00:00:14.800 On today's podcast, what do the leaked Epstein emails actually say? Do they actually prove Trump

00:00:22.280 was the bad guy or the whistleblower against him? Also, you've seen Scott Jennings, I'm sure,

00:00:28.400 on CNN. You'll know who he is. The guy who makes sense. Yeah, that guy joins me. He's got a new book

00:00:35.560 out about the changes and what has happened, the shockwaves that have happened because of Donald

00:00:43.900 Trump in this first year. Also, the end of the progressive era and the beginning of the socialist

00:00:52.060 era. How is that working? How can you really understand what's happening in politics today?

00:01:00.900 Well, you can understand it if you know that we have changed eras. And I explain that all in today's

00:01:06.780 podcast. Let me tell you about the burner launcher. Everybody has that one moment where they think,

00:01:12.020 what would I do if something actually happened? You know, actually in a life or death situation,

00:01:16.120 you hear a noise outside of the dog starts barking. Suddenly you're standing, you know,

00:01:19.660 in the dark holding, I don't know, a TV remote. That's a relatable feeling to me. And that's why

00:01:26.060 I kind of like the burner launcher. You know, burner is a non-lethal self-defense tool that can

00:01:30.300 stop an attacker without taking a life. It's legal in all 50 states. No permit required. Small enough

00:01:35.020 to keep anywhere at home, in your car, even in your bag when you travel. I have to tell you,

00:01:40.020 I wish I would have had this. The scariest thing that ever happened to me was I heard my wife heard

00:01:47.060 something and everybody's asleep in the house. Glenn, did you hear that? No, I didn't hear

00:01:51.160 anything. Go back to sleep. No, I'm telling you there's somebody in the house. Get your gun. So

00:01:56.100 I got my gun walking out and I get to the front living room and I'm like, I have a gun and I will 0.95

00:02:04.020 shoot. If there is somebody in the house, identify yourself or I will shoot. Nothing. Heard the noise 1.00

00:02:11.400 is around the corner. And I, I had my gun aimed right around the corner, right at the corner.

00:02:17.060 And I said, I'm coming, I'm turning the corner and I have a gun. If you don't identify yourself,

00:02:22.120 I, I, I fear for my life and my family's life and I will shoot you. And that's when my son said, 1.00

00:02:30.600 dad, it's me. And he was like 12. And I mean, had I not been that clear with him and he knew that I

00:02:40.340 would shoot. He may not have, I could have shot my own son. Burna. It'll stop that from happening.

00:03:19.920 comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more

00:03:25.520 Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement and you're part of it,

00:03:31.160 a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up,

00:03:34.700 help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share. Together, we'll make a difference.

00:03:40.460 And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work.

00:03:51.100 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:55.800 So to restate your question again, so I fully understand it and I can answer it clearly here.

00:04:02.020 Well, I think thinking about taking out the fact of who we would want to win in this

00:04:08.940 sort of eternal battle for a moment, just speaking strategically as to how you would approach it if

00:04:14.700 you were a Democrat. I initially kind of proposed the question as to how you might deal with the

00:04:19.880 Trump administration. Would you maybe look for the gains that you can get while he's in power that

00:04:24.840 may be common ground? He's talking about getting rid of the filibuster, for example.

00:04:28.420 You know, every day that I was alive up until a certain gentleman came down a very nice escalator,

00:04:36.520 Democrats loved tariffs and were arguing for them constantly. And like, if you have an ally with

00:04:41.160 that on that one issue in the White House, why wouldn't you sit here and try to go as far as you

00:04:47.200 could down that road and help him along on that instead of just making him into an enemy and calling

00:04:52.680 him Hitler all the time? And that led to us talking about, well, you mentioned that, you know, 0.90

00:04:57.920 because the strategy has changed. It's no longer a progressive strategy where you're trying to move

00:05:01.900 policy a specific direction. It's about a revolution and, you know, changing this into a socialist

00:05:08.880 place where you now need, you now want the chaos on the streets. You now want people to be at odds

00:05:17.600 like that. And so we led that to, you know, did the Democrats, are they moving too fast in this

00:05:23.440 strategy? If they want to eventually admit, take the masks off and say they are socialists,

00:05:28.240 we're all socialists now. We're getting that with Mom Donnie and AOC and Bernie Sanders and the like.

00:05:34.800 To me, part of the reason they lost in 2024 is they went really far, really fast with things like

00:05:41.860 gender and the like, things that people kind of just like crinkled their brow and said, whoa,

00:05:47.980 whoa, whoa, whoa, I don't want that. So did they move too fast? And is this the right strategy for

00:05:52.500 them? Okay, so let me start with that. That, I believe, is a strategy of chaos. And so it was

00:06:03.880 accepted because it is just this deconstruction kind of idea that has been preached now from the

00:06:14.140 universities and the intellectuals and the, you know, the Democrats, many of them buy this, 0.96

00:06:19.780 you know, this garbage from the universities. But it was all started really by socialist revolutionaries, 0.92

00:06:25.760 okay, as a product of chaos. Would you agree with me that there are at least two different kinds

00:06:32.440 of Democrats? Democrats that, you know, might vote for Schumer and don't think that they, you know,

00:06:38.460 they don't believe that there's, you know, this great change coming in there. They want the same

00:06:44.760 kind of America, the, you know, that we want. There's that Democrat. And then there's the

00:06:49.720 socialist, the revolutionary Democrat. Yeah, probably not the same America we want,

00:06:54.540 but one that's reminiscent of what we remember about a country. Right. Yeah. Correct. Correct. Correct.

00:06:59.540 Okay. So that has been since early 1900s, that's been the progressive way. Forget Democrats. It's a

00:07:09.420 progressive. Democrats became progressive in the early 20th century. And when they became progressives,

00:07:18.240 they did it because the Democrats did not want a revolution. They believed in socialism. They

00:07:24.840 believed in communism. Remember, this is before communism had been tried and failed over and over and

00:07:29.440 over again. So, but they believed in that and they really thought it was the right thing to do and

00:07:34.940 that science was going to be able to control society and everything else. Uh, and so it would

00:07:40.020 have all the answers and we have to go that because this is, this is the scientific way. Okay. And it's

00:07:46.640 also the right way to do it. You know, spiritually, it's the right way. They were making this case.

00:07:51.740 Those were progressives. Socialists were like, yeah, it is the right way. So let's do it now.

00:07:57.380 Progressive said, no, we'll get to your socialist utopia, but we'll do it one step at a time.

00:08:07.060 You think you can relate to this because how many times do we have to be Charlie Brown

00:08:13.820 and our, and our own side is Lucy with the football? Oh, okay. That's exactly what I was

00:08:20.620 thinking about as you were laying that out. Correct. And what was the response from our side?

00:08:29.320 Our side always said, look, we just need to win that next election. And if we win that next election,

00:08:33.260 we'll move the ball down. Don't worry. I'll hold the ball right here so you can kick it. We just have

00:08:36.860 to win that next election first. Uh-huh. And when that was over, what did we do? We hired

00:08:44.620 the world's largest wrecking ball, Donald Trump. Okay. We're like, we're done with that. We don't

00:08:52.600 believe you anymore. We're done with that. Correct. Now imagine that you've been playing this game

00:08:58.860 since the early 20th century and you are a diehard socialist and you've been moving the ball

00:09:06.380 incrementally. But there's been times where during the great depression, during the 1960s, you could like,

00:09:12.580 we could take it now. We could take it now. Okay. During Jimmy Carter, we can take it now,

00:09:17.780 but it's always just moving a little bit closer. Then finally in 2008, it's your shot. You have a guy

00:09:25.860 who you know is a Marxist. Okay. He was steeped in all of this stuff and the Democrats are going to run

00:09:34.020 this guy. And you're like, yeah, they're running him and he's a Marxist. They, I don't know if they

00:09:41.020 believe in that, but this guy's going to get it done. This guy believes this stuff. They get all

00:09:46.200 excited. And what happens? He makes big changes, but it's progressive change. And he becomes a guy

00:09:53.700 that they no longer trust. Wait a minute. You were just part of the system. You got rich. You did all

00:09:59.360 the things that you said you were against when you were a young Marxist. Hey, look at you. Then what

00:10:05.320 do the Democrats do? The next person they run is Hillary Clinton. She's not a, she's not a communist. 1.00

00:10:12.940 She doesn't want revolution. She wants authoritarianism. She wants globalism. There's a 1.00

00:10:18.640 very big difference between those two. Okay. Then after that one, you get Joe Biden. And what does he do?

00:10:29.460 He engages or allows all the chaos to happen. Okay. So it works to their advantage. He,

00:10:37.600 the socialists want all of this chaos. They want all of this control, but so do the Democrats,

00:10:43.820 the new kind of Democrat. They want control. They just want global control. They, they want,

00:10:50.220 they're much more fascistic. And I say that literally fascistic because Joe Biden talked about it all the

00:10:56.960 time. These public private partnerships, what does socialists want? They want to control schools,

00:11:02.840 socialist communists. They want to control schools, but so do the authoritarians. They want to control

00:11:07.440 schools. They want a, uh, a communist system where all the means of production are owned by the people

00:11:15.900 through the state. Um, but the authoritarians on the left, they want, they will never call it this,

00:11:23.440 but a fascistic system. Okay. It's, it's, it's a globalist system where all of these giant

00:11:30.220 corporations work with the government and do what the government says. And they'll allow you to be

00:11:36.340 successful as long as you do exactly what the government says to do. The communists, they don't

00:11:42.680 want the constitution and the bill of rights. Socialists don't want that. They want a bill of

00:11:48.320 responsibilities. What the government must do. Our bill of rights is what the government cannot ever

00:11:55.100 do. That's an impediment to socialism. You got to discredit and get rid of that. The,

00:12:02.600 the Democrats don't want to lose that. They just want to weaken it. They just want to confuse it,

00:12:08.320 but they don't want to get rid of it because they still need the illusion of America.

00:12:13.680 America. And they're, and they're for some of the stuff because it's been transformed by them

00:12:19.360 over a hundred, you know, a hundred years. They want the fed. Do you think the socialists want the

00:12:24.720 fed? No, they don't want the, the socialists don't want the W E F. They don't want just a

00:12:31.500 restructured, uh, social order. They want a completely restructured. So social order, the Democrats,

00:12:40.260 the authoritarians, they want friends in the media. They want friends at tech. Do you think

00:12:46.020 the socialists want friends in the media? They'll drag those people out in the streets and beat them 0.63

00:12:50.160 to death so fast. And they'll do the same with all the people in tech. Okay. That's what will happen. 0.97

00:12:57.640 That's the different, you have revolutionaries and then you have politicians. Now you get,

00:13:03.300 you get Barack Obama in, and then you get Joe Biden in and they see, they see what's happening

00:13:08.960 with Joe Biden. He is building a global government. That's what's happened. He's in bed with the W E F. 0.96

00:13:15.320 That's a global government. That's even, that's even worse than what we have right now. Well,

00:13:21.640 we can take advantage of the instability when the Democrats blow it. I really believe the,

00:13:30.140 the socialists have said enough is enough. You know, guys, we just need one more election and then

00:13:35.560 you'll get what you want. Enough is enough. You're never going to give us this socialist utopia.

00:13:40.500 You're not for those things. And we have danced with you at this party forever. And you know what?

00:13:47.260 You didn't notice how strong we were getting. Now you brought us to the dance, but is it still that

00:13:55.020 way? Now we're in charge of the dance and we're shaking you. Get out. That's what's happening.

00:14:02.860 And it's because they're so sick and tired. So there's no, the actual socialists don't have the

00:14:10.500 same strategy as the Democrat, the, uh, the Democrats do because they don't have the same

00:14:16.260 end goals. And I think that's what makes the socialists so dangerous. That's why we're seeing

00:14:21.320 the uptick in violence because Democrats, and it's hard to say this because so many Democrats I think are

00:14:29.660 really confused because I think they've just been herded into the PSYOP operation is PSYOPs have

00:14:36.640 happened to them over and over again. And so they're just convinced that everybody else is Hitler

00:14:41.160 and they don't see what's happening in their own party. They think that the socialist is the Democrat.

00:14:47.060 It's not. And socialists do believe ends justify the means. Socialists do believe kill them.

00:14:55.460 And if they get in your way, kill them. That's why you're seeing the uptick of that is because it's 0.99

00:15:00.540 the socialists now that are in control of the party, almost completely in control. They're not

00:15:07.560 completely in control because you still have the Chuck Schumers hanging around, but the Chuck Schumers

00:15:13.640 of the world, they're afraid. They know they're no longer the lead at the dance. They know

00:15:20.860 they're about to be eaten if they don't just do what they what they're told to do. Just

00:15:26.340 you are going to stand against this. You're going to shut down the government because that works to

00:15:31.340 the advantage of the socialists, not the Democrats to the socialists. The socialists need the economic

00:15:38.000 chaos. They need the poverty. They need all of those things so they can dramatically change. You can only

00:15:45.600 weaken a government so much. You can only weaken an economy so much before it's not in your advantage

00:15:51.480 anymore because you won't be able to fix it. Look how fast Donald Trump fixed in 2016 what Obama had

00:15:58.660 done. There was so much damage done to the economy in 20 by 2020 to 2024. You look how long it's taking

00:16:07.180 him to fix things. It's not easy anymore. Democrats know that we can't completely destroy everything

00:16:15.200 unless you have the framework and you're going to drop it into a new world order.

00:16:21.640 It's just the time now to fight for them. Are we a globalist new world order that loves all these

00:16:28.780 corporations or are we a socialist new world order that does not get into bed with all of these

00:16:36.340 corporations and everything? That's that's the real rift here. That's what's actually we're watching

00:16:43.380 this play out and nobody seems to be talking about it. But that's the real game that is being played

00:16:49.500 out. You ever Google, you know, a simple pain like why does my back hurt when I get out of bed?

00:16:57.220 You know, you get three clicks in and you're reading about, you know, some rare spinal condition only

00:17:02.160 discovered in mountain goats. But you're convinced now I've got it. I've got this mountain goat back

00:17:06.520 thing going on. OK, call your doctor, call your vet. I don't know. Here's the truth. Most of the time,

00:17:12.500 it's not some exotic condition. It's inflammation, the normal kind, the kind that builds up in your

00:17:17.520 joints and your muscles until everything starts to hurt for no reason at all. OK, what relief

00:17:23.180 factor does, it's a daily supplement, all natural, and it helps reduce that inflammation and fight the

00:17:28.400 root causes of pain naturally without drugs or strange side effects. So many people, including

00:17:33.740 myself, listeners to the audience, have tried it. Two out of the three go on to order more month after

00:17:39.240 month. So before you spend another night diagnosing yourself with goat spine syndrome,

00:17:44.760 try something that actually works. OK, relief factor, because you don't need a rare condition.

00:17:50.420 You just need relief. Get their three week quick start and give it a try today. 1995. Go to

00:18:01.620 Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. And don't forget,

00:18:06.240 rate us on iTunes. Scott Jennings, welcome to the program. How are you?

00:18:14.340 I'm great. It's an honor to be with you. I've been a longtime fan and an admirer of yours. And

00:18:18.840 to be with you today is very special for me. So thanks for the invitation.

00:18:22.260 Oh, my gosh. Well, you are more than welcome. I have to tell you, you know, I just was about to

00:18:27.780 say I don't know what your life is like, but I know exactly what your life is like as I as I

00:18:33.480 worked there. And it was a lonely, lonely place. But you are doing an amazing job, really an amazing

00:18:40.380 job. Well, thank you for saying that. And I have to say, you know, I credit CNN for creating this

00:18:48.420 10 o'clock debating show where I most often appear and giving a conservative a chance to fight it out.

00:18:54.260 And I think PV is kind of boring when it's just six people sitting around congratulating themselves

00:18:59.380 on increasing levels of smugness. I think I think a little debate and a little common sense injected

00:19:04.460 into some of the conversations and a little reframing of some of these debates is exactly

00:19:08.860 what they need. And I think there's a hunger for that kind of content out there. So I'm glad they're

00:19:12.960 doing it. And it's a privilege to have the seat right now. So the days you walk away going, I just

00:19:19.320 can't do it. I mean, there has to be. Well, I occasionally meet people who say crazy things. I was on

00:19:24.980 not too long ago with a guy who was a real life ear truther. He did not believe Donald Trump had

00:19:30.820 been shot in Butler, Pennsylvania. And he said to me live on the air, well, I wasn't there. How am I

00:19:35.480 supposed to know? And I thought this is who I'm dealing with. And I think I debate people who,

00:19:42.420 if not but for being contractually obligated to do so, wouldn't know or interact with a single other

00:19:46.760 Republican. I'm the only one they know. And so I think I think if you're interested in popping

00:19:51.820 ideological bubbles like I am, and like I know you are, it's a good thing to do. It does make me

00:19:57.220 shake my head. But I do think the I do think there's value in us. I mean, I believe in our

00:20:01.940 ideas. And I think if our ideas get out to more people, more people will gravitate to our cause.

00:20:06.520 I agree. All right. So let's talk a little bit about the book Revolution of Common Sense.

00:20:11.160 You say that your dad was the first one that said Donald Trump's going to win. And this is early on.

00:20:18.400 You laughed it off, says he's not going to win. Is that true? I did. That's absolutely true. My

00:20:23.280 father was the biggest Clinton Democrat I knew. I come from a family of Democrats. He was a

00:20:27.720 factory worker and a garbage man. And even though I was a Republican political operative, 0.98

00:20:32.720 my dad was a Democrat for a long time. But in 2014, 2015, my dad was telling me it's going to be

00:20:37.860 Trump. And I, like everybody else who'd been trained in the old ways, was like, you know, come on,

00:20:43.820 dad. And he turned out to be right. But he was sort of the leading indicator for me about what

00:20:48.640 was going to happen in middle America. All these working class Americans who live in hollowed out 1.00

00:20:52.920 communities that feel like the political elites had left them behind. That was my dad. And he was

00:20:58.800 speaking to my dad. But as you know, he was speaking to millions of people. And he defeated the

00:21:04.380 Republican establishment. Then he defeated the Democratic establishment. And it was because

00:21:07.960 of people like my dad who recognized in him, we're trying to hire somebody to smash these guys who

00:21:14.400 forgotten about us and crushed us. And my dad knew it. My dad knew it. And it's not the only time in

00:21:19.220 my life where my dad was right. And I was wrong. I can tell you that. Yeah. The you spent a lot of

00:21:25.220 time with Donald Trump when you're writing this book. Did you know him beforehand? I did not. I met

00:21:30.500 him really for the first time in February when I pitched him on the book and got to observe him in

00:21:35.420 action in the Oval Office. I flew with him. Yeah. It's funny. He kind of dominated, you know,

00:21:40.460 every conversation I've had in my professional life for the last 10 years. But I didn't really

00:21:44.660 know him. But I did spend some time with him in the White House. I flew to Michigan with him on his

00:21:49.480 100th day in office. And he gave a speech in Michigan that day. And he said something true to

00:21:54.880 his inaugural address. He said, whether you're on the left or whether you're on the right, whether you're in

00:21:58.780 the middle, it's just common sense. And I think the rebranding of the party as the common sense party

00:22:05.940 has allowed so many more people in. I think it's one of the most genius political marketing moves in

00:22:12.180 American history. It's amazing because he's not he's not saying he's not necessarily making a case

00:22:20.860 for being conservative or anything else. It's just he is fighting for the things that we all used to

00:22:26.820 think. We're like, yeah, well, that makes that makes sense. I mean, no, that's a dude. He can't shower

00:22:32.020 with my daughter. You know, it's it's that kind of stuff that should be really uniting. Why is he why do

00:22:40.100 they hate him so much? Because I think they believe the left believed that they had control of all the

00:22:48.140 institutions, universities, media. They were even taking control of corporate America. And you look around at

00:22:55.100 all the institutional strength in our country. The left had been on a long project to co-opt,

00:23:01.100 infiltrate and take these things over. And Donald Trump and of course, while doing that, they make

00:23:06.460 you believe things. You have to accept that, you know, you can wake up and change your gender one 1.00

00:23:11.740 day. You have to accept, you know, the DEI nonsense. You have to accept our radical ideology or we'll

00:23:18.220 ostracize you from this institution or we'll crush you. Trump shows up and says, I'm just not going to put

00:23:23.200 up with it. And there were millions of Americans who were dying for someone to try to restore sanity

00:23:29.540 to these, I think, conversations that you rightly say. It just used to be common sense. He said what

00:23:35.360 everyone else was thinking, but everybody had been basically made too afraid to say because of

00:23:40.740 punishment, cultural punishment. Trump was their champion and he still is today. And that's why he

00:23:46.040 has a base that's never going to leave him because he knows they know that he is going to never,

00:23:51.340 ever back down to this mob that's trying to turn everything upside down and tell you right is

00:23:56.180 wrong and left is right and red is blue and up is down. That's, that's what they want. And he will

00:24:00.600 not allow it. And whoever we nominate next cannot allow it either because they will come right back.

00:24:07.440 What, what, what do you think his strongest ability is? And the one that maybe is something you're

00:24:16.120 seeing coming on the horizon. You're like, ah, he's got to be paying attention to this. He's got to fix

00:24:20.140 this. Well, I think this artificial intelligence conversation, he has a really strong handle on.

00:24:27.900 I think he knows we cannot allow the Chinese to control this conversation. I think he knows what 1.00

00:24:33.140 we have to do on the energy front to win this conversation. And so I think his vision on that,

00:24:37.340 when we think about legacy, um, this may be some of the most consequential policymaking

00:24:42.880 that he does. I also, frankly, just think his ability. I told him, I told him that I thought

00:24:48.040 he was going to be remembered as the AI president. And he said, no, I'm not going to be, that's not,

00:24:53.060 that's not my thing. Well, I asked him a couple of, a couple of, maybe a month ago, you know,

00:24:58.060 uh, do you consider the AI race to be your space race? You know, is this, is this that big? Is it

00:25:03.860 your cold war? And he said, it's all that wrapped up in more. And so I, I don't know,

00:25:08.260 I get the feeling he is, he is increasingly understanding that the decisions he makes

00:25:13.880 today, the course that we set today will determine. So in 10 years and 15 years, when we control this

00:25:20.300 and when it, you know, it's the free world that's, uh, on top of the AI situation and not the

00:25:25.660 communist Chinese, it'll be because of Donald Trump. And so I think he's setting all that in

00:25:30.020 motion today. I also think what he's doing in the middle East and standing up to the barbarians.

00:25:34.940 I mean, the, it is amazing to me, the propaganda campaign that went on after October the 7th and

00:25:41.380 how the West, Western governments and Western media sided with the barbarians. I mean, if you go 0.92

00:25:46.220 there and listen to what happened and it's been total propaganda, but Trump had total moral clarity

00:25:51.720 on this. He's standing up to the people who would leave this world in darkness, ideologies that are

00:25:57.700 the enemy of human liberty. And he knows it. And he's been totally clear on this. And so I think too,

00:26:03.460 you know, occasionally someone has to stand up and say, no, enough is enough. And he did that. And he

00:26:08.940 did it strategically at the right time. I think it's going to pay dividends for years to come.

00:26:14.160 What do you, spending the time with him, what did you feel was something that maybe surprised you

00:26:20.080 and something that you think, gosh, if America just understood this one thing, it might change

00:26:27.220 things. Well, the caricature of him would lead you to believe that he is not a good listener or that

00:26:33.200 he is not someone who absorbs a lot of information that informs his opinion. I came away with a totally

00:26:39.180 opposite review. I watched him listen to people having debates. He asks questions. He kind of lobs

00:26:46.460 in his views, but he really does absorb. I think these debates among this excellent cabinet and this

00:26:52.800 excellent staff that he has. And then he makes a decision. What's great about this president versus

00:26:57.620 the last one is he's decisive. You know, once he listens and takes in everything, he makes a

00:27:04.020 decision and that's what they do. Biden was famously indecisive, which leads to weakness, which of course

00:27:08.400 leads to the disaster of that administration. But Trump doesn't suffer from this. That's number one.

00:27:13.280 Number two, this man is genuinely funny. He is warm. He is hospitable. You know, talking about my dad,

00:27:20.260 when we were together once, he had his hat on, his famous red hat, and he said, do you want my hat?

00:27:25.880 And I said, no, but I know someone who does. It was the first man to ever tell me you were going

00:27:29.780 to be president. And he said, sounds like a smart guy. And he took the hat right off his head.

00:27:36.000 And so he's actually a warm, nice, funny person. And of course, the caricature of him painted by the

00:27:42.400 media is that you wouldn't believe that. And I lived through this when I worked for President Bush.

00:27:46.240 They caricatured him as adult. Totally not true. They caricatured Dick Cheney. They caricatured

00:27:52.340 Mitt Romney. They take our Republicans and they turn them into something they're not.

00:27:57.780 And of course, that's the power of the left when they control cultural institutions. So

00:28:01.800 I think they've done it to Trump to some degree. But of course,

00:28:04.620 his personality tends to cut through the clutter sometimes.

00:28:08.980 You'll be surprised. Next time you see him, could be a year from now,

00:28:12.160 and he's going to ask you how your dad was. I know. I watched him interact with people in that

00:28:18.560 way. It is an innate political talent. And the good ones have it. And he does care about people.

00:28:25.180 I watched him do it. And he's loyal to people, too.

00:28:29.820 What do you think the thing that is happening now that should be being paid attention to,

00:28:37.340 that maybe the media is missing? What's the thing that's most overblown and most underplayed?

00:28:45.480 Oh, gosh. Well, I think the thing we ought to be paying attention to on the left

00:28:48.960 is the energy and the radicalism on the left. You know, the elections the other day,

00:28:55.100 I said on CNN that night, I thought this was the beginning of the end of Chuck Schumer. But

00:28:59.160 it's really the beginning of the end of any semblance of any shred of the possibility of

00:29:05.400 returning to sanity in the Democratic Party. I mean, look how they treat John Fetterman for

00:29:10.120 simply occasionally saying something that's basic common sense or having a backbone. The energy in

00:29:16.580 the socialist, radical socialist movement on the left is real. It happened in New York. It happened

00:29:22.980 in Seattle. They elected a mayor out there who lives in her parents' basement, but got elected on

00:29:27.600 the power of a socialist agenda. AOC is the leader of this faction. Bernie Sanders is the intellectual

00:29:34.060 godfather of it. And these people will change America. They think the American experiment was

00:29:39.620 rotten at its core. They think it ought to be ripped out root and branch and replaced with something

00:29:43.660 that neither you nor I would recognize as American. They fundamentally hate the system that we have

00:29:51.460 lived with for 250 years in this country. And I don't think we can understate how much energy they

00:29:57.380 have on the left right now, how much momentum they're feeling. And so I know we talk about it

00:30:03.040 and we've talked about the rise of socialism before, but the urgency of it right now, as we head away

00:30:08.860 from the Trump era and we get into an open presidential election in 28, we cannot allow our country to be

00:30:14.320 taken over. So that's number one. Number two, on what's being overblown, I think the Democrats trying

00:30:22.280 to pin the affordability tail on Donald Trump is the most laughable thing I've ever heard.

00:30:27.140 They took prices to the moon. Gas was $5, grocery prices, healthcare craziness. They took prices to

00:30:34.660 the moon and they want to pin this on Donald Trump or pin this on Republicans. Give me a break. And so

00:30:39.560 the media buying into this is totally overblown, but we have to fight back hard or we're going to have

00:30:45.020 a rough ride in 26. You're streaming the best of Glenn Beck. To hear more of this interview and

00:30:50.020 others, download the full show podcasts wherever you get podcasts. Hello, Stu. How are you? Good,

00:30:57.240 Glenn. How are you? Good. Besides football, anything exciting happening in your life this weekend?

00:31:02.500 Are you talking, when you say football, you're talking about the Eagles victory over the Detroit

00:31:05.980 Lions last night? Is that what you're talking about? I specifically said anything other than that.

00:31:10.760 I was just trying to clarify. I was just trying to clarify. No, I know. Sure you are. Yeah. Yeah.

00:31:16.720 Sure you are. Um, yeah. Anything, do you do anything, anything exciting? I had a whirlwind weekend.

00:31:24.020 Uh, I, I had a weekend. I got to go to the hospital, uh, which was fun. I always love spending

00:31:30.060 time. My son got a little injured and, uh, and, uh, okay. Is everything okay? He's okay. He was climbing

00:31:37.720 a fence and, uh, fell and, um, uh, punk, I punctured his leg, which apparently is just a giant bag of

00:31:45.680 blood. Uh, I, I mean, I, I, these things happen. He's 14 years old. There are muscles and stuff in

00:31:53.040 the leg. I don't think not. I don't think you're like, his is just all blood because I pulled up to

00:31:58.620 this place where it happened and he had been sitting on this, uh, you know, like a pillar,

00:32:04.040 like he, it was on, he was sitting up there and I, you know, until the, uh, the, uh, ambulance

00:32:09.260 came. Um, but, uh, it, I, I didn't think it was that big of a deal and I, I pulled up and

00:32:14.260 it looked like there was a human sacrifice on the top of this pillar. The entire side,

00:32:19.340 it looked like it was out of a horror movie. Uh, it was just blood. I, I was this, it was

00:32:24.960 a terrifying moment, but he's totally fine. Have you ever had, have you, any of your kids

00:32:29.080 ever had a head wounded at any of any kind? Like they, they, they get, if they have to

00:32:35.480 have like five stitches in their head, it's like all of the blood in their body has just

00:32:40.280 been gushing, gushing. The head bleeds a lot. Yeah. I, I, you know, I hate to start a week

00:32:46.060 this way, but yeah, my, he, when he was a little kid, he, he had like stitches right near

00:32:50.720 his eye and it was, it was, it was just absolutely horrific and I, it scars, you know, more than

00:32:57.220 scars them. It does. It does. And you know, you get used to it. You have, you have a few

00:33:02.560 kids, the first kid that happens to, and you're like bag of blood. No, he was hemorrhaging

00:33:07.320 to death. I'm telling you, you got to get here right now. After you, after like two or

00:33:11.280 three kids, you're like, yeah, he's fine. Give him a bandaid. What are you complaining

00:33:15.360 about? Have some water, maybe some orange juice. Yeah. He's still bleeding. Sure. But

00:33:20.400 don't worry about it. It'll eventually clog up. It's fine. Yeah. Uh, that was my weekend.

00:33:25.900 You had a big one though. You had a much happier weekend. It seemed like I saw you with your

00:33:30.260 daughter. Yeah, that was yesterday was with my daughter, uh, for the premiere of her movie

00:33:36.240 that she is in her first movie. And it was, it's really exciting. It was really cool to

00:33:40.360 be at a premiere and watch it, you know, in a theater. Um, but, uh, also Friday I spent

00:33:45.460 time with about 500 state legislators from all over the country and learned an awful lot

00:33:52.440 and, um, and saw what they are going through and, uh, and their thought processes. And we

00:33:59.360 have time. I'll talk about that. Um, also, Oh, Saturday, Saturday, I spent a few hours with

00:34:07.580 the CEO of Cracker Barrel. Now that was interesting. I bet that was interesting. You had a conversation.

00:34:14.880 Uh, yeah, yeah. Uh, I had a great conversation. It's going to air, uh, well, it's in two parts.

00:34:22.380 Uh, I talked to the, they, they have like a historian at Cracker Barrel that is in charge

00:34:28.740 of everything around the walls of Cracker Barrel. And so I went into their gigantic warehouse

00:34:35.520 of American history and it was, I mean, it was candy land for me. Um, uh, but, uh, it wasn't

00:34:41.700 really candy land for the C for the CEO. Uh, and you'll, you'll see. Um, yes, I did make

00:34:49.040 her cry. Oh, good. Well, of course, of course you did. But it was, uh, it was, it was after

00:34:55.440 the question, I mean, are you surprised at all that you, you haven't been fired? Um, it was,

00:35:04.640 it was a very frank conversation and she was very frank as well. I thought she was, I thought she

00:35:10.040 was really good, um, on her answers and what, what happened. Uh, you're going to have to decide

00:35:17.220 for yourself on whether, whether or not it was good enough. I mean, I pushed her, I pushed her.

00:35:23.600 It'll be up to you to decide how you feel about it. But you know, everybody else at Cracker Barrel,

00:35:29.140 they're all, they're all, I mean, salt of the earth people, you know, and it's just like,

00:35:34.640 uh, you feel bad because they are just really struggling because of this really struggling.

00:35:41.560 And, and, and if she said, I'm really, really sorry. Once she said it a million times, I'm

00:35:48.760 really, really sorry. I take all responsibility for this. I'm really, really sorry. Uh, but

00:35:56.860 you'll see that, uh, this week on the Glenn Beck podcast, I think. Um, all right now Jeffrey

00:36:05.060 Epstein's back in the news today. Could we just for the love of Pete release everything

00:36:13.200 that we have so we can move on from the Jeffrey Epstein thing? Here's the answer. No,

00:36:20.860 even if we release everything that we still have, this is going to go on for the rest of

00:36:29.020 our lives. It will always, and probably into our children's lives. Do you know Jeffrey Epstein

00:36:35.700 and Donald Trump were the reason we never went to the moon? It's going to happen. It's just

00:36:43.020 one of these conspiracy theories that will never, ever go away. Why? Because no one was honest

00:36:48.880 about it in the first place. Once you start to lie, you lie once, once. If you're a very

00:36:57.400 honest person, you will lie once. And then people were like, what, what, why would you

00:37:02.300 lie about that? What, what is going on? He's not like that. But if you're the United States

00:37:07.220 government, you already have no credibility whatsoever. Stop lying to the American people.

00:37:16.200 Just stop it. You know, I said something a minute ago. One of the reasons why you're hearing

00:37:20.720 lies is because it works to the advantage of a color revolution. You know, there, there

00:37:27.760 are reasons why people are lying to you. Some of them, they're just dirt bags and they're 0.97

00:37:33.480 liars. Some of it is just they're politicians. And so they're liars. Some of it, however, a 1.00

00:37:39.160 good deal of it is we lie because we know it causes damage to the credibility of this

00:37:46.180 entire system. We know it does damage to the culture of America. And we are here trying

00:37:53.440 to destroy the culture of America because we want to try something new. And the only, you

00:37:59.060 won't vote for it. So the only way we can get America to change and do something entirely

00:38:04.340 different that they will never vote for is just to cause chaos and disbelief in everything.

00:38:13.060 So, as I said a minute ago, you know, it's not the news. Many times it's a reflection of

00:38:19.040 a plan. And when it comes to the Epstein thing, this is absolutely a plan. The way this thing

00:38:28.040 has been played out, Democrats are completely against bringing anything out about Epstein.

00:38:32.940 They don't want to do anything about it. The media, do you remember the ABC anchor that

00:38:39.060 went into a commercial break? And she was like, you know what? I got to tell you, Epstein, you

00:38:44.200 know, we had the goods on him, dead to rights, Clinton, all of it. And we were told, pull it.

00:38:49.880 Do you remember that? Remember that gang? They pulled it at ABC. They, I think they fired

00:38:56.680 the person who tried to, who released that video or tried to fire the person. I think

00:39:02.880 they either were working then over at CBS or whatever, but that person was in trouble for

00:39:08.580 releasing that behind the scenes tape. They had no intention of it. Now everybody wants

00:39:14.480 the Epstein tapes. Wait a minute. You didn't want them when Biden was in and you could have

00:39:19.900 said something Democrats and you could have released it all. And you know, it's funny is

00:39:25.300 it is just so full of stuff about Donald Trump. Then why wouldn't they release just that?

00:39:34.500 Why wouldn't have the Democrats released anything in the Epstein file? You're telling me they're

00:39:40.500 like, we got to find something on him. Hey, I've got the Epstein file. Yeah. Yeah. We got

00:39:45.000 to find something on him. Hey, I've got some information here about Epstein, him and Epstein.

00:39:50.080 They were fooling around. Yeah. Shut up for a second. Is there anything at all that we can

00:39:55.440 construe and manufacture about his banks? I know he's got a secret signal between his bank

00:40:05.480 and the Russian bank. I've got stuff about the Epstein. Come on. If they had stuff about

00:40:11.760 the Epstein, they would have gone to the stuff about the Epstein files. They don't have anything.

00:40:18.920 They don't have anything. Now, let me speak directly to conservatives. They're not going

00:40:26.860 to release anything about the Democrats because they had the Epstein files. Do you think that

00:40:34.200 it let's just say I'm not even name names. Let's just say the most powerful people on the

00:40:41.460 earth, the most powerful people with powerful connections to government, they knew their names

00:40:49.420 were there on little guest books at the island or whatever. You don't think they called in some

00:40:57.220 favors and said, hey, I need that. Can you remove that? You don't think that there were people that

00:41:04.500 were like, hey, you know what? We'll remove that. We need a hundred million dollars from you to help

00:41:09.980 out on this campaign. I mean, whatever it is, those names are gone too. They're gone. How do I know

00:41:17.340 this? Because the government is completely dishonest. That's how I know that. But anyway,

00:41:26.460 you don't think now Donald Trump, you don't think anything of interest would be in these files? I mean,

00:41:32.260 I think we've already seen some stuff of interest in the emails. No, I think there are stuff of

00:41:39.280 interest. I don't think that there is going to be anyone at a very high level that is going to get

00:41:46.420 there's going to be like, holy cow, look, here's pictures with him with a 14 year old girl.

00:41:52.640 It's not going to happen. That stuff, at least at the upper level is not there.

00:41:57.740 Now, here's what is interesting. The timing of the release of a few documents last week,

00:42:05.220 the Democrats released some documents and they released them at the same time that Johnson was

00:42:14.460 saying, by the way, we are going to expedite the releasing of everything. So there's no reason to

00:42:20.680 leak anything, but the Democrats decide to leak some stuff. They leak a memo. And in that,

00:42:28.420 oh my gosh, look at what was said. What was said in that memo? Well, it was said, you know,

00:42:40.000 the only dog that hasn't barked is Trump. Well, what did he mean by that? He's keeping it quiet.

00:42:49.380 All of these things, all these innuendos and everything. Well, now we know from a guy who

00:42:54.720 wrote the book, all the president's women, Donald Trump and the making of a predator.

00:43:00.440 That guy came out this weekend and said, no, no, no, that's not what he meant.

00:43:05.780 So Barry Levine comes on and he's on MSNBC this weekend and he's asked, so tell me,

00:43:13.320 I mean, we saw this email between you and Epstein. What did he mean when he said the dog has that

00:43:20.920 hasn't barked is Trump? What do you think he's referring to? Okay. What was he referring to?

00:43:27.920 I think Epstein is referring to the fact that he believed that Donald Trump talked to Michael

00:43:33.140 Ryder, who was the Palm Beach police chief in 2004 and began the first investigation into Jeffrey

00:43:39.940 Epstein. So in other words, he was the whistleblower. Yeah, but he's got all kinds of

00:43:47.380 stuff in his, in, in Jeffrey Epstein's black books. He's the whistleblower. The one thing you don't do

00:43:55.060 is blow the whistle. When you know, you've got fingerprints all over the dead body and the handgun

00:44:01.100 that killed him. You know what? I think you could find that handgun in this alleyway. Your fingerprints

00:44:09.080 are on it, man. Why would you blow the whistle? The suspect, uh, he said, I suspect that Jeffrey

00:44:16.300 Epstein was saying he was 75% there believing that Trump might've been the whistleblower at the time.

00:44:22.420 He believed at 75%. Now, how do you release something? I mean, if you think things are going

00:44:33.340 to be released that are going to get Donald Trump, why would you release that? Where after two days of

00:44:39.560 it being out, the guy who was part of that email who hates Donald Trump is like, yeah, that's not what

00:44:46.100 it means. It means he was the whistleblower. That is interesting. And I will say, you know,

00:44:53.040 it is, it's amazing that that's what they released and chose to release. That's another, that's the

00:44:58.280 same email, by the way, that you're mentioning that they blacked out the name of, uh, of Virginia

00:45:05.240 Jeffrey, which, which they did intentionally because she has said that he was nothing but respectful and

00:45:11.740 never was with any of the girls at all in not only her book, but also in, in testimony, uh, under oath.

00:45:20.280 And, uh, the other one that they released, which said, um, uh, Trump, uh, uh, he says, of course he

00:45:28.000 knew about the girls was the other big one that they released, which they left out the, I mean,

00:45:33.520 they didn't leave it out, but they just hoped you didn't focus on the next part of the sentence,

00:45:37.700 which he says he, of course he knew about the girls as he asked Jelaine to stop, which would

00:45:44.060 indicate, even if he was aware of this, which I don't think this had anything to do with the sex

00:45:48.560 stuff. I think this was about him taking the poaching, poaching employees, girls from Mar-a-Lago

00:45:54.700 employees. He knows that we're poaching these girls. Doesn't mean he knows what they're, he's doing

00:46:00.740 with him. Stop taking my employees. Right. Okay. Yeah. Now, if you suspect he's the whistleblower

00:46:08.540 and he knew you were taking employees from him, you know, in retrospect, you know, looking at it

00:46:15.680 later, you go like, Oh man, he's the whistleblower, but he also knows about the girls. He knows we were

00:46:21.160 taking them. Does he know what we were doing with the girls? Right. I mean, this does not hurt

00:46:28.140 Donald Trump. It helps Donald Trump. Well, what about the one where they released from

00:46:31.920 Jeffrey Epstein, where he said, I've met some very bad people and none are as bad as Trump.

00:46:36.780 I mean, what if they come up with bad comments from Jeffrey Dahmer about Donald Trump? What will

00:46:41.480 you say then? It's just so dumb. I've eaten some bad eggs in my life, but I would not eat Donald 1.00

00:46:49.200 Trump. I'll tell you that right now. At Desjardins, we speak business. We speak startup funding and
