00:00:30.000 Let me tell you about Good Ranchers. They're our spotlight sponsor.

00:00:31.980 Did you know there used to be a country of origin labeling law which kept you from falsely applying the Made in the USA sticker to your meat if it wasn't actually from here?

00:00:41.920 Well, that got repealed.

00:00:43.500 So these days, meat in the grocery aisle is a suspect.

00:00:46.320 You don't know where it's coming from.

00:00:47.460 And 85% of grass-fed beef in stores is imported from overseas.

00:00:52.860 Do you like that? Probably not.

00:00:55.120 And if you like Good Ranchers, and you know all about this already, they're committed to 100% all-American meats.

00:01:01.140 Their products are born, raised, and harvested right here in the U.S. and are free from antibiotics, hormones, seed oils, all that stuff.

00:01:08.600 So no shortcuts, no compromises, just the quality you deserve.

00:01:11.960 When you buy from Good Ranchers, you're supporting American farmers and ranchers who have fed this country for generations.

00:02:31.300 Isn't it though?

00:02:32.720 Welcome to it.

00:02:33.920 It is Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:02:37.600 We have been joined for the first time in the last few days by perhaps, I would guess, the most obnoxious person on the face of the planet right now.

00:02:47.360 Ah!

00:02:48.560 That's right.

00:02:49.700 Sadly, Stubergears Eagles won the Super Bowl.

00:02:53.820 And they didn't just win.

00:02:55.600 Jeez.

00:02:56.360 They crushed the Chiefs.

00:02:58.560 We'll get into that.

00:02:59.320 And so much more.

00:03:00.180 There's so much to get into.

00:03:01.660 And we'll do that in 60 seconds.

00:03:03.300 So, before we do that, just a moment, I want you to think about what it would look like to be out of debt.

00:03:08.760 It would kind of feel like your team winning the Super Bowl on your birthday.

00:03:12.400 That's what it would be like.

00:03:14.360 That's right.

00:03:14.980 Happy birthday, too.

00:03:15.920 Thank you.

00:03:16.300 By the way.

00:03:16.660 What?

00:03:17.040 Two days ago.

00:03:17.780 Yeah.

00:03:18.020 Yeah.

00:03:18.160 Two days ago.

00:03:19.700 So, it's a fun day.

00:03:21.620 And it was a lot of good stuff coming together.

00:03:24.020 Oh, that was the Super Bowl day.

00:03:25.640 It was the Super Bowl day.

00:03:26.860 That was a nice little present for you, wasn't it?

00:03:28.460 It was.

00:03:29.180 It was great.

00:03:30.000 It was incredible.

00:03:30.900 It was incredible.

00:03:32.320 I guess that's what it feels like when you just get out of debt for that first time.

00:03:35.260 I remember doing that.

00:03:36.180 First time getting out of debt.

00:03:37.820 We went to, this is back in the day.

00:03:40.160 You can see how long it was ago back in the day.

00:03:42.000 We went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse to celebrate.

00:03:44.340 Got immediately back into debt with that meal.

00:03:47.260 But it was a lot of fun.

00:03:48.820 American Financing is a great place if you want to get to that position.

00:03:51.940 Because they can help you refinance your debt.

00:03:53.860 They can help you work through it.

00:03:55.160 Imagine saving up to $800 a month on all those payments.

00:03:58.040 Give yourself a $10,000 raise.

00:03:59.600 That's how it feels like when you can get all these high-interest loans to go away.

00:04:04.840 It's a big, big change in your life.

00:04:06.700 And it can lead to so much.

00:04:32.240 Super Bowl 59.

00:04:34.220 Kind of went your way.

00:04:35.220 Yes!

00:04:35.960 Didn't it?

00:04:36.500 Gosh, it was the greatest.

00:04:38.260 It was the greatest, Pat.

00:04:39.920 I noticed Glenn didn't bother showing up today.

00:04:42.180 No.

00:04:42.760 Right.

00:04:43.020 It's interesting.

00:04:43.900 It is interesting.

00:04:44.440 I'm a Mr. Big Chiefs fan.

00:04:45.600 No show today, huh?

00:04:48.180 Did you talk to him about it yesterday?

00:04:50.880 Yeah, we talked.

00:04:51.440 Yes, we did.

00:04:52.100 And how did he feel?

00:04:53.640 Can you give me a little sense?

00:04:54.760 He was a little bummed.

00:04:55.480 Yeah?

00:04:56.020 Yeah.

00:04:56.260 The Super Bowl party at his house ended rather abruptly at halftime.

00:05:01.940 I did get a report that the ranch was a bit solemn.

00:05:04.740 Yeah.

00:05:05.020 That was the report I got from the ranch, which it made me a little happy.

00:05:08.720 And again, look, the Chiefs have had so much success.

00:05:11.440 They have.

00:05:12.620 Yeah, they have.

00:05:13.280 The first time I went to the Super Bowl was the Eagles in, you know, early 2000s against

00:05:17.200 the Patriots.

00:05:18.520 And the Patriots, like, you'd think, oh, that team's going to bust on you on the way home

00:05:22.600 on the, you know, on the bus.

00:05:24.380 You're like, they're going to be all over you and just be like, oh, yeah, our team got

00:05:27.160 your team.

00:05:27.840 Not at all.

00:05:28.260 They were like, hey, you know, you guys did well.

00:05:30.000 Good job getting to this game.

00:05:31.400 Because the Patriots were so used to it at that point.

00:05:34.020 Yeah.

00:05:34.220 You know, they'd won, you know, three or four Super Bowls or whatever it was.

00:05:37.360 And that's kind of where the Chiefs are.

00:05:38.480 They're like, we're probably going to win five more of these things.

00:05:40.960 So good job, you know, like that.

00:05:42.420 They're great fans.

00:05:43.880 And it's a great organization.

00:05:45.320 Mahomes is awesome.

00:05:46.200 It's a great team.

00:05:47.360 It is.

00:05:48.420 They've got a great coach who used to be the coach of the team you love.

00:05:51.880 I know.

00:05:52.360 And it would have been tough to see him take away another Super Bowl from the Eagles.

00:05:56.720 Isn't he the only coach who's ever been the coach with the most wins at two franchises?

00:06:08.240 Being Philadelphia and Kansas City.

00:06:10.340 That sounds right.

00:06:11.240 Yeah.

00:06:11.600 Yeah.

00:06:12.020 I think he's the only one ever.

00:06:13.440 He's the only one also who has a shot at getting the all-time win record.

00:06:17.540 Yeah.

00:06:17.660 He keeps going on this race.

00:06:19.400 He's only, what, 30 games or something behind.

00:06:21.700 Yeah.

00:06:22.380 Chiefs are great.

00:06:23.240 And if you're a Chiefs fan, I feel for you.

00:06:25.080 Although, you know, you've had your run here, which is great.

00:06:28.400 It was good to see, though, the Eagles, I mean, really dominated that game from the very beginning.

00:06:32.260 It was just a bad game.

00:06:33.900 I said yesterday, I think only Eagles fans could have enjoyed that.

00:06:37.560 Yeah, I could see that.

00:06:38.360 It wasn't fun.

00:06:40.840 It was an absolute domination.

00:06:43.080 It was a beatdown.

00:06:43.960 Yeah.

00:06:44.440 It really was.

00:06:45.460 I mean, they got a couple garbage time touchdowns at the very end to make the score look a little

00:06:48.860 respectable.

00:06:49.780 But jeez, it was absolute.

00:06:50.880 It was not a 40-22 game.

00:06:52.620 It was more like a 40-6 game.

00:06:54.460 Yeah.

00:06:54.640 And I understand that, like, you know, this is not a sports show when we could do, I could

00:06:58.080 do a sports talk on this all day long.

00:07:01.020 But I will say it was fascinating to see.

00:07:03.740 It was just an absolute destruction.

00:07:06.980 And it was, it's different.

00:07:09.480 I think every Super Bowl, you know, we've been doing these things for a long time.

00:07:12.560 I was at my 20th Super Bowl.

00:07:14.280 20?

00:07:14.800 So, yeah.

00:07:15.300 We were trying to figure that out the other day, how many you'd actually been to.

00:07:17.980 20.

00:07:18.340 20 Super Bowls.

00:07:19.560 Nice.

00:07:19.820 Did you wait again until the last minute to get the tickets?

00:07:22.900 Or did you have them when you went?

00:07:24.220 This one was, we got them, that was pretty last minute.

00:07:28.240 It's always last minute.

00:07:29.680 Yeah.

00:07:30.140 You know, I don't want to advise people too much on this because it would cost money for

00:07:35.840 me.

00:07:36.340 But basically, like, what happens every single Super Bowl, if your team's ever going to go,

00:07:41.260 I'll give you this because I want people in this audience to get better values.

00:07:45.400 What happens is your team wins the championship game.

00:07:48.640 Everyone gets really excited.

00:07:51.000 They go, oh my gosh, my team's in the Super Bowl.

00:07:53.660 We should go!

00:07:55.140 And they pump themselves up.

00:07:56.880 And over the next 24 to 48 hours, they decide to go buy tickets.

00:08:01.620 Yeah.

00:08:01.760 And so, that is almost always where the highest price tickets go.

00:08:06.640 24 to 48 hours after the championship games.

00:08:09.140 Because the teams in those cities are, but we got to go.

00:08:11.440 What are we going to do?

00:08:12.160 And now, I will say, if your wife is going to say no, and you need the emotion to get

00:08:18.040 over that hump, okay, you can buy them that day.

00:08:21.280 But it's going to be crazy.

00:08:22.400 You're going to pay the highest price possible.

00:08:24.080 The lowest prices are typically Tuesday to Thursday before the game.

00:08:30.200 So, skip that whole first week.

00:08:31.520 Of Super Bowl week?

00:08:31.980 Yeah.

00:08:32.280 Skip that whole first week.

00:08:33.780 And you go Tuesday to Thursday.

00:08:35.140 This game in particular was a really weird situation because the prices were really low.

00:08:40.760 This is probably the lowest priced Super Bowl as compared to face value that I can remember.

00:08:48.580 Really?

00:08:48.940 Years and years and years and years.

00:08:50.000 Part of that is probably Chiefs fatigue.

00:08:52.220 Part of it is Eagles versus Chiefs.

00:08:53.820 Both of those teams have been there recently.

00:08:56.400 If it was Detroit Buffalo or something, the tickets, I'm sure, would have been sky high.

00:09:00.580 Yeah.

00:09:00.720 The other thing was, I don't know if they're just using more and more hotel rooms.

00:09:06.140 Um, in these cities because the operation is getting so much even bigger than it used to be.

00:09:10.520 But, and also that New Orleans is a city.

00:09:13.620 They've had their issues.

00:09:14.460 I don't know if you've heard this, Pat.

00:09:15.580 Uh, over the past 20 years or so, there have been some incidents that have, um, hurt the growth of New Orleans.

00:09:23.380 No.

00:09:23.960 Yeah.

00:09:24.400 Yeah.

00:09:24.620 Let me give you an example of this.

00:09:25.620 So, after, uh, after the game on Monday, you know, my son and I, we have got like an hour to kill before we go to the airport.

00:09:30.940 Which, by the way, was a terrible idea because we did not have an hour to kill because I've never seen an airport like that.

00:09:35.120 In my entire life.

00:09:35.800 After going to 20 Super Bowls, never seen a worse airport.

00:09:37.940 It was a madhouse.

00:09:40.520 And we had to run to get our flight.

00:09:42.440 And I, the only reason we made it was because it was delayed.

00:09:44.900 Anyway.

00:09:45.620 Wow.

00:09:45.880 We had this supposed hour to kill.

00:09:47.580 And I'm like, what I want to go do is drive by Six Flags, New Orleans.

00:09:53.160 So, cause Six Flags, New Orleans was a amusement park that they built in like the early 2000, I want to say 2002, 2003.

00:10:01.780 And then a couple of years after they built it, there was this issue with a little storm that rolled in.

00:10:07.800 Yeah.

00:10:08.300 And kind of wiped the city out.

00:10:10.220 So, they just gave up on it.

00:10:12.160 Like it was built, it was open.

00:10:14.180 They closed it for the weekend and it never opened again.

00:10:16.920 Never reopened.

00:10:17.400 Nope.

00:10:18.040 Wow.

00:10:18.440 A whole amusement park.

00:10:19.580 Wow.

00:10:20.000 And so, it's to the point now, and I'm fascinated with this type of stuff where.

00:10:23.480 Do they maintain it or do they do anything with it?

00:10:25.760 No.

00:10:25.860 They just let it go?

00:10:26.760 There was a couple, there was a talk at the very beginning.

00:10:29.140 Wow.

00:10:29.220 What do we do?

00:10:29.800 Do we rebuild?

00:10:30.860 And they eventually got to the point where like, nope, it's just, it's going to be White

00:10:34.060 Elephant.

00:10:34.700 It's really interesting.

00:10:35.640 Yeah.

00:10:36.120 So, you could drive by it on the highway and there's just a giant roller coaster that just

00:10:42.000 kind of starts going down the drop and then just the track stops and it just drops off

00:10:45.960 and there's nothing.

00:10:46.960 There's like Ferris wheels with carts at the top just missing.

00:10:51.540 Right?

00:10:51.760 Just at some point fell off.

00:10:54.480 You know, all the, it's all just.

00:10:56.580 So, track has actually broken off.

00:10:59.180 Yeah.

00:10:59.460 Or did they just not finish it in the first place?

00:11:00.860 No, it was done.

00:11:01.840 It was done.

00:11:02.720 It had been open, I believe.

00:11:04.100 Wow.

00:11:04.440 And it was totally done and it was going to be open the next weekend.

00:11:07.340 That's what they were planning.

00:11:08.180 And then they just never went back.

00:11:09.680 Wow.

00:11:09.780 So, there's been some people who have broken in and taken real footage of the inside.

00:11:12.880 Oh, yeah.

00:11:13.180 It's fascinating to look at.

00:11:14.340 There's a documentary made on and stuff.

00:11:16.060 It's one of those things I like.

00:11:17.380 I'll go nerd out.

00:11:17.700 This afternoon, I'm watching that documentary.

00:11:19.860 That is fascinating.

00:11:20.860 This is you too?

00:11:21.380 Yeah.

00:11:21.720 Okay.

00:11:22.180 I'm going to be down that rabbit hole for sure.

00:11:24.240 We do have a couple of those same weird interests.

00:11:27.380 Yeah, we do.

00:11:27.700 Like really tall buildings.

00:11:29.460 Like there's a couple of things.

00:11:31.020 Pat and I always have 45-minute conversations about like,

00:11:33.460 do you see the skyscraper they're building in Saudi Arabia?

00:11:36.020 So, I didn't know this was one of yours.

00:11:38.320 Yes, it is.

00:11:39.360 There's the abandoned photography.

00:11:42.420 Like I buy books on it.

00:11:44.120 I think it's fascinating.

00:11:45.360 These, you know, modern things that get abandoned and just decay.

00:11:49.300 So, I was fascinated to go see this.

00:11:51.660 And so, I went out to that and drove by it, which it was as expected.

00:11:54.960 You can't see that much from the highway, but it is really, really interesting to look at.

00:11:58.360 And so, I went down to the next exit and turned around.

00:12:01.120 Pat, if I were to describe to you like an apocalyptic scene from a movie.

00:12:07.440 I'm looking at some of the photos now.

00:12:09.020 Yeah.

00:12:09.600 It's incredible to see that park.

00:12:11.700 It's really something.

00:12:12.420 Jeez.

00:12:12.800 But that one I knew about.

00:12:14.320 I had seen the insides.

00:12:15.860 You know, it is really, really incredible.

00:12:17.820 The next exit, I turned around.

00:12:21.460 Pat, I've never seen anything like it.

00:12:23.020 It had looked like no one had been there in 15 years off of an exit off a major highway.

00:12:28.800 Really?

00:12:28.940 And it is on both sides of the off-ramp.

00:12:32.960 You know, the little turnaround when you just come back to go the other way?

00:12:35.020 Both sides of it just stacked up tires all over the place.

00:12:42.260 Sofas, you know, it looked like there was stuff here and it just all washed into this

00:12:50.080 area and they just never bothered to pick it up.

00:12:52.200 I've never seen anything like it.

00:12:53.760 In the United States of America.

00:12:54.960 It felt like I was in some war-torn land.

00:12:59.680 I mean, seriously, it was the most bizarre thing.

00:13:02.000 And I'm just driving through this and I was like, it was creepy.

00:13:04.200 It was 10 out of 10 creepy.

00:13:06.040 10 out of 10 creepy.

00:13:07.940 Wow.

00:13:08.100 And I'm just like, I'm driving through this.

00:13:09.740 The streets just had stuff all over them as if there hadn't been a car that had driven

00:13:15.660 off of this exit in 15 years.

00:13:17.220 How do you let that happen?

00:13:18.400 How do you let that happen?

00:13:19.460 It was really, it's depressing.

00:13:20.880 A lot of the city, and parts of it are great.

00:13:25.040 And, you know, of course the downtown, they did a great job.

00:13:27.200 The Superbowl is, you know, that downtown area is tough to beat from a central party

00:13:33.040 area, obviously.

00:13:34.340 Like, you know, it's got, it's positives.

00:13:37.120 But it is, you realize, you know, it's completely devastated.

00:13:40.640 So there's not like a lot of new hotels.

00:13:42.500 There's not a lot of stuff down there.

00:13:43.760 So the tickets for the game wound up going down partially because the tickets for,

00:13:49.900 or tickets, the rooms in these hotels were so expensive.

00:13:53.760 That people were looking at me like, Hey, I want to go down to the Superbowl.

00:13:57.620 Oh, I can't get a room anywhere in the city for even a mildly normal price for a hotel.

00:14:02.660 Like even, even with the expanded typical Superbowl prices, they were through the roof.

00:14:07.520 And so it was a weird, it was a weird, you know, city.

00:14:12.020 We were kind of, we stayed out, we stayed 10, 15 minutes out of the city, which made it a lot easier.

00:14:16.560 But it was, it was a, it's a strange environment.

00:14:19.520 And I've never seen security like it.

00:14:22.900 I, I, well, they just had terrorism there.

00:14:25.540 They had a terrorist attack.

00:14:26.360 And there was a, there's a guy who went to the game, pretty famous, Donald Trump.

00:14:30.420 So between those two things.

00:14:32.060 That's true.

00:14:32.560 Yeah.

00:14:32.820 In the city.

00:14:33.720 Holy crap, man.

00:14:34.860 It was, it was serious.

00:14:36.000 They took it seriously and they, they did a great job with the security.

00:14:38.760 His welcome was pretty impressive.

00:14:41.620 Really impressive.

00:14:42.100 Was it not?

00:14:42.500 Yeah.

00:14:42.820 I mean, it was very positive.

00:14:43.840 He gets wildly cheered and Taylor Swift gets wildly booed.

00:14:48.220 Yeah.

00:14:48.900 Did it feel that way in the stadium?

00:14:50.740 Yeah.

00:14:51.540 Sort of.

00:14:52.180 The Trump thing did feel that way.

00:14:53.920 Very, he got on the screen, initial, immediate, really strong applause.

00:14:59.120 A little bit, you could hear a little bit of negative after the positive, like in the stadium.

00:15:04.100 It wasn't overwhelming.

00:15:05.120 I would say it was, it felt like a, you know, 70, 30, 80, 20 type of thing that was positive.

00:15:10.240 The Taylor Swift thing felt, I think, totally different in the stadium than it did to people

00:15:14.540 that I've seen reaction on.

00:15:16.240 Yeah.

00:15:16.400 Where everyone's like, oh, she got booed.

00:15:17.340 I know Trump was kind of going after her for getting booed and played the foot back.

00:15:20.240 In the stadium, it felt very good natured.

00:15:22.960 Really?

00:15:23.160 I've heard Philadelphia Eagles fans boo stuff before.

00:15:26.280 Usually their own coach.

00:15:28.640 So I've heard that.

00:15:30.100 I've heard the visceral hatred of somebody.

00:15:32.300 That is not what it felt like.

00:15:33.600 It felt kind of like, look, she's, she's an Eagles fan.

00:15:38.460 She grew up outside of Philadelphia.

00:15:40.540 Probably going to marry an Eagle or a Kansas City Chiefs.

00:15:43.120 But she's going to marry a Chief and she's now wearing a Chief.

00:15:45.940 It was like, all right, you turncoat.

00:15:48.060 We, you know, we know.

00:15:49.120 It was sort of that sort of vibe.

00:15:50.800 It was much more like.

00:15:51.940 I didn't know she used to be an Eagles fan.

00:15:53.700 Yeah.

00:15:53.780 She grew up in, I think, Redding, which is right outside of Philly.

00:15:56.660 She was an Eagles fan her whole life.

00:15:58.560 And then, you know, she's dating Travis Kelsey.

00:16:00.720 So she's wearing the Chiefs thing.

00:16:02.080 Again, I, you know, would any, would I do that for love?

00:16:05.100 No, but I understand that some would.

00:16:08.980 And so it was, honestly, it felt kind of good natured.

00:16:13.000 Like we're going to boo her.

00:16:14.280 And then like, she also played it off.

00:16:16.380 I thought very well.

00:16:17.260 Like she kind of made this sort of side eye or like, are you, you talking about me?

00:16:20.280 Like it was like, it honestly felt playful, the audience.

00:16:23.660 It did not seem like this visceral hatred moment.

00:16:26.760 Yeah.

00:16:26.980 And again, I think it was one of those things where Eagles are like, look, we boo Santa Claus.

00:16:30.980 We're certainly booing you.

00:16:32.060 It was that type of thing is what it felt like.

00:16:34.720 But it was overall, you know, she, I, she played it off.

00:16:38.800 Actually, I thought pretty well.

00:16:40.260 And it was, you know, it was just a fun moment.

00:16:43.100 I thought it was fun.

00:16:43.800 Yeah.

00:16:44.060 But, you know, it comes, it comes off, you know, you just hear a bunch of boos.

00:16:47.060 You don't necessarily want that.

00:16:48.860 888-727-BECK.

00:16:50.700 More coming up in a minute.

00:16:53.080 All right.

00:16:53.540 Let me ask you something.

00:16:54.360 If you want to fix the problem with school shootings in this country, which I think we all do.

00:16:58.140 Let me give you this.

00:16:59.820 This has been Glenn's idea for a while.

00:17:01.580 What if you could give teachers and administrators in every office and classroom in a school a weapon that wouldn't kill anyone?

00:17:08.000 Wouldn't, you know, God forbid there's some incident where somebody misses.

00:17:11.620 It's not going to hit a student bystander and kill them.

00:17:14.920 But it would ensure the attacker was incapacitated instantly.

00:17:19.000 The burner launcher is a solution here.

00:17:20.480 It's a non-lethal alternative to safeguarding your home and maybe your school.

00:17:25.000 It's legal in all 50 states with no permits or background checks required and can be used by all age groups over 18.

00:17:31.620 The burner launcher has powerful deterrents like the tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range.

00:17:36.640 And one shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

00:17:40.780 With a burner launcher, you can be confident that you're prepared to defend yourself against potential threats.

00:17:45.020 They're trusted by over 500 government agencies, police departments, security firms around the country because they really work.

00:17:51.760 And they're really, they're great.

00:17:52.900 I can also say practicing with them is really fun, too.

00:17:56.120 So you'll really like your burner.

00:17:57.780 The situation calls for action, but, you know, not for lethal violence.

00:18:01.180 The burner launcher is what you need to have by your side.

00:18:13.360 Station ID.

00:18:13.740 A documentary is closed for storm, by the way.

00:18:26.860 Oh, I'm looking at the sign right now that says that once said closed for storm.

00:18:32.660 Closed for storm.

00:18:33.200 That's what the sign said at that amusement park.

00:18:35.220 In fact, right now it says closed R-O-R-M.

00:18:38.860 Yeah.

00:18:39.380 Because most of the sign is broken off, including the entire front of it.

00:18:43.140 That you must have once said Six Flags, New Orleans or whatever.

00:18:47.140 Yeah.

00:18:47.820 It's creepy.

00:18:49.020 It is interesting.

00:18:51.020 It's creepy, man.

00:18:51.680 I can't wait to watch it.

00:18:53.500 It's so fascinating that you like this.

00:18:55.260 We have the weirdest, the same interest when it comes to that stuff.

00:18:58.300 I know.

00:18:59.200 There is a, and again, you got to be careful the way you type this on Reddit.

00:19:03.180 But there's, I think it's called abandoned porn.

00:19:06.720 Like, in other words, you know how like.

00:19:08.140 Oh, where are things that have been abandoned?

00:19:10.660 Yeah.

00:19:10.880 It's not, it's not actual porn that's been abandoned.

00:19:13.440 It's kind of like a funny way of saying like the stuff you really want to see if you like

00:19:17.520 this type of photography.

00:19:19.000 Yeah.

00:19:19.080 So, type carefully if you're interested in that.

00:19:21.560 But there's a Reddit, there's a subreddit called Abandoned Porn.

00:19:24.320 I believe that's the name of it.

00:19:25.520 And it's fascinating.

00:19:26.480 I can see where that might be dangerous.

00:19:27.820 You don't want to miss, you don't want to miss a couple digits.

00:19:29.440 Go on your kids around just in case.

00:19:31.000 Yeah, be careful.

00:19:31.980 Be careful and not safe for work or whatever the, you don't want that.

00:19:36.320 But this one, it's, and it's the people who go into abandoned malls and abandoned like

00:19:41.500 schools and these cities that have just, and they take all the footage inside.

00:19:45.600 I think find that stuff just to be fascinating for some reason.

00:19:47.560 I don't know what it is.

00:19:48.560 I know, me too.

00:19:49.280 Or like, you know, you have one of those, like, there's a natural disaster and it means

00:19:53.780 that a brand new housing development has to be abandoned.

00:19:57.500 And then you go back like 15 years later and it's like this perfectly like, you know, it's

00:20:03.060 like a movie set that's just, they just left.

00:20:05.640 Yeah.

00:20:05.880 And it's, I find it to be really, really interesting.

00:20:08.300 I'll bet we see some of that stuff in Los Angeles now because.

00:20:11.580 Gosh, that's terrible to think about.

00:20:12.820 So much of that has been destroyed.

00:20:14.160 And, you know, are we going to fix it all?

00:20:16.340 I don't know.

00:20:16.800 I don't know.

00:20:17.760 I mean, you think the Palisades, like there's so much of land value there that it's going

00:20:23.220 to be hard to stop people from rebuilding.

00:20:25.520 I was just looking at, I don't know.

00:20:27.540 I get this stuff on my YouTube feed because I accidentally, I click on things that are

00:20:32.240 like, I see this amazing house that was $83 million.

00:20:35.660 Well, one of them was in Pacific Palisades and it's absolutely beautiful because they show

00:20:41.000 the before and it completely burned down, burned to the ground, an $83 million home.

00:20:47.140 I don't know how you ever replace that.

00:20:49.380 That's, I mean, obviously you have some money in the first place, but man, that, that is

00:20:54.440 just heartbreaking for all the people who lost their homes and their livelihood and the businesses

00:21:00.560 and everything that just went away.

00:21:02.220 It's just gone now.

00:21:03.220 Yeah.

00:21:03.460 And I think it's obviously easy to focus on, on those big houses, but it's also, obviously

00:21:08.120 they do have resources that doesn't make it any easier.

00:21:10.520 No, it doesn't.

00:21:11.160 I mean, you see these people who are like, oh gosh, they're rich.

00:21:13.680 Well, yeah, they're rich, but their families were raised in these homes.

00:21:16.620 Yeah.

00:21:16.780 And anytime you lose something like that, it's emotionally devastating as well.

00:21:20.860 For sure.

00:21:21.180 But of course, tons of people who were, you know, who had family homes in that area long

00:21:26.540 before it was impossibly expensive to get into them.

00:21:29.760 Right.

00:21:30.120 And that's a lot.

00:21:31.300 Yeah.

00:21:31.960 A lot of people were hit that way.

00:21:34.640 And, you know, did not, like, it's not their fault, Gavin, no, some of them, I guess it is

00:21:38.120 because they voted for him, but it's not their fault.

00:21:39.880 Gavin Newsom is terrible.

00:21:41.080 Right.

00:21:41.380 Right.

00:21:41.540 It's not their fault that, you know, the, you know, Karen Bass is incompetent.

00:21:46.960 But some of them built their homes, you know, in 1970 for $25,000, and now it's worth $3.5

00:21:52.960 million.

00:21:54.200 And you can't afford, you couldn't afford to live there had you not bought it in 1970.

00:21:58.500 There's a lot of those families.

00:21:59.820 Right.

00:22:00.020 And, you know, who knows if the insurance is covering all that?

00:22:02.700 Probably not.

00:22:03.440 Almost for sure not.

00:22:04.320 And some of them, of course, lost their insurance as well.

00:22:06.300 So it's, and you realize, like, in the Pacific Palisades, they're probably just going to

00:22:10.480 build it up.

00:22:10.880 They're probably going to be nicer houses.

00:22:12.460 Probably a lot of those people who live there are going to wind up selling, and it's not going

00:22:15.400 to be great, but it'll probably be rejuvenated as a community eventually.

00:22:20.440 There's just chunks of New Orleans where they just gave up.

00:22:23.080 Still from Katrina?

00:22:24.220 Yeah.

00:22:24.620 They're just like, okay, nothing here.

00:22:26.600 Nothing will ever come back here.

00:22:27.840 We're not even going to clean it.

00:22:29.200 They've been barred multiple times.

00:22:30.840 Oh, man.

00:22:31.720 I mean, between Katrina and then the horrible terrorist attack on New Year's Eve, and I

00:22:38.940 mean, it's just been pounded.

00:22:41.500 So.

00:22:41.940 Wow.

00:22:42.840 The security, I've never seen, and maybe they were there, I never noticed it, but like

00:22:47.120 going into the Super Bowl, all of the security being done by Secret Service.

00:22:50.600 Wow.

00:22:51.660 Wow.

00:22:52.060 I was like, I didn't know he had this many Secret Service, honestly.

00:22:55.000 Yeah.

00:22:55.380 It was intense.

00:22:56.460 It was intense.

00:22:57.000 It's 888-727-BECK.

00:22:59.160 More coming up.

00:23:03.800 This is Glenn Beck.

00:23:07.600 So, I want you to hear about what one listener had to say about their experience with SimpliSafe.

00:23:12.100 Because I had SimpliSafe, the man who burglarized my home is now spending six years in a New York

00:23:17.500 prison.

00:23:18.300 In fact, they sent someone to prison in New York?

00:23:20.680 I didn't even know if it was possible anymore.

00:23:22.160 We had this vase on video, so the district attorney was able to successfully prosecute

00:23:27.320 him.

00:23:27.820 I'm glad to hear that they're still doing that in New York.

00:23:30.020 Justice can be served when SimpliSafe is on the case.

00:23:32.460 SimpliSafe offers advanced, state-of-the-art security and 24-7 monitoring plans for around

00:23:37.280 a dollar a day.

00:23:38.020 That's an incredible price when you think about it.

00:23:40.100 They have their live guard protection and fast protect monitoring.

00:23:43.520 SimpliSafe can act on an alarm within five seconds.

00:23:46.360 Even talk to the intruder.

00:23:47.620 That's got to be kind of disturbing if you're the intruder.

00:23:49.300 Just as a little voice coming out, hey, we're watching you on camera right now.

00:23:53.320 Their exclusive active guard outdoor protection uses AI-powered cameras, which are backed by

00:23:58.500 live monitoring against who will keep watch over your property 24-7.

00:24:08.700 it for you.

00:24:59.360 888-727-BECK.

00:25:02.320 Been talking about Stu's Super Bowl experience.

00:25:04.960 It doesn't compare to my weekend.

00:25:06.840 I actually went to the George W. Bush Presidential Museum and Library.

00:25:12.300 Yeah.

00:25:12.680 Really?

00:25:13.260 What a spectacular outing that was.

00:25:16.060 I mean, I have thought it's here locally in Dallas.

00:25:18.740 Yeah, we've been here for 13 years now.

00:25:20.720 And I've never been there.

00:25:21.460 And I thought, I've never been.

00:25:22.560 I'm going this weekend.

00:25:23.780 I bet there's some pretty cool stuff there, actually.

00:25:25.860 Yes.

00:25:26.340 And the 9-11 exhibit, of course, is-

00:25:28.700 Got to be really fascinating.

00:25:29.800 It's solemn and fascinating and brings back memories.

00:25:33.720 But on the whole, it's probably not the most exciting adventure I've ever been on.

00:25:39.960 But it was good.

00:25:40.620 It was good.

00:25:41.520 Was it worth, I don't know, $26?

00:25:43.520 $26?

00:25:45.760 Yeah.

00:25:46.260 The borderline on $26, huh?

00:25:47.760 Yeah.

00:25:47.840 That's not great.

00:25:49.080 I mean, we went to a really great presidential library in Springfield, Illinois.

00:25:54.380 It's Abraham Lincoln's presidential library, or a museum.

00:25:58.680 And it's both.

00:25:59.720 They're all both, pretty much.

00:26:01.620 That one's worth the $15.

00:26:03.560 It's less expensive and more impressive.

00:26:07.180 So that one was awesome.

00:26:09.420 Wait, it was which library?

00:26:11.440 Abraham Lincoln's.

00:26:12.280 So you're saying the Abraham Lincoln library was more impressive than the George?

00:26:15.300 Better technology than the George W. Bush.

00:26:18.120 And it was finished before.

00:26:19.620 I think they finished Lincoln's in 2005.

00:26:23.400 They finished W's in 2013.

00:26:26.380 So it's kind of weird, but the technology is way better.

00:26:30.900 No offense to George W. Bush.

00:26:32.120 No, no, no.

00:26:32.660 But he did have a little bit more to work with, with a Lincoln presidency, I feel like.

00:26:36.860 I feel like that, too.

00:26:37.860 A little more.

00:26:38.440 Yeah, he had a longer period of time.

00:26:39.840 He had a more modern period of time.

00:26:43.060 You would think the technology would be better, but, I mean.

00:26:45.460 Well, a technology I would expect to be better.

00:26:47.120 But as far as, like, stuff to highlight at a presidential museum, I feel like Lincoln might have the edge on that one.

00:26:52.400 I would think that, too.

00:26:53.080 But I don't know.

00:26:54.280 One of them was more consequential than the other, perhaps.

00:26:56.760 You noticed that?

00:26:57.420 Yeah.

00:26:57.640 And then you get that from the museums?

00:27:00.080 Did you not know that until?

00:27:01.600 Yes, I didn't know that until I went to the museum.

00:27:04.660 So, yeah, it was a big surprise to me.

00:27:07.380 Yeah, I don't know.

00:27:07.940 The presidential library itself, like, as an idea, like, doesn't.

00:27:12.280 You know they're going to have incredible, like, historical stuff.

00:27:16.680 Yeah.

00:27:16.860 But, like, it doesn't seem like number one on my visitation list.

00:27:20.780 Also, I don't feel like you're getting a fair picture.

00:27:23.960 Yeah.

00:27:24.160 Did you get a fair, like, hey, you know what?

00:27:25.980 George W. Bush really blew the spending stuff.

00:27:28.000 Was that covered?

00:27:28.860 No, it was not.

00:27:30.060 No, it was not.

00:27:30.780 Was it all positive?

00:27:31.960 No.

00:27:32.680 I mean, it was neutral.

00:27:34.280 It was all pretty neutral, I thought.

00:27:36.040 They didn't really make him out to be super fabulous.

00:27:39.900 And they talked about other presidents and didn't disparage them in any way.

00:27:44.040 Which I think you would expect from George W. Bush.

00:27:46.560 Yep.

00:27:46.880 People think he was super, super partisan.

00:27:49.280 He was not.

00:27:50.360 He was not.

00:27:51.020 And his library isn't either.

00:27:53.440 So I found that kind of interesting and a little bit refreshing.

00:27:57.420 I mean, I didn't mind that they talked about, in a neutral way, all the presidents who preceded him.

00:28:03.440 Yeah, you want that at some level.

00:28:05.600 Again, we all can form our own opinion.

00:28:07.520 This is actually, Pat, our generalized request of the media.

00:28:11.460 Which is just talk about the stuff that's neutral and describe what's going on.

00:28:16.240 And then I'll decide.

00:28:17.240 And then we'll decide.

00:28:18.420 Yeah.

00:28:18.840 I believe someone once said, we report, you decide, I believe was a slogan for Fox News at one point.

00:28:25.680 Kind of what I want out of the media.

00:28:27.860 Definitely.

00:28:28.360 Tell me what's going on.

00:28:29.820 Tell me what's been, what's the real story.

00:28:32.600 Just generally.

00:28:33.340 You don't need to put in your little, like, you know, stuff about what you think or what your intern really thinks needs to be in the article about DEI.

00:28:42.780 Just give me the facts.

00:28:44.720 Yeah.

00:28:45.000 And then I will just determine how I feel about it.

00:28:48.060 How about that?

00:28:48.540 What a concept.

00:28:49.900 It's a crazy approach, Pat.

00:28:51.640 Crazy.

00:28:52.080 That's like nuts.

00:28:53.480 I mean, we have, let's see, I think this is the one I'm thinking of on my list of videos here.

00:29:01.300 CNN on Trump's first three weeks.

00:29:03.340 It's cut to.

00:29:04.840 We are three weeks into the second Trump presidency.

00:29:07.180 Yep, this is the one.

00:29:07.680 Three weeks.

00:29:08.780 And tonight there are warnings that the U.S. is dangerously close to a constitutional crisis.

00:29:13.780 Pause it for a second.

00:29:14.400 Now the first shoot.

00:29:14.740 Okay.

00:29:15.880 That's what we're talking about.

00:29:17.300 All right, let me decide how close we are to a constitutional crisis and for what reason we're close to it.

00:29:24.020 Yeah, even if.

00:29:25.220 She's telling us at the top.

00:29:26.500 At the top.

00:29:27.000 We're dangerously close.

00:29:27.980 That we're dangerously close to a constitutional crisis.

00:29:30.800 Like, you could instead describe what's going on.

00:29:33.700 And then if you have maybe an expert that comes in and says, you know, I think we're actually dangerously close to a constitutional crisis.

00:29:40.220 Okay.

00:29:40.600 Like, maybe that's a perspective I could get.

00:29:42.000 Maybe give me the opposite side, someone who's not freaking out as if the world is on fire.

00:29:48.000 But you could present that view as part of a news story.

00:29:52.300 You could.

00:29:52.960 You could.

00:29:53.380 I don't think it would be the best decision.

00:29:55.980 You probably have a kind of a person who's a little bit over panicked about things if you're bringing that person in.

00:30:01.440 But like, if you got somebody who thinks it's serious, okay, maybe, maybe.

00:30:04.860 But the fact that the anchor is starting with this.

00:30:08.460 Yeah.

00:30:09.320 Taints it.

00:30:10.140 It's tainted from the top.

00:30:11.780 From the top.

00:30:12.240 So, yeah, I don't even want to hear the rest because you've already tainted it now.

00:30:17.580 So, yeah, that's a problem.

00:30:19.400 And I found it fascinating that they didn't do that at his library.

00:30:24.580 You know, it's a place where these former presidents raise hundreds of millions of dollars for these museums.

00:30:32.100 And so, you probably want it to be as positive about your legacy as you possibly can get it, right?

00:30:39.500 You would think, anyway.

00:30:40.720 You're paying 200 and, well, you're raising $250 million and it's going into building this library.

00:30:45.440 You want it to be, I don't know, kind of a monument to what you did for your eight years or four years.

00:30:50.320 So, it was, I thought it was fascinating that they really didn't, they didn't taint it like the news does, like CNN does.

00:31:01.440 And here, on the other hand, though, was CNN talking about, yesterday we played the CBS talking about the ratings for Donald Trump so far in his presidency, which are really pretty good.

00:31:18.900 But he's got a 53% approval rating, which is the highest he's ever had, either term.

00:31:27.300 And he has 70% of Americans who are now saying that he's doing what he said he was going to do.

00:31:34.900 If you've got 70% of American citizens saying you're doing what you said you were going to do, that's pretty amazing because that's not just Republicans, that's Republicans and Democrats.

00:31:45.040 Now, that doesn't mean Democrats are necessarily happy with you doing what you said you were going to do.

00:31:51.260 But at least they're acknowledging, yeah, he's doing what he said he was going to do.

00:31:55.260 Yeah, like it or not.

00:31:56.320 Yeah.

00:31:56.560 And he's being very decisive, obviously, and has done a lot in a very short period of time.

00:32:04.000 Obviously, the big reconciliation bill is something that's coming up and it's going to be a huge part of whatever this term's legacy is.

00:32:10.600 If he can pull that off in a really positive way, he's going to have to work with Congress on that one.

00:32:15.040 I know they're already starting to work on it.

00:32:17.060 So that's coming up around the corner.

00:32:19.360 I mean, he's got a lot to do.

00:32:20.400 He's got a lot to unwind.

00:32:21.620 A lot of damage has been done.

00:32:22.820 He does.

00:32:23.120 You know, he's coming off one of the worst presidents ever.

00:32:26.080 And that's why I don't mind so much the fact that he's done a lot of executive orders.

00:32:31.440 That's not the preferable way to maybe do these things because they can be undone the second the next guy comes in.

00:32:39.120 Yeah.

00:32:39.540 And most of his work has been in that, basically undoing thing.

00:32:44.440 Yeah, it's something like 70% of these executive orders have just been unwinding things that Biden had done that have damaged the country.

00:32:51.380 Which had to be done.

00:32:52.100 Now, hopefully, he'll follow up with legislative efforts.

00:32:55.880 Yep.

00:32:56.240 You know, and we'll codify it in law.

00:32:57.960 That would be great.

00:32:58.920 Yeah.

00:32:59.100 But so far, the results are phenomenal, in my opinion.

00:33:03.880 You can't even – I had a guy, a friend at church, ask me how we're keeping up.

00:33:07.920 How do you keep up with what's going on?

00:33:10.100 It's happening so fast.

00:33:11.520 And really, you don't.

00:33:13.340 Yeah, that's basically the real answer.

00:33:14.560 You don't.

00:33:14.900 You don't.

00:33:15.400 You pick and choose.

00:33:16.200 You pick and choose.

00:33:16.660 Yeah.

00:33:16.880 What you can keep up with and what you can talk about because there's just too much.

00:33:20.200 He's done 300 executive orders or something so far.

00:33:23.620 Yeah.

00:33:24.340 That's a lot.

00:33:25.180 A lot.

00:33:26.100 And first of all, like it's strategically a very smart approach because you just don't have that much time.

00:33:33.060 You don't have that much time.

00:33:33.800 I mean, right now, his overall approval rating for an average, real clear politics, using that as just a baseline, 48.8%.

00:33:43.220 That is 45% disapprove.

00:33:48.120 If – we don't know what's going to happen, of course.

00:33:49.580 He's above water on that then, 48, 45.

00:33:51.260 And that is very rare, by the way, for Donald Trump.

00:33:53.340 It did not happen at all during his first term.

00:33:56.000 Yeah.

00:33:56.340 And generally speaking, like, you know, he's got – his best numbers are from, you know, Trafalgar and Rasmussen, which is kind of where you expect to see it.

00:34:03.340 But, like, CBS News has him at 53% too.

00:34:06.040 It's not – it's not just, you know, right-leaning pollsters, if you will.

00:34:11.880 Economist has him at 48.

00:34:13.080 His worst number here, Reuters, has him at 45.

00:34:16.040 But still, 45 would be a very good number for his first term.

00:34:20.300 If you're President Trump and you're thinking about this strategically, you don't know what's going to happen.

00:34:25.200 I'm sure Trump in his head is saying, I'm going to be so great that my approval rating is going to go through the roof and this will be the best thing ever.

00:34:31.360 And I'm sure that's – it's something that – he's a power of positive thinking guy.

00:34:35.200 That being said, you have to strategically plan for what is more likely, which is once we get past the afterglow of the election, a lot of these things that he did at the beginning were positive – were very popular.

00:34:47.860 Yeah.

00:34:48.240 Right?

00:34:48.840 Yeah.

00:34:49.000 He's going to run out of that stuff.

00:34:50.340 He's going to start coming up with policy positions that are more partisan.

00:34:54.760 You know, it's easy to say, hey, we shouldn't judge people by their skin color.

00:34:59.200 Like, 80% of people believe that.

00:35:01.400 Even Democrats, a lot of Democrats believe that you shouldn't be doing that.

00:35:04.020 This DEI stuff is kind of nonsense.

00:35:05.800 Right?

00:35:06.180 When you poll it.

00:35:07.740 That stuff is popular.

00:35:10.140 And it's easy to be able to go in there and do that sort of thing.

00:35:12.660 When you get into more divisive stuff, you're going to wind up probably losing some of those moderates and probably losing some of those people who are Democrats who kind of like what Trump does generally.

00:35:22.840 Unless the economy, like, takes off and everything else.

00:35:25.420 You never know.

00:35:26.320 So, what you should expect, you should plan for, plan for the worst, hope for the best, plan for the worst, is to think –

00:35:33.720 I got two years.

00:35:34.320 I got two years max.

00:35:35.560 You'll probably lose Congress – again, just historically, you'll probably lose Congress in 2026.

00:35:42.980 If he's able to hold on to it, it'll be historic.

00:35:46.200 Yeah.

00:35:46.440 Because it usually does happen.

00:35:48.300 It's happened basically every single time.

00:35:51.520 I remember the aftermath – or 2002 being one where that was kind of turned around after 9-11.

00:36:00.160 Bush did better than expected in 2002.

00:36:03.100 There's been a few times.

00:36:04.060 You've seen some of these we-did-better-than-expected versions of this.

00:36:08.060 Like, for example, when Joe Biden lost the House.

00:36:10.820 Also could have lost the Senate.

00:36:12.520 They probably did do slightly better than projections in that 2022 election.

00:36:18.280 But, like, you still lost the House.

00:36:21.220 You still lost your ability to pass things without Republicans.

00:36:24.520 Yeah.

00:36:24.740 And you don't want to be in that position if you're Donald Trump.

00:36:27.460 And it's likely you will be.

00:36:28.820 Because you're not going to get any Democrats to participate with you.

00:36:30.900 Right.

00:36:31.180 None.

00:36:31.440 I mean, you know, again, you'll get an occasional Fetterman vote.

00:36:34.380 You'll get an occasional here and there.

00:36:35.820 But you're not going to get a lot.

00:36:37.180 Yeah.

00:36:37.400 So you have to plan as if this is it.

00:36:40.400 You've got about a year – you've got two years.

00:36:43.000 And, Pat, when you have a one-seat majority in the House, you don't even have two years.

00:36:47.520 Because you're going to get these purple district moderates that are going to bail on your proposals in that second year.

00:36:52.480 True.

00:36:52.600 So if you think about it realistically, you've got about a year.

00:36:55.660 Yeah.

00:36:56.080 And he's acting like that.

00:36:57.100 And he's acting like it.

00:36:58.100 So that's great.

00:36:58.220 And he's smart to act that way.

00:37:00.140 Yeah.

00:37:00.800 888-727-BECK.

00:37:02.240 More coming up.

00:37:06.920 Well, I guess we'll give you a minute to let all that sink in.

00:37:12.180 More Glenn Beck coming up.

00:37:14.320 This month and every month, we remember the over 66 million babies whose lives have been senselessly sacrificed on the altar of abortion.

00:37:35.900 Surely, the left doesn't understand the repercussions of a land that takes the blood of the innocent.

00:37:40.800 And that should only motivate us more to save more babies and their moms.

00:37:45.680 Preborn is a network of clinics, and they fight every day to save more babies and more moms.

00:37:50.060 To date, they've rescued over 300,000 babies' lives by introducing a mom to her child on an ultrasound.

00:37:56.180 That baby's chance at life doubles.

00:37:58.480 Preborn showers moms and babies with God's love and assistance for up to two years.

00:38:03.600 So when they shout abortion, we shout life.

00:38:06.420 Let's save more babies this year than last.

00:38:09.080 One ultrasound is just $28, and only $140 will help rescue five babies.

00:38:15.080 All of the gifts are tax-deductible.

00:38:16.900 So donate securely.

00:38:18.120 Dial pound 250, say the keyword baby.

00:38:20.220 That's pound 250, keyword baby.

00:38:22.540 Or go to preborn.com slash Beck.

00:38:24.540 preborn.com slash Beck.

00:38:26.220 Sponsored by Preborn.

00:38:26.980 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

00:38:40.760 You know, we were talking about the Stu's Super Bowl experience.

00:38:44.320 What I wanted to ask you about, too, was not just the game, but what about the halftime?

00:38:48.320 What was the feel in the stadium for the halftime show?

00:38:51.320 Because is it just me, or was that one of the worst of all time?

00:38:56.460 I, well, first of all, I don't know anything about Kendrick Lamar.

00:39:01.320 I don't either.

00:39:01.840 I don't know any of his.

00:39:02.680 Honestly.

00:39:02.880 I knew one of his songs, kind of.

00:39:04.560 Oh, you did?

00:39:04.980 I think I heard the course.

00:39:05.860 Yeah, I had no idea.

00:39:06.880 I thought, huh, has anybody ever heard any of these?

00:39:09.720 And I guess they have.

00:39:10.780 Like, billions of streams, right?

00:39:12.660 Yeah.

00:39:13.000 I think they miss with artists like that because they're, like, there's not a, you know, of

00:39:18.760 course, the average person going to the Super Bowl is basically like me.

00:39:22.500 Some, like, almost 50-year-old guy who's just, you know, I don't know, who works for

00:39:29.360 a living and, you know, I don't know, like, goes, and loves sports, right?

00:39:32.780 Right.

00:39:33.720 There's not a, you know, I don't know.

00:39:36.700 Like, it is.

00:39:37.360 We're not the target demo for the NFL.

00:39:39.120 For Kendrick Lamar.

00:39:39.680 We're just not.

00:39:40.500 And we might be, oh, I disagree.

00:39:43.080 I think we're the ones spending the money on the NFL.

00:39:45.440 I know, but they act like they don't care what, for instance, we think of it.

00:39:50.500 You know, I think, like, look, Kendrick Lamar is one of the biggest acts in the world, right?

00:39:53.860 Like, and he's, I get it.

00:39:55.580 I guess.

00:39:56.180 He's huge.

00:39:57.120 But, like, I always feel like the actual sweet spot for a Super Bowl, I think, was 2002 U2.

00:40:07.840 U2, yeah.

00:40:08.600 Now, U2 today would not be the right act.

00:40:11.040 No, right.

00:40:11.860 In 1989, U2 would have not been right there.

00:40:14.660 But 2002, they were still one of the biggest bands in the world, still releasing stuff that

00:40:18.960 was really relevant.

00:40:20.420 Yeah.

00:40:20.740 And had a long catalog.

00:40:22.720 They all, like, I remember we went to one that was also The Who.

00:40:25.140 And that felt like the opposite direction.

00:40:27.520 Like, they were 20 years past that.

00:40:30.200 Yeah.

00:40:30.400 You know, if you'd done it 20 years earlier, it would have worked.

00:40:32.880 This was like, you know, Kendrick Lamar is, like, really appealing to 25-year-olds.

00:40:38.580 And, you know, and he's been around for a while.

00:40:40.520 So, it's not like he's super young.

00:40:42.140 But it just doesn't feel like it connects with certainly the people in the audience.

00:40:45.300 That being said, it is not a made-for-stadium show.

00:40:48.780 It is a made-for-TV show.

00:40:51.020 So, like, for example, me, I was on the opposite side.

00:40:53.880 And what I saw was the back of a bunch of dancers for a few minutes.

00:40:57.120 Like, it looks, it's terrible in the stadium.

00:40:59.580 Everyone's like, oh, what's it like?

00:41:00.520 It's awful.

00:41:01.220 But no doubt you were digging the music, right?

00:41:03.220 The tunes were just setting you on fire.

00:41:05.780 I will tell you that.

00:41:06.560 I took the opportunity to go to the food stand and the bathroom.

00:41:10.680 Totally clear, which is great.

00:41:12.140 Most people in the stadium.

00:41:13.060 It's the best part.

00:41:14.420 Oh, that's nice.

00:41:15.080 I didn't, I would have preferred to hear and see basically none of it.

00:41:20.340 My son did want to see it for a little bit.

00:41:22.340 And that tells you a little bit, I suppose, about it.

00:41:24.500 Like, he knows a couple of the songs, I guess.

00:41:25.920 Was he 13?

00:41:26.500 I would not allow him to listen to most of them.

00:41:28.480 So, I don't know how he knows them.

00:41:29.780 But he's 13, yeah.

00:41:31.880 Yeah.

00:41:32.160 So, that's another great part of that story.

00:41:34.500 That's really cool that you now take Zach.

00:41:35.540 Yeah.

00:41:36.000 That's awesome.

00:41:36.280 To Eagles games.

00:41:37.640 Oh, okay.

00:41:38.120 I'm like, if the Eagles make the Super Bowl, you can go with me.

00:41:40.900 And that was a deal I made back in 2017.

00:41:43.740 We went to see.

00:41:44.300 And he remembered.

00:41:45.080 And he remembered.

00:41:45.860 And I thought it would be like once every 50 years.

00:41:48.680 Which now, apparently, they're going every couple years.

00:41:50.760 Which I am happy to deal with.

00:41:52.860 With this team, they actually, they could.

00:41:55.720 They could.

00:41:56.240 They might be back.

00:41:57.020 It's a great, great roster.

00:41:59.040 They were tough this last weekend.

00:42:01.620 All right.

00:42:02.440 More coming up.

00:42:04.780 This is Glenn Beck.

00:42:06.900 Thank you so much, Hillary.

00:42:14.960 The Eagles won the Super Bowl, by the way.

00:42:16.800 Just want to let everybody know that.

00:42:18.820 And also want to let you know about home title lock.

00:42:20.780 One of the biggest and scariest crimes going on right now is called house stealing.

00:42:24.600 It sounds made up, but it is not.

00:42:27.420 And if you check out home title lock, you can go to their website, hometitlelock.com.

00:42:31.480 What you're going to see is something called triple lock protection.

00:42:40.700 You want to get out ahead of it, triple lock protection will protect you from this.

00:42:44.100 If the worst thing happens, of course, something does go wrong.

00:43:18.640 More coming up in just a second.

00:43:20.320 The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions.

00:43:39.320 Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.

00:44:02.020 Stand your ground when times get dark.

00:44:04.500 Gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

00:44:07.140 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:44:13.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:16.740 Yes, it is.

00:44:19.420 With Pat and Stu today, Glenn will be back tomorrow morning.

00:44:23.720 888-727-BECK.

00:44:26.220 Much more to get to, and we'll do that in 60 seconds.

00:44:30.040 Yeah, Glenn should be back tomorrow.

00:44:31.260 He's currently violently ill after watching the Philadelphia Eagles destroy the Kansas City Chiefs.

00:44:35.980 So we'll see.

00:44:36.940 I mean, it's interesting.

00:44:38.380 Will he be back tomorrow?

00:44:39.380 I don't know.

00:44:39.980 He does have a company called realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:44:45.000 They're at work today, as far as I know.

00:44:47.620 They're getting things done for people around the country.

00:44:50.800 Now, we know that we have all sorts of issues when you're buying or selling a home.

00:44:55.640 It can be really difficult.

00:44:56.880 In fact, it's so difficult.

00:44:58.380 It's the reason why this company exists, because Glenn went through that process himself, had to deal with real estate agents that just didn't work.

00:45:07.680 And, you know, look, we know that Glenn might be terrible at predicting Super Bowl outcomes, but he was way out ahead of these real estate problems over a decade ago when he started realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:45:18.300 It's a service they don't charge you for.

00:45:19.640 It's free to you.

00:45:20.920 So why not take advantage of it?

00:45:22.620 Someone really experienced can help you walk through this entire process.

00:45:26.460 And if they have someone in your area, and they probably do, you're going to love working with them.

00:45:30.680 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:45:32.720 The name kind of says it all.

00:45:34.400 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:45:35.480 Check it out now.

00:45:36.840 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:45:38.580 And they're, of course, celebrating the victory of the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl this week.

00:45:43.420 Now, you know that for a fact?

00:45:44.700 Really?

00:45:45.040 Yeah.

00:45:45.300 It's a big company promotion they've got going on right now.

00:45:47.600 When you get on with realestateagentsitrust.com, just say,

00:45:50.500 I'm so excited that the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl,

00:45:54.400 and they'll give you 50% off their $0 cost.

00:45:57.760 See, this is what I was talking about.

00:45:59.380 The most obnoxious person on the face of the planet right now.

00:46:03.040 You think this is bad?

00:46:03.960 Wait till Glenn's here.

00:46:05.360 I mean, this is going to be great.

00:46:07.960 I'm very, very excited.

00:46:10.020 And I know there's other things going on in the world that are more important.

00:46:13.660 I can't think of any off the top of my head, but they probably are.

00:46:16.420 Well, the left thinks it's a big deal that Donald Trump seemed to say that J.D. Vance is not going to be his successor.

00:46:26.200 That's kind of interesting.

00:46:27.760 Brett Baer interviewed Donald Trump for the Super Bowl, and here's a little section of that.

00:46:34.740 Do you view Vice President J.D. Vance as your successor, the Republican nominee in 2028?

00:46:40.260 No, but he's very capable.

00:46:42.320 I mean, I don't think that it, you know, I think you have a lot of very capable people.

00:46:46.920 So far, I think he's doing a fantastic job.

00:46:49.180 It's too early.

00:46:50.020 We're just starting.

00:46:51.280 But by the time you get to the midterms, he's going to be looking for an endorsement.

00:46:54.200 Yeah, a lot of people have said that this has been the greatest opening, almost three weeks, in the history of the presidency.

00:47:00.300 It's definitely been the fastest and the most stuff happening.

00:47:02.660 We've done so much so fast, and we really had to because they have really, what they've done to our country is so sad.

00:47:09.700 It's so sad.

00:47:10.920 We're going to be bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.

00:47:14.500 Special report anchor and executive editor.

00:47:16.620 The big headline there, of course, is that he said no, that J.D. Vance, he doesn't look at him as his successor.

00:47:23.060 Now, could it be the reason is that Donald Trump Jr. might be running in 2028?

00:47:30.980 That's interesting.

00:47:31.920 That's what I think it is.

00:47:33.540 I think he's already, you know, he's got an endorsement that's already set aside for somebody else.

00:47:40.200 I think that's the issue.

00:47:42.080 So let's get three possibilities here.

00:47:44.660 I think that's a really interesting one.

00:47:46.280 Donald Trump Jr., he already knows that he's going to run, and he's his pick, obviously, if he winds up running in some serious way.

00:47:55.300 So that's number one.

00:47:56.060 Number two, you could make the argument, I think this is more of an argument for a traditional politician

00:48:00.600 than Donald Trump, but, like, to look at the state and say, I've got a lot of allies.

00:48:04.740 A lot of people are probably going to run in 2028.

00:48:06.900 Right.

00:48:07.240 I need to see what the field is.

00:48:08.940 Like, I can't make that decision right now.

00:48:10.800 Like, let's let this play out.

00:48:12.700 You know, he's got people that are allies, people who worked really hard for him that might run.

00:48:17.660 I'm not going to make that call right now.

00:48:19.740 If you remember, you know, even like Obama was not really involved in an endorsement type of thing.

00:48:26.080 He wasn't like...

00:48:26.580 No, Joe asked him not to.

00:48:27.840 Do you remember that?

00:48:28.500 Joe asked him...

00:48:29.020 I do remember Joe saying that.

00:48:30.720 Not to endorse him, because that would be an unfair advantage.

00:48:34.280 Right.

00:48:34.660 You know, and so he didn't want that.

00:48:36.360 You know, Joe, if Joe Biden's about anything, it's merit.

00:48:39.080 Yeah.

00:48:39.420 Oh, yeah.

00:48:39.720 And he just doesn't want to mess with that process at all.

00:48:42.140 He wouldn't want...

00:48:42.840 No, no.

00:48:43.180 He wouldn't want an endorsement from a very popular president in his party.

00:48:47.020 No.

00:48:47.360 He wouldn't want that.

00:48:48.380 That would be awful.

00:48:49.160 So he didn't get it.

00:48:51.700 In fact, he was actually talked out of running by Barack Obama.

00:48:55.560 And Hillary Clinton wound up getting the nomination.

00:48:58.960 And you see how well that turned out.

00:49:00.340 Let me give you a third possibility while we're just throwing stuff out there.

00:49:03.320 All right.

00:49:04.660 What...

00:49:05.220 And I...

00:49:05.860 I mean this sincerely.

00:49:08.560 I know other...

00:49:09.760 This is...

00:49:10.920 I really do think this is something.

00:49:13.100 Which is, what if Donald Trump sees the successor of Donald Trump in 2028 being Donald Trump?

00:49:19.380 Donald Trump.

00:49:19.560 Period.

00:49:19.920 No junior.

00:49:20.620 Donald Trump senior.

00:49:21.300 Donald Trump senior.

00:49:22.520 Yeah.

00:49:22.900 I felt that one coming on.

00:49:23.920 He's totally floating this for a reason, boys and girls.

00:49:27.820 Because he...

00:49:29.000 He is.

00:49:29.500 He wants to have another term.

00:49:31.520 He wants to have a third term.

00:49:33.420 And again, there's a constitutional limitation to this process.

00:49:39.240 There is already a bill, by the way, being floated around that would give him the opportunity

00:49:45.440 to run for a third term, which would need to be through a constitutional amendment.

00:49:49.900 It was cleverly designed so that it would prevent Barack Obama running for a third term because

00:49:57.360 it was...

00:49:58.240 You can't run two consecutive terms?

00:50:01.100 Yeah, you can.

00:50:02.320 Or a third consecutive term.

00:50:03.600 You can only run a third consecutive term if you had a separation between your first and

00:50:07.200 second term.

00:50:07.920 Okay.

00:50:08.120 So if you...

00:50:08.980 He's floated it out there multiple times in front of these audiences.

00:50:17.400 I think he sees it as an anti-market situation.

00:50:22.400 If the market wants me, they should be able to have me for another term.

00:50:26.220 And I think as we get...

00:50:27.420 Except there's something called the Constitution.

00:50:30.080 Right.

00:50:30.360 He'd have to amend...

00:50:30.880 It disallows that.

00:50:31.680 You've got to amend the Constitution.

00:50:33.820 That's almost impossible.

00:50:34.640 Now, I will say, I will not be surprised if some legal...

00:50:41.820 You wait.

00:50:43.100 Some legal mind in the constitutional sphere who is attempting to curry favor with a Mr.

00:50:52.120 Donald Trump comes up with a little theory that actually, no, it's not prevented.

00:50:57.300 Do not be surprised to see this argument pop up.

00:51:00.780 Look, you've seen it before with Trump.

00:51:05.280 Of course, you've seen it a million times on the left.

00:51:08.000 We all know how this works.

00:51:09.940 Actually, the Equal Rights Amendment already passed.

00:51:15.220 Actually.

00:51:15.960 Oh, really?

00:51:16.780 Did it?

00:51:17.460 Did it?

00:51:18.080 We just didn't notice all this time?

00:51:20.140 Joe Biden actually came out with that right before Trump took over.

00:51:24.360 Everyone was ignoring what Biden was doing at that point.

00:51:26.320 But he just came out and said, by the way, I consider that already passed.

00:51:29.580 And there is a legal theory that has been bubbling a long time on the left that this is true.

00:51:35.740 It's not.

00:51:36.400 It's nonsense.

00:51:37.540 But I will not be surprised at all if in the back of Donald Trump's head is either one of our philosophies, right?

00:51:45.620 It's either Donald Trump Sr., who is the next guy, or if that fails, Donald Trump Jr. is the next guy.

00:51:53.040 So that is, I think it's possible.

00:51:55.140 It is also possible that he's just saying, look, I think J.D. Vance is great, but he's got to win the nomination.

00:51:59.720 And I'm not going to get involved in that right now.

00:52:01.220 He's three weeks into his presidency.

00:52:02.560 There's no, most presidents, I think, wouldn't answer that of resounding yes.

00:52:06.500 I think you could say, look, he'd be one of the candidates.

00:52:10.280 We don't even know who's running yet.

00:52:11.240 It'd be really easy, though, to just say it's way too early for that.

00:52:14.840 Yeah.

00:52:15.260 You know, it's way too early.

00:52:16.740 I'm three weeks.

00:52:17.620 You're saying just not.

00:52:18.460 Yeah, and just not answer it.

00:52:19.760 No, he's not.

00:52:20.460 Rather than say no, just say it's way too early for that.

00:52:23.260 Right.

00:52:23.840 Totally fair.

00:52:24.520 And I think not controversial.

00:52:26.120 I also would say kind of a weird question at this point in the presidency.

00:52:30.320 It is.

00:52:30.560 No knock on bear.

00:52:31.580 I think it's an interesting one.

00:52:32.480 Obviously, newsworthy.

00:52:34.280 But it is.

00:52:34.900 It's a three weeks into the.

00:52:35.900 Why is he?

00:52:36.780 Because answering that question in any way really indicates you're almost a lame duck.

00:52:42.640 It's almost a no-win situation for him.

00:52:45.520 You're kind of like a lame duck.

00:52:47.020 You're like, okay, well, now all I'm here for is to endorse the next guy.

00:52:50.540 Right.

00:52:51.160 I don't think he's ready for that yet.

00:52:52.360 He's three weeks into his presidency.

00:52:53.480 No, he's not.

00:52:53.840 Right?

00:52:54.280 He's not.

00:52:54.800 So I do think that there is a reason why you wouldn't be like, well, of course he is.

00:53:00.800 I love him.

00:53:01.460 He's the best guy ever.

00:53:02.540 You might think he's the best guy ever.

00:53:04.040 But what do you get out of that if you're Donald Trump?

00:53:06.300 And he's pretty good.

00:53:07.180 I really like J.D. Vance.

00:53:08.480 I was talking to somebody over the weekend.

00:53:09.900 He's like, gosh, I was watching J.D. Vance get off a plane with his family.

00:53:15.440 You know, he's got a beautiful wife.

00:53:18.340 He's a good looking guy.

00:53:19.760 They're getting off.

00:53:20.640 His kids are bundled up wearing pajama pants under their coats.

00:53:25.120 Like, and he's so good on TV.

00:53:27.920 He's so good at beating the left.

00:53:30.720 Like, it's just this all-American family.

00:53:33.140 Like, you know, if this, if the first term of Donald Trump goes really well and he doesn't have another Trump to run against, it's hard to see anybody.

00:53:43.940 Like, you know, you might say, like, you know, Rhonda Stantz has got a great record and I think totally deserves to be the nominee of the Republican Party at some point with what he's done.

00:53:52.100 And I've said that a million times.

00:53:53.460 But, like, it's going to be tough to beat Vance if this is a popular Republican presidency in that, in that, in that, for sure, in that world.

00:54:01.060 Because, you know, if Donald Trump has a rough go of it, something terrible happens and, you know, we get a big economic downturn and their approval rating is 37 percent, well, it's not, might not be that hard.

00:54:12.080 It might be a different story.

00:54:13.560 But Vance is going to be formidable, really, no matter what goes on, because he's just really good at this.

00:54:19.380 Yeah.

00:54:19.600 You know, he does not have a problem with the left.

00:54:22.480 He does not have a problem with the media.

00:54:23.980 He disassembles them every single time he gets in front of them.

00:54:27.460 Every time.

00:54:28.040 Yeah.

00:54:28.460 Yeah.

00:54:28.860 He's really good.

00:54:29.720 He really is.

00:54:30.840 Vivek.

00:54:31.820 I mean, you think Ramaswamy's got a shot in 28?

00:54:35.120 Yeah.

00:54:35.840 I mean, he's, look.

00:54:36.820 Maybe.

00:54:37.320 He's a good speaker.

00:54:38.600 Him getting, you know, becoming governor of Ohio or senator from Ohio or something of that nature.

00:54:45.460 Might help.

00:54:45.620 It will probably help.

00:54:47.380 It's what, it's the, by the way, also the Buttigieg approach, it looks like, you know, on the left.

00:54:52.880 They, it's tough to go from mayor of South Bend to the presidency.

00:54:57.100 It is, might even be more difficult to go from the Department of Transportation to the presidency.

00:55:04.700 You need to have some role that shows, you know, some sort of performance.

00:55:11.120 I mean, look, Buttigieg was a catastrophe when it came to the Secretary of Transportation.

00:55:14.940 He was horrible.

00:55:16.080 Yeah.

00:55:16.200 But they really want him.

00:55:18.400 You could tell the left, there's a, there's a contingency in the left that really wants him to be president.

00:55:22.760 They want him, they want to have the first gay president.

00:55:26.040 They want the first LGBTQQIA2 plus president.

00:55:29.080 They want that on their little record.

00:55:31.000 He's kind of the only thing they have going that way.

00:55:33.960 And I, they want to roll him out because of that, that sort of like technocratic left really loves him.

00:55:42.520 That, that version of the left loves him.

00:55:44.440 Now, I don't think the AOC left loves him.

00:55:46.920 I think they're bored by him.

00:55:48.400 But I think the, I think there's that tech, that Obama left loves Buttigieg for some reason.

00:55:54.180 I don't really get it.

00:55:55.280 Identity politics.

00:55:56.640 I think that's all there is to it.

00:55:57.500 It's identity politics.

00:55:57.900 And there's a way of his approach.

00:55:59.140 It's like that calm sort of like, you know, intellectual sort of, I use, you know, I use big words to describe my bad policies.

00:56:06.780 Like that sort of approach is loved by that, that technocratic left.

00:56:10.620 And so I, I think they want to make, you know, it's that old thing of you want to make fetch happen.

00:56:15.600 Like they want to make Buttigieg happen.

00:56:17.240 They want it to be a thing so badly.

00:56:18.740 And I don't think there's a lot of passion on the, on the, the day-to-day Democrat for Buttigieg.

00:56:25.340 Like, I don't think they're inspired by him.

00:56:27.980 I don't think.

00:56:28.360 I don't know why they would be.

00:56:29.360 Yeah.

00:56:29.540 He's really, but boring and dull.

00:56:32.460 Yeah.

00:56:32.620 And he's, he doesn't have any accomplishments to his record.

00:56:37.780 What has he done?

00:56:39.220 He couldn't even fill the potholes in South Bend, Indiana, apparently.

00:56:42.300 And by the way, the evidence we have from that is the Biden campaign.

00:56:45.620 Yeah.

00:56:46.040 Who pointed it out.

00:56:46.960 Right.

00:56:47.320 And said, this guy couldn't even run South Bend correctly.

00:56:50.260 How's he going to run America correctly?

00:56:52.100 Yeah.

00:56:52.540 Say, and then they put him in it for Department of Transportation, which to me was really more just like a, a way of derailing his political career.

00:56:59.280 When's the last, how many, Pat, name them, have come from the Department of Transportation to the presidency?

00:57:05.000 One, two, three, oh, zero.

00:57:06.600 None.

00:57:07.100 Yeah.

00:57:07.460 None.

00:57:08.000 None.

00:57:08.280 None.

00:57:08.400 It doesn't happen because it's a job that couldn't, couldn't present a presidential candidate.

00:57:15.300 It's not possible to go from that job.

00:57:18.100 It's just not a, it's not a, and this is a, you know.

00:57:20.400 There are certain cabinet positions that aren't sexy enough to go from there to the presidency.

00:57:25.080 You know.

00:57:25.360 Only downside, right?

00:57:26.380 Yeah.

00:57:26.600 When planes start crashing into each other, people say, oh my God, let's get the Secretary of Transportation.

00:57:31.620 Then you're up there saying, holy crap, all this bad stuff happened.

00:57:33.900 I don't know.

00:57:34.320 We're going to do it.

00:57:35.120 And he was terrible in those moments.

00:57:36.820 Oh my gosh.

00:57:37.580 When he wasn't on paternity leave.

00:57:39.840 Train derailments did he not show up to.

00:57:42.020 Jeez.

00:57:42.660 It was pathetic.

00:57:43.700 And like, you know, Sean Duffy's dealing with this now, right?

00:57:46.200 Like they've had three, another one over the weekend, another, another plane incident over the weekend where planes are crashing into each other.

00:57:53.440 People, like, again, like, is that, Sean Duffy's been in the job for like six hours.

00:57:57.760 Like it's not his fault, but that's how you're going to be known.

00:58:01.300 Right.

00:58:01.380 And if this stuff keeps happening, you have these situations, it's impossible.

00:58:04.460 Like there's only downside to it from your, for your political career, which I think has been true with Buttigieg.

00:58:09.680 He's been terrible.

00:58:10.380 Like I, and I, he really has, he has no accomplishments.

00:58:15.820 He's failed at everything he's done in political office.

00:58:19.560 He's been awful.

00:58:21.160 And he is identity politics.

00:58:23.360 Plus that sort of like appeal to that certain sect of the Democrats who they just really like that stuff.

00:58:29.020 They really, and they get, they, they love the guy who's going to come out and, and be, you know, very calm and, and, and say all these big words and talk down to everybody and how smart he is and how dumb you are.

00:58:40.220 And you're supposed to like that.

00:58:41.320 And some people do on the left, but I don't think even a higher, a high enough percentage on the left like it.

00:58:47.320 That's the problem.

00:58:48.740 No, I think that might be true.

00:58:50.120 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, back.

00:58:51.540 More coming up in one minute.

00:58:52.500 All right.

00:58:54.860 We've dealt with some pretty major natural disasters over the past year.

01:00:06.780 Thank you.

01:00:18.060 So the FBI just discovered 2,400 records tied to President Kennedy's assassination that were never provided to a board tasked with reviewing or disclosing the documents.

01:00:30.820 The still-secret records are contained in 14,000 pages of documents the FBI found in a review that was triggered by President Trump's executive order on the 23rd of January, demanding the release of all JFK assassination records.

01:00:47.800 So apparently the FBI is taking this seriously and they're actually looking into it and they found 14,000 more pages that we didn't even know about.

01:00:57.380 Completely secret.

01:01:00.220 Very strange.

01:01:01.560 Isn't that a little bit suspicious?

01:01:03.500 I would say very suspicious.

01:01:05.260 Huh.

01:01:05.820 Look at this.

01:01:07.240 14,000 more pages that were just in a drawer.

01:01:11.220 Huh.

01:01:11.980 Who knew?

01:01:12.920 It seems unlikely.

01:01:15.520 It does.

01:01:16.340 It just seemed like, hey, wait a minute, they're going to release the stuff we need to figure out.

01:01:19.740 I mean, that's what the conspiracy-minded would go immediately to.

01:01:24.680 They just created these?

01:01:26.640 Well, I didn't even go to that point.

01:01:28.580 I was thinking to myself, like, these are things they've had the whole time and show something that they've never disclosed.

01:01:33.920 And this is the reason we never disclosed it because they were lost.

01:01:37.480 You know, that's what, that's what, you know, again, I don't necessarily believe that.

01:01:41.400 I think there's a chance that maybe this is true.

01:01:44.560 Maybe the story is true.

01:01:45.760 I would like to, I guess I would like to have more evidence on it either way.

01:01:49.360 But it does.

01:01:50.120 I just want to see the documents.

01:01:51.360 Yeah.

01:01:51.760 I just want, once and for all, let's just get this out.

01:01:54.840 All right?

01:01:55.340 Let's just lance this boil and move on past the JFK situation.

01:01:59.780 Yeah.

01:02:00.060 Because even if it was the worst of suspicions, I don't know at this point.

01:02:04.940 I mean, what do you do about it?

01:02:05.980 I mean, it would be, I guess maybe it would give us a little bit more suspicion of some of these institutions, but I don't think it would necessarily make the country collapse.

01:02:17.320 Like, I think we all are somewhat comfortable with the idea that something a little bit out of the, outside of the official story happened.

01:02:26.020 And I keep coming back to this in my head, Pat.

01:02:27.740 But the official story was crafted, essentially, by Arlen Specter.

01:02:31.340 And that makes me not believe it, just because of that.

01:02:35.520 Arlen Specter, the former president.

01:02:37.380 Arlen Specter, the man who wrote the book about what it was like to be in the Senate bathhouse.

01:02:44.680 The man loved to be in the bathhouse when John Thune showed up.

01:02:51.820 He did love that.

01:02:52.780 And now Senate Majority Leader.

01:02:54.380 Arlen Specter, but the man would show up completely naked.

01:02:59.060 Yes, this is in his book.

01:03:00.900 He had the body of a Greek god.

01:03:03.460 And he'd show up and we'd make tender love for the next 14 or 15 hours or so.

01:03:10.340 That's almost in the book.

01:03:12.040 It's very close to it in the book.

01:03:13.440 Very close.

01:03:14.580 I'm paraphrasing there a little bit, one section of it.

01:03:18.560 Did I bring up Arlen Specter specifically just to hear Pat's impression of Arlen Specter?

01:03:23.020 Yes.

01:03:23.240 Yes, I did.

01:03:24.060 He's been dead for many years.

01:03:25.560 But yes, that is why I brought up.

01:03:27.520 I know.

01:03:27.880 Has it been a decade?

01:03:28.860 At least?

01:03:29.880 It's been a while.

01:03:30.720 It's been a while.

01:03:31.900 And he really was behind that.

01:03:34.980 And it's the best evidence of the conspiracy theories that Arlen Specter said the opposite.

01:03:41.120 I don't know.

01:03:42.260 I don't believe anything Arlen Specter ever said.

01:03:44.660 That's for sure.

01:03:45.640 Except, I didn't leave the Republican Party.

01:03:48.440 The Republican Party left me.

01:03:50.480 You believe that, right?

01:03:51.300 Well, I believe that, and I believe John Thune has great abs.

01:03:54.580 That I believe.

01:03:55.320 I do too.

01:03:55.760 I believe he has the body of a Greek god.

01:03:57.680 I've never seen him naked as a jaybird, but...

01:04:00.480 But you're willing to check it out.

01:04:02.060 I can see it in your eyes.

01:04:03.020 Sure, why not?

01:04:03.840 Whatever.

01:04:05.840 I mean...

01:04:06.760 He's a darn handsome man.

01:04:07.960 What a weird thing to put in your book as a senator.

01:04:10.440 I know!

01:04:10.640 It's just so bizarre.

01:04:12.080 Like, why is there a Senate bathhouse?

01:04:14.300 I don't...

01:04:15.180 I don't...

01:04:15.980 Why do we live in a...

01:04:17.680 Are we in Turkey or something?

01:04:18.700 What is this?

01:04:19.840 I don't know.

01:04:20.640 I mean, I'm used to Turkish bathhouses, but not Senate bathhouses.

01:04:22.960 Are you?

01:04:23.480 How are you used to it?

01:04:24.420 Are you, Pat?

01:04:25.020 How often do you get there?

01:04:26.380 Quite a bit.

01:04:27.700 Three, four times a week.

01:04:29.400 Unlimited membership.

01:04:30.460 I just feel like your description of naked male senators, it gets to the cutting room

01:04:41.000 floor.

01:04:41.740 Naked as a jaybird.

01:04:44.500 Look like a Greek god.

01:04:46.800 God, too.

01:04:48.500 Senate majority.

01:04:49.740 Is this how he got to be Senate Majority Leader?

01:04:51.820 Because I don't really understand it otherwise.

01:04:54.820 Yeah, I don't either.

01:04:55.940 I don't either.

01:04:56.860 There's so many better choices.

01:04:58.020 I don't really get it, but maybe it's just the abs the whole time.

01:06:41.660 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

01:06:44.220 888-727-BECK.

01:06:47.620 Let's go to Kevin in Idaho.

01:06:49.740 Hey, Kevin.

01:06:50.220 You're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Stu.

01:06:52.000 Hey, Pat and Stu.

01:06:52.780 I'm about to head over a little past here.

01:06:54.580 I might lose you for a second, but it won't be long.

01:06:56.480 Maybe about five seconds.

01:06:57.420 We'll just wait in silence.

01:06:58.340 Don't worry.

01:06:58.900 Mm-hmm.

01:06:59.520 Okay.

01:07:00.000 Sure.

01:07:01.380 Mm-hmm.

01:07:01.960 Go ahead.

01:07:03.120 All right.

01:07:03.640 I was wondering if you guys would be willing to have an issue pressed on you guys.

01:07:08.120 Something y'all were talking about earlier.

01:07:09.640 Y'all had a little back and forth.

01:07:11.120 The third-term presidency of Trump in here.

01:07:15.100 I want to force the issue on you guys because you guys were talking a lot about kind of how

01:07:19.380 you think it might go down or might not go down.

01:07:21.720 Yeah.

01:07:21.880 What I would really like to know is, would you actually support if you...

01:07:26.880 Oh, and then we'd lose him.

01:07:29.920 He really knows his cell phone coverage map really well.

01:07:32.860 You did break up just when you thought you were going to.

01:07:35.820 All right.

01:07:36.100 Would we what?

01:07:38.100 Yeah.

01:07:38.520 Would you want it?

01:07:39.140 Would you be in support of it?

01:07:40.260 And what reservations, if it went through, what reservations would you have other than

01:07:45.240 the Constitution?

01:07:45.860 Because if they amended the Constitution, that's obviously not an issue because it's not against

01:07:49.900 the Constitution.

01:07:50.620 It's an amendment.

01:07:51.640 Yeah.

01:07:51.880 So what reservations would anyone reasonably have to a third-term Trump presidency?

01:07:57.760 And if I may, I would have my own reservations, but I want to get y'all's thoughts on that.

01:08:02.320 I would like to hear your reservations as well.

01:08:04.580 I will tell you myself.

01:08:06.580 I've got reservations.

01:08:07.480 I am 100% no on a third term for Donald Trump or anyone else.

01:08:11.100 I don't think it's a good idea.

01:08:12.320 I think the Constitution is right on this.

01:08:14.480 It's a good idea to limit the executive power.

01:08:17.560 The reason we have the constitutional amendment was FDR.

01:08:21.700 We wanted to prevent a guy who basically became a dictator for 12 years.

01:08:27.040 And, you know, you might be saying, well, they had a chance to vote for somebody else.

01:08:34.020 And that's true.

01:08:36.360 That's true.

01:08:37.060 But I don't think, though, what we see from the American people over and over again.

01:08:40.880 They don't.

01:08:41.160 We see this in Congress.

01:08:42.020 They don't do it.

01:08:43.260 And that's why people have been in office for 40 years.

01:08:45.920 Right.

01:08:46.180 And this is why, by the way, I also would support constitutional amendments to limit the congressional

01:08:50.920 terms.

01:08:51.500 I think 12 years is plenty of time.

01:08:53.660 Two terms in the Senate and six terms in Congress.

01:08:58.020 12 years.

01:08:58.780 Another person who supported congressional term limits was Donald Trump.

01:09:04.640 Yeah.

01:09:05.160 And I think he was right on that.

01:09:06.600 I think his point is like, hey, if I'm limited, you should be limited, too.

01:09:10.400 But I do think he's going to be interested in this.

01:09:12.620 And I understand why.

01:09:13.600 And if you think he's a great president, you might very well be open to that possibility.

01:09:17.800 I think, though, the Constitution is correct on this issue.

01:09:20.960 And that's where I said, what are you thinking, Kevin?

01:09:23.280 What are your hesitations?

01:09:24.440 Do you agree with any of that?

01:09:25.500 Well, yeah, I agree with most of that in general.

01:09:28.500 Obviously, if it's a amendment to the Constitution, then it's not a constitutional issue in theory.

01:09:33.060 However, to the person who would support a third Trump presidency, what I would say to

01:09:37.460 them is the reservation that I would have and the issue I see with that is that it's basically

01:09:43.420 admitting defeat in the entire Republican Party.

01:09:47.100 But if Trump himself cannot trust anyone else in his team at all to take forward the moniker

01:09:52.600 of what Trump himself is doing, that spells bad news for America, really, because it kind

01:09:57.480 of indicates that there's no other hope other than Trump.

01:09:59.940 And if he doesn't work out and it's just kind of toast, it shows a real lack of confidence

01:10:05.060 in his team and the people around him.

01:10:07.100 The other thing is he's going to be 82 years old by 2028.

01:10:13.000 And he's got tons of energy.

01:10:14.240 I had a problem with Biden at that age.

01:10:17.020 It wasn't just the number.

01:10:18.260 It wasn't just the number.

01:10:19.400 Yes, that is true.

01:10:20.800 However, the chances increase exponentially when you're at that age, you know, because

01:10:25.720 then you're talking about 86 by the time your term ends.

01:10:29.260 It's just no, I'm I'm ready for somebody else at that point.

01:10:34.240 It's a plethora of reasons.

01:10:35.120 And, you know, Kevin mentioned a couple of times there, like it's not a constitutional

01:10:39.700 amendment if you amend the Constitution, which is true technically.

01:10:42.640 But of course, when you look at something that's a constitutional issue, you have to

01:10:46.660 determine whether you think the Constitution is right or wrong on that issue.

01:10:50.460 Right.

01:10:50.640 Like, do you think, you know, is it right or wrong on the Second Amendment?

01:10:54.560 You know, I think it's right.

01:10:55.540 So I wouldn't want to amend that.

01:10:57.620 Do I think, you know, there's a there's a bunch of other stuff that I would like as

01:11:02.880 constitutional amendments that we can come up with a fantasy league on if we want.

01:11:05.620 But like, I think if the Constitution is wrong on something, you do want to amend it.

01:11:09.380 I don't think the Constitution is wrong on this.

01:11:11.260 No, I think the amendment was correct to limit that power.

01:11:14.040 I think it's a it's a smart thing to do for the country.

01:11:17.340 But also what Kevin said, I think, is is real.

01:11:20.480 If what you if you like Donald Trump, that's one thing.

01:11:25.340 If you like Trumpism, it's another thing.

01:11:28.700 If you believe America first or MAGA or Trumpism or whatever you want to call it is the right

01:11:34.940 approach for the country, it can't be limited to one guy.

01:11:38.580 You can't play hero ball.

01:11:41.620 If you're if you're an NBA fan, you've seen this 100 times.

01:11:44.200 You get some guy who's who's on a hot streak and they're just dribbling around.

01:11:47.180 And and if all you can do is, you know, maybe a good example of this, Pat, would be Patrick

01:11:55.600 Mahomes.

01:11:56.900 If you if what your approach is, is Patrick Mahomes has to make incredible play after

01:12:02.740 incredible play after incredible play after he's almost sacked.

01:12:05.960 I mean, he did this.

01:12:06.620 He ran around and avoided 12 more sacks in that game.

01:12:11.440 He's incredible.

01:12:12.940 But if all you're doing is depending on Patrick Mahomes to make every play for your team,

01:12:17.100 it's really hard to win a Super Bowl to lose 40 to 22.

01:12:19.960 You're going to lose 40 to 22 specifically.

01:12:21.760 Yeah.

01:12:22.700 And actually should have been 40 to six.

01:12:24.420 But that's a whole nother story.

01:12:25.380 Right.

01:12:25.700 Right.

01:12:25.960 My point here is that you can't just it can't be Donald Trump hero ball.

01:12:32.720 It's got to be a movement if you believe in the policies behind it.

01:12:36.920 And that's why J.D.

01:12:38.020 Vance, I think, was a really good pick for Donald Trump, because he I think in his in

01:12:42.780 his mind and, you know, we talked about the clip earlier where he didn't say yes to this,

01:12:46.300 but I think he did pick him with his legacy in mind.

01:12:50.080 And maybe maybe there's another thing here.

01:12:52.500 Maybe a third term for Donald Trump is something in his mind.

01:12:55.600 Maybe Donald Trump Jr.'s in his mind.

01:12:57.500 But also J.D.

01:12:58.180 Vance is a person who can bring forward Trumpism in a way that Donald Trump doesn't really do

01:13:03.080 it.

01:13:03.660 And when Donald Trump's not around, he can push those policies forward.

01:13:07.760 Another problem for me would be amending the Constitution, because Democrats are already

01:13:12.300 saying he's trying to become a dictator.

01:13:14.240 They're already saying that he wants a third term.

01:13:17.120 They're already saying that we're not going to have another election while he's around.

01:13:20.200 This will tear the country apart, trying to amend the Constitution specifically for Donald

01:13:26.620 Trump.

01:13:26.960 And that's what you'd be doing, especially if you've rewritten the law or the amendment

01:13:33.160 to reflect the fact that you can't do three consecutive terms, but you can only do three

01:13:39.820 terms if they're not consecutive on your first two or whatever.

01:13:44.320 But you can't be consecutive on your second.

01:13:45.800 It's clear what you're trying to do there.

01:13:48.320 And that would just tear us apart.

01:13:50.220 And I don't know that we need that.

01:13:53.220 I mean, there's part of me that thinks the Democrats would be fine with no term limits

01:13:58.060 on this.

01:13:58.620 I mean, they were.

01:13:59.280 That's how FDR, I mean, it was him, eventually said, wow, this isn't working.

01:14:03.080 And even they came on the side of wanting term limits for the president.

01:14:07.100 I do think that, look, you're going to see a lot of things that you like out of Donald

01:14:10.800 Trump.

01:14:11.460 It has to be deeper than that.

01:14:12.780 He is not immortal.

01:14:14.120 He is not a god.

01:14:15.920 And if you sit here and depend on him to be in office forever, you will eventually be

01:14:20.380 disappointed.

01:14:20.940 That I can promise.

01:14:22.240 And you're right.

01:14:22.700 There's other good people.

01:14:24.040 There's got to be.

01:14:24.960 Or it's not a movement.

01:14:25.840 It's just a guy.

01:14:28.160 Donald Trump's an impressive person.

01:14:29.800 He's accomplished a lot in his life.

01:14:31.480 Whether you like him or not, he's done a lot.

01:14:34.200 He's been able to do a lot of things.

01:14:35.700 He's been able to accomplish a lot of things.

01:14:37.280 He's been able to be incredibly famous, you know, for 45 years.

01:14:44.100 Like, that's really, just that is impressive.

01:14:46.920 All that being said, he's going to die someday.

01:14:49.840 I mean, he almost got shot in front of our eyes.

01:14:52.560 The left wants to take him out.

01:14:55.420 We know, you know, Act Blue donors seem to have a particular interest in ending it quickly.

01:15:03.380 So, you got to build this beyond one guy.

01:15:07.240 It's not a knock on Donald Trump.

01:15:08.820 It's not disloyal to Donald Trump.

01:15:10.760 I know a lot of people care about that crap.

01:15:12.360 I don't care about loyalty to a politician, whoever he is.

01:15:15.960 You can be loyal to him or not.

01:15:17.400 But even if you are concerned about it, it's like, at the end of the day, this man is not

01:15:22.780 immortal.

01:15:23.660 You have to find a way past him.

01:15:26.360 And if you sit here and say, oh, I want term after term after term, eventually that's

01:15:30.540 going to run out.

01:15:31.060 It ran out with FDR.

01:15:33.280 And it's going to run out on Donald Trump, too.

01:15:36.200 That's one enemy he can't beat.

01:15:39.120 And you got to think beyond it.

01:15:41.280 And you have to have something built to be able to take his message forward if you believe

01:15:45.420 in it.

01:15:45.980 Because if you don't have that set up, if you're not comfortable with that, then it's

01:15:49.900 not the message that you're supporting.

01:15:51.840 And I think a lot of people in the United States voted for policies that Donald Trump wasn't

01:15:56.460 just voting for Donald Trump because of his last name.

01:15:59.100 It was voting because they really liked his policies and they really liked the direction

01:16:02.760 he was taking the country.

01:16:03.660 And if that's true, you have to be able to understand that a movement is not one man.

01:16:10.480 Let's go to Tom in Kentucky.

01:16:11.820 Hey, Tom.

01:16:12.600 You're on the Glenn Beck program with Penn, Stu.

01:16:15.000 Hey, I was just looking at this.

01:16:17.020 The amendment we're talking about is the 22nd Amendment.

01:16:21.620 And it was only proposed in 1947 and it was ratified in 1951.

01:16:27.180 So it's not like we're dealing with the founding fathers here or anything like that.

01:16:31.020 And generally speaking, I don't think it's a bad idea, but by the same token, you know,

01:16:39.380 we can vote for anybody we want to, except if he's already been the president twice.

01:16:46.180 That is what the amendment basically says.

01:16:47.520 Yeah.

01:16:48.480 So again, like there obviously was an argument in the 40s about this.

01:16:52.980 The argument in the 40s, what came to everyone's mind, Republicans and Democrats, because of what

01:16:57.780 they just saw.

01:16:58.500 They saw that this was not a good idea.

01:17:02.620 And it was widely agreed upon at the time.

01:17:05.020 Now, it's been a long time since we've dealt with that.

01:17:07.500 So people like this happened, you know, there's an example of this in New York.

01:17:12.060 It happened with Bloomberg.

01:17:14.060 Bloomberg got through two terms.

01:17:15.340 They were like, well, but we want more Bloomberg.

01:17:17.280 Now, again, this is New York.

01:17:18.420 So you have to be skeptical of their of their brainpower in some ways.

01:17:22.720 Love you, New York.

01:17:23.360 I was born there.

01:17:24.120 But, you know, there's New York City not making it.

01:17:26.300 They're about to put Andrew Cuomo in as mayor.

01:17:28.080 So I think we can be critical of their voting habits.

01:17:31.520 But they were like, well, we want more Bloomberg.

01:17:33.840 So they're like, well, what if we just amend the Constitution to have more Bloomberg?

01:17:37.600 And that's what they did.

01:17:38.580 They did.

01:17:39.740 You know, this happened in Russia.

01:17:41.500 They wanted more Putin.

01:17:43.340 And now they have more Putin.

01:17:45.160 Like permanently, forever.

01:17:46.540 And if you say anything against Putin, you're going to fall out a window from like the ninth

01:17:50.820 story.

01:17:51.400 And that's not what's going to happen here.

01:17:52.920 No, but the point is.

01:17:55.080 It's what that can lead to eventually.

01:17:56.580 But the point is, yeah, you don't you don't you make the rules of the game and then you

01:18:02.840 keep those rules.

01:18:04.540 Changing the rules to benefit one one person like this is not usually a good it's not usually

01:18:09.140 it's not a very American thing to do.

01:18:10.920 It's not something we've done very often.

01:18:12.400 But Alan in Idaho, we didn't even do it for George Washington.

01:18:16.160 Welcome.

01:18:17.220 Yeah.

01:18:17.700 Good morning, gentlemen.

01:18:19.080 Hey.

01:18:19.420 Oh, on the same same deal is, hey, we've talked about it before.

01:18:23.560 You know, we'll amend the Constitution.

01:18:25.140 That way we can serve a third term.

01:18:26.700 But what happens when the other side does this?

01:18:28.600 I mean, you know, we've done this during the Obama term.

01:18:31.080 You think Obama would have got a third term?

01:18:33.140 Yeah.

01:18:33.340 Yes.

01:18:33.580 He would have.

01:18:34.100 Yeah.

01:18:35.240 Unquestionably, he would have.

01:18:36.940 That would not have been good.

01:18:38.200 That's exactly the point.

01:18:38.860 Yeah.

01:18:39.220 That's a good point.

01:18:39.920 Thanks, Alan.

01:18:40.440 Yeah.

01:18:40.780 It works both ways.

01:18:42.020 By the way, if you did this, again, they wrote it so Obama could not run.

01:18:46.260 But if you just say, hey, we need to do the third term, which is the only way it would

01:18:48.960 pass, right?

01:18:49.740 Yeah.

01:18:49.940 You could theoretically maybe get some Democrats on board for it.

01:18:52.320 Otherwise, writing it for one man.

01:18:54.160 You're not going to amend the Constitution for one person.

01:18:56.320 And you'll never get enough on both sides to do it.

01:18:58.620 No.

01:18:58.760 This is why it's a silly, I think.

01:18:59.920 Yeah.

01:19:00.080 But I mean, I honestly think the more likely situation is they come up with a way to legally

01:19:06.660 challenge it and see if they can get it through the courts.

01:19:09.240 Again, this is sort of silly because, you know, I don't think they would even admit to wanting

01:19:14.000 to do this right now.

01:19:14.960 But you have seen Donald Trump.

01:19:16.680 They keep like, Donald Trump jokes about a third term.

01:19:19.100 Dude, how long?

01:19:20.160 How long have you guys known Donald Trump?

01:19:22.160 This is not.

01:19:22.880 He doesn't.

01:19:23.300 He's like, oh, maybe I could stay in office for four or more years.

01:19:26.780 That's not a joke.

01:19:28.460 That is a he's floating these things out and you may love him.

01:19:31.620 He may be the best president in the world.

01:19:33.260 Right.

01:19:33.660 Like he's done a lot of good things.

01:19:35.400 We've spent nonstop time talking about all the good things he's done.

01:19:39.120 Yeah.

01:19:39.280 He's been in office at the beginning of the show.

01:19:41.280 We can't keep up with it.

01:19:42.360 It's not a criticism of Donald Trump or like that he if if this was his first term, would

01:19:46.660 he deserve another?

01:19:47.380 That's not what we're talking about here.

01:19:48.900 Yeah.

01:19:49.060 You're talking about amending the Constitution to allow that.

01:19:52.820 And I do believe what we will see is a popular on the right, a swell of support for it.

01:20:00.180 I mean, we're seeing in some of the colors here.

01:20:01.460 Some of them.

01:20:02.060 Yeah.

01:20:02.280 I think that as this as this Overton window is is is is moved, you will see people start

01:20:08.620 talking about this more and more.

01:20:09.940 I just trying to be honest with you.

01:20:11.660 I do think that's coming.

01:20:13.020 I don't think it's a good idea, though.

01:20:14.120 And I and I and I hope, you know, I think the you have to, you know, this is this is

01:20:20.620 what I believe.

01:20:21.100 I'm not going to change it because Donald Trump is the one suggesting it or one of his people

01:20:25.340 is suggesting it.

01:20:26.060 I do think that it is a it's a good rule.

01:20:28.560 It's good to have good rules.

01:20:29.620 Sometimes you need to have good rules.

01:20:31.180 So there's good rules in sports and sometimes they're frustrating to your team.

01:22:09.960 Triple eight seven two seven B.E.C.K.

01:22:12.580 Uh, wow.

01:22:15.460 Um, did you see what happened to John Larson?

01:22:18.760 Uh, Representative John Larson.

01:22:21.100 Hmm.

01:22:21.400 I'm not sure we have.

01:22:22.600 I'm going to have to wait a few minutes.

01:22:24.220 But he it looks like it looks like in the middle of a speech.

01:22:28.080 He, uh, has a stroke.

01:22:30.860 Now, I think they're saying it's something else, but they always do.

01:22:33.720 So I don't know what the truth is here.

01:22:36.400 Um, but John Larson is.

01:22:38.400 Well, let's let's play a little bit of it.

01:22:39.900 Don't worry.

01:22:41.100 No one on the Republican side in the House and Senate who control both the House and Senate is going to speak up.

01:22:53.760 Oh, boy.

01:22:54.660 Oh, man.

01:22:55.640 And challenge us.

01:23:01.280 Oh, wow.

01:23:02.400 Wow.

01:23:02.560 Yeah.

01:23:02.680 This is bad.

01:23:03.480 Yeah.

01:23:03.860 It's disturbing.

01:23:08.160 Oh, that's sad.

01:23:09.100 Is this common?

01:23:10.040 Why is this?

01:23:10.720 I only see it with politicians.

01:23:12.360 We need to protect America.

01:23:13.460 Yeah, I don't know.

01:23:14.660 All right.

01:23:15.220 We got it.

01:23:15.800 He's it's really hard to watch.

01:23:17.640 That's it's hard to see.

01:23:19.200 Um, and you don't want that to happen to anybody.

01:23:21.320 They're calling it, I think, an adverse reaction to medication.

01:23:25.920 I hope it's that.

01:23:27.440 Yeah.

01:23:28.000 But, you know, with Mitch McConnell, it was he was dehydrated.

01:23:32.860 And this is a an adverse reaction to medication.

01:23:37.720 Okay.

01:23:39.000 So you start freezing up when you're dehydrated multiple times.

01:23:44.400 You fall downstairs multiple times.

01:23:47.420 You're in a wheelchair.

01:23:48.320 Got to be lifted into an SUV when you leave the Senate.

01:23:52.160 Yikes.

01:26:02.620 888-727-BECK.

01:26:06.520 The Democrats continue to make a lot of noise about what's happening with Doge.

01:26:12.780 Unelected officials, unprecedented. This is unbelievable.

01:26:16.540 We'll get into Representative Rosa DeLauro.

01:26:19.880 You remember Rosa, right?

01:26:21.200 Oh my gosh.

01:26:21.880 From Connecticut?

01:26:22.260 Yes, I do remember her.

01:26:23.180 How could you forget her?

01:26:24.760 She has been in office since 1990.

01:26:29.940 So that's 35 years.

01:26:32.160 But she's just a spry 81 years old now.

01:26:35.340 So she's still doing a terrific job.

01:26:39.540 She's New Haven. New Haven area.

01:26:41.180 Yeah.

01:26:41.780 I lived near New Haven at that time.

01:26:44.400 And I was in 8th grade.

01:26:46.640 8th grade?

01:26:47.220 8th grade.

01:26:47.920 So she's been in office since you've been in 8th grade.

01:26:52.180 8th grade or 9th grade, depending.

01:26:53.480 Yeah.

01:26:53.820 Somewhere in there.

01:26:54.760 Oh, that's crazy.

01:26:55.960 That is crazy.

01:26:56.800 That's pretty amazing.

01:26:58.180 That is.

01:26:58.600 And she, I will say, looks...

01:27:00.400 Oh, terrific.

01:27:01.580 Fantastic.

01:27:02.140 She looks like she's not a day over 93.

01:27:05.160 Yeah.

01:27:05.380 And a lot of people ask, did she get her hair colored?

01:27:07.300 No.

01:27:07.600 That's natural.

01:27:08.280 No, right.

01:27:08.880 Yeah.

01:27:09.100 Yeah.

01:27:09.400 That's natural.

01:27:09.900 There's no hair color whatsoever involved here.

01:27:12.460 Mm-hmm.

01:27:12.640 We'll share what she had to say and much more coming up in one minute.

01:27:17.900 Let me tell you first about pre-born.

01:27:19.640 It is sad to recognize that the abortion pill has become, really, the pro-abortion left's

01:27:24.780 response to the overturning of Roe vs. Wade.

01:27:27.400 Shockingly, they want to get around court decisions when they don't like them.

01:27:30.740 Counts for over 60% of abortions now in the United States.

01:27:33.780 Thank God there's a miraculous abortion reversal pill available.

01:27:36.380 I never knew about it.

01:27:37.180 Did you know about this, Pat?

01:27:38.320 No, just recently.

01:27:40.080 Reversal pill.

01:27:40.560 I'd never heard of it.

01:27:41.280 Never heard of it until recently.

01:27:42.440 Yeah.

01:27:43.180 Fascinating.

01:27:43.640 As long as a woman takes it within a certain amount of time after taking the abortion pill,

01:27:47.200 it can make a big difference.

01:27:48.760 The Ministry of Pre-Born is leading the charge with that, working to save as many babies'

01:27:52.720 lives as they can.

01:27:54.200 We're so proud to be partnering with Pre-Born every day.

01:27:56.920 They sponsor free ultrasounds for women as well as providing the abortion reversal pill

01:28:01.280 in cases where it's possible.

01:28:03.260 So, hey, you know, support Pre-Born.

01:28:05.860 They're just a great organization, Pat.

01:28:07.440 I know you've been talking about them for a while as well.

01:28:09.100 These people are fantastic, doing incredible work.

01:28:12.060 They are.

01:28:12.460 They're saving 200 babies a day with help from people like you.

01:28:16.100 So, donate if you can.

01:28:17.600 Pound 250 is where you go on your phone.

01:28:19.960 And, of course, use the keyword baby.

01:28:21.660 It's pound 250.

01:28:22.600 The keyword is baby.

01:28:23.680 Or you can donate securely online at preborn.com slash Beck.

01:28:27.120 Preborn.com slash Beck.

01:28:28.480 It is sponsored by Pre-Born.

01:28:30.880 As you might expect.

01:28:33.080 I would expect that.

01:28:34.100 Yeah, that's it.

01:28:34.880 Most people would.

01:28:37.540 So, Representative Rosa DeLauro, she's been doing just incredible work in the U.S. Congress

01:28:42.900 for 35 years now.

01:28:46.100 So, she's been elected 17 times?

01:28:52.340 That's the hell is the matter with you in New Haven, Connecticut?

01:28:57.020 Stop it.

01:28:57.820 That's why you need turbo.

01:28:58.660 Stop.

01:28:58.920 People just get an autopilot.

01:29:00.340 They don't even know.

01:29:00.940 They don't even know who she is anymore.

01:29:02.280 It's just, oh, I know that name and I'm checking the box.

01:29:04.780 That's bad.

01:29:05.560 Yep.

01:29:06.120 Because you don't even look into anybody else.

01:29:08.880 Well, I know that name.

01:29:10.340 Well, yeah.

01:29:10.860 You've known that name for 35 freaking years.

01:29:14.740 She's been your representative all that time.

01:29:17.840 Really?

01:29:18.380 You want to give her another term?

01:29:21.060 Stop it.

01:29:22.000 And what is she known for?

01:29:23.100 Honestly, what's she known for?

01:29:24.300 As I look up at the video we're about to potentially play, I see the purple hair.

01:29:28.660 She's known for purple hair.

01:29:29.900 Now, of course, as we just noted, natural.

01:29:33.240 It's natural purple.

01:29:34.580 She's just a natural purple head.

01:29:36.720 That's just who she is.

01:29:38.060 Right.

01:29:38.600 Right, right.

01:29:39.500 But that's all she's known for.

01:29:41.080 She's not, she's a...

01:29:42.540 Well, she's known for stupidity as well as purple hair.

01:29:45.440 That's true.

01:29:46.000 Yeah.

01:29:46.120 But mostly just being a complete non-entity.

01:29:48.420 Yeah, that is true.

01:29:50.220 How many times have we spoken of Rosa DeLauro in the last 35 years since we left Connecticut

01:29:55.520 anyway?

01:29:56.360 Not that many times.

01:29:57.060 Not that many times.

01:29:57.800 I think this is the first time.

01:30:00.100 We knew of her because she was the representative of the area where we lived.

01:30:05.080 Yes.

01:30:05.340 Right.

01:30:05.460 And she was very, very bad then.

01:30:07.760 Yeah.

01:30:08.080 Was she the...

01:30:08.600 Couldn't stand her then.

01:30:09.700 Was she the mayor of New Haven?

01:30:11.020 Am I remembering that correctly?

01:30:11.940 Oh, that might be.

01:30:12.680 That might be.

01:30:13.280 Yeah, that might be right.

01:30:14.200 At some point.

01:30:14.220 I could be wrong on that.

01:30:15.720 So apologies to her illustrious career if I am.

01:30:18.400 But I think that's where she was at one point.

01:30:21.080 Back when you were hosting a show with Glenn in that city.

01:30:24.980 Mm-hmm.

01:30:25.540 And she was a joke then.

01:30:28.000 Yes, she was.

01:30:28.740 Yes.

01:30:29.200 I mean, she was bad then.

01:30:30.600 Yeah.

01:30:30.980 And Connecticut has what they've done and what they do is has rewarded her with multiple

01:30:36.460 decades of paying her a six-figure salary to do a terrible job.

01:30:41.540 Yeah.

01:30:41.780 And that is just wrong.

01:30:44.300 It's unacceptable.

01:30:45.360 It is what it is.

01:30:46.280 It is.

01:30:47.080 But here's what she has to say about Doge and what Doge is doing.

01:30:51.100 The other piece of that is the outrage of the American public.

01:30:54.560 And when you think about there is the legal issue, but you have to think about what the,

01:31:00.220 you know, what are the repercussions to American families?

01:31:04.440 You take education.

01:31:06.080 You're looking at denying people school lunches.

01:31:10.020 You are taking the opportunity for a college education.

01:31:13.060 If you cut Pell Grants, you cut student financial aid.

01:31:17.160 There are a whole range of.

01:31:19.260 Pause it for a second.

01:31:20.340 Student financial aid.

01:31:21.560 Nobody has to pay back their loans from their student loans anymore.

01:31:26.900 What do you mean?

01:31:28.080 Well, they do now, but they didn't for a while.

01:31:30.660 Nobody has a student loan anymore because Biden wiped them all out.

01:31:34.640 These people.

01:31:35.820 All right.

01:31:36.100 Let's hear what these services do for the American public.

01:31:40.140 That's the word that has to get out.

01:31:42.240 When you cut education.

01:31:43.260 How much socialism can we get?

01:31:44.700 That's the word.

01:31:45.200 Cut Title I.

01:31:46.240 72,000 teachers nationwide are gone.

01:31:49.480 Your kid may be in a classroom that doesn't have a teacher.

01:31:53.200 Special education for developmentally challenged kids.

01:31:56.440 That will be cut.

01:31:57.660 What happens to those kids?

01:31:59.120 But again, it's USAID.

01:32:01.520 It's education.

01:32:02.520 It's not USAID.

01:32:03.320 Medicaid.

01:32:04.200 And it is about the effect of what happens.

01:32:06.720 I can't take it anymore.

01:32:09.260 It's not even USAID.

01:32:11.180 And I.

01:32:11.820 It should be.

01:32:12.460 I don't even want to pronounce it that way anymore because it's important to note.

01:32:16.560 It's USAID, which stands for Agency of International Development.

01:32:20.600 Right.

01:32:20.740 It's got nothing to do with 72,000 teachers in America.

01:32:24.960 It might have 72,000 teachers in Uganda.

01:32:30.780 I don't know.

01:32:31.460 Maybe we fund 72,000 teachers there through USAID.

01:32:36.620 But they are funding.

01:32:38.760 Probably not.

01:32:39.020 I feel like their programs don't do any good.

01:32:41.820 So.

01:32:42.060 Yeah.

01:32:42.200 Probably not even teachers in Uganda who.

01:32:45.260 They're trying to make it out, though, as if children are going to die because this program has been at least suspended for a while.

01:32:53.660 At least looked into.

01:32:55.540 Yeah.

01:32:55.800 And now that's going to kill children all over the world.

01:32:58.740 And now Rosa DeLora are trying to make it about teachers and students in America.

01:33:04.080 I mean.

01:33:04.800 Same.

01:33:05.320 These are the same tactics we've been seeing forever.

01:33:07.360 Forever.

01:33:08.020 She's a good representative of that argument because his argument's been around for as long as she's been in Congress, which is forever.

01:33:14.400 Yeah.

01:33:15.180 You know, it really is sort of like if you're falling for this crap at this point, I don't know what we even do to convince you.

01:33:23.220 You know.

01:33:23.460 Isn't it nice, though, that if you're falling for this kind of crap, you've sort of fallen out of power and you can't do anything about it right now.

01:33:32.560 For the moment.

01:33:33.400 For the moment.

01:33:33.880 For the moment.

01:33:34.360 And let's savor that moment.

01:33:36.180 Fantastic.

01:33:37.120 Yeah.

01:33:37.220 I love it.

01:33:38.340 I do.

01:33:38.880 I really do love it.

01:33:39.500 I do love it.

01:33:40.220 I do love it.

01:33:41.040 And Rosa DeLora is, you know, a good example of just this sort of old way of thinking.

01:33:46.340 Yeah.

01:33:47.820 And I don't know that that works anymore.

01:33:51.480 Do you think it works?

01:33:53.480 I mean, it definitely does on some people, right?

01:33:55.160 I mean, it was still a relatively close election.

01:33:57.200 We've got a one-seat majority, basically, in the House because of some of the appointments Trump has made.

01:34:02.120 So, it's still close, right?

01:34:05.940 It's still a close country.

01:34:07.060 It's shocking that that sort of argument would work on anybody at this point.

01:34:10.160 The scare tactics of we're not going to have a teacher.

01:34:12.280 I mean, you're going to have teachers in your classrooms.

01:34:15.660 Like, they might suck, frankly.

01:34:18.580 Yeah.

01:34:18.840 But you're probably going to have somebody there.

01:34:20.980 But if you open this up, if you got rid of all public education completely, you'd still have teachers in your classrooms.

01:34:27.280 In fact, the only time we didn't have teachers in classrooms is when the Democrats told them that they were going to stay home and not go to school and they were going to close all the schools.

01:34:33.260 That's when you didn't have teachers in classrooms.

01:34:35.800 That's about it.

01:34:36.580 The market would absolutely be able to solve that problem if you would allow it to.

01:34:41.340 What about children in Chad who don't have faces?

01:34:45.320 They don't have faces?

01:34:47.360 Yeah.

01:34:47.640 We're buying children in Chad.

01:34:50.180 We're buying?

01:34:51.020 We should not be buying children in Chad, Pat.

01:34:53.600 Eyes, noses, mouths.

01:34:54.200 Oh, oh, they're buying them.

01:34:55.220 Yeah.

01:34:55.600 Okay, you're buying them.

01:34:56.340 You're getting them face parts so that they can now have a face, which they didn't have before.

01:35:03.220 Can I play the Doge committee here for a second?

01:35:05.080 Sure.

01:35:05.280 How did they get no faces?

01:35:08.520 I think it's the water and the air in Chad.

01:35:11.360 So water and the air in Chad is so bad.

01:35:13.920 The kids, about 98% of them are born without a face.

01:35:18.280 Without a face, so we have to buy them eyeballs?

01:35:21.440 Eyeballs, noses.

01:35:22.940 Don't forget their nose.

01:35:23.580 You look like Voldemort without a nose.

01:35:27.120 And then you need a mouth and I think ears as well.

01:35:31.380 Can I follow up?

01:35:32.320 Yeah, sure.

01:35:32.800 Go ahead.

01:35:35.280 Have you done an environmental study to tie the water to?

01:35:39.620 No, I just know that that's a problem.

01:35:41.280 You know it.

01:35:41.540 Yeah.

01:35:41.860 Okay.

01:35:42.180 Yeah.

01:35:42.400 I just felt it.

01:35:43.660 And I'm going to ask and answer a question real quick.

01:35:46.840 Okay.

01:35:47.140 Which is, where are you getting all these eyeballs?

01:35:49.280 Oh, your best friend?

01:35:51.060 Oh, your best friend knows a company that makes eyeballs?

01:35:53.660 Oh, wow.

01:35:54.100 That's a surprise.

01:35:55.120 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:35:55.300 Did I get it right?

01:35:56.440 Did I get it right?

01:35:57.260 You got it right.

01:35:58.220 Wow.

01:35:58.880 How did you know that?

01:35:59.840 Yeah, I know.

01:36:00.320 It's just shocking.

01:36:00.520 He makes eyeballs, noses, and mouths.

01:36:04.160 Yeah.

01:36:04.360 Yeah.

01:36:04.680 That's how, I don't know how I knew it.

01:36:06.380 It's amazing how that happened.

01:36:07.340 They're a little bit rubbery, I guess, on the lips.

01:36:10.000 But it wouldn't happen to be one of your donors, would it?

01:36:13.040 I just, I have curiosity.

01:36:14.440 That has nothing to do with it, but yes.

01:36:16.420 It does, of course.

01:36:17.300 Nothing to do with it whatsoever, but shockingly, I got that right, too.

01:36:21.440 Yeah, yeah.

01:36:22.120 Wow.

01:36:22.720 That's the way the world works.

01:36:24.140 It is.

01:36:24.580 That is where we are.

01:36:25.700 It just is.

01:36:27.180 And it's pathetic.

01:36:28.480 Pathetic.

01:36:28.800 And they don't want this looked into in any way because we're stopping their gravy train

01:36:34.520 right here.

01:36:35.800 I mean, this means a lot of money and a lot of power for a lot of people.

01:36:39.920 And as Glenn has mentioned several times, more of what USAID does than save children without

01:36:49.080 faces is regime change in third world nations.

01:36:54.900 I mean, how many coups have they accomplished?

01:36:57.940 How many times did they overthrow Ukraine?

01:37:00.280 I mean, it's over and over and over.

01:37:02.840 They're using their money and these funds for something other than taxpayers certainly intend

01:37:08.460 these funds to go to.

01:37:10.600 Yeah.

01:37:11.180 And if you could dig out whatever percentage of that budget is worthwhile, maybe there

01:37:17.600 is something in there.

01:37:18.420 I don't know.

01:37:19.120 I mean, there are definitely some.

01:37:20.860 I'm sure they've done some good.

01:37:22.160 I will say there are definitely programs in there that do help people.

01:37:25.400 Yeah.

01:37:25.660 Now, whether that's the responsibility of the United States or the appropriate use of

01:37:29.100 taxpayer dollars is another question.

01:37:31.600 But let's kind of come up with the tier process here.

01:37:35.000 Let's say the A tier, Pat, is money that we should be spending on something valuable.

01:37:42.680 That's A.

01:37:43.460 A tier.

01:37:44.080 Okay.

01:37:44.420 B tier is money maybe we shouldn't be spending.

01:37:47.260 Maybe that shouldn't be our responsibility, but it's still doing a lot of good.

01:37:50.320 Oh, okay.

01:37:50.680 Okay.

01:37:50.960 Is this like what would fit into that category, for instance?

01:37:53.860 Like a Shakespearean play?

01:37:55.800 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:37:58.140 A one-legged.

01:37:59.080 No, I'm sorry.

01:38:00.260 Non-binary nun in Columbia?

01:38:03.720 There's a ton of non-binary nuns these days.

01:38:06.200 I've noticed a huge increase.

01:38:07.300 And that's why we funnel so much money to Columbia for them.

01:38:10.460 So, Pat, that would not fall.

01:38:11.680 Okay.

01:38:11.880 So, that's not in category B?

01:38:13.360 No.

01:38:13.860 Okay.

01:38:14.080 C tier.

01:38:14.840 Yeah.

01:38:15.220 Is money we shouldn't be spending because it's not really our responsibility on things that

01:38:19.180 don't make any difference at all.

01:38:21.480 Yeah.

01:38:21.660 Maybe we could put your one-legged nun into the C tier.

01:38:24.740 Non-binary.

01:38:25.240 Don't forget.

01:38:25.980 Oh, yeah.

01:38:26.220 She's non-binary.

01:38:27.900 They are non-binary.

01:38:29.500 They are non-binary.

01:38:30.080 Not she.

01:38:30.800 Not she.

01:38:31.440 They are non-binary.

01:38:32.800 Yes.

01:38:33.160 Let's get our pronouns correct.

01:38:34.820 I don't even make...

01:38:35.400 No, I can't.

01:38:36.180 I'm sorry, Pat.

01:38:36.780 I can't.

01:38:37.320 I'm sorry.

01:38:38.080 I can't even put that into the C category.

01:38:40.520 Really?

01:38:40.760 Because I would say that probably actually does do damage.

01:38:44.940 Most likely because the government that we're doing it under probably hates the policy.

01:38:50.580 So, they hate us.

01:38:52.220 That's probably true.

01:38:52.640 And it's probably causing animosity in our foreign relations.

01:38:56.380 Not to mention...

01:38:56.560 We've heard that that's going on.

01:38:58.160 Not to mention the non-binary thing.

01:38:59.460 I don't think it's a positive.

01:39:00.900 Calling people non-binary.

01:39:02.200 There's men and there's women.

01:39:03.600 So, I would say something like...

01:39:05.780 What, are you going biblical on me now?

01:39:07.840 Yeah.

01:39:08.340 Yeah, I kind of am on that one.

01:39:09.440 Oh, wow.

01:39:09.520 So, the C tier, let's say it's more like a normal Shakespeare, like a Romeo and Juliet in

01:39:17.120 the park.

01:39:17.800 Okay.

01:39:18.100 Okay, like not doing any damage, you know, but like why the heck are we paying for it?

01:39:22.800 Okay.

01:39:22.940 D tier would be your one-legged nun.

01:39:25.620 Okay.

01:39:26.060 Because if you shouldn't be spending...

01:39:27.280 Non-binary nun.

01:39:27.620 Non-binary nun.

01:39:28.300 I keep forgetting that part.

01:39:29.600 Man.

01:39:29.880 One-legged non-binary nun.

01:39:31.400 It's just discriminatory.

01:39:32.040 I am.

01:39:32.520 I'm kind of ashamed of that right now.

01:39:33.760 It's shocking.

01:39:34.540 Yeah.

01:39:34.880 D tier would be that, which is like, okay, we should spend the money and it does a little

01:39:39.140 bit of damage.

01:39:40.100 And then the E or F tiers get into what the vast majority of the portfolio is, which we shouldn't

01:39:45.920 be spending it and it's doing real hardcore damage.

01:39:48.720 Yeah.

01:39:49.080 It's not just a...

01:39:49.760 We're using it to overthrow governments or it's going into somebody's bank account.

01:39:53.700 Right.

01:39:53.920 It's going in directly to corruption.

01:39:56.120 There's a...

01:39:56.720 We have a story today.

01:39:57.900 I don't have it pulled up in front of me, but I believe the number is 27% of funding

01:40:02.700 into...

01:40:03.420 I believe it's the Department of Education's funding goes to DEI programs.

01:40:08.720 27%.

01:40:09.120 27%.

01:40:11.880 That's bonkers.

01:40:14.700 Like, because you think, you think, okay, well, yeah, sure.

01:40:17.320 Rand Paul gets up in front of everybody and pulls out five programs and they all sound

01:40:20.620 really crazy and that's it.

01:40:22.100 No.

01:40:22.800 Like a quarter of the budget...

01:40:24.200 That's unreal.

01:40:24.940 ...is going to this.

01:40:25.940 Let me get the exact thing for you here.

01:40:28.020 And I mean, basically, that's what President Trump was talking about the other day is how

01:40:32.540 much of this stuff goes to absolute nonsense and we've just got to put a stop to it.

01:40:37.620 We have to.

01:40:39.240 60% is all they use for actual aid to anybody or actual help or humanitarian efforts.

01:40:49.740 It's like 60% of the budget.

01:40:51.500 And even that is like, I mean, is it really valuable?

01:40:55.060 It's like, is it in your A category?

01:40:56.840 Is it in your B category?

01:40:57.980 Or is it in your C category?

01:41:00.540 We don't even know.

01:41:01.480 Yeah.

01:41:01.880 We don't even know.

01:41:02.980 A lot of it is just blind.

01:41:04.120 Yeah.

01:41:04.300 Maybe that's the E category.

01:41:05.700 And then the F is the one that's really doing the damage.

01:41:07.660 We're building this tier list on the fly.

01:41:09.720 By the way, I was slight misspeak there.

01:41:12.000 27% of National Science Foundation grants went to DEI projects.

01:41:17.280 0.29% of all grants with start dates in 2021 centered on DEI.

01:41:23.340 By 2024, it was up to 27%.

01:41:26.700 So from 0.29% to 27% during Biden.

01:41:30.680 Tell me the guy didn't make a difference.

01:41:32.300 Oh my gosh.

01:41:33.000 You can say he was a disaster.

01:41:34.060 You could say he was asleep at the wheel.

01:41:35.620 Yeah.

01:41:35.880 The guy made a difference.

01:41:37.400 The difference was negative.

01:41:38.820 Right.

01:41:39.240 But the difference was made.

01:41:40.560 Right.

01:41:41.340 More coming up in one minute.

01:41:42.440 All right.

01:41:46.080 Eddie wrote in about his Relief Factor experience.

01:41:49.440 He says,

01:41:49.920 About a year or so ago, I was suffering with really awful back pain.

01:41:53.940 To the point that I dreaded even going out to the mailbox.

01:41:57.920 This went on for months and I was starting to lose hope.

01:42:00.240 But once I started taking Relief Factor, within a week, the back pain was completely gone.

01:42:04.480 There was no more pain.

01:42:05.860 Thank you for everything.

01:42:06.800 I'm one happy customer, says Eddie.

01:42:51.820 Station ID.

01:43:00.580 Gotta say, Stu, I'm a little disappointed.

01:43:05.260 I thought you were a little more compassionate toward children and Chad born without faces.

01:43:11.300 I mean, what did I put them in?

01:43:12.420 You pretty much don't care.

01:43:13.220 I guess I put them in a...

01:43:14.540 Yeah, you put them in the...

01:43:15.380 I think you put them in the...

01:43:16.080 I'd say B tier.

01:43:17.060 Did you say B?

01:43:17.480 Yeah, it's money we shouldn't spend, but actually probably does some good.

01:43:20.120 I feel like if you have no face at all and you have a great organization like your best

01:43:24.540 friend's company that's making eyeballs and noses.

01:43:27.720 It's a good cause, right?

01:43:28.740 Or it could fit into E or F, the corruption one.

01:43:32.240 Oh, wow.

01:43:33.040 It could be that one.

01:43:33.880 Because it could be that you are...

01:43:35.100 You wouldn't be having to get a kickback from each sale of each eyeball, right?

01:43:38.840 That wouldn't happen to be something that's going on, would it?

01:43:40.880 No.

01:43:41.200 You don't happen to be an investor in their company by any chance.

01:43:43.480 No.

01:43:44.100 No?

01:43:44.660 I just...

01:43:45.360 I've been saving up for that Ferrari that I just parked in the parking lot.

01:43:49.320 Because it's a very nice Ferrari.

01:43:50.360 I've been saving up for it for a long time.

01:43:52.240 Now, I did notice you have a bumper sticker with just a bunch of eyeballs on it.

01:43:55.720 I thought that was weird.

01:43:57.720 Especially on a Ferrari.

01:43:58.880 On a Ferrari.

01:43:59.620 I don't know.

01:43:59.980 It seemed appropriate.

01:44:00.620 It did seem appropriate.

01:44:01.760 Yeah, it did seem appropriate.

01:44:02.300 And it does seem like exactly...

01:44:03.880 Now, you didn't happen to invest in this company, let's say, two weeks before the funding

01:44:09.800 went out.

01:44:11.200 I think it was...

01:44:11.800 No, I think it was like 17 days.

01:44:13.600 Oh, okay.

01:44:14.300 Yeah.

01:44:14.760 You just decided one day, you're like, you know what?

01:44:16.700 That eyeball company looks promising.

01:44:18.540 Yeah.

01:44:18.640 Uh-huh.

01:44:18.880 And it turned out to be a pretty good investment.

01:44:21.560 It's up like 600% now.

01:44:23.080 Yeah.

01:44:23.480 Yeah.

01:44:23.740 So, it's nice.

01:44:24.600 The Nancy Pelosi plan.

01:44:25.780 Not everybody has the feel I have for the market.

01:44:29.640 You know what I mean?

01:44:30.120 No, that's definitely true.

01:44:31.440 You do have that Pelosi-esque vibe.

01:44:34.320 You just seem to nail every one of your stock picks.

01:44:36.480 All of them.

01:44:36.880 Yeah.

01:44:37.240 Really impressive.

01:44:38.060 Well, except for Bitcoin.

01:44:39.080 That's about the...

01:44:39.960 There's one that I did not nail.

01:44:41.660 No.

01:44:42.100 So, others have and good for them.

01:44:44.100 That's great.

01:44:44.700 Yeah, those people.

01:44:46.200 They're great.

01:44:46.820 They're not going to get any eyeballs from me, though.

01:44:48.500 I'll tell you that right now.

01:44:49.760 They can buy their own eyeballs.

01:44:52.360 I'm not helping them on that.

01:44:53.640 Because they what?

01:44:54.680 Because they already invested it.

01:44:56.240 Yeah.

01:44:56.520 And made a lot of money.

01:44:58.220 How much time do we have here, BJ?

01:44:59.980 Okay.

01:45:00.320 Because I want to play what Donald Trump had to say about the hostage situation.

01:45:05.340 It's changed again, thanks to Hamas.

01:45:09.360 And here's what President Trump said about a cut-in.

01:45:12.000 When I see that scene that I saw today with people coming out of helicopters and airplanes that are emaciated, that look like they haven't had a meal in a month, there's no reason for that.

01:45:26.120 And I don't know how much longer we can take it.

01:45:28.460 Do you think you want to recast about this?

01:45:30.140 I don't know how long we can take it.

01:45:32.140 When I watch people that were healthy people a reasonably short number of years ago, and you look at them today, they look like they've aged 25 years.

01:45:43.840 Right.

01:45:43.920 They literally look like the old pictures of Holocaust survivors, the same thing.

01:45:51.000 I mean, the same thing.

01:45:52.480 And I don't know how long we're going to take this.

01:45:56.420 He has said that the hostages, all of them, need to be returned by Saturday at noon or all hell breaks loose.

01:46:07.340 And then so the next question was, what does that mean?

01:46:10.040 And he said, they'll find out, and so will you, on Saturday, if they don't return the hostages.

01:46:16.760 But this drips and drabs thing that they've been getting away with now for a month with Hamas, it's not right.

01:46:25.140 And it needs to stop.

01:46:26.260 We just need to have the hostages return.

01:46:28.420 What is this game we're playing here?

01:46:30.720 Bizarre.

01:46:31.240 Give them back.

01:46:31.960 Yeah.

01:46:32.400 Give them back now.

01:46:34.060 And we're not giving you 200 criminals in return for them.

01:46:37.960 But that's what's been going on so far.

01:46:40.040 This is Glenn Beck.

01:46:48.500 After more than a year of war, terror, and pain in Israel, there is still a great demand for basic humanitarian aid.

01:46:55.560 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has supported and continues to support those in the Holy Land still facing the lingering horrors of war and those who are in desperate need right now.

01:47:05.940 Your ongoing monthly gift of $45 will provide critically needed aid to communities in the North and South devastated by the ongoing war.

01:47:14.160 Your generous donation each month will deliver help to those in need, including evacuees and refugees from war-torn areas, first responders, volunteers, wounded soldiers, elderly Holocaust survivors, families who have lost everything.

01:47:28.940 You can give hope during a time of great uncertainty.

01:47:32.340 I urge you, please give a gift to bless Israel and her people by visiting supportifcj.org.

01:47:38.420 That's one word, supportifcj.org.

01:47:41.420 Or call 888-488-IFCJ.

01:47:44.120 888-488-IFCJ.

01:47:46.560 888-488-4325.

01:47:48.900 Glenn Beck.

01:47:50.640 Missed this show?

01:47:51.700 Listen anytime, anywhere podcasts are found.

01:47:54.880 Stick around.

01:47:55.780 More after the break.

01:47:56.820 Stand up!

01:48:20.460 Great to have you with us.

01:48:23.380 888-727-BECK.

01:48:26.380 Valentine's Day is on, uh, what day?

01:48:30.520 Is it Sunday?

01:48:31.680 Friday?

01:48:32.280 Oh, no, it's Friday.

01:48:33.180 Yeah.

01:48:33.560 Wow.

01:48:33.920 I mean, I assume you know that from the reservations you've already booked.

01:48:38.120 Right.

01:48:38.820 Right.

01:48:39.160 Yeah.

01:48:39.560 Yes.

01:48:39.860 Okay.

01:48:40.320 Yes.

01:48:40.720 That's why it was so busy when I booked it.

01:48:43.360 And we had to go in there some other time than I usually wanted to go in.

01:48:48.480 Oh, really?

01:48:49.020 Yeah.

01:48:49.580 Yeah.

01:48:49.960 And so, yeah, but that's all set.

01:48:53.640 Because I think ahead.

01:48:54.760 I'm not like the procrastinators who have put this off and now are just trying to scramble

01:48:59.300 right now.

01:48:59.860 But if you're one of those people who have put things off until now, gosh, I wonder if

01:49:05.840 there's any kind of cookie order you could place.

01:49:10.300 Oh, probably not.

01:49:11.680 To take advantage of a 10% off sale right now.

01:49:14.720 I doubt it.

01:49:15.240 Because they-

01:49:15.660 Four procrastinators in particular.

01:49:17.680 Oh, really?

01:49:18.500 Yes.

01:49:19.120 I like that.

01:49:20.060 I don't know.

01:49:20.860 It looks like a foreign language, like it's from Finland or something.

01:49:23.880 Then Kexi?

01:49:24.760 I don't know what that means.

01:49:26.340 K-E-K-S-I?

01:49:27.560 Yeah.

01:49:28.100 Yeah.

01:49:28.500 Like Kexi.com, where you could go there and get 10% off cookies and save yourself.

01:49:34.360 And then on orders over $100, we'll pick up the shipping tab.

01:49:38.640 So I don't know about we.

01:49:40.700 I don't know who.

01:49:41.380 I think I'm using we in the royal sense there, but Kexi.com for that.

01:49:47.860 The president has been talking about tariffs lately, which I know you love, Stu.

01:49:55.840 I know you're a big, big fan and advocate of tariffs.

01:49:59.120 I'm not a big fan of tariffs.

01:50:01.020 Wait, when did that happen?

01:50:02.060 I know.

01:50:02.540 It's a shocking turn.

01:50:03.620 I just had it over the weekend.

01:50:04.960 Oh, okay.

01:50:05.480 I totally changed my mind based on the political winds.

01:50:08.800 Did you have to pay extra at some kind of shop where they're selling Eagles paraphernalia

01:50:13.080 or something, and that pissed you off a little bit?

01:50:15.040 Yes, I was.

01:50:16.760 Well, that's interesting.

01:50:17.780 I want my imported Eagles material to be very cheap.

01:50:20.820 No, yeah.

01:50:21.220 As an economic policy, not a fan of it.

01:50:23.000 I don't think it works and don't think it's a good way to go.

01:50:26.920 That being said, of course, I don't think that's usually how they work with the Trump administration.

01:50:31.560 It's mostly just threats and negotiation.

01:50:34.280 And negotiation, and so it certainly does work for that.

01:50:37.720 And, of course, there's limitations on that, but it certainly works so far.

01:50:40.740 Yeah.

01:50:41.200 We've seen it in a couple of countries, not just Colombia, but also Mexico, Canada.

01:50:49.240 Brought them right to the table.

01:50:51.000 Brings them to the table.

01:50:51.960 Yeah.

01:50:52.200 It does.

01:50:53.220 It's been effective in that way so far.

01:50:55.120 Now, will we come up with an arrangement that's agreeable to both parties?

01:50:59.020 It's happened last time.

01:50:59.760 I hope so.

01:51:00.260 And now, of course, the last time was the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement, which Trump negotiated, which eliminated all these tariffs.

01:51:09.280 Right.

01:51:10.080 And now, I mean, now.

01:51:11.500 Then they got placed back on American products during Biden.

01:51:14.560 And so, this, you know, they keep calling, when we assess a tariff on a product from another nation, and then they respond, we're told that that's retaliation.

01:51:29.380 Well, no.

01:51:30.160 We're the ones who retaliated against what was being charged to us.

01:51:33.740 What he said the other day was, if you charge us, we're going to charge you.

01:51:36.900 That seems fair.

01:51:39.360 I mean, I don't like the plan, but I do love it as a negotiation tactic.

01:51:44.140 And I think it's been pretty effective that way.

01:51:47.000 But he's talking about placing tariffs, and I think this already went into, did it go into effect, the producers of steel, the tariffs on steel?

01:51:54.180 Here he is talking about that cut 25.

01:51:56.140 So, the failed American trade policies have let our once incredible United States steel and aluminum industries once incredible.

01:52:04.680 It's once incredible.

01:52:05.620 They're not now, but they're not bad.

01:52:07.940 I saved them because of my first term.

01:52:10.000 Totally saved them.

01:52:11.120 If I didn't do what I did, I put massive tariffs, not the highest level, but pretty, pretty massive tariffs.

01:52:17.940 We got, we took in a lot of money, and we took in a lot of jobs.

01:52:21.560 But we were being pummeled by both friend and foe alike.

01:52:28.380 Our nation requires steel and aluminum to be made in America, not in foreign lands.

01:52:33.140 We need to create, in order to protect our country's future, a resurgence of U.S. manufacturing and production, the likes of which has not been seen for many decades.

01:52:43.900 It's time for our great industries to come back to America.

01:52:47.460 I want to back to America.

01:52:48.820 This is the first of many, and you know what I mean by that.

01:52:52.860 We're going to be doing others on other subjects, topics.

01:52:57.200 Protecting our steel and aluminum industries is a must, and today I'm simplifying our tariffs on steel and aluminum so that everyone can understand exactly what it means.

01:53:06.860 It's 25 percent without exceptions or exemptions.

01:53:11.040 And that's all countries, no matter where it comes from, all countries.

01:53:14.300 If made in the United States, however, United States of America, there is no tariff, zero.

01:53:21.720 So if it's made in the United States, there is no tariff.

01:53:25.860 All you have to do is make it in the United States.

01:53:28.080 We don't need it from another country.

01:53:30.180 As an example, Canada.

01:53:31.500 If we make it in the United States, we don't need it to be made in Canada.

01:53:35.660 We'll have the jobs.

01:53:36.520 That's why Canada should be our 51st state.

01:53:39.600 We'll bring back industries and we'll bring back our jobs and we'll make America industry great again.

01:53:45.540 Oh, man.

01:53:46.280 So I think the end result of this, if he has to follow through and actually place the tariff on these products, there's going to be some pain involved.

01:53:57.120 You know, and can we ride that out will be the question.

01:54:00.040 Or will that hurt his presidency to a point where he can't recover from it?

01:54:04.060 That's that's the fear here, because if you start a trade war and things get ugly for two years, that midterm election is not going to go our way.

01:54:15.880 Correct.

01:54:16.940 That is the risk.

01:54:18.180 Yeah.

01:54:18.580 I mean, it's one of the risks of that policy.

01:54:21.400 And I think, you know, that's something he's been very honest and forthright about that.

01:54:25.120 It's going to cause pain.

01:54:26.260 And it is.

01:54:27.340 The, you know, you think about the best way to think about tariffs is it's not a policy that's good.

01:54:35.480 It's what it is good to do is to help achieve another goal.

01:54:40.720 Yes.

01:54:41.280 If you can utilize it to get something else of higher value, eventually it can be beneficial.

01:54:47.280 Or if it levels the playing field to where American products aren't taxed by other countries to the point where their people, their citizens can't buy them.

01:54:55.780 But like, that's still not a good outcome.

01:54:58.120 Yeah.

01:54:58.520 Right.

01:54:58.780 Like, it's not a positive.

01:55:01.480 It's just more fair.

01:55:02.900 It's like how the left looks at, you know, income inequality.

01:55:05.780 Like, well, what if we just take a bunch of money away from rich people and everyone's poor?

01:55:09.440 Well, OK, I guess that's more fair.

01:55:11.840 That's not necessarily a good policy for everybody.

01:55:13.880 I think the issue with tariffs are you're saying, like, we're going to cause pain on ourselves and we're going to cause pain on you, on your on the opponent.

01:55:25.020 And we are saying we can survive that pain more successfully.

01:55:29.780 We can withstand it more.

01:55:31.760 We will be we'll stand up to it.

01:55:33.160 We'll deal with it until you cry out for relief and then we'll get rid of all this and we'll get whatever we want.

01:55:40.420 That's kind of like the approach of tariffs.

01:55:42.320 And Trump has used it successfully as far as threats.

01:55:47.080 He has now he's also like, you know, he did.

01:55:49.100 He put a 20 percent tariff on washing machines back when he was in his first term.

01:55:55.120 Right.

01:55:55.300 And this is stunning to hear, but it made washing machines go up by about 20 percent.

01:56:00.300 What a coincidence.

01:56:01.040 It's shocking.

01:56:01.740 That's a shocking development.

01:56:02.920 Yeah.

01:56:03.080 Huh.

01:56:03.540 Really?

01:56:03.840 I believe the actual number was 16.82 percent or something like that.

01:56:08.940 And the reason was the imports went in and they came up about 20 percent.

01:56:14.160 Mm hmm.

01:56:15.040 And then you think, well, wouldn't it be less than that?

01:56:18.160 16 percent because there's a lot of there still are domestically made products.

01:56:23.260 Yeah.

01:56:23.420 Wouldn't that lower it?

01:56:24.340 And it did.

01:56:25.240 But what happened was the domestic companies were like, well, everyone else is going up

01:56:28.720 by 20 percent.

01:56:29.420 We can at least go up by like 10 or 12.

01:56:31.640 So then they went up to just get a bunch of free money to them, which, again, is great

01:56:36.360 for that company, I suppose.

01:56:38.060 Yeah.

01:56:38.280 But overall, it costs American consumers a bunch of cash.

01:56:41.820 It's I mean, look, we're not idiots.

01:56:43.320 It's a tax.

01:56:44.140 It's what it is.

01:56:44.960 It's a tax.

01:56:45.620 And look, taxes are bad generally.

01:56:48.460 However, when you need to fund defense, we're all like, OK, we can deal with taxes in that

01:56:53.360 circumstance.

01:56:54.140 That's what you're dealing with with tariffs.

01:56:55.780 Interestingly, too, Stu, it's interesting that you mentioned that particular aspect

01:57:00.680 of a tax, because that's one of the things that the Constitution specifies you can tax

01:57:05.640 for.

01:57:06.060 Yes.

01:57:06.520 A common defense.

01:57:07.920 Defense.

01:57:08.720 It's actual function of the government.

01:57:10.520 Yeah.

01:57:11.200 Our government has gotten a little bit out of its gourd on what counts as a function

01:57:16.000 of government.

01:57:17.840 Just a bit.

01:57:18.500 But I think like, you know, when you see a tax come in, we all know that taxes don't help

01:57:23.460 your economy.

01:57:24.120 But they can do things if you believe they're leading to something positive.

01:57:29.000 You know, most taxes don't.

01:57:31.440 In this case, you might say, well, we want to maintain American manufacturing.

01:57:36.420 We want to increase American manufacturing.

01:57:38.680 Therefore, this tax is worth it.

01:57:40.260 Like that's this calculation being made.

01:57:42.120 Right.

01:57:42.420 And that's a calculation that all governments must make.

01:57:45.860 It's just a matter of whether you think these are the right things or not.

01:57:48.500 How about the just really mean attitude of Donald Trump that people should come in to

01:57:55.440 their workplace, though?

01:57:56.880 Oh, that's me.

01:57:57.400 Aren't you pissed off about that?

01:57:59.160 That's angry.

01:57:59.620 I'm about to get into the streets with a sign.

01:58:03.060 I'm that angry.

01:58:04.020 We see what Glenn is out.

01:58:05.540 He's out protesting it tonight.

01:58:06.600 Right now.

01:58:07.160 Yeah.

01:58:07.320 He hates coming to work so much.

01:58:09.780 He's taken the day off to avoid.

01:58:12.200 He's a bad example because he really does.

01:58:14.640 He does work remotely quite a bit.

01:58:16.600 He does.

01:58:18.320 But that is, you know, that's a good thing about owning a company.

01:58:22.180 Yep.

01:58:22.520 You know, you do get to do such things.

01:58:24.720 You know, these federal employees.

01:58:26.020 They don't own the company.

01:58:26.960 They don't get to make those decisions.

01:58:28.860 Here's what he said about nobody works from home.

01:58:31.900 Many of those people, and we talk about reporting to work, right?

01:58:36.780 I happen to be a believer that you have to go to work.

01:58:39.000 I don't think you can work from home.

01:58:41.060 I don't know.

01:58:42.120 It's like, oh, you can work from home.

01:58:44.500 Nobody's going to work from home.

01:58:45.680 They're going to be going out.

01:58:47.800 They're going to play tennis.

01:58:48.720 They're going to play golf.

01:58:49.620 They're going to do a lot of things.

01:58:50.580 They're not working.

01:58:52.060 It's a rare person that's going to work.

01:58:53.880 You might work 10% of the time, maybe 20%.

01:58:56.480 I don't think you're going to work a lot more than that.

01:58:59.400 And I think they have an obligation to work.

01:59:01.440 And they have an obligation not to have a second job

01:59:04.060 when they're supposed to be working for the federal government.

01:59:06.940 You're going to find that a lot of these people had second jobs

01:59:09.440 instead of working for, they'll be collecting a federal government check

01:59:13.300 and they'll be working two jobs.

01:59:15.460 And that's big trouble for them.

01:59:18.040 There's a good chunk of the workforce that you can tell a lot about them,

01:59:21.940 how they pulled that process off during COVID.

01:59:24.840 Like the lazy workforce just didn't work or worked like a few percent of the time

01:59:29.680 just to get by.

01:59:30.340 But the real entrepreneurs just got another job to fill the time

01:59:34.260 that they weren't working for the real job.

01:59:36.120 That's when you had that sort of inspiration.

01:59:38.800 You're like, you know what?

01:59:39.220 I'm just going to take another job.

01:59:40.200 I'm going to work at 20% and then I'll make double the money.

01:59:42.880 That's the entrepreneurship our country was built on.

01:59:46.520 It really is.

01:59:47.100 It's fascinating to watch this process though because those who have been allowed

01:59:53.060 for the last few years to work from home have become so entitled with that now

01:59:57.960 that how dare you now ask me to make that commute?

02:00:00.980 What's incredible is that when all of this participation trophy culture began,

02:00:09.440 I thought, wow, wait till you join the real world.

02:00:14.400 Wait until the time when you have to go out and get a real job

02:00:17.640 and be actually held accountable for that job you're doing

02:00:22.540 and have to go in nine to five every single day and actually work.

02:00:26.120 You're going to be so shocked.

02:00:27.500 Well, it didn't work out that way.

02:00:29.180 What shocked me was instead businesses to a large extent

02:00:33.920 are actually caving in to the participation trophy people.

02:00:39.340 So the young people aren't learning any lessons.

02:00:41.580 They're just realizing that, man, we can get them to bend to our will.

02:00:44.780 Well, Trump's not going to.

02:00:47.760 No.

02:00:48.200 Trump is bucking that trend.

02:00:50.100 This is sometimes like everyone's like, oh, we need a new view of leadership.

02:00:54.480 Sometimes you just need the guy who's been around for a while.

02:00:56.860 It's like, screw you.

02:00:57.960 Yeah.

02:00:58.260 You know, sometimes you just need that.

02:00:59.960 You just need the guy who's going to be like, no, no.

02:01:02.120 You know what?

02:01:02.480 I've been around for 70 years.

02:01:03.760 I know what you're doing.

02:01:04.800 No.

02:01:05.460 Yeah.

02:01:05.860 And you need that sometimes.

02:01:07.020 It's refreshing.

02:01:07.800 888-727-BECK.

02:01:11.280 This is Glenn Beck.

02:01:14.780 Thanks to the generosity of people just like you,

02:01:28.120 the Tunnel to Towers Foundation welcomed U.S. Army Specialist Brett Menard

02:01:31.840 to a new mortgage-free smart home in Florida.

02:01:34.680 Brett decided to list in the U.S. Army after being motivated by 9-11

02:01:37.400 and his desire to be a part of something that truly matters.

02:01:40.300 While on a road clearance mission in Afghanistan,

02:01:42.540 Brett's vehicle was blown up by an IED.

02:01:44.980 The blast left Brett a T4 paraplegic with traumatic brain injury

02:01:49.540 and compartment syndrome in both arms.

02:01:52.140 He's unable to use his legs.

02:01:53.500 He had severe internal injuries.

02:01:55.500 And he needed a total face reconstruction

02:01:57.280 because his bones and teeth were shattered in the explosion.

02:02:00.080 Can't believe this guy lived, but he did.

02:02:02.380 Despite the overwhelming challenge,

02:02:04.000 Brett's spirit remained unbroken.

02:02:05.660 And because of people like you,

02:02:07.340 Tunnel to Towers built him a specially adapted smart home

02:02:09.860 that allows people like him,

02:02:11.540 catastrophically injured heroes,

02:02:13.160 to live more independently.

02:02:14.800 Would you consider being involved in great work like this?

02:02:17.780 Tunnel to Towers.

02:02:18.860 That's T2T.org.

02:02:20.780 Donate $11 a month to T2T.org.

02:02:24.000 T, the number 2T, dot org.

02:02:25.640 T, the number 2T, dot org.

02:02:37.700 Great to have you with us.

02:02:39.260 888-727-BECK.

02:02:41.360 Pat and Stu for Glenn today.

02:02:42.740 Glenn returns tomorrow.

02:02:46.840 Let's see.

02:02:48.040 I was just about to get into Pete Hegseth,

02:02:51.220 who I think is going to be such a great defense secretary.

02:02:53.600 I mean, the guy, he's no nonsense.

02:02:57.180 We've got some people in office right now

02:02:59.920 and in positions of power

02:03:02.000 that just don't care what you think about them.

02:03:05.800 They've gotten a mandate from the president,

02:03:07.880 and they're just bulldozing anybody who gets in their way.

02:03:12.700 It's fantastic.

02:03:13.880 Hegseth is one of those.

02:03:15.880 Here he is arriving in Germany.

02:03:23.600 Okay, so he's just getting off the plane,

02:03:27.280 ready to put the hammer down on somebody,

02:03:30.880 something.

02:03:32.520 What he said the other day, though,

02:03:34.040 was great,

02:03:35.080 that the stupidest thing he's ever heard in his life

02:03:39.500 was that the military's focus was going to be

02:03:41.820 on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

02:03:45.300 That is kind of the dumbest possible thing, right?

02:03:48.640 Yeah, yeah.

02:03:49.600 And he basically said,

02:03:50.880 look, we're getting back to what the military focuses on.

02:03:55.000 I mean, I don't care what color you are.

02:03:56.780 I don't care what culture you come from.

02:03:59.560 I don't care what language you speak.

02:04:01.880 You just have to be able to do the job and do it well.

02:04:05.300 And isn't that how you want your military to operate?

02:04:09.580 I certainly do.

02:04:10.660 And when you've got a budget of $800 billion,

02:04:14.820 I think this is another thing that's coming up quickly.

02:04:18.220 And Glenn mentioned yesterday that he's excited about this.

02:04:20.940 I am too,

02:04:21.460 because we're supposed to be the kind who just fall in line

02:04:24.460 with everything militarily.

02:04:26.240 But you've got to believe that there's a lot of waste

02:04:30.740 and a lot of fraud in the military-industrial complex

02:04:34.640 as they deal with defense contractors and all of that.

02:04:38.760 I bet it's hundreds of billions of dollars.

02:04:42.500 Has to be.

02:04:43.640 Has to be.

02:04:44.540 I mean, what was it?

02:04:45.480 Dick Cheney on September 10th, 2001 said-

02:04:49.940 It's Rumsfeld.

02:04:50.480 It was Donald Rumsfeld.

02:04:52.520 Yeah.

02:04:53.180 Said that we were missing, was it $3 trillion?

02:04:55.980 It was somewhere $1 to $3 trillion.

02:04:57.960 It was over a trillion dollars that was just missing.

02:05:01.100 I don't know where it is.

02:05:02.260 And then 9-11 happened,

02:05:04.160 and nobody paid any attention to it.

02:05:06.100 But I've never heard where that money went,

02:05:09.260 and it's probably still going wherever that black hole is.

02:05:13.920 Yeah, maybe we should look into it.

02:05:16.020 You think?

02:05:16.520 Yeah, I think so.

02:05:17.320 That's a weird stance.

02:05:18.640 Is it too picky of me?

02:05:19.260 I don't know if we have time.

02:05:20.180 Yeah.

02:05:20.640 All right.

02:05:22.860 Well, at least you can support children in Chad without faces, right?

02:05:27.360 And help them find the eyeballs they so desperately need.

02:05:30.080 This is Glenn Beck.

02:05:36.100 And then, let's see.

02:05:38.320 Bye.

02:05:40.740 Bye.

02:05:59.820 Bye.

02:06:00.400 Bye.

02:06:01.580 Check it out.

02:06:02.000 Bye.

02:06:02.820 Bye.

02:06:03.560 Bye.
