00:02:34.360 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:40.600 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:43.780 We've got quite a program lined up for you today.

00:02:46.840 A lot of really good stuff that you need to know about.

00:02:51.020 And some scary stuff on the horizon that you just need to be aware of so it doesn't come as a shock to you.

00:02:56.820 Something that all conservatives really need to prepare for.

00:03:02.440 Let me first start with our message from our sponsor, Cozy Earth.

00:03:06.040 Imagine the nicest hotel you've ever stayed in.

00:03:09.900 If you've ever stayed in a really nice hotel or a really nice resort, when you walk into that room, I mean, it just feels great.

00:03:16.480 Right? It just feels like, oh, I can relax.

00:03:18.460 And that's the way your house should feel every night.

00:03:22.440 Comfortable, stylish, something that is just, you just want to put on comfy clothes and just be there with your family all night.

00:03:30.200 You know what I mean?

00:03:31.220 Cozy Earth believes you should be able to have that feeling every time you step foot into your own home.

00:04:21.460 Hello, Stu. How are you?

00:04:22.660 Just elevating my love right now.

00:04:24.960 Oh, wow. Thank you.

00:04:26.280 Thank you.

00:04:26.880 Thank you.

00:04:28.040 That's great.

00:04:28.900 Let's see.

00:04:29.400 There's a couple of things that have been going on.

00:04:31.880 The ex-Illinois House Speaker has been convicted on 10 corruption charges at trial that exposed the greed in Illinois from the Democrats.

00:04:43.060 It's Michael Madigan.

00:04:50.420 It's a beautiful pronunciation there.

00:04:52.140 I know.

00:04:52.920 I mean, seriously.

00:04:55.920 You hear me, and you're like, oh, I understand why he's in the Hall of Fame.

00:05:00.000 I get it.

00:05:00.800 That's just how low the standards are in this country.

00:05:05.020 Yeah.

00:05:05.420 Me.

00:05:06.040 The long-serving Illinois House Speaker, he was convicted on Wednesday on 10 federal charges after running an influence-peddling trial that exposed corruption and greed.

00:05:19.340 He stood there as the jury rendered a mixed verdict, which include deadlocking on overarching racketeering conspiracy.

00:05:29.280 You know, I told you yesterday, the number one thing, five times higher than any other place, the Google search in Washington, D.C., number one is legal defense attorney, criminal attorney.

00:05:47.920 Okay.

00:05:48.360 The next one is, what is RICO?

00:05:52.920 What does one have to do to be charged in a RICO case?

00:05:59.260 They should know they've been filing them against every Trump official for the past four years.

00:06:03.620 I know.

00:06:04.480 So a lot of people in Washington, D.C. are freaking out.

00:06:08.920 They're just freaking out.

00:06:10.160 And they should.

00:06:11.380 They should.

00:06:12.240 In every category, they should.

00:06:14.240 This makes me really happy.

00:06:16.320 And it makes me happy, too, that we're taking on the Pentagon.

00:06:19.400 You want to see where the real corruption is, the real waste is?

00:06:22.840 Pentagon, stop number one, ground floor, Pentagon.

00:06:30.260 We're going to find so much corruption there and so many missing funds.

00:06:35.300 Where did I put that trillion dollars?

00:06:37.360 It has been going this way for a very long time.

00:06:41.580 Ever since I was a kid, I heard about $700 toilet seats.

00:06:45.320 You know, back when $700 toilet seats were crazy.

00:06:49.420 Am I right?

00:06:50.440 Oh, my gosh.

00:06:52.820 Tulsi Gabbard was confirmed yesterday.

00:06:56.040 She is the 14th member of Donald Trump's cabinet to be confirmed.

00:07:00.840 She is now the director of national intelligence.

00:07:03.060 If you don't know what the DNI is, the DNI is the one stop that was created after 9-11.

00:07:12.400 Because, remember, the FBI had intelligence.

00:07:16.120 Everybody had an intelligence agency.

00:07:17.980 There's 18 of them.

00:07:19.220 And none of them were talking to each other.

00:07:21.880 And so the DNI was created to oversee all of them to make sure that all of the information is being shared.

00:07:29.440 So this is really even more critical than the CIA chief.

00:07:36.060 Because the CIA chief is in charge of the CIA, but the director of national intelligence is the watchdog agency over all of them.

00:07:49.180 So Tulsi Gabbard is going in, and she's going to tear that thing absolutely apart. 1.00

00:07:55.100 Yesterday, Doge canceled another 58 federal contracts.

00:07:59.920 I'm trying to see how much they saved us yesterday.

00:08:02.180 Well, just check the U.S. debt clock to see.

00:08:06.060 Trump kicked everybody off of the Kennedy Center board.

00:08:12.100 Do you know who was on the board of directors of the Kennedy Center?

00:08:16.900 Just think competence.

00:08:18.260 Just think, who's the most competent person in the last administration?

00:08:22.440 And I know that's a tough...

00:08:23.880 Corinne Jean-Pierre.

00:08:24.620 Yes!

00:08:25.280 Are you kidding me?

00:08:26.040 She was on the board at the Kennedy Center.

00:08:29.300 No way.

00:08:30.160 Yes.

00:08:31.360 Yes.

00:08:31.960 She can't even... 1.00

00:08:33.200 Oh, I know.

00:08:34.600 Read.

00:08:35.040 I...

00:08:35.600 I know.

00:08:38.520 And she was on the board of the Kennedy Center?

00:08:40.380 Board of the Kennedy Center.

00:08:41.560 So he fired all of them because the Kennedy Center is way in the red.

00:08:46.860 And quite honestly, I would really like it if the president would just put the Kennedy Center up for sale.

00:08:52.900 That should be private.

00:08:53.740 Why do we have a national theater like that?

00:08:57.580 What are we, Russia?

00:08:59.040 Why do we have that?

00:09:01.080 Amen.

00:09:01.760 I love this idea.

00:09:02.660 Yeah.

00:09:02.980 I performed at the Kennedy Center.

00:09:04.720 Remember that?

00:09:05.340 Mm-hmm.

00:09:06.020 And just that in and of itself means we should demolish the place.

00:09:11.700 So anyway...

00:09:12.700 But when I was at the Kennedy Center, remember they told us that was the first time the U.S. flag was ever displayed on stage?

00:09:22.580 Do you remember that?

00:09:23.060 That's healthy.

00:09:24.020 That's healthy for a country.

00:09:24.980 For a national theater, that's really good.

00:09:29.020 It's just out of control.

00:09:30.820 And so...

00:09:31.660 People like art, Glenn.

00:09:32.840 I don't necessarily like it, frankly.

00:09:35.840 Yes, you do. 1.00

00:09:36.320 I think a lot of it sucks. 1.00

00:09:37.200 Yes, you do. 0.99

00:09:38.160 You do like art.

00:09:39.160 Yes.

00:09:39.820 I mean, certain types of art.

00:09:41.640 You are a fan of the really, really sporty Cadillac.

00:09:47.600 Oh.

00:09:47.960 That's art.

00:09:49.040 Well, yeah, that kind of art, sure.

00:09:51.460 But that's...

00:09:51.660 It is art.

00:09:52.980 You have a designer that is looking to make it as appealing to the eye as possible.

00:09:57.640 Yes, you're right.

00:09:58.400 Okay, there are examples of art.

00:10:00.820 What I'm talking about, though, is, you know, theater, opera, musicals, you know, in that general vicinity.

00:10:08.660 And then, that's, you know, three avenues of art.

00:10:13.540 Everything should be looked at as art.

00:10:16.660 Believe it or not, what we do here is an art.

00:10:20.360 I mean, it's like, you know, I want to be in the circus. 0.99

00:10:23.160 Well, shovel the elephant crap. 0.99

00:10:24.740 You're in the circus. 0.99

00:10:25.580 Welcome to it.

00:10:26.240 Yes, but I'm in the circus.

00:10:28.880 You know, what we do here is art.

00:10:31.180 Everything.

00:10:32.160 The guy who laid my floors when we were remodeling our house, this guy was an artist.

00:10:37.780 Yes.

00:10:38.340 Yes.

00:10:40.380 It's a little too broad to say I don't like art.

00:10:42.920 I grant you this point.

00:10:44.600 But, like, when it comes to, you know, this type of art that goes on at the Kennedy Center, not necessarily my favorite type.

00:10:52.540 I'm not all that interested in it.

00:10:54.340 But, you know what?

00:10:54.840 Oh, I'm not interested in anything that comes out of the Kennedy Center.

00:10:57.720 Well, including what you were.

00:10:59.040 You were one of the things that came out of the Kennedy Center.

00:11:00.860 Yeah, I know.

00:11:01.460 And I was barely interested.

00:11:03.160 I was like, there's a show I wouldn't pay to see.

00:11:05.300 But, like, people do enjoy it.

00:11:09.220 Yeah.

00:11:09.480 Right?

00:11:09.940 Yeah.

00:11:10.100 And you see all over, you know, Dallas has a big theater, you know, district.

00:11:15.040 And it's been millions of dollars in private donations have gone to these places.

00:11:19.920 And that's the way it should be.

00:11:20.720 And that is the way it should be.

00:11:23.120 Government, if it has to spend on things other than, let's say, the common defense, which is what it should be spending on.

00:11:29.660 But if it has to, if it's going to spend on something, maybe you could find something that is culturally important that won't happen unless the government spends on it.

00:11:40.160 Right?

00:11:40.660 These things won't exist unless the government spends on it.

00:11:43.900 Give me an example.

00:11:44.980 I don't know.

00:11:45.760 I don't have one.

00:11:46.620 Yeah.

00:11:46.900 Okay?

00:11:47.340 But, like, at least you should target that.

00:11:49.420 You know what people do when they're, like, on a Friday night and they want to go?

00:11:54.000 They go paint.

00:11:55.640 People buy paintings because they want them in their house.

00:11:58.000 There is a private market for painters.

00:12:00.560 It might not be as large as you want it to be.

00:12:04.060 It might not be, well, why people are spending more money on Dave and Buster's than these paintings.

00:12:09.340 So the government needs to take over and fund all of these painters and opera singers and all that.

00:12:16.860 No, they don't.

00:12:18.660 The bottom line is we shouldn't be involved in the arts at all as a government.

00:12:23.160 That is not the correct scope of the federal government, to be involved in funding.

00:12:30.980 Would you include art classes in schools?

00:12:35.100 I mean, I don't.

00:12:35.940 Of course, I'm before private education.

00:12:38.320 Yeah.

00:12:38.560 I don't like the government schools idea at all.

00:12:41.620 Right.

00:12:41.820 I know that.

00:12:42.500 But, you know, I mean, you want to.

00:12:44.460 I mean, even locally, your tax dollars are going to school.

00:12:48.360 Is art a part of the education?

00:12:50.300 I mean, just in a similar fashion that other subjects are, right?

00:12:54.320 Like, I think it's part of a well-rounded education for a child.

00:12:56.980 Good, good, good.

00:12:57.360 I'm fine with that.

00:12:57.860 I'm with you.

00:12:58.380 I don't think that the government should not be involved in any of this stuff.

00:13:02.500 Yeah.

00:13:02.740 In any of it.

00:13:03.460 Once you become an adult, if you want to do this for your job, you need to provide a service that somebody likes.

00:13:10.580 Right?

00:13:11.080 I'm sorry.

00:13:12.100 I know this is asking a lot.

00:13:13.880 But this is what it used to be.

00:13:16.900 Right.

00:13:17.300 I mean, I know I'm an old-timey kind of, you know, let me talk to you about country time lemonade here.

00:13:23.620 But when I was growing up, my grandparents, my dad, my mom, not so much my grandparents, but my mom and dad were very supportive of me wanting to go into radio.

00:13:36.640 My grandfather thought I was out of my mind.

00:13:38.840 You're not, what do you do?

00:13:40.100 What?

00:13:40.460 That's not a job.

00:13:41.860 It actually is, Grandpa, if you're really good at it.

00:13:45.660 But all of them said the same thing to me.

00:13:48.380 Or you.

00:13:56.520 I got to tell you, I just, I love you so much.

00:14:01.040 It seems sincere.

00:14:01.660 It'll be hard to fire you today.

00:14:03.280 But anyway, so they all said to me the same thing.

00:14:09.240 You have to have a backup because it rarely works.

00:14:13.920 Right.

00:14:14.040 It rarely works.

00:14:14.880 I would have never thought the government should support me.

00:14:18.080 Did you hear the girl who is on food stamps and everything else and is driving a 2025, or sorry, 2024 BMW?

00:14:28.780 And she's like a 20-something. 0.99

00:14:31.580 And when somebody reported that she had a brand new BMW, she went online and said, I can't believe you, what, in America, you can't have a nice car?

00:14:43.980 No, not if we're supporting you.

00:14:45.840 Right.

00:14:46.280 There's nothing wrong with a nice car.

00:14:47.460 There's nothing wrong with being an opera singer.

00:14:48.800 Right.

00:14:49.160 But that doesn't mean we pay for it.

00:14:50.600 Yes.

00:14:51.760 Yes.

00:14:51.980 There might only be a market for 12 total opera singers in the world.

00:14:56.800 I don't know.

00:14:57.780 You think it's that high?

00:14:58.780 I don't know.

00:14:59.920 It could be less.

00:15:00.880 And I think if you're in Vienna.

00:15:03.280 There might be a big market for it.

00:15:04.660 Right.

00:15:04.860 And there might be a case for that country to say, you know what, we were built on this kind of, you know, art.

00:15:11.600 We should fund the art.

00:15:13.240 That's up to Vienna.

00:15:14.320 But not for us.

00:15:16.200 Right.

00:15:16.640 Like, especially since there's so few people that like the opera.

00:15:21.140 Right.

00:15:21.980 It might just be, Glenn, that if you want to be an opera singer, your lot in life is you go and have a normal job and then sing opera on the side.

00:15:32.300 Yes.

00:15:32.460 A lot of people do that with painting.

00:15:33.680 They do that with musicians do this all the time.

00:15:35.700 Lots of musicians are stuck in this situation.

00:15:37.860 By the way, you know what else a lot of people do?

00:15:40.460 Podcasting.

00:15:41.220 A lot of people can't do podcasting and actually earn money.

00:15:43.920 But they do it anyway because they enjoy it or they want to try to make money.

00:15:49.060 They want to try to grow it into something.

00:15:51.400 That doesn't mean the government should step in and say, well, there's this this person who has 14 people streaming their podcast.

00:15:56.900 We have to give them money because of, quote, art, end quote.

00:16:00.680 No.

00:16:01.660 No.

00:16:01.900 Do something of value to other people.

00:16:04.780 And if you can't come up with that, sorry, not our role, not my job as a taxpayer to fund your opera.

00:16:11.900 No. 0.68

00:16:12.400 If you want to come up with a single-legged transgender nun opera, that's on you. 1.00

00:16:19.500 Yeah. 0.93

00:16:19.760 Go for it.

00:16:20.280 And maybe people will show up.

00:16:21.500 But I'm not paying for it, by the way, particularly in other countries, which is what we were actually doing.

00:16:25.640 Right.

00:16:25.800 And I'm also not interested in, you know, Second Amendment stuff I'm absolutely for.

00:16:33.120 You need, wait, you need a government grant to make guns?

00:16:40.100 You're the wrong guy to make guns.

00:16:41.480 Yeah.

00:16:42.000 But people like them.

00:16:42.900 People like guns.

00:16:43.540 They buy them all the time.

00:16:44.200 They buy them all the time.

00:16:44.820 It's a good business for a lot of people.

00:16:45.980 Nope.

00:16:46.540 So no.

00:16:47.020 I don't want them involved in anything I absolutely love.

00:16:50.780 And I love art.

00:16:51.920 I love art.

00:16:52.920 You do.

00:16:53.320 Look at how you're good at it.

00:16:55.360 But would you want a government grant to be funding your paintings?

00:17:01.660 Wait, can I get some of my tax dollars back?

00:17:04.000 You have to ask the guy in the question marks.

00:17:05.720 Yeah, right.

00:17:06.620 How do I get it?

00:17:07.460 No, I don't.

00:17:09.400 I don't.

00:17:10.260 I mean, you're living and sponging off of other people.

00:17:14.780 You know, part of the deal is with art, and artists don't like this, but that's the deal.

00:17:22.460 I want to do something else.

00:17:24.620 You know, I want to paint my way.

00:17:26.780 Okay, well, paint your way.

00:17:28.400 Who knows?

00:17:29.280 It might be big.

00:17:31.000 It might not be.

00:17:32.380 But all of the masters, except for, you know, Rembrandt and Michelangelo and Leonardo, most of the artists were starving.

00:17:42.540 Oh, so you want starving art?

00:17:45.560 No, I don't want it.

00:17:46.920 I just, if that's what you are really compelled to do, and you want to do something different, then do it.

00:17:54.280 Do it.

00:17:55.220 But I'm not going to pay for your passion on doing something that nobody wants to consume at this time.

00:18:03.860 People are going to pay, well, not you, but somebody an awful lot of money for your paintings if you happen to be one of those guys that was just ahead of their time.

00:18:13.180 He said, guys, he didn't even include women.

00:18:15.520 Oh, I've just gotten started.

00:18:16.800 Hang on.

00:18:17.420 Let me tell you about Jace Medical.

00:18:35.280 And you've got to find a doctor.

00:18:37.660 You have to have them call something into the pharmacy.

00:18:40.860 Then you have to go searching for an open pharmacy, usually at night.

00:18:59.960 I know.

00:19:00.440 I have to.

00:19:01.340 I don't have this Jace case.

00:19:03.040 I don't have a Jace Go.

00:19:12.880 These kinds of things happen, and it's best to prepare.

00:19:16.780 Then don't worry about it.

00:19:46.100 So Trump is coming out swinging, I think, as he goes into these agencies and sees the

00:19:57.260 level of corruption.

00:19:59.340 I mean, people don't understand.

00:20:00.920 These NGOs, 90% of them are from the left.

00:20:06.460 90% of them are giving, for instance, all these NGOs that got all this money from USAID,

00:20:12.320 most of them were started up to help facilitate the border crisis.

00:20:20.000 These were all left-leaning organizations that the government just happened to find.

00:20:26.140 How did they find all these NGOs?

00:20:28.520 Because it's all the same circle.

00:20:31.000 And they were sending the money there.

00:20:33.580 How they were used.

00:20:35.220 Who got what money.

00:20:36.520 Were there any kickbacks?

00:20:37.680 That's all being exposed now.

00:20:40.120 Donald Trump is seeing this, and he's becoming more and more bold.

00:20:44.160 He said yesterday, quote, I want the con job of the education department closed immediately.

00:20:53.280 Wow.

00:20:54.580 He said, as soon as possible, but I'd like it to be closed immediately.

00:21:00.180 It's a giant con job.

00:21:03.160 You know, we're 40th in the world, being ranked number one for cost per pupil.

00:21:06.720 He said, send it back to Iowa and Idaho and Colorado.

00:21:11.620 It's the state's responsibility, not ours.

00:21:17.240 And I think that's great.

00:21:20.220 It's amazing to me how California wants the federal government to take care of their education.

00:21:26.620 But when it comes to the border, the federal government has nothing to say here.

00:21:31.760 How dare the federal government tell us how to run our border?

00:21:34.500 Well, the border is constitutionally defined as a federal operation.

00:21:43.620 And we have been saying that should go back to the states if the federal government isn't going to fulfill its constitutional duty.

00:21:51.140 But that is a enumerated power of the federal government.

00:21:56.120 Now they're saying, no, the federal government, they argued that the states don't have the right to, you know, Texas didn't have a right to protect its own border.

00:22:05.380 OK, but now California is arguing, no, no, no, federal government has doesn't have a right to tell us what to do with the border and immigration.

00:22:15.440 Wait, you can't have it both ways.

00:22:17.580 And so now he's going in the next.

00:22:20.640 I mean, they filed, what, two days ago, four days ago in Chicago, going after the city of Chicago for their obstruction of ICE and Department of Homeland Security.

00:22:34.300 Now he's going after Letitia James, Hochul, the governor, the governor of of New York.

00:22:44.800 And everyone is saying this is because they went after him.

00:22:47.980 No, this is because they're out of control.

00:22:50.280 He also went after the head of the DNs, the DMV, because the DMV is breaking the law.

00:22:56.760 And Pam Bondi saw it and she said, you know what, if you are if you are trying to thwart the United States government on immigration, it's our constitutional duty.

00:23:09.220 And we're coming for you.

00:23:10.800 California, you'll be next.

00:23:12.360 This is Glenn Beck.

00:23:15.620 NMLS 182334 NMLSConsumerAccess.org

00:23:18.780 APR for Rates in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.

00:23:22.620 Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

00:23:26.180 Okay, the formula to success.

00:23:28.580 Identify the goal.

00:23:30.160 Make sure that goal is helping people, okay?

00:23:33.140 When you make a plan that outlines the steps to achieve that goal, that's number two, then you go out and you do it.

00:23:41.340 I mean, it's maybe a little more complicated than that, but you get the basic idea.

00:23:45.860 So let's say you're a homeowner.

00:23:47.300 You've identified your goal.

00:23:48.780 You want to get out of debt in the fastest and best way you can.

00:23:52.460 Great goal.

00:23:53.880 One that all of us should have.

00:23:55.640 But now make a plan.

00:23:57.300 How do you do that?

00:23:58.600 May I suggest you call American Financing today?

00:24:01.660 Last year, their salary-based mortgage consultants helped customers in this audience save an average of just over $800 a month.

00:24:09.620 Imagine giving yourself a $10,000 raise.

00:24:12.740 You could start today.

00:24:14.160 You might even be able to delay up to two mortgage payments that can help you get even further ahead.

00:24:19.840 But don't take my word for it.

00:24:21.080 Do your own homework.

00:24:22.040 Go to AmericanFinancing.net or call them at 800-906-2440.

00:24:27.560 800-906-2440.

00:24:30.300 AmericanFinancing.net.

00:24:31.480 And it's BlazeTV.com slash Glenn.

00:24:34.720 Use the code Glenn and save $20.

00:24:37.320 There is a great thread from Matt Smith that I retweeted last night.

00:25:02.020 And it's about the dollar and our economy and everyone needs to read this.

00:25:10.540 What the average person is going to be talking about is my groceries are going up.

00:25:15.000 And, yes, they are.

00:25:17.500 That's not anything from this administration.

00:25:20.140 That is from all of the lies that the media was telling you that things were strong and it's getting better and yada yada.

00:25:27.040 No, it's not. 0.99

00:25:28.160 Those numbers and all of that stuff were garbage. 0.99

00:25:32.280 And it's not getting better yet. 1.00

00:25:35.300 And Donald Trump is cutting, cutting, cutting.

00:25:38.640 But we also need to cut regulations.

00:25:41.540 We need to get business back on its feet.

00:25:45.360 These two things have to happen in a coordinated fashion.

00:25:49.100 Otherwise, you're going to gut the spending.

00:25:52.280 Because, remember, most of our GDP, a lot of our GDP is coming from the government.

00:25:57.360 They're spending all of this money.

00:25:59.320 You're not spending money.

00:26:00.480 They're spending money.

00:26:01.720 That's keeping the government's GDP.

00:26:03.920 So if you cut, our GDP goes down, which means all kinds of numbers start to fluctuate from interest rates and everything else.

00:26:15.000 So we want a growing GDP, which means we have to grow real wealth.

00:26:22.040 We have to grow real business, not NGOs.

00:26:25.640 And the one guy that I think can do it is Donald Trump.

00:26:31.320 But there's a tweet that caught my eye yesterday because it starts with gold.

00:26:36.640 And I've been following the comics.

00:26:38.960 There's something going on with gold and nobody really knows what it is. 0.74

00:26:42.900 Somebody here in the United States is buying a crap load of gold.

00:26:47.760 We think, I hope, it's the Treasury or the Central Bank, the Fed. 0.51

00:26:55.500 But somebody is taking huge physical deliveries and it's causing shortages in London where they buy and sell gold.

00:27:05.920 There are shortages now of gold because somebody is buying it and shipping it here.

00:27:12.480 Somebody with very deep pockets.

00:27:14.360 Okay, so why?

00:27:17.000 Now, this is all theory.

00:27:18.080 That's fact.

00:27:19.260 Here's the theory of what's going on.

00:27:21.600 They're preparing for a full-on gold audit.

00:27:24.440 We talked about this yesterday.

00:27:26.400 The government right now claims on its balance sheet as an asset all of this gold and it's valued at $45 an ounce.

00:27:37.440 In case you haven't heard, it's $2,900 an ounce.

00:27:41.460 So, they're talking now about boosting the price of gold, at least market to market, but maybe even making it $5,000 an ounce.

00:27:52.600 Okay?

00:27:53.020 If that happens, the balance sheet starts to fall into line and our debt to GDP is not as bad as it really is right now.

00:28:02.960 Okay?

00:28:03.260 Just start claiming the truth about gold and our balance sheet starts to come into line.

00:28:10.680 Start taking our minerals, start taking our oil and claiming those as assets and putting those on the balance sheet, which we can do.

00:28:20.020 And it's not a bad idea unless, you know, we lose in the end because then we lose all of our assets, our natural assets.

00:28:28.620 You put those on the balance sheet.

00:28:30.340 This helps strengthen the United States because we're coming to a place where we're not going to be able to finance the debt.

00:28:38.680 Who wants to write the United States a new long-term loan at less than really market value?

00:28:49.860 And market value, I mean, you know, if you walked into a bank and you had the credit report that the United States of America has,

00:28:58.400 what do you think the bank is going to charge you in interest?

00:29:00.680 First, you're a risk.

00:29:02.520 You just are addicted to spending. 1.00

00:29:04.480 You're doing ridiculous things. 0.99

00:29:06.900 I'm sorry.

00:29:08.280 Now, they might write you a check if you have all of this stuff on your balance sheet, okay?

00:29:14.400 And that's why they're doing it.

00:29:16.440 They're trying to reshore up our balance sheet, make ourselves healthier than we are because we're at the end of the dollar.

00:29:26.440 We're at the end of this financial system.

00:29:29.920 So this is an end game.

00:29:34.800 It's why tariffs are being, you know, brought in.

00:29:39.580 It's to force others to start to see the sorry situation they're in.

00:29:49.000 I mean, Europe, if this deal with Ukraine goes through, which, by the way, yesterday had a great, a perfect phone call with Putin, and it did go really, really well.

00:30:02.700 And Donald Trump is saying, yeah, you know, we might have to have the resources from you.

00:30:09.860 We might, we want your rare earth minerals because of what we've already given you.

00:30:13.460 We want that in exchange.

00:30:14.640 He's doing that as a negotiating tactic with everybody.

00:30:21.200 And he's putting on notice, the European Union, we're not in this anymore.

00:30:26.680 This is your problem.

00:30:27.980 We leave.

00:30:28.860 We're not rebuilding Ukraine.

00:30:30.840 You have to do it.

00:30:31.940 And you're going to have to protect it.

00:30:34.120 And we're not going to guarantee its protection.

00:30:36.880 So if you want it protected, you do it.

00:30:38.580 They're talking $3 trillion to be able to rebuild and protect.

00:30:45.960 Europe can't handle that.

00:30:47.960 But you know what, Europe?

00:30:49.560 Neither can we.

00:30:50.800 So he's putting everybody in the same situation.

00:30:55.440 And this is going to cause inflation to rise.

00:30:59.860 It's going to.

00:31:01.400 It will punish the average person because of tariffs and everything else. 0.98

00:31:05.280 If they're not done exactly right, it'll punish with higher prices.

00:31:12.280 However, he's betting that wages will also rise because he's forcing people to keep their profits here and make jobs here.

00:31:24.340 If everything goes right, what the trade on gold is showing us is that we may be going towards a gold-backed financial system

00:31:39.460 or a gold-backed currency of some sort, the Fed could even be shut down.

00:31:45.200 There is something big in the wind, and nobody knows what it is for sure.

00:31:52.640 So if what do you do as a regular person?

00:31:56.760 You need to understand that the dollar could be by design being collapsed.

00:32:02.800 That's exactly what the Biden administration was doing, collapsing the dollar.

00:32:07.380 But they didn't have a plan to replace it other than a digital dollar and global slavery.

00:32:14.580 I'm not sure what the plan is here, but it seems much more American-centric, good for America, and eventually good for the rest of the world.

00:32:24.960 And it doesn't look like it is taking freedom away from people, but we have to watch it.

00:32:31.780 And the situation with the economy is really dire.

00:32:37.900 That hasn't gone away.

00:32:39.820 What we have is one of the best mechanics who have hired the rest of the best mechanics to come in, put up the hood, and say,

00:32:50.700 we want to save this engine, how do we do it?

00:32:55.880 And they're applying that.

00:32:57.620 We don't know what direction, but a huge sign that something big is coming is the amount of gold that is being purchased.

00:33:07.780 And the key here that you have to understand, shortages in London, gold flowing into the U.S. at record levels, somebody with deep pockets, this is what Matt Smith, is scooping up gold.

00:33:22.160 They're reshoring gold that might have been leased out.

00:33:27.180 What does that mean?

00:33:28.300 That the United States is buying all this gold.

00:33:32.960 Why?

00:33:34.240 Because they're reshoring the gold that might have been leased out.

00:33:40.120 That's rehypothecation.

00:33:42.980 That's just the word away from the word that I said.

00:33:47.820 If you see rehypothecation begin to be bantered around, look out.

00:33:53.300 What rehypothecation is, is we've taken one asset and we've counted it on several different accounting books.

00:34:04.380 So we counted it the United States, but also we've leased this gold out to Germany.

00:34:10.720 So Germany could get more money based on their gold.

00:34:14.140 But their gold is our gold.

00:34:16.020 And our gold is England's gold.

00:34:18.280 So that's how dire this is, is we're beginning to enter the world of rehypothecation, which means no one owns anything because your house, you say, well, I got my loan through Citibank.

00:34:37.540 But Citibank has used rehypothecation to put that on their balance sheet as that's their house.

00:34:49.520 But they sold it in a package to eight different banks, and they're all counting that house, yours, as an asset.

00:34:58.780 So when they all start to go down, they all say, well, we've got all of these assets.

00:35:03.860 Well, no, you don't.

00:35:04.460 Which one of you has the 100%?

00:35:07.980 You're all claiming 100% of, you know, Bob Smith's house.

00:35:12.620 Which one actually has it?

00:35:15.280 Well, they all do.

00:35:16.920 This is such a Ponzi scheme where, you know what this is?

00:35:21.100 This is a story of the producers.

00:35:22.920 Do you ever see the movie or the stage show, Mel Brooks, The Producers?

00:35:27.380 Why did they get into trouble?

00:35:29.280 Because they were selling over 100% of the play.

00:35:32.900 They kept selling the play.

00:35:35.300 You get 100%.

00:35:36.300 You get 100%.

00:35:37.300 You get 100%.

00:35:38.440 All thinking that it's not, that that particular show wouldn't make any money.

00:35:45.520 It won't be a success.

00:35:46.960 It's the worst play ever.

00:35:48.340 So it will close.

00:35:49.260 And nobody's going to audit and say, wait a minute, you sold 100%.

00:35:54.220 Nobody's going to ask.

00:35:55.300 They just want to get away from it.

00:35:56.580 They lost their money.

00:35:57.440 It closed.

00:35:58.220 But if it's a success, they now have to pay 100% of the proceeds to 14 different people.

00:36:07.040 It's a scam.

00:36:08.000 That's what's happened here.

00:36:10.780 They have sold 100% of your house, or in this case, the gold, to several different people.

00:36:22.540 When everybody says, I'm in trouble, I want my money back, I need my gold.

00:36:27.720 Trouble.

00:36:29.220 Trouble.

00:36:29.620 I mean, it just seems like the type of thing that it's almost impossible to unwind, right?

00:36:39.060 If it's that deep, how do you unwind it?

00:36:41.220 Or do you just protect yourself and your family?

00:36:43.900 For you, you make sure that if your house is paid for, if you have anything paid for, you have the title.

00:36:52.460 You know where the title is.

00:36:54.000 You have the title.

00:36:55.000 So, you're not in as bad of shape if you own things.

00:37:01.840 You own your car.

00:37:02.820 Good.

00:37:03.300 Have the title.

00:37:04.980 You own your house.

00:37:05.940 Good.

00:37:06.380 Have the title.

00:37:08.080 It's really good if you're buying a house to make sure that that loan is staying local.

00:37:14.520 That they're not reselling that loan.

00:37:17.760 That it's staying with one bank.

00:37:19.920 And it's not being sold in, you know, what were those called?

00:37:24.640 Credit default swaps?

00:37:26.540 I remember those things.

00:37:27.880 Yeah.

00:37:28.100 Okay.

00:37:28.580 Yeah.

00:37:29.080 That it's not being sold like that because that's what causes the problem.

00:37:34.920 And so, you just need assets.

00:37:39.380 You need real assets.

00:37:40.900 If you can buy gold, you should buy gold.

00:37:43.360 Especially if they are going to start counting that on the balance sheet.

00:37:48.080 If they change the price of gold from $45 to $4,500, that means they're going to have to do that worldwide.

00:38:01.360 So, gold all of a sudden becomes $4,500 an ounce.

00:38:05.680 Okay.

00:38:06.800 As your dollar goes down, your gold will go through the roof.

00:38:10.580 This is much better when Margot Robbie is telling me about it in a bathtub.

00:38:16.180 That is the delivery system.

00:38:18.240 I could run the water.

00:38:19.180 I could get into the bathtub.

00:38:20.200 No, please don't.

00:38:21.700 Please don't.

00:38:22.300 Oh, my gosh.

00:38:22.800 Sarah just threw up on the board. 1.00

00:38:24.040 Stations, we may have some technical difficulties.

00:38:27.380 Over the years, I've heard from so many people who have discovered the value of rough greens for their dog's nutrition.

00:38:32.680 It has helped my dog Uno as well.

00:38:35.120 Came home last night.

00:38:36.180 He was dead asleep.

00:38:37.600 You know, he's like 98 years old now.

00:38:40.080 Uh, and, uh, dead asleep.

00:38:42.820 And I come in walking into the bedroom and he just kind of looks at me like, you could be an intruder.

00:38:48.360 Cause I'm so blind, but no.

00:38:51.520 And then his tags, his, uh, tail started to wag.

00:38:54.100 And, uh, I just love him.

00:38:55.960 I'm going to miss him so much when he's gone.

00:38:58.300 But rough greens, I think, has made him healthier and more active.

00:39:02.460 Uh, I want you to take the rough greens 90 day challenge.

00:39:05.940 That means for 90 days, all you have to do is sprinkle rough greens on the top of your dog's food.

00:39:09.940 Then just watch the results.

00:39:11.100 In the first 30 days, you're going to see a shinier coat and you're going to see an increase in energy.

00:39:15.800 You're going to be, at least I was, blown away by the increase in energy.

00:39:20.160 Um, by 60 days, your dog's going to have a stronger immune system, less shedding, improved joint function, all thanks to the live nutrients that's been added to his or her diet.

00:39:29.940 By 90 days, better digestion, reduced inflammation, improved heart health.

00:39:34.480 So please, just take the 90 day challenge with rough greens.

00:39:37.700 They're going to send you your first trial bag for free.

00:39:39.900 You just pay for the shipping.

00:40:02.360 Glenn Beck.

00:40:05.040 We'll be right back.

00:40:16.960 You know, a lot of times we're talking about news stories and it feels like the government's just stealing from you.

00:40:21.500 That happens constantly.

00:40:23.780 You know, it feels like every other story we do on the air is some version of the government stealing from us.

00:40:29.940 There's also a lot of criminals out there trying to steal from you.

00:40:32.180 And they're also trying to steal even your home, not just your every other possession you have.

00:40:36.860 We're talking about home title fraud.

00:40:39.080 It is one of those things that hits people.

00:40:41.180 And when it hits you, it hits you hard.

00:40:43.360 And it is it is could be devastating.

00:40:45.980 There's a California district attorney that's been talking about this lately.

00:40:49.080 Known title fraud attempts in this county have gone from zero to almost 80 in like a last year and a half.

00:40:55.820 So this is happening to a lot of people.

00:40:57.860 What is it?

00:40:58.640 Basically, they just take your title online.

00:41:01.120 They are able to print out the documents.

00:41:02.640 They transfer ownership.

00:41:04.200 You know, it's just forging signatures.

00:41:05.980 Like a lot of it kind of sounds like old school crime.

00:41:08.440 Like, you know, it could be a Leonardo DiCaprio movie from back in the day.

00:41:12.140 But it's advanced and they do it online and then they take out loans against your equity.

00:41:16.280 And if you don't protect yourself, you could be dealing with hundreds of thousands of dollars of money you didn't spend and your home in real jeopardy.

00:41:23.660 Get triple lock protection from home title lock and protect yourself against this.

00:41:44.960 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:01.820 Last night's Wednesday night special on Blaze TV, I was with Patrick Bett David in his studio in Miami.

00:42:08.480 Got a reaction to my prediction.

00:42:10.220 The Epstein client list is going to be exposed potentially very soon.

00:42:13.240 By the way, I have Alan Dershowitz on.

00:42:15.980 What do you think Alan Dershowitz is going to say about the release of the Epstein client list?

00:42:22.140 What do you think he's going to say?

00:42:26.640 It's interesting.

00:42:27.600 He's been sort of lumped into that and was later vindicated in trial.

00:42:33.420 Yeah.

00:42:33.660 I mean, yeah, she dropped the charges.

00:42:35.500 Yeah.

00:42:36.520 It wasn't you.

00:42:37.700 Maybe it wasn't Alan Dershowitz.

00:42:39.040 Oops.

00:42:39.500 After five years of saying it was.

00:42:41.020 Right.

00:42:41.260 But I would also think and I get I'm sure he if there is someone who actually did stuff with Jeffrey Epstein, I'm sure he'd want that exposed.

00:42:50.260 Just on the other on the other hand, you know, just releasing a large list of names of people who are going to be tied into and accused of pedophilia.

00:42:59.900 What has to hit him in a weird way?

00:43:01.720 Right.

00:43:02.040 Right.

00:43:02.360 But what are the odds?

00:43:03.780 So what are the odds that he says that?

00:43:05.580 Let's be careful.

00:43:06.200 And what are the odds of him saying?

00:43:10.080 I want everything out.

00:43:12.660 Lay it all out on the table.

00:43:14.280 All of it.

00:43:14.820 Yeah.

00:43:15.160 And he has talked about that before.

00:43:17.260 So that's it.

00:43:17.780 I don't know.

00:43:18.260 It's going to be interesting.

00:43:19.080 Yeah.

00:45:52.380 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:45:58.260 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:46:03.600 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:46:07.340 We are possibly days away from the Epstein client list being released.

00:46:15.140 And Cash Patel is going to have to be confirmed.

00:46:19.860 But that is in the hands of the director of the FBI.

00:46:23.960 If he's confirmed, I believe Cash is going to release that thing right away.

00:46:29.360 We talked to Anna Luna Polina yesterday.

00:46:34.080 Anna Polina Luna.

00:46:35.100 Yeah, one of those.

00:46:36.360 One of those.

00:46:37.020 In some order.

00:46:37.400 Yeah, we talked to her yesterday and she said, that's not what this commission in Congress is supposed to do.

00:46:44.920 That's up to whoever has the information to release them.

00:46:48.680 We're just as a committee here to investigate and make sure that everything has been released.

00:46:55.740 Now, should we be concerned at all on a witch hunt?

00:46:59.920 Because I don't know what the client list means.

00:47:02.540 Does that mean that people that were going to the island and, you know, having services, you know, on the island?

00:47:10.420 I don't know.

00:47:11.300 If so, I want every single name released.

00:47:14.440 Or is this just a black book and your name could be in there because you had business dealings with Jeffrey Epstein?

00:47:22.580 Might have been that you were gaining services, but it might have been that you were just, you know, you were the guy who, you know, washed the plane.

00:47:30.200 I don't know.

00:47:32.060 Because I don't want a witch hunt.

00:47:33.940 We can't engage in witch hunts.

00:47:36.780 But I want everybody involved in anything illegal to go to jail.

00:47:40.760 I thought the person to answer this, because he's been part, they had a witch hunt on him, on this case is Alan Dershowitz.

00:47:51.800 How does he feel about the information that is about to be released?

00:47:56.860 Is he saying hold off or is he saying no, release it all?

00:48:01.680 Alan Dershowitz with us next.

00:48:04.120 First, let me tell you about Legacy Box.

00:48:06.320 Capturing memories is kind of an ironic thing.

00:48:08.880 These days, you've got to have hundreds or even thousands of pictures on your phone.

00:48:12.340 But how often do you sit down and really look through them?

00:48:15.660 They're just there.

00:48:17.540 Whereas, if you're anything like me, you'll sit down and look through old pictures, you know, back in a time when we didn't take so many.

00:48:24.120 And you could do that for hours.

00:48:25.900 They're just there, too.

00:48:27.380 But they won't always be if they're in that box.

00:48:30.060 That's why you need to have Legacy Box help you out.

00:48:33.420 Legacy Box is the simple and safe way to digitize your treasured videotapes, your film reels, and photos.

00:48:57.260 And you'll get a thumb drive on a cloud or whatever you choose to have the digital sent back to you.

00:49:04.000 Don't let your childhood fade away on the old tapes.

00:49:25.280 We have Mr. Alan Dershowitz on with us.

00:49:28.820 Welcome, Alan.

00:49:29.860 How are you?

00:49:31.460 I'm great.

00:49:32.440 I can't wait for the entire list to be produced.

00:49:35.420 I want everything out there.

00:49:36.800 I want every videotape.

00:49:38.160 I want every photograph because they will prove that I had nothing to do with anything.

00:49:43.100 Indeed, the woman who accused me has now admitted publicly, withdrawn her lawsuit, admitted publicly that she may have confused me with somebody else, misidentified me.

00:49:53.220 I wanted to show that, yes, I was on the island once with my wife and my 10-year-old daughter when Jeffrey Epstein, who I was his lawyer, had just bought the island and he wanted to show me the island.

00:50:04.380 There was nobody on the island except for me, Epstein and his workers, and a professor at Harvard named Michael Porter and his wife.

00:50:13.880 We had an intellectual dinner, left the next day, and so if my name is just on the list, oh, somebody who was on the island.

00:50:21.820 No, I want everything out there.

00:50:23.260 I want to explain, yes, I was on the island.

00:50:25.940 And, yes, I was on his airplane.

00:50:27.700 I flew down on his airplane in order to represent him in front of the court and in front of the district attorney in Palm Beach County.

00:50:37.800 I was his lawyer.

00:50:39.580 And as his lawyer, of course, I was in his home.

00:50:42.820 I never saw a young person.

00:50:44.840 I never saw a naked or semi-naked person.

00:50:47.860 I never saw anything inappropriate.

00:50:49.820 I never did anything inappropriate.

00:50:51.260 And the only woman who accused me has now admitted that she may have confused me with someone else, misidentified me, and caused me over a million dollars in legal fees, expenses, and all kinds of difficulties.

00:51:03.780 So I want everything out there.

00:51:05.960 I want every word, every videotape, every tape, every black book, everything.

00:51:11.220 I want the world to see everything so they can make a judgment.

00:51:14.540 But what we shouldn't see is selective disclosures.

00:51:17.520 Oh, here's an address book that has so-and-so's name in it.

00:51:20.580 Bill Clinton's name is in it.

00:51:22.620 I'll never forget a situation.

00:51:24.420 I was having dinner.

00:51:25.180 This is an interesting story.

00:51:26.560 I was having dinner at the home of Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of the president.

00:51:30.400 And the other guest at the dinner was Bill Clinton.

00:51:33.460 And he was president of the United States.

00:51:35.800 And my wife was there.

00:51:37.960 And the Secret Service man comes over to the president and gives him the phone and says, somebody wants to talk to you.

00:51:43.980 Clinton walks away for about 15 minutes.

00:51:46.060 And then he comes back and says, Alan, somebody wants to talk to you.

00:51:49.100 And so I was curious, who the heck was President Clinton talking to for 15 minutes?

00:51:53.100 He hands the phone to me.

00:51:54.020 It's Jeffrey Epstein.

00:51:55.460 And I said, Mr. Epstein, what's up?

00:51:58.400 He said, well, I need your legal list and this and that.

00:52:00.700 And I had this legal issue and that legal issue.

00:52:02.780 We talked for a couple of minutes, made an appointment.

00:52:04.780 And that was the end of the discussion.

00:52:06.520 But, you know, he's had conversations, obviously, in business dealings with Bill Gates.

00:52:11.080 He's had business dealings with Fidel Castro.

00:52:14.280 He went down to Cuba and met with Fidel Castro to try to help him on economic issues.

00:52:19.800 He met with presidents and governors and senators.

00:52:24.300 And let's have it all out there.

00:52:25.840 Let people explain it.

00:52:26.820 I've spent, what, five years explaining my situation.

00:52:30.960 And, you know, obviously, the world now knows that I was completely, totally, categorically,

00:52:36.460 falsely accused by a woman I never met, never heard of and never saw and was never in the

00:52:42.380 same place with in my entire life.

00:52:44.240 OK, so let's not jump to conclusions.

00:52:46.420 All right.

00:52:46.680 So what does it mean, do you think, his client list?

00:52:51.860 What does that mean, do you think?

00:52:53.800 I don't know that there is such thing.

00:52:55.740 I've never seen such a thing as a client list.

00:52:57.840 Nobody claims that anybody paid for anything.

00:53:03.440 So I don't know what a client list would mean.

00:53:06.140 I think there is a I know I've seen an address book and the address book, you know, has everybody

00:53:12.600 in the world's name in it, you know, princes and kings and economic moguls and you name

00:53:18.260 it.

00:53:18.440 So there's that book.

00:53:20.100 There are also appointment books and there are plane logs.

00:53:23.960 And, for example, I'm on the plane logs, but always with other lawyers and never with

00:53:28.500 anybody young.

00:53:30.220 I've never been on a plane with him with anybody young or anybody suspicious.

00:53:34.080 So I would love to see the plane logs all out there.

00:53:37.220 I'd love to see the address book out there.

00:53:39.000 I want to see what kind of company I'm in, whoever, which other lawyers, you know, he

00:53:42.340 was represented by some of the biggest law firms in the country, Kirkland Ellis and some

00:53:46.960 of the others.

00:53:47.600 And the names of the lawyers, of course, are going to be on lists.

00:53:51.120 But one shouldn't confuse.

00:53:53.560 There is, as far as I know, I wish there were a list that said list of people who had sex

00:53:58.680 under Jeffrey Epstein's auspices.

00:54:01.300 I would love to see that list because, of course, I wouldn't be on it.

00:54:05.100 And, you know, Jeffrey once said to me, Alan, you have the happiest and best marriage of

00:54:10.340 anybody of all my friends.

00:54:11.620 If Epstein was against marriage, he said, you're the only person I've seen have a good

00:54:15.960 marriage.

00:54:16.360 So, you know, there's no way he would ever have suggested in a trillion years.

00:54:21.000 I had sex with no human being other than my wife. 0.83

00:54:24.340 From the day I met Jeffrey Epstein, I've sworn that under oath.

00:54:27.640 I proved it by my calendar references.

00:54:30.460 Nonetheless, I get every day.

00:54:32.220 I get emails.

00:54:34.280 I get websites accusing me of being a pedophile.

00:54:38.440 I have a lawsuit now against some anti-Israel person because the anti-Israel group has gotten

00:54:45.260 together.

00:54:46.120 And they all say, oh, Dershowitz, how can you trust Dershowitz?

00:54:49.120 He was on Epstein's list.

00:54:51.500 So they're still using the fact that I was Epstein's lawyer as a way of trying to diminish

00:54:57.040 my reputation as a pro-Israel advocate.

00:55:00.240 That's why it's important that everything be out there and everybody in the world know

00:55:03.920 that I never had any contact with anybody that was sexual or improper in the years that

00:55:10.600 I knew Jeffrey Epstein.

00:55:11.480 I am pleased to hear you say this because a guilty man would not say, release everything.

00:55:19.160 Everything.

00:55:19.900 I said it every day.

00:55:20.920 Well, by the way, the day I was falsely accused, it's now 11 years ago, that day, I said, release

00:55:29.060 everything, show everything.

00:55:31.080 I will produce all my memo books.

00:55:33.580 I have memo books going back from the time I started teaching at Harvard.

00:55:36.620 And I will claim no privileges.

00:55:38.820 I will not claim any privileges.

00:55:40.280 You can ask me any question.

00:55:41.980 You can ask me about anything that happened.

00:55:44.360 I'm an open book.

00:55:45.880 And you can do the same with my wife and my children.

00:55:49.360 And of course, my wife was interviewed and she and everybody else confirmed everything.

00:55:55.140 I have records, American Express records, purchase records, proving that I couldn't have been in

00:56:01.460 any of the places that people claimed I was in and in an inappropriate situation.

00:56:07.220 I was never in those places at all.

00:56:09.660 And certainly never during a period of time when anything improper could have taken place.

00:56:14.460 So the more that's out there, the better for an innocent person.

00:56:17.740 Okay.

00:56:18.360 So the thing that is surprising to me is you did go through five years of hell of people.

00:56:27.280 You had to prove you're innocent.

00:56:30.080 Ten years.

00:56:30.760 Ten years.

00:56:31.220 Okay.

00:56:31.500 How do you prove you're innocent?

00:56:33.180 Exactly right.

00:56:34.300 So that's...

00:56:35.040 Yeah, but I did.

00:56:36.500 I was able to because fortunately, I keep very careful records because I'm a lawyer.

00:56:40.800 I have to account for every hour.

00:56:42.640 And so I have careful records of every hour, which could prove...

00:56:46.460 And not only that, they're all backed up by American Express.

00:56:48.780 They're all backed up by travel records.

00:56:51.420 But this is what I wanted to talk to you about.

00:56:55.140 Not you, but the possibility of witch hunts for other people that might be in your category.

00:57:03.980 Look, I did business with him, et cetera, et cetera.

00:57:06.400 But I...

00:57:07.020 Because everybody's going to claim that.

00:57:09.060 Everybody's going to say, oh, no, I...

00:57:10.860 No, I was down there and I...

00:57:12.380 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:57:13.960 Some innocent people might be scooped up into this if it is his address book.

00:57:19.840 How do you...

00:57:21.100 How do we stop saying to everybody, well, you're going to have to prove your innocence?

00:57:27.400 I think in America, we have freedom of speech and we have transparency.

00:57:31.300 You let it all hang out and let the public judge based on the totality of the evidence.

00:57:37.040 The one thing that couldn't happen, that shouldn't happen, and that did happen in this case.

00:57:40.260 The judge in this case said, I'm letting this out, but I'm not letting that out.

00:57:43.940 And the judge withheld information that would have proved innocence.

00:57:48.240 And that's what I'm afraid is happening in this case.

00:57:50.680 There are going to be people who are going to say, we want this to be out because it shows

00:57:53.940 suspicious conduct.

00:57:55.440 But we're not going to let this out because it deals with, for example, the credibility

00:58:00.740 of the accusers.

00:58:02.140 And we're not going to let that out because we don't want anybody to attack the credibility

00:58:05.680 of accusers.

00:58:06.980 God forbid, even if there's a false accusation.

00:58:09.760 So the great fear is partial release.

00:58:13.100 It's like free speech.

00:58:14.260 The worst thing is to have free speech for me, but not for thee.

00:58:17.400 And only some people get to have free speech.

00:58:20.140 And here you have only some information that could be that raise questions about people

00:58:26.220 should be released.

00:58:27.080 But the information that proves the innocence is going to be withheld.

00:58:30.900 That's the problem.

00:58:32.800 Do you know for a fact there were tapes?

00:58:36.420 I hope so.

00:58:37.500 I was told there were tapes.

00:58:39.960 There were definitely some tapes.

00:58:42.140 The question is what the tapes were of.

00:58:44.260 We know, it's a matter of record, that there was somebody who worked for him who stole things.

00:58:50.060 And so the police in Palm Beach installed tapes to try to catch the robber.

00:58:55.880 Now, whether they installed them in bedrooms as well as in living areas, I don't know the answer to that question.

00:59:02.340 I hope there were tapes with every single second.

00:59:05.140 And let's remember among who were accused.

00:59:07.380 And not only was I falsely accused, but the former majority leader of the Senate, Mitchell, he was accused of having sex.

00:59:17.180 And by the way, they were all accused of having unprotected sex with somebody who allegedly had sex with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people. 0.91

00:59:25.780 Imagine any reasonable person having unprotected sex. 0.56

00:59:29.100 So it was Mitchell, it was Senator Richardson was accused, the Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Barak was accused.

00:59:39.100 Prince Andrew, David Copperfield, Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Gore, Richard Branson, Stephen Hawking, which that one I believe, Michael Jackson.

00:59:50.140 They had a story of me and this man in a wheelchair together attending an orgy.

00:59:59.860 I mean, I just imagine the idea of me trying to jump over the wheelchair to get at some young, you know, some of it is the most bizarre, preposterous thing. 0.99

01:00:07.920 And, you know, some of the some of the allegations themselves, you know, prove questions about the credibility.

01:00:17.440 But the important point is all should come out, everything.

01:00:22.040 There shouldn't be anything withheld right now.

01:00:24.520 The courts are withholding certain of the information because they don't want information out there that could cast doubts on the credibility of the accusers.

01:00:32.740 And that's just not fair.

01:00:34.600 Yeah, you're going to accuse.

01:00:36.060 You have to have everything out there.

01:00:37.860 You can't have it selective.

01:00:38.920 I have to tell you, I am for radical transparency.

01:00:41.940 I'm concerned about witch hunts, but I am for radical transparency because these names held in secret and having some things held in secret, not everything out.

01:00:51.040 It just provides the opportunity for blackmail and everything else.

01:00:55.700 It's too much information for any one agency or or any government or anybody to hold and have over the heads of people, because when you don't know what's in there and you don't know, you know, there might be exonerating things for you in this information, but they can hold it back.

01:01:13.900 That's really, really dangerous.

01:01:15.900 Terrible.

01:01:16.200 Look, I was subject to blackmail as a result of all this.

01:01:19.800 I was canceled as a speaker at the 92nd Street Y, canceled as a speaker at Temple Emanuel in New York, the largest reformed temple in the United States, canceled all over the country as a speaker, canceled basically by the New York Times, just as a result of an accusation, which has now been legally withdrawn.

01:01:42.920 And the woman admitted that, you know, she may have confused me with somebody else.

01:01:46.520 But just as a result of the accusation, that's why I wrote a book called Guilt by Accusation.

01:01:52.020 Now, I don't stand by everything in the book because a lot of things have changed since that book was published seven or eight years ago.

01:01:58.800 But again, who would publish a book laying it all out if they had anything to hide?

01:02:04.320 I have nothing to hide about my sex life.

01:02:07.540 And, you know, you talk about perfect attendance.

01:02:10.480 Use the word perfect in terms of attendance.

01:02:12.340 You would say I had perfect attendance.

01:02:14.600 I've had a perfect sex life in the sense that since the day I met Jeffrey Epstein, I never, ever, ever violated any vows or did anything improper.

01:02:24.920 And anybody who knows me knows that.

01:02:27.180 And yet half the world believes that I was guilty of charges, even though they've been essentially the woman admitted.

01:02:35.260 She may have confused me with somebody else.

01:02:36.900 Alan, I know I'm going to get heat from some members of this audience for having you on, because I do every time, because they're like, they're convinced.

01:02:46.640 And I'm like, well, you know what?

01:02:48.040 A court wasn't convinced.

01:02:49.420 She took her accusations back, and he's been straight up, I think, with all of us.

01:02:57.620 And I don't think that there's...

01:02:59.480 You know what else happened?

01:03:00.640 People don't forget this.

01:03:02.440 Yeah.

01:03:02.600 Four or five days after I was accused, I wrote an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal inviting, inviting the FBI to investigate me.

01:03:10.520 Yeah.

01:03:10.960 Saying I will have no privileges.

01:03:13.040 I will answer every question.

01:03:14.560 I will produce every document.

01:03:16.060 Have you ever heard of a guilty person asking for an investigation?

01:03:19.980 No.

01:03:20.120 Why the FBI?

01:03:21.460 I was upset the FBI didn't investigate me, because if they did, obviously they would have concluded, as now, I think any reasonable person concluded, that I was either the victim of a false identification, the woman admitted she may have confused me with somebody else, or a deliberate plot.

01:03:38.400 I've been subject to blackmail.

01:03:40.220 I've said to every blackmailer, produce it.

01:03:43.520 Of course I'm not paying you a nickel.

01:03:44.740 I never paid a nickel to any, and I never would pay a nickel to anybody who falsely accused me.

01:03:49.960 That's the wrong tactic to take, always.

01:03:52.100 Alan Dershowitz, host of The Dershow, and you can follow him at dersh.substack.com or on Twitter, at Alan Dersh.

01:04:02.300 Alan, thank you very much.

01:04:03.580 All right.

01:04:04.080 Inflammation is what Relief Factor takes care of, and they are our sponsor this half hour.

01:04:10.240 Inflammation, I mean, just the word sounds unpleasant.

01:04:12.460 There's a lot of people in the world who suffer from frequent pain, and inflammation is usually the thing causing it.

01:04:19.240 Inside your body's joints begin to swell.

01:04:21.680 The next thing you know, you have pain radiating outward from those sources in your body.

01:04:26.720 Hundreds of people have taken this, and I've heard from hundreds of people that have taken Relief Factor, and from their own personal experience can testify to the truth.

01:04:37.640 And I'm the same kind of guy.

01:04:39.160 I can tell you I've taken it, and it stopped.

01:04:43.780 They didn't even—nobody knew how to stop this pain.

01:04:47.680 It stopped when I started taking Relief Factor.

01:04:50.760 I took it every day.

01:04:52.280 I still take it every day.

01:04:53.620 It's a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation, which is the source of most of our pain in our bodies and a lot of our disease.

01:05:29.420 10-second station ID.

01:05:40.160 I think Alan is a little too close to this to be able to get a broader picture on this because he just wants it to come out because it'll exonerate him, he feels, with everybody who is still kind of hanging on to that.

01:05:56.720 So I didn't think we got a really witch hunt kind of thing.

01:06:00.600 Yeah, I'm concerned a little bit listening to him because obviously he keeps all these records.

01:06:07.280 Not everybody does that.

01:06:08.440 No, right, exactly right.

01:06:09.300 You know, who knows who's going to be lumped into this thing.

01:06:11.960 That being said, the crimes are so horrific that the people who are guilty really do need to figure out who they are and they need to be punished.

01:06:19.200 You should see.

01:06:19.940 Have you seen the list?

01:06:20.920 I mean, I have just partial list that has come out and, like, everybody's on it.

01:06:28.960 Right.

01:06:29.300 And what does that mean?

01:06:30.060 I don't know.

01:06:30.840 I don't know.

01:06:32.020 More in a minute.

01:06:35.920 This is Glenn Beck.

01:06:38.540 Yesterday, last night, I was in San Antonio.

01:06:44.680 I was speaking for a woman's haven, which is an organization down in San Antonio that's really working hard to fight against abortion.

01:06:56.600 And, you know, the greatest thing about the way we're fighting this now, it's not about standing in front of an abortion clinic.

01:07:06.060 It's about buying the property next to an abortion clinic and offering the same thing for free except for the abortions.

01:07:14.100 And the amazing thing is, is when you actually listen to women and you and you ask them, what, why do you want to have this abortion?

01:07:26.100 Well, because I already have two kids and I can't get a third and carry them around, you know, to go to the store and everything else.

01:07:33.200 Would a double baby stroller fix that?

01:07:36.820 Yes, that's that's honestly what one woman said. 0.62

01:07:41.260 If I could have a double because I can't carry all three of them, I wouldn't have this abortion. 0.99

01:07:46.160 It's crazy.

01:08:06.820 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:08:18.500 So last Wednesday, the first batch of court files that included the names of victims and friends and associates of Jeffrey Epstein was released.

01:08:33.620 And boy, oh, boy, is it a list.

01:08:36.820 And it doesn't mean that these are people that, you know, were having sex with underage kids, but they were part of the investigation one way or the other.

01:08:50.560 Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, which Donald Trump was friends with Epstein or was, you know, his business friend, I guess, for a while.

01:09:02.740 But cut that off when in the early 2000s, right?

01:09:07.520 I think 2008.

01:09:09.540 I don't remember the date, but it was before anything was public.

01:09:11.880 Yeah.

01:09:12.100 And he cut that off because he cut that off because Epstein was harassing one of the women that was working with Donald Trump, I think, at Mar-a-Lago.

01:09:22.280 Hillary Clinton's on the list.

01:09:23.780 David Copperfield.

01:09:26.480 Alan Dershowitz.

01:09:27.600 Leonardo DiCaprio.

01:09:28.900 Al Gore.

01:09:29.600 Richard Branson.

01:09:30.740 Stephen Hawking.

01:09:32.380 Ehud Barak.

01:09:33.580 Michael Jackson.

01:09:35.100 Kevin Spacey.

01:09:36.100 Now, here's another one.

01:09:37.340 Kevin Spacey.

01:09:38.580 I don't think he's – I think he's a dirtbag, but didn't he win all of his cases?

01:09:44.960 Yeah.

01:09:45.240 He hasn't been convicted of anything, and I think he won all of his legal challenges, I believe, or at least they were thrown out.

01:09:53.100 So, I know he's been trying to kind of make a comeback relatively recently.

01:09:56.860 I don't know how that's going, but it's a tough, tough road.

01:09:59.620 And that's the issue here.

01:10:00.880 Not everybody keeps the records of Alan Dershowitz.

01:10:03.620 Right, right, right.

01:10:04.920 I, frankly, you know, the crimes are so egregious that, like, you – whatever, you have to look into this.

01:10:14.720 But I do think that there will be people who wind up getting – you know, because, look, we all know this.

01:10:20.740 We know how this works.

01:10:22.000 When you have a lot of money, like Jeffrey Epstein did, and you go and you throw it around, and you get a couple of powerful friends,

01:10:28.900 you wind up then getting access to all sorts of things.

01:10:32.680 A lot of people who are in these circles say, oh, well, he just – I just saw him at a party with this guy that I know who's really rich and powerful, and therefore, I guess he's okay.

01:10:42.800 Yeah.

01:10:42.920 And, you know, like, a lot of that stuff happens.

01:10:44.660 I think after – it's really, to me, strange, and there's a lot of people on the list who fit this description.

01:10:50.800 Once he was, like, convicted of this and went to, quote, unquote, jail, which wasn't really a jail for him.

01:11:00.480 It was kind of, like, more like an office he had to show up to every day.

01:11:03.660 But, like, once this all came out about what he was doing, anybody who's after that is, like, well, what are you getting involved with this guy then?

01:11:13.460 At that point, it should be darn clear who this guy was.

01:11:17.280 At the beginning –

01:11:18.260 Well, that was Belinda Gates. 0.94

01:11:19.980 He's just another rich guy.

01:11:20.360 That's what –

01:11:20.920 Yeah.

01:11:21.300 She was saying, like, hey, Bill.

01:11:23.880 Hey, Bill.

01:11:24.720 You might want to stay away from him.

01:11:26.120 And, apparently, that's one of the things that broke them up is Bill Gates was, like, no.

01:11:32.440 Right.

01:11:33.140 We've got important business we do.

01:11:35.400 Yeah.

01:11:35.900 And there's, frankly, even another layer of this, which very well might be – because, you know, you go back to the early days of him.

01:11:44.120 Nepstine was known as, like, a playboy with, I don't know, of-age women, right? 0.96

01:11:50.400 And so, there are plenty of rich, powerful people who want to hang out with of-age attractive women and have ridiculous parties with them and don't qualify for the later stage stuff that Nepstine was into. 1.00

01:12:06.180 Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

01:12:08.100 RFK Jr. is on this list, right? 0.96

01:12:09.660 And we know – I mean, he's an admitted dirtbag. 0.93

01:12:12.760 Yes. 0.95

01:12:13.660 He wrote about it in his diary.

01:12:15.980 And he has had as bad a record with women as anyone you know.

01:12:21.340 Yeah.

01:12:21.560 But women, not girls. 1.00

01:12:22.780 As far as we know.

01:12:23.480 As far as we know, not girls.

01:12:24.600 Women, right? 1.00

01:12:25.380 Right.

01:12:25.520 There's no reason – I have no reason to believe that he has ever, you know, had any incidents at all with underage women.

01:12:31.680 I don't think there's even an accusation of that, though he's on this list.

01:12:34.300 Yeah.

01:12:34.740 So, what does that mean?

01:12:36.180 Pritzker is on this.

01:12:37.420 Who?

01:12:37.940 Tom Pritzker.

01:12:38.900 Tom Pritzker.

01:12:39.740 Yeah.

01:12:40.180 Chris Tucker.

01:12:41.400 Noam Chomsky.

01:12:43.100 It's like a list of all famous people from this era.

01:12:45.440 I know.

01:12:46.160 Cameron Diaz, Bianca Jagger, Bruce Willis, Heidi Klum.

01:12:50.540 Bruce Willis. 0.98

01:12:50.880 Again, should we be thinking Heidi Klum was having sex with underage girls? 0.94

01:12:56.200 No, I think that is – 0.64

01:12:57.260 It's unlikely.

01:12:58.380 I think these kinds of names are more likely the kinds of names that you would invite to give yourself credibility.

01:13:08.580 Right.

01:13:08.880 I was just with Heidi Klum the other – or Klum the other day.

01:13:11.020 I was just with Kate Blanchett having dinner with Bianca Jagger and Cameron Diaz.

01:13:16.460 And you'd be like, oh, well, I guess it's okay.

01:13:19.040 And, like, I know it could be more than this.

01:13:20.860 Who knows?

01:13:21.440 It's free.

01:13:22.060 And Hollywood names, you never know what the heck they're involved in.

01:13:24.440 But, like, these circles are these circles.

01:13:27.460 You know, these parties are built around big celebrities, athletes, things like that that get invited to these parties at the same parties where there's just high-powered executives who think it's cool to hang out with them.

01:13:40.840 And so there's a lot of cross-pollination here.

01:13:43.300 We just have to be – we have to just be aware going in.

01:13:45.700 I think most people on this list, it's going to be clear – Heidi Klum, I don't think, is in any danger of having these accusations against her and then building up to things.

01:13:54.400 People like RFK Jr., especially now with his association with Trump, will likely be targeted in a serious way.

01:14:00.960 And they'll try to make a case that he did horrible, horrible things.

01:14:03.940 Now, he has done horrible things, just not to that level as far as I know.

01:14:06.740 A lot of these people on this list are going to have to deal with stuff that, you know, unlike an Alan Dershowitz, who may have the, you know, meticulous records going back to the 60s, you know, I mean, that's not everybody.

01:14:18.920 Would you be willing to give – what's her name?

01:14:24.520 His assistant, Maxwell.

01:14:28.100 Giselle Maxwell.

01:14:28.680 Giselle.

01:14:29.240 Yeah, Giselle Maxwell.

01:14:29.640 Jelaine.

01:14:30.120 Jelaine.

01:14:30.960 Yeah, whatever.

01:14:31.480 Whatever her name is.

01:14:31.980 We all know who it is.

01:14:32.940 Would you be willing to give her immunity if she turned testimony?

01:14:42.820 I know.

01:14:43.700 It's really hard.

01:14:44.860 No, she was involved, as far as we know, again, allegedly, very involved in this stuff.

01:14:50.120 And we're talking about, you know, a bunch of children being molested and sexually assaulted.

01:14:56.300 So I can't – I don't think so.

01:14:57.600 So the one person – she's been in jail since 2021, and so she's paying for it because she was convicted of sex trafficking. 1.00

01:15:06.220 And I have no sympathy for sex traffickers.

01:15:09.220 But the people who hire for little children, they're just as bad.

01:15:20.140 And if this one person could put a whole slew of people behind bars, I might consider it.

01:15:27.960 I mean, the allegations, again, allegations, but, I mean, she's in prison.

01:15:34.160 Against her are, like, she was convincing these young girls to come to the house. 0.97

01:15:39.960 I don't know.

01:15:40.980 She's not a good person.

01:15:41.940 This is not a fringy, oh, well, you know, she was one of the drivers, and she did see this.

01:15:47.960 And, you know, that's – I don't know.

01:15:49.660 I find it.

01:15:50.000 Did you see the movie Tetris?

01:15:52.480 Yes.

01:15:52.840 Yes.

01:15:53.700 About the kind of creation of the game, how it became, came to the American market.

01:15:57.360 Yeah.

01:15:57.460 You know the rich guy in England and his son?

01:16:01.600 Oh, yeah.

01:16:02.200 That's her dad.

01:16:03.280 That's her dad.

01:16:04.060 Yeah, yeah.

01:16:04.740 Her dad was a billionaire, right?

01:16:06.680 And a really bad guy.

01:16:08.820 A really bad guy.

01:16:09.720 Built on a house of cards.

01:16:11.440 Yes.

01:16:11.640 And it all fell apart.

01:16:13.540 He died, right?

01:16:14.700 I mean, she's had a –

01:16:15.780 She's had a bad life.

01:16:16.800 Again, she's had a life which, you know, would make it incredibly disturbing, but an incredible movie.

01:16:23.180 Yeah.

01:16:23.400 I mean, she really has.

01:16:25.140 But, you know, I don't know.

01:16:26.180 I can't – I mean, maybe there's – maybe you could say, well, you're in a better prison cell.

01:16:30.760 Like, I don't know what the – maybe there's some sort of concession you can make that's associated with it.

01:16:36.320 But, like, I'm not – I'm sorry.

01:16:37.420 I'm not giving immunity to somebody who did that.

01:16:39.160 I have a real problem with that.

01:16:40.980 So, would you give immunity – because I would think, if you're in Washington, D.C. right now, you might be thinking to yourself, gee, they're going to come and get me.

01:16:52.840 I might try to become a whistleblower.

01:16:55.320 If I'm a bad guy, I might try to become a whistleblower and hope for immunity if I turn some big names in.

01:17:02.780 Now, if you have evidence.

01:17:04.380 Yeah.

01:17:05.260 Yeah, maybe.

01:17:05.940 Maybe you try – I mean, that's –

01:17:08.080 There has to be a few people in Washington that had the evidence, had known what was going on and just like, just as a safety, I'm going to keep this in a safety deposit box.

01:17:19.760 You'd think that that's out there.

01:17:20.980 Yeah.

01:17:21.180 And if this stuff all comes out, you know, again, we don't know what it is.

01:17:25.060 So, it's hard.

01:17:25.700 We're all just speculating here.

01:17:27.200 Maybe there is incredible evidence in here and we can really point to – maybe there's 10% of that list that is really provable by this information.

01:17:36.440 And if so, I want to know why it was held so long.

01:17:38.400 But, you know, also it could just be the stuff that we already have and just, you know, and then I think we're in a position where just like we were all very sensitive at the time about the Me Too accusations where everyone – every name was getting thrown out there and a lot of these people denied.

01:17:53.260 I mean, Trump is absolutely a victim of this, right?

01:17:56.260 Like he has been accused by a ton of women for all sorts of terrible things.

01:18:01.940 And we all, I think, look at it fairly and say, okay, he's the president of the United States.

01:18:06.640 He's being targeted likely for political reasons.

01:18:08.920 But if there's evidence out there, all of us, everybody in this audience would want Trump in prison.

01:18:13.100 Yes.

01:18:13.380 If he actually did the stuff he was accused of, I would want him in prison.

01:18:16.960 I don't care if he's on, quote unquote, my side.

01:18:19.200 He's not on my side if he was doing that stuff.

01:18:20.980 Yeah.

01:18:21.140 And so I just don't think he was doing that stuff, and I have not seen any evidence that he was doing that stuff that's believable in any way.

01:18:28.220 But you have to look at it that way.

01:18:31.860 We still have to maintain the innocent until proven guilty standard, right, Glenn?

01:18:35.220 We do.

01:18:35.880 We do.

01:18:36.360 That has to be a part of this.

01:18:37.640 Yeah.

01:18:37.920 Even though I think a lot of Democrats might be caught up in it, they still get that protection.

01:18:42.480 Well, we're going to get a press conference today where Donald Trump is going to be naming names and organizations that have just, you know, in his view, and I believe him, built the United States of billions of dollars.

01:18:59.800 I mean, he was in a press conference yesterday or, you know, speaking to the press, and he was saying, you know, they were asking, what do you think about, you know, USAID and all the good that they do?

01:19:08.560 And he's like, look, we're talking billions of dollars that have just been taken from the American people and used for all sorts of crazy things.

01:19:18.460 He said, tomorrow, I'm going to name names.

01:19:20.980 I'm going to show you what people were doing with your money.

01:19:25.840 And he said, Pam Bondi is already on it.

01:19:28.780 He said, there's no way, I believe, there's no way this money was allocated to some of these NGOs and kickbacks didn't come back.

01:19:39.480 That's why you're also hearing, and I love this, Elon Musk saying, we've got to investigate every member of Congress.

01:19:46.820 That's been making $200,000 a year.

01:19:49.420 They got into Congress, and they were maybe, you know, worth $40,000 or even a million dollars, and now they're worth $200 million.

01:20:00.400 What did you do to make that money?

01:20:03.080 And I think we know some of it.

01:20:04.580 It's insider trading.

01:20:05.820 But for some reason, what's illegal for you to do, they can do legally.

01:20:12.500 That's got to stop.

01:20:14.400 But I think there's also, you're going to see it.

01:20:18.560 You know USAID was giving money to the Tides Foundation?

01:20:23.580 You know that?

01:20:24.000 Next Wednesday, we're doing a special.

01:20:28.800 We're going to show you some names and things and connections that you haven't seen yet.

01:20:35.660 We've been working on it for a few weeks.

01:20:38.020 Money went from our tax dollars, went from the U.S. government to the Tides Foundation.

01:20:45.560 And the Tides Foundation is really, in my opinion, it's a money laundering situation.

01:20:50.760 It's just you can give anonymously, and then it goes into this big pool of money, and you can't trace it past there.

01:20:58.160 Because it's a left-wing organization that, you know, you can give to, and you can say, oh, no, I was trying to feed the children in Africa.

01:21:05.640 When actually, wink, wink, nod, nod, I want this to go to stop Donald Trump, or whatever the cause is, and nobody can trace it to you.

01:21:16.000 Why is the government giving money to the George Soros Open Society Fund?

01:21:21.740 What?

01:21:22.940 Why would we be giving money to George Soros?

01:21:26.660 Why would we be giving money to the Tides Foundation?

01:21:32.960 Can you imagine the outrage if government money was going to the NRA?

01:21:39.380 I mean, I'd be upset about that.

01:21:41.840 Wait, wait, wait, hold it just a second.

01:21:44.260 We're giving, my tax dollars are going to support this group?

01:21:48.160 No, no.

01:21:50.700 That's, nowhere in the Constitution can that be done.

01:21:53.980 I think it's, I think we're in for a few real eye-opening days, and today might be another one.

01:22:02.180 By the way, the Senate is voting to confirm JFK as HHS Secretary.

01:22:10.040 Yeah, RFK Jr.

01:22:11.480 Well, nobody thought that RFKs, thank you, Sarah.

01:22:15.520 Bobby Kennedy's going to be head of HHS?

01:22:19.300 That's weird.

01:22:20.120 How did that happen?

01:22:21.220 Yeah, I know, RFK Jr.

01:22:23.120 I thought you said JFK.

01:22:24.240 Oh, did I say JFK?

01:22:25.560 Oh, okay. 1.00

01:22:26.160 Well, you're stupid anyway. 1.00

01:22:28.380 Will JFK be there? 1.00

01:22:28.920 Not my fault.

01:22:29.720 Well, maybe it's JFK Jr.

01:22:32.720 No, he won't be there either.

01:22:33.680 No, he won't be there either.

01:22:34.740 So there's only really one FK that could be it, really, that's left, and that would be RFK Jr.

01:22:43.740 Thank you.

01:22:45.020 They're looking to confirm him.

01:22:47.660 Who else is in their last round?

01:22:49.600 Kash Patel is in their last round of hearings today.

01:22:52.760 There's somebody else that was in a hearing earlier today.

01:22:56.060 Do you know who that was, Sarah?

01:22:58.860 No, Tulsi was confirmed yesterday.

01:23:01.960 But they're in their last round, and it's interesting to me that the one they really want to stop is Kash Patel.

01:23:10.640 They really wanted to stop Tulsi, intelligence, and then the guy who's the enforcement arm with the FBI, they got to stop him.

01:23:22.640 It's interesting what's making them squeal, isn't it?

01:23:26.280 All right, back in just a second.

01:23:27.420 The Israelis may be gearing up for more conflict in the coming days if Hamas continues to withhold the hostages.

01:23:33.640 Donald Trump said by Saturday, if they don't release all of the hostages, there will be hell to be paid.

01:23:40.120 There's plenty of things that could go wrong in the area, and they're still suffering.

01:23:47.800 The people there are still suffering.

01:23:49.200 I personally feel compelled to send the people of Israel and also God a message that we stand behind the Jewish people.

01:24:02.000 They have been abandoned by the world over and over and over and over again.

01:24:08.560 And we have too much in common with them.

01:24:11.300 They're our brothers and sisters.

01:24:12.800 We spring, really, Christianity and this country springs from the loins of Israel. 0.98

01:24:22.600 I'd like to bless Israel.

01:24:24.620 I think you would, too.

01:24:26.060 If you would, go to supportifcj.org.

01:24:29.020 Help the people of Israel with just food, water, medical support, all of the things they stand in need of.

01:24:36.800 888-488-IFCJ, 888-488-IFCJ, supportifcj.org.

01:24:45.520 Glenn Beck.

01:25:06.800 Hour three, still yet to come.

01:25:15.860 There is a lot that happened yesterday that we haven't had a chance to cover yet.

01:25:21.140 We do it in hour number three of the Glenn Beck program next.

01:25:27.960 This is Glenn Beck.

01:25:36.800 We'll be right back.

01:26:06.800 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:26:23.200 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:26:26.580 Hello, America.

01:26:30.040 You know, the one thing that I learned when I became active in faith, I think I always had faith, but I didn't really do anything about it.

01:26:43.620 And then I became active and I made it the center of my life.

01:26:47.380 And my life, shockingly, became so much easier.

01:26:51.080 And I really thought it would be the opposite.

01:26:53.760 There are so many rules.

01:26:54.660 I've got to do this, I've got to do that.

01:26:56.600 But it makes your life so easy.

01:27:00.580 Ross Douthat, he has just written a book called Believe Why Everyone Should Be Religious.

01:27:05.720 He kind of takes on the topic of living without faith is really harder than living with it.

01:27:13.240 And he's absolutely right.

01:27:14.960 Fascinating conversation coming your way here in just a second.

01:27:17.420 First, let me tell you about our sponsor for 60 seconds.

01:27:20.440 It's Patriot Mobile.

01:27:21.620 Imagine every time your phone rings, you put it up to your ear and you think, gee, I'm paying to use this thing.

01:27:26.820 And some of that money is going to like Planned Parenthood.

01:27:29.240 Not a pleasant thought, but if you're with some of the big mobile companies like Verizon, it's true.

01:27:35.700 Now imagine answering your phone and thinking, wow, part of the money I'm spending on this call is going to defend freedom and the principles of our Constitution.

01:27:45.280 Good news, Patriot Mobile is that company.

01:27:49.580 They're America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company.

01:27:52.540 Their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to glorify God always.

01:27:57.940 And they offer nationwide dependable coverage with access to all three major networks.

01:28:03.500 So you're getting the same coverage without sending money to leftist causes.

01:28:07.920 And the customer service, I believe, is better than others.

01:28:10.660 And you can get a free month if you switch to Patriot Mobile today.

01:28:14.540 Defend freedom with every call and text you make.

01:28:25.380 972-PATRIOT.

01:28:27.940 Promo code BECK.

01:28:29.700 All right.

01:28:30.500 Ross, welcome to the program.

01:28:31.880 How are you?

01:28:33.180 I'm great, Glenn.

01:28:34.160 Thanks so much for having me.

01:28:35.360 You bet.

01:28:35.780 I find your book and your premise here to be so true just right off the bat that it is easier to live with faith than to live without it.

01:28:49.760 And when you really start to question and engage your mind on faith, you have to reject so much science, I think, and common sense if you dismiss God.

01:29:08.800 Yeah, obviously, I think that's right.

01:29:12.740 I think we're in a moment right now in our culture where it's kind of an inflection point.

01:29:19.840 It's interesting.

01:29:20.520 We've lived through about, you know, 20 or 25 years where religion has been in decline.

01:29:26.020 People have been leaving churches.

01:29:28.520 You know, there's been scandal, sex abuse, politics, all of these things.

01:29:32.460 And right now it seems to me that you've got a kind of a reconsideration where a lot of people, especially younger people, are taking a new look at religion or sort of interested in it again.

01:29:44.440 But there's this hurdle that it gets to what you're saying, Glenn, that people feel like they need to get over where people are like, well, it'd be nice to be religious, but I feel like I have to leave my reason at the door.

01:29:56.840 I have to, you know, leave science behind.

01:29:59.220 I have to take this leap into the dark.

01:30:01.840 And a big part of what I'm doing in this book is saying, no, in fact, that's not true.

01:30:07.040 In fact, the world, the universe, the human place in the cosmos actually makes much more sense under religious premises than it does if you start out with the assumption that, you know, it's all random, accidental and so on.

01:30:22.580 And in fact, most of what science has suggested, physics, especially in the last 50 or 100 years, is that we are, in fact, here for a reason.

01:30:32.260 The universe is, in fact, made and not accidental.

01:30:36.220 And that, I think, should lay a stronger foundation for people who are, you know, who would like to believe, right, but struggle to get across the threshold.

01:30:46.300 It's amazing to me because I think if God exists, which I believe he does, he has to be the greatest scientist because he created all this.

01:30:54.660 And the math on the universe is exact and universal.

01:30:59.760 It just doesn't seem to be something that could randomly just appear because it is so incredibly exact.

01:31:08.580 I don't know if you've ever heard Thomas Jefferson's quote.

01:31:11.600 He was writing his nephew, Peter Carr, and he said, you know, explaining different things.

01:31:17.820 And he said, when it comes to religion, above all things, fix reason firmly in her seat, because if there is a God, he must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear.

01:31:28.840 And that changed my life, you know, you should be asking these hard questions because you can find a lot of the answers.

01:31:40.460 There's a lot you're never going to know, but science plays a real role in the discovery of God, right?

01:31:48.240 Yeah, yeah. And there's I mean, one and one thing that has has shifted in the last few generations is it was always the case, I think, that science suggested that the universe was made by someone with, let's say, a very mathematical mind.

01:32:06.020 Right. But, you know, and just the fact that human beings in our limited reason could understand these universal laws and figure out how calculus works,

01:32:16.560 figure out theoretical physics, all of these things, all of those things, I think, already pointed towards some kind of divine architect.

01:32:23.960 But then you get into this is just the fascinating reality that we've only recently figured out, which is that all of these values that sort of keep the universe together, the cosmological constant, the strong nuclear force,

01:32:39.580 these sort of very particular aspects of physics are set in these really precise ways that if and we're talking not like one in a hundred, we're talking, you know, one, you know, one in a hundred billion to produce stars, planets, life itself.

01:32:58.080 And if you tweak those in one direction or another in just a tiny way, you would have an empty, dead cosmos, a cosmos that flies apart, a cosmos that collapses in on itself.

01:33:09.820 And our universe really is in this kind of Goldilocks jackpot zone for making us possible.

01:33:16.400 And what's fascinating is that even atheistic, non-believing scientists basically acknowledge this, and they've sort of taken refuge in the idea of, you know, the multiverse, right?

01:33:27.740 Like one reason that every superhero movie now has this idea of the multiverse is it has actually become really important for the atheist to believe, well, we can't, we can't, we seem special, but in fact, there must be, you know,

01:33:41.520 a gazillion other universes we can't see. And the motto of modern atheism is basically better, a gazillion universes we can't see than one God.

01:33:51.020 That's sort of where atheism has ended up.

01:33:53.340 So how would you deal with quantum physics or, you know, quantum computing even? How do you deal with?

01:34:01.600 Well, the quantum revolution is also, that's another really fascinating case, right?

01:34:06.220 Where quantum physics is sort of the place where our reason, our ability to fully understand the world hits a kind of limit, at least so far, right?

01:34:15.940 You end up with these really weird things where, you know, something, is something a wave or a particle, is something there or in a different place?

01:34:24.660 It all, you know, depending on, it all depends on observation, right?

01:34:28.760 Like whether, you know, basically to really oversimplify, it seems like at the deepest level of reality, there's a kind of possibility that only collapses into reality when we ourselves are looking at it and measuring it and studying it.

01:34:46.640 It gives it, it gives the quote, you know, or the old saying, you know, if a tree falls in the woods and nobody's there to hear it, did it actually happen?

01:34:54.060 It actually gives teeth to that, in a way.

01:34:57.220 Right. Quantum physics said, maybe it did or maybe it didn't.

01:35:01.620 It depends on whether we were there to see it.

01:35:05.220 But the implication, the implication of that is, in fact, a religious implication, because it says, look, mind actually precedes matter, right?

01:35:14.880 And the human mind participates every time you're looking around at the world, we are, you know, in a bizarre but fascinating way, participating in the literal creation or an existence of the world.

01:35:28.360 And obviously, this has implications for creation itself, right?

01:35:32.080 Because there was a very long period of, you know, cosmological history where human beings weren't around as observers.

01:35:39.660 But the religious perspective has always been that it's the mind of God that holds reality together in total, right?

01:35:48.720 And that, I think, is something that is deeply consonant with what quantum physics has figured out about how our own minds relate to reality.

01:35:56.540 We are, in fact, made in the image of God in the sense that we, like God, participate in taking possibilities and turning them into physical realities,

01:36:07.820 which sort of blows your mind.

01:36:09.600 But it is, in fact, like the most, I think, the most plausible interpretation of what quantum physics suggests.

01:36:18.000 Fascinating.

01:36:19.920 Give me your explanation on why you think that it is easier to live life with than without faith.

01:36:26.900 Well, I mean, there's two levels, right?

01:36:30.720 Like, there's a sort of practical case for religion that a lot of people who aren't deeply religious can still get behind, right?

01:36:39.220 Which is to say, you know, it's good to have a sense of meaning and purpose, a sense of your own cosmic significance.

01:36:47.520 And I think, you know, a lot of one reason among many that you see a lot of depression and anxiety and even suicidality among younger people these days is that they're the first generation in American history where large numbers of them have been raised, you know, not even with like a weak form of faith, but with no exposure to religion at all.

01:37:06.860 No basic Sunday school, you know, nothing, nothing like that.

01:37:09.620 Right. And there's a way in which religious belief just offers you a basic grounding in your own life.

01:37:17.260 You have a place. You're here for a reason. It's not an accident.

01:37:20.980 You know, human civilization is not just like a candle that's about to be snuffed out by climate change or something.

01:37:27.000 And then related to that, there's, you know, faith as a form of community.

01:37:31.060 Right. There's solidarity. There's support.

01:37:34.700 All of the kind of things that Alexis de Tocqueville wrote about in American life.

01:37:38.320 Right. So the role that religious institutions play in building social capital, all of that is real.

01:37:44.580 So that's that's step one. But in in the book, I'm trying to push a little bit beyond that, because I think I have a lot of readers.

01:37:51.820 I write for The New York Times obviously has, you know, a fairly secular readership.

01:37:55.400 I have a lot of readers who, yeah, it's an understatement.

01:37:59.120 Yeah, fine. Yeah. But but a lot of religious readers as well, I can assure you.

01:38:03.580 And but there's a lot of people who will go that far with you.

01:38:06.660 They'll say, yeah, religion, it's good for you.

01:38:09.260 It's good for you to it's good to take your kids to church, gives them a moral grounding.

01:38:13.080 It's good to, you know, have some faith and purpose in the universe.

01:38:16.560 But in the end, isn't it still kind of unreasonable?

01:38:21.980 And the case I'm making in the book is, no, in fact, the practical benefits of religion are there because religion is, in fact, a better description of reality than secularism and atheism.

01:38:35.000 And in fact, you know, there's a line attributed to the scientist John von Neumann, right?

01:38:40.440 He said something like there.

01:38:42.840 This is actually something he supposedly said to his mother.

01:38:45.160 So there's some debate about whether he said it or not.

01:38:48.380 But the line goes, you know, there probably is a God.

01:38:51.920 A lot of things make a lot more sense if there is one.

01:38:55.580 And that's what I'm trying to persuade people of here, that, in fact, it's not just that religion is good for you in an immediate day-to-day sense.

01:39:04.740 It's that it's good for you because there probably is a God.

01:39:10.200 You're probably going to meet him when you die.

01:39:11.980 You probably should be organizing your life to some degree around that reality.

01:39:17.520 And that is, in fact, the reasonable thing for people to do.

01:39:21.780 But wait, but wait, you know, that's like I've always joked, you know, if I'm an atheist, I'm just going to hedge my bet a little bit.

01:39:31.240 You know what I mean?

01:39:31.840 Right.

01:39:32.520 I'm going to live my life in a—

01:39:34.020 That's a self-wager.

01:39:34.700 Yeah, just in case.

01:39:35.740 Right.

01:39:36.320 So that's—but that's not what you're saying, is it?

01:39:40.920 Well, I am saying—so there's a kind of bet hedging where you're like, okay, you know, maybe there's a one in a thousand chance that there's a God.

01:39:49.480 And if there is that chance, I should pay attention to it because, you know, even a one in a thousand chance of entering eternity is a pretty big deal.

01:39:57.980 No, I'm going much further than that.

01:39:59.740 I'm saying there is a very, very strong probability that there is a God.

01:40:03.640 And that strong probability is the starting place for going out there, going to church, reading books, praying, and seeing if you can have a relationship with this God, right?

01:40:17.660 So in the end, you can't—look, you can't think your way to a relationship with God because it's a relationship.

01:40:23.580 But you can think and reason your way to the point where you can say, this is something I should be looking for.

01:40:30.220 This is something I should be doing.

01:40:32.020 It makes sense to seek, to knock, and see if the door is opened unto you.

01:40:37.740 All right, I've got a couple of questions left, but I need to take a one-minute break, and then I want to come back and have you just explore just one facet of what you just said.

01:40:48.060 There's a very, very, very good chance it's most likely that there is a God.

01:40:52.280 You say that with such conviction, and I can say that from my own personal experience, but how do you make that case to somebody who is an agnostic?

01:41:02.260 We'll get that answer here in just a second.

01:41:04.000 First, let me tell you about Lear Capital.

01:41:06.120 If you missed hour number one, you should go back and listen to it today on the podcast.

01:41:12.340 I talked about rehypothecation, which is so sexy.

01:41:15.400 I mean, everybody's like—everybody wants to talk about it.

01:41:17.920 I told you there's something happening with gold right now.

01:41:22.460 The amount of gold—there's shortages of it in London.

01:41:26.680 Somebody's buying an enormous amount of gold, and speculation is it might be us this time, which means something's happening and being planned for our currency and our finances and the way we run things.

01:41:44.840 As I told you yesterday, they're talking about repricing gold.

01:41:51.260 The United States has it on our books as $45 an ounce.

01:41:56.060 I don't know.

01:41:56.620 Maybe we should increase that at least to the actual price of $2,900.

01:42:00.660 It would make our balance sheets look better.

01:42:02.520 But they're talking about maybe even going further than that, $5,000, $10,000 for an ounce of gold.

01:42:07.860 What does that mean?

01:42:09.000 What's coming?

01:42:10.180 Please do your homework.

01:42:11.640 If somebody is shoring up for the future, and believe it or not, it might be our government, what do they know that you don't know?

01:42:19.200 A lot of stuff.

01:42:36.320 800-957-GOLD.

01:42:39.560 10 seconds.

01:42:40.200 Station ID.

01:42:41.640 So, in the book, you talk about being at a Christmas party in the mid-2000s, and you found yourself trapped in a kitchen with Christopher Hitchens.

01:43:02.560 And you tell an interesting story here that is kind of the genesis, if you will, of what you were putting together in the book.

01:43:13.780 But I don't know.

01:43:15.080 I want to ask you to tell that story, but I also want you to answer, and they may be related.

01:43:20.580 That's why I'm asking it this way.

01:43:21.980 How do you say that to somebody who doesn't believe there is a God or is completely agnostic that, no, no, no, there's a very, very, very good chance that there is God?

01:43:35.740 Right.

01:43:36.340 So, what Hitchens, who is, of course, one of the most famous atheists in the world at that point, said to me was something like, you know, suppose it was a bad English accent.

01:43:49.580 And I apologize, but suppose it was established that Jesus of Nazareth really did rise from the dead.

01:43:56.460 What would that really prove?

01:43:59.460 Right.

01:43:59.760 And so that was, I was a little taken aback.

01:44:02.880 It was late.

01:44:03.480 I didn't have a great response at the time.

01:44:05.500 Right.

01:44:06.180 And it's a Christmas party, so, I mean.

01:44:07.820 I think what that gets at, though, is this, you have people who, you know, will sort of go a little ways with the religious argument.

01:44:15.800 They'll say, okay, yeah, you know, it's interesting that the universe seems to have this, you know, this kind of design.

01:44:22.560 That's interesting.

01:44:23.520 Oh, you know, human consciousness is a little bit mysterious.

01:44:26.400 But they'll say, look, it can't add up to anything in the end.

01:44:31.020 Or it's all, you know, even if, like, some weird thing happened, some, you know, something that seems supernatural somewhere, right?

01:44:37.720 You know, that doesn't tell you what you should do with your own life.

01:44:42.740 And that's, I think, in a way, a fair argument.

01:44:45.860 But the response is basically that the reason to be religious doesn't lie in one single argument.

01:44:54.160 It's not like you open Thomas Aquinas, you find, you know, one philosophical case for the existence of God.

01:45:00.600 You set that down and you say, all right, it's set, it's done, you've got to be religious. 0.54

01:45:04.340 No, what it lies in is the convergence of a bunch of different lines of evidence.

01:45:08.960 You start with the evidence that the universe was designed and fine-tuned with us in mind.

01:45:14.460 Okay, that's pretty interesting.

01:45:15.920 Then you add the evidence that our consciousness has its own kind of supernatural capacities.

01:45:22.900 We were talking about, you know, quantum physics earlier, the relationship between mind and matter.

01:45:27.400 But there's also just the fact that the mind can do things that a purely material sort of, you know, things shouldn't be able to do, like penetrate the mysteries of the cosmos.

01:45:37.300 Okay, so the universe seems designed with us in mind.

01:45:40.300 Our minds seem designed to understand the universe.

01:45:43.800 And then, and this is important, and this is also where some secular people get off the bus, but it's important to make the argument.

01:45:50.400 You also have religious experience as a fundamental feature of human life that just doesn't go away if you declare the world to be secular, right?

01:46:01.160 There's this whole idea that the world is disenchanted, that, you know, we used to have fairies and ghosts and all these things, and now we're men of science and we don't.

01:46:09.200 That's just not true at all.

01:46:10.780 Official knowledge is disenchanted.

01:46:12.940 Like, if you go and read Wikipedia, you know, most of the people writing Wikipedia don't believe in the supernatural.

01:46:18.160 But you and I both know, Glenn, that people who go out looking for an encounter with God often have an encounter with God.

01:46:25.080 And in fact, people who aren't looking for one also have crazy, bizarre, fascinating things happen to them.

01:46:32.400 And there are supernatural things like near-death experiences that we know more about.

01:46:37.440 Because of modern science, we bring a lot more people back from the dead than we used to that we didn't know about in 1750 or 1450.

01:46:45.100 And to me, the addition of supernatural experience, it takes you from a world where you can say,

01:46:50.080 there's probably a God, but he might be distant and out of reach to a world where it's not.

01:46:56.580 I'm sorry to cut you off.

01:46:57.880 Ross Douthit, the name of the book.

01:47:00.840 This is Glenn Beck.

01:47:04.980 Believe.

01:47:05.840 Why everyone should be religious. 0.94

01:47:09.220 Great, great, great conversation.

01:47:10.900 Love to have him back.

01:47:11.800 All right, let me talk to you about real estate agents I trust.

01:47:14.700 A recent report from the Consumer Federation of America showed many real estate companies

01:47:19.480 and their agencies hire indiscriminately than they fail to adequately train and supervise their new agents.

01:47:25.520 So through lax hiring and training, many companies sponsor agents that have too little knowledge and experience to adequately serve their customers.

01:47:35.760 I'm still quoting.

01:47:37.920 Homebuyers and sellers benefit from considering recent sales experience and customer evaluations before hiring an agent.

01:47:45.240 You don't think of hiring a real estate agent, but that's what you're doing.

01:47:49.720 You don't think of interviewing them.

01:47:51.900 This is why I started realestateagentsitrust.com because most people don't know how to interview a real estate agent.

01:47:58.940 They don't know what the best practices are.

01:48:00.940 They don't know how to find that really great real estate agent that gives it their all

01:48:06.160 and can turn your housing experience from horrible into great.

01:48:13.220 I don't charge you for this service.

01:48:26.700 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:48:44.040 Most Americans have been aware that Anthony Fauci, since the COVID pandemic really took off in 2020,

01:48:51.540 we realized who he was.

01:48:53.680 But Dr. Richard Enbright, he's a molecular biologist from Rutgers University.

01:49:01.260 He has had Fauci on his radar since 2001.

01:49:05.760 Do you remember the anthrax scare?

01:49:08.080 Dick Cheney stepped in at that point and said, we need to find all of the different biological weapons that could be used,

01:49:22.340 and we need to start funding biodefense.

01:49:27.900 Now, it was at that time solely in the realm of the Department of Defense.

01:49:33.920 Was the Department of Defense doing it?

01:49:37.200 Probably.

01:49:38.320 But it had been banned.

01:49:40.560 In 2001, after the anthrax, all of a sudden, Dick Cheney goes to Anthony Fauci, and he says,

01:49:49.740 I want you to run this program, and you will oversee all of it, and you can do what you want.

01:49:56.820 And Fauci said, gain a function.

01:50:00.840 And Cheney said, yep, okay, good.

01:50:03.380 That sounds great.

01:50:05.040 But Fauci was put, allowed, I should say, to be in a black box.

01:50:12.040 And the anthrax actually came from a government laboratory and an employee that had an ax to grind.

01:50:23.260 Did you even know that?

01:50:24.060 It's been a long time.

01:50:27.660 It's been a long time, right?

01:50:28.160 I don't remember the details of it.

01:50:29.780 Yeah, so that was caused by the government doing experiments on anthrax.

01:50:37.620 And we have several of these.

01:50:40.060 The swine, I think it's the swine flu, the bird flu that's going around right now, also lab leaks.

01:50:47.140 And it's just embarrassment after embarrassment, and Fauci keeps getting away with it.

01:50:54.160 The Spanish flu, do you remember when they brought the Spanish flu back? 1.00

01:50:58.220 It was completely dead.

01:51:00.060 There was no Spanish flu.

01:51:01.380 We dug people up to get samples so we could recreate the Spanish flu. 0.99

01:51:07.600 Why would we do that?

01:51:08.960 So Matt Kibbe and Richard Ebright, who is this fascinating professor, he has been following Fauci the whole time.

01:51:20.680 He's been trying to demand an end to the dark research and the corruption and the fraud of Anthony Fauci.

01:51:27.840 He tells the whole story of the smoking gun.

01:51:34.660 This came from a lab, gang, and we knew it.

01:51:39.100 We knew it.

01:51:40.400 Tonight, episode four of the cover-up, Smoking Gun, on Blaze TV.

01:52:03.860 This is a really good documentary.

01:52:07.080 Really, really good.

01:52:08.560 My wife and I, we watched it, and she just doesn't.

01:52:15.600 She watches the show.

01:52:16.820 She listens to my show.

01:52:18.380 She'll listen to the news, but she doesn't live it like I do.

01:52:21.300 She was really tired, and I had to go to bed, and I had to watch this like three weeks ago just so I was aware of everything.

01:52:31.260 I put it on my iPad next to the bed stand, and I'm just going to go to sleep and watch it as I fall asleep.

01:52:39.360 And all of a sudden, I feel her head on my shoulder, and she's rolled over, and she's got her head on my shoulder, and she's watching it.

01:52:48.360 And she keeps saying, oh, my gosh.

01:52:51.920 Oh, my gosh.

01:52:53.400 You've got to be kidding me.

01:52:55.180 What?

01:52:55.640 And there's a lot of places in this documentary that I said that.

01:53:00.640 A lot of this stuff was very, very satisfying because it is now final confirmation of all of the things that we exposed about COVID-19.

01:53:11.520 But it's worse than we thought.

01:53:15.840 It is a God complex, and this has got to stop.

01:53:21.160 Got to stop.

01:53:22.500 So make sure you watch it.

01:53:23.860 It premieres tonight on Blaze TV.

01:53:27.140 Do we have the trailer?

01:53:28.160 Can we play the trailer real quick?

01:53:29.660 Here it is.

01:53:30.420 It is inconceivable that I was trying to cover up the possibility of a lab leak.

01:53:36.460 President Biden has pardoned Anthony Fauci.

01:53:39.380 The gain-of-function research was going on in that lab, and NIH funded it.

01:53:43.160 You do not know what you are talking about.

01:53:45.380 Why did Biden give Fauci a blank check going back to 2014?

01:53:49.640 There was pushback on Anthony Fauci, who had been a much respected figure.

01:53:55.320 The highest paid employee in the federal government.

01:53:58.400 Why, they asked NIAID director, Dr. Fauci, why, again, are you funding such research?

01:54:04.420 And why are you doing it without a risk-benefit assessment?

01:54:08.580 In October of 2014, the NIH sent letters, cease and desist letters, to the research organizations

01:54:17.180 carrying out those projects, saying that research should be paused.

01:54:20.660 But it existed primarily on paper.

01:54:25.160 CDC workers somehow lost track of samples.

01:54:27.800 Leaking box vials labeled smallpox.

01:54:30.720 The dangerous H5N1. 0.98

01:54:32.680 One of history's most feared viruses.

01:54:34.400 Recreate the Spanish flu. 0.99

01:54:35.660 The failings go deeper.

01:54:36.880 Cross-contaminated samples and sent the sample.

01:54:39.340 Workers in three labs handled one of the most deadly strains of anthrax.

01:54:43.660 Participated in a conspiracy to defraud the public about the origin, in a conspiracy to cover up the origin.

01:54:49.700 Each time, Fauci's response has been to double down and say, we did the right thing.

01:54:57.540 The cover-up airs tonight.

01:55:00.240 It begins, you can stream it anytime you want.

01:55:03.240 Looks really good.

01:55:03.880 Yeah, it's really, you haven't seen it yet?

01:55:05.600 No.

01:55:06.060 It's really good.

01:55:07.360 Really good.

01:55:08.420 By the way, the anthrax guy was looking at the details on that, because you're reminding me.

01:55:13.500 And they go through, what's the official explanation?

01:55:16.380 Because I remember it being really close to 9-11 and thinking it was part of that.

01:55:19.700 Yeah.

01:55:19.900 And they say, basically, no, it wasn't.

01:55:21.200 It wasn't.

01:55:21.660 But one of the main things they say, the doctor who wound up killing himself in 2008, why he sent the anthrax.

01:55:30.060 He had a history of mental health problems, including symptoms of paranoia, obsessive actions, and bipolar disorder.

01:55:36.040 Maybe not the guy to hire to deal with the anthrax.

01:55:38.580 I don't know.

01:55:39.080 I'm just going to throw that out there.

01:55:40.840 Americans with disabilities.

01:55:42.120 Yeah, I know.

01:55:43.060 Pete Buttigieg would be very upset.

01:55:45.060 Exactly right.

01:55:45.800 Because he didn't hire any paranoid, bipolar obsessives to deal with.

01:55:50.840 What you understand about this is any time that these things have escaped a lab, it's because of a disgruntled, crazy person, or sloppiness by somebody at the lab.

01:56:03.300 So, when you have, these things should be at the highest level security, because there's no cure for some of this stuff, highest level of security.

01:56:13.460 And there should be maybe one or two labs, because you can control those, and the world can watch and make sure everything is handled right.

01:56:22.500 But every time one of these things has happened, it's escaped, because somebody was like the, was it the bird flu?

01:56:32.980 I can't remember.

01:56:33.760 They were working on one of these things, and somebody wanted to go home early.

01:56:40.700 You know, it was like coming up at 5 o'clock, and they're like, I got to get home.

01:56:43.820 I want to leave.

01:56:44.660 And they got sloppy, and it got out, because they were sloppy.

01:56:50.280 The more, the more of these labs we have around the world, the more likely it is we wipe ourself out, okay?

01:56:58.860 And we had these in Ukraine, Ukraine.

01:57:04.080 I don't know if they still exist.

01:57:08.220 I don't know what was in them.

01:57:10.140 I've heard that we just took blowtorches to those places to destroy all the evidence, but also to hopefully kill all the bacteria.

01:57:17.740 But that's not a good place to have this stuff.

01:57:23.140 What are we doing?

01:57:24.100 Even before the war.

01:57:25.300 Oh, yeah, I know.

01:57:26.380 I know.

01:57:26.960 Pretty clear that Ukraine was in the side eye of Russia there for a while.

01:57:32.040 Did you hear about the relative of J.D. Vance, distant relative, but she's 12 years old.

01:57:38.980 She had to have a heart transplant, and Cincinnati Children's Hospital wouldn't give her the heart transplant because she hadn't had the COVID vaccine.

01:57:48.460 And the parents are like, no, we don't believe in the vaccine.

01:57:52.640 We don't want the vaccine.

01:57:53.720 So they took her off the list of a heart transplant. 0.99

01:57:57.380 12-year-old girl.

01:57:58.340 I don't know if anybody, even maybe the family, knew they were directly related to J.D. Vance, but this is going to turn into a nightmare for this hospital, as it should.

01:58:10.160 Yeah, that's not a good reason for it.

01:58:11.620 It has nothing to do with J.D. Vance.

01:58:13.220 It's a terrible reason to do that.

01:58:15.460 I mean, I understand if you're an active alcoholic and you need a kidney transplant.

01:58:21.440 No, I don't think we're going to give you a good kidney, you know, you blew through yours.

01:58:27.420 You'll be back here in two weeks needing a new one.

01:58:29.120 Yeah, you'll need a new one.

01:58:30.300 So, no, you have to do things to change your life.

01:58:32.640 But the COVID vaccine?

01:58:34.220 Yeah, it's horrible.

01:58:35.200 Well, and this is something that our new HHS secretary, RFK Jr., who was just confirmed, by the way.

01:58:40.120 Just confirmed.

01:58:41.080 Yep.

01:58:42.100 He will be, I think, have a laser focus on.

01:58:44.980 I won't agree with him on probably some of the stuff that he does, but I will be very much behind him on efforts like that.

01:58:50.620 But certainly shouldn't be taking children off of heart transplant lists because they didn't get the COVID vaccine, which, again, there's no evidence that they would need it.

01:58:59.280 Yeah, I know.

01:59:00.600 I have to, I really am anxious for you to watch this because I don't think you've ever thought Fauci was a good guy, but I don't know if you ever thought that he was really, really dark and nefarious.

01:59:13.080 Yeah, I mean, I don't like a lot of the stuff that he did.

01:59:15.260 I think he quite clearly was lying about all of this.

01:59:18.980 So, I mean, I think nefarious is a fair description as to how he handled this situation.

01:59:23.420 I don't know that I think of him as, like, the, you know, the source of all genocide, as some do on the right.

01:59:31.540 Oh, I think you will.

01:59:32.340 Many do.

01:59:33.020 When you watch this, when you see there is no medical reason for us to be doing these things.

01:59:40.600 I don't know that I agree with that.

01:59:43.260 No, because we're not making vaccines.

01:59:47.040 We are making disease.

01:59:49.880 This is the thing that Russia used to do. 0.98

01:59:52.060 The Soviet Union used to do. 0.89

01:59:53.340 Remember Ken Al, what was his name?

01:59:55.020 Albek.

01:59:55.520 Yeah.

01:59:56.140 He was the head of the Russian.

01:59:58.940 Soviet.

01:59:59.620 Yeah, Soviet biological warfare. 0.62

02:00:01.560 And he said the difference between America and the Soviet Union is we were making disease worse and we were trying to make it kill more people and be more, you know, the transmission, human to human transmission to be, you know, as close to 100 as we could get.

02:00:19.240 He said, but America, they only worked on diseases to try to find the antidote in case it was used.

02:00:28.300 We're not doing that.

02:00:30.260 Yeah.

02:00:30.520 No, and I think, because I think gain of function research is theoretically justifiable.

02:00:37.080 Watch this, Doug.

02:00:37.780 I don't think you will.

02:00:39.120 But it's not pragmatically justifiable.

02:00:41.940 Like, in theory, I can understand why you'd want to see what the worst nature has to offer is, and we should really look at that, because that could happen, and we better have something to fight back against it.

02:00:53.280 I can understand that line of thought.

02:00:55.080 Wait, wait, wait.

02:00:55.880 We should see the worst that nature can give, but then we should not take that and soup it up to make it transmissible in humans.

02:01:07.180 In theory, again, in theory, I can understand, because those things do happen naturally sometimes.

02:01:13.060 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:01:13.280 And so to try to get ahead of that and plan for it is theoretically, again, important phrase, justifiable.

02:01:21.360 And it's justifiable specifically if you're Fauci and you think you are science.

02:01:26.200 Yes.

02:01:26.420 You think you could control this.

02:01:27.780 Oh, no, I know these doctors.

02:01:29.200 I know these labs.

02:01:30.640 And in theory, you could see how a person like that would say, of course we can control this.

02:01:35.160 We are science.

02:01:35.980 In reality, a different calculation that you have to factor in here, it doesn't work.

02:01:42.860 You can't do this.

02:01:44.060 There's too many leaks.

02:01:45.500 People are imperfect.

02:01:46.500 They want to go home at 5 o'clock.

02:01:47.920 They get sloppy.

02:01:49.340 So no, don't do it.

02:01:51.360 But in theory, it's only justifiable.

02:01:54.400 In theory, I agree with everything you just said.

02:01:56.600 In theory, it's not justifiable unless you're trying to make the antidote.

02:02:03.420 Right.

02:02:03.760 You're trying to figure out how to prepare in case this happens.

02:02:07.820 You create something that you think might happen in nature.

02:02:12.080 Okay.

02:02:12.340 Let's see if it can infect humans or human mice.

02:02:15.240 Now, let's make the antidote to kill that. 0.89

02:02:19.460 So in case it ever does happen. 0.79

02:02:21.680 But we're not doing that.

02:02:22.860 I got to watch this.

02:02:23.460 What is the justification of what Fauci and the NIH and everybody else has been doing?

02:02:31.060 What's the justification?

02:03:45.520 You want the truth unfiltered?

02:03:49.840 Pull up a chair, my friend.

02:03:52.180 You're in the right place.

02:03:54.640 This is Glenn Beck.

02:04:15.520 52-48 for RFK Jr. confirmed.

02:04:20.140 That means who was the Republican against?

02:04:23.440 All the Democrats plus McConnell.

02:04:25.060 Same as Tulsi yesterday, which I think is actually vitally important.

02:04:29.180 Something really important you can take out of that, which is McConnell doesn't have a

02:04:32.960 contingency anymore.

02:04:34.860 Like he was when he was leader.

02:04:36.200 He had really close friends that would go with him kind of on everything.

02:04:39.820 And he now no longer has that contingency.

02:04:44.900 He couldn't get one other senator to come with him on either of those votes.

02:04:48.580 That's really notable.

02:04:49.860 Yeah.

02:04:50.560 His power is over, which means the regime or the what else would you call it?

02:04:58.600 The establishment.

02:04:59.020 The establishment is now with Trump.

02:05:01.260 Yes.

02:05:02.100 And that's and I think.

02:05:03.660 Not everlasting.

02:05:04.760 Yeah, that's not everlasting.

02:05:06.140 But it is.

02:05:06.340 It's happening right now, the first sign of, you know, trouble on the horizon for Donald

02:05:12.120 Trump, you know, a bad skip in the economy or something else.

02:05:16.820 All that all those people will regather and be against Trump.

02:05:22.320 But right now, he's the establishment right now.

02:05:25.180 Nobody's really standing in his way, at least in a vocal way, a public way, except Mitch McConnell.

02:05:36.920 And no one is standing with McConnell.

02:05:40.040 That's really good news.

02:05:49.280 This is Glenn Beck.
