Oh my gosh.
You know, I thought all this rioting was caused by
Antifa and all of the Democrats that are in office and that are funding it, that are backing it, that are bailing people out,
that are doing nothing about it.
I thought it was the Democrats.
And then I heard Joe Biden speak yesterday.
And oh my gosh, these are not the droids you're looking for.
It was amazing.
And he is so on top of it.
Let me just give you a quick clip of what he said about COVID in this speech yesterday.
COVID has taken this year just since the outbreak.
Just since the outbreak.
It's taken
more than 100 years.
More than what?
Here's the lives.
It's just,
when you think about it.
Okay, I am trying.
More lives this year than any other year
for the past 100 years.
Wow, that is.
and
this is serious
they're actually running this guy but wait there's more and we get to it in 60 seconds this is the glenbeck program
so stew i want you to i mean this year since the outbreak And schooling hasn't been there's a hundred years
uh i mean a hundred years of each year i mean you know think about it well if you think about it schooling there's one one one year per 100 years for every year for schooling
i don't think i it's obvious right i don't hang on we just had a power outage are we still on i think we should just keep going as if we are that's still on radio okay that's how this works mr hall of fame

I don't even know what commercial it is.
It's obviously.
It's lifelock.
So the 100 years of this year and the schooling and kids are now, what?
At home for 100 years.
And they don't have
the wherewithal to
stop cyber criminals.
That was a good cover.
Wow.
Can we move up the induction?
No, we can't.
We can't.
We can't.
No, now it doesn't matter if I'm any good.
I'm already in the Hall of Fame.
You can never take that away.
So now I'm trying some.
There are some

Okay, okay.
So anyway, Life Lock right now can help you with your kids and 100 years in school and cyber criminals.
So all you have to do now is just call Life Lock and they solve that problem that Joe Biden was talking about.
It's a big job.
You can't do it yourself.
You cannot.
I mean, we had in my neighborhood,
our school alerted us.
There is somebody that was attacking
the
online classes and all of the kids.
And the police called and said,
we're about to nail this gang that is trying to get in and
do what people do with children, I guess.
They are everywhere.
Stu doesn't understand what I'm saying.
It was a bad,
looks like a ring of predators.
And what's really frightening is
my children and all their friends knew what we were talking about when we read it.
And we said, do you guys know about this?
And they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, I don't think it's funny, but a lot of my friends think it's funny.
We're like,
yeah, this is a really bad ring.

Tomorrow night.
Donald Trump's win was a big blow to Silicon Valley elites in 2016.
You know, let's face it, most people here are pretty upset and pretty sad because of the election.
And now, big tech is working overtime to influence the presidential race the way they want.
Facebook, YouTube, Google, Glenn exposes the tools they're using to manipulate your vote.
Watch digital stormtroopers, how big tech will silence you and steal the election.
Tomorrow night, 9 p.m.
Eastern at PlaySt.com slash Glenn.
Now,
I have some good news for you.
I think that that battle is going to be uphill for them, but they can swing it up to.
Is 10 or 15 points?
I just read it again this morning.
It's an enormous amount that they can swing it.
Tech can swing the election.
So we're going to be on that tomorrow, but it is going to be, I think, a bigger blowout than what the polls are showing.
I could be wrong.
I usually am wrong.
I want to be really clear.
I usually am wrong when it comes to politics.
But let's just wait and see.
The Democrats, they think they're in trouble, so much so that they think that they can get away with something because apparently their voters are so stupid that they don't remember that for months they've heard nothing but crickets from the left when it comes to condemning the riots and the violence.
And I mean, it's been a slow burn horror movie gradually smoldering amongst the desperate Democratic Party that had zero message, zero unity, and facing a serious inter-party inter-party civil war.
So, what did they do?
They just blew.
Hang on, I think I got a spark.
And they've been trying to get a race or class riot started for a very long time.
Now, what happens when it looks like it's backfiring on them?
They're trying to reverse course and not saying, you know what, we made a mistake.
No, no, no.
They are acting as if none of that happened.
Here's clip one from yesterday, Joe Biden in Philadelphia.
You know, this is a tragic fact of the matter that about his perilous hour, that how he's dealing with this perilous hour in our nation.
And now we have to stand against violence in every form it takes.
Violence, we've seen again and again and again of unwarranted police shooting, excessive force, seven bullets to the back of Jacob Blake, knee on the neck neck of George Floyd, killing of Breonna Taylor in her own apartment, violence of extremists and opportunists, right-wing militias, white supremacists, vigilantes,
you know, who infiltrate protests carrying weapons of war, hoping to wreak havoc and to derail any hope and support for progress.
That is quite a statement coming from Joe Biden.
First of all, the American people were not against
the stopping of any of those guys.
There was not a problem with any of those shootings.
Far as the American public, we were all on the same side.
We wanted them to stop.
We didn't think that George Floyd should have had a neck or knee on his neck.
We all agreed.
But no, no, the Democrats wanted to make sure there were protests and not peaceful protests.
They did nothing in city after city to stop riots and looting.
I'm sorry, that's a different story.
And we've all seen that story.
We've also seen Maxine Waters stand in front of a crowd and actually tell people to track down and harass cabinet members.
We saw Eric Holder say, when they go low, we kick them.
We've heard Hillary Clinton say, we just can't be civil anymore.
And when the rioting that they so desperately hoped would happen actually happened, we watched Nancy Pelosi say, you know, people will do what people do.
Congressman Nadler told the violence was a myth.
Ayana Presley went on national TV and said there needs to be unrest in the street.
So did Nancy Pelosi, let's not forget.
Why aren't people rioting?
But it wasn't just the Democrats in D.C.
Their propaganda arm, the mainstream media, was quick to back the play.
CNN hilariously said the protests were peaceful while standing in front of a parking lot full of burning cars.
They did it again last week.
You know what they actually came out and said?
They actually now have come out and said, hey, a few blocks is not a whole city.
Well, tell that to the people who live in those few blocks.
Do you not care about individuals at all?
And what neighborhoods are they burning down?
The nice ones?
The overall grand strategy was to let America burn, hoping that it would make Trump look bad.
Well, it backfired, and dare I say it, bigly.
Polls are now turning the so-called early rout that Democrats thought they were seeing a few months ago now into a virtual tie.
Real clear politics just released their new betting odds for who will win, and it's a toss-up.
But I don't think it actually is a toss-up.
I think there are millions of Democrats and Independents who might have not liked Donald Trump,
but they see what's happened to their Democratic Party and they want nothing to do with it.
Seems like Americans just don't like blood in the streets.
They don't like rioting and violence.
They don't like when their livelihoods are destroyed and their elected officials just stand by watching it happen.
I am going to be very interested to see what happens in the next mayoral election in Portland, in Seattle, in Kenosha.
So now we have a few Democrats that are willing to come out and publicly state that
rioting is bad, the obvious.
But that's not what they actually believe.
Because they're on record saying the exact opposite.
The only reason why they're saying it now is because they're now pointing the finger at Trump.
I want you to listen to
Cut Three.
I look at this violence and I see lives and communities and the dreams of small businesses being destroyed.
Oh my gosh.
And the opportunity for real progress on the issues of race and police reform and justice.
being put to the test.
Donald Trump looks at this violence and he sees a political lifeline.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
Never mind a Black Lives Matter started under the Obama administration.
Do you remember that?
Do we have the video of Ferguson?
When did that happen?
That happened under the Obama administration.
Go ahead and play it, please.
You need to disperse immediately or you will be subject to arrest.
Do it now.
This is not Donald Trump's America, as Joe Biden is saying.
Broken into and looted.
Tear gas has been thrown, water bottles we witnessed being thrown at police.
If you remember,
this tear gas just dropped right near us.
It's going to get very bad here if we don't have masks.
If you remember right, in Portland, they were rioting under Donald, under
Joe Biden and Barack Obama's America as well.
This has been fomented.
This has been really well crafted.
It is the Democrats that have put $175 million
into Black Lives Matter Inc.'s coffers.
This is not, you're watching a stage play.
And now the playwright sees that at intermission, everybody is walking out.
And he's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
And he's trying to change what the character said in the first half.
Nobody's going to buy that.
These are Democratic governors, Democratic mayors, Democratic city councils.
These are progressive hell holes that have these people have been in power for decades.
So how is that Trump's fault?
I mean, do you really believe Democrats,
and I'm talking about the Democrats in power, do you really believe your voters are this stupid?
I mean, even I don't believe that.
And you always say I think the worst of the Democrats that are voting.
No, I don't.
I think they're patriotic Americans, many of them, liberals that I disagree with.
But they're not revolutionaries.
They don't hate America.
They don't go out and burn the flag.
They come with us to 4th of July.
They go in awe, and yes, even some of them occasionally weep.
During
the fireworks, the Star-Spangled Banner.
Many of them are very patriotic.
You don't think they are.
You think they're all revolutionaries and dumb ones at that
because they won't remember what you've been saying.
You know,
how is this Trump's fault?
It's his fault that the same Democratic officials are now rejecting help from federal law enforcement, refusing the National Guard, telling their cops to stand down?
That's Trump's fault.
Was Ferguson's Trump's fault as well?
Was Ferguson really in 2014?
And if this is the case, why didn't they use that line at any time during the DNC?
Because the polls hadn't come out yet.
Democrats were getting exactly what they wanted.
And now Americans are pissed off.
They think you're stupid.
I'm sorry.
I don't think America is that stupid.
A few weeks ago, Senator Ted Cruz repeatedly gave the good senator from Hawaii multiple opportunities to call out the rioters.
She actually got up and walked out of the room.
She wouldn't declare the rioters as a problem.
It's the same song and dance that Democrats like Pelosi, Nadler, refusing to call out the violence.
It was their strategy.
They wanted the main street of U.S.
to burn down, and they coordinated their collective silence.
Let's remember,
the vice president wantabe, Kamala Harris, was on the late show with Stephen Colbert.
Here's what she said about the riots.
Oh, we don't have it.
Sorry, we don't have it.
Two months ago, she said, quote, this is a movement.
I'm telling you, everyone, beware.
Protesters are not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election Day.
They should not.
They should not.
And we should not.
She's fine.
There's a lot more to go over.
Stand by, give me 60 seconds, and we'll get back on the saddle on this.

Now, she's been looking at a floor plan for a while.
And she said, I can't.
I couldn't see it until they drew it out from like you're standing in the room.
What?

So
peaceful protests.
Peaceful protests.
Here we have Kamala Harris on Colbert saying this.
Clear that I know that there are protests still happening in major cities across the United States.
I'm just not seeing the reporting on it that I that I
for the first few weeks.
That's right.
But they're not going to stop.
They're not going to stop.
And that's, they're not, this is a movement, I'm telling you.
They're not going to stop.
And everyone beware because they're not going to stop.
They're not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election Day.
And they know that.
And that should be, everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't, they're not going to let up, and they should not.
Okay, so this is, she knows that because they're coordinating with the Democrats.
All right, but they call
they call the riots protests.
America stopped calling these protests a long time ago.
The only ones that are doing it right now are the Democrats, and they're even changing the Democrats and the media.
They've called these peaceful, peaceful protests with, you know, some violence.
No, I see violence.
No, and I don't see peaceful protests anymore at all.
Have you have you seen peaceful protesters anywhere?
You know, you get them during the day.
You get them before the night
turns down.
And then as soon as all the reporters go home and it's just the police and the peaceful protesters, then they turn into non-peaceful protesters.
They did something.
Kamala Harris did something along with the Democrats that I don't think a lot of people know about.
And if they're not supporting these people,
why are they doing this?
We'll tell you about that
in just a minute.

Pat Gray is joining us now from Pat Gray Unleashed.
And this is the Glenn Beck program.
I want to go over just one thing, and Pat, maybe you can help us out.
Kamala Harris and the Democrats now are coming out and they're saying they're against these riots.
But if you're against these riots, why would you be bailing people out?
Now, you bail protesters out, but protesters usually are just released on their own recognizance, or it's a very small bail.
Let's say it's 300 bucks.
Early on, that was the average bail, $343.
Now the average bail is $13,000.
And Harris had been pushing an organization called the Minnesota Freedom Fund, and the donations were going to be spent to bail out protesters that were arrested by police.
Now, I mean, you shouldn't, if you're protesting, you don't go to jail in America.
It's if you've done something.
But these were not peaceful.
And the left wanted them out of jail to be able to continue to wreak havoc.
So Kamala Harris's advocacy for the Minnesota Freedom Fund helped her draw donors from Hollywood.
We know at least 13 members from Joe Biden's campaign were also donors, and they bragged about it all over Twitter.
They've raised $30 million.
Okay.
We can't really figure out where all of that money went because Minnesota operates in a way to make sure you can't really find out who was actually bailed out by the Minnesota Freedom Fund.
But Fox 9 in Minneapolis did some legwork and found some of the names.
Listen to this.
One of those that they bailed out was Jalil Stallings.
He's a guy that was peacefully protesting with a
kind of a handmade gun that he made into an AK-47, where he was shooting at members of the SWAT team during the riots in May.
They recovered a modified shot.
It was mostly peaceful.
Yeah, it was mostly peaceful.
I mean, he had to breathe in between shots.
He didn't just continue to hold the trigger down.
He didn't shoot at everybody.
Exactly right.
Mostly.
It was just SWAT members.
They paid $75,000 in cash to get him out.
Now, this is Kamala Harris.
She's raising money for this group, and they're bailing him out.
Why would you want him out on the streets?
Why would you want him?
The Biden campaign, Kamala Harris,
they should be asked, why did you help fund the bail for an attempted cop killer?
Why?
Another person bailed out was Darnika Floyd.
She was charged with second-degree murder for stabbing her friend to death.
They released her on $100,000 cash for her release.
Why are the Democrats?
What?
Christopher Boswell, a twice-convicted rapist, currently charged with kidnapping, assault, and sexual assault on two separate cases.
They paid $350,000 in cash for his release.
Before the death of George Floyd, this organization with Democrats' support, Biden and Harris's support, and fundraisers in their own midst, they bailed out 563 people.
The average bail was 342.
However, after,
after George Floyd, they've bailed out 184 people.
The average bail, 13,195.
That means the violent of the violent of the street rioters are being bailed out and put back on the street by the Democratic Party.
The president of the American Bail Coalition, his name is Jeff Clayton.
I saw a story.
He said, there has to be some scrutiny on this.
It has to be violent criminals because that's all that's left.
There's nobody else left.
There are no protesters left to spend this kind of money on.
Yeah, because there's no protesters in jail, just violent rioters like
Jael Stallings, who is shooting at police and trying to kill the police.
And for them to now take this stand is so insulting to their voters.
Not to me.
I know who they are.
But to their voters.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
And quite honestly, it's evil.
The lies that are going on, absolute evil.
Yeah, well,
I just had Paul Kangor on my show earlier this morning, and he was talking about Karl Marx.
His new book is called
The Devil and Karl Marx.
And when you read the quotes that came out of Marx's mouth and read some of the poetry that he wrote, there are people, Paul doesn't go this far, but he makes the point that there are people who think that Karl Marx was actually possessed by Satan
during his lifetime.
And that's how he came up with Marxism, with his theory.
Even if you're not, by the way, can I just ADD moment?
moment, I'm just seeing this picture of at Pittsburgh, the speech that Joe Biden gave.
If you're giving a speech about how safe the cities are, you shouldn't do it from a cage.
I'm just saying.
But anyway, he's got this big cage behind him.
Anyway, the.
But I think I never thought of it like that.
I don't know why, because I should have.
As evil as Marxism is, it kind of makes sense that he was possessed when he...
Yeah, I don't know about the possession thing, but he was certainly influenced.
I mean, this is...
right.
It could have been written by Satan.
I mean,
everything about it is evil.
It takes away people's agency.
It destroys people's
strength.
You know, it makes them just puppets.
It destroys the spirit of entrepreneurship and the spirit of, you know, each of us are individuals by everything about it.
By its very nature, it necessitates eliminating religion.
You can't be communist and religious at the same time.
You can't.
You've got to be an atheist.
I mean, that's part of Marxism.
It's really part of Marxism.
Do you buy it?
Did you read the book?
I have not read the book yet.
I'm going to now because it sounded fascinating.
Now, I don't know necessarily that
he was possessed.
I think it's definitely possible.
Why wouldn't?
I mean, why not?
The guy,
the evil that flowed from him,
who knows?
I mean, by their fruits, ye shall know them.
Yeah.
And his fruits are pretty evil.
He also goes into the book about why hasn't Karl Marx been canceled?
Yeah, right.
Because of the anti-Semitism and the random
racism.
Like, and again,
it's not just recent people who have been canceled, right?
They've been tearing down these statues of people all across the country and the world.
And, you know, Karl Marx should never be mentioned favorably
in college college or anything else about these rules.
How about the stuff he wrote about his own son-in-law?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Destroyed him.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
And didn't he kill himself?
His son-in-law killed himself.
Yeah, he did destroy him.
He destroyed his life.
And I think
his daughter did as well.
Two of his daughters died in suicide packs.
With their husbands.
Yeah.
I mean, they got to do it.
Suicide packs.
Just that alone is pretty evil.
Pretty evil.
Yeah.
It's ugliness.
And yet, it's being pursued by how many young people now today?
Because they don't see the fruits of it today, except for communism in China, where it's a hybrid of capitalism.
So that kind of
negates it a little bit.
Yeah,
that's the new thing.
Yeah.
That's the new thing.
That is
the great reset, is a hybrid between, they'll call it socialism, but it's communism, state control, but they let some people have control.
I'm sorry.
Let some people own businesses, but the state still controls it.
So, you know, you take the risk, but the state gets all of the benefits.
And
that would be Hitler's, you know, style of socialism, where you can still own some property, et cetera, et cetera, but the state absolute has control over all of it and can tell you how much you're paying your workers, how much you're going to work them, what you're going to make, what you're not going to make, where you're going to sell it.
Well,
that's Chinese communism.
And that's what they're headed for with this great reset that we'll be telling you about soon.
I think that's absolutely not only
possible, but plausible that he was deeply influenced by darkness.
I mean, look at Sololinsky.
Sololinsky
dedicates the book to Satan.
And nobody seems to mind.
Right.
I mean,
it's amazing to me how open
evil is right right now.
And nobody seems to...
Where are our churches?
You know, yesterday I played some audio of a...
Some of them have been infiltrated by communism.
That's where some of them are.
Evil.
Yeah.
But you got to stop.
We have to stop calling this just socialism or communism.
What is being preached right now is evil.
It is evil.
Right.
And we were trying to avoid that word, but there's no avoiding it now.
There's just no avoiding it because there's only one word for it, and that is evil.
I mean, tell me,
what does it do?
What are the fruits?
By your fruits, ye shall know them exactly right.
What are the fruits of everything that is being preached right now and being demanded on the streets?
Look at the way the people are acting.
I don't recognize
these people that are on the streets.
I don't recognize them.
They've stopped being thinking people.
They are just destroyers.
Look at the way they were treating Rand Paul.
If they actually believed in something, Stu, what was that really complex thing that you did last week?
Remember, you said you gotta.
Oh,
yeah, it's a process.
It's learn.
Learn.
Then protest.
Then protest.
But in that order, in that order, it's way too complex for the average person.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a lot.
A lot of people like to confusing.
Yeah, it's confusing.
Yeah.
And then it's really hard.
Riot.
Right.
Uh-huh.
But because of
he says, he says, if they would have just,
what was the first one again?
Learn.
Learn.
Learn.
About Rand Paul and the fact that he was leading the effort to do exactly what they were yelling at him about.
They wouldn't have tried to kill him.
Ha, you get it.
That's weird.
That's weird.
You pick that up when you learn.
Yeah, okay.
And then you can go out and protest if what you've learned
justifies the protest.
Just going out there and screaming at every person that goes by in a suit, not quite as effective.
What's it called when you take a brick and run it behind somebody and smash them in the head with it, knock them out
so that they go face first into the pavement?
Yeah, that's
attempted murder.
Unless you put it on Instagram.
Okay, then it's okay.
And then
you laugh about it.
That guy was out.
When he hit the pavement, that could have killed him.
See,
this is how stupid his complex system is.
I can still go out and murder, then learn.
and protest.
Oh, you can?
Yeah.
I don't know if that's really part of my system.
Yeah, I can.
Where do I murder?
Oh, the murdering is not in my system.
I have a thou shalt not policy.
Oh, bloody.
Stick in the mud.
That's old-fashioned nonsense.
What a prude.
I guess there's no burning cities down either.
No, no, no burning cities down at all.
What?

We're glad you're here today.
I just want to play some audio here from Oakland, California.
Now, remember,
these protesters, they're peaceful, and all they're looking for is just, you know,
some peace in the streets and just let's get the best police officers out there.
And you'll hear that in their chant.
This is yesterday in Oakland, California.
Wouldn't you love this?
Now they're peaceful, mostly peaceful.
They are peaceful, I mean, mostly.
I mean, but they're just marching there and chanting death to America.
And I think that's reasonable, you know.
It's a good position.
You know, I mean, it's worked for a very long time in Iran
and held their people together.
And why not?
Why not here?
Why are we so xenophobic that we don't want another culture and their slogans coming here?
Is that the thing to learn from that?
Well, I think so.
They're open-minded people.
They're like, look, you know, let's embrace some different cultures.
They say death to America.
Why can't we?
There was a time, I think, in this country, and correct me if I'm wrong, Glenn, you're kind of a historian around here.
But
wasn't there a time where politicians running for office would try to distance themselves from a group of people saying they're for America's family?
There was a time.
Now, this is the old timey times.
But there was a time when presidents would not only distance themselves from people saying death to America, they would say, this is an enemy of the state.
And sometimes they would go to war.
with people that were chanting death to America.
Wow, that sounds bad.
Yeah.
That sounds bad.
Well, they were so close-minded.
They were like, hey, your culture is not better than ours.
You know, we still haven't seen tons of pollings since all this stuff has happened, but it's like, are they,
it's like they're trying to give Trump the election.
If you were one of these protesters, what on earth would you think is happening here?
Can I tell you something?
Think about it this way.
Let's just say they do win.
How emboldened is the left in this country and these groups to think that they could do this in the streets and America would back it.
I mean, can you even imagine what's coming next if this is emboldened and rewarded?
And Bernie said, as soon as he gets elected, all they're going to do is try to push him to be the most progressive president possible.
That was Bernie's outlook for the future.
Well, it won't be hard, especially, you know, won't be long before they're pushing him, you know, in a little chair with wheels.
You know, come on, let's go in here.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
This is the most important election of all time.
The most important election of our lifetime.
I swore that off, I think, in 2012.
But this one
may be even more than just more important and the most important in our lifetime.
This may be the last real election.
Things are going to change so much depending on who wins.
What are the stakes of this election?

So Jason, he's from Texas.
He writes in, says, I have a nine-year-old Great Dane who has a thyroid problem.
Up until recently, she would sleep 23 hours out of the day.
That was before she tried rough greens.
Jason wrote in, I can't believe the difference.
She does a happy dance all the way to her bowl.
She's so much more active.
She even jumped on on my shoulders twice last week.
Those dogs are amazing.
She hadn't been able to do that in five years.
It's an amazing transformation.
I want to tell you about rough greens.
It's not a dog food.
It's a supplement that you put on your dog's food, and it has all of the nutrients that your dog needs, but get cooked out of the kibble food when it's being made.
Probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, omega oils, just some of the things that your dog needs to live a healthier lifestyle.
And they are all things that are in rough greens.
I brought this to my vet and said, Should I feed this to my dog?
And she said, She looked at all the ingredients and said, Please, this is great.
And the dogs love it, they just love it.
Give your dog the Rough Greens 14-day jumpstart bag today, $14.95.
See the difference in your dog in 14 days or less.
Just go to roughgreens.com/slash Beck, roughgreens.com/slash Beck, or call 833-Glenn33.

Michael Anton, he was a former national security official in the Trump administration, senior fellow at the Claremont Institute, and he has a new book out called The Stakes, America at the Point of No Return, which is exactly where we are.
Michael, welcome to the program.
How are you?
Thanks for being on.
I just want to mention also
my day job, my primary affiliation is that I'm a lecturer at Hillsdale College at our
campus in Washington, D.C.
Oh, really, a really good institution to be associated with.
A fine institution, indeed.
Okay, so
you are, of course, with this book, you're going to be called
crazy conspiracy theory.
You're overreacting.
It's all of these things.
Trust me, I've been called this for a very long time.
And I can't punch a hole in what you're saying is coming because I don't think people really
the end of America as we know it is here and it's just waiting for November 3rd to see which way we're going to go.
Yeah, I'd love to be wrong.
I've never more wanted to be wrong.
You know, you don't want to put six months of your life into something as grueling as writing a book and then say that you hope your entire thesis is wrong.
But, you know, what patriotic, decent American wants to be right about the end of your country as you know it.
I certainly don't, but I had to write the book honestly and call it as I saw it.
And it's pretty obvious to me, first of all, from having grown up in California and lived in New York, I've seen what happens once voting patterns, demographics, et cetera, tip a place permanently blue so that there's no effective opposition and what Democrats and liberals do.
And it's very bad.
Second of all, all you have to do is listen to what they say and watch what they try to do at the national level to get a picture of what they will do when they have, when and if they gain blue dominance coast to coast and essentially turn the USA into a giant California New York, it's not hard to figure out what they're going to do.
All you got to do is look at what they've already done, look at what they're doing now, and look at what they say they want to do.
So again, if I'm a crazy alarmist and
it's all not happening, I'd like to hear a convincing refutation of why they won't do what they're already doing and say they want to do.
Okay, so describe
America, you know, a year from now, should the Democrats win.
Well, look, think about some of the completely radical things on their agenda that they ran on.
Tearing down existing sections of the wall, right?
Not only are they against President Trump's wall, which is still not complete, not because the President doesn't want to build the wall, but because he faces so much internal opposition from the federal government, they want to tear down sections that immediately exist.
Joe Biden has said he will amnesty every illegal immigrant in the country.
And he uses the fake number 11 million, which we've been hearing for something like 20 years now.
How is it that with porous borders and about a million and a half new entries a year or whatever it is that's gone down under the Trump administration, that
11 million figures remain static for a couple of decades?
That seems unlikely, doesn't it?
Well, Yale University put out a study last year,
I think it's actually in late 2018, saying we think the number is more like 22 million, right?
We don't know how many illegal immigrants are in the country, but Joe Biden will amnesty them all.
And then they will be eligible for family reunification visas for relatives abroad, which is a dumb part of the immigration law that President Trump would like to get rid of, but hasn't been ⁇ so-called chain migration, but hasn't been able to do because
it's impossible to get any piece of good legislation through Congress.
So just in Joe Biden's first term alone, we could see the additional importation of tens of millions of new people, all fast-tracked to citizenship,
so that they can tip purple states blue and produce an electoral lock for the Democratic Party.
Remember the first Democratic debate when they were asked, the ten candidates were asked, how many of you would extend Medicaid to illegal aliens?
Of course, they never would use the phrase illegal alien.
They use whatever euphemism they used, undocumented immigrants or something.
All ten hands went up.
So we're going to bankrupt these federal programs designed, however imperfectly designed, to help American citizens by
giving the care away completely free to people who broke the law to come into the country in the first place.
I mean,
these are just the beginnings of the radicalism of their agenda that I'm convinced they will implement if they get in and take power.
So
I'm with you on those things, Michael, but I am
more concerned,
that's
a hard thing to say, but I am more concerned that the silencing of voices, the silencing of our churches,
the silencing of conservatives.
I mean, it is not unusual now to hear people on CNN or whatever saying, you know, conservatives really need to be re-educated.
You know,
they are in a very frightening
Stalinist kind of path right now.
And for the most part, so far they're doing it through,
they've outsourced the silencing of voices, censorship, and and so on to private companies, to the social media companies and others.
And so you guys do this, and the government doesn't necessarily need to do it.
I shudder to think what they will do when they also have complete state power.
Look, I think their preference is, yes, we absolutely want a lockdown on what can be said, but we'd prefer not to have to use the government to do it because that can get messy, and there might be court challenges, we might lose, it might be unpopular.
But so far, there's been very little pushback on tech censorship and complete tech control of speech and thought in this country.
And the Dems like it that way because they know that they can count on the tech companies to do exactly what they want them to do.
But all of that will get worse.
There should be right now, there should be significant governmental pushback on these tech monopolies, and there isn't any.
We know for an absolute fact that the tech companies are overwhelmingly Democratic in the voting patterns of their employees and in the donations of their executives.
And so when you have a Democratic administration in in the White House again, I think you'll see these two
institutions work hand in glove to an even greater extent than they have so far, and that will be disastrous for freedom of speech and freedom of thought.
And you mentioned churches.
Another thing that worries me very, very much is the way these lockdowns have taken place.
We have a legislative branch for a reason.
And if there's a need to change policy because of an emergency, right, we should be working through legislative institutions, institutions, whether that's the Congress, whether it's the state legislature, whether it's a city council.
But all over the country, we've seen mayors and governors just say, as if they have the power, you can't go outside anymore.
Now, that's rule by fiat.
I mean, that really is, and they call President Trump a fascist and all these kinds of names.
Oh, no.
What is this extra legislative, extrajudicial power where an executive without color of law in any respect just says, I've gave an order, you now must follow it?
I don't know, but that's not the kind of government America is supposed to be, and it's not the kind that I want to live in.
Trevor Burrus, Jr.: So
they are making rules up for themselves where
you can't go to church, but you can go out and protest.
You can go out and riot,
but you can't peacefully protest if you're on the wrong side in some states.
It seems like the more,
I hate to use such terminology, but I don't I can't think of any other.
It seems kind of like the more destructive a thing is, the more they're willing to tolerate or even encourage it.
And the more peaceful and constructive it is, the more they hate it.
So they'll shut down all kinds of businesses, but make sure the pot dispensaries stay open and liquor stores stay open.
Now, why is that?
I sense a kind of sinister agenda from what I call in the book the ruling class.
They want as much sort of soul-destroying garbage in the culture as possible because it keeps the population from getting too restive and from noticing their bad governance and maybe fighting back.
I mean,
that was part of the deal with the Weimar Republic.
Yeah.
And so, you know, I mean, why are we legalizing marijuana all over the country?
And why are
Republican lawmakers when they leave Congress,
including a former Speaker of the House, becoming lobbyists for marijuana, which is a substance, whatever you think of it, I mean, it's not conducive to having a constructive life or to, you know, ultimately to the social order.
I think it's because they think, you know, well, the more people are just on the couch stoned, then, you know, the less trouble they're going going to give us.
Trevor Burrus, Jr.: You talk in the book about a couple of things that I would like you to expand on.
Caesarism?
Yeah.
Explain.
Caesarism is a form of, so it's obviously named after the first Caesar, Julius Caesar, who took over the last remnant of the Roman Republic about 50 years before the birth of Christ and turned it into a one-man rule state.
It's a particular form of one-man rule.
Another way of terming one-man absolute rule is, you know, you can call an absolute monarchy or you can call it a tyranny, right?
But it's a particular form that becomes,
in a sense, if not justified,
maybe necessitated when the constitutional order is broken and can't go on.
And so you ask me about this.
This is in a chapter of the book, chapter 7, in which I speculate.
I basically don't take sides.
I don't make recommendations, but I say, if the present ruling arrangement is a thing that can't go on forever, as I think it's possible, then it'll have to stop.
It'll have to break.
What will follow it?
Caesarism is one of those things that could follow it.
If present trends continue, especially without President Trump and his closest allies fighting them,
I think the country as we've known it could break, and then something has to follow.
And that Caesarism could be one of those things.
And Caesarism could
emerge from either side.
It's easier to imagine Caesarism coming from the blue side or the Democratic side just because they have all of the commanding heights,
powerful institutions in America now, except one, the White House, which they're determined to get back this fall.
It's harder to imagine a path for a Caesarism of the other side to happen, but not impossible.
And I give all of the reasons and sort of speculate about how this one might happen or that one might happen, just because I think no one's thinking about these things.
And I point the finger in particular at conservatives.
I'm not going to name names necessarily, but there's a strain of conservative thought which is so in love with the idea of American exceptionalism that it thinks that nothing can ever get bad enough for America, for America to fundamentally change for the worse.
So, human possibilities that have been around since there has been mankind, you know, the fall of republics, tyrannies, civil wars, things like that, we don't even have to think about them in America because they can't happen here anymore.
And I think that's foolish.
And somebody needed to begin the conversation about, well, what happens if it does get bad enough?
And so I stuck my neck out and did that.
Trevor Burrus, Jr.: So, Michael Anton, he's the author of The Stakes.
And
I want to talk to you about, because I think we're closer to these things, Michael, than most people do.
I could see a breakdown on the election.
It's already going to happen with the Democrats saying mail in votes.
It'll be days before we know.
That will be a shock to the system.
And it will, you know, probably will end that night with Trump being ahead.
Then
these ballots ballots will trickle in and trickle in and trickle in, and it will appear as a stealing.
Even if Trump continues to hold, they are going to say, look how many people are being disenfranchised.
They're throwing all these ballots out because the typical number of ballots on mail-in that are thrown out is about 20%.
And they'll make this into some new scandal.
I could see either side standing up and saying, that's not my president.
It's not my president.
And secession, serious talk of secession, where states say, I'm not abiding by you because you're out of control.
I worried about this too.
I do go into some of these election issues in the book.
I couldn't, you know,
they're so vast and complicated that I write an entire book about how
to do modern election fraud, especially with the way these changes are taking place.
So I'm foreseeing exactly the same possibility that you foresee.
I mean the best, you know, we probably won't have what we had in 2016 where by about two or three o'clock in the morning, if you were still awake, you knew who the president was going to be, right?
It was over.
And, you know, days may be optimistic.
It could be weeks or months.
So I have a section in that famous chapter, well, famous, it's not famous yet, but it might be.
Chapter seven in which I say states could secede, and this could happen from the blue left or the red right, depending.
Now, and I don't necessarily even know that, you know, there's two ways to talk about secession, right?
One is actually pulling it off, right?
Because
the other is just giving it a try.
So what happens if a state just passes a state legislature passes a resolution and says we've seceded from the United States of America?
Well, it's not really accomplished until the issue is settled and both sides agree, yeah, yeah, we're separate countries now.
Are the feds going to necessarily accept that?
And if they decide that they don't want to accept it, what are they going to do about it?
And will what they try to do about it be effective?
These are all questions that I think we've barely begun thinking about, much less thinking through.
I admit,
I don't resolve any of them in the book because I don't know the answers.
But
I think I have raised all of the questions that we need to be talking about.
And if I haven't, I urge people to read what I wrote and
write it up somewhere and say, well, Anton forgot this, and he didn't think about this, and he didn't think about that, because we need to get on this right away.
So I tell you, Michael, I thank you for doing this from the point of view from the conservative right
because I do believe the left has already wargamed this years ago.
Yeah, I don't know.
You say they wargame, they wargamed it pretty recently.
I'm assuming you saw the leak that they deliberately planted in, I can't remember if it was Politico or the New York Times about a month ago, where they got together and they had a war game scenario that included secession, and then they deliberately put that out into the press
for reasons we can only speculate about.
But you don't leak something to the press unless you think you're going to benefit from the leak.
So they must think that they benefit from the leak somehow.
And in one of those scenarios
in which President Trump wins, this is a remember, these are Democratic and anti-Trump players playing this game.
Trump wins convincingly in the Electoral College, but loses the popular vote, just like 2016.
And the Biden campaign refuses to concede and tries to urge
states where
Trump won to send Biden electors and
from there
the dispute gets to a point where remember if it if the election gets kicked into the House it's not the full house that votes it's the state delegations each state has a vote so even though the Democrats control the House right they don't control they don't control it right each state delegation in that sense so under this scenario certain states I think they had California and some others seceded because they didn't want to live under President Trump.
Now, call me crazy, and many people will,
but
I have a hard time imagining Red America saying, oh, no, California, please don't go.
I am sorry.
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, Michael.
I'm sorry, I have a network break.
I've got to stop for the author of The Stakes,
Michael Anton.
You need to pick this up because we do need to start thinking things through.
Thank you, Michael.
Back in just a second.
Today's world filled with audio input, radio, podcasts, music stations, Pandora, Spotify, audiobook, everything.
The choices are now limitless.
And there is a couple of things that
you might want to think about.
First, having an hour of quiet time a day.
Nothing, nothing.
Just quiet.
Just listen to the silence.
But when you want to listen, you want to be able to have an earpod that stays in your ear if you're exercising, one that's comfortable to wear, and one that kind of isolates you.
One with six hours of playtime, seamless Bluetooth pairing, more bass, a compact design, gives you a nice noise-isolating fit and one-size-fits-all system that they have.
It is, it's really great.

We are going to have to have Michael back on again because I think he is saying the things that
I think about, but I don't think enough people are thinking about.
We have to have,
we can't be blindsided.
And I do believe that the Democrats have thought these things through.
This is,
you know, look, they tried to have a coup against the president.
They're not going to sit around on their thumbs and let the stupid people just walk away and have Donald Trump.
We can't allow that to happen.
That's why they did what they did last time.
They've thought this through and all of the different possibilities.
We must as well, for those who want to preserve the Constitution and defend the Constitution
against all enemies, foreign and domestic, you've got to start thinking in a different way.
Highly recommend you pick this book up.
It's called The Stakes, America at the Point of No Return.
Back in just a second with Ken Cuccinelli.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Can't wait to hear from the Department of Homeland Security on what's been happening with the executions.
All right, if you're looking for an alternative to AARP,
well, let me start here.
If you're not, you should be.
If you're a conservative, get out of AARP.
Join the Association of Mature American Citizens, or AMAC, fastest-growing 50-plus organization in America.
And if you're with AMAC, you're going to get the discounts on your car insurance, your hotel, road-side assistance, dental plans, cell phone service options that you might not otherwise have.
Many more benefits to make your life really easy and save you a lot of money.
But here's the difference.
AMAC stands for the kind of American values that you stand for.
Courage, faith, reasoning.
You see, all of the dollars that you're sending to AARP, they're sending their political operatives into Washington, and they are actually working against the values that you hold.
Individual liberty, free speech, freedom of religion.
You're going to find those supported by the people at AMAC.
They fight the good fight.
Benefits are great.
The cause is even greater.
Join AMAC at amac.us/slashbeck.

This is the Glen Beck program.
Ken Cuccinelli is with us.
He's the acting DHS Deputy Secretary, former Attorney General of Virginia.
He is a federalist, meaning he believes the state rights are the most important
and is not looking for any kind of national police work.
But he
now working in Portland and all over the country where these riots are happening.
And as soon as the governor asks for the help from the federal government, they're sending it in.
Welcome again to the program.
Ken, how are you?
Good to be with you, Clenn.
I'm doing well.
Thank you.
I wanted to talk to you about Portland and
this shooting.
I think this was an execution that happened in Portland
and by a really, really bad guy, apparently.
Can you tell us what we know about the alleged shooter?
Well, it is preliminary and it's a messy situation.
The investigation has just begun.
And one of the tough things about this sort of a situation, especially for us Americans, is, you know, we're so antsy and impatient.
We want everything done yesterday.
But to do an investigation correctly does take some time.
But the initial person of interest is clearly someone with a track record.
And
a general way to put it.
And
when you invite and frankly encourage violence for months at a time, what you get is violence.
And you also, and frankly, in some respects,
It took longer than I thought it would.
You invite in other elements, and I don't mean necessarily bad, people who are just fed up, who are so frustrated with the failure of the rule of law that they want to go do it themselves.
And historically, we've called the vigilantes.
But the reality is, America policed itself for the first hundred years of its existence, right?
There were no police.
There was you and me in our neighborhoods.
And that attitude, that cultural element, has never left us completely.
And when people like the mayor of Portland intentionally decline to adequately police their own communities,
you invite more violence in.
Violence begets violence.
It doesn't burn itself out.
And we've seen that all over the country, the obvious comparison being Kenosha, where a somewhat reluctant Governor Evers did bring in National Guard, you know, small amounts at first.
But when he finally put enough people there
after some more violence happened, the President had urged him to do so.
Peace broke out and has remained in Kenosha.
This is the peace through strength concept that Ronald Reagan made famous in international relations simply applied to domestic tranquility.
And that's the goal.
It's the goal of the president.
It's the goal of many people, but apparently not the mayor of Portland or the governor of Oregon to achieve peace.
So let's talk about Wisconsin here for a second.
If you watch that video, and I'm not saying this kid should have gone down there, but that is what people do.
I mean, you know, it's crazy that the left is.
We were just talking about it, right?
So people show up because they don't see the government doing their job and it offends them.
And so they show up to help out their fellow Americans.
Right.
And isn't this
just what happened in Charlottesville?
I mean, the Nazis were there, and the left decided to show up to stop it, and that caused the problem.
And those, of course, were the good guys, according to the media.
Now, somebody shows up and says, hey, you know, we got to at least protect these businesses, et cetera.
He's a bad guy.
But that said, I wouldn't have had my son there.
And I would be really upset if my kids went to that.
Right, right, right, right.
However,
the video looks like it was self-defense, especially with all of the other videos showing this guy really trying to jump him several times.
And the left is acting like
none of that matters.
And they're saying, look, first-degree murder.
Ken,
how are they charging this kid with first-degree murder?
Well, first of all, they did it so quickly that you knew they were just slapping on a charge.
And remember, the standard to charge is much lower than to convict.
I would be astonished if that charge weren't.
dramatically reduced, possibly ultimately dropped, but dramatically reduced before they go forward with it.
Because
in the absence of other information that we haven't seen, and one of the things about having all this public video, it can be a little chaotic, but it does give everybody at least some window into what happened.
And
you clearly, as you've said, Glenn, see this kid and his lawyer
broadcast.
They're going to defend on self-defense.
And you have a right to defend yourself.
The real question, I think, that the whole thing will come down to is the amount of force used.
Was it appropriate under the circumstances?
And I think that's what the whole thing will turn on.
And if a jury finds that it was a legitimate
use of force, meaning the using a gun was appropriate under the circumstances, then he will not end up being convicted of anything under those circumstances.
Trevor Burrus, Jr.: So let's go back to
Portland.
The press is making
this guy who lost his life as
a guy who is inciting violence.
Ken, doesn't it look like an execution?
Is there a defense for
somebody
saying, you know, hey, I don't agree with you, and just even forcefully, I don't agree with you,
but not having a weapon and then somebody just pulling out a gun and just shooting you?
Yeah, see, when you've got,
if it's one-on-one, we don't have nearly the kind of video coverage that we do of the Kenosha situation that you and I were just talking about.
So the facts surrounding what actually happened are much less certain here.
But one of the factors, if this is a one-on-one situation, is an armed person and an unarmed person.
That's with my Captain Obvious cape on, right?
But that's a factor here.
And it also
raises the question of malevolence, to your point.
Was this premeditated in some way?
And
that is still
a long way off from being resolved.
That one's going to be
in many ways murkier and more difficult to investigate, I think, than the Kenosha case in part because there's so much video in the Kenosha situation.
You know, whenever you have video of violence, you need to understand the context and you need to be able to know what happened before and sometimes after.
But at least you have it.
It becomes a baseline to analyze the facts.
And
I don't have the luxury like people outside of
federal government and the state government that's responsible for this of going too far down the road of potential conclusions.
You know,
the
restraint we have to show in talking about this impairs our ability to address the particular situation.
I will say that
the indications where you have two groups facing off like this, and some of them randomly, just, you know, okay, rallies are over, we're walking out.
And some people may go picking fights with others who don't agree with them.
You know,
that is all invited by the kind of path this mayor and governor have encouraged.
They haven't merely allowed it, they've encouraged it.
And
it's really quite extraordinary that
an entire state would allow this to go on like this.
And undoubtedly, Glenn, you saw the governor's, quote, plan, unquote, for resolving the violence in Portland, relying on surrounding law enforcement
sheriff's offices, and they declined to enter.
And one of the most outstandingly written letters that I have seen in a very long time was by one Washington County sheriff nearby, I think it was Washington County,
who said, I cannot, I want peace, I'll help analyze social media, I'll do these other things to help at a distance, but without the political support and without the prosecutions being undertaken and putting I cannot put my deputies in that kind of of danger, in that sort of, and the most interesting phrase was something along the lines of legally questionable situation, meaning you won't protect them.
Right.
You won't protect them.
I have an obligation to my own deputies to not put them in those situations.
And I think that sheriff was absolutely right.
This mayor and this governor have all the tools they have ever needed to bring peace to Portland tomorrow, tomorrow, and yet they refuse to do it.
So this is a decision on their part that somehow the violence is politically preferable to them than
the alternative.
And I've said, you know, with the mayor's response to the president's most recent letter, this mayor hates President Trump more than he loves the people of Portland, that he's responsible to protect, not just represent, but he's the chief of police too, but to protect.
And he is failing intentionally in that obligation.
I know you have a meeting you've got to run to.
Can I get just a couple of short answers on two questions?
One,
the media is now claiming this is the right wing inflaming the protests.
And the second is
your boss, Chad Wolf, said we are targeting and investigating the heads of BLM and TIFA and those who fund them.
Comments on both of those things.
So
on the second one, there are literally hundreds of federal investigations running across the country into the violence around the country, not just Portland and Kenosha.
And inevitably, those will also involve
not just the occurrence of violence, but to the extent funding was required to pull it off, where that came from and what networking might be involved in it.
So that's unfolding as we speak.
Literally hundreds of investigations involved there.
There's nothing too specific to point to.
What was your first explanation?
The first one is the right wing is inflaming the protests.
Right, right, right, right.
This is just the latest narrative.
Look,
when we augmented our federal forces in Portland, you heard all the media say, oh, they caused the violence.
Well, you know, that was a little ridiculous with five weeks of violence and declarations of riots
before we were even seen there.
And Mayor Wheeler on July 3rd saying the violence has to stop.
This is from
the main opponent there.
This is just the latest narrative, Glenn.
And not one of them has survived.
When the we caused the violence failed, they said we made it worse.
It was getting better, we made it worse.
Well, we showed the data that showed it was actually getting worse before we got there.
It's why we came.
Every single narrative of the left, promptly propagated by the subservient mainstream media, has been utterly defeated by that most powerful force in the universe, truth.
truth not only will set you free, but it will also accurately describe what's going on around you.

Ken, thanks so much for being on the program.
I want to tell you about Greg.
He lives in Alabama.
When he turned 53 last year, he thought age came up behind him and hit him over the head with a brick.
The aches and pains, the aches and pains.
It's the age-old story, except he didn't feel like he was in old age yet.
He found himself having a hard time just getting up and down out of a chair, let alone going about his daily routine.
He got desperate.
Then one day, Greg was listening to the program, heard me talking about Relief Factor, decided, you know what, he's right.
I don't have anything to lose except my pain, hopefully.
After a few weeks of taking it faithfully, Greg's aches and pains melted away.
He got his life back.
He doesn't sit in the chair as much anymore.
Relief Factor, not a drug, but it was developed by doctors, and 70% of the people go on to order more, just like me, just like Greg.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
This is the Glenbeck program.
You know, they saw a
quote from Mother Jones about what Joe Biden's plan was and the use of the Progressive Change Institute.
And this is something that Elizabeth Warren is involved with.
And they create a, quote, personnel power map of the executive branch showing which appointed positions have the authority to enact or thwart various policy ideas.
The goal is to have people throughout the government who know how to exercise power.
This is something that should be terrifying to people because this is the shadow government kind of stuff.
And they have researched which positions have that shadow power.
Stu did a great monologue, what was it, last week, on how Joe Biden is no longer a moderate.
With what he's done, the positions of power that he's now appointed people in all around him are thrilling the Uber left.
Yeah, they want to.
I mean, he is, the platform he is pushing right now is not even remotely close to a moderate platform, even when you put it in the standards of like versus Barack Obama's presidency.
He is way,
way to the left of that.
He's to the point of pleasing people like Bernie Sanders and all of these far-left writers and intellectuals who who can't believe that they're getting all these left-wing policies without having to pay the price for going so far left with the electorate.
As of right now, he's seen as this moderate and he's doing all these crazy left things.
But Lunchbucket Joe is really just one of the people.
You're talking about middle-class Joe?
Middle-class Joe, and he's just...
He's not a radical, and he's only using these radicals for support.
And he explicitly, basically made this point yesterday in that speech when he said, look at me.
Do I look like a socialist socialist who's friendly to rioters?
I mean, come on.
That's his argument.
Look at me.
I'm an old white guy.
I'm harmless.
Don't worry about all these crazy policies I've announced.
Don't even look at them.
Just look at me.
I'm socialized.
So why isn't the left all up in arms?
Because they're excited about him.
Yeah, but why?
Look at him.
I mean, come on, man.
Does he look like a socialist?

This is the Glenn Beck program.
So, Joe Biden gave a speech.
He came out of his basement.
He saw his shadow.
So,
there's like six more weeks of summer.
I don't know exactly how that works but uh he wasn't afraid of his own shadow
but apparently he is afraid of his voters because
he's doing a different song and dance now he's got to blame the violence of Portland and Kenosha and Minneapolis shockingly on President Trump I didn't see that one coming.
He had a lot to say,
including, hey, man, look at me.
Do I look like a radical?
Do I look like somebody who likes violence on the streets?
Do I look like a socialist?
What are you saying, Joe?
That socialists can't be white and old?
That radicals can't be white and old?
I looked at history.
A lot of the socialists that killed a lot of people are white and old.
White and old.
White and old.
But
he's not a radical.
Come on, man.
We'll go through that statement with a fine-toothed comb, even though there's not a lot of hair on the top of his head.
Next, in 60 seconds.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Have you been thinking about moving to a different neighborhood or state?
Come on, man.
There's lots of reasons you might want to move during any normal time, but now, when there's this evil, conservative prompting of riots in the streets, come on, man.
You got to get out.
There's at least one good good thing about this atmosphere of chaos.
Low mortgage rates have pushed up the buying power 10% year over year.
The average buyer now can afford to safely spend about $3,200 more without increasing their mortgage payment.
I'm asking you, I'm begging you, please don't do it.
Save that 10%.

So, right.
So, so, Stu, I mean, I, I, if
Bernie Sanders, come on, man.
You say he's a radical.
He's not.
Does he look like a radical?
Well, Bernie Sanders does look like a radical.
I mean, I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Confuse these two.
Joe Biden.
Come on, man.
You wouldn't think it would be easy to confuse those two, but it's a lot easier than I think a lot of people recognize because people are trying to make out Biden to be this moderate.
And running to the right of Bernie Sanders does not make you a moderate.
Okay.
Oh, is he running to the right of Bernie Sanders?
Well, he is a
little that way, but he hasn't really been there for quite some time.
Yeah, I mean, look, is Biden a moderate?
You know, like, if you compare him to that field, sometimes people might call him a moderate, right?
Because you had people like Bernie Sanders, like Bill de Blasio, people who like have embraced communism throughout their lives, are in that field.
So he looks a little more conservative.
You keep using that word moderate.
I do not think it means what you think it means.
If you're comparing him to Karl Marx, and he's like, I'm not fully there, that's still not a moderate.
It's like saying
Fast and and Furious Tokyo Drift is a better film than Too Fast Too Furious.
Right.
Now, technically, on Rotten Tomatoes, Tokyo Drift has 37%.
Right.
And Too Fast, Too Furious has 36%.
Well, it might be.
I don't know.
It's a notable distinction.
Yeah, you might say that it's a better film, but it's...
It's not a good movie.
It's not winning an Oscar.
Right.
When you say, you know that Tokyo Drift, that's pretty good.
No, if you're comparing it to the others, yes, but it's not good in any other category.
What I thought was interesting is
we keep saying he's not a moderate.
Glenn Beck says he's not a moderate.
Who cares what Glenn Beck says?
He's some evil conservative guy, right?
Right, right.
What is the left saying about Joe Biden?
Are they angry that he's too moderate?
Is that their current position?
Because they're out on the streets burning things down.
They don't seem moderate.
No.
So they got to hate him.
Here we go.
This is, let me just give you a few examples.
The Sunrise movement are you familiar with the sunrise movement i'm not sunrise movement a far-left climate group uh they are pushing for the green new deal they've endorsed bernie sanders uh for president during the primary rashida tlaib corey bush and elon omar for congress among others okay okay so that's they're moderate yeah they're moderate they were actually so pissed off at nancy pelosi for not being liberal enough that they organized a sit-in protest to push the green new deal with alexandria yicasio-cortez wow would they be pleased with a a moderate?
I don't think they would.
So they don't like the ever-so-moderate Joe Biden.
You'd think so.
However, they tweeted in 2017, Bernie Sanders introduced legislation for 100%
clean energy by 2050.
Wow.
That Joe Biden is now backing 100% clean electricity by 2035
is a very big deal and a huge victory for the Green New Deal movement.
Sunrise movement, be proud and let's keep pushing.
So 2035.
So he is, he's further down the road than
Sanders.
At least as far as electricity goes,
which is pretty amazing.
Well, but he's probably more science-minded, so he can come up with those things faster.
Sure, that's yeah, because Joe Biden screams scientific competence.
He does.
He really does.
How about Peter Beinhardt in the Atlantic?
He wrote a piece entitled, Biden Goes Big Without Sounding Like It.
Perceived as a Moderate.
Wait, wait.
What is a moderate?
He's perceived as a moderate.
He's perceived as a moderate.
He has embraced strikingly progressive goals without facing any political backlash.
I wonder why.
It's a quote.
Despite embracing an agenda that is further to the left that of any Democratic nominee in decades, he's avoided the specific policy proposals and catchphrases that Republicans find easiest to attack.
As a result, he appears more centrist than he actually is.
Okay, again, this is not right-wingers saying this.
This is people in the mainstream and on the left.
So, any Democratic nominee in decades?
Decades.
So, that would not include Barack Obama.
No.
Who would be more left
than Barack Obama?
I would have to say FDR or Woodrow Wilson.
There was one suggestion, I believe, in here that we'll hear of McGovern.
Was that
nominee?
Yeah, McGovern.
He was good.
He was really good.
He did well in this country.
He did.
He did really well.
He was good.
Here's something from the 538 Politics Podcast.
Whatever Bernie can do to push Biden to the left, however far that goes, tack on another like 50 miles to the left based on the pandemic and the need to respond to it and all its effects, right?
Like we're in a moment where Republicans in Congress are debating not whether or not to take huge governmental action, but like how how huge that action should be.
If a Biden administration happens, you have to imagine it would happen in a context where even by the standards of four years ago, it is taking really ambitious leftist policy positions in response to the pandemic because the pandemic has shifted the Overton window so much, right?
In a sense, we're saying that the critique that Trump has tried to launch at the Biden campaign, there's real truth to it.
I guess it's going to be frustrating for them that through the strength of Biden's own image or character, people don't see him that way.
By the way, I could listen to that first guy for hours.
He was great.
But I mean, think about that.
They're admitting the attack that we keep saying, hey, he's this big leftist.
The one they keep saying he's lying about.
Right.
It's true.
It's just true.
Right.
How about Paul Waldman, the Washington Post?
His piece, how Joe Biden is moving left while still being seen as a moderate.
Quote, something extraordinary is happening.
Biden is getting more progressive in substance, yet it has done nothing to change his image as a moderate.
There's a kind of shift we expect from presidential candidates.
In the primaries, they appeal to their party with pledges of ideological fealty.
Then, when the nomination is secured during the general election, they head back to the center.
Biden, however, is doing the opposite in substance, if not in rhetoric.
Jonathan Shait, New York Magazine, quote: Joe Biden's platform is more progressive than you think.
He says, the truth is that Biden has a domestic agenda that, while nowhere near as radical as the Bernie Sanders platform, is almost certainly to the left of anything even a Democratic-run Congress would pass.
Okay, so sorry, let's make my eyes
so bad.
Okay, so
what they're saying here
is he's not a moderate.
He's not.
He's not a moderate.
And in fact, what they're saying here is, and I'm trying to figure out who's being played, because perhaps you could say, no, he really is.
I know this isn't true, but no, he's really not meaning any of this stuff.
And so now the press and the leftists in the press are covering for him.
But that's not possible because the people in the street will burn their houses down.
You know what I mean?
You don't dupe those people.
No.
And I think, you know, that critique, I think, largely makes sense in the context of a primary, right?
Joe Biden's coming out with these left-wing proposals, and okay,
he's pleasing the party, right?
He's pleasing the activists that are voting in a primary.
Going back to the general election, the fact that he's going more liberal is, I think, very well encapsulated by that 538 clip where they're saying he's seen the opportunity that COVID is providing
and he said, screw it.
No need to move TAC back to the center, go as far left as we can.
We'll just, we'll have moderate tone in our rhetoric, but our policies can be as left-wing as we have ever dreamed they could be.
So dangerous.
So dangerous.
Ellen Nielsen and Vox.
Biden now envisions a much larger role for government in his administration if he wins than past Democratic presidents have been comfortable with.
More radical than Barack Obama would be comfortable with?
Incredible.
Another from Vox.
Progressives see a list of ideas that goes far beyond, goes beyond a status quo and goes beyond where Biden had campaigned in the primary.
That's from Faeez Shakir, Sanders presidential campaign manager in 2020.
Holy cow.
And that guy is a radical of radicals.
He's a dangerous radical.
Yeah.
I would agree with that analysis.
Wow.
Madaglesius and Vox.
It's the most progressive platform of any Democratic nominee in the modern history of the party, said Walid Shaheed, communications director for the Justice Democrats.
Now, you remember, Glenn,
the Justice Democrats.
They are the ones that recruited AOC
to run.
They are the radical left-wing AOC branch of the party.
You're not saying Walid Shaheed is a radical, too, are you?
Oh, no, he's a moderate.
He's a moderate.
He just sees us within the Democrats, the Justice Democrats.
Okay, good.
That's pretty amazing.
How about Ezra Klein, founder of Vox?
He writes, by the standards of the Democratic Party in 2008, the moderates look like leftists.
Michael A.
Cohen, he's an Obama-era Democratic speechwriter.
He writes, it's precisely because Biden is seen as a pragmatic moderate and not a controversial liberal that he was able to capture the nomination.
But since then, Biden has moved increasingly leftward.
Washington Post, the Democratic policy community has dramatically shifted left.
A new generation of economists is legitimizing ideas once considered verboten in establishment debates.
I just love the word verboten.
Oh, yeah, no, I love it.
I love it, especially coming from the left.
Yeah.
You know,
let's throw in a good, I don't know,
German kind of something that the Nazis kind of, you know, spread around the world.
Over in the Atlantic, once again, quote, Biden has won on a social democratic policy program that, while sharing his general view of the world, is significantly bolder than Barack Obama's.
Here's Nate Silver from the 538 podcast.
Objectively, Biden has the most left-wing platform since McGovern.
Now, it is not as far left, to be sure, as Elizabeth Warren's platform would have been, or Bernie Sanders's.
But it's pretty far left relative to Obama's, even on some issues.
But people think of Biden as this kind of old, safe Uncle Joe white male, right?
And so they don't see him as being radical.
So, yeah, look, in some ways, the kind of troach and horse critique is
one of the smarter critiques that people can try.
As he was talking, I was like,
he's describing a Trojan horse, which didn't end well for the people of Troy.
I don't know.
I don't know if you got that.
No, and I think of another Uncle Joe when I think of an old white socialist, right?
His last name was Stalin.
This is not good.
This is not good.
Mother Jones, surely they're pissed off at this moderate candidate, right?
The Progressive Change Institute, an affiliate of the Warren-Aligned Progressive Change Campaign Committee, has set about creating a personal power map of the executive branch showing which appointed positions have the authority to enact or thwart various policy ideas.
The goal is to have people throughout the federal government who know how to exercise power, says Stephanie Taylor.
That is co-founder.
That is, that's saying we have mapped out the deep state, And no matter what is said or passed,
we know where the levers really are.
That should terrify
every American.
They are prepared for what is about to happen.
Oh, my gosh.
Here's Jon Favreau, a former Obama speechwriter, well known for the Pod Save America podcast.
If that's where the Overton window has moved, then congratulations to all the progressive activists because you have moved the s out of that window that is supporting the Green New Deal.
And basically, Medicare for all is now moderate and centrist.
Fantastic.
I'll take it.
They're laughing about it.
They're laughing at this.
And the media is in on it.
Obviously, it's the only reason this is working is the entire media keeps saying moderate, moderate, moderate, moderate, moderate, moderate, as he is implementing a policy program that is thrilling this group of people.
In fact, including Bernie Sanders himself.
You'd think, surely Bernie, who ran against Joe, could not possibly be happy about this development.
Here is Bernie Sanders.
If those task force proposals are implemented, you know what?
Joe Biden will become the most progressive president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
And that at this moment is what we need.
Because remember, Franklin didn't leave and then all of those policies go away.
Franklin changed fundamentally the way America worked, and we never went back.
It's like Barack Obama with Obamacare.
We're not going back.
They're going to make it worse.
So if you are building on FDR and you're coming in and you are far more progressive than anybody else,
I don't know how
you're described as a moderate.
I'm trying to figure out how the fundamental transformation of the United States of America from a republic to a democracy,
from a
constitutional republic to some sort of autocratic system
is moderate, but they love it.

All right, I'll talk to you about Temp and Toss.
This is the first paper thermometer strip available for retail.
There's no Mylar, there's no battery.
Everything is assembled by adults with disabilities, so getting everybody in the community is winning with this.
It is
something that was developed by two moms, Shelly Heller and April Pollock.
They got together.
They wanted to launch their own business and create a product that would be really easy for moms to take the temperature of infants.
Something you didn't have to, you know, hold in their mouth or shove in other places.
And it was Tempentos.
And you just, it's just like this little sticker that you just kind of stick on the forehead, and it immediately tells the temperature.
So now, when COVID happened, you need tools that will keep your employees safe and know that everybody doesn't have a temperature.
This is, they've done some studies.
This is the one that is the most accurate and the most consistent.
It's called Tempentos.
Now,
you can get it for your home.
You just go to CVS or whatever and just look for Tempentos.
But they also are making this available for businesses, and you can buy them by bulk and save a lot of money.
I want you to go and check this out, especially if you're a business and you're looking to open up and you've got a lot of people coming in and out.
It's really easy.

Oh, yeah.
So, did you hear
the mayor of Philadelphia was going out to eat in restaurants?
Of course, in Philadelphia, you can't go out to eat in restaurants.
How was the mayor then going out to?
He just went to another place where you can, and he said, No, I just know this area is safe.
This area is safe.
Oh, that one's
safe from the virus?
He's now cordoned off.
The restaurants in his city are not safe, but he knows where the safe restaurants are.
Wow.
We need to get in touch with this guy because if he can identify the safe places, we can open up the economy really easily.
Right.
Also, the stars that are attending the video music awards for MTV,
they don't have to worry about the quarantine mandate.
They don't?
No.
why not?
Why wouldn't they be because they're going to the video music awards?
And is there a cure?
Video
they're going to be safe.
They just know that all these people coming in from all over the world to attend the video music award, you're not going there if you have a fever, you know.
So,
and you couldn't be a carrier, so they're safe.
So, we, the VMAs, are open in New York.
This is the Glenn Bent program.
All right.
Uh, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It's
RekTech.
We made
ribs on Sunday.
Started in the morning.
And, oh my gosh.
Stu would make you eat meat again just smelling them.
We make them on RekTech.
We actually got the recipe from the social media group site for RekTech.
And I have to tell you, I
looked at the recipe and I'm like, I don't think I want to make them this way.
This does not look good.
We made them with French's mustard and some rub.
And I thought, I don't like the taste of mustard and I'm not going to put that on.
But it was explained in the recipe that it has vinegar.
My wife, she took charge.
She said, we're doing it this way.
We did.
It was unbelievable, unbelievable.
When you cook on RekTech and you cook anything, you're taking your grilling and your smoking experience to the next level.

Hello and welcome.
This is the Glenbeck program.
Well, the president
is on his way now to Wisconsin, even though the governor and the mayor is like, please don't go.
Please don't come.
We'll see what happens.
But why is he?
He's on the tarmac now, just getting ready to leave.
And I'm looking at the screen and he's taking the 727, which is normally Air Force 2.
Air Force 1 is always what the president takes.
And it could be a biplane.
If he's in it, it's Air Force One.
But
why is he taking the 727?
We've got like eight of those things that we paid for.
Don't tell me they're all in the shop.
Oil change.
Yeah, well, I mean, a special, so they put them all in at the same time.
I don't see Donald Trump as the guy who's like, you know what, let's take the small one.
Give me the one with Trump on the side.
I like the little, super little one.
Let's just kind of go in incognito, you know?
I think Jiffy Lube had a bulk discount this week, so they just put them all in at the same time.
All the Air Force.
That's what it is?
Yeah.
Okay.
Maybe he's landing in a smaller airport, which I can't imagine, that a 727.
Well, Kenosha, though.
Yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe.
It's probably not a huge airport.
All right.
Let's go over
Joe Biden yesterday talking about...
Donald Trump is just stoking the fires.
That's all he's doing.
He's just stoking the fires.
We have that cut.
Can we play that, please?
In times as challenging as these.
I believe there's only one way forward okay stop no that this one I want the stoking the fires from yesterday's speech if we have it
Biden blames Trump for the
the
the violence do you have that that's on page one Trump pence are running on this and I find it fascinating quote you won't be safe in Joe Biden's America and what's their proof The violence we're seeing in Donald Trump's America.
These are not images of some imagined Joe Biden America in the future.
These are images of Donald Trump's America today.
Okay, stop.
This is, no, but Joe, you're missing that this is the Joe Biden administration of the past.
You know, when you were in, when you were in with Barack Obama, you remember Ferguson?
Yeah, because you're responsible now for every single thing that happens in the country as president.
Even when it's the opposing party running the city and doing the opposite of what you're asking, you're still
responsible for the business.
He can't stop stop it unless he goes against the Constitution.
Right.
He's offering federal help to all of these cities and they're not taking it.
Right.
He can't just force help on those cities.
Nor should he.
It would be a dictatorship.
No, you don't want that.
It's not our system.
Correct.
It is a federalist system, which means the state overrules the Fed when it comes to this.
You cannot
say, no, we don't want troops in here as a governor and have the government send in troops.
It's against the Constitution.
And for all the accusations of Trump being this dictator.
Yeah, I know this would be the time.
There's been times where the American people have been begging for him to send in federal help, and he hasn't done it because, you know, we have a system of government he's respecting.
So this was the message that they gave during the convention, the DNC.
They never once.
Talked about the violence getting out of control.
They never once talked about anything about the protest other than it's peaceful.
But never once did they condemn it.
And then when they started to see the polls with people turning, then they decided we have to change.
But I just want to remind you: first of all, this is how stupid they think their own voters are.
That their own voters will buy into this.
After months and months and months of hearing how peaceful this was and everything else, that we're supposed to now believe that
somehow or another, you were for peace and you haven't caused any turmoil at all or supported turmoil.
I want you to listen first of what Joe Biden said, that he's just, they're uniters and they want to bring everybody together.
Is that really the message that they've been doing in their actions?
Listen.
As challenging as these.
I believe there's only one way forward.
A united America.
A united America.
United in our pursuit of a more perfect union.
You could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables.
There's enough.
You can't trust this president.
Do what's right for this country.
He's impeached forever, no matter what he says or whatever headlines he wants to carry around.
You're impeached forever.
We have a president who does not believe in democracy.
I believe in a representative.
A president who does not believe in our Constitution.
He is someone who gives, who empowers white supremacists.
So he's a white supremacist.
And who condones their behavior in an attempt to dismantle our postal service out of a selfish desire.
If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump and you ain't black.
Whoa.
Now remember,
these are the people that are fully behind things like...
Here's one of the college directors from the,
she's a staff psychologist at Pacific University
and she has a webinar rising from the margins and in it she says every white person in the country is racist so you you want to unite except for all the white people
that that's that's that's Wallace man
that's come on man that's Wallace Except you've just replaced black with white.
It's the same kind of rhetoric that we had from the racist Democrats in the 1960s that were not, that was not uniting, not uniting.
So all last week they were saying, we've got to unite, we've got to unite, we've got to unite, and dismissing the riots as peaceful.
Now the poll numbers come out, and now they have to say, oh, no, no, no, but no, no, no.
No, we're against those things.
It's Trump just stirring those things up.
That's what's happening here They
it's Trump listen
I I I Just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country and maybe there will be people need to start taking to the streets.
This is a dictator.
You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives.
Enemies of the state.
Show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.
Wait a minute.
Do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless father.
They go low, we kick.
How do you resist the temptation to run up and bring her neck?
Biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right.
I thought he should have punched him in the face.
I said, Even if you lost, he insulted your wife.
He came down the escalator and called Mexicans rapists and murders.
He said, well, what do you think I should have done?
I said, I think you should have punched him in the face and then gotten out of the race.
You would have been a hero.
I'd like to punch him in the face.
I said, if we were in high school, I'd take you behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.
Punch some people in the face.
When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?
They're still gonna have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.
That's a fact.
Look, as his character is stabbed to death.
Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?
That's it right there.
I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
A Missouri state senator is under investigation by the Secret Service after saying she hopes President Trump is assassinated.
I will go and take Trump out tonight.
And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd.
And you push back on them.
And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere.
And sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system and our honoring our Constitution are right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
They're not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election Day.
And that should be, everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't, they're not going to let up, and they should not.
If you think we're rallying now, you ain't seen nothing yet.
So who is it that's been stirring people up?
And I have to tell you, the good good news is they're only having to do this because the Tea Party and the right
have been so careful to be peaceful.
If we wouldn't have been peaceful, they just would have responded.
And they are better at riots and burning things down.
And it would have been blamed on us.
But because for the last 15 years,
we have been patient and quiet and peaceful, and we brought our kids to rallies, not Molotov cocktails.
They've had to ramp their side up.
They've had to spend millions of dollars helping them.
And you know what?
It's absolutely right.
What
Martin Luther King said is right.
What the progressives knew in the early 1900s was right.
Omar Wazzo, he
was a
guy who studied the historic impacts of peaceful protests by the left.
And if there's peaceful protests by the left, like Martin Luther King, it will help Democrats by 2 to 3 percent.
But violent pro-Democrat demonstrations help Republicans 2 to 8%.
Now, this should actually play even a bigger role because now we can see not just what people are feeding us, we can see on social media exactly what's going on and we can judge for ourselves.
They are expecting that you don't know the truth.
And the media is taking such a hard line because they haven't learned a damn thing.
They still think that they control the minds of people.
And quite honestly, if we are not careful, the new media will control the minds of people.
You know, the Russians did make an effort to hack our election
and it is child's play what they did compared to the digital interference from our own tech giants.
Surveillance, censorship, manipulation, these are the tools that Russia wished they had.
And all three of them are
well underway at Facebook and Google.
Let's not forget that on the day after the election, the Google people stood together and they cried and said, we have to find ways to not let this happen again.
Well, they have found ways.
The left is trying to pretend that the rioting in our city is not their fault.
They're trying to paint BLM not as a Marxist, insurrectionalist, revolutionary movement that it is, but a mostful peaceful, mostly peaceful group of just protesters.
And the left has tapped their most powerful ally to pull the wool over your eyes.
You don't know that big tech is manipulating you.
Over the weekend, Twitter posts showed how a person started typing BLM is into the search bar.
It auto-filled multiple suggestions like BLM is a Marxist organization, BLM is Marxist Train, BLM is Marxist Movement, BLM is funded by, and several others.
But just a little while later, all of those disappeared.
Now go to your computer and type in BLM is.
BLM is Israel.
Really?
BLM Israel?

So anyone who tells you that buying or selling a house isn't a team effort doesn't have any idea of what they're doing about buying or selling a a house, period.
It's one of the things that I learned over years of working with some of the best real estate agents in the country on a project that they were doing, and I was a spokesperson for.
When you get somebody who can come to your house and you're wanting to put up on the market, look around,
see if he can pull five numbers out of his or her phone and say, okay, this is what we're going to do, and here are the people you should call to do it.
When that person has the numbers of somebody that can refinish your floors or repaint or replant or whatever it is,
if they can't do it, you have a regular run of the mill.
But if they have numbers at their fingertips that they've used before and they know they can get this thing done quickly, you've got something special.
When you're trying to buy a home, you have to have an agent who can go into the lion's den with the sellers in the bank and can negotiate aggressively to get the best deal possible.
That's when you know you have somebody special on the buying end.
The real estate agents from Real Estate Agents I Trust are something special.
I don't want you to take my word for it.
I want you to interview yourself.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
We were just talking off air.
Stu is doing a show tonight on taking on Jim Gaffigan, who we both really like, and we like personally as well.
Oh, yeah.
And we know him, and
I just don't know what he's doing other than
feeling better, maybe personally, getting things off his chest and saying things he wants to, but
it's not going to help him.
Of course, he has the right to do that.
Of course, say whatever he wants.
Of course, you know, the question is, if your actual goal is not to make yourself feel good but instead to influence people to an issue or or an opinion you believe to be important it's clear that this doesn't work this approach of screaming at your audience with obscenities uh is not something that actually affects anyone no one is pushed to your side now they may be more ingrained in their own side a Trump supporter might see a rant by Jim Gaffigan where he's calling them basically effing morons they may see that as a place as a reason to be like more defensive of Trump and more defensive of their position, but they're certainly not going to be less.
They're certainly not going to go to your side of the argument.
They're not going to see the light because you're yelling at them.
No.
This does not work.
And especially somebody like Gaffigan.
If Gaffigan would have just been like, like he's always been, look, I disagree with you, but it's a free country.
And then just calmly said, I don't agree with them.
I worry about Donald Trump.
He could have made inroads.
I mean, I'm glad he didn't, but he could have made inroads, especially if he was funny about it and self-deprecating.
But, and I know this from experience: the minute you get onto your high horse and you start saying, you're wrong, you're stupid, you lose.
You lose.
And I hate to see Jim Geffigan hurt himself like this for no reason whatsoever.
