When your dad retired, he told you he had his Medicare plan all figured out. Six months later, he was paying twice what he expected and still getting bills for services that weren t covered. Turns out, he had gotten help from somebody who actually didn t work for Medicare.
00:05:21.280Your colleagues in the Republican Party do not hold each other accountable when it comes to the racism that comes from the party on a consistent basis.
00:05:30.900Congressman, I mean, where are you on?
00:05:39.900The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the N-word directly or indirectly every day.
00:05:53.680If your colleagues would listen and try to learn and engage and grow and stop being so hateful, we could have a better country.
00:06:54.400Nobody holds anybody accountable anymore for anything, especially white people.
00:06:59.660You know, and he says they have higher rates of obesity and heart disease and cancer and diabetes from the stress they carry, African Americans, from having to deal with being called the N-word directly or indirectly every day.
00:07:16.260And I think it's the indirectly that we usually dismiss.
00:08:57.560Sorry, I thought I was having a heart attack there for a second because I was called bad names.
00:09:07.460Sticks and stones may break your bones, my mother told me, but names will never hurt you.
00:09:14.060She doesn't know these names that I have been called directly and indirectly for years.
00:09:20.920Sure, it may not break my bones, but they carve my face up all the time because of the skin cancer caused by people calling me anti-Semitic and strangely Islamophobic, usually at the same time.
00:09:39.620And my face just starts to bubble up like it's just one giant petri dish of cancer.
00:10:02.200You have no idea what people like him go through.
00:10:04.540Let me, may I just say, may I just say, and this is not Christ-like for me to say, so I probably shouldn't say, but I'm going to say, I'm making a decision.
00:11:14.740Not to the extent that your parents have embarrassed you.
00:11:18.260That loss was, I mean, the whole campaign, I could see you could be crippled in bed with the shame that came with, oh, no, it's because you voted for her and then she lost.
00:11:32.560Yeah, I really don't have any sympathy for you.
00:11:34.120You know how many times I've wanted things and it didn't work out?
00:11:36.660And, you know, I really don't use the word triggered because I think that's for and I also really don't use the word traumatized.
00:11:49.020I mean, unless if you were a hostage, okay, you know, I was in a Liam Neeson movie and he made me believe I was actually a hostage.
00:12:00.540And I had to wait an hour and a half before he came in and rescued me.
00:12:46.600Now, I might be traumatizing you again because I'm, of course, a racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, transphobic, and Islamophobic, fat, fat, fatty, riddled with skin cancer.
00:13:02.640I just wanted to start the show just getting that off my chest because it's, you know, it's Friday and we just can't, we can't carry these things around.
00:13:27.300My question is, is that this has been a weird week listening to you because for years you've been warning us about traditionalism.
00:13:34.740And you've used Bannon as an example, as a perfect example.
00:13:38.320And I remember watching one of your one-on-one podcasts with a guy who wrote books about traditionalism and how it could infiltrate American churches and Bannon.
00:13:47.480And then you, so you warned us about this kind of level of deception and use Bannon as an example.
00:13:54.240And then you had him on his, the show this week.
00:13:56.860And this is the first time listening to you where I really felt that it's bordered on wasting our time or not really being completely honest with the audience or doing it about faith.
00:14:10.240So I want to know what changed and why for you, John, this is the best question I have had in a very long time.
00:14:20.100And it is my fault that you feel confused because I think I mentioned it the next day and I should have started with this.
00:14:29.360Steve Bannon and I disagree on an awful lot of things.
00:14:33.740And you, as a smart listener and one who has been loyal for a long time, have heard me warn about Steve Bannon.
00:14:39.960And I have a lot of things to talk about with Steve Bannon.
00:14:45.580And, you know, his friend in Russia is one of those things.
00:14:50.780However, and this is what I should have started the conversation with, exactly what I just said to you.
00:14:57.600And then this, however, we are now eating each other alive.
00:15:03.440Do you notice the time that I had him on?
00:15:06.080It was during the week when we have Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz tearing each other apart.
00:15:14.720When we have our conservatives killing each other.
00:15:20.240And while I do believe that Steve plays a role in traditionalism, et cetera, et cetera, and that is extraordinarily dangerous.
00:15:29.040I also, and my fault, my problem was not pointing that out to you when I had him on and saying, I still believe those things.
00:15:39.120However, what I think is important today is to demonstrate that two people who strongly disagree with each other on certain things,
00:15:48.900both understand we cannot continue to separate ourselves.
00:15:56.080I believe that this is, this is not, this is not done just by people who disagree with themselves.
00:16:10.780I don't agree with either one of those at times.
00:16:14.260And I like both of those guys at times.
00:16:15.940And I have pretty strong opinions on both of them that might surprise you.
00:16:21.360Um, however, when I saw that, when I saw Elon Musk and Donald Trump take each other on, I thought to myself, that's the end of the Republic.
00:16:33.640When I see Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz take each other on like that, that's the end of the Republic.
00:16:40.040Because if we continue to divide ourselves to a place to where we can't have a conversation, it's you're all of this or you're all of that, then we are doomed.
00:16:54.300And so what I should have said, and I don't know if it would have made it better for you, but what I should have said was, here is a guy I have real disagreements on and I have talked about for a very long time.
00:17:07.000Um, and I'm having him on this week because we must begin to have conversations and, uh, off the air, Steve and I have had very difficult conversations.
00:17:19.800I met with him, Jason, were you with me when I met with him the first time?
00:17:28.460And, uh, I met with him and had a uncomfortable private conversation, the two of us.
00:17:35.220Um, and it was at that time that both of us said, this is what we do believe is coming.
00:17:46.440We do agree on this, that really, really tough times are coming and we have got to not eat each other alive.
00:17:56.280That doesn't mean we can't point out the differences and the strong differences, but if we can't make allies on our own, um, on our own side while pointing out the truth, we're in trouble.
00:18:12.260And so I'm sorry for the confusion on that.
00:18:14.600I'm glad you brought this up because it bothered me, uh, because I got off the air yesterday and somebody wrote to me and said, Glenn, I don't understand.
00:18:21.160And, uh, and I wish I would have done it differently.
00:22:02.840I am extraordinarily concerned that if, I mean, let me put it this way.
00:22:11.300If I were China, if I were Russia, if I were, you know, some, hey, man, I'm just going to go out and buy a new Iranian flag, and I'm just so dumb as a box of rocks.
00:22:22.700I don't even know what it means, but I hate America.
00:23:57.440The Berna launcher, it fills that gap, giving you a non-lethal option that is still powerful enough to stop the threat.
00:24:03.200And it fires high-velocity projectiles loaded with pepper or tear gas and kinetic rounds that, you know, buy you time to escape or de-escalate the situation.
00:27:13.400I saw Sarah gain like 10 pounds and get skin cancer right off that one word.
00:27:18.480It was right off the, right off the, right off the bat.
00:27:22.400Uh, well, you know what, you know, what might help is, uh, you know, maybe we could free the Holy land five.
00:27:28.320Uh, have you heard the, have you heard the, the, the latest, first of all, we've got to play some of these, uh, let me see if I can find them here.
00:27:36.180Uh, some of the latest comments from, um, Donnie, uh, who is, uh, you know, running to be the mayor of New York.
00:27:42.880And I predict will win, will win, uh, because New Yorkers are insane.
00:27:50.580But anyway, um, listen to him about his platform.
00:28:16.720I think ultimately this is a campaign about inequality and you don't have to live in the most expensive city in the country to have experienced that inequality because it's a national issue.
00:28:27.340And what Americans coast to coast are looking for are people who will fight for them, not just believe in the things that resonate with their lives, but actually fight and deliver on those very things.
00:28:37.100And part of how we got to this point was through the endorsements of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders, who've been leading this fight against oligarchy across the country.
00:28:47.420And I think that in focusing on working people and their struggles, we also return back to what makes so many of us proud to be Democrats in the first place.
00:44:37.860Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side, stand your ground when times get dark, gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
00:44:48.760the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenn beck program
00:44:58.580oh we've got some uh supreme court decisions coming today uh trump versus casa that's the
00:45:07.360birthright citizenship and the injunctions if this one goes with trump it's going to limit
00:45:13.520the court's ability to issue sweeping injunctions you know nationwide uh if it goes against trump
00:45:21.440uh that means that they're going to be able to block those things and as i always say
00:45:26.180my casa su casa which i think means where is the library but we're going to get into a lot of these
00:45:31.980supreme court decisions and we're going to take your phone call 888-727-BECK first let me tell you
00:45:37.040about blinds.com if you want to know uh if you if you want to know the true state of someone's life
00:45:44.520you just look at their window treatments right are they does it look like maybe somebody you know
00:45:52.320bonnie and clyde came in and were shooting through the blinds uh is there a single you know sun fried
00:45:58.400mini blind hanging at a 32 degree angle missing three slats held together with tape and hope
00:46:03.420you know that's you know you know i can't be friends with you because your life is out of
00:46:07.780control or bonnie and clyde have been to your house um here's what you need to do with if you
00:46:12.780have if you if you look you have window treatments i know because i don't have window treatments uh i
00:46:19.200haven't gotten a couple rooms of the house uh and uh they bake the brooms bake and you have to turn
00:46:26.680on the air conditioning and it's not good it's really not good blinds don't have to be expensive
00:46:31.100or overwhelming we put them in our house with blinds.com they take all the guesswork out of
00:46:36.060the equation i will tell you that they have um saved us a ton of money because i've been online
00:46:41.660and i'm like you know i'm talking to their experts and i'm like i need these blinds and i think these
00:46:46.100would be better and they're like no actually i think you'd be better off with these and you'll
00:46:50.380save a lot of money and i'm like yeah you don't know what you're talking about you know we'll send
00:46:54.280you the the two samples and then i gotta call them back and go okay i was not as right as i
00:47:00.540usually am i get that blinds.com right now go and save up to 50 off with minimum purchase they really
00:47:07.200take care of you get 50 off for a limited time at blinds.com rules and restrictions may apply it's
00:47:13.000blinds.com all right do we have anything from the supreme court yet do you know jason anything coming
00:47:19.480out yeah so the supreme court just now allowed trump's executive order restricting birthright
00:47:24.280citizenship to go into effect in some areas of the country um what does that mean so this is the this
00:47:31.640is the casa trump versus casa uh is that the birthright citizenship one the casa one yeah yeah yeah
00:47:38.320yeah yeah so yeah so this seems like more like a more like a hit on you know universal injunctions
00:47:44.920which is interesting it's fantastic this one is probably the highest impact uh of all of the
00:47:52.460decisions that are waiting for today um this will limit if they did side with trump it will limit the
00:47:59.480federal court's ability to issue all kinds of injunctions um it signals an openness to restricting
00:48:07.560birthright citizenship which would reshape immigration law this one is really really big
00:48:13.460um and this has structural implications for both immigration and separation of powers which we
00:48:20.280need the separation of powers to be reconstituted it's kind of a good idea let me go up um take your
00:48:27.680phone call 888-727-BECK i want to go to bob in oklahoma hello bob hey glenn hey how are you
00:48:36.620i'm good hey i've been listening to stew and his oversized co-host since since tipper 12
00:48:42.000many many years ago i took a couple of years off oh about a year off after obama won because i was
00:48:48.720so disillusioned with politics but you know now we've got this guy that comes along that tells us
00:48:54.420he's going to fix the elections he's going to fix all the kickbacks and i really fear that trump is so
00:49:00.660distracted by everything that's going on by being president that if we don't see some arrests by the
00:49:05.780midterms the trump administration is going to be nothing but a speed bump on the progressives road to
00:49:10.600destroying our country bob i hope you are wrong but i fear you have real truth in your statement
00:49:21.000um i don't think donald trump is being is distracted i think there is literally so much going on
00:49:28.520um and he is unfortunately um having i think to spend a lot of his time on what is happening on
00:49:41.100a global level and trusting that the senate and everybody else is going to do their job and get
00:49:47.700the economy on track and his he he should concentrate on the big beautiful bill um i know a lot of people
00:49:56.220don't like it there's stuff in it i don't like however if we don't get the tax cuts done if that
00:50:03.020doesn't happen if we don't get some of the the things that are in the bill he will not be able to
00:50:09.900turn the economy around and that's all he should be saying right now i want the big beautiful bill
00:50:15.360i want it i want it i want it pass it now uh even if it's just for the tax cuts there's you know this
00:50:23.200is not an appropriations bill so there are other things that can happen but if they if this bill
00:50:28.840isn't passed if he doesn't get the tax cuts i fear you are exactly right uh bob and it will not be good
00:50:37.180for america he's got to get that bill passed he's got to get these tax cuts and he's got to get the
00:50:42.860economy on the uh on the road uh to health there are too many people that are are struggling and too
00:50:49.900many people that uh believed in him and i'm one of them i still believe in him i hope you do too
00:50:55.980um however we're not seeing the arrests that we should have we're not seeing you know the deep state
00:51:05.860being routed out we're not seeing doge uh being passed in uh congress and in the senate um we are
00:51:13.680seeing i think miraculous things happening on a global stage but the american people are not going to
00:51:19.540care about the global stage if they if they can't afford their groceries and their their um paychecks
00:51:26.320are not getting bigger um and he really has to pay attention to that i think he is i think others are
00:51:34.120not doing their job perhaps but we'll see thank you for your phone call let me go to sue in wisconsin
00:51:39.320hello sue well what i have to say uh goes hand in hand with what you've been talking about this
00:51:45.560morning and the gentleman that's in uh the muslim gentleman that's in new york that's running
00:51:50.240for mayor there is a concept in um islamic doctrine called a takiyah a takiyah allows someone of the
00:51:59.580islamic faith to practice uh concealing one's beliefs and very simply um they are allowed to lie to the
00:52:08.080infidels and i'm wondering why no one in uh none of the announcers no one that i'm listening to
00:52:15.720anyone that i'm listening to uh they're not expanding upon this this concept so you know living in the
00:52:23.580middle east as i did a number of years ago um the islamic individuals the islamic uh people of faith
00:52:31.520are were allowed to lie to us in regards to making contracts um they don't have to keep the
00:52:39.260contracts because we are not of that faith so that's my statement this morning so what how does
00:52:45.880that relate to uh mamdani well mamdani is is of the islamic faith i don't know if he's gi or
00:52:53.180or sunni but according to his faith he can practice concealing his true beliefs because we are infidels
00:53:01.520he can lie to us be you know he can promise all these things but because we are not of the islamic
00:53:08.280faith he doesn't have to follow through with any of it uh okay thank you for your call um really
00:53:16.320appreciate it um you know there we are at least this program is jason i think you would agree with me
00:53:23.560we're on high alert uh when it comes to mamdani and everything that is happening in the islamic world
00:53:30.720right now it is a real real problem um um and i think we're going to pay a very very high price
00:53:37.760so do you do you see do you see i mean her point is valid but do you can you figure out why it is
00:53:46.000um so important with him jason yeah well especially with him calling out you know
00:53:52.720showing a reverence towards the holy land five and that case going directly towards a muslim
00:53:58.300brotherhood project and i'll use that word project uh very very specifically because
00:54:05.680on your program years ago you were one of the first ones to actually call attention to
00:54:11.140the project and that was the muslim brotherhood initiative to use what sue was talking about
00:54:17.620and use the the government of the governments of multiple countries all over the world to infiltrate
00:54:25.360to get people within the halls of of you know their lawmaking abilities and use and turn the
00:54:32.320system against those countries and ultimately their constitutions that's why the muslim brotherhood was
00:54:37.280created in in egypt that's why the egyptians have been at war with the muslim brotherhood since its
00:54:43.380inception uh it spread uh all the gulf kingdoms they have uh classified the muslim brotherhood as a
00:54:50.220terror organization because they know exactly what they're trying to do um one of those organizations
00:54:56.140that the muslim brotherhood uh in that famous philly meeting in that case uh the u.s versus the
00:55:01.880holy land foundation one of those organizations uh that got its start right after that was from a guy
00:55:08.520named nihad awad nihad awad uh was at this meeting and they were talking he was kind of like the slick
00:55:14.980communications director um i'm not sure if that was his title or what but that's basically what he was
00:55:19.540acting as and they were talking about and i mean you can i want everyone in the audience to google
00:55:24.960this court case united states of america versus the holy land foundation you can read these transcripts
00:55:31.580for yourself and they're talking about creating uh not only organizations like the palestine committee
00:55:37.300the holy land foundation to funnel money to back towards hamas but also organizations that would seem
00:55:43.180benign that would seem under the radar that wouldn't get press coverage if some of the other ones got
00:55:48.960you know caught or ensnared in some of what they were doing one of those organizations that just kind of
00:55:54.040popped up after the fact was an organization called the council on american islamic relations
00:56:00.220care um this is an accepted organization now it's everywhere nihad awad who was at that meeting
00:56:07.140back then is still the director of care you see him walking the halls of congress you'll see him with
00:56:15.100people like elon omar uh linda sarsour you know back when she was popular um you'll still see him
00:56:20.920they're they're making uh campaign contributions for this new york city mayor uh candidate so this is
00:56:29.020still going on they're still trying to get candidates that look legitimate within powers of government
00:56:35.440and this goes all the way back to that case i know i i i think the united states government i think the
00:56:42.560president should name uh care a uh an enemy of state um because it's it's a very very dangerous
00:56:50.140organization for everything that you just pointed out um and i think this is also why um the islamists
00:56:57.000and communists and radicals get along so well because what is the difference between takia and
00:57:04.160uh and saul linsky ends justify the means nothing i mean saul linsky says the same thing you can lie
00:57:14.620you can cheat you can steal you can do whatever you want you just have to beat these guys um and so
00:57:20.580ends justify the means you don't want to kill a million people you can kill a million people is it
00:57:24.620gonna is it gonna help with global warming yeah then it's fine um and you can lie all the way to the
00:57:30.420you know all the way to the gas chambers you can lie to them all the way to the gas chambers
00:57:33.540um it's it's just it's really really evil um and you know i said last hour that
