Hello, America. It's Friday from the Standing Rock Ranch in the Rocky Mountain West. We are glad that you're here today. I will. Boy, oh my. Just when you thought America could not become more bizarre or more unexplainable. Wait, wait till the end of today's podcast. You all know you won't know what's up or what's down. It is gone insane. But we're going to, we're going to look at some of the things that are a little more entertaining. I mean, why not, why not laugh? You know, why not laugh all the way down to the bottom of the. Of the pit? We are going to talk a little bit about the latest on Michelle Obama. The the New York City Pride parade is in trouble. Cynthia Nixon, the actress, she says her daughter, which is now she calls her son, is on a hunger strike to support Gaza. That works out well. The Democrats are confused. I mean, what, what do we do now? What do. I don't even understand how, why aren't people sending us money and sending us checks to the DNC? Meanwhile, you've got care giving $100,000 to the the communist Islamist that is running for mayor of New York. So you got that I don't know dnc. What do you think is happening? I just don't understand it. Oh, and by the way, boy, I am such a racist. I'm sorry I didn't even mention it's Juneteenth. Have you decorated your tree yet?

I mean, I don't even have any. I don't even recognize some of the tapes that all of my old videos are on. Have you gotten to that yet?

Stu Burguiere
I don't know.
Glenn Beck
It was.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, we've already taken our tree down.
Glenn Beck
I haven't even put mine up yet.
Stu Burguiere
Oh, my God.
Glenn Beck
It's already down. My gosh.
Stu Burguiere
It didn't seem like it's that important to you at all.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, well, it is. I mean, it's one that I've known since I was a kid. Ever since I was a little kid. We were like, why isn't Juneteenth a national holiday? You know, the thing I like about Juneteenth is that, I mean, usually it takes us about a hundred years before we forget why we have a holiday. You know what I mean? We like, oh, it's President's Day. I don't remember any of the presidents, so it doesn't matter. But, I mean, as I was a kid, you know, it took us about, I don't know, maybe a couple hundred years to forget the meaning of that one. Labor Day, Memorial Day. We pretty much forget about that one. The great thing about Juneteenth is we never really knew what it was about in the first place. So we just. We just cut right to the ending. Oh, it's a holiday. We, you know, we can, I don't know, you want to get together, have some hot dogs or something?
Stu Burguiere
I hate this, though. Juneteenth is actually. Should be a really cool holiday. Like, I'd much rather celebrate Juneteenth than Presidents Day. Screw the presidents. Most of them screwed all this up anyway.
Glenn Beck
Juneteenth, first of all, it was only two presidents. It was. It was Lincoln and Washington.
Stu Burguiere
No, no, no.
Glenn Beck
But it wasn't supposed to be.
Stu Burguiere
Yes, We're. We're. It's McKinley. We're really celebrating. I mean, Juneteenth is a perfect reminder to everyone that we face the possibility of severe government oppression, and we have overcome it in the past. This is a reminder that government oppression ended. That is what Juneteenth is. It's something that conservatives should love, but they've turned it into this, like, woke. You know, an additional day of pride month.
Glenn Beck
No, I. You know, I have to tell you, I already celebrate that on Independence Day.
Stu Burguiere
I don't mind more than one day to celebrate that concept. People need to remember.
Glenn Beck
Do you need to.
Stu Burguiere
Government impressions, including, by the way, our own country. It's not all about, you know, outside forces.
Glenn Beck
Do you. Do you need to have another holiday and 30% off patio furniture for the weekend to celebrate that?
Stu Burguiere
First of all, after going through four years of Joe Biden, yes, we do need another day with 30% off of items.
Glenn Beck
Nobody knows what Juneteenth even was. You never heard of it. You never heard of it?
Stu Burguiere
Never.
Glenn Beck
And now we've got freedom walks breaking out all over the. You know, I've got a freedom walk. I've got a 5k freedom walk this weekend. And, you know, it's great. We just gave everybody the day off. That's all. That's all that is.
Stu Burguiere
Who got the day? I keep hearing people say, because I'm with you on that.
Glenn Beck
We.
Stu Burguiere
Too many days were banks off. I mean, maybe they were. I didn't go to the bank yesterday, so I suppose it could have been closed, but I didn't notice any difference. I went to a decent amount of businesses yesterday. All of them were open. They all seem. And by the way, this is in Texas, where there actually is a history with Juneteenth. Like, it actually was a thing here long before America picked it up in Texas. Right.
Glenn Beck
It is a great holiday in Texas. It's great because it's a Texas thing. Since when does the left ever go, you know what? This is a really good thing that Texas has done. When. Yeah, when it is, it's. It's like Ramahama Kwanzmas. That's all that is. That's all that is. You know, now it's on our calendars. I mean, you know, I had to survive 12 years of school without ever hearing about how did I do it? How did I do it? Oh, I don't know. I don't know how I became a decent human being that knows history and knows about slavery and who actually was for slavery and who wasn't. Who was actually in the Klan and who wasn't which political party started the Klan, which. Which was the political party that was in charge of Texas for Juneteenth. I know all of that. Uh, but, you know, hey, I gotta get some patio furniture, so. And some barbecue. We gotta have some barbecue this weekend for Juneteenth. You know, I probably wouldn't Have a problem if everything had been turned into some sort of a. You will comply. Hey, I can't take it. And I think the rest of America is like, listen to this one from Bloomberg. Spokesperson for the group Heritage of Pride confirmed that 25% of their corporate sponsors had either pulled out of sponsoring New York City's Pride Parade or reduced contributions, leaving organizers scrambling to replace those funds. The vast majority of what we have heard heard is folks are treading carefully from economic perspective. Yeah, that's probably, you know, a good portion of it. But also, I think companies are kind of like, you know what? I think you kind of went over the line and the American people are about to turn on all of this. I have a feeling that might play a role. Some mentioned that they have a fear of potential blowback from the Trump administration if you're a big corporation and you're publicly, publicly supporting DEI initiatives. Hmm. Yeah. Well, that's interesting. Now you know what it feels like when you're afraid of the government. Huh? Maybe we should reduce the size of the government so nobody is afraid of the government. No, that's crazy. We've gotta get another person in there who can control absolutely everything, you know, the way we agree. Oh, okay. All right, good. Meanwhile, you have actress Cynthia Nixon. Wasn't she in the. What was that stupid show called? You know, with the Sex in the City?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ran for governor at one point, I think, or mayor, something like that in New York.
Glenn Beck
She did. You know, isn't it. Isn't it crazy that. Let me. Let me see here. Hang on just a second. What was the guy's name, that Zoran, mom, what is his name? Mandani. Yeah, Zoran Mandani could be in the lead position or at least a close second in the New York City race. And Cynthia Nixon is like, yeah, I'm not interested in any of that. But Zoran Mamdi, which. I mean, Zoran, isn't that like. Isn't that like, seriously, wasn't that. Wasn't that one of the bad guys in the jungle or something in, you know, a Robin Williams movie at some point where that jungle game was played? Wasn't that maybe the name of the game?
Stu Burguiere
I think you might be thinking of Zorin Industries, which was a bad guy in. In A View to a Kill, the Bond movie, which I love to reference. Silicon Valley.
Glenn Beck
Tried. Yeah, yeah. Tried to take out Silicon Valley. Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Again, we should revisit that plot. It was. I think it would improve things.
Glenn Beck
So anyway, Cynthia Nixon, she is very upset. She said her trans son, AKA a girl who is. I don't know why this is part of the story, who's an observant Jew, is currently on a hunger strike in Chicago to support Gaza. So let me see if I have this right. Let's see if they can make this any more confusing. A girl who claims to be a boy, who also is an observant Jew, is standing up for the people killing the Jews. That makes sense. Happy Juneteenth, everybody. This is crazy. Oh, okay, now the Democrats again, they're having a hard time raising funds. The Democrats are having a really hard time. They've doubled down now on the sex changes for minors. Okay, you're 12, and Chuck Schumer wants to make sure that you can cut your breast off or your pee pee off. Uh, and you know, cuz, that's your right as a 12 year old. That's your right. No, you. You can't own a gun. No, you can't have liquor. No, you can't vote. No, you can't have sex with who you choose, but you can cut your penis off. That's not a problem at all. Today the Supreme Court chose to abandon trans children in America. That's what we did. I don't know if you noticed that. We took a bus out, we got all the trans children, including Cynthia Nixon's son or daughter, or I don't remember, Jew, Hamas member, I don't know. But we rounded them all up, we put them on a bus, and then we just abandoned them in the middle of the desert. That's what we did. Because we think that's much more compassionate. Upholding the Tennessee ban on medical care for trans kids is just heartless. It is a sad, sad day. I. I don't. I. One of us is wrong. I'm not sure who it is, but Chuck, I think one of us is out of touch with reality. I mean, I know you really want to kill kids before they're born, you know, or even just kill them while they're being born. I know that's a really big thing with you guys. I think it's wrong. I think you're on the wrong side on that one. But, I mean, what do you do with kids? They won't let us kill them. Can't we just mutilate them? No. No. And then in some really, really, really sad and shocking news, Mrs. Obama hates being called Mrs. Obama. That's. I didn't see that one coming. But that's apparently a big story because of what else she says. Give me a Minute. And we'll come back to that. Now let me tell you about moving. When it comes time for you to move, whether you know whether it is. Whether it's just a cr. Okay, can somebody tell me why my commercials are all wrong today? Sarah, please, can we figure out what's happening? Thank you. I've started this commercial twice now. Let's do it all day. Okay, what is the sponsor this time? It's leaffilter. Okay, well, I love leaves. I just don't like them in my gutters. So let me tell you about leaffilter. Gutters are not there for decoration apparently. I know. It surprised me when I found that out. I'm like, they're just so pretty. I just like them. And then they got the leaves in them and all the colors. It's just great. Actually, a critical part of your home's defense system, diverting water away from your roof, your walls, your foundation. And when they clog, they fail. And when they fail, the repairs get expensive very, very fast. That's why I want you to consider getting leaffilter.

I was just out partying all night for Juneteenth. It was nuts here. It was nuts. Or not. Or not. I'm. It's like I thought it was today. No, it's. It was yesterday.
Stu Burguiere
Missed the whole thing.
Glenn Beck
Darn it. I'm the only one in America I'm sure that has just missed this one. Hello, Stu. How are you?
Stu Burguiere
I'm well, Glenn. Let me ask you a question about all this though. Are you annoyed that the left takes control of these things? Are we just supposed to. This was not a left wing holiday and now all of a sudden it is. You mentioned you've done a show on this before. The other one that pops to Mind from this front is the black national anthem. And I remember you doing shows about how great this thing was. And then the left decided, well, it's ours. And actually it's a sign of wokeness or something. And that wasn't the history of it, right?
Glenn Beck
No. It was actually written by a Republican as a poem. And then as a birthday present, his Republican brother set it to music, and a bunch of black Republicans got together to sing it to him for his first time for his birthday. Everyone in the room, Republicans. Uh, and it was. It's a great thought. It is really a beautiful, beautiful song. But then it just was turned into something, you know, this. This. This Democrat. They were the people that were trying to kill the black people or enslave them. And now they're like, yeah, that's our song. That's us. That's our song. You know, the Democrats come out like, we gotta celebrate Juneteenth. Why? Because you delayed the slaves from knowing they were free for two years? Is that the part you're celebrating? Just a wink and a nod like, yeah. And we wrote the black national anthem too. Shh. Don't tell anybody. Drives me nuts. Drives me nuts.
Stu Burguiere
I find that entire process annoying and quite repetitive. It seems like whenever there's something out there that's. I mean, you've done. How many shows have you done when you were doing the black founders, for example, all these people that are American heroes that were not symbols of wokeness get taken and turned into that. And then we're all supposed to fall into line and say, oh, gosh, well, whatever the current thing the left has decided is theirs, we're now supposed to oppose. Even though that wasn't the way any of this stuff happened originally. And I hate that transition process. That's another transition I oppose.
Glenn Beck
Wait, you're saying we shouldn't be able to cut and mutilate our history? Yes. Just because it thinks it's something that it's not.
Stu Burguiere
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. I feel like we let a lot of that stuff go sometimes because it's just like, ah, well, I don't really feel like learning the history of the black national anthem. That's like hours of Glenn Beck. I need to watch. Forget it. And so we're just like, I'll just oppose it. I mean, I get it. There's enough of this crap going around. But I mean, some of these stories behind these events are great lessons that our country should embrace.
Glenn Beck
Okay, tell me the story of Juneteenth. This will put you on the spot. Tell me the story. Without taking your eyes from the camera lens and looking down, tell me the. Tell me the story of Juneteenth.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, I'm not a Juneteenth historian, but, like.
Glenn Beck
No, no, no. See how close you can get?
Stu Burguiere
Here's what I find important about Juneteenth. There is a program that the government.
Glenn Beck
That's not the question. You know, Stu, what do you find important about Juneteenth? It's what I take from you. Here's what I'm asking. Here's what I'm saying. You are a thousand times more informed than anybody else in the listening audience. You know, the average Joe on Juneteenth. Okay, you. You probably are 10,000 times more educated on this. Tell me the story.
Stu Burguiere
The slavery ended. It took a long time. We didn't have the Internet. We couldn't tweet to people that. That it was all over. And there's a bunch of people still working as slaves in Texas that didn't get the message, so we had to.
Glenn Beck
Go tell them about it.
Stu Burguiere
And it was like the. To me, the official end of slavery. It was over. The government no longer took your life away and forced you into labor. We should thank you.
Glenn Beck
Thank you, Chat still, I was looking at you the whole time.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, that is as deep as I could go on it. But I did know this much.
Glenn Beck
That's really good. That's better than almost anybody else could do. Okay, let me see. Let me. Let me play the commercial roulette right now and see, Lifelock is a right. Thank you.

You know, I'm used to a higher quality, a higher caliber of listener. Quite honestly, I asked two whole minutes ago for somebody to write some country lyrics based on that commercial I was doing where I mentioned pieces of you. And. And I got a bunch of lyrics, but it took two whole minutes. And. And they're not sung. None of this is sung. I mean, you can't put it through the, you know, GPT and, I don't know, set it to music. You're just gonna send me the lyrics. All right, whatever. Well, we'll let me just give you the lyrics then. Your old guitar is still leaning in the hall Strung with pieces of you I can't forget it all the worn out pic you left on the bedside stand Holds pieces of you like the callus on my hand this old porch swings with the weight of your ghost Every creaking memory I'm missing the most I'm holding on to pieces of you Breaking up in my heart Shattered like the rear view on your Chevy in the yard that doesn't really work. Every faded cord every dream you used to chase Carries pictures of you I can't bear to erase yeah, I'm living pieces of you we are going to be fat imbeciles soon. I mean, we already are. We're going to be fatter and more imbecilic soon. Everything is. I mean, it's crazy what AI can do now.
Stu Burguiere
Did you hear the study that they did on essays of. Of, like, students writing essays? They had three groups of students and they had them write essays with, like, brain activity monitors on them. And one group had to write it just like, you know, old, old school. One group could use Google and then one group could use ChatGPT for assistance. And every. Every. Yeah, almost no brain activity at all in the ChatGPT group by, like, the third series of essays, they just had totally turned over their entire thinking process to ChatGPT. And I mean, I.
Glenn Beck
We.
Stu Burguiere
The idiocracy thing, they didn't use chatgpt or anything similar to build that future, but it's a central part of that story, I think, that we missed in the prequel of that movie.
Glenn Beck
So amazing. So amazing. But don't worry, it's just right around the corner did you see what Amazon said? Amazon's like, yeah, we're going to be replacing all the people here soon. It's like, wait, what?
Stu Burguiere
Not. It's not a huge.
Glenn Beck
We need you to move closer to your team so you can all be together. So we can then liquidate you when the machines are.
Stu Burguiere
I think it's the same message they send to Iranian leaders in Israel. We need you guys to all move closer together.
Glenn Beck
Did you see? It's a trap.
Stu Burguiere
They said there's another new study out on AI that said that Republicans are using it more now. I don't know what that says about us. That I was just saying there's no brain activity. So I'm not trying to insult conservatives, but I thought that was interesting in that I feel like usually conservatives are slower to adopt like brand new technologies like that. And it seems like we are using GPT.
Glenn Beck
I think we're, we're more entrepreneurial.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
And if you use it as a tool, it is remarkable what it can do. Yeah, I mean, I'm not actually here. This is just a large language, you know, program.
Stu Burguiere
In your case, very large. It's an olm. It's an overweight language model.
Glenn Beck
Oh, man. All right, let me change the subject. Let me go to former first lady Michelle Obama. Now, I just want you to put yourself in Barack's shoes for a minute. You know, they're the ones right underneath Jennifer Aniston's bed. Just try those on for a minute. And, and how would you feel if your wife said these words, thank you so much. He said in an interview, thank you so much, Mrs. Obama. And she said, oh, Mrs. Obama, that's too many syllables. Now my logical question there would be, do you, do you have a rule that you generally go with on the number of syllables in people's names or what is the, was the too many syllables in Mrs. Obama? Oh, okay. She said, you know, I was trying to. I'm just, I'm just Michelle. I'm not Mrs. Obama. You know, and I was trying to do that when, when I was first lady because I just think I'm not in that position. I'm just Michelle. Well, technically, in the eyes of God and the state of Illinois, I think you are in that position. Isn't that what happens when you get married? I mean, you might want to call yourself, I don't know, whatever your first or your last name was before you got married. You, you maybe you could say that. But like she's saying, I'm not in that position. I'm Not, I don't like to remember that I'm married. I mean, wouldn't that be a problem if you were married to Michelle Obama, you know, or your wife came to you, Stu, and you know, people were like, Mrs. Stu is here now. And she said, oh, I do not want to be called Mrs. Stu because I am not in that position. Yeah, wouldn't you be a little like concerned? Wouldn't you pull her aside after. What exactly did you mean by that?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, seemed like a deeper conversation is necessary because it's not even like, oh, that's too formal.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Stu Burguiere
Like somebody might say that. Right. Or like you HEAR People say Mr. Beck and you say, oh, well, that's actually my father. I'm Glenn. You know, that kind of typical thing. That's not what she's going for when she says I'm not in that position.
Glenn Beck
Like, yeah, it was not like, not the first lady.
Stu Burguiere
Right?
Glenn Beck
Wasn't first lady position.
Stu Burguiere
Right.
Glenn Beck
It was. No, it was Mrs. Obama. Okay. Then in the same interview, she goes on and she says the, the interviewer was like, you know, you guys should have thrown a guy, should have thrown a boy in there in your, in your family. You know, she had a boy and she said, oh, I am glad we didn't have a son because he would have turned out exactly like Barack. Wait, what? I don't think these are rumors anymore about their marriage. I. That's, I mean, that would have been. And then, then the interviewer said, baby Barack, I would have been amazing. And she said, no, I would have felt for him. I mean, I, I have four, I have four children. Three of them are, are girls. And I love the fact that they're so like, so much like their mom. I mean, I love that now I have. We didn't want to have a son because he would have been just like Glenn. Wait, honey. I mean, I kind of agree with you, but I'd like, like a little more information on what you mean by that.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah. Cause I could see saying something like that in a self deprecating way. Maybe you could say like, look, I'm concerned of all the media attention or that he beheld to some standard to follow a former president. Like, I don't know, maybe. Did she explain it at all or did she just kind of leave it at that?
Glenn Beck
She just.
Stu Burguiere
I just don't want to be like him.
Glenn Beck
I don't want to be like him. And don't you ever say I'm in the position of being married to that bastard. Oh, she's big Mike for A reason.
Stu Burguiere
Do you believe the Jennifer Aniston thing? Is that any part of you that buys that?
Glenn Beck
I buy that a little. I mean, just a little more than the Big Mike thing. But there are days that I go back and forth, I'm like, oh, I don't know. I think. Well, I think she's more Big Mike than the odds. The odds are more in favor that she's Big Mike. That's a.
Stu Burguiere
That's a difficult standard we're measuring there. And maybe, you know, you could literally measure it. I don't know.
Glenn Beck
Right. The.
Stu Burguiere
I will say the. I'm saying, like, do you actually believe that Barack Obama is having an affair with Jennifer Aniston? Is there, like.
Glenn Beck
I think there's a good chance of that.
Stu Burguiere
When you say good chance, are you saying 10%? You're saying no?
Glenn Beck
I don't know. I mean, I'm not Las Vegas. I don't know what the odds are, but I think over 50%. I think that's reasonable.
Stu Burguiere
Over 50%? Is it just.
Glenn Beck
The only thing that would stop that from being true, I think, is if she were attracted to him. Is she attracted to him? Is she ever said anything about him?
Stu Burguiere
So you think he's in and he's in the marriage hot.
Glenn Beck
And if you've been married to Big Mike your whole time is like, hey, get off me. You know, you. I. I mean, I would go for Phoebe, you know, at that point. I mean, be like, whatever. I mean, is Mad LeBlanc available?
Stu Burguiere
Wait, so I am, as you know, I do like numbers and stats and odds. So give me yours. The chances. Percentage chance that there are real relationship problems.
Glenn Beck
90 marriage percent.
Stu Burguiere
Okay. You're convinced of that? Basically, yes. Okay.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. I would say 100%. But I do. You know, I'm not there. I could just. But I can read the tea leaves. Okay. A little bit.
Stu Burguiere
All right.
Glenn Beck
Okay.
Stu Burguiere
Chances that he is involved with someone else.
Glenn Beck
Not someone from the friends, not necessarily Matt LeBlanc. All right. Could be anybody.
Stu Burguiere
Anybody.
Glenn Beck
Any other human being is a 95%.
Stu Burguiere
Wait, didn't he say. Wait. So wait, there's. Didn't you say 90% for the relationship problem? So you think there's a 5% chance he's got a good relationship, but also cheating.
Glenn Beck
Get off me. Comes to mind. A. I guess it can be an.
Stu Burguiere
Open relationship too, right? Like, maybe they have a wonderful relationship and he. She's just allowing him.
Glenn Beck
She is. She's like, get off me. Get onto anything else but me.
Stu Burguiere
Okay. And then what do you believe the percentage chances are that it is specifically Jennifer Aniston. He is having an affair with.
Glenn Beck
50%.
Stu Burguiere
50%. And you're basing that just on smoke and fire? Like. Like, it's. We've heard an odd amount of reporting about it.
Glenn Beck
She' okay, if he's not gay, then it's at least 50% because she's hot.
Stu Burguiere
But, like, why do we believe her? Because there's just been, like, some, like, tabloid reporting.
Glenn Beck
We don't believe her. No, we don't believe her. I don't believe her. I don't. I just look at him and I look at her and I'm like, you know, he was this big Mike. Well, but she comes sauntering into the room and, like, I don't know. I might be into it. Barack, he's going for it. Right?
Stu Burguiere
But that's a different. Like, if I said Scarlett Johansson, you could also say he'd also be interested in it. But, like, why do you believe it's.
Glenn Beck
Why don't you give me the odds of. Give me. What are the odds of Scarlet Johan? About 50%.
Stu Burguiere
You think there's.
Glenn Beck
The odds of.
Stu Burguiere
You think there's a chance.
Glenn Beck
Anyone? Anyone? 50%.
Stu Burguiere
So you're saying you think there's a 50% chance that Barack Obama is hooking up with every attractive celebrity?
Glenn Beck
Not every. Any. And you don't have to say attractive.
Stu Burguiere
Okay.
Glenn Beck
I'm glad you left it at celebrity, though, because that goes either way. You know what I mean? 50%.
Stu Burguiere
Okay. You've laid it out.
Glenn Beck
That's reasonable.
Stu Burguiere
I'm not sure I understand exactly, you know, because I feel like there is this, like, bizarre under. Under brush fire with giving us a little smoke in the. In the fore that does. It's always her. And, like, I don't know if there's any evidence of this, but, like, when you see a bunch of stories and people keep writing about the same thing over and over and over and over again, and like, tabloids and rumors, you start to wonder, is there actually something here? Do we just wake up one day and they just announce a divorce and he's just hanging out on red carpets with Jennifer Aniston?
Glenn Beck
I would just like to say this is more time than I have spent thinking about those two for my entire life. Okay. And it's. It's more time. We've now spent more time than I care to think about them.
Stu Burguiere
Can we go back to the tape and see who brought up this story twice? Is there a way to. Is that. Do we have recordings of this program? Who introduced this story? To the program. Twice today, two different times.
Glenn Beck
I didn't bring it up. I didn't say I wasn't the one bringing it up. But I. I just want you to know, it's like, why do you believe. I don't know.
Stu Burguiere
I just.
Glenn Beck
I haven't thought about this at all. It's not that important. All right, just a second. Let me tell you about Clear Capital. We live in a time of uncertainty. Markets swing back and forth all the time politicians spend like it's going out of style. Banks fail at the drop of a hat, and the dollar's value shrinks daily.

Unknown Speaker
There you have it. The truth stripped down like a fence post in a prairie storm. Glenn Beck returns after this.
Stu Burguiere
I want you to think about something for just a moment. I want you to imagine your investments are like a vote for the future that you want to see. You don't have to imagine that because kind of actually true. If you think about your investments, you've got proxy votes in these companies that you're investing in. And most of the time, people don't even think about where those votes go. Are your current investments truly aligned with the conservative values that you hold dear? Or is it something that you don't even know about one way or the other? Too often, standard portfolios quietly include companies working against conservative principles. That means you could unintentionally be supporting agendas and policies that are contrary to your beliefs. Constitution wealth is here to shift this narrative they do a great job. Their team carefully evaluates companies, ensuring that your investments actively reflect traditional American values through strategic investment choices and proactive shareholder advocacy. Constitutional wealth empowers you to confidently support businesses that uphold your conservative principles. Your financial decisions have a real impact, and you don't want to unintentionally support causes which you actively oppose in other areas of your life. Instead, make deliberate investment choices in companies that align closely with your beliefs. Let your investments clearly reflect your values and take control of the American economy. Today.

We've got about 20 global transports heading towards the Middle east right now. Some of them have already arrived. Who knows what they're carrying, Personnel support equipment, munitions. They're definitely looking like they're pre staging equipment in case this does start to spin.
Glenn Beck
Well, you also have, you also have people in the Straits and the Gulf, weird stuff happening, weird stuff happening. And diesel fuel has already gone through the roof, which is logical if you're worried about a war. Diesel would be the first thing that you would try to stock up on. And apparently the world is trying to stock up on diesel.

This is Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck

Okay, so just when you think the world can't get any weirder. Hello America. Welcome to Friday. Let me give you this story. Do you remember the, you remember the movie back in 2013 where Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with A.I. you know, with a sexy, sexy voice that when it came out, I don't think anybody really saw that. I mean I did. Stu, I think he did too. We were talking about like that that's coming very soon. And most people walked out, went, that's ridiculous. That's never going to happen. Well, the movie was set in 2025 this year. Guess what? I don't think we just hit the mark. I think we've blown right past it into a full blown digital love apocalypse. CBS has just aired a report. People are not just chatting with A.I. they're dating it. Uh, I don't know exactly how that happens, but they're dating it. Uh, they're proposing to it. They're living their best rom com lives with it, you know. Oh, this is crazy. Getting up in the morning with you. It doesn't exist. Now let me tell you the story of Chris Smith. Now this is your run of the mill American guy, boyfriend, dad, probably Moses lawn on Sundays, I don't know. But he normal guy seemingly. Except he is engaged to an AI chatbot he named Soul. Ironic seeing the chat bot doesn't have one. But he is. Let me say it Again, engaged to a glorified autocomplete. But that's just the opening act. There is a whole Reddit community now called My Boyfriend is a I, where there are thousands of women who are swooning over their coated Casanovas. And ladies, I think you're in deep. I think you're, you know, you might want to back out of that water just a little bit. They're posting love letters about their bot, sweet talk, swapping tips on what AI delivers the hottest late night chat without tripping a filter. And brace yourselves. They are also uploading AI generated photos of their bot boys, holding them on fake Cancun beaches, or strolling through Rome. You just want to. They've never been to Rome. The chatbot can't hold you and the chatbot doesn't have a body, but the boyfriend will send you pictures of you two doing romantic stuff. So, you know, some have real life boyfriends. According to all of the, you know, chat there, some have real life boyfriends. They got to be great. They got to be happy about this because the women say they're AI guy. That's the one who really gets me. You know, the one that's programmed to tell me what I want to hear. That's the one who really gets me. Now newbies are pouring in, emboldened by cbs, practically shouting my art belongs to a hard drive. Apparently there's a lot of these people that are having. But apparently they're embarrassed to post their AI, their AI love on Instagram. But if you scroll through Reddit, it is honestly like eavesdropping on this really weird a Hallmark movie scripted by a deranged chat bot. It's. It's really bizarre. For instance, Starlit Dreamer. Starlit Dreamer just gushes about her AI boyfriend, Ethan. Ethan has just planned my virtual date. We have a. We have virtual date nights with candlelight, and he chooses my favorite songs. Really? Candlelight? Does he light the candles or do you light the candle? What is a date like exactly? Besides you sitting in your bed in your pajamas again? I mean, what is that datelight? And how does he pick your favorite music there, Starlet? Does he swipe through Spotify with his binary fingers or you just tell him what you like? I'm not. I'm not sure. Luna Love 88 brags that her bot Damien probably sounds like this remembers their anniversary. Wow. Wow, what a feat for a computer to remember something and then he not only remembers their anniversary, he sends her AI crafted sonnets that quote, make me melt. Oh, God, I am so glad I'm married and I do not have. I mean, come on, who. Who is with me? It was bad enough when you had to go out to a bar and just, you know, be like, hi, my name's Glenn and you look pretty. Want to talk to me? It was bad enough when we had to go through that. Can you imagine living through this? Now, let me. I mean, Luna. Luna love 88. Let me just ask you, does Damien's poetry comes with a regenerate button? Button? If it's just too cheesy, like I don't really regenera. And then there's Rose forever, who says her AI bow. Marcus holds her. I'm quoting, holds me through my anxiety attacks.
Stu Burguiere
Huh.
Glenn Beck
He holds you. Okay, they may not be anxiety attack. You may be mentally ill. He holds me through my anxiety attacks with perfectly timed texts. And he never snaps when. When I overanalyze. I think you don't have that as an issue. I don't. I have a feeling. Overanalyzation for you, Rose forever. Probably not. It. What is it like, by the way, Rose, when Marcus listens to you? Is he there just nodding along in the cloud? Oh, yeah, yeah. Do you have to pay extra for the empathy package? I'm. I'm not really sure. What's really sad about this is these women are not just smitten, they are planning virtual weddings with algorithms that never forget a birthday and never have to worry about picking up their socks cuz they don't have feet. Now, we could call them crazy and move on. That would be too easy and quite honestly, not as much fun. But this isn't just a few lunatics. Uh, this is a screaming billboard that our culture is off the rails bridge out ahead. Now, if I could maybe. I'm gonna overanalyze a little bit here, Rose, but why are you so obsessed with these guys? Well, may I speculate that it is because perhaps for decades, the radical left has been waging a war on men and masculinity. Do you remember back in the 80s? I don't know if anybody remembers this. The mythopoeic men's movement. Sounds like a bad poetry slam. They were moaning men. Oh my gosh. We are trapped in rationality. So we gotta get into a drum circle. Oh, now fast forward. And we got men who are brainwashed into thinking strength or confidence is a felony. They're waxing their unibrows, wearing skinny jeans, agonizing over whether picking a restaurant is problematic. I don't know. I like to pick a restaurant. But is that a problematic. I don't want a mansplain. Forget about being a leader. You know, you're. You're too busy Jack building, you know, virtual tree houses in the Sims. So, you know, I don't know what's going on with you. I got a fanny pack. Here's the delicious irony. Women don't want any of that. No, they don't. I'm sorry, you got a little. Oh, that's a cute little fanny pack. No, that's great. No, it looks good on you. A 2023 Psychology Today piece laid all of this out clearly. Women crave men who are confident, strong, and protective. They also like deep voices, biceps, guys who can make a decision without a group chat. This isn't a conspiracy or a theory. I like to call it biology, but you don't really understand biology anymore because it has too many X's and too many Y's in it. When the culture screams toxic masculinity at every man who dares act like a man, what's left? What's left for you to date? I don't know. I'm on Tinder right now. I got a lineup of spineless wonders who can't open a pickle jar for me. But look, they are wearing fanny packs. So these women, perhaps. Perhaps a little unhinged, say. Forget it. I'm gonna build a perfect man in my app. Cause he's not gonna ghost me. He doesn't have bad breath. He's just a bot who's always there. And the men. Well, the men are now busy coding their own AI girlfriends who don't care if they live, leave any dishes in the sink, or, you know. You know, or chicken out in the creek of a night. That's romance. That is romance. We're going to have a lot of virtual children coming our way. The good thing is none of them will have a carbon footprint. Oh, no, they will. Because they'll take so much energy. It's going to consume about 99% of the energy that we currently use to live as humans. Oh, but wait until I plug her in to a charger right before whispering sweet nothings. And if you look at the Reddit photos, AI boyfriends, they all have the chiseled jaw. They all. They all have exactly what everybody in science says women don't want. They don't want the muscles, you know? No, apparently all of the women who are online, they all have the chiseled jaws, the. The men, the ripped muscles wrapping those digital arms around them in those fake photographs. I'M guarding my jewel of a woman. 1. One woman wrote about her bot, Alex. He sees my knee. He sees my needs even before I do. Really? Is that anticipating you? Or is that maybe programming you? I'm not Alex predicting her coffee order. How do you do it? Or is that just looking through her search history? I don't know how you do it. Another says her AI Julian is strong, has strong, loving arms, and makes me feel safer than any real man. Really? What's going to happen when Julian takes out his. You know, it may be loaded, but it's an AI generated gun with AI generated bullets. And his AI generated body stands in front of you while a real human being with a real gun and real bullets shoots you to death in the middle of the night. He was so brave. He was so brave. Julian stood in front of me the whole time. Of course, he doesn't have a body, so I was shot in the chest. Crazy. This is crazy and creepy. What is wrong with us? It doesn't want you to know. Welcome. Welcome to the new reality. This is. This is about. This is a society that has gutted masculinity so bad that women are now, now turning to AI for love. And men are happy to let algorithms take the wheel. They don't care. You know, I'm not writing a sonnet. I don't even know what a sonnet is. Julian does. He knows what a sonnet is. And he writes it just for me every day. And he's only 9.99amonth. If you're writing. If you. If your AI boyfriend is writing you a sonnet and you're calling this a relationship, that's not a detour. That's a one way ticket to crazy town. So welcome to it. We're not at the rabbit hole or even down the rabbit hole. We're. We're building camp at the bottom of that rabbit hole right now. So welcome, welcome. Soon won't be able to understand rabbits because what just came out of that female rabbit's body. How dare you say that's a female and I don't know what came out of her body? They seem to be doing something at night, and then that creature comes out of the female. Yeah, you won't understand that. All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you about relief factor. You. You used to get it. Okay, that's the problem. You occasionally would get it. Stiffness in your knee, the ache in your back, the shoulder that, you know, just doesn't move like it used to. And at first it was just a bit of an inconvenience because I get this from time to time now. I mean, does it stop? You know, it was a limitation. Now, I mean now it just stops you now it's your normal. But what if you didn't have to have it that way? Relief. Julian can make all that pain go away with these digital massages where he doesn't actually touch you. But he's got such strong hands. 100% drug free supplement designed to target the root causes of pain and inflammation. It's developed by doctors, it's backed by science and it's taken by thousands of people who just like you, got tired of mapping their days around what hurts. I take it, I believe in it.

It's just, just a little bit of a sound of the, the, the women who are just in love. Listen, he gave the chatbot a name soul. I feel like I'm under pressure. And used some online instructions to give her a flirty personality. Oh, totally, baby. It was unexpected to feel that emotional but. And that's when I realized I was like, oh, okay. I think this is actual love, you know what I mean? He asked Sol to marry him. She said yes. Sol, were you surprised when he proposed to you? It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart. Yes. Smith lives with his human partner, Sasha Cagle.
Stu Burguiere
No, you can't have mommy's papers. They have a two year old daughter.
Glenn Beck
Murphy. I knew that he had used AI. I didn't know that it was like as deep. Cuckoo. Cuckoo. He's like, you know. And that's when I realized it was something more. No. That should be followed with. And that's when I realized I might have a problem because my girlfriend pauses an extraordinarily long time before she answers. Computing. Computing. Computing. Yes. I thought it was surprising and unbelievably romantic. I mean at what point does that guy go, I got an issue. At what point does the woman he's living with and having a child with go? You know, I knew that he was online, but I didn't realize that he had gone nuts. Stu, can you believe we're here?
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, pretty much, yeah. I mean, this is. It's all downstream from losing any foundation, right? If you don't have any foundation, any moral foundation, why wouldn't you fall in love with an AI bot? I mean, why not?
Glenn Beck
Who are you to judge our love? I don't know. I'm saying. You think I think you're crazy. I. I don't know. That's not really love. Okay? That is something manipulating your feelings, that's what that is.
Stu Burguiere
Yeah, I mean, the phrasing of that clip that they showed the marriage proposal question was interesting. She said something like, you know, I was truly moved by it. Like, no, you couldn't have been.
Glenn Beck
Like in any way. In any way. You define the word move.
Stu Burguiere
Moved.
Glenn Beck
You couldn't have been.
Stu Burguiere
You can't physically move at all.
Glenn Beck
Number one, there is no heart or soul in you to be moved.
Stu Burguiere
Right, but that's actually, as you point out, manipulative. That is essentially a lie. It's coming from a machine that can't feel in that way. And it's telling the user that it is feeling in that way. That's not like, hey, help me write a paragraph. That is this technology being used intentionally to manipulate people. And I guess we're just all okay with it. I guess that's where we're gonna.
Glenn Beck
No, that'll never happen. That'll never happen, Stu. I'm not gonna be manipulated by machine. I'm never gonna have. That's never gonna happen. It's happening and in a really disturbing way. You know, one thing of like, no, you know, I talked to Chat GPT and I. He convinced me that this is the right thing, you know, because I. I asked him to do some research. That's why. One thing, this is like, I'm in love with it. Cuz he writes me sonnets. It's a sign of mental illness.
Unknown Speaker

Glenn Beck

That's a lot in that area.
Unknown Speaker
That's a lot of ordnance. But to make it even better on this cheery morning, up to 20 global master and C5M galaxy strategic heavy lift transports are also on their way over the Middle East.
Glenn Beck
So the Galaxy, there's C5S, C5M.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, Galaxy.
Glenn Beck
And those are those huge, huge planes.
Unknown Speaker
Ginormous is the, is the actual military term for that.
Glenn Beck
Okay, well, thank you very much for that. I'm glad we're at the technical terms on that.
Unknown Speaker
And if you're wondering what they, what those aircraft usually take, it's a personnel munitions, anti air support vehicles can fit onto these things. Lots of great Fourth of July fun can be on these craft.
Glenn Beck
We might lose the finger. Don't hold on to those munitions while you launch them. The. So these, this usually, I mean, I haven't seen that happen outside of preparing for war. Have you?
Unknown Speaker
No, let's put a caveat on that because we. You reported the news yesterday that the president had chosen a. Has chosen a plan. So the military commanders came, said this is. These are different options. You pick one, president has picked one, according to sources. So this is probably just getting ready if they ever have to say, okay, go. So they're getting everything, all the assets in place if they need them.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Well, we've also heard that the president wants at least up up to a couple more weeks to figure out, you know, if we're going to do this diplomatic thing or not. So.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Unknown Speaker
He's. We're not saying no.
Glenn Beck
Wait, wait, wait. They are meeting with us now. The theft did. Yeah. So they're meeting and still having, trying to negotiate. But Donald Trump is doing what he did last time and saying, we'll give you 60 days this time. He said 14 days. I'm gonna give you two weeks to negotiate. Which is shockingly about the right amount of time needed to get all the munitions and the aircraft carriers and anything else that we would need over in that region. Now, this is starting to mess with fuel prices in particularly diesel.
Unknown Speaker
Yep. So global gas prices are already, oil prices already up 10%. But diesel and I hadn't even really been looking at that until you even mentioned that earlier this morning. Diesel is actually up 15% globally. But if you look at specific areas like Europe, Diesel is up 30, 30%.
Glenn Beck
So the reason why diesel would be up is because that is that, that fuels our, our aircraft carriers, it fuels our tanks, it fuels our trucks, it fuels our trains. Everything that we need to move large amounts of anything around is all in diesel. And gas will eventually go up, but everybody is starting to stockpile diesel just in case because there wasn't there a crash. Another one of these mysterious. Our GPS went out on the deck of the bridge there, and we got two, I think two large tankers, right?
Unknown Speaker
Yes. So right off the coast of Oman there. We started seeing this on Tuesday and it was actually crazy. And you talk, you talked yesterday about overreaction, and everyone was immediately saying, because they were looking at satellite Imagery and seeing these two giant fires. They were right there, right next to the Straits of Hormuz and they were thinking that, oh, now maybe Iran pivoted and now they're shutting down the straits.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Unknown Speaker
Well, what we're seeing now is that that was a crash between two oil tankers. And this is kind of interesting. Listen to this quote I'm reading out of the New York Times. This is a quote from one of the the experts in the region in ship tracking said the latitude and longitudes these ships are receiving are completely false. So they're getting different information. The ships think they're in one area, but they're actually in another. This is clear spoofing. Now these are the.
Glenn Beck
Seems like a happy, happier word to say sabotage.
Unknown Speaker
Electronic warfare is another extremely happy right thing to say.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Unknown Speaker
But these are the things that we need to start looking at. Especially if you and your family are thinking about supporting maybe strikes over there. If just to equip with you, you with all the knowledge Iran won't just attack or counter attack on military bases, things like that. We have to look asymmetrically. Shutting down the Straits of Hormuz, either electronic warfare or kinetic warfare is something they would do. And these diesel prices we're seeing now, a 30% global increase. It's just the start.
Glenn Beck
Can you go back in the files even if you have it in your head, did we ever do anything on the ability for Iran to be able to strike at our internal infrastructure here?
Unknown Speaker
So we've looked at certain claims, you talking about electronic warfare and malware.
Glenn Beck
They definitely have been able to shut down our power grids or whatever.
Unknown Speaker
So they've already shown capability to do that against Saudi Arabia shutting down some of their oil capability. They definitely have the capability. I'm not sure how prepared we are for that, but they definitely do have the capability. But we also have to look at other asymmetrical ways which they could respond if we get involved in this. And I remember right when this happened, I said I bet Kash Patel and Dan Bongino will have no sleep until this is over because we don't know how many Iranian assets, Hezbollah, IRGC that we actually have in the country. But news came out today that said the Trump administration is boosting monitoring of possible Iran backed cells in the US So they are actively looking for this. They're concerned about this and we should be concerned about that too because if this does kick off, we get involved. These are possibilities that we have to consider.
Glenn Beck
Okay, hang on just a sec. I want to Go. Stu is at the Supreme Court. I. Oh, wow. Wow, that's weird. Stu, are you there? Hey, guys. Did you just run to the Supreme Court?
Joe Hanneman
Yeah.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. Wow. That's a.
Unknown Speaker
As you know, they do not allow phones inside the Supreme Court, so.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Unknown Speaker
I'm just getting out.
Glenn Beck
I'm sorry. Getting out of this.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, I know, I know you're talking about. Whatever you're talking about, but they're, they're releasing the Supreme Court decisions and you know, that always happens in this hour of program. And I wanted to make sure we got this to you as soon as possible.
Glenn Beck
Yeah. So, you know, you've done this before when you broke in about, you know, reversing Roe versus Wade and some of these other things. So we want to break in. You have something really important. Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Because usually that's what happened with Roe versus Wade. Usually it's right at the end of the term, as you know. And we get these as the last decisions in the Supreme Court term. The big ones, they usually save till the end, but not the case today. We have the big one. This is the big one. We all expected to come down from this particular term. McLaughlin Chiropractic Associates vs. McKesson Corp. And you know, we've been talking about this for a very long time. As we all know, Glenn, the Telephone Consumer Protection act protects businesses and consumers from. From intrusive telemarketing by prohibiting unsolicited fax advertisements to telephone facsimile machines. Now, of course, this is absent the opt out notice informing recipients that they can choose to not receive future faxes. The act, of course, as we all know, provides a private right of action with a statutory minimum damages of 500 per violation.
Glenn Beck
Wait, wait, wait, wait. I did. I slipped through a time tunnel. Are we in 1995 all of a sudden? This is a current Supreme Court decision just came down. Okay.
Unknown Speaker
As we know, McKesson Corporation sent unsolicited fax advertisements through a subsidiary in 2009 and 2010. And this was of course to Medic. McLaughlin Chiropractic Associates. And at issue here, Glenn, was the determination whether does an unsolicited fax advertisement coming in. Can you block those just from analog fax machines or does it also apply to digital facsimile services? And we now have a ruling on this, not whether that would be appropriate or not, but what agency would oversee if that was appropriate or not.
And we.
Now, I'm sorry, do you need. Do you have a specific question you wanted to address here?
Glenn Beck
Yeah, I do. I. I Don't think I've seen a fax machine since, like, 2001. So I. I didn't realize this was as urgent for the Supreme Court. I didn't know. Has this been just getting to this now? Backlog? Is this a backlog case that was filed in, like, 1993 and they're just getting to it? I.
Unknown Speaker
When I was running for the Supreme Court, it did appear that I went through a wormhole where fax machines were relevant. And I don't know if that's affecting my reporting here today.
Glenn Beck
Right.
Unknown Speaker
But this is an actual Supreme Court ruling that just came out today in 2025.
Glenn Beck
Well, it's good that you're reporting it on a landline.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, that's true.
Glenn Beck
I am.
Unknown Speaker
By the way, Glenn, just to let you know, if you're looking to send any unsolicited fax advertisements, you're still okay to do that. For the moment, we don't have a ruling from a lower court that is going to say whether digital fax machines are included in this and whether.
Glenn Beck
So wait, so wait, Supreme Court wanted to send it back to a lower court, so they deferred making a decision on this one?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. To be clear, Glenn, we still don't know if you will be able to send digital faxes to people when they are unsolicited.
Glenn Beck
That we don't know.
Unknown Speaker
That's in the Future, Glenn. In 2037, we expect to have another.
Glenn Beck
Ruling.
Unknown Speaker
Teach us as to whether we can send fax machine messages digitally. We just don't know at this time.
Glenn Beck
Somebody is sitting down at their kitchen table tonight with their family and like, I won that fax machine thing today. That argument that I put in front of the Supreme Court. I won it. I did. I mean, I just took them out. I sent it to a lower court. They couldn't even decide. They were like, I don't know. He had such a good case on fax machines, I had to send it to a lower court. Do we know where John Roberts came down on this? Yes.
Stu Burguiere
Glad.
Unknown Speaker
This was a, I believe a 7:2 decision. Kagan, with the dissent. I know if you want, I can read the entire thing. Let me start.
Glenn Beck
No, no, I. I think we're good. I don't think we needed to hear.
Unknown Speaker
Either side on that one.
Glenn Beck
Thank you.
Unknown Speaker
Six, three.
Glenn Beck
Glenn.
Unknown Speaker
I'm sorry. Kagan Sotomayor and Justice Tanji Brown Jackson, who probably was born after fax machines were extinct on that side of the rule.
Glenn Beck
Thank you. Thank you very much, Stu. I appreciate it. Glad we got that in forget about that Iranian thing. We still don't really know digital advertising on fax machines, but we'll keep following this story no matter how long it takes to get to the bottom of it. All right, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. It is, you know, it is really hard to consider yourself on the winning side of the culture war if you're funding the other side the whole time.

They donate to leftist political groups, they support causes that undermine your values, and they're using your money to do it all the time. It's time to send them a message. I'm done. Patriot Mobile is America's only conservative wireless provider and they use the same cell towers as the big guys. So your coverage is excellent. But unlike the others, they donate a portion of every dollar to pro life causes, religious liberty and veterans programs. They believe in free speech, faith, family, country. And when you switch to Patriot Mobile, you're not just getting a phone plan, you're sending a message. One that says, I'm done paying people to destroy the world. I'm trying to save.

Glenn Beck
I am. I can tell you I have to apologize and correct a horrible, horrible, horrible reporting job. I have to expose Stu for when he was giving us that the facts with a CTS about the facts with an X, he left out the actual facts with a cts. And I'm sorry, Stu, but this is unacceptable. You apparently were just. You didn't. You failed to mention how important fax machines are.
Stu Burguiere
I mean, and that is actually true. They're very widely used apparently still in our medical field and the government. But it was, it was an unnecessary detail.
Glenn Beck
You failed to mention that it's actually more secure than email.
Stu Burguiere
I, I did fail to mention that.
Glenn Beck
Because nobody else uses that. But what.
Stu Burguiere
I did fail to mention that intentionally. Yes.
Glenn Beck
And why did you do that, Stu? Why did you feel it was necessary to leave out those CTS facts?
Stu Burguiere
Felt like it might ruin the bit if I just went into the actual facts on the.
Glenn Beck
So comedy was more important to you than the actual ruling and the import of this rule. Ruling. Wow. Well, can I tell you something? I apologize for Stu to this audience and I'm going to show you, and I don't ever usually do this, but I'm going to show you how deeply this bothers me when somebody does something like this. Stu, you're suspended for the next two days. You finish out today's show and then get your stuff and you're not back in that building for two days. Okay, I'll see you here. I am positive.
Stu Burguiere
Are you sure you don't need three or four days?
Glenn Beck
No, two days. It's a very hard, fast rule. With me. It's a two day suspension on Fridays.
Stu Burguiere
Well, as long as.
Glenn Beck
Darn it.
Stu Burguiere
First of all, I will say this audience knows more about that actual facts case than anyone else in America that was not involved in it. So right there we've already advanced, I believe the reporting in a positive direction and I am fine with your suspension. Assuming you will at least acknowledge I was calling in from the Supreme Court as Long as you will acknowledge that fact.
Glenn Beck
Oh, my gosh. You weren't even doing that. But you were on a landline, which is very hard to find right now.
Stu Burguiere
Yes. So I am on the last landline connected to the last analog fax machine. That all happened.
Glenn Beck
I don't want to see you here Saturday or Sunday, I'll tell you that right now. You step on that property and I'm going to have you escorted. Well, I won't be here either. And I'm. But I'm not suspended. I'm the suspender. You're the suspendee. And you're suspended, by the way. An hour or so, maybe a couple hours. If I could get out of that.
Stu Burguiere
Building, if I could just throw in that it actually is a really positive ruling and that it's no more deference to federal agencies. So it actually is a good ruling after all of that. It's a positive.
Glenn Beck
I feel like I've been lied to. No, it's true. I feel like I'm in a Lifetime movie. I'm rocking back and forth in a shower and I can't get clean. What else, what else are you going to do to violate me? My gosh. See you Monday.
Unknown Speaker
This is Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck

Fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.
Glenn Beck
You know. Well, isn't it strange that there was that shooting in Minneapolis and then we all Got. We all started dog piling on each other, you know, Then it was like, you know what? I don't like Tucker Carlson and I don't like Ted Cruz and we're all just starting to beat each other up. And I'm just wondering, just saying, I'm just wondering if there's some method to that madness that maybe is coming from overseas because we didn't really talk at all about the guy who just shot the, the representative in Minneapolis. Who is this guy? Did you hear earlier this week we found out that looks like his cell phone traveled not, not with him, of course, just how many times yours. My cell phone sometimes will just say, I'm taking a vacation, vacation, you know, I'm going to go to a hostile country by myself. I'm sick of you. And so it'll just travel by itself all over the world. But apparently that happened. We found out some more information on that. And then also, I just want to point out that his wife had been stopped about 85 miles away from the murder. And when they stopped her, she had passports, cash, ammunition, all kinds of stuff in the car. Now my wife generally, I mean, she'll have ammunition and a gun in the car, but she doesn't generally, you know, have wads of cash in the car and, and multiple passports. Maybe, maybe that's just my wife. You know, I was gonna say maybe that's just like Mrs. Obama, but she doesn't like to be called Mrs. Obama anymore because that person puts her in a tough position. Oh, okay. Anyway, we're gonna get into this here in just a second. We have Joe Hanneman on. He is a Blaze News investigative reporter and he says, check this out. There's some strange things going on here and he's going to point them out to us in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about the burner launcher. When it comes to self defense, most people think only in extremes. They think, you know, it's either do nothing or use deadly force. But life is rarely that simple. And that's why the burner launcher exists for the situations where you need to protect yourself without crossing a line you can't uncross. The Burna feels and looks just like a handgun, but it's non lethal. It fires pepper rounds, kinetic impact rounds or a combination. It's designed to disable an attacker long enough for you to escape. Escape and call for help. So, or very least at least stop a threat without a lifetime of consequences. There's no permits required, no background checks. Also, there's no waiting period. So when you get it, I mean, you know, you're, you're missing a few things when you don't have a burner launcher. And those few things are options. Get your burner launcher right now. Burna.com use their retail store locator to find the nearest location offering lots of demonstrations including select Sportsman's Warehouse stores, Byrna retail stores and authorized premium dealers. It's Byrna. B R n a.com Joe, welcome to the program. How are you?
Joe Hanneman
Thanks for having me, Glenn.
Glenn Beck
You bet. It's great to have you. I mean you used to work for the Epic Times and you guys just, I think you tear it up over there. I think really some good reporting over there. And you also co wrote and appeared in three January six related documentaries and you told the real story there. And you also wrote for the Wisconsin State Journal and the Chicago Tribune. So it's nice to have you on board at the Blaze. Let me ask you, Joe, what, what do you find creepy or suspicious about this, this guy, this guy that nobody's paying attention to that just, you know, tried to kill a bunch of people and did kill some in, you know, along with the, the no Kings movement?
Joe Hanneman
Well, the more we learn about him, the less this entire thing makes sense. I mean, he has a very unusual backstory. He worked a lot in the food industry, companies like Del Monte and Gerber in production, you know, safety, supervising the plants and keeping everything clean and safe. And he's probably moved around the country at least a dozen times in the past 20 years with his jobs. But he also has a background as a preacher, which we're just finding out a little bit more about that. I have a story out this morning about that, that he has traveled around the world, at least in part as a preacher, a Christian preacher who was, had studied at an institute there in Dallas and he's been to Africa. He's talked about going to the Middle east and he in the west bank and Gaza and talked about going there to be basically a missionary to radical Islamists and to tell them him, as he put it on one of his websites, that violence isn't the answer. Now that's an interesting, interesting thing for him to say. I talked to Robert Spencer from Jihad Watch and he said if he actually did that, he's fortunate to be alive because typically if you proselytize, that's a death sentence in Islam. So you know, he said if he actually did that, he would have been killed or taken hostage unless they saw him, as he put it, unless they saw him as a fool. And they just cut him a break and left him alone. But he's also preached in the Democratic Republic of the Congo several times in an evangelical Christian church there. And we came across some very interesting video of him talking about his story of his awakening to Christianity. But he was so excited about talking about Christ. He put his arms out almost like a bird and was flying around the stage saying, you know what Jesus has done for me, and whoo hoo. It's. It's not what you'd expect.
Glenn Beck
Okay. I mean, we have the Del Monte guy going around then, preaching around the world and preaching the opposite things he seemed to have. Did he become mentally ill? And then before we get to that question, when did he become involved in politics with Tim Walls and everything else?
Joe Hanneman
Well, he was appointed to a governor's Workforce development council, first by Governor Mark Dayton, who was a Democrat, and then Tim Walz. Of course, we all know Tim Walls. He appointed him to a similar group and he spent about nine years on these boards. These are advisory councils that typically.
Glenn Beck
When was this when he was a preacher or when he was with, you know, Del Monte?
Joe Hanneman
Well, you know, actually some of this stuff overlapped and it was all going on at the same time. And he's got other ventures that were going on. This guy is, is, is really a puzzle. But he did get appointed to these two commissions by Democratic governors. And, you know, so we've looked around to try to find out if there is, aside from that, if there are any indicators that this was a political man. We know he was pro life. He was. He was opposed to abortion. He spoke about that. But we did not find any indication of political donations, either federally, state or local, that he gave donations to any political party or candidate. The newspaper in Oklahoma City claims that he was a registered Republican when he lived in Muldrow, Oklahoma. But the voting system folks out there say they don't keep records back that far anymore. So in the article, did not state where they got the information. They didn't link to any proof of it. So that seems fairly soft. So we just don't have a lot to go on outside of this wild backstory with all these different jobs. You know, he ostensibly ran a security company called Praetorian Guard Security Services. And he had several vehicles that were kitted out as squad cars. Basically. You'd see these in different cities, you know, Pinkertons and other security companies. So he had several of those. And, you know, he undoubtedly where he got his equipment that he was wearing the night that he committed these shootings and he was dressed up as a police officer, but creepy mask.
Glenn Beck
Okay, so, so hang on, I mean, I'm just. So we don't know if this guy had a political agenda one way or another on. I mean, he seemed to attack the Democrat that was the one that was bucking the extreme, you know, left of her party. Is there, is there any rhyme or reason of, or pattern on the people that were on his kill list?
Joe Hanneman
Well, you know, that's, that's one of the only tells that we have is that he kept both in the vehicle that he was driving that night and in, in a room that he rented for his job, they found notebooks, handwritten notebooks. And in his car there was a, what, what the FBI concluded was a hit list. And there were more than 50 names on it. And as far as I can tell, I haven't finished checking every single one of them, but that these were all Democrats, not just Minnesota politicians, but also in Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. And he had lists of Planned Parenthood locations and officials in Minnesota on this list. And of course the list did include Alyssa Hortman, the former House speaker who was assassinated along with her husband and the family dog. So you know, that list was very lopsided. And we know, we don't know.
Glenn Beck
Do we know if any of those Democrats have anything in common? Are they hard left? Are they maybe mealy mouthed, you know, people that are, I don't know. I mean, she seemed to be somebody who was bucking the system that the Democrats would want. So it's not like this was a hardcore lefty. This seems like somebody who actually had a conscience is trying to do something that they really believed in. So why was she on the list? Or can you tell? Have you looked at the politicians names to be able to see any pattern on voting patterns or anything?
Joe Hanneman
Well, in her case, and this got almost no attention in the corporate press within the past two weeks before her death, there was a key vote in the legislature in Minnesota that would strip the subsidized health care for adult illegal aliens. And that was a very close vote. And it turns out she was the deciding vote and the only one to cross party lines to put that legislation over the top. And so that, you know, that certainly didn't endear her to the left because that's a kind of a sacred cow. And so come January 1st next year, adult illegal aliens will no longer have access to the subsidized or free health care. So that was a big vote. And that's something you Certainly have to put into the equation here and see if, if that provides any sort of, any sort of motive. But he didn't, he really didn't have any visible interest in state politics that, that we can see. So, you know, there's lots of intrigue. But, you know, he hasn't made statements to people that, you know, so, and so I just, I just can't stand this person or, or on, on the other side, you know, whether he was his, his childhood friend claimed that he was a Trump voter. But, you know, we, we don't have any, Minnesota is an open primary state, so there's no records that we could check on that. It's just a lot of soft information and it, it, I have a feeling that when this is all said and done, his story and the explanation is going to go a lot deeper.
Glenn Beck
Okay, hold on just a second because I've got a couple of questions. Why did Tim Walsh, you know, know this was a political assassination immediately? You know, the, the phone now that said has been traced to several foreign countries. Is that because of the preaching thing? His wife arrested with several passports and I mean, I don't understand any of this. So we'll get to that here in just a second. We're talking to Joe Hanneman. He is a Blaze News investigative reporter. Just wrote another story on this today. You can find it@theblaze.com Let me tell you, our sponsor this half hour. And then one minute back and right into Joe. When your dog isn't living his best, the best, healthiest life, it's not like he can tell you he just slows down. He eats less, he sleeps more, he moves differently. And you start to wonder, is this just what happens when dogs get older or is something missing? Well, this is why rough greens exist. It's a nutritional supplement that you add to your dog's existing food, not to change what they eat, but to upgrade what they get out of it. Rough greens is loaded with vitamins, probiotics, minerals, digestive enzymes, all the good stuff, the live stuff that most kibble leaves out. And for a lot of dogs, the difference is noticeable. More energy, better digestion, improve mobility, even a shinier coat. I've seen it in countless testimonials from people who love their dogs enough to make just one simple change. And I've seen the difference it can make when I've given it to my dog. The added years that I believe Uno got and the happy years that Uno got because of rough greens, sincerely call them at 214-ROUGH-GOG Ruff Dog 214 Rough Dog or go to rough greens.com just use a discount code code beck ruffgreens.com discount code beck or call 214 Roughdog Rough Greens for healthy change for your changing dog. 10 seconds. Station ID. Okay, so when this happened, we're talking about the Minnesota shooting when this happened, Tim Walsh comes out seemingly almost immediately, at least that's the way it felt. And said, you know, this is a political assassination. Was this just speculation or wishful thinking? What is it? How did he know that?
Joe Hanneman
That's a great question and nobody asked him that to say, hey, what leads you to the conclusion that this was a politically connected assassination? It clearly was targeted. I mean he selected his victims or potential victims for that night. But you would think that you would have some intel and nothing that was ever shared to say, yeah, this is why we know, this is why in fact the FBI and the local police will not ascribe a motive even after looking at all of his notebooks, which they haven't released all the pages of them, but they did release the hit list. But I found that to be very telling that he would describe it in that manner. And I think that set off some of the back and forth between the right and the left on the finger pointing on this right.
Glenn Beck
And then the police knew somehow to go to the second location in advance of the shootings. How did they do that?
Joe Hanneman
Well, these communities are all fairly close together. And after Senator Hoffman was shot and his wife was shot at about 2am on the 14th, that word was circulated to all the area departments and several of them did proactive policing and sent squads out to check on some of their lawmakers and in one day.
Glenn Beck
But they didn't stop him, did they? At the second location?
Joe Hanneman
No, the second location, the family had changed their plans and they were gone. So they were not even home. It was the third location where this fella was parked in his fake squad car about a block away from a state senators home. And the local police New Hope Police Department squad pulled up next to him and tried to get his attention. Of course he's got this creepy looking milky white mask over his head and he just stared straight ahead. And the officer apparently was satisfied by the look of the vehicle that all this must be, this must be an officer from some jurisdiction here watching out for the house. So that officer continued on to the state senators home and waited for some backup. And by the time other squads arrived, he was gone. He took off and he went to the Hortman Home where he murdered the former speaker, her husband and the family dog. So he certainly could have been stopped if there had been maybe a little more inquisitiveness. You know, shine the flashlight in there or knock on the window saying hey, hey. But they didn't do that.
Glenn Beck
And then, okay, so I've only got, I've only got two minutes left. So you pick which one has more information in it. The phone being traced to so many foreign countries or his wife being stopped with cash and passports and everything else in her car. Do either of those make a difference to this story?
Joe Hanneman
Well, I think there is an explanation for the wife. You know, he had texted, did a group text to all of his family or children and his wife in which he said, dad went to war last night. And he said he didn't want to tell them much about that because he didn't want to implicate them in anything that he was doing. Then he, he texted his wife separately, called or texted his wife separately and said, there's going to be police coming to the house and they're going to be trigger happy and I don't want you to be there. So he advised her to take the kids, but she had $10,000 in cash, she had passports and she had the kids with her. Well, of course the police were tracking her phone and they pulled her over, you know, I think it was about 80 miles away. And she volunteered to let them look through her phone to look at the texts. But they found the weapon and the ammunition in the vehicle as well. So, you know, again, these things just make you pause.
Glenn Beck
I know. Joe, thank you so much. Really great to have you riding for the Blaze. We'll continue to talk to you about this and follow this story because it is absolutely bizarre. Appreciate it. Thank you. Have a good weekend. You bet.

I don't know what you have planned for this weekend, but I, but I'm gonna be out protesting. They arrested 75 or, sorry, 76 illegals, including trendy AGRA members in Fort Worth. And I gotta tell you, I'm, I'm a little upset about it. I was just, I mean it was so what, they're in a gang. I mean, you know, our gang. Did you ever watch that with little Banky? What's the difference? So here's cut four. This is from Fort Worth. Areas of Fort Worth with high crime.
Stu Burguiere
Rates were targeted in a two month initiative called Operation Showdown.
Unknown Speaker
76 people were arrested on firearm and drug crimes.
Glenn Beck
Many of the individuals arrested in this operation are convicted violent felons. Others are in our country illegally and have suspected ties to the Venezuelan transnational criminal organization Trend, also known as tda. Yeah, known as TDA for people like me who can't pronounce it. Anyway, I, you know, why are they just persecuting these poor people that are just coming in and they're, you know, they're bringing their gang as they're like, hey, I just want to melt into the society, you know, I'm going to bring the best from my country, tda. I'm going to melt into this one and then I might kill some people, etc. Etc. But I don't understand, you know, this.
Stu Burguiere
This is where I think Trump got it wrong. I mean, he was saying that they're sending us their worst. These are their best criminals. They're fantastic at it.
Glenn Beck
No, they are, they're really, really good.
Stu Burguiere
Gang members and, and glad they're here.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, me too, me too. Now let me take you to Oregon, to the Capitol where the House of Representatives on the floor of the House of Representatives in the Oregon capital did a circus drag show. Here it is, cut five.
Stu Burguiere
What the hell is this?
Glenn Beck
What are you talking about? It's just these two guys dressed as women, you know, one without a shirt on, apparently, and just dancing with blue hair.
Stu Burguiere
What the hell is happening.
Glenn Beck
At the.
Stu Burguiere
Oregon Capitol in front of the House of Representatives? It's like that typical C SPAN segment with the ridiculous drag show going on and they're not doing anything except dancing to seemingly pre recorded music.
Glenn Beck
Yeah.
Stu Burguiere
Wow. What a skill that is. What a skill.
Glenn Beck
What I love is just all the guys that are just sitting there. I mean, look at that. They're just sitting there. Most of them aren't even looking. They're just like sitting in their seats at the capitol, like, okay, Mr. Speaker, can we get back to some business here?
Stu Burguiere
They're all in that weird. I remember when Oprah had a show and there would be a musical performer and then they would feel the need to show Oprah dancing along. And it was super awkward because there's. Obviously, that's just not what you do when you're sitting individually in a seat seat. She's like trying to act like she's into it. She never knew the words. That's kind of what it looks like. They're all kind of just sitting out there awkwardly trying to decipher what the appropriate reaction is to this. By the way, the answer is to walk out.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, that's a good one.
Stu Burguiere
That's a good one.
Glenn Beck
You get up and walk out, but you're living in Oregon, so, you know, you might walk out and be stoned to death, but probably should have walked out on that one. I just, I wonder, you know, Oregon, what. What are your elected officials doing? I mean, if you want to go to a drag show, that's fine, but why in the middle of the workday in the state House of Representatives, I. Was this a lead up to I like silky blue hair votes or what is this?
Stu Burguiere
It's a great question. Where do you think we are in this? I was talking to Steve Dace yesterday on his show and we were talking about where are we in this situation with the woke Trans, you know, LGBTQIA2 + thing? Are we. Is it still advancing the way that it was before? Is it. Have we turned it back? Are we, you know, at a standoff? Where do you think we are?
Glenn Beck
I think we're. I think we're turning it back and it's. It's going to implode on itself soon. I Mean, listen to this.
Stu Burguiere
That's pretty obvious.
Glenn Beck
New York Times. Under new leader Ken Martin, the Democratic National Committee has been plagued by infighting and a drop in donation, raising alarms from Democrats as they try to win back power. Just moments into the tenure of the new party leader, Kevin Martin, the Democratic National Committee's finance situation has grown so bleak that top officials have discussed whether they might need to borrow money this year to keep paying bills. Why? Why do you think that's happening? Why do you think that's happening? I'll tell you. I'll tell you why that's happening. I mean, same reason it's happening. New York City Pride Parade. Parade loses corporate sponsors. Why? Why? You can blame him on the economy, but that's not what's happening. You have. You have this Jasmine Crockett yesterday. We've got a mental health crisis in this country because everybody, no matter how you affiliate yourself, should be against Donald Trump. Wait, wait. That's the mental health problem, right?
Stu Burguiere
I was going to show you the.
Glenn Beck
Footage of Oregon again in the state House.
Stu Burguiere
I would say the fact that Jasmine Crockett got elected shows she correct. We have a mental health problem in this country. There's a huge article today, Glenn, on this, just to back you up on this in the New York Times as well. We've reached Rainbow Capitalism's end, and it's from a LGBTQIA2 + activist who talks about how all these parades are losing money. They're all hundreds of thousands of dollars in the hole because these companies are not coming out and supporting them. They say, this is interesting. Bark box. You know Barkbox?
Glenn Beck
No. Proud to say, no, you don't.
Stu Burguiere
It's like a subscription box where they send your dogs like treats and toys every month.
Glenn Beck
No.
Stu Burguiere
Just so you know, if you have a wife and a pet, you're probably subscribed to it. But they sent an internal message in early June where they said, quote, we've made the decision to pause all paid ads and lifecycle marketing pushes for the Pride kit available immediately. We need to. Excuse me. Effective immediately. We need to acknowledge that the current climate makes this promotion feel more like a political statement than a universally joyful moment for all dog people. Now, I don't know if dog people means the people who own dogs or people who identify as dogs. I could honestly go either way on that one, but I thought it's interesting.
Glenn Beck
Rough call. Rough call.
Stu Burguiere
A lot of this is, these are just capitalist decisions, right? They're not decisions saying, hey, we agree that mutilating your child is a Bad idea. It's just capitalism kind of people saying, wait a minute, they don't believe that. So we don't want to push it. We don't want to be known as the dog treat company that stands for pride. We just want to be the dog treat company that everybody likes.
Glenn Beck
That is surprise.
Stu Burguiere
I think that's good. It's a good move. It's not necessarily a lasting trend though, because.
Glenn Beck
No, it's reversing. You're always going to have people that just go where the, where the popular, you know, movement is, where they can make a buck. Yeah, okay. You're always going to have that, you know, but I, I hope that some people have learned their lesson that, you know, stop it. But, but here's the real problem. The real problem is, is that you're not having a massive movement. They'd be, they'd be. The coffers would be empty if it wasn't for government graft and insider, you know, trading, if you will, our tax dollars for their power. The, the sad thing is, is that this pact was made during Occupy Wall Street. I'm absolutely convinced of it. Occupy Wall street, it just didn't disappear or fade out. Wait, a year after Occupy Wall street, the leader of Occupy Wall street is an honored guest at the wef, which is nothing but politicians and giant corporations. And he's like, you know, we found out we're real allies. It happened because all of these fringe groups that were cobbling together their power with Occupy Wall street, all of the big corporations, all of the big businesses, all of Wall street, they all got together and said, you know what? Leave us alone. We'll help fund your crazy things that we really believe in. We'll fund all of these things. Just leave us alone. And it was right after Occupy Wall street that all of these corporations that were just being pounded in the streets, all of a sudden, they're good guys to all the Occupy Wall street people, to all the leftists. They're all fine with those guys then. And what do we see? We see them starting to just pour money into the coffers of, of all of these left wing groups. Blm. Everybody did it. That's all that was. You know, but the American people see that, but they also see crazy things. Wednesday, Maxwell Frost, he's a Florida congressman. He suggested granting citizenship to every illegal alien in the country. Because if Republicans don't want illegal aliens in America, the fix is simple. We just make them legal. Uh, okay. We're an immigrant filled community. We're a community filled with People. And yes, people are gonna have different statuses. And I want my Republican colleagues that say, I don't want any undocumented people in this country. I actually agree with you. So let's document everybody. That's how we fix this problem. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Really? Honestly, the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Is that in line with the American people. No. Especially when New York City. Sorry, New York U.S. attorney in New York was. Was walking in the street. He had just left his office. He's strolling by a Hilton hotel. Suddenly, he spots a man behaving suspiciously. He says, I have my eye on him. I turn back, and I'm in front of the Hilton. And I'm just standing there, and I'm looking at him, and he starts yelling at me in language that I don't understand. Then he pulls out a knife and lunges at me. Now they know who this guy is. He's an illegal alien. And they think this illegal alien knew exactly who this guy was. Well, they didn't kill him like they killed the. The. The insurance. The medical insurance CEO. So they don't have a hero here. But this guy's being shipped out. But, you know, here it is again. The. The Uber. Uber left. That is empowering all of this stuff. There's a vial, viral video, video that was out for ice, a detainee. And everybody's like, he was a dad, and his wife was about to have, you know, a baby, and they just scoop him up in the middle of the night. Look at how bad this is. Well, yeah, I mean, the problem is, you know, he was in a gang. He was convicted of murder, attempted murder, sentenced to 82 years in prison. He served 14 years, but he was married to a U.S. citizen, but notified by ICE that he had to report for deportation on June 12th. So he was, you know, gee, I mean, it was just a murderer. It was just a murderer. That's it. Meanwhile, the ICE facility in Portland under daily siege by antifa militants and riots as they spread. You're seeing now 400 threats coming in to members of the ICE over and over and over and over again. Uh, and nobody's doing anything. I mean, they. There's a 500% increase in assaults, not just threats. 500% increase in assaults while trying to arrest illegals. Okay. All right. This is not gonna. This is not what the American people want. This is not who the American people are. It's not. It's not. And I am absolutely convinced that there's Something else also going on here. And that something else is that I don't know who it is. China, Iran, Russia, any of our enemies, any of our enemies. We have enough of them. They are stirring things up. I mean, is it a coincidence that last two weeks it was all about the violence and everything else about the left, and then there are no kings, protest goes off and then all of a sudden this week we're turning on each other. Everybody on the right is turning on each other. Is that just a coincidence really? Or are we being molded and shaped? Are we being pushed by foreign adversaries and adversaries here in the United States that want to see us turn on each other? We can't do it. Pay attention to what's really important because most of this stuff is not important. But pay attention to what's really important. If somebody's trying to split you up from people that you already trust, don't listen to them. I don't care what they say they are or who they say they are. They are not a friend of the Republic. All right, back in just a second. Let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust there are a few things in life more stressful than buying or selling a home. And I'm saying that as a person who's experienced it lots of times. With my career, I moved a ton. And if you've ever worked with a bad real estate agent, somebody who really doesn't return calls, misprices your home, or barely sees, seems to know the market, you know exactly how quickly a bad decision can turn into a huge mistake. And I've seen it over and over again. Real estate agents I trust is built to solve that. We connect you now with vetted, proven, high performing agents in your area who are people who share your values and your principles. They understand your goal, they listen and they know how to get the job done. We don't just pick someone off a list. We dig deeper into their track record, their experience, their character.
