Freedom Still Rings | Guest: Pat Gray | 7/8/19

I'm Hillary, that's your Foreman at Fuzz.

And now here's Glenn with the start of the show.

Good morning.

Well, thank you so much, Hillary.

I appreciate it.

I want to tell you about our sponsor, the SF Hour.

It is a cruise through history.

By the way, I'm here in our New York studios and

just thrilled to be here.

And I'll tell you about the wonderful experience of New York coming up.

But cruise through history.

If you would like to come on a cruise with us, it's going to be a blast.

Bill O'Reilly is going to be there.

Stu will be there.

I'll be there.

I guess the number one question is, are we actually going to be able to see Glenn and meet Glenn?

Yeah, we're trapped on a cruise ship together, like it or not.

And I think that we're doing like five different shows on the ship.

One, two, three, four, five, maybe even six.

And then a couple of shows on the

land.

And you can come on tours with me, whatever you would like to do.

Just find out all the information.

It's come saileaway.com, comesailaway.com.

It's happening next spring.

We're going to the Mediterranean, Athens, Venice,

Israel.

It's going to be amazing.

Bill O'Reilly will be there.

I'll be there.

You can get the early bird discount of 400 bucks right now.

All you have to do is come sailaway.com.

Just go there now.

Come sailaway.com.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

And I have to tell you, I spent the weekend

loving America.

I know it was popular in the press to hate America for some reason all weekend long, but I actually enjoyed America.

And then I went to New York.

We'll give you the full details on how great things really are

and

maybe something that will give us perspective on our freedom in 60 seconds.

This is the Glenbeck program.

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

So, mortgage rates have fallen so low right now, millions of homeowners might benefit from refinancing.

That might be you.

Even if you bought a home last year, if you're in a variable rate loan, you should convert it right now to a fixed rate.

We may never see rates go this low again.

And even if you've converted over to a fixed rate and it goes to zero, okay, then just refinance then.

But you do not want these rates to go up on you.

If you have rates going up, I mean,

you could lose your home.

Most people don't think about this because, you know, we're just living for the moment, or you remember and you're like, hey, I should get a variable loan to a fixed loan.

And then you don't do it.

And then the rate

is raised and you start to feel the pain.

Right now, with the rates as low as they are, please convert your fixed, your variable loan to a fixed loan.

And if you have a lot of credit card bills, please consider a refi and pay all of those bills off and don't get yourself back into debt.

Now is the time to prepare for the future so you're in a really

financially stable position.

All you have to do now is go to AmericanFinancing.net.

That's AmericanFinancing.net, or you can call 800-906-2440.

It's AmericanFinancing.net.

Freedom.

Freedom usually begins as a whisper.

Freedom.

It's a secret pass between patrons at a secluded bar or a private meeting, maybe in a basement.

Freedom.

No matter how hard the tyrants may try to stop it, no matter how many dams they throw up to try to contain it, the whispers usually become a flood.

And sometimes it takes longer to break through.

Sometimes it'll take millions of lives lost.

But it is the same every time.

Liberty and freedom win.

It's like life.

Life has a way of staying alive.

It's an unstoppable force that knows no immovable object.

Now for us, it was 243 years ago, 12 score and three years ago to this month, that those whispers became a flood, a group of colonialists on the world's only superpower.

They took on that superpower and won.

Our forefathers proved it.

Freedom refuses to recognize tyranny as an immovable object, and the world was forever changed.

I can't help but see the poetic justice as more whisperers become a flood, defying their own immovable object.

Just three days before all of us were buying fireworks to celebrate our Independence Day, something was happening just off the coast of mainland China.

Last week, in case you weren't paying attention, a million protesters filled the streets in Hong Kong, literally a flood of humans looking for their freedom.

They stormed the government building that is the equivalent of their Congress.

They smashed windows, broke down doors.

And then there was a photo that was taken.

I don't know if you saw it, but it should be the picture of the year.

It was a British colonial flag, a symbol thrown out when Hong Kong was given back to China.

But But it was draped by the protesters over the chair of the head of their government.

Think of that.

Think of a.

Think of an Antifa flag over the chair of the White House.

How shocking that would be.

This

is a colonial flag.

The people of Hong Kong with a population that is over 90% ethnic Han Chinese, which is the right kind of Chinese, I hear.

They're saying to the mainland that they prefer the colonial rule over the tyranny of the Chinese government.

Leftists will tell you now that communism is a remedy for colonialism.

But for those living in the dark shadows of communism, they actually prefer colonial rule over what they now face.

Think of that.

When Hong Kong was given back to the mainland, China agreed to allow them

a few freedoms that the rest of the Chinese don't ever enjoy.

They're free to engage in protest against the government.

They maintain a legislative body, both of which are outlawed on the mainland.

But as every oppressor always does,

China has been looking to reel that back in.

Most recently, China attempted to make it possible to extradite the dissenters back to Beijing.

That spooked everybody in Hong Kong and the quiet whispers of freedom, the secrets told in private at clandestine meetings became a flood, a flood of millions in the streets.

So the night before we were lighting fireworks here, the police began a crackdown.

More than 13 people have been arrested so far.

13 colonies, 13 arrests.

China, if they eventually get their way, those 13 people will no doubt be the first of many to be extradited over to the mainland.

Their crime is that they believe they should be free.

As of right now, their extradition has been temporarily delayed.

The local Hong Kong government is caught between the immovable object of the Chinese communist government and the unstoppable force of liberty.

But all we have to do is really look at history.

We'll see who wins in the end.

Yesterday, over 200,000 protesters gathered at a high-speed train station that links mainland China to Hong Kong.

The message was just as clear as the British colonial flag hung inside of their legislative building.

We had the Gadson flag, the phrase, death to tyranny.

China, the message is simple, we will not be ruled.

Freedom knows no immovable object.

News of the protest movement has been censored in mainland China, but how long will they be able to contain their own whispers?

With over 200,000 freedom lovers camped out on a bridge between Hong Hong Kong and mainland China?

How long before those whispers spread to secret meeting locations in Beijing or Shanghai?

How long before that cascades to the Christian and the Muslim minorities that are tired of being rounded up and thrown up into camps?

Or is there digital security?

A new immovable object.

We might have just witnessed the Chinese version of the Boston Tea Party.

July 4th is still a long way away for them, but as it does time and time again, freedom and liberty always win in the end.

All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about our sponsor this half hour, and then I want to talk to you about what makes America so great.

I mean, some things that maybe we should talk about instead of just tearing our country apart.

Now,

you would never send your tax return on a postcard to the IRS, mainly because, well, mainly because it would be far too simple if we could send it on a postcard.

But also, you wouldn't want all of your stuff exposed.

But that's what we do when we use public Wi-Fi, even if it's password protected.

That's, I mean, it's open as a postcard.

This is what Google is doing to you.

This is what Facebook is doing to you.

They're tracking you anyway.

How much information do they have that belongs to you about you?

Let's pause for 10 seconds, station ID.

Welcome to the program.

We welcome to the co-pilot seat, Mr.

Pat Gray.

Hello, Pat.

Glenn.

How are you?

Oh, I'm almost perfect.

Really?

Yeah, very close.

That's great.

Because

we have a lot of listeners that were very concerned about your health last week.

I know.

It was really nice.

And, you know, thanks to everybody for their thoughts and prayers.

The surgery went really well.

It helped a lot.

Helped a lot.

Fact is, I knew you had another two or three, probably.

Yeah, so you had

four vertebrae fused together?

Yeah, I had,

I'm not sure all the things he did, but it was a disc dyskectomy and fusion.

Yeah.

So

they take out discs that are pinching nerves, and then they put in a plate and screws and jam it all down there somehow.

I don't know how that works.

Is it just me or you the luckiest, luckiest man on the earth, earth, earth, today?

I just thought i heard a little echo there as you were talking about your oh your health health health health

um so uh uh so it's good to have you back pat and uh thank you and good to be back what how was your weekend your independence day it was pretty quiet well until uh our entire uh church showed up we we hosted the ward uh

fourth of july party um and that was what five days after my surgery so it was really quiet until uh like 120 people showed up at my house.

Yeah.

That's really nice.

You know, there's nothing better.

There's really nothing better than having 120 people show up to your house right after surgery.

Right.

Exactly.

That's what I thought.

That's what I thought.

And that's what I told my wife.

This is the best thing you could have done right now.

This is great.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Right.

My wife was so pissed at me because we were leaving to go to New York on July 5th in the morning.

And

I had suggested that, you know, maybe

we have the family over and a couple of friends.

And

it didn't go well with my wife.

It didn't go well.

I'll bet it didn't.

She was like,

oh, okay.

And then what?

I could stay up all night and pack.

And I'm like, well, I guess.

I mean, if that's what you want to do.

It's up to you.

It's up to you.

Plan ahead a little bit.

Yeah.

So I went to, so we're traveling to New York, which is always delightful.

And

we get to New York, and I'm here in New York for,

not kidding, could not have been longer than five minutes.

And this guy comes up to me in the airport, and he's like, how come you're supporting Donald Trump?

How could you possibly do that?

And I'm like, I think you, I, I,

I, I don't know if you listen to the show, but that's not usually the complaint I get.

Right.

And

yeah.

And he said,

you're supporting a dictator.

And I said, well, thank you very much.

I appreciate meeting you.

It's been very nice.

And

he says, you know, eat crap.

He didn't use the word crap.

And then he walked away.

And

I thought,

he may work for the Board of Tourism for New York.

That may be the greeting that everybody gets

when you land in New York.

So it was,

you know, it was very nice.

And

then

I'm taking my daughters out because

I started a tradition, as you know, Pat, when they were very little.

I would take them to a Broadway show, each of them,

and I would take them out on a father-daughter date.

And

guys, don't be careful when you are starting traditions because they never end, apparently.

And so

they said to me when they were like six or seven that they wanted me to get all dressed up and

wear a black tie.

And so I.

Which is what people don't do anymore.

What don't do anymore.

Yeah.

I mean, back in the 80s, when you went to a Broadway show, you know, you could wear a black tie because on a Friday or a Saturday night, a lot of people wore a black tie

going to a Broadway show.

Nobody does now.

I think as long as you're wearing just underpants,

that's about enough.

Yeah, that's right.

It seriously is.

When you see them lined up outside the theater,

and we used to all the time, it's like you're going to a cinema.

It's not a dress-up thing anymore.

Yeah, so it's not.

And so

I feel very out of place.

Usually I'm asked, you know, can you help me to my seat?

And I'm like, no.

But I noticed this year, not even the ushers are wearing ties okay nobody is wearing a tie let alone a black tie so Saturday I went out with my my granddaughter because it somehow or another has now slipped into the next generation wow that grandpa gets to do to do that and it was about oh I don't know a thousand degrees a thousand percent humidity and uh and it smells delightful here and I just I kept thinking to myself,

you know, I love New York.

Just doesn't say what's in my heart.

You know, it's just, I don't know if you could print a t-shirt, what's in my heart, but it just doesn't really say it all.

So,

gentlemen, just

remember, anything you start with your daughters, you have to finish.

And that ends at your death.

I'd let you know.

It's a happy thought.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Obviously, you're enjoying it,

loving it, going into the

second and third generation now.

Yeah.

Now, so I have

five nights that I have to.

Yeah.

I have

Cheyenne and

Hannah and Lorelei and Mary and then my wife.

And then my daughter is performing at Carnegie Hall on Friday.

Oh, wow.

And yeah,

who would have guessed that

a Beck is at Carnegie Hall?

But

so

I'm going to that.

So every night I get to wear a tuxedo.

It just doesn't get.

Does that have to remain part of the tradition or couldn't you go in a pair of jeans?

I asked.

Oh, really?

I asked.

Yeah, I wouldn't.

And then

I got the.

Oh.

Oh.

Well, I guess you could.

You wanted to completely

if that's what you want to do, I mean, oh, okay.

Well, no, Dad, it's not a problem.

Okay.

Well, I mean, I just brought, you know, I just brought with me like, you know, a really nice.

It doesn't really go with a suit.

Okay, well, it could.

Have you seen everybody else dressed?

I mean,

you know, they're not even wearing shoes.

They're not wearing shoes anymore.

So, and then we went to Frozen, which

I can't take the amount of diversity.

Okay.

I just, I can't take it.

I can't take it.

I mean, it's one thing to be colorblind and okay, whatever.

But there's another thing about a story that happens in, I don't know, Scandinavia.

The king's not black in Scandinavia, especially if he has two very white daughters.

It's just not happening.

What is it with the

Olaf was a girl?

Yeah, Olaf was a girl.

The king was black.

There was something else that was

well, doesn't it?

I think it was just that I kept thinking that they were going to have what's her name that sings Let It Go come out, you know, because they're talking now about the next movie that she's going to come out as gay, as lesbian and i'm like i

i i just can't take it i just can't take it

so have they already established that if olaf is a girl because isn't olaf the romantic interest of one of the two like girls right in the kingdom the two princes manic interest no olaf is the snowman oh okay i was thinking olaf who's who's the guy then the you know the reindeer yeah the reindeer guy reindeer guy okay yeah the reindeer guy i don't remember remember.

It's been a while since I've seen Frozen.

Yeah.

So, yeah.

Yeah.

He was black, which made me think, ah, she's marrying her dad.

You know, all the girls don't marry their dad, so she's marrying her dad.

Maybe that was it.

Maybe that was it.

I just, it is amazing how far they've bent over backward for in the, in the, in the name of diversity, it has to be, whether it works or not, you know,

they have to change everything.

No, it doesn't matter.

Right.

And it really doesn't, it really doesn't matter.

If you were watching something else where, you know,

it wasn't set in Scandinavia.

Right.

Why is it set in Scandinavia?

Then with Mary, I went to see another show where they were doing the four tops and I don't know, the OJs or somebody on it.

It was the Carol King show.

And they were all black.

And I was like, why isn't the lead singer white?

Right.

Or Asian.

What?

No Asians in this play?

The four tops.

You can't have an Asian.

Okay, I get it.

Racists.

Back in just a minute.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Pat Gray is filling in for Stu Today.

I'm in New York City in our studios in New York.

We're

thrilled to be here.

And no, no, no.

Seriously, I mean that.

It's thrilling to.

to be back in New York.

There's a couple of things that happened over the weekend politically.

Harris has now said that she's going to give an extra $100 billion to help minorities buy houses.

Wasn't that what got us into this jam in the first place in 2008?

That was a big part of it.

I think it was.

A big part of it.

Yeah.

Vannie May, Freddie Mac, all of that.

Yeah.

They had passed a bunch of bills and they said to the banking system, hey, if you give minorities loans for houses, no money down, etc., etc., we'll allow you to expand your bank.

And so they did.

And people couldn't afford their houses.

And then when the price of oil went up,

gee, look what happened.

Everybody lost their house.

Just saying.

Joe Biden also this weekend apologized for his seg his segregation comment where he said, you know, I work with segregationists and

I still had dinner with them.

You know, we can disagree, but we

well, when he was asked about that the first time, if he was going to apologize, he said, Apologize for what?

Now, 17 days later, in what seems like a year and a half, 17 days later, Joe Biden did apologize over the weekend.

He said it took him so long because this was his first opportunity to address it.

That is insane.

Yeah.

It's because he couldn't withstand the bombardment any longer.

It's been so bad that he's now tied with Kamala Harris in some polls.

And so, yeah, he had to apologize and he wasn't going to.

Now, to me, it is ludicrous that he's apologizing.

He didn't say anything wrong, really.

I mean, I don't like to defend Joe Biden, but what did he say other than, hey, we voted with people we didn't even like at one time.

So he's not saying they're great people.

He's not saying they're not racists.

But you know what?

You know,

he was saying, didn't he say that we'd go out to dinner afterwards?

I mean,

he was kind of implying that it was like, you know, we could disagree on, you know, basic things like, hey, blacks are people.

And

we could still be friends and have dinner together.

I don't know.

But

even if it was innocent, I say good that he had to backtrack on this because this is the world they on the left have created.

Now, they made this bed, now they get to lie in it.

For anybody who thinks he's going to be, you know, he's not going to throw in with the socialists because he's just an old-style Democrat.

No, well, first of all, he's the most liberal Democrat that Barack Obama could find.

And he is old-style.

But as you see, they'll make even the strongest people bend.

They're not, I mean, the only ones they haven't made bend is Donald Trump, really.

Yeah.

Donald Trump's the only politician I haven't seen bend to political correctness.

And I don't think he's going to.

And again, that's a really big part of his appeal.

That's why, you know, Republicans love him so much, because he will stand up to all of this nonsense.

He'll take the slings and arrows and just shoot them right back.

Warren also had an executive order.

You know, before I move on to Warren, do we happen to have the audio of Joe Biden saying this?

Yeah, let's play that.

To somehow give the impression to people that I was praising those men who I successfully opposed time and again.

Yes, I was.

I regret it.

I'm sorry for any pain or misconception

they may have caused anybody.

Wow.

Here's the amazing thing, though.

That won't mean a thing to the left.

They don't care.

They don't care that he apologized.

Apologizing means nothing to them.

They'll still attack him like Piranha.

Well,

did you see the riots in Washington, D.C.?

Did you see the way Antifa was going off on Washington, D.C.

over this weekend?

Did you miss all that?

I did.

Yeah, I missed all that.

Oh, wow.

Guess you had to, you know.

turn off the news and actually look for some actual reporting online to see it.

Maybe they weren't covering it, but Antifa

went to the, what was it, the Proud Boys March or something.

And they were looking.

Yeah, they were looking for

trouble and seeing that they.

They found a little bit of it.

Yeah, but they didn't find it really with the Proud Boys, I don't think.

I think the Proud Boys, you know, there was the Antifa, there were so many more Antifa than Proud Boys

that

they decided, you know what, it's kind of pathetic to pick on those guys.

I think that's what their attitude was.

And they went and they instead were dragging newspaper,

what do you call those things?

You know, the newspaper boxes.

They were dragging those and destroying those, which shows again why the press just loves Antifa, because they love the press.

And then they were fighting with police, and

it was quite nice.

It was quite nice.

And the press

still is making excuses for them.

Good luck with that, guys.

Good luck.

Now, Warren has also said that she's going to do an executive order to address the mythical race and gender pay gap,

which I think is

wonderful because then there will be a pay gap that will be a gender gap, but it will be in favor of women, not in the favor of men, because there is no pay gap.

None.

Thus, the mythical part of that.

Thank you, Pat, for pointing that out.

You're welcome.

Yeah.

Appreciate that.

Well, and it's been disproven how many times by even the Washington Post.

It's not like it's only Republicans or only conservatives that talk about that.

The Washington Post has done repeated pieces on that to show you're comparing apples to oranges.

Stop it.

It doesn't work.

There is no gap like that.

There's no 17% gap in the pay wage between the two genders.

So, did you see the latest polls?

And I'm going to get into this next hour on the things that we should probably know about America that are actually kind of pretty good.

But did you see the latest polls on Donald Trump?

Yeah, that his.

Well, are you talking about the ABC Washington Post poll?

Yeah,

yeah.

It shows that

Donald Trump had his highest ratings

that he has had.

He has now 47% approval rating, which is significant because at this time in his presidency, Barack Obama had a 46% approval rating, and he won.

I just thought I'd throw that in there.

He won.

George Bush, but you have to remember,

had we gone into Iraq?

Or were we just about to go into Iraq at the end of George Bush's first term?

Do you remember?

No, we'd been in Iraq already.

We'd been in Iraq.

And he had a 61% approval rating.

But Barack Obama, 46%, Donald Trump higher by one point

than Barack Obama at the end of his first term.

They show that Biden will beat Trump 51-43.

Warren, Sanders, and Kamala Harris will beat Trump 51-43.

But here's the interesting thing.

If he goes head-to-head with a socialist, it's 46.46.

Now,

I thought you just said Warren Sanders and Kamala Harris, it would win 51.43.

But if he goes head-to-head with a socialist, what the hell are they if they're not socialists?

I mean, that shows how out of touch people are and how out of touch the mainstream media or how bad of a job the mainstream media is doing.

Warren Sanders and Harris

are not considered to be socialists.

Yeah, and one of them fully admits he's a socialist and they're still not qualifying him as a socialist.

Right.

And at least one of them is out socializing the socialists.

I mean, Warren is going further than Bernie Sanders.

And in some cases, I believe Kamala Harris

is as well.

You believe these polls?

I don't believe for a second that Warren, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris defeat Trump.

If the election were even if it were held today, I don't think there's any way they beat Trump.

I don't think Biden would either.

And so I don't know where they're coming up with this.

I don't know if it's because

they're not surveying likely voters.

likely registered voters, or if it's just registered voters they're surveying, because there's something wrong with this i'm really super cautious on this because i don't want to dismiss the polls because as we learned from stu after the election the last election the the polls were very very accurate it they where they got it wrong was in the electoral college and so i hate to dismiss the the the polls here but i do think

i i do think they're

i mean i do think they're wrong i do too my gut says to dismiss them um but i don't know if that's wishful thinking or what it is.

But

next hour I'm going to go into

what's really happening in the country.

And as I was putting those stats together, I thought, hmm, it just doesn't seem like

America, they either don't feel this recovery, they don't feel what's really going on, or

these polls are wrong.

But it's one of the two.

Either America has been convinced that we are in dire straits, and there's no difference except bad differences between now and Obama, that they're willing just to throw all of this away.

They either don't feel it or have been misinformed so much they do believe the press over the facts and the reality in front of themselves,

or these poll numbers are wrong.

And you'll have to decide, and we'll do that next hour.

So you will have a real estate agent that you trust.

They have to have a high sense of urgency.

They respond to every inquiry within minutes.

I mean, unless it's like three o'clock in the morning.

Usually you'll get it about five minutes, never more than an hour.

Show professional conduct at all times.

They return calls.

They have to say what they have to do, what they say they would do.

If they shake a hand on something, that is a deal.

They're experts also at properly evaluating the value of the homes in their market.

And they have to live, the truth lives here.

It's a creed of mine in my companies.

And with their long track record of performance and success,

they have to represent the truth.

I was really disappointed.

I was on my way to Detroit this weekend to go to Afro Future.

Oh, YouTube?

Wow.

Oh, were you going to?

Of course.

I never miss it.

And then I found out that they were charging white people double the admission.

Yeah.

And

yeah.

So I couldn't afford to go.

Well, it's 20 bucks.

I know, I know, I know.

For the Afro Future Fest.

Did you read the description, Pat, before you tried to buy your tickets?

No, I didn't have to because

you just knew you had to be there.

Yeah.

So I read the description.

Afro Future Fest, immersive, intimate, and intentional spacekeeping for Afro-black futurist.

Obviously.

Just think of that.

What does that even mean?

A 360 transformative dreamscape centering Detroit's black magic performers and artisans with community.

I love it, man.

I love it.

That sentence also does not even make sense.

Essence Fest meets Afro-punk, intersecting narratives, co-creating the future necessary for black thriving.

I don't think that makes sense.

I'm trying to make sense of each of the...

None of these sentences are complete.

Energy sourcing from the Wakanda that is Detroit.

Our destination is reimagination-aligned makers and shakers in

Collective liberation.

Now, seven generations past the transatlantic slave trade, black spirits are in synergetic healing.

The donation-based landscape of freedom, freedom, sorry, fedom, freedom is a home to black Detroit, anchoring the accessibility needed for its community.

That sounds like fun.

It's powerful.

I mean, if that's, you know, they say, can you do it in an elevator pitch?

When somebody was in the elevator and they said, I have an idea for Afro Future, and they spilled that out, you were like, I'm in.

Yeah.

How much?

Yeah, absolutely.

Well, we're going to charge white people twice as much, and then you're really in.

I think you're really, really committed at that point.

Right.

My hat's off, though, to Tiny Jag.

Probably, you know, one of my favorite, one of my favorite rappers.

Tiny Jag.

Actually left the festival because it was twice as much for white people as blacks.

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Really?

So, really.

And solidarity.

I want to know who was trying to get in that was white.

Because I don't, I mean, that's like, that's like, you know,

what would the line be like of African Americans going to, hey, we've got a revolutionary war reenact, reenactment, and Barry Manilow is going to be playing polka music there.

I mean,

I think that's even too white for most white people.

All right, back in a second with the truth on America and Donald Trump and the election coming up.

The fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

So this weekend,

I wanted to look at America, who we really are.

And who we really are are the people.

The people are different than what we're seeing in the press or Twitter or Facebook.

But also, the people's financial health is also better than what I think people recognize.

And I want to talk about that because we're at a crossroads.

Are we going to turn back

and go to the the policies of the past of Barack Obama and worse or are we gonna continue to chart a new course forward

that we'll talk about in 60 seconds this is the Glenbeck program

sitting in an X chair uh makes me realize I travel too much.

I'm up this weekend or this week now in our studios in New York City, and this is not an X-Chair.

One of those

fancy chairs, one of them nice fancy chairs.

There was a

best chair ever made for an office.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.

How do I know?

Because I bought a bunch of them and they suck.

So the X-Chair,

I tried it out, tried it myself, didn't take anybody else's word for it.

Actually used it.

30-day money-back guarantee.

I love it.

I love the X-Chair.

It is as comfortable as they say it is.

And you'll have to find out if it's as comfortable as I say it is.

Just try it out.

I don't think I do an adequate job in describing it.

I don't know how to describe it.

It's just the best chair I've ever sat in.

And

I compare it to the best office chair and the best recliner I've ever sat in.

It's both of those things.

It's amazing.

And it has like 10 or 11 or 15.

I don't even know how many different adjustments it has, but it'll adjust right to your body and the way you like it.

So I have been wondering, and I'm actually meeting with some people, I think, tonight, some financial gurus here in New York,

to talk a little bit about the economy and

what's happening.

Why we're not seeing inflation.

Now, we are seeing inflation in the stock market, I believe.

You know, the people who really have access to, you know,

zero interest loans or very, very close to zero are these these big financial institutions, and

they're lending that out to big corporations, and big corporations are taking, and they're buying all of

their stock back, which I guess is a good thing, shows that they believe that their company is going to do well.

But that's where the inflation is really centered.

We're not seeing inflation anywhere else.

So I've been trying to figure out why.

So, how inflation happens is it's too much money chasing too few of goods, but it's really caused by the velocity of money.

How many times that dollar after it's printed is spent by the number of people that that dollar passes through before it goes back to be replaced.

Okay, so before it leaves the treasury until it comes back to the treasury.

How many times?

And we have a velocity rate of maybe one or two, which means it goes into one person's hand from the bank, and then they keep it for a while and then it goes to another person and they keep it for a while and then it goes back to the treasury.

That's very low.

We're at historic lows of velocity.

Usually it'll go through one person and then they'll spend it, you know, at some store and then that store will go and buy new products with that dollar and then that dollar is used to pay the the employees that are making that product and then they take that dollar and then they spend it buying groceries and the grocer takes it and buys a movie that's velocity when it keeps going through once people start hanging on to it and say i got to hold on to this dollar then

there's uh

there's there's trouble with the economy not being able to move forward but we've got a couple of things going on and i'm trying to figure out why this is happening.

And one theory I'd like to share with you that I is really positive on the country and positive for our future, and that is think of the things that we used to have to buy that are now free.

So we're all, let's just, just take the iPhone.

The iPhone

has replaced so many things.

Now we complain, you know, that's an $800 phone.

Okay,

it is an $800 phone.

And that seems ridiculous.

However, it's not an $800 phone.

I want you to think about the things that you would have had to buy had this technology not been here.

For instance, you don't have to pay to read the news anymore.

Now, you can, if you want to read the New York Times or the Washington Post, you have to pay for it.

But generally speaking, you don't have to pay to read the news.

Where you used to have to buy a newspaper and a magazine.

You don't really have to

pay for even watching shows anymore to get the news or to get commentary.

You can get that usually on YouTube.

You don't have to buy a new TV.

You've got an unbelievable TV in your hands.

So, so far,

you haven't had to buy a newspaper.

You haven't had to buy a television if you didn't want to.

You don't have to buy books.

You can go and get books for free many places, many times.

You can borrow books or you can

use a very

inexpensive app that will allow you to borrow the books.

Same with music, same with movies.

Who's buying DVDs anymore?

not buying DVDs are you buying DVDs

so that DVD money velocity of money

the DVD when you buy it it's really going to Apple and then to Disney and that's it it's not going to a company that's making the DVDs it's not going to a store that has to sell the DVDs

Do you remember the days when we used to have to have GPS in our cars?

Well, look, first we stopped buying maps, and then we bought a really expensive GPS for our cars.

You don't have to have that anymore.

That's in your phone, too.

You don't have to, if you want to sell something, you don't have to buy a classified ad.

You can do that on your phone.

You no longer have to pay for long distance.

There's long distance service, and it's free.

Oh, by the way, a really good camera.

How much did a Nikon cost?

How much does a Canon cost?

Now, those are better cameras, but for the average person

You don't have to buy a camera.

You don't have to buy film.

You don't have to pay for film processing.

You don't have to pay for a photo album.

Think of all of the things down the line that you no longer have to you no longer have to buy.

You don't have to buy flash cubes.

You don't have to buy batteries

for your camera.

You don't have to buy a video camera because your camera is now a video camera, which is also your phone and your newspaper and your book and your television.

Think of how much is wrapped up in an $800 purchase.

When you think of an iPhone, you think that's expensive.

I'd like you just to consider for a minute what you're getting.

In that iPhone.

How much money,

and I know this is such a Glenn way of thinking of things, and I don't know if anybody else does this, but I've done this my whole life.

Think of the money we're saving, honey.

It's $800.

I know, but think of the money.

But I think this one actually works.

Think of the money you're saving.

Now, also think about the number of stores that have gone out of business because this one device has taken away most of all of those things.

It collapsed Kodak.

So we're able to, while we're spending more, we're spending it in fewer places.

While we're doing that,

let me just go over some of the financial numbers that we have now.

In the peak of 07,

so this is right before the crash.

In the peak, we had $83.4 trillion in total assets.

That's for all the general public: $83.4 trillion.

At our low, it was $71 trillion.

We now have, in assets, $124.7 trillion.

Now, those assets are 24% homes, 5% other tangibles, 9% deposits, 21% pension funds, and other financial assets.

I would imagine that's your maybe 401k, 41%.

our liabilities seven percent are auto loans student debt is ten percent

so we have debt uh debt payments as percentage of disposable income in nineteen eighty

we were spending on our debt payments 10.6 percent fourth quarter in 2007 right before the crash we were paying thirteen percent of our disposable income was going to debt Today it's at 9.9.

So it's the lowest since 1980.

That's not what you think of when you think of America.

You think of America going further and further in debt.

The household net worth third quarter in 2007 was $69,000.

Second quarter of Q19 is $110,000.

So we're saving more money.

We're worth more money.

We have more total assets and lower liabilities.

We are getting more for our buck

because we should total this up.

What would this cost you?

A newspaper a day?

Let's say five books a year people might read.

How many movies, music, GPS, the classified ads, the long-distance phone service, the camera, the video camera, the film processing, the computer, the calculator, all of these things that are now part of your phone.

How much would that have cost you?

So we're getting much more for less.

But now I want to compare just the last administration with this administration, and this is where it kind of turns political.

And is the answer to is Donald Trump going to win?

It will all come down to this, if people feel it.

So

the percentage of

higher income,

the percentage of growth into a higher income, okay, this is in Florida from Obama's last term to Trump's first nine quarters.

Okay, so comparing, trying to compare apples to apples, his term isn't over, but trying to compare apples to apples.

What was Obama doing compared to what is Trump doing?

In Florida, the growth into a higher income was 2.5%.

Now it's 3.4.

Indiana, 2.6.

Now, 3.3.

Iowa, 1.6.

to now 3.1.

Ohio, 2.4 to 3.4.

Philadelphia or Pennsylvania, 2.6 to 3.6%.

Michigan's the only one that went the other direction, 3.2 versus 3.0.

Wisconsin, 2.1 versus 3.6.

Nevada, 2.5 versus 4.3.

So people are making more money.

The hourly wage growth has gone up.

In all sectors, in mining,

less than 1% with Obama.

Today, 3.8% hourly wage growth.

Construction, 2.1 to Trump's 3.5%.

Anybody working in manufacturing, 1.9 to 2.8.

Private services, 2.2 to 3.0.

Retail, 2.2 to 3.6.

Transportation, 1.8, 3.3.

Leisure and hospitality, 3.1 to 4.5.

So in other words, what I'm saying here is we're spending less, we're getting more.

We're saving more,

we have more.

And with the jobs,

more boats are being lifted.

Now,

I don't think Washington nor New York will see this.

It will be the forgotten man, the one who voted for Trump in the first place.

He's doing better.

The question is, Will they recognize that or will the media brainwash them so much that they will dismiss how well things are actually going right now?

All right, our sponsor this half hour is Relief Factor.

If you are in pain, I get it.

I have been in pain, and there's nothing that helps me more than Relief Factor.

We pause for 10 seconds.

Station ID.

So here's what we

Here's what we have with Donald Trump in the latest polls.

These are the ABC Washington Post polls.

It It shows that he has a 47% approval rating.

That is up from Obama at this same time period, who had a 46% approval rating.

And remember, we kept saying he's so unpopular.

He's got to lose.

Well, he's got a machine.

He's got a machine.

Yeah, but he's 46%

disapproval.

Well,

Donald Trump, believe it or not, is one point more popular than Obama was.

Think of that.

Think of that.

Now let's remember that he won

his next election.

51% now say that Trump is good for the economy.

That's amazing to me because almost everybody has been affected by this economy.

So I don't know how others are thinking that he's not good for the economy.

But 51% say that he's good for the economy.

If that holds or goes up,

I think he has a sure ticket into the Oval Office the next time around.

And I'm not sure.

Pat, do you think that people

are willing to say in a poll where they stand?

That's

kind of where I'm a little confused right now.

I don't know if it's that or if the Democrats are doing such a thorough job of class warfare.

All they talk about is how only the rich are doing well in this economy.

Are they convincing people that they're not doing well when they are?

It's possible, I think.

That's all they hammer, and they hammer it repeatedly.

All of them, every single candidate keeps repeating the same old line.

Even when the media will break down and say, well,

the president does really well

in the economy.

And well, yeah, sure, with the wealthiest Americans, with the richest 1%,

those are the only ones benefiting.

So they're playing that Marxist card every single time the economy comes up.

So I don't know if that's what's taking hold

or if the polls are flawed.

We just have such a

screwed-up version of success

and

welfare,

how we're doing as a country,

what our lives should be like.

I mean, I think people are going to be so shocked if they would vote for a socialist on how fast this thing falls apart.

Oh, I mean, you know, how fast it'll be.

Did you see what Venezuela, they came out, the UN came out this weekend and said Venezuela has been killing people by the thousands, and they're just political enemies.

They're just anybody who stood up against the government or disagrees with the government's positions.

They are, they're killing them.

They say the UN says, I think it's 5,000, but they said it could be much, much higher.

Some estimates are as high as 9,000.

Just in the last couple of months, they're just slaughtering people.

What a surprise.

It's their political enemies.

And we're headed in the same direction.

It's got to stop.

More in just a second.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

We have a new sponsor, and I am thrilled to have Take of Us on with us.

They make great boots that are at a price that you just can't beat.

I mean, really can't beat.

Here in Texas, boots are like crazy.

They're really, they're either crap or they're crazy expensive.

And when I say crazy expensive, I mean, I've gone in and I've been like, hey, how much are these boots?

And they're like, oh, well, those are $3,000.

What?

That's crazy.

And then you hit crap.

Well, no, how about we do something different?

How about you give us really good boots at an affordable price?

Well,

Tocovis has come up with a way to sell directly to you.

So they sell directly to the customers.

Their boots are half the price of similar quality boots.

No retailers means no unnecessary

markup.

They are really great.

They're timeless quality.

They're handmade with high-quality, full-grain leathers, world-class boot makers.

You've got to go and see them now at

tacovis.com/slash Beck.

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

Hey,

I've never done this before.

I don't think in,

I don't think ever,

where I have so badly botched a commercial, I will feel guilty the rest of the day if I don't correct this.

To Covis is

a new sponsor today.

I just did their commercial and it was awful.

And

it was because I was time-pressed, and it was new.

And I like to spend more time with a new sponsor.

This is a

boot company, but it's better than a boot company.

It makes jeans, it makes belts, leatherware, wallets, everything.

They are based in Texas.

And it's a couple of guys that started this that were like, just like me.

And I think, Pat, when you got down here, I mean, boots are so expensive.

Yeah.

And if, I mean, I don't know who wears the

boots, I guess.

They can go up to 10.

Oh, I know they can.

Yeah.

I know they can.

Or more.

And they, you know, who wears those?

I don't know where you wear them.

Or, I mean, getting outside of the limousine.

I don't know where you would wear those, but people do wear them in Texas.

But the average person, you're either buying really bad stuff or you're,

you know, or

you're having to be, you know, forced into something that you just can't afford.

These people make really good handmade boots, and I just wanted to apologize to them for such a horrible commercial and welcome them to the family.

I wear their jeans.

I wear their boots.

I think

I'm wearing their belt today.

And this is a client that I wanted on the air because I think they're really, really good.

Again, started by two guys who just think Americans can do really great quality and find ways to make it affordable

for everybody.

So it's T-E-C-O-V-A-S

to covas.com/slash back.

All right, Pat,

the question that I have to ask that I think the New York Times is really is is

really reflecting most Americans when they ask this question.

Do Americans need air conditioning?

If they want to survive, yeah.

If you live in Texas, you know the answer to that question.

Well, you live anywhere in the South.

There's a reason why the South

was sparsely populated for a long time.

Right.

Because there was no air conditioning.

Eight people lived in Houston, Texas until about 1956.

Yeah, nobody did.

Nobody did.

You wouldn't.

I was

out this summer in Texas.

Where was I?

And I was only outside for maybe an hour and a half.

And I was,

who lived here?

Yeah.

Nobody lived here.

It's not.

And it was the same way, pretty much all over the south.

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and I got news for you.

Pacific Northwest, we could have done without air conditioning.

I did my whole life growing up.

And yes, there were a few sleepless nights where you needed a fan

in the summertime that were really toss and turn that you could have used air conditioning.

For the most part, you open a window.

They're not even flies in the Pacific Northwest, for the love of Pete.

It's like that in Montana, too.

Nobody has air conditioning in Montana.

Nobody has it.

Nobody.

Now, in New York, it's a different story.

And that's, you know, that's pretty far north, too.

But you get those hot, humid days.

You can't do without air conditioning, even in New York.

So it's not just a southern thing.

But if you, I mean, if you live in Iceland, yeah, you're going to say, okay, yeah, I don't need air conditioning.

Tri-Africa.

Right.

Tri-Africa.

Okay.

So, but the New York Times would like to say, on an overheated planet,

air conditioning becomes more and more desirable, solving the short-term problem it's helped create.

So air conditioning is the reason why the planet is getting hotter.

And the more we use air conditioning, the hotter it's going to get.

Fire,

they say, made us human.

But does air conditioning make us less so?

No.

No.

No.

Makes us much more so.

Yeah.

I can control both environments.

Are you kidding me?

Doesn't that say something about a species?

Yeah, I don't think monkeys control the environment.

I don't think so.

I know.

I'm trying to check out the lion who was like, hey, I got to call the air conditioning guy.

I'm wearing this fur coat around my neck the whole time, and I'm boiling up.

I need to call the air conditioning lion.

Now, they go on.

Think about the term air conditioning,

says the culture critic at the Boston Globe, who suffers at work and does without at home.

Do you really want to condition your air?

Yes, yes, I do.

Your skin, maybe, or your hair.

I'm a vegetarian, but I didn't become one for any specific reason.

It just happened.

But there are all sorts of ex post facto good reasons for not eating meat.

Same with AC.

If you just modify your actions, it's good for the planet.

It's good for everyone.

Oh, shut up.

You know why?

There is no good reason to get rid of air conditioning.

I was just last night we were in Chinatown.

Have you smelled Chinatown in the summer in New York?

You get the nice

urine, vomit, you know,

smell coming up from the subway

right into the dead, stinky fish.

Oh my gosh.

And dinner bell is ringing now.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

No, it was, I mean, I could have, I could have been confused for a bulimic yesterday.

I was so close to barfing the whole time I was in.

But I managed to get through it by going into a nice air-conditioned restaurant and eating stuff that didn't smell like it was rotting next to a bunch of people who didn't smell like bad BO.

No, I don't want to live that way.

You know,

we've made progress.

The New York Times would like to let us know that overcooling

is using conventional AC

to its extreme and it's like extreme dieting, removing calories without improving nutrition.

One ends up installing heaters in the summer in office spaces that do not enable local temperature control.

The quintessential sugar rush.

Air conditioning.

Listen to this.

Air conditioning demystifies nature's miracles.

What?

What?

What is one of nature's miracles?

That it's boiling hot outside?

That's not a nature miracle.

I'm not mystified by it.

It's summer.

It's summer.

I live in a part that's closest to the equator, which is then getting directly, the direct sunlight from the sun, that big flaming nuclear explosion in the sky.

I don't know how mystical it really is.

It contributes to a culture characterized by disconnection and overconsumption.

What are we?

Disconnected from what?

The heat?

Disconnected from

smelly people?

Yes.

There's an off-cited study published in nature.com that notes how building temperatures, once set to comfort preferences of the 1960s era men in suits, disregard the thermal comfort of the female staffers.

Oh.

Quote, air conditioning is sexist.

an engine of the patriarchy.

This is the freaking New York Times.

Building temperatures are largely controlled by building managers to industry standards that aim for the thermal comfort of 80% of a building's occupant, which means, of course, that 20% will be uncomfortable if not miserable.

Those standards are updated regularly by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers, which suggests that a building temperature range from 67 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit.

What building, except your mother's or your grandparents' house, is at 82 degrees?

I mean, that's a nursing home.

Yeah.

That's the only place is a nursing home.

My father-in-law comes down and he's had a stroke and he's got, I don't know, thin blood or what, I don't know what it is.

But he comes down.

He's literally wearing a sweater and a jacket outside in Dallas in the summer.

He can't come and visit us anymore.

I told Tanya.

He's got to stay at a hotel.

So he's got to stay, or he can just live in a tent outside and we can put some hot coals on the floor for him, too.

But he keeps it like at 85 degrees.

It's miserable.

Many offices, including those in the New York Times, set their thermostats to 74 to 76 degrees, which you would think would feel balmy.

Yet the other day, my colleagues were shivering in sweatshirts and sweaters.

Okay.

What?

Between 74 and 76 degrees.

They're shivering in sweatshirts and sweaters.

My colleagues, probably about 20% of them were shivering.

Oh,

kind of like what the industry standard is, that it's set for 80%,

meaning that 20% are going to be uncomfortable, in some cases, even miserable.

What are you talking about?

You're within the norm, New York Times.

But I guess suffering,

suffering, self-imposed suffering in my life because I'm a lapsed Catholic and an Irishman.

So I need a certain degree of self-imposed suffering in my life.

And I guess this air conditioning,

this air conditioning, is just one that qualifies as suffering.

Oh my God.

Pathetic.

They are right in step with the American people.

Do you remember how they made fun of Jimmy Carter when he said, you know, about sweaters?

You just have to wear a sweater.

Just set your air conditioner a little lower and wear a sweater

in the winter.

Yeah.

We're back to this.

Yeah, that's when we were being blamed for the energy crisis.

Yes.

Now we're being blamed for global warming.

And it's the same message:

have less, do less.

Don't have.

I am currently sitting in a studio in Manhattan that is 62 degrees, and I'm loving every second of it.

And if there's somewhere on earth a panda going,

oh, it's too hot.

Well, sucks to be a panda.

I like it 62 degrees in the summer.

So, are you looking for a perfect handgun for self-defense and days at the range?

I have some good news for you.

So,

Pat, am I the only one that's kind of sick of now, not all of them, I want to make clear, some of them are cool,

but the women's World Cup champions now, the American soccer team?

Yeah, some of them that are battling with President Trump.

No, no.

Have you seen the latest?

Now, the latest is today, the video of one of them holding the flag, kind of dragging it on the ground and then when they get their you know time to have a camera shot uh she just drops the flag on the ground between her legs and then she's you know they start mugging for the camera and celebrating and and now somebody from the soccer team immediately runs up behind her and picks it up off the ground which i commend that player uh but these I mean, is there nothing, nothing

yeah,

it's sad that they've made this equation, I guess, that the president is the country and they don't like the president, so

they're going to disparage the country.

It's really weird because Barack Obama was the president, and I loved the country.

And I even supported the country voting for Barack Obama, even though I thought he was awful.

He was the president of the United States, and I still

lived by that.

And

I still loved my country.

I still

prayed for him every night.

Right.

You know, I still, I still sang the national anthem.

I ref, you know, I, I mean, I don't get it.

I just don't get it.

I don't either.

And after, after the women, and by the way, it's great that they won the World Cup.

I'm, I'm really excited about that.

It's four times now.

That's more than any other country in the world.

Great.

So they beat Netherlands yesterday 2-0.

And then immediately after, Fox

went into a pub in Lyon, France, and there was a bunch of Americans there.

and so they thought they were going to do a really cool shoot and talk to some of the Americans.

Did you see what happened?

As soon as they started the live broadcast,

the idiots at the bar started chanting F.

Trump over and over and over on live TV because it was Fox, I'm sure.

And then they were smiling and laughing, so proud of themselves.

Yeah, nice representation of the country.

Thank you.

Well, if you're in France, you do as the French do, I guess.

You know,

and, you know, the French have loved everybody that

I just think is worthless, starting with Jerry Lewis.

And I actually have respect for,

I actually have respect for Jerry Lewis.

And,

you know, I like him, but, you know, to make him the world's most famous clown, I'm not sure that that was appropriate.

You know, not when there's Marcel Marcel.

No.

You know what I'm saying?

But America stinks on ice.

Where we just stink in our armpits and in our trotches.

People are supposed to.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

You can head to theblaze.com for more top stories.

I'm Hillary.

That's your four-minute buzz.

And now here's Glenn and Pat with the final hour of the show.

Thank you very much.

Just watching the new trailer for Brad Thor.

He's got a new book out called Backlash.

He is the New York Times best-selling author of 19 thrillers.

He is a good friend of mine, been a friend of the program for years.

He has just released his latest audiobook, Backlash.

It is a white-knuckle thrill ride, as all Brad Thor's books are.

My wife said to me, do I have to start at the beginning?

No, no, no.

You can pick up a Brad Thor novel, and you'll end up going back and reading all the other ones.

But it's like James Bond.

You can join any place.

He is known now around the world as the master of thrillers.

I think it was the New York Times that called him that.

Go to Bradthor.com.

The book is on the homepage.

It's really easy to find.

Watch the trailer.

Choose from a ton of different options to purchase, including on the CD.

But the audiobook is now available, rated five stars on Amazon.

Backlash, the latest from Brad Thor.

Download the audiobook today.

That's Bradthor.com.

Bradthor.com.

Well worth the time.

Always a great summer read.

Brad Thor.

All right.

Final hour of the radio program today from New York City.

We come back.

Well, apparently.

And enlightenment.

Apparently,

Starbucks just cannot get it down with the police.

This time they've asked police in Arizona to leave the Starbucks.

They've had to apologize right away.

And

in other kind of like-minded news, AOC is now,

she is now starting to quote Evita.

I don't know if she knows who Evita really was,

but she's now quoting her by name.

And she doesn't have a problem with the fascist

Evita Perrone.

I think that's

how appropriate they have fully taken off the masks.

She's now, quoting, a fascist dictator's wife.

So we'll get into that in about one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

The best thing about Tocovis boots is once you get a pair, They are at a price you cannot beat and they are so comfortable.

They are handmade.

You don't have to break them in.

They're real good, high-quality leather.

You don't have to break them in.

You don't have to think about price.

They are, again, made, handmade, high-quality, full-grain leathers by world-class bootmakers.

Each pair takes about 200 steps to make.

I love...

I love things that are handmade, but usually things that are handmade are really expensive.

These are not.

They are the dream of a couple of guys in Austin, Texas who thought there's got to be a way to make boots and make boots in a way that Americans have always loved, have always loved to wear, and they're not going to break your bank.

So there's something that you can wear every day if you wear boots every day, if you want to.

Shipping is free.

There's free returns always.

And ordering is risk-free and easy.

Your order will ship out of their warehouse within 24 hours of the order.

They are renowned for their customer service, satisfaction.

They always err on the side of the customers.

And boots aren't the only thing they make.

They also make leather bags, men's jeans, which I love.

The only jeans that I wear 1791 jeans.

I'll wear some Ralph Loren jeans and

Takovis jeans.

I really, really like their jeans.

You'll love everything they make.

They're great prices.

They can't be beat, timeless style that will complement yours.

Find your pair at Takeovus.

It is T-E-C-O-V-A-S,

takeovus.com.

Am I saying it wrong?

Takovis.

You know what the problem is?

I've got a Scottish guy that I work with who is always saying it wrong, and now I can't say it right.

Oh my gosh, Dacovis.

I gotta say it, you gotta say it like George Bush would say, Tacovis.

You see what I'm saying?

Tacovis.

Not like some Scottish freak.

The Covis.

Tacovis.com/slash Beck.

T-E-C-O-V-A-S.com.

Time to fire Craig.

It is time to fire Craig.

Oh, man.

I don't need to go into it.

Let's start with Starbucks.

Starbucks,

if you remember right, they took the side of

two

people

that were

staying at the Starbucks, sitting at the table and not ordering anything, and it was crowded.

And if I remember right,

they said,

you have to order.

They said no.

So the manager called police.

Police came, removed them because then they started getting hostile.

And then Starbucks turned against the police who they called.

Right.

Right?

Yep.

Now they've done it again in Arizona.

Yeah,

some Tempe police officers were forced to pick up their coffee cups and get out of the restaurant because

one person in the Starbucks went to an employee and said, I don't feel safe.

I don't feel safe because there's police officers in here.

I mean, wouldn't the natural reaction?

Yeah, wouldn't that be your natural reaction?

Are you wanted by the law?

What's your problem?

Quite honestly, unless you're mentally ill.

That could be.

Yes.

Okay.

If you're mentally ill.

Barring that, though, you've got no business doing this.

If you are living in,

I don't know,

you know, some southern town that just has not gotten past 1956 and you're black.

Or you're white.

That's not Tempe.

And you like black people.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

That's not Tempe.

That's not Tempe.

So you have to be so delusional and suffering from some sort of mental illness to think that you're unsafe with the cops in a public place.

That doesn't make any sense.

And you know, it's just the hysteria of guns.

They probably see the guns that the officers have

in their holsters, and they freak out.

Do you think so?

I think it could just as easily be just

the badge.

Or it might be.

Just the badge.

I mean, we've made police officers into such bad guys, especially on Tempe.

Isn't that where the university is located?

One of them.

It is.

Yeah.

So it's got, I bet it's a university student that is just like

this isn't a safe space.

Yes.

And so you're throwing police officers out because the customers don't feel safe.

All right.

Well, then when the place gets held up or somebody comes in and starts shooting, then what do you do?

Well, we don't want police officers in here because we won't feel safe.

Well, police officers will be what police officers are, and they will receive

every time.

For me, I would have a very hard time.

I would really, I mean, I would not be a good police officer.

I wouldn't either.

Good luck.

Because there would come a time to where I'd be like,

shut up.

Right.

Just shut

up.

And

12, one Adam 12, a 211 in progress in Tempe.

No.

Yeah, I'm not dueling it.

Call one Adam 13 because 12 ain't answering this call.

I would really.

That is how you would

feel.

And I do too.

You know, it's amazing if police don't do that.

Especially because they're risking their lives.

When you need them, you love them.

Remember how we all felt about every single police officer in the country after 9-11.

We couldn't get enough of these guys.

We loved them.

Now these same guys who showed us that when the going gets tough, they run in the building while we're running out of the building.

Now, those guys, oh, they're just oppressors.

They're horrible.

This is ridiculous.

It's just ridiculous.

It is, we've taken,

we've taken and blown everything out of proportion.

We have taken every good quality and assigned it to one group of people, and every bad quality, and assigned it to another group of people.

This is what gets people killed.

This is what happens with racism or

classism, that you start to put everybody into the same category.

Well, they're not.

There's some really good rich people.

There's some really good white people.

There are some really good black people.

There are some really good poor people.

There are some really good Chinese people.

Some really bad Chinese people.

What are you talking about?

There's everything because we're all human.

And when it all comes down to it, all of us are going to the same place.

Well, not all of us are going to the same place.

If you believe in hell, I don't happen to believe in hell, but if you believe in hell, it does make you feel good that not everybody's going to the same place.

Anyway,

the idea

that we somehow or another are different from each other.

When I mean as a group, is ridiculous.

Because they make us all exactly the same as a group, and yet they're at the same time telling us to celebrate our differences.

Well, wait a minute, I thought we were all the same as a group.

How does this even work?

None of this even makes sense anymore.

You used to be able to have it make some sort of sense, it doesn't.

It doesn't make sense.

Maybe it's just me.

I don't think so.

It's 2019.

That's kind of where we wind up every day on my show.

It's 2019.

The things that

are

everyday occurrences now, I couldn't have envisioned five years ago.

And I remember five years ago thinking, well, we've come a long way down the wrong road.

And look how much further we've traveled down that road than we were five years ago.

And it gets worse every day.

It just keeps compiling.

It's nuts.

Have you read, and I know I've talked about this for a long time, but you were glad when you read Garden of the Beasts, if I remember right.

Once you read it, you were happy you did.

Yes.

You have to read.

Shoot, it's not avoiding Hitler.

It's defying Hitler.

Defying Hitler.

It is.

Pat, I'm telling you, you will read it and you will see the exact pattern.

You know,

our museum was all about patterns.

Yeah.

And the only reason to look at history is to recognize it for the patterns and say, okay, here's how it happened last time.

Are we making any of those mistakes?

Okay.

When you look at this book called Defying Hitler and it just stops at the end,

it doesn't have a satisfying ending because it was just

a manuscript or almost a diary.

Is this written in 1939?

Yes.

And

not published until 2000.

Yes.

And it was written in Germany by a guy who became one of the leading authors and authorities on Hitler.

He wrote

the quintessential biography on Hitler.

And so he came to the United States in 1939.

He didn't think he was going to be able to get out of there.

But he starts at

just before World War I.

And he shows how society had changed.

And he started writing it in the 30s because he saw Hitler come to power.

And he's writing a letter of warning to the West and saying, look, you guys don't understand what's happening in Germany and how the German people are seeing this.

They're not who you think they are anymore because of what's happened over the last 20 years.

Now, we're 20 years after 9-11.

And when you read that book, just make World War I our 9-11, and you will see the exact same pattern.

It's pretty chilling.

It's chilling.

It's chilling.

When I read this, I think I highlighted almost every page because I would read a page and I'd be like, oh my gosh, the way he talks about people.

Because he, again, he's writing it like a diary.

He's writing it almost real time.

And he said, you know, my friends who we were close to just

a year ago, now we can't talk to each other.

Now they'll call me a racist.

They'll call me,

you know, a communist.

They'll call me all of these names.

And you read it, it's exactly the same.

Exactly the same.

And again, the only reason to learn history is to make sure you don't create the same conditions and the same pattern and repeat the pattern.

Otherwise, you're going to cut out the same exact figure.

This is an important book for every American to read

because it will show you we are going down the wrong path like crazy.

And we'll get to an actual Nazi lover and AOC, her love for this Nazi lover, in one minute.

We have guests in our studios back in Dallas all the time, and they always comment on our ex-chair.

They always like, this is a really comfortable chair.

What is this?

Stephen Crowder

was busting my chops.

How come I don't have an X-Chair?

So, I don't know, Stephen, you should buy one.

I try, I'm going to get him one.

I keep threatening to get him one and send him one, and I I just never get around to it.

It is the best chair I've ever had in my office.

It's the best chair I've ever had on set.

X-Chair has a 30-day no-questions asked guarantee of complete satisfaction.

You have absolutely no risk.

Now, most companies can't make this kind of offer, but nobody ever sends an X-Chair back.

They never do.

Try it yourself.

Send it back if you don't like it.

If you say it's not exactly everything I said it was, send it back.

Nobody does because it is just the best chair you'll sit in.

It has like 10 different ways to adjust the chair.

We pause for 10 seconds, station ID.

Hey, uh, Pat,

do you know?

know, can you tell me, what do you know about Evida?

That she was a

fascist, right?

She was

a fascist lover, and she was a fan of the Nazis,

but also a fan of the people.

I mean, she was

all about the people, the suffering of the people, and knew that

wealth was only

in the hands of a small fraction, a tiny little fraction of the people of Argentina.

Right.

And she.

She wanted to fix that.

She wanted to fix that.

Well, and she did.

It was in even a smaller fraction.

It was all in her hands in the end.

Yes.

But AOC tweeted this weekend, quote, I had watched for many years and seen how a few rich families held much of Argentina's wealth and power in their hands.

So the government brought in an eight-hour workday, sickness pay, and fair wages to give poor workers a fair go.

End quote.

I mean,

how do you not know who this is?

I mean, I don't know.

Hitler said stuff like this.

Be like, yeah,

saying, I'm going to build a road that has no speed limit.

It's going to be called the Autobahn, and I'm going to start building some great cars called a Volkswagen.

Adolf Hitler.

Hello.

If you tweeted that out, it would be fascinating to see the deluge afterwards.

But for her fans, they don't care because, you know, I think they're as ignorant as she is.

They don't know who Eva Perrone is.

They don't know what she stood for.

And

I don't know that AOC knows much of anything, really.

She's pretty butt stupid.

And so it doesn't surprise me to see her tweet out quotes that seemingly she agrees with Eva Perrone.

Okay, so wait a minute.

It is Eva.

I'm looking at the deal.

Well, you can ignore it.

They called her Evita, too.

They did call her Avita.

Yeah, it's pretty much both terms.

Okay.

Both names.

I like to call her just fascist.

Yeah.

That works out.

So, you know, she went over to Germany, you know,

right around the war, if not in the war.

And, you know, she's hobnobbing with the

Nazis.

And, you know, there's a reason, you know, Argentina ended up being a place where there was a lot of Nazis

towards the end.

You know, she made a very, very safe place for it.

But she went over to, you know, tour and see all of the greatest dictators of her time.

during the war.

And she also made a quick stop at a bank in Switzerland.

And they were, the, the rumor is, is that she went over there and she just loaded that Swiss bank account with all kinds of,

well, the people's money.

Let's just say that.

All kinds of cash from the people.

But she was only saving it, I'm sure.

Yeah, for the little people.

Yeah, for the little people that she was so concerned about.

You know, that's what she was doing.

Right.

Well, they'll say that she was great for women's suffrage and she was great for the poor.

Can we just point out that when we point out that the founders did a lot of good stuff, including fighting against slavery,

no, you can't.

They were horrible human beings.

But

they can take Eva Perrone.

They can take

Margaret Sanger.

Yep.

And they can say...

Yep.

Those people are horrible individuals.

All they do is horrible individuals.

Yeah,

it's a nice double standard if you can get away with it.

It's great

because

these are terrible people.

And it's amazing that they get away with praising them and suffer no consequences.

I mean, you can't even say Biden couldn't even say something that he ate dinner with two segregationists.

and get away with it.

And he's been persecuted ever since.

He will again if he's made the nominee.

Yeah, he will.

Then it'll be fine.

Then it'll be totally fine.

Totally fine.

I'm convinced.

We haven't talked about

the sex,

what's his name?

Epstein?

Epstein.

We haven't talked about him yet.

We have to because I'm convinced

this is about Donald Trump.

They haven't made it about him yet.

I mean, some have, because Trump made a statement a few years ago about, you know, how he likes the ladies, how this guy likes the ladies, and he was a friend.

And I really think this is about Donald Trump.

I wonder if this guy, this guy should go to jail.

He's it's really a horrible story.

Um, but I wonder if it's not a story today

just for the setup of you know, an October surprise for the election.

Or coming up in just a second.

This is the Glenbeck program.

All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about Norton's security.

You know, Al Gore invented the internet, but he didn't put enough

safety valves on it so people can actually come in and

stay one step ahead of technology meant to protect you and to protect me.

That's where Norton has come in from the beginning.

So on Saturday,

there was a plane that landed here in New York, and it had Jeffrey Epstein in it.

And the police arrested him.

And he has been in jail.

He was taken to New York's public corruption unit.

And they were assisted by investigators of the sex trafficking division.

The case

is still undisclosed.

There are indications that others are involved in his crimes, and they are going to be charged or named as cooperating witnesses.

This guy seems to be a real dirtbag.

This is kind of like

what's his name from Hollywood past.

Weinstein.

Yeah, Weinstein.

Where everybody kind of knew this, but nobody ever said it out loud.

Everybody in these circles have thought that he was a dirtbag for a long time.

Good friends with Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Bill Clinton would go down to Democrat donor.

Yeah, huge Democratic donor.

And Bill Clinton would go down to his private island in the Virgin Islands.

And this is where a lot of this stuff apparently happened, where he actually kept sex slaves.

And they would go down and have their way with these women and rape them and then go home on his private jet.

Yeah, and in some cases, they weren't women.

They were underage girls,

which makes this story even more sickening.

He apparently, and this according to

an article done by,

what was it?

Like, maybe it might have even been Vanity Fair.

They quoted Donald Trump saying, yeah,

he likes his women and he likes them young.

And they printed that.

And now they're using that against Donald Trump.

Donald Trump was neighbors with him down by Mar-Lago.

The picture they have of Donald Trump and Epstein is one with Marla, not Marla.

Oh,

the first lady.

Melania.

Oh, Melania.

Yeah.

Yeah, I was singing at Marla Maples, but Melania.

And it was taken back in the 1980s.

So they've known each other for a long time.

But again,

even the New York Times is saying that they were really close with the Clintons, and he was

a very large Democratic donor.

So they're going to try to make this, I think, all about Donald Trump.

I think you're exactly right on that.

I was just reading.

an article on this and it's talking about Epstein, a multimillionaire hedge fund manager who has powerful political connections that include, and you would assume the first person they mentioned would be Bill Clinton, because that's who's been associated with him for years now.

And Clinton flew on his jet with him to the private island, and there's speculation that he was involved in some of these parties with young women.

But no, the first person they include is President Donald Trump.

Amazing.

That's amazing.

Now, the Miami Herald is the one that

has done all of the work on this, and they would not let it go.

And I think that is,

I think that's commendable.

But I want you to listen to

what they say about

Donald Trump.

They talk about how he has been with many, many famous people, blah, blah, blah.

They say the Epstein case drew scrutiny following an investigation published in November by the Miami Herald called Perversion of Justice that examined the ways in which the U.S.

Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alexander Acosta, worked in conjunction with Epstein's lawyers to engineer the non-prosecution agreement and to keep it secret from Epstein's victims so they could not object.

Acosta is now President Trump's Secretary of Labor.

So that's how they're going to get.

into Donald Trump because they don't have anything really on Donald Trump on this that we know of.

They do bring up the friendship with Bill and Hillary Clinton because that's something that we've known for a very long time.

That Bill and

Robert Epstein would

go on trips to the private island

from time to time.

There's no information of Donald Trump being involved in any of that.

It looks like they're just going to go after, see, look, he hired this guy who was doing shady things

down in Florida.

And I think

that's really where this thing is going to end up in about a year from now.

Now, some of the people that are either going to be prosecuted or used as cooperating witnesses, one of them is this woman named Maxwell.

She's almost 60 years old.

She's a British socialite.

She was

a woman working for Epstein, apparently as the madam.

And according to court records, she was partners in this international modeling company.

And

what the scam was, is she would approach these young girls and say, hey, do you want to be

in a modeling company?

We can help find jobs.

You are beautiful, blah, blah, blah.

I want you to come to this modeling class and assignment.

And we're going to help launch your modeling and fashion career and give you all kinds of educational opportunities.

And then they would be flown down.

And then someone would say, if you don't have sex with him and all of his buddies, he's going to destroy your modeling career.

You won't have a chance at anything because do you know who he is?

I mean, he's in there with the former president of the United States, Bill Clinton.

You can't say no to these people.

They'll destroy you.

And then they had them.

That's in a nutshell what they think.

is going on.

If she turns, because she's going to face prison for a very long time if they have evidence against her, they think that she's going to be named as a cooperating witness.

And

if she is cooperating and admits to all this,

he'll go to jail for the rest of his life and others may also go to jail for the rest of their life, which would be a very, very good thing.

As long as it's honest.

I don't think they've even scratched the surface of who's been involved with this either.

I think there's going to be a lot of people that are probably pretty nervous right now because he got rearrested.

They were probably thinking this was over.

They settled this case.

He paid off a bunch of people.

I'm in the clear.

And now he's been arrested again.

So yeah, they're going to get caught up.

I think this was the biggest

travesty of justice I've seen in

a long, long time.

I mean, I can't think of another.

Well, O.J.

Simpson comes to mind, but this one was corrupt from the get-go.

I mean, the guy who's working for Trump now should be investigated Not because of any connections with Trump, but because this was just dirty.

It was clearly dirty the police You know that were involved said they've never seen anything like this before It was this shady deal that was supposed to keep him out of court for all of all of the sex stuff

So I don't know he's supposed to go to a judge today and they're saying that he may not leave jail he may not be able to post bail because he's considered a flight risk.

And I would imagine a guy with that kind of money, a billionaire,

that is a total flight.

I mean, that is the definition of a flight risk.

That guy could board a plane in the middle of the night, especially with all of his political connections.

And I mean, if he really does have connections to the

royal family and Bill Clinton and

people in the Trump administration, the guy could

get out of the United States probably fairly easy.

So we'll see.

We'll bring an update on this tomorrow after we find out exactly what is happening.

Also,

are we headed for the end of the world?

Oh my gosh.

I read this review of this book that talks about the end of the world and what's bringing it apart.

And Pat, do you remember what they said about the Overton window?

Oh, yeah.

You remember the review?

And Agenda 21.

It was just all this conspiracy theory.

Okay.

And it was just nothing.

It wasn't a novel.

It was Glenn Beck's conspiracy theories, even though all of our stuff in those were footnoted, so you knew exactly what was real and what wasn't.

I mean, you read The Eye of Moloch.

Well, that's pretty much

the NSA and Google.

That's what that book was about before that book knew what they were going to be called.

This one, The Wanderers, they're headed toward the end of the world.

And I want to share some of this because it seems so plausible.

And it is definitely

not a conspiracy theorist book or really anything that was politically motivated

at all.

Just people calling it like it is.

That's all this is.

That's what it is.

That's all.

They're calling it like it is.

Good.

Good.

Pat, it's fiction.

sure it's fiction sure you can't you can't persecute them for fiction no why would you

of course not of course not we'll get into that next

so the housing market this summer very very hot uh but not just for the sellers like in the year years past buyers also have a great tool and that is a low interest rate.

So really, this is one of those times rare that both sides can win.

Rates have actually dropped over the last year or so, so monthly payments are lower and lower than rent for many people.

It's worth the 10-minute call to American Financing to see how these historically low interest rates can help you get your financial house in order.

With current rates, it's also a great time to do a refinance, pay down the high-interest credit card debt, or cash out some equity of your home to do some home improvements.

But whatever you do, make sure you get a fixed rate loan because you may never see these rates again.

You know, there's nothing wrong with owing money.

If your interest rate is locked in on your home and it's very, very low.

That's the time to borrow money and that's the time to put it into your house.

But make sure it's locked in.

American Financing has salary-based mortgage consultants who will work with you to get the best loan for your circumstance.

They don't work for the bank.

They won't get you qualified for the wrong loan.

They try to find exactly the right loan for you and your family, which is why I trust American Financing.

And I ask that you do your own homework and find out for yourself.

I think you're going to trust them, and you will end up using them as I do.

American Financing, the only mortgage company in America I have ever endorsed, it's American Financing, 800-906-2440.

AmericanFinancing.net is where you'll find them online.

Okay, so

as we're looking at different stories, I found this story today about the Wanderers.

And this is from NPR.

And it's a new book by Chuck Wendigs.

Political upheaval, they say, tends to push writers to create narratives that enter into conversation with the most salient themes of the time.

And Chuck Wendigs' Wanderers is one of those, a dystopian, apocalyptic novel that comfortably occupies a space between horror and science fiction.

Wanderers is full of social commentary that digs into everything from global warming to racial tension while never preaching or bogging down the action-packed story.

So, let me just give you a part of this.

Shauna notes the problem isn't the, I'm quoting, camo pants and the trucker hats or the long hair, the mullets, the scraggly beards.

No, something about these patriots who hate the Democratic president, a woman, is worse.

They hate anything that isn't white.

They want to get rid of all foreigners.

They want to murder the president and vote for his opponent, a man who spouts

racist and homophobic rhetoric.

They also wear their hunt the seaward t-shirts and their S-kicker boots, their bright white Creed Saves America baseball hats.

Oh, this is so subtle, isn't it?

Their bigotry personified.

While some blame the sleepwalkers on a new disease, a comet or the devil, or

whatever, the supremacists use it as an excuse for racial and ethnic cleansing.

They know the disease was not meant for them because God wouldn't do that to Americans.

This gives them a reason to kill everyone else.

Now, the good news is, this is only an 800-page tome.

And if it's it's as non-preachy as that is, oh, it's good.

Oh, it's good eating there.

That is unbelievable.

The Wanderers is engaging and entertaining.

It's uncomfortable to read, yes, but it's a timely novel that demands a place in the spotlight.

This is crap.

This is propaganda.

And dare I say it,

sounds like conspiratorial crap.

Especially since when have you seen any of that on the right?

When have we seen anything like

what was it, Hunt the C-word on a t-shirt?

Any of that kind of

despicable garbage?

Come on.

Okay, hang on.

Creed is the Creed is the presidential nominee, and they have bright white Creed Saves America baseball hats.

That's absolutely unlike a bright red

Make America Great Again hat.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, yeah, completely different.

They're not tearing it off the pages of today's news.

That's amazing.

That's amazing.

Wow.

Amazing.

By the way, go back and read what the New York Times said about my book, The Overton Window, The Eye of Moloch, or Agenda 21.

Yeah.

They thought it was a

conspiracy theorist

haven and not worth anyone's time.

And it wasn't anywhere close to this kind of tripe by any stretch of the imagination.

This is the Glenbeck program.
