Stu (5:49)

So, Mom, Donnie had another rally. What's the. What's the problem with that?

Glenn Beck (5:54)

I know, I know. They are. Now. They were talking yesterday about the protesters, said they were acting from the belly of the beast. Remember, we're the great Satan. Israel's a little Satan. This is Islamic Jihad. And we now have Americans engaging in standing up and waving Islamic Jihad flags. Look at the size of this crowd in New York. I will never look at the Palestinian flag again the same way after I. After seeing Dinesh d', Souza's, his new movie about the. What is it? The. The mystery of the dragon or something? Prophecy. Yeah, the prophecy of the dragon. And it comes from. It comes from, you know, the Book of Revelation, and it's the white horse, the red horse, the black horse, the green horse, all the colors of the Palestinian flag. And there are so many different things in the Bible. The Bible actually uses the word Hamas.

Stu (7:03)

Look it up.

Glenn Beck (7:03)

It's crazy. It uses the word Hamas as destruction and death. And. And Gaza is all over in the Bible, too, but I don't know. But anyway. So how do you feel about the people on the streets? If we were truly living in a dictatorship, if we were living in a country where we had a dictator who would just not allow anybody to say anything, we wouldn't be talking about Jimmy Kimmel. We would be talking about the rounding up of people who are carrying Islamic terror terrorist flags and shouting slogans for Islamic Jihad in our own country. That's what. That's what a dictator would do. He would stop that speech. Am I wrong? I mean, what's. What's more dangerous? Jimmy Kimmel? What's. What's more un American? Jimmy Kimmel or Islamic Jihad? You're calling for the death of Jews. I mean, that is so unbelievably un American. But just like we did in the 1930s, we. You know, we let the Nazis walk in the streets, you know, in the 1930s, and they held a big rally in. In Madison Square Garden. If you've never seen it, it's. It's the American Bund movement. B U N D. It is frightening. Nazis were everywhere in. Especially in the German communities of the Northeast, and they held rallies. They, you know, image George Washington next to Adolf Hitler. It Was crazy stuff. Crazy. Well, we learned. We learned what Nazis were, and those Nazis went away. This. I hope this goes away, you know, at least from the stupid people that don't. Just don't know what they're doing. Oh, I'm just marching, you know, because the Palestinians are, you know, oppressed. Can you do a little more thought? Put a little more thought into this at all. Who are you standing with? The reason why I bring this up today is not only. Not only it, was it. What did they call this yesterday? The New York flood? I can't remember. Can't remember exactly what they called it. I just saw it. Glory to our martyrs. Blah, blah, blah. They had called to flood New York City. That's what it was, this protest. They said, flood New York City. Well, that is an exact reference to the Operation Al Aqsa flood, which is what that operation was on October 7th. A flood. They called it a flood again. Book of Revelation, the dragon unleashes a flood. I personally like to know who these people are. I personally like to be able to say, okay, do you know who you're standing with? Do you know who's supporting you? Do you know who's funding all of this? And I like to make the case. And I don't want to ever kick these people off of the streets. You have a right. But I thought we lived in a dictatorship and we didn't have freedom of speech. Let me show you something. Where we don't have freedom of speech is counseling freedom of speech. This is what was in front of the Supreme Court yesterday. It comes from Colorado. Colorado has a ban on conversion therapy. 2019, they passed a law. Counselors cannot try to change a minor client's gender identity or sexual orientation, including behaviors or gender expressions. I mean, you want to talk about freedom of speech? I can't try to change your behavior.

Stu (11:19)

What.

Glenn Beck (11:21)

What is the point of going to church? Okay. Can't. Can't try to change behaviors or gender expressions or sexual identity or orientation. It does permit. It has an exception. The counselor can offer assistance to a person undergoing gender transition. So you can help them one direction. You just can't help them the other direction. Now, Kaylee Chiles, she is a licensed counselor in Colorado. She's in Colorado Springs, God bless her heart, and she specializes in addiction trauma, sexuality, gender dysphoria, and other mental health concerns. She's a Christian, and she serves clients who are seeking religiously informed care that aligns with biblical teachings, especially on sexuality and gender. Now, prior to 2019, she was fine. She Counseled clients, including minors. And she would say, you know, this is what the Bible says. This is how you do it. And she would help people, you know, with their gender dysphoria. Now she, once the law passed, she stopped all discussion with minors. Everything else, she's abiding by the law. However, she has a lawsuit. That's the court case that the Supreme Court heard yesterday. Does counseling count or is counseling freedom of speech? Can I not counsel based on my religious dictates? Colorado says no. This is going to be a huge case. Let me tell you some things that I absolutely believe and I can say them today. But if this court case goes the wrong way, will I be allowed to say these things? These are things I absolutely believe. I believe that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained by God and the family is central to the Creator's plan for eternal destiny of his children. Believe it. I believe all human beings, male and female, are created in the image of God. Each of us is a beloved spirit, a son or daughter of God. We have divine nature. Destiny and gender is an essential characteristic of individual eternal identity and purpose. Any of this controversial today? The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve was pertaining to parenthood. Husband and wife. Go have children. God's commandment of go and multiply and replenish the earth has never been revoked. So that is our first commandment from God. Replenish the earth, have children. God commands that procreation, the powers that he gives us. This is the only thing where we can truly create the way the Creator does, where we partner with him and our bodies and our spirits and we make children. And that should only been be used between a man and a woman lawfully, lawfully wedded as husband and wife. Life, the sanctity of life is everything to God's eternal plan. Husband and wife have a responsibility to love and care for one another and their children. You have a sacred duty to rear your children in love, in righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, to teach them love. Serve one another, observe the commandments of God, Be law abiding citizens wherever they live. Mothers and fathers, if you don't do this, you're going to be held accountable because it is your highest calling. This is your obligation. Is this controversial marriage between a man and a woman? The basic building block of all life in the universe is male and female creating life. That tells me that's an eternal truth. You don't create life with male and male. The universe collapses. Male and male, female and female. So the universal truth, the way man was created, the truth is male and female to create children. And that is an eternal plan. And every time we break that plan, every time we decide that we're just going to have sex outside of matrimony, outside of the family, every time you break mom and dad and child, every time you don't honor your marital vows, it hurts all of society. Happiness. And we all know this happiness is best achieved when you're. You're just living the principles of Christ. You've got man and woman both lawfully wedded, and they're creating children. And they're both trying to do the right thing, following God. Repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work. All of this stuff. There will come a time, because all of this stuff comes from the Bible, There will come a time where I can't have the freedom of speech to say those things that will be deemed hate speech. That's what's in front of the Supreme Court yesterday. We have people in black robes deciding whether that can be said by me, by you, by a counselor, by a priest in Colorado today. That counselor cannot sit down with that minor and say what I just said. It's against the law in Colorado. Is that the freedom that the left is preaching for? Is that. I mean, is that. Yes, that is their definition of freedom. Their definition of freedom is. Counselors can't say those things. You can't say those things. Churches can't say those things. That's all hate speech. We should kill people who disagree with us. That's the society that the left is offering you. No, thank you. No, thank you. And no matter what the punishment is, I won't stop saying those things because I believe them. And I can't change what I believe because I believe them. It's not something I just say. It's how I live my life. It's. It's. It's years and years and years of experimentation, of that works. That doesn't. Wow, that hurts. Don't do that again. That's how I got my beliefs. I tore myself apart. What do you actually believe about God? And if you haven't done that, you don't really have a testimony. It requires you. But that only happens when life pushes you up against the wall. And that's why God is allowing a lot of this stuff to happen. He needs his children pushed up against the wall to wake up. What is true? What is worth standing for? What is worth dying for? What is worth living for? Find those things, you'll find Christ, you'll find God and you'll find happiness and we will find peace.

But make no mistake, we are deep in the fight for first Amendment rights. I mean I'm going to the University of North Dakota tomorrow. I'm, I'm filling in for Charlie Kirk and there's this great, this great from the West Central Tribune up in North Dakota. Sadly Kirk was murdered in September. Great article. During the similar event in Utah. Now other ultra conservative speech speakers are continuing the tour in Kirk stead. Beck is nationally famous. Blah blah blah. His views approach at the event at UND likely will be similar to what Kirk would have presented. Discussions about personal values, Republican viewpoints. Not really. And we assume inviting debate next appearance will be blah blah blah. It has the potential to be controversial. Which begs the question why bring controversial speakers to campus in the first place? Because as the University of North Dakota President Andrew Armacost said it is important for us to foster the spirit of incorporating whether it's non controversial ideas or controversial ideas. We need to have an open forum where our students, faculty, our staff and in fact the whole community can see how civil discourse should be undertaken. So we welcome ideas. We need to make sure that the university remains a forum of ideas. Amen. I'll see you in North Dakota tomorrow. This is Glenn Beck. So the morning after October 7, the world stood still. Remember what we were talking about two years ago on October 8th. The images, the story, the loss, it was all too much to take in. And for those in Israel, it wasn't just news, it was real life. Families huddled in shelters, communities shaken, entire neighborhoods forever changed. There was somebody on the ground in our name doing good. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They were there already and they just upped everything they did. They provided food, medicine, emergency shelters to families who had lost everything. They were providing, you know, armored cars, everything they were taking out of the darkness and putting into light. And something began to grow. It was the Flags of Fellowship movement. The flags flown by Christians and Jews together all over the world stand as a symbol of unity, compassion and defiance against terror. They say we remember we stand with Israel because faith isn't really measured by what we do. When the world is at its best, it's measured when the world is at its worst. Get more information on how you can help and be a part of Flags of Fellowship. Just go to ifcj.org that's ifcj.org every.

Stu (24:52)

Story we talk about every day is in the email newsletter letter. It's free@glennbeck.com.

Glenn Beck (25:15)

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. I urge you to look at the economic signs that are everywhere. Yesterday I told you gold was at a record. It just broke $4,000. And it was like $4,005, $4,000, 5, $4,005. Today it is $4,058. So it is on its way over halfway to $4,100. This is unprecedented and there's lots of reasons for it. And we'll get into it just in just a minute. Now, we've been talking about the, the right to free speech and the case that was heard in front of the Supreme Court yesterday. Is counseling free speech or not? Kristen Wagner, she is the CEO and president, chief counsel of Alliance Defending Freedom. And they are at the forefront of this and so many other battles. Kristen, how are you? Welcome.

Kirsten Wagner (26:13)

I'm good. Thanks for having me.

Glenn Beck (26:15)

So, Kirsten, tell me is how did it go yesterday? What signs, if any, did you get from the Supreme Court and their questioning on which way this might fall?

Kirsten Wagner (26:27)

I think it went very well. I think just to understand the law that's at issue, Colorado, the state of Colorado had passed a law that allows licensed counselors to encourage children to transition and identify as the opposite sex. But if a child instead wants to be comfortable with the body. The law says that the counselor can't talk to that child about that, and that child can't get the help that they need. And so the real issue is, does this violate the First Amendment? Is it viewpoint discrimination because one side is favored over another? And can the state peer into a counseling room and interfere in a private conversation?

Glenn Beck (27:06)

So, I mean, I think it's a violation of all of those things. I mean, this one seems really easy to me. You can't do it one way and not the other. But the thing that really concerns me is this. This veers deeply into religious belief as well. You know, I just, you know, talked about some things that I believe, and gender is ordained by God. You don't get a pick. It's ordained by God. I believe that. You might not believe that, but I do. Am I not allowed to say that if I'm a counselor?

Kirsten Wagner (27:43)

You're not. In Colorado, if a child comes to you and says, I am feeling uncomfortable in my body, I would like to have a conversation. I would like to sit and listen and talk through these issues. And you in any way address behavior, sexual behavior, attractions, feelings, expressions. That is a violation of the law if you're encouraging them to live consistent with their sex. And.

Glenn Beck (28:09)

But wait, wait, wait. Just so I understand clearly, if they come in and say the same thing and I say, you know what? You should try, you know, let's just change your sex, that's fine.

Kirsten Wagner (28:22)

Yes, that's actually in the law. It's in the law that you can affirm what their perceived gender identity, that gender transitions can be affirmed. And I think just to talk about the scope of the law, this law, a similar law is in place in about 20 other states. So again, Glenn, you're right to think about how does this affect my family. If it was my child or my children's friends and I needed to get help, I would want an experienced professional that shares my beliefs also. And Kaylee Childs, our client at the Supreme Court, she is a Christian, and she does believe that God creates our bodies to be wonderfully made and wants to encourage children in this way simply by listening and talking to them.

Glenn Beck (29:09)

What are the ramifications if it goes the other way, if it stays with California or, I mean, Colorado?

Kirsten Wagner (29:18)

I think first and foremost, we need to realize that unjust laws like this, there is a human toll. And so we, of course, have to go to the children that cannot get the help that they need. The science tells us that 90% of all kids who are gender dysphoric. And if they are able to just go through adolescence with listening and talking, that they will identify with their sex and live healthy and happy lives. But 97% of kids that even start with just social transition, those kids experience irreversible harm and become lifelong medical patients. So first and foremost, this issue has to be about our children and the future of our nation. And then second, think about the fact that an authoritarian government now has the power to come into play private, voluntary conversations and put certain topics off limits because they're pushing a radical ideology.

Glenn Beck (30:15)

It's, it's, it's, it's, it's stunning to me how the left keeps calling our side authoritarian and they just don't see the authoritarian nature of almost everything regarding speech with their side of the argument.

Kirsten Wagner (30:36)

That's absolutely true. And I think there's manipulation in the language that's being used. I mean, what many people will probably read in their newspapers this morning is that this case was about so called conversion therapy. They're labeling, listening and talking to children as conversion therapy. And so again, it's just a manipulation of language to, I think, deceive the public and to push an ideology onto families that is just bringing great devastation.

Glenn Beck (31:05)

What is the definition of conversion therapy? Because when I hear that, I think of like, you know, the dark ages. You will submit, you know, that's not the same. What is the definition of conversion therapy?

Kirsten Wagner (31:22)

The law actually spells it out. It's in the plain language of the statute, and it says it's any practice, any treatment that would seek to change an identity, and not just an identity, but also including minimizing or changing gender expression, gender attractions or sexual feelings, as well as behaviors. You simply can't have a conversation that would do any of those things without violating the law. And then later, the statute expressly again says, but if you're transitioning a child that's acceptable and affirming that child is acceptable. And again, these are voluntary conversations. Right. So Colorado, at age 12, in Colorado, you can go have a mastectomy without a. A child can consent to a mastectomy at age 12, but they cannot consent to a conversation to say, I want to live at peace with my body.

Glenn Beck (32:16)

That's insane. So does this, this will bleed into our churches and everything if this is strengthened by the Supreme Court. If this stands with the Supreme Court. But it doesn't just stay there, does it? I mean, would it affect. Could it grow into me as a parent? I can't say those things to my kids?

Kirsten Wagner (32:40)

Well, yes, I mean, it already is, right? Like just look at Colorado now. We have multiple suits against the state of Colorado at Alliance Divinity Freedom force pronouns that they are forcing business owners to use. We've gotten, we sued this last year over a camp this summer, a Christian camp was told they had to put boys in the girls cabin rooms. We have, of course, the cases involving, you know, the business owners of Jack Phillips, but we have overnight accommodations in their public school policies where literally they're putting boys in girls rooms without telling the parents or the children asking them to share the same beds. So, yes, this whole ideology has become entrenched in the law and it is one of our priorities to uproot it. But that takes all of us to do that.

Glenn Beck (33:27)

Yeah. Kirsten, thank you so much. What you guys do at Alliance Defense Freedom is remarkable. You are always on it and I so appreciate it. If you are looking to support any group that is in the fight, actually in the fight, they were there at the Supreme Court yesterday. Please give to ADF legal.org ADF legal.org Kirsten, thank you so much.

Kirsten Wagner (33:52)

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Glenn Beck (33:53)

You bet. Back in just a minute. Let me talk to you a little bit about rough greens. Every dog owner knows, you know, that look, the one guy that says, is this really all I get? You know, shouldn't be your dog. You scoop the same dried brown, you know, kibble into his bowl and they eat it because they have to, not because they want to, because they are looking at you like, really, this is it there. Here's the thing. That dry food is dead food. It's been cooked, it's been processed, it's been stripped of almost everything living inside of it because it has to be, by law, shelf stable for two years. You would never feed your kids anything as a steady diet that could last on the shelf for two years for their whole life. But we do it with our dogs. Rough greens is not a dog food. It's a supplement. It's a live nutrient. Everything that's been cooked out is right there in rough greens and you sprinkle it on top of whatever you feed them and it's loaded with vitamins, minerals, live enzymes, digestive enzymes, probiotics, antioxidants, all the good stuff that your dog's body is craving and can't get from kibble alone. So see how amazing it really is and how fast you will see the difference. I want you to go to roughgreens.com use the promo code beck ruffgreens.com break the cycle today.

Glenn Beck (37:28)

You know, I, I, this is crazy, but there is this. I think it's the Three Eye Atlas, Space Rock. The, the interstellar object that's coming our way. And I am convinced we are going to be told that aliens are coming our way.

Stu (37:51)

Wait, what?

Glenn Beck (37:52)

Yeah, I just, I don't know.

Stu (37:54)

You're convinced?

Glenn Beck (37:55)

I'm convinced. I'm not saying they are. I'm saying we're going to be told aliens are on the.

Stu (37:59)

Oh, okay.

Glenn Beck (38:01)

And this, this, this object is huge and it's been traveling forever and we saw it at great distance and at first it looked like it Was a. A comet comet. Then they realized it was a rock of some sort. Maybe not a comment, a comet. Now it just is coming around Mars. And so we can get, you know, close enough looks at it. And. And it doesn't have the tail that a comet has. You know, when a comet is going through, you know, gas and everything else is flying off. And so they have this tail. This doesn't have a tail. And the pictures that they released this weekend was it's a perfectly shaped cylindrical object. Okay, did you see that, Sarah? Did you see the pictures? I mean, right? I mean, sharp corners on.

Stu (38:51)

Looks like a Tic Tac.

Glenn Beck (38:53)

It does.

Stu (38:54)

Well, there's not sharp corners well, but it does really rounded.

Glenn Beck (38:57)

You're saying it's perfectly rounded, but on the edges, I think it had the corners on the, on the two ends. But it's perfectly shaped. It does not look natural. Okay. Now they're saying, and this is like Harvard, you know, astrophysicist and everything else. They're saying in 1977, there was something called the wow. Signal. And it was, it was noted by some astrophysicists who were listening, I think it was called the big Ear or something like that, where we were listening for signals from space. 1977, something happens. And it's called the wow. Signal because on the, you know, on the readout, the paper, the scientists that was working just highlighted it and went, wow. Because it was an unnatural signal. It was a very strong signal, a burst of a message or something that was not natural. But they didn't know what it was. It never repeated itself. And so they just said, well, it's the wow. Signal. Don't know what that was. But now they're looking back and they, they've pinpointed where that wow. Signal because they knew where that wow signal came from. And they've taken the trajectory of this object and they've put it back into time, 1977. And they're saying it's a point six percent chance that the signal did not come from that exact space where that.

Stu (40:23)

Over a 99% chance it did.

Glenn Beck (40:25)

Over a 99% chance that it came from where that object was in 1977. Heaven. Okay.

Stu (40:32)

So they're not saying for sure. It was some.

Glenn Beck (40:34)

You know, if you're paying attention to this, it's just keeps building into something. I don't know how they're gonna back. It's at Mars. So I don't know how they're like. Because they're like, look at. This is not. This is not. This is not natural. This is. This is perfectly formed. It's not natural. We don't know what it is, yada, yada, yada. And nobody seems to be paying attention to it. Now, I'm not saying that it is alien life. Look at that. Yeah, it does look more like a Tic Tac. Yeah, look at. There it is. But look at that. It's straight lines. Yeah.

Stu (41:08)

I mean, it's a very blurry, faraway picture, though.

Jack Carr (41:11)

I mean.

Glenn Beck (41:12)

Yeah. Let's see. They also say what's coming off of it is. I'm trying to remember what they said it was, but some. It's not giving off. It's giving off things that are like alloys or. I can't remember what it was. Did you read that, Sarah? It's giving off something that is an alloy that would be like a hardened ship. I mean, I. I don't know any of this if it's true, but I just feel like we're being prepared for. Aliens are coming. We should all band together and. And get your digital id, because they're coming and this digital ID and the new currency is all going to be. That's what's going to save us from these aliens. I mean, I. I know that sounds crazy. We're living in a crazy world.

Stu (42:05)

I would agree with that. I also say that if it does look like a Tic Tac, it looks like one of those white ones that starts out with a delicious vanilla and then turns into that terrible mint. Like, why, why not just make one that's just that delicious vanilla? Why can't I have that? That doesn't make any sense at all.

Glenn Beck (42:22)

I'm not up on my mint controversy, so I don't know.

Stu (42:26)

I mean, it's not a controversy. It's settled science in my mind, but whatever. No, it's interesting. I mean, some of the pictures, you can't tell what's a recreation, what isn't. There's some on some of these NASA sites I'm glancing at that don't look as perfectly rounded as the sort of picture does there? So maybe they do think it's a rock still. I don't know. I also will say the trajectory of it does seem like it's gonna pass not pretty close to us, like it's gonna hit us, but, like, close enough we're gonna get a real nice view of it. Yeah, Whatever it is.

Glenn Beck (42:55)

Yeah.

Stu (42:55)

Especially when it's firing down its lasers at us. We'll see.

Glenn Beck (43:00)

Beautiful.

Stu (43:01)

That will light up the sky. Very nice.

Glenn Beck (43:03)

Very nice. Very nice.

Stu (43:04)

Yeah, we'll have that.

Glenn Beck (43:05)

I think the last time it went around, went around something, I don't remember it did was not affected by gravity. Oh, they're like, how is that happening?

Stu (43:19)

I, you know, but, you know, I said, why not have another stuff is.

Glenn Beck (43:23)

Coming from Harvard, but I don't know if I believe Harvard anymore. You know, it's. I mean, it's really. We just live in interesting times. Really interesting.

Stu (43:33)

I can't wait to see how this all turns out.

Glenn Beck (43:35)

So if you've ever had a massage device, it seems like they're always designed by people who have never had a bad back. They're too weak, they're too awkward, they're too generic, whatever it is, but they end up being in a closet after a week. The chip contour is different. I mean, the first time I had a friend who was up at my house traveled with it. It was up at my house. And I said, you got to try this massage chair. And he said, oh, I've got this new thing called the chip contour. And I'm like, what is that? He put it down on the ground. He said, lay down on it. It's unbelievable. Your spine feels like it's about to unwind. It's like a long, slow exhale that you've been holding on for years. It customizes the entire experience for you.

She's a Democrat representative from California who ran for Senate and lost. And now she's running for governor. Yesterday about this time, she was the front runner. Today she's not. I just want to play a clip of the interview she did yesterday.

Reporter (48:17)

What do you say to the 40% of California voters who you'll need in order to win? Who voted for Trump?

Katie Porter (48:22)

How would I need them in order to win, ma'?

Glenn Beck (48:24)

Am?

Reporter (48:24)

Well, unless you think you're going to get 60% of the vote. You think you'll get 60%?

Glenn Beck (48:29)

All.

Reporter (48:29)

Everybody who did not vote for Trump will vote for you. That's what you're thinking in a general.

Katie Porter (48:33)

General election? Yes. If it is me versus a Republican, I think that I will win the people who did not vote for Trump.

Reporter (48:39)

What if it's you versus another Democrat?

Katie Porter (48:41)

I don't intend that to be the case.

Reporter (48:43)

So how do you not intend that to be the case? Do you. Are you going to ask them not to run?

Glenn Beck (48:48)

No, no.

Katie Porter (48:48)

I'm saying I'm going to build the support. I have the support already in terms of name recognition. And so I'm going to do the very best I can to make sure that we get through this primary in a really strong position. But let me be clear with you. I represented Orange County, I represented a purple area. I have stood on my own two feet and won Republican votes before. That's not something every candidate in this race can say. If you're from a deep blue area, if you're from LA or you're from Oakland, you haven't, you don't have an experience.

Reporter (49:12)

But you just said you don't need those Trump voters.

Katie Porter (49:14)

Well, you asked me if I needed them to win. So you don't need them. I feel like this is unnecessarily argumentative. What is your question?

Reporter (49:21)

The question is the same thing I asked everybody that this is being called, called the Empowering voters to Stop Trump's power grab. Every other candidate has answered this question. This is not argument.

Katie Porter (49:31)

I said I support it.

Glenn Beck (49:33)

So.

Reporter (49:33)

And the question is, what do you say to the 40% of voters who voted for Trump?

Katie Porter (49:38)

Oh, I'm happy to say that it's the do you need them to win Part that I don't understand. I'm happy to answer the question as you have it written and I'll answer it.

Reporter (49:45)

And we've also asked the other candidates, do you think you need any of those 40% of California voters to win? And you're saying no, you don't.

Katie Porter (49:52)

No, I'm saying I'm going to try to win every vote I can. And what I'm saying to you is.

Reporter (49:56)

That, well, to those voters. Okay, so you.

Katie Porter (49:59)

I don't want to keep doing this. I'm going to call it. Thank you.

Glenn Beck (50:03)

She gets up and walks.

Reporter (50:04)

You're not going to do the interview with us?

Katie Porter (50:06)

Nope, not like this I'm not. Not with seven follow ups to every single question you ask.

Jack Carr (50:09)

Oh God.

Reporter (50:10)

For that every other candidate has answered.

Katie Porter (50:12)

I don't care. I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation which you ask me about every issue issue on this list. And if every question you're going to make up a follow up question, then we're never going to get there and we're just going to circle around. I have never had to do this before, ever.

Reporter (50:28)

You've never had to have to end an interview. Okay, but every other candidate has done this.

Katie Porter (50:35)

What part of I'm me, I'm running for governor because I'm a leader, so I am going to make.

Reporter (50:41)

So you're not going to answer questions from replacement. Okay, why don't we go through. I will continue to ask follow up questions because that's my job as a journalist, but I will go through and ask these. And if you don't want to answer, you don't want to answer. So nearly every legislative.

Katie Porter (50:55)

I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you and I don't want this all on camera.

Reporter (50:59)

I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you either. I would love to continue to ask these questions so that we can show our viewers what every candidate feels about every one of these issues and they, they care about. And redistricting, it's a massive issue. We're going to do an entire story just on the responses to that question. And I've asked everybody the same follow up question.

Glenn Beck (51:19)

Didn't go well. Wow. Didn't go well.

Stu (51:23)

Somebody who is she kind of even says it. She's never had to deal with follow up questions before.

Glenn Beck (51:30)

No.

Stu (51:30)

What, what an amazing. We sometimes don't appreciate what, what a great life it must be on the left.

Glenn Beck (51:37)

Oh, you just go, I thought about that a lot.

Stu (51:39)

Oh my God. You never have to deal with anything. No one ever asks you a follow up. No one ever pushes you on anything. You just say whatever you want and everyone just walks away as if it was the greatest thing of all time. That must be so much fun. I mean, I mean, you know, you'd.

Glenn Beck (51:53)

Be so intellectually weak. Oh, so intellectually.

Stu (51:56)

See it there. She asked one minor follow up question that isn't adversary at all and she pulls the plug on the interview. I'm not going to do this. I don't want all this on camera.

Glenn Beck (52:07)

Well, there's a lot that I haven't wanted on camera. It didn't stop anybody else.

Stu (52:12)

All right. That's when they get most excited to.

Glenn Beck (52:13)

Put you on camera. Oh, I know, I know, I know.

Stu (52:16)

That's so bizarre. Wasn't. She didn't. The reporter wasn't even going at her hard. It was like, hey, what do you mean you don't need. I mean it's such a, what a layup of a question. You know, no offense, but it's like do you need the 40% of people to trump voters to win? You say, well you know, I wanna get as many of them as I can and of course I wanna get as many voters as I can, but I'm gonna stand on my principle.

Glenn Beck (52:40)

Blah blah, blah, blah, blah.

Stu (52:41)

Like any copy politician. That's not even a follow up question. It's like, do you want more voters? That's the hard question. She walked out of an interview for.

Glenn Beck (52:51)

But here's, I mean, remember who she is. Remember who she is. Okay.

Stu (52:56)

Must we?

Glenn Beck (52:58)

Well, I mean I think we just proven everything that they said wasn't true. According to people who had worked in her office, she has made several multiple staffers cry. People are generally so anxious to even. To even staff her because if anything goes wrong, she flips out on whatever staffer is present. She just talks to staffers however she wants. One criticism of Porter has been that she allegedly is a terrible person. According to some accounts, abusive and racist. In December, text messages surfaced in which Porter scolded a staffer for giving the congresswoman Covid. One message said she was rage prone and had a tendency to disparage staffers. Others suggested her expectations were wildly unrealistic. One message accused her of making racist comments. Those are from her staffer. And remember, those are from 2022. I mean, we've seen this. And they just buried all of that. Uh, and now you're starting to see it. You know, when you force people into uncomfortable situations, you generally see who they really are. Um, and that wasn't really an uncut. That was a normal situation for anybody who's right. You can't handle that, sweetheart. You can't handle anything. But imagine you're in California. She was the front runner yesterday. That's who everybody's like, yeah, I'll probably vote for her.

Stu (54:22)

Yeah. Yesterday, looking at Kal, she went on the prediction markets and she was at a sick a 40% chance to win, which was double anybody else in the race. And today she's now a slight underdog in the race from that interview. It was that bad. Now we don't know how the electorate actually responds to it. It'll take some time for pulling.

Glenn Beck (54:42)

We don't know how much it actually. People actually will see it. Right. You know, it could run and then go away.

Stu (54:48)

A lot of conservatives are going to see that today because conservatives are going to play it like crazy. Will people who might actually vote for her see it is a totally different question.

Glenn Beck (54:56)

How do we, you know, we watch NBC, cnn, we have MSNBC on us in front of us all the time. We listen to npr. We listen to, you know, the New York Times. We read the New York Times.

Stu (55:10)

Maybe it's time to appreciate us a little bit more. Just saying, we do that for you every day.

Glenn Beck (55:14)

Yeah.

Stu (55:15)

Just so you know.

Glenn Beck (55:16)

Yeah. We do it so you don't have to. However we. We bring those things up all the time on the air. We know where the other side stands. They have. There are stories that just don't hit that side. Yeah.

Stu (55:31)

They have no idea even.

Glenn Beck (55:32)

And they don't listen to anything else. And so there are stories like that that stupid story of the judge's house burning down. There are going to be people forever that believe that was a hate crime. There is no evidence of anything of.

Stu (55:50)

Even an arsenal of arson. There's nothing that it was, it was some conservative who did it.

Glenn Beck (55:54)

It was a house that burned down. That's all we know now. There's no, they had to immediately jump to. It's a house of a judge. That judge stopped Donald Trump. Harmony Dylan wrote a really, absolutely innocuous, you know, hey, this judge just made this ruling. We will fight that every way we possibly can. That can't stand. They, they took that and said Harmeet Dillon was targeting this judge. So somebody went on the right and burned that judge's house down. None of that. There is no evidence of any of that. They don't even know what caused the fire yet. And I'll bet you you're going to find out that it wasn't arson. It was just a normal fight. It was 11 o' clock in the morning. It was just a normal fire. The house burned down. It was a tragedy. Glad that nobody was hurt. Well, her husband was hurt in it. He had some broken bones and stuff as he tried to get out of the house. And we wish them the best. But you're going to find, I think, and I'll correct it if we find differently, it wasn't any of those things. But they have reported that now as fact. How many people are going to believe that forever? I can guarantee you I have members of my own family who will bring that up to me. Well, you say violence is what about burning the judge's house down? And I'll have to say that's not true. Yes, it is. And they won't believe me because they heard it on NBC, they heard it on cnn, they heard it in the Washington Post and so they just believe it. There are no facts to back that.

Stu (57:37)

None.

Glenn Beck (57:38)

Now there may be in the future, maybe in a couple of days, let the process work, but there's none. These journalists on the left are so unbelievably irresponsible and then because they have zombified their entire base, their base will not listen to the other side. They, there are stories, I guarantee you think about how many people are going to believe from here on out that Charlie Kirk was either killed by a Jew or somebody in his own camp or it, it was a left winger, it was a Donald Trump MAGA killer. Because that's what they said. And they're not listening to you. They're not, they're not watching Fox. They're not getting their new. They don't. All news from major, traditionally trusted sources. They watch all of that and they think they're getting a variety. Well, I read the Times and the Post. Oh, New York Post or Washington Post? Well, not the New York Post, the Washington Post. There's no variety there.

Stu (58:45)

No, it's the same thing. And this is how something like you can change your gender with a series of magical words comes into effect. Because the.

Glenn Beck (58:54)

It's how global warming is real.

Stu (58:57)

A liberal hears something like the gender stuff, for example, and they hear it the first time and they just, like you react the same way. They.

Glenn Beck (59:06)

What? What do you mean?

Stu (59:07)

You can just become a girl. What are you talking about? They in their minds react the same way the first time they hear that.

Glenn Beck (59:13)

Yes.

Stu (59:14)

And then they hear it 500,000 other times unchallenged and saying science is settled. Yep. And they're like, wow, I must have been wrong about that.

Glenn Beck (59:24)

And even if they don't say if, they have nothing to back it up, like in this burning down the house, they just say it over and over and people go, well, they wouldn't say that if it wasn't true.

Stu (59:36)

Right. And I don't hear anybody else. Oh, except for the crazy conservatives. Who cares what they're saying. So, I mean, this is why I have hope again. There's a lot of work to be done. She's got a difficult job. But I have hope for the Bari Weiss situation at CBS News.

Glenn Beck (59:51)

Me too.

Stu (59:52)

It would be great if there was just an organization out of all of the ones that exist that just comes out and gives you fair, balanced stuff. Now, I know Fox does that, but they're seen more as a conservative network, obviously. But their slogan for years was fair and balanced. And it was seen by the people who watched it and watched other networks as the most balanced. When we were there, I remember that.

Glenn Beck (60:14)

Yeah, I think it was 40, 30 or 40% of the audience was Democrat. Was Democrat, yeah.

Stu (60:20)

So there's plenty of people who will actually go and read and listen to other things, but it's not particularly common. And I don't know what might happen is if the coverage by Bari Weiss over at CBS is, quote, unquote, too fair, they will be gone. They'll just be seen as a right wing network and be dismissed again.

Glenn Beck (60:43)

That's how they'll make them. And by the way, congratulations. I was so glad to see GLAAD and everybody else, you know, LGBTQ come out and celebrate Bari Weiss getting that position.

Stu (60:54)

Smashing another glass ceiling.

Glenn Beck (60:56)

Another. It is amazing.

Stu (61:00)

Too much fanfare.

Glenn Beck (61:01)

It really was overwhelmed. Really was. I mean I'm like, I. Okay, yes. It's a first. But I mean do we have to make that big of deal out of it? Yeah. Or did you hear anything?

Stu (61:12)

I didn't hear one word about it. One word of celebration. No, no one, no one can. Again. This is a person who founded the Free Press with her wife. It was just bought by a major media organization for nine figures and she's now the editor in chief or the.

Glenn Beck (61:35)

Yeah.

Stu (61:35)

Is it editor in chief. Editor in chief of CBS News. Not a. No flowery discussions about her sexual preference.

Glenn Beck (61:43)

No.

Stu (61:44)

Her sexual orientation.

Glenn Beck (61:45)

And she's not even conservative.

Stu (61:48)

No, she's not.

Glenn Beck (61:49)

She's not. She's just fair.

Stu (61:50)

She describes herself as center, left, right. And this is how desperate we are on the right. We're like, wait, someone who sent her left? And actually it kind of means something with her. Like she will actually say sometimes conservatives are right on stuff. That is, we're like fine.

Glenn Beck (62:06)

We're. We're not even asking how desperate we are. But look at the other side, how authoritarian they are on the other side. You can't even say occasionally they get it right. No. Nope. Never.

Stu (62:18)

Never.

Glenn Beck (62:19)

And we're the authoritarians. Let me tell you about Relief Factor. You want to know something funny? You don't ever notice how much you move your body around until you can't.

The cities of Portland and Chicago are turning into war zones. Federal agents are being ambushed, police ordered to stand down, mayors defying the Constitution, insurrection in plain sight. What are we to do about it? Well, my staff, we've been doing our own investigation in trying to uncover the hidden support and funding networks propping these, these groups up. The media and politicians call, you know, Antifa decentralized and leaderless. It's not from Soros to tides to shady non profits. We're going to turn the stones over today and we'll show you who is funding all of this by the end of the show. So you won't be able to call it decentralized or leaderless any longer. Plus, Nick Sorter joins me from Portland. He was wrongfully arrested after getting attacked by Antifa. They don't arrest Antifa, they arrest him. Well, all the charges have been dismissed. I caught up with him right before he was going to meet with Donald Trump. You'll see that tonight and hear his story. And I mean it's, it's weird. He was standing in front of the ice building and all of a sudden these cop cars started pulling up behind him and you can see him visibly shaken by it. He's like, police are coming here. I don't know what they want. He was, he no longer looks at the police as the good guys. And when you hear about what the police are doing in Portland, I don't think they are. Starts tonight, the Wednesday night special on Blaze TV and on my YouTube channel, YouTube.com Glenn Becky back. The dark truth about Antifa's well funded network tonight on Blaze tv.

Glenn Beck (68:32)

I want to talk to you just for a second about gold. Gold is up today. Yesterday it broke a record of $4,005 an ounce. That is, is unreasonable. That is. That is. You know, when I first started talking about $4100 gold or $4200 gold 18 months ago I said I know that sounds crazy but it could happen. We're on the way, I mean, it's now $4,058 an ounce. That's 24 hours later. And so it's. It's more than halfway to 4100. And Goldman Sachs said they are now pricing gold at $5,000 an ounce. Here's what I want you to know. This is not being purchased by the average person. My grandfather told me when I was growing up, over and over again, if you grew up with anybody who lived through the Depression, they wanted to tell you how bad it was in the Depression, okay? And they wanted to because they wanted you to know it could happen at any time. And you're like, it's not going to happen. Happen. It could happen at any time. We went through really good times and we thought, oh, we're safe. And then all of a sudden the bottom fell out and there was nothing. You're like, it's not gonna happen, Grandpa. Well, let me tell you. And what he said to me was, you know, you've gotta follow what rich people are doing. Because if I would have known what rich people were doing because they were moving money, they weren't getting into the stock market like everybody else. And there were signs, and he just didn't pay attention to him. He said, if we would have known and followed what rich people were doing, the people who really know we would have. We would have been much better off. The average person is not buying gold. And I think that's because conservatives, who are generally the ones that buy gold, are comfortable that Donald Trump is in charge and everything is fine. Gold being at $4,100 an ounce, growing as dramatically as it has. 18 months ago, it was like 20, 2500, something like that. This is, this is never before seen. What it's telling you is there's trouble on the horizon. The full faith and credit of the United States, that's what. But that Federal Reserve note that you hold in your hand is, Is based on the full faith and credit of the United States. We believe in it. And so it has value. The minute you stop believing in it, it has no value. With the government shutdown, with people thinking, well, they're just going to keep spending money. This is what the markets do. People are starting to lose the belief that our money is worth something. The good thing is we're the only currency that's worth crap right now. So people are like, well, I don't have any else, any other place to put it. We say in God we trust, but that's not true. In the almighty dollar, we trust. When that trust is gone. We believe in gold, in the almighty God of gold. We trust. Okay? When you're getting to that point, all of a sudden people start to go, wow, there's trouble. I. I think I actually believe in God. God God. Not gold God, not dollar God, but God God. Okay, and you're seeing that transition happening. Have you noticed how many people are turning to God, how many people are talking about God, how open I am about God right now? And Stu will tell you, 25 years ago, I said, when I just start quoting scripture and I'm just. I'm just laying it all out, we're in deep trouble. And I said that time will come. But it's not today. Well, it's today. So this is happening everywhere. And that's because it's normal. It's normal. What's happening to us is normal. We are getting closer and closer to an edge, and people are waking up at their pain points. And until we all wake up, the pain will just get worse and worse. Gold is not being purchased by the average person. It's being purchased by the central banks. That should tell you all you need to know. Our sovereign funds, our central banks, not our central bank. I don't think our central bank is doing squat, but, you know, I think the biggest in the last quarter, the biggest bulk of gold went to Poland and their central bank and Jackistan or one of the. One of those places. It. It is all going into the central banks because they're sensing real trouble is coming. I want to sell some dollars, and I'm going to buy gold with it. And I want that physical gold in my vault. This is my grandfather saying, pay attention to what the rich people are doing. Pay attention to what the central banks are doing. The same central banks that are telling you, no, everything is fine, we got it. We got it. We can fix this. The same central banks are hiding the fact that they're buying gold. Nobody's announcing it because they want you to believe in the dollar. What they're saying is, I'm not sure we entirely believe in the dollar. So please just catalog this and let it adjust your course as you see. You know, I've always said, as the starfield continues to roll in this really dark direction, I'm sorry, I'm gonna keep going in that direction. The minute I see the starfield start rolling the other direction, I'll tell you, and I want to tell you those things. When it comes to economics, Starfield is just moving rapidly. When it comes to hope, real hope, you know, not in the dollar we trust, but in God we trust. That actually starting to roll the other direction. Not with everybody, but with enough where it could really impact us. And that's the most important sign that you should look for because that's where we have to do really. All of our, all of our work is there. That's the only thing that in the end is going to matter. And when I say it, it's starting to move in the right direction. We are not paying attention, Half of our country is not paying attention to the violence that is happening on our streets. Tonight we show you what's happening in Portland and Chicago and it's bad. And they're just dismissing and then they're saying nothing is, nothing is wrong. Remember, these are the same people that we're telling you you have to take the vaccine or you'll kill children and it's perfectly safe. They lied to you. They have lied to you over and over and over again. When are you going to stop listening to liars? So these same people that are telling you that we're completely fine are telling you that we don't really have a problem with violence, with political violence. And if we do, it's all from the right. And we addressed that, I think yesterday or the day before and showed you, you know, if somebody is white and they kill a black man and it's, you know, a bar fight, it's, it's marked down as right wing violence because it's a white man killing a black man. Do you think that's reasonable? I don't, but that's the way it's marked. So that's where you get these overwhelming numbers. Oh, this right wing violence. No, it's the way they're categorizing things. Even with that categorization category. Category, you know, it's. Yes. Even with them categorizing in that particular fashion, it's now swung back and so now it's showing. No, the problem is on the left. Okay. Even without changing the way they categorize stuff. So, you know, there's a huge problem. Did you hear the story of the man on Sunday that was arrested outside of a church that was holding a mass in honor of the Supreme Court? The Supreme Court justices usually have mass before it, it starts, you know, the, the term starts. All the Catholic ones, they go to this, this church and this 41 year old guy from Arizona, he's outside of the cathedral, it's St. Matthew the Apostle and they're getting ready to have their red mass and what the red Mass means a cardinal who wears red. He's going to conduct the service and he will pray for the court and yada, yada, yada. Well, he's in this green tent there on the steps of the church. And police come and they say, you got to clear out. And he says, you might want to stay back and call the federales. Now, why would he say that? I have explosives? The police call the bomb squad. They're needed because a special event, blah, blah, blah. And they said, you, you've got to move. You're going to be under arrest. Blah, blah, blah. He says, I have hundreds of bombs. And he pulls out a bomb that he's holding. And he said, you don't want to mess with me. Well, this has been reported that, you know, it was just a crazy guy on the street and, you know, he didn't really have anything. Well, we now know that he had 200 weapons of mass destruction, he had 200 homemade bombs, and the FBI is now saying they were operable and he was going to bomb the church once the justices arrived. Well, the justices didn't arrive because that's the same place where they were, you know, all these left wingers were shouting at Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett and everything else in the last couple of years. So now with all of the violence, they've decided they can't go to any public kind of things. So they didn't come. But this guy has been now charged. He said, several of your people are gonna die from these bombs. Then he handed a manifesto entitled written negotiations for the avoidance of destruction of property via detonation of explosives. It's, you know, he just rambles on about how much he hates the Catholic Church, how much he hates the Jews, how much he hates scotus, and how much he hates ice. This again is left wing. What just happened? Was it earlier this week or last week to the guy who was trying to kill Kavanaugh? The standards say you give this person up to 30 years. This judge decided to dismiss 22 of those years and gave him eight, which will allow him to be paroled in four. Why? Because he's now a she and the parents and the mom were crying, you got to send him home to us cuz we can care for him. Excuse me. The guy was a dude before he was arrested. Now he's suddenly a she and now we're supposed to have sympathy for that? I don't care what sexual orientation you are. You were trying to kill supreme court justices by not enforcing the law and not saying 30 years. You do this kind of stuff. 30 years. What happened to our killing of police once? We said we used to have a rule. You kill a police officer, automatic quick death penalty. We got all soft. Look how many police officers are killed. They stopped killing the mob, stopped killing police officers. Quickly watch the Godfather. Don't. No, no, no, no. He's a cop. Don't, don't. Because they knew the penalty was horrific. When you get rid of that, you just let people go. I, I'll spend four years to kill those guys. I'll spend four years in jail. What's this guy going to get? Four minutes or time served? We have a real issue with our judicial system, with our, with our prosecutors, with our attorney generals, with our district attorneys. They must prosecute these people. And as you'll see on TV tonight, the police have to not be in with the, the rioters and the antifa and everybody else they're trying to make nice so there's no trouble. Will they run the streets now? It, it has to change more in just a minute. Let me tell you about simply safe. Your home is your castle. And the best thing about castles, you know, they used to be super, super safe. They were cold, you know. They had thick walls but no windows. But they had guarded gates, really cool drawbridges you could pull up when trouble showed up outside. But today your castle is made of siding, windows and wifi. And the people guarding it are. Well, I mean you or me. This, where Simplisafe comes in. It's a modern day castle. Quality defense. Motion sensors that catch intruders the moment they step inside the perimeter. Glass break. Detectors that hear what you can't. Cameras that let you see what's happening anywhere on your property, from anywhere you are. Behind it all, there is a team of professionals on watch 24 hours a day, ready to send help in seconds. There's no contracts, no hassle, no medieval engineering degree required. It's just simple, reliable security you can set up yourself. Because even if you don't have a castle, a wall or a moat, you deserve to feel just as safe inside your home as if you did Simplisafe your home, your castle protected. SimpliSafe.com Beck claim 50% off a new system today. That's SimpliSafe.com Beck. There is no safe like Simplisafe. The rope may break, but the ride goes on. This is Glenn Beck. If you read Jack Carr or you're a fan of the series the Terminal List, he's joining me in studio here in Just a few minutes. He's a friend and really, really an amazing writer and producer. He's got a new book out, it came out yesterday, it's the Terminalist series Cry Havoc. He said it in the Vietnam War and he did that. I have not heard him talk about this, so I don't know, but I'm, I'm guessing he said it in the Vietnam War because of the parallels that may be happening today. But he said this is almost historic fiction. He said, I, you know, he surrounded himself with, you know, even dictionaries from the 1960s. He wanted to use the right language and everything else. And he started doing investigation and listening to, you know, people that had actually fought in Vietnam and he tried to write it from the perspective of what was known then, not what's known now. And, and I'm anxious to hear how this ties into the terminal list, you know, series, where it is, etc, etc. So he's coming up in just a minute, you don't want to miss it. Also, don't forget tonight on television, the cities of Portland and Chicago are turning into war zones. We're going to show you who's funding it and, and we're talking to somebody who's on the ground and arrested now suing the police because they were the ones, it's all on videotape. They were the ones attacked by Antifa. The police arrested him, the reporter, the non aggressive guy and, and didn't do anything to Antifa. He's suing the police in Portland and he said you'll see it because police during the interview. I interview him while he was in, in Portland and he's at the ICE facility during the day so nobody is really there. And all of a sudden these police cars start to pull up behind him at quite a distance and he turns around and his whole body changes. I mean he, you can tell the police he no longer in Portland, no longer thinks the police are necessarily the good guys. It's amazing what's happening in our country. That's tonight at 9:00pm you don't want to miss it. This is Glenn Beck, Jack Karsk in the studio. We're going to talk to him just a couple of minutes. Stand by. First, let me tell you about Audien. Everybody talks about high tech today, how the gadgets are all high tech when it comes to hearing aid. You know, high tech sometimes means high hassle. You know, you go in and you have to set it and you're getting your phone out and the app and everything else. Audien has Said, what if we make this really, really simple? The Atom X is the first over the counter hearing aid. Built in touchscreen, no Bluetooth, no guessing. Just a small little case, you know, with a display that you can actually use. You tap to turn the volume up or down, tap to change the modes, whatever you can hear clearly again, ready out of the box. Designed by audiologists who understand that technology should serve people, not confuse them. Unlike I think a lot of traditional hearing aids. And those things usually are, you know, anywhere from a thousand to $5,000. These start at $98 and it is over the counter. You can get started today. You don't need a prescription or anything else.

So excited we get to spend some time with Jack Carr. He's in studio. We're gonna talk to him in just a second. First, let me tell you about Chapter clock is ticking. Medicare open enrollment window is now open every hour between today and December 7th. Matters. Plans change quietly and quickly. Providers drop off tiers, shift deductibles, co pays move all of this stuff. You really can get lost if you're doing it yourself or if you're using an advisor that's emailing you or whatever. Most, I think 99% of those advisors can only represent a few plans because they're paid by a few plans and so they can compare, you know, maybe two or three plans. I want to talk to you a little bit about Chapter because they're the only ones that can compare everything. They're a tech based company that actually signs saw their parents get screwed by these insurance companies and they were like, wait, that doesn't help you at all. What, why did you sign up for that plan? They left Silicon Valley, started their own company called Chapter. Just to make sure that doesn't happen to your parents or to you. So I want you to reach out to Chapter today. If you're on Medicare, gonna be soon or your parents are gonna be on Medicare, please call them today. Dial £250 and just, just say the word chapter. Honest advice, free advice. £250. Keyword chapter. Jack Carr is in with us now. Jack, it's always good to see you.

Jack Carr (89:22)

It is so great to see you. Thank you so much for having Me. And it is so amazing to watch you work in this studio. I've been in a lot of studios over the last few years and none are as clean and efficient as what you have going on here. It's absolutely amazing to watch you work someone at the top of their game do this. It's just remarkable.

Glenn Beck (89:40)

Are you gonna ask me for money?

Jack Carr (89:42)

Maybe a blurb.

Glenn Beck (89:44)

It's good to have you here. In case you don't know, bestselling author and executive producer of the Terminal List series books. And that's Netflix, It's Amazon Prime.

Jack Carr (89:55)

Amazon Prime Video. And just finished the next season of the show, which is True Believer, based on my second book. Finished filming that in Morocco about two weeks ago. So pretty fresh from finishing that, jumping on a plane, meeting my wife in Paris for a few days and then heading out here to see you. So it's been go, go, go.

Glenn Beck (90:10)

Yeah. So tell me about the new book. It came out yesterday and you said it. In Vietnam. In Vietnam.

Jack Carr (90:16)

1968 is a real break, right? It's a break for my main protagonist, James Reese, who is the protagonist of my contemporary thriller series. So there are seven of those ends with Red Sky Morning last year. There was just a nice arc to those first seven books. And I kind of at the very beginning I was very deliberate in wanting to create other characters within the universe that would be interesting enough to have books in their own right. And I wanted to have multi generational characters also. So James Reese, his dad and grandfather, and then this other lineage, the Hastings family of Hastings and his father and grandfather. So this is the first exploration you.

Glenn Beck (90:52)

Build a little empire.

Jack Carr (90:53)

So filled out a universe out here. And I talked about the dad in most of the books, but most in depth in Only the Dead. So in book number six, and it just made sense to go back to 1968 Vietnam, explore his origin story as a seal attached to MACV SA going across the border in the Laos.

Glenn Beck (91:11)

What is Mac V?

Jack Carr (91:12)

So it's a very innocuous sounding name. So Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group. So the SOG part is the important part. And it was meant kind of to be innocuous so that they wouldn't be readily apparent that these guys were going across the border into denied areas in Laos, Cambodia, North Vietnam is which where they weren't supposed to be operating, where Americans were not supposed to be operating. So they were there to do disruption operations along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, primarily call in airstrikes, blow up weapons gashes and that sort of thing. So that's the baseline for it. But I really wanted to do was set an espionage story in southeast Asia in 1968, which was the bloodiest year of the war for the United States. And no one had really done that in a long time. So that was the Quiet American by Graham Greene, 1955 the Tears of Autumn. That's Charles Makary, 1974 and John Le Carre, the Honorable Schoolboy, 1977. And I'm not aware of anyone else doing this since those guys. So it's been a couple moons and I decided that's what I want to do. Espionage story Saigon, heart of Vietnam, Southeast Asia and the bloodiest year for our country.

Glenn Beck (92:16)

So when you got into this, how much it was any of it? Because there's so much that is parallel that is happening now. I mean, the society is reflecting all the way to assassinations. What was happening at that time? Did that play a role in this at all?

Jack Carr (92:34)

Well, just by default. But mostly it was because the father's war was Vietnam. There happened to be parallels between what we did in Iraq and Afghanistan and Vietnam. We didn't really listen to those, learn those lessons and apply them in a present day as wizards wisdom. And we tend to do that over and over and over again.

Glenn Beck (92:53)

We're really stupid as a species.

Jack Carr (92:55)

Specifically when it relates to Afghanistan. We had the Soviet experience from 79 to 89 that we could have looked at and, and we took. We took any lessons. We took the wrong ones, unfortunately.

Glenn Beck (93:04)

So what did you. Because you're younger than me. But we're not.

Jack Carr (93:09)

Not by too much. That's made too many years.

Glenn Beck (93:11)

So we both grew up, we saw Vietnam. So we saw the wreckage of Vietnam. You know, I know Vietnam soldiers and I. I mean, it's really what molded me on my support for the military. If we decide to go to war, then we go to war to fight it and finish it and bring them home and then take care of the men that served over there. And we're not doing it again. Yeah. Another lesson we don't ever seem to learn. What did you learn about Vietnam that maybe. Did it change anything? Any viewpoint or anything?

Jack Carr (93:47)

It did a little bit in that I thought I knew a lot about Vietnam at the outset. I thought I had studied this conflict. The 60s also. My parents were essentially children of the 60s. So I grew up with that in my household. I was influenced by popular culture. The movies of the 70s and the 80s and the 90s that pertained to Vietnam and the 60s in general. So I thought I was starting from a Fairly solid foundation. I've studied warfare, insurgencies, counterinsurgencies my entire life. So then I started writing, and I realized that I had really just scratched the surface before. So I wanted to also write this book through the lens of 1968. So with 50 plus years of hindsight applied to different characters for that. That's why we're talking here in October rather than June, when the book was supposed to come out, because it took so much longer to write a book like that. Meaning every single character, whether they're 25 years old, 50, 70 years old, they only have their life experience up to 1968 to lend to their perspective on an event, on a conversation, a situation.

Glenn Beck (94:40)

Give me a scenario where you were like, I can't write that.

Jack Carr (94:43)

You know, I immersed myself back into. Into that year. So a watch from 1968 right here. I had Seiko watches out there, too. Those play into it. I had Browning High Powers from that era lying around. I had car 15s lying around. It looked like I was about to invade North Vietnam. I had maps from that era all over the place. I had red dots on those maps, books everywhere, pamphlets, old national geographics from the 50s and 60s about Vietnam. So it really did look like I was planning an invasion. But I learned so much more about Vietnam. But mostly it was that perspective. So I have a Soviet perspective. I have a U.S. perspective. I have a Vietnamese perspective. I have a U.S. perspective from Washington and all of those to show people as they read this thing that there are these different perspectives on the war and all these different people are bringing their life experiences to this story to really immerse people and take them back in time to 1968. I just want to. Didn't want to say that they're listening to Creedon's Clearwater revival, say it's 1968 and drop a contemporary thriller into Vietnam. I wanted to immerse myself in this year, and it really became historical fiction. And as such, it took a lot more time, energy, and effort than I anticipated at the outset.

Glenn Beck (95:56)

Let me ask you about some of the stuff that is going on now. The Department of War. How do you feel about Department of War as opposed to Department of Defense? Yeah.

Jack Carr (96:08)

Well, I'm not saying that they got this idea from me me. I'm just saying that I never heard anyone talk about it until. Until I mentioned it after the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Glenn Beck (96:16)

Right.

Jack Carr (96:17)

So I did an article for. For Town hall, and I talked about it on. On different news programs when. When the withdrawal was. Was going south and precision in Language reflects precision and thought, as you know. And the Department of Defense means something different than the Department of War, just from a Persona, language, perspective. Defense is defense. The Department of War is the Department of War. So I made that case in this article that I wrote back in 2021, and now we're doing it.

Glenn Beck (96:45)

I think it's really smart.

Jack Carr (96:46)

It is smart, but also, if you.

Stu (96:49)

Read.

Jack Carr (96:51)

The statement on it, it's not permanent. So if you really go into the verbiage in that, it's very deliberate in there. So another administration coming in. So now we're just calling it the Department of War. But I believe, and someone can correct me in the comments section here, but I believe that it does take an act of Congress, Trump, to officially change this forever going forward. Now they're calling it the Department of War. So if you look at the language, it's very specific. You're calling it the Department of War, but it's not yet really the Department of War.

Glenn Beck (97:17)

I have to tell you, it is. So we are in such a weird place to where we swing so far one direction, and then the next administration just swing all the way back. You can't run a country like that. I mean, we can't run a country like China either, where they have absolute control of everything, but they. They can think 20, 50, 100 years in the future. That's how they become successful. We have to think two years in the future. But we used to be together on more stuff. Now you switch administration, go to the other side, and it's not the same country.

Jack Carr (97:56)

No. And certainly the phones that we carry around in our pockets are not helping matters at all, especially for this next generation, my son's generation. My son that you met in Salt Lake this last year, he's doing wonderful. He wanted me to say hi to you, and I really appreciate you being so kind to him when you met, but it's his generation, really, and our daughter's a little bit older, and like Charlie Kirk, our son was coming up to me all the time and showed me those videos. My wife and I would be sitting on the couch, and he was at 12, 13, 14. He showed me these videos, and he just had such. This connection with Charlie Kirk and that message, and. And that's the generation that was a tough one because he was away at school, and I didn't get to him in time to tell him, hey, don't look at your phone. Don't watch this video. And so both him and my daughter saw it.

Glenn Beck (98:40)

My daughter was about 10ft away.

Jack Carr (98:42)

Oh, I didn't know that.

Glenn Beck (98:43)

Yeah. Just.

Jack Carr (98:45)

I'm so sorry.

Glenn Beck (98:46)

Horrible. Horrible. And she's the most. Well, second most sensitive child in the four. But I mean it's happening to all of. All of our kids because they, they felt even if you didn't know him, they felt they knew him. They did, you know, because he was so genuine and real.

Jack Carr (99:04)

Yeah, they really did. And, and it wasn't like the JFK assassination where you're seeing something in the paper, you're hearing Walter Cronkite talk about it on the news. We didn't get the Zapruder film for your till years later for us, Challenger watching that, you didn't see people. You saw an object explode in the sky and you were devastated just by that. Now you have someone that you feel that. That you know.

Glenn Beck (99:24)

Yeah.

Jack Carr (99:25)

Get killed right in front of you and essentially in high definition and just one so brutal and so, so heartbreaking. But it also has really, you know, galvanized. It's changed a generation I think also. And bringing a lot of people back to the. The church, us included.

Glenn Beck (99:40)

That's amazing, isn't it?

Jack Carr (99:42)

It really is incredible to see.

Glenn Beck (99:44)

It's amazing to me. I was just talking to some friends, you know, it's so appropriate that Christ was a carpenter because I've always thought of my life, you know, before I really turned over to him as just. It was building my house and I wanted to be a helpful guy, you know, I want to be involved in building the house. I should not be involved. I have no skills. And we had a pile of wood needed to be cut and I was like, you know what, let me help. I'm going to just cut this wood. Okay, Mr. Ben. And so I measure, I measure twice. I cut it and they take it and they take it back in the house and I keep cutting and I run out of wood and I said, well, you have any more wood or anything? And I said, looked at me and said, now it's your money, so whatever you want to do, we're all for. But everything you've cut we've had to recut or toss away. And I was like, you guys should have sent something before I cut all of the wood.

Jack Carr (100:42)

But anyway, you're having such a good time, right?

Glenn Beck (100:44)

And with my life, I feel like I cut all of this wood and none of it was usable, you know, because I just destroyed my own life and none of it was usable. And then I turned myself over to God and I had all this crappy pile of wood and he took it and made something beyond what I could have ever done. And there was not even any sawdust. There's no waste with him. And you're seeing it happen with Charlie's death. Look at what has been born out of that. I mean, I would never want that to happen. And he didn't want it to happen. But how he can take the very worst things and make something glorious is amazing.

Jack Carr (101:30)

It's incredible to see that impact. And I guess that is the one consolation is that the impact that he has in. In death is probably more. More impactful generationally than what he had in life even. And he had a huge one. Oh, huge one in life.

Glenn Beck (101:43)

Yeah. This one lasts. This one will last and last. We're talking to Jack Carr, bestselling author of the Terminal List series. He has the new book Terminalist series Cry Havoc. It came out yesterday.

Welcome back to the program. Jack Carr is with us. You know, my son was a voracious reader. He was eight years old and he was. He read the Hunger series like in two months. Read them all by the time he was 14 and he got a phone that just went out the window and it was horrific to me. Trying to get him to pick up a book now is. And nobody does it.

Jack Carr (103:51)

I'm hoping that audiobooks are kind of the gateway drug back to reading, because you hear about something through this medium or podcast, and someone's taking that in that way, and then it makes it very natural to then get the book that they're hearing about through that same medium. So I'm hoping the audiobooks are a gateway drug to get people to read again and to build their libraries. A lot of people are doing both now. I see that they're getting the book and they're getting the audiobook and they're reading at home, and then they're listening, and then they pick it back up and go back and forth. So that's. That's pretty good.

Glenn Beck (104:19)

I have to tell you, reading a book on a tablet or phone is not the same. I mean, I read a lot for work, and I can. I will see it and I'll know where it is in the book. You know what I mean? Generally speaking, I'll know where it is in the book, but if I look for a fact and I've read it on my tablet, I have no idea how to find. Find it.

Jack Carr (104:38)

Nope, I'm with you. I need the physical book. And reading now is an act of defiance, really. It's a. Now, if you're a rebel, and so if you pull out that phone instead of pulling out, or pulling out a book instead of pulling out a phone, like, you're a rebel today. And it's an act of defiance against the digital tyranny of the Silicon Valley overlords, essentially. So I'm doing everything I can to encourage people to read. There was an article, I think, in the Washington Post about a month ago that talked about the stats and how, I think it is about 2003, we start seeing the. This severe drop off, and then to 2025. Now it's just off a cliff as far as reading goes. And that, of course, corresponds with the rise of iPhones and apps and social media and all the rest of it. So all of these things that are essentially designed to keep us from reading, to keep us enraged, to divide us, and only help out maybe one political party or the other, and certainly the companies in Silicon Valley, but certainly not us. It doesn't make you a better citizen. It doesn't make you a better person, a better husband, a better father. Reading can do all that, especially fiction. A lot of people out there say they just read nonfiction, especially in New York and California. They like to be a little snooty about it. But what you get from reading fiction is you get this empathy and this compassion because you're experiencing this story through someone else's eyes. So you're putting yourself into their shoes, into their boots, into their moccasins, and you're experiencing this, which then becomes part of your experience. So if you don't read fiction and all you're doing is doom scrolling on your phone, or maybe you're just reading some nonfiction for school or something like that, but you're not reading the fiction side, then you're really missing out on this development of compassion. And we see it in people's interaction with one another in person and online. We're losing that compassion and that empathy for our fellow human beings. And fiction is one way to develop that. And that's why it's so vitally important to read.

Glenn Beck (106:18)

I'll tell you, I read a quote from Thomas Jefferson recently, and I kind of changed it up. The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but social media.

Jack Carr (106:28)

Oh, that's.

Glenn Beck (106:30)

Yes, he said it about newspapers, but I think it's social media.

Jack Carr (106:33)

Interesting.

Stu (106:34)

I really like the way you're talking about that as a gateway drug. It's very often how I discover books. Like, I'll hear an interview with someone like yourself, and you listen to an interview, and that gets you into the audiobook, which is almost like a really fully produced, perfectly written podcast. Right. And then from there, you want the detail and you pick up the actual book and you. You read it, go into a whole series. So we're kind of like the marijuana of reading. That's us.

Glenn Beck (107:00)

That's great. Thank you for that.

Jack Carr (107:03)

And I'm very fortunate to have Ray Porter as my narrator, who is great.

Glenn Beck (107:07)

The best. I think he hates me because I've asked him to read several of my books, and that is like, no. No response. No response. Like, I didn't get that message. What are you talking about? Put a good word in for you. Oh, he is.

Jack Carr (107:21)

He's a Shakespearean trained actor, so he.

Glenn Beck (107:23)

Really does stuff well. Nobody better.

Jack Carr (107:25)

Yeah, so he's great.

Stu (107:26)

He's a great human being too.

Jack Carr (107:26)

Really, really kind person.

Glenn Beck (107:28)

I'm glad to hear that.

Jack Carr (107:29)

He's fantastic to hear that.

Glenn Beck (107:30)

Wow. Then I am listening to the audiobook because I. I will. I have listened to books that he did without knowing anything at all about the book, just to listen to him.

Jack Carr (107:40)

Yeah, people follow him around. They follow him around from project to project. It's. It's fat. And I didn't know that when I picked him. I picked him specifically for his voice. Having no idea that he was at the top of the narration pyramid and he said yes to doing that first book. And now we're dear friends and, and the first book was up for Audiobook of the year. And so we got to put on the tuxes and go to New York and have some drinks together and hang out and get to know each other. And he's just a wonderful.

Glenn Beck (108:00)

Please tell him I'm such a huge fan. He, I just admire what he does.

Jack Carr (108:04)

Oh, that's fantastic.

Glenn Beck (108:05)

Miss something in the news? Don't miss it with the Glenn Beck email newsletter. It's every story we talk about every day and it's free@glenn beck.com.

Glenn Beck (110:04)

Ah, welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. We were just talking about the crypto millionaires and Billionaires. How many more millionaires are there?

Stu (110:18)

70,000 new millionaires this year.

Glenn Beck (110:23)

70,000 because of cryptocurrency. 70,000.

Stu (110:27)

It's a massive change to society, isn't it?

Glenn Beck (110:30)

Massive change. Massive change. Which is crazy. And then you look at how many are, you know, 100 millionaires, billionaires. I mean, and these are, you know, you, you said at one point when we were talking about it, about how, you know, libertarians, these guys who actually believe in, you know, free market and small, you know, small government, they're going to get all this stuff where you're buying pizza, you know, for a 30 cent crypto currency. And if it works, they're going to be millionaires and billionaires and they will then have the power, the power to change things. And look at. That is what happened.

Stu (111:08)

That is what happened. Yeah. I mean, you think about a lot of the big names that are, that have chested our society, who spend a lot of money on politics, who have advocated for those things. A lot of them were very early on the cryptocurrency.

Glenn Beck (111:19)

Elon Musk. Yeah. Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen.

Stu (111:23)

Yeah.

Glenn Beck (111:24)

And Glenn Beck.

Stu (111:27)

No.

Glenn Beck (111:27)

Well, you weren't.

Stu (111:28)

You actually talked to those people.

Glenn Beck (111:29)

But then you, they all advise me, you should go, Glenn, I'm telling you, put $10,000 in it. Now it's like 30 cents. You should put 10. Now I know better than you guys. Oh, what a dope.

Stu (111:40)

Yeah, that's that. You could say that again.

Glenn Beck (111:45)

It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and we all did it. Because I caught back on the air, I told you what they said to me.

Stu (111:51)

You did, you did. You talked about it on the there. I did that we should do it.

Glenn Beck (111:54)

And none of us did.

Stu (111:55)

People did not do anything.

Glenn Beck (111:56)

No, we didn't do anything.

Stu (111:57)

We did not do. Even if you did invest. I definitely didn't invest enough. Oh my gosh, you could imagine it was life changing. It was right there, you know, and we think about that as. Okay, it was so early.

Jack Carr (112:09)

Right?

Stu (112:10)

Like, I mean, who would have been able. No, understandably, you didn't invest when it was 30 cents or whatever it was at that time, you know, during COVID it was under $4,000.

Glenn Beck (112:23)

You're kidding me. Yeah.

Stu (112:25)

In March 2020, I think it hit 3,800 and now it's 122,000. That's just Bitcoin. Obviously there's different stories for all the different cryptocurrencies, but bitcoin being kind of the king of them all. That was an available Opportunity, really recently. Only five years ago.

Glenn Beck (112:42)

And did you say 170,000 new million millionaires?

Stu (112:47)

The number I saw was 7,000, but 70,000.

Glenn Beck (112:49)

70,000. When is the last time 70,000 millionaires were created?

Stu (112:54)

Printed just by the way. Every time it goes down by 10%, the articles are like, oh, these people. Look at these hilarious. These crypto people are losing their money again. Yeah. I don't know if you've noticed the chart.

Glenn Beck (113:05)

Yeah.

Stu (113:06)

Kind of looks like it's mostly up. Yes, there are peaks and valleys occasionally.

Glenn Beck (113:11)

But let me, me, let me. Let's change to, you know, where everybody lives, and that is healthcare cost. Oh, you wouldn't be worrying about this if we all would have bought it at 30 cents. But so the. I know you're doing a monologue today on what this, what this cut actually is. What the Democrats are saying. They're cutting it. No, they're getting rid of the COVID bailout.

Stu (113:38)

Don't say it that way.

Glenn Beck (113:39)

Way.

Stu (113:40)

I don't want you to say it that way. I rather have you say it like enhanced subsidies. Can you say that phrase? That sounds much better.

Glenn Beck (113:49)

Yeah, I know it does.

Stu (113:50)

But enhance subsidies, enhancing them, making them better. When you enhance something, it's better, Glenn.

Glenn Beck (113:58)

Well, we don't have jobs. Nobody was working. Everything else people are, like, worried about how am I going to pay for the healthcare. So the government said here, we're going to subsidize you until we get past this. This we said at the time, don't do that because it'll never go away. And here we are. It's not going away. So they're not. This is not. This is not Obamacare. This was the emergency bailout from COVID And now they're just expecting that that's gonna happen forever.

Stu (114:23)

One way to think about it is what the Democrats are asking for. So what happened was there was an enhancement to the subsidies during the COVID and this was during, actually early Biden. Biden administration. The American Recovery act was the first one, if I remember right. And then it was the Inflation Reduction Act. So the American Recovery act comes in and it says, hey, here's a bunch of extra money to pay for your Obamacare. And that gets put in there, but with an expiration date, because as we all know, we're in the middle of a pandemic and this is gonna be over soon and it'll go away. That's how we all agree on it. Then comes the Inflation Reduction act and the Inflation Reduction act, even. Even though we're way after at this point, the COVID situation by nobody was.

Glenn Beck (115:08)

Allowed to read that one.

Stu (115:11)

That extended the enhanced subsidies to 2025, which is what is now expiring and what they're now complaining about. So now they've said, well, we have these things. And every liberal article will tell you, every left wing publication, every mainstream publication will say, this is what's going to happen to your rates if this goes, goes away. The thing they're complaining about, this catastrophic hell hole, this awful, awful scenario that could come to fruition if Republicans hold their ground. What they're talking about is Obamacare as passed. That's what they're talking about, Obamacare. It's like, you know, the enhanced subsidies are New Coke and they're going back to classic Coke. This is the thing they passed and they said would solve all your problems with healthcare. This is the stuff that we said, actually, it's not gonna be affordable at all. It's gonna be terrible for people. What they want to go back to.

Glenn Beck (116:10)

Is their solution is their solution.

Stu (116:12)

That's the thing. They're warning you that they can. We cannot go back to that. That would be the worst thing in the world. If we go back to that, that Obamacare. That's what it is. That's what they're talking about. They're talking about just getting rid of the COVID enhanced subsidies. Like, it's like, remember back in the day, they're like, put your mask on. You can't. You gotta sit six feet away from everybody. Remember all those measures they put on, they were supposed to expire and every once in a while you see someone walking around with like an N95 mask outdoors, and you're like, God, remember that? That's what these subsidies are. They were supposed to be this terrible, temporary thing in this horrible moment that get you through this tough time. And now, of course, they're acting like it's the way it's always been. And this is their crazy left wing program built on top of their crazy left wing program.

Glenn Beck (117:04)

So here's the thing. I'm not hearing anybody explain it that way. Why isn't anyone explaining it that way? The gop, it just sucks.

Stu (117:14)

All they're saying is, well, you know, illegal immigrants are gonna get healthcare. And like, look, that is part of this. Yes, but, but like, I don't know. To me, it's. It's a smaller part of it. Yeah, like the fact that they want to do this and they're acting like their own savior program is some sort of free market, you know, catastrophe so.

Glenn Beck (117:36)

Let me tell, let me tell you who's going to win in the Republican, unfortunately, who's going to win in the public space on this? And it's Marjorie Taylor Greene. And yeah, she's going to win with the populace. She's going to win. This is the winning message for her. Not for the gop, not for principals, not for.

Stu (117:57)

She seems to be aligned with the left on this.

Glenn Beck (117:58)

No. Oh, yeah. Okay. So let me just read this. Known for her strong alignment with President Donald Trump, described the ACA Obamacare as a scam that rendered health insurance unaffordable for a family during the passage. But significant signaled willingness to support extending subsidies to prevent premiums from doubling on Americans. She said, quote, I was not in Congress when all this Obamacare Affordable Care Act BS started. I got here in 2021 as a matter of fact, the ACA made health insurance unaffordable for my family after it was passed with skyrocketing premiums higher than our House payment. Let's just say this as nicely as possible. I'm not a fan, but I'm not going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire year this year, my own adult children insurance premiums for 2026 will double along with all of the other wonderful families and hardworking people in my district. Not a single Republican. This is the key, and this is actually the key to put her back into a place of, of consistency and principles. Not a single Republican in leadership has talked to us about or has given us a plan to help Americans deal with their health insurance premiums double. And then she goes into how we're sending money overseas and all these wars and everything else. I mean, she sounds like a, she sounds like a leftist here. Our country does. All we do is fund foreign countries and foreign wars never does anything to help the American people.

Stu (119:23)

That's also pretty consistent with an America First.

Glenn Beck (119:26)

Yeah.

Stu (119:26)

Right. Thing.

Glenn Beck (119:27)

Yeah. But the whole thing with the Obamacare, I am going to give more money. Okay. That to me is what's going to speak to the, the average person in America who's not following this and is like, my insurance is going to double. The premium is going to double. How am I going to afford that? That's. They don't care about how that came in. They probably don't even know how it came in. None of that. I was talking to Dr. Oz last week and, and we were talking about, I can't remember what. And I said, when are we going to stop all this insurance scam with these States and saying you can't sell insurance across state lines lines. I said that would solve so much of the problem. And he just lit up like a candle, big smile. He's like, I love talking to you. This is why I love you so much. And I said, what? And he said, we are just doing that now. He said, we're doing it on a state by state basis. We're, we're going to offer them a program for Medicare. We'll help them on Medicare and Medicaid, blah blah, blah, blah law. But they won't get any of that money that has been allocated for the states. They won't get it unless they take the laws down that stop interstate commerce for the insurance companies that will make a huge difference in premiums.

Stu (120:46)

Just that alone when you massively increase competition.

Glenn Beck (120:49)

Right.

Stu (120:49)

It usually does.

Glenn Beck (120:50)

The president knows that this was coming. Everybody rush vote knew this was coming. Coming. Why we didn't have. Great. It is going to double because it's garbage. It always has been. Even the Washington Post this week did an op ed. The Washington Post said it was never any good, it would never work. We all knew this, that it wouldn't work. It's a horrible plan.

Stu (121:14)

And it wasn't some conservative op ed. This was the editorial board of the Washington Post.

Glenn Beck (121:19)

I mean, it was stunning what they admitted. Finally they sounded like, like you know, me and you in 2009 and admitted the truth. Okay, so we all know the truth now, except for the average person who's not paying attention, just paying the premiums, can't afford their health care. This administration if you want. When Oz told me that, I was filled with hope. Oh my gosh, we're going back to a free market system. Maybe, maybe we'll have a free market system. That's a great step forward. Forward. Why didn't the Republicans when this happened, why are they not standing in front of everybody right now saying the truth about Obamacare? It was garbage from the beginning. We gotta get government out of this. We are going to take down the barriers state by state. We're going to streamline the system. We're going to take all of this regulation out that makes your insurance premium shoot through the roof. We're going to let the free market work. Work. Why aren't they offering something? Because it allows Marjorie Taylor Greene to go and say we gotta bail out Obamacare. Otherwise people are gonna, you know, they're not gonna be able to afford anything. And everybody will look at that. Who is struggling there. Millions are struggling now and they'll go I'm sorry, I know my principles, but I can't afford healthcare. Why, why is, why is the Republican. Why, why are they not offering bring anything? Anything except compromise.

Stu (122:46)

It's such a fascinating thing because, I mean, I think this is the story of being a conservative for everybody their entire lives as conservatives.

Glenn Beck (122:52)

Right.

Stu (122:52)

Like it always the easier political answer to appeal to the most people is just to give a bunch of money away.

Glenn Beck (122:58)

If this would appeal to people, you would have a chance to say, look.

Stu (123:01)

It'S harder though never point out like that, like you know this particular. And if you look at Marjorie Taylor Greene's like list of complaints there, they're probably different, different than some of the lefts.

Glenn Beck (123:10)

Right.

Stu (123:10)

But like the answer kind of winds up being in the same general vicinity, which is give a bunch of money away. Which is always going to be the easy political answer. Right. But that's not what conservatism is about.

Glenn Beck (123:20)

But you don't have, all you have is the argument we'll pay you. The other side is we're not going to help you.

Stu (123:26)

Yeah, you can't have both.

Glenn Beck (123:27)

You're going to lose.

Stu (123:28)

Yeah, you got to lose.

Glenn Beck (123:29)

You got to have a plan. We, we need that money because we're going to bail you out. And the other side needs to be, no, that doesn't work. We're to going gonna fix it the right way, which will save you all of this money. But you know, just standing there saying, nope, we're not going to give the money. That's not a winning argument. It's just not. All right, back in just a second. American Financing. You know the feeling when you finally clean out the closet and you realize how much clutter you've been living with. That is exactly what debt does. It builds up quietly, one credit card, one car payment, one mortgage adjustment at a time, and then one day it's all you can think about because suddenly it's a, a huge problem. That's where American Financing comes in. They're a family owned, salary based operation, which means they're not trying to sell you a loan you don't need.

Glenn Beck (125:03)

Teach your kids right. Shoot. You know, schools won't do it for you. This is Glenn Beck. Stu. I, I, I hate to bring this up but I'm just, I look up to CNBC and I want you to look up. This is the woman is speaking. She is the IMF managing director on AI Bubble fears.

Stu (125:51)

Okay.

Glenn Beck (125:52)

Now we talked about a bubble. You know, there's seven companies. The, the whole stock market is built now on seven AI companies that are doing really well.

Stu (126:00)

Yeah. 60 gains are from only seven companies.

Glenn Beck (126:04)

Yeah, that's not good. And if this is a bubble, they pop and the whole thing goes down. Yeah. But I a, she looks like somebody that should be telling me about the Julia Childs cookbook or something.

Stu (126:18)

She does.

Glenn Beck (126:19)

And she is also with the imf. When did we let the IMF start to you know, over do oversight on bubbles? And what the hell are you doing with bubbles that is going to make it better? I mean I just have so many quite. I just turn off CNBC because I don't want to look at it. It's too frightening. You look up and you're like oh, these are the people solving everything. Oh, that's going to be good.

Stu (126:43)

It does feel though like at least if you're going to get really terrible economic news, someone who could, you know, hand you a seven layer bar like a baked with some baked goods. Well, that to kind of make it feel better.

Glenn Beck (126:53)

I never thought about, you know, maybe, maybe CNBC should start to smell like a baked pie. You know what I mean? So you're like, oh wow, it's like home. I feel good here watching the IMF managing our stock market. This is Glenn, Becky.
