Holy cow, we've got a lot going on
today with the State of the Union address.
Also, pushing back on some
pathetic attempts to fact-check
Donald Trump's address.
There's not enough information
to know if that's true yet.
Okay.
and the bride of Charlie.
America, we need to talk.
That and so much more on today's podcast.
We have built a world where almost everything is on demand.
You need groceries, they'll be there in an hour.
Need a ride, tap a button.
There's one thing that doesn't always show up on demand,
and that is medical care,
especially when the system gets strained
or when you're farther away from help than you expected to be.
We don't like to think about that.
We just assume that our pharmacy is always going to be open,
We assume that we'll all be well on vacation.
We assume the clinic will have appointments.
We assume the supply chain won't break down.
But that's why Jace Medical exists.
The Jace case is a package of doctor-prescribed antibiotics and emergency medications
that you can order online and have shipped directly to your home.
Real medications prescribed by licensed physicians stored safely and available if you need them.
And they don't stop there.
Their doctors can also help you with a long-term supply of daily medications
and other practical preparedness options.

Hello, America.
You know we've been fighting every single day.
We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.
We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.
But to keep this fight going, we need you.
Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the...
the Glenn Beck podcast. Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us
break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast.
This is a movement and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing,
you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share.
Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work.
You're listening to The Best of the Glenbeck Program.
There's something else that we're blind to.
And everybody is forcing everybody to get into this fight.
And I'm not getting into the fight.
I'm just not going to do it.
And here's why.
I have a policy on school shooters.
And I don't always hold to it, but I try.
I don't want to mention the name of school shooters
because that's what they want.
That's what they thrive on.
is attention to whatever it is they're wanting to talk about.
I'm not going to give it to them because I know that's what they want.
But I do from time to time feel I should say something
and not about the personalities, but about principles.
If you've listened to this show, when we started, you know, the Tea Party started,
and that was all about politics.
And I said, the 9-12 project is not about politics.
It's about principles, values and principles.
That's what this show is.
If you, and I'm not talking about you, those who say, you know,
Glenn Beck hasn't spoken out about this and he's got to speak out about it.
Go to hell.
Who are you to tell me what I have to do?
Second thing, if you don't know where I stand on issues,
especially when it is regarding Jews, you don't know.
By now you've never listened to this show.
Okay?
you never listen to this show.
And if you think that you are more outraged than I am,
have your children been dragged into it?
Have your children been questioned?
Like, why were they there?
You know, he loves the Jews,
and they were suspiciously close to him when he died.
Were your children brought into it?
Because mine were.
For me, it's personal.
But that's no business of yours or anybody else.
That's for me and my wife and my family.
I want to talk to you about principles.
So let me lay out a couple of principles here.
I've lived my life since I was 13 years old behind a microphone.
Okay.
And I have been successful and a failure and successful and failed and successful again.
Okay.
I've lived long enough to see what fame can do to me and to others.
and it's not the applause that's harmless on the surface,
not the money because that's just paper on the surface.
Fame is battery acid for the soul.
I've said that for a long time,
but I want to go into this principle a bit.
Fame burns slowly.
It doesn't scar all at once.
It corrods you from the inside.
It corrods your identity.
If you don't know who you are before the spotlight hits you,
That bright, garish spotlight, that spotlight will then tell you who you are.
And it will lie to you every step of the way.
This is an important principle for you to understand because the spotlight is on all of us.
When I got into this, I had to work to build an audience.
Now, members of my audience have an audience.
You can have an audience.
This applies to all of us.
in this age of social media, being the one is very dangerous.
And when I say the one, the one that's trending, the one that it's exposing, the one that is feared,
the one that's being debated about, the one that is changing minds and hearts, the one,
whatever it is, it's intoxicating.
And it feels like purpose.
It feels like destiny.
It feels like righteousness.
Yeah, but it's a drug.
And it's interesting because you are both a user and the dealer.
Because media, social media or mainstream media, it's not, you are using the drug and it's lying to you.
But you're also dealing the drug because you might have hit something that was honest,
but then if things start to slide at all, you have to find out what that next honest
thing is that will take you to the next level. And that's really hard. You have to be able to walk
away from all of it. You have to be able to say it's not that important to me. You have to be,
how many times have I offended this audience? How many times have you probably listened to the show
and went, what the hell is wrong with you? Why would you say that? Do you not know who the audience is?
Yeah, I do. I do. And there have been times when I've almost driven you away because
I felt, well, a couple of times because I was arrogant and I thought I knew better than you.
That was a huge mistake. That's my fault. That's stupidity. But other times, like for instance,
when I printed addicted to outrage, thank you, I can barely remember it because it sold like
four books. When I published Addicted Outer Outrage, I knew it wouldn't do well. I knew it
wouldn't do well. But it was important for me to talk about what outrage can do to you.
it was important for me to say you know what I've made mistakes and I've learned from it for me
but when you are when you're addicted to that high you addict others to that high as well you've got to
keep the audience high which means you have to push harder you have to dig deeper you have to
reveal something darker something more shocking than what I told you yesterday something even
more forbidden because yesterday's outrage isn't a big enough drug. That's what got me high yesterday.
It won't get me high today. And sometimes that pursuit uncovers real corruption. Sometimes it does
serve justice. But sometimes, if we're honest, it becomes escalation for the sake of escalation,
not because truth demands it, but because the machine demands it. And once you walk down that road,
stopping walking down the road is almost impossible.
You have no idea.
When I left Fox, it screwed with me for four years.
Hard.
It is so hard to walk away.
So hard.
Roger Ailes told me you're not walking away.
Nobody ever does.
When he said that, I realized, oh my gosh, I really now have to walk away because he's right.
Nobody does.
But when you walk away from just the outrage,
part, not the fame, just the outrage part. I guarantee you, you're going to be accused of selling out.
If you show restraint, you've been compromised. If you choose mercy, you're protecting evil.
And it's the very crowd that lifted you up that will turn on you the moment you refuse to go
further. One of the saddest things for me is you've listened to me for 25 or 30 years.
And I can say one thing and all of a sudden you'll say, you're a traitor.
It's like, what?
Really? Is that how shallow our relationship is?
This is principle.
And here's the principle that I think we have to defend.
And it goes right to the bride of Charlie Kirk.
Can we leave the grieving to their grief?
You may not like somebody.
You may not trust somebody.
You might disagree with them.
You might believe they're wrong about everything, but grief is sacred ground, and it's not battleground for speculation.
If someone dies and you believe a crime occurred, there's a process to that.
There are investigators.
There are courts.
If you have evidence, give it to the authorities.
If you have resources, quietly fund the pursuit of facts.
You don't conduct a trial through thumbnails and trailers.
Let me explain it this way, because I'm a former alcoholic DJ.
Let's say a small town family loses their father in an accident, suspicious, however.
The town is divided.
Rumors are starting to swirl.
And one local radio host like me begins asking questions, not with evidence, but with feelings.
I don't know.
I feel.
And they're very, very guarded and careful.
They'll hint, they'll imply they will be.
build the audience on suspicion, but they'll never truly accuse because I'm going to pay for that one in a court of law.
But I have this feeling.
What happens?
Soon the widow can't buy groceries without whispers every time she goes into the store.
The children hear theories about their mom at school.
Five months later, nothing has been proven, but the damage is permanent.
And even if later the host says, you know, I was just asking questions.
the community is fractured. That damage is permanent. That's the principle at stake. Free speech
matters deeply. I will defend someone's right to say the things. I will defend their right to say
the despicable things they've said about my children and me because they have a right to say it.
And the moment we start silencing people that we disagree with, we lose. We lose our freedom. We lose
the Republic. But free speech is not the same as moral obligation and responsibility. Free speech
comes with responsibility. And the First Amendment protects your right to speak. It does not compel you
to speak. It doesn't sanctify escalation. It does not require you to monetize suspicion.
because there's a difference between investigation and insinuation,
between courage and compulsion,
between truth-seeking and audience-feeding.
And fame, if you're not careful, convinces you that every instinct must be broadcast.
I suffer with this so badly.
I don't know, I have this feeling.
I should say that.
No.
Not everything you think, not every suspicion,
needs to be shared. Not every silence is weakness. Sometimes it's strength. Sometimes restraint is the
highest form of strength. We should be rallying around principles that make us more human,
not more viral, decency, process, presumption of innocence, respect for grief. It's been five months.
Put yourself.
If this society can no longer put itself in another man's shoes and see what those five months must be like,
and you were dogpiling in the first three weeks, we're a lost society.
Once we normalize turning mourning into content, none of us are safe from being content ourselves.
The culture that rewards behavior like this isn't just influencers.
It's us because we click, we share, we debate, we fuel the machine, we demand people get involved.
And that demand creates supply.
So instead of saying, what the hell happened to fill in the blank of the influencer,
what the hell has happened to the right or to the left?
maybe the question is what is happening to us if we don't anchor ourselves in who we are and my opinion
shouldn't matter more than your opinion glen's got to speak out on this because his opinion my
opinion is no more important than your opinion if you are waiting for me to endorse your
opinion you're lost don't have power there's power in you but you got to know
know these things before the likes, before the numbers, before the praise, or all of us are going
to be swept away by whatever gets the most reaction. Truth requires patience. Justice requires
evidence. Grief requires space. These are not partisan values. These are civilization values.
If you lose the civilizational values, it doesn't matter who wins the argument.
Let me tell you about American Giant.
Long before algorithms, you know, there were calloused hands shaping steel and cotton and timber into something lasting.
There were men and women who measured twice, cut once, and took pride in a finished product that could be passed down through generations, not tossed out.
Quality back then was not a marketing term.
It was a personal standard.
And somewhere along the way, we started optimizing for speed and scale instead of durability and things got cheaper.
faster, more disposable. And so we ship many manufacturing jobs overseas because it was cheap.
American Giant decided, you know what, I think it's time to go in the other direction.
And they build their clothing here in America. They work with American factories and American
workers who still believe how something is made actually matters from the fabric to the stitching
to the focus on craftsmanship and long-term wear, not just what looks good on a website.
When production is close to home, standards aren't abstract.
They're visible.
They're accountable because something made with callous hands tend to last longer than something designed by an algorithm.

Now back to the podcast.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Last night was not a speech.
Last night, it was a mirror.
And if you were watching carefully, not through Twitter, not through the spin room, not through cable chiron's,
but actually watching the room, you saw something that you should concern every Democratic strategist in America.
You saw something in the room that if you vote for the Democrats should have made you question,
who am I standing with?
The damage was not done by the president.
The damage was done by the people who refused to stand or clap for the most obvious things.
Let me say something plainly here.
This was the best speech President Trump has ever given.
I mean, you want to talk about a mic drop.
And I urge you, go back and look at when he was walking out.
I mean, I think you will see it.
Now, when I point this out, you will see it.
When he's walking out and he's shaking people's hands on the way out, the guy looks 20 years younger.
He looks like he's 60 when he's walking out.
He walked in strong, clear, disciplined, not tired, not wandering.
He was on prompter, yes, but he commanded the prompter, unlike any time I've ever seen him give a speech.
He had humor that landed.
He had key moments like the hockey team that was human, that was light, that was confident.
The opening statistics, I thought were overwhelming.
Rapid fire, border, inflation, energy, jobs.
There was a rhythm to this speech.
The most important thing is he did not look like he was defensive.
And Donald Trump has been on the default.
for most of his presidency, not necessarily this term, but last term.
And then when he was running for president, and even towards the beginning of this first or this
second term, he has been saying, look, it's going to be great.
He no longer had to say that.
Last night, he was on the offense.
Last night, he looked certain.
he knew what he had done
and he was commanding as president of the United States
but that's not the story although that's big news
that's not the story
the story was the Democrats
when you have a third of them
not standing for the U.S. hockey team
what is going on
no real applause for the Olympics
or the World Cup coming to America,
muted response for the first World War II veteran,
polite, restrained clapping for the Coast Guard rescue mission.
What?
The moment that was the most powerful moment I have ever seen any president give
other than Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall.
There was no moment in presidential history in my lifetime that was as strong as that until last night.
Stand if you agree the first job of government is to protect the American citizen and not foreign citizens.
That's the easiest applause line ever presented in American politics.
That is, you shouldn't even think.
Stand up. That's not even partisan.
Is the job of the American government, Congress, to protect the American city, a citizen, or illegals, or foreign citizens?
What happened?
Hesitation, folding of arms, looking down, no one clapping, no one standing up on that side of the aisle.
Just play this out with me.
That's something that even if you don't believe in, you stand up for.
It's something that you go, like, I don't believe in this, but this is going to look really, really bad.
We all got to stand up.
You don't damage your opponent when you do that.
You damage your brand.
This was the worst night for any brand and maybe twice as bad for the night that Coca-Cola.
Cola came out and said, we're getting rid of the original recipe and we're going right for new
Coke. I mean, that did brand damage like I've never seen before. This, I'm not sure the
Democrats survive the brand damage that they're doing right now. You know what I mean?
When you, you can't stand for that? The American people last night were not watching like
operatives. They were watching like parents. And parents understand.
stand instinctively. If you can't stand for protecting citizens, something is very broken. Something
is very wrong. The border section was devastating to the Democrats. Angel moms. Elizabeth stabbed 24
times. Delilah crushed by an 18-wheeler. Now a little girl in first grade kissing her father.
You don't stand for that?
Calling for commercial license to be denied to illegal immigrants because of her and calling it Delilah's law.
And you can't stand for that?
You can't clap for removing dangerous rapist and criminals from the country.
Think about this.
We can disagree on immigration policy all you want.
We can debate visa quotas.
You can argue about asylum refurb.
form. But when you can't stand for deporting violent criminals, that's not a strategy. That's the end of
your brand. That's moral confusion. I was stunned by that because America looked at that and went,
do these people hate our country? Do they hate America? The average person, you had to walk away
with that. The contrast on all of it, I mean, the economic contrast, very sharp. He talked about,
you know, inflation and how they drove up inflation by spending too much energy. They drove
up inflation because they stopped drilling, you know. And he said, you caused this. Your policies
caused this. I'm fixing it. Crushing health care costs. Everybody in the country knows
healthcare is being crushed. It's crushing people. You did, you promised Obamacare. You said it would
fix it. And it hasn't. It's made it worse. And I'm going in and fixing it. When he comes out and
he says, look, you're going to pay, what was it, the IVF thing. I got to get into that.
when he talks about any of the drug costs going from $4,000 to $500,
you can't stand in applause for that?
You can't?
What?
Then taxes.
Did you notice that when they introduced Michael Dell, who gave, what was it, $6 billion,
some crazy amount of money to these, you know, to the, you know, these America accounts?
so your kids can be when they're born they can get an account worth i don't know how much
well michael dell gives he and his wife give i don't remember what it was i think it was
i think it was six billion dollars wasn't it six billion dollars six billion dollars okay
they don't stand for a guy who just gave the nation and the children and the most vulnerable
six billion dollars
They will stand and applaud for, we want to take more of these rich billionaires money, but we're going to take it.
We're going to use it for the IRS.
We're going to take it.
And then, God only knows where that money goes.
They'll cheer for taking and crushing billionaires, but they can't stand and applaud a man who voluntarily gave $6 billion to the government to help children.
That should tell you a ton.
they could not applaud for a deduction on your auto loan for the first time in history.
No tax on tips?
No tax on tips.
They could not applaud for that.
They couldn't applaud when he talked about 401ks are up.
What was it 30% I think?
I mean, I know that you don't feel it.
And quite frankly, it's hard to feel.
I don't feel it.
When I go to a fast food restaurant and I'm rolling out of there and it's just
Tony and I, and we've just spent $35 at McDonald's, I have a hard time going,
inflation's under control.
So I get it.
If you're trying to buy a house, I completely get it.
I don't think the average person feels it yet.
But I don't think the average person has looked at their 401k either.
How much is the average 401k up?
He said, since I took office, the typical 401K balance is up by at least 30,000.
30,000.
Okay.
You can't applaud for that?
You can't applaud.
Actually, I think Elizabeth Warren did.
Applauded for the Wall Street being banned from buying up single family homes.
She also stood for insider trading.
They didn't stand for paying the lowest prescription drug.
drug price paid anywhere in the world. I have always said, Democrats, why do you have a problem
with us overpaying here in America, that we're paying the highest drug price in the world?
Aren't we the wealthiest 1% in the entire world? Of course we are. America is, when you look at it
globally, we are the wealthiest 1% in the world. You always say the wealthiest 1% should pay
more. Well, your drug policy for prescription drugs, the way you, you, you, you
allow America to have her eyes pushed in with the thumbs of the insurance and the drug companies,
it at least fits your view that the wealthiest 1% should pay the highest because as a collective
looking at America, even the poorest, are among the wealthiest 1% in the world.
But he comes in and he says, that's not fair. That's not right. We should not be. We're now paying
the lowest, and you can't recognize that accomplishment?
I mean, you can argue policies.
You can argue whether any of these mechanisms will work long term.
That's fair.
But he was offering mechanisms.
The Democrats last night offered facial expressions, pins that use the full word F.I.
You see, Rashida Taleb?
wearing a pin that said F. Ice, that's appropriate?
They offered angry insults, screaming on the floor.
I mean, do I need to go into Joe Wilson?
Do you remember what that was all about?
Under Obama, during the debate on Obamacare, he said,
look, you got to pass Obamacare.
It's got to be done because it doesn't have anything
that these people say it will.
It will never be used to support health care for illegal aliens.
That's an absolute blatant lie.
It was a blatant lie then.
It's a blatant lie now.
Look at it.
But he said that.
And Joe Wilson could not take it.
And so he said, you lie.
What happened?
What happened?
It was like the whole world caved in.
You can't do that.
How dare you say that?
He had to apologize the next day.
The president then accepted his apology, but that wasn't good enough for the Democrats.
They didn't accept it.
You know, John McCain, everybody was on fire because he said two words, you lie.
Last night, they were screaming, you kill Americans from the floor.
Representatives were screaming, you kill Americans, and nobody says anything.
It was incredible.
When he said Republicans voted for tax cuts and every Democrat voted against them, they sat.
When he said, stop insider trading in Congress.
Elizabeth Warren stood.
Democrats did not.
when he said we're putting the American worker first arms folded.
Do you know what the American voters saw last night?
Resentment.
Resentment.
Hatred for America.
It was the most patriotic speech I have seen given by a president in a very long time.
And they looked like they hated America.
You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck.
Need a little more?
Check out the full show podcasts.
Anywhere you download podcasts.
I want to start with the audio,
which I have never, ever seen anything like it.
He is calling out, where is that audio here?
Okay, this, cut 13.
Listen to this where he is just asking people, just stand.
Just stand if you believe this.
Listen.
So tonight I'm inviting every legislature to join with my administration
in reaffirming a fundamental principle.
If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support.
The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not a legal alien.
They're not clapping.
The Democrats, none of them are standing.
None of them.
And Donald Trump just motions towards them.
Like, look at that.
Look at this.
This is the biggest political mistake I've ever seen a party make.
Isn't that in a shame?
You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities.
Okay.
Stop.
Do you notice?
I've never heard the president speak so forcefully as, I mean, he was almost talking like this a couple of times where you're like, what is happening?
It's because he was trying to drown out the shouts from the high schoolers that call themselves congressmen who were shouting, you kill American citizens.
I mean, insane stuff. That's why he was shouting so loud.
That's why I'm introducing because he wanted to drown them out.
I've never seen anything like it from a country that went from Joe Wilson saying you lie and the whole nation stopped.
How dare you do that to the president of the United States?
I don't care if you disagree with them or not.
You don't disrespect the president in the state of the union.
To that, I was surprised they didn't start throwing things at him.
And I mean that sincerely.
I was shocked they didn't start throwing things at him.
it was not a good look.
Now, do we have the place to where he is talking about here?
Let's play cut 12, him calling for the, you know, for ending the shutdown.
Listen to this.
Cut 12.
As we speak, Democrats in this chamber have cut off all funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
It's all cut off.
It's all cut off.
They have instituted another Democrat shutdown,
the first one costing us two points on GDP.
Two points we lost on GDP,
which probably made them quite happy, actually.
Now they have closed the agency responsible
for protecting Americans from terrorists and murders.
Tonight I'm demanding the full
and immediate restoration of all funding
for the border security,
Homeland Security,
of the United States and also for helping people clean up their snow.
We have no money because of the Democrats.
And it would be nice.
You'd love to give your hand to clean it up, but you gave no money.
Nobody's getting paid.
It's a shame.
So you have to think about it.
We have, in case you didn't know, pretty large snowstorm out there.
You know what he didn't say?
You want to be petty, but accurate.
But anybody who thought he was petty.
know what he didn't say has been defunded?
Secret service.
Secret service, DHS and Secret Service,
as they continue to try to kill this president,
their defunding secret service.
To me, that took a man much bigger than me
because I would have said,
I've had attempt on my life after attempt on my life,
and you people are responsible because you keep saying I'm a Nazi,
and you have the gall to cut the budget and stop paying secret service to protect not just me,
but are judges and some of you.
How dare you do that?
You have a responsibility to protect the constitutional order.
He didn't say that.
and he would have had every right.
They just tried to kill him again.
He had every right to do that.
Every right.
Now, it's amazing to me how some people are saying,
you know, well, he didn't get any of facts right.
He didn't get any of the facts right?
What?
So let's look at what he said last night,
because a lot of them that they say he didn't get right,
well, it was mostly true,
but we don't have enough evidence.
yet. Okay, that doesn't make it false. Okay. The economy. I had inherited a nation in crisis with
stagnant economy, inflation at record levels. Uh, yep. Yep. The economy was, was not growing. Um, now, BLS said
it wasn't stagnant. Um, he says inflation is plummeting, core inflation down to the lowest level in
more than five years and the last three months of 2020.
it was down to 1.7%.
The BLS says core CPI is at 2.5 to 2.6 year over year,
December and January 26, the lowest in years, but not at 1.7.
Gasoline, he said, now below $2.30 a gallon in most states, $1.99, where I've seen it,
and $1.85 a gallon, I saw at a gas station in Iowa.
The press is saying that's false.
The national average is 292 to 295.
Well, it's sure they held better than four bucks a gallon, isn't it?
And that was in February of 2026.
No widespread sub $2.30 prices.
No widespread.
He said I saw a gas station in Iowa,
and in most states, it's $2.30.
cents. That's not sub-230, is it? Interesting. Mortgage rates are the lowest in four years and falling fast. The annual cost of a typical new mortgage is down almost $5,000 since I took office. Slight exaggeration is what they mark this. Rates fell in 2025, but not to a four-year low across the board.
Notice that. Exact $5,000 savings, not independently verified at scale. Okay.
The stock market is at 53, all-time record highs.
Dow Jones broke 50,000 four years ahead of schedule.
Mostly true, but exaggerated on 53.
Dow Jones hit 50,000 in early February, not at 53,000.
That's not what he said.
He said the stock market broke 53 records.
Did he not?
He wasn't say he was at 53,000.
it just broke because he follows it all-time highs
Zhao Jones broke 50,000 four years ahead.
Okay, even if it was 50-53.
In 12 months, I've secured commitments
for more than $18 trillion new investments.
Fact checkers, unverifiable.
I mean, where is he getting that number?
Well, no independent, this is a quote,
no independent government or news confirmation
of exact 18 trillion figure in commitments.
Okay, but what?
what is the figure that you have?
If it's not 18 trillion, what is the figure?
Because when you look at those numbers and you add them up,
and if they actually come through,
and this is all you need to say,
$18 trillion, okay, that's what he says,
but that money is trickling in.
There's maybe been a trillion of it that has come in so far.
It's over five years.
We'll watch, but if that happens, then it's true.
American oil production is,
up by more than 600,000 barrels a day. Plausible, but unconfirmed is the exact figure of 600,000.
American natural gas production is at an all-time high. True. More Americans are working today than any
other time in the history of our country. 100% of all jobs created were in the private sector.
True. Let me say that one again. More Americans are working today than at any time in the history of our country.
100% of all jobs created were created in the private sector.
True.
Why is that important?
That's important because we're not growing the size of the government.
All the jobs that have been created during the last administration,
the vast majority of them were all government sector.
They're not.
Okay.
We cut the record number of job-killing regulations, lifted 2.4 million Americans off of food.
stamps. Exaggerated. Snap rolls declined, but exact 2.4 million record, not independently
verified as largest one in one year. Okay. All right. Largest tax cuts in American history.
No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security, interest on auto loans tax
deductible if made in America. Mostly true, they say. The typical 401k balance,
is up by at least $30,000.
Fact checkers, plausible.
Strong 20-25 market gains, boosted balances,
but not exact averages increase varies by source.
So we found another source that said it was, what, 23,000?
The average is up 23,000.
So we're not sure.
23,000, 30,000.
What difference does that make, honestly?
Because there's no verified number.
so you can pick either and say either one of those is true and probably you won't be wrong or that wrong.
The point is, is that America's 401 case, I didn't even think of that.
I didn't think that 401, the average American 401k, let's just use 23,000.
Did you know that?
Nobody's checking their 401ks.
Everybody checked their 401ks in 2008.
I heard every day, do you know how much I've lost in the stock market, you know how much by 401K?
how am I going to retire? In the last year, if your 401k is up $23,000 or $30,000, that's a big deal. In one year.
The flow of deadly fentanyl across our border is down by a record 56% in one year. True. The murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded history. It's the biggest decline, lowest number in over 125 years. Mostly true.
Homicides fell 21% in 2025 across major cities, largest single year drop on record, national rate likely lowest, likely lowest since 1900.
Okay. All right. Members of the Somalia community have pillaged an estimated $19 billion, Minnesota, California, Massachusetts, Maine, even worse.
They say that's exaggerated. Real fraud cases existed in feeding programs.
programs, et cetera, but the totals were in the hundreds of millions, not 19 billion nationwide.
I think we have that to play out yet. And I don't think I take the press on their number
more than I take what the president is saying on the number. I'm telling you right now,
a third of our debt, a third of our debt is going to, in the end, be because of fraud.
That's how big I think the fraud is in the United States government.
I think a third of our debt, not our deficit, our yearly deficit.
What did he say yesterday?
I think he said, didn't he say half or a third of our debt?
He said we would wipe out our national deficit.
If we just eliminate the fraud, we will wipe out our national deficit and we will balance the books.
I think that is absolutely true.
Absolutely true.
Crime in D.C. is now at the lowest level ever recorded and murders in D.C.
This January, we're down close to 100%.
Fact checked.
Exaggerated. Homicides are down sharply.
67% year-to-date, early 2026 versus prior.
January, 26. Very low.
Only one to two cases.
Not almost no crime or exactly 100%.
That's how they are not almost no crime.
or exactly 100%.
Okay, all right.
Well, we get it.
The point is that when he said that,
and he said crime is down dramatically,
we're at the lowest crime in over 100 years,
the murder rate is down.
The Democrats didn't applaud.
