00:00:30.000 I want to talk to you about my Patriot Supply.

00:00:32.100 Sad and ugly truth is that no one, not even President Trump, who's doing an unbelievable job, can protect all of us from every possible emergency situation.

00:00:42.320 We're living in a really dangerous world, and anything could happen.

00:00:45.900 Very, very fragile.

00:00:47.120 And when a crisis hits, food is almost always the first casualty.

00:00:51.340 Everybody needs it, and as soon as things get scary, panic buying sets in.

00:00:55.760 Always be prepared for the worst while hoping for the best.

00:00:58.920 Storing emergency food in your home is the right thing to do, and we still live in crazy times.

00:01:03.940 And your family could need it.

00:01:05.520 Right now, my Patriot Supply is offering a $50 off their four-week emergency food kit special.

00:01:28.560 All right.

00:01:29.400 Good show for you.

00:01:30.380 Coming up in just a second.

00:01:31.820 Stand by.

00:01:32.180 Let's go.

00:01:32.840 Tornos Garden.

00:01:35.900 Kiitos collection.

00:01:40.480 See you next time.

00:01:45.280 Thank you.

00:01:51.320 See you next time.

00:01:52.000 Bye-bye.

00:01:52.780 Bye-bye.

00:01:54.200 Bye-bye.

00:01:59.180 Bye-bye.

00:02:00.200 We'll be right back.

00:02:30.200 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:35.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:41.180 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:43.960 Donald Trump, in 17 days, has done more than most presidents have done in their term.

00:02:50.720 It is breathtaking to watch the speed, and I want to bring you up to speed on a couple of things.

00:02:56.960 One, the waste, the government and media collusion, the fact that your tax dollars are helping support the BBC.

00:03:06.320 Are you out of your mind?

00:03:08.100 We'll talk about that.

00:03:09.740 And we have Liz Wheeler on, who really has, I think, the story of Politico nailed down.

00:03:18.920 Politico getting millions and millions of dollars from the U.S. government.

00:03:23.780 I don't know. I think that, you know, when you're getting $35 million from the government, I think that probably puts you in their pocket just a bit.

00:03:33.720 Is it just me?

00:03:34.680 We'll talk about that coming up in just a second.

00:03:38.220 But I first want to start on the border and what is happening.

00:03:41.060 I talked to Tom Homan last night, and you've got to hear what this guy said coming up in just a sec.

00:03:45.940 First, some people get to protect their wealth by getting, you know, regular sacks of money from, I don't know, USAID or whatever.

00:03:53.660 I guess that's not going to happen anymore for them, so maybe they should look at, you know, a job or different ways to make money that don't include the tax dollars coming from us.

00:04:04.100 For us regular Joes who don't get criminally subsidized by taxpayer dollars, the mission to protect our wealth against the insanity of the market and the insanity of collapsing the dollar because we're spending too much money.

00:04:18.600 The BBC, man.

00:04:20.420 The BB-frickin-C. 1.00

00:04:22.100 It's still incredibly important for us to have a plan in place for anything.

00:04:27.420 And the best way to do that is to invest a portion of your portfolio into precious metals, things like gold and silver.

00:04:34.380 I started doing that a couple of decades ago with Lear Capital, and I have never been sorry I did it.

00:04:39.800 Do your own homework.

00:04:41.040 You want to know why gold could be your best performing asset in 2025?

00:04:44.320 Call Lear Capital today at 800-957-GOLD.

00:04:48.780 800-957-GOLD is the number.

00:04:52.800 Call him.

00:04:54.100 Lear Capital.

00:04:55.800 Well, hello, Pat Gray.

00:04:56.960 How are you?

00:04:57.600 Oh.

00:04:58.500 That good, huh?

00:04:59.500 So good.

00:05:00.260 Yeah.

00:05:00.660 Yeah.

00:05:00.780 So good.

00:05:01.220 So I'm going to go into this, hopefully, if I have time, a little later.

00:05:06.000 But Donald Trump promised 20 things that he had on his list of day one to take care of.

00:05:13.100 20 different items that he had promised during the campaign that he would do.

00:05:18.020 He has done all of them, or at least put the machinery in place and started it.

00:05:24.740 Like, for instance, you know, inflation.

00:05:27.500 That's a campaign promise.

00:05:29.340 He hasn't done that, but he is moving on all of the things that he hopes will reduce inflation.

00:05:36.000 He's done more than any other president has done in 17 days.

00:05:41.000 He's done more than any other president has done in their first term.

00:05:46.040 That is remarkable.

00:05:48.980 And, you know, I was talking to Tom Homan last night.

00:05:52.740 He is our border czar.

00:05:54.860 I love this guy.

00:05:55.900 He is just no nonsense.

00:05:57.760 And I asked him a couple of questions, and one I haven't heard anybody ask, but this is so well thought out and well planned, and every department seems to be working with each other.

00:06:14.280 And I wanted to know, you know, how far out have they planned all of this?

00:06:24.040 Listen to this.

00:06:24.740 Tom Homan.

00:06:25.700 Cut eight.

00:06:26.000 You guys are just killing it right now, and I can't thank you enough for what you guys are doing.

00:06:35.280 Was this something, Tom, when you were appointed, was this something that had been in the planning for a long time?

00:06:45.280 How involved is the White House in the plans, and how, I mean, everything's happening.

00:06:51.300 It seems so coordinated with all of the different things that are happening.

00:06:55.420 How far out are you guys planned?

00:06:58.680 Well, look, as far as when did I start, you know, over a year ago, when President Trump, just before he announced he was going to run for president, he contacted me.

00:07:05.840 He wanted to know if he ran.

00:07:07.140 And, one, if I come back.

00:07:08.360 I told him, I'll so piss off whether my administration is a reporter, I'll come back for free, absolutely.

00:07:12.880 So, I think I was one of the first guys he called.

00:07:16.460 Anyways, I jumped at the chance, and I'm loving it.

00:07:19.820 And, look, Dwight, we're real successful right now.

00:07:23.360 Border crossings are down almost 90% across the southern border.

00:07:29.220 I mean, it wasn't that long ago we had, what, 11,000 a day under Joe Biden.

00:07:32.360 And, yesterday, we had, like, 486, 486 for the entire border.

00:07:37.340 And, not a single one of them were released to the United States.

00:07:39.420 They either immediately removed or put in detention.

00:07:42.040 It was great.

00:07:43.200 Any numbers going the other direction?

00:07:45.660 Do you have any idea of how many are self-deporting?

00:07:49.180 You know, we're trying to capture that metric now.

00:07:51.360 I'm sure there's a lot.

00:07:52.400 There's going to be an announcement coming here in the next week or so where we're going to start, you know, if they report to ICE before they self-deport or stop at a port of entry, we'll give them credit for it.

00:08:01.700 So, we're working on that now.

00:08:02.940 So, we have no idea who's self-deporting.

00:08:05.840 CBP has a system for people who, you know, are here on a piece and they leave, and they report that they left so we can track that.

00:08:11.980 But, as far as the illegal answer, there's no system in place.

00:08:14.000 We're working on that now.

00:08:15.320 But, there's going to be a warning coming out.

00:08:17.120 Like, they can't get ahead of it about 10 days from now where we're going to discuss this very issue and give illegal answers to this country the right to self-report so they don't get a bar placed on them.

00:08:27.220 Because, if you get deported from this country, formally deported, there's a bar placed on you from 5 to 20 years, depending on your case.

00:08:32.960 You can't come back under any circumstance.

00:08:35.460 Even if you have a U.S. citizen child that wants a petition for you, if you want to come back on a visitor's visa or a student visa, you just can't.

00:08:41.520 So, we'll have a massive push in about 10 days getting people to self-report and send them home.

00:08:47.780 Again, I think that's very fair and accomplishes everybody's goal.

00:08:52.760 If you really wanted to live here in America, okay, deport yourself now and you're not going to get a strike against you.

00:09:00.580 You know what I mean?

00:09:01.100 You'll be able.

00:09:01.800 Otherwise, you're out for 20 years.

00:09:03.440 Right.

00:09:03.520 Even if you have a child here, you're out.

00:09:07.400 You're out.

00:09:07.920 And when you're living here illegally, that puts a cap on how far you can go in this country. 1.00

00:09:17.300 Yes.

00:09:17.320 Yeah.

00:09:17.640 You're forever saddled with that.

00:09:19.740 Correct.

00:09:19.860 And it's just not good for you.

00:09:21.840 No.

00:09:22.600 So, I think the self-deportation thing is really, really good.

00:09:27.680 I found it interesting that they started planning a year in advance.

00:09:32.940 I'd like to, next time I talk to Donald Trump, I want to ask him, what is the earliest you started working and started thinking about how to put all of this together?

00:09:43.380 Now, I talked to him also about two other pieces that are going to stand in the administration's way, you know, unless Trump will take action against.

00:09:54.100 And the first one is the cartels, the retaliation in the drones.

00:09:58.380 Listen to this.

00:09:59.260 In the last couple of days, we've looked at USAID.

00:10:02.620 Tonight on the show, we talked about all of the money from the NGOs that was coming from the United States, from us taxpayers.

00:10:10.260 It is really outrageous.

00:10:11.720 A lot of that money fell into the hands of the cartels.

00:10:17.440 Nobody likes to take this kind of a dip in their cash flow.

00:10:21.800 They had a good business going with the United States government, it seems.

00:10:25.520 How concerned are you on retaliation from them and them saying they're going to use drones?

00:10:33.260 Do you believe it?

00:10:35.420 I absolutely believe it, and I'm very concerned.

00:10:37.640 I was on the southern border a couple of days ago with PXF, new secretary, and we discussed that very issue.

00:10:45.060 And, you know, I put a stiff warning out.

00:10:46.900 Look, like you just said, the cartels are making a record amount of money lately in the last four years.

00:10:52.020 Record amount of money smuggling aliens, sex trafficking women and children, moving drugs across the border.

00:10:58.360 They're making record amounts of money.

00:10:59.620 And that's why there's a cartel war going on in Mexico right now.

00:11:03.420 The cartels are fighting one another, but control the plazas, the area control.

00:11:08.400 So, look, they're not going to go away lightly.

00:11:10.380 They're not just going to walk away.

00:11:11.880 President Trump has designated terrorist organizations, so the whole world is going to come down on them.

00:11:17.380 The border's secure.

00:11:18.340 They can't move their product.

00:11:19.480 They can't smoke the people.

00:11:20.940 They're not going to go away lightly.

00:11:22.040 There will be violence on the border.

00:11:24.520 But, like I said just yesterday, I think the border patrol's prepared.

00:11:26.980 We get great intel on this, that the U.S. military's prepared.

00:11:30.880 And they're just warning the cartels.

00:11:32.340 I think if they harm a single border patrol agent or soldier, President Trump's going to rain hell down on them.

00:11:38.420 And I think he'll wipe them off the face of the earth.

00:11:41.160 There's a reason he doesn't in terrorist organizations.

00:11:43.720 They've killed more Americans than every terrorist organization in the world combined.

00:11:47.720 President Trump's not going to mess with them.

00:11:48.980 So, when you say there's going to be violence on the border, I heard you say that the other day.

00:11:55.020 What do you mean?

00:11:56.640 What should we prepare to see?

00:12:00.420 I think I'm going to see them shooting at border patrol agents.

00:12:02.600 They've already started.

00:12:03.500 There's a couple days ago where a border patrol agent was taking fire.

00:12:06.840 I think I'll see that escalate.

00:12:08.500 These groups are making record amounts of money.

00:12:10.600 They're not going to.

00:12:11.660 They've got to find a way to get their product in.

00:12:13.480 So, armed encounters with the cartels, I think are going to increase.

00:12:17.160 I hope I'm wrong.

00:12:18.200 But I've done this for 35 years.

00:12:19.960 I don't think I'm wrong at all.

00:12:21.140 There's going to be more armed encounters on that border.

00:12:23.880 And I just hope and pray every uniformed border patrol agent goes home to his family every day or her family.

00:12:30.740 But it's not going to be easy.

00:12:32.980 If anybody thinks that cartels are not going to respond in some fashion with some violence, they're crazy.

00:12:38.280 It's going to happen.

00:12:38.880 I talked to him then about the Scheinbaum, the president of Mexico, was outraged that anybody in Mexico would have been bought and sold by the cartels and yet to kill every politician who says they're going to stand up.

00:12:57.240 And he said, I think the good politicians are going to celebrate.

00:13:02.060 And he said, I know the people of Mexico will celebrate.

00:13:05.220 And he said, if these cartels push Trump, he said he will.

00:13:08.380 He'll just vaporize them.

00:13:10.680 He said they will be gone.

00:13:12.240 And I believe him on that.

00:13:15.600 Now, the other place where he really has a hard time, Trump is going to have a hard time, is the politicians.

00:13:22.720 The politicians here in America, between all of the NGOs that you've just cut off their source of funding, because your tax dollars, your tax dollars, as we showed you on my TV show over and over and over again.

00:13:40.480 But now it is confirmed.

00:13:42.400 No longer a conspiracy theory, gang.

00:13:45.060 Your tax dollars paid for all of this.

00:13:48.880 They were giving it to their buddies in the NGOs and all the way from the United Nations to USAID, everybody else.

00:13:58.300 They're paying these people to come in.

00:14:01.640 They set all of this up.

00:14:03.780 You know, Joe Biden says, well, I'm not inviting them in.

00:14:07.540 You know, there's really, you not only invited them in, you provided the transportation at our cost.

00:14:16.980 And you said, oh, no, these are just, you know, these are just aid agencies.

00:14:21.380 Yeah, that you were paying for.

00:14:24.040 It's just an outrage.

00:14:25.440 But now the politicians are starting to stand in the way.

00:14:28.600 And I don't know if you saw what Pam Bondi said yesterday, but now that she's in at the DOJ, she's not fooling around. 1.00

00:14:36.000 So I asked Tom, what about the politicians?

00:14:38.740 There are blue states now.

00:14:42.140 There are cities and mayors and everybody else that are saying they're not going to help ICE.

00:14:47.480 Are there any purposely impeding the orders of the president on deportations?

00:14:53.080 And if there are, what message do you want to send to them?

00:14:57.680 Look, I've been clear.

00:15:00.440 I mean, if they don't want to help, no shame on them because we've made it clear we're prioritizing public safety threats.

00:15:06.140 I find it hard to believe any politician, whether Republican, Democrat, Independent, does not want public safety threats removed from their communities.

00:15:13.620 I think the number of responsibility of any politician is protecting his communities.

00:15:17.540 But they don't want to help stand aside and vote through a forum.

00:15:19.800 I mean, I just landed.

00:15:22.320 I was in Aurora, Colorado today doing an operation.

00:15:25.620 Aurora, Colorado, the politicians said they had no problem with TDA.

00:15:28.640 Well, we went there today to answer the call.

00:15:30.460 The President Trump made a promise.

00:15:31.740 We kept that promise.

00:15:32.620 We're arresting TDA today.

00:15:34.820 But, you know, but they crossed that line.

00:15:36.780 I don't think anybody has crossed that line yet.

00:15:39.220 Governor Phil Murphy made some comment the other day.

00:15:42.040 He was harboring Illinois land and we've already started working that.

00:15:44.760 But all of a sudden now he's saying it wasn't true.

00:15:47.500 But if there's a politician that knowingly and actively impedes a federal law enforcement officer, it's a felony.

00:15:54.380 If they knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal animal from ICE official, it's a felony.

00:15:59.220 And look, we got Pam Bonney in there now. 1.00

00:16:01.020 Pam Bonney, on one first thing she did, is hold off federal funding for these sanctuary cities. 0.99

00:16:05.280 You have no problem if I recommend prosecution of a politician for impeding or knowingly harboring, concealing illegal aliens.

00:16:12.860 When you say impeding the work of ICE, does that mean they have to physically impede or just some of their policies?

00:16:23.920 That's what the Department of Justice is reviewing right now.

00:16:26.740 For me, it's like the mayor of Denver is saying he's going to put roadblocks up to have police officers blocks them into the city.

00:16:33.040 So that's clearly impeding.

00:16:36.340 DOJ, the deputy AG, Bovee, and they're looking at that right now.

00:16:41.800 They're making clear distinctions in one of these sanctuary jurisdictions.

00:16:44.780 Here's the line you don't cross.

00:16:46.260 So I'll let the attorneys work that out, but you should see guides come on that real soon.

00:16:50.320 And they're serious about it.

00:16:51.700 They're serious about it.

00:16:52.680 We're already looking at sanctuary city and see if they cross that line.

00:16:55.640 So I'm not an attorney.

00:16:57.480 I'm not prosecuted, but I'm willing to put handcuffs on somebody.

00:17:00.980 And once the U.S. attorney decides they're going to prosecute somebody.

00:17:05.300 Wow.

00:17:06.460 Now, what's so amazing, I think, about what Donald Trump is doing is the universality of all of it.

00:17:17.660 He's not just saying, hey, Border Patrol, you need to do this.

00:17:22.840 He's got Border Patrol, FBI, Homeland Security.

00:17:27.800 He has the Department of Justice.

00:17:31.120 He also has, believe it or not, the FCC.

00:17:35.860 He has now the DOJ working against things.

00:17:40.660 But when I come back, I'm going to tell you what the FCC.

00:17:44.700 This is not.

00:17:46.140 I saw this story in one place, and it was from a newspaper in California.

00:17:53.460 And this is incredible.

00:17:57.860 If you know anything at all about radio, it's about to change.

00:18:04.480 I'll explain in just a second.

00:18:05.960 I want you to hear what one listener had to say about their experience with SimpliSafe because, quote, I had SimpliSafe.

00:18:14.580 Man burglarized my home.

00:18:15.900 He's now spending six years in a New York prison.

00:19:38.580 Ten seconds, station ID.

00:19:53.180 I'm just talking to Pat.

00:19:56.860 KCBS, that's a Bay Area affiliate, right?

00:20:00.960 I think so, yeah.

00:20:00.980 Yeah.

00:20:01.080 So KCBS is part of the Cumulus network.

00:20:06.480 Who owns the Cumulus network now?

00:20:10.140 George Soros.

00:20:11.700 Oh, yeah.

00:20:12.440 George Soros had that pushed through, and Brendan Carr is now looking at that and saying,

00:20:19.540 whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:20:20.740 All these strings were pulled.

00:20:22.780 That's not the way we do business.

00:20:24.600 We're looking at it again.

00:20:26.360 Well, he may not have to go through all of that because of what KCBS has just done,

00:20:31.720 and he has found several stations doing these kinds of things.

00:20:35.740 KCBS, at the end of last month, was on the air doing news, and the reporter said that ICE

00:20:45.960 is rounding people up and then took from a left-wing activist group the location and even identified

00:20:58.160 the cars that they were using in undercover operations.

00:21:03.980 That is a felony.

00:21:06.360 And Brendan Carr is now looking at KCBS losing their license.

00:21:14.000 Oh, wow.

00:21:14.580 Yeah.

00:21:15.320 Yeah.

00:21:15.700 That's big.

00:21:16.480 Yeah.

00:21:16.800 That is huge.

00:21:18.780 Can you remember that?

00:21:19.640 I can't remember the last time that's happened over something like this, certainly.

00:21:24.580 No.

00:21:25.060 The last time I even heard-

00:21:25.820 Radio stations just don't lose their license very often.

00:21:29.040 Last time I heard threats of it was probably in the Howard Stern era.

00:21:34.160 Yeah.

00:21:34.820 You know what I mean?

00:21:35.780 Nobody's threatened with losing their license because everybody does the right thing.

00:21:39.900 And what he's saying is, you're supposed to serve the community.

00:21:44.940 Wow.

00:21:45.460 And the law is, we're doing this.

00:21:48.740 You can't stand against the law and then put officers in danger by giving their location

00:21:57.800 and what kind of cars they're driving in stakeouts.

00:22:00.800 And you can't do that.

00:22:02.120 Irresponsible is that.

00:22:03.720 How arrogant is that newsroom?

00:22:06.160 Jeez.

00:22:06.800 Yeah.

00:22:07.440 So he's also working on something else.

00:22:10.440 Looks like he's found a way to stop NPR as well.

00:22:16.580 NPR is now doing commercials.

00:22:20.560 And they're not supposed to do commercials.

00:22:23.400 And the entire network is selling these, you know, they call them sponsor messages, I think

00:22:31.980 is what they're saying.

00:22:33.680 But it's breaking all of the rules.

00:22:37.900 Uh, I'll get into that here in, in just a second, but a, he might be able to dismantle,

00:22:44.320 um, NPR.

00:22:47.200 And meanwhile, you have Doge in with Politico, the Washington post, uh, was this state run

00:22:58.160 media?

00:22:58.980 $34 million.

00:23:00.900 It's, that's the real number.

00:23:03.500 Apparently.

00:23:04.300 Wow.

00:23:05.040 To Politico.

00:23:06.520 Hmm.

00:23:07.900 Liz Wheeler broke this story yesterday and we're going to talk to her next.

00:23:13.700 This is Glenn Beck.

00:23:17.240 Hi, my name is Glenn.

00:23:18.600 And unfortunately I'm white, which means according to the rules of DEI, I probably shouldn't be

00:23:24.220 here talking to you right now about cozy earth sheets.

00:23:27.880 Uh, you know, I could get somebody, you know, that's, I don't know, maybe one legged, uh,

00:23:33.380 peg legged, really, but we could do a peg leg person.

00:23:36.320 And they can talk about, uh, how cozy these sheets are, but thanks to Doge, you're stuck

00:23:41.660 with me, the white guy.

00:23:42.540 Sorry about your luck.

00:23:43.720 Cozy earth makes the most amazing, comfortable sheets.

00:23:47.160 And they keep Tanya and I comfortable all night long with their bedding product.

00:23:53.920 So you could feel it.

00:23:55.300 Oh yeah.

00:23:55.960 Cause I was, I told you yesterday and you're like, it's come on.

00:23:58.820 They can't be that.

00:23:59.820 They really are.

00:24:01.280 It's like you pet it.

00:24:02.740 You know, uh, it's really, it's amazing.

00:24:05.560 Anyway, whether it's for Valentine's day or not cozy earth has somebody has something

00:24:55.800 Liz Wheeler is here.

00:24:57.180 She is the host of blaze TV's, the Liz Wheeler show.

00:25:01.040 She broke the news early yesterday that the federal government has been subsidizing

00:25:06.420 Politico, not to the tune of 6 million, but $34.3 million.

00:25:14.980 She has the receipts.

00:25:17.180 Uh, Liz, welcome to the program.

00:25:19.320 Hi Glenn.

00:25:20.140 Thanks for having me.

00:25:20.980 You bet.

00:25:21.520 So the media is now saying this is a right wing conspiracy.

00:25:26.020 There's nothing to see here.

00:25:27.360 But if the Trump administration, if, if those people were all subscribers to the blaze and

00:25:35.080 we were getting 6 million or $35 million from the Trump administration, even if it was all

00:25:42.020 legitimate, they would go apoplectic.

00:25:45.360 So tell me why this should, but this is, this is what, and they should go apoplectic.

00:25:52.540 If that were happening, this is one of the biggest media scandals of this decade.

00:25:56.520 And it's also a litmus test.

00:25:58.780 Anybody in the swamp, anybody elected politician, anybody in the media who's defending Politico,

00:26:04.300 getting this amount of money from the federal government, they're part of the problem.

00:26:07.760 They're the baddies, not the goodies here.

00:26:09.800 So what's happening is yesterday we woke up to news that Politico had received $8 million

00:26:15.620 from USAID.

00:26:17.380 USAID, of course, is a so-called autonomous agency of the federal government that Elon

00:26:21.960 Musk has been doging.

00:26:23.300 He's been exposing corruption within that agency.

00:26:25.380 It's a CIA front.

00:26:27.080 It's a CIA front.

00:26:28.260 It is in charge of all of the color revolutions all around the world and the color revolution 0.94

00:26:34.560 that they've been trying to pull here in America.

00:26:36.880 Anyway, go ahead.

00:26:37.660 That's exactly, that's exactly right.

00:26:39.160 I was going to say it's the nexus of the censorship industrial complex.

00:26:42.780 They've taken their political warfare abroad and aimed it back at us.

00:26:46.160 So no better target for Elon Musk than USAID.

00:26:49.200 This is a scandal in and of itself that Politico was receiving $8 million from them in 2024.

00:26:54.800 But what my team and I did is we went onto this website where any American citizen can find

00:26:59.860 out how their taxpayer money is spent.

00:27:01.760 It's called usaspending.gov.

00:27:04.100 And you plug in the name of any recipient organization group.

00:27:07.940 We typed Politico into the keyword.

00:27:10.420 And then instead of just looking at year 2024, we said all fiscal years.

00:27:14.560 Let's see how much Politico has received in the last 10 years.

00:27:17.120 And what we found before our very eyes, it began to populate millions upon millions of

00:27:22.060 dollars, totaling $34.3 million.

00:27:26.000 And Glenn, this is not just from USAID.

00:27:29.060 This is from a variable laundry list of the most corrupt federal government, swampy agencies

00:27:34.900 like the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, sub agencies

00:27:41.280 like the FDA and the CDC and the EPA.

00:27:44.800 And if you look at when these subsidies started, they started just about the moment that Trump

00:27:51.240 descended on that golden elevator in 2015.

00:27:53.700 That's when the gravy train for Politico started.

00:27:56.200 And then you can see it year by year in 2020 and 2021 when Joe Biden took office.

00:28:03.080 All of a sudden, these subsidies to Politico increased exponentially, exponentially.

00:28:08.580 And of course, you'll have these defenders saying, well, these are just subscriptions that federal

00:28:15.000 government employees paid for Politico Pro.

00:28:19.860 It's like a $10,000 a year subscription.

00:28:21.760 They claim it's a premium service.

00:28:23.280 Uh-huh.

00:28:23.900 Aimed right for the Beltway.

00:28:26.360 Aimed right directly at the Beltway.

00:28:29.640 So go ahead.

00:28:30.200 100 percent.

00:28:31.260 Well, first of all, that's clinically insane to pay $10,000 for a subscription service.

00:28:35.760 That's not a subsidy that is patronage if you are paying $10,000.

00:28:40.560 But this is what money laundering is, right?

00:28:43.400 It's nebulous.

00:28:44.420 It's vague.

00:28:45.520 Money is fungible.

00:28:47.140 So if the bulk of your revenue or a huge percentage of your revenue is coming from so-called

00:28:54.120 federal government employees that are paying this exorbitant fee, what are you going to

00:28:59.060 expect in response?

00:29:00.280 You're going to expect in response coverage exactly like Politico has given us, where they

00:29:04.720 told us the Hunter Biden laptop story isn't real, that it was Russian disinformation.

00:29:09.560 They were the leader on that.

00:29:11.520 They were the leader on that.

00:29:12.760 Yep.

00:29:13.360 Yes, of course, which makes sense when you think about where they're getting all this

00:29:16.320 $34.3 million from.

00:29:18.700 They were defenders of the COVID-19 jab, the Moderna jab, even for young men, which we

00:29:23.780 now know it's very dangerous.

00:29:25.300 They're the ones, Glenn, that led.

00:29:27.360 They broke the story when the Supreme Court leaker leaked that the Supreme Court was going

00:29:31.740 to overturn Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs case.

00:29:33.840 They were the ones that published that.

00:29:35.440 So they are an arm.

00:29:37.540 They're a propaganda arm of the federal government.

00:29:40.580 This, as you said, is the biggest scandal in media.

00:29:45.800 So you know, Liz, just a point of information that most people don't know.

00:29:50.460 So during the Obama administration, it may still be true, I don't know, you couldn't not

00:29:56.920 only get to Blaze TV to log on on a government computer, you couldn't go to theblaze.com.

00:30:05.160 It was banned as a website for the government.

00:30:09.640 Yeah.

00:30:10.780 Yeah.

00:30:11.380 Oh, man.

00:30:12.580 Yeah.

00:30:13.020 So, yeah.

00:30:14.300 So anybody who was like, well, you know, they were just, well, there are a lot of people

00:30:18.820 that wanted to, you know, subscribe and subscribe personally, not through their office, and just

00:30:25.800 be able to listen or watch or just get their news from the news site, theblaze.com.

00:30:33.560 And they were blocked.

00:30:35.660 Every government employee was blocked.

00:30:39.740 I did not know that.

00:30:41.200 I mean, it proved exactly what we've been saying.

00:30:44.380 First of all, there is no justification on the face of this earth for $34.3 million to

00:30:50.560 be given from the federal government agencies to a supposedly objective media organization.

00:30:55.620 There's just, there's no explanation for it.

00:30:57.340 We all know that.

00:30:58.760 They're the swamp creatures that are defending it or just exposing their true colors here. 0.85

00:31:02.820 We're not always lucky enough to have an email that says this $10,000 is for the big

00:31:07.580 guy or this 10% is for the big guy.

00:31:09.420 But we know we're smart people.

00:31:11.480 We use common sense.

00:31:12.340 We know how human nature works.

00:31:13.520 We know that if the federal government is giving this exorbitant amount of money to a

00:31:18.000 media organization, what they're going to get in return is coverage and cover-ups and

00:31:22.320 propaganda and emotional manipulation.

00:31:24.640 And exactly what we've seen from Politico for the past, for the past decade, you know,

00:31:29.520 coincidentally, since this gravy train began.

00:31:32.160 And one comment on, you know, the Blaze TV, I double-checked this morning to see how much

00:31:38.080 our subscriptions are because I was like, okay, I pay for a couple of subscriptions to

00:31:42.280 even mainstream media outlets, although I really try not to because I don't like to give them

00:31:46.600 my money.

00:31:47.100 But I need to for research purposes sometimes.

00:31:49.380 Me too.

00:31:49.580 Um, normal people pay a hundred dollars a year.

00:31:53.280 That's what, if you go to blaze tv.com slash Liz is $120 for an annual subscription and you

00:31:58.220 can get $20 off.

00:31:59.540 That's what normal people pay.

00:32:01.100 And even then they probably share the login, which also normal people do.

00:32:04.440 Uh, well, we don't encourage that, but yeah, but yes, you're right.

00:32:10.000 I mean, you know, uh, my initial, uh, payment to open the doors, uh, I had a few partners

00:32:19.680 and they, I can't remember what they gave, but it was probably around 10 million together.

00:32:25.860 Uh, and I had put in 20 million myself.

00:32:29.840 We started this entire operation with $30 million, $30 million is what kicked off the

00:32:39.280 place when the technology didn't even exist, that we had to invent all of this stuff to

00:32:44.700 do it, to have $34 million coming in from the federal government.

00:32:50.540 They are your master.

00:32:53.140 They are absolutely your master.

00:32:55.700 Could you talk about one thing, Liz?

00:32:57.260 Um, the press is hanging their hat on the fact that some media outlets said that was,

00:33:05.200 that was the cause of them not making payroll was doge.

00:33:09.260 That didn't, that didn't have anything to do with it, did it?

00:33:13.160 Well, it depends on if you are a swamp creature and you view the world through your own twisted

00:33:17.800 reality, or if you're a normal person that can look at things that probably aren't coincidences.

00:33:23.140 We were told that, we were told that according to this initial report, that Politico had

00:33:27.140 never missed a paycheck before.

00:33:28.680 So I would just pose questions, um, to all of, to all of us normies.

00:33:33.780 Do you think that's a coincidence that the day that their gravy train is cut off, that

00:33:37.040 they're not able to make payroll?

00:33:38.500 It doesn't seem so simple to me.

00:33:39.920 It's funny because, uh, one of my producers knows one of the people at Politico and on the

00:33:48.800 phone all day yesterday, arguing back and forth.

00:33:51.720 And this person said, we have payroll glitches here all the time.

00:33:56.540 And I thought, I've never had a payroll glitch.

00:34:00.820 I, if I, if I'd get another payroll service, if it was glitchy all the time.

00:34:07.640 So, I mean, they either have the worst payroll, uh, service, which there's lots of them out

00:34:14.300 there you can get that actually work or there was something else going on, but that's not

00:34:19.500 the story.

00:34:20.560 The story is, that's what they were using to distract from the $34.3 million, even though

00:34:26.380 subscriptions are a distraction because they don't want us to think $34.3 million given

00:34:32.060 from basically the Biden regime to Politico.

00:34:35.220 It is one of the most significant scandals the mainstream media has ever been exposed without

00:34:40.460 an excuse being in the middle of that I can remember.

00:34:43.060 So we also found out yesterday that our federal government gave millions of dollars to the

00:34:50.980 BBC, the BB fricking C that's, that's supposed to be the queen's money, not our money.

00:35:00.000 What the hell are we doing funding the BBC?

00:35:04.100 I mean, the, go ahead.

00:35:07.060 No, listen, this is, this is what's so critical to understand the reason that people like, I

00:35:11.240 don't know if you've been watching Brian Stelter's X feed, it's quite funny because he's freaking

00:35:14.720 out about this.

00:35:15.680 The same with Jen Psaki on MSNBC. 0.97

00:35:18.340 She was like, there's a hostile takeover of the federal government happening because you

00:35:23.620 and I are identifying ways that taxpayer money has been corruptly abused.

00:35:29.260 That's a hostile takeover in her mind.

00:35:31.540 But the reason they're freaking out about this isn't just because their pet projects won't

00:35:35.920 be funded anymore or they won't have a login to their gossip reg Politico magazine or whatever

00:35:41.280 it is.

00:35:41.940 The reason they're freaking out is because their mechanism of controlling us hinges on the

00:35:47.900 mainstream media outlets, these corporate media outlets running propaganda for them.

00:35:52.820 And they'll never be able to lie to us and emotionally manipulate us if the media isn't

00:35:57.060 taking a front, isn't taking a leading role in that.

00:36:00.400 And now they can.

00:36:01.400 On top of that, they also have lost their grave gravy train through the NGOs.

00:36:06.260 They found a way to get all of their radical friends to open up an NGO and then funnel millions

00:36:12.780 of dollars into it so they can do everything that they want with taxpayer dollars.

00:36:19.580 If you look at just USAID's 2023 fact sheet, the agency supported 6,200 journalists, 707 news

00:36:34.600 outlets, 279 media sector civil society organizations.

00:36:40.440 And the, uh, and this comes from the Columbia journalism review.

00:36:45.400 Now, I don't know if you've got 6,000 journalists on your payroll, you could probably influence

00:36:54.440 a few people.

00:36:56.820 This has got to stop.

00:36:59.180 And I don't know what it's going to take for your neighbors to stop listening to the mainstream

00:37:06.720 media.

00:37:07.400 That's why it's important not to say, in my opinion, that this is why they didn't make

00:37:12.160 payroll because we can't prove that.

00:37:14.000 We don't know.

00:37:14.980 Uh, I mean, great coincidence, but we don't know.

00:37:18.500 It's important to say, but this is provably true.

00:37:24.240 It's the thing with Ben Stiller and, uh, you know, Angelina Jolie going over to Ukraine,

00:37:30.100 getting $20 million.

00:37:31.240 That didn't happen.

00:37:32.260 That's not true.

00:37:34.300 You need to know what the truth is because the truth itself is so unbelievably powerful

00:37:41.120 that you need to know what that is.

00:37:43.660 And that's what we try to give you here, uh, every day.

00:37:46.680 Um, Liz, thank you for this, uh, expose.

00:37:49.240 It's great.

00:37:49.720 Thanks, Glenn.

00:37:52.620 Liz Wheeler from the Liz Wheeler show, um, on blaze TV.

00:37:55.920 She's the, she's the one that broke the, everybody else is talking about 8 million.

00:38:00.180 She's the one that broke yesterday.

00:38:01.900 It's $34 million.

00:38:04.000 Uh, real estate agents, I trust.com is our sponsor this half hour.

00:38:07.820 Uh, there are some people out there who just don't believe in half measures.

00:38:11.920 I mean, at all, everything they do, they give 100% of themselves to doing it and they do

00:38:17.040 it happily.

00:38:17.680 They do it in a timely fashion.

00:38:19.460 They do it right the first time.

00:38:21.320 It's, I don't know, it's a drive for merit.

00:38:23.720 It's a drive for excellence.

00:39:37.360 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:39:42.840 Very glad you're here.

00:39:43.860 Thank you so much for listening to us.

00:39:45.480 Thank you for subscribing to Blaze TV.

00:39:48.100 We appreciate your support.

00:39:49.600 We're not getting any support from the government, nor do we want it, nor do we want it.

00:39:54.080 So, let me just wrap up everything that's happening with the media.

00:39:59.280 So, Politico swept up with USAID and the rest of the government.

00:40:05.960 You just heard that.

00:40:07.920 Elon Musk is going to eliminate the waste on some of these things, especially with Politico.

00:40:14.820 Donald Trump has frozen the millions in USAID funds for foreign media.

00:40:23.200 It is crazy what we were doing.

00:40:26.380 Criminal investigation into James O'Keefe.

00:40:29.960 If you remember Ashley Biden diary, they had it.

00:40:35.200 They were not going to release any of it.

00:40:37.880 I think they were trying to return it.

00:40:39.400 And the Biden DOJ kicked these journalists' doors down, and they were prosecuting them.

00:40:47.000 Pam Bondi reversed that yesterday. 0.84

00:40:49.840 That is no longer a problem.

00:40:52.080 And the 60 Minutes interview.

00:40:56.380 Looks like the FCC found that it wasn't edited for time.

00:41:02.360 You were making political edits in that.

00:41:06.100 And I guess they just thought they could do it and get away with it.

00:41:10.440 This is Glenn Beck.

00:41:12.920 We have Stephen Moore coming up in just a second.

00:41:14.720 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:41:15.840 It's NetSuite.

00:41:16.840 One of the most important things that business owners need to know, no matter what kind of business you own, is the return on investment.

00:41:23.500 What is it going to be?

00:41:24.500 Just how much money is going out versus how much money is coming in?

00:41:27.940 What is your investment worth?

00:41:30.480 Is it worth it?

00:41:31.220 Well, I can tell you that if you don't have the detailed view from every department, and if your departments aren't communicating, you're never going to know.

00:41:38.200 That could drive you out of business during the best of times, let alone right now.

00:41:42.100 This is why you need NetSuite by Oracle.

00:41:45.280 It is the number one cloud ERP bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, and HR all onto one fluid platform.

00:43:16.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:21.260 You know, in days not too long ago, if I said, you know what, this hour we're going to talk a little bit about tariffs.

00:43:28.000 I think my producers would have killed me because there is nothing more snore-fest than tariffs, except right now.

00:43:36.760 Now we're talking about tariffs and a massive reduction in income tax, even the possibility of no income tax.

00:43:44.860 For people who don't understand tariffs or maybe you don't like tariffs, I've never been a tariff guy.

00:43:50.880 Are we in a different age?

00:43:53.220 Stephen Moore is with us here in just a second.

00:44:45.960 Stephen Moore, welcome to the Program Committee to Unleash Prosperity.

00:44:49.920 Co-founder, if I remember right, you've been with me against tariffs for a long time.

00:44:58.900 Have you changed on this?

00:45:00.840 Because I think I'm changing, Stephen.

00:45:03.200 Hey, Glenn, so good to be with you.

00:45:05.380 And by the way, I'm also an informal advisor to Trump on the economy.

00:45:10.680 Oh, good.

00:45:11.060 And by the way, he knows that I'm not a huge fan of tariffs, but you set this up very well.

00:45:18.200 You know, a tariff is basically a consumption tax.

00:45:21.160 Correct.

00:45:21.560 You know, something you and I have talked about over the years, Glenn, is a national retail sales tax to replace the income tax.

00:45:27.580 Well, if you did that, you would essentially be, you know, taxing everything when it came in to the country because it's going to be consumed here.

00:45:34.800 And so what Trump is basically talking about, which I think is a really interesting idea, is not necessarily getting rid of the income tax, but lowering all the tax rates to 15%.

00:45:46.900 You know, right now, you know, where it's like 30% or more.

00:45:52.320 And then imposing that.

00:45:53.860 What little world do you live in?

00:45:56.760 I'd celebrate with 30% income tax.

00:45:59.320 Yeah, right.

00:45:59.900 I mean, if you're really rich, you know, you could be up to about 40%.

00:46:03.540 So I kind of like that idea.

00:46:06.960 I mean, so I broached with Trump the other day, this idea of 15-15-15.

00:46:11.380 So how about if we have a 15% corporate rate, a 15% individual income tax rate, a 15% universal tariff, a 15% cap gains, dividend?

00:46:21.220 Can you imagine that?

00:46:22.520 We would suck on so much capital.

00:46:23.940 It would unleash prosperity like nobody's business, like nobody's business.

00:46:30.780 No country could compete with us here.

00:46:34.160 Let me give an example, you know, Glenn, that I think everybody can relate to because you have listeners around the country.

00:46:39.660 You know what two or three states in the United States have the biggest in-migration right now?

00:46:45.700 Yeah, Florida and Texas.

00:46:48.240 And Tennessee.

00:46:49.540 Now, for a bonus question, I know you're supposed to be asking questions.

00:46:53.380 Do you know what those three states have in common?

00:46:55.460 No income tax.

00:46:56.780 No income tax.

00:46:57.780 You know, so people and businesses and capital and jobs migrate to places with low tax rates.

00:47:04.900 So if we had the lowest tax rates in the world on top of, you know, the greatest workers in the world, the greatest minds in the world, the freest country in the world, I mean, we would just blow away the rest of the world.

00:47:14.840 And Trump is very – I don't know, you know, it's going to be tough to get that done, but that's where he wants to end up.

00:47:19.720 I tell you, that is the problem we've always had with tariffs, for me at least, is it's just a tax and you're already taxing us.

00:47:29.040 Right.

00:47:29.320 And, you know, it's like, well, then buy American and you don't have to pay for that tariff.

00:47:33.340 Okay, but I'm already being taxed at a pretty high rate.

00:47:37.500 Please, I don't want to pay more for things that maybe I want or maybe that are cheaper because they were coming from China.

00:47:44.720 Yeah.

00:47:45.160 So let me explain – again, this is a good conversation for people to have because, you know, Trump has said different things at different times.

00:47:50.480 But in my conversation with last week, it was basically saying – he puts it very simply.

00:47:55.600 He said this in some of his speeches, too.

00:47:57.800 What he wants to do is charge of, you know, 15% tax on things that are made in China or, you know, Europe or Japan.

00:48:06.220 But if it's made in Michigan or Ohio or Pennsylvania or California or Maine, he wants to have the rate 15%.

00:48:13.040 And I'm like, well, I can live with that, Mr. President.

00:48:15.020 I think that's a pretty cool idea.

00:48:17.160 I mean, I'm America first guy.

00:48:18.800 If I'd rather have people buy things that are made in America, all things equal –

00:48:22.800 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:48:24.040 You just said if it's from China, you're paying 15% tariff.

00:48:28.240 But if it's made in America, you said you pay an extra 15%.

00:48:31.720 No, not an extra.

00:48:32.980 That's zero.

00:48:33.380 I'm sorry.

00:48:33.980 We're cutting – no, what I'm saying is you're going to pay a 15% income tax if it's made in the United States.

00:48:39.160 In other words, the profits you make on selling something, let's say you make widgets,

00:48:43.220 and you make a profit on making those widgets in Pennsylvania or wherever it is,

00:48:46.920 you're only going to pay a 15% income tax.

00:48:48.980 But to buy that product, if it's made in America, you don't pay any tax.

00:48:55.080 No, no, no, no.

00:48:56.780 In other words, so what you're trying to do is skew the table a little bit more in favor of buying things made in the U.S. versus other countries.

00:49:04.660 And by the way, that's what all the other countries do to us. 0.97

00:49:06.800 I know.

00:49:08.300 I know.

00:49:09.800 I have to tell you, I think the way the president is handling really everything – I've never seen anything like this, Stephen.

00:49:18.060 Have you?

00:49:18.460 Me neither.

00:49:19.620 No.

00:49:20.120 I've been in the game about as long as you have.

00:49:22.440 I mean, I arrived in Washington in the Reagan year, so I still think Reagan was one of our greatest presidents.

00:49:26.920 But Trump – I think Trump, it's interesting because whenever we have meetings like Laffer and I with Trump, he's always asking about Reagan.

00:49:33.520 He's very kind of envious.

00:49:34.580 He wants to go down in history as being one of the great presidents like Reagan.

00:49:38.320 He's going to.

00:49:38.620 And that's a good role model to have.

00:49:39.860 Yeah.

00:49:39.980 And so, you know, I think you're going to – and he also understands, Glenn, he's only got really about two years to get it done.

00:49:47.640 You know, and that will be – because remember, he's a lame duck.

00:49:49.800 He can't run for re-election again.

00:49:51.400 So he understands that.

00:49:52.760 That's why he raced out of the gate like Secretary at the minute he took the oath of office.

00:49:57.680 And I think, you know, I think I said on your show a month ago or so, you know, buckle up because this is going to be a hell of a ride.

00:50:04.800 And it's only been three weeks.

00:50:06.900 I know.

00:50:07.300 It's amazing.

00:50:07.940 17 days.

00:50:08.980 And I think he's accomplished more than most presidents have done in their entire term.

00:50:14.240 Definitely.

00:50:14.900 Yeah.

00:50:15.300 Definitely.

00:50:15.600 And I don't think it's going to stop anytime soon.

00:50:17.760 He told me I don't – because I said, you've got only two years to do this.

00:50:20.960 He said, Glenn, two years.

00:50:22.680 I've got 100 days.

00:50:24.240 If I don't have all this done in 100 days, it's not going to get done.

00:50:28.800 There's a lot of truth to that.

00:50:30.020 Yeah.

00:50:30.440 There's a lot of truth to that.

00:50:31.360 And that's why we have to get this tax cut done.

00:50:33.380 And that's one of my highest priorities is, you know, making sure that we make the tax cut that we passed in 2017 permanent.

00:50:39.920 I want to make sure your listeners understand something.

00:50:42.240 I think most of your listeners know this, but a lot of people are not aware of it.

00:50:46.720 If Congress does nothing, everyone's taxes are going to go up next year.

00:50:50.960 Correct.

00:50:51.580 Everyone's.

00:50:52.140 You know, we don't want Donald Trump raising tax on people.

00:50:55.480 And so we've got to get this tax cut done.

00:50:57.820 I like his idea of no tax on tips.

00:50:59.960 I like the idea of no tax on overtime.

00:51:01.660 We'll add some other things on it.

00:51:03.520 But these are all oriented towards making American economy great again.

00:51:07.620 So it's going to work.

00:51:08.980 How how why aren't we going for 15, 15, 15 over doing, you know, making this permanent?

00:51:17.740 Why not just in one move, try to go for the whole enchilada?

00:51:21.720 My friend, my friend, that may happen.

00:51:23.640 You know, we'll see how it turns out at the very minimum.

00:51:26.780 We have to make those drafts tax cuts permanent.

00:51:29.180 But we may go further than that.

00:51:30.620 I mean, we may go with 15, 15, 15.

00:51:33.320 And that would be a remarkable accomplishment.

00:51:35.580 And then, you know, we're going to produce American energy.

00:51:37.860 We're going to he's already slashed the regulation costs.

00:51:41.160 So it's going to make America incredibly competitive.

00:51:43.840 And the jobs are going to flow here, not to China and Japan and all the other countries.

00:51:48.140 We not only have to we not only have to grow our bottom line, grow our way out of this, which we can, but we also must cut, you know, if it would take, I think, 65 years at this point that the speed of Doge and they're cutting like crazy to actually balance the budget.

00:52:08.780 Are we going to be able to cut enough?

00:52:11.620 Is there an appetite for that?

00:52:13.200 Well, you know, I've been in, as I said, I've been in this town for 40 years and, you know, Republicans talk a good game.

00:52:19.480 But when it comes right down to it, they like to spend money just as much as Democrats do.

00:52:23.700 So but look, I think how about what Trump is talking about, about getting rid of all these crazy foreign aid programs? 0.99

00:52:29.960 I mean, the left is hyperventilating about this, but those programs never work.

00:52:35.080 They don't they don't lead to any development.

00:52:37.320 They just create a huge international bureaucracy of people who hate America.

00:52:41.700 So, I mean, this guy has has a spine of steel.

00:52:45.720 I mean, he really does.

00:52:47.080 He really does.

00:52:48.420 Stephen, thank you so much.

00:52:50.140 God bless you.

00:52:50.860 OK, keep us keep us in form.

00:52:52.920 We should check in more office. 0.85

00:52:54.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:52:55.000 I will.

00:52:55.480 I will.

00:52:55.740 Thank you very much.

00:52:57.400 Stephen Moore, Committee to Unleash Prosperity.

00:53:01.160 I have to tell you, I think if he did 15, 15, 15, it it would explode, which is 15 percent flat income tax.

00:53:11.900 Yes.

00:53:12.440 Fifteen percent corporate corporate and 15 percent tariff tariff.

00:53:17.380 Wow.

00:53:17.960 So you don't make it in America.

00:53:19.760 You know how many people you know what's what's the the company that bought Ford and Jaguar and everything?

00:53:25.340 Still, still and it's what I can't remember the name of that company, but they're now talking about coming back to America because of the tariffs.

00:53:34.160 They're going to make the Jeep back in Detroit.

00:53:37.140 They've already moved fifteen hundred jobs back to a factory here in America.

00:53:42.360 They're going to now move them also back to Detroit to make the Jeep back in America.

00:53:47.280 That's what happens if you have a tariff and you have 15 percent tax.

00:53:54.440 This is why, you know, it's fascinating.

00:53:57.420 This is why when we were headed towards that global government, this is why the president and all the leaders of the West tried to get an agreement that there would be a minimum corporate tax.

00:54:11.900 Do you remember that?

00:54:12.980 And we were all part of that.

00:54:15.600 A minimum corporate tax.

00:54:17.640 No, no, we're not going to play.

00:54:20.640 We're not going to hobble everybody if we can work it to our advantage.

00:54:24.800 So we grow.

00:54:26.920 Why would we hobble ourself?

00:54:29.020 Yeah.

00:54:29.700 And 15, 15, 15 would blow the world away, blow it away, make us far more competitive than any other industrialization.

00:54:39.940 The jobs that would be created here, you would get more money into the coffers of the United States government because the prosperity would be so high.

00:54:52.860 Yeah.

00:54:53.480 It'd be amazing.

00:54:54.600 And to replace the progressive income tax with just a 15 percent flat tax, that would make such a huge difference.

00:55:02.440 Are you kidding me?

00:55:02.980 In Americans' lives. 0.83

00:55:03.740 It's just this, if we had a flat tax, think of how many dollars are wasted on IRS audits, how much time is wasted at places like H&R Block, your accountant, how much time you spend putting your taxes, getting the receipts, figuring it all out.

00:55:23.420 Think of just the man hours.

00:55:27.380 Forget about the money that's being lost in preparing it.

00:55:30.920 Just the man hours.

00:55:32.620 If you had those man hours back, what could we be doing with that money and those man hours?

00:55:40.580 Just that is game changing in growing the economy because you have more money to keep and more time to do what you want to do.

00:55:49.580 Mm-hmm.

00:55:50.580 It's, I'm telling you, if he does, if he can do 15, 15, 15, if he could pull that off, it's a new world.

00:55:58.280 And Stephen Moore said it's a possibility?

00:56:00.380 Yeah.

00:56:00.680 That's pretty amazing.

00:56:01.540 That is amazing.

00:56:02.660 That is amazing.

00:56:03.620 All right.

00:56:04.160 Relief factor.

00:56:06.240 I want to talk to you a little bit about pain.

00:56:08.580 I woke up every day, pretty much, you know, every day of my life for 10 years, easy, feeling like there was an elephant tap dancing all over my body and my hands.

00:56:18.200 It was awful.

00:56:19.620 And they're not good tap dancers as well because they have four feet. 1.00

00:56:23.280 Anyway, I tried to, I tried everything to fight the pain, tried everything I could try, went to the best doctors, everything else, nothing worked.

00:56:31.980 I don't know why relief factor works.

00:56:34.660 I know what they say, what it does to your body, but it's the only thing that took that pain away.

00:56:42.260 I'm telling you, please just try it.

00:56:44.500 My wife told me to try it.

00:56:45.920 I wasn't going to try it.

00:56:47.080 I was more like you.

00:56:48.340 That's not going to do anything for me.

00:56:50.380 My wife said, I'm not going to listen to you whine all the time. 1.00

00:56:53.240 And I'm like, I don't whine, sweetheart.

00:56:54.900 And why do you always sound like that?

00:56:57.140 It's really annoying.

00:56:58.280 Anyway, over a million people have tried relief factors.

00:57:01.560 Quick start.

00:57:02.220 Seventy percent of them have the same experience I had.

00:57:04.840 Please try it.

00:57:06.380 Get back to living well.

00:57:08.780 Relief factor.

00:57:10.060 Try relief factor.

00:57:11.060 Three week quick start.

00:57:11.960 Nineteen ninety five.

00:57:13.080 Take it exactly as directed for three weeks.

00:57:16.260 Eight hundred.

00:57:16.940 The number four relief.

00:57:18.180 Eight hundred.

00:57:18.740 The number four relief.

00:57:20.180 Or visit relieffactor dot com.

00:57:22.900 Ten seconds.

00:57:23.420 Station I.D.

00:57:23.960 So the Senate committee has delayed the vote on Kash Patel's nomination.

00:57:40.220 That's not good.

00:57:41.560 Yeah.

00:57:42.300 That's not good.

00:57:43.500 The Democrats are just freaking out.

00:57:45.800 They're freaking out about everything.

00:57:47.340 And they should.

00:57:48.520 Yeah.

00:57:48.800 They should.

00:57:49.320 They set this system up.

00:57:51.040 I mean, every American should be with pitchforks in the streets saying who is responsible for all of this money that went to NGOs and billions of dollars that were my tax dollars going to feed the homeless, fly the home or not homeless immigrants to enlist them.

00:58:19.080 To set up people all along the way with maps and everything else.

00:58:24.160 And they acted like, well, it's just people are their refugees. 0.67

00:58:27.300 They're escaping their. 0.97

00:58:28.420 I don't know their problems in their own countries.

00:58:30.760 No, you went and got them.

00:58:34.500 The the unbelievable, unmitigated gall of these people to stand up and say these are important programs.

00:58:43.760 You enriched all of your leftist buddies.

00:58:46.620 That's all you did.

00:58:47.580 Yeah.

00:58:48.080 Yeah.

00:58:48.880 I mean, when you find out that, like you mentioned earlier, the BBC has been receiving taxpayer dollars.

00:58:56.840 Why?

00:58:57.480 The British Broadcasting Company.

00:58:59.860 What?

00:59:00.340 Why is that our responsibility?

00:59:03.300 None of these things are.

00:59:04.300 And so when that gravy train comes to a halt, yeah, people are going to be upset about it.

00:59:12.520 Tough.

00:59:13.360 I tell you, they're going after George Soros now.

00:59:16.720 Do we have that picture of Junior George?

00:59:19.840 You know, the left is concerned about some amazing billionaire, Elon Musk.

00:59:27.960 How horrible it is that he, unelected.

00:59:31.920 Oh, my gosh.

00:59:32.440 Has so much power.

00:59:33.760 Yeah.

00:59:34.020 Look at, there he is, George Jr. with Joe Biden.

00:59:37.760 Next picture.

00:59:38.580 Here he is with, that's, oh, that's the bicycle guy, Mayor Pete.

00:59:47.800 Yeah.

00:59:48.140 So there he is with Mayor Pete.

00:59:49.160 Booty Judge. 0.95

00:59:50.140 That's Cory Booker hanging out with him.

00:59:53.460 And by the way, when you're going to meet with him, oh, look at that, it's Adam Schiff.

00:59:57.380 When you're going to meet with him, you're not going just to say hi.

01:00:02.140 Hey, I love your glasses.

01:00:03.800 I was wondering where you got them.

01:00:05.240 You're going for money.

01:00:07.560 There's Warnock.

01:00:08.500 And this guy wields so much power.

01:00:12.220 At least our guy is out in the open.

01:00:15.600 Right.

01:00:15.840 You know, our guy is like, yeah, this is what I'm going to do.

01:00:18.980 Our guy campaigned on saying, by the way, this guy is going to be my point man to cut all of these things.

01:00:26.100 We voted on that.

01:00:28.300 Did you ever vote on George Soros or his son?

01:00:32.240 Did you ever vote on that?

01:00:34.100 No.

01:00:34.720 No.

01:00:34.960 They hide that from you.

01:00:36.900 They deny that.

01:00:38.520 They say, that's, you know, how dare you?

01:00:41.660 How dare you?

01:00:42.480 You're just anti-Semitic.

01:00:44.060 It has nothing to do with his heritage.

01:00:47.960 Nothing to do with it.

01:00:49.300 I don't like billionaires who are trying to shape the world in a way that I disagree with, having access to our government, having access to our tax dollars.

01:01:04.000 And none of us are even told what they're doing.

01:01:07.080 You know, it was USAID and George Soros that overthrew the government of Ukraine.

01:01:14.480 We overthrew that.

01:01:16.000 When they were having that big thing in Ukraine with, what was it, the 2014, I think, when we were saying, oh, Russia, Russia's got this new guy in there.

01:01:29.860 We got to get him out.

01:01:31.100 And the people are just rising up.

01:01:33.460 It was USAID and George Soros and Hillary Clinton that were in charge of all of that.

01:01:39.920 It was a Victoria Nuland that did all of that. 0.81

01:01:44.780 They used Facebook.

01:01:46.640 Our State Department sent people over telling them how to organize a revolution.

01:01:52.740 Are you kidding me?

01:01:54.400 Did you know your tax dollars were going?

01:01:55.880 I mean, I know you did if you listen or watch any of my shows, because we outlined this over and over and over again.

01:02:02.360 But that's what Chuck Schumer and others are actually standing up for.

01:02:06.800 They're actually in the street saying these things are important to overthrow other governments.

01:02:12.860 No, I don't think so.

01:02:14.880 I mean, maybe that was cool back in the old timey days of the 1960s before we see what it does to the world and does to our reputation.

01:02:24.380 I'm done with all of that.

01:02:27.440 It doesn't work.

01:02:30.440 But.

01:02:32.160 They found a way to make money on it.

01:02:34.660 They found a way to not only overthrow, to gain power for their friends, but also to enrich their friends and stay in power.

01:02:43.520 Because, hey, if I'm giving you, Pat, I'm giving you and your cookie company, $10 million, and I'm running for office, do you think you're going to write a check for maybe a couple hundred grand for me?

01:02:57.480 Yeah, it's possible.

01:02:58.120 Yeah, it's possible.

01:02:59.460 It's possible.

01:03:00.580 That's how this is all working.

01:03:02.100 And it's all taxpayer money.

01:03:04.160 If I were in the government and I got the money and I funneled it to Pat, he's going to funnel some of that money back to me.

01:03:11.300 This is money laundering.

01:03:13.100 That's the agreement.

01:03:14.220 It is the.

01:03:14.940 It's the agreement up front.

01:03:16.520 Unspoken agreement.

01:03:17.300 It is.

01:03:17.620 It is.

01:03:18.820 It's so bad.

01:03:20.080 I noticed you only showed Soros with Democrats.

01:03:23.620 Let's show all the photos of Soros with Republican senators now.

01:03:28.540 Oh, okay, there they are.

01:03:32.040 There's none.

01:03:33.740 Wow, that's a, I got to count again.

01:03:37.220 That was zero.

01:03:38.140 We're sure that's zero.

01:03:39.400 Zero.

01:03:39.900 Yeah, none.

01:03:40.920 So unbelievable.

01:03:42.620 So unbelievable.

01:03:43.640 All right, back in just a second with more.

01:03:55.000 This is Glenn Beck.

01:03:57.600 Okay, we all know what you eat can have a huge effect on your health.

01:04:01.920 I mean, imagine having McDonald's every day.

01:04:04.040 Would you do that to your kids, feeding them McDonald's food that can be set on a shelf and looks the same after two years?

01:04:12.800 I wouldn't.

01:04:13.840 I wouldn't.

01:04:14.260 Every day, three meals a day.

01:04:16.560 Now, why are we doing that with our dog?

01:04:19.080 That's what's happening.

01:04:20.080 If you're feeding your dog kibble food, that has to, by law, live on a shelf or sit on a shelf, because there's nothing live in it.

01:04:29.400 Sit on a shelf for up to two years.

01:04:32.300 Here's what I want you to do.

01:04:33.380 I want you to take Rough Greens 90-Day Challenge.

01:04:35.940 It means for 90 days, all you have to do is sprinkle Rough Greens on top of your dog's food, no matter what you feed them.

01:04:41.220 Then watch the results.

01:04:43.040 Within 30 days, shinier coat, increase of energy.

01:04:46.160 You're going to see that almost immediately.

01:04:48.180 60 days, your dog's going to have a stronger immune system, less shedding, improved joint function, all due to the live ingredients and nutrients that you have just added in to his or her diet.

01:04:58.840 By 90 days, better digestion, reduced inflammation, improved heart health.

01:05:03.700 You might even be reducing the risk for cancer.

01:05:28.840 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:05:36.380 Pat Gray is filling in for Stuart Gere again today, who is off to the Super Bowl to sit in one of those luxury boxes, I guess.

01:05:45.080 Way overpaid.

01:05:46.560 I think he's going to be right next to Taylor Swift.

01:05:49.220 Yeah.

01:05:49.580 Right.

01:05:49.900 Yeah.

01:05:50.060 Make it out.

01:05:51.120 Poor Lisa. 1.00

01:05:52.360 I know.

01:05:52.900 Lay at home.

01:05:53.440 I know.

01:05:54.020 It's just wrong.

01:05:54.820 It's just wrong.

01:05:55.560 It is wrong.

01:05:56.100 But anyway, and the way he has just abandoned his Eagles because of Taylor Swift is a lot, right?

01:06:06.100 It does.

01:06:06.560 It says a lot.

01:06:07.700 I'm not sure which is worse, abandoning the Eagles or Lisa.

01:06:11.340 I think Lisa, but they are pretty bad.

01:06:14.200 You know what I mean?

01:06:14.880 Long time.

01:06:15.700 I mean, he's been loyal to the Eagles longer than loyal to Lisa.

01:06:18.660 Yes, he has.

01:06:19.540 So anyway, and the Eagles aren't buying purses.

01:06:24.380 True.

01:06:24.540 True.

01:06:24.840 Yeah.

01:06:25.140 Well, that's what Stu said.

01:06:26.700 That's what Stu said.

01:06:27.800 And I would respond in his defense, but I don't see a defense.

01:06:32.380 But anyway, let's move on from this personal information about Stu.

01:06:37.460 You guys do this to me, too, don't you?

01:06:39.500 What I've got.

01:06:40.040 Every time.

01:06:43.600 All right.

01:06:44.180 So the Republicans have decided that because I guess Dick Durbin, I don't know how this has happened because don't we have the majority on the committee?

01:06:56.780 I thought we did.

01:06:57.320 Yeah.

01:06:57.460 So the committee was supposed to have a vote to get Kash Patel out of committee today.

01:07:05.380 Now they're saying it's going to happen next Thursday because Dick Durbin wants a second stab, probably literally, at Kash Patel.

01:07:15.320 Well, that is absolutely insane.

01:07:19.740 Insane.

01:07:20.640 It is.

01:07:21.160 The reason why I think this is happening is because, yeah, Pam Bondi. 0.88

01:07:28.500 She's not screwing around.

01:07:30.580 You need to have the FBI.

01:07:33.200 They've lost all of their radical funding from USAID.

01:07:38.940 They're going to lose all of the.

01:07:40.940 Can you imagine how much corruption is in Medicare, Medicaid?

01:07:44.060 Can you imagine?

01:07:45.800 That's the next thing Doge is taking on.

01:07:48.660 Imagine the waste and the corruption in that.

01:07:54.520 So you just can't have the FBI as part of this.

01:08:00.720 You can't have a pit bull in there.

01:08:02.840 I think that's their thinking.

01:08:05.140 One caveat.

01:08:06.580 I think the most important thing they don't want to happen is Kash Patel getting in and releasing.

01:08:14.060 Jeffrey Epstein files.

01:08:15.600 Yep.

01:08:16.280 Yeah.

01:08:16.660 I think that's a big part of it.

01:08:18.300 Who knows who on that committee is part of that?

01:08:21.720 Yeah.

01:08:21.880 Would it surprise you if somebody on that?

01:08:23.860 No, and it wouldn't surprise me.

01:08:26.260 It wouldn't surprise me if it was both Republicans and Democrats.

01:08:28.600 No, yeah.

01:08:29.580 Yeah.

01:08:29.920 I mean, I have no idea.

01:08:31.720 I have absolutely no idea.

01:08:33.480 But here's what I want.

01:08:35.200 I just want to know.

01:08:36.640 Yeah.

01:08:36.980 I just want the truth.

01:08:39.260 And I don't care if, honestly, if it were all Republicans.

01:08:43.080 I mean, I doubt that.

01:08:44.320 But if it was all Republicans, okay, let the chips fall where they may.

01:08:48.340 I want to know.

01:08:52.060 I, you know, honestly, this is kind of the P. Diddy thing.

01:08:55.680 Why isn't that?

01:08:57.240 Why?

01:08:57.820 Why isn't that case just busted wide open?

01:09:00.480 Right.

01:09:01.120 Why?

01:09:02.320 We, you know, the Pizzagate people, while they didn't, they weren't right about Pizzagate,

01:09:08.400 there was something in our psyche that was telling us our children are being abused by powerful people.

01:09:18.120 Because look what's happening.

01:09:19.540 The power people, you know, in Hollywood and the power people in Washington seem to be doing this.

01:09:25.680 The power people of the drug cartels is bringing it, bringing them in.

01:09:30.700 We've lost 300,000 children in the system, just gone.

01:09:35.680 What do you think is happening to those kids right now?

01:09:39.280 So there's something in us that said this is a real problem.

01:09:44.940 And until we lance that boil, until we know all of the details and we let the chips fall where they may,

01:09:52.540 we're never going to fix the country.

01:09:54.000 And it's been six years.

01:09:56.040 Epstein died in 2019.

01:09:57.700 2019, it's been going on six years now.

01:10:01.380 And we still don't know.

01:10:02.800 How is that possible?

01:10:04.660 Because there's too many important people.

01:10:06.460 Yeah.

01:10:07.320 I mean, you're going to see Bill Gates go down.

01:10:10.820 Almost certainly.

01:10:11.520 You're going to see Bill Clinton.

01:10:12.940 The way he's acting, I mean, I'd be really surprised if he's not deeply involved.

01:10:16.960 Oh my gosh.

01:10:18.640 I mean, what he's been saying the last couple of weeks.

01:10:21.780 Ah, wow.

01:10:23.180 Oh, you know, it was a big mistake to be around Epstein.

01:10:25.680 Yeah.

01:10:26.000 Yeah, I was having an affair.

01:10:27.280 I wasn't doing anything with the kids.

01:10:29.200 No, no.

01:10:29.960 Yeah, but I was having an affair.

01:10:31.480 And my wife was right.

01:10:32.960 That was the biggest mistake of my life, not listening to my wife and getting a divorce.

01:10:37.600 Was it, Bill?

01:10:39.440 Was it?

01:10:40.820 Yeah, I think we're going to find out some other bigger mistakes than that.

01:10:43.840 Oh my gosh.

01:10:45.240 Yeah.

01:10:45.500 And I can't wait.

01:10:47.300 You know, his first mistake, and a pretty big one too, was to steal all the tech that he did from IBM and Xerox.

01:10:54.940 He still hasn't paid for that.

01:10:59.560 But that's going to be fascinating when that list comes out.

01:11:04.680 And it's inevitable now and they know it.

01:11:06.980 I mean, Cash was on my show.

01:11:09.280 When was that, Sarah?

01:11:10.320 Last summer, maybe?

01:11:12.060 Maybe last spring?

01:11:13.780 He was sitting in my office.

01:11:15.220 And, you know, I'm going through, okay, so how does all this work and, you know, where's the corruption?

01:11:21.920 He laid the whole corruption out on a chalkboard for me.

01:11:25.840 And we made it into an episode.

01:11:27.900 And he's sitting on my couch and he's like, no, you've got to add that name and that name and here's what you have to go after.

01:11:32.600 And I said, so who has the Epstein stuff?

01:11:38.080 And he's like, I know right where it is.

01:11:39.980 It's in the hands of the director of the FBI.

01:11:44.040 Wow.

01:11:44.680 Now, my question is, do we still know it's there?

01:11:50.680 Yeah, that's a good question.

01:11:51.960 And I think we do because that would be a Trump person that is in there.

01:11:59.580 Even if Cash is not there, somebody is in charge of that vault.

01:12:03.700 I would have, you know, I would go into our nuclear silos and I'd get the two guys with the keys, you know, that can point a gun to each other and say, I want you to guard this safe because that's in there.

01:12:19.720 And if he starts to go bad, shoot him in the head.

01:12:23.920 If he goes bad, you shoot him in the head.

01:12:27.840 You know, I would want some fail safe on that because that is, you imagine how valuable that is in the wrong hands?

01:12:37.280 Huge.

01:12:38.240 Imagine the blackmail.

01:12:40.220 That's why all this stuff has to be exposed.

01:12:43.060 Even if nobody goes to jail, it has to be exposed because otherwise you're blackmailing.

01:12:47.440 You know, all these people are compromised.

01:12:50.020 You don't know who they are.

01:12:51.740 You don't know who might be compromising them.

01:12:55.260 You know, that's not good.

01:12:58.800 Yeah.

01:12:59.320 And, you know, Bill Gates, not even probably the most powerful.

01:13:02.980 I mean, you've got Bill Clinton, potentially, I would think.

01:13:06.520 Oh, yeah.

01:13:07.180 Who is with him multiple times.

01:13:08.840 Oh, yeah.

01:13:09.700 Like 20 trips overseas.

01:13:11.920 On the Lolita Express.

01:13:13.620 I mean, really, really not good.

01:13:17.260 So, there are some names that are on there that are pretty powerful.

01:13:22.160 So, you also have the FBI director in charge of all of the documents on the Biden family.

01:13:29.500 All of that is in that same safe.

01:13:32.780 I mean, and Cash Patel is going to drop all of it.

01:13:36.880 I mean, on day one, I believe you will see on day one, it will be breathtaking on what I mean.

01:13:45.780 I said to my staff, we have to be ready because I don't know how they're going to drop it.

01:13:53.580 I don't.

01:13:53.880 But we have to have a team that is on that thing.

01:13:56.840 Whenever he is confirmed on his first weekday, he's going to do something amazing and probably drop something big like the Christopher Wray stuff or most likely the Epstein stuff.

01:14:11.380 And he'll drop that and that's going to be earth shattering for a week that will be easily will be poured over.

01:14:21.960 And then just the names, you'll just be talking about names.

01:14:25.480 I can't believe that we are sitting at a time where I have been, I mean, Pat, you and I have talked about this forever.

01:14:40.440 By 2025, we may not be a country anymore.

01:14:43.840 We've talked about that for 30, 40 years.

01:14:46.640 You know, if this keeps going at this pace and continues to speed up like it was, we're done as a nation.

01:14:53.560 I can't believe we're sitting here and I'm as optimistic as I am that we're going to make it.

01:15:01.220 Yeah.

01:15:01.460 We're going to make it.

01:15:02.760 Yeah.

01:15:03.620 And it is the movement, the rapid movement of Donald Trump that's making it possible that we might survive this.

01:15:11.260 Yeah.

01:15:11.880 Because it is all the activity that he has done in the first 17 days that will save this country.

01:15:20.540 Like, yeah, he's got to codify it.

01:15:24.060 He's got to codify this stuff.

01:15:26.040 No question.

01:15:27.000 Otherwise, somebody else.

01:15:28.020 Throw legislation.

01:15:28.640 Yeah.

01:15:29.120 Yeah.

01:15:29.540 Otherwise, somebody's going to come in.

01:15:31.700 Change it all.

01:15:32.300 And change it all.

01:15:33.220 I mean, if we don't win again in 2028, if Republicans don't win, they'll just change it all again.

01:15:38.360 Whatever Democrat is elected next will reverse everything he's ever done.

01:15:44.000 And that's the problem with the executive orders.

01:15:48.020 So one of the things that Donald Trump did, I have to tell you, I don't understand.

01:15:52.280 I've read this story three or four times today.

01:15:54.360 I just don't understand it.

01:15:55.740 Um, but, uh, people who do know are saying, oh, no, no, no, this is, this is the mother of all bombs, uh, what he just did.

01:16:08.200 The Office of Personnel Management sent a memo out on Tuesday to the heads and acting heads of all federal departments and agencies recommending that every agency revoke the career reserved status for their chief information officers.

01:16:24.300 So the CIOs of every agency, by doing so, and by also opening the roles to general employees, the establishmentarians presently occupying the increasingly politicized roles can be easily canned and replaced by individuals willing to carry out the president's agenda.

01:16:45.280 Now, we know that kind of stuff was happening.

01:16:49.260 They were going to try to start changing, uh, the status of some roles, but they're going after the chief information officers, which I think one of the reasons why they're doing it is because, uh, you have, uh, tech and Elon Musk is under tech.

01:17:11.880 Uh, Barack Obama put this office into the White House that if we can improve our government efficiency, uh, through the use of digital technology, it should be done.

01:17:24.560 And so that's, that's where he's working.

01:17:28.620 And so he, when people say he doesn't have the right to do it, yeah, he does.

01:17:32.820 Yeah, he does.

01:17:33.840 But the chief information officer is the tech officer.

01:17:37.680 And so I don't know exactly why, uh, this is such a big deal.

01:17:42.280 We're going to explain it.

01:17:43.500 I've got somebody who actually knows they're going to explain it to me and to you, uh, here in, uh, just a second.

01:17:48.900 The, the other thing that has happened in the last 24 hours is they're fighting back now on, uh, the Medicare, Medicaid, all of the information that everybody has, uh, on, on health.

01:18:06.740 And there, the reason why now the unions are pushing back on saying that Elon Musk can't have any access to social security numbers.

01:18:20.700 He can't have access to any names, anything, not their health records.

01:18:24.820 They don't want him to have the social security number.

01:18:29.240 Why?

01:18:31.840 I think it's because they're going to find out exactly how much these people with social security numbers are reporting to the IRS.

01:18:43.500 If you aren't going to work and you're being paid full time, are you making more than you were, uh, you know, when you were working here in the building, that's fraud.

01:18:58.940 You're working for us full time.

01:19:01.260 Um, I think they, I think these, these guys are so brilliant.

01:19:05.460 Yeah.

01:19:05.680 I mean, I've been, I've been saying this for a while.

01:19:09.040 The left has been so genius at what they're doing.

01:19:12.080 It's, it's admirable.

01:19:13.540 I mean, you have to, you have to admire it.

01:19:16.200 Okay.

01:19:16.620 It's evil, but it's, it's, you have to look back and go, that was expertly done and brilliant.

01:19:23.880 Yeah.

01:19:24.000 Uh, we've caught up to them.

01:19:27.840 We've caught up to them.

01:19:28.960 And I think what's playing out is absolutely brilliant.

01:19:32.480 And this is only phase one kids.

01:19:35.400 This is phase one.

01:19:37.040 All right.

01:19:37.540 Back in just a second.

01:19:38.740 When you walk through your front door at the end of the day, do you breathe a sigh of relief?

01:19:42.520 It is, is it great to be back into your castle, the place where you feel the most comfortable?

01:19:48.060 That's the way it should be.

01:19:49.900 You know, you work.

01:19:52.860 Nine to five.

01:19:54.000 But five to nine, 5 PM to 9 AM should be, you know, when you're at your house, that should

01:20:00.140 be when your family is there, you're making memories.

01:20:03.280 It is the most comfortable you can be.

01:20:05.600 It's why I walk in and put comfy clothes on all the time.

01:20:58.500 This is Glenn Beck.

01:21:03.680 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:21:22.120 I need to make an important correction.

01:21:25.000 Uh, last hour I was talking about KCBS, uh, and, um, and, and the trouble that they are

01:21:32.480 in though with, um, Odyssey.

01:21:35.580 And I said, uh, that it was Cumulus, the owner, the ownership, and it wasn't, it was Odyssey.

01:21:43.120 And I was talking about the George Soros owned Odyssey.

01:21:46.520 So my apologies to Cumulus.

01:21:48.760 They're all like, Hey, don't blame us for that.

01:21:50.400 We don't have anything to do with the dark Lord.

01:21:52.280 Um, but, uh, I, I think the FCC is going to go after Odyssey and, and these stations.

01:22:00.680 I mean, cause that was, they didn't go through the process to get right, but confirmed also

01:22:06.420 what, what stations are doing, what KCBS, I think KCBS could lose its license for what

01:22:13.840 it did.

01:22:14.440 Uh, and what it did was in a news report say, Hey, ice is in this area.

01:22:21.580 And they're in unmarked cars, you know, it's a black van and a sedan, a Ford sedan or whatever

01:22:29.600 it was that's putting lives in danger.

01:22:33.780 Uh, but they did it anyway.

01:22:36.880 Uh, I think that probably is a violation of FCC rules and regs.

01:22:43.280 This is Glenn Beck.

01:22:45.800 We have Chris Bedford on, uh, you know, I have the feeling the, the stupid GOP in the

01:22:51.560 house and the Senate are going to screw things up, but we'll talk to Chris about that in

01:22:55.200 so much more in a second.

01:22:56.300 Let me tell you about Jace medical in the past.

01:22:58.100 I've talked a lot about Jace medical.

01:23:15.620 easy.

01:24:50.160 making unprecedented moves i've never seen anything quite like it uh what elon musk uh is

01:24:57.380 doing you know is freaking the democrats out which i'm happy for but what did you expect him to do

01:25:03.380 that he's doing exactly what the president said he was going to do on the campaign trail for the

01:25:09.360 last like four months he's doing it uh you know some people make promises and actually keep them

01:25:15.280 we're going to talk about one of the crucial moves that uh they made i think on tuesday

01:25:21.520 to make the president actually in control of the executive branch i don't understand it

01:25:29.500 uh but i know somebody who does understand it chris brett bedford he is our uh washington dc

01:25:35.660 correspondent at the blaze he's all up on this and i also want to talk to him a little bit about

01:25:39.940 what are the republicans doing why have they delayed uh cash patel's uh vote

01:25:46.940 in committee that was supposed to come out i think today and then they could vote in the senate

01:25:52.440 but now it looks like they're not gonna they're gonna keep it in committee until next thursday why

01:25:57.040 what is going on these people i'm telling you the gop you are so stupid if you can't hear 0.98

01:26:03.300 the will of the people at this point and how much we are loving everything that donald trump is

01:27:39.620 editor for politics and blaze media washington correspondent chris have you seen anything

01:27:45.980 like what has been happening the last 17 days never never and i never expected to and no one i know

01:27:53.920 here in washington ever expected to there's a lot of people who've been here a long time

01:27:57.980 and you know i was listening in your introduction you're talking about well donald trump said he was

01:28:02.880 going to do this but i've been in dc now for over 20 years and a lot of people say they're going to do

01:28:07.760 a lot of things and it never happens i've i got to a point where i rolled my eyes and republicans

01:28:13.140 talked about the department of education yeah we're tackling usa id where i could go around and talk to

01:28:18.820 rooms of congressmen and senators and say why are you funding the universities why are you funding the

01:28:23.160 left-wing activist groups why don't you stop that and they just looked at me blankly yeah well it

01:28:27.900 seems too hard it seems too difficult this is a revolution going on a a soft peaceful revolution

01:28:34.640 the way the federal government works and it will have lasting impact yeah i i hope so i hope the

01:28:40.620 republicans don't screw it up what the hell is happening with cash patel in the in the committee 0.59

01:28:46.520 why is why didn't they vote on him today that's a whole lot of essentially niceties going on at the

01:28:53.660 beginning of this chuck rashley who i think is actually a good senator he's 92 and he's also

01:29:00.660 goes by the rules he's got his standards when they began the committee at the beginning of the congress

01:29:05.580 they should have gotten rid of some of these rules that haven't been useful for a long time and existed

01:29:09.880 from a period where democrats and republicans maybe came to bipartisan consensus one of them was the

01:29:15.180 ability to delay a hearing a single member on that committee can ask they wanted to look for more

01:29:20.040 information the problem for this is you know that these democrats are going to vote in line against

01:29:26.040 cash patel they're not looking for more information they're simply looking to to delay and to sink

01:29:31.700 anything they can dig up to scare republicans they're going to do republicans and democrats neither

01:29:37.560 side has been able to use this rule for years now to do anything other than delay it actually hasn't

01:29:42.340 changed any outcomes so far but it i tell you it does have some people nervous that they're going

01:29:48.100 to find something to cause some kind of weak need republicans to quibble a little bit but i still think

01:29:54.300 he's he's on lock right now to be confirmed in about two weeks i think so too why why did chuck

01:30:00.300 grassley do this i mean i mean you know they always play by the rules and i understand but this

01:30:08.940 isn't you know when you're using the rules as they're intended that's fine but when you have

01:30:15.040 uh a bullcrap reason for doing it and everyone knows this is just to delay why is he going along with

01:30:23.520 it you know a good illustration of kind of the way he's been a chairman is he's certainly from an

01:30:29.520 older time in the u.s senate of more bipartisan consensus which by the way i'll point out is also a

01:30:35.420 time republicans are more of a controlled opposition party the one that actually really

01:30:39.240 governed or played a hardball and it was wild to watch him during the brett kavanaugh hearings

01:30:43.740 because he was looking left and right and you could tell he was just kind of overwhelmed and amazed at

01:30:49.360 the viciousness of the attacks from democrats and how far they're willing to go it took him by surprise

01:30:55.120 and all dogs don't learn a whole lot of new tricks so he did he didn't walk he walked into this

01:31:00.740 committee process as thinking someone we're going to have mutual respect between the parties yeah

01:31:06.020 that's going to go by the way the rules were and not i think fully expecting just how vicious

01:31:11.220 democrats might get if he were to go back i suspect if he had to go back switch he would have gotten

01:31:16.760 rid of this rule at the time but it was an oversight um let me switch to uh doge and elon musk

01:31:22.620 the media is running a non-stop campaign against elon musk he is doing everything the president

01:31:32.140 campaigned with him on the campaign trail he would bring him out say this is the guy who's going to

01:31:38.160 go in and he's going to look at every budget he's going to with a team go and look at everything

01:31:42.440 he's doing it the right way um he's doing it through the office of digital what what is it the

01:31:51.840 what is the office that he's actually running it was set up by barack obama to if we can make

01:31:58.620 government more efficient by digitizing things we should that's this that's the the office he's

01:32:05.240 working out of um and the left is just losing their mind it's kind of wild i'm i'm writing about

01:32:15.160 it right now for tomorrow's beltway brief newsletter about i mean if you're on the capitol hill list

01:32:19.960 i used to have a house in capitol hill my wife was on the mom's list serves people are setting up

01:32:24.780 support groups for federal workers who may have their feelings hurt or may be looking at eight

01:32:29.920 months of paid salary if they resign people are trying to search around can we find a usa id flag

01:32:35.960 that i can fly in front of my house next to the rainbow flag never an american flag on capitol hill

01:32:40.300 the absolute panic gripping the city is incredible because republicans have never actually

01:32:46.220 done what they said they were going to do to actually tackle the deep state to actually

01:32:51.120 look at the bureaucracy i mean tonight is the deadline for federal employees to take the offer

01:32:58.180 that elon musk put out on behalf of the president to take a buyout until the summer in order to resign

01:33:04.520 so you get paid you get to look for another job you get to figure things out and people at first were

01:33:09.520 suspicious but the numbers keep on growing 10 000 20 000 people have taken it and i strongly suspect

01:33:15.000 that by the midnight deadline which they've announced they will not extend you're going to have an

01:33:19.620 absolute flurry of people who say i'm out of here i'm done i'm quitting you can't fire me

01:33:24.520 i uh i gotta tell you i i would be taking that i mean especially if i disagreed with donald trump

01:33:31.600 uh i'd get the hell out of town because you know especially in intel when when tulsi gabbard starts

01:33:39.240 to go through those 18 agencies you know you know things were done and things were done at usa id

01:33:46.800 that does the president know about this let's not ask any questions president doesn't need to know

01:33:52.120 um when it when it comes to these black ops you know there are people who are like i'm not taking the

01:33:57.880 fall for this excuse me i'm not taking the fall for this if if we get caught it's on your your head

01:34:05.160 not mine all those conversations that have happened over the last 20 30 40 years there all those

01:34:12.460 chickens are coming home to roost uh i'd get the hell out of there or i'd become a whistleblower

01:34:18.320 uh you've been talking about this uh you're in ever since i first saw you on tv decades ago about the

01:34:25.980 corruption and the interconnectedness between usa id department of state the federal grants that give

01:34:32.920 the lawsuits and the activist groups and this has been a real blessing finally for for elon musk to

01:34:39.160 pull it off and to see all these organizations and to have the these young and brilliant people who

01:34:45.580 spend their free time trying to use computers to read ancient scrolls are now focusing their attention

01:34:51.420 on what's going on in washington dc and the interconnectedness and how much of the american left

01:34:58.360 and the global left which has been so successful that they seemed impenetrable and indestructible

01:35:04.120 these last couple 20 years or so how much they're actually funded how they're how much it's how much

01:35:10.180 of it is fake how much of it comes out of the u.s taxpayer how much of it can't possibly stand up on its

01:35:15.460 own i know and i think that half of the freak out that we're seeing isn't just because of usa id which

01:35:21.180 is a huge spreader of this money but because of what they expect to be found after usa id as they dig

01:35:27.600 deeper as you get people like telsey gabbard exactly to your point so tell me you wrote a story today

01:35:33.220 um that i honestly i don't really understand about the um the cios of every agency can you tell me

01:35:41.740 you said this was absolutely critical and a very big deal i don't understand it can you explain it

01:35:47.680 talk down it is because so when you have the secretaries and the directors they come in and

01:35:52.760 they're appointed or they're confirmed by the senate or just sent in by the white house they

01:35:57.040 rely on a team and these departments and agencies one of the top people they rely on is the chief

01:36:02.200 information officer now that's someone that the left will always say oh they're they're non-political

01:36:07.540 they're non-political but non-political in dc is code for democrat this city is 95 democrat that is

01:36:14.240 all of them so non-political is just don't touch me i'm above the rules i defend the democrats now some of

01:36:20.760 these guys are actually in there doing yeaman's work but by and large if you're the new secretary

01:36:26.020 and you walk in and you say i want all the communications between my agency epa and these

01:36:31.840 outside environmental groups or i want to see what communications you had with the fbi in this subject

01:36:38.060 or i would like to see where all the projects are going i want an accounting for everything where is

01:36:43.080 the money going the chief information officer is the person who's going to get that to you

01:36:46.920 and when they're trying to move against you like they were in the first trump administration

01:36:51.840 that just ends up with leaks of the new york times it ends up with lawsuits it ends up with

01:36:57.360 different activist groups coming at you personal friends i know of mine some of which declined to

01:37:02.540 buy the insurance before going in ended up being sued for millions of dollars for decisions that they

01:37:07.360 made as executives to go after different kinds of wasteful spending that we're seeing go on right now

01:37:12.320 chief information officer can be someone who controls that but also they do a lot of cyber

01:37:17.140 security and protection of american data and american secrets in the modern world with the trump

01:37:22.660 administration they're looking at this and saying i can get an engineer from palantir i can get someone

01:37:28.800 from peter teal's world to come in here and do cyber security sure it's a pay cut but it's a couple

01:37:33.320 years as the chief information officer department of state epa any of these different groups that's a cool

01:37:39.200 thing on their resume it's an opportunity for them to serve and we're going to get top notch talent

01:37:44.140 that way so in every aspect american security and the ability to executive to actually know what's

01:37:49.400 going on in their own agency this is a crucial move even if it is a little in the weeds uh i thank you

01:37:55.360 for explaining that in a way i i can understand um the um the other thing that i i saw today was that

01:38:02.600 um they are freaking out about doge going into uh medicare medicaid um and looking into uh what

01:38:12.640 department is that uh health and human services yeah um and so going into there which is a big one

01:38:19.880 they're expecting to find all kinds of fraud in that um and the unions are starting to organize and

01:38:27.480 saying he can he can see raw numbers but he can't where he can't allow him to have any access to

01:38:35.580 uh you know names or social security numbers or anything else of any employee um and one of the

01:38:42.840 thoughts is that he is going to run those social security numbers and find out what you were paying

01:38:49.720 in taxes what you're making are you working from home on another job when you're supposed to be

01:38:55.260 working full-time have you heard that yes that's one of the things that's one of the the ways that

01:39:01.000 the administration has to fire people and with cause is having secondary work and taking different

01:39:07.900 taking money from outside sources while you're supposed to be a full-time federal employee

01:39:11.780 how many of these people are taking gigs with the gig economy how many of these people are taking

01:39:17.300 payments from some other side hustle it's kind of it's been really wild it's been a conversation

01:39:22.320 around school playgrounds and even to churches around dc between employees who for the first

01:39:28.540 time that they've been six-figure federal employees for years have to figure out who's going to watch

01:39:33.300 their kids during the day while they're at work the kind of thing that you and i had to figure out

01:39:37.520 when we went to work right on our big boy pants and went to a job and it shows you exactly that where

01:39:43.600 their priorities have been dc's outside markets on a nice day and outside bars and cafes are absolutely

01:39:51.400 packed with people hanging out with their friends quote-unquote working from home and you'll see it

01:39:56.260 over and over again and it's something that elon musk has railed against in his oh yeah and his

01:40:01.200 previous companies at uh his rocket ship company at tesla at twitter he comes in and says we're done

01:40:10.400 you're coming into the office it's essential for you to be here and this is going to be a

01:40:14.500 bathroom to get in there but it is one of the freak outs and it's it's one of the places you're

01:40:19.020 going to start to see they're so disorganized right now but start to see a flurry of lawsuits

01:40:23.560 from the unions from employees and from activist groups trying to stop everything they can so

01:40:29.260 progress this is kind of the opening strike and i expect progress too slow and grind down a little bit

01:40:36.200 but if he keeps on moving at this pace this frenetic pace he keeps on working weekends as he says

01:40:40.760 we're still going to make incredible progress i gotta tell you i i talked to uh homan last night 0.96

01:40:46.120 and i said you know how how far planned out or all of you guys and he said oh we're in phase one

01:40:53.580 in about four weeks phase two is coming and then we have three and four he said i'm not going to give

01:40:58.940 anything away but we're a long way from being done this is well planned out i don't think it's going

01:41:04.180 to slow down uh i imagine if the liberals could go back in time and just treat donald trump like a

01:41:10.420 normal republican instead of trying to put him in prison i think they would take that deal on a

01:41:15.560 heart and what they've created now is incredible uh-huh uh thank you so much christopher bedford he

01:41:21.320 is blaze media senior editor for politics blaze media washington correspondent uh and uh the crucial

01:41:28.040 step that president trump's administration is taking in an effort to make government more responsive

01:41:32.380 transparent efficient and accessible to the public is uh the story that is on blaze right now

01:41:38.340 i love the things that donald trump and his incoming administration are already doing for the country

01:41:48.700 president do all this in just a short span everybody's overwhelmed either in a good way or a bad way

01:41:55.280 and it's it's uh easy to feel good when things are going well but they're not always going to go
