Why Venezuela's Election Chaos Is a WARNING For America

The White House is now calling on the Venezuelan government to release detailed voting data amid claims of election fraud ... oh, the irony! Can no one in the media see it, Glenn asks? Glenn connects the dots that the media has missed about how Venezuela went from one of the wealthiest nations in the world to one of the most chaotic: A corrupt government, an embrace of socialism, a "reform" of their Supreme Court, a focus on "experts" ... is any of this sounding familiar?

GLENN: Well, hello, Stu.

STU: Hi, Glenn. How are you? That's how we're starting the show today? This voice?

GLENN: Yeah. We're going to talk like cartoon people. Because I think everything that is happening in the world is a giant cartoon.

STU: That is where we are, I think right now at this point. None of it seems real.

GLENN: It is. That's the only way you can look at it. None of it seems real.

And you're standing off to the side. What was that science fiction movie 2000.

STU: 2000. Yeah.

GLENN: Yes. Yes. Yes, yes.

I feel like those guys sitting in front of the screen. Just watching the world unfold every day.

Like, this is going to work out well. You know what I mean?

Just, it's nuts what's happening. And the fact that no one can connect the dots.

Now, I've always been a dot connector. Sometimes I'm right. Sometimes I'm wrong.

But I always look at things. I can take things. Different things and ideas, that don't seem to be connected, but I can see them connected. And then I can find the connection to prove it to you. Many times.

and that is a skill, I guess. Or a curse.

But it appears to me, no one has that skill. Or maybe it's like, I don't want to look at that. I don't want to look at that.

Why would I look at that? The Venezuela story. Oh, I don't know.

Are there a couple of dots we could connect here?

Is there anything we could look at like, hmm. I wonder what we're doing here.

They started. It was a rich country! It was a country, where they weren't eating the zoo animals. Oh, just a few years ago.

It was the third richest country in the western hemisphere.

Has oils and resources, like nobody's business. Sound familiar?

Okay. Let's just keep that one over there. Rich country.

All kinds of resources. Could make it on their own.

If they just wouldn't go country, and go to socialism.

But what did they do? They go corrupt, and immediately go to socialism. How do they go to socialism?

They begin to talk down democracy. They begin to say, this republic. This Constitution isn't right.

And so Hugo Chavez. He is -- he is thrown in jail, by the president of Venezuela.

And nobody thinks that's right. He's like, I have to get out of -- and he gets out of jail.

And he replicates again. And this time, he wins.

Why? Because generally, the people don't like it, when you put their candidate in jail!

They don't think that's fair. Hmm. Is there another dot we can connect?

So then when he gets in, the first thing he does, is he changes the makeup of the Supreme Court.

Wait a minute. I'm seeing another dot on the horizon.

Then what does he do?

Well, then he starts talking about how we've just got to nationalize health care. Because health care costs are out of -- out of site. It's crazy.

We can't get anybody to have health care. So we've got to nationalize it. And it's going to save you like $2,000 per family. Every single year. And what does it do?

It jacks the price of -- of health care through the roof. And then the health care system collapses. And nobody can get anything.

Is there another dot we see?

Then they start jacking with the oil. Because, well, these big oil companies, they're just evil, you know.

And there was corruption. Why was there corruption. Because the government got involved with a private company.

And when the government gets involved, then there's you all kinds of things that are going on behind the scenes that nobody knows. And everybody starts enriching themselves, at the upper level, but not anywhere down below.

Is there another dot, we could connect?

So then they hire a man of the people. They hire a guy that, you know what, you know what, we need? Chavez is dead now. Gosh darn it, miss him. But let's keep going down this road. So they hire an expert.

A guy who was a bus driver. He was, a bus driver. He had no money. You know, much like the Obamas, when he went into office. I'm sure he had student loans. He couldn't afford his mortgage. He was an average, everyday guy struggling like you. And lo and behold, he's the president. And all of a sudden, he and his children are the wealthiest in Venezuela.

How did that happen, as a public service -- I mean, Maduro.

How does that happen? How come everybody in government, who claims, oh, I'm just trying to save the people, become incredibly rich and powerful.

How does that work, exactly. I'm trying to figure that out.

Did they all win lotteries. Or is there something else going on?

Now, they had problems with their voting machines. They just held an election. And everybody was talking about the voting machines.

Voting machines. This is bad. Not good. The voting machines. Voting machines. All kinds of corruption.

No, no, no, no. No corruption. No corruption.

Corruption. It's going to be bad. Maduro's -- the guy he was running against was like 30 points ahead, 30 points ahead.

And then when it comes to a vote, well, we've got to -- we're going to take a break. We'll take a break.

We're vote counting. It's sleepy. It's 9:30 at night. We have to get to bed. And then they count. And lo and behold, Maduro wins. We just found some ballots in Detroit.

Does anybody see a single dot here!

It's insane. It's -- do we have that -- that crazy music, that we -- that we may Sara, for stuff like this. When it's just -- it's the one with the horn honk. No. But that's appropriate too. That's appropriate too.

(music)

So, anyway, now he's president. It's like this. Is this the one with the horn honk? I think so. So he is -- so he's now president, and what did he do? Well, he consolidated power, in their Pentagon. You know, got rid of anybody that might be -- you know, might be against him.

So they got rid of him. Gee, isn't that what -- wait a minute. Didn't we stand our army down to do that right after? Well, that's weird. So now he has the complete support of the army. And they're out quelling these crazies that are saying, the election was stole. Was stolen. Because these people -- it's the worst thing to happen in Venezuela, since I don't know. The Civil War. And they're going into Civil War.

Now, I've been watching the news. And I haven't heard anyone pluck out a single parallel story here.

I haven't seen a single person on -- you know what I'm seeing on TV? This is bad. Look at this. Look at this. I mean, the people were crying out, saying there was corruption.

And now he's trying to -- he changed the Supreme Court again.

Now he's doing it again. This is out of control.

First of all, he was trying to arrest his opponent.

So I do believe, Stu. That for the rest of the show, we should just talk like this.

Because everything is a cartoon. I wouldn't be surprised.

Secret Service says, Donald Trump was not hit by a bullet. We believe, a safe fell out of the sky.

Why not?

STU: I've always believed acme was in on all of this. It's been Acme from the beginning.

Yeah.

GLENN: Yes. Yes. Would you have been surprised if the guy up on the roof, would have had a big, black, round, bowling ball of a bomb. And lit the fuse.

And was wearing a fedora. And was like, shh. And he's lighting the fuse, and everybody is in the crowd going, there's a guy in a black fedora with a big black acme bomb. And he's lit it. And he will throw it towards the president. Why not?

Why not? Why is the crap that they're saying to us, right now, less believable?

STU: Every day, they update that story. Yeah. Every day they update that story.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. They do.

STU: He's there earlier. Like, I remembered when this story broke, I had a conniption on the vacations, saying, hey. How the heck was this guy up there for 90 seconds?

90 seconds! He was on the roof for 90 seconds?

And somehow they let him up there? You get updates. Eh, it was actually 26 minutes. Actually, he built a condo on the complex, six months ago, and has been living there, casing the entire field since then.

I don't -- every day, the story is worse.

GLENN: He was halfway finished with a tunnel that he was building from the roof to the lectern where Trump was. I just couldn't get it done in time.

Yeah. Now -- now we're starting to find out something about him.

The FBI has come out, and said, oh, no.

We have some evidence for you.

We think we might have -- we think we might have a motive.

Okay. First of all, I'm pretty sure, his motive was, to kill the president.

I think that's what his motive was. I don't know. What are you getting up for today? To ever, well, I was going to have some brand flakes, but I decided I will kill Donald Trump. That's what motivated him.

STU: Along with the brand flakes.

GLENN: Right. You eat brand flakes at that age.

STU: Twenty-eight cause weird outcomes, no doubt about that. And look, you have a situation where --

GLENN: Absolutely no footprint digitally. That happens all the time. He's never said a word, on the internet. Oh, yeah. And he's got a phone and everything. He's not crazy. He's got a phone. But he has zero footprint. He left us nothing. Except now we just found go!

Wait until you hear this story.

You're going to talk like this too, in just a few minutes.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor. Our sponsor this half-hour is Lear Capital. You know, some would say, things are weird right now.

Not me. No, no. Not me. People are weird. Especially those Republicans. What a bunch of weirdos. By the way, you can go to Glenn Beck merch. And do we have the T-shirt?

I made two T-shirts for J.D. Vance.

One of them is -- well, I would hate to say, that I just lifted the artwork from Portland. And they have -- Portland, you know, campaign, that they had up on billboards. Keep Portland weird.

But it looks kind of like that.

The T-shirt just says, keep J.D. Vance weird. And the other one, you remember the -- keep calm and carry on.

This one is just Keep Calm and J.D. Vance weird. You can get them at Glenn Beck merch right now. Anyway, things are weird. What will they do next? Review next thing you'll know, the Republicans will say, hey, we shouldn't have a national digital currency.

That could be really bad.

Mark of the beast. You know, something like that.

Thank goodness, people who don't know what a woman is. So I'm not sure that they can put that together. Terrible changes will come. And we have to be prepared for it, as a people. If you start with your finances, one of the most important things you can do is if you have any extra money, you need to put some of that money, in a hedge. Something that will hold up, if the dollar goes down. If dollar goes down, inflation goes up. What grows?

Well, gold is always that hedge. Gold or silver, now from Lear Capital. Thousands of five-star reviews, and a 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee. Precious metals leader, that you can trust.

(music)

So the FBI director says, now there is no doubt. And there never has been any doubt about Trump.

He was hit by a bullet. No matter what, Director Wray was saying. It was a bullet. It only took us two weeks to find that out. Man, these guys are on top of it, aren't they? Now, the FBI also has come out and they believe hmm.

That Crook, his -- his attempt to assassinate Donald Trump, was because he was motivated by, Stu.

STU: The desire to assassinate Donald Trump.

GLENN: Yes. But what was really behind that?

STU: Brand flakes?

GLENN: No. No. Stop listening to those conspiracy theorists.

He was extreme in his view of illegal aliens. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

And he also had extreme anti-Semitic comments. Now, the FBI released the story. And the headlines are all extreme anti-Semitic comments online. I thought he had no digital footprint. Now he found extreme anti-Semitic. Okay. Well, that would make him part of the left.

Which is weird. Because that's where the Nazis belong. On the extreme left. Not the right.

So he is now an anti-Semite. And he also said some vicious things about the border. And what's happening to our country.

Sounds to me, like he's a right-wing nut job.

STU: Well, I think there's a logical line there from someone who is upset about open borders. And immediately goes to assassinating Donald Trump.

Like is there any sense in that?

Is there any logic in that path there? I don't --

GLENN: Okay. Okay. Okay. Good. Go with that for a second. Tell me why there's no logic in that. Because I have another story that you can help figure out. Go ahead.

STU: Well, Donald Trump is the most visible person in America, arguing for tighter Border Patrol.

If you're upset about what's going on, on the border, assuming it wasn't like, we have kids in cages thing, you know, with AOC crying in her $3,000 suit at the border fence. You would think, that Donald Trump would be your -- would be your hero. If -- if that were true.

GLENN: Yeah. If that's what you really -- okay. Can you help me figure this out? Because remember, you just said there's no real logic to that.

Vice President Kamala Harris. Now, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has received critical endorsements from the mayors of some of the largest towns on the Arizona/Mexico border.

I trust her to meet the needs of our border cities and towns, without taking advantages of us for her own personal gain, like her opponent.

The border mayors in Arizona, trust that the border czar. Non-border czar, is the one to fix the problem.

It's like, there is a little miniature shooter on the -- a slopy kind of roof, in my head, just killing brain cells.

Every time. I listen to the mainstream media.

So everything is fine, everybody. Hey!

I got a funny nose.

And J.D. Vance is weird.
