00:00:20.000 Your idea of never missing out happens here.

00:00:30.000 Why are we getting more data and more information from people like, you know, Cam Higby or Data Republican than we are from, I don't know, our own federal government?
00:00:40.000 I've heard tell of this NSA thing that records every keystroke you've ever made.
00:00:48.000 Why are they not a part of this to find out and separate the protesters from the insurrectionists?
00:00:55.000 Especially since it looks like money is coming in from overseas.
00:00:59.000 Also, Stu and I look back on our time together, time that, well, one of the times when we weren't sure that if what we talked about with the president in a, you know, set up an interview, a very important interview right after 9-11 was even being recorded.
00:01:14.000 And we told the president it was.
00:01:17.000 Was it? Find out.
00:01:18.000 Also, Chip Roy is on.
00:01:20.000 You know, he's running for the attorney general of the state of Texas.
00:01:25.000 I think he'd make a great attorney general in Texas.
00:01:27.000 But one of the things in the first time I've heard him not be very, very clear.
00:01:33.000 And I think it's because it's almost unspeakable.
00:01:36.000 He's talking about what's happening in Minnesota.
00:01:38.000 And now states have decisions to make.
00:01:41.000 And we are looking if this doesn't stop in Minnesota.
00:01:44.000 I think we are looking at the end of the Republic.
00:01:47.000 We are starting to shake apart.
00:01:49.000 You don't want to miss this interview with Chip Roy, all on today's program.
00:01:56.000 First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
00:01:58.000 What if you could wake up tomorrow and just do one thing better than, you know, you're doing today with your money?
00:02:05.000 Just one simple change that puts your dollars to work in a way that actually lines up with what you believe.
00:02:11.000 Start with your cell phone service.
00:02:13.000 Good place to start.
00:02:14.000 It's something you're already paying for every month, something you need.
00:02:17.000 You're not adding a new expense.
00:02:19.000 You're just deciding where that money goes by switching to Patriot Mobile.
00:02:23.000 It gives you that option.
00:02:24.000 They offer reliable nationwide coverage, competitive plans.
00:02:28.000 And they are a company that is built around Christian conservative values instead of your money disappearing into the corporate void
00:02:34.000 and maybe ending up helping people get an abortion like it does with Planned Parenthood and Verizon's stuff.
00:02:42.000 Maybe instead, you know, you're a member of Patriot Mobile and you're going to help, you know, strengthen the First Amendment or religious liberty or fight the good fight.
00:02:53.000 PatriotMobile.com slash back.
00:02:55.000 Call 972-PATRIOT.

00:03:53.000 Now let's get to work.
00:04:02.000 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:04:06.000 I just want to point out that just what Higby and Data Republican have done in just this last week that even Red State is now reporting on.
00:04:19.000 I'm this I'm giving you an article from Red State kind of summarizing everything.
00:04:23.000 It it's it's really remarkable what average people are doing.
00:04:28.000 I mean, they are breaking this up a few hours ago.
00:04:32.000 Higby said that he's not 100 percent certain that Flanagan is the lieutenant governor of Minnesota is the name is the same.
00:04:44.000 He's not 100 percent sure.
00:04:45.000 He said, however, there's circumstantial evidence that that is her.
00:04:50.000 But I think it's important to point out we don't know for sure.
00:04:54.000 That's why I say the government has to be very, very careful on everything, you know, only come out with the facts when they're when they're doing this.
00:05:03.000 She is involved in stirring up local activists.
00:05:06.000 She has said, you know, that people need to put their bodies in the way of, you know, put their bodies on the line in protest, which, you know, is great.
00:05:13.000 But here's here's an interesting fact in the Red State article.
00:05:16.000 Listen to this.
00:05:17.000 It's clear that Walls, Fry and Flanagan want this insurrection to continue because it takes the focus off the massive fraud that has been occurring in that state.
00:05:26.000 Much of it with Walsh's knowledge.
00:05:29.000 Believe that's absolutely a fact.
00:05:31.000 That's why this is happening in the way it is.
00:05:34.000 They have got to stop this because it's going to pull a thread all across the country related to that.
00:05:40.000 Now, listen to this.
00:05:42.000 It's interesting that the address where the shooting occurred.
00:05:45.000 This is of of good was at 2614 Nicolette.
00:05:51.000 Now that address, that's where the shooting occurred.
00:05:54.000 Also, that's the address of an eleven hundred square foot building that is home to eight businesses.
00:06:02.000 Eight.
00:06:03.000 It's eleven hundred square feet.
00:06:06.000 So, you know, I mean, my just my radio studios that I'm building here and, you know, the offices here for just my radio business is eleven thousand square feet.
00:06:18.000 My studios in Dallas are eighty thousand square feet and I have three businesses in that in that facility.
00:06:24.000 Okay.
00:06:25.000 Eleven hundred square feet.
00:06:30.000 That's like a New York apartment and you have eight businesses in there.
00:06:34.000 Now, those eight businesses.
00:06:37.000 Listen to this.
00:06:38.000 Smart Therapy Center.
00:06:40.000 American.
00:06:41.000 The New American Development Center.
00:06:43.000 The Nicolette Senior Center.
00:06:45.000 The United Wellness Center.
00:06:47.000 African-American Family Services.
00:06:50.000 Millennium Health Services.
00:06:52.000 Bloom Home Health and Global Interpreting Innovations.
00:06:56.000 Those are the eight businesses in this eleven hundred square foot building.
00:07:01.000 Oh, and by the way, by the way, I don't know if you saw the theme there.
00:07:05.000 By the way, there are one hundred and eighty four national provider identifier numbers listed at doing business at that address.
00:07:14.000 One hundred and eighty four national identifier provider identifier numbers.
00:07:22.000 So people who are providers that get money listed at doing business at that eleven hundred square foot place.
00:07:29.000 And that.
00:07:33.000 Is also where the shooting happened.
00:07:37.000 That is weird.
00:07:38.000 That is really, really weird.
00:07:42.000 Um, and it's weird that, you know, one hundred and eighty four providers, uh, and eight businesses in eleven hundred square feet never sent up a single red flag, not one whatsoever.
00:07:52.000 By the way, I think it was Cam Higbee that found this, uh, found this, um, because he's, he is looking for not only the names of people, but he's also looking for, um, uh, the, uh, the places that are, are being used as hubs.
00:08:11.000 For this insurrection.
00:08:13.000 For this insurrection.
00:08:14.000 Is this one of those hubs?
00:08:15.000 I don't know.
00:08:16.000 Uh, Higbee has said more information is, uh, is coming soon.
00:08:21.000 This is quite remarkable.
00:08:25.000 Um, and it's quite remarkable that you have all of these people involved, um, in this insurrection.
00:08:36.000 This insurrection.
00:08:37.000 And that is who I want the government to be very, very careful on.
00:08:41.000 And I want to see those people arrested because the problem is not the average protester.
00:08:48.000 Now, I don't know how many average protesters are out there in comparison to, uh, you know, how many people are, you know, the diehards, the turtle Island people.
00:08:59.000 I don't know.
00:09:00.000 You know, um, Renee good, you know, they tried to make her look like just an innocent person.
00:09:06.000 Um, but I don't think she was, uh, you know, she seems to be more of a turtle Island kind of person.
00:09:15.000 Once you cross that line, once you go from, Hey, I just want justice to, I want the destruction of the United States of America.
00:09:21.000 You cross a line mentally, you cross a line.
00:09:24.000 You're not looking for justice and reconciliation like Martin Luther King.
00:09:27.000 Instead, you're looking for an insurrection and either a civil war or an overthrow of this government.
00:09:34.000 And that makes you different.
00:09:35.000 Same thing with the, um, uh, what was his name?
00:09:39.000 Um, pretty that was, uh, was shot.
00:09:43.000 And I'm going to get into this later.
00:09:45.000 Cause I think this is really important.
00:09:46.000 We have to be able to hold two things in our heads at the same time.
00:09:50.000 The guy should not have been shot.
00:09:52.000 Uh, that was, that was, I don't think it was careless.
00:09:55.000 I think that was cops under pressure in a very bad situation.
00:10:00.000 You know, an 8,000% increase on threats on their lives.
00:10:06.000 You know, you, you tend to get a little nervous.
00:10:08.000 Somebody shouted gun, gun, gun.
00:10:10.000 The officer pulled out his gun, shot him.
00:10:13.000 Now he shot him several times, but again, I think that's adrenaline, but you know, you can, you can look at that and go, that didn't happen the way I think it should have.
00:10:22.000 Um, and I'll withhold judgment on that until everything comes out and everybody's common.
00:10:27.000 We're just looking at facts and hearing everything, but the same thing here can be held on the other guy.
00:10:33.000 Um, you know, when you first look at it, you're like, okay, this, the guy's not aggressive.
00:10:39.000 And now we're finding out that he had either a bruised or a broken rib, uh, from a confrontation that he had with police just a couple of days ago.
00:10:48.000 Well, that changes things that changes.
00:10:51.000 I mean, in the court of law, that changes things.
00:10:55.000 Now you're looking and say, wait a minute, he was engaged, engaging with the police.
00:11:01.000 This was not an isolated incident.
00:11:03.000 He did bring a gun and he most likely knew he would somehow or another get into an incident because he just had gotten into an incident with a police officer and had either bruised or broken rib from that.
00:11:17.000 So we now know he's not just some innocent bystander either.
00:11:21.000 So I don't know how many good guys are actually out on the street and how many are really actually insurrectionist.
00:11:26.000 I know this thing is, um, you know, is organized by nothing but insurrectionist and, and the same thing is happening.
00:11:37.000 Linda Sarsour and the Singham network are now saying they're going to bring the nation to its knees tomorrow.
00:11:43.000 Or no, sorry, Friday, I bring it to his knees on Friday.
00:11:47.000 Yep.
00:11:48.000 Because all these people are going to leave work and they're not going to go to school.
00:11:53.000 They're not going to go shopping and they're not going to go to work.
00:11:56.000 Oh, boo, who cry me a river.
00:11:58.000 The rest of us are okay.
00:12:00.000 The rest of us are, but this is something now.
00:12:04.000 I mean, you now have the largest nurses union in the country saying, you got to do this nurses.
00:12:12.000 This is to me, the nurses and the doctor thing is the most frightening.
00:12:17.000 Because if you, if you get these nurses and doctors, remember, I played a nurse for you yesterday from Virginia who said, take a syringe and fill it with, I don't remember what the drug was, but it was a paralytic and jam it into the neck of an ice agent because maybe they'll wake up.
00:12:34.000 Wait, you're now talking about jamming a syringe into the neck of an ice agent to make them paralyzed at least for a little while.
00:12:43.000 Are you out of your mind?
00:12:44.000 That's a nurse that said that.
00:12:47.000 That said that when you get nurses, um, and you get doctors on board in this kind of thinking where, you know what, if they don't take the jab, they're not worth treating, let them die.
00:13:00.000 Then you're all bets are off.
00:13:02.000 You're in a completely different culture, but this general strike.
00:13:06.000 So, you know, this is happening, um, a national shutdown, large scale marches, uh, and a day of no work, no school, no shopping.
00:13:15.000 Oh, the kids everywhere are very disappointed.
00:13:17.000 Um, it's a Marxist revolutionary people's forum, uh, the left wing breakthrough news media outlet, the party for socialism and liberation, the far left code pink anti-war group, the act now and stop war and end racism answer coalition.
00:13:36.000 They're all promoting this.
00:13:37.000 They're all promoting this.
00:13:38.000 So, I mean, I mean, what are you, you're going to join them.
00:13:44.000 Wake up America, wake up.
00:13:48.000 Now, I personally don't think that this is going to be a big deal.
00:13:51.000 It might be on some college campuses and in some very, you know, blue cities, but, uh, the rest of the, the rest of the country is not going to go that way.
00:14:03.000 Just not going to go that way.
00:14:04.000 Listen, here's the point of this hour.
00:14:08.000 There are good things happening and it's, it's people like you.
00:14:13.000 It's, it's normal people who have a skill.
00:14:16.000 Data Republican is just a mole, man.
00:14:18.000 She just knows how to find stuff.
00:14:20.000 Cam Higby seems to be the same kind of person just goes in and knows how to find stuff and is exposing all of it.
00:14:27.000 Um, and you have people, you have people, uh, Ryan Morrow doing the same thing.
00:14:33.000 Uh, with us yesterday, we exposed a big thing that we, that he found, um, as well in his investigation.
00:14:40.000 So a lot of things are happening.
00:14:42.000 Here is the other thing that I want to point out.
00:14:44.000 The federal government, Donald Trump just issued a statement today asking for certain things and saying, there's no, there's, there's no quarter on this.
00:14:53.000 You are going to do these things.
00:14:55.000 And that is enforce the federal law.
00:14:58.000 You have to turn these criminal aliens over.
00:15:01.000 Um, and you know, Minnesota saying they're not going to, I think they're going to fight on this one, but Donald Trump, I believe will be prepared.
00:15:10.000 Um, politically, uh, he'll also be prepared, um, with the public and the press.
00:15:18.000 Um, and of course I wouldn't count him out with Homan on getting the job done.
00:15:23.000 Right.
00:15:24.000 Um, but he is investigating FBI is investigating, et cetera, et cetera.
00:15:29.000 But so far, everything that has been found has been found by people like Cam Higby.
00:15:38.000 Can I ask you what the hell we're paying the, uh, NSA for what?
00:15:44.000 I mean, they have, I don't remember what the spooky computer is called, you know, Colossus that, that has every keystroke you've ever made.
00:15:57.000 They, we have an insurrection going on and the NSA is not able to track this stuff down and connect all the dots.
00:16:06.000 What the hell did we pay for?
00:16:08.000 Cause I know they can track down anything that if you're doing something, they're going to track that down.
00:16:15.000 What this is, this is the thing that we need to start asking the government.
00:16:19.000 What the hell did we pay for?
00:16:22.000 Why did we have to give all of this, you know, ground on the Patriot act?
00:16:29.000 You you're recording every keystroke, every American makes.
00:16:34.000 We know it.
00:16:36.000 It's true.
00:16:37.000 So why the hell are we having Cam Higby being the one that is saying, by the way, did you see this?
00:16:44.000 The NSA, the government should be standing up every day going, here it is.
00:16:49.000 And here's the definitive connection to everything that they're doing.
00:16:54.000 Here's how they're all related.
00:16:56.000 And here come the charges.
00:16:58.000 I would expect to see that pretty soon.
00:17:01.000 And if not again, Pam Bondi, I would ask, why isn't that happening?
00:17:10.000 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:17:12.000 And we really want to thank you for listening.
00:17:17.000 Chip Roy, not going to pass anything in the house that doesn't include Department of Homeland Security.
00:17:24.000 Yeah, Glenn, that would be a mistake.
00:17:27.000 And yesterday, the House Freedom Caucus, we put out a letter making very clear that if they want to split off Homeland Security, that's not our view.
00:17:33.000 We don't think that's the right way to do it.
00:17:35.000 If they you know, we passed a bill that funds the Department of War, that funds to better for better or worse, by the way.
00:17:40.000 I mean, I didn't support a lot of several bills in this package. Right.
00:17:43.000 The labor age, health care, education, a lot of crap in there.
00:17:46.000 I don't like, you know, the provisions and transportation.
00:17:49.000 There's earmarks that I don't like.
00:17:51.000 But we came together.
00:17:52.000 We passed a product and an agreement.
00:17:54.000 I voted for the Homeland bill, despite some reservations, because we need to fund Border Patrol.
00:17:58.000 We need to fund ICE and we support.
00:18:00.000 And frankly, we trust the president to get it done.
00:18:02.000 So we should stand by the president, stand behind ICE, stand behind Border Patrol.
00:18:06.000 But we should not isolate Homeland Security and allow it to be a political punching bag by the left.
00:18:14.000 How is that going to play with the American people?
00:18:16.000 Have you seen any polling on this?
00:18:18.000 I mean, is this popular with the American people?
00:18:24.000 What the Democrats are doing?
00:18:26.000 Oh, right.
00:18:27.000 So, yeah, I mean, I don't believe so.
00:18:29.000 I, you know, look, I haven't seen any polling in the last two days other than the kind of fly by night polling.
00:18:34.000 You've got to get legitimate polling.
00:18:36.000 I think the American people want us to continue to do the job.
00:18:39.000 Now, look, they wanted us to do it the right way.
00:18:41.000 I mean, Glenn, you and I and most of your listeners are civil libertarians, right?
00:18:45.000 We don't want an authoritarian government just running around arresting random people.
00:18:50.000 But that's not what's happening here.
00:18:52.000 ICE and Border Patrol are trying to zero in and focus on removing bad actors.
00:18:57.000 By the way, Glenn, 1.5 million people in the United States are under orders of removal from a judge.
00:19:04.000 Like, people act like this is just made up stuff.
00:19:06.000 We have massive numbers of people under orders of removal.
00:19:10.000 We have dangerous individuals affiliated with gangs.
00:19:12.000 We have robbers, rapists, sodomists, people that they've been pulling off the streets.
00:19:17.000 And the reason there's difficulty, the reason that ICE and Border Patrol are having more issues is because of people like Governor Walz and the mayor of Minneapolis who are continuing even today to tweet out that they have no intent of having their local law enforcement work to remove illegal aliens.
00:19:34.000 Like, literally, the Minneapolis mayor said that today, which is very clearly unhelpful and not working with the feds to do the job, which is making it harder on them.
00:19:43.000 And we have a duty to enforce the law.
00:19:45.000 I think the American people are with us on that.
00:19:46.000 We should stay the course.
00:19:48.000 And the president has made it very, very clear that this is this is not about going scooping other people up.
00:19:54.000 This is about give us the people you already have in jail.
00:19:58.000 Give us the people who are criminals and you have warrants on give us those people.
00:20:03.000 Right.
00:20:05.000 So that's exactly right.
00:20:06.000 And those arrested, those arrested, you've got to go through the entirety and say, look, here, it's a cultural thing.
00:20:14.000 If the governor of Minnesota and the mayor of Minneapolis simply said we will cooperate with federal law enforcement, we will share those people that have been that are in jail, that have been convicted, that have been arrested.
00:20:28.000 And we will share that information to identify the people that must be removed under our laws, including those under court order to be removed.
00:20:37.000 Again, Glenn, we don't have a nation.
00:20:40.000 We don't have sovereignty if this isn't something we can easily agree to.
00:20:44.000 And if we can't agree to that, then I've got to figure I've got to start thinking about whether it is even possible to be in unity with people who don't believe we should be a sovereign nation.
00:20:58.000 What does that mean, Chip?
00:21:00.000 It means that I don't know how you coexist with a governor of another state who refuses to enforce the law and says that he has the right to put dangerous people on the streets of Minneapolis or Minnesota who can get in their car on I-35 from Minneapolis and be to Dallas or Austin, Texas within the day.
00:21:22.000 Somebody tell me how that works.
00:21:25.000 It doesn't.
00:21:26.000 You either enforce the laws under our Constitution, where the Constitution gives direct authority, not all this mindless nonsense that these guys typically do, right, where they use the federal government, they use the Constitution to say the federal government can do whatever it wants, whatever program, whatever spending, which, by the way, is not true.
00:21:44.000 But the Constitution directly contemplates that the federal government will be setting the laws with respect to immigration and so forth.
00:21:50.000 It doesn't mean states can't enforce their own laws to secure their border, by the way.
00:21:53.000 But what it does mean is that the federal government has the authority and the duty to be able to uphold our immigration laws and to remove people.
00:22:03.000 And if the states aren't going to work with us on that, then what is left is for people of states like Texas to take the steps necessary to defend our people.
00:22:15.000 Which means what?
00:22:18.000 Which means we have to start making decisions in Texas about saying, look, maybe we have to start thinking about who's coming into Texas from Minnesota.
00:22:28.000 Like, we have to start deciding how are we going to protect our people in the state of Texas if the other states, if the other leaders in this country are going to thwart the federal government's ability and the federal government's duty to keep us safe and secure.
00:22:46.000 Remember, it was Democrats, these same Democrats that said, oh, you guys just have to deal with wide open borders, which was lawlessness.
00:22:53.000 And the state of Texas being told, well, you've just got to deal with literally hundreds of thousands of people flooding into your state.
00:23:00.000 Now they want to have the other argument, which is now we're going to thwart enforcement so that you, the people of Texas, have to be put in danger because we refuse to secure the state of Minnesota or any other state that has a similar track record.
00:23:13.000 So if they're going to upend the rule of law, then we, the people of Texas and as leaders in Texas, are going to have to make decisions about what are we going to do to protect our own people.
00:23:24.000 So that would raise those questions.
00:23:26.000 Where are you coming from?
00:23:28.000 Why are you coming into the state of Texas?
00:23:30.000 And where are you from?
00:23:32.000 And whether or not they should be coming into the state of Texas.
00:23:36.000 Is this, is this to you the way this is unfolding?
00:23:44.000 I mean, I, I really think because of the, um, the, the huge fraud problem in Minnesota, I think that's why these politicians are acting the way they are.
00:23:55.000 They're, they're looking to kind of go away and right.
00:23:58.000 Um, yep.
00:24:00.000 But with everything that we're seeing, um, and you know, people like data Republican cam Higbee are revealing, is this not a clear case for insurrection?
00:24:10.000 Look, I have said, and the freedom caucus yesterday said in the letter we put out that we believe that the president would be well within his rights to invoke the insurrection act, uh, which dates back over 200 years, uh, for justice purpose to, to make sure that we can stop this interference.
00:24:29.000 By the way, we should, we can use any number of federal laws, uh, from obstruction of justice to specific laws on the books that, that, uh, can be enforced against people interfering with carrying out law enforcement.
00:24:40.120 But again, I just want to remind you, Glenn, I mean, cause, and I, I don't want to speak for you, but I suspect we're simpatico here that we do not like the raw power of the federal government being used to come into.
00:24:54.040 You know, I'm not looking to go empower massive federal law enforcement, um, individual, that's not how I'm wired.
00:25:02.280 And I don't think that's good in this case, the sovereignty of the nation and our ability to, what I said before, I know it's somewhat controversial, our ability to exist as a nation.
00:25:14.000 Okay.
00:25:14.480 And to unite requires us to stop the madness and to stop the lack of enforcement of the law.
00:25:21.380 And to your point about the fraud, that's a part of it too, right?
00:25:25.660 That they are stealing money from us in the form of fraud, both taxpayer funded money, as well as borrowed money to then fund people who are here, whether they're here legally or illegally, it's both in order to continue to prop them up.
00:25:40.740 And then prevent us from enforcing the law to not have dangerous individuals or people under, you know, order to be removed, who are using up resources, both legitimate and illegitimate.
00:25:54.300 And that destroys the country.
00:25:56.700 Like Glenn, we won't have a country left.
00:25:59.220 So we either win this battle right now.
00:26:01.480 We either rally around the president and say, enforce the law, enforce the sovereignty of the country and do it right.
00:26:07.940 Like Tom Homan going on the ground was a wise move by the president.
00:26:10.800 We need seasoned leadership by somebody who's been there before, who knows how to do it and can do it the right way.
00:26:18.340 Okay.
00:26:18.820 I don't think we should just go around just willy nilly, but we need to be able to work with law enforcement and we need to pressure the locals to work with us in order to ensure bad actors are removed.
00:26:27.920 So, Chip, I don't mean to keep hounding you on this.
00:26:32.600 I just don't feel like I understand the answer.
00:26:35.160 I know we have to consider other things and it'll put us in a position to where we have to think about other things.
00:26:41.640 But what are those other things?
00:26:44.640 Because we're entering a time to where the government, which I think is, I think Donald Trump did not wave the right white flag and Homan being sent there is a real key indication of that.
00:26:54.540 Also, what Trump tweeted this morning about, you know, you got to cover these five things.
00:26:59.820 He's very clear.
00:27:00.700 You are going to cooperate with the federal government on these things.
00:27:05.520 But, you know, if that doesn't happen, you what send in more people, you can't seem to arrest anybody because you can't get a judge in in Minnesota to sign off on any, you know, federal warrant.
00:27:20.940 So what options do we have that are good options?
00:27:28.460 Well, number one, this is where Congress steps in and has to be able to come together to use the power of the purse, which we have been to your point, which I no doubt you're no doubt are already thinking and about to say has not been effective.
00:27:39.660 We continue to fund the things that we complain about, like sanctuary cities.
00:27:44.620 We continue to fund, you know, the law enforcement that is not actually working with us.
00:27:51.140 I think we ought to not do that.
00:27:53.620 OK, and I think that the president ought to use every power that he can and that OMB director Russ Vogt can use every power he can to stop funding those people who are at odds with our way of life.
00:28:04.400 But we've got to just continue to we've got to continue to back the president.
00:28:10.260 The president has to continue to put the heat on these guys and we have to win politically.
00:28:14.720 That's what we have to do.
00:28:16.140 There's no other choice right now.
00:28:18.580 If we to your point and I don't believe the president is backing up or retreating or use the phrase waving the white flag.
00:28:25.120 And I agree with you that sending Tom Homan on the ground was a big sign of that and what the president's messaging has been.
00:28:32.380 But we cannot allow them, for example, to shut down homeland security funding because they're trying to play this political card after this last weekend.
00:28:44.660 We've got to refocus on fraud.
00:28:47.120 And, yes, we do need to figure out and go in and arrest and do the things we need to do.
00:28:51.280 And, look, I'm I'm frustrated at my Republican colleagues.
00:28:56.200 I tried to defund 20 percent of the budget for the D.C. circuit courts and D.C. district judges, Judge Boasberg and Judge Boardman, and they wouldn't do it.
00:29:05.820 We had 40, what, six Republicans who wouldn't do it.
00:29:08.420 So we have to those of us who believe and recognize what's at stake.
00:29:12.740 We have to keep our foot on the gas and we have to be willing to ruffle feathers.
00:29:16.620 I can promise you a lot of my Republican colleagues were mad that we offered that amendment, Glenn, but I offered it anyway because we have to expose the people who aren't going to recognize what time it is in America.
00:29:28.480 And then we need to make decisions in the primaries this year and this November about what we're going to do to save the country, because we either save it over these next three years under President Trump and, Lord willing, win another presidential election or there is no republic left.
00:29:42.500 You and I know this to be true.
00:29:43.900 You're streaming the best of Glenn Beck.
00:29:46.320 To hear more of this interview and others, download the full show podcasts wherever you get podcasts.
00:29:52.420 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:29:54.440 Stu's last day is on Friday, and it couldn't come faster for most of us in the audience, but it's been 27 years that we have been together, and it has truly been great.
00:30:10.800 And he's one of my favorite people in the whole world.
00:30:13.320 He's really, he is one of the smartest people, one of the, um, uh, one of the calmest people.
00:30:22.680 He has been really good, especially when I was younger, because I would be very, very hasty to jump and react.
00:30:30.800 And he was always the guy going, probably shouldn't say that probably shouldn't do that.
00:30:35.400 Let's wait until we get more facts on that.
00:30:37.500 And it saved me and my career more than I can count.
00:30:41.580 Um, and we really truly will, we'll miss him.
00:30:44.280 Um, Stu started as an intern for me years ago.
00:30:47.740 We met in a, uh, at a one Toyota, uh, and a, he was blowing up balloons and I was alone, you know, trying to say, Hey, come on down and look at this car as I was doing mornings years and years ago.
00:31:02.120 And people really reacted to that advice, didn't they?
00:31:04.820 I remember that day, uh, approximately, um, zero people came.
00:31:09.020 Um, so it was just me and you.
00:31:11.120 Nobody came.
00:31:11.620 It was a very sad, it was a very sad, humble beginnings does not really do that justice.
00:31:17.880 Um, but, uh, uh, uh, we sat because nobody came, we sat and we talked for a while and I realized this 18 year old kid was really astute and had studied radio and knew what was good and what was bad and why.
00:31:32.500 And I said, you should leave the promotions department.
00:31:35.480 You should intern for me.
00:31:37.040 And, uh, he said, uh, in his head, Oh, wow.
00:31:41.300 The guy who can't bring a single soul down to a one Toyota is offering me an internship.
00:31:46.040 How can I say no?
00:31:47.960 Unpaid.
00:31:48.440 An unpaid internship for a guy who can sell approximately zero automobiles.
00:31:53.380 Um, that's a, yeah, that was a tempting offer, Glenn.
00:31:56.200 Thank you for it.
00:31:57.100 Yeah.
00:31:57.780 But still again, because he's so pathetic, he took it.
00:32:03.420 Uh, looked good to me at the time.
00:32:05.200 Amazingly.
00:32:05.720 That's where I was in life.
00:32:07.040 I was like, yeah, that sounds great.
00:32:09.820 Actually, I think I'll do that.
00:32:11.200 I think I'll do that.
00:32:12.660 Uh, and I remember the first day he was with me.
00:32:14.740 I said, come on into the studio.
00:32:16.060 I want to teach you something.
00:32:16.880 Cause I was, I was a really good editor at the time.
00:32:20.340 Um, and I said, here, I want to teach you how to edit.
00:32:22.360 And he looked at me, I did the whole thing on tape and he looked at me and he said, and
00:32:27.440 why, why, why would I do that?
00:32:30.140 And I'm like, what do you, so you can edit the tape.
00:32:33.060 And he's like, yeah, let me show you something.
00:32:35.060 He pulled out his laptop and he did it in a fraction of the time.
00:32:39.160 And I'm like, lesson ended.
00:32:41.440 Thank you.
00:32:42.240 Uh, I got it.
00:32:43.320 And, uh, I think you've learned an important lesson.
00:32:45.600 You are now the editor of everything, uh, on this program.
00:32:50.080 Yeah.
00:32:50.240 That's a lesson I've learned from Glenn over the years, which is the second you show any
00:32:54.480 ability to do a thing, it's your, it's part of your new job.
00:32:59.180 It doesn't necessarily mean anything changes.
00:33:01.800 Like you don't drop old parts of your old job.
00:33:04.140 You just add a new thing to your new job, um, which doesn't necessarily better at me.
00:33:09.020 If you're, if you're better at, than me on things, you should be doing it, not me.
00:33:14.760 Uh, and I'm, I'm not, I'm not, you know, I'm humble enough to say there's a lot of things
00:33:19.700 that I shouldn't be doing in this job.
00:33:22.040 And then Stu went on to write for the show.
00:33:25.260 Um, he was instrumental in developing this show, um, at the very beginning, um, trying
00:33:32.120 to, you know, put it together, make sense of my ramblings and going, you know, maybe
00:33:35.380 we should cut this and do this.
00:33:36.920 And, um, when we went to Fox, he was, uh, the head writer of the Fox show.
00:33:43.320 He and Dan Andros, who was my head writer for a long time at Fox, um, because Stu just
00:33:49.380 decided Dan's better at this than I am.
00:33:52.640 So maybe he should take that on.
00:33:55.080 I learned from you.
00:33:55.880 You told me the apprentice.
00:33:58.340 He learns very well, um, uh, but that, which gave me more time to humiliate him, uh, on
00:34:06.320 the air.
00:34:06.760 Uh, if you remember the Fox show for no reason whatsoever, I would have him dress as a woman,
00:34:13.760 uh, as somebody who was like in the federal government or something, uh, that was, uh, you
00:34:21.380 know, talking to me about, you know, what Anita Dunn is doing or whatever.
00:34:24.660 There was really no reason other than to humiliate Stu, uh, which we have, that's our relationship.
00:34:31.400 He makes fun of me.
00:34:32.740 I make fun of him and we all go home happy.
00:34:35.940 Yeah.
00:34:36.380 I think what you just described is I try to make the show better and you make me dress
00:34:41.260 up like a woman.
00:34:42.320 So that's been our relationship for 28 years, which is, you know, again, who could want it
00:34:47.900 to end.
00:34:48.260 I have, I have also waterboarded you with chocolate milk, uh, which I don't think has
00:34:56.280 ever been done before.
00:34:57.300 No, we were trying to understand what waterboarding would be like.
00:35:02.680 And, uh, we decided to do it with chocolate milk, which was too chocolatey.
00:35:08.060 If I remember correctly, it was, it was, that's what you were saying at the end.
00:35:12.640 You were like, you know, here's the one thing, the stew is also for the air, uh, at his own
00:35:24.320 choice.
00:35:24.660 Not my, in fact, I was saying, you know, maybe you shouldn't do that.
00:35:27.780 He decided that he was going to drink roundup because he was convinced that it was safe to
00:35:34.680 drink roundup.
00:35:35.640 Um, now stew is some, a lot of people don't know this stew has lost both of his legs and
00:35:40.800 he's blind in one eye, but, uh, you know, so we waterboarded him with chocolate, chocolate
00:35:46.980 milk.
00:35:47.240 He drank roundup his idea, not mine.
00:35:50.320 Uh, and yet he would never go on any foreign trip with me, which makes me, I don't know if
00:35:55.920 you saw the document or the, uh, the show by Boz Lerman, uh, on, um, Elvis, but it kind
00:36:01.640 of makes me think that you're kind of like Colonel Parker.
00:36:03.800 There's a reason you can't leave the country.
00:36:07.420 Oh, really?
00:36:08.120 Just saying that's your, yeah, that maybe, yeah, maybe you're wanted in other countries
00:36:13.280 and so you can never travel.
00:36:14.740 I'm not sure.
00:36:15.480 Can't confirm or deny that one.
00:36:17.120 Uh, but I do, I do remember when you did the Israel trip, uh, I, you know, while missiles
00:36:24.440 were raining down for, you know, whatever reason it was at that particular moment, uh, I,
00:36:30.220 I did stay home and, and you, you had a, you know, I stand with Glenn Beck t-shirt made
00:36:35.780 up and I made a, I stand for Israel with stew in America, which I thought was a perfect.
00:36:44.320 People stood with me, not there.
00:36:47.320 They just stood here and admired what was happening there.
00:36:51.580 Uh, so yes, that did, that did happen.
00:36:53.920 And you did, you did waterboard me and, uh, you, you know, you've, and I also sent you
00:36:58.480 if I'm not, if I'm not mistaken, I also sent you to the steps of the Philly, uh, Philadelphia
00:37:05.240 art museum where the Rocky statue used to be.
00:37:09.020 And, uh, you lost a bet to me or something.
00:37:12.320 I don't remember what it was, but I mean, I do.
00:37:14.260 I remember Philadelphia.
00:37:15.580 Philadelphia.
00:37:16.020 Yes.
00:37:16.500 Think Philadelphia.
00:37:17.520 He had to go Philadelphia and stand during the whole show at the Rocky statue going Rocky
00:37:24.240 was a loser too.
00:37:26.660 Uh, well, which the context of that was as a Philadelphia Eagles fan, a big fan.
00:37:32.100 Uh, it was their Superbowl that they went to the one that they lost, unfortunately to
00:37:37.480 the, uh, to the new England Patriots.
00:37:39.620 First one I ever went to.
00:37:40.820 And, uh, I needed to like basically say, Hey, I need to take days off that wouldn't
00:37:47.160 normally be, you know, it's January and into February, like kind of an early time to be
00:37:52.620 taking vacations in a new year.
00:37:54.220 And I had to basically beg you to allow me to go to the game.
00:37:59.400 And you, uh, you, uh, eventually agreed with this, uh, a little minor thing that I had to
00:38:07.640 do afterward that, you know, you wouldn't tell me for a while and eventually turned into
00:38:11.140 me risking my life in downtown Philadelphia, uh, after the Eagles lost a game, I had to
00:38:17.080 go up and, and taunt the people of a city that burns down when they win.
00:38:23.860 Uh, so it was not, it was not enjoyable, but I was not, no, it was not the best ideas for
00:38:30.420 your safety.
00:38:30.760 But then again, we're talking to a guy who volunteered to drink Roundup.
00:38:34.600 Uh, so, uh, you know, it's accurate.
00:38:38.300 I, I'm, I am glad you've recounted a lot of these things because now I don't need an opening
00:38:43.660 statement for the litigation, uh, which is, uh, just play this.
00:38:50.520 I just play it straight through and the judge, I think we'll, we'll make the right decision.
00:38:55.700 Uh, but no, it's been, we've had, I, you know, it's amazing.
00:38:59.580 I've posted something on, uh, Twitter and X, uh, just saying, Hey, like, we're going to
00:39:05.740 be on for a few more days.
00:39:06.660 If there's anything you ever wanted to know the backstory of, if you ever wanted to know,
00:39:09.920 uh, you know, anything that, uh, you might remember from the past that you wanted to hear
00:39:14.960 about or anything that particularly embarrasses Glenn in some major way, make sure to let me
00:39:20.000 know.
00:39:20.200 Uh, and you know, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of comments of people, just things
00:39:24.720 that I don't, I, Glenn, I don't even think we could tell the stories cause I don't, half
00:39:28.200 of them, I don't even remember.
00:39:29.180 It's amazing to see how many that, uh, how many things that have happened, how many big
00:39:34.180 things that have happened, all the people we've talked to, all the, you know, the controversies
00:39:37.880 that you've undoubtedly caused all those things.
00:39:41.060 Uh, it's been a long road, a lot, it's going to be hard to, it's going to be hard to go
00:39:45.040 through a week, you know, thinking, you know, the career won't just fall apart because of
00:39:50.740 something that you say or, uh, or that we might just have an angry mob outside the door
00:39:55.680 at any time.
00:39:56.660 I'm not sure how I'll adjust to it, but, uh, it's been a really fun, fun journey.
00:40:01.460 I remember, I mean, things have changed so much.
00:40:04.800 I remember it was 2002, uh, and September, 2002 and Stu and I, and my wife, for some reason,
00:40:14.820 I was flying into someplace, uh, or flying from someplace.
00:40:19.160 And, uh, we met, I don't even remember Hartford or something, um, or Boston.
00:40:25.620 We had a drive to Kenny Bunkport because the, uh, George Bush was going to give us an interview
00:40:31.360 about September 11th, 2001.
00:40:36.520 And, uh, and Stu had a brand new device that he had never used before.
00:40:43.240 I think it was, was it still tape at that time?
00:40:45.980 It was like a digital recorder of some sort, uh, that we had purchased for, this is, gosh,
00:40:51.820 it feels to me that it was a little bit later than that, but it was George, it was, yeah,
00:40:54.940 the kind of Bunkport house that they had.
00:40:57.060 That was the one year.
00:40:57.880 Yeah.
00:40:58.100 It was one year anniversary.
00:40:59.380 Yeah.
00:40:59.620 Yeah.
00:41:00.240 One year anniversary of nine 11.
00:41:01.560 And so we had, we got the okay, very close, like the day before the interview that they
00:41:05.980 were going to go through with it.
00:41:06.940 So we had to go up there.
00:41:09.300 Yeah.
00:41:09.740 I was someplace else.
00:41:10.880 I had to meet Stu someplace.
00:41:12.600 And then we got a rental car and it was the first time either of us had seen GPS and
00:41:20.180 we're driving at two o'clock in the morning up to Kenny Bunkport and it's in the fog and
00:41:25.540 all these roundabouts and everything else.
00:41:27.200 And we only got there because of GPS, but the whole time that Stu was in the car, neither
00:41:33.480 of us slept.
00:41:34.920 Um, and we, we arrived just in time for the interview.
00:41:39.140 We go in and the whole time Stu is in the car.
00:41:41.680 He's like, I, I'm not sure this is going to work.
00:41:44.360 I don't know.
00:41:45.320 I mean, there's no way to check if this is recording, you know, I, I, I hope it works.
00:41:51.320 And he set the whole thing up.
00:41:53.320 I've never seen Stu as white and as pale as this.
00:41:56.600 We, we, we go in, George Bush walks in, we sit down for the interview.
00:42:00.840 We talked to him for about half, you know, half an hour.
00:42:03.440 And Stu is just behind him in my eye shot, just looking at me with sweat, pouring down
00:42:11.140 his face.
00:42:11.720 Like, I don't know.
00:42:12.780 He kept looking at me like, I don't know if any of this is being recorded.
00:42:16.560 Uh, and George Bush left.
00:42:18.920 Right.
00:42:19.520 Yeah.
00:42:19.720 And I had two different recording devices.
00:42:22.140 Like we had a regular and a backup, neither of which I had ever used.
00:42:25.100 I had to take them out of the box that night and try to figure out how to use them because
00:42:28.640 of the short notice, uh, that we were going on.
00:42:31.260 And I, and, you know, I was talking to my son the other day.
00:42:33.360 He's like, who's the most famous, you know, person that you guys have talked to over the
00:42:36.820 years.
00:42:37.040 And, and, you know, it's presidents of the United States, right?
00:42:39.880 Like the various presidents of the United States.
00:42:41.900 Like it's that, that's the easy answer because, you know, that's what we've done.
00:42:46.580 And I remember going there and trying to do this and setting all that stuff up.
00:42:49.980 And we had some time in the hotel where we were supposed to sleep.
00:42:53.540 And I just stayed up all night, just taking it, testing it over and over and over and
00:42:57.540 over again.
00:42:57.700 I remember it all laid out on my bed in the hotel or the, you know, bed and breakfast
00:43:01.280 or whatever it was.
00:43:01.980 It was in Kennebunkport, Maine.
00:43:03.580 And it was all laid out.
00:43:04.980 The wires, I had all the wires set up so I could put it in the bag and just remove it
00:43:08.920 from the bag exactly as is.
00:43:10.140 I didn't have to do any other connections.
00:43:11.800 I had proven that it had worked over and over again.
00:43:14.060 I was so nervous that we were going to do an interview with the president, a former president
00:43:18.320 of the United States.
00:43:19.220 In Elgin.
00:43:19.560 And it'll be gone.
00:43:21.320 And so we finished the interview and I'm like, thank you, Mr. President.
00:43:24.980 It's been, you know, wonderful to hear, you know, the story.
00:43:27.640 Thank you.
00:43:28.080 And we'll air this soon.
00:43:29.160 And he's like, when will it be on the air?
00:43:30.420 And I said, it's probably tomorrow.
00:43:32.220 It'll be on the air.
00:43:34.060 And I kind of meant probably.
00:43:36.120 And he left the room and I looked at Stu and I went, dear God, tell me we have that
00:43:40.060 recorded.
00:43:40.940 And he's just, he has his headphones on and he's listening.
00:43:43.880 He's like, oh, yes, it was recorded.
00:43:47.840 It was the most fly by night thing I think we've, we ever did.
00:43:52.440 And I'm so happy to say we don't have to worry about any of those problems anymore.
00:43:58.740 Because now we just don't care if it's recorded or not.
00:44:01.180 Oh, yeah.
00:44:01.640 Well, now it's been plenty of years.
00:44:03.100 Who cares?
00:44:04.420 But I will say one thing.
00:44:06.640 I don't know if you remember as a detail of this, Glenn.
00:44:09.100 You know, as I mentioned, there was two, I had two different systems recording it at
00:44:13.240 the same time.
00:44:14.260 One of them did fail.
00:44:16.340 We actually didn't get it on one of the two.
00:44:19.420 And so, and I think that was the first one I listened to.
00:44:21.860 First one you checked.
00:44:22.600 I checked and it was, there was just nothing.
00:44:25.020 It was just, I had worked 50 times in a row at the hotel and then it didn't work when
00:44:29.300 we recorded the actual interview.
00:44:30.720 Luckily, the second one picked it up.
00:44:32.100 So I didn't get fired.
00:44:33.500 And my exit was, you know, 20 something years ago instead of on Friday, which might have
00:44:38.620 been better for you if you think about it.
00:44:40.420 Let me tell you, no, it wouldn't have been.
00:44:44.620 Investing is all about the future.
00:44:46.620 So what do you think is going to happen?
00:44:48.620 Bitcoin is sort of inevitable at this point.
00:44:51.120 I think it would come down to precious metals.
00:44:53.720 I hope we don't go cashless.
00:44:55.820 I would say land is a safe investment.
00:44:58.440 Technology, companies.
00:44:59.540 Solar energy.
00:45:00.620 Robotic pollinators might be a thing.
00:45:02.920 A wrestler to face a robot.
00:45:04.860 That will have to happen.
00:45:06.460 So whatever you think is going to happen in the future.
