Americans Will Wig Out If North Korea Unleashes This Disruption

How do you solve a problem like North Korea? The rogue country has amassed nuclear weapons and missile technology, along with guns and robotic launchers along its 150 mile border. They could easily kill tens of thousands of people in Seoul in neighboring South Korea --- not to mention the 30,000 or so U.S. troops stationed there.

"We don't want any American soldiers to die, but at least soldiers know that they're in there and can be called upon at any time to fight," Doc Thompson said Tuesday, filling in for Glenn on radio

And if the situation escalates? What if North Korean has the capability to hit, say, Seattle by the end of President Trump's first term?

"The guy is crazy enough to do it, and then you've got all the malware attacks and whatever. How long before they release something that shuts us down? And think about this, folks, if we have a disruption in our internet capability . . . it doesn't even have to be electronic . . . if we have that for a day, Americans will wig out.

Enjoy this complimentary clip or read the transcript for details.

DOC: Hey, there it's Doc Thompson. We'll get some of your calls about what we're supposed to do about North Korea being somebody that is torn between helping people that are truly oppressed and caring about human rights and my fellow man as a Christian but also somebody who says it's not our responsibility to police the world. And North Korea's going to be a quagmire if we get involved. Even if we do good there, there will be as many pain that we're going to have to endure. Likely something is amping up. We are coming to a head one way or another with this. I don't know if it's tomorrow or six months from now. But eventually, we're going to have to deal with North Korea, whatever that is. It could just be some sort of cyber attack that we unleash. It could be something more militarily. Based on what happened over the weekend, I wouldn't be shocked if we see something today or tomorrow. If it doesn't happen today or tomorrow, it will be weeks down the road.

BRANDON: You think from our side?

DOC: From our side. What happened over the weekend is likely to spur Trump and our allies to take some sort of action.

BRANDON: Yeah.

DOC: They launched another missile. This was a -- this was yesterday. It was a asked you-type missile, and they keep increasing the technology and the payload that it can carry. The one over the weekend went into the Sea of Japan where ships come and trade. That's where it landed, clearly trying to intimidate them. And this has gotten more accurate and closer to Japan than some of the other ones in the past. Japan of course is pissed. They freaked out. South Korea is freaked out. They immediately called for an emergency meeting of the security counsel. Trump was speaking with them soon after it happened as well. The president of South Korea called for that emergency meeting. Now, Kim Jong-un has only been in power for six years. Okay? And he's already tested more missiles than his father and grandfather did combined. So his father Kim Il-sung tested 16 over his administration. His father Kim Jong-il tested 15. And Kim Jong-un, 78. 16 and 15 for their entire administration. Their entire rule, and he's done 78 in six years.

BRANDON: Maybe you can help me out on this because I'm very confused. After the sanctions were passed not long ago like in 2016, Kim Jong-un responded by building these high-rises in Pyongyang to make sure that everyone still knew he was the boss man; right? The problem is they didn't have the necessary materials for this high-rise. They actually had to skimp on a lot. In order to compensate, they went to people's residences and said give me your pots and pans, any kind of metal that you have so that we can actually put it into this high-rise.

BRAD: Melt them down.

BRANDON: Melting them down. If they didn't have anything to give, by the way, the fine them. So if they don't have the necessary materials build a high-rise in Pyongyang, how are they getting all of the material they need to throw into all of the missiles for all of these tests?

DOC: They're getting a lot of it from the black market but also over the years from China. China has been their up front trading partners. And I think part of the reason they're amping up now is China is caught. If they want to keep the money coming from the U.S. without us buying their cheap crap, they have to appease us a little bit. And that 38 parallel is not -- what do they care if North Korea became part of South Korea? It became a republic, a democracy. They're still right there. It's not going to be as big of a deal as it used to be. South Korea is already in the region. So they've been putting more economic pressure on North Korea saying we're not going to trade with you as much. They've turned back their coal ships, so North Korea is reluctantly to sell. Many experts say that they think the pace North Korea's on with building their missiles that they can reach -- could reach Seattle and carry one of their own built nuclear warhead before the end of Trump's administration. His first term.

BRAD: Well, that's what Kim Jong-un has said. The bigger gift packages to the United States is what they're working on. A bigger gift package to the United States after successfully launching that.

DOC: Either that's lost in translation.

BRANDON: A little strange.

DOC: Or is it being snarky or maybe turning over a new leaf. Sorry about that missile. I've got a big gift package for you coming. It's a nice fruit basket. It will have some CDs in it. How do you feel --

BRANDON: No, this is North Korea. They're still on tape.

BRAD: Cassettes.

BRANDON: I've got some mix tapes coming your way.

DOC: I've got some cassettes. I've made them myself. Kim Jong-un giving speeches of himself on tape. All of those classes that he took. You know. It's highly likely that North Korea was also responsible for that cyber attack, that malware one that hit 150 countries, a bunch of banks a couple of weeks ago. It looks like Russia may have got the technology from the NSA by hacking part of it. And then tried to sell it on the world stage. That's one of the allegations and were not successful. But that North Korea then put it into use. And North Korea has its own floor of people that do nothing but hacking, and they're really good at it. This is something we've known for a while. So if that's true, something they call malware exportation, it may be responsible for some of the past attacks, the one that was Sony a couple of years ago. This is now a national security threat by itself. And then the continued missile testing and the fact that they have nuclear capabilities. What are we going to do? Should we do anything? Is it actually a threat? Your calls coming up next on the Glenn Beck Radio Program.

[break]

DOC: Doc Thompson for Glenn today. Joining me brag stags and also Brandon Morse as well from The Blaze. We do get to some of your calls, the aggressions, specifically the missiles that North Korea has launched in the few months onshore so. But let's go right to North Carolina and Henry. How are you? Hey, Henry, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. How are you?

CALLER: Fine how are you?

DOC: Doing well. So what do we do about North Korea?

CALLER: Well, first of all, what we do is test our NATO allies, choke them off and see which allies are really with us. And it's a test for both worlds and the blockades have always worked throughout history. I haven't -- I don't recall one that did not work, so, to me, -- and then if it pushes them into the aggression, then they're the aggressors.

DOC: The sanctions that we put in place over the years have been somewhat effective. We've put them on the hook sometimes. But recently, we haven't. In fact, we have China saying we're not going to take their coal, they've turned back their ships, and then China is not trading to send them goods. So there are effectively blockades in place. Maybe not to the extreme you're talking about. And then secondarily, if it pushes them into being the aggressor, that makes us look better. But it still doesn't make us look better stopping the almost 30,000 U.S. troops in South Korea, Seoul, Japan, it still doesn't deal with the problem, does it?

CALLER: Well, if China has them cut off by land, they're cutting off the gas supplies and whatnot, then the last thing left is cutting them off by sea. So my thinking would be that if we cut them off in both areas, and we are walking hand and hand with China so to speak and then like I said, NATO is a big issue right now, and we test to see who would like to send a ship or two to also help because the world needs to take on the problem. But we need to take a lead.

DOC: Henry, thank you so much for the call. I appreciate it.

BRANDON: My problem with this is that Kim Jong-un is a vindictive person. When he feels like he's been slighted or if he feels he's been made to look weak, he reacts in very odd ways. Like I said earlier, he built a whole series of high-rises in Pyongyang with money that he doesn't have. If the world gangs up on him, his mentality, the Juche mentality that all North Koreans are hammered with will kick in, and he'll pretty much lash out on everybody.

DOC: Well, he's a crazy man.

BRANDON: He's insane.

DOC: Let's go to Bill in California. Bill, you're on the Glenn Beck Radio Program. How are you?

CALLER: Yeah, this whole thing with the missiles. Number one, I think they're giving us free targets to practice our antimissile capabilities. Only downside is if they fail, then these people are going to go, oh, we can't do that because we'll look bad. I think we should just take advantage of that and use that we do have ships over there, et cetera. The other thing is President Trump needs to -- he's already talking to Japan and South Korea, and they need to tell these people just like they did with NATO. Look, all of this is costing us a fortune. The ships, the men, the missiles, everything. And you guys if you want us to help you, we need some financial help or some kind of help that's real. You know, some real materials or whatever it is because we're broke. We're 20 trillion in debt and growing.

DOC: Well, Bill, I get that. But how do we -- first of all, should we take some sort of action at this point? Based on their --

CALLER: Yeah, this guy just like you just said. You know, he's vindictive. This guy is not going to change.

DOC: So we have to go in and nip it. Just take out the snake.

CALLER: We have to because it's like a -- it's like the PLOs and the Israelis. It's going to go on forever. But this guy isn't going to wait forever.

DOC: Do you say that based on America's national security. Is that your motivating force here?

CALLER: Well, it's not just ours. We have obligations to our allies. Okay. You've got this gun, and you've built all of this stuff up and now you're going to do nothing? Because all we've had so far is just lip flapping, so to speak. We're saying this and that and the other but no action, and we need some action. And it's, like. Okay. Everybody's afraid of World War III. Well, you know, this guy is shooting missiles. And it's, like, he's threatening, and he has to be stopped.

DOC: Well, the reason I ask that -- the reason I ask your motivations, and I agree with you with those points as well. Thanks so much for the call. The reason I ask that, the DMZ is about two and a half miles wide, and it is one of the, if not the most fortified border on the planet. North Korea has amassed, aside from nukes and aside from missile technology, they have amassed guns, robotic launchers, I mean, it is on that border. All 150 miles coast to coast. It is just lined. It is thick. Seoul is 30 miles or so from the DMZ. Pyongyang isn't that much from the other side. They can easily kill tens of thousands of people in Seoul. Soul has about 20 million people. More than New York. New York has about 7.5 million or so in the city in the metropolitan tin area, so 15 total. It's more populated than New York, just to give you some perspective.

If we go in and American soldiers die, and I think there's about 30,000 in South Korea, we don't want any American soldiers to die. But at least soldiers know that they're in there and can be called upon at any time to fight. But the other Americans that are there and the South Korean's who are a partner, they're going to die. There are going to be people die. So I don't know if we can stop them from dying. But then again, if you say this is going to get really bad, and they could hit Seattle, you know, by the end of Trump's first term with a nuke and the guy is crazy enough to do it, and then you've got all the malware attacks and whatever, how long before they release something that shuts us down? And think about this, folks, if we have a disruption in our Internet capability. It doesn't even have to be electronic. If we have that for a day, Americans will wig out.

BRAD: Yeah, 20 minutes without Internet. Those commercials.

BRANDON: The economy will take a hard dive too. I mean, it will. That's a lot of where our business is right now.

DOC: Right. We've learned. And remember, the attack on 9/11 wasn't just about fear and the 3,000 people who died and the planes and the buildings. It was also an economic attack. Do you know how much damage they did with that alone? That's what terrorism does. It hits on all those fronts. There was a time I think three years ago or so where the EBT card system, which is just the electric benefits, electric food stamps --

BRANDON: Oh, I remember this story.

DOC: They're on, like, credit cards. It went down in six states for, like, ten hours or whatever it was for a Friday or Saturday.

BRANDON: I don't even know if it was that long.

DOC: A few hours.

BRANDON: Yeah.

DOC: It was chaos. People were looting. And I don't mean in the ghetto and the poor. It was average places that people said to hell with it if I want to swipe, I'm going. And the stores said we better let them go. That was just a few hours in six states. Imagine that not even the course of a week or two just a couple of days for awe of our Internet, technology, credit cards, or whatever. Think about what it does to all of us. It stops all plans we have. It stops us from booking flights, getting money out of the bank, people wig out, civil disobedience, the economy. If they unleash something like that.

BRAD: Our last caller said that they're giving us a lot of targets for antimissile system. The system has worked in fewer than half of its previous nine tests. So we're not doing real well on that front either.

DOC: We've tested some missiles recently as well, which is back and forth kind of a tit for tat. And we've got one now I think today there's a test that is specifically an intercepter one. If the missiles we will test today if we can hit somebody, it's if we could block a missile from coming in.

BRANDON: Didn't the IDF perfect this technology? I mean, their whole dome idea --

DOC: The iron dome.

BRANDON: Yeah, they can easily catch a missile in midair.

DOC: I don't know how perfected. But they've tested it, and it has worked. Let's get some calls. (888) 727-Beck. Let's go to Chris in Florida now. Chris, how are you?

CALLER: Oh, I'm fantastic. I love your discussion this morning. And, in fact, I've meet you before.

DOC: It was exciting, wasn't it?

BRANDON: He's tall.

DOC: Thank you so much. What do we do about North Korea?

CALLER: Well, I think we need to make it simple for everyone. The lesson of Neville Chamberlain is blatantly obvious. We cannot cower to bullies. Being nice to dictators doesn't ensure safety, in fact, it results in larger consequences later on. So the appeasement medal in Albright accomplished under previous regimes has essentially made them more powerful in their belligerence, and we have to let them know.

DOC: Is North Korea now at some point where we do something? And is North Korea different from other places that are bad that could be a threat? Even Iran I think is a step behind with their nuclear development. Is North Korea at that level now in your mind?

CALLER: Oh, absolutely. And I think we need to be consistent in our behavior and do this wherever we find bullying. We can't cower with bullies. It's as simple as that. You can't trade with people who are taking captives and doing bad things. You don't give them more tools so that they can do worse later, and that's exactly what we've done in North Korea. We have to stand up to them because the side effects are going to be worse. The collateral damage is going to be even worse. The more he learns and the more he finds it useful as a tool.

DOC: Well, listen, Chris, I appreciate your call this morning. And I agree with bullies, which is the reason I gave James on camera a noogie.

BRANDON: I took Jason's lunch money.

DOC: Well, you may be the problem. Let's go quickly to Pennsylvania to George. Good morning, sir. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

CALLER: Hey, Doc. The earliest how I see it is what is the longer term gain for North Korea by having a war? It seems to me that there is bigger benefit for them to be having a threat of using a weapon, unless they are in conspiracy with other countries that if you take a look at North Korea, what are they? They're nothing. And besides that, you talked about before about China turning back their coal, there's not. There have been reports that the coal trucks and the coal trains are rolling across the border anyway. The ships may be turning back, but they're going back over land. And so what is the benefit of North Korea having a war? I don't see it unless North Korea is just going to be the sacrificial punching bag where North Korea is the one that launches the EMP or the nuke or something like that.

DOC: So do you think we're okay right now, and we should just kind of ride this out a little bit?

CALLER: I think we should show strength. I think we could throw a few more sanctions on them. This is not a show of weakness. This is not a Neville Chamberlain moment. I think it's more. They've got more to lose by not having action.

DOC: Do we have the responsibility to people of North Korea that are being tortured to the inth degree?

CALLER: To a degree, yes. But we do not need to go charging in there to save them at our boys expense. It is not so much our problem, unfortunately. I don't want to come off as being heartless to those people. But there are some problems we can't solve.

DOC: I agree with that, George. Thank you so much for the call. I appreciate it. That makes a lot of sense. As far as sanctions, I don't know how much more you can do. But North Korea really is a suicide bomber.

BRAD: Yeah, that's what I was going to say. That's assigning logic to North Korea.

DOC: And he's crazy. Kim Jong-un is crazy. You can't be raised in that environment to believe all of this stuff and not, you know, be sizing things up. You've got yes-men around you that tell you that you're great. He's essentially a suicide bomber, and he doesn't know it.

BRANDON: Yeah.

DOC: He could kill tens of thousands of people.

BRANDON: Absolutely.

DOC: But he will be dead within hours. This is not a hold it out, we're going to have to hunt for him. He and his family and his regime, they will be obliterated. But the fear is that he will do a lot of damage beforehand. Back in a moment with more calls on the program. It's Doc Thompson in for Glenn

Beck.

[break]

DOC: Secretary of Defense Mattis was asked about North Korea, and he said a conflict with North Korea would probably be the worst kind of fighting in most people's lifetime. The bottom line is it would be a catastrophe, a catastrophic war if this turns into a combat. If we're not able to resolve this situation through diplomatic means. A bunch of people are going to die. It's going to be pretty rough. But they also asked on face the nation, they asked Mattis what keeps him up at night. Did you -- listen to this.

VOICE: What keeps you awake at night?

MATTIS: Nothing. I keep other people awake at night.

[Laughter]

BRAD: That's --

DOC: It almost sounds like a stop line. I am the danger.

BRANDON: I am the danger.

DOC: Right.

BRANDON: I am the one that has --

BRAD: How long has he had that line just waiting?

DOC: An entire bucket full of sayings that he --

BRANDON: How many does he have? He's out there saying all sorts of stuff. I'm saying this with tears in my eyes. Don't F with me, or I'll cull kill you. That's awesome.

DOC: Almost like the --

BRANDON: He has a writer. He has a team of writers in the back also working on the "Fast and Furious" movies.

DOC: That should give you a little bit of confidence. But the point is, if this guy, I keep people awake at night is telling you North Korea is going to be bad if we don't do something militarily, that's something -- that's the guy you walk in -- no, we can kick their ass; right? No, this is going to be really bad for some people. It's not going to be good.

Roseanne Barr PREDICTS what will happen if Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election

The “Queen of the Garbage People”, Roseanne Barr, joins Glenn a day before the 2024 Election with her predictions about what will immediately happen after the new president takes office. Whether it’s Trump or Harris, she believes something big is about to change. Roseanne also comments on some of the biggest stories ahead of the election: Biden is “the gift that keeps on giving,” she declares, after he referred to Trump supporters as “garbage”. Meanwhile, NBC and Saturday Night Live may be in hot water for featuring Kamala Harris, “the change person that’s done nothing in 4 years”, allegedly without inviting Donald Trump. Roseanne also explains what turned her into a Trump supporter and how Elon Musk stands for the 2 things the Left hates.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Birthday girl Roseanne Barr is on with us. Hey, Roseanne.

ROSEANNE: Hi, Glenn, how are you doing?

GLENN: Good. How was your birthday yesterday?

ROSEANNE: It was fantastic. It was a great birthday. I had all my kids. It was just great. All my kids and seven of my ten grandkids.

GLENN: Jeez.

ROSEANNE: And we had a lovely karaoke party. And everybody was really on it. It was great.

GLENN: That's great.

So you're the queen of the garbage people. How are you feeling?

ROSEANNE: Oh, I am. I just -- I'm feeling royal.

GLENN: Yeah. I bet you are.

I --

ROSEANNE: Yeah. It was the greatest -- you know, sometimes. I think I told you before. Sometimes I wonder if that -- well, first, I think it's Jim Carrey in a mask.

But that Biden guy, he is the gift that keeps on giving.

Isn't he?

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. It's crazy. It's crazy. Even -- even Saturday Night Live, did something on that. Well, they -- you know, they did an ad campaign for Kamala. Did you see that on Saturday, by any chance?

ROSEANNE: No. I can't stay up that late. What happened?

GLENN: Oh, they just did this advertising campaign. One of the FCC commissioners came out and said, this was a clear violation.

It was honestly, the open. It started with every lie about Donald Trump. You know, I'm trying to kill Liz Cheney. And all of this stuff.

And then Kamala Harris was actually on. Not funny. But actually on it. You know, doing a -- a very pro, hey, I'm the change person.

Which that is just bizarre. Just bizarre.

ROSEANNE: Yeah. The change person that has done nothing in four years.

GLENN: Yeah. So Roseanne, when you were on TV, we've talked about this.

When you were on TV, ABC did not want you to do, you know, didn't want you to have anybody that was a Trump supporter. And you thought, well, that's exactly what is -- would be going on, around this table.

Somebody has to do it. And when --

ROSEANNE: I had a conversation, for when they asked me to come back. And they wanted to hear my ideas, of course.

I went out to lunch with Bob Iger.

At a really lovely place there in Beverly hills.

I can't remember the name. But it was really good.

And I told him, you know, I want to bridge the divide.

Because I thought it was so -- well, the reason why I said I would do it. Is because I felt like our country was in peril. And that my voice could be useful. In reminding people, that, you know, we don't all have to think exactly alike.

Because this is a free country. Where we have liberty and freedom of speech.

And that was what I felt like was being compromised.

And I was scared. So I came back for that. And I told Bob Iger.

I intend to show a Trump hater, and a Hillary hater, in the same family.

But they still love each other, you know.

They still love each other. Because they're family.

Oh, everybody loved that.

At first, until -- until it happened. And I guess, these people their -- they're in weird positions. Like, their publicist. Their publicist -- those are real censors.

And once they got the publicists in there, and then they start -- you know, you start getting the writers.

And I wanted the writers from my original show because they knew me.

So you have a lot of them. And I got Tom Warner. He hired one of these woke -- he hired a few wokes to come on there.

And, you know, I -- I felt like, well, you've got to include them, because they're a voice in the whole apparatus too!

GLENN: Right.

ROSEANNE: But the way the woke beat everybody in the writers room down, you know, it was hard to go in there. But I still did it. Because I was like, well, this show is for the viewer. Not fort writers. You know.

GLENN: Right.

So you didn't know that it would turn out the way it did.

Is that what -- what turns you into such a Trump supporter?

ROSEANNE: Well, because I ran for president in 2012. And a lot of the ideas that I had, Trump started talking about. In 2015.

And I was -- my narcissism kicked in, as well as, my -- you know, joy that somebody else could see, we have the ability to solve every problem, that plagues our nation.

GLENN: Yeah.

ROSEANNE: And that should be done.

And so, you know, I -- I -- I loved his thinking.

I could see that it was very visionary.
And, you know, ultimately, very healing. It made an us out of everyone in our country. Rather than an us and them, like -- like, you know, the panderers are -- are making money selling, because it is us.

GLENN: Do you find it -- find it almost -- I mean, honestly, I find it hard to believe that this election is this close.

With everything that has gone wrong in this administration.

ROSEANNE: I know.

GLENN: I mean, what is it -- what is it that half the country is missing?

ROSEANNE: Well, they're voting for their jobs.

It's less than half. It's about -- I think -- I think they say 34 percent or something like that.

But they all work for the government. So when Trump talks about reorganizing the government, they think, you know, they're going to lose their job.

Because, you know, a lot of us that go down to the DMV, or any of these other government job sites, you know, you're treated like crap.

And nobody knows what the hell they're doing.

And they're just arrogant as hell. And stupid. A lot of them.

Not all of them. But, you know, that's why they vote that way. Because they're arrogant. And they're voting for what they consider their own self-interest, above the country.

But the fact is, I say, once they figure out, that the Democrats have taken their retirement and their benefits away, because they sent it to Ukraine, they're going to be really pissed.

And then they'll be Trump supporters too.

GLENN: Do you think the Elon Musk.

I mean, boy, be they're after that guy.

ROSEANNE: Oh, yeah. If Trump doesn't win, they will take down Elon number one. He's their big energy. Because he's for freedom of speech. And, of course, two things I say they hate is, one, dialogue and, two, humor.

GLENN: Uh-huh. They always have.

ROSEANNE: It is true.

GLENN: They always have.

ROSEANNE: Yeah.

GLENN: The idea that if Trump doesn't win -- you know, I think we're looking at a time, if he wins, the mainstream media, I think is over.

Because there won't be a government to save them, and bail them out. And they've lost everything. If she wins --

ROSEANNE: I know. And that's great. That is great.

Because then, the people -- and actual journalists thinking about the country.

Will replace it. And they already have. The Joe Rogan thing. I told Joe, congratulations.

You killed the legacy ahead. And that happened.

GLENN: He did. He did.

However, if she wins, I think we're doomed.

I think the --

ROSEANNE: If she wins, you know, I will reference the movie that I reference.

And everybody should watch planet of the apes.

It's a very popular movie. But it's about a militarized police force that comes and locks you up for saying the wrong things.

That's what it's basically about. It's about fascism. And if she wins, number one, or two, there will be another lockdown immediately.

There will be a lockdown. You know, because they've got to get their -- they have to get their ducks in a row for what they're doing.

Which is siphoning public money, and putting it into private pockets. That's what they're about.

That's what Marxism is. And I wish that people would understand it. And, you know, I ran as a socialist in 2012, because I lived in a socialist state. Hawaii.

And we -- us farmers, we tried to get Monsanto, the hell out of there, with their Roundup.

Well, that's what spurred me on, to see how a socialist state existed. You know, what it does.

And what it did. When I was studying about how we were going to grow organic and heirloom crops there.

Because I'm a farmer there.

GLENN: Right.

ROSEANNE: So it was about Roundup and Monsanto and everything.

So I said, wait a minute. This is a socialist state, and I gave this speech.

This is a socialist state.

So, of course, the state would be about helping the health of children.

Right?

So they did some studies on the effect of Roundup on the children of Hawaii. And so, you know -- and, you know what, there wasn't one study.

And I said that.

This state -- this state of the people has not done one study about the long range effects of the taking of this island.

And they just freaked out.

But I said, this is what it is.

When the state owns the universities and when Monsanto, becomes part of the state, and finds the universities, you're not going to get any studies about what Roundup does to your kids.

Hello. There you go right there. And it was like -- I wanted to see for myself, how things work on the left.

Because I already had my suspicions. Because to me, as a socialist, all those years.

The only thing I kept on hearing was how we had to keep killing the Jews in Israel.

That's what happened while I was a leftist.

And when I was a leftist with my parents, who were leftists. Socialists.

It never was that.

Then everybody was pro the Jewish people getting, you know, access back to their -- you know -- you know, their homeland.

And they were called the indigenous of Palestine at that time.

They had Palestinian.

All this stuff they turned around.

Because they just. Well, they just rewrite everything. Like Monsanto rewrites all the rules of science.

So that you don't actually have a control group.

Which is the entire basis of science!

GLENN: You know, it's amazing to me, how really, the conservative and liberals have switched places on almost everything.
ROSEANNE: Yeah. Totally.

GLENN: It's crazy, how we're not with the big business. They are. We're not for big war. They are.

ROSEANNE: Yeah. We're not for forced injections by, you know, people that are -- headquartered in Germany. Hello! I'm telling you.

GLENN: I know. Roseanne, it's good to talk to you. Happy birthday.

ROSEANNE: Thank you so much. I'm 72, and now I feel like I can really do everything I want finally.

GLENN: That's great. Great.

ROSEANNE: So, you know, I've put a lot of my energy to try to save our country. And I'm not going to quit.

And my prayer is that everybody wakes up. That God wakes them up.

When they want to be woke up or not.

And they will just listen to what I'm saying. Because I think I'm very smart. And that they will vote for Trump.

Thank you, Glenn!

GLENN: Thank you. God bless you, Roseanne.

Thanks. Roseanne Barr.

Why Peanut the Squirrel PERFECTLY summarizes the 2024 election

The internet was outraged after the euthanization of social media star Peanut the Squirrel by New York authorities, along with his housemate Fred the Raccoon. The pet squirrel was forcibly taken from his home in an all-out raid after a neighbor reported that he might have rabies. And somehow, it quickly turned into a rallying cry for the MAGA crowd against government tyranny. Glenn and Stu review the story, which proves we’re living in “Clown World,” as Glenn’s new book, “Propaganda Wars,” describes. Is this just a distraction, or is there a legitimate reason why this is the top story a day before the 2024 election? The truth is more shocking than Glenn and Stu expected …

GLENN: Do I think this is the weaponization of government?

Yes. Some anonymous person made a complaint. Apparently said, he might have rabies. The person came in without the permission of the people, and grabbed him, and he bit him.

Of course he did! My dog might bite you too if you are aggressive to my family.

What the hell is this? Now, I don't know about you. But I suspect Karen.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: That's what I -- that's who I suspect.

All Karens should be investigated today. And let me make this promise. If Donald Trump is elected, oh, all the Karens will be investigated. And probably, probably put in a camp someplace.

They're already building it, you know they are.

STU: This is an insane story.

GLENN: Insane.

STU: And it is so bizarre, when you're talking about the actual content of what occurred here.

You're talking about a squirrel and a raccoon, living as a pet. All of that. It is also one of the most egregious abuses of government power, I can ever remember.

It's like one of those things similar to -- like women's sports, where we talk about the transgender issue. There's a million different things that are really important about the transgender issue. Women's sports is not probably number one. The fact that a lot of medals get taken away.

It's dramatic. I have a girl, this might happen to. It's concerning. It's not the most serious part. It's the part that brings it home. Like the most. Right?

Moms and dads are like, wait a minute, my daughter will get hit in the face with a volleyball at 120 miles an hour. What are we talking about here? Right?

GLENN: Right.

STU: This is kind of in a weird way, sort of the same.

GLENN: It is! It is.

STU: You don't think about, it's a squirrel being killed. They get run over 9 trillion times a day.

GLENN: You know, can you stop just holding up the squirrel while you forget Fred the raccoon?

STU: I know, he's getting the shaft. Poor Fred.

GLENN: Poor Fred.

STU: But, I mean, if they will do this to a family, that is -- has documented all of this millions of millions of people. Followed this.

They see the squirrel is the little most adorable thing, jumping around. And the fact that they would do this.

GLENN: It's crazy.

STU: Knowing how visible it was. Just shows that they don't care. You think they care about you?

These people have millions and millions of people watching their daily life with this.

They took the squirrel and murdered it!

For no reason at all! In the most visible way possible.

They will not care about what your little complaint is.

Let me just point out, for no reason possible?

STU: No reason.

GLENN: Really? Okay.

Let me just quote Jen, early voter, Reuben from the Washington Post.

STU: Oh, God.

GLENN: Quote, the MAGA squirrel deserved to die. Now, I think this is both an absolutely ridiculous clown world story.

But I also think, it is a microcosm of everything this election is about.

Everything!

You know, they called Donald Trump vengeful.

They're going to get the MAGA squirrel, and kill him!

These people with peace in their hearts.

These animal lovers. The ones who just love the planet. Take an innocent squirrel.

That if he had a MAGA hat on, I can guarantee you, he didn't know what the hat was.

Not that he didn't know it was a MAGA hat!
He didn't even know it was a hat! And they kill him! This is nuts.

STU: Is that a squirrel joke?

GLENN: You've got a squirrel joke?

STU: You just said, it's nuts. You said, this is nuts. That's the ultimate squirrel joke. You made it, and didn't even realize it.
(laughter)

STU: I am really shocked by this, though.

I don't know -- I don't know, it's funny. Because I don't -- did the -- did the people who the parents -- did the parents of the squirrel, are their politics known at all?

Like, are they?

GLENN: I don't know. Apparently, she deleted this post, because she started to get hammered for it.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: But Jen Reuben, Washington Post. She seems to know, it was a MAGA squirrel. I haven't asked the squirrels in my area, who they're for.

So there's no little teeny squirrel signs that I've seen for Trump, around any of the trees that I have in my house.

STU: I have heard that particular squirrel, peanut, supports lower corporate taxes.

So I'm concerned.

But it became a political issue. Not because --

GLENN: Everything is political!

STU: But not because -- as far as I know, these were like big MAGA people, who had a squirrel.

It's because the people who want your squirrel to live, are conservatives!

The people who don't want the government to have the power, to invade your home. And take your pets.

And murder them, for no reason, that's now a political issue!

Because the left wants the government to have that power!

They do. They want them to be able to do that. And they might say, well, I love my pet.

What are you talking about?

I love my pet, and I'm voting for Kamala Harris.

It doesn't matter, what you're advocating for is the power of the government to be able to do this stuff to you.

GLENN: And you believe that it will never do it to you!

STU: Uh-huh, which is selfish, by the way. Incredibly selfish.

That you don't care about anybody else, because you don't think it might happen to you.

That's not -- that's an incredibly selfish, instinct. You have that already.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Who did I see over the weekend, talk about, you know, people wonder how -- people just in Germany, just went full-fledged Nazi. And he said, look, what happened with COVID.

He's like, I'll bet you, at least 30 percent of our population, couldn't wait to turn a neighbor in!

Because it signaled their virtue.

STU: First among them, Tim Walz, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah. Put a hotline up. A hotline up.

STU: Report your neighbors.

If they're not handling an illness the way you want them to.

GLENN: That's unbelievable.

STU: This man, might be vice president, after he did that. Just that.

Forget the fact that he allowed cities to burn to the ground. And the other crap that he's been doing.

GLENN: Well, this time. This time, they're not taking any chances.

They have put the National Guard on standby, in Seattle, Washington.

Portland. And Washington, DC.

You know, all those deeply red areas.
(laughter)
A lot of tiki torchers, parades going on.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. They're worried about all the Trump supporters there.

STU: Well, Jussie Smollett is one of the first, that let us know, that MAGA country is not exactly where we think it is.

Sometimes it's downtown Chicago, sometimes it's Portland, Oregon. Right. That's MAGA country, for you.

GLENN: Yeah. Well, we have infiltrated all those areas with the squirrels.

So and they are pissed.

6 things Trump WILL FIX in a second presidential term

6 things Trump WILL FIX in a second presidential term

If Donald Trump is elected to a second term as president, many things will change. Glenn predicts that we will no longer be on a direct path to global war, the bureaucracy will be cleaned up, many illegal immigrants will be deported, the nonstop lies will end, migrant crime will go down, and the government will stop persecuting pro-life protesters. Even Californians are starting to wake up to the reality of leftist policies. But has America really had enough?

GLENN: I think Trump is doing an amazing job. He's giving us the campaign I hoped he was going to give us. But I really didn't think he would. You know, everybody bought into, including me, that he was going to be, you know. I lost the election. They're after me.

And kind of a -- you know, a grudge tour. Because I think I would have been tempted to do that. But he hasn't. He has been fun, funny. Relatable.

He's -- he's not doing any grudge stuff.

In fact, this week, he said, and I disagree with this. But he said, I even consider pardoning Hunter Biden.

You know, I hope not.

But, I mean, he's not holding grudges. He's just doing the work for the American people.

And I think that's because he's been out on the road, every day, for what? A year and a half?

He said, last night. Remember, he will become a dictator. He will never leave office.

He said, last night, this is kind of sad. We're six days away from the election.

And I won't be doing this stuff anymore.

I won't be traveling around. This has really been fun, to do this. Since 2016.

And last six days of doing it. So he's not going to be doing rallies anymore. I guess that's just because he -- he becomes a dictator, and a Nazi. And then he doesn't do rallies anymore. Because Hitler never did rallies.

Anyway, some of the things that this election is about, that it's really, really important. Because this will decide which way we turn.

For instance, war.

One vote, I truly believe is a vote for global war.

And not that Kamala wants it. Although, I actually think the people around her, do.

If you listen to her acceptance speech, it was like neocon central. I mean, I've never heard anything like it, from a Democrat. They were saying, we've got to go get them!

Scary. Really scary.

If you choose Kamala, I think not only do some of the people around her, want war. The machine wants war.

But also, she's so incompetent, that all of our enemies are going to come out of the woodwork.

Donald Trump, if he's elected on the other hand, I mean, he said, just yesterday, he is telling Benjamin Netanyahu, this war, you've got to be finished before I get into office because it's got to be finished.

We're done. We're done. He also said that with the Ukrainian conflict, that that will be done, as well. I believe both of those. And we have two people, on record. We have Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, who said they were going to end all the wars. He increased the wars.

He killed more people. Donald Trump, first president in probably my lifetime, that didn't start any new wars.

In fact, was ending them.

And that's just coming from strength. Now there's a story in the New York Times today, the U.S. Army prepares for war with China!

New vehicles. Face paint. And a 1200-foot fall. From the New York Times. A big and cumbersome army is trying to transform itself to deploy quickly to Asia, if needed.

Early one morning this month, 864 Army paratroopers bundled into a C-17 transport plane, and from a base in Alaska.

And took off for the great power war, exercise between three volcanic mountains on Hawaii's Big Island.

Only 492 made it. Some of the C-17s had trouble with their doors, while others were forced to land early.

A few of the parachutes, who did make it, or parachutist that did make it landed with sprained ankles or suffered head trauma.

And one 19-year-old private began to fall quickly when his chute didn't open. Good heavens!

So we're preparing for war, and we're telling everybody, how incompetent we are!

We're becoming the former Soviet Union.

That will end! Under Donald Trump.


Let's see. There's another story today. House COVID panel, refers Andrew Cuomo for potential prosecution.

Why? Stu, I know you -- hey. I know you love Andrew Cuomo, huh?

STU: I do. Oh, yes.

GLENN: What did he do that was so wrong?

STU: How many people do you have to kill, to be classified as wrong? What's the number on that?

I know Jeffrey Dahmer got a special. Maybe it has to be more than him.

The Menendez brothers seem to be under that line. Whatever the line is, he's above it, though.

The fact that when you take COVID positive patients. And shove them into nursing homes with the most vulnerable people.

You should be prosecuted for all sorts of things.

GLENN: Yeah. And what they're talking about here is not just, you know, killing people.

Cuomo was accused of engaging in conscious, calculated effort to avoid accountability for his handling of nursing homes. Where thousands of people died of COVID.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: So they will go after him, for really, basically, the cover-up.

So that ends.

By the way, colleges, must pay up for COVID-19 vaccine mandate injuries.

That's from the G.O.P.

That's going to end!

This whole -- this whole mandate crap?

It's over if Donald Trump comes in. In fact, I think Fauci and the entire CDC and the FDA, all of this stuff. Donald Trump said last night. That's what he's giving to -- to RFK.

To clean house!

Go in, and clean this up.

That is a huge, massive, massive change.

By the way, something else that will change. Probably the immigration status of a lot of people.

Those who came here illegally, are going to be removed, under Donald Trump can.

Now, so you know, the left pretends this is impossible.

The guy who exported more illegals, than any other president in history, was Bill Clinton! He -- he removed 11 million illegals from our country. And I didn't even know that fact. Did you? I had no idea!

So it has been done in the past. And it can be done again.

And, by the way, that was, you know, 25 years ago, with a smaller population, than we have now.

And nobody really noticed it.

So what's the problem this time?

Also, do you remember the German family. Their immigrants, they came here.

In exile.

Because Germany was banning homeschooling.

And they were going to take their children away. Because they were teaching them about God, and everything else.

And so they came here.

For exile. And Barack Obama wanted to kick them out.

Joe Biden has wanted to kick them out. And they live year to year. And they are doing really, really well.

Everybody in their community, they love these guys.

I think that will change. Their status, Joe Biden just gave them another year to stay here, before he kicks them out.

I think possibly, Donald Trump will give them the freedom to stay here, and maybe citizenship, if they want it.

I think they do, quite badly. The other thing that will end, the non-stop lies. Do you remember the gunman that shot the Jewish man, walking to a synagogue.

He was in Chicago's West Rogers Park neighborhood. He shot a guy walking in to the synagogue. The police arrest him. After there's a shoot-out. Okay?

With him.

The police say, well, we're not sure what the motive was.

Okay. It was a Jewish guy going into the synagogue, and his name is Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi.

Okay. I'm pretty sure -- I've got a guess on what the motive might be. A shooting of somebody going into the synagogue.

Might. Might. Could be wrong.

But, of course, police don't know at this point. So they won't say anything.

Even though, witnesses have said, he screamed, Allahu Akbar! We don't know what that means. He just was like looking at the trees going, God is great! That could be it. Oh, and also, another quick little fact, that has just come out.

He's an illegal alien. He came across our border illegally. So yet another shooting, that didn't need to happen, and won't, under Donald Trump.

There is a huge sea tile change in this country, that is happening. People have had enough. Even people in California, according to new statewide polling, Californians are posed to pass billions in new spending, and approve new spending powers, while also cracking down on crime!

This is a part that you need to hear. Statewide Public Policy Institute of California poll, found 73 percent of voters support Proposition 36. Which -- now, this is crazy. I want you to know.

This would allow for felony charges, for serial thieves and major drug crimes. Now, this is the opposite of what passed in 2014.

Proposition 47, that turned the drug crimes and the theft crimes into misdemeanors.

And it would also create a treatment mandated felony, crime class, that would allow individuals to complete mental health or substance abuse treatment, instead of going to prison.

But this proposition 47 was -- was sold to the voters of California. It's going to save us money.

Uh-huh.

It's going to reduce prison populations.

It did that. And we're going to invest the money in social programs, that will reduce future crime.

Yeah. Those things didn't happen. Increased crime?

Trial no-shows. People are just like, I'm not going to show up.

What are they going to do? And people committing the same crime, over and over and over again.

Once they are caught. Californians have had enough of this BS.

What do you think the rest of the country is going to say?

Also, I just want to throw this in. Stop drinking the poison that the rest of the Western world is -- is drinking right now.

Do you remember the guy, who in England, he went in to some dance recital class. And it was a Taylor Swift-themed dance class. He killed three children. Six, seven, and nine years old.

Six other girls and two adults were also injured. This is what caused all of the uprisings. Now, what was the government saying? What were the people saying?

The people were saying that this guy is a -- an immigrant that came in, and is not loyal to the crown. They're not loyal to the ideas of the West.

He's an Islamic terrorist. Well, everyone went crazy. You can't say that!

What are you talking about? He was just a good UK citizen, just gone wrong.

Uh-huh. And remember what they said, about the people.

The people who were marching in the streets, saying, this has got to stop.

They called them extremists, and Nazis, and everything else.

They said for months, that this was not a terrorist institute. Well, now that everybody has forgotten, they have decided to charge him with terror.

Not only was he found in cahoots with al-Qaeda and having al-Qaeda documents in his room, but they also found that he was making ricin for a bigger attack.

Now, this is something, the government knew, had to have known, at the time. But they allowed the press and government officials, to take their own citizens who were -- who were concerned about terrorists being in their neighborhoods.

And being swept off as heroes. They called them garbage.

There is a sea change coming. There is a sea change coming.

So those things are going to stop, immediately, under Donald Trump.

Now, if Harris wins, what gets worse?

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

'Yellowstone' Star’s Fight to Make America ‘Cowboy’ Again | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 234

Do you know why a cowboy takes his hat off before dinner? Forrie J. Smith from "Yellowstone" says it’s all part of the “cowboy culture.” In this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Forrie recounts his career — from cowboy to stuntman to beloved actor — and that one time he had to track down “illegals” wreaking havoc on his ranch at the U.S.-Mexico border. He and Glenn discuss the decline in American beef, how social media has created political silos, and the transgender agenda being pushed on America’s youth in public schools. “When you start messing with my children ... with my animals, you crossed a line,” Forrie says, which is why he isn’t afraid to ask the questions that make most actors' knees buckle. Will the 2024 election be secure? What will be done with all the fentanyl flowing across our open border? Forrie isn’t worried about what the rich and powerful think. As he says, they’ll come looking for him when disaster strikes because he can “survive with a knife.” With all his success, he’s most proud that everywhere he’s lived he’s been called a “good neighbor,” even by that one neighbor with “different politics,” who wants to relocate the rattlesnakes in the front yard when Forrie would rather just shoot them.
