want the publicity for your podcast or,
you know, Substack.
I'm laughing a little bit as you're asking that, Glenn, because
every time I've made a decision that
got some attention, but was maybe politically not expedient or the popular thing to do, that was very often the response.
You were like, oh, you're just doing this to get attention.
It's never made sense.
That's never been the motivation that I've had.
I have done my best and continue to do my best
to make decisions, whether it be about policy or other things,
based on what's right.
And this was not a decision that I made lightly or quickly,
but it's one that I knew had to be done.
This is the part that
I'm really interested in, because I think there are people that are leaving
the parties, both parties,
because they think they're both about bullcrap.
There are people like Bill Maher that are really
speaking out against this democratic mob.
And
people will say, I think he's turning conservative.
No, he's not.
He's a classical liberal.
He's a guy who believes in freedom, et cetera, et cetera.
He just believes in more taxes and more government and everything else.
So he's just being the kind of American that loves the country and agrees with the Bill of Rights, and the kind of American that doesn't want to fight his neighbor can live side by side.
I want to ask you, because you,
I mean, you endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016,
endorsed Keith Ellison.
You are somebody that has, you're way down the rabbit hole to the left on your policies.
Have you changed your mind on those?
Are you more like Bill Maher?
What's happening?
Well, first, I want to go back to what you mentioned about
being a classic liberal.
And I think a lot of people have forgotten or don't know maybe what that actually means.
But
if you look at classic liberalism, and this is something that you talk about, classic liberalism is about respecting individual freedom and individual rights.
It's about really living up to that ideal of a government of, by, and for the people.
It's about civil liberties and freedom.
And my gosh, today's Democratic Party
is clearly so far off from the classic liberals of great of our past.
I've never put myself, as you know, in a box.
Like, I've never cleanly fit in the so-called progressive box or the, you know, even as a Democrat, I've always been an independent Democrat.
And so there are things that probably I agree with some folks on or disagree with other folks on, but ultimately
what it comes down to is the Democratic Party of today has literally gone insane.
And the foundation of freedom has not only been lost, it's something that they're actively attacking,
which
makes it impossible to even have a conversation about many of the other things that affect us in our everyday lives.
If we can't stand on this common foundation and principle of freedom and
recognizing our God-given rights enshrined in the Constitution, then there's not a whole lot of room to talk.
Aaron Powell, so tell me what you think happened to the Democratic Party.
As I see it,
they gave in to the Marxists, but they're not really giving in to the Marxists.
That's a, I don't know, that was a feint or something.
I'm not sure what it was, but it was a useful idiot.
And really what they've done is they've become this corporatist,
globalist
monster.
What happened, do you think?
You know, I can't tell you specifically what the cause is, but what I have experienced and what I've seen is, you know, going back 20 years ago when I first ran for state house here in Hawaii and I looked at, okay, well, which party do I want to affiliate with?
At that time, when I looked and Hawaii's past especially, I saw the Democratic Party as a big, tent, inclusive party, respecting people who hold different views on different issues, but really rooted in the foundations of justice and fairness and freedom and being a champion for the little guy, for the working class American.
And that party is not recognizable today.
It is a party of the elite, by the elite and for the elite.
It is a party of
warmongers who are firmly in the grips of the military-industrial complex.
It's a party that has left the people behind and has been taken over by these fanatical ideologues who
are blinded by their ambition and desire for power.
You know, I've been through this over the years, and I've seen how not only do they try to destroy people who disagree with them, even if you just don't say anything about whatever their cause of the moment is because it changes, then their response is, well, you are complicit.
If you are silent, you are complicit.
You're part of the problem.
Then if you say, oh, you know, okay, well, fine, I agree with that.
Makes sense.
It's not enough.
Unless you get out there with your megaphone and stand on the street corner and scream loudly and march in the protest and, you know, proclaim your your allegiance to whatever their cause of the moment is, then it's not enough.
They're not convinced.
The goalposts keep changing.
They don't believe in truth.
And when people don't believe in truth, and there are no boundaries to
what they are propagating in our society, which frankly poses a great danger and risk.
So
I'm taking, and maybe I have this wrong, but I'm taking it that you, you know, you haven't become a conservative, but you still agree with some of the socialist big government things that you supported in the past.
So if that's true, who are you going to vote for?
I mean, how are you ⁇ there's an election coming up.
You don't have to have names, but do you vote for the party even if the person is good?
I know.
The answer is no.
I have always been of the mindset that we should not be voting based on party lines.
We should be voting based on the character and values of a candidate and their commitment to the Constitution.
You know, there are different
issues or positions that, you know, through my experience, I've seen, okay, wow, well, you know, I didn't know that or I didn't understand that.
And I think it's important to always be willing to self-examine and say, okay, was I right on that or not?
Or is there a better approach to being able to tackle the problems that we face?
You know, I was confounded when I was vice chair of the Democratic National Party for a few years in Washington.
Every time we would go to events during election year, and you'd hear the mantra, vote blue no matter who.
And it never made any sense to me.
It never made any sense because I know a lot of people who probably should not have ever been running for office but were standing up on a stage getting people support and votes as people stood next to them saying vote blue no matter who the who matters character matters your values matter your commitment and who you're loyal to matters the most
the fact that we have gotten to a place in a country where we have so many leaders in Washington who took that oath that every one of us takes when you take public office, that oath to support and defend the Constitution,
but they've thrown the Constitution in the trash or they're openly
stomping their feet on it in defiance of that oath that they took.
This is where if you look at
you start questioning why are people doing these things?
Why are they taking the position that they're taking?
Why don't they believe in the rule of law?
How can they oppose free speech?
It's because they don't believe in the Constitution.
And without that,
they're floundering and there is no foundation to stand on.
Talking to Tulsi Gabbard,
and I think it is really important.
I like Tulsi.
I don't know if you would consider me a friend, but I consider you a friend, Tulsi.
I do.
I do, Glenn.
And
while we, I'm sure, disagree on a lot of really big things, it is really important when somebody recognizes and says, oh, that's poison,
That even though they're not on your team per se, that you recognize that's a huge, huge step and important because we have to get back to being a country where we can live side by side and disagree with each other, but still like each other and respect one another.
So, Tulsi, good job.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
You bet.
It's great to talk to you, Glenn.
Have a great day.
You too.

Okay.
Stability.
Kind of an important word.
Have you felt a lot of stability?
I mean,
our administration, our economic policies more unstable than Kanye West.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
More at, that's saying something, right?
The threats of war, internal upheaval, inflation, supply shortages.
Don't forget, of course, the great reset.
I mean, it is nasty right now.
May I suggest you do everything you can to protect what you have.
If you have any money in, you know, 401k or any money saved,
please consider gold or silver.
I just read an article last night from somebody who has not been in gold and silver and has been like, eh, I don't know, and said, okay, now is the time to get into gold or silver because
everything is going to be worth less until it's worthless.
And
the world will reset on this.
Every legal tender bar card
purchase this week, you're going to receive a free Ben Franklin copper round, a free silver mind your business bar, and a free silver maple flex bar.
Now, these are
these legal tender bars, these are from the Canadian Mint.
They are gold, and they're broken down into smaller denominations.
So you could actually trade if things became crazy.
866 Goldline.
866 Goldline.
These things sell out quickly.
Go to goldline.com, find out about them.
Call them now.
866Goldline.
What a day.
Huh?
What a day.
A lot going on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I like Tulsa.
I mean, I think this is going to be an interesting show to hear someone kind of come out of that world and talk about these issues from a totally different perspective.
Yeah.
You know, and I'm, I, you know,
I, I, you need more time to get into the nuance of things, but it doesn't sound to me like she's rejecting, you know, big government policies.
Sure.
She is the kind of liberal that I grew up thinking liberals were.
Right.
You know what I mean?
They didn't hate America.
They just wanted a bigger government.
And they didn't want a government to tell you what to do all the time.
They just felt that we needed a big, big safety net.
I disagree with that, but
that is somebody you can live with because we can go to the 4th of July fireworks together and both, you know, cry about how great our country is.
