Bold, reverence, and occasionally random. The Sunday Hang with Clay
and Buck podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It starts now, I'm spending the weekend with my with
my parents. My family is visiting me my freedom Bunker,
and we are going to be watching a movie which
we'll be talking about, I think more next week, which
is this Dennis Quaid, John Voyd Reagan movie. And I
can't tell you I'm excited. I'm looking forward to seeing this.
(00:28):
I think it's gonna I've looked at the trailer and
I'm gonna be watching the whole movie tonight actually, so
I think it'll be really good. And yeah, that's that's
what I've got on tap. I'm gonna be watching a movie,
checking out the latest and and I think that from
what I can tell, I mean, this is gonna be
This is gonna be a movie a lot of you
would enjoy as well. So I'll give you my full
(00:48):
review after I see it tonight. And and yeah, i'll
tell you know. I've also been reading a book that
I have to give him credit, So Jesse Kelly Reckon.
You know, he's very tall, but he also is very
well read. And it's called The Last Crusade by Warren
(01:08):
Carroll a very interesting take on the Spanish Civil War,
and it's one of these The Spanish Civil War is
one of these conflicts where the more you learn about it,
the more you realize that almost everything that people think
about it in the in general is distorted or even
(01:28):
just flat out wrong. And of course Hollywood and the
media have a very simplistic view of it that there
was just these Nazi backed fascists who were trying to
defeat this people's government. But it was a communist takeover
and a virulently anti Catholic, anti Christian takeover of the
country as well, which the Last Crusade gets into. But
(01:49):
I'm going to be reading more about the Spanish Civil
War after this one. I said it was a good
Wreck by I just finished it last night. Good Wreck
by Jesse Kelly. Very interesting. I think back to the
movie Pans Labyrinth, and it shows to me very clearly
that there's like the fascist the evil fascist Nazi Spaniards
(02:11):
are so bad in that movie, and very violent and
vicious and horrible, and they did do horrible things. I'm
aware of bad things happening. It's a war, bad things,
the Civil War, bad things happening on both sides. But
what they don't show you is that there was just NKVD,
which is the precursor of the KGB Communist infiltration, Communist Brigades,
(02:32):
International Brigades is communists stalin sending resources in material. I mean,
there's just so much that is left out of that
compic I thought was really interesting. Douglas writes you in
one of our VIPs Buck, in response to your talk
about unions yesterday. I am a Houston air traffic controller.
Our union is the National Air Traffic Controllers Association. I
(02:53):
thought you would be interested to know that out of
roughly fifteen thousand controllers, nine thousand did not recently vote
in the National union presidential election. They pay insane amounts
and dues but won't vote. I believe it's because they
aren't happy with the choices and feel neither choice gives
them a voice, but also feel morally obligated to keep paying.
Like you said, union bosses are more for the union
(03:16):
establishment than for the everyday worker. Absolutely true, Douglas. Thank
you for bringing that frontline perspective to this h And
you know, air traffic controllers one of those areas where
I want people who are really really good at their job,
really good at their job. That's how people feel about
pilots too, right. And I know planes are are more
(03:37):
and more automated now, and people say, oh, it's fly
by wire, and it's yeah, it's fly by wire until
it's not until something goes wrong, until someone has to
make a heat of the moment Sully over the Hudson
kind of decision. You want a really good pilot. You
want somebody who is very well trained and really knows
what's going on. You want a really good surgeon. Right there,
(03:58):
These are principles that we all should be able to
share and celebrate in that we just with with critical
roles and positions. We just want the best of the best.
I do not care what skin color. I do not
care what gender I you know, if you show me
somebody who is a you know, non binary and has
a purple mohawk, but is truly the best heart surgeon
based on thousands of surgeries and you know, going to
(04:19):
Harvard Medical School and you know everything else, and yeah,
I'll that's great, have that person do my heart surgery.
But as we know, that's not what's happening. What's happening
is you have people that aren't good but have characteristics
at the left likes, and they're advancing them far beyond
what they would get. You know.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Otherwise, Sunday Hay with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Trump was in Asheville, North Carolina. You know, I've got
I got funny, funny Ashville story. Some of you already know.
It's when I was I was actually thinking about proposing
to carry in Asheville. I was visiting her family there
for Fourth of July week and a couple of years ago,
and I had the ring in my a bag and
I just decided, you know, we met in New York.
(05:03):
We I courted her in New York, so we got
we got engaged in New York City. So I held off.
But in the meantime in Asheville, I noticed it's like
a it's like a communist enclave, it's like a commune.
In downtown Ashville, it was beautiful countryside and then you
get into the actual city and there's like all these
(05:24):
filthy hippies running around and there's a crime problem, and
it's it's nuts. And I just noticed that there are
a lot of masks being worn. And this was in
the summer and it was indoors, and it was the
summer of what wasn't now twenty twenty two. I guess anyway,
Trump is in Asheville. He speaking to everybody. Oh yeah,
I made it. I tweeted about it and it went
(05:47):
went viral. I didn't even say anything mean or anything.
And then all of a sudden, the Nashville or Asheville,
not Nashville, the Asheville papers were writing about it, or
the Charlotte Observer. It's crazy, It's crazy. Ah yeah, I
was just on vacation. I feel like Eddie Murphy and
Beverly Hills cop. I'm on vacation, like I'm not trying
to kick the hornet's nest of all these insane Marxist
(06:10):
But apparently I did.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Sundays with Clay and Buck welcome.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Back, and I want to tell you about a fun
feature we have here for all of you on the show.
If you go to the iHeartRadio app, which I hope
you all have downloaded. It's a great app, and you
can listen to the show there on demand or streaming
whenever you like. But down to the iHeart Radio app,
and then when you go to the Clay and Buck Show,
there's like a little phone in like a talkback feature,
and you can send us a voicemail there. So it's
(06:38):
like our voicemail box via the app. And we got
one in today here. Well we've got a lot of
them in today, but here's one. It's twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Play it, Buck Secon, you are the voice of America,
the new representative of the EIB Network. RUSH would be
very proud of you.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
That was very kind start. Thank you so much. I
love hearing from all of you, and Clay and I
are certainly trying day in and day out to carry
on to the greatest possible degree the mission and legacy
of Rush himself.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Sunday drop with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Happiet twenty anniversary twenty years strong to my co pilot
here in the Rush Limbaugh f eighteen of Freedom, Clay Travis,
who is a great dude as you all know, and
him and his wife Laura married twenty years, so a
big congratulations to them. Very nice to see this in
(07:37):
the media world where let's just say, family values aren't
always front end center. It's great and I'm so you know,
I think it's such a good example to set that
Clay and his wife twenty years. They're three boys, wonderful kids,
great family, so big congrats to them. That's why Clay
is out this week. He's celebrating his twentieth and taking
the week off, so he and Lara are just out
(07:59):
in the mountain somewhere and enjoying some time together. So
happy twentieth to them. And I think Clay would want
me to talk about this, so maybe maybe I'll say
this is kind of this is an honor of Clay
this segment, because I'm sure he's fired about this New
York Post piece. Elites decide Hunter Biden can finally be
a scandal now that Joe is out.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Sunday Sizzle with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Glenn Beck joins us now. He has the phenomenal Glenn
Beck program on in the mornings on radio and syndication
across the country. Blaze Media co founder many many times
over New York Times bestseller. His latest is actually his
first young adult fiction novel, Chasing Embers, which we'll get
to in a second. Glenn, always so fun to have
(08:48):
you on. Thanks thanks for joining.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
No, it's great, Oh it's always great. You're you're the best.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Oh man. I always tell them like this guy, Glenn,
you saved me from business school man. You saved me
for being a Wall Street drone. I can't thank you enough.
You got to get the guy talent. He's like, you've
never written anything, You've never done you've never done media,
you've never done any of this before. I think you'd
be good. Let's hire you. So here we are, Glenn,
you're you're a man who can see the future. Before
(09:19):
we get into the book, can you just tell me
on talent. Yeah, you're a phenomenal talent spotterer, But tell
me about what you thought about the Elon Trump discussion
last night. And I think that this is big, not
just the conversation, but the fact that people like Elon
are coming forward like this, and also that there's no
longer a total stranglehold of the left over all the
(09:41):
social media platforms.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
So I think there's a couple of things. First of all,
you're right about the stranglehold. However, they are doing everything
they can to shut him down. I mean, it's amazing
he was the hero. I mean, he's probably done more
to save the planet if you believe in you know,
global warming, He's single handedly handedly have done more for
the planet than anybody else. But man, once he disagreed
(10:08):
with any of their policies, he's out. And the letter
that came from the EU, and the question from the
Washington Post reporter at the White House, what can the
White House do to stop this? It's insanity and they
are They're not gonna stop. I'm telling you, Buck, if
if we don't win the White House, I don't think
(10:34):
we have a future talking to the American people because
things are gonna change, and they're going to change rapidly, rapidly.
I thought his endorsement at the end. I'm one of
the few, I guess that listened to all of it.
I thought his endorsement was incredible. And you know when
he talked about standing in line for six hours to
shake Barack Obama's hand, and he's like, I'm not a
(10:57):
I'm not a conservative, you know, I'm most people would
say I'm middle of the road, but I'd lean left.
But this is too important. It is the end of
the road. And I hope people hear that because it
is terrifying some of the stuff that is coming down
right now. It is really spooky. You were just talking about,
you know how we're just supposed to pretend that Kamala is. Okay,
(11:20):
look at the propaganda that is going on right now,
and it is throughout the entire Western world. There's no
place to run, There's no place to go if we
lose it here. And you know, I think is going
to decide that.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I totally agree. You mentioned this. We actually have the SoundBite,
haven't played it yet, so I just wanted to let
you react to this. Glenn mentioned the in the White
House Press Corps asking the White House Press secretary. A
Washington Post journal is like, hey, can you guys like
shut down that elon X thing. We're not making this up, folks,
this is cut four play it.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Elon Muskus slated to interview Donald Trump tomorrow tonight on
on X. I don't know if the President is going
to feel free to say if he is or not,
but I think that misinformation on Twitter is not just
a campaign issue.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
It's a you know, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
An America issue.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
What role does the White House or the President have
in sort of stopping that or stopping the spread of that,
or sort of intervening in some of that was about
campaign misinformation?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But you know, okay, let's stop right there. Glenn, it's
it's jaw dropping, but I want to I want your
reaction to this. The first thing that I think about is, well, yeah,
but this is what the Biden administration does. So him
asking the question isn't isn't as crazy as it seems
because they got away with it the last time.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
No, I gotta tell you, we are the ones out
of step now in America. We we believe in the
First Amendment for everybody.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I've never wanted to shut any voice down, even Lewis Ferrikhon,
who I think is just despicable. He has a right
to say it. He has a right to be there.
You cannot have a free society if you're not allowed
to hear other opinions. And I mean, if you don't
think that they won't try to kill these people that
(13:15):
they disagree with, Look at what they're doing. Look look
at what Europe did yesterday. They sent Elon Musk a
threatening letter saying you better watch yourself tonight. With Donald Trump.
I've never seen this before. This is nineteen eighty four
V for Vendetta kind of stuff, and it's coming fast.
(13:36):
We no longer have a we no longer have sovereignty
in our countries. They're all moving exactly the same way.
The press all over the world is acting the same way.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
This is a new global mission.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
And you know the reason why they're going after Donald
Trump and Elon Musk so hard is they are standing
in the way of us, and they just they just want.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Us to do what they tell us to do.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
And if Donald Trump gets in, it's over for them
because he knows now what's going on. He knows. I mean, Buck,
I've never I'm approaching my fiftieth year in broadcast, I've
seen a lot. I've never seen this, and it is
becoming frightening.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I've never felt like I would fear for the future
of the country, and not in like a lib hysterical way.
I'm not gonna start shrieking at the sky like a lunatic,
but but to be legitimately concerned about what the country
has become. You know, I've always felt like we can rebound.
There's another you know, we've got another bite at the apple,
(14:52):
another chance to set things right. But Glenn, I really
do feel like if they can make Kamala Harris president
with a ninety day sham process of just picking her
and lying about her and changing her whole record. They
can make anybody president, So really, what's the point anymore?
I don't know. I started to get very negative feeling
(15:13):
about it. So that's why I'm like, well Trump has to.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Well, I will tell you that everyone has to go
out to the polls and vote. I mean, this is
this is imperative, this is it. I really believe Buck
that this is the last election under a constitutional America
that we understand. If they win, it's going to change
(15:36):
and change forever. And it's true, you lose it here,
where are you going to run? Look at what's happening
in Europe. Without a United States, we are a different world.
And I mean the way they're throwing people in jail
in England is astounding. I mean, we've always kind of
(15:57):
understood that we had freedom of speech and we had
the First Amendment, and so it set us apart. But
you know, you could say things in Canada, you could
say things in England.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Not anymore.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
And the fact that England would say yesterday that it
doesn't matter where you're originating your misinformation. If you were
found being a purveyor of misinformation, no matter where you
are on Earth, they will put you in jail. That's
a quote from the officials in England.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
What can I tell you something scary, Glenn, and I
was just talking to friends about this. I do not
you know, say what you will about China and Russia,
and I say a lot. There's a lot of bad
stuff going on. They will not hand over one of
their nationals to another country. They just won't do it right.
You can say, oh, I want that this Chinese guy
stole you know, espionage stuff from us. The Chinese will
(16:52):
not hand him over. I would not trust a Kamala
Harris administration to stand for the First Amendment and you
will use an extraditional quest from Great Britain over this stuff.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
I would not trust them. Yeah they would, Yeah, they
would try. They would turn you over. They turn me over,
They turn any American over. I mean, this is this
is where we're at now.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
This is no longer.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
I mean, I've been talking about this stuff, you know,
Buck for twenty years, and it's always been okay. But
these things have to happen, and maybe they won't happen.
We're there, We're there now.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
This is the moment of choosing, and you can't give up,
and you can't give up.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
On the youth.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
I mean, you know, the ones that are coming up
are more conservative than their parents.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
It is.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
It's not a miss, it's it's not a mystery why
girls and boys who are growing up now the teens,
why the boys are conservative and the girls are not.
Girls Naturally, let's be really crazy and recognize that men
and women are different. Girls and women naturally go with
(18:01):
their feelings, and they are too. They're to mother and
they're to heal and protect. Boys and men naturally see
problems over the horizon and they stand up and their
protective mode comes out. So when you're looking at the
difference between male and females, especially with the youth, they're
(18:21):
doing what they're what they're built to do, mother and defend,
and the boys are seeing the horizon and seeing what's
coming at them, and that's why they're more conservative than
the girls.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
It's tell me a little bit, tell me a little
bit glass about the youth. This uh, this young adult fiction.
This is your first one, Chasing Embers, which has just
been published. I feel like I know you all have
to know that you tackle some real stuff in here.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Yeah, it is, it's not political. It's a dystopian future.
It is where we will be in fifty years, maybe
not even that long if we continue to go down
this road. If things don't change, there are a racing
history in real time. You know, it's one thing to
say that they're doing propaganda and they can change, you know,
(19:14):
Kamala Harrison, everything that she is and has done. Let's
be clear, this is nineteen eighty four and the Memory Hole.
They are changing history in real time and nobody knows
what the truth is anymore. Well, that's what this book
is about. Is the truth worth looking for? It's a
(19:37):
dystopian tale where you know, the fifteen minute cities have happened,
and everybody lives in these dystopian kind of communities. And
the rebels are the ones who don't accept the history
and don't accept this way of life. And all they're
trying to do is just, you know, you find out
(19:59):
through the book, just trying to put a library together.
But books have been banned, knowledge has been squashed, everything
has been erased, and these kids are having to make
a choice. Do I go with the system or do
I actually pursue the truth which could get me killed
and all my family killed? And is it worth it?
(20:22):
And there's all kinds of rabbit holes and easter eggs
in the book. Hoping that we tell true history that
they're trying to piece together, and hopefully these teens we've
written it in such a way that they will be
interested and want to go find out more about history,
(20:43):
real history and courage and standing up for what you
believe and what the truth actually means.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
But it's a really great story.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Great book to get for the young adult in your life.
For all of you, Chasing Embers by Glenn Beck out
now get yourself a copy. Glenn, thanks for all you do.
And also, yeah, thanks for putting me in the game, coach,
always remember it always appreciated.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, you're great, Thanks so much, Buck.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Thanks Glenn Black. Yeah, I looked. I I I see
it a lot of the same way Glenn does. And
I don't know what happens if Look, we can't lose
this election. I was, I was upset about twenty twenty
and I don't know what to tell people, don't know
what to tell my own family if we If Kamala
Harris becomes president, Trump's gonna win. Trump's gonna win. Keep
(21:33):
the faith, Keep the faith,
Bold, reverence, and occasionally random. The Sunday Hang with Clay

it's not until something goes wrong, until someone has to
make a heat of the moment Sully over the Hudson
kind of decision. You want a really good pilot. You
want somebody who is very well trained and really knows
what's going on. You want a really good surgeon. Right there,
(03:58):
These are principles that we all should be able to
share and celebrate in that we just with with critical
roles and positions. We just want the best of the best.
I do not care what skin color. I do not
care what gender I you know, if you show me
somebody who is a you know, non binary and has
a purple mohawk, but is truly the best heart surgeon
based on thousands of surgeries and you know, going to
(04:19):

I'll that's great, have that person do my heart surgery.
But as we know, that's not what's happening. What's happening
is you have people that aren't good but have characteristics
at the left likes, and they're advancing them far beyond
what they would get. You know.

Trump is in Asheville. He speaking to everybody. Oh yeah,
I made it. I tweeted about it and it went
(05:47):
went viral. I didn't even say anything mean or anything.
And then all of a sudden, the Nashville or Asheville,
not Nashville, the Asheville papers were writing about it, or
the Charlotte Observer. It's crazy, It's crazy. Ah yeah, I
was just on vacation. I feel like Eddie Murphy and
Beverly Hills cop. I'm on vacation, like I'm not trying
to kick the hornet's nest of all these insane Marxist
(06:10):
But apparently I did.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Sundays with Clay and Buck welcome.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Back, and I want to tell you about a fun
feature we have here for all of you on the show.
If you go to the iHeartRadio app, which I hope
you all have downloaded. It's a great app, and you
can listen to the show there on demand or streaming
whenever you like. But down to the iHeart Radio app,
and then when you go to the Clay and Buck Show,
there's like a little phone in like a talkback feature,
and you can send us a voicemail there. So it's
(06:38):
like our voicemail box via the app. And we got
one in today here. Well we've got a lot of
them in today, but here's one. It's twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Play it, Buck Secon, you are the voice of America,
the new representative of the EIB Network. RUSH would be
very proud of you.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
That was very kind start. Thank you so much. I
love hearing from all of you, and Clay and I
are certainly trying day in and day out to carry
on to the greatest possible degree the mission and legacy
of Rush himself.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Sunday drop with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Happiet twenty anniversary twenty years strong to my co pilot
here in the Rush Limbaugh f eighteen of Freedom, Clay Travis,
who is a great dude as you all know, and
him and his wife Laura married twenty years, so a
big congratulations to them. Very nice to see this in
(07:37):
the media world where let's just say, family values aren't
always front end center. It's great and I'm so you know,
I think it's such a good example to set that
Clay and his wife twenty years. They're three boys, wonderful kids,
great family, so big congrats to them. That's why Clay
is out this week. He's celebrating his twentieth and taking
the week off, so he and Lara are just out
(07:59):
in the mountain somewhere and enjoying some time together. So
happy twentieth to them. And I think Clay would want
me to talk about this, so maybe maybe I'll say
this is kind of this is an honor of Clay
this segment, because I'm sure he's fired about this New
York Post piece. Elites decide Hunter Biden can finally be
a scandal now that Joe is out.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Sunday Sizzle with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Glenn Beck joins us now. He has the phenomenal Glenn
Beck program on in the mornings on radio and syndication
across the country. Blaze Media co founder many many times
over New York Times bestseller. His latest is actually his
first young adult fiction novel, Chasing Embers, which we'll get
to in a second. Glenn, always so fun to have
(08:48):
you on. Thanks thanks for joining.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
No, it's great, Oh it's always great. You're you're the best.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Oh man. I always tell them like this guy, Glenn,
you saved me from business school man. You saved me
for being a Wall Street drone. I can't thank you enough.
You got to get the guy talent. He's like, you've
never written anything, You've never done you've never done media,
you've never done any of this before. I think you'd
be good. Let's hire you. So here we are, Glenn,
you're you're a man who can see the future. Before
(09:19):
we get into the book, can you just tell me
on talent. Yeah, you're a phenomenal talent spotterer, But tell
me about what you thought about the Elon Trump discussion
last night. And I think that this is big, not
just the conversation, but the fact that people like Elon
are coming forward like this, and also that there's no
longer a total stranglehold of the left over all the
(09:41):
social media platforms.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
So I think there's a couple of things. First of all,
you're right about the stranglehold. However, they are doing everything
they can to shut him down. I mean, it's amazing
he was the hero. I mean, he's probably done more
to save the planet if you believe in you know,
global warming, He's single handedly handedly have done more for
the planet than anybody else. But man, once he disagreed
(10:08):
with any of their policies, he's out. And the letter
that came from the EU, and the question from the
Washington Post reporter at the White House, what can the
White House do to stop this? It's insanity and they
are They're not gonna stop. I'm telling you, Buck, if
if we don't win the White House, I don't think
(10:34):
we have a future talking to the American people because
things are gonna change, and they're going to change rapidly, rapidly.
I thought his endorsement at the end. I'm one of
the few, I guess that listened to all of it.
I thought his endorsement was incredible. And you know when
he talked about standing in line for six hours to
shake Barack Obama's hand, and he's like, I'm not a
(10:57):
I'm not a conservative, you know, I'm most people would
say I'm middle of the road, but I'd lean left.
But this is too important. It is the end of
the road. And I hope people hear that because it
is terrifying some of the stuff that is coming down
right now. It is really spooky. You were just talking about,
you know how we're just supposed to pretend that Kamala is. Okay,
(11:20):
look at the propaganda that is going on right now,
and it is throughout the entire Western world. There's no
place to run, There's no place to go if we
lose it here. And you know, I think is going
to decide that.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I totally agree. You mentioned this. We actually have the SoundBite,
haven't played it yet, so I just wanted to let
you react to this. Glenn mentioned the in the White
House Press Corps asking the White House Press secretary. A
Washington Post journal is like, hey, can you guys like
shut down that elon X thing. We're not making this up, folks,
this is cut four play it.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Elon Muskus slated to interview Donald Trump tomorrow tonight on
on X. I don't know if the President is going
to feel free to say if he is or not,
but I think that misinformation on Twitter is not just
a campaign issue.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
It's a you know, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
An America issue.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
What role does the White House or the President have
in sort of stopping that or stopping the spread of that,
or sort of intervening in some of that was about
campaign misinformation?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But you know, okay, let's stop right there. Glenn, it's
it's jaw dropping, but I want to I want your
reaction to this. The first thing that I think about is, well, yeah,
but this is what the Biden administration does. So him
asking the question isn't isn't as crazy as it seems
because they got away with it the last time.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
No, I gotta tell you, we are the ones out
of step now in America. We we believe in the
First Amendment for everybody.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
I've never wanted to shut any voice down, even Lewis Ferrikhon,
who I think is just despicable. He has a right
to say it. He has a right to be there.
You cannot have a free society if you're not allowed
to hear other opinions. And I mean, if you don't
think that they won't try to kill these people that
(13:15):
they disagree with, Look at what they're doing. Look look
at what Europe did yesterday. They sent Elon Musk a
threatening letter saying you better watch yourself tonight. With Donald Trump.
I've never seen this before. This is nineteen eighty four
V for Vendetta kind of stuff, and it's coming fast.
(13:36):
We no longer have a we no longer have sovereignty
in our countries. They're all moving exactly the same way.
The press all over the world is acting the same way.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
This is a new global mission.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
And you know the reason why they're going after Donald
Trump and Elon Musk so hard is they are standing
in the way of us, and they just they just want.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Us to do what they tell us to do.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
And if Donald Trump gets in, it's over for them
because he knows now what's going on. He knows. I mean, Buck,
I've never I'm approaching my fiftieth year in broadcast, I've
seen a lot. I've never seen this, and it is
becoming frightening.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I've never felt like I would fear for the future
of the country, and not in like a lib hysterical way.
I'm not gonna start shrieking at the sky like a lunatic,
but but to be legitimately concerned about what the country
has become. You know, I've always felt like we can rebound.
There's another you know, we've got another bite at the apple,
(14:52):
another chance to set things right. But Glenn, I really
do feel like if they can make Kamala Harris president
with a ninety day sham process of just picking her
and lying about her and changing her whole record. They
can make anybody president, So really, what's the point anymore?
I don't know. I started to get very negative feeling
(15:13):
about it. So that's why I'm like, well Trump has to.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Well, I will tell you that everyone has to go
out to the polls and vote. I mean, this is
this is imperative, this is it. I really believe Buck
that this is the last election under a constitutional America
that we understand. If they win, it's going to change
(15:36):
and change forever. And it's true, you lose it here,
where are you going to run? Look at what's happening
in Europe. Without a United States, we are a different world.
And I mean the way they're throwing people in jail
in England is astounding. I mean, we've always kind of
(15:57):
understood that we had freedom of speech and we had
the First Amendment, and so it set us apart. But
you know, you could say things in Canada, you could
say things in England.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Not anymore.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
And the fact that England would say yesterday that it
doesn't matter where you're originating your misinformation. If you were
found being a purveyor of misinformation, no matter where you
are on Earth, they will put you in jail. That's
a quote from the officials in England.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
What can I tell you something scary, Glenn, and I
was just talking to friends about this. I do not
you know, say what you will about China and Russia,
and I say a lot. There's a lot of bad
stuff going on. They will not hand over one of
their nationals to another country. They just won't do it right.
You can say, oh, I want that this Chinese guy
stole you know, espionage stuff from us. The Chinese will
(16:52):
not hand him over. I would not trust a Kamala
Harris administration to stand for the First Amendment and you
will use an extraditional quest from Great Britain over this stuff.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
I would not trust them. Yeah they would, Yeah, they
would try. They would turn you over. They turn me over,
They turn any American over. I mean, this is this
is where we're at now.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
This is no longer.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
I mean, I've been talking about this stuff, you know,
Buck for twenty years, and it's always been okay. But
these things have to happen, and maybe they won't happen.
We're there, We're there now.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
This is the moment of choosing, and you can't give up,
and you can't give up.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
On the youth.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
I mean, you know, the ones that are coming up
are more conservative than their parents.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
It is.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
It's not a miss, it's it's not a mystery why
girls and boys who are growing up now the teens,
why the boys are conservative and the girls are not.
Girls Naturally, let's be really crazy and recognize that men
and women are different. Girls and women naturally go with
(18:01):
their feelings, and they are too. They're to mother and
they're to heal and protect. Boys and men naturally see
problems over the horizon and they stand up and their
protective mode comes out. So when you're looking at the
difference between male and females, especially with the youth, they're
(18:21):
doing what they're what they're built to do, mother and defend,
and the boys are seeing the horizon and seeing what's
coming at them, and that's why they're more conservative than
the girls.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
It's tell me a little bit, tell me a little
bit glass about the youth. This uh, this young adult fiction.
This is your first one, Chasing Embers, which has just
been published. I feel like I know you all have
to know that you tackle some real stuff in here.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Yeah, it is, it's not political. It's a dystopian future.
It is where we will be in fifty years, maybe
not even that long if we continue to go down
this road. If things don't change, there are a racing
history in real time. You know, it's one thing to
say that they're doing propaganda and they can change, you know,
(19:14):
Kamala Harrison, everything that she is and has done. Let's
be clear, this is nineteen eighty four and the Memory Hole.
They are changing history in real time and nobody knows
what the truth is anymore. Well, that's what this book
is about. Is the truth worth looking for? It's a
(19:37):
dystopian tale where you know, the fifteen minute cities have happened,
and everybody lives in these dystopian kind of communities. And
the rebels are the ones who don't accept the history
and don't accept this way of life. And all they're
trying to do is just, you know, you find out
(19:59):
through the book, just trying to put a library together.
But books have been banned, knowledge has been squashed, everything
has been erased, and these kids are having to make
a choice. Do I go with the system or do
I actually pursue the truth which could get me killed
and all my family killed? And is it worth it?
(20:22):
And there's all kinds of rabbit holes and easter eggs
in the book. Hoping that we tell true history that
they're trying to piece together, and hopefully these teens we've
written it in such a way that they will be
interested and want to go find out more about history,
(20:43):
real history and courage and standing up for what you
believe and what the truth actually means.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
But it's a really great story.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Great book to get for the young adult in your life.
For all of you, Chasing Embers by Glenn Beck out
now get yourself a copy. Glenn, thanks for all you do.
And also, yeah, thanks for putting me in the game, coach,
always remember it always appreciated.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, you're great, Thanks so much, Buck.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Thanks Glenn Black. Yeah, I looked. I I I see
it a lot of the same way Glenn does. And
I don't know what happens if Look, we can't lose
this election. I was, I was upset about twenty twenty
and I don't know what to tell people, don't know
what to tell my own family if we If Kamala
Harris becomes president, Trump's gonna win. Trump's gonna win. Keep
(21:33):
the faith, Keep the faith,
