A
There is another Islamic terrorist attack. This time it happened in Switzerland, but you're probably not going to hear it. Of course not. It was an Islamic terror attack. So they cover that up. There's a really important detail that was in the first story that I read. The guy, Islamic terrorist screaming Allah Akbar but also claimed to be Jesus.

Okay.

That says the guy is insane. Or does it? What does that actually tell you? Something you'll never hear from anybody else will give you the perspective on that. It's really important. Also, Dave Root Rubin is with us. What happens after Ron DeSantis leaves? What happens after Donald Trump leaves office? Also, the Republican who is running for governor in Maine, who's getting hammered by some of the Susan Collins type in Maine, saying he's not really a Republican. Really. Do you know what a Republican is? Had a great conversation with him. I think you're really going to enjoy and in the long form, a message. You have to hear about what is coming our way economically. This is the edited version. This is the best of version. And it happens right now. Let me tell you, our sponsor is the Burner Launcher.

Because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement. And you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this, this podcast to the top rate, review, share together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now, let's get to work. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program. I am just not going to be able to do justice to a. A piece of history that I think is really important that kind of ties into what we've been talking about, about how everything is, is changing and the weaponization of government and how government is using algorithms, etc, etc. I want to save that till tomorrow because it's, it's really, really important that I can spend the time to do it right. And I'm already seeing the stories that are just stacking up on top of us. Jason was just talking to the insiders about, you know, the, the movie from Steel and Steven Spielberg, and he said he's starting to believe that this whole thing is just a psyop. And I think it is. I think it. I mean, let's be the most reasonable people. Steven Spielberg read the room, saw what was happening, saw a great script come through and went, oh, this will be a blockbuster because Everybody's thinking about UFOs right now. And so let me do this. And I think that's the most reasonable thing. The thing, you know, him being involved with the CIA. It's possible. As I showed you just a little while ago, Steven Spielberg has done government propaganda stuff, you know, over and over and over again. He has helped, you know, do things that he thought were the right things for America. And so he has been involved with things like this. But there are so many stories stacking up. Jason, you were just talking about the story of the CIA using DNA from Ancestry and 23andMe to, quote, search for alien life. What the hell is that story?
- [04:57]
C
I had this picked a while back as something to do, like on a Friday, but now I feel like all of these. I 100% now believe this is a psyop. And I feel like the people that were looking at These topics before were always pointing fingers at the CIA, saying they were the bad guys, they're the ones that are hiding all this information from us. We need full disclosure, but now we get disclosures like what you were just talking about, that the CIA was using 23andMe and Ancestry.com allegedly to find if all the humans that had extra terrestrial DNA. I. At some point you got to take us. Take a step back, I believe.
- [05:35]
A
Yeah, I think you do have to back away from the cliff just a little bit. Go, wait a minute, wait a minute. What? And then the CIA, the psychic spies tell that story.
- [05:47]
C
Yeah. So that was supposedly the source that. So this source approached this, this novelist who brought this out in a podcast and brought it out into the mainstream media. But it was supposedly a CIA psychic spy that got this information about the CIA. Now, if you're curious how this psychic spy allegedly got this information, it's a very common spy type scenario that happens, Glenn. So he was not ordering a martini, shaken not stirred, in Eastern Europe somewhere. He was in a diner, supposedly where he was approached by three aliens and they were the ones that let him know about this. So obviously it's not a psyop. Actually, I didn't know that he was approached by three aliens in a diner. So I guess this all really is true.
- [06:39]
A
How many times has that happened to all of us? Right, Right. So it is so much easier if you are in charge of things. For instance, I have this understanding and this is just my own feeling. I don't have anything to back this up, but just see if this makes sense to you. If you're a politician, and I got this from being over in England, in London, and just standing there and sensing what was happening and seeing how the elites can live in London. And nothing is happening really in London. You have to be where the people live. And you have to be in these places where, you know, they've destroyed the factories and the working person and the farmers. So you can stand there and you go, well, nothing is really happening. But if you're in those neighborhoods, if you're in those areas where the factories have been destroyed and you see it everywhere, you think, now how can these politicians do this and think this is going to work out? Well, hear me out on this. Your policies have destroyed the country. Your policies have destroyed the working class. Your policies have destroyed the factories. Without factories, without power, you cannot survive as a country. Okay? And you know that the people who are in these towns are going to rise up soon, okay? Because you've destroyed their way of life. And now you're destroying their country and they're all like going, wait a minute, I don't think you actually serve our country anymore. How do you keep them down? Well, you do. You could do it. Now. This is me as a fiction writer writing this fiction. One thing you could do is you could say, why don't we just import a lot of other people that are going to be a bigger problem from them, and we're going to place them in the towns that we have just destroyed. We're going to put them in these struggling towns. We're not going to put them around us. We're not going to put them in London. We're going to put them in towns where the factories where these people are not going to work anywhere. They're going to live off the system, but we're going to put them next to the people who are living in those towns, and we're going to give them free stuff that we're not giving to the factory worker who no longer has a job. You're struggling, you're paying your taxes. We're going to give these people all kinds of stuff. And oh, by the way, you know, they're not going to be compatible with that system at all. They're not going to be compatible with the people that live there, et cetera, et cetera. You've now just. You've now just given the people in those small towns something to worry about that's bigger than you because it's in their face. It's in their face now. I think this is backfiring on them because people are seeing, wait a minute, they're not paying their taxes, they're not doing anything. They're raping our children. And the police are in on this. I don't think that they serve us at all, but they've slowed things down and they've made it easy to say, oh, see, you're a bigot. Because they control all the power. They control the media, they control the television. They control everything that you see. They control, in many cases, what you see online. And so it's easy then for the elites and those people who are living in the big cities to go, yeah, it's just those hicks that live out there and notice that's what they're doing. They're mocking you all the every step of the way. That tell Rico video or picture that just came out. I'm going to talk about this at the top of the hour, but let me show you this picture of him eating a turkey leg. With a big Texas flag shirt on. He posted this and he's like, ready to take back Texas. He's eating a turkey leg wearing a big Texas flag shirt. Now, do you think this California liberal has ever worn a Texas flagship? You think that's the way he goes out of the house during the day? Technically, he's born and raised in Texas,
- [10:36]
C
but you wouldn't know it.
- [10:37]
A
You wouldn't know it. He's a Californian. He's a Californian in spirit. Everything about him screams California. Okay, you think he actually goes out in that shirt and he's like, hey, buddies, what's going on? Eating a turkey leg. I thought this guy was against meat. This. He is, in a way mocking you. This is how they. This is what the elites think of you when they think of a Texan, that they've got to get in there their side. They think, yeah, the ones that wear the big Texas flag shirts and eat turkey legs all the time. They're mocking you. It's incredible to watch. It's just incredible to watch. Tomorrow I'm going to do something on history, but I'm going to start with Neville Singham. There's new audio out, new video out that Fox has just exposed where he is at a big thing over in Asia where he's talking about how we need to change history. You know, capitalism is fascism and we've got to destroy it. And it's the capitalist and Americans that were really responsible and the British that were responsible for all the death In World War II, they were the bad guys. Now wait a minute. I'm hearing this from Neville Singham, who is, we know, in league with the ccp. Where else have I heard that the west and America and the American soldiers and, and Winston Churchill and England were actually the bad guys? Where else have I heard that? What's happening here? What the hell is happening here? Meanwhile, while we're arguing all of this stuff, we're arguing about who the real racist is. Let me give you a story about the jihad killing. This morning on a Swiss train, there's a guy who goes to a train station, he pulls out a knife, he starts stabbing people and he's screaming Allah Akbar. And I am Jesus Christ. Now here's where the media is going to spin this. They're going to leave out the Allah Akbar and they'll just say he was a crazy guy who thought he was Jesus. That's what you're going to hear. Crazy guy who thought he was Jesus starts stabbing people in, in Switzerland. Okay? How could a Guy say Allah Akbar and claim that he's Jesus at the same time. That doesn't make any sense. No, it doesn't. If you are a Western, if you have the Western pov, if, if you haven't, if you do not know what Islamists actually believe, then it makes no sense. Now I'm not saying this guy isn't crazy. I'm sure he's crazy, okay? He thinks he's Jesus and there's lots of crazy people who think they're Jesus. But this guy thinks he's Jesus and is screaming Allah Akbar. What? How is that possible? Well, if you're a Sunni or a Shia radical, if you're somebody, and I can't even say radical because it is, it is so much a part of this faith right now. They have the opposite understanding of the Christian second coming or yeah, second coming, they have a different view of how the world is going to come to the end. And in the traditional Islamic belief, Jesus doesn't come back. He's not the Son of God. He returns as a Muslim prophet and he helps defeat the false Messiah, the Dajjal, and he confirms that the real faith is the Islamic faith. Okay? And he corrects all of the false worship and then he is also the enforcer of that. So a guy who is crazy but believes all of the Islamic traditions and all of the Islamic end of time stuff, he believes he's the enforcer, he's coming back as Jesus Christ who is the enforcer. Don't dismiss these things. Don't listen to the media. They don't care about any of this stuff. If this were happening, I guarantee you, if this guy were a Christian and thought he was Jesus Christ, this would be a story that would lead the press in the world forever. But because he is an Islamist who also says he is Jesus Christ, they will just bury this story because either they do not know what that means or they don't want you to know what that means. This is a very sick individual who also understands the coming of the Mahadi, who knows that Jesus is going to be, be a prophet for Islam, at least in their belief, and is going to come back into being the enforcer. So whether he actually thought he was Jesus or he was just making the point to a bunch of people he thought were Christian, but if they're in Europe, I can guarantee you, odds are they're not Christian and is stabbing them and saying I am Jesus Christ. Allah Akbar. This is not just some madman. Okay, and what is the media telling you about this? Most likely Nothing. What is the media telling you about the guy who walked into Horton's coffee Shop? Tim Horton. It's a. It's like Denny's up in Canada. Yeah, Dunkin Donuts. He. He walks into Tim Hortons and it sounds like a joke. Guy walks into Tim. Tim Hortons for a cup of coffee and a donut and ends up dead. Okay, this. This is state approved death. Now here's the story. 45 year old man in Canada suffered from Crohn's disease. I have that in my family. It is a horrible disease. And depression, they usually go hand in hand. He meets with a doctor outside a Tim Hortons. And that's where this doctor evaluates him outside of the coffee shop and says, you know what? You're a candidate for maid. I can have you killed by the end of the day. So the doctor texts him a euthanasia plan and then personally drives him. And this is the worst part of this story, and this is the part that I have not heard the media talk about. The doctor drives him personally to an industrial building where cadavers are prepared for funerals, walks him into a holding room at this industrial cadaver factory, injects him with legal drugs. End of life, paperwork complete, end of story. An industrial building to prepare cadavers for funerals. And a doctor walks in, puts him in a holding room and kills him and is like, I'm just cutting out the middleman. We don't need to bring you to the hospital, just bring you right to the cadaver factory. Oh my gosh. These are the stories. These are the stories. Because it's not just the death, it's the collective shrug. Twenty years ago, this story would have petrified the entire world. Now it's just administrative. It's clinical, it's routine. That's it. That's how cultures change. While we're talking about UFOs, they're not. They're not changing the culture with fireworks or marching bands. It's just changing the culture. One compromise at a time. That's how you do it. Let me tell you about relief factor. It probably comes as a surprise, you know, that I've never been a cage match fighter. You know, I've never. I've never fought in a cage. Never. I know I seem the type, but I think I know what it feels like to stumble out of one of those matches. Body all beaten up, rack with pain. I bet you can relate. Your back hurts, your knees hurt, your shoulders hurt. You know, you sound. You make that little sound every time that you Stand up. You're like, ah. And you think to yourself after a while, okay, this is the way I die. For most of us, everyday aches and pains are connected to inflammation. And that's why so many people have turned to Relief Factor. It was created to help support your body's response to inflammation, helping reduce those daily aches and pains that keep you down. Over a million people have tried Relief factor and two thirds of them have gone on to take more month after month. And I'm one of them. Even though I may look at, I've never stepped into a cage match, I still feel like I, I, I have. That's why I take Relief factor. Try it now. Reliefactor.com get the three week quick start. See if it doesn't work for you. 1995, take it for three weeks. See the difference? 800 for relief. Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Dave, how are you, my friend?
- [19:33]
B
Glenn, I'm from Fine. I mean, if you want me to get a guy that can get you some propofol, I have to make a couple calls, but I think we can get it shipped to you somehow. I think you have to administer yourself,
- [19:43]
A
but sure you can. Yeah, I mean, I, you know, geez, there have been nights that I've just been like, propofol would be so good. I understand Michael Jackson. I strangely, I understand him. Anyway, how you doing, Dave?
- [19:58]
B
It's good to see you, my friend. You know, I'm fine. As every time I see you, I think I say the same thing for the last, you know, probably two plus years, which is my life is good. What happens in the, in the four walls of my home and with my family and my colleagues and things like that is all good. The state of the world is just wacky and that's what people come to us for. So I guess let's dissect it.
- [20:20]
A
I know, I know the most important things we will ever do will be in the four walls of our homes. So it's all that really matters. So let me. Can I start with, can I just be my nickname, years ago used to be Oblivio, because I'm oblivious to so much. Okay. Just oblivious to so much. There is a tweet that came out of Talerico, sorry, Talarico, in a, in a Texas flag shirt eating a turkey leg. First of all, the guy is on record saying he's a vegan, he doesn't like meat, he's eating a turkey. I think this whole what I saw in this is Here's a guy almost mocking Texans. You know, this is what Texans really look like. So I'm going to pretend I'm one of them. However, Ricky, who is absolutely debased. She is. She's not a good human being. She. She comes in and she's like, this, this is a. This is appealing to, let's say, non cisgendered voters. And I'm like, what are you even talking about? And she said, rumor is, you know, he says he has a girlfriend, yada, yada. I have no gaydar. I think she's. I think she's an abomination, Ricky. I think she's probably going to spend more time in hell than most of us. And in a deeper.
- [21:50]
B
I've always liked her. But. Okay,
- [21:56]
A
What's your gaydar say on him? And what is there? Is she. Is she just going to hell or does she have a point on this?
- [22:03]
B
You know, I must say, this is very strange. I got a text from Billy Bush, broadcaster Billy Bush, yesterday, asking me about my gaydar on Talarico, if this is what the remainder of my career is going to be, just figuring out who and who isn't gay. Well, I have a very long career in politics, but I don't know that this is what I signed up for. Look, I don't know if this guy is gay. Look, there's obviously some weird stuff when he tells you that Jesus is non binary and that there are six genders. And there's this. Yeah, there is a slight effeminate thing to him. But you know, Glenn, look, there are effeminate guys who are straight and there are straight acting guys or masculine guys who are gay and all of those things. So to me, that's not so important myself. Yes, Glenn, as far. I've known you quite well for many years at this point, and I can confirm, confirm to the, to the listeners that you are straight, as far as I know.
- [22:55]
A
No, no, no. I mean, I just, I thought. I feel better because I didn't think there was anything to this. I didn't see it that way. And then Ricky comes in, you know, with.
- [23:05]
B
I thought, I thought this was. I thought this was just a crazy ruse to get me to affirm your straightness. But. Okay. In any event.
- [23:12]
A
No, no, no.
- [23:13]
D
All right.
- [23:15]
B
Yes.
- [23:16]
A
Let me ask. Let me ask you a couple of things. There is another thing that was put out. Stephen Miller, he shows this picture of Talarico and he says Democrats made history in Texas by nominating their first transgender state Senate candidate. Okay, funny. Okay. But the response from the Democrats, the Democratic Party was, shut up, you ugly fucking. And I can see that coming from personalities. I can see that. I could see Donald Trump even saying that this was the Democratic Party. That tells me they believe their constituent is a lot different than, I think what most Democrats think the other voters that vote like them are.
- [24:05]
B
Yeah, I think that's much into that. No, because in this case, you know, look, we live in the world of the Internet and social media and there's trolling back and forth and Trump obviously, obviously says colorful things about people and we've all been through all those things. But there is definitely a level that now is being achieved by the Democrats where they're constantly, if you note lately, Democrats constantly on the stump speeches are saying the F word. They're doing this soft kind of, you know, soft shoeing around violence, where it's sort of okay that Brian Thompson, the United Healthcare CEO, was killed by Luigi Mangione or Charlemagne the God, I hate calling him that. His real name is Lenny the radio guy. After the last assassination attempt on Trump basically said, well, I can understand why people would do it. So they really are changing all the norms. And the crazy thing about the Talarico situation is you have to remember his primary was against Jasmine Crockett, who was as bananas lefty as you could get. And he said, hold my beer, I'll show you what bananas lefties. In Texas. In Texas, it would be one thing. If this was happening in Cali, we would all be like, okay, they had a. They had a kind of crazy lefty, and they went a little crazier. But it's really. But Glenn, think about it this way. This is what they do in their prime, in their primaries. And then when you have a bad lefty, you get a worse one. Think about Chicago. They had Lori Lightfoot, as bad lefty as you can get. Now they have Brandon Johnson, the Jasmine Crockett, Talarico think. You had what's his name in. You had Garcetti, who was a terrible lefty in la. Then you got Karen Bass. There are so many examples. You had de Blasio and then Eric Adams in New York, and now you end up with Mamdani. So for some reason, and this is something that our friend Jordan Peterson was talking about for years. The left never knows when the left goes too far. So everyone's always trying to out crazy themselves. And congratulations, you've now ended up with Talarico. In Texas. In Texas.
- [26:02]
A
I know, I know, I know, I know. Let me switch to Desantis and to Donald Trump leaving in this way. In the Bible, in math, I think it's Matthew, book of Matthew, Jesus tells a story about somebody who chases an evil spirit out and. And then the spirit goes out and it's wandering and it comes back and finds that that guy hadn't replaced. It hadn't cleaned. He cleaned out his house, but he hadn't replaced it with anything. And so it goes back in, but this time it goes back in with seven more spirits worse than the first spirit. And I, I feel like we've chased bad guys out, but we're not necessarily replacing them with anyone. Who are we going to replace DeSantis and, and Donald Trump with? What happens when these guys leave? Because we could get seven more that are much worse than what we chased out prior to.
- [27:10]
B
Yeah, I mean, the key to that is realizing that you have to have some kind of plan of secession. And no matter how good things may be in Florida, and you're a new Floridian resident, you see how great things are. I saw you a couple months ago and you were just beaming about how much you love it here. And there's reasons for that. Look, from a Florida perspective, you know, in terms of the next governor, it likely, I would say there's probably about an 80% chance that it's going to be Byron Donalds, who, you know, I've interviewed many times. I've hung out with him. I think he's a good guy. He's done a nice job in southwest Florida, you know, Naples area as a congressman. I think he's really good on of top television. And I think he will likely continue much of the DeSantis agenda. It's probably him. It might be another great guy. We have Jay Collins, who's former military vet, who is the lieutenant governor right now, who I think would be completely in line with DeSantis. He has a much more uphill battle because Byron Donald just has great name recognition and he's all over the media all the time. But Florida, also, keep in mind, Florida got 2.3 million residents since COVID ended. And we've now seen the numbers. I mean, they are voting red, red, red. When DeSantis took over, I think there were a couple hundred thousand more Democrats than Republicans in Florida. And now it's over a million more Republicans. So Florida, I think, for the next, let's say five, six plus years, I think will be just fine on the national stage. Look, the Republicans, I think Trump's gonna want a contested convention. I don't think they're Just gonna hand this to JD in conventional way. I think, obviously almost everyone right now is high on Rubio. So you have competent people. You've got Rubio, you've got J.D. maybe DeSantis gets involved again. Who knows? Could Hegsett throw his name? I mean, there's enough people there that whether you agree with all of them or maybe you like this one on this and that one on that, there's enough people that I think most of us who are right leaning would say, hey, this is a good crop of people, and let them fight it out. And I think, I think that's what Trump's gonna want. I think he's gonna want a show to hand over his legacy. Maybe Junior gets involved. I mean, who knows?
- [29:07]
A
I think Tulsi Gabbard is a name that you should throw in there.
- [29:10]
B
I think Tulsi Gabbard is absolutely, absolutely. You know, obviously her husband's dealing with some health stuff right now, so they have to see how that shakes out. But, you know, tell Tulsi this is someone who was a Democrat congresswoman who was, who ran for president as a Democrat. You know, she, me and her, we have a sort of familiar kind of roadway to becoming Republicans. Let's say. She's really, she's well liked, you know, and there's going to be different factions in the Republican Party and they're going
- [29:38]
D
to fight it out.
- [29:40]
A
So where does this end? You know, Dave, you and I have talked several times. The right is just dividing itself. We've got to stop dividing ourselves. But it's just dividing itself and it's breaking up. And how does this end? What will bring us all back together? Is that possible?
- [30:00]
B
Well, yeah. I mean, you know, unfortunately, the way the world works, or humanity works generally, the things at this point that could probably bring us together are real tragedies and horrible events. So let's pause on that for a second. You know, in terms of the division, you know, if you look at Trump's last 118 endorsements, as I'm sure you know, he's won all 118 of them. Now, some of them were easy primaries and whatever, but this is gubernatorial, this is Senate, and this is the House. So the idea that Trump, that maga, is seriously divided, I think it plays well online and I'm not sure how much actual traction it gets. You know, Glenn, even some of the guys that you and I used to be close, close colleagues with that have gone in this other direction that are attacking Trump constantly and going after him on the War and Epstein stuff and all this stuff. Their numbers are not doing great right now. I don't think numbers are the ultimate arbiter. I think truth is the ultimate arbiter. But I don't sense that things are as divided as they think. Even if you look at the Massie race, which was the most contested, Trump's backed candidate, Ed Gallerin won and won by a lot. And it would have been an aberration had been Massey won after going against Trump. So Trump still has control of the party. There's going to be fighting online for sure. And maybe we need to make better arguments about certain things. I think that's possible. But I also think that the real white pill right now is that the Democrats are so out of control, partly from what you just showed before with the language, but also the, you know, Mamdani talking about asset seizure, the crazy race in LA where people are really realizing how bad Karen Bass is, that as we roll towards the midterms, you know, after our 250th anniversary, the Iran war will wrap up. One way or another, gas prices will go down. That I think people will be feeling, boy, all right, maybe there's some things that I didn't like about Trump or I wasn't thrilled with the war or this or that or the other thing, but I'm not going full communist and that's what they're offering at this point. And Americans are not communists. Americans are not communists.

So we're living in a weird time. We're living a weird time. Here is a quote from a Republican that is running for governor in Maine. America was built on the foundation that no king, no religion, no foreign law can override the Constitution. Let me be clear. Sharia law has no place in Maine's courtrooms, our schools, nor our government. Not now, not ever. We've seen what happens when Sharia takes hold. Women are banned from leaving their homes without male permission. Girls are pulled from schools denied education. Victims of assault are punished rather than protective. These are not ancient relics. This is happening right now in countries all around the world. Here at home, we've seen the attempts to lay groundwork in Texas planners push a vision for Epic City, a self government governing Islamic enclave designed to operate outside America Law. Every person in this state of Maine, regardless of their faith, deserves to live under the same set of laws. One standard the Constitution Equal protection for every man and woman. As governor of Maine, I will always put our constitutional values first. Religious freedom means the right to worship as you choose. It does not mean replacing American law with a foreign legal system. Maine families deserve a governor who will stand up and say what others are afraid to say. I am that candidate. Our laws, our values, the Constitution. Get out and vote. June 9th. That is the guy who's running for governor of Maine named Bobby Charles. And at the same time, people are being asked to vote where you've got the Democrat running for the Senate. He said, quote, what Nazi tattoo. Whoops.
- [33:36]
C
That.
- [33:37]
A
That was a Nazi symbol. I didn't know that. I mean, it's just the strangest time I've ever. I've ever seen in the United States. Bobby Charles, running for governor of Maine, joins me now. Hey, Bobby, how are you?
- [33:48]
D
It's a pleasure. It's truly a privilege, Glenn. I listen to you all the time on the radio and I. I realized, nope, I'm going to have to get in a suit and tie because I'm really up here on television with him.
- [34:00]
A
Well, it's good to. It's good to have you. So how are. How are things in Maine? Because I don't know what the hell happened to Maine. At one point, Maine was. Well, let me ask you this. Was it Stephen King living there? Is that what happened? It just got scary.
- [34:14]
D
I think we're seeing remnants of the Shining everywhere now. Yeah. I will tell you, Glenn, I grew up in this state, and we were Norman Rockwell's America. We were World War II values. That's what we were. I grew up working from the age of 12. Everything about this state was more or less wholesome. And now we've got the highest property taxes in the country, with one of the lowest per capita incomes. We've got high income taxes. We've got drug traffickers everywhere, 8,000 overdoses. We've got the highest energy costs, the highest jump last year, 36% because they pushed all this solar and wind crap everywhere. Our schools. Schools. And this is a shocker. Our schools were actually at the top of the nation in the mid-90s and at the end of the McKernan administration. And they are now number 50, according to U.S. news World Report. And they're shot through with. And then the last point that I just have to leave you with because it'll resonate with you, and particularly since what you just read, we are like a mini Minnesota for fraud. We have. It's not just Somali fraud, and it is Somali Fraud. But it's everywhere in this state. We have a state that, in general, the average Mainer cannot trust. And that, really, three years ago, is part of what got me off the couch and said, you know, Bobby, you can sit around here in Carp and listen to Glenn Beck about what all good people should go out and do, or you can go out and do it. And I really do believe good people have to act. You know, what did Edmund Burke say? All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing? Not going to be that person.
- [35:43]
A
So what's your background? Why are you qualified for this?
- [35:47]
D
Yeah. So it's an interesting background. I do truly believe, even as you and I sit here today and people listen and watch. I believe that God puts us where we are meant to be, all of us. That just at this very moment, this is where we are meant to be. And my life experience was growing up working for World War II vets through 17, 18. My father never went to college. He was enlisted Navy. I ended up. My mom was a schoolteacher who, for a lot of the time, raised the four of us. And she just said, you got to go out and get an education, Bobby. We had no money. Zip. We had no electric heat. We chopped wood to be able to heat the house. But, you know, on a wish and a prayer, I ended up at Dartmouth, Oxford University, studying economics, Columbia Law School. The Reagan White House clerked for a U.S. court of Appeals clerk, Reagan appointee on the 9th Circuit. So that was like a little patch of heaven in the middle of hell. And then I became Assistant Secretary of State. And. And. And I had 10 years Navy intelligence, and I've run a company for 25 years, helping the Pentagon, so. And law enforcement was a huge part of what I've done for the last 30 years. So I look back here, I come to Maine, and I say, you know, it really was other people who said to me, bobby, look at this. You managed billions of dollars. You know, you shut down bureaucrats at the State Department. I was responsible for training all the Iraqi police and Afghan police. I set that up as Dave Petraeus did the military side. And you've managed big projects. You helped bring down the Cali cartel. You're all about counternarcotics. You did all the CD training for the National Guard for decades. You're the guy that can help fix the drug problem, both on the addiction side, frankly, and on the law enforcement side, you're all about fraud. For five years, I was Gingrich, as one of his top Federal investigators. I did the Waco hearings, all those hearings. And, you know, Gingrich supported me, Mises supported me. People say, you just got to get out there and go do it, Bobby. And so I feel like it's like a puzzle piece, Glenn. The problems of the state of Maine match with the life experience that God has given me, even though if you asked me five years ago, I would have never thought about it. And I. In terms of governorship, I was just waiting for Ronald Reagan to show up, and I would have supported him and made everything good.

A
You have. We get calls from listeners in Maine all the time that say China is in our state and they are running these. These drug farms and nobody's doing anything about it.
- [38:18]
D
You're absolutely part of your.
- [38:20]
A
Go ahead.
- [38:21]
D
Yeah, no, to. To answer. Preempt your question, but. Sorry, I. Yes, of course. We have three major groups of drug traffickers up here, the Chinese triads that run between 3 and 400 of these grow houses illegal marijuana that they put fentanyl on and distribute, which, of course, damages northwest, east, and south. It damages people. And, you know, I. I can't tell you the number of overdoses tied to them, but I will tell you that fentanyl on their marijuana is a major issue. And I will also tell you that we have between 8 and 10,000 over overdoses a year in this state. Hundreds and hundreds of fatal overdoses. You know, a comparable state like South Dakota has 65. So we can do better. The second thing I'll tell you is that we have the Sinaloa cartel up here. It's a major problem. They have gutted the state police. People don't even want a lateral into this state to do law enforcement. We will reverse all of that. And we have the trinity.
- [39:18]
A
What do you mean, how they gutted it.
- [39:20]
D
Oh, my God. I've been all over this state. Local law enforcement is literally being defunded. They've defunded big chunks of the state police. They've taken their authorities away. When they try to arrest people on 95, they're accused of racial profiling. So, of course, they default to not arresting people. We know where these drugs are coming from. The fentanyl, the meth, the heroin, the crack cocaine in larger quantities than we have ever, ever seen here and in larger purities. We know where it's coming from, Glenn. It's coming from very specific points in Boston, New York, and Connecticut. And we know how it's getting here. It's getting here up through 95, Lawrence and Lowell. We we can almost, I mean, I talk to DEA every week. We can almost pick out the cars, but we don't do it because this governor, Governor Mills has deauthorized and defunded huge chunks of the state police. I was up at the Houlton Northern Border State Police outpost not long ago and they were down 41% in Manning. Look, they have, they have, they have literally favored the illegal aliens. They've turned this into a sanctuary state. And a lot of the illegals show up in those Chinese grow houses. I mean, we have almost 8,000 illegals in this state. I will wire brush them out of this state starting day one.
- [40:32]
A
Tell me about the person running that you're going to be running against. I mean, it's looking really good for the primary, obviously, but if you become the candidate, who is the Democrat, what are they running as?
- [40:48]
D
You know, it's interesting and I'm gonna, I'm gonna give you a little preemptive here. Again, just a simple statement. Democrats and independents, the traditional Democrats and traditional independents or unaffiliated voters are just as sick and tired of all these high taxes, overreach, overregulation, drugs everywhere, schools that can't be trusted as Republicans. And so one of the things that's happening here is that traditional Democrats and independents are calling me, joining me literally almost in a revival type way at some of our meetings, turning into Republicans on the spot, pledging to register as Republicans because they can't fathom that the candidates on the other side, and you mentioned Graham Platner earlier in the Senate race, but that the candidates, Glenn, on the other side, are so utterly morally bankrupt and dedicated essentially to putting bad money after bad. So the candidates are, you know, we have this guy named Nirav Shah, like the, the Fauci of Maine who shut down 55% of our businesses, shut down our schools, shut down our, our churches. He's a complete cheese. No, he's a horror story. And, and there's no way that Mainers are going to vote for that guy. Then you've got Hannah Pingree, the daughter of Shelley Pingree, who is the one who set up these new American offices and has imported all these illegal aliens. And she's basically a carbon copy of Janet Mills, who has incidentally, endorsed her. You've got Shanna Bellows, who is the, the one that threw Trump off the ballot, lost hundreds of ballots, refuses to disgorge names to the federal government under subpoena. And then who else have you got? You got Troy Jackson in a funny little Twist. And my God, you know, Maine is a small state, but we're a damn interesting state. We had a funny little mix because. No, we're very interesting. I mean, and when I get off this show, you know, I'll be running around in my plaid shirt because it's how we grew up. We're very simple minded, I guess. We are a very simple, common sense based, Norman Rockwell, value based state. And that's why all this is looking so goofy to a lot of Mainers that the Democrats have thrown up these candidates. But another one is this guy, Troy Jackson, who was head of the Senate, who decided that he would elevate himself by debating me even in the primaries. So I said, let's go for it. Bring it, brother. And so we did it and just crushed him. And, you know, I think that's what's going to happen here in the general. We, we have so much to gain. We're only a couple of seats away, Glenn, from controlling the House, the Senate, the governorship. And I will strip the Supreme Court of all seven of its justices. They get seven year terms. They all come due in that four year term. We will put constitutional conservatives on our Supreme Court.
- [43:31]
A
Oh, my gosh, that is worth, that's almost worth moving to Maine to be able to vote up there for. I mean, holy cow, that's huge.
- [43:38]
D
It is.
- [43:40]
A
Let's. Can I just ask you, and you don't have to comment on this, but as somebody who is not there, you don't know what to believe. You're just seeing, you know, America's watching what's happening in Maine from a distance and you're not involved in the everyday back and forth. But Platner, I mean that, I mean, it's, it's, I mean, there's no way no one would get the break of, oh, gee, I didn't know that was a Nazi symbol, coupled with all of some of the crazy things that this guy has said. Is that really who the main Democrat is?
- [44:20]
D
So, you know, it's a great question. Not one that is. People ask it every day of ourselves. I mean, I think, I think Democrats are asking of themselves. I've asked the other Democrats in the gubernatorial to disavow him and they've chosen not to so far. I assume they will not disavow him. You know, they're scraping the bottom of the barrel is what it boils down to here. Mills was completely shooed out because she's a failure and all these other Democrats running for governor are carbon copies of her failure. But Graham Platner is essentially a farce who is very well funded. He is a, you know, the national Democrat Party, I'm sure, are just oohing and ahhing over him. He presents well. He is a Nazi communist, let's see, woman hating, minority hating, veteran hating guy who, who somehow has grabbed national attention. I think he's a complete farce. And at the end of the day, I think he's like a bubble that pops toward the end of the cycle. The same way that others around the country who have thrown up just crazy people, popular. But you know, the problem is right now the Democrat Party in Maine, Glenn, has no one to reach to. They have no bench. There is no high integrity. I don't know what you'd want to call it, an Ed Muskie style Democrat up here. And frankly, we have lost the con. We had Margaret Chase Smith. We had people who were real, I think believers in Maine first. You know, they didn't tolerate a lack of integrity. They didn't tolerate this kind of, I could use other words for it, but they're probably not on air. Good words to use. They just, this guy is a complete farce. But it's because literally the Democrat Party has no one to put up that has high integrity, that has delivered anything. And all those things I talked to you about, the high property taxes, highest in the country, high income taxes. They just raised the income tax again. They just raised sales tax again. Our schools that are at the very bottom, the drug traffickers everywhere, the energy costs. The Democrats own all of these things, Glenn. They own every single one of these failures. So Platner's just like, I don't know, flavor of the day. Grab a guy that'll get some media attention and get money.

I hope he is a balloon that pops in the end. Robert Bobby Charles. You can find his website, Bobby for Maine for bobbyformain.com follow him on X at Bobby for main. Bobby, best of luck. I hope you become the governor.
- [46:53]
D
Thank you, Glenn. We're up by double digits in all seven polls. So I hope we're on our way. But you know what, it's through the tape every time. So thank you.
- [47:00]
A
I know it is. I know it is. Thank you. Appreciate it.
