00:00:00.680 Every Olympic dream starts somewhere.

00:00:03.340 At first, it's just potential.

00:00:17.860 New movie out called Animal Farm.

00:00:20.480 It's a bold animated adaption of George Orwell's classic tale.

00:00:24.780 It brings George Orwell to a new generation

00:00:27.320 that desperately needs to learn about the dangers of totalitarianism, communism,

00:00:31.900 and honestly, really nasty capitalism gone wrong, cronyism.

00:00:38.180 A lucky young pig whose curiosity and courage guides through the farm's rise and fall.

00:00:43.580 All through his eyes, you'll see the hope, the betrayal, and the dangers of totalitarian power.

00:00:49.140 Rather than numbing your brain, you and your kids will have some good questions to discuss as a family,

00:00:53.820 and that is the whole point.

00:00:55.680 Angel is brave enough to bring this story to theaters

00:03:03.600 the indictment there the fcc tsa thousand people have uh quit their jobs on tsa we're still not

00:03:10.640 funding that thing we didn't get a chance to talk about the clinton foundation yesterday

00:03:14.740 The king, the king's in town.

00:03:16.460 The king's in town.

00:03:18.220 Yay.

00:03:19.840 What happened yesterday at the White House was pretty remarkable. 0.98

00:03:26.260 But what a snot that guy is. 0.96

00:03:28.120 I'm sorry. 0.98

00:03:28.620 I know he's the king.

00:03:29.440 I know he's the king, but I'm glad we're away from him.

00:03:31.960 We'll get into that here in just a little while.

00:03:33.860 First, let me tell you about Rough Greens.

00:03:36.020 Listen, oh, by the way, Benny Johnson's going to be on with me in a second

00:03:39.380 because we have a disagreement, and I have real respect for Benny.

00:03:44.260 and he disagreed with me online yesterday,

00:03:49.320 and I wanted to have a conversation with him on that.

00:03:51.480 We'll talk about it coming up in just a second.

00:03:53.200 Look, if you don't want your dog to have more energy,

00:03:57.860 I mean, I guess I sort of get it, you know.

00:04:01.480 The tennis ball, been lost under the couch for six months,

00:04:05.640 and you'd prefer to keep it that way.

00:04:07.040 I get that.

00:04:08.320 Maybe you're enjoying a quiet evening from time to time,

00:04:10.700 But seeing your dog feel like their old self, more alert, more playful, more engaged, more like the companion that you know they are, is really a great thing.

00:04:21.640 And that's what Rough Greens does to your dog.

00:04:25.500 It almost turns them into a puppy dog again.

00:04:29.380 At least it did for Uno.

00:04:31.660 I mean, it was like he gained four or five years back to his health.

00:04:35.540 um if you prefer you know full-time naps then you know probably don't give your dog rough greens if

00:04:42.620 you want them to live a longer healthier life and have that energy back without being a crack

00:04:48.240 uh rough greens ruffgreens.com use the discount code beck that's roughgreens.com promo code beck

00:05:09.220 nothing but love glenn thanks for i don't and and same i'm not a reply guy yesterday

00:05:16.220 i'm not a reply guy but i saw it and i said this is a this is a problem this is a misunderstanding

00:05:23.640 and we should correct this i'm glad that your producer reached out glad we can chat yeah yeah

00:05:28.800 Yeah. So I saw it yesterday and Benny, you know, I respect you. Um, and you know, and I know you're

00:05:33.660 not a bomb thrower and we could have a real conversation and I might be missing something

00:05:38.560 that you are seeing. Um, you know, I, I look at things I've been in broadcast now for 49 years.

00:05:46.460 So I know the FCC inside and out. I know all the rules, et cetera, et cetera. And I can't find my

00:05:51.100 way around it, but in some ways, man, would I love to, I'm so sick of all of this stuff,

00:05:57.960 but i want to make sure we're not violating the principles that we all hold dear so sure i said

00:06:05.280 yesterday that if i worked at abc if i were running abc i'd fire jimmy kimmel in a heartbeat

00:06:10.560 because of standards it's just it's reprehensible what he has done um and i would send a message to

00:06:17.440 the country we're not for that okay uh and if i would have said something like that about barack

00:06:23.060 obama at fox i would have expected to be fired um however with that being said i don't see the fcc

00:06:31.580 move here and if there is an fcc move i'd prefer the president although i do prefer that he's out

00:06:38.220 in the open unlike joe biden where they're hiding it uh i prefer that it's not directed by the

00:06:43.900 president i prefer that it is something that is just uh the fcc takes care of because it's a clear

00:06:49.920 violation, but I can't find the violation. You may be able to. So help me out, Benny.

00:06:54.940 Sure, sure. So let's attack this from three different perspectives, Glenn. First, the moral

00:07:01.960 obligations, then the regulatory obligations. And then what I find most important is the

00:07:07.460 obligations of our movement in order to establish barriers and to have instructive moments. And I

00:07:13.720 think this is one, certainly. The moral obligation. Glenn, you had a hit show on Fox for how many

00:07:19.240 years a decade you were the number one rated broadcast in the world on cable news for how long

00:07:24.660 i don't know two years okay uh either way it was must see tv it was you made the chalkboard you

00:07:33.120 probably sold more you probably the biggest chalkboard salesman in the history of the world

00:07:37.540 the chalkboard industry does love me yes that's exactly right yes right yeah uh if you would you

00:07:44.120 and you you went out on your show and you were very prescient i mean i gotta tell you man um

00:07:48.780 There was nothing like Glenn Beck calling out the Soros Foundation from a thousand yards away when nobody was talking about this kind of stuff.

00:07:55.720 You were talking about Bill of Ayers.

00:07:56.840 You were saying some pretty radical stuff about Barack Obama.

00:07:59.940 All of it turned out to be true.

00:08:01.740 But you wouldn't even have been able to finish your opening monologue if you had said Michelle Obama deserves to be a widow. 0.99

00:08:08.700 Correct.

00:08:09.140 If you had said Michelle Obama deserves to be a widow, and not only that, a glowing widow, meaning she would like for her husband to die, then you wouldn't have been – you would have been pulled from the show, right?

00:08:20.360 You wouldn't – the five-second –

00:08:22.140 Right, and I would have deserved it.

00:08:24.480 Am I wrong?

00:08:24.720 However –

00:08:25.320 Am I wrong?

00:08:25.960 No, no, no.

00:08:27.100 But hang on just a second.

00:08:27.940 So if you said that about Hillary Clinton –

00:08:29.200 Hang on.

00:08:29.580 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:08:29.660 If you said that about Hillary Clinton or Jill Biden, you would have been pulled as well.

00:08:34.860 And if you would use Jimmy Kimmel's –

00:08:36.620 Yes, but I would have –

00:08:36.680 So this is the moral – this is like the moral –

00:08:38.360 Hold it. 0.91

00:08:38.580 talk about like the moral yeah betty wait yes but i wouldn't have had the fcc come after me

00:08:46.000 fox would have done it the fcc doesn't have anything to do with cable news so they couldn't

00:08:52.280 have done it that way they would have what would have happened is the left would have mounted a

00:08:57.520 campaign and the right would have folded um and and fox honestly i think fox would have been right

00:09:03.960 to fire me had i said something like that okay but it wouldn't have been the fcc and it wouldn't

00:09:09.280 have been the federal government glenn this is you please allow me to allow me to construct my

00:09:14.120 argument i'll wheel in a chalkboard next time and i'll draw it out okay i'll draw it out all right

00:09:18.700 let's go so so so first off there is no moral ground for jimmy kimmel to stand on if jimmy

00:09:24.720 kimmel himself had said this about jill biden and use the same rationale because jill biden is

00:09:29.540 significantly younger than joe like by i think 15 years and he said well melania is younger than

00:09:34.320 trump that's why she's an expectant widow it wouldn't apply to jill biden if he said jill

00:09:38.240 biden is an expectant widow joe biden has terminal cancer he'd be ripped off air too same thing about

00:09:43.300 hillary clinton hillary's younger than bill and bill's not in good shape but he wouldn't be able

00:09:47.620 to get away with that we all know what's going on it's permissible yes to celebrate and to fetishize

00:09:52.580 the death of republicans and that that's what they're signaling here and so i want to just

00:09:56.540 establish that morally you wouldn't be able to get away with it any other way uh and the fact

00:10:00.880 that they're letting them get away with it agree yeah on this and then with that with that bs

00:10:05.420 rationale of course that oh she's younger so i can say something like this how about this glenn

00:10:10.160 i was raised in shooeyville iowa this is a town of 412 people there is one gas station that's

00:10:17.640 also the town bar and also the town pizzeria and also the town vhs rental shop that's where i grew

00:10:23.000 up if you were to walk into that bar on a friday night and you normally could and find a couple of

00:10:27.280 old timers sitting there with their wives and they're both having a light beer right and that's

00:10:31.280 how they unwind on a friday night at the gas station bar pizzeria video rental shop and if

00:10:37.680 you were to walk up to that farmer and say you uh your wife looks like an expectant widow what do 1.00

00:10:42.800 you think would happen i get my ass kicked punched in the mouth i get my i get my ass kicked across 1.00

00:10:48.880 the street and into the soybean field that's what would happen in shooeyville iowa where i'm from 1.00

00:10:52.680 Probably where you're from, too, I would assume. Right. Nobody would ever look no in no universe is Jimmy Kimmel's explanation of this logical, not with other first ladies, not with your wife, not with anyone's wife.

00:11:07.280 So on every level, this should be knocked down. And the FCC is going to the FCC took action against ABC News in their own station yesterday.

00:11:16.380 And I want to talk through why this is different than what we could say on this program or what we could say anywhere else, because you are free to say that you are free.

00:11:25.760 I would be free. I would be free to walk into that bar and suffer the consequences of the farmer punching me in the mouth.

00:11:32.060 Jimmy Kimmel is free to stand on a street corner, pick up a cardboard box, scribble on it and yell whatever he wants.

00:11:39.600 He's gone to no king's protests. He's done this. I'm not saying Jimmy Kimmel shouldn't do this.

00:11:43.860 I'm not against Jimmy Kimmel's free speech. That's free speech. What I am against is taxpayer

00:11:49.160 subsidized calls to assassination, which is what we are doing right now with Jimmy Kimmel. Let me

00:11:54.420 explain. Jimmy Kimmel operates on a federal broadcast license. This is from the FCC. These

00:12:00.880 are authorities that were granted to specific networks in 1923. These specific networks have

00:12:08.100 an option to operate on an electromagnetic spectrum that is considered a scarce public

00:12:13.780 resource that the FCC manages and licenses specifically to prevent interference between

00:12:20.160 stations so that they can have licensures and broadcasts in times of emergency.

00:12:25.700 These broadcasters must serve in the public interest and convenience and necessity and

00:12:30.620 have core legal standards and obligations under the 1924 Communications Acts.

00:12:35.280 These licensees do not own the spectrum. The government owns the spectrum. The government gives them a temporary privilege to use that spectrum. This applies to some AM, FM radio stations. It applies to all major public broadcasters. That would be PBS, ABC, NBC, and CBS.

00:12:51.680 They have to exist under a fair time, equal time in the public interest broadcast viewers, and they can be penalized or have their licenses stripped if they are found to be broadcasting profanity, pornography, if they are found to be broadcasting untruths, things that they know are verifiable lies, if they are found to be operating outside of the public interest, which is a broad legal descriptor of what your broadcast should be.

00:13:20.320 And I would argue, Glenn, that since Jimmy Kimmel is using this billion, if not trillions of dollars of infrastructure that was built by the government, that's maintained by the taxpayers, that has been serviced by our federal dollars, that he should have to apply for these standards.

00:13:39.620 And these standards do not cover him making fun of Charlie Kirk's assassination, calling for the assassination of a duly elected president.

00:13:48.220 In no universe should that be allowed so that it is impermissible under the operations of Jimmy Kimmel's and ABC News's lavish privileges that they get from the federal taxpayer dollars.

00:14:00.180 Jimmy Kimmel can do what every other bum does and get on get on a street corner with a cardboard sign.

00:14:06.020 He can start a YouTube. He can go on Spotify. 0.98

00:14:09.060 Jimmy Kimmel can do whatever the hell he wants.

00:14:10.740 He can do smoke signals up in the mountains.

00:14:12.800 That's also free speech.

00:14:14.420 But Jimmy Kimmel shouldn't be able to use my tax dollars at force, which is what's going

00:14:18.600 on, because if you don't pay taxes and I don't pay taxes, to Jimmy Kimmel, we go to

00:14:22.240 prison.

00:14:22.920 So that's force.

00:14:24.380 With that force and with that privilege comes standards.

00:14:27.980 Therefore, Jimmy Kimmel should be ripped off air and the FCC should do a full investigation

00:14:32.120 of ABC and their broadcast licenses.

00:14:34.540 And sure, as shooting, Glenn, that's exactly what they're doing right now.

00:14:38.660 All right. Let me take a one minute break and I'll come back and I want to talk to you about

00:14:42.620 the regulations because I think you're incorrect about the regulation. I want to, I want to

00:14:47.120 understand what you're saying about taxpayer subsidies because, um, there is no maintenance

00:14:52.260 to the public spectrum. However, you are absolutely right on the standards. Um, but I,

00:15:00.000 I want to understand what you're saying about taxpayer subsidy. Um, uh, how you're, how you're

00:15:06.140 getting, how you're getting there. We'll do that here in just a second. First, let me tell you

00:15:09.840 about SuperSure. If you own a business, I'm, you know, I'm guessing anytime somebody says the word

00:15:15.480 insurance, you immediately, you know, reach out for the crucifix in garlic because a lot of business

00:15:20.660 owners look at insurance like some kind of curse that is passed down through the generations.

00:15:25.160 Mysterious. It is endless and terms, no conditions, terms and conditions that no human has ever

00:15:32.220 actually said out loud. They cause more questions than give answers. This is why I want you to know

00:15:38.880 about SuperSure. It is built to make commercial insurance clearer, faster, and less painful for

00:15:44.040 business owners who already have enough to do. You look, you do everything already. The last

00:15:49.420 thing you need to do is look at somebody and go, are we insured for that? I don't know. What do

00:15:54.620 you mean you don't know? You'll be able to understand all of your policies. You'll be able

00:15:59.500 to get the best pricing on all of the, this is this, this system can look through AI, all of the

00:16:05.620 policies, your insurance agent can't do that. They can look through all of the policies and find the

00:16:10.240 right one for your specific business and exactly what you're looking for. So somebody comes back

00:16:16.080 and they're like, Hey, can we file a claim for this? You'll know immediately, find out no

00:16:20.560 obligation. If you're overinsured or underinsured, just go to supersure.com slash Beck. That's

00:16:26.220 supersure.com slash Beck. One super agency, one powerful platform, and all of your policies in

00:16:31.980 one place. supersure.com slash Beck. Paid for by Supersure Insurance Agency, LLC,

00:16:38.500 a licensed insurance agency. 10 seconds, station 90.

00:16:42.580 okay so tell me about the taxpayer funding get go a little deeper on that for me benny and then

00:16:58.420 uh let's talk about the movement because you said it was moral i think you made the case on that

00:17:02.660 regulatory i'm not sure uh and then what it means for the movement so let's go back to the the

00:17:10.220 funding. So this electromagnetic spectrum is maintained by transistors. It is maintained

00:17:17.840 by towers. And those towers are incredibly important to the broadcast capacity.

00:17:24.180 They're all paid for by the local stations or the corporations, not the federal government.

00:17:32.260 None of that is federal government money. Of course. But what those licenses allow

00:17:37.780 is for federal deductions.

00:17:40.560 It allows for operations to be maintained

00:17:43.940 throughout this system.

00:17:47.140 The corporations that own these licenses

00:17:48.920 have these lavish privileges

00:17:51.660 in order to broadcast directly into every single home.

00:17:54.940 How much more valuable would my program be

00:17:57.800 if every TV came with The Benny Show,

00:18:01.360 loaded in and locked in

00:18:03.040 and it's just a channel you click on

00:18:04.580 and you don't have to pay for?

00:18:05.600 again like there there are federal subsidies that go into that and glenn you've been around

00:18:11.360 this business enough to know that these kind of things become massive write-offs these kind of

00:18:15.940 things uh have huge loopholes and one way or another the taxpayer ends up paying for it

00:18:21.780 i can't go there with you but i can see your point but i can't go there with you i mean it's

00:18:27.740 because that's a business expense and it's don't let me do you know and don't let me do your taxes

00:18:32.460 i know abc broadcast is worth much less than a cable network is now and both of them are going

00:18:41.740 to hell in a handbasket because of the internet so uh you know it's not like it was 20 years ago

00:18:48.460 but go ahead how much more valuable how much more valuable would my program be if every single tv

00:18:53.920 in the country for the last 100 years had my program automatically loaded into it for zero

00:19:00.600 dollars that is a massive gift to every broadcaster that gets those precious licenses

00:19:06.900 it is a gift but it is a diminishing gift but i get it i get it all right go ahead

00:19:12.040 doesn't the american tax through the fcc and through the use of that bandwidth and through the

00:19:16.700 the the giving of that bandwidth and then the maintenance even if that maintenance comes

00:19:20.980 directly from the fcc and their own staff and the licensures and the failings of lawyers that

00:19:26.880 it takes to run the FCC and to monitor all this. Isn't that, isn't that a prima facie a gift from

00:19:32.620 the taxpayer? Actually, it's a curse on the taxpayer. I'd like to see all of it abolished

00:19:39.600 myself. Thank you. But, you know, I don't want to make the case that, hey, we need more lawyers

00:19:47.240 and more regulations. Now we're talking, Glenn. Yes. All right. So, so go to the, go to the

00:19:54.720 movement, go to the movement. What does this mean about our movement? Yeah. So you were at Charlie's

00:20:01.720 funeral. Uh, you did a number of events and we're so close with Charlie. And, um, when I saw what

00:20:12.900 Jimmy Kimmel did to my dear friend in the hours, the mere hours, uh, after his death, which is of

00:20:22.020 course, to lie about the nature of the shooting, to lie in favor of the assassin, to lie about

00:20:29.020 who the assassin was and why they killed Charlie.

00:20:31.680 To call him MAGA is to say that Charlie deserved that death because Charlie would have been

00:20:35.680 a MAGA movement president in the coming years.

00:20:39.360 He would have been probably 49 or 50.

00:20:42.020 And so to say that his shooter was MAGA is to say that Charlie created the movement that

00:20:47.060 killed him, which is, of course, the opposite of what happened.

00:20:50.320 Jimmy Kimmel refused to talk about motive.

00:20:52.840 He did the same thing, by the way, in his non-apology to Melania Trump last night.

00:20:57.400 He refused to talk about the gunman's motive in Washington, D.C.

00:21:01.220 This alone is, of course, lying by omission. 0.94

00:21:03.920 They know damn well why these people are murdering Republicans, Trump, trying to murder Trump and murdering Charlie. 0.57

00:21:10.460 And so when I saw Jimmy Kimmel do that, I said, of course, this is abhorrent. 0.87

00:21:13.620 And we led the charge on social media to say this is totally wrong and people need to call their local broadcast affiliates to get Jimmy Kimmel ripped off air.

00:21:23.560 And sure enough, Jimmy Kimmel got taken off air for a week or two.

00:21:28.280 But what happened afterward repulsed me and made me so angry because what happened afterwards was we got woke scolded by our own side, by people on our own side.

00:21:38.820 Ben Shapiro, Ted Cruz used this as an opportunity to get a little doggy treat and a pat on the head by the left and to say in this moment where I'm simply trying to defend the legacy of Charlie and say this is – which, by the way, Erica agrees with me that all of the individuals at Turning Point that currently operate and built Charlie's show with him, they all agree with me.

00:21:59.020 They were all repulsed and sickened by this.

00:22:01.940 So was I.

00:22:02.380 We had we had we had a tax from the right telling us like what is which is what always happens, which is, well, could you imagine if it was on the other side?

00:22:12.280 No, I couldn't because I don't have a federal broadcast license because the taxpayers don't subsidize my programming.

00:22:18.380 I am making the case. I'm not making a free speech case.

00:22:22.020 I personally believe that I that my side is benefited and certainly my channels are benefited every time Jimmy Kimmel says something stupid. 0.97

00:22:29.620 OK, I want Jimmy Kimmel to speak as much as possible. 0.98

00:22:31.600 I don't want to pay for it.

00:22:32.800 I don't want to subsidize it.

00:22:34.260 And there are standards that come with that subsidy.

00:22:37.320 And so that was the point I was making.

00:22:38.640 The American taxpayer shouldn't be forced to listen to this.

00:22:41.660 And multiple stations like Nexstar and Sinclair said, no, we agree with you.

00:22:46.220 They shouldn't.

00:22:46.900 And they shut Jimmy Kimmel down by preempting his show.

00:22:50.860 And so that is the thing that is instructive for the movement.

00:22:54.180 When the left gets an opportunity to exercise power over us, they take it and they wield it with an iron fist.

00:23:02.960 And I'm calling for the right to do the same thing.

00:23:06.600 Benny, great points.

00:23:08.720 I want to digest them.

00:23:10.700 I'm going to take it under advisement.

00:25:16.600 welcome to the uh glenbeck program uh let me see let me go to uh let me go to pam in arizona we're

00:25:24.640 talking about jimmy kimmel i i'm going to give you the way i look at things uh coming up at the top

00:25:30.280 of the hour let me talk to pam in arizona hello pam hi there good morning how are you thank you

00:25:39.000 for being an insider good go ahead yes good uh in 2024 october 21st 2024 you asked us to send

00:25:50.020 letters to our local cbs stations about the 60 minutes broadcast and the interview that they

00:25:56.660 had that we needed to ask for the whole transcript to be released i wrote a letter which i generally

00:26:04.900 don't do to the general manager of our kpho station here in phoenix arizona and i received

00:26:12.280 a letter back from not from her because she was out of the office that day but from i guess her

00:26:19.160 assistant or something and she said just to clarify in 2017 the fcc eliminated the public

00:26:29.280 file requirement for letters and emails to the public. And then she gave me a link to another

00:26:36.260 place to talk about that. But I'm interested to see if that's really true, because you say

00:26:43.980 you've been in the business a long time, that the FCC needs those letters, and now they're saying

00:26:50.660 that since 2017, they no longer need them. Have you ever heard about that? I don't believe that

00:26:57.440 to be true i would have to check into it with an attorney but i don't believe that to be true look

00:27:01.600 this is this is what is called uh the public inspection file when when benny was talking

00:27:07.560 about uh you know the network and the network benefits from this it's uh forget about the

00:27:13.080 network the network doesn't matter the network doesn't care about anything it because the network

00:27:19.140 uh is you know nbc is already doing peacock and everything else they're going online

00:27:23.860 it's the local stations that matter the network does not get a license from the federal government

00:27:30.360 what gets a license from the federal government are the local stations and the fcc has always

00:27:37.460 demanded that there is a public inspection file now it used to be literally a file cabinet and

00:27:44.320 anyone could walk in and say i want to see your public inspection file and you could walk into

00:27:50.560 your local station and they would have to put you in a room with that cabinet and you could go

00:27:54.500 through everything in their file. Okay. Cause it's, it's your public, right. Um, and that has

00:28:01.800 changed in this regard. They don't have to keep a literal file cabinet. It is now, uh, mainly kept

00:28:09.800 online and it is, it's hosted through the FCC's database system. So there is a database that they

00:28:17.400 have to keep. And what they have to keep are the political advertising records, who bought ads,

00:28:23.600 how much did you charge, et cetera, et cetera. Any request for airtime that was denied,

00:28:28.920 they have to keep record of that. Programming obligations, which things have you done that

00:28:35.020 are in the public interest? Where did you go the extra mile? You have to keep all of the ownership

00:28:40.660 information, and this has been limited, but not erased, the complaints and correspondence.

00:28:49.440 So, and this is where you make local stations sweat. If you know that you're going into the

00:28:58.380 public inspection file, and I will do some more homework so I can give this to you tomorrow to

00:29:02.340 make sure that it is exactly right. But when you go in and you write a letter and you are using

00:29:09.520 specific language like this is not in the public interest. This is a violation of our community

00:29:15.980 standards. When the FCC walks in and believe me, they will walk in because that's what they're

00:29:21.560 talking about doing now is walking in and looking at those inspection files or those public files

00:29:27.460 and inspecting them. When they see 500, 600, a thousand letters saying this is a violation of

00:29:34.340 our community standards. This is not in our public interest. You're in violation of serving

00:29:40.220 your own community. The FCC then has an obligation to say, what did you do about these? How did you

00:29:47.840 respond to these? If at least in the old days, I will again, check out, uh, to make sure I know

00:29:54.500 it is required to keep these things online. I don't know what the limiting factors are now.

00:30:01.880 i have to check um but if you have destroyed anything if you because you want to always cc

00:30:09.320 the fcc on this if they haven't kept something that you sent to them and to the fcc they're in

00:30:16.040 real trouble and this is the only thing that makes a uh a television station or a radio station sweat

00:30:23.880 can you get dom on the phone for me he'll know this about radio what are the public inspection

00:30:29.180 files required to do yeah have him call yeah dom if you're listening dom is the program

00:30:34.680 program director of uh the uh uh of this program and and all the other programs that we do on on

00:30:42.540 audio um and he is he was he was a vice president of cbs he'll know this answer right off the top

00:30:48.900 of his head and he owns stations now so he'll know but yes um it is my understanding they have

00:30:54.640 to keep it. And that is the Achilles heel. Forget about the network. The network does not

00:31:00.200 care. The network doesn't care. Now, the local stations, when they pull something like Jimmy

00:31:06.860 Kimmel, now they're going to be in trouble because, let's say they say, this is not in our

00:31:12.480 interest. Now CBS can say, really? Good. Well, then you're in violation, unless it's in their

00:31:19.260 contract. You're in violation of the network. You have to take our prime time. You have to take

00:31:24.540 our commercials and our prime time. And you may have to be, you may be required to take certain

00:31:29.120 other elements to be able to keep your contract with the network. You lose the network. Now that

00:31:35.420 local station is going, I've got to fill 10 hours every day or 12 hours. I don't have the programming.

00:31:42.620 So the local station is right in a crap storm on all of this, but that's the Achilles heel.

00:31:49.920 I hope that answers your question.

00:31:53.780 Let me see.

00:31:54.560 Let's go to Colt in Texas.

00:31:56.380 Hello, Colt.

00:31:57.180 What a great name, only from Texas.

00:31:59.420 Hi.

00:31:59.980 Well, actually, that's not my name.

00:32:01.580 It's Todd.

00:32:02.220 He got my last name wrong.

00:32:03.220 But anyway, real quick.

00:32:04.800 Okay, sorry.

00:32:05.300 Benny almost got it right.

00:32:06.640 The subsidy is not tax rate, officer, investments.

00:32:09.560 That's not right.

00:32:11.220 The subsidy is as follows.

00:32:12.720 Do you remember when the federal government started saying to AT&T and Verizon and P-Mobile,

00:32:18.620 you want to put up that cell phone tower you have to pay for the electromagnetic magnetic airspace

00:32:24.560 do you remember that yes same with the networks but the only thing they had to do is apply for a

00:32:32.540 license and the government said okay it's all yours the individual stations it's all yours

00:32:36.800 they never had to pay for the airspace everybody else has to pay for the airspace they paid

00:32:42.320 billions for 5g same for 4g and all the little network stations okay that's a different that's

00:32:49.960 a great case that is a great case um and uh and that probably happened because of you know 1936

00:33:00.340 when they're starting to dole these things out uh and they they looked at these networks and

00:33:05.900 and gave them a sweetheart deal i don't know if you can go back on a sweetheart deal it goes back

00:33:10.240 to the 1930s but that's a good case thanks for your call we have dom on dom hey dom hey are you

00:33:21.120 required to keep public records as local stations now do you have to keep the same things that we

00:33:26.740 used to keep in the file cabinets yes the difference is they're no longer in file cabinets

00:33:31.580 it's all online so you you can in fact it's required now and you can see any station's public

00:33:38.260 file online absolutely how do you do that and i heard how do you do that i heard you you can go

00:33:45.880 to the fcc's website and put in the call letters of the station that you want to uh look at and

00:33:52.040 you can pull up any radio or tv station in america and all of their correspondence is on there you'd

00:33:59.780 mentioned that yesterday and it is absolutely true that you know correspondence from the public

00:34:05.640 um still still has to be shown there and and also the um radio or television station's response it

00:34:13.360 is a local thing so you you are correct right and it yesterday it is the one thing i mean you've been

00:34:19.560 a station owner for a long time and you were a vice president of cbs uh radio um and so you know

00:34:26.220 the one thing i mean since i i mean i got into radio when i was 13 years old the one thing that

00:34:32.180 makes them sweat is records if you don't keep those logs you don't keep the records you don't

00:34:38.860 keep your public file they all all of them know the FCC can pull our license at any time

00:34:45.260 and that does it still make them sweat like that Dom maybe not quite in the same way you know the

00:34:52.380 FCC hasn't been as strict on that as they once were but yeah it's still you know if you're a

00:34:58.780 a group owner sure and you know one of the things too that we i you know i worked for abc actually

00:35:05.000 started at abc back in the in the 80s abc radio that was when that was still a thing

00:35:09.860 and back then and even when i was at cds we still had standards and practices you you had to talk

00:35:17.720 to you know if anything came up from the the public an objection or a you know strongly worded

00:35:23.440 letter we had i had to get involved because i was involved on a corporate level and if it was a

00:35:29.400 you know if it was a station matter like that i had to get involved as a corporate executive on

00:35:34.060 on on that absolutely it still makes it much to a degree so what and and i'll tell you based on

00:35:43.180 what you just said and knowing knowing what i believe the fcc is talking about here they are

00:35:51.220 they're not saying we're going to invent new rules what they're saying is we're going to start

00:35:55.820 enforcing the rules that are on the books that we haven't enforced for a very long time and so when

00:36:02.240 you say they don't sweat as much because the FCC has been lax I think what Brendan Carr is saying

00:36:07.580 is we're not going to be lax on this anymore if it's if it's written down as a rule we're enforcing

00:36:13.920 it would you agree i totally agree and they need to they need to i mean like you know that you

00:36:21.560 won't find a stronger first amendment fan than me you know i i wave that flag constantly but

00:36:27.460 there it is being abused by people like kimmel it is so so tell me about standards and practices

00:36:36.220 you're at a network jimmy kimmel says something like that what does it what happens what does

00:36:41.720 that mean well usually the standards and practices folks are very um have you ever seen the howard

00:36:48.740 stern movie you know private parks yeah the two attorneys are sitting there and uh and they read

00:36:55.520 a bunch of legal ease you know you can't say this this this this and this it's almost like that

00:37:00.520 that's kind of a dramatic version of it but it's it's not it's not unlike that um it's usually

00:37:06.900 lawyers and and they will you know quote the the letter of the law uh of the fcc and um they will

00:37:14.960 tell you that they feel you're getting too close to that line they they used to be at cbs they were

00:37:20.520 real conservative about that i i they wouldn't even allow stunts things that were off air they

00:37:25.700 were concerned about um you know risk i wanted to do a bit during uh uh the the uh swine flu

00:37:33.820 where we were going to walk a pig up Times Square wearing a mask

00:37:36.980 and our logo on the side, and the lawyer shut that down really fast

00:37:40.360 because he said, oh, my goodness, we could get sued.

00:37:42.440 If there's a riot, we'll get sued, and we'll lose our license.

00:37:46.480 That wasn't that long ago.

00:37:48.260 That was 2012.

00:37:48.960 So can I ask you, because you were a radio programmer,

00:37:53.200 and you know Jimmy Kimmel was a radio guy.

00:37:57.160 He's a radio producer, morning show stunt guy.

00:37:59.760 is is you know people look at him and like well he's a you know he's a tv guy no he's not he's a

00:38:06.240 radio producer stunt morning show guy they think differently what are the odds that this whole

00:38:13.200 thing he's just punking everybody he knows exactly what he's doing and he's kind of those old morning

00:38:19.240 zoo guy the guy i used to be an old morning zoo guy that just knows how to get attention and blah

00:38:25.240 blah blah i said that yesterday when all this came out i i think you know a lot of this is him

00:38:31.760 just attempting to be a provocateur to try to get attention uh that i believe that's the case

00:38:38.220 honestly and you know what it worked because everyone's talking about it

00:38:41.820 maybe that's why the lawyers have been lax about it with abc i don't know abc has certainly changed

00:38:51.140 Because when I worked there, now this is years ago, it was a very conservative company when it came to this stuff.

00:38:57.360 Oh, yeah.

00:38:58.180 I mean, it was ABC Disney.

00:39:00.280 The one thing Disney did not do was screw around with lawyers.

00:39:04.000 Man, I mean, they were ruthless, and they knew the law.

00:39:08.400 And if you were violating and you're in the inside, they don't protect you.

00:39:11.720 They would throw you onto the electric fence.

00:39:15.520 It's quite a different world.

00:39:17.640 Dom, I want you to listen.

00:39:18.480 And I'm going to give my analysis of all this and where I stand on this.

00:39:24.020 And I'd love for you to just listen to it and check back with me and see.

00:39:28.280 Because Ricky just said, I think Dom is saying that you're wrong, Glenn.

00:39:32.860 And I don't think he is.

00:39:34.420 I don't think he is.

00:39:35.540 No.

00:39:36.240 But, well, we'll get into the air in a little while.

00:39:39.840 Maybe we'll talk to you a little later.

00:39:41.620 Thank you, Dom.

00:39:42.340 Appreciate it.

00:39:43.120 Let me tell you about rapid radios.

00:41:03.180 At glennbeck.com.

00:41:15.880 Most of us think about protecting our home in very physical ways.

00:41:19.640 We lock the doors, we install the cameras,

00:41:22.160 but there's another way that your home can be targeted

00:41:23.980 and it doesn't involve anyone stepping foot in your property.

00:41:27.100 It is actually called home title fraud

00:41:28.980 and it's exactly what it sounds like.

00:41:31.140 Criminals forge documents, they file them with the county,

00:41:34.120 they transfer ownership of your home into their name 0.99

00:41:36.780 and then once all that happens,

00:41:39.160 they can attempt to take out loans against your property

00:41:41.500 or even try to sell it out from under you.

00:41:47.640 Regular homeowner's insurance doesn't typically protect you from this,

00:41:51.020 and the mortgage company isn't looking for it either.

00:42:57.880 So I want to give you my final piece on this, and then we're going to move on.

00:43:02.920 Because we also have to talk about James Comey and what happened with James Comey and the shell thing.

00:43:09.880 I mean, let me just say this here.

00:43:15.300 One thing is very clear.

00:43:19.440 Either Pam Bondi was not doing her job, or we have somebody in as the acting attorney general who really wants the job because things are changing.

00:43:33.620 And, you know, you'll have to decide whether that's changing in a good way or a bad way.

00:43:38.740 i'm i'm looking at the james comey thing uh and you know i i wish we were going on something a

00:43:45.580 little stronger but let's look at this we'll talk about that coming up in just a second

00:43:50.920 also the clinton foundation the tsa and the speech trump gave with the king yesterday

00:43:58.420 unbelievable speech yesterday in washington coming up

00:44:01.920 One of the most frustrating parts of hearing loss is that it can make you really feel disconnected without ever announcing itself.

00:44:11.620 You're still in the room, you're still nodding along, still showing up, but you're working a lot harder just to keep up.

00:44:17.680 And sometimes you're guessing more than you'd like to admit, and you're just hoping, don't ask me anything because I don't know what we're talking about anymore.

00:44:25.820 What stops a lot of people from doing anything about it is not denial.

00:44:29.220 It's the process. It's the doctor appointments, the multiple visits, the adjustments, the price tag that makes you go, what?

00:44:37.420 So people wait, and you shouldn't have to.

00:44:40.320 Audion was built to remove those barriers.

00:46:16.280 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:46:22.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:46:30.780 America, for years now, we have watched as the foundations of our country,

00:46:36.780 the very idea that no one is above the law, being chipped away.

00:46:42.080 Day after day after day, and you feel betrayed, you're exhausted, quite honestly, you're furious.

00:46:48.040 I am justifiable anger because you're seeing what's happening and then you see all the lies.

00:46:55.380 I mean, you know, just I mean, just look at the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset.

00:47:01.340 That's not happening. That's not happening. That's not happening.

00:47:04.880 DEI. That's not happening. That's not. And then it happens.

00:47:08.040 And they're like, OK, well, maybe it is happening, but it's no big deal.

00:47:11.400 I'm tired of it. I'm tired of it. You are good. You're decent.

00:47:14.900 you work hard, you pay your taxes, you want fairness, actual fairness. And then you see

00:47:22.140 these officials come in and treat the law like it's optional for them, a requirement for us.

00:47:28.460 In fact, we have to live beyond the law. Ironclad for us, but optional for them.

00:47:34.700 The Russian collusion hoax, the Clinton Foundation, which is back in the news,

00:47:38.800 Epstein, Joe Biden's corruption, his son's corruption, the laptop, China, Ukraine,

00:47:45.740 Anthony Fauci and the COVID nonsense, all of it. And this is just scratching the surface.

00:47:51.920 I get it. I feel exactly the way you do. I have had a front row seat and so have you.

00:48:01.080 Watching the slow erosion of trust in our institutions, wondering if anyone in power

00:48:08.220 is going to be held accountable.

00:48:11.780 And that sinking feeling that everything in our system

00:48:14.560 is rigged against the very people it's supposed to protect.

00:48:19.460 So we find ourselves today looking at a couple of things

00:48:23.240 with James Comey and then with Jimmy Kimmel.

00:48:27.720 And the feeling is, get them.

00:48:32.660 Take the gloves off.

00:48:33.960 I just gave a speech in Washington, D.C. the other day

00:48:36.220 where I said, take the gloves off.

00:48:39.020 It is no more Mr. Nice Guy.

00:48:41.160 Take the gloves off.

00:48:43.080 But what does that mean?

00:48:44.920 I'm going to talk about that here in just a second.

00:48:46.760 First, let me tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:48:49.480 This is my company.

00:48:51.260 This is a company that I started.

00:48:52.800 We started working with the 500 best real estate agents

00:48:54.920 in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.

00:48:56.540 And we found out, what do they do?

00:48:58.840 What do they do that makes them

00:49:00.460 the 500 best real estate agents in the country?

00:49:03.400 And then we found that pattern.

00:49:05.120 We learned from them and we started finding more of those people.

00:49:08.460 And now I'll turn you on to those people.

00:49:10.760 It's a free call.

00:49:11.620 I don't, I don't charge you anything for that.

00:49:13.560 You just interview them.

00:49:14.460 If you like them, then you can hire them.

00:49:15.980 But this is a group of people that, hey, they're all fans of the show.

00:49:20.560 We have vetted six ways to Sunday and we watch them.

00:49:23.320 They don't work for me.

00:49:24.460 We just monitor if they are not what they said they were.

00:49:28.840 If they're not performing, if somehow or another they start sliding, we know it immediately

00:49:32.580 and we don't recommend them.

00:49:34.500 Even in a tough market, these people can help you buy or sell a home.

00:49:38.900 And the name says it all.

00:49:40.260 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:49:43.960 realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:49:47.980 Okay.

00:49:49.320 I want to talk to you about Jimmy Kimmel.

00:49:51.860 And last hour, I had Benny Johnson on.

00:49:53.460 We had a great conversation with Benny because he disagreed with me yesterday

00:49:58.660 when I said, look, I understand how the president feels.

00:50:03.420 Melania feels, I mean, I feel that one deeply. Um, I feel it because my own family has come

00:50:09.740 under attack. Um, and my own family has been in danger, not like the president, not like the

00:50:16.140 first lady, but we have been in danger and enough is enough. Enough is enough. And I'm tired of the

00:50:22.080 lies. I'm tired of them getting, I am tired of Jimmy Kimmel being on the air and lying, lying

00:50:30.560 to the American people right after Charlie Kirk dies and says, this was their own side. No, it

00:50:36.780 wasn't. No, it wasn't. Never corrected that. Never held accountable for that. You can't do that.

00:50:45.760 Well, you can, if you're an entertainment program, because then it's just your opinion

00:50:49.260 and you're an entertainer. You know, I'm just making people laugh. Really? So then wait a

00:50:54.040 minute. What are you doing now? What are you, what, what, what are you doing now? You're just

00:50:58.340 making people laugh is that what's happening because a lot of people aren't laughing and the 0.98

00:51:04.540 solution is in a in a decent society the solution is Jimmy Kimmel feels like dog crap when he gets 0.95

00:51:12.220 up he doesn't say then I open up my email to a bunch of vomitous comment he gets up in the morning 0.70

00:51:17.940 he's like I made this joke I feel so horrible about it you know you know in a real world he

00:51:24.040 would have called Melania Trump and said I didn't mean any of that that's not what I meant I am so

00:51:28.180 sorry. What an ill-time joke. I will never do that, but he's not going to because that's not

00:51:32.440 who he is. And we don't live in a decent society anymore. And that is the real problem. You can

00:51:39.700 only regulate so much. We are living in a system that is wholly inadequate for a non-religious, 1.00

00:51:47.060 irreligious, and immoral people. You can't, there's not enough laws. 1.00

00:51:52.060 now what jimmy kimmel said um you know he doubled down on it play a little clip of jimmy kimmel

00:52:00.700 the other night where he's doubling down on this

00:52:03.020 so on thursday three days before the event in order to keep that cherished tradition alive i

00:52:11.600 did my own version of the correspondence dinner on my show i put on a tuxedo we pretended we had

00:52:17.880 an audience of luminaries.

00:52:20.160 We used old footage of the Trumps,

00:52:22.260 of Pete Hegseth, J.D. Vance,

00:52:24.960 Kid Rock, Vanilla Ice,

00:52:26.220 all the members of his cabinet.

00:52:28.380 And we made it seem like

00:52:29.840 they were all together in a room.

00:52:31.280 We had a little roast.

00:52:32.240 Again, this was Thursday,

00:52:33.540 and there was no big reaction to it

00:52:35.180 until this morning

00:52:36.020 when I greeted the day

00:52:38.020 facing yet another Twitter vomit storm.

00:52:41.020 And a call to fire me

00:52:44.020 from our first lady, Melania Trump,

00:52:46.440 saying I should be fired 1.00

00:52:48.040 because of a joke I made,

00:52:49.840 again, five nights ago.

00:52:51.560 It was a pretend roast.

00:52:52.980 I said, our first lady, Melania, is here. 1.00

00:52:55.040 Look at her, so beautiful. 0.67

00:52:56.460 Mrs. Trump, you'll have a glow

00:52:57.800 like an expectant widow,

00:52:59.600 which obviously was a joke 0.93

00:53:04.360 about their age difference

00:53:06.180 and the look of joy

00:53:07.800 we see on her face every time.

00:53:08.940 It was clearly not...

00:53:10.720 If I would have said that

00:53:12.640 about Jill Biden,

00:53:14.860 I would have been fired 0.98

00:53:15.960 and I should have been fired. Jill Biden, you have the look of an expectant widow. I would have never 1.00

00:53:21.320 even thought of that. I would have never said that. You know, look, if you're going to be Lenny

00:53:26.860 Bruce, at least be funny and clever. You're not. You're not. This guy is a radio morning show hack.

00:53:36.320 That's what he is. Okay. And he loves this. Now let's look at the speech here on the surface.

00:53:45.860 This looks like a speech fight. Can the government go after ABC for something Jimmy Kimmel said on

00:53:53.480 Jimmy Kimmel live carried by ABC? The instinct is this isn't funny anymore. This is just political

00:54:01.800 messaging, this is somebody who has repeatedly helped call in the assassin culture. No, no,

00:54:12.580 you can't do that. But if you go straight for the speech itself, you're going to lose because the

00:54:20.360 First Amendment is super strong as it should be. Satire, comedy, commentary, opinion, all protected

00:54:27.420 ground. And the government doesn't get to referee jokes and decide which one went too far. And I

00:54:32.240 don't want it to ever, ever, ever. The door needs to stay closed on that. It has to.

00:54:39.140 Yesterday, I said that I don't like, I feel for the president. I feel for Melania Trump.

00:54:44.440 I know to a very small degree what they're feeling. Very small degree. None of us can

00:54:51.620 relate to it because no one has ever gone through this. And I can understand him going enough is

00:54:58.140 enough, but I don't want the government reacting to the individual. We are a nation of laws and not

00:55:05.800 men. Okay. But this isn't what is, this isn't about what's being said. It's about what the

00:55:15.720 networks say it is. Buried in the communication law is an idea of equal time. Now, this is a

00:55:24.220 requirement that if a broadcaster gives airtime to one political candidate, it has to offer

00:55:29.220 comparable access to others. Now, there is exemptions, and this is where this becomes

00:55:33.680 very important. And I believe this is the path for the FCC if they want to take it. There are two

00:55:39.500 paths. And it's this or nothing, gang. If something back in the Communications Act of 1936,

00:55:48.200 they put all kinds of fairness doctrine and everything else that we don't want.

00:55:52.580 However, this one remained and it is important. 1984, Ronald Reagan came in and said, look,

00:55:59.740 I took my first, in 1978, I took my first FCC license test. Okay. I know this inside and out.

00:56:09.500 And I've dealt with the FCC my whole life and I hate the FCC my whole life.

00:56:16.600 So let's just, let's think this one through. 1984, Ronald Reagan comes in and says, look,

00:56:23.600 the networks aren't the only game in town anymore. So we can relax a lot of these rules. We're not

00:56:28.660 going to regulate what's happening on cable because those are not airwaves. So that's why

00:56:33.220 you get cable swearing and everything else, and you still can't get it on CBS. But there are

00:56:37.960 standards and one of the things that was left in place but never enforced was equal time and here's

00:56:45.140 what this was back in 1936 they realized that you know broadcasters could become very nefarious and

00:56:53.180 very clever if they're for FDR let's say they could have FDR on you know their version of friends or

00:57:00.680 whatever they could have them on a really cool show you'd have Arsenio Hall have uh Bill Clinton

00:57:07.080 on and he'll play the saxophone. And if you wanted to, you could take a really uncool person

00:57:11.980 if you just wrote it right and you could have them on series of episodes and you could make

00:57:16.900 him popular. And so they realized you cannot have equal time for news. News is just news. I can't

00:57:27.220 say here's what the president said and then go have to find the other side of everything because

00:57:31.660 news is happening. So news was exempt from this, but entertainment was not equal time. You're going

00:57:39.020 to put him on, you have to have the other side. Okay. That's the key to make sure that no one

00:57:46.500 could gin up the support, but that's not enforced anyone. So the allegation, the claim that people

00:57:57.080 are circling right now is that networks have over time blurred the line. And in fact, they've done

00:58:03.920 more than that. I would bet, and I don't know, but I have heard that Late Night is now classified

00:58:14.880 as a news program. I know The View is, and The View, part of it is because it started with ABC

00:58:21.620 and so it was produced by the news division, but that doesn't make it a news show.

00:58:26.580 But that's closer to a news show than anything on late night television.

00:58:31.920 If late night television, and it is my understanding, and I'm not sure about Jimmy

00:58:36.120 Kimmel, we'd have to check, but it's my understanding that these are classified

00:58:39.960 with the FCC as news shows. Is it news? Is Jimmy Kimmel news? No, it is taped hours before it airs.

00:58:50.140 It doesn't operate like a newsroom. It doesn't cover breaking developments in real time.

00:58:55.040 It's built around monologues and sketches and entertainment and political commentary layered

00:59:00.700 in, but it is not a news show. Okay. In fact, the only newsmaker that they've had on political

00:59:08.440 newsmaker in the last two months was Gavin Newsom. That's it. Same question for The View.

00:59:13.940 Is that straight news or is that a panel of hosts offering opinions, reactions, arguments to the

00:59:19.760 day. Uh, and it's mainly entertainment. I think with the view, I'm not sure if that's mainly

00:59:26.880 entertainment because they are talking about the news every day in ways I despise, but is it a new

00:59:31.940 show? I don't know. Be careful because am I a new show? Now here's where the FCC might have a

00:59:38.900 legitimate lane. Are broadcasters accurately representing what their programming is?

00:59:45.380 when if if Jimmy Kimmel or any of the late night shows on any network is labeled to get around the

00:59:55.440 FCC rules rules that the FCC still has but has not enforced for a long time if a show is truly

01:00:03.960 news then it gets certain consideration if it's entertainment that's different entirely and you

01:00:10.680 don't get a move back and forth between the categories depending on the benefits of the

01:00:14.780 moment. This is the argument. And if that argument holds, if the network is effectively saying this

01:00:23.060 is news, when it protects us and entertainment, when they want freedom, then there is something

01:00:31.000 a regulator can do. And not just for one show again, all of them across every single network.

01:00:37.460 I am not for inventing new laws. I am for enforcing the laws already on the books.

01:00:43.440 now i don't i can't tell you brendan carr could tell you how it's classified with the fcc

01:00:49.240 but my guess is that abc is doing this and i've heard that other networks are doing it as well

01:00:55.640 that they have reclassively reclassified late night tv as news no nightline was news

01:01:02.900 you know jimmy kimmel is not news

01:01:06.560 now the FCC's authority is not unlimited here but they do have a case on this

01:01:17.220 if that's the case then they should make it now there is another one another case that I think is

01:01:24.920 just as strong if not stronger I don't want the FCC shutting down comedians I don't want them

01:01:33.160 pulling a license over a monologue. Okay. But what's already on the books, what's already on

01:01:39.140 the books needs to be enforced. Now, here's the other thing. Shoot, it's late. Let me give it,

01:01:49.200 give me one minute and I'm going to come back and I'm going to tell you the other thing that

01:01:52.020 makes a difference. I do not want this led by Washington and the FCC. I want this to be led

01:01:58.760 by the people. And there is a way to do this. It's going to take time, but it is the right way

01:02:05.820 without inventing new powers or anything else. I'll give that to you here in 60 seconds. First,

01:02:10.660 the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Sometimes the important thing to know is

01:02:15.460 that another human being is there for you. They're there. The knowledge that somebody has that I

01:02:23.860 haven't been forgotten. That's hope. Right now in Israel, there are elderly men and women and

01:02:29.640 families with children, people living under a constant threat of rockets and violence. There

01:02:33.340 are people who wake up every day to sirens several times in the middle of the night and have to run

01:02:38.240 to a shelter. And in moments like that, isolation can feel really heavy. This is why the International

01:02:43.940 Fellowship of Christians and Jews matters so much. They bring food to the hungry. They help with

01:02:48.620 urgent needs. They care for the elderly. They help families get through days most of us can hardly

01:02:53.480 imagine. But just as importantly, they send a message. You're not alone. You're not abandoned.

01:02:58.700 Somebody across the world sees you, cares about you, standing with you. I don't care what your

01:03:03.440 government is doing. I care about you. Give the gift of hope to God's people because we're God's

01:03:11.660 people too, and we need to stand together. Don't wait. Call 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-IFCJ,

01:03:19.420 or go online to ifcj.org.

01:03:22.260 That's ifcj.org.

01:03:24.040 10 seconds, station ID.

01:03:37.940 All right, I want to give one more thing on this

01:03:40.740 and then I'm going to move on.

01:03:43.240 This is the thing that I talked about a little bit last hour

01:03:48.480 And I've talked about this before. If you want to make a difference, especially with ABC, there's two things. Stop going to Disney World. Get your churches and everybody else to organize and boycott Disney World. I mean, it's really easy to do. Who can afford to go there in the first place? They care about that.

01:04:06.880 If you want the FCC to do something, you must write a letter to your local station.

01:04:15.640 And the letter to the local ABC affiliate says, you have a public interest.

01:04:21.920 You're violating the public interest.

01:04:23.800 You are violating our community standards.

01:04:26.160 You are not serving your community.

01:04:28.700 You say those things and that puts a station on high alert.

01:04:33.160 you have they have to keep that file you have to send it to your local station and cc the fcc

01:04:41.040 when those things start to stack up you got a thousand letters like that the fcc then can go

01:04:47.140 in and say we're looking at your license what did how did you respond to these people what did you

01:04:51.780 do how did you react to that did you just dismiss this that gives the fcc reason to look into these

01:04:59.340 things because you know what in new york city jimmy kimmel is not violating community standards

01:05:04.500 he's not but in a lot of cities he is he is and abc doesn't care about anything the local stations

01:05:15.080 that's what they care about that's what they care about and the local stations if you pit them

01:05:22.360 against abc abc is just a network they're hiring to provide programming okay they could do that

01:05:27.500 for anybody. They just happen to have the ABC, you know, catalog. If ABC becomes a problem for

01:05:35.060 the local stations and the local owners are like, we're going to lose our license, they begin to act

01:05:40.460 and they begin to push back on ABC and say, you're not losing our license for us. That's what causes

01:05:46.400 the turmoil. It has to be done by the local stations. That just requires the FCC to enforce

01:05:54.880 the law. Both of these things require the FCC to do nothing except enforce the law that is already

01:06:02.200 there. You're not making up new rules. You're not doing anything. You are just asking the federal

01:06:08.500 government to enforce the law. And isn't that our frustration? I don't want the government to have

01:06:15.160 more power. I don't want the FCC to have more power. Honestly, I want them to have less power.

01:06:21.480 But we're in a fight. You don't leave any tool in the box unless it's so disproportionate that you, you know, it's crazy to use. You don't bring a nuclear weapon to a knife fight. But we are at war, and it's a war for our country and our civilization.

01:06:39.280 These are two ways. I don't want President Trump. I understand him. I feel for him and especially Melania. This has got to stop. But this is the way to do it with the FCC. It must come from you. And the rest of it, they just must enforce the law because Jimmy Kimmel can't get away with this.

01:07:03.780 If he happens to be classified as news, that's not news.

01:07:07.760 And that they can change tomorrow.

01:07:10.820 All right, let me tell you about SimpliSafe.

01:08:47.940 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:08:49.740 Yesterday, James Comey was indicted on the seashell thing.

01:08:53.580 We'll get into this here in a second.

01:08:54.840 First, here's how he responded.

01:08:56.800 Cut to.

01:08:57.640 This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago.

01:09:04.140 And this won't be the end of it.

01:09:06.500 But nothing has changed with me.

01:09:08.340 I'm still innocent.

01:09:10.020 I'm still not afraid.

01:09:11.960 And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

01:09:15.000 So let's go.

01:09:16.740 But it's really important that all of us remember this is not who we are as a country.

01:09:22.640 This is not how the Department of Justice is supposed to be.

01:09:25.380 and the good news is we get closer every day to restoring those values yeah okay great good for

01:09:33.380 you um all right look i want to make sure i'm consistent can you check with glenn ai ricky

01:09:38.480 have you checked with glenn ai to see it was one of the first things i did this morning i knew we

01:09:43.140 were going to have to talk about this story i want to know what you said back when this initially

01:09:46.320 came out in 2025 you said at first you didn't think comey meant kill him and you interpreted

01:09:52.840 it as getting him out of office that's that was very very generous of you but then you heard

01:09:58.020 tulsi gabbard talk about how he actually may have violated the law and you kind of changed course

01:10:05.460 and you said that he has spent his a career prosecuting the mob he knows exactly what 86

01:10:12.480 that's the way i remember it i remember at first saying 86 real um because i believe 86 it 0.91

01:10:19.400 came from uh something in new york i'm pulling this way out of my butt something in new york

01:10:25.880 during um during prohibition and one street address on one side was like 125th and on the

01:10:33.920 other side of the block it was like 86 and it meant get out of that go 86 it so go through the

01:10:40.900 86 exit because the cops are coming in for the other um and so i interpreted it more like that

01:10:46.940 But then I remember hearing Tulsi Gabbard talk about it and she talked about him with the mob

01:10:51.440 and how the mob uses 86. That is the order to kill. And, and I, so I, I adjusted and was like,

01:11:00.360 well, no, he's not more of a historian. He's more of a prosecutor with the mob. He would know exactly

01:11:07.620 what that means. Okay. So I'm still there. He knew what that meant. This whole innocent bullcrap.

01:11:15.100 Okay, but now let's look at what he was indicted on. 0.96

01:11:19.720 Here are the charges.

01:11:20.780 Count one, threatening the president, a violation of U.S. Code 188718.

01:11:27.100 I'm not going to read all these codes.

01:11:28.980 It makes it a crime to knowingly and willfully make a threat to take the life of or inflict bodily harm on the president of the United States.

01:11:41.400 Is that what he did?

01:11:43.360 Is that what he did?

01:11:45.100 You got to go back to the Vietnam War.

01:11:47.860 The Supreme Court, there was a kid,

01:11:50.240 this is Jonathan Turley pointed this out the other day.

01:11:52.900 There was a kid in the Vietnam War who said,

01:11:56.300 if they give me a rifle to fight,

01:11:58.980 and I have the opportunity, 1.00

01:12:01.360 the first one I'll shoot is LBJ. 0.84

01:12:04.640 And the Supreme Court said that wasn't a violation.

01:12:09.840 If that wasn't a violation,

01:12:11.940 certainly Seashells is not.

01:12:14.140 And I'm not saying that's right or wrong. I'm just saying that's where the court decided with LBJ.

01:12:21.000 And we were living in exactly the same kind of thing. People had been killed, et cetera, et cetera.

01:12:26.900 Count two, transmitting a threat in the interstate foreign commerce. I love this one. 0.71

01:12:32.180 This prohibits knowingly transmitting via Instagram, which crosses state lines, a communication containing a threat to injure, kill another person.

01:12:39.900 Uh, the indictment uses similar reasonable, uh, a recipient language as above maximum

01:12:47.100 penalty is up to 10 years, five years for each count.

01:12:52.640 Now.

01:13:02.120 It's not going to make me popular with you today, but that's okay.

01:13:05.880 My job is to tell you what I think and how I'm looking at it, and I'm not here to convince you

01:13:13.180 of anything. I'm just here to tell you this is what I think, and this is not going to be popular

01:13:18.240 with people who are sick and tired, because I am too, sick and tired of these people getting away

01:13:24.760 with anything. And you know what? You could make a case to me that going after Al Capone for income

01:13:31.840 tax was the right thing to do. But I wish we could get people on actual things that they did

01:13:38.880 and not income tax. But I don't think this is income tax. I don't think you can prove anything.

01:13:46.920 Now, let me say this. Jason, what did I say earlier this morning when I first came in,

01:13:52.040 we first talked about this. It's important that I preface it and I didn't. So let me do it now.

01:13:58.240 it is important that i preface it with with what we know right now for them to file this

01:14:07.360 uh indictment with the seashell picture seems pretty light you know i mean that seems like

01:14:16.500 anybody in the in the office would go um yeah that's not gonna work that's not gonna hold

01:14:23.320 that'll be rejected immediately so with what we

01:14:28.700 other things that are in the indictment that we don't know of and is there any indication of that

01:14:37.820 jason a little bit the acting attorney general did say that it's up to the government to prove

01:14:43.440 this basically through receipts so he acknowledged that this is you know there are receipts coming

01:14:49.280 That's what it sounded like, that there's more to come.

01:14:53.460 Okay.

01:14:54.360 So here's my feeling on this.

01:14:56.560 If there's more to come, there's really nothing to debate.

01:14:59.820 We shouldn't be arguing with each other about this right now.

01:15:02.400 We should watch and see what's coming.

01:15:04.820 Why borrow trouble?

01:15:06.300 Why argue with each other?

01:15:07.720 Why call each other traitor names and you're just against this or you're just for this?

01:15:12.740 Stop.

01:15:13.380 We don't have all of the facts yet.

01:15:15.420 Let's see this play out.

01:15:16.800 my initial take if this is all they have is two one it won't hold up constitutionally um and two

01:15:26.220 i'm not a fan of pan bondi

01:15:36.600 uh by any stretch of the imagination am i a fan of pan bondi i think pan bondi was uh you know a

01:15:45.160 an empty skin suit walking around okay what did she do what did she do um now we have this new

01:15:54.940 acting attorney general who's coming in and all of a sudden we're starting to see things 0.97

01:15:59.520 we're starting to see action okay i want to see real action i don't want

01:16:06.340 it doesn't help us make the case that these guys are bad by going after these kinds of things.

01:16:17.120 Okay. The, the shells I want, if this is the best the FBI has on Comey, we're in trouble.

01:16:24.780 That means nobody's done anything. If this is what you're like, we can get him on this. What

01:16:31.100 do you say? We try this one. We're in trouble. Okay. They haven't done Jack.

01:16:36.340 this could be a, a attorney general that, or a guy who's acting as attorney general and wants the job

01:16:45.220 saying, oh, I'm going to, I'm going to throw everything at them. I'll throw every, and I'm

01:16:51.060 for throwing everything at them and seeing what sticks, but I wouldn't have started with this.

01:16:56.600 I would have added this on top of all the other things. You know what I mean? I wouldn't have

01:17:00.560 started with, and now we got you. Now we got the real heavy guns out. We're going to start with

01:17:06.060 seashells so that bothers me can i pose a theory yeah do you remember when they threw everything

01:17:13.620 at trump administration officials um and while they didn't get them on real crimes they got

01:17:19.880 them on some easy things and they got people to talk and and squirm brennan is under investigation

01:17:26.080 right now do you think it's possible they're using this as a way to get comey to talk and

01:17:32.700 pit him against Brennan I don't think Brennan I mean I don't think there's a a true legal scholar

01:17:41.960 that would look at this and say I don't know that's real trouble I think there's a legal

01:17:48.540 there are legal scholars out there that might go I don't know you can give it a whirl but there's

01:17:53.180 nobody that says that's trouble and you're not going to get anybody to flip unless they think

01:17:57.160 you're serious i've got you that's that's the difference between this and what happened with

01:18:02.480 fauci yesterday explain what happened with fauci's cohort yesterday a fact uh fauci's right-hand man

01:18:08.900 basically was was it looks like he's caught red-handed in his in his foia communications

01:18:13.600 saying that you know basically doing exactly what they need to do looking like they need to do exactly

01:18:20.960 what they need to do to avoid any kind of scrutiny or get around for you so whatever we want to talk

01:18:26.580 about that you know it could be damaging to our narrative we got ways to talk about it to get

01:18:33.200 around so that one is that one to me is oh i'm coming for you the federal government has you

01:18:40.460 saying these things that would scare the living bat crap out of me um the if i'm james comey and 0.99

01:18:47.600 i see the seashell thing i like okay go ahead go ahead it's going to make my life a pain in the ass 0.99

01:18:52.580 but I'm not going to prison on that. If I'm, if I am Fauci's number two guy, I look at that and go, 0.97

01:18:57.980 I could be going to jail for a very long time. And they're going after him because they're saying to

01:19:03.920 him, I can guarantee you, they're saying to him, we have you dead to rights. You're going away

01:19:10.400 for a very, very long time. Now there is something we can do to lessen that. You could start giving

01:19:18.100 us more dirt on people you can give us access to these things because you obviously know how the

01:19:26.040 whole thing they're trying to get him to flip i can't imagine i i'm sure they would want to get

01:19:31.780 um comey to flip um but i don't think they're going to get him to flip especially on this

01:19:37.800 now let me let me add one more story into the mix jason what happened yesterday in minnesota

01:19:45.640 So they had about 20 plus raids, you know, pertaining to the leering center type organizations.

01:19:55.340 That's just not the perfect thing to the leering or leering.

01:19:59.260 Okay.

01:20:00.020 But yeah, it seems to be the start of this anti-fraud task force actually getting down and doing something about it.

01:20:06.900 That is really good.

01:20:09.400 And that's led by this new attorney general as well.

01:20:12.800 um i'm i'm telling you i could be wrong on this but if i'm president trump look at what he did

01:20:19.460 as soon as this war started hey marco you come on over with me we're working on the war thing

01:20:25.460 okay you be the guy who's working on the war thing with me if it works it's going to be good

01:20:31.560 for you at the same time we know that there's a split and people are not going to i think this

01:20:36.900 shows how, how smart Donald Trump is. Um, at the same time, we know there's going to be a split

01:20:43.500 in MAGA. I don't understand it. I don't get it, but there's a split in MAGA. So JD, I know you

01:20:50.320 have some concerns about it. I'm not going to throw you under the bus. I want you to express

01:20:55.580 your concerns. Keep it nice. Otherwise you're a fat loser, but you go ahead and express those

01:21:02.720 concerns. I'm not going to drag you into this, um, in case it goes poorly, but here's what I want to 0.99

01:21:08.680 do. I'm going to give you a, I'm going to give you a real task force because when it comes to the

01:21:15.960 election, people will forget a lot of things they will forget and they will forgive. They will not

01:21:21.680 forgive you for not paying attention to them. If they feel this administration has abandoned them

01:21:27.960 and is no longer responding to them it's just all about it's just all about oil and the gas and all

01:21:33.420 of this stuff they are not going to have any patience for it at all donald trump has taken

01:21:39.160 and and said to jd vance go get the fraud go get them in minnesota more importantly go get it in

01:21:47.080 california you get that fraud and you start nailing that you start putting people away a you're gonna

01:21:54.420 start feeling good about the government's doing stuff and putting bad guys away you're also going

01:21:58.460 to go hey thank god somebody is looking out for the little guy and not giving all of our money away

01:22:02.920 to all these fraudsters and you're the guy who's doing it is going to be running for president of

01:22:09.540 the united states it's a brilliant move i think that's what he's doing so fraud in minnesota

01:22:15.720 great move from our assistant attorney general acting attorney general yesterday the comey thing

01:22:21.260 let's just watch to see if they have anything else. And the other FCC, we just covered that

01:22:28.960 and told you exactly what has to happen there. I think that clears all of this up and lets people

01:22:36.760 who are MAGA, people who believe in Donald Trump, keep their values, keep their principles,

01:22:43.120 not be somebody who's out for blood and just headhunting, but demanding actual justice using

01:22:48.960 actual law. I think yesterday was a win. All right, more in just a second. Let me tell you

01:22:55.180 about American financing. Some people get sideswiped in life. Medical bill, you never

01:22:59.240 saw that one coming. Or a job change. Changes everything in life. You thought you understood

01:23:04.860 your finances, and then it's completely upside down. Higher prices are like that. COVID was

01:23:10.240 like that. Gas prices are like that. And you're in a position where your credit cards become that

01:23:14.740 bridge between paychecks. And those are high interest rates and they're not forgiving.

01:23:19.700 I don't know if you know this. I don't think there's a lot of good people that work in the

01:23:22.860 in the credit card industry. You know what I'm saying? I don't think they actually care about

01:23:27.680 you. This is why I wanted to tell you about American financing because they do care.

01:23:31.740 If you're a homeowner, you have options to consolidate your high interest debt,

01:23:35.620 lower your monthly payments, or put your home equity to work in a smarter way without

01:23:40.700 resetting your low mortgage rate. This is the one thing I want you to call them and ask them.

01:23:45.820 I've got a great rate on my mortgage. I don't want to reset that, but I've got these high

01:23:50.120 interest. How can I keep my low interest rate and fix this with my credit cards? Call American

01:24:36.640 um warning you are in a vomit zone

01:30:13.400 All the way through

01:30:15.000 I want to show you how you count your blessings

01:30:18.000 Instead of sheep

01:30:19.080 You want to sleep at night? Count your blessings instead of sheep

01:30:22.240 First blessing 1.00

01:30:23.460 You don't live in India 0.80

01:30:24.560 Now maybe you like curry, I don't know 1.00

01:30:29.460 But you don't live in India 0.95

01:30:31.300 and I'm just going to leave it at that. 1.00

01:30:36.520 You might have a bad day, but it's not this bad.

01:30:41.180 50-year-old guy walks into the bank

01:30:43.660 and he's arguing with the banker, the teller.

01:30:54.960 He'd been trying to take out 20,000 rupees.

01:30:58.500 Now, 20,000 rupees might sound like a lot.

01:31:00.900 it's $211. And he's trying to withdraw it from his sister's account. And he has authorization

01:31:09.220 to do that, but not unless his sister shows up. And he's like, yeah, but my sister is dead.

01:31:17.340 She just died last January. And they're like, yeah, well, she needs to come in and help. And

01:31:23.760 he's like, she's dead. She can't come in. She's dead. Well, I can't do anything until she comes 0.67

01:31:30.800 in and she's dead. She can't come in. I'm sorry, sir. $211. We can't close the account. We can't 1.00

01:31:39.960 give you that money. You know, I mean, if she would like to come in herself with you, that was

01:31:44.140 fine. Now you've had bad days, right? You've had bad days. Has your day ever been this bad?

01:31:53.380 he leaves the bank and he's like you want my sister to show up fine he goes to the cemetery

01:32:01.200 and he digs her up he takes her out of the box it's just bones he wraps her up in like you know

01:32:11.180 i don't a blanket or something walks back into the bank with her bones and says here's my sister 0.93

01:32:20.060 I want my $211.

01:32:26.420 So if you think you're having a bad day, just remember this.

01:32:31.100 You never had to dig up your sister to go to the bank to get $211.

01:32:35.400 So you got that going for you. 1.00

01:32:36.900 And again, I remind you, you're not living in India. 0.93

01:32:40.340 Although it might feel like that at times. 0.95

01:32:45.540 Let me take you to America's coming India.

01:32:50.060 california california there are now new revelations about the estimated cost of the

01:33:00.560 fantasy train welcome to fantasy train now what was this supposed to cause you know ricky what

01:33:07.940 was this supposed it was supposed to be like 50 billion dollars to start with something like that

01:33:11.620 and then it was 100 billion okay um and it was supposed to take just a couple of years it's still

01:33:17.400 going now the price tag is 231 billion dollars they have been saying scrap this whole thing

01:33:30.380 scrap it but california just keeps digging how much was it uh 2008 33 billion 33 billion what

01:33:40.160 a deal now 200 billion dollars over 200 billion dollars over and uh it's still not running still

01:33:50.820 not running and by the way it goes from nowhere to nowhere so i mean if you ever you're like man

01:33:55.860 i wish i could get to nowhere get on that plane i mean you know it's a ghost now but you can think

01:34:02.820 about someday getting on that train to go nowhere. And somehow or another, the taxpayers just keep

01:34:11.200 doing it. They just keep going, you know what? That's not so bad. That's not so bad. How about

01:34:15.980 this one? This, according to Brooke Rollins, Brooke Rollins said, she's looking into SNAP

01:34:24.340 recipients, okay? They are scamming the system in one state. Does she identify the state? She

01:34:33.940 doesn't. She doesn't identify the state yet. Do you have it? Okay, find it. In one state,

01:34:42.760 14,000 people receiving SNAP benefits. Now, remember, what's SNAP? SNAP is something that

01:34:51.000 Cloward and Piven, the snap is something that Joe Biden and everybody else said we have to give

01:34:56.280 because people are so poor and they can't afford anything and we've got to feed them. And anytime

01:35:00.860 you say, no, no, no, no, no, no, you're called a hater because you just want to starve people.

01:35:07.860 And you're like, no, I don't want to starve people. I want people who are actually hungry.

01:35:11.140 I want to help those people. I want to help feed children. I don't want to feed ghost children on

01:35:18.140 a ghost train from Minnesota to California. I want to feed actual children. I want to help

01:35:24.360 actual people who are really struggling to eat. One state, 14,000 individuals been getting SNAP

01:35:32.460 benefits, are driving luxury vehicles, including 2,098 Teslas, 306 Land Rovers, 244 Alphas,

01:35:47.200 141 Porsches

01:35:50.560 59 Maseratis

01:35:53.460 11 Lamborghinis

01:35:56.660 3 Ferraris

01:35:58.980 and 3 Bentleys

01:36:00.760 they're on snap

01:36:03.460 so

01:36:05.640 she has intentionally not disclosed the state

01:36:09.420 and I bet it's because

01:36:11.840 that state is in big, big trouble

01:36:14.720 but I'll give you two guesses

01:36:17.040 Minnesota, California.

01:36:18.420 Right.

01:36:18.900 It's probably not Florida or Texas.

01:36:20.540 Yeah, it's not.

01:36:21.340 It's not.

01:36:21.900 Do we have any idea?

01:36:23.540 No.

01:36:24.940 I'm telling you, I hope, I really, you want to have credibility.

01:36:31.020 Brooke, you want to have credibility.

01:36:32.920 Make sure you go after a red state as well.

01:36:37.320 Go after a red state. 0.99

01:36:39.100 Make sure that you are looking at red states and blue states, because I want their asses 1.00

01:36:44.800 in prison as well. 0.98

01:36:46.060 I want any politician who is stealing from the American people, is there anything, yeah,

01:36:53.300 yeah, there is, stealing from a church, going in and taking the tithing money and stealing that,

01:36:59.560 because then you're messing with God as well. Is there anything worse than taking money away

01:37:05.640 from people who are struggling every day to pay their taxes, doing the right thing, paying their

01:37:13.520 taxes, not looking for shortcuts, not trying to get out of it, not trying to scam anybody.

01:37:18.120 They're actually working hard every day and paying their taxes and you steal from them.

01:37:26.860 I got to tell you, this is the winning angle on the election. This is 2028. If J.D. Vance

01:37:37.220 and his group or the MAGA group can actually expose all of this

01:37:44.640 and begin to put people in jail.

01:37:48.280 It's an estimated, an early estimation of $2 trillion

01:37:55.000 over the four years of 2018 to 2022.

01:38:00.200 I'm sorry, $2 trillion.

01:38:04.020 $2 trillion.

01:38:07.220 that's 5% of our national debt over four years can you imagine what happened between 2022 and

01:38:15.420 2026 you think it got better oh man I I gotta tell you I gotta tell you I gotta tell you sorry

01:38:28.280 I can't give you your snap payment unless your sister shows up oh I'll dig my sister up for

01:38:33.120 this one yeah you put these people in jail oh i'll dig them up i'll come with the bones on this one

01:38:38.480 and i don't think i'm alone in that i think i mean i've just had enough and i don't understand

01:38:45.340 californians what is wrong with you seriously what is wrong with you i'm really i want to know

01:38:52.720 i'm begging you i'm not i'm not trying to point fingers i'm not pointing and laughing i'm not 1.00

01:38:56.420 accusing i'm just i'm seriously begging for information do you have a mental illness 0.95

01:39:02.140 is it is it the weather is it the weather is the weather just so good you're like i don't care if 0.94

01:39:08.820 they could set my children on fire i don't care it's 75 today i can keep the windows open there's

01:39:13.620 no bugs is that what it is because i don't and that doesn't and and if that is what it is 0.65

01:39:19.940 illinois what the hell is wrong with you because you can never open the windows there

01:39:26.800 i mean what is happening what is happening okay so the latest and this comes from blaze news

01:39:37.000 the spLC remember they were they were we've got some informants on the inside we have some inside

01:39:45.660 we have some inside before we have clans yeah okay they're clansmen but they don't want to be

01:39:49.380 they don't want to be clansmen but they are clansmen yeah but they're going to help us

01:39:54.860 you know okay okay apparently uh apparently the one that they were bankrolling one of the

01:40:03.640 organizers you know of the rally in charlottesville um he he was a true he was a true believer he was

01:40:14.780 like i don't know about you but i love wizards and dragons uh and if i can dress up as a grand

01:40:21.100 dragon or wizard i'm i'm i'm all in congratulations on that one i can't wait until i mean here's the

01:40:30.520 good news all of this stuff is falling apart we need more time we need a lot more time if we don't

01:40:37.380 win can you white pill me a little bit on this one jason on the election because it looks like now

01:40:43.980 everything that the media is saying at least at this point at this point it looks like the

01:40:49.680 Republicans are not in as much trouble as they thought they were or we thought they were.

01:40:53.700 Well, if you're if you're just looking at like the redistricting battle right now, Republicans, the GOP, appear to be winning every single one of those battles.

01:41:03.540 So we just won today Louisiana.

01:41:07.300 We are looks like we've won Texas.

01:41:09.840 It looks like Virginia is going in Republicans way.

01:41:13.100 And Florida looks like I mean, if and I showed you that map the other day that I don't think you can find a.

01:41:19.680 redder color than Florida.

01:41:22.120 Honestly, I thought that

01:41:23.660 the only blue spot on the map may

01:41:25.840 be Lake Okeechobee. It may be

01:41:27.840 the only thing is a blue lake

01:41:29.980 in the middle of it. And a lake is even giving

01:41:31.920 it way more justice than it deserves.

01:41:33.800 This is like a fishing pond in someone's backyard.

01:41:36.100 It's crazy. It's wild.

01:41:37.820 Was that a joke or is that real?

01:41:39.780 That's legit. If this goes through,

01:41:41.960 this proposed map from DeSantis goes through,

01:41:43.860 that's what it's going to look like.

01:41:45.740 So, it looks good

01:41:47.480 going towards the midterms i've looked at a few other people that say prediction markets are kind

01:41:52.320 of staying away from a lot of the hoopla and emotion you know i have to tell you another

01:41:56.820 reason we must have the election we must have the presidential election is because of the census

01:42:05.680 that comes out 2010 obama had it 2020 it was biden that did all of this stuff 2030 it's got

01:42:16.640 to be a republican because that's that's how they're that's how they're getting all of the

01:42:20.840 money to go to these states that are pissing it away just pissing it all away yeah i will say that

01:42:27.840 the the gop is not doing themselves any favor because it's still early but they're still not

01:42:31.180 doing any favors by just showing how and how they're in not able to do any kind of action

01:42:36.280 through congress have you seen what's going on with the farm bill right now a lot of insiders

01:42:39.620 have talked about that uh no i have not sorry this is from anna paulina luna she she uh just

01:42:46.160 tweeted this i think last night but she said we are happy to report that one of my amendments

01:42:49.480 removing pesticide liability will get a vote on the house floor as part of the farm bill however

01:42:54.280 the rules committee is pairing the farm bill along with fisa and reconciliation under something

01:43:01.400 called a rule i mean i don't it feels like their hands are tied what they're doing is what they're

01:43:08.280 doing is they are you know they know the farm bill has to pass they know the farm bill has to pass

01:43:14.700 They can't lose that Farm Bill.

01:43:16.500 And so they're taking FISA and trying to wrap that into anything that they know has to pass.

01:43:21.900 What about Save America Act?

01:43:24.200 Why isn't that in there?

01:43:25.440 Yeah.

01:43:25.980 Why aren't we doing that with the Farm Bill? 0.57

01:43:29.720 Why, Republicans?

01:43:32.360 I'd like to know anything at all about the Save America Act.

01:43:36.700 Anything at all.

01:43:37.820 I got news for you.

01:43:38.560 The guy, you know the guy's sister in the blanket was just Bones?

01:43:43.520 Probably more active than you are in Congress.

01:43:48.580 All right, more in just a second.

01:43:51.680 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:43:54.280 It's Patriot Mobile.

01:43:55.400 There are plenty of bills in your life that you pay because you have to.

01:43:58.240 Taxes, insurance, fees, nobody can explain.

01:44:00.860 Little charges that show up on a statement that, you know, were added by gremlins in the night, it seems.

01:44:05.780 But your mobile service doesn't have to be one of those things.

01:44:07.980 you just tolerate because, you know, you're going to pay that monthly bill, but why send that money

01:44:12.860 to a big wireless company that uses it to support causes you don't believe in? Patriot Mobile is

01:44:18.700 different. America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company. Dependable coverage on all

01:44:23.800 three major networks. So you keep the service, you just don't sacrifice the quality. And the

01:44:29.100 difference is where your money goes. With Patriot Mobile, you're supporting a company that stands

01:44:33.580 for free speech, the Second Amendment, the sanctity of life, our veterans, the values that

01:44:37.960 other companies are eager to mock, and they work hard to keep their pricing low and competitive,

01:44:43.760 so you're saving money. I want you to go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck, PatriotMobile.com

01:44:49.840 slash Beck, or call 972-PATRIOT, use the promo code Beck, get a free month of service,

01:44:54.980 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck, 972-PATRIOT. 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:45:03.580 ricky just said i have to make a clarification on brooke world she's not in a blanket 0.97

01:45:13.780 definitely identify with that indian man and i'd like some curry now please um she said she didn't

01:45:21.860 identify the state but she did say it was a red state now the reason for that is that the blue

01:45:27.740 states have been refusing to give enough data to compile reports like this so most of this

01:45:33.020 information is coming from a red state but if i had to guess it's not mississippi i think we'd

01:45:38.560 notice a bunch of lamborghinis no offense to mississippi who do you think it is might be texas

01:45:45.180 could be i mean our population and our infusion of immigrants and quite honestly our infusion of

01:45:52.560 our major cities of leftists oh there's there's we have a lot of cities that are super blue god

01:45:58.300 help us in the midterms by the way uh speaking of this have you guys seen the grand opening the

01:46:02.600 the announcement we you know the shovel thing that we did at the museum it's on glennbeck.com

01:46:07.980 right now okay so we did last week we announced that mercury one and american journey experience

01:46:14.300 is opening it and i give you a sneak peek into it on what it's going to be we're going to completely

01:46:20.860 reinvent the museum experience and it is i am i am more excited about this than anything i've

01:46:26.640 ever done in my life can you give us a tease don't give us timelines it is going to be

01:46:32.300 the timeline is extraordinarily short okay um some things have happened that have just fallen

01:46:37.780 into place i was telling jason about earlier today some things that i've been working on for

01:46:42.400 literally 10 12 years and could not get anything to happen all of a sudden went boom boom boom boom

01:46:49.760 boom everything fell into place and they came to me like glenn you'll never guess who just called

01:46:53.880 us wants to help and it's the person that i've been trying to get for 12 years we're going to

01:50:48.080 actually washington dc the supreme court and the fed is like a box of chocolates but they're usually

01:50:55.020 moldy old been up in the attic and they all suck when you bite into them uh but we'll see this guy

01:51:02.140 might be different can you give me a little bit on him jason i so um kevin warsh he's uh he we know

01:51:09.520 he's a registered republican uh that doesn't say much yeah right um some of his uh his views have

01:51:15.540 been characterized as a skeptic of excessive fed intervention in markets how you feeling on that

01:51:21.640 i like that emphasis on fighting inflation hawkish leanings and criticism of mission

01:51:28.980 creep at the central bank i tell you what all three of those if he actually means it yeah and

01:51:34.820 we'll back it up not like you know i'm kind of skeptical about that but let's do it anyway

01:51:38.460 i mean outside of saying you know i'm coming in i'm shutting the whole fed experiment down

01:51:45.680 it'd be great not bad not bad it'd be great i mean look at this is i mean why aren't we dreaming big

01:51:52.280 I mean, Donald Trump dreams big.

01:51:54.240 He dreams big.

01:51:56.700 Why aren't we dreaming big like that?

01:51:58.840 I want the next president now.

01:52:00.740 I want JD or Marco or somebody else.

01:52:03.740 I want somebody else to come in and say, these are the big things that we're going to do.

01:52:09.460 Donald Trump has given us a chance because he's at least thinking big.

01:52:14.160 He's not eating around the edges.

01:52:16.840 But now we need somebody who is, we need a melee.

01:52:21.820 Oh.

01:52:22.740 Can you imagine if we had Javier Malay? 1.00

01:52:24.560 Oh. 0.98

01:52:25.620 Oh, why don't you like that?

01:52:26.560 Ricky's giving me a face like, I don't know.

01:52:28.820 I love the idea.

01:52:30.320 I just hate to get my hopes up that we ever would.

01:52:34.380 It would have to get so bad.

01:52:36.180 We would have to have inflation like they did in order for someone to be able to come in and do change in our work.

01:52:41.700 It will be.

01:52:42.640 It will be.

01:52:44.060 I love your optimism.

01:52:45.000 You know, on the ideas, that's something that's been vacant for so long within the GOP.

01:52:51.400 Usually we get, you know, no new taxes or less spending, and then when they get in, you see none of that.

01:52:57.640 That's very common.

01:52:58.540 But those are the only big ideas.

01:53:00.240 This is the only time when you look at foreign policy, geopolitics, everything, it has been a new idea.

01:53:05.660 And that's when they usually come and attack you the most.

01:53:07.880 So I have a big idea.

01:53:08.820 And it's not like a moonshot, but I think it's imperative.

01:53:15.000 i think you know the tax pledge the newt gingrich tax pledge oh you don't remember that

01:53:22.120 um when um this one for the gop you had to say no no taxes no taxes and then they came in and

01:53:29.200 under newt gingrich they cut taxes and they did a lot okay they had to take this pledge

01:53:33.300 um i think we need a new pledge no sharia law i think every single politician needs to be asked

01:53:42.180 will you ban sharia law in the united states ban sharia law um that is a really you know not you

01:53:51.120 know it's again it's not a moonshot it's not like oh my gosh that's so creative but it's imperative

01:53:56.400 imperative if we can't get our side to say oh yeah i'll ban that i'll pass that we do have 65

01:54:05.300 members in the sharia free america caucus as of april 65 in washington yeah i mean there's like

01:54:13.980 400 something more to go but yeah but still 65 that's i think it's all because of you really

01:54:19.980 oh yeah probably it probably is that and they just they happen to know elon omar and they're

01:54:26.060 like you don't want world war 12 rolling around again uh by the way speaking of bad politicians

01:54:32.900 here's mom donnie here's cut one uh declaring now this is going to come as a surprise to you

01:54:38.600 new york is in a budget crisis listen new york city faces a budget crisis of a historic magnitude

01:54:46.720 we inherited a deficit larger than any since the great recession years of mismanagement and

01:54:53.080 chronic under budgeting wait stop stop stop since the great recession you've got like 400 years of

01:55:00.240 city behind you since the great recession oh well slow down on that one all right go ahead

01:55:05.720 cultural imbalance between what new york city sends to the state and what we receive in return

01:55:10.680 have taken a toll we cannot close this deficit with savings alone we need new revenue and we

01:55:17.660 need a structural reset in our relationship with the state i cannot that is the only way to meet

01:55:22.380 our legal obligation to pass a balanced budget and to do so without imposing a financial burden

01:55:28.640 onto the backs of working people i'm glad to partner with speaker men and as we call upon

01:55:33.600 albany and deliver a balanced budget we need more revenue well good news is you're opening a new

01:55:43.220 grocery store what does that mean we need new revenue when a politician says we need new revenue

01:55:51.480 it's not like when you're working at the s&p man okay what that means is we're going to tax people

01:55:57.720 when you want to tax people but you want the working class not to be taxed who do you tax

01:56:03.820 you tax the rich people but you've already taxed them so much and you've chased them out of your

01:56:10.880 city how are you going to get who's going to pay that told you told you it happens every time

01:56:18.100 socialism is neat until you run out of somebody else's money they're running out of money they're

01:56:22.520 running out of the rich people to destroy they're coming after you congratulations this actually

01:56:27.240 happened a lot faster than i thought it was going to usually lessons on socialism take decades he

01:56:32.500 is just in common there's no business sense in this guy at all you can't fake this did you hear

01:56:39.660 what his plan was to balance the budget uh i'd like to propose that we just don't uh pay the

01:56:48.040 pensions what that's not that's not a plan that's illegal i mean it's not a plan that was his actual

01:56:58.540 plan i thought he was the man of the people yeah i know okay yeah yeah well the people is on well

01:57:03.540 who was that one woman who was on the left that was mocking erica kirk for buying her dress at 0.98

01:57:10.680 the white house did you see this she was actually saying she's a big you know some big blogger or 0.99

01:57:16.220 something from the left, and she was mocking Erica Kirk and I think our second lady, Vance. 1.00

01:57:23.060 Pete Hegseth's wife. 1.00

01:57:24.420 Pete Hegseth's wife for wearing things that were not couture. 0.89

01:57:30.000 And it's like, are you, wait, what?

01:57:32.560 You're one of the people and you're having a problem that it was in a discount?

01:57:36.100 She actually said, that dress, Erica Kirk, that's in the discount rack at Saks Fifth Avenue.

01:57:43.020 Oh.

01:57:43.420 She bought a dress for the occasion. 0.91

01:57:46.460 That's all that occasion deserved.

01:57:48.180 Yeah, right.

01:57:48.960 But it wasn't like she bought it at even Target.

01:57:52.260 It was at the discount rack at Saks Fifth Avenue.

01:57:57.060 It's like, she's just wearing a t-shirt from Target.

01:58:00.640 Well, so what if she is?

01:58:02.360 You snob. 0.63

01:58:04.320 You absolute and total snob. 0.67

01:58:07.120 These people are such, they don't care.

01:58:09.480 They do not care about the working person.

01:58:12.240 they don't they care about the elites who is it i watched les miserables i know who is it that

01:58:20.200 always starts these revolutions when it goes to a marxist revolution who are the ones that do it

01:58:26.360 do you know the elites can you be any more specific on that the highly educated highly

01:58:33.960 educated elites the highly educated the youth that have grown up as an elite they go to college

01:58:42.960 they fill their head with all this marxism they're the ones it's not the poor people

01:58:48.260 it's the highly educated elites who are like you know what we've got to help we have to help all

01:58:54.500 these all these poor people i mean i don't want to touch them but we have to help them and then

01:58:59.980 they help themselves and all of those people are the first to suffer all the people that they say

01:59:05.980 they're trying to help they're the first ones to suffer we saw actually i think we had it in prep

01:59:10.960 yesterday there was a recent poll that showed that the more educated they were the more likely

01:59:15.960 they were to be okay with political violence of course does that make sense to you do you know why

01:59:21.720 i think i think this is because we used to be you go to go is it yale lux at lux at veritas

01:59:33.360 um light the truth um if you look at that logo that's the scriptures okay it's the scriptures

01:59:44.280 all of these universities used to teach from the scriptures and then they would teach other things

01:59:53.140 but the basis was the scriptures now you go into universities you're not learning universal truth

01:59:59.040 you're learning the philosophies of man and the philosophies of man are so rotted to the core now

02:00:05.340 because there's no universal truth there's no universal truth in science they've made it so

02:00:10.820 science is the exact opposite of faith and of God. God, if he exists, is the greatest scientist

02:00:19.360 ever. Look at how exact everything is. You may not want to believe in God, but tell me, how is it

02:00:29.200 you change by a tenth of a degree, you change the temperature of space and the entire thing

02:00:36.480 collapses that just happens to be that exact everything everything that you see is exact

02:00:45.540 explain the human brain you can't but you certainly will just say it just well we all started as

02:00:54.120 snakes and uh our brain just turned into what it that doesn't make any sense at all and so you're

02:01:00.840 not going you're you're there's no humility in it there is no eternal truth there's no real

02:01:06.960 questioning that maybe we could be wrong it's nothing but non-stop arrogance of course these

02:01:13.320 are the people that are the ones who are more likely to do revolution of course of course

02:01:19.680 by the way i want to uh let me take a quick break i want to show you what happened yesterday with

02:01:26.040 King Charles was at the White House, uh, and, and he spoke it in front of Congress. And, you know,

02:01:39.280 of course he said, it's the rule of law that keeps, you know, dictators from becoming dictators

02:01:45.620 and, and a balance of power. Really? Mr. King? Really? Uh, you know, we're the ones that,

02:01:55.460 we're the we're the ones that have the no kings march and you are actually wearing a crown and

02:02:00.460 you're going to lecture us about freedom at meanwhile as you are arresting 14 000 people

02:02:06.600 on free speech violations last year 14 000 people in the united kingdom uh okay please don't lecture

02:02:15.520 me on that uh but there there was some amazing things that happened donald trump i don't know

02:02:20.360 who wrote the speech, but it was fabulous what he said yesterday about the 250 and why it was

02:02:25.620 appropriate that the king was there. Well, we'll go into that here in just a second. First, let me

02:02:30.020 tell you about relief factor. Every day you get older, whether you like it or not. And then one

02:02:33.980 of the things that, you know, tends to come with getting older is aches and pains. Joints start to

02:02:39.800 wear down, old injuries jump back into life, and normal exercise of everyday living begins to catch

02:02:44.860 up with you. I told you exercise was bad for you, but all those years of walking and lifting and

02:02:51.160 bending and climbing and getting out of chairs, carrying groceries, doing responsible adult

02:02:56.000 things, that was never good for you. Your body will send you a bill. That's the bad news. The

02:03:01.600 good news is you don't have to just accept it. That's why I want to tell you about Relief Factor.

02:03:05.980 It's a daily drug-free supplement designed to help reduce or eliminate pain by addressing

02:03:10.020 inflammation, and over a million people have tried Relief Factor at this point, and two-thirds

02:03:14.240 of them have gone on to take more, and I'm one of them, year after year. This year, as we celebrate

02:03:18.440 250 years of freedom, are you living with the freedom you deserve from pain? Try the three-week

02:03:24.140 quick start today. See if it works for you. Relieffactor.com. Relieffactor.com, 800, the

02:03:29.880 number for relief. 800 for relief. Glenn Beck.

02:03:44.240 so the king of england was in town yesterday yippee um

02:04:02.500 uh and it made me happy and i'm gonna get to melania trump's butt pat here in just a second

02:04:09.660 But first, let me say, whoever wrote the speech for Donald Trump yesterday, when he's introducing the king, it was masterful.

02:04:20.940 I mean, it was masterful.

02:04:22.580 I want you to listen to this.

02:04:23.600 Cut three, please.

02:04:25.400 Honoring the British king might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence.

02:04:35.240 But in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate.

02:04:39.660 Long before Americans had a nation or a constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed.

02:04:48.520 Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts,

02:04:55.940 moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea.

02:05:02.560 For nearly two centuries before the revolution, this land was settled and forged by men,

02:05:07.800 women who bore in their souls the blood and noble spirit of the british here on a wild and untamed

02:05:16.460 continent they set loose the ancient english love of liberty and the great britain's distinctive

02:05:23.480 sense of glory destiny and pride and that's what it is glory destiny and pride

02:05:29.440 uh it was it was it was great um a an appropriate celebration for america's 250

02:05:40.180 uh unfortunately the king had to be there um but uh the other thing that i thought was great can we

02:05:45.520 show the picture of melania uh trump donald trump gave his little pat on her butt uh as they were 0.92

02:05:54.040 greeting the king and they're walking down uh and you know she's a good-looking woman she's a good

02:06:00.420 looking woman and uh they love each other and camilla has no hand anywhere near the king's

02:06:06.460 hands are like almost on donald trump's butt like i don't get near her um but anyway the one thing i

02:06:13.480 and this is such a i'm such a geek on this um do you know why do you know why babies uh girl babies 0.78

02:06:21.020 are dressed in pink and boy babies are dressed in blue do you know that jason it was the windsor

02:06:27.200 family it was it was prince charles or king charles family it used to be the opposite way

02:06:33.660 and the windsor family decided no no no um blue is for boys pink it used to be the pink was the

02:06:40.360 bold color um and they switched it when you tie a tie it's in a windsor knot the windsor family

02:06:46.980 okay the uh prince of wales checked suits you know what melania did yesterday as he shows up

02:06:54.460 as his fashion icon she shows up in the greatest american designer ever ralph lauren and she put 0.77

02:07:02.460 him to shame she wasn't wearing some foreign she was wearing ralph lauren

02:07:07.880 Thank you.
