Transcript

00:00:00.000 This winter, take a trip to Tampa on Porter Airlines.
00:00:05.400 Enjoy the warm Tampa Bay temperatures and warm Porter hospitality on your way there.
00:00:11.360 All Porter fares include beer, wine, and snacks, and free, fast-streaming Wi-Fi on planes with no middle seats.
00:00:18.780 And your Tampa Bay vacation includes good times, relaxation, and great Gulf Coast weather.
00:00:25.160 Visit flyporter.com and actually enjoy economy.
00:00:30.000 So we won the election.
00:00:31.160 That's great news.
00:00:31.880 But it is only the start of the journey, as I think you are going to know by the end of today's show.
00:00:38.900 This isn't the end of it.
00:00:39.860 This is the beginning.
00:00:40.780 And we have to rebuild our nation, turn it back into what made it great in the first place.
00:00:44.380 And part of that means continuing to build the parallel economy that we've all been building right here for years at this point.
00:00:51.420 But we also need to continue to help those that are helping us expose the lies, the corruption, graft.
00:00:57.140 We need to support those who are putting their money and their time where their mouth is, helping us clean house, and support those in local and state office that will stand with common sense in the Constitution.
00:01:08.800 That's why you should switch your mobile phone service over to Patriot Mobile, because that's what they do.
00:01:13.700 They not only give you a great service, I think better customer service, exactly the same cell coverage, you will save money, but they do all of the other stuff too.
00:01:24.160 They are standing with us.
00:01:25.600 We need to stand with them.

00:02:44.600 Hello, America. We've got a lot to cover today.
00:02:50.200 In fact, I think I'm going to have to add an extra hour to the show online
00:02:53.580 because I have just so much, I'm just not going to be able to get to all of it.
00:02:58.720 Today, we are going to begin with exposing mental illness
00:03:01.940 and having a very frank conversation about what the hell our government is doing.
00:03:06.160 I have to tell you, our revolution was at the voter polls in November.
00:03:16.380 Their revolution is still yet to come.
00:03:19.680 We are in, we're in, well, I'll explain here in just a second.
00:03:24.460 Also, taxation without representation. Yeah, it sounds like it to me.
00:03:29.000 Epstein files were not released yesterday. We'll have an update on that.
00:03:32.640 And Doge, the guys in Congress that are actually overseeing it,
00:03:37.100 going to be on the program today.

00:04:37.660 All right.
00:04:39.160 I would like you to stay with me as long as you possibly can today.
00:04:43.480 This is a really important show.
00:04:45.280 And if you miss any of it, please go get the podcast after the broadcast.
00:04:50.280 You need to hear this.
00:04:51.620 And I want you to feel the full weight of all of the topics that I'm going to discuss today.
00:04:56.040 Christopher Rufo just ripped the lid off of something so vile, so utterly perverse,
00:05:03.460 that it made my skin crawl last night.
00:05:07.500 Let me start here.
00:05:09.220 What five things did you work on last week at work?
00:05:12.760 Could you tell your boss?
00:05:15.200 Because I could.
00:05:16.660 I could tell, you know, more than five things pretty quickly.
00:05:19.760 What did you work on last week?
00:05:22.720 How hard would it be to write out in bullet points, not a dissertation, in bullet points,
00:05:28.240 what you worked on?
00:05:30.300 Now, let me ask you, how hard would it be if you weren't really working?
00:05:34.320 Or if you were wasting your time in private chat rooms using the most secure servers and channels
00:05:41.220 to discuss your perversions, that'd be pretty tough.
00:05:46.440 Well, I discussed my perversions online.
00:05:49.360 That's probably not a bullet point that'll go over well.
00:05:52.700 Listen to what Christopher Rufo exposed.
00:05:55.000 Our spies at the NSA, the CIA, the DIA, the people we trust and pay to be sources of quality information
00:06:06.520 and to protect us.
00:06:08.740 We now know they have been on systems that we pay for, talking about, and I'm quoting,
00:06:16.100 And by the way, this is not some basement chat room that they're on.
00:06:38.060 This is Intelink.
00:06:40.080 This is our secure government network.
00:06:43.940 This is what our spies use to talk to one another to make sure we have privacy
00:06:51.900 and we don't have anybody hacking in.
00:06:55.420 So I guess the upside is, I guess none of these people could be blackmailed by China or anything else
00:07:00.920 because hopefully China hasn't hacked into Intelink.
00:07:06.600 And they're doing it at work during the day.
00:07:11.320 While you're breaking your back every day to earn a living and pay taxes, how hard do you work?
00:07:19.400 Can you list five things you did last week?
00:07:22.800 How many hours did you grind out just to see your tax dollars funneled to Washington in this cesspool?
00:07:29.980 So you know, these are not random clowns.
00:07:33.620 These are not just a few, a handful of perverts.
00:07:36.520 They're spies.
00:07:38.020 They're supposed to be watching our enemies, not drooling over their own mental illness,
00:07:42.660 and that's what it is.
00:07:43.900 Make no mistake about it.
00:07:45.500 It is mental illness, plain and simple, and we have got to start calling that now.
00:07:50.440 No more sugarcoating.
00:07:51.800 No more excuses.
00:07:52.860 They are typing sick mental illness garbage on our dime, on our clock, hundreds of times
00:08:03.400 while claiming it's diversity work.
00:08:07.140 Hmm.
00:08:07.640 Is it?
00:08:08.860 The NSA called it critical diversity work.
00:08:12.200 Oh.
00:08:13.080 Critical to what exactly?
00:08:14.940 Our collapse?
00:08:15.940 Do you think any of this stops on its own, gang?
00:08:22.520 Do you think any of this is just like, oh, you know what?
00:08:26.040 We shouldn't have done that.
00:08:27.880 Do you think it stops on its own?
00:08:29.940 It won't.
00:08:30.900 Unless we scream from every corner of our country.
00:08:35.060 The left, the right, it doesn't matter.
00:08:38.440 However, this kind of activity, this perversion on our dime, if it's not crushed, we're done.
00:08:47.100 We're lost.
00:08:48.160 We're finished.
00:08:50.900 We have handed our intelligence agencies over to a bunch of degenerates who can't keep their
00:08:59.020 minds out of the gutter long enough to do their damn job.
00:09:04.160 By the way, I'm going to do it.
00:09:06.440 I'm going to do it, gang.
00:09:07.560 I'm going to bring it up.
00:09:09.000 History has echoes of this.
00:09:12.420 He's not going to say Nazis.
00:09:14.100 Yes, I'm going to say the Nazis.
00:09:16.240 They didn't just kill and conquer.
00:09:18.420 Their ranks were rotten with corruption and depravity.
00:09:23.340 SS officers hoarded, looted wealth.
00:09:27.500 The high-ups like Goering lived in obscene luxury, wearing women's clothing at night while
00:09:33.560 preaching purity.
00:09:34.620 Some, like Ernest Romm, who was the head of the stormtroopers, the SA, they were steeped
00:09:42.520 in personal scandals.
00:09:44.000 His SA was a hotbed of homosexuality, cross-dressing, perverse behavior until Hitler purged it.
00:09:53.120 But he didn't do it for morality reasons.
00:09:55.840 He did it for power.
00:09:58.740 And then he said these people were perverse and sick and they were plotting against our
00:10:03.940 country.
00:10:04.500 And so he killed them all for power, not morality.
00:10:08.280 That society ended in rubble, burned out by its own excesses as much as Allied bombing.
00:10:18.660 Take Rome, the late Republic.
00:10:23.280 Senators were drowning in orgies and graft while the state crumbled.
00:10:28.480 It fell apart, overrun by enemies that it couldn't face anymore.
00:10:37.300 When your guardians turn inward, they are obsessed with their own filth.
00:10:42.840 The walls will not hold.
00:10:46.500 And that's us right now.
00:10:48.500 We are standing, gazing into the abyss.
00:10:52.600 You know, when we voted for Donald Trump, we thought we knew how bad it was.
00:10:58.960 When we lost in 2020, we thought we knew how bad it was.
00:11:06.200 And then more was revealed to us by their own actions, right?
00:11:10.080 They started teaching this crap, this mental illness to our children.
00:11:14.820 And that's what started to wake us up.
00:11:16.620 And then we started seeing everything.
00:11:18.100 And they just kept dogpiling more and more and more.
00:11:21.060 And then, by the time we got to this election, a lot of Americans, who weren't necessarily for Trump, voted for Trump because they're like, okay, this is really bad.
00:11:30.420 But now that we're actually in it, now that we're actually exposing and just beginning to peel the carpet back,
00:11:39.520 Oh my gosh, we are seeing the infection and the bugs and the cockroaches that I didn't think we would find.
00:11:50.400 Our spies are too busy playing sick games of, I'm now a female, I'm now a male, and I just love urinating out of my new vagina.
00:12:06.700 That's what's actually happening online, on our secure servers, on your time.
00:12:13.400 Let me just give you the historic context here.
00:12:21.600 These are just the facts.
00:12:23.140 Nazi Germany, beyond ideology, corruption, perverse indulgence.
00:12:28.920 That's what that regime was all about.
00:12:31.480 Leaders exploited slave labor profits and then engaged in documented debauchery.
00:12:38.220 What was the outcome?
00:12:39.020 Total collapse 1945, moral and physical ruin.
00:12:46.040 The Roman Empire, elite corruption, sexual excess, bribery, weakened governance, teaching men that they should be more like women.
00:12:58.640 Outcome, destruction.
00:13:02.360 Transition to an empire, then eventually they fall to the barbarians.
00:13:06.980 Weimar Germany.
00:13:09.020 They weren't Nazis.
00:13:11.780 Pre-Nazi decadence in Berlin.
00:13:13.880 Cabarets, vice, drugs.
00:13:16.340 It all fueled the instability.
00:13:19.000 Outcome, Nazi takeover, then destruction.
00:13:23.900 Now, no parallel exists in history that exactly lines up
00:13:30.960 because we didn't have online systems where the government spies could be chatting about their fetishes.
00:13:42.040 But the pattern, internal rot, undermining duty, undermining honor, undermining our country,
00:13:51.400 always ends in societal collapse.
00:13:55.400 This isn't new.
00:13:56.220 This is just our turn to face it.
00:14:00.960 I'm going to give you a few things today, and this is just one, the depravity.
00:14:10.840 And if you and your friends aren't sickened by this, I question you.
00:14:21.600 I do.
00:14:22.140 If you can't admit that this is a mental illness, I question you.
00:14:31.280 You know, we live in a world of shame, no longer a world of guilt.
00:14:40.140 That's a very important distinction.
00:14:44.460 We live in a world of shame.
00:14:47.100 Our country is all about shame.
00:14:48.980 Whatever the collective says, shame, well, you're done.
00:14:56.640 It doesn't rely on personal guilt.
00:14:59.400 It doesn't have anything to do with the individual going,
00:15:01.980 geez, I shouldn't be doing this.
00:15:03.620 That's not what we do anymore.
00:15:05.940 We're more like those who say, round up the witches.
00:15:09.460 Look at what they're doing at night in the woods.
00:15:14.480 They're witches.
00:15:16.260 Shame.
00:15:17.460 Tie them to a stake and burn them.
00:15:20.540 Those societies always collapse.
00:15:23.600 Always.
00:15:24.240 Because they always go into craziness.
00:15:29.600 And then they go into totalitarianism.
00:15:32.220 We're no longer, our country was built on the fact that we were people that understood guilt, not shame.
00:15:45.180 Guilt.
00:15:46.580 Personal guilt.
00:15:48.300 You've done something and it bothers you.
00:15:50.640 And you can't sleep at night.
00:15:52.020 And you're like, this isn't right.
00:15:54.620 Do you think these people in Washington have that at all going for them?
00:15:59.360 Do you think any of them?
00:16:00.280 You know, Orrin Hatch told me one time, I have never met a man, and boy, this is something coming from him.
00:16:06.180 This was something.
00:16:07.200 I've never met a man who went to Washington and left a better man than what he was when he arrived.
00:16:19.020 That should tell you something.
00:16:22.100 Why is that?
00:16:24.360 It's an absolute cesspool.
00:16:26.980 And it's being done with your money.
00:16:34.040 Now, I have a comment on the lack of transparency.
00:16:40.000 I'm not going to, you can hold me to what I said would happen on Kash Patel's first day.
00:16:45.040 You can hold me to that.
00:16:46.100 But I'm not holding him to my standard.
00:16:48.600 I still believe these things are going to come out.
00:16:53.980 And they better.
00:16:55.560 And they better.
00:16:56.260 And I have a comment on this.
00:17:00.400 Because I think it goes right into the depravity I was just talking to you about.
00:17:06.300 And it must stop 60 seconds away.
00:17:09.760 First travel season is coming up.
00:17:11.620 Spring break is right around the corner.
00:17:13.140 And the summer's not too far away after that.
00:17:15.640 If you're going to places with your family on vacation, may I recommend you take the Jace Go with you.
00:17:21.680 It's from the makers of the Jace case.
00:17:23.380 And it's a compact, reliable case filled with all the emergency travel medications designed to keep you on track no matter where you go.
00:17:30.280 If you're traveling, you know, and you have what my grandmother used to call the quick steps, you got something for it.
00:17:36.300 You get food poisoning, you got something for it.
00:17:39.080 You have everything you need already, and you don't have to search around for a doctor or for a CVS store, you know, that you don't know where they are in the middle of the night.
00:17:49.580 These kinds of things happen to the best of us, and you might as well be prepared for them.
00:17:53.540 I wonder if maybe we could talk to Jace and they can get a sexually transmitted disease kit in case you find yourself employed or visiting Washington, D.C.
00:18:02.400 This is not just about the convenience, it's about peace of mind.
00:18:06.960 Whether the issue is distance or availability, whether you're traveling in this country or a 4-in-1, Jace Go will ensure that you are covered.
00:18:16.020 Please, this year, travel smarter and stay prepared.

00:18:26.560 Promo code BECK.
00:18:28.040 10 seconds.
00:18:28.800 Station ID.
00:18:32.400 Okay, so there is a story.
00:18:42.340 I think it's in Newsweek today.
00:18:44.020 Who even knew that was still available?
00:18:47.340 But they were bringing up today in Newsweek that hundreds of pages of court documents which name people with the Epstein scandal have been unsealed.
00:19:01.140 Many people are not accused of any wrongdoing, and those names are already public.
00:19:07.480 But on the campaign trail, President Trump suggested he was open to releasing the Epstein client list.
00:19:14.160 And from what we know, there are some real names on that list.
00:19:19.080 At CPAC, Bondi was asked by a conservative commentator, Benny Johnson, about when the list would be released.
00:19:27.660 She said soon.
00:19:29.720 She had been briefed on it, was not able to talk about it publicly, but added that Trump's directive was going to be followed.
00:19:35.560 Shortly after this, conservatives and Trump supporters cheered Bondi's comments.
00:19:41.460 Today, there are people in the Senate and the House saying, when is that coming out?
00:19:46.640 Why hasn't that come out yet?
00:19:48.860 There's a list of people now in Congress and the Senate, and that is good news, that are demanding that it is out.
00:19:57.240 Here's what this really boils down to.
00:20:00.160 Like Elon Musk, I could boil it down not to five bullet points.
00:20:06.280 I just want one.
00:20:07.620 I just want an answer to one question.
00:20:11.660 That's it.
00:20:13.160 And it is imperative that we all ask this one question of our government and demand the evidence.
00:20:22.160 Here it is.
00:20:23.120 Do you have in your possession, does your agency have in possession, or have you seen evidence of images or videos of publicly known people having sex or being in compromising positions with children?
00:20:45.540 Now, I can't believe we have to ask that.
00:20:48.860 But apparently we do.
00:20:50.700 Does anyone in this government have any evidence of all, at all, of anyone that is a known figure, especially those in government or positions of power,
00:21:07.420 that show them in compromising positions with children or those underage?
00:21:18.340 Yes or no?
00:21:19.400 It's not that hard.
00:21:21.480 Yes or no?
00:21:23.780 And if you have them, release them.
00:21:28.920 How is this country not outraged by what is going on with our children?
00:21:37.100 How is it we're not all standing up and saying, I want to know?
00:21:40.760 I demand justice.
00:21:47.840 I want to know, Epstein.
00:21:49.580 I want to know, Diddy.
00:21:51.000 Why are these people still influencing us?
00:21:54.880 Why are the people that went to those parties or that island or that plane still influencing us and allowed to be walking around?
00:22:04.240 Well, I'll tell you why.
00:22:08.680 Because our intelligence agencies are so perverted and so mentally ill that they probably don't have a problem with it.
00:22:18.660 Just look at what they were saying to each other on the country's secure network for Intel.
00:22:28.220 Look what they were saying to one another when they were at work.
00:22:33.220 Taking your tax dollars.
00:22:37.740 All right.
00:22:44.180 I'm going to shift gears.
00:22:47.100 But I don't know if your mood's going to improve much.
00:22:52.340 Because I want to delve a little deeper into, hey, can you give me five bullet points?
00:23:00.480 Just five bullet points.
00:23:02.140 What did you do last week?
00:23:06.500 I'd like to get into that in a minute.
00:23:17.900 Some people really...
00:23:19.340 This is Glenn Beck.
00:23:20.820 Yeah, that's me.
00:23:21.380 Some people really like to live on the edge.
00:23:24.220 I don't.
00:23:25.320 Jump out of airplanes.
00:23:26.640 Nope.
00:23:26.940 No reason to do that.
00:23:28.440 Go mountain climbing.
00:23:29.720 Especially without a rope.
00:23:31.240 No.
00:23:32.020 Uh-uh.
00:23:32.860 Uh-uh.
00:23:34.060 Invest your money in everything other than safety nets like precious metals.
00:23:41.940 Just roll the dice on the stock market and the economy.
00:23:44.520 Man, it looks like it's getting worse and worse.
00:23:46.400 You know what?
00:23:47.060 I'm not going to hedge my bet at all.
00:23:49.700 Please don't be one of these people.
00:23:51.380 Your future and your family's future are too important.
00:23:54.140 The U.S. dollar is in too much danger of further depreciation for you just to adopt the wait and see approach.
00:24:01.380 Wait until you hear what I have for you in hour three about what's happening with Russia.
00:24:04.820 Forget about all the stuff with what's-his-name-from-France.
00:24:11.280 Ho, ho, ho.
00:24:11.980 I'm with the president and we agree on so much.
00:24:14.940 Shut up.
00:24:16.120 Let me tell you what's really going on.
00:24:17.660 You should call Lear Capital today.
00:24:21.960 Invest.
00:24:22.820 Cover yourself in the precious metals department.
00:24:25.740 This is not the time to sit on the sidelines.
00:24:28.180 You should be owning at least some gold or silver.
00:24:30.380 Call them 800-957-GOLD.
00:24:32.800 800-957-GOLD.
00:24:35.220 Call them now.
00:24:36.960 Jump on your secure government computer and go to blazetv.com slash Glenn.
00:24:40.860 You can sign up for Blaze TV and save 20 bucks with the promo code Glenn.
00:25:00.040 888-727-BECK.
00:25:05.140 Man, I was up all night.
00:25:06.860 My heart was pounding because there are so many stories today that I need to get to and
00:25:14.540 we're going to and I'm going to add an hour because I'm not going to get to the Russian
00:25:19.440 talk today, which is really important.
00:25:23.040 Colony Ridge, which is really important on immigration and Baby Sparrow.
00:25:27.620 That case goes to court today.
00:25:30.200 We're hoping that there will be an update by the end of the day.
00:25:33.360 We're hoping, but we'll see.
00:25:35.220 Uh, and so I'm going to add an hour to the show.
00:25:38.860 We'll put it on X, uh, and probably most likely the blaze as well.
00:25:44.620 Um, but you've got to be a subscriber to blaze TV, become a subscriber to blaze TV.
00:25:49.020 And I want to hear your comments.
00:25:50.400 We're going to go to the comment section here in just a second.
00:25:52.940 If you are a blaze TV subscriber and you're watching right now, please comment as we scan
00:25:57.780 for your opinion on what's going on.
00:25:59.780 Don't put any of that weird stuff in the chat room.
00:26:01.840 Yeah, please don't.
00:26:02.400 It's nice and clean.
00:26:03.420 Yeah.
00:26:03.840 Come on.
00:26:04.140 Um, what's happening right now, uh, with the theft of our time, our treasure and our trust
00:26:12.900 cut so deep to the marrow of everything that we've been taught to trust that I, I, uh,
00:26:20.540 I think we were saved by God, but unless every person in America starts to recognize sanity,
00:26:29.300 not common sense, sanity.
00:26:31.940 And we don't demand, uh, and, and the government to clean this mess up.
00:26:40.700 Now we don't survive this.
00:26:42.500 We've just maybe postponed our, our death for a couple of years.
00:26:47.140 Let me, let me tell you about a piece I wrote, uh, read last night from Elizabeth Nixon.
00:26:52.460 Uh, it's, uh, give us back our effing money, how Washington stole everything.
00:26:58.620 She published it on her sub stack.
00:27:01.380 It's a howl of rage.
00:27:03.040 Uh, it's a spotlight on the festering wound of government overreach.
00:27:08.460 And I want to unpack it and add some commentary to it.
00:27:12.300 Just one human being to another, not, not talking about politics, just human to human, American
00:27:20.480 to American, because we cannot, we cannot continue to pretend this stuff isn't happening.
00:27:28.280 Maybe half the country maybe is seething.
00:27:32.440 Their anger is a quiet fire that has been stoked by decades of theft, not just our money, but of our dreams.
00:27:43.400 Our kids futures, the very idea of liberty.
00:27:48.200 And yet the politicians, mostly Democrats, sure.
00:27:52.940 Let's not kid ourselves.
00:27:55.000 Uh, the rhinos, the Republicans, we always suspected that they were in on it.
00:27:59.400 They're all shrieking like Banshee, Banshees right now, clutching their pearls.
00:28:03.180 Oh my gosh, we're the victims here.
00:28:06.340 No, you're not.
00:28:08.080 Meanwhile, Doge, the department of government efficiency.
00:28:13.500 Is stepping in with a simple request.
00:28:15.640 And yesterday, last night, they had to extend this deadline because it was just too hard and controversial for people to do.
00:28:23.140 Tell us five things you worked on last week.
00:28:26.540 Tell us five things.
00:28:28.500 Now, that's a demand for accountability that should have universal approval.
00:28:33.320 I mean, I think we should all be like, yeah.
00:28:34.960 Instead, it was met with defiance calls from the unions, the bureaucrats, who think they're $144,000 a year jobs with benefits.
00:28:49.280 Things that we would all kill for means they don't have to answer to anybody.
00:28:54.080 Not you.
00:28:55.140 Not the president.
00:28:56.160 Or his appointed representative.
00:28:58.620 No.
00:28:58.920 They don't answer to you.
00:29:01.860 They don't answer to him.
00:29:03.700 And I am sick of it.
00:29:07.380 What will it take for all of us to wake up to the common sense truth?
00:29:13.640 This government, as it has been run, isn't here for you.
00:29:18.080 It's not here for your children.
00:29:19.700 It's not here for the freedom of mankind.
00:29:21.680 It's a machine.
00:29:24.360 And we, its citizens, are the fuel it's burning.
00:29:29.720 I just, I want you to picture this in your head for just a second.
00:29:33.340 Just take a breath and picture your paycheck.
00:29:36.960 It lands into your account.
00:29:38.740 And before you can either even breathe, a chunk of it is gone.
00:29:45.080 Siphoned off to fund a system that doesn't give a damn about you.
00:29:48.820 Now, we always suspected, but we know now what's happening with our money.
00:29:56.500 Nixon lays it bare.
00:29:57.900 She says, the elderly on Social Security should have five times what they're getting.
00:30:03.620 Scraping by on a pittance while the bureaucrats live fat.
00:30:08.680 Those waiting for health care?
00:30:10.820 Maybe you, your kid, can't even dream of going to college.
00:30:14.000 Maybe you're facing cancer from a vaccine that you had to take.
00:30:21.120 Those are the casualties of this grand heist.
00:30:26.680 Doge's initial findings.
00:30:29.160 She points out the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid wasted $100 billion last year alone.
00:30:35.860 That was uncovered in a single day's glance.
00:30:39.720 Billion here, billion there.
00:30:41.460 What's a billion dollars between friends?
00:30:43.620 I don't know.
00:30:44.620 A billion dollars.
00:30:47.060 The $2 billion the EPA handed to Stacey Abrams-linked group that raised a measly $100 in donations.
00:30:56.100 Then the government, the EPA, steps in and gives her $2 billion.
00:31:02.160 What was that money for?
00:31:04.620 Paid protesters?
00:31:06.840 Climate hysterics?
00:31:08.580 Who glue themselves to sidewalks scaring kids in our school with climate doomsday fairy tales?
00:31:14.500 This is not incompetence.
00:31:17.380 It's calculated theft.
00:31:19.340 It's a looting of the public purse so blatant, it has to be, you have to admire it.
00:31:29.140 And who's paying?
00:31:31.660 You are.
00:31:33.280 You are.
00:31:34.800 I am.
00:31:36.060 Every taxpayer that is watching their life's work vanish in the maw of a beast that doesn't even blink.
00:31:44.940 It doesn't stop to take a breath.
00:31:46.580 It just keeps consuming.
00:31:49.340 Let me put it this way.
00:31:54.320 Since the beginning of the year, you are still working just to pay your taxes.
00:32:01.840 You haven't made a dime yet.
00:32:03.840 You will work 113 days, a third of the year, a third of your life just to pay taxes.
00:32:16.500 And what are you getting out of it?
00:32:19.340 You won't finish working to pay your taxes for these government programs and government workers with their $144,000 salaries until five days after April 15th.
00:32:34.420 When is enough enough?
00:32:39.740 My patriotic duty?
00:32:41.400 My patriotic duty?
00:32:44.020 To fund this crap?
00:32:45.920 No.
00:32:46.220 Now let's talk about the politicians.
00:32:49.140 The Democrats built this machine, decades of bloated programs, identity politics, green agendas that choked the life out of us.
00:32:57.640 But the rhinos, the Republicans, they're the grease in the gears.
00:33:01.320 They were the ones we always knew were part of the problem, nodding along while they were pocketing their share, I'm sure.
00:33:08.780 So when Doge comes knocking for basic accountability, how dare you question us?
00:33:15.840 Really?
00:33:17.920 You really believe your cushy salaries and your lifetime pension, something that we don't get?
00:33:26.640 That's a divine right?
00:33:28.100 Again, the government salary, the average government salary is $144,000 with benefits that makes your eyes water.
00:33:39.580 Healthcare, retirement, paid leave.
00:33:43.080 Well, you're lucky.
00:33:43.860 Do you even have a 401k?
00:33:45.800 Do you get a match of your 401k?
00:33:48.220 And yet when the president or someone like Elon Musk tap to clean this mess up, just says, what'd you do last week?
00:33:56.580 They don't even bother to respond.
00:33:59.100 And it's so bad that the president can't fire any of them.
00:34:04.260 It's a fireable offense, it was said over the weekend, if you don't answer these by midnight Monday.
00:34:11.300 Well, let's extend because maybe some of them are slow.
00:34:14.680 No, that's not arrogance.
00:34:18.860 That is a middle finger to every taxpayer, no matter who you vote for.
00:34:24.880 It's a middle finger to the Constitution itself.
00:34:29.040 Article 2, Section 1 gives all of the power.
00:34:33.320 It vests the executive power in the president.
00:34:38.560 He's their boss, not their buddy.
00:34:41.740 He's their boss.
00:34:43.260 Because ethically, constitutionally, they're bound to serve the public, not their own egos.
00:34:51.260 But they've forgotten that, if they ever knew it.
00:34:58.160 What's it going to take for us to see this clearly?
00:35:00.480 And when I say us, I don't mean the probably 50% to 70% of Americans.
00:35:07.900 Doge is getting like 70% ratings.
00:35:12.440 People are for this.
00:35:13.900 But what is it going to take to get 70% of us to all stand up and say, enough is enough?
00:35:21.940 Imagine your house.
00:35:26.820 The locks don't work.
00:35:28.560 And every night, somebody slips in and takes a little more.
00:35:31.300 Your savings, your kids' toys, the food from your fridge.
00:35:34.540 You would bolt the doors, set a trap, and fight back.
00:35:38.680 But this government?
00:35:39.500 It's the thief that owns the deed.
00:35:44.040 And they're telling you it's for your own good.
00:35:47.040 Nixon is right on this.
00:35:48.560 This anger is soul deep.
00:35:51.040 And it's not going to go away.
00:35:52.220 In fact, it's the kind of anger that will spark at least a tax revolt.
00:35:58.000 A national strike.
00:35:59.460 God forbid a real revolution in America.
00:36:04.420 Not the fake stage ones that they've peddled overseas and in our own country with your tax dollars without your permission.
00:36:17.960 Half the country feels it.
00:36:21.120 This betrayal has been brewing since the New Deal turned into the Raw Deal.
00:36:25.480 Since the Great Society became a great scam.
00:36:27.880 And the other half?
00:36:30.040 I don't know.
00:36:30.740 Are they deaf?
00:36:31.700 Are they lulled by the promises of safety nets that are really nooses?
00:36:35.400 Are they caught up in their own mental illness of depravity and their religion where it's their God is the planet or the government and Satan is Trump?
00:36:46.940 I don't know.
00:36:51.660 But I'm talking to you now.
00:36:54.660 I don't know.
00:36:57.880 You can't be one of them.
00:37:01.560 You're not stupid.
00:37:03.640 Maybe you're just tired.
00:37:05.080 Maybe you're just scared.
00:37:06.900 And so you're in that category.
00:37:08.780 But hear me out.
00:37:09.760 This isn't about left or right.
00:37:11.580 This isn't about even right or wrong.
00:37:14.420 This isn't about Trump.
00:37:16.040 This isn't about me.
00:37:17.620 This isn't about the Democrats or the Republicans.
00:37:20.120 Who we vote for.
00:37:21.840 Who we're pissed at.
00:37:23.320 This is about our children.
00:37:27.380 This is about their future.
00:37:30.820 When we pay our taxes every year and work a third of our life.
00:37:37.120 And have that tax taken at the threat of a gun or jail.
00:37:43.280 We don't even cover the cost for all of these things.
00:37:47.140 We can't even cover the cost of the interest payments.
00:37:51.880 Our children will be paying for these things for the rest of their lives.
00:37:55.820 They'll either become slaves to the debt or those most likely who hold the debt.
00:38:03.080 Ethically, this is indefensible.
00:38:05.380 The government's job, its only job, if you read the Constitution, is to secure your rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:38:15.440 Not to pick your pocket and call it charity.
00:38:19.640 The Tenth Amendment powers.
00:38:21.940 And he says, the Tenth Amendment says any power not delegated to the feds belong to the states or the people.
00:38:28.060 Wherein it doesn't say they can waste $100 billion on Medicare fraud or funnel billions to climate grifters.
00:38:36.640 It doesn't say that.
00:38:39.020 They have overstepped.
00:38:41.340 They have violated our social contract.
00:38:44.900 The one where we consent to be governed.
00:38:47.340 Not robbed.
00:38:48.200 We consent to be governed.
00:38:51.140 Intellectually, this whole thing is a farce.
00:38:54.420 Nixon points to the media.
00:38:55.940 90% of Ukraine's press funded by U.S. taxpayers.
00:39:00.500 Same here.
00:39:01.980 Government grants prop up failing outlets, turning them into propaganda mills.
00:39:06.800 You can't trust what you read because it's not the truth.
00:39:09.660 It's propaganda.
00:39:10.860 For them and the media, it's a paycheck.
00:39:14.900 The Commodity Futures Trading Commission gets climate grants.
00:39:19.280 Why?
00:39:20.000 Why?
00:39:21.260 I'll tell you why.
00:39:22.000 To scare investors into green schemes that do nothing but enrich the connected.
00:39:26.540 It's a Ponzi scheme.
00:39:28.140 Just with better branding.
00:39:30.920 I want to zoom in on Doge for just a second if I have time.
00:39:34.240 Musk wants to cut the fat.
00:39:35.860 The first move.
00:39:36.560 Asking for five things you worked on last week.
00:39:38.440 So simple.
00:39:39.000 It's brilliant.
00:39:39.780 Litmus test.
00:39:40.600 If you can't answer that, you're dead weight.
00:39:42.840 Universal approval should be a no-brainer.
00:39:45.340 Transparency, efficiency, accountability.
00:39:47.380 Who is arguing against that?
00:39:49.260 Oh, that's right.
00:39:50.180 Those who don't want to be accountable.
00:39:52.140 Those who think their job is a sovereign right, not a service.
00:39:56.980 Constitutionally, it's ironclad.
00:39:58.860 The president runs the executive branch.
00:40:01.180 These agencies answer to him.
00:40:03.280 Ethically, a slam dunk.
00:40:04.880 You're spending my money.
00:40:06.360 Show me what you're doing.
00:40:08.060 But the silence is deafening.
00:40:09.780 I think it's a confession of guilt from people who have gotten away with murder, figuratively.
00:40:15.360 Maybe, actually, literally as well.
00:40:18.420 But I'm tired of it, and I think you are, too.
00:40:20.700 Back in just a minute.
00:40:23.000 I find the best way to approach situations that crop up in life is to have a plan.
00:40:27.340 And when you've already thought through all the things that can happen, you've prepared yourself for those possibilities.
00:40:32.120 You're usually going to come out better on the other side.
00:40:35.220 That's why I kind of tell you these bad things every day, just so when everybody else figures them out, you're already past them.
00:40:43.160 This is especially true when it comes to life-threatening situations.

00:41:16.860 We'll be right back.
00:41:25.360 So, you've heard me talking about a crime the FBI calls house stealing.
00:41:33.680 It's also known as title fraud.
00:41:35.500 And if you own a home or a property, your title and the hard-earned equity you've built are at serious risk.
00:41:41.580 This is a fast-growing crime, and it is a serious problem for homeowners.
00:41:45.960 A California district attorney recently stated that known, only known title fraud attempts over the last year and a half jump from zero to 80.
00:41:53.160 And I gotta think that you don't find all of them.
00:41:55.860 That's kind of the problem with the crime.
00:41:57.260 You don't find a lot of them until later.
00:41:59.020 First, they find your home's title online, then they print out the documents to transfer ownership, and then they forge your signature.
00:42:05.720 They file it with the local recorder's office, and they get ownership of your home transferred out of your name and into theirs.
00:42:12.500 That's literally all it takes for your property to become their property.
00:42:16.400 Today, Home Title Lock's Triple Lock Protection provides 24-7 monitoring of your title, urgent alerts of any changes.
00:42:23.320 And, you know, if the worst thing happens, everything, you know, criminals are good at their jobs, unfortunately.

00:42:32.000 But if, God forbid, that does happen, Home Title Lock is going to be there to make sure they help you unwind all of it.

00:43:10.980 Dan Crenshaw, you're on my mind as well today.
00:43:15.600 We'll talk about that.
00:43:16.700 But we're going to take a quick break, talk to Riley Moore, who is now in Congress, to talk about what he's doing on tariffs to try to support the president.
00:43:26.300 And Congressman Aaron Bean, who is going to debunk the misconceptions about Doge.
00:43:33.940 He is on the committee that oversees Doge.
00:43:38.040 So, we're going to ask him what's real, what's not.
00:43:41.300 This is Glenn Beck.
00:43:43.800 Let me tell you about Jace Medical.
00:43:44.940 Jace Medical would like to thank all the first responders that are listening and watching right now in the blaze.
00:43:50.620 As we've been dealing with snowstorms and fires and other intense weather, it's easy to forget how many people actually put their lives on the line to save their fellow Americans.
00:44:01.680 First responders, they can't be everywhere all at once.
00:44:04.240 And when it comes to emergencies, the things you need to remember are that you are your own first responder.
00:44:09.720 One of the most important tools you can have in your kit right now is the Jace case.

00:44:21.980 Personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics and medications that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.
00:44:28.280 It provides five life-saving antibiotics for emergency use.
00:44:31.780 They even have ivermectin in it as an add-on if you want it.
00:44:35.400 By the way, I take ivermectin now five days a month.
00:44:40.780 We should talk about that.

00:45:59.060 We got a lot to talk about.
00:46:01.160 First of all, the tariffs.
00:46:04.920 Oh my gosh, Donald Trump.
00:46:06.420 Can't you people see?
00:46:08.160 I mean, you're friends.
00:46:09.420 Don't you just want to slap them sometimes and just go, can you not see what this guy is doing?
00:46:16.080 Morons!
00:46:17.300 We're going to talk to Congressman Riley Moore.
00:46:20.040 He used to be the treasurer in West Virginia.
00:46:27.200 And now he's in Congress and he's suggesting a bill that needs to be passed to help the president.
00:46:33.420 Also, later on, debunking the misconceptions about Doge.
00:46:37.380 I have some questions about Doge.
00:46:39.760 And Congressman Aaron Bean is going to be joining us.
00:46:42.760 He is from Florida.
00:46:44.180 And he is one of the guys who is on the Doge committee.
00:46:48.760 We're going to talk to him.
00:46:49.600 There's a lot of answers to a lot of questions that apparently not enough people are asking.
00:46:55.920 We do that in 60 seconds.
00:46:57.460 First, let me tell you about Cozy Earth, our sponsor.
00:46:59.980 I love going home at the end of the day, feeling like I'm stepping into your own private world.
00:47:03.780 And it's a place surrounded by my family, my preferences.
00:47:08.880 Yes, I have preferences.
00:47:10.580 Oh, and I have pronouns, too.
00:47:12.160 Anyway, Cozy Earth gets it.
00:47:14.120 They know how I want my home to feel.
00:47:16.100 I want it to be a place that just honestly just feels like a refuge from the storm.
00:47:23.240 Believe it or not, bamboo sheets.
00:47:26.240 I know this sounds crazy.
00:47:27.520 If you've never felt bamboo sheets, I had never felt bamboo sheets.
00:47:30.600 I thought, oh, made with bamboo.
00:47:32.260 That doesn't sound good at all.
00:47:35.280 They are amazing.
00:47:37.500 And they regulate your temperature so you stay cool, comfortable.

00:48:14.780 Congressman Riley Moore.
00:48:16.220 Welcome.
00:48:16.800 How are you, Riley?
00:48:17.360 Glad I'm doing great.
00:48:19.600 Thanks for having me back on.
00:48:20.780 You bet.
00:48:21.360 It's good to have you.
00:48:23.180 Do you like being a congressman over the state treasurer?
00:48:27.980 What do you think so far?
00:48:29.780 Well, you know, so far, so good.
00:48:31.920 I do miss being in West Virginia and dealing with sane people in the state of West Virginia.
00:48:38.440 But, you know, it's something I certainly prayed on a lot.
00:48:42.140 And I certainly need a lot of prayers and God's protection when you're down here.
00:48:45.900 There's no doubt about it.
00:48:47.780 So you are a guy who understands things as a treasurer.
00:48:53.100 You understand the economy, et cetera, et cetera.
00:48:55.980 So tell me what you think about Trump's tariffs and what he's actually doing.
00:49:03.080 Yeah, so I am very supportive of the president's tariffs.
00:49:08.940 I've actually introduced what's called the U.S. Reciprocal Trade Act.
00:49:13.460 And specifically what the president's trying to do here and what I'm trying to address in my bill is, in short, we're getting taken for a ride.
00:49:21.180 The American people and the American worker have been getting taken for a ride for a very long time.
00:49:26.440 Now, what my bill does is it addresses non-tariff trade barriers that are there.
00:49:33.560 So that could be a VAT.
00:49:34.700 That could be a regulation.
00:49:36.180 It could be government subsidies that act like a tariff for our manufacturers to be able to enter into that marketplace.
00:49:44.220 Right.
00:49:44.560 A lot of hidden costs in there.
00:49:46.320 Now, the president, what he wants to do is be able to reciprocate with all these countries that have high tariffs.
00:49:53.100 And what I want to do is allow them to give more latitude to be able to reciprocate on these non-tariff barriers, because at the end of the day, nobody wants high tariffs.
00:50:01.580 What the president has proven is when you go out here and you reciprocate, you're going to lower tariffs and you're going to get more free trade.
00:50:10.920 Everybody who is freaking out about this and, oh, no, this is going to be terrible for the consumer.
00:50:16.320 This is going to be great for the consumer in the long run.
00:50:18.920 And guess what?
00:50:19.540 It's going to be great for the American worker and the blue collar worker and the family here.
00:50:24.400 I mean, this is Riley.
00:50:27.120 He is playing, I think, five dimensional chess.
00:50:30.300 I mean, I've not been a fan of tariffs.
00:50:34.140 They generally are not good for the economy and the free market.
00:50:37.680 But the reciprocal tariff is just saying, I just want free, fair trade.
00:50:44.140 I don't want any tariff.
00:50:45.600 But if you're going to raise a tariff, then I'm going to balance the field by giving you exactly the same tariff.
00:50:52.820 Now, how do you do that with that?
00:50:54.860 How does your bill actually make, you know, all the subsidies, for instance, Airbus?
00:50:59.480 How are you balancing that?
00:51:02.700 Right.
00:51:03.280 So it will allow the USTR to be able to calculate that.
00:51:08.300 And they'll come up with a value in terms of what that looks like in a non-tariff sense.
00:51:14.600 Right.
00:51:14.820 So what is that value?
00:51:16.120 What is that?
00:51:16.560 What's that inhibitor into our entrance into that marketplace?
00:51:21.900 So it gives them latitude over USTR to be able to determine that.
00:51:25.720 But we have to have the ability to be able to negotiate on those aspects of that.
00:51:30.040 So a tariff on, say, a U.S. automobile in Europe right now might be around 10 percent.
00:51:35.400 But really, it's more like 25 percent.
00:51:38.360 Right.
00:51:38.680 Because of all these non-tariff barriers that are in place.
00:51:43.900 Is it going to pass?
00:51:44.840 Are you going to be able to get it?
00:51:45.680 What did you start with?
00:51:46.860 Eight sponsors to this, Bill?
00:51:49.400 Eight sponsors.
00:51:50.780 My main lead sponsor, Marjorie Taylor Greene, her and I have worked on this.
00:51:55.540 And we're going to continue to pick up some more sponsors, particularly as the president
00:51:59.980 has started to lean in on this.
00:52:02.420 And people got to, everybody knows, Glenn, you're a huge U.S. history expert.
00:52:08.020 You know this.
00:52:08.640 And so just flashback to pre-revolutionary war.
00:52:12.600 And one of the aspects and issues that we had with the British at that time was they
00:52:17.000 were taking our raw goods and materials, shipping them over to Britain to then become finished
00:52:23.340 goods that they would export back over to us.
00:52:26.440 Does that sound familiar to anybody?
00:52:28.660 That's what's happening to us right now with the Chinese.
00:52:31.700 It's literally what's happening right now.
00:52:33.980 But instead of that, it's our intellectual property.
00:52:36.340 It's our technological know-how.
00:52:38.680 And they're building it over there and shipping it back to us.
00:52:41.880 So he says that, you know, the tariffs are going to make us rich because we're going to
00:52:46.960 collect so much tax dollars.
00:52:48.540 But actually, if, I mean, if this works and everybody just kind of plays fair with each
00:52:55.400 other, your tariff is not collecting that much money.
00:53:00.300 We still have to have a serious look at cutting our budget and also our taxes, correct?
00:53:08.900 Correct.
00:53:09.500 Because I'd say in the, you're going to have some, some revenue on that.
00:53:15.020 But in the longterm, we're trying to correct a behavior here.
00:53:18.400 Now, this is an example that I've used before.
00:53:21.400 Not that I'm in favor of it because I didn't support it in the state legislature.
00:53:25.140 But if you think about something like a cigarette.
00:53:28.220 You keep breaking up.
00:53:29.480 Are you there?
00:53:30.820 Oh, yeah, I'm there.
00:53:32.240 Can you hear me, Glenn?
00:53:33.020 Yes, I can.
00:53:34.040 An example to think about would be, say, like a cigarette tax, which I'm not in favor of.
00:53:39.220 But what they're trying to do is change a behavior on the other side.
00:53:43.100 So you might get some revenue in the beginning, but eventually people will come off of cigarettes,
00:53:48.400 right?
00:53:48.780 So it's the same way you could think to an extent on tariffs is that we're trying to correct
00:53:53.640 the way that these foreign countries are dealing with us and bring it to a more level playing
00:53:59.080 field.
00:53:59.360 The president said he's for free trade, but he is for fair trade.
00:54:02.220 So we'll get some revenue in the short term.
00:54:04.640 This is not a long term play, though, I don't think.
00:54:07.300 So I'm talking in just a few minutes to one of the congressmen that are on the Doge Oversight
00:54:12.240 Oversight Committee, and I can't figure out what's real and what's not on these numbers.
00:54:19.100 You know, the Wall Street Journal said, I think it's only six billion dollars, according
00:54:22.480 to the Wall Street Journal, that they've cut.
00:54:25.240 I'm really not excited about anything until we get over a trillion dollars in cuts.
00:54:31.620 And I'm not sure that we're serious enough to do that.
00:54:36.020 And certainly in Congress, we're not serious about cutting, are we?
00:54:42.140 Well, I can tell you that I am.
00:54:44.940 And, you know, this budget resolution that they're going to have on the floor today has
00:54:51.520 a floor itself within it, provides some guardrails in there for one and a half trillion dollars
00:54:58.180 in cuts.
00:54:58.900 Yeah, but isn't that like an 85 trillion dollar bill over 10 years?
00:55:04.760 You're only cutting.
00:55:05.960 I mean, I mean, really?
00:55:08.040 Yeah.
00:55:08.280 So that's over the 10 year window.
00:55:10.000 You're right.
00:55:11.140 So that's over the 10 year window.
00:55:13.160 So in the way I've thought about it and I've talked to people like, oh, it's one and a half
00:55:17.940 trillion dollars.
00:55:18.720 Or what if we get to two trillion dollars?
00:55:20.240 It's like, well, one, it's over the 10 year window.
00:55:22.380 So which is saying we're going to reduce, let's say, 200 billion dollars a year if it's
00:55:27.220 two trillion dollars.
00:55:28.100 If this place tomorrow woke up and said they wanted to spend 200 more billion dollars a
00:55:33.800 year, they could do it in a nanosecond.
00:55:35.580 And you wouldn't feel it in Washington.
00:55:37.480 They wouldn't feel it.
00:55:38.240 They have to cut 10 percent, at least 10 percent from this.
00:55:44.280 And yes, to cut a billion dollars is nothing in an almost 90 or trillion, one trillion out
00:55:51.760 of almost a 90 trillion dollar budget is is frankly pathetic and a slap in the face to
00:55:58.560 people who are actually serious and voted for serious reform.
00:56:02.500 Yeah.
00:56:04.140 And we do got to get more serious on this.
00:56:06.600 And I do think, though, I mean, the things that we're seeing from Doge, if people have
00:56:12.940 the intestinal fortitude, which I am one of these to actually take what they're doing and
00:56:18.060 put it into law.
00:56:19.740 Yes.
00:56:20.060 They can pause the spending.
00:56:22.500 But if we don't put it into law, it will be reappropriated in the next year.
00:56:28.120 So the it's so incredible, the I think the American people, I don't know if you saw what
00:56:36.520 Christopher Rufo came out with as an expose yesterday about what is happening.
00:56:41.120 I do not.
00:56:41.520 Oh, look it up.
00:56:43.680 I won't waste your time now.
00:56:45.060 Look it up.
00:56:45.500 It is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen.
00:56:48.000 What our Intel community is doing on our on our secure servers where they're they're they're
00:56:58.020 having the the the most vile sex talk stuff.
00:57:03.500 And NSA says it was important because it was, you know, DEI crap.
00:57:09.220 It's it's just vile.
00:57:10.980 I think when the American people start to see how our money is spent and some of these things
00:57:16.840 when they come out and they are out in the open and they are shown to be absolutely true.
00:57:22.420 I have to tell you, I think Donald Trump is is running so fast and the American people
00:57:29.260 like that.
00:57:29.960 And if the Republicans don't start moving at his speed to make massive changes, they're
00:57:39.340 not going to they're not going to they're not going to be in favor with the American people.
00:57:43.580 So, no, well, and they won't show up.
00:57:46.640 Right.
00:57:47.080 So they won't show up in 2026.
00:57:49.220 And rightfully so, if we do not get to the speed of Donald Trump and start cutting in
00:57:55.480 the manner in which particularly Doge is finding some of these things.
00:57:58.580 And obviously, this is so frustrating for me coming from state government.
00:58:02.960 Yeah.
00:58:03.240 We balance our budget every year.
00:58:04.920 Right.
00:58:05.180 Every year.
00:58:05.960 Balanced budget.
00:58:06.920 No problem.
00:58:08.040 And guess what?
00:58:09.140 When we come up short, what do we do?
00:58:10.840 We cut when the Democrats are in charge, they tax.
00:58:13.920 We cut and we got our way there.
00:58:15.840 We always balance our budget every year.
00:58:17.500 Right.
00:58:18.360 Well, the other thing is, and I'd love to hear your opinion on this.
00:58:22.240 I don't know why we're just shifting money around in the Pentagon.
00:58:26.940 I want the defense budget.
00:58:28.620 And I'm somebody who believes in defense, strong defense.
00:58:31.580 But we have to cut everything, including defense.
00:58:34.940 Why are we not cutting the eight percent?
00:58:37.120 We're just moving that money around, according to Hex.
00:58:41.120 I could not agree with you more.
00:58:45.060 Is everything's got to take a cut.
00:58:48.420 And I'm a big believer in national defense.
00:58:50.700 Huge believer.
00:58:51.980 But everybody has got to do more with less because everyone in America is doing more with less.
00:58:58.940 Yes.
00:58:59.360 Yes.
00:59:00.300 Yes.
00:59:01.720 Riley, thank you.
00:59:02.620 Everyone's going to have to figure it out.
00:59:03.760 Thank you very much.
00:59:04.640 We'll be watching what happens to your tariffs.
00:59:07.540 You were introducing that when?
00:59:09.360 To the floor.
00:59:10.460 We just got it introduced here just last week.
00:59:13.960 And so we're actually working with the White House on the bill right now as we speak.
00:59:17.880 Good.
00:59:18.420 Good.
00:59:19.080 Thank you so much for everything you're doing.
00:59:20.760 And congratulations on or my condolences on being a member of Congress now.
00:59:26.760 Congressman.
00:59:27.240 Thank you.
00:59:27.800 I appreciate it.
00:59:28.660 From West Virginia, Congressman Riley Moore.
00:59:31.140 Back in just a second.
00:59:32.000 You know, that one type of guy you see in the old movies, the strong, silent type, the John Wayne guy who's rough and tough and doesn't feel pain.
00:59:39.960 You can punch him or shoot him and it just keeps coming at you.
00:59:42.240 You know that guy?
00:59:43.280 I am totally not that guy.
00:59:46.140 Not within a mile, really, of that guy.
00:59:50.860 When I was dealing with regular agonizing pain in my own life, I just wanted it gone.
00:59:56.040 And I whined a lot about it.
00:59:58.240 And my wife would testify in front of a judge with her hand on the Bible.
01:00:02.300 Yes, Your Honor.
01:00:03.940 He whined a lot.
01:00:06.680 And that's why she said, I'm not going to listen to you whine anymore if you don't try this daily supplement called Relief Factor.
01:00:14.100 And I'm like, it's not going to work.
01:00:16.500 I've been to some of the best doctors in the world for this and they can't kill this pain.
01:00:20.280 That's going to work.
01:00:22.340 Then she just looked at me, didn't say anything.
01:00:24.260 And I realized, I'm going to lose this argument.
01:00:26.300 So I'm going to take it.
01:00:28.080 I took it.
01:00:28.960 I took it for 30 days, their three-week challenge.
01:00:34.280 And I didn't want to admit that it was working.
01:00:37.460 I just said, well, I feel better, yeah, but it's just probably, you know, I'm just feeling better because I'm just feeling better.
01:00:43.480 I stopped taking it and it all came back.
01:00:45.620 So I'm back on it now.
01:00:47.140 Relief Factor.
01:00:48.360 Make 2025 the year of feeling good and living great.
01:00:50.900 Try Relief Factor.

01:00:52.580 Get their three-week quick start for $19.95, less than a dollar a day.
01:00:56.560 1-800-4-RELIEF.

01:01:00.120 ReliefFactor.com.
01:01:01.240 10 seconds.
01:01:01.800 Station ID.
01:01:07.460 You know, Stu, I don't know if you saw, but Dan Crenshaw was doing an interview with GB News, Great Britain News.
01:01:24.800 And afterwards, he was talking about, yeah, we could play it, but you're not going to really understand.
01:01:30.740 Go ahead and play a little bit.
01:01:31.920 Have you ever met someone?
01:01:35.660 Yeah, we've talked a lot.
01:01:37.460 On Twitter, if I ever met him, I'd effing kill him.
01:01:42.480 He's the worst person.
01:01:43.780 And the guy says, the interviewer says, now they're off mic.
01:01:47.840 They're finished with the interview.
01:01:49.040 And the interviewer says, yeah, funny.
01:01:51.460 And he's like, no, I mean it.
01:01:52.860 I'd kill him.
01:01:54.460 Okay.
01:01:55.120 I don't know about you, but that's not something I want to hear from a former Navy SEAL or a congressman.
01:02:02.600 I mean, somebody who knows the gravity and knows how to kill people.
01:02:07.000 I suggest we don't brush this off from Dan Crenshaw.
01:02:13.940 And it's not about parties or party lines.
01:02:17.160 It's about a congressman threatening to murder a private citizen who's just asking questions of the congressman.
01:02:26.980 You know, I don't threaten to kill people on CNN, nor should I.
01:02:31.780 That's just wrong.
01:02:33.080 Love him or hate him, Tucker Carlson.
01:02:35.060 He's not an enemy combatant.
01:02:37.100 And you're no longer a Navy SEAL.
01:02:40.680 For him to say that he's going to kill him.
01:02:42.940 No, I mean it.
01:02:43.600 I'll kill him.
01:02:44.700 It's not just reckless.
01:02:47.580 It's obscene.
01:02:49.120 For a guy like that to wield those words so casually, I think is, and you know, it's not an isolated outburst.
01:02:55.280 This guy, I mean, we kind of know who Crenshaw is.
01:02:58.600 At first, at least I did.
01:03:00.040 I kind of liked him.
01:03:00.680 I was like, oh, this guy is going to be, you know, he's going to go in there with the eye patch and he's going to make sure.
01:03:05.400 He's not doing that.
01:03:07.100 He's not a conservative.
01:03:08.300 He's a big state advocate.
01:03:09.740 He's a war hawk.
01:03:11.100 He's a player in the globalist agenda like the World Economic Forum and ESG policies.
01:03:17.020 You know, is he serving Texas?
01:03:19.200 I don't think so.
01:03:21.420 Start with his love for centralized power.
01:03:23.520 Is that Texas?
01:03:24.700 Texas?
01:03:25.140 I don't think so.
01:03:26.160 His voting record clashes with the limited government ideals that, you know, conservatives actually hold dear.
01:03:33.780 He's a defender of the national security state, backing surveillance and military overreach every time.
01:03:39.620 In 2021, he opposed the warrant requirement for government access to data, your data, under Section 702 of FISA.
01:03:49.340 It's not a fluke.
01:03:51.180 This is not just a one-off.
01:03:52.960 He always trusts the elite over our Fourth Amendment rights.
01:03:57.900 That's not conservative.
01:03:59.660 That's a statist.
01:04:02.440 You know, and he's cozying up to ESG and WEF priorities.
01:04:07.220 You know, I did a podcast with him once, and he said, I don't really pay attention to ESG, WEF.
01:04:13.740 I don't really know what that is.
01:04:15.240 Really?
01:04:16.480 Don't you?
01:04:17.860 Of course he does.
01:04:19.640 He hasn't openly praised the World Economic Forum, but everything he does and says lines up with him.
01:04:25.800 In 2020, he co-sponsored a carbon tax bill, the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act.
01:04:32.660 Ooh, it's a dividend.
01:04:33.820 That sounds good.
01:04:34.880 He's also not met a war he doesn't like and wants us to get into.
01:04:41.460 And now this.
01:04:42.900 I mean, I think we need to demand accountability.
01:04:48.660 I think you should send a letter in to your congressman and the House Ethics Committee.
01:04:55.760 I think they should probe this threat.
01:04:57.520 You know, in 2026, you have a shot to replace him with somebody who actually fights for the values.
01:05:04.840 Not, you know, not Wall Street or war profiteers, but somebody who actually, you know, fights for the things and is tough on the things you want them to be tough.
01:05:14.140 You know, not saying he's going to kill Tucker Carlson.
01:05:18.660 Yeah.
01:05:19.140 And, you know, look, I don't.
01:05:20.580 It's funny because he's not going to kill Tucker Carlson.
01:05:23.540 I don't think I'm not worried about it.
01:05:25.360 I don't know.
01:05:25.760 I just don't like the, but I understand what you're saying.
01:05:27.720 Yeah.
01:05:27.840 I mean, the guy has obviously been trained in these skills, but he's a, he's a congressman.
01:05:32.180 You just don't say that.
01:05:33.300 And then when the person, when the person laughs, you're going to laugh with it.
01:05:38.040 You don't double down and say, no, I mean it.
01:05:40.740 I'd kill him.
01:05:41.860 And I, and the other part about it is he's supposed to be, the media would tell us that he's the balanced one.
01:05:47.240 Oh yeah.
01:05:47.540 I know that Tucker Carlson's always saying crazy things and he's the one who is, you know, he's the sensible one of the two.
01:05:54.540 That's one reason why, you know, he's on the wrong side.
01:05:58.140 If the media is like, oh, he just gets it.
01:06:02.000 Oh, he's just, he's so, he's so common sense.
01:06:06.360 And I mean, yeah, sure.
01:06:08.460 He's a Republican, but he's a Republican we can live with.
01:06:12.320 You know, he's in bed with all the bad things that we want for America.
01:06:16.040 Uh, so anyway, uh, house, house ethics.
01:06:20.560 What do you, what do you say?
01:06:22.040 Anybody gonna, anybody, anybody, Bueller.
01:06:26.340 This is Glenn Beck.
01:06:34.620 So you and I recognize the importance of farmers and ranchers in America.
01:06:38.960 Yeah.
01:06:40.120 Isn't it crazy that some people don't?
01:06:41.980 You know, fewer and fewer farmers and ranchers are staying in business each year because, well, our meat is imported.
01:06:49.460 Uh, we have a mafia that runs our, our three meat packing plants.
01:06:54.800 Uh, and Bill Gates is buying up all the farms so we can have, you know, these great farms from Bill Gates.
01:06:59.680 Wouldn't that be great?
01:07:00.840 The hell is wrong with us?
01:07:01.800 Every cut of meat from Good Ranchers, beef, chicken, pork, it's all raised here in the U.S.
01:07:07.880 It's free from hidden additives like antibiotics, hormones, seed oils.
01:07:12.400 It's just meat.
01:07:14.180 And they're upholding the values of tradition because when you shop with Good Ranchers, you're directly supporting the local farms and ranches here in the United States.
01:07:23.180 Now, believe it or not, kids, meat doesn't originally come in a styrofoam package.
01:07:28.360 It's weird, I know.
01:07:29.400 Right now, you can get free ground beef, chicken breast, or wild-caught salmon in every box for a year, plus $25 off when you subscribe to Good Ranchers.

01:07:59.400 All right.
01:08:12.860 Man, this has been a crazy day so far.
01:08:15.580 If you missed any of the program, make sure you go back and grab the podcast today.
01:08:20.440 Listen to hour one.
01:08:21.300 It'll make your head explode.
01:08:22.500 It will just make your head explode.
01:08:24.160 I can't believe that we said, oh, you know what?
01:08:27.480 We're going to give those people another day because five bullet points is super hard.
01:08:33.080 You know, we only gave them three days to write five bullet points.
01:08:36.960 What did you do last week?
01:08:39.780 They can't be expected to produce something like that, you know, in just a couple of days.
01:08:46.260 So now they've got extra time to complete their work, and people are bitching about it.
01:08:52.760 How reasonable is it?
01:08:53.780 Who do these people work for?
01:08:55.720 Who do they work for?
01:08:58.900 They answer to the president who works for us.
01:09:05.580 I guess they don't work for Congress.
01:09:07.880 They don't work for the president.
01:09:09.160 They work for themselves.
01:09:10.500 They do whatever they want.
01:09:11.360 They work for their labor unions.
01:09:12.960 We're serving the people.
01:09:14.880 No, you're not.
01:09:15.680 No, you're not.
01:09:17.180 Answer the damn questions or get the hell out.
01:09:21.280 Anyway, Doge is, you know, there's a lot of stuff coming out about Doge and people are
01:09:25.340 like, no, it's just a bunch of kids.
01:09:27.020 It's like the Scooby-Doo mystery van pulled up to the treasury and the dog got out with his
01:09:33.280 Scooby snacks.
01:09:35.020 No, that's not what's happening.
01:09:37.880 And we have a congressional committee that is in charge of oversight, and Congressman
01:09:45.440 Aaron Bean from Florida is part of that oversight.
01:09:49.800 Welcome, Aaron.
01:09:50.380 How are you, sir?
01:09:52.440 Good, Beck.
01:09:53.060 I am doing great.
01:09:54.340 Every day is a crazy day up here in crazy town.
01:09:57.780 So it's wild stuff.
01:10:00.200 So we've got a caucus, a caucus, a Doge caucus that's working to codify the changes that Elon
01:10:08.040 and the president's Doge work group is doing.
01:10:12.000 And it's a busy time.
01:10:14.140 So tell me how much of this stuff is real and not.
01:10:16.680 I read a story in the Wall Street Journal yesterday.
01:10:18.500 It said only $6 billion has really been found.
01:10:22.400 All the rest of it is nonsense.
01:10:23.780 And it's like, what?
01:10:24.940 That can't be true, right?
01:10:26.460 Well, I think it's much bigger.
01:10:31.420 I think it's much bigger than the public knows.
01:10:35.000 And just people would be shocked of how big it is.
01:10:39.600 What we have to do is reestablish a new baseline for budgeting so that we eliminate and codify
01:10:47.060 and not give all this crazy crap that we continue to fund.
01:10:52.680 Today, though, it's game day.
01:10:54.120 It's game day in Capitol Hill and Capitol Hill.
01:10:57.620 We've got a big budget vote tonight that sets up the framework of the Trump agenda,
01:11:02.560 including reestablishing the Trump tax cuts.
01:11:07.080 Glenn, it's going to be razor thin.
01:11:09.100 We can only lose one vote because we know the Democrats, as crazy as they are,
01:11:14.100 they will stick together and they will all vote no.
01:11:17.240 So we've got to stick together.
01:11:19.080 So it's going to be a nail biter here tonight.
01:11:21.400 I don't know how long it'll take, but everybody's going to stay tuned.
01:11:25.260 Listen to Glenn Beck to figure out how to begin the process.
01:11:29.280 How do people, Congressman, how are they not seeing the writing on the wall here?
01:11:37.000 I mean, we cannot continue down this path financially.
01:11:41.180 What they're suggesting is, I mean, I know people are excited about it in Capitol Hill,
01:11:48.140 but I yawn at it.
01:11:49.640 Oh, wow.
01:11:50.200 1.4 or 1.7 trillion dollars saved over 10 years.
01:11:55.740 It's almost a 90 trillion dollar budget.
01:11:58.460 You should be finding nine or 10 trillion dollars to cut from that thing.
01:12:03.060 Uh, agreed, agreed.
01:12:06.400 And, uh, we were, you know, this year we'll spend over seven and a half trillion dollars.
01:12:12.580 2019 before COVID, we were a $4 trillion, uh, budgeted, uh, nation.
01:12:18.400 And so just in the last five years, you can see how much it skyrockets, but we're, we're
01:12:23.760 now at a critical stage that we have to make a change.
01:12:28.320 We have to make a change and is as little as, you know, this budget deal that says we
01:12:32.800 will, we will over the next 10 years cut 1.5 trillion, as small as that is, it is the
01:12:39.340 first cut, major cut, I think ever, uh, it is the largest ever, but it's the first time
01:12:44.780 that we've ever shrunk government.
01:12:46.320 So we will cheer this.
01:12:47.800 We will say it's the first step of a, of a, uh, it's a big deal.
01:12:51.400 It's a big deal.
01:12:52.080 We've got people in our party, in our party plan that you need to know that he's a Republican.
01:12:56.740 Some say these cuts go too far.
01:12:59.080 And then we've got people in our party says I'm not voting for it because it goes, it
01:13:02.140 doesn't go far enough.
01:13:03.140 So, but we've, we've got to come together and hopefully we'll do that tonight.
01:13:07.120 We have to have the tax cuts, but we also have to have, and I'm hoping Doge, uh, does
01:13:13.520 all the cutting, uh, because I don't think Congress will do it.
01:13:16.740 And you know, if, if your caucus can actually codify these things, that's great.
01:13:21.700 But you know, we need about, I mean, if we're going to be honest, if we were actually
01:13:25.780 running this as our house or as our, you know, as our business, we'd all be looking
01:13:30.860 at each other in, you know, in every board meeting and go, we got to cut $3 trillion
01:13:35.720 a year.
01:13:36.900 We have to cut it.
01:13:38.400 And we would all know it.
01:13:40.020 And if we were responsible business people or sponsor, responsible people that had our
01:13:45.400 families, we would find that $3 trillion and we would cut it.
01:13:49.500 Um, but I mean, you know, we can't, we can't nickel and dime here and there.
01:13:54.700 And is Doge going to be able to find a trillion dollars in cuts for a year?
01:13:59.200 I think they will.
01:14:02.560 Yes, I do.
01:14:03.720 Uh, but this framework tonight is the, is the first step.
01:14:07.420 I agree.
01:14:08.380 If it was a Glenn Beck and Aaron being in a room, you and I could do it on the back of
01:14:12.800 a cocktail napkin of how we were going to reshape government.
01:14:15.260 But when you have 500 and, uh, 535 members of Congress that each has their own little idea
01:14:23.760 of how it should go down, uh, then, then that's where the trick is.
01:14:28.440 So tonight getting, getting 216 virtually, virtually unanimous, we'll lose, hopefully not more than
01:14:36.100 one vote or it fails, but if we, uh, that we'll come together and begin the process of reducing
01:14:42.760 the size of the government the first time in a long time.
01:14:45.660 So how confident are you guys, uh, you know, are the Republicans going into this today that
01:14:53.140 they're going to actually walk away with a deal that they're going to get the, all the
01:14:58.300 votes they need?
01:15:01.380 I, on a scale from one to 10, I'm at a, uh, eight right now, four people, four Republicans
01:15:07.640 have said they, they oppose it.
01:15:09.160 But I think that's a chance for Donald J. Trump, who is the 800 pound gorilla that can
01:15:13.920 get on the phone and say, what are you doing?
01:15:15.620 Let's go forward with the Trump agenda.
01:15:17.540 77 million people voted for it in a, in America.
01:15:20.720 They voted for rapid change that doges bring.
01:15:23.260 And they voted for rapid change that our president is doing.
01:15:26.800 Somebody said, and it's perfect.
01:15:28.380 Somebody said that the president's running a no huddle offense every day.
01:15:32.080 He goes to the mic every afternoon.
01:15:33.680 He pushes and signs executive orders and pushes everybody.
01:15:37.300 Congress is having a hard time keeping up with him, but, uh, tonight game time, six
01:15:41.040 Oh five, going back, tune in.
01:15:42.600 Uh, so what is the, uh, uh, who are the four?
01:15:45.540 Can you say who the four are the four Republicans?
01:15:51.660 No, it's public Thomas Massey.
01:15:53.560 Thomas Massey is one of them.
01:15:55.060 Victoria Sparks is, uh, is another, those are the two that are public right now.
01:16:00.080 And hopefully they'll get to, uh, to, uh, to have their say of, of, uh, going forward
01:16:05.400 and we'll bring them back into the fold.
01:16:06.980 Yeah.
01:16:07.160 Well, I know both of them and I would imagine that they're just, they're doing it because
01:16:10.800 they're like, this is a joke.
01:16:12.080 This is not, this is not real.
01:16:14.780 Um, you know, and I, I tend to agree with them, but we've got to, we, I don't know.
01:16:21.320 I'm such a, I'm, I'm such a spineless worm when it comes to, it'd be horrible in Congress
01:16:25.860 because it'd be like, guys, we got to do something, we got to do something.
01:16:29.200 So I guess this is the best deal, you know?
01:16:32.460 Uh, but we'll see.
01:16:34.060 All right.
01:16:34.600 I know.
01:16:35.140 Um, thank you so much, uh, Aaron.
01:16:37.200 And by the way, no relation to Mr. Bean, right?
01:16:41.840 Uh, well, that's, that was my dad.
01:16:43.960 That was your dad.
01:16:44.680 No, not, uh, you're thinking of a different Mr. Bean.
01:16:46.600 Yeah.
01:16:46.880 Mr. Bean.
01:16:47.480 Yeah.
01:16:48.160 I've been a long time.
01:16:49.620 Yeah, exactly.
01:16:50.920 I have been a long time fan of you.
01:16:52.420 The passion comes through in your voice, the love for our country.
01:16:56.820 Uh, it's just infectious.
01:16:58.780 Uh, if I ever need to be picked up, I turn on the Glenn Beck program and, uh, you do a
01:17:03.740 wonderful job.
01:17:04.400 So keep that up and hopefully we'll get a chance to talk again.
01:17:06.440 Thank you very much.
01:17:07.140 I appreciate it, Aaron.
01:17:07.980 God bless.
01:17:08.720 That's Congressman Aaron Bean, uh, from, uh, Florida.
01:17:11.900 What district is he from?
01:17:12.920 The second, uh, the fourth district, uh, of Florida.
01:17:15.880 Back in just a second, let me tell you about relief factor.
01:17:18.600 If you've never had trouble sleeping, God bless you.
01:17:20.960 You're one of the lucky ones.
01:17:22.420 I mean, you know, sleep, kids can fall asleep at anything.
01:17:29.520 You know, remember, don't you just wish somebody that could like, they could pick you up, put
01:17:34.180 you in a car.
01:17:34.940 You could drive halfway across the country and wake up, you know, in a hotel room, something
01:17:39.400 after maybe even a plane trip.
01:17:41.360 And you'd be like, how did I get here?
01:17:43.120 You're asleep the whole time, man, the dog moves at night and I'm wide awake.

01:18:24.660 This is Glenn Beck.
01:18:30.080 We go to Washington, D.C. and Eduardo Wiesenmuller.
01:18:54.700 Welcome, Eduardo.
01:18:56.760 Hi, Glenn.
01:18:57.360 How are you?
01:18:57.920 Good.
01:18:58.120 How are you?
01:18:58.480 I really enjoy your show and I was just listening to the congressman.
01:19:02.280 I just wanted to echo what he was saying.
01:19:04.980 I often, when I feel down, I will also turn on the program.
01:19:11.180 Really?
01:19:11.540 It picks you up?
01:19:13.400 No, no.
01:19:15.320 It does help me, you know, push me over the edge in my suicide attempts though.
01:19:21.220 A lot of times I feel discouraged and maybe that I shouldn't, you know, pull the trigger.
01:19:26.080 Right.
01:19:26.360 And then I just tune into your program and it gives me the courage to give it a whirl.
01:19:30.280 Yeah.
01:19:30.900 And I just wanted to say.
01:19:32.800 Helps you welcome sweet, sweet death.
01:19:34.360 Sweet, sweet, sweet death is around the corner.
01:19:36.980 And I think of myself, wouldn't it be better if I was buried under six feet of dirt right now?
01:19:41.960 Yeah.
01:19:42.180 It really does bring me to that, uh, to that fridge.
01:19:46.200 I will say though, it's not always that way.
01:19:48.400 Sometimes I think to myself, you know, when I'm feeling up, I will, I will turn the show on too.
01:19:54.260 Really?
01:19:54.780 Uh, yes.
01:19:55.440 Uh, you know, when I'm, when I'm feeling like I'm up on the top of a bridge and want to jump down, also works well for that.
01:20:01.000 All right.
01:20:01.740 Thank you, Eduardo.
01:20:02.700 I appreciated it.
01:20:04.140 Thank you so much.
01:20:05.340 Uh, it's nice to hear from the listeners.
01:20:10.400 It is.
01:20:10.920 Sometimes, you know, they are great.
01:20:12.980 They really appreciate you and everything that you do to them.
01:20:15.400 Yeah.
01:20:15.640 Thank you.
01:20:16.820 You know what?
01:20:17.460 I blame a lot of this on Sarah.
01:20:19.260 Cause Sarah said to me, what was it?
01:20:20.880 Monday or last week?
01:20:22.280 I came in and I said, Sarah, how's the show sounding?
01:20:24.580 And she said, ah, quite honestly, meh.
01:20:28.820 And I said, what do you mean?
01:20:29.620 And she said, it's.
01:20:31.360 That is what happens.
01:20:32.600 It's not really scary.
01:20:33.700 And I was like, well, there's nothing to be afraid of.
01:20:36.800 And she's like, but that's not you.
01:20:38.760 That's true.
01:20:39.300 It's very inconsistent with, with who you are.
01:20:42.980 And you do, uh, tend to depress the people around you.
01:20:46.080 That's something that's been known for a long time.
01:20:48.000 Because it's funny because you stopped, you were an alcoholic.
01:20:51.060 Yeah.
01:20:51.360 You stopped drinking.
01:20:52.280 But the total amount that is being consumed by the show has increased.
01:20:57.380 Really?
01:20:57.740 Yeah.
01:20:57.900 Even with you going to zero.
01:20:59.100 Yeah.
01:20:59.520 The rest of the show has really increased.
01:21:01.660 They're drinking to deal with you.
01:21:03.080 Especially Sarah.
01:21:03.600 Yeah.
01:21:03.980 So.
01:21:04.300 All right.

01:21:25.180 And, uh, let's see from, uh, from Barbara, she said, uh, make mental institutions great again.
01:21:33.020 Uh, she's talking about, you know, earlier I said that what's happening, what Chris Rufo,
01:21:37.420 you've got to listen to our number one of the podcast.
01:21:40.140 Um, but, uh, what Chris Rufo, uh, exposed yesterday about what's happening with the CIA
01:21:46.760 and, you know, NSA and all of the perversion and the, I mean, it's sick, it's sick.
01:21:52.480 And I agree, Barbara make mental institutions great again.
01:21:55.980 Uh, Ted wrote in, he said, uh, Glenn, uh, Washington is not a swamp.
01:22:01.940 A swamp is a God designed ecosystem to purify water.
01:22:05.740 Washington is a sewer.
01:22:07.860 So let's not besmirch swamps.
01:22:10.840 I think you're right.
01:22:11.620 I think you're right.
01:22:12.440 Dad, I think you're right.
01:22:13.580 Uh, Sir Dale wrote in the founding fathers told us do not trust government.
01:22:17.440 I'll follow their advice.
01:22:18.480 I don't trust government, including this one.
01:22:21.000 Um, uh, Devin in, uh, Weiser says, uh, I don't think we should pay another dime in taxes.
01:22:30.780 Employers say no.
01:22:32.040 And we demand the IRS to be abolished.
01:22:35.220 Yeah, that's, I mean, I love that in spirit.
01:22:39.660 I do.
01:22:40.420 I was closer, you know, when I was talking about today in hour one, uh, with what's going
01:22:45.220 on in Washington and these doge people that are like, no, I don't need to answer those
01:22:48.820 five questions.
01:22:49.880 Well, I gotta, you know what?
01:22:51.240 I have a, I have a labor union that, and $144,000 job with benefits and perks and lifetime
01:22:58.400 of retirement.
01:22:59.360 Oh my gosh.
01:23:00.920 Uh, I, I really was like, I don't, I, I refuse to pay.
01:23:04.960 I mean, these people are, they don't work for the president who's duly elected.
01:23:10.360 So, you know, there's my representation, uh, Congress, they don't work for Congress.
01:23:15.220 They, I guess, work for the labor unions and themselves.
01:23:18.220 No, I mean, no taxation without representation.
01:23:23.080 Uh, Steve wrote in, how secure are these servers, uh, for the Chris Rufo, uh, sex secrets
01:23:30.220 that he exposed yesterday?
01:23:32.300 Well, I don't know.
01:23:33.400 I mean, they're supposed to be our secure servers for spooks, you know, CIA, NSA, and
01:23:39.580 everybody else to, you know, do confidential, uh, conversations.
01:23:43.060 But I mean, obviously not that secure, you know, the good thing is, is that we can just
01:23:48.960 make it clear, you know, to China, which ones have, you know, sex secrets that they could
01:23:54.880 manipulate, you know, to be able to, you know, blackmail them.
01:23:59.480 It's kind of nice though.
01:24:00.640 Don't you think?
01:24:01.160 Makes perfect sense.
01:24:02.120 Join the discussion, visit, uh, blaze tv.com slash Glenn, promo code Glenn, save $20.
01:24:08.540 Uh, by the way, I'm also going to do an extra, I don't know, 45 minutes of the show today
01:24:12.060 because we haven't had a chance to talk about Russia and Paris.
01:24:16.120 There's a Russia on the cutting room floor today.
01:24:19.200 Yeah.
01:24:19.420 That's how much stuff is going on.
01:24:20.720 I mean, it's.
01:24:21.340 That is a massive story.
01:24:23.340 Massive story.
01:24:24.100 I don't, I don't, I don't like it all that much.
01:24:26.020 I don't think it's good.
01:24:26.700 I don't think it's a positive.
01:24:29.100 There's, I'm not, I'm not settled on it yet.
01:24:31.720 I, I still am giving the benefit of the doubt, but I have a really different take on it.
01:24:37.160 I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
01:24:39.000 Uh, yeah.
01:24:39.780 I mean, I, we can go into it a little bit, maybe on the today's show if we have time,
01:24:43.000 but I do think that there is a, uh, I, the end game, if it winds up being that, uh, and
01:24:50.840 Donald Trump talked about this yesterday that, you know, uh, Putin would accept European
01:24:55.180 troops in Ukraine as, as peacekeeping force.
01:24:58.740 Um, if interesting, if that happens, which is be a massive line for Putin to let go of
01:25:04.280 and he's, if, if that happens and this thing's over, I mean, that might be a good outcome,
01:25:08.140 you know, because, uh, that would create the sort of buffer zone that both sides seem to
01:25:13.900 be looking for.
01:25:14.640 Yeah.
01:25:15.580 We'll talk about that after the show.
01:25:17.460 You'll find it on Twitter and also, uh, at blaze TV.
01:25:21.440 This is Glenn Beck.
01:25:25.180 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:25:51.460 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh , oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
01:25:59.280 Down the road where shadows hide Feel the dark on every side
01:26:04.520 Stand your ground when times get dark Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire
01:26:10.000 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:26:16.140 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:26:22.520 Last night, I'm laying in bed, I'm just trying to fall asleep.
01:26:26.420 My mind is just going a billion miles an hour.
01:26:28.520 I roll over and I see 2.41am and I'm like, good, I've got to be up by 4.30.
01:26:34.360 So that's really good.
01:26:38.160 And then I just got up and I started writing because what my mind was going through was,
01:26:44.020 I mean, does it feel like sometimes what's happening in the world is like a puzzle with pieces that are missing?
01:26:51.000 And you're like, and the edges are fraying so you can't really snap them together in place.
01:26:56.300 I read something last night that I really needed to understand first because I needed to be able to share it with you today.
01:27:07.440 And I think even with very little sleep, I think I can do it because it's important that you pay attention to one story that I guarantee no one is talking about today.
01:27:18.480 We'll do that in 60 seconds.
01:27:20.140 First, if you used to dream about owning your own home, you probably pictured the fence and the tire swing swing under the broad oak tree in the back and the breeze dancing across the freshly mown grass.
01:27:31.440 Listen, the sound of your children laughing as they played in the backyard.
01:27:35.920 What you didn't dream about was the day you'd actually try to buy that home or when you try to sell it later.
01:27:41.660 And that's when things really get real.
01:27:43.800 That's why I started realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:27:46.700 We work with the best real estate agents in your area.
01:27:50.180 The people who have decided to make this their full-time occupation and then who throw themselves into it all the way.

01:28:23.460 I don't charge you.
01:28:24.120 It is realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:28:26.840 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.
01:28:32.780 So yesterday I stumbled on something that came across X and it was a thread of posts by a guy that we have talked about here before, Alexander Dugan.
01:28:43.180 This guy is a Russian thinker whose words sometimes feel like a storm gathering on the horizon.
01:28:50.060 And most people don't know who he is, but trust me, what he's saying is not just noise.
01:28:58.980 It could shake the ground that is under all of our feet.
01:29:04.120 And especially when we're negotiating with Russia, we have to keep our eyes on Alexander Dugan.
01:29:09.380 And we have talked about him on this program before because he is important.
01:29:13.240 He's not just some random guy muttering in a basement.
01:29:16.460 He is a big and powerful voice in Russia.
01:29:18.920 And he whispers ideas to the leaders in Moscow and ideas that not only could, but have and will reshape the world in ways that, you know, you wouldn't expect.
01:29:32.380 And probably are not for his post on X.
01:29:36.860 They're cryptic lines about dark ages and technological black holes in the end of time.
01:29:42.320 And but they're not random thoughts.
01:29:46.100 And you really need to take the time like I did last night and just try to piece together.
01:29:53.140 What is he saying here?
01:29:55.360 Because they're all pieces of a story that he's telling.
01:29:58.280 And it's a story as old as humanity itself, but twisted into something new and very dangerous.
01:30:04.920 So let me explain it this way.
01:30:07.680 I want you to imagine a clock tower clock tower in an old village.
01:30:12.680 Its gears are grinding.
01:30:14.660 Its hands are now sticking and has been this way going for centuries.
01:30:18.980 But it is just barely operating.
01:30:22.020 That clock is our modern world, our science, our democracy, our smartphones, our highways built on reason and progress.
01:30:32.400 But things are starting to come up.
01:30:34.440 Right.
01:30:35.180 So Dugan looks at that clock and sees that it is breaking and its gears are rusting and its hands are spinning out of control.
01:30:43.280 And when you and I would say we got to fix that thing.
01:30:47.460 He doesn't say that he wants to smash it.
01:30:50.700 He wants to take us back to a time before the clock existed and time didn't matter before science and reason, you know, back to a mythical, almost magical age where the world was filled with mystery.
01:31:07.360 And kings and kings and gods held sway and everything felt sacred and ordered.
01:31:13.920 Basically, the heart of what he's after is a return to a past that never really existed.
01:31:19.820 You know, he's looking for King Arthur's castle.
01:31:22.600 But he believes that he believes that it can be reborn, but only through Russia.
01:31:28.160 Now, I want to take you to his post that he he posted yesterday where he talked about something called Kali Yuga.
01:31:37.660 Oh, my gosh.
01:31:39.560 It's like a long winter for the the soul of the world, an age of chaos and greed and moral rot.
01:31:48.300 But he says thinkers believe this dark age that we're currently in may end in 2025 and it will open a door to a new beginning.
01:32:00.360 Now, to you, that might sound like fairy tale or horoscopes or whatever, but to Dugan, this is a map.
01:32:07.100 It's a prophecy that he is using to argue that our world, our jobs, our freedoms, our tech is all falling apart.
01:32:16.200 And he believes that 2025, this year, could be the year the curtain drops on all of it.
01:32:22.760 Now, he's not just predicting this.
01:32:24.520 He is rooting for it.
01:32:26.660 He sees it as a chance to rebuild a world where Russia, his homeland, rises like a savior, bringing back that lost magical order.
01:32:36.060 Now, remember, his magical order is is is the fourth way it's you know, we had communism, we had capitalism and then we had fascism.
01:32:49.460 He says none of those work and fascism was close, but Hitler didn't go far enough.
01:32:55.660 His words, not mine.
01:32:57.280 And so he's got a a fourth political way.
01:33:01.080 Uh, and it is, uh, it's not one that you would like.
01:33:07.140 He also posted just on the same day, he mentioned the era of Aquarius.
01:33:13.120 And so I immediately heard the age of Aquarius, a new age idea about a coming time of change and a storm of cosmic shifts that are supposed to happen.
01:33:26.360 He believes by 2030, I just want you to picture here, a hurricane tearing through your town, ripping up the roads, the houses, everything that was built there, everything that was built, you know, with science and reason.
01:33:41.180 And then replacing that with a magic castle with, you know, my little pony.
01:33:48.760 Something that he believes is more sacred and more pure going back before we had the age of science and reason.
01:34:03.420 So yesterday he he talked about a black hole.
01:34:08.060 He called it the singularity.
01:34:09.400 And he said, just like Elon Musk did, we're at the singularity.
01:34:14.340 This singularity, we talked about it yesterday is a moment where our AI, our Elon Musk style dreams of the future collapse into something unknown and scary.
01:34:26.440 He doesn't see this as progress.
01:34:28.940 He sees this as a dark pit, a point where our modern world meets its end.
01:34:34.780 So he is screaming for the singularity to open up and swallow all of us, which will open up, you know, for his vision to happen.
01:34:46.280 So he was talking about how Trump just gets it done, has a get it done attitude, you know, a practical results first American spirit.
01:34:56.220 But, OK, he's not saying that in a good way, OK, and it's really important to remember that, you know, Satan just doesn't lie.
01:35:09.220 He takes truth and then he twists it so you can.
01:35:13.360 There's always parts of it you're like, well, no, but that's true, right?
01:35:17.220 You have to have a bit of truth to sell every lie.
01:35:20.700 So you have to be careful.
01:35:21.820 Listen, he is not praising Trump because he loves America.
01:35:26.140 He is using him as a weapon against the global order that he wants to destroy, including our democracy, our open markets, our way of life, the the liberal world order, meaning the Bill of Rights.
01:35:42.320 This is why Dugan is dangerous, because he's not just dreaming in a corner on all of this.
01:35:49.500 He's a strategist.
01:35:51.300 He's feeding these ideas to Russian leaders, including Putin.
01:35:55.280 They called him for years Putin's brain.
01:35:58.020 He's pushing for a world where America's influence is crushed and where science and reason are replaced by myth and control.
01:36:07.120 He wants Russia to lead a new empire to counterweight everything else built on a strict mystical order where everyone knows their place and the past rules the future.
01:36:20.640 So his posts on X are not just crazy rants.
01:36:24.840 You really need to know what he is talking about.
01:36:27.560 They're signals.
01:36:28.540 He is sending signals to people, calling to action the people who share his dream of a postmodern pre-science world.
01:36:37.620 Now, let me talk to you about who else he influences.
01:36:42.520 Let's talk about Iran.
01:36:46.180 Iran is Dugan is down in Iran all the time.
01:36:52.540 Dugan is Putin's voice and chief architect for the relationship between Iran and Russia.
01:36:58.540 Or, you know, what those who study the Bible might call Gog and Magog.
01:37:04.520 Just want to throw that in.
01:37:06.360 Over in Iran, as we have discussed, their spiritual leaders, they believe in a figure they call the 12th Imam or the Mahdi.
01:37:17.940 It's a kind of Messiah who will bring justice and restore a divine order at the end of time.
01:37:23.260 My studies and understanding of the 12th Imam or the Mahdi Christians would describe him as, oh, I don't know, the Antichrist.
01:37:33.240 In Iran, they always talk about speeding up his return, not the people of Iran, but the leadership of Iran.
01:37:39.480 That's why nuclear weapons are so frightening in their hands, because they do believe that the world has to be cleansed in the fire of the Islamic fury.
01:37:51.160 Their words, not mine.
01:37:53.000 That is very similar to the view Dugan has.
01:37:56.940 Dugan encourages this.
01:38:00.120 Both he and the mullahs of Iran actually believe that the world needs to be washed in blood for true faith, order, and religion to return.
01:38:11.900 Dugan and Iran, they are not buddies in the usual sense, but they're both obsessed with end times theories,
01:38:19.280 wanting to hurry history's collapse to bring in a new sacred world.
01:38:24.040 For Dugan, it's the end of Kali Yuga, or that technological black hole.
01:38:29.900 For Iran, it's the Mahdi's arrival.
01:38:34.040 Both of them see our world, our science, our freedom, our global trade, our bill of rights, as rotten, ready to be torn down and rebuilt in a new way.
01:38:45.860 Now, whether he's trying to usher in the Antichrist, I don't know.
01:38:49.200 It's a big question, and it's tricky because he doesn't use that exact term, but his words always hint at that.
01:38:56.260 In Christian tradition, the Antichrist is a figure who brings chaos and pretends to be the savior before the real savior comes.
01:39:04.500 And Dugan's talk of dark ages, black holes, technological singularities yesterday, and a new order,
01:39:11.080 sounds like he is flirting with that idea, especially as he teams up with Iran.
01:39:17.600 He sees our modern world as ruled by what he calls the prince of this world.
01:39:24.140 Kind of an evil spirit of materialism and freedom that he wants to replace.
01:39:28.860 But be very, very careful, because what I just said, you could say, well, this is kind of a, this is ruled by the prince of this world, and it's kind of evil to what we, yes, it is.
01:39:39.380 But remember, truth mixed with lies.
01:39:43.160 Whether he's constantly calling for the Antichrist or he's just tapping into that energy,
01:39:48.060 his vision could, and he wants it, to lead there, accelerating chaos, to give birth to something that he believes is divine, but has to be destructive at first.
01:40:02.260 So is this evil?
01:40:04.480 I don't know.
01:40:05.420 Evil depends on perspective, doesn't it?
01:40:08.340 I mean, the imams or the mullahs over in Iran think we're evil.
01:40:14.100 He doesn't see himself as evil.
01:40:16.020 He sees himself as a savior and Russia as a savior, restoring the lost purity to the world.
01:40:22.100 But his goals of smashing science, democracy, and individual freedom to impose a rigid mystical hierarchy that would lead to suffering on a biblical scale.
01:40:34.280 You know, anybody who's ever tried that in the past, we label them later as evil.
01:40:39.600 So, yeah, I mean, he's not twirling his mustache and cackling while he ties Nell to the railroad tracks, but he does push a vision that destroys everything that we hold dear.
01:40:52.500 And if that vision takes hold, it will crush the freedoms that you and I cherish.
01:40:59.400 This is why he's dangerous.
01:41:04.440 His passion, he wants to ignite a fire that burns the world as we know it.
01:41:10.160 We are in a very, very precarious situation, and it's come clear to me over the last few weeks that perhaps we were saved this last election because we have bigger fish to fry.
01:41:30.840 That there are much deeper spiritual things that are happening, and you saw them exposed by Christopher Rufo yesterday.
01:41:41.100 What's happening in Washington?
01:41:42.480 That is spiritual rot.
01:41:46.360 And there's two ways to go.
01:41:48.080 We can go for the chaos route, which, by the way, is Dugan's personal symbol or logo, if you want.
01:41:54.100 It's the ancient sign of chaos.
01:41:57.100 And let's just remember who the father of chaos is.
01:41:59.560 Dugan's clock tower isn't just breaking.
01:42:10.820 He's announcing that it's about to crash, and he is handing out hammers to anyone who will help him smash and then rebuild it the way he wants.
01:42:21.620 You need to stay awake.
01:42:24.000 Listen carefully.
01:42:25.000 Don't let the trick of false light or shadows bind you to the storm that he and others are brewing.
01:42:31.820 We're not just talking about ideas.
01:42:33.720 We're talking about the future.
01:42:35.180 And Dugan's dream could drag us back into a darkness we have spent centuries trying to escape.
01:42:42.220 But God's given us all the power to see it.
01:42:45.260 You just have to know what to look for, and you have to stay close to him.
01:42:48.360 You have to question it to be able to stand against it.
01:42:53.360 And that's where the true light will start.
01:42:57.320 Make sure you find the true light, because the darkness is out of the shadows, and there are other things that are happening in this world besides what's happening in Washington.
01:43:10.320 Hamas made it pretty clear last week that the war between them and Israel is not over.
01:43:16.880 Their disgusting and flagrant disregard for the lives of the hostages pretty well proves that.
01:43:22.560 In other words, Israel still needs our help in this time of need.
01:43:27.220 And if you want to offer help and hope, you can do that by giving a gift today to IFCJ.
01:43:33.680 It will provide critically needed aid to communities in the north and the south devastated by the war.
01:43:40.240 Any donation will deliver help and hope to those in need, including the evacuees and the refugees from the war-torn areas, the first responders, the volunteers, the wounded soldiers.
01:43:51.900 All of these people, so many people have lost everything.
01:43:55.940 Giving hope during a time of great uncertainty is a real blessing.
01:43:59.220 So give a gift to bless Israel and her people by visiting supportifcj.org.
01:44:05.840 That's one word, supportifcj.org, or call 888-488-IFCJ.
01:44:12.200 That's 888-488-IFCJ.
01:44:15.500 Call them now.

01:44:18.420 10 seconds, station ID.
01:44:29.220 So, you know, I fear that for most people, because if you understand what is coming technologically, the singularity, you know how important this is.
01:44:50.540 But most people don't understand it, and it's something that I've been talking about for almost 30 years off and on to try to prepare people, but nobody really paid attention.
01:45:01.840 And I fear that people are not paying attention yet because they think what's coming our way is a new iPhone.
01:45:08.740 They think that it's, you know, some new technology that will change us like the iPhone did, which was pretty profound in its change.
01:45:16.060 I mean, look at that.
01:45:17.640 This is not the iPhone.
01:45:20.320 It's not anywhere close to the iPhone.
01:45:24.640 And when Dugan and Musk and everybody else start talking about the singularity, and you see the speed of which things are now picking up at.
01:45:37.280 If you're not paying attention to technology right now, you have no idea.
01:45:42.640 If you think that Donald Trump is moving at lightning speed, look at the growth in technology in the last 10 days.
01:45:52.420 And I want to talk to you about the last 10 days here in just a second because I'm going to give you just one figure when we come back that it took me like 15 minutes.
01:46:05.340 And I've been pondering it ever since I read it yesterday.
01:46:07.680 I keep going back to it going, wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:46:10.440 Think of that number.
01:46:12.740 Think about the size of that growth.
01:46:16.040 It's incomprehensible how much has grown in the last 10 days.
01:46:21.180 And we'll give that to you here and some perspective on it coming up in just a minute.
01:46:25.380 Also going to be doing a special after show show because I want to talk to you about Colony Ridge and also what's happening with Russia, Europe, and Donald Trump.
01:46:37.460 And what I think is really going on there.
01:46:39.400 We'll be doing that.

01:47:08.120 You know, one of those things that stands out the most to me about American financing,
01:47:12.300 more than just about any other company that I talk about on this program,
01:47:16.180 is they had to prove themselves to me because this is a mortgage company.
01:47:21.580 And when they first came to me, I said to them, yeah, no thanks,
01:47:26.220 because I saw the collapse of 2008 when it was coming.
01:47:30.380 They called me and wanted to be a sponsor on the program, and I said no to them in 2007.
01:47:34.500 And I said, call me after the collapse.
01:47:36.740 And they're like, no, no, Glenn, we actually believe you're right about the collapse that's coming,
01:47:40.280 and we don't do all of those things.
01:47:41.460 And I said, well, we'll see how your people fare after the collapse.
01:47:45.140 And I talked to them after, and their people were fine because they don't work for the banks.
01:47:49.700 They work for you.
01:47:51.520 They had an uphill climb proving themselves if I was going to endorse them to you.
01:47:55.480 And here we are all those years later because they did prove themselves and continue to,
01:48:00.300 and now they are saving people in this audience over $800 a month.

01:48:19.560 So on Sunday, Elon Musk, the man who flings rockets into the heavens and dreams of Martian soil beneath his boots,
01:48:41.160 posted something on X that was pretty fascinating.
01:48:44.640 I talked about it a bit yesterday.
01:48:46.000 He said, and I quote, we are on the event horizon of the singularity.
01:48:51.680 Eight words, eight words that carry the weight of centuries.
01:48:58.740 It is a whisper of a future so immense that it threatens to swallow us whole unless we keep our eyes wide open.
01:49:06.320 And even then, we just might be looking at the beast as it comes to swallow us.
01:49:11.900 The singularity, most people don't even know what it is.
01:49:14.680 It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie.
01:49:16.640 Oh, robots in trench coats with laser eyes.
01:49:19.280 No, it's I mean, you're not wrong to feel that way.
01:49:21.440 Most people hear AI and they're like, all they think of is Siri saying, here's what I found on the Internet or their Roomba, you know, bumping into the couch.
01:49:30.580 That's not AI.
01:49:31.600 They imagine this moment that Musk is talking about is something like the iPhone dropping in 2007.
01:49:42.720 A neat little gadget, shiny toy, step forward, big one, but you can wrap your head around that one.
01:49:49.160 But that's not what this is.
01:49:50.700 We're not standing on the edge of a new app or a faster processor.
01:49:54.740 We are teetering on the lip of a chasm, a black hole of change.
01:49:59.720 And once we cross that event horizon, there's no turning back.
01:50:04.540 This is not a ripple that is coming.
01:50:07.260 It's a tidal wave.
01:50:08.260 It's it's it's 400 years of progress, but not stretched out over generations.
01:50:15.320 It's 400 years crammed into the next five.
01:50:19.480 And no one, not me, not Elon Musk, not the brightest minds in Silicon Valley can tell you what life looks like five years from now.
01:50:27.960 So let me paint you a picture, kind of a metaphor to tether this to something real.
01:50:33.960 Imagine that you're a farmer in 1625 and you're standing in a money field in the colonial Virginia.
01:50:41.300 Your world is really pretty simple.
01:50:44.060 Wooden plows, horses, candlelight, rhythm of the seasons, sleep when it's dark.
01:50:50.740 And you hear rumors of a contraption called a steam engine.
01:50:55.340 But it's just a whisper, you know, curiosity over 100 years away from affecting your life.
01:51:01.360 Now blink, you're standing out in that field.
01:51:04.980 You heard about this thing called a steam engine.
01:51:07.920 You blink and it's 2025 and you're here with me standing here staring at a smartphone that holds the knowledge of every library since Alexandria.
01:51:21.300 My voice is coming out of that smartphone.
01:51:24.040 And it's a device that you can use to summon your car to the doorstep or beam your voice across the ocean.
01:51:30.880 That's 400 years of change that fast.
01:51:35.920 And that's what's coming.
01:51:37.880 Horse to horsepower.
01:51:39.660 Quill to quantum.
01:51:40.960 You know, it took inventors and dreamers, wars and revolutions to drag us from that field to today.
01:51:50.740 But now picture this, all of that upheaval, all of that transformation squeezed into the next five years, not centuries, not decades.
01:51:59.520 Five little trips around our sun.
01:52:02.340 That's what Musk is talking about when he talks about the singularity.
01:52:07.740 That's the event horizon that we're brushing against.
01:52:11.580 And here's where the story gets even wilder.
01:52:14.020 Just in the last 10 days, you're not going to be able to keep up with the news very soon.
01:52:19.400 If you think Trump is moving fast, watch technology.
01:52:23.140 In the last 10 days, 10 days, AI hasn't tiptoed forward.
01:52:28.660 It has sprinted.
01:52:29.820 And take XAI, Elon's own outfit.
01:52:33.500 They rolled out Grok 3.
01:52:35.900 That was a machine so sharp that it made its predecessor, which almost collapsed the stock market two weeks ago from China, look like an abacus.
01:52:48.080 I don't know if you spent any time with Grok 3, but I have.
01:52:51.920 And let me tell you, it's not just answering questions.
01:52:54.100 It is thinking, it is weaving threads of logic faster than any human mind can dream.
01:53:00.960 And reports say XAI has now cranked up the compute power by 15 times.
01:53:09.560 What does that mean?
01:53:11.220 Well, it hits something that I didn't understand.
01:53:15.440 400 exaflops.
01:53:18.000 I don't know what it sounds like.
01:53:19.540 Something I do in a pool.
01:53:21.800 For the uninitiated, that is a number so big.
01:53:26.320 It's like counting every grain of sand on every beach and then multiplying that number by the stars.
01:53:36.460 Got it?
01:53:37.340 Kind of a big number.
01:53:40.780 Meanwhile, NVIDIA is cooking up chips.
01:53:43.440 Ruben, they call it.
01:53:44.940 A promise of four to five times the power of what I just described to you.
01:53:50.580 And don't sleep because OpenAI, the O1 model, is about to be introduced.
01:53:57.720 And it's not going to pair it.
01:54:00.960 They say it's going to fully reason.
01:54:03.180 Then Claude is perhaps coming out this week, which is supposed to dwarf XAI's Grok.
01:54:08.780 And then Gemini, which is supposed to come out, which will dwarf Claude.
01:54:12.760 We're talking in a 10-day period.
01:54:15.740 This is kind of a lot of stuff.
01:54:19.000 This is why what Musk said on the event horizon is so important.
01:54:25.280 10 days.
01:54:26.000 10 days of leaps that used to take 10 years.
01:54:28.720 So, what is an event horizon?
01:54:33.060 Well, let me lean into the black hole idea that Musk loves to use.
01:54:37.540 Picture yourself in a rowboat.
01:54:39.720 You're on a calm lake.
01:54:41.500 You're paddling along.
01:54:42.920 You're having fun.
01:54:43.960 Maybe your bow has an umbrella and a lace dress.
01:54:50.860 And you're like, we're in a Manet painting.
01:54:53.900 And all of a sudden, you know, the shore is in sight and it feels all manageable.
01:54:59.640 And then you hear, and you're like, what, what, what?
01:55:03.280 And then you realize there's a waterfall ahead.
01:55:05.620 A drop so steep that you can't see the bottom.
01:55:08.960 The event horizon is that line where the current grabs you and no amount of rowing can get you out of it.
01:55:16.640 It just sucks you down.
01:55:18.000 The water rushes so fast in this scenario, it bends time itself.
01:55:24.960 That's where we are with AI.
01:55:27.440 We're in a boat.
01:55:28.420 The rumble's getting louder.
01:55:30.260 And very soon, any day now, we're going to be in that part where we're not going to be able to row ourselves back.
01:55:37.820 Once artificial intelligence crosses this line, when it's not just mimicking us, but soon out thinking us, rewriting itself, accelerating beyond our grasp, we're over the edge.
01:55:51.020 And just like a black hole twists light into spaghetti, spaghettification, the singularity is going to twist our world into shapes that we cannot predict.
01:56:01.320 And, you know, while I say these things and I know what they generally mean, I'm so far out of my depth here.
01:56:10.020 I have to listen and talk to experts every day to understand it.
01:56:14.940 What I do understand makes the hair on my neck stand up because we have got to wake up.
01:56:23.640 The average person, you and me, the guy at the gas station, thinks this is just another tech upgrade that is coming, but they're picturing the iPhone moment.
01:56:33.280 You know, Steve Jobs on stage, you know, holding this sleek little device and everybody's like, ooh, ah.
01:56:38.280 And he's like, and you can watch something called the internet on it.
01:56:44.120 This isn't a phone.
01:56:45.020 It's not that.
01:56:46.320 This isn't a tool we control.
01:56:47.640 This is a force that could remake everything, your work, your love, your war, your faith, in ways we can't even begin to fathom right now.
01:56:59.000 Imagine waking up in 2030 and there's no jobs because machines do absolutely everything and the city is run by algorithms.
01:57:07.520 Arts painted by circuits, AIs making all of the pop stars and the music's better than it ever was.
01:57:13.780 And your thoughts are whispered back to you by a chip in your own skull.
01:57:21.640 That's not a gadget.
01:57:23.980 That's our next reality.
01:57:27.180 So let me take you back again and just connect a couple of the dots.
01:57:31.660 Go back to the printing press.
01:57:34.380 Gutenberg's little machine.
01:57:35.900 It didn't just make books cheaper.
01:57:39.580 Remember, 1440, it cracked the Middle Ages wide open.
01:57:44.140 It fueled the Renaissance, the Reformation.
01:57:47.540 The idea that, for once, a farmer's son could read the Bible and question a king.
01:57:55.300 Because only kings really had the Bible.
01:57:58.680 That was a small singularity of its day.
01:58:01.640 A spark that lit a firestorm of change.
01:58:04.760 Jump to 18, what, 79, Edison in his light bulb.
01:58:08.460 It wasn't just about turning on the light.
01:58:12.320 It didn't just banish darkness.
01:58:14.340 It rewired society.
01:58:16.540 Factories started humming at night.
01:58:19.280 Cities became electric veins.
01:58:24.200 Every shift felt gradual, though.
01:58:28.500 Because it unfolded over lifetimes.
01:58:30.740 But AI is not.
01:58:32.620 It's going to compress those revolutions into a heartbeat.
01:58:35.520 In five years, we leap from today's chatbot to machines that outsmart Einstein, design city, cure diseases, or, God forbid, decide that we're obsolete.
01:58:46.580 But the real thing that I want to pass on to you today is it's not about tech.
01:58:51.620 It's really not.
01:58:52.540 This is about us.
01:58:54.700 This is about what does it mean to be human?
01:58:57.260 When our ground is shifting under our feet, what does it mean to be human?
01:59:04.340 Because if Musk is right and we're at that event horizon, the next five years are not just a chapter.
01:59:10.800 It is a whole new book.
01:59:13.420 And we're not the author of that book.
01:59:16.320 It will.
01:59:17.700 Humans will no longer write the story.
01:59:21.080 So, how do we explain this to the guy who thinks it's just a fancier iPhone?
01:59:28.940 How do we tell him it's not a tool?
01:59:30.740 It's a mirror.
01:59:33.340 AI will reflect us for a while.
01:59:35.760 Back to ourselves.
01:59:36.840 Our brilliance.
01:59:37.580 Our flaws.
01:59:38.300 And then soon, it will be a lens that we cannot unsee.
01:59:42.920 And it will forever be seeing us.
01:59:45.840 It's literally everything we do, think, and dream.
01:59:49.700 Literally, it will know our dreams.
01:59:53.420 It's not a phone in your pocket.
01:59:56.040 It's a new compass for a world where North may not exist anymore.
02:00:02.960 So, if we're staring down 400 years of change in five, you don't stand and gawk at the waterfall.
02:00:09.400 You've got to grab the oars, not to roll the boat back because you can't, but to steer it through.
02:00:19.520 And what's our compass?
02:00:21.860 It's not code.
02:00:23.160 It's not circuits.
02:00:24.500 It's the stuff that has always kept humanity steady when the storms hit.
02:00:29.540 It's family.
02:00:30.900 It's the voices around your table.
02:00:32.800 It's the hands you hold when the lights flicker.
02:00:35.480 It's relationships.
02:00:36.700 It's your children, your grandchildren.
02:00:38.180 The friend who calls you out when you're wrong.
02:00:40.820 The neighbor who shares their bread when you're hungry.
02:00:44.000 It's the principles and the truths that you die for.
02:00:48.040 The lines that you will never cross.
02:00:51.240 And yes, what makes us human is God.
02:00:54.800 The anchor beyond the horizon.
02:00:57.200 The voice that whispers purpose when the machines cannot.
02:01:03.280 AI is going to cure cancer.
02:01:05.360 I don't know how, but it could do it by just rewriting our entire genetic code.
02:01:10.380 Is that a good idea?
02:01:12.140 It'll help us colonize Mars, but it will not answer why we're here.
02:01:17.020 It won't hug your kid when they scrape their knee or forgive you when you've lost your way.
02:01:21.220 In the last 10 days, I have watched Grok 3 string sentences that stun me, but it doesn't feel the weight of them.
02:01:30.040 That's our job.
02:01:31.460 And this singularity, as it looms, we have got to wrestle with the big questions.
02:01:39.180 What is real?
02:01:40.140 What is worth fighting for?
02:01:41.920 What keeps us human when lines blur?
02:01:44.540 You have to explore this tech, but do not let the dazzle of tech blind you to the flesh and blood beside you, the eternal truths that are above you, nor the natural wonders and miracles that are all around you.
02:02:04.440 Picture this one last metaphor.
02:02:08.320 You're a pioneer on a wagon train, 1840.
02:02:10.580 You're creaking across the plains.
02:02:12.720 Ahead is the mountain range.
02:02:14.760 And I'm like, I'm not going, right?
02:02:16.960 That's when I check out.
02:02:18.000 I'm not going.
02:02:20.220 It's a jagged unknown that is promising gold or ruin.
02:02:24.860 The mountain range is the singularity, and we're rolling towards it really fast.
02:02:31.900 Some are going to see there's gold in them bar hills, and they will chase it blind.
02:02:37.860 Others will cling to the old trails, pretending the peaks just don't exist.
02:02:43.000 But the wise, the wise are going to pack their wagons tight, their food, their faith, their family, and they're going to climb that mountain with their eyes wide open.
02:02:52.880 They'll know the journey's not about the mountain.
02:02:56.420 It's about who's with you when you reach the other side.
02:03:03.840 This isn't an iPhone moment.
02:03:05.720 It's a reckoning.
02:03:09.340 When the waterfall takes us, it's not tech that will save us.
02:03:13.580 It is the true north that we will all carry inside of us.
02:03:18.040 Make sure your compass is pointing true north now.
02:03:27.800 How often do you point out something that you bought with real justifiable pride?
02:03:32.580 How often do you use a product that you tell people about, and you're like, I do business with these people because I love the things they stand for.
02:03:39.040 That's how I feel about Patriot Mobile.
02:03:42.080 I love doing business with them because I love the things they stand for.
02:03:45.080 All of a sudden, you're going to find yourself proud of the mobile company that you do business with.

02:04:01.880 They offer nationwide, dependable coverage with access to all three major networks.
02:04:06.300 You're going to get the same coverage without sending money to leftist causes, and their customer service is, I believe, better than others.

02:04:33.920 The truth stripped down like a fence post in a prairie storm.
02:04:39.980 Glenn Beck returns after this.
02:04:42.220 It's going to be a great day.
02:05:02.040 Hello, you sick freak.
02:05:03.360 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
02:05:05.440 Thanks, Glenn.
02:05:05.920 I've been here the whole time, though.
02:05:06.940 You don't need to welcome me now.
02:05:08.020 I haven't really noticed that you were even here.
02:05:09.760 Me neither.
02:05:10.340 Let me, geez, we've got so much to talk about yet.
02:05:16.640 Can you stay for just a couple of minutes?
02:05:18.900 I'm going to do an extra show on X and also on Blaze TV for subscribers because we didn't get a chance to talk about Russia.
02:05:27.920 I really want to talk about the Congo story.
02:05:30.120 Oh, yeah.
02:05:30.580 The Congo story is pretty interesting.
02:05:31.880 Yeah, your mood may not improve.
02:05:36.780 No, no.
02:05:38.000 I'll tell you that.
02:05:38.560 Let's just say it involves bats.
02:05:41.980 This is Glenn Beck.
02:05:44.260 Hey, so here we are.
02:06:00.600 It's kind of an after after show show thing just finished and just had so much to talk about today.
02:06:07.860 We didn't get a chance to talk about a couple of really big things.
02:06:10.040 One of them is Russia, and so Stu's here and also Jason Buttrell, who is our chief researcher and global affairs.
02:06:17.720 You know, then I don't mean politics.
02:06:19.820 He has affairs all over the globe.
02:06:22.520 And I want to just talk about let's start with with Russia, because I think what Donald Trump is doing is playing five dimensional chess.
02:06:29.980 I hope so.
02:06:32.340 Yeah, I hope so.
02:06:33.060 I hope so, too.
02:06:33.880 But I give him the benefit of the doubt, because I think that's what he's doing.
02:06:37.720 You know, he he went in is like, you know what?
02:06:40.260 We need your rare earth minerals.
02:06:42.480 And at first that bothered me.
02:06:43.940 And then I'm like, well, now, wait a minute.
02:06:45.460 Hang on just a second.
02:06:46.420 What are we going to be giving?
02:06:47.560 Because it's not just for the hundred billion or two hundred billion or seven hundred trillion that we actually sent over there.
02:06:53.260 It's I think it is look, you want to make sure Russia never comes in.
02:07:02.420 You make sure we have vested interest here.
02:07:06.700 He's negotiating like a guy who's trying to get the best deal for America.
02:07:10.820 We're not going to come in.
02:07:12.420 We have no interest here.
02:07:13.780 However, we have to have rare earth minerals.
02:07:17.300 This is China's Silk and Road thing.
02:07:19.320 Is it not?
02:07:19.940 Yeah, before I address that, I would like to say that that the fact that war, the potential of World War three made the after show is amazing.
02:07:28.380 What the hell was being talked about in the other three hours?
02:07:31.100 Yeah, I know.
02:07:31.560 In a Glenn Beck radio show.
02:07:32.880 Yeah, I know.
02:07:33.320 It's crazy.
02:07:34.120 I will say with the with the rare earth minerals things, I think it's genius on a couple of different levels.
02:07:38.380 On one, he's bringing out into the open exactly what the Democrats have been after since 2014 and before.
02:07:45.520 So now he's laying out on the table.
02:07:48.340 No more secret.
02:07:49.380 Okay.
02:07:50.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:07:50.560 This is what the establishment on my side wants.
02:07:54.040 Now, will it benefit this side of the establishment, you know, this side of the party as well?
02:07:57.620 Sure.
02:07:58.160 But let's just put all of our cards out on the table.
02:08:00.420 That is how you negotiate.
02:08:01.600 Not by holding in a little secret compartment, which I'm not saying you have one of those at your poker table, like at the ranch.
02:08:08.280 I'm not saying that exists.
02:08:09.480 Yeah.
02:08:09.680 But there's no secret little thing out here.
02:08:11.620 You know, he's putting all the.
02:08:13.100 Oh, don't worry about it, Stu.
02:08:14.040 Don't worry about it.
02:08:14.560 Come play poker.
02:08:15.100 Just come play poker with me.
02:08:17.060 Yeah, yeah.
02:08:17.580 Sometime.
02:08:18.700 So you're just putting all the cards on the table.
02:08:20.400 That's how negotiations are done.
02:08:21.780 But he's also doing something else.
02:08:23.400 He's signaling to Putin, look, there's nothing.
02:08:25.260 I'm not hiding anything here.
02:08:26.960 Yeah.
02:08:27.160 This is all about interests.
02:08:29.500 Right?
02:08:29.660 So if you want to deal with us, you're dealing with hard-nosed geopolitical interests.
02:08:37.200 Yes.
02:08:37.460 There's nothing else here at stake but that.
02:08:39.440 Now you can come to the negotiating table and offer me something.
02:08:42.260 I can offer you something.
02:08:43.400 We're not trying to be a gateway into your country.
02:08:46.240 This is our interest here.
02:08:48.040 Our interest is that.
02:08:49.640 We don't want any trouble with you.
02:08:51.320 We're not going to put, you know, a superhighway into Russia because our interest is in Ukraine and we want the rare earth minerals because we need them if we're going to lead the world in tech.
02:09:04.960 I think it's absolutely brilliant.
02:09:07.120 And you notice he flexed that muscle first.
02:09:11.820 He looks like he's cozying up to Russia because he needs to be able to, you know, flex with Russia.
02:09:19.800 He has to have the rare earth minerals.
02:09:22.340 Well, now you got the United States in here and it's not NATO, but you have the United States.
02:09:26.680 So we're not going to put up with, I mean, you're not doing this again.
02:09:30.200 And so he's played this, I think, I mean, he is perhaps the best negotiator any country has ever had.
02:09:39.260 And I will say that this is not revolutionary thought here.
02:09:42.380 This is the way foreign policy, things like that used to be done.
02:09:46.040 It's just post-Cold War, we shifted into this hazy, like, no, we're doing this because we're the most righteous nation in the planet, even though we're also cool with the Saudis and Erdogan and Turkey, I think.
02:09:59.380 You know, like, there's nothing, it's just about interest here.
02:10:02.980 And you do not do-
02:10:04.140 It's transparency.
02:10:05.260 It's transparency.
02:10:06.120 And you also, you do a, you do a negotiation by recognizing that both sides have interests in this thing.
02:10:14.320 You do not do a negotiation when you have the UN, which we all know is ridiculous anyway and worthless, but when every single year they're going to do this ceremonial vote, which they just had again, where they say, let's condemn Russia for their invasion again.
02:10:28.020 But why?
02:10:29.200 Let's, we're doing it again.
02:10:30.940 Okay, but, but, but why?
02:10:33.040 Does it have anything at all to do with there's certain sides of people at the table that now are looking for peace and not war?
02:10:39.640 Yes.
02:10:40.100 Oh, crap.
02:10:40.620 I wasn't supposed to say that.
02:10:41.680 Right.
02:10:42.080 No, no, no, no.
02:10:42.800 We're just going to do it again.
02:10:44.200 Right.
02:10:44.480 We're going to vote again so that they look like the bad guys, the ultimate evil guy twisting their mustachios, and we look like the guy that's coming to save the chick that's tied up on the railroad.
02:10:53.040 That's why we want to do it.
02:10:54.060 And then look at how he's treated Macron.
02:10:56.680 Yesterday, Macron comes in and he was like a little lapdog for Donald Trump.
02:11:02.360 Oh, you are so great.
02:11:03.680 I had the wonderful chat with you.
02:11:05.080 And he all of a sudden, okay, we're going to do 4% of our GDP is going to go.
02:11:11.120 I mean, look at what Donald Trump got from Macron and an understanding that we're not going to put any boots there.
02:11:19.660 You want to guarantee the peace?
02:11:22.220 You can guarantee that we're not putting boots there.
02:11:24.240 We're not doing that.
02:11:25.520 Now, no president has ever done this in my life.
02:11:28.440 Yeah.
02:11:28.640 I mean, I can't.
02:11:29.620 I mean, it's sad to say that that's what we have to admit now after this many years and this much escalation.
02:11:35.780 And I think that now going back to the UN vote, which is what everybody was clutching their pearls on, you know, that we kind of – well, we did vote along with Russia and not condemning this invasion because we've already done it in the past.
02:11:50.440 Everyone understands.
02:11:51.620 Stu's giving me the stink eye, and I'm just going to, like, say this anyway.
02:11:54.780 Because, yes, obviously everyone agrees that the invasion shouldn't have happened.
02:11:59.340 All the people should not have died.
02:12:00.940 This is a bad thing.
02:12:01.900 And Russia did do that.
02:12:03.840 But why say it again?
02:12:05.040 That's not how you advance in any kind of negotiation.
02:12:08.380 That's not how you do it.
02:12:09.560 Most of these articles are not putting the main headline that the United States offered a counter-resolution that did get voted on, not in the General Assembly, but amongst the Security Council, which did pass, which took out all the inflammatory language.
02:12:21.020 It did not finger-point back and forth.
02:12:23.460 It acknowledged the fact that this invasion sucks, that war sucks, and all these people have died.
02:12:27.740 What do you get out of finger-pointing?
02:12:30.020 That's just beating your chest.
02:12:31.660 War.
02:12:31.980 Yeah.
02:12:32.280 That's what you get.
02:12:32.820 That's it.
02:12:33.720 I mean, we got that.
02:12:34.760 You know, everybody finger-pointed at the Treaty of Versailles.
02:12:37.700 Congratulations on that one.
02:12:39.220 Yeah.
02:12:39.460 That worked out well.
02:12:40.700 Yeah, I don't care about the resolution at all.
02:12:42.400 Yeah, I don't care either.
02:12:43.400 We've already done that.
02:12:44.600 I mean, I don't know.
02:12:45.340 I think it's relatively clear what happened at the beginning of this, you know, war.
02:12:50.680 That being said, it's like, I think you get hung up in Donald Trump's negotiations a little bit too much, I think.
02:12:57.180 Sure.
02:12:57.360 It's like, he's negotiating with someone.
02:13:01.340 It ain't us.
02:13:02.620 So, I don't need to chase him around every little corner and everything he says because it does me no good.
02:13:08.000 I want to judge him on his results.
02:13:09.500 And like, you know, for example, he at least claims, again, this is not done, but he claims that he has, that Putin has now approved European troops inside of Ukraine.
02:13:19.440 That's true.
02:13:20.020 That's a major concession from Russia.
02:13:22.240 I mean, I would like Russia to get nothing out of this because I think that they were the aggressor here.
02:13:26.220 However, you know, we are where we are.
02:13:29.540 And if we want this thing to end and not blow up into World War III, we have to, at some point, look at this and come to some sort of conclusion.
02:13:37.240 And I just, I want it over without it blowing up into a giant nuclear war.
02:13:42.300 And I also want, in the future, Russia to be prevented from doing this again.
02:13:48.040 And I think that's probably the best Ukraine can help for, or hope for at this point.
02:13:51.420 They're not going to get Crimea back.
02:13:52.940 It's probably not happening.
02:13:54.280 No.
02:13:54.560 Now, they can try, by the way, we should point out, they can try.
02:13:58.200 They can do all this stuff on their own.
02:14:00.340 They are a sovereign nation and can try to do everything they want to try to get that territory back.
02:14:05.580 But we are not required to participate in that.
02:14:08.180 Correct.
02:14:08.600 And, you know, if they want to go to Europe and get all that money for all that stuff, okay.
02:14:12.200 But, I mean, we have a new president.
02:14:13.360 He has new policy.
02:14:14.520 We do have to honor what the country, you know, did.
02:14:17.980 I think it's weird to go to Ukraine and say, hey, here's all this money, and then later on act like they have to pay it back.
02:14:23.680 They don't.
02:14:24.100 They don't have to pay it back, probably, because we did make promises by a guy who unfortunately was president of the United States, Joe Biden.
02:14:29.800 That being said, Donald Trump also has the opportunity as a new president to change the policy and to try to change the dynamic of this negotiation.
02:14:37.420 Seems like that's what he's trying to do.
02:14:39.160 I'm not going to sit here and just chase around everywhere.
02:14:41.000 But because he starts calling, you know, Zelensky names, I don't need to freaking upend my life.
02:14:46.460 I don't know.
02:14:47.020 Like, let's see where this thing ends.
02:14:48.340 Let's see what he does.
02:14:48.980 He called him a rocket man.
02:14:49.840 Yeah, exactly.
02:14:50.740 These are all negotiations.
02:14:52.340 And we act as if this guy wasn't already president.
02:14:54.720 We saw all this.
02:14:56.780 This is all.
02:14:57.420 We all saw this before.
02:14:58.760 And the deals he has made so far, assuming that they all come through, you know, in Latin America, Israel, Israel, worked out really well.
02:15:11.720 The way he is dealing with these countries is working.
02:15:16.480 Yeah.
02:15:16.720 Did you, by the way, see CPAC, how many leaders of foreign countries were there for his speech at CPAC?
02:15:23.840 It was remarkable.
02:15:26.200 Yeah.
02:15:26.460 Hungary, Poland.
02:15:28.800 Who else was there?
02:15:30.900 Argentina, El Salvador.
02:15:34.780 Gosh, just a bunch of countries that are thinking like we are thinking now.
02:15:39.460 It was nice to see.
02:15:40.360 It's because the style is transactional.
02:15:43.420 Yes.
02:15:43.560 It's like business.
02:15:44.480 It's business.
02:15:45.640 You're never going to get anywhere with some of these countries and get anything pulled off like the Abraham Accords.
02:15:50.520 When you come in and say, look, I'm directing these negotiations.
02:15:52.800 Why?
02:15:53.280 Because we're the United States of effing America.
02:15:55.900 Yeah, and we're better than you.
02:15:56.880 And we're so much better than you.
02:15:58.340 That gets nowhere.
02:15:59.520 You get nothing done.
02:16:00.920 But what does get done is when you say, look, this is what you can get.
02:16:03.980 This is what we want.
02:16:05.200 Can we meet in the middle?
02:16:06.440 Barack Obama would have called this pragmatic.
02:16:09.360 But what you just described is how he talks to our allies, which is, I think, disconcerting to a lot of people, right?
02:16:17.240 Like he bosses them around and he tosses them around and that's how he changes the dynamic.
02:16:22.060 This is so ridiculous.
02:16:23.040 I hate that.
02:16:23.580 But he hates how he does.
02:16:24.300 And so allies do not mean marriage for life.
02:16:28.200 No.
02:16:28.600 That's the same thing.
02:16:29.420 I'm going to say the thing that's going to piss off a lot of people right now.
02:16:32.380 But NATO is a temporary alliance, not marriage for life.
02:16:37.540 True.
02:16:37.740 Agreed.
02:16:37.940 That's what it is.
02:16:38.900 And when it stops.
02:16:39.580 When it's beneficial for us, we stay in it.
02:16:41.340 And if it's not, we don't.
02:16:42.420 Exactly.
02:16:42.780 You know, look, you can argue all the, you know, I know you've done shows on this, Jason, in particular, but it's like at the end of the day, like this is how he does it.
02:16:51.760 He's nice to our enemies and he's mean to our allies.
02:16:54.780 That is how he, that's how he operates at the beginning of a negotiation.
02:16:58.180 Yeah.
02:16:58.260 He usually has some sort of end game in mind.
02:17:01.480 And it may very well be our interest in these minerals, right, where we do benefit from them as a country, but also.
02:17:09.680 So do they.
02:17:10.220 It puts us in a position where we don't want Russia to go in there anymore.
02:17:15.460 And that this probably long term benefits them.
02:17:18.360 Yes.
02:17:18.780 Even though they might not like it.
02:17:20.060 Yes.
02:17:20.260 Again, I, it might, he might not go down this road.
02:17:23.460 I don't know.
02:17:23.960 We're all analyzing some weird code, but that's the point.
02:17:27.160 Like I just, I'm out of the code game at this point.
02:17:29.700 Let's see where he lands.
02:17:30.760 Let's see what happens.
02:17:31.340 If you would start with the premise, he loves the country and he's not trying to enrich himself or his buddies.
02:17:38.260 He loves the country.
02:17:39.440 He's trying to make a good deal for the country and the world.
02:17:43.940 You have no problem with this because every time he has done these things, he has made a better deal.
02:17:50.800 But I think it's funny to extend it real quick, Jason.
02:17:53.060 The other side of this is also true.
02:17:54.960 The media views him through the prism that he's a fascist and Hitler and the worst person on the world.
02:18:00.980 And he hates America.
02:18:02.080 So if you view it for that, for that prism, you can also find all the negatives because he's saying everything.
02:18:07.760 He's saying all really good things and all really bad things and all over the place.
02:18:11.780 And that's how he manages these things.
02:18:13.260 Little rocket man.
02:18:14.380 Right.
02:18:14.680 He's going to vaporize it.
02:18:17.140 And he's my best friend.
02:18:17.900 And he's my best friend.
02:18:19.060 It's like, it's all he's all.
02:18:20.960 This is how he does these things.
02:18:22.640 And if you realize that, you kind of like, you know, you back off.
02:18:26.320 It's like, you know, you're watching a Fast and Furious sequel.
02:18:29.500 It's like there's lots of car crashes.
02:18:31.060 But at the end, they're going to say family a bunch of times and everything's going to be fine.
02:18:34.020 And you know what?
02:18:34.940 You get to the end of, you know, when you hear American, early American policy, it was to be enemy to none, friend to all.
02:18:43.200 Well, that's little rocket man.
02:18:44.820 I love him.
02:18:45.640 I love him.
02:18:46.120 I mean, we got a lot that we don't have in common, but I don't have a problem with him.
02:18:49.620 He obviously has a problem with Kim Jong-un.
02:18:53.640 The man is murdering a bunch of his people.
02:18:55.940 He's starving.
02:18:56.660 Like, this is not, North Korea is not the way that Donald Trump would picture a nation.
02:19:03.360 Look at the picture between South Korea and North Korea.
02:19:05.380 All the lights are out.
02:19:06.440 This is not the world that Donald Trump wants.
02:19:08.120 He wants all the glitz and the glamour of every light.
02:19:10.240 But stating the obvious in a negotiation like that, it's not going to get you anywhere.
02:19:13.540 It's going to get you the stagnation that you had before.
02:19:15.980 And then the little thing, like you mentioned, you know, being mean to our allies, which, again, irritates me when I hear people talk like that.
02:19:23.760 Because what else are you supposed to do when you've had this marriage that you're not never supposed to negotiate?
02:19:29.000 You constantly get taken advantage of in the global stage.
02:19:32.420 So him being mean, when I see it, is him looking at a group of countries that are still operating on a system that was built post-World War II.
02:19:41.000 Where he's saying like, okay, I know I'm supposed to be absolutely nice here, but why do you have like 50% more tariffs on like automobiles and we're getting screwed when we try to, how is that fair when it's built up a system to help you on reconstruction after World War II?
02:19:57.020 This is the first administration that is now post-World War II.
02:20:06.300 Whatever systems we set up after World War II, and we made all these deals, and we're all going to behave a certain way.
02:20:14.060 He's like, yeah, none of that works anymore.
02:20:15.640 So we're not doing that.
02:20:16.720 50 years later.
02:20:17.800 Yeah.
02:20:18.000 That's insane.
02:20:18.840 Yeah.
02:20:19.300 Well, I mean, and look, those 50 years have been pretty good for the United States.
02:20:22.600 So you don't necessarily want to blow that up for no reason.
02:20:24.960 But like, if it's not working, and I think like he sees a calcification in all of this that he wants to break up.
02:20:30.260 Yeah.
02:20:30.600 And like, and by the way, he should be judged on the results of this.
02:20:34.500 Yes.
02:20:34.720 This doesn't mean he's a magician.
02:20:36.180 He might screw this up.
02:20:37.420 It might go poorly.
02:20:38.600 If it does, we should judge him that way.
02:20:40.620 Yeah.
02:20:41.060 But like to get all fired up about every freaking, you know, truth he puts out there.
02:20:46.360 It's just silly.
02:20:48.020 And it's like these really sophisticated people in the media.
02:20:51.660 It's like, come on, you guys know this.
02:20:53.700 You guys were all there.
02:20:54.460 You were watching this.
02:20:55.400 You watched it happen last time.
02:20:56.960 You watched it with North Korea.
02:20:58.340 You watched it in Israel.
02:20:59.380 You watched it all over the world.
02:21:00.860 This is how he handles it.
02:21:02.460 We know you don't like it.
02:21:04.040 But the American people said they did.
02:21:05.960 Yeah.
02:21:06.480 And so they were on board.
02:21:07.980 You're going to have to understand that this is the world we live in.
02:21:10.120 And it amazes me that people don't see that he is just moving the Overton window.
02:21:19.500 That's all he's doing.
02:21:20.340 Yeah.
02:21:20.700 That's just moving the Overton window.
02:21:23.340 And we're seemingly doing well for that.
02:21:27.320 I had to go take my show.
02:21:28.060 Wait, wait, wait.
02:21:28.620 Before that, you got to tell me the Congo story.
02:21:31.660 Have you heard this?
02:21:32.620 This will be on tomorrow's show.
02:21:34.280 Listen to this.
02:21:35.200 Again, another thing that should probably make the main show.
02:21:37.100 So three kids in the Congo, a little hungry.
02:21:42.800 You know, that happens in the Congo, as you might know.
02:21:45.640 They are looking for some food.
02:21:47.220 They find some food in the form of a, say it with me, dead bat carcass.
02:21:53.480 Oh, no.
02:21:54.780 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:21:56.120 Now, here's the upside.
02:21:57.540 Here's the upside.
02:21:58.140 When he first told me this story, I thought, one of the kids is going to eat the other kid.
02:22:02.020 Yeah.
02:22:02.280 And so.
02:22:02.860 No, it wasn't cannibalism.
02:22:03.520 Happy news.
02:22:04.100 It wasn't cannibalism.
02:22:04.660 It was a bad carcass.
02:22:05.500 It was just, they were like, hey, that looks like a bat.
02:22:07.780 Looks good.
02:22:08.420 Let's eat it.
02:22:09.180 Now, fast forward.
02:22:10.160 Bat soup.
02:22:11.040 Sounds like it's familiar to me.
02:22:12.340 Yeah, it sounds familiar.
02:22:12.920 They just probably just ate it wings and all.
02:22:14.860 Now, it could have been like, look, maybe the meat was rancid, right?
02:22:18.300 Bad things happen when you eat bad meat.
02:22:20.480 And I will say, about three days after they ate this bat carcass, all three kids were dead.
02:22:27.400 So that's bad.
02:22:28.320 That's bad.
02:22:28.840 Now, that's bad.
02:22:29.640 But again, could be rancid meat.
02:22:31.440 They ate the meat.
02:22:32.220 They ate the bat.
02:22:33.560 So that's bad.
02:22:34.500 Fast forward a few days later, now 50 additional people are dead.
02:22:40.080 Oh, no.
02:22:40.640 There's now 413 cases of this, 431 cases of this illness.
02:22:48.400 But they're testing negative for Ebola.
02:22:50.960 And Marburg.
02:22:51.820 Yeah, so it's not that.
02:22:52.920 It's neither one of those.
02:22:54.360 Symptoms are fever, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches, headaches, fatigue.
02:22:59.400 And then I think you melt.
02:23:00.400 The significant portions of the deaths taking place within 48 hours of the onset of the system.
02:23:05.460 So there's some more good news.
02:23:06.980 You get this and you're like, I don't really feel dead.
02:23:09.740 Right.
02:23:09.920 And remember, we used to talk about with COVID, we'd have that fatality rate.
02:23:13.620 I'm like, what is it?
02:23:14.200 Is it 0.4%?
02:23:15.620 Is it 0.5%?
02:23:16.780 What is it?
02:23:17.420 This one's so far 12.3%.
02:23:19.460 Wow.
02:23:21.420 So, but the good news is, I don't think we've cordoned that part of Congo off yet.
02:23:27.340 Right.
02:23:27.940 So, I don't know about you, but I'd have flamethrowers making just a giant ring of fire around that whole area.
02:23:36.940 That virus specifically is what has always freaked me.
02:23:39.800 Ever since outbreak with Dustin Hoffman.
02:23:41.620 Oh, I know.
02:23:41.860 I was like, when that goes out, okay, yeah, I'm moving to the mountains.
02:23:45.480 I'm never coming back.
02:23:46.600 How dangerous would this be right now after what we just went through?
02:23:49.440 Because so many people now would completely blow off the U.S. government if they told them there was a 12.3% fatality rate on some virus that's coming.
02:23:59.000 They're so sick of it.
02:24:00.160 They heard all this.
02:24:00.960 You lied to us last time.
02:24:02.100 We're not listening to a word you said.
02:24:03.080 Yeah, but 12 out of every 100 people kind of grabs your attention.
02:24:05.100 It would make an impact quickly.
02:24:06.760 There would be a lot of people who would still not want to hear it.
02:24:12.280 Were any of these kids related at all to Fauci?
02:24:14.560 He was doing gain-of-function research in the area?
02:24:18.440 Right.
02:24:18.780 I don't know.
02:24:19.320 He was just down there.
02:24:20.180 That was just a vacation.
02:24:21.240 He was just down there.
02:24:21.900 He was just doing that for fun.
02:24:23.080 All right.
02:24:23.300 Thank you, Pat.
02:24:23.740 Thanks.
02:24:24.120 All right.
02:24:24.340 Thank you, Stu.
02:24:24.940 I appreciate it.
02:24:25.420 All right.
02:24:25.820 Let me get Michaela in here because before we get to Colony Ridge, some big news on that.
02:24:33.060 Michaela, tell us a story quickly of the Mass family and what's happening today.
02:24:39.400 Okay.
02:24:39.760 An update of Little Baby Sparrow.
02:24:41.460 Little Baby Sparrow update.
02:24:42.540 In a nutshell, if you haven't heard the full story of Baby Sparrow, you can go to glenbeck.com
02:24:47.820 slash save baby sparrow.
02:24:49.100 But in a nutshell, our State Department attempted to sweep the life of a little girl under the
02:24:54.880 rug to cover up for their botched attempt at peace in Afghanistan.
02:24:59.520 Yeah.
02:24:59.920 A lot of surprise.
02:25:00.960 Yes.
02:25:01.440 So she was recovered by our soldiers during a mission in Afghanistan when her parents,
02:25:07.020 biological parents, who were likely foreign fighters, were killed.
02:25:10.000 Then two Americans-
02:25:11.260 No, no, just killed.
02:25:12.920 Yes.
02:25:13.680 Killed in a firefight.
02:25:14.660 And then mom, while holding Little Baby Sparrow-
02:25:16.980 Potentially holding or nearby.
02:25:18.200 Or nearby.
02:25:18.900 Blew herself up.
02:25:19.860 Yes.
02:25:20.240 So, I mean, you know, it wasn't like, oh my gosh.
02:25:24.160 And they were killed.
02:25:24.860 No.
02:25:25.500 It was a fight to the death against our soldiers.
02:25:28.780 Right.
02:25:29.360 And then our soldiers decided to save the baby of their enemies.
02:25:33.120 And then two American parents decided to step up and adopt her to ensure her survival.
02:25:37.940 Because after the explosion of the IED, she had a lot of medical needs.
02:25:42.180 I mean, she was six weeks old at this point.
02:25:44.100 And the Afghanis that were on our side against the Taliban wanted her dead.
02:25:48.220 They did.
02:25:48.620 They tried to kill her.
02:25:49.320 The Taliban wants her to be a symbol to be a fighter so they can blow her up later or have her blow herself up later.
02:25:58.560 And she has absolutely no future with the Taliban.
02:26:01.560 I mean, it's either blow yourself up or, you know, just be covered as a woman with no options as you grow up.
02:26:09.400 So, our State Department was just evil on this.
02:26:13.800 And they're having their court case reheard today.
02:26:17.060 Yes.
02:26:17.720 So, there's a battle for her custody.
02:26:20.020 It's important to understand why.
02:26:21.220 It's because her mere existence would show that the peace agreement that we made with Afghanistan,
02:26:28.200 which stipulated there were no foreign fighters in Afghanistan, well, she's the daughter of a foreign fighter.
02:26:33.220 Thus, the State Department finds her existence inconvenient.
02:26:36.080 Right.
02:26:36.280 She has to be Afghani.
02:26:37.640 So, she has to go back to Afghanistan.
02:26:39.640 And so, today, in Virginia, where her American parents adopted her, she is facing a case where, if it goes the wrong way,
02:26:48.220 she is potentially ripped from her American family, who loves her, who have been with her for multiple years,
02:26:54.500 raising her, helping to recuperate from all the trauma she's experienced.
02:26:58.280 She's ripped from them.
02:26:59.420 She's sent to Afghanistan with two likely non-relative, unvetted, potentially Taliban-linked claimants back to a place where she has, where her family is here.
02:27:13.060 So, that's on the line today, right now, in the Supreme Court of Virginia.
02:27:17.080 Okay.
02:27:20.060 We need your prayers.
02:27:21.880 And, specifically, we need the State Department, the DOJ, and the Pentagon to step up and do the right thing and correct the things that the Biden administration did.
02:27:35.000 And, go ahead.
02:27:36.000 If you'd like a little bit of good news on this front about the power of what our audience is doing, I've been listening.
02:27:41.320 I think some good news is in order for all of us, perhaps.
02:27:43.760 So, some good news is that I believe our audience is not going to let Baby Sparrow be sent back to Afghanistan.
02:27:50.340 And, here's just a little glimmer of hope.
02:27:51.900 There's a lot of good news that is coming that we can't talk about yet.
02:27:57.420 But, I can tell you a little bit.
02:27:59.800 There is a woman who's a long-standing bureaucrat in D.C.
02:28:03.700 She was instrumental.
02:28:05.400 Donna Wilton was instrumental in placing Baby Sparrow with these unvetted claimants in Afghanistan.
02:28:11.400 Interesting timing.
02:28:12.720 She has.
02:28:13.920 Decided to, let me say it correctly, conclude her tenure in advance of imminent retirement in the last few days.
02:28:21.420 Oh, my gosh.
02:28:22.180 So, I believe this timing has something to do with the fact that our audience has been sharing this story.
02:28:26.840 People like Sean Ryan have gone out and shared this story, naming her by name.
02:28:29.960 And, we can't say for sure, but I have a hunch that the power of everyone sharing her story and getting involved is already putting pressure in the right places.
02:28:39.520 And, the right people are starting to bow out.
02:28:41.800 And, hopefully, that will mean this is just the beginning of miracles for Baby Sparrow.
02:28:46.440 Thank you so much.
02:28:47.680 Appreciate it.
02:28:48.320 Thank you.
02:28:48.440 You've done great work on this.
02:28:49.520 Thank you.
02:28:50.020 You should watch the podcast, or you can get all the information at glenbeck.com.
02:28:53.580 All right.
02:28:54.740 Let me do one more thing here, and that is Colony Ridge.
02:28:58.460 We did, you and I both went to Colony Ridge two years ago, three years ago, seems like another lifetime ago.
02:29:06.900 It's that long.
02:29:07.340 Wow.
02:29:07.440 I know.
02:29:08.200 And, we went to Colony Ridge because this is a place in Texas that is, it's all illegals, or that's what it feels like.
02:29:20.420 Now, Colony Ridge would deny that, but they don't require any proof of ID or anything else.
02:29:27.220 And, Colony Ridge has done all of the financing for these people.
02:29:31.780 That way, they don't have to go to a bank with any kind of ID.
02:29:34.800 And, it's…
02:29:35.340 Well, some, like, EIN number, you know, something like that, or a passport.
02:29:39.860 Yeah, yeah.
02:29:40.180 But, nothing that would show, like, U.S. citizenship.
02:29:42.820 Yes.
02:29:43.760 And, they've been advertising in foreign countries, saying, own a piece of America.
02:29:48.320 And, it is enormous.
02:29:50.460 It is gigantic.
02:29:52.700 We've been talking about this for a while.
02:29:54.480 Well, we've been talking to the state of Texas about this for a while.
02:29:58.340 And, yesterday, it became something on everybody's radar and active.
02:30:03.920 What happened yesterday?
02:30:05.200 So, the governor of Texas said that the operation was starting that day, yesterday, to go in and start clearing out Colony Ridge of illegals.
02:30:13.520 And, as of this morning, we're actually getting video footage of that operation.
02:30:18.380 Tom Homan said that the border czar said that they got – they arrested 90 criminal illegals.
02:30:24.800 It sounds like – so, let's put that in context.
02:30:28.080 90 people.
02:30:29.000 There's about, what, like, 120,000 people that live in that area.
02:30:32.740 Yeah.
02:30:32.840 But, I'm sure he's – it sounds the way, just from hearing him talk, it sounds like they're starting this rollout or this phase, similar to how they're doing it in the entire country.
02:30:42.080 They're focusing on the violent criminals first.
02:30:44.560 Yeah.
02:30:45.180 Then, they're moving on.
02:30:45.900 Because the good guys – the good guys, generally, the ones that are here that are not violent criminals are going to be like, I don't want the hassle.
02:30:53.900 I'm moving.
02:30:54.640 Yeah.
02:30:54.900 I'm just going back home.
02:30:55.780 And, they'll self-deport.
02:30:56.600 And, then, those who don't, they'll just go and get and deport them.
02:31:00.840 It's hard to describe.
02:31:01.900 And, we saw it when we were there.
02:31:03.640 Like, you literally feel like you're stepping into a third-world country.
02:31:07.520 A big time.
02:31:08.240 Remember, there was that area right in the beginning where it's got, like, the more affluent people, like, the nicer houses.
02:31:13.580 But, you drive, what, one to two blocks in?
02:31:15.960 Oh, and it's, like, scruffy dogs in the middle of the street.
02:31:18.860 And, it's, like, every third-world country you've ever seen.
02:31:21.480 No zoning laws, it seems like.
02:31:23.740 So, they operate businesses inside their homes.
02:31:26.660 Well, Houston doesn't have zoning laws.
02:31:28.440 It's the only city in the country that it says, no zoning.
02:31:33.460 You can build whatever you want.
02:31:34.560 And, it generally works.
02:31:36.140 It generally works.
02:31:37.580 It's the oddest.
02:31:38.760 It feels weird to see that because it's, like, if you walk in.
02:31:42.280 Well, it doesn't work in that area because it's just all upside down anyway.
02:31:49.400 And, it looks like if you've ever walked around Tijuana, Mexico, or some of the Warriors, that's what it feels like.
02:31:54.000 It's exactly like that.
02:31:55.140 Yeah, we, look, we, so, I talked to, I can't remember how many people, dozens of people, asking them, are you a citizen, how'd you get here?
02:32:04.900 I have a clip from the real story of Colony Ridge that Jason and I both did.
02:32:09.260 Here's a woman that he talked to.
02:32:11.400 It's cut nine.
02:32:15.360 Person after person was willing to talk to us, including this woman running a taqueria in her yard.
02:32:20.560 Do you live here in Colony Ridge?
02:32:23.080 Yes.
02:32:23.700 When did you come here?
02:32:26.340 Hace six years.
02:32:28.480 And you came from where?
02:32:29.480 Houston.
02:32:30.300 And before that?
02:32:31.500 Before that?
02:32:32.080 Mexico.
02:32:32.400 Did you become a citizen when you came over here or still haven't done that yet?
02:32:35.860 No.
02:32:37.320 That was just one conversation.
02:32:38.880 So, here's what I thought of yesterday as I'm seeing this thing start to happen.
02:32:45.480 You know how big that is.
02:32:46.920 I mean, that is 120,000 people.
02:32:49.920 Had to fly with a helicopter.
02:32:51.100 Yeah.
02:32:51.360 And it just never ends.
02:32:52.960 It just never ends.
02:32:53.840 And the two brothers that own it, they're the ones doing all the financing.
02:33:03.320 What is going to happen to them when this whole, because, you know, citizens are not going to move into that place.
02:33:12.380 Because it's just not, it's substandard in everything.
02:33:16.800 It'll either be Poverty Town, USA for citizens, but they'll just lose their shirt.
02:33:22.840 I mean, they are done.
02:33:24.660 For as high as they were and living, you know, like, hey, well, you know, business is business.
02:33:29.800 They're screwed.
02:33:31.560 Yeah.
02:33:31.780 I didn't, I remember doing that.
02:33:33.120 I never, didn't really know what to think about the two brothers, especially the one that we spoke to.
02:33:37.420 Because when we first talked to him, he sounded like, oh, he's all just about helping out, you know, immigrants.
02:33:42.760 You know, it's for them.
02:33:43.800 But then we would talk to other people that say, yeah, but these lending things, like, I kind of feel like we were backed into a corner and, you know, held at gunpoint, basically.
02:33:51.140 It was, it was almost predatory.
02:33:53.520 It felt like predatory lending.
02:33:55.620 And then if you lost the house, they just took it back and then they could sell it again.
02:34:01.320 One of my favorite parts, you're asking him about all these, like, crimes that happen, you know, through all this research.
02:34:06.420 And he's like, no, that wasn't even here.
02:34:07.600 That was like another zip code, you know, all this stuff.
02:34:09.420 No, no, it's like the crime is, like, percentage-wise the same as any other community.
02:34:13.220 We walked out and we're like, well, crap, you know, is that true?
02:34:16.120 We go immediately and talk to the, what was it?
02:34:18.340 Sheriff.
02:34:18.620 Sheriff.
02:34:19.140 Yeah.
02:34:19.320 And he's like, oh, yeah, all that stuff you talk about is true.
02:34:21.760 Happened right there in Colony Ridge.
02:34:23.520 Yeah.
02:34:23.600 Crime-wise.
02:34:23.620 Yeah, that's where we, here's where we found the dead bodies.
02:34:26.320 Yeah, we're like, wait a minute.
02:34:28.440 It was insane.
02:34:29.720 Wow.
02:34:30.040 But I guess the biggest point on, you know, that one clip that you just played and thinking about the 120,000 people that are there, I only spoke to one person that said, yeah, I'm a citizen.
02:34:41.800 And it was obvious that this person was a citizen.
02:34:43.900 Everybody else said they were not a citizen.
02:34:46.100 So think about the, just average that out out of 120,000 people, how much work does Homan and ICE have to do now?
02:34:54.360 And what is that going to take in that area?
02:34:57.480 Yeah, it's the cleaning up of just the mess that this last administration left us is phenomenal.
02:35:08.220 I mean, with what we found out yesterday about what's happening with the CIA and everything else with the.
02:35:14.740 Oh, my gosh.
02:35:15.380 Oh, my gosh.
02:35:16.100 That is just, if you didn't hear that, listen to the podcast.
02:35:19.020 You'll find it wherever you get your podcast, but it's right at the beginning.
02:35:21.540 And it is just, it's disgusting.
02:35:24.560 You'll never want to pay taxes again.
02:35:26.340 You just, you never will.
02:35:27.480 Thank you for coming in.
02:35:30.280 Let me just leave with two, two things here, because two people cried over their show yesterday.
02:35:36.260 First, let me go give you Joy Reid crying over the last show she's doing.
02:35:42.760 But also that my show had value and that, I'm sorry, that what I was doing had value, had value.
02:35:59.560 The moment of guilt that I felt that I went hard on so many issues, whether it was the Black Lives Matter issues or went hard for immigrants who've done nothing but come to this country like my parents did, or whether we've talked about what the president is doing that is subversive to the Constitution.
02:36:19.160 And yes, whether it's talking about Gaza and the fact that we, as the American people, have a right to object to little babies being bombed.
02:36:30.220 And where I come down on that is I'm not sorry.
02:36:34.020 I am not sorry that I stood up for those things, because those things are of God.
02:36:41.340 I'm having a hard time because I don't like little babies being bombed, but I also don't like them being raped and then their heads chopped off and then set on fire.
02:36:53.220 I think that's also probably something that has value.
02:36:57.960 And then one more person cried yesterday at the end of his podcast, an end of his radio show, our good friend Dan Bongino.
02:37:11.320 Here's what he said.
02:37:12.520 Kind of broke down a bit because it was this is now real.
02:37:17.600 So President Attorney General Bondi and now Director, gosh, that sounds good to say, FBI Director Akash Patel offered this role, a role I expressed an interest in.
02:37:37.000 And ladies and gentlemen, I told you, you see, it's hard for me.
02:37:47.600 I am I'm going to accept the role proudly as a deputy director of the number two spot at the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
02:38:03.960 Folks, it's a lot to walk away from.
02:38:07.500 He's a good guy.
02:38:08.620 Can I say, though?
02:38:09.460 Yeah, I don't I don't want him on the sidelines.
02:38:12.300 Did you see him?
02:38:13.040 He's jacked with it, with his personality, with his belief system, with everything.
02:38:16.920 I want him on the front lines kicking doors down.
02:38:19.040 That's what I want.
02:38:19.760 Or maybe that for the first time ever, the deputy director can be a door kicker.
02:38:23.000 I'd like to see that.
02:38:24.080 Let's get that done.
02:38:24.780 I think they're all door kickers at this point.
02:38:27.400 Yeah, that's true.
02:38:28.100 I think all of them are door kickers.
02:38:29.660 In house, though.
02:38:30.340 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:38:30.940 Yes.
02:38:31.140 By the way, just so I can announce, the White House has offered me the position of, I don't
02:38:40.220 know if you've ever seen Pagliacci, but the fat clown.
02:38:44.360 And I'm still considering that.
02:38:46.400 Still considering.
02:38:47.260 Are you a door kicker in this position?
02:38:49.020 A door kicker?
02:38:49.800 No, just a fat, sad clown.
02:38:51.720 Oh.
02:38:52.180 So.
02:38:52.620 Okay.
02:38:52.920 Yeah.
02:38:53.300 With a nice voice, though.
02:38:54.260 What an honor.
02:38:55.020 Nice noise.
02:38:55.580 Yes, yes.
02:38:56.200 Thank you.
02:38:56.620 Imagine that, though.
02:38:57.500 You have a group saying, nah, we're going to keep doing our DEI stuff at the FBI.
02:39:01.440 Cash sends Dan Bongino down the knock on their door.
02:39:04.460 It's not going to be good.
02:39:05.200 It's not going to be good.
02:39:06.000 It's not going to end well.
02:39:07.480 All right.
02:39:08.000 Thank you.
02:39:08.460 We'll see you tomorrow.
