Starting point is 00:00:00 As a gun owner, I understand the importance of being prepared, but it is crucial to recognize that according to law enforcement statistics, 99% of all altercations do not require lethal force. That's why I endorse Berna. I believe in the power of the gun. But a less than lethal self-defense tool is Burna, and it is great. My children have it. They're all over 18. I have it.

He's running for our attorney general of the great state of Texas. And waiting for us right now is the governor of the great state of Texas. We're going to talk a little bit about Sharia law and the Muslim Brotherhood in just a second. First, let me tell you about blinds.com.
Starting point is 00:03:00 There's a strange way a house can feel almost finished and still kind of feel off.

Starting point is 00:03:58 Governor Abbott, how are you, sir? Hey, I'm doing great. How you do it? I'm good. You know, the last time you were on, I think, we were talking about Sharia law and what you were doing, you know, to, you know, curb the Muslim, the Muslim city, epic city from happening. And right after that, you declared. that the care was a terrorist organization, and they're suing you now, if I'm not mistaken. They filed a lawsuit against you. There's a big story in, I think it's the Houston Chronicle, I was reading earlier today, and they say they've been helping the United States, you know, capture really bad guys. Any response to that?
Starting point is 00:04:45 Well, listen, on CARE, they will say one thing to the press, but also, you mentioned the lawsuit. they say a different thing in court than what they say in the press. And going back to the lawsuit, it's because I issued the proclamation designating CARE as a foreign terrorist organization. They took offense to that. They said, oh, we're a peaceful organization. And in federal court, they filed a complaint rebutting everything that I outlined in that proclamation.
Starting point is 00:05:15 And then we filed an answer or a response to their court pleading. because of the strength of our response, they were required to file an amended pleading in court. And get what they did in their amended pleading that reveals exactly who care is. Let me walk you through four things. One, CARES amended pleading in court deleted numerous assertions that CARE had previously made it in its original pleading. Get this. When they first filed the lawsuit against me, they said they were in full compliance with federal and state law. And then after we filed our answer, they went back and deleted that they were, they were
Starting point is 00:05:58 deleted that they were full of compliance to federal state law and get this, it's going to get worse. They deleted, what they previously said, that they were not affiliated with any foreign organization. They deleted that they were not engaged in terrorism. They deleted, they were not a threat. They deleted they were not a threat to national security. So when they went to court and faced the country, consequences of a judge maybe issuing harsh rulings against them. They started walking back all these things about them that they're saying, all their good citizens and all that kind of
Starting point is 00:06:31 stuff. And this is a concession on their part that actually they are not in compliance with federal and state law, that they are engaged in terrorism, that they are a threat to national security. So I have been talking about care for a very long time, and no one was interested in taking them on, but times have really changed. You know, the same with the Muslim Brotherhood. I know the state of Texas is not the United States.
Starting point is 00:07:00 I know you're serious about it. Are we going to actually follow through? Are we going to see an end to some of these organizations and their shells, their covers? We are, so let me tell you what's going on.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Just a minor note, again, going back to the care lawsuit, that will apply to both Kerr and the Muslim Brotherhood, we got into the courtroom and CARE said, listen, we don't need any discovery. We just need the judge to make a ruling. The judge said, no, no, no, no, no. The state deserves the ability to engage in discovery,
Starting point is 00:07:35 to learn about all these allegations the state has made to back it up. And what that means is we're going to be able to look into their books, their communications, everything they've ever said and done. We're going to be able to follow the money. and find out who's funding them, who they are funding, all that kind of stuff. But in addition to that, as you know, since I last talked to just recently, the president designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization. And that will lead to the, that will unleash all the massive angles of attack by the federal
Starting point is 00:08:12 government to find out everything about the Muslim Brotherhood. And I'll tell you something else, and that is a leader. and the United States House of Representatives made a joint call like what I did, and that is to eliminate the 5013 status for care. And so this is taking root in the United States Capitol, in the White House, in the Texas Attorney General's office, as well as the Texas Governor's Office. And so we are bringing the full weight of government against these organizations that have provided material support to take.
Starting point is 00:08:49 terrorists. So tell me, I was just speaking in, here in Irving, um, at Texas, just a couple of days ago, uh, at a, uh, at an event called Save Texas. And it, and it was about the rising threat of Sharia law. And they're saying that we need a law against Sharia law in Texas. Um, can you give us any update on the Sharia courts or anything you've been looking into? Yeah, well, let me, let me, uh, just answer straightforward. what's going on with Sharia law, where we are and where we're going. First, obviously, we've done more than any state to fight back against Sharia law and Sharia compounds, like in what we did in shutting down the Epic Center up there.
Starting point is 00:09:32 But here's the deal. In addition to the action that we've taken by our state agencies, as well as legal action to stopping that Sharia compound, Texas already has laws that ban Sharia law, especially one explicit in our family code. But get this, because this is going to be exciting for you to watch unfold and talk about here in the coming weeks. And that is, in Texas, we have Republican primaries coming up on March the 3rd. And in addition to voting on candidates, there is a ballot proposition in the Republican primary that Republican voters can vote on,
Starting point is 00:10:11 and that is a vote to have a complete ban on Sharia law in the state of Texas. Let me say something. That's going to pass overwhelmingly, and that will energize when we're going to this next session and will lead to a new law with a total ban on Sharia law in the state of Texas, and then it will impose a duty on the Attorney General to fully enforce that ban on Sharia law. So Texas already does have the strongest pushback against Sharia law of any state in the country, but we're going to take it the full load and do everything possible. to make Sharia law has no presence in Texas whatsoever. Only had a minute left. Any comment on what's happening with ICE in Minnesota? Listen, this is crazy because you and I and most people have learned that you don't interfere with law enforcement. ICE is a law enforcement agency.
Starting point is 00:11:09 ICE is carrying out a law enforcement function when they're trying to arrest people who are here illegally and everything else that they're doing. And when people get involved and interfere with and impede the ability of law enforcement to do their job, they're putting themselves in danger themselves. But then when they use a deadly weapon such as a vehicle that could have stricken one of those ice agents, and something else I'll tell you that not many people have picked up on, and that is, in addition to the guy in front of the car who shot, the arm of another ice agent was inside the car. Glenn, there are a lot of stories about peace officers being run over or dragged by vehicles. And there were different ways in which all these law enforcement officers could have been harmed. And they are fully entitled by law to use deadly force to stop one of their agents from being harmed by someone who is violating the law. This is a pure violation of law, top side and bottom, by the driver of that car. Do you think there's any way Tim Walts didn't know that all of this was going on?
Starting point is 00:12:15 I mean the corruption. You as governor. Wouldn't you know that size corruption was going on in your state? Listen, I think Tim Moth knew exactly what was going on. I think he was a co-participant and ate it and embedded it. And I don't think, as you point out, I don't think it is possible for you to see that level of corruption going on in a state like that. and also with him having the ties that he had to the Somalian community for him not to have known about it. I think this is all going to be fully exposed.
Starting point is 00:12:51 I hope so. Governor, thank you very much. I appreciate your time. I know you're busy man. Governor Greg Abbott from the great state of Texas. We're coming back with Chipproy, who wants to be the Attorney General in Texas. And I know he is strong on Sharia law. He has just started something in Congress that I think is important as him.
Starting point is 00:13:11 and I think seven other people. I don't know why there's not 100 or, you know, maybe a couple hundred people in Congress that aren't part of this, but we'll talk to him about it. First, let me tell you about PatriotMobil. In case you haven't noticed life is really busy. Most of us, you know, don't think twice about our cell phone service. It's just there.
Starting point is 00:13:27 It works. The bill gets paid and we move on. But the money doesn't just vanish. It goes somewhere. And with most wireless companies, its funding causes in activism, their customers never agreed to support. Patriot Mobile exists because that shouldn't be the default.
Starting point is 00:13:41 They provide the reliable nationwide cell service on the same major networks that you're, you know, you're already using. And it's a very different set of priorities. In fact, they were the sponsors of this session. I mean, Gert Wilders brought in from what the Netherlands to speak about Sharia law. I was there. And that's what they spend some of their proceeds on. You know, they ship it over to their other arm Patriot mobile action. And they're actually finding things that you believe in.
Starting point is 00:14:11 not fighting, you know, for things that you are standing against all the time, like other mobile phone companies. It's Patriotmobile.com slashback, the only Christian conservative wireless provider in existence. 972 Patriot, 972 Patriot, 972 Patriot.com slashback. Make sure you use the promo code back. Get a free month of service. 972 Patriot. Patriot mobile.com slashback. 10 seconds. Station ID. Well, let me start with Chip Roy, the same place I left off with the governor here just a second ago. the Minnesota ice shooting. Any comments on that, Chip? Yeah, Glenn. I mean, look, I went to the House floor last night talking about the extent to which our colleagues on the other side of the aisle Democrats, particularly looking at Governor Walls, I rattled off the list of like almost 50 statements by Marxist Democrats just attacking ice.
Starting point is 00:15:11 And they ignore all the stories that I read on the floor about ice agents who have been, you know, strangled or who have had been beaten with things or dragged cars while they're going out trying to stop these dangerous individuals from being on the streets. And then I rattled off all the list of the dangerous criminals that have been rounded up. And by the way, it's infamous now that the Minnesotans that they found, these guys that committed strong arms sodomy of a child, multiple murders, violent criminals. But I went through the entire country, the dozens, the hundreds of people that they've been rounding up who are dangerous people on our streets. and yet all the focuses on attacking ice.
Starting point is 00:15:51 And there are all these middle-aged leftists in Minnesota that are attacking ice rather than standing up a defending law enforcement. Now, look, you and I are both civil libertarians. We obviously want to make sure that law enforcement is always checked and reviewed. And we have after-action reviews. Of course we want that to make sure that everything's followed. The rules are followed. And they should continue to do that here.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Or all the procedures followed. Did the officer stand in the right place? All those things. But when you're a crazy wild-eyed leftist who are attacking ice agents while they're trying to take criminals off the streets, that's not free speech, right? You're putting yourself in the middle of the operation of the law enforcement who are entrusted to keep us safe and secure. So, fine, review procedures and make sure they're the best they can be, avoid conflicts. But when you've got leftists seeking conflict and they're doing it in a way that makes us less safe and secure, they don't care about Lake and Riley. They don't care about Kayla Hamilton.
Starting point is 00:16:49 They don't care about Jocelyn Nungre. They don't care about Rachel Morin. They don't care about Officer Mendoza, who is killed in Arizona by a drunk driver. I can keep going down the list, Glenn. These are Americans dead at the hands of illegals. They were put on the streets by these radical Marxists. And, you know, they know it. That's the problem.
Starting point is 00:17:10 You know, they're also really quite delusional. I mean, these are people who think that they are standing up against the Nazis, like they would have done against, you know, the Nazis rounding up Jews, except these people would never stand up for Jews if they were being rounded up. I mean, it is, it's an incredible, incredible thing. And it's not just that they are believing this about ICE or missing what ICE is actually doing. They are being used. They're such useful idiots.
Starting point is 00:17:40 They're being used by the people in power in Minnesota to make sure nobody's talking about the rampant corruption in Minnesota and wait until we get to California. Yeah, 100%. And I think this is the story. And some of us, you remember, I think, you know, came on your show back in September after Charlie was tragically shot, talking about my belief that we need to have a special select committee or certainly a supercharged judiciary committee and oversight committee to go follow the money, to go follow how those dollars are flowing. You and I talked about that organization. But the fact is that's all driving all of this agenda.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Meanwhile, and what I alluded to at the time was the extent to which it's obvious the taxpayer funds going through NGOs or directly to people and through these fraudulent programs is funding a lot of this garbage. And look, for those of us who are fiscal conservatives for the good of the country, i.e. making sure that we're not massively in debt, which causes inflation. which creates problems with the interest rates, which makes houses unaffordable, which makes it difficult to afford health care, all the things, right? That's a fiscal question. And I've been pretty obvious out there. You have to. We've been calling for fiscal responsibility.
Starting point is 00:18:57 But the other side of the coin is that you're funding fraud. You're funding tyranny. I know. You're funding all of this stuff. And people say, well, you know, and by the way, with all due respect to some of my conservative friends and people out there saying, look, we just got rid of the fraud. everything would be fine. Well, okay, maybe you'll save money,
Starting point is 00:19:19 but you're funding, you're dumping literally trillions of dollars out into the world. What do you think is going to happen? Exactly right. Exactly right. This is why I voted against the appropriations bill last week. We're funding the sanctuary cities that we're complaining about. This is why I will vote probably today
Starting point is 00:19:37 against the bill that funds state and foreign operations because I know we're funding ridiculous programs, abroad. Now, because of the work that we've done, conservative, since the speakers fight three years ago, it's much better. It's much less because of the president, because of Russ vote, because what we're trying to do and using recisions, we're pushing it in the right direction. But it was so bad, the Titanic had 14 holes in it, was on fire and was five feet from the iceberg. That's how bad it was. And we're doing everything we can to put the fire out, plug the holes, and turn the ship. and only, and by the way, we're doing that when some of our own party are pulling the wheel in the other direction and lighting more fires.
Starting point is 00:20:18 I've only got two and a half minutes left, and I want to first, let me just say this. The Sharia Free America Caucus that you are a co-founder of, 22 members now in Congress. Every Republican should be a member of this. How can you not be a member of the Sharia Free Caucus? I mean, it's just, I mean, that's just, that dumbfounds me. that should be the first thing you're looking for in a candidate when you're are you are you a member of the sharia free caucus oh you're not out but anyway well i was i was proud to co-found that with keith self a local dallas fort worth congressman who's one of the best we have a great man and a great friend a veteran great guy keith and i co-founded it we're going to keep working with groups i think we're going to try to hold a big event on this topic i've been visiting with leaders in the dallas fort worth metroplex on this topic uh governor abbott is obviously leaning into this I'm going to lean into this hard in Congress, in addition to what I've done and trying to take the tax status away from fare and vetting people for Sharia, founding this caucus, working to elevate and highlight these issues.
Starting point is 00:21:19 I'm also going to be, as Attorney General, I'm going to be focusing on this. And by the way, you have lots of powers, the AG, to go after the NGOs and to look at these nonprofits and expose all that they are doing. And that is a huge element to all of this in addition to enforcing our laws. Chip Roy, running for Attorney General, the great state of Texas. One last thing, we're expecting possibly a word from the Supreme Court here in just a few minutes about the tariffs. What the hell happens if the Supreme Court says these tariffs are no good? Well, look, here's what my belief is, and we'll see. I don't know whether they'll give their opinion on that today.
Starting point is 00:21:56 We're waiting on a number of different opinions, Voting Rights Act and others that are really important, by the way. I think they're going to probably split the baby on this, right? I think they're going to find that the president has power in certain areas and not in others. So I think we're going to have to peel it back to kind of understand exactly what they say and don't say. And then Congress is going to have to debate this if the court is saying the president can only do a certain amount and not others and decide what we want to do. Look, from my vantage point, what I'm for, I'm actually, I think some of these tariffs are great, but only in the context of, or importantly in the context of peeling back other taxes, right? So keep downward pressure on the confiscatory income taxes
Starting point is 00:22:40 and confiscatory taxes here in the country and balance that with what is effectively a national sales tax on foreign goods, right? But you've got to balance all of that and then work with the president to do it. We'll see what the court does. But we've got to reduce the overall burden on Americans get economic growth going.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Website where people can help you win. Chiproy.com and on Twitter slash X, it's Chiproy, TX, H-I-P-R-O-Y-T-X. Glenn, thank you. God bless you. Thank you very much. Chip Roy, from the great state of Texas candidate for a Texas attorney general and congressman from Texas. You know, most of us are pretty good at, you know, backups in some areas of our life. We keep a flashlight in a drawer.
Starting point is 00:23:27 We have extra batteries in a bin, maybe even a jumper cable in the trunk. Not because we expect disaster, but because, you know, we've learned how annoying it can be. You know, if something simple, you just didn't take care of it in advance. Heat is strangely different. We treat it like it's permanent, like it can't fail, like it doesn't deserve a plan B. The Vesta heater from My Patriot Supply is basically a backup for comfort. It is a compact, indoor safe heater and a stove that runs without electricity, which means it works whether the power is on or, you know, not on. And you don't turn your house into a fire hazard at all.
Starting point is 00:24:05 It's not a science experiment. You can use it to warm a room or heat water, even cook a meal. The best part is right now you can get the Vesta and a bunch more other preparedness gear as free gifts when you just order the winter survival kit from My Patriot Supply. It's available right now at Mypatriotsupply.com slash Glenn. See everything that is included. The offer is not going to last long, so go to Mypatriotsupply.com slash Glenn. Mypatriotsupply.com slash Glenn.
Starting point is 00:24:32 What would today's founders? They're not today, they're yesterday, they're at the beginning. What would the founders say about the rise of Islam in the West? That's today's George AIA podcast after the show, glenbeck.com. I want to put a photo up in case you happen to be watching it, glenbeck.com. It's a photo of somebody putting a flag on top of the statue of Khomeini over the weekend. And if you look at this photo, you will see that, I mean, that is, that's iconic. Really look at that.
Starting point is 00:25:37 If the media were doing their job, that would be on the cover of Time Magazine. That would be on, that would be everywhere. That's an iconic photo. And it is somebody standing on top of the statue of the Ayatollah Khomeini, raising up the old, original Iranian flag with the, with the lion in the center. Okay. That would be leading every newscast. It'd be looping on cable news, debated, dissected, argued over all of this stuff. Instead, all we get is nothing but silence on that.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Most likely, you haven't seen that picture before. It was up on X and then it just went away. The reason why this photo is so important is because the man is standing on the regime itself. This is entirely different. Jason was telling me he put it. in without any information he put in, you know, if you had a regime like this into George A.I. If you had a regime like this, what should you do? Should you, should a country get involved or not? Yada yada yada. And George, you know, doesn't know anything past I think 1820. So it talked about the French
Starting point is 00:26:47 revolution. And it's, you know, you got to be careful of people on the ground because you never know what their real intent is. You don't want to get involved in things. But I think you know what the real intent is with people that are in Iran right now standing up. They're very, very, very clear. This is not graffiti. It's not vandalism. It's not a protest about gas prices or high prices. It is a civilizational divorce. And the rest of the world is pretending not to see it because it doesn't fit their narrative. You know, if this were Black Lives Matter, a riot over someplace else, I'm sorry, not a riot, mostly peaceful protest. They were burning London.
Starting point is 00:27:31 They were burning any city, anywhere in the world. The press would be breathless. Look at the bravery of these people. Yet these people are actually risking their life in a country where they're going to be killed. If the regime does not fall, all of these people are going to be scooped up and killed. If this was a pro-Gaza mob shutting down airports, screaming at Jewish students, or climbing a statue of George, Washington, they would be the voice of the oppressed. But here we're dealing with something far more dangerous.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Here we have people rejecting an entire ideological project of the modern left. That's why they don't want to talk about this. That's why this movement terrifies them. Because what you're witnessing happening every day in Iran is not just a mere uprising. This is not just a revolt against a dictator. This is a rejection of political Islam. itself, a rejection of clerical rule itself, a rejection of an Islamic government, a rejection of the idea that faith should be enforced at the gunpoint of the state.
Starting point is 00:28:41 And most importantly, it is a rejection of the strange, makes no sense, red-green alliance. Okay, the red-green alliance is this holy marriage between, you know, radical leftists, the red, and the Islamist movement, the green. They don't match at all, for instance. Rick Rinell was on X yesterday and he tweeted something. He goes in and he rescues and helps people escape if you're gay or lesbian or whatever and you're in Iran. You've got to get out of there. And so he has for a long time helped people get out of Iran and escape because they're going to be thrown off a building and they're going to be
Starting point is 00:29:17 butchered in the public square because of their sexual preference. It's an abomination. You don't hear anybody on the left talking about that. You don't hear anybody talk about Rick Riddell. what a great guy is saving the lives of people. But anyway, I digress. The point is, on X, he said, for the first time ever, I've gotten a lot of people out of Iran, for the first time ever, he was told by somebody of the LGBTQ alliance, wait, wait, wait,
Starting point is 00:29:45 I want to wait here a bit longer. Wait, I can get you out now. I want to wait a bit longer. First time that's ever happened. he said there's real hope happening from within side the country, not outside, it's happening within. And he said, I don't think you can stop the collapse of this regime at this point. From his mouth to God's ears. Because that starts to dismantle a lot.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Remember, this starts to dismantle the chalkboard I put up at Fox in 2009. Islamists, communist, socialist will all work together to destabilize the Middle East. East, Europe, and then eventually the United States. They're doing all of that. But this is the first time I'm seeing it maybe beginning to fall. The Iranian people last time they were chanting for Marx because it was the Marxist that helped them get the cleric Ayatollah Khomeini back into power. By the way, just a quick side note, I'm sure it doesn't mean anything to Marxists now.
Starting point is 00:30:52 But you know what happened to all those Marxists? The clerics killed all of those Marxists. Okay, you're a useful idiot, you dope. Like they're going to tolerate you. All right. They're not tolerated. They're not chanting for Marx. They're not chanting for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Starting point is 00:31:10 They're chanting for Iran, a free Iran. There was a post by a woman in Iran that was on X. And she said, don't misunderstand what you're seeing. This is not reform. This is rejection. We're not asking for a better Islam. We're rejecting Islamic rule altogether. That's key.
Starting point is 00:31:35 And that's why you don't see the left helping on this at all. How can you stand with your hands in your pockets? LGBTQ community. How can you stand with your hands in your pockets when you know gays and lesbians are killed? They are slaughtered in the streets because they have a different sense. sexual preference. You stand with your hands in your pockets? You're actually shouting down the president of the United States. They're going to name a street after Donald Trump. I guarantee it. They'll name a street after Donald Trump. Because all of the leftists that we've had in power since
Starting point is 00:32:13 Jimmy Carter, they keep their hands in their pockets and their mouth shut and they don't do anything. And people have lived, women have lived under this oppression. And enough is enough. They're saying, this system belongs to us, not you. They're saying Islam. as a governing ideology is incompatible with their history, their culture, their future, because they want to be part of the Western world. They're the only group of people that are actually doing it. It's amazing. But I'll tell you, it's blasphemy to the Western left because if the Iranian people,
Starting point is 00:32:53 actual brown people, actual Muslims, actual victims of imperial theocracy, are rejecting Islamic rule, then the entire narrative on the left collapses. If Islam isn't liberation, then what exactly have the pro-Hamas protesters been cheering for? Do you know when that collapses? Do you know how many stories? Oh, I'm personally going to go over and get?
Starting point is 00:33:19 Do you know the stories that we're going to hear from people about what that's like? This is going to destroy this movement. And here's what is interesting. I told you this on Monday. One of the other things that was happening over the weekend was Democrats, people who until recently bent over backwards to excuse or sanitize pro-Hamas demonstrations saying, no, that's not what they mean when they say river to the sea?
Starting point is 00:33:47 What exactly do they mean then? They condemned Hamas publicly, strongly on X. Jerry Nadler did it. AOC did it. Suddenly the protesters that are condemning and heckling Jews, suddenly they're drawing lines. No, that's not. No, uh-uh. What?
Starting point is 00:34:10 What is that all about? The alliance is cracking. This should give you real hope as we are fighting Sharia law here. As we are, make no mistake, what do you think is really going on in Minnesota in that Somali community? You think there's no Sharia courts? in that Muslim community in Minneapolis. Oh, you bet there is. You bet there is. There's no go zones.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Everything that's coming out of Iran exposes the lie. And I will bet you that we will find that there is lots of leftist money going in to help stabilize the regime. I will bet you. The Iranian people are ripping a
Starting point is 00:34:58 mask off of this lie and they're saying we know exactly what an Islamic government looks like. We've lived under it for 45 years. We want no part of it. Do you imagine what a free Persian people is going to do, what they're going to do for Europe? When they start telling their stories, uh, guys, I don't care what you say. You have no idea. We just lived under it for 45 years. There's a poison in your civilization and you've got to chase it out. It's pretty amazing. And how can you claim all these people who are claiming that they are standing for it?
Starting point is 00:35:38 And they're standing for, they're standing up for the people. Are they, because with ICE, they're telling people that I shouldn't go in and get people who forcibly raped children, who murdered people. How are you standing up for our society? You don't want that picked up off the streets? What? You're standing up for Hamas, which did the same thing. You're standing up for Hezbollah, which does that. the same thing. You're not standing up for the Persian people who are just saying as women,
Starting point is 00:36:16 I don't want to wear the burqa anymore. I want to be free. I want to choose my own way. You're not standing up for gays who are being slaughtered in Iran. I, boy, I don't know how you even, well, you don't. I was going to say, I don't even know how you make that case, but you don't. You don't. That's why they stopped making it over the weekend with AOC. They started backing up from it because it's going to topple. The regime is going to topple and so is the red green alliance. It's going to topple. It's going to. It has to. Because it's all a lie. All of it. This movement tells us identity politics is a lie. Culture actually matters. History actually matters. Faith cannot be coerced. And it also says, the West's not
Starting point is 00:37:10 wrong about a lot of things. And that's dangerous and that's why the media is looking away, but we shouldn't. That man on that statue, he's doing what many of us don't have the courage to do. Thank God many of us don't have to do it yet. But think of the courage it took for him to go up there and do that. He's standing on tyranny. He's reclaiming their Persian identity. He is choosing nation over ideology. He's waving a flag that says we existed before you and we're going to exist long
Starting point is 00:37:45 after you are in the dustbin of history. And that should haunt every tyrant. History is moving and we are lucky enough to be alive to observe it and hopefully help shape it.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Memories don't disappear all at once. They fade slowly, quietly. One, tape that won't play one box you haven't opened in years one we'll get to it someday that keeps getting pushed down the list and the problem is someday has a habit of never showing up one of my favorite lines from a movie i'm trying to remember what movie it is oh uh you pile up some music man you pile up uh enough tomorrow's and you'll end up with nothing but yes empty yesterday's love that we'll do it tomorrow anyway um legacy box will take your old photos and VHS types and camcorders and film reels and everything else.
Starting point is 00:38:45 And they'll transfer it digitally. So you don't have the stuff that plays that stuff even anymore. And they just are deteriorating. This isn't about reliving the past for the sake of it. It's about making sure the people and the moments that matter just don't silently disappear because life got busy. Legacy box turns, we really should do something with these two. I'm really glad we did. Kick off the new year by rescuing your family's most cherished memories that haven't been

Starting point is 00:39:35 Glenn Beck returns in a minute. One of the biggest frustrations people have with food isn't hunger. It's the predictability of it all, right? Like you eat something that you think is going to be good. and for an hour later, you're foggy or you're sluggish or you're reaching for something else just to get you through the afternoon. That cycle wears you down, a lot faster than people realize. Health code was built to break that pattern by focusing on how your body actually responds to what you eat, not how impressive the label looks. It's designed to provide steady
Starting point is 00:40:13 fuel so that you're not riding waves of energy and crashes all day long. This is developed by Dr. Ben Bickman. He's a metabolic scientist. He created health code a while ago after researching why so many people feel tired and unfocused despite making good choices. What kept showing up in the data over and over again was metabolic health, blood sugar stability, insulin response, and whether meals were helping the body stay balanced or if they were putting them in a constant state of recovery. Health code is a nutritionally complete meal shake built around those findings. It prioritizes protein, healthy fats, low carbs, no sugar. And, you know, this is really important stuff.
Starting point is 00:40:55 It helps support your metabolic health, your gut health, your brain health, all at the same time, without relying on artificial fillers or empty calories. For a lot of people, it becomes the most reliable meal of the day, and that consistency makes a big difference. And you can save on this right now by going to shakesavings.com. Shakesavings.com.

Starting point is 00:41:34 which couldn't happen to nicer people. The Supreme Court yesterday heard arguments about, you know, whether girls can play in boys' sports, et cetera, et cetera. And I couldn't be happier. Sam Alito asked the ACLU lawyer, you know, about, you know, women and men and their sports. And listen to this. Yes, Your Honor.
Starting point is 00:42:03 If it does that, then is it not necessary for there to be for equal protection purposes, if that is challenged under the Equal Protection Clause, an understanding of what it means to be a boy or a girl or a man or a woman? Yes, Your Honor. And what is that definition for equal protection purposes? What does it mean to be a boy or a girl or a man or a woman? Sorry, I just understood your question. I think that the underlying enactment, whatever it was, the policy, the law, we'd have to have an understanding of how the state or the government was just understanding
Starting point is 00:42:37 that term to figure out whether or not someone was excluded. We do not have a definition for the court. And we don't take issue with the, we're not disputing the definition here. What we're saying is that the way it applies in practice is to exclude birth sex males categorically from women's teams and that there's a subset of those birth sex males where it doesn't make sense to do so according to the state's own interest. Well, how can you, how can a court determine whether there's discrimination on the basis of sex without knowing what sex means for equal protection
Starting point is 00:43:08 purposes. I think here we just know, we basically know that the, that they've identified pursuant to their own statute, Lindsay qualifies as a birth sex male, and she's being excluded categorically from the women's teams as the statute. So we're taking the statute's definitions as we find them and we don't dispute them. We don't dispute them. We just say that anybody can change them at any time. I mean, Samuel Lito, I love you.
Starting point is 00:43:37 There might be a very important case coming out. We're going to go back to Kadangi Brown. I mean, this just doesn't get any better. She responds to this.

Starting point is 00:46:01 But also, I want to spend just a few minutes on this outrageous letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton that came out yesterday. It's enough to make your blood boil. The fact that these people just don't see, they just don't see the hypocrisy.
Starting point is 00:46:17 Maybe they do, they just don't care. I'll give you that coming up in just a second. Because, you know, we have to decide, can Hillary and Bill Clinton decide to not go testify under subpoena from Congress. Or do we do what we normally do and dismiss it? Or do we do what Joe Biden did?
Starting point is 00:46:40 And if you were a Republican, Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, you rejected going to answer a subpoena from Congress. You went to prison. Is that's what, should we do that? Which precedent do we want to follow here? they're going to make it all about Donald Trump. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Donald Trump didn't put anybody in jail for not answering a subpoena.
Starting point is 00:47:07 Your side did. I've got a lot to say about this coming up here in just a second. First, real estate agents I trust.com. When a market is hot, it's, you know, almost any real estate agent can look competent, at least at first. Homes move fast, mistakes get buried, and luck does a lot of the heavy lifting. You know, down markets are different. They punish bad advice. They reward agents who really know how to adjust.
Starting point is 00:47:28 That's why real estate agents I trust.com matters right now. Even in the middle of a down-housing market, the agents in my network have had their best year ever, and not for the first time. That's two years in a row. Why? That doesn't happen when the market is in this situation, unless you really have agents who know how to close deals and get people out of their one house and into the other house. Go to real estate agents.com. We'll show you how to sell or buy a house with the right agent,
Starting point is 00:48:00 even in a really tough market. The name says it all, real estate agents.I trust.com. This is my company. Free service to you, real estate agents I trust.com. Dear Chairman Comer, writes Bill and Hillary Clinton, we want to take a moment given everything to address you directly. This past year has seen our government engage in unprecedented acts, including against our own citizens. Well, they're not citizens. They're not citizens. If you're referring to rounding illegals up, they are not citizens. People have been seized by masked federal agents from their homes. Why are they masked? Because your side is trying to say, they're putting out posters with their names and address where they and their family live. So yeah, they are wearing masks now. Gee, I wonder why that is. They have been taken
Starting point is 00:48:50 from their homes, their workplaces, the streets of their communities. Again, if they're here illegally, it's not their community. Students and scientists with visas permitting them to study and work here have been deported without due process. Are you talking about the ones that were starting all of the riots and all of the anti-Jewish stuff on campuses? You mean those guys? The people who laid siege to the Capitol have been pardoned and called heroes. No, I'm called anybody a hero on that, but yeah, have you been following what has been happening there? Agencies vital to the country's national security have been dismantled. You mean USAID? Because USAID was a money laundry. Have you seen what's happening in Minnesota, President Clinton? Universities, media companies,
Starting point is 00:49:39 and law firms have been subjected to threats to their funding, access, and licensing unless they made concessions and surrendered their right to constitutionally protected free speech. Oh, you mean like, If I didn't go with global warming, you were going to shut me down. If I didn't go along with me too, you would shut me down. Oh, you mean like when the World Economic Forum said, you have to follow these things and you have to be in bed with the government exactly what the government believes, or we'll shut you down. Oh, okay, you mean like that.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Okay, I think I understand his points here. He's not doing a really good job making his point, but he's making mine really well. American troops have been deployed on the streets of our towns and cities. Justice Department has been used as a weapon at the discretion of the president. Now, is he, oh, he's getting old, isn't he? Does he know he's talking about the last president? Or I don't know. I don't want to call him senile.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Maybe this is just maybe, maybe let's just walk past that one. Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country and its principles and its people. No matter the consequences. And for us, for us, now is the time. Really? Now, now, after all of the things you've seen, now when you're asked to testify in front of Congress under subpoena about Epstein, that's the straw that broke the camel's back?
Starting point is 00:51:05 Really? Out of all of those things that have nothing to do with you, but you care about the American system and the American people. You care so much. But the thing that really got me off the couch was when you started coming after me. Oh my gosh, such a philanthropist. You guys should start a found date. For us now is at time, we are lucky by virtue of the positions we held and by protections
Starting point is 00:51:30 afforded by them. But we are not blind. Every day we see a country that we have dedicated our lives to improving, taking step-defer, step backwards. Well, yeah, if it means backing up from what you guys have been trying to do since you were at Yale with Saul Olensky, yeah, we're going backwards from that. You're right. chairman of this powerful congressional committee, you have an immense power to target anyone and subject them to closed door interrogation and more the decisions you have made and the priorities you have
Starting point is 00:52:00 said as chairman regarding the Epstein case. Hang on. Let me go to page two. Your work to learn why and prevent this from happening ever again. There is no evidence that you are doing so. Instead, you've forced the victims to relieve their painful experiences. So now Bill Clinton is for the victims and saying any testimony from me might make it like they'll have to revisit their pain. Again, I don't think that works in your favor if that's what you're saying. You accepted at least from those who know the most but demand the most from those who know the least to say that you're, that you can't complete your work without speaking to us is simply bizarre. Okay.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Is there anybody that was closer to Epstein than Bill and Hillary Clinton? I mean, maybe not Hillary, but Bill. I mean, he was there all the time. In the stairway of the Epstein mansion was that weird-ass picture of Bill Clinton in the dress with his legs draped over wearing heels. You know that? Okay. Yeah, that famous blue dress. That's what was in the Epstein stairwell when you walked into the house.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Or so I'm told I've seen pictures. Bill would know because he had been there over and over again. You don't have anything? Nothing you can say? No, this is just a travesty of justice. That's what this is. Okay. Well, I honestly don't think anything is going to come up.
Starting point is 00:53:44 this. I honestly don't think they're going to find anything. This guy is so slippery. He and his wife have been so slippery forever. They're not going to do anything. But I find it interesting that he is now saying this is injustice when Steve Bannon went to prison for exactly what he's saying Comer might do to him. Peter Navarro. They went, he, both of those guys went to prison because they wouldn't answer a subpoena from Congress. And somehow or another well, they're above it all. They don't have to. You know, who are you to say what we have to do?
Starting point is 00:54:24 Don't you know we're raising money for Sibalia? Don't you know, don't you know that we're still off the, we're still off the coast in Haiti right now, rebuilding those palaces, rebuilding for those poor people that just can't afford it? Yeah, sure you are. Sure you are. Ask the people of Haiti where their money is from the Clintons.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Okay. We're on to you. We get it. but they wear the t-shirt, you know, too big to jail. Just exactly like the banks. Too big to fail, they're too big to jail. So they're not going to jail. But I have to tell you, I am, I really,
Starting point is 00:55:03 I had a hard time. You know, it's really hard. You know, you don't get to suddenly sound like James Madison after you spent four straight years trying to put Donald Trump in prison by any means necessary. You know, you just don't get to do that. But that's exactly what happened. From 2016 on the left, and yes, Democrats at the highest level, including Hillary Clinton, pursued everything. I mean, it was Hillary Clinton that started the whole Russia Gate thing.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Russia, Russia, Russia. He's a spy with Russia. All of that stuff has been proven to be absolute lies. Absolutely. Never been held accountable for it. But they did everything. Russian collusion, manufactured intelligence, leaked FISA war, media operation masquerading as journalism, all of that stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Now we know that all of this stuff based on lies. So when I hear warnings about the Justice Department being used as a cudgel, I kind of like, really? I mean, when I hear lectures about intimidation and subpoena and punishments of enemies, you know, I don't dismiss them, but I also don't forget who the people were that normalized it. you know. So you want to talk about Epstein? Let's talk.
Starting point is 00:56:22 I mean, you know, because this is where the truth matters more than loyalty. Epstein was a monster. And anyone, anyone who enabled him, protected him, ignored him, benefited from him, deserves to be questioned. It doesn't mean they all go to jail. It didn't mean they all did something. But you should be questioned. All of them, not selectively, not politically, not theatrically. I don't mind if President Trump has asked about him.
Starting point is 00:56:45 I think everybody should be asked about him. If you were with him, I mean, hello, what did you know? When did you know it? Facts first. Consequences second. But here's where the Clintons are right about one thing. If Congress is serious, then anyone who had meaningful contact should be scrutinized, not just the convenient names or the Clintons, you know.
Starting point is 00:57:06 But Clinton's, man, he was doing God's work up there. I was just giving massages myself. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. So Bill Clinton spent time with Epstein. So did many, many other people, multiples. If I could say that, I kind of feel dirty saying that in this context. But, you know, the standards can't be, if we're looking for justice, it can't be our enemies only. But we can't say, we're not going to look at our enemies either. Because once justice becomes a factional weapon, which it is, it is right now. It's no longer justice. I don't think it's being used that way on our side. Maybe a little bit, maybe a little bit. But not like they were using it under Bill Clinton. I mean, my gosh, look at what the IRS was doing to people.
Starting point is 00:57:52 You know, it's really weird. The Democrats, they hired 87,000 IRS agents to go after you because you're not paying your fair share. 87,000 IRS agents they hired. But they, gosh, those guys just could not find any fraud with the Somali community in Minneapolis. Isn't that weird? they'll go after you. See, this is where it's weaponized. This is where everybody knows it's weaponized.
Starting point is 00:58:21 If you are in a high position, it doesn't matter left or right. You're not going to go to jail. You're just not going to go to jail. And that's what people are sick of. Okay. You know, maybe maybe it's just to me, I don't think so. I don't think so. You know, I just think that, you know, we have to go for justice.
Starting point is 00:58:43 And if you're asking me where the strongest unanswered questions are, you questions that, you know, around the Clinton's lies. I, he's. Epstein, you're going to prove anything? The Clinton Foundation, Chuching, that one is a story. That's a story that's been about money and access and influence for a very long time. And it keeps running into the same wall over and over again.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Oh, wow, it's a big bank. Can't go there. Oh, it's global finance. Can't go there. It's an NGO. I can't go there. We keep banging our heads. against the wall on that one.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Gee, I wonder what I wonder who's involved in that one. That's not a conspiracy. That's how power hides in America. And notice something important. The story that never seems to move forward, regardless of who's in charge. Okay. Never, never. Why?
Starting point is 00:59:35 Because it, it, it doesn't just threaten politicians. It threatens the entire system. Both Epstein and the Clinton Foundation. Okay. So here's my position on this whole letter from, Bill and Hillary, which I've enjoyed immensely. Thank you. And let me be crystal clear. I don't want selective prosecution. I don't. I don't want political vengeance. I don't. Our society won't last. Okay. I want America to last. I don't want show trials. I don't want immunity for friends
Starting point is 01:00:07 or punishment for enemies. I don't want any of that. I want equal justice under the law. you know, the kind written in the Constitution and almost never practiced by anybody in power lately, you know, if the facts clear somebody, they should be cleared loudly and publicly. If the facts implicate somebody, then they should be held accountable. They should go and have a fair trial, you know, with real judges and real juries, regardless of how much money they've, sorry, I have a hard time saying it was straight, no matter how much money they've raised for Haiti to help those poor Haitians, because we just can't raise enough money. And yet nothing seems to change Bill and Hillary. Isn't that weird? The moment we abandon the principles of equal justice, we're no longer a republic that is worth arguing for.
Starting point is 01:00:55 You know, we're factions fighting over who controls the machinery of punishment. And that's, that's bad because history tells us exactly where that leads. Not left, right, not right, not right. Down, straight down, straight down. And the American people deserve better than that. but we're only going to get it once we demand it. Back in just a second, let me tell you about American financing. NMLS-182334, NMLS Consumer Access.org. APR for Rates in the Five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers. Call 800906 2440 for details about credit costs and terms.
Starting point is 01:01:28 Okay. No tariff's decision today. We're going to get into that here in just a second. A lot of financial stress doesn't come from one bad decision. It comes from a bunch of old decisions that no longer fit your life. You know, interest rates that made sense years ago, payments had felt manageable at the time. And then the debt just kept piling up and stacking up in the background. And because none of that happened all at once, most people just live with it and they adjust and they juggle. And then they're sitting there and like, I don't know how to make this work.
Starting point is 01:01:53 That's where American financing comes in. That's why they exist to interrupt that cycle. They'll help you step back, look at the full picture and see where your mortgage and your debt structure are actually serving you and where it's working against you. For some people, that just means home equity to pay off some high interest debt. For others, it means lowering your monthly or restructuring things in a way that you'll, you know, will finally create, you know, some breathing room. This isn't about a quick fix or a sales pitch.

Starting point is 01:02:57 So, Ricky is here. She's a chief content officer and filling in for Stu Bergear that was off this week. He was in jail. He was a little upset. He was in Philadelphia, a little upset after the game on Sunday. He says he's not in this week because he couldn't take the needling of, but we know that's not true. Who on this program would needle him about the Eagles loss? He's getting better treatment than the detainees in Iran. Yes, he is. Yes, he is. By the way, what is the latest on the court, Supreme Court?
Starting point is 01:03:32 Supreme Court. So they released their third and final decision today. The first two were boring. I didn't think your audience needed to hear about it. But the third one is interesting. It's about election integrity. There was a Republican candidate who sued Illinois. Illinois because they allowed ballots to come in after election day and he thought it was not fair.
Starting point is 01:03:54 And so he sued. Shocking. Why would that not be fair? Oh, look what we found. You know, I left these in my coat a week ago. I am so very sorry. Yeah. So he thinks that his votes weren't properly counted.
Starting point is 01:04:07 He probably is right. So he sued. And the lower courts were like, eh, we're not going to listen to your case. And they just kept throwing it out. So this went all the way up to the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court said, no, this procedurally should be heard by the lower courts. And they're demanding the lower, it will take years probably for it to get decided. And it's the state of Illinois.
Starting point is 01:04:28 They're never going to have election integrity. So. Well, you're a ray of sunshine. Good morning. Thank you. It's making me feel so much better. And the other two were just nothing? They're boring.
Starting point is 01:04:40 Okay. So the, I'll have to hear what they are. It's not the terrorist decision. Okay. The tariff's decision is the one that's really going to change things. Yes. The tariff, well, could. You know, I talked to Donald Trump, I don't know, a couple of months ago when it was first being heard.
Starting point is 01:04:57 It was the week that they were being heard. And I call them up and I'm like, so Mr. President, what's the plan in case this doesn't work? And at the time, he wasn't nervous. And he said, you know, well, there's other ways to skin a cat. You know, don't worry about it. Now, this week, some people have been reporting that he's like, this is going to really hurt. And I think it is going to hurt. I can't imagine, although it makes me nervous, they've been talking about releasing this all week.
Starting point is 01:05:31 If they don't release this until Friday, that I think is a bad sign. Why? Because the markets will only have one day to react instead of three. Do you think Clarence Thomas is taking the markets into consideration? Not in their verdict. Not in their decision, but in the release date, they should. You don't want to do that in the middle of the week where this could throw, because, I mean, we don't know what that means. Throw it out on a Friday, get the markets closed, then figure out what you're going to do.
Starting point is 01:06:04 I mean, if the Supreme Court overturns the president's right to create these tariffs, what does that? mean? Do we have to pay that tariff money back? What happens to all of the deals that he has made on trade and everything else? I mean, this could be devastating, just devastating. But we'll see. Hopefully we'll see tomorrow and not on Friday what the Supreme Court decided. You know, most people don't avoid home security because they don't care. They avoid it because it feels like a project. There are, you know, all the wires and the installers and the crazy contracts and all that stuff. It's a lot of commitment, you know, for something you hope you never need.
Starting point is 01:06:46 And so that's maybe why you don't have home security. I don't know what your reason is, maybe because it's too expensive. Well, simply say if it's designed for people who want real security without turning their house into a construction zone, they want to be able to own it themselves. I mean, maybe you live in an apartment and you're going to move. You want to take it with you. I mean, this is really easy.

Find up five episodes available now only at glenbeck.com. You know, the guy who really started us all, I mean, we have been hearing about the fraud in Minnesota for a long time. And local people have exposed it.
Starting point is 01:08:21 others have exposed to it, but Nick Shirley actually got out and made it personal, made it something that you could experience and see by going to these, you know, leering centers where there were no children leering in them. And then the fraud was exposed. Well, that made big, big news when that first came out. There is part two coming out probably maybe about 90 minutes. Nick's working on the final edits of it. Now he's here to tell us about what's coming. Hi, Nick. How's it going, everybody?
Starting point is 01:08:57 Very good. Very good. I need to get some of your Learing Center merch. Oh, yeah. It's great. Yes, you do. So tell me what you're exposing or what this next part two is really all about. Yeah, so essentially in Minnesota, across the country, they have these things called NEMTs.
Starting point is 01:09:17 But in Minnesota, they've abused it to the point where, Now it's kind of what upholds all the fraud of with the welfare programs as they use these transportation companies to create some sort of paper trail to make it look like they're providing all these services to these people. That way they're able to continue frotting out the welfare programs, whether it be the daycares, the adult daycares, the healthcare clinics, they're able to then use these transportation companies to make it look like they're actually fulfilling these services, but they're actually not. So there are there are transportation services that are involved that are filling out fake
Starting point is 01:09:54 transportation stuff? Well, what they do is for instance like at an adult daycare. They also are embedded with the healthcare the healthcare company that's just a few blocks down the road. But because there's actually not a person or there's not a real service that needs to be provided, they need to make it look like something's happening. So therefore they get these transatlantic companies to then act like they're taking a person to the location and then they fill out a form saying that they provide this service and such. And then that way there's kind of the paper trail that they're actually fulfilling and doing these services.
Starting point is 01:10:35 You've been working with a guy who's with you on camera. I don't even know who he is, but I gather he is a local that is just like hyper-focused on fraud in Minnesota. Do I have that right? Yeah. That's right. That is, you know, I think that's the smartest thing, Nick. I have found that, you know, I said this a while back.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Who is the best person to teach, you know, the Battle of Gettysburg? I don't know. But there's got, he might be a cab driver in Detroit that has studied his whole life. And you can tell you where every bullet was retrieved on the field of Gettysburg. He's dedicated his whole life and he's a zealot on it. that's who you really get. When you want to move mountains, you get those people. And it's really smart of you.
Starting point is 01:11:23 How long has he been working on this, tracking it? For up to seven years now, where he's been looking into it. And then he's been getting all the research and information for a few years, I believe, because it's hard to get the exact numbers and everything. So he's done everything possible to get the numbers from the Capitol. And that's why we're able to prove.
Starting point is 01:11:44 And that's why nobody's been able to debunk anything inside the video because it's all true. There's a bunch of research and due diligence done beforehand. Nick, this is Ricky Glenn's favorite producer. I have a real title, but I like to go with that. One of the reasons why I love your work is because you show and not just tell the story. So in this video that's going to be releasing in the next 90 minutes, what are we going to see? Is it going to be more awkward confrontations? Are you probably going to get more death threats as a result of this? Yeah, you're going to see a bit of everything because we start going to these locations from the website at the state of Minnesota to where these transportation companies are and they're nowhere to be found. And then when we ask the Somalians, well, where are these companies at?
Starting point is 01:12:33 People start making all these crazy threads. They're coming after me saying that, saying all this sort of crazy stuff, I don't even want to say it on over air because it's just people just will have to watch it. but they're basically making like saying that if somebody were to get shot and killed, it'd be my fault because of what I've done. And I'm just telling them, I'm here to talk about fraud. Can you tell me where the transportation company is? And David makes a great point inside the video. And he says, once you piss off the fraudsters, they can't defend themselves so they deflect everything. And they make a race issue when it's not.
Starting point is 01:13:09 That's what I've been talking about this week with the governor and the main. and everybody else involved. These ICE protests, this is the most cynical thing I have ever seen, I think any politician ever do. They're threatening civil disorder and, I mean, Wals alluded to civil war. And it's all just to change the subject. So nobody's looking at them and saying, hey, when did you know all of this stuff was going on? It's really nasty. Yeah, it is very nasty.
Starting point is 01:13:48 And, I mean, for instance, Ilhan Omar, she hasn't said a word about the fraud, but she's out there telling people they need to go against ICE. And so they're just using this opportunity to try and deflect everything against the fraud to make you not think about it because they know they were caught red-handed. Tim Waltz, he dropped out of re-election because of it. I did a monologue earlier this week where I was, just making a list of all of the people that most likely had to have at least had an inkling, if not known.
Starting point is 01:14:23 And then they, I'm not saying they were a part of it, but they at least turned a blind eye. And the list is very long. I didn't even get to the Somali community. I just got to the people in state government and at the airport. I mean, there are hundreds of people that had to have known in the banking, TSA, and also in in state government. Yeah, I think people just got so used to happening to the point where they just felt like maybe if they did speak out against it, nothing would happen, or maybe it's not worth
Starting point is 01:14:56 losing my job. If I do speak out against the millions of dollars being funneled through the airport, I think a lot of people were scared because they'd be called an Islamophobic, white supremac, by their colleagues and lose their jobs. Nick, this is Ricky again. The last time we had you on, you said, said that you and the FBI were playing phone tag with each other. Did you hand over this, these new findings for the transportation fraud to the FBI? Or is anyone at the FBI or DOJ
Starting point is 01:15:29 reaching out to, to pursue an investigation into what you're finding? That's a good question. I know David, he did a briefing with Scott Bessett, the Secretary of Treasury, and he talked about it. And so I imagine that if they didn't take it serious, then they'll take it serious today. You know, you talk about Scott Peson, I'm glad to hear, I'm glad to hear that. I think one of the biggest culprits in this, because their fingerprints are always around stuff like this. Well, the banks, there's no way you take $700,000, I'm sorry, $700 million in cash,
Starting point is 01:16:04 cash that money, cash them into actual hard currency, and then put it on airplanes and send it to Somalia. The banks had to have known. Are you looking into that at all? Yeah, I actually spoke to a former TSA police officer. I think that's what you call it. And he told me all about it. And yeah, it's very real.
Starting point is 01:16:27 And all they have to do is get that money to a country like Dubai. And then they can then move that money over to wherever they want. I have a feeling when you're done in Minnesota, and you may never be done in Minnesota. But when you're done in Minnesota, you should stop by California. I can't imagine. Right? Yeah, it's bad there.
Starting point is 01:16:49 Are you getting tips from other states? Yeah, lots of people have reached out to me. And California is definitely like on the top of the list from everybody that I've spoken to just because just how bad it is there. And for instance, just like the price of gas is insane there. And then they're always complaining about taxes and all this and that. But a lot just the cost of living there is insane. Meanwhile, they're paying the most in taxes, and they don't feel like they're receiving anything from their taxes. Are you hearing massive fraud in California?
Starting point is 01:17:25 Oh, yeah. I think just like, for instance, just like that train they try to build, or from L.A. to Las Vegas or the homelessness, all the nonprofits. I mean, there's so much fraud that happens, though. I mean, I want to stand up for the train. You had to put two tracks. parallel with each other on a pretty flat surface for a few miles. And that hasn't been done since, well, the 1800s. I mean, we've been doing it since the 1800s,
Starting point is 01:17:54 but it's only a couple of hundred years old in technology. You wouldn't expect people in Silicon Valley or anybody in California understand that kind of new technology of laying rails. It's insane. Yeah, it's pretty unbelievable. I know. Nick, thanks so much. Thanks for everything you're doing.
Starting point is 01:18:11 I appreciate it. This is going to come out in about, what, 90 minutes? Yeah, hopefully in the next 90 minutes or so. And we'll find it at your YouTube channel? Yeah, YouTube and on X. Okay, good. Thank you very much. YouTube.com slash at Nick Shirley or on X, Nick Shirley.
Starting point is 01:18:28 I can't wait to see it. I can't imagine what is next. I mean, you know, you asked the question about death threats, and he kind of said it in a joking way. I, he needs to watch out for himself. I mean, these people are serious. You are dealing with billions of dollars. Billions of dollars.
Starting point is 01:18:48 People get killed for exposing things like this. I hope he is safe. All right. More in a minute. You know, we made communication far more complicated than it needs to be. There are all kinds of apps with passwords that you can't remember. Update settings.

One of the most frustrating parts of trying to lose weight is realizing how often the progress doesn't stick. You can do everything right for a few weeks and see the scale move and then watch it creep
Starting point is 01:20:42 right back up as if your habits haven't changed at all. And that cycle, honestly, leaves a lot of people feeling defeated. That's where metabolism quietly shapes the outcome. If your body isn't handling blood sugar well or, isn't efficient at using stored fat for energy. Weight loss becomes a consistent uphill push instead of something you can maintain. But we have lean. Lean was developed to support those underlying processes.
Starting point is 01:21:07 It's a non-prescription, doctor-developed supplement designed to help maintain healthy blood sugar, manage appetite and cravings, and of course encourage your body to burn the stored fat. Not that I have any. I have no, actually all my fat is gone now. But when the system is working the right way, weight loss is less about forcing results and more about allowing your body to do what it's capable of doing. Lean isn't an injection. It's not meant to replace your eating or your exercise. But it is designed to work alongside those efforts, especially for people who feel like they've already made a lot of changes and they're not getting the results that they want.

Jason's been doing the insider broadcast.
Starting point is 01:22:20 We've added about 50% more information when the network, radio network, goes into commercial. Jason takes over and he adds all of the things we meet for a couple of hours before every show. and he knows what I know and I know what he knows. And so when I don't get to everything, he cleans up and shares it with the insider. And he also is in charge of Glenn AI and George A.I. And what is today's George A.I. On Sharia law?
Starting point is 01:22:52 Jason? Do we have him? No? I can answer for you until he pops on. Have him come over into the studio if it's not working there. Yeah, it's about. Sharia law, what would the founders say? Not today's founders. Yeah. The actual original founders in the 1700s based on what we have in the data bank. They try to make, you know, we have tried
Starting point is 01:23:18 to make it so they don't give you a definitive answer because they're not the founder. You know, it's, it's a machine. It is AI. But it will present all of the sides. Did it, what did it say about Sharia law? It's funny because I had to make it a hypothetical again about what would happen, you know, if the country was moving towards Sharia courts, tribunal, stuff like that, what they would think about it. And it was kind of funny. He goes, well, you know, Jefferson actually had a copy of the Quran.
Starting point is 01:23:44 I was like, oh, wow. It's almost like I've heard that from you before. Yeah, yeah. So very interesting. He, you gave a pronoun to him. It. It's weird, isn't it? Yeah, it's very weird too because George A.I.
Starting point is 01:23:56 likes to be very philosophical and debate, which, again, is exactly how the defendant. They're trying to plant seeds. of thought and that's exactly how George A.I. This is not, George A.I. is not to try to get you to the answer directly from them because they, it's not them. But it is trying to ask the questions. And many of the questions are the questions that they asked themselves. Yeah. I mean, they debated, they debated Islam. I mean, they, they knew exactly what it was. There were several insiders who were asking if we were
Starting point is 01:24:31 imagining or writing the script for George A.I. These podcasts. No. And they're looking for the sources. And the sources are the original founding doc. Okay. Yeah. So we don't, we try really hard.
Starting point is 01:24:46 You know, like he said, I, I, do you just say I had to give it some information, a hypothetical? Because it, it doesn't have any information after 1820. And it is, I don't know, it's maybe based on 6,000 sources right now. in a year from now, this thing is going to be colossus. It will have so much of their writings and the documents, et cetera, et cetera. But we don't tell it what to say. We don't try to shape it at all.
Starting point is 01:25:13 We ask the question. And then we read it to see because when you're doing it, all of the sources pop up. And he could go back and go, that source, that source, that source. And we'll see, you know, that one's taken out of context. But it can't imagine things. It can't make up things because it's memorized. the entire library. Right.
Starting point is 01:25:33 Something that's really cool from the audience, too, is they're asking when they're going to be able to ask questions because they have tons of good. You'll be able, hopefully my goal is within the year, maybe next year,
Starting point is 01:25:44 you will be able to converse with it and ask it yourself, all of these things. But there's a lot of testing before we open this up for the public. And it, and the compute is really expensive. So,
Starting point is 01:25:59 but hopefully next year, because this, This tool is, as I envision this tool, remember, I'm not trying to do this to build another network. I built Blaze. I did that. That part of my mission is over. I left the Blaze and I'm now doing this because this is about disrupting education. And you're not seeing that yet, but you will.
Starting point is 01:26:19 I mean, I'm spending into deep six figures every single month just on the new tech. I have an R&D on all of this. and I spend it every month and will continue probably for the rest of my life just to keep this ahead of the curve. So we can provide you and your kids the tools that you will need to help really focus in and get the education you deserve. Not the education that has been filtered either by me or some leftist. You don't want either of those. You want the actual documents. Sources are coming.
Starting point is 01:26:56 The FBI has been warning about a type of real estate free. that is on the rise called title theft and your equity is the target. Now, here's how it works. Criminals forge your signature on a single document. They use, you know, fake notary stamps and they file it with the county. And just like that, on record, they own your home. Using your ownership, they then take out loans at a bank and get your equity. And then, you know, like you didn't even sell your property.

Starting point is 01:28:23 Saving those children is how we all go home. From binge all episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I can tell you where you shouldn't live, especially if you're somebody who earns money, because they're going to start with the billionaires. And believe me, it will go down from there. I'm going to share that list of these super, super classic states that are just going to destroy themselves in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
Starting point is 01:29:47 What if you could make a small decision today that actually adds up to something big over time? Not a grand gesture, you know, not a life overhaul. choice that quietly does more good, the longer you stick with it. The idea that can happen is the idea behind Patriot mobile. On the surface is just a great cell phone service. Something you already pay for every month without thinking about it. But where the money goes matters. And with the cost of wireless companies, it's funding causes and activism. You know, the stuff that you don't support, If you're with Verizon, you want to help support Planned Parenthood. Go ahead.
Starting point is 01:30:26 That's what Verizon does with some of their profits. Patriot Mobile is the only Christian conservative mobile phone company. Flibs everything around. It's reliable nationwide service, same exact service. You're going to save money on it. But it also, they work hard to stand up for your values. In fact, if you are worried about Sharia law right now, Patriot Mobile Action, which is their action side of,
Starting point is 01:30:50 of the company. They take the profits that they are given from Patriot Mobile and they are right now leading a campaign to stop Sharia law in Texas. They are really, really working hard to stop that.
Starting point is 01:31:06 And I think that's kind of important. I don't know about you. We should be doing that everywhere. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot. Use the promo code Beck for a free month of service. It's Patriotmobil.com slash Beck.
Starting point is 01:31:23 Make the Switch today. All right. So I was talking to a friend of mine who lives in Seattle, and I keep, every time I talk to them, I'm like, why? Why? Why do you live in Seattle? Well, it's beautiful. No, it's really not.
Starting point is 01:31:35 I grew up there. It is beautiful. The trees are nice, you know? But you always know, you know, there's a problem when you live around some of the most beautiful mountains in the world. Seattle is surrounded by some of the most beautiful mountains in the world. and there's a problem when every six months, everybody in town is saying,
Starting point is 01:31:54 you can see the mountain today. Did you know that? You can see the mountain today? Wow, you can see the mountain today. Yes, because most days you can't see it because it's crap weather all the rest of the time. Anyway, he's always saying, oh, it's just so beautiful here. We can't move. But I'm like, they're going to trap you.
Starting point is 01:32:12 They're going to trap you and your wealth there. And, you know, everybody's like, no, they'll just do it to the billionaires. Uh-huh. Well, then after they're done with the billionaires, well, they just do it to the millionaires. Uh-huh. Do you know how income tax started? Do you know that income tax was never, this is Woodrow Wilson, never, ever going to go above 7% of an income. Never. And only on the top 5%. Never. What happened? They needed money in World War I. It lasted like a year. And then they didn't. just started all this progressive to progressive woodroles and progressive tax where everybody was paying taxes but don't worry we'll go back to that 7% only on the top 5% earners we'll do that uh you know after the war it never went back never went back but they're only going to do this on billionaires don't worry it'll never get to you it'll never get to you unless all the billionaires
Starting point is 01:33:14 move out of the state and then it'll get to the millionaires and then the millionaires will leave the state or you'll just destroy them and then they'll come to you because they got to have money to run all this corruption and everything else that they're doing so California is trying to pass this or did
Starting point is 01:33:30 pass it actually is it has not yet passed it's a valid initiative and Gavin Newsom is saying oh I'm not interested in this but if they do vote on it it'll be in November in November okay and so it'll start in it'll start January 1st, 27. Correct.
Starting point is 01:33:47 They're getting signatures now. Okay. Good. Good. Because I was going to say, if you know, it's a little late if you're a billionaire. It's a little late to get out. I would get out now because if this, if this passes, you're going to lose a one time. And always one time.
Starting point is 01:34:05 A one time tax of 5% on your net worth. Now, I don't know. I mean, what are you worth? Well, I'm not worth anything. I don't have anything. Well, do you have a house? Do you have a car? Do you have anything?
Starting point is 01:34:24 Anything. Because that's what your net worth is. Okay. So imagine you're, let's say you're a billionaire. Okay. Do billionaires just have all of their money sitting in a bank? No, they have it invested in different things. So you're going to charge them five,
Starting point is 01:34:42 Which means, let's say, let's say you're Elon Musk, you got a lot of money, but where is that money? That money is mainly in stocks for his own company. So he'll have to sell 5% of his stocks. Then take that money and give it to the government. Okay. What do you think happens if he's taking 5% of his money out of the company and having to give it to the government? Now, He's doing that because that's his net worth. But if his net worth ever goes down, they don't give him that 5% back. This is the biggest most communist kind of starting point you can possibly imagine. And it's honestly, it happens in every civilization that stops asking, how do we make things? How do we grow things? You'll notice Elon Musk's not talking about taxes.
Starting point is 01:35:41 He's talking about cutting spending. but he's not talking about taxes because he knows I make money by making things. If I make something and I make it better than everybody else, I'm going to make lots of money. That's what capitalism is. And real true capitalism is the most, is the best charity because all I have to do is serve you. If I'm thinking all the time, how do I make your life easier? How do I come up with something that you need, you want? Do you think they didn't even have to advertise on television the fat shot?
Starting point is 01:36:16 Everybody who's wanted a fat shot or a fat pill since they were born. Someday they're going to come up with a fat pill. So you take it and your fat just goes away. Well, they came up with it. Notice they didn't have to advertise because everybody saw their friends losing weight. They're like, what are you doing? Oh, there's this great fat shot. What?
Starting point is 01:36:36 Can I have that? They couldn't keep it in. stock. That's capitalism making something that everybody wants that will make their life easier or better in some way, shape, or form. That's capitalism. That's why Elon Musk, that's what he does. He's making stuff that make everybody go, holy cow, you did what? And it just gets better and better and better. But at some point, a civilization stops asking how to grow and it starts asking, how do I take that from him? How do I get that? Because I don't want to work for it. And the moment's always disguised as compassion. Yeah, but we have to take care of people who aren't
Starting point is 01:37:14 like him because he's a billionaire. He's got a lot of money. And it always, it always arrives wrapped in moral language and it always ends exactly the same way. Justice. Some kind of justice. We just need a little more. And these people can afford it. But history tells us something. every time that happens, this is uncomfortable. When a society begins taxing what already exists instead of what is being created, it's no longer building an economy. It's dismantling one. You know, you take that fat drug.
Starting point is 01:37:48 You can only take it for so long because what does it do? It starts eating good stuff. It starts eating muscle. And you can't lose the muscle. That's the good stuff. You want to get rid of the fat, not the muscle, right? That's what this is. When you start taxing things on not creation, but what already exists and what people have,
Starting point is 01:38:09 you're eating into the muscles. You're no longer thinking that I need to, I need even exercise or I need muscle. It's always going to be this way. Think of an orchard. A healthy society plants and or, plants trees, plants an orchard. They protect the soil. They wait for it to fruit. They take care of it.
Starting point is 01:38:31 a failing society cuts down the trees because they're angry at the people who planted them in the first place. You're like, wait, what? The harvest feels good at first, you know, one season, and then the orchard is gone.
Starting point is 01:38:49 And that's what wealth tax is, not income, not profit, stored value, the roots, the seed corn, and once you do it once, it's gone. This is going to be a one time 5%. Really? what are you going to do next year?
Starting point is 01:39:02 You're going to get addicted to that money. You need that money. We need it even more than we did last year. What are you going to do then? You're only going to do it once. Wow, that doesn't even sound like a good plan. History is merciless on this point. Every time governments have decided that wealth itself is immoral,
Starting point is 01:39:23 capital has done the only rational thing that it can do. And that is, okay, well, I'll leave. I mean, California. You think you've seen an exodus yet? You haven't seen anything. Wait until you start going after the billionaires that have been paying for a lot of your taxes. The ones who have been voting you in. Don't get me wrong.
Starting point is 01:39:46 I want those billionaires to stay in California. I want them in California. I don't want them in Texas because they haven't learned a damn thing. They were fine voting you in. They were fine using their wealth to get you in office so they could get what they need. now they don't like it, but they haven't learned their lesson. They're just like, well, they're going to take it away from me. I'll go and spread my socialist poison elsewhere until they don't get it and then I'll move someplace else.
Starting point is 01:40:14 Oh, yes, this is crap. But this is what happens. This is what happens. It leaves and it's quiet at first, but then it's all at once. And not because the wealth is greedy, but because what did you do? Honestly, who are you? the governments are greedy and France learned this the hard way
Starting point is 01:40:36 France did this years ago and they were like yeah we're gonna we're going to the tax of the people who make too much money and all those people like they just they got on the next ship and they were gone and also the tax race less than projected wait a minute what
Starting point is 01:40:51 yeah yeah because people left growth slowed unemployment rose eventually the government said oh even French I mean we've got to surrender to something, huh? They surrendered that thing. And Venezuela, Venezuela did not start with fairness. I mean, start with communism. It didn't start with all of this. They started with fairness. The Soviet Union didn't begin with breadlines. It started with resentment.
Starting point is 01:41:19 Notice fairness and resentment, they seem to go hand in hand right before the fall of something really, really good. What is the left sowing the seeds of fairness and resentment? and every socialist system that starts with, we know it's just going to take a little from those who have too much. It always ends in disaster. Same way. Same, same way. You run out of people's money because rich people go away and the middle class collapses.
Starting point is 01:41:50 And wealth taxes don't stay targeted. You know, they never do, ever. Once the principle is established that the state owns what you already have earned, the definition of wealthy can be slid down anywhere. First billionaires, millionaires, then homeowners. Who is it? I mean, look at what Mom Dani is saying in New York. Oh, you know what?
Starting point is 01:42:09 You're going to have a different relationship if you're white. You know, even some very rich black people, you're going to have a different relationship with private property. What? What are you talking about? Are we in Cuba? You know, got to take the people who have homes because there are a lot of people who don't have homes. Oh, the retirees, they got a lot of savings.
Starting point is 01:42:28 They got a lot of savings. Anybody who plans ahead. They planned ahead. They got a lot. It's why wealth tax is nothing but rage bait. It is politically intoxicating because they promise consequences without the cost. You're not going to pay a cost for it. They're going to pay.
Starting point is 01:42:45 I'm pissed at them. Look at what they've done. Yeah, look out because pretty soon you'll be them. And, you know, politicians say, you don't, there's no punishment here. Somebody else is going to absorb all the pain. And the pain always arrives. And it shows up as fewer jobs and as businesses that don't start and innovation that happens someplace else. A tax base that shrinks while obligations are growing and growing and growing.
Starting point is 01:43:10 As public service deteriorates, even as the taxes rise. California already has the highest state income tax in the nation and they still need more. How much more do you need California? It's already bleeding population. It hemorrhaging. It's hemorrhaging. businesses and a wealth, wealth tax, that's going to fix that.
Starting point is 01:43:32 Are you kidding me? That's gasoline on that fire. And here's the dangerous lie at the center of all of it, that wealth is static, wealth is hoarded. It just sits there. It doesn't. Wealth is future activity frozen in time. Factories that are not yet built, salaries not yet paid,
Starting point is 01:43:53 technologies not yet invented. Well, they got it all in stocks. What do you think, what do you think those stocks are doing? Why do we sell stocks in the first place? We sell stocks in the first place because the way it's supposed to work is people believe in that company. They believe they're going to make something great. They believe they're going to do something that really serves people.
Starting point is 01:44:11 And so the capitalist dream will actually happen. And I want to help them expand. I want to help them build the next factory. I want to help them hire new people. That's what stocks are supposed to do. And when you tax all of it away, you're not punishing the past. You're sabotaging your future. This is why socialism, I said this a long time ago.
Starting point is 01:44:30 First, you have to sell it, then you have to shove, and then you have to shoot. It always collapses into coercion. Because once voluntary participation disappears, force becomes the only remaining tool. You shame, you tax, you regulate, you restrict movement, and then you criminalize resistance. Shame, shove, shoot. You know, it's what I happen. California, you're at that fork in a road right now. One path admits hard truth.
Starting point is 01:45:02 You cannot spend more than you produce. You cannot punish people for funding your system. You can't vote yourself prosperity. And the other path is familiar. It's popular. It's very loud. It's also catastrophic, but it's probably the one you're going to choose. History is not whispering here to you.
Starting point is 01:45:20 It's shouting. Don't do it. You can redistribute wealth for a while. You can blame the rich, for a while, but you can't repeal mathematics and economic reality. And once the orchard is gone, no amount of rage is going to bring the trees back. Good luck with that, California. Back in a minute.
Starting point is 01:45:42 Let me tell you about life, luck. Most of us think about our identity the way we think about our health. If nothing feels wrong, we just assume that everything's fine. That's what makes identity theft frustrating. By the time you notice it, the damage is already done. Someone opens an account you never applied for. A loan shows up that's not yours. Credit takes a hit for something you didn't do.
Starting point is 01:46:01 And now you're stuck proving a negative. You're cleaning up a mess you never made. Lifelock exists for that reality. They monitor for signs that your personal information is being used in ways it shouldn't be. And if something goes wrong, they don't just alert you. They alert you and then not walk away. They alert you, then bring a team in to fix it. That means restoration specialists who step in, stay with you until the identity is yours

Starting point is 01:47:08 but how much should I be feeling sorry for these 200 billionaires that live in California right now? Because they've been doing business with progressives in California for decades. I don't feel sorry for them at all. I don't want them in my state. I want them to stay in California. I want to stay in California. They're not going to. They're going to move.
Starting point is 01:47:29 But I want you to stay in California. I want you to give up 5%. You're the ones who have been preaching and backing people up who are saying it's a patriotic duty. You're not even going to feel it. you know, they go after millionaires. You know who millionaires are people who are just starting to make it? And I mean, you know, you have a million dollars in assets, and that includes your company and everything else.
Starting point is 01:47:48 You're just starting. You're just starting to make it. You come in and you pound those millionaires. Those are the people, generally speaking. And I'm not talking about the Monopoly Man millionaire that everybody always thinks of when you think of a millionaire. I'm thinking about a guy who lives in your town and might own the lumberyard, whose his whole net worth is a million dollars.
Starting point is 01:48:10 He's a millionaire. Is he? Or is he creating jobs? And they go in and they tax them while they never tax the billionaires. They never go after these guys. Never. Because they have all the attorneys. And they're the ones throwing the big parties that everybody is going to,
Starting point is 01:48:26 you know what, I'm going to donate to your election. You know, just remember me, you know, when it gets to tax time. And so they get all these special favors. I have no sympathy. for these billionaires. None. Especially if you're not moving out now. And you're not moving out going,
Starting point is 01:48:41 I was wrong. I was wrong. I supported these people. I didn't see how pernicious this really was. I bought into the compassion thing. But I don't even think they bought into the compassion thing. I bet you most of them did it for their own money. They cared about their own money and their own business.
Starting point is 01:48:59 And they still only care about their own money in their own business. And, you know, so I have none. I have no compassion for him. I just know you can't eat them. Can you forecast what California looks like in five years if there's this mass exodus of billionaires? I think next year, California looks like Minnesota with real troubles on the street and real troubles within.
Starting point is 01:49:26 I think you're going to find massive fraud there. And then if you pass this, you're going to start hemorrhaging people with money and that whole thing is just going to collapse. Because look how much money, I can guarantee you, they are going to make Minnesota look like rookies when it comes to fraud and mismanagement of funds. It's going to happen. I mean, look how much more money is there.
Starting point is 01:49:48 They are just going to make it look like they're rookies in Minnesota. And when that thing starts to fall apart, look out. Get out of California. Don't move around me unless you really get it. otherwise, go find some of it. New York's nice. All right, let me tell you about relief factory. A relief factor.

Want to know how to survive financial collapse like those California elites? We have a new special out on glenbeck.com called
Starting point is 01:51:22 Capital Controls. Watch it now, only at glenbeck.com. I have, my whole team is in town today. We have people all over the country and everybody's come in because we have a big, I have a big announcement to make to the staff today that I'm really excited about. Something that I have wanted to do since I first thought, I'm going to do talk radio. We have a bingo card for what we think you're going to announce. Am I allowed to share any of that? No. Okay. No.
Starting point is 01:52:10 Nobody's getting robots. That's one of the guesses. I think he's getting us a robot. No, I'm not getting you anything. What are you selfish? Anyway, so they're all in town. And Nick Daly, who has been, we've been together for 2000. 25 years.
Starting point is 01:52:26 26. And Nick does all of our production, any of the beds you hear, any of the music that you hear. He and Sam Cardin, who is the guy who composes all of our music, they record it all and everything else. And it's just great. But I asked him to do something on the American story. And this is a, this is based on a book by David and Tim Barton. And Nathan Nipper, who is a writer for me, he spent months adapting this and writing it. And then I did the narration for it.
Starting point is 01:52:59 And then you took it and you had it forever. I mean, this is hard. Yeah, it was like six months of work probably for 10 episodes. 10 episodes, yeah. Hope it's worth it. But anyway, I heard, I mean, you've always, I've always said you are the best in the business. I mean that. I mean, you know,
Starting point is 01:53:19 Skywalker sound doesn't have anything on you. And when I had this come back to me, you can, and Ricky said this to me today, when you're telling the story about George Washington, or I'm telling a story about George Washington, and he's in the battle, you can hear the bullets whizz by,
Starting point is 01:53:38 especially if you're listening in your car, it's like the bullets are whizzing by your head. How did you do that? Is that just stereo? Is that? Yeah, most of it's stereo, but for the stuff passing by you is binaural audio. So it's kind of a spatial adaptation of stereo that kind of fakes surround sound and headphones. It's amazing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:55 It's really amazing because you do feel it. I mean, you feel like you're in battle. It's amazing. And we wanted it to be really immersive so you could feel what the angst that these people are going through in these battles. I mean, it's hair raising to have a bullet fly past you, let alone a hundred of them. Yeah. Were you amazed by the story? I was, yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:11 Yeah, some of the stories are like, wait, what happened? Just the fact that George Washington made it. through that battlefield all the way, you know, with all these bullets flying past him and bullets going through his coat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's still never got taken out. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:23 It's called the American story. How many tracks did, what is, what is like something normally you would do for us? It really depends on the context, but maybe, you know, maybe 100 tracks normally, but there were, there was one or two episodes that probably approached 400, 400 tracks. 400 tracks. Well, you're fabulous. It's really, really good. We do have one clip. clip from the Battle of Trenton.
Starting point is 01:54:46 Yeah, here's a Battle of Trenton from The American Story can be found now. It's free at glenbeck.com. Listen. It's after 8 a.m. when Washington's troops finally swarm into Trenton. There's no turning back now. The Hessian troops stumble from their barracks into heavy musket and cannon fire. In the frenzy charge, an 18-year-old Virginia takes a musket ball through the shoulder that severs an artery. He collapses.
Starting point is 01:55:16 He's bleeding out in the snow. A civilian doctor named John Riker, as in Riker's Island, rushes into the fray. Riker's not in the army. He just shown up to offer his assistance when he heard the battle erupt. Spotting the fallen officer, he tears open the man's uniform and clamps the artery with his bare fingers.
Starting point is 01:55:39 It works. Dr. Riker saves the young lieutenant's life. A young man named, James Monroe, who is going to go on to serve as the nation's fifth president. It's incredible. And you're just hearing this in mono. We're making it in mono for radio audio. You listen to it online at glenbeck.com, and it is so immersive.
Starting point is 01:56:03 It is really great. It's really hard to find sounds that don't have ventilation hum or, you know, when you talk about these historical things. Yeah. It's like, let me find a room tone or a, you know, a city ambience that doesn't have cars in the back. around or doesn't have planes. This is the kind of stuff he thinks about all day long. It's like, where do I find the ambient noise that doesn't have a car in the background?
Starting point is 01:56:25 You're the audio nerd we need. You are. You're fabulous. Thank you very much. Thank you. I appreciate it. There is also something else. Oh, before you leave, the George A.I.
Starting point is 01:56:37 And the Glenn A.I. George A.I. Today is on Sharia law. And I don't know what Glenn A.I is on. Do you know? Jason didn't tell me. He's fired, right? Yeah, of course he is.
Starting point is 01:56:48 But can you talk about that? Because I remember doing something. We should find this from 2017. I tried to recreate my voice using AI. And you could hear kind of the beginnings of the tones that I would use. But it was so clearly just, it was garbled. It was awful. And they said that audio is actually harder than video for some reason.
Starting point is 01:57:12 I don't know if that's true, but that's what we heard at the time. and and it has moved so fast. We were on the phone, was it over Christmas? And we were trying to get my voice right. Right. Yeah. And I have to tell you, I listened to it last night and it's a little spooky. I mean, it, it's, I mean, it's exact, except it doesn't make any mistakes.
Starting point is 01:57:32 It's exact. And it's like you have to retrain it constantly because as the algorithm is evolving or as the, the, the, the voice model is evolving. Sometimes they'll make a code change and all of a sudden you sound like one of the generic voices for, for a few seconds at the beginning. So then I'll have to go back and retrain the, retrain the model. Because in the middle of one of the George AIs this week, all of a sudden you heard George just,
Starting point is 01:57:54 he like changed. It was like going through puberty for a second. Yeah. And then it came back. And that was. And that's just like a glitch in their model that is really hard to predict. And that's 11 labs. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:04 Are they the only ones that make voices like this? Are they just the best? Like I've heard some other ones and it's like you can really tell that they're AI or they sound stilted. Yeah. And 11 has the best emotional context. It's incredible. It's incredible.
Starting point is 01:58:19 It's not quite there entirely yet. But it's enough to fool somebody into thinking that this is the real person. And the one thing we want to make sure, that's why I call it Glenn AI is we never want you to think that that is me. Although it is based on 30 years of everything I've ever recorded, ever written. My entire catalog, which is, we went through this the other day. What was it like 40 or 400? Some crazy thing like 400 Bibles. I mean, it's just an enormous library.
Starting point is 01:58:54 And so it takes everything that I know. It can't pull from anything outside, only the information and it has to memorize everything I've ever said. And so when it says, talk to me about, you know, whatever, talk to me about AI. It will talk to you as it understands. me and my performance is clearly not me, but it can only take my ideas and rework them,
Starting point is 01:59:20 um, uh, in the fashion of, of, of, of, of AI. And we're,
Starting point is 01:59:25 we're, we're seeing a split in the audience. Some people say, I can never, I can never, I can never listen to it. I don't ever want to listen to it. I don't want anything AI.
Starting point is 01:59:34 That's fine. And I understand that. I do. I've been the guy on the, on the radio since, well, it's not even the 20s. It was in 1990.
Starting point is 01:59:43 six or seven that started warning about AI and told you what was coming and said it was going to happen around 2030 and here it all is we are we're going to release our AI ethics here in the next few days so you understand my ethics on AI so you know exactly how I feel about it it is the most dangerous thing man has ever invented it is also the greatest thing man has ever invented it just depends. Do you understand it's a tool? And I really, this really was brought home to me. I was with a friend who's a surgeon and, uh, he was working, um, on, uh, a robot, if you will. And it's called the Da Vinci seven, I think. And it is this amazing surgical tool that can do things that you just can't do, but it is all run by the surgeon. It is still his hands.
Starting point is 02:00:39 off to the side of the room running this robot, but it can get into places. And the difference that it can make in people's lives and surgery is remarkable. But he's not the tool. That's the tool. He's the one making all the decisions and everything else. And if you decide to check out and don't do anything AI, I fear you're going to regret it.
Starting point is 02:01:06 If you don't understand that AI is a tool and you are its master, you are going to live to regret that even more. But I remember when Apple 2C came out, the Apple 2C, remember that old computer? And I like to write things out on longhand. And I got an Apple 2 and I'm like typing all this stuff in. And I'm like, I hate this. I'm never going to. I just like it in paper. And I never learned to use a computer up until the 2000s because I didn't want it.
Starting point is 02:01:36 like paper. I have a hard time with computers. Nothing is intuitive to me because all of that time was wasted. And I can't do that. The same is going to be true with AI. It is going to be a part of your life. You should master it now before it tries to master you. You should master it now because I don't care what you do. It's going to play a role in your life. Master it. You. You use it as the tool so you're not, so you in the end have a choice. I'm either going to use it or I'm not. I'm going to use it that way or I won't. But at least you'll have that door open to where you can use it in ethical ways.
Starting point is 02:02:21 But if you avoid it now, you're going to regret it. I really believe you're going to regret it because you'll be left in the dust and it's moving way fast, way fast. All right, back in just a minute. Let me tell you about the burner launcher. There comes a moment when your gut tells you something is off. The danger is in this place. It's not loud. It's not dramatic.
Starting point is 02:02:45 Just a quiet signal that says, pay attention, pay attention. And in that moment, what you have with you matters. The burner compact launcher is designed for real life for those in-between moments where you don't need lethal force, but you do need protective options. It's a non-lethal personal defense tool that's small, lightweight, and easy to carry, which means it can actually go with you instead of staying home. because it's non-lethal, legal in all 50 states, it's also not requiring a permit anywhere. There's no bureaucratic run-up or legal maze to deal with. It's simple, it's practical, and it's ready whenever you are. Just have to be over 18.
Starting point is 02:03:20 The compact launcher is about creating distance and buying time, giving you a way out of a bad situation without having to make a decision that you can't take back. This is not about living on the edge. It's about having a tool that matches real-world decisions and real-world consequences. Burnup, B-Y-R-R-N-R-N-E. com. Learn more.

Once you recognize a sci-op or psychological operation, everything changes.
Starting point is 02:03:53 Stay informed, citizens. At glenbeck.com. Jason Butrell, who is, uh, Jason Buttrill is the guy who is our headwriter. He is also our military analyst and he is now the host of the insider, which happens during this show. When we go into commercial breaks, he takes over and kind of sweeps up with all of the information that I have missed. Have I, is there anything that we talked about earlier that I haven't hit yet that I was supposed to hit?
Starting point is 02:04:38 I really wanted you to hit Havana Syndrome today because we looked at it for so long. That's an insane story. Yeah. We had, in fact, that was in our prep for the longest time. You put like a special tab in your prep for the show and it was just under Havana syndrome. So we were tracking those stories. That's right. If you remember, Havana syndrome was done to buy the Cubans, we think, to American citizens and especially those who are working in the embassy in Cuba.
Starting point is 02:05:08 And they would all report ringing in their ears and trouble thinking. Brain damage eventually. And we denied it for a while. First we said there's something going on and then we denied it. And now they're saying that somehow or another, we have this technology? This is our technology now. So yesterday, a crazy CNN report saying that they have sources that say that we did an undercover like sting operation. And this was done by the Department of Homeland Security.
Starting point is 02:05:37 And they obtained and bought. And I think they said it was an eight figure purchase for this device. But they're saying that the device, which... Can I ask you something? We lowered our standards so far. When did we just stop getting Mission Impossible to go in and steal the damn thing? Why are we paying somebody eight figures? I mean, assuming that they're enemies.
Starting point is 02:05:59 Yeah. We can steal Maduro, but we can't steal this device. That's really, that's screwed up. Come on, America. I'm so jazz. I think one of the craziest things about this is we have sonic weapons, things that can do similar things that was described, but they're large. So they're very, very big.
Starting point is 02:06:15 This apparently can fit. It's so small, it's been miniaturized to where it can be put into a backpack if this report is accurate. And you have to, you just turn it on and then everybody around there has it, or do you have to point it at people? It's got to be directional. Because some people, some of the diplomats that were getting hit with this said that they were in their hotel room and then all of a sudden they were getting hit with this, but nobody around them was. So it's got to be very, very precise and directional. Is this the technology that they were talking about? They may have used on Maduro's guards. I love that you brought this up. I think that was something even different. Personally,
Starting point is 02:06:47 I think it was something different. And I think it's a capability that we have on a larger scale. And I remember like Peter Ducey, remember he had that on Fox. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a like a heat ray. Yeah, well, I think it's even different from what he's describing because whatever did this, it knocked out radars. It knocked out the ability for them to use man pads to shoot down our helicopters. It did, I think it was a blanket thing that did all of that plus affected the soldiers on the ground. So that's terrifying where we're going as far as the future warfare. Imagine what war is going. This is like, you know what this is? This is 1915. before the war came and nobody knew what chemical weapons and tanks and everything else and war completely changed overnight.
Starting point is 02:07:28 I have a feeling I don't not want to go to war. Please tell me that you're comfortable with Donald Trump what he said, you know, we're going to get him in Iran. Please tell me you. I think he's just. Well, I think he's been, okay, well, I don't know how to make you feel better about this, but I think that he's been backed into a corner on this. I really do. I think he has to do something and that will come eventually. but as long as it's not boots on the ground
Starting point is 02:07:51 and they're very sure that what they target will actually draw attention away from the protesters, that's the key. How do they target the actual regime and IRGC and actually have it mean something and put pressure off the protesters? He said help was on the way. What does that mean?
Starting point is 02:08:08 Yeah. Killing the mullahs would be helpful. I think that's a really bad idea. But if I'm in the... room, I at least say it. Is anybody talked about just killing the bad guys? I mean, I know we know where they are.
Starting point is 02:08:27 Anybody have an Israeli beeper on them that we can take over? There's two parts of this relationship within Iran. One is the IRGC and the Mullahs. The other is the Army. Target the IRC and the Mullahs and empower the Army. Yes. All right. Hey, we'll see you tomorrow. Thanks for listening. You missed any of the show to go to glenbeck.com.
