00:00:32.060
You've probably heard the news that new tariffs have kind of been talked about lately.
00:00:36.620
That means prices are going up again, especially at the grocery store when you're talking about meat and chicken and seafood and all that stuff.
00:00:44.340
The good news is Good Rancher is kind of tariff-proof because their entire supply chain is 100% American.
00:00:50.860
Every steak, every chicken breast, every ounce of seafood, all sourced from trusted American farms.
00:00:57.120
You know, that means your meat doesn't rely on overseas shipping, foreign processors.
00:01:02.920
It is reliable, and it's locked in at a stable price.
00:01:05.920
In fact, when you subscribe, you don't just protect yourself from price hikes.
00:01:13.240
You should choose from ground beef or wild-caught salmon or seed-oil-free chicken nuggets or even bacon.
00:01:19.480
Good Ranchers will include it in every box for as long as you stay subscribed.
00:01:24.920
However, it's a great deal that you can't pass up, so check it out now.
00:01:28.900
Lock in a secure supply of American meat at a steady price today.
00:01:44.580
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:01:50.600
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
00:01:58.320

00:02:45.500
Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.
00:03:35.960
Of course, tariffs and tariff confusion continues.
00:03:43.680
And that and much more coming up in one minute.
00:03:48.280
You and I both know someone who's learned to live with the pain.
00:03:53.440
It's kind of that nagging tweak in your back, stiffness in your knees.
00:03:59.400
But over time, that quiet ache becomes part of the background noise of your life.
00:04:03.860
It's like, you know, it's like a radio left on in the other room.
00:04:05.840
That's what we're hoping you're doing with the show today, by the way.
00:04:09.620
Even if you're not really listening to it, just leave it on.
00:04:16.600
Inflammation can be addressed, of course, by relief factor.
00:04:22.080
And the ingredients that are in it are drug-free, research-based, and designed to support your body's natural response.
00:04:31.460
But if you stick with it, you might be amazed at what your body can do when pain isn't calling the shots.
00:04:37.420
We've heard from so many of you talking about trying everything else and going with relief factor and finding something that actually works.
00:04:43.740
So if you're dealing with pain every day, stop settling.
00:04:46.420
And for just $19.95, you can try relief factors.
00:05:07.620
It feels a little chaotic right now, doesn't it?
00:05:11.600
It's so tough to know what's going on and whether you can trust the reporting on it and whether Trump is, you know, he's obviously got a plan here.
00:05:25.080
So, you know, whatever it is, like he's just kind of he's doing his thing.
00:05:31.240
And we keep hearing reports of one thing happening and then reversing and the rates go up and the rates go down.
00:05:38.420
And I'm sure he's leading to something here, but we're not necessarily a party to it.
00:05:42.580
Well, on Friday, Caroline Levitt delivered a message about tariffs and about illegals.
00:05:50.960
We'll get into her comments coming up in a minute.
00:05:54.160
But also, Kevin Hassett talked about he's the National Economic Council director.
00:06:00.400
And yesterday he he said that one hundred and thirty countries have now come to the table to try to renegotiate with the United States of America.
00:06:13.640
The whole point of the trade policy is to address the national emergency that we're too dependent on foreign products in the U.S., especially if we were in a time of conflict.
00:06:24.680
And we're doing something about that. And the reciprocal act was basically, guys, if you come to the table and negotiate us with us and treat us the same way we treat you, then we'll get your rate really low.
00:06:37.040
And so right now, one hundred thirty countries, one hundred thirty countries have responded and we're negotiating with them and they've got their rate down to 10 percent.
00:06:45.040
And so really, it's it's kind of almost a two world system. There's there's a process about China and that's very, very nascent, if at all.
00:06:53.240
And then the process for everybody else. So the process for everybody else is orderly.
00:06:57.040
It's clear. People are coming to town with great, great offers.
00:07:02.200
We've got Japan, Korea, India. I was just talking to the foreign minister of India and everything is moving forward very quickly.
00:07:16.980
Now, the way you said we're all set didn't seem like you really missed.
00:07:21.340
Was it too enthusiastic? Is that what you're trying to get to?
00:07:29.000
They have a zero percent tariff on us and we're putting a 10 percent tariff on them.
00:07:36.400
Like that's not I that's not a reciprocal tariff.
00:07:40.260
Well, because Netanyahu said a couple of weeks ago, we're going to remove all tariffs from American goods.
00:07:46.940
Right. So if what he just said, what what he just has it said is true.
00:07:52.780
Like, is that because he's saying that's our goal.
00:07:56.900
But I just don't see if that's our if it's our goal.
00:08:00.240
You'd think that someone lowering tariffs to zero percent would be enough to really move it to zero percent for them.
00:08:06.380
Right. But that's not our goal, seemingly, as we don't seem to do those things.
00:08:10.600
I know it has something to do with the trade imbalance, trade imbalance.
00:08:13.980
However, we also put 10 percent tariffs on countries that have we have a trade surplus with.
00:08:24.880
There's this sort of dual track thing that they're trying to pull off here.
00:08:31.160
Nobody voted for me for president of the United States.
00:08:47.880
You know, there's no way my wife voted for me for president.
00:08:56.680
But like, you know, I get that I'm not in the White House.
00:09:00.200
I don't have all the insight that the president has or what the people around him have.
00:09:04.140
Now, like, you know, I've talked to people who who worked in the White House, worked with
00:09:07.100
some of the people that you're hearing talking about these policies.
00:09:13.260
But they're trying to execute the president's vision.
00:09:15.580
And I think there are reasons that these these policies can make sense.
00:09:19.780
If the reason is to get it to zero percent, that it could make sense.
00:09:24.220
However, that doesn't exactly seem like our our reason here.
00:09:29.320
And also, if it is, then all the complaints you've made about wanting to get manufacturing
00:09:34.500
jobs back to the United States don't really work.
00:09:38.240
Because if you get them to zero percent, then tariffs don't bring jobs back to the United
00:09:46.560
I do think that Donald Trump's vision is not what he just said.
00:09:53.860
We want to get the we're going to get 100 130 countries to come negotiate with us and
00:10:04.980
Now, he told Glenn and Glenn has said this on the air multiple times.
00:10:13.620
He thinks he thinks they accomplish other things.
00:10:17.320
So he's trying to figure out whatever combination of factors he's got in his head to try to make
00:10:24.720
this process come out in the best possible way for America.
00:10:27.920
I don't think any of us have a doubt that that is his goal.
00:10:31.060
He believes whatever he believes the best outcome for America is, is something he's chasing.
00:10:35.960
Yeah, I don't always have that opinion, by the way, of our presidents.
00:10:40.820
I look at the last one, for instance, Joe Biden even have America's interest in his mind
00:10:47.560
No, I totally think that's Donald Trump does have those interests.
00:10:58.360
It would be completely inauthentic for me to come on and tell you that these things are
00:11:03.080
I'm just not a tax hike guy in almost every context.
00:11:06.880
And so it would be inauthentic for me to come on here.
00:11:17.260
People have been using them since the 1800s and wide use even in the United States.
00:11:24.300
And, you know, look, that is, I guess, separate from what we're going through now.
00:11:28.320
Like, I think, and I talked to people, I was talking to a guy, a friend of mine, who's
00:11:31.280
kind of more of a tariff fan than I am, let's say.
00:11:34.200
And he's supportive generally of the president's stated aims from the campaign, which was try
00:11:40.080
to get manufacturing jobs back here to America.
00:11:42.600
He works in an industry where there's a lot of imports.
00:11:44.880
And his point was just like, I actually like these policies.
00:11:53.160
I don't know what the policy is from day to day.
00:11:55.520
I can't move my entire supply chain from, I don't remember what country it was he was
00:12:02.520
He's like, but I can't move them here in a week.
00:12:05.700
Like, I would be happy to do it over a five-year period if tariffs were ramping up and I kind
00:12:10.700
But he's like, the other thing too is my industry is a low margin industry.
00:12:20.520
He's like, I now make no profit on any of these things.
00:12:22.920
Well, that's why you have to pass it along to your customers.
00:12:28.320
That's why the price of the product goes up with the tariff.
00:12:31.600
Because you can only eat that cost for so long.
00:12:35.000
Well, you dealt with this when it came to the Biden inflation stuff, right?
00:12:38.920
When it was more related to the policies Biden was doing with butter for your cookies,
00:12:47.780
I mean, you put about 30 pounds of butter in each cookie, which is a lot of butter.
00:12:54.940
You actually use more butter than most dairy companies produce.
00:13:01.580
You have to go to multiple companies just to get it.
00:13:12.880
Now, this is the truth with every single tax increase, right?
00:13:17.140
You'll always get more revenue, in theory, in the short term, at least.
00:13:21.600
Again, if the tariffs are very high, a lot of times people find ways around them.
00:13:26.000
And that's the same thing that happens with regular taxes.
00:13:28.800
But, like, the theory of a tax increase is that it's supposed to give you a little pain.
00:13:34.360
The people who are paying those taxes have a little pain.
00:13:40.880
You know, if the left was going to raise taxes on, you know, carbon emissions, right?
00:13:46.860
If they were being honest, which they rarely are.
00:13:48.940
But if they were, they would say, yes, this is going to make your energy cost more.
00:13:52.500
However, it's going to solve our invisible gas problem that we've been telling you about, right?
00:13:58.920
There's always, hey, yes, we're going to raise taxes on this, but it's going to pay for children's education or whatever.
00:14:07.820
The question is, of course, how does that play out in the long term?
00:14:10.040
All of that being said, that's true unless what Hassett just said is true, which is the goal the entire time was to get these taxes or the tariffs really low.
00:14:24.320
And it's funny to hear representatives from the White House make both arguments at the same time.
00:14:30.300
I don't think Trump is making both arguments at the same time.
00:14:34.860
I mean, yeah, I removed the tariffs because the markets were getting yippee.
00:14:43.000
Everyone else in the administration is coming out and going, actually, this is true.
00:14:52.360
And he's been pretty clear, too, that part of the goal is to level the trade deficit that we have.
00:14:58.360
Now, if you're going to try to level the deficit with China before any of this goes away, that's nearly impossible because our trade deficit with China is almost $2 trillion.
00:15:10.040
So, I don't know how you level that playing field.
00:15:14.100
I mean, we've been building this for decades now with China.
00:15:19.960
And so, at $2 trillion, they're not going to just forgive that debt.
00:15:23.900
They're not going to say, okay, don't worry about it.
00:15:26.640
It's not – it's – I mean, you can get into whether trade deficits are as damaging as some people say they are.
00:15:32.800
In reality, like, the easiest example of this is a country like Madagascar.
00:15:37.660
It's like, well, we buy a lot of vanilla beans from Madagascar.
00:15:40.440
Maybe you have them in some of the kexy cookies.
00:15:48.580
They make vanilla beans better than almost everywhere, right?
00:15:51.980
Everyone talks about Madagascar vanilla and specialty-type drinks and specialty-type foods.
00:15:58.080
I don't think Madagascar is going to buy an equal amount of our financial software.
00:16:02.360
I just – like, I've got real skepticism on that one.
00:16:07.760
I just – they just don't seem to care as much about that type of thing.
00:16:13.420
Again, their entire GDP is basically exporting vanilla beans, a lot of which we buy.
00:16:20.020
And they're just not going to import the stuff we make.
00:16:29.620
And we can't produce the vanilla beans that they make there.
00:16:46.280
In fact, they buy more of our stuff than we buy from them.
00:16:48.700
Because the things that they export, we don't have all that much need for.
00:16:53.900
And it's like taking metals that are very heavy and shipping them over here.
00:16:57.860
When we can kind of do a lot of it ourselves, it's just not that – it doesn't work.
00:17:05.280
I don't think either of those relationships are bad.
00:17:09.240
It kind of seems like that's the way they should work.
00:17:11.820
But if you're looking to lower those trade imbalances, what I would say is China sucks.
00:17:20.040
They're doing all sorts of things that screw us.
00:17:22.020
We're not going to be able to take all those jobs, nor probably do we want to,
00:17:26.160
move all those manufacturing jobs back to the United States.
00:17:29.500
Some of the higher-end ones we might consider, like, you know, it's funny.
00:17:32.940
The electronics were reportedly exempted from this, like iPhones, over the weekend.
00:17:41.260
But those would be the jobs you'd probably want if you're going to take them,
00:17:44.100
the higher-end technology manufacturing jobs, not the, you know, the lower-end, whatever,
00:17:50.340
But what usually happens with those jobs, especially when tariffs are low on countries
00:17:54.940
that are nearby, is you can move them from China to India, for example.
00:17:59.980
You can move them from China to Vietnam or China to Bangladesh or some other place
00:18:04.200
where you can still get the benefits of that lower cost and not necessarily enrich China.
00:18:11.660
That, to me, just seems to be maybe where this policy lands eventually.
00:18:14.700
If we could kind of get aggressive incentivizing those other countries,
00:18:21.020
there's a clearer path, I think, to something that would benefit the United States
00:18:24.780
and hurt China, which, frankly, you know, what they're doing to us,
00:18:38.320
Well, you probably heard that the next war won't be fought with tanks and jets.
00:18:46.520
But, like, the cyber attack one has been something that has not been getting the attention that we need.
00:18:52.380
This is a battlefield in the cyber arena that is really, really prominent right now.
00:18:59.280
That's not really the way this is going as much.
00:19:01.380
They're breaching your digital life, your bank account, your email, your medical records, your identity.
00:19:06.520
Now, more than ever, you need to lock your digital doors.
00:19:10.420
LifeLock can help you detect and alert you to potential identity threats you may not spot on your own.
00:19:16.000
And if your identity is ever stolen, they have a dedicated U.S.-based team to help fix it.
00:19:22.600
No one can monitor every transaction in every business.
00:19:25.240
But with LifeLock, you get someone watching your back, and it's really important these days.
00:19:29.560
You don't have to be a casualty of a war of ones and zeros.
00:19:33.640
But in order to avoid it, you have to pick the right protection.
00:19:36.720
And thankfully, it's easy to protect yourself with LifeLock.

00:19:54.320
Of course, meanwhile, China has stopped some exports on critical minerals and magnets.
00:20:13.060
And they're threatening to choke off the supply of components to central automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor companies, and military contractors around the world.
00:20:29.220
If we were going to do this trade war, we should have been preparing for it a long time ago.
00:20:33.200
We should be removing some of the restrictions that disallow us from mining our own heavy rare earth minerals.
00:20:44.440
I can't fathom why we would use our own resources.
00:20:48.660
Other than we don't have to rely on anybody else.
00:20:55.540
Especially for that and pharmaceuticals, we should have been prepared for this.
00:21:02.120
Because to completely rely and turn it all over to the Chinese, when we've got an adversarial relationship with them and always have had, it's seemed imprudent to say the least.
00:21:18.300
And when it was like, you know, PPE and things we needed for doctors and stuff here in the United States, they were just like, yeah, we're not exporting any of that stuff anymore.
00:21:29.920
Like, now, of course, this is very predictable.
00:21:31.520
It's interesting because it sort of highlights both the issues, the concerns with the trade war with China.
00:21:45.020
We've been vulnerable to this for a very long time.
00:21:48.480
And because we've taken no actions, and I don't think you need to do it in every arena.
00:21:56.840
Critical things that are in national defense categories, I think, make more sense.
00:22:04.520
And in a way, I think that is national defense related.
00:22:08.960
Like, if China decides to escalate this, and we have to deal with all of this stuff ourselves with no runway, it could be very ugly.
00:22:17.060
You know, think about, you know, think about, like, the formula shortage that happened a few years ago.
00:22:22.500
And I remember talking to a new dad who needed the specialty type formula, and he's like, I can't get it.
00:22:29.080
I'm driving all around the state, just stopping at Walgreens, just hoping there are just bottles for my kid in here.
00:22:35.560
Because it's so, it was so, you know, some specialty item that they, and, you know, we had restrictions on importing it from foreign countries, which is another problem.
00:22:44.620
A lot of times do come up with negative consequences the other way, too.
00:22:51.780
And so, that could happen with China just turning it off.
00:22:58.500
This is not, this is not J.D. Vance and Donald Trump sitting in a room talking to Zelensky and saying, you don't have any cards.
00:23:15.360
But they have cards that they can just turn stuff off.
00:23:20.480
They can, they can, they've got, they hold how much of our debt?
00:23:33.240
And also, they, they're the type of adversary that sticks by these decisions when they make them.
00:23:45.100
Well, it's too much freaking out going out on all of this stuff.
00:23:49.980
But it is important to understand where you stand and what the risks and concerns are.
00:24:13.880
Because if you're like most Americans, a big chunk of it is vanishing into high interest debt.
00:24:19.580
Credit cards, personal loans, car payments, it all adds up super fast.
00:24:23.060
And the more money that you owe, the more you're stuck just treading water.
00:24:27.680
So, I want to talk to you about the salary-based mortgage consultants over at American Financing.
00:24:32.140
They're not trying to sell you anything at all.
00:24:34.640
They're trying to help you and your financial life and get it back to where it needs to be.
00:24:39.220
Which is back on track for a more positive future.
00:24:45.420
And you could finally start putting money back in your pocket at the end of every month.
00:24:49.120
So, it would be great to be able to do that for everybody, especially with things being uncertain in the economy at times.
00:24:55.800

00:25:50.800
All right. Pat and Stu for Glenn today. On Friday, Caroline Lovett delivered a message to
00:25:57.340
illegals that are still hanging out in the United States of America. Here's what she had to say.
00:26:03.540
The deadline for registration under the Alien Registration Act is today.
00:26:08.180
All foreign nationals present in the United States longer than 30 days must register with
00:26:13.900
the federal government. Failure to comply with this is a crime punishable by fines,
00:26:19.400
imprisonment, or both. As President Trump and Secretary Noem have both said,
00:26:24.400
if you register and you leave now, you choose to self-deport. You may have the opportunity to
00:26:29.720
return later legally. But if not, you will be arrested, fined, deported, never to return to
00:26:37.200
our country again. The Trump administration will continue to enforce our nation's immigration laws.
00:26:43.180
We will not pick and choose which laws to enforce. We must know who is in our country for the safety
00:26:48.420
and the security of our homeland and for all American citizens.
00:26:52.420
That sounds kind of reasonable to me. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm ridiculous,
00:26:58.400
thinking that we should know who is coming here from other places.
00:27:04.380
Is that a brand new thought that you had this week?
00:27:09.860
How old am I? For that many years, I've had that.
00:27:13.740
For all 38 years of my life, I have been of that mindset.
00:27:18.600
Yeah, maybe we should know who's coming into our country. Like, every other country on
00:27:22.940
earth needs to know, wants to know, and tries to make sure that they know who's coming into
00:27:27.820
their country. But we, for some reason, are not allowed that little bit of sovereignty.
00:27:34.100
Like, we're just supposed to, okay, yeah, just everybody, come on in. Olly golly, I'll come
00:27:39.740
free. We're fine with whoever's here and whatever you're doing here. I'm sure it's fine. Whatever
00:27:44.980
disease you have, bring it. Bring it with you. We don't mind.
00:27:50.080
It's so bizarre. And I think, too, one of the frustrating things about the current news cycle,
00:27:54.860
if you will, is everyone's talking about tariffs. I mean, we even started with it today,
00:27:58.720
although, you know, it's leading the news. But stuff like this is going on that's really,
00:28:02.180
really positive. You know, Trump has got so many good things he's been working on,
00:28:07.260
so many things that have benefited the country since he got into office. The tariff thing is
00:28:12.060
sort of outshining that because it hits people in the pocketbook. You know, it's the economy
00:28:16.580
stupid kind of, you know, pops its head up here, as I see, you know, as James Carville's head
00:28:22.660
pops into mine. But like, it's a situation where you have these types of things. Like,
00:28:28.900
the border has been an unqualified success. Right? Like, it's been incredible. It's been
00:28:35.180
there's nothing you have to say. There's no real hesitation there. You don't have to be like,
00:28:38.460
oh, gosh, well, I mean, you know, we've had a couple of these issues where individual people
00:28:42.600
that were, you know, exported to El Salvador prisons that maybe shouldn't have. Yeah.
00:28:49.780
They're working on they're fighting that out in the courts right now. And I'm sure if I,
00:28:53.240
you know, if I was in that family of the gang, you know, accused gang member, I would be very
00:28:58.100
upset about such things. But generally speaking, when you talk about a policy, this has worked out
00:29:02.360
really well so far. Yeah. And, you know, it's an unqualified success. Yeah. And no one's talking
00:29:09.360
about it. It really is. And the only way they do talk about it is, well, what about that guy in
00:29:14.060
Maryland? Right. You took that guy in Maryland. He's a father. There are gang member fathers. Yeah,
00:29:19.860
there are. I don't know if you're aware of that. I mean, my understanding of gang members is they're
00:29:23.460
not all that worried about, you know, maybe impregnating people. So there's lots of gang
00:29:30.180
matter matter gang member fathers. I'm sure I don't know what that has to do with anything.
00:29:36.600
Like, it's not necessarily, you know, and again, as the administration itself has said in that
00:29:43.720
particular case, they made a mistake. And the Supreme Court is saying you need to try at least to
00:29:49.740
fix that mistake. Ukele, by the way, the head of El Salvador, is in Washington today. So I'm sure
00:29:55.300
they'll have some conversations about whether that can occur. And look, could we pressure them into
00:29:59.600
doing something? Yes, probably. I don't know that. We're paying them a lot of money for it. Yep. So
00:30:05.380
I'm sure that we can convince them that, yeah, send this one guy back. It's probably where this lands.
00:30:12.060
I don't know for sure. They say that, you know, he is, they have confirmation. I guess they have to
00:30:18.080
give daily updates on how they're progressing toward this policy. And the administration is
00:30:25.120
saying, you know, they found, they've now found out he is alive and well at this prison. Well might
00:30:30.960
not be the best description of it because that prison kind of sucks. As well as you can be.
00:30:36.180
But as well as you can be. In that supermax. And so they're working on getting him out of there.
00:30:40.020
All that being said is that's the entire focus of the border policy. Right? Like not the fact that
00:30:45.160
it's down 90 something percent from when Biden. Which is miraculous. Miraculous. And even because
00:30:51.160
it fell toward the end of Biden's regime because he implemented a lot of Trump's first term policies
00:30:57.240
again because he was worried about losing the election. Yeah. Over this issue. But it's even
00:31:00.880
down significantly from those levels. Right? And that has worked out not just through policy,
00:31:08.140
but just through tone. Right? The president of the United States saying, hey, no, we don't want
00:31:11.300
this anymore. As we've said so many times, just delivering the message helps a great deal.
00:31:17.860
A great deal. Before you build a wall or send the military there or do any of those methods,
00:31:25.540
it works. Just sending the right message. It's not going to be tolerated. So you might as well
00:31:30.440
turn around and go back home. If you're on your way here, go home. We're not going to allow you in.
00:31:34.620
Yeah. It's amazing how people don't want to walk 1500 miles only to turn around and go back.
00:31:38.980
Yeah. And also, I think there's also a part of this where there is some level of illegal immigrant
00:31:44.760
who crosses the border because they basically don't think it's a crime.
00:31:49.700
Yeah. Because half of our country says it all the time. Like when we get presidential candidates
00:31:56.500
who say, well, we welcome you in the middle of a presidential debate. I mean, I don't know if you
00:32:00.940
were in Guatemala, what would you take from that? Oh, well, the guy who just won the presidency said,
00:32:06.520
he's welcoming me. What am I supposed to do now? I would say, Hey, you obviously know it's still
00:32:12.300
illegal, but like, you know, and, and this might hit you a little too close to home, Pat. I want to
00:32:16.600
warn you as I, as I make this analogy, but some people are aware that exceeding a certain speed
00:32:23.220
with your automobile is against the law. And yet they still seem to do it over and over and over and
00:32:30.260
over again. Scofflaws. Yeah. Oh my God. It happens. That is despicable. Sometimes people get seven and
00:32:37.080
eight and nine tickets in a year and a half. 10 or 15 or 17. I mean, seven, 17, 17 tickets.
00:32:48.180
Yeah. But that's over a period of, you know, 12 years or now it's many years. So yeah. So those
00:32:54.460
people, I presumably, I'm just jumping into your analogy, your example there. I will say you added
00:33:01.100
incredible color to it. I it's actually no idea who it is you're speaking of, but of course, I hope
00:33:06.600
these people are in prison. You know, a lot of them are talking about no largely because we treat
00:33:12.640
speeding, you know, like a minor offense, like, Hey, you know, yeah, you do it sometimes. And you know,
00:33:18.280
if you get caught, you pay the fine and, or you, uh, you argue, try to get yourself out of it or
00:33:23.200
whatever. And that's kind of the beginning and the end of it. And people don't go to jail. People
00:33:26.920
don't get deported for it. Typically, you know, and that is how we kind of treat illegal immigration,
00:33:33.340
at least when a Democrat is in office. It is. Yeah. And many Republicans, it seems. Yeah. It's
00:33:37.220
like a speeding ticket or even less. It's like speeding. If you're in Guatemala making 18 cents
00:33:42.320
a decade. Yeah. I know you're looking at this and saying, Hey, I don't know. I mean, yeah, it's
00:33:47.960
look, it's probably a little bit of over the line, but they don't seem to care. So I don't know.
00:33:52.880
Let's go. So I think that type of stuff really completely eliminated by tone. Yeah, absolutely.
00:33:58.100
Trump can come out and say, no, it's not a speeding ticket. It is a major thing. It is a
00:34:03.620
focus of our administration. We are going to stop at full, full stop. And, uh, they will react to
00:34:09.520
that. Well, and Tom Homan's done a great job. Homan's been great. He's been awesome sending that
00:34:13.880
message. Oh yeah. Um, you know, back in 2008, it wasn't just Republicans, even back in 2008,
00:34:21.100
when I thought they were terrible on the issue. Uh, listen to what Hillary Clinton
00:34:25.400
said. Um, this is a video that's going around here. You probably going to agree with virtually
00:34:31.960
everything she says here. Uh, but here's what she said about illegal aliens back then.
00:34:37.720
So I think we got to have tough conditions. Tell people to come out of the shadows. If
00:34:43.060
they've committed a crime, deport them. No questions asked. They're gone. If they,
00:34:48.180
if they've been working and are law abiding, we should say, here are the conditions for
00:34:55.420
you staying. You have to pay a stiff fine because you came here illegally. You have to
00:34:59.380
pay back taxes and you have to try to learn English and you have to wait in line.
00:35:05.540
What a xenophobe. What a racist. What a hater. In line. And we expect you to learn English.
00:35:12.020
What? How hateful of her to suggest any of those things. It's fascinating. It is, isn't
00:35:18.660
it? It's amazing how, I mean, all that's completely gone now for Democrats. And I remember a while
00:35:24.140
ago, you may have done it more recently as well on Pat Gray unleashed, uh, you, uh, which
00:35:28.040
is your show by the way, Pat, and it's not just a coincidentally titled show. Um, you, uh,
00:35:33.320
played clips of democratic senators from like the nineties, people like Harry Reed and
00:35:38.940
you know, Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin and all these people who sounded like Republicans
00:35:44.700
do. Yeah. Sound like Donald Trump. Yeah. Sound like Donald Trump. Bill Clinton. Um, they all
00:35:50.740
did. They all did. I mean, Harry Reed was one of the biggest, uh, and most noticeable of
00:35:56.400
all the people who have completely changed on immigration. Uh, you know, we lost him. Of
00:36:02.100
course we lost him. So he doesn't say anything about it. Yeah. Very quiet on it. Very quiet
00:36:06.360
lately. We'll not address it. We'll not, but, uh, he was big time against illegal immigration.
00:36:13.120
And then, so what happened? I mean, that was the nineties granted for Harry Reed, but
00:36:17.540
what changed that he thought it was okay now? I, I don't know. Yeah. And do we have a Hillary
00:36:23.180
clip again? Can we play that one more time? And I hate to give you two doses, a double dose
00:36:26.640
of Hillary Clinton on a day like today, but there's, there's a hint to where the Democrats
00:36:32.300
went in this policy. Listen to this one more time. So I think we got to have tough conditions.
00:36:39.140
Tell people to come out of the shadows. If they've committed a crime, deport them. No
00:36:43.460
questions asked. They're gone. They're gone. If they, if they've been working and are law
00:36:50.860
abiding, we should say, here are the conditions for you staying. You have to pay us. Can you be
00:36:57.100
law abiding? Once you know, once you've broken the law and come across the border illegally? No,
00:37:02.020
you can't. But look, if you are in El Salvador or Honduras and you hear the leading politicians
00:37:09.180
say, well, if you've broken the law, you get exported, you're going to get deported. But if
00:37:14.020
you're, if you're here and you're law abiding, then it's okay. Well, if you're here and law
00:37:22.100
abiding that, that makes it seem like being here is not breaking the law. Sure. And, and
00:37:27.060
the Democrats and many Republicans sent that message over a long, long period where it just
00:37:32.060
seemed like, ah, go ahead, come. It's not that big a deal. It's a speeding ticket. And you
00:37:37.540
know, as long as you hit the qualifications, if you, if you take a driving class or whatever,
00:37:41.980
then you're going to be fine. Well, I mean, Trump has changed that formula. Sure has. And to,
00:37:47.900
to great effect. Yeah. And now he's telling you, if you are here, you need to come forward
00:37:54.780
and register so that we know who you are and what you're doing here. And you're still going
00:38:00.200
to be deported, but you have a chance to come back legally if that happens. So if you don't
00:38:07.280
and we catch you, then we're going to deport you and make sure you never come back again.
00:38:11.020
So, I mean, try to give them some incentive, you know, to come clean and make a fresh start.
00:38:18.340
But is that going to work? I don't know. Kind of doubt it. I think they're afraid to come forward
00:38:23.320
because they don't want to be deported. And so they're going to take that chance and
00:38:27.400
just see if maybe they can continue to get away with it. All right. 888-727-BECK. More coming on.
00:38:33.140
So let me tell you about the burner launcher and tell you about a scenario here. A woman walking
00:38:42.520
her dog in the middle of the afternoon, minding her own business, bothering no one. Could be your
00:38:46.600
wife, your mother, your sister, your daughter, a woman who's very close to you. And then all of a
00:38:51.240
sudden a man steps out from between two parked cars and grabs her by the arm. Now this is going to be a
00:38:56.180
terrible situation, but this particular woman doesn't panic. She doesn't scream. She just reaches into
00:39:00.260
her coat, pulls out her burner launcher instead. She doesn't have bullets. It's not deadly force.
00:39:05.080
It is a non-lethal burst of kinetic energy and a chemical irritant that sends him stumbling and
00:39:09.760
coughing back into the street. And then she walks away and calls the police. She might run. I would
00:39:14.820
say in that particular situation, she might run. But the point is the burner looks like a gun, but it
00:39:19.600
isn't. It's powered by CO2 cartridges and fires kinetic and chemical rounds that disable threats
00:39:25.000
without taking a life. It's not a toy. It's not a gimmick. It's a very real solution for the
00:39:29.820
very real situations where a gun either isn't necessary or isn't an option. You don't have to
00:39:35.300
feel helpless. You don't have to choose between doing nothing and doing something permanent.

00:39:53.560
shallow. A lot of it toxic. Almost none of it rooted in truth. But for once there's something different in
00:39:59.240
theaters right now, something worth seeing, it's called The King of Kings. And it is a brand new
00:40:04.000
animated film from Angel Studios, the same people that brought you Sound of Freedom and so many other
00:40:08.300
great movies. It's not just a movie. It's a reintroduction to Jesus Christ through the eyes
00:40:13.980
of a child. This isn't some dry retelling. It's a vibrant, powerful story. It is full of heart.
00:40:19.620
A father tells his young son the greatest story ever told. And together we walk through the life of
00:40:24.060
Jesus from the miracles to the cross and beyond. It's all seen through a child's wonder and faith.
00:40:30.860
And it's a great way to present this message. Obviously, we're coming up to Easter here and
00:40:34.280
couldn't be more timely. It is packed with talent in the cast. It appears Brosnan, Kenneth Branagh,
00:40:40.540
Mark Hamill, Uma Thurman, Ben Kingsley, Forrest Whitaker, to name a few. But more than that,
00:40:45.400
it's a film that has courage. It tells the truth. It doesn't apologize for it. It's something that
00:40:49.660
families are starving for right now. And that is the number two movie in America. So it kind of
00:40:55.080
tells that story in a very direct way. You've been asking for entertainment that has going to
00:41:00.120
reflect your values and maybe feeds your soul instead of poisoning it. Well, this is it. The
00:41:05.520
King of Kings is in theaters now. Take your kids, take your grandkids, take someone who needs to be
00:41:09.620
reminded of what real love looks like. We're going to be going ourselves this coming weekend. Go to

00:41:20.600
Have you ever seen a liberal's hands smoother than a snake on oil? I guess they're more worried
00:41:27.560
about the meaning of the word female than the word work. Glenn Beck will be right back.
00:41:44.020
Pat and Stu for Glenn today. 888-727-BECK. Oh, I wanted to show you the, you know, we were just
00:42:08.440
talking about immigration and how much different things are at the border right now. And mostly
00:42:14.400
just because of the message that's being sent by this administration compared to the last.
00:42:19.960
Here's what Eagle Pass Texas looked like during the Biden administration. You can see the before
00:42:26.680
here with illegals in the water and up on the bank. This is after. It looks like just water.
00:42:34.540
It's just water and no people in it. Are those not on the bank either? Are the fish illegal?
00:42:40.260
I don't know about that. That's possible. They seem to be crossing back and forth. Yeah. Yeah. They
00:42:44.000
don't necessarily get out of the water, but they get close and they're making me, it makes me a little
00:42:47.780
nervous. Uh, no, yeah, you're right. It's a totally different thing. Completely different. We would see
00:42:52.220
these videos all the time from Bill Malugan from Fox News. I always, always has them with the, you know,
00:42:57.160
the, uh, the drone shots of like, you know, here's 8,000 people crossing the border. You're like, wow.
00:43:02.380
You think this is, if this happened one time, it would be all the government is talking about.
00:43:07.240
Yeah. And it would happen daily and no one would care. Yep. They did nothing about it except
00:43:13.120
continue to encourage it actually. Uh, so it's, it's despicable what had, you know, what we allowed
00:43:22.160
to happen to this country for so long. Um, this was a deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller,
00:43:28.900
explaining how the Biden administration was actively using illegal immigration to destroy
00:43:33.440
the country. I just did a vote and it was by design. That's their, that's their belief.
00:43:40.040
It is, it is absolutely by design. You've summarized it for your audience perfectly, Sean.
00:43:45.500
This was not a loophole. The Biden administration, secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas,
00:43:52.140
devised a scheme to fly illegal aliens into the country and then to escort them in mass across
00:43:59.180
the border by the millions. Right. And to give them something known as parole, which gives them
00:44:04.040
a work permit, which gives them a social, which gives them a social security number. Right. Which
00:44:08.340
gives them access to the voting booth. Okay. So that was the whole plan to get voters into the country
00:44:14.480
that they thought they could count on. Uh, so they just allowed people into the country. So they had
00:44:19.920
extra voters. Well, one way to solve the illegal immigration crisis is to make every illegal immigrant
00:44:24.780
legal and just say they're legal. And then you solve the problem completely. This is Glenn Beck.
00:44:44.880
We're just talking about this off the air. King of Kings coming out, uh, was actually out already,
00:44:49.140
but the, uh, I think almost like the second weekend of King of Kings is going to be even bigger than the
00:44:54.500

00:46:07.960
Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.
00:47:17.640
We're going to first tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com
00:47:21.560
I'm going to meet a real estate agent who's a little too enthusiastic about things
00:47:26.580
Of course, that probably means it's got a cracked foundation
00:47:32.560
Of course, that's realtor speak for closet-sized bathrooms
00:47:37.260
Which means it doesn't have what it needs right now
00:47:40.600
Probably you need a hazmat suit to actually even walk through the house
00:47:46.200
And you need a real estate agent who's going to give you the truth, right?
00:47:50.660
Someone who's part of a network of top performers
00:48:02.240
You just go online, you answer a few simple questions
00:48:04.480
And you'll be matched with the best real estate agent in your area
00:48:08.480
And knows how to actually get your home sold or bought
00:48:12.180
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make
00:48:16.220
If you can do it with someone you actually trust
00:48:29.820
Oligarchy tour things that they're doing around the country
00:48:47.400
Nobody's going to the Bernie Sanders AOC oligarchy show
00:49:12.380
Put together to show Bernie Sanders over the years
00:49:19.360
This great country of ours is moving very rapidly in the direction of oligarchy
00:49:38.440
We will move even more rapidly in the direction of an oligarchy
00:49:52.700
And that is the system we are rapidly moving toward
00:49:56.540
This is a budget that moves our country rapidly
00:50:23.580
Okay, for 32 years you're saying the same exact thing
00:50:34.280
He was saying the same thing during the Barack Obama administration
00:50:57.000
Is Jim Gaffigan gonna stop talking about Hot Pockets?
00:51:00.140
He's gonna make sure you get the Hot Pocket bit in there
00:51:16.500
All of that is the same boring analysis of the country that we've been hearing forever from socialists
00:51:27.680
He's someone who actually believes in socialism
00:51:34.920
A lot of people, you know, go in and out of certain concepts when they're popular
00:51:42.260
You know, when coming up with a brand new healthcare system is what they're gonna promote
00:51:48.380
But they're just gonna adopt the socialist policy for a time
00:52:05.500
When she was at Boston College or Boston University
00:52:08.380
Whichever one has been completely ruined by her reputation
00:52:27.080
You know, perhaps we are in the downfall of the broken way
00:53:08.480
And devolve into something completely different
00:53:43.600
And you've never seen a garbage disposal in your life
01:28:56.520
Wow, there have been a lot of assassination plots that have been uncovered lately.
01:29:01.580
We'll get into some of that coming up and much more in 60 seconds.
01:29:09.900
You know the secret of having great days, having better nights.
01:29:13.880
And if you're maybe someone who doesn't love their sleeping experience,
01:29:19.420
you need to start turning your bedroom into a sanctuary with Cozy Earth.
01:29:25.560
The softest, coolest, most luxurious sheets you'll ever own.
01:29:28.840
It's breathable, temperature-regulating, crafted to help you sleep like it actually matters.
01:29:35.360
Imagine crawling into bed every night and feeling restored and refreshed and ready to take on tomorrow.
01:29:40.680
And don't forget about their bamboo pajamas as well.
01:29:44.700
They are designed to help you fall asleep and stay asleep longer.
01:29:49.140
Their sleepwear upgrade that you didn't even know you needed, but you definitely deserve.
01:29:58.280
Plus, every bedding product is backed by a 10-year warranty.
01:30:02.660
So, you know, take your time to prioritize your sleep and prioritize you.
01:30:09.260
Use the exclusive code BECK, and you'll get up to 40% off sheets, pajamas, towels, and more.
01:30:17.060
And if you get a post-purchase survey, make sure you know, let them know that you heard about CozyEarth from this particular program, the Glenn Beck program.
01:30:25.740
With that code BECK, it's Sleep Better with CozyEarth.
01:30:32.420
To me, that does not sound like, I don't know, bamboo doesn't seem like the most comfortable material, you know?
01:30:40.120
I will tell you, when you touch these sheets, you know that apparently it is.
01:30:50.700
Have you been following the really tragic story of the 17-year-old Austin Metcalf that was stabbed in the heart at the track meet last week or the week before?
01:31:01.120
Again, another one of those, it's seemingly no reason at all.
01:31:05.060
Nothing, not that there ever is a justification for such a thing, but like sometimes you at least can come through some sort of logical process where it makes you able to understand it.
01:31:18.280
Apparently, the kid who stabbed him in the heart, Carmelo Anthony, was in the wrong place.
01:31:27.120
I feel like I have to say that every single time.
01:31:30.060
This is a different Carmelo Anthony, who's 17 years old.
01:31:33.360
And so, he was asked to leave and apparently said, touch me and see what happens and reached into his bag and pulled out a knife.
01:31:41.820
And I think Austin Metcalf did, in fact, touch him.
01:31:47.060
I think he touched him and got stabbed in the heart for it.
01:31:50.800
Now, he's claiming, Carmelo Anthony is claiming self-defense, which I don't know how you make that stick.
01:32:00.620
And so, we'll see what kind of plea he enters here.
01:32:05.720
But from what I understand, there's actual video of the event.
01:32:10.360
So, it should be pretty cut and dried, I guess, by the time this gets to trial.
01:32:16.960
Somebody either, I don't know if there was footage that came from the high schools or the track meet, or if somebody had cell phone footage of the incident.
01:32:26.980
But it will be able to tell pretty well what happened there.
01:32:44.320
So, it should not be that difficult to noodle this one out.
01:32:48.480
And, of course, lawyers always have to have an argument.
01:32:52.460
Whether it is the true argument is another story.
01:32:56.980
As to, I guess, self-defense, probably the most effective thing you can say in a moment like this.
01:33:01.620
However, when you have that amount of witnesses, it's not going to be tough.
01:33:05.900
And then in Wisconsin, there was a 17-year-old who murdered his parents.
01:33:14.460
And the weird part of that, other than the murder itself, is that it was part of a twisted plot to assassinate President Trump.
01:33:24.220
He allegedly killed his parents to obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary to also kill President Donald Trump and overthrow the U.S. government.
01:33:41.300
Nikita Kassip was arrested in March and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of hiding a corpse.
01:33:48.680
Other charges included theft of property over $10,000 and misappropriating ID to obtain money.
01:33:55.960
And the reason he was doing that was because he was planning to kill the president.
01:33:59.640
And this is all part of a weird effort by, I don't know, he's, they apparently found messages on his phone relating to the Order of Nine Angles.
01:34:19.180
It is a network of individuals holding neo-Nazi racially motivated extremist views.
01:34:33.800
And not the end of the assassination plots, either.
01:34:36.880
Then there's a, the FBI just arrested a man named Ali Akbar Mohammed Amin, just arrested by the FBI on Friday night after he made threats against both Donald Trump and Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.
01:35:16.520
It could have been, look, could have been internal Pyongyang, you know, issues.
01:35:27.640
But the FBI was not going to tolerate threats and they're going to hold offenders fully accountable.
01:35:33.540
People who make credible threats are going to be held accountable.
01:35:38.780
This is interesting, too, because it came just days after CNN dismissed credible threats against Tulsi Gabbard, suggesting that her attempts to hide the address of a Texas property she owns were actually part of an attempt to commit voter fraud.
01:35:55.180
Her office was a little upset with CNN for running a story because they doxed her.
01:36:09.120
You know, shouldn't we be a little more forgiving as a society when your family gets doxed?
01:36:21.840
CNN was investigating whether Gabbard committed fraud by voting in Hawaii, where she served in Congress and lived most of her life, after declaring a property her homestead in Texas.
01:36:34.680
Now, she did that because when you declare a homestead in Texas, you can keep your address confidential.
01:36:42.860
So, they apparently didn't buy into that, and so they released her address, and even though she had credible threats against her from Ali Akbar, for one, at least, and CNN apparently didn't care about that.
01:37:00.780
But, so, this is amazing how many of these people there are right now who have made threats against President Trump and administration officials, that it doesn't end there.
01:37:17.300
There's also a guy who goes by the name Mr. Satan on YouTube.
01:37:28.500
And he likes to be referred to as Mr. Satan, to you.
01:37:40.460
And his arrest came after he wrote on YouTube that all of Trump's appointments need to be killed.
01:37:52.520
Trump, Elon, and all the heads of agencies Trump appointed, and anyone who stands in the way.
01:37:59.920
Uh, that was done by, um, by this person in, in Butler, Pennsylvania.
01:38:05.680
Um, 32-year-old Sean Monper of Butler is accused of making these statements on social media about his intent to kill the president after stockpiling ammunition, weapons, and body armor.
01:38:20.020
And going by the moniker, Mr. Satan, he said, I have bought several guns and have been stocking up on ammo since Trump got in office.
01:38:34.680
A week later, the man allegedly wrote, I've been buying one gun a month since the election, body armor and ammo.
01:38:42.240
So, he was apparently, uh, very prepared to carry out this mass shooting that he intended to do.
01:38:49.720
I don't, uh, mean to continually bring this up today.
01:38:52.200
I apologize for it in advance here, Pat, but you've, you've got some speeding tickets in the past.
01:38:57.500
And really have brought it up several times today.
01:39:02.740
You seem to be a little obsessed with my speeding tickets.
01:39:05.040
I just think it's one of my, it's, it's the most charming thing about you for some reason.
01:39:09.940
I don't think of you as a person who would just get pulled over for speeding weekly.
01:39:14.180
Um, but like, it seemed to me for a time there, especially when we first moved to Texas, that every time you went one mile an hour over the speed limit, you got a speeding ticket.
01:39:27.240
I feel like if I roll through a stop sign, there's, there's the police say they've got the, they've got the lights going on.
01:39:32.760
This guy posted how many months apart that he was going to do a mass shooting and was buying weapons.
01:39:44.820
Did the Mr. Satan moniker not alert somebody that something was a little amiss?
01:39:50.260
I mean, not only is he Mr. Satan, but he's making threats against the president of the United States and every single person he appointed to a, uh, to an office.
01:40:00.160
So, yeah, you typically, when you say something like that in public, you get submissions.
01:40:04.440
I remember back in the 2016, uh, campaign cycle, we were doing a show, uh, and, um, in the other studio here and Glenn, who, I don't know if anyone's noticed this threatens my life regularly.
01:40:20.660
No one seems to be bothered at all by my life being threatened by Glenn.
01:40:24.840
And he, uh, once again, threatened my life on national radio and someone in the audience took it as a threat, not against me, but against one of the candidates.
01:40:40.040
And, but he, he, Glenn was, was saying something rude to me and like, just basically threatened my life.
01:40:46.120
But someone in the audience thought it was, he, he was saying that about Donald Trump that he was going to threaten.
01:40:52.540
And we, we had secret service contacting us almost immediately.
01:41:01.980
And it was like, again, like as soon as they got here, they saw the context of it.
01:41:05.660
They, they realized it was moronic, but still they were that dedicated to make sure a presidential candidate was not, uh, you can't just threaten a presidential candidate or a president or a member of the cabinet.
01:41:18.420
And then add onto the fact that I don't know if anyone noticed Donald Trump was almost murdered on stage, almost murdered at his golf course.
01:41:26.140
His cabinet officials have also had many threats against them.
01:41:31.760
And you'd think it would rise to the level that someone would notice a social media public post.
01:41:41.680
Cause he also, he also posted, remember we are the majority.
01:41:49.360
Obviously that's not true since, uh, I don't know.
01:41:51.800
The president won the election and the popular vote.
01:41:53.900
And by the time it's time to make the move, they will be weakened.
01:41:58.160
Many will be crushed by these policies and they will want revenge to American revolution 2.0.
01:42:07.460
He had plenty of opportunity to post messages on YouTube and social media and, uh, took a while.
01:42:14.860
I guess you can understand though, in a certain circle, how he would think that it would be okay to say.
01:42:23.760
President Trump, certainly in not only in just digital form, but also an actual form has been, uh, you know, hit with a bullet literally.
01:42:35.000
I mean, you see after the conversation we had last hour about the, the guy who killed the United healthcare CEO, there's certain circles where this stuff just gets praised.
01:42:44.240
Like, you're a great person if you do these things.
01:42:58.800
Uh, like most adults, practically your whole life is spent trying to turn some form of chaos into some form of order.
01:43:06.180
Uh, you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders and it's perfectly understandable that, you know, when that day is, you know, it's time.
01:43:20.320
This is an all-natural sleep aid from the makers of Relief Factor.
01:43:31.060
It's drug-free, non-habit forming, and it is designed to work with your body's own sleep rhythm.
01:43:39.660
That's, that's what you need because sleep shouldn't be a struggle.
01:43:43.400
And that's the place you go to, to kind of, to, to recuperate after a long day.
01:43:52.200
If you're having trouble sleeping, you're going to love Z-Factor because it's time for you to remember, you know, just what real sleep actually feels like.
01:43:59.200
First time Z-Factor buyers will enjoy a 46% savings right now.
01:44:36.100
Federal Election Commission looking into suspicious Act Blue donations.
01:44:46.780
That she's done anything improper or inappropriate.
01:44:51.420
You know, I wouldn't necessarily always recommend a pardon to Donald Trump, but this one I would.
01:44:59.220
If she did something terrible, let her keep going.
01:45:01.160
Whatever you need to keep her in the public eye, you figure out a way to do it.
01:45:13.860
So, apparently, the respondents will be notified of the complaint within five business days.
01:45:23.180
You'll be notified as soon as the FEC takes final action on your client's complaint.
01:45:29.320
Should you receive any additional information in this matter, please forward it to the office.
01:45:33.640
So, she's already been warned that they are investigating right now.
01:45:41.480
The bigger picture is that Crockett's campaign received $870,000 in total donations through Act-Q.
01:45:53.100
I mean, seriously, it's a drop in the bucket to Act-Blue.
01:45:55.860
Because they had, didn't they have a war chest of something like $2 billion or something?
01:46:00.940
This is kind of like the central clearinghouse for all Democratic donations.
01:46:07.980
They've had some issues, some questions about their practices.
01:46:10.860
And where some of this money is coming from, like foreigners, coming from foreign sources.
01:46:18.880
But Representative Crockett, through her principal campaign committee, Respondent Jasmine for U.S.,
01:46:26.980
has received thousands of other donations through Act-Blue, totaling over $870,000.
01:46:32.680
It is unclear how many of these are similarly fraudulent transactions made in the name of unsuspecting, innocent people who did not actually provide the funds.
01:46:44.040
Now, this has been a charge leveled at Act-Blue for a while.
01:46:49.480
But I haven't seen Jasmine Crockett connected with it until just recently.
01:47:10.860
She's, I mean, almost every day she's been cooking up something.
01:47:16.920
And she's not alone in, among Democrats, getting donations through the Act-Blue portal.
01:47:23.220
Republican state attorneys general, as well as the GOP-controlled House Oversight and Accountability Committee,
01:47:29.860
opened an investigation into their fundraising practices.
01:47:34.200
If they found something a little bit unusual going on at Act-Blue, what a stunning surprise
01:47:47.040
I'm blown away, Pat, that anything untoward could possibly be even considered with Act-Blue.
01:47:56.480
And I'm sure every penny has come just completely legitimately.
01:48:04.120
I mean, you talk about all the corruption, obviously, here, potentially, arguably, allegedly,
01:48:10.500
I mean, we also, the Josh Shapiro thing is another one.
01:48:14.620
Somebody tried to set his house on fire or something?
01:48:17.640
He was apparently woken up in the middle of the night.
01:48:19.660
The Democratic governor of Pennsylvania, by the way.
01:48:24.000
There is, I believe, an arrest already made as a person of interest or something like
01:48:32.560
They're woken up by the police who said, hey, your house is on fire.
01:48:39.540
Like, I mean, you never, you can't take an ideology, a side of the aisle, and say, well,
01:48:46.260
everyone on that side of the aisle never, you know, does some horrible thing like an
01:48:52.500
I will say, if it is someone on the conservative side, they will not be lionized for it.
01:48:58.920
They will not be like, oh, it was good that he did that.
01:49:01.620
The other side of this is, I can't help going back to the very violent group of people who
01:49:07.220
oppose Josh Shapiro, not because he's a Democrat, but because he's Jewish.
01:49:12.040
And we've seen that sort of violence all over our campuses.
01:49:16.780
And, you know, he was apparently having Passover dinner.
01:49:19.520
One of the, you know, one of the Jewish traditions that he had talked about.
01:49:25.380
It seems like it could be tied to that as well.
01:49:34.180
You know, those Biden price increases didn't just go away, even though the inflation level
01:49:42.160
Countries around the world, including our biggest rivals, are moving away from the U.S.
01:49:47.020
Gold and silver have been on the kind of like the fringe.
01:49:51.380
People used to be like, oh, gosh, gold and silver.
01:49:54.160
No, this has been a hedge against this kind of chaos for thousands of years.
01:50:00.880
They don't evaporate when the stock market crashes.
01:50:09.040
Glenn's been talking about them for a very long time and make it simple to move a portion
01:50:12.940

Next president of the United States of America, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith is one possibility.
01:51:36.640
Although it does seem like celebrity can do some things for you in elections, right?
01:51:42.720
It is, I would say, an important, increasingly important thing.
01:51:48.140
It would be really interesting if an ESPN host became president of the United States.
01:51:56.460
But, I mean, look, we obviously have a current president who is a, you would say the same thing.
01:52:04.240
If you have those, if you have the right beliefs and you have the right energy and people get
01:52:12.800
And Stephen A. Smith, too, is, he's kind of running, or not running, but he's considering
01:52:17.180
a run based on the idea, kind of, that the left has gone insane, right?
01:52:25.860
But he's saying basically, like, we need someone who's going to, you know, who's going to be
01:52:32.620
Which, again, those words don't go together very well.
01:52:37.360
But here's what he had to say about running for president, cut eight.
01:52:43.560
I saw Steve Bannon was on with Bill Maher, and he was asked what Democrats he worries
01:52:48.340
The only name he mentioned as a Democrat, he'd be worried about.
01:52:51.520
So are you, are you really, are you really thinking about running for president?
01:52:56.520
Listen, I've been, I have no choice because I've had elected officials, and I'm not going
01:53:01.920
to give their names, elected officials coming up to me.
01:53:07.200
I've had folks that got a lot of money, billionaires and others that have talked to me about exploratory
01:53:29.860
People, literally, people have walked up to me, including my own pastor, for crying
01:53:34.000
out loud, who has said to me, you don't know what God has planned for you.
01:53:37.800
At least show the respect to the people who believe in you, who respect you, who believe
01:53:42.500
that you can make a difference in this country, to leave the door open for any possibilities
01:53:54.480
Because of his opinions on LeBron James versus Michael Jordan?
01:54:00.980
Why do people believe that Stephen A. Smith can run for president and be a viable alternative?
01:54:16.420
And I will say, the Stephen A. Smith thing, I wouldn't say that I follow everything that
01:54:23.160
If he runs for president, I will have an addendum to that policy.
01:54:27.960
But he, my impression of Stephen A. Smith is that a good chunk of the stuff that he
01:54:34.600
says, I, you know, is, oh gosh, like you play it.
01:54:39.320
We would play a clip of Stephen A. Smith and be like, can you believe what this guy said?
01:54:42.400
And then there's another piece of the Stephen A. Smith audio that would be like, can you
01:54:54.220
Like we're like some, a lot of the, if you actually watch Bill Maher for an hour every
01:55:00.100
Your, your impression as a conservative is going to be, this is a real liberal.
01:55:02.860
But like every single week, the conservative media industry goes through with a fine tooth
01:55:10.340
comb and pulls out the eight things he says that are, that are like anti-woke.
01:55:14.680
Or, you know, and we see, and they get flooded on conservative media.
01:55:18.280
I mean, look, Bill, Bill Maher still is nowhere close to a person that I would want as president.
01:55:22.480
I don't think Stephen, I don't know enough about Stephen A. Smith's politics, honestly
01:55:25.840
to know, but I don't think I would be aligned with him either.
01:55:29.840
But he does seem to occasionally say something like saying.
01:55:37.020
He's right though, in that he just did sign a pretty good agreement with, with ESPN.
01:55:51.400
And they lay out, you know, I read a decent amount of sports stuff and a lot, there was a
01:55:57.120
lot of complaining about the people they let go at ESPN recently.
01:56:00.640
You know, kind of experts and, and they're, cause they're going after, he's an entertainer
01:56:04.260
and Stephen A. Smith, I'm sure he's a smart sports guy, fully stand with him 100% in whatever
01:56:09.460
argument he had with LeBron James a few weeks ago.
01:56:16.460
Um, but like he is, you know, there, there are very few people who can arrest the media
01:56:25.340
And I think if I was a Democrat and watched Joe Biden perform terribly, watched Kamala
01:56:30.860
Harris flail, uh, watched Hillary Clinton lose to Donald Trump, you could see a portion
01:56:37.840
Look at how he arrests the media cycle and how Donald Trump does it.
01:56:43.920
And draw the, draw the conclusion that maybe he's the Democrat Trump.
01:56:49.480
Again, I don't know that that's true, but he might be, he does fly, I think in the face
01:56:53.300
occasionally of democratic orthodoxy, which is the same thing where Trump did.
01:56:58.480
Um, he was able, he's always able to kind of, again, why would we care what he says
01:57:02.560
about Bronny James or whatever that controversy was from a few weeks ago, but it did kind of
01:57:09.040
I think it was, I think it was about Bronny, right?
01:57:12.280
LeBron's son and how he, I don't know, said something about him in the NBA and I, you're
01:57:18.540
not supposed to, LeBron took issue with it because you're not supposed to talk about people's
01:57:29.600
So it's like a, it's like a political figure whose, whose kids have entered the campaign.
01:57:36.860
Of course, you're going to take on, you're going to take them on now because they're
01:57:41.760
Well, Bronny James is in the NBA or was at least, I don't know.
01:57:48.620
I think they called them two, two way players where they play kind of in both.
01:57:52.060
I believe he like sits on the bench when they have home games, you know what I mean?
01:57:56.340
And then, but he jumps in occasionally and, you know, he plays every once in a while.
01:58:03.320
It's obviously like, I will say that with the Lakers, he's still with the Lakers.
01:58:06.480
Can I give you a little bit of an alternative take I've been working on?
01:58:09.440
This is going to sound like a Stephen A. Smith hot take, but it's not.
01:58:12.920
I think Bronny James is a pretty good pick by the Lakers.
01:58:23.840
Look at the people who were drafted around him.
01:58:29.480
You don't get superstars late in the second round.
01:58:35.780
Now you can pick and Jokic was a second round pick occasionally every once in a very great while.
01:58:41.680
Do you find somebody who winds up being a star?
01:58:44.660
Yeah, it's not like the NFL where you can get a late round pick and you're going to find Tom Brady.
01:58:51.440
And, you know, if you're lucky, you get a rotational player who plays a few minutes here and there,
01:58:56.800
maybe does one thing well, plays defense, you know, hit a corner three, whatever.
01:59:07.540
He's the son of LeBron James, who I can't stand.
01:59:17.700
But he's averaging like over 20 points a game in the G League.
01:59:26.120
He's one of the better players drafted within 10 picks of that position.
01:59:29.600
And add on to that, he's selling God only knows how many jerseys.
01:59:36.060
Every time he comes into the game, if he makes a shot, the crowd goes insane.
01:59:39.540
They don't leave when he comes in in a blowout.
01:59:44.400
It probably helps them keep LeBron James, who I will say, as much as I can't stand him,
01:59:50.100
is pretty freaking impressive at 40 whatever years old playing the way he is.
01:59:56.460
And honestly, like, would you be completely stunned if Bronny James becomes a rotational
02:00:11.660
He's certainly going to get the absolute best instruction.
02:00:15.120
He's going to get the absolute best medical care.
02:00:17.840
He's going to be pushed to train at probably incredibly high levels.
02:00:22.500
And he's got millions and millions and millions of followers.
02:00:27.480
You're getting all those weird side business benefits from the guy.
02:00:40.900
No, I don't think I, if I remember right, I don't even think he's on the team anymore.
02:00:45.760
So like, like, and the other thing about it was really frustrating.
02:00:49.460
This is getting a little bit deep into sports, but like the Celtics picked the pick.
02:00:53.320
The ultimate rival of the Los Angeles Lakers picked the pick before Bronny James.
02:00:58.920
How did you not just pick him to screw with the Lakers and LeBron?
02:01:02.540
I don't care if you played him for one minute just to screw with your arch rivals.
02:01:09.500
Like if, I don't know, I'm trying to, like, I'm a big Eagles fan.
02:01:16.380
If Dak Prescott's nephew was there with the last pick in the draft and Dak Prescott wanted him there so bad, I would do it just to screw with him.
02:01:27.880
Instead, everyone was like, oh gosh, LeBron James wants his son.
02:01:35.220
You're supposed to be competing with this team, not helping them.
02:01:38.560
And apparently the Dallas Mavericks have, don't understand that concept either.
02:01:46.180
So anyway, there's your sports rant of the day.
02:01:48.080
But you knew a lot more about the LeBron James situation than I did.
02:02:08.440
It's a daily supplement designed to support your body's fight against inflammation, which is one of the most common sources of pain.
02:02:18.280
It's backed by scientific research, and it's helped hundreds of thousands of people get their lives back.
02:02:23.600
It targets the pain from the inside out using all natural ingredients.
02:02:29.820
It's pretty impressive, and it doesn't make you feel worse.
02:02:33.080
Some of these things, these quote-unquote solutions are worse than the cure.
02:02:37.820
Just relief from the pain that has been bogging you down and stealing your ability to even just enjoy your day.
02:02:44.660
Most people who try it find relief within a few weeks, and that's why they offer the three-week quick start.
02:02:53.260
You can figure it out without wasting your money.
02:02:59.920
It's less than a dollar a day, so it's not a big risk here.
02:03:03.140
Call 1-800-4-RELIEF, 1-800-4-RELIEF, 800-4-RELIEF, 4-RELIEF-FACTOR.
02:03:12.060
You know, the left's got a roadmap straight off a cliff.
02:03:58.060
The Celtics guy who was picked a pick before him was signed in August by the Celtics and then released in March.
02:04:15.940
The guy who was picked after him is also with the Knicks, by the way.
02:04:19.020
He's averaging, I believe, 1.5 points per game and has done the same thing.
02:04:25.480
The other guy is averaging 0.7 points per game.
02:04:29.480
I mean, it's an incredible achievement to make it to that level of basketball.
02:04:37.180
I mean, how many followers does Bronny James have on Instagram?
02:04:54.220
And why would these other franchises give them this moment?
02:05:06.620
You should have just come in there and took him just out of spite.
02:05:09.760
Just out of spite and just sat him on the bench.
02:05:19.480
I bet you anything Adam Silver told them not to do it.
02:05:24.320
I don't know if that part of it is true, but I do think that is why it happened.
02:05:27.760
Why wouldn't, if you had a flyer to take late in a draft, why wouldn't you take the son of a top player,
02:05:34.400
even though I don't think he's near the top one player of all time, but he's probably a top 10 guy of all time, maybe, on the Lakers.
02:05:51.100
I mean, you could, yes, and you have made the case.
02:05:56.100
Frankly, and just, you know, again, these are businesses.
02:06:01.240
Watch a highlight, and they will show you the highlights on ESPN.
02:06:04.600
Do they show that of any of these other people?
02:06:06.380
Do they get the highlights on ESPN when they get into the game?
02:06:10.440
The crowd acts like they just won the championship.
02:06:19.620
He hasn't, but he's played well in the secondary league, which is all you can hope for for a guy at that point in the draft.
02:06:23.760
What is he averaged, 20 points in the G League?
02:06:39.640
Also, in other sports news, Rory McIlroy finally won a Masters tournament.
02:06:47.620
I don't really follow that very closely, but it's kind of cool because he's won all the other majors.
02:06:54.080
But this is, now he's got a career, what are they, Grand Slam or whatever it is.
02:07:01.420
Career Grand Slam, which is kind of like a newish type of thing, which basically.
02:07:07.580
Because nobody wins the actual Grand Slam anymore, so now it's got to be a career one.
02:07:11.800
That's too hard to do it all in one year, so now it's Career Slam, which in tennis, they do that too.
02:07:17.760
They won all four of them, which is an absolutely incredible achievement.
02:07:22.880
It's just not the Grand Slam, which is basically impossible at this point, it seems.
02:07:35.880
And you think in golf especially, it seems to me, I'm not a huge golf fan.
02:07:41.560
I mean, I'll tune in for the last round of the Masters occasionally, you know, but.
02:07:44.860
When Tiger played, I paid more attention to it.
02:07:47.040
But like, it is, it does seem to me, as an outsider, to be pretty random.
02:07:51.120
Like, you can say, okay, one of these 20 guys is probably going to win.
02:07:54.740
You know, you might be, and like, you know, Scheffler's been one of the best golfers over the past few years
02:08:00.440
But still, like, the fact that he comes in fourth or fifth is, again, an amazing achievement.
02:08:11.600
And he hadn't won in 11 years or something, so.
