00:01:50.320 A big part of it.

00:02:01.280 Now let's get to work.

00:02:02.220 We'll be right back.

00:02:32.220 Glenn Beck is on.

00:02:34.660 Na, na, na, na, na.

00:02:37.220 Oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:02:39.740 Na, na, na, na, na, na.

00:02:44.180 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:02:51.320 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:55.220 Glenn Beck is on.

00:02:56.500 Hello, America.

00:02:59.980 Gee, is there anything going on?

00:03:01.600 I can't think of anything.

00:03:02.900 And by the way, if you happen to be watching on the torch, Canada, I'm not trying to rub it in.

00:03:09.420 I'm just saying.

00:03:10.760 We're going to talk about hockey coming up in just, well, I can't wait.

00:03:15.920 Let's put it that way.

00:03:17.020 We'll talk about that coming up in just a little while.

00:03:19.060 But first, I think maybe we should probably talk about what's happening in Mexico, what's happening with Iran, the Mar-a-Lago shooter.

00:03:28.020 It was 20 minutes into our meeting today when I finally said, okay, let's get to the Mar-a-Lago shooter.

00:03:33.200 I mean, that's how normal that has become now.

00:03:36.540 And that's how big everything else in the news is.

00:03:39.860 I heard that yesterday, and I thought, well, that's the thing we're going to be talking about tomorrow.

00:03:44.360 No, I'll squeeze that in if we can because of all the other big news and State of the Union is tomorrow.

00:03:50.800 What does the president have to do with the State of the Union?

00:03:53.400 Oh, and by the way, New York City is getting up to two feet of snow.

00:03:58.380 That's what they're expecting today, up to two feet of snow.

00:04:02.360 Well, the good news is, New York City, you have the mayor that is going to be able to take care of that for you.

00:04:08.800 Oh, my gosh.

00:04:09.800 The snow cleanup in New York is going to be so easy.

00:04:14.120 By the way, did you see AOC over the weekend talking about snow in New York?

00:04:18.380 And she said, I can't believe I have to explain this to so many of you who watch me, but I keep getting these things.

00:04:27.500 The snow isn't even cleaned up from last time.

00:04:31.420 She said, you know, snow doesn't melt at 28 degrees.

00:04:37.220 She had to explain to her audience the physics of snow meltage.

00:04:46.120 Oh, we're doomed.

00:04:50.380 We're doomed if these people take over the world.

00:04:53.420 All right, let's begin with Mexico in 60 seconds.

00:04:56.780 First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.

00:04:59.060 If you live in a free country, you know, one thing you can count on is that someone somewhere is working overtime to chip away at that freedom.

00:05:07.440 That is the price of liberty.

00:05:08.960 It has to be defended.

00:05:10.000 It has to be argued for.

00:05:11.180 It has to be fought for, you know, in a thousand little ways every single day.

00:05:16.120 What you don't expect is that you might be financing the other side without even noticing it.

00:05:20.380 You pay your phone bill every month, but behind the scenes, a portion of that money can be funneled into causes and organizations that stand in direct opposition to the values that you hold.

00:05:29.940 The rights you cherish.

00:05:31.700 You know, the country you want to leave to your kids.

00:05:34.180 That's the part that really hurts.

00:05:36.320 Patriot Mobile was built to fix that problem.

00:05:38.860 The same nationwide coverage that you get on all of the big guys, plus competitive pricing, real customer service.

00:05:46.700 And the fundamental difference is they support the First and Second Amendments.

00:05:50.480 They, you know, they support all of the amendments.

00:05:52.820 Sanctity of life, our veterans, our cops, the principles this country was founded on.

00:05:57.920 So go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT.

00:06:01.740 Use the promo code Beck.

00:06:10.080 Yes, I am.

00:06:11.540 Okay.

00:06:12.880 Woo.

00:06:15.360 Good news.

00:06:17.100 It's not like it's spring vacation week.

00:06:20.240 Oops.

00:06:21.120 It is.

00:06:22.920 My daughter actually called me last night and said, dad, I think I want to go to Mexico.

00:06:26.420 I said, are you joking?

00:06:28.600 She said, what do you mean?

00:06:29.520 And I said, have you seen what's happening in Mexico?

00:06:31.560 This is late last night.

00:06:32.400 She's like, yeah, but that's going to blow. 0.88

00:06:33.820 I'm like, no, you're not going to Mexico.

00:06:35.540 In fact, after that comment, I don't think you're going to leave the house.

00:06:38.980 I don't, I don't think I'll let you go out of the house today.

00:06:42.520 What do you mean you're going to Mexico?

00:06:43.740 You're not going to Mexico. 0.97

00:06:46.540 Mexico is a failed narco state period. 0.95

00:06:49.900 Now, what happened?

00:06:52.420 If you happen to watch a podcast that I did, Ricky, how long ago?

00:06:56.960 Six months ago?

00:06:58.040 Last April.

00:06:58.820 I love your timeline though.

00:07:00.700 Last April.

00:07:03.160 I have no sense of time anymore.

00:07:05.040 Anyway, Brandon Darby was on and he is a guy who has been undercover and been all throughout the narco state in Mexico.

00:07:16.640 And we spoke specifically, uh, about this particular, uh, this particular, uh, cartel and henchmen that they just killed El Mencho.

00:07:30.280 Also, this guy is really, really dark and very different.

00:07:35.820 He didn't inherit the power.

00:07:37.300 He engineered the power.

00:07:38.460 He was a local police officer in Mexico for a while.

00:07:42.200 Um, and, uh, he learned the system and he learned all of the weak points.

00:07:47.520 And then he turned around and used that knowledge, not to defend the state, but to hollow it out.

00:07:56.080 The, the chaos that happened from the older cartels splintering and failing, he came in and he built something new, something faster, something younger, and something far more aggressive.

00:08:08.640 It's called the Jalisco new generation cartel, CJ and G. 0.99

00:08:15.480 If you think of, you know, drug cartels and you think of them as drug traffickers, you know, with pickup trucks and rifles, you're thinking, oh, so 1995, this is incredibly different.

00:08:27.360 This is a paramilitary organization.

00:08:30.200 I mean, look at what they're doing right now.

00:08:32.900 They're setting planes on fire.

00:08:34.840 They've shot a helicopter out of the sky.

00:08:37.020 Um, they're just setting port of Iarta is on fire today and it's happening all over Mexico.

00:08:45.120 They have armored vehicles.

00:08:46.820 They have military grade, military grade weapons, rocket propelled, uh, grenades, drones that can drop explosives.

00:08:55.180 It's bad in 2015.

00:08:57.460 I think they shot down their first military helicopter from Mexico.

00:09:01.900 Let that sink in.

00:09:03.200 That's not gang violence.

00:09:04.620 That's an insurgency.

00:09:06.120 And that was 2016 and they're still standing and they expanded into most Mexican states.

00:09:14.000 They have a distribution networks network all across Mexico and here in the United States, all 50 states.

00:09:22.680 They aren't there.

00:09:23.840 They're not just border towns.

00:09:25.200 It's Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York, and this isn't theoretical, uh, reach.

00:09:31.780 This is logistical.

00:09:33.080 They have warehouses, couriers, front businesses, money laundering pipelines, and they are the most brutal of the brutal.

00:09:41.560 So in Mexico, there are mass graves, public hangings from overpasses, entire towns terrorized into silence.

00:09:51.120 Now, when we had Brandon Darby on, he talked about how efficient they are because terror is very, very efficient.

00:10:03.000 That's why they're so violent.

00:10:04.120 When he was on with us, uh, he talked about, uh, they're protected, they're protected by the, uh, the head of their military, Mexican military, kind of their, uh, Pete Hegseth.

00:10:21.640 If, well, wait a minute, if they're protected, how did this happen?

00:10:26.640 Well, apparently the news is the president didn't tell the secretary of defense, their president didn't tell the secretary of defense.

00:10:36.260 This is, this is a country in chaos.

00:10:40.480 Okay.

00:10:41.600 And if you look, I'm just looking, you know, they're setting everything on fire in Mexico. 0.99

00:10:48.480 And that's because, like I said, terror is efficient.

00:10:51.340 You make one horrifying example.

00:10:53.240 If you make it horrifying enough, you don't have to fight, you know, 10 battles later.

00:10:59.720 So when, uh, Brandon was on, he also talked to me about the rumors that they are part of the Santa Merte, a cult.

00:11:10.860 This is, you know, some say a devil worship thing.

00:11:15.260 Um, and in, in this particular cartel, shrines, rituals, um, all of this stuff that, of, of this folk religion, um, I don't know if it's devil worship.

00:11:30.800 I mean, it seems like it.

00:11:32.060 I mean, they say there's no credible evidence of it, that this is some theological cult.

00:11:36.220 I, I, I, here is what's true.

00:11:40.060 This group normalizes and celebrates death and violence.

00:11:45.340 And when you wrap murder in symbols of inevitability, you're creating something spiritually rotten to the core.

00:11:55.120 I don't know if you need horns or candles for any of that, but you're celebrating death.

00:12:00.020 All you need is an indifference to human life.

00:12:03.900 This is another death cult.

00:12:05.780 I want you just to look at the patterns that we have here.

00:12:08.760 You have the pattern of the death cult up in Canada.

00:12:11.940 Now they're, now they're saying you don't even need a parent's position, uh, uh, permission to kill the child.

00:12:18.040 Um, you know, that's in made. 0.99

00:12:20.500 We have this death cult here in America, this, you know, shouting, you know, death to all Jews. 0.95

00:12:26.680 Um, we have a death cult that is taken a hold. 0.95

00:12:31.160 Honestly, I'm sorry if you voted Democrat.

00:12:33.880 Um, but it's true.

00:12:35.300 Your party has been taken over by a death cult.

00:12:38.600 I mean, how do you explain what's happening on the streets?

00:12:41.520 Um, you know, and I'm going to get into that here in just a second.

00:12:44.640 Tied to this.

00:12:47.260 Um, you have the death cult of the cartels.

00:12:49.640 You have the death cult, uh, in the middle East, you have the death cult of, you know, uh, 1.00

00:12:56.420 Islamism to death cult, which are you for life or death? 0.97

00:13:02.620 This is a death cult. 0.97

00:13:04.060 And they are, they are setting Mexico on fire reports of a major security operation, uh,

00:13:11.140 that was targeting the cartel leadership, uh, immediately triggered all this retaliation.

00:13:18.420 They had highway blockades.

00:13:20.680 They set vehicles on fire.

00:13:22.740 Uh, they set a plane on fire, uh, shut down the airport, coordinated disruptions.

00:13:29.540 I mean, all to show all to show the same thing.

00:13:32.940 You think you hit the, you think you hit the head?

00:13:35.320 Well, you might've hit the head, but the body's still alive and the body is thrashing.

00:13:39.640 This is what happens when a criminal organization embeds itself into the economic bloodstream,

00:13:46.200 a bloodstream of a country. 0.89

00:13:47.720 This country, Mexico is a failed narco state. 0.98

00:13:51.960 You need to understand that it's not a friend to the United States. 0.98

00:13:56.980 It is a narco state. 0.96

00:13:59.180 And by arresting a lot of these people, and then come going in and killing these people,

00:14:06.600 you've destabilized an entire ecosystem.

00:14:11.980 Okay.

00:14:12.800 And power vacuums are really, really dangerous.

00:14:18.400 When a dominant cartel leader is weakened or disappears or is killed, the rivals move,

00:14:25.780 the factions fracture, violence spikes before it's settled.

00:14:30.640 Okay.

00:14:31.880 This is why you don't want your kids traveling anywhere.

00:14:34.820 No Americans should be in Mexico. 1.00

00:14:36.920 Get on a plane and come back. 0.97

00:14:39.080 Whoever, you know, that's in Mexico.

00:14:41.020 Tell them that get out of there. 0.85

00:14:44.420 Now.

00:14:47.340 The instability that is happening, you can see it.

00:14:51.380 Tourist zones are, I mean, the cartels are sending a message

00:14:55.020 to the government and to our government as well.

00:14:58.620 The violence is not aimed at tourists, but nobody is checking passports right now.

00:15:05.800 So the thing that you need to be aware of, and here's our first stop on the train of

00:15:12.080 SCOTUS, or I mean, POTUS yesterday with the State of the Union.

00:15:16.960 What is he going to say?

00:15:18.720 What does he need to say?

00:15:19.740 Here's your first stop.

00:15:20.660 The Democrats have defunded the Department of Homeland Security.

00:15:29.320 This cartel has a distribution network in all 50 states.

00:15:33.980 They're not battalions marching down Main Street, but they're cells, they're facilitators,

00:15:38.640 they're traffickers, they're associates, they're believers.

00:15:41.380 And this is a death cult.

00:15:45.400 Federal, uh, the federal government estimates that the cartel's membership in Mexico is in

00:15:51.500 the tens of thousands and thousands of connected operatives and distributors here in the United

00:15:58.460 States.

00:15:58.880 This is not a border problem anymore.

00:16:01.120 Thank you, Joe Biden.

00:16:02.520 Thank you for all of those who are saying, we don't get rid of anybody who's coming across.

00:16:06.840 There is no such thing as a border.

00:16:08.620 Well, you're going to wish there was a border soon.

00:16:12.520 This is a supply chain problem.

00:16:14.660 This is a demand problem, a corruption problem, a sovereignty problem.

00:16:18.740 Okay.

00:16:19.540 And cartels, how do they thrive?

00:16:22.980 How does a cartel thrive?

00:16:25.120 A cartel thrives.

00:16:26.720 A cartel establishes itself and gets legs underneath it.

00:16:30.700 When institutions weaken, they thrive where corruption is tolerated.

00:16:40.480 They thrive in places where citizens lose trust.

00:16:46.200 They thrive when violence becomes background noise.

00:16:51.620 Does that sound familiar to any place in America?

00:16:55.300 El Mencho, he built his empire, not with just with guns, but with the understanding that fear

00:17:04.740 spreads faster than reform.

00:17:07.300 So the question should not be, who is this guy?

00:17:11.800 The question is, what system in Mexico allowed him to rise?

00:17:17.120 And do we have that same system here now?

00:17:21.580 What are we doing to fix those systems?

00:17:24.360 Or are we just arguing about hashtags?

00:17:26.740 While the next version of this guy studies the same weakness in us.

00:17:31.600 You remove a tyrant and you have a few minutes to celebrate.

00:17:35.180 But if you remove the conditions that created that tyrant, you change the future.

00:17:42.660 If we don't do the second thing, the first is going to be a recurring headline.

00:17:47.480 And we're in deep trouble.

00:17:49.580 More in just a second.

00:17:50.800 Stand by.

00:17:51.380 First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

00:17:53.500 It's Rapid Radios.

00:17:55.020 If you had to coordinate something really important in the next 60 seconds, how confident that

00:17:59.400 your current tools would slow you down.

00:18:02.160 I mean, really think about it.

00:18:03.380 If you needed to reach your family across a crowded event, your team across a work site,

00:18:08.660 even if it crosses state lines, your neighbors during an emergency, would it be instant and

00:18:14.000 clear or would you be staring at a screen waiting for a bar to appear, a call to connect,

00:18:18.940 or a message to finally go through?

00:18:21.000 We've all gotten used to those annoying little delays in our communication.

00:18:24.980 But in moments that actually matter, annoying turns into unacceptable.

00:18:30.780 Rapid Radios are built for those moments.

00:18:32.520 They're not complex to set it up.

00:20:09.120 So, Jason, what have I missed on the Mexican story here?

00:20:16.840 I think you got pretty much all of it there.

00:20:20.140 I think that it's very important, and a lot of the insiders are talking about how not knowing

00:20:25.080 whether they can trust the president of Mexico, not knowing whether they can trust the government

00:20:28.400 of Mexico.

00:20:30.160 I remember I was just looking through Glenn AI right now.

00:20:32.740 We did a story or a show back in 2024 where you highlighted a Department of Justice indictment

00:20:41.000 against the head of Mexico's FBI.

00:20:44.580 He was actually sent down.

00:20:46.200 This was like around, I don't know, like around 2023.

00:20:48.700 He was sent down to take care of it, say, okay, I'm establishing authority.

00:20:52.840 I'm going to take care of this.

00:20:53.940 We're going to end this cartel problem.

00:20:55.660 Well, the problem is later they found out that he was actually taking bribes from the

00:20:58.920 Sinaloa cartel.

00:21:00.280 He was in on it.

00:21:01.100 So, it seems like whack-a-mole over there, and you don't know who in their government.

00:21:06.000 I mean, how do you have a full-on fortified compound in this day and age with advanced

00:21:12.980 military weaponry for these cartels, and the officials in Mexico know nothing about it?

00:21:18.820 It makes absolutely zero sense.

00:21:20.740 Yeah, they know exactly.

00:21:22.020 Did you hear the audio tape that I sent you last night?

00:21:26.060 I said, we can't play it today because of the language.

00:21:31.100 Well, it's in Spanish.

00:21:32.040 No, it's not only in Spanish, but he uses the F word like every three words, and it's 0.50

00:21:36.180 this guy on the phone with the government and the police saying, what are you doing?

00:21:42.620 What are you doing?

00:21:43.420 You're all on my payroll.

00:21:45.260 Back up. 1.00

00:21:46.340 Knock this off, or I'll kill you myself. 1.00

00:21:49.440 I mean, the arrogance of this guy. 1.00

00:21:52.400 Now, this is not from this particular time.

00:21:54.780 This is from another time when they were trying to come in, and the police backed off, and

00:21:59.680 you would not believe.

00:22:00.460 They were calling him, yes, sir, yes, sir.

00:22:02.280 By the end, the police were saying, yes, sir, yes, sir.

00:22:06.500 Does this remind you of the dynamic in some of our American cities between violent insurgents

00:22:14.180 and directionists and how they intimidate our own police forces?

00:22:16.740 Oh, yeah.

00:22:17.600 I mean, look at the no-go zones in Mexico now, and look at our no-go zones.

00:22:24.020 I mean, you have Seattle, Portland, Chicago, no-go zones, Los Angeles.

00:22:30.720 New York's going to be a nightmare soon, an absolute nightmare.

00:22:36.520 And Trump has given the way to fix it, but are they going to?

00:22:42.860 I doubt it.

00:22:43.740 I mean, look what he did to Washington, D.C.

00:22:46.800 I mean, he cleaned that thing up pretty quickly.

00:22:50.260 Jason, is this group tied in at all to Hezbollah?

00:22:55.220 Do we know?

00:22:57.420 Not directly, no.

00:23:00.440 There could be indirect overlapping funding or use of routes, and I would not doubt to see

00:23:08.180 that at all.

00:23:09.140 And that gets really, really scary when you realize a lot of these people that are coming

00:23:13.620 across the border, the cartels own the border.

00:23:16.040 They're the ones that take people across.

00:23:17.740 So if there are overlaps, they're the ones that could easily send them across, whether

00:23:21.500 that be terrorists, cartel members.

00:23:23.600 And we just had four years of the Biden administration saying, let them in, let them go.

00:23:28.660 We have thousands of these cartel members doing work in our cities here in America, and maybe

00:23:36.700 as many as 10,000 Hezbollah members.

00:23:39.220 More in just a minute.

00:23:40.560 All right.

00:25:02.420 Brandon Darby is joining us.

00:25:19.080 He is the editor-in-chief for Breitbart, Texas.

00:25:22.460 He is also a Breitbart Cartel Chronicle co-founder and director.

00:25:26.480 He was on with me in, um, April and in April we talked about this particular cartel and the

00:25:35.480 head.

00:25:35.820 And he said, the United States isn't serious unless we get this guy, but this guy is protected

00:25:42.860 by their, um, the Mexican secretary of defense.

00:25:47.480 Well, apparently that has changed.

00:25:52.820 So we wanted to bring Brandon on.

00:25:54.800 First of all, Brandon, you've been reporting on this for years and years, if not decades.

00:25:59.680 Um, did you ever think this day would come?

00:26:03.500 No.

00:26:04.140 And, uh, Glenn, thank you for having me on.

00:26:06.440 Uh, good morning to you and your listeners.

00:26:08.940 I am super excited.

00:26:10.960 I did not expect this.

00:26:13.060 Um, I believed, uh, the Trump administration when they were warning Mexico, they said basically,

00:26:20.400 Hey, you're going to get this guy.

00:26:22.300 You're going to take this seriously, or we're going to take it seriously without your, without

00:26:26.920 your consent.

00:26:28.260 And, um, I thought that that's probably what would end up happening.

00:26:32.060 And I did not expect Mexico to, to play ball and actually help. 1.00

00:26:37.900 No.

00:26:39.560 So why, what do you think the president said to the, because I don't think the president

00:26:44.180 of Mexico is a fan of America, um, and certainly not a fan of Donald Trump's what, what did,

00:26:51.080 what did he say?

00:26:52.280 Do you think that got them to act on this?

00:26:54.820 Cause this is a really big deal.

00:26:57.480 Right.

00:26:57.960 Uh, so I, I think my, my, my best estimation at this point of what happened was that the

00:27:06.180 Mexican president, uh, Gloria Scheinbaum knew, uh, about this, but that the rest of her cabinet

00:27:13.120 did not.

00:27:13.820 I know that roughly, uh, was it probably February 15th or so, uh, maybe seals began to train a

00:27:22.000 group within the Mexican army, Sabina, um, for a specific training that no one, it was

00:27:29.380 obscure.

00:27:29.900 No one knew what it was about.

00:27:31.460 Well, it turns out this is what it was about.

00:27:34.180 Um, so I know that those Mexican military folks were sequestered.

00:27:39.160 So their phones or any mechanism they had to communicate with the outside world was taken

00:27:44.140 from them.

00:27:44.700 Um, and they did this operation, uh, the Mexican government does operation.

00:27:50.700 So I think that, uh, we, you know, it's very well documented, uh, the current secretary of

00:27:56.140 defense, uh, for Mexico, uh, being, you know, heavily connected with, with El Mencho.

00:28:03.200 Uh, so obviously, you know, they didn't know.

00:28:07.200 Um, so it was kept very secret.

00:28:08.980 But there is a possibility that this was done, you know, without the approval of the Mexican

00:28:15.120 president, but, but she is kind of running a victory lap so far. 1.00

00:28:19.160 So I don't think that's the case.

00:28:21.340 I think, I think it really is a situation.

00:28:24.020 You know, if we, if we look at the history, every time the U S has found El Mencho and tried

00:28:29.800 to work with counterparts in Mexico to get him, El Mencho was tipped off and was told, Hey,

00:28:36.380 they're about to get you.

00:28:37.420 So he would be missing or he would be gone.

00:28:40.000 Um, and this time that did not happen this time, uh, it was kept, kept close to the chest

00:28:46.940 and, and, um, they were able to pull it off and now he's gone.

00:28:51.780 I, I questioned the narrative that, that El Mencho and two others were, you know, injured

00:28:57.880 and then were being flown to Mexico city and, and they all happened to die on the, the helicopter

00:29:04.300 ride, the Mexico city, right?

00:29:05.800 And like, I, I questioned that narrative.

00:29:07.540 I think that he was probably going to die.

00:29:10.940 You know, he was probably killed.

00:29:12.900 Uh, they probably decided like, Hey, if, if we let this guy, you know, in our system, he's,

00:29:18.720 he is so connected that he's going to get out. 0.96

00:29:21.080 He's going to be able to get out and kill our families. 0.99

00:29:23.660 So I think they killed him. 1.00

00:29:25.340 That's the most likely scenario.

00:29:27.640 And, uh, and now we are in a very different stage.

00:29:32.260 As I've said before, um, if, if someone this powerful, the top of the top, uh, can be taken

00:29:40.280 out.

00:29:40.940 It tells everyone in Mexico who's involved in cartels that they can also be gotten and that

00:29:49.140 they better keep it in check or they might be.

00:29:51.720 What does it mean for the president of Mexico?

00:29:56.040 Because she could have done this herself long ago.

00:29:58.620 This obviously is, she's kowtowing to Donald Trump or not.

00:30:03.680 Absolutely.

00:30:04.000 Well, so if you look at, if you look at the, the, you know, the social media statements of,

00:30:11.100 of Mexico's leading politicians and Mexico's leading journalists, um, you know, they're

00:30:18.240 doing everything they can to take credit away from Trump and the Trump administration and

00:30:23.640 the Trump administration's approach.

00:30:25.180 They're saying that this was, um, you know, another person in the administration who pushed

00:30:31.220 this Trump had nothing to do with it, but that's not true.

00:30:33.780 What, what, what happened is that let's let them believe that's true.

00:30:38.820 Yes.

00:30:39.380 Whatever they want to say.

00:30:40.880 And I don't understand.

00:30:42.680 I'm going to be honest with you.

00:30:43.700 It's very difficult for me to understand the liberal mind, even though once when I was younger,

00:30:49.000 I was one of them.

00:30:50.080 I sometimes I, they still just blow my mind with the, the way it blows my mind, right?

00:30:58.400 The logic sometimes blows my mind, but the mental gymnastics, okay.

00:31:01.640 The gymnastics blows my mind that we, you know, folks like you and I try to, and our movement

00:31:07.300 holds us accountable to be intellectually consistent, right?

00:31:11.680 That's okay.

00:31:12.580 They, they do it differently.

00:31:13.920 That's fine.

00:31:15.040 Um, that's their business.

00:31:16.240 But, um, you know, what happened here is that Trump began to hit narco boats, showing

00:31:22.540 that he was willing to do things that had not been done prior.

00:31:25.620 Trump took out Maduro, Trump took, I mean, he went down the line and, and, you know, Pete

00:31:31.220 Hegseth and others in the administration openly warned Mexico that you will either help do

00:31:37.380 this or we will do it unilaterally because it affects our country.

00:31:41.600 Um, what Mexico began to do was to hand us, you know, to, they started to crack down on cartels

00:31:49.280 as a whole, and they started to hand us significant figures, um, who we wanted.

00:31:54.660 However, if you looked at it, the vast majority of them up until about a month ago, maybe two

00:32:00.460 months ago, were all of the, uh, all of the opposition and all of the competition to cartel

00:32:06.800 Jalisco and El Mencho.

00:32:07.880 So, so in an effort to appease us and look like they were taking it seriously, they were

00:32:12.780 actually still helping El Mencho.

00:32:14.700 They were protecting him and they were taking out his adversaries as proof that they were

00:32:19.580 serious about cartels.

00:32:21.200 And a couple of months ago, we started to see them going after cartel Jalisco.

00:32:26.960 They took his number three guy, they, and they gave him to the U S quickly because the last 0.62

00:32:32.340 time he was arrested, he was let go, right?

00:32:34.420 Immediately a judge let him go.

00:32:36.840 And, um, uh, so what happened was that they realized that you're either going to do this

00:32:43.280 and help us or, or the U S is going to do it alone.

00:32:46.140 And the political fallout will be horrible for you.

00:32:48.860 If the U S takes unilateral military action in their country and they decided to play ball

00:32:54.700 and to actually roll the dice and go for it.

00:32:58.020 And that's what they've done.

00:33:01.260 What is the fallout for us here in America?

00:33:04.420 Does they have operatives all over the United States all over?

00:33:10.060 Um, well, I, I think that what we have to look at is we have to go back historically, um, to

00:33:17.580 what's happened with other cartels, right?

00:33:19.540 Even though the other cartels did not have the level of power and influence that El Mencho

00:33:24.260 had.

00:33:24.740 Um, but what happens is you have like the Gulf cartel who operates, uh, South of Texas

00:33:30.800 along the, you know, the, the Gulf of America, I call it.

00:33:35.500 Some people say Gulf of Mexico still they're antiquated, but I say Gulf of America.

00:33:40.120 Um, you know, that, that cartel had, had centralized power of Mexico central government.

00:33:47.040 They had state power, all types of power. 0.91

00:33:50.020 Uh, we began to decapitate them and decapitate them every time a leader popped his head up.

00:33:55.760 And what you've been, you're left with is 10 to 15, you know, glorified gangbanger units 0.90

00:34:02.200 who really have no, they no longer have central power over the central government of Mexico.

00:34:07.800 They no longer really even have power over the state that they live in, Tamaulipas in Mexico.

00:34:13.820 They just have county power and little, they're, they're glorified gangs and they still call

00:34:18.940 themselves the Gulf cartel, but they're so weakened at this point, um, that, that, uh,

00:34:25.600 they really don't have the type of power they've had historically.

00:34:29.060 And that's, what's probably going to happen here.

00:34:31.180 Uh, there's going to be a lot of, an uptick in violence, which liberals will blame on Trump,

00:34:36.500 even though they're not crediting him with taking out the guy, right?

00:34:40.260 That's what I meant by mental gymnastics.

00:34:42.180 They'll blame the violence on Trump, um, and on, on the United States, but there will

00:34:47.460 be an uptick in violence as four or five different groups fight for power and fight for control.

00:34:52.620 Uh, they'll become factionalized and then, uh, we'll take out the heads of those groups

00:34:58.800 and then they'll become even, you know, even more fractionalized, fractional and factionalized.

00:35:04.840 And ultimately they'll have no, they'll no longer have central power over Mexico's, uh, government

00:35:11.140 and, uh, they'll no longer have that.

00:35:13.520 They'll have regional power and then we'll take them out. 0.77

00:35:15.900 And then the next thing you know, they'll, they'll be reduced to having power over their

00:35:20.240 block, you know, their street.

00:35:22.280 Uh, that's the goal.

00:35:23.960 Uh, so the effects of this will be long.

00:35:26.680 I do not think we'll see a lot of acts of narco terrorism within the U S because of this.

00:35:31.680 I don't know that, but I don't think so.

00:35:34.100 I, I think that, uh, the statement made is that it doesn't matter how powerful you are.

00:35:40.380 Like if, if you put yourself in a position to become the focus of the United States government,

00:35:46.520 we can and will get you.

00:35:49.880 And, uh, I think that this results in a lot of folks trying to keep their heads down and

00:35:54.880 not being as ostentatious as El Mencho was when he was alive.

00:35:59.060 Um, are we, um, are we going to see, uh, transformation of Mexico?

00:36:12.780 Do you think they have the stomach to finish this job or is somebody else just going to

00:36:18.740 step in?

00:36:19.260 Well, I, I think that's going to, it's a great question, Glenn.

00:36:24.080 I think that's going to depend on what we do in this country.

00:36:28.080 Um, you know, if the next time we get a leader, if that leader is very left leaning and, uh,

00:36:36.120 soft on, on, um, you know, soft on, on drugs and soft on crime.

00:36:42.620 And if that leader is also soft on illegal migration, right?

00:36:45.980 If that leader is soft on asylum claims and they allow tens of millions of people to show

00:36:51.420 up at our border as they did in the last administration, um, keeping in mind that several

00:36:57.800 of these cartels, uh, have business models that are, that are primarily based on asylum

00:37:04.360 claimants, right?

00:37:05.300 And on illegal immigration, uh, they were making as much or more like the, like various factions

00:37:10.620 of the Gulf cartel and Los Etos was making as much or more from the people showing up at

00:37:15.860 our border claiming asylum than they were making from drugs.

00:37:19.180 So, uh, if, if we do things in this country that increase the pull factors and increase

00:37:24.920 the economic engines for various Mexican cartels, then we're going to be in trouble.

00:37:31.400 But if, if we continue to say in the best case scenario, right, say that, uh, we have

00:37:38.640 J.D. Vance and he continues with the Trump policies and the Trump focus on Mexican cartels,

00:37:44.900 I think that we, we have a, a, a very good shot at, at Mexico becoming a better place,

00:37:52.120 which is very important for us because it affects us directly, right?

00:37:56.280 You got to keep in mind, you know, like Americans didn't want fentanyl and then El Mencho began

00:38:01.680 to manufacture fentanyl, right?

00:38:03.840 El Mencho began to manufacture fentanyl and then the desire for, for more of it, right?

00:38:10.960 It was, it was a push issue, not a, not a demand issue.

00:38:15.760 Um, there's obviously that's a complicated issue, but, but, uh, it was more of a push

00:38:21.980 and not, not so much a demand that caused the supply.

00:38:25.040 It was the supply that pushed the demand.

00:38:27.720 And, uh, when it came to that, so it really just depends on what we do, but I can tell you

00:38:33.740 this, if Mexico were going to become a better place, if our Southern neighbor was going to

00:38:39.640 get healthier, this is exactly what was required for that to happen.

00:38:44.640 So this isn't the, the armistice, this isn't the end of the war.

00:38:48.760 Uh, this isn't, you know, Germany surrendering, but this is definitely, yesterday was definitely 0.59

00:38:53.780 D-Day, right?

00:38:55.280 And we definitely, uh, took, took, took land and we definitely established a beachhead.

00:39:01.360 And so, um, I am very hopeful.

00:39:05.080 Um, I think this shows that the current Mexican president is actually trying to work with the

00:39:10.580 U S no, I don't think she would have if it weren't for Trump's pressure, but regardless

00:39:15.140 of that, this shows a serious step, um, in the right direction.

00:39:21.800 Uh, Brandon, uh, 45 seconds left, talk directly to anybody who's thinking spring break's going

00:39:29.000 to be great.

00:39:29.540 I'm going to Mexico, no matter what.

00:39:32.040 Um, I would not allow my, my, my children, uh, to go to Mexico right now.

00:39:38.300 Um, I would not allow my children to go to even the safe areas like Cancun or Puerto Vallarta,

00:39:45.400 because they're obviously not safe, but keep in mind, those are economic engines for cartels

00:39:50.320 as they fight each other.

00:39:51.960 They're going to try to hurt each other's economic engines.

00:39:54.240 And you just might find yourself or your child or your college student, uh, caught in crossfire.

00:40:00.540 I would not do that right now.

00:40:02.180 I would wait a bit on going to Mexico.

00:40:05.600 Thank you so much.

00:40:06.600 Appreciate it, Brandon.

00:40:07.480 We'll talk again.

00:40:08.660 Great job on calling this one.

00:40:10.420 You bet.

00:40:11.020 Bye-bye.

00:40:11.300 Um, let me talk to you about rush tax.

00:40:13.520 You know, you almost never, uh, you, you almost, uh, never relax when you're dealing

00:40:20.440 with the IRS.

00:40:21.340 You know, you don't get the sigh of relief when something shows up tax season is like a

00:40:26.480 low grade tension that hums around the background, especially if you're not sure everything is

00:40:30.180 in perfect order.

00:40:31.180 If you have questions that maybe you don't even know how to ask them, what you really

00:40:36.500 want is somebody who's in your corner.

00:40:38.580 Somebody who knows the rules, understands the paperwork can walk you through the process

00:40:42.080 without making you feel like you're one misstep away from, you know, a notice in the email

00:40:46.300 in the mail.

00:40:47.800 This is where rush tax comes in.

00:40:49.780 They'll help you prepare and file accurately, stay compliant, handle the details that most

00:40:55.060 of us don't have time for, or the stomach to do, um, you know, or the ability to manage

00:40:59.620 it on our own.

00:41:00.680 When you mentioned my name, rush is going to provide a free IRS transcript investigation.

00:41:05.420 That's a service that others typically charge about $500 for without confirming that they

00:41:09.980 can even help you first.

00:41:11.080 rush will give you this upfront and for free, and they'll only take your case.

00:41:15.700 If they know they can help you get a rush tax attorney.

00:41:18.480 Now protect yourself.

00:41:19.600 Call 877-554-RUSH.

00:41:21.760 That's 877-554-7874, or go to rushtaxresolution.com.

00:41:29.480 Glenn Beck.

00:41:30.600 Now there's a point in almost every weight loss attempt where you start questioning yourself.

00:41:44.300 Uh, maybe you're eating better than you used to.

00:41:46.000 You're trying to move more.

00:41:46.920 Maybe a big chunk of your day just opened up and you no longer have any excuse whatsoever

00:41:51.080 not to actually go to the gym.

00:41:52.440 And yet the scale barely moves for you, or it moves for a minute and then it creeps right

00:41:57.280 back.

00:41:58.060 It's usually when people assume the problem is discipline, but a lot of the times it can

00:42:02.320 be biology.

00:42:03.560 When your blood sugar isn't stable, your body keeps nudging you to eat, to snack, to store

00:42:08.720 energy instead of burn it.

00:42:11.000 And you can fight that willpower for a while, but usually you wind up failing in the end.

00:42:14.600 Lean from Brickhouse Nutrition was developed to support your metabolism in a smarter way.

00:42:34.440 supporting it.

00:42:35.580 Lean isn't about a crash diet.

00:42:37.080 It's not like, you know, dropping a few pounds before vacation necessarily.

00:42:40.180 It's, it's about people who really have a need and a desire to lose some weight, keep

00:42:45.520 it off for a long period of time instead of starting all over again.

00:44:12.080 There's one thing that doesn't always show up on demand, and that is medical care, especially

00:44:16.600 when the system gets strained or when you're farther away from help than you expected to

00:44:20.780 be.

00:44:21.260 We don't like to think about that.

00:44:22.900 We just assume that our pharmacy is always going to be open.

00:44:25.460 We assume that we'll all be well on vacation.

00:44:27.900 We assume the clinic will have appointments.

00:44:29.480 We assume the supply chain won't break down, but that's why Jace Medical exists.

00:46:01.560 The fusion of entertainment, enlightenment, and empowerment.

00:46:09.120 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:46:13.000 Glenn Beck is on.

00:46:14.360 Oh, I've been waiting for this since the U.S. hockey team scored.

00:46:21.200 It lasts.

00:46:22.420 Yesterday, they brought home the gold, and it felt good.

00:46:27.760 But there is something different about this.

00:46:32.380 I mean, it felt good when the women's hockey team did it to Canada.

00:46:35.280 You know, part of it, I guess, is, you know, Canada.

00:46:37.660 Um, but I think it's, I think there are four or five reasons why this is particularly playing differently with the American people, and they all revolve around Jack Hughes.

00:46:51.840 And I'll get to that here in 60 seconds.

00:46:54.940 First, let me tell you about the Berna launcher.

00:46:56.840 You're sitting there in the police station, you know, cuffs, you know, you're still, your hands are in cuffs.

00:47:02.360 Someone's coming in asking questions about what happened earlier tonight.

00:47:05.180 You're not going to work tomorrow.

00:47:07.060 Most likely, you know, you don't really even know what tomorrow is going to hold at all.

00:47:11.120 It was an act of self-defense.

00:47:12.720 You know that, but the police don't know, at least not yet.

00:47:15.700 And depending on where you live, they may never know that.

00:47:18.460 You know, you can justify it in your mind all you want, but what is the real deal?

00:47:23.100 Uh, you shot somebody, and it was lethal.

00:47:28.220 That may or may not have been the thing to do, and the court will decide, and your life is hell for the next year or so.

00:47:34.820 The Berna launcher was made for this very situation and so many others.

00:47:38.940 It gives you a way to protect yourself and your family without using a firearm.

00:47:42.800 It is legal in all 50 states.

00:47:44.500 It does not require a permit anywhere.

00:47:46.300 It uses CO2 to launch powerful, non-lethal projectiles designed to stop a threat and create an opportunity for you to get to safety.

00:47:54.460 Right now, Berna is offering 10% off site-wide, so go right now to Berna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn, and learn more.

00:48:02.300 Try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse location near you.

00:48:05.820 You can find one at Berna dot com slash Glenn.

00:48:09.280 So, last night was fabulous, or yesterday was fabulous, when we found out that the U.S. hockey team won the gold.

00:48:22.820 Let me give you a couple of scenes from this.

00:48:26.800 First of all, I don't know if you've seen, if you happen to be watching on Torch, you'll see the picture.

00:48:32.560 This is Jack Hughes smiling after the win, which I just absolutely love.

00:48:38.240 Do you have that full screen?

00:48:39.660 There he is.

00:48:40.680 I mean, blood in his mouth. 0.58

00:48:44.800 I mean, this is an American.

00:48:46.620 This is an American.

00:48:48.140 Okay.

00:48:49.180 Here's the moment he, uh, he scored the game-winning goal.

00:48:54.180 Listen, cut one.

00:48:54.920 Good numbers.

00:48:57.880 Locked across it comes.

00:49:00.080 Jack Hughes wins it.

00:49:01.780 The golden goal for the United States.

00:49:04.180 For the first time since the 1980 miracle, the United States takes the goal.

00:49:16.440 It's the greatest.

00:49:19.040 It is the greatest.

00:49:20.540 It is the greatest.

00:49:21.980 It feels good.

00:49:23.300 You know, Donald Trump said one at one point, you're gonna get sick of winning.

00:49:25.940 I'm not sick of it.

00:49:26.920 I am not sick of it.

00:49:28.180 Now, they sang the national anthem, and I want to play just a little bit of the hockey team singing the national anthem.

00:49:37.280 They're not singers.

00:49:50.960 They're hockey players.

00:49:52.080 But they were proud to be an American.

00:49:55.160 They were proud to be there representing us.

00:49:57.760 That is what felt so good.

00:50:00.940 We don't feel that very often anymore.

00:50:03.840 And the left is saying, oh, it's a MAGA win.

00:50:06.400 MAGA's a... 1.00

00:50:07.320 Shut up. 1.00

00:50:08.640 Shut up. 1.00

00:50:09.360 This should be something for all Americans to enjoy. 1.00

00:50:14.140 I'm tired of being ashamed of my country.

00:50:18.120 I'm not ashamed.

00:50:19.400 I should say, I'm tired of people trying to make me ashamed of my country.

00:50:23.580 I'm tired of people being ashamed of our country.

00:50:28.860 Have we made mistakes?

00:50:30.560 Yeah.

00:50:31.200 Show me the country that has made fewer.

00:50:34.760 That are 230 years old or 250 years old.

00:50:39.520 Show me the country. 0.99

00:50:42.900 We all suck at some point. 0.98

00:50:45.960 But we try and strive to get better. 0.87

00:50:53.580 Look, when he brought home or helped bring home the gold, it landed differently than most gold medals land.

00:51:06.820 Okay?

00:51:08.120 And it's partly because of him, but it's also partly because of us.

00:51:13.500 Hockey is different.

00:51:14.920 Now, you're going to have to excuse me because I know nothing about hockey.

00:51:17.500 I mean, I know nothing about sports, but from what little I have read, excuse me for the first two points, but I think they're accurate.

00:51:27.880 Okay?

00:51:30.380 There are five reasons why this hit differently for all of us.

00:51:34.600 The first one, this is a new generation of American hockey.

00:51:38.880 We lived, when I was growing up, we lived in the shadow of Canada and the old Soviet Union, and that was a machine. 0.98

00:51:47.540 And the miracle of 1980, that was just blue-collar grit.

00:51:53.040 That was just, you know, that was Lake Placid.

00:51:55.560 It was sacrifice.

00:51:58.020 Hughes is different.

00:52:00.900 He is speed.

00:52:02.320 He's skill.

00:52:03.480 He's flash.

00:52:04.440 He's confidence.

00:52:06.540 He's the face of the New Jersey Devils.

00:52:08.880 Former number one overall draft pick.

00:52:12.880 He is the guy who represents the American hockey player development.

00:52:18.700 Kids coming out of the, you know, U.S. national team development program who don't just compete internationally.

00:52:25.720 They're dominating.

00:52:27.380 And that shift matters because we've always kind of been this borrowed excellence or we were the, you know, we were not the, we didn't dominate.

00:52:37.540 We borrowed.

00:52:38.680 We borrowed.

00:52:41.400 Now it's all homegrown.

00:52:43.000 There's the first reason.

00:52:43.900 This is homegrown.

00:52:45.040 It's a new generation.

00:52:47.600 Two.

00:52:48.780 He has a style that I think Americans recognize.

00:52:51.860 He plays like a modern American athlete.

00:52:55.720 He is creative.

00:52:57.220 He is fast.

00:52:58.360 He is fearless.

00:52:59.640 He walks off with no teeth in the front.

00:53:02.320 I mean, he's willing to take over.

00:53:04.280 Okay.

00:53:06.400 Gold medals mean more to us when they're played or when they're won by players who feel distinctly American in their temperament.

00:53:16.740 They're assertive.

00:53:18.620 They're confident and a little defiant.

00:53:21.920 That's who we are.

00:53:23.620 Okay.

00:53:24.880 And he didn't just compete.

00:53:26.760 He imposed himself on these games.

00:53:30.820 Americans like that.

00:53:32.300 The rest of the world may not like that, but that's who we are.

00:53:35.280 We're the people who cross the Rocky mountains.

00:53:37.780 Okay.

00:53:39.380 Third reason.

00:53:40.960 Gold still seems really rare in hockey.

00:53:43.560 Okay.

00:53:43.920 Basketball.

00:53:44.900 I mean, when they were, we have the dream team in basketball.

00:53:48.260 Oh, we won the gold.

00:53:49.540 What a shock expected.

00:53:52.740 Baseball work.

00:53:53.600 You know, everybody's competitive football.

00:53:55.760 That's ours.

00:53:56.380 Of course.

00:53:56.820 But hockey, hockey still carries an old weight to it.

00:54:02.460 It feels like you're taking something back from the old powers of Canada and Sweden and Russia. 0.94

00:54:09.200 When the U S wins golden hockey, it's earned the hard way.

00:54:14.820 And when a young American star is at the center of that, I don't know.

00:54:18.500 It just kind of feels like momentum, right?

00:54:21.340 Feels good.

00:54:22.160 Now, here's the fourth reason why this feels different timing.

00:54:32.140 We are in the weirdest place of my lifetime.

00:54:36.520 We are culturally divided.

00:54:39.200 We are cynical.

00:54:40.580 We're exhausted by politics and sports.

00:54:44.820 At least this sports moment, it was clean.

00:54:48.420 It was earned.

00:54:49.260 It was unified.

00:54:51.880 And it hits harder right now.

00:54:53.820 When somebody look, listen, play the, uh, cut of him.

00:54:58.620 Let me see where I can find it.

00:55:00.080 Play the cut where he is talking about how lucky is cut three.

00:55:05.460 I'm lucky I'm from the best country in the world.

00:55:07.780 And we got great dentists there too.

00:55:09.440 So I'm lucky I'm American and they're going to fix me right up. 0.92

00:55:13.140 Standing there listening to the anthem.

00:55:14.460 What's going through your head?

00:55:16.160 Just so proud.

00:55:17.140 I'm so proud to be American.

00:55:18.740 I'm so proud of this group.

00:55:20.160 I'm so happy that we could win.

00:55:22.780 You know, we have so many people here supporting us.

00:55:25.160 We have so many people back home supporting us.

00:55:27.360 And, you know, we're just, we're, we're so thrilled with how this whole tournament played out.

00:55:32.340 And, you know, just unbelievable moment for USA hockey.

00:55:35.820 We've been feeling that, that love for, for so many years.

00:55:38.840 You know, so many of these guys have been in like with USA hockey for so long.

00:55:43.620 We have so many ex players, ex Olympians, all the guys we looked up to reached out to us.

00:55:49.800 We got their notes on the wall in the locker room and they sent some unbelievable messages.

00:55:54.360 Stuff that, you know, puts tears in your eyes, honestly, because it means so much to them.

00:55:58.940 It means so much to us.

00:55:59.880 And the next batch of kids in the next 20 years, it's going to mean so much to them.

00:56:03.780 So that's why we do this.

00:56:05.420 USA brother hockey brotherhood is so strong.

00:56:08.560 We're so proud that we could do it for them.

00:56:10.560 We're so proud we could do it for everyone back home.

00:56:14.420 I mean, how great is that?

00:56:16.820 There's no scandal.

00:56:17.720 There's no theatrics.

00:56:18.680 There's just excellence and teamwork.

00:56:22.700 Let me play the next, uh, cut.

00:56:25.320 Uh, they brought the kids of, uh, Johnny Godreau, uh, out.

00:56:29.120 He was killed by a drunk driver last year alongside his brother.

00:56:33.460 And they bring his two kids out on the, he would have been playing in, in the Olympics

00:56:39.100 and they bring his kids out, play a little bit of this.

00:56:42.200 And as we look behind, Dylan Larkin and Zach Moretzky have gone into the stands to go get

00:56:47.660 Johnny's kids.

00:56:49.400 They're going to come out now.

00:56:52.600 And they're going to hold your dad's jersey and get a picture with the gold medal team.

00:56:58.120 How beautiful was that?

00:57:06.080 You talk about sports and you talk about the togetherness of a team.

00:57:12.940 That's why they won the gold.

00:57:14.320 And that's what mattered to us.

00:57:18.400 I mean, this is the story of Jack.

00:57:21.600 He's the face of it, but it's not the story of Jack.

00:57:24.280 It is the team.

00:57:26.840 It's the team.

00:57:29.840 There was a time when America felt like a team and I don't know about you, but I'm longing

00:57:34.520 to feel like a team again.

00:57:36.040 I don't know why we can't get on to the, you know, USA team, but we can't.

00:57:41.500 There's too many people that hate America that are Americans.

00:57:45.860 I don't get it.

00:57:47.380 You just don't get it.

00:57:48.680 But, you know, to each his own.

00:57:53.280 And the fifth reason I think is because of the story of his family.

00:57:58.420 Another thing that is important to America.

00:58:01.920 Jack's not just a one-off.

00:58:03.680 He is a hockey family.

00:58:05.280 His brother is a star for the Vancouver Canucks, and I'm not going to hold that against him.

00:58:10.160 His other brother also plays for the Devils.

00:58:12.820 Three elite American players from one family.

00:58:16.580 There is something to that that speaks to us about our family in a deeper way.

00:58:21.980 Discipline, structure, parental investment.

00:58:25.660 People who work hard.

00:58:27.560 This family obviously works hard, trains hard, and is a unit.

00:58:32.520 That's the American ideal.

00:58:34.580 Build it at home.

00:58:35.680 Take it to the world stage.

00:58:36.880 That's why this hit us all so hard, because it feels like a torch is being passed to the next generation, and they're lighting an entirely new flame.

00:58:46.480 American development is beating the old system.

00:58:50.280 Excellence without shame or apology.

00:58:53.940 Unity without politics.

00:58:57.180 And family.

00:59:00.060 I mean, that was not a medal you saw.

00:59:01.960 That was the symbol of something that Americans are hungry to feel again, that we're not fading away, that we can still produce the very best in the world, that our young men and women can walk into the hardest arenas on earth and come out champions, no matter what everyone else is telling them.

00:59:25.800 And in hockey, of all things, in all sports, it still feels like we're proving something.

00:59:38.380 A good night's sleep shouldn't be too much to ask from life, and yet somehow it often is, especially the older we get.

00:59:44.000 When you go to bed, you're good and tired.

00:59:47.080 You did everything you were supposed to do today.

00:59:49.280 You worked.

00:59:49.980 You showed up.

00:59:50.720 You handled what needed handling.

00:59:52.000 And then when your head finally hits the pillow, rest doesn't come, and it's frustrating.

00:59:57.500 You just deal with it.

00:59:58.800 But one night turns into two nights, and then it turns into weeks and months.

01:00:02.700 And sleep is not a luxury.

01:00:04.120 It's foundational.

01:00:04.940 It affects your focus and your mood and your patience, even how your body recovers from the day.

01:00:09.260 And when it's off, everything is off.

01:00:10.900 That's why there is Z Factor.

01:00:57.820 From Axios, three Team USA fans, one of whom is wearing a MAGA hat, says America is celebrating its first U.S. men's hockey gold since the 80s, toppling Canada with clutch overtime goal and historic sharp tensions between the neighboring nations.

01:01:15.940 The big picture is the victory was extra sweet for the MAGA world, which swiftly seized on the win as an opportunity to roast Ottawa and uplift teams.

01:01:25.420 Okay.

01:01:25.680 Well, I mean, I would say that our fearless leader did post something.

01:01:32.660 Do we have the picture that we don't, uh, it was, uh, it was a Canadian goose on the ice flat with the claws of a bald Eagle into its back.

01:01:47.140 I mean, there it is.

01:01:48.000 I mean, that is the president trolling.

01:01:53.700 And I don't think there is anyone better than president Trump at trolling, uh, look at the Canadian goose with its beak in the ice.

01:02:05.300 It's just, it is a very funny picture.

01:02:09.080 It is a very funny picture.

01:02:11.000 Um, but you know, I honestly, most Americans and even Donald Trump, he's trolling.

01:02:17.800 He's not, he doesn't hate Canadians.

01:02:20.600 He's not trying to rub their face in it.

01:02:22.680 I'm not trying to rub their face in it.

01:02:24.300 Well, he might be maybe a little bit, a little bit, but I don't think Canadians, I think the government.

01:02:30.660 Um, and so, you know, now the, the news is like, oh, look at what happened.

01:02:36.080 Look at what happened.

01:02:36.780 And they're making it about politics.

01:02:39.280 Can you stop?

01:02:40.920 Can you just stop?

01:02:45.140 Here's the opposite of, of what I would hope all of our, uh, athletes would do.

01:02:52.680 Um, this is from the New York post.

01:02:54.700 Nathan McKinnon does not believe team Canada got what it deserved.

01:02:59.640 Team USA pulled out a two, one overtime victory on Sunday in Milan for the first Olympic gold medal in men's ice hockey.

01:03:05.840 Since 1980, despite Canada, carrying much of the play and out shooting the Americans by 42, 28 margin, including a 19 eight in the second period.

01:03:16.360 Um, you be the judge who the better team was today.

01:03:19.360 You know, that that's not the way this works.

01:03:21.860 I don't know if you know that Mr.

01:03:23.340 McKinnon, uh, McKinnon, it doesn't work that way.

01:03:27.380 It's who scored the most.

01:03:31.080 Who scored the most?

01:03:33.320 If you would have won the gold and they outplayed you, would you have handed them the gold?

01:03:39.600 Of course not.

01:03:40.620 You just don't like silver.

01:03:43.280 You know why?

01:03:44.680 Because you were probably making fun of the Canadian hockey team, the girls hockey team.

01:03:49.240 When they're like silver shines just as bright last week.

01:03:52.680 You at least know that's a lie.

01:03:57.460 My gosh.

01:03:59.060 What kind of, what, what kind of poor sportsmanship is that?

01:04:03.760 And I'd say that if it was an American doing exactly the same thing, poor sportsmanship, I mean, yes, you know, a gracious winner probably does not tweet out the Eagle on the back of the Canadian goose.

01:04:27.600 But that just makes me, he just put it up in front of me again.

01:04:36.280 Oh, that is funny.

01:04:37.700 If you haven't seen this, you have to look up what the white house did.

01:04:42.320 Cause what did, what was it that, uh, what's his name tweeted?

01:04:47.720 Uh, because that was a response to Justin Trudeau.

01:04:51.600 Do we have that?

01:04:54.240 Justin Trudeau. 1.00

01:04:55.160 So, you know, he said something stupid, like silver, it's just, it's great. 0.99

01:05:00.560 Uh, and, uh, it's a little white house, put that picture up. 0.99

01:05:05.660 I mean, okay.

01:05:06.640 All right.

01:05:07.060 Not the best sportsmanship.

01:05:08.380 I agree, but funny, but funny.

01:05:11.640 And I think that's what, that's what people miss about Donald Trump.

01:05:15.340 The guy is funny.

01:05:17.360 He is funny.

01:05:18.620 And I know nobody's supposed to be funny anymore.

01:05:21.900 Can we get over this?

01:05:23.740 Please.

01:05:24.220 What is, what did, what did Trudeau say?

01:05:27.300 Oh, so Justin Trudeau said, actually, just a few days ago.

01:05:32.160 Okay.

01:05:32.700 No, no, no, sorry.

01:05:33.560 A few days ago, last year, 2015, you can't take our functions.

01:05:38.720 And you can't take our things.

01:05:41.560 Oh, we just did.

01:05:42.740 Oh, that's why it's so, that's why it's so, apparently I was muted because I'm not a broadcast

01:05:52.160 professional like you.

01:05:53.640 I'm an amateur.

01:05:54.900 Okay.

01:05:55.060 This is what Justin Trudeau said.

01:05:56.460 You can't take our country and you can't take our game.

01:05:59.960 Yeah.

01:06:00.360 Thank you, sir.

01:06:01.000 Yeah, we did.

01:06:01.920 We did.

01:06:02.820 We took it.

01:06:03.860 We took it.

01:06:04.860 And it was, it was sweet for us.

01:06:07.240 Not because we were defeating you.

01:06:08.880 You're not the Soviet Union to us.

01:06:11.060 Canada.

01:06:11.640 I hate to tell you this.

01:06:13.040 I love you.

01:06:13.780 I love you.

01:06:14.300 And I think most Americans love you, but I hate to tell you, we don't think of you that

01:06:18.700 often.

01:06:19.500 Okay.

01:06:20.300 Stop thinking like we want to take you over.

01:06:22.800 Most of us are like, nah, it's too cold up there.

01:06:26.760 I mean, we're not that interested.

01:06:28.860 You're not that good looking.

01:06:30.280 Okay.

01:06:30.840 You're not that good looking, Canada.

01:06:33.260 Stop it.

01:06:34.360 And remember, silver just shines just as bright as gold does.

01:06:40.300 Yeah, it does.

01:06:41.720 That's another reason why we're not that interested.

01:06:45.440 You think silver shines just as bright as gold does.

01:06:48.880 No, thanks.

01:06:50.380 We have enough of those people here.

01:06:52.220 All right.

01:06:52.980 Back in just a minute.

01:06:56.420 When it's talking about Israel, a scripture say, I will bless those who bless you.

01:07:01.780 That's a Bible verse, clear call to action.

01:07:05.440 And those people who are rising up against that, that call, it's more urgent than ever

01:07:13.240 before.

01:07:14.480 Because to me, that doesn't mean I have to agree with Israel or I have to follow

01:07:18.860 their policies or I have to agree with wars or anything like that.

01:07:22.860 I just believe the Jewish people have a right to exist.

01:07:26.300 Okay.

01:07:26.840 You want your country, then you're going to have to fight for it and defend it.

01:07:30.340 And they do.

01:07:31.060 Okay.

01:07:31.560 They're not asking us for, to come over with troops.

01:07:33.920 They're not doing that.

01:07:34.920 What we're supposed to do is fight for the right for Jews to live.

01:07:41.480 And I would do that for the, the Navajo nation.

01:07:45.220 You have a right to live.

01:07:47.200 We shouldn't exterminate all of you.

01:07:49.340 Listen, um, this is really important to support and show the people of the world that we do stand 0.98

01:07:56.620 with the Jew while the rest wants to exterminate all of them. 0.96

01:08:00.520 Learn how you can bless Israel and be blessed in return. 0.92

01:08:20.100 Torch.

01:08:20.520 You know, Canada, I want you to look at this one.

01:08:39.040 You could be cheering with us.

01:08:41.600 Had you just become a 51st state?

01:08:43.760 Uh, you know, it's just that easy to fix.

01:08:46.060 Anyway, I told you a minute ago and now the calls are coming in and everybody's, you know,

01:08:50.380 Glenn got it wrong about sports.

01:08:52.980 What show are you listening to?

01:08:55.360 Of course I got it wrong about sports for the love of Pete.

01:09:00.600 Quinn Hughes apparently does not play for the Canucks.

01:09:04.160 He plays for Minnesota.

01:09:06.540 Easy mistake.

01:09:07.760 I consider Minnesota part of Canada.

01:09:11.520 Um, and Quinn Hughes is the one, the brother, and he had the winning goal when we were playing

01:09:18.480 against Sweden in the semifinals.

01:09:20.460 He's the one that got us there.

01:09:21.640 So, you know, that's great.

01:09:23.280 Anyway.

01:09:23.780 Uh, also, I mean, was it, I mean, I'm just going to chalk it up to, I'm not going to read

01:09:32.820 more into it.

01:09:33.420 Cause there wasn't any more to read into, you know, when he said, I come from a country with

01:09:37.660 good dentists.

01:09:38.740 It's not that you don't, Canada doesn't have good dentists.

01:09:41.360 It's just that they have like four dentists and a bazillion people to get in to see those

01:09:46.900 four dentists.

01:09:47.740 So he could, I'll bet you, cause you know, he's been, uh, he's been asked to join the

01:09:53.480 whole team.

01:09:54.420 And I think the women's team have been asked to be the president's guest at the state of

01:09:59.200 the union tomorrow.

01:10:00.980 Uh, and he said, if I have to, I've just send the military plane out to get you and pick 0.96

01:10:04.960 you guys up in Italy and bring you in.

01:10:07.660 Um, and he called them last night and they were like, we're in, we're in, we're in,

01:10:12.160 we're in, we're in.

01:10:12.880 So you'll see them at the state of the union.

01:10:15.640 And I bet there's a chance because of American dentists, he'll have his teeth fixed.

01:10:22.880 Canada.

01:10:23.680 You could have it too.

01:10:24.740 If you had the 51st date, I just, uh, anyway, isn't it amazing how much you care about that

01:10:32.540 guy, these people when 24 hours ago, 99% of us had no idea who they were.

01:10:40.920 That says something.

01:10:42.120 And that said, I think that says something about how hungry we are to have people that

01:10:48.040 just are not ashamed of our country.

01:10:52.180 You know, you don't have to like everything we do, but do you have to be ashamed of it?

01:10:56.160 There is a, there's just this agonizing, uh, editorial in the HuffPost, uh, who even knew

01:11:04.760 that was still a thing, but apparently it is, um, therapist explain cognitive dissidence

01:11:11.180 with watching the winter Olympics.

01:11:13.980 Okay.

01:11:15.100 Pay it to me.

01:11:16.040 Um, this wish whiplash between pride for the United States competitors and national shame

01:11:21.580 for the federal government is common.

01:11:23.860 Even us Olympians competing in the 2026 Milan Cortina games in Italy feel ambivalent about

01:11:30.540 representing the stars and stripes.

01:11:32.060 Do they, do they, I mean, I, some do, Hey, I love the one who's an American.

01:11:37.040 Who's like, I'm going to ski for China.

01:11:40.460 Go for it.

01:11:42.020 Go for it.

01:11:43.080 Um, there's obviously a lot going on and I'm not the biggest fan of and wearing the

01:11:49.100 flag doesn't mean I represent everything going on in the U S.

01:11:52.220 Oh, good for you.

01:11:54.500 That's U S Olympic skier Hunter Hess, which prompted Trump later to label him as a real 0.97

01:11:59.320 loser for his comments.

01:12:02.760 Hey, at least he wasn't faced down in the snow with an Eagle in its back. 0.99

01:12:08.460 There's obviously a lot going on.

01:12:10.100 I'm not the biggest fan of wearing the flag.

01:12:11.560 It doesn't mean I represent everything going on in the U S of course not.

01:12:14.940 You know what?

01:12:15.660 That's a very healthy way to look at it.

01:12:18.360 I, you know, because I don't understand why, if you're on the left, you must hate the United

01:12:24.660 States of America.

01:12:25.720 And then they tell you, when I say something like that, they're going to write, you know,

01:12:29.260 the HuffPo, if they could afford, you know, the internet, they would be writing up today.

01:12:34.020 Glenn Beck said, you have to hate the American.

01:12:36.420 That's not true.

01:12:37.120 We love the constitution just as much as anybody else.

01:12:39.880 No, you don't stop it.

01:12:42.780 Stop it.

01:12:44.100 The cognitive dissidence of rooting for us sports while hating the U S government.

01:12:49.140 Remember we were the anti-government people.

01:12:51.680 Remember that they were saying we were anti-government.

01:12:54.420 That's what made us, us so dangerous.

01:12:56.680 The cognitive dissidence of rooting for the U S sports while hating the U S government

01:13:00.980 is so common.

01:13:02.440 It continues to be one of the main topics I hold space for in therapy.

01:13:07.760 Oh my gosh.

01:13:10.680 I just, I think I just figured this out.

01:13:12.780 All of these experts, they all come from the psychotherapy world.

01:13:20.640 They're making a fortune.

01:13:22.200 They're making more and more sick people and they're making a fortune off of them.

01:13:27.720 Los Angeles based clinical social worker, Amy Montroza said, as we continue to witness

01:13:33.220 national and global atrocities in real time, sweetheart, you need, you need, you need to

01:13:39.100 look up the word atrocity.

01:13:40.600 Okay.

01:13:41.820 It can trigger feelings of guilt and despair and shame and anger.

01:13:46.240 Oh, oh my gosh.

01:13:49.660 You know, the only, the only time I have really felt shame in my country for anything that

01:13:56.040 has happened is Afghanistan.

01:13:58.320 When we pulled out of Afghanistan, I was, it was shameful, shameful what we did.

01:14:03.560 Now I can look back in history and go, that was a shameful moment.

01:14:06.420 That was a shameful moment, but I've never experienced.

01:14:09.100 Shame, except for that moment.

01:14:10.780 And if you were honest with yourself, those who vote for Democrats, you were ashamed of

01:14:15.320 that too.

01:14:15.980 You were ashamed of that too.

01:14:17.740 Although these feelings are common, you shouldn't ignore them.

01:14:20.320 No, you should go to therapy and spend lots of money.

01:14:23.740 Cognitive dissidence.

01:14:25.040 Isn't just having mixed feelings.

01:14:27.280 Says a Nevada based clinical psychologist.

01:14:30.120 It's a psychological state that happens when somebody holds two conflicting beliefs or values

01:14:35.520 at the same time, or they're engaging in behaviors that contradict their values.

01:14:40.580 Our brains don't like inconsistency.

01:14:43.200 So it searches for ways to reduce that tension.

01:14:45.740 Oftentimes not the healthiest of ways.

01:14:48.420 Huh?

01:14:50.220 Huh?

01:14:52.320 That's interesting.

01:14:53.280 In your mind, this tension might show up as an internal war of words.

01:14:58.220 You might worry, well, why do I want them to win when I'm angry about where the country

01:15:03.200 is going?

01:15:04.060 Ranger said, or you might qualify your feelings with statements like I'm rooting for them,

01:15:08.920 but you might even need to turn the game off right after the big moment.

01:15:13.880 Cause it suddenly feels too complicated to keep rooting.

01:15:16.660 Oh my gosh.

01:15:17.860 These people, please, please.

01:15:20.680 If you take one thing away from the show today, this is what I want you to take away.

01:15:24.220 Do not fear a civil war.

01:15:26.120 I don't want a civil war.

01:15:27.560 I'm not calling for a civil war.

01:15:28.960 Civil wars will be horrible. 0.99

01:15:30.620 It will destroy the country, but we will win.

01:15:34.180 These people, you can, they'll come.

01:15:36.200 You don't even have to leave your gun at home. 0.69

01:15:38.340 You just go up to them and like, boy, you look fat in that dress.

01:15:43.700 They'll run crying and they'll have to be in therapy.

01:15:45.960 We win. 1.00

01:15:47.460 These are the most pathetic wieners I have ever seen. 1.00

01:15:53.080 I mean, honestly, are there bigger wieners than these guys? 1.00

01:15:56.240 They, they, they fold at anything.

01:15:59.980 I don't know what to do.

01:16:01.680 This cognitive dissonance.

01:16:03.440 I'm cringing and cheering simultaneously.

01:16:06.080 What do I do?

01:16:07.440 I need a life coach.

01:16:11.500 Oh, the degree of which you feel shame and guilt right now.

01:16:15.960 For cheering us Olympians might also depend on how much cognitive dissidence you've been between the stated values of being an American freedom, the revolutionary spirit and opportunity for all versus how our government is actually acted in the hundreds of years.

01:16:30.360 Since the U S was formed.

01:16:31.920 Oh my gosh.

01:16:33.820 Let it go.

01:16:35.500 Oh, in all of the ways we have been so unfair in the hundreds of years.

01:16:42.040 Can you, can I, let me ask you one thing besides just like, if you think about it and you're like, I mean, in life affecting ways, tell me something that has happened hundreds of years ago that you're still like, I can't.

01:16:57.360 I just, I am so pissed off about that.

01:17:00.200 I mean, I can read history and I'd be like, okay, that really, you know, that was a mistake, but I'm not pissed off about it.

01:17:06.100 I wasn't there.

01:17:07.300 It no longer affects me.

01:17:09.300 You know what?

01:17:10.240 That's a good thing about Jesus.

01:17:13.000 No matter what you've done in the past, as long as you repent, as long as you're like, yeah, that was a really bad idea.

01:17:18.900 Not going to do that one again.

01:17:21.580 The past is in the past.

01:17:25.160 This, this is what makes the, this is what makes these people.

01:17:29.680 So we nourish is they are, they just can't leave.

01:17:34.780 They, they drag everything along with them stuff.

01:17:38.040 That's not even their fault.

01:17:39.480 They just drag it along with them.

01:17:42.060 That's why some people might not experience cognitive dissonance at all, because the U S government, what they're doing to its citizens is

01:17:48.640 not new for them.

01:17:51.300 Oh yeah.

01:17:54.180 Especially all those people that lived 250 years ago.

01:17:57.320 My gosh, those people are still pissed.

01:17:59.480 They can't let it go.

01:18:00.580 You know, you meet somebody who's like 285 years old today and they are livid.

01:18:06.900 You don't know what I went through.

01:18:09.880 I've, I've met a couple of 185 year olds that are, man, they're smoked.

01:18:14.860 They're smoked.

01:18:15.760 You try to dismiss them.

01:18:17.180 You can't, but Ranger says you can hold on to more than one truth at the same time.

01:18:24.880 Now let's, let me reread that for those on the left.

01:18:28.500 You can hold more than one truth at the same time.

01:18:32.980 So in other words, you could say things like these ICE agents may have been wrong, but the overwhelming number of ICE agents are not.

01:18:49.440 You could say these people were protesting and they stepped out of line, but that doesn't mean that they deserve to be killed.

01:19:03.040 You mean like that, like those two things, like, you know what I'm saying?

01:19:07.520 Like, Hey, I don't have to believe all police are bad.

01:19:12.840 I can believe that some are bad and most are good.

01:19:18.500 Ooh, wow.

01:19:19.740 I got a headache from thinking about that.

01:19:21.760 Like, like, like two thoughts at once.

01:19:25.680 So like, I could say like the United States, the United States has done more to free people than any other nation on earth.

01:19:37.640 Overwhelmingly good stuff.

01:19:39.240 While we did some really bad stuff at the same time.

01:19:44.720 Whoa, I'm dizzy.

01:19:46.700 How do I hold those two thoughts together?

01:19:51.520 This is why, this is why, why MAGA was celebrating yesterday.

01:19:56.460 Cause we're so sick and tired of wieners. 0.95

01:20:01.000 Period.

01:20:01.880 Enough said.

01:20:02.520 Let's move on.

01:20:03.400 Let me tell you about rough greens.

01:20:04.660 Before we had all these modern frou-frou breeds of dogs.

01:20:11.080 You know what happened when you tried to set a bowl of dried dog food, you know, overbaked kibble in front of your dog.

01:20:17.700 You'd become the kibble because they were dogs that didn't have to.

01:20:23.220 They didn't have to sit.

01:20:24.440 There were dogs.

01:20:25.300 A few words.

01:20:27.440 Okay.

01:20:28.300 That's a dog.

01:20:30.200 Now our dogs thrive on these little brown pellets that sit in a bag for two and a half years.

01:20:34.660 Uh, because that's what the government says they have to.

01:20:37.120 So they're shelf stable.

01:20:38.520 What, what happens?

01:20:39.520 That means they've cooked at high temperatures, everything that your dog really needs.

01:20:43.820 You need a nutritional supplement that you sprinkle on top of your dog's existing food.

01:20:48.600 And that is rough greens.

01:20:50.020 They'll add back the vitamins and minerals, the probiotics, the omegas, the enzymes, all the things that processing removes.

01:20:57.760 You don't have to throw everything out and start from scratch.

01:21:00.200 You can even keep your little dog, just upgrade the bowl because even if your dog sleeps on a monogrammed pillow, there's still a much more macho dog in there somewhere.

01:21:11.500 Somehow don't change your dog's food.

01:21:13.640 Just add rough greens, rough greens, offering a free jumpstart trial bag.

01:21:29.580 Wait, where did the president even get a picture to tweet out?

01:21:53.720 The Canadian goose with its beak in the ice and on its back, the American Eagle.

01:21:59.940 I mean, where did it even get, I just love that.

01:22:03.740 I just absolutely love that.

01:22:06.920 Only because it's funny.

01:22:08.380 Do I want to see him a Canadian? 1.00

01:22:10.740 Yeah, actually.

01:22:11.360 Yes. 0.99

01:22:11.540 I do want to see Canadian goose killed.

01:22:13.180 Have you ever lived around Canadian geese? 0.99

01:22:15.340 They crap all over everything.

01:22:17.080 I would like more eagles, more eagles. 0.99

01:22:20.420 Have you noticed though, how miserable people are on the left? 0.92

01:22:24.900 They are always so incredibly miserable. 0.72

01:22:28.500 How do you live that way?

01:22:31.020 I mean, do you ever have any fun at all?

01:22:34.160 Ever?

01:22:36.340 Ricky, what was it you just posted?

01:22:38.460 This weekend I had a friend text me.

01:22:40.420 I do have a friend in DC and they said this drunken schizophrenic guy was threatening me,

01:22:45.400 but he didn't know there were four National Guardsmen walking up behind him

01:22:48.460 and they flashed me a thumbs up asking if I was okay.

01:22:51.000 I said no and then they surrounded him and let me by.

01:22:53.540 I felt safer when I saw them walking up.

01:22:55.460 My friend is not extremely partisan.

01:22:57.000 He's not very MAGA.

01:22:58.720 And don't worry, guys.

01:22:59.840 He's not a wuss.

01:23:00.440 You just can't carry guns in DC.

01:23:02.060 Yeah, right.

01:23:02.540 But I had a lot of libs reply to that saying, first of all, this didn't happen.

01:23:07.500 There's no way that story happened.

01:23:09.740 Yeah, it's so hard to believe.

01:23:11.740 It's not like it's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

01:23:14.520 Yeah, and another person said, like you have friends.

01:23:19.300 Okay, all right.

01:23:20.400 You're a sweetheart.

01:23:22.900 Bless your heart is all I can say because it's FCC regulated and I love it.

01:23:29.980 Okay, sweetheart.

01:23:31.100 That's just fine.

01:23:32.420 I have no friends whatsoever.

01:23:35.020 Love that.

01:23:35.840 That never happened.

01:23:37.300 I know.

01:23:37.720 It's so hard to imagine.

01:23:40.000 And I was standing next to a river of chocolate.

01:23:43.360 Oh, no.

01:23:44.800 That was just the Potomac with poop in it. 0.62

01:23:47.760 I thought it was chocolate. 0.99

01:23:50.540 You know, they're so miserable. 0.99

01:23:53.120 And yet everything they do leads to that misery. 0.99

01:23:57.020 Everything they do.

01:23:58.480 You want to stop being miserable?

01:24:00.660 Start liking a few things about the country.

01:24:03.880 Start liking a few things.

01:24:05.320 You know, start trying to find some decent things in life.

01:24:08.640 Try to find some decent things in people.

01:24:11.300 I mean, I don't know how many times I say this.

01:24:14.680 I must say this at least once a show.

01:24:17.780 I don't believe Democrats are like this.

01:24:19.720 I believe leftists are.

01:24:21.300 I mean, I don't want to believe that. 0.99

01:24:24.960 I don't want to believe that they're all just so miserable.

01:24:28.160 It makes me sad. 0.94

01:24:29.400 It makes me sad to believe that they're all so miserable. 0.94

01:24:33.420 I mean, and the problem is the leftists, the ones who are doing this, they do hate. 0.98

01:24:40.720 They do hate America.

01:24:43.680 You know, how can you, how can you look at a story like that and go, you know what?

01:24:48.460 That is a good thing.

01:24:49.300 I'm glad.

01:24:49.940 I'm glad.

01:24:50.600 Because everything in their life is about politics.

01:24:54.580 There is nothing outside of politics for them.

01:24:57.120 That is their God.

01:24:59.020 And it's sad.

01:25:01.820 That's why they don't have any children.

01:25:04.680 Because they're just sad. 0.99

01:25:07.340 You want to have sex? 0.99

01:25:08.360 No, I'd rather cry. 0.99

01:25:09.700 Just, it's sad.

01:25:15.160 And we'll pray for you.

01:25:16.240 Bless your heart.

01:25:16.820 We're going to pray for you.

01:25:17.960 All right.

01:25:18.940 Back in just a second.

01:25:21.360 We've got a lot to talk about, including another update on UFO.

01:25:26.120 What is happening with the UFO thing?

01:25:28.680 What is that?

01:25:29.180 Is that just a giant psyop?

01:25:30.940 Or is something actually coming our way?

01:25:34.400 We'll talk about that in a minute.

01:25:39.700 We talk a lot about supply chains, like, you know, food just materializes, you know, from a system.

01:25:53.000 Like, it's all automated, impersonal, and global by default.

01:25:56.480 But food comes from people.

01:25:58.560 It comes from that family that has been working the same land for a generation.

01:26:02.320 It comes from ranchers who know the weather better than the forecasters do.

01:26:06.200 It comes from hands that actually raise what ends up on your table.

01:26:10.980 Good ranchers decided something simple.

01:27:33.120 The Fusion of Entertainment, Enlightenment, and...

01:27:38.120 The Fusion of Entertainment, Enlightenment, and Empowerment.

01:28:04.120 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:28:09.280 Glenn Beck is on.

01:28:13.120 Well, we've been to Mexico.

01:28:15.320 We've been to Italy.

01:28:17.180 Fire and ice.

01:28:18.920 And now, we're going to space.

01:28:22.160 The president has come out now and said that he is going to, quote,

01:28:27.740 Based on tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War and other relevant departments and agencies to begin the process of identifying and releasing government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena, and unidentified flying objects, and any and other all information connected to these highly complex but extremely interesting and important matters.

01:28:50.240 God bless America.

01:28:51.100 So, we are going to see these files.

01:28:55.460 I think this is a distraction.

01:28:57.140 I mean, that probably goes without saying a distraction.

01:29:00.000 But there is also something else going on.

01:29:03.600 And Laura Trump, the daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, said, you know, we've asked dad, you know, what he knows.

01:29:11.560 And she said, he's coy with us, which got us talking as a family.

01:29:15.660 If dad is coy with us, what does he actually know?

01:29:19.240 And then she said, there's a speech that he is prepared to give when and if the time is right.

01:29:25.860 Now, I don't know if that's a speech that is written for every president or not.

01:29:30.160 I don't know what's going on.

01:29:31.740 But a guy who I think does know what's going on is Lou Elizondo.

01:29:35.780 He is the former head of Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

01:29:40.360 That is the Pentagon unit that researched the UFOs, now known as UAPs.

01:29:46.540 He oversaw counterespionage, counterterrorism investigations worldwide for the Department of Defense.

01:29:52.240 He worked for the Office of National Counterintelligence Executive and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

01:29:58.200 He's a guy who did not believe in UAPs or UFOs.

01:30:02.080 When he was asked, what do you think about those?

01:30:03.740 He's like, I don't think about those.

01:30:05.860 And I think that's why he was given the job.

01:30:07.500 But he said something in a podcast.

01:30:10.600 He was on with us a while back.

01:30:14.900 And then I just saw him on a podcast and he said, people in the government have got to come clean because a clock is ticking.

01:30:22.500 And I want to know what he meant by that.

01:30:25.580 What do you mean there's a clock ticking?

01:30:27.980 Because if you don't come, you know, if we found UFOs in 1955, who cares?

01:30:32.400 Even if we found them two years ago, who cares?

01:30:36.160 What do you mean there's a clock ticking?

01:30:38.060 That implies, at least to me, that something is coming that we need to be prepared for.

01:30:45.260 I don't know.

01:30:45.800 Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

01:30:47.020 We're going to talk to Lou next.

01:30:47.920 First, let me tell you about pre-born.

01:30:49.720 When we talk about the right to life, it is easy to gloss over the fact that we often mean what we say.

01:30:55.420 Life is a right granted by God.

01:30:57.420 It knits us together fearfully and wonderfully in the womb.

01:31:02.840 And it is one of the greatest tragedies of our time that so many people have chosen to end that life before even has a chance at the outside world.

01:31:10.080 A child with a beating heart, toes, and fingers.

01:31:13.100 A child who, given time, will laugh and cry and grow and dream.

01:31:16.460 For many women facing an unplanned pregnancy, fear drowns out everything else.

01:31:21.080 They feel alone, pressured, unsure where to turn.

01:31:24.220 And that's where pre-born steps in.

01:31:26.140 Pre-born partners with pregnancy clinics across the country to provide free ultrasounds to women considering abortion.

01:31:31.860 And when a mother sees her baby on that screen, when she hears that heartbeat, the conversation changes.

01:31:36.440 Hope enters the room for the first time.

01:31:38.820 Just $28.

01:31:39.880 You can provide one life-saving ultrasound.

01:31:41.720 Make this the year of the biggest baby saving that is in history.

01:31:47.780 Dial pound 250.

01:31:48.780 Say the keyword baby.

01:31:50.280 Pound 250, keyword baby.

01:31:51.640 Or go to pre-born.com slash Beck.

01:31:53.860 Pre-born.com slash Beck.

01:31:57.600 Lou, how are you, my man?

01:31:59.920 Glenn, I'm doing better than I deserve.

01:32:02.080 You know, I tell people at my age, any day above ground is a good day.

01:32:05.960 Yeah, I'm with you on that one.

01:32:08.760 So, do you remember having that conversation where you said the clock is ticking?

01:32:14.220 I do.

01:32:15.140 I remember that, Glenn.

01:32:15.860 I sure do.

01:32:17.040 So, what did you mean by that?

01:32:20.260 Well, look, in the world of national security, the clock is always ticking.

01:32:24.960 What do I mean by that?

01:32:25.880 Well, you know, there are foreign adversaries out there that are very much involved in the research of UAP like we are, just like our country.

01:32:35.360 And what you don't want to do is allow ourselves to get to a point of what we call strategic surprise, right?

01:32:41.140 All of a sudden, you have country X or country Y out there that may not necessarily be friendly to the U.S.

01:32:46.760 And all of a sudden, they find they have a breakthrough, right?

01:32:48.900 So, China has already admitted they have their own UAP program, so does Russia.

01:32:53.400 And what we don't want to do is allow ourselves to fall behind some of our adversaries' capabilities.

01:33:00.540 Now, there's also another part of that conversation, too.

01:33:03.300 What you don't want to do is allow so much time to go by that by the time you are forced to make a decision, all your options you've exhausted.

01:33:14.880 Meaning, let's say that there is an announcement, let's say, later this year that life has been discovered somewhere else off of Earth, right?

01:33:26.800 You don't want to be in a situation as a government where you are caught flat-footed and surprised by that statement.

01:33:33.380 You want to be as proactive as possible.

01:33:35.640 You want to be able to have the conversation, socialize the idea with your citizens.

01:33:41.960 Because, let's face it, governments writ large are – the reason why they have the authority they do is because people have faith and confidence in those institutions, in those governments.

01:33:54.380 And the last place any government wants to be is on their back foot, right, in a situation where they get surprised.

01:34:01.600 And now, like we saw, for example, with the drone incursions that we had back in 2024 up in New Jersey, right?

01:34:10.100 First, the White House says, there's nothing to see here, folks.

01:34:12.800 And they said, well, actually, there is something to see here.

01:34:14.500 Well, actually, they've all been – all of these drones have been coordinated through the FAA.

01:34:18.960 Well, no, they haven't.

01:34:19.740 We don't even know if they're drones at this point.

01:34:22.000 Or the Chinese spy balloon, right, under the Biden administration.

01:34:25.060 That's another case in point where decisions were made on our behalf because we simply didn't want to face the uncomfortable truth that China was sending reconnaissance balloons over, you know, North America, completely unchallenged.

01:34:39.480 So you started this out with, imagine country X or Y.

01:34:48.600 So are you saying that we're possibly facing something from another country?

01:34:55.800 Well, I think all is possible.

01:34:58.180 All cars have to remain on the table until they're not.

01:35:00.860 I think there is enough information to suggest that other countries are heavily invested in this topic.

01:35:06.180 But keep in mind, we've been dealing with this now for decades.

01:35:09.980 And when I say decades, at least eight decades.

01:35:12.520 That's 80 years we've been dealing with this phenomenon.

01:35:16.440 And if you look 80 years ago, where was Russia?

01:35:18.800 Well, you know, we had just – the United States had just entered the atomic age.

01:35:22.460 We had barely broken the sound barrier.

01:35:24.540 No one has been into space.

01:35:26.680 And that means some country secretly was developing this technology and was able to perfect it eight decades ago.

01:35:35.600 So that doesn't make sense, right?

01:35:37.100 If that was the case, this would be considered the worst intelligence failure in the history of our nation, eclipsing that of even 9-11.

01:35:45.120 Because that means for 80 years some country in secret has been developing this technology and, oh, by the way, has been able to deploy it over controlled U.S. airspace, over our sensitive military facilities.

01:35:55.820 And there's not a darn thing we can do about it.

01:35:57.400 So when you look back at this from a temporal aspect or a time aspect, it simply doesn't make sense that all of this, what we're seeing, is Russian or Chinese.

01:36:07.700 It doesn't pass the smell test.

01:36:10.160 You – and you're not the only one that said this – 2027 keeps coming up.

01:36:17.200 And you just said later this year or in 2027.

01:36:21.700 Why is 2027 the year that everybody keeps throwing around?

01:36:26.640 Because it doesn't seem random to me.

01:36:29.720 Everybody seems to be saying 2027.

01:36:31.520 Yeah, I've heard 2027 and I also heard 2036.

01:36:38.100 The capacity in which I heard it, I'd rather not get into.

01:36:41.920 I heard it when I was working with U.S. Space Force.

01:36:45.500 But it was – to me, it seemed more anecdotal.

01:36:49.380 So I'm probably not best suited to answer that time-wise simply because I didn't come up with that time frame.

01:36:57.580 But like you, I heard that as well and, you know, certainly something we need to pay attention to.

01:37:05.300 So the – Laura Trump just came out and said there's a speech for the president to give and he's prepared to give it at some point.

01:37:16.660 Is that a speech?

01:37:17.740 Do you think she's referring to a speech that the – that every president has had?

01:37:23.880 Or is this something that is prepared for this time, do you think?

01:37:28.540 I think it's probably something prepared for this time simply because a lot of presidents were kept in the dark on this topic for a very long time.

01:37:37.180 And I don't think they took it seriously.

01:37:39.400 Certainly this president during his first term, initially when he was asked, kind of laughed it off.

01:37:46.220 And then later, from my understanding, he received some briefings and then took it quite seriously afterwards.

01:37:52.880 But look, it's a very risky topic.

01:37:54.840 You know, any president that makes a public statement about this topic runs a huge risk simply because there's a lot of unknowns.

01:38:02.840 And it's – it has never really been good for one's career necessarily or even the media up until recently to even cover this topic because the amount of stigma and taboo that have been associated purposely, by the way, on this topic, on purpose, our own government created this taboo unnecessarily to give it the flexibility to actually do research.

01:38:25.540 A lot of people are surprised when they find out that AATIP was actually a program in the Pentagon that was studying UFOs.

01:38:32.500 That's what my colleagues and I were told to do.

01:38:35.620 And you said it absolutely correct.

01:38:37.480 I was never a quote-unquote believer.

01:38:40.580 I went to the medical program at University of Miami, and technically I graduated in microbiology and immunology.

01:38:49.620 So the scientific method for me is very important.

01:38:51.960 And also as an intelligence officer, you have to let the facts speak for themselves.

01:38:57.180 However, with that said, there comes a point where you have so much overwhelming evidence and you have some of the most sophisticated capabilities, technologically speaking, in the intelligence community that normally can identify the difference between an F-16 and, let's say, a MiG-25 from 25 miles away.

01:39:15.340 These same sensor systems are being used to collect information on things that, frankly, we don't understand, technologically speaking.

01:39:24.180 These things can outperform anything we have in our inventory, and that is a national security issue.

01:39:29.880 And I believe that our president has been made aware of that, and not just by the Department of War either.

01:39:35.560 There's other elements, the FBI, the intelligence community, even the Department of Energy that all have equity in this topic.

01:39:43.620 One of my researchers said the reason why the government is so afraid of all of this coming out is because if there is technology that we got from someplace else and it was shared with certain companies, then other companies will start suing and saying, well, I didn't get any of that.

01:40:04.020 That's an unfair advantage.

01:40:05.180 Do you think there's anything to that?

01:40:06.760 Yeah, absolutely correct.

01:40:09.480 Yeah, absolutely.

01:40:10.360 Look, there's back, you know, with the military-industrial complex, there's still rules and laws that have to be followed, and you have to have free and fair competition.

01:40:18.480 That is how this system works.

01:40:21.380 And if it turns out that maybe some general somewhere in the halls of the Pentagon gave a company an unfair advantage, you can imagine in 10 years, 20 years, company A becomes a multibillion-dollar aerospace company where company B goes bankrupt, 200 jobs are lost, and investors, you know, lose their investment, right?

01:40:41.200 So there's securities exchange commissions violations.

01:40:44.480 I mean, you could, in theory, rack up not just billions but trillions of dollars' worth of liability and damages.

01:40:51.120 So that is a very real issue.

01:40:53.560 That is absolutely correct.

01:40:54.720 One last thing.

01:40:59.280 What is the – you were on the podcast with me, and you talked about a spiritual element of all of this.

01:41:08.720 That I think you said you walked into a meeting and the scientists were talking about something spiritual, and we didn't really get into it.

01:41:17.420 Can you share that again?

01:41:18.920 Sure.

01:41:21.160 Well, let me just say this, Glenn, if I can.

01:41:23.460 I think ultimately the human experience is a spiritual experience.

01:41:28.660 There's no way around it.

01:41:29.800 You know, a lot of people say that we're humans having a spiritual experience.

01:41:34.560 I tend to think we're spiritual beings having a human experience.

01:41:37.500 But that aside, there were elements in the Pentagon that believed that what we were looking into were actually demons.

01:41:47.340 And there were some fundamentalists that believed that this was all the work of, so to speak, the devil.

01:41:56.060 Now, I can't – between you and me, and I guess now everybody else – I can't necessarily fault them for thinking that.

01:42:04.240 Because if that is their spiritual perspective, then I can understand it.

01:42:09.480 And there are elements certainly within this topic that may scare some people.

01:42:16.180 But I don't know what to be true.

01:42:18.200 Like what?

01:42:18.640 Like, can you tell me –

01:42:20.100 Well, you know, sure.

01:42:22.980 Yeah, there were people in the Pentagon that believed that UFOs – not only did they say they were real, they actually told me to my face and my colleagues, but that we shouldn't be looking into them because they are demons.

01:42:34.940 They're demonic, they are.

01:42:36.360 We know exactly what they are.

01:42:37.980 And, again, some of these people are very, very senior in the intelligence community.

01:42:41.760 Some of them were friends of mine.

01:42:44.220 And although I don't agree with their perspective, look, at the end of the day, I can't prove that they're wrong either.

01:42:50.860 So I respect it.

01:42:52.220 I don't agree with it.

01:42:54.160 But I can respect that fear that this topic brings because –

01:42:59.880 Do you have any idea why they would say something like that?

01:43:02.540 Well, what was told to me point blank was, Lou, have you read your Bible lately?

01:43:09.540 And, you know, I thought I was, you know, pretty familiar with it.

01:43:13.620 Why?

01:43:14.140 And he said, well, then you would know because what we're dealing with are demons and we shouldn't be looking into them.

01:43:18.440 And that was the extent of that conversation I had with a senior leader in the U.S. government.

01:43:23.620 But there were others as well who felt the same way.

01:43:28.780 There's a lot of people that also can point to the Bible and they'll talk about Ezekiel's wheel, right, as being actually an interpretation of an encounter with a UAP. 0.86

01:43:39.980 So I spent some time at the Vatican and I'll tell you, I'll share this.

01:43:44.960 That was kind of interesting and I'll make it quick.

01:43:47.660 There they opened a scroll.

01:43:49.040 It was a very old archman.

01:43:51.620 It was in Latin.

01:43:53.600 And one of the senior academics there at the Vatican said, look, here, read this part.

01:43:59.220 And it talked about eclipus.

01:44:00.840 Eclipus is a Latin word for, like, think of eclipse.

01:44:03.720 And it was the word they were using for the Roman shields because the Roman shields were round and lenticular and they did look, I guess, like suns.

01:44:11.640 And he said, here it is.

01:44:13.620 And this was a discussion between a Roman soldier and a Roman general where they described these flaming Roman shields in the sky that would follow them from battle space to battle space.

01:44:24.480 And so, you know, this is going way back and this is a document that's in the possession of the Vatican itself.

01:44:32.940 So the Vatican has also had a deep interest in this topic.

01:44:37.720 The last pope actually said, I believe, several years ago, that we should not be surprised that life exists and is abundant in the universe.

01:44:47.460 That, you know, God has the ability to create as many species as he wants.

01:44:53.980 And it doesn't necessarily mean that we are any less special.

01:45:00.460 Lou, it's always fascinating to talk to you.

01:45:02.820 We'll keep watching.

01:45:05.580 Thank you so much.

01:45:06.380 All right, God.

01:45:07.120 My honor and privilege.

01:45:08.180 Thank you so much.

01:45:09.320 You bet.

01:45:10.180 Former Pentagon UAP official, the guy who led the search here recently.

01:45:15.200 A lot of the breaking news comes from him, Lou Elizondo.

01:45:19.080 Okay, let me tell you about the International Fellowship.

01:45:23.000 Headlines change every day.

01:45:24.340 Covenants do not.

01:45:25.400 Long before there were cycles or talking points, there was a promise in Genesis that through Abraham's line, all the nations will be blessed.

01:45:32.280 As for Christians, our faith is rooted in that story.

01:45:35.740 And I believe that because of the Judeo-Christian principles, the world has been blessed.

01:45:42.380 Nations have been blessed because of those principles.

01:45:45.260 And those came from the Jewish communities at the very beginning.

01:45:50.500 Jewish communities now around the world are facing rising anti-Semitism and threats and uncertainty.

01:45:55.520 And this is not the time to be silent or passive.

01:45:58.760 It is time to show up in a big way, a tangible way, a meaningful way.

01:46:02.880 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews provides food and shelter and security and emergency aid to vulnerable Jewish families, including Holocaust survivors and those living under constant threat.

01:46:13.260 This is practical compassion, not theory, not politics, but faith put into motion.

01:46:17.540 If your heart's ever been moved by Psalms, by the prophets, by the story of Jesus himself, then you understand our connection to Israel is deep and personal.

01:46:25.400 And now is the moment to protect the Jewish people.

01:46:28.800 Learn how you can bless Israel without getting political and blessed in return. 0.67

01:46:47.540 From the Pilgrims to the Bill of Rights, The American Story, The Beginnings, is an immersive audio series on the founding of America, exclusively for Torch members at glennbeck.com.

01:47:05.040 We just pulled the Torch subscribers in this latest poll.

01:47:14.300 You want to take us through this, Jason?

01:47:17.540 Torch Insider alien poll?

01:47:21.240 I don't have the Torch Insider alien poll.

01:47:23.340 Ricky, do you have that?

01:47:23.900 Oh, you don't?

01:47:24.520 Uh-uh.

01:47:25.000 Okay, so I have it.

01:47:26.440 Yes, aliens are real and they're dangerous, 4%. 0.92

01:47:29.820 28%, yes, aliens are real, but I'm not worried about them.

01:47:36.400 24%, aliens are not real.

01:47:38.140 This is a big distraction from the real news.

01:47:40.500 And 44% say, let me tell you what I really think.

01:47:44.460 And then they follow those with comments.

01:47:46.540 You can read all those comments.

01:47:48.180 I've got to go through those later today and see what people actually think.

01:47:53.240 Did you notice I threw in your theory about the cost of lawsuits, litigation, everything else?

01:48:00.920 And he absolutely was behind that one, Jason.

01:48:04.040 Yeah, I hope I'm not misremembering, but I believe it was one of his main, I guess, one of the guys he looked up to or one of the guys that first brought him into the program, I believe, is the one that said that.

01:48:19.000 And it's a fascinating look because if they did, and let's say some of these companies have, you know, are the reason for like stealth technology, all that stuff.

01:48:28.400 Well, how come this other company didn't get that?

01:48:30.600 Billions of dollars, trillions, maybe.

01:48:33.080 I mean, can you imagine that is, I mean, that is so bizarre that that's what we would be arguing.

01:48:41.020 We find out if aliens are real, that we would immediately go to, hey, I didn't get my share of the alien information and money.

01:48:49.460 I mean, that's really where we head.

01:48:51.020 All right, let me tell you about relief factor.

01:48:53.980 I know a thing, too, about being in pain for years.

01:48:56.460 I suffered from pain in my hands that was so severe, I thought I would never be able to write again.

01:49:03.140 I don't like typing as much as I like actually physically writing.

01:49:08.240 Well, that changed.

01:49:09.640 Thank God.

01:49:10.520 Thank God for relief factor.

01:49:12.480 When you hurt, it's not just an inconvenience.

01:49:15.120 It is personal.

01:49:16.200 It touches everything.

01:49:17.540 Shaking a hand, holding a pen, even simple everyday things.

01:49:20.240 Start to feel like climbing up a hill.

01:49:22.640 I tried to push through it.

01:49:24.380 Most people do, but it doesn't work all the time.

01:49:26.720 Relief factor is an absolute game changer.

01:49:28.800 It was for me.

01:49:29.540 It is a daily supplement designed to support your body's response to inflammation.

01:49:33.400 And for me, it made a huge difference.

01:49:35.920 Over a million people have tried relief factor and two thirds of them have gone on to take more.

01:49:40.280 If pain has started to crowd out the things that you love, whether that's writing, working, or just using your hands without thinking about it,

01:50:18.220 So they stayed for the hope.

01:50:42.120 This is music that was written specifically for May 2nd for Ellis Island.

01:50:58.680 And we are looking for remarkable singers.

01:51:01.920 I mean, I can hire good singers, obviously.

01:51:03.640 We can hire good singers to do this.

01:51:05.120 But this phase of my life, the Torch and everything else, is about empowering people.

01:51:11.360 That's what America is.

01:51:13.200 America is saying, forget about your past.

01:51:16.820 Forget about what everybody else says about you.

01:51:19.500 It doesn't matter who your dad was.

01:51:21.320 It doesn't matter what family you came from.

01:51:23.820 It doesn't matter.

01:51:25.080 What matters is, can you do it now?

01:51:29.000 You want to change your life?

01:51:30.720 Come to America. 0.95

01:51:31.560 That's America.

01:51:33.920 That's the whole thing.

01:51:36.660 We don't care.

01:51:38.040 We don't care.

01:51:38.920 We care who you are today, not where you came from.

01:51:42.860 At least that's the best of us.

01:51:46.160 So I really want to give somebody the opportunity of a lifetime.

01:51:49.360 We're looking for three singers.

01:51:50.940 I heard one today.

01:51:52.380 I haven't listened to any of them, but somebody brought me one today that I thought was really

01:51:57.180 remarkably good.

01:51:59.520 I guarantee you've never heard of her.

01:52:00.940 She probably has never sung before, at least in a big crowd.

01:52:05.940 And we're watching her, and we're going to present these people, the finalists, to the

01:52:11.500 insiders, and they can decide.

01:52:13.520 But we are looking for three people, two females and a male.

01:52:18.620 The one female and a male will sing this song that I just played for you, and then the other

01:52:24.740 female will sing a song in French.

01:52:27.940 But you, I mean, if you want to have the opportunity, and you can sing, but you've never sung professionally

01:52:35.080 or whatever, but that's what you want to do.

01:52:36.780 There's no age limit.

01:54:08.400 They are expensive.

01:54:09.900 Um, but there are a few left.

01:54:11.920 And if you want to, uh, you want to be there, just grab your tickets.

01:54:15.680 I'll be there.

01:54:16.320 And you know, it's just going to be a very small group of people and some VVIPs are going 0.79

01:54:22.320 to be there as well.

01:54:23.100 Glenn Beck.com slash events.

01:54:26.560 Okay.

01:54:27.320 So yesterday, yesterday morning, I get up getting ready to go to church and I turn on the news

01:54:35.980 and I hear that somebody has been shot and killed at Mar-a-Lago trying to, I don't know,

01:54:43.780 kill the president.

01:54:44.480 Um, I, I think this kid had to be disturbed. 0.99

01:54:48.860 I think maybe I'm, I'm just guessing we don't know yet, but I'm guessing this kid was mentally

01:54:54.580 disturbed, uh, and was doing suicide by cop.

01:54:58.840 Um, he clearly was not the brightest.

01:55:01.560 If he wasn't disturbed, he just wasn't the brightest.

01:55:04.200 And I don't say that with glee.

01:55:05.820 I mean, I feel bad for his parents.

01:55:08.340 Um, but, um, you know, he comes into Mar-a-Lago.

01:55:12.180 You're not, I mean, that ain't going to happen, dude.

01:55:13.980 The president wasn't even there.

01:55:16.480 Um, and then he brings a gas can and a shotgun.

01:55:20.140 You're not going to kill a president with a shotgun.

01:55:22.600 You're not going to get that close.

01:55:23.920 What?

01:55:24.480 Anyway.

01:55:25.820 Um, he comes onto the property, he gets through one of the gates, the North gate, as somebody's

01:55:31.020 exiting, he just drives through.

01:55:32.860 Now, how that even that is possible is beyond me, but he gets through, he parks his car,

01:55:39.680 he gets out, he gets a shotgun and a gas can, and he's walking towards Mar-a-Lago.

01:55:46.480 And that's when they spot him and they say, you know, drop, drop your weapons.

01:55:50.720 He puts the gas can down.

01:55:53.120 And then as he's coming back up, he puts the shotgun to his shoulder and he's killed.

01:55:58.680 Now I want to be, want to be sympathetic because human life, yada, yada, but I also want to

01:56:06.040 speak the truth. 0.99

01:56:06.940 You're going to kill the president. 1.00

01:56:08.400 You're going to kill. 1.00

01:56:09.120 And I don't care if it's Barack Obama or Joe Biden, whoever, but the president is, I have 0.99

01:56:13.900 the same rule. 0.99

01:56:15.020 You're going to try to kill the president. 1.00

01:56:17.580 We shoot you. 1.00

01:56:18.860 I don't care what your situation was. 1.00

01:56:21.140 I don't care if you are mentally, uh, you know, incompetent. 0.99

01:56:24.980 I don't care. 0.99

01:56:25.680 We're not going to have a conversation. 0.83

01:56:28.000 You come on, you're a threat. 1.00

01:56:29.900 We kill you. 1.00

01:56:30.780 We shoot you and we kill you. 1.00

01:56:32.560 There's zero tolerance of that because you're not just threatening the life of a president. 1.00

01:56:37.200 You are threatening the constitutional order of the Republic.

01:56:40.840 And that is too important to let slip by and have second thoughts and like, ah, gee, we

01:56:45.680 shouldn't have killed him.

01:56:46.420 No, he came on with a gun. 1.00

01:56:48.620 He wanted to kill the president. 1.00

01:56:50.580 We killed him period. 0.95

01:56:53.980 Now, maybe that's too harsh for the wieners in the audience that are like, I don't know. 1.00

01:56:57.820 I feel so guilty that we won the golden hockey.

01:57:01.120 I don't know what to do. 1.00

01:57:02.520 Shut up. 1.00

01:57:03.780 You're not going to get it anyway. 0.99

01:57:06.940 My question, however, on this is how did this happen again?

01:57:11.940 How did this happen again?

01:57:14.800 I've been to Mar-a-Lago a million times.

01:57:18.620 How, how, how did this happen?

01:57:23.160 I mean, every time I've gone, there is somebody out front of the gate and inside the gate.

01:57:30.460 You have to have a special pass before the gate opens.

01:57:33.660 Okay.

01:57:33.960 So he followed somebody in the gate.

01:57:37.640 That doesn't happen.

01:57:38.900 They have the big pylons that, you know, those things that come out of the ground that will stop a truck.

01:57:45.820 How were those not engaged?

01:57:47.800 How is this happening?

01:57:50.180 And I heard yesterday, as I'm driving in, I'm listening to the news and they said, uh, well, the president, obviously they'll be upping his security.

01:57:58.700 How, how shouldn't his security be at the highest all the time now?

01:58:04.240 Haven't we learned our lesson?

01:58:05.440 There's like, no, nobody should be relaxing.

01:58:07.680 Oh, you know what?

01:58:09.120 We caught the 40, 41st, 41st person trying to kill the president.

01:58:14.080 I'm sure there won't be a 42nd.

01:58:15.880 So let's, let's stop, stop.

01:58:21.580 Okay.

01:58:22.480 Uh, tomorrow there is a new book that is coming out and, uh, the book, uh, the book is, the book is all about God, quite frankly.

01:58:34.720 Um, if there is no God, who's making the decisions of what's right and wrong, who's making the decisions, what's the battle of good and evil.

01:58:43.420 If there is no God, Dennis Prager wrote this and, uh, I wrote the afterward for him.

01:58:50.640 Uh, and he asked if he could be on the show.

01:58:54.860 And so last week he was, uh, we recorded something cause he couldn't do it live because he has, he he's paralyzed from the neck down.

01:59:05.220 And I said to him halfway through the interview, I said, do you have somebody pushing on your diaphragm right now?

01:59:11.040 Cause we had to stop every 20 minutes or so because he would just get winded.

01:59:16.160 And, um, and then this, at one point, this woman, I see the back of her head come up and, and she's like, Dennis, you got to breathe deeper.

01:59:26.060 So I have something to get out.

01:59:28.960 And I said, Dennis, do you have somebody pushing on your diaphragm to have this conversation?

01:59:33.340 And he's like, yeah, I don't have control of my diaphragm.

01:59:35.920 I mean, it was incredible.

01:59:38.340 And I talked to him about everything.

01:59:41.200 I talked to him about God.

01:59:42.340 I talked to him about current politics.

01:59:44.140 I talked to him about his attitude.

01:59:46.680 I mean, it's incredible.

01:59:48.980 And I asked him, and it was hard because as I'm doing this interview and Ricky just said this, as we were talking about it before we got on, Ricky said, I felt like I was watching history as I'm watching this.

02:00:05.900 I feel like I was watching history.

02:00:07.100 I felt the same way.

02:00:08.020 And, and it was really difficult because I love Dennis Prager.

02:00:13.360 And I said, you know, a lot of people, Dennis feel like, how could God, how could God do this?

02:00:23.580 The same time Charlie Kirk's voice is wiped out, your voice is almost entirely wiped out to icons.

02:00:33.000 How could God let this happen?

02:00:35.400 Listen to his answer.

02:00:38.020 Well, I, I have an answer to that.

02:00:41.080 And I wrote it decades before Charlie and decades before my accident of November 12th, 20, uh, 2024.

02:01:00.240 I wrote it then.

02:01:01.720 If you, if you, you have to deal with the problem of tragedy and evil before it affects you, I'll give you a great example.

02:01:19.420 A woman once called my radio show and she began as follows, Dennis, I've always disagreed with you about capital punishment.

02:01:31.480 I, I am, I was against it and you were, uh, adamantly for it, but I've, I've changed.

02:01:41.700 And I said, gee, why is that?

02:01:45.140 And she said, because my brother was murdered.

02:01:51.540 And of course I offered her condolences, but that's not all I offered.

02:01:57.500 I offered, I offered a critique and I said, so when other people's brothers were murdered, that, that didn't register in your thinking about God.

02:02:15.280 And, uh, yeah, it took, uh, it took a tragedy in your life.

02:02:25.740 What people need to do is to confront these things before it befalls them.

02:02:33.820 Almost everybody will have tragedy in their lives, alienated children, cancer, uh, it's, it's endless.

02:02:47.400 Uh, and of course, hatred.

02:02:52.120 You.

02:02:58.340 You will learn so much from this podcast.

02:03:02.120 We are releasing it early.

02:03:03.460 Normally we release it for, uh, the insider family on Thursday.

02:03:07.440 We're releasing it tomorrow.

02:03:09.000 His book is coming out, uh, tomorrow.

02:03:12.440 And, uh, obviously he can't go out.

02:03:16.440 And, uh, do a book tour.

02:03:18.040 So I really.

02:03:22.120 A I've read the book cause I've, I wrote the afterward.

02:03:25.500 I read the book.

02:03:26.780 It is.

02:03:27.700 You'll learn so much from it.

02:03:29.400 It is so good.

02:03:31.500 It's like Charlie Kirk on steroids.

02:03:34.200 It's a conversation between him and the youth of America.

02:03:39.760 It's remarkable.

02:03:41.520 It is remarkable.

02:03:43.080 I'm, I'm not asking you to do me a favor.

02:03:45.440 I'm telling you, you're going to want this book, but I am asking you by the book.

02:03:50.540 It's a way to show Dennis, thank you for everything you've done for me, my family, for our country.

02:04:05.640 And I know we all feel exactly the same way.

02:04:08.140 So get the book, wherever books are sold, you can, you can get that.

02:04:14.480 It's, um, if there is no God by Dennis Prager, and I'll have more on the interview on tomorrow's broadcast.

02:04:22.320 All right.

02:04:24.100 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

02:04:25.740 It's Mercury one.

02:04:27.160 You've heard about disaster relief, the helicopters, the food, the supplies, and that's incredible.

02:04:32.320 But there's another part of humanitarian, uh, work that, that few people talk about.

02:04:37.140 It's what happens after the crisis is passed, passed, and the cameras are all gone and the world has moved on.

02:04:46.180 I gave a goal of Mercury one 15 years ago.

02:04:50.420 Let's restore the human spirit.

02:04:53.080 And that means it doesn't stop when the floodwaters recede.

02:04:57.660 It's not just about rescuing families on day one.

02:05:00.560 It's about helping them being there for when they're rebuilding on day 100 day 1000 Mercury one partners with face-based faith-based organizations and local communities to provide ongoing support from disaster to recovery.

02:05:16.500 We've assisted persecuted religious minorities all over the world.

02:05:20.560 We help veterans and their families to preserve the true story of America's founding principles as well.

02:05:26.760 When you support Mercury one, you're not just responding to a single moment of crisis.

02:05:31.380 You're investing in a long road back to America. 0.67

02:05:35.440 You're helping communities stand again, not just survive.

02:05:38.980 The next crisis is coming.

02:05:40.960 Hopefully it doesn't come now because, uh, our disaster relief, uh, has been defunded as, as has DHS boy, what perfect timing can that be Democrats.
