Transcript
00:00:00.000
Holy cow, we've got a lot going on today with the State of the Union address.
00:00:05.100
Also, pushing back on some pathetic attempts to fact-check Donald Trump's address.
00:00:10.960
There's not enough information to know if that's true yet.
00:00:24.240
We have built a world where almost everything is on demand.
00:00:28.100
You need groceries? They'll be there in an hour.
00:00:31.700
There's one thing that doesn't always show up on demand, and that is medical care.
00:00:35.840
Especially when the system gets strained or when you're farther away from help than you expected to be.
00:00:42.520
We just assume that our pharmacy is always going to be open.
00:00:54.300
The Jace case is a package of doctor-prescribed antibiotics and emergency medications
00:00:59.120
that you can order online and have shipped directly to your home.
00:01:02.600
Real medications prescribed by licensed physicians, stored safely and available if you need them.
00:01:09.420
Their doctors can also help you with a long-term supply of daily medications
00:01:12.740
and other practical preparedness options so you're not scrambling if something interrupts the normal routine.
00:01:17.920

00:01:28.760
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:01:35.040
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:01:42.440
Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:01:45.800
Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm
00:01:52.020
to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:01:59.780
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up,
00:02:15.800
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:29.340
And everybody is forcing everybody to get into this fight.
00:02:48.100
I don't want to mention the name of school shooters because that's what they want.
00:02:52.200
That's what they thrive on is attention to whatever it is they're wanting to talk about.
00:03:00.000
I'm not going to give it to them because I know that's what they want.
00:03:03.840
But I do, from time to time, feel I should say something, and not about the personalities, but about principles.
00:03:16.920
If you've listened to this show, when we started, you know, the Tea Party started, and that was all about politics.
00:03:20.820
And I said, the 9-12 Project is not about politics.
00:03:28.160
If you, and I'm not talking about you, those who say, you know, Glenn Beck hasn't spoken out about this, and he's got to speak out about it.
00:03:41.000
Second thing, if you don't know where I stand on issues, especially when it is regarding Jews, you don't know.
00:03:57.840
And if you think that you are more outraged than I am, have your children been dragged into it?
00:04:07.620
Have your children been questioned, like, why were they there?
00:04:12.040
You know, he loves the Jews, and they were suspiciously close to him when he died.
00:04:19.440
But that's no business of yours or anybody else.
00:04:33.060
I've lived my life since I was 13 years old behind a microphone.
00:04:42.820
And I have been successful and a failure and successful and failed and successful again.
00:04:51.080
I've lived long enough to see what fame can do to me and to others.
00:05:01.600
Not the money because that's just paper on the surface.
00:05:21.520
If you don't know who you are before the spotlight hits you, that bright, garish spotlight, that spotlight will then tell you who you are.
00:05:37.860
This is an important principle for you to understand because the spotlight is on all of us.
00:05:43.920
When I got into this, I had to work to build an audience.
00:05:55.700
In this age of social media, being the one is very dangerous.
00:06:03.540
And when I say the one, the one that's trending, the one that it's exposing, the one that is feared, the one that's being debated about, the one that is changing minds and hearts, the one, whatever it is, it's intoxicating.
00:06:29.860
And it's interesting because you are both the user and the dealer.
00:06:32.880
Because media, social media or mainstream media, it's not, you are using the drug and it's lying to you.
00:06:45.280
Because you might have hit something that was honest.
00:06:49.180
But then, if things start to slide at all, you have to find out what that next honest thing is that will take you to the next level.
00:07:03.280
You have to be able to walk away from all of it.
00:07:06.420
You have to be able to say, it's not that important to me.
00:07:11.260
You have to be, how many times have I offended this audience?
00:07:15.120
How many times have you probably listened to the show and went, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:07:25.140
And there have been times when I've almost driven you away because I felt, well, a couple of times because I was arrogant and I thought I knew better than you.
00:07:38.180
But other times, like for instance, when I printed Addicted to Outrage, thank you, I can barely remember it because it sold like four books.
00:07:47.540
When I published Addicted to Outrage, I knew it wouldn't do well.
00:07:53.420
But it was important for me to talk about what outrage can do to you.
00:08:00.180
It was important for me to say, you know what, I've made mistakes and I've learned from it.
00:08:07.720
But when you are, when you're addicted to that high, you addict others to that high as well.
00:08:16.180
You've got to keep the audience high, which means you have to push harder.
00:08:20.820
You have to reveal something darker, something more shocking than what I told you yesterday, something even more forbidden.
00:08:27.540
Because yesterday's outrage isn't a big enough drug.
00:08:36.240
And sometimes that pursuit uncovers real corruption.
00:08:42.260
But sometimes, if we're honest, it becomes escalation for the sake of escalation.
00:08:48.800
Not because truth demands it, but because the machine demands it.
00:08:53.740
And once you walk down that road, stopping walking down that road is almost impossible.
00:09:03.440
When I left Fox, it screwed with me for four years.
00:09:16.060
When he said that, I realized, oh my gosh, I really now have to walk away because he's right.
00:09:23.640
But when you walk away from just the outrage part, not the fame, just the outrage part, I guarantee you, you're going to be accused of selling out.
00:09:31.240
If you show restraint, you've been compromised.
00:09:38.980
And it's the very crowd that lifted you up that will turn on you the moment you refuse to go further.
00:09:45.840
One of the saddest things for me is you've listened to me for 25 or 30 years, and I can say one thing, and all of a sudden you'll say, you're a traitor.
00:10:09.740
And here's the principle that I think we have to defend.
00:10:13.920
And it goes right to the bride of Charlie Kirk.
00:10:30.540
You might believe they're wrong about everything.
00:10:41.180
If someone dies and you believe a crime occurred, there's a process to that.
00:10:49.920
If you have evidence, give it to the authorities.
00:10:52.220
If you have resources, quietly fund the pursuit of facts.
00:10:56.100
You don't conduct a trial through thumbnails and trailers.
00:11:08.880
Let's say a small-town family loses their father in an accident.
00:11:20.140
And one local radio host like me begins asking questions, not with evidence, but with feelings.
00:11:32.940
They will build the audience on suspicion, but they'll never truly accuse because I'm going to pay for that one in a court of law.
00:11:47.020
Soon, the widow can't buy groceries without whispers every time she goes into the store.
1.00
00:11:50.980
The children hear theories about their mom at school.
00:11:55.120
Five months later, nothing has been proven, but the damage is permanent.
00:12:00.360
And even if later the host says, you know, I was just asking questions, the community is fractured.
00:12:14.640
I will defend someone's right to say the things.
00:12:19.120
I will defend their right to say the despicable things they've said about my children and me.
00:12:25.980
And the moment we start silencing people that we disagree with, we lose.
00:12:34.100
But free speech is not the same as moral obligation and responsibility.
00:12:42.200
And the First Amendment protects your right to speak.
00:12:57.460
Because there's a difference between investigation and insinuation.
00:13:09.540
And fame, if you're not careful, convinces you that every instinct must be broadcast.
00:13:22.780
Not everything you think, not every suspicion needs to be shared.
00:13:35.880
Sometimes restraint is the highest form of strength.
00:13:39.900
We should be rallying around principles that make us more human.
00:13:57.760
If this society can no longer put itself in another man's shoes.
00:14:06.120
And you were dogpiling in the first three weeks.
00:14:15.800
Once we normalize turning mourning into content.
00:14:20.080
None of us are safe from being content ourselves.
00:14:23.600
The culture that rewards behavior like this isn't just influencers.
00:14:42.720
So instead of saying, what the hell happened to fill in the blank of the influencer?
00:14:52.060
What the hell has happened to the right or to the left?
00:14:54.920
Maybe the question is, what is happening to us?
00:14:59.540
If we don't anchor ourselves in who we are, and my opinion shouldn't matter more than your opinion.
00:15:07.620
Glenn, Glenn's got to speak out on this because his opinion, my opinion is no more important than your opinion.
00:15:16.780
If you are waiting for me to endorse your opinion, you're lost.
00:15:27.180
But you've got to know these things before the likes, before the numbers, before the praise.
00:15:33.020
Or all of us are going to be swept away by whatever gets the most reaction.
00:15:52.160
If you lose the civilizational values, it doesn't matter who wins the argument.
00:16:01.140
Long before algorithms, you know, there were calloused hands shaping steel and cotton and timber into something lasting.
00:16:09.800
There were men and women who measured twice, cut once, and took pride in a finished product that could be passed down through generations, not tossed out.
00:16:22.840
And somewhere along the way, we started optimizing for speed and scale instead of durability, and things got cheaper and faster, more disposable.
00:16:31.760
And so we shipped many manufacturing jobs overseas because it was cheap.
00:16:35.720
American Giant decided, you know what, I think it's time to go in the other direction.
00:16:42.000
They work with American factories and American workers who still believe how something is made actually matters.
0.68
00:16:49.960
From the fabric to the stitching to the focus on craftsmanship and long-term wear, not just what looks good on a website, when production is close to home, standards aren't abstract.
00:17:02.480
Because something made with calloused hands tend to last longer than something designed by an algorithm.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:17:31.140
And if you were watching carefully, not through Twitter, not through the spin room, not through cable chyrons, but actually watching the room, you saw something that should concern every Democratic strategist in America.
00:17:45.920
You saw something in the room that if you vote for the Democrats should have made you question, who am I standing with?
00:17:55.720
The damage was done by the people who refused to stand or clap for the most obvious things.
00:18:14.120
This was the best speech President Trump has ever given.
00:18:19.560
And I urge you, go back and look at when he was walking out.
00:18:28.200
When he's walking out and he's shaking people's hands on the way out, the guy looks 20 years younger.
00:18:39.100
He walked in strong, clear, disciplined, not tired, not wandering.
00:18:45.780
He was on prompter, yes, but he commanded the prompter, unlike any time I've ever seen him give a speech.
00:18:56.180
He had key moments like the hockey team that was human, that was light, that was confident.
00:19:03.780
The opening statistics I thought were overwhelming.
00:19:13.300
The most important thing is he did not look like he was defensive.
00:19:20.100
And Donald Trump has been on the defense for most of his presidency, not necessarily this term, but last term.
00:19:29.580
And then when he was running for president, and even towards the beginning of this first or this second term,
00:19:37.180
he has been saying, look, it's going to be great.
00:19:50.660
He knew what he had done, and he was commanding as president of the United States.
00:19:59.540
Although that's big news, that's not the story.
00:20:06.640
When you have a third of them not standing for the U.S. hockey team, what is going on?
00:20:17.500
No real applause for the Olympics or the World Cup coming to America?
00:20:22.840
Muted response for the first World War II veteran?
00:20:30.980
Polite, restrained clapping for the Coast Guard rescue mission?
00:20:36.680
The moment that was the most powerful moment I have ever seen any president give other than Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall.
00:20:48.400
There was no moment in presidential history in my lifetime that was as strong as that until last night.
00:20:56.400
Stand if you agree the first job of government is to protect the American citizen and not foreign citizens.
0.98
00:21:08.080
That's the easiest applause line ever presented in American politics.
00:21:21.000
Is the job of the American government, Congress, to protect the American citizen or illegals or foreign citizens?
00:21:37.340
Hesitation, folding of arms, looking down, no one clapping, no one standing up on that side of the aisle.
00:21:50.340
That's something that even if you don't believe in, you stand up for.
00:21:55.400
It's something that you go, like, I don't believe in this, but this is going to look really, really bad.
00:22:02.520
You don't damage your opponent when you do that.
00:22:07.540
This was the worst night for any brand, and maybe twice as bad for the night that Coca-Cola came out and said,
00:22:21.380
we're getting rid of the original recipe and we're going right for new Coke.
00:22:25.800
I mean, that did brand damage like I've never seen before.
00:22:28.760
This, I'm not sure the Democrats survived the brand damage that they're doing right now.
00:22:41.940
The American people last night were not watching like operatives.
00:22:54.160
If you can't stand for protecting citizens, something is very broken.
00:23:01.600
The border section was devastating to the Democrats.
00:23:17.240
Now a little girl in first grade kissing her father.
00:23:23.820
Calling for commercial license to be denied to illegal immigrants because of her and calling it Delilah's law.
0.98
00:23:36.180
You can't clap for removing dangerous rapists and criminals from the country?
00:23:44.200
We can disagree on immigration policy all you want.
00:23:52.840
But when you can't stand for deporting violent criminals, that's not a strategy.
00:24:08.800
Because America looked at that and went, do these people hate our country?
00:24:20.360
The average person, you had to walk away with that.
00:24:25.140
The contrast on all of it, I mean, the economic contrast, very sharp.
00:24:30.000
He talked about, you know, inflation and how they drove up inflation by spending too much energy.
00:24:38.520
They drove up inflation because they stopped drilling, you know.
00:24:51.360
Everybody in the country knows health care is being crushed.
00:25:10.160
When he comes out and he says, look, you're going to pay, what was it, the IVF thing.
00:25:18.960
When he talks about any of the drug costs, going from $4,000 to $500,
00:25:35.500
Did you notice that when they introduced Michael Dell, who gave, what was it, $6 billion,
00:25:42.280
some crazy amount of money, to these, you know, to the, you know, these America accounts.
00:25:49.080
So, your kids can be, when they're born, they can get an account worth, I don't know how much.
00:25:55.600
Well, Michael Dell gives, he and his wife give, I don't remember what it was.
00:26:00.140
I think it was, I think it was $6 billion, wasn't it?
00:26:12.100
They don't stand for a guy who just gave the nation and the children and the most vulnerable $6 billion.
00:26:20.440
They will stand and applaud for, we want to take more of these rich billionaires' money,
00:26:26.760
but we're going to take it, we're going to use it for the IRS, we're going to take it,
00:26:33.900
They'll cheer for taking and crushing billionaires, but they can't stand and applaud a man who
00:26:41.980
voluntarily gave $6 billion to the government to help children.
00:26:51.640
They could not applaud for a deduction on your auto loan for the first time in history.
00:27:07.780
They couldn't applaud when he talked about 401ks are up, what was it, 30%, I think?
00:27:16.360
I mean, I know that you don't feel it, and quite frankly, it's hard to feel.
00:27:23.880
When I go to a fast food restaurant and I'm rolling out of there and it's just Tanya and I
00:27:30.220
and we've just spent $35 at McDonald's, I have a hard time going, inflation's under control.
00:27:36.900
If you're trying to buy a house, I completely get it.
00:27:42.720
but I don't think the average person has looked at their 401k either.
00:27:50.600
He said, since I took office, the typical 401k balance is up by at least $30,000.
00:28:11.860
Applauded for the Wall Street being banned from buying up single-family homes.
00:28:20.680
They didn't stand for paying the lowest prescription drug price paid anywhere in the world.
00:28:26.440
I have always said, Democrats, why do you have a problem with us overpaying here in America,
00:28:32.640
that we're paying the highest drug price in the world?
00:28:34.820
Aren't we the wealthiest 1% in the entire world?
00:28:39.900
America is, when you look at it globally, we are the wealthiest 1% in the world.
00:28:45.100
You always say the wealthiest 1% should pay more.
00:28:51.940
the way you allow America to have her eyes pushed in
00:28:57.000
with the thumbs of the insurance and the drug companies,
00:29:01.120
it at least fits your view that the wealthiest 1% should pay the highest
00:29:10.580
even the poorest are among the wealthiest 1% in the world.
00:29:37.460
You can argue whether any of these mechanisms will work long-term.
00:29:46.720
The Democrats last night offered facial expressions,
00:29:55.160
You see Rashida Tlaib wearing a pin that said F-ice.
00:30:04.100
They offered angry insults, screaming on the floor.
00:30:23.900
It's got to be done because it doesn't have anything
00:30:28.020
It will never be used to support health care for illegal aliens.
0.84
00:31:08.940
You know, John McCain, everybody was on fire because he said two words, you lie.
00:31:15.300
Last night, they were screaming, you kill Americans.
00:31:24.000
Representatives were screaming, you kill Americans.
00:31:37.400
When he said Republicans voted for tax cuts and every Democrat voted against them, they sat.
00:31:43.660
But when he said stop insider trading in Congress, Elizabeth Warren stood.
0.99
00:31:54.720
When he said we're putting the American worker first, arms folded.
00:31:58.860
Do you know what the American voters saw last night?
00:32:12.360
It was the most patriotic speech I have seen given by a president in a very long time.
00:32:23.600
I want to start with the audio, which I have never, ever seen anything like it.
00:32:53.660
Listen to this, where he is just asking people, just stand.
00:33:01.640
So tonight I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle.
00:33:09.580
If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support.
00:33:14.180
The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.
0.61
00:33:49.200
This is the biggest political mistake I've ever seen a party make.
00:33:54.520
You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up.
00:33:59.440
That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities.
00:34:06.720
Do you notice here, I've never heard the president speak so forcefully.
00:34:11.960
I mean, he was almost talking like this a couple of times, where you're like, what?
00:34:17.060
It's because he was trying to drown out the shouts from the high schoolers that call themselves congressmen who were shouting, you kill American citizens.
00:34:36.720
That's why I'm introducing, because he wanted to drown them out.
00:34:40.580
I've never seen anything like it from a country that went from Joe Wilson saying, you lie, and the whole nation stopped.
00:34:48.620
How dare you do that to the president of the United States?
00:34:52.540
You don't disrespect the president in the State of the Union.
00:34:56.180
To that, I was surprised they didn't start throwing things at him.
00:35:02.360
I was shocked they didn't start throwing things at him.
00:35:11.540
Now, do we have the place to where he is talking about here?
00:35:26.060
Him calling for the, you know, for ending the shutdown.
00:35:30.380
As we speak, Democrats in this chamber have cut off all funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
00:35:42.200
They have instituted another Democrat shutdown, the first one costing us two points on GDP.
00:35:49.260
Two points we lost on GDP, which probably made them quite happy, actually.
00:35:53.380
Now, they have closed the agency responsible for protecting Americans from terrorists and murderers.
00:36:01.120
Tonight, I'm demanding the full and immediate restoration of all funding for the border security, homeland security of the United States,
00:36:10.120
and also for helping people clean up their snow.
00:36:14.520
Now, we have no money because of the Democrats, and it would be nice, you'd love to give your hand to clean it up, but you gave no money.
00:36:26.620
We have, in case you didn't know, a pretty large snowstorm out there.
00:36:37.920
But anybody who thought he was petty, you know what he didn't say has been defunded?
00:36:50.860
As they continue to try to kill this president, they're defunding Secret Service.
00:36:59.160
To me, that took a man much bigger than me because I would have said,
00:37:06.420
I've had attempt on my life after attempt on my life, and you people are responsible because you keep saying I'm a Nazi,
00:37:15.240
and you have the gall to cut the budget and stop paying Secret Service to protect not just me, but our judges and some of you.
00:37:32.200
You have a responsibility to protect the constitutional order.
00:37:47.260
Now, it's amazing to me how some people are saying, you know, well, he didn't get any of the facts right.
00:37:59.760
So let's look at what he said last night because a lot of them that they say he didn't get right, well, it was mostly true, but we don't have enough evidence yet.
00:38:14.720
I had inherited a nation in crisis with stagnant economy inflation at record levels.
00:38:32.520
He says inflation is plummeting, core inflation down to the lowest level in more than five years.
00:38:37.860
In the last three months of 2025, it was down to 1.7%.
00:38:41.300
The BLS says core CPI is at 2.5 to 2.6 year over year, December and January 26, the lowest in years, but not at 1.7.
00:38:55.520
Gasoline, he said, now below $2.30 a gallon in most states, $1.99 where I've seen it, and $1.85 a gallon I saw at a gas station in Iowa.
00:39:13.100
Well, it's sure the hell better than $4 a gallon, isn't it?
00:39:27.020
He said, I saw a gas station in Iowa, and in most states, it's $2.30.
00:39:40.220
Mortgage rates are the lowest in four years and falling fast.
00:39:42.900
The annual cost of a typical new mortgage is down almost $5,000 since I took office.
00:39:50.420
Rates fell in 2025, but not to a four-year low across the board.
00:39:57.000
Exact $5,000 savings not independently verified at scale.
00:40:05.100
The stock market is at 53, all-time record highs.
00:40:10.340
Dow Jones broke $50,000 four years ahead of schedule.
00:40:15.320
Dow Jones hit $50,000 in early February, not at $53,000.
00:40:35.060
It just broke, because he follows it, all-time highs.
00:40:43.680
In 12 months, I've secured commitments for more than $18 trillion new investments.
00:40:57.060
No independent government or news confirmation of exact $18 trillion figure in commitments.
00:41:08.220
Because when you look at those numbers and you add them up, and if they actually come through,
00:41:14.720
and this is all you need to say, $18 trillion, okay, that's what he says, but that money is trickling in.
00:41:23.080
There's maybe been a trillion of it that has come in so far.
00:41:32.540
American oil production is up by more than 600,000 barrels a day.
00:41:37.580
Plausible, but unconfirmed is the exact figure of 600,000.
00:41:43.540
American natural gas production is at an all-time high.
00:41:48.040
More Americans are working today than any other time in the history of our country.
00:41:51.880
100% of all jobs created were in the private sector.
00:41:58.560
More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country.
00:42:04.140
100% of all jobs created were created in the private sector.
00:42:15.700
That's important because we're not growing the size of the government.
00:42:19.840
All the jobs that have been created in the last, you know, during the last administration,
00:42:25.320
the vast majority of them were all government sector.
00:42:31.360
We cut the record number of job-killing regulations, lifted 2.4 million Americans off of food stamps.
00:42:39.100
Snap rolls declined, but exact 2.4 million record, not independently verified, as largest one in one year.
00:42:57.780
Interest on auto loans tax deductible if made in America.
00:43:04.600
The typical 401k balance is up by at least $30,000.
00:43:11.560
Strong 2025 market gains boosted balances, but not exact averages increase varies by source.
00:43:18.140
So, we found another source that said it was, what, $23,000?
00:43:34.560
So, you can pick either and say either one of those is true and probably won't be wrong or that wrong.
00:43:41.140
The point is, is that America's 401ks, I didn't even think of that.
00:43:47.020
I didn't think that 401k, the average American 401k, let's just use 23,000.
00:44:00.820
Do you know how much I've lost in the stock market?
00:44:02.420
You know how much my 401k, how am I going to retire?
00:44:04.960
In the last year, if your 401k is up $23,000 or $30,000, that's a big deal.
00:44:13.720
In one year, the flow of deadly fentanyl across our border is down by a record 56% in one year.
00:44:23.440
The murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded history.
00:44:28.560
It's the biggest decline, lowest number in over 125 years.
00:44:33.940
Homicides fell 21% in 2025 across major cities.
00:44:40.100
National rate likely lowest, likely lowest since 1900.
00:44:46.200
Members of the Somalia community have pillaged an estimated $19 billion, Minnesota, California, Massachusetts, Maine, even worse.
1.00
00:45:00.480
Real fraud cases existed in feeding programs, et cetera.
00:45:04.280
But the totals were in the hundreds of millions, not $19 billion nationwide.
00:45:10.420
And I don't think I take the press on their number more than I take what the president is saying on the number.
00:45:17.780
I'm telling you right now, a third of our debt, a third of our debt is going to, in the end, be because of fraud.
00:45:32.340
That's how big I think the fraud is in the United States government.
00:45:36.700
I think a third of our debt, not our deficit, our yearly deficit.
00:45:44.340
I think he said, didn't he say half or a third of our debt?
00:45:51.840
He said we would wipe out our national deficit.
00:45:53.960
If we just eliminate the fraud, we will wipe out our national deficit, and we will balance the books.
00:46:04.520
Crime in D.C. is now at the lowest level ever recorded, and murders in D.C. this January were down close to 100%.
00:46:13.300
Homicides are down sharply, 67% year-to-date, early 2026 versus prior January 2026.
00:46:20.960
Very low, only one to two cases, not almost no crime, or exactly 100%.
00:46:29.020
That's how they, not almost no crime, or exactly 100%.
00:46:38.560
The point is, is that when he said that, and he said crime is down dramatically, we're at the lowest crime in over 100 years,
00:46:47.220
the murder rate is down, the Democrats didn't applaud.
