00:00:25.160 Visit flyporter.com and actually enjoy economy.

00:00:30.000 Let me tell you about American Financing, our sponsor for the Blaze this half hour.

00:00:33.100 The average American is finding it difficult to pay expenses every month.

00:00:36.920 And in most cases, there's nothing left to cover any extras.

00:00:41.860 Most are not getting a big raise.

00:00:44.520 And with expenses being so high, it can be hard to manage without grabbing the credit cards.

00:00:48.500 And when you do, if you are sitting behind the eight ball of one of these credit cards that is charging you 20, 25, 30 percent, my gosh, even 18 percent.

00:00:57.960 If you can get that down into the, you know, low single digits, even mid single digits, you're going to save a ton of money.

00:01:06.340 In fact, the average person from this listening audience, just like you, they're saving about $800 a month.

00:01:14.060 That would free you up from an awful lot.

00:01:16.520 There's no upfront fees.

00:01:17.980 There's no obligation.

00:01:19.280 You just call them.

00:01:20.000 Find out how much money you could be saving every month.

00:01:22.300 It's American Financing, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

00:01:28.920 Go to AmericanFinancing.net.

00:01:30.920 That's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:01:52.300 Down the road where shadows hide.

00:02:19.040 Feel the dark on every side.

00:02:21.660 Stand your ground when times get down, gotta face the dog and embrace the fire.

00:02:28.980 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:02:33.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:38.960 Hello, America.

00:02:40.700 You know, when I was a kid, we used to play cowboys and Indians because we were convinced the cowboys were good and the Indians were bad.

00:02:47.140 Well, that's not true historically.

00:02:49.640 Parts of it are true.

00:02:50.740 Sometimes the cowboys were the good guys and sometimes the Indians were the good guys.

00:02:55.740 But things are not as gray sometimes as everybody wants it to be.

00:03:01.980 We can, you know, pretty easily see the difference between the good guys and the bad guys.

00:03:07.980 And that's what's happening with immigration.

00:03:10.140 But nobody's really defining that.

00:03:11.880 I want to make something really, really crystal clear on what's happening with Colombia.

00:03:18.000 I'll explain in 60 seconds.

00:03:19.820 First, if you see your dog today, you might want to thank him because he didn't eat you last night.

00:03:25.840 If, you know, if he got hungry, he didn't do that.

00:03:27.900 And with me, it's tempting for my dog.

00:03:30.580 But your dog should be eating whatever you put in the bowl.

00:03:33.820 And that could be plain old kibble food.

00:03:36.020 But his body is telling him, that's not giving me the stuff that I need.

00:03:40.880 He needs rough greens on top of that kibble food.

00:03:44.180 It's a supplement created by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black specifically to make your pet healthier.

00:03:48.620 Because all of the stuff that's alive is cooked out by law.

00:03:53.500 That kibble food has to sit up on a shelf and not go bad for two, two and a half years.

00:03:58.660 You're going to feed that to your kids?

00:04:00.020 Enzymes, omega oils, antioxidants, probiotics, vitamins, everything your dog needs to improve his coat, digestion, his energy, and you'll have fewer vet bills.

00:04:11.020 Let 2025 bring a new year and a new pet.

00:04:13.420 Get the Jumpstart trial bag.

00:04:31.380 So good, your pet will ask for it by name.

00:04:34.740 Hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stubergeer.

00:04:38.340 Glenn, how are you this morning?

00:04:39.780 Oh, I'm good.

00:04:40.500 I'm good.

00:04:41.660 You know, I was interested last night with the Colombian president's daughter.

00:04:46.940 Ooh.

00:04:47.160 Who?

00:04:49.640 Well, she decided she was going to throw some shade Donald Trump's way.

00:04:56.100 Okay.

00:04:56.540 Okay.

00:04:57.260 She was very upset.

00:04:58.980 And she posted last night, for every Colombian deported, we'll return a gringo.

00:05:05.300 And my thought was, all right.

00:05:07.560 I mean, if they're there illegally, I'm fine with that.

00:05:10.160 Anybody have a problem with that?

00:05:11.380 We shouldn't.

00:05:11.960 You shouldn't let them there illegally.

00:05:13.280 If you catch them, that's right.

00:05:14.600 You should just be the deal.

00:05:15.920 Send them back.

00:05:16.480 Yeah.

00:05:16.560 Send back them.

00:05:17.840 So, but actually, what she said was, we'll return a gringo from the Poblado.

00:05:25.260 Now, the Poblado.

00:05:26.660 It's a pepper.

00:05:27.300 It's like, it's not super spicy.

00:05:28.980 No.

00:05:29.420 It's the Poblado.

00:05:30.260 The Poblado is the red light district.

00:05:34.160 Oh.

00:05:34.540 In Columbia.

00:05:35.640 And apparently, if you do any research for like five seconds, you'll see that, you know, maybe she has a point on this.

00:05:46.340 And it's one I'm in full agreement on a few months ago.

00:05:51.360 I think it was last April, a 36-year-old American caught in a hotel room in Poblado with two underage girls.

00:05:59.880 One was 12.

00:06:00.700 One was 12.

00:06:01.560 One was 13.

00:06:03.780 Now.

00:06:04.420 Okay.

00:06:05.040 Good.

00:06:05.840 Yes.

00:06:06.260 We should, whoever this person is, if that's actually a true story, assuming.

00:06:10.360 It is a true story.

00:06:11.420 Yeah.

00:06:12.260 Then, sure.

00:06:14.120 Send them back here.

00:06:14.820 We'll throw them in prison for you.

00:06:15.940 What do you need?

00:06:16.280 I'd love to throw them in prison.

00:06:17.520 I'd love to throw them in prison.

00:06:19.120 Even though, together, they were 25, Your Honor.

00:06:22.560 Doesn't matter.

00:06:23.220 No.

00:06:23.500 Yeah.

00:06:23.680 You can't add them up.

00:06:24.440 No, you can't.

00:06:25.060 That's something a lot of people in Hollywood didn't really know.

00:06:27.480 That is a rule.

00:06:28.540 That is a rule.

00:06:29.300 Now, there's somebody else that is also, and I think still on the loose in Ohio, but I cannot seem to find a single story on this other than he was charged with this.

00:06:41.380 In Colombia, and they let him go, and now he's back in the United States, and if he's guilty of this crime, he should be returned.

00:06:48.960 Okay?

00:06:49.940 You know, if he was in the hotel room with a 12 and 13-year-old, and they were, you know, caught with their pants down, so to speak, yeah, he should go to jail.

00:06:58.840 And I prefer that him go to jail in Colombia, because I have a feeling it would be much worse for him than in the United States.

00:07:05.540 But it's up to Colombia.

00:07:07.420 You want him back, and you want to prosecute him?

00:07:09.600 I'm totally cool with that.

00:07:11.380 As long as it's fair and it's, you know, just.

00:07:14.700 You want him for us to do it?

00:07:16.520 I don't really have a problem.

00:07:18.500 You know, I don't think they fare well in prison when they've been hurting little kids.

00:07:23.560 So, either way, I'm totally cool.

00:07:26.760 However, there is a problem in Colombia with sex tourism, and it's really getting bad.

00:07:35.500 There was another guy.

00:07:36.760 He was in Florida.

00:07:38.060 He was a, what do you call it, a pharmacist.

00:07:43.280 And he was caught getting onto a plane going to Colombia.

00:07:46.460 And, you know, he was caught because there's been all kinds of allegations against him.

00:07:52.680 And one of the things that they found on his phone was, you know, him talking to the sex trafficker saying, hey, you know how I like him.

00:07:59.900 I like him under 10, you know.

00:08:02.140 And all of this horrible, horrible stuff.

00:08:04.660 And then negotiating a price.

00:08:05.920 Well, we caught him.

00:08:07.660 Now, again, we caught him here.

00:08:10.160 But if Colombia wants to take care of him, and they, you know, love to do that, I'm all for it.

00:08:18.360 Here in America, this guy will only get 15 years.

00:08:21.680 And I think that's sick.

00:08:23.920 But we are the ones who go on the sex tourism, you know, jaunts.

00:08:32.860 Americans are responsible for a lot of this stuff.

00:08:36.280 And that's got to stop.

00:08:37.940 It's got to stop.

00:08:38.880 So I just wanted to say to the Colombian president's daughter, you're right.

00:08:45.300 You are absolutely right.

00:08:47.100 Send those gringos back.

00:08:49.740 I am so glad that we agree on what we're really talking about here.

00:08:55.620 Criminals that are making our streets and our citizens unsafe who are targeting our women and our children.

00:09:03.880 Amen.

00:09:05.000 Thank you.

00:09:05.860 We are on the same page.

00:09:09.620 So problem solved there.

00:09:11.180 I don't know why everybody's crying about this.

00:09:13.520 Now, there's a problem.

00:09:16.380 We have Ron DeSantis on with us in just a minute from Florida.

00:09:19.720 He's fighting a bunch of rhinos.

00:09:22.440 He's trying to pass a bunch of legislation.

00:09:27.660 He's called for a special session of the Florida House and Senate.

00:09:34.680 And apparently they don't like that.

00:09:36.400 They don't like that.

00:09:37.120 They don't like being called back from their vacation.

00:09:39.160 Oh, cry me a river.

00:09:39.960 They're saying that it's it's not an emergency.

00:09:42.700 And he says, yes, it is.

00:09:43.920 Donald Trump is trying to get these illegals out of our states and we have to do everything we can.

00:09:51.020 And the rhinos, the ones who are running, basically the ones who are running for his job and the ones that, you know, haven't been so helpful to him recently.

00:10:03.180 They're the ones that are really slowing things down.

00:10:05.340 But we're going to talk to him about that.

00:10:07.880 But you have CNN going into Chicago and reporting all the sad, sad news, all the sad news yesterday.

00:10:16.500 Oh, my gosh.

00:10:17.640 We have Selena.

00:10:18.700 Do we have the audio of Selena?

00:10:20.100 She was so sad.

00:10:21.360 Selena Gomez.

00:10:22.060 Yeah, listen.

00:10:24.060 I just want to say that I'm so sorry.

00:10:30.500 All my people are getting attacked.

00:10:34.360 All these people are getting attacked.

00:10:36.120 And the children.

00:10:37.880 Children, I don't understand.

00:10:40.960 She doesn't understand.

00:10:42.140 I'm so sorry.

00:10:43.540 I wish I could do something, but I can't.

00:10:46.440 I don't know what to do.

00:10:49.800 I'll try everything.

00:10:51.900 You could virtue signal doing that real well.

00:10:56.300 I mean, she's got to have large houses.

00:10:58.900 I would assume that many of these people could come live with her.

00:11:02.100 So she says apparently it's not OK to show empathy for people.

00:11:05.880 And she's wrong there.

00:11:06.720 The ability to understand and share feelings of one another.

00:11:12.380 That that is really, really important.

00:11:15.280 It forces us to put ourselves in the shoes of other people and feel compassion for the situations that they face.

00:11:21.760 It's what Jesus teaches to feel empathy.

00:11:25.300 Now, empathy is a, you know, can be a practical practice, a vital one, even in the political world.

00:11:33.280 You know, in 2021, a column in foreign policy argues, quote, it's harder to persuade a rival to alter its behavior if you don't understand its origins.

00:11:43.200 That's why shutting people up is so bad.

00:11:46.600 You have to talk to each other because we have to understand one another.

00:11:50.540 And when we do, we can solve problems.

00:11:53.460 It's like I just solved that problem with Columbia.

00:11:56.040 I understand where she's coming from.

00:11:58.420 Yeah, we agree.

00:12:00.800 Perfect.

00:12:01.360 It is a little hard to understand where Selena is coming from, but I, you know, I'd invite her on the show to talk it out here.

00:12:09.760 Considering the only deportations occurring right now involve violent criminals who have been charged multiple times with serious crimes.

00:12:17.440 But I digress here.

00:12:19.060 The net of deportations widens.

00:12:22.380 It's going to.

00:12:23.360 And more ordinary migrant families are going to become affected.

00:12:27.920 Maybe even migrants who you interact with in your own life.

00:12:31.700 It shouldn't make you feel wrong when you feel empathy.

00:12:36.020 That doesn't make you wrong.

00:12:37.680 It also doesn't make you a liberal.

00:12:39.760 It should, it should just, you should recognize it and proceed with caution because many, like Selena and television, are really manipulating compassion.

00:12:54.800 They've altered it from a human Christ-like emotion to a political weapon that monopolizes it only for certain groups of sufferers.

00:13:03.500 You know, the term bleeding heart was first associated with liberals in 1938 in a column thanks to Westbrook Pegler.

00:13:12.160 He was a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who had a knack for nicknaming rivals, kind of like Donald Trump.

00:13:18.840 And while bleeding heart liberal isn't quite as catchy as Sleepy Joe or Tampon Tim, which is very good, it still stuck.

00:13:26.600 And it was used again by Joe McCarthy during the Red Scare, then again by Ronald Reagan in the 80s to describe his past Democrat-leaning ways.

00:13:34.240 But what was once considered an insult about the left is now their new mantra.

00:13:40.720 They just, you know, they hung their hats on it.

00:13:42.640 They're like, we're bleeding heart liberals and you are just fascist Nazis.

00:13:46.480 They're the compassionate ones who wanted everybody to have a fair shake.

00:13:51.860 And so do I.

00:13:53.100 So do I.

00:13:54.380 The problem with far-left compassion is it's only reserved for those who serve the political message that they're trying to push.

00:14:03.080 Empathy for everyone?

00:14:04.960 No.

00:14:05.520 No, it can't happen.

00:14:06.300 In fact, empathy for anyone else that is labeled something else is racism, bigotry, homophobia, hatred, just prior unfiltered evil, Hitlerism, whatever.

00:14:19.320 Now, you can have empathy and should have empathy for the black man killed on a subway after a drug-laced tirade against other passengers.

00:14:29.040 But if you're on the left, not the white man who stepped in to help, just the guy who was on drugs and out of control.

00:14:36.300 You can have empathy for the clearly confused transgender teen who was just trying to participate in sports at his, or some would say her, school.

00:14:47.280 But you cannot have that sympathy for the girls, the females, that it affects.

00:14:53.260 You can have empathy for the migrants fearing what deportation will do to their families and their futures,

00:14:58.520 the ones who illegally crossed the border because the cartel-backed kidnappings and assassinations were getting too close to home.

00:15:06.380 But you cannot have empathy for those who have been severely affected by Biden's open border policies,

00:15:12.820 the ones that, you know, you can't have sympathy for anybody who might have lost a teenage daughter,

00:15:18.500 or anybody else in Denver where the gangs are out of control,

00:15:23.860 or the ones who have been jobless for years because migrants are willing to do the same work for less,

00:15:28.720 or the migrant children who have become victims of human trafficking.

00:15:33.400 You cannot, you can't have sympathy for the 300,000 children that the Biden administration lost track of.

00:15:40.160 Don't have sympathy.

00:15:40.940 You don't even talk about them.

00:15:42.180 But I'm here to tell you that you should have sympathy for everybody on all sides.

00:15:48.380 You should have empathy for any side, any person that is affected by this.

00:15:54.000 Real empathy.

00:15:56.520 See, empathy, real empathy has been absent from the left for far too long.

00:16:02.040 And it's caused dangerous situations, you know, on this side of the border, on the other side of the border,

00:16:07.600 for the people who are, you know, getting up on a train and riding a death train to the border.

00:16:14.160 That's, that's insanity.

00:16:15.340 Where's your empathy for those people?

00:16:17.900 So let's be empathetic.

00:16:20.460 But let's not omit the facts and the illegality of those who are crossing the border.

00:16:26.080 As long as you remember that in a situation like mass deportations,

00:16:32.100 while the struggles on both sides may be very real and sad and worthy of compassion,

00:16:38.220 at the end of the day, only one side acted incorrectly.

00:16:44.380 Only one side broke the law.

00:16:47.620 The other side did not.

00:16:50.280 And if you believe in justice, there must be consequences.

00:16:54.640 So, no, Selina, it is okay to show empathy.

00:16:58.840 In fact, we encourage it.

00:17:00.740 In fact, I think our world needs more empathy.

00:17:03.880 As long as the empathy is applied equally to all people affected.

00:17:10.760 As long as your empathy doesn't erase truth.

00:17:16.380 All right, let's talk a little more truth.

00:17:18.360 The Ministry of Preborn is doing more right now to help champion the cause of life

00:17:22.560 than just about anybody else out there.

00:17:24.080 They're able to keep going because of people just like you who give

00:17:27.120 because saving children from abortion actually means something to you.

00:17:32.480 Today, the abortion pill accounts for over 60% of all abortions,

00:17:36.040 and it's available pretty much 24-7.

00:17:38.360 That's why preborn is so important.

00:17:40.460 In addition to what they're doing with free ultrasounds,

00:17:43.060 they're also administrating this protocol for women who have attempted abortion

00:17:46.360 but want it reversed.

00:17:47.800 They have rescued over 300,000 babies from abortion,

00:17:51.320 and every day on average, they rescue another 200.

00:17:55.060 When a woman is considering an abortion,

00:17:56.840 she sees her baby on a screen and hears the heartbeat.

00:18:01.600 The chance at life is doubled.

00:18:03.780 If you have the means, would you help?

00:18:06.120 I mean, $28 sponsors one ultrasound,

00:18:08.620 but if you want a leadership gift,

00:18:36.220 Can we go back to Selena Gomez for a second?

00:18:49.140 By the way, author, artist, fantastic songs.

00:18:53.120 She's great.

00:18:54.280 Wonderful.

00:18:54.700 She's great.

00:18:55.620 But this particular opinion is interesting

00:18:59.060 because it's similar to global warming, for example.

00:19:01.940 You get panicked.

00:19:03.140 I feel like these people just get panicked.

00:19:04.640 You know, she's legitimately, like,

00:19:06.960 legitimately emotional about this.

00:19:08.860 Well.

00:19:09.420 And I think it's true.

00:19:11.100 I totally believe her.

00:19:12.720 She could be.

00:19:13.440 And there's no, there's just no reason to be.

00:19:16.480 Right.

00:19:16.720 I feel empathy for her if she's actually feeling these things.

00:19:20.500 Yeah, sure.

00:19:21.400 She's going through pain she shouldn't have to.

00:19:23.120 But, like, what's actually happened so far?

00:19:25.540 Let me give you a clip.

00:19:26.380 This is from ABC News.

00:19:27.720 This is their, this is the,

00:19:29.120 when you get past all the headlines,

00:19:30.560 this is what's actually occurred so far.

00:19:32.300 Okay, listen.

00:19:32.420 I think with all the immigration stuff that's happening right now,

00:19:34.880 a lot of us don't know what's new and what's normal

00:19:37.640 with everything that's happening.

00:19:38.960 Like, we heard there were a lot of immigration raids

00:19:40.980 here in the U.S. over the weekend.

00:19:43.060 And sure enough, we heard from the Department of Homeland Security

00:19:45.340 that almost 1,000 people were arrested

00:19:47.660 in just one day this weekend.

00:19:49.500 But I guess I'm still wondering,

00:19:51.280 is that more than usual?

00:19:52.540 Is it much, much more than usual?

00:19:54.060 Like, what are we even talking about here?

00:19:55.720 You know, you said it right off the top,

00:19:57.040 where we have seen massive deportations

00:19:59.500 going back to the Obama years.

00:20:01.640 I mean, Obama's nickname within immigration activist circles

00:20:05.600 was deporter-in-chief because he deported so many people.

00:20:08.760 So the idea that the Trump administration

00:20:10.440 is, at least so far, deporting historic numbers,

00:20:13.880 it's simply not true.

00:20:15.020 In fact, at this rate, and things might change,

00:20:17.980 but at this rate,

00:20:18.680 they'd be coming in well under some of the Obama years.

00:20:21.320 Oh, wait a minute.

00:20:22.880 Wait.

00:20:23.720 Hold it.

00:20:24.180 Now, Selena Gomez has been around for a while.

00:20:26.500 She was a child star.

00:20:27.660 I don't remember her having these sort of crying fits

00:20:30.640 at the camera during the Obama administration.

00:20:32.880 No, no.

00:20:33.180 And she's probably too young to remember

00:20:35.540 the 10 million that Bill Clinton deported.

00:20:39.760 Right.

00:20:40.100 I mean, Clinton was even higher than Obama.

00:20:42.380 Right.

00:20:42.620 And that number is important.

00:20:44.920 10 million.

00:20:45.720 That's really important.

00:20:46.880 How did he do it?

00:20:48.220 Mainly through people self-deporting.

00:20:51.060 So what is Donald Trump doing right now?

00:20:53.360 He's sending a message.

00:20:54.800 We're going after and we're deporting people

00:20:57.980 who are here illegally,

00:20:58.960 but we're starting with the really bad guys.

00:21:02.940 Now, if you're hanging out with the really bad guys,

00:21:05.960 you're going home too.

00:21:07.520 He is sending the message to self-deport.

00:21:12.140 That's what he's doing.

00:21:13.640 Exactly like Bill Clinton did.

00:21:15.740 And I don't even remember the Bill Clinton deportation stories.

00:21:19.260 I don't remember them at all.

00:21:21.140 There weren't the tears, Glenn.

00:21:22.300 No, there weren't the tears.

00:21:23.480 We had the, I think we played it yesterday,

00:21:25.360 the Tom Homan clip where he's talking

00:21:28.480 and he's asked a question like,

00:21:30.180 you know, are we going to be seeing this every single day?

00:21:33.020 Yes.

00:21:33.540 Yes.

00:21:34.760 No, but...

00:21:35.480 Just the word yes.

00:21:36.480 I know.

00:21:36.840 And then she asked him three times.

00:21:38.960 No, but seriously.

00:21:40.180 Seriously, every single day?

00:21:41.500 Yes.

00:21:42.180 Yes.

00:21:43.620 Yeah.

00:21:44.260 It's crazy.

00:21:44.900 That's what we need more of.

00:21:45.840 And I think that's what's so satisfying about this first week.

00:21:48.600 It's just, there's a lot of people just answering yes.

00:21:51.360 Yes.

00:21:51.840 That's what we're doing.

00:21:52.880 Yeah.

00:21:53.720 Mayors of Boston, Chicago, Denver, and New York have been called to testify in Congress

00:21:59.020 over their sanctuary city policies.

00:22:01.320 I think this is wonderful.

00:22:04.160 Now, the more red a state gets, the more the purple, squishy Republicans start to squeal.

00:22:14.240 And you're starting to see that in Florida.

00:22:17.900 Ron DeSantis called for a special session of the legislature in Florida,

00:22:24.120 and he wanted to pass really tough and common sense immigration rules.

00:22:31.220 And mainly he wanted to get, make sure that all of the cities participate.

00:22:36.540 Well, the rhinos came out and the rhinos said, yeah, we'll do it.

00:22:41.580 But our borders are, is going to be our agricultural expert.

00:22:48.840 Wait, wait.

00:22:50.480 The guy who's worried about who's picking fruit in the fields,

00:22:55.660 he might not be the best person, might have, I don't know, conflicting interest.

00:23:03.840 But isn't that like rhinos and, and Democrats?

00:23:07.080 They care about who's picking the cotton.

00:23:10.800 This is Glenn Beck.

00:23:13.500 I firmly believe that when you go and do a thing,

00:23:17.520 you should try to do it right the first time, every time,

00:23:20.060 especially if that thing is going to bed and sleeping.

00:23:24.340 Quality of your bedding, really, it matters.

00:23:28.940 This is where Cozy Earth brings something to the table that is just unbelievable.

00:24:37.760 The first hundred days of the Trump administration have been breathtaking,

00:24:55.080 a lot like the early days of Ron DeSantis in Florida.

00:25:00.020 And what he's doing in Florida is trying to get the state to do everything they can

00:25:07.020 to make sure that Trump's policies are going through, especially on illegals.

00:25:13.100 There is a house with these unbelievable rhinos that in a special session,

00:25:19.720 they didn't want to come back because they said it's not an emergency.

00:25:23.020 What are you talking about?

00:25:23.960 Ron DeSantis called for a special session because he said the president was just put in office.

00:25:30.980 I want all of the tools on the table to help him solve this problem.

00:25:36.180 The rhinos said no, and then they started to change everything that he wanted

00:25:42.300 and then have the balls to name it the Trump Act.

00:25:47.500 Really?

00:25:48.240 The Trump Act?

00:25:49.900 And Ron DeSantis, governor, is with us now to tell us a little bit about the Trump Act.

00:25:55.660 Welcome to the program, governor.

00:25:56.780 How are you?

00:25:58.180 I'm doing good.

00:25:58.940 You know, a week ago today we were preparing for a historic snowstorm,

00:26:03.440 and our state record had been four inches.

00:26:05.380 We actually hit last week 10 inches of snow in northwest Florida in Milton.

00:26:10.300 You saw the beaches covered in snow, so it's kind of an interesting period for Florida.

00:26:14.440 Where's the global warming when you need it, right?

00:26:18.960 Okay, so tell me about, because what I've seen,

00:26:22.580 just what's happening with Wilton Simpson is an abomination.

00:26:27.900 Tell me who you're fighting and what you're fighting against and for.

00:26:32.680 Well, you hit it on the head.

00:26:35.640 They didn't want to do anything on illegal immigration.

00:26:39.180 And after the election, I said, this is our chance.

00:26:42.340 This is the number one issue the president ran on, and we need to get it right.

00:26:46.920 And so there's no way President Trump can fulfill his mandate

00:26:50.780 if the state and local governments and law enforcement

00:26:53.900 are not actively supporting his deportation efforts.

00:26:57.540 I mean, think about it.

00:26:58.160 He's come out of the gate strong.

00:26:59.480 But they've done about probably 700, 800 arrests on average a day.

00:27:05.160 Let's just say 1,000.

00:27:06.580 Well, extrapolate that out, 365,000 a year times four.

00:27:11.020 Biden let in 10 million illegals on his own.

00:27:13.500 Now, I do think the Trump administration will ramp up.

00:27:16.000 I think they'll get better numbers as time goes on.

00:27:18.540 But if you just had every red state, say all police departments,

00:27:22.340 all sheriff's departments, all state agents, law enforcement agencies,

00:27:24.920 have to participate maximally in the programs that the Trump administration's offering

00:27:30.420 for immigration enforcement, you would increase those numbers dramatically.

00:27:35.280 And that is what we have to do.

00:27:37.280 We've got to be ready to go.

00:27:39.040 We've got to work hand in glove.

00:27:40.460 Now, what you'll have in California and in Chicago,

00:27:43.380 they're going to be trying to sabotage Trump's agenda.

00:27:46.260 They're going to be sanctuary jurisdictions.

00:27:47.880 Now, we don't allow that in Florida.

00:27:49.160 But I think most states who are not sanctuary, they're just going to say,

00:27:53.460 hey, it's the federal government's responsibility.

00:27:55.460 Yeah, we won't sabotage it, but we're not going to be in that fight.

00:27:58.520 I don't think that's adequate.

00:28:00.180 This is a historic moment for this country.

00:28:03.080 We've been talking about this issue for decades.

00:28:06.060 Yes, Trump is absolutely right by going after the cartels

00:28:09.100 and designating them foreign terrorist organizations.

00:28:11.700 Obviously, we need to build the wall and fortify the border.

00:28:14.780 But you have this massive problem of interior enforcement.

00:28:17.780 And so that's what we're proposing,

00:28:20.420 as well as other things that are important.

00:28:22.860 Legislature didn't want to do it.

00:28:24.240 I called the special session against their wishes.

00:28:26.520 They said it was premature, that it could wait.

00:28:28.520 But, you know, they got blowback from their constituents.

00:28:30.840 So they thought if they came in,

00:28:32.820 gutted with the enforcement of doing what we need to do

00:28:36.060 and just name it the Trump Act,

00:28:38.320 that somehow they would be able to get away with that.

00:28:41.240 Obama named Obamacare the Affordable Care Act.

00:28:44.640 Obviously, it wasn't affordable.

00:28:45.940 Biden named his spending boondoggle,

00:28:48.340 the Inflation Reduction Act.

00:28:50.400 Obviously, that didn't work out.

00:28:52.000 So they're playing this game where they think

00:28:54.080 if they put Trump's name on a weak bill,

00:28:56.860 that somehow people would think it's going to be good.

00:28:58.720 And it's totally inadequate.

00:29:00.080 But here's the thing, Glenn.

00:29:01.520 Before I became governor,

00:29:03.540 Florida was very weak on illegal immigration.

00:29:06.440 And part of it was they thought

00:29:07.720 because Hispanic population here,

00:29:09.640 you had to be.

00:29:10.280 I proved that wrong

00:29:11.360 because I was the strongest governor

00:29:12.900 and I had a record Hispanic vote in 2022.

00:29:15.800 So that was wrong.

00:29:16.800 But then you do have this desire

00:29:18.740 for cheap, illegal alien labor

00:29:21.540 in some of these industries.

00:29:22.700 And I think that's what these guys

00:29:24.420 are trying to preserve.

00:29:26.800 I don't think they want to see

00:29:28.560 immigration enforcement

00:29:30.380 the way you would need to

00:29:31.680 to fulfill President Trump's mandate.

00:29:34.040 So they made it sound like initially

00:29:35.800 it was a difference of opinion on timing.

00:29:37.880 But understand what they're proposing.

00:29:40.400 It's a difference of values.

00:29:42.360 The values that we all ran on,

00:29:44.840 that Donald Trump got elected on,

00:29:46.500 that all your listeners subscribe to,

00:29:49.420 those are reflected in the proposals that I did.

00:29:52.620 They are not reflected

00:29:53.900 in what the Florida legislative leaders are doing.

00:29:56.860 And you mentioned

00:29:57.420 the Commissioner of Agriculture.

00:29:58.840 They're actually taking away

00:30:00.200 immigration enforcement authority

00:30:01.760 from the governor

00:30:02.480 and putting it in the Commissioner of Agriculture.

00:30:05.480 It's just like the fox guarding the hen house.

00:30:08.860 They don't want to enforce it.

00:30:10.060 Are you kidding me?

00:30:11.200 And even stripping some of the things I have now,

00:30:13.560 like E-Verify,

00:30:14.480 they want to put that over there.

00:30:16.140 So it's a really, really bad product.

00:30:18.220 And here's the thing.

00:30:19.520 I think some of them are caught up in,

00:30:21.380 oh, well, we don't want the governor

00:30:22.480 to get the win.

00:30:23.560 You know, we're sick of him

00:30:24.520 always doing all this stuff.

00:30:26.080 I don't need pride of ownership.

00:30:28.220 They can take 100% of the credit.

00:30:30.240 I just want to get the job done.

00:30:32.060 And if we're not doing

00:30:33.360 what needs to be done right now

00:30:35.600 to get ready for this,

00:30:37.460 then, you know,

00:30:38.160 there'll be some successes.

00:30:39.500 Don't get me wrong,

00:30:40.360 but we're not going to be able

00:30:41.420 to actually deliver

00:30:42.580 on the mandate

00:30:43.520 that the voters gave us.

00:30:44.760 And here, just the final point I make,

00:30:47.240 Republicans all run

00:30:48.820 for four years in Florida.

00:30:50.200 They all ran

00:30:51.120 on cashing Biden's border policies,

00:30:54.180 saying we needed to get tough,

00:30:55.940 supporting Donald Trump's agenda in 2024.

00:30:58.360 They all ran on that.

00:31:00.060 Not one Republican ran and said,

00:31:01.900 you know what, we just need to give it all

00:31:03.660 to the commissioner of agriculture.

00:31:05.640 You know, state and local

00:31:06.580 shouldn't be required

00:31:08.140 to help the federal government.

00:31:09.700 They wouldn't do any of that.

00:31:11.060 And now they're bragging

00:31:12.400 about they're going to spend money

00:31:14.520 on giving beds for illegals.

00:31:17.800 I don't want to house the illegals.

00:31:19.520 I want to deport the illegals.

00:31:22.020 It is remarkable to me.

00:31:23.640 I mean, first of all,

00:31:24.280 Wilton Simpson,

00:31:25.140 he wants to be governor.

00:31:26.440 When you're not governor,

00:31:27.320 he's going to run in the next cycle.

00:31:29.560 He's compromised.

00:31:30.180 He he is the guy supported

00:31:32.680 giving in-state tuition

00:31:33.840 to illegal aliens.

00:31:35.040 He gave the cutout for E-Verify.

00:31:37.500 So agriculture didn't have

00:31:39.380 to worry about it.

00:31:40.420 Refused to provide

00:31:41.400 law enforcement resources

00:31:42.780 during the original border crisis.

00:31:45.380 This guy is is not a helper

00:31:48.540 when it comes to doing the things

00:31:50.280 that Americans have just said

00:31:51.560 they want to be done.

00:31:53.180 Who is who is also?

00:31:56.400 I mean, I'm just looking up.

00:31:57.820 Uh, you've got, uh,

00:31:59.800 the Senate president, uh,

00:32:01.540 Ben, uh, all Britain house speaker,

00:32:04.320 Daniel Perez.

00:32:05.060 They seem to be in the same boat,

00:32:07.320 uh, as Wilton Simpson,

00:32:09.440 who needs the pressure.

00:32:11.880 Well, look, I think that,

00:32:13.460 that just the,

00:32:14.060 all the legislators,

00:32:15.120 uh, you know,

00:32:16.300 they're just,

00:32:16.720 they just need to hear

00:32:17.320 from their constituents

00:32:18.140 and they're getting upset

00:32:19.300 saying that somehow,

00:32:20.620 like they're getting threatened

00:32:21.920 because some of their constituents

00:32:23.200 are telling them

00:32:24.180 that this is not right,

00:32:25.140 but that they need to be

00:32:26.360 held accountable

00:32:26.960 for their actions.

00:32:27.780 And if what they did,

00:32:29.180 if what they're doing

00:32:30.280 is consistent

00:32:30.960 with what they told

00:32:31.780 the voters they were doing,

00:32:32.980 they're not going to have

00:32:33.900 any problem, right?

00:32:35.000 But I'll tell you, Glenn,

00:32:35.920 I've been doing this

00:32:36.980 now for six years.

00:32:38.660 This, I've never seen

00:32:39.900 our base react

00:32:41.320 more negatively

00:32:42.100 on an issue

00:32:43.160 than what the legislature

00:32:44.420 is trying to pull right now.

00:32:46.000 It is like 99 to one,

00:32:48.020 uh, in terms of opposition.

00:32:50.120 So, uh, I think sunlight's

00:32:52.360 the best disinfectant.

00:32:53.520 Uh, people just have to

00:32:54.840 make their voice heard,

00:32:55.900 but, but we shouldn't

00:32:57.000 let this slip

00:32:57.800 through our fingertips.

00:32:58.680 I think some of it is,

00:33:00.160 you know, some inside

00:33:01.140 baseball up there,

00:33:02.340 you know, Wilton Simpson

00:33:03.340 was the Senate president.

00:33:05.100 Um, a lot of the stuff,

00:33:06.460 uh, tough immigration policies

00:33:07.940 we did two years ago,

00:33:09.020 I wasn't able to get through

00:33:10.280 when he was Senate president,

00:33:11.720 uh, because he did block it

00:33:13.160 and he did support things

00:33:14.120 like driver's licenses

00:33:15.120 for illegals

00:33:15.840 when he was in the Florida Senate,

00:33:17.320 but I, but he really exercises

00:33:19.000 a lot of, uh, influence

00:33:21.080 over the Florida Senate.

00:33:22.480 So the fact that he was

00:33:23.680 put into that bill,

00:33:24.800 uh, I don't think

00:33:25.820 that that was an accident.

00:33:26.740 I think that that was

00:33:27.700 definitely something

00:33:28.420 that they were trying to do.

00:33:29.900 And, um, I,

00:33:31.020 does it even pass

00:33:31.820 the last test that knows,

00:33:33.860 no state has been

00:33:34.800 more active in, uh,

00:33:36.860 fighting illegal immigration

00:33:38.080 over the last,

00:33:38.680 over Biden's term than me,

00:33:40.040 than Florida and me.

00:33:41.120 We've had people at the border.

00:33:42.760 We did the, uh,

00:33:43.380 Martha's Vineyard

00:33:44.240 and other transport.

00:33:45.300 We, we enacted

00:33:46.200 a mandatory verify.

00:33:47.420 We've done all these things.

00:33:48.920 And then you want to

00:33:50.080 take all that away

00:33:51.220 and give it to the

00:33:51.880 ag commissioner

00:33:52.580 and create some

00:33:53.500 new crazy bureaucracy.

00:33:55.380 They don't even have the,

00:33:56.700 they don't have the

00:33:57.380 infrastructure for

00:33:58.280 in the first place.

00:33:59.040 It would all have to be

00:34:00.140 rebuilt in the ag department.

00:34:01.840 Am I right about that

00:34:02.860 or wrong?

00:34:03.880 Exactly.

00:34:04.460 And the way the bill's written,

00:34:05.820 you know,

00:34:06.140 we think it's unconstitutional

00:34:07.580 because it actually

00:34:08.500 takes away

00:34:09.460 some of the core

00:34:10.720 executive power

00:34:11.740 that is vested

00:34:12.480 in the governor's office

00:34:13.600 under Florida's constitution.

00:34:15.180 So it's constitutionally suspect.

00:34:17.600 It's also, uh,

00:34:18.660 as a policy matter,

00:34:19.820 it is not going to work.

00:34:21.400 And here's the thing.

00:34:22.640 If their proposals

00:34:23.840 were consistent

00:34:25.460 with what they campaigned on

00:34:26.520 and what actually work

00:34:27.640 and, and, and,

00:34:28.900 and they had competing,

00:34:30.060 hey, if it works,

00:34:31.320 it works.

00:34:31.820 Their proposals

00:34:32.500 will not work.

00:34:33.400 I mean, think of even

00:34:34.080 this issue.

00:34:35.440 It needs to be a crime

00:34:37.560 for illegals

00:34:38.360 to register to vote.

00:34:39.360 We've been trying

00:34:39.840 to do this for years.

00:34:40.780 That was in my proposals.

00:34:42.080 They're not including that.

00:34:43.540 So illegals can register

00:34:45.240 in Florida

00:34:45.740 under their proposal.

00:34:47.320 Uh, and they're not requiring

00:34:49.020 to sign an affidavit

00:34:50.200 that they're U S citizen,

00:34:51.520 which our constitution requires.

00:34:53.240 And there's no penalty.

00:34:54.640 Well, guess what, Glenn?

00:34:55.800 If you, if you let them register

00:34:57.940 by the time they vote,

00:34:59.560 even if you prosecute them

00:35:01.060 after the fact,

00:35:01.860 the vote counts.

00:35:02.760 The time to stop it

00:35:04.320 is when they try to register

00:35:05.740 in the first place.

00:35:06.580 And yet they're not doing

00:35:07.620 anything about that.

00:35:08.960 We have in our proposals

00:35:10.260 a rebuttable presumption

00:35:12.040 that illegals that get brought up

00:35:13.520 on criminal charges

00:35:14.560 are detained

00:35:15.940 and then turned over to ICE.

00:35:18.100 They watered that down

00:35:19.380 so that judges

00:35:20.040 are just going to release

00:35:20.940 these guys back on the street.

00:35:23.000 So it's a lack of seriousness

00:35:24.500 about what it really takes

00:35:26.640 to get this issue right.

00:35:28.880 And I can tell you this,

00:35:30.320 when they proposed

00:35:31.400 their so-called Trump Act,

00:35:33.020 misnamed Trump Act,

00:35:34.420 Democrats in the Florida Senate

00:35:36.240 were high-fiving that.

00:35:37.920 Liberal media in Florida

00:35:39.300 have been singing their praises.

00:35:40.860 The ACLU of Florida

00:35:43.040 tweeted,

00:35:44.680 thank you for what you're doing.

00:35:47.100 I can tell you this, Glenn,

00:35:48.500 when we banned sanctuary cities,

00:35:51.060 Democrats were not

00:35:52.140 high-fiving anyone.

00:35:53.360 When we eliminated DEI

00:35:55.200 a couple years ago,

00:35:56.660 no Democrats were

00:35:57.660 high-fiving anyone.

00:35:58.860 When we eliminated

00:35:59.920 the woke,

00:36:01.440 when we did the

00:36:02.480 stop the gender insanity,

00:36:04.220 when we did all those things

00:36:05.520 that Florida became famous for,

00:36:07.640 no Democrats were high-fiving.

00:36:09.380 No media was singing our praises.

00:36:11.500 The ACLU was not in our corner.

00:36:13.820 So if this is really

00:36:15.180 a tough immigration proposal,

00:36:17.480 then why are these people

00:36:19.360 on the left embracing it?

00:36:21.440 I have to tell you, Ron,

00:36:22.680 this is the one thing

00:36:23.760 that has stopped me

00:36:24.460 from moving to Florida.

00:36:25.880 I promised my wife

00:36:26.920 that someday

00:36:27.740 we'd live on the water.

00:36:29.360 And so the only option

00:36:30.980 for me really is Florida

00:36:32.460 because it's a free state

00:36:34.020 and it's a great state

00:36:35.080 and you're the governor.

00:36:36.040 But I worry about you

00:36:39.340 when you leave.

00:36:40.800 What are these stupid

00:36:41.960 Republicans going to do?

00:36:44.120 And honestly,

00:36:45.500 I just,

00:36:46.660 if we don't get

00:36:48.760 all of these weasels out

00:36:51.340 and get the people in

00:36:53.380 that actually believe

00:36:55.260 in what we're trying to do,

00:36:57.820 the state's going to go back

00:36:59.240 to the same wishy-washy garbage

00:37:01.080 that makes it a garbage state

00:37:02.940 as it always has.

00:37:03.980 You guys have led the way

00:37:06.460 and it's the reason

00:37:07.620 why you're leading

00:37:08.700 the United States right now

00:37:10.660 because you're doing

00:37:11.820 what the people are asking for.

00:37:13.960 These guys who don't get it, man,

00:37:15.780 they should be on notice.

00:37:16.960 I, like you,

00:37:18.000 have never seen

00:37:19.480 the Republican voters

00:37:21.860 as awake

00:37:22.840 as they are right now.

00:37:24.620 They know what they want.

00:37:25.940 They see what's happening

00:37:27.020 in Washington.

00:37:27.700 They see what's happening

00:37:28.640 in Florida.

00:37:29.360 And if you are a voter

00:37:30.700 in Florida,

00:37:31.680 you need to get on the phone

00:37:33.120 because your state's

00:37:34.620 going to go to trash

00:37:35.640 the minute this guy leaves

00:37:37.340 if you don't have people

00:37:39.740 that understand

00:37:40.980 what and believe

00:37:43.060 and will execute

00:37:45.040 what you want to happen.

00:37:47.600 You need to get on the phone

00:37:48.780 right now

00:37:49.300 and call your Florida representative.

00:37:51.960 By the way,

00:37:52.520 we have Sheriff Wayne Ivey

00:37:53.880 on with us, Governor,

00:37:54.760 in just a few minutes.

00:37:55.680 I think he's going to be

00:37:57.340 kind of telling the story

00:37:58.320 about what you're actually

00:37:59.380 looking for, isn't he?

00:38:01.320 Yeah, look, I mean,

00:38:02.300 people like Wayne,

00:38:03.440 they want to solve the problem.

00:38:05.020 And so they want to participate

00:38:06.180 in these federal programs.

00:38:07.800 Not everyone wants to do that,

00:38:09.360 which is why we have to

00:38:10.420 make it an expectation

00:38:11.460 that all police departments

00:38:13.100 and sheriff's departments

00:38:14.000 want to do it.

00:38:14.700 But just think about,

00:38:15.840 yes, we focus on criminal aliens

00:38:17.500 and that's important.

00:38:18.860 But I want to get these guys

00:38:20.120 before they commit crimes.

00:38:21.580 I want to make sure

00:38:22.340 our schools aren't overrun

00:38:23.660 with illegals.

00:38:24.340 I want to make sure

00:38:24.980 our health care system

00:38:26.400 isn't overrun.

00:38:27.160 I want to make sure

00:38:27.820 that illegals aren't getting

00:38:29.300 into accidents

00:38:30.040 and they don't have insurance

00:38:31.040 and then you're out of luck.

00:38:32.200 So there's so many ways

00:38:33.700 that this problem

00:38:35.020 impacts our society.

00:38:37.220 And unless we get it right

00:38:39.180 on enforcement right now

00:38:40.800 under Donald Trump's leadership,

00:38:42.760 we're never going to solve

00:38:43.960 this problem.

00:38:44.840 And the quality of life

00:38:45.860 is going to increase dramatically.

00:38:47.800 And look,

00:38:48.180 you talked about Florida,

00:38:49.580 you know,

00:38:49.780 what's going to happen

00:38:50.400 in the future.

00:38:50.780 I can tell you this.

00:38:51.600 I came in,

00:38:52.800 I was bold.

00:38:54.020 They told me that was a mistake

00:38:55.380 because it was a 50-50 state,

00:38:56.940 but we were bold.

00:38:57.820 We delivered results.

00:38:59.380 There was a sharp contrast

00:39:00.620 between us and the left.

00:39:02.540 And we've had more political success

00:39:04.200 in Florida

00:39:04.820 than Republicans have ever had.

00:39:07.100 When you water down,

00:39:08.880 when you do the corporatism,

00:39:10.820 where you're not standing

00:39:11.800 for working people,

00:39:12.900 but you're worried about things

00:39:13.920 like cheap labor,

00:39:14.660 when you do that,

00:39:16.020 you will lose political support.

00:39:18.200 That's the lifeline.

00:39:19.260 I think the reason

00:39:19.860 the Democrats were high-fiving

00:39:21.420 is because they see

00:39:23.220 the leaders in the legislature,

00:39:25.420 they're giving them a lifeline

00:39:26.900 to regain relevance in Florida.

00:39:29.300 They're giving them a pathway

00:39:30.360 where they can return

00:39:31.880 to power in the future.

00:39:34.240 When you,

00:39:34.940 we have beat the left.

00:39:36.200 We weren't trying

00:39:36.820 to high-five them.

00:39:38.260 We've beat them

00:39:38.960 on issue after issue.

00:39:40.640 That's why they've been

00:39:41.520 rendered irrelevant.

00:39:43.180 And the formula

00:39:45.200 is very clear.

00:39:45.800 And even look at

00:39:46.440 the national election.

00:39:48.180 Donald Trump was bold

00:39:49.280 and he was rewarded.

00:39:50.660 I've got to run,

00:39:51.620 but it's so great

00:39:52.620 to talk to you.

00:39:53.240 Keep up the good fight.

00:39:54.140 Governor Ron DeSantis.

00:40:01.180 is to regularly get

00:40:02.220 a good night's sleep.

00:40:03.460 It sounds pretty simple.

00:40:58.180 about the meaning

00:40:58.880 of the word retarded

00:43:16.220 I was talking to somebody

00:43:17.420 about empathy

00:43:18.120 just the other day,

00:43:19.360 you know,

00:43:19.860 and I said,

00:43:32.360 Brave the Dark,

00:43:32.980 see it.

00:43:33.360 This is Glenn Beck.

00:43:34.920 There's a lot going on

00:43:36.000 again today.

00:43:37.400 President Trump

00:43:38.080 has just frozen

00:43:38.880 all federal grants

00:43:40.400 and loans

00:43:41.040 as effective

00:43:42.060 as 5 p.m. today.

00:43:46.920 let me tell you

00:43:47.240 about Patriot Mobile.

00:43:48.440 Being part of

00:43:51.160 is so important.

00:43:52.660 I mean,

00:43:54.160 we have been trying

00:43:56.260 to do this

00:43:56.760 for years now

00:43:57.620 and places like

00:43:58.880 Angel Studios

00:44:00.000 have really

00:44:00.880 just changed everything.

00:44:12.920 local elections

00:44:14.260 and state elections

00:44:15.520 anymore

00:44:15.840 because of the money

00:45:50.560 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:45:53.140 I think it's pretty obvious.

00:45:54.240 There's a new sheriff in town.

00:45:56.560 And there's an old sheriff in town as well.

00:45:59.380 In Brevard County that's getting the job done on illegal immigration.

00:46:03.600 We just talked to Governor Ron DeSantis.

00:46:06.060 If you missed that, grab it in the podcast today.

00:46:08.540 What's happening with the Republicans is just absolutely shameful in Florida.

00:46:14.260 You should be, if you're in Florida, you should be on the phone

00:46:16.900 or writing a very polite but clear letter to all of these rhinos.

00:46:22.120 Get with the program or we will primary you and we will remove you.

00:46:27.440 It's a new day.

00:46:28.760 It's a new day.

00:46:29.880 And you have one chance.

00:46:31.900 If we can get these things done now, we change America.

00:46:37.340 If you can't get them done now, you're never going to get them done.

00:46:40.620 Send a message to the Florida legislature if you live in Florida.

00:46:44.680 Sheriff Wayne Ivey from Brevard County in Florida joins me about immigration

00:46:49.560 and what's really happening and what needs to happen in 60 seconds.

00:46:54.020 First, SimpliSafe.

00:46:55.380 So a long time ago, I used to get a lot of burglars coming around.

00:46:58.020 Seemed, you know, like not a day would go by.

00:47:00.360 I wouldn't get at least two or three, sometimes more.

00:47:02.780 I have to tell you, a few days into that, my shooting arm was getting sore.

00:47:06.500 Fortunately, I discovered SimpliSafe, and I haven't had a problem since.

00:47:11.960 SimpliSafe offers advanced state-of-the-art home security and 24-7 monitoring plans

00:47:33.140 You need the eyewitness verification, and you get that with SimpliSafe.

00:47:37.920 They can even talk to the intruder, not just see them.

00:48:10.820 There is no safe like SimpliSafe.

00:48:13.760 All right, let me introduce you to Sheriff Wayne Ivey from Florida.

00:48:18.460 Listen.

00:48:21.480 Folks, crime will rise to the level of community will tolerate.

00:48:25.040 And in Brevard County, we have zero tolerance for crime.

00:48:28.340 I hear people whine sometimes that we shouldn't blast those we arrest.

00:48:31.980 Out on social media.

00:48:33.680 And to them, I have a simple solution.

00:48:36.080 If you don't want to be blasted out on our Facebook page for doing dumb stuff, then don't do dumb stuff.

00:48:41.340 And especially, don't do dumb stuff here in Brevard County.

00:48:44.920 Over the course of the past 12 years, our crime rate has dropped almost 53% because we are tough on crime and even tougher on criminals.

00:48:52.380 It's dropped almost 53% because we have created a partnership with our citizens so that they see something, they say something.

00:48:59.760 And it's dropped because we tell our deputies to put bad people in jail and we never apologize for doing it.

00:49:05.000 This is a great sheriff, Sheriff Wayne Ivey from Brevard County, Florida.

00:49:12.760 Hello, Sheriff.

00:49:13.280 How are you?

00:49:14.500 I'm doing great, Glenn.

00:49:15.420 Thanks for having me.

00:49:16.200 And more importantly, thanks for being the conservative voice for us out here, man.

00:49:20.080 We greatly appreciate you.

00:49:21.560 Thank you.

00:49:21.980 So I just had the governor on and the legislature in Florida, these guys who all want to run for governor next time, are coming out.

00:49:31.580 They're trying to move the immigration czar into the agricultural department.

00:49:40.260 And the guy who's running agriculture right now is not exactly a conservative.

00:49:44.620 Um, what is, what has to be done to be able to get immigration under control in a state like Florida?

00:49:54.180 So, you know, Florida is the free state of Florida as, uh, as governor DeSantis calls it.

00:49:58.740 And, and we know that working in that direction, um, you know, the first thing to get immigration under control period is we've got to unhandcuff the local and state authorities, let them work with the feds.

00:50:09.460 Um, that's, that's step number one, unfortunately, the biggest problem is the feds are going to have to completely reboot the system.

00:50:16.640 And so, you know, get it back up and running and get us involved.

00:50:20.340 And I know everybody's, uh, wanting to see that, but at the end of the day, we've got to be able to, uh, take the, the illegal immigrants that have come into our, in our country, the criminals that are not, not stopping at the border.

00:50:33.560 They're filtering into every community in our, our, um, country and be able to get them out and restabilize our, our foundation of, of law and order.

00:50:43.160 So what do you say to those police and sheriff departments that are, you know, in more liberal areas that are saying, we're not going to, we're not going to help.

00:50:53.400 We're not going to, uh, work with ICE.

00:50:58.040 So I say, get out of the way and let us do it.

00:51:00.600 We'll, we'll do it for you.

00:51:01.700 Um, uh, we'll work with our federal partners to, uh, to get that done.

00:51:05.700 And, you know, Florida leads the nation in public safety.

00:51:09.540 We always have our crime rates lower than it's ever been in the last 44, 45 years.

00:51:14.640 Uh, and, uh, you know, I, I think, uh, to those that are, that are not doing what they need to do, working with the feds, whether that's in the 287 G or whatever it is, what we have to do is to get them to understand.

00:51:27.820 Again, you're putting your everyday citizens at risk every time you don't take action.

00:51:32.780 So get out of the way.

00:51:34.160 If you don't want to do it, we'll do it.

00:51:36.560 Uh, you know, I have somebody who used to live in Brevard County and just adores you as a, as a sheriff.

00:51:43.340 And she was telling me, uh, yesterday when she found out that you were going to be on, she said, Oh my gosh, he does the wheel of fugitive.

00:51:52.300 I had never heard of this.

00:51:54.320 Can you explain that?

00:51:55.980 Sure.

00:51:56.340 It's, uh, it's just like a wheel of fortune, except it's really wheel of misfortune.

00:52:00.480 It's, uh, 10 fugitives that are up on the wheel.

00:52:03.280 You know, we have a great relationship with our community.

00:52:06.080 Uh, they're, they're our partners.

00:52:07.900 And, uh, we, uh, every, uh, every week we get up, we put 10 fugitives pictures up on the wheel and we spin it.

00:52:14.280 And whoever it lands on that, we ask our community to help us find them.

00:52:17.560 It's got an 88% success rate.

00:52:19.720 Uh, we're in the first three to five days, those that are on the wheel either turn themselves in or are captured because of the, uh, work.

00:52:27.860 Unbelievable.

00:52:28.620 And it's interesting that they turn themselves in some, some of them turn themselves in.

00:52:32.820 Isn't that kind of what Trump is trying to do by going after the really bad guys this time?

00:52:38.220 He's sending a message to everybody else.

00:52:40.600 Leave, leave.

00:52:42.120 Yeah.

00:52:42.920 You, you said it at the very beginning of the opening dialogue.

00:52:45.240 You said there's a new sheriff in town.

00:52:46.720 There's a new sheriff in Washington, DC, and he's given you an opportunity to get out of the country because if not, um, our, our partners are going to take you out of the country.

00:52:55.500 We're going to restabilize and, and get back to where we always should have been.

00:53:00.680 And that's what he's doing.

00:53:01.980 He is saying, go on your own, get out of the country.

00:53:04.900 Um, he's telling these other countries, take them back.

00:53:07.600 Don't, don't try and interfere in it and everything will be fine.

00:53:10.920 But if not, um, uh, the door is going to get kicked in.

00:53:14.140 You're going to get dragged out in handcuffs and you're going to be, uh, deported out of this country.

00:53:18.860 Sheriff, thank you so much for everything you're doing in Florida.

00:53:21.360 I really appreciate it.

00:53:22.580 Uh, Wayne Ivey.

00:53:23.580 He is the sheriff of Brevard County, Florida.

00:53:25.960 Uh, I urge you to back sheriffs in your own area that take after Wayne, uh, or, or as serious about the law as Wayne is and enforcing the law.

00:53:38.860 And if you live in Florida, please call your Florida legislature or you're going to get the shaft.

00:53:46.560 The Republicans, the, the, just the weasel rhinos are at it again, like they are here in Texas.

00:53:53.620 And believe me, rhinos of Texas, you're done.

00:53:57.360 You are done.

00:53:58.920 Next time you run.

00:54:00.240 We now have a very long memory and anyone who is standing in the way of getting things done.

00:54:08.420 Finally, we have a politician and in Florida, you have a few that actually mean what they say when they run and they're changing everything.

00:54:18.580 Your day of being a rhino is over.

00:54:21.720 It's over.

00:54:23.260 Uh, sheriff, thank you so much.

00:54:24.840 God bless you.

00:54:25.680 Um, let me talk to you.

00:54:27.020 You bet.

00:54:27.840 Um, let me, let me just talk to you about, about the truth of what's really going on.

00:54:35.980 Um, you know, there was, uh, a Babylon B, uh, that's a Democrats against concern about who will pick their crops, uh, with heated debate taking place across the country over president Donald Trump's initiative to carry out mass deportations of illegal aliens.

00:54:50.660 Democrats have found themselves once again, concerned about who will be picking their crops just as they did in the 1860s.

00:54:57.320 Democrats voiced opposition to any policy changes that would cause them to lose an overwhelming presented percentage of their staff to, uh, and, uh, to keep their crops.

00:55:05.980 them around to pick the produce in their fields.

00:55:08.720 That's true.

00:55:09.520 That's not a joke.

00:55:11.580 That's true.

00:55:13.480 I mean, parody now is so absolutely dead on with the truth.

00:55:20.080 That's how far the Democrats, uh, have gone.

00:55:24.020 And I mean, let me just, let me just play a couple of things.

00:55:27.500 Here are the democratic elites.

00:55:28.720 See if you can see what, uh, Nancy Pelosi was really upset about with, uh, illegals.

00:55:36.100 Go ahead.

00:55:36.640 We have a shortage of workers in our country and you see even in Florida, some of the farmers and the growers saying, why are you shipping these, uh, immigrants up North?

00:55:49.040 We need them to pick the crops down here.

00:55:52.060 Okay.

00:55:53.060 Here's Jerry Nadler in 2024.

00:55:56.360 And we need immigrants in this country.

00:55:59.540 Forget the fact that the farm that are, are, are vegetables would rot in the ground if it weren't, if they weren't being picked by many immigrants, many illegal immigrants.

00:56:13.240 Uh, now let's, uh, go to the high priestess that lectured Trump, uh, the day after the inauguration on illegals.

00:56:21.880 Let's listen to what she says.

00:56:22.580 The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals.

00:56:35.280 They, they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.

00:56:46.480 Okay.

00:56:46.980 So let's just review here.

00:56:48.520 The people who are out in the fields, picking crops, the dishwasher, the office cleaner.

00:56:55.180 I mean, if I have to hear this from the left one more time, oh, you know, we're the kind ones here.

00:57:01.060 I mean, Donald Trump have mercy on all of our workers.

00:57:04.200 I mean, I mean, our neighbors, well, not our neighbors.

00:57:06.380 We wouldn't want any of those people anywhere near us with a lawnmower or a cleaning rag, but those people that work in our homes when we're not there, they have literally, they are fighting for an indentured servant class.

00:57:19.180 And they're calling this merciful, these people have jobs because they will work at wages that are illegal instead of going after the big ag, the big corporations that are trying to hire people for illegal wages.

00:57:37.700 You have these compassionate people saying, no, no, we need these indentured servants.

00:57:43.680 This is as far away from the American dream as you can possibly get.

00:57:48.820 The dream is not to own a house and a car.

00:57:51.560 It's the freedom to choose your own path, not the one the government has in store for you.

00:57:57.900 We don't have a class system in America, or do we?

00:58:02.360 If you were born at the bottom, you can climb that ladder all the way to the top.

00:58:06.540 Look at the vice president.

00:58:09.000 I mean, he's a hillbilly.

00:58:11.380 And yet he's now the vice president.

00:58:16.120 But that's not the system the Democrats and the elites have in mind for illegal immigrants.

00:58:20.900 We saw it with DACA.

00:58:22.800 Obama gave the dreamers the ability to stay and work in America.

00:58:26.280 But every two years, they have to hope and pray that their benevolent overlords will renew their application.

00:58:32.860 They're fully dependent on the will of the elites.

00:58:37.160 Same with the millions of illegal immigrants.

00:58:39.020 They crossed the border under Biden with a hope, with a hope.

00:58:43.480 The government boarded them onto planes, flew them across the country, dropped them off in towns that quickly got overloaded.

00:58:50.620 They found work wherever they could, often at the jobs that are less appealing to Americans for a reason.

00:58:56.940 And they're underpaid, illegally, and they were told at any moment the government could swoop in and take them away.

00:59:06.820 What kind of life are you promising these people?

00:59:10.580 Not to mention many of them got here with the help of the cartels.

00:59:13.620 And those cartels will hunt them down and kill them if they're not paid back in either favors, employment, or cash.

00:59:24.820 And then Biden's open borders, let in thousands of violent gang members.

00:59:31.280 And since these democratic sanctuary cities didn't prosecute crimes, these gangs could take over whole communities.

00:59:37.340 So now illegal immigrants have to fear the government and the cartels and the violent thugs that can do whatever they want.

00:59:46.480 But hey, hey, maybe they might someday, maybe, if Democrats are in charge, maybe gain citizenship one day, or at least a reprieve for a couple of years.

00:59:57.420 But you'll have to vote for them to make sure that you can get that citizenship, maybe, someday.

01:00:02.680 In the meantime, you're in the shadows.

01:00:05.480 You're working for people who don't mind slave labor.

01:00:09.420 That's not merciful.

01:00:10.780 That's a nightmare.

01:00:14.320 Trump is the merciful one.

01:00:16.480 He's starting by deporting all violent criminals.

01:00:23.760 He started by telling the cartels, enough is enough.

01:00:27.720 Now, I'm not sure why anyone who, you know, looks at the cartels thinks that that's mercy.

01:00:37.240 You're not crossing the border without the cartel.

01:00:40.860 So how, again, are you the merciful one?

01:00:43.940 Putting them into the hands of the cartels?

01:00:48.860 But Democrats have made their real goal very, very clear.

01:00:53.020 Cheap labor that's fully dependent on them, no matter what the human cost.

01:00:58.420 300,000 children were lost by the Biden administration.

01:01:04.720 What is the human cost of that?

01:01:07.920 Now, that's not the America I know.

01:01:14.600 Stopping, stopping this misery, that's not something worth crying about.

01:01:20.520 That's something worth celebrating.

01:01:23.460 I don't know.

01:01:24.640 We had to tell the Democrats the last time, hey, no slavery.

01:01:28.480 I guess they still haven't learned that lesson.

01:01:35.160 So Jane wrote in.

01:01:36.180 She's 71.

01:01:36.940 She had pain in her knees and her right arm for years.

01:01:39.560 She was constantly being dragged down.

01:01:42.120 Nothing she tried helped.

01:01:43.160 She started to think she was going to have to deal with pain for the rest of her life.

01:01:46.300 That's when she heard me talking about relief factor, and she decided, what am I going to lose?

01:01:51.340 Let's boob on the radio.

01:01:52.600 So, I mean, good news is the pain went away within a couple of weeks, and Jane got her life back.

01:01:58.460 Try it.

01:01:59.360 Will you?

01:02:00.000 Relief Factor.

01:02:00.840 It's a daily supplement.

01:02:01.900 Helps your body fight pain by fighting inflammation, which is the source of most of the pain in our bodies and a lot of our disease.

01:02:26.940 1-800-4-RELIEF.

01:02:28.460 1-800-4-RELIEF.

01:02:30.800 Or visit relieffactor.com.

01:02:33.620 10 seconds.

01:02:34.180 Station on.

01:02:45.960 Well, hello, Stu.

01:02:48.900 Hello, Glenn.

01:02:50.700 I know you're upset.

01:02:53.040 Because RFK is not in as much trouble for saying Glenn Beck should be executed.

01:02:59.420 Or is it the opposite?

01:03:01.680 That's honestly the best part of his platform.

01:03:03.200 Is it really?

01:03:03.660 Yes, I don't think he's still, he doesn't claim to maintain that position, but that's the part I really agree with him on.

01:03:10.600 You're, of course, eventual capture and punishment.

01:03:15.140 Right.

01:03:15.240 So the New York Post has come out and said, we cannot confirm this guy.

01:03:19.700 Yeah.

01:03:20.020 New York Post, Wall Street Journal are both out today saying those similar things.

01:03:24.240 And it's interesting because I think it's not necessarily the same thing as saying what he has, hasn't connected with conservative voters or what he, you know, what he has to say might be valuable in many ways.

01:03:36.520 He's getting a heck of a reward for the work he did, though.

01:03:39.860 Remember, this is as clear as a transactional political relationship as we've ever seen.

01:03:47.120 I mean, both of them were saying horrible things about the other a month or two before the endorsement, right?

01:03:55.600 Like they say, I mean, the Post one in particular goes through all the things that Trump was saying about RFK Jr.

01:04:02.880 Saying he'd rather have Biden.

01:04:05.280 He'd rather have Biden.

01:04:07.080 Because at least if he had Biden, the country would last a couple more months before it collapsed.

01:04:13.120 That was his opinion of RFK Jr.

01:04:14.840 Now, he's not putting him in a position to run, you know, the country, the West Wing, right?

01:04:19.640 So it's a little bit different.

01:04:21.540 But it's hard to understate or it's hard to overstate, excuse me, how important the HHS job is.

01:04:28.180 It's a massive job.

01:04:29.340 It's a multi-billion dollar, you know, it's the second, it's bigger than the Department of Defense budget he'd be overseeing.

01:04:38.220 This has tentacles in every single part of your life.

01:04:41.120 I know.

01:04:41.280 So it's not just like if you like his vaccine stance or you like his stance on Froot Loops or whatever, whatever is drawing you in particular.

01:04:48.760 That's his kick.

01:04:49.920 Yeah, I know.

01:04:50.440 I know.

01:04:50.820 And by the way, Canadian Froot Loops do not have three ingredients.

01:04:53.440 That is not true.

01:04:54.500 But even if it were true, it could be something that I think could be a little handled a little bit differently.

01:05:01.180 Giving him this control of this budget and this apparatus, I think, overstates the importance of his role when it comes to Trump getting elected.

01:05:12.100 I mean, do you think Trump would have lost without RFK Jr.'s endorsement?

01:05:14.620 No, but I think it helped.

01:05:16.740 I think it helped.

01:05:17.360 Yeah.

01:05:17.580 I agree.

01:05:17.980 I think it was part of momentum.

01:05:19.240 And I think it was smart by Trump to embrace him for that.

01:05:22.420 And I think there is an honest movement from liberals, conservatives, independents, everybody that says, you know, something's wrong.

01:05:31.760 Something's wrong with our health.

01:05:32.900 Something's wrong with our food.

01:05:34.700 I agree with that.

01:05:35.880 Now, I think there is a movement.

01:05:38.060 I don't agree necessarily with all of the points made by that movement.

01:05:41.160 But I think there is a movement there.

01:05:42.500 And I think it's real.

01:05:43.240 And I think it's highly represented among Trump's voters generally.

01:05:48.620 Not universal, but I think it's represented there.

01:05:52.260 And as you point out, it's also represented a lot on the left, right?

01:05:54.780 But that would be like one one thousandth of this guy's job as HHS secretary.

01:06:00.760 It is – he has so – his tentacles in everything when it comes to this role.

01:06:06.880 And it's like, to me, he would be much better served in a role like Elon Musk is in, a Doge-type role.

01:06:13.580 Put him in a control of some sort of committee to go find these problems, present them to someone that Trump trusts wholly, not just in this one small area, and then see what happens.

01:06:24.320 Glenn Beck.

01:06:37.260 Sometimes you spend so long straining under the heavy burden that you actually forget what a gold old-fashioned sigh of relief feels like.

01:06:44.280 Take credit card debt, for example.

01:06:46.180 I know you've been trying to pay that stupid thing down every month, but it always seems like you're mostly just paying the interest off, missing the principal.

01:06:52.000 And sometimes it feels like I'm never going to be able to get out from behind this eight ball.

01:06:59.020 If you're a homeowner and you want to get out from under the high-interest debt, call AmericanFinancing.net.

01:07:07.440 Here's their number, 800-906-2440.

01:07:38.860 800-906-2440.

01:07:50.840 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:07:56.320 We're talking about RFK.

01:07:58.700 His nomination process begins tomorrow.

01:08:02.040 And there's a lot of mis- and disinformation about RFK.

01:08:08.240 A lot of stuff that's being said about him is absolutely true.

01:08:11.400 However, has he changed his view on anything?

01:08:15.500 You know, will he give guarantees to Congress that he's going to be pro-life?

01:08:20.020 That's a big one.

01:08:21.220 If you don't get James Lankford, you're not going to get the nomination.

01:08:25.220 I think that one is imperative.

01:08:26.940 And so far, Lankford hasn't said one way or another, I don't think.

01:08:31.740 And there's also things like, there's 15,000 doctors that have signed a demand that RFK.

01:08:41.040 He's not a doctor.

01:08:42.040 He can't be a doctor.

01:08:44.100 You know, you don't have to put anything in except your name to sign that.

01:08:48.420 You just go online and you're like, I'm Dr. Full of Crap.

01:08:53.460 And put an address in and boom, your name, Dr. Full of Crap, is on that list.

01:08:58.840 So.

01:08:59.920 Really?

01:09:00.500 Is that true?

01:09:01.000 It's true.

01:09:01.520 Dr. Full of Crap?

01:09:02.540 Yeah.

01:09:02.700 Try it.

01:09:03.100 Yeah.

01:09:03.400 Try it.

01:09:03.740 He's a good doc.

01:09:04.660 Anyway, Cali Means is with us.

01:09:06.460 He is the co-founder of TrueMed, the author of Good Energy.

01:09:10.160 And he says it is imperative that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is to be confirmed.

01:09:16.320 Welcome, Cali.

01:09:17.120 How are you?

01:09:18.300 I'm doing great, Glenn.

01:09:19.740 So you are well aware of some of the games that are being played.

01:09:22.440 Mike Pence is playing a part of that game.

01:09:25.500 Is he not?

01:09:27.860 He is.

01:09:28.600 And I think it goes right to what you're saying about Senator Lankford, who I've worked with,

01:09:33.400 who I know is dedicated to this issue.

01:09:36.340 And let's be very clear.

01:09:37.780 The life plank is a vital part, a crucial part of the Republican platform.

01:09:43.140 But let me explain to you how this game is played.

01:09:45.960 CNN, of all places, recently reported that the pharmaceutical industry is the chief funder

01:09:52.260 of Mike Pence's group.

01:09:54.280 And the pharmaceutical industry is funding money to that group for Mike Pence to, in my

01:09:59.700 opinion, bastardize the life issue and run ads and reach out to senators like Senator

01:10:06.660 Lankford to say that Bobby is going to be an attack on life.

01:10:09.760 Let me be clear about one thing, Glenn.

01:10:11.340 And I know you saw this.

01:10:12.380 I don't think there's been a more pro-life movement than what happened between Donald

01:10:17.020 Trump and Bobby Kennedy in recent memory.

01:10:20.020 I mean, the heart of what they talked about is a spiritual issue of what the heck is happening

01:10:27.260 to our kids, where we're the sickest country in the developed world, where 38% of teens

01:10:32.400 have prediabetes, where 50% of teens are overweight or obese, where we have a mental health crisis

01:10:36.680 among children, where we're living seven years less than the Italians right now because

01:10:41.160 of our broken health care incentives, where we're stunting and through our incentives, not enabling our

01:10:48.100 children to thrive.

01:10:49.100 And just to be super direct, watching this process with Bobby and President Trump, Bobby fully

01:10:55.340 understand the centrality of the life platform to the Republican coalition that have given

01:11:01.920 him and President Trump an opportunity to serve and is going to be fully executing the Trump

01:11:08.880 administration's directives at that.

01:11:11.120 And I know staying very close to many of the pro-life leaders in the Senate who have already

01:11:15.940 endorsed him.

01:11:16.660 So very cynical move by Mike Pence here.

01:11:19.340 So you do believe he will make a clear statement that he won't thwart the Trump administration

01:11:25.380 on life?

01:11:27.540 Oh, I mean, I'll let him speak for himself tomorrow.

01:11:30.000 And I know he'll do that very well.

01:11:31.440 But I can tell you that Bobby Kennedy believes that this is a fight for life and deeply respects

01:11:37.440 the centrality of the pro-life coalition and the Republican coalition that have put him

01:11:44.140 in power and will, I think, has already had very productive conversations with pro-life

01:11:49.220 leaders who have come out and endorsed him.

01:11:51.260 And I know it's going to be very close to them.

01:11:53.300 And he's not in there to subvert any promises made by the Trump administration on that.

01:11:59.620 He is there to fight for the lives of our children.

01:12:01.640 So let me ask you, Kelly, because, you know, I agree with you that there is something wrong

01:12:07.000 with our health care system, maybe our food, everything.

01:12:11.900 There's something really wrong.

01:12:14.860 And I think it comes from GMOs and pharmaceutical companies that, you know, we're not, we're treating

01:12:21.420 symptoms.

01:12:22.220 We don't seem to be really going after the problem in many ways, especially with pharmaceuticals.

01:12:27.480 Um, and, and I don't know what the answer is.

01:12:31.920 I know that we have, we have some vaccines that have been, you know, good polio, smallpox

01:12:38.640 have been, you know, I had it, you know, when I was a kid, but now we're getting 80 different

01:12:43.960 shots at birth.

01:12:45.040 And that there's something wrong with, uh, the way our kids are growing up and everything

01:12:51.560 else.

01:12:51.900 And I don't know what that is, but I like Bobby coming in because he is going to, uh, at

01:13:00.160 least expose the things that need to be exposed.

01:13:02.860 But I, I don't want somebody who's in there saying no, no, no smallpox vaccine, you know,

01:13:08.880 no, no polio vaccines.

01:13:11.620 Glenn, I think, I think this is really the, the, the, the next key point to make because

01:13:15.980 you know, he's getting, I think very cynical pharma funded attacks on the pro-life issue.

01:13:20.100 And then you get to this vaccine issue, you get to this really idea that Bobby's going

01:13:23.460 to come in and, and come in with strong opinions and start banning and regulating things.

01:13:27.580 And I want to make something really clear.

01:13:29.440 And this is, this is, should be clear from, from what Bobby and president Trump has said during

01:13:33.000 the campaign is Bobby is not a scientist.

01:13:35.580 And he is not coming in there with a list of medical opinions or even food opinions.

01:13:41.440 President Trump and Bobby have been very clear that the directive is to figure out what the

01:13:46.160 heck is going on.

01:13:47.800 Phase one of Maha is getting to the truth.

01:13:50.360 It's getting Jay Bhattacharya into the NIH.

01:13:52.940 And right now, Glenn, 85% of NIH spending is pharmaceutical R&D.

01:13:57.000 So what does that mean?

01:13:58.060 It means they're not asking why we're getting sick, which you would expect the NIH to do.

01:14:02.160 They're actually a fully owned subsidiary of the pharmaceutical industry.

01:14:05.040 That's profiting from the fact that we're getting sick.

01:14:07.140 They're not asking why we're getting diabetes, why autism rates are going up, why heart disease

01:14:11.740 rates are going up, why cancer rates are going up.

01:14:13.760 They're working on ineffective cancer jabs.

01:14:16.440 They're working on ineffective band-aids for Alzheimer's when Alzheimer's is actually

01:14:20.680 preventable.

01:14:21.720 So I think you're exactly right.

01:14:23.600 We don't fully know what's going on.

01:14:25.820 And I actually, and you know, this is my opinion, I think President Trump is going to win the

01:14:30.720 Nobel Prize when Bobby Kennedy and Jay Bhattacharya are done with the HHS and the NIH, because

01:14:35.700 you know, if there's one accomplishment that can be made in the next two years, it's let's

01:14:39.180 get back to science.

01:14:40.020 Let's give the American people and policymakers accurate information that we're not getting

01:14:45.260 because, Glenn, you know, I don't think Europe has very good health policy, but they're

01:14:50.020 living 10 years more than us, right?

01:14:52.920 I think it's because the strong arm of mandates isn't as pronounced there, that there's more

01:15:00.460 informed consent, that people are able to make better decisions.

01:15:03.300 I mean, Maha is about, and what Bobby King's talked about, is just getting back to science.

01:15:07.340 And the last thing I'll say, Glenn, just being in some of these discussions, there's zero

01:15:11.100 ideology.

01:15:12.280 The directive from President Trump isn't to get to a specific outcome or solution on a food

01:15:17.500 or pharmaceuticals or vaccines or whatever.

01:15:18.960 It is to get money to the best scientists in the world so we can figure out what's going

01:15:23.120 on.

01:15:23.460 So I think that's a very important point.

01:15:26.840 So he's got a lot of opposition tomorrow.

01:15:31.160 How are you going to get Mitch McConnell and Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, you know,

01:15:37.420 Cory Booker on board?

01:15:41.340 I think it's, I think we've been dragged into darkness inevitably now that power is close at

01:15:47.620 hand, you know, with pharma funding pro life groups, ostensibly with, you know, so many

01:15:54.080 interests at play and so much money at play.

01:15:56.740 I mean, let's not forget health care is the largest and fastest growing and most employed

01:16:00.680 industry in the country.

01:16:02.640 There's a lot at stake here.

01:16:04.260 And, you know, our message, my message going into this week is there was a spiritual strain

01:16:10.640 hit during the campaign with Bobby Kennedy and President Trump.

01:16:14.020 I mean, they talked about unimpeachable issues of, you know, figure out why our kids are getting

01:16:19.080 sick, getting absolute rank corruption out of our medical authorities that we saw during

01:16:23.880 COVID.

01:16:24.160 I mean, why is, why is 75% of the FDA's drug approval department funded by pharma?

01:16:30.460 You know, why are NIH folks during COVID employees able to take hundreds of millions of dollars

01:16:36.380 in royalties?

01:16:38.220 You know, why is the CDC able to have a nonprofit that accepts hundreds of millions of dollars

01:16:42.260 from pharma to buy off the agency?

01:16:46.100 These are, these are very simple things.

01:16:48.280 And, and even larger than that claim.

01:16:50.140 I mean, I think what Bobby Kennedy and President Trump actually represented with Kennedy walking

01:16:55.120 out on that stage with the sparklers with President Trump is that this administration

01:16:59.780 is not about left versus right.

01:17:01.320 This is not about debating page 300 of the Medicare party law.

01:17:05.020 This is about taking on corruption.

01:17:07.160 This is about unimpeachable issues.

01:17:08.900 This is about true, on this issue, bipartisan reform.

01:17:13.000 So I think, I know you saw that, Glenn, we talked throughout the campaign and I know my

01:17:16.520 sister has with you.

01:17:18.240 There was something spiritual.

01:17:19.540 So I think what we need to do this week is just remind people of the stakes, is remind

01:17:25.060 people of the fact that, you know, kids, right, are the sickest, American kids are the

01:17:30.620 sickest kids in the world right now.

01:17:33.700 And I would just urge Mitch McConnell or anyone on the fence, it can't be worse than what's

01:17:39.140 happening now.

01:17:39.840 Our public health authorities have totally failed us.

01:17:42.760 Bobby Kennedy and President Trump tapped into this unimpeachable spiritual issues of figuring

01:17:46.740 out why our kids are getting sick.

01:17:47.820 We need to give them a chance.

01:17:49.840 And at sake, Glenn, this is the will of the voters.

01:17:53.220 There is no nominee that President Trump talked about more than Bobby Kennedy.

01:17:58.640 You know, we didn't know who the Treasury Secretary was going to be, the Secretary of

01:18:02.320 Defense, most other departments.

01:18:03.980 He was very clear during the campaign and every single speech that he was going to turn over

01:18:07.800 health to Bobby.

01:18:08.440 This is a true campaign mandate.

01:18:11.940 And, you know, it will be a disaster if senators overrule that clear mandate for voters.

01:18:19.000 Kelly, I appreciate you coming on and making a good case for Bobby Kennedy.

01:18:22.700 I will tell you, I am all in on exposing bad things.

01:18:30.140 Finding out, because I am convinced, I mean, well, COVID, there are bad things that are happening

01:18:36.320 with our government and pharmaceutical companies.

01:18:38.340 Not all things that pharmaceutical companies do are bad, but there are a lot of bad things.

01:18:43.100 And our government is being wagged by food and pharmaceuticals right now.

01:18:49.500 And I just want the answers.

01:18:51.140 I don't want somebody to come and dictate those answers.

01:18:54.380 I want to see the evidence of what's really happening.

01:18:57.860 I think this is the mandate that was given to Donald Trump, and that is expose it all.

01:19:04.620 Expose it all on every front.

01:19:06.560 If there's a problem, expose it.

01:19:09.040 And then we can deal with it as a people.

01:19:11.620 But I don't want somebody coming in and, you know, your assurance that that's not who Bobby

01:19:18.080 Kennedy is going to be is reassuring.

01:19:22.040 I hope you're right on that.

01:19:24.260 Kelly, I want to underline it one more time for all the conservatives listening.

01:19:27.720 And I know Bobby made the case well during the campaign.

01:19:30.160 There is not a list of regulation or bans.

01:19:33.460 It is about getting to the truth.

01:19:35.720 Yes.

01:19:36.080 Americans can make an informed decision.

01:19:38.040 Americans are not trying to be sick or poison their kids.

01:19:40.280 What the problem is, we don't have the truth.

01:19:42.580 We don't have the information.

01:19:44.280 That is step one of Maha.

01:19:46.240 And Bobby Kennedy and President Trump, as we know, are committed to a deregulation agenda,

01:19:51.460 a freedom agenda.

01:19:52.380 But that requires informed consent of the truth.

01:19:55.360 Kelly, I think that if the Maha agenda, if it is about exposure and freedom, then if that

01:20:03.880 agenda is not part of this, I think that's a big part of the

01:20:10.160 mandate that will be lost.

01:20:11.340 Because I think this is a spiritual, this is a physical, it's a metaphysical thing that

01:20:20.360 we're dealing with right now.

01:20:21.500 We have to deal with all of it, or we can't cure any of it, quite honestly, I believe.

01:20:26.960 Kelly, thank you very much.

01:20:27.820 Thank you.

01:20:29.060 Thank you.

01:20:29.500 Kelly Means, TrueMed, co-founder, co-author of Good Energy.

01:20:33.600 Back in just a second, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians

01:20:36.520 and Jews.

01:20:37.040 Yesterday was January 27th, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and it has been 80 years since the end

01:20:43.340 of the Nazis' organized effort to wipe out the Jews off the face of the earth.

01:20:46.940 Now, there are people that are taking their turn, you know, stepping right up in history.

01:20:50.380 People are oppressing the Jews.

01:20:51.640 I mean, what's happening around the country is just awful.

01:20:56.520 As Christians, we need to recognize our brotherhood with the Jews and help them in their time of

01:21:02.300 need.

01:21:02.780 And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is doing their part.

01:21:06.200 I'm not going to fight anybody's war, but I am going to support their right to defend

01:21:10.320 themselves, and I'm going to do everything I can as a person.

01:21:13.800 I'm not asking the country to do anything.

01:21:15.700 I'm saying this is something I believe in, and if you believe in it, will you help with food,

01:21:20.620 shelter, and safety for Jews in Israel and all around the world?

01:21:25.560 The remaining Holocaust survivors, they are getting help still from Christians today, helping

01:21:31.100 provide food, water, medicine, and other basic necessities to Jewish communities.

01:21:36.400 There's a lot of darkness in the world for Jewish people.

01:21:40.320 Be a part of the light shining out from the Christian world to our brothers and sisters.

01:21:44.020 Give the gift to show your support of the Jewish people by visiting supportifcj.org.

01:21:49.920 That's one word, supportifcj.org.

01:21:53.080 Or call 888-488-IFCJ.

01:21:55.740 888-488-IFCJ.

01:21:59.200 Glenn Beck.

01:22:10.460 Well, the heat is on.

01:22:12.300 Yes, the heat around Valentine's Day.

01:22:14.900 The knowledge that you have to get it right.

01:22:17.080 Valentine's Day pressure is serious on guys, of course, and she's going to say at some

01:22:21.600 point, like, hey, don't worry about it.

01:22:23.160 You don't have to give me anything for Valentine's Day.

01:22:25.740 What that does not mean is don't get her something, because you can stay out of the doghouse if

01:22:33.260 you get her something, and you get her something she really, really loves.

01:22:35.740 Send her a farm fresh flowers from Books.

01:22:37.980 That's short for bouquet.

01:23:37.060 Books.com.

01:23:39.980 So, there's the show that you hear, and then there's the show that Blaze people hear, and

01:23:57.200 then there's the show that only I hear, and that's when I get off the air and Stu goes

01:24:05.180 into a rant.

01:24:06.220 I don't know if that's, we don't need to talk about this.

01:24:08.720 Well, I think we should.

01:24:09.980 I mean, look, I love Callie.

01:24:12.500 He's great.

01:24:13.120 His sister is great.

01:24:14.240 He does too.

01:24:14.920 But Stu has a slightly different opinion on RFK.

01:24:20.520 Yes, I would say.

01:24:21.480 I mean, again, all respect to Callie.

01:24:23.760 He's a good dude, and I think he's fighting for the right things.

01:24:26.920 RFK Jr., some of his views I really do agree with.

01:24:30.060 Some of them I do.

01:24:31.280 I don't think you could say that he's not ideological.

01:24:34.480 I don't think that you can say fairly that he is, you know, coming into this role looking

01:24:40.240 for the truth.

01:24:40.960 The guy's been telling us he knows the truth for 40 years.

01:24:43.260 Now, I don't agree with all of his truth.

01:24:44.880 Some of it I do agree with.

01:24:45.780 But wouldn't you say that if I were in charge, not of this, but I would go in and I would

01:24:51.080 say to you, I mean, I've been for 35 years telling you what the truth is.

01:24:55.140 Right.

01:24:55.580 And if I went in and said, I'm looking for the truth, do you not believe that I would

01:24:59.520 actually be open to a different truth than I believe?

01:25:03.880 I think you would.

01:25:05.200 I don't think that he would.

01:25:06.400 I mean, this man has, you know, look, this is what he's, this has been his shtick for

01:25:11.220 a very, very long time.

01:25:12.600 And some of it is great.

01:25:14.180 Some of it is not.

01:25:15.860 I will say, I just, I just don't understand.

01:25:21.060 Like, you know, he brings up, you know, we talk about RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya.

01:25:25.240 Well, then give Jay Bhattacharya the gig.

01:25:26.960 And he's got another important gig.

01:25:28.460 But I mean, you could find another person, Marty Makari's got another gig as well.

01:25:32.340 But you could find someone like that, I think, who has none of the concerns of RFK for conservatives.

01:25:38.900 And he could do all the same things.

01:25:43.660 I think that, I think the thing that.

01:25:46.200 I'm doing my best.

01:25:46.920 Yeah, I know.

01:25:47.320 I think the thing that I like about RFK, though, is he doesn't trust the system.

01:25:53.200 And he knows the system pretty well.

01:25:55.140 Yeah.

01:25:55.480 And I mean, the government system.

01:25:57.380 And I really like.

01:25:58.200 It's interesting that he doesn't, because he's spent his entire life the exact opposite

01:26:03.140 of that, saying that the government should have all sorts of tyrannical powers.

01:26:06.300 I know.

01:26:06.720 And he has said to me.

01:26:08.040 Yes, he's said to you.

01:26:09.900 And he has said, that is, there's his 50, his 70-year life and what he said to you when

01:26:14.400 he really needed votes.

01:26:15.200 I know.

01:26:15.620 That's true.

01:26:16.360 That's true.

01:26:16.900 That is what he said.

01:26:17.700 Again, it doesn't, I got no input in this at all.

01:26:20.960 But I just feel like you could find someone who has the same, a lot of people on the conservative

01:26:26.660 side are skeptical of government power.

01:26:30.820 RFK Jr. has not shown that throughout his life all that consistently.

01:26:35.700 But he did do an interview with me once.

01:26:38.000 Oh, yeah.

01:26:38.340 That's true.

01:26:38.920 Oh, did he threaten your life in that one?

01:26:40.400 No, that was the other one.

01:26:41.280 That was a different one.

01:26:41.660 That's right.

01:26:42.000 That's right.

01:26:42.020 That's right.

01:26:50.960 Oh, yeah.

01:27:20.960 Down the road where shadows hide, feel the dark on every side, stand your ground when

01:27:28.680 times get dark, gotta face the dark and embrace the fire.

01:27:34.460 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:27:38.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:27:42.520 Oh, my gosh.

01:27:43.660 It's a good thing that, and I think Stu will agree with me, it's a good thing that New York

01:27:49.300 Magazine exists.

01:27:50.960 Otherwise, we just wouldn't realize how racist we all are.

01:27:55.260 They covered a story called The Cruel Kids Table.

01:27:59.200 It was about a Trump inauguration party.

01:28:02.800 And there was, like, no black people there.

01:28:05.740 And, you know, we got to the bottom of it.

01:28:08.480 We have the guy who actually was responsible for that racist party, CJ Pearson, who strangely

01:28:18.180 is black himself.

01:28:19.960 But we can leave that out of the story.

01:28:22.060 We're going to talk to CJ in just a second.

01:28:24.820 First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust.

01:28:27.240 Now that you're not going to have to be looking over your shoulder wondering if and when the

01:28:31.440 government's going to jump out and attack you.

01:28:34.000 Maybe you have your mind, you know, and the idea of buying and selling a house.

01:28:38.600 This is, you know, maybe.

01:28:39.800 As the market begins to recover from its long national nightmare, now may be the time to,

01:28:46.180 you know, pull the trigger on something like that.

01:28:48.120 But if you do, the one thing you're going to need above everything else is a real estate

01:28:51.200 agent that you can rely on, a real estate agent that knows the areas that you're selling

01:28:55.200 or buying in.

01:28:56.240 Somebody who is really dependable, hardworking, someone who knows the best practices, is knowledgeable,

01:29:03.420 is ethical, would be also another good thing.

01:29:07.380 Someone you can actually trust.

01:29:09.220 Well, that's why I built realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:29:13.120 It's a business built around the idea of trust.

01:29:16.120 We've helped this audience for over a decade now, billions of dollars in sales.

01:29:20.860 We will pair you up with the agent that you need, whether you're just moving across town

01:29:25.280 or all the way across the country.

01:29:34.080 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:29:37.960 Waiting for C.J. Pearson to get on.

01:29:40.680 Just a minute.

01:29:41.380 I'm going to talk about this racist, unbelievable, racist party that was held in Washington, D.C.

01:29:50.160 Did you see the picture from New York?

01:29:52.660 Saw the controversy online and hadn't seen the full picture.

01:29:57.700 It's unbelievable.

01:29:58.480 It is literally unbelievable.

01:30:00.340 You see a picture of this all-white crowd at a party at a ball or whatever around the inauguration.

01:30:05.200 And the headline is what, the Cruel Kids Club or something like that?

01:30:08.440 Yeah, Cruel Kids Table.

01:30:09.080 Cruel Kids Table.

01:30:10.140 And it's basically like, hey, now a bunch of these young white racists are going to get

01:30:15.780 control of the government.

01:30:17.620 And they're up and...

01:30:19.000 It's kind of like a, hey, beware Nazi youth on the way.

01:30:22.580 That's basically the concept of the police.

01:30:24.200 In the piece, she describes a woman coming up to her and saying, have you noticed this

01:30:28.700 room is all white?

01:30:30.240 And then she says, well, I couldn't really tell if she thought that was a good thing or

01:30:35.000 a bad thing.

01:30:36.620 Anyway.

01:30:37.940 Cropped right out of the picture.

01:30:40.140 I mean, like, on the line, cropped out three black people.

01:30:45.180 Just right where they cut them.

01:30:47.960 So they literally had a picture that included black people.

01:30:50.540 They cropped them out and then said it was an all-white room.

01:30:53.480 And also left C.J. Pearson, the guy who was responsible for the party, who happens to

01:30:59.360 be black, left him out of this.

01:31:02.280 C.J. Pearson, welcome.

01:31:05.060 Thanks so much for robbing me, Glenn.

01:31:06.720 Yeah.

01:31:07.320 Why do you hate black people so much?

01:31:10.280 Well, you know, I knew that America was getting woke under Biden, but I didn't know that even

01:31:15.120 the KKK had a DEI program because apparently I can now be a white supremacist.

01:31:21.020 Well, are you a Klan member or are you also a Nazi, C.J.?

01:31:25.520 That's the real question.

01:31:26.760 I don't know.

01:31:27.980 I'm trying to figure it out.

01:31:29.140 I'm trying to figure it out.

01:31:29.600 My application's still pending.

01:31:30.820 We're working through some things, but I'll let you know, Glenn.

01:31:33.020 So how did this come about?

01:31:34.800 How did this happen?

01:31:36.180 Yeah, well, I'll tell you, you know, during the campaign cycle, you know, I serve as the

01:31:39.420 chair of the RNC Youth Advisory Council.

01:31:41.560 And so a lot of my work focused on getting influencers to support President Trump vocally and to draw

01:31:47.780 other audiences to go out and vote, to volunteer for the campaign and so much more.

01:31:52.320 And so for this event, you know, we called it the Power 30 Awards.

01:31:55.460 We wanted to honor the 30 most impactful young influencers from this election cycle.

01:32:00.100 Nothing controversial about it.

01:32:01.940 We just wanted to have a good time to celebrate what was going to be the start of the new golden

01:32:06.620 age in America.

01:32:07.680 And of course, you know, this reporter was in attendance, and I guess there weren't enough

01:32:12.360 women with penises in the crowd because she just seems upset.

01:32:18.100 And I'm saying she, but actually this person identifies as non-binary.

01:32:22.800 So I don't know.

01:32:24.420 Again, your bigotry is on display here.

01:32:28.060 It's exuding.

01:32:28.900 It's exuding.

01:32:29.440 I'm not beating the allegations.

01:32:30.780 I'm not helping myself.

01:32:31.800 Wow, you're not.

01:32:32.780 But it's crazy, though.

01:32:33.540 But what's terrible about this story is that how flagrant it was.

01:32:36.800 They truly believe the American people are stupid.

01:32:40.000 They take that photo to insinuate that this was some, you know, KKK kumbaya.

01:32:45.520 And they explicitly, they did not reach out to me for comment for the story.

01:32:50.200 They didn't include me in any part of the story.

01:32:52.980 And they cropped out the black people from the picture of the story.

01:32:56.500 It's absolutely insane.

01:32:57.960 You know, I don't think that they think the American people are this stupid.

01:33:01.600 I think they think their people are this stupid.

01:33:04.280 You know, honestly, because the rest of America knows what's going on.

01:33:08.540 We're all, we're all, they have destroyed themselves so much.

01:33:12.940 It is only the people that they have absolutely hypnotized that only listen or read their stuff

01:33:20.040 that buy into this.

01:33:21.740 The rest of the country, the rest of the world is waking up.

01:33:25.420 They just, they just think their people are stupid, which is kind of sad for their people.

01:33:30.780 Yeah.

01:33:31.940 Yeah, no, it's incredibly sad.

01:33:34.060 But, you know, going to the Instagram comments of their, of their posts with the cover, you

01:33:39.220 would be exactly right.

01:33:40.400 You know, many of these people were, you know, comparing us to Hitler's youth.

01:33:43.700 Again, a group of which I was not aware that I was even eligible for membership and, uh,

01:33:48.780 because they were too lazy to figure out who actually put on this event and who made it

01:33:53.940 happen.

01:33:54.560 And it's honestly, it's sad, but I think that the reason that they're so upset is because

01:34:00.400 they cannot stand to see people that believe what we believe happy in this country.

01:34:05.400 I know because under the last four years of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, we were treated like

01:34:09.460 second-class citizens where the DOJ was weaponized against us.

01:34:12.880 We were going through record high inflation, record high gas prices, and we were actually

01:34:17.580 finally back and they cannot stand it.

01:34:20.860 And they're scared of it.

01:34:21.740 And they should be scared.

01:34:22.760 I have to tell you, the people in this crowd are beautiful.

01:34:26.220 All of them.

01:34:27.180 I mean, in the whole picture, they're beautiful.

01:34:29.100 I mean, it is, it's, uh, you look at that picture.

01:34:32.420 If you didn't know there were black people there that might, you know, taint things one

01:34:35.800 way or another.

01:34:36.160 But if you're under 30 and you see the whole picture, you're like, I'd like to be a part of

01:34:41.740 that crowd that looks like the cool kids.

01:34:44.180 You know, you're exactly.

01:34:45.720 But instead of calling us the cool kids, they called us the cruel kids because I guess,

01:34:49.900 you know, we want to, you know, enforce immigration laws.

01:34:52.380 We believe that, you know, men don't belong in female bathrooms, but you're exactly right.

01:34:57.100 And I think it just goes to show the difference between, you know, conservative youth and leftist

01:35:01.160 youth.

01:35:01.440 If there was a leftist party like this, you would see purple hair and men with 108 pronouns

01:35:06.220 running around.

01:35:06.820 But that's not the reality because we're actually normal and we have common sense and they hate

01:35:11.240 that we're normal.

01:35:12.240 And they hate that when they look at our normalcy, it reminds them of just how abnormal they are.

01:35:17.520 I have to tell you, CJ, you should wear this as a badge of honor.

01:35:20.560 I would have this cover framed.

01:35:23.120 If I were you.

01:35:24.020 I need to print it out.

01:35:24.520 I mean, it is, it's really remarkable.

01:35:27.720 And the good news is if this would have happened to you 10 years ago, you know, this would have

01:35:32.320 been a disaster, but it's happening to you now where it's hysterical.

01:35:38.000 It's just hysterical how out of touch they are.

01:35:41.960 And I mean, and not just with reality of, you know, the actual situation, they, they are

01:35:49.660 becoming a smaller and smaller number that really are, are, I mean, they're straight jacket

01:35:57.440 people, honestly, that are left and they have no idea and they're still doing the same thing.

01:36:03.280 So, I mean, it's your movement, others' movements are just crushing them because you have the

01:36:09.200 truth on your side.

01:36:10.180 It's hysterical.

01:36:10.940 Yeah.

01:36:11.560 Yeah.

01:36:11.900 No, you're, you're, you're exactly right.

01:36:13.420 And I think they're playing, you know, with an outdated playbook.

01:36:15.940 Cancel culture is dead.

01:36:17.180 You know, I think the president, you know, the American people gave president Trump a resounding

01:36:21.120 mandate.

01:36:21.580 And with that, the people that supported him as well.

01:36:24.020 Uh, you know, I think in an example of this being true is one of our sponsors for the

01:36:28.720 event was Tik TOK.

01:36:30.200 The other was the, the, uh, betting platform call sheet.

01:36:33.460 None of those institutions or companies have disavowed this event 10 years ago.

01:36:37.960 What would have happened?

01:36:38.520 Oh yeah.

01:36:38.700 You would have been done.

01:36:39.460 Yeah.

01:36:40.020 Right.

01:36:40.320 But we, we have a statement from the call, the CEO of call sheet, uh, which one of the

01:36:44.740 biggest prediction, uh, betting markets these days that said we would sponsor this event

01:36:49.420 again, and we're not going to allow the woke mob to dictate how we run our company.

01:36:53.520 That is amazing.

01:36:55.180 That is amazing.

01:36:56.980 That would have never happened five years ago, four years ago.

01:37:00.980 Uh, congratulations, CJ.

01:37:02.560 I really appreciate it so much.

01:37:03.980 Great job.

01:37:04.880 Uh, you know, yesterday I was listening to, uh, Lex, uh, Freeman, right.

01:37:09.880 Um, I was listening to his podcast and, uh, uh, uh, Andreessen was on, you should listen

01:37:18.020 to this podcast as three hours, but it's fascinating to hear Mark Andreessen talk about

01:37:23.160 uh, where we are.

01:37:25.700 It is so optimistic.

01:37:27.040 Now, Mark Andreessen is a guy who, you know, was part of Twitter was, uh, helped, uh, Elon

01:37:32.620 Musk take it, uh, himself, uh, help start Facebook.

01:37:37.080 I mean, he's a, he's a big Silicon Valley guy.

01:37:39.940 Uh, but he's also a guy who met with me about the blaze when we were first starting to put

01:37:44.400 the blaze on, um, so he's an open-minded guy, but he has, uh, he's become very, very vocal.

01:37:53.740 He's been vocal for a while, but I think Elon Musk changed a lot of things.

01:37:59.660 And in hearing him in this podcast, uh, he's just, he's talking, it's over.

01:38:05.600 It is over.

01:38:07.220 He is so confident that the cancel culture, that all of this stuff is going to come out,

01:38:15.700 uh, that it is just, it's, it's, we're back to leading the way again.

01:38:21.860 And all of those people have been discredited.

01:38:24.740 It was, to hear it from him was really remarkable.

01:38:29.700 I hope that's true.

01:38:31.340 I, I, I, I know we're catching myself lately thinking things are going really well and feeling

01:38:36.620 optimistic.

01:38:37.160 And then I'm like, wait a minute, this, this never, it never works out like this.

01:38:41.240 Like I know there's always something that happens that, you know, the left's going to

01:38:46.040 have a plan.

01:38:46.860 We know that I know they're not going to sit here and just let everything go by.

01:38:49.580 I know that, but I will tell you though, that it's never.

01:38:54.740 Never been like this.

01:38:56.000 It's never been like this.

01:38:57.020 Not my whole life.

01:38:57.760 What does that mean?

01:38:58.320 Never been like what?

01:38:59.640 It's never been.

01:39:01.380 Okay.

01:39:01.660 So there was a time in the eighties where it felt kind of like this, where like, we're

01:39:06.220 winning, you know what I mean?

01:39:07.380 It's like, yeah, America is what I thought it was.

01:39:09.920 Late eighties, right?

01:39:10.760 Right.

01:39:11.100 Mid late eighties.

01:39:11.820 Right.

01:39:12.000 But that's not what happened.

01:39:13.340 I'm doing a, I'm doing a painting right now called two old goats, uh, greatest of all

01:39:18.340 time.

01:39:18.640 And what it's Reagan and Trump walking, you know, the halls of the white house.

01:39:22.920 And, uh, and I thought as I'm painting it, I'm thinking Reagan was the right goat for

01:39:30.760 that time.

01:39:32.040 And Trump is the right goat for this time.

01:39:34.360 And it wouldn't have worked the same if we switched them.

01:39:38.740 It wouldn't have worked, um, because Reagan, we had confidence that, uh, we could fix things

01:39:47.720 easily.

01:39:48.720 You know what I mean?

01:39:49.720 We had confidence that you just needed to put the right people in and you could fix things

01:39:54.260 because we still had confidence in a lot of stuff.

01:39:56.820 We don't have confidence in our institutions right now.

01:39:59.660 And Donald Trump is coming in and he is exposing all of it.

01:40:04.760 Um, uh, you know, listening to, uh, or even reading Schellenberger, uh, Schellenberger, he

01:40:11.520 is convinced too, that there is, that all of these things are going to be exposed now.

01:40:17.920 He's like enough journalists, uh, have found out that, oh crap, I can't be silent anymore

01:40:26.380 and are starting to be, um, called out and starting to feel more comfortable to say things.

01:40:33.120 He said, he thinks a great, um, exposure is coming.

01:40:40.200 He thinks that the era of being afraid to say something is over because of Bobby Kennedy,

01:40:48.780 uh, Shanahan, um, you know, uh, Joe Rogan, Elon Musk.

01:40:54.980 He thinks that enough people have, have stood up and said, yeah, this is bull crap that the

01:41:03.260 ones who have wanted to say something, but we're too afraid are now standing up.

01:41:08.080 And that, and a lot of those are journalists, at least that's what he believes.

01:41:12.060 And in, in listening to Andreessen, it's the same message.

01:41:15.860 We're in a bubble ourselves because we've been, you know, the, the tortoise in the shell,

01:41:23.040 you know, just putting our head back in cause it's going to get bad, put our head back in

01:41:26.800 cause they're going to beat the snot out of us.

01:41:28.940 And now we still have that reflex of, oh, something bad's going to come in.

01:41:35.980 Cause it always has.

01:41:37.420 It always has.

01:41:39.420 But that may very well be what I, what I'm feeling.

01:41:42.000 I think it's a new era.

01:41:43.680 I really do.

01:41:45.200 I do too.

01:41:45.900 I do too.

01:41:46.320 There's a great article in the show prep today.

01:41:48.540 Let me see if I can find it real quick about, um, Republicans trust, but verify it's from

01:41:54.380 blaze media and it's absolutely true.

01:41:57.660 Any of these people, Tim cook, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg trust yet verify.

01:42:05.600 I don't think any of them now.

01:42:07.440 Andresen says Zuckerberg has changed.

01:42:10.860 He said, yeah, he said he really believes that's an honest change in him.

01:42:15.240 I don't know.

01:42:16.680 Um, but, uh, you know, he, he's been a coward for a very long time.

01:42:21.280 Trust yet verify.

01:42:22.980 Um, and I think we need to do that with every single person that is coming into the administration

01:42:28.900 or our local politics.

01:42:30.280 You know, we were talking to, uh, governor DeSantis earlier on the show today.

01:42:34.480 If you missed it, make sure you listen to the podcast.

01:42:36.620 He's having trouble in, uh, in Florida now with these rhinos and these rhinos are the ones

01:42:43.600 that want to run for his job soon.

01:42:46.120 And they've just voted.

01:42:48.340 They called him back in session, which pissed them off because how dare you?

01:42:51.720 This is a publicity stunt.

01:42:52.860 No, it's not.

01:42:53.960 He's saying we as a state have to dedicate our resources to help Donald Trump get rid of

01:43:00.900 the illegal aliens.

01:43:01.880 So I want everybody back in session to vote on some things to get it done.

01:43:06.780 And what they did was, you know, E verify.

01:43:09.680 You don't have to have that.

01:43:10.960 If you work in the agricultural department, what are you talking about that?

01:43:15.120 Well, you don't need to know if you're a citizen, if you're picking oranges, don't

01:43:20.280 you think that would be kind of a prime spot?

01:43:22.620 And so as the czar, again, the rhinos, the Republicans in Florida, they vote in and they

01:43:31.700 say, yeah, we're going to make a, uh, immigration czar, but he's also the head of the agriculture

01:43:37.040 section.

01:43:37.980 Come on.

01:43:39.800 And they just gutted, uh, this thing and then named it Trump.

01:43:45.200 It's like true Republicans under Mounties, whatever, uh, right.

01:43:55.020 It's some acronym that says, oh, we're true blue.

01:43:58.200 We're going to go after these illegals like crazy.

01:44:01.320 In fact, it's named Trump.

01:44:04.200 Oh, come on.

01:44:05.740 Do you really think, what do you work for the New York magazine?

01:44:09.460 Do you really think we're that stupid still?

01:44:12.820 Uh, Florida, please prove me correct on this, that we're not that stupid, uh, call your,

01:44:20.860 uh, your representative.

01:44:22.100 If you live in Florida and say, Hey, we, you know, we have one chance and any of you mealy

01:44:31.280 mouth Republicans, we will remember you.

01:44:35.260 That's not a threat.

01:44:36.600 That's a promise.

01:44:38.180 We will primary you and we will vote you out.

01:44:41.960 We will work so hard to raise money against you, Texas.

01:44:46.140 You should listen to this because this is what's happening in, in Texas.

01:44:49.120 As you rhinos in the, in the state house are playing your little games and given all the

01:44:56.120 power to the Republicans.

01:44:57.720 Believe me, we have a, we're the state that remembers the Alamo.

01:45:02.740 You don't think we can remember what happened three years from now.

01:45:06.680 Come on, come on, uh, call your, uh, your state legislator.

01:45:12.700 If you are in Florida and, uh, tell them to follow DeSantis, not the rump.

01:45:19.120 I'm sorry.

01:45:20.240 Trump people that are actually not Trump people.

01:45:23.600 They're rump people.

01:45:25.020 Back in just a second.

01:45:27.940 All right.

01:45:28.380 We are here.

01:45:28.960 It is time for, uh, gosh, we're only a couple of weeks away from the big game.

01:45:33.460 I don't know if you heard Glenn, uh, Philadelphia Eagles made it.

01:45:36.360 I don't know if you heard another team.

01:45:37.640 I don't know if you heard it.

01:45:38.440 And it's not worth mentioning until about the last 90 seconds of the game.

01:45:42.020 The, uh, Kansas city chiefs are in it too.

01:45:44.880 I really wish what you just said isn't true, but it does feel like it is always true.

01:45:49.200 I don't like it.

01:45:50.460 I don't like it, but boy, he performs under pressure.

01:45:53.040 It's incredible.

01:45:53.600 I mean, look, I wish, I wish it wasn't my home.

01:45:55.900 So I wish it wasn't, but it, uh, you look, you can, you can, I might have a depressing

01:46:00.480 outing, uh, that particular Sunday, Glenn might feel a little depressed after that Sunday,

01:46:04.720 but you can win with prize picks and it'll turn your meat, your mood around just a little

01:47:46.960 Uh, but, uh, the one that's, I guess, leading the pack is Microsoft.

01:47:52.500 No, that would be a very bad idea.

01:49:53.660 Wah, wah, wah, wah.

01:49:56.280 Pretty good at that note.

01:49:57.360 Uh, welcome to the, uh, Glenn Beck program.

01:50:00.400 Uh, boy, there are no crazy ideas, uh, right now.

01:50:03.320 It is an interesting time to be alive in America.

01:50:06.580 Senator Mike Lee is joining me now.

01:50:08.420 Yesterday, he proposed, uh, using letters of mark and reprisal, uh, to weaken the drug

01:50:14.900 cartels.

01:50:15.600 And I, I mean, I'm in love with this old timey constitutional idea, uh, but it basically

01:50:23.220 would make private citizens or companies, um, it'd give them permission to be kind of like

01:50:30.800 pirates where they could just go and just bust them up and take all their booty, uh, as long

01:50:36.500 as, you know, they share it with the United States.

01:50:39.020 Um, it would, it would be great.

01:50:40.860 We wouldn't, it would cheaper and we wouldn't have to put our military in harm's way.

01:50:44.960 Mike Lee joins me now, Mike, uh, explain the letters of mark and reprisal.

01:50:52.640 A letter of mark and reprisal, uh, amounts to a government issued commission of sorts,

01:50:59.280 authorizing private citizens, uh, known as private tears to perform acts that would otherwise

01:51:04.460 be considered piracy, like attacking enemy ships during wartime.

01:51:08.660 And private tears are typically rewarded with a cut of whatever loot they bring home.

01:51:13.940 If they're able to make it back to the United States and bring home assets that can be sold,

01:51:19.720 liquidated, reduced to an economic value, then, uh, the government sets up what's called a prize

01:51:24.740 court, which decides, uh, who gets what.

01:51:28.580 And typically the government keeps half of it and then, uh, has a system for giving the private

01:51:35.260 tiers involved in it, each, each, their, uh, their fair share of the other 50%.

01:51:41.760 So, so these guys, let's say Eric Prince, uh, Eric Prince loves this idea.

01:51:48.720 He was like, I'm all in, he would go down to the border and he would what break up the

01:51:55.560 cartels, uh, by as they're shipping stuff across the border, grab their cash, their guns, their

01:52:01.140 cars, they're using boats, whatever, uh, and the drugs, and then give those to the government

01:52:09.000 and the government would say, okay, Eric, this part is yours.

01:52:13.220 Yeah.

01:52:13.720 Now, to be clear, when you say the border, um, we're talking outside the United States,

01:52:18.180 I don't think this works for things found in the United States, but if outside the United

01:52:23.720 States, they recover assets, uh, typically what we'd be looking at are assets that could be

01:52:29.820 liquidated by the government, uh, gold, silver cash, um, equipment, if they can bring those

01:52:37.820 things back into the United States and they can then be sold.

01:52:40.620 Now that also raises the question of the, of the drugs, obviously we're not going to allow

01:52:44.080 those to be sold.

01:52:45.800 And so you'd either have to exclude those or the government would just have to go out of

01:52:49.780 pocket to reward them, uh, for bringing that back in.

01:52:52.980 And that's one of the things that would have to be discussed.

01:52:54.920 This is a tool that hasn't been used by the United States for a long time, but it's a

01:53:00.720 tool that harnesses, you know, self-interest, it harnesses what people could gain by this

01:53:06.280 in a way that could really be advantageous to the United States.

01:53:09.660 Boy, I got to tell you, I love this idea.

01:53:12.000 Uh, Donald, uh, Trump Jr.

01:53:14.220 Loves this idea.

01:53:15.760 Um, but it does seem like something that Mexico would hate.

01:53:22.040 Sure, sure.

01:53:25.560 I mean, it depends on who you're talking about within Mexico, uh, hardworking individual

01:53:30.980 Mexican citizens who have, uh, lived under the tyranny of these cartels who have been

01:53:38.180 affected by the violence that is rampant throughout the country and sponsored by the cartels.

01:53:44.980 Uh, a lot of them would, uh, uh, perhaps not, uh, uh, have much of an objection, if any objection

01:53:51.980 at all, um, because they want to be free of this stuff.

01:53:55.540 But yeah, I can imagine that the Mexican government, uh, might have feelings about it.

01:54:00.540 Yeah.

01:54:00.820 Um, but this is different.

01:54:02.720 This is different in the sense that it's, it's not the United States, uh, undertaking any

01:54:08.420 kind of an effort to have a military presence in Mexico, which would of course be unacceptable

01:54:12.480 to Mexico.

01:54:13.700 This is about, um, private citizens going out and, um, trying to seize assets of these

01:54:21.660 terror organizations of this international criminal enterprise, bringing it back to the

01:54:27.480 United States with the understanding that they'll be entitled to a cut of about half

01:54:30.900 of it once they get back.

01:54:31.960 So the one thing that I was thinking before this idea was we're going to send in seal

01:54:37.940 teams and, and they'll just be gone before the sun comes up and you'll never know who

01:54:41.960 did it.

01:54:42.300 And there will just be a lot of dead, uh, cartel members, uh, laying there in the sun

01:54:47.100 as it starts to rise.

01:54:48.800 Uh, and you know, Mexico will hate that, but as long as we're gone in the morning, I mean,

01:54:54.740 we've, we've deemed them a terrorist, uh, organization and we have the right to do that.

01:55:00.240 Yeah.

01:55:01.960 Once that happens, uh, you can imagine there might be circumstances in which that would

01:55:08.100 occur.

01:55:08.380 But again, a letter of marketing reprisal allows us to avoid doing that.

01:55:13.160 That creates an additional set of difficulties for us, uh, that we wouldn't face if we were

01:55:18.080 sending in, if we were authorizing privateers to do that.

01:55:21.640 These are matters of degree, of course.

01:55:23.900 Uh, but it would be foolish of us to assume that our only option involves sending in the

01:55:29.660 Marines, so to speak.

01:55:30.640 Uh, U S boots on the ground has a very different feel, uh, than, uh, privateers going in and

01:55:37.740 doing something on their own.

01:55:39.640 And it's one of the reasons why I felt that, uh, important enough, I put out a thread

01:55:43.540 for my base, Mike Lee account in which I explained a brief history of letters and marketing reprisal,

01:55:53.160 how they function and that they ought to be considered here.

01:55:55.380 So, I mean, I really like it.

01:55:58.460 And I like the fact, I mean, I'm for anything constitutional, anything extra constitutional

01:56:03.180 I'm against, but this is in the literally in the constitution that you can do this, but

01:56:09.460 it seems old timey, you know, it does.

01:56:13.020 I mean, does anybody do this anymore?

01:56:16.680 Uh, no.

01:56:17.260 And the United States hasn't done it, um, arguably in over a hundred years, in a couple of hundred

01:56:22.160 years.

01:56:22.660 So, um, but, but the focus, uh, of this would be something that I think may well be perfectly

01:56:30.180 suited for our time.

01:56:31.240 And for this situation where you focus on disrupting supply lines, capturing high value

01:56:36.400 targets, receiving assets like boats, vehicles, cash, gold, equipment used in criminal activities,

01:56:42.480 uh, because we all know, you know, private entities and individuals can operate with a degree of

01:56:49.940 agility that you can't replicate in government, right?

01:56:53.700 Allowing them to adapt quite quickly to the tactics of the cartels and to match those.

01:56:58.880 But what would, what would other countries say?

01:57:02.020 I mean, is anybody using this kind of stuff anymore?

01:57:04.520 I mean, it used to happen when you were, there were pirates, you know, with the, with the black

01:57:09.260 flag with the bones on it, uh, it does anybody use anything like this anymore?

01:57:14.140 What would they say if we started, I don't really care, but what would they say?

01:57:18.240 Not aware of any country using them right now.

01:57:20.680 And I'm sure there are countries that would say, oh, this violates, uh, uh, uh, this or

01:57:25.320 that principle of international law, either of some treaty, uh, that we haven't ratified or

01:57:31.060 of what they refer to as customary international law, which is a fancy way of saying people don't

01:57:35.960 do this anymore.

01:57:37.160 Uh, and so, uh, therefore it violates international law.

01:57:40.700 Uh, but, uh, all of that is beside the point if it is within our authority to do this.

01:57:48.180 And if we haven't forsworn the authority through some treaty that we've ratified, which I'm quite

01:57:53.580 certain we have not.

01:57:55.020 And so that's why this is a tool that we shouldn't take off the table.

01:57:58.480 And it's an idea whose time may well have come.

01:58:01.700 We haven't used it in a long time, but whereas here we've got a different type of adversary

01:58:08.240 than we sometimes face in the past.

01:58:10.220 It's, it's, this is not the government of Mexico, uh, but these are, um, uh, criminal,

01:58:16.000 uh, uh, organizations within Mexico that have an international footprint that affects the

01:58:22.200 United States and that have taken actions that are hostile to the interests of the United

01:58:28.140 States and her citizens.

01:58:29.880 So in this circumstance, it would be irresponsible of us not to consider it.

01:58:34.560 And, and I think, uh, we ought to explore this and correct and perhaps issue some letters

01:58:39.680 of mark and reprisal.

01:58:40.740 The fact that it hasn't happened in a long time, uh, likely since the 1800s doesn't mean

01:58:47.260 that the power doesn't exist.

01:58:48.600 And it certainly doesn't mean that we couldn't benefit from it.

01:58:51.400 Right.

01:58:52.320 Uh, Mike, uh, I love this idea.

01:58:54.260 Um, I hope it gains some, uh, traction just because it will make Mexico, you know, I was

01:58:59.420 talking to my wife the other, the other night about this.

01:59:01.380 And I said, you know, she said, what would Mexico say?

01:59:03.960 And I said, you know, just like you said, the people of Mexico will love this because

01:59:08.060 they're tired of this.

01:59:09.340 You'd know pretty quickly who's under the thumb of the cartels and who's not.

01:59:14.280 Um, just like we would with our government.

01:59:16.040 If somebody was coming in and saying, Hey, you've got terrorist organizations and we're going

01:59:19.740 to take them out, if we knew them to be terrorist organizations, I think, you know, we might,

01:59:24.820 we might say, well, come on now we can take care of that.

01:59:27.780 But if they could do it for us, I'm, I'm all for that.

01:59:32.040 I'd be all for that.

01:59:32.940 The people who would be against it are the ones that are really under the thumb of the

01:59:37.460 cartels.

01:59:37.980 And the people of Mexico should know who those people are as if they don't already know.

01:59:42.020 Um, Mike, what, one last, uh, one, one last thing.

01:59:45.700 How do you think RFK is going to fare in the Senate?

01:59:48.020 Look, he faces a tough fight.

01:59:52.960 Uh, Democrats are, uh, institutionally inclined to oppose anyone who was once part of their

02:00:00.480 party and has now moved in the other direction, particularly someone with as prominent a name

02:00:06.940 as RFK Jr.

02:00:08.920 has, and particularly someone who has shown a degree of contempt for the deep state, for

02:00:15.140 the administrative state, for things that have gone wrong.

02:00:17.980 And so we're going to have to rely on, my hope is that we can pick up some democratic

02:00:23.200 votes.

02:00:23.880 You're for him.

02:00:24.600 Assume that we won't be able to, and that we need to be ready to produce enough Republicans

02:00:29.100 to make sure that he gets through, just as we did with Pete Tagsa.

02:00:31.920 I think it will be a tight vote there.

02:00:34.960 I do think he'll get through, but it's by no means certain.

02:00:38.060 And that's why we've got a lineup, uh, uh, behind him to support him.

02:00:41.300 And you're for him.

02:00:42.600 Oh, 100%.

02:00:43.800 Had a great meeting with him the other day.

02:00:46.140 And, um, I, uh, I, I think he brings to the table an innovative approach with a fresh

02:00:52.620 set of eyes that can see that, uh, we've created a lot of problems through our own government.

02:00:57.880 The very department that he's been asked to head as the secretary of health and human

02:01:02.380 services has been a big part of the problem.

02:01:05.540 He recognizes that that's exactly why we need him in there.

02:01:08.300 Uh, and, uh, uh, our other, uh, nominees is, is cash Patel going to get through?

02:01:16.020 Yeah.

02:01:16.640 Okay.

02:01:16.860 So similarly, uh, to what we face with RFK, um, with cash Patel and also with, um, uh,

02:01:27.860 Tulsi, Tulsi Gabbard, uh, we're going to have to confront both of those with the expectation

02:01:34.640 that we may not get a single democratic vote.

02:01:37.580 And so that's why Republicans are so important.

02:01:40.060 Remember it's unusual for an incoming president to not have his top level picks, uh, supported

02:01:47.780 by pretty much every member of the president's own party in confirmation votes.

02:01:55.740 And we've, we've, we've got to remember that.

02:01:58.140 And so a lot of the same people who are on the list of those who might oppose them are

02:02:04.780 people who time and time again, voted to confirm democratic nominees, uh, uh, named by

02:02:10.000 president Biden.

02:02:11.240 I hope they will give Republican nominees, uh, nominated by president Trump, at least the

02:02:16.900 same degree of deference that they goes, that they gave to those nominated by president

02:02:20.600 Biden often, by the way, with the justification that he is the elected president.

02:02:24.920 Uh, we, we, we, we, we, we can't run the world as if our guy were president.

02:02:29.960 Well, if that's the case, it should be the case here.

02:02:32.160 Well, uh, that's a nice way of saying what I believe, which is vote these weasels out.

02:02:38.000 If they, if they, uh, fail to support the, the president, we have one shot at this and

02:02:44.100 so far Donald Trump and, uh, those who are supporting him are doing amazing things in

02:02:50.420 the first week, uh, things that I never thought I would see.

02:02:53.920 And, uh, and I'm, I, for one, I'm excited about it.

02:02:56.660 Mike, thank you very much.

02:02:57.920 Appreciate it.

02:02:58.720 Thank you so much.

02:02:59.500 Great to be with you.

02:03:00.100 Senator Mike Lee.

02:03:00.680 Uh, let me tell you about a Patriot mobile.

02:03:02.920 When it comes to your mobile carrier, if you had to choose between great service or giving

02:03:06.400 your money to a company that believes in and supports your values, which would you choose?

02:03:11.780 Uh, well, I would choose both.

02:03:12.940 Quite honestly, I don't want to give up one for the other.

02:03:15.540 You don't have to, when it comes to mobile phone service, it's Patriot mobile.

02:03:19.900 You can have both.

02:03:21.420 If you switch to Patriot mobile, which is why I partner with Patriot mobile.

02:03:25.840 They're America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company.

02:03:29.060 Their mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms

02:03:32.560 and to glorify God.

02:03:33.500 Always.

02:03:33.980 They offer nationwide dependable coverage with access to all three major networks.

02:03:38.940 You'll get the same coverage without sending money to your leftist causes.

02:04:15.020 This is Glenn Beck.

02:04:17.360 Welcome to the, uh, the Glenn Beck program.

02:04:37.860 Uh, the Colony Ridge, uh, which we did a, one of our first, uh, documentaries on, uh, is

02:04:46.600 the, uh, is that big community of just, just good people that just want to be Americans,

02:04:52.560 uh, that they were, you know, making loans to, but they don't, they're not even asking

02:04:56.880 any questions about those loans.

02:04:58.380 You don't have to be a U.S.

02:04:59.360 I said, what did, Oh, I don't need to know that information.

02:05:01.880 So it's this huge, huge community in Houston.

02:05:06.460 That's a lot of illegals.

02:05:09.540 Uh, I would say all illegals, but that seems a little rash to say that when I don't know

02:05:14.640 for a fact.

02:05:16.260 Um, but, uh, you know, the, the, their gangs in there and everything else.

02:05:21.360 Well, the government's going to clean it out.

02:05:23.120 And, uh, let me just say this.

02:05:24.920 It couldn't happen to a bunch of nicer people than the people that are running Colony Ridge.

02:05:29.540 Uh, you're going to be left with a ghost town, a big ghost town.

02:05:35.520 Cause I don't know who's going to live there.

02:05:37.380 Who's going to live there.

02:05:39.380 You did a documentary on this, right?

02:05:41.000 Yeah.

02:05:41.480 It's on blaze TV right now.

02:05:43.020 And it's, it's really worth seeing to see what they're going to clean up.

02:05:46.280 Yeah, it's great.

02:05:46.700 I mean, we, my documentary was on the DEI and the FAA, which also seems like it's gone.

02:05:52.100 I mean, like within the first week.

02:05:53.860 Like, yeah, how are they going to, how are pilots going to handle the loss of Pete Buttigieg?

02:05:58.920 Oh my gosh.

02:06:00.100 Well, they'll handle it really well.

02:06:01.560 Uh, by the way, uh, you know, we wondered if it was going to change the mind of California,

02:06:05.400 if they're going to change their ways, you know, this whole fire thing.

02:06:08.680 Uh, Mayor Karen Bass still has a 37% approval rating.

02:06:13.700 That's pretty low though, but that's incredibly high for her.

02:06:17.520 It's incredibly high for what happened.

02:06:19.180 I mean, you know, a good portion of the biggest city in America burns to the ground and you're

02:06:26.580 like, I don't know.

02:06:27.300 I'd still kind of like her.

02:06:29.180 I think she did pretty well.

02:06:30.460 I mean, I didn't have firemen out or water or there was, but yeah, there was a poll out

02:06:36.580 that said Caruso would beat her if they did.

02:06:38.260 They did the election again, which I will believe when I actually see it, you know,

02:06:42.460 like you can't say, oh, well, when, when, if it happened then, you know, I don't buy it yet.

02:06:47.400 I have to see them actually elect someone sane before I believe it.

02:06:51.620 I would like to see if they even try to get her out of office.

02:06:55.220 I mean, is that going to happen?

02:06:57.540 Otherwise, California, you're dead to me.

02:07:00.640 You're dead to me.

02:07:04.660 This is Glenn Beck.
