We gotta stand together, it's the corresponding

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 Glen Beck Program.

Hello, American.

Welcome to the Glen Beck Program.

It is Thursday, and we have a lot on our plate today that you are going to love.

We have Nancy Pelosi now answering the question, did your son go with you to Taiwan?

Well, yeah,

he just wanted to cuddle on the plane, you know.

Wait until you hear her answer and the facts that nobody in the mainstream media wants you to deal with.

Also,

the president is being mocked now for saying, I plead the fifth 455 times yesterday.

I'm going to show you why he pled the fifth and what this man is actually experiencing in life.

It is much worse than you could possibly imagine.

We go there in 60 seconds.

So we got a letter in from Marie.

She writes in about her dog's experience with rough greens.

She says, I have three German shepherds.

Love German shepherds.

One of which is an elderly gentleman.

He's a difficult eater, but with rough greens, he actually is licking his bowl morning and night.

Same experience with mine.

My other two are eating great as well.

I highly recommend rough greens to all my friends.

Thank you so much.

If you're not feeding your dog rough greens,

your dog is, and they're eating kibble food, your dog is just not getting the nutrition that they need.

Rough greens is not a food.

It's something you sprinkle on top.

Dogs love it.

We just got our new dog, Damon,

on Monday.

I don't know.

He's really young, but he is like all keyed up.

He's like, I want to bite somebody.

Is there a robber around?

come on, let's go.

Come on.

Let me sniff out a bomb or something.

Can we do that?

I mean, he is really intense.

He's eating rough greens, loves it.

Uno, I can't decide yet.

Uno either doesn't like him or he's like, thank God somebody younger is in to do this job because I surrender.

We're feeding him rough greens because we love our dogs.

And if you do too, and you want to give this a shot, you'll see a big difference.

Just feed them for, you know, about three to six months and you will continue to see changes day after day uh get a free bag just to make sure your dog likes it at roughgreens.com slash peck that's rough greens.com slash peck or 833 glenn33

so um i just want to play

a couple of uh couple of pieces here um

and i don't have it on my sheet but i was under i understood that we have the audio of uh the attorney general in new york Now, this is the person who's asking him questions, and the media is like,

he's saying I plead the fifth.

Why would you do that unless you're guilty?

Well, first of all, that's not what the Fifth Amendment says.

It's not like, if you're guilty, just say plead the fifth.

It is so you aren't trapped into

something.

Especially if you have a nasty ass attorney general going after you.

Now,

why would I say she's nasty ass?

You've never really looked at her ass, have you?

No, I haven't.

I haven't.

However,

I have listened to what comes out of her mouth.

You tell me if you had a Republican saying this about even Joe Biden, elect me because

the left and the Democrats would say, oh, they're going to get a fair shake in a deposition.

Listen Listen to this.

What is fueling my soul right now is Trump.

Will you sue him for us?

Oh, we're going to definitely sue him.

We're going to be a real pale.

I look forward to going into the office of Attorney General every day, suing him, and then going home.

He's going to know my name personally.

Okay,

so that's who he's facing.

Somebody who is in his soul.

She lives to put him in jail.

She's going to sue him and then go home.

And the next day, sue him and go home

donald trump i don't think has ever i don't think there's anyone in american history and i'm seriously asking if you think you know of somebody let me know i don't think there's ever been a politician or anybody in the public view that has not had any charges brought against him sorry has not found been found guilty or had any kind of real solid evidence against him that has gone through what he has gone through we know about the impeachments we we know that they have been accusing him of russia stuff we you know a perfect phone call that wasn't a perfect phone call i'll show you a perfect phone call all of the stuff that you know about

well let me just give you the um

the lawsuits that he's currently dealing with.

He's dealing with the one in New York.

He has

Gene Carroll, the defamation and federal tort claims.

Carroll is suing Trump for defamation after he publicly accused her of fabricating rape allegations against him.

Summer Zervos, a former contestant for The Apprentice, has filed a civil suit against the former president for defamation after he claimed her allegations of his unappropriate sexual contact were lies designed to help the Clinton campaign.

Okay, the Mary Trump fraud litigation.

Mary Trump is sues Donald Trump for defrauding her out of millions of dollars in an inheritance dispute.

Really?

That comes up right after he's.

I mean, how long has that been going on?

Mary, Panama hotel fraud and tax litigation.

He has the

John Doe versus the Trump Corporation class action.

A group of anonymous plaintiffs have filed a class action suit against the Trump family and their businesses.

Allege that the Trumps use their brand to to scam investors into paying for worthless business opportunities.

You have the D.C.

civil suit over misuse of 2017 inauguration funds.

You have the Representative Karen Bass et al.

incitement suit for January 6th.

This is 10 members of the House represented by the NAACP that are suing Trump, Rudy Giuliani, two white right-wing militia groups for conspiring to forcibly prevent Congress from counting the Electoral College votes on January 6th.

Eric Swalwell, you know, Fang Fang's thing.

The incitement suit, he's suing him for, along with Mo Brooks

and Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump, they're all being sued for the same thing.

He's incited this.

The Capitol Police, two Capitol Police officers, both on duty January 6th, insurrection, sued Donald Trump for his injuries that they sustained.

Then you have 10 Capitol police suits from January 6th.

Second group of Capitol police officers filing suit against Donald Trump, the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers.

Then you have a third.

Capitol police suit over the January 6th.

Third suit, one Capitol police officer alleging physical and emotional injuries he suffered.

Then you have, of course, the Metropolitan Police suit.

So he's got all these individual cops, and then the union decided, you know what, we're going to sue him too.

Then you have the NAACP's legal defense fund over the voting rights for post-election actions.

Then you have the New York Attorney General's civil and criminal investigations.

There's tons of that.

Then you have the Scotland Unexplained Wealth Orders lawsuit.

Then you have the Trump Tower assault suit.

Then Michael Cohen is suing him for retaliatory imprisonment.

Then you have criminal investigation into Trump's finances.

Let's see here.

There's a whole bunch of updates on that.

Then you have the DCAG incitement criminal investigation.

You have the Fulton County, Georgia Criminal Election Influence Investigation.

You have the Westchester, New York criminal investigation of the Trump Organization golf course.

You have the National National Archives investigation that he mishandled classified material.

I don't think I have all of them.

Okay.

I don't think I have all of them.

I don't know of anyone who has ever had this kind of a coordinated attack against them.

If you don't think a lot of these are funded by, you know,

the left and Soros and those kinds of people, you're fooling yourself.

You're fooling yourself.

They are doing everything they can just to get this guy to give up.

This is what it means to stand against the machine.

I have to tell you, I don't know what Donald Trump would do with a second term.

I don't know.

But I know they don't want him to have one.

I know for sure

he knows who they they are,

and I can't imagine anyone more motivated to bust this machine up than him.

What is it about him that they despise?

And don't tell me it's because, oh, he's just, he's rude.

He's, that's what he's rude.

Really?

Is that it?

So wait a minute.

Let me see.

You guys are hanging out with hookers and criminals and the Chinese Communist Party, and you don't like him because he's rude?

Don't think so.

The rule of law is an absolute joke in America.

And I want to show you: have you seen anyone who has come under this kind of persecution

even after he leaves office?

And trust me, if he would have won

a second term, which I think he did, but

I don't know.

If he won a second term, they wouldn't be doing all these lawsuits at the end of that.

This is not some moral outrage.

This is just to stop him.

By the way, I talked to some sources in New York last night, and it came out early this morning or late last night that

his attorney was kept 10 feet away from the warrant.

They flashed the warrant and said,

here's the warrant.

Let me see it.

No,

after.

They held the warrant away, 10 feet away.

She was not allowed to grab the warrant and read the warrant.

That is against the law.

That's against the law.

Then after they left, they handed her the warrant.

Now, she didn't get the attachments, and I think that is legal.

You don't necessarily get the affidavits attached to it right away, but you do eventually see that.

They now have that.

But she wasn't allowed to see it, nor was she, his attorney, allowed to go into Mar-a-Lago.

When they went in, they

went into his bedroom, spent an enormous amount of time in Melania's closet.

They broke into his safe in his office.

That warrant better damn well say that they can break into that safe because the law is you can't go into somebody's house and search and just tear it all apart.

You have to have a pretty good idea of where things might be located.

You ask for permission for those areas and you have to know exactly what you're looking for.

And if it's in a safe, you need to specifically say it's in a safe safe and we're having a safe cracker come in.

If they didn't say in the warrant that they could crack his safe, it's the fruit of the poison tree.

By the way, there was nothing in the safe.

What they broke into

was a safe room that he had shown the

National Archives and investigators as they were talking about,

you know, the archives that they said should be in the National Archives.

He said it should be at home.

We're working it out between our attorneys.

They said, fine, you just have to have this in a locked room.

So he made a safe room and put two locks on it at their request.

That's what they broke into.

This

doesn't sound good for the FBI.

And I think that is why Merritt Garland now is suddenly like, I didn't know about it.

I had no idea this was Christopher Wray.

You didn't know about it?

You should be fired by the president if your staff underneath you just says, you know what, I'm going to go into the house of a foreign, I mean, a former president and do a search before we issue a subpoena.

That's insanity.

But I want to show you.

exactly what you're looking at.

And I think you're going to understand

Washington, D.C.

a little better.

We'll do that in a second.

First, welcome to the Banana Republic of the United States, where we sell socks and shirts and all kinds of overput.

No, LeBron, Banana Republic.

Leave your hat and coat at the door.

Someone will ask you soon for your papers.

Yeah.

This is...

This is entering the zone of a banana republic.

I think we're already there, but we can correct the course if we do it soon.

Any more rot, and we are done.

The survival of our nation depends on the education of our children.

I don't honestly know how our country pulls from the brink.

I don't know.

I believe in miracles.

I believe in the American people.

But somebody on any side does something stupid and it's going to be over.

It's going to be over.

We have to plant these truths that we have all found self-evident deeply into our children.

We need them to understand

how this country came to be, why it came to be, why we found these things to be self-evident, because they're not self-evident.

You have to be taught them.

We have a great offer for you and your kids that includes an audiobook version and workbooks for a new book, a history book, America's History.

It tells the story.

You can even preview the free sample chapter and you can see for yourself why it's needed, why I think it's crucial right now.

You'll see everything they're including in the offer, including the audiobook version at tuttletwinsbeck.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

All right.

Criminal indictment, imprisonment for former heads of state.

You know, this happens in Argentina, Bolivia, El Salvador, Colombia, Guatemala, Panama, Peru, Paraguay, Costa Rica.

They all have former leaders in prison.

This is what banana republics do.

We've never done it.

I so strongly disagreed until I had a multiple uh hour conversation with mike lee where he's explaining to me why you can't open this can of worms when everybody was saying lock her up why didn't donald trump lock her up because you do not want to open this can of worms does anyone think that the Republicans are going to get in and they're not going to start locking people.

You want to play that game?

Two can play that game.

And then it just spirals out of control.

So we don't play that game.

We know, I mean, look at what Hillary Clinton did.

Using her private email server, she committed numerous felonies.

Numerous.

She used her private email server at her home to send classified and top-secret information.

Then she and her staff destroyed all the evidence.

She wasn't charged.

Her whole staff were given immunity.

Okay.

We have so many problems going on, but let me give you one.

Nancy Pelosi was asked yesterday, hey, we noticed in a picture, your son seemed to be on Air Force 2, or whatever you call it when the Speaker of the House is taking it.

flying to Taiwan.

Your son doesn't really have a job.

Was your son on the plane, Nancy?

Because he wasn't on the manifest that you released.

Was he on the plane?

Here's what she said.

There are some reports that your son was on this trip with you.

Yes, he was.

Yes, he was.

Look at her.

His role was to be my escort.

Usually

we invited spouses.

Not all could come, that I had him come, and I was very proud that he was there, and I'm thrilled.

And it was nice for me.

Yeah.

Oh, that's good.

It was nice for him.

Of course, he did not.

Oh, of course he didn't do any business over there.

Yes, he did.

Yes, he did.

No, he didn't.

She just said she wasn't.

Oh, yeah,

all right.

All right, okay.

Of course not.

Of course not.

How about of course not?

Okay.

You know, I just think we should look at Nancy Pelosi, and I just want to say she's amazing.

When she was elected in the late 1700s, her net worth was $3 million.

When she came to Congress, her net worth was $3 million.

Now, I don't know what happened, but they got very good at investing.

By 2008, their wealth went from $3 million

to $31 million.

Now, that's not bad as a public servant, you know.

By the end of, now that's 2008,

by the end of Obama's term, 2012,

no, 16,

Her wealth,

eight years of Democrats ruling the government, her wealth went from $31 million

to $61 million.

Now, I don't know about you, but boy, that economy seems to be roaring for them, huh?

They are really good.

Now, that was in 2016, $61 million.

Two years

later.

Two years later, her wealth went from $61 million to $114 million.

What investors

they are.

I'll tell you more about it in a second.

The Glenn Back Program.

So, Salaya wrote in about her experience with Relief Factory.

She said, I've had nights where I just couldn't even lie down in bed.

I'd have to get up, sit in my recliner.

I've woken up in excruciating pain.

And if it wasn't for Relief Factor, I wouldn't be able to function.

Relief Factor has helped me.

I'm grateful.

Thank you so much.

Salaya, thank you for writing in and for trying Relief Factor.

It's joy when you get your life back, isn't it?

Relief Factor is not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, has four key ingredients that fight inflammation.

I was talking to Megan Kelly yesterday.

She takes Relief Factor for her shoulder.

She said,

I turned her on to it.

Well,

you know,

when you talk about me, turn on usually is the operative word.

But I digress.

Ladies, I'm happily married, please.

ReliefFactor.com.

I want you to call 1-800, the number 4-relief, 800-4-relief.

Try their three-week quick start.

See if it works for you.

You'll know in about three weeks.

And it's relief factor.com.

It's 1995.

ReliefFactor.com.

Relief Factor.

Feel the difference.

If the last couple of days haven't convinced you we need Blaze TV, I don't know what will.

Blazetv.com slash Glenn.

Promo code is Glenn.

All right, so wait a minute.

So Nancy Pelosi comes into office.

She has $3 million.

Then by the time Obama gets into office, that's ballooned to $31 million.

By the day he leaves office, that's ballooned to $61 million.

Are you getting the trend here?

I mean, just in eight years of...

She's good at this.

She's very good at this.

She knows the markets.

Right.

And then two years later, two years later, her 61 turns into $114 million.

It's incredible.

She's great.

She She should leave.

She's a home office.

Yeah.

Can you imagine?

I mean, I didn't invest in a hedge fund that was doubling their money every two years.

Now, here's the problem.

She's just too interested in public service.

Oh, you know, this is the thing.

If she's got such a heart so good at investing that if she had just leave, she would just leave her post

as Speaker of the House, she could make trillions of dollars.

Wow.

But she's sacrificing and staying in there despite the fact she's able to double her money every couple of years.

It's incredible.

Now, she did it again with that $5 million in computer chips before Congress voted on their semiconductor bill.

I don't even know why I put that last part of the sentence in because it's completely unrelated because she's so good at picking stocks.

She was able to predict this legislation that affected this industry in a major way.

I mean, if you were an investor, that would be an incredible skill.

Now, here is Nancy Pelosi, because you say to yourself, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Why did Nancy Pelosi go against the Pentagon, go against the president?

What is the driving force

behind Nancy Pelosi's just great desire to go to Taiwan?

Well, she said, here it is.

Listen.

When I was a little girl,

I was told at the beach if I dug a hole deep enough, we would reach China.

So we've always felt a

connection there.

What?

You don't.

What the?

What is

what is your connection to Taiwan?

Why do you find it so?

Why do you have such this deep connection that you had to go to Taiwan?

Because she was at the beach.

She was at the beach as a little girl, and she was told if I could dig my way all the way, if I dig long enough, I will go to China.

And I've always had that connection.

Now, if you question that,

you're such a cynic, such a cynic.

It has,

what are you going to say?

It had something to do with the stock trading of the companies that make computer chips, you know, because Taiwan is the largest source for computer chips.

Nancy, sure, she was working on the semiconductor bill when they bought all of that, and it has nothing to do with the largest semiconductor manufacturer, TSMC, being in Taiwan.

I mean, she went there to show support, American support for the country and the people of Taiwan.

She didn't take her time out to meet with TSMMC officials.

She wouldn't be anywhere near Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturers, right?

Oh, oh, gosh.

Oh, just up on the screen.

It just came up.

Wow, what a horrible.

That's bad timing.

Washington Post, Pelosi to meet with Taiwan's biggest semiconductor manufacturer, TSMC.

Well, I mean, stop being such a cynic.

Okay?

So she had a sit-down, you know, one-on-one, mano-wa-mano, you know,

maybe with her son, I don't know.

You know, they met with a TSMC boss, but she doesn't own any

TSMC stock.

She doesn't.

So she's not, well, okay.

She does have, quote, a significant stake in the asset management firm, which is

Alliance Bernstein.

Alliance owns 1.46 million shares of TSMC, but she's only making money if Alliance makes money, not if

TSMC makes money.

I mean,

she doesn't care if they make money or don't make money.

She's only got 1.46 million shares in the company that is the asset management firm.

So, I mean,

you know, it's like, I don't have any Tesla stock.

I only make money when Elon Musk makes money.

What?

Why would I?

I don't have a single share in Tesla.

Okay.

What's wrong with you?

This is what is happening in our government.

And Mitch McConnell

is not free of connections in China.

These are the people that are in charge.

This is why they don't retire.

This is why they don't go away.

This is why their families, their sons, go on trips with them.

No, he was just being there as an escort for mommy.

That's it.

We cuddled, we colored on the plane, you know, and I'm sorry, we didn't colored.

We, we,

we,

we,

is that word okay to say I think they read Sky Mall magazine quite a bit.

There's a lot of orders from Sky Mall.

They got those pillows that cover your whole face.

Wait a minute.

The pillow that covers your face?

Oh, is that the one that he was holding down over mom's face for?

No, that's a different pillow.

Okay, so anyway,

he went and he met with people.

He went separately on his own business deals.

What is his business?

Who is he meeting with?

That's exactly like Hunter without the cocaine, the crack, or the hookers.

And I can't say that he didn't have cocaine, crack, or hookers.

I just know that he met with business people.

This is what they do.

And no one is even willing.

That'll be the last question.

That'll be the last question to Nancy Pelosi on this.

Oh, she said no.

Uh-uh, he wasn't doing anything.

Okay.

All right.

Essie Cup said yesterday on CNN

that this is ridiculous.

Do we have that cut by any chance?

This is just ridiculous.

I mean, there's no way, there's no way that

the people actually even care about this

raid.

They don't think that this is a bad thing.

No, Essie,

in your little group of friends now in Manhattan, at the CNN headquarters, you may not think it's a bad thing.

But I guarantee you, if exactly the same conditions were reversed and Donald Trump had done that to Hillary Clinton, if he would have followed through with his locker up.

Where there was evidence there and clear laws broken,

you would have gone out of your mind and all of your friends would have gone out of your mind.

This is not about, hey, Donald Trump is the Prince of Peace.

No.

If he did something illegal,

then you bust him.

You certainly don't bust him over a bunch of papers that he's already talking to the National Archives over.

You don't do that.

Barack Obama walked out with 31

million pieces of paper.

And he put them in a furniture, an old furniture warehouse in Chicago.

That doesn't seem too safe now, does it?

31 million pages.

You didn't see him arrested, did you?

Or you didn't see him under scrutiny where they break down the doors without a subpoena.

This is going to backfire on them, but it is also going to backfire on the Republicans.

Mitch McConnell right now is like,

all we have to say is that we're not the Democrats.

Look how bad the Democrats are.

And people will elect us.

Welcome to Orrin Hatch 2.0.

Orin Hatch said to Stu and I, do you remember this meeting?

We had a meeting with Orrin Hatch 2008, 2009,

and Jason Chaffetz was just starting to gain steam.

And he's like, oh, Jason Chaffetz, nobody really knows who he is.

No, he,

Oren,

the world is changing now.

And he said, well, all I have to do is just

bring up a flag-burning amendment.

Oh, that riles up the base.

And Stu and I looked at him and went,

are you serious?

Oh, I've done it a million times.

Riles up the base, gets them to the polls.

Okay, all right.

Orin Hatch didn't get it.

We're not living in 2010.

The Republicans have one

chance,

one

last

chance.

I'm going to give you what I think are the three possible scenarios that are right around the corner.

And you tell me if they're not all plausible.

I don't know which one is more likely,

but

it's going to be one of these three or four things that happen in the next few months.

I'll give that to you coming up.

Also, the lies, the fraud of the Biden-Harris administration on trying to hide the economic truth from you.

Peace of mind can be really hard to come by these days, especially financial peace of mind.

I don't know if you've heard, but there's a recession on.

But good news, Stu,

the media made sure to point out that there is no inflation.

There was no inflation.

Isn't that wonderful?

I mean, it's totally not true at all.

And, you know, just the last couple of years, you're paying on average 14% plus more for the typical thing you would buy.

But don't worry about that.

It's zero inflation, according to the White House.

Which is, it's not true.

It is an out-and-out lie.

But I'm going to show you some really disturbing numbers soon on the job numbers.

There is something that has been sticking out and experts have not been, they've not understood it at first.

Then when they did start to understand it, they buried it.

I'm going to give that to you coming up in a minute.

You got to get your financial house in order.

If you haven't already, please give American Financing a call today.

I told you on Monday, this is so weird.

I told you on Monday that late last week, I started feeling a change in the seasons.

And what I mean by that is I got some spiritual advice and I said, how will I know when this is coming?

And they said, watch the trees.

You'll feel the seasons change.

I felt the seasons change about eight, nine months ago.

And that's when things, right, right after that thing started to get really, really bad.

I felt it again last week, and I talked about it on Monday.

And what happened Monday afternoon or Monday night?

It was the raid.

We are coming close to

the end of the story or the beginning of our next great chapter.

We have to be careful and we have to be prepared.

This is the Glenn Back Program.

JK Canvas gave the Glenn Beck podcast five stars and said it's the greatest show on earth.

This is the very best podcast out there.

Glenn and his boy, spelled with an I, Stu, are amazingly funny and give great examples of how the world is going to end.

I don't feel comfortable with the D-O-I spelling there.

I don't know what that's saying about me.

It doesn't feel good.

The only drag, which is weird that they're talking about you, and the word drag is used.

The only drag is Stu when he's being a negative Nancy or a creepy Karen.

I didn't know I was either one of those people.

I didn't know that either, but I will say, if you have time this weekend, join me for

my story hour.

I'm going to be doing that at a local library near you.

It's going to be great.

Meanwhile, while he's doing that, I have the Glenn Beck podcast that comes out for the public on Friday.

It is out today

on Blaze TV, and it is with Ron DeSantis.

Chi, do we have anything to talk about?

Is there anything to talk about with Ron DeSantis?

You know, is it too hot in Florida to visit this time?

You know, this time of year, is this a little bit too much?

Which is your favorite ride at Disney?

Oh, I bet he's got an answer to that.

Strangely, I think he does.

Tonight on the podcast, you can get it if you're a Blaze TV subscriber right away.

Otherwise, it comes out saturday wherever you get your podcasts oh it's so exciting so exciting all the great things that are happening right now you know you know what i mean it's fantastic

really is it's an interesting time i will say an interesting time i you know you you mentioned this before with uh when you're talking about taking this type of action right what it does And it crosses a line that's impossible to reverse.

Think back to Harry Reid, for example.

Harry Reid says, you know what, I've been avoiding getting rid of this filibuster all these years, but I'm thankful for Democrats who convinced me to finally do it for Supreme Court nominees.

They did that.

And how did that turn out for them?

Has anyone remembered, has anyone thought about that lately when you see, for example, Roe versus Wade being overturned?

Right.

Many of the people on the Supreme Court would not have been on the Supreme Court with the rule that they changed.

They used their power, right?

To the extent of it, it was legal.

They had the right to do that.

And what happened to them on the other side?

It was not something that they wanted, though I find it to be very, very positive.

The same type of thing might enter their mindset here.

When you start raiding former presidents'

homes, how do you think this is going to play out next time a Republican is in office?

And how are you going to criticize them?

You'll have no credibility whatsoever.

You'll all be on record saying it's totally fine.

Well, nobody has any credibility.

Certainly not.

When Betto O'Rourke, who is getting money from George Soros and

has the mayor of New York saying, I'm sending workers down there to campaign for him, and they think that New Yorkers will go over well

in New York,

in Texas, going door to door, going,

hey.

I'm from New York and,

well, let me tell you, Southerners, I really think you should elect Betto.

When Betto still has any numbers after that,

you know the world has gone completely insane.

Completely insane.

But we're going to try to make sense of it a little bit more and give you an update on something we talked about yesterday, a positive update, and the ways I think this is going to turn out next.

The Glenn Back Program.

America needs companies like American Financing.

You're smart.

You know,

and I know what is coming our way.

And we really need to make sure that we are spending money frugally and in the correct way.

American Financing understands this.

They want you to call them today.

When you have 10 minutes, would you just call them today and make a

just make a call to them and just get a mortgage review?

It'll take you 10 minutes to do this.

There aren't any tricks, aren't any obligations.

Nobody is going to try to convince you to do something that isn't in your best interest.

You make the decisions and they don't get commissions on sales.

So the salespeople are not motivated to

box you into something because they're not getting kickbacks from the banks for these different loan instruments.

You're not being manipulated.

You're being helped.

I know.

It used to be the way America runs.

Well,

this is a business that started out with a family and still has the family's small values, even though they can cover you coast to coast.

It's American Financing.

Work with them now at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

Or go to AmericanFinancing.net.

That's AmericanFinancing.net.

The show is coming up on the national radio program next.

Got no room to compromise.

We gotta stand together, it's gonna survive.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day I've

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

This is the Glen Beck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Believe it or not, I know it doesn't feel like it, but we've all keep our head on our shoulders.

We are actually winning.

There are huge, huge building blocks being moved and put into place that is blocking this

whole revolution that the left is trying to pull off.

America is waking up.

There was a big building block that was moved into place yesterday.

I'm going to get an update on that coming up in just a second.

But there are many things that are going on.

We just have to be aware of the pitfalls and the traps in front of us.

I'm going to show you the three ways I believe this

FBI raid on Mar-lago, and that's exactly what it is when you come in with two dozen FBI agents and

a U-Haul truck, and you come through the door.

This was a raid, and it's going to have repercussions.

I'm going to show you the three ways that I think it works out, and you decide which one is most plausible.

We'll give that to you in 60 seconds.

So

everybody, I mean, did you see the story in the Washington Post?

The Washington Post is now saying that because of this FBI raid,

the right has just gone insane.

They're calling for violence.

Would you shut the hell up?

Shut the hell up.

You never, ever point out the calls of violence and the actual violence on the streets of America from the left and Tifa and BLM, the people burning our cities down.

Shut the hell up.

Are you trying to make things better or worse?

Don't answer that, Washington Post.

I know your answer.

Things are on an edge.

And if you don't think that there is a, at some point, a disruption in food supplies, a disruption in any kind of supply, our trucking, our trains.

If you don't think that tough times are coming, you're not thinking straight.

I want you to call My Patriot Supply today.

I've talked about this for a long time.

I think you're running out of time to really be prepared.

Go to preparewithglenn.com.

Just grab a four-week emergency food kit for MyPatriot Supply.

This is not...

This is not insanity.

This is what our grandparents who lived through the depression called canning.

Now, if you want to can,

great.

The season's almost up.

Hurry.

If you don't even know how to can, this is modern day canning.

Let me get an update before we move on from Vivek Ramashwami.

He is the guy who is the author of Nation of Victims and the co-founder and executive chairman of Strive Asset Management.

This guy really understands the great reset.

And Vivek, you got to call

Megan Kelly.

I was on with Megan Kelly, and she just thinks

the theory of the great reset.

She's like, it's not going to happen.

And these guys don't have that much power.

And I'm like, Megan, please read my book.

Please read my book.

Or talk to Vivek, please.

What do you say to people

at this time when people just don't it?

I will do what I can as well.

Glenn, you've been doing great work in opening people's eyes.

I mean, look,

there's a major government assault on liberty and a threat to liberty that you were just talking about, which I agree wholeheartedly with.

But part of that threat is also now coming to us via the private sector.

That is what this great reset is about, is dissolving the boundaries between government and the private sector to advance a single monolithic agenda.

I am focused on one prong of that in the private sector, solving it through the market.

And it has to be a multi-pronged ultimate attack

on this single force of the great reset.

Now, the way I'm doing it, as you know well, is providing an alternative to that provided by BlackRock or State Street or Vanguard, who are these large financial institutions that are using the capital of everyday citizens, probably most of the listeners of this program, to advance one-sided progressive agendas that most of us disagree with.

And so I think solving that through the market is a big way to move a piece forward on the chessboard.

But I agree with you.

This is a broader movement we need to build across both government and the private sector.

So last night you rang the closing

bell for the stock market and you put out your index fund.

for the energy sector.

I haven't put my money into it yet, but I am coming to the table.

Stu bought in yesterday.

I just haven't had time.

I so believe in this, Vivek.

I really think this is a major, major piece.

And while no one should take investing advice from me, because I'm the worst,

please look into this.

It's on the stock market now, and

it's DRIL.

D-R, is it I-L or just D-R-L-L?

D-R-L-L.

D-R-L.

D-R-L-L.

Drill.

Listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

It was a great experience, Glenn.

I gave a speech to a number of attendees who came.

They told me to ring the bell.

You said, you know what?

I actually gave it to someone.

I let the guy ring the bell next to me who was a fire department worker, an FBNY worker, military veteran, et cetera, to say that, you know what, you ring the bell.

We're doing this on behalf of the everyday citizen.

But what we're doing is bringing a voice to America's energy companies' boardrooms to say that, you know what?

You should drill more.

You should frack more.

You should do whatever allows you to be most successful as an energy company in America without regard to some globally imposed environmental or social agenda on your cause.

And that's what BlackRock and States and Vanguard, BlackRock in particular, has been doing.

We are delivering as a shareholder, using the power of capital, a shareholder mandate to the sector to say, as the shareholders, we the people are demanding that you actually behave according to our best financial interests.

And guess what?

Solve America's energy independence problem in the process.

So

here's the amazing thing.

So sorry to interrupt.

Here's the amazing thing.

You know, Exxon used to be nailed because they were the richest company in the world.

They're not.

They're like, I don't know, nine or tenth or twelfth, something like that now.

And that's

go ahead.

Top 10.

So

outside the top 10.

All right.

Why did that happen?

Because they're going this direction.

At the same time, you know this to be true, just because BlackRock is saying, look,

you know, in order to have this new world order and everything else, investors are just going to have to take it on the chin for maybe 10 years.

You're not going to see real growth for 10 years.

No, I don't accept that.

I don't accept that.

And you should be finding companies that are looking to grow.

Well, here's the best part.

Vivek, you have told me, I hope I'm not breaking confidence here, that you have spoken to many of the people that are in these companies and run these companies, and they are begging for something like what you're doing.

Yes.

Yes.

And you know what, Glenn, I think it's important we talk about that openly.

I was at one of the nation's largest energy conferences in Denver earlier this week.

I spoke to a room full of oil and gas executives and CEOs.

There was a standing ovation at the end of the presentation because normally they're forced to recite the ESD slogans by their other shareholders.

They don't even believe it as the CEOs.

So actually there was a reporter in the room who was puzzled.

She put out some sort of tweet on commentary saying, wait a minute, why are these oil and gas CEOs who told me that they believe in ESG giving a standing ovation after Vivek Ramasamy's presentation?

The answer is they didn't mean it when they said it.

They were forced to say it by BlackRock.

It's like reciting a catechism to a new religion of ESG.

But the good news is, Glenn, most of the people who have investment power in this country, most of the everyday citizens, most of the listeners of this program, can actually use their money to deliver that different voice to America's largest energy companies.

That is why we created BRLL.

I was at the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, and the good news I wanted to share with you, Glenn, is the folks at the New York Stock Exchange told me they haven't seen a passively managed ETF launch like this, a launch of this kind of an exchange-traded fund in years.

It was one of the largest, if not largest, of its kind in years.

What we need to do is keep that momentum going.

And my goal, this is aspirational.

I'm not promising we're going to get there.

But my goal would be to exceed the size of BlackRock's U.S.

Energy Index Fund by delivering this different mandate.

Do you think you can do that?

Well, I certainly hope so, Glenn.

I mean, look, let's just do the job.

I mean, that's it's between two and two and a half billion dollars right now is where BlackRock's U.S.

Energy Index Fund's amount that it has under management there.

I mean, look, if there's a million people in the sector, two million people, each of whom invest a thousand or two thousand dollars in the U.S.

energy sector through DRLO,

that math would get you there.

That's an aspirational goal.

But if we get there, glenn

i think that that would change the tide of conversation in america's energy company boardroom oh it would to

shock waves oh right

i don't i don't even think you have to i don't even think you have to get there you just have to be moving so quickly and gathering steam before the

it shakes the world

And I'd like to get there, Glenn, but you're totally right about that.

Put the energy sector in the boardrooms in a way to say that, you know what, you guys did the ESG thing for the last 10 years, but this is where the puck is going.

As you can see the flow of capital to this new shareholder mandate, this is where the puck is going.

And these guys working in the U.S.

energy industry, they're not the employees of Twitter, okay?

Twitter employees don't want to listen to Elon Musk.

The energy company executives and employees, they are willing to listen to this voice that we're bringing to the table.

Not just me, it's the people of this country bringing to the table.

That's what I'm excited about.

Okay.

Thank you very much, Vivek.

I really appreciate it.

This is not taking your money and putting it into something risky.

If your money is in BlackRock in energy, this is the same index, exact, same company to company.

All you would be doing if you're in Vanguard or BlackRock or what's the third one?

Street.

Yeah, street.

Yeah,

it's basically the same thing.

Just transfer that or put $1,000 if you have it.

Put

$10 in it if you have it.

But just become a part of this movement.

This is the way to stop it.

Money doesn't talk.

It screams.

Go to strive.com.

Vivek, thank you.

Just keep me up to speed, will you?

Keep you up to speed.

All right, thank you.

Back in just a minute.

got to tell you the three things that I think are going to happen coming this fall based on what just happened at

Mar-Lago.

First,

may I talk to you a little bit about Life Lock?

Life Lock.

There are people out there whose sole mission in life is to separate you from your money.

All right.

Last night,

I was trying to wargame what might

happen.

And I want you to know, I will tell you when, in these days, I will tell you when I feel this is something that I'm prompted to tell you and then something that I'm doing with my head.

Because every time I'm wrong, it has been me.

Every time I have ever been right, it has because I felt prompted.

So this is something with my head, so take it for what it's worth.

But as I look at this, there are

really

three ways that this is going to happen with Donald Trump.

One,

Trump, I think, should come out right now, before the election, and declare his candidacy and then

talk about what he's going to do.

He's going to shut down the Department of Ed.

He is going to restore all of those military men and women that

were canceled because and lost their job because of the vaccine, issue an apology and put them back in with pay.

That'll be one of his agenda items, that he is going to clean house.

at the

NIH.

He's going to clean house at the DOJ, FBI.

He's going to restore law and order, and he'll do it constitutionally.

But I won't be able to do it without my team around me, and I can't do it with the Mitch McConnells of the world.

I need fighters in there with me.

And then he goes campaigning right now for the Congress and the Senate, and he dumps all of everything he's got into that.

But he's already on the campaign trail.

The second thing that could happen

is,

now by the way, he doesn't have to do it on the, that's my recommendation, but he could just announce because he's now got a movement.

He's a symbol of something now.

He's not just a candidate.

He's a symbol.

And this is not a campaign.

It's a movement.

The second thing that could happen from this.

Somehow or another, the Democrats find some way to charge him and stop him from running for president.

Now, that happens.

He legally cannot become president.

There's two ways Donald Trump could react.

One, he goes quiet and helps behind the scenes, but campaigns throws his weight behind somebody like Ron DeSantis.

Okay, he could do that.

Or he does not go quiet.

He not only directs his aim towards the corrupt state and the Democrats, but also against those in the GOP that did not stand against the corruption, and he goes a third way.

You'll have to decide which one he's most likely to do.

But none of them work out well for the Democrats.

None of them work out well for the Democrats.

And one of them creates chaos.

Now, this is what I think happens.

This is all good news for Donald Trump, I think.

And I think it's good for the country if he has the people around him that will actually act.

They have the power of the purse.

He just needs Congress to have control and enough of them and the leadership understanding and being on the same page with him.

You're not hiring those 87,000 IRS agents because we have the power of the purse as Congress, not the Congress and Senate, just Congress.

And we're shutting your funds off.

We're shutting your funds off at the Department of Education.

We're shutting your funds strategically off

at the ATF and at the DOJ.

We're not reimagining the police.

We're demanding that it goes back to constitutional principles, period.

That's what he could do.

But after the November election, there are also two ways this happens.

Is there anybody that believes that the

Republicans don't hold Congress?

Is there anybody that actually believes that

every single Republican out there knows exactly what time it is and will be at those polls voting?

Does there anybody believe that the

middle of this country, the Republicans now outnumber the Democrats, independents, the Democrats are not excited about this election.

There's only, what, maybe 15, 20% that are actually radicals.

Do you really think that the Republicans are going to lose?

Not the Senate.

They may lose that or may not hold that or

gain it, but I can't see them not gaining the Congress.

If there's anything hinky with it, you're going to have people on the right saying, I don't believe it.

And probably for good reason.

Maybe not.

Don't know.

I hope that doesn't happen.

I hope it's clear one way or the other.

But I will tell you this.

If the Democrats lose Congress and the Senate,

the gloves will come off with Antifa.

You will start seeing the riots in the streets.

You will start seeing, you have to brace yourself for not only that, but you also have to screw your courage to the sticking place

and actually be ready to say, yeah, we'll shut the whole damn government down until you clean it up.

Yeah.

Having no government for even two months, having you guys not being able to do anything except the basics is better than having a government that is subverting the Constitution and the laws of this nation.

The Republicans have better

got their crap together and they better be ready to move quickly, not just in hearings, which have to happen, but in different ways, power of the purse, to actually make progress.

They can pass all they want in both the House and the Senate,

but the president will veto it.

Fine.

They probably won't have enough votes to override his veto.

Fine.

But there are things you can do that make a difference.

And Mitch McConnell's approach of, well, we're just going to say we're better.

That's not going to fly.

Saying that you're going to have hearings.

We've had hearings.

We know you have to have hearings, but that better damn well not be.

The last thing, I'd like to see anybody who lied to Congress and you can prove it in a hearing.

I'd like to see them go to jail.

The Glenn Bach program.

Because I know that.

I know for sure if I lied to Congress, I'd be in jail.

It's easy to ignore some things in life when you shouldn't.

Checking the car engine light.

When that comes on, do you ignore it?

Especially if the car's out of warranty.

Just find one of those little smiley face stickers and slap it on there.

Maybe you could put a little Biden, I did this, right in front of it.

It'll make it fun.

Won't be easy to fix, however.

On the other hand, if you don't want to end up sitting at the mechanic shop, you know, openly weeping in front of strangers when you find out how much your car repair is going to cost you, get protected.

Thankfully, Car Shield offers protection plans for about $100 a month.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Coming up in about half an hour, we have David Nagel.

He is the owner of black metal firearms.

He is a gun shop owner who is calling for an investigation into ATF after privacy violations from the agencies.

It's a pretty amazing story.

This is yet another example of our government completely out of control, doing things they know is illegal, but they're above it.

They don't care.

They know there won't be any consequence.

And that's what I think this FBI raid has really done for Donald Trump.

He has made him a symbol of

breaking this deep state that just doesn't care.

And they don't care who the president is.

I mean, I don't know if you saw the story that came out today about General Milley and what he was doing at the Pentagon and how He was working, actively working to thwart the president.

He wrote a resignation letter at one point because he thought Donald Trump was so dangerous.

And he wrote it, but he didn't deliver it, deciding instead to, in his description, work against Trump and stop him from doing all these terrible things.

Which is unconstitutional.

That is, I mean, that's close.

The next step is a coup.

You don't do that.

You come out, you resign, you tell the American people what's going on, and you don't wait for the book.

You come out and you tell, and you let the people decide.

You don't take it upon yourself to do that.

And that's exactly what has happened.

By the way, we also know that the FBI had yet another informant inside the Trump Mar-Lago organization.

Can you imagine?

I mean, Stu, you know

my sweet wife, Tanya,

has,

did you ever know a more open, giving, kind person than Tanya?

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I've always questioned why she married you.

Yeah, thank you.

And it's why I married her.

She was so kind and so open and just she just

she was the definition of love

and never asking for anything back.

And she's not that woman anymore because we have you've ruined her.

You finally, after all these years, have ruined her.

That's that is that was part of what I it's actually how I feel.

So thank you for that.

I don't know that that's true, true, but it's nice that you'd feel terrible about something.

I feel that way because

we've been stabbed in the back by so many people.

So many friends have stabbed us in the back.

So many things have happened to us because of my job.

And

I can't imagine being Donald Melania Trump.

Yet another person

was working for the FBI

that was around you all the time.

I mean, how many times can these people be betrayed?

I mean,

his background, I think, shields him a little bit more than the average person, given that he's coming from the New York real estate world, and he's dealt with a lot of shady characters over the years that he's excommunicated from his orbit over the over the time.

You know, you're working in that business, you're going to run into a lot of unsavory characters.

This is different.

These are people who are, these are people, and this happens to everybody, but not to this degree.

Not to this degree.

He's been stabbed in the back by every single person.

And most of them, yeah.

I mean, not family members.

Not family members.

Although Mary Trump would be a family member on the fringes, but yes.

I mean, generally speaking, his close family has stayed with him.

Right.

There's been a few people who

have been in that tight orbit the entire time.

And look, there are differences in scope and scale here.

You know, people disagreeing with him is not stabbing him in the back.

No.

But there are.

But I would imagine you feel that way.

You probably, that does hit you at times.

But I think there's more than that.

There's people who

go through the entire administration working with him closely, acting like they love, agree, support, and loyal to him.

And then the second they can get out and cash in, they're writing books.

And that's got to be really.

What's crazy is he's the kind of guy who likes controversy.

He likes the other opinion.

You know what I I mean?

He wants you to present the other opinion.

He just wants you to know that when he decides, that's it.

That's it.

And I know because I've had an argument with him over trade.

And when you're with him and he says, okay, so what are you thinking?

And you argue back and forth with him and you walk away respecting that.

That's the job.

You can disagree.

But you don't work against it.

Once the decision is made, the decision is made.

And it's not your job to change it or to thwart it.

And that's not a Donald Trump thing.

That's a structure of the U.S.

government.

It's a structure of

every relationship you have when you have something, when the boss is, he's got it.

When your wife, when your husband, you discuss it, you argue back and forth, you make the decision and you live with it.

The other spouse that may disagree, you got to say it then.

And if you say, okay, we agree, then you don't go sabotaging it.

Yeah.

Okay.

That's fair.

But, you know, what do I know?

When you look at the

three things that I just said,

you know, would come out of this, what are your thoughts about...

Can you recap them real quick for a meeting?

Yeah, yeah.

Let me look here.

So if I would to recap, I just want to make sure I get them right.

The first one was Trump comes out and announces either I think he should do it now and then start campaigning for the people.

I mean, really hard, campaigning on a, we're going to throw these bums out constitutionally, but I need the supporters in Congress and in the Senate.

So he announces either before or after the election, and he becomes a movement to clean house.

The second thing is that the Dems charge him, find some way to stop him from running for president, and then his choice is go quiet and help behind the scenes or, you know, go give speeches, but throw your weight behind somebody like Ron DeSantis.

Or

he doesn't go away quietly.

He says this is bull crap.

And he takes and directs his aim not only at the Democrats, but all of the dirty institutions and those in the GOP that didn't stand against the corruption.

And he goes a third way.

And the third way, can you define that one a little bit more?

Like, you think that's a third party?

Could be a third party.

Yeah, independent third party.

Maybe.

He's like, no, not going there, not doing it.

You know, I think one and two work really well together because if he is to be an existing candidate for the president of the United States, all of these things are much more difficult for them to go through with when it comes to charging them and accusing him and raiding homes.

And all of these things are seen under a different light if he's an active presidential candidate.

And I think that's why

I think this event,

whatever little piece of Donald Trump that was thinking maybe I shouldn't run if there was one left,

It's gone because of this.

So he's going to, I, you know, I think this all but guarantees his run.

And I think the argument against him announcing early when everyone kind of knows he's going to run anyway is

number one, Donald Trump becomes the main topic of discussion again.

And there are enough people who just don't like Donald Trump.

You can say you don't agree with them, but like, these aren't people who are following every twist and turn of the news a lot of times.

They're people that are watching reality shows and just aren't in there, and they don't like him for whatever reason.

You can say it's stupid, but the bottom line is going into a midterm election, do you want to make the election about Donald Trump?

And I think a lot of his advisors, a lot of certainly people in the Republican Party, are saying, Please don't do that.

Announce the day after the election.

I mean, look, you're not going to stop Donald Trump from running.

You're just not.

No.

This guaranteed it.

You're not going to stop him from running.

But the timing I'm talking about.

Of course, people don't typically announce before the midterms.

Now, one of the reasons why, and this has been in widespread reporting from people close to Trump at least, that he has not announced yet, even though he's

toyed with the idea, is because there is a perception that it would make him look weak.

And the reason for that is

it would be seen as a move to

move against DeSantis before he can announce and to clear the field, right?

So he feels threatened by other candidates.

So he's announcing beforehand to get ahead of DeSantis.

No, I'm just saying that this is the

this is why they're advising him not to because it will it will be seen that way.

You're you know DeSantis really can't announce because he hasn't won the governor race yet.

He's doing that right now.

So if you do this, it's going to look like you're scared of DeSantis.

Don't do it.

That's what they're pleading with him behind the scenes.

This event totally changes that calculus, though.

It changes everything.

Right.

Like with this going on, he has a total justification to announce.

It would shield him, I think, from

people being as active against him because when you're saying, it's one thing to say you're raiding the house of a former president of the United States.

It's another thing to say you're literally raiding the home of your current opponent.

I mean, that is a, it's a whole nother piece of this.

But I think the perception on at least the right of that is already there.

The right is there.

But the right is the right.

I know, I know.

You know, there's a poll out today that shows in the midterms, I think it's something like 59% of Democrats say this is going to motivate them to vote even more in the midterm election.

But that number with Republicans is 83%.

83%.

This is causing a...

Because you have people who have always believed that Donald Trump was persecuted and all this stuff was going on.

But you also have another group of people who are saying, you know, they're kind of in the middle and they say, well, look, I see that they're always coming after Trump, but also Trump does some stuff that I don't like, or maybe he causes some of his own problems.

Those people even there are saying, okay, this is crazy.

This is insane.

They're obsessed with this guy.

They're going to his house.

They're going through his wife's closet.

Her underwear drawer.

So bad.

It's so bad that I think it's really galvanizing the right.

It's going to help Trump tremendously in the primary and it helps shield him from whatever consequences might come from.

And

I will tell you that

I am

the ones that I wonder how they're not waking up are not the people on the left.

It's the Democrats.

I'm sorry, the Republicans.

It's the Mitch McConnell's.

Those people.

How do I read that?

How do you read Mitch?

Because I mean, we can come up with this sort of like Mitch McConnell's evil thing, which, you know, I mean.

No, Mitch McConnell is the reason he's the one that

held Merrick Garland right.

So that's a good thing.

Yeah, Merrick Garland does not like Mitch McConnell.

Yeah, no.

But Mitch McConnell is sitting here, and Mitch McConnell is not making real comment about this at all.

His Mitch McConnell doesn't want to get involved because he doesn't want Donald Trump.

He doesn't want Donald Trump.

He doesn't want Donald Trump supporters in,

you know, he wants to play ball the way he used to play ball in 1973.

And the world has changed, Mitch.

And if the Republicans don't stand up, and see, here's the reason why they don't stand up to him.

He controls a huge Senate pack.

Okay?

So he's got all of this money, $350 million, I think, in this pack is what he's trying to have

before the midterms.

And he's the one that doles it out.

So no one in the Senate can actually say anything about him because he has and will use that pack against you.

He'll work for your opponent

if you stand against him.

That's got to stop.

That's got to stop.

And so

McConnell isn't saying anything because he doesn't want the midterms to be about Trump.

No, he doesn't.

No, no, no.

He doesn't want to be in office.

Correct.

He wants nothing to do with Trump.

He'd be happy if Trump just disappeared or was vaporized.

And then on the other side, you're saying people aren't criticizing McConnell because of this super PAC money.

No one can mount a campaign against him in the Senate because he will crush you and you won't be in the Senate anymore.

So he's got blackmail money, really, and he'll just crush anybody who stands against him.

That has to stop.

It just seems, though, it's an easy thing.

It's an easy thing to say.

Like, I can understand you're not going to sound like Donald Trump Jr.

if you're Mitch McConnell, right?

Like there's going to be a different approach, but the approach is the one DeSantis seems to have taken, which is like, this is way over the line.

And I think, you know,

you also fall back to this point of like, you can even say if you're Mitch McConnell, look, they better have the goods here.

If they've got something incredible against Donald Trump, well, he hasn't, has he?

He hasn't even said that.

Nope.

He said nothing.

Right.

It would be easy to say that.

He likes the game the way it's being played.

And Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell.

Now, McCarthy has spoken out against this team.

He has, but I'm not sure that he's got the spine to really lead, you know, the grand reforms that have to happen.

You have to have nerves of steel.

Mitch McConnell thinks that even though they won the House and the Senate last time, it was in spite of the shutdown.

Okay,

we won in spite of that.

No, you might have won both the House and the Senate with Donald Trump because they thought you guys would do something.

They thought you were starting to get some courage and you would do it.

And they didn't.

And that's because of Mitch McConnell.

All right, back in just a second.

No matter what it is you're trying to do, if you need help, you want that help to come from experts.

I had no idea until I just saw my next piece of copy, a new sponsor on the program.

It is Strive Asset Management.

If you haven't heard about them before, believe me, you're going to.

If you've been listening to this program, this is Vivek Ramashwami's company, which just launched its energy index firm to go up against groups like BlackRock and State Street and Vanguard

and

ESGs.

This is an exchange-traded fund.

If you didn't know, it's called DRIL, D-R-L-L, dedicated to investors who are striving for America's energy independence and real profits.

Voting in November will help, but we need to put our money where our mouth is.

This will work.

This will liberate U.S.

We gotta stand together, it's the corner survived.

Stand up straight and hold the line.

It's a new day, I'm turned to rise.

Hello, America.

Here's why,

here's why the stuff that's going on in America right now, including the Patriot Act, Patriot Act, the way it's being used,

the

IRS and the way it's about to be used, and the ATF is so concerning.

Listen to this.

This is from a GoFundMe page for black metal firearms.

The reason we posted this video, which I'll show you in a minute, was because we have been intimidated and bullied by this ATF IOI and threatened with revocation of our license and our livelihood.

But most of all, she and her training IOI created a legal, illegal digital copy of over 4,000 entries with the PII of everyone, our customers, including ourselves.

It shows the addresses, social security numbers, phone numbers, exact gun that was purchased along with the date of birth and much more.

We would never allow this out.

It is illegal for them to have it.

We have watched in horror

with

everything and filmed them until they were done.

We reached out to everyone we could to help, including lawyers, Congress, local law enforcement, attorney generals, all with no luck or no help.

They destroyed our business and our reputation.

We are tired of the overreach and we are fighting back.

Please share this with as many people as possible, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

They are coming after

guns in every way possible and they are violating the Constitution.

You think?

They care?

There's no repercussions.

I'm going to talk to Black Metal Firearms and I want you you to know how brave these people are.

I have talked to several people off air.

Several people have UPS.

Several companies have UPS just losing their bullets.

And I'm talking hundreds of thousands of dollars of ammunition put on a UPS truck and then just lost.

And UPS is giving excuses like, well, you didn't package it right.

I have company after company after company, but none of them will say anything because then all of their shipping stops and they go out of business.

We need some brave people and I have one with us in 60 seconds.

Yesterday, it finally rained here in Texas and holy

cow did it rain.

Did it rain like that at your house?

It was, I've never seen anything like it.

But even with all the rain we had, it still was like throwing a bottle of water into a volcano.

Summer is still going strong, and if you're like me, I do everything I can to avoid it.

All right,

we have a guy who I think is very, very brave.

He is the owner of Black Metal Firearms LLC.

His name is David Nagel.

Welcome.

David, how are you?

I'm excited to be on.

You,

I bet before you posted that video,

it probably was very difficult, and you probably had a little prayer or a lot of thought on it on whether or not that was the best thing to do.

Am I right?

Well, to be honest, the video sat in my phone since January.

And for the longest time, it was just kind of a game of keep your head down and hope that they leave you alone.

But as we started hearing more and more news coming down through the industry, it became pretty well apparent that keeping our head down was not going to help us because unfortunately everyone prior to us also kept their head down and ended up losing their licenses anyway.

So at a certain point, honestly, it was because we had an irate customer that was upset about the coming rulings that the ATF is putting out regarding some of the stuff that we sell.

And

he was showing a rather irate level of concern for

the legal troubles that he could face.

And after listening to him blow up at myself and my wife over something that we have no control over, I kind of felt it was necessary to let everyone know, like, this is what we're actually dealing with on our end.

And

it was

kind of a spur of the moment, like, you know what, here's, here's what's really going on.

And we posted the video.

I didn't expect it was going to get nearly as much traction as it did.

I was hoping it would get something.

But

as you've known to this point, yeah, we did reach out to a lot of different entities prior to this, up to and including discussing with the state attorney general.

Who is your state attorney general?

What state are you in?

Arizona.

And your state attorney general didn't help you?

So it was kind of

it was kind of a an indirect meeting where we voiced our concerns through another FFL that was meeting with him.

And the

impression that we got was, sorry, it's a federal thing.

I can't help you.

Now,

to be direct, what was discussed at that point was more about saving our license rather than

the content of the video.

So, the content of the video was something that we had sat on for a while because, honestly, it's really difficult to say, yes, this is not okay when you have a federal agent sitting in front of you.

And we did, in fact, confront her about it when she was taking pictures of our records.

And we asked her, you know, hey, it looks like you're creating a registry.

And she said, no, that would be illegal.

So we did what we thought was the best thing we could do, which was record.

We have quite a bit of recording.

A lot of it we were not able to share because there is personal information visible in it,

you know, contact numbers, things of that sort.

So we didn't want to put people on blast like that.

When you said, because if I'm not mistaken, you said to her, look,

you know a lot of people will have a problem with this because it looks like you're doing a registry and

you're taking all of this information and didn't she say something about your customers

she said quite a few things about our customers but

to get to what you're referring to

we said hey you know our customers think this looks a little little off and she said well it sounds like your customers are just being paranoid maybe i should look into them a little bit more which i thought was really creepy that's a threat um that's a threat

It is.

And

I mean, I have a customer who is of Iranian birth.

He's been living in the United States for decades.

And his name came up because he's purchased firearms from us several times.

You know, she was on his list of interesting people.

And at one point,

when she was discussing with us about our interesting people, she goes, and you have a few gun nuts in here.

And I politely correct her.

So we prefer the term gun enthusiasts.

She goes, no, they're nuts.

And I felt that was kind of a

backhanded way of describing the average American.

You know, because if we're all nuts, then

what are you governing us from?

Right.

And what rights do we have in your mind to be able to have these guns?

If I'm a gun collector, which I am, if I'm a gun collector and I have more guns than somebody in New York City, does that make me nuts to them?

I think so, but I'm a collector of them.

And others who might collect something else or might be really interested in something else, they might have, you know,

a thousand Pez dispensers.

I might think that's nuts, but that's their passion.

And that's what we live with in America, people with different passions.

And we're certainly passionate about what we do.

A lot of our customers are.

I mean, I would say that we have some customers that are rather enthusiastic about supporting us, and we're very happy to see the amount of support that we've gotten.

I mean, it has definitely come with its drawbacks because a lot of people think that it is something that we did wrong, that we are not trustworthy as a business that we allowed this to occur.

But if you were to swap into any of the FFL forums where this has been discussed, it's extremely prevalent to the point where almost every dealer that I've spoken to in the forums thinks that I'm out of line for even suggesting that this is wrong because it happens everywhere.

And I think

newly happens or is this something that's been going on for 20 years?

Well, I've only been in business for about eight and

to

that end, I have never seen anything like this.

We've been audited three prior times to that.

And, you know, audit is different than audit is different.

If I'm not mistaken, the ATF has a right to come in and should audit you.

If there's any discrepancies, you work on those discrepancies, but they don't have a right to your customer list and to see unless it's part of the discrepancy, correct?

That is my understanding, yes.

Okay.

And go ahead.

Well, according according to their handbook, yeah, they're not supposed to make copies of records and something of the sort unless it is particularly pertinent to their investigation, which, you know, that would usually be a particular person or a clerical error in question.

But

I mean,

based on our closeout of our audit, I didn't have 4,000 entry errors to cover all of the pages that she covered.

So I'm curious what exactly her rationale was for copying everything.

because it clearly wasn't part of my audit okay do you have an attorney

I actually have one for our

trying to help us retain our license I have another one that we're starting to work with more for the side of helping our customers because of the breach of privacy

you started a go fund me

it's just go fund me help black metal firearms

and you can do your own homework.

You can follow them and see the Facebook page where they posted this.

This woman clearly is not a fan of firearms or people that carry or want to use firearms.

And you have her on tape taking photos of all of the records, which is illegal.

I'm going to reach out to your

Attorney General.

Who's your attorney general?

I don't know them.

The Attorney General is Mark Bernovich.

And Republican Democrat.

He is a Republican.

Yeah, he's actually just running for Senate.

He didn't make the primary, but

he's

so

I don't know what his rationale was for everything that's gone on to this point.

Now, again,

the scope of what we're trying to do has changed since we indirectly reached out to him.

And I have been told by several other people that are law enforcement in the area, both federal and state, that

his jurisdiction on this matter may actually be revived because

since she was using an iPhone for this particular action, if her data was saved to an iCloud storage of some sort, that counts as digital transmission of personal information that does not belong to her, which is by itself a state felony.

So

it is something that I think we should probably explore.

But

I mean,

kind of honest, I don't really know if I have much hope for the outcome on that.

Well,

we have to start demanding it from our attorney generals.

And you did the right thing

and you keep being loud

and calm and do everything exactly right.

But I personally, I mean, I'm going to have our producers look into this a little more.

Maybe we'll give an update here tomorrow, the next day.

But

there's got to be a class action suit.

I mean, this is against the law.

Yeah, there has to be a class action suit.

Because we have a lot of customers that were involved in this.

We have been handing out

pages that basically have the instructions to file a formal complaint against at the ATF's website, particularly naming this event.

So pretty much every customer we've had for the last few years, I mean, technically going all the way back to the beginning from 2014,

a lot of them are friends of mine from Facebook because they were our garage days.

And a lot of them are people that have been in and out of our store for the last several years.

So we've been trying to let everyone know so that they do get documented as complaining, filing a formal complaint, making sure they get the complaint number.

So that way there is some sort of traceable proof because we don't want documents to go missing.

All right.

Thank you so much.

We're going to check back in with you, David.

David is the owner of Black Metal Firearms.

If you'd like to help them with their fight to keep their license and also for attorney help, you can go to GoFundMe, Help Black Metal Firearms,

Help Black Metal Firearms.

Thank you, David.

We'll be in touch again.

Let us know if there's any update in between, will you?

Thank you, Glenn.

I will.

You bet.

Thank you.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

Tom wrote in about Relief Factor, about his experience.

He said, I'm a 78-year-old guy, pretty healthy.

I've had pain in my knee for a long time.

Doctor told me bone-on-bone pain because of my age.

Well, I started taking Relief Factor, and frankly, the pain in my knee is approved 80 to 85%.

I don't walk with a limp even anymore.

That is significant for me.

Tom, I'm delighted that you got your life back and your knee back.

Relief Factor, as you know, is not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and it's important that it's not a drug, it doesn't make you fuzzy all day.

It has four key ingredients that fight inflammation, which is the source of most of our pain that we deal with.

It could work for you.

Try the three-week quick start, developed for $19.95, a dollar a day, like a trial pack.

Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered it, and about 70% of them go on to order more.

It's relieffactor.com, 1-800-4 Relief, 1-800-4 Relief.

Let me give you some important information on the economy coming up here in just a second.

Also, Ron DeSantis is going to be my guest on episode 150 of the Glenbeck Podcast.

This is a one-on-one, uninterrupted conversation.

And Ron DeSantis is my guest, the governor who broke the media.

Ron DeSantis versus everyone.

I think he has some things you might want to hear.

That is episode 150 on the podcast.

It is available today at Blazetv.com, and it will be available for everybody else, wherever you get your podcasts, on Saturday.

I want to to talk to you about what just happened.

This is why the rule of law matters.

These are, you're breaking the law.

What this woman is doing is breaking the law, and she's using intimidation.

Well, maybe these people are people I should stop by and see.

That's intimidation.

That is also against the law.

They are using their power.

And if you don't think the 87,000 IRS agents are going to be doing exactly the same thing to to your business.

They're not going after the big guys.

They're not.

It's a lot easier for politicians to get, you know, a whole bunch of money in a pack to help them run from a billionaire than it is to go to, you know, everybody in their state to try to get the same amount of money.

They're not going after those people.

They're going to be going after you.

And Jesse Kelly wrote something.

He said the government is hiring 87,000 IRS agents because Western governments view their own people as the enemy now.

They have turned their guns on them.

This is why I believe we'll have a massive worldwide turning at some point in the coming years.

I agree with him.

But he goes on to say, because everybody was like, see, he's got to have something to hide.

Why is he concerned about the IRS?

Oh, my gosh, you just don't get it.

Jesse said, you communists act like I'm supposed to be shocked about the IRS coming after me.

It's what you communists do.

And then he writes this, what Glenn Beck told me, make sure there's a canyon between you and the line.

Everybody on the right better be following that advice.

Jesse came to me, I don't even know when, and he was asking for some advice on, you know, he's going to be doing different things.

And I said,

okay,

just be prepared for this and this and this.

And

it's the advice I give to anybody who comes to me in this role and says, hey, I'm thinking about,

and I will always ask them, are you really ready for what's coming your way?

Because what's coming your way, you can't even imagine.

And when it comes to the IRS, I said, you,

I tell my attorneys, I want a canyon.

between me and the line.

If it's even, if it's, if it's questionable at all, one person in the office goes, well, I don't know.

I think, no.

If everybody in the office says, no, but that's clear, I mean, you know, they're going to argue it.

No,

I want a canyon between me and the line with the IRS.

Because if you don't live your life like that, they're going to come at you with everything.

They're going to come after me.

They're going to come after you.

They're going to come after Jesse.

They're going to come after Stu.

I can't wait for that.

And by the way, I'll testify against him.

They're going to come after us because that's what they're doing.

And they're going to do it in such a way to...

This is the McCarthy era gang, except it's against the whole

half of the country.

And gee, your friends might have a problem with this.

You friends, you know, maybe I should meet your friends.

Who are your friends?

Can you give me some names?

The freedoms we hold dear come at a cost, full stop.

Sometimes for people that cost is the ultimate cost.

Men and women we send out into war and the people that protect us here at home have a lot of things in common.

Things like courage and fortitude, a willingness to do which so many others can't or will not.

Another thing we have in common is that sometimes they either don't come home or they come home so damaged that their lives are altered forever.

And this is where the Tunnel to Towers Foundation steps in.

I love this charity.

They mean what they say and say what they mean.

Tunnel to Towers Foundation comes in and helps make a difference when somebody doesn't come home or they're too severely injured.

They pay mortgages.

They build smart homes for the heroes who need them.

What they do, in short, is in service and they service the desperate needs of the community of those whom we should and do honor the most in society.

They're asking you now if you wouldn't mind donating $11 a month to their fine organization,

number2t.org, Tunnel to Towers, T2T.org.

Make a donation.

You remember the Russian TV state employee that staged an anti-war protest?

They had just gone into Ukraine, and she stood behind the anchor with a sign that said,

this is a war.

People are dying currently.

When they were saying, no, it's just a little thing and nobody's dying.

It's not really a war.

She stood there with that sign.

Well, she was arrested and she was charged with a public activity aimed at discrediting Russia.

Well, she went to court and they were like, no, no, no, no, no, no.

So they recharged her with spreading false information about the Russian army, and uh she's going to jail now for 10 years.

So I think that's good.

And and everybody on the left that is all for the disinformation thing, you know, let's have the government, you know, monitor these and let's get this disinformation thing under control.

That's where it ends.

Okay, that that's that's where you're headed right there.

The government cannot be the arbiter of what is true and what is not.

Because once you cross an all-powerful government with what they want people to believe you go to prison because they control the entire game

wake up America wake up please

thank you for listening because most likely you are on the road somewhere of being awake not woke awake

We've been tracking something now over the past couple of months that strikes really at the heart of the ongoing fraud that the Biden-Harris administration is perpetrating to

hide the facts of what is really happening with our economy, especially ahead of the midterms.

One of the most often underappreciated powers that an administration has is that they control the government's bureaucracy.

And yes, while that means they can choose to do things like stop following the Trump era, remain in Mexico policy, you know, when you have a hit job happening at your

future campaign rival's house,

it also, they also have the things that they can do that you don't know that will have a huge dramatic effect on you.

The power, the power is in their hands to control this bureaucracy, and it gives the executive branch

the ability to control all that you see, all that you read.

You'll notice when the government doesn't talk about something and won't answer, for instance on the warrant, the news on it stops because there's no information to report.

And it stops.

For the last few months, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has posted the red hot jobs report.

That's what you're hearing, red-hot, showing June with a better than expected 375 new jobs added in June and another 500,000 plus in July.

Both massively have beaten the expectations, have been touted by the Biden administration as proof positive that we're not in a recession, even though technically, as we have told you before, we have two quarters in a row of negative gross domestic product.

But their thing is you can't have this kind of job growth.

But remember, the data

that is being touted comes from the bureaucrats that work for the administration.

In this case, the BLS.

So how are they reporting massive job gains and yet the economy is shrinking?

That doesn't make any sense.

And if we have all of these great jobs that are being created, how come I see help-wanted signs everywhere?

I can't get things like steel made.

I can't get it because people aren't going to work.

Why?

Well,

we've been looking into this.

Turns out there's two primary ways that the BLS tracks things like unemployment, new jobs offered to workers or job cuts, layoffs, etc.

The first one is called the Establishment Survey, which is based on payroll data submitted electronically by thousands of companies all across the U.S.

showing actual enrollment for employees on payroll.

The other way the BLS tracks employment is called the household survey.

Now, the household survey is based on a weekly phone and online survey process that heads of households fill out in over 60,000 homes in the U.S.

You're supposed to compare these two to get the full picture.

So for our purposes, the establishment survey tracks how many employees are actually on payroll reported by companies, and the household survey is more ground-level, reported by actual people that are going or not going to work.

In the past few months, there has been something that nobody has explained, nobody could explain.

It's mysterious.

They don't know how this is happening because there's a divergence between these two reports and they should be very, very clear and should be going in the same direction.

On one hand, the establishment survey is the one that's showing robust and strong payroll jobs growth.

Meaning in June and July, it showed nearly 400,000 jobs.

In June, 500,000 new payroll jobs in July.

And with their he that controls the bureaucracy controls the data privilege, the Biden administration, of course, is focused on that data point.

However, the household survey, where they actually speak to normal, regular people, has shown the total number of people actually employed has gone down in both months.

According to the households in the U.S.,

more than 200,000 people have lost their their jobs in June and July.

So how could you say, on one hand, there's

400,000 more people getting a paycheck, and in the household, 200,000 people have lost their jobs?

How's that work?

Well, it turns out the answer is in the number of workers who are taking on more than one job.

See, they can say that the economy is really, really good if you just look at one of the numbers.

But if you put the two numbers together, you realize, realize, wait a minute, people are working two jobs now.

Let's say you have a household of four people.

Two are employed, two are not.

So maybe a husband and a wife are both employed full-time, but the two teenage kids aren't currently employed.

Pretty typical U.S.

household.

Next month, because somebody has to earn some extra money to save for the kids' college funds, the wife takes on the establishment survey from the BLS, which shows that a new job is a new payroll job.

That's the number the Biden administration has been citing about March.

Company payrolls have more employees on them, so they report that's a new job.

However, the household survey still shows there's only two people in the house employed.

The number of Americans who are now working more than one job just hit a post-pandemic high with more than 7.6 million Americans currently working two or more jobs that are at least 15 hours a week.

Also, according to the Household Survey, the number of Americans who are working two full-time jobs, at least 30 hours per job per week, has spiked to an all-time high

with 4.4 million Americans currently having to work two full-time jobs.

When Biden took office, the number of Americans working two full-time jobs was 2.3 million people.

But fast forward through July of this year, and that number has doubled.

Even as recently as February 22,

the number of Americans working two full-time jobs was under 3 million people.

But just since March,

it has gone from just under 3 million people to 4.4 million.

So nearly all of the new payroll jobs gained since March 22, which the Biden administration claims is 1.8 million,

were just 1.4 million Americans taking on a full-time second job just to make ends meet.

Now, is that a robust economy?

Are those jobs that just are good, hard-working, good, paying, excellent pull you out of poverty jobs?

Well, if there's 1.4 million people that are taking them because it will just help them make ends meet, it doesn't sound like it's all that good.

Beyond that, where are the missing Americans?

Where are the people that had these jobs?

Where are the people that are looking for these jobs?

Because they're nowhere to be found.

I'll tell you where they are.

They are are no longer counted because remember, if you control the bureaucracy, you can count what you want in any way that you want.

They don't count people who say, I'm not looking for a job.

Here's the key to the lesson here.

By thinking that they aren't lying to you, but in reality they're committing fraud, because they think you won't dig.

They think you're too lazy to do the homework.

And you won't see that at the household level.

Total members of the household who are employed have been flat year to day, even though they claim nearly 2 million new payroll jobs are on the books.

But when they're being fulfilled by the same people just working a second job just to make ends meet, that is not a sign of health in the economy.

And by only citing half of the data they collect each month and pretending that the household survey doesn't even exist,

the Biden-Harris administration is hiding the truth and hoping that you are too stupid or too lazy to figure it out.

Let me tell you now,

the time is coming.

Boy, this is true.

The time is coming where you won't have people like me able to tell you these things.

The most important thing you can do, the first thing you must do, is know your rights.

Have you asked anyone this week, have you even thought

when I heard

that there was a warrant issued for Mar-a-Lago,

and then I found out that they didn't show the warrant, she had to stay 10 feet away from the warrant, his attorney.

And I thought, is that even legal?

I thought they had to hand it to you.

They don't give you all of the attachments, but they have to show you and you have to be able to read the judge's signature and say, okay, all right, it's a legal document.

Let you in.

They didn't do that.

Is that legal?

Is that close enough or not?

Do you know?

Do you know if they don't come with a warrant, they just tell you they have one and you say, I want to see it.

And they say, well, we don't have it here.

And if you make us come back, it's only going to get worse for you.

Do you know how to handle that?

Do you know what to do?

Because all of these things are going to start happening to you.

All of these things with the IRS, with the ATF.

Does the IRS and ATF, can they come to your house and just say, we want to look into things?

We need to see your guns?

Do you know how to handle that?

You know, we haven't read the Constitution for a long time because we think we didn't need it.

We thought we knew I've got rights.

That's not going to be good enough soon.

Those rights are almost gone.

And you better know them.

You better know them.

Otherwise, you could make things worse for yourself.

You have to know how to act.

And then beyond after that, you better know how to read the news, how to decipher things, and find the truth yourself.

Because believe me, your kids are not being taught that in school.

Any notion we might have had that there was a line in the sand between the Justice Department and you know, decency and the law, you know, some line that they wouldn't cross, is being erased before our eyes right now.

The administration that's working hard to turn us into a banana republic is the same one furthering our crippling inflation.

This inflation buster bill is

a lie, an absolute lie.

It will impoverish you.

And by impoverishing you, maybe they'll slow down inflation.

But I doubt it because they're just going to spend all of the money.

Other powerful nations are attacking the dominance of the U.S.

dollar as the world's reserve currency, as I laid out on last night's 9 p.m.

Blaze TV show.

Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, they've all joined forces to create a new international currency.

People told me all the time, oh, America, people can't live without it.

We have the best currency in the world.

I mean, sure, it's bad, but it's better than everybody else.

And I used to say to them all the time, you're assuming that no one will try to put together another World Reserve currency.

That's not a bet I'm happy with.

Well, here it is.

They're doing it around the world.

That's why please call Goldline.

Extremely rare product that has been sold out for months is available again at Goldline.

Their historic $5 Liberty coin is back.

It's going to sell out probably by the end of the week.

Maybe.

I don't know how much they have, but they're very rare.

The coins are historic, and that's important.

Ask them why I buy these kinds of coins when you call them.

Goldline is also giving away a pure half-ounce platinum coin with every roll of 20 of the historic $5 gold Liberties acquired.

That's over $600 retail value for free just to protect your family's financial future.

Sorry, 866 Gold Line.

They're waiting for your call now.

866 Gold Line.

So Stu during the break said, so wait, how does this end?

Because they're hollowing out the middle class.

They're killing the consumer and they're doing it intentionally because they will be the consumers.

You will own nothing.

They will consume and rent to you.

And that's what they're building.

And he said, so how does all of this end?

I don't have time to explain it to you today.

I did last night on Blaze Blaze TV if you want to go back and watch that.

But I think it's worth maybe a half hour tomorrow of explaining here on the radio.

President Z gave a speech last week or the week before, and he urged those in the West to read this.

Well, what was it he was urging?

And it was basically the recipe of how they're going to collapse our economy.

And they're doing it.

It's already in the works.

It's just a matter of time.

And it is something that I've warned about for a long time.

You don't want to miss that.

You can either get the whole episode from last night, you can get it on demand right now.

If you're a subscriber to Blaze TV, join us.

We need your support.

Or for free tomorrow on the radio program.
