Desperate for a Revolution | Guests: Pat Gray & Brad Thor | 6/18/19

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Well, the real Joe Biden has arrived.

And

I welcome him.

It could be

another

version of the Bernie Sanders train, which has gone off the rails.

It looks like he is peaked.

But Joe Biden had a few interesting things to say.

And this is at the beginning of his campaign trail.

We begin with Joe Biden in one minute.

How are you?

Very well, Mr.

Beck.

How are you?

Oh, it's, oh, it's just

great.

Joe Biden, we've got a lot to talk about.

I want to talk today about the border.

It's crazy what is happening on our border.

Why is no one talking about it?

We'll get into that.

I have to start, however, with Joe Biden on the campaign trail because he said a couple of crazy things.

In fact, Sarah, I want to start someplace different.

I want to go to his

part of his speech where he said that President Obama, the reason why everybody thinks the ACA, you know, the Obamacare thing is not working is because

I'll let him say it.

Listen.

Remember with the Affordable Care Act, because everything landed on President Obama's desk but locust at the time, he had no time to explain the Affordable Care Act.

Once it got started taken away, all of a sudden we have what we call in Southern Delaware, we had an alder call from all those boys.

An alder call saying, oh my God, I'm for health care.

I don't want to take away pre-existing conditions.

I want to make sure, et cetera.

And so you go out and you beat them.

You make the case.

Wow.

So wait.

So wait a minute.

He didn't, in eight years, he didn't have time to explain it because I remember a lot of explanations.

Yeah, a lot of them that didn't wind up being true, too.

He seemed to have plenty of time to tell us a bunch of stuff that didn't actually happen, like a $2,500 savings and that we would get to keep our doctors.

I remember all of those explanations.

I remember him explaining.

I think he was explaining another healthcare program.

I think that's maybe what happened.

Maybe what Joe is saying here is he was explaining another healthcare program.

He never got to the ACA.

He wanted to, but he was talking entirely about another one.

Because he not only had his eight years in office, he also was running for president for, what, a year and a half, in which he constantly was running on healthcare.

This guy

was not an efficient speaker.

That is

How many terms did he need to be able to explain this?

It's really quite simple.

I will say.

You either join or you're fined.

You can't keep your doctor.

It's going to cost you a lot more.

And all of the health care expenses are going to go up.

Can you imagine, though, if you get two terms of Joe Biden, how close he would come to explaining it?

I mean, remarkably close.

He would be right on the edge of the cliff of being able to explain that.

So So

Joe Biden showed up yesterday that I just enjoy because he's crazy.

You know, we always talk about the

soft-spoken Joe Biden that he's like, you know,

I think Americans would like to pay more in taxes.

I think it's a patriotic thing to do.

And

I'm here and I'm just a...

I'm just a lunch bucket Joe.

That's all I am.

I'm just a regular guy, just like you.

Okay, I hate that Joe Biden.

The one I love is the crazy one that says things like, Obama just didn't have any time to explain it.

You know, and if you go into a 7-Eleven, you're going to find nothing but Indians

running the joints.

Yeah.

I mean, I love that Joe Biden.

It's the same Joe Biden that explained to us that it was, that going to get Osama bin Laden was the most difficult decision in 500 years.

Yeah.

Like, first of all, like, the one that makes everybody, the one that is not left or right makes everybody go.

Wait a minute.

I thought that was a pretty easy decision.

I don't know what he's talking about.

Hey, the most, the world's most dangerous terrorist.

Should we get him?

Come back to me in five centuries.

Like, that's not it.

We've been looking for him for five years.

We've been at war.

We've spent about a trillion dollars.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'm, you know what?

You know why this is so hard?

I'm trying to figure out how to explain health care.

That's why I, should we kill, should we kill Obama or Osama bin Laden when I'm trying to work on Obamacare?

I don't know.

I don't know.

It's a tough decision.

Okay.

So yesterday, and I love this because this is truly Joe Biden.

And it's going to be interesting to see the two of these guys go head to head.

And

also to see the press.

Remember, the press was all upset.

All of the violence, any violence, any violence that happens anywhere in the world is going to be Donald Trump's fault.

Did you hear him?

What he's saying?

He's encouraging people to punch people.

Okay, all right.

I was with you on that.

I didn't like that when the president was like, you know what, take him out and beat the crap out of him.

I didn't like that.

However, He was not calling for a revolution, which Joe Biden, let's see if anybody in the press notices this one.

Here's what he said yesterday about a brass knuckle fight.

Joy, I know you're one of the ones that think it's naive to think we have to work together.

The fact of the matter is that we can't get a consensus and nothing happens except the abuse of power by the executive.

Zero.

Number one.

Number two, there are certain things where it just takes a brass knuckle fight.

There's no way to do it.

You have to go out and beat these folks if you don't, if they don't agree with you by making your case.

And that's what presidents are supposed to do.

Persuade the public

move people as to what's going on if you start off with the notion there's nothing you can do well why don't y'all go home then man or let's start a real physical revolution if you're talking about it because we have to be able to change what we're doing within our system

so so i'm trying to i i'm i'm i'm trying to decide is he because he's talking to religious leaders which i love i just love the fact that he's he's having this conversation with religious leaders.

So is he calling for revolution or is he, because if we don't give him the benefit of the doubt, he was calling for revolution.

But if we give him the benefit of the doubt, he was saying,

what?

Look,

there's no other option.

If you can't make the case, there's no other option.

Right?

Right.

He's saying that not necessarily he's rooting for some sort of

physical revolution.

He's just saying

we can convince them.

And if we can convince them, we don't need that.

That's never going to happen.

He's not advocating for it.

And of course, this is the type of analysis that the left would never give to Donald Trump or anyone on the right.

But I mean, the bottom line is I think you can make a fair point that he's not calling for it.

He's saying, like, I'm warning you of it, right?

There are people who will go to the city of the United States.

So he's a conspiracy theory.

That's what they would say about Europe for sure.

Right.

I just want to say that the headlines that are wrong, the headlines should be that he's a conspiracy theorist saying that a revolution is coming.

I mean, that's what they would say about you.

And did, by the way, say about you when you said this, because, I mean, you've said multiple times a very similar brand of analysis, which is, look, we can't, you know, there are going to be people coming and taking people out of buildings and

beating them in the streets, and we're going to see real strife.

How many times, we were just watching a clip of Andrew Wilkow from Blaze TV, who was highlighting all of these incidents where people are now walking up to women on the streets who happen to be Trump supporters and kicking them and punching them in the face because they're quote-unquote Nazis.

In fact, let's play that because I think this is really important.

Because what he's saying is, if you can't convince, well, they're done convincing.

Remember, the left is the one that's saying the conversation is over.

There's no more dialogue on things like global warming.

You are a denier or you're standing in the way of progress because of X, Y, and Z.

Remember, yesterday we played the audio that I want a

what would you call it?

I mean, really, a communist government.

This is the city councilwoman from Denver says she wants all shared property, all shared everything.

She was looking at a communist kind of way of life.

And she said, and I'm willing to fight for it it any means necessary.

So they are there.

Many of these revolutionaries are already there.

But let's just not say that without backing it up.

This is from Andrew Wilkow and his program on Blaze TV just last night.

You know, barely a day goes by where we don't see some sort of incident of violence or threat of violence from progressives.

Here's a quick reminder.

Highlight reel, if you will.

I asked the guy, guy, I said, Who did you vote for?

He said he voted for Trump.

So I took his turn.

Yes!

Kill her three-year-old child.

It's always nice to highlight pillars of the community.

It's remarkable

what is happening.

And then I want to show you the reason why a lot of this is happening is because, and I'm going to just be real frank with you, people are stupid.

That's why.

People think they know more than they do.

They think they're so smart and nobody has, everybody is filled with hubris and they have absolutely no

humility.

They think they know, and as soon as they are corrected, they don't know what to do because their whole world is about to fall apart.

We'll go there in one minute.

Constant pain, you are not alone.

In America, it's estimated over 50 million people miss work due to pain.

And people in America spend about $2,000 a year to combat their pain.

66% of us just figure we're going to live the rest of our life in pain.

I don't want to live that way.

I don't want to live without, I don't want to live without hope.

I don't want to live in a world where I'm like, oh, yeah, well, it's always going to be this way.

That's the problem with the country, is that we're thinking that it'll never get better.

It's not going to be better tomorrow.

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

And

I can testify to you that this is true because I take Relief Factor.

I take it three times a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I take it every day, and it makes a huge difference.

I've been taking it for about 18 months.

I have never talked to you about putting stuff into your body.

I don't like it.

I just,

I'm a freak on these kinds of things.

I never took Relief Factor.

They've been a sponsor for, I don't know how long, a long, long time.

And I wasn't taking it, and I wouldn't sponsor it, or I wouldn't endorse it.

I I decided to take it because my wife forced me to take it because I was at that point where it's like tomorrow's not going to be better.

And she said, please just try it.

So I did for three weeks.

And I'm taking it 18 months later because it works.

Go there now, relieffactor.com, order their quick start.

Try it out for three weeks.

70% of the people who try it continue to take it because it works.

10 seconds, station ID.

So there's a couple of things here.

We have Ami Horowitz going inside the Muslim Brotherhood, which

we have to get into in a little while.

But we also have from Campus Reform,

they went to Marymount University.

Cabot Phillips did, and he said,

I just want to read some statements to you.

And you tell me, is this Joe Biden or Donald Trump?

And he was posing as students against racist Trump quotes.

Listen to this.

First quote: You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.

Who do you think said that?

Trump.

Trump.

That sounds like a Trump quote.

Cool.

That's a big yikes.

But

I might say Donald Trump.

Uh, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump.

Next up, this was to a largely African-American audience.

Quote, if my opponent wins, they're going to put y'all back in chains.

Trump again.

Wow.

I still think that's Donald Trump.

Oh, definitely Trump.

Trump.

Donald Trump.

Joe Biden.

Next up, this was about President Obama.

He called him, quote, the first mainstream African American who was articulate and bright and clean.

I'll go Trump again.

Who do you think said that?

I think Trump said that.

Donald Trump.

What if I told you that all of those are actually Joe Biden?

All right, there it is.

Is that surprising?

Yeah, very.

That's crazy.

Is that surprising?

Yeah.

That's not.

Oh, oh, that's bad.

Is that surprising to you?

Yeah, I mean, they're all pretty racist.

So,

really good oh well that's surprising that's really surprising why is that surprising

I've never heard any of those things before so the fact that you told me that now I'm like damn is he really who he say he is I don't think that's something I want to really support would this potentially impact your vote of course Why is that?

Well, I mean like since I thought all that was Trump like I thought like that was gonna be a slam dunk But apparently, you know, I gotta reconsider that.

So, I'll just look more in-depth, really.

Would these quotes potentially lead you to another candidate?

Yeah,

definitely, absolutely.

Personally,

probably.

I would have to really do my research.

Yeah, I think it would.

Interesting.

At least they're being consistent there.

So, what does that, what does that show you?

What do you take away from that besides the, oh, that was fun.

Look at the dummies.

Well, first of all, it was fun.

Look at the dummies.

But second of all, I would say

it's one of those things where forget the fact that obviously the double standard on what is racist, speaker or not,

is a big problem here.

I mean, you know, this is a great example you brought up as well,

the talk about revolution.

And this is one of the most clear ways the media is actually biased in which they believe Joe Biden is a good guy, so therefore they don't assign negative intent to his statements.

And the same thing here with the racism stuff.

They believe Joe Biden isn't racist because they like him and they think he's a good guy, so therefore those statements aren't problematic.

May I disagree with you just a bit, and I'd like to hear your opinion on this.

I'm not sure that they do like him.

I think they like him as much as they liked Hillary Clinton, you know, in 2006.

He's just a vehicle.

He's not.

They'll take him down the minute

they feel they can because they have another option.

I think you're right on that.

I think that they don't want to destroy him right now because they think he might wreck.

And they see, and this is not how I feel, obviously, but they see the media, like the media sees itself as a problem as to how it treated Hillary Clinton.

They think, this is serious, they think they were too tough on Hillary Clinton in 2016, and it's one of the reasons why Trump won.

Now, I know that feels like a completely different world than it it is.

It's D.C., it's New York, it's the media.

But that's how they see that and how it played out.

So they're very careful here.

They will destroy Joe Biden if they can get someone else who they see as better, more to the left than Joe Biden.

They don't want Biden to be the left.

If Joe Biden were close to everybody else, they would be torpedoing him right now.

But because he's so far ahead in the polls and looks to be the only guy guy that could beat Donald Trump, they are not going to go after him.

Yeah.

They did a little bit, and his poll numbers really are the same, and it doesn't look like Joe Biden's going anywhere.

And so they're going to back off on him.

But

what I found was the most important part of this was when she said, I haven't heard any of that.

Yeah.

I haven't heard any of that.

Yeah, that's fascinating.

And again, these are not even new quotes.

Now, the media gave him a huge break because he was essentially

Barack Obama's vice president.

So he had a clear ride through a lot of that.

But I think

piggybacking on what you're saying is the most important thing, Glenn, the fact that they didn't know this, is another thing which shows why they're all Democrats, why they're all socialists, why they believe every Republican is a racist.

The second they hear the quote, they actually all change their minds about Joe Biden.

And that's, I think, actually worse.

Like, you don't know the context.

You have no idea what's going on.

You're going to change your opinion on a man from a quote that's completely out of context from a person you don't know who does have an agenda?

Like, that is a

huge problem.

The research needs to be done, you need to have principles.

These things can't just be these flippant decisions, and that's the bigger problem.

So,

here's the thing:

this is why they're silencing voices, this is why they must put Steven Crowder out, they must put

Mark Levin or anybody else.

They must put them out of business because once you you hear the facts,

you change.

Once you hear, I mean, look at what's happening with Bridget Fettesy.

If you've been watching her or following her transition, it's remarkable.

She tweeted yesterday,

I always hated myself.

And now I realize, Because I was liberal,

she is really, she's doing the work and she's realizing I'm not that.

I'm not sure what I am, but I'm not that.

That's why you've got to shut down speech and thinking.

If you hit critical thinking, it all falls apart.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

So research suggests that most businesses take up to 197 days to notice a breach in their data.

Whoa, wait, what?

This is why cybercrime is exploding.

In 2015, the estimated cost was $3 trillion,

and that is forecasted to be $6 trillion by 2021.

$6 trillion

gone

because somebody has hacked into data.

There are many ways that cyber criminals can take what is yours.

When personal information is exposed, someone can use it to commit identity theft.

That's why there's Life Lock.

They see a wide range of identity threats.

Now nobody can monitor all transactions at all businesses, et cetera, et cetera.

So glad that you are here.

Welcome to Pat Gray from the Pat Gray Radio Roundup, which you can hear as a podcast every day, live as he records it.

Pat Gray Unleashed,

and that's happening on the Blaze every day, precedes this program.

16 Center.

It's downloaded as a Posca.

7 to 9 Eastern.

What is it, Mountain?

Thank you.

It's 5 to 7, Mountain.

Okay.

And

4 to 6.

I'm in Hawaii.

When do I tune in?

I think 3 in the morning.

Yeah.

And a lot of Hawaiians.

If I were in Tibet and I was the one with the outlet,

it's going to be 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

3 o'clock in the afternoon.

You don't even have to get up early.

You bet.

Wow.

That's great.

That's where you should be able to get to it.

Actually, Tibet's going to be 3.15 because

they're.

Really?

Yeah.

Like 9 hours and 15 minutes ahead of us.

15 minutes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So let me ask you this.

Because God seems to target,

you know, like trailer parks and things like that when he, you know, throws down a tornado.

is God trying to kill Jeffy that's what I'd like to know there does seem to be a lot of evidence pointing this direction man he they really are hammer Jeffy

I got a I got an email from him what yesterday I think that said

hey really bad storm you know and a tornado in our neighborhood and I lost part of my roof and I was like oh man you need anything blah blah blah and and uh then I never hear from him again and I stopped thinking about it because I've lost part of my roof in, you know, in a storm here in Texas, too.

Like, you know, they'll have to come and replace some of the shingles.

Apparently, that's not

the kind of I lost part of my roof.

He literally had the tornado rip part of his house off of his house.

Yeah, where the elements

were pouring in.

Yeah, the elements poured into the rooms where they lost the house, and those are all severely damaged.

And then a tree fell across across his neighbor's driveway, and he lost his fence.

They're living in a hotel, it's not even livable.

So, yeah, they got hit hard.

Well, he sent a picture this morning where a board from his fence blew apparently so hard it went through the wall of his bedroom

right by his headboard.

Again, God sending messages to tell you, God.

Yeah.

And you can actually, from the inside, see the hole that was made by a board coming through the wall.

That is like twister-level

crazy.

Yeah.

Yeah, I remember my grandfather talking about, you know, he lived in Nebraska and Iowa, and he said, we talked about the tornadoes, and he said, I saw hay driven through telephone poles.

And it's an amazing

tornadoes are just frightening as heck.

And they will do, I mean, we've seen it when we went up to Moore, Oklahoma.

You remember that?

It takes a house and just makes it into a mulch.

It's an incredible force of nature.

And it met its match with Jeff Fisher.

It could not lift him out of the house, though.

That is the good news.

It could not lift him.

His entire family clung to him, and so they were all safe.

Wow, that's amazing.

Yeah, it's incredible.

It's an amazing story.

So that's.

Do they cling to him, or did he just say, hey, take one of my shirts or a pair of my underpants and use it as a safety you know i didn't i didn't get the

details i just i just know that because the tornado couldn't lift him everybody was was hanging on to him for dear life so

can you share the picture because i i didn't get the picture

i can't download any pictures up here in the mountains you know god forbid that you could actually have communication systems in a place like this i doubt he has we have a satellite we have a giant satellite sitting in our front yard,

and yet I can't.

So we can be on

television and radio, but I can't download a single picture.

Maybe you should

put it on television so I can see it.

Well, yeah, okay.

I can try to do that.

I don't know that we have approval, but again, Jeffy's sort of an overture, so I doubt you care.

Yeah, who cares?

So what did it, we have to get him on the air.

In fact, why don't we take a quick break and see if we can get him on the air?

Do we know where he's staying?

I don't, but he's got a cell phone, so it doesn't matter.

Okay, so yeah, so let's call him

because I'd like to know where were they when this happened and what did it sound like?

Yeah.

Okay.

And we'll give him a call here in just a moment.

They probably just thought,

yeah, we'll take a quick break.

They probably just thought, you know, it was dad's stomach that he was hungry.

Probably.

That was that roar was coming down his house.

That kind of noise.

Yeah,

something like that.

All right.

Nobody likes to be manipulated, especially when it's done on the internet.

It's creepy when you do a search online, and then all of a sudden all the ads and the stories and the companies are trying to sell you something exactly what you're looking for.

It's convenient, but remember how creepy that was?

Remember when we used to be like, they're reading our email?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are.

Okay, well, I'm over that now.

They're listening to us on Amazon.

They're listening to us.

They're listening to us with Google.

Nah.

Yeah, okay, we are.

Sure.

And now we're over it.

It's creepy.

So Jeffy

was not sucked up in a tornado, but his house was.

He was in the house.

Lucky for him, he has gained all of that weight back and then some.

Wait, what?

Welcome, Jeff Fisher.

Wait, what?

What does that mean?

It means that you had enough girth to be, you know, sort of anchored as the tornado blew through your home.

Now, I don't don't have a picture.

I know you sent a picture, but I don't have a picture.

I don't have it in color.

I was able to download this picture of the scene.

And you see his family hanging on his belt

and the tornado with the house and even the witch on the bicycle behind him.

Wow.

That's the scene

as captured by Kodak.

I'm sure that's an authentic picture.

Yeah.

Well, it's not in color, obviously, because he's in the mountains mountains and can't download it completely in color.

So anyway, how are you, Jeffy?

I'm fine.

Thank you.

Everybody's fine.

It was certainly scary at the time, that's for sure.

I haven't seen where they actually said it was a tornado in my area.

It was up and down this entire swath that the storm went.

And it was definitely a tornado.

I mean, I watched it out my back door standing in the kitchen with my daughter as the rain went left

as it went from going straight down to left and then went back to the right and then went back to the left and between that time my partner

blew off.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And then between that time the roof fell off so he doesn't have any hair so it's absolutely Joe Biden.

So so Jeffy, I mean, were you guys just in the kitchen or

in a safe place?

We were backing up into a safe place.

I mean, during the whole time, I mean, it was just like that's this is a tornado, and it's not good, and then it was over.

I mean, that's how if it was a bigger tornado, you know, I mean, more of the house would have been torn up, no question.

But, I mean, all the fences in the neighborhood is blown up.

Tree in the front yard snapped about four feet from the ground.

That's in the neighbor's front yard.

But that wind could not move you.

No, you're absolutely correct.

It did not.

The room that I was in is important.

There's no leaking.

There's nothing there.

Everything is fine.

And my daughter was saying, boy, it's good.

I'm with you.

Right.

Hanging on to your belt.

Right.

Yeah.

Hanging on to your belt because it's like that scene in

that scene in Twister where they're hanging on to the

belt around that pipe.

The belt around the pipe, yeah.

That was good to be be except it was a bigger pipe.

Yeah.

So what did it sound like, Jeff?

It was just, it was more, I mean, I know a lot of people talk about, you know, sounding like a train or whatever, but it was just loud wind.

You know, I mean, it was just, you feel that, you hear that loud wind.

And it's gone in, I mean, it was not

a minute.

You know what I mean?

Maybe, maybe a minute.

I mean, not even for

the main part of that, the wind and the storm was maybe a minute.

I mean, I guess maybe two.

It just seemed like it went on, and then it was gone.

Then it was just raining.

And water started to leak through the upper roof,

upper rooms.

I mean, the ceiling has fallen through, and one room and the other room is about ready to go.

Oh, man, that is terrible because you had just gone to Best Buy and bought all those really expensive electronics, remember?

I do.

And all that new bedroom furniture, and all that.

What happened to that really expensive piece of art that you just bought?

That was blown out, right?

It's gone.

Wow, wow.

Everything under the insulation is all brand new electronics.

That was brand new.

Wow.

Wow.

Jeffy.

You sent a photo of what appears to be a board sneaking its way almost through

your head while you were sleeping.

We have this picture.

I mean, like, legitimately, you can see a board pushing its way through the edge of the wall from the outside.

I mean, it looks like something from Twister.

Yeah, the

behind our side wall of our bedroom is, you know, obviously just fencing and yard.

And you can see where pieces of wood, I'm guessing pieces of fence, were slammed up against the side of the bedroom, and two or three of the pieces.

smashed through the wall.

One came all the way through, smashing into the headboard of our bed.

I mean, that's what stopped it from coming all the way in.

So I tell you, Jeffy, and I mean this sincerely.

I mean, you had a heart attack earlier this year.

Now you're going through this.

I thought God was probably trying to kill you with a heart attack, but is it just possible that he's just trying to stop you from procreating anymore?

It is possible.

Yeah, it is possible, Glenn.

You could be right.

Yes, I could be.

Okay,

it's been a really tough year for you, Jeffy.

Sincerely,

it's been an awful year for you.

You know,

it's fine.

Don't worry about it.

Everything's fine, Glenn.

Don't worry about it.

Oh,

none of us were worried at all.

I hate to give you that.

No pressure.

We're just noticing.

Did I just did I misinterpret that?

Sorry.

I apologize.

Yeah, no, there's no concern here on our part.

Okay.

Yeah, no, the house is fine.

When they refit after they fix it and the foundation is fixed, it'll be fine.

There's one big pillar, there's one pillar that goes to the top of the trailer that's completely off.

I mean, it's about halfway down, and I'm not even sure how long the house will be livable for a while.

I will say, Jeffy, this is one of those moments where you celebrate the joys of renting.

I know.

I mean,

because Jeffy, because

I would rent it for the rest of my life if I could.

And I swear, like renting, and you have one of these things come down.

I mean, look, you've got a situation to deal with

with no doubt, but not having to go through and deal with all the insurance companies, all this other stuff, at least you have some of that shielded from you in this particular situation.

Yeah, a little bit, a little bit.

There's no question about that.

But I mean, you still gotta, you still have to go through it and try to get the house livable or move again.

Yeah.

Well, the fact that you just bought 320 Apple

iPads and

wide screen TVs, and you put them all under the bottom of the camera.

It didn't suck up all that gold

that you just purchased, did it?

But I will say the Liberty Liberty Safe did stand tall, so no problem.

It did it.

Did it?

Yes, it did.

Did it?

Yes, it did.

Now, Jeffy, this is not going to be.

We're hanging on to you as well.

That's funny.

It is funny, right?

That's funny.

It's funny.

Yeah, it is funny.

Now, Jeffy, this is not going to prevent you from hosting this tour of the museum that we're doing together coming up in only 11 days, right?

I can still depend on you for that.

Sure.

Because I won't be able to make it, so if you don't mind taking the lead on it, I appreciate that.

Yeah, sure.

Absolutely.

I should be back to that.

I should be back to one of the fastest growing podcasts in America, Chewing the Fat, very soon.

Now, take your time.

Take your time.

Don't rush.

Don't rush to get back.

You sure?

Any idea how long it's going to take to get the house livable again?

I really, no, no.

No.

I mean, I had the electricians were out yesterday, and he was like,

you can turn the AC on.

I I mean, I would if I lived here, but you probably shouldn't.

Okay.

Okay.

Sincerely, Jeff, we have, I mean,

sincerely, we have extra rooms at our house that are sadly in use, but Pat has plenty of room.

Which I told him last night,

which I told him.

And he's like, oh, no.

We'd rather be at the Motel 6.

That's.

Or something to that.

Sincerely, Jeffy, you know, you can stay at our place.

I know Pat is sincere about that as well.

Stu doesn't watch anywhere near his place.

No, no, no.

I would rather know where.

I'm not even offering.

I'm not even going to play the game.

I'm not offering it under any circumstance.

That's good because I'm not going to feed you.

I'm not going to feed you.

No.

I mean,

it's not like we're built dead.

And you'd have to bring your own sheets because I don't want you to land on pine.

But I have a covered area for my carport that you guys could live under for a while to live.

You guys are so

thoughtful.

I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much.

Oh, that's awesome.

It means a lot.

Yeah.

My family really appreciates it.

And it's so typical, your luck for this to happen right after you buy the Picasso.

I mean, it's just

what are the odds of that?

Thank you.

What did you pay for that?

There's no ring million, except

there's no record of that except for the three of us.

But he'll testify on your behalf.

Thank you.

All right.

Thank you so much, Jeffy.

We're glad that you and the family are safe.

These tornadoes, if you live in an area where you don't have tornadoes, you should be grateful.

They are terrifying.

They are really, truly terrifying.

As is Jeffy.

That's a good point.

Well, only if he's hungry and you're around and you look marbled.

That's true.

Chew in the fat with Jeff Fisher.

Search for it on Apple Podcasts.

This is the Glenbeck program.

There is a ton to talk about.

Joe Biden and his insanity on the road yesterday.

Oh, you know what?

You know what the problem is with the Obamacare Act?

Barack Obama didn't have enough time to explain it.

That was the problem.

Oh, okay.

All right.

Sure.

Also, we have one of the Parkland survivors used the N-word when he was 16.

He's now been kicked out of Harvard.

Is this the world we're living in?

Is this the world you're comfortable with, mom and dad?

Also,

we started something yesterday where

I want to preserve...

the books and the movies and everything else that you think tell the American story and preserve them actually in paper or,

you know,

tangible forms so we're not relying on digital forms of everything.

What would you begin to say?

We have Brad Thor to kind of give us a look at what he's thinking about what's happening in today's world, but also a look at the books and speeches that he thinks we should preserve just in case, you know, we have a cyber attack or or I mean, I know this sounds crazy, but, you know, maybe we get into some sort of politically correct world where they start to burn books digitally.

I'm just saying that that could never happen here, of course.

We go there in one minute.

This is the Glen Beck program.

Now I speak my mind.

There's no need for lies.

You'll soon be the time.

With audio, it's better to just play nice.

We welcome a good friend, Brad Thor, back to the program.

Hello, Brad.

How are you?

Good morning.

I'm doing well, thank you.

Good.

Long time, no talk.

It has been a while.

I've been writing a new book, so I've been in the bunker.

I know.

So when is the book out?

It's called My New Thriller is called Backlash, and it debuts a week from today.

Week from today.

Okay, so we'll have you on to talk about the book.

It's about Russia, is it not?

It is.

It is about Russia.

It's a real fun thriller, something I've never done before, and

a topic I haven't done before.

And I think I've come at the book with something nobody has actually ever written before, and I think they're going to love it.

Okay, great.

Let me just, while we're here on Russia, tell me what you think about

the cyber war

between the United States and Russia and what came out in the New York Times.

I think this was a good thing that we're doing.

Actually,

no, I agree with you 100%.

And, you know, what we see is only the tip of the iceberg out there.

So this was probably meant to be a very obvious shot across their bow.

And they wouldn't do that if there wasn't something in the background that they were concerned about.

So we'd say, hey, don't mess with us because this is what's going to happen, sort of a thing.

So I'm glad that we have the capability and that we're

flexing our muscles a little bit just to let the Russians know, don't think about messing with our power grid or anything like that.

You're going to be in big trouble.

So

do you know anything about the cyber warfare command?

And how it's just been given all of these new powers that were apparently slipped in.

I love this.

Slipped in on the defense bill, the last defense bill?

So So I know a little bit about the organization, less about the defense bill.

We've been under a state of emergency that's been renewed.

You and I have talked about this every single year since 9-11.

So there's a lot of powers the government is granting.

It's granting itself through this kind of continuing ongoing resolution that it renews every 365 days.

So

my big thing is, you know, Frank Church in the 70s warned us that when the NSA turned its giant listening ears inward, that will have been a Rubicon that we can't cross back over.

And that's what happened after 9-11.

With the Patriot Act and collecting all the metadata and the NSA outgrowing Fort Meade, Maryland, and having to build the big server farms in, what is it, south of Salt Lake City in Utah.

Anytime the stories are about them spying or surveilling outside the United States, I'm a happy camper.

So, Brad, it's been a while since we've really talked.

What do you think the state of the union is?

Well, I think we're really toxic, and I think we've become very tribal in how we approach our politics.

The the rise of nationalism has been very concerning to me.

I I grew up wondering how so much could happen.

Good and decent German people could be physically and intellectually intimidated into silence in the 1930s, and bad things could happen in that country.

I'm not saying we've got the rise of Nazism here, but we've got people who are piping up in the public square that never, ever,

we never would have found that socially acceptable as a culture.

First Amendment rights, notwithstanding,

there's just, there's stuff there are people that are empowered today to spew some absolutely vile stuff.

And I think this goes back to us.

You know, we used to say, what will the neighbors think?

And now we don't even know the neighbors' names.

And I think it's a symptom of a much deeper sickness.

And by sickness, I mean kind of a wasting away of our culture and our unity as Americans.

We see ourselves in these silos, these subgroups, well before we see each other as fellow Americans.

And

that's not good for a republic.

So

we're not only seeing people say crazy things, but we're at the same time seeing voices silenced.

And to me, that is just as concerning that

these organizations, they can do whatever they want because after all, they're not part of the government.

The First Amendment applies really to the government.

We are seeing

an organization or several organizations that are getting so massive

that

you could lose freedom of speech and the Constitution would have nothing to say about it.

Yeah,

I've seen a lot of comparisons made to kind of the monopolies

of railroads and steel and all of those titans of industry.

And that argument is one that resonates to a certain degree with me.

We see people thrown off of Facebook, thrown off of Twitter, thrown off of YouTube.

We always said in this country that the answer to bad speech is not less speech, it's more speech.

It's a competition of ideas and

whose ideas are better.

It concerns me that some people, again, this siloing, I am concerned that we have people who are only getting their news from Facebook and I don't care if you're left right or center that's not a good idea to gather all your news from Facebook regardless of what your politics are we've become lazy we've become spiritually lazy we've become civically lazy and we've become intellectually lazy in this country we have it better Jonah Goldberg's book Suicide of the West was so fantastic because he said we're at the top of the mountain and if we're not careful if you lean too far forward too far back too far left too far right you fall off the top of the mountain this is the best point in the history of the world to be alive, and we're in the greatest country to be alive in.

But if we aren't careful, we are going to lose it.

And so, this laziness across those areas that I just explained really does concern me because we are not fighting enough for free speech.

Glenn,

I put a self-destruct program on my Twitter account.

My tweets don't last more than two weeks now because I don't want somebody bringing up a great joke I made after back and forth with Pat or Stu on Twitter and dragging it up from five years ago and saying, hey, wait a second, this sounds terrible.

Well, in the context of five years ago, it was really funny because I'd been on the show with Glenn and we had joked about this and I made the joke on Twitter afterwards.

That kind of stuff, really, as an author, someone who makes his living by expressing himself and with words, it freaks the hell out of me.

So, yesterday, I've been feeling this for a while, that,

you know, we're living in a digital age.

And

when you look at, like, for instance, the movies you buy, you don't actually buy them.

You're still renting them.

You're leasing them from Apple or anybody else because they only, they don't own the rights.

They lease the rights.

And so when Disney comes out with their own platform, most likely Disney's going to say, okay,

you can only get our movies from our platform.

So if you bought all those Disney movies digitally,

when that license expires with Disney, if Disney decides not to

continue the license with Apple, you lose all of that.

And

it is amazing to me how we could silence somebody

who has a lifetime of work and all of their work could be gone almost overnight.

You could take back all of the books, unless they're in print.

You could take back all of the books.

You could take back all of their videos.

They're gone.

You could silence their voice and put them behind a wall.

Does this concern you at all or is this just me being too paranoid?

No, no, listen, I agree 100%.

It's a push-pull, right?

Remember when you two had that album and everybody was forced to receive the album?

Yes.

It's a two-way street, so you can be stuff can be pushed on you and it can be removed.

You can have the version on your Kindle of a book book replaced with an edited version.

So without your permission, they can do something like that via not just Kindle, but any EEE platform at all.

So when you're dealing with digital, listen, the smartest thing my wife ever did was she went out and bought all Mel Brooks's movies on D V D because we didn't want to lose them.

You know, there's there's movies that are that are that I think are very funny that Mel Brooks did that if you tried to do them today, you'd never be able to get them done.

In fact,

you know,

Mel Brooks would be the public pillory, he'd be dragged to it.

So yes, that is a concern.

The more we are reliant on digital, this is precisely why I don't do online banking.

I don't like the idea of somebody being able and yeah, you have to give your permission to pay bills and all this kind of stuff.

I still do paper checks.

It's just the way I am.

I just don't like surrendering everything to digital.

I think it comes with a lot of risk.

And you couple that with the story you opened up this segment with about the article in the New York Times about us flexing our muscles with Russia in cyberspace with threatening their grid system.

This is pretty serious and the more reliant we are on digital,

the more susceptible we are to great havoc.

And I don't think that Russia is the

I think they will be deterred with mutually assured destruction.

But places like Iran

and North Korea, they will not be deterred by mutually assured destruction.

Do you agree with that?

Correct.

They won't.

And you also need to keep in mind with Russia that they've got

a very active propaganda outlet, Russia Today, where they are pushing stories about 5G causing cancer because the U.S.

is so far behind in that technology, and Russia is trying to rush their own version of it ahead.

So there's a lot happening with Russia beyond just what they could do electronically from kind of a cyber warfare standpoint.

They're also running a very active cyber warfare propaganda campaign.

I don't know if you've noticed this, but all of the stuff that has come out recently about deep fakes, it's all coming from the Samsung Center in Moscow.

And that concerns me that

the Samsung Center in Moscow is the one leading the way on this, because you know that the Russians will use that.

All right, back with Brad Thor here in just a second.

I I want to get his list of things that he thinks we should preserve, books that thinks we should have in paper form.

What I'm doing is I'm putting a whole list together, and I ask for your help.

Go to glenbeck.com/slash save books

and give me a list of what you think is important culturally, is important to show the progress and the bad side of America.

What would you want if you needed a library that said, this is what the West was, this is how it worked, and this is its faults.

This is how you would restart it.

Go to Glennbeck.com/slash save books.

All right, our sponsor this half hour is Simply Safe.

The whole reason to have a security system for your home is to keep the bad guys out and your family's valuables safe, right?

Well, Simply Safe has made a tremendous breakthrough with their video monitoring.

When Simply Safe, when the alarm trips and the homeowner has an HD camera, they alert your local police who respond now three and a half times faster because you're monitored.

And usually, when your alarm goes off, it just goes to the bottom of the 911 calls because they think this is just an alarm system that has been tripped by a mistake.

But if you have the HD security camera, you can actually check and say, yes, somebody is in the house.

And so you get pushed to the top of the 911 call.

This is, no one else does this.

This is totally unique.

It's simply safebeck.com.

They have a huge deal going on right now.

Go to simply safebeck.com and get a free HD security camera when you order.

It's free.

It's $100 value.

So go to simply safebeck.com.

Get the free HD security camera at simply safebeck.com.

We pause for 10 seconds, station ID.

All right, we are back with Brad Thor.

So yesterday,

we asked people and we got a lot of responses online.

Just go to glennbeck.com/slash save books.

We got a lot of things, a lot of repeats.

Animal Farm Fahrenheit 451,

the Bible of Mice and Men, Grapes of Wrath, Brave New World, a lot of Calvin and Hobbes, believe it or not.

I don't know about that.

But I wanted to get Brad Thor on because I wanted to get his list, and then I want to ask him

another question about books we should preserve.

But first, let's get your list, Brad.

All right.

So my list, I kind of have it broken into groups.

It would be the Bible.

The Summa Theological by St.

Thomas Aquinas, the Federalist Papers, complete with the founding documents, the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, The Road to Serfdom, the Gulag Archipelago, and Cinderella's story, My Life in Golf by Bill Murray.

I, ha, the Bill Murray one took me by surprise.

So, uh, so Brad, I think actually it's important to preserve culture as well, um, both good and bad, to show, you know, where we were as a people.

Um, Brad,

I was thinking about on my list putting perhaps you or Tom Clancy or some Vince Flynn

onto my list because

you are not only part of the culture, but you have, there's so much truth in the books that you guys write.

It has to make sense and it has to be based in fact.

Otherwise, you guys couldn't sell a book.

If you were going to preserve the phrase,

you called it faction, Glenn.

You said, you know, you don't know where the facts end and the fiction begins.

That's your phrase.

I mean, I've done thrillers about the Federal Reserve, about the threat of too much technology.

I mean, with each book I do, my job is to give people a white-knuckle thrill ride, a fun, you know, take it to the beach, take it to the lake kind of book.

But when you close it, you're smarter about the threats the country faces and what your role is as a citizen.

So, I mean, I'm thrilled that you would put me in that group with Vince and with Clancy, but I think that's probably not a bad idea if you want to get a current snapshot of the threats the country faces.

Well,

I did include Michael Crichton's Sum of All Fears.

I think that's, isn't that it?

Sum of all fears about

the

global warming.

What is it?

Climate of climate of fear.

Climate of fear.

Climate of fear.

Climb of all fears with climate of fear.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So climate of fear, which was

fantastic on its truth.

It tells the story of what's happening with global warming.

He started to write it as a pro-global warming thing.

He got into the facts and he realized this is hogwash.

So he wrote it all.

And then the last part of the book is all about, here are the facts.

Here's everything that I said in this book.

It is happening right now.

And I think that's a really important thing, especially when it comes to

global warming.

Listen, there's a reason they come for the academics, the journalists and the authors first, right?

When they want to silence truth.

Those tend to be the three groups of people whose job it is is to get the word out there.

We can talk about journalism today and whether they're really living up to that standard.

But

I think that if you really want to see what's happening in a society at any given point in time, look at what's being written.

Look at the written word.

If you had to save one Clancy book and one Thor book, what would it be?

If you had to save one Clancy book and one Thor book,

I think the hunt for Silver is always going to be the best.

Yeah.

I just think that we're not learning anything about the Soviet era anymore, and it would be, it's culturally important and important globally as well to remember that and to remember what the Cold War felt like.

How about a Thor book?

Well, so if I had to pick a Thor book,

I'd probably, considering everything that we're going under, we're dealing with right now, it would be my book Blacklist.

Blacklist.

Blacklist, which had to do with total surveillance of the population, what you and I talked about earlier, the warning from Frank Church in the 70s that if the NSA ever turned its giant listening ears inward on the U.S., we would have crossed the Rubicon.

And I actually opened Blacklist, my thriller blacklist, with Frank Church, with direct note from him on the Today Show, talking about his hearings and what he learned about the NSA.

That was one of my favorite books of yours, and I can't wait to read Backlash.

It comes out.

Backlash comes out next week, next Tuesday.

Brad, I'm sure we'll talk to you again, hopefully next week when that book comes out.

You can order it now in advance, Brad Thor and Backlash.

Back in a minute.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Hey, we're taking a cruise next

spring, and it is going to be, it's going to be great.

A cruise through history.

Next spring, we're going to start in the Mediterranean.

We're going to Venice.

Then we're going to Croatia, Greece, and Israel.

You are going to be guided every step of the way.

You're going to have David Barton there, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, who is unbelievable.

You will learn more just if you just had dinner with him and just casual conversation.

I guarantee you will learn more than sitting with any other human being you've ever sat with.

But he's going to put the Holy Land into perspective.

Stu is going to be there.

I'm going to be there.

Bill O'Reilly is going to be there as well.

It's an all-inclusive trip, including all airfare, all gratuities.

You never have to take out your wallet.

So get on board before it sells out.

It's our cruise through history.

You can do it now at come sailaway.com.

That's come saileaway.com.

Again, it's all-inclusive.

Please check it out and get on board now.

Come sailaway.com.

And we'll see you in the Mediterranean next spring.

We were talking about something that you need to preserve.

How about the Second Amendment?

We have part two of our Second Amendment special.

What is the truth about it on Blaze TV tonight?

Go to Blazetv.com slash Galen.

So we have

the conservative Parkland shooter survivor

who was accepted to go up.

to Yale or to Harvard and everything was going fine until they found some racial slurs made several years ago in high school in a Google Doc and text messages.

And so what happens?

You got to kick him out.

So he's now been, he,

this is,

can you imagine if

this were the liberal, one of the kids that were,

you know, standing up in Parkland against guns, if they had said something crazy online when they were 16 years old and a conservative university, I know,

it's not going to happen because even the conservative universities, so few of them are actually conservative anymore,

and they decided they're not going to do it.

And they use this excuse of, well, you said this at 16.

First of all, is this the standard that we want for our children?

That you can't say anything at 16 and not have it follow you.

This is just the prediction of the head of Google,

Schmidt, when he was on this program and said and verified that it would be, you know, 10 years away.

He said, the kids that are kids now, this is about 2011, Stu, the kids who are kids now or growing up and are online, by the time they get into their mid-20s, they're not going to be able to survive

the burden of what they have online, and they're going to have to change their names.

Yeah, we're seeing it.

We're already there.

Yeah, we're seeing an effect right here.

I mean, you know, it's amazing.

Obviously, what he said was really, really bad, and he said it's really, really bad.

And, you know, I don't think he was, he's saying that, and I think this is probably true, just judging by the context of his comments, but it seems like he's making the point of like, I was just trying to be as offensive as possible.

He's like, I wasn't, I'm not, I wasn't trying to be a racist.

I was trying to just be offensive, which is, again, like, like this goes back to this trolling culture that we have where everyone says things they don't mean to be offensive.

At least that's what they claim.

And it's such a strange thing to do.

But the idea that there's no racists at Harvard is ridiculous.

I mean, not to mention, you have a bunch of students, of course, that all of them, if you went back through their history, you would find things that were objectionable.

Maybe not to this level, but some of them you certainly would.

And secondarily, this is a college that's currently being sued for racism in a massive lawsuit in which they are completely guilty

of prejudice against Asian Americans and keeping them out of Harvard because apparently Asian Americans don't have enough of a personality for Harvard, not to mention that they just score a little too high for those white students, so they shouldn't be rewarded.

That is like, I mean, the idea that Harvard can talk to us about what is racism and what is not is a

pretty big leap for me at this point so i have to tell you if you read this and you were an adult you would say this is clearly racism if you understand a 15-year-old kid a 15 year old boy online with with no stops all the stops pulled out this is exactly what this is this is not racism this is a kid who is just trying to be offensive Are you trying to be a jerk?

And look, he succeeded.

And every one of our, as a parent, it's a great time to remind your kids that the things that they type onto that little internet are things that people will eventually pull out and use against you.

So maybe, maybe trying to be the biggest jerk possible is not the appropriate way to handle your life.

But I mean, like, I don't think you're going to see, you're not going to, I don't, I don't think there's any evidence to see, like,

there's no white paper written by this kid, you know, like that looks like Richard Spencer.

Right?

Like, this just seems like a guy who's using what is the most, like, we all know, what's the most offensive two words?

One begins with an N, one begins with a C.

And so, you know what?

When you're a teenager, a lot of these people use this type of language.

It doesn't excuse it.

It's absolutely horrific, as he is pointing out himself.

But the idea that you get thrown out for these things is amazing because you could go through every single kid who was going to Harvard and find something that would not show very well on the public stage.

When you're 16 years old, you're supposed to be able to make horrific mistakes and, I mean, to the point of commit crimes and not be held responsible for them like you are in regular life.

And the idea that

we're going to now apply these standards to kids in high school is just a dangerous standard.

15 years old, you are a rebel.

You think that you're invincible.

You think that the rules don't apply to you.

And I mean the rules of life and death.

You think you'll live forever.

You can do anything.

You know, you go back, I was reading some stories from the veterans of World War II and D-Day, and they said, you know, look, I was 20.

None of us thought we were going to die.

I mean, we knew it was a possibility, but you know, you're invincible when you're 20.

So

if you're like me with my son, my son has a

wicked, wicked sense of humor.

He is really, really funny.

And

he is,

he's just very well read.

I mean, he was, he was reading novels, literally novels when he was seven.

And so he's just, he's just funny, and he has a very odd sense of humor and a dark sense of humor because that runs in the family.

And I've been trying to tell him, son, you cannot say these things.

These are funny in the family, but you say this, you put this online, you type this to somebody, and that's going to come up and haunt you forever.

And he's not saying stuff like this.

No.

But

anything that you say, anything that you say, that is not the way.

Moms and dads, left and right, is this what you want for your sons and daughters?

Do you want your sons and daughters, when they make a mistake, there's a reason why we have juvie.

And we don't put

15-year-olds in prison.

There's a reason why

even if you've killed someone,

chances are you're not going to serve a life sentence.

Chances are you're going to get off because you were a young kid, or not get off, but spend less time because you were a young kid.

We're going to

reject all of those rules now.

Now it's just whatever you did,

however old you were, we're holding you responsible for the rest of your life.

Yeah, it's just a terrible standard.

And And like, you know, honestly, if it was the other way, and like, let's say David Hogg, another activist from this shooting who's against the Second Amendment, if he were to come out and these sorts of comments were to come out about him, and he said all sorts of really bad things publicly about figures, I mean, he's accused people of all sorts of murderous, awful things in public.

God only knows what he was saying when he had no responsibility on his mind.

If these comments came out and they were his, you'd have to defend them the same way.

I mean, look, these are awful, awful things, and every parent should be making sure that their kids understand there's more of a consequence than just be like being a wise ass

leads you to things that, that is, you know, that are terrible.

And, but, like, you defend, wouldn't you, Glenn, defend David Hogg if comments like this came out from David Hogg?

You know, yes, Hogg got into, wasn't it Harvard?

It was one of these Ivy League schools, I think it was Harvard, as well, when he didn't really qualify for it.

And here's Kyle Akashiv, who does qualify for it and then gets thrown out because someone dredges up something terrible from his past.

I don't think the standards would be the same if it was a left-wing activist at all.

It wouldn't be.

But I would treat it the same.

I mean, you can't

hold the kid to that standard, I don't think.

So

here's the problem.

And you'll understand as you start to have teenagers,

teenagers just don't listen to their mom and dad.

No, they don't.

They just don't.

They think that their mom and dad, I get it from my son all the time.

I mean, you've, you know, what we've lived through in our family.

You know the problems we've had.

I've had times in my life where we've had to have an iPad next to the refrigerator that was just scrolling faces.

of pursuers, people that were trying to kill the family or hurt the family.

And we would have this thing that it would just scroll and it would just, you know, have a red mark.

If you see this person you know immediately do this and so they were scrolling at in our kitchen all the time so the kids would know now

that's real

my kids say oh dad you know it's not like that you know blah blah blah blah blah my kids have sat down with the fbi

What chance does

a kid who's not being raised where they have access to the FBI and and the FBI sits in the living room and goes, Look, you have to take this seriously.

What chance does the average mom and dad have?

Because they just think, oh, mom, dad, you just don't understand today's world.

You don't understand it.

It's not like it was when you were a kid.

And you're like, yes, I know that, but I also know what's coming.

And it's not good for you if you don't change your behavior.

Yeah, I mean,

at least online.

It's what Jonah Goldberg says, which is the characteristic most closely associated with stupidity, is youth.

And it's true because you grow up and you don't even know how to, you're born, you don't even know how to talk, right?

And it gets slightly better, but it takes a while before you're not a moron.

And you think the problem is,

as a teenager, you think you're very smart, and you're usually not.

So the issue here is

this is why, as a society of supposedly smart people, with wisdom, we've applied a certain amount of immunity to this class of citizen, right?

We've said teenagers get, teenagers and younger are going to be able to get clearance.

You know, if your kid goes in when they're three years old and takes a pee in the middle of a restaurant, it's got to be treated differently than if you happen to be 43 and attempt this.

And

that is something that I thought we all kind of agreed on.

But I mean, this is happening more and more.

There's a guy who was drafted in the NFL this past this past draft, I think it was this past draft, and they found similar types of comments, like wise-ass racist sort of stuff that, like, there's no evidence of a, you know, long-term white supremacist, you know, ideology.

There was just like, I'm a jerk, and I'm going to say the thing that I know that is going to piss off my parents more than any other thing, right?

And like, that is a very standard thing that teenagers do.

It's an awful thing.

It's something you get cured of when the days go by.

And that's why we give these immunities to teenagers typically.

We're now like stepping in and saying, you know what?

I can't remember the bad things I said, whatever those were.

So I'm going to apply these standards to these kids because it's going to make me feel better about myself.

We're going to victimize and target teenagers to give ourselves this air of superiority, which, by the way, you should already have it as an adult, right?

It's like, it's just this, it's really a despicable trend.

I don't think that that is actually what's happening.

I don't think that the people who are doing this

think about it as, oh, I'm going to, they think of it as this is horrible and this kid is horrible.

If this kid was David Brog, right?

David Hogg.

David Brog is a friend, David Hogg.

If this guy was David Hogg, they would not be doing this.

And they would be sticking up and they'd be saying the same thing that we're saying now.

Unfortunately, too many of us on the right would be saying the same thing that they're saying now about this situation if it were David Hogg.

We have to be consistent.

And they're not.

So they're not thinking about, oh, I accept this and this is just wrong and I'm going to feel better about myself.

They're like, this guy is a bad kid.

Get him.

Because he disagrees with their ideology.

And I think that's really where we are as a society.

It's just there's good people and bad people, and it's all based on ideology.

And so no matter what you do, we'll find a reason to make you guilty of something.

We'll find it.

And even if we're doing it currently, it doesn't matter with us because we're furthering

social justice warriors.

We're carrying that banner up the hill.

So, we're dismissed from all of this.

But this kid, no, you don't want this kid in Harvard.

I'll tell you that right now because he's already got some really screwed-up ideology.

And I knew it.

I knew it.

People like that, they're just racist.

Somebody else who might perhaps actually be racist, as long as they're a social justice warrior, they are absolutely fine with that crowd.

Back in a minute.

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

Okay, so I have good news and bad news, and then I have a fix for for you.

The Fed has signaled that they're dropping interest rates again,

and this is great news.

If you have a variable mortgage or you're looking to buy a new home, the reason why the Fed is reducing rates, however, is because although the economy is doing great, they see signs of slowing and they see signs of trouble on the horizon, and so they have, you know, no other option than to keep the economy growing.

So, good news is a great time to buy a house, great time to get a loan,

a great time to change your adjustable mortgage.

Bad news is, it's a great time now because things on the horizon look a little dicey, according to the Fed.

So, what do you do about it?

You get the right loan for you.

Do not go out and just heap a lot of debt onto yourself and don't get a crazy mortgage.

Don't listen to the people who are just selling you anything because they make more money by selling it.

You go to AmericanFinancing.net.

You can get your adjustable rate changed to to a fixed mortgage and save a buttload of money.

You can do

a consolidation loan where you take all of your credit card debt and you put it into that under a low interest rate.

You can get a new home with a low interest rate and real small payments.

You can do all of these things with a 10-minute phone call to AmericanFinancing.net.

They work for you, not the bank.

Call 800-906-2440.

Takes 10 minutes to start this.

It's 800-906-2440 or find out more at Americanfinancing.net.

I can't believe that we've waited this long to tell you the truth about one of the most important

research findings, I think, in my lifetime.

Men with dad bods are more attractive to women than guys with rock hard abs.

Yep.

Just want to point that out.

You're a little bit overweight.

You're a little bit, you know, you got the little pouch there in the front.

It's,

you're apparently, once again, part of the in-group.

Yes.

All I have to do now is lose 30, 40 pounds to get to dad bod level.

I gotta be high.

I am set, man.

Yeah, it's good.

The fusion.

of entertainment and enlightenment.

The border is absolutely on fire.

And when is somebody going to do something about it?

We'll talk about that and what it means to our economy, what it means to our culture, what it means to the Electoral College coming up in just a second.

Also, a disaster like we've never seen before.

This is from one of the leading farm spokesmen on corn.

Most, if not, I think it's 80% of the corn that we consume has yet to be planted this year.

They're saying this is going to be the worst disaster for farmers in our nation's history if anything else goes wrong this summer.

We'll talk about that and the things I've learned just by spending a couple of weeks up here at the farm.

It is insane.

Why anyone would be a farmer?

It's nuts.

All that and so much more in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

The guy who takes care of our ranch and the farm, we've partnered with a guy here in town who's had a farm forever.

And

so he kind of oversees everything for us.

And this guy is, I don't know, a little older than I am.

He's

such a great guy.

And he never complains, never complains.

And I don't know how this guy is not in horrible pain or in a mental institution

because, well, I'll explain here in a second.

Just one day in a farmer's life and you're like, I don't want to do this.

I don't want to do this.

I see why people don't just move away.

They run away from this because it's crazy.

And it's why I think we have changed as a people.

But anyway, if you're in pain, There's one thing you can do, and that is relieve the inflammation in your body.

If you can control the inflammation, inflammation, a lot of our pain just goes away, or at least is under dramatic control.

And Relief Factor is the way that I have found that really helps me.

Relief Factor, try it for three weeks.

If it doesn't work for you, stop taking it.

I'm sorry, 70% of the people who take this,

they go on to take it month after month after month because it works.

So please, just give it a try.

Get out of pain.

ReliefFactor.com or call 800-500-8384-800-500-8384, relief factor.com.

Welcome to the program.

I just, I want to say thank you to our nation's farmers.

Our nation's farmers right now are going through one hell of a time.

And I don't think, as you sit down at your dinner table tonight, talk to your family, this food did not come from a grocery store.

You know, meat is not, it doesn't come in a styrofoam little package.

Meat comes from a cow, and a cow has to be raised and has to be fed.

What are they fed?

We just don't understand the circle of life.

We no longer even think about it.

And these farmers, I mean, if it wasn't for modern technology,

there's no way you could get me even around a farm.

Modern technology, I don't know how my grandfather did it.

Just this season, yesterday is a good example.

This is yesterday.

Last week,

we were struggling with rain.

We had snow on the ground here.

We were supposed to be growing crops.

We had snow one day on the ground in the morning.

And this comes from huge rain.

Now, in years past, we were in a drought.

Now we've got more rain on record than I think ever has fallen.

And farmers are going through this all across the Midwest and in the West.

So, you can't grow a crop if there's too much rain.

You can't grow a crop if there's not enough rain.

You can't grow a crop if it's cloudy all the time.

You can't grow a crop if there is no sun or if there's too much sun.

You can't cut a crop if it's going to rain.

You cannot not cut a crop because of the rain.

It's insane.

There's like this little teeny window of like, right now.

So

we cut our crops,

what, Tuesday?

No, was it Tuesday?

I don't know.

Sometime last week.

And we were going to bail

yesterday.

Well, it rained yesterday.

So now down at the farm, we're worried about the rain.

You can't pick up the hay.

And it's not been hot enough to really, you know, just dry it out.

You can't really pick it up.

You can't let it sit there and rot on the ground.

So yesterday we're worried with this.

We had a pump, a neighbor's pump,

go out

and it was pumping somehow or another, it was letting all of this excess water run down this

drainage ditch and it filtered its way into our pump.

So our pump was like four feet underwater.

So our pump didn't work.

So now that it stopped raining, we've got to get that pump back.

We had to ship it up to a town.

We had to get all the neighbors together

and undo it and put it on the back of a truck and send it up to somebody to fix and then get it back yesterday.

So

we were putting this pump back into line yesterday.

It's raining on the crop.

And then I was picking up some lumber and using one of the newer trucks.

Some would say it's brand new.

And

it was driving weird for

about an hour or so.

But no lights were going on.

It wasn't telling me anything.

It wasn't like check engine.

I'm like, hey, it should say check engine.

But it was just driving funny.

And then it started to make a noise.

And I don't know anything about trucks or noises or anything.

I just know this is bad.

And so I'm about two miles out from the house and

there's just a big white puff of smoke that comes out the back and

it won't move.

Now luckily, I'm kind of in the middle of the road on a hill with a trailer full of wood.

So I'm not a hazard at all right around this corner where people are usually going 45 miles an hour.

So I call the guy who

is the ranch guy, and I said,

hey, you know the new truck?

He's like, yes.

I was just picked up

and

brought home by somebody

and he thought

it might have

something with blowing a piston or something like that.

He's like, dear God, what?

And I'm like, I don't, I, something like that.

I don't know.

Piston is a part of an engine, right?

I think that's a little thing that just goes up.

And he was like, I'll be there in a second.

I said, well,

how's the pump going?

And he said, we're right in the middle of putting the

pump in.

And I'm like, okay, well, well, you don't have to hurry.

I mean, I could just

stand around the corner and make sure that

nobody's going to slam into the truck or the, you know, the big trailer of

wood.

He's like,

oh, dear God, I'll be right there.

And I thought to myself, I had a real self-examination yesterday.

I am worthless as a human being.

I am absolutely, when it comes to work, worthless.

Yesterday I was moving all this wood and,

you know, we have a couple of big tractors up here.

And so

I was.

Well, I'm glad nobody was here to see me.

You know, let's just say that.

You know,

when you have, I don't even know what it's called.

We We have a big,

is it a Kuboto?

Kubota, Kubota, what is it?

Yeah, it's a backhoe, but it's a giant one.

It's like a, you know, it's a big one.

And so I'm, you know,

you know, I've seen, I've, I've, I've watched YouTube.

I've seen them flip coins and open bottle caps before with those things.

And it can't be that hard.

Yeah, it really is.

You're just sitting there and

and it uh it's not easy.

It's not easy.

So just hats off to everyone who actually has a job

because I realized I don't really have a job.

I don't have a job.

I just sit and yap.

And it's a sweet gig if you can get it.

More people should try and more people should not go into farming.

So I just want to throw that out there.

It really is one of those things that's overstated.

I think we kind of look back and we're like, oh, well, the American farmers, these guys are feeding the world.

And of course, that's all true, but that doesn't mean you want to be involved in it other than the eating part.

The eating part is the primary part you want to get yourself worked into, and that's that's why capitalism is so great, it's why the free market and specialization are so great.

I mean, as long as we don't actually get into the Glenbeck Doomsday situation, everything should be fine.

So, that's the only reason why I have these cattle, but I have to tell you, the cattle are turning me off, too, on

eating because

there's a lot of poop involved.

There's a lot of poop involved in a cow's life.

And we have this one horny bull

who is just doing his mating call all the time.

I need to get him a blow-up cow.

I really do.

I think it just because the women in the pack, the cows are like, oh, dear God, he wants it again.

What?

So I need to get a blow-up cow.

If anybody knows, I mean, I don't know if you get that at farmer.com or where, but...

we should have a blow-up cow for this this bull.

But so I've been, you know, you know, around them a lot uh lately and you know maybe the reason why he's he's he's not getting uh you know his fill of whatever it is he needs is because he's got cow crap all over the back of him and i'm like dude that does not attract the ladies okay it's just not it's i know it's your thing but maybe you should wipe a little bit maybe maybe there maybe you shouldn't sit or lay in cow pies because i don't think that's a turn on to the ladies not that not that i think you you even care.

I mean, it's not like, you know, oh, man, I was really close, but I only got to first base with her.

She was a little, I mean, I don't think they, anyway,

this is going off the rails, so it's probably.

It does seem like there's a little bit of a

disconnect there between, because I mean, really, people are so specific about what they eat.

And when they think about, I mean, when you're actually in the middle of it, there's like, there's two parts of it.

It's a one, you have that, like, you are in where 95% of the nation is, which is just in complete bliss of ignorance, right?

Like, you don't, you're not thinking about where the food's coming from.

You're not thinking about the fact that that food probably went poop a little while ago.

The other side of it is you are a farmer.

You try not to.

And it's so natural to you.

You've been around it for so long that it doesn't bother you at all.

And you're in that odd middle range because, in reality, you're just a normal schlub like everybody else.

But a couple weeks a year, you're forced into the farmer world.

And

I don't know how you come back alive.

I don't know how you

mean.

As long as you don't shake the hand of a vet, you're fine.

When they're doing, you know, it sounds like,

I don't know, it doesn't sound like what it is when they say, hey, this week, why don't you come down?

We're doing pregnancy checks.

Oh.

Okay, we're going to see a little, you know, see a little, you know, which ones are.

No, what you have to do is you stick your hand and your whole arm to your shoulder shoulder

into the rear end of a cow, and then you kind of feel around to see if you feel anything with a hoof.

And you're like, yep, I found a hoof.

So he's either a cannibal cow or pregnant.

One of the two.

I'm not sure, but there's a hoof in there.

I think you just wait.

Just constantly have some blue and pink cow presence on hand.

And then whenever the thing gets born,

just throw them.

I mean, it might even want to do yellow, so it's kind of in neutral.

and then just kind of.

So, a neighbor friend,

a neighbor friend of mine, uh,

because I really want buffalo, and I only want buffalo because they look cool.

I just love the look of buffalo.

I don't want to eat them, I don't want to, I don't want to tend them or anything.

I just, I just like to see them from time to time.

So, if there's like buffalo rentals, you know, two weeks a year, I could just rent some buffalo to walk around in front of my, I'd be fine with that.

But a friend of mine, uh,

or actually a friend of the ranch,

because I don't actually know him myself, but he decided he was going to take on Buffalo.

And

he apparently didn't do the reading.

Buffalo don't like humans helping them.

And so I guess the deal with buffalo is you just leave them alone.

But he was in, and to me, that's...

That's the selling point of buffalo.

That's like, yes, okay.

I don't have to do anything with them.

And he apparently was

trying to help them, you know, with birthing and stuff that you would do with cows.

And

that doesn't go well with Buffalo.

And so now the guy who runs the ranch, you know, for the 50 weeks out of the year, not the two weeks while I'm here, he's dead set against Buffalo.

And I'm like, hey, who's running this joint?

And then he just looked at me.

And I said, okay, that's

a bad question.

That's a bad question.

We rent Buffalo.

Do you believe these people actually put up with you?

I mean, I.

No, they don't.

Oh, they don't.

They don't.

And it's so bad because we're a weird family.

We are a weird family.

And like yesterday, for some reason, or two days ago,

somebody came in

to the house and they were like, is there a reason you all are speaking with Russian accents?

And we didn't realize, but we started it in the morning.

And so we were like,

you know, little boy, come here, little boy.

And

we were doing Russian accents all day, and all of us were doing it without even thinking of it.

And so they think that we're insane.

And

I think a good case could be

a very good case could be made for that.

I didn't even get to the corn.

There's a real problem.

There's a real problem.

If you like corn, you know, or you're a a cow and you're listening, you're like, I like corn, there might be a problem for you coming up in just a minute.

First, let me tell you about gold line.

With unprecedented market uncertainty, now is the time to consider rebalancing your portfolio, ensuring you have adequate insurance with precious metals as a responsible strategy.

Now, here's the thing.

The markets are more spooked.

The investors, the big investors are more bearish than they have been since 2008.

That's saying something.

The Fed is dropping interest rates this month.

That's saying something.

Something wicked this way comes, and we all know it's going to come eventually, but don't be sitting there like we were in 2008.

Please look at your investments right now.

Please

look at the price of gold.

As people become more bearish, the price of gold goes up.

Gold is an insurance policy.

You can look at it as an investment, but I don't.

I look at it as an insurance policy against a world gone insane.

When things melt down, and they always do,

will you have something left?

Will you have something that you bought maybe even for $1,000 that has grown while everything else has gone to hell?

Station ID.

So it turns out it was a fuel pump and not a piston, which

I was surprised to find out.

Both of those parts of cars now.

You know, there's nothing you could do.

I actually looked for the hood release on this truck.

I couldn't find it.

But I looked.

You couldn't even find it.

I looked for the hood release.

And as I'm, yeah, as I was looking for it and I couldn't find it, I'm like, what the hell am I looking for?

What am I going to do?

Just look into the engine and go like, huh, there it is.

Looks like an engine.

And it's not moving.

Yeah.

Or making a sound of any kind.

I feel like it gives you the plausible credibility to say, ah, you know what?

I was going to fix this, but there's one thing I don't, one tool I don't have.

So I'm going to have to close this hood back up.

yeah that tool is a mechanic so I just didn't have that with me otherwise I would have fixed this damn thing I you know I actually to try to make myself feel better as I'm looking for the and cars are going by and I realize they know who I am because it was on my street okay and my truck is marked with the with the ranch logo and so I know they know who I am and they're all people who you know and they're all stopping Hey, do you need any help?

I'm like, no, can you guys stop being so polite?

Because I'm really embarrassed right now.

I'm very embarrassed.

And you're making it worse by stopping.

Just be like everyone else in the world and just drive by at 50 miles an hour, not even noticing that somebody's on the road needs some help.

Because it was so embarrassing.

And everybody was stopping.

Hey, do you need anything?

What's wrong?

And I was like, you know,

truck problems.

You know how it is.

I had absolutely no idea.

So as I'm looking for the hood,

I realized, what am I going to do if I even find how to open up this damn hood?

I don't know what I'm looking at.

And then it came to me, ah, but you're on a corner.

You've got

your emergency blinkers on.

I could find those.

It took me a while, but I could find them.

So the emergency blinkers were on.

And I thought to myself, you know what?

The hood up is just another sign.

you know, that you should not have, you know, rear-ended me because I was clearly having problems.

So,

hmm.

But I couldn't find the hood release.

So, is that a problem?

Anyway,

corn.

If you like corn, there might be a problem.

Millions of acres are going unplanted this year.

The corn that has actually been planted is coming up in extremely poor condition and slow condition.

It is

the plants they're saying are looking terrible.

85%,

85% of our acres for corn look like they may go unplanted this year.

This is going to be a huge problem.

Oh, what a surprise at the gas pump for cattle feed and for you at home.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

All right, want to tell you about our sponsor this half-hour.

It's LifeLock.

Did you know there's a black market for frequent flyer miles?

I wish I would have known that.

I would have.

Anyway, half a dozen online markets have listings created by criminals who have stolen frequent flyer miles and are now trying to resell them.

It's a difficult crime to detect.

Most people don't check their frequent flyer accounts that often, so the theft can go undetected for weeks or even months.

There are many ways that cyber criminals can take what is yours.

When personal information is exposed, someone can use it to commit identity theft, and that's why there's Life Lock.

They're the best in the business.

They've been around forever.

They detect a wide range of identity threats, like your social security number on sale of the dark web.

They detect your information is being used.

They send you an alert.

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

Now, nobody can prevent an identity theft or monitor all transactions, but you'll get 10% off your first year with the best in the business.

Only 11 days away from the amazing museum here in Dallas.

Right here at the studios, June 29th to July 7th, go to mercury1.org and come visit us.

I just got a message in from Linda.

She's a listener of ours.

She said, Glenn, I listened to you faithfully every single day.

I love your program.

As a black, lifelong conservative woman, I find it refreshing to listen to someone with the same mindset as myself.

At this point, I feel isolated because our conservative values are under fire.

My attempts to speak out are futile at best.

I have never in my lifetime experienced such hate and rage.

I agree with you that we're facing very troubling times ahead unless we hang on to our values.

It reminds me of ISIS, join us or die.

That's scary because I will never give up my principles for any reason.

I'm just glad I have a home on your program.

Thank you so much for your support.

Kindness, Linda.

Linda, that means so much to me.

Thank you so much for listening.

You know, it's really weird.

We have this weird relationship.

You know, you're in your cubicle or your car or you're listening to the podcast and

I don't see you and you feel like you know me, but I don't...

I feel like I know you because of who you...

You wouldn't be here listening to this unless you were being paid by George Soros.

You wouldn't be here listening if you weren't a certain kind of person.

And I really appreciate that and know that it means a lot to know that you are listening and that it connects with you.

We're about to do something that, quite honestly, a lot of people at the company are very, very concerned about

because they know that in today's world, this

is going to be taken out of context.

It's going to be half-told.

It's going to be, you know, whatever.

We are doing

a museum that we were going to do during Black History Month, but honestly, we just ran out of time and we couldn't get it right.

And this one

we can't make a mistake on.

But

as we approach this one, we started reaching out to some African-American museums around the country and some other museums.

And we decided to take a different approach.

And I'm glad we waited because I was working on it yesterday.

And the parallels between then and now are shocking.

So the premise of this museum that we're doing, it opens up in two weeks.

It's going to run for two, is it two weeks only?

It's the last weekend of June.

And then I think it closes on the 7th of July.

Yeah, June 29th to July 7th.

Okay.

And you can get your tickets at mercury1.org.

And we really invite you to go there.

What we decided to do was

look at Lincoln's promise and Lincoln's challenge to us.

And, you know,

when Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address, he challenged the nation.

But I don't think that challenge is over.

When he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, it was just for America.

And I know we get a bad name, but let's really look at this from a different perspective.

Because the name that we deserve that

will be remembered horribly in history, really the bad name might apply today much more than in Abraham Lincoln's day.

Abraham Lincoln issued us a challenge to heal the nation, which we never did, and to free people, which we kind of did.

We freed them from chains, but then we didn't work to heal the nation and to heal the wounds from those chains.

And we let things fester and it got bad.

But this is all stuff you know.

And this is all stuff that you can find in every history book.

So what we've done is we're going to take you through then and now, because is slavery an American problem?

Is slavery an 18th century or 19th century problem?

The answer to those, no.

Is it a white, black, racist problem?

No, it's not.

And we will show you

not only the history that you've never seen before.

For instance, yesterday I was going through photograph after photograph after photograph of Native Native Americans and their slaves.

Their slaves weren't freed until I think the 1870s.

Going through photograph of a photograph of black and white children here in America, both slaves.

I didn't know that was, I didn't even know that happened.

We're going over photographs of

the slave trade in Brazil.

Brazil is

got 50% of the slaves that were shipped across the ocean.

50% of them went to Brazil.

4% went to the United States.

That's crazy.

I didn't know that, did you?

Now,

this is not a history lesson on black history, although it has a lot of black history in it.

It's not something that is going to go through the same stuff that you've seen a million times.

This is about if we hold to Lincoln's promise, and if we want to condemn our founders or Lincoln or any Americans in the past, don't we then have to condemn ourselves?

Because we will take you literally through a slave ship.

There is a

we have built

a replica of a portion of a slave ship that you will walk through

and you will experience and then you will see all of the actual artifacts from that period.

But then, what about slavery today?

The slave trade is just as big,

or

actually much, much bigger today, but it is just as horrible and horrific as it was then.

And so as you go through this, we actually have,

I know we have one of the guys who helped free some of the ISIS

slaves, but I believe we may actually have a guy who is actually a freed slave from ISIS.

We have two of those orange jumpsuits.

We just received one.

The other one

is badly stained with blood for what this slave actually went through in the end.

But the slave trade is alive and well, and we want you to see it with your family.

Don't bring your little, little kids, because there's a lot of disturbing stuff in this.

But it is the truth like you've never seen it.

Again, it is not about the African-American experience.

It is about let's look to the future.

As we we try to heal the past, perhaps by looking to the future, we can heal our past.

Because there are people that are enslaved right now that we can help.

And it's a museum unlike that you've ever seen before and unlike anything we've ever done.

So we would ask that you would come and bring your family.

Again, you can get your tickets now at mercury1.org.

That's mercuryone.org.

Tickets for special tours

from myself, from David Barton, those usually run a little long.

If you would like to, you know, have your day as well, you can just go on the regular tour.

But Stu and Jeffy, and I think Pat's doing one as well.

So join us at mercury1.org and grab your tickets to

the museum.

And I would just recommend, too, if you're going to do the museum and you're going to go pick a tour.

If you go on the Stu and Jeffy tour, number one, you're going to get

intense tellings of both survival of heart attacks from Jeffy and survival of tornadoes, both of which have happened to him in the last year.

So you'll get both of those riveting tales.

And at the end, we're going to bring heavy objects to drop on him from above.

So all of those things are part of the Stu and Jeffy tour exclusively

at mercury1.org.

I might take that tour.

I might take that tour.

Also, the freedom of speech, we've told you, is on the ropes.

We tried to post a painting that I did that is political satire.

And it's actually from an old anti-Hitler propaganda piece from World War II.

I painted it after

the Senate voted not to pass the Born Alive bill, which I thought was incredible.

And

it's Hitler the way

he made Jews look.

It's a really distorted view of Hitler with the commentary, next time I'll just call it Planned Parenthood.

And we've tried to sell this for

Abby Johnson's

charity, also for Live Aid.

Or Live Action, one of the two.

Or Live Action.

Live Aid's a good charity though, too.

I don't think they're going to be really wanting your Hitler point painting, but I don't think so.

And Live Action, which is Lila Rose's organization.

They're both pro-life.

We were taken down off of eBay, I don't know how many times, and we were told each time a different story.

First time it was a mistake, second time, it was, well, because we didn't think that it was real, because we couldn't verify you.

Well, no, it is us.

You know,

it was too cheap when you posted it for this artwork, so we thought it was fake.

No, then it was Hitler is a problem.

Then it was the swastika on his lapel is a problem.

I mean, they just did not want this.

And I would tell you, if it was for Planned Parenthood, I doubt they would would have these problems.

Anyway, it is back up.

You can go to one.bidpal.net slash Glenn.

It's just that easy.

This is the problem.

We're behind another digital wall.

You got to go to one.bidpal.net/slash Glenn.

You'll find my painting there.

It's up to, I saw this morning, I think $3,000 already.

You can buy it for $20,000 if you so so want to do it, but all of it will go right directly

to

those charities.

Yeah,

I'm not taking a dime off of this.

And, you know, it's worth, oh my gosh, tens of dollars.

We will make sure we tweet that out at Glenn Beck, twitter.com slash Glenn Beck.

Go there and get the link so you don't have to remember the complicated address.

Okay, back in just a second with a look at the campaign trail and so much more.

First, if you're looking to sell or buy a house, you need real estate agents that you trust.

You need somebody that knows the market, knows your neighborhood, knows how to price it.

It can't be done by an algorithm, knows what the market is buying right now.

If there's a problem with your house, knowing exactly what you can fix for the cheapest amount to be able to help sell your house, if you're looking for a new home to buy, and especially if you're moving into a new city, that's really dicey.

You have to have somebody that you know understands you when you say, look, I'm looking for the right schools.

I'm looking for a school that I can trust.

You don't know who you're talking to.

It could be somebody who is

an Obama supporter and

is currently going to vote for Bernie Sanders.

I don't want their judgment on what is the right school.

So you need a real estate agent that you can trust on all sides.

That's why we developed realestate agentsitrust.com.

Go there now.

It's a free service.

We will set you up with the right person in the market for you.

These are all fans of the show.

They think like you do.

They're the best in their area.

So they are going to be able to help you.

All you have to do is go to realestate agentsitrust.com.

Within an hour, you're going to have the real estate agent emailing you back so you can get on with your life, get your house sold, get your next next house purchased with realestate agentsitrust.com.

So we've covered an awful lot today.

We covered the nonsense.

Could we play the clip, please, of Joe Biden talking about how Barack Obama just didn't have time to explain the Obamacare Act.

He ran out of time.

Here it is.

Remember with the Affordable Care Act, because everything landed on President Obama's desk but locust at the time, he had no time to explain the Affordable Care Act.

Once it got started taken away, all of a sudden we have what we call in southern Delaware an alder call from all those boys.

An alder call saying, oh my God, I'm for health care.

I don't want to take away pre-existing conditions.

I want to make sure, etc.

And so you go out and you beat them.

You make the case.

But he didn't have time to make the case.

We have a new montage that we just put together of Obama trying to make the case about health care.

Do you have that montage, Sarah?

If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan.

If you've got health insurance, you like your doctor, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor.

You can keep your plan.

If you like the plan you have, you can keep it.

If you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor too.

We will keep this promise.

Yeah.

Well, he must have been talking about another health care plan because those things didn't happen.

So I don't know what he was explaining.

Some might say he was lying.

That's another way.

It's another word to describe what he was doing.

I'm amazed though, where we're like, we have now Bernie Sanders, who's proposing his health care bill, the Medicare for All version he's going for, and several others, are now not even attempting to tell you that you'd be able to keep your health care plan or your doctor if you like them.

They're saying we're going to outlaw private insurance, period.

Like that is how far they've gone in a very short time.

And remember, Obamacare was supposed to be the solution to these problems.

And here we are one term later having to hear about what they really need is single payer because that's the only cure to this horrible system we have that, you know, we designed.

And the fact that it would have worked, he just couldn't explain it enough.

He just didn't have the time.

It would have worked.

I mean, what is that?

Is that like, I mean,

it was not as complex as an IKEA piece of furniture where if you don't read the directions, you're going to be left with a ton of screws and things that you don't even know what the hell is for.

You know, it didn't work because I didn't read the directions.

This one, the directions were pretty simple.

They were pretty simple.

They're not a lot of explanation here.

Now, look, if this was Lieberman care, I would say yes.

You didn't have enough time to get through the entire explanation because Joe speaks very slowly.

Keep your dog.

No, but

he said all of those things and so much more.

And

now we're looking at Joe Biden like he's the savior.

Like he's going to be, oh, okay.

Oh, well, it didn't work because we started dismantling it before we understood it.

Huh.

Because what I did understand that it was that I couldn't keep my plan.

I couldn't keep my doctor.

And I didn't get $2,500 back.

I didn't save that money.

So I did understand those things.

But other than that, what were the issues?

Did you have any that you could identify?

Well, other than not keeping my plan, keeping my doctor or saving money.

And, you know, the price of health insurance going up.

And no.

Well, actually, there's plenty of other ones too.

We know what we're out of time.

We don't have time to get to all of them right now.

That's what happens.

If we only had more time, people would understand.

Sad.

All right.

On tomorrow, I want to talk to you a little bit about the border and what's really going on here in Texas and how it affects elections.

That's on tomorrow's program.

Also, more on the First and Second Amendments on TV tonight.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
