Alex Jones and Sen. Mike Lee scrutinize Joe Biden's alleged $6 million mortgage strategy, questioning the financial logic behind taking out 35 loans despite a reported $10 million net worth. They debate potential Trump VP picks like Marco Rubio and JD Vance while addressing InfoWars' impending $1.5 billion bankruptcy liquidation. The episode culminates in a fierce argument against the NDAA's proposal to draft women, framing it as a radical egalitarian threat to military survival and civil liberties that prioritizes state coercion over biological combat realities.

So, Stu, you're, you know, you like to play around with money and, you know, look for different ways of, you know, financing and everything else.
See if this makes any sense to you.
Joe Biden and First Lady Jill have been using their home as an ATM, taking out multiple mortgages and refinancing their Delaware property an astonishing 35 times.
The president has lived in two houses in his home state since 1975 when he bought his first property in Wilmington that he later sold in the 1990s.
But records obtained by DailyMail.com show the couple have had a habit of negotiating a new mortgage or credit deal on both homes every 17 months.
Over the decades, the Bidens have borrowed a total sum of $6 million on both properties.
There's still an outstanding $541,000 mortgage on their current three-bedroom, four and a half-bath Wilmington mansion, nearly 30 years after they bought it.
The constant refinancing raises the question of why?
Why the Bidens, who have a reported net worth of $10 million, need a constant flow of extra cash?
It doesn't make a lot of sense, says financial experts, unless they're desperate for cash.
The revelation comes as questions grow about the president's involvement with his son Hunter's shady business dealings.
According to the mortgage documents, the president first lady purchased their current four-acre lot for $350,000 in 1996, but have since saddled it with 20 different home credit agreements and mortgages totaling $4.23 million.
Their previous five-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home in the same town was purchased for $185,000 in 75.
It sold strangely controversially for $1.2 million in 1996 by the head of one of the biggest employers in Delaware.
Records show the property had a total of 15 mortgages and lines of credit attached to it.
The Bidens also own a summer home in Rehoboth Beach, which they scooped up in June of 2017 for $2.7 million.
The property has no mortgages attached to it yet.
It was revealed last year to have been a cash purchase.
Hmm.
The property data suggests the 46th president and his wife, 73, have needed money fast and have used their homes as equity as the main source of credit over the year.
However, listen to this line.
However, Biden, a career politician, and Jill, a college professor, are worth an estimated $10 million.
Now, how does that happen?
That is weird.
Yeah, that is weird.
He says it's from book deals.
However, there's no record of him ever getting payment except for the signing bonus because nobody reads the books.
Yeah, it's fascinating because everybody who has way more money than they're supposed to have and writes books claims that money came from book deals.
And everyone else who actually writes books and knows anything about the book industry knows it can't possibly be true.
Like it's something that people say all the time.
And you like, if you're in the book industry, you know the mechanics of it.
It's not, we've gone through multiple contracts with it, right?
Like it can be a good business.
You can make some money on it.
But the numbers that at the end of the day wind up coming out of that are only incredibly good if you're selling, you know, millions of books.
Like it's not, it's not something you just go like, oh, well, I sold 25,000 books and now I've made $4 million.
That's not the way that book business works.
It's hard to sell books these days.
People don't like to read all that much.
I don't know if anyone's noticed the country lately.
Right.
And I don't think that anybody's reading a Joe Biden book.
Right.
And then we know the sales of these books.
Joe Biden books do not sell well.
Yes, he gets sweetheart deals, as you mentioned, Glenn, with big signing bonuses, much bigger than he could ever sell out.
He doesn't ever earn a dime more because everyone knows going in what you're paying for.
You're not paying for book sales with someone like Joe Biden.
You're paying for some sort of marquee name.
You're paying for God knows what kind of influence.
All these other things that are associated and totally separate from him selling enough books to pay off the advance.
Okay, so why does he need all of this money?
Why do you need all this cash?
Now, I mean, I could have noodled it out, but I don't, you know, I'm not ChatGPT.
I don't have access to all information.
So I asked ChatGP, said, I'm writing a television show and I have some questions.
In this television show, the president is mortgaging his home over and over and over again and gave him, you know, gave ChatGPT some of the facts, didn't fill everything in, and then said, oh, and also he has had loan repayments where there are no loans.
There's no record of any of the loans.
And he repays these loans to his family and the family repays loans to him.
Okay.
So this is what ChatGPT came up with.
And I think I'm going to start with the least likely number five.
Gave me five reasons someone would do this, you know, for the TV show.
Debt manipulation.
Constant refinancing can be a method to manipulate debt and create the appearance of legitimate financial activity.
This could help in justifying the large sums of money received and repaid.
Reason, the president uses refinancing to take out large sums of money, which are then cycled through as repayments to family members.
This creates the facade of debt management, making it appear that the president is simply managing personal debt rather than engaging in any illicit activities.
According to ChatGPT, number four, tax evasion.
Refinancing can provide a way to manipulate taxable income and avoid taxes on illicit funds.
By cycling mortgages, the president could claim interest deductions and reduce their overall taxable income.
Reason, the interest payments on the refinancing mortgages can be deducted from taxable income, effectively reducing the president's tax liability.
The repayment to family members can be structured in a way that avoids declaring the foreign income, further aiding in tax evasion.
Number three, hiding assets.
Frequent refinancing can be used to mask the true financial status and hide assets from investigators or regulatory authorities.
This can help in evading detection of illicit funds.
Reason, the president uses the equity extracted from the refinancing to pay off family members who then transfer the funds back as loan repayments.
This cycle hides the actual wealth and the source of the funds, making it seem like the money is tied up in legitimate debt rather than illicit gains.
By the way, so far, nothing non-nefarious.
ChatGPT didn't come up with a single non-nefarious reason.
Two, creating a paper trail.
Mortgage cycling can create a complex financial paper trail that makes it difficult for investigators to track the true source and destination of money.
This can also help hide illegal financial activities.
Reason, by refinancing frequently, the president can create a maze of financial transactions that obscure the flow of money.
The complexity can make it harder for authorities to detect the link between the foreign payoffs and the repayments made to family members.
Number one.
This is ChatGPT's number one reason for having, you know, 17 mortgages and keep taking out large sums of money and remortgaging your house 17 times.
Frequent refinancing of mortgages can be a method to launder illicit funds.
By continually cycling mortgages, the president could introduce large amounts of cash into the financial system under the guise of legitimate loans, which are then repaid using money received from foreign payoffs.
Reason, the president receives large sums of money from foreign entities through family members.
To legitimize these funds, they are funneled into mortgage refinancing process.
The constant refinancing and the large checks written for loan repayments help disguise the origin of the funds, making them appear as legitimate financial transactions.
That's ChatGPT's opinion on why you might do what the Daily Telegraph has just revealed the Bidens do.
You know, if you asked it and put in Biden's name, it probably wouldn't give you any answer, right?
Like you have to write it in a way like I'm writing a movie script to get an answer on that.
And looking for legitimate reasons why you would do this.
Why would a character redo this or do this 17 times, 35 times overall, but on one house 17 times?
Why would that happen?
Well, that's what ChatGPT came up with.
Right.
And I mean, like, there are reasons to do it.
Like, I guess, you know, if you're as the rates are falling, right?
You might, you might renegotiate your mortgage.
Like, I, I redid my mortgage when rates were low, right?
You, I did it once.
Maybe you could even think potentially because they fell so far from when he started, maybe you do it even twice, right?
But like, you don't get to 35 with low interest rates.
No.
You don't get to 35 with an improving credit score.
You don't get to 30.
Like there are reasons you might do it more than once, but I mean, you don't get to 35.
Maybe what's interesting is like if you, let's say you're a person who has, you know, if you're Joe Biden, you have $10 million.
And let's say that's locked up in, you know, investments.
I don't know.
He says it's pension, book sales, and investments.
Right.
So like, you know, you don't, let's say you bought Nvidia stock and it's gone up a lot and you don't want to sell it and take the tax hit.
To access the money, you could take some of your equity out of your house to spend.
But the issue with that is you can't just keep doing it.
You have to pay it back each time, which means you have to have an influx of cash to keep paying off.
Yeah, he would pay them off.
He'd pay them off sometimes in months, sometimes in a year.
He'd take out a million dollar loan and then pay it off within the year.
Excuse me?
On a teacher's salary and a public servant.
I know.
And by the way, Glenn, I just want to point out the hypocrisy for a moment of a man who says he's got $10 million in investments and doesn't want to pay the taxes associated with the gains, right?
Like he's just avoiding the exact types of taxes he's proposing and trying to implement on everyone else and saying everyone else is skipping out on their taxes.
He's doing the exact same thing.
And that is the best case scenario here.
I know.
The real truth seems to fit precisely with what we suspect Joe Biden is doing with his family members when it comes to essentially allegedly laundering money through international sources.
That's why when these people in Washington, D.C. say they're going after the rich, they don't mean it.
They don't mean it.
They don't mean the really rich and connected rich.
They won't ever tax those people.
They mean you.
They mean the person that has just started a business and is starting to turn things around.
Those are the people that they're really after.
They will never go.
As Donald Trump said, look, you don't like the amount I pay in taxes, then change the laws.
Okay?
He knows rich people can play the games of avoiding taxes and they can shelter their money and everything else that helps them.
They can do the things that Joe Biden did in the best case scenario from ChatGPT.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.

Trump's German Blood Rhetoric00:14:53
There is so much we want to talk to you about today.
There's a whole show that Stu wanted to do today.
And without getting into specifics, he can't do it because we are now in constant litigation.
Remember when we said this legal warfare is coming to you?
We knew at the time that it was already coming for us.
And it's to the point to where we can almost not do a show.
We can't play things from campaigns.
We can't play things from speeches on the campaign trail, or we'll be sued.
And there is no free press.
If we can't take things that used to be public domain or used to be things that were of public interest and fair use, now there is no such thing as fair use.
Fair use used to be if you're talking about something and you want to just reference it and show it, you could show it.
Now, I understand like CNN owns the debate.
They paid for the debate.
They can charge whatever they want and they're charging $50,000 to play the debate with their logo on it.
And then you can have access to it for all time, et cetera, et cetera.
Well, I'm, you know, the Blaze and I'm not going to write a check for $50,000 to CNN.
You can go watch the debate and we'll give you the commentary.
However, when it's somebody on the campaign trail, this is completely different, always has been.
And things now are changing in social media where we can't play anything.
Anything.

All right.
You know, you look at what's happening in the world.
I was having a conversation with some people on the plane yesterday about what we talked about yesterday with Saudi Arabia being involved with September 11th and now this coming out.
And I asked, why do you think that's happening?
And maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.
Saudi Arabia just said that they were going to stop with the petro dollar.
They'll take any form of currency now.
That makes our dollar not the reserve currency quickly.
We're doing everything we can to collapse our economy, to collapse our dollar.
We are spending like crazy.
They're putting unelected people in power positions.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
We welcome Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed, the podcast that you can hear being recorded and going out live every day before this program airs Monday through Friday on the Blaze Radio Network or on Blaze TV.
But also you can get his Pat Gray Unleashed anywhere you find your podcast.
Welcome to the program, Mr. Pat Gray.
Thank you.
So good to be here, Glenn.
Yeah, it is, isn't it?
It is.
So the debates are happening on Thursday.
Should prove to be interesting.
There are a couple of things that will make it easier for Joe Biden.
There are going to be two commercial breaks.
Okay.
Campaign staff cannot interact with their candidate during breaks.
I'd like to see all of them, both of them, get a blood test myself to make sure there's no stimulants or anything else in their system.
No opening statements.
90 minutes will be the debate time.
Red lights will turn solid red when the time is expired, and the mics go down and muted during the program, except when it's their turn to speak.
Trump and Biden also have now agreed to stand at lecterns on stage.
Their positions on stage will be determined by a coin flip.
It was flipped and he took the right side, I think, did he not, Stu?
He took, I think, the right side of the stage.
Yes, which was right of your TV screen, essentially.
Yeah.
Depending on how you're looking at the left and right of the stage.
But yeah, he's going to be on the right side of your screen, which was a weird choice.
Like, why wouldn't you want the last word in a debate?
Like, it seems like a much more complicated.
That was the coin flip.
You got to choose either position on television, right or left, or last final comment.
I don't know.
I think I would have gone for the last comment myself.
Right?
Like, what's the advantage of being on the right?
Does he think the good side is going to, you know, the camera is going to catch his good side?
Like, what else?
He's got, you know, there's some mental trick.
Like, well, I'm on the right side and that means I'm not liberal or something.
Like, what is the, what is the thought process behind that decision?
Do you have any theories?
No, I have none.
I have none.
The president is now at Camp David for the week.
He is preparing for the debate.
The Trump campaign, according to the Babylon B, announced yesterday that the former president has been preparing for his upcoming debate with Joe Biden by visiting nursing homes and arguing with dementia patients.
George, you're wrong about lime jello.
Nobody likes it.
Nobody likes it.
It doesn't taste good.
Everybody's telling me that.
Everybody's telling me how much they hate it.
And you're telling them they should serve live jello every day.
Day one, I will ban lime jello.
Mexico will pay for it.
So he's just asking, you know, talking about the things that everybody who's in a psych ward might be talking about.
So you have that going for you.
And then you have it on CNN.
CNN yesterday cut off the press secretary for Donald Trump.
Here's what happened, cut two.
So it takes someone five minutes to Google Jake Tapper, Donald Trump to see that Jake Tapper has been talking about this interview if you're going to keep on talking about Adolf Hilter.
Ma'am, I'm going to stop.
I'm stating to attack my colleagues.
I would like to talk about Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who you work for.
Yes.
If you are here to speak on his behalf, I will do to have this conversation.
I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in the past.
Now, I'm sorry, guys, we're going to come back to the next step.
Caroline, thank you very much for your time.
You are welcome to come back at any point.
She is welcome to come back and speak about Donald Trump.
And Donald Trump will have equal time to Joe Biden when they both join us now at next early later this week in Atlanta for this debate.
Okay.
So they couldn't handle anybody saying about Joe, anything at all about Jake Tapper.
And all she was saying was, they've called him a Nazi over and over again.
How are we expecting this to be fair?
Multiple times he's compared him to Hitler.
Over and over again, he's done that.
He really.
It's not like we have any evidence of that, cut three.
But I do want to note in this 1990 Vanity Fair excerpt.
David, you and I are old enough to remember this.
Marie Brenner writes, Trump's first wife, Ivana Trump, told her lawyer, Michael Kennedy, that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches.
The dehumanizing rhetoric of Adolf Hitler is once again alive and well on a national political stage.
If you were to open up a copy of Hitler's Mein Kampf, you would find the Nazi leader describing the mixing of non-Germans with Germans as poisoning.
Donald Trump's language mirrors this directly.
It's not hyperbole.
That does very directly echo Adolf Hitler's language.
Jeez.
You know what's amazing is they used to go crazy when I would compare programs to the early programs of Germany and Nazi Germany.
I wasn't saying that Obama was Hitler.
I was saying he's setting up programs that lead to the same place or can lead to the, and they went nuts.
Now they're just over and over and over again calling this man Hitler.
Yeah, and like you can criticize your analysis on that, as many of the media did.
And you can criticize Jake Tapper's analysis as many on the right have done.
But what was never in doubt was that Glenn Beck was going to host a debate.
There's never a moment where that was, that might just happen.
Might just be where, I don't know, the Obama, you know, the, you know, I don't know, Romney-Obama debate, you know, is it going to be Glenn Beck going to be the moderator?
That would have been good, though.
That would have been good.
I would have freaking loved it.
And the audience, I think, would have loved it.
But I don't think it was ever really on the fringes of happening.
And I'll note, by the way, as well, she cuts off the interview because her colleagues are being criticized.
Well, what exactly is happening with Donald Trump?
Like, Donald Trump is a colleague of the spokesperson.
And they criticize Donald Trump all the time.
Like, does she have the power to end these interviews?
Like, it's so stupid.
But that's all part of this.
Obviously, part of the story here with CNN hosting this debate is whether they're going to do a good job or not with it.
Jake Tapper might do a great job.
We may wind up being like, wow, he actually was pretty good there.
It's happened before where we've had mainstream journalists who have done a decent job.
But like, part of this story, obviously, is his on-record criticism of Trump for multiple years.
That has to be part of the story.
Let me ask you this.
We've praised him many times, too.
We praise Jake Tapper all the time.
He was great during the state in particular.
But he went off the rails as soon as Trump came into office because he went crazy.
Yeah, he did.
He went crazy.
First of all, you can find in Mein Kampf the defiling of German blood, et cetera, et cetera.
You can find those things.
But what the press needs to do is look at words versus actions.
Donald Trump, the reason why the poisoning of the German blood was so bad was because he was also implementing policies in the German version of the AMA.
He was talking about those things and purifying the German blood.
And then he had the doctors and the scientists and everybody else through law purify the German blood.
Who is the one that's working with the AMA to do all kinds of new things?
I just read something today for Stu that's, you know, kind of a little bit, I read it to him because it was off topic on a different topic.
But I want to I want you to I want you to listen to this.
This is from a book from the 1970s.
It was written in France and then translated to English and nobody read it.
But this is what Hitler had the head of the German Medical Association write.
German doctors, we know this.
Those responsible for the situation are foreigners.
They're Jews.
We alone have led us this way.
They alone have led us this way.
They have been opposed to any German thinking in our organizations.
He goes on to talk about the value of the German blood.
And it's time to sweep aside those who do not wish to understand the signs of the times.
Does that sound familiar?
Sweep away those who are living in the old times.
Clean up the organizations.
Sweep aside all those who do not wish to understand the new way of thinking.
Now, is Donald Trump putting that out?
No.
But which president is implementing and saying things like that?
More importantly, which administration is actually acting on things of sweeping away all those that don't embrace the new way of thinking?
Which one?
So I'm going to talk about German blood or American blood being poisoned, but until you start to sweep away all those that don't embrace the new way of thinking, you're not Hitler.
You're not.
They're doing that on a number of fronts, though.
It's not just medically.
It's climate change-wise.
I mean, they've tried to make any opposition to man-caused climate change, any thought.
Sweep away.
Sweep it away.
Yep.
Sweep them away.
They don't understand the news.
There's no place for you.
Sweep them away.
Yeah, it's progress.
The Crooked Swastika of Progress00:06:37
Do you know why the Nazi symbol is crooked?
You know, the symbol, the Hindu symbol for peace is the swastika.
But it's square.
Hitler's swastika is turned at a slight angle.
Do you know why?
No.
To represent progress.
This was a sign that we are progressive in our thinking.
We're moving forward.
We're getting rid of all those dusty ideas of the past.
Wow.
Well, I mean, if you really want times, signs of the times, and you really want to look at which one is more in line with Hitler, you could argue on language one way or another, that spooky Joe Biden thing with the red behind him and for the first time the Marines behind him as he's giving a political speech talking about wiping away all these MAGA people.
You could compare and you could come up with comparisons maybe for both sides.
But when it comes to policies and policies that are actually being implemented, there's only one candidate that resembles Hitler.
Only one.
And I'm not even saying he's Hitler.
But what I am saying is they're on the same path in policies, and that's the Democrats.
Thank you, Pat.
I appreciate it.
Let me talk to you about American financing.

From number one best-selling author Glenn Beck and co-author Michaela G. Hedrick comes a tale with a chilling but timely discovery.
If our lives are filled with stories, then whomever controls our stories controls our lives.
Chasing Embers, Glenn Beck's first ever young adult fiction novel.
Coming July 23rd.
Available for pre-order now.
You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck.
Sit tight, boys and girls.
We'll be right back after these messages.
Welcome to the program.
Well, it is primary day, and it looks like the first member of the squad to be kicked out of the squad.
The mod squad, of course, looks like it could be Bowman.
Jamal Bowman, very vulnerable today.
He's in a primary against George Latimer in New York, and he would be the first squad member to ever lose a seat, which is kind of fascinating.
I mean, when you consider how terrible they are.
But Bowman is the type of person that makes AOC almost appear sane.
Like, that's how crazy he is.
And the fact that he might lose here is a big story.
A lot of people are focusing on money coming in from APAC and other groups who, well, who don't think that Jews should be murdered.
These crazy groups like that who don't support the raping of innocent Jewish women.
And DeCalville.
Well, those are only Jews, Stu.
Yeah, oh, yeah.
Those are only Jews.
So only the Jews are standing in his way.
If it wasn't for those damn Jews, then we wouldn't have a problem with all these Jews if it wasn't for all those Jews.
That is a fascinating one because it is, you know, you think in a heavily, in this type of district, like there's going to be no problem with a squad member holding on.
But Bowman's been so bad, so crazy.
He called the sexual crimes committed by Hamas on October 7th Israeli propaganda and has doubled, tripled, quadrupled down on this.
He did eventually back off on that one particular claim, but has been calling Israel a genocidal state and all this nonsense for a very long time.
He looks like the heavy underdog today, which is interesting.
A lot of people are focusing on the money, but like it looked like he was way behind before money started pouring into the district anyway.
So I think this is more about his, you know, his things he's saying, the things he's been doing.
They're going to try to blame.
What a surprise.
These people are going to try to blame Jewish money for the loss.
Who would have seen that one coming?
Maybe he'll go back to writing poetry, you know, like his famous poem about 9-11.
You remember that, don't you?
I know.
Planes used as missiles target twin towers.
30 minutes later, both buildings collapse onto themselves.
Allegedly, two other planes, Pentagon, Pennsylvania, hijacked by terrorists.
Minimal damage.

This is the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We're glad you're here.
We've got to talk about the election, some of the new polling numbers.
I know that Stu is hyper-focused on Jamal Bowman, who sadly, sadly may be the first squad member to lose his seat today.
Rubio's Political Gamble00:14:37
But that'll never stop him from losing his mind.
He can continue to do that every day.
He gets better and better, doesn't he?
We start in just 60 seconds first.
Every day when I get home from work, I take about 20 minutes or so to unwrap all the duct tape from around my head.
Some days I find my head, you know, just fine under all that tape.
Some days, well, I'm just glad to have some of the pieces in one place when it exploded because of all the things that the Democrats are doing to our country.
But the last thing I want to do is come home and then, you know, do things outside of work that deal with additional stressors.
For example, in the past, whenever I was trying to buy or sell a house, I didn't know how to interview a real estate agent.
I had no idea.
I didn't know how they did their job.
I didn't know what the best practices were.
And I made a real mess, real mess, especially on those days when I didn't bring the duct tape to the meeting with the real estate agent.
But anyway, got frustrated.
I started my own company.
We started working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.
And we got to know them.
I got to find out what are the best practices, what makes you better than other real estate agents.
And then we started looking for more of them.
Realestateagentsitrust.com, that's the company we started where we are just going to recommend those agents.
I think there's about 3,000 of them now, 2,000, 3,000 of them, all across the country.
If you're looking to buy or sell, you just go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
Tell us what you're trying to do and where, and we'll try to find the right agent.
If they're, you know, somebody that we've already vetted, we have somebody in your area, we'll pass them on.
I don't charge you a fee for that.
You just go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
That's realestateagentsitrust.com.
So can we talk about your glee with Jamal Bowman, Stu?
Can we?
I think it would be a good thing for the country if we didn't have a completely insane person in Congress.
Now, I'd have to be much more specific when describing that phenomenon, but Jamal Bowman would be a nice one to remove.
He is a great person.
Jamal's the guy who pulled the fire alarm in Congress and got away with it.
Which is the most likable moment of his entire run as a congressman.
I actually think that that's the time he looked best when he didn't know how to open a door and he tried to lie about it to stop a vote.
That was the best moment he's had since he's been elected.
He is legitimately an embarrassment to the country and has been since the day he took office.
And honestly, before that as well, we just didn't know about it at that point.
And he looks to be the heavy underdog.
Now, I am not 100% convinced he's going to lose just because I don't believe good things are possible.
But I will say, I mean, the market.
And I'm the little black rain cloud.
With this stuff, I'm just super pessimistic.
But, you know, if you look at the prediction markets, they are highly favoring.
Last time I saw it was like a 97% chance he loses today.
So when the markets are that certain, usually that's going to be the outcome.
And if you happen to think the opposite is going to happen, you can make a heck of a lot of money if you'd like to put your money at risk.
But he's going against George Latimer, who is, again, a progressive Democrat.
You're not going to like him when he's in office, but does appear to be a somewhat sane person and also does not necessarily advocate for all Jews to be murdered, which is a nice little change.
He's going to have some people who aren't in the pro-Hamas caucus.
Now, do we know that for a fact or is he just more subtle about it?
No, I think I'm pretty sure he actually thinks maybe before a ceasefire happens, the hostages should be returned.
Crazy ideas.
Wow, that is radical from a progressive Democrat.
Yeah, that is nuts.
Jamal Bowman, I would love to play the audio, but we can't because we're in constant litigation now.
But I'd love to play the audio to where he was talking about ending the war with Hamas and on Gazans.
And he said, I'll be damned.
And yes, you will be.
But I will not sit around while American tax dollars go to kill babies.
And I thought, is he suddenly also pro-choice or, I mean, pro-life?
Or is he still just talking about the babies in Gaza and not the millions that are killed every year all around the world from abortion?
Yeah, and one of the interesting features of Jamal Bowman is he's incredibly stupid and did not recognize the fact that he was outlining the central plank of the Democratic election efforts and vilifying them by saying that you don't want, I mean, there's no argument that is going to be made more frequently than one that we should be using taxpayer dollars to pay for killing babies.
It's actually the main platform of the Democratic Party at this point.
Right.
So the fact that he described it that way is really, really humorous.
But he also called Israel genocidal at the same time.
And they're just really bad at genocide if that's what they're attempting to do.
It doesn't make much sense, but nothing he says makes sense.
Right, right.
Now, when he says genocidal, was he talking about the abortion industry?
No.
No.
Because, I mean, that's millions dead.
I don't know if he knows that.
Like about a billion worldwide since the beginning of this.
But other than that, he's going to fight making it the largest genocidal act of all time.
He's going to fight super duper hard to maintain that genocide.
He wants that one to continue for all time.
And actually, I'm fascinated by this new tactic by Democrats.
This is going on.
I mean, Kamala Harris was doing this the other day, where they're now going to specific communities and they're like, they went to the Latino community.
And they said, you know, we want to make sure you have the rights to end the lives of children so there are fewer Latinos out there.
That's our promise to you.
Less Latinos available to live.
That is our promise.
We guarantee we're going to fight hard so that there are fewer African Americans and Latinos across the country vote for me.
What a pitch this is.
Now, we want you to know that all the leadership are white people with lots of money and higher education.
Many, yes.
But we're going to lead the march for less Latinos and less blacks because, you know, that's just who we are.
That's just who we are.
And if you would like to look at the policy prescriptions of the alt-right, you'll find these line up perfectly.
They actually are identical.
White supremacists support abortion too.
Why do you think so?
They also say they want more Latinos and African Americans to be aborted.
They're on the same page as you.
You sound identical when you make these speeches.
Congratulations.
You have quite a constituency there.
They're not taking advantage of that one yet, Glenn.
So let me switch subjects to Donald Trump and his vice presidential pick.
Apparently, and I'm still actually crossing my fingers that this is not what's actually happening.
Stop with this, please.
Can we stop?
Okay.
Every day, there is a new story about what Donald Trump is thinking about his VP.
none of these stories are real does it can anyone the he yesterday the story was that he already made the decision And today, the story is he's down to his final three.
Those can't be true at the same time.
Every day, what Donald, Donald Trump is giving you a reality show.
Why?
Every day there's a new leak out of his campaign about how this person's actually in charge.
And now they're not.
And now they might be there.
And this person's not being considered, but this person is.
And there's 15 people.
Now there's eight.
Now there's 91.
Now there's one.
He's made his decision.
He's not going to have a vice president.
He's going to pick Carrot Top.
All of these things come out.
He will tell you when he's ready.
Sorry.
That's just a totally separate rant.
Were you going to bring up Doug Bergham?
I was going to bring up Doug Bergham, but I don't think I'm going to now.
They say the three are Doug Bergham, which I just don't get it.
Come on.
Would he be the worst vice president of all time?
No, I don't think he would.
He'd probably be fine.
I just don't understand.
I don't understand it.
With Joe Biden in the running of that?
No, that's true.
No, yes.
He definitely would not be the worst.
He would not, I don't think, be a massive.
I don't think he would be a massive source of embarrassment for the campaign.
He probably would be so boring, you'd forget he was vice president in moments, right?
Which is one reason why Donald Trump might pick him.
True.
However, I will put a little bit of an asterisk on this to say he's being presented as this safe choice.
He has never been tested on any type of stage like this.
It's like you're like, well, I think he's the safest choice.
He performed really well when he played basketball at North Dakota State.
So we're going to make him the number one pick overall.
And it's like, well, maybe, right?
Like, perhaps, but he's never been tested.
He didn't play at the highest levels.
He's never been in front of the media like this.
He's never had to deal with this.
I don't know honestly what the difference is between Doug Bergham and Sarah Palin.
Like they're both unproven governor candidates that have arguably pretty good records as governor, that have promise in some ways.
Like you take a risk by putting something like that on the stage.
Quickly.
Yeah.
Yes.
Now, the next one is Rubio.
Right.
Rubio.
And I like Rubio.
I'm not necessarily a fan of all of his, you know, his hot buttons, and he seems like a much bigger government guy than I am.
But I like Rubio.
He's good.
Rubio seems like the type of choice you could see here.
I mean, look, it's fascinating that obviously they hated each other on and off over the years.
Look, small Rubio or little Rubio.
Little Marco.
Yeah, little Marco.
That's what it was.
But again, like, that's Trump, right?
Like at that time, he needed to defeat Marco Rubio, right?
So he was talking about him like that.
And at this time, Marco Rubio might help him with some of the constituencies he's looking for.
It's a little weird.
Obviously, there's a constitutional question as to two people from Florida on the ticket.
There's disagreement on that, but you'd have to do something to solve that problem, likely, which would, I would assume, mean Trump changing his state of residence.
No way.
No way.
It doesn't sound very Trumpian, does it?
No.
Like he's going to move forward.
Where's he going to change?
Well, I mean, he could go.
I mean, he owns places all over the place, right?
He could change to wherever he wanted, I guess.
But it just seems like it's like this top of the ticket guy moving to justify the bottom of the ticket guy.
No.
But at the same time, I mean, Rubio is the senator from the state, so he really can't move.
So it's there's a weird conflict there.
But taking that out, you could see Marco Rubio being the type of choice.
He's not going to embarrass you.
He's been in front of cameras a million times.
He's a known quantity.
He would be the first, if you care about the identity politics aspects, he'd be the first, how would you phrase it?
I mean, Cuba's American, but I mean, you know, anyone in that generalized category, he'd be the first on a major ticket.
So, you know, there's a lot there.
I mean, he, you know, he doesn't fully agree with Trump, I think, on some of these issues.
He's definitely, I think, more hawkish militarily, foreign policy-wise than Trump.
And I don't know how Trump would feel about that.
But I think Trump's just looking for somebody who's not going to embarrass him and maybe will help him win.
Right?
Yeah.
And also maybe make friends with Marco Rubio if he's not picked.
Well, you were close.
I mean, I really considered you, and now I've got a good friend as a senator.
That's what straight screams Doug Bergham to me, right?
Like Doug Bergham, he's got a nine-figure bankroll.
He could be one of the biggest donors.
Yes.
It just strikes me as like, hey, Ricky, we're really close.
Doug, we're going to, oh, we just didn't pick you.
Your name didn't come out of the hat.
But you know what?
You'd be a great Secretary of Agriculture and give me $50 million.
No one will ever see you again.
So the Marco Rubio thing, I think, makes sense.
Doug Bergham for money.
Yes.
Marco Rubio makes sense for the Hispanic thing, but Trump doesn't.
I don't think Trump cares about that, but it makes more sense to me of having a good friend in the Senate that is more traditional.
You know what I mean?
More traditional GOP.
And then you have JD Vance.
And JD Vance is an interesting pick and could be the solution.
Donald Trump is having problems with the ultra.
I can't say ultra right, the religious right because he's backing off of his stance on abortion.
Now, I think he's doing that politically, but maybe not.
JD Vance as the Political Solution00:03:35
I don't know.
He's doing that to soften and try to get some women in the suburbs to actually think that he's not Hitler and a monster that's going to rip out their uterus.
And so he is he's softening that.
I don't know if that's true or not, but a lot of the big movers and shakers and the churches are absolutely critical.
If he loses 3% of the church vote, he's in real trouble.
He cannot lose it.
So maybe JD Vance would be a good pick for him to make sure you shore up the real conservative vote.
Now, JD, I don't know where he stands on religion.
I don't know anything about him on religion.
But we do know that he is a fighter and a conservative.
And I believe he's pro-life, very strongly pro-life.
So that might be a Mike Pence to make sure that we get that vote.
You know what I mean?
I don't know if that's the approach with him.
That's an interesting one to talk out, though.
Yeah, okay, we'll do that in just a second.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour, Relief Factor.
Let me tell you about Michelle who lives in Arizona and her Relief Factor story.
She said, originally, Michelle bought Relief Factor not for herself, but for her husband, his aches and pains.
Sure enough, it worked for him.
She took notice of that.
So she started taking it when she started having aches and pains.
Well, she decided that, wow, I guess it works for him and it works for me now too.
She said it worked almost immediately and it's been helping her keep her and her husband out of pain ever since.
I know what it's like.
Michelle, keep it up.
Keep taking it every day.
You know, you don't feel it in your body because it's all natural and it doesn't work like Ibuprofen or anything else.
It's a supplement you take every single day and it works.
And when you start to think, I don't know if this is doing anything, go ahead, get off it for a while and you will see the difference.
If you're living with aches and pain, see how Relief Factor, a daily drug-free supplement, could help you feel live better every single day.
Try it for three weeks.
The relieffactor.com address is where you need to go, or you can call 800 for relief.
800, the number for relief, relieffactor.com.
10 seconds station id uh like i've we have alex i just heard in my uh uh ear that alex jones will be joining us here in just a second uh
Jones was talked about his bankruptcy trustee, and now it's out on the record that that's exactly what the trustee is doing, what Alex said he was doing.
So we'll get his first comment on him being liquidated.
Well, not him being liquidated.
Although I bet they would like to do that.
We must liquidate Alex Jones.
Can I give you two things on the JD Vance thing quickly before we go to break?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think the two choices to be made if you're going to pick Vance.
One is a decision that you really need a bulldog to go out and fight.
And Vance is very good on television.
He's a good communicator.
JD Vance's Reagan-Style Legacy00:02:43
He knows the media.
He can back Donald Trump very effectively in an aggressive way.
It's not a pence play necessarily from a tone place at all.
Not at all.
The other part is I think an interesting underplayed part of this is if Trump cares about legacy of his policies, right?
Yes.
Does he care?
And I don't know that Trump thinks like this.
I don't know that he does.
Of course not.
He's going to declare himself dictator for long.
Oh, that's right.
I forgot.
You've never heard from MSNBC.
There's nobody going to be president after him.
But like if Trump cares about what the Republican platform is 30 years from now, the next candidate, the most likely guy to be the next presidential candidate after Trump is going to be who he picks as VP.
Vance really is the type of person who has the pedigree to carry on a Trumpian Republican party as something more of an intellectual movement and less of just a thing about a guy, right?
Which is sort of what it is now.
I mean, there's policies that are worked in, but it's still a lot of the old school policies and there's a mix.
And it's all really Trump and what Trump wants, right?
Long term, if he wants it to be something where, hey, for the next multiple generations, we're talking about a different Republican Party that looks more American first than what it used to look like.
The Reagan movement was bigger than Reagan.
It went on and on.
It still plays a role in American politics.
But he, so far, there's not been anybody that could pick this mantle up.
JD Vance, I think you're right, JD Vance could be a guy that would create that Reagan-style legacy for Donald Trump.
But I also think that Donald Trump needs to excite his very conservative voters, and especially the ones who are fighting for life.
He cannot lose a single person on that.
Not one.
Glenn Beck.
So there was a time when American manufacturing was the envy of the world.
It was made in America.
It was the quality that the world trusted.
Much of that is gone, and so are those American workers, except they're still in our cities.
They're still around and they still want to work.
When you buy American Made, you create jobs for people who sew clothing, the cutters, the factory workers in towns, the farmers that grow our cotton here in America.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program's So there's a news story out today from the Associated Press.
U.S. bankruptcy court trustee is planning to shut down conspiracy theorist Alec Jones InfoWars media platform and liquidate its assets to help pay the $1.5 billion in lawsuit judgments Jones owes for repeatedly calling the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting a hoax.
In an emergency motion filed Sunday in Houston, trustee Christopher Murray indicated publicly for the first time that he intends to conduct an orderly wind down of the operation of InfoWars, the parent company, and liquidate its inventory.
Jones has been saying on his website when radio shows he believes InfoWar will operate for a few more months before it's shut down because of the bankruptcy.
Murray also asked the U.S. bankruptcy judge Christopher Lopez to put an immediate hold on the Sandy Hook family's efforts to collect the how are you going to get $1.5 billion to collect the massive amount Jones owns that owes them.
Murray said those efforts would interfere with his plans to close down the parent company, Free Speech Systems in Austin, Texas, and sell off the assets, which much of the proceeds would go to the families.
On Friday, the lawyers for the parents in Connecticut asked a state judge in Texas to order free speech systems to turn over to the family certain assets, including the money in the bank accounts, garnish its accounts.
Judge Maya Guerrero Gamble approved the request, prompting Murray to have an emergency motion.
Alex Jones is here to give us a comment on this.
Hello, Alex.
Glenn, thanks for having me on.
This is very historic.
The, quote, families who are represented by high-powered Democrat Party law firms, the same ones suing Elon Musk right now for defamation, different plants, the same lawyers.
They went on CNN last week and said, we do not want money.
We want it immediately closed.
The doors closed.
They don't want to sell the millions of dollars of inventory, books, films, t-shirts, supplements, water filters.
They don't want anything.
They want it immediately shut down.
And they said, because we want to stop his speech, they actually said that on CNN.
If you want, I can send you the clip.
It's just outrageous how transparent this is.
And again, in Texas and Connecticut, in both show trials two years ago, both judges found me guilty of failure to give any discovery, but we gave them everything.
There was just no evidence of what they said that we did.
So instead, both judges found me guilty in default and then had juries decide how guilty I was.
They then put on evidence that I had $400 million in the bank.
I didn't have $5 million in the bank.
All of it was total disinformation.
I was not allowed to put on defense.
I was not allowed to respond.
People that watched the hearing said, why don't his lawyers defend him?
Well, they weren't allowed to.
So this is very dangerous, very, very precedent setting.
But they've now publicly admitted, we don't want money.
We want to shut it down.
So they had filed a few weeks ago to totally just shut the doors.
And so I said, fine, I'll do an orderly liquidation.
That way, the stuff actually gets sold off.
The employees might get some severance.
I can go work for somebody else, be part of another operation.
They're not going to silence me.
And so they immediately ran to the same judge that found me guilty without a jury trial in Texas.
And just in a summary hearing, no evidence said, boom, seize all the assets.
So now the federal trustee is in a fight with them, trying to block them today, grabbing the bank accounts and having the sheriff's department, it's in her order, come and lock the doors.
So everybody's already basically got their stuff out of the building weeks ago.
And remember, when I told people that they'd done filings to do this, the media said, oh, it's a conspiracy theory.
Nobody wants to silence them.
So the corporate establishment media, the leftist media's default is to always just deny reality and then turn around the next day and admit it was actually true.
So, Glenn, I really appreciate you having me on to talk about this because, again, people ask how I'm taking it.
This is a big, big deal, not just for me, but the whole country and the whole world.
They've admitted in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, CNN everywhere that they're going to use this precedent against me in lawfare against everybody else.
So they use you as the beta test to kick the number one talk show host in the world politically at the time, you off of Fox using a bunch of threats and disinfo and going up for sponsors.
And then now they're beta testing lawfare with me.
And again, I'm guilty of plenty of stuff.
I made plenty of mistakes, but I did not say 99% of what they said I said, but I couldn't defend myself.
They entered 22 minutes of video at both trials that were coordinated in Connecticut and Texas.
22 minutes is all they ever had of me talking about it.
They had three times with callers calling in me saying, Yeah, I think it's totally stakes.
But I never sent anybody their houses, never peed on graves.
No evidence was given.
Nobody went to their houses.
Nobody peed on their graves.
It was literally just like saying Trump says that all Hispanics are criminals and that white supremacists are nice people.
He never said those things, but the media creates this illusion that that's the case.
And then when I was totally kicked off the air, except for some radio stations during my deplatforming that started five years ago, I couldn't respond anywhere when they were bombarding me sometimes on every nightly news channel, hundreds of publications saying things I never said.
I was unable to respond.
So that's what's so scary about this situation.
So, Alex, which one do you want to happen then?
The liquidation, the orderly exit, or I mean, which one is good for you, either?
Absolutely.
Well, that's what happened two Fridays ago in court: they filed in court and told the judge we want him closed today.
And the rogue CRO admitted to the judge in court that indeed he tried to lock the doors and kick me out.
And the judge told him 10 times, 10, Mr. Jones is the owner under law, so you can't do that.
But as soon as I declared personal seven two weeks ago, I accepted the judge appointing this Federal liquidator because that was my only last move just to get us a few months for an orderly shutdown.
So that's exactly what's happening.
And so I agreed to this two Fridays ago.
The media basically didn't even report on it.
And then when he announced the liquidation a few days ago, the media reported that he was liquidating me.
I agreed to that because it's the only thing I can do other than just let them put padlocks on the doors today.
Now, you don't get anything either way, right?
They take whatever they can of yours.
By declaring bankruptcy, does this now end your battle for the $1.5 billion judgment?
No, because both of the state courts found that I engaged in malicious intent to hurt people, which of course wasn't true.
And the law is clear.
You've got to have a full jury trial to do that.
That's why both in Connecticut and in Texas, I have filed appeals.
The word is we're going to win on both of them because these were not real trials that were conducted.
Just like the Supreme Court rule yesterday that you've got to have a unanimous jury on a criminal thing, which will, of course, overturn Trump's New York thing.
It's the same thing here.
This is 100% cut and dry.
Their plan has been to take all my money away so that I cannot continue the appeals, but I've already prepaid the appeals.
I've already got good lawyers on the appeals.
And I'll just leave it at this.
The word is that they're both going to be struck down in Connecticut and in Texas.
So this has been kind of a race to just get me off the air in the meantime for this election.
Alex, best of luck, will keep track of the story.
Thank you so much.
Alex Jones, you bet he is right about one thing.
Judicial warfare, lawfare is the thing of the future now.
Stu will tell you he can't do a monologue today.
He can't do a show he was going to do because of the amount of litigation that we are now facing at the Blaze.
We can't use sound.
There's several stories that we wanted to cover, and we've covered the important ones, but you can tell the story much better when you have them on tape saying it.
But now, for some strange reason, all fair use and everything else has gone out the window, shockingly right before the election, where we can't play people from the campaign trail saying things to the American people.
Wow, that's interesting.
And the litigation is just getting overwhelming, especially if you don't have the pockets that the Blaze has.
They're going to put a lot of people right out of business with lawfare.
That's real.
And that's why I want to make sure I'm pointing out what's happening to Alex.
As he said, he made a lot of mistakes.
He did a lot of stupid things.
We all have.
And, you know, a 1.5, it was in the trillions, if I remember right.
It was like $2 trillion.
And then they brought it down to $1.5 billion.
Like that.
I mean, like that judgment is even possible for anybody who is in the media.
Anybody.
We don't make billions of dollars.
That shuts you down for the rest of your life.
And you still don't pay for it.
Anyway, this is why we're covering this story.
It's also why we are offering right now a seven-day free trial of the Blaze.
If you've never tried the Blaze, we've never offered a free trial.
And we're going to offer seven days free trial so you can try it.
If you like it, great.
If you can afford it, you know, you join us for the full year.
You'll save $30 off of your year's subscription.
We really need your backing right now because of some of the things that are happening that we are fighting right now.
We are fighting to be able to keep you informed.
Google just changed some of their policies.
We can't promote or play any of our documentaries and have them seen by anybody because of Google, they're accusing us of saying that, you know, I don't even know, COVID didn't happen and the Hunter laptop is real and those things can't be said.
The election fraud, we just did a special on the things you have to do to help prevent election fraud.
Who's against that?
Who is against that?
Well, apparently Google is and YouTube and everything else.
So we can't get the word out about our documentaries.
That's another reason why we're offering the seven days.
Just go and watch all the documentaries.
Just go and watch all the shows that you might have heard us talk about.
And if you find value, join us.
Or if you find value, send it to somebody else and say, hey, you need to watch this documentary.
You got seven-day free trial.
Just go watch these things.
It's crucial that our voices are not shut down and they are doing everything they can to silence us before the election.
So join us, Blaze TV.

All right, MyPatriot Supply.
There is no time like the present.
Future.
You've known that since you were a little kid.
Hearing the story about, you know, the little red hen storing grain for the winter.
When an emergency happens, it happens without warning.
It's part of what the word emergency means.
Please make sure that you and your family are ready for anything.
MyPatriot Supply is the nation's food leader, high-quality emergency food, and they provide a perfect way to have peace of mind for your family.
Remember, it's always better to have emergency food and not need it than it is to not have it and need it.
Since 2008, MyPatriot Supply has helped millions of Americans gear up for emergencies.
They're the largest now in the world and the best, most respected in the world.
Today, their popular four-week emergency food kit flying off the shelves.
They're saying that all the progress we have made in the last four years on climate is at risk.
We've made historic investments in combating the climate crisis, supercharging the clean energy transition, and addressing environmental injustice.
We've gotten more done on climate than any similar period in American history, and the contrast with Mr. Trump's tenure in office could not be more dramatic.
So the people that are supporting Curtis are the same ones that are standing against Donald Trump, and they're all for climate action.
No, thank you.
Not another Mitt Romney, please.
Not another Mitt Romney.
Trent Staggs is the underdog in this.
They have spent millions of dollars in the last two weeks to try to take him out.
We're going to talk to him.
And if you happen to be voting in Utah, maybe you should take a strong look at Trent Staggs for the U.S. Senate.
Wouldn't it be nice to have two really conservative constitutional senators from a really conservative constitutional state?
You know, there's excuses if you're in Maine.
There are no excuses for another Mitt Romney other than you're being bought off and being told lies by your own local press and by climate change activists.
Money.
Wake up.
Trent Staggs joins us in a minute, and then we delve into why is the left suddenly trying to draft all of our daughters.
Coming up.
The Glenn Beck Program.

Primary election in several states today.
We've been talking about Bowman losing in New York, hopefully.
And there is the Mitt Romney seat that is open now.
And who's going to get it?
More of the same or somebody who is different?
Somebody who is supported by who would be his fellow senator, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul.
More of the same, another Mitt Romney, or somebody that is standing firm for the Constitution.
We're going to talk to that man when we begin in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about the Berna launcher.
It's the middle of the night.
Blue and red lights come flashing through your windows from police cars outside.
Everywhere, everywhere in your living room, there is a crime scene tape.
An officer with a notebook is asking you all kinds of questions.
You heard a noise in the living room.
Yes, you assumed it was a burglar exercising your Second Amendment rights.
You came out, you warned, and apparently you set the sent the cat to meet Jesus.
I mean, or whoever cats meet in the afterlife.
Okay, could have been a much bigger loss.
When you are pulling a gun, you have to make sure that you are qualified to shoot it, to shoot it accurately, and to shoot to kill.
Is that what you always need?
I tell you, in the situations on the streets in America today, and especially if you live in a place like Los Angeles or California or Chicago or really any place, You can carry a Burna launcher legally, and there's no permits.
There's nothing that you need to carry a Burna launcher, and that launches tear gas up to 60 feet.
It'll stop people dead in their tracks up to 60 feet and incapacitate them for about 40 minutes.

So we have Trent Staggs on with us.
He is running for Mitt Romney's seat.
And why are you the candidate people should vote for, Trent?
Welcome.
Hey, great to be with you.
Well, I think you laid it out there really well.
I mean, you have Utah's have a choice.
They can either have a continuation of Mitt Romney by voting for John Curtis, who is the very definition of a rhino, was chaired the Utah County Democratic Party before becoming a Republican, doesn't support President Trump, was one of the 35 House Republicans to support the January 6th committee, supported the impeachment inquiry, censured Trump on the House floor, still won't commit to endorse him.
He's bought and paid for by climate change activists.
He has over $13 million in PACs.
They've spent $3 million attacking me in the last two weeks.
Or you have me, who supports President Trump.
I've endorsed him.
I'm somebody who's a constitutional conservative.
I've committed to join the executive steering committee, the Freedom Caucus equivalent of the Senate with Mike Lee, with Rand Paul, with Senator Tuberville, with so many great patriots.
That's who I am.
And I'm supported by everyday Americans, everyday Utah's, thousands and thousands of individual donors.
I am not bought and paid for.
I am going to be beholden only to the people and to get this country back on track.
And so that is the clear difference and distinction between me or the climate change climate caucus founder, John Curtis, who has now been the recipient of all of this outside money and influence in our state.
It's just absolutely ridiculous.
I will tell you that reading about the climate change people that are backing him and spending millions of dollars, this is quite disturbing because they talk about climate justice being done, and we've come too far in the last four years on climate change and getting rid of traditional energy, et cetera, et cetera.
This is really bad and bad for Utah as well as the rest of the United States.
Oh, it is.
It is absolutely the wrong way to go.
I mean, I'm somebody who has believed, believes in energy dominance in this country, drill, baby, drill.
I was on the board of directors of an energy company, oil and gas assets that we took public.
I mean, I'm all about unleashing American energy because that is the base of our economy.
Because of high energy costs now, with this crazy push for these green initiatives and climate change, you know, just worshiping the altar, these climate change activists, we've got gasoline that's in excess of $4 a gallon again in many parts of the country.
It's had repercussions all throughout the economy.
We need to stop that, get back to energy dominance, stop printing money so that we can combat the Biden inflation and the Bidenomics.
And my opponent wants to just continue that.
And I have no doubt that he would continue on that course because he is going to ultimately be beholden to all of this money that's come in and tried to influence the election in Utah's.
And I just hope that Utah's are not falling for it.
He doesn't have a great record on climate when it comes to, you know, looking at him as a candidate if you're on the left.
Why do you suppose they're pouring all this money into him if he's not the Green New Deal guy?
Well, they don't want to have me in there.
I mean, I'm clearly not the establishment pick.
I wasn't at the convention either here in Utah where I was hit hard with outside money as well.
Nonetheless, we survived.
We won 70% of the delegate vote.
We got the endorsement of President Trump that morning.
So the establishment is clearly concerned about me.
They know that I'm somebody that doesn't want to go to D.C., become part of that establishment crowd that John Curtis is.
No, I will actually stand for the Constitution.
I will stand up and fight with Mike Lee and other great senators.
I've got a demonstrated record of doing that.
I was the only one willing to stand up and challenge Mitt Romney in this race.
He didn't drop out until about four months after I declared my candidacy.
Nobody else was willing to do that.
I stood up to COVID lockdowns and mandates as a mayor.
You know, time and again, I've shown a willingness to stand up and fight for what is right.
And they know that with me in the Senate, it would be one less vote for an establishment and an opportunity to persuade somebody to their agenda.
Trent, thank you.
Today, the vote is taking place.
I guess we will know tonight.
We very well could.
Look, that's the important thing.
We've got to have people come out and vote.
I know your listeners, we've had an historic low right now.
Only about 200,000 ballots have been turned in out of almost a million registered Republicans in the state.
You've got to be kidding me.
No, no, Glenn.
We need people to show up.
Those that are conservative, that are listening to this show, that live in Utah.
I'm asking you, you know, we need to be able to get out there, vote, get me into office so we can drain the swamp with these other great senators that we brought up.
Thanks, Trent.
This is Trent Staggs.
He is a U.S. Senate candidate.
He is running for the Mitt Romney seat.
He is not Mitt Romney.
He is rational and a constitutionalist.
And I can't believe, you know, Utah.
Jeez, man, for the love of Pete, what are you thinking?
What are you thinking?
A guy who is being supported by millions of dollars in climate money, what do you think's going to happen?
Do we need another guy who, you know, is anti-Trump being in there?
America has got to choose.
You have to choose.
You are either going to go back to the Constitution or you're going to go down some, I don't know what we're headed toward except fascism.
What do you want?
Do you want people who are fighting for the Constitution?
Not every state has the ability to elect actual constitutionalists.
Not every state can do it.
There's a handful of states.
Texas, John Cornyn should be gone.
Gone.
There's no excuse for a John Cornyn in Texas.
There is no excuse for a Mitt Romney or another Mitt Romney in Utah.
And if you don't feel passionate enough about the Constitution and where we are, and you don't feel passionate enough to get out and vote today on a primary day when your choice is this clear, I don't, I mean, Constitution hanging by a thread.
You're going to show up?
You're going to show up or not?
Constitution Hanging By A Thread00:12:28
It's up to you.
I'd show up to vote today.
Trent Staggs, U.S. Senate candidate running for the Mitt Romney seat.

10 seconds station id all right uh The Beck story.
The Beck Story available episode number three, the new history podcast series called The Beck Story.
It's available now.
If you haven't heard it yet, you're going to love it.
This episode is about Woodrow Wilson's administration, how he used World War I to launch the most severe restriction on First Amendment freedoms in U.S. history.
It's remarkable, and we're repeating so much of it.
Sending and receiving mail was subject to approval of the post office.
Did you see, Stu, today, what was in the news about the post office?
Um, not off the top of my head.
What was it?
Oh, you didn't?
Uh, so the post office was reviewed.
Let me see if I can find it here.
Uh, and the post office has been spying on Americans.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I mean, they say you can't, we can't open the letters.
We can't open the letters, but we can report to the government, you know, the mail and who it's coming from.
Okay, well, you got me.
Victoria Secrets catalog, you know, you got me.
LL Bean sending stuff to me.
Okay, I give Philson.
Yep, yep.
And the electric company sends me an awful lot of stuff, an awful lot of mail.
But still, and we've made this point a million times, just because you're not doing anything wrong does not mean that the surveillance tactics are okay.
No, but what's amazing, Stu, is if you listen to episode number three of the podcast, the Beck story, you will, you'll hear about how the post office was used.
And it's, I mean, we're still using it now.
We're still using it.
They said in 18, I think it was 90 something or other, they passed a law that you could not open somebody else's mail.
Okay, it was against the law.
So Woodrow Wilson, he uses the post office to find out, you know, who's sending what to whom.
But then he encourages a public-private partnership with citizens, and he even issues them badges.
They were meaningless badges, but you had a badge, and you were encouraged to go to your neighbor's mailbox and open their mail if you thought they were an extremist.
And an extremist back then meant you were against Woodrow Wilson or the war.
I mean, doesn't this sound familiar?
My gosh.
And now they're doing it with what?
Twitter direct messages and Facebook posts.
Right.
I mean, it's just a little bit technologically, and that's about it.
When do you think we're going to get that ruling from the Supreme Court?
That's a good question.
I'm not sure.
I mean, we obviously have a bunch that are coming out this week.
And my understanding is they've just added days this week for decisions, right?
So they're not necessarily going into the following week, though in theory, I think they can.
But yeah, I'm not sure what we're looking at there, when these things will come down.
The law on chevron deference, you know, giving the pencil pushers in the administration the ability to write laws instead of Congress.
Is there a better chance that that comes back in our favor or is it a better chance that Boeing will kill all of the space station people that are on board their new Starliner?
I mean, I'm looking at online betting sites and it's about even odds here, Glenn.
It's about even odds.
But if the Chevron definition is.
I mean, I had, before they even took off, I had Boeing killing the astronauts.
Oh, really?
In the pool.
So, yeah, it was an early adopter on that.
That's good.
It'll be interesting to see.
I think what seems to happen with these things is you don't get the ruling you want.
Like, you don't get the, oh, they're just going to overturn this completely.
They're going to, you know, the John Roberts of the world always love to bring up the, well, that would really disrupt things, you know, and I don't want to do that.
We got that a little bit in one of the rulings last week.
I don't really want to just, that's too much disruption.
But at the end of the day, you might get a ruling that's favorable towards sanity.
And even if it's a limited ruling, it might actually help things at least a little bit.
I think that's what they're going to do with Donald Trump with his immunity.
I think they have to rule on that, but limit it.
I mean, you can't give anybody blanket immunity for whatever they do.
You know, let's say your son's doing blow, you know, there in the Oval Office.
I mean, if you're covering it up, I don't think you should have blanket immunity.
But if you're doing official acts as the president, you need to have immunity.
You need to.
At some level, right?
I mean, I don't know.
It'll be interesting to think.
I don't think the Supreme Court is going to adopt the Trump lawyer's perspective on this.
I don't think they're going to give him a huge win.
But it already.
They might give him a little win.
They might give him a little win.
I think there's a it would be nice to have these guidelines mapped out a little bit more clearly than they are now, which is basically to say not at all.
But this is already a win for Trump, the fact that they took the case and it's taken this long.
I mean, the whole point from a Trump perspective of this is not even necessarily winning the immunity claim.
It's to delay this long enough that he doesn't have to deal with this nonsense before the election.
You know, I mean, again, we have a jury.
Tens of millions of people will be a very large jury to decide whether they think Donald Trump should be president again.
I don't know why we can't rely on the American people here.
It's a foundational concept of the country, right?
I mean, that's really one of the central things that the founders believed in that, you know what, maybe it shouldn't be grudges held by kings.
Maybe instead the people should choose.
And we have that opportunity.
The Democrats are trying to do everything they can to take it away from us, though.
What do you think about Virginia?
Do you see that Virginia may, I mean, Trump is now starting to campaign there and exercise more of a concern for Virginia because it may push a blue state red?
He's polling well there.
There's been some really good polling there and then some that is showing it close.
I wouldn't say I'm a believer in Trump winning Virginia at this point, if I had to say.
I don't think it's impossible.
I mean, we have seen Republicans win, even recently, there.
Not necessarily the Trump profile of Republican has been successful in Virginia, but we have seen, especially at the governor level, some success in Virginia.
You know what?
You know what that was?
Those were the churches.
For the first time, the churches in Virginia organized and made sure that everybody who was going to church went out and vote.
Doesn't matter what you're voting for, get out and vote.
If Christians would just vote, the world would be a very different place.
Yeah, and I will also add Junckin, especially with Yunkin, it was parents.
You know, it was parents with kids in school, which was a huge factor in that election.
I don't think it's unwinnable for a Republican, but I mean, if I'm putting money on it, I would not favor Donald Trump in that state at this point.
You never know.
Things could change.
I mean, if you look, believe the polls right now, things have ticked back in Biden's direction over the past few weeks.
You know, again, these are such minimal differences that you're so within the margin of error that I don't know what you can take out of it.
But right now, this is a massively close election.
I mean, it's a flip of a coin right now.
Perfect.
Perfect.
So whoever wins, the other side can say it was stolen.
Yeah, perfect.
Perfect.
Great.

Our sponsor is Rough Greens.
I love my dog.
I love my dog.
He is the best, but he's getting old.
I had to pick him up.
He's 120 pounds.
I had to pick him up and put him into the end of the car yesterday.
And then when we got there, I had to pick him up and take him out of the car.
He's just getting so old.
But boy, I tell you, he's had a great life.
We've had a great life with him.
And one of the things that I really love is that Rough Greens, when all I wanted from Rough Greens was a way to get my dog to eat, it not only helped him do that, but I saw a huge change in his activity level.
He became like a puppy again.
I want you to try Rough Greens if you have a dog that you really care about.

Why Register Daughters for the Draft00:12:21
chris bedford has a great article out on the blaze.com today the democrats strange obsession with drafting your daughters I don't even understand.
I mean, I understood this long ago.
It was a way for Democrats who didn't like war to kind of, you know, ramp up the odds that we wouldn't go to war if, you know, we had a draft and then we drafted your daughters.
Nobody would want to go to war.
I get that, except the Democrats now are the pro-war party.
So what the hell is happening?
And this just seems to have come out of nowhere.
The most outspoken voices on this are Chip Roy and Mike Lee.
And Mike is with us now.
Can you please tell me what is happening with the draft stuff, Mike?
Why is this happening?
Yeah, look, the Draft Art Daughters agenda has no place in our national defense.
Think what they're trying to do.
They're trying to engage in this sort of radical egalitarian exercise where for aesthetic purposes, we're deciding to just show how woke we are, how open-minded we are.
Do you really think that's motivating them at all?
Well, yes, because I can't fathom any other reason why they would want to do it.
Look, you don't send women to fight as long as able-bodied men exist and are available to fight.
It's a fundamental notion.
You don't even have to get to a moral question on this.
It's a survival question.
The Draft Arc Daughters push has been something that keeps getting recirculated every few years.
It's failed before, every single time.
Congress has rightly rejected previous attempts to draft women.
And this year, they're quietly trying to slip it into the NDAA, the National Defense Authorization Act.
It's a bill that Congress passes once a year to establish priorities for our military.
But people have already said no to it.
It's an underhanded tactic to include it in the base bill of the Defense Authorization Act.
We shouldn't be putting policies like this, such a revolutionary policy into it, especially when what they've been doing of late is putting this together and then ramming it through the Senate floor and telling us that we have no opportunity to amend it once it gets the floor.
So that's why we've got to start sounding the alarm bells now before it gets to the Senate floor or the House floor saying absolutely not.
The American people aren't going to take this.
Okay, so you said it was a matter of survival.
Explain that.
Well, okay, so the purpose of having a military and therefore the purpose of having a draft to staff the military is to break things and kill people, just to put it very bluntly.
And so you don't put women out there as long as able-bodied men exist and are able to fight for all sorts of reasons, including the fact that men have certain biological advantages in war that need to be utilized.
And it just sends all the wrong messages to our own people and to whatever country or entity that we're fighting, that, oh, our able-bodied men are not all going to go out there.
We're going to send women instead.
Sends all the wrong messages, and it's not going to work well.
So every time people hear this, they need to reiterate their desire.
If they feel the same way, they should repeat the phrase, don't draft our daughters.
Just don't do it.
That goes over pretty well.
Once people hear it phrased like that, they tend to back away from it.
And we shouldn't let them think that this is just a non-controversial, basic housekeeping, just, you know, updating our legislative books to reflect modern realities.
No, this is a fundamental shift and one that we're not going to fall for.
I mean, one I usually don't disagree with, Marsha Blackburn.
She said this is about opportunity.
It's not about combat.
It's about their opportunity to serve.
Well, you know, I just found a picture of my grandparents.
My grandfather is in a military Marines uniform, and my grandmother is in a Salvation Army uniform.
And, you know, women served all through wars in different capacities.
You can serve.
It's just your body is not made for a war.
You can't drag your 200-pound companion off the battlefield if you're a 125-pound woman.
You might be able to, but it's not going to be easy.
No, that's exactly right.
And like you, I normally agree with Marcia Blackburn.
I had not heard that she had said that.
But let me just respond to this point as it's similar to points that others have made on this front.
This is not about opportunity.
Opportunities already exist.
Opportunities already abound for people of both sexes to support the military, to be part of military, to serve in combat or non-compact positions as they may choose.
This is not about that.
This is whether we're going to use the coercive force of the state, the coercive force of the United States government in order to, at the point of a gun, order someone to take steps that could result in their being drafted, their being brought at the point of a gun to a battlefield somewhere.
We shouldn't do that.
We're not going to do that.
This is not about opportunity.
This is about right and wrong.
This is about survival.
I am not for a draft in any case.
I think, you know, there's some people who disagree with me that are in the military, but I think a draft brings people in that have no desire to be there, no desire to really fight.
I mean, unless we're in World War III, which we could be, check the clock, unless we're in World War III and the country needs, you know, I think you always keep to a system where it's a volunteer army for as long as you possibly can, because you get the people who are mentally and physically capable and ready to do it.
You're exactly right, Glenn, but this is where it gets tricky because you're right, and I think most people would agree with you, including most people in Congress, including many of the people pushing this effort to require women to register with the Selective Service.
What they would say here is, oh, this isn't about the draft.
This is just about requiring them to register with the Selective Service.
Whether or not we actually have a draft, well, Congress would have to authorize that before we could draft anyone.
See, that's where it's easy to get hooked on that one as sort of a teaser rage.
You could say, oh, well, I'm not really voting to draft women.
I'm just voting to require them to register with the Selective Service.
But then next time, if we are facing World War III or some other conflict where for whatever reason, in order to survive, we've got to conscript people involuntarily into the military, it will be automatic because women will already be registered with the Selective Service.
So that's the decision that we have to look to right now.
We have to treat this as do we want to draft women?
And I believe that among the American people, the answer is a resounding no, and it should be.
No.
Let me ask you this.
My sister was freaking out a couple of weeks ago because they made it automatic now.
We used to have to register every male registered.
When you turn 18, you register for selective service, and it always freaks you out as a teenager.
Wait a minute, I have to what?
But, you know, we haven't seen a draft since the 60s or 70s.
And it's just not in the cards.
But why are all these things changing right now?
What is going on, Mike?
Some people will look at this and go, you know, they're getting us ready for war.
Are they?
Or is this just, what is this?
Okay.
So I think the best way to understand this, years ago at an event hosted by the American Enterprise Institute, I heard someone give a speech in which they talked about ways in which we should be wary of a government as it becomes more efficient through technology and otherwise.
Government efficiency can be, sounds like, often is a good thing.
But he pointed out that in some areas where our civil liberties are concerned, a hyper-efficient government poses a greater threat to our liberty.
Perhaps this is one of them, where you used to have to go out and take an affirmative step that kept people focused on it, where it happens automatically.
They don't even really think it through all that much.
And perhaps they don't want people thinking about it.
They just want to register them on their own.
Sort of like the government is efficient in a lot of ways that otherwise undermine our liberty with the way that it spies on people.
For example, under Section 70205, that that's an example of another efficiency that undermines our liberty.
And we ought to watch out for all those.
Mike, thank you so much.
Any thoughts on the Senate race today in Utah?
Well, I know you didn't endorse anybody.
Yes, I did not endorse in that race.
I did endorse in the 2nd Congressional District and the 3rd Congressional District.
Second, I endorse Kobe Jenkins, who's a fantastic human being at Green Beret, and I encourage everybody to go out and vote for him.
Also in the 3rd Congressional District in Utah, Dr. Mike Kennedy, both a doctor and a lawyer, a proud public servant, a state senator, and somebody who loves the country very much.
So looking forward to the results tonight.
All right.
Thanks, Mike.
Appreciate it.
God bless.
Thank you.
All right.

Give you some news from north of the border.
A Canadian news broadcaster has been unashamedly flashing the streets of New York this month in her bid to liberate women.
Her name is Elia Adams.
She's a self-proclaimed exhibitionist.
She explained how exposing her breasts and quote nether regions to the public in New York has been her nod to gender equality.
She's from Toronto.
She said, if men can walk around shirtless without fear of reprisal, so should women.
Okay.
Normal to be nude and flashing folks as I go about my day.
I'm having a bit of cheeky fun and challenging the status quo.
Now, can I ask you, if any man, any man, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, any man were flashing themselves in the streets of New York and he said, I'm just having a little bit of cheeky fun.
I don't think I don't think, I don't think we'd tolerate it.
I think we would say that that's somebody who's really kind of, really should be, you know, maybe at least spoken to.
She said, nudity is such an important part of my life.
I don't understand why anyone has negative feelings about being naked.
Well, some of us have to look at ourselves in the mirror and we have the common sense not to inflict that on others.
We're all born this way.
We have to embrace our own bodies.
Anyway, she said, there's been some moments, though, that have, she said, I was flashing on an elevator.
I don't.
Okay.
I was flashing on an elevator.
Now, get that in your mind.
You have that in your mind, Stu?
Sure do.
And then a man walked in while I had my leg up against the wall.
Okay.
It's going well.
So was she in a glass elevator?
I'm trying to figure out how the he was shocked.
I was a little embarrassed the rest of the ride down.
I've had some negative comments, but I don't let the haters get me down.
Uh-huh.
Well, okay.
She said, if you don't like it, don't look.
Well, if you're in an elevator and, you know, you got your leg up in the in the stirrup there that apparently is in some elevators I didn't know, but maybe in New York, you know, it's probably not something you can look away from fast enough.
I'm just saying.
I mean, I don't know.
If you're flashing in an elevator and it's not, as you mentioned, a glass elevator, in some ways, it's not really flashing as long as you're just clear by the time the door opens.
Right?
Like, I mean, it's, you're just in a kind of a private box unless people are watching you on the monitors.
Who knew it was, I thought it was one-way glass.
I thought it was one-way glass.
I didn't realize it was two-way.
Really?
Really?
Okay.
Well, maybe, maybe.
Let's not pick that up.
She said everybody should be bicycling at least once in their life, nude.
Nope.
Nope.
My wife and I were trapped in London with a nude bike race.
It lasted about 20 minutes and there wasn't one single person that looked good naked on a bike.
