First of Many Freak Shows | Guests: Joanna Mendez, Josh Hammer, Tim Pool, & Mark Skousen | 6/27/19

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glembeck program.

So if you didn't have to watch it,

it was wildly entertaining.

If you didn't have to watch it,

if you can just watch it in highlight clips, and that's what you pay us to do, to give you the digest and

the highlights of last night's debate.

And oh, is it going to be fun?

If it wasn't, if the destruction of our country wasn't hanging in the balance, it would be a lot more fun, but still, still, I think, wildly entertaining in the clip form.

We go to that in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Okay, what are you doing?

If you're in pain, why are you still in pain?

Oh man, I'm turning into my wife.

I just don't want to hear it anymore.

If you're not going to try everything,

that's what my wife finally said to me to get me to do Relief Factor.

Because I was just like, okay, it's worth

three weeks of just trying it.

It's not going to work.

Why won't you try it?

It's not going to work.

Well, how do you know that if you never tried it?

It's not going to work.

How do you know that?

You know what?

I'm not just going to listen to it.

I'm not going to, don't talk to me about your pain unless you try it.

So I tried it.

And my wife was not as wrong as she usually is.

It's Relief Factor.

I've been taking it now for eight months and it totally has changed my life.

Just try it.

Created by doctors, 100% drug-free.

It's all natural.

It's Relief Factor.

Try it now for $19.95.

Try it for three weeks.

If it doesn't work, stop taking it.

If it does,

You get your life back.

It's Relief Factor.

Ease your pain and get back doing the things that you love to do.

ReliefFactor and relief factor.com.

All right.

That'll be a good show today.

Yeah, you had the big event last night.

How are you doing?

I'm feeling pretty good.

Excited about talking about last night's debate.

day.

I'm not supposed to acknowledge that, right?

We're just supposed to act as it.

Okay.

Yeah, I'm just reaching out to a new constituency, the people that speak Latin, pig Latin.

And it's not my first language, so I'm sorry if I butchered it, but I want you to know that I'm just like you.

I'm part of your community.

Yes, and that proves it.

Nothing proves it like awkwardly blurting out language like that.

Hi, Ray.

Uste.

Wright, Stu.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, that little man.

Did you see it when,

was it Betto first broke out?

He was the first one to come out of the gate with Spanish.

Yeah.

And Corey Booker and Elizabeth Warren, their faces were like, oh.

Oh.

But Corey Booker is the perfect example.

It was such a Corey Booker moment because it was being shared all over the internet.

Like, look at Corey Booker.

He's like, oh, rolling his eyes at Beto.

But he did it too.

That's why he was rolling his eyes.

He's like, crap, this guy took my good idea.

He was mad that later on he was going to speak in Spanish awkwardly and is pissed off that Beto did it first.

So bad.

It was was so bad.

Okay, because I'm excited to get to some of the highlights.

Let's start with Warren on guns.

Here's Elizabeth Warren on guns.

In this period of time that I've been running for president, I've had more than 100 town halls.

I've taken more than 2,000 unfiltered questions.

Oh, that's unfiltered.

And the single hardest question I've gotten,

I got one from a little boy and I got one from a little girl.

Oh, boy.

These are all.

And that is to say, when you're president, how are you going to to keep us safe?

Oh boy.

That's our responsibility as adults.

Not as president, but as adults...

Stop.

Stu,

seven children will die today from gun violence?

Have you ever heard that stat?

I don't know the breakdown of...

Yeah, how are we getting to seven children will die today from gun violence?

Well, I mean, you know, there's obviously they're going to probably count suicides in there, I'm assuming.

Yes.

But, I mean, you know, there's tens of, like, what is it,

roughly 30,000 people a year die

from guns.

So if you're counting suicide and you're counting like Chicago,

you know, and where are you talking about?

Are you saying school shootings, essentially?

No, no, no.

She says not in school shootings.

She said out by the pool.

You know,

just from guns.

Okay, well, wait a minute.

There's a difference between somebody, some kid getting a hold of a gun that shouldn't, you know, because parents didn't lock it up or whatever, and they're, you know, in the, you know, in the playroom and there's dad's gun, they pick it up and they accidentally shoot themselves.

There's a difference between that and suicide, that and, you know, gang violence.

There's a huge difference.

Where is the cutoff for kids?

Right.

I mean, it d it really does depend.

I mean, if you but if that's uh if there's 30,000 roughly gun deaths in the United States, if you include everything, and then if seven a day for children would be about 2,500, right, for the day.

So, like, I think that's not out of the line of what you would think is the number.

Of course, it does matter what you're counting and how we're.

Exactly.

Of course,

the picture they're trying to paint is seven kids a day get shot as they're just sitting in school in the cafeteria because of school shootings.

They're trying to

go ahead and play the rest.

Children and teenagers.

And they won't just die in mass shootings.

They'll die on sidewalks.

They'll die in playgrounds.

They'll die in people's backyards.

Gun violence is a national health emergency in this country.

Stop.

And we need to.

It's really important.

A national health emergency.

Why do you think they are pushing Trump on the border?

Why do you think they are making it so he only can take emergency presidential powers to do it.

They want him to do that so badly

because they're going to do the same thing right here.

Correct.

And they're setting it up right now.

This is a national health emergency.

We have to do something about guns.

Now, she goes on, as only Elizabeth Warren

could possibly do in smoke signals, watch.

And we need to treat it like that.

So what can we do?

We can do the things that are sensible.

We can do the universal background checks.

We can ban the weapons of war.

But we can also double down on the research and find out what really works, where it is that we can make the differences at the margins that will keep our children safe.

We need to treat this like the virus that's killing our children.

You didn't address that.

The virus

needs to go and figure out a way to get the guns that are already out there.

What I think we need to do is we need to treat it like a serious research problem, which we have not done.

A serious research.

Stop, stop, stop.

We have not done a serious research

on what works, what doesn't work.

Look at John Lott's book.

There's a lot of serious research in that.

Serious research.

It doesn't seem like they like that one, though.

Yeah, the things you're doing in research shows it doesn't make any difference.

Everything you propose makes no difference.

And there's lots of serious research done on their assault weapons ban, which showed no effect at all.

They had an assault weapons ban.

It was repealed because it didn't work.

Well, it expired, but yeah, it wasn't renewed because it did nothing.

The much more aggressive policies in places like Australia, also, lots of serious research done on those that showed that there was no impact whatsoever on homicide rates.

But, you know, hey,

this is a very common left-wing talking point, which is they won't even let us research guns.

You can research anything you want.

But A, they're talking about the federal government paying for that research, which, of course, is a big part of it.

And one of the protections, this goes back years, and Democrats were involved in this at the beginning, was we aren't going to allow money to go and do all sorts of research on gun owners because

the concept being that what they're going to do is A, violate the privacy of gun owners,

and B, try to overturn this right of theirs that is constitutionally guaranteed.

So to get certain restrictions on guns, they said, well, we will promise you that we're not going to make a registry of gun owners and all these things.

now of course obviously it's been some time people forget that so they've completely reversed their position on it but this was not a right-wing position it used to be very american that you don't want the government going in and you know no register lists yeah a register is the first is the first way uh the first step to gun control and gun banning and corey booker called for that last night i i love here let's go to booker on guns

well first of all i want to say my colleague and i both have been hearing this on the campaign trail.

But what's even worse is I hear gunshots in my neighborhood.

I think I'm the only one.

I hope I'm the only one on this panel here that had seven people shot in their neighborhood just last week.

Someone I knew, Shahad Smith, was killed with an assault rifle at the top of my block last year.

All right, stop.

Does anyone think that Corey Booker lives in the ghetto?

I do not.

Okay.

What he just, let me just translate political bullcrap into English because I speak political bullcrap now.

Not fluently.

It's not my first language, but I fluently.

Your first language is Pig Latin, right?

Pig Latin.

Right.

Yes, Pig Latin.

Okay.

But I also speak political bullcrap.

So let me translate this to

English.

I hope I'm the only one.

I think I am because I'm the only one that lives in New Jersey that has some of the most stringent laws.

But even in the really nice sections of New Jersey, because

I'm a pretty powerful guy, and I'm not going to be living in the slums.

I'm not going to be living in, you know, places, you know, like Chicago.

You can live it up, or you can live in places where they're shooting people all the time.

But my town and my state, and the town that I was, you know, mayor of is so horrible through and through that even the nice neighborhoods where a senator can live,

it's so bad that I'm hearing gunshots in the middle of the night and seven people were shot in my neighborhood.

So what I'm really trying to say is, good Lord help us.

New Jersey's completely out of control.

Anyway, that's what he actually was saying

last night.

But the political speech was,

oh my gosh, guns are just, guns are out of control.

I mean, I think I'm the only one, but it's coming to your neighborhood too.

Well, yes, if you live in New Jersey.

And it's a weird thing to brag about considering he was in control of the city for large portions of this time.

He could have had an influence in theory

about how the city was doing.

No, well, no, you can't because they've already enacted all of the bans.

New Jersey, you don't want to go to New Jersey with a gun.

Oh, believe me, I know that.

I used to live a block away from it, and I was legitimately terrified of it because I lived one block from the

that separates Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

I was on the Pennsylvania side, and Pennsylvania has, you know, relatively normal, I would say, gun laws, you know, not super, you know, it's not

lax, but not restrictive.

And so, you know, you might put, if you have a gun, you might put it in your trunk.

You might have it with you.

You know, there's a lot of things you might do.

You go to prison.

Because you go across that bridge one step into New Jersey, they pull you over and you could go to prison for years.

Yeah.

I was terrified to take it anywhere because I at least mistakenly forget it in the back, the back, or go to the gas station that I would go to that's right across the bridge you know or it like because you know of course gas is inexpensive in New Jersey in comparison so you'd cross the bridge a lot of times and if you forget and you could legitimately go to prison for multiple years and it's happened to people no I happened to average

fly out of Newark I remember distinctively one time I flew out of Newark, New Jersey, and I was taking my gun because I was going out west and I was going to go do some shooting.

So I bring my gun with me and I remember having like an hour-long conversation.

Okay, I'm going into New Jersey.

Okay, don't have any hollow points.

Make sure there's no hollow points.

You know,

what is the magazine supposed to be?

Is the magazine supposed to be in the glove box and the gun is in the trunk of the car?

And then walking in with a locked case into the airport in New Jersey.

And I was treated like I was a terrorist.

I brought the gun up and they told me I had it in two separate cases.

I had the ammunition in one locked case and I had the gun in one locked case.

Unless the gun or the ammunition suddenly became Houdini

and they were also sexually attracted to each other, there was no way they were going to get out and mate on the plane underneath the plane.

Oh my gosh.

The airline told me I needed it in three pieces and three pieces of locked luggage.

And so we had to do all of that.

And then the airline lost my luggage.

They shipped it up to Canada.

So my gun was going around a carousel up in Quebec, Canada, and nobody approached it for a while because the entire nation of Canada surrendered to my luggage.

It's crazy what's going on.

But Corey Booker, he's afraid for his life.

So last night, I think we were very clear.

Your gun rights are going to be infringed, if not taken away, if these radicals find themselves in office.

And it was important to notice that all of them talked about an emergency.

This is why they are not doing anything down on the border because they need Trump to declare an emergency through executive order and take over the border.

Once he does that, they are all going to sit in their office and laugh.

They'll be outraged, but they will laugh because they know when they get into office, it's a national emergency on climate change.

It is a national emergency on gun laws.

It's a national emergency on speech.

It will become a dictatorship.

No ifs, ands, or buts.

Once you start going and legislating or not legislating, just declaring national emergencies, the president has all the power he wants.

And if you get somebody who wants to do that and start bypassing the system, which I believe the Democrats are now setting up for, that's a problem.

And it's a problem for Republicans.

It's a problem if Democrats do it.

It's a problem.

All right.

Let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

Over a thousand active agents right now, but we have a waiting list of about 5,000 that are wanting to join us.

Here's the thing: we take our time vetting these agents.

They all personally have to be vetted.

We want to make sure that we don't have people.

Did you know I heard Pat say today?

I'd forgotten about this.

Pat's tried to do insurance, sales.

I think he was a real estate agent for a while.

He's, I mean, he was an Amway salesman for a while.

He just was like, I got to get get out of radio.

Yeah, I remember this period.

Yeah, okay.

It didn't work out well.

It did not work out well.

No, none of us have actual skills.

No, no.

No skills whatsoever.

I mean, I'm hoping in end days, somebody's going to need somebody to,

you know, tell you the stories of, you know, the day.

Hey, you know.

You know Cannibal Bill over there?

Yeah.

Let me tell you a story about him around the campfire so they don't eat me.

We have no skills.

Anyway, Pat really has no skills outside of radio when it comes to doing things, and he was was a real estate agent.

You wouldn't want him.

You wouldn't want him.

Okay.

You could trust him.

He's a nice guy, but he's not going to sell your house, okay?

We make sure that we vet every single person.

They have to exemplify the truth lives here.

They have to have experience.

They have to be the best.

This is not a sponsor I recommend.

This is my company.

My team works diligently to ensure that our agents live up to their promise to me to best serve you with your biggest investment.

It's a free service.

It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

So you can say, that's a real estate agent I trust.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

We break for 10 seconds.

All right.

Let's do a quick

residence update for Corey Booker.

Okay, so it is part of his shtick that he lives kind of in the neighborhood where he used to live.

He lives in a condo now.

The average house price in all of New Jersey is $330,000, I believe it is.

And

in Newark has a condo at $435,000.

Now, that is it's a pair.

A lot of people call it modest.

Now, of course, he's not there all that often.

Obviously, he lives in Washington, D.C.

When he had a choice to go to Washington, D.C.,

he picked a place with the average neighborhood income of $150,000 and what Forbes has deemed, quote, America's

sixth hippest hipster neighborhood.

Oh, my God.

Because he's a man of the hipsters.

Yes.

So that is Corey Booker.

So this is part of his brand that I swear I still live in Newark in a place close to where I grew up.

Right.

And he lives.

So he lives in a condo, an expensive condo

in Newark, New Jersey.

So if you're living in Newark and you're in a high-rise, you're not living in the burbs.

You're living in the inner city.

So,

yeah,

no one, no one that's sane ever says, hey, you know what?

Let's go to Newark.

Have you thought about buying a condo in Newark?

No.

I don't even want to stop at the train station in Newark on the right.

You don't.

I don't want to go to the airport in Newark.

I mean, Newark is not a good place.

Again, this guy had a lot of control over that.

Oh, yeah, it was only the mayor.

Right.

For a long time a long time

no big deal no big deal on that um all right we're gonna get into medicare uh also um

uh

what's her name tulsi uh tuli gabbard gabbard

she she did really well but she was one of those that i think the average americans were like who's who's oh who's this oh yeah i mean the the her no one knows who she is I mean, unless you really follow this stuff, you're not going to know who Tulsi Gabbard is.

But she, I thought, did pretty well last time.

Well, she did really well against the other guy who I went, who the hell is this?

Oh, yeah, Tim Ryan.

Oh, that was a master.

Gosh, that guy should be out today.

Yeah,

his wife should sit him down and go,

honey.

I love you.

But no one else does.

Nobody else does.

It's not going anywhere.

Stop.

Stop.

You're spending the kids' education money.

And stop.

I'm sure he's not spending the kids' education money.

Well, who's donating to that camera?

After that performance, I would say not many people.

Not many people.

We have that.

Also, Castro on trans abortions.

That was an interesting moment.

Oh, this is so fun.

We're all going to die, but we're all going to die laughing

on the way.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

We've been telling you a lot lately about how Google and Facebook are trying to silence conservative voices.

Did you see what happened on Reddit yesterday?

Yeah, some ban with a, what was it, a Trump forum?

Yeah, a Trump forum.

And

this, make no mistake, the algorithms and everything else, this is silencing people before an election.

That's what's happening.

So

this is a powerful reminder that cyberspace is like

Corey Booker's neighborhood.

It's It's a dangerous place to be.

There is a company that can help you that knows the dark alleys and how to avoid them because people are trying to invade your privacy.

They invade your phone, your desktop, your tablet.

They steal your private information.

They steal your identity.

They also just track you online.

You need a VPN.

It stops most of this.

VPN.

Go to Norton Secure VPN.

That's a virtual private network.

Nobody's following you.

Nobody's tracking you.

Just head to norton.com slash VPN.

Protection starts at 333 a month.

Norton.com slash VPN.

Blazetv.com/slash Glenn is the place to go.

Get all that you need from conservative content and all the analysis from last night's debate.

Use the promo code Glenn.

All righty.

Hello, Pat Gray.

Hello, Glenn Beck.

My thoughts and my prayers are going to be with you tomorrow.

Thank you.

Pat is going under the night.

I'm a little offended by that.

Is that all you got?

That's all I got.

Thoughts and prayers.

I'm going to think about you, and I'm going to be like, hey, Lord, help him out, would you?

But that's all I really am going to do.

Can I clear one thing up?

I have never sold real estate.

Okay.

Only realtors.

are members of the National Association of

Express.

I was not an Amui salesman either.

Yes, you were.

No, Afla.

I've been an Aflak salesman before the duck when nobody knew what the hell Aflac was.

Aflac.

And so you can imagine.

So you were selling insurance?

So I was selling insurance.

You went through a period.

No, I sold insurance.

Do not test me on this.

You test you.

It's my life.

You also

tried to sell me products.

Never, not once did I ever try to sell you a product.

No.

This only happened for a couple of months while I was out of work and I thought, okay, radio's not working.

So I went, this is 25 years ago.

I went into Aflac sales for a couple of months and tried to educate people on what Aflac is because they don't have any idea.

Oh, so it's my health insurance.

No,

it's a supplemental thing to your health insurance so that you get a check when I don't know.

I don't understand.

So you're really good at saying

that.

So

what you were saying here is this economy does not work for you.

It didn't work for you.

No, it did not.

It only works for the bourgeoisie.

You know that.

I found that on the Karl Marx Memorial stage stage last night.

It was crazy.

Every word out of their mouth was a lie or Marxist theory.

Everything.

And they might as well be using the word bourgeoisie because that's what they continually talk about in this class warfare.

And the proletariat is being left behind.

Have you ever seen anything like this?

No, I've never seen anything like this.

I've never.

Oh,

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I got to go to this.

Here's Castro on trans abortion.

Secretary Castro, this one is for you.

All of you on stage support a woman's right to an abortion.

You all support some version of a government health care option.

Would your plan cover abortion, Mr.

Secretary?

Yes, it would.

I don't believe only in reproductive freedom.

I believe in reproductive justice.

Woo!

Nice catchphrase.

What that means is that just because a woman, or let's also not forget someone in the trans community, a trans female,

right?

Crazy.

Doesn't mean they shouldn't have

exercise.

He said trans female, but I think he means trans man, right?

A person who's transitioning to a female.

Being a man into a female.

Into a female.

So here's the thing.

Here's the thing.

Wait.

I am so.

So started as a female.

No.

No.

Started as a man.

Transitioned to a female.

So remember, it's got to be the other way around.

No, it's not.

Men can have babies.

But I think he's talking about a person, a woman, starting out as a woman, who maybe is transitioning to a man, but she's a bad man.

And now she's a man, but she can have

a whole

heat.

I'm sorry, but she gets pregnant.

Why the hatred from this guy?

What about men?

Because I am so tempted to do that.

If I were 20, I would do this just

to stir it up.

I would say, I want to have a a baby.

And then I would have them implant a baby because men can have babies too now.

So implant a baby and then demand a government paid for abortion.

You laugh.

You know, I think if you happen to have a membership to Blaze TV, Blazetv.com slash Glenn, promo code Glenn, you can get over to Steven Crowder's program.

And I believe, if I'm not mistaken, Stephen dressed up as a woman, said he was a trans,

a person transitioning,

acquired urine from Craigslist from a pregnant woman.

So went to a Planned Parenthood, said they were pregnant, and asked for an abortion.

I swear he did this bit.

Does anyone.

Yes, he actually did this.

He did.

And Planned Parenthood was going along with it, even though obviously Stephen's nothing like a woman.

Right.

But even though they knew he was a man, and if your urine comes back, I mean, he took the thing and he poured it into, you know, their testing.

They did the testing.

Okay.

And he came back pregnant.

Came back pregnant.

But for a man,

that is a sign of prostate cancer.

And they wouldn't even say, really, you should have your prostate checked.

Oh, no.

Okay.

Because they had to accept blindly that he was a woman.

Even though it's Stephen Crowder in a dress.

It's crazy.

Okay.

Oh my gosh.

It was so clear it was a man.

And any doctor knows that's a sign.

You can't be pregnant.

You can't be pregnant.

As a man, you cannot be pregnant.

So if your P shows that you're pregnant, that is a clear sign you have prostate cancer.

And they did nothing.

It was unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

At one point in the debate last night, Corey Booker said, you know, a huge problem we have in this country is we will just...

We have it right now.

Oh, we do?

I believe we have it about helping.

Helping African-American, trans-Americans.

Let's see if this is the clip.

Here it is.

Listen to this.

Look, civil rights is someplace to begin, but in the African-American civil rights community, another place to focus on was to stop the lynching of African Americans.

We do not talk enough about trans Americans, especially African-American trans Americans, and the total areas of murder right now.

We do not talk enough about how many children, about 30% of LGBTQ kids, who do not go to school because of fear.

It's not enough just to be on the Equality Act.

I'm an original co-sponsor.

We need to have a president that will fight to protect LGBTQ Americans every single day from Two-Spirit.

What about Two-Spirited?

Yeah, they're not going nearly enough down the alphabet to get to the LGBTQ tool.

They've completely left out the questioning.

They've left out the intersex.

They've left out the asexual.

They've left out the two-spirit and the plus people.

I'm pissed.

But why can't that be inclusive?

If a society was designed from scratch, right, with their sole goal to talk about transgendered people.

Could we talk about it more?

I mean, we spend like 80% of our time, I think, talking about transgender people, where they go to the bathroom.

No, no, no, no.

How they're going to get their surgeries, how beautiful every single one of them are.

There's not one ugly transgender people.

You are bigoted if you won't.

Date a transgender.

I mean, we are.

This is now transgender population estimated to be at 0.6% of America.

What the African-American transgender population, I guess, what?

No, that's roughly a tenth of.

How dare you?

How dare you?

Get it right.

African-American, trans-American person.

Okay, exactly.

So they're transitioning between here and Mexico?

What do you mean, trans-American?

That's what they were called by Corey Booker.

Okay.

African-American, trans-American.

Okay, so that person is what, maybe 0.06% of the population.

I mean,

we talk about it all the time.

Every series I turn on has a trans character in it now.

Yeah.

I mean, I look, transgender people deserve all the rights that everyone else gets.

And by the way, that's it.

They don't deserve extra ones, but they deserve the exact amount of rights that everyone else has.

But could we possibly talk about it more?

It's like they're kind of every one of these debates, we need to have a conversation.

It's like they're 89%

having conversations on topics.

It's all we do all day.

Yeah.

It's like they're 89% of the population, not 0.6.

And

if you are hetero,

you don't even have a place at the table.

No.

And I have no place at the table.

And you do not need to talk about our heterosexual.

Please, we don't need any more talk about who we're having sex with.

We can, I swear, or what gender we are.

We have way too much gender and sex talk.

Do we not?

I mean,

it is perfectly aligned with the Democratic Party in that everything is identity politics.

So of course they want to talk about that more.

That's all they care about: what group you're in.

That's it.

You looked at it last night.

I think Castro did well, largely because everyone was afraid of saying anything bad about him because he's Hispanic.

Every single time immigration came up, all the other candidates, I agree with Julio Julio Castro over there.

See, because his last name's Castro, I agree with him.

That makes me good.

And he's sitting there like, I'm at 0%.

Why are they treating me like I'm leading?

They were all trying to kiss his ass.

He's at 0%.

But they're so focused on the identity stuff that they can't help themselves.

I have to play Betto's answer on 70% income tax.

Oh, God.

Are you for

70% income?

Are you for the federal government just leaving people with 30% of what they work for?

Here's his answer.

This economy has got to work

for everyone.

And right now we know that it isn't.

And it's going to take all of us coming together to make sure that it does.

Necessitamos include

the exit of this economy.

But

we have

to

include people in our democracy.

How do we have a system that favors those who can pay for access and outcomes?

That's how you explain an economy that is ready to corporations and to the very wealthiest.

A $2 trillion tax cut that favored corporations while they were sitting on record piles of cash and the very wealthiest in this country at a time of historic wealth inequality.

A new democracy that is revived because we've returned power to the people.

No tax, no gerrymandering, automatic and same-day voter registration to bring in more voters, and a new Voting Rights Act to get rid of the barriers that are in place now.

That's how we each have a voice in our democracy and make this economy work for everybody.

That's time, sir.

I'll give you 10 seconds to answer.

If you want to answer the direct question, would you support a 70% individual marginal tax rate?

Yes, no, or pass?

I would support a tax rate and a tax code that is fair to everyone.

Tax capital at the same rate that you tax ordinary income.

Take that corporate tax rate up to 28%.

You would generate the revenues you need to pay for it.

He won't answer the main question.

No.

Won't say yes, won't you?

He won't say yes or no to the 70% tax rate.

This party is now embarrassed to say no, not 70%.

That's amazing.

They can't.

And they won't.

They can't.

They just won't say it.

Instead, he wants to raise the capital gains to what, the upper tax bracket, which is 40%.

Wasn't it Betto that said that he will not take a vice presidential

position

if

the president on the ticket is a male?

Because it's time we have

a vice president that's female.

What about a trans president?

Well, that's what I was thinking.

But I just, Betto, I just want you to know, after your performance last night,

you're not going to be vice president of the local beekeepers club.

Nobody doesn't have to worry about it.

No, it's no, America finally sees you for exactly what you are, a zero.

Thanks, Pat.

Good luck with the surgery.

We will pay for you tomorrow.

I will tell you, though, our health care system is so bad.

Oh, it's broken.

It's broken.

You're going to be piled in the street.

Right.

I know.

And it's weird because didn't we get Obamacare?

I thought that was supposed to cure all of this.

All they did was complain about how bad the health care system was.

It's incredible.

These people just passed a giant program that told, they said it was going to fix all of this.

And here they are two or three years later.

Oh, yeah, wow, this is a disaster.

We need a whole new program.

Incredible.

Well, I do believe there were one, two, three, three people that were saying.

They're only going to come back and say this has failed, and that's why we need a single-payer system.

Yeah, and you know how many fact checks did we need to endure as conservatives when we said it was a sales payment?

Oh, they always called it false.

They always said it was false.

It's not a single payer.

Obama doesn't believe in that.

He said it.

Yeah, he said it.

He also said the opposite.

And all of the people who designed this specifically tell us it's going to be single payer eventually.

And here we are, like one election later.

And every candidate up there is like, yeah, of course, single payer, obviously.

It's incredible.

It's nuts.

It's nuts.

It's incredible.

Seriously, where are you going going to move?

I was talking to a guy last night and he said,

I think I'm going to move to Switzerland.

He said, I was talking to some Swiss

people, family, and I said, Swiss family Robinson?

And he didn't laugh.

And I said,

he said, yeah, we were, you know, we went with a Swiss family to Antarctica for a month.

And I'm like, you're going to build a house in Antarctica?

He's like, no, Switzerland.

And I'm like, okay, I can't follow your travels.

Okay.

But as I said to him, where are you going to go?

Maybe Antarctica would be safe.

Switzerland isn't necessarily safe from insanity.

Look what's happening in Europe.

If we continue down this road, we are looking at there's no America left.

There's no engine left.

All right.

Great, thanks.

Let me tell you about American Finance.

American Financing is absolutely fantastic.

I just spent about two hours with people American Financing yesterday, and we were talking about how, you know, the wolves are out right now.

The same practices that everybody was doing with the banking system happening again.

Oh, wow, the interest rates are really low and

you could go with no money down, et cetera, et cetera.

And I talked to them about

real financial security.

And they said, look, we work for the client, and they may come in and say, Hey, we're going to, we really want to do this, no money down, and we want a balloon payment or whatever it is.

And they said, We turn people down.

We'll say, if you want to do that, here's where you can go and do that, but we don't want to unwrite that because we think it's going to cause you trouble.

That's why I got into business with American Financing in the first place.

These are the people that I trust.

They're salary-based mortgage consultants.

They have your financial security at

the top of their mind when they work with you please go to americanfinancing.net if you want to refi if you want to uh consolidate or if you want to buy your next home american financing 800-906-2440 or americanfinancing.net

So there was a lot of answers that climate change was our biggest threat last night,

but only one person said that Russia was our biggest threat.

And it is, it's China or Russia.

Well, maybe Iran.

I don't know.

I don't know.

They're all such big threats in different ways.

We should talk to an expert.

We have that expert with us.

And

her credentials with the CIA are amazing.

If you've ever watched Mission Impossible,

that kind of, in a roundabout way,

a lot of that

involved her.

All the mask making and everything else.

That's this person's story.

And you actually know her story from movies.

But we're going to talk to her about her new book and also the threat posed overseas.

And are we prepared for it in one minute?

This is the Glenbeck program.

So if you're in constant pain, I know what it is like.

Americans, we've got about 50 million people that are missing work due to pain.

50 million.

Now, Americans spend about $2,000 a year to combat their pain, and 66% take whatever it is they're taking, and they just expect it to be this way for the rest of their life.

They just are going to be in constant pain.

That's no way to live your life.

I started taking Relief Factor about 18 months ago, and I believe in it.

Now, there's a lot of people that will go and they do commercials for Relief Factor, and that's good, but they didn't need it, or they're not on it.

I'm on it, and I needed it, and I took it reluctantly because I didn't think it would work, and it does.

Relief Factor.

I feel the best I've felt in five years.

100% drug-free, created by doctors.

There's a three-week quick starts, $19.95.

That way, if it doesn't work in three weeks, it's not going to.

So take it for three weeks, as directed.

You take it.

70% of the people who order that order more month after month after month.

I do.

18 months.

I'm still taking it three times a day.

Join me and get your life back with Relief Factor.

Tell them all I want is to wake up.

Tell them all I want is to feel.

I want to bring in our guest, Johnna Mendez.

She is the author of The Moscow Rules.

She is the former chief of disguise at the CIA.

And we'll get into some of her other things and how you know her in just a second.

First of all, Jonna, welcome to the program.

How are you?

Thank you.

I'm great.

It's good to be here.

So

you were the former chief of disguise, which the CIA, if I understand this right, didn't have

until they started watching the old Mission Mission Impossible series, and they were like, hey, Johnny, can we do that?

There was a disguise capability, but it was not dormant.

It wasn't

widely used, and it wasn't really well thought of.

It was my husband who really went in and stirred things up and started bringing some creativity to what we did with disguise, how we used it.

And

it became just an incredible tool.

So how come we weren't weren't using the ⁇ I mean, when you think of spies, you do now think of Mission Impossible, which, by the way, we don't have the masks like that, right?

We do have masks.

We watched Mission Impossible for years, sort of out of the corner of our eyes, while we were developing our own program.

What they show in Mission Impossible on screen is it's a lot of CGI, it's a lot of budging.

What we needed was something you could put on in 10 seconds and take off in five, and something that you could brief brief

someone in, something that animated, something that actually

was realistic.

And we developed that, and we used those extensively.

And the guy who was first did the work on Planet of the Apes, is he the guy who helped develop the

masks with you?

That's where it began with us.

His name was John Chambers.

He was the first Hollywood makeup expert to get a star on the Walk of Fame, to get an Oscar.

He did Planet of the Apes.

We didn't want to turn people into apes, but we were really interested in his technology and his materials.

That was really the beginning of our mask program.

We went way past what they do in movies.

They have lights.

They have retakes.

They have all kinds of opportunities to make it right.

We had one shot when we're using a mask on the streets of Moscow.

And

it had to be difficult because without lights and masks and heavy makeup and everything else, that sometimes, you know, when you see people

in heavy makeup, et cetera, it's very obvious and it would be really difficult to make it look real and not like a rubber mask.

Well, the parameters of our mask, you had to be able to put it on in a parking garage, in an unlit parking garage, and get out of the car and know that it was perfect, that it was aligned, that it was registered, that it was on, and that it would not draw any attention.

With the hair and everything.

So with the hair and everything, you would just pull it over your head like a stocking cap?

Not quite like a stocking cap, but yeah, you would pull it on and you would pull it off.

I stood in front of George H.W.

Bush in the Oval Office when he was president.

I was wearing one.

I had just briefed him.

I told him I was there to show him a new product.

He said, well, he looked at my hands.

He looked around.

I didn't have a bag.

He said, well, where is it?

And I did a Tom Cruise reveal, actually.

I put my finger under one side of it and just peeled it off of my face.

And

Brittany Broker was there.

John Nunu was there.

Bob Gates was there.

And they were all incredulous

at how good it was.

Oh, my gosh.

You and your husband also are the author of Argo, which was made into a movie.

You went in, or

your husband did.

You did not go in, did you?

I did not.

I watched from the sidelines, holding my breath.

I bet.

Tell me a little bit.

Tell me about that in case anybody doesn't know about Argo and what you and your husband were involved in.

Well, Tony Mendez was an artist.

He was hired as an artist by the CIA.

He had a very creative mind.

And when the Iranian Revolution happened and 60-some Americans were taken hostage at our embassy after it was overrun, six escaped out a back door.

They were on the streets of Tehran, didn't know where to go.

The Canadians, bless their hearts, took them in.

And the Canadians held on to these American, we called them house guests, they called them house guests.

They kept them for 84 days.

But someone had to come up with a way to get them out of the country.

And Tony, with his connections to Hollywood,

came up with an idea of disguising them as a Hollywood location scouting party looking for just the right bazaar for their movie.

He said, everyone knows that Hollywood is a little bit crazy.

This was a plausible cover, they thought.

So Tony went in, gave them all their new bios, their new names, their new histories, their new backgrounds.

He said, learn it.

Learn it.

You have two days.

And he walked them out through the Tehran airport, through the Revolutionary Guards with their trigger finger

attitude with their guns at their side.

That airport was a dangerous, dangerous place.

Walked them out.

And everybody went home safe and happy.

And we still see those six house guests.

We still see them maybe once a year.

We bump into them frequently.

I just got a letter from one saying, How many times can we thank you for saving our lives?

That's amazing.

It's amazing.

And it's amazing to me.

You were in Moscow, the Moscow rules,

which

means what exactly, the Moscow rules?

Well, I gave a book talk last night in Seattle, and the chief of station Moscow, the CIA chief of station Moscow, who is in the book, was at the talk last night.

He said that one rule that you put in,

float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

Before Muhammad Ali picked that up

as a motto, that was the CIA station in Moscow.

That was our mantra.

And Jack was very pleased to see that it was in the book.

They are rules of comportment.

They are rules of behavior when you're smothered

with surveillance, but you still have to communicate with the Russians who are providing us with intelligence.

What are you going to do?

These were the rules that allowed you to stay safe.

to keep your agent safe, most importantly, to keep the agent safe.

Because if you were found out, you would simply be thrown out of the country and embarrassed with newspaper photos.

But if that agent was exposed, and that's what they wanted, was the agent, he would be arrested, taken to Lubyanka, he would be executed, he would be shot in the back of the head.

They did it over and over and over.

And when Aldrich Ames, that huge Aldrich Ames case, the treason of the CIA officer,

about a dozen Russians were arrested and killed because Audrey James exposed them.

So

do we have Moscow rules now?

I mean, if I understand this right, it's rules that we all kind of play by

in some regard,

where we don't have those rules anymore.

Or is that just basic spy etiquette and Moscow rules are different?

These rules will always be morphing and changing as tactics evolve.

So in the new cyberverse that we all live in, I'm sure that there is a

technological bent to these rules now that was not there then.

But a lot of these are kind of evergreen.

One of them is don't harass the opposition, which means pardon me, but it means don't piss off your surveillance because they will come after you and they can do that.

They can bumper lock you.

They can smother you with surveillance.

There's an incident at the very beginning of the book that happened in 2016

where an American diplomat is trying to exit a taxi and walk into his American embassy at 3 o'clock in the morning.

He's attacked and he's beaten to a bloody pulp.

And he's medevaced out the next day.

He never could go back.

They broke his clavicle.

This man was really wounded.

When Tony Mendez, my husband, saw the YouTube video of that attack, Tony looked at me and said,

never harass the opposition.

They will get.

So we don't know what he did, but he really, really ticked them off.

So we're talking to Jonna Mendez.

She was former chief of disguise at CIA.

Her husband

was the lead character, if you will, I think played by Ben Affleck in Argo.

She was a CIA officer working on Moscow and and

other areas.

Looking at this, I'm sure you and your husband

have so much experience to be able to look at and say, here's what everybody's missing.

What poses the biggest threat to us right now, do you think?

Is it technology?

Is it China, Iran, Russia,

global warming?

What do you see as...

Is there a box for all of the above?

I mean, every one of those is a serious, profound threat.

Every one of them.

Every one of them is an opportunity to stumble into

or overexcite or react.

Every one of them is

a bomb waiting to go off if we play it wrong.

So

I don't know.

Putin's

a much more intricate place than it used to be.

Go ahead.

I'm sorry.

Putin?

What did you say?

I was going to say, Putin says that we're already in World War III.

The West just doesn't recognize it.

You know what I think is I think that we are still in the Cold War and that even the title of this book is slightly misleading because you could make a pretty strong case and it grows stronger all the time that the Cold War perhaps never ended, but that it just went dormant, that it just was

at a low burned for a while.

Yeah, I think this

the same people, they just changed uniforms.

Well, you and I are on the same page on that.

Yeah.

I mean,

that dawned on me about, I don't know, 20 years ago when we thought we won.

And then I went, wait a minute, but where did all the old communists go?

They just took off their uniform and started using different titles and put on a suit, and they're still running it.

I'm looking looking at a paragraph at the very end of our book talking about the Cold War and it says, the game has changed.

This is part of that great game.

It's become more of a contact sport, rougher, the rules more elastic, the prize more precious.

Putin's attempts to manipulate the U.S.

government have broadened the playing field and taken the game into new territory, the U.S.

political arena.

And we go on and talk about his goal of destabilizing the West.

And these Russian intelligence officers have tools that we could not have imagined 20 years ago.

The cyber tools, the digital tools.

Are we prepared for what we're facing?

I'm pretty confident.

We came out of the technical side.

The DDS ⁇ T, Directorate of Science and Technology at CIA, we were the queue.

We were the gadget guys, but we were much more than gadgets.

I think our technical expertise absolutely at least matches what they have and probably overmatches what we have.

America's power in that area is

profound.

Good.

I feel good that we can counter any threat that they offer and we can probably do some interesting counter-attacking on our own.

John Amendez, thank you so much.

She's the author of The Moscow Rules.

She was former chief of disguise at CIA, as she just said.

Her husband, Tony,

was really kind of Q

from the James Bond series.

The new book written by both of them, The Moscow Rules, worth the read.

Thank you so much, John.

Glenn, it was a pleasure.

Thank you.

You bet.

All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about X-Chair.

We break for 10 seconds.

In the first hour, we really went over

the debate.

We're going to get back into it.

I think Betto is done.

I think

Tulsi Gabbard had, I think, a good night last night.

Warren was okay.

Corey Booker was awful.

I know people are saying that he did well, but I don't think he did well at all.

I was with you on that.

I did grades him.

I gave Booker a C-.

Yeah.

But I would say the over,

you know, the punditry overall thought he did okay.

Yeah.

Thought he did well.

He was one of the winners of the night.

He's just such a solo.

He's a little fake to me.

I just can't take it.

But I think, yeah, you're right.

I agree with you on Beto.

Castro, I think, had a good night too, in that he,

you know.

Well, he became somebody that you were like, oh, he's running?

Yeah.

And that's what he needed to do.

That first debate is exactly the same.

Same thing with Tulsi Gabbard.

Gabbard, too.

People notice that she's the round.

Ryan, the opposite, right?

Like, people didn't know he tried to have a big moment against Gabbard and got destroyed.

Destroyed.

Now, I think he's much more.

you know, correct on policy there, but of course, that's a bad thing for a Democrat in a Democrat primary.

You don't want to agree with us.

Yeah, no, there were a few Democrats there that you would typically call like blue dog Democrats that, you know, stuck up for the free market system.

Delaney was pretty good on that.

A lot of people pointed that out.

But again, like, if you're, that's not necessarily a good thing for your future prospects in the Democratic primary.

Nope.

So that was there.

And I think the other guy, De Blasio, I think, made himself known that he was, he did what he had to do too, which was make noise, make people understand that he's actually running.

And by the way,

you could tell his strategy.

He will not let anyone to his left.

When he gets next to Bernie Sanders and Bernie Sanders says, I want to spend $3 trillion, he's going to say, I want to spend $6 trillion.

That is what he is just, he has no conscience as a human being, but also as a socialist.

So that is going to be intriguing.

And tonight, round two,

we move up to round two, and tonight should be very interesting to see how Joe Biden handles all of this because it was a marks-off.

last night.

It was who could be more like Karl Marx?

With an exception of a very few number of people, maybe three of them.

It was quite intense.

Okay, today also is an important day for the Supreme Court.

Yep.

We have two rulings out right now.

Yep, they're in the middle of announcing them as we speak.

There's five rulings total coming out today, four of them, because two of them are grouped together.

The two big ones are about the census and about partisan gerrymandering.

And then there's two others that are interesting but not necessarily been leading the headlines.

We're going to have Josh Hamron here in a second.

The census one is not out yet.

The partisan gerrymandering one just came out.

And it looks like it's going to be good for Republicans.

Yeah, I mean, really, the question here, of course, is about whether it's good for the Constitution.

Right.

Yeah, if you're playing politics right now,

the court, as I see this, is saying the federal court has no place to tell what states, what they have to do.

That all has to be decided by the states, which I think is good for the Constitution.

I think it's the right thing.

And as Roberts points out in the ruling, like, we're not saying this is a good idea.

This gerrymandering stuff is not a good idea.

However, Congress and states have the opportunity to draft laws that will correct it.

That's not for us.

It's basically

an idea saying, look,

we're not going to be an activist court on this.

So

I think that's the appropriate ruling.

Democrats aren't going to like it because right at this second, it's benefiting Republicans.

But that will change.

It can change at any time.

And Republicans are going to not like it in the future.

Right.

So,

you know, but at least the power has gone back to the state, which is important.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

He's going going to join us here in a second to break down everything you need to know about today's rulings.

Welcome to the program.

Today's a big day.

We're going to give you an update coming up on the commentary on last night's debate and prepare you for tonight.

If you missed this, we did a full hour, the first hour, and you can find it in wherever you find your podcast.

Just look for the Glenbeck Program podcast, and you'll be able to get our coverage on that.

I personally

thought it was fun.

You know, if it wasn't for the destruction of our country, you know, we could all enjoy it and have a good laugh.

It was Karl Marx at his best.

It was the Marx brothers, but just not Groucho or Harpo or

Geppetto.

I can't remember the other one.

It was definitely Geppetto, for sure.

It is, I think.

But it was definitely the Marx brothers.

And we'll talk about that coming up in just a second.

The Supreme Court has ruled on a few cases, and

some of them big.

We have Josh Hammer.

He is editor-at-large of the Daily Wire and watching these and has a quick understanding of what has come out.

They just came out a few minutes ago.

They have also reached a decision on the census question.

We're waiting for that to come out.

So, Josh, welcome to the program.

It's always great to be with you, Glenn.

Thanks for having me.

Yeah, you bet.

So tell me,

what did we find out today?

Okay, so we've got two opinions come out so far.

We're waiting on the big one, as you just said.

We're still waiting, I guess, hopefully any second now, any minute now, perhaps, to see that big census case come out.

Actually, you know what?

As I am live on the air with you, I see Ed Wheel and actually tweeting it.

Looks like

the secretary did not violate the enumerations clause or the Census Act and decided to reinstate that question.

Okay, so it looks like that case is going to come out in the Trump administration's favor based on the absolute latest I'm seeing on Twitter.

So

that's a huge win for the Trump administration, Glenn.

This is a big win.

In my opinion, it's a very, very legally straightforward case.

This was a practice that was on the census that obviously comes out every 10 years for over a century, was my understanding, going back to at least the middle of the 19th century, perhaps even longer than that.

There was a very, very lengthy history of the federal government asking some questions that are not strictly necessary to purely apportioning congressional districts on the census.

This goes back a very long time.

It was on the long-form version of the census up until 2010 when the Obama administration took it out.

So,

this is very legally straightforward in my mind.

This is a big win for the Trump administration.

And what does it mean?

Wait, wait.

What does it mean

to the states and to the left?

What does the reinstatement of this question mean?

What does it mean?

Why is it important?

Right.

So

the actual narrow legal reason why it's important is actually not super obvious.

It's actually very important for litigation under Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

A lot of the cause of action that fall under that particular statutory provision require very accurate data as to the citizens, not just the total person population, but the actual citizens, in order to bring a viable claim for voting disenfranchisement under that particular statutory provision.

But the broader kind of macro picture here, Glenn, as to why it's important, is it's important just for the federal government to have a sense, not just as to the total number of persons, including aliens, but as to citizens.

I mean, think about the Constitution, Glenn.

Think about the preamble.

Think about basic structural principles.

We the people, we the people who form this union,

we the people,

you know,

in the framer's conception of that, are thinking of citizens.

And it's kind of just, it kind of is a more symbolic ability of

the citizenry taking back their country and kind of getting back to the entire notion that the citizens created the government, not the other way around.

So

it's very symbolic here.

And the real reason why the left is going to go ballistic over this is?

The real reason that the left is going ballistic is that they think it is going to suppress aliens, both legal and illegal aliens, from responding to the census.

So they think that it will suppress response in such a way

as to not only might be, from their perspective, xenophobic, but also might actually potentially politically benefit more red states than blue states for purposes of the 2020 census.

It seems to me pretty unfounded, to be honest with you.

There are plenty of red states like our state of Texas, Clinton, that have a large

and illegal alien population.

It's not just California and New York here.

Okay, so let's go to gerrymandering, because that was the other one that came out.

Yep, so that was the other kind of big case that came out this morning.

Haven't had time to do more than a very quick skim of the opinion, but it looks, you know, this is a traditional 5-4 split.

It comes out along the lines that you would expect Chief Justice Roberts writes the opinion for the court, Justice Kagan files a dissent for the liberal bloc.

They're basically saying that this is not a judiciable case.

And this, to me, is very clearly correct.

Gerrymandering as a practice goes back literally to the beginning of the Republic.

The very term gerrymandering refers to founding father Elbridge Jerry.

And

another word, Glenn, for gerrymandering is politics.

The Constitution clearly grants the state legislatures the ability to draw congressional maps.

So if you want to change congressional delegation in your state, the way to do that, and the way that you've always had to do that going back to the beginning of the Republic, is to win elections at the ballot box.

And under the Constitution, under Article 3, which establishes the judiciary, you have to have standing.

And in order for you to have standing, you have to have a viable, what Article III refers to as a case or controversy.

And the Supreme Court over for cases for centuries, the seminal case was a 1992 case called Luhan.

There was a Joseph Scalia opinion, if I recall.

He kind of broke that down and showed exactly what you need for there to be standing.

There has to be an injury in fact, direct causation, and the court has to be able to redress it in a suitable fashion in accordance with traditional tools of equitable remedy the courts have had going back to English common law.

And this just clearly does not meet

that threshold.

I mean, we're talking here about torts or criminal law or a direct injury, but

a body of partisan Democrats or Republicans complaining that the other party gerrymandered them out of district is just so far removed from the case or controversy requirement of which the Constitution speaks.

So this seems to me a very, very clearly correct holding, and I'm excited to dig a little deeper into payments.

So this is one that I hate agreeing with because I hate gerrymandering.

And even Justice Thomas comes out and says that in the opinion that

Roberts, that

this is a really bad thing.

I don't agree with gerrymandering.

It's a toxic thing, but

the power is in the state.

It's not at the federal bench.

And so

as a libertarian,

I lean towards, yes, more power to the local than than the state and the least amount of power going to the federal government.

So I agree with it.

It's just that I disagree with gerrymandering.

And the Republicans are going to celebrate now, but there will come a time when they don't have control of the states and those things will be gerrymandered back.

And they won't be happy.

Yeah, no,

I think that's right, right?

I mean,

the two causes of action that kind of led to this case, though, one was out in North Carolina, where it was Democrats complaining, and then one was out in Maryland, where I believe it was the Republicans complaining.

So it's actually both parties who are having their complaints kind of dismissed here by the court.

I think you're right, Glenn.

I mean, from like a partisan perspective, if we're trying to like put on,

you know, if we're trying to channel what the Republican National Committee might be thinking, it would be short-sighted to think of this as a victory.

But from the perspective of someone trying to get the original public meaning of the Constitution right, I think it's a clear victory.

So, Josh, I'm looking, we're talking to Josh Hammer of Daily Wire.

I'm looking at this ruling on the census, and it's seemingly incredibly complicated and way above my intellect.

You could obviously, when you read this thing in full, it happened breaking here as we're on the air.

But it does seem that it says it's affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.

And we're seeing

the breakdown of it, there's several parts.

I mean, it's, you know, Roberts, the unanimous court on parts one and two.

Opinion of the court with respect to parts three, four B, and four C, which Thomas, Lito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh joined.

With respect to 4A, Thomas, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sodomier, Kagan, and Kavanaugh.

Like, it is, like, all over the board on all different parts.

And the summary I'm starting to see here is that they will not allow the census question to be on the 20...

on the citizenship question to be on the 2020 census, though it almost seems like they're going into the motivations as to why it was placed there in the first place.

I, you know, this is a, I mean, I feel like I'm in the middle of a, you know, like

a really bad episode of Law and Order in which they really don't explain things well.

So, Josh, I tell you what, instead of wasting time with conjecture, can we just cut you loose here and then have you read this and come back and tell us what you really think it means?

Sure, absolutely, guys.

How do you do that?

All right, so we'll cut you loose now.

You go and study that.

When you're ready, you just call us back and we'll get into the census because

right

now, Supreme Court blocks citizenship question of 2020 census.

But it is now changed.

That's not what the headline said just a few minutes ago.

Yeah.

So the ruling, it comes out because it says there's a

unanimous part of this.

But it seems like Roberts is just really pissed at the motivation behind it because there were some, you know, that they did this with politics in mind.

I don't know how that affects the Constitution exactly.

As he just pointed out, there's a lot of politics involved in our system.

Right.

But we'll.

Intent usually doesn't, isn't it?

I mean.

Yeah, right.

It's a weird one.

So let's go.

We'll get Josh back on here and we'll kind of follow this as we go to break and give you the breakdown.

But as of right now, it appears that the census question will be blocked, or excuse me, the citizenship question will be blocked in the 2020 census.

So I have to tell you, I had a conversation with

a guy who studies the economy for a living, and

we were talking about inflation and why we don't have inflation.

And I contend we do have inflation.

It's in the stock market.

That's the people who had the money, who could get these low-interest rate

loans, were the companies, and they could repatriate their money.

They could go and get low-interest loans

or zero-interest loans, and they could go buy back a lot of their stock.

Other people who had a lot of money could take their money and put it into the stock market, and it was

going up,

and everybody's jumping on this bandwagon, and I don't think any of it is real.

He disagreed, and I want to get into that

with you later, but I will tell you this.

If you watched the debate last night, the free market system is over if these people get into office.

It is.

They're stating it.

That's not hyperbole.

Take them at their word.

They're saying that.

So what does that mean?

Well, that means real trouble on the horizon.

I want you to call Goldline and find out if Gold or Silver is right for you.

Gold is going up.

Gold or silver now with the new IRA options and the secured storage facility and their portal for online trading.

Your portfolio can change dramatically easily with Goldline at goldline.com.

I've been a customer of Goldlines for, gosh, I think almost 15 years.

They've been a client of mine for, I think, 10 years.

Goldline.com.

Call Goldline at 1-866GoldLine.

1-866GoldLine or Goldline.com.

We have our 12-score and three years ago pop-up museum.

This is very different than anything that we have ever done before.

We want you to learn from history.

That's the reason why we keep history, is to be able to learn from it, correct the mistakes of the past, correct the errors through original documentation of

modern-day historians, but then use that as a map to see what's happening today and where we should go.

This is a very powerful presentation.

I've been very, very nervous about it until last night.

We had about 250 leaders of the community, and believe me, not all of them agree with me.

And

we were correcting history and showing the truth.

For instance, there's a section on slavery in America that shows the census of the Native American reservations, where in I think it is 1880, it might be 1870,

one out of every resident on reservation land was a slave owned by a Native American.

One out of every eight.

That's pretty stunning.

That's way higher, way higher than it was in non-reservation land here in America.

And the 13th Amendment did not apply to Native Americans, and they stopped it later than we did.

We show the pictures of the white slaves, and these are, you know, it wasn't the bulk, but we also show the actual numbers of the slave trade but we do these things to show you the patterns to be able to correct the history and show you the patterns of history and

when you come to the clan section

and the clan the uniforms and all of their tactics and the

lynchings and everything else that is pretty dramatically staged right behind that is the ISIS

members, and it is actual uniforms taken from dead ISIS members and their masks

that they always wear when they're beheading people, and the orange jumpsuits from a couple of slaves that were rescued by the Nazarene Fund.

And when you see the,

when you, when you look at the past and then today,

you cannot help but realize

we're repeating the same mistakes and nobody's paying attention.

And I urge you, when you go to church or if you're in a church group and you're anywhere near this, bring your churches because it is the churches that stopped slavery last time.

And these are Christians all around the world that are being horribly persecuted.

And it's our responsibility.

If you want to be a part of the people that will be remembered in history as really woke,

make sure you come and bring your family to 12 score.

And three years ago.

You can get your tickets now.

It opens this weekend, runs through next weekend, mercury1.org.

That's mercury1.org.

Tim Poole is joining us next.

I'm Hillary.

That's your four-minute buzz.

And now here's Glenn and Stew at the last hour of the show.

Very excited, by the way, to be cruising, hopefully, with everybody who's listening.

We're going to

great locations,

Italy, Greece, Croatia, Israel.

It's going to be amazing, Glenn.

It's going to be be amazing.

Yeah.

And the great thing is, is that you can

pay for your deal.

You just put it down, payment down, then pay for it for the month, you know, every month until you get there.

You have a year to do it.

We're going next spring.

It's all inclusive.

All the airfare, all the tips, all the food, all the drinks, everything.

You don't need to bring a dollar with you.

So come, come sail away with us and learn the history of these lands.

Learn our true history with the experts, including Bill O'Reilly, Rabbi Lappin, David Barton, myself.

It is really going to be remarkable.

And walk where Jesus walked.

Walk where Leonardo da Vinci walked.

Join us, comesaileaway.com.

That's come saileaway.com.

Go there now, book, and get the early bird special still.

Tim Poole is coming up on the program.

It's going to be really cool.

Right around the corner.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

We're going to continue our coverage of the debate last last night and prepare you for tonight's debate.

Also, we're going to go over the Supreme Court rulings coming up in the next half hour.

But I stand by that what Project Veritas uncovered and what's happening with Google and YouTube and

Facebook, Instagram, what's happening here is the biggest story of the year.

And I think it might be one of the biggest stories of my lifetime because of the consequences.

No one is truly tying all of this together and looking at how we are starting to

run up against a big brother

that will not only control what you see, but control how you feel and

how you navigate, where you go, what you buy, everything,

in many cases, without you even knowing it and we're here now it may be too late to turn it around but what are the ramifications even for free elections and free thought and free speech we have Tim Poole an award-winning American journalist political commentator and an extraordinarily independent he's been on the receiving end of some of this and he's a guy who truly understands it see if he can explain the real ramifications of what happened with Project Veritas this week and now with the Donald on Reddit.

We do that in one minute.

This is the Glimbeck program.

All right, Life Lock.

If you have ever used banking digital payment service to transfer money over,

cyber thieves have now found a way to steal from bank accounts by using that service.

Scammers are using a combination of spoof phone calls that make look like it's coming from your bank.

The hack text messages that they will send you,

they will break into your bank account, steal your money.

This isn't just happening with banks.

Stu ran into this with somebody calling from AppleCare, and it was the exact right number on the Apple iPhone.

It said Apple.

The phone call was coming from Apple.

Yep, and the number actually checked out as Apple's actual number.

I mean, these things are getting more and more advanced.

Yeah.

LifeLock detects a wide range of identity threats, like your social security number on sale at the dark web.

If they detect your information, they're going to send you an alert.

And if there is a problem, a U.S.-based restoration specialist is going to work to fix it.

Nobody can prevent all identity theft to monitor all transactions at all businesses.

Tim Poole, been a fan of yours for a while.

You are fair,

outspoken, unafraid, and you know what you're talking about more than I think almost anybody else in the media when it comes to what is really happening

when it comes to freedom of speech and censorship at Google and Twitter and Facebook.

Welcome to the program.

Thanks for having me.

So, do you agree that

what we're facing now, what's coming out, and most people in the media are ignoring with Project Veritas and everything else, that

this is

the beginnings of

an understanding of an an all-encompassing control on everyone's life and mind.

Yeah, absolutely.

And I got to say, it's astounding that I was a lifelong liberal and now having conversations about massive, powerful corporations

infringing on our lives and our rights with conservatives.

And throughout my life, all the liberals who were the ones challenging the corporations, even in the debate last night, bringing up all these corporations, where was the conversation about how Google and Facebook are controlling what we are seeing and hearing?

It's not coming from the left.

And you look at the mainstream press, I ain't using that term, but

there's a website called All Sides that tracks the biases of various sites.

And they straight up said the Veritas story has been largely ignored by left-wing media.

That's crazy to me.

Well, it's crazy also because, you know, where's the ACLU?

Where are people that

say they're for freedom of speech?

I disagree with, I mean, I vehemently disagree with Alex Jones.

I've been a target of his...

There's no love between us at all.

But I will stand for his right to be heard.

We can't do this.

I don't want any Marxist silenced.

I don't want any crazy person silenced.

What's happening, these organizations are not only silencing people by taking them off, but they are also doing, for instance, the Donald and Reddit.

They didn't remove them, they just removed them and put them in their own little special little ghetto.

And that eventually just decays away because you're not seen anymore.

Right, right.

I think the Donald,

I'm sure your listeners are familiar.

It's basically the biggest pro-Trump forum.

And what's particularly worrisome to me about this, they claim that it was taken down because people on the forum were making threats of violence towards police.

Well, I really doubt conservative Trump supporters are going to threaten police, but maybe, right?

And what's worrisome is that anyone can make an account, go into any forum, post whatever they want, take a screenshot and then wave flags and say, hey, look, ban them.

They're saying bad things.

If you're going to tell me that conservatives are making threats against cops, I'd laugh and I wouldn't believe you.

And so I'm confused.

Even the Trump supporters are posting photos of police saying we love cops.

That would never happen.

So how easy would it be for some activists to go in, make some fake posts, and then flag that to

administrators and say, hey, ban them now?

Well, first of all,

unless they have banned

Black Lives Matter and

Antifa,

they don't have a consistent case at all.

I'll tell you what.

There was a post on one forum.

It was a far-left forum, where they were saying that people should bring firearms to confront

a Trump rally.

And they said, hey, we better bring our guns to protect ourselves.

Now, for one, I'm like, okay, that's, you know, you have your second amendment right.

I can understand that.

But how is that not, you know, far left people saying there's going to be violence at this rally, so we should bring our guns.

That's okay with Reddit.

But, you know,

right, in this capacity, there's a bunch of better examples I could give than that because that one kind of gets close to like a two-way argument.

But it's an example, in my opinion, of double standards.

Because if you look at some of these left-wing forums, they all day call for violence and harm against other people.

So I talked to Dr.

Robert Epstein.

Do Do you know him from Harvard?

The Creepy Line.

I'm familiar, no.

Okay,

you should talk to him.

He's fantastic.

He started doing research.

He's a guy who voted for Hillary Clinton.

He's a lefty.

Not a lefty.

He's a Democrat.

And

he started doing research on Google because he wanted to see if they were swaying elections at all.

And he found real evidence

and said that it is much worse in the 2018 than it was in the 2016.

And he believes that they can, just through their search engines,

by the way they

give you answers to your queries and how they stack those things.

He says that 80% of undecideds can be swayed, and he has evidence that Google is doing it now.

Well, isn't that the same thing by saying your videos, my videos, Dave Rubin's videos, Ben Shapiro's videos?

When you go on YouTube and you'll find one of our videos, but then your other videos don't come up in the recommended.

It's something else, which they say they are doing right now.

That's the same thing.

That's the same thing.

It's a really interesting argument on principle for me.

You know, I don't believe that YouTube is legally required to recommend my content to anybody.

Right.

So I will, you know, I tell my listeners, listen, if you like my content, share it.

Otherwise, I don't deserve it.

But here's the thing.

If we then recognize that YouTube is, I believe they're like the largest media distributor on the planet, the second largest search engine, we recognize that.

And if they are specifically targeting certain perspectives, because I don't consider myself a conservative, I'm moderate slightly to the left.

But if they're going to take down someone like me or Gave Rubin or Prager University, and they're still going to provide recommendations to left-wing voices and mainstream media voices, well, then I understand, right?

I don't think that I'm I have I have the right to have my content promoted, but then you are going to see a massive shift in the perception of

Americans and the world because Google is feeding them specific ideology.

Correct.

Correct.

So I heard you speak earlier this week and and

and you were talking one of your videos about how you think it might be too late to get out of the beginning of this matrix.

Why you think that?

Well,

there's data published a couple weeks ago on Twitter.

I can't remember who the researcher was, but he took a look at LexisNexis data.

This is a big tracking company.

They look at stories going back to the 70s, and they tracked a left-wing identitarian ideological terminology, right?

It's kind of jargon, but basically far-left words,

like intersectionality, white privilege.

And around the beginning of 2010, there's a hockey stick on all of these graphs a massive skyrocketing I think this has to do with digital media companies who are not ideologically driven who discovered pissing people off

pissing people off results in shares which results in money so they end up hiring these activists to push this narrative this this ideology over and over again and we're at a point now where you look at some of these internal messages like what Veritas leaked where they refer to Prager Yu and Ben Shapiro Jordan Peterson as Nazis and you can see that these people have really been infected with what what I'd say a dogmatic ideology of some sort.

So now we're at a point where you have such a very a very large group of people who, I guess you can say,

have been indoctrinated through this algorithmic money chasing.

They're not going to let those views go.

Their world is built around this idea that's a fake reality.

How do you break that?

I don't know.

right?

Because these companies certainly aren't going to disappear overnight.

They are hurting now, the BuzzFeeds, the Foxes, et cetera.

But now, look at what happens with

these people are so entrenched in their tribalism that you have Donald Trump come out, what, years ago saying we have a border crisis, and it took two years for the media and the Democrats to finally recognize we actually have a border crisis, and now they're finally going to...

So because the media was so, you know, look, these media companies are making money off of this ideology, all of them.

You know, and it's infecting the bigger, more credible sources now as well.

Like the New York Times runs a front page story about one guy who watched YouTube videos to push some narrative about the far right.

It was complete nonsense.

So the New York Times is now hiring on these people.

They refuse to acknowledge reality, and that truly terrifies me.

And you know what's crazy is

I feel like we're too far gone at this point.

I mean, maybe it's a bit hyperbolic.

But when you look at the rhetoric we have, where we say, hey, these people are pushing things that are nonsense.

There's nothing we can do.

How do we stop this?

I mean, they're saying the exact same thing about us.

Oh, these people live in a fake reality it's like look you know i go i go on the ground i've been on the ground across the the world i talk to regular people they don't believe these weird things that you guys believe on the internet you know the far left but they live in that reality and now because all of these young people have started to pick up this this indoctrination through you know the voxes the huffington posts the buzzfeeds They're starting to work at the New York Times.

They're starting to work at NBC.

And they're weaponizing these media platforms to silence their political opponents.

So I'll add this very quickly.

I recently was leaked some information where I was able to publish an email from a left-wing journalist who accused essentially it sounded like they were saying Chase Bank was supporting the Proud Boys by providing basic financial services.

About a day after that email was sent, Chase cut off the personal and business accounts of Enrique Tario of the Proud Boys.

Look, you don't have to like the Proud Boys.

That's not the point.

The point is, these journalists know that bad PR is a weapon and they're using it for activist reasons like they're activists now it's not about sharing information it's about weaponizing their platform to hurt political opponents and it's only getting worse so you know when it comes to the issue of google i i look i look back to the same example of the border like trump said there was a crisis on the border everyone finally agrees for the most part you know cazio-cortez still doesn't but it took years to get to this point we have project veritas we have leaked video of sergey brin the co-founder of google saying he's deeply offended by the election of you you know, the 2016 election, and that Trump supporters don't share his values.

That was last year.

When is the media going to finally say, hey, it's not a conspiracy theory anymore?

Two more years?

Well, look, this censorship that we're seeing,

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I got to say, it's a damn perfect coincidence that the same day as the Democratic debates, the Donald gets quarantined so you can't find their posts anymore.

Project Veritas has basically been banned by all of the big providers, even Vimeo now, has banned their account.

Reddit's banned their account.

YouTube took down their video.

I'll tell you what's really crazy.

This is what freaks me out.

I made a video commenting on publicly available information that was reported on by BuzzFeed, by The Guardian, by just all of these major outlets.

They said Pinterest

has banned live action, this pro-life group.

So I made a video.

I commented on it.

YouTube took my video down without warning, without any chance to fix any problem, saying I was violating the privacy of the people in the story, even though the information was public, was on Twitter.

They took my video down.

So that I take great offense to.

I understand, you know, look, YouTube wants to argue that Veritas is violating someone's privacy.

I think that's ridiculous.

But the argument over when a name is newsworthy, fine, we can have that argument.

I still think Veritas is in the right.

But for me, we've stepped into an even crazier dystopia where the act of commenting on the information that was already made public is now being banned from the platform.

To me, that's scary because that means independent people, look, YouTube's the only game in town, right?

You're not going to get a million views on Vimeo.

You're not going to get a million views on these other video platforms.

YouTube has really monopolized the video space.

And that means if you want to reach people, YouTube's the only game in town.

They've dominated.

And they're using that power to suppress those that are critical of what's happening.

So I'll say this.

Here's what I think is happening.

We know the censorship has been going on for a long time.

I think this is partly due to the fact that in reality, conservatives are better at the internet than liberals are.

You know, they say the left can't meme.

So in response to this, we see these people at Twitter, at Facebook, at Google start taking down conservative content to try and rectify that.

We know what's happening.

Even Jack Dorsey has said conservative employees are scared to speak up.

Pinterest really,

James O'Keefe really cracked the case open with Pinterest's overt censorship of live action.

And you can see that Pinterest panicked.

They at first, when the story broke, they unblocked live action, but then immediately issued a statement saying, you know what?

No, we're going to ban them anyway.

I think that was an opening of the floodgates that emboldened all these other platforms.

So when Veritas comes out with the bigger expose, hey, Google, here's what their employees are saying behind closed doors, Google now says, you know what, screw it.

Regulation's coming anyway, knock them down.

I think they're at a point where they just don't care anymore.

Pinterest was the floodgates being ripped open where you can't deny it anymore.

And now Google says, you know what?

Let's just go for it.

Tim, I know we have a podcast scheduled with you in a few weeks, and I'm really looking forward to being able to have

some real time to sit down and talk to you about all of this.

I appreciate your time today.

Thank you so much.

Tim Poole, you can follow him at Timcast.

He knows what he's talking about when it comes to what we're about to face.

All right.

Patriot Mobile.

Okay.

Here we are talking about how people are using your money,

using you, your product, you as a product,

and none of us like it.

Well, what about Patriot Mobile?

Have you thought about your phone companies?

Because your phone companies, AT ⁇ T, they're giving money hand over fist to Planned Parenthood.

These phone companies are working against the things you believe.

And so every time you use your phone, you're actually helping fund the fight for abortion.

It's nuts.

Now, you could say, well, I'm not going to use those, and then what are you going to do?

Of course, you're going to use them because it's good service, right?

So you need something that has great service, has a great price, will save you money, and will make it flawless and seamless to switch over.

That is Patriot Mobile.

They don't give their money to left-wing causes.

These guys are patriots that believe in the Constitution.

They have already supported with $2 million free free speech just from starting this very small.

They take some of their profits and they turn it into,

you know, Second Amendment, pro-life, et cetera, et cetera.

You're going to get the same great service.

You're going to save money.

And this company actually is on your side.

Please switch right now.

We break for 10 seconds.

Next week, we'll have

Dr.

Robert Epstein.

I think it's Epstein.

I'm not sure.

But he's from Harvard.

And

Dr.

Bob.

Dr.

Bob from Harvard.

And

he is studying this.

And he said, we've got to raise money.

And he's talking lots of money.

We have to raise enough money to be able to have a

full United States monitoring on Google and the games that they're going to play in the 2020 election.

I'm telling you, I think these guys on the left, I think they know

they're going to win, not because of anything else other than the fact that they have YouTube, Google, Facebook, everyone, and those analytics are being changed right now.

Those algorithms are being changed right now

to silence voices like ours and heighten voices on the left, you know, those voices of justice.

That skews everything.

As we showed last night on television, Google can just by rearranging the search, which he has evidence they are doing,

just by rearranging the search results, they can switch independence by 80%.

I think he said it was from a 50-50 issue among independents, he can get it to a 90-10 issue either way, just by switching the order of results.

And he has evidence that Google is already doing this, that they did this, and influenced 72 million Americans.

in the last primary.

Yeah.

And this, I think, is two ways, right?

One is, sure, we have to fight back against the way these companies are handling their business.

We have to develop our own options, right?

Like, you know, some conservative billionaires need to start

designing real products that people want to use.

But in addition to that, we also have to have a fundamental conversation about principles.

So

back in just a minute.

Let me tell you about Car Shield.

There's a few things in life that can change your entire outlook on the day, like, you know, having two flat tires, which I did just recently.

Anything that's going on in your car.

Now, if you have a problem and it's covered, you know, you got a brand new car, it's covered, you're fine.

If it's not covered, it sucks.

If you ran out of warranty, you have a car that is 5,000 or 150,000 miles, doesn't matter.

If it doesn't have a warranty, you are in trouble when you have to go in to have something done.

That's why I have Car Shield.

They make the entire process of fixing your car for a covered repair super easy.

You don't have to worry about paying.

You can take it anywhere.

They pay the people directly.

Anything that is covered, you've got 24-7 roadside assistance, a rental car while yours is being fixed, all free.

Car Shield.

They are a great, great blessing for those of us who have cars that are out of warranty.

It's a great day to have Mark Skousen join us.

By the way, we're going to hear from Josh Hammer,

who is one of our legal minds that is following the Supreme Court.

He's going to give us the latest on what has been released today from the Supreme Court.

But Mark Skousen is on with us right now.

He is the producer of Freedom Fest, and I have been invited to speak at Freedom Fest,

and he is with us now.

Hi, Mark.

How are you?

Well, I'm doing great, Glenn, and it's glad to be on your show to talk about the big show in Vegas, Freedom Fest.

Okay, so it's in Vegas.

When is it?

It's a few weeks away, isn't it?

Yep, July 17th through the 20th.

It's a Wednesday starting the evening with our opening ceremonies and ends with our Saturday

program.

We've got the full schedule online at freedomfest.com, and we're expecting a couple thousand people.

We're very excited to have you.

Now,

these are libertarians, conservatives.

These are the people that are actually looking at the Constitution and trying to rule their life on constitutional things.

In fact, we do have a Constitution Day

with Douglas

Ginsberg, the

judge.

he's going to be covering that topic as well as 250 other sessions.

You know, Glenn, the whole idea of Freedom Fest, which I came up with over a decade ago, was we're losing this war for freedom mainly because we're all going our separate ways.

And I know you have tried your best to gather people together.

My idea is that once a year, all the freedom lovers come together in Las Vegas,

the entertainment capital of the world, and we come together to network, to socialize, to learn, to celebrate liberty.

And

you've been there before.

You came in 2015, which is when Donald Trump came, and we had 2,500 people there.

It was just standing room only.

Mark,

who do you have this year?

You have Justice Skinsburg, not Justice Ginsburg.

You have,

who did you just say?

Gorson.

Yeah, yeah.

And then you have me.

I know Penjillette is coming.

Who else is coming?

Well, we have Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank, and he's going to debate John Mackey, the CEO of Whole Foods Markets, about

the real purpose of business.

Is it

to make money or is it have a higher purpose?

And of course, John Mackey argues for a higher purpose in business.

And Kevin O'Leary says, listen, it's all about making money if you want a friend buy a dog.

So

it's going to be a lecture.

That's going to be a great debate.

But we do a lot of debates.

We're going to have a debate on

is eating meat

ethical and nutritional is one of our debates with John Mackey, as well as Joel Salatin, who's

the libertarian Christian farmer from Virginia.

We have John Stossel, George Gilder, Rich Lowry from National Review, Alan Dersowitz, and Randy Barnett are going to talk specifically about these recent Supreme Court decisions.

We have Steve Moore and Herman Cain, who both

were going to be nominated to go in the Fed, and we're going to ask them what would they have done if they had been nominated and became members of the Fed.

We have Candace Owens, the fiery black conservative who took on Congress recently.

It's really

a fun conference.

Well, I will be there.

And if you want to join us,

how do you get tickets?

So the best thing is to go to FreedomFest.com.

And if they register before July 1st, you get $100 off.

And it's really going to be a lot of fun.

I'm really looking forward to having you there again and to meet all of these people who are anxious to...

change you know my feeling is if we all gather together once a year they can't ignore us anymore, right?

That's the whole idea.

And if we can get as big as the NRA or what have you, you make a big difference.

So, Mark,

you're an award-winning economist.

And I don't know if you saw the debate last night, but

they're talking about ending the free market now in the Democratic Party.

Yeah.

How fast can this thing be dismantled?

Well, I think they're

these

the Democratic Party is trying to

distinguish themselves some way.

So the way they're doing it is by going further and further toward the cause of socialism.

I mean, let's call it what it is, and that's what your topic is going to be at Freedom Fest.

And, you know, I have to deal with this because I teach economics at Chapman University.

I've also taught at Columbia Business School.

And I write on the board, I say, okay, let's take this quote that sounds really good from each according to his ability to each according to his needs.

And I don't tell them it's from Karl Marx because I don't want to affect their bias.

And I said, just by a show of hands, how many of you upper middle class students at Chapman University, how many of you agree with this?

And I get about 75% who raise their hand and say, oh, it sounds really good.

And then I said, put your economics cap on.

and what happens to anybody who earns more than

the need the need level which for them was believe it or not 75,000 a year for these students I said what if you earn more than 75,000 well it's all taken away and it's put into this community pot so I said in essence what's the marginal tax rate under this plan and it's a hundred percent and once you once people once students get that and they get it right away suddenly they realize, oh, this isn't really a great plan after all.

And when you're through, I have 100% voting against it.

They say we don't want it.

So we have to educate our people.

And obviously, the Democrats who are running for office, offering free Medicare and

free college education and so forth, it all sounds very appealing until you realize it's going to result in extremely high tax rates, which is going to destroy what caused us in the first place to become a prospect.

Exactly right.

Mark, look forward to seeing you at Freedom Fest.

You can go to freedomfest.com, freedomfest.com.

I highly recommend that you come and I'm going to be there.

And

my topic is socialism versus the free market.

And I'm anxious to present that and we'll see you there.

Mark Skousen, thank you so much.

FreedomFest.com.

Yeah, I'll be coming along too.

Very excited about it.

You know, I just want to make the, I mean, you can hear it's a great festival and lots of great conversations.

You're going to be, you're going to be covering this from the blackjack table, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes.

You know, it's what do these dealers think about freedom?

I'm going to find out.

Right.

Okay, let me take a quick break.

Then I'm going to come back.

We have Josh Hammer.

He is the editor-at-large of the Daily Wire.

He's going to go over the rulings from the Supreme Court today

because

one of them, at least is very complex and we'll give you that coming up in just a second.

And it has John Roberts fingerprints all over the bad parts of it.

Anyway, relief factor.

If you're in constant pain, you're not alone.

There are millions of Americans who are just

like you, just like me.

Inflammation is so bad for the body on

a hundred different levels.

It's a cause of a lot of our disease, but it is absolutely the the cause of a lot of our pain as well.

If your pain is to the point where you're like, I just don't want to do this anymore, I just can't live like this anymore.

And you don't want to take narcotics, that just fog you up.

What kind of life is that?

Just, I want just a little even reduction in my pain.

Relief factor is the best.

I did not think it, I, you know, inflammation and all of that crap.

It's true.

It works.

And you take this.

This was designed by doctors.

It's 100% natural.

It's relief factor.com.

You take it three times a day.

You take it when you get up, middle, you know, for lunch, and then before dinner.

You take that, and 70% of the people who try it find,

like I did, dramatic relief, but you will find relief.

And if you don't, that's why they offer the three-week quick start.

It's $19.95.

If you don't find relief in three weeks, stop taking it.

If you find relief, take it.

70% of the people go on to order more month after month with Relief Factor at ReliefFactor.com.

Glenn back.

Tonight on TV.

No catastrophe is too catastrophic.

No apocalypse is too apocalyptic.

No sports questions are too

be answered.

I don't know what's going on here.

Glenn takes your calls live on the air.

The show starts at 5 p.m.

Eastern, so get in line a little early at 888-727-BEC.

Only on the Blaze.

Welcome to the program.

We have Josh Hammer on editor Large Daily Wire.

Asked him to go through the SCOTUS rulings today.

We started when we were on the phone about an hour and a half ago, and as the ruling came out, it looked like things were going in favor of Donald Trump for the census, but it's kind of a complex ruling, and it's not necessarily in favor,

although they can go back and

ask for

another hearing.

Josh, what have you found out on this?

Yeah, so apologies to you, Glenn, for the bit of fake news on the air earlier.

No, no, no.

Everybody, I mean, I looked up at the TV at the same time.

Everybody was reporting it that way at that time.

Yeah, you know what it reminds me of?

It reminds me of the big Obamacare case from 2012, right?

When Roberts declined to uphold the mandate on Commerce Clause grounds, and then like it only we found out like 10 minutes later that he was actually going on, you know, rewriting his attack.

So it kind of reminds me of that, and that's around what happened here, too.

I mean, this is just a total, total, total John Roberts special.

The whole opinion, to the extent I've been able to read it so far, just reads like pure John Roberts.

So basically what happened here is the court is saying that the executive branch's decision to reinstate the citizenship question on the census is neither a constitutional violation nor a violation of the Census Act, the statute that

you know, the actual operative statute that permits the government to impose the census.

What they do question, and Justice Thomas kind of gets at this, and Alito, who is quite angry in his separate opinion, gets at even harder, I think, what they do question is whether Secretary Wilbur Ross as Secretary of Commerce, whether his actual stated rationale,

his public rationale, mirrors his private motivations in such a way as to bring this in compliance with a separate statute, the Administrative and Procedure Act, which is kind of the governing statute for how all the various

bureaucracies of the government can promulgate and issue regulations.

So that's a lot of lawyer talk.

I know it's

what the hell does that even mean?

So they're saying that they can do it.

It doesn't violate anything.

They can do it.

But they don't like how they did it.

Yeah, that's actually exactly what it is, Glenn.

You just, you nailed it.

It's kind of an insane ruling, to be honest with you.

I'm still kind of fully wrapping my head around it.

You know what it reminds me of, actually?

It reminds me of how during the so-called travel ban litigation that culminated in the Trump v.

Hawaii case a year ago, how people were talking about how the president's public rationale didn't mirror

his tweets, like what he was saying during the campaign.

It kind of reminds me a lot of that.

This is just such classic John Roberts.

I mean,

if I had a Chief Justice John Roberts Hall of Fame, this opinion would be right up there with his Obamacare opinion as Carly Brown Jewels right.

He just twists himself into a knot to make sure that nobody is offended by anything.

So what does this mean?

So do they have to go do it a different way?

Or what?

If they didn't violate the Constitution or the law,

what else has to be decided

yeah I mean they basically are sending it back to the lower court to as far as I can tell essentially plead their case and prove that their motivation for making this is legitimate

it's nuts I mean like it's really nuts I mean like Thomas said that gets it right right on the very first page of his

It's a partial concurrence, partial dissent.

It reads more like a dissent.

But this from the first paragraph, I'll just read if you don't mind.

Justice Thomas says, our only role in this case is to decide whether the Secretary of Commerce complied with the law and gave a reasoned explanation for his decision.

The court correctly answers these questions in the affirmative.

That ought to end our inquiry.

And he's right.

Like, it is an insane proposition to inquire as to the private subjective motives as to whether these actors, Secretary Ross here, was acting in private good faith in a way that aligned with his publicly stated rationale.

But what are they accusing him of?

It reads kind of like a soft story, honestly.

It's kind of what we were saying on the air earlier about how a lot of people are worried that this will suppress census turnout and have drastic potential implications.

So are they accusing the Secretary of trying to suppress

the vote or to suppress

voices in the country?

I mean, what is it that

they're alleging?

I'm looking here at page 18 of Roberts' majority opinion, and he's talking about how

the Census Bureau predicted a 5.1% decline in response rates among non-citizen households if the citizenship question were reinstated.

So this is kind of what he's talking about here.

He's giving airtime to the complaints from the left that an incident question will actually dilute turnout.

And he's trying to

basically make sure that this is being done for

wholly legitimate reasons.

Right.

And they're saying basically, like, the government provided a wholly legitimate reason, but we think Wilbur Ross

had another one, which was just to suppress illegal immigrants.

And therefore,

we're just going to throw this back to the courts and let them try to re-argue it.

And my understanding, Josh, is basically they have a deadline, a self-imposed deadline, which we don't know if it's actually real, but they'd have to get this done because of all the printing and everything else that needs to be done with the census.

So they have a small window to essentially re-argue this.

Is that correct?

Yeah, that's absolutely correct.

And this strikes me as the kind of litigation that, because the timeline that you just mentioned, Stu, should be dramatically expedited.

I mean, I hope that

the government could get their day in court essentially tomorrow.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

Amazing.

Thank you, John Roberts.

Yet another fabulous pick by Bush.

Josh Hamer Daily Wire.

I think we'd be better if we had an actual Bush pick.

We just show it to like, you know, some sort of berry bush and just say, which one?

And the way the leaves blow, we would decide that's our next Supreme Court justice.
