Trust and safety is becoming a key driver of customer experience,
00:00:04.760
influencing how users engage, how safe they feel,
00:00:12.580
but if I've had too many bad experiences on a platform,
00:00:18.180
This is the intersection we're here to explore today.
00:00:21.380
Tap to keep listening to how trust and safety redefined CX
00:00:32.900
Sometimes the biggest game changer in your business
00:00:37.520
It's a better engine running underneath the hood of everything you do.
00:00:40.460
Data, AI, security, speed, it all comes down the power of the cloud.
00:00:45.040

00:01:29.200
We begin the program here in just a few seconds.
00:01:45.960
the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
00:01:49.220
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth
00:01:56.940
Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review
00:02:02.460
because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm
00:02:06.460
to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.
00:02:10.760
This is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.
00:02:14.240
So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up,
00:03:24.140
Well, hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:27.360
The president was tweeting from Air Force One, high stakes, high stakes.
00:03:37.860
And, I mean, Nancy Pelosi, I mean, would you please retire for the love of Pete?
00:03:43.800
Go have your pudding at your home and leave us alone.
00:03:56.960
And you're like, well, okay, I don't even know what you're talking about anymore.
00:04:02.540
Pat joins us and also our chief researcher, Jason Buttrell.
00:04:09.560
All right, first, let me tell you about our commercial sponsor.
00:04:16.080
And like most Americans, maybe you never think about where all that money goes.
00:04:19.240
But with the big carriers, a lot of it goes to causes and politicians and organizations working against the very values that you believe in.
00:04:30.220
We are, I can send it to all of our friends who are working against the website.
00:04:37.180
Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
00:04:41.200
And they don't send it to Nancy Pelosi and her friends.
00:04:44.220
They use the same nationwide towers, the big guys do.
00:04:47.860
So, you get exactly the same coverage and the reliable service that you count on.
00:04:54.020
They don't donate a portion of every dollar you spend on organizations fighting against things.
00:05:00.180
They send it to organizations fighting for religious freedom, protecting the sanctity of life, supporting our veterans, and defending the Constitution.
00:05:11.600
You're joining a movement that believes in putting principle over profit.
00:05:15.720
Same service, same coverage, but a bill that actually reflects your values.

00:05:42.340
Could you please translate into English what Nancy Pelosi was trying to say here?
00:05:54.200
But, again, we want the people of Ukraine, we commend them for fighting for democracy.
00:06:01.840
And in fighting for their democracy, too, they're fighting for ours as well.
00:06:18.180
I'm disappointed that he has not continued the military assistance, because that has been a problem for the Ukrainians.
00:06:34.420
I don't know what Putin has on the president, that he just, he's coming to Alaska.
00:06:53.160
There's one thing more I want to say about this.
00:06:56.580
I was the first official of America to go to Ukraine after Russia invading.
00:07:03.900
And I think she means that, you know, first American official back in the 1800s, perhaps.
00:07:21.980
Do you know who's going to fly that big, huge plane that has the American flag on it to the state of Alaska?
00:07:31.920
So Putin has to go to a place where he thinks, you know, you know, Alaska shouldn't have been ours.
00:07:38.320
Yeah, you sold it for like, I don't know, a hundred grand.
00:07:57.600
I mean, I don't know why she thinks we shouldn't be sending him to Alaska.
00:08:02.240
I personally think it is exactly the right place.
00:08:09.140
And she's very disappointed that he hasn't continued the funding for the war.
00:08:16.200
Thank you for not continuing the funding for the war.
00:08:21.000
We've been, there's been interruptions and pauses and alterations.
00:08:27.620
No, we're sending stuff over, but we're selling it to Europe.
00:08:56.640
If Europe wants to help out, I don't recommend it, Europe.
00:09:02.700
Have you looked at the condition you guys are in?
00:09:06.680
Jason is here to tell us what the strategy is for the president and the meeting with Vladimir Putin.
00:09:14.920
I mean, well, this is, I don't know, this is at least a month in the making with Steve Wyckoff going over and having conversations with Putin.
00:09:23.980
First off, before that, no, to answer your questions too, and as Glennon explained, it's not true.
00:09:30.360
It's completely not true about not sending weapons.
00:09:33.120
They've been reauthorizing weapons for a couple of months now.
00:09:44.200
And again, it furthers that narrative of, I don't know what Putin has on it.
00:10:04.900
But you guys screwed the world up so much that it's taking a little longer.
00:10:11.940
But we're not going to follow your plan of sending them money, which is laundered.
00:10:17.380
And we now know through USAID and everything else, it is laundered, and we're losing all
00:10:24.580
We're not going to send any more money over there.
00:10:30.980
And if the French want to buy them from us and send them over there, that's their deal.
00:10:35.160
Yeah, well, at this point, I think if Nancy Pelosi wants to continue to contribute to this
00:10:39.380
grand conspiracy that we're calling Russiagate, which we get a new release document dump almost
00:10:51.280
I have John Solomon on in about a half an hour.
00:10:58.300
Well, so Wyckoff, so we're getting little tidbits of information from what Wyckoff negotiated,
00:11:07.040
What it sounds like is what the big thing that they were talking about was a ceasefire
00:11:12.480
and at least opening the door for territorial concessions.
00:11:17.160
So basically what Russia has taken, it will then be considered, that's their red line.
00:11:25.620
But didn't Zelensky say he's, I'm not putting up on that.
00:11:32.900
Zelensky and the Europeans kind of got together.
00:11:37.680
And they said the most ridiculous thing I had ever seen in my life.
00:11:42.380
But it said something along the lines of, you know, territory in this new day and age,
00:11:48.080
you know, cannot be, you know, taken by the means of force.
00:11:52.040
I'm like, that's how territory has been taken the entire history of the world.
00:12:05.660
We don't have to say it's fair, but that's called war.
00:12:11.120
So that can't be like one of your restrictions or red lines in the conversation to get them
00:12:15.000
together is, oh, we're just not talking about that.
00:12:16.620
Because, no, that's a very big part of the talk.
00:12:25.620
At least, Stu, did you look into this poll at all over in Ukraine?
00:12:30.220
Because, I mean, you probably could figure out if it was, you know, bogus or not.
00:12:35.280
But there was a new poll out that shows that the people beginning in Russia and also in
00:12:41.560
Ukraine, but more pronounced in Ukraine, they're done with the war.
00:12:47.060
Yeah, that is, they definitely want an end to the war.
00:12:50.480
I think, I thought where you were going to go was the sort of faith in Zelensky at the
00:12:56.380
head of Ukraine, which that has faded quite a bit.
00:13:00.340
I mean, at the beginning, he was incredibly popular and was popular even into a period
00:13:05.240
where, you know, some in the United States were falling away from him.
00:13:08.520
But that popularity has fallen to, he's basically a normal politician now with a divided country.
00:13:18.280
I mean, the country, of course, you know, still really hates Russia and really hates
00:13:25.940
There is not a lot of, not a lot that I've seen as far as wide scale multiple polls that
00:13:32.200
show that they want to give up territory to end it.
00:13:35.340
I mean, I don't think that's what they're looking to do.
00:13:39.760
Jason, what was, remember the episode we did, it was years ago, and I talked about how war,
00:13:51.460
Because when you start a war, by the time you fought it for several years, and your life
00:13:58.720
is just, you just want it to stop, and you will forget about what it was before.
00:14:05.640
At least at the end, when you're negotiating a deal, you're just like, I want this just
00:14:09.700
And so that's the chance to change the currencies, that's the chance to change borders and everything
00:14:15.800
else, because the people are so fatigued by war.
00:14:20.120
That's how you make giant changes in the world, is you, and it's, I mean, it's been the plan
00:14:33.300
And eventually people are like, okay, okay, I just want this to stop.
00:14:39.840
It's a very dangerous time, and I'll even extrapolate that even further.
00:14:43.320
That's also, you know, their strategy over COVID.
00:14:48.660
There's a reason why they always, like, when they were talking about COVID and all the things
00:14:52.820
they were changing at the time, the Great Reset, there's a reason why they kept on hearkening
00:15:00.800
The new global rules-based order that was established after World War II.
00:15:05.640
Because exactly what you said, people were just tired of it.
00:15:12.940
That is exactly where I think the Ukrainian people are.
00:15:15.820
I think that is where Donald Trump is approaching Putin and Ukraine on.
00:15:22.220
You know, I heard a report today that, you know, Donald Trump is gunning for the Nobel Prize.
00:15:28.720
He could cure cancer, which, by the way, Joe Biden is still working on.
00:15:42.420
I, you know, maybe, you know, Teddy Roosevelt got one, a Nobel Prize.
00:15:48.600
But it was like, I don't know, a hundred years after he was dead.
00:15:52.420
We're not even talking about some of the things that he has done that would go towards that.
00:16:07.700
They've been slaughtering the Armenians and the Christians over in Armenia forever.
00:16:17.260
We couldn't get anybody in Washington to even talk about it, let alone go over and solve it.
00:16:24.220
And contrast that with Obama, who it was just an idea.
00:16:35.140
You know, politically speaking, however, he has got to fix the economy.
00:16:46.340
You could solve the border, which he's on the road for all of those things.
00:16:51.760
But if he doesn't, if people are still worried about their grocery bill, it's just not going
00:16:57.880
to, it's not going to, it's not won't bode well.
00:17:01.280
And I'm telling you, these people, if they get back into power, I mean, who was it?
00:17:07.000
Who was it that came out and said, you know, when we win the midterms, there's one word
00:17:14.720
And I thought, oh, that'll even make you even more popular.
00:17:19.280
That'll just make you more popular with the people of the United States.
00:17:33.900
Our sponsor of this half hour is the Berna Launcher.
00:17:36.260
I have it sitting right here next to me because I carry it now every day.
00:17:47.520
There's no background checks because it won't kill people.
00:17:50.940
It's a less lethal instrument and it's filled with tear gas.
00:17:57.060
Now, it also has, you know, kinetic rounds that you shoot at somebody and it's more than
00:18:16.240
They were like, can we get a couple of these as well?
00:18:19.400
Because it's not, you're not pulling a gun on somebody.
00:18:23.420
If there's a problem, you shoot it in and it's tear gas.
00:18:31.660
It'll, it will, you can shoot it and hit people and, or hit, you know, just six feet
00:18:37.880
And, and, and they will be down for about 45 minutes.
00:18:43.640
I brought one because I'm here in the mountain West today because my daughter is moving.
00:18:51.640
We're, you know, setting her up today and moving all of her furniture in and everything
00:18:55.940
And, uh, that's one of the things I have packed.
00:18:58.500
She doesn't know I have packed is her burner launcher, uh, because I want her to keep it
00:19:03.240
in her car or carry it in her purse at all times.
00:19:14.220
Now try before you buy it, a sportsman's warehouse location near you.
00:19:35.980
I think the American people are so done with all of this back and forth, all of the, especially
00:19:51.440
The polls now are showing that even the California Democrats are saying, no, we don't want your
00:20:04.360
And I think that's because everybody's like, we've got, I don't know, a whole town that's
00:20:10.980
burned down that nobody's doing anything about it.
00:20:17.020
Uh, we have, you know, our kids are going to schools that are indoctrination camps, you
00:20:22.820
know, watching big fat men pretend to be women.
00:20:29.800
And on both sides, people want to start talking about things that are real, things that will
00:20:36.700
I think that's why what Donald Trump is doing in, in Washington, DC is so smart.
00:20:48.440
Um, but I, I do believe he wants to clean up Washington, DC because he, he knows he can,
00:20:55.100
And this also does set him up politically very nicely, right?
00:20:58.180
To have an argument about, Hey, I think Washington DC is bad and, and dangerous.
00:21:05.680
You want to be on Donald Trump's side of that argument.
00:21:07.800
I do think though, if we kind of step back a little bit, the, and you said this a million
00:21:12.920
times, Glenn, the American people generally, even, you know, most not, not AOC left, not
00:21:18.320
Antifa left, but like even Democrats generally want, want the, they want to believe the world
00:21:25.320
is, is, is, and their country is being run by a set of rules.
00:21:29.960
And there is still, that is still fundamentally inside most Americans.
00:21:34.720
The, the Democrats are, I believe currently, um, betting that they can convince those people
00:21:45.140
What is happening is so egregious and so terrible and Donald Trump is so awful and Donald Trump
00:21:49.580
is Hitler and Donald Trump is a fascist and all these things that they can get them to
00:21:54.160
the side of where it's time to break the rules.
00:22:01.160
Uh, you know, uh, Gavin Newsom is in the middle of doing it.
00:22:03.720
I mean, they, they have a, uh, uh, theoretically nonpartisan, uh, redistricting committee in,
00:22:09.620
in California, which has been incredibly beneficial, shockingly for the Democrats, but yeah, it's
00:22:17.000
There's 40% of the votes go to the Republicans.
00:22:23.200
And there are other factors involved in that, but it's pretty extreme.
00:22:26.840
The, uh, what they are betting on is that they can convince and Gavin Newsom, this is
00:22:32.460
his 2028 presidential campaign in action right now, is he can convince people that things
00:22:42.960
They've attempted this before and failed, uh, with the American people, uh, whether this
00:22:51.300
I mean, they are, I think they know right now, this isn't going to be incredibly popular
00:22:58.040
As you point out, I think it's 60% of Democrats are opposing this law change in California, which
00:23:03.160
would be a prerequisite to being able to redistrict, uh, in the way that they want to do
00:23:07.440
it, uh, but I think they think they'll wear people down over time.
00:23:13.680
There is another force that's working against them now.
00:23:16.520
And that is the force of, uh, their communities falling apart.
00:23:23.340
You, you, you can listen to somebody when you have the luxury of worrying about, you know,
00:23:28.820
uh, redistricting in your seats and everything else.
00:23:32.560
When you have the luxury to worry about, you know, uh, I think we need more DEI.
00:23:37.660
That's because everything else in the country is going relatively well.
00:23:44.100
If you are, if you are a country that you're worried about your safety, you're worried about
00:23:50.920
You're worried about getting food on the table in your job.
00:24:01.280
Uh, our sponsor, uh, this half hour is relief factor.
00:24:05.100
You know, somewhere along the line, your knee decided it was done being a team player used
00:24:10.920
Now it acts up every time, you know, you take up one step and it's like, really this
00:24:15.440
which and your back, oh, your back's been taken notes before you know it.
00:24:19.020
They're in secret aches and pains unions, and they're holding daily meetings to discuss
00:24:24.300
At least that's what it feels like sitting down for too long.
00:24:29.260
Oh, they're on it carrying groceries up some stairs.
00:24:35.420
It's about time that you start to realize, you know, I'm kicking, I'm breaking this union
00:24:40.520
Relief factor is how you bust up that little conspiracy.
00:24:43.300
It's designed to help calm the source of pain so you can walk, bend and lift without feeling

Head over to gledbeck.com and get subscribed to the free email newsletter.
00:25:43.340
Um, I want to, I want to play something from 2017, a quick flashback, uh, from a Senate
00:25:54.940
Director Comey, have you ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating
00:26:01.840
to the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?
00:26:15.540
Have you ever authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports
00:26:23.000
about the Trump investigation or the Clinton investigation?
00:26:27.020
Has any classified information relating to President Trump or his association, associates
00:26:36.920
been declassified or, and shared with the media?
00:26:42.480
Is there an investigation of any leaks of classified information relating to Mr. Trump or his associates?
00:26:51.160
I don't want to, I don't want to answer that question, Senator, for reasons I think you know.
00:26:57.640
Uh, there have been a variety of, uh, uh, leaks.
00:27:02.080
Well, leaks are always a problem, but especially in the last three to six months.
00:27:05.760
And where there is a leak of classified information, the FBI, if it's our information, makes a referral
00:27:11.220
to the Department of Justice, or if it's another agency's information, they do the same,
00:27:15.400
and then DOJ authorizes the opening of an investigation.
00:27:18.340
I don't want to confirm in an open setting whether there are any investigations open.
00:27:27.160
Uh, we have, uh, John Solomon with us from Just the News.
00:27:51.320
I think there were, in the documents I put out last week, some information that was redacted
00:27:56.120
by the Justice Department from the FBI documents.
00:27:59.220
I think the redactions on that information could be lifted by the end of next week.
00:28:03.640
And I think we will see even more evidence of Comey's media and leaking strategy.
00:28:09.740
And it may come from some of the most surprising sources.
00:28:12.520
So we already have his right-hand PR man, uh, Mr. Richmond, who was a, um, uh, lawyer at
00:28:20.440
Columbia University, very clearly saying that he, he was asked by Comey to burnish Comey's
00:28:28.380
And he clearly had a conversation with the reporter about classified information.
00:28:32.760
And he gave one, I think, one of the greatest non-denial denials we're ever going to remember
00:28:37.700
in Washington history, right up there with Bill Clinton's Monica Lewinsky denial, depending
00:28:42.360
on what the word meaning of the word is, is we all remember that famous dodge.
00:28:46.700
Um, when Richmond was asked, did he leak the information that the reporter published right
00:28:50.900
after he talked to him and right after Comey had given Richmond the intelligence, he said,
00:28:58.580
And I'm sure comma with a discount comma, I didn't give him the information.
00:29:09.520
Yeah, the FBI clearly thought it meant that, uh, you're going to have to give me a little
00:29:15.700
So, and that's not what, you know, that's what it means when you, you know, I'll buy that.
00:29:22.360
So I, I, that's how the FBI took it at the end of the day.
00:29:26.420
Uh, there was a justice department, both under, um, president Obama and president Trump one
00:29:32.820
that wasn't willing to pursue, uh, the evidence that sits in these leaked documents.
00:29:37.400
And I think, uh, most of those leaks are going to be unpunishable at this point.
00:29:46.160
Um, I was reading through that document, I think it was like 266 pages and it was talking
00:29:53.400
It was talking about leaks through, you know, Daniel Richmond, that Columbia university professor,
00:29:57.480
all these different leaks and the FBI would end those different segments within that document
00:30:06.560
How, how in the world were they just closing all this investigations and not finding information
00:30:19.460
Every time they went to the justice department, the U S attorney that had prosecutive authority,
00:30:25.960
I mean, that is, I started my career as a sports writer and I remember, uh, one of the
00:30:30.920
great defenses of all time, the steel curtain of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:30:34.500
There was a steel curtain around James Comey and anyone who went after Trump, any Democrat
00:30:40.800
that had a criminal problem, whether it was Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, his
00:30:47.440
Every time the FBI went to get the sort of normal prosecutive help they get all day long
00:30:53.460
The answer was no, we're not going to help you.
00:30:57.420
And, uh, you see now in these documents, a very powerful dual system of justice.
00:31:02.920
Is this, does this have anything to do with the fact that we cannot get new U S attorneys
00:31:11.440
Uh, I think they, the, I don't think this is a, most of the crimes here are beyond the
00:31:18.060
Uh, you know, there are, there's some, there's one statute that allows a 10 year willful prosecution
00:31:24.100
The Adam Schiff, uh, many of the legal experts I talked about based on the whistleblower.
00:31:28.700
If that whistleblower's account could be verified, uh, Adam Schiff might still face a knowing
00:31:33.700
and willful violation, but most of these are done.
00:31:36.620
And so the Democrats aren't, uh, putting their foot out to trip up these U S attorneys because
00:31:41.500
they think these guys are going to get prosecuted.
00:31:44.680
They're putting their foot out because they don't want Donald Trump to succeed at anything.
00:31:48.020
They would love to see chaos on the streets and be able to blame them for that.
00:31:51.340
So what better way to do that than not allow them to have judges and prosecutors who could
00:31:58.100
And so I think their, their, their obstruction is much larger than just protecting themselves
00:32:06.680
But does this testimony, while it's out of statute of limitations, doesn't this play right
00:32:15.140
That is where, uh, there's a strong possibility.
00:32:19.080
You never know how a grand jury will digest it.
00:32:21.420
Um, but, uh, there is a strong, uh, they're already underway.
00:32:26.540
There are grand juries currently collecting, uh, um, evidence in multiple jurisdictions in
00:32:34.380
So the work of gathering the evidence and securing it, which sometimes is missing in the Adam Schiff
00:32:40.300
file, one of the most extraordinary things, the FBI clearly had grave concerns.
00:32:48.120
But when they, uh, uh, when they went to go say, Hey, Adam Schiff, we got to get your
00:32:55.760
We were protected by the debate and speech clause.
00:32:58.180
And the justice department wasn't willing under Donald Trump to pierce that claim, which
00:33:03.300
I think is pretty tenuous from the legal experts I've talked to.
00:33:06.080
Um, so you just see every time the FBI follows the lead, they get to a certain point and then
00:33:12.840
it's the justice department that really is the department of injustice.
00:33:15.720
It is simply not allowing FBI agents to complete investigations that would embarrass the deep
00:33:21.440
state or the democratic, uh, elites, uh, or their friends in the government who carried
00:33:28.120
I just talked to, uh, the author who exposed Raven two, three and got those guys, um, out
00:33:35.440
Um, and you know, I said, what happened to all of the prosecutors and the FBI and the people
00:33:55.840
Uh, there is a transition underway in the justice department.
00:33:58.940
And I think the jury is out on a Pam body senior, obviously bumpy start with Epstein.
00:34:03.580
I think in the grand conspiracy case, there is a sign that they're doing it just the way
00:34:08.620
they used to do it in the 1980s when the justice department was at its heyday and it took
00:34:12.380
down, um, you know, the mob and it took down the early drug cartels.
00:34:16.560
When you have a grand conspiracy case, you start with an FBI predicate that happened
00:34:21.240
and you create a strike force, something we haven't used in a long time, but strike forces
00:34:30.060
So they're following the playbook, the non-political playbook, the way the justice department is
00:34:34.640
supposed to act, uh, whether she succeeds or not is a long way out on the investigation.
00:34:44.500
There are career positions that are open and almost all the U S attorneys are open.
00:34:49.180
So until those positions fill in a little bit, there is a limitation to what can be succeeded.
00:34:53.740
But you see in the last couple of days in the district of Columbia, how quickly the justice
00:34:58.160
department and the FBI could clean up some pretty bad guys off the street real quickly.
00:35:04.360
They're being asked to do a lot more than, but they have resources for now.
00:35:07.700
And I think, uh, over the next six months, we'll know whether they get resourced enough
00:35:11.800
and whether they have the toughness, the tenacity to fight this fight.
00:35:16.000
They're going to go up against the, the, the best lawyers that Democrats can throw at this,
00:35:22.320
And, uh, the question is, can the government defeat them in the, in the courts?
00:35:25.860
And that is, uh, uh, uh, a verdict yet to be written FBI cleaned up enough.
00:35:36.500
I will tell you, there is a significant tenured, uh, tenor in the voices of the agents I've known
00:35:44.160
And I talked to, they feel like they're allowed to go investigate crimes and that there's no
00:35:52.380
And I think that Cash Patel has very quickly changed the mindset.
00:35:57.400
Sometimes, you know, one of the interesting things people ask me about this, why those
00:36:00.620
two guys, why was Cash Patel holding onto the two guys?
00:36:03.900
Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is my best friend, which is you want to know for a while
00:36:07.940
from people you got on the meat hook, where are the bodies buried?
00:36:11.720
Where, where are, what, what was going on here?
00:36:16.800
And so some of the people that I think Cash Patel, uh, kept around for a while was to
00:36:21.160
really interrogate them and find out how bad was it.
00:36:24.240
And it was that, those efforts that found the secret room or some of the evidence was
00:36:31.720
And then when I think when, when that exercise was over, those, uh, those agents leave as well.
00:36:37.600
But there is some really significant, uh, signs and talking to people that the FBI is a
00:36:43.660
different organization today than it was just a few short years ago.
00:36:47.520
And, uh, last question on this, um, what's coming next and when should we expect it?
00:36:54.920
I think round two of what we're going to learn about Comey is going to be pretty eyeopening.
00:36:59.780
I think we're going to get a strong sense that maybe there was better evidence and more
00:37:06.660
Uh, it's just an inkling I have based on the way the documents are redacted.
00:37:10.300
So we're going to keep working that to get those redactions lifted.
00:37:13.560
I think, I think the justice department is going to do the right thing for the public
00:37:18.600
We'll be able to get the complete picture of James Comey.
00:37:21.640
Uh, and then I think there are a couple of other big shoes to fall.
00:37:25.180
I think another place that has to be cleaned out is the intelligence.
00:37:30.420
The FBI has cleaned out much quicker than the CIA and the ODNI, but I would be watching for
00:37:35.440
Tulsi Gabbard to, uh, unleash in the next couple of weeks, the most sweeping cutback of the
00:37:42.620
You're going to shrink it down so that they don't have time to do politics.
00:37:45.880
They only have time to do national security threats.
00:37:48.580
That's going to be a major, major moment in the history of our intelligence, uh, weaponization
00:37:54.600
Hey, John, Jason, again, Glenn's chief researcher.
00:37:56.420
I haven't felt this overwhelmed with the barrage of information we're getting since I think I was
00:38:03.320
You, you gave me about probably probably two weeks straight, 24 hours a day straight of
00:38:08.700
just going through all the stuff you were foying and everything.
00:38:10.940
Have you ever been so overwhelmed with all these releases?
00:38:17.160
Listen, the velocity of action in Washington is unprecedented.
00:38:20.300
I've never seen in the 35 years I've been in this town, this much speed, this much things
00:38:25.300
There are major news stories every four to six hours and there are major releases of documents,
00:38:30.440
what it tells you is that when the president said he believes in transparency and is going
00:38:35.260
to impose it, which by the way, he said all through the first campaign, first presidency,
00:38:40.400
but he didn't have people around him who had the courage and tenacity to overcome the resistance
00:38:47.440
Tulsi Cabot, Cash Patel, Pam Bondi, to her credit, she's not afraid to release anything
00:38:53.320
that will give the public a sense of how bad it is.
00:38:59.260
I know he resisted on some things, but they have a group now that is really committed to
00:39:06.320
And the beginning of the process is, if you're going to prosecute your old enemies who did
00:39:11.380
these terrible things, you've got to build public will behind it.
00:39:14.240
You've got to make the case to the public so that they're not hoodwinked by the Democrats
00:39:20.080
They're doing it in a very sophisticated way, but it can be overwhelming.
00:39:40.060
When you think about all the little moments that make up a life, you know, the first cry,
00:39:44.020
the first laugh, the tiny fingers wrapping around yours, it's hard to imagine anything more
00:39:48.640
precious, but for countless unborn children, those moments may never happen because moms
00:39:58.420
Preborn is changing all of that, providing free ultrasounds that show moms the miracle
00:40:04.280
Along with the practical and compassionate care and support, these are not just statistics.
00:40:11.780
These are real babies, real families, real moms, real futures.
00:40:16.300
And every time you give, you're literally putting hope and a life into the world.
00:40:31.720
I mean, if you could do it once a month, it'd be great.

Would you spot it if your homeowner insurance renewal listed a name you didn't recognize?
00:41:17.880
I mean, for some people, that's the first hint.
00:41:19.800
Their deed was changed without their knowledge or approval.
00:41:25.880
These thieves never even set foot on your property.
00:41:35.620
And then your title is sliding out from under you.
00:41:38.480
And all of a sudden, they own your home and not you.
00:41:40.960
And once they control the paper, the loans can hit pretty fast.
00:41:46.560
The vanishing of your equity, when that happens, you can discover the mess when maybe a refinance
00:41:54.660
of yours stalls or a strange bill arrives or a foreclosure warning lands in your mailbox.

00:42:44.920
You know, Putin hasn't been to the United States since 2007 at the United Nations, and
00:42:55.680
it's not like he's a respected and beloved figure here.
00:42:59.640
You know, you see him walking down the street, you'd be kind of like, is that Vladimir Putin?
00:43:04.900
And everybody's saying that, you know, there's a big win for Putin coming to Alaska.
00:43:12.800
Like, I mean, the argument is that he's being treated as an equal, right, to Donald Trump,
00:43:19.240
a guy who, you know, the leader of the free world, as opposed to this guy who invaded his
00:43:25.200
And I get that argument, but, like, I just, I don't, I mean, we're telling him to come
00:43:31.820
Like, we're saying, no, we're not going to go see you.
00:43:34.780
Right, and it's not like we're taking him to, you know, West Palm.
00:43:40.140
We're not taking him to the beautiful beaches of California.
00:43:43.120
We're like, I mean, who thinks they're being really respected when they're like, we'll have
00:43:54.880
We're going to take you right to the military base.
00:44:01.900
I'm not too one over by that particular part of this argument.

You might not be able to predict the next disaster, but you can predict this at some point,
00:44:35.780
someone in your family is going to get sick or hurt, and if it happens when supply chains
00:44:40.460
are down or pharmacies are closed, that's a problem that can become a very big problem

When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners, I started wondering,
00:45:51.420
Like that woman over there with the designer jeans.
00:46:21.140
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Yeah.
00:47:17.940
There was this great article in the Free Press recently from Matthew Contnetti
00:47:29.840
Bringing NATO together and just pounding them together
00:47:38.240
And I don't know what that means for this weekend
00:47:45.820
First, our sponsor, the Sapphira's Rough Greens
00:47:48.640
Your dog might not know the difference between fine cuisine and lean cuisine
00:47:54.900
Between dry, processed kibble and real, nutritious food
00:47:58.380
Most dog food, no matter, you know, even the good stuff
00:48:01.680
It's heated to the point where the natural enzymes
00:48:14.760
That you sprinkle on top of whatever you feed your dog right now
00:48:25.380
All the things missing from most commercial dog food
00:48:33.760
You know, eating the same food with nothing in it
00:48:42.800
That helps him live his best, longest, happiest life
00:49:14.080
I think going contrary to what everybody in the mainstream media is saying
00:49:19.140
They're saying, oh, he's bringing him over to Alaska
00:49:29.600
Because he had to change the dynamics of American policy
00:49:43.500
No, I think that Trump is going to this summit today
01:12:29.500
time this week um the alternative for germany have overtaken him in the polls wow that's amazing
01:12:35.840
um now i saw a report and it may have been from you guys um i saw a report that said uh that this
01:12:45.000
might be the end of the eu experiment which i would celebrate myself um you know freedom to
01:12:52.200
every every one of these countries and stop this nonsense that the people are the people are being
01:12:58.020
destroyed and the country's cultures are all being destroyed you know in you know america used to be
01:13:04.100
a very different place even when i was growing up you'd go from state to state and it would be very
01:13:08.160
different now it's just the same wherever you go um just the mountains are different you know um and
01:13:14.360
here in europe i think they're doing the same thing and trying to and it's it's it's really bad but with
01:13:20.980
that if that's really a possibility is that going to be allowed to happen
01:13:27.020
well the eu has a strange structure so um if you think of it in if i can try and relate it to the
01:13:35.500
way the u.s works you have your states which are the european countries and then you have your federal
01:13:41.300
government as you do in the u.s but the in the in europe you have the um individual countries who get
01:13:48.720
together and they work with the commission which is an unelected body that basically just dishes out
01:13:55.060
lots of rules that every country has to follow so you have that if you if you have eurosceptic
01:14:02.960
and anti-migrant parties coming to power at the same time then they will probably be able to overrule
01:14:09.200
the coalition and start unwinding some of these rules the thing is a lot of these parties are talked
01:14:15.580
about as though they're anti-migrant parties because that's the narrative now but a lot of
01:14:19.320
them started as being um rejecting european integration i mean reform in the uk that was
01:14:26.240
largely came about because it was about brexit it was about leaving the european union marine le pen was
01:14:31.960
always about leaving the european union and dropping the euro which she actually has dropped that now but
01:14:37.100
it's clear that her bias is against the euro georgia maloney came up in italy to be moaning the effect
01:14:43.440
of the single currency on her country and the afd the alternative for germany was actually founded
01:14:49.140
because of its opposition to the euro because there was after the financial crisis in 2008
01:14:55.580
it fell on germany to bail out basically all of southern europe to the detriment of its taxpayers
01:15:00.920
but aren't these the same people aren't these the same kind of issues though i mean when you boil it
01:15:06.640
down what what the people are saying is we don't want to be to be following a bunch of unelected
01:15:14.960
officials that we feel are destroying our livelihoods our lives um uh you know dictating everything and
01:15:22.720
now the it's not that they're anti-immigrant i don't think it's that that they like this this
01:15:28.900
doesn't make any sense it's destroying our cities it's destroying our culture so we just want our
01:15:35.460
countries back yeah with the what i was going to say the the issues in a way they're kind of tied in
01:15:42.100
with being anti-eu being anti-migrant it's about people wanting to feel represented by the people
01:15:47.760
in power and that they have their national interests interests at heart so so far you know you we have
01:15:54.120
had countries in the eu where they've had an a eurosceptic government but the rest of the main
01:15:58.680
countries in the eu have been pro-europe and so they've moved to suppress that country or punish them
01:16:03.480
that's what happened with britain um in many people's eyes and when it left the european union
01:16:08.440
but if you have france and germany especially the most influential within the eu now that britain's left
01:16:15.240
if you have parties in control of those hugely influential countries france the eu's main nuclear
01:16:21.740
power germany the economic power and they decide that they don't want this level of integration and
01:16:28.160
they decide that they don't want open borders then there would be no way to stop that
01:16:32.320
how is that going to be allowed to happen i mean you're living in in the uk where we're watching
01:16:40.180
your freedom of speech which you guys don't have codified but you know we've always thought that
01:16:46.620
we were living in free countries what's happening to the average person for just saying hey i don't agree
01:16:52.760
with this is insanity how how are they going to let go of that throat um many many people in the uk are
01:17:05.000
concerned about this it's one of the reasons why gb news has overtaken bbc news and sky news to become
01:17:10.560
britain's um number one news channel that happened i didn't know that congratulations gosh i didn't know
01:17:16.840
that good for you yeah it happened it happened three years ahead of schedule so um everyone at gb news is
01:17:23.100
feeling very happy about their work but it also shows that you know mainstream opinion mainstream
01:17:28.340
concerns haven't been being represented um by politicians and by the mainstream with the rest of
01:17:34.920
the mainstream media who purport to to represent the mainstream but it seems as though they're not
01:17:39.560
um and that's that's the issue i think people just want their borders protected it seems and they
01:17:46.760
want um people in charge of their countries that they feel love their country and they're prepared
01:17:51.700
to shop around to get it what is the pressure like with you guys at gb news
01:17:58.960
in what way speech saying the things that i mean you know you've got a very different system than
01:18:09.620
than we have uh what is the do you get the pushback at all i mean you know when they're arresting
01:18:16.240
citizens for posting something on facebook what's the pressure on you guys
01:18:19.880
um well as far as i'm aware we're allowed to say what we we need to say within the bounds of the
01:18:26.160
law and we've shown that with the fact that we've been able to um represent mainstream opinion on
01:18:31.580
immigration to talk about this you know we have a huge small boats crisis um in on the southern
01:18:37.080
coast of england um we've had 50 000 people 87 percent of which we found out and we revealed
01:18:43.360
exclusively yesterday are all men coming across on the channel that's 50 000 since labor took office
01:18:49.660
last summer we've been able to cover that we've been able to keep that on the agenda and we've been
01:18:54.780
able to secure policy changes from the labor government um it's more about we do we do have
01:19:02.000
restrictions on our speech in the uk we have things called hate speech laws um and there is
01:19:06.760
many people feel an arbitrary uh interpretation of them at times but we're finding that if you make
01:19:14.980
passionate arguments about and you champion britain um you're able to talk about what you need to
01:19:21.700
but we are massively concerned i mean the u.s state department released a report this week saying that
01:19:27.160
they are concerned about human rights violations with regards to speech we've seen last year in the
01:19:33.280
wake of the uh southport murders and the riots that followed that there were um european uh there
01:19:40.120
was a lady called lucy connolly who's still in prison now uh for a tweet she deleted that she put out in
01:19:45.520
haste um deleted herself if i'm not mistaken it wasn't asked to delete it actually felt bad about it was
01:19:52.480
like you know that wasn't so smart and deleted it herself and then they still arrested her
01:19:56.500
she did she did and it's come out today that there was a labor counselor in the uk who had
01:20:03.360
said in an open speech in public that people on the far right should have their throats cut and it's
01:20:08.900
just come out today that he has been found not guilty for hate speech so i think oh my gosh
01:20:13.960
people yeah so the issue i think for lots of people in the uk um we haven't really got to the
01:20:20.860
point to decide whether we want fully free speech i think a lot of the argument in the uk is if we
01:20:26.760
have these laws can they be applied equally and i think that's a lot of where our debate comes around
01:20:33.960
we've had hate speech laws since the 60s um we haven't had uh we don't have a first amendment like
01:20:40.220
the us and so i think there's there is of course we have what was called freedom of expression but
01:20:46.620
there's lots of different caveats to it um and so i think at the moment a lot of our debate is more
01:20:52.180
about can we at least trust the state and the judiciary to enforce our laws fairly and equally
01:20:59.860
across the board and we haven't even got to a stage yet where we're debating whether we should have
01:21:04.020
those laws at all you know some people would look at 50 000 men coming over in small boats men not
01:21:10.560
families men coming over and they would view that as an invasion uh of sorts how do you read that
01:21:19.860
there see the uk politics tends to be much more subdued than americans you guys are much more uh
01:21:28.640
dramatic and you well maybe because of your free speech culture you you tend to say what you think
01:21:33.700
more and you know to someone who's followed uk politics and covered lots of it to hear
01:21:39.320
politicians using the word invasion is quite shocking in britain it means that things have
01:21:44.980
are moving forward people are able to say more but it also speaks to more the fears i mean we've got
01:21:52.060
when when when migrants come to britain i don't know how much your your listeners know so i'll explain
01:21:56.600
a little bit when the migrants come to britain um they are treated as though um they're asylum
01:22:02.000
and when they come they get they get hosted in hotels um and with everything else paid for a little
01:22:08.600
stipend to tie them through and what they've been doing they've been putting them in hotels across
01:22:14.120
towns and villages across the uk so you could be in a village of five six hundred people all of a
01:22:20.060
sudden there's a hotel full of a hundred migrant men of very different cultures with very different
01:22:25.940
attitudes to women and children who have no job nothing to keep them occupied and they're allowed
01:22:30.560
to roam freely and what we're seeing is i mean in london um the bbc reported last year that there's a
01:22:36.340
rape an hour being reported um and that's and then we're seeing lots of um issues across even rural
01:22:43.100
britain now um story after story of um allegations against migrants for sexual crimes we've got mothers
01:22:51.460
on the streets in essex which is a county just to the east of london um a wealthy part of the country
01:22:57.420
um you know typical like middle class families and you've got these people who are not politically
01:23:02.880
motivated people that would never normally be out in the streets holding banners outside hotels
01:23:08.060
saying save our children and i think that that's something once you we're not like the french we
01:23:14.740
don't tend to go out in the streets for nothing i think once you get brits out in the street and
01:23:19.360
normally in our history it's only been about tax so no i know on the streets about something else
01:23:25.320
i you can't put it back in the box no i uh you know i don't know if you you know america's very
01:23:33.980
well aware of uh you know the uh the restraint of uh the british we're very well very well aware of
01:23:43.620
you don't exactly uh hype things up at all so we're aware of that uh thank you so much for everything
01:23:50.840
you're doing and please pass on my congratulations uh nick to everybody at uh gb news i didn't know
01:23:56.960
that this had happened and i'm thrilled we watch you and we watch and trust we're getting a a straight
01:24:03.960
uh straight deal from you guys and and it's nice to see thank you oh thanks for having me you bet
01:24:10.420

01:29:02.940
I have to tell you, I am becoming a bigger and bigger fan of Christian music.
01:29:08.540
It's kind of like, you know, when I was growing up, when I was growing up,
01:29:12.840
we had movies that were Christian movies, and they were horrible.
01:29:20.940
They were embarrassing and horrible, and just, you wanted to claw your eyes out.
01:29:28.920
Christian films, Christian TV shows are just really amazing.
01:29:32.900
Christian music, I don't think has ever been horrible, but it didn't sound the same.
01:29:38.320
It wasn't, I don't know, just, it wasn't as cool as, you know, hit music.
01:29:51.380
I'm doing a kind of a little mini concert interview with Emma Nissen,
01:29:55.500
who is this amazing Christian artist who has just kind of popped on the scene.
01:30:01.020
And she's a cross between, I don't know, Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone and, I don't know,
01:30:14.700
I heard another artist just a couple of weeks ago, and I immediately sent this song that
01:30:20.760
I heard to my daughter, who we're moving into her first apartment this weekend.
01:30:25.500
And, you know, because she's a show person, you know, she's part of those show people.
01:30:31.640
And so she's constantly, constantly worried about what people have been saying.
01:30:39.180
But it really was hard for her because, you know, it's hard for girls as it is, I think.
01:30:52.540
And I immediately looked the artist up and we tried to book her and she's on with us now.
01:30:58.860
I want to play a piece of this song because I just think it is.
01:31:07.500
First, let me tell you about my sponsor this half hour.
01:31:11.640
Turn on news, scroll social media, or listen to a few conversations in the coffee shop and
01:31:16.300
you realize how many people have been taught, you know, half-truths, distorted history, or
01:31:21.580
outright lies about America and history and our values that built this country.
01:31:28.040
It's what our schools and universities have been turning out for years now.
01:31:31.320
And PragerU is on the front line fighting back.
01:31:40.600
And I also am doing a two-day shoot with PragerU because I'm working with PragerU on something
01:31:50.640
Oh, it's going to drive the left out of their minds.
01:31:52.840
But I'm doing something with PragerU with the Department of Education.
01:31:57.780
And I'm really excited that what PragerU is bringing to the table for our students is
01:32:04.980
If you want to make an impact on the next generation, this month is the best time to support PragerU.
01:32:11.700
Also, my foundation, Mercury One, has already made a sizable donation.
01:32:34.680
I want to play, if I may, I want to play just a little bit of IDK for the audience, for
01:32:43.960
Listen to not only the voice and the production value, but listen to the words and what she's
01:33:23.580
I can't play any more of that because I'm only legally allowed to play 30 seconds of it,
01:33:43.220
How long have you been doing this and writing in particular?
01:33:48.740
I grew up in a music family, so my dad was actually a worship artist, singer, songwriter.
01:33:53.280
So I grew up touring with him in middle school, high school with writing songs since I was a kid just because I loved to.
01:33:59.060
It was my dream to do this someday, but I didn't release my first single until 2023, which did happen to go viral, and everything has snowballed after that.
01:34:15.640
And this one you just released, and it went mega viral in hours, didn't it?
01:34:24.320
You know, literally within a couple days, that thing had a bunch of millions of views on social media.
01:34:31.620
And then it definitely, when I released them, like, streaming platforms, it was my highest streamed song.
01:34:38.240
So I've had a couple moments like this, but IDK is definitely the biggest I've experienced, which is, like, really cool.
01:34:49.180
I'm doing a series of interviews with musical artists and things, and I would love to invite you up to the ranch if you would be willing to perform up at the ranch.
01:34:59.260
It's just kind of a performance and then conversation kind of thing, but we could talk about that off air if you're interested at all.
01:35:08.420
So the lyrics, really, on all of your songs are speaking, I think, they speak to me, and it shouldn't.
01:35:20.380
Anyway, but I thought of my daughter immediately because, I mean, girls are wicked.
01:35:32.660
And, you know, when she was going through high school, my gosh, it was constant, you know, crisis of identity and who do I listen to and everything else.
01:35:47.240
I struggled a lot with my mental health, I'd say, since I was, like, 10 years old.
01:35:54.180
So a lot of my, where these songs come from is just really me being mentally a disaster and having no idea how to heal and get better.
01:36:06.400
Can I ask you, what do you mean you struggled with mental health?
01:36:10.080
If you don't mind me, you can tell me to stop any time.
01:36:15.600
I have struggled with an anxiety disorder called obsessive-compulsive disorder and then struggled a lot with different trauma and episodes of depression.
01:36:27.820
And that was in and out throughout, like, middle school and high school and college.
01:36:32.600
College was at its worst, which was ironic because I was, like, playing college basketball.
01:36:36.340
I loved, like, performing on stage, but behind the scenes, I was just really debilitated.
01:36:43.780
I grew up in a Christian family, though, so I was like, oh, I, like, I should be able to trust God.
01:36:52.860
Like, if God loves me, how come I don't know how to love me?
01:36:55.960
And it was just this, like, tension at all times.
01:36:59.380
If I'm a Christian, I love God, why is it so hard?
01:37:03.040
And in college was when it was, I was struggling the most, but there was one night, like, in my car at 2 a.m.
01:37:09.240
And I always wrote songs to, like, get through all of this.
01:37:13.220
But I remember really experiencing Jesus in my mess, and I learned, like, His heart does not repel our mess.
01:37:20.340
He actually is a magnet to those who are broken.
01:37:23.840
And so the bigger the mess, the closer Jesus is.
01:37:27.220
That inspired me to be like, I'm not going to write songs and tie them up in a bow.
01:37:31.280
Like, I'm just going to say it as it is unfiltered.
01:37:33.940
And the Lord has, for some reason, taken these songs to a lot of places to help people.
01:37:39.940
So I just think He uses what's really bad and changes it for good, and that's a blessing.
01:37:45.380
I tell you, I can understand how I need to be as a father by looking at Him as my literal dad.
01:37:55.640
And I can look at my daughter and, you know, watch her struggle.
01:38:03.040
She struggled through a lot of the same stuff that you struggled with, and depression, you know, in and out of hospitals.
01:38:13.620
And she found, you know, God to be the answer as well.
01:38:29.200
They think of me, truth pushed aside by the opinions I've been harboring.
01:38:34.280
I want to love who I am, not through somebody's lens, but through the author holding the pen.
01:38:55.500
I'm sorry, I just, I heard the music and I loved it.
01:38:59.000
And I asked my staff, can you get a hold of her?
01:39:01.460
So, I don't know that much about you, but I want to learn.
01:39:11.700
So, we were all over the U.S., my band and I, for that.
01:39:15.900
And the last leg of tour, we had a couple headline shows in New York and Florida, and it was the first time playing IDK live.
01:39:25.380
And it was crazy how the fans, like, screamed that song.
01:39:30.820
So, that's kind of what we just finished up, and it was really cool.
01:39:35.120
We are currently working on tour plans for end of fall and then next spring.
01:39:39.280
But in the meantime, I'm just releasing, I have three more singles coming out this year, and very, very excited about them.
01:39:59.240
Digital Jesus is basically a song about going through grief or any mental struggle and, like, numbing it out with the phone and with the noise and just being like, God, I'm done, and, like, wanting to throw the phone away and run and be with the Lord and feel again.
01:40:16.520
And the bridge of the song really touches on how, like, the discomfort, where there's discomfort, where you feel a mess, that's where God's presence is dwelling.
01:40:26.360
And so, it's not fun, but to feel and to experience Jesus is worth it.
01:40:36.680
I lost my dad to cancer a year ago, and it was a really traumatic experience, and going through that type of grief was very foreign to me.
01:40:45.760
I was, I've never experienced something like that.
01:40:47.920
And so, who is God amidst grief and the mess has just been the theme of these songs, so.
01:41:01.380
I don't know if you've ever heard of Emma Nissen.
01:41:10.480
I just talked to her on the phone for, we were getting ready for her to come up at the ranch, and I just talked to her on the phone a couple of days ago.
01:41:18.560
She is really very, very kind, really powerful.
01:41:25.960
But she struggled through a lot of, I don't know if you follow her, but she talks about body image and everything else that I know girls are dealing with.
01:41:36.820
But anyway, she, I've heard her say that, you know, I don't necessarily want my music to be called Christian music or, you know, pop music or jazz or whatever.
01:41:50.860
And do you kind of feel that way, or are you kind of pushed into the Christian music, even though, I mean, your lyrics are obviously Christian, but it doesn't sound, I could listen to your music, and it's like listening to Billie Eilish or anybody else.
01:42:13.400
I totally understand Emma Nissen with that, too.
01:42:16.460
I think what Christian music is known as, like CCM, feels like such a strict bubble.
01:42:23.440
And I think a lot of us younger artists are ready to break free from that box.
01:42:29.620
I know for me, there was a time when I was traveling to Nashville.
01:42:33.940
I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota, but when I traveled to Nashville and was building a team,
01:42:38.080
a lot of people were, like, trying to help me write a song that's geared towards radio or fit the theme of, like, the Christian sound.
01:42:48.680
So I just kind of took it independent and built this from scratch a little bit.
01:42:52.840
And I have noticed that the industry has never been shifting and changing more than ever before.
01:43:00.120
And I think people are ready for just, like Emma said, good music.
01:43:04.340
For me, I think I am fine being known as, like, a Christian artist.
01:43:11.820
But I think more so my mission is to rebel against the, how do I explain this?
01:43:23.220
Yeah, it's a, I would love to show what it looks like to be an absolute disaster and still love Jesus,
01:43:27.940
to be doing the things that are, like, seem unchristian but are actually just revealing what mess looks like.
01:43:35.080
And my song's showing, just modeling what it looks like to be authentic with the Lord.
01:43:40.300
So whether or not I'm pegged as a Christian artist, as long as that's what people are experiencing from my songs,
01:43:45.260
then I've done my job, and I trust the Lord with the rest.
01:43:47.480
I will tell you, just stay true to him, and the whole world is going to change.
01:43:54.900
I think people have dealt with labels for so long.
01:44:00.500
And, you know, when I first heard Emma, I thought I could peg her with three.
01:44:08.180
I'd listen to a song, and I'm like, oh, that's who she is.
01:44:10.560
And then I'd listen to the next song, oh, that's who she is.
01:44:12.580
And then I heard, I don't remember what it is, but one of her songs, and she sounds exactly like Ella Fitzgerald.
01:44:18.940
And that's when I knew there's something entirely unique.
01:44:33.920
And I don't know why you can't have good quality music like yours that, yeah, it happens to mention God or Jesus.
01:44:44.680
But the other music that is pop is mentioning all kinds of darkness and really bad stuff.
01:44:52.740
I'd rather have me and my family fill my head with good music that I want to listen to, but also have decent lyrics.
01:45:02.840
Why does that have to be in a box that's not pop?
01:45:11.300
I think also the powers that be in the industry have never had the last power because we have virality and social media and this digital age gives everyone a much more of an equal chance to have a voice, which means the internet is chaos with music.
01:45:28.160
But it's beautiful because there are not as many gatekeepers.
01:45:36.280
I think it's a little unpredictable now, which means the Lord has more control on where the songs get to go and who it gets to impact, which anything in the Lord's hands, that's the best hands something can be in.
01:45:50.820
And I think it's chaotic, but it is a very important time for people to just write the music and make the songs that feels authentic to them.
01:46:00.200
And you bring Jesus into that, whether explicitly or implicitly, I think the Lord blesses it.
01:46:22.160
Especially if you have, you know, any girls or women even.
01:46:29.460
Anyway, let me talk to you a little bit about Good Ranchers.
01:46:31.500
Sometimes the best meals aren't just about what's going on the plate.
01:46:35.820
When you know your steak was raised on an American ranch by a family who puts care and pride into every cut, it just tastes better, I think.
01:46:42.440
Good Ranchers delivers 100% American meat with quality that you can taste from the very first bite.
01:46:47.440
And unlike so many mystery meats that come from who knows where, every box from Good Ranchers is sourced from here in the United States and supports American ranchers and American jobs and American economy.
01:46:59.480
So go to GoodRanchers.com, see what all the talk is about, and shop American, get American meat that you can trust.
01:47:09.160
You're going to get $40 off plus free meat for life.
01:47:11.400
That's promo code BECK, $40 off plus free meat for life when you start a new subscription.
01:47:20.900
You know, I was a top 40 program director for a long time, and I remember a radio station saying,
01:47:43.540
you can't play Pearl Jam, you can't play Stone Temple Pilots, you can't, you can't play any of these alternative on top 40.
01:48:00.700
And I have the sense, I had that sense back then that things were changing in music.
01:48:07.440
This music is going to become more and more popular.
01:48:10.540
Stu is just looking at me like, you wrecked every station you ever touched.
01:48:17.480
Well, first of all, that's mostly from your telling.
01:48:19.880
It's funny when you tell this story, because I live, I was a kid living in.
01:48:28.400
I was, you know, I don't know, late, like, I don't know.
01:48:33.820
And you were making these changes to the station I was listening to.
01:48:38.040
One of the stations I listened to on a normal basis.
01:48:39.760
Like, I totally went through this entire thing as a listener.
01:48:44.900
Because it was like, one day it was playing, like, one type of music.
01:48:48.240
And the next day it seemed to be totally different.
01:48:53.400
Yeah, you told me at one point, it was the time that you liked the station.
01:48:56.080
Yeah, it was the only time I really liked the station.
01:48:57.600
Other than when I was, like, a real small child, you know, listening to Top 40 only.
01:49:02.280
So, and it felt like it lasted, like, nine months.
01:49:12.280
And I was relieved of command after nine months.
01:49:27.420
And I think we have to spend a little time talking about cheerleaders next.
01:49:40.620
I've made a lot of decisions in my life, some I'm proud of, some I'd rather forget.
01:49:44.620
But one of the best is carrying my Berna launcher with me everywhere I go because it's not a firearm.
01:49:50.040
And someday, someday, somebody's going to do something stupid, and they'll be wailing on somebody in a crowd.
01:50:03.220
And I'll stop what was happening on the streets in Cincinnati.
01:50:08.040
It's a highly effective tool that can stop a threat cold without taking anybody's lives.
01:50:17.720
In fact, I have it here because I'm carrying it.
01:50:23.080
It'll fit into the small of your back, wherever you carry your gun.
01:50:29.880
I brought one because we're moving Hannah into her.
01:50:33.680
I'm moving Cheyenne into her new apartment this weekend, and I want to make sure that she can protect herself.
01:50:40.700
So she's got a Berna launcher that I'm going to put into her purse and force her to carry.
01:50:55.940
Gets every story we talk about every day free at glennbeck.com.
01:50:59.220
So, the Minnesota Vikings, the Vikings, now have two male cheerleaders.
01:51:25.660
Now, when I first heard this story, I said to my wife, wife, daughter, because they brought this up to me, and I said, well, now let's not be hasty.
01:51:36.240
I said, there's lots of sports teams that have male cheerleaders.
01:51:40.420
And I said to my wife and to my daughter, who are both cheerleaders, I said, didn't you have, you know, when, you know, college, didn't they have the guys run out and the cheerleaders, and they hold the girls up and throw them and everything else.
01:51:57.660
And I haven't seen the footage yet, but here are the two male Viking cheerleaders.
01:52:40.640
That came out way out of your mouth way too easily.
01:52:57.700
So, Vikings season ticket holders are canceling their season tickets.
01:53:03.000
And now, what part of Minnesota didn't you understand when you bought a ticket?
01:53:15.040
But the Vikings, the Vikings would have killed cheerleaders like that.
01:53:21.140
It's not like they, you know, they were on their ship.
01:53:32.700
Yeah, you don't see that in the history, historic accounts of their practices.
01:53:37.940
So, the Vikings having male cheerleaders like that not exactly makes a lot of sense.
01:53:50.580
I would say most NFL teams, you know, you would not be stunned to see it.
01:53:55.380
Cowboys, I would probably be stunned to see it.
01:53:57.560
I mean, most of their most feminine people in the team are players.
01:54:01.040
So, they wouldn't necessarily need them as cheerleaders.
01:54:09.880
Do you think the Eagles would put male cheerleaders like that on the field?
01:54:17.900
But, I don't think they do have male cheerleaders.
01:54:19.980
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:54:22.380
Do you think male cheerleaders like that would walk off the field of Philadelphia the same
01:54:38.560
But, I mean, the team, you know, the Eagles team is pretty liberal.
01:54:41.600
And the conservative, I mean, you know, the Cowboys, relatively speaking, pretty conservative,
01:54:47.300
You'd be very surprised to see that at the Cowboys.
01:54:50.120
I mean, this one is pretty over the top, though, right?
01:54:54.260
I mean, it's as, I don't know, it's as far as I've seen it.
01:55:04.920
He was, he's a guy who seemed a little effeminate to be in ISIS, but.
01:55:15.940
Send back your soldiers, your sailors, your spies, your attachés, et cetera.
01:55:36.340
Or we could, you don't do it, we're going to give you such a slap.
01:55:40.740
It was not, it was not necessarily the persona you'd expect to lead an Al-Qaeda messaging
01:56:06.980
You know he was looking forward to his shot as a Minnesota Vikings cheerleader, too.
01:56:21.300
It's again, it's again, it's again, the same people in Minnesota that are wrapping their
01:56:26.600
arms around the Somali flag, they're ready to put in an Islamist socialist mayor in Minneapolis
01:56:36.120
and you're putting on the two transgender bender cheerleaders.
01:56:44.820
That's not going to go well with your people in Somalia.
01:56:57.180
Adam Gaddan was kind of like, he was like early to that boat.
01:57:01.980
He was the, you know, he was the red, green, pink alliance way back before it was even a thing.
01:57:16.660
Are you just judging him by his accent, by his speech patterns?
01:57:24.860
By the way, I saw a promo for, oh, is it on Netflix for the Dallas Cowboy cheerleader thing?
01:57:35.240
Oh, it was a clip on, I think, on Instagram from one of the episodes where they're talking to the girls.
01:57:46.240
If you're doing a how the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders become Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, nowhere in that pitch should it say, and we talk to the girls.
01:57:56.700
It would be kind of a weird show if they didn't actually speak to the girls.
01:58:03.280
You know, I thought it was really weird when they did talk to them because of what they said.
01:58:11.640
They asked them questions like, who's the president of the United States?
01:58:47.420
There's just another 50 and then two end zones.
01:58:49.600
It was – I mean, it was – if I were dad or mom and I saw this episode, I'd be like, sweetheart, you're cute and everything and you can dance.
01:59:03.200
But we need to have a talk with you using what God gave you upstairs beyond the shoulders, a little higher than the shoulders.
01:59:12.720
We need you to work on that one a little bit, a little bit.
01:59:18.400
I will say, too, it seems like they've – for a long time, they were putting them on this reality show and they were, you know, dancing at all their losses.
01:59:26.400
And they were paying them like 11 cents a month.
01:59:30.520
And now I guess they've upped the salaries of them.
01:59:34.600
I mean, they're the most famous cheerleaders in the world, right?
01:59:37.580
And they were not exactly bringing in the cash.
01:59:48.220
You have the honor of being a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader.
01:59:59.960
It's a real honor and you could probably marry some real, you know, dumb, sexist money, too.
02:00:15.900
I don't think they have, you know, a TV show for the Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders, do they?
02:00:22.620
I mean, in Minnesota they have men now, you know, as cheerleaders.
02:00:25.840
But in Philadelphia they have cheerleaders that are female that just look like men.
02:00:30.820
Have you ever seen It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?
02:00:38.880
And I will say, you know, there is – I don't think there's any trans, you know, cheerleaders on the Eagles.
02:00:46.120
I will say their players keep wearing all this jewelry, though.
02:00:48.960
They keep getting all this new jewelry every couple of years, Jason.
02:00:51.900
How many years has it been since the Cowboys picked up some new jewelry?
02:01:02.720
Sitting in the heart of Dallas Cowboys, you know, the mecca there.
02:01:13.920
My entire life I've been an Eagles fan and living in areas where they hate the Eagles.
02:01:20.960
Which is – wait, wait, which is – hang on just a second.
02:01:27.920
Basically utter hatred for the Eagles every place I've been.
02:01:34.920
Sucks, I will say the past few years have been absolutely glorious living in this city.
02:01:42.340
Watching the Eagles win two Super Bowls with the Cowboys in whatever the hell they're doing right now has been utter pleasure from beginning to end.
02:01:53.660
And it's the only time in my life I've ever been able to enjoy it.
02:01:58.140
I will tell you, I have season tickets to the Cowboys.
02:02:00.500
And every time we go, I'm shocked at how many non-Cowboy fans are in the stands.
02:02:08.980
I mean, it's like the Cowboys are almost booed at home.
02:02:12.840
It's almost like, wow, there's a lot of people here that don't like the Cowboys.
02:02:18.180
And a lot of these, like, stadiums we're building now are kind of built for that, really.
02:02:30.080
You know, the nose doesn't bleed, but it's close.
02:02:33.460
But you're in the seats and we're at the 50-yard line and we're eye-level with the big, huge TV, giant TV.
02:02:41.980
And every time we're there, we're just watching it on TV.
02:02:46.300
And at some point, I look at, you know, my son.
02:02:58.040
No, I don't like going – it's a pain in the butt to go into a lot of these sporting arenas anymore.
02:03:09.660
It would be so much better if they would just put that yellow line down on where the first down is, you know?
02:03:29.000
Our sponsor this half hour is realestateagentsitrust.com.
02:03:33.740
Real Estate Agents I Trust is a company that I started out of frustration, and this is the first time that I've had a chance to really use it myself.
02:03:41.500
I started this company with my brother, Robert, years ago.
02:03:44.500
We started looking for great real estate agents because we both had problems with real estate agents.
02:03:49.920
And so I started working with what the Wall Street Journal says is the 500 best real estate agents in the country.
02:03:56.200
And I learned from them, and he learned from them, and we learned what it takes to be a really great agent.
02:04:02.760
And then we decided we'd start our own company that would recommend agents like that, and we'd find them all over the country.
02:04:09.920
We have a waiting list of I think over 10,000 now.
02:04:12.700
But we don't take everybody, and we want to make sure we can monitor everybody.
02:04:20.080
So we have a team that just monitors, and they check after the sale to make sure, hey, it was a real estate agent.
02:04:30.560
I'm just recommending the people that we have found, and we want to know, are they as good as, do they deserve to be turned on to other listeners?
02:04:39.260
And so I started using it myself because we're moving to Florida.
02:04:44.740
And I have to tell you, Lisa True was our agent there.
02:04:54.900
If you're in South Florida, you should look her up.
02:04:59.020
If she is recommended to you, I can tell you, and they're all like this.
02:05:07.760
Get somebody who listens to you, knows the market, knows how to negotiate, knows how to get the house that you are looking for, and help sell yours.
02:05:29.020
Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.
02:05:40.080
She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.
02:05:46.020
Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the country.
02:05:51.440
Everything was taken care of under one roof, and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.
02:05:56.260
I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.
02:06:37.840
There are actually 12 NFL teams that are introducing male cheerleaders this year.
02:06:43.140
But coming in at the power spot of number five, Stu's Philadelphia Eagles.
02:06:48.480
They could be recruiting their cheerleaders from Al-Qaeda, and I would still love them.
02:06:53.400
Unlike the Cowboys, people don't go just for the cheerleaders in Philadelphia, Jason.
02:07:23.400
I thought you were going to say natural, and I was going to say, eh, I don't know about
02:07:29.980
I know there's 100 yards on the football field.
02:07:38.480
Well, it's part of the enjoyment there, going to Cowboy Stadium, especially, as you mentioned,
02:07:45.200
It does get a little awkward when you're there with your kids, and they're six inches away
02:07:50.620
It's like, I don't know where I'm even supposed to look.
02:08:05.900
Now, you can look, but do not order from that menu.
