Whatever you do, do not be caught on the wrong side of food shortages.
I was just
looking at a chart this morning about what's happening on our farms and our ranches.
We have 70% of the farmers that say they had to destroy their crops.

So Brian Stelter, huh?
So Brian Stelter.
Choices, choices, choices.
Got no room to compromise.
We gotta stand together, it's the chorus of night.
Stand up straight and hold the line.
It's a new day I've turned around.
What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenback Program.
Hello, America.
It's Friday.
Today,
on the program, a lot of great news for you.
But I want to start with a threat to our democracy.
This is...
I'm not saying it's a threat to democracy.
It is the left that has now kind of coalesced around a set of ideas about who you are.
And we...
That's one topic we could talk about today.
Any others?
Yeah, we have news on Donald Trump.
Yeah, Donald Trump, but he's former president.
That's always an interesting guy to talk about.
Anything else you want to mention today?
Anything else?
Are there other
personalities that maybe you want to discuss?
Maybe their futures,
what's going on in their lives?
Anything?
Anything from that
particular arena?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You know, Stu, there's two ways to go on stories.
Yeah.
Always two ways to go.
And
I'm wrestling with which road to take.
Oh, I want to see you wrestle.
Yeah, do you?
Yeah, I'd like to see that.
Maybe you could explain the thought process to the audience coming up here in just a minute.
What do you think?
Let me tell you about Relief Factor.
Penelope lives in Texas.
As she got older, she started having aches and pains all throughout her body.
She found that she could no longer walk up the stairs without having to stop every little bit.
That's why God invented elevators.
I'm just saying.
I mean, he, I mean, right?
Right?
Why would he give us legs when, you know, there's automatic stairs and chairs that now can be just, you know, you can sit in the whole time.
And they'll move you around from room to room, place to place.
I'm just thinking.
I'm just thinking.
Anyway, Penelope says, I really would like my legs.
Okay.
All right.
So she tried Relief Factor.
She decided she'd give it a try within three weeks.
She noticed her pain was almost totally gone.
Penelope got her life back, and so could you.
Relief Factor.
It's not a drug.
It was developed by doctors to be able to attack inflammation, which is the main cause of pain in our body and quite honestly, the main cause of disease in our body as well.
And it attacks it four different ways with four different ingredients.
Try it.
70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to order more month after month.
It's relief factor.com.
That's relief factor.com or 800, the number four, relief.
800 for relief.
Relief factor.
Feel the difference.
So,
so what's going on in your world, Glenn?
Anything you want to talk about today?
I mean,
there's obviously something you want to mention.
That I want to mention.
No, I don't have.
I mean,
I guess what you could do is take an inventory of the news stories of the day, right?
And then start to think about if you had any personal connection to them.
Let me think.
Nope, that's going on.
Well, no, I don't have any personal connection to any of those stories.
Do you is there any personal connection you might feel to any of the major news stories of the day?
You know, for those people who are listening right now and they may not follow the news and have personal connections to the news,
they may be wondering, what are you even talking about?
Oh, well,
we're talking about a potential story that you might want to discuss today.
Yeah.
About
an individual
from CNN.
Well, there's two ways to go.
And the two ways to go would be
one would be very fun,
very satisfying.
Sure.
Funny.
Funny.
Entertaining.
Right?
Yeah.
And the other one would be Christ-like.
You know, the Bible, not always hilarious, I noticed.
No, no.
But usually right.
Yeah, almost all the time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's not that big of a struggle.
It's just I'm fighting the urge to be very, very funny.
Well, maybe it's worth instead of talking about today's news to look back at history, you know?
Like, for example, let me look back in the annals of history to about four years ago when I was watching CNN
and there was an interview on
TV and
the host of the show,
the show's name was Reliable Sources, I believe.
And I believe the interview was supposed to be about one thing.
I can't remember at all what that was, coming together or something like that.
But then it took a turn about halfway through.
And the interviewer started talking to the interviewee about how much trouble his business was in.
Do we have a a clip of it?
No, come on.
Oh, really?
No, no, no, no, come on.
No, well, she's saying, because I was trying to describe it, and I can only do that so well if we have the actual audience.
One's arguing justice, one's arguing mercy, or they say they're a familiar voice, but they're not.
All they're doing is playing politics, and the American people are tired of it.
Who is talking about an actual solution on this?
Who's actually done something?
Who's actually consistent and cared when it was a Democrat in office and cared when it was a Republican in office?
You know, those people exist around the country.
And they're watching you two, the media and Donald Trump, play in this little game back and forth, and they're sick of it.
They don't want to hear about it from either side.
I want the critique because I invited you on.
I'm self-aware enough to know that we need to talk about this because I know it's a problem.
The mainstream media is having a very hard time.
The mainstream media is having a very hard time reaching Trump's base.
That's a fact.
We see that in all the polls.
Yeah, well, then here's the deal.
Brian, you all have my phone number.
I've reached out to all of you in the past and said, let's have a conversation not on the air.
You really want to understand?
You want to hear the others.
Why can't our viewers?
Let's have a conversation where we can get a lot of people.
Why can't our viewers right now?
Because it's all about ratings.
Because this is all about ratings.
Is this bringing you back to the airport?
This isn't about ratings.
This is about saving our country, bringing us together.
That's nice.
Stop dividing us.
I mean, you
can't do that.
So, to be clear,
you think I'm dividing the country for ratings
by booking you?
Brian, stop drive.
Look at what you're doing.
When did this become about you?
This is about the media and the administration.
That's what you guys want to make it into.
If it was about me, I would do it without an economic way you used to.
Listening to me, Brian.
If it was about me, I get out of Blackboard the way you used to.
Oh,
he's he's
being.
Maybe he should.
I mean, the point is, what you mean is making it about me.
I don't see how I've made it about me.
I want to know.
It's not about it.
You just said.
Never mind.
Look, Brian, if you want to have a conversation, the media really wants to know, great, we can have that conversation.
But every time someone, every time I've approached, everybody always says yes.
But as soon as it gets tough or uncomfortable, nobody's interested.
Nobody's interested in looking at themselves and saying, what did I do?
I know what I've done.
I know what I've done.
I've tried to make amends, and I'm trying to.
And we've talked about that before.
I completely agree with you.
And we all do need to be more self-reflective.
I do have to ask you, there's this new headline on the Daily Beast saying that your company's in trouble.
Oh.
You were trying to find a buyer.
See, Glenn.
Is this related to the point about people not talking to each other?
That if you want to create that media company, there's not interest what's what's going on with that
wow
Brian thanks a lot I think that's the most ridiculous
question I've ever heard I'm sitting here ready to talk to you about the detaining of children and parents and trying to break break families apart something that has been happening with Janet Reno that's why it went to the Supreme Court in the first place with Janet Reno, it's been happening.
We want to stop it, and you want to play those games.
Have a nice day.
What game did I just play?
Keep going.
Okay.
See, Glenn?
Now, yeah, of course, as you pointed out, there's two ways to go with a news story.
And one of them is being incredibly Christ-like, as you were trying to be in that interview there.
But Brian Stelter was interviewing you about how your company was failing.
It's weird because
we're sitting here at work for that company right now.
And I don't know what Brian's doing, but not the same thing.
Is there anything that you would want to bring up on that?
Because as you point out, there's two ways to go with every news story.
Did that help bring you back to the moment a little bit, watching that clip once again and watching all the quizzical faces
of Brian Steltzer?
I don't understand.
I don't understand how you don't think so.
Okay, let me take a quick break here and talk to you you about the tuttle twins books uh
if you haven't checked out uh the american history book by the
are you are you okay you seem like you're by the tuttle twins uh right now you're running out of time on their offer i'm strong i'm strong i am not
going to do the tuttle twins are great books uh did they cover history did they cover this 2018 interview the audiobooks and the workbooks that go with it right now you've got one more day kids don't learn history in school the way it should be taught they They mostly learn the dates and the places and the names and the
stupid questions.
They need the deep story.
They need to learn the ideas that makes our country work.
I want you to go right now.
Today is your last day.
It is Friday, isn't it?
Thank God it's Friday.
By the way, I'm going to Gettysburg.
Going to Gettysburg.
Gettysburg.
I'm going this weekend.
I'm doing a history thing up in Gettysburg with a bunch of great people.
And that's a sign of a great battlefield right there
where people
just couldn't control
their anger and
couldn't work together to work things out.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
So, anyway, tuttletwinsbeck.com.
That's tuttletwinsbeck.com.
Do it now before the offer is gone.
They're throwing in audiobooks, workbooks, and so much more.
You can go there now and you get the deal of the free sample chapter before it's too late that's tuttletwinsbeck.com 10 seconds station id
no no it's not
exercise not good i just told stew as we were taking that 10 seconds break 10 second break that's really hard oh yeah stop it well i think you knew i was going to antagonize you to see if you would break on brian stelter but you didn't know that the video of that interview was coming.
And just to watch you kind of relive those moments.
Okay.
The excited, stupid nature.
When your enemy falls, when he stumbles, you do not let your heart rejoice, or
the Lord will see it and disapprove and turn his wrath away from him.
Look,
I would agree with my thought of the day.
That's my thought of the day.
By the way, we should mention Brian Stelter got fired.
We didn't mention that yet, but he's got let go.
Show canceled.
30-year show could not survive Brian Stelter.
Wish him well.
I will say this:
the lesson here is not to do that in 2018 and some of the other things Brian has done through the last few years.
And I pointed this out to people yesterday who only know Brian Stelter from this recent
turn.
You know, this turn in the Trump era where he became a left-wing
media critic.
Get closer to the point.
But like, what I was saying was, I remember him from when we first started on cable news.
He reviewed your very first show.
It wasn't, I wouldn't say positive review, but it wasn't the worst review I ever had.
It was fair.
It was fair.
And he's written some of the most fair pieces about you at times.
A long time ago.
A long time ago.
And I honestly think he's a really good example of what the Trump era has done to a lot of people in the media.
It's broken them.
Their anger against Donald Trump has changed a lot of people who, yes, they may have been liberal.
Yeah, they may have been Democrats.
They may have been left-leaning, but it's changed them into completely irrational actors.
I don't think that's the only thing.
I really don't think that's the only thing that
has happened.
It is also a result of
your world being so small.
They're in New York City, and New York City comes to New York City.
I mean, the world comes to New York City.
Sure.
And, you know, they're working at, you know, these places where you have global reach.
And so you think.
that you are the globe and you're very informed and you know everything because look i'm with the best people and the best people from all over the world and
it's so cosmopolitan here.
It's not.
Your friends are all exactly the same.
I agree with you.
It's not real life.
I definitely agree with that analysis.
I know that analysis existed long before 2016.
No, I know, but the change.
The hatred, I know, but the hatred of Donald Trump and the...
and the political agenda.
Not everything was political.
See, right now, you cannot talk about anything without it being political.
Sports, political.
You know, the Big Pebble Beach car show I was watching on CNBC this morning, Big Pebble Beach Car Show.
That's political as well, because they're going to be talking about the new cars, the all-electric cars, et cetera, et cetera.
Why is everyone coming out with an electric car?
Political.
Politics.
I mean, everything now
is politics.
Who you are,
how you see yourself is now fought out in the political space.
That's what's changed.
And the left has gone insane.
And people who used to be fairly reasonable
and used to agree with the Bill of Rights, they have been so skewed now that they, you know, we got to do things.
I'm for the Bill of Rights, but there's things we got to do.
No, no, no, there's not.
No, there's not on either side.
No, there is not.
You don't silence speech.
And so they get this,
they just get this snowball rolling in their own little click where everybody's thinking alike, and you pour hate like gasoline onto that fire, and you're done.
You're done.
And you're choosing to not go that direction.
Sure.
You're choosing
wig right at your fingertips.
Our producers went out and they got skin wigs and they were like, this is going to be funny.
And
it would be so funny.
It would be so funny.
It would be so easy to do.
It's so good.
But you're choosing to do the right thing.
And can we give Glenn some of the things?
Oh, shut up.
Come on.
There we go.
Glenn, you are such a jerk.
You know you agree with me.
Shut up.
The whole crowd.
No, shut up.
Did you hear it?
You agree.
We've talked about it on the air before.
You agree with me.
Look, of course, Glenn,
I am easily restrained in a moment like this.
Turn his microphone off.
I don't need that.
This isn't one of those moments that I would have trouble.
This is a moment that I can see you're struggling, and that's why I wanted to investigate how you were feeling.
Because as a friend,
I am concerned
with what you're talking about.
Hey, let me give you something that I read that I think is so, really, so spot on from the American Thinker.
Exciting times, a dangerous but exhilarating moment in history to be alive.
The ground beneath us quakes, and everything once held certain seems turned to mush.
Whatever we grasp for balance proves unsteady, too.
The world is crashing down, it seems, and no countervailing force exists to keep everything in place.
When we accept this reality, when we look around and say, hey, that was,
what was, will never be again.
when the troubles around us become
Seemingly unbearable But we say hey That's just not reality today our load becomes a little lighter to bear We are not here to fight for yesterday We are here to fight for tomorrow Yesterday can only give us guidance
That is fantastic tomorrow gives us purpose
Yet just because we fight for tomorrow doesn't mean we aren't also fighting for today.
When you learn to punch, you're taught to aim beyond your target.
You punch through what you mean to hit to maximize the force and minimize the pain to yourself.
In the same way, we aim for the future in order to seize today.
We picture together what types of future we want.
We strive for that future with ferocity and perseverance.
And one day we look around and realize that we've just managed to build a remarkable world right here in the present.
Nothing endures in this earthly existence but that cycle.
It is what we do when challenges arise that matters.
Those acts, fleeting though they may be,
our shared legacy toward one another.
So let's look at the international communist great reset or build back better dystopias as inevitable, if you want.
But do so knowing that you're watching strikes being thrown into the catcher's mitt without ever swinging.
Your mind and soul provide a powerful bat.
Our enemies are throwing heat right down the center of the plate, and there has never been a better time to swing for the fences.
The globalist programs for mass control of humanity have become glaringly obvious.
They don't even hide their intentions anymore behind veiled language, secret club meetings, or slanderous aspersions against their critics.
They just say it out loud in the open.
Yep, we want to reduce the human population, control all energy used for commerce, regulate food production, censor all information, antithetical to our goals.
Cynically divide humanity against itself by promoting meaningless wars, racial hostilities, and ludicrous social conflicts, and force the vast majority of remaining humans
into the future to survive as indentured servants who will own nothing and subsist, I guess, on a diet of bugs.
That is an ugly, depressing, awful future to advertise.
Yet, it is their arrogant plan.
Their arrogant hubris, absolute hubis, and we should love it because we couldn't ask for a better drug to cloud the judgment of our enemies.
They're hooked.
They can't see clearly.
Do we?
It is a really, really good op-ed.
Again, it's an American thinker.
And I didn't do it justice.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It's tunnel to towers right now.
Times are kind of tough.
Inflation is sky high.
And as a result, so are prices on all kinds of things.
Everything from the gas that fuels your car to the
food that fuels your body.
Giving money to good causes might be a little difficult at this moment.
I know that but if you can give
you should give to something that's really worth it so what is that
well
may i suggest tunneled towers
These are one of those really good causes and it's a great organization.
Ever since 9-11, they've been helping families out that are veterans and first responders.
When the worst happens, when somebody doesn't come home or they come home severely injured, they take care of the families and help them restore as much as they can.

It was eight months ago that I released my book, The Great Reset,
and it was all about ESG.
I remember that January day wondering to myself if this will make any difference at all if people will actually read it, talk about it, share it, how to break the
code on ESG to a way that people could understand it
and realize its threat.
Here we are in August of the same year,
and yesterday there was a news article announcing that the people behind ESG
are now thinking about relabeling it and renaming it because ESG
is dead.
That people now, it is growing so fast, the opposition to it, that they think that they've got to just re of saying, oh, wait, the people don't like it, they're going to relabel it.
But I want you to know, ESG proponents, we will be there to see your relabeling.
We will be there every step of the way.
It is not over by any stretch of the imagination, but on Monday in Florida, there is a very important bill that is being passed and suggested by Governor Ron DeSantis, and we'll talk about that on Monday because it'll need your support.
Environmental social governance.
Those are scores that are popping up everywhere.
The biggest banks, the largest financial firms in the world, insurance companies.
If you think ESG is just a fancy banking
term, you're in for a rude surprise.
It will change everything from high gas prices to the destruction of free speech.
I sat down yesterday for a podcast with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
He has been working hard trying to expose ESG for what it really is, the biggest scam of the 21st century.
And his first book, Woke Inc., took on the woke industrial complex.
And now he has launched Strive Asset Management to be a David to the world's financial goliaths like BlackRock.
Today, the episode of the Glenbeck Beck podcast, we start by breaking down exactly what ESG is and why it's not too late to stop it and what you can do.
But we pretty quickly get sidetracked.
As Vivek said, walking out the door, I could have done that for three hours.
And I said the same thing during the podcast.
He is an extraordinarily sharp individual that has
CEO riddled through his resume of pharmaceuticals, of high-tech,
and of finance.
He is actually an intellectual elite, but he sure doesn't sound like one.
He really understands what makes America tick.

It is a fascinating conversation, one really worth it.
The ex-CIA chief has said that Republicans are the most dangerous political force in history.
The ex-CIA chief?
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
You're saying somebody who's in the intelligence agencies has an opinion
about Donald Trump and the Republicans?
I don't think so, Glenn.
These people are long-term professionals, people who are
just there to serve.
They never have political access to grind.
And I don't know what evidence you have to the alternative.
Amen.
Amen.
This guy, by the way,
I was in Utah and they're running against, you know, the Democrats chose, they had their own Democratic, you know, party members that were like,
I want to be a new senator.
And the Democrats at their caucus went, yeah, yeah, sit down, clown.
We're going to go for this guy who claims he was a Republican and then an Independent.
And he's running against Mike Lee.
And do you know what the commercial is?
The commercial is, without Egg McMuffin,
we wouldn't have captured Osama bin Laden.
He's touting his CIA credentials.
And everybody there is focused on how arrogant to they never say it, but they make it look like we wouldn't have caught him without Egg McMuffin.
And
what's truly remarkable to me is they don't see what the real point of this is.
The Democrats are running an ex-CIA guy.
You have a problem
with the intelligence community.
So let's put in as a senator, a guy from the CIA to clean it all up.
This is such a bizarre one because, look,
maybe if you had some like weird rhino
Republican senator that wasn't really popular and I don't know,
Romney.
Let's use him as an example.
Romney's not a bad example.
Maybe there would be some way to chip away with an independent who was kind of claiming to be more conservative than he is.
And like, I get the approach here, but it's like Mike Lee is, in my view, the best senator in the Senate.
Me too.
Full stop.
Yeah.
And this is a guy who's constantly focused on your freedoms, on the Constitution,
on the courts, on the foundational principles of this country.
He's a guy that has, in every difficult circumstance, has not backed down.
Like, there's just no argument whatsoever for anybody else to have that say.
I think we could get a guy from the intelligence community.
I don't.
I don't get it.
Because he'll fix it.
I mean, look, they're blatantly trying to fool Republican voters in
I think it's actually working.
I don't think it's going to work.
I hope not.
But I will tell you that,
you know, people feel pretty confident about Mike Lee, and I feel pretty confident about Mike Lee, but this guy is running ads.
You know, when you talk to people that are, you know, prospective voters, are you going to vote?
Yeah, sure, I'm going to vote.
The ones that the mass, they're not paying attention.
They don't really know who Mike Lee is.
Mike's got one commercial on, and he should change it.
He should update it.
One commercial.
And this guy's got commercials out the butt because there are so
many
people all around the country funding this guy to stop Mike Lee.
Yep.
Oh, and Mike doesn't, you know, Mike doesn't have the war chest that he has because everybody from the country is funding that.
Right.
This is a pet project of the Democrats right now.
Yes.
They believe they have a chance to
believe this is their path to win in red states.
This is a trial.
And if this works, just so America knows, if this works, this will happen to you in your state over and over and over again.
It's really important just outside of the fact that Mike Lee should remain in the Senate because he does a good job.
It's important for people to understand
that this is
a test case for what they want to do to you all over the country.
If you're living in Alabama, if you're living in Texas,
they don't try to run Beto O'Rourke and lose over and over and over again with that strategy.
They take somebody who acts like they're conservative, who acts like they are sort of Republican-leaning, run them as an independent, flood them with nationwide money, and try to fool voters of the state to go against what they actually believe without knowing it.
And that is what they're trying to do right now in Utah, sadly.
I don't think it's going to work.
I think the people of Utah are going to see through it, but
that is what they're trying to do.
And they see this as a path to control red states in the future.
If this works, they'll keep doing it.
Over
and over
and over again.
And they are now saying that
the GOP is a threat to our democracy.
And
listen to this.
New York Times opinion columnist Charles Blow penned a piece titled Republicans are America's Problem.
We must stop thinking it's hyperbolic to say that the Republican Party itself is now a threat to our democracy.
I understand the queasiness about labeling many of our fellow Americans that way.
Only half the nation.
You know, but you didn't get there last time.
You only did it to 80 million people.
I understand that it sounds extreme and overreaching, but how else are we to describe what we're seeing?
Republicans are the threat to our democracy because their own preferred form of democracy, one that excludes and suppresses.
No,
our preferred form of a republic is outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Republicans, giving Republicans a fighting chance at maintaining control is a danger.
For modern Republicans, democracy only works and it's only worth it when and if they win.
Can you take the hypocrisy?
The reason why I wanted to bring this to you, this is the New York Times labeling half of the country as a danger to the Republic.
And what else do we do?
We don't want to label our fellow Americans that way, but what else explains it?
There was another group of people that had this exact kind of propaganda start up against them.
They had seen it over and over again.
We Americans have not.
And so we think, oh, well, it's just true, I guess.
The Jews had seen it over and over again.
When you start saying half of the country is a problem,
all they have to do is just take out the leaders, put them in jail for not paying their taxes, put them in jail for some...
Do you know there's a book out called Three Felonies a Day?
Do you know that if you started reading,
what is it, 200 pages a day of the legal code, you would finish it in about 10,000 years?
Okay, that's how many laws are on the books.
There's no way you could possibly follow all of them.
No.
The average person, they say, commits three felonies a day.
If you knew all of the laws and you wanted to impose
sentences on every single law that you have, they could get you for three felonies every single day.
That's insanity.
That's tyranny.
That is tyranny.
That is tyranny.
And all you have to do is
just listen to what they're saying now, and they will scoop people up.
Listen to this.
Republicans have searched for multiple election cycles for the right vehicle and packaging for their white nationalism, religious nationalism, nativism, and craven capitalism, and sexism.
They finally found it in Trump.
However, the same paper is now saying that if Donald Trump gets out of the way, it's going to be Ron DeSantis.
And I quote, Ron DeSantis is even worse than Donald Trump.
Of course.
Of course.
Of course.
Every single time.
Same pattern every time.
Yep.
Imagine that your car has just broken down.
You're facing the grim reality and you're about to be on the hook for several thousand dollars just to get it fixed.
You can't not fix it.
I mean, that's how you get to and from work every day.
Now imagine
if you didn't have to worry about that warranty, if your car was already protected by Car Shield and you've locked in the price so it never changes.
Car Shield offers protection plans for around $100 a month.
All you have to do is choose the mechanic to do the work.
Car Shield administrators handle everything else.
You can also count on Car Shield to help take care of you when your car does break down and you're stuck on the side of the road.
Every protection plan includes coast-to-coast roadside assistance, rental car options, and trip reimbursement at no extra cost.
So lock in your price today and it will never go up.
It's CarShield.

So the
FDA, because of a court case, they know that it is unconstitutional to ban terms such as coconut milk and almond milk and oatmeal, oak milk, oat milk.
But because of very powerful lobbyists,
the FDA is now going to ban those things, even though it's unconstitutional, already been settled in court.
They're just going to do it anyway.
Thank you, government, for protecting us because we were so confused as to whether oat milk came from cows.
I had no idea.
I figured the soy milk and the oat milk and all that stuff came directly from an udder.
Can I tell you something?
Most people don't know that milk milk came from a cow.
Thank you for protecting us.
Now, of course,
this is just a way for the dairy industry to protect.
It's protectionism, right?
They they want to make them call it something else so that people don't buy it which again a lot of people don't want to buy oat milk because it's oat milk right or almond milk almond milk they don't want it because they want regular milk but to act as if people can't figure out that almond milk is made from almonds and not coming from an udder is so pathetic and to use the government power is actually i think you're right unconstitutional and how do you well i i know i'm right it was settled in a court case case.
So how are they doing it?
They're just doing it.
They don't care anymore.
They don't care.
I mean, that is the most incredible thing about where we are as a nation.
We are sitting at a time where our government doesn't care.
what the law actually means and what it says.
They're just going to do it anyway.
It's hard to disagree with what you just said.
And that's sad.
I mean, you know, that's why Ron DeSantis was firing that prosecutor
in Florida.
Let me ask it.
Coconut milk.
That's actually what it's called, isn't it?
Is it coconut milk or is it coconut water?
Because if it's coconut water, we shouldn't say that either because it's not really water.
Well, there's both.
There's coconut milk and coconut water.
Well, but it's coconut.
What's in the middle of the coconut?
Is it coconut water or coconut milk?
In the middle of every coconut is an udder, and that's where you get the coconut milk.
Wow.
Okay.

This is the Glen Beck program.
Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Well, we now find out that the FBI reportedly was seeking documents from Donald Trump that Donald Trump believed would exonerate him from the Russian collusion claims and other election-related charges when the agents came down and hit Mar-a-Lago.
The FBI collected all of the documents that were government property and used concerns about classified documents to justify the rape.
But agents apparently were looking for Trump's personal stash containing documents related to the Russian collusion accusations against him.
He knew, and it's why he tweeted out yesterday
a reminder of what he did, I think, on January, late in January of 2020,
or 2021, right before he left office, where he said he was declassifying these particular papers.
They are a smoking gun on the deep state.
He had just said a couple of weeks ago that he was going to start releasing some of these, and then the FBI raid happened is that a coincidence guy who would most likely know and have an inside scoop is bill o'reilly he joins us in 60 seconds
all right today is the very last day if you forget to pick up the new american history book from tuttle twins uh if you miss out today you're going to miss out on all the amazing extras it is evident to all of us that american history has been lost erased and intentionally distorted that's why i I want you to pick up American History.

Mr.
Bill O'Reilly, welcome to the program, sir.
What are your thoughts on the latest revelations and Donald Trump's tweet yesterday about the documents that he said would have exonerated him?
And that's what they were really after.
First of all, Beck, how you doing?
You all right?
I'm good.
Oh, I'm great.
Yeah, it's hot down there, though, right?
It's a little warm.
Yeah, a little warm.
Yep.
Okay.
All right.
So, look, I don't know what the government took.
No one does.
I don't know what Trump had.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
So let me tell you something I do know.
This is not going well for the Department of Justice.
It's not going well.
And the indicator on that is that Joe Biden has disappeared.
He's gone.
We don't know what he's doing.
We know where he is, because you have to know where the president is.
But for the past two and a half weeks, Joe has not been around.
No statements.
You know, he signed a ridiculous inflation-reducing bill, which, of course, won't reduce inflation.
I'm going to have
on my radio program every day.
I'm changing the name
from
the O'Reilly update to I'm going to give you a million dollars.
You can say anything you want now, right?
So, my new radio program is, I'm going to give you a million dollars.
Even though it's not true.
Right.
Well, how could the government stop you from doing it?
Yeah, if the federal government can say, we're going to reduce inflation by spending a half trillion dollars, I can say, My new radio show is, I'm going to give you a million dollars.
Okay.
It's so absurd, so crazy.
So, if the Justice Department had
justification for this unbelievable raid, the highest profile criminal raid in the history of the United States, do you realize that, Bec?
There has never been a higher profile federal raid than this.
Well, because we've never done it to a president before.
It doesn't, that's the number one job in the country.
That's right.
Very good, Doug.
This is the highest profile criminal raid ever.
And they won't tell us
what they're looking for, what the justification was.
Fighting any kind of exposition to tell the folks why they did what they did.
So
this, according to Newsweek, the FBI collected all the documents that were government property, used concerns about classified documents to justify the raid, but agents were looking for Trump's personal stash containing the documents related to Russian collusion accusations against him, fearing that he would weaponize them, according to Newsweek.
One former Trump official said he may have planned to use the documents to help in a presidential run in the coming term.
Trump was particularly interested in matters related to the Russian hoax and the wrongdoings of the deep state.
I think he felt, and I agree, that these facts are facts the American people need to know.
That's ridiculous.
Newsweek is absurd.
That's why it's out of business, and it doesn't have a magazine magazine on the stands anymore.
Donald Trump's attorneys have all of those things, okay?
They have them in computers.
All of the documents that show, and I'm sure there are thousands of them, corruption by the Justice Department in Russian collusion are in the hands of Donald Trump's attorneys.
The FBI does not need to go in and grab paper so that Donald Trump doesn't know what he has in his basement.
Are you following me here?
It's a totally absurd premise.
So Trump does have information
that was compiled that will show the corruption of the FBI during Russian collusion.
That exists.
But it is in the hands of his attorneys.
They have it.
It's not like this one piece of paper and, oh, oh, give me that paper back.
No, that's not how it works.
That Newsweek doesn't know what it's doing.
I think it's run by the Tuttle Twins, I think, run it now.
But it's
insane.
You know, I'm sitting there going, I listen to all of these reports, and I go, this is so crazy.
I can't even imagine it.
Well, it's coming kind of from Donald Trump's camp.
No, but that's okay.
Donald Trump's camp wants the Americans to believe that this raid
was designed to cover up X, Y and Z.
That's what Donald Trump's camp wants people to believe.
So why wouldn't they put it out?
They have documents, they being the Donald Trump organization.
He has them.
To me, I don't know whether he's going to use them in a book or use them in a lawsuit.
I don't know what he's going to do.
Okay?
But this raid by the FBI wasn't predicated on that.
It was predicated on a fishing expedition tied to January 6th.
That's
why they did this.
They were looking for any kind of documentation that Trump was involved with the planning and or encouraged the incursion into the Capitol.
That's what this is all about, Vic.
All right.
Let me change topics to
Liz Cheney.
The headline today is, if not for Democratic voters, Cheney's loss would have been worse.
So we know a lot of Democrats crossed over and voted for Lynn Cheney.
Was that just a, or Liz Cheney, is that just a
cheap political trick?
Or is that a sign that the Democrats in Wyoming wouldn't mind somebody like Lynn Cheney, who's a little more conservative,
you know, but against Donald Trump.
Look, Cheney lost by 40 points, 4-0.
I've never seen a wax like that ever for an incumbent politician.
Okay?
So maybe eight Democrats in Wyoming somewhere up around Cody
crossed over and voted for Liz.
Maybe she took them out to dinner.
Maybe she bought them a snack.
But the fact of the matter is, remember, an open primary, anybody can vote for anybody.
So if the people of Wyoming thought that Liz Cheney was representing them in an effective way, she would have won.
But they don't.
Why?
Very simple.
She allied herself with Nancy Pelosi, the devil in Wyoming, back.
Yeah.
All right.
So
let me change the subject.
Something Stu and I were talking about.
Mitch McConnell is getting hammered by some conservatives because he said, look, the Senate, it's not a done deal.
I don't think it is a done deal.
I think, you know, I wouldn't count this out.
I think you have to overwhelm the ballot box
this fall to be able to have any kind of red wave, even in the House.
Don't take this as a done deal.
The polls are said to be tightening.
Do you believe that's A, true?
And do you believe that's because
of
people are for the Democrats, just not Joe Biden?
Number one, polls don't matter until late September, so these polls are foolish and everybody should ignore them.
Number two, it's all about the candidates.
So I don't think Oz is going to win in Pennsylvania, and that's a winnable race for Republicans there.
Yep.
That's the winnable race.
But I don't think he's going to win.
And why is that?
Donald Trump was betting that he was a guy that everybody knew at name recognition on TV.
People trusted him.
Yeah,
but
this is a
skill-fed game campaigning.
And
it doesn't look to me like he has a grasp of what people in Pennsylvania really are concerned about.
Because maybe he lives in New Jersey, and that's why he doesn't have to.
He's not going to win.
So you take that off the board.
I did see a poll, and again, I'm contradicting myself a little bit because the polls don't really matter now, where Vance in Ohio is now up.
It surprised me because he's another bad candidate.
Arizona, that's a real, oh boy, down there.
Why?
You don't like Masters?
Kelly, I don't know him, but Kelly is a name and a lot of sympathy attached to the attack.
And with the women vote, that matters.
And Gabby Giffords will be out campaigning.
That's a tough one.
I think Wax Halt will win in Nevada.
I think that New Hampshire could go to the Republicans.
The guy up there looks like he has got a grasp on the live-free or die state.
It's all about retail politics, Beck, you know that.
The convincing the people who might be skeptical of you that you are looking out for them.
And, you know, the national polling doesn't really matter.
You've got to be a very, very good campaigner.
Here in New York, we have a
gubernatorial race, Kathy Hokle, perhaps the worst politician I have ever seen in my entire life.
She makes Cuomo look like Abraham Lincoln.
No, no, that is.
Abraham Lincoln is Liz Cheney.
Kitcher.
Yeah, whatever, Liz.
And Pop, she's going to take Stelter's place on CNN, by the way, Liz Cheney.
Oh, yeah.
If it's not there, she'll be on the View.
Nah, the View wouldn't take her,
but CNN would.
Anyway, so Zeldin, the congressman here where I am right now in Selfie County, New York, is running against Hochul, two-to-one registration favoring the Democrats in New York.
Zeldin has a chance because he's running on crime, crime and taxes.
And here in New York, there is just crazy, everybody's crazed about the violent crime here.
Because you keep letting people go.
I mean, mean, these soros people just keep letting people go.
Here's how bad it is.
And this is in New York where you used to live.
All you hear from liberal Democrats in New York is gun control.
It's all you hear.
Guns, gun, guns.
Got to get them off.
Confiscate everybody's guns.
If you are a criminal caught with an illegal weapon on your person in New York City, They do not give you bail.
You can go right out.
You go into the station.
They take your gun.
They photograph you.
They say, show up in three weeks, which you, of course, never will.
And you walk out the door.
So if you're real concerned about this.
When I was there, it was 20 years prison, and everyone said, automatic.
Don't care who you are.
You're caught with a gun that you don't have the license for.
Not an illegal gun.
You don't have a concealed carry permit.
Automatic jail.
They don't even ask questions.
Much, much tougher.
But now you have Hogul, the governor, going, guns, guns, guns, got to ban them, ban them, ban them.
Nobody can have them.
But if you're an illegal criminal and you have a gun, ah, we're not going to punish you.
Okay, thanks.
You know, I mean, I can't give you a better, more stark example of corruption than that.
So Zelda's got a chance because you're on a populist campaign.
That's what you have to do here.
I don't know Mitch McConnell.
I don't know what he's doing.
I never liked him.
He killed Kate's Law single-handedly.
You'll remember that.
Almost had it done.
He killed it.
I don't have any respect for him.
I hope that if the Republicans get the Senate, they boot him and put somebody in that was going to be looking out for the folks.
All right, back with Bill O'Reilly in just a second.
Just about every day on this program, I share the experiences of real people just like you, people who have had their lives changed by taking Relief Factor, and I'm one of them.
I would not be
here today, or at least in the shape that I'm in today, if it weren't for Relief Factor.
Like millions of Americans, I used to live with pain every single day, bad pain, the kind that is incredible to even concentrate on anything because of.
I got my life back through Relief Factor, and I honestly didn't think it would work for me.
Relief Factor is not a drug.
It was developed by doctors, and it has four key ingredients that fight inflammation, which is the source of most of the pain that we deal with and also the source of much of our illnesses.
It could work for you.
70% of the people people who try go on to order more month after month.
So get the quick start, the three-week trial pack.
You can get it at relieffactor.com right now.
ReliefFactor.com.
It's $19.95.
You can call them at 800, the number for relief, that's 1-800-4 Relief or ReliefFactor.com.
Feel the difference.
10 seconds, station ID.
You know, we were talking about Kathy Hochul
and what a great governor she is, according to Bill O'Reilly.
She's fantastic.
Yesterday, she signed in a bill
to make sure that Albany knows that you have to have general new gender-neutral language.
So, salesperson is now
the word officially for the state instead of salesmen.
This is what the government of New York is working on?
Yeah.
Well, I was in Macy's the other day and I wanted to get the attention of a salesperson.
I said, madam, and 18 guys turned around.
No, no.
Oh, yeah, no.
I can't keep up with it.
Hey, can I ask you a question, Beck?
Yeah.
Okay.
Did you read the Breitbart article on me this week?
I did.
I did.
The article on me.
I'm going to tell you something about it.
I told them that one of the reasons, and the headline of the article was the left tried to cancel O'Reilly.
It didn't work, and he's doing great.
And we really appreciate Breitbart actually telling the truth.
Yes.
But I told them that one of the reasons that happened was because of you.
Oh, you didn't need to do that, Bill.
I didn't put that in there.
I don't know why.
You know, they edit these articles all over the place.
I don't think it was a personal thing that they did.
They just didn't want.
They didn't feel it was part of the narrative.
But I wanted your audience to know, because I know a lot of people did read the article on Breitbart.
We have it posted on billorilly.com and go to Breitbart itself.
But the article was one of the few ever positive articles ever written about me.
So I'm still kind of in a state of
stunned
admiration for Breitbart.
That's weird when that happens, isn't it?
Yeah.
But without you,
and this is true, because you were number one.
You were the first one in saying, Look, I'm not buying all this on O'Reilly.
I know him because you know I go way back.
Weren't we in the first grade together back?
No, I was still a baby sperm.
When you were in high school, I remember a conversation I had with you.
I was driving back to Philadelphia, and you said, Look, I'm going to put you on, but you got to tell me the truth.
And I said, I've always told you the truth, and I always will.
And that's true.
Is that correct?
It is true.
We spent probably two hours on the phone, and I grilled you and grilled you and grilled you.
And my wife was there.
You don't probably know this, but I had you on speakerphone.
So my wife, who's got great instincts, she was listening.
And I said, I think I believe you, Bill.
So I, you know, and I told you, if it ever comes out that you're lying to me, I will burn you at the stake on the air.
And you said, I'm not lying.
And
you said something even worse than that.
What did I say?
You said,
if it turns out you're misleading me, O'Reilly, I'm sending Stu to your house.
And he'll do every show with you from here on out.
Think about that.
I mean, I said, look, Bec, I'm telling you the exact truth.
But you had courage to do it.
I, you know, wanted your audience to know that.
I did tell that to Breitbart.
Hannity also puts me on his radio show.
A few others do.
Now, the momentum is all us.
I know.
And if you read the article, you'll see it.
Yeah.
And Bill, I have to tell you,
I've done that for one other person
that was in your situation, and that person has never said anything about it.
And I don't want them to say it publicly.
I don't really care about that.
But you have not only said it to me multiple times personally, which means more to me.
And you've also said it publicly.
And I couldn't be, I hope you know this, I couldn't be happier for your success.
You deserve it.
Well,
you should be proud of yourself that you're a man of courage, Pat.
Thank you very much, Bill.
Bill O'Reilly, you can find him at billo'reilly.com.

It'd be really great if we didn't have to build a parallel economy in this country, but it is pretty clear that that is exactly what we have to do.
Not only are we living in an era of inflation that demands that you find cheaper goods and services, but so many major companies are so woke, it's insane.
And companies that are openly accepting ESG mandates to companies like Verizon who openly donate to Planned Parenthood.
Things are bad.
So, when it comes to your cell phone, stop paying more money than you have to.
Stop paying a huge bill every month where you know they're going to take some of their profits and send it to Planned Parenthood.
Please, build the

This is the Glenn Beck program, Mr.
Michael Malice.
This is the only show that has a swing this dramatic from
Bill O'Reilly to the anarchist Michael Malice.
And I'm standing somewhere in between going, I got to get these two together.
This would be a scream.
Hey, Michael, how are you?
Do you really want to set me up for punchlines against Mr.
O'Reilly?
No, I don't.
I'm friends with both of you.
Play nice.
Well, that wouldn't last long if we were in a room together.
I know.
Have you ever been in a room with him?
He'd pound you to death.
Oh, is that really what you think is going to happen?
Can we not please
be nice?
Play nice.
You said, let's get him in a room together.
I said, okay, then you're like, wait a minute, this is a bad idea.
No, I want people to imagine it.
I don't need to dwell on it with you.
It would be something like Jill and Joe.
Jill.
It'll be Joe.
Okay, all right.
Enough.
How are you, sir?
You know why I'm so fantastic this morning?
Why?
Because this has been a very bad week for the pig people.
First, Brian Stelter is fired from CNN.
Liz Cheney
goes back on her broom to Wyoming.
Okay.
If Officer Harris breaks one of her hooves, it's going to be a trifecta.
So here's the, you know, we talked about the Brian Stelter thing this morning, and Stu did everything he could just to turn the knife in me because I'm trying to not kick someone when they're down.
And
it would be so easy to just
dance on that grave.
Really, for me personally, very easy to do.
And it's not the right thing to do.
It's going to be really hard for that potato to get back up, you know, like when a turtle's on its back.
Okay, all right, okay.
Can I talk to you about the Liz Cheney thing?
Please, yeah.
Okay,
all right.
Your thoughts on the delusions of grandeur from Liz Cheney?
Oh, I think you're a little wrong in this sense if you're talking about her running for president, because what she's going to do, and Glenn, you've been in this business even longer than I have, and you understand how it works.
What happens is you run for president with no intention of becoming president.
You run for president so that when you go on CNN or MSNBC, now the Chiron, the little title on your screen will say, Liz Cheney, former presidential candidate.
And now she can get a huge book deal about what a hero she is.
She can be on TV in perpetuity, and she can hustle money from gullible donors to basically fund a campaign where she goes around the country running her mouth.
So it's a very smart move for her.
I think a lot of Republican voters think, ha, ha, ha, she's going to lose.
She knows she's going to lose, but at the same time, she's going to get enormously wealthy, increase her stature, and she'll get to replace, you know bill crystal or jennifer rubin when they you know go back to their nursing home so what you're so what you're saying to me if i may paraphrase
strike me down and i will become even more powerful
but we've seen this over and over i mean bill bill weld who was you know couldn't even become the ambassador to mexico he had to resign be governor of massachusetts he was on msnbc or cnn in uh 2018 or 19 advocating advocating for President Trump to get the death penalty.
And no one even batted an eye because he was saying, you know, President Trump committed treason.
The punishment for treason is death.
It's insane the levels to which these failures are allowed to be given platforms.
And so
that doesn't take, that's not a surprise to anybody.
I mean, honestly, I think she could take Brian Stelter's job at CNN.
And it would not surprise me.
Of course, the guy who, you know, stabbed Selman Rushdie could get the job, and that wouldn't surprise me.
So,
but that's what they always do.
And I don't think the press has any credibility anymore.
And I really wonder its impact.
Well, I think there is an enormous amount of impact.
Well, first of all,
the Salmon Rushdie job isn't as good as Liz Cheney at killing people.
So she really has that over him.
And in all seriousness, one of the reasons I think this woman is uniquely despicable is as of 2018, she was still telling John McCain how good torture is and how lying about that the CIA's torture program gave us useful information.
So if you're sitting and advocating torture and to John McCain, you're at a level of depravity that's far and above pretty much anyone else in politics.
And I think it's...
going to be hilarious though if she runs and as an independent because andrew yang that snake is doing everything he can to court her, to join his forward party, if you look at his Twitter.
If she runs as a third party and she would draw votes exclusively from anti-Republican people, which would otherwise go to Biden or the Democratic nominee, that press will turn on her so fast, or her heads will spin, and she'll have to go back home to her husband, Hermit the Frog.
We're talking to Michael Malis.
Wait, that's interesting, Michael.
You think all of the votes would come from Democratic votes?
I mean, the idea, I think, of the candidacy, right, would be to pull moderate Republicans who don't like Donald Trump over to vote for her as an independent.
You think they'd all come from the left?
No, they'd all, if she was not there and the choice is Biden or whoever the nominee is versus Trump, all those votes in a binary system are going to go toward the Democratic candidate.
I agree.
They're not going to, they don't like Biden or the candidate, just hate Trump.
That's why they're voting for Biden.
And I really think, Stu, that the people that I've talked to,
they're either for Trump or they're for Ron DeSantis, but they will always say the same thing to me, always.
I really hope that DeSantis is the guy, but I am fully behind Trump if he's the candidate.
You know what I mean?
So I don't think it's like, ah, if I want DeSantis,
I'll vote for Liz Cheney.
Right.
You know, it's just that's, I just think that's that's not going to happen.
I'd love to get your opinion on this.
The editor and national editor and columnist for the Financial Times
kind of echoed the words of our former CIA director, Michael Hayden, who said the Republicans are the most dangerous political force in history.
Luce said, I've covered extremism and violent ideologies around the world over my career.
Hey, I've never come across a political force more nihilistic, dangerous, contemptible than today's Republican.
Nothing even close.
Yeah, I wish the Republican Party was as one-tenth as awesome as they're trying to make them out to be.
They couldn't even abolish NPR.
I'm going to get serious for a second to your listeners.
Every single agency that the Republicans shake their fists about, like the CIA this week, have been funded and supported by Republican congresspeople for decades without batting an eye.
So this claim that they're going to burn anything down is completely fallacious.
They fund things year after year.
As Stu and I discussed when he was on my show a couple years back, when you had Trump in the White House and a Republican Congress, they didn't even try to cut the budget.
Well, I will tell you.
This is completely nonsensical.
This is why I really think that the Republicans have
one more shot.
And they're not going to do it with the people who are in.
It's got to be new blood that is in there.
But
the Mitch McConnells of the world still think it's 1975.
They still think they're playing the same game and nothing has changed because they haven't changed.
However, Republicans have changed.
And Republicans' voters, who I think the party at the upper echelons, despise their own voters.
But they, if Congress gets in and does not
defund the IRS or the
Department of Education, the CIA.
And I'm not saying completely defund it so we don't have that agency.
I know you would.
I'm saying defund it to the part to where it really cripples them until they start doing transparent reforms.
And when I say on the,
I'm only talking about the Department of Justice.
I'm not talking necessarily about the CIA and I'm not talking about the Department of Ed.
I'm fine.
Get rid of them.
I'm fine with that.
Yeah, I think there's a lot to what you're saying.
First of all, it's kind of ironic because new blood is Liz Cheney's favorite breakfast.
But
I do think we're at a point with the Republican base, and they have so much.
Remember, in 2012, Paul Ryan was regarded as the right wing of the party.
That's why Mitt Romney brought him onto the ticket.
I think the base has gotten so enraged, and social media helps them with this at the frauds that the Republican politicians are.
That if they don't start showing receipts, things are going to keep getting uglier and uglier in this country, and the Republicans will be to blame for it in part.
I just stood in front of a bunch of Republicans just this week, and I said, You guys have one more election.
One more.
If you don't produce results, if you get the House or the Senate in January, people that vote for you guys will be done.
We'll be done.
And Donald Trump would be exactly the kind of guy to start a new party.
Or it wouldn't even be starting a new party.
It would be just, who knows what would happen.
I don't mean in terms of violence, just in terms of like, when you have a huge percentage of the population just absolutely disgusted with politics, you know, things start breaking apart in terms of authority, in terms of systems working, in terms of civil disobedience.
You know, things get messy.
We're already almost there.
Thank you so much, Michael.
I appreciate it.
Always a pleasure, folks.
Have a good weekend.
Bye-bye.
Michael Malice.
So if you're a sensible person, I know you are.
You know that you're never more than a single disaster away from losing things that are precious to you.
You wake up in the middle of the night and your house is on fire.
This just happened to a neighbor of mine.
And
they just had finished this house, had moved in.
It was great.
Well, the guys who were doing the roofing, one of the welders or something, I don't know, but they were doing the roof and they were putting the final, you know, flange on and a spark got into the roof and nobody caught it.
And that night, the house burned and it burned from the roof down.
And this house had sprinklers.
So they didn't lose the house per se.
They just destroyed the house from water and everything in it.
And I saw them taking pictures out and, you know, wedding picture, all of this stuff just gone, just gone.
You have pictures, you have camcorder tapes, film reels, everything else thinks that once they're gone, they are gone.
Legacy Box is the answer, and it is a simple answer.
I was walking down the hallway of my house.
And I have pictures of the family and everything else that are just old pictures that we've taken.
They're starting to fade, and they're in a dark hallway.
It's because photographs are not meant to last forever.
I didn't know that, did you?

ABC Wednesdays, the Golden Bachelor is all new.
Hi, Mel.
Hello.
Former NFL star Mel Owens is looking for his second chance at love.
I'm hopeful that I'll find true love.
But these women are in a league of their own.
Mel has never been exposed to women like us.
I don't know how he can handle it all.
The Golden Bachelor season premiere.
To love, happiness, and fun.
Wednesdays, 9-8 Central on ABC and stream on Hulu.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
We've talked to Bill O'Reilly and Michael Malice.
I have a podcast coming out.
Well, it came out last night for Blaze TV subscribers, and you can catch it if you're a Blaze TV subscriber right now.
Tomorrow it'll come out on my YouTube channel.
It is a podcast with Vivek Rameshwami, who is,
quite honestly,
probably
one of my top 10 fascinating people.
Yeah, really smart guy.
Yeah, and can talk about anything.
He's one of maybe two people that I have interviewed that I actually took notes while they were speaking.
You know, because, you know, I try to stay in the conversation, but I wrote down things that I needed to look up, and then I also wrote down other topics that I wanted to bring up with him because he would open a door on something and I'd go, oh, crap, that's a treasure trove of information on that.
If I go that direction, that doesn't happen very often.
And he is truly brilliant.
I mean, he's Harvard and Yale educated and yet a normal human being.
It's quite fascinating.
Yeah, I talked last night to Paul Bond of Newsweek, who wrote an article about how the right is pushing back against woke companies.
And it was, you know, it's a straight news story, but not written as you typically see from
the New York Times
evil, right?
Yeah, and it mentions Vic in there, and it talks about how some of the backing, Peter Thiel was involved, I guess, in the formation of this fund.
It's a serious effort, and it's something that is changing minds
in big finance.
They are, oh, yeah.
Which is big.
Because
you think about some of these people who are at the heads of these companies, and a lot of them don't like ESG.
They don't want to do these things, but they look at the reality of the situation, and all the money's coming from BlackRock.
And so they're trying to do what they can to play the games that's best for the shareholders and what they see is best in the short-term current.
Here's the thing: private company, and this is why this is not the free market.
They say, well, these are private companies doing what they do.
Well, if the government and all of the biggest banks, hedge funds, and insurance companies are in collusion, and the governments of the entire world say fossil fuels are out.
Well, then the banks look at each other and go, well, they're going to just regulate that out of business.
So it is probably
in the best interest of us to play the game because they're not going to fund it.
So why should we stick our necks out and we'll get dinged by going another direction?
That's what's happening.
And this fund gives the people in those positions at some of these companies an argument to say, hey, wait a minute.
What about these guys?
There's hundreds of millions of dollars going over here.
There's a way that we can still get this funding.
We can still get this support.
We can still get this investment
because people are sticking their necks out.
to protect what should be the truth here, right?
That companies should try to do the best thing they can to make their products good for people,
to make the experience good for their users or for their customers, and to do the best thing they can for their shareholders.
That's what this is supposed to be about.
Right.
That's what Vivek's, you know, D-R-L-L listed.
It's an index for the energy sector on the New York Stock Exchange.
Please invest in that.
And his podcast is happening right now.

This is the Glenbeck program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenbeck Program.
Monday, I want to talk about your legacy.
Truly your legacy.
I'm going to talk about what you have done in this country.
It is remarkable.
Remarkable.
And I'm going to talk about that on Monday.
If you are somebody who's like, we're just not going to make any progress, we're not going to win.
You make sure you're listening to me Monday
because
something dawned on me the other day and
there was an article in a newspaper and I'm like, wait a minute.
And it's time to connect the dots about you.
That's on Monday's program.
Today, I want to spend a couple of minutes on a couple of things.
First, we're going to start this hour with the challenge to our dollar.
Every single person that I have ever talked to who is an economist, they all say the same thing.
And I say, the dollar is going to collapse.
And they'll say, no, it's not, Glenn, because it's the strongest thing out there.
And I'm like, yes, but backed by what?
it's it's not strong yes but it's the strongest one out there and I have always ended the each conversation with the same thing
until someone else decides to change that
you are you're driving you're flying around in a blimp and saying yeah but it's the best way to travel Yeah, but one of them just burnt down.
As soon as someone does an airplane, you're out.
Well,
China, President Z just said, I hope every person in the Western world understands what we're doing right now.
Haven't heard that, have you?
I'll give you his warning and what they're doing in 60 seconds.
So apparently the MySlippers that Mike Lindell made are completely sold out or almost completely sold out.

And I'm like, are you kidding me?
I'm wearing my slippers and my bathrobe, you bet.

All right.
So the U.S.
dollar has dominated the global financial system for a long time.
And it is truly one of the main reasons we are so wealthy.
Okay.
Because our dollar...
After World War II, let me just explain this to you quickly.
After World War II,
nobody had any gold except the United States.
We had almost all the gold from from all around the world because the entire Western world was fighting against the Nazis and the Japanese, and they needed ships and planes and bullets and guns and everything else.
And we were one of the only industrial powers that hadn't been bombed.
So we had everything, plus we had cheap energy and we had educated workers.
We could transform our plants to build anything.
We in three years were building more planes, better quality than the Germans were producing.
And they had had, you know, 20 years of building up these plants and getting it down.
So we were a force to be
reckoned with.
And everybody had to buy the stuff from us because it was really their only choice.
And they paid in gold.
So that's one of the reasons why we were so
successful.
When we got off the gold standard, the world thought, okay,
they're going to destroy their dollar and they're doing what's right for America and not right for the rest of the world because we promised them a dollar would equal a dollar of gold.
Then we changed, when we got rid of gold, we said it's going to be the petro dollar.
And it's a deal we made with Saudi Arabia that oil could only be purchased in U.S.
dollars.
Okay, so everybody had to hold those dollars because if you wanted oil, it could only be purchased in U.S.
dollars.
So they kept all of our money into the banks.
All the sovereigns kept
gold, fat chance, and dollars in their banks.
And that's how the world works.
Once the dollar is over,
Rocky,
can be replaced, believe me, it will be.
So the international system is maintained maintained by several dollar-dominated organizations like the IMF, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization.
I want to point out that all of the aboard are on board, or all of the above are on board with the Davos
and the Great Reset.
And countries like Russia and China and Saudi Arabia know this.
So when we...
went into Ukraine, there was one action by the West that changed and accelerated absolutely everything,
everything.
It was the dollar-dominated system.
It took hundreds of billions of dollars held by the Russians and made it go poof.
We ghosted hundreds of billions of dollars.
Now imagine if Saudi Arabia or China or anybody did that to us.
If we were holding all of their money, and I'm going to show you how it's going to happen with China soon because of people like BlackRock and what they're doing with investments in China.
But imagine billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars, just disappear overnight because China says we no longer agree with you.
But imagine if it wasn't in the stock market, it was actually dollars that were held instead of gold.
And the promise was it will always be worth the price of gold.
So China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, remember, we don't have a gold-backed dollar.
We now have a petro dollar.
Saudi Arabia, part of it, they are like, you know what?
I just don't, I think we should get out of the dollar business.
Well, that's easy to say, harder to do.
Okay.
First, what they had to do was start to decouple.
from the entire thing.
And the Axis powers already had this in works.
Iran announced that they're now officially ditching the dollar in trade, and their growing ally now is Russia.
They also announced similar trade plans with China, India, and Turkey.
Iran, Russia, and Turkey.
So, you know,
that has never happened before.
And that is literally what the Bible in end time revelation refers to as Gog and
Magog,
the two,
the coalition, if you will, that is the coalition of the Antichrist,
Gog and Magog, that is Iran, Russia, and modern-day Turkey.
They met last month and they all but admitted a new anti-American alliance that they call, quote, the axis of good.
I would say it's the axis of evil.
But remember, in a time where all good is made to be bad and all bad is made to be good, they're calling themselves the axis of good.
As the Western G nations met in June, another economic and military pack was meeting nearly simultaneously.
It was the BRICS Summit that nobody strangely was really covering or paying attention to.
BRICS is composed of BRIC, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
It's just five countries, but the potential is massive.
Each country has participation in their own individual trade blocks.
For instance, Brazil is part of the South American Free Trade Area, which has 11 members.
Russia is part of the European Economic Union, the trade area, with eight members.
India, South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, eight members.
China has their own partnership with 15 members.
South Africa has a trade agreement with 34 member states.
Now, I point this out because this Axis is a juggernaut.
It could become a juggernaut and hostile to the U.S.
dollar really fast.
So at the beginning of the BRICS summit, President Z was there.
And he declared that the West was, quote, weaponizing the world's economy.
We were.
Everything we do, if you don't agree with what the West is saying, particularly America, we'll cut you off.
Well, that's not really a stable system.
So they got together and the BRICS, at the BRICS Summit, they laid out 75 points.
And here's what President Z was saying.
He urged people in the West to read it.
Now, why would he do that?
Because he wants you to know exactly what's coming.
For the economic axis of evil or good to replace the dollar international system, they must first find a way to operate outside of the IMF, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization.
And the dollar is the last one.
The IMF, International Monetary Fund,
and the World Bank, these are the ones that, you know, kind of settle debts and work together and decide who's going to, you know, get some bailouts, who's not.
The WTO is the Western trade agreement.
And then the dollar is the one that everybody uses.
Points 37 and 38 are about, quote, enhancing cooperation on supply chains between BRICS countries and their partners.
And it goes into specifics.
But it's clear what this is about.
They're going to replace the World Trade Organization.
Point 39 talks about a, quote, new development bank that has just been opened in Shanghai.
That's their solution to both the World Bank and the IMF.
Point 49 talks about the new Intra-Bricks trade system that can make transactions within their group.
What does that mean?
Do you remember when we kicked the world off of Swift?
We'll get them now.
They won't be able to make transactions because we're the only one with a system that can make those inner bank and inner country transactions.
We're going to kick them off of Swift.
Huh.
There's a new intra-bricks trade system that will do what Swift used to do.
The last thing is to ditch the dollar.
And they can completely circumvent Western sanctions.
But it also will mean that half the world will dump their dollars.
You think there's inflation now?
Wait until half of the countries of the world no longer need to use the dollar,
no longer believe it's worth its weight in gold, and just dump them.
Putin said directly, right out in the open during the BRICS summit, They are telling us what they're going to do.
They are urging us to pay attention.
And we are so arrogant that we are not taking it seriously.
Everything I pointed out to all of those friends and economists that I've talked to over the last 20 years,
that the dollar is going to be dethroned.
And they said, no, because there's no other system.
You don't understand.
And I said, I understand the free market and humans enough to know
there's a point of no return where people say, you know what?
It's not worth it.
Let's build something else and then clobber the dollar.
That will never happen.
Well, I've lived in a point of history where I've seen too many things that cannot happen
happen.
By the way,
if you have to live under this system, which we will,
All of this goes through, I want you to know this.
Brazil is the the world's second largest soy producer.
Russia is the largest wheat producer.
South Africa is top 10 in corn.
China has a quarter
of the world's grain.
India is number two in rice.
You add Saudi Arabia and we're done.
What is it we're doing?
We should be reinforcing.
We should be unleashing our
energy
producers.
We should be unleashing our farmers.
There's new stories out today that 75% of the farmers and ranchers either sold off a good portion of their cattle for slaughter, and if they were
growing crops,
a third of it they plowed under.
We should be
going the opposite direction.
We are regulating and squeezing our own people and then pissing off the rest of the world.
Prepare for impact because it will come.
It's not a conspiracy theory.
It is not insane.
Russia and China are doing it now.
Prepare yourself.
All right, somewhere out there, the sun is peeking through a window on a sleeping young man with a broad smile on his face, and he snores happily.
No doubt soon his mother's gonna wake him up and say, You know, I cooked your breakfast.

Welcome back to the program.
There was something else.
I've just got to go through all of these news stories because it'll be next week before we get a chance to talk about.
By the way, Wells Fargo is retreating from the mortgage business.
They've dominated the mortgage business.
They are now planning a major retreat from that mortgage business.
Gee, another major warning sign just flashed up for the housing
market.
And I got something else I want to switch, but before I switch, I want to play the Vivek Ramashwami
piece on one other thing you should be concerned about.
And this involves probably your 401ks.
We've been talking about ESGs, but ESGs are a systematic risk.
They're too risky to
invest in.
Well, he told me, if that's the case, then how come we're not talking about this?
Listen to this.
That's what they say is that climate risk is investment risk because the laws are going to change and investors need to take that into account.
And according to Al Gore and Larry Fink, you might be violating your fiduciary duty if you don't take those climate risks into account.
Okay, hold that thought.
Those same institutions, let's take BlackRock, for example, are advocating for investments into Chinese companies.
Larry Fink says China is the possibly greatest growth area for investment over the next decade.
Here's a fun fact that a lot of people don't know, okay?
When people buy a share of Alibaba or of Tencent, these are some of the biggest technology companies in the world, they're Chinese companies, and an American buys those shares, they think they own Alibaba or Tencent.
I'm going to share some facts with you.
They don't.
What they actually own is a Cayman shell company that has the name Alibaba and Tencent attached to it that has a contractual arrangement with the real Alibaba and Tencent to get a share of the profits.
Why is that?
Because there's a law in China that says says that you can't be a non-Chinese person who owns a Chinese technology company or Chinese companies in many other sectors.
So it's illegal per Chinese law to own that.
So what they've created is these Cayman Shell companies that have an entitlement to a profit stream, and then they sell them to U.S.
investors saying that, hey, you're actually buying Alibaba and Tencent basically, and they market the heck out of it.
Why do I bring that question up?
Wow.
I mean, this is going to be like, I think people could lose a lot of money in the next four years.
If China invades Taiwan, China's done.
They're going to say that, you know, we don't recognize those contracts anymore because they were always illegal under our law.
What China's done in the meantime is they're not enforcing that.
Occasionally, courts have enforced it, actually.
So when Yahoo tried to get some acclaim on an ownership of an asset that it had that sat under Alibaba, Chinese courts actually said, Actually, your piece of paper is worthless because under Chinese law, we don't recognize foreign owners of these Chinese companies.
So they do selectively enforce it, but most of the time, China's looked the other way.
Okay, stop.

So Lois lives in Ohio.
She recently wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Greens.
She says, Alexis loves Rough Greens.
She's joined the Lick My Bowl Clean and Push It Hard Club now.
I love this.
This is exactly what Uno and now our new dog, Damon, also do.
I hear the bowl being lick clean so hard they just pound up against the floorboards.
Anyway, she said, I've never seen her so content with her dog food.
In the afternoon, she'll return to her empty bowl and lick it again.
She's more than active dog now.
Thank you, Rough Greens, for being tremendous at what you do.
Four paws up.
This is not a dog food.
This is a supplement.
It has everything your dog needs.
And if your dog likes it as much as Lois' dog does and my two dogs do and Stu's dog and Pat's dog,
then you're going to see a tremendous change over the next few months as you feed them rough greens.
But let's get past the first thing.
Rough greens, they want you to pay for anything if your dog doesn't like it, so they're going to send you a free trial bag just to see if your dog likes it.

Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, what would Friday be without
the monkeypox update?
I mean, I don't even think it would qualify as a Friday because
this is something that you have to have in your head all weekend.
And you'll try to get it out of your head.
But you might be on a date tonight and you'll sing to yourself,
Monkey Pox.
Yeah.
You're welcome, America.
All right, let me just give you our latest monkeypox update.
Have you seen the picture of the guy who went to the doctor?
And
the doctor said, I think it's just a bad sunburn.
Turned out to be monkeypox.
The reason why I tell you this is not because I think you might be having multiple partners and homosexual sex.
But I tell you this because it's a warning.
Do not click on the picture.
I did this morning.
I clicked on the story in the post
and I regretted it and you'll never ever be able to unsee it.
It's
horrible.
Okay?
Horrible.
It's, you know, have you ever seen where, you know, they've got that VX gas and they're like, don't drop this, you know, on the, what, the rock?
Don't drop this
because it'll melt your skin and you'll die immediately.
I would rather drink a glass of VX
than even see that picture again.
It's horrible.
Message: don't click on the picture.
More important,
don't have multiple partners.
You know,
you might want to slow down on that.
You know, if you're homosexual, great, good.
Have one partner.
This guy had syphilis,
AIDS,
and now monkeypox.
Congratulations.
Holy cow.
No, I should add to that.
And multiple partners.
That's a rough set of.
I mean, you don't want that combo.
You don't want that.
That's not the combo you want to get.
By the way, some good news here.
The UN has just let us know that their special rapporteur.
I don't even know what that is.
Do you know what that is?
No.
Go ahead, Sarah.
No.
Sarah was just saying something in your ear and not to mine.
We were just thinking that that really is not the combo you want to get.
That's just if you're going to get a combo, that's not the one you want.
Yeah.
You want to avoid the age.
I'm not.
Monkeypox.
What was the third one?
Syphilis.
Syphilis.
It's not like I'm pulling up to any fast food restaurant and saying, give me the combo.
And if you get it, don't supersize it.
It's going to be.
How would you supersize it?
You don't want to find out.
That's probably what the picture was.
All right.
So, anyway,
oh, don't bring up that picture again.
Really, don't click on it.
I'm not saying this, hoping that you'll click on it.
I'm
saying this because really, did you click on it?
No, some things are just better to not look.
Yeah, I was just too curious.
And I'm never curious.
That killed the cat, which I'm normally for.
Not in this case.
All right, anyway.
The special repertoire
on contemporary forms of slavery has just come out and said, you know what?
It is reasonable to conclude that China
does have forced labor camps and concentration camps.
They're on it.
Wow.
They're on it.
Now, they said, we're pretty sure this is happening, but we should have some more talks on it, meetings, and maybe another study
to make sure.
But they say they are exploiting the Uyghurs and committing crimes against humanity, which include all kinds of things.
But what kills me is what they led with,
it wasn't slavery.
It wasn't, you know, rape.
It wasn't mutilation.
It wasn't the fact that they're in internment camps.
They led with excessive surveillance.
Isn't that interesting?
By the way,
the Panopticon is a jail.
Look it up.
You can look this up.
It doesn't have any pictures of the guy's nose.
The Panopticon is a prison where the guards, it was a circle and the guards were in the center.
And so they could see every single cell at all times and know what was going on.
It was deemed inhumane because you cannot live like that.
This is the world we're headed towards, that your entire world will be a panopticon.
Anyway.
I just want to point out, as you mention the surveillance that leads to imprisoning millions of
people that are innocent and ruining their lives in prison camps, that our former CIA director said the Republican Party was the most dangerous and contemptible organization.
Thank you.
This is where you're going.
That's exactly where I was going.
Darn it.
I'm sorry.
Exactly.
No, no, no.
That's exactly where I was going.
General Michael Hayden tweeted, I agree.
And I was the CIA director when someone said that the Republican Party was the most extreme and violent ideology around the world.
That they have never come across a political force more nihilistic, dangerous, and contemptible than today's Republicans.
Nothing close.
The CIA director said, I agree.
And I was the CIA director.
And think of the, I mean,
it's just one example.
No,
let me give you this.
The New York Times, Charles Blow, is the guy who started this.
And this is in an opinion piece saying that Republicans, forget the label, that's people, your neighbors, your neighbors.
I would not say this.
In fact, I correct people.
I was just on stage this week in Salt Lake, and they were talking about things.
And I said, look,
we have to look at the people on the other side, and we look at them as the enemy.
We cannot do that.
There are some that will never change, never get it, and they'll always work to destroy and overthrow and burn things down.
Those people will have to be tried in a court of law.
Everyone else, we cannot make them in an enemy that we see them our neighbors the same way.
Because they're not.
They're different.
And
this is not what the left, the leadership and the main thinkers and those former CIA director.
are saying.
New York Times, Republicans are America's problem.
We must stop thinking it's hyperbolic to say that the Republican Party itself is now our threat to democracy.
I understand the queasiness about labeling many of our fellow Americans in that way.
Yeah, only half the country.
I understand that it sounds extreme and overreaching, but how else are we going to describe what we're seeing?
Now, so you know, I'm not a Republican.
I've never been a registered Republican.
I voted for everyone from Donald Trump to Joe Lieberman.
Okay.
I'm an independent,
but
I will be
and am a Republican to everyone who would write something like this.
So independents, don't think that you're immune from this.
Republicans are the threat to democracy because of their preferred form of democracy, one that excludes and suppresses giving Republicans a fighting chance of maintaining control.
That is the danger.
For modern Republicans, democracy only works, and it is only worth it when when and if they win.
Republicans have searched for multiple election cycles for the right vehicle and packaging for their white nationalism, religious nationalism, nativism, craven capitalism, and sexism.
He said it is they're running headlong in their bigotries and intolerances and oppressions.
Okay, so that's that's what they think
of us.
That's who we are.
Now,
I want you to know that the guy who wrote that was born in 1968.
So I am four years older than him.
So we've lived pretty much the same kind of life and seen the same things.
This means that he has lived through, I'm speaking globally, not in America, globally.
He lived through the tail end of the Soviet Union and the gulags and the torture
and the deaths.
He lived through Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini and what they're doing today with the tortures, the disappearances, the death, throwing homosexuals off the roof of buildings as their punishment in current day Iran.
He lived through China's Tiananmen Square.
He lived through Iraq's Saddam Hussein.
He lived through the Rwandan genocide.
He lived through Milosevic in Yugoslavia, Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda,
the Islamic State, what's happening today once again in Afghanistan.
Bashir
Al-Sad,
Hezbollah, Hamas,
Vladimir Putin,
the
concentration camps and slavery
in China
and for him
today's Republican Party is worse than any of those quote by
far
our good
Democrat neighbors
who been swept up into craziness, craziness.
We have to be able to say to them, look,
you may not be a Trump person.
I get that.
But you're not one of these people
that say, me,
your former friend, your neighbor, your daughter, your son,
who you've now said, I want nothing to do because you voted for Donald Trump or you're a Republican.
Do you really, because this is where we're going, it's not just that I can't be friends with you anymore.
You are now putting me into a category that is more violent and extreme than any of that.
If you actually don't stand up now and you actually believe that,
let me ask you what's the next step.
What do you do with 50% of the population that you now believe is worse than the people
that ran the gulags, throwing homosexuals off the buildings,
torturing women,
using them as slaves?
What do you do with people that you say are worse than those who are maintaining slave centers and internment camps?
What do you do with those people?
Because you certainly can't live next door to them.
See, people don't understand
we're on a staircase
and every step you take is going down deeper and deeper and deeper and darker and darker.
You have to ask yourself, okay, if I believe this, what's next?
And if they say, say, oh, there's no slippery slope,
you remind them that you probably were the person that said, look, I don't have a problem with gay marriage.
I'm not a homophobe.
Okay?
If they want to get married, they can get married.
Fine.
But let's not change the whole system because the next thing that will be happening is we'll say that men are women.
And children and pedophiles.
That's their own decision.
And your neighbor most likely said, you're crazy, that would never happen.
That's the slippery slope.
You cannot accept people who are saying this.
Put them on record right now.
I'm your friend or former friend.
You have to stand against this.
Because they didn't just say Republicans.
They said Republicans and our neighbors.
Back in a minute.
So right about now, the economy being what it is, I'm guessing you'd be perfectly fine with selling your house and moving to, hmm,
I'm trying to think where you could move where it would be safe.
Here's an idea.
Move someplace where it's a very small town, just group of farmers.
I know they're in trouble too, but group of farmers, people who just are, find a religious community.
I don't care what they are.
I'd live with the Amish over any place near Philadelphia or New York.
And quite honestly, if they made me wear the black thing and even the bonnet, and they're like, no, you're a girl.
Come on, man.
No, we're only saying that because you're not really Amish and we want you to wear the bonnet so we can make fun of you.
I would wear the stinking bonnet.
All right.
Sell your home.
If you need to, you need somebody who is really good at doing that because it's starting to get dicey on the home front.
You want the best price, but you also want to be able to find the right home wherever it is you're moving to.

We're just talking about the former
the former director of the CIA saying Republicans are the most violent
extreme political force ever ever covered.
Dangerous, nihilistic.
Yeah, this is most dangerous and nihilistic force he's ever seen.
You we people say this a lot, and I think it's over gets overstated, but this is one of the most unbelievable moments that I can ever remember in politics.
Okay, so I would say I started saying that this morning when I first read this, okay, that this is the most unbelievable thing.
We say that all the time.
I think we need to change it on this one.
This is the most dangerous thing I have ever seen.
Yeah, I mean, think of a CIA director.
This is a guy who saw footage of Assad's regime firing chemical weapons at innocent people and gassing children.
This is a person who knows with all sorts of detail Boko Haram kidnapping children, murdering them, al-Qaeda, the Chinese government, the Venezuelan government, the cartels in Central America.
Think of the horrible things.
North Korea.
This guy has seen it all.
That's why it's more dangerous.
If Joy Reed would have said it, we would have rolled our eyes and went, of course she said that.
It still would have been bad and dangerous.
But this guy is.
Intimate knowledge of all of this and
power.
It's one of the most unbelievable, I mean, the most dangerous moment I've ever seen.
This man had this power.
This is incredible.
But we'd never do that.
Oh, oh, wait a minute.
We have the Japanese internment camps.
The entire country said, don't inter the Japanese until an event happened.
Pearl Harbor.
And then it didn't matter what the facts were.
A demagogue president whipped him up into power and we interned the Japanese.
