Don’t Bow to the Mob | Guests: Dan Bongino & Sheriff Grady Judd | 6/2/20

2h 4m
Glenn refuses to give in to the mobs declaring today “Blackout Tuesday.” Our online store is wide open! The media calls Trump weak and authoritarian for bunkering down in the White House. But former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino has a better perspective: Did Trump even have a choice? Trump has the right to mobilize the military to quell rioters, but should he? And he didn’t just tear-gas protesters without any warning. An Ohio cop explains how local leaders are scaring the police into inaction. BlazeTV’s Elijah Schaffer discusses why piles of bricks are showing up at protest sites. Polk County, Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd went viral for warning looters not to attack suburbs and encouraging residents to have their guns ready.

Good morning.

Thank you so much, Hillary.

I want to talk to you a little bit about American financing.

How many times a day would you say you pick up your phone and scroll through Facebook?

And, you know, just I'm going to just check one thing and then you end up on Facebook for 20 minutes.

A 10-minute phone call to American Financing would be time much

better spent.

It is time to call American Financing and refinance your home.

Save yourself a lot of money.

Take your credit cards that you're probably paying anywhere from 15 to 21 percent.

You'll never pay that off.

It's time to take that and roll it over

and make sure that you are paying the least amount to these banks and to the credit card companies.

You need to save money.

Now is the time to do it with American Financing.

AmericanFinancing.net.

That's AmericanFinancing.net.

Call them now.

800-906-2440 or AmericanFinancing.net.

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

This is the Glenn Beth Program.

Hello, America, and welcome to the program.

So I hear it's Blackout Tuesday, where people are standing in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and with this movement that is burning our country down to the ground.

Well, I'm going to go another way.

I'm going to talk to you about all of the products that we have today at shop.theblaze.com.

I'm going to talk to you about all of the great things you can get and urge you to buy today.

I'll explain in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Alrighty then.

Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Relief Factor is the way to get out of pain.

At least it was for me.

70% of the people who try Relief Factor go on to order more month after month.

You're not doing that if it doesn't work.

I have talked to so many people that have gotten off of prescription drugs and oxycodone and all of that stuff because this was the first thing that actually worked for them beside the oxycodone, which I contest does not really work.

It just makes you not care about the pain.

It's like, oh, I'm on fire.

Huh.

I should do something about that.

This actually allows you to get your life back.

This is not a drug.

It was developed by doctors and it reduces the inflammation that causes most of our pain.

I want you to go to relieffactor.com or call 800-500-8384.

800-500-8384.

It's relief factor.com.

Hello, America.

So, I want to talk to you a little bit about, first of all, what I saw in the papers today or online, the Huffington Post, Occupy Democrats, tin pot dictator Donald Trump reinforces White House compound with federal troops and hides in bunker as America burns.

First of all, let me just say this:

when you are the President of the United States, there's one thing that you don't control, and that is your own safety.

When the Secret Service says you're going, you're going.

You don't believe me?

We'll talk to a Secret Service agent here in a minute.

These guys are trained to pick the President up by the belt and move him quickly.

And it's the one time, the only time, really, that the President can be restrained and he can say, I'm the president, damn it.

It doesn't matter.

If the Secret Service believe there is a danger, and gee, there was a danger, wasn't there?

I think there were 50 Secret Service agents that were injured when the President went to the bunker.

I don't know.

I think if you have 50 Secret Service agents go down or are injured around the White House protecting the president, I think the President probably should be in the bunker.

But it's good to see the Huffington Post run to that very credible source, Occupy Democrats.

Then you have NPR, police tear gas peaceful Americans for Trump Bible stunt in latest proof.

He's the dictator we thought he was.

Really?

He's the dictator.

Let me say this.

First of all, on the dictatorship,

Donald Trump has done absolutely everything the opposite.

And I have to tell you, because I told you I would.

This is what I predicted back in 2015 or 16.

I said that there would be a depression.

There would be a collapse and a depression the last year of his presidency.

And this guy would be more FDR than FDR himself.

Now, I told you that if I was wrong, I would tell you

this is the one thing that was left on my bucket list of Donald Trump things that he was going to do.

Well, he hasn't done it.

He's in fact done the opposite.

The dictators have been the Democrats and the Democrats who are all local.

What are the odds?

What are the odds that

out of the 26 cities, the major cities that were on fire and are still on fire, what are the odds that only one of them

is

a Republican?

That the cities are run by a Republican.

Only one

out of the 26 cities.

Hmm.

Gee,

that seems kind of coincidental, doesn't it?

We now know, and I'll give you this in a minute.

We now know these are organized.

And who do you think they're organized by?

Do you think they're organized by the Salvation Army?

Or maybe the army called Antifa and

their usual suspects of Occupy Democrats and the Bernie Sanders bros, all of the people who have been calling for violence.

Vox, White House officials refuse to deny Trump ordered chemical weapons banned from warfare on peaceful protesters outside White House prior to Photo Op.

Chemical weapons?

Do you mean pepper spray?

Because I'm not sure.

I mean, I'm sure technically that falls into chemical weapons, but I don't think pepper spray

is accepted by the average person as chemical weapons.

Nice job.

New York Times far-right and white supremacist group agitate online for Civil War II or the great Boogaloo following George

Floyd protest, despite the fact

the source they quote finds, I have not seen any clear evidence that white supremacists or militiamen are masking up and going out to burn and loot.

Good thing

the Southern Poverty Law Center is on this one for the New York Times.

IceCube has now tweeted, will Trump be the first U.S.

President to nuke an American city?

You know, if your name is Ice Cube, I don't think I care.

Daily Mail in the UK, bricks and bottles found stashed at riot flashpoints could have been planted by police or right-wing extremist groups.

CNN, right-wing terrorist organizations, 10 times more likely to kill Americans than left-wing ones.

You know, may I ask you, if you know history, CNN, which I clearly know you either don't

or you are just mangling history, you'll see that it is always the left-wing in America.

It is the violence on the streets that come from the left.

in America.

They've killed more people than any of the extremists on the right.

But I'm not defending right-wing extremists.

I don't want to be around right-wing

extremists.

I don't want to be around people who say this is a white country only.

I condemn that.

But here's what I'm not going to do today.

I am not going to bow down to the mob in the street or the mob

in

social media.

The social social media mob that is making everybody feel like they have to say something.

They have to take a stand on this.

You know, I was talking to my producers about 40 minutes ago as we were getting ready to go on the air, and I said, I am not qualified to talk to America.

Today,

I feel exactly like you do.

I am just a citizen like you.

I'm nothing more.

And I'm looking at this situation saying, okay, what is the best thing I can do?

What is it that I need to say to the American people?

What do they need to hear?

And what do we do to make sure that we

aren't falling into some sort of trap?

And then I thought to myself, you know,

I don't really give a flying crap about traps.

I don't really care.

If I lose my job because I'm something that the the mob online doesn't like, so be it.

So be it.

I am not going to black out my social media.

I am not going to respond to those on social media.

If you choose to black out and

make sure that you don't post anything today,

good for you.

Sincerely, for you.

I'm not going to bow down to the pressure of the mob.

They don't want us to sell anything today.

And you're going to get all kinds of heat if you do sell anything today.

Well, I just want you to know the shop.theblaze.com is open for business.

And we have all kinds of stuff for you to buy.

Pat is with me now.

Pat,

you've got more on trivia t-shirts.

Yes, I do.

Those are fantastic.

Yes.

Yeah.

Very popular.

So we've got that.

We have a

pretty new one that people seem to like, which simply says, I don't know, ask Cardinal Joe Tobin of Newark, which we explained last week.

I love that one.

I do like the t-shirt.

I do like the t-shirt.

Andrew Cuomo is just awful.

Yes, that's a stew t-shirt.

Yeah, I love that.

It's awesome.

Making the Apocalypse Fun since 2017 is available on Shop.theblaze.com.

So there's lots of different products, lots of different apparel.

There's

Glenn Beck mugs, there's Steven Crowder mugs, Chad Prather shirts and

hats, there's Dave Rubin stuff up there.

So whoever you really like,

just go ahead and

go to

shop.theblaze.com.

And I'm really not doing this because I make any money on it.

I'm really doing it just to say to the mob, I don't care.

I don't care.

I am clear.

What happened to George Floyd was wrong.

It was awful.

I'm glad the police officer is in jail.

I'm glad there's a federal investigation on this.

And I think the investigation should continue and should look at those who were around him and did nothing.

If they saw him do this, if they understood what was happening, they also should go to jail.

I'm very clear on this.

Equal justice, not preferred justice for one group or another, but equal justice.

And the black community

has been abused for

long enough in America.

We have made great progress, and I believe most of our police officers are good.

However, some of our police departments do tow the blue line and they don't get rid of people that should be gotten rid of.

Those people need to be fired.

If they have a problem, if they are part of this, if they are racist, the police officers on the force need to rat them out and get them fired.

They need to go away.

We have to be able to trust our police.

Period.

Now,

don't tell me what I have to do.

Don't tell me that I can't sell something or I have to comment on social media one way or another because you don't control me.

That, my friend, is fascism.

Not what the president said that he was going to do last night.

That has been done by president after president.

Oh, by the way, That was done through the Insurrection Act of 1807.

And it has been used with the Rodney King riots, and it's going to be used again by Donald Trump.

But the time that it was most effective was quashing the KKK,

a terrorist group.

When the KKK sets out and puts on masks, there is no difference between what they intend to do than what Antifa intends to do.

They are both terrorist organizations.

And what is the goal of a terrorist organization?

To shut you up or to change your behavior by force or fear.

So screw you, Antifa.

Screw you.

Anybody who says, oh,

you got to shut up.

You can't say those things.

You have to say this today.

You have to not say anything today.

You have to sell or not sell today.

No, thank you.

I'm out.

Back in a minute.

All right, let me tell you about Life Lock.

Here's something to ponder.

Recently, a hacker group called the Shiny Hunters claimed to have breached 10 companies and is now selling the user databases on the dark web marketplace for illegal products.

Those companies range from an online dating app to a food delivery service to online stores and newspapers.

The The listed databases hold 73.2 million user records, which are now being sold for about $18,000 each.

So

you want to have your life controlled by people who are doing things on the dark web?

Life Lock, Life Lock will help stop all of that.

They're the major leader in identity theft protection.

They're the ones that you need if you're going to protect yourself against cyber criminals like the shiny hunters when they go after all of your information.

Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft, but these guys are the best in the business.

And the thing I like about them is they have somebody to help you fix it should things go wrong.

10-second station ID.

I really want to invite you to have your voice be heard today.

I'd like to hear from you at 888-727-BECK.

I'd like to hear from you if your business has been taken from you

from the rioting.

I'd like to hear from the cops that are out on the street.

I don't know how you're doing it.

I really don't know how you're doing it.

My hat's off to the police officers.

I'd like to hear from you if you're just like I am in a small little town.

I'm in a town of about 500 people.

And I think everybody's kind of looking at this and scratching their head and saying, what the hell is happening?

I'd like to hear from you if you are, you know, anywhere near this.

One of our producers lives just a couple of blocks away from where all the looting is, and

she's got her pistol on her bedstand and

on her kitchen table.

She's carrying it with her

wherever she goes in the house because she feels unsafe in the house.

I'd like to hear from you, 888-727-BECK.

Also, on Thursday, I'm doing a special broadcast that will be available for Blaze subscribers on the platform.

So it will be on demand only, but it will be live and on demand, but not on the regular.

You won't be able to see this on

Pluto or anything else because it's going to be live at Blazetv.com.

I'm also going to make it available on YouTube because I think it needs to be heard on Thursday, June 4th.

And we'll give you the time as we get closer here later this week.

I'm going to be talking to Davis Harris Jr.

David is the author of Why I Couldn't Stay Silent, One Man's Battle as a Black Conservative.

Ray Johnson, he is a 25-year-old doctoral African-American student who has been marching with the Black Lives Matters, except he says, I know they're good cops and bad cops.

What we're trying to do is get the good cops to help us get the bad cops out, and

he's interesting.

Sheriff Chris Swanson, he's the guy who was brave enough when he started to see things get a little bit out of control, took off his shield and put down the baton and said, let's just talk.

and really change things in Flint, Michigan.

Dave Rubin is going to be joining us as well.

Sam Arnold, he's a university professor of political science.

He passionately defends economic and political theories of the left.

And Carlin Borisenko, a psychologist who is completely unafraid to call out either side the way she sees it.

She says, everyone in politics is being dishonest.

We just want to have a conversation about

what's really going on and how we get past this.

It will be live.

it's a uh

it's a kind of a uh a dinner a virtual dinner that we've done this before but usually face to face uh but we're gonna we're just gonna jump on zoom uh and

and have a conversation and you are more than welcome in fact you're encouraged to attend that is on thursday

So how was your night, Pat?

I spent part of it loading up my magazines with bullets.

Just in case.

Just in case.

I did.

Yeah, I did.

You did?

Loaded up every magazine I had, made sure that there was

plenty of ammo.

Because

they've warned us we're coming to the suburbs.

And so if you come into my house, just know that I've got full magazines.

And this is a pretty good indication of why magazines need more than six bullets in them.

Because if 30 people are attacking you and your family at your house,

you're going to need plenty of ammunition.

Did you see that people are arming themselves all over the country?

They're going out.

A liquor store in California actually used an AR-15 to protect his property from looters in Los Angeles.

And there's been a massive spike in gun and ammunition sales.

The background checks break all of the May records.

Did you see

the sheriff in Polk County, Florida?

Did you hear his

stuff?

I think he's going to be on today.

That's good stuff.

Sheriff's going to be on Judd, I believe his name is, right?

Sheriff Judd.

Yeah, and he's the guy who said, blow them out the back door if

they're coming into your house.

I highly recommend.

Yeah, here it is.

We have received information in social media that some of the criminals were going to take their criminal conduct into the neighborhoods.

I would tell them if you value your life, you probably shouldn't do that in Polk County

because the people of Polk County like guns.

They have guns.

I encourage them to own guns and they're going to be in their homes tonight with their guns loaded.

And if you try to break into their homes to steal,

to set fires,

I'm highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns.

That's amazing.

So leave the community alone.

A great event.

For

him.

Yep.

More in a minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We have Dan Bongino on to talk about the president here in just a second.

Standby for that.

My Pillow wants you to know that they

love you and they are appreciative of everything that you have done for their company

and

they want to remind you that they are there to give you a great night's sleep.

I brought

my pillow with me to the ranch here where I'm staying for a couple of weeks.

And

I've never brought a pillow.

I mean,

I don't think all pillows are created

equal,

but I will tell you that this is a pillow that I never thought I would like, and now I can't sleep without it.

It is a great pillow.

Well, of course, CNN is talking about the White House bolstering its defenses.

CNN reported that it was bolstering the White House defenses like authoritarian countries do.

Pat, tell me the last time you heard of 50 Secret Service agents hurt in any kind of confrontation.

That was the 15th of Never.

I'm pretty sure.

Right?

I don't think I've ever heard of that.

I never

ever heard of that.

And the president doesn't decide when he goes

to the bunker.

It's my understanding.

But somebody who does know this is Dan Bongino, the host of the Dan Bongino show, and a former Secret Service agent that was on the presidential detail at the White House for Barack Obama.

Hello, Dan.

How are you?

Go ahead.

Good to talk to you.

Yeah, you're right.

That analysis is correct.

Okay, so

first of all, tell me the last time you heard of any story with 50 Secret Service agents killed at any time in American history, or not killed, but injured.

Never.

I mean, I can recall being at G7's, you you know, UNGA, U.N.

General Assemblies up in New York where we've, you know, there was a WTO where we've had, you know, here and there at perimeters, we've had people injured, things thrown at them, bottles generally.

But even overseas, where we were over in Georgia, I wasn't on that trip, but I was in the training center at the time.

That time where they threw the grenade at President Bush.

I don't know if you remember that one.

Even then, the injury count of the agents and staff and everyone was far less than what we saw at at this insurrection at the White House.

Listen, Glenn, that was not a protest.

It should have been, and it could have been.

There were obviously legitimate gripes here that should be aired.

But that's not what that was.

This is an insurrection.

It was a riot.

And I can tell you from sources of mine that were there, more than credible and unimpeachable, that the attack on the White House, and that's what it was over a period of days, was very organized.

It was done using very strategic tactics.

They were using this kind of lift and shift model where they would hit a certain point, get the officers there, get the Secret Service Uniform Division there, and then when they got them in one spot, they would move to another spot trying to sense the Achilles heel.

This is not the stuff, Glenn, of a bunch of like, you know, two-bit criminals who just found themselves at the White House on a Saturday and Sunday night.

I want to be crystal clear.

This was organized by Antifa terrorists.

It's not a joke.

It's not hyperbole.

These were people committed to an insurrection that was thankfully put down.

So, Dan, let me go, before we get back into all of that, let me go back to the other.

They're saying that, you know,

he was a coward for hiding in the bunker, et cetera, et cetera.

Does the president have a right to say no when the Secret Service says, you have to move now, Mr.

President?

Well, let me give you the textbook, and then let's throw out the textbook and talk reality so the textbook answer that is no he doesn't have the right to say no um the secret service has the authority under title 18 u.s code 3056 to protect the president however they they deem necessary um here's the real world he's the president of the united states and and i always refer back when questions like this come up to that uh dopey movie was it the american president or something michael j fox is the chief of staff yeah and marches well i want to get out and uh and and jump out here and say hello to some people.

And he says something like, you know, there's no jumping, Mr.

President.

If the president wants to get out and jump out and say hello to people, he's going to do it.

I can't tell you how many times we told President Bush and President Obama, it's probably not a good idea that you do this, and they do it anyway.

I mean, I can only recall one situation where they shut the president down when they told him we are absolutely not going to do this.

So, you know,

if he says, well, I'm not going, they're probably not going to take him.

Having said that, in a situation like that, where there was very little doubt amongst those people they were trying to storm that White House, I think they would have overrode in there and said, Mr.

President, we're really sorry.

You can punish us later for this, but we've got to go.

He did not make that call.

Dan, you know that I'm protected by Gavin DeBecker and associates, and you know who they are, I'm sure.

And there is a difference between when they say, we highly recommend, we really don't want you to, and I can override them.

But there are also times that I have been where they have picked me up by my pants, like the president, and thrown me into the car

and said, I'm sorry, you're not doing it, or we're not protecting you.

We will not guarantee your safety on this.

We won't protect you.

And we've gone to war zones and everything else.

But there has been a couple of times where they said, no, and I had no choice unless I wanted to fire all of them,

which, you know, I didn't.

The president can't fire the Secret Service.

They do have the right.

And if 50 Secret Service men and women were injured, they're at the White House trying to protect the White House.

I got to believe they walked in and said, I don't care what you're saying, Mr.

President.

50 Secret Service agents have just been injured.

You're in the bunker.

Yeah.

And yeah, you're right.

And just to double down on what you're talking about here, number one, the president is one of the few protectees who cannot, what we call the Secret Service, sign off.

Other protectees, foreign dignitaries, they can sign off.

They can literally sign a piece of paper saying, I don't want you guys here, whatever.

I'm going out to party on a Saturday night.

I don't want you around.

And the Secret Service can say, okay,

there's a paper.

They sign it.

And that's the end of it.

The President of the United States cannot do that.

He has no authority, even himself, to sign off none.

Zero, number one.

And number two, you're right.

You have a private security team.

It's very good, but they have professional liability standards too, Glenn.

If you said, listen, I want to walk into this serial murderer's house on a Saturday night while he's high on drugs, and I'd like you guys to, and they say, hey, that's a really bad idea, they're not going to let you do it because they'd be humiliated when you get murdered.

They'd be on the front page of your don't be security firm, let's Glenn Beck get himself killed.

They're not going to do that.

So in a situation like Sunday, Saturday night, where we're looking at a darn insurrection at the White House, I don't blame the Secret Service one bit for saying, Mr.

President, we really got to go.

And shame on the media, by the way, for painting this as some kind of situation where Trump ran like a coward.

You know what he said yesterday?

He said, Fellas, hold my beer.

You think I'm going to sit in the White House?

I'm going to take my ass.

I'm going to show you the stones I do have.

And whether you like this guy or not, I'm going to walk across the street in the middle of a riot in the middle of D.C.

and I'm going to show you whose streets these really are.

They're ours, the American people.

They're not the streets of the rioters.

He's getting heat for that because they used, they're actually calling tear gas chemical weapons, that he used chemical weapons on that crowd of protesters without any warning, which we know for a fact is not true.

We know people that were there, and they say that there were two warnings issued.

Warning,

evacuate the area, evacuate the area,

or you will be confronted with tear gas.

So they warned people.

And the president, if he's got to go someplace, he's going someplace.

And I don't think that was a problem at all.

I don't, yeah, and I candidly don't give a rat's ass anymore what the media says.

They're actually putting the president of the United States and government figures in danger.

You may say, oh, my gosh, damn, that's rough to say.

Is it really?

Let me tell you something.

If they did not report on this bunker incident and it just either kept the lid on it or reported on it responsibly, saying, hey, the Secret Service Service made a security call to remove the president of the bunker.

Instead of writing stupid articles like, the president runs in shame to the bunker, which is totally false and made up, Glenn, ironically, by writing like that, they incentivize the president to go out and say, listen, now we have to do some kind of symbolic show of war, so we're going to lose the White House.

They don't understand, like, because they're not smart.

They're morons.

These are imbeciles with double-digit IQs who are only in this to aggravate an already bad situation.

And it's a shame because they're really incentivizing this kind of stuff to happen.

They don't even see their role in it.

So, Dan, you came to me when I was on Fox.

Can I tell this story?

Have we told this story before?

Yeah, of course.

My gosh, that was so long ago.

That was great.

So long ago.

Yeah.

And you were there at the White House during Obama, and you came to me during a show.

And I remember coming over to shake your hand and say hello.

And you said in the break, I'm leaving leaving the White House because I'm watching you and I know I'm seeing everybody watching in the White House and I know what you're saying is true.

You were there.

Can you talk a little bit about ObamaGate and

what we're probably not going to even care about at the end of this summer that we should care about?

I think I said on your show, a video, I'm pretty sure because the thing want nuclear, like, sorry, this has to be maybe eight, nine years ago.

I'm almost positive it was your show, where I warned that the problem with the Obama administration was he was surrounded by sycophants who wouldn't tell him what he couldn't do.

And when you combine that, and you may say, and listen, to be fair here, every administration has sycophants.

You may say, even the administration now, everyone does.

The problem with the Obama administration, I think the warning I gave on your show is when you combine that with this toxic stew, Glenn, of media permissibility where the media, in contrast with Obama, everything he did was okay,

you invite a Lord Acton scenario where power corrupts and what do they say, all great men are

bad men.

You have a bad guy, Obama, with I think bad motivations, who had no control mechanism.

There was no choke points for his behavior.

And ObamaGate, at the end, I had left the Secret Service by the time Obamacape was happening.

But from my sources and the books I wrote about it, who were feeding me information about what happened, my FBI guys, it is the biggest scandal in American history and it's a direct result of the media refusing to call out the President of the United States for abusing and weaponizing the powers at his discretion.

It was a shame.

What he did is disgraceful.

So is there a possibility that it is this same deep state that is supporting?

I mean, I look at, you know, George Soros and the State Department and the riots going all the way back to the Arab Spring that they helped produce

and topple different governments.

This is taking the same kind of course.

Is there a chance that the deep state is involved in this at all?

You know, it's funny.

We didn't plan this.

I didn't talk to you before the show, but I'm actually writing a different book, and I don't even want to, I'm not even going to tell you that because I'm not interested, but I just want to put this out there.

I'm done with it.

I actually finished the, and the book is about following this deep state money trail.

And it's interesting you bring up Soros.

You know, everybody's, oh, my gosh, you can't talk about.

No, no, I will.

I'll talk about whatever the hell I want.

You can kiss my ass.

I'm not listening to any leftist media narrative.

No, I'm dead serious.

Like, I give exactly.

No, I know you are.

No, yeah, I don't.

I mean, I'm not going to be media matters lunatics.

I actually have the documents and a money trail showing.

that the same people, Glenn, in this deep state that the left says doesn't exist, involved in the spygate thing and the advancement of false narratives emanating from Ukraine and elsewhere.

Trump's a spy.

He's colluding with the Russians.

You know, he's from the Goldfinger James Bond movies.

Oh, my gosh.

The same exact people were involved in the impeachment hoax.

The same people.

It's on paper.

Just look at the documents.

It's on paper.

But the media will never tell you that story because when you bring up Soros, oh my gosh, George Soros, oh, this is, you can't bring up.

No, I'll bring up whatever the hell I want.

And that's in the book.

So your assertion there is entirely accurate.

It is the exact same people.

They have, they're all over.

Their fingerprints are on everything.

And it's really gross that the media won't get their heads out of their collective rear ends and report on this.

Well, I think they're part of it.

I think they would rather have a world with Antifa than a world with Donald Trump and people who go to church.

That's the way it feels, at least.

Dan Bongino.

Have you seen their covering for them?

I mean, it's gross.

I

I know.

Dan Bongino, great to have you on.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Welcome to the program.

Glad you're here.

A Wisconsin man

has

an interesting idea on ways to control these riots.

On Saturday,

he went to

a protest, really,

with his solution.

He brought his solution on a trailer.

Now,

this protest had about 100 people there.

And

he said, I've got a backup plan in case the police can't control it.

And so what he brought was 12 crates of bees that were on the back of a trailer, and he put them in a parking lot near the protest.

And

he claimed that they were riot control bees,

and they were in their holding yard waiting to clear the streets of Janesville and keep peace in this country.

He said, I'm willing to bring them in and kick them over if things get out of control.

He said, I'm just here for the police.

It's just a backup plan for the riot control bees.

So,

I don't know if

they're official papered

riot control bees, but I've seen horses

on airplanes lately because they're emotional support animals.

So, who are you to judge the riot control bees?

Wow.

Wow.

All right.

Coming up, the president calls out the National Guard.

Can he do that?

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, yes, he can.

But should he?

I have a kind of a different idea.

So what's the number one sign of a bad home security system?

A home security system that is so complicated that you never use it.

That is exactly the type of security system that SimplySafe has spent a decade fighting against.

They believe that simpler is safer.

And it's exactly why SimplySafe is the home security for right now.

When feeling safe safe at home has never been more important, SimplySafe is there.

SimplySafe was designed to be easy to use while protecting your whole home 24-7.

Nobody's coming to your house.

You open a box, place the sensors up, plug it in, and your home is protected around the clock.

No technician, no salespeople.

They don't disrupt your life.

This is why SimplySafe was named Best Overall Home Security of 2020 by U.S.

News and World Report.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

So glad that you've joined us today.

We have got quite an hour for you.

I want to talk to you about the Insurrection Act of 1807 because I just think that's...

Sorry, I fell asleep there in the middle of that sentence.

People are asking, can the president send in troops troops into

a state that the governor says, I don't want those troops?

Yes, actually, he can.

Constitutionally, he can because of

that law

in 180.

I've got to avoid that topic.

But he can do it.

And we'll tell you how and why.

But I have a different opinion.

I have another question.

Should he do it?

Should he send those troops into states where the governors say, nah, let it burn?

Should he do it

in 60 seconds?

This is the Glen Beck program.

My gosh.

And it is the Glenn Beck program.

That's what's so crazy about this every day.

I think we can agree.

Home security, kind of important right now.

Pat told me about an hour ago that you were literally at home home putting bullets

into my magazine.

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

And good for you for using the word magazine and not clips.

Thank you.

So good for you.

So you got them all loaded up?

I did.

Yeah.

Every magazine I have is full of bullets.

All I have to do is stick it into the AR-15 now.

And it's ready to rock.

Right now, there are liberals who are waking up and going, Jeez, I got to get one of those.

Can I use Time Magazine?

And I'll just

put them in the middle of Time Magazine and then throw them at the

home security now is really, really

important.

I want you to please check out Simply Safe.

It's designed to be easy to use, but also incredibly effective at protecting your whole home 24-7.

You can order online with a click of a button.

You can open the box.

You place the sensors.

You plug it in.

And now your home is protected.

For 50 cents a day, without any contract or anything else, 50 cents a day, it'll get the monitoring that you have been looking for, and it will get the monitoring where they will be able to verify what's going on in your house.

So the police will actually arrive in the average time, I think it's seven minutes, where the average time of an alarm going off at somebody else's house that doesn't have SimplySafe is about 43 minutes.

SimplySafe.com, simplysafe.com.

Go there now.

Make sure you let them know that the Glenn Beck program sent you.

SimplySafebeck.com.

Go there today.

Oh, yeah, man.

Just trying to get some monies.

You know what I'm saying?

So

I watched a video from New York last night.

I mean, the news is not giving you the news.

You just watch some raw video from, you know, people's Facebook feeds or Twitter feeds or whatever, and you will see what's really going on.

It's amazing.

We would not have any idea if we didn't have social media, if we didn't have people, they quite frankly are dumb enough to tape themselves doing it.

Now, yesterday, the president said this from the Rose Garden.

The following following measures are going into effect immediately.

First, we are ending the riots and lawlessness that has spread throughout our country.

We will end it now.

Today, I have strongly recommended to every governor to deploy the National Guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets.

Mayors and governors must establish an overwhelming law enforcement presence until the violence has been quelled.

If a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them.

Good for you.

Good for you.

This is not the act of a fascist.

What this is, is a president using the act of 1807.

It's the Insurrection Act, and it has been used time and time again.

One of the most important times that it was used was used to protect African Americans.

It was heavily used right after Lincoln died during Reconstruction to send American troops down to make sure that the Klan was stopped, that people could vote.

Well, the governors didn't want the U.S.

troops there.

Well, the president at the time issued the order based on the insurrection order because

they were causing insurrection.

They're not obeying the laws, and the governors aren't doing anything about it.

So this is a federal law, and they enforced it with federal troops.

So

can he actually do it?

The answer is yes.

But let me give you a couple of stories and then ask you a different question.

Let's go.

Let's start

here.

Just give me some of the headlines.

Governors back massive protests after months of banning large gatherings.

Now,

Andrew Cuomo said, I stand behind the protesters and their message.

Okay.

You're not letting anybody go out into the streets into groups because of COVID.

Now maybe it's that they know that all of these people are going to be wearing masks, but I highly doubt it.

He went on and said yesterday that what the president did was despicable, and the president doesn't have a right to it, and he doesn't want any of these federal troops in New York.

Now the president just said if the governors don't do it, he will.

My question is should he?

Should he?

Or should he let these cities burn to the ground and let the governors face the people?

I think the president should be very clear.

Andrew Cuomo said he didn't want any help.

Americans in Manhattan, I want you to know we're there for you.

But I am not going to be called a dictator for doing this.

And that's exactly what would happen.

Enough is enough.

You stand up to your governor and you tell him enough is enough.

And I will come in and protect.

But somebody has got to be held accountable.

I seem to be the only one ever held accountable for anything.

He's got to be held accountable.

So you want to change something?

You tell him.

When you get him to talk to me, I'll go in.

Now, that's not the best thing to do as a president because you are abandoning all of those good Americans.

But I have a feeling that most of those people in New York City are good Americans that would want this to stop.

And they want an easy way.

They'll tolerate the troops

because they want the safety, but they will bash Donald Trump every step of the way because he did it.

But secretly, they want those troops there.

Nobody wants to be in danger.

So why should the president take the heat for it?

By the way, speaking of New York, I don't know if you saw,

there was Chiara B who was arrested on Saturday night in one of the protests.

She was part of one of the real bad protests.

It was at 12th Street and Broadway, a hotspot.

Police cars were burned there.

People were throwing and yelling and fighting with the cops.

Thousands of people in the area at the time.

A few arrests were made.

One of them was Chiara B.

She gave her address as 181 East End Avenue.

That's Gracie Mansion.

Her last name, Chiara

de Blasio.

So de Blasio's daughter is

championing this.

She's part of this.

The very next day, De Blasio warns, change is coming in this city.

Change is coming.

Okay.

All right.

So you're happy with this, de Blasio?

I say, let it burn.

Yeah, and he actually said he was incredibly proud of his daughter.

And

here she is throwing stuff.

She's seen throwing stuff at police.

Unknown objects, they said.

So I don't know what it was she was throwing at them, but he's proud of that.

I hope they weren't feminine products because there's a lot of people that can't afford those.

Right.

Being a rich, rich person in a position of power should not just be throwing those away.

That's a really good point.

Really good point.

Thank you.

I mean, you talk about the chaos and the anarchy of a mayor's daughter participating in anarchy, and it's kind of troubling.

So it's really tempting to say let it burn, but that hurts America if New York is burned down.

No, if you, but I don't think it would.

You have too many companies there that would go and put the heat on de Blasio and Cuomo and say, you got to stop this.

They're burning our national headquarters.

You have to stop.

By the way,

well, they'll only get the this is the problem.

They'll only get the ones that are really, really racist, like CNN.

You know, CNN,

they've run the living black in America, I can't breathe.

They did that special.

Of course, the next day, they were vandalized in

Atlanta, and protesters

kind of used the CNN stand as a place to mount their rally.

So they must not have seen the special.

The AFL-CIO, however, has been tweeting in this house, we will continue to fight for economic, social, and racial justice with every fiber in our being.

Unfortunately, the AFL-CIO headquarters that was a block north of the White House was ransacked.

There was fire in the lobby.

The windows were all smashed out.

The sprinklers went on, and lo and behold, you couldn't get any firemen to this area.

So,

you know, it's weird because you would think these particular protesters would read Twitter, and so they would know the AFL-CIO is on their side.

Then, Amazon, of course,

the inequitable and brutal treatment of black people in our country must stop.

Together, we stand in solidarity with the black community, our employers, customers, and partners, in the fight against systematic

racism and injustice.

Unfortunately, Amazon trucks are being looted

by these rioters, and

I don't think they understand that Amazon is on their side.

They don't seem to.

Yeah.

So I think it would only be the conservative banks and the conservative companies that would be putting pressure on de Blasio to stop the madness.

I don't know if you saw, there was a video out last night that was posted.

I think we have it at Glenback.com.

It's amazing to watch.

It's like 25 minutes of just people looting

jewelry stores and

the foot locker.

It's crazy what's going on in New York.

If I lived in New York,

I wouldn't feel comfortable going out at night, which also,

I would like to point out,

all of the tea party rallies, they all happen during the day.

Why aren't any of these protests happening during the day?

Why is it always after dark?

Because really nothing good happens after dark.

Why is it all of these are marching at darkness instead of, like Martin Luther King, marching in the daytime where you would tie up traffic or whatever because you had a parade route?

Why are all these at night?

It almost seems like it's advantageous for people who want to do bad things.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with it.

I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.

Two other stories.

Sanders says the ultra-rich have been looting for 40 years.

This goes to why Pat was loading his gun because they say they're coming to the suburbs.

They're coming to people who have stuff, you know, because they deserve it.

How many times do you say

how many times do you say when we were talking about the coming insurrection

from the French communists, and they put out that little booklet?

And how many times do we say they will drag you out of your penthouses?

They will drag you out of your businesses and they will kill you in the streets because you're wealthy.

We are seeing the very seeds of that starting to sprout now.

And

that kind of stuff is taking root.

It is not far-fetched to think of these rioters going into businesses on Wall Street and dragging those guys out into the street.

Is that far-fetched now?

No.

Absolutely not.

It's really not.

No,

I don't think it's far-fetched at all.

In fact, I predicted that it would happen, and here it is.

And it's just begun.

It's just begun.

And I would urge the president to be presidential and do what a good president should do, and that is protect all Americans.

But

the devil inside of me says, screw them.

You know, if California wants to sink itself, good luck.

Maybe the United States should secede from California.

If New York wants to destroy itself, maybe we should secede from New York.

The rest of the country,

to hell with them.

They're intentionally destroying their economies.

They are intentionally destroying their cities.

They are intentionally bringing chaos.

I want nothing to do with it.

If that's what those governors want, and if that's what those people will continue to vote in, to hell with you.

Why am I paying for you?

Why am I worried about you?

I know what you're doing is destructive.

So, people, you need to come together and decide: are you for law and order or are you for this craziness in the streets?

Because you can't have it both ways.

American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

When we come back, I want to talk about I deserve this.

Right now, American financing knows that

you don't deserve anything just because you show up.

You've worked hard for what you have.

And in these really troubled times, may I suggest that you need to save money more than ever.

You need to make sure that your money is not going

out

to pay the fees for these banks and

pay exorbitant fees for the credit cards.

I mean, 20% interest rates when the bank is getting it for free?

If you're paying more than 4% right now for your mortgage, you must

get a new mortgage.

And AmericanFinancing.net are the people that can help you.

AmericanFinancing.net, 10 minutes, you explain your situation.

They'll tell you whether or not they're the right choice and can help you or not.

They don't get you into crazy loans.

These are really responsible.

It's a family-run or family-owned operation.

It's American Financing.net.

So yesterday I was standing talking to my

daughter Hannah and we were talking about the riots and she came out and she said, Dad, you have to see

what's going on.

And I said, no, I've watched it all day and I reported on it this morning.

I know exactly what's going on.

She had seen some of the things that we had talked about on on the air.

And when you see them, it's a lot different than just hearing it.

And

she said, why are people doing this?

And I said, well,

she said, how can people live with this?

How can people take things and then just live with it?

And I said, well, you're either just totally morally dead inside, or you've convinced yourself that you deserve it.

And she said, that's a weird phrase, that I deserve it.

She said, because everybody can say I deserve something that I didn't get.

And I said, you know, look at it the other way.

I always hear, I deserve it.

And I think of it the opposite way.

I hope I don't get what I deserve.

You know,

I know there is an eternal price to everything that we do.

And

it's through grace that I don't get what I deserve.

And that's the real problem.

We've lost the idea of grace.

We've lost this idea that

you're not going to get everything you deserve.

Meaning all of the bad things that you might have done.

There's somebody who has paid that price if you turn your life around and turn your life over.

So you're not going to get what you deserve.

Instead,

we look at it as

I deserve that.

I've worked for this company forever and they got rich and whatever it is,

you know,

you're never going to get everything you think you deserve.

And that's a good thing.

That's a good thing.

We are so self-entitled now.

And when we're self-entitled and self-indulgent, and we don't recognize our own personal thoughts and our own personal faults,

it's a Molotov cocktail that's going to blow up in your face.

Today,

be grateful.

I don't get everything I deserve.

I take that as a great, great blessing of grace from God Almighty himself.

And I don't know who would eat that from a gas station, but maybe it's a risk-taker.

Maybe it's something that

somebody who doesn't check their doesn't mind their check engine light going off.

Maybe they eat the sushi there as well.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Glad you're here.

Just when you think you're safe, we're live from the Standing Rock Ranch.

And,

you know, we have security up here.

And security just came in to let me know that everything is okay.

I'm kind of isolated in our broadcast barn.

And

I said, what's what's going on?

They said, well,

your wife just texted us, help, help.

And then it was all gibberish.

And then the next text came in because they said, where are you?

And the next text came in and said, help,

help, gibberish.

Moms are after me.

And they stood there for a minute and they went,

oh, geez, the mother cows.

And

my wife was being chased by the cows.

and I can bet you, I'll have to ask her in another break, but I think, I'll bet you, she took her dog with us.

And Uno looks like a wolf or a bear to these cows.

And when they're protecting their mother babies,

they get very aggressive.

Yeah, they get very aggressive.

Did you have any more stupid cows than that?

I mean, they can't tell the difference between a dog and a wolf.

Let me just say this, Pat.

Yes.

I don't know for sure, but I am looking into that.

Apparently, there were giant five-pound salt licks that had just been dumped all over the farm.

And I think those were put there

intentionally, knowing that the cows were going to riot and they could use those as a weapon.

So I don't know who put those salt licks out there, but we'll get to the bottom of it.

So there's danger everywhere.

There's danger everywhere.

I just want to let you know.

Anyway,

let's talk about a couple of things.

First of all,

I want to talk to you about

Tony Tempa.

Can we do Tony Tempa or should we do Chris Swanson first?

Okay.

Yeah, we should do the other one first.

The looter in Los Angeles, we can do him first because

he got left behind by his comrades, his friends,

his real ones, as he calls them.

His real ones.

Yeah, he's just his real ones.

He was out on a mission.

He was out on a mission.

Yes, he was.

And I don't want to tell you what that mission was, but

he was a missionary.

It's an important mission.

I think you'll find out.

It was really important.

Yes, here he is being interviewed

after he was arrested, looting.

Here he is.

All right, man, we saw you at the New Balance store.

Why are you out here?

Man, period, point blank, just like all my real ones trying to get some monies.

That's it.

Trying to get some dough.

That's it.

Just out here for the money?

Yeah, pretty much.

Anything to do with the protests, what happened in Minnesota?

I mean, a little bit to do with that, too.

A little bit.

You feel me?

But not really.

I'm out here for the dough.

Not really.

Was it worth it?

Obviously, no, I'm out here hemmed up.

Yeah, y'all see it.

Yeah.

Man, if y'all gonna get some money, do it right.

Don't do it the dumb way.

Do it the smart way.

Good point.

Thanks for your time, man.

It's a good point.

You know, when you're out with these real ones and you're just

trying to get some monies,

you need to do it the right way.

He did it the wrong way.

Yeah.

Did it the wrong way.

Yeah, he did.

I actually like this guy.

At least he was honest.

He was like, no, I really didn't have anything to do with

who?

Floyd, George,

what?

At least he's honest about it.

Very honest.

And, you know,

that's something we should show our children.

And that's what, you know, when we were growing up, do you remember the show with Ephraim Ephraim Zimblis Jr.,

the FBI?

Remember that?

What was the point of all of those cop shows?

Even Beretta,

you know, he'd be there with that stupid bird.

And at the end of the show, he would always make some point of, you know, man, crime doesn't pay.

You know, it just doesn't pay.

Right.

You don't hear that anymore.

No.

You never hear that crime doesn't pay.

And part of it is because some of these cities, it does pay.

Yeah.

You know, in Dallas, they have now said that they're not going to prosecute anybody for any of these crimes.

They won't prosecute.

They've already come to a place, and this is before the riots.

This is in the good times.

They said, you know, if you go in and steal something and it's under $1,000, we're not going to prosecute you on that.

Oh,

okay.

Thank you for that.

As a business owner, thank you.

Yeah,

that's insane.

As long as the TV I steal is, you know, under a thousand bucks, I can have that flat screen if I want it.

I just go in exactly.

I deserve it.

Right.

I'm getting what I deserve.

Yep.

And strangely, not getting what you actually deserve at the same time.

I mean, how do you control?

How do you have anything when you're not teaching crime doesn't pay?

And in fact, you're teaching that crime does pay.

I mean, you can get great TVs for under, you know, 600 bucks.

Absolutely.

That's why

I'm going out with my real ones after the show and just trying to get some monies.

Just trying to get some monies.

I'm going down to Dallas to do it because in the suburbs you'll be arrested.

But not in Dallas.

Right.

Not in Dallas.

Not in New York.

They're not going to prosecute in New York.

So

why wouldn't you?

I mean, think of this.

If you don't think that this is coordinated, okay,

I guess you could live in that dream world.

But couldn't you at least see that these cities and states that are not sending the police out, not doing anything about it,

not prosecuting when you do have looters?

Can you not see how that is incentivizing?

So, what?

They go to the police station, they get their fingerprints taken.

Big deal, Apple has your fingerprints.

They get your fingerprints taken.

You go to the, for, for a couple of TVs,

I might do that.

Take a quick ride down to the police station.

Have one of my real ones pick me up.

He's got a TV.

I've got a TV.

Nothing else.

Great.

And it was.

I mean, sincerely.

It was interesting, too, talking to Dan Bongino last hour, who said that

the attacks on the White House, the protests that were happening, the rioting that was happening near the White House was actually coordinated.

Nobody is telling you that.

Nobody is telling you that.

Who's coordinating it?

And obviously, Antifa is.

At least, according to Dan, these things are being

organized.

We are,

we are,

I will tell you this.

We have really good sources telling us that this is happening, the pallets and bricks and everything else.

But I'm not willing to go on record until I have absolute proof on the coordination.

But I will tell you, really top-level sources

are verifying this.

And I will also tell you that it shouldn't shock anybody.

This is what they've been talking about.

Everything that's happening is being described by these people who have already done it in other cities.

And they're describing it for years.

They've been describing it online out into the open.

This is what we want to happen.

Why would you not think, you know, it's like, if I go into the bakery every day and I'm like, I love these donuts so much, but if I ever run out of money, I'm going to rob this place every day.

And if you don't give me free donuts, I'll burn it down to the ground.

And then some guy walks in who doesn't have a job and he says, I want free donuts, but he's wearing a mask.

And he says, look, I'll burn you down to the ground.

Is it logical to at least question

that guy?

Can you take your mask off for a second?

Because it's probably the same guy.

And that's what what you have with Idafa.

You have

the same people showing up, dressed the same, causing all kinds of problems.

They're not the ones looting the stores.

They're the ones smashing the windows, spray painting, and setting things on fire.

And what is the end result in that?

What is the end result, New York?

If you don't get this under control, you're going to have businesses that say, I'm not, I can't operate in New York.

They won't control the crime.

There is no freedom without security.

And, you know, when you think about the way cops were established, you have to realize that this is still the same thing.

These are your local cops.

And how we established police departments logically was we were all farmers.

We were a group of people.

And we got in and we said, okay, we're all kind of like-minded.

We don't want to steal from each other.

There's no real bad guys here, at least that I know of.

And I'm out tilling my field, and then I have to go sell my goods someplace, and I'm not going to be home, and I'm going to be out in the field, and then sometimes I have to take a journey for weeks, and who's going to watch over my wife and kids?

And if everybody is saying that, pretty soon they all got together and said, let's hire somebody.

You give a little bit, and you give a little bit, and I'll give a little bit.

And we'll hire somebody that we trust to watch our stuff.

The minute that guy goes bad, you fire him.

But we don't because of unions and everything else.

Well, that's the social contract that we have.

We hired someone to watch our stuff.

Then we hired somebody to

use the law, read the law, and make sure that there weren't any vigilantes, that there weren't any riots, that there weren't any of these things, and enforce the law.

Well, the enforcers are not doing it, the judges are not doing it because of the cities, the people that you put in charge of your city, so you could just work,

and the police.

When all three have failed you, where do you go?

What do you do?

You just live with it?

Because we can't do our jobs if we are constantly concerned about our security.

There has to be some sort of law and order.

And that doesn't mean it has to be draconian.

It just means it has to be there.

And when it's enforced, when that law is enforced, generally people go along with it.

Generally, people, as long as it's fair and just, they'll do it.

If they know that.

Look, you shoot a cop, you should get the death penalty.

That's just the way it used to be, and I think it should be.

If you kill a cop, instant death penalty.

Unless you can make the case that they were

shooting at you for some unknown reason, unless it was a dirty cop.

As long as it's not a dirty cop,

and you shoot them,

instant death penalty.

No long dragged out anything.

Death penalty.

You go through one trial, that's it.

Buh-bye.

That would change things in America.

Now, the same thing with a cops.

If you kill a citizen, I think you actually are worse.

If you, and every cop makes mistakes, and we know that, and in the heat of the battle, I don't want to judge that, but when you are stepping on someone's neck or kneeling on someone's neck,

you've lost a regard to that that is a citizen that you have to protect as well.

Police have to protect the good guys and the bad guys.

They're only trying to separate them and take the bad guys and deliver them to a just justice system.

That's their job.

That's a citizen, too.

You may not like them.

You may not like what they do, but that's your job.

You kill a citizen like that.

I think you should get the same penalty.

So everybody knows.

Don't kill each other.

Don't disregard each other.

And

what happens to our society

if it breaks down?

Remember, we hired cops and judges and mayors and everything else to watch over the stuff so we could go to work and do what we needed to do.

We couldn't do both.

So if you have lawlessness on the streets, New York, you're not going to have any business because the businesses will say, I can't operate here.

I'm always replacing a front window.

Do you see the foot locker?

They broke in the night before.

They put wood on the door.

Then the looters last night went into the same place and finished the job.

Well, you know what?

If I'm Nike, I can't have a store here in New York.

I can't.

So how many jobs are lost?

What happens to that huge, empty building now?

You're going to have all kinds of problems.

But here's the real problem.

People like de de Blasio, people who are for the democratic socialist, they want that to happen.

They want the economy to be affected.

That's why when they say, oh, it's Blackout Tuesday, you shouldn't sell anything, screw you.

We are wide open for business today.

You want to buy something?

Buy a mug.

I don't care if it's mine or anybody else's.

Go to shop.theblaze.com or go buy it from somebody else.

But we are open for business today.

We are not shutting down our economy anymore.

They don't want you to buy anything.

They want you to say something on your social media.

Say this: hey, I just bought a new hat.

It's a great camouflage blaze hat.

And I bought it at shop.theblaze.com.

Yeah, because I think the economy is important.

All right.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Boy, we have so much stuff left.

We have

Elijah Schaefer is coming up in just a second.

Also, we have the Polk County Sheriff, Grady Judd, who is just great, who said, I'm telling all of my citizens in Polk County, love your guns, have them locked and loaded, and if somebody comes in your front door, blow them back out of your house.

It's an amazing statement from a great sheriff in Polk County, Florida.

Grady Judge, he's going to be joining us in a few minutes.

You don't want to miss a minute.

Miss a minute, miss a lot.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You've heard me talk about my Takovis boots and how much I love them and what a great company they come from.

It's a small business that's doing things the right way down here in Texas.

Well, given the challenges that we're going through as a country, Takovis has asked me to speak about something else that comes to mind every time I put on my Takovis boots.

The cowboy.

Now, you know, I'm not a working cowboy, but I know some of those guys.

And not being one of them, I wouldn't pretend to be.

But what I see in them, I see in other people too.

Because in many ways, cowboy is just a mindset, an uncompromising can-do attitude, a willingness to help, even when it's really hard.

And most of all, the cowboy knows that the good guys always win in the end.

So, as you begin the hard work of bootstrapping this country and economy back into shape, Takovis has the boots you need.

Find your pair at tocovis.com, T-E-C-O-V-A-S.com/slash Beck.

Tacovis.com/slash slash beck.

And what do you say?

Let's all be cowboys.

Thank you so much, Hillary.

We have Elijah Schaefer.

We have the sheriff of Polk County.

We have a lot of really great stuff still to cover.

But first, let me just tell you:

as my wife is not watching, she's out with the cattle right now.

She was right.

She's told me for years, you should try this build bar.

It's really good.

It's really delicious.

Because

I have a sweet tooth, like crazy.

And if I don't have something sweet at night, I just go crazy.

And so she's like, this is really good, but it's a protein bar.

Protein bars taste like garbage.

They taste like a doormat.

This is with real chocolate.

I don't know how they make these things.

They're 150 calories.

It's a protein bar.

It's really good.

It is like eating a candy bar.

It's healthy, good for you,

low calories, and it tastes great.

I want you you to go to Built Bar right now.

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

This is the Glenn Beck

program.

Well, hello, America.

Welcome to it.

It's another day.

More riots, things on fire.

And you're not supposed to buy anything and you're supposed to say the right thing on social media today.

Or don't even post on social media.

You're supposed to do whatever you're told by the mob.

Screw you.

They want you to close the store?

You know what?

Our store, shop.theblaze.com, open for business today.

Got lots of stuff selling like crazy.

May I suggest you buy something today and don't let the mob tell you what to do?

If you are being told you should close your store, open your store up.

If you're being bullied online, that you have to say something because you're not politically correct.

Screw you.

Don't do it.

Don't do it.

Now, I've wanted to talk to some people around the country today and see what they're feeling.

We're going to squeeze some of those calls in.

We have a police officer we're going to take.

We also have Elijah Schaefer on with us to talk a little bit about

how we now have at least one newspaper that is verifying that this is a coordinated thing.

He's been out in with Antifa for a very long time.

We talked to him coming up, beginning in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about Gold Line.

Dollars are on the run right now everywhere in the world.

Hong Kong,

you can't go to any place to exchange money and get dollars.

Dollars are being taken out everywhere because people are afraid a collapse, a financial collapse, is coming.

And the dollar is the strongest one out there.

Now, if these riots continue, it's not going to be strong.

You know, the worry, some headline that I saw a couple of days ago was the world worries.

And they were talking about the riots.

Once the world, the one thing we've had going for us is we have stable law and order.

We are not like Greece.

But strangely, these riots are going exactly the same way that they went in Greece.

Wow, they went in Ukraine.

They went in the Arab Spring.

They went in Argentina.

Wow.

I wonder if there's something that ties all those together.

Yes, there is.

But as these things go unstable, the dollar will go unstable.

And it's, I just don't think, I told my kids the other day, I just don't think the dollar is going to be the world reserve currency.

I think it will change in my lifetime.

And I'm not feeling so well.

Anyway, so gold line.

They are the only people that I buy or sell gold with.

They are people that they have gained my trust over 10 years.

I put my money where my mouth is.

I just bought some more gold.

I bought some 1903 coins just because I

happen to think that

I'm a collector of coins.

No, I wouldn't collect these.

I wouldn't, I wasn't taking it just for the gold.

I'm a collector of antique coins.

Ask them about why I say that.

But anyway, Goldline will help you buy the gold or silver that you need to protect yourself and your family from just catastrophic events.

Goldline, 1866, Goldline, 1866, Goldline, or goldline.com.

I'm want to go to Jim in Ohio quickly before we go to Elijah.

Jim, you're a police officer.

Yes, sir, over two decades.

And how are things going for you?

Do you want to say what city you're in?

Yeah, we're in Columbus, Ohio.

You know, like most officers around the country, we're doing our job.

And we've been under attack for five days now, which is not really why I'm calling.

I'm calling because that doesn't bother us.

We know how to deal with the riots.

We're being under attack from our mayor and our city council.

Our mayor has done two things.

He said that our department,

he and the city council have labeled our department as entirely racist.

Inherently, there's

hatred in police officers and policing.

And he's also issued that a direct line to him, anybody that complains, the officers will be directly, that touches.

a rioter or a protester will be directly investigated by him.

So, how does that make you feel about doing your job, Jim?

Well, that scares us because a lot of us are, you know, I'm close to retirement, but there's a lot of people that aren't.

And if you're just doing your job, you're doing it in the right way, and you, you know, you're unjustly criticized and fired, that scares a lot of police officers more than actually going out in the street and taking on the rioters.

So

that scares you into inaction.

Correct.

We had a congresswoman, which we have on video, assaulting a police officer.

We brought it to the attention of our staff.

They refused to file charges against her.

The prosecutor refuses to file charges against her.

When we actually have the video, we had two city council members in the midst of the riots that were maced.

And these are the same city council members that now says it's because our department's racist.

Would you do do me a favor?

Could I put you back on hold, Jim?

I'd like to get those videos from you.

We'd like to investigate both of those and

let the whole city and the country know what's going on in Columbus, Ohio.

Thank you so much.

Let me go to Elijah Schaefer, who has been down with

these rioters for a long time.

He's been following Antifa.

And when you were up with

Antifa and you were watching them beat people, et cetera, et cetera.

You told me at the time, Elijah, that the police would just mysteriously disappear.

That's because the police chief and the mayor

are for Antifa, seemingly.

Are you seeing a difference between other protests and, for instance, the Dallas police as opposed to the

Portland police?

Yeah, I think one

aspect

and I could be corrected if I'm wrong, but Andy know a journalist has talked to me about how like the mayor of Portland similarly is the the police commissioner.

And so some of these mayors have an uncanny amount of power and influence, as we just heard, over the police department, whether indirectly by directing anger from their their populace towards them and misrepresenting them or directly by telling them that they can they need to stand down and not do their jobs.

But I have absolutely watched

not where that police were overrun in cities like Portland over the years.

I watched as they've just begun to gain control.

While I don't have a radio, I watched them answer calls, get back on their trucks, in their cars, and leave, and watch the protests and riots turn violent and the vandalism increase when they had the opportunity to stop it in its tracks.

So, what is your take on this, Elijah?

As you've watched these guys,

I mean, it's really important for top-down, bottom-up inside-out, that theory that I've been,

you know, explaining for the last 15 years, that you've got to have people in power.

This is the way they flipped countries to be communist.

You have to have people who are communist in power, but they don't necessarily say they are,

but they have enough control to where they can move the system.

You have to control the attorney generals and the prosecutors.

We know that George Soros has been doing that for a while now.

And you have to have these uprisings in the streets.

No one prosecuted, no one paying any price

until the people just stand up and they say to the federal government, Help us, help us.

Nobody's helping us.

And that's when you flip the country to a Marxist utopia.

Does that sound too crazy at this point, Elijah?

No, you know, it doesn't, Glenn.

And I think what's really important

for your listeners to understand is that I have been documenting groups like RevCom, Revolutionary Now, in Los Angeles, for years.

Just recently, I have them on camera.

They're calling for a revolution in the streets.

They are yelling and taunting, and they are completely calling on people to revolt.

And you know, people laugh at me.

Oh, why do you pay attention to this group?

Why do you pay attention to that group?

And I go, because they are literally calling for an attack on our country, internalizing it, and calling for violence in our streets.

And I take people seriously that call for threats of violence in our streets.

Well, it looks like

you know, it looks like they're not laughing anymore because groups like that are working tirelessly in large cities like Los Angeles to wreak havoc.

And they're getting at least the first taste of the revolution.

And if we've seen this escalation in just the last couple years, where the media laughed at me, mocked me, called me a propagandist for saying that these were viable threats, to now just two years later, they're saying, oh, actually, these people are burning down our cities.

I wonder if the next step, as we're seeing in the protests last night and riots, that violence in just three days have escalated.

So we went from two years to three days.

Who knows what's going to happen in the next 24 hours?

So tell me what you know about the bricks situation.

because I've heard two stories on this, and we're close to some information that I hope to be releasing this week.

But at this point,

until I have that information,

I don't know if it's just a coincidence and

Antifa happens to know where the construction site is, and so they say, hey, everybody, meet here.

But

I've been around a while now, and most construction sites are fenced off, so you can't go steal a pallet of bricks, which is a lot of money.

But these organizers are meeting at places where there's these pallets of bricks, and they appear to be part of a construction site, most of them.

But is this a coincidence, or do you think this is coordinated?

That's a really important question, and I want to make sure I only speak to what I know here so that we don't conjecture.

I went ahead and spoke to somebody who worked in bricklaying for quite some time and they confirmed with me that construction sites do not leave bricks out, that they're a commodity that is often stolen.

They're also completely sealed often with wired bars when they're left

that continue to keep the package in place after it's brought off of a flatbed.

But you know Glenn, that night when I made the claim that it was organized, that people were leading people to pallets of bricks, you know, I was mocked online and ridiculed as if maybe, just maybe, I wasn't trying to start a conspiracy.

Maybe I was myself shocked to realize that somebody was looking to increase the violence and the vandalism.

And I saw pallets of bricks in places where there was not construction, and I uploaded video footage of even protesters acknowledging in filming, like, oh, this is so fishy.

I see this.

There's not a construction around here.

These bricks are here.

And there is footage right now online, and your audience can look it up, of right near protests, flatbeds of trucks just coming and just dropping off pallets of bricks the day of the protest.

Well, there's caught cars all around.

And that's what's most suspicious to me.

Cock cars are there while a flatbed truck goes into a parking lot right next to the protest and drops off two giant pallets of bricks into the middle of a parking lot.

I mean, if that doesn't breathe suspicion

in the eyes of any smart and intelligent American of why bricks were being dropped off in an inner city in front of officers while a riot is ensuing, then I don't know what would.

I wonder if the Teamsters could answer that question.

Teamsters would know who those truck drivers are.

Teamsters would know what

the usual is.

I wonder if they would answer that question.

Yeah, I absolutely, I absolutely implore anyone with information, whether you work in construction or you have background, to try to bring some clarity to the national conversation.

And that's why, for the first time, I think Americans are not only realizing that it's up to them to protect themselves, whether it's

from deadly force that seems to be escalating where police cannot help them.

One pretty liberal individual on Twitter said that he called the police because of an altercation between rioters and his neighbor.

And the police said, the city is under attack.

It's on you right now.

Do what you need to.

And he goes, is this really America?

And yes, this is America

in a good and a bad way.

In a bad way, because we're seeing our own governments that have been falling apart for years, unable to protect us, but on a good way because America has always been by the people and for the people.

It's up to you to protect yourself.

And right now, not only physically, but information-wise, you cannot trust the media, and we need you to help.

So if anyone knows and has information, please contact myself, Elijah Schaefer online, or this program, and help us bring to light the evidence and the deception of people who are trying to pretend like this is all just random and somehow every city in America is just burning accidentally at the exact same time.

Elijah,

how do you think Trump is being viewed by the average American and the Trump supporter?

Because I have heard many Trump supporters saying he's being weak.

He's not reacting.

I know that Tucker Carlson

did a monologue last night where he pretty much called him weak.

What is your thought?

You know,

Glenn, I have been a very, a very big supporter of the President of the United States

since early on, since I saw him

continue and completely ignore the advice of so-called quote-unquote wise counselors and instead speak to the heart of the American worker and people and just act like a run-of-the-mill man who doesn't take any crud from people.

You know,

I don't think any leader just like George Bush during 9-11 really could fully understand how to respond to this because he's in a very precarious situation.

Everyone already calls him racist and fascist and

compares him to

Adolf Hitler.

And so essentially, no matter what he does in this situation, I know as a man,

you're going to be labeled in a very negative light.

If you're tough on the violence, then you're racist.

If you're not tough, you're weak.

But I think everyone needs to give him a little bit of time.

I do think that his speech was about three days too late that he gave, but it was warmly welcomed in my understanding.

And I would hope that as he speaks and says that

America is a country of the rule of law, that he would completely stand behind that and that he would set an example and a precedent.

But weakness is not the right word, but maybe just a little bit delayed.

And perhaps, just perhaps, that could be because of bad counsel from people like Jared Kushner.

All right.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

That's Elijah Schaefer.

Slightly offensive is a great show, and you do a great job, and you are braver than most.

So, thank you so much, Elijah.

I appreciate it.

I want to talk to you about Takova's boots.

Takova's boots are really, truly the best.

They're the best boots.

I was talking to my daughter yesterday, who was out at the ranch, and I said, You got to get the kids some cowboy boots.

And I don't think Takovas makes cowboy boots for little kids, but she said, okay, why?

And I said, well, you know why cowboys wear cowboy boots?

And she said, no.

And I said, snake bites.

You know, you're walking through the tall grass.

You make sure that you're not getting bit by a snake.

But cowboys like that

don't exist everywhere in America.

And you're in a city, you're not worried about, well, you probably are worried about snakes, just different kinds of snakes.

But you're wearing a pair of Takovis cowboy boots.

It says something about you.

And screw the rest of the world.

It says something about you to you.

It reminds you of integrity.

It reminds you of who you are.

That you are handmade just like these boots.

That you made yourself.

There's something honest about a handshake and a look in the eye that a cowboy gives you.

That's what Takovis is all about.

And you feel them every time that you put them on.

200 steps to make these things, and half the price of a similarly priced boot.

It's Takovis.

10 Second Station ID.

Let me go to Ray in Pennsylvania.

Hello, Ray.

You're on the Glenn Beck program.

Hi, Glenn.

How are you?

I'm very good.

Hello.

Well,

I just wanted to bring something to your attention.

I went to vote today at the polling station, and there was only two people in there, person in before me and myself.

And I heard the people tell her, or him, whoever it was anymore, to fill out this paper and go over to the table.

And I'm thinking, what?

So I gave them my ID.

They checked out.

And then they tore off a piece of paper from the computer and said, go fill this out over there at the table.

And I'm like,

wait a minute.

I thought voting was anonymous.

Nobody's going to know who you vote for.

Now all of a sudden, everybody's getting checked out.

I mean, I voted for many, many, many years.

And now all of a sudden, I've got to get checked out as to who I'm voting for.

I walked out.

So, wait, hold it just a second, because I've been at voting places where you have to put the ballot into the box, the locked box itself.

Nobody should touch that ballot after you have.

So, what is this system?

What's going on there?

And can you watch them put it into the box?

Truthfully, I can't say that for sure because, as I said, there was a person in there before me.

I was doing the information as they were, and my eyesight's not that great.

So, I'm going to say probably not because you're filling it out, and they're putting it into the computer or whatever it is they're putting in.

Wow.

Wow.

Welcome to a brave new world,

Ray.

Thank you so much for that report.

We will check into that.

We are doing a special coming up soon

on

this new ballot system.

They are finding all kinds of problems with it.

are you tired of always arguing with socialists save yourself some time just get them glenn's book arguing with socialists which is out right now

this is the glenn beck program live from the standing rock ranch uh i have to play some audio from yesterday this is uh sheriff uh uh grady judd he is the sheriff of polk county Florida.

I want you to listen to what he said in a press conference.

We have received information on social media that some of the criminals were going to take their criminal conduct into the neighborhoods.

I would tell them if you value your life, you probably shouldn't do that in Polk County

because the people of Polk County like guns.

They have guns.

I encourage them to own guns.

And they're going to be in their homes tonight with their guns loaded.

And if you try to break into their homes to steal,

to set fires,

I'm highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns.

So leave the community alone.

I lived

in Polk County.

I think I lived in Polk County, Florida, and I did not get a chance to vote for him, but I think I would have.

He was overwhelmingly elected sheriff in 2004, re-elected in 8, 12, 16, and I'm guessing he's going to do well the next time, should he decide to run.

Welcome to the program, Grady Judd.

Thank you very much, and certainly I want to continue serving the people of Polk County and keeping them safe and supporting them while they do the right thing.

So,

Grady, are you did you see something

in

your county that disturbed you, or is this just what's happening all around the country?

And they've been saying they're coming to the suburbs.

So you were just

making sure everybody understood.

The county is about 690,000 people, and as you can imagine, we have a large sheriff's office here, and our intelligence group picked this chatter up off of the

different Facebook or social media posts.

I don't think it was on Facebook.

It was another social media.

We weren't able to verify it at the time of the press conference, but we take all of those threats serious until we can discount them.

And we weren't able to discount it because we saw it from more than one source.

So I was responding to a reporter's question, but at the end of the day, that's to me common sense.

I mean, it's gone viral.

I looked last night and there was 2.5 million views.

But think about this, Glenn.

All we said was what every citizen in the United States has a right to do, your home, in your house, and looters take to the neighborhoods and they're going to break into your home to rob, to steal, to set your house on fire.

Why wouldn't you blow them out of your house with your firearm?

You've got the right to protect yourself, your family, and your home.

So, to me, it was just common sense.

I find it interesting, Grady, that there has been such a movement to get guns out of the hands of average citizens.

And the same people who have been trying to do that are now in the streets causing all of this ruckus and saying we're coming to your house.

You think it's a coincidence, or are these things coordinated, do you think?

I think it's absolutely coordinated.

You know, it's pretty basic, but you know, the old saying, when you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns.

The reality is, I've been in law enforcement my entire adult life.

Outlaws, criminals, thugs, they don't pay any attention to rules.

If they did, we wouldn't have criminal conduct.

And the criminals always have guns.

So that's what shocks me about this.

The criminals always have guns.

So if the criminals have guns, why in God's green earth wouldn't we want law-abiding citizens to at least be able to arm themselves to protect themselves and their families?

And there are areas in this country, if people didn't have guns in their homes, they wouldn't be safe.

So what we're saying is, look,

when the criminals start obeying the law, when the criminals start doing what's right, then come back to us and talk about gun control.

I don't think we'll ever have that conversation.

I don't think so either.

I still wouldn't give up my gun.

I mean, I have a right to protect myself, and I think we're seeing now why there needs to be magazines that hold more than seven bullets.

I mean, look at some of these beatdowns that are happening in the cities.

There are, you know, 10, 12, 15, 20 people that are after one person and just beating them.

I mean,

you know, I have a right to live, and I have a right to my own opinion, and I have a right to say it.

You have a right to protest, but not to beat me to death.

At least give me a shot of saving my own life.

And that's absolutely correct.

But I can assure you of one thing, that

that second, third, fourth, fifth person, when you modify that first person's behavior with a gun, the others decide to go the other way.

And when you can't be safe in your home, you can't be safe anyplace at all.

But you have the right, especially in the state of Florida.

We have beautiful laws, not only castle doctrine laws, but we all also have a stand-your-ground law.

And it's really been taken out of context.

Our stand-your-ground law doesn't mean that you can enter into a conflict and stand your ground.

The intent and the pure purpose of that law is you're a a law-abiding citizen behaving, walking down the street, minding your own business, and someone comes up to attack you, to beat you down with

a stick, a baseball bat, they have a knife, they have a gun, certainly you have the right to protect yourself.

You don't have to run from somebody that may be faster and certainly wants to assault you.

And to me it's common sense.

And when you look where the problems are occurring, traditionally it's in the communities that have stopped the good people

from doing what's right, possessing their firearms,

having easy-to-access concealed weapons permits,

and obviously then the criminals take over.

So

where do we go from here, Sheriff?

What should the sheriffs and the police forces around the country be doing right now to to make sure they stay on the right side and

their cities and their counties are protected.

Glenn, I'm glad you asked.

The police are nothing but a microcosm or a reflection of the community.

When you saw these police agencies around the country that weren't appropriately responding to protect lives and to protect property,

that is a reflection of the government.

That's a reflection of the decision makers.

The police officers are the enforcers.

They don't create the laws.

They just obey the laws and enforce the rules.

So when police officers are told to stand down, let them burn the building, police officers stand down and let them burn the building.

When police officers in other communities are told, you're not going to let them burn out our stores,

then that's exactly what the police can do.

We have the resources to protect people's property and to protect their lives.

But if the leadership of a community, the mayors, the city commissioners, the governors, the state legislators, if they capitulate, if they back up

because of a use of

force or threat against them or a threat of force against them, if they tell the police to stand down, then you get what you get.

There's a horrible video back in the Baltimore riots where the police were told, do not engage these people that are tearing up and burning this store.

And there was certainly enough police officers there to do it.

So you have to not look at the police.

You have to look at the leadership and the management of the city or the community.

And how do you think the police and sheriffs are handling it so far?

I mean, between COVID, there were some really dicey things that were happening around the country with COVID.

And some sheriffs, mainly sheriffs, but some police officers, stood up against some of the draconian things that were happening in the state.

How do you think

the police are handling it?

Well, we've got a lot of challenges on our plate right now.

COVID is certainly a problem.

We've got high unemployment.

We've got folks who have an environment where they can legally wear masks all the time

and be in positions to one protect themselves with a mask or two hide themselves with a mask while they rob so when you add to that this environment that we have here now that is absolutely totally shocking first and foremost no rational reasonable police agency police officer could ever defend the conduct of that police officer in Minneapolis.

That was totally horrific.

There's not enough words to talk about that.

I mean there just is not adequate words.

Never has a police officer been trained in a police academy to put their knee on someone's throat.

Regardless of whether they're resisting or not, you don't kneel down on someone's throat.

So let's set that aside

for a second because we all agree that that was horrific and wrong.

And in this community, had that police officer done that, I would have had him in jail before sundown.

But that doesn't give people a right to riot, to loot, to steal.

Yes, you want to protest.

What's the difference between a protest and a riot?

A protest

is when, and we had one Sunday where we had 400 or 500 people show up to protest against the death

of George Floyd.

It was healthy.

It was good.

There was old folks there.

There was young folks there.

There were children there.

And they protested that horrific event.

It was a wonderful event.

They exercised their First Amendment rights.

It was so passive, the local police department didn't even visually have law enforcement officers in the crowd.

But

let me tell you what happened.

The protesters then went home.

But from there, the anarchists, the rioters,

they marched down toward the police department with some protesters.

And after they protested at the police department, then those protesters went home, and that left the anarchist,

and it left the rioters.

And that's the people that we had problems with in this community.

Well,

the police department called the sheriff's office, and we...

all mustered together and we pushed them out of the intersection after they had torn up one building and damaged one car and injured one set of people,

which, by the way, was one of the protesters that they got mad at.

But that's the difference.

Protesters are exercising First Amendment rights.

Rioters are taking advantage of the situation in order to loot, steal, hurt people, or create absolute chaos.

And

that's why it's important for police agencies to be allowed to go in in and pick the dissidents out, the troublemakers out that's inciting the riot.

When you get them out, then you are left with the protesters.

Sheriff, it has been great to talk to you.

Thank you for your insight.

Thanks for the courage for standing up.

And my best to

all of your fellow officers, and I wish you nothing but safety and health.

Thank you so much, Sheriff.

By the way,

we should keep our you bet.

We should keep our policemen, first responders in our prayers.

I can't imagine what it's like to go to work, especially in a city that is hostile to cops, and you're one of the good guys.

We have two cops in Vegas in the hospital.

One of them seriously injured.

We have four in St.

Louis in the hospital.

And

two cops last night were run over in Buffalo, Ohio.

How many is it it going to take before America says enough is enough?

Because I can't believe any honest, decent

American is with the looters at this point.

Back in a minute.

All right, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Relief Factor is going to get you out of pain.

At least it does for 70% of the people that try it.

I've had people who have had bad back problems for decades

or some sort of pain in their arm, their legs, their hands, whatever, and they have not been able to find anything that would help them get out of pain.

And their life is pretty much over.

They gave up.

That's when they came to Relief Factor.

And Relief Factor, 70% of those who try it, go on to order more month after month.

Why do you do that if it doesn't work?

ReliefFactor.com.

800-500-8384.

800-500-8384, ReliefFactor.com.

Go there now and get your life back.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're so glad that you're here.

Pat and I were just talking off the air.

He's a little concerned about Donald Trump and the election.

I keep seeing these polls

that Biden is way ahead, I don't know, 10, 12 points ahead, and it's starting to become pretty consistent.

And so

with all the stuff that's going on, it's just a little frightening because you got the COVID-19, you got the rioting,

you have all these different factors involved.

You got 98% of the coverage against him.

It's a little concerning now.

Yeah, I'm scared.

Well,

I think we all should be concerned, but I will tell you this.

I think this is all coming undone.

If America decides to vote

for these people that have been involved in deep, deep corruption and playing FTSE with Antifa and all these people, if that's what America chooses in the end, we deserve to fail.

We deserve to fail.

And this isn't my country anymore.

That's a small consolation, though.

That's not.

No, I know.

Yeah.

No, I know.

I know.

But I don't think that's going to happen.

I think,

you know, they're saying that he's a dictator and he's being weak.

That doesn't make any sense at all.

No.

But if you don't think Donald Trump, his first response is to go out and personally roll up his sleeves and bitch slap these protesters, you got another thing coming.

Yeah, for sure.

He's anything but weak on this.

And I think he is

being restrained.

But I think you're going to see him get very serious with these states that are not doing the right thing for the American citizen because he does believe in America and what we are.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
