Hello, America. How Are You Feeling? | 8/30/19

We've got a great program lined up and ready to go for you today.

Bill O'Reilly is coming up in just a second.

First, let me tell you about our spotlight sponsor.

They want to,

if you have

a chunk of money that is going for your monthly budget just to pay these high credit card bills,

you have to

get out of that.

You got to get out of the

high interest rates.

You'll never pay these things off.

Now, listen, you're not alone.

It's not unusual.

But my kick right now is to make sure that we do everything we possibly can to become really financially bulletproof or as much as we can be for anything that might be coming our way.

If a Democrat is elected,

I think we are.

And they pursue the end of capitalism kind of stuff they're talking about.

We're doomed.

So, please, please, if you have a mortgage, you might want to think about refinancing, you might want to think about a consolidation loan, which would get rid of a lot of those credit card debts, and you can save thousands of dollars.

Please just make a 10-minute phone call to AmericanFinancing.net.

You can call them at 800-906-2440.

It's AmericanFinancing.net.

Hello, America.

It's Friday,

and I am thrilled that it is Friday.

Been a long week.

We've got a lot coming up for you today.

We have some laughs.

I want to connect with you on the phone here right at the beginning and talk to you a little bit about how you're feeling about things.

You know, one of the things that happened in the last election is, quite honestly,

I was a little bit arrogant

and

I violated one of my first principles.

I wasn't listening to you.

This show is about you.

It's not about me.

So

I missed the pain that you were feeling last election.

So I want to check in with you now, and I want to continue to do this during the election period and hear what's happening in your life.

What are you feeling?

What are you seeing?

How's your economy?

Because that's the one that really matters.

How is your economy going?

Are you feeling the relief?

Are you feeling pain?

What are your friends saying?

How do you feel about the upcoming election?

I just want to get a gut check from you on what's real and what's not, because you're not being reflected in the mainstream media at all.

We're also going to talk a little bit about Mike Lee.

He's in hot water with Tucker Carlson.

Well,

when I read the article about what Tucker was saying, I immediately got on the phone with Mike Lee and said, what's the deal, dude?

Wow.

In two sentences, you can

understand what the deal is, dude.

And it's pretty, I think it's pretty eye-opening.

We'll give that to you coming up in one minute.

This.

is the Glenbeck program.

I find this fact fascinating, but it is not a downplay of the police.

I just never thought of it.

And once you realize it,

it's like that's so true.

How many times, if you have a burglar alarm, how many times has your

burglar alarm gone off by accident?

Somebody opens a window, somebody opens the door, and you forgot that you set the burglar alarm.

It happens at least.

I think I've had the police at my house maybe four times in the last year and only one of them was

real.

Well, it takes about the average time.

It takes about 45 minutes for the police to arrive when an alarm goes off.

Well, that's kind of a long period because they're gone usually in 15 minutes.

So you never catch the guy.

Well, this is because the police know that 99% of the time when that burglar alarm goes off, it's a false alarm.

So you're put down at the bottom of the 911 list.

If you have video verification, which large companies are the only ones that have this when they have private security, they can see that there is somebody and they call the police and they say, by the way, video verification, there is a problem here.

Well, now they get...

to the residents or to the business in seven minutes.

You're at the top of the list.

This is amazing.

I never even thought of it, but it makes total sense.

So why don't you have video verification?

Because they only do it for people who have lots and lots of cash, usually corporations.

Well, now SimplySafe has that technology, and it's $15 a month, so you don't have to be Apple to have it.

SimplySafe makes it really easy.

There's no contract, no hidden fees, no fine print.

The around-the-clock monitoring, including video verification, starts at $15 a month.

Now, there's a huge deal going on right now.

SimplySafebeck.com.

If you go there, you order your system,

you also get a free security camera so they can video verify.

It's simply safebeck.com.

That's simply safebeck.com.

Go there now

As people holding,

I really want to hear from you today.

So, I'm going to start with taking some phone calls, or we'll get busy into other things.

And before you know it, Bill O'Reilly will be with us next hour.

So, I want to go to Claire.

She's calling from Missouri

and going to tell us what's happening in her life and how she's viewing the world today.

Hello, Claire.

I have two perspectives I'd like to touch on if I could.

And I think they both maybe kind of boil down to the same root, which is a severe lack of

introspection, I think, in this country.

We are not taught to have

introspection anymore.

My perspective is from a social media standpoint, I don't even try to inform anybody on Facebook

in a personal way, like on their Facebook page.

I don't comment on anything anymore.

I put out my own information, but I have been shouted down way too many times.

And that's just not a good forum to be able to discuss.

You can't discuss like that.

Yeah, yeah, when you're talking face-to-face with somebody, then you can really,

you know, well, they can't be as rude, you know.

I mean,

unless there's a crowd.

Unless there's a crowd around.

Yeah,

true.

And then from my husband's perspective, in the business world,

he read this book called Quiet by Susan Kane.

And in it, she documents how the Harvard Business School, they've moved from character to charisma.

And now it's all about pretending that you know the answer.

And it doesn't matter if the answer is right or not.

It's whoever can convince the room that their answer is right.

And my husband deals with this in business all the time, where it's like, okay, we can't just solve the problem here.

We have to grandstand and pretend we know what we're talking about.

And it's so frustrating

to try

done.

Everything that I've ever taught my son and my daughters, everything I learned as a kid, I learned as a kid, if you don't have the answer, there is strength in saying, I don't know, but I'll find the answer.

And

if somebody tries to bluff with me and use their charisma, that's the last day they work for me.

I mean,

I don't understand that.

When somebody comes to you and has the vulnerability to say, I honestly don't know, that's when you win.

And my husband gets a lot of respect from, you know, the people above him when he does that.

They're astounded.

They can't believe, but they know that they can trust him.

You know, they know that they can trust him to say, you know, put it the way things are.

And my husband's all about, it's funny.

I mean, same as Trump, winning.

You know, hey, are we going to win in this business?

Are we going to

do the best for the least cost?

Or are we going to go round and round and round in circles hoping that we succeed?

So I think, and I think both of those things come down to we have lost the ability to look at ourselves and say, hey, am I a part of the problem here?

You mentioned, gosh, it's been a couple of months ago now, but like, maybe we should all treat ourselves like alcoholics, you know, maybe we should all go through a 12-step program.

You know, because that really.

That's, that's the answer right there.

I wish that was a required school, high school course, to be completely honest with you.

I think you, you you know, I've said alcoholics, recovering alcoholics, not the, you know, like, and I got another thing, the recovering alcoholics.

I love that.

They're going to, by the way,

it's the only way I can understand certain news, you know, like, and Bernie Sanders is, would be Donald Trump today if the election were held.

Then it makes sense.

Claire, I really think that recovery is what this country needs because you first have to admit that there's a higher power and you are powerless to fix the things there that are out of control.

And then you need to say,

you know what?

I've done a lot of things wrong and I apologize.

Boy, those just that would turn us around.

Yes, yes.

And on top of that, my need to convince you that everything that I say is right.

I can't be wrong.

You know, there's that, like, we can't have a discussion that's back and forth anymore.

It's like if you, you know, some of my friends, if I question them, which I'd done in the past on Facebook and got trounced severely, like, okay, I guess I won't touch that subject anymore.

So, I just hope that

being

a nice, sane person on Facebook who puts out some things, but is not, you know, in everybody's face all the time will maybe

allow some of my friends to check out some of the things that I post, pregnant you, walk away stories you know stuff like that but

unless it's face-to-face the argument is

is doomed

claire i will i will tell you this i applaud i applaud what you're doing i think you're on exactly the right track um

but uh

i have found that

Just living your life

as an example, not showing it off to anybody, just living your life and people seeing it and seeing how happy you are and how miserable they are without you ever saying it.

Without

when you share something from Prague or you,

you share it because you found truth in it.

And if people watch it or don't watch it, that's fine.

You're not trying to win or start an argument.

You will change the world.

Yeah, just put it out there.

So, and

I have written a 12, it's not a 12-step, but it's for people who don't think that they need a 12-step program.

It's kind of a,

you know, under the radar type of thing, hoping.

Would you send that to me?

Okay, hold on.

I'm going to put you on hold.

Yeah, I somehow, I mean, we get thousands every day, so I don't know how we missed it, but I'm going to put you on hold.

Talk to our producer, and I'll get it right away, and we'll share it.

Thank you so much, Claire.

All right.

All right, let me go to Nikki in North Carolina.

Hello, Nikki.

I live in Raleigh, North Carolina.

And

I grew up in Maine.

And you would think that I'm liberal, but I'm not.

My dad was very libertarian.

So I grew up with more of that sensibility.

And my husband is a native of North Carolina.

And in Raleigh, we call him a unicorn because there are so few natives around here.

So as I was telling the screener, we have a lot of exposure and a lot of interaction with native North Carolinians who are very conservative.

And when we are around each other, they talk very similar to Trump.

They do feel kind of empowered.

And sometimes it does bother me because I support a lot of Trump's policy.

I like a lot of the action that has been taken under Trump.

I don't love everything that he says and how he says it.

And so

I feel feel like Stu said the other day on

the News and Why It Matters, if you could kind of see him as the presidency without an actual figurehead.

And I thought that's genius because I do love what he's doing.

And I find here it's

before for the 2016 election, you didn't know that Trump supporters were in hiding.

And now I can see they're in hiding.

I see it personally.

I have a small business.

I can't say anything on social media that even remotely might be construed as supporting Trump or even any type of conservative, conservative agenda, or I'm a racist

and I am a terrible person and I don't love children.

And so Nikki, so so wait, so let me take that, let me ask you this and take it down one more step.

I think there are a lot of people that don't say things because they are afraid.

But I also think for the first time in my life, there are a lot of people that don't want to voice their support because we live in it.

That doesn't mean they don't support him, but because we live in an all or nothing kind of world, if you say, well, you know what?

I do support the president's policies, you're immediately with everything he says.

And I, you know,

I don't want to be a guy who says, oh, I love President Trump because I don't.

I have real significant issues with him on policies and some principles, but I'll vote for him this time, I'm pretty darn sure, because the other side is

going to destroy the economic world.

If Elizabeth Warren comes in and she implements her, you know, end of the free market system kind of policies,

it is global chaos and an end to America as we know it.

But that doesn't mean that I agree with everything he does because I'm a little nervous about him at times as well.

So do you think there's that

extra, what'd you say?

I feel the same way.

I feel like I don't have a choice in voting Democrat.

I wouldn't, but I could never vote for any of the Democratic candidates.

And again, I do like his policy, and I do agree.

I think that it is the second you, even if you don't say I support Trump if you just say something about supporting or being thankful for something that's happening in the economy, the job market,

or you know, our presence as just as a country, as a sovereign nation where he's finally standing up to other countries and saying, no, you cannot walk over the United States anymore.

We have to start taking care of our own and we have to respect that we have borders and we have to respect that, no, China, you can't take over everything.

And it's scary, it's very scary to think that it could affect our economy negatively, even doing that.

But if you say, I like the direction that is going in, immediately you and Trump are synonymous.

And that is a thing, I think.

Thank you, Nikki.

I think that is a huge, huge problem

for

Donald Trump

and America.

It's going to last long after Donald Trump.

But it is,

it's a real problem because if it suppresses the vote,

it'll be bad.

I'm hoping, you know,

I've taken heat from both sides for questioning and then for, oh, Glenn Beck's in love with him.

No, no.

I see what he is doing some of it like you know the the uh

it's just

just the way he just

the vitriol sometimes is is just unnecessary

and when when you see that you're like come on man i don't what are you doing but when you see some of the other stuff he's doing he is the clear guy to to take the next election and i'm not voting or doing anything this time

to

take away from his vote because if he doesn't win, what are we stuck with?

It is the, I mean, you thought Hillary Clinton was bad.

Look at the stated policies of the people who are running.

They are literally calling for the end of the free market.

That is the end of America.

And I'm really hoping that people will stand up and

at least in the voting booth

and say,

I just, I don't have any other choice here.

I don't have any other choice because there is no one sane that

is running on the left.

All right, let me pause for one minute.

Do you know what probably the single greatest enemy of gun rights in this country?

It's not a party or an individual.

It is ignorance or self-imposed apathy.

Having only the basic understanding of what the Second Amendment is, what it's designed to do, and all the laws surrounding it can be dangerous

if you don't know what you're talking about or if you're just oblivious to it.

You never, if you ever have to use a gun in self-defense for you or your family, the legal battle that you're going to face afterwards is crazy.

That's why the U.S.

Concealed Carry Association exists.

Ending today, they've been giving away 17 guns every single day to responsibly armed citizens like you and me.

All you have to do is text the word G-L-E-N-N to 87222 and claim your free entries.

The U.S.

CCA provides industry-leading self-defense education training, legal protection for Americans just like you and me.

They believe everyone has a right to be prepared and protected.

This offer is not going to last.

Neither will the guns.

You need to text right now to the number 87222, the word GLEN, G-L-E-N-N.

Confirmation text is going to be sent back to you.

That's Glenn, G-L-E-N-N, to the number 87222, 87222.

We pause for 10 seconds.

Station ID.

Let's say good morning to Stu, our executive producer.

Hello, Stu.

How are you?

Good morning, Stu.

Okay.

Okay.

Let me say hello to Stu.

What is this?

Burns and Allen.

There's a couple of things that are going on.

The amazing, amazing story about Joe Biden and how he got absolutely everything wrong in

this

war story that he told.

Are you following this at all?

Yeah, it's weird because,

I mean, he does seem to have the basic outline of the story right.

And it's funny because we're at the point with Joe Biden where if he's got the basic outline of it right, is it even a controversy?

I mean, he's usually so wrong that when he gets something like half right, you're like, wow, good work out there, Joe.

You're still chugging.

Keep going, grandpa.

It is.

You're still chugging.

I know.

We have this Joe Biden gaffe montage that keeps growing by the day.

That one's not even in there yet.

But it just keeps growing and growing and growing because really every day we could do stories about how he tells a story wrong, how he lies about something, how he fumbles over his words, how he seems to fall asleep in the middle of a sentence.

Whatever it is,

it's a heck of a...

I mean, you want to talk about a weak frontrunner, but seemingly both physically and in the polls.

Oh my gosh.

And yet the polls say that they're all leading Donald Trump.

We'll get to that coming up.

Is the Glembeck program ground, ground, ground, brown?

All right.

Let me tell you about our sponsor.

We want to really thank Norton Security.

You know, I don't know.

Now,

here is the latest from CNN on Biden.

He made a,

what would you call this?

Make, made up a story,

you know, did a story, but got all of the facts wrong.

I mean, again, from Joe, on the Joe Biden curve, this is one of the most accurate things he's ever said in his entire life.

Right.

No,

take off the Joe Biden curve.

Well, because he actually did, the story's about a soldier.

He went to pin a medal on him, and

the soldier apparently said, you know, I don't want this.

Don't even give me the medal because the, you know, his

fighting is, you know, brother-in-arms had already died, and he didn't feel good about taking it.

And it's kind of an uplifting story about the character of our military.

So all that happened.

Like, he did actually do it.

He did it when he was a senator, though, not the vice president.

And this is something that has been repeated over and over again.

The Parkland thing was another example of this where he was not vice president when he said he was vice president, meeting with the Parkland kids.

Of course, the shooting happened afterwards.

If he met with the Parkland kids about the shooting when he was vice president, what did he know and when did he know it?

That's what I want to ask.

So

he's one of these guys that he was plotting.

I met with the Parkland kids and plotted this whole thing.

He is one of those guys that I just, you know, his brain is not,

the wires aren't connecting.

And I think everybody

sees this.

Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into

a five-foot-10 vice president?

Is that what you're saying?

I don't.

Sorry, quoting Mel Brooks.

Listen to this.

This is Washington Washington Post.

One big question facing candidates and voters.

Now, this is about Joe Biden from Brian Stelter.

One big question facing candidates and voters is whether President Trump's routine falsehoods have changed the standards

by which other presidential aspirants should be judged.

Okay, okay, wait, wait,

wait.

I thought this was about Joe Biden.

The Washington Post,

the revelations about Joe Biden's completely botching, botching a war story.

Last Friday in the campaign trail in New Hampshire, the Democratic

forerunner told a moving but false story about a Navy captain who, despite his bravery, felt like a failure.

The problem is, except, this is quoting the Post, except almost every detail in the story seems to be incorrect.

More than a dozen, they spoke to more than a dozen U.S.

troops, their commanders, and Biden campaign officials to figure out what actually happened.

They concluded that, quote, Biden jumbled elements of at least three actual events in the story of bravery, compassion, and regret that never happened.

The bottom line is, in the space of three minutes, Biden got the time period, the location, the heroic act, the type of medal, the military branch, and the rank of the recipient wrong, as well as his own role in the ceremony.

So bizarre.

I mean, because

like none of those, and this is what's weird about Biden.

None of those things make the story better.

The story isn't better because he's vice president.

The story isn't better because he's in a different location.

The story isn't better because it's one type of a medal over another type of a medal.

He just doesn't seem to remember anything.

And again, it seems to come back to that same thing where there's just like a

mental,

a normal mental brain function that occurs in your average person is occurring in a different way in Joe Biden's head.

And I think it's been like that for a while.

It just seems to be getting much, much worse.

And the important thing here, as far as Democrat voters go, has nothing to do with whether he ever tells another thing that's true in his entire life, whether he ever tells another story that's true.

The issue with Democratic voters here is for them to figure out whether he is so far gone, he's not going to be able to win this election.

The second the Democrats believe these issues lead to him losing to Donald Trump is when he's no longer the frontrunner.

He's Hillary Clinton.

Yeah, I mean.

The minute they realize he can't, he's Hillary Clinton.

They will treat him like Hillary Clinton.

Now,

Devon Cole from CNN notes, Biden made other several misstatements, not lies, misstatements at the same New Hampshire event last Friday, including one about how many visits he made to Afghanistan and Iraq.

But two wrongs don't make a right.

Now, listen to this.

How do you feel?

Now, this is about Biden.

How do you feel about how this may relate to how you feel about Donald Trump?

Lots of progressives are all up in my Twitter mentions saying this Biden story doesn't matter because Trump is a pathological liar and lots of conservatives are promoting the Biden story for obvious reasons.

Yeah, here's the obvious reason.

I think he is mentally not fit anymore.

He's not the same guy that he was four years ago.

He is stumbling over his own words.

He looks like he's beginning to go senile.

And that's not conservatives saying that.

That's also a lot of liberals saying that.

But he goes on, but the bar should stay high even if Trump constantly finds way to go lower and lower.

Then he writes, here's the counter argument.

Now, let me ask you this.

Have you heard them have a counter argument for Donald Trump getting things wrong ever?

Right, there's never been an excuse where they're like, look, what he probably meant here was this.

They actually jump jump on it the complete opposite way.

They look for anything he says that's the slightest bit off and then act as if he's making a major policy statement.

You know, this goes back to things like even going back to the very classic example from 2015 where he came down the escalator and said, you know, look, we've got rapists coming across the border.

Everybody who listened to that speech could easily tell that what he is talking about is, are there some?

Yeah.

I mean, the answer to that is yes.

There have been a lot of criminals that have come across the border.

Everybody on earth knows that.

He wasn't saying everybody in Mexico is a rapist, right?

He's saying that, look, we have a problem with crime coming across the border.

And most people were able to decipher that if they were being honest.

But if you go the other way and you just act as if the exact thing he says is a major policy statement, it gets you a lot of clicks.

You get a lot of outrage clicks.

And that is what the media has decided to do with this president.

It's unbelievable.

It's unbelievable they will talk down the economy and they are capable of doing it uh they will never give the president the benefit of the doubt now look

if you want to understand this president you watch what he does

not what he says they've they've they've known this since the 1970s with donald trump donald trump is p.t barnum donald Trump knows how to manipulate the press to be able to get coverage.

Now,

he should change that, but he's been doing it his whole life.

So you're asking to teach an old dog new tricks.

He doesn't feel comfortable when people aren't talking about him.

That's the way he's lived his entire life.

And we've all known that he's hype.

We've all known this.

We all knew when we voted for him, or, you know, when people voted for him, that

that's baked in.

There's not a single person that I know that really, when it comes down to it at the dead of night, doesn't know that Donald Trump just kind of is loose with the facts, to put it kindly.

It's not why they voted for him.

They voted for him because he said, I will be your president.

And there are so many people in this country that feel like they've just been walked on constantly.

They feel as though,

you know, I'm called a racist no matter what I do.

And I'm not a racist.

And I've been called a racist for the last 15 years at least by this media.

They're not going to give me a counter argument on what I really said.

They're They're not going to give me the benefit of the doubt ever.

They're not going to make, they're not going to, when I say something, they're not going to make it about Barack Obama.

You know, I heard a story today from NPR.

They were talking about these people who are in the streets saying,

stop the coup, stop the coup.

Well, I know where stop the coup is coming from.

This is the Boris Johnson story where he has suspended

parliament.

Well, that's not unusual.

It's just two weeks longer than usual.

It usually lasts about three weeks.

It happens every year.

Longer ones happen

many times once the prime minister takes over, a new prime minister.

He's asking for two more weeks than three.

The queen approves.

Now they are in the streets and they're saying this is a coup.

Now, NPR reported this story story as

Londoners, people gathered in the streets.

They're very upset at Boris Johnson and what they claim is a coup.

And then they played this whole thing and they talked to one of the people.

They never said these are Labor Party members.

They never said these are the socialist radicals.

They never said any of that.

Where if we were on the street, we would immediately be branded as extreme right wing or a small group of people who are very anti-government are protesting in the streets.

That's the kind of coverage we get.

And that's why people elected Donald Trump.

And the more the press continues to harp on him unfairly in many cases, fairly in others.

They harp on him and never give him the benefit of the doubt and continue to call anyone who supports him a racist, a homophobe.

I don't know how this guy's a homophobe.

He's the first guy to run on gay rights.

Nobody else, Barack Obama, nobody else did that.

He ran.

He had a gay

speaker

in a prominent position.

at the GOP convention.

How is this guy anti-gay again?

I can't figure it out.

I can't do the math.

Yeah,

I think one of the issues here is that to understand Donald Trump, you have to know that he sees the entire world and everything he does every day as a negotiation.

So he's constantly in the middle of a negotiation.

And you could look at it and you could say,

we should listen to every word he says and freak out about it.

Or you can look at his actions.

For example,

with North Korea.

He has said both, we are going to bomb the hell out of you and fire and fury is coming.

And also, Kim Jong-un is a good guy.

And

we're going to negotiate and talk, and I think we're going to get to a wonderful solution.

Well, which one of those is true?

I mean, probably, certainly not the fire and fury thing.

Donald Trump has a long history of wanting to avoid conflict internationally.

And as you've seen in the past few months, when they're firing missile after missile after missile, and he's just like, well, look, they're not violating the agreement.

Everything's fine.

He obviously feels that he would rather avoid conflict.

He's trying to negotiate.

With China, there's another situation, right?

He said over and over again, we're going to have a big trade war.

And he's also said, you know what, we should go to zero tariffs.

Well, which one of those do you believe?

You could freak out every time if you're a protectionist and you're like, oh, he's going to go to zero tariffs.

Donald Trump's a bad guy.

Why is he abandoning his principles on protectionism?

Well, he's not.

Look at his actions.

His actions are he's,

you know, it's not a negotiation.

He likes tariffs.

He's he's hiked them over and over and over again.

Russia is another example, right?

Over and over again, people have said, well, he's way too kind to Russia.

He said all these nice things about Russia.

What has his administration done with Russia?

They've been way more harsh on Russia than Barack Obama was.

Over and over and over again, they've sanctioned them, and they've done much more pushing back against Russia than Barack Obama ever contemplated.

So when you look at those things as a whole, you realize that when Trump is speaking publicly, he's typically looking to massage a situation into an area where he wants it, right?

And a lot of that has to, right, to win.

He wants to win.

And if he believes that winning

is the trade war, he'll say what he believes at that time

that will give him an advantage in that negotiation.

And if you see how he negotiates for real estate deals, he plays hardball.

And then it's over.

And then he's like, that's my best friend.

He is just negotiating, and no one can see that.

No, no, everyone can see that.

No one will give him the

respect to be able to say, the guy is one hell of a negotiator because he scares the hell out of the other side.

And you never know

he might do that.

I don't know.

All right, back in a minute.

Somewhere in America, within the sound of my voice, there is a man riding a horse across a vast range of territory.

And every day, this kind of

they just kind of blend into the next day.

That's the way it is when you're working out in the open and on the range.

The sun rises, the sun sets through a filter of plume dust and the sound of thousands of hooves as God's creatures seek forage.

This man, he is comfortable atop of a horse in this modern age.

He works hard, steadily, his eyes never straying too far

ahead of the frontier that lies just before him.

He's always watching just the nose of the front cattle.

His Takovas boots are comfortable, durable, and they relate to the world of

his choosing and his sense of purpose.

Perhaps they take on a sense of a former better age.

This man's frontier.

It's still to tame the West.

You know, Takova's boots are made from the most exotic leathers available.

They're handcrafted by world-class bootmakers.

Takes 200 steps to manufacture a pair of Takovas boots, and yet their boots cost about half of what a similar boot costs.

Check out not only their selection of boots, but all the other fine leather and clothing products that they make.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

We have the one and only Bill O'Reilly giving us

his digest.

Yeah, just one week from today.

It's going to be great.

He's fantastic when he comes back from Labor Day weekend vacation.

Oh, you're kidding me?

He's not on today?

No, he's on next week.

Oh, I missed him.

Oh, I miss Bill and his grumpy attitude.

Let's bring on an impersonator and have him say things that Bill wouldn't say to get him in trouble.

So he has to come back from vacation early.

That's right.

He's got to come back from vacation to correct all the lies.

This is the Glenbeck program.

You know, I want to start next hour with

another AOC beautiful moment.

And I think the only way to really understand AOC is if you're hammered, if you're

completely intoxicated,

then she starts to make sense.

Maybe, maybe.

I'll prove that point coming up in just a second.

Also, we want to talk a little bit about Mike Lee.

And,

you know, I called Mike Lee, you know,

Tucker Carlson came after Mike Lee and exposed him.

And I read the story and I'm like, whoa.

And I immediately called Mike Lee and said, dude, what is the deal?

And

he said, I'll tell you what the deal is.

Once you understand

just even where Tucker Carlson got this story,

it's not good.

It's just not good.

We'll talk about that also.

The U.S.

State Department removes all mentions of Palestinian authority.

What?

What was that?

All coming up in just a moment.

Hello, America.

It's Friday, which makes AOC

a little easier to dismiss.

You hear crazy stuff from her every day.

On a Monday, you're like, oh, this is going to suck this week.

But on Friday, it's a little easier to laugh.

And laugh, we shall.

Okay, could we play the AOC audio that people are confused about capitalism?

People talk about, oh my gosh, like socialism, this, socialism, that.

Let's talk about capitalism.

Okay, let's, what is capitalism?

I think that capitalism and the idea of capitalism gets confused by a lot of people.

I think capitalism, a lot of people think about capitalism and they're like, oh, capitalism, that means businesses, right?

That means a free market, right?

That means competing

for

having different products compete on the market, right?

That's what capitalism is, right?

That's not...

what capitalism is.

You can have free market economies with many, with mixed economies,

which mixed economies exist.

You can have free market economies with democratic socialist businesses.

What on earth is a democratic socialist business?

And a perfect example of that is worker cooperatives.

So worker cooperatives are,

you know, if you ever go to

Vermont or if you go to upstate New York, there'll be grocery stores that are employee owned or they are cooperative, which means that

people own the shares and workers own the shares in the company.

So, a more democratically quote-unquote socialist business would have workers on the board of the corporation

instead.

Stop talking, or I'm going to be completely hammered because I can't take this without out.

So, it's really about democracy in the economy.

I don't believe in government.

It does not mean government owns everything.

Socialism does not mean government owns everything.

It does exactly mean that.

now now now i think she is she's got a cute little uh uh uh idea

it because as if you look at cooperatives because they do these a lot like they'll have a

team-built uh

store like a deli or something and i

hear about them all the time because i'm reading about how they always go out of business and you're like why do they go out of business Because it doesn't, it, it doesn't, uh, it doesn't work.

Uh, that, that, uh, that's why.

Now, I sure, I'm sure, I, I'm positive that

some of them do work.

I just don't know where they work.

The same thing with socialism.

Now, she says, in there, you know, you could, you can have all

you could have all kinds.

There's a lot of varieties of socialism.

And I looked it up in Webster's dictionary, and it's true.

There are three kinds of socialism.

And I think she does.

She's right when she says

people get confused.

And so I did my homework.

And it makes

a lot of sense to me when you go to Webster's and you look up

socialism.

There's three definitions.

One,

any various economic and

political theory advocating collective or government ownership and

people running the means of production and distribution of goods.

So that's the really

hardcore

socialist

kind of thing.

That's where, hey, that's not Sweden, I'll tell you that.

So maybe

we can find Sweden under number two.

It's a system of society or group living in which there is

in which there is no private property.

So that's not sweet.

Okay, two has a B

and uh is to be definition

to be to be or not

a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state.

Okay, so uh don't really know the difference between one and two because they both they both suck.

It must be number three

definition of socialism uh by Marion Webster, who

I think I dated Marian at one point.

A stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between

capitalism and

communism

and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and

pay according to work done.

I don't even know what the hell that means, but it's got a spooky word of communism in it.

So it's pro is probably, it's probably,

I think AOC is confused.

Very confused.

This is

absolutely outrageous how they are trying to redefine absolutely everything.

And she's a dope.

She's an absolute.

If I were BU, Boston University, where she went went and she got her

degree in economics

and world politics,

I would be so humiliated.

I would be watching her.

If I was the president of BU, I'd be like,

did she steal her diploma?

And did she actually ever go here?

Because if this is the kind of crap we're turning out,

we should all go to prison because she's not very smart

maybe we have more co-op liquor stores that's the way we solve the aoc

issue i i love that idea

there's not enough booze for americans if her kind are running the country there's just not enough booze i love the her really innovative point of you know there are things called mixed economies and those exist exist.

They do exist, you know, in every country that's ever existed.

Yes, they've all had mixed economies.

Like, yes, it's true that, like, we're, you know,

there's pure communism.

I mean, even

that, they kind of turn into,

you know, there's a lot of oligarchs in

communism.

And there's also black markets that pop up like crazy.

There's no way to have a pure

example of these systems.

These are theoretical systems.

It's interesting, though, that she applies the purity only to capitalism, right?

Like she's trying to make this case in which

she can be socialist but not mean the definition out of the dictionary that you just talked about.

But on the other hand, capitalism, well, that's not what you're thinking about when you're talking about the free market.

Well, that's a massive element of what capitalism is.

And the thing that's missing out of capitalism are the policies that you're pushing for.

The things like, you know, Medicare for all and the Green New Deal and various other programs dating back half a century.

But what I love is

she says, you know, what we're talking about here is, you know, a mixed economy.

Socialism does not mean that the government runs everything.

I just gave you the three definitions of socialism in the dictionary, and all of them include ownership of the, you know, of the production lines.

Your own Green Deal job says it's a fundamental transformation of this economy.

And it talks about the industries that will have to be taken over by the government.

How is that not the textbook definition of socialism?

Yeah,

she's trying to have

the one with the gulags and stuff.

She's trying to have this little middle ground, which is like, well, what do you like?

That's socialism.

What don't you like?

That's capitalism.

That is the extent of her knowledge on this topic.

And again, I think BU, when they gave her the diploma, had already gone to the co-op liquor store a few too many times because it does not seem to be that she understands any of these issues.

All right.

I've sobered up a little bit, and I want to take you to another story.

This is from Real Clear Politics.

On his August 20th Fox News show, Tucker Carlson detailed how Senate Antitrust Subcommittee chairperson Mike Lee transformed one of Google's harshest critics into one of his most loyal defenders faster than you can say monopoly.

From 2011 to 2015, Lee pressed the Federal Trade Commission to pursue antitrust violations against Google for its internet search dominance, grilled its CEO Eric Schmidt for the company's abuses, and supported the European Union's investigation into the search engine giant.

After the FTC slapped Google on the wrist, he said he would investigate the Obama White House's improper interference with the investigation.

But now, according to Tucker Carlson, he has done a complete 180.

As a possible explanation for the flip-flop, Carlson pointed to investigation or to investments in YouTube, I'm sorry, in Utah by Google and Facebook, along with Google's fundraising for Lee.

The two-term senator declined an invitation to discuss the issues on the show.

Okay.

Now, let me give you

this from Mike Lee.

Mike is a friend of mine.

Mike and I have spent lots of time recently talking about Google, talking about how do you

use the law without bastardizing the law, without creating a situation which

at least as a constitutional conservative, I don't want, I don't want the government to overstep its bounds.

Once we do this,

it's just going to happen over and over again.

And Mike doesn't want to overstep the bounds, yada, yada.

So I've been talking to him one-on-one recently about Google.

I am constantly talking to to him about: look at what Google's doing here, look at what Google's doing there.

I have set up conversations with him and others, or at least offered those conversations.

Whether they happen or not, I don't know.

So he's passionate about it, and I know it.

He knows what's going on.

So I immediately, yesterday, when I saw that story, I immediately called Mike and said, dude,

what is this about?

He sent this to me.

Let me just read it to you.

The Tom Steyer-funded left-wing attack group CRU,

which has sued President Trump more than 175 times, recently spun off a new attack

attack

entity devoted to attacking conservatives over technology issues.

This new entity from Tom Steyer attacked Senator Mike Lee for allegedly changing his position on antitrust laws due to lengthy, multifaceted campaign by Google and other big technology companies.

Now,

let's just dissect this as we go along.

You notice anything about that, Stu?

Anything important

stand out to you?

Well, usually there's not a lot of conservative attacks that are

foundationally based on a Tom Steyer attack group.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So let's start there.

I'm going to take a one-minute break and then just give us a little look at Tom Steyer's more than just a candidate who spent millions and millions of dollars to become president and just has been excluded from the debate.

He's more than just a two-time loser.

He's a very powerful guy.

And Stu will explain who Tom Steyer is coming up in just a second.

And then I'll tell you what Mike Lee was really saying and really doing

coming up in just a second.

So yesterday we're moving furniture and all kinds of stuff.

Oh,

that is so good for your back.

That is so good for your body.

You just wake up the next morning.

You're like, oh,

I feel good.

Except the opposite is true.

That's why you should maybe think about relief factor.

Relief factor reduces the inflammation in your body.

And it's the inflammation that not only causes pain in your body, it is also just so detrimental to your life on so many levels.

Inflammation is kind of the bad guy.

Relief factor reduces that inflammation.

And we're talking about not only just like, hey, I moved into a new house and decided to do it all myself.

Yeah, you can go from that kind of pain to, I'm in chronic pain every single day and I can't live this way anymore.

Relief Factor works for 70% of the people who try it.

It works for me.

They offer a quick start trial.

It's a three-week trial, cost you 20 bucks, to see if it works for you.

If it works for you, order more.

70% of the people that order the quick start go on to order more every single month.

It's Relief Factor, relief factor.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

So, Tom Snyer has funded a left-wing attack group, CRU,

which has sued President Trump more than 175 times.

Well, they recently started another attack group.

This new entity is going after Mike Lee for allegedly changing his position on antitrust laws due to a lengthy, multifaceted campaign by Google and other big technology companies.

Now, Tucker Carlson, for some reason, decided to use the information from this attack group funded by Tom Steyer, a Democratic candidate.

But he's more than just a Democratic candidate.

Stu, can you give me some highlights?

You know, the guy's a billionaire hedge fund manager.

We have something coming up in the next week or two on the TV show kind of profiling him.

And we can go into that a little bit more.

But he's, you know, made tons and tons of money,

A billionaire hedge fund guy that wound up turning on capitalism and deciding it's a terrible thing.

He's very big in the

anti-business sort of global warming world, right?

He's a big

funder of climate change causes.

In fact, he's a bigger funder than like a George Soros.

People think of Soros as the biggest guy because he's the best known name, but Steyer actually dumped a lot more money into this recently.

He then launched almost immediately after President Trump's election an effort to impeach him and started a group designated to do this.

If you've turned on MSNBC or CNN over the past couple of years, first of all, what happened?

Second of all, you probably saw a commercial from Tom Steyer looking very nicely at the camera with a fire behind him telling you why you should impeach President Trump.

He put tons and tons of money into this.

The outcome of that, of course, you may know Donald Trump's still in office.

However, Tom Steyer was able to get an email list of about 7 million names where he is now fundraising for his presidential campaign off of that.

He's saying he's going to spend about $100 million on his campaign to be president.

He did not qualify for

the September debate, as you point out, Glenn, but he most likely will for the next one.

So he will probably get on stage unless they do something as far as changing the rules for the October debate.

So basically, he is a George Soros,

except

much more cloaked.

He's the guy in the background.

He's the guy the Emperor was working for.

You know what I'm saying?

Oh, you don't?

Yes, because they never talk about him.

Tom Styre is in the background funding a lot of these things like Soros.

So that's where this is coming from in the first place.

And Tucker Carlson picked up on that.

But then Mike Lee would like to clarify a few things.

And when you hear why he has not flip-flopped why he's made the statements he has, it makes perfect sense.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

All right.

So, Mr.

Beck, you're going to tell us our sponsor, of course, here in this half hour.

It is Goldline.

Yesterday, we talked about recessions and why they seem to hit every seven to ten years.

We have talked a lot about the economy this week, and I have to tell you,

if you believe what I'm talking to you about,

if you really listened this week, your eyes were opened up, hopefully, and you see that there are many, many forces that would like to collapse this whole system and we have to be we're the only ones that can really save it are the american people you need to diversify and please consider gold line gold has just hit a six-year high i think it's going to continue to grow um i buy it not as an investment i buy it as a as a insurance against insanity.

I want you to do your homework and please call them now,

Goldline, 1-866-Goldline.

Get some of your money in gold, please.

If you use the promo code Glenn, you'll save 10 bucks off your subscription.

All the conservative voices in one place.

Welcome to the program.

This is the Glenn Beck program, and I want to make clear that this program has a very long and extensive list of having no friends and a long record of that, and a long list of people that hate my guts that used to be my friend.

I still, you know, in many cases, still hold them as friends.

I just can't support them anymore because they've flip-flopped or whatever.

And that usually happens.

And quite honestly,

because

as Oren Hatch said at one point, which should have said something about

Oren Hatch to Oren Hatch, I've never seen a man enter this chamber and leave a better man.

So it's just a matter of time before they just, you know, are worn down by the battery acid of politics.

But one guy who I do not think has changed one bit

is Mike Lee.

I have not seen, and I watch him

because I've told him, Mike, if you go dark, I'm just going to have to just get out of this business.

Because if you go dark, there's no chance.

I mean, you have the best chance of being that beacon.

And we have to have somebody that is

educated on the Constitution and is reasonable, rational, isn't a firebomber,

but holds true to that constitution.

And so I'm watching him because

I will tell him.

And if it means that

I destroy a friendship, well, then I destroy a friendship.

I've done it before.

In fact, I do it every time with everyone in Washington because they all

go dark.

Mike Lee has not.

And so I was really disturbed when I read this story about him flip-flopping in Google and there's you know Google payouts and everything else.

In looking at this, first of all, it's Tom Steyer.

So he is a he's a George Soros type that is funding this attack on Mike Lee.

Tucker Carlson goes on and

he does this big Mike Lee is a flip-flopper.

Well, he's not a flip-flopper.

If you do your homework, Mike Lee, and there's a big explanation, a really good explanation of what Mike is doing.

And you can find it at lee.senate.gov.

And you can

read the article for yourself.

I urge you to read this article.

The story is that he flip-flopped because they did, you know, Google is

all over, you know, cooking the books, if you will, on their search engine.

And Mike Lee is very well aware of it.

I have spoken to him multiple times over the last

couple of months for sure, but it's an ongoing conversation.

I know he's aware of it, and he is trying to find the ways that are legal, constitutional, that don't cut any corners.

Because Mike knows once you start undermining the Constitution in any way,

you are going to turn it all over to politicians, and they will just destroy everything.

So I invite you to read that at Mike Lee's website and really read it and try to understand what Mike is saying.

But let me just read a couple of the emails that I got from Mike yesterday.

He said, Glenn, we have to resist the impulse to conclude that because big tech does some really bad things that we don't like, that that means that antitrust laws hold a remedy.

He says that what's happening right now is

politicians, and this is a movement from the left, that what they really want to do is change the way we do antitrust.

Antitrust, he has made it very clear for 10 years that antitrust should be about consumer welfare, not politics.

So if Google, his complaint on Google is they're stacking the deck and they're pointing you to things that they own, things that they get kickbacks on,

as well as politics, where you can't find the truth and that is costing you more money.

And so antitrust must be about the consumer and consumers' welfare.

But there is this movement now that the left is trying to change the antitrust law so that consumer welfare is no longer the governing standard.

It seeks to jettison the modern evidence-based focus on protecting competition in favor of a long-abandoned approach that bases antitrust enforcement on purely political objectives.

So, Mike writes to me and says, Look, we have to hold this back.

We can't let the antitrust laws be used by politicians, even if we agree.

He said, I fear what precedent this might set where political lines have been drawn in a business setting.

Then he points me to the website to read more about it, and I have.

And he writes back, and he says, this is the problem with the hatchet job that is being done right now.

And I assume that is not only by Tom Steyer and the left, but also I would put Tucker Carlson into that category.

He says, Tucker hasn't explained what it is that I've done wrong, just that I am wrong and that I flip-flopped.

He doesn't acknowledge that I'm a lawmaker and I am speaking, or and he is he is framing it that I am speaking as if I were a law enforcement officer.

I'm not a law enforcement officer.

So, what do I do?

I'm open to ideas, but don't believe existing antitrust laws provide a remedy for what people hate.

And they believe, and I believe they're a risk trying to shoehorn something into existing law.

This is one of the conversations that Mike and I had over lunch about four weeks ago.

He's like, Glenn, you know, it seems so easy.

He said, but you have to understand everything is a can of worms.

And if you open it up,

you better be sure that that solves the problem and doesn't create other problems.

So this is not about, you know, campaign donations or Google moving into the state or investing in his state.

It has nothing to do with that.

And if it does, if it ever did, or if it ever does,

you will will hear it from me and i will have you've heard me do it before

uh i will have those people on and as i told mike uh the very first time we spoke if you're not exactly what you say you are if you start fooling around i will become your worst stinking nightmare

You have heard me do it before.

I'll do it with Mike Lee, but this is trumped-up bull crap that is coming from the left.

Do not be fooled by it.

Yeah, it's possible Tucker Carlson could try to get some additional perspective from Tucker Carlson from 2009 to 2015,

where he was a much more libertarian guy, a guy who, I mean, those are literally the dates he was a fellow at the Cato Institute.

2009 to 2015.

Think for a second about that era.

Like 2009, right at the beginning with Obama, when the Libertarian, the Tea Party thing rises, right?

2015, Donald Trump comes down the escalator.

This is, you know, Tucker seems to be just wait a few years, Mike, and ask Tucker again.

And Tucker will be more than happy to understand that maybe businesses shouldn't be forcing, be forced by government and retrofit into laws, whether you like it or not.

You might think, I like, I do not like a lot of the things that big tech does.

But there is a temptation, and Tucker is one of the big proponents of this theory,

to

take the apparatus of the government and start doing things we like with it, whether the process is there, whether the law allows for it or not.

And that is not ⁇ it's a temptation.

That will work out.

It's a progressive temptation, right?

We've seen this over and over again with Republicans who

embrace sort of this bigger government progressive idea when they're in office because, you know what?

We like these things.

Yes, we know maybe the government shouldn't be doing all of them, but in this particular case it's something we want so therefore we do it um you look i there's a lot of things that i would love to do with the government power everyone wants to be king um but we don't have a king there's a there's a good reason we don't and the the idea that we are supposed to now just jump into

i mean you know he's every night he's on television telling us how we need to

how the the guidance of letting the market work was wrong.

It was, I mean, this is a guy who's wrong.

He's wrong on that.

I agree.

However, who is this guy?

He was at the Cato for a while.

Okay,

I'll tell you who this guy is.

This is a guy who is,

quite honestly, listening to the people.

And I'm not going to assign motives for this

because some people think this is really important.

Our founders did not.

But he is listening to the pain of the people.

And so what he's saying is, we have to fix these things at all costs.

And that will only end up with more pain because we will go even further away from the Constitution.

And so he is on the good side.

Tucker is,

I think, in touch with the American people.

He is listening to them.

He is hearing it.

He has become a populist.

And you can become very cynical about that.

And I'm not going to assign any intent behind Tucker Carlson.

However, he is voicing the concerns of the American people.

I just think that he is

abandoned every principle he's ever had to do that.

And I think it's dangerous.

And I think you're right, though.

I mean, it's not, I'm not assigning anything negative.

He may have just changed his mind, right?

A lot of people have over the years.

That's totally fine, but this is in the context of him essentially accusing Mike Lee of being bought off by Google.

Like,

you can't have your history

and expect no one to assign some negative motivation for it when you're assigning a negative motivation to Mike Lee, a guy who stood in the same place the entire time.

I mean, this guy has been consistent with his principles from day one.

And

it's just hard to take.

It's hard to take from someone who has changed broadly over the years.

And there's nothing wrong with changing.

A lot of people have done it.

There's nothing wrong with it.

But you can't sit here and accuse everybody that you disagree with of being motivated

by grift when you know you've changed just as much and much, much more than Mike Lee.

I mean, it's not even remotely close.

All right, back with more news of the day.

Bill O'Reilly is off this week because of Labor Day.

He'll be joining us again next week.

Just a reminder: I'll be in Los Angeles

Monday.

I'm actually hosting the Dave Rubin show.

He goes away for about 40 days, 30, 40 days every year.

And then he comes back, and he has usually really great perspective.

And he asked me if I would host his return and

probe into what he has found with his perspective this time.

And so I'll be doing that.

I think we're taping that on Tuesday.

I don't know when it runs.

It may run Tuesday.

So we'll be out in Los Angeles next week.

Pray for me.

And then back in Texas at the end of the week.

This is the Glimpack program.

Hello, America.

It's Friday.

Stu,

have you seen The Peanut Butter Falcon yet?

I have not.

I've heard really good things about it, though.

It's a movie, if you don't know, it's, I guess, would you call it sort of like independent art house-ish

type of thing?

It's not a major, major movie, but it's supposed to be really, really well done.

They say that everybody I have talked to that has seen this movie has called me as they're leaving the theater and they've said, Glenn, you have to see this movie.

You will laugh,

you will cry,

and at the same time, you'll be laughing.

It is supposedly one of the

best

stories and well-done films that just touches you.

It's

introducing a new actor who has

Down syndrome and he wants to be a wrestler.

And his wrestling name is the Peanut Butter Falcon.

And

it's this journey of misfits

that is apparently just fantastic.

I haven't seen it yet.

Have you seen the Dave Chappelle special?

Netflix, yes.

Yeah.

It's making a lot of noise, and he's angering all the right people, oddly.

Exactly right.

You know,

can we spend some time at the beginning of next hour?

Because I want to talk about this because something is happening.

And

this special

really

is

a sign of things are turning.

Between this and the Joe Rogan special, I don't know if you saw that, but there's some interesting observations.

Comedy is coming back with a vengeance.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Hello, America.

It's Friday.

But I have even better news.

America, it is Friday leading into a three-day weekend.

Yes,

thank goodness.

And we have the socialists to thank for this three-day weekend.

More on that in one minute.

This is the Glenbag program.

So one of the listeners to my program, program, Carolyn, wrote in and she said, Glenn, I have to tell you, I have had a very profound experience using the 23andMe health and ancestry kit.

It ended up uniting her with her twin brother, Charles.

Apparently, as babies, the two adoptees, separated since the age of two, did not know about each other.

The reunion, she assured me, was one of the most moving moments in her life.

I can't even imagine finding out, taking a DNA test.

And if you opt in to find your relatives, you can go online and it'll tell you how you're related.

And it's really an amazing thing.

You don't have to opt in on that, but it's free.

And so she must have

opted into that.

And imagine finding your brother that you didn't know existed.

This sort of thing happens all the time.

I mean, I would love to work at 23andMe just to hear the stories, the millions of stories that must come in.

23andMe, it will help you unlock your past, and in the process, you can learn about your genetic heritage, where you came from in the world, and most importantly, you can learn important information about your health, such as whether or not you have a likelihood for blood sugar regulation disorders.

They don't diagnose disease or describe overall likelihood of developing any disease, but 23andMe tests

selected genetic variants only.

So visit 23andMe.com slash Beck and get this important test information.

Order your health and ancestry kit at 23andMe.com slash Beck.

You can meet your genes in 125 different personalized genetic reports.

To better know who you are, you need to know where you came from.

You might even find out that you have a brother.

The number is 23andMe.com slash Beck.

well welcome to labor day

labor day weekend you know as a kid growing up it labor day weekend just meant the end of summer and white pants couldn't wear white pants anymore white shoes um which i don't even think is a fashion there are no fashion rules anymore i don't think um anyway labor day that's what it always meant to me that on the Labor Day weekend, you would watch the Jerry Lewis telethon, and the next day you were going to school.

Oof.

It was the end of

your childhood summer times.

But, you know,

it actually was started by the Marxists.

the socialists

to extol the power of the unions and the workers of the world unite on labor day but i don't think anybody thinks of it that way i guess some do

but almost every holiday this is going to blow your mind almost every holiday

that uh

that has come after probably 1880 1890 maybe

has really been a socialist kind of thing

And then they perverted the other holidays.

Do you know that we didn't, when, during the founding, Stu,

during the founding, you know, we didn't celebrate Christmas, right?

We celebrated Christmas, but you did, it was not a holiday.

Did you know that?

I don't know that I knew that.

Maybe I did at one point, but it didn't off the top of my head ring a bell.

Yeah.

I mean, you didn't have

national holidays.

It wasn't really like a big thing at that point, was it?

No, but Christmas was always a holiday.

I mean, Christmas, I mean, these were Christians.

But do you know why we didn't have Christmas?

We didn't have Grinch.

We didn't have.

Yes.

Have you seen that documentary?

Yes, it's really good.

It's powerful.

Right.

With George Washington as a who.

We didn't have Christmas, not because it wasn't the federal government's position, but because it was considered garish

to, on the day that Christ was born, that you would take a day off

and not work.

Yeah, what did you do for it you didn't do anything you know right

nor can you do anything for it right

you know that should be labor day

uh but anyway so we didn't we we didn't uh do it because we thought it would be too commercialized it's it was a very private thing people worked and then they went home and they had their christmas meal

Do you know now when we did make Christmas a holiday?

I did not know I had a quiz today, but no, I don't know off the top of my head.

Take a guess.

When did Christmas become something we celebrated by taking the day off?

Last Thursday.

I don't know.

Shut up.

1870.

That's my next guess.

1870 or last Thursday.

Of course.

That's crazy, though.

Yeah, I mean, it seems recent for something like that.

Right.

So we had in 1870, we adopted New Year's Day as a day off, the 4th of July Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas.

Even though we already celebrated all of those, we didn't have the day off.

And that was at the beginning.

And isn't it interesting?

In 1858, Marx writes his manifesto.

In 1870, Paris, the communist riots are going on, and we're beginning to be influenced by Marxism and socialists.

1880 is when we really start to go hard left

because our people like Woodrow Wilson are coming back home from school in

Germany, and so they're picking up all of this crap.

So listen to this.

In 1880, we get Washington's birthday.

In 1894, when just before

Roosevelt starts the Progressive Party, we get Labor Day.

Then we get Armistice Day in 1936.

That's to recognize

the end of the war.

In

1968, that's changed to Veterans Day.

During the

Roosevelt time, we changed Thanksgiving, which was meant to be really, really really sacred.

And we celebrated from George Washington, we celebrated Thanksgiving Day, just no day off on it, no holiday.

And we celebrated it, and we had it on the last Thursday of

November.

But during the Depression,

we bastardized it.

We took this really sacred holiday, and Roosevelt moved it to the third Thursday so you could have a Black Friday and have shopping season last longer.

I mean, you want to talk about your gods.

Columbus Day is 1968.

MLK was 1983.

It blows my mind that

it wasn't until 1870

that it was a day off for things like Christmas.

How much we have changed as a nation.

Now, you could have taken it off.

You could have given it, you know, to your staff if you wanted to.

You could, you know, everybody was free to do whatever they wanted.

We didn't even have a standard flag.

You could make a flag and you could put the stars any way you want.

You could do anything you want with the flag up until Woodrow Wilson.

We didn't have a national anthem until FDR.

That's crazy.

how we have now become so nationalized where we were the exact opposite a hundred years ago.

All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about the Dave Chappelle special on Netflix.

Everyone tells me, they're like, Glenn, it is the funniest thing ever.

It is so brilliant.

It's blah, blah, blah.

It is brave.

It is funny.

It's foul in case you, you know, are

you know offended by language.

It is very foul.

But I don't think it's.

I think we are forgetting that this is the way comedy was 15 years ago.

You could make all of those jokes 15 years ago.

Now, him making those jokes that were perfectly fine before

is now suddenly cutting edge.

And it, to me, says a lot.

It says that the left has overplayed its hand, that even people like Dave Chappelle and what was the other one that came out recently?

You had mentioned Joe Rogan?

Is that who you're doing?

Yeah, joe rogan did you see that one i have not seen the rogan special yet no oh my gosh is that funny really uh the joe rogan special is really really funny in exactly the same way where he's just saying whatever he wants to say and he's just done with the you know the shunning society I don't know how these two guys make it, but they are leading the way back to sanity.

As comedy always should, it should just take on truth and show us ourselves in a you know

a parabolic mirror sort of surprising though.

I mean, you because

for a long time, right, comedy pushed the boundaries of criticizing traditions and you know, religion and you know, people who were too stodgy and such, right?

And

that has been kind of the pattern.

But don't you think that that's what they're doing now?

Well, that's what I was going to say.

You hear them talk about it.

It's new

Puritanism.

It is like this idea that you have to line up.

I mean, Louis C.K., who has been shunned from our society at this point, and there's a very funny part.

He's coming back.

It's a very funny part of the Chappelle

about the Louis C.K.

thing.

But he did a bit just recently basically saying exactly that, that, you know, people, you know, when you talk about which pronouns you're allowed to be

called, and people get offended if they're called the incorrect pronoun, is that almost not identical to the way that we have to refer to a royalty?

You know, you'd have to refer to kings and queens and prince and princess and all of that.

And you're briefed before you meet them to make sure that you have the right

pronouns.

Right.

I mean, that is a thing,

It's because it's from the left, most comedians have avoided criticizing it.

But there's been a few brave ones, and most of them are on the left.

I mean, I think Dave Chappelle is certainly no right-wing figure.

Neither is Louis C.K.

We've seen stuff like this from people like even like Patton Oswalt, who's an incredibly left-wing guy, who's just who came out and said, look, you know, we're trying to help.

I'm a progressive guy, but can you not yell at me every time I get a pronoun wrong that you changed two days ago?

I mean, these are insane new standards that are being put

on us.

And comedians are really the ones that lead the culture as far as pointing out how ridiculously absurd they are.

And, you know, you got to cheer it on.

I mean, this is why I get annoyed when conservatives, and this does happen, criticize some comedian for making a joke that's inappropriate or whatever.

Like, this is the ultimate bastion of free speech.

This is where it needs to exist more than any other place is comedy.

You have to be able to exaggerate and say ridiculous things and not have them be taken like policy statements.

It's comedy.

You have to be able to do those things, and it's beneficial for our society in the long run that you have people who can do that and not be fired or canceled every time they come out with the wrong joke.

But they abandoned their post for the entire Obama administration.

Totally.

They were becoming organs of the left.

That's all it was.

There was no comedy.

They were going for claptor.

This,

if you watch Chappelle's comedy, people will clap when he says something and he'll say, oh, shut up.

I mean,

he is not going for claptor.

In fact, he hates it.

Don't, I mean, when he said, you know, it's impossible to be a celebrity now.

It's impossible to do our job because everything, you know, anything you say, if if somebody, if I've said something 15 years ago, you know, everybody wants you shut down and people start to clap like, yeah, that's right.

And he's like, shut up.

You know who I'm talking about?

You.

I'm talking about you.

Because no one sees this in themselves, right?

No one sees the annoying person who's trying to get everybody fired in themselves.

But I mean, that's why I tried so hard to avoid it.

And I know we've done that many times as well.

I mean, you look at, I mean, Sarah Silverman's a great example of this.

Sarah Silverman, who came out and was through the entire administration, she's a complete leftist.

She's constantly criticizing everybody else.

And then here she is.

She did a bit back in, gosh, it was 2006 or 2007 where she used blackface to make a point.

By the way, a point about woke racism.

She was basically acting like an idiot and not understanding racism to point out the evils of racism, right?

That's the point of the bit.

Then in 2014, she comes out and now is so woke that she's critical of herself, saying, Wow, even though I was making the right point, I shouldn't have done that.

It was insensitive.

And in 2019, five years later, she's losing gigs because people are going, are pulling screenshots of her in blackface as if she was doing something that was racist.

And it's like, well, this is the society you've built.

Do you not understand that?

You've put all of these rules up and applied them only to conservatives.

And now conservatives at some level are trying to apply it to you.

And the culture in in general has now decided, well, now that's the rule.

When we decide 15 years afterwards that something is completely wrong, we can retroactively get justice by ruining your life today.

And that cannot possibly be a sensible standard for a civilization to hold.

When he was doing the Chappelle show, he was called into HR and they said, Dave, you can't say the F-word, you know, is regard in regard to

homosexuals.

And he said, you can't, they can't, you can't use that.

And he said, oh, okay.

Oh, I don't care.

So he decided not to use it.

And he said, later, I thought, wait a minute, how come I can't use that word, but I can use the N-word and everybody's fine?

We went back and she said,

well, because, Dave,

you know, you're not homosexual.

And he's like, well, I'm not an N-word either.

So wait a minute.

You're You're implying that I am an N-word and that's why I can use that?

That's not who I am.

You would not want to get into the HR conversation with Dave Chappelle.

That would not go well for you.

That's such a good point.

Such a good point.

We've all been saying it.

You know, wait a minute.

This is a slam.

It's either a slam or it's not.

Well, they can say it because that's who they are.

You're calling them that?

You as a white man is calling them saying, yeah, they can say it because that's who they are.

oh my gosh all right let me tell you about ex-chair if you're a small business owner hopefully one of the things that you've learned is that happy employees make happy companies it's true and i ought to know i own my own business um and

So, I don't know if you've been reading or following at all the Joker, the movie that is coming out.

It looks fantastic.

Joaquin Phoenix is, I mean, I just think he's a fantastic actor.

He was great as Johnny Cash.

I mean, he just nailed Johnny Cash.

Well, he is now doing

a new version of the The Joker for the Batman series.

And they talk about how this is, you know, a lot of the feel is Scorsese's taxi driver or the king of comedy.

But they say that this is going to open up an entirely new world

for film, especially for the Batman series.

They're saying this is not your typical Batman, and it is not the Joker that we all know.

It is

the descent into madness, and it's not a chemical spill or anything else.

It's how this guy is,

it becomes this killer, is he is just

alone, and his idol rejects him, the city rejects him,

and

here comes the Joker, and he decides, really?

Now, I didn't know this, but apparently the Joker has its roots in a silent film called The Man Who Laughs, which is supposed to be very, very

creepy.

But this movie promises to hold a mirror up to our society and how we are isolating each other from each other.

It is,

it looks really interesting, and there's a lot to talk about its social ramifications and how we are recreating the world of War of the Worlds 1939

because we are a nation on edge

Okay, I'm gonna name four things and I want you to tell me what they all have in common airsprings engine distributor timing cover gasket heater system

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenbeck program.

I would like to remind you that our Christmas special is happening one night only.

I think we're going to be recording it for a special,

but we would love to see you.

It's in Salt Lake City, December 7th.

Some tickets are still available.

And I invite you to go to Glenbeck.com and

just click on the Christmas show, and it'll take you to the ticket window and grab those tickets before they're all gone.

I'm really excited for this Christmas special.

You're going to love it.

It's going to be very funny.

And also, the true meaning of Christmas.

You don't want to miss it.

Salt Lake City, December 7th, Glenbeck.com is where you can find the tickets.

All right.

Here we are getting into this election.

And

I want to stay close to you this election.

I don't want to necessarily talk about politics.

I want to talk about what's happening in your life that may revolve around politics because everybody in your life is being political.

But I really want to hear how you're doing.

We have some people holding on the phone now.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Well, I

left basically a six-figure job to start my own business, and that has been very scary.

My husband is a self-employed person as well.

We never had a lot of overhead, so we saved and saved and just felt like this is the time.

The Lord opened the doors and we

pushed forward.

We ran into some snags and that's life.

My medical director, I have a medical clinic and he passed away unexpectedly.

And being an APN, which is an advanced practice nurse, I can't open my doors without a medical director.

So that's kind of held things up and trying to make bills and trying to get health insurance.

And, you know, all those things come into play.

And I never thought in a million years I would open my own business.

But at this point in time, this is, you know, America is great.

And I know it's going to work once God God puts everything into place that he has already.

And,

yeah, I think about recession, and

I'm just my concern is that the media is in such a powerful position these days that they could start harping on it and create it.

You know, I fully.

Oh, I think that I think they're hoping to do that.

Right, right.

And I hope President Trump makes the proper decisions

with, you know, the stock market and everything.

I know a lot of times what he says affects all of that.

I don't know how that works a lot of times, but

I know it just hinges on so many little things.

And if somebody, you know, big with lots of money pulls their money out, then everybody freaks out and does the same.

And so, you know, it is scary, but, you know, I know there's so many ifs in life, but God is still the same.

And, you know, as long as we put our trust in him, he is the one that's going to provide all my needs no matter what.

And I'm not going to let fear control me.

Thank you, Carolyn, for checking in with me.

I appreciate the conversation.

Let me go to Mac in Pennsylvania.

Mac, you're a millennial.

That's right.

All right.

How old are you?

I'm 26.

I just turned 26 in July.

And before we start here, let me just say, oh my God, I'm talking to freaking Glenn Beck.

Yeah,

it's even better than you ever imagined, isn't it?

Just fantastic.

Thank you, Mac.

Thank you.

You're welcome, sir.

I've been following you for, well, since I got out of high school about seven years ago.

Wow.

Thank you.

I know.

That's pretty rare.

No, I've stuck with you guys.

You know, you guys, you're always hunting for the truth these days.

And you guys definitely,

shine a very broad light on a lot of subjects.

And I appreciate that.

And it's very hard to find.

Thank you.

So, there's a debate in a lot of people's minds.

Well, no, I shouldn't say that.

There's a debate that sometimes goes in my mind that I think people have made the wrong decision on.

They view it differently than I do.

I think most people will tell you millennials

are just a death

generation that it's just going to be, when they are in charge, it's all going to be over.

I think that millennials are curious.

They're hungry for answers.

They're hungry for, they know this is bull crap.

And

those millennials who

are much more aware than I was when I was in my 20s and early 30s are looking for answers.

It's just hard to find them, but they are hardworking, they are caring people, and they

they

want

actual workable answers.

Am I wrong?

You're you're not wrong.

You're you're very much uh nail on the head there.

Um, and I would, if I was to go into that subject, I would, I would mirror a lot of what you just said.

Um, you know, I'll take just just out of sheer, you you know,

possibility here, I'll take myself as an example here,

you know, and my wife.

I'll take, I'll take both of us.

You know, we are dairy farmers

and we are struggling very, very hard lately.

But

it's a miracle that God made us so resilient as humans.

We can take things that are out of whack on an everyday basis and we can still see the light shining in.

And I think millennials can do that better than a lot of other generations

because I can mirror a lot of also what Caroline said.

Because I mean, we're looking at transitioning our her father

her father's dairy farm into our own operation here,

big picture, next five to ten years.

And

we're just what I the vibe I get from the economy right now is I work a day job to support the farm, which I have to.

I mean, it's bad that you have to do that, but I work an eight to five job at a feed mill, and then we dairy farm morning and evening and every weekend.

But the economy in our general area,

I don't know honestly how I do it either.

Most of the time, my friends say I'm a walking zombie, but right.

The economy in our general area here is fairly agricultural.

We're in out central Pennsylvania.

And our feed mill is going from a $3 million a year company to a $40 million a year company in the next two years with a couple contracts that we have gotten hold of.

So it looks like

the thing I can see here is that the companies that are

conglomerated,

especially the bigger farms around here, people that have more control over what they buy, buying in bulk, buying everything in an aspect of a corporation is doing all right right now.

But what's dying out, and you're literally watching the star burnout in your own eyes right now, is family-owned corporations, family-owned businesses are taking a large hit right now.

And there's nothing to do with Trump or nothing to do with...

Trump

disorder or anything of that nature.

It's the simple fact that, Glenn, Glenn, I believe as a millennial, I mean, I'm not, I'm 26-year-old.

I haven't been here for the whole show, but I'm a student of history, and I believe that if we don't learn from this history that this country has gone through, I mean, you're doomed from the get-go.

I mean, you live in a country where you have so many things to learn that have helped the world.

Why not learn from it?

So what I see here is we are in capitalism.

I have no problem with capitalism or the free market.

But I believe, as a theory, we have reached a point in our history that we have never seen before.

And I honestly don't know if anyone's ever prepared before.

But it seems like everything has gotten to the point where it's so big

that it's like a tree in the forest.

Every tree is shining such a large shadow right now that nothing small can live underneath of it.

And the problem is people get this skew that, oh, well, if we just chop all the big trees down, i.e., corporations, things that have built themselves up to become big, well, everything else will be dandy.

Well, that's not true.

I mean, if you allow these bigger companies to thrive in their own way,

also giving

an avenue for these smaller businesses to

develop and thrive, I think we are in for a grand future.

But right now, it's especially in farming, you're just not seeing that growth because it seems like if you're big, you're in it, and you're and if you're small, you're not.

Mac, I appreciate your phone call.

Uh, and I want to take your

um analogy of the trees

and expand on it.

Do you know what the largest living organism is on

Earth?

At least, I think in the Western hemisphere, I think it's on all of Earth, but it's at least in the Western Hemisphere.

Do you know what it is?

I would have to say a whale, maybe.

No,

it's actually actually the aspen forests in the Rocky Mountains.

The aspens, and I know this because I have aspens up here in the mountains.

And what I didn't know is that aspens,

they grow down, obviously their roots, and then their roots spread out and they grow up,

and that creates another aspen tree.

So when one gets sick, they all die.

If you start start screwing with the aspens, you can lose the entire forest.

And that's what makes aspens

so beautiful is they're so close together and they're so thick, but they are not single living organisms, each tree.

It's one organism.

And I think when we look at how big we are now, that's the problem.

It's there, everything is connected, and it's good to be connected.

But when there is nothing else in the forest, if those start to go down, you got nothing.

There's nothing and no way anyone can replace it.

We're not replacing our farmers.

The average age of the small farmer is 68 years old.

You're a freak of nature.

If we don't pass on this knowledge, if we forget

how the land works and it just becomes corporate farms,

We change fundamentally as a people and as a country.

And if that forest ever starts to go down,

there's nothing else underneath it.

Thanks for your call.

We go to Abby in North Carolina.

Hello, Abby.

Hello, Glenn.

How are you?

Thanks for taking home.

I'm very good.

Thank you.

I have two children.

One's 38, one's 19.

One's in college, and one opted not to go to college.

And they're both Democrats.

And they're both firmly

Democrats.

And

I make them

prepare their arguments.

You know, don't just come to me with rhetoric you see or hear on Facebook or Instagram.

So tell me why they're

tell me why they're Democrats.

I wish I knew.

because it's certainly not hereditary.

My daughter is very,

my daughter is very all about the planet and

literally stopped eating beef because of Leonardo's Caprio.

So she refuses to eat beef because of his documentary.

Is she eating other meats?

Like my daughter is, my daughter has gone vegan.

She'll eat chicken.

She'll eat chicken.

That's it.

She'll only eat chicken.

But my daughter is brilliant.

She's smart.

She's articulate.

She's been successful.

She's worked since she was old enough to work.

So she knows that I respect her right to have an opinion.

However,

the arguments she'll come to me with,

once I can disprove them,

it's like, well, I still don't like him.

Okay, well, I think it's more

for Trump.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, there is something to be said with, you know, for people who say, I just don't like him.

I just didn't like Hillary Clinton.

And I had things to back it up, but I just didn't like her.

She was an unlikable person.

She was very, very fake.

So you're never going to be able to get past people when they're just like, I just don't like him.

I just don't like him.

However.

You know, I'd be interested in

talking to your children and finding out what it is about the policies of the others,

the crushing of the free market.

And if you don't believe me, just look at the green jobs bill.

In fact, print that out for your children and say, what does this say?

And print it out and have them respond to it.

You have?

Oh, yeah.

I'm always prepared when they come to me with their arguments.

And my son, who

is can both my son and daughter are completely convinced that biden is the answer to our future

to which i can only laugh if only he was the candidate that would be fantastic

or at uh

you know just getting them to say why what does he bring to the table
