Transcript
00:00:00.000
When you let aero truffle bubbles melt, everything takes on a creamy, delicious, chocolatey glow.
00:00:15.100
There's that moment when you're passing a tree line or a parked vehicle or a dimly lit corner.
00:00:19.820
And you feel like, is there somebody that's behind there?
00:00:29.260
Designed to disrupt a threat and create distance without using lethal force.
00:00:38.080
You prefer something smaller, more discreet for evening walks or daily carry.
00:00:41.680
The burner compact launcher is the same non-lethal protection in a lighter, easier to carry profile.
00:00:50.300
It's to walk a little more confidently when the sun goes down.
00:00:58.900
Try before you buy it at a sportsman's warehouse location near you.
00:01:08.860
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're
00:01:15.120
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:01:19.920
But to keep this fight going, we need you right now.
00:01:23.120
Would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?
00:01:26.280
Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:01:34.960
If this isn't a podcast, this is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.
00:01:39.900
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.
00:02:18.300
The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
00:02:55.380
Tell us what you were thinking this week, what the big story of the week was.
00:02:58.280
Maybe we missed something you need to tell us about, or you want a deeper understanding or explanation of whatever is happening in the news.
00:03:08.420
I want to run down some of the things that are happening in the news because there's a lot of crazy things.
00:03:12.420
By the way, the next presidential election has officially begun.
00:03:17.940
The Democrats have officially announced there's someone worse than Adolf Hitler, Donald Trump.
00:03:29.960
Actually, it's two people because we can't decide which one's going to be selected.
00:03:33.780
So we're more afraid of these two people than even Donald Trump.
00:03:47.160
Let me tell you about the charity that I started about 15 years ago.
00:03:58.300
You knew the widow who needed help with groceries.
1.00
00:04:01.100
And when people stepped up, it wasn't a tax write-off strategy.
00:04:04.600
It was because you were a neighbor helping neighbors and you knew you were going to need help at some point.
00:04:11.520
I mean, that's the selfish way to look at it, but it's true in a lot of ways.
00:04:15.980
But you also wanted to be there because it was your neighbor, your compassion.
00:04:19.880
And then somewhere along the way, charity became institutionalized and part of the government as well.
00:04:27.720
I really think that it is important for us to keep our heart really soft and be responsible for one another.
00:04:35.520
And that's why Mercury One was started, and that's why it matters.
00:04:39.400
We respond to disasters quickly, but we don't go in as some big national charity.
00:04:45.000
We look for the local trusted, the local leaders who are already there on the scene,
00:04:50.620
who are just like, I need help, I need help, I need help.
00:04:56.380
Okay, it's about restoring the heart of charity back to you and your community.
00:05:05.460
We would love for you to join us in this effort to empower people and bring back the real heart of charity.
00:05:14.920
Whatever we raise, 100%, every dollar that we raise.
00:05:20.000
When I say, hey, we're going in for this disaster, 100% of the money goes to that disaster.
00:05:38.600
But anyway, $15 a month and you can really help out.
00:05:43.480
And your gift will ensure that we have meal kits and hygiene packages and everything for the operations
00:05:49.200
that we can get it on a plane and get it to wherever it needs to be here in the country.
00:05:53.000
Stay ready, stay prepared, and keep your heart open to others in need.
00:06:15.580
He just did an interview where he said, you know who scares me more than Donald Trump?
00:06:24.380
But I don't know who scares you more than Donald Trump.
00:06:26.880
You've spent what seems a lifetime now saying he's the scariest thing out there.
00:06:33.380
And I told you, because remember, Ronald Reagan was a Nazi.
00:06:49.540
Oh, and a car and a dog torturer who would just strap animals to the top of station wagons.
0.98
00:06:56.880
And then Donald Trump, he was Hitler's Hitler, okay?
00:07:02.040
He was the guy that Hitler was afraid he might become someday.
0.85
00:07:07.640
Now that we're coming towards the next presidential election, we have to have somebody worse than Donald Trump.
00:07:16.380
So Gavin Newsom, and I just, this is one of my favorite quotes.
00:07:20.940
There are some people waiting in the wings in the MAGA world who would love to be the chosen ones of the Trump orbit.
00:07:33.920
You know, for whatever reason, Vance scares me.
00:07:45.640
I mean, talk about a guy who put a mask on and his face grew into it.
00:07:52.580
This is Gavin Newsom talking about how J.D. Vance is wearing a mask.
00:07:58.860
And when I hear Gavin Newsom, when I read that today, honestly, this is how it sounded in my head.
00:08:06.080
Coming from Gavin Newsom, it sounded like this.
00:08:09.060
I got to tell you, I got to tell you, he scares me more than Trump.
00:08:13.720
I mean, talk about a guy who put a mask on and his face just grew into it.
00:08:48.920
Because apparently everybody's as dumb as Gavin Newsom.
00:08:59.320
And if that guy's Hitler, where do you go scarier than Hitler?
0.87
00:09:06.040
Just say, you know, like the German cannibal.
0.85
00:09:08.180
I think J.D. Vance is like that German cannibal that was eating people.
1.00
00:09:17.740
And I don't want to be hyperbolic about any of this.
00:09:24.480
Well, thank you for keeping the hyperbole out of it.
00:09:30.820
By the way, Jason, can I bring you in here for a second?
00:09:34.980
Trump said about 10 days ago that Iran would have about 10 or 15 days before we would have
00:09:44.940
Do we have any, you know, I don't know, America 250, Freedom 250 events planned over
00:09:54.700
Any firework shows happening in Iran this weekend?
00:10:05.700
We are getting a lot of signs that we could be seeing some fireworks displays.
00:10:10.040
You always look at some of the embassies that are around there and see what happens.
00:10:14.080
The embassy in Lebanon, the U.S. said that non-emergency personnel should get out of there.
00:10:19.760
China is now evacuating their people out of Iran.
00:10:23.620
Canadians are just announced they're having their people leave Iran.
00:10:29.260
The U.S. State Department just said for non-emergency personnel to leave Israel.
00:10:38.820
Yeah, it's not trending well for the Iranian regime right now.
00:10:46.180
So, J.D. Vance came out and said, we're not going to get into a long protracted war in Iran.
00:10:57.240
It is not our intention to get into a long, you know, protracted.
00:11:10.160
But, I mean, you know, once you open a can of whoop ass, it's hard to get the ass back into the whoop and put the can back together.
00:11:25.220
But, I mean, it's like saying, you know, FDR going and saying, look, we're not going to get into a long, we're just going to go over and kick Hitler's ass and then come back and then we'll just elect a bunch of Republican presidents or just like Hitler.
0.64
00:11:38.640
You know, you know, you just don't know how it's going to go.
00:11:41.800
And it concerns me because, you know, Iran is not, they're not good.
1.00
00:11:53.720
You know, and they got a lot of assets all around the world, I think, including here in America.
00:12:01.180
Yeah, well, and that's probably one of the biggest things that we should worry about is asymmetrically what the Iranian regime is going to do because that will be their main, I guess, point of attack on us to see if they can pull that off.
0.92
00:12:12.760
So that's whatever sleeper cells they have in both South America and within our own country.
00:12:16.600
But not only that, but cells within our close to military bases all over the Middle East.
00:12:23.880
You also got to look at the big one, shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, which has always been their major trump card.
00:12:30.040
And they've already signaled that they plan on doing that while talks were going on in Iman a couple of weeks ago or a week ago.
00:12:37.580
They actually did military drills where they shut down briefly the Strait of Hormuz.
00:12:45.660
But when you talk about a long, protracted war, I would like to know the definition of long in today's modern warfare.
00:12:59.240
It's going to take them a while to get air superiority, I think.
00:13:04.220
After Venezuela, I don't even know what our capabilities are as of now.
00:13:07.560
But fully expect the big guns to come out, like cyber warfare, all of that.
00:13:14.100
Donald Trump, the one thing is, I mean, the one reason why I think J.D. Vance could possibly get away with saying that is because he knows possibly what we don't know.
00:13:28.920
After Venezuela, I would be shocked if we can't have air superiority minute one.
00:13:35.880
The minute we cross the airspace, if any of their planes can actually get up off the ground would shock me.
00:13:47.920
Nobody knows really what happened in Venezuela.
00:13:53.360
Never seen a country be able to do that before.
00:14:07.880
I mean, our withdrawal from Afghanistan was perfectly reasonable.
1.00
00:14:17.840
Okay, we went from that four years ago to, what the hell just happened in Venezuela?
00:14:25.340
And China and Russia and everybody's like, what the hell is going on?
00:14:36.880
By the way, we're going to take your phone calls here in a second.
00:14:41.800
What was going through J.D. Vance's mind when the Democrats lost it at the State of the Union?
00:14:50.580
I had one thought in my head the whole time, which is, don't make a stupid face for two hours, which is hard for me.
00:15:00.680
Can you imagine the pressure of sitting behind the president and not making a face?
00:15:07.280
Because, I mean, you're sitting there literally for two hours.
00:15:09.980
There's got to be times when you're like not thinking about stuff and you're like, I got an itch on the inside of my nose.
00:15:18.660
I mean, it's got to be really difficult, got to be really difficult, especially with that, which, I mean, he did such a good job at that.
00:15:26.880
I don't remember even seeing any expressions on his face or what's his face from the Speaker of the House.
00:15:33.700
I don't remember seeing an expression from either one of them, which says an awful lot because I remember seeing Nancy Pelosi sitting behind him and rolling her eyes and everything else.
00:15:44.440
There was no, there's no memory of what they did.
00:15:47.040
But they allowed Donald Trump to do, I mean, that was such, Stephen Miller was responsible for that, wasn't he, Ricky?
00:16:01.980
I mean, that just seems like Stephen Miller because that thing was so well executed.
00:16:09.460
He just set them up and they walked right into the trap.
00:16:15.280
When he asked that question, you know, to stand up, stand up.
00:16:18.520
If you agree with this, he didn't, he didn't say, you know, you have to agree.
0.65
00:16:30.760
If you believe that the government of the U S serves U S citizens over illegal aliens.
0.69
00:16:43.080
He just stood back, smiled and gestured like, look, America, look, he did that twice smiling.
00:16:57.860
And Jeannie fans had to be sitting there going, don't, don't, don't look.

00:17:16.520
First, let me talk to you a little bit about American giant.
00:17:18.480
When you were a kid and your grandfather was teaching you how to do things, you know, what
00:17:24.940
I'm betting it's something along the lines of Glenn, if it's worth doing, it's worth doing
00:17:34.580
Cause I don't think this is worth doing, but it turns out it was.
00:17:37.600
And you know, he had a way of looking at life and you and work measure twice, you know,
00:17:48.060
All of these things, uh, used to define who we are and define what we used to make in
00:17:55.040
When things were still made here, they were built with the assumption that they'd last,
00:18:00.920
The first time somebody's reputation was attached to every stitch, every seam, every
00:18:09.000
They make their clothing right here in the United States, working with skilled American
00:18:12.640
labor and supply chains that are not halfway around the world.
00:18:15.780
Their hoodies, their tees, their sweats built for durability, everything from the thread
00:18:21.140
to the zippers come from someplace here in America.

00:18:57.780
Download the songs and submit your audition at Glenn Beck.com slash contest.
00:19:02.600
Boy, we have some really good contestants that it's going to be hard to choose.
00:19:10.440
I have a feeling this is going to be close for this.
00:19:13.080
Next week, we close as of next Friday, we close off the, um, the submission.
00:19:18.560
So if you are a singer and you want to sing on Ellis Island, um, at a really special event,
00:19:25.660
I, you know what I'm really surprised at the number of really good singers that sing in French
00:19:32.200
and are knocking that song out of the park, that is really a hard song to do.
00:19:38.300
Um, and, uh, but we need, we need guys, guys, male singers.
00:19:45.860
Um, we have some great contestants, but we could use some more.
00:19:49.700
So if you know anybody that is a singer, um, just go to Glenn Beck.com slash contest.
00:19:56.140
And if you don't do it, Glenn's going to have to sing.
00:20:04.320
Uh, but, uh, please, uh, join us if you, if, especially if you're a male singer, but we
00:20:10.720
The contest closes next Friday and then we go into judging and the insiders are going to,
00:20:16.000
you know, make the, uh, make the call, make the judgment.
00:20:19.380
Um, and it is, um, at glennbeck.com slash contest.
00:20:36.320
I signed up the very first day and, uh, as I told you, screener, I own a, I own a company
00:20:42.760
We, we actually do the assembly of electronic assemblies and people don't realize how small
00:20:48.400
the components are inside of your phones and everything else.
00:20:51.720
Parts of these phones are one millimeter by a half a millimeter, and they have to be
00:20:56.620
placed within one micron of accuracy on a board and soldered down.
00:21:00.420
You know, you can have all the microchips in the world, but if you don't know how to put
00:21:07.660
And what we do, this, what I do has been outsourced for 40 years in this country.
00:21:13.180
There's less than 50,000 employees that do what I do in this country.
00:21:26.620
Honestly, I'm surprised that's still done by hand.
00:21:34.860
The machinery, each, the machine that places that part on a board costs a half a million
00:21:39.800
dollars, but you have to train somebody how to program that machine and you can't train
00:21:46.640
It takes me six to eight months to train an employee.
00:21:54.080
Well, we've, we've got a lot of retraining to do.
00:21:59.720
And what the seriousness is we have companies that when Donald Trump announced that he was
00:22:04.180
going to bring the manufacturing back, our website got shut down three times in one day
00:22:09.040
and 90% of the companies that called us, they said, well, we can't get our information out
00:22:14.880
Well, no, you're not going to get your information out of China because the information that I
00:22:22.120
The source codes, everything else that's needed to build it, bring circuit assembly.
00:22:27.100
And no, and none of the politicians, you know, I'll get them walking into my facility
00:22:32.480
You know, their hands are out and it's like, go away.
00:22:39.700
You, if I see a microchip, I can pick up a circuit board, a print circuit board finished.
00:22:49.840
Well, I have found, Bob, that politicians, generally speaking, have no idea what they're
00:22:59.960
Uh, and that's, and that's a real problem because most of them are lawyers, you know?
00:23:04.600
And honestly, what has a lawyer created in, in life except paperwork and, uh, and time
00:23:14.380
I mean, you know, you, we need, and that's why I think Donald Trump is, is killing it,
00:23:19.700
uh, in the areas that he is because he understands business.
00:23:27.180
Uh, and your phone call next, uh, the, uh, international fellowship of Christians and
00:23:31.480
I've worked with these guys for a very long time.
00:23:33.500
The Jewish people have often had to pick up, you know, their history and put it in a
00:23:37.680
suitcase, you know, a few photographs, a menorah, maybe a candlestick or two, you know, the
00:23:42.920
things that you can carry when you don't know if you're ever going to come home and see home
00:23:46.100
again from Europe to the Middle East to North Africa, generations have been forced to leave
00:23:50.700
behind property and businesses and neighborhoods, sometimes overnight because hatred or war made
00:24:00.000
Survival has become a skill, but even today, Jewish families still face it.
1.00
00:24:03.500
Face threats and vulnerable people, especially the elderly and children need practical help,
00:24:11.500
I think we have purchased bulletproof glass, bombproof glass for some of the schools in France,
00:24:19.800
They also provide food and shelter and security and life-saving support to Jewish people in Israel
00:24:26.040
They help families rebuild when conflict erupts.
00:24:30.720
It's a group of Christians and Jews working together.
00:24:45.940
Last day to get in our special offer for founding members.
00:25:22.100
I just want to remind Texans, today is your last day of early voting.
00:25:28.960
And if you will, please vote yes on Proposition 10.
00:25:33.820
Proposition 10, this may be your only chance to stop Sharia law and prevent your granddaughters.
1.00
00:25:40.520
Explain for people who aren't in Texas or haven't heard in Texas what Proposition 10 is.
00:25:50.240
Proposition 10 will allow us to put this on the Texas Constitution, which prevents the use of Sharia law as a law.
00:26:01.400
Instead of our Constitution and the Texas Constitution, the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Constitution as law.
00:26:09.720
It would prevent them from overriding our current laws.
00:26:14.100
And it would stop them from doing things like circumcising your daughters, raping your daughters if they're not Muslim, preventing businesses from selling alcohol, preventing pornographic material in businesses, but not forced on people.
0.99
00:26:57.600
Once the firemen arrive today, say, you guys have this handled.
00:27:14.980
I mean, Ricky, can we find the audio of the green couch interview I did with the two Muslim imams in Texas?
00:27:26.080
And there was rumor that they were for Sharia law.
00:27:29.520
And they spent 30 minutes going, no, of course we're not.
00:27:32.920
And I made them very, very comfortable until one of them finally said, well, I mean, I mean, we all agree.
00:27:38.700
If you steal, you should have your hand cut off.
00:27:48.540
If you don't pass this bill, do you know what they're doing in Dearborn, Michigan now?
00:27:53.800
I think it's Dearborn, where they are now trying to pass a resolution that all of the city's documents and everything else will be in Arabic first.
00:28:14.240
Stepping into Stu's role and going, I got a fact check.
00:28:19.340
Because I didn't sleep last night because of Bill Gates and the hookers that he did not sleep with or purchase.
1.00
00:28:36.640
If you want to get into hookers, we can do it.
1.00
00:28:39.780
Uh, but, uh, she's not sleeping well because of that.
0.99
00:28:43.500
Um, anyway, proposition 10, make sure that you, uh, you do that.
00:29:00.200
Thank you for all the help you're giving our country.
00:29:04.600
I think when you went to Afghanistan, a lot of other talk show hosts, they talk the talk, but brother, you walk the walk.
00:29:16.500
Um, anyway, so, you know, Billy, I don't want you to think I'm, I don't, don't, don't inflate.
00:29:25.180
I went into the middle East, but I was not allowed to actually go into Afghanistan.
00:29:29.800
Um, I would have really muddied things up, but I was in the middle East and our people who deserve that kind of praise.
00:29:40.980
I'm a, um, a singer songwriter and you should be getting it today.
00:29:47.800
There's the last song on the CD is called remember the soldier.
00:29:52.500
And, um, it's dedicated to all the fallen soldiers dating back from the revolutionary war to current.
00:30:04.620
There's a book called the naked communist that pretty much explains what's going on.
00:30:13.500
They should just stop calling them liberals and call them what they are and they're communists.
00:30:18.860
So this book, I think you can get it on Amazon.
00:30:23.660
It says 45 things that you need to destroy a country.
00:30:27.380
And I think you brought it up already on one of your shows.
00:30:38.180
I can hear the Baltimore accent in you when you say shows, but anyway, uh, it's really a very small pocket of, uh, of an accent.
00:30:47.140
We have talked about that and you're absolutely right.
00:30:50.880
We have to start calling, uh, people by the proper label.
00:30:55.500
You know, um, why, why are progressives called progressive turn of the century?
00:31:06.440
I mean, it happened in the 1800s as well here, but, uh, turn of the century communism was starting to take, to take real root.
00:31:14.160
And people were starting to say, remember, this is before all the atrocities.
00:31:17.100
So you can kind of excuse people a little bit, um, and say, you know, it's a modern era.
00:31:24.360
We're going to have administrative states and tell everybody how to live.
00:31:28.680
But, um, so people were like, yeah, I really liked that.
00:31:32.880
Um, but they didn't want to be called communists.
00:31:36.600
They, cause they didn't believe in the violent revolution that everyone else was preaching.
00:31:41.820
Remember there was the Paris communes in the 1800s and everything else.
00:31:45.480
And so there was these, there, there was just this list of, of blood, uh, and, and, and skirmishes and riots and everything else that people in America were like, I don't want that.
00:31:59.960
So they decided to call themselves progressives.
00:32:02.840
We are going to progress towards that utopian society, but we're just going to do it without the revolution.
00:32:15.020
When Woodrow Wilson got in, people started to see what progressives really were.
00:32:19.940
I mean, you have to remember, read, read up, but Woodrow Wilson said, ah, finally a guy who gets it, a guy we can really work with.
00:32:28.000
And a, and a guy whose country now, because of what he's doing, we're going to be able to be buddies.
00:32:33.500
We're going to be able to do all kinds of stuff together.
00:32:44.500
Well, when he started doing all kinds of things that were progressive and taking the constitution, because people understood the declaration of independence, the constitution and our founding fathers, unlike we do now, they rejected and they were like, holy cow.
00:33:01.640
So by 1930, the word progressive, progressive was erased.
00:33:11.660
Now, liberal used to mean somebody who believed in the bill of rights, somebody who was, uh, you know, for, uh, empowering the people and living by the, the bill of rights and the constitutional order as understood by, you know, maximum amount of freedom.
00:33:32.600
They always come in under cloak and it's like they're termites.
00:33:37.080
They, they come in and they destroy whatever it is.
00:33:40.380
And then they have to get into another mask and then they destroy that.
00:33:44.340
And then another mask until they're finally revealed.
00:33:47.060
So watch this history starts a communist, then they're progressives.
00:33:50.800
Then Woodrow Wilson scares the hell out of people.
00:33:53.160
So they, they morph and they put a new mask on and they say they're liberals until we get to this point.
00:33:58.900
You know, we're in around 2000 where Hillary Clinton finally says, I'm a proud early 20th century American progressive because liberal, they had destroyed the word liberal so much that everybody was like, I don't want to vote for a liberal.
00:34:15.080
So they became progressive again because you had forgotten what progressive meant under Woodrow Wilson in the early part of America.
00:34:25.760
Now they've destroyed the word progressive again, and they've exposed themselves as who they really are to begin with communists, communist people who believe in giant state.
00:34:47.200
When, when Donald Trump said at the state of the union this weekend, how do you, how do you not stand for that?
00:34:59.060
The answer is because they don't believe in those things.
00:35:05.520
That's not them just going, I can't give him a win.
00:35:07.960
They don't believe in the United States of America as constituted by our founders.
00:35:14.440
They don't believe that they don't believe in the declaration of independence.
00:35:18.140
They don't believe in the bill of rights as it was intended, as it was written, they'll pick and choose.
00:35:28.460
We really got to stop calling these people liberals because they're not liberal is somebody who, you know,
00:35:36.060
Alan Dershowitz, as much as I disagree with Alan Dershowitz and I disagree with him vehemently on a lot of stuff.
00:35:42.800
I at least respect him because he is an actual classic liberal.
00:35:50.840
He's a classic liberal who believes in the bill of rights.
00:35:53.640
That's not what a progressive is, and that's certainly not what you are seeing sitting at the State of the Union.
00:36:01.600
You are seeing early American, early 20th century American progressives, which are the eugenics people and the communists.

00:36:11.280
I mean, the first thing that Woodrow Wilson said was university.
00:36:20.060
He was the president of Princeton when he said this.
00:36:32.920
To make a man or a boy the most unlike his father as possible.
00:36:47.840
First, let me tell you about American financing.
00:36:57.000
Why is it people are having a hard time understanding the world?
00:37:03.360
Your world gets so small so fast when you're really under financial pressure.
00:37:16.140
High interest debt forces you into that reactive mode.
00:37:19.860
You're constantly putting out fires instead of building a plan.
00:37:29.060
Now, you get somebody who understands the structure and can think because they're not under the pressure and this is what they do for a living.
00:38:06.920
Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
00:38:21.380
Your membership in Torch's community means learning, empowering, and interacting with a growing community of like-minded people who believe in America.
00:38:58.120
I'm just reading a story that Ricky just got because what was it, Ricky, you just said about what I said on the air a minute ago?
00:39:10.960
I'm afraid of saying it again because my husband will think this will become a regular thing.
00:39:22.540
I'm right about the voting, but I understood that it was all text, that they were pushing for all text to be in Arabic.
00:39:36.360
Anyway, let me, let me, she just sent me this story.
00:39:40.500
When Lama Ali Ahmad became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2021, she was eager to become a voter.
00:39:47.620
In Lebanon, where she's from, elections were often derailed by crisis.
00:39:54.740
She registered and voted in the municipal election the same day.
00:39:58.220
That night, she gathered her family at the Dearborn home for special dinner of steak, chicken, and taboula and asked them how good it felt or told them how good it felt to finally be heard.
00:40:09.280
That's the moment, quoting, that's the moment where I really felt that I was an American citizen.
00:40:15.000
Last year, she celebrated another civic triumph, voting on a ballot printed in Arabic, her first language.
00:40:27.480
The Arabic translation, instructions of ballot questions, is more formal than familiar, even awkward in places.
00:40:34.640
Quote, I felt I was at home when I voted in Arabic.
00:40:41.100
Arabic, I felt I was at home when I voted in Arabic.
00:40:54.540
You're not, why must you come here and change us so you can feel at home?
00:41:06.940
It is one thing to bring your culture and melt into the American culture.
00:41:20.360
Bring it with you and melt into American culture so we become richer.
00:41:33.140
So we've been working, what, three or four months on this special.
00:41:37.220
In our Wednesday night specials, to me, did not go deep enough.
00:41:42.000
We have a special on March 19th, so coming in just a couple of weeks,
00:41:45.740
exposing the blueprints for conquering of the West.
00:41:49.960
They are conquering the West, and it's happening here in America.
0.97
00:41:53.620
And I will show you the blueprints in a 90-minute special you do not want to miss.
00:42:13.560
You don't always realize that you're missing things.
00:42:15.600
You just notice you're working a little harder.
00:42:17.560
You lean in a little bit more during conversations, or you ask people,
00:42:22.800
You then pretend you caught it the second time, even though you didn't.
00:42:26.040
By the end of a long dinner or family gathering, you're worn out,
00:42:29.340
not from talking, but from straining just to keep up.
00:42:32.300
This is what gradual hearing loss feels like for a lot of people.
00:42:37.440
But everything takes more effort than it used to.
00:42:41.040
What holds people back from doing something about it isn't just pride.
00:42:44.420
It is honestly the hassle, the appointments, the tests, the follow-ups,
00:42:47.340
the price tags that make hearing feel like a major medical product.
00:42:51.020
Audion Hearing is trying to make that first step a lot simpler.
00:42:55.060
Their Atom series, over-the-counter hearing aids are designed to be approachable,
00:42:58.840
easy to use, without prescriptions, no complications, no fittings.
00:43:03.820
You put them in, charge them, and then you're hearing better than you have in a long time
00:43:32.840
The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.
00:44:18.020
And then we can, we just kick back and relax a little bit at least.
00:44:24.020
I want to hear your comments and your questions.
00:44:41.000
I don't understand how this guy is actually trying to make the case that the standing filibuster
00:44:51.540
is destroying the filibuster or will set the Senate back on all of their important duties.
00:44:58.260
What is more important than saving and protecting the vote?
00:45:11.400
If he fails, it's going to force Donald Trump to do an executive order,
00:45:15.620
which the executive order will go farther than what the, uh, the Save America Act would do.
00:45:25.420
I'd like to do it through Congress, but Congress, they are nothing but fricking weasels.
0.88
00:45:33.220
John Thune is the biggest amongst, you know, you thought you got rid of Mitch McConnell.
00:45:41.400
I'm going to go into this here in just a second.
00:45:43.480
I want to really set the record straight for those senators who are trying to convince you
00:45:49.900
that somehow or another this is going to damage the country or damage the filibuster.
00:45:58.480
First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
00:46:01.920
Your current mobile company does not need you to agree with the things they believe in.
00:46:09.920
They keep the coverage good enough knowing that you do not want to cancel your mobile phone company.
00:46:17.700
And while you're not looking, they're using billions in revenue to support causes and policies
00:46:22.320
and organizations that are most likely completely out of step with your values.
00:46:28.720
You know, they don't check whether you're on board.
00:46:30.680
They just assume you're not going to notice and it's their money now.
00:46:36.100
Patriot Mobile offers reliable nationwide coverage on the exact same networks and cell towers and everything else.
00:46:43.640
And they are using U.S.-based customer service people that will make your switch really easy.
00:46:54.640
And they don't support the things that you disagree with.
00:46:59.180
They take their money and their time and they're actually fighting for the First Amendment
00:47:03.960
and the whole Bill of Rights and freedom and our soldiers and our cops and everything else.
00:47:11.940
PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT.
00:47:22.360
Was I a little too harsh on those members of Congress?
00:47:37.500
If you want to know how America and the filibuster is supposed to work, all you need to do really is watch Mr. Smith goes to Washington.
00:47:47.760
He was standing at the table, just a glass of water, stack of papers.
00:47:53.020
He, in that movie, he was a man all alone and he was willing to lose it all.
00:48:03.880
Not a trick, not a procedural ghost, not a backroom email that says, hey, we're blocking this.
00:48:09.660
A man standing, speaking, burning daylight and paying a price.
00:48:20.980
It actually comes, it's from the Dutch and it's like, uh, or something like that.
00:48:35.840
Early in our history, in the United States Senate, um, that's what it meant.
00:48:43.440
1806 at the urging of vice president, Aaron Burr, the Senate removed its previous question motion.
00:48:50.460
That was the rule that allowed a simple majority just to cut off debate.
00:48:57.360
Because they got old timey this is because the Senate was so small.
00:49:01.480
They just knew gentlemen would restrain themselves.
00:49:09.780
Well, history has a way of challenging assumptions, doesn't it?
00:49:13.420
So for decades, they put the filibuster in and it was very, very rare.
00:49:28.160
What is the reason we have the checks and balances?
00:49:32.000
Why do we have our Congress and our Senate and everything set up the way it is?
00:49:36.300
One of the reasons is to slow things down because people get passionate and they make stupid.
00:49:44.880
You make stupid moves when you are heated and in the moment.
00:49:58.020
If there was something passing, a group of people or one guy could stand up, but he had to stand and he had to speak the whole time.
00:50:15.600
I'm telling you, everything crappy about this country came from the Woodrow Wilson period or his acolytes.
00:50:23.060
So there was a small group of two people, both progressives.
00:50:38.900
And two progressives stood up because Wilson wanted to now arm merchant marine ships because war was coming.
00:50:47.860
And so we were sending stuff over and he's like, we have to have cannons on these ships so they can defend themselves.
00:50:55.900
Two progressives actually stood up and went, no, that's a prelude to war.
00:51:10.280
And so he told the Senate, you need a new rule.
00:51:14.360
And so this is when that stupid word that nobody knows what it means, cloture, came to play.
00:51:26.140
And it ruled that cloture meant that a super majority could end debate.
00:51:37.200
It would require a super majority to end debate.
00:51:43.760
In 1975, that was lowered to three fifths, 60 votes.
00:51:47.480
So if you still wanted to stop something, you still had to stand there.
00:51:52.940
You had to speak and the whole country could see you.
00:51:59.740
Jimmy Stewart standing there, horse trembling, you know, collapsing under the weight of corruption and exhaustion, reading from the Constitution, from the phone book, from the soul of the Republic.
00:52:14.680
That scene is part of our bloodstream because it captures something really essential.
00:52:20.520
If you believe enough, if you believe something is really wrong, then you must be willing to stand up and pay a price.
00:52:32.360
And that may just be enduring, you know, enduring days and days of standing up and speaking.
00:52:40.900
It was meant to be costly because it, it separates the serious from just the political it's costly in time.
00:52:50.660
It's costly in stamina, and it is costly in political capital.
00:52:55.240
If you don't believe it, you're not going to do it.
00:53:00.600
And it forces whoever wants to stop things to prove that they're serious.
00:53:10.900
Well, the Senate adopted something called a two-track system.
00:53:14.800
And instead of grinding everything to a halt while a senator spoke, the chamber could set aside the bill and move on with other business.
00:53:25.880
The two-track system solved the problem they were trying to solve, which was paralysis of the entire chamber.
00:53:33.760
What was happening was because of FDR, another progressive, they had grown the administrative state so large, Congress and the Senate still had to pass the laws, the rules for the administrative state.
00:53:50.600
And so they had all of these things they had to do.
00:53:54.680
And so filibusters would start popping up and people would stand up and they're like, we have so much we have to do.
00:54:05.900
It turned the filibuster from a rare act of physical resistance into just a routine procedural veto.
00:54:14.240
Before there were two-track filibusters, the filibuster was exhausting and therefore scarce, and it cost the people.
00:54:30.380
Why are people like me saying, enforce the standing filibuster on these guys?
00:54:37.200
Because we know it will cost them just like the State of the Union cost them.
00:54:43.000
They are going to be arguing against 80% of America.
00:54:47.280
71% of their own constituents believe in the Save America Act.
00:54:53.920
One of the most popular unifying things I have seen come through Congress in 20 years.
00:55:00.780
And it will require them to pay the price with their own constituents.
00:55:11.940
Tell the American people why you're shutting down the business of this government, the business of the people, to do something the people are against.
00:55:27.520
But once you take that price away, it's effortless.
00:55:36.860
The real breaking point was not one speech, not one villain.
00:55:49.320
1970, Vietnam, civil rights, Cold War, sprawling administrative state.
00:56:09.700
In trying to prevent the paralysis, the Senate made paralysis easier because when obstruction no longer requires stamina, it no longer requires effort, it no longer even requires conviction, it only requires strategy.
00:56:30.840
And strategy is always cheaper than sacrifice, and that was the pivot point in America.
00:56:38.060
History is full of institutions that were destroyed by bad intentions.
00:56:42.800
But sometimes, you know, in the name of practicality, really bad things happens, and this is one of those things.
00:56:58.600
That's what Mike Lee and everybody else is saying we must end.
00:57:03.120
Not the filibuster, the zombie filibuster, where a senator doesn't have to stand.
00:57:14.420
They just have to signal an intent to filibuster.
00:57:18.420
And then that bill can't come back to the floor without 60 votes to proceed.
00:57:26.080
Absolutely unreasonable because it doesn't require any sweat.
00:57:38.380
If you require your elected senator to stand and talk and defend why he wants to obstruct something, especially this popular, are you really weakening the filibuster?
00:57:54.240
You're restoring the demand that you actually believe in something because the American people do.
00:58:14.680
Returning to a talking filibuster does not change the cloture threshold.
00:58:28.000
Under the zombie filibuster, the majority must muster 60 votes automatically.
00:58:35.160
Under the standing filibuster, the minority just has to continuously hold the floor.
00:58:46.800
The zombie filibuster flips the entire Constitution on its head.
0.99
00:58:54.300
The framers designed a Senate to cool the passions.
00:59:00.300
They were the saucer to the House's hot teapot.
00:59:11.640
Congress requires supermajorities in very specific cases.
00:59:16.800
Treaties, impeachments, constitutional amendments, but ordinary legislation, majorities rule.
00:59:24.780
The filibuster evolved as a tool of extended debate, not as a permanent 60-vote requirement for everything.
00:59:34.920
And when the minority can silently raise the threshold to 60 without lifting a finger,
0.84
00:59:41.320
without standing there and saying, this is why it's important,
01:00:03.680
If you're willing to halt the nation's business,
01:00:06.700
you should be willing to stand in the well of the Senate and explain to the American people
01:00:11.620
why, hour after hour, day after day, look into the camera,
01:00:16.060
let the American people decide whether your stand is heroic or absurd.
01:00:29.480
When senators no longer have to fight physically for their objections,
01:00:54.160
The majority must, the minority must endure.
0.96
01:01:16.840
It would mean that when a bill dies, it dies in public.
01:01:20.920
And we all should know where you stood and who stood
01:01:26.480
The Senate calls itself the world's greatest deliberative body.
01:01:30.620
Well, deliberation requires a voice, not emails,
01:01:46.820
Do what America is demanding on both sides in overwhelming numbers,
01:01:54.060
Have the balls to stand up for something you actually believe in.
01:02:03.620
All right, let me talk to you about Burn a Launcher.
0.61
01:02:07.800
it's a good thing I don't live in Washington, D.C.,
01:02:32.000
A lot of self-defense options come with consequences
01:02:38.400
if you live in a blue state, good luck with that.
01:02:43.220
The Burn a Launcher was designed for that space
01:03:54.980
It was coming from Glenn's hands, pounding the desk.
01:03:57.940
And so why does this one really rev you up so much?
01:04:06.960
Tell me the last thing we as America agreed on at 80%.
01:04:12.420
And yet they're still finding ways to divide us.
01:04:18.000
And it's our side who has promised they were going to do what the American people were asking
01:04:24.840
And they don't have the balls to stand up and just say, make your case.
01:04:39.020
Call John Thune's office and say, make them stand up and defend what they say they're actually for.
01:04:53.300
Most life-altering decisions are made under pressure.
01:04:59.480
When a woman finds herself facing unexpected pregnancy, the clicking talk inside of her mind is loud.
01:05:11.060
And it pushes them towards quick decisions just to relieve the anxiety.
01:05:18.220
And when a mom can see an ultrasound, when she can hear the heartbeat in that quiet moment, she can see that that's a developing baby.
01:05:31.180
And then pre-born is there with these great nurses that are like, we'll help you.
0.99
01:05:46.520
So, women can slow down and make an informed decision.
1.00
01:05:50.600
For $28, you can provide that life-saving ultrasound.
01:06:02.400
Don't be a wussy wiener like those members in Congress.
01:06:05.580
If you want to be smarter than your average swamp monster, join Torch today.
01:06:09.080
Last day to lock in on our inflation-proof price.
01:06:34.020
Uh, I'm just trying to, you know, I got to say thank you to the FCC for, uh, making me a better man today.
01:06:42.800
Because if it wasn't for the FCC rules, uh, that monologue might have ended up a little differently.
01:06:48.840
Um, but, uh, thank you for imposing those rules and, and making me enforce them because it would have been a mighty big fine.
01:07:01.640
If you missed, uh, what we were just talking about, uh, I, I got into the, um, the, uh, filibuster and, uh, and John Thune and what weasel.
01:07:13.820
Um, and, you know, Donald Trump is going to do it anyway.
01:07:17.600
Uh, and I'd really prefer not to do it through executive order because I think he's going to include things that, you know, you, you just can't, you, I just don't want the federal guy.
01:07:28.320
I'm not going to, I'm going to stop talking about this anyway, just make them stand and defend themselves.
01:07:52.580
Uh, so I was just wondering, uh, I was told, so I've been talking to a bunch of, uh, people from my school who are, um, conservative, Republican, like, and, uh, they've had some, like, they've been wondering if like JD Vance, like next, uh, term, let's say like elected.
01:08:15.280
Then, uh, like, will he be able to keep the ball rolling?
01:08:23.700
Well, I, you know, I don't know, Zach, and I don't think you should assume that JD Vance is going to be the guy.
01:08:28.480
I mean, I, I just talked to, uh, Rubio and Vance at the same time.
01:08:32.700
We were in the hallway outside of the oval office and, uh, they both came one at a time.
01:08:37.260
And then, and, uh, and the, uh, and secretary Rubio, he came out first.
01:08:43.580
I was talking to him and I said, what, what is, I mean, I've always liked you, Marco, but man, you are becoming, you're just like a machine.
01:08:50.900
And he said, oh, it's him pointing to the oval office.
01:08:53.720
He said, like the guy is just, I mean, he is just telling us what to do every day and we just do it.
01:09:00.240
And then JD Vance came in and, uh, and saw that Marco was there and we were talking and, and, uh, I said, uh, JD, we're just talking about how amazing this administration is.
01:09:12.340
And he said, without hearing Marco, he said, it's him.
01:09:15.720
He said, he is just, he is on it 24 hours a day.
01:09:19.320
And he said, he just, every day he's like, what should we do next?
01:09:26.240
And, uh, I just heard JD talk about this and said, you know, we need to take some time and say, Hey, this is what we've done.
01:09:32.020
Donald Trump is not, he, he knows the clock is ticking.
01:09:36.620
And, uh, and I'm not sure anyone will get that as much, but I do like the idea that JD Vance and, uh, Marco Rubio both were in this administration and saw how it can be done.
01:09:53.620
I mean, I think Ron DeSantis was remarkable and still is remarkable in Florida.
01:10:10.520
Um, you know, we have Marco Rubio, JD Vance and, uh, Ron DeSantis, just those three alone.
01:10:17.200
And I'd take any of those three, at least at this point.
01:10:19.940
I mean, I like, I like to hear, but they're going to be different presidents than this guy.
01:10:24.580
Um, and, and possibly vastly different, vastly different.
01:10:44.800
Brian, I'm an inside member just joined and it's, it's great.
01:10:51.940
Uh, wanted to get your opinion on the Republic and what we're going to do since we can't
01:11:01.540
And the fact that, uh, you know, we need Congress to ratify all of these executive orders that
01:11:07.920
Donald Trump has done or the next Democrat presidents just can undo them all.
0.73
01:11:11.720
And we're going to be right back where we were.
01:11:13.800
And it seems like now we're actually losing some, some Patriots, you know, Chip Roy's
01:11:19.340
You got Marsha Blackburn and Byron Donald's running for governors of their respective states.
01:11:25.060
I mean, there's a good chance we're going to get rhinos back into, to Congress, um, instead
1.00
01:11:30.720
of some of these Patriots that are all leaving.
01:11:32.400
So you're going to also have some really good people, uh, come in.
01:11:37.960
I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I haven't been watching what is coming
01:11:42.340
Um, and don't dismiss, you know, you have Chip Roy going to, uh, become the AG, hopefully
01:11:50.980
Uh, then you have, um, you know, Marsha Blackburn, uh, you know, running for governor, uh, same
0.81
01:11:59.000
thing with, uh, uh, Byron running for governor.
01:12:08.500
There have, there has to be a line with strong, strong states.
01:12:13.600
So I don't mind that some of the best people are going out and becoming and running for
01:12:18.440
governor of their states because the states need to be really super strong.
01:12:22.640
Um, but that is another reason to see, I've found a way to do it.
01:12:26.300
I got to get off this because I'm going to, I'm going to talk to you about the, the save
01:12:30.480
And you've already heard that rant, but that's why it's so important.
01:12:34.020
You know, you've got to be able to get the right people elected.
01:12:39.040
And when I say the right people, here's what I mean by that.
01:12:52.680
But if we lose elections because the people have decided to go in another direction, I'm
01:13:02.100
What I'm not fine with is either side being able to cheat and put their finger on the
01:13:15.320
They've tried to take away our voice in every way possible and by making it so anyone can
01:13:23.100
So you can't track where the ballots are coming from or who's going to vote or any of that
01:13:42.260
Uh, let me talk about, let me, you know what, let me talk about something that hit me a
01:14:00.860
He and Steve Martin together are just the best.
01:14:04.100
And Martin short has the same kind of John candy feel to him that you just tell underneath.
01:14:14.800
Um, his daughter was 40, 42, um, died and from an apparent suicide.
01:14:23.760
Um, and if I may just speak to an audience of one here, Martin, you gave the world and
01:14:38.420
me personally, something really rare, true unforced laughter and the kind that catches
01:14:46.920
you off guard and is so innocent and it reminds you that joy is still alive.
01:15:03.620
And it's from a tragedy that is unexplainable and unimaginable.
01:15:17.960
When suicide comes into a family, it doesn't knock politely.
01:15:26.300
And it leaves for a while, maybe in some ways forever, love with no place to go.
01:15:40.680
I have lost two family members to this insanity and this darkness.
01:15:45.560
I stood at the edge of that cliff in my twenties.
01:15:52.540
I mean, be taken to the hospital because they brushed against this darkness.
01:16:04.340
And I want you to know, Martin, you, you have given millions of people, millions of people
01:16:21.860
And, uh, when I heard it, and I know I'm not alone in this, when I heard the news about
01:16:27.060
your daughter, I just wished there was some way I could return the favor.
01:16:34.340
Because you've made me laugh at times I didn't think I could.
01:16:55.780
and, and, and give back just a fraction of the joy that you just hand out without any effort.
01:17:07.700
Millions of people are praying for you, for your family,
01:17:10.160
and the kind of comfort that doesn't come from words, but from presence.
01:17:20.100
It's important for me, personally, to speak out about these things,
01:17:47.180
I had a suicide in my family, and I was too young.
01:52:24.060
and Hillary was like I don't know anything
0.92
01:59:55.140
Constitution there will be no Sharia law in
1.00
02:00:28.300
live and I escaped Brooklyn of all the you
0.97
02:00:36.040
Islam which is very surprising it's like I
1.00
02:02:40.420
pollinators might be a thing a wrestler to
1.00
02:03:40.920
this is man get rid of brown people for me
