We Are At Our Last Call? | Guests: David Steinberg & Arthur Herman | 3/20/19

Let me talk to you about our spotlight sponsor.

It is iTarget Pro.

I

love this.

So cool.

Yeah, I just ordered two

for my family.

My kids are learning how to shoot and, you know, getting away, getting, you know, especially when you have small kids, getting to the range

and learning to shoot, and then dry firing in the house.

It's just really hard.

It's hard to do and expensive.

Here's why dry firing with iTarget Pro is such a great deal.

You can actually, it's like a little shooting range.

There's no bullets involved, and you're just in your house, and you can do it, and it's fun, really, truly fun.

It's I, the letter i, target pro.com.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the program.

I want to talk to you about Jake Tapper yesterday said Trump's maliciousness is infecting the whole Republican Party.

True, not true.

You know, it doesn't help, it doesn't hurt for us to inoculate ourselves against maliciousness.

However, where is anyone talking about the infection that is running through the body of the Democrats?

It is becoming a death cult, a socialist death cult.

And I can't believe the stories that I read last night from people who are saying, I can't believe that, you know, Donald Trump is wobbled about, whatever.

Are you watching what's happening with the Democrats?

I want to just give you a rundown of what they did in one day

and tell me this is in line with American principles and values.

We begin there in one minute.

This is the Glen Beck program.

There is a demand for full-time workers as 50% of the human resource managers say they currently have open positions and they cannot find quality candidates.

That's amazing.

More than 40% of employers plan to hire full-time permanent employers this year.

47% plan to recruit part-time workers.

This is the greatest job economy in a century.

That's not me saying that.

I think that was what, the Wall Street Journal yesterday or was Washington Post.

This is the greatest job market of a century.

First of all, wow.

Second of all, if you're looking to hire somebody, it's going to be hard and you need the right tools in your hands to hire the right people.

That's where ZipRecruiter comes in.

They are great at finding the right employees, which is the most important factor to most businesses.

They are your face.

They're the spirit of your company.

You need somebody great.

Well, they have powerful matching technology.

They scan thousands of resumes to find the people with the right experience in the right place and the right position of life and invite them to apply apply for your job.

And as the applications come in, ZipRecruiter analyzes each single one and spotlights the top candidates so you never miss the great match.

You just don't get an avalanche of people who are not qualified or just looking for any job.

ZipRecruiter is so effective at this that 80% of employers get a quality candidate through their site within the first day.

I want you to try this for free.

ZipRecruiter.com/slash Beck.

That's ziprecruiter.com slash Beck.

ZipRecruiter, the smartest way to hire.

All right.

So let's talk a little bit about.

Yeah, before we should, we should probably get to the new production.

The new what?

The new production for the show.

The new production?

Yeah, just kind of set the tone, the new theme.

I thought we.

Okay.

Yeah, let's roll the new theme.

This is not right.

Have a barrel of fun.

I'm not going to be a goodbye.

Come on, everyone.

Kentucky fried chicken.

Have a barrel of fun.

I mean, you're trending in the United States yesterday, along with Colonel Sanders.

Have you ever seen us at a party?

Together?

No.

Haven't seen it, have you?

No, only when you're standing next to a mirror.

Somewhere, somewhere in the the country, an old decrepit Colonel Sanders is hearing today, you look just like Glenn Beck, and it's not making him happy.

No, it's not.

You know, you actually were, you were trending, Glenn Beck was trending nationwide, and then as an you know, like if you were to take one thing and like uh hashtag it or or make a certain point, the two things trend together.

So it said Glenn Beck, and then like sub-trending with Glenn Beck was Colonel Sanders, right?

And then later on in the day, it actually reversed itself.

It was Colonel Sanders was trending with the association to Glenn Beck.

And

like, I don't know if that means you've actually crossed the lines completely.

Okay.

All right.

Okay.

And it was trending because of this article in Newsweek magazine about

how I said that socialism means the end of the country as we know it.

And if the Demo or if the Demons

don't win with Donald Trump, it's the end of the country.

Yeah, I mean, I I think you've been pretty clear on socialism over the years.

You've also been pretty clear that you look like Colonel Sanders over the years.

For a long time.

For a long time.

So, this is apparently new to a lot of people.

Right.

And I don't know what is really new for anybody on that statement.

Especially if you are looking at

what the Democratic Party is becoming.

I mean,

I saw some stories today.

Glenn Beck says that socialists, anarchists, and Islamicists will band together and work against the country to try to collapse it.

Yeah, I've been saying that for 12 years.

And look at it.

Look at what's happening right now.

You have the pressure from the anarchists on the street.

You have the pressure from the socialists in government.

And you have the pressure from the Islamist movement.

in the government with care

and all throughout the world with Muslim Brotherhood.

So, yeah, there's nothing new here.

It's just new to those who aren't paying attention.

And

to our Democratic friends, not in Washington, but those who live down the street,

are you so distracted by Donald Trump that you

can't see what the Democratic Party has become?

You can't become blind to what you're actually voting for.

I mean, this is the, to me, this is the real issue.

It's what are you turning into

as you're running away from something?

I mean,

I said earlier this week that

if Donald Trump and the and the GOP, and I don't, I don't have love for this.

This is not, this is not, the GOP has been worthless forever.

Donald Trump, at least, has proven that he would do the things that I never thought he would do.

I never, let me just give you this.

I never thought he would declare Israel,

Jerusalem, the home of Israel and move the embassy.

I didn't think anybody would do it, but I didn't think he would do it.

Tax cuts, I thought he would kind of do it, and we kind of got what the GOP was going to do, which is weak.

The judges, I didn't think he would do this with the judges, and I especially didn't even think about what he's doing at the federal level.

He's going to end up, his administration, if he just serves this one term, he could end up appointing 150 federal judges, which will change the balance of the courts in the you know at the federal level.

I didn't think he would do that.

I hate his tariffs, hate them,

But I see the economy,

and the economy is chugging.

And if you look at where it was under Obama and where it is now, it is clearly because of the things with regulation, which I wasn't sure he was going to cut.

I thought he might.

I didn't think he would get out of the Paris Agreement.

Remember when I used to say,

his daughter's not going to let him get out of the Paris Agreement.

His daughter is all global warming.

There's no way.

No, he got of the Paris Accords.

His stance on socialism, his stance on ISIS, his stance on abortion.

Okay, I didn't think he'd do these things.

So I'm willing to admit that I was wrong about him on those things.

Now, I was not wrong about him on things like, he's surrounded by really bad people.

Now, all of those people are gone.

But all of those people that he had with him during the campaign, they're all the ones that he's paying the price for today.

They were bad people.

They're gone.

Great.

His tariffs, I think, are hurting the country.

He says he's doing it for negotiation.

I'm willing to see that, but when the negotiation is finished, I'm hoping that he's going to take these tariffs off because it will unleash another wave of power in the economy.

What he's doing on 5G, on Huawei, it's not working, but that's because Europe has their head up there,

sandhole, and they're not paying any,

please don't push me on that.

They're not willing to stand against China on 5G.

This is the most important thing, I believe, for national security since perhaps the Cold War.

So that's what we have.

Now, maybe somebody else comes into the running, but as of today, that's what we have on one side.

Let me show you what we have on the other side.

On the other side, we have a group of radical socialists, not people we say are socialist and everybody's like, they're not socialists.

You're such a racist.

No, no, no.

We have people who are constantly talking about collapsing the free market system.

We have a hundred people in Congress that have signed up, including every single candidate for the Democratic nomination.

We have them signed on to something that calls for

the radical transformation of the free market into a system that supplies social and economic justice.

That's not the free market system.

You have the face of the free market saying free market's market's not going to be around forever because it doesn't work and it's unjust.

You have them now talking about changing the Constitution to a charter of positive liberties.

They are pushing for infanticide.

We're not even talking about abortion anymore.

We're talking about killing children at nine months old.

We're talking now about packing the court, getting rid of the protection of the Electoral College.

You have anti-Semitism running amok, anti-Israel, pro-care.

It's a cult that is anti-science

and pro-death.

Now, I can say those things, but I just want to recap for you.

I'm going to take a quick break and we're going to come back with just the audio of what's happened in the last 24, 48 hours with this group of people.

You're outraged.

Oh, Trump is tweeting something crazy.

Yeah, he's been tweeting stuff that's crazy forever.

We got that.

But look at what he's doing.

Look at what the policies are.

Those are the things that will last.

Do we have to worry about becoming malicious and nasty?

Yes, I think we do.

The president doesn't set a good example on that.

But that's where the people can lead.

I worry about not just maliciousness.

I worry about a culture of death.

I worry about what happens to us when the free market system goes away.

You to look like Venezuela?

Because that's what they're promising.

All of the things they said they were for for Venezuela and Hugo Chavez, they're for today

here in the United States.

It is not European socialism.

This is democratic socialism.

And we are not a democratic country.

Our founders intentionally did not want us to be a full-fledged democracy because those never last

Now, let me show you what happened in the last 24 to 48 hours.

And you tell me, what should we be talking about?

We'll get into that here in one minute.

Never more than a minute away from the broadcast and from the show.

Let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Brick House Nutrition.

They're the makers of Field of Greens, and you can make the choice to live a healthier life.

They have over a thousand five-star reviews.

It is Field of Greens, which is

something that you just stir into whatever it is you're drinking, just a little teaspoon of it, and you stir it in,

and you have all of the vitamins, the antioxidants,

the

probiotics, everything that you need that you would get from fruits and vegetables.

all just in, you know, whatever you're drinking or, you know, put it in pancake mix or whatever you're eating.

Right.

So when you have it, when the salad for dinner comes, you can just throw it on the floor.

You don't have to eat it.

You just try it tonight.

You just take the salad, throw it on the floor, and then say, I got Field of Greens in this drink.

You got to throw it in the garbage.

Got to throw it in the garbage can.

Why?

Because dogs don't even eat salad.

My dog eats its own poop.

It won't eat vegetables.

That should tell you something.

Anyway, Field of Greens is made with real USDA organic fruits and vegetables, helps boost your immunity using antioxidants, antioxidants, prebiotics, probiotics.

You add one scoop of it to water, stir it in, and you're done.

Sale ends this Friday, so don't wait.

Go to brickhouseglen.com, promo code GLEN and order Field of Greens.

We pause for 10 seconds, station ID.

All right, I just want to play a couple of things.

Now, this is all this all happened in one day.

So, Betto is on the road.

And Betto, which we'll get into here a little later on the program,

he is frightening because he's an empty suit.

He does not know who he is at all.

And I'll make a case on this later.

But he doesn't know who he is.

He's asking

the people now that are going out: hey, I need you to tell me who you want me to be.

I can be who you need me to be.

Who do you want me to be?

Well, that's not the guy you want because the president of the United States has to know who he is and what he believes.

That's a leader.

Betto has no idea who he is,

but he knows the game he has to play.

And right now, the game he has to play is, I got to be for third trimester abortion.

Now, the number of people in the United States that are for third trimester abortion is minuscule.

It's 14%.

Okay, 14%.

They're also talking about after the child is born, if he's got a birth defect, Can we kill the child?

The Democrats refuse to say no.

This is insanity.

Now,

he was at a rally, and some woman said,

what do you say about third trimester abortion?

When the child is ready to be birthed, it is nine months, and we could do a C-section or deliver the child, and the child would be fine.

Mom would be fine.

What do you say about third trimester, nine-month abortions?

Here's what he said.

Are you for or against third trimester abortions?

So the question is about abortion and reproductive rights.

And my answer to you is that that should be a decision that the woman makes.

Yeah!

I trust her.

Woo!

I trust her.

Why?

The woman wants to kill her child.

The minute that child is born,

it has nothing to do with her.

It's a separate life.

I believe it's a separate life in the womb, but they're now talking about killing that child after birth.

This is a very dangerous road.

So same day, here's Gildibrand also running for president, talking about gun manufacturers.

Now, think about how twisted you have to believe, or you have to be to believe that this is actually true.

Here's Jildebrand.

Gun manufacturers only care about gun sales.

They oppose the common

Okay, stop.

No, that's not why they oppose universal background checks.

And in fact, we have universal background checks.

And you know who the person or the group was that pushed and designed the universal background check system?

They're the ones who proposed it.

The NRA.

They were the ones behind the background checks that we currently have.

They proposed

what to do and how to do it.

It was the NRA.

So please, you're looking at any gun owner as a killer.

Somebody who wants, do you hear what she said?

Gun stores, gun manufacturers, they want

sell the gun to the mentally disturbed.

Now, who do you have to be to want to sell a gun to the mentally disturbed?

Who do you have to be?

That you want to sell it to somebody who wants to go out and kill children?

That's her view of guns and the people who make guns.

Now let me go to Booker.

Now Booker was the least offensive in the 24-hour period, but he's here talking about, well,

we should have term limits for the Supreme Court.

And, you know,

I have to tell you, I mean, I will talk to people about packing the court.

Listen to this.

I think we need to fix the Supreme Court.

I think they stole the Supreme Court seat.

Can we keep it at nine?

Should we keep it at nine?

I think I would like to start exploring a lot of options, and we should have a national conversation.

Term limits for Supreme Court justices might be one thing.

They give every president the ability to choose three.

We have people holding on to those seats in ways that I don't think is necessarily healthy.

So I want to figure out.

Age limit?

Look, I think term limits might be a better way of saying that.

Blurning things out of it.

All right, age lever.

Shoot.

Shooting.

Lemon, he's snicking.

It's bizarre, man.

So listen to what he said.

Should we keep it at nine?

Look,

I'm willing to look at anything.

Keep it at nine.

It's been at nine Supreme Court justices since like 1840.

Okay, this is something that Congress decided on long ago.

But notice what he also says.

I think we should have it term limits so every president gets to pick at least three.

Well, that would get you six out of the nine in two terms.

You could dramatically change the country, the reason why you don't have term limits.

You have the power to impeach, but you don't have term limits, and you don't have the president able to pick them because it's a separate branch.

It's supposed to keep the other branches in line.

It's not supposed to be collusion between the branches, and that's what the Democrats want.

But then it gets worse from there.

And this is all in a 24-hour period.

How does the nation survive if any of these people win?

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

All right, let me tell you about

let me tell you about a VPN.

You need a VPN.

It's a cybersecure

channel that you can talk on and communicate and shop with.

A VPN is a virtual private network.

It bounces your

connection all around the world.

So nobody ever can track you and never know where you are.

Now, this is important because we are not only being tracked and monitored for everything,

you're being tracked and monitored by everybody you do business with.

I'm sorry, but I'm not comfortable with all of this.

So you need Norton.com/slash VPN.

It starts at about $3.33 a month.

Believe me, you may not know what a VPN is now, but you're going to know very soon because everybody's going to need one.

Get one now from Norton, Norton.com/slash VPN.

So, Pat,

I want to ask you, can you help me define

cult?

What's a cult?

A group of people that are lied to to get into a group and then brainwashed while they're in the group.

And

they're also made to fear and reject anybody on the outside, I think.

Okay, fear and reject anyone who has a different opinion.

Fear and reject, break break up even with your family if they disagree.

Oh, yeah.

Right?

Break up with family.

The cult will destroy you if you disagree.

Try to leave it.

Try to leave or even just disagree.

Yeah.

Right?

Yes.

Okay, so I think that's a pretty good.

Now, can you make the case that the Democrats have become a cult?

Oh, I think so.

And a frightening one.

I think it's critical now that the Democrats never win the presidency again.

Not just this next election in 2020.

I think ever again.

You know, Bernie Sanders keeps bragging that he was considered an extremist in 2016.

He was an extremist.

All his viewpoints were so extreme.

Now he's mainstream because everybody accepts.

No, that's how extreme the Democrats have become.

Yeah, so

I just want you to know that Van Jones, Van Jones, think of this, America.

Van Jones is now considered an outsider because he's not extreme enough.

This revolutionary communist

is not extreme enough.

He was the guy who said, you know, green is the new red.

He was a full-fledged Marxist.

He was a communist at one point.

Admitted.

Okay, admitted communist at one point.

He's now not extreme enough.

He was a terrifying extremist when he was in the Obama administration.

Now he's rejected by the Democrats.

That's how extreme they've become.

That's how radical they are.

And I get so irritated when I hear some of the

media saying that the Republicans are trying to paint the Democrats into being socialists, and that's what they're going to hammer for the next two years.

Well, they're admitted.

They're admitted.

Look at them.

Listen to them.

They've admitted it.

Elizabeth Warren stood up for 80 minutes the other day and proposed about $150 trillion in spending.

I mean,

everything from not just universal college education, but universal pre-K, universal pre-pre-K.

Cradle to death.

Cradle to death.

The healthcare, slave reparations.

The slave reparations alone are supposed to cost upwards of $14 trillion.

Here's Warren.

You know, anybody who thinks, no, no, no, these guys are not extreme.

Here's Elizabeth Warren on health care and what she plans on doing to the free market system in healthcare.

Listen to this.

The center is about making sure that every single person in this country gets the coverage they need and that it's at a price that they can afford.

We start with our values.

We'll get to the right place.

So theoretically, though,

there could be a role for private insurance companies under presidential.

Or there could be a temporary role.

Even Bernie's plan has a runway before it gets there.

Because, look, it's a big and complex system.

And we've got to make sure that we land this in a way that doesn't do any harm.

Everybody has got a standard.

how extreme is that, Stu?

I mean, it was extreme enough that in 2013, Bernie Sanders proposed a Medicare for All system and got zero co-sponsors.

And Medicare for All at the time was

theoretically designed as something you would opt into.

You'd have a possibility to get Medicare if you wanted it.

Now, it's gone beyond that to a place where we've eliminated private insurance.

This is something that in 2005, the Canadian Supreme Court rejected as unconstitutional.

The Canadian Supreme Court said, no, you can't eliminate people from having private insurance because access to a waiting list is not access to health care.

So the Canadian system is less radical than what they're proposing.

That is nuts.

And

that's happened now in two years.

Think of where they will be in another two years.

Think if they win the House, the Senate, and the White House

with this kind of rhetoric.

Even if the economy tubes and Donald Trump is like, oh my gosh, I didn't think you actually had the film of me and Vladimir Putin making sweet tender love.

Even if that stuff happens,

they would take and sweep House, Senate, and the White House, and they would claim.

that the American people wanted this.

It wouldn't be a rejection of Donald Trump.

That's what you have to understand.

Democrats may be saying, I just can't vote for Donald Trump.

Right, I got it.

But what are you voting for?

This is the most important election to ask, what are you voting for?

No question.

Because keep in mind, not only is it all the socialism, it's eliminating ICE, which most of them want to do.

It's also eliminating the Electoral College,

which

completely changes this nation.

It's an embrace of CARES values.

Yeah.

Packing the Supreme Court.

Packing the Supreme Court.

Medicare for all single payer, abolition of private insurance, wealth tax, Green New Deal, $15 minimum wage or more from some candidates, free college tuition, 70% marginal tax rate.

Warren has the wealth tax, which is up there as well.

Reparations.

Let's see.

These are

almost all of them are unconstitutional.

I mean, the assault weapons ban to the Australia situation to maybe banning all semi-automatic weapons, federally mandated paid family and sick leave, universal basic income,

national legalization of marijuana, if that's something you're worried about.

Net neutrality is another one that will come back, certainly.

The marijuana deal is over.

Yeah,

the other thing that is really disturbing to me is

you're looking at this now and you're seeing the trouble with Google and Facebook and everything else.

Well, they're not in bed with the government, but if you get this extreme government in, the government will want that technology.

And whether it's because they'll say, we're going to break you up unless you partner with us, or

look,

we'll give you this and this, you know, so you have more information and, you know, more access to things, but we need you to work with us to help keep control of the population.

That is coming.

That's coming.

And it's going to come, I think, under the GOP or the Democrats.

But Silicon Valley will not be wanting to work with

the GOP, so it automatically slows it down.

Then you also have people in the party that also don't want it.

Massey, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, all those people in the Republicans that don't want it and know that that would be a very bad thing.

In the Democratic Party, you don't have anybody standing up against that.

They're all fine with that because it's on their side.

I think, too, an underrated part of their sort of extreme agenda right now is, and several candidates have already proposed this and supported it, is if they do get control of these things, they'll end the Senate filibuster on loss.

Oh, yeah.

And once that happens, because I mean, you might think, oh, well, they have, you know, maybe they can get to 53, 54, maybe 55 senators in Democratic control if they have a big win.

It's possible, but I mean 50 plus one.

Yeah,

all they need is 50 plus the presidency.

That's what they're going to do.

And they will get rid of that Senate filibuster as well.

That's what they're going to do.

It is critical they don't win.

Yeah, it is.

Critical they don't win.

I think they, you know, any one of those proposals from Medicare for all to,

you know, ending the electoral college could alter the country to a point where we don't recognize it anymore.

So I said, and this made big news, I guess,

I said on Hannity last,

what, Monday,

that

we are looking at the destruction of our country and the America that we know will be over if they win.

I agree with that.

I mean,

I don't think there's any other way to look at it.

I think we are that close.

Yeah,

it's frightening.

Yeah.

It should send a chill down anybody's spine who believes in America as it was founded.

We are at our last call, and

I

Sean said to me,

so what's the antidote?

Well, here's the antidote.

Here's the antidote.

In the Civil War,

Abraham Lincoln lost,

I think, every battle up until about the middle of it.

In the middle of the Civil War, he decided this is about slavery.

There's just no ifs, ands, and buts about it.

This is about slavery, and we as a nation must repent.

We have to have a day of fast, prayer, and humiliation.

From that day forward, we won every battle except I think one, maybe two.

And we won the Civil War.

Because it was clear this was about something bigger than just saving the United States.

This was a moral duty.

And we as a people bowed our head and said, Lord, forgive us, forgive us.

We need a day of fast, prayer, and humiliation, just like we had in the Civil War.

We need to turn our face back to God and say, forget about everybody else and everybody else's sins.

We need to say, Lord, we are sorry we didn't stand up for the unborn, and now look at where we are.

We didn't stand up, we didn't do this, but we are on your side.

We're not asking you to be on our side.

We will be on your side.

Please forgive us and protect us.

That would save us.

That would save us.

But I truly believe that may be, I think it is, the only thing that will save us.

We have gone so far off the ledge and into insanity.

I don't think there's anything else that will work.

We must have a day of fast and prayer and humiliation

and beg for forgiveness as a country and be willing to take the lumps.

As Abraham Lincoln said, if God desires that all of the gold and all of the treasure is all just

heaped up and lost, so be it.

If every piece, every drop of blood from the lash is taken by a sword, so be it.

And he was right, and we have to be in that position.

Whatever you want, that's fine.

We will deal with it.

Whatever you think is just,

please forgive us.

We need you now more than ever.

Thanks, Pat.

It was a beautiful, beautiful city.

And this documentary on Como News was Seattle is dying.

San Francisco.

I mean, it's much worse than it is in Chicago or in Washington, D.C.

It's horrible.

And that's going to happen.

The more we get into socialist and

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the program.

I want to play a couple pieces from Ocasio-Cortez.

Here she is on capitalism.

Listen to this.

Capitalism isn't, to me, it's an ideology of capital.

It means that we seek and prioritize profit and the accumulation of money above all else, and we seek it at any human and environmental cost.

And to me, that ideology is not sustainable and cannot be redeemed.

Okay.

So there she is.

It's very, very clear.

Yesterday, the guy who joined Bernie Sanders as his chief advisor and speechwriter is a guy who used to write for the Atlantic, and we're going to go into this a little bit later.

But he used to write for The Atlantic, and one of the articles he wrote was the new socialist utopia of Hugo Chavez and how great

the Hugo Chavez socialism really was.

So those are the people that you have coming at you.

They're not looking at...

you know, eating around the sides and changing this a little bit.

It's a fundamental transformation.

And what's frightening is if you listen to what Ocasio-Cortez said in a hearing, and we'll get into this later, she said in a Senate hearing recently, she was asking Wells Fargo, you know, why shouldn't you be held responsible for, you know, an oil spill?

Because, you know, you'll write a loan to Exxon or to these pipeline companies.

And they're like, because we didn't design it.

We don't run it.

We loan the money.

Yeah, but shouldn't we hold you responsible as well so you think better the second time?

This is really critical because if they can't collapse it, they will scare the financial markets.

You will not be able to get a loan, do business.

You will not be able to be heard online because they will share the scare these companies and say, we're going to have to put some more regulation on you unless you stop doing business with oil companies or conservatives, whatever it is.

You're listening to Glenn Beck

let me tell you about American financing American financing when you're buying your first your next your forever home you're making the right investment so when it comes to home financing look at the interest rates look at who you're doing business with home ownership is attainable it takes the right key and the key to your dream home really is american Financing.

They are a family-owned national mortgage banker with a salary-based mortgage consultant.

They're known for custom and low-rate home loans and some of the fastest closings in the industry.

They're strong, they're reputable, and they work for you.

I want you to go to AmericanFinancing.net, AmericanFinancing.net, or you can call them at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

It's AmericanFinancing.net.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

We are now seeing the fulfillment of what I talked about years ago: that the anarchists, the socialists, and the Islamists would work together to destabilize the West.

The anarchists, Portland, Antifa, the college riots, the socialists, the Democratic Socialists of America, the avowed socialists and people who say they want to end the free market that are all running for president as Democrats.

And I would include the Nazis in this.

Nazis are national socialists.

They're not on the right.

They don't agree with the Constitution.

They don't agree with the free market.

They're socialists.

and the Islamists.

The Muslim Brotherhood,

CARE, which is a sister organization of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas.

It is the propaganda arm.

That's what it was designed to be.

Well, they're in Congress now, and they have some real supporters, or are they the ones really supporting these Congresspeople?

We get to that with

an in-depth look at Elon Omar.

She's the latest congresswoman from Minnesota.

Who is she?

We're going to talk to the guy, one of the only guys, who have done deep digging on her, and it's pretty remarkable at what you can find when you look.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

All right, your genes say a lot about your health and your heritage at 23andMe.com slash Beck.

I did this with my whole family.

It is so great.

You really need to do this.

It's fun and it will lead you on a new search for health and for history.

Did you see this incredible story about people who got on 23andMe and they did their tests?

And

there's an option if you want to say, hey, I want other people to discover me if they're relatives.

Yes, yes, yes.

So people looked and found half-brothers and half-sisters

all over the country and realized they tracked it back.

It took, you know, years to figure out what was going on, but there was a

doctor at one of these insemination clinics who was using his own goods

instead of getting donations.

So he had fathered like dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens of children.

How weird is that?

Yeah, so they actually found him.

They confronted him with it, and they were trying to find a situation where

they could put him in prison.

But at the time, I mean, it was a long time ago.

So the rules were unclear.

And he wound up, I think because he lied, getting in a little bit of trouble.

But they actually were able to find dozens of real close family members by blood just by doing this test.

It's incredible.

It's really amazing what 23andMe, they do have this option, and it is an option, of seeing the people that you're related to.

And showing other people that you're related.

Like, you don't have to volunteer that information.

No, you don't have to volunteer.

You can see all the people who are on saying, Yeah, I don't mind having my picture of my name up.

You can see, and it's just hundreds of people that you're related to, and you can just browse or you can announce, hey, I'm here, I'm looking for family members.

It's really incredible.

Do it now.

Take this journey with me.

23andMe.com/slash Beck.

David Steinberg is the New York City editor of PJ Media.

He joins me now.

He is a guy who

has done real homework and one of the few that have actually pursued Elon Omar's history.

And it's kind of complex, and I wanted to bring David on to take us through it.

David, how are you?

Glenn, Glenn, thanks for bringing me on here.

You know,

you're the first national program.

I've been on this story in almost a year.

You're the first person who decided to give this some attention nationally.

I've done some local radio.

But again, I've been putting this out there with verified facts.

I've been putting out

court documents.

I've been putting out social media posts, everything that could be confirmed by listeners themselves.

You're the first person to bring me on.

So I really appreciate that.

David, I appreciate the hard work that you did.

I know the stress that you and your family have to be under because you are exposing something that, if you are right,

is

game-changing.

I think truly, truly game-changing.

Let's

take everybody through the facts on this started as kind of a blog post, kind of rumor.

Then, was it Reuters or Associated Press, I think, got involved?

And they couldn't verify, nor could they deny.

They said, really, it's up to her.

We've got to have these documents.

This all seems buttoned up.

Tell me this story.

Well, this actually goes back at least two years.

There's a local conservative website, powerline.com, up in Minnesota, run by Scott Johnson, who's fantastic.

He's been at this for 15 years.

He found

a post on an anonymous post on a Somali message board right after Ilhan Omer first won election

to

a state representative seat in Minnesota in 2016.

Like two days after she won election, he finds this post

basically spilling all the beans that she married her brother in 2009

and likely did it for

some fraudulent purposes.

It certainly was not a real marriage.

It wasn't disturbing in that nature.

But it looks like it could be for immigration purposes.

It looked like it could be for tax purposes, whatever it was.

And right away, there was quite a bit of information that

Scott was able to publish.

He had pictures.

And these were all time-stamped pictures.

He had witness statements.

and he did a little digging.

And just going to the courthouse, he found out that she did indeed marry this person just for two years.

And she had

a live-at-home common-law husband during that entire period who she had been married to for seven years prior and had two kids with.

And that's what I was saying.

So she's at least would be a bigamist.

At least she would be a bigamist, correct now what she originally said

and this is important because the media was was thrilled to be able to say this is our first muslim woman in a hijab and she's a refugee from war she's everything donald trump hates this was in 2016 so she was elected the same night donald trump was elected They were thrilled to have that image.

And yet just a couple days later, they have this other story that

would certainly destroy all of that.

So

what they did was

Ilan Omar released a statement, cleared up nothing, addressed none of the evidence, but simply said, I had my first husband, who I've been married to for seven years.

We drifted apart.

I married this second person around 2009.

We divorced.

We separated in 2011, and I got back with my original husband.

And that's all I'm going to say about it.

Now,

Glenn,

if you're a journalist, do you stop at that point?

That's what happened.

They did stop at that point.

They were completely satisfied with her explanation.

And next two years until twenty eighteen, there was virtually nothing revisiting that original story.

That's when I jumped in.

I jumped back into this in the run-up to the 2018 election, and I've been digging on it for almost a year now, and

I've uncovered what I believe is enough to put us far beyond a reasonable doubt.

Okay, so

I want to get into the evidence because it's more than just

do you have any idea yet on why she

may have married her brother?

Absolutely.

Okay, okay, okay.

So we'll get into that here in a second.

I want you to lay out the evidence and lay out all of the other accusations because it's not just this, and it's very, very disturbing if this is indeed true.

And it's hard to get your hands on birth certificates, et cetera, et cetera, but

there are other ways to be able to verify.

And we'll get into that with David Steinberg.

He is the New York editor of PJ Media and a guy who has really done his work on this.

And this is an important story because

this connects directly to care.

And what happened just a couple of weeks ago when Alan Omar

was not chastised by Nancy Pelosi.

They are afraid of her for some reason.

They are afraid of care.

Joe Lieberman said this to me the other day, not about care, but that the Democrats that he knows in Congress are afraid of the left.

Well, that includes care, and they are very powerful and very dangerous.

That's why I said David was a real hero today, because he is taking something on that might destroy him and his career.

If he gets it wrong, the consequences are really high.

If he gets it right, they may even be higher.

We'll go back to him in just a second.

you could sit there in a chair and actually actually be comfortable and not be miserable as you're going through your day.

Really comfortable.

You could occasionally fall asleep in a meeting.

I'm not saying it's happened to me per se, but like when Glenn's in like a long rant about something he says is important,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Yeah, I mean, it's comfortable enough to fall asleep if that's what you wanted to do.

That's how I'll put it.

10-second break for station ID and then back with some evidence that something isn't right.

All right.

David Steinberg,

tell me now what you have found and the facts that

line everything up.

Well,

there's so much here I'd love to go over with you.

So much evidence I've published.

Here's the basics for your audience.

Back in 2003,

this man named Ahmed N.

Elmi

graduated from Arlington Senior High School in St.

Paul, Minnesota.

While he was attending that school, he was living with a man named Nursaeed Mohammed.

Nursaid Mohammed is Ilhan Omar's father.

So for the one year he was attending this school in Minnesota, his legal guardian was Ilhan Omar's father.

Now, I don't have the school records yet.

I can't acquire those without a warrant, but I do have several witness statements placing him in that address, saying that was his father.

and I do have address records putting both of them in that address.

Now,

certainly that would be something that you would think a reporter would ask her about over this time.

No one's asked her about it.

Most of what I've published has been ignored.

In the one or two times that she has been confronted by the media, a New York Times reporter asked her a couple of questions.

An AP reporter asked her a couple questions.

Nobody has brought up that.

The second

bit of information I have showing that this marriage was fraudulent is that from 2009 to 2011, which is the extent of her marriage to Ahmed Elmi,

Ilhan Omar was attending college at North Dakota State University.

Also enrolled was Ahmed Elmi.

Now,

so shortly after she married this man who appears to be her brother, they both enroll in the same college.

I checked address records.

Ilhan's first husband, who she has two kids with,

also lived in the same address with Ilhan Omar and her brother slash husband during those two years she was attending North Dakota State University.

She was living with two husbands at the same time and her two children.

In the same house.

In the same actually in the same house one year and then in the same house the next year.

They were all in the same two addresses.

Actually,

her first husband, whom she has the two kids with, the records actually show she spent more time living with him during her marriage to the second husband than she spent living with the second husband.

And then, as soon as she gets her degree in 2011,

she heads back to Minnesota,

and according to her, her second marriage fell apart and she never spoke to him again.

That's it.

The extent of her marriage took place while they were both attending college.

Okay, now they

which is weird because her kids and her husband are living in the same house.

All right, so

she claims that she never spoke to him again, and she claimed that in

court

for the divorce, correct?

She did not divorce Ahmed Elmi,

her brother, until 2017

when this became a liability for

running for federal office.

So that occurred early in 2017.

She filled out a form saying she had not spoken to him since 2011.

She had no idea of where to find him.

She had no contact with him, with any relatives.

She said she had tried to search for him online with social media.

Every single question she answered on that form is a provable lie, a provable instance of perjury.

There's nine, nine instances of perjury just on this one form she signed for the divorce.

Because

all over her social media, she is having contact with Ahmed Elmi from 2011 to 2015.

Not only is she having contact with him,

she literally was posting pictures of her having physical contact with them.

They're hugging, taking photos of each other in London in 2015.

And

Ahmed Elmi, we got in touch with him back in 2016.

He admits being the person in the photo, but says he was just at some event.

He doesn't know who the woman standing next to him is.

He admits that

he had a wild night in London

with this woman who he can't identify, but

happened to marry a man with his exact same first name and two middle names and last name.

Now, I did actually bother to do a homework to rule out if there was anybody else named Ahmed Nurseyed Elmi.

There is not.

There was nobody else alive around his age with that name in either England or the United States.

So

for what he said to be true, that he did not know her, there has to be a second person, but there simply is no records of one.

Now, when you say it's her

brother, are you saying because you can't get the birth certificates because she said that her birth certificates were lost in the civil war in Somalia, which is reasonable to believe?

Are you saying that this is a brother?

Or, like, I have a guy I refer to as my brother.

We've known each other since we were kids.

He lived with us.

You know, he was practically raised by my parents, but he's not my brother.

But I consider him my brother.

Is that the kind of brother you think this is?

Or Or is this an actual blood brother?

You know, I

am unable to determine if

this is a blood brother.

No one's going to be able to determine that without a test.

However,

I it is clear to me from what I've published and from information I have not published yet, I did share some of that with you, Glenn, earlier.

I'm getting that confirmed by our attorneys over here, and I'll publish it as soon as I can.

But the government of London and the government of the United States certainly was told that this person was her brother on several occasions.

So whether or not this is a blood brother, he was either adopted, he was a half-brother, he was her full brother.

And

why would she do this?

What do you think the motive is?

Why would she do this?

That's interesting.

Some people have been bringing up the fact that they believe it's immigration fraud.

I don't think that's the case.

Again, because this happened in 2009 and months later, both of them were attending college.

I believe this was about student loan fraud.

She was living in public housing at the time.

He had just graduated from a

pretty rundown high school.

He didn't have much money, and I haven't found any records of him working anything but manual labor at the time.

But if they got married and they apply for student loans,

they become independents.

So their parents' income is no longer included on their application.

So they would immediately, well, first of all,

he was going to be paying the out-of-country, out-of-state rates otherwise.

So it certainly was a boon for him.

And both of them, their parents, were cut out of the picture and they had nothing to their names at the time.

So their student loan rates would have been fantastic.

Now,

the idea that we're going to throw someone into jail over cheating on student loans, it might sound like it's not going to happen, but the laws for fraud on a FAFSA form are incredibly, incredibly serious.

Each instance of perjury can lead to a felony and five years of jail.

All right, David, I want to have you back when you have some more information because it's a lot deeper than just this, as if this isn't bad enough.

David Steinberg, thank you so much.

Arthur Herman is one of my favorite authors, one of my favorite historians.

He's a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.

He also

has been consulting a bit with

the Pentagon and others on our national security because he has written so much about how we've done it before.

The question is, can we do it again?

He's written

an essay that is out, and probably not a lot of people have read it, and they should.

America's STEM Crisis Threatens Our National Security.

Welcome to the program, Arthur.

How are you?

Hey, it's a pleasure to be back here, Glenn.

How are you?

Good.

So, Arthur,

I'm very concerned about the 5G dilemma that we're in.

It doesn't look like our allies are going to go along with Donald Trump.

And I think part of that reason is because

we don't have a real viable solution.

They're way ahead of us on this.

Also,

between 5G and ASI, or AI and AGI,

I think, and I'd like to hear your opinion, I think this is the most important national security crisis since maybe Star Wars with Ronald Reagan,

and

if not, it might be as big as the need of a Manhattan Project in World War II.

Aaron Ross Powell, it could be.

The other comparison, historical comparison, which I point to in my essay that you referred to and very generously mentioned, is the Sputnik

and the advent of Sputnik when the United States realized it couldn't be complacent anymore about, oh, we'll get there eventually, because there was a competitor who had found a way to get there first.

And the implications from not just in terms of getting the first one on the moon, but the implications for strategic advantage, the possibility of nuclear weapons in space, suddenly galvanized American energies and got the government and its leading research and university institutions focused on we have to change course and we have to really speed up the development of where we want, where we are now to where we need to be in order to keep up with a competitor.

And I don't think I think that the 5G you're absolutely right.

5G is a moment that could be in some ways existential for America's information technology and high-tech.

But because

DOD and our friends at the Pentagon have trouble getting their minds around it because this is different from your usual military threat, the way your weapons were,

the way

even SDI was conceived of, was dealing dealing with a real military threat that they could isolate and talk about discreetly in the ways in which they were trained to do.

And 5G represents, as does AI and as does quantum, represent a bold new frontier, and it's really hard for our leading government agencies to come to grips with it.

And that's what I'm trying to do at my end.

And this essay that we're talking about is sort of one piece of getting that puzzle together and getting us ready for what we need to do.

So let me go back to the essay first real quick on something, and then I want to talk to you about STEM.

You mentioned quantum, you just mentioned it there.

How close are we to quantum computing?

Well, we already have quantum computers that can solve certain kinds of discrete problems, ones that are really suited for the way in which quantum computers

do the numbers and make calculations.

And again, the issue is not that they go faster, it's that they are able to skip steps because of the physics underlying how

quantum computers work.

But the problems they deal with are fairly elementary.

They're designed to be solved by quantum computers.

It's a kind of lab experiment.

The quantum computer that everybody worries about, rightly,

and that keeps me awake at night from time to time, when I think about where we could be if we lose that race, is the one that could have the capacity of decrypting public encryption systems.

And I've written about the challenge and the consequences of not dealing with that threat, of not preparing for Q Day, as I call it, and for not winning that quantum race.

I would say the timeline is steadily shrinking, Glenn.

For a while, I think people thought, oh, this is out there decades away.

I was at a conference in Krakow, Poland, on cybersecurity, and there was a scientist there saying, oh, this is going to be decades away.

I think most people recognize now we're talking five to ten years out.

And the big question is not just when it comes, Glenn, but who gets it first.

Correct.

We need to be there.

We need to be there first.

All right.

So in your essay, and this is how it relates to the average person, I remember growing up, I was born in 64.

So I came towards, you know, I don't remember Sputnik or anything else.

I do remember the moon landing, just barely, but I do remember the moon landing.

But here's the thing I remember as a child.

Every boy my age wanted to be an astronaut.

Everyone wanted to work for NASA.

Everybody wanted to work on rockets.

And

that was something that was really pushed, being, you know, starting at Sputnik.

They really,

the government knew we are going to be left in the dust unless we ignite the imaginations of children.

Yeah.

And it worked, didn't it?

I mean, it did.

You had a whole cultural shift that emphasized going to space, the glamour of engineering, of aerospace.

Okay, maybe you couldn't go to the moon, but you know what?

Maybe you could fly at altitudes no one had ever flown before.

You know, things like the U-2 caught people's imaginations.

And I think, frankly, Glenn, I think we can do that again.

I think

when you talk to people, even kids, about quantum computers, about quantum physics, and you use terms like teleportation in terms of quantum entanglement, when you talk about time crystals, where you're actually able to, using the right materials, freeze time so that the entanglement between qubits lasts longer to increase the

calculations that you can manage in these nanoseconds of linkage between quantum events.

When you talk the eyes light up, I mean, it sounds like so fascinating and so cool, but we're not there, and our school system isn't there.

And you and I have had discussions, and we understand what a disaster our school systems have been.

And now

it's the universities and the colleges have not been much better.

But we have the opportunity with these advanced technologies to really touch on the inner geek for kids in a way that hasn't been possible before.

And I'm looking for, I'm hoping that we can find the right kinds of partners who can go and say, let's get some programs together.

Let's look at the best practices models.

Look at the ways in which countries like Taiwan and South Korea and Norway and Great Britain have been able to foster strong science and engineering

programs for their young people.

And let's think about ways in which this could be a new American, a new American renaissance

in terms of science, in terms of technology.

And this isn't just a good idea.

It's become an issue of national and economic security of such weight and moment that if we don't get started now, I really worry about

what's going to happen over the next couple decades.

We're going to have such a shortfall of Americans who know how to do stuff

that it's besides work as Barista at Starbucks,

that I think we're

even private companies

and companies like Google and even Facebook understand that they're going to have a real workforce problem and a research problem if we don't address these issues.

Well, we already are.

I mean,

I know

it's not out

in the public, but I do know that there are people that have been offered large sums of money from China to be able to even work over here

and stay here.

But China is throwing money at American mines to bring them over or have them work for them over here.

And you have the opposite problem here.

The government isn't doing much and

the giant corporations don't really want to work for America.

No, and you've got to find ways to incentivize them to do that.

And one of of the ways in which to do that, I believe, is through making them partners in dealing with this high-tech STEM crisis and make them realize, look,

this is an issue which is not just about national security, assuming you care about that.

And I think a lot of them do, actually.

I think the globalist agenda that they have embraced over the last couple of decades,

it actually wears thin

when confronted confronted

in a really serious way with what happens if America does lose out on its competitive advantage with a challenger like China.

They all understand that.

China's not going to be the next big market for them.

It's going to be the next big competitor for them and what they're trying to do.

But what you have is a moment in which you can say, look, your workforce, your future as companies, as innovative companies in what you do best

is going to be in serious jeopardy, as will our national security, if we don't have more Americans excited about science, excited about engineering.

And you know what, Glenn?

There's a secret aspect of this, which I didn't, I mean, I talk about the implications of this for high-tech STEM, but if we can get American colleges, universities, get their heads straight about what's happening to them with

the brain drain to China,

the way in which they are training future competitors, to get them focused on having strong programs in science and engineering and mathematics, we can start to open the door for other kinds of reforms in colleges and universities.

And I really believe that, that there's ways in which everything that we've deplored about universities and colleges is becoming basically Marxist training grounds.

and leaving our kids culturally and intellectually deprived as part of that leftist agenda, we can begin to make inroads at that end by driving this wedge with regard to you have a task and responsibility to America to make us and make our kids prepared for the future.

And it starts with science and engineering, but you know what?

The next step will be in areas like history.

The next step will be in areas like philosophy.

and serious understanding of our world and of America's unique place in that.

So there is a lot at stake here, I think, that goes, that even if you look beyond the question of science and engineering as part of our national and economic security, there is an aspect of this that has to do with saving what's left of the Western cultural legacy that I think

can also come into play here.

And I know that's something that you and I have thought about and pondered and worried about for a long time.

And I see this as one way to start changing the direction and the momentum on those issues.

Arthur, I've only got about a minute left, and I have to ask you a question off topic.

Yesterday, I was doing

a thing on history and how we've lost history.

And I think, and I can't remember, but I'm pretty close to these numbers.

Out of like the 77

major universities in America, if you go and take and you want to be a history major, you do not have to take one

single semester or one course on American history.

And 69 of those,

I don't think, even teach American history, or maybe it's 69 out of the 77, you don't have to take any American history at all.

And I wanted to know, how do you understand history, with an exception of ancient history, how do you understand history at all without including America?

It's baffling.

And I'll bet if you dig even deeper than that, and I know this was the case even a couple of decades ago, if you wanted to major in American history at top-level schools like Yale, like Harvard, you never had to take a course in the American Revolution.

It wasn't a requirement.

So, and how do you understand American history without understanding that pivotal moment

and the birth

of America and of the principles that animate it?

There's a lot of very serious work.

There's a lot of corruption, that intellectual as well as moral corruption, that underlies this.

What we can do here is begin to sort of change the debate and the discussion about what universities' responsibilities are.

And that includes science and engineering, but I think it will also include history.

I always say my concluding remark to you, Glenn, is if you want a quiet life, don't study history.

You're exactly right.

It is filled with challenges and paradoxes and complexities and getting kids away from understanding the true nature of American history and the real dimensions of the past is one of the ways in which universities and the left have left our kids culturally adrift.

Arthur Herman, the author of Freedom Forge, which Freedom's Forge is one of the best books that you can read.

Gandhi's Churchill, also another one that is so

timely right now, but it was written in 97.

The idea of decline in Western history.

A must-read from Arthur Ehrman.

Thank you so much, Arthur.

I appreciate it.

All right, let me take a quick break here, tell you about Filter Buy.

I know nothing about how to maintain my home.

I really nothing.

I think that's why Tanya is a big fan of Filter Buy, a bigger fan than I am.

We just ordered Filter Buy a few months ago, and like magic, bing, the filters show up when they're supposed to.

Whoa, what's that?

And they just show up, and all you have to do is just pop them in, throw the old ones away, and then you don't have to worry about it.

You're not stressing out your HVAC system.

You're breathing clean air, and you don't have to run to Home Depot.

You don't have to be reminded about nothing.

It just shows up.

The only thing they don't do is put it in for you.

If they can't do that, well, it's made here in America that you get a great price on it, a great discount.

You even get a 5% discount if you order like I do, just order to have them show up at your house.

It is absolutely fantastic.

This is the kind of service that you're really looking for.

This is the modern kind of service where you order once and you forget about it.

Filterbuy.com.

Get your filters changed, get them changed, and get the right filters in them with filterbuy.com.

That's filterbuy.com.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Stu, let me ask you a question.

The $426.5 million contract,

how much does he lose if he just doesn't show up?

Mike Trout?

Yeah.

If he doesn't show up, I think he'd lose $426 million.

No, I mean he's out of work for a little while, but then he just starts to fake it.

He gets injured?

Oh, It's all fully guaranteed.

Oh my gosh, I would injure myself on the first day.

Am I alone in this?

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Stu just told

just a horrible story about a guy who lost his house.

He was an immigrant, Stu?

Yes, he came here, I think, gosh, in the 90s, 90s, and made a life for himself and got married and got a house and everything else.

Then his wife dies of cancer.

He loses his job.

He's having to, you know, turn off all the lights so he doesn't use electricity because he can't find another job.

Then in the end, somebody steals his home with home title fraud.

It's just a horrible story.

Right.

And, you know,

once that happens, your life gets much, much worse.

Oh, my gosh.

Because now you've got to deal with trying to dig yourself out of.

I'd love to talk to this guy.

Let's just see if we get a hold of him.

I'd love to talk to this guy.

Anyway, home title lock.

That's not going to happen

if you have home title lock.

They are the only ones that are watching over your title.

If somebody tries to imagine, it wouldn't be such a tragic story

if he had home title lock.

They would have said, hey, somebody's trying to steal your home, and they would have caught him.

It's home title lock.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

All right.

I, you know, you know how sometimes

we're saying the same things.

Have you ever been in an argument where you realize, hang on, wait a minute, hold on.

I think we're saying the same thing.

I think we're just using different language.

And you can get into the ballpark.

Does that ever happen?

Yes, all the time.

Okay.

So that happens.

And I want to give this the benefit of the doubt that maybe this is what's happening.

And

if it is happening,

we can find our way towards each other.

If it's not happening, it's insanity.

We'll go there in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

First, let me tell you how great I feel.

I feel great today.

I got up this morning.

Relief factor was kicking in.

I wasn't walking like I was hobbled when I got out of bed.

You know,

some days the pain is so bad, my wife has to button my shirts or tie my shoes.

And it is, it's, it's,

it's the worst thing that's, honestly, it's the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with is

having to ask my wife or, God forbid, somebody else to tie my shoes.

Because it just feels like I can't do a basic thing to say.

Yeah, I mean, I can't, when you can't button your shirt, when you can't hold on to the button and push it through, it's like you're four.

I mean, I just want to suggest that perhaps the reason you can't button your shirt might no, no, I know there is that reason, too.

But I got new shirts.

I got bigger shirts, okay?

I got bigger shirts.

Anyway, relief factor.

Please try this.

Just try it.

My wife convinced me over a year ago, honey, what do you have to lose?

And I'm like, it's not going to work.

It's all healthy.

It's all natural.

There's no chemicals in it.

How is it possibly going to work?

It worked.

It worked.

It doesn't work for everybody.

Only works on 70% of the people that try it.

Be part of that 70%.

Try it right now.

Try it for three weeks.

Take it every day.

If you don't see any difference, stop taking it.

It's ReliefFactor.

ReliefFactor.com.

800-500-8384, 800-500-8384 or ReliefFactor.com.

Okay, Stu,

I want you to take us to this audio.

I want to play this audio.

You set it up and then I want you to listen to it all.

And then I'm going to come back and take it apart line by line.

Because maybe

we're saying the same thing, just different language.

You're being hopeful here.

I'm being hopeful.

I'm trying to be hopeful.

Okay, this is a singer Sam Smith.

You're familiar with Sam?

All of his hits.

All of his hits.

I don't know any of them.

I'm sure you love him.

And his orchestra.

And all of the things he's accomplished in his life.

Super, super classics.

So he's doing

an interview on Instagram with an actress, Jamila Jamil.

Again.

Jamila and all of her hit

TV.

TV.

All of her appearances.

I love whatever she's on.

Stage, screen, doesn't matter.

Love it.

Anywhere she happens to appear at any given time is something you're a fan of.

Just like anytime Sam Smith sings or dances or knits,

crochet, macrame.

When he's singing

country or RB or rap, songs.

Raps, death metal, whatever it is.

Whatever it is, I love it.

We love it.

So

he has an interview, and he's talking about, yes.

He's talking about his gender.

Now, I say his gender inappropriately because that is apparently not the situation.

I should not call it.

No, not on this program.

You can say it.

His gender.

And here's his commentary.

I recently was looking in, reading stories about people who come out as genderqueer, non-binary, and I've always had a bit of a war within my body and my mind about how

you define yourself.

Yes, because I do think like a woman sometimes in my head and I've sometimes sat there and questioned do I want a sex change and it's something that I still think about like do I want to but I don't think it is.

When I saw the the word non-binary genderqueer and I read into it and I heard these people speaking, I was like

that is me.

Would you explain what that means to you, non-binary?

Non-binary genderqueer is that you do not identify in a gender.

You are just you.

You are a mixture of all different things.

You're your own special creation.

That's how I take it.

It's not, I'm not male or female.

I think I float somewhere in between.

Okay.

Now we could

go for days on that, just having fun on that.

We could get really angry.

about that and say, this is crazy, roller.

Or we could say, hey, let's look at this here for a second.

Start Start at the beginning and get ready to stop.

Stop when I tell you.

Here we go.

I recently was looking and reading stories about people who come out as genderqueer, non-binary, and I've always had a bit of a war within my body and my mind about how

you define yourself.

Yes, because I do.

Who hasn't had

conflict in their mind of how they define themselves?

I'm not necessarily talking about sexuality.

I'll get into that in a second.

How you define yourself?

Give me some other choices other than that.

Who you are, what you believe.

You know, maybe you were one-way when you were a kid.

Maybe you were a drug addict and you were defining yourself as an alcoholic.

Yeah, right.

Maybe just politically you were a liberal and then a conservative.

Maybe

you think yourself outgoing and maybe

you're really an introvert.

Right, right.

I mean,

have you ever had moments where you think, I don't know how to define myself?

I am, I am

religious or not.

People go through that struggle, right?

I'm really religious, and yet I'm pro-choice.

I'm part this, but I'm also part that.

Yeah, I want to be a good family member of a good dad, but I'm breaking this law that I'm not telling someone.

Okay, we don't have to

we don't have we don't have to go to

the crack scenario with Cranston, or, you know, we don't have to go there.

Oh, are we breaking bad?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that's a good one.

I'm a teacher, all right, and I want to help my family with the cancer treatment.

You gotta cook a little methancella to get there, correct?

So I don't think they need to go there, but we have conflicts in us, okay?

That is our life.

We have conflicts in us, things that don't match.

That's life.

Sure.

Okay.

Now, listen to what he says next.

Think like a woman sometimes in my head, and I've sometimes sat down and questioned, do I want a sex change?

Okay, so

I'm gonna go to two places here.

Okay, first of all,

sometimes I think like a woman.

All right, what

first place?

What does that even mean?

What does that even mean?

Because I know women who you could hang out.

I know women who make me blush because they are just so

gutter guy-ish.

Okay, you know what I mean?

Yeah.

Who are just, who can swear up like the worst guy you can talk about sex and everything else.

I know really, really sweet women who are quiet and like, would you just have like

a little iced tea?

Sure.

And are just wonderful.

I know women who live for their children, and I know women who are like, I don't want any children.

So what is it that when you say, I think like a woman, what does that even mean?

Thank you.

Because here's the thing.

Women don't think like each other.

They think like themselves.

Yes, there are some commonalities, potentially,

in a general sense.

You can say women enjoy certain things or think a certain way, but people are individuals.

You don't think like a gender.

You can't, that's what's amazing about this.

He said it there, too.

It's like how I feel in my head.

Ellen described it the same way.

Being transgendered is just a feeling you have in your mind.

Well, that's an interesting observation.

It doesn't change your gender, though.

It's just a thought you have.

How you think in your mind is just you.

It's how you think in your mind.

You're not thinking like a gender.

A gender,

gender has nothing to do with thought.

So, Tony Robbins,

who I told you the other day, I was with this weekend, and

he talked about

he's very ill.

He's very ill, except you wouldn't know that.

He gets up every day.

He's thrown up every day.

He's got massive mercury poisoning.

And he has been struggling with this for a long time.

But here's what he said.

I built this Tony Robbins.

The man I am today, I built it.

And my body is a vehicle for carrying that man around.

And I'm in charge.

My body's not in charge.

Okay.

That is a healthy man right there.

I command my body to get up.

I mean, he could barely do the things that he does.

He gets up and he's like, I'm doing it.

Go.

And he's understanding

the conflict in him.

He was a fat, dumpy, lazy guy.

And he didn't want to be a fat, lazy, dumpy guy.

And so he did the things that he had to do to not be fat, dumpy, lazy, and broke.

And he created that guy.

Okay?

He chose who he was going to be.

So many of us don't choose who we're going to be.

Life is a choice.

Everything is a choice.

We think that life happens to us.

Oh my gosh, this has happened to me.

No.

No,

life doesn't just happen to you.

You choose.

You choose.

How are you going to deal with the things that are happening?

Yeah.

And you can deal with them or not deal with them.

That's empowering.

That's empowering.

And we act like empowering now is you are the victim of this gender thing that controls you.

Right.

You don't control me.

It doesn't control you at all.

Now, let me say this.

He also says, you know, I feel like a woman.

Well, what does a woman feel like?

Now, I will tell you that I have been made fun of my whole life.

Yes.

My whole life.

It's about 80% of my job is to make fun of you for being like a woman.

Right.

I cry a lot.

I love Broadway shows.

You know, I'm artsy.

I'm, you know, I'm more of a woman than my wife is in some regards.

Okay.

My wife, my wife and my daughter were the ones that are like, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Who's playing?

Who's playing this weekend?

Is there a game going on this weekend?

No interest in sports whatsoever.

Zero.

Don't care.

Don't not interested.

Okay.

Does that mean I'm part woman?

No.

It just means that's who I am.

As an individual.

As an individual.

As a unique person,

defined by a gender.

And we create who we're going to be, who we want to be.

You can either

life will create who you are.

And you have to ask this question of yourself.

Are you a product of everything that has happened to you in your life and all of the people who have been around you and who who have defined you your whole life?

Or are you the person you designed?

I'm the person I designed.

I'm the person that went through and I looked at all those conflicts and I said, wait a minute, take everything out.

I don't believe anything.

I don't believe anything because it was put into me by other people.

So I'm going to find out what's true and what I believe.

Put them in.

And as you start putting those things in to build who you are, you start looking at them.

And when they're in conflict, take everything back out.

Something's wrong.

Something's wrong.

You can't live in internal conflict.

So which are you?

Most people just want to live in that internal conflict.

So two things.

One, society does tell you, well, you're like a girl.

Get over it.

The second thing is, if that's the way you feel,

That means you're thinking like an individual.

I don't fit into any category.

Fine, you're an individual.

And he goes on to actually explain that pretty well.

And let's go there when we come back.

Take one minute break and then we'll come back and finish this up.

I want to talk to you a little bit about Liberty Safe.

The photos of the tornado, the tornado that ripped through Alabama is just horrible.

By the way, Mercury One could use your help on disaster relief.

Let me just do this real quick here.

Because of the Missouri and Mississippi River basins that have just been devastated, Mercury One Disaster Relief Partners, City Impact, Operation BBQ Relief, and Operation Blessing are on the ground right now positioning to assist during this time of flooding in the Midwest.

It's expecting to worsen.

We need water.

We need food.

We need your support.

As soon as it is safe and the waters receive, We will be there.

We are already positioned there.

So if you happen to be in that area, help is coming.

As soon as the waters recede, we are there.

Please hold all these people in your prayers.

And if you can help us, please just go to mercury1.org.

Mercury1.org as we work to restore hope

in times like these and hope in our neighbors.

We're all in this together.

MercuryOne.org.

Okay, Liberty Safe.

As I'm seeing these tornadoes, we've seen it with the California wildfires.

We've seen it over and over again

where a tornado will roll through and everything's gone except for the Liberty Safe that's been bolted to the ground.

Right.

We've seen them not bolted, picked up by a hurricane or a tornado and dropped two blocks away, still fine.

Closed.

Everything is in it.

Everything is fine.

It's crazy.

Right.

And I think it's important to note that you can, you're not defined by the fact that you keep purses in your safe, too, that protects me.

I don't have to define you as.

No, I don't think that that defines you.

You could be an individual, right?

You could still love watching the videos of Liberty Safe somehow surviving giant concrete blocks being dropped on them from cranes and still store some nice handbags.

I mean, I don't think you're a woman, you could, but you know, no sensible guy would do that.

Anyway,

it's libertysafe.com.

Go there now, libertysafe.com.

So, Cabela's or LibertySafe.com.

We break for 10 seconds, then back.

So, playing this audio of Sam Smith, who says he's a non-gender, non-binary individual, whatever.

Let's listen to it again from the beginning.

Get ready to stop it.

Here we go.

I recently was looking in reading stories about people who come out as genderqueer, non-binary.

And I've always had a bit of a war within my body and my mind about how

you define yourself.

Yes, because I do think like a woman sometimes in my head and I've sometimes sat down and questioned do I want a sex change?

And it's something that I still think about, like, do I want to?

But I don't think it is.

When I saw the word non-binary, genderqueer and I read into it and I heard these people speaking, I was like, f ⁇ , that is me.

Would you explain what that means to you, non-binary?

Non-binary gender query is that you do not identify in a gender.

You are just you.

You are a mixture of all different things.

You're your own special creation.

That's how.

Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop.

We don't need a new word for that.

We don't need a new gender for that.

That doesn't make any sense.

You're creating things that don't need to be created.

He says non-binary means that you are just, you're a special person.

You're a special creation.

You're unique.

Yes, that's called an individual.

Yeah.

All individuals are different.

It's the fingerprints should have tipped you off on this.

We are all different.

And that means not just our bodies and our shapes and our opinions, but everything about us is different.

We have this core

of we're human beings.

We're human beings.

And that human body functions a certain way to procreate.

It is still an animal, but you have something special inside.

You have, you can call it a spirit, a soul, you can call it mind, whatever it is you want to call it, but that's what makes you, you,

not your body.

Your body does not define you.

Yeah.

And I mean, our

criticism of this sort of line of thought is gender-based.

So the one part of that I would certainly disagree with is I want to get a sex change because that doesn't make any sense to me.

You know, we can go into that

another time.

But the rest of that is just basic, not only just conservative thought, you're an individual, but it's religious thought.

Yes.

Right?

Like, you are a special individual person.

Every life matters.

You're different.

You are not defined by collectivist notions of gender and race and all of this.

This is an individualist, conservative, and in many ways, religious view.

You are different because you are you.

You're a different person.

You don't fall into categories and you're not defined by them.

Right.

And we make categories because

people

need to feel like they're part of something bigger than themselves.

It is a

human nature.

This comes from

millions of years of humans roaming the earth, and they realized, you know what, if we stick together, we'll be safe.

So, we're going to stick together as our own little clan here.

And then, if we're attacked, we all work together.

And if somebody turns against the group, we have to ostracize them and get them out.

Now, that doesn't happen when everybody is relaxed, when they feel safe.

But the more unsafe they feel, the more tribal they become because you're either part of us or you're against us.

That's very natural from just human existence.

The problem is

we are

losing sight that we are part of something bigger.

And it used to be we're Americans.

And instead of going bigger to

maybe even a better deal is we're all humans, we're all brothers and sisters, we've gone smaller.

And we've gone smaller and we've divided ourselves because people are afraid and they're making you afraid.

They're attacking you.

Do you know that?

They're attacking you.

You know what?

You elect these people.

These people over here.

Oh, they don't like you.

They won't have anything to do with you.

In fact, they want to round you up.

They're bad, bad people.

That's what we've been hearing.

Right now, our quality of life in the United States is the lowest ever recorded.

When we say we're happy, you know, as Americans, I'm generally happy.

It's the lowest recorded right now.

Really?

Yeah.

Why?

No idea.

Things are very good.

Because

we have spoken that into existence for the last 15 years, maybe 20 years.

We went from, hey, we can't lose this.

This is special on 9-11 right directly to we're a bad country.

And we've been saying that for 15 to 20 years.

And we're starting to believe it.

We're starting to believe this is the greatest job economy in the last century.

Do you feel that way?

Do you feel that way?

This is the greatest prosperity the world has ever known.

Do you feel that way?

Or do you feel poor?

This is the spoken word working on all of us.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Social security numbers sell for about a buck on the dark web.

So you lose your social security number, it's worth about a buck.

Now,

you have somebody access to somebody's medical records?

That's up to a thousand bucks.

Really?

And the reason why is because it has everything about you.

It has your place of birth.

It has your social security number.

It has your email addresses.

It has your credit card information.

It has your social security number.

Has absolutely everything.

Plus, if there's everything

in your

medical records that can be used as blackmail, it's worth a lot of money.

Now, despite this, there was a survey that was just done.

Only 16% of healthcare providers have a fully functional

cybersecurity program.

Only 16%.

Sam Smith, he's a singer who has come out uh and said i'm non-binary gender because i think like a woman which i don't even understand what that means that's an insult to women they don't all think alike yeah they all think alike no that they don't all think alike not all men think alike not all people think alike that's a good thing yeah and and and they're using this language to to basically say everybody's oppressed no

No, you're oppressed when you choose to be oppressed.

Yeah, and he actually describes himself as a kind of a special mixture.

You know,

my own unique individual.

Yes.

Yeah,

that's America, man.

That's what we are.

That's what we're supposed to be.

Right.

Sorry to call you man.

Man.

But one other interesting thing I thought out of the interview, and he's describing himself as an individual, and I don't know where I, that's why I'm non-binary gender queer.

That's how I know I am.

And she asks him a question.

She words it a very specific way.

What does that non-binary genderqueer mean to you?

To you.

To you.

What does it mean to you?

He then goes through his whole explanation of what it means.

And at the end, he says, that's what that means to me.

As if the word doesn't mean anything generally, it just means things to different people.

There's no, even on their new terms, even on these new made-up descriptions of just being an individual, they have come up with words that they themselves can't even define with any confidence.

And that is, I mean, you've talked about this for at least a couple of years.

Postmodernism at its finest, there is no truth.

There's not even truth about what genderqueer is.

They can't even define it between two people who agree that it's an issue.

And it's because they have taken this mass approach and said everybody into the same boat.

You're a Joe Lieberman, you're a Van Jones, you're a Bill Ayers.

That's a pretty wide group of people, and they believe a lot of different things.

And

they don't all agree, but they all agreed for political reasons to get somebody elected.

And those groups started to, for instance,

LGBT.

Okay, that's a whole group of people.

Well, they don't all believe in the same thing.

And now the T part is going against the L and the G part

because they're like, no, we're not what you say we are.

Where you don't have anything big enough

that is true to rally around.

There's no fundamental truth.

It's why it's always being redefined by every person who gets their hand on whatever word or concept is

in conversation.

Our whole life will be decided by whoever grabs the pendulum, whoever stops and says, this is what it means.

Good luck.

That's what it's going to mean.

Where if you define yourself as an individual and you don't base yourself on color, race, creed,

gender,

you are an individual.

Yeah.

That's big enough.

That's big enough.

You can be your own person.

He started this talking about how maybe we're just kind of saying the same things, but using different words to describe it.

And this goes back to how he describes, Sam Smith describes what he is.

I've heard Ellen describe transgendered people the same way.

What you don't understand is it's gender is just like, it's like a feeling that you have in your mind.

And it's like, well, that might be something, right?

Like, that's something we can talk about.

They used to call that tomboy, right?

Like, that was something that was, that used to be a term.

I don't know if it still is.

But where, like,

a girl didn't have typical female traits, did like to do a lot of things boys did.

And that was, that's an interesting conversation, but that's not what the word is.

Like, gender is a thing that used to mean something.

And I feel like we're doing both describing, like, I'm not denying someone who is a woman can feel like the have male traits and have feelings like a man.

That can obviously happen.

Individuals are different.

They feel different ways.

But that doesn't change the box you check on the form when

it changes science.

Yeah.

It doesn't change science.

And that's the problem.

We have mixed feelings with science.

For instance, run a city.

How are you going to run a city if I can't

if I'm so worried about offending people that I can't say basic truth.

So in other words, don't take a dump on the sidewalk.

Okay, that's about as basic as we can get.

Sorry.

I mean, it's controversial, sure, but my sidewalk's not your poop jar because you probably want to keep them for what?

Because you're a special individual.

So the sidewalk is not where you poop.

It's not where your dogs even poop.

Okay.

In some cities, we still find people if you haven't picked up your own dog poop let alone your poop

so we can't say that anymore

we can't say ah you know what the place to shoot up heroin is not right here sorry we can't say these things to people we can't say heroin a hair a heroin user might be suffering from a lot of things

but we should help them not encourage them or excuse them.

It's destructive behavior, and it hurts everybody around them as well.

Everybody hurts society, hurts them, hurts everybody.

So, we should help them and look for things that work.

But ignoring it or saying it's just okay doesn't work.

I'm telling you, Seattle is about to go.

Seattle,

you're going to burn yourself down.

It has gone so mad in Seattle.

I want to get the guy on from KOMO.

If you have a chance, just Google search KOMO, Seattle is dying.

It is stunning.

Coming from a Seattle television station, they did a documentary about what's really happening.

And it's fascinating to watch them because they talk about compassion.

The guy who did it is very, very smart.

He knows that everybody is going to yell at, you know, anybody who says, hey, there's a problem here.

What are you just not?

You don't care about the homeless.

You don't care about the people.

And he makes a very compassionate case that this is wrong.

This is wrong for them.

This is wrong for us.

This is just wrong.

We should have compassion, but this is not compassion.

When I saw this documentary, I haven't been

back home for a while since my dad died.

And I have to tell you,

I could not believe that was Seattle.

I mean, I know it was bad.

I could not believe that those were pictures of Seattle.

Wow, really?

That bad.

It's that bad.

You have to watch it.

Seattle is dying, K-O-M-O.

But it is the...

Now, he didn't get into politics at all, but he did talk about the city council.

And they showed some things in different Seattle area towns and city council and how these guys are just, they don't care.

They're not listening to you, they're just rulers.

They'll listen to you, but you can speak in front of them.

That's probably the best way to put it.

You can speak in front of them, but they don't actually care what you say.

They don't care what you say.

Well, and how do you run a business in a town where that's allowed?

How do you run a restaurant or a grocery store or a bank when people have to walk through

people who are doing heroin and pooping on the sidewalk?

I mean, it's impossible.

We all know this.

If anybody has ever tried to do anything in front of a zoning commission or, you know, you had to, we had to go in front of,

this is in Texas, in front of a tax,

I don't even know what committee,

because in my neighborhood, they jacked our taxes like 400%, just

400%.

And

mine was worse because I own three acres.

Most of my neighbors have one acre.

So they said, well, your taxes,

you could make this into three separate homes.

So we're going to charge you for three homes instead of just one.

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

First of all, you can't do that.

There's only one home here.

And the way the house is built, it's not built up.

It's built out.

So it's sprawling.

And so it would go in to alter.

I'd have to tear this house down to cut it up.

It's a three-acre lot.

We went in front of them.

First, we had to to go get an attorney.

We had to write this letter to them.

They rejected it.

But what they rejected it was literally on a comma, on a comma.

And when we went, Tanya had to go with the attorney.

And they said, when she was standing there, the lady who was the head of the tax commission or whatever it is, she was openly talking about how much she hated all these rich people.

Just hate all these rich people.

They just, they're just, they're just, so, really?

Because we're the ones building the hospitals.

We're the ones building the fire stations, which, by the way, is nicer than any house I've ever lived in, including the one I now own.

This fire station is mind-boggling nice.

Of course, because we're paying 400% increases in taxes.

So anyway, she talks about how she just hates rich people.

And Tanya is standing there, and she hears it.

And here she comes, and she's like, hey, my three acres is not worth what you guys say it is.

And they look at the paperwork and she said, no, this is something that you were contesting last year.

No, we said you changed it last year and you changed it again this year.

We had an increase this year.

We're saying, no, this is wrong this year

because we missed

your magic deadline last year.

And she said, well, how do I know you meant that?

Well, because we're the ones who wrote it.

We wrote it.

We wrote it.

See the date?

It wasn't sent last year.

It was sent this year.

We wrote it.

I'm standing here.

Well, we can't do that just on your word.

Wait, what?

Whose word would it be?

Whose word would it be?

We wrote it.

And the guy, one of the guys on the panel said, I don't really care.

We'll do whatever you want to do.

And looked at the woman who said, I hate rich people.

And she said, rejected.

That's Texas justice?

That's what Texas is becoming?

Now you tell me that hasn't, something like that hasn't happened to you or somebody like that in your own town.

They don't care.

They're drunk with power and they don't care because we don't, our Constitution and our republic is not working properly.

The way to do it is to decrease their power.

Not to increase it.

Decrease their power.

Seattle, the Seattle mayor, the Seattle City Council is on on an absolute power trip.

That's the problem that needs to be solved.

And if they don't listen to the people in the end, there's only two options.

They have to become an iron fist

and put people in a cage where you don't move.

And with technology today, they will and can do that.

Or the people rise up and there's either a revolution or there is a revolution at the ballot ballot box.

But one way or another, it doesn't remain this way.

We have to reduce the power of these people.

And quickly, Glenn, you mentioned a human poop going into a jar.

We'll have a beto update coming up in just a minute.

Okay.

Thank you.

Good.

Looking forward to that.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this FR.

It's American financing.

If you're getting a nice tax refund this year, you should consider putting it toward a down payment on a new home.

Now is the time.

Rental properties are becoming more expensive.

They have gone up 5% in the last year.

I believe if what's coming is coming,

you're going to see a massive increase in what it costs to rent.

American financing is there.

They are salary-based mortgage consultants.

You're going to have access to custom loans and assistant programs that can get you into a home for much less.

So stop renting and become a homeowner.

It's easier than you think.

American financing is not going to put you into a loan that puts you into financial danger.

I talked to these people just a couple of weeks ago and we were talking about this and they were like, Glenn, we don't need the money that bad.

There's nothing worse than having somebody buy a home and then their life was just too close to the edge and their life falls apart.

We don't want anything to do with that.

No.

They really care about, you know, they will tell you, you shouldn't do this.

You shouldn't do this.

This is not good.

Because if one thing goes wrong in your life, it's just not good.

American financing.

They don't work for the bank.

They work for you.

Thank you, stations, for joining us.

We have some breaking news now.

We go over to our poop expert for a Beto Poop update, Stu Bregier.

Stu.

Thank you, Glenn.

I appreciate that, and thank you for the promotion.

You're right.

You had mentioned human poop going into different receptacles in our last segment.

Yes.

And it did remind me of a news story from the Washington Post about Beto O'Rourke and the fact that he has some strange habits.

No.

Yes, including this particular story.

One time, according to a friend, Betto collected an especially green turd from one of their kids' diapers

and put it in a bowl,

telling his wife it was avocado.

My apologies if you're currently at a Mexican restaurant.

Or having your toast in California.

because there could be some negative consequences to this particular story.

Now,

they would not confirm this, but Betto did say it sounded like something he would do.

Again, this is human poop being put into a bowl and telling his wife it was avocado.

So that's one of your frontrunners there for the Democratic nomination.

He also, by the way, when he was on the road in January, this is disgusting.

He was a little low energy

and decided to, quote, eat New Mexican dirt

because it had regenerative powers.

This guy is bizarre.

I mean, there's something wrong with him.

Number one, he's bizarre.

Yeah.

Number two, have you ever seen a candidate get all of the guns from the party pointed at him so quickly?

I don't know if they're scared of Beto.

I don't know if they think he's a real threat.

Every other candidate is coming after him.

They're all leaking stories.

Oh,

I think that they think he's a threat.

Yeah, it must be that because they are coming after him hard.

Now, of course, it's hard to not be able to achieve the criticism when the person you're criticizing is actually putting human poop in bowls.

Okay, so I want to talk to you a little bit about that because, well, not poop, not poop.

I do have a story that we should explore, perhaps, on tomorrow's show.

Oh, my.

It doesn't involve baby poop,

mainly because I didn't think of it, but

let's start there tomorrow.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
