One of the biggest and scariest crimes going on right now is called house stealing.
00:00:35.820
It sounds kind of made up, kind of sounds like a fake thing, but it does happen.
00:00:39.800
And if you have home title lock, then you know, well, it might happen to others, but it's not happening to me.
00:00:44.580
Home title lock is the way you protect yourself against home title fraud.
00:00:48.080
When you're going to see your title get taken by some cyber thief, and they just sign a couple of papers and file them in the recorder's office,
00:00:56.380
and all of a sudden it looks like you sold your home to them.
00:01:00.440
And you might still be living in the house, which is fine, and things are typically going the normal way that they would.
00:01:06.460
However, you don't even have control of your home and your home's equity, which is such an important part of our financial future.
00:01:13.360
Just prepare yourself, you know, protect yourself for this from the beginning.
00:01:18.260
If you use the promo code blaze, you'll get 30 days off their triple lock protection,
00:01:21.420
and you'll get a free title history report so you can make sure you aren't already a victim.
00:01:31.080
Protect your home, your equity, and your peace of mind today.
00:02:43.700
I'm going to give you a little preview of what I think he should say.
00:02:46.380
Also, Mitch McConnell has come out with an op-ed in the Washington Post saying,
00:03:01.100
And we have Carol Roth to talk about that coming up next hour.
00:03:09.600
What would you like the president to say tonight?
00:03:16.180
What are the questions that you have for the president?
00:03:19.340
Not just the ones that you would like him to tout.
00:03:30.300
Let me just first tell you about real estate agents I trust.
00:03:32.700
There are some things that you just can't put a premium on.
00:03:35.080
Quality, dependability, and a hardworking attitude.
00:03:38.400
I can tell you from personal experience, those are the things I want most in a real estate agent when the time comes to buy or sell a home.
00:03:49.440
And it exists to make sure that you get the job done right the first time.
00:03:54.100
Real Estate Agents I Trust pairs you with the best real estate agent in your area.
00:03:58.120
Somebody who knows the best practices, somebody who understands the crazy housing market, somebody who's a team leader and a closer.
00:04:04.580
We have scoured the market for these people, and we vet them six ways to Sunday to make sure they're exactly what you need.
00:04:11.180
If you're thinking about buying or selling a home or both, please get in touch with them.
00:04:26.620
We're going to be, what time does our coverage start?

You'll get it from all of your favorite Blaze hosts, and we'll let him speak uninterrupted,
00:04:55.300
give you a little pre-show, and then after show, we'll be talking about the things that he did say
00:05:02.620
That's all on Blaze TV beginning tonight at 7.30.
00:05:18.920
So I just have to start here because this is the thing that is our biggest problem, and it is—
00:05:29.060
I was going to say this, but I want to be very careful.
00:05:33.320
It's old people, but it's old people that will not leave Congress or the Senate.
00:05:42.020
Donald Trump is an old guy, but he's not acting like it, and he's not thinking like it.
00:05:47.780
Mitch McConnell is an old guy who has old think, if he can even think.
00:06:01.740
Every time Congress faces a government funding deadline, Washington reminds itself that shutdowns are worth avoiding.
00:06:08.880
This is familiar in an all-too-frequent conversation.
00:06:14.280
Today, we're closer than ever on making ignoble history on the front of budgets, tomorrow's challenges.
00:06:23.280
And we owe it to our men in uniform and our taxpayers to be honest about the consequences.
00:06:27.980
Consumer goods aren't the only things that have grown more expensive in recent years.
00:06:31.640
In times of high inflation, governance without updated appropriation means diminished Pentagon buying power,
00:06:36.960
forcing the U.S. military to equip itself for the next year's threat at this year's prices.
00:06:42.520
Even as fresh eyes comb the Pentagon for new efficiencies and cost savings,
00:06:46.880
effective military acquisitions continue to require multi-year runways.
00:06:51.560
A truly clean full-year continuing resolution would, at the level set for 2024,
00:06:57.740
would mean no new starts on critical programs that the military needs.
00:07:01.680
Okay, he goes on and on and on about how the Pentagon just needs more money.
00:07:05.820
We just have to spend more, more, more on more, more, more for the Pentagon.
00:07:18.000
Your call for more Pentagon spending is as tone-deaf as it is reckless.
00:07:25.080
The United States, I don't know if you know this,
00:07:27.020
already spends more on its military than the next nine countries combined.
00:07:39.220
dwarfing China, Russia, and the entire EU's collective defense budgets.
00:07:46.020
All of those, nine countries, and they're the big nine.
00:07:57.020
Why are you so worried about China if they don't have all this money?
00:08:07.420
is somehow or another going to secure our future.
00:08:12.820
and your priorities are stuck in the old time, country time era.
00:08:21.020
those floating behemoths that you and the Pentagon so dearly love,
00:08:31.480
they'll be as useless as horses were in World War I.
00:08:35.540
Speaking of which, let me just give you the stats on the horses,
00:08:38.320
because it's going to be applicable to the aircraft carriers
00:08:56.700
Because they were mowed down and slaughtered by machine guns
00:09:00.940
and tanks that ran over them because they couldn't outrun them.
00:09:12.920
That is the fate awaiting your aircraft carriers.
00:09:26.500
That'll happen before they can even launch a jet.
00:09:42.040
and, unfortunately, artificial superintelligence.
00:09:46.300
Every dollar spent on yesterday's hardware today
00:09:53.680
when AGI upends everything we know about warfare.
00:10:02.600
will balloon into $2 or $3 of inflation tomorrow
00:10:06.760
thanks to the House and the Senate's obscene spending spree.
00:10:11.520
We're drowning in $34 trillion of national debt.
00:10:35.260
to go over $1 trillion this year or early next.
00:10:48.820
And yet, you want to shovel more taxpayer money
00:10:53.220
that hasn't passed a single audit in its history?
00:11:44.240
Your refusal to adapt is jeopardizing our security
00:11:52.600
Has anybody seen the drone shows that China does?
00:11:56.420
they seem to do it like 700 times a day or a week.
00:44:02.440
Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side.
00:44:09.720
Stand your ground when times get dark, gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.
00:44:26.760
Hello America, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:44:29.560
When it comes to the President's speech, which we'll be covering on Blaze TV tonight, 7.30 our live coverage begins.
00:44:36.660
I'll be there, Stu will be there, all of your favorite Blaze TV hosts.
00:44:41.660
We're going to first give you a little pregame.
00:44:43.640
And then cover the President, let him speak, and then after we'll give you our analysis.
00:44:48.400
But also during, you can directly talk to your favorite Blaze TV hosts.
00:44:53.620
We're going to be online with you in the, what do you even call it?
00:45:02.720
I guess we're going to be doing live chat with you as a Blaze TV subscriber.
00:45:09.840
Join the Blaze tonight and get the coverage you need for the President.
00:45:13.600
Now, we're going to talk a little bit about the things he has to say.
00:45:16.460
But one of the things that is deeply concerning is the economy.
00:45:21.840
And nothing this President could have done in 40 days would cause the kinds of things that we're beginning to see.
00:45:41.100
We're going to explain what's coming and what you need to prepare mentally for.
00:45:46.760
What's the country going to look like in a few months?
00:45:48.720
If this continues down this road, we'll talk about that coming up in 60 seconds.
00:45:53.700
First, if you've ever been in a situation where you wanted to do the right thing, but you didn't feel like you could.
00:45:59.060
Sadly, that is the position that many women find themselves in when they have an unexpected pregnancy.
00:46:05.280
In those dark moments of indecision, it sometimes will seem like abortion is the only real choice that they have.
00:46:11.800
Thank God, pre-born is showing those mothers another way.
00:46:15.220
First of all, they show them that what you're carrying is a baby.
00:46:19.580
They offer free ultrasounds so they can meet their unborn child and hear his or her heartbeat.
00:46:36.860
They offer maternity clothes, doctor visits, and so much more for up to two full years.
00:46:43.500
Would you be the voice for pre-born and become a monthly donor?
00:46:46.820
$28 a month could be the difference between life and death of so many babies.
00:46:55.520
Or you can go to pound 250, say the keyword baby.
00:47:04.960
You know, Glenn, I just found out that we've only been in this administration for a month and a half-ish.
00:47:14.260
There's been so much going on that I'm just trying to process it out.
00:47:17.560
When someone said, oh, it's only been a month and a half, I went, yeah, my mind was blown.
00:47:21.420
Yeah, we're 40 days into, around 40 days into this administration.
00:47:24.880
And you're looking at this, and it's breathtaking at what has been done.
00:47:32.680
Last month, we had, I think, 1,800 encounters at the borders.
00:47:38.680
A year ago, last February, it was 109,000 encounters.
00:47:44.180
That's how much of an impact he's made on that.
00:47:48.540
But when it comes to the economy, Congress has to move on some of his things.
00:47:54.820
He hasn't really done anything with the economy except, perhaps, for Doge, which you've been warning about on this program for a while now.
00:48:09.540
So, you know, we've talked about before that the economic situation is not really what it was presented to be.
00:48:18.580
You know, we heard under Biden and certainly during election season, what a wonderful economy we had.
00:48:26.100
All of these really great statistics on employment and growth.
00:48:29.920
And it's become very clear, well, it was very clear to all of us before we've talked about it, something that Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besant, talked about in a speech a couple weeks ago, is that really the economic foundation is incredibly fragile.
00:48:45.380
And what we've had the Biden administration do, which was exceptionally nefarious, is that they decided that they were going to spend to paper over the weakness of the economy.
00:48:56.680
So if you remember, I think it was back in 2022, we had those two down quarters of GDP, which is a technical recession, which for some reason, by the way, they said was not a recession.
00:49:07.320
I'm sure if Trump had two down quarters, they would say it was.
00:49:10.540
But, you know, it had a D in front of it, but it wasn't.
00:49:14.500
And then, you know, we came out of it and then it was pretty clear that we were going to go into this double dip recession.
00:49:21.260
They decided to increase government spending, which is very inefficient spending.
00:49:25.720
And we've been running deficits as a percentage of GDP that are at wartime levels.
00:49:35.380
The historical average is somewhere around three or three and a half percent.
00:49:39.600
So about double, you know, what you might see on average.
00:49:43.620
Not, you know, when you have a good economy, you would actually expect that to be much lower because you're getting more receipts.
00:49:51.900
We were taking in almost five trillion dollars.
00:49:54.480
We were spending the U.S. government and they're spending even more.
00:49:57.120
They're spending almost seven trillion dollars.
00:49:59.280
So that was done to mask the weakness and the economy.
00:50:03.460
Now that we don't have the ability to continue to kick up even more and more to show growth, the consumer continues to be tapped out from all the Biden era policies.
00:50:14.760
And the fact that we have Doge, which is trying to cut down government spending, we're at a situation where things could get uglier before they get better or they could get uglier and they could take away the political will to make them better.
00:50:32.220
And that's, you know, this delicate dance that we've been talking about, why we need this careful choreography.
00:50:37.420
The craziest thing that's happened over the past several days is that the Atlanta Fed, you know, one of the branches of the Federal Reserve that has a tool that predicts GDP for each quarter.
00:50:50.420
They went in the last four weeks, OK, four weeks time from predicting that we were going to have almost four percent GDP growth in the first quarter to now negative three percent in the first quarter.
00:51:07.740
That is a seven percentage point difference in four weeks, which, A, just goes to show what a joke, you know, any of this reporting and these tools and this data are.
00:51:19.480
But I think also shows, hey, we've got somebody else at the helm here.
00:51:25.820
So now we don't need to doctor these numbers in a way that seem a bit more friendly.
00:51:31.340
And so we potentially could be seeing something ugly, which is something that we've talked about many, many times.
00:51:39.000
And this has been a setup that they knew was coming.
00:51:42.580
If you if you go back to the middle of last year, you had a bunch of, quote, unquote, Nobel economists that put out a piece that said that, you know, Trump was going to create inflation.
00:51:52.560
He was going to do all these bad things to the economy.
00:51:54.500
And I called it out right then and there and said, this is a setup.
00:51:59.600
And so they are setting the groundwork to blame this on Trump.
00:52:03.420
And so, you know, get ready for the talking points.
00:52:06.480
You know, Trump's been, as we said, only in there for six weeks.
00:52:09.460
He hasn't even really had a chance to do anything about the economy.
00:52:14.540
And yet we're already getting the rhetoric that, oh, you know, look what he did to our really great economy.
00:52:20.620
Correct me if I'm wrong here, Carol, but the Biden administration, while they spent a lot of money, they did it in ways to cover things up, et cetera, et cetera.
00:52:33.420
But that big 2021, you know, $1.2 trillion bill and then the $836 billion for roads and bridges and broadband and then the $144 billion in the Inflation Reduction Act, it's well over a trillion dollars.
00:52:51.920
And it's my understanding that only 17% of that money has been spent.
00:52:56.580
So what happens if we don't stop the spending of just the stuff that is already on the books from Biden?
00:53:08.180
Wouldn't that cause our inflation to go through the roof?
00:53:11.780
Yeah, it absolutely would cause our inflation to go through the roof because, you know, even with the cash in and cash out that we have, as we said, we're running these wartime level deficits.
00:53:21.280
And by the way, we're financing those at high interest rates, not necessarily in the historical context, but in the context of the last 15 years.
00:53:29.920
And in a way that we have now made the interest expense on our debt, you know, what we're paying for stuff we've already bought, exceed, the financing charges exceed what we're spending on defense.
00:53:41.840
Niall Ferguson has a great sort of maxim, if you will, that basically I'm paraphrasing here, but, you know, nations that spend more on interest versus debt don't, you know, remain great nations for very long.
00:53:56.780
That seems to be a pretty obvious, something that everybody can wrap their heads around, that we don't want to be spending all of our money, you know, paying for stuff that we've quote unquote already bought.
00:54:08.200
And we certainly, at these levels, cannot afford to do that.
00:54:13.220
If we continue to do that, and, you know, this kind of goes into another conversation that we've had before, Glenn, too, is that, you know, central banks around the world, who used to be our friends in support of the U.S. being the world's reserve currency, used to just buy treasuries, you know, it's kind of part of the deal here on an ongoing basis.
00:54:32.200
Over the past, you know, 11 or so years, they have been net sellers of treasuries.
00:54:38.220
They've actually replaced that with gold on their balance sheet.
00:54:40.800
So if we don't have central banks that will just buy treasuries whenever, because that's part of the geopolitical deal, that means you have to find people who are, you know, are looking at the price.
00:54:51.900
They're looking at the price of the treasuries.
00:54:54.260
And basically, you know, at this at these levels, even though they've come off a little bit and we can talk about that, too, but they're saying they're overall saying, yeah, we're not going to do that.
00:55:05.580
You know, we we need, you know, to have a reprice here.
00:55:08.820
And, you know, when you don't have enough demand, you end up seeing our yields go higher.
00:55:14.700
And to the extent they add up too high, which we were dangerously close to a few weeks ago, that has come off now.
00:55:21.340
You know, but if you hit that, that could end up causing a debt spiral.
00:55:26.380
It could end up causing a mismanagement or excuse me, not a mismanagement, but basically a throwing up, if you will, of the treasury market and have global implications.
00:55:34.820
So let me just explain this so the average person can understand what you just said.
00:55:39.740
You are you're wanting to buy a new house and the interest rates are up at eight percent.
00:55:49.120
You say, honey, I don't think we should buy a new house.
00:56:03.220
We're buying today with our financial situation.
00:56:13.460
And you'd start saving money to buy a house later.
00:56:18.500
They're saying, let's buy the house at these high interest rates anyway.
00:56:22.440
But when you have poor credit, really good banks are going to say, no, I'm not going to take your loan.
00:56:30.420
That's what she's talking about with the central banks.
00:56:34.080
I'd rather buy gold because I don't trust that you guys are ever going to get out of debt.
00:56:44.120
This is what she's saying about the yield going up.
00:56:46.480
The loan sharks step in and they say, I can make this deal for you.
00:56:56.860
So we're we're burying ourselves with loan sharks.
00:57:02.860
That's why I believe the president needs to say tonight, Congress must pass a budget.
00:57:13.880
I'd love him to say it must have a trillion dollars, bare minimum of cuts to show the rest of the world that we're serious.
00:57:25.020
I don't know why Javier Malay can do these things, but we can't.
00:57:31.100
However, however, Glenn, if we cut, as we've talked about, we cut a trillion dollars and we just cut it off very carefully and we don't choreograph it like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
00:57:49.040
We're taking in less receipts and we actually explode the deficit, which could end up in a debt spiral.
00:57:57.260
So, yes, Congress needs to do their part, but it needs to be done very surgically.
00:58:04.700
That is the mess that the Biden administration left for Trump.
00:58:08.180
If I were king of the world today and I could go in and say, Congress, this is what you're going to do.
00:58:14.960
I would say to them, you're going to cut a trillion dollars.
00:58:17.920
Plus, you're going to pass either a flat tax or 15-15-15, what the president has talked about.
00:58:24.360
And you're going to cut 50 percent of all regulations.
00:58:36.820
Yes, we would have all of that spending going away from our GDP, from the government.
00:58:44.480
But money would flow into our country and jobs would be created and we'd ignite the engine at the same time.
00:58:54.180
But that's not going to be the president's fault if it doesn't happen.
00:58:58.280
It's going to be the lame-ass GOP that will screw this up.
00:59:04.840
Back in just a second, more Carol Roth with some good news.
00:59:08.080
Every day, all across the country, people feel, you know, like me, you know, better than we used to.
00:59:13.900
You know, it doesn't hurt as much as it used to, really.
00:59:18.320
It doesn't hurt mentally, but it also doesn't hurt physically because I've started taking Relief Factor.
00:59:24.420
And so my pain in my body is not what it was by any stretch of the imagination.
00:59:31.040
This is a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation, which is the source of most of the pain in our bodies.
00:59:39.080
It's 100% drug-free, developed by doctors to help reduce or eliminate pain.
00:59:42.960
Over a million people have tried Relief Factor's Quick Start Kit.
00:59:46.200
70% of them have gone on to order it again and again.
00:59:49.080
And if you're somebody who is in pain, you know what it's like.
01:00:08.940
Okay, is there anything else you think we need to hit here on the economy before we get to some good news?
01:00:26.380
I mean, this is going to be probably a whole other segment, but I'll just throw out there at some point we need to have a discussion about these tariffs.
01:00:34.140
Now is probably not the time because it's a very large discussion.
01:00:37.840
But we need to have a discussion about these tariffs.
01:00:44.620
So basically, what did the American people hire Trump to do, right?
01:00:49.540
They hired to stabilize prices, to get things more normalized.
01:00:53.980
And yes, we have these issues around the world in terms of where we stand in trade.
01:01:00.680
However, as we have been talking about, we just talked about, this needs to be very surgical.
01:01:05.500
We need to have Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers doing the choreography.
01:01:11.720
And the tariff situation, given the precarious economic situation that Biden has left us,
01:01:18.500
and the fact that the citizens of the United States want price stability is absolutely maddening.
01:01:27.780
I understood the first time around that we're trying to put some pressure, show who's the big dog, get people to come to the table.
01:01:34.140
But now, you know, we're going after our allies.
01:01:38.240
We're going, you know, we're trying to, you know, kind of separate ourselves from China.
01:01:42.040
Well, we have companies who decided to move manufacturing from China to Mexico so that they could be more aligned with the United States and North America.
01:01:50.160
And now we're putting these crazy tariffs on it.
01:01:53.580
This is something that, frankly, nobody in any economic circle that I know understands the strategy and does not seem to be consistent with what it is we've been talking about.
01:02:05.240
So may I suggest Donald Trump plays many different games all at once.
01:02:10.680
And the strategy when it comes to Canada and Mexico, I don't think has anything to do really with the economy.
01:02:26.220
Stop fentanyl and recognize that your cartels are terror organizations.
01:02:36.900
He's not saying, you know, we you're you're charging us too much for our milk and not enough for your milk or whatever.
01:02:46.560
But that's not really what he's after, I believe, on the tariffs with Canada and Mexico.
01:02:54.380
That was the first time we tried this and he got them to the table.
01:02:58.880
And now we need to have sort of a different situation, because the reality is that, as you said, he's made huge strides.
01:03:08.420
We have a tiny fraction of the encounters at the border.
01:03:13.860
But things like price stability are not necessarily yet moving in the right direction.
01:03:18.920
And to throw this into the mix at a time that is so precarious from an economic situation, even if that is the ultimate outcome, it seems like the wrong tactic to take because the situation on the economic front is so volatile.
01:03:41.500
And just to back up Carol's point on the on the border, I mean, we're down.
01:03:44.520
This is the lowest month we've had in at least 25 years of border crossings, like 1968 or something crazy like that.
01:03:51.020
The only other close month was April 2017, right after Trump came in the first time.
01:03:59.380
This seems to be, you know, backing up with action.
01:04:02.320
And, you know, I, you know, I tend to agree on the tariffs with Carol.
01:04:12.220
But again, that's and that is defensible logically.
01:04:17.460
Canada signed an agreement with there would be no tariffs between.
01:04:24.080
And that's and that's going back to the surgical part.
01:04:26.280
If it was something very specific, I could understand.
01:04:29.060
But across the board at these levels seems really insane at this point.
01:04:35.480
We we have some good news to share with some really good news.
01:04:47.900
Also, I want to find out about this Bitcoin conference that is happening on Friday.
01:04:53.860
What are we expecting and what's that going to do?
01:05:18.960
Come to think of it, Patriot Mobile, unlike all of the Nazis, are for all of your rights.
01:05:31.340
They're on the top of all three cell towers that, you know, all three companies have.
01:05:36.660
So they offer service that's just as good as the big mobile companies.
01:05:40.080
And their customer service, in my opinion, is even better.
01:05:42.660
For one thing, it's entirely based in the U.S., and that's hard to beat.
01:05:45.880
I have believed in Patriot Mobile for years now.
01:05:52.360
Even though I don't use it, I have absolutely no idea where it is right now.
01:05:57.900
But America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company.
01:06:01.740
Well, somebody asked me the other day, what's your phone number?
01:06:04.940
But don't call it anyway, because I have no idea where it is.
01:06:10.280
Get a free month of service with the promo code back.
01:06:44.200
She is always here to set us straight on the economy.
01:06:50.560
She just gave me one of the best ideas for a monologue.
01:06:58.040
Well, to be able to explain why government never works.
01:07:04.040
Government spending and all that stuff just doesn't work.
01:07:11.040
So Stu and I are still talking about the tariffs as well,
01:07:19.100
I have been for tariffs in the way he has been using them.
01:07:25.760
He's been using them as a, I'm going to step on your neck
01:07:34.840
And they gave, but they didn't do exactly what he wanted.
01:07:38.760
And then he stepped on their neck a little harder.
01:07:43.420
I hope it works out in his favor because I don't want to see him
01:07:47.260
have to have Justin Trudeau going, see, we beat him, the big bully.
01:07:53.780
Uh, the, the second way of doing tariffs is I believe in free trade, but if you're not
01:08:01.240
going to play by free trade, then I'm going to play by your rules, which will balance the
01:08:06.860
playing field and give us the next best thing to free trade.
01:08:11.320
We're playing, playing free trade on your rules of a level playing field.
01:08:18.440
I don't, I don't know how all of this is going to work out so far.
01:08:24.080
I have watched it be really, really good, but the stock market dropping, I mean, it's, it's
01:08:35.660
Um, I do think there's a chance that he is doing this in an extended way of what he did
01:08:41.920
last time in which he's saying, instead of saying the threat of tariffs for negotiation,
01:08:47.020
he's thinking they need to feel the pain of the tariffs and then they'll come to the
01:08:50.760
table with whatever he's looking for on it, which we don't really know what it is.
01:08:53.600
Um, but that being said, it's also, the problem with tariffs is it caused pain on both sides
01:08:59.680
and the, the strategy of it is I can withstand this pain more than you can withstand this
01:09:09.900
So we're talking about all of these things as if we were in a normal world and we're not,
01:09:16.240
we're on the precipice of economic crisis, thanks to the Biden administration.
01:09:21.340
And so, you know, the tactics and strategies that we may have been able to employ during
01:09:27.000
a normal time are not what are required right now.
01:09:30.740
Like we said, the first time he threatened the tariffs, it worked on the immigration or
01:09:37.120
We stopped the flow of illegals, you know, to the point where we haven't seen these numbers
01:09:45.120
But right now, what the American public needs is some certainty and stability.
01:09:51.340
And so with this very fragile economic situation, anything that is going to make it worse is
01:10:01.480
And we also have to decide, you know, who is going to be on our side and who's not going
01:10:07.320
If China is really the enemy here, then maybe just say, okay, we got, you know, a little bit
01:10:14.140
of a way down with China and Mexico, or to me, with Canada and Mexico and what we wanted.
01:10:20.420
And now we're going to focus on this thing with China and keep our allies intact.
01:10:25.140
I just don't think now is the time when we require this very careful choreography to get
01:10:30.260
us out of a crazy economic situation to be throwing around these massive tariffs, to be
01:10:35.820
creating chaos in the stock market, to create uncertainty potential, you know, for a potential
01:10:41.640
for a rising dollar, which would be a major issue.
01:10:44.960
I know it's come down a little bit here, but if these go into place, that's going to be
01:10:48.940
I mean, there are a lot of big issues that are all tied up together here.
01:10:54.100
I would agree with you possibly on, I mean, I want to see this play out for a couple of
01:10:58.660
days on Canada and Mexico, but I have, I have no problem with any kind of treaties that
01:11:05.220
And, and because I think it's free and fair if we play by their rules.
01:11:10.520
And I'm not sure that they are our allies anymore.
01:11:13.960
When they, when they will say in front of people, in front of cameras, America doesn't
01:11:21.940
After a speech about freedom of speech and not putting political opponents in jail, I'm
01:11:29.260
not sure I want to be spending any money defending that because they're not, we're not on the
01:11:38.280
I mean, obviously that speaks to bigger geopolitical strategy in terms of, do we want them to be
01:11:44.900
You know, the, the friend of my, my enemy is my friend.
01:11:48.080
And, you know, it's, it's kind of, we have to be very careful so we can acknowledge that
01:11:54.460
We know that they are paper tigers and, and very weak.
01:12:01.360
And so we don't have to necessarily fund them, but at the same time too, we also have to be
01:12:06.460
wary of the global economic situation and how that's going to impact American lives.
01:12:13.740
So that needs to be kind of the underpinning of everything else.
01:12:17.620
Let me, uh, uh, let me switch gears to this meeting that's happening on Friday with, uh,
01:12:28.780
And when the government says that the government, the United States government is the largest holder
01:12:34.600
I don't know if anybody knows that, but we're the largest bit, uh, uh, Bitcoin holder.
01:12:39.800
Um, and the president just signed an executive order saying we're going to hold onto it, which
01:12:45.500
Um, at least for Bitcoin and, and, uh, and I think for the country as well, but the price
01:12:52.940
And everybody's been saying they've been waiting for this.
01:12:54.900
Are they waiting to see what it actually means over the weekend, Carol?
01:12:59.600
Well, it went up and then it went back down again.
01:13:01.460
Um, this has been, so, you know, the first thing that happened is that we had this announcement
01:13:06.920
of some sort of cryptocurrency strategic reserve.
01:13:10.920
And, you know, again, and, and, and this is, this is not meant to pick on the Trump administration
01:13:14.940
because obviously we know we're all, we're all rooting for Trump to succeed, but there
01:13:21.880
Um, when you think about a strategic reserve, Glenn, you're thinking about things that you need
01:13:27.000
in case of a national emergency, in case of an economic emergency that you have
01:13:32.100
And so it makes sense that we would have oil or ammunition or medicine or things stockpiled.
01:13:37.580
But all of a sudden we say, well, we need to have a cryptocurrency stockpile strategic
01:13:50.800
It's not, it's not being held by central banks around the world.
01:13:54.100
It's not something that we actually even, you know, have in tangible form.
01:13:57.860
And, you know, this kind of goes to the bigger feeling from the crypto community.
01:14:02.780
When this was announced, it was not announced as a Bitcoin reserve.
01:14:06.640
It was announced as a reserve that included all kinds of things, including, you know, things
01:14:11.420
that bordered on meme coins and alternative coins that most people in the cryptocurrency
01:14:17.480
community don't think have any intrinsic value.
01:14:20.700
And so that's been part of the frustration that if you want to make the argument for
01:14:24.860
a Bitcoin only reserve, then we can have a healthy debate.
01:14:28.860
And maybe there's a, you know, some sort of, you know, but isn't it XRP that they think
01:14:35.040
that the, the, the banking system is actually going to be built on not necessarily Bitcoin,
01:14:40.860
but XRP, because I don't know, it's faster or whatever.
01:14:43.560
But some of the coins that he included make sense to me because it, it is building the
01:14:50.440
future and the highways of our financial system.
01:14:56.120
I think that the, the feeling from the community is that in terms of anything that looks like
01:15:01.520
hard money, that Bitcoin is the only one that comes close to that.
01:15:05.440
And that there are a lot of people in the administration who frankly have interests in cryptocurrency.
01:15:11.720
And that's why it's getting this level of attention.
01:15:14.800
So I think that perhaps maybe there's clarification this week of what this strategic reserve looks
01:15:21.840
like, as you mentioned the holdings of cryptocurrency by the U S you know, I believe you're referencing
01:15:28.300
the amount of cryptocurrency that we have seized from criminals and other organizations.
01:15:35.700
It's much better for everybody of the market and, uh, to have some stored value for the United States.
01:15:45.420
Or we, or we, or we could jump it off and pay down our debt and not have an interest that,
01:15:52.420
If you, if you want to, if you want to do that and you're not selling it all at once.
01:15:56.820
So the, the price of it doesn't collapse, you know, I, I don't have a problem with that either.
01:16:07.340
I would just say, you know, based on his announcement, he had said that he wants to,
01:16:11.380
you know, elevate the industry, which is again, a weird thing to say when we're talking about
01:16:17.500
It wasn't sort of clear how that, you know, ties into the elevating the industry.
01:16:22.520
But I do think what is, if there's any good point, um, from a crypto fan standpoint,
01:16:29.400
that they're saying that at least he's going to bring some legitimacy to the industry and
01:16:34.020
not, uh, persecute it the way the Biden administration has.
01:16:37.900
So maybe there's some clarity on rulemaking and whatnot.
01:16:40.360
And I think that's all positive, but when we start getting into strategic reserves, when
01:16:46.140
we're running wartime deficit, you know, again, my head starts to spin a little bit.
01:16:49.760
So there's been one thing that we've talked about for several months and that's, uh, FinCEN
01:16:53.260
and this, this, uh, criminalization of small time business owners, and it has been delayed
01:17:15.420
I want to thank you, Glenn, because, you know, we've been talking about this for almost a year.
01:17:21.020
Your audience has been very active in this fight.
01:17:23.580
So this is that, like you said, the CTA BOI rule that was making small businesses have to
01:17:28.680
register as financial criminals or face jail times and massive penalties.
01:17:33.100
We've been working so hard to try to get this taken away, um, or at least, you know, put to
01:17:39.800
So last Thursday, the 27th treasury came out and said, we are not going to penalize you.
01:17:47.040
If you, if we're not going to enforce penalties and we're going to try to narrow the scope
01:17:51.060
because we don't think this is fair for small business.
01:17:53.200
And then on Sunday, they put out a press release saying, okay, we are not for anybody who is
01:18:02.200
So a domestic company, you do not have to do this.
01:18:11.800
We need Congress to codify and follow treasury's lead, or we need the courts to win because we
01:18:17.880
You know, we have a great treasury secretary who wants main street to thrive.
01:18:21.740
We have a president who wants main street to thrive and they've done this, but if they
01:18:25.260
can do that, then the next administration, you know, that, that is a democratic administration
01:18:30.900
And we need to create that certainty for small businesses, housing association boards, and
01:18:36.360
So we need for Congress to narrow the scope to foreign companies, only foreign reporting
01:18:42.960
So tell Congress, they still need to pass that law and codify and take treasury's lead.
01:18:49.220
And, you know, otherwise we're, you and I are going to be talking about this again at
01:18:52.700
some point in the future, but it's by the way, but we can celebrate, you know, all the
01:18:58.660
They put in a statements for the record that I took to Congress.
01:19:02.280
You know, we've been working so, so hard on this, all of the groups that filed lawsuits
01:19:06.840
that even gave us the ability to have the time to make this happen, to allow this new
01:19:23.140
You can follow her on X at Carol J S Roth, Carol J S Roth.
01:19:30.440
Um, uh, tonight it's going to be very important to watch the president's speech.
01:19:35.220
We're going to be doing it beginning at seven 30.
01:19:39.120
All of your favorite blaze TV hosts are going to be here.
01:19:42.120
Uh, we're going to give you what we hope and what we think is going to happen prior
01:19:47.480
We'll then jump online with you and we'll have a chat with anybody who's on blaze TV.
01:19:54.020
Your favorite host will answer, uh, including me.
01:19:58.460
Uh, and then after he speaks, we'll have a recap of it and we'll get the opinions of all
01:20:07.860
But the one thing that the one thing I want him to say is Republicans, you are going to
01:20:24.260
The American people are for cutting a trillion dollars out of this budget, a trillion.
01:20:31.200
And that number is in the 70% range on all Americans.
01:20:40.840
You have to pass the reins act so you can take your power back.
01:20:45.720
You've got to do it and you've got to do it now.
01:20:48.120
Oh, and by the way, pass the tax cuts because I think they're just the beginning.
01:20:52.480
I'd like, I'd like to hear him forcefully say that to Congress.
01:21:02.800
I, per one, don't know why you're in the mountains because I know what happens in the
01:21:07.660
Suddenly there's a rustle and a mountain lion lunges out from the brush, claws out, teeth
01:21:14.480
Now, normally you don't see a mountain lion coming.
01:21:17.420
You were just dumb enough to be up in the mountains.
01:21:21.040
And usually it's already ripped your throat out, but just because it works for this commercial,
01:21:33.280
And then you realize, wait a minute, I've got my burner launcher.
01:21:37.280
One pull pepper round rips through the air 300 feet per second straight into its mouth.
01:21:53.920
It's not lethal, but it is the wall between you and the wild, whether that's in the city
01:22:02.560
Go to Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Beck right now.
01:22:50.640
What are you hoping Trump is going to address tonight?
01:23:18.220
I don't mean to cut you off, but we're going to lose time here.
01:23:29.820
Like entrepreneurs that can maybe help us out with online courses.
01:23:43.620
The head of our VA, the new head, isn't going to go down that road.
01:23:50.920
Right now, the average American is still finding it difficult to pay expenses every month.
01:23:54.540
In most cases, there's nothing left to cover any expenses.
01:23:57.820
Most aren't getting a big raise and expenses are up so high.
01:24:01.380
It can be very hard to manage without grabbing for the credit cards.
01:24:11.420
Take a few minutes, maybe 10 minutes today, and give a call to American Financing.
01:24:15.760
If you're constantly carrying credit card balances each and every month with an interest rate in the 20s or 30s,
01:24:21.380
you've got to call American Financing and have them show you how you can get your hard-earned equity into work to get you out of debt.
01:24:30.700
They're already saving people in this audience over $800 a month.
01:24:35.200
There are no upfront fees, so it costs you nothing to find out how much you could be saving every month.
01:24:40.100
Call American Financing at 800-906-2440 or go to AmericanFinancing.net.
01:24:48.800
In just a minute, we're going to take your phone calls.
01:24:50.720
Now is the time before I open this up to the radio national audience.
01:24:54.980
Let me just give it to the Blaze listeners first.
01:24:58.880
I'm going to take phone calls, 888-727-BECK, this hour.
01:25:46.420

let me start with tammy in georgia hello tammy welcome to the glenbeck program
01:29:17.740
hi glen um what i'd like donald trump to address is is something that carol roth is
01:29:24.640
and you were talking about with inflation um there are americans out there that they're rich
01:29:31.760
um there's americans out there that are middle class and you've got your poor um and somewhere in
01:29:39.100
between the the gold standard and the dollar going away there are going to be millions of americans who
01:29:47.560
are going to drop in the cracks yes and we're going to be left penniless because there's a lot of us
01:29:53.260
that have no savings because of what biden did i know and there's no way for us to invest in gold
01:30:01.840
i know i know so uh where do you live tammy where in georgia describe your town um it's a small town it's
01:30:10.620
it's called rock mart um it's growing but you know i'm 59 years old i'm blind and i'm a diabetic so
01:30:19.460
all of my money goes to my medical expenses right uh so uh tammy um you know i can't speak to your
01:30:31.120
particular case um but you you need to uh everybody needs to do this because i think we're all going
01:30:42.360
to be leveled at some point all of us i don't care how much money you have when money isn't worth
01:30:47.400
anything it doesn't matter how much you had really doesn't um it matters how you prepared and it doesn't
01:30:54.680
have to be gold you know what is more worth more than gold a good community of church going people
01:31:03.020
uh if you're in a community of church where people will help one another where where they won't allow
01:31:11.380
you to fall through the cracks that is really valuable because especially you you're blind you
01:31:19.780
are diabetic what are you going to do you have to have a community around you for people who aren't
01:31:27.700
blind um you if you're living in a small town like like she is tammy is you you need to plant a garden
01:31:35.640
i mean our parents are sorry our grandparents well if you're my age grandparents they survived the
01:31:41.700
great depression because they were independent they had a small garden that is the best thing you
01:31:48.540
can do if if you're you know somebody who you know is all excited about maha you you got to grow the
01:31:55.820
stuff yourself so you know what's healthy and what's not now you can do that because of health you can do
01:32:01.820
that because you should know where your food comes from just teach your kids how to farm have little
01:32:08.480
things um you know but if if you're not going to do that and you have the money then you should buy
01:32:16.140
some sort of food storage i know our church charges they have food storage you know capabilities and
01:32:22.360
they they charge less than you'd get from anything else but you know you got to make it into something
01:32:27.920
um you know the the flour and everything else and then you make it in to whatever it is you're
01:32:33.480
cooking but you can find those things that you can prepare again prepare yourself if you have
01:32:40.540
nothing prepare yourself spiritually and get into a strong faith community one that understands
01:32:49.080
we're all brothers and sisters and we're not going to leave anyone behind thanks tammy for your call
01:32:55.840
let me go to matt in pennsylvania hello matt how you doing today glenn sorry can you hear me all right
01:33:02.300
i'm a ups driver i'm like on the road and i the first time i've gotten in first of all
01:33:07.080
2006 i started listening to you oh geez he was going to give me a compliment now he's breaking
01:33:14.240
up that's not right no i could have said it i listened in 2006 and i've hated you ever since
01:33:18.600
that could have been coming are you there matt okay go ahead the eagles suck i hate you i love you
01:33:24.740
cut him off go ahead i think that uh that uh what we've given trump as a mandate by the american
01:33:33.280
people uh the gop has been so weak need on so many things that he needs to lay that out specifically
01:33:40.020
so we all voted for this we want the cut in the spending i know it's going to hurt i mean i'm 55
01:33:45.340
next month i've been at the same job for 36 years and i mean my wife and i are we paid for our kids
01:33:51.400
we've done the best we could to pay for our kids to do things but there's going to be pain we we have a
01:33:56.080
budget we live by a budget we don't buy the things that we can't afford and i first and ultimately i just
01:34:01.760
god bless you i appreciate what you do you give me to the day you pat uh sometimes stew loves
01:34:08.320
america yes it's hard it's hard to give him that i'm a little nerfed out i'm a little nerfed out
01:34:14.780
but distillers are a better team than eagles and that's interesting i have some information you
01:34:20.560
might want to consider over the past couple months more superbowls more superbowls too yeah you're
01:34:26.800
going back too far time to cut this guy off what is he talking about thank you so much i appreciate it
01:34:30.740
by the way he's from pennsylvania okay he's from pennsylvania uh-huh uh and can you just give
01:34:36.360
this read this to me i can't i don't have my glasses he can't read yeah it's a probably hand
01:34:41.020
me a little teeny you know uh rap go ahead what's there's breaking news jason breaking news joining us
01:34:47.080
by the way yeah sorry uh zelinski looks like he's doing a major backpedal uh as far as dealing with
01:34:53.160
trump and the united states and peace uh he just tweeted this on x where he's reiterating quote
01:35:00.520
ukraine's commitment to peace one of the most interesting things was is that he there's one
01:35:06.040
where it sounds like it's almost like an apology but not really an apology he wanted the meaning to
01:35:09.860
go better but he sounds like he's calling for a ceasefire and truce in the skies and in the sea
01:35:16.980
which is pretty huge because i haven't heard him even attempt to do that since what 2022 when he
01:35:24.160
actually wanted peace but the west stopped him isn't that what england was saying that they were
01:35:28.260
going to have peace in the skies and the sea recently yeah i think they said that i think starmer said
01:35:34.200
that um that was their their theme of that peace thing interesting sea change a little bit did he
01:35:41.020
apologize at all really you're not going to get trump you are going to have to make a public
01:35:47.820
apology i think he said it was regrettable that it happened this way yeah yeah yeah that's not an
01:35:52.220
apology that's not an apology yeah it's like i'm sorry if you took it that way i'm really sorry you
01:35:58.580
felt that it's a bit of a right right right right right it's a bit of a non-apology apology when he
01:36:03.340
says it happened that way that could be trump's fault right like it's regrettable that trump did this to
01:36:08.280
me right like it could mean a lot of different things by the way i mean that is the biggest lie
01:36:11.640
too we talked about this yesterday but i mean we just it's worth restating this is the guy's mo he
01:36:17.980
has done this to others he did it to joe biden remember when joe biden was like yeah show some
01:36:22.980
respect you whippersnapper he did the same thing to joe biden so this is his mo and he was and joe was
01:36:30.020
on his side yeah so if you pissed him off on this yeah i know but let's not downplay this is
01:36:34.400
significant this is the largest move towards any kind of peace deal we've had since this started
01:36:39.500
i mean that's good that's encouraging and it's actually kind of smart because he's saying and
01:36:44.160
i was thinking this back uh it's like several weeks ago that the the biggest thing he should do to
01:36:48.620
appease trump is to throw out the idea of a ceasefire and see if russia reciprocates if russia russia is
01:36:54.700
willing to reciprocate then this goes to the table and it's revealing if they say yeah yeah i will bet you
01:37:01.020
that uh um rubio is on the phone with his counterpart in russia right now absolutely because that would
01:37:09.740
be huge for the president to announce tonight absolutely and i want to announce a ceasefire
01:37:14.760
deal can you imagine that's huge they're gonna be working overtime on that one yeah i can guarantee
01:37:23.400
it let's pray um all right thank you very much for breaking in and just wrecking the flow of the show
01:37:27.620
and just come in with any tweets that you want anytime just walking even if you make them up
01:37:31.780
it's fine we have no idea of what he just brought in just tweeted this uh uh trudeau is on saying you
01:37:38.620
know uh america your government is doing this um you he donald trump has decided to risk your jobs
01:37:47.220
and chosen to harm your national security um i mean he's a smart guy but this is a dumb thing for
01:37:54.580
donald trump to do i mean it's trudeau is going to look good in his own country for this this is not
01:38:00.560
good i will say one of the big errors i think of this policy and you know of all the anti-canada
01:38:06.860
yeah uh stuff 51st state tariffs is it's you know trudeau's party was down by about 20 points
01:38:14.620
going into this election they now lead you've got to be kidding the entire i mean the the conservatives
01:38:20.380
had basically locked this thing up and had a cakewalk and because of this sort of nationalist
01:38:27.020
fervor that's been kicked up in canada in a response i don't know why he did this other than he
01:38:32.340
hates justin trudeau well and he loves these you know like he loves tariffs he's told you that i know
01:38:37.900
i know but but this was just a stupid move politically no i don't know he should have at least
01:38:42.260
waited until after they had an election yeah i mean it was just let he already hung himself
01:38:48.020
trudeau yeah and you know i wouldn't like it if well i don't like it when trudeau is lecturing us
01:38:53.640
on things don't don't tell me screw you yeah this is what i think about that you know i'm not a tariff
01:38:57.800
guy even hearing him talk about this makes me like screw you trudeau like that's why you're even
01:39:02.160
you could be for him and you're like oh yeah yeah well we're gonna double our double tariffs i'll tell
01:39:08.780
you that i mean you just go nuts yeah it doesn't it's not a good idea yeah all right back in just a
01:39:13.620
second uh sleeplessness can really be torture especially if you're sleepless in seattle
01:39:19.720
i don't even know what that anyway if you've ever been through it you know it ruins your whole next
01:39:25.800
day you know if you have sleep trouble on a regular basis you're pretty much guaranteed to
01:39:29.960
walk around feeling like a zombie most of the time and amazingly enough feeling like a zombie uh kind of
01:39:35.340
sucks so far that zombie feeling i haven't eaten anybody you know so i don't think i'm full zombie

01:40:46.220
democrat you really should show up are they really thinking that they won't show up to this that's
01:40:50.920
insane i think they probably will i mean remember you know one of his was this first one where he
01:40:56.500
was talking and then pelosi ripped up the speech in the background yeah uh i don't i don't know that
01:41:03.040
they've learned anything certainly but i don't know that that worked for them last time wasn't a great
01:41:07.660
strategy i don't know we have i think we have a couple of minutes let's play let's play uh cut one
01:41:12.380
this is from the new york times and they're they're they're they're terrified of the democrats
01:41:19.140
they're like okay guys we're more insane than you are but you're actually saying these things out loud
01:41:25.440
we've stopped saying them listen to this video from the new york times democrats your party leaders
01:41:31.260
have a foolproof plan to stop trump by boldly doubling down on everything that has never worked
01:41:37.620
before we will win we won't rest we won't rest and your fellow dems on social media are doing their
01:41:48.360
part congratulations maga you got played by donald trump again welcome to the resistance
01:41:57.540
trump is screwing over some of his own supporters i voted for president trump to make america first
01:42:07.180
again you didn't vote for trump eliminating federal funds no i did not vote for that in the campaign
01:42:12.860
they actually told us that he was not going to touch their documented people they used us these
01:42:18.960
regretful red hats i was a dumbass voted for trump are ripe for the taking i regret to support trump i'm
01:42:25.220
no longer rocking with trump so democrats seize the opportunity you didn't listen follow these
01:42:31.960
examples i hope that you get everything that you voted for stop so this is the new york times having
01:42:38.460
to produce something saying shut shut schumer up shut shut all of you lefties up shut up it's not gonna
01:42:47.920
work you should say hey i used to i voted for trump but i didn't vote for this this is the new york
01:42:56.920
time trying to teach the democrats no but they don't have any bias trying to trying to teach the
01:43:03.680
democrats how to win now i'll do that i'll do that but i'm not claiming to be a journalist to be mildly
01:43:13.800
fair to the new york times here that is an opinion yes so it is yeah you're right but still i you know
01:43:19.840
the it's probably written by all their news reporters right they're all like yeah and another
01:43:26.540
thing it's true though i mean this is what their perspective is right how do we heal how do we fix
01:43:31.500
this and it's amazing at least somebody over there is aware enough to understand because their news
01:43:36.820
coverage does not echo this this approach at all the news coverage looks exactly like all the other
01:43:40.780
news coverage calling him hitler 5 000 times a day uh so the the democrats are they going to show up
01:43:46.540
tonight i know 45 senate democrats uh killed the legislation aimed at preventing trans identifying
01:43:53.300
males from competing against female athletes that that's crazy 45 nobody stood up nobody nobody stood
01:44:02.620
up and said guys guys this is not that you say you're for women how is this you're taking scholarships
01:44:12.540
away from women who that was what they trained for their whole life to be able to get a scholarship
01:44:18.580
on this and you've just taken that away you're that's not that's not for women that you look at the women
01:44:24.400
who are being hurt because that's a dude nobody nobody's willing to really stand up and lead the way
01:44:34.500
on this with any kind of credibility with the democrats it appears to that peyton mcnab she's a 19 year
01:44:41.040
old who was left with a traumatic brain injury after uh a trans man right spiked a volleyball into her
01:44:48.800
head she's going to be there for a for tonight's speech as a special guest of president trump um so
01:44:55.140
that's a big you know what's amazing um the democrats only seem to care about women if they're killing
01:45:02.580
their baby or they're a sex worker if you're a sex worker hey you got it not bodies for sports no i'm
01:45:11.260
not going to protect your body if you want to play sports but if you want to be a sex worker i'm there
01:45:16.480
i'm there to give you legal protection that's insane really revealing moment at the oscars uh the other
01:45:22.760
night oh yeah oh yeah mikey madison who's the actress who won best actress for an aura it's a movie
01:45:27.980
about a sex worker and i guess i have not seen it but it's supposed to be like a uh you know sort of
01:45:32.680
like dramedy type of situation kind of kind of funny or whatever but like of course when she makes
01:45:38.340
the speech she she comes out and talks about how like it can't just be like hey we made an
01:45:43.920
entertaining movie with me having sex on screen for 45 consecutive minutes can't just be that it has
01:45:48.880
to be hey uh there's a real point behind this and the real point is that we have to make sex work
01:45:55.380
into real work let me let me let me let me quote i also just want to again recognize the and honor
01:46:01.100
the sex worker community i'll continue to support and be an ally all of the incredible people the women
01:46:07.340
that i had the privilege of meeting from that community has been one of the highlights of this
01:46:11.620
entire incredible experience so you love the sex workers which is so damaging to women so damaging
01:46:22.080

every democrat voted no on uh i have a i have a nine-year-old daughter who plays soccer
01:49:07.140

01:49:24.620
with with girls but it's a little different yeah it is a boy running down the field it is i i i am
01:49:31.680
shocked that the democrats are still holding on to this but they did and he is going to talk about it
01:49:37.240
tonight um and i hope he is hard on congress not just on the democrats but on the republicans
01:49:42.680
they have got to get their crap together and start moving it's 40 days in he has moved mountains
01:49:50.840
he's done stuff in 40 days that i haven't seen presidents doing an entire term but he has to
01:49:57.340
have congress and the republicans better get their crap together thanks for your call ron in missouri
01:50:03.640
hello ron hey glenn i would really like to hear less of the always overconfident uh donald trump as the
01:50:15.140
entertainer and the politician and the campaigner and more of a humble leader in the uh echo of
01:50:24.020
winston churchill i think this moment in our our our country needs the speech that all he's got to
01:50:32.120
offer us is blood sweat toil and tears and i think that has the real potential to unite people behind him
01:50:39.240
if he's frank that you know both parties for really all my lifetime have been digging this hole
01:50:46.680
and it's going to take a lot of work and a lot of sacrifice on all of our parts to get out of this
01:50:52.680
um not this you know pie in the sky i'm going to fix everything my first day golden golden age of
01:51:00.400
everything talk i think frank reality and humble uh call to action would be really helpful so can i
01:51:08.280
compromise with you here ron uh because uh i don't mind the president coming in and saying
01:51:13.840
you hired me to stop uh illegal immigration uh we're down to the lowest uh illegal immigration since
01:51:20.400
i think 1968 um we have done that and we're still doing more and we're deporting them um i have made
01:51:28.660
great progress on many things uh and line them out but then come to the economy i gotta be straight
01:51:36.040
with you on the economy this is going to be tough and i will work my butt off i will be there every
01:51:43.640
second of the day you've seen me i sleep three hours a day i will give you everything but i need congress
01:51:50.160
to do their part on this um but we're in this together would you would you be okay with that compromise
01:51:59.520
where he because he's going to be donald trump yeah no i don't i don't disagree with what you're
01:52:05.580
saying there and more than just on the economy i think he needs to have a call to action for rooting
01:52:11.080
out corruption yes um but i agree he's got to tout what he has done and the steps he is taking i've got
01:52:17.820
no problem with that just people need a realistic view that this isn't going to happen without pain
01:52:23.460
correct correct wrong thank you very much i'm glad to know you know that philip uh minnesota hello
01:52:28.720
philip hey glenn i'd like to see trump go old school glenn back from the fox days and just do some
01:52:36.920
straightforward powerpoints lists out here here's every there is everything the democrat party and
01:52:43.800
the biden regime did to get us to this situation here's everything i plan to do to counter that
01:52:49.160
call congress out say look i can't make congress act um but if they fail to act for the american
01:52:55.700
people come midterms you can ensure that they do by voting them out simple as that that's very good
01:53:01.520
thank you very much philip carl north carolina i'd love to hear um donald trump say something that no
01:53:09.620
president or congressman has ever said and that is that the people with a capital p highest office in
01:53:14.680
land dutiful remnant has the responsibility and the duty that's mentioned in the constitution
01:53:21.900
to enforce our constitution and that will accomplish at least as much as uh donald trump and and any other
01:53:30.580
politician have accomplished i agree i agree um that would be great for him to say i could see him
01:53:36.440
saying that maybe not tonight but i could see him saying that i've heard him say it is up to the people
01:53:41.240
um you know he can only do so much constitutionally it is really up to us um you know that that was one
01:53:49.260
of the things i hated on uh joe biden's first speech that he gave uh eight years ago the same night
01:53:56.740
he gave it and remember everybody was sitting like six feet apart and there were very few people there
01:54:03.060
and they were all wearing masks and he looked right at schumer and all the others and said we've come
01:54:08.960
through this because of you and he wasn't talking to the american people he was talking about the people
01:54:15.340
in the room he was talking about the politicians and he did that several times and it it made i mean
01:54:22.860
made the hair stand up on my my neck because i i'd never heard a president say it that way before
01:54:29.080
where you know oh it's up to you i've heard that a million times when he's talking about the people
01:54:35.080
but i'd like to hear a president and i know donald trump does believe this that it is up to you
01:54:41.700
and uh and really everything that's been done is in spite of the people for the most part that are
01:54:50.520
sitting there in congress or the senate uh thanks for your call let me take one more here it's uh
01:54:56.420
jake and iowa like actually i have more time i'll take a couple go ahead jake greetings from iowa glenn
01:55:01.600
hey two things i'd like to see mr president uh say tonight is as far as doge uncovering this fraud
01:55:07.820
and misuse of funds i would love for him to say that uh they're going to prosecute to the fullest
01:55:14.420
extent possible anybody who is caught funneling money and i'm i'm talking like a la elliot ness where
01:55:21.760
we use recore or some some obscure laws and just punish them because this is the taxpayer's money in it
01:55:27.740
we have to discourage this terrible behavior of the non-profits and what have you that's number one
01:55:34.140
number two i would like to hear him say that he's going to lift the social security cap uh right now
01:55:40.520
it's like at 168 000 or whatever once you earn more money than that year uh they don't collect
01:55:46.000
so they don't withhold social security from your check and i don't know why that limit was put in
01:55:50.960
there maybe maybe you have a reason for that yeah because you're not getting more than that out
01:55:55.340
everybody pays their fair share if you have to pay up to that if you make more um why are you taxed
01:56:03.400
uh so much more because this was supposed to be an insurance policy for people just like you
01:56:10.080
and so you know it's no it wasn't but i know what you're saying that yeah i know that i know that's
01:56:16.300
the outward theory but that was the outward theory and quite honestly as somebody who does hit that cap
01:56:21.840
yeah i don't like it i mean i don't i don't mind paying my fair share but you know what i pay a lot
01:56:32.460
in taxes and i pay a lot more than you know most people and i don't bitch and complain about it it is
01:56:40.800
something that is necessary i bitch and complain that they have wasted my money and quite honestly i am at
01:56:49.720
the point when i see doge it makes me want to say f you to the uh to the irs you're not getting another
01:56:58.820
damn dime for me you're stealing this money okay because i don't want to contribute to almost
01:57:05.680
anything that you're spending it on and no that's the way i really feel so uh you know i'm not for
01:57:13.860
higher taxes on anybody i would say anybody too uh i would love to hear him say we're repealing the
01:57:20.140
payroll tax full full-fledged gone i would love that that would be a great tax because to your point
01:57:27.380
first of all everybody feels that tax if you have a job secondly you know when you feel it it's
01:57:31.960
regressive yeah the only time you ever feel it is when you first start working every kid says the
01:57:37.840
same thing they're taking what yeah okay you lose that because you just get used to it that's why
01:57:45.140
you should repeal the payroll tax yep because no you should feel it because there would be a revolution
01:57:51.200
in this country absolute revolution uh let me go to uh mike hello mike hey how you doing great i would
01:58:01.640
love to hear donald trump say russia and the united states are going to engage in another round of
01:58:08.620
nuclear disarmament and we're going to use some of that savings from the deep state to rebuild our
01:58:15.900
highways our bridges our electric grid system and do what eisenhower did so i think you're going to
01:58:23.960
actually get some of that i think donald trump does want to have that conversation with um with china
01:58:30.140
and russia and the rest of the world about reduction of our nukes he really does not like them he knows
01:58:36.720
what they really are um and we are going to get our grid rebuilt uh it has to happen because of ai we
01:58:44.180
have to have a new grid how long will that take i don't know but i think that will begin um under
01:58:52.540
donald trump one more thing on the the last call when he says i you know the last call said i i really
01:58:57.680
want to hear the president say i'm going after these people the problem with that is there's been
01:59:03.640
two i think missteps and they've happened in the last week there's been two missteps and only two by
01:59:11.200
this uh presidency the first one was last week and i don't believe it was zelinski the first one was
01:59:18.480
with the doj with pam bondy and the release or the non-release of epstein that was the first time i
01:59:25.860
thought oh wow maybe they're not serious then they came out last night and said there's a truckload
01:59:32.320
of files that were on its way by that deadline friday okay well is that a truckload like you
01:59:41.760
ever see you know on you watch some you know law show and they're like yeah they just filled the
01:59:47.160
conference room with boxes of papers just to stall and keep you busy looking in a needle in a haystack
01:59:53.080
is that what that is so he's he's because of that misstep last week they have hurt themselves
02:00:01.500
on being able to say and we're going to punish the bad guys the the um the other misstep is what's
02:00:10.240
happening right now with the tariffs the economy is going down and we've got real problems and it's
02:00:17.140
not because of donald trump he's got to focus not on canada and responding to canada on tariffs
02:00:24.480
he should be saying tonight and that should be the only thing that he has to worry about congress
02:00:30.940
stop spending give me pass the first budget this is so amazing i have to say this and i can't believe
02:00:39.760
it's true every time you do say this pass the first federal budget since 2008 pass a budget that i can
02:00:50.780
sign and cut your damn spending period all right back in just a minute so i was watching victor um
02:01:02.400
yesterday he's my german shepherd um or not sorry victor i was thinking my last dog um
02:01:10.440
because he's so much like victor uno um five years ago i saw uno uh turn back time he went back to
02:01:21.360
being a puppy again and he did it i think because of rough greens he never ran to his bowl ever never
02:01:28.920
um and and he would he was like running around the house playing he was like a puppy again and he
02:01:36.500
would run he still runs to his bowl when i put rough greens in i mean well he maybe a determined
02:01:45.840
but he's getting to the age now he's already older than any of my other german shepherds
02:01:53.020
and i thought i was going to lose him last summer and uh i hope i'm wrong like i was last summer but
02:02:01.600
i might lose him this summer and uh he'll be the last german shepherd that we have
02:02:08.320
and they follow you around they're never more than five feet away from you
02:02:13.420
they are so loyal they're so good and i just want to take a second and say thank you rough greens for
02:02:21.620

02:02:55.660
i gotta read this tweet that just came out from vladimir uh lewinski
02:03:13.040
or lewinski zielinski uh wow under the desk with president trump i guess anyway uh he said i would
02:03:21.180
like to reiterate ukraine's commitment to peace none of us wants an endless war ukraine is ready
02:03:27.300
to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer nobody
02:03:32.980
wants peace more than ukrainians my team and i stand ready to work under president trump's strong
02:03:38.060
leadership to get that peace that lasts we're ready to work fast and end the war at the end the first
02:03:44.400
stages could be the release of prisoners and a truce in the sky and to ban missiles long-range drones
02:03:50.440
bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure and the truce in the sea immediately if russia will
02:03:56.040
do the same then we want to move very fast through all the next stages to work with the u.s to agree
02:04:01.240
to a strong final deal we do really value how much america has done to help ukraine maintain its
02:04:08.540
sovereignty and independence we do remember the moment when things changed for us when president trump
02:04:14.260
provided ukraine with javelins and we are grateful for this our meeting in washington at the white house
02:04:20.260
on friday did not go the way it was supposed to go it's regrettable that it happened this way it's time
02:04:26.040
to make things right we would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive
02:04:31.480
regarding the agreement on minerals and security ukraine is ready to sign it to sign it at any time
02:04:40.580
and in any convenient format we see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security
02:04:47.360
guarantees and i hope it will work effectively donald trump should do this even if ukraine
02:04:53.960
only has a fax machine should get that agreement signed before tonight interesting he still wrote he
02:05:01.580
still said security guarantees which was kind of what started the we see this agreement as a step
02:05:06.320
towards greater security step towards though which is which is which is good i mean it's that was what
02:05:12.560
it was supposed to be just a step toward something potentially in the future and i do think you know
02:05:16.960
just having americans there or american interest in the country does help their guaranteed security
02:05:22.640
that's what donald trump has been saying to him i agree agree so anyway all right we will see you
02:05:27.960
tonight 6 30 uh central time 7 30 eastern time only on blaze tv.com slash glenn sign up we'll see you
