Let's talk a little bit about rough greens and how it affects our dogs.

Yeah, Miles is our dog.

He's 16 years old, loves the rough greens.

He dives right in.

Usually he's a hesitant eater, but not with rough greens.

He goes right in.

And I mean, look, for Miles at this point, energy is sleeping 22 hours instead of 23.

But he is noticeably different.

And our dog Piper loves this stuff as well.

It is so hard, isn't it?

I mean, I was looking at Uno the other day, and I saw some pictures of him when he was younger.

And I'm like, oh my gosh, we're going to have to go through this again.

It's so hard to lose these dogs.

We love them so much.

You're the same way.

Give them the best stuff that will help them live a longer life.

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

This is the Glen Beck Program.

Well, hello, America, from Dallas.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

We're glad you're here.

We want to talk to you about this scandal with the post office.

Oh, my gosh, Stu, we're never going to have any mail.

There's no ballots that are going to be sent.

There's no ballots that will even come in.

Donald Trump.

That's all you have to say.

Yeah.

That's it.

That's all you have to say.

It seems as though that is all you have to say.

They're calling Congress back in.

They couldn't call Congress back in.

It was way too dangerous to call them in to vote on the trillions of dollars of spending.

But

this time, yeah, they all got to come back because, well,

Donald Trump.

We begin there in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right, let me tell you about blinds.com.

I don't think you, I don't think any of us realize until we change them how important blinds or shades or shutters, drapes, whatever, good window coverings, how much they make a difference to the room until you change them.

Or and somebody says something like, did werewolves jump through your blinds?

Nah, it's just the kids.

Anyway, this summer, Strike While the Iron is

and everything else, really super hot.

Did you see the...

100, I think it was 130 degrees in Death Valley.

130, yeah.

And they said, it's not the record, but the record probably wasn't right.

They probably didn't have the temperature right.

It's like, well, wait a minute.

Aren't you guys telling us all about how global warming, I thought you knew all these temperatures for sure.

Now the one temperature that's a record you think they got wrong?

All right, so you're getting your kids ready for school, and you happen to be in Arizona, and you're so excited.

I mean, you're so sad to see your kids leave the house and go to school.

Am I right, Stu?

Am I right?

Oh,

very depressing.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, they got to go to school and

they won't be here at the house all day.

Oh,

then you find out last night that your teachers have phoned in

a sick day

there's a sick out in arizona there all the teachers are like no we

we just think that this is too dangerous to bring the kids in and there's some real safety concerns and so we're not gonna bring the kids

this is nothing to do with the kids this is really nothing to do with the kids really doesn't no it's like that with the voting they're like well we have to have mail-in voting so everyone can go and then they gather together to protest it right and in with no social distancing right none of this means it's all lies like none of this is actually real the post office stuff the the the the teacher stuff like i mean again You should be scared of a global pandemic, especially if you're older and you're, you know, if you, there's a reason for some of these teachers to be a little concerned.

And some of those teachers should be able to stay home.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, the teachers should be able to say,

I'm in a high-risk

category.

This is ridiculous.

It's really ridiculous.

The coordinated union nonsense is union nonsense.

Oh, just hate it.

So

they're acutely aware of how polarizing this issue is and how challenging these ongoing developments are for the entire community.

But

unions are going to work closely to make sure that everything is

good.

Really?

Man, it just, I can't take the politicization of everything.

Everything.

Yeah, it really is.

It's worse than ever, right?

Right at this second, too, isn't it?

Well, no, that was just a second ago.

I think it's worse.

Now it's worse right now.

Because it's things that,

I mean, the post office.

I mean, the post office has been, when it comes to politics, everyone kind of realizing, it doesn't doesn't really work all that well.

But, you know,

because they lose lots of money and it's not a great business.

But, you know, generally speaking, you put your mail out there.

It gets to the place that it's supposed to go.

You'd get the occasional libertarian sort of pushback on whether we should fund it at all.

And then that's basically been it for how long?

100 years.

Now it's all of a sudden so concerning that they have to come back and vote on it in a more urgent sense than multiple trillion dollars they let out go out the the door a couple months ago.

Let me tell you, here's let me play for you the audio of Chuck Schumer.

Trump is undermining our post office.

He says he wants to slow down the mail to hurt the elections and make people doubt the results of the election.

That's not what he said.

It's not even a police officer.

He's worried he's going to lose.

It doesn't matter.

Our elections are sacred, and to do this is disgraceful.

The postal system is well loved by America.

91% of America approves of the postal system.

Which gives me pause.

But it's now being 100% undermined by

Postmaster General.

Political hack appointee.

Hey, stop.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

Here is Barack Obama on the post office.

If you think about it,

UPS and FedEx are doing just fine.

Right?

No, they are.

I mean, it's the post office that's that's always having problems.

Ah.

So we have President Obama saying that, but, you know, he fixed.

Oh, no, he didn't fix it.

No, he didn't fix it.

So Donald Trump brings somebody in to fix the post office, somebody who's well qualified to fix the post office.

The moving of the sorting machines and the shutting down, that happens all the time in the post office.

And most of it is not going to happen before the election.

They're announcing it it now and saying we're doing these things, blah, blah, blah.

After the election.

And even if it is happening before the election, it's happening in a way where it always goes on.

This always goes on.

They say that ballots are something like 2% of the mail in that time period, which I think the mail,

the U.S.

Postal Service can handle that.

There's all these rumors about, well, they've locked.

They've locked postal

boxes in the mailboxes for the Postal Service.

It's like, well, that happened because people were stealing mail.

It had happened months ago.

Go to the other big complaint they have is this ridiculous thing about they're removing mailboxes from around these cities.

It's like, well, when you read what they're doing, they're removing them from where there are multiple next to each other.

So like there's five next to each other and they're taking one or two out.

So there's only three or four left.

I don't think that's going to overturn the election.

I think it'd be wrong.

I think it is.

I think it is.

Yeah.

Nancy Nancy Pelosi would not just, I mean, she was so concerned she could not call Congress back into session because of COVID.

Well, as I understand, COVID is worse than it's ever been.

No, it's not.

No, it's worse than it's ever been.

It's not.

No, we're the worst in the world, Stu.

No, no, no.

No, there's no one that will even take our passports now and let people in because we are the worst.

Yeah, that's not true.

It's the most dangerous.

That's not true.

Ever.

No.

Okay, okay.

So she knows this, and that's why she didn't bring the post, you know, the Congress back.

But now, at this very dangerous time, when all of them could die from COVID.

This is the time they need it back.

And come on.

We just outlined why the Postal Service has a 91% approval rating because people didn't think of it as political.

That's why it had a approval rating of 91%.

People just thought of it as like a

thing down the street.

They never thought of it as part of the federal government.

So when you test it against other federal government agencies, they think they all suck and they don't think about the Postal Service that way.

Keep doing this, and they will.

Yep.

You'll have instead of a 91% approval rating, you'll have a 50% approval rating pretty quickly if you keep doing this.

But again, if they can get one extra percent, one extra little grab at power, they will destroy anything they have to in their way.

So I don't want to compare the Postal Service to other agencies in the federal government.

Why don't they do a poll on the Postal Service versus UPS, Federal Express, you know, all the other alternatives?

Because I'm doubting that the UPS or USPS comes out number one.

Well, plus, it's subsidized so heavily.

So, yes, you can send packages cheaper at times with the Postal Service.

Yeah, you can.

That's because you're already paying for it another way.

I know.

It's crazy.

Nobody thinks of it that way.

No one adds that into their package costs.

But when it's losing billions and billions of dollars, it's not just going into thin air.

You're paying for it.

So we got that going for us.

And on Wednesday, we're going to be doing

a special on

voter fraud and stealing of the election and this

postmaster general garbage.

You know, they're threatening him with jail if he doesn't show up to testify.

Can you imagine?

I mean,

the president calls you and says, Stu,

we've got to have you as the executive producer in charge of America.

You're going to make sure that everything is just looking good and running right.

Is there an amount of money

or an amount of national pride that would make you say, I got to do that.

Well, it sounds like a fun job right now.

I mean, you wouldn't take anything, any job.

Your life is destroyed.

And what's crazy is these public servants that are called up, most of them are like 60, 65.

They're being called up.

They're at the end of their, they could be on a golf course and they're like, you know what?

No, I think the Postal Service I could actually, I could actually do a number on, I could actually help.

So they go in for what?

To get destroyed, probably for no reason.

For no reason.

Again, like by these career politicians who are almost all of them corrupt.

And, you know, the guy who's ahead of the post office, though, oh, he's a political appointee.

First of all,

that's been common throughout the years.

That happens a lot.

You're not picking your opponents to go run it.

You're picking people who like you, which is typical in the government.

But he said they're going to have no problem with this.

Right.

You know, he's not saying that they're going to lose power.

That's exactly what he's saying.

That's exactly what he would say.

There you go.

It's exactly what he would say.

I mean, and then let me tell you this.

You tell me that Donald Trump doesn't want to fix the election.

Have you heard now that national elections are being delayed by four weeks because of coronavirus?

Unbelievable.

I mean, in New Zealand, but that's Donald Trump.

He's even trying to fix the elections in New Zealand because they wouldn't have done that.

Sure, it's the most dangerous pandemic, and we're all going to die, and our hair is on fire right now.

And oh my gosh, I should be quarantined for the rest of my life.

It's in New Zealand that they're doing this.

Can you imagine if Donald Trump and his administration would say

CDC has told us that we should delay?

Well, he, I mean, he did, of course, suggest this on Twitter.

And they were very upset about it.

Now they're praising New Zealand because New Zealand is acting as as an authoritarian government over its people and saying, yes, we have, you know, it started with, I think, four cases, but I think it got to 13 before they actually shut things down.

And they're delaying elections because of 13 cases.

Now, Donald Trump, they keep acting when he says stuff like that, they are very upset about it.

And as am I.

I don't want our elections delayed.

I don't either.

But like, I don't understand how you can praise New Zealand for their sensible, well-measured response to this.

It's because you like her, because she's doing the things that you want, and you don't like Trump.

And

none of this stuff is honest.

That's what the most frustrating part about it is.

None of this is honest.

What Schumer just said.

Donald Trump said he wants to slow down.

No, he didn't.

You wouldn't pass the spending bill.

You wouldn't pass the stimulus.

In there was money for the post office.

So when you don't, you, the Democrats, don't get together to pass it, you then come out and say, he's not spending the money that it needs to be taken for the boss.

No, it's your fault.

It's your fault.

And what did he say?

He said, fine, rubbing their nose into it.

Fine.

Well, I guess if you don't have that money for the post office, because you wouldn't vote for it, you wouldn't pass the stimulus.

Well, that's good for me.

And do you remember, too, when Republicans would have, there'd be a big spending bill that would help working families.

Oh, yeah.

And the Republicans would be like, well, we really don't want to.

There's $2 trillion in abortions, and some of them seem to be forced abortions.

We don't abortion party.

I don't even know what that is.

Are you having a celebration?

It's all in there.

And the Republicans would say, well, we're not going to pass it with that in there.

And be like, you are holding up helping working families for your special interest groups and right-wing religious nonsense.

Did you see this puppy dog?

This puppy dog will be dead by the end of the week because of you.

Right.

And now we have a situation where

millions of people, for no, nobody's fault is are coming off of a pandemic-related unemployment and are going to lose the money that was going to them.

Thousands and thousands of businesses that are barely holding things together are going to go without this money after the government told them they had to close down.

This giant spending bill is

everyone's talking about it's going to eventually be a reality, but it's all going to happen after these people go out of business.

I know.

And so they're not coming back to help them.

They're coming back to help the freaking post office.

Which will never go out of business until the United States goes out of business.

All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It's Rough Greens.

Now, if I handed you a plate of food, and before you took the first bite, I said, oh, by the way, I made sure to completely sterilize that so it's all dead.

There's no nutritional value in it really at all.

There's nothing.

Are you going to eat it?

Well, I mean, I eat Cheetos, so of course I'm going to eat it.

But most people probably would say, no.

Why are we doing this to our animals?

Why are we doing this to our dogs?

Kibble dog food is dead food.

It's missing key nutrients your dogs need.

So, rough greens, it's a supplement.

It's not a dog food.

You put this on your dog's food, and it contains all of the nutrients your dogs need, which get cooked out of the kibble food when it's being made.

Probiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, omega oils.

These are just some of the things that your dog needs to live a healthier lifestyle.

And they're all things that are in Rough Greens.

$14.95.

You'll see the difference in your dog in 14 days or less.

10 seconds, station ID.

And you know what really kills me is nobody is talking about

the left and Google and YouTube and Twitter.

They just don't see any problem.

That's a conspiracy theory.

That's a conspiracy theory

that they're going to somehow affect the election.

We know that they can swing the election by four to six points.

Robert, what's his name?

Dr.

what's his name?

Epstein.

He says that they could swing it up to 10 points.

Nobody seems to care about that.

And why?

Because they don't care about actual fair elections.

They don't care about it.

They're a party designed to make sure that we don't have them.

They will do anything they can.

And, of course, let's also be clear: whenever they lose, they all say

it wasn't a valid election.

Oh, they're going to say that.

They're going to say it again.

I mean, they say it every time they lose.

Stacey Abrams, obviously, we just saw in Georgia, has been running around the country telling everybody that she's basically the governor of Georgia, which she is not.

But, I mean, go back.

Al Gore, obviously, we all know that story.

Hillary Clinton has been running around the country lately saying how all these things were taken from her and it was all because of Russia and all of these other BS reasons.

Even John Kerry, people forget about this, but John Kerry said that he lost Ohio because, well, there was people, it was very shady activity.

People were putting

pamphlets all around Ohio saying that Democrats voted on Wednesday, which is obviously wrong to do.

Well, we didn't print pamphlets.

No, we didn't.

We just had the big wafflehead float say that.

Right.

It was a wafflehead float that went down the middle of the road with giant speakers saying Democrats vote on Wednesday.

Right.

And, you know, look.

Trust me.

The wafflehead.

Right.

Democrats vote on Wednesday.

It was a waffle.

Now, if you're dumb enough to believe the waffle float, well.

And it was performative art, but you can't censor art.

That's Democrats much now.

Amen, brother.

Amen.

This whole program is art.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

It's more than political speech.

It's art.

As the 100th most important person in

the world of art.

according to some real legitimate art magazine.

Actually, legitimate.

They did that and thought that they were like mocking me.

We use it for our advantage.

No one even remembers what the magazine is.

We use it for our advantage all the time.

100,

I am the 100th most important person in the world of art.

Just want to let you know.

By the way, did you see how Trump's brother's death was handled?

This is

obscene.

Just obscene.

When people die, John Lewis, we've had massive, massive disagreements with him on politics.

Massive.

Did you hear us say anything bad or iffy or anything other than that is a great loss?

Didn't agree with his politics, but that is a great loss.

Everybody, everybody, we would never do that.

Look at the news organizations.

One of them, which I would like to have a monologue on and I might KSL

owned outright by my church

and they were mocking it it's time for KSL to be sold okay if you can't stay civil and you are picking sides then it should be sold

What people did, the AP, the Washington Post.

Mr.

President, I am sorry for the loss of your brother.

I know how painful.

Jeez.

All right, relief factor.

Gary lives in California, which means the biggest thing he might be facing.

I don't know if you heard the good news on Friday, but

what was it?

California may slide into the ocean, right?

At some point?

Wasn't that it?

Oh my gosh, that is horrible.

Anyway, the second biggest thing that Gary should be worried about is just the progressives just destroying.

Third thing might be the pain he was suffering every day, almost all day long.

That's until he heard about Relief Factor.

Now Gary's a little bit older.

He takes a certain radio show host I know well,

you know, with a little bit of skepticism.

Good.

But after a few weeks of using Relief Factor, he found that his pain was almost completely gone.

He got his life back, and you can too.

Relief Factor, it's not a drug developed by doctors, and 70% of the people are just like Gary.

They go on to order more.

They're just like me.

I take it three times a day.

Holy cow, do we have a great show for you today?

Everything you need to know about the electrifying convention that's going to be

happening on Zoom.

And

it's going to be

spine-chilling, really is.

And we're going to, we have somebody, Stu, do we have somebody on the

virtual convention floor?

that's the rumor i know they're trying to put that together okay so we'll we'll try to have that uh check in with uh whoever that might be on uh on this program in just about 35 minutes right now we have pat gray who is uh the host of pat gray unleashed and here in a surgical mask which

my long-standing policy to you know just uh keep the virus at bay is your long-standing long-standing policy really i've been watching you for the last few weeks and so you've noticed that i've masked up quite a bit never Never.

Have I seen you in a mask?

No.

That's weird.

It's just.

That is weird.

It's just.

Isn't that weird?

It's just weird.

Because you've been in, I haven't noticed necessarily you'd be wearing it for the past few months when you've been coming in here every day.

Really?

Today you are.

And I'm curious, is it because you have someone who definitely has COVID sitting next to you?

Okay, that's it.

That's it.

Okay, that's it.

That's the difference.

I don't have COVID.

I don't have COVID.

It's because of the certainty of the virus being in the room.

That's the difference.

That's what I get.

But But I don't have COVID.

There's a distinction here.

Everybody in his family had COVID, and he sleeps with one of them that has COVID, and so he has COVID.

You know he does.

And he looks it.

He looks the part.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Well,

if inflation of your skin is part of COVID, I've got it bad.

I've got it really bad.

I was thinking about it last night.

I haven't sept on a scale, but I bet it's the COVID-40

back.

Yeah, God.

I don't want to be near that scale.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's not good.

It's not good.

Not good.

Not good.

It's not good.

I was thinking about that.

Not for any of us.

I was thinking about that last night.

I was having some of your wife's cookies.

I was thinking, wow, I got to stop.

But I didn't, strangely.

Didn't at all.

That's weird.

So, Pat, what are the things that

are on your mind today that you're a little bothered about you guys missing the big story?

I mean, you're talking around it, but you won't discuss the real issue about this Postal Service thing.

Okay, all right.

Taylor Swift has sounded off in a powerful, powerful way.

Really?

And has called the president a blatant cheat, and

he is dismantling the U.S.

Postal Service.

Oh, my God.

She's smart.

She is really.

She's brilliant.

Listen to this.

Trump's calculated dismantling.

of USPS proves one thing clearly.

He's well aware we don't want him as our president.

He's chosen to blatantly cheat and put millions of Americans' lives at risk in order to hold on to power.

And he is dismantling the U.S.

Postal Service.

Well, if by dismantling, you mean he has loaned them an additional $10 billion,

then yes, you're exactly right.

That's the way you take somebody apart.

You know what I mean?

They're $10 billion.

That's it.

Not a penny more.

They're a struggling business.

Well, there's going to be more, but just not on that check.

You know, somebody's struggling in business.

You're like, help me, help me, help me.

And you're like, I am going to put them them out of business.

More predatory lending.

I'm going to give them

$10 billion.

That's it, right?

Yeah.

And it's not actually a loan, Stu.

It's not a loan.

It's just write the check.

Yeah.

Here's the money.

Keep it for it.

Keep it.

Keep it.

That's a pretty good loan.

And, you know, you talked about the fact that they're removing some of the blue mailboxes where you.

put your mail.

Oh, my gosh.

Because that's what they do when nobody uses those those boxes in those areas.

They take them from that area and put them maybe at a shopping center where people are and can put them.

Oh, put them at a shopping center where poor people won't be and won't be able to mail their ballots.

Right.

Because what are they going to do?

They're going to put them in a shopping center.

There's no other

one that is going to use that mailbox.

Some people might say

you have a mailbox at your house.

Here's what you do: you take your mail, your mail-in ballot, you walk it out to your post, your mailbox.

You open the door, put the mail-in, close the door, raise the flag.

Some would say that's an opportunity then for the mailman, the letter carrier.

What if you don't have one of those?

You're living like you.

You're welcome.

You're living in an apartment complex.

Right.

And you don't have a mailbox.

Well, there's a place where everybody has their mailbox.

You go down there in that case and open yours and put it in there.

And when they see that there's mail in there, they take it out and they deliver it to the post office.

Or if,

under really radical circumstances,

you could drive to the post office yourself and put it right on the slide.

Assuming you had a car.

Well, yes.

You know what I mean?

You could take it to drive.

Uber.

Now, glyph.

Could you put it in one of the other post office boxes that were next to the one that they removed?

Yes, you could.

Okay.

Yes.

What if you put...

What about those people who are currently living in a coffin and they don't have

that?

That's the discriminatory

way of

describing them.

I'm telling you, they are living in a very small living space right now.

And

there's no post box.

They're not for their little living quarters or not living quarters, but their quarters.

Of course.

Yes.

Well, there was just a case of that.

What state was it where they removed 846 of those mailed ballots to those people?

To the actual dead.

And Donald Trump said

no, they don't get to vote.

Why?

Just because they don't breathe anymore?

Where are their rights?

Just because their heart's not beating?

Does the Constitution say you lose your rights when you stop breathing?

When your heart stops beating?

I don't see it.

I've read it a million times.

I've never seen it.

It's not in there.

It's not in there.

It's not in there.

It's not in there.

Donald Trump again.

Just taking away rights from people.

Non-breathing people.

Dead are people too, you know.

Yeah, or they are.

They at least were.

Yeah, they were people.

Oh, they stopped being people just because they're dead.

Yes, now they're spirits for a while.

And then those spirits can vote, right?

I mean, I don't see anything in the Constitution that says they can't.

There isn't one.

There isn't anything in there.

What if you're a dog?

What if you're a dog and you don't have a mailbox?

That's a really good question, Glenn.

Jose, thank you very much.

What if you're a cat and all you have is a litter box?

Is a post post office?

Donald Trump stopping people from checking the litter boxes.

There was a cat.

A cat post.

There was a cat a couple of months ago that we heard about.

I know.

Who received 12 years after its death a

twerk check for $1,200?

Wow, look at how he's biased

for living people.

Well, maybe if he had that money earlier, he would have been able to stay alive, right?

Yeah, right.

Hire an a visiting vet.

So it came 12 years too late.

So what?

I mean,

who thinks that this is a good idea to change anything

about

our voting system this time around?

Who's like, you know what?

We should all do mail-in.

We should all do, well, you know what?

We should do we should get Kreskin and everybody who wants to vote for Trump.

You just think about it and Kreskin will write it down.

I mean, why would we change anything?

It's bad as it is, but

it's still probably the best in the world.

Why would we change anything?

Especially when they're all saying that Trump is trying to throw this election through the mail and by destroying the post office.

All right.

Well, isn't that a pretty good reason to show up with an ID

at a voting booth?

Let's do that.

Let's show up and let's just vote.

You can understand, obviously, the theory behind it, right?

Like to be prepared if you've got a pandemic going on, maybe you want to have the ability for.

November, right?

Right.

I mean, first of all, it's going to be later, but again, it's tough to predict.

Obviously, we've seen people miss these predictions like crazy.

But the bottom line is, we have I voted absentee almost every election.

Why are we doing election coverage all day and all night that night?

So I can't just go to the polls on election day.

So almost every single time I voted, I voted absentee.

It's super easy.

They will take literally any excuse.

And that's only in there's only seven states in the Union where you even have to come up with an excuse

that could be different than COVID.

If you tell them you have to work that day, what they're going to do is send you the ballot request.

It's the most minimal amount of effort.

It's easy, and it's been working in this country for a very long time.

Why would we need to expand the system and outwardly mail people ballot applications in advance?

If they want them, they can ask for them.

And that's worked in this country for a very long time.

It's just,

this is, again, just nonsense.

It's just nonsense to get bases fired fired up, and people are going crazy over it.

The left thinks Donald Trump is overthrowing the election because of the mail.

No, they don't think that.

They don't think that.

Well, I think the regular people, a lot of them do.

Oh, I think that's a possibility.

The leadership doesn't.

It doesn't at all.

No, the leadership doesn't, and the left doesn't.

They know exactly what's going on, and they're going to burn the cities down to the ground

if Donald Trump wins.

They are.

They're setting that whole thing up.

Oh, yeah, they are.

Absolutely.

Like, Taylor Swift really believes that's true.

And again, she's a moron, but I mean, she actually believes that's true.

She's sitting there terrified that the president of the United States is trying to mail her election away.

You know what's amazing to me is how we were called fear mongers.

We still are.

You're fear mongers if you're a conservative.

You're a fear monger.

We're the most optimistic, happy people out there right now.

I mean, you listen to that.

All they do is fear monger.

All they do is fearmonger.

COVID on the election.

And everybody is on the left is believing it.

Everybody who votes for a Democrat, they all believe all of that stuff.

I mean,

it's remarkable.

They're incapable of making a rational decision until Donald Trump is not president.

When Donald Trump is no longer president, they may be able to come up with a rational thought.

And I mean in any part of their lives.

It's all irrational right now.

Let me ask you this.

What do you think about...

I was thinking about this last night as I was reading about New York City and how much trouble New York City is in.

And we're going to get into this here.

Financially?

Oh, no, no, no.

People are just leaving it.

The Time Life building has 5,000 employees, and I think currently 800 are going to work there.

Wow.

That's going to be a problem, though, now.

Oh, it's going to be

nobody's coming back.

Nobody's coming back.

I'm hearing that from everybody.

Yeah.

So where did they go?

It's 8,000 normally, and it's 500 working.

Oh, wow.

So it's worse.

Worse than you said.

It's worse than you.

Worse than you reporters.

Wow.

That's insane.

That's absolutely insane.

So

where are they going?

A lot of those New Yorkers are moving to Florida, a swing state.

You are impacting the election in Texas because of all the Californians that are moving here.

You're affecting it in Florida because of all the New Yorkers moving there.

And nobody's talking about that.

there are states that have always voted one way, or it's been close, and they are being turned upside down by this massive exodus of these cities.

Do we know that they're actually leaving the city, or are they just staying home right now?

No, a lot of them are leaving the city.

It seems like both.

I mean, like they are leaving.

They left because of COVID.

Yeah.

Or some of them left because of the violence of the riots when people were breaking into their buildings.

It's like there's a video going around on social right now, which shows going down, I think was it Fifth Avenue, Glenn?

Yeah, Fifth Avenue.

Every single business has its windows boarded.

Play it real quick.

We have it.

Just play it real quick if you happen to be watching.

Look at everything.

Everything's boarded up.

Even the hotel is boarded up.

The thing here, though, to remember is you don't need to board up windows to stop COVID.

Have you ever seen them out there?

You board up windows to stop people from breaking them.

It's the riots

that is getting a lot of people to have to leave this city.

It's just the last straw.

And now, with all the hassles of living in the city,

there's just, you've lost all of the positives of being there.

None of the places are open.

So why the hell would you be there?

It's expensive and it's awful.

You have to deal with Build de Blasio.

Broadway is supposed to be closed until next spring at the earliest is when they will open.

Next spring.

So there's no tourism.

There are no stores.

Nobody's

all these companies, no restaurants.

All these companies are like, you know, I don't even know if we need to have our business in New York anymore.

New York may never recover.

And I don't know how commercial real estate does.

It's already 30 to 40% down.

You can get an apartment 30 to 40 percent lower than you ever could.

That's in New York.

But I think all around the country

people have these big offices and they don't need them anymore.

Yep.

They don't need them.

All right.

Thanks, Pat.

Pat Gray, unleashed.

Hang out for

the next hour when we're going to go to the convention floor

for the Democrats coming up in just a second.

First, let me tell you about honey.

Are you a big fan of paying full price for things?

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, I like a good bargain just as much as you do.

And that's why you need to get the app and the browser extension that my family has.

Stu has.

You actually have it on yours.

You online shop a lot.

Yeah.

I've seen it where they where you can you click the honey thing and it it shows you can see the price in the background on the website just changing.

Yeah.

It's just going down and down and down and down and down right in front of your eyes.

It's so great.

Tanya uses it all the time.

She does all the online shopping.

But if you get honey, the app, you will save a ton of money.

They don't sell any of your information.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

It is Monday.

Well, we see how unstable things are in the Middle East now that Donald Trump got the UAE to

agree to normalize relations.

We do have Iran issuing a threat on Saturday to launch a missile attack on the UAE

because they had made a huge mistake and a betrayal, the great betrayal of the Palestinian people, will turn this small, rich country, which is heavily dependent on security, into a legitimate and easy target.

He says we could hit the UAE in eight minutes.

So we got that going for us.

Morocco,

Yeah, Morocco says that they're probably going to be the next state to normalize ties with Israel.

And there are five other Arab countries now: Bahrain, Oman, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

No word on Tunisia yet, but

Saudi Arabia is the big one.

If that happens,

it changes the whole region.

Yeah.

I mean, any of them big and big and a big step.

I mean, it's been 25 years or 26 years since anybody had done that.

But Donald Trump is just going to cause a giant war in the Middle East.

We all know that, right?

We're all on the same page there.

Well, I mean, look, you have all of them coming to play.

The one who's going to destabilize it is not Donald Trump.

The one who's going to destabilize it will be the head of the snake, Iran.

They're the ones telling everyone there will be a great war if this continues.

Who's the one?

Who is the destabilizing factor?

The one Obama was giving money to?

Or the one Trump said, now we're going to cut that off?

This is the Glembeck program.

By the way, I just had my breakfast Built Bar.

Built Bar is a sponsor of ours.

They are really,

really good.

I just had the chocolate and

made with real chocolate.

Have you had one of these?

I have not.

No.

Try this.

Do you like coconut?

I do not.

Okay.

I like chocolate, though, but you already ate it.

This is chocolate and coconut.

It's like a mounds bar, and it really is.

Okay.

This is

their

chocolate and raspberry, and it's real chocolate.

And it has everything in it.

It's a protein bar, but they've added nine or sorry, six new flavors plus their original 12.

You are going to love it.

Go to builtbar.com, builtbar.com, use the promo code Beck and get $10 off your first order.

That's promo code Beck at builtbar.com.

Really, really good, healthy, low-calorie.

They have a million crazy new flavors that they come out with all the time.

So good, so good.

Their mint chocolate is outrageously good.

It's Built Bar.

Promo code Beck.

I said that.

Built Bar.

Promo code Beck.

Right there.

Yeah, I know.

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

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Hello, America, and welcome to Monday.

It's the Glenn Beck program, and my, oh, my, oh, my, what a beautiful program we've got for you today.

We're going right on to the convention floor for the Democrats and the Democratic convention.

Everybody is so excited about this.

People are talking about it from sea to shining sea in the purple mountains.

They have majestically bowed down because this week, who knows who Joden Biden is going to pick as the

vice.

He's already.

Everybody.

He's already picked.

He's already picked.

Well, but he could still, I mean,

we're still in flow.

We have some exciting things, some things like we don't know if he's going to be the

candidate.

He's the candidate.

He's the nominee.

Yeah.

Well, it's going to be exciting, and we have all the coverage beginning in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Well, you've worked hard for the things that you own, and while they don't define who you are, they are an indicator of the way you've managed your time and lived your life.

So, what happened when some jerk comes along and says, hey, I'm going to break into your house.

You give me the stuff in your house because you don't deserve it.

Wait until you hear the audio of what happened this weekend.

Oh, yeah, that's happening.

You know, they're going to take your stuff because you're insured.

You're insured, and it's theirs anyway.

You know what I mean?

We might have laughed at that idea, oh, I don't know, a year ago,

but unfortunately, this is our reality that we're living in.

Fortunately,

the world of home security has also evolved to the point where you can have top-of-the-line security that doesn't cost a fortune.

It's called SimplySafe.

If you don't have home security in your house, I don't know what you're thinking, honestly.

SimplySafe makes it easy and affordable to have the best home security on the market.

Their state-of-the-art equipment, round-the-clock monitoring, makes SimplySafe the first name in the business.

And when you pair how SimplySafe is to with the setup and the fact that you're only going to pay 50 cents a day for the monitoring, it's a no-brainer.

Head to simply safebeck.com, simply safebeck.com, and get a free HD security camera.

That's simply safebeck.com.

Make sure you know my show sent you.

10 seconds.

And we're right into it.

We go now to the convention floor

to

our

analyst,

Stu Bregier.

Yes.

Hi, Stu.

How are you?

Glenn, how are you?

Very good.

Very good.

You were just here in the studio.

I didn't know if it was going to be you

on the convention floor.

Ironic that you were at a studio for all this time.

And now you're back, and here I am

at the convention.

At the convention.

Oh, I couldn't resist.

Yeah.

I could not miss this.

Okay.

You sound very excited.

The energy here is just incredible, Glenn.

Okay.

Where is this

convention?

It's in the

United States of America.

Is that right?

The US and Army.

Really narrowed it down.

They could have had it overseas, but they just love this country.

All right, okay.

So it's actually

in cyberspace, which I understand.

Well, sure.

There's some people who are attending via zoom

however I want you to just take in the energy of the on-site

conference that I'm enjoying right now just just listen to this passion for Joe Biden

it's electric it is yeah it's

really amazing I mean we can all

get together and reminisce about times in our lives where we've seen the most exciting things we've ever seen before.

And I think, I mean, think of the Super Bowl.

Right.

The Olympic Games.

They're right, right.

The Lilith Fair.

The what?

The Fire Festival.

Right.

The Southeastern Actuarial Convention in 1990.

I would put this event right in that area.

Really?

Right in the

actuaries.

The actuarial conversation and the Super Bowl conversation.

And the fire festival.

And the fire festival.

Right in there.

It's mixed right in.

And I think that's important.

You never know what's going to happen here.

All sorts of crazy stuff's happened so far.

Right.

The vice presidential nominee, we expect to know

officially what's already been announced.

Right.

And that's going to be exciting.

That's going to be very exciting.

Right now, we.

To see her with Joe Biden, which we've already seen last week, but we're going to see it again.

Yeah, and we're going to see him on Zoom again.

Right.

Which everyone in America loves Zoom.

You know,

it's not an annoying way to live your life.

Right.

Talking to everybody through a screen and it glitches, it disconnects, and they're on mute.

And then they're talking for five minutes, and they don't know they're on mute.

Well, but this is not, from what I understand, this is not a live, live event.

I mean, there would be a few things that are live, but it's mainly all pre-produced.

In an exciting way, though.

You know what else is pre-produced?

Independence Day, the movie movie about the aliens, pre-produced.

That wasn't live.

People don't know that.

It could be that exciting.

No,

we know that was a movie.

Oh,

it's going to be so fun.

I think the most excited person here on the convention floor, and again, I want you to listen to this crowd.

Hello?

Are you there?

You guys getting that?

Yeah, no, we...

No, we hear it.

We've got it.

Hello?

It's pretty amazing.

I don't know if you can get that.

I don't know if it's picking it up.

But I think probably the most excited person I've talked to is Bob.

Bob.

Now, Bob is

the IT guy.

He's the guy that's setting up the Zoom calls.

And

he's the guy I talked to about the Wi-Fi password.

So now I'm on Wi-Fi.

I'm very excited to give it to me.

Wow.

Oddly enough, the password's Trump2020, which I thought was strange.

Strange voice.

Right.

So there's a new pew poll out that shows that

prior to Joe Biden selecting Kamala Harris,

he had 56% of the voters who backed the vice president over Trump.

But now that he has decided that he's going to

have her as the running mate, they don't have any numbers.

But what they do have is that 19%

of those 56% say they're only supporting Biden

because

he's not Trump.

I think that's the cause of all this excitement that we're feeling here.

The energy is palpable.

Yeah, 9% say that they're voting for him because of his positions and his policies.

9%.

That's incredible, but much more than 0%.

It's much more than zero.

Nine more than zero.

Right.

Right.

That's

a lot.

It's a lot.

It's more than seven and eight, too.

If you go in order, you're going to get all those numbers below nine.

It's going to be more than all of them.

So that's incredible.

And that's the kind of stuff that you're going to be covering tonight.

Yes, I'm very excited about it.

Me and Bob are going to be hanging out.

He's the only other person here.

Right.

But he's wonderful.

Right.

And he's trying to get me to vote for Donald Trump.

Right.

Which is strange.

He seems to be a campaign operative.

Would not be surprised if the Zoom call crashes crashes tonight.

Would not be surprised.

All right.

Well, how is it?

Do you have any word on the health and well-being of Joe Biden?

Is he up and raring to go?

And really excited about this night, I'm sure.

From what I understand, they do have a backup generator in case the electricity goes out.

Because, as you know, he's powered by electricity at this point.

So in case the power goes out, they could just plug him right in.

Right.

Turn them on like the matrix.

Everything will be fine.

Okay, great.

Thank you very much, Stu.

It's

good to have you on location today

at the convention.

Pat joins us today.

You know,

the one thing that

speaks volumes is the fact

that most of the people voting for Joe Biden are not voting for him.

Yeah.

It's not enough to vote against.

9%

are excited about his policies?

Not good.

good.

Did you also see the CNN poll?

Have you guys talked about the CNN poll yet?

No.

They took it last in early June, and he was Biden 14 points over up on Trump.

They took it again this last week.

It's down to four,

which is within the margin of error, plus or minus 4%.

So he's in a virtual tie right now

with Joe Biden.

Yeah, but

Google and Facebook haven't really helped out all that much yet.

No, that's true.

That's true.

They can swing that vote

by just simply reminding people who they know are Democrat to vote on Election Day and not remind anybody who is a Republican.

So

we have that.

Oh, Stu is back.

That was a quick flight.

Yeah,

travel was really impressive these days.

But what an event.

What a time.

What a time.

Sunday Electric.

Is anyone, seriously, is anyone that you know going to watch this?

No one I know.

I mean, I'm certainly not.

For work purposes, I'll probably have to

watch the highlights.

For work, yeah, you're going to watch the highlights.

I'm going to watch the highlights.

Yeah.

For work, I will probably

type in Zoom

and convention.

Whether I click on the hyperlink to actually open it up, I don't know.

But that's just kind of the exciting part of this whole thing.

Will anyone watch it or not?

Really?

I can't imagine anyone watching it.

Seriously.

It's just dead.

I mean, it was a dumb event anyway.

The conventions have never been anything I've been excited about.

No, the only reason why most Americans watch it was because you were trapped.

It was the only thing on all of the networks.

Are they still putting it on the networks tonight?

I don't think so.

Really?

I thought they still were.

Because that's how I was going to watch it.

If it's not on there, then I'm definitely not watching it.

I listened to,

somebody looked that up.

I was listening to NPR today, and they said that, you know, it's on Zoom.

Well, but that's how they're communicating, right?

Like, you don't have to go to Zoom to watch it, do you?

That can't possibly be how this is happening.

I assume it's going to be on CNN and Fox, and they're going to be airing the speeches, right?

It's got to be.

It's got to be.

It's got to be.

If it's only on Zoom.

Think about this, though, Glenn.

Think about we've been doing the show together since the 2000 election.

You've been doing it with Pat going back even further than that.

We've been through a lot of elections.

Never have I seen less passion for a candidate than Joe Biden.

Right.

I mean, they hate Trump.

There's no doubt there's passion there.

Yes.

But like, but no one cares

for Biden at all.

He's just a placeholder.

He is just a placeholder.

There's no interest in what he's doing.

50% of the people who say they're going to vote for Joe Biden expect him to be dead by the end of four years.

Okay.

Wait, what?

50% of people who say they're voting for Joe Biden don't expect him to make it the full term.

So he's not even a placeholder.

And they're probably right.

If he were to be elected, I don't expect him to make it through his first term.

Yeah, well, certainly he's not dead.

Not that dead, but not able to be competent.

He does not seem competent to be able to do the job.

We were talking about that clip the other day from the Palin debate where he looked, again, and he's Joe Biden.

He's never been great, but he looked competent.

He looked like he was on top of what he was saying.

You look at him today, and it's, it's, I mean, it's sad.

It is.

By the way, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox will carry the convention from 10 to 11 Eastern.

C-SPAN, CNN, MSNBC, and PBS will carry both hours.

So they're not even, it's only two hours.

They'll only carry one.

Right.

Two hours is going to be.

Yeah.

It's going to feel like a century, though.

I mean, think about a five-minute Zoom meeting that you have during a work week and how agonizing that is.

Put that in for two hours.

That's going to be it's going to feel like a century.

Agonizing.

You know, I do think that the Republicans have a real advantage out of pure luck here to see how bad this goes goes and what doesn't work because no one has any idea what's going to work here.

They should be watching this very closely and see what is a disaster and think about maybe if it's really bad, maybe it's not two hours a night, maybe it's 15 minutes a night.

It is just trim the thing down.

You have Trump speak, you have Pence speak, you know, maybe one or two other key people.

And just see this is the problem.

Trump is good at these kinds of things.

He is a good producer.

He knows how to produce exciting television.

Sure.

Of course.

He'll watch this and go, well, that was an abomination.

And he'll come up with something that's crazy.

In a good way.

This is his strength, right?

Yeah.

Unfortunately, his strength is also with crowds, and not having a crowd to react to is going to suck for him, I think.

He loves that.

I don't know why he wouldn't do a crowd.

Why he wouldn't do the last night of the convention.

If they do it all virtual, the last night of the convention, you telling me you can't find a place,

you know, where people will show up to support him.

They would show up.

And he did it did it out there.

I think he got burned a little bit by Tulsa because a lot of people got it after that.

And so he doesn't want to go through that again.

How many people died?

We know.

From Tulsa.

We know for sure from the media that Herman Cain died directly because of Tulsa.

Yeah, directly.

Directly because of Tulsa.

Because he had also been at about 100 other cities.

But Tulsa is the one he got.

We know that.

We know it.

Yes.

We know it.

Trump killed him.

Yeah.

Trump killed him.

Yeah.

Trump.

I'm sorry.

George Stephanopoulos, thanks for dropping by.

Back in just a minute.

All right.

Our sponsor, this half hour is Relief Factor.

Deborah lives in Massachusetts.

Why, I don't know, but you know, Texas is open, Deborah, and you're the kind of person we want down here.

Anyway, up until very recently, she had a serious problem.

She had hip pain that was keeping her up at nights and not allowing her to get any rest, and Deborah was starting to get a little desperate.

Fortunately, she heard about Relief Factor on the radio

and decided to give it a try.

Literally, within four days, Deborah says the pain in her hip was gone, not diminished, actually fully gone.

Deborah has been taking Relief Factor ever since, and when she goes to bed at the end of the day, she knows she's going to get a good night's sleep.

Deborah got her life back.

That's remarkable.

In four days, that doesn't usually happen, but

try it.

All right.

Stu and Pat joins us for this hour as we talk about the convention.

I do want to point this out before we go back into political talk.

The City of Philadelphia's Art Commission, of course it was the Art Commission, has announced that it is going to remove the 144-year-old statue of Christopher Columbus that stands at Marconi Plaza.

Now,

I got to be honest with you, Philadelphia.

Why do you have a mob?

I don't mean like the mob.

Why is the mob, if the mob isn't patriotic, and I don't mean the mob on the streets, I mean, you know, you got a lovely game.

If they're not protecting Christopher Columbus, what good are they to your city?

Seriously.

In the good old days, the mob would have never let that happen.

You ain't taking down no Christopher Columbus statue in Macone Plaza.

You understand what I'm saying?

You and your little Fotsy Foxy people can get the hell out of our neighborhood.

That's what would have happened.

What happened to our mob?

I was just watching that Netflix documentary, Fear City.

I had Giuliani on to talk about it on Studos America last week.

And that mob, that mob would not put up with taking a Christopher Columbus statue down.

What did he do?

It was a gift.

It was a gift from the Italian government to the city of Philadelphia in 1876, our

centennial.

1876, a gift

from the people of Italy, and the mob is going to let the.

Look, let's be honest.

The mob runs Philadelphia.

It runs Philadelphia.

It does.

That's official.

Yeah, it runs Philadelphia.

I mean, if the mob existed, the mob doesn't exist.

Oh, no.

Yeah.

That's a myth.

It's a myth.

Do they run the city or do you?

They run the city.

They run the city.

But it's a Philadelphia myth.

Of course, it's a myth.

What are you going to go on air and say the mob exists?

And runs Philadelphia?

You can't say that.

You can't say that.

That's crazy talk.

It's a myth.

There's the mob, they don't even exist.

They're fitted for cement overshoes over there.

But

they run the city.

And everybody in Philadelphia knows it.

And

how they are letting the American people down.

I mean, seriously.

If you can't trust the mob, who can you trust?

If the mob is no longer American, you know,

they were like, you bring those Nazis over to me, I'll break their legs.

No Nazis going to be hanging out in my neighborhood.

You know what I'm saying?

That's the way the mob used to be.

Red, white, and blue.

And the red

was flowing freely when somebody was trying to mess with them and Christopher Columbus.

I don't know what's what's happening.

I don't know what's happening.

I don't understand our world anymore.

Perhaps the myth isn't capable of defending this statue.

I would not say that.

You would not, but it's a myth.

No, I would not say that.

Yes, they are a myth, but I would not say that the myth is not capable of doing anything.

Well, how would a myth be capable of doing anything?

You find out pretty quickly.

You'll find out pretty darn quickly.

Okay?

Okay, so we have that

going on today.

We also have, we got to get back to

our coverage of

the election.

May I just say, as

we're going to switch kind of and go a different direction here in a few minutes, New York Democrats, listen to this, New York Democrats are angered at the NYPD union because they've endorsed Trump.

Now, it's not like,

what have you done for me lately?

It's not like you've forgotten me.

You know what I mean?

Hey, you Democrats,

you're trying to help everybody else and you've forgotten who really butters your bread.

No, no, they're against the New York police.

Yeah.

How are they surprised and disappointed and angered?

They're all on the streets saying they should be defunded.

They're taking millions and millions of dollars away from their budgets.

They're saying whenever they do anything to defend their own own lives, that they're criminals.

I would not want to go anywhere near a Democrat right now if I was a police officer.

I don't know how any of them

could possibly even be voting for a Democrat, let alone supporting the Democrats.

The police officers union president said, I've had 36 years on this job, 21 as the president.

I can't remember when we've ever endorsed for office of the president of the United States until now.

That's how important this is.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right, sometimes the best thing you can do to a process is just simplify it.

We complicate things all the time.

We're all learning this now.

Our lives were so complicated, everything was complicated, and now we've just kind of boiled it down to the essentials, and things are working pretty well.

I mean, not in business, of course, but when it comes to shaving creams and shaving, boil it down.

What do you need, really?

You don't need a razor with too many blades.

You don't need the creams and the foams and the gels, electric shaver with 40 different attachments.

You don't need it.

What you do need is Shave Secret, and that is a proprietary blend of essential oils.

And you only need a few drops on a wet palm.

Feels great on your skin, smells amazing.

Going to replace all those ridiculous foam gels, you know, in your bathroom.

It's 100% natural, made and easy to use, made here in the United States.

Nothing from China, backed by 100% guarantee.

It's going to be the best shave you've ever had for men and women.

Shave Secret, available regionally at HEB, Wegmans, Walmart, and Amazon.

Or go to shavesecret.com.

It's available on Blaze TV.

Use the promo code Glenn and save yourself 10 bucks.

Or break your legs.

This is the Glenbeck program.

My producers would like me to make this into a bigger deal, and I just feel awkward doing it.

But we have an announcement to make.

I have been inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame.

Wow.

Congratulations.

Really exciting for me and my family.

And thank you if you voted.

Thank you so much.

I suspect mail-in voter fraud.

Well, Donald Trump and Russia.

He fixed it.

They were

instrumental.

They were,

yeah.

But it was, it's,

you know,

I didn't even think about it, and I didn't want to make a big deal out of it,

you know, and ask you for your vote.

I was very uncomfortable the whole time because it doesn't make a difference in the listener's life.

I mean, a professional wouldn't have been that uncomfortable with it.

Someone who was going in the Radio Hall of Fame would have just been able to do his job.

But

yeah,

no, you were very uncomfortable.

It was noticeable.

Yeah, and I don't, because it doesn't affect you in your life, but it is an honor.

And

I've been thinking about it.

I just found out about it.

I was thinking about it over the weekend that, you know, that's Jack Benny and Bob Hope and Larry Lujack and Charlie Tuna and Rush Lim Rose and Rush Limbaugh.

I mean, it's

quite.

Mark Levin just went in, right?

Mark Levin.

So

it's quite a field to be in with, and it's a real honor.

And

I thank you a great deal for just listening to us.

And I honestly don't know how I got into the Radio Hall of Fame as I am, I stand by, the worst broadcaster in America.

But that's just how low America's standards are right now.

Pat, we should probably say the unsaid of how much we had to do with it.

Yeah.

You know, I mean, it really is really an honor for us through Glenn.

And so we thank the Radio Hall of Fame for that honor.

So I will tell you that I have to select somebody to induct me.

And so I don't know which one to ask here because you both are so great.

But Pat, do you know of somebody I should ask that would be really good?

Let's see.

And Stu, you should, because I'm going to ask you too after him.

But if you have somebody.

You're going to ask me to do this.

No, I was just going to ask you if you know somebody that would be

important that

would be.

I don't know of anybody that would really

have been with you a long time.

Yeah.

I was thinking Ben Shapiro, maybe.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, I was thinking about maybe Ben would be good.

That might be a good idea.

All right.

Okay,

we're going back to the convention, and it's going to be an exciting convention tonight, and nobody's going to watch it.

But in case you happen to be in, I don't know, a critical care unit and you have no access to the remote control and it's on CNN,

this is who you will see tonight.

James Clyburn of South Carolina, riveting the.

Highest-ranking black member of Congress and a hugely influential figure.

Wow, so cool.

You have Clyburn kicking it off.

And

he's arguably saving Joe Biden's campaign.

That is true.

He gets the day one.

I mean, I guess it's the opener, so that's kind of a big deal, but day one on

and nobody's caring that first hour.

Then you get

only the people watching on Zoom.

I will say they respect minorities, though, those Democrats.

They do.

They love them.

They do.

How about Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto of Nevada?

Pretty excited about her.

Really psyched about that.

Electric.

And then you come into Andrew M.

Cuomo.

Oh, my gosh.

Don't touch up.

They're really giving this.

They're really giving him a platform.

Exactly.

Two.

Now, this really bothers you for some reason.

Andrew AndrewCuomoisAwful.com.

Remember that, of course.

He is the worst.

He is the worst, the worst response to the coronavirus in the world.

That includes people handling pangolins in Wuhan.

He is the worst.

Not worse than Donald Trump, though.

Much, much worse than Donald Trump.

Really?

Yeah, it's interesting.

You notice that, like, Donald Trump, you could say, has

oversight over the entire nation.

Not Andrew Cuomo.

Andrew Cuomo infected the entire nation because people, he did such a bad job and he was encouraging people to go out and live their life as normal.

And you know, fear is much worse than the virus.

He kept saying that on

every interview over and over again.

Fear is much worse than this virus.

Fear is much worse all the way up to like late March.

Like he's still there.

Fear is much worse than this virus.

So what's happened is

he wound up getting tens of thousands of people in his state killed, more than any other state by far, the second highest per capita in the nation, behind only New Jersey, which were all people from New York, from Cuomo's CCA.

Then Connecticut, I think, was fourth.

So, all those people also from New York going into Connecticut and infecting them.

They've done analysis of the genetic breakdown all across the country,

including California.

California, Idaho, Wyoming, 80% the New York strain.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thanks a lot, Andrew.

You did a great job.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

That is only because Donald Trump did not say that it was coming from Europe.

Oh, really?

That's because that's so what we're going to do is we're going to blame wherever it came from most recently.

That's what it was.

That's how this works.

I want to make sure I understand it because if that's true, then everyone in America should blame Andrew Cuomo because that's where it all came from, was New York.

Yeah, but what about his genius idea, sending sick people to nursing homes?

Well, yeah, that was

a good idea.

Now, sure, first of all, he did that.

Okay.

Now, he did that along with four other governors, also did that.

He was the only one in America, however, that prevented nursing homes when they were bringing in new patients, prevented them from testing testing on the basis of that.

He did not want to discriminate against their COVID status.

So, if you were COVID positive or negative, it's like, you know, it's like being, it's like being black or being gay or whatever.

You can't discriminate against an infectious disease.

This is a positive test.

This used to happen, this has happened a lot in the old leper caves and the leper colonies.

When one leper was transferred to another colony,

there were several colonies, they were democratic colonies, that said, you can't test him for leprosy.

You can't do it.

You could do it.

The fact that his face was falling off might have been a clue.

I mean, it's just possible.

And we should point out here that Cuomo also,

once all of this happened and tens of thousands of his own citizens died in what seems to be a plot from an evil madman to kill as many old people as possible, once that went down, he then, in the middle of all of this going on, changed the way they record deaths of people in nursing homes so that people who were in nursing homes, got sick in nursing homes, were close to death in nursing homes, at the last minute were taken via ambulance to a hospital.

He doesn't count them as nursing home deaths.

So he's the only state in the union that does that.

Then, even though he knows he does that, he goes out and brags about how low his death total is from nursing homes.

It's unbelievable.

He is the biggest liar in America.

But

it did such a terrible job.

The fact that anyone gives him any credit for this is mind-boggling.

And he belongs perfectly on stage at that stupid convention tonight.

That's really, I mean, that's evil.

What he did was evil.

Yeah.

Just evil.

And the covering of the tracks.

I mean, look, we all make mistakes.

And if you would have, you know, made the mistake, but this was so apparent and so clear.

I mean, the nursing homes were coming to him

over and over again, you're killing our patients.

You're killing our setup to deal with this.

They're not set up to deal with a pandemic.

That's not what nursing homes are.

That's not the way.

They said we don't even have private rooms for these people.

They're multiple people in the same room.

You put a COVID-positive person in there.

What is going to happen to the most vulnerable population among us?

They're getting COVID.

Of course, they're getting COVID.

Okay.

So go through the rest of the list here of who else is there.

Senator Doug Jones of Alabama, who's just about to lose his seat.

So that's great.

He gets a final ditch.

Little Hail Mary there.

John Kasich.

Republican.

John Kasich.

Really?

Well, he is a Republican.

Yeah, I give him that.

Really?

He's a Republican.

He's the guy who is probably the most responsible for Donald Trump winning.

Donald Trump should love John Kasich because John Kasich not getting out,

at least this is the theory.

And

I don't know if it would have been true because Trump was a juggernaut.

He would have won anyway.

Yeah, but the only chance of him not winning

would be if he would have dropped out, if Kasich would have dropped out because he just held a lot of people that were not Trump people and it could have gone to somebody else.

So he did Trump a favor, and he's probably the most

clearly responsible guy for the Trump presidency.

And so I welcome him over there.

I welcome him.

Roger it again.

Amy Klobuchar.

She surged to a third place finish in the New Hampshire primary, then dropped out and endorsed Mr.

Biden.

And so he's awarding her because she was early on the bandwagon.

Then you got Representative Gwen Moore of Wisconsin.

I love her.

Michelle Obama, former first lady.

I can't wait to hear that.

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

Benny Thompson of Mississippi.

The Benny Thompson.

The Benny Thompson.

I know a lot of people have been clamoring.

When is Benny Thompson going to speak?

And then other people are like, who?

I'm sorry, who?

So

this is what they're doing tonight.

Now, let me ask you.

And Gretchen Whitmer.

Who is

it?

So

you have these people speaking, and many of them, I mean, Cuomo is responsible for what is happening in New York.

New York is dead, as we will show you in the next hour.

It is absolutely dead.

May not come back.

I mean, it's phenomenal what's going on in New York, and media is not covering it.

You have these people that have also not condemned any of the violence on the streets.

Listen to this.

This is from Seattle's BLM,

as they are marching in neighborhoods now.

Listen to this.

They're a little quiet.

So, this is a silent protest?

It is a silent protest.

Do you have it?

Powerful.

I think it was a historically Native American neighborhood.

Do you know people like you came in here and basically bought all the land from the black people for costing what it was worth, kicked them out so you can live here?

Do you know that?

What are you going to do to fix it?

Because you're part of that gentrification.

So they're telling them, get out of your house.

Give us your house.

White people need to give up their house.

And

this is something that has been going on now for a while in other cities.

Um, and let me play one more.

This is from Minnesota.

Listen to the madman at a Black Lives Matter uh rally here.

I'm a black man being terrorized by this Klansman right here.

We are terrorized.

This is in a white listen, y'all got the Korean wizard living in your god neighborhood.

All the Klan exists in Hugo, Minnesota, and it's right here.

Don't run now, don't run now, racist white people.

I'm here.

Oh, yeah, we pull up.

We pull the f.

I'm right here.

Come on, let me hear what your blue lives matter.

Big lives and

if people here go to support black people,

this is not cool.

It's not okay.

Can you imagine how you feel if you're a white person?

Oh, yeah.

And he asked the crowd, see if we give a F about burning this town down.

I mean, if you are a white person, you have to be terrified right now.

And I just don't believe that there is an overwhelming number of Democrats who are cool with the Democratic Party playing footsies with these people, saying that we should get rid of the police.

It's why guns have never been higher.

than they are right now.

Gun sales are through the roof right now.

Never, ever been higher than they are in the last month.

Up 152%.

Yeah, it's crazy.

And why is that happening?

Because of the Democrats?

You're damn right, because of the Democrats.

Remember, they're the ones that you wouldn't even have a gun or an opportunity to buy a gun while this was going on in your neighborhoods and your cities.

They would have you disarmed.

and cut the police

and endorse these people in your neighborhoods.

I'm sorry, I just don't think there's a hundred and fifty-five percent increase in gun sales.

These kinds of people in the streets who are yelling those kinds of things to white people, and you're going to vote for the party that dismisses it?

Nope.

I just don't buy it.

Let me tell you about Life Lock.

Troubling news in the cyber world.

Yet again, over 900 enterprise VPN servers were recently hacked, and the ransomware gangs responsible have shared usernames and passwords

harvested there in a private forum.

Enterprise VPNs, largely used by companies who have employees working at home, so practically everybody.

Basically, once these cyber criminals hack into the VPN server, they have access to the entire internal network of the company.

If you work for one of those companies, they have access to your information.

And it's important to understand how this and identity theft will work.

We put our information at risk every time we're on the internet.

But now with all of us, with Zoom, I mean, they could get tens of people's

information, tens of people, just by going onto Zoom tonight and hacking into the people watching the conference for the DNC.

I mean, maybe eight people could be in.

No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock can see the threats that you might miss on your own.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

We are glad you're here.

Coming up next hour, we have

some very, very important

information as far as it goes to the economy and

what is coming.

Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway, has just invested $700 million in gold.

Same for me.

Just did the same thing

last week.

Right.

Exactly $700 million, too.

And Wall Street is like, why?

You can make so much money on Wall Street.

Yeah, I know.

You can.

And pigs get slaughtered.

There are things that are coming your way that you need to be aware of.

And we'll tell you about those coming up next hour also.

What's happening in New York City has really been put into

focus

by James Alterer.

He is

a pretty amazing guy.

He's been on this program before.

I really like him.

But he is a New York City native.

He is a guy who's just a plain talker and, you know, talks to everybody and just shoots straight.

What he had to say about what's coming next

for New York will give you an idea of what's coming for the rest of the country.

Coming up.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenbeck program.

There is a lot to discuss this hour.

I'm going to tell you how New York City is dead and is not coming back.

It's a really strong and sad, sad case.

Also,

how the dollar is doing and what's not coming back.

All that begins in 60 seconds.

Information you must have to navigate the waters that are coming your way.

We begin in one minute.

This is the Glen Beck Program.

So how's your financial health doing right now?

It is a critical thing to pay attention to, especially with the future being so uncertain.

It's why you need to be asking yourself, what are some of the things that I could do to save money right now?

How can I cut some of my monthly costs that's already draining my bank account?

If you're a homeowner, one of the best things you can do is to explore a refinancing of your mortgage.

Mortgage interest was hovering around the 4% range not that long ago.

We were talking about being perfectly reasonable a year ago, but right now, we're not.

Right now, you're getting soaked if you're not in the 3% range.

And there's a lot of talk about percentages going down into the twos.

So it's really rare that I will read a full article on the air, but I want to read this from James Alcher.

He wrote on his LinkedIn account, I love New York City.

When I first moved to New York City, it was a dream come true.

Every corner was like a theater production happening right in front of me.

So much personality, so many stories.

Every subculture I loved was in New York City.

I could play chess all day and all night.

You know, that's one of the things about New York City is

I've done that.

I've gone out in the middle of the night or whatever and just walked around and you will come up across these places, these chess rooms, where these Russians are playing chess, and you can just sit down and play anybody.

And it's phenomenal.

And it's like that with everything in New York.

He said, I could go to comedy clubs.

I could start any type of business.

I could meet people.

I had family, friends, opportunities.

No matter what happened to me, New York was a net I could fall back on and bounce back up.

But now it's completely dead.

But New York City always bounces back, they say.

No, not this time.

But New York City is the center of the financial universe.

Opportunities will flourish here again.

No, not this time.

NYC has experienced worse.

No, it hasn't.

A Facebook group formed a few weeks ago that was for people who were planning a move and wanted others to talk to and advise, give them advice.

Within two or three days, it had 10,000 members.

Every day I see more and more posts.

I've been in New York City forever, but I guess this time I have to say goodbye.

Every single day I see those posts.

I've been screenshotting them from my scrapbook.

The three most important reasons to move to New York City, business opportunities, culture, and food, and of course, friends.

But if everything I say is even one-tenth of what I think, There won't be as many opportunities to make friends, and that equals business.

Midtown Manhattan, the center of business in New York City, is empty.

Even though people can go back to work, famous office buildings like the Time Life skyscraper is 90% empty.

Businesses realize they don't need to get their employees at the office.

In fact, they realize they're even more productive without everyone back in the office.

The Time Life building can handle 8,000 workers.

Now, it maybe has 500 workers back in the building.

What do you mean?

A friend of mine said when I told him Midtown should be called ghost town.

I'm in my office right now.

Really?

What are you doing there?

I asked.

Packing up.

Then he laughed.

Oh, yeah, I'm shutting it down.

He works in the entertainment business.

Another friend of mine works at a major investment bank as a managing director.

Before the pandemic, he was out at the office every day, sometimes working 6 a.m.

to 10 p.m.

He now lives in Phoenix, Arizona.

As of June, he told me, I've never been to Phoenix.

And then he moved there, and he does all of his meetings on Zoom.

I was talking to a book editor who's been out of the city since early March.

We've all been working fine.

I'm not sure why we would ever need to go back to the office again.

One friend of mine, Derek Halpern, was convinced he'd stay.

He put up a Facebook post the other day saying he might be changing his mind.

Derek wrote, In the last week, I've watched a homeless person lose his mind and start attacking random pedestrians, including spitting on, throwing stuff at, and swatting.

I've seen several single parents with a child asking for money for food, and then when somebody gave them food, they toss the food right back at them.

I watched a man yell racist slurs every single race of people while charging, then stopping before going too far.

And worse.

I've been living in New York City for 10 years.

It has definitely gotten worse, and there is no end in sight.

My favorite park is Madison Square Park.

About a month ago, a 19-year-old girl was shot and killed across the street.

I don't think I have an answer, but what I do think is clear, it's time to move out of New York City.

And I'm not the only one who feels this way either.

In my building alone, the rent has plummeted by 30%.

More people are moving away than ever.

So it's not goodbye yet, but a long-life New Yorker is thinking about it.

⁇

I pick his post out, but I could have picked dozens of others.

People say New York City has been through a lot worse and it always comes back.

No and no.

First, when has New York City been through worse?

Even in the 1970s and through the 80s, when New York City was going bankrupt, even when it was the crime capital of the U.S.

or close to it, it was still the capital of business world, meaning it was the primary place young people would go to build wealth and find opportunity.

It was culturally on top of its game, home to artists, theater, media, advertising,

publishing.

It was probably the food capital of the U.S.

New York City has never been locked down for five months.

Not in any pandemic, any war, financial crisis, never.

In the midst of the polio epidemic, when little kids, including my mother, were going paralyzed or dying, New York City didn't go through this.

This is not to say what should or should not have been done.

That part is over.

But now we have to deal with what is.

In early March, many people, not me, left New York when they felt it would provide safety from the virus, and they no longer needed to go to work, and all the restaurants were closed, and people figured, I'll go out for a month or two and come back.

But they're still gone.

Then, in June, during rioting and looting, a second wave of New Yorkers, this time me, left.

I have kids.

Nothing wrong with protests, but I was nervous when I saw videos of rioters after curfew trying to break into my building.

Many people left temporarily, but there were people living permanently.

Friends of mine moved to Nashville, Miami, Austin, Denver, Salt Lake, Austin, Dallas.

Now a third wave of people are leaving, but they might be too late.

Prices are down 30 to 50 percent on both rentals and sales, no matter what real estate agents tell you.

And rentals are soaring in the second and third tier

cities.

I can tell you this from first-hand experience.

If you are moving to someplace like Idaho or

Wyoming, I have family in both, and they are saying that right now, the real estate, you put your house up, it will sell sight unseen.

Here in Dallas, somebody,

some real estate agent I talked to, said they closed their second Zoom or Skype home.

That people are

moving so fast that people are just saying, just show it to me.

Just walk through it with me on your phone.

The real estate agent does, and they're like, good, I'll take it.

That's crazy.

That is crazy.

I'm temporarily, although maybe permanently, in South Florida now.

I also got my place sight unseen.

Robin was looking at listings around Miami, and then she saw an area we had never been to before.

We found three houses we liked.

She called the first real estate agent, place number one, just rented that morning, 50% higher than the asking price.

Place number two, also rented to New Yorkers.

Place number three, available.

We'll take it, we said.

The first time we physically saw it was when we flew down and moved in.

This is temporary, right?

I confirmed with Robin.

But I don't know.

I'm starting to like the sun a little bit.

I mean, when it's behind the shades, and I'm in air conditioning.

But let's move on for a second.

Businesses are remote, and they aren't returning to the office, and it's a death spiral.

The longer offices remain empty, the longer they'll remain empty.

In In 2005, a hedge fund manager was visiting my office and said, in Manhattan, you practically trip over opportunities in the street.

But now the streets are empty.

I co-own a comedy club, Stand Up New York, 78th and Broadway.

I'm very proud of the club.

I'm grateful for my fellow owners and my manager.

It's a great club.

We've been around since 86.

Before then, it was a theater.

One time, Henry Winkler stopped by to come on my podcast, and he was the one who told me it had been a theater.

He said, I grew up two doors down from here, used to perform there as a kid.

Then I went out to LA to be the Fons, and now I'm back here full circle to be on your podcast.

This place has history.

Things like that happen in New York.

We had a show in May.

It was an outdoor show.

Everybody social distanced, but we were shut down by the police.

I guess we were super spreading humor during a very serious time.

The club is doing something fun.

We're doing shows outside in the park.

It's a great idea.

In a time like this, businesses need to give to the the community and not complain.

Broadway is closed until at least spring.

Lincoln Center is closed.

All the museums are closed.

Forget about the tens of thousands of jobs lost in those cultural centers.

Forget even about the millions of dollars of tourist and tourist-generated revenues lost by the closing of those centers.

There are thousands of performers, producers, artists, the entire ecosystem of art, theater, production, curation that surrounds just those cultural centers.

People who have worked all their lives for the right to perform even once on Broadway, whose lives and careers are now on hold.

I get it, there was a pandemic, but the question is: what happens now?

What happens next?

And given the uncertainty, since there is no known answer, and given the fact that people, cities, economies loathe uncertainty, we don't know the answer, and that's a bad thing for New York City.

Right now, Broadway is closed until at least early 2021.

But is that true?

We don't know.

And what does it mean?

Will we only have 25% capacities?

Broadway shows can't survive on that.

Hot dog stands outside of Lincoln Center and outside on the streets, finished.

My favorite restaurant closed for good.

Commercial real estate, if building owners and landlords lose their prime tenants, storefronts, the bottom floor of the offices, the well-to-do office top floors, they go too, and they'll go out of business.

And what happens when they go out of business?

Actually, nothing, And that's the bad news.

People who would have rented, bought, and say, wow, everybody is saying New York City is heading back to the 1970s and the prices might be 50% lower than they were a year ago, but better safe than sorry.

I think I'll wait.

Then everyone waiting, prices go down.

So people see prices go down and say, good thing I waited.

But what happens if I wait even more?

This is called a deflationary spiral.

People wait, prices go down.

Nobody wins.

Because the landlords or owners go broke and less money gets spent in the city.

Nobody moves in, no motion in the market.

And people already owning in the area can afford to hang on, have to wait longer to return to their restaurants, their services that they were used to.

Will prices go down enough that everyone buys?

Maybe, maybe not.

There are also 600,000 college students spread out through New York City, from Columbia to Fordham to St.

John's.

Will they require remote learning?

Will kids even be on on the campus?

Yeah, but New York City always comes back.

I live three blocks from Ground Zero and 9-11.

Downtown, where I lived, was destroyed, but it came roaring back within two years.

And in 2008 and 2009, much suffering during the Great Recession, much again hardship, but things came roaring back.

But this time it is different.

You're never supposed to say this, but this time it's true.

If you believe this time is no different, that New York City is resilient, I hope you're right.

I don't benefit at all for saying this.

I love New York.

I was born there.

I live there forever.

I still live there.

I love everything about New York City.

I want 2019 back.

But this time it is different.

The difference is bandwidth.

We now have meetings on Zoom, 20 megabytes per second.

That's more than enough for high-quality video.

Before, we couldn't remotely work.

Now we can.

We are officially AB after bandwidth.

And for the entire history of New York City until now, we were before bandwidth.

It goes on, and I highly recommend that you listen to it, or you watch it, or read it.

It's from James Alcher, and he is a great, great podcaster.

This particular piece was written for LinkedIn,

and it is New York City is dead forever, and here's why.

It is a very sad thing.

New York is the problem with New York is it is a love-hate relationship with everyone who lives there.

You absolutely hate it because it's the worst of the worst and it's the most expensive and everything else, but you love it because there is truly no other city on earth like it.

There was a video posted, can we play this video?

There was a video posted

just the other day about New York City

and it shows the empty streets of New York City City.

And it is Fifth Avenue, block after block after block.

Everything is boarded closed, not because of COVID, but because of riots and looting.

It's now a very dangerous city, and nothing is going on.

There are no shops to go into, no museums, no shows.

You're just trapped in New York City.

It is not a good situation.

And unfortunately,

unfortunately, that's going to happen to a lot of our cities.

More in just a second.

First, we want to thank our sponsor.

Our sponsor is Goldline.

The Federal Reserve has absolutely nothing but our best interest in mind.

I mean, I completely trust them, don't you?

Yeah.

I don't know if you've heard about this or not, but the Federal Reserve is currently working with MIT to hypothetically develop a digital currency for them to play around with.

I mean, for them to manage the economy with.

I'm really not sure exactly when this is going to happen, but it is going to happen.

And it will make things, digital currency will make them able to do things like direct money transfer.

How great is that?

The Fed will just be able to wire money directly and instantly to Americans without any kind of middleman.

This is coming, and I'm going to show you in a few minutes why this is so dangerous and what it actually means.

On an unrelated note, by which I mean a very related note, gold continues to rise in value.

I'm about to tell you here that Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett's firm, just spent $700 million buying gold.

Why, when the stock market's doing so well?

Because they know they better hedge their bet.

Because gold is the last place that everybody goes when everything goes to hell and it's on its way to hell gang projections over three thousand dollars an ounce for gold you need to look to investing a portion of your portfolio into precious metals gold or silver and everybody in this audience can afford at least a couple of ounces of silver call goldline tell them you want to find out right now about their five dollar gold liberty coins which i have already invested in here recently in the last couple of months

tell them i sent you call goldline now at 866 Goldline.

That's 866Goldline or Goldline.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

You know, it's that kind of broadcasting that I think

is so exciting and so riveting and so well done that that's why I have been inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame this year.

I've

formally requested a recount on that, but so far,

no results.

Well, the Russians were involved.

They had to involve.

That is, the Russians were involved.

So I want to thank you if you voted for me.

And I want to thank you to all of the people.

The listeners counted for 123rd of the vote.

And then

there were 22 other people on the board that are in our industry that had to vote.

And it was an honor just to be nominated.

It really was, and it would have sucked to lose, especially to NPR.

But

I'm really grateful, and I can't wait until the ceremony in November.

All right,

I have to tell you about what's happening with the Fed and what's happening with

our money.

You know,

let me start here.

The Fed

is printing money like it's going out of style now.

And

they're taking the Federal Reserve, it's printing the money to buy U.S.

treasuries.

And the Fed only keeps treasury yields sufficient to offset inflation.

The rest is retained by the Treasury.

The Fed doesn't profit off of the U.S.

Treasury purchases.

But the idea is that the money pumped into the U.S.

government by the Fed won't won't cause inflation.

That's what they think.

That is ridiculous.

It's ridiculous.

But they say it's not because it doesn't enter the real or general economy when the government spends it or gives it away as welfare or reparations.

But again, what is it that that, or is that money going?

Where's that money going?

They give it away as welfare to, we would assume, a person.

And that person would theoretically spend it on something.

Correct.

I think that's how that works.

Or if they're going to do a stimulus package and they're going to hire a bunch of people to do road construction,

where does that money go?

Where does that money go?

Just fully embrace modern monetary theory here.

Exactly.

Not a conversation.

Exactly right.

And I'm going to explain that and our federal debt at $27 trillion.

$27 trillion

by the end of 2020.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Gosh.

All right.

Let me tell you about our sponsor, and we want to thank all of our sponsors for being so loyal to us and being here.

Real estate agents I trust is kind of like thanking myself because this is my business, but it is for you to get the right real estate agent for buying or selling a house.

And if you're moving to some place good,

From some place bad, you're going to need somebody who really knows the area.

If you're moving to, let's say, Texas, you've got to know that your real estate agent is on it because houses are selling lightning fast.

You can't be with somebody who's moonlighting as a real estate agent, etc.

etc.

And if you're in a bad place, if you're in New York City, you need the best real estate agent to help you get out of that without it being a bloodbath.

What I recommend is the free service to you.

Real estate agents I trust.

The name says it all.

These are the people that we have done our homework on six ways to Sunday to make sure that they're the best, in our opinion, in your area.

Go there now and work with the best of the best, realestate agentsitrust.com.

Go to Blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

The promo code is Glenn to watch the show of Radio Hall of Fame or whatever.

Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the Glen Beck program.

I want to talk to you about what our Fed and our treasury are doing, and it is really, really much worse than you think.

And I think you're starting to get a handle on

that we're not coming back.

I'm sorry, and I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news here,

but

somebody has to tell you the truth.

Normal is never coming back.

It's never coming back.

Or at least it's not for many, many, many years.

And I think James Altor

gave a great description of what's happening in New York.

It's just not coming back

because everything has changed.

Part of this is what I talked about, that great tech disruption that was coming.

I told you it would be coming in the next five years, and it just came through the coronavirus, where people were going to realize, wait a minute, we don't need all these jobs or we don't need to work in these cities, and it would be a giant disruption to the system.

And people, we would have, remember I said, 30 to 50% unemployment was coming in the next five years.

Well, we're at 11%, but they were predicting 35%.

So the disruption is happening now.

But what's about to come is much worse than what we've already seen because the medicine is far worse than the disease.

The CBO has now estimated that in 2018, the interest costs on our debt would consume all projected discretionary spending in dollars in a projected budget by 2026.

So this is what the CBO said in 2018, that by 2026, we would have no money in our budget except for the interest on the debt.

As of now, that number now is 2024,

but that number could come down if inflation heats up and interest rates spike up.

So as long as interest rates stay the way they are and inflation stays the way it is, we have until 2024.

Interest cost on the debt, even at hyper-low interest rates that we're seeing right now, is just shy of $600 billion.

That was in 2019 when the debt was $22 trillion.

By the end of this year, the federal debt will be around $27 trillion.

And current projections on interest cost will be $720 billion, so almost a trillion dollars just in interest.

Even including the Fed discount on interest costs, that's what you're looking at.

The total federal tax revenue is $2 trillion.

So the cost to service just the debt will consume 40% of income tax dollars collected

next year.

In 1971, that cost to service the debt was 2%.

It's now going to be 40 next year.

That's assuming everything goes well.

Interest costs then were 5%.

Today, the government gets to borrow from the Ze the Fed at 1.5% cost, but the cost to service is still consuming ever more of our federal budget.

We are now doing

modern monetary theory, with the exception

that the Fed is a private company.

They are not issuing sovereign currency.

It's the Fed.

So the losses at the Fed could actually put the Fed out of business, the underlying shareholders, these five big banks, remember the ones we've been bailing out.

That's the Fed.

And so we've been bailing them out, and they claim they're bailing us out.

If we issued a sovereign currency from the government, they could effectively print any amount of money they wished forever, with the resulting hyperinflation having the same effect as bankruptcy, because the purchasing power of the bills they'd be printing would end up having no real value to them.

And they'd just be turned back into, you know, starting fires or toilet paper or making blue jeans.

There's an article out now in Forbes that you should read, and it is correct.

If it is truly, all of it correct, the federal debt will reach $78 billion.

$78 billion

by 2028.

Sorry, $78

trillion.

I was going to say, that's great news.

$78 trillion.

$78 trillion.

Sorry, $78 trillion.

The cost to service that amount of debt will be close to the entire federal budget, about $2.8 trillion

just to pay the interest.

You want to talk about being a slave.

You get nothing from the federal government.

There is no opportunity to fix anything in our country.

And we all work as hard as we are now

just to service the debt.

And Wall Street wonders

why Warren Buffett just invested $700 million in gold.

It's pretty clear when will this be made clear so the average person

can

actually prepare.

On Wednesday, we have a a special coming up.

But before we go there, I want to go to Jason Buttrill.

Jason is our chief researcher.

Is he on the line?

Is he ready to go?

And Jason is here.

He's going to give us an update on what happened with the federal government and the investigation into the Russia scandal.

We were expecting big news, and it was kind of

lackluster unless you really kind of understand that it looks like he may be working with the government to give bigger names.

Jason, welcome to the program.

What happened, Friday?

Thanks, Glenn.

Yeah,

it does seem kind of lackluster.

We'll get to that in a second, but what's crazy lackluster was you really had to take this story back eight months ago when the DOJ Inspector General first brought out these significant inaccuracies and omissions, which when you read them, they sounded a lot worse than just inaccuracies and omissions.

Correct.

One of them was the case of FBI lawyer number two, which we now know is Kevin Kleinsmith.

He's the one that is pleading guilty to what the second

lackluster thing is, providing a false statement.

Now, when you go through the case, it's a heck of a lot more than just providing a false statement.

What he did was, is he got an email, he asked the CIA, said, hey, you know anything about Carter Page?

What's up with this guy?

And the CIA said, yeah, he's a good, good dude.

We use him for, he's an asset of ours.

He gives us information on Russians, all this stuff.

So you got to imagine the conversation in the the background.

FBA's like, wait a minute, no, no, no, we're making the case that he's an agent of Russia, not one of your agents.

So what Kevin Kleinsmith did was he altered the email that said he's an asset of the CIA to he's not an asset one of our assets.

He changed it.

He doctored evidence is what he did.

He didn't provide a false statement.

He doctored evidence so that they could spy on the Trump campaign.

That's what happened.

Are you seeing this in the media?

I hardly see this at all.

They're showing the lackluster

headlines.

That's all they're showing.

This was a big deal eight months ago.

It's a huge deal now.

So you got to wonder, why didn't they just indict him eight months ago?

Right.

Why didn't they just do that?

And

why is this being played down?

And why is it just,

why is it being made?

You know that Barr knows this is a very big deal.

So why are they dismissing this?

And he's pleading guilty.

Do you think that it was a plea and a plea bargain?

Absolutely think it was a plea bargain.

There's more evidence within the entire indictment that says that

Klein Smith provided the real email to multiple people in the FBI.

So when you think about that, when you're looking, so right now they haven't dinged him on conspiracy.

Now that's big.

When you get conspiracy, this is going to blow up.

And I think Durham already has it.

I really do.

Because once he delivered that information to everybody else, then you have multiple people.

That's where the conspiracy charge will come in.

So there's multiple other people that were involved.

They knew the true information that Carter Page was not an agent of Russia.

He was one of our agents.

They knew this.

So now, how many people will get tangled up in this whip?

That's why I believe you're getting this lackluster charge right now.

They could have dinged him for a lot, but tampering evidence.

That's what this was, not providing a false statement.

So what they're doing now, or what they have been doing, in my opinion, is they have been talking to him.

Who else is involved?

Who did you give this information for?

Where did it go from there?

Take us down this road.

I think all of that will be part of the Durham Report.

And I think this is just the first casualty in a very, very big.

Did you walk away thinking, because you and I have been afraid that only the little guys are going to get nailed?

Did you walk away from the charges on Friday thinking, oh, there's a chance this is going to really get some, some really, it'll get interesting here.

Some really big names might go.

I got to be honest with you, Glenn.

No, I do not.

I think that, again, it's the third-tier people that you talked about in the show not too long ago.

It's the people that you never heard of.

You know, it's the people like an attorney, Kevin Kleinsmith, who's heard of this guy.

He'll get dinged.

You'll get people like Peter Strzok.

You'll get people like that that will start to go down.

That crazy Russian guy that

the Steel dossier was using that was actually living here.

You're not going to see a Susan Rice.

You're not going to see a Susan Rice.

So I thought that she was actually going to be named VP to help insulate her.

Me too.

I still think that you won't, but I still still think she'll be insulated.

They got to get her in the cabinet.

If Biden and Kamala win, then they instantly bring her in, probably Secretary of State.

That makes sense.

Well,

if they win, this is all over.

Yeah.

Everybody gets away with it.

Yeah.

This is done.

Yeah.

Thank you very much, Jason.

I appreciate it.

So the media for now four years has been that Trump worked with the Russians to cheat in the 2016 election.

He tried to work with Ukraine later to dig up dirt on

Biden so he could cheat in this year's election.

That's what that impeachment was all about.

And

we know the truth on that.

And if you don't, go back and watch our specials on the election.

The overwhelming evidence points to exactly the opposite, that the Democrats were working with Russia and Ukraine to interfere in the 2016 election, and then some.

And

they first did it by promoting the disinformation in the steel dossier, which don't forget was opposition research paid for by the Hillary Hillary Clinton campaign.

Then there was the DNC contractor, Chalupa, soliciting

the Ukrainian embassy for dirt on Donald Trump and Paul Manafort.

But now they've got a different tact.

They are still saying that

Donald Trump is working with Russia and Russia is the real threat, not China.

China is fine.

But they're not only doing that, they have a new

game that they're playing.

First, they're pushing mail-in ballots as the only way to vote this November.

The only way you can vote is through these mail-in ballots.

Second, they're now pushing a narrative that Donald Trump is trying to kill off the U.S.

Postal Service so he can sabotage America's mail-in votes and steal the election.

The Democrats and the media

insist there are zero problems with voting by mail.

That is completely false and all of us know it.

But on Wednesday night, I'm going to show you the problems and the fraud that comes with universal mail-in voting and why Democrats are pushing this so hard.

It's a preview of the November nightmare that all of this could lead to.

And I just want to give you a taste of the supposedly non-existent fraud that Democrats and the media don't want you to know about.

When the House Democrats passed their HERES Act in May, it included a provision that would allow what's called ballot harvesting.

And yes, it's as bad as it sounds, where essentially paid activists can canvass neighborhoods to collect people's mail-in ballots.

It already happened in Florida in 2016 in Palm Beach.

Two Democrats running for office went door to door themselves helping people fill out their ballots and then collect them.

Be sure

there's no fraud at all with voting by mail.

That's Wednesday's special only on the Glenbeck television program on Blazetv.com.

Right now, you are doing everything you can to keep your head above water.

You're doing everything you can to keep your job going straight, keep your finances, keep your house, keep your family with the kids at home and school.

I mean, I don't know how you do it.

And you fight for your nation and the things that you believe in all that you can.

Here's something that you can do that takes you zero time.

Zero time.

Partner with businesses that are partnering with you on the things you care deeply about.

To support things like the next generation of freedom-loving Americans, to make sure that they have

enough information that their schools are not taken over, that the First Amendment isn't lost, the Second Amendment isn't lost.

Patriot Mobile right now is running a school day's promotion.

Until September 12th, you can choose either a free phone or a free month of service when you switch to America's only conservative cell phone carrier.

It's Patriot Mobile, and instead of charging you hidden fees, Patriot Mobile is going to donate a portion of your bill to students for life.

You're not going to get the same runaround.

You're not going to get the same

hidden bills and taxes and everything else.

You're just going to get the same reliable service, nationwide service, but you're going to get the support from a company that actually believes in the same thing.

And their support service is off the charts.

Just rated number one.

I don't remember by who, but

just rated number one as best service

in cell phone companies.

Switching is easy.

You can bring your own phone or get a new one, but work together on the things that really matter with Patriot Mobile.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Executive producer, Steve Regeer, is also with us.

Yeah, really concerned.

We've been talking a lot about it today, about voter fraud and the possibilities of mass voter fraud.

We've seen it happen with the Radio Hall of Fame vote that just went down.

where obviously Glenn Beck couldn't have possibly won, but he was announced as the winner.

It seems impossible to me.

You know, I've been looking into it.

I've been using Donald Trump as a scapegoat this whole time.

Nobody sees, I'm good friends with the Postmaster General.

Nobody saw this one coming.

They all blaming it.

Oh, it's the elections in November.

No, the real elections for November, Radio Hall of Fame.

And I am pleased to announce that I was nominated and I will be inducted this November.
