Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck? | Guest: Charlie Kirk | 8/15/19

I'm Hillary, that's your four-minute buzz, and now here's Glenn and Stu at the start of our show.

Thank you so much, Hillary.

Our spotlight sponsor this half hour is our good friend Brad Thor.

Brad Thor has Backlash Out.

I have to be real honest with you, I have not read it yet this summer.

I read all of his books.

I think he's a fantastic writer.

He writes what I term faction.

He takes all the facts and then he thinks, well, what if?

And this one's about Russia.

Everybody I know that has read it said it's his best.

I think he's even said that on the show.

Backlash.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

You know, the reason why political correctness is so frightening is because it is usually only the first step towards totalitarianism.

Because you have to teach people, especially in America.

America has always been a very trusting country.

And we have always trusted, for the most part, our police and FBI and our government.

We have not had a lot of trust in particular

politicians, but we have believed in truth, justice, and the American way.

And that is starting to crumble.

And that's because we have been lied to,

but it's also because we have seen corruption.

And political correctness always needs an enforcer.

And that's what the left does best.

But

has this corruption

gone so deep that we are living in a country we can't even recognize?

The latest on Jeffrey Epstein and his death

and what his former bodyguard has now said

in one minute.

This is the Glen Beck program.

You know, when the pioneers settled this country, they had to cross vast, uneven swaths of land, from the Conestoga covered wagons to the buckboard, from the gallant horse to the simple mule.

That's what they were riding.

Just about everyone in the Old West had to have the same problem, a sore butt and a sore back.

Can you even imagine what life was like?

And they didn't even even have aspirin back then.

I have a hard enough time with life and with pain and everything else.

I'm not going going to sit in a really uncomfortable chair.

And I have to tell you, I have purchased chairs because of the company that we run.

I've purchased chairs, the really expensive, you know, oh, this is the greatest chair ever made.

And they look great and everything else.

And you sit in them and you're like, this chair sucks.

I've seen a lot of chairs come and go.

This is the best.

It is the X chair.

X chair.

It's what you need for work, for both productivity and being comfortable to sit in it all day.

Remember, I told you that

Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy had been done over the weekend, and they were not conclusive.

Well, now we're getting

a little bit more information on this.

An autopsy found that Jeffrey Epstein's sustained multiple breaks in his neck bones are deepening the mystery.

Now,

here's what this means.

One of the bones that was broken in his neck is near his Adam's apple.

And it can happen that that bone breaks when you hang yourself,

especially if you're an older person.

However, it's much more common among victims of a homicide by strangulation.

And you know, to really snap your neck,

it's why

hangings were deemed cruel and unusual back in the 1800s when people were hung.

If you lynched somebody, they are struggling for a long time.

Their neck isn't snapping.

You pull the horse away or you kick the table.

They don't have a long way to fall.

And so

the snapping of the neck happens when you have the gallows and they have to fall

a certain distance.

It's why the executioner's job, you had to look at the person's weight and you had to look at the person's height and you had to get

the noose, if you will, to the right level so their neck would snap and it would end their life quickly.

You're not doing that at the edge of the bed.

So it adds more mystery.

Now, it very well could be that he had an old frail bone in his neck.

There's multiple cracks in his neck, which seems unusual, but it doesn't mean anything.

We also know now that the two guards were sleeping and they falsified their records.

They said they checked on him every 30 minutes.

Now they've admitted that wasn't true.

They were both sleeping on the job.

So most conspiracies can be explained away by incompetence.

But what I want to share with you is an article that I read today from New York Magazine.

And it's an interview done by a writer there who interviewed his

Epstein's bodyguard about five years ago.

And he has it all on tape.

And so now that Epstein is dead, he wanted to go back.

And it was an unpublished

interview, but it was all on the record.

So he can talk about it.

So now he's gone back and he's re-interviewed him, but things seem to have changed.

And I just want to

I want to go through

a few parts of this.

And

it's just a transcription of the interview.

So

the interviewer is asking her, asking the security guard, the only guy that he had as a bodyguard.

He's a Russian, former MMA fighter,

and seems very Russian, as you'll see.

he's asked so you drove him to all three places uh yes in New York I didn't drive New York we had he had driver whatever name was he was like old family I was just training with him in New York traveling with him I just drove him there Palm Beach because other places he had different drivers they're just personnel you know who just drive him someone drive him in New Mexico I'm quoting directly someone drive him in Virgin Islands actually I just drove him here in Palm Beach.

You went with him to all the other properties.

Did you go with him to New Mexico?

Yes.

You worked and traveled with him 24-7, so that means you were on the plane with him, correct?

Yes.

You lived in his guest house?

Yes.

You

lived alone in the guest house?

Of course, in Palm Beach, when we stay at Palm Beach, we have a guest house.

Property manager lived there too.

He was working there before me.

Polish guy.

Yes.

Does he have

bodyguard abilities like you?

No.

So now let me just skip down.

So he's working with him all the time.

He's working out with him.

He's training.

It's clear he doesn't like Jeffrey Epstein.

He talks about how he's made fun of

and not listened to and just treated like dirt by Epstein.

What were some of the places you drove him to?

I mean, when I work for him in Palm Beach, just business meeting, basically.

mostly down down there, lawyer's office.

Drop him there when he goes upstairs.

I wait in car.

Ever heard about his case, why he was in trouble?

No, never talk about that stuff.

He never talked about any of that stuff?

No, really?

No.

In our conversation in 2015, you described his relationship with teenage girlfriends, and I'm quoting.

So many times I try to stop him.

I try to tell him my opinion about that.

He don't listen to me.

That's the reason why I'm not working for him no more.

I make him do that.

Let me go.

Do you remember saying that?

It's not teenage girls.

I never see any teenage girls.

I tell you, I never see teenage girls.

Plenty of times when I work for him, I never see anything unproper or teenage girls around him.

That's what I say.

So wait, so wait, now you're saying that you only saw him with women older than 18 or 20?

All I say is he had been with girlfriends and there was a couple of girls.

I don't remember names.

She was 25, worked for him, an assistant, maybe 25, 23, whatever.

I don't know age.

Okay, but you definitely told me last time we talked.

No, no, no, it's not that.

He working like work release on other stuff.

And I just tell him, you know, he would order his girlfriends around.

And I told him, calm down.

It's not teenage girls.

I never see teenage girls in my life at his house.

That is what it is.

Misunderstanding completely, because that's what I'm saying.

Most of the time with reporters, they give me that kind of question.

Who told you I see teenage girls?

I never see teenage girls in my life.

And they say, okay, so wait a minute.

Here's another thing you said last time about Epstein and the girls you saw at his house, specifically about moments when you were trying to offer him advice about his conduct.

Quote, sometimes he tries to make a joke.

He'd say, thank you, grandma.

I don't need your opinion.

So when you tried to do something good, he would try to make a joke in front of girls.

I never give anyone questions.

I'm still quoting.

It's one of my rules, actually.

I be honest with you, I never ask any of my clients what they do for a living or how they do whatever they do.

I just do my job and that's it.

Do you remember saying that?

Yes, that's what I said.

I feel like the cops watching me whenever he's on work release.

I tell him, don't do stupid stuff.

Don't put girlfriend in car and drive together.

Don't watch it, all extra attention.

But Epstein made fun of you in front of the girls, right?

Yes, that was his thing.

You say you never ask your employers questions?

Yes, that's normal.

Answer.

People like him just do what he wants to do because like people talking and just they already have some release.

And I understand.

And just read some papers about his like whatever teenage girls

but that was how he answers so that's it so I don't know

here's another quote from our last interview quote he had a couple of girlfriends they have no idea of the degree of what they were doing but you can't tell nothing to them because they support him kind of for the while this one girl would be more attached to him he just fire her fire them and keep them away for example I give you some idea.

You have a private plane and you have three girlfriends and one girl can be more attached to him.

The next week, he don't take that girl, he takes another, and he just switches them.

He brings them on a couple of trips, then get different girls.

That's what he's doing.

Do you remember that?

Kind of not.

I don't remember.

Igor, wait a minute, wait a minute.

I understand this is sensitive.

No.

Now, this is really important.

This is starting to change.

No, no, no.

It's not just just sensitive.

It's kind of a little uncorrect.

It's exactly what you said.

I can send it to you.

Here's something else you said.

It can be tricky, you know.

Normally, he always

has me check the newspapers.

Nothing about me?

I say, no.

He says, they forget about me.

And then when I mentioned Epstein was being exposed for messing with teenage girls, you said, I'm not surprised at all.

I'm surprised how low he can be outside in the real world.

Someday,

someday is going to call him, and it will be real jail.

He has so much money, he can pay it off.

Me personally, if I caught him with my daughter or something like that, I'm not going to call the police.

I do something else, much worse.

That guy could try to sue me and manipulate the situation with his money.

That's the American way.

I know he screwed a lot of fashion girls, also, screwed up a lot of fashion girls, also.

That's a different story.

Do you remember saying that?

I remember one thing, like, if I be father and someone screw up my daughter, I don't care how much money he have.

I definitely do some bad thing.

That's what I said.

Before that, stuff, I don't know.

I'm really like, Igor, I'm not making this stuff up.

I was really careful.

I'm, listen to this, quote, I'm really careful too.

It was four years ago.

Maybe you don't remember what you told me, or you're afraid.

Do you have anything to be afraid of?

I'm not afraid.

Beyond that, he is just dead.

I don't want anything incorrect.

Hold on.

When did you find out he died?

Then he goes on to talk about how he died and

yada, yada, yada.

And it's just yes or no questions.

He's starting to get very cold.

I realize others tried to talk to you.

Did he ever offer you money?

Did anyone ever try to silence you?

No.

Epstein never tried to

give you money.

I wonder what he was capable of doing since he settled a lot of lawsuits.

Nobody ever wanted to offer me money.

I don't care about money.

I want everyone just to leave me alone.

Just one thing.

When someone from newspaper right and from everywhere call you me Red Army Commando, what do you mean exactly?

If it's untrue,

if it's untrue, that would be over the top.

Yes, terrible.

So after that, they they call me mobster mobster yes okay I didn't know that I'm standing with girls the girls just looking at me and the girls get scared so I don't know if you want me to say something and I don't want to I want to deal with no one I get that but you and I have a history listen to what I say this between you and me wait you told me he would get phone calls the night before at eight o'clock and the police police were going to come.

He would get a heads up from the local police.

Silence.

You told me that, Igor.

You want me to read the quote?

Well, you can read whatever you want right now.

Don't just

look, you put yourself in big trouble.

He said you said he always do something wrong.

There were nights in question.

He would come home,

arrest and police before they come to the house.

They would call him and tell them we were coming at 8 o'clock in the morning.

It's all corruption, you know.

That's the way your system is.

That's your quote.

Listen, do not put yourself in trouble.

Seriously, we talked about this.

I understand we got this.

I'm telling you, you have to,

I'm telling you to give you a chance to remember because we talked about it.

I know it's hard.

I don't know what you mean about putting myself in trouble.

Let it go.

Seriously, let it go.

Why is it so important?

Are you worried about the local cops?

Listen, you're really smart.

I'm not going to offer that over the phone right now, okay?

You're really smart.

You have no idea.

Please.

What do you mean by that?

I can't explain to you.

I can't explain over the phone any of this.

You said that last time, and we didn't talk for years.

You can tell the world who this guy was you were working with him for a long time you know what I mean silence I totally understand what you think

he he could have

I totally understand that you think he could have had help committing suicide first of all I've got to go right now I've got other client you're still training people yes just be careful I'm not kidding What's your email?

Don't do any of that kind of stuff.

Just don't play it seriously.

You can't tell me why?

No, I can't.

One more question.

What?

Have you been talking to anyone in the government, the FBI?

Have they come to you?

Look great talking to you.

Seriously, we talk later.

Be careful.

All right.

Bye.

Let's talk about that and

what just happened there in one minute.

You know, for a lot of people, the thought of having their identity stolen is a lot like winning the lottery in reverse.

It's possible, but it's not likely to happen to you personally.

You couldn't be more wrong if that's what you think.

Identity theft is becoming more and more common as we automate our lives more and more.

Did you buy that book online?

How about the takeout you ordered last night?

Do you pay your bills online?

Your identity, all the parts that make you who you are financially and legally, is floating around in cyberspace much of the time.

And to assume that you're going to escape some sort of incursion in a world where cybercrime is increasing, let me just tell you now, very dangerous.

You don't know what you're dealing with.

That's why there is Lifelock.

Life Lock detects a wide range of identity thefts.

It helps you stay informed.

So I read this this morning, and my first thought was my friend Patrick Byrne.

Patrick Byrne is the CEO of Overstock.com, and he's a libertarian.

He doesn't have a horse in this fight except for America.

He's not a partisan guy.

He dislikes both sides equally, I think.

And he's a very smart businessman.

Well, he was kind of

ambushed.

You could see that he was surprised by the question, and then he just answered it when he was on Fox News just a couple of days ago.

He was on for another reason to talk about cryptocurrency, but then he started talking about

what he knows about the Russia investigation and also the investigation into the Clintons with the FBI.

And he said, I can't tell you why, but I know what happened.

Well, we've pieced together some, at least part of it.

We know how he was involved with the Trump-Russia investigation.

He was in the center of that, kind of in this Hitchcockian sort of way where it's like this everyday man kind of finding himself in the middle of this giant conspiracy.

And my first thought after reading this with Epstein's

bodyguard was,

be very careful.

You do not know what you're dealing with.

Is this the kind of country that we are becoming?

And are we okay with it?

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

So do you remember the scene in the movie Twister where one of the characters comes running towards the camera yelling, it's coming!

And all the other characters say, no.

It's already here.

It was the tagline in all the trailers.

Great scene.

But it's also a really good assessment of how things usually go in a disaster situation.

By the time you're aware that it's coming, it's already here.

I'm going to talk to you about the financial situation here in a second.

Yesterday, the Dow was down 2%,

and everybody is saying that global calamity is coming.

And this time it might be, but I want to I want to reassure you on a couple of things, and I want to tell you some things the media is not telling you,

because you don't need panic, you need truth.

So, we'll get into that later.

But the one thing that stops panic is being prepared for whatever it is, and that's prepared through information and through things like food storage.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We welcome into the fold Mr.

Pat Gray.

Hello, Pat.

Hello, Glenn.

You know, I just came in on the, I guess, the tail end of what you were talking about with the bodyguard and the reporter.

So, this is the bodyguard of Jeffrey stuff.

Frightening.

Yeah.

This is the Russian MMA fighter

who was the bodyguard of Jeffrey Epstein, who in 2015 did an interview on the record.

And they have the audio recording of him and the transcript.

And so this guy, after Epstein dies, goes back to him and says, hey,

tell us about Epstein and young girls.

Right.

Again.

Again, because you did say these things then.

And he's like, oh, no, no, I know nothing what you're talking about.

And he's like, but you said these things.

I've got the transcript right here.

You want me to send it to you?

You send whatever you like.

I know nothing about this.

And then he gets into, look, you're smarter than this.

Don't talk on the phone.

We don't, I don't, I don't know who you are and what you talk about.

He's clearly frightened by something.

Wow.

Right.

Wow.

But Jeffrey Epstein just happened to snap his neck.

Yeah, in several places.

In several places.

With a paper bed sheet.

Paper is what those are made of.

So that's why they say this jail is virtually suicide-proof because there's nothing to connect to up on the ceiling.

And the sheets that you would strangle yourself with are made of paper.

So if you are strangling yourself, you might be able to cut off your oxygen mite with paper.

You're not going to be able to do that.

But there's no way you're snapping your neck in several places.

Yeah,

there's almost no way.

This is almost an impossible story.

It's virtually impossible.

Virtually, though.

Yes.

Yeah.

I mean, we don't know.

Right.

But it sure seems and this

scares this

scared the hell out of me for Patrick Byrne, the CEO of Overstock, who's a friend of the program.

I was just reading an article about that where they were mocking him for saying that he was involved in the, you know, in the Russian.

Did they put it together?

Did they they have the story so if he say that he did date well they mocked him for saying that he dated the girlfriend or the the russian agent they mocked him she's not a russian agent

she's not a russian agent that's what they they said she was yeah well yeah i know yeah i know everybody says she is yeah no she went to jail for not having they the fbi went after her to make her into this russian agent and she was found not guilty what she went to jail for was was she didn't

she didn't go for a license or she didn't

state on her visa that she had

political connections or something like that.

So she violated stating

that she had these political connections, but that doesn't make her a spy.

In fact, she was exonerated,

found not guilty of being a spy.

And the NBI knew full well knew about her, right?

So here's the story with Patrick Byrne.

From Overstalk.com.

Right.

If you listen to the interview, play a little bit of this interview, Sarah.

Let me give it to you in a nutshell.

In a very strange way, by a weird fluke of history, I ended up in the center of the Russian and the Clinton investigations.

I have all the answers.

I've been sitting on them waiting for America to get there.

Last summer, I figured out...

I have all the answers to both of those.

What they all are, it's all about political espionage, had nothing to do with law enforcement.

I thought I was going to say that.

He's saying this, and if you were just watching this, you don't know him, you don't know who he is.

People are thinking he's nuts.

You're nuts.

What do you mean you figured it out?

Okay, you were in the center of both of them.

You're the overstocked dot dot com guy.

Okay.

What you don't know is, and I didn't know this, he has a national security clearance.

He's done some work for the government and the Council of Foreign Relations or something.

I don't know.

Really?

Oh, he's a bad guy.

So he's got a national security clearance.

Now, I know Patrick.

I know how he loves the country.

I also know he's a very smart businessman.

And the thing about business, the reason why business is good in America is because, generally speaking, we have had rule of law.

And if you don't have rule of law, then you have a country like Mexico where you can't, only the corrupt can do business.

So

he is at

Freedom Fest in Las Vegas a couple of years ago, and he's approached by, what was her name, Bettina, the Russian girl that, you know, is the spy.

And he's approached by her after he gives a speech, and she's kind of flirty with him, and she's like, oh, I'd really like you to introduce me to people.

You are so special.

And his spider senses go off, and she gives him...

her phone number and he's like

okay

uh so because he has a national security clearance, which he takes seriously, he calls the FBI.

And he says, listen, do you know this woman?

Because she's a foreign national.

She's a Russian.

And she wants to meet important people.

And

I just wanted to check with you.

Are you aware of her?

They said, oh, yes, we're aware of her.

We know who she is.

She's been checked out.

She's totally clean.

Got that from the FBI.

FBI.

Okay.

Are you sure?

Yeah, totally clean.

Okay.

So he starts to date her.

They get romantic, blah, blah, blah.

They have a relationship.

In the relationship,

his spider senses go off again because she says, I really want to meet some very important people here in your country, and you should meet some of ours.

And she gives him names of who she wants to meet.

And so he again calls the FBI and says, she wants me to meet these people.

And she wants to meet these people.

Is there anything I should be concerned about here?

No, Patrick, you're fine.

We've already cleaned her or cleared her.

She's fine.

Okay.

All right.

So he continues to have a relationship with her.

Then, during the election, she's like, I've got the meeting with Hillary Clinton.

You have a meeting with Clinton?

Well, her people, I'm going to meet next week at Hotel, you know, wherever.

And

Patrick's like, huh.

So he calls the FBI.

A third time.

A third time and said, she wants to meet with the Rubio campaign and she has a meeting at this hotel with the Clinton campaign.

Do you want any more information, Patrick?

She's fine.

Okay.

That happens.

Then Trump gets the nomination.

Trump looks like like he's going to win.

He wins, and the FBI calls Patrick and says, Hey, we need you to rekindle that relationship because they had broken up.

We need you to rekindle that relationship.

We think she might be a spy.

And he's like, Wait, wait.

What?

And

they said, Yes, we're looking into her.

You told me she was fine.

Now, in the time from the last phone call to the FBI calling him back, he had had this long relationship with her, and he grew comfortable that she wasn't a spy.

And he's like, I've been around her.

I've met all of her friends.

She's not a spy.

She is a libertarian gun freak

who that's what the Russian libertarians that she wanted to connect with.

But he wasn't.

So

meeting with the Clinton people wasn't out of the ordinary for a Russian national like that?

Why?

And rodeo.

I know.

What kind of connections does this woman have?

I know.

So he says,

A, you told me she wasn't a spy.

Right.

And I've been with her.

Now, I'm not with her now.

I haven't been for months, but I've been with her.

And I'm telling you, she's not a spy.

They do their inventions.

They say, you need to rekindle your relationship with her.

He, I think he does, doesn't he?

I think he does rekindle.

And then he says, look,

I've been doing this now for you, and I'm telling you, she's clean.

She's clean.

They arrest her, accuse her of being a spy.

They go to court.

Patrick's testimony is not included in the trial.

He was offering himself.

And he was saying good things about her.

He's saying good things about her.

It's not introduced at the trial.

Her defense is all upset.

And they're like, where's Patrick Byrne?

Why can't we have Patrick testify?

Okay.

The judge looks at this trial and looks at the FBI and goes, she's not a spy.

She's not a spy.

So she goes to jail for prison for a couple of, what is it, eight months, something like that, because she failed to register.

She's not this year, right?

She's out in October, I think.

So she did time?

Yeah, she went to prison because she didn't, she failed to.

Well, it's the registration.

Yeah, the registration.

She's register as a foreign agent or something.

Yeah, but she's not a foreign agent.

She's not a spy.

She's not a spy.

If she is, she's the world's worst spy.

Yeah, she's like posting pictures of herself.

Obviously,

she has connections.

Yes, but through the government, through Russia.

She has connections through powerful people.

And in Russia, everybody is connected to the government if you're powerful.

But the people that Patrick says she is friends with,

they're innocent connections.

They believe in freedom of speech, and they believe in

freedom to bear arms.

And that's what they're connecting on.

They may not agree on everything else, but she's saying, look,

things are getting crazy in Russia.

And I just need the American leadership to know not all of us are like that.

Not all of us are crazy like that.

There are some things that we have in common.

There's a lot of people who are powerful in the Russian government, too, who are pretty friendly to capitalism.

I mean, because, you know, yes, Putin's not, but a lot of these oligarchs really like the capitalism.

Yeah.

They've made some money on it.

Yeah, they've done fairly well with themselves.

So, so she's not a foreign agent.

Now, what Patrick is saying is, and I'm, I'm questioning now, did you hear,

Stu just joined us, did you hear the bodyguard interview?

Uh,

Repstein's interview.

Yes, I read a little bit of that, yeah.

Okay, that's terrifying.

Yeah, that's terrifying.

Here's a Russian who is saying, no, no, no, you don't notice what you're saying.

You're talking about the FBI.

Yeah.

You're not talking about the KGB.

You're talking about the FBI.

And local police, too.

And local police.

And he's like, you don't know what you're messing with here.

And now we see that the FBI.

But there's other powerful people behind the scenes, too.

Yes.

He might be referring to.

It absolutely might be.

Yeah.

It absolutely might be.

You got people with extensive death lists that he might be talking about.

Right.

You also have Patrick Byrne, who has complete confidence in Bill Barr,

saying that Bill is cleaning up the Justice Department.

Bill is on top of this.

He says that they are investigating the Clintons again, and we back this up that at least 18 months ago, they opened up that Clinton file again at the FBI.

Don't know, you know, with the Uranium One, don't know what the status is, but also people on Capitol Hill are saying that

this is going to come out probably after Labor Day, that this is going to be cleaned up on what was happening, that it looks like this

may have been just a political witch hunt.

Wow.

And

it's a little frightening.

It's a little frightening.

My friend, Patrick, if you're listening right now, please be careful.

And may I give give you the advice that someone very, very wise gave me

when I was going,

when I felt threatened by George Soros.

And that was

make sure everybody on earth knows that you are his biggest enemy.

So if a bus hits you, the first thought of everyone is, was he just murdered by those guys?

Was that George Soros driving that bus?

I wonder if that's, is that why he talked about it on Fox News?

I will tell you what.

Maybe.

I didn't think about that yesterday, but after reading what the Russian bodyguard said,

it might be.

Entirely possible.

It might be.

And Patrick, that's not enough.

That's not enough.

That's not enough.

All right.

Thanks, Pat.

Pat Grand Leashed, get the podcast.

Watch it.

Listen to it.

Do all the things you're supposed to do with it.

Nothing that's inappropriate, though.

Don't do the deep fakes thing with Pat.

That's not cool.

Think about what that is.

That's not cool.

Oh, we got to talk about that deep fake.

You watched that, right?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

There's Pat.

Come here.

Have you seen the latest deep fake?

Yeah, I played it on the air today.

The Bill Hayter thing?

Yeah, the Bill Hader with, you know,

come on over.

Let me do the commercials real quick, and then we're going to come back and talk about this.

This is unbelievable.

Legitimately incredible to watch.

Unbelievable.

All right.

First, relief factor.

You know, I know you're, you know, you get the flu, you start to get aches and pains, and it's usually through your whole body.

That is inflammation.

And people who live with chronic pain are dealing with inflammation all the time.

In some cases, it can be localized.

In others, it's throughout the whole body.

But that achy feeling you get, that's your body fighting something, and it gets inflamed, and that achy feeling,

that's just inflation.

I mean, inflation.

I keep doing the same thing.

Inflammation.

Yeah, inflammation.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That's inflammation in your body, and it causes all kinds of problems.

That's why Relief Factor works because it works.

It's 100% natural, and it was created by doctors.

It's drug-free, and it is something that reduces inflammation.

It has worked for me.

It works for about 70% of the people who try it.

And I mean people with chronic pain.

So please try Relief Factor.

Try Try it for three weeks.

70% of the people who try it for three weeks, they go on to order more month after month after month.

800, 583, 84.

I take it three times a day as directed because it works.

ReliefFactor.com.

That's relief factor.com.

Welcome to the program.

Okay, so before the break, we were talking about deep fakes.

If you don't know what a deep fake is, you're going to.

It's going to be one of those things that really nobody is talking about to one day everyone is going to be talking about it because something's going to be used by Russia, China, somebody.

You won't believe your eyes.

It will be the end of I'll Believe It When I See It.

There is a deep fake video out now.

And who is this

Bill Hater and Winter?

John Letterman.

Letterman.

Just play it if you happen to be watching Blaze TV.

So it's like, you know, all these heavyweights, like, you know,

Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Denny Jr., everybody.

and at the end is like me, like, you know, like, hey, so happy to be here.

He's telling the story about Tom Cruise, and all of a sudden, his face morphs into Tom Cruise, but it's so

subtle and he's not even noticing that.

Yeah, you'd be like,

wow, he looked at it.

There it is.

And you can't, it's seamless.

You can't tell when it begins, when it ends.

It's amazing.

Unbelievable.

Tweet it out at World of Stew and at Glenn Beck.

Yep, so you're more watching.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Welcome to the program.

I want to explain this yield curve nonsense.

You know, there's some simple things that the media is leaving out.

Like they're saying there's never been a recession that we haven't seen the inverted yield curve right before the recession starts.

Well, yes, that's half true.

We haven't had a recession that didn't have a yield, inverted yield curve first,

but we've had several inverted yield curves

that didn't precede a recession.

So I did some research on this because when the stock market goes down 800 points and everybody's blaming it on the inverted yield curve.

We should do our homework because I bet there's some things that you don't know about.

We'll get to that, and

also the world that is approaching us with Moore's Law quicker than you think.

Deep fakes, the latest, and why this one is so disturbing in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Somewhere in America within the sound of my voice, there is a man lying on his back beneath the front end of a shiny 67 Mustang.

She runs just fine, but that's because he's taken good care of her all these years.

He's had her since before his kids were born.

Now, sometimes on the weekend, he'll take his grandkids out for a ride.

He has worked hard because there's something about this Mustang that says something about him and what he believes.

He's worked hard

to be able to afford her, just like he worked hard on

getting everything in his life.

Taking care of her is a labor of love.

If you were looking at this man's feet sticking out in front of the Mustang and twitching in the rhythm to some old song in the garage radio, you'd see that he was wearing Takovis boots, and you'd realize, just like with the car, this man has a taste for the finer things, the more comfortable things, the enduring things in life.

He wears these boots for a reason, probably the same reason I wear Takovis boots.

They're the best-made boots for the price bar none.

If you are looking for a quality boot, you're not going to find anything that is in this price range.

The same quality of boot is twice the price.

But they've cut out the middleman.

It's all about integrity with Tocovis.

They're handmade, best best boot makers.

They take 200 steps to complete a pair.

They're made with the finest and most exotic leathers available.

And because Takovis just deals directly with you,

in kind of a

handshake is our contract kind of way, you know, the way the cowboys used to,

the kind of contracts that that guy laying under the Mustang makes when he says he's going to do something, he does it.

That's the kind of deal that they have with you.

You order a pair of boots.

You can send them back.

it's no big deal.

They've made ordering the right size, the right fit, the right boot for you really super easy.

You're going to love yours as much as I love mine.

There's something about Tacovis that is just real.

Find your pair at tocovis.com/slash Beck.

That's T-E-C-O-V-A-S dot com slash Beck.

Check them out online right now.

Tacovis dot com slash Beck.

So, there is this video that

we'll tweet out at Glenn Beckworld of Stew.com, and

we should also put it up at Glenn Beck.com.

Bill Hayter, who's this comedian that you've seen a million times, he was on

the late show.

David Letterman.

David Letterman.

So they've taken this and he's just telling this story

of

meeting Tom Cruise and talking to Tom Cruise and then Seth Rogan.

And what's wild about this is if you watch it and no one has told you this is a deep fake, you may not notice

it's so subtle.

but he's talking about Tom Cruise, and all of a sudden, he just kind of transforms into Tom Cruise.

And he's like, Yeah, yeah.

And his face looks like Tom Cruise, but it's so subtle.

The manipulation of the video.

You might even think he's just doing that.

Yeah.

Kind of like Jim Carrey looks like the characters he does.

Right.

He just has this rubber face that just makes him look like these guys.

It's so subtle.

Now, we're going to play the audio here, and if you happen to be watching The Blaze, you'll see it.

Here's Bill Hayter on Letterman.

Letterman, sorry.

And so it's like, you know, all these heavyweights, like, you know, you know, Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Denny Jr., everybody.

And at the end is like me.

Like, you know, like, hey.

Happy to be here, guys.

And Tom explains how his face is.

And then Tom Cruise.

He kind of looks like Tom Cruise.

And even those guys are going.

He's super stoked to be there.

You know, he's like, yeah, oh, boom.

You know,

wow.

Stop.

Stop.

It's uncanny.

What's interesting about it is even when I watch it for the 10th time, I can't see when it changes.

I can't see.

And all of a sudden, I'm just looking at Tom Cruise and absolutely.

I never saw it change.

Right.

And you think, I mean, it is so seamless.

It looks like, if you didn't notice, you know, where I watch it is his teeth.

His teeth are crooked.

Tom Cruise has very distinctive teeth.

I don't know if you've ever seen this, but Tom Cruise, his teeth, his center of his front teeth is off center.

No, I never noticed that.

Yeah, so he has really a distinctive

smile and distinctive teeth, and so does Bill Hayter.

And Bill's teeth are a little bit off.

One of them is a little sharp and kind of crooked in the front.

And so if you watch his tooth line, you can see when that kind of all of a sudden, the jagged tooth goes away.

Rewind this a little bit and play back.

There's plenty more

of the impression coming up here in the video if you want to take it from where it is from the Seth Rogen party.

And some other supporting guys.

And then Tom Cruise walks in.

Look at that.

And even those guys are like, whoa, and he's super stoked to be there.

He's like, yeah, see?

You know, like,

he's like, wow.

He is

immediately excited

when he walks into a room.

And

so he comes over and he sits next to me and I think he had been briefed on some of the supporting guys but

he was like trying to place me you know so he sat down next to me he's like I

geez look at that

I love your work

and I went oh thanks I love your work too Tom Cruise

and

and I go yeah you know I'm friends with Judd Appetow and Seth Rogan and they went to your house.

And went, yes, yes, yes.

They did come to my house.

And looks just like that.

Seth Rogan was like, you know, it was amazing.

He has like, you know, a bike track in his backyard.

It's phenomenal.

And I did a Seth Rogan impression, and it was like I did a magic trick.

Tom Cruise was like, yeah,

and he points to me.

And he pointed to me, and he goes, you do impressions, and you're on Saturday Night Live.

It was like you want a game show.

He was like, yeah, Tom.

So, wow.

So, now here's why this is so important.

Here's why you need to see this.

Because, like Stu said, you can't tell where it begins and where it ends.

Yeah, and kind of on your point, I mean, the teeth do change, but they change when his mouth is closed.

Yes.

So, you never actually see the change happen.

The rest of it is happening in front of your eyes, and I still can't see when it happens.

You can't.

It's just all of a sudden, I'm looking at Tom Cruise or Seth Rogan.

I mean, Bill Hayter looks nothing like Seth Rogan, and yet still it somehow happens, and it looks natural.

And so, can you imagine someone, a political figure, you know, being

manipulated to say something that they didn't say or do something that they didn't do?

It would be so incredibly easy.

Look,

do you remember when I met with President Bush in the Oval and I said to him, Why aren't you saying these things?

Remember?

Why?

Because he was a different person.

You know, he was like, and

shoes, shoes.

When he was speaking publicly.

You know, and you're like, what are you talking about, man?

Talking to him one-on-one,

super crystal clear, very articulate, no

calculation.

And that was the understanding that I got from him.

He's calculating because what he said was, when you're the president of the United States, every word, every shift of your eyes is analyzed.

Okay?

Now think of that.

Every shift of your eyes is analyzed by who?

The rest of the world.

Imagine manipulating video so carefully and so subtly over time

that nobody really notices it except for those who are really looking for tips on what is the president really saying.

Well, yeah, exactly.

I mean, anything, think of this scenario.

We're in the middle of the Kavanaugh hearings.

Yes.

And everyone's talking about, did this guy do these creepy things?

Did he not?

And a video comes out of him at a pre-teen, you know,

cheerleading competition where he's blatantly eyeing up some like 13-year-old girl for like a really long, uncomfortable time.

Yes.

Now, in reality, he's sitting there and he's watching his daughter's competition and not doing that, but they've manipulated the eyes to make it look like he's looking up and down some girl and making really huge.

Just that would be enough to derail his entire candidacy for the Supreme Court.

Yes.

Right.

And think, I mean, that's just a minor example.

You know, think of the, just think of the different things that could be done by foreign governments.

So, so just think of this.

And we talked about this 15 years ago when we first saw that algorithms could change things.

Now, this is way before algorithms were changing things.

This was just theory when we first talked about this.

And I said at the time,

so wait a minute.

So if you have all of the information of people, you know what they're looking at, you know if they're sick,

what they're suffering from, what their childhood was, who their friends are.

You have all of the information and

you know who they communicate with, how they communicate.

It wouldn't be so hard to make crazy killers, to wind crazy people up.

And you could do it completely fingerprintless because you could adjust or tweak just their algorithm a little bit or just have all of their information and go, you know, they have a propensity of believing this.

And you could just change things just enough for them.

Just change the order of stories for them.

Just change things that don't leave any fingerprints.

And all of a sudden, you've made this person believe something that's not true.

And you've never said a word to them.

You don't have any fingerprint because what?

I had nothing to do with this.

He was checking the news every day, but that news has been twisted and

turned just a little bit.

You're seeing this yesterday.

We found out that we're

on a Google list.

And I don't want to get into it, but Glennbeck.com is on a banned list from Google.

So is Stephen Crowder.

Okay.

Well, wait a minute.

So

when you're looking for stuff, Glennbeck.com and Stephen Crowder, louderwithcrowder.com, not coming up in your search results, you really have to look for it.

Well, that's just slight manipulation to keep our voices out of your path.

And

what?

They can say anything.

No, no, that's not exactly what it is.

Well, is it or isn't it?

It's fingerprintless.

You don't know.

So

they can make these subtle changes.

And I'm not talking, I'm not saying they're doing it now, although I am saying they are.

Yes, I am saying they are doing this now.

They're just not targeting necessarily an individual, but they are targeting America at Google.

And they are manipulating the way you see and the filters that you see things through.

And you have no idea.

Mark my words.

This is going to be one of those, here's a prediction.

Mark my words.

By 2025, at the earliest,

maybe by the latest, probably 2030, we are going to be having discussions about

free will.

And we're going to be having the conversation, is there free will?

Do you even have free will?

And here, and I'll explain.

Let me take a one-minute break and I'll explain what I mean by that.

And it's probably the most important question that we have to answer.

and it's better if we answer it now than in 2025.

So excited about our cruise through history.

Taking a cruise through history, going through the Mediterranean.

You're going to love it.

We're going to Italy, we're going to Greece, Croatia, Israel.

How could you possibly not be a part of it?

There are only 100 cabins left.

There are 3,000 people on board already.

So they're all, this is an exclusive cruise just with my peeps.

So we're all just going to be hanging out together.

And we're going to be, David Barton is going to be there.

Rabbi Daniel Lapin, Tim Ballard will be there.

Bill O'Reilly, we're going to be doing a show with when we get to Israel.

I think he's actually going to be on the ship with us for a while.

We have added shows.

while we're at sale.

Some of the things we're going to be going on tours together in different places.

There's all kinds of packages and lots to do.

And it really is about the history of who we are and where we came from.

This is really, truly a once-in-a-lifetime cruise through the Mediterranean.

Tickets are almost sold out.

They are offering a $300 discount to sell it out, but it's this week only.

It is an all-inclusive trip.

That means the airfare, the gratuity.

You don't have to bring a wallet.

You need to bring your passport.

But you can go on this

cruise and not spend a dime.

You know, if you don't have to bring anything back from, oh no, I got this in Athens.

Oh, geez.

Bringing back stupid, I carried, I was in Australia, and I carried these stupid kangaroo, stuffed kangaroos back, and I bought them like the second day I was there.

So I'm lugging these things around from city to city.

And

then I get to the airport.

They're selling the damn same damn kangaroo at the airport.

And I'm like, like, God.

Anyway, save $300 right now.

Just visit Cruise Through History.

Do it today.

This offer is only for this week.

Like I said, there's only about 100 cabins left.

There might be less than

100 cabins.

Save $300 this week only.

Cruise Through History.

Just go to come saileaway.com to learn more.

Come sailaway.com.

Better do it now.

We pause for 10 seconds, station ID.

So, riddle me this, Pat Man.

Do we have free will?

Do you have free will?

Yes.

How do you know that?

Because God gave it to me.

God gave it to you.

Right.

Okay.

Right.

But how can you prove that that you are the one making the decisions?

I really can't.

You really can't.

You really can't.

You can in some ways.

The argument has been in the past, well, advertising, do you really want Coke?

Or did you, were you kind of talked into it?

No, I can stop buying Coke anytime I want.

That's what a lot of addicts say.

What?

That's what a lot of cocaine addicts say.

Right.

No, not that kind of Coke.

Oh.

So So they didn't, that Coke doesn't need to advertise, actually.

It's just a very strong product.

It does a good job.

Good job.

Yeah, that's totally free will for a while.

But now the world we're entering is you're going to be, for instance, with Amazon sent things

that

you haven't ordered.

Okay, they're going to just start they're going to know you so well that you are going to be sent products before you've ordered them.

Now, they're going to know you so well that when you're talking and they're listening, you're talking and saying, you know what, honey, we should go on a cruise.

They'll know that you're part of the Glenbeck audience, that you've just said we should go on a cruise, that you don't know about this, and all of a sudden you're going to see advertising for the Glenbeck cruise.

And apparently that's already happening.

Right.

It's already happening.

So this is just the first step.

What happens when you've been booked on this cruise?

Now you can cancel, sure, send it back to us and cancel it, but you've been booked on the cruise.

And here's the clothes that we know you're going to want on that.

Well,

yes, you have free will.

You can send it back, but

you're kind of being manipulated because you didn't think about the new clothes, but it makes sense and you might think about it anyway on your own.

And so where does that end?

When you're making a decision politically,

how much were you shaped shaped through the algorithms, through the ads that you saw that were placed at the right time in the right place for you personally?

It's not a mass thing.

This is subliminal advertising.

This is, I'm sending you exactly the right story for you with exactly the right ad for you because I know what you're saying.

I know what you're thinking.

I know you better than you know you.

When an algorithm knows you literally better than you know you,

who has the free will?

Now, I still think it's me.

You're still making the decision yourself to do these things.

Correct.

Correct.

You're just being nudged a little bit.

Exactly right.

This is the ultimate Cass Sunstein nudge.

Sure is.

And society

just goes.

It just moves.

So whoever is controlling these algorithms is really controlling the free will of the mass.

Because, how many of us are going to stop and think, well, now, wait a minute, what went into that decision?

Hang on, can I trust that news?

Can I trust this?

On all the subtle things like we just started talking about with Bill Hayter.

To Glenn Beck.

American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

So

he talked to you about American financing.

Our economy is pretty good right now overall.

I'm going to explain that yield curve thing because I looked into it yesterday and I'm like, ah, they're leaving out a few facts here.

And when the market moves like that, we should be aware of it.

Now,

Alan Greenspan said there is no floor to interest rates.

So that could mean,

you know, negative interest interest rates at some point wow okay

that's interesting um that's what they're talking about interest interest rates are really super important it's a nudge to either buy stuff or not buy stuff What I would suggest is you call American Financing right now.

If you're looking to refi your mortgage, you're looking for a new mortgage, or you're looking to consolidate so you can get out of debt.

Right now, American Financing, family owned and operated, help you coast to coast.

They've got you covered.

800-906-2440.

Please act on this now.

AmericanFinancing.net.

Coming up, we're going to talk to Charlie Kirk.

He's from Turning Point USA and give him his take on the news of the day.

888-727-BEC is the phone number.

All right, there's a few things that you need to understand about what happened to the stock market yesterday.

I'm going to try try to explain it to you

as simple as I can.

And I'm not an expert in any of this stuff.

I'm just curious.

And I don't believe that you get the full truth when you watch the news.

And everybody was freaking out yesterday.

And I wanted to know why.

Well, they're leaving a few things out that are kind of important facts.

And we'll get to those coming up in the top of the hour.

Charlie Kirk is joining us now.

He is the founder and president of Turning Point USA, also the host of the Charlie Kirk Show.

Welcome to the program, Charlie.

Great to be here.

Thanks so much, Glenn.

You bet, I wanted to have you on.

I wanted to talk about because you've been going

and talking to so many people.

You've been to the Iowa State Fair.

You have been on the campuses for a couple of things.

First, I want to talk to you about the El Paso narrative.

How close are we?

You know, Donald Trump said last week that

he thought that he could sway even his base to go for some things that he claimed were common sense

gun control laws like red flag laws, et cetera, et cetera.

And the poll numbers look like that might be a possibility that 40% of Republicans are even saying, yeah, we need stricter laws.

Is this

what is what happened here?

How close are we, do you think, to making some fundamental changes on the Second Amendment?

Too close.

And thankfully, we still live in a country where if the majority wants to take our rights away, they shouldn't be able to and they can't.

That's the whole point of understanding and protecting natural rights.

I mean, thank goodness that we don't have voting by the mob that can take away our First Amendment.

It's beginning to get that way.

But this is a really important point, Glenn, that what makes the Scottish Enlightenment ideas so critical that we're enshrined in our Constitution is that it's sort of irrelevant if 55 or 60 percent of the country want to just, by vote or decree, take rights that we have upon our birth away from us.

And it's really important that when we talk about increasing government regulation, it might sound good or feel good, but especially from the federal government, we have to act as if or say as if

what if the government bureaucrat that we distrust most had that kind of governmental power.

So for conservatives, let's not forget Lois Lerner.

Remember Lois Lerner, who investigated the Tea Party and basically got up scot free for

blowing up a lot of grassroots energy and enthusiasm in our base.

Imagine if she had the kind of control to register guns and to come after our Second Amendment rights.

All of a sudden, I guarantee you that the supposed support amongst Republicans for increased gun control can diminish and would diminish and would decrease.

So that's the way I think we have to frame this argument is

you're going to be giving more power to government bureaucrats that hate you.

They hate your worldview.

They want to make sure and make certain that people that believe in libertine ideas or a conservative worldview or Judeo-Christian ethic will have a decreased amount of say and authority.

And that should be said of the First Amendment as well as the Second Amendment.

Why is this happening

with the left?

Are they just playing a longer game and they just know that these things always work out in their favor?

Or

I mean, I don't understand the disconnect.

Donald Trump is a dictator.

He's a Nazi.

He is building concentration camps.

Quick, let's give our guns to his government.

Which it's, again, that is the best argument to kind of cross-examine the left's lack of logic on this.

Because, wait a second, I thought they don't trust this government because Donald Trump is in charge.

I thought he's the one that is building alleged concentration camps, which is just not true on the southern border.

Now, the left wants that very same government to take guns away.

That doesn't make a lot of sense.

But look, from a broader perspective, you're in a bigger picture, is the left is embarking, and

they're well on their way for the deconstruction of our country.

And that's the philosophy here.

It's deconstructionism.

And you've educated your audience brilliantly on this.

And I wish more people did exactly what you've done, which you go through the historical roots of this from the Frankfurt School on, which is it's a deliberate attempt to deconstruct our country from women.

And the left understands that

there's the natural rights that we have that are protected in the in the Bill of Rights but there are three that are really really important right to expression and right to dialogue the Second Amendment and the Fourth Amendment those and the Tenth Amendment as well I'd say states' rights and not anything that's not listed should be decentralized in nature the left has a full front flow assault on those four things in particular

trying to attack our religious expression trying to take our guns away trying to erode our personal pro our personal privacy and property and finally to destroy states' rights as we know it and the left plays a much more patient game than we play.

They are much more deliberate, and they're okay looking at things in a 50 to 100-year

type perspective.

And we, as conservatives, tend not to do that.

So, Charlie, let me bring this up to you

because you know history well enough

to be able to see this giant arc.

But I just did an episode a couple of days ago on the comparison

of the wantabe presidency of Elizabeth Warren to Woodrow Wilson and went through Philip Drew Administrator, which was written by Colonel House during the Wilson administration to really kind of say in novel form what the progressives really wanted.

And it's Elizabeth Warren.

I mean, they are willing to do a long, long look.

They're more Chinese than American in their thinking.

Totally.

And I'll give you another kind of really interesting parallel.

Where did Woodrow Wilson come from?

Princeton University.

Yes.

He was the president of Princeton University and then governor of New Jersey.

Where does Elizabeth Warren come from?

Harvard.

I mean, when you're born out of the academy and you're born, you're kind of a prototype, if you will, of higher education.

You will bring that radicalism with you.

And Woodrow Wilson was probably one of the most damaging presidents besides FDR and LBJ in the last hundred years of our personal freedoms and liberties that few people talk about.

But you actually educated me on this topic through your books and your show seven or eight years ago when I first started to become aware of the threat of progressivism.

And the year of 1917, boy, if you look at one year that

eroded our freedoms and liberties almost more than any other, whether it be the creation of the Federal Income Tax or the creation of the Federal Reserve Act,

I mean, this singular individual pioneered more erosion of states' rights and individual sovereignty than anyone else.

I'm sorry, 1913, it was, if my memory serves me correctly, was the Revenue Act.

1917 was World War I.

I stand corrected.

1913.

But that is a great parallel, Glenn.

And what does ⁇

if I were to venture a guess, I think the party, the Democrat Party, is much more likely to nominate Elizabeth Warren than Joe Biden.

Elizabeth Warren can kind of be the intersectional candidate that they're looking for in the sense that

she's angry, yet she is thoughtful enough that she'll be able to appease the Democrat suburban voters and the new kind of Democrat suburban women voters.

She's academic enough to appease the New York Times oligarchs, and she also has enough populism in her to be able to kind of channel that Bernie Sanders energy.

She's drawing bigger crowds.

She's raising a tremendous amount of money.

And so, wow, is that a great comparison to you?

And it's so funny you mentioned the Chinese, Glenn.

Recently, I said to someone, I said, the left thinks like the Chinese do.

They think in terms of centuries.

And

they're okay with multi-decade plans to, in the words of our previous president, fundamentally transform our country.

And you look at it, we as conservatives have such a difficult task because we look as if we're anti-progress.

But guess what?

That's okay sometimes.

Some things should not change.

In fact, I would make the argument the more we've changed the family, the nuclear family in our country, the more negative side effects, the more broken communities that we've actually experienced.

And

that's an argument we have to make.

You have to change, but you have to

change the things that don't work while leaving the things that do work.

I mean, that's the

point of being a conservative is to conserve the things that work and are true.

We've just come to this place to where we're like, nothing works.

Well, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Some things work really well,

and some things aren't working so well because we've made changes in the past or we've failed to make changes in the past.

So let's sort these through and conserve the good things.

So, Charlie, so is Elizabeth Warren?

Because I am shocked, shocked.

This latest poll

shows me smoke em wumpum

one point away from Joe Biden.

And I think you're right.

I think they are more likely to go with Elizabeth Warren than Joe Biden in the end because she wants to fundamentally transform.

I think

she is

another Hillary Clinton that Donald Trump will crush.

Do you think so, or do you think

there's something to her that should concern us

i want to believe that i'm gonna i'm gonna come up with a piece soon and i'm gonna talk about this on my my podcast glenn you might find this interesting and i i try to be a contrarian by nature but i will tell you that just as we learned that there were hidden trump voters i believe that there are hidden socialist voters out there too that have either been voting green party or have not been showing up in the same numbers now are there enough of them to make elizabeth warren president I don't think so.

But I will kind of throw a little skepticism at some of the conventional wisdom that Trump will win in the landslide against Elizabeth Warren.

And let me tell you why, is I deal mostly on college campuses at Turning Point USA.

And Elizabeth Warren is precisely what college students want in a candidate.

She talks about fundamental transformation.

She's unafraid to question the history of the United States and call our history a mistake, not that we've made a mistake, but that our country is a mistake.

She's unabashed in her promising of free stuff and to have other people pay for her utopian schemes.

And I think that younger voters will show up in numbers that we have not seen since 2008 if Elizabeth Warren is the candidate.

Now, I think she would lose

unbelievably voters over the age of 50.

you know, people that have actually been around for a couple decades and have the sobriety of life, you know, kind of fetch, you know, that they've lived through.

But never underestimate the kind of

unpredictability a candidate can cause when younger voters start to show up.

And we saw this in 2008 and again in 2012 because it throws off all the voting models, Glenn.

If college students voted at the same clip or the same rate as suburban women, Hillary Clinton would be president.

And award is one of the few candidates that can do that.

Now, I think she would actually have a ton of trouble with black voters and Latino voters.

I think the President could do far better in those particular communities than Republicans traditionally have.

But I think that your comparison that Elizabeth Warren is R.

Woodrow Wilson is spot on.

And it's something that needs to be repeated because she's now going to try to create the new century progressive compact to try to finish the vision.

of Rousseau and Marx in our country, to create us to a very mediocre, alleged egalitarian state, which will never happen.

It will just put us in a downward

spiral that the progressives have been trying to embark us on over the last hundred years.

And we must stop this at every single corner and turn in our activism.

And that's what I'm trying to do on college campuses every single day.

Charlie, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

From Turning Point USA, a group that might give you some hope that

the millennials are not all crazy.

And there are many millennials that are out working hard and are changing their mind when they do hear facts.

Charlie Kirk, thank you so much from Turning Point.

I appreciate it.

You bet.

Welcome to the program.

We've had a couple of weird days on the stock market, and you're hearing all kinds of things

on television

about the economy.

And I will tell you that you need to be careful.

I am a, you know me, I'm

an optimistic catastrophist.

Catastrophe is right around the corner, but I'm optimistic we're going to make it through.

I'm not sure.

I mean, look, a global crash is coming, but they're talking about this yield curve inversion,

and they're leaving some important facts out.

And that's why we have seen the, you know, Christmas is saved one day and what, a 500-point jump in the stock market.

And then we're all doomed the very next day and an 800-point drop.

We'll explain this and give you the things that I think people are leaving out.

And you then decide what you think is happening with our economy.

Coming up.

I'm Hillary.

That's your Four Minute Buzz.

Boy, you would think yesterday in New York that

watching the stock market, it's over.

It's over.

I don't think this is it.

And this, all this talk about this yield curve inversion.

I'm not a bond trader.

I'm not a Wall Street guy, but I play one on the radio.

I am a thinker, and

I can read and look into things.

And there's a few things that really have been left out of the scenario that you're hearing about, about this great recession that now has to be underway, because every recession in the last 50 years has started with a yield curve inversion.

This is it.

Well, that's only half true.

When you know the second half of that equation, you realize, wait a minute, what are we panicking for?

I'll give this to you in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Something that's always made me really uncomfortable, and I think you're the same way, is the idea that companies I purchase things from might use their money to do evil things in the world.

I don't like to buy products and I won't buy products that I are made by slaves.

You know, that's kind of a bad thing.

I know, I don't want to do that.

Although, I purchase Apple products, and I think they're doing the same thing.

You learn, when you learn about a company, it might change things.

When you learn about your mobile phone provider and their help to fund Planned Parenthood, you know, I want to make sure that I don't have anything to do with that.

That's why I have switched to Patriot Mobile, and I highly recommend you do the same thing.

I can't tell you to switch to something that's just not as good as what you already have.

You're going to get the same great cell service because everyone's on the same cell towers now.

Patriot Mobile is the only conservative cell phone company.

It's run by veterans.

It doesn't give funding to anti-conservative causes.

It's a great service, and that's why I switched and you should switch.

Thousands already have.

If you make the switch you can upgrade your phone if you want to a brand new Moto Z3 Play for only five bucks a month.

That's with a six inch screen, expandable storage, high quality camera and a whole lot more.

Five bucks a month.

And there he was, Donald Trump, with all of the toys and all of the Christmas trees and everything that we might ever want for Christmas, up at the tippy top of Mount Crumpet, where he stood there ready to dump it.

And then

he heard something,

and he realizes that maybe Christmas is all about

boxes and bags.

Maybe it is all about the things that you can buy and things that you can have.

And so he took that sleigh full of stuff and

he said, well, I'm just going to keep it over here and I'm not going to dump it until maybe after the Christmas shopping season.

I might dump it, but I'm not sure.

So go out, feel free.

You can buy some stuff.

I'm not going to come and take away your stuff before Christmas.

That is a very childish way of explaining what happened with the trade barrier.

The trade barriers that the president put up with China and were about to go into effect, which were much, much harsher on China, he decided to pull off the table until after Christmas because he said he didn't want people to have to spend an extra

money at all

on getting

their perfect Christmas presents.

Just a little strange considering it was very much explained that there would not be an effect to consumers from these tariffs.

Remember, China was paying

all of them?

It is proof positive that it is you that pays the price for this.

Everybody knows, I think, who's ever looked at it, but the sell on the tariffs was a little bit different than I think the reality.

You want to punish China.

Well, no, you're punishing the American worker, the American shopper.

That's who you're punishing.

And we're punishing the Chinese shopper over there.

Yeah,

it's not bad just for us.

It's bad for everybody.

It's bad for them, too.

Yeah, it's really bad.

It is.

It definitely does punish them at some level.

It just punishes them at our expense.

So luckily, the president knows that anything that hurts the economy, he's got to stop or he might lose the election.

And so he pulled this off the table temporarily, which is bothersome, but at least he made this move.

Now, the press was saying, oh, Donald Trump blinked.

Donald Trump blinked.

Okay, that's the last thing you want to say to this president if you really care about the country.

Right.

It was like the day after when all this stuff was going on with El Paso.

What's his face?

The former FBI director, James Comey, writes an op-ed in the New York Times.

The president must denounce racism and must denounce white supremacy.

It's like, if you actually wanted him to do that, now he did do it.

And he's done it many times.

But if you actually thought that was important and you're James Comey, the last thing in the world you do is make a public statement about what Donald Trump should do.

Because you're just encouraging him not to do whatever you're asking him to do.

Yeah.

Right.

And of course, the answer is that James Comey has no interest at all what Donald Trump does.

What he has an interest in is how he looks.

And that's why he writes the op-ed.

And of course, this is the same thing with the posturing of the media, right?

Like they don't care about what this trade stuff is.

They were all against free trade for the past five decades.

Now all of a sudden, Donald Trump is more on the protectionist side.

And all of a sudden, these guys are just, I mean,

they're freedmen.

These guys are Milton Friedman all of a sudden.

All they can talk about is how great free trade is.

It is really amazing to see.

But if they actually wanted this to go through, you're right.

They wouldn't fight it like this.

They would do the exact opposite.

So

here's the thing: that

there's a hierarchy of money.

If you have money, and I'm not talking about average money, I'm especially talking about large funds that have money,

sovereign funds

and countries that have money to invest.

When you start freaking out and you have a lot of money like that,

your job is to protect that money.

And there's a hierarchy of money.

When things are going great,

I might start investing in kind of some risky companies and risky stocks because you never know.

And things are going so well that I can afford to lose a little there.

And so I'll get a little risky.

Not me personally, I'm so risk-averse, it's crazy.

But okay, maybe I'll get a little, maybe I'll get a little risky here.

When things get a little shaky, you're like, you know what?

I don't want to really lose any money on real kind of crazy risks.

I want to be a little more safe.

And so you just go into the SP or, you know, the Dow, the big, you know, the big blue chips in the Dow.

And you just invest in the stock market.

When the stock market goes crazy, now you're starting to think, okay, so where do I put my money?

Because I don't want to lose a lot.

All right.

Then you go to bonds, stocks and bonds.

And you're like, okay, I'm going to buy some bonds because,

you know,

I'm not sure what it's going to look like short term.

Maybe I'm comfortable long term, but short term,

I'm a little,

I'm just upset about things.

I just don't feel right.

So I'm going to put some of my money in long-term bonds because they'll pay me usually a little bit more.

And then I'm going to put my the rest of my money in short-term bonds because I don't want to tie my money up for more than two years.

I want to be able to pull it out because I think everything's going to be fine after a year or two.

Yeah, my money will be secure.

I'll make a little bit.

I might make 1% on that, but at least I know I'm getting my money back.

Once you go from bonds, then you get into gold.

Okay, and I don't really trust the bond market because I think the government might be unstable.

And I think there might be riots in the streets.

So I don't even know if I trust bonds.

So then you get into gold and then you or Bitcoin.

And then from there, you kind of get into bullets and Bibles and food.

All right.

That's the hierarchy of money.

So the first thing you do is you take your money out of the crazy stocks.

The second thing you do is take your money out of the stock market.

And then the third thing you do is you take it out of bonds.

Okay.

So here's what's happened.

The world is a little unstable right now.

I don't know if you've noticed this.

I mean, look what's just been happening just this week.

The president sends a signal.

Well, I'm not sure what the economy is going to be like.

The Fed has been sending the signal.

I don't know what the long-term economy is going to be like.

So we're ready to cut interest rates if we have to.

The president then sends a signal, hey, this trade thing is going to cool down for a while, which makes it go up a little bit in the stock market, what, three, 400 points, which is a fairly big move when I was growing up.

It's, I think, 1%

this time, so it's not that big of a move, but it was significant, but it didn't last.

It lasted a day.

Well, why?

Well, because you had the yield curve inversion.

What the hell is a yield curve inversion?

Got to remember there's two kinds of bonds that you can buy.

Oh, I can see what you're doing here.

What?

You're just getting into clickbait.

This is what you're doing.

It's going to get sexy.

This is your gift.

You're trying to be so salacious to get more listeners.

You're like, I'm going to talk about the yield curve inversion again.

And it's like, why not just put porn directly on Glenn Beck Doctor?

I know.

I know.

Why not just do it?

Yes, you'll get people to click, but is that the right thing to do?

So

this is so sexy.

This is so sexy.

There are two kinds of bonds: there's long-term, short-term.

Long-term means I'm going to lock my money up for 10 years and I'm just going to park this because I don't know what is going to happen.

Now, the United States government wants the long-term bonds.

We need people to buy bonds because we're spending money like it's water.

Which, by the way, is going to be the next real global warming global war.

That's after Bible.

Yeah.

Okay.

In the hierarchy.

Yeah, that's going to be higher in the food and

in the money chain soon one day.

But

we're spending so much money.

We want people to buy our bonds.

Our bonds go to auction, okay?

The big bond, when the government says, I'm going to spend a whole buttload of money,

that's when we take all these bonds in long-term chunks and we say, hey, who wants to buy this pile of crap that's probably never going to be paid off?

And we say,

we'll give you

three percent back and everybody's like you're so full of crap no

uh four percent no how about if we give you eight percent return okay so now we're now we're locked into

we get that money but we have to pay it back in 10 years at like five or eight percent interest so we want the interest rates going low

That's why when the bonds come back and they're like, we didn't even sell any,

because we can't afford to jack the interest rate.

We can't pay people to take our crap.

We can't give them enough money to take our crap because they don't believe in us.

When you start to see the yield of a long-term bond go down, that's either because people have a lot of faith in the U.S.

government.

I don't think so.

Or something else is going on.

And that is a lot of people are putting their money there.

They're looking for some safe haven.

And they're like, everything's so crazy.

Well, at least the federal government is good.

Okay, that's how bad this is.

When you start to see a long-term yield come that low,

that's everybody going, well, at least the government's saying.

No, they're not.

That's not a safe place to put your money, in my opinion.

Not 10 years?

Good heavens, what is the country going to look like in 10 years from now?

We could be a red nation.

We could be the communist

or the socialist states of America in 10 years.

Why did everybody put their money there?

Well, it's panic because they know.

They know when that yield curve.

Why are they putting all of their money there?

And who is putting all of their money here there?

Why did the long-term rate go so low,

which means there are more people buying a 10-year parking space for their money.

They just want their money back in 10 years.

Why did that go so low?

Lower than,

you know, I'll give you the money for two years, but I don't trust Uncle Sam that much.

Why did that invert?

I'll tell you in one minute.

I got to drag it out because it's so sexy.

It is so good.

Now you're teasing the porn.

I mean, teasing more porn coming up in just a second.

All right.

That moment of panic that we have,

that moment of almost had it today, woke up naturally, forgot to set the alarm last night, woke up naturally at exactly the time I was supposed to get up, looked at the clock and went, oh my gosh, I better get up because my alarm didn't go off.

And if I don't get up right now, I'm going to fall back to sleep and then it will be way too late.

That moment of panic, that moment of panic happens when your car sounds funny.

When something isn't right with your car, when the check engine light goes on, when you go just to get an oil change and they're like, hey, we want to talk to you.

You're like, no, no, no, no, no.

La la la la la.

I can't hear you.

Because nobody has the money for a repair of their car.

I mean, nobody, nobody has it.

Well, okay.

Jeffrey Epstein probably had it, but he was a crook.

Anyway, this is why you need Car Shield.

now what could make everybody panic

what could make everybody go man I've got to put my money at least the US government is sane how crazy does the world have to be for that to happen?

Well, let me just sketch it out for you.

There has to be a conflict between the two big powers on earth.

Oh,

you mean like a trade war and maybe instability in Hong Kong, which if Hong Kong falls, we know Taiwan will fall.

And what is the relationship between the two economic superpowers?

That might cause a little stress, might cause some people to go, yeah, I don't know what's going to happen there.

Or how about Brexit?

Brexit this fall.

Everybody says that's going to be a disaster.

It'll be the end of the EU.

It'll be the end of the economy as we know it.

That's what all the experts are saying.

Looks like we're headed for a no-deal Brexit on October 31st.

I don't know.

Is that a big deal?

Hey, how about India and Pakistan?

Did you see what's happening in Kashmir?

Yeah, and they've got nuclear weapons.

So don't worry about that.

The European continent

is in recession.

The global central banks, the European central bank, they don't have any more money.

They're now going into negative interest rates.

So you buy a bond

from the European Central Bank.

You're not getting them.

They're not paying you anymore.

You're so desperate, you're saying, hey, if I give you $100 in 10 years, would you give me $95 back?

Whoa, what an investment.

You're just asking, can I have some of my money?

Well, now, if you can take your money and go and get a great deal like that, or you can put $100 away and get $102

back as opposed to $95, which one are you going to do?

We have billions of dollars all around the world this week because of instability that are rushing in.

And they're looking for a place to hide.

They're looking for a place that's stable.

Well, just like when we can't sell this bowl of crap because everybody knows it's a bowl of crap, when it's the best, tastiest bowl of crap available, everybody is rolling in with money.

Well, that's when we say, well, I'm not so sure I want to sell that.

I'm only going to give you $2 extra instead of eight or $10.

That's called the free market.

Everybody freaked out.

Now, here's the one thing that everybody's leaving out.

This inversion curve, last 50 years, we have not had a recession that hasn't had the first sign

a yield curve inversion.

Okay.

Well, that's half the information I need.

Thank you for that.

Have we ever had

an inversion like this

that

wasn't followed by a recession?

Oh, yeah, yeah, sure, we've had those, yeah, yeah.

But in the last 50 years, all of the recessions preceded.

Yeah, but you just said we've had these before and it didn't lead to a recession.

I legitimately heard this report this exact way, where they said the last five recessions had this inversion beforehand.

Yes.

And then they never said

the fact that we've had other inversions without recessions.

Of course not.

That's amazing.

And has that been common?

It's kind of important.

Has that been common?

Yeah.

I mean, it's, you know, it's not like one example 50 right but it's not one example right wow geez i mean this is just one sign not the sign and by the way sometimes these yields conversion or inversions can happen and the recession won't start for two years it's that far ahead

you're listening to glenn back

Okay, so now that we've gone through all of that,

how do you feel about the economy, huh?

Because I'm feeling great.

You know what's done great?

Gold.

Have you seen the price?

Oh, you tell people to get a gold?

That's crazy.

Oh, is it?

Is it?

Have you seen the price of gold?

Gold is going up for a reason.

Because while everybody else is like, oh, no, at least the government's sane,

people like me are like, no, they're not.

They're not sane.

Remember just a few months ago, they couldn't sell any of these bonds?

They're like, we don't have enough money to offer anymore.

Now they're selling like crazy.

We should be in bonds.

No!

Perhaps the smart money this week is going into gold.

That's why it's skyrocketing.

Please, if you have ever considered gold and you want to be safe and you're at all freaked out about anything, please consider gold or silver.

Gold and silver, they are the refuse from humanity, from insanity.

Tonight on TV, Glenn talks to a comedian who is trying to get everybody on the right fired.

He's a big left winger, had a total conversion.

Go to LazTV.com/slash Glenn.

Quickly, Glenn, I've noticed you,

I don't know, inspired apparently a major controversy because I've listened to this program heard your monologue on Monday about the Statue of Liberty and the M.

Lazarus poem.

Yeah, I think it was actually Tuesday.

When Tuesday was the green card thing came out

on Monday, and everybody's like, what about the tired and poor and huddled masses?

Right.

So you did this entire monologue about what the poem actually means.

And you've done this before.

As Conservative Review points out today, you did it in your 2010 CPAC keynote speech.

Yes.

So you've done this.

You've been talking about this for a long time.

The information's out there, but you did it again this weekend and tied it specifically to the story.

Well, I don't know if Ken Cuccinelli listens to the program.

He may.

But he came out and talked about this as well.

Here he is.

And this is the controversial part.

So get scared here because you're about to hear some very nasty words about people that aren't European.

Here's Ken Cuccinelli on the Statue of Liberty.

What do you think America stands for?

Well, of course, that poem was referring back to people coming from Europe where they had class-based societies where people were considered wretched if they weren't in the right class.

That's exactly right.

No, it's not actually.

Madeleine Albright sets Ken straight.

I'm not sure that one can say that it's part of American heritage.

There have been various periods where Americans have been very generous in our immigration policy.

And I do think that this country has benefited by the diversity that has come through immigration.

And And so I find it one of the most un-American statements I've ever heard.

And you pointed out that I have a Statue of Liberty pin on.

I think the Statue of Liberty is weeping.

It's weeping, Glenn.

Really?

I don't know if you know this.

It's a bronze statue.

It can't weep.

So let's talk about some facts.

I think the Statue of Liberty is weeping.

Yeah.

If it is, it's because it's being distorted.

You can make the Statue of Liberty into whatever you want it to be, but that doesn't change the facts of why it was built and what the damn poem means.

First of all, Madeline, why was that poem even written?

Do you know?

Anybody know why?

To show that we need free immigration and then everyone gets on a welfare program.

No.

It was to buy the, it was to raise money, buy this poem,

and we'll be able to build a stone platform that we can put this stupid French piece of crap on because they just dumped it in our park.

We need to buy a bunch of stuff now because all parts were not included.

So we need to buy stuff.

And Emma's like, I'll write a poem.

Maybe you can sell that.

Okay, it's got to be a really good poem because we got to buy a lot of rocks.

That's why the poem was written.

So I'm sorry to break it to you, all you anti-capitalists, but that was why that poem was written.

The second thing is she was putting the Statue of Liberty into context.

What is this

brazen giant?

Why did France send us this?

If it doesn't have anything to do with Europe, explain, keep your storied pomp and ancient lands, cries she with silent lips.

Explain that.

Which ancient lands?

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame.

That's in Europe, I think.

I'm pretty sure.

Isn't that in Europe?

I think Greek is in Europe.

I think that's in Europe.

Wow.

Technically speaking, yes, I believe so.

So it's not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, the statue of Rhodes.

It's not like that one.

The eighth wonder, one of the eighth wonders of the world.

It's then crying out.

This one is crying out, keep your ancient lands in storied pomp.

Yeah, where were immigrants generally coming from at this time?

And historically, where were the immigrants coming from?

that built this country.

Two lands, Africa.

Yes, the Statue of Liberty does address Africans that came here as slaves.

That's why there's a chain broken on her foot and her ankle, a broken chain.

The Statue of Liberty, the law that she holds, breaks the chains of slavery when properly administered.

That's what the chain is.

So the second group of people that came in, generally speaking, where did they come from?

Oh,

Europe.

That's what that poem is about.

That's what the statue is about.

And the worst distortion of it is, oh, Gimme, you're tired.

You're poor.

You're huddled masses.

Oh, this makes me so angry.

That's what they wanted.

They wanted to, you know what?

We'll take care of the people you won't take care of.

Come to us, and our government will supply the things that these people need.

First of all, the Statue of Liberty was built for what?

Oh, because they wanted to give us a great gift.

Who gives people a gift like that?

Well, at least we know they don't have another one like it.

Who gives a gift like that?

And if you're going to give a gift, why ship it over and like, hey, and by the way,

all the pots are in the box.

You're going to have to put it together.

But we made it super easy for you.

All the instructions are in French.

That's no help.

Better than IKEA, but no help.

Yes, but no help.

Okay?

It wasn't really for us.

That statue was made and they raised money, just like the Emma Lazarus poem.

Why is the poem?

Why was the poem written?

Oh, because it wanted to describe him.

No.

It was to raise money.

Why was the Statue of Liberty built?

Because there was this guy who had this idea of making a giant, a brazen giant like that of Greek fame that he could sell to Egypt that would stand

right where the Panama Canal is.

I don't remember exactly, but I think it was in that area.

That's what he wanted to do.

And Egypt's like, beat it, dirtbag.

We don't need your giant statue.

I mean, have you seen how we're living?

We don't even have toilets yet.

So he leaves, but he wants to build this giant statue.

So then he meets with some people in France.

Hey, I know you got the Eiffel Tower.

What do you think about maybe, what do you think?

Huh?

Maybe, you think, maybe, huh?

And they're like, no, wait, well, wait a minute, wait a minute.

And what's going on at the time?

Marxism.

Marxism.

In 1848, in Germany, wow, German?

That's German?

Oh, well, I love the ideas from Germany.

They're all so good, aren't they?

Especially when they come up with new ways to bring government, to make it big and powerful.

Those are great ideas.

In 1840, Marx and Engels, 1848, they print

what's called the Communist Manifesto.

The Communist Manifesto was an idea to change all of Europe.

Because all of the Europe, they had storied pomp and ancient lands, and they were holding people down.

Because if you didn't have the right name, the right connection, if you weren't a lord or a lady, if you weren't a landowner, you had no rights.

You had nothing.

And so the communists said, that's not right.

Now, there was another group of people that said, that's not right.

They were called the American founders.

And so the people who made the Statue of Liberty and, coincidentally, the guy who painted the crossing of the Delaware with George Washington in the boat, you know, the one that we're also famous?

You know, the original is not in the Met.

That's a copy.

The original doesn't exist anymore.

It was burned down

during World War II.

It burned

because it was bombed by the Allies.

By the...

Bombed by the Allies.

I didn't know that the Met was bombed by the Allies.

No, it was in Germany.

Because it was painted for Germans because the painter saw Marx and Engels and went, that's the wrong idea.

I'm going to paint a painting that explains what America does because, yes, everybody needs to be in the boat, but America has the right idea.

That's why there is a farmer.

There is a

woodsman in it.

There is a black guy, a Native American.

There's a woman in that boat.

A woman?

What?

No, America hates women.

No,

everyone was in the boat.

That's why that painting was painted.

The Statue of Liberty was made for the same reason.

They needed to raise money.

They used the raising of money as a way to get into people's homes and their hearts and say, have you seen what the Americans have done?

Have you seen what they've done?

Because we weren't trying to dominate the world.

We were just quiet.

We just went around and just be like, hey, we're cool with everybody.

We actually didn't have this empire kind of attitude at the time that the progressives brought us.

And so what did we do?

They needed to get in and tell people the American story.

So they said, hey, they just freed all those slaves.

Wasn't that cool?

And they're coming up with their 100th anniversary.

We want to give them the statue.

Oh, they're going to love it.

Yeah.

They're going to love it.

They're going to love it.

Huge statue people.

Yeah, they're huge statue people.

They're huge statue people.

Their president's going going to be a guy who's going to be like, it's the greatest statue ever.

It's coming.

We're way ahead of the curve.

They were doing it to sell the American idea as opposed to Marxism.

That's why it was built.

The poem was made to be able to

sell, to make enough money to buy the platform stones.

And, you know, look, there's a lot of people on Twitter who don't know that, right?

But the journalists who are all making it seem like, well, what Ken Cuccinelli meant was it only applies to white people from Europe because that is the way they're characterizing it.

It's egregious.

They know it's a disgraceful mischaracterization of what he's saying.

You know exactly what he was saying.

And what he was saying specifically was, yeah, we want to take the people that your class system, and he mentions the class system.

Yes.

Your class system will not allow to achieve anything, even if they're fantastic.

They can be be the greatest people and the people who are the highest achievers in your society, but because of your class system, they can never escape where they were born into.

Here, there isn't that system.

So when they were freeing them of that system, not every person who needs help from the government is going to come and get it.

That's not what it's about.

Keep your storied pomp and your ancient lands, cries she.

She is talking to Europe.

And then she says,

Send me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free.

Send these, the tempest toss, to me.

So, in other words, what it's saying is, you keep people down.

You're keeping people homeless.

You have all of these rules and regulations and all your storied crap that we don't have, we don't want.

You send us the people that you say can't make it because I'm standing right here and I'm guarding this door.

You notice the Statue of Liberty, her her butt is showing to us her face her eyes are looking to Europe

guarding from the garbage of Europe saying you sent these people and said they can't do anything well you know what one of those people came over here and that's why I'm holding imprisoned lightning imprisoned lightning light it's not Edison it's Tesla one of the wretched refuse that came to our shore built the alternator, the generators that we have in the dam that powers the imprisoned lightning, as it's mentioned in the poem.

So please, don't get me started on this.

If somebody in the media would like to know, oh, I'd love to give them a history lesson on what that poem means, but it is the exact opposite of what they say it is.

And by the way, the law at the time it was written, immigration law of the United States, said, if, when boats are coming over here, ships, immigration ships, if on such examination there shall be found among such passengers any convict, lunatic, idiot, or any person unable to take care of himself or herself without becoming a public charge, such persons

should not be permitted to land.

They're not even able to step foot on land.

And you know who had to pay for their return trip?

The ship that brought them here.

We ain't paying for it.

Good luck with that passenger.

You shouldn't have put him on the boat in the first place.

Oh, I can't take it.

Why lie about it?

Self-ish.

It's funny how to criticize.

Why lie?

Why lie?

Self-imposed ignorance at best.

All right.

So thanks to Sue, I'm out of time now.

Not able to go through something that I

really

can't wait to talk to you about.

Taliban Omar.

They're now saying the president, because the president warned Israel,

you know, I don't think it's going to work out well if Talib and Omar come into your country because they were going next week and they were going to, quote, visit the West Bank and the Temple Mound.

Well, first of all,

the West Bank?

Yeah.

Why do you call it the West Bank?

Why was it originally changed?

When did it become the West Bank?

And why is it the West Bank?

Can you answer that one?

Real me that one, Batman.

Seems like I really stopped this rant.

What a good job I did stopping you from ranting about this story.

I want to hear your rant on this story for sure.

You're the one that just went off about a poem for our because you didn't hear if I was ready to talk about this.

I didn't bring it up.

The media did it to us.

It's the media.

The media is now making Donald Trump into and Israel into his little puppet.

No, there's a good reason why Israel said to leave and Omar stay home.

And I will tell you because I have first-hand knowledge tomorrow.

you're listening to Glenn Beck.
