The Glenn Beck Program - Did President Trump Just Admit Aliens Exist?! | Guests: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna & Axel Bouchon | 2/20/26

Episode Date: February 20, 2026

Is the Trump administration about to admit the existence of aliens? Glenn reacts to President Trump discussing the potential declassification of classified documents on extraterrestrial life for public viewing. Glenn takes calls from his audience to discuss topics such as the Epstein files and the possibility of alien life. During a recent interview, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice warned companies that once the Democrats retake power, they will go after those who worked with Trump. Glenn tells the uplifting story of American figure skater Alysa Lui, whose father escaped communist China, as Alysa just won the gold medal for figure skating in the Winter Olympics. In a shocking decision, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump does not have the tariff authority he claimed, effectively ending most of his tariffs. Neuroscientist Axel Bouchon joins to discuss what happens in our brain chemistry when we’re allowed to find connection over animosity. Glenn plays another one of his new songs, which tells part of the story of George Washington. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) joins Glenn to discuss why she believes the DOJ should take another look at some of the alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein. Learn more about your ad choices.

We just came off Valentine's Day, which is supposed to be about flowers and cards and nice dinners. But if you really think about it, love isn't proven by chocolate, although I could make a very good case for it. It's proven by what you do to protect the people who matter most when life doesn't go according to plan. This is one of the reasons I'm such a believer in Jace Medical. I started thinking about the people in my life, my family, my friends, and I ask myself, if something happens and they can't get help right away, have I done everything I can ahead of time? Have you ever asked this question yourself? The Jace case is a set of doctor-prescribed antibiotics, emergency medications that you order online have shipped straight to your door.

It's about being ready for the real-world scenarios that we all hope never will happen. And it's not just a J-S-case. Their doctors also offer preparedness options from long-term supplies of daily meds to practical first aid support. It is great. J-S-D-com.

We'll take any question. 888-727-B-E-C-K. I want to talk about the UFO stuff that's going on because this is just getting weird. Is this a giant sci-op? I mean, even when they're coming out with stuff, you're like,

I don't know. Is that a trick too? I mean, there's no trust on anything, on anything. So we've got to talk about the weird story of UFOs. Canada, now just I guess just saying, hey, if you've ever fought for any country and you want to fight for Canada, just call us. We'll have you. We'll just put the maple leaf on your shoulder and you can come fight for us. I mean, this is the Roman Empire, absolutely. Also, the U.S. hockey team, an amazing story about Olympic gold from yesterday. England's saying you can't use Diego Garcia.

Where in the world is Diego Garcia? I don't know. Actually, I do, but most people don't. That's a very important base and would be critical if we did anything in Iran. We've got to talk about that because, boy, boy, the only thing we haven't done so far is open up the silo doors. It looks like we might be going to war. Susan Rice is in the news. More on Epstein that is just insanity.

We'll begin in 60 seconds. first. Let me talk to about Rough Greens. Imagine spending your whole life just eating food that is not nutritious because it is just been processed. Imagine, I gotta tell you, I want to talk to Mr. Reese's

because he is singing my song, man. Rees's peanut butter cups suck. They are so bad. Find out there's no peanut butter and there's no peanut butter and there's no chocolate in any of them anymore. Anyway, it's all processed. Well, that's what your dog is eating.

Processed food all the time. Imagine if you were feeding that to your kids every day for, that's all they ate. What do you think your kids would be like? I mean, they'd be like 30 and they'd probably look like 65. Rough greens is a nutritional supplement that you put on your dog's food twice a day, right on top of the food. Whatever you're feeding your dog, it gives all of the vitamins, minerals, probiotics, all the things that are live that are cooked out of your dog's food because it's processed, put it back in your dog, you're going to see a difference in your dog's health,

you'll see a difference in your dog's energy, and your dog loves it as well. 214, Roughdog, go to Roughgreens.com, promo code Beck, RUFFF Greens.com, promo code Beck.

The beginning of the week, Barack Obama is on a

podcast, and he's asked, are aliens real? And he says, they're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in, what is it, Area 51. Okay. Everybody goes crazy. What is Obama doing?

Blah, blah, blah. Then Laura Trump, the president's daughter, comes out, and she says, what was it exactly? My dad has a speech ready to go, right? To talk about aliens.

You're like, wait, what, what, what is, what is happening here? Then after that, you have the president coming out yesterday. And he says he's going to direct Heg-Seth to release all government UFO files. Okay.

So let's listen to that. Can we listen to that? I think it's cut seven. There's nothing to get a lot of attention this week. Barack Obama said that aliens are real. Have you seen any evidence of non-human visitors to Earth? Well, he gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that.

So aliens are real? Well, I don't know if they're real or not. I can tell you he gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that. He made a big mistake. He took it out of class of right information. No, I don't have an opinion on it. I never talk about it.

A lot of people do. A lot of people believe it. Do you believe it, Peter? Well, the president can declassify anything that he wants to. So maybe I'll get him out of trouble. I may get him out of trouble by declassified. We know illegal aliens, really. Yeah, illegal.

Only illegals. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. This is crazy. You wouldn't be breaking the classified information rule if you were saying they didn't exist and they didn't exist. That's not classified information. Why would you classify that they didn't exist? Okay. So he violated classified information.

I don't know what that means. And so then he says, yeah, I just might release all of the government files. Now, he says he might do a lot of things on things like this and, you know, who knows. But let me just take you back a couple of weeks, shall I? There was a story in the New York Post, and I don't even know. It was in our show prep, and I don't even know if we got to it. But I thought it was important enough to include it in our show prep at the time so you could read it. This came out January 24th.

The Bank of England has been advised to create a plan for the inevitable financial chaos that will result if and when world governments disclose the existence of aliens. former senior financial security analyst Helen McCraw sent a letter to the UK's central bank urging the institution to prepare for the economic impact of someone disclosing the existence of aliens. If such a disclosure should come from the White House, Cambridge educated McCra, projected in her letter, the revelation will send shockwaves through financial markets

and the banking system and inspire general unrest among earthlings. I don't think, I mean, you're going to go march out in the streets if you find out that earthlings, I mean, that aliens are real? I not. I might actually stay in my house a little bit more that go out into the streets.

In the documentary Age of Disclosure, physicist UFO researcher revealed that George H.W. Bush administration convened experts in the alien field in the early 2000, tasked him with figuring out the positive and negatives of revealing that mankind is not alone in the universe. The group weighed the impact on 60 different aspects of human culture, including religion and the stock market and determined the negative fallout of public disclosure outweighed the benefits for population at large. Are we really that? Are we really that fragile? Jason, would you weigh in on this?

Do you really think we're that fragile on this, that we would fall apart? I mean, my faith is not so fragile that I find out that there's, you know, aliens that I'm going to, I'm going to lose my faith and stop going to church. That wouldn't make any sense at all to me. And I'm going to pull my money out of the stock market because we have evidence that aliens are real. What sense does that make? I think there's a couple of different things. Like, did you ever see that movie contact with Jody Foster back in like the early 90s? Yes, loved it.

It was really good. And I don't know if you remember, there were like fringe, you know, religious groups that were coming out like in the movie. I thought that was kind of very, I don't know, similar to how it would be today. But I think the biggest thing, the big people that are within the disclosure movement or were within the entire thing. You see these on some of the documentaries, some of the guys that used to be part of the program. There was this one guy that said the biggest worry was that if they come out and confirm everything now was economic. And he went further into it. And he said, well, what happens when a lot of these competing companies,

they suddenly found out that some of the technology was based off of recovered craft. And it was lent or given over to, let's just say, Comcast. Let's just throw that out there as an example. But all the other telecommunication companies. I mean, come on, man. Really? We're like, we've got this alien technology. Who do we give it to?

let's give it to the cable company. That's... Another one, Fisher Price. Give it over to Fisher Price and let's have them create the best toys ever. But then Mattel is like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We didn't get any of that cool new toy tech. Like, what is going on here? We deserve basically reparations or we deserve compensation for everything that they got and gave them an advantage for.

Seriously, that is the scenario. that they are the most worried about as far as economic. Trillions and trillions of dollars that they would now go up for grabs for them to fight over for. And it would happen globally internationally. That is the biggest thing when you think about fragility that they're thinking about. Yeah, go ahead, Ricky. I think you're abnormal. I think the fact that you're not worried, I mean, you've seen the alien movies.

It never ends well for the humans. And the fact that you're not worried makes you abnormal. people like me I actually have nightmares about aliens invading Earth. Am I alone here? I'm serious. You are alone. If I hear that aliens are touching down or they're trying to contact, I'm finding your bunker in Idaho, and I'm locking down.

Really? That's, I think that's... Really? Why? How are you not afraid? Well, because what are you going to do about it? So you're just going to hang it up and not fight the aliens? No, I'm just like, no. If I hear that aliens are, on the other side of the moon and they're mounting an invasion, then I'm worried. But if we find out that aliens landed on Earth in 1956 and they died and we had their body someplace,

okay, well, we know there's a real. Now, if they say, and by the way, they're shapeshifters, and they might be among us, then I freak out. Are you talking about Nancy Pelosi? Yes, I am. I mean, then I freak out. But if it's just that we have, We know that aliens exist. Okay. I mean, I'm not surprised by that. I mean, I would be very surprised if they're shape shifters and they're here on Earth. But I'm not surprised.

As it says in that movie, contact, as Carl Sagan used to say, what a horrible waste of space if we are alone. I mean, think of the vastness of space. All of this was created and we're the only forms of intelligent life that makes no sense whatsoever. So I'm actually kind of excited by it. I don't want to arrange the meeting. You know, I'm not like, hey, let's put out all of our Reese's peanut butter cups when they come on down. They might like them. It's not going to end well. So I'm not, yeah. Have you seen the documentary Mirage, man? No. So I'm bringing this up because a lot of the insiders are talking about in the chat right now that this could be or this seems like a distraction, you know,

some kind of distraction operation. And Miragemen, every time the government wanted to distract you away from something, they would say, oh, look at the, this is like, they would filter it out little by little and say this is evidence of aliens. It does seem very, very convenient that every time a major story is going on, we get a new disclosure hint. I don't know. Oh, I think this is much more likely that this is a sciop.

I think it's much more likely that that's what's happening. I do believe that there is a good shot that we have had, that we have intelligence that life exists outside of human life, okay, and Earth life. I do believe that there is a good chance that we know that. Whether we have, you know, alien technology or not, I don't know. I'd be interested to find out. but I think this whole thing is much more likely a siop. I mean, you know, what would be the one thing that would unite everybody on Earth? People in space coming to get you. So what is the siop? Are they trying to distract us from?

Is it war with Iran, the economy? I think that it's interesting that this is all happening the week of Epstein again. I mean, when this story came out, you know, we should, we should, anybody who is an insider or anybody who is, you know, just, just do a quick search, line up the big stories when the big stories came out on the UFO and find out what was happening those weeks. Mm-hmm. And line up the big stories and see if there's any correlation to big stories that came out those weeks. For instance, I mean, if you start to find 60% of them also coincide with Epstein things, I think you have your answer on your SIOP. But that should be easy to, that should be easy to check.

Run that through. Get that to me. 888727 BECK. Isn't that weird? You'd never be able to do that a year ago. I mean, the access to information that we have now is so incredible. You can do anything. And I don't think people really understand.

I don't think they appreciate the time that we live in right now. Quick, enjoy it because, you know, as I said, I think I said this off the year earlier. So maybe I shouldn't say it on the air. But we all know that Elon Musk is going to turn out to be the Antichrist at some point. But until that time, it's kind of cool to see everything that's happening, right? All right. going to take phone calls 888727 BECK. We'll do that in just a second.

First, let me tell you about the Berna launcher. You just had to have that late night gas station burrito, didn't you? You told yourself it was a bad idea, but you're like, I'm an adult, I make good decisions, and then you walked away because, you know, nobody makes it quite like they do at 1147 p.m. And now you're standing there waiting for change and the door swings open, and the guy with a knife decides this is this big moment. The only thing you have right now is that big burrito.

You could throw it at his open. in mouth, hoping that maybe you'd put them in the John for a while so you could get out, or you have a non-lethal option right there in your back, and that's the Burna Launcher. It fires powerful chemical irritant projectiles, designed to disrupt a threat and create distance without using deadly force. Now, tear gas, if you've already eaten the burrito, maybe you're come prepared with that yourself, you know what I mean? But if not, try a Burn a launcher.

On our VIP line is Eric. Hello, Eric. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Hi, thanks. You know, back in the 90s, I used to watch a lot of, you know, programs like Discovery Channel, Learning Channel, back when they showed stuff like that. And one program was Nazi super weapons that we confiscated after the war. And one of them was a flying device that supposedly could fly any direction, change directions, fly at unimaginable speeds. And when it flew, it looked like a blue orb. And all the sightings we've seen over the years have been blue.

Orbs. And so I really believe that the government has used the whole UFO thing to cover up that technology. You know, I think I saw that, and it was very credible that documentary. I don't know if it was, but it seemed very credible at the time. I've thought about that documentary multiple times because didn't that blue orb, all of that technology just kind of disappear, right, towards the end? Right. Right. Right. The thing we got later was the stealth bomber. You know, they finally unveiled that in the late 80s. But back then, you know, the Nazis had the prototype for the stealth bomber and it looked identical to the one we have. Yeah. Eric, thanks for your call. Tom, North Dakota. Hello, Tom. Hello, how are you? I'm very good. Can I ask, what is the temperature in North Dakota today? Well, we are in the oil country. And this morning,

temperature is seven below. Huh. Seven below zero. Yeah. It's 73 here. I just want you to know. It's just there's no need for seven below anymore. Yeah, you're welcome.

Anyway, thanks for being up in oil country, Tom. How can I help you? I have a question on the files. I don't like to say the name, but it's the files. Yeah. And the, everybody's talking, I mean, social media, all the news, everybody wants everyone arrested. And I don't understand how that whole process works unless those files are, are the investigation itself. And then the Justice Department can move forward with charging people.

So I'm, I'm just. The files are raw, so it is not the investigation. And I don't honestly, I mean, I wish I knew if investigations were going on about the files, as you say. I will tell you, the more I get into this Prince Andrew thing, the more you start to see the way he was writing. And apparently there's tons of people that were writing this way and a shocking number of women involved. I don't know why we are just talking about the pimp and not the Johns. I mean, we know the abuse apparently happened because the pimp is talking to the Johns, but we don't seem to know who any of the Johns are.

And I've never seen this before. I've never seen anything like this before. So I hope. Yeah. Go ahead. Yes, sir. And that's, you know, and then everybody's all excited because he was a And well, he was only arrested because England doesn't like how he portrayed his office.

And it really, he didn't, he wasn't charged with anything to do with the case other than the fact that he made their office look bad. Yeah. And it's interesting how little apparently England cares. I mean, the rape gangs can go on. If you're a Muslim, that's why I hear he's converting over to Islam. But if you're a Muslim, you can just go ahead and have the rape gangs and nobody's going to say a word about it. If you're a prince, just don't betray your country, but you can do whatever you want with girls underage. All right, more in just a second.

Let me tell you about life lock. Not having life lock is a bit like walking around, you know, blindfolded a little bit while holding your wallet wide open for the world to see.

I've got so much to talk to you about the Epstein thing. Why all of this information?

Why was it held this long? Why was it held this long? And it's so interesting that they only go after the prince when, you know, he's betrayed the country, not betrayed, you know, humanity by making it with underage girls. And I want to tell you a story. If I have time today, I want to tell you a story. story about a friend of mine who is found dead on the side of the highway. And it was not a suicide, even though everybody tries to make it into a suicide.

It was not a suicide. And I believe it may be tied to this. We'll talk about that coming up. Also, your phone calls 888727BECK. Let me go to Tom in Missouri. Hello, Tom. Welcome. Hey, Glenn.

So I actually met you at the art show down in Dallas. I have been a paranormal investigator for almost 40 years. I remember because you wanted to do, yes, you said, let me go into your museum and record the museum, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because we think we've had paranormal. Yeah, all right, go ahead. Yeah.

So I have done probably now 15 or 16, what they officially call UFO hunts, gone out with people that are UFO, experienced UFO hunters, whatever you want to call them, never experienced anything, ever. Saw satellites, I've talked to hundreds of people about it, you know, in the years that I've been doing this. And it just, I want to believe, but my philosophy is if they really are real, why is it they only come down and talk to the crazy guys that have been in the mountains drinking? Because every time I've ever talked to anybody about it, it's always been, well, we were out doing this or we were out hunting and we woke up three hours later and no idea what happened. And I'm like, were you drinking?

And they're like, well, yeah. And I'm like, well, so I would love to experience it. you yeah you don't think that we don't think we don't think we have anything on this so this is a siop to you yeah i think it's it's a distraction i really do i really do i do too uh thanks tom appreciate i still want i still want to hunt i still want to do a museum someday so you know we haven't had anything what so what you know the tom is talking about is i don't know about four years ago or five years ago we purchased a bunch of stuff that was uh nazi related and death camp related.

And we had it in one room in the museum. And for about two weeks every night, the alarm would trip. And we would see like a floating orb in that part of the museum. Do you remember that? And we had no idea what it was. We would respond, you know, our security would respond immediately. There was never anything there. And it was just, honestly, it could have been.

been a speck of dust that was really close to the camera. You know, that was, but I don't, I don't, we don't know what it was. We don't know what it was, but it was setting off the alarm every night. And it was really bizarre. So Tom, we haven't had a problem with that, but, uh, I'll put you in touch with the museum. Thanks. Go ahead.

Thanks, Glenn. Oh, I was going to say, when I did the art show with you, I walked by Lucille's balls dress. And I just got to that vibe that I've gotten, you know, like the hair standing up. on my neck kind of thing. And then also the shoes, the Wizard of Oz shoes. Ruby slippers.

Yeah. Yeah, the Ruby slippers. Just that vibe that I've gotten off of things before in all the years that I've been doing this. So anyway, I just thought it would be cool. Thank you. Appreciate it. You got it.

Let me go to Tim in Wisconsin. Hello, Tim. Good morning, Glenn. Hey. I'm calling because you seem to, Sean, PBD, Andrew, you guys seem to want to give the recipe to the Democrats on how to beat the Republicans. And I just don't get it. It's exactly.

You caught me, Tom. You caught me. Gosh, we've been calling each other and we've been saying, let's give the recipe to the Democrats so they can defeat us. And you hear you are, you caught us. Come on, man. What do you mean by what do you mean? I mean, you obviously don't believe we're intentionally doing it. So what do you think we're doing?

I'm watching PBD, and this is when Charlie was still with us. And on PBD, there's Charlie and Chris Cuomo, and Charlie is talking about how he got Trump elected. And Chris Cuomo looks at him with this look at his face like Charlie, and he says, Charlie, why are you giving me the recipe to Grandma's Sunday chicken dinner? Why are you doing this? Why are you giving me this blueprint? And I just don't understand it. I just don't get it. So, okay, so I can't answer for Charlie.

Tell me what I'm doing that you think I'm giving away the recipe. You know, every now and then, and I knew that this is going to come up. And, but I know that you've talked about why the Democrats are doing this? Why are they doing that? An AOC example, or it might be another example somewhere. I just don't understand. It must make for good radio or whatever. I mean, I grew up in a Democratic household.

Okay, hang on just a second. Ricky says she knows what you're talking about. Tim, I know exactly what you're talking about. And sometimes I've had the same thought where we are criticizing their dumb decisions, their dumb policy that's clearly going to backfire, some of the things that they say out loud. And we tell them, do you guys want to lose? And I think what, and we're basically telling them, if you keep doing this, you will lose. And Tim is saying, we need to keep that a secret among ourselves.

So here's a thing. The real, real renegades that actually run the DNC now, the real revolutionaries, they're not going to change because we say this. I'm trying to actually point out to the Democrats that I think are sane, because there are sane Democrats. I know we don't like to believe that, but there are. They can't all be crazy Marxist. And to win, you've got to get some of those people to wake up and go,

wait a minute, I'm not for that. If that's my side, he's right. I'm not for that. So that would be my motivation. And also, I think it's important that the show reflects the conversation that the country is having. Does that make sense, Tim? Yep. Yep.

Okay. Okay, good. Thank you. Glenn, I also think that you care about saving the country as a whole and not just winning elections, right? Because we need Democrats. to come back to common sense in order to save the country. If we, if we, if we say, you know what, us Trumpers, we're the only ones to get it.

Okay. That's going to leave a lot of people out. And so what happens when, what happens with that? What happens if you win and let's say you win for the next 20 years? What do you do with the rest of the country that is so disenfranchised? Because listen, I'll show you what they're planning. This is not. giving away any secrets here because they're saying it out loud. Listen to Susan Rice and what she

said just the other day, if they win, this is what they're planning. Listen. But when it comes to the elites, you know, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media, I agree with you, Preet. It is not, it's not going to end well for them. For those that decided that it was, you know, that they would act in their perceived. very narrow self-interest, which I would underscore is very short-term self-interest, and, you know, take a need to Trump. If these corporations think that the Democrats, when they come back in power, are going to, you know, play by the old rules and, you know, and say, oh, never mind, we'll forgive you for all the people you've fired, all the policies

and principles you've violated, all, you know, the laws you've seen. skirted, I think they've got another thing coming. And we're not going to play by, you know, the old set of rules when these guys are playing by a very different set of rules. We're going to play by the law, but that's, we're not going to violate the law the way they do, but we're not going to be suckers. And so I think, you know, whether you're a law firm, whether you're university, whether you're a media entity, whether you're a big corporation, whether you're big tech, you need to play a long game, not this short game that has been so detrimental. There will be an accountability agenda.

You know, companies already are starting to hear, they better preserve their documents. They better be ready for subpoenas. If they've done something wrong, they'll be held accountable. Okay. This is fascinating to me because that's exactly what I want. I want anybody who's broken the law to be held accountable. I want it. That's exactly what I want.

Exactly what I want. That's not what she's talking about here. She's talking about a good old-fashioned Marxist purge. If you went against your principles, what does that mean? What does that mean? It means they believe their principles are the, are God's principles, that they know what the right principles are and you don't have a right to violate any of those principles. You got out, you decided you're not going to do DEI. Fine.

Well, we'll remember that. got out and you were like, you know, as a corporation, I'm not going to pay attention to this climate change nonsense anymore. And the rules have changed. The laws have changed. The, the, um, all of the regulations have been changed. And if you say, thank God, I'm actually free to do what I believe is right, I'm going to do those things. They'll remember you. And you better keep your documentation. That is an absolute threat. Anyone who says, Donald Trump is weaponizing the government. I want to just point to you, she just listed media.

Well, that would be me. Law firms, corporations, large and small, tech corporations, we're not going to play by the old rules. Well, like constitutional rules, because you haven't been playing by the constitutional rules in a very, very, very, very, very long time. Now, she would point out that it is, you know, things like the FCC. Did you hear my interview yesterday with Brendan Carr from the chairman of the FCC? He never made that call to CBS. No one made that call to CBS or to or to what's his name?

I can never remember his name because it shows. Colbert. He never made that call to Colbert. Nobody did. actually the candidate and Colbert colluded because they knew they would make headlines. Okay, now wait a minute. That's a whole different story here. That's a whole different story. And as he said, as Brendan Carr said yesterday, these are the laws. The left has just not followed the laws for a very long time. And it's interesting to me, everybody says, why aren't we using the laws? Why don't we do what the Democrats do and enforce these things?

And it's always because we don't want to be the bad guys, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so I don't know about you and everybody else, but if it's a law on the book, I think it should be enforced. Otherwise, get rid of the law. And that's exactly what Brendan Carr said. You want to change the law, then change the law. But here's the law. And as long as we're in charge, we're going to enforce that law. What they're talking about is purging, making a list. Who does that? Make a list. Remember, that's what they said Donald Trump was doing.

He made a list. He made a list. He's targeting his enemies. What is this? What is this? So if it was wrong for Donald Trump to do it, which I don't believe he did, but if he was doing it, let's just give that to you. So it's okay now that you did it?

It's okay. You had such a problem. It's a sign of fascism when he did it, but it's perfectly fine. if you decide to now do it, there's no logic in that one. That one really doesn't make sense. Back in a minute. Let me tell you about a Z factor.

The Olympics, because we were fighting the evil empire of the Soviet Union, the Olympics meant something, you know. And now it just seems like every country is kind of fighting itself. But in the last two days, right here at the end, the Olympics, you're kind of being like they used to be, you know. Let me tell you the story of a father. 1989. The wall was still up. Most Americans living ordinary lives. But there was a kid that was living in China and he was organizing pro-democracy protests, hunger strikes, demonstrations. He believed in freedom of speech, rule of law, representative government, okay? Then came Tiananmen Square and he watched as tanks rolled in and the People's Liberation Army just, open fire on its own people, students, kids. He was outraged and not quietly upset. He was outraged.

And he began to organize again in China. He found out that he was on the most wanted list of China, not a list you want to find yourself on. He was picked up by the Chinese police several times, interrogated several times. He was pressured to give up names, told to cooperate. He wouldn't do it. He said, look, I'm a patriot Chinese, but I don't believe in any of this.

He took full responsibility. He knew what this meant. He knew prison was inevitable. He was released the last time, and he knew it's going to happen soon. One night, knock on his door, somebody who is nameless, but knew him and knew and believed in the same things he did, took him to a harbor. He said, come with me. It's the dead of night. There's a small boat, but it's fast.

Faster than the patrol vessels that were out. That's what he was told. Don't worry, this is really, really fast. They tore across the open water, okay? Pitch black, skimming the ocean. His muscles restrained as he was just trying to hold on. They were moving so fast and slapping down on the waves. If they were caught, it meant prison and labor camp, maybe even death,

for the guy with a boat and him. two hours of this on the water. He begins to see lights. Thousands of lights. Hong Kong. He stepped into what he called the land of freedom. Remember, England still had Hong Kong at that time. This guy's name is Arthur Liu.

He gets to Hong Kong and then he comes to the United States, where he builds a whole new life. He earns a law degree. He raises five children. as a single father. He didn't come here for comfort. He came here because he believed this country stood for something real. He had seen the other side and what they stood for.

And then he had the opportunity to live here, land of the free. Now, fast forward. Time goes by. His daughter, Elisa Liu, stood on the Olympic ice yesterday representing the United States of America. This was a hard road to get here. First of all, her dad. Then she starts to skate when she's young.

She's very, very good. But she gives up in 2022. She said she just needs to get away from it all. Clear her head. I mean, that's a death sentence to a skater. She's 16 years old and she's like, I got to just take a break. Okay. Something that most people don't know in 2022, according to the U.S.

Justice Department, operatives from China connected to the Chinese Communist Party were targeting dissidents inside the United States. We know this is true. I mean, hell, the New York Times even reported on this. And Arthur Liu is listed in court documents as dissident number three. His daughter, the skater, family member of dissident number three. They were coming after him. Okay.

She gets back on the ice. Now, before she skates in Beijing, somebody posing as an Olympic official calls her asking for copies of their passports. This was surveillance, intimidation. Even here, even here, even now. The regime he fled never, ever forgot. And yet, here she was, his daughter, wearing red, white, and blue on the ice yesterday,

competing not under the banner of fear, but competing free. and yesterday she won the gold. What a victory. Let's understand what that means. A man who was hunted by authoritarian regime watches his daughter stand atop the podium

of a free republic and singing the national anthem of her country, America. The system that tried to silence him that produced nothing but fear, who came after him even in our own country, the system that welcomed him, produced an Olympic champion, the system that tried to stop him and oppress him lost.

This is not a sports story. This is a generational story of victory. It is proof that ideas matter. Arthur Liu risk prison for freedom and democracy, for the right to be able to speak out, say what you believe. His daughter, now that's what she knows, she thrives because of it. He escapes in a boat in the dark of night. She skates under the brightest lights on earth this week.

It felt good to cheer for somebody who wasn't also asking for an apology for their country. I haven't felt that in a long time. when I was a kid, the evil empire still existed. We were competing against people that we knew were cheating and cheating in ways, not like Canada was cheating, whatever. They were taking children from their parents early on, focusing everything the state had on that, doing whatever they had to win,

and we would beat them. that's why the hockey in, you know, the miracle on the ice was so important. That was impossible to do. Because here we were just individuals. There it was the entire state. And now she stands in the bright lights. And we were given the opportunity to see what she stood against tanks rolling down the streets, the killing of dissidents. And we were also reminded of what she stood for somehow or another we have forgotten how to tell these stories about ourselves we've forgotten that these stories even exist well here's a great one a dissident becomes an American that American raises an American champion a champion stands on the ice

and because of all of that, the flag behind her means something again. Not because America is perfect. But we are still the place where a hunted man, somebody who has been told, sit down, shut up, will cage you if you don't, can come here with that in his background and watch his daughter win the gold. That is not naive patriotism.

had his earned pride. More in a minute. Let me tell you how pain usually works. It doesn't arrive with any kind of dramatic entrance. It doesn't knock you over all at once. It starts small. You get a little stiffness in the morning, you know, tightness in your back after sitting too long knee that complains more than it used to.

And before you know it, you've adjusted your life around all of those things. You park closer, you take the stairs more carefully. You stop doing certain things, you know, not because you want to, but because it's just not worth the aching afterwards. That's not living your life fully. Relief factor was developed by doctors to support your body's natural response to inflammation, which means you can change your life by getting to the root of that daily discomfort. Inflammation is about addressing the problems at the source, not masking them.

I'm one of them so you don't have to rearrange your schedule or your life around pain. You know, if you're dealing with daily pain, would you just try this? Launch your three-week quick start right now. Just try it for three weeks. If it's not working for you in three weeks, it's not going to stop taking it.

The Supreme Court has just ruled a very narrow decision, but it's significant. The Supreme Court has struck down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president. That is, according to NBC News. The decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs, but invalidates those implemented using an emergency law.

law. The justices divided six three held that Trump's aggressive approach to tariffs on products entering the United States from across the world was not permitted under the 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The ruling was authored by Chief Justice John Roberts. What a surprise. Who is joined by three liberal justices and two fellow conservatives, Gorsuch and Barrett. President asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs on unlimited amount, duration, and scope, Roberts wrote, but the Trump administration points to no statute in which Congress has previously said that the language in the IEPA could apply to tariffs. As such, we hold that IEPA does not authorize

the president to impose tariffs. Justice is Clarence Thomas, Brent Kavanaugh, and Samuel Alito dissented. It's a rare setback for the administration, which has a 6-3 conservative majority. The decision does not affect all of Trump tariffs, leaving in place the ones he imposed on steel, aluminum, using different laws, for example, but upends his tariffs in two categories. One is country by country or reciprocal tariffs. That is insanity, which range from 34 to China to a 10% baseline for the rest of the world. The other is a 25% tariff. Trump has imposed on goods from Canada, China, and Mexico for what the administration said was the failure to curb the flow of fentanyl. Trump could seek to reimpose the tariffs using other laws. As of the middle of December, IEPA tariffs have

raised $130 billion. Trump has touted much higher numbers, up to $3 trillion, taking into account trade deals his administration has negotiated. This is going to be a problem. Prices on imported stuff may go down, might. Markets are dipping due to the uncertainty. Where is the market? The market is still actually in the green as of right now. It had dipped, but it went back up into the green.

We don't know what this is going to mean. This is a very big one. The government might owe now $100 to $175 billion in refunds for duties already paid since the tariffs started, but it's not automatic. So I don't know what is going to happen here. The president has said he was not concerned. He was very concerned at the beginning and said this cannot stand, but then later has said he has said he has. is not that concerned because he has other laws and other powers at his disposal that he will use. So let's see how long this lasts.

I would imagine he's going to speak on this pretty quickly or at least get a response from the White House pretty quickly. Ricky, do you have something? We did put in an ask to Secretary Bessent to come on and explain the implications of this. I'm sure the administration is going to signal. that this is nothing to worry about and announce future steps to essentially resetting the system and making it fair again. We'll see. I would imagine we will have much more on this by Monday's broadcast because I don't think this is going to sit. And then remember, next Tuesday is the state of the union. He is expected to not only tout all of the things that he has done, this is going to be a major part of the state.

speech. I can guarantee you the speechwriters are rewriting right now, but this would be a big part of the speech. Also, it's my understanding that he is going to call for the passing of the Save America Act. Hopefully, many of us are encouraging him, please, Mr. President, say it must be done, and the standing filibuster, the talking standing filibuster must be enacted. And by the way, anybody who says that that is a change in the system, it's changing the filibuster, does not know what they're talking about, or they're just part of the same kind of Mitch McConnell crap that has been going on for a long time, where they just sell all of this information to any member of the media that will buy into it, that either is a progressive Republican like a Mitch McConnell. and they will lie to you, cheat, steal, whatever, just so it doesn't happen. But that is an out-and-out lie. It is not changing the filibuster.

You know who changed it was Woodrow Wilson. He's the one that introduced cloture at the time, which I know you don't know. I know, but I just barely know it because I just, I plug my ears and go, la, la, la, anytime anybody starts talking about cloture. for the love a peak in a life. But that is a Woodrow Wilson thing. And it means that you need 60 votes. They can just sit and write an email,

I want a filibuster because this is wrong. And then somebody needs to say, yeah, I vote for cloture. And then you need 60 votes. Well, no, you want a filibuster? Stand up. Stand up, Senator. Have the Cahonis to stand up and make your case. And Republicans have the spine, have just the will.

Honestly, it's not even having a spine. Do you have the will to save the republic? Do you have the will and God forbid the energy to show up in the middle of the night? So you let them speak. Let them be on the record saying all kinds of stuff that the American people are not for. Let them make that case. do not surrender, and I hope the president in his state of the union makes that case very, very clear. When it comes to the Trump tariffs, this is a bad one striking down Trump's tariffs,

but I am not concerned, as the president has told me on several occasions, he has other ways, and he will be moving in that direction the minute the court decided. We'll see what that means. More in just a second, including your phone calls. Next. First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. Let me tell you a little secret about real estate.

Get to the front of the line and join our community now at Glenbeck.com slash Torch. I saw this amazing video, I think it was on Instagram. last week of a guy who set up these like pay phones one in San Francisco and one in Abilene, Texas. And the one in San Francisco said, talk to a Republican. The one in Abilene said talk to a Democrat.

And if you picked up the phone, it would ring in the other city. And then people would pick up. Let me show you what happened. It's an amazing experiment. Let me play a little clip of what I saw. We bought this payphone on Facebook Marketplace and then modified it a bunch. And then changed the signage to say, call a Republican. And then we brought the payphone to San Francisco, California, which is the most liberal city in America.

And then we installed the payphone outside of black serum tattoo, of course, with their permission. And after we installed the phone, we then got on a flight to Texas, where we bought another payphone in Dallas, and drove it two hours west to Abilene, the most conservative city in America. And then at an Airbnb, we modified it a bunch and had it, say, call a Democrat. And then we installed this payphone outside of seven and one books, of course, with their permission. And when you pick up this phone in Texas, it automatically calls the other phone in San Francisco. And when you pick up the phone in San Francisco, it automatically calls this one in Texas. The project is called the party line, and the goal is to get people from different political viewpoints to have meaningful, not hateful conversations.

Because at a biological level, humans are far more similar than we are different. And while political discourse often causes stress, human-to-human-friendly conversations reduce the stress in our brains, and activate the neurotransmitters, dopamine, and cannabinoids, which make us happier. So the guy who did it is actual Bouchon, and he's a neuroscientist. He's not some political guy. He's a neuroscientist, and he is the CEO and founder of Matter neuroscience. And his experiment was, what happens to our brains when we're given the opportunity to find connection over animosity? Axel, what a great experiment.

Thanks for being on the program with me. Well, thanks for having me, Glenn. Yeah, I mean, we try to really translate neuroscience into something you can feel. That's kind of almost like what we do actually since a very long time, to be honest. What did you find? Because I've seen some of the conversations, and they're amazing. I didn't expect it. Amazing.

Yeah. Maybe I just take one step back to quickly explain what we are, because we're actually a hardcore neuroscience biotech company. And we started because today, we don't really understand why people get depressed on a molecular level. So the company, our company tries to find a biomarker for happiness and depression. What we did successfully like last year, so our medical program, what is one of our major activities is in Stanford with patients.

But then we realized that people who were in our studies actually became happier by just doing the study. And that led us to creating our emotional fitness club. What is literally like a gym where you train the muscles of your brain, what is kind of your emotions. And the experiment that you have seen is just a stunt of the fitness club, basically, the emotional fitness club. So tell me, wait, wait, then tell me about the fitness club here before we go any further. What do you do in the fitness club? Like, and I mean, take the example of the phone, we have seen in the experiment, in the studies that cortisol, what is the underlying molecule for all our negative emotions,

can be overtaken and replaced if you give very strong signals of belonging, like oxytocin for family love or cannabinoids for just friendship. And this works extremely well when you talk to people, preferably in person, but already when you just talk to them, we as a human species, we realize how emotions are kind of sounded, and then we feel better if we are not immediately attacked. And that was the experiment. We felt like, hey, there's so much negative connotation in the media that is not like really human-to-human interaction that we wanted to reproduce the data we have seen in our study

that when you calmly talk to someone, you are actually developing an interesting conversation because we're humans. And that was literally, I mean, to me, huge surprise, very nicely reproduced. So we had like 250 conversations and over 300 voice messages.

And we have not listened to all of them, but I think over 200, we have not found a single negative, aggressive conversation. Unbelievable. Okay. So, is this part of, you know, when you say

just by talking, you start to feel better, is this part of the problem with social media? We're not talking to each other. We're always talking to each other via text. So there's no human to human or much less human to human contact. And that's why maybe we're starting to see suicide rates and everything else. I think the connection to suicide rate is

most probably a longer conversation where we need an hour together. But I think that the key thing, the key thing is indeed what you said, right? if I can write something, I can be aggressive because I don't see the reaction, right? And then if you just even look at the, what is shown in classical news channels is always like the peak of an aggression, right,

the escalation. So we are selectively getting exposed to triggers for negativity. What in our brain is triggering cortisol at is max. And cortisol is like literally, shutting down all the molecules then make us feel good. It's like the ultimate stop signal for feeling good. And a normal conversation actually restarts these. Can you help me out on that?

Because cortisol also is the one that when you got to go, you know, when you've got to get up and go in the morning, your cortisol level is very high. I mean, I've never heard it put in such a negative term before. Give me the pro and the con on cortisol. And you, good spot. The point is we have cortisol activities in the body and literally as a neurotransmitter modulator in our brain.

And in the brain, it has a very negative influence on our mood. So indeed, our body gets up and needs it to get active. But that is only a peak in the beginning of the morning. But when we are chronically exposed to cortisol, we get literally molecularly blocked to experience good emotion. And that was a little bit the experiment that we wanted to prove that even if you know, just imagine you know you will call a Republican, you know you will call a Democrat that actually maybe in the day before you were like, eat these guys, right? But then just when you start talking about the weather, when you talk about any sandwiches, when you talk, I mean, this was the final thing. Like food was an interesting topic. Hey, what are you doing?

And that was, I think, was really great. I almost feels like we should have them in much more cities. Everywhere. I know I would like, I'd like to see you do one to Canada, Americans to Canada, Canada, Canada, to America. Because it's, I mean, we just, you know, I know, I know if we just talk, we're going to get past all of this crap. That was a surprising thing to me on this when I was listening to the conversations that were coming back was they were not what I expected because it is talked to a Democrat, talk to a Republican.

So you would think somebody's going to pick up that phone and go, I got to give you a piece of my mind. Instead, it was, so what's it like there? What's happening around you? And it was very normal. Weird. Weird or I think normal, right? So I also have to say, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, normal. Normal. Normal is weird now. I don't know if you know that has left. Everything is upside down.

But you see, for me, the scientist who only looks at molecules and cells, I cannot see any differences anyways between the political directions. So for me, we are all the same, right? So the key thing for me was actually to kind of just like help us feel that we have really a very, very strong similarity. Interestingly, even when the conversation Jason moved towards political topics, it was interesting to observe that nobody was kind of subscribing 100% to everything of their respective party. It was always like, hey, I don't like this particular part, but I like the other thing. And so it was interesting that actually almost Central America, right? So I'm in Germany, right?

There was like a very strong center party where we had it. So in a way, it feels like in the middle, most probably even 90% in the middle, most probably agree on a lot of things. I'm not saying everything, but it sounded like almost everything. I know. I know. Was there a conversation that you did here that really struck you? as unique or important?

So actually several because it was just like everybody just wanted to be okay. So it was just topics to where you are okay. It was about food. It was about how is the weather. It was about how what do you do today? How is the family? So like literally the foundation of being just okay. And that when you hear it over and over again, that was I think the remarkable thing that across, I would almost say 90% of the conversations, that was the joint false. Like, just be OK. And so I couldn't kind of pick one that is an outlier on this.

But I think it was interesting for us is that we received, and that's so confirming, that we received, I think, one email with negative writing. So all voice messages, everything with voice was OK. Writing was negative. We got only one negative. Interesting. Interesting.

I hear this from so many people on both sides of the aisle. When you go out into the real world, not Washington, not the media escape, you're actually out in the real world. And you hear this from people, they're just tired of all of this. They just, can we just, can we just go back to being normal people again? And it's good to see that that's not. not just something that, you know, you kind of feel it.

It's actually you're proving it to be real. Is there anything? Yeah. You know, go ahead. Just add one thing because I lived in the U.S., worked in the U.S., and moved a lot around the world now and just living in Germany at the moment.

But for me, as an outsider, just like to send that message to the U.S. that you were basically the foundation, for instance, for my life, I would not be standing here without you guys. So what unites you is so strong and so unique that I'm running a US company. So therefore, when I see it, it's like just so bad. It's just not necessary, right? So it just feels, if you would all kind of just like come together

and think about your absolute uniqueness and kind of building the craziest stuff and even achieve it, that is kind of just like what unites everything to me. And I say that as a, I think, Axel, we used to, a little bit outside. We used to believe that about ourselves. And there's just this movement.

I don't know how big it is, but there is this movement and it is taken a real hold in social media, et cetera, that America should be ashamed of itself, that it's not unique in the world, that it's, you know, it's a failure. where a lot of Americans look at this and go, yeah, you know, we do suck on a lot of things. Like every country sucks on things.

We have had bad moments in our history, et cetera, et cetera. Every country has had that. But there is something unique here. And that is the, that was the unum that used to hold us together in e pluribus unum. It was these rights that we all had. And, you know, I'll defend with my life your right to say something that I disagree. agree with, but you have a right to say it. And that's what made us unique. Yeah. It is. It is. It is the uniqueness. Yeah. Yeah. Let's just get back there. That's the whole thing.

I mean, if we join, if we join the forces, we will get there back there. I can just say that. I just remember myself as a little boy standing there, Germany, right, was still like, and getting the feelings from the US GIs was amazing. I can just say that. It's like it was unique. It's like, it was unique. It's a unique set of jeans, I would even say. Axel, I cry easily, so this is not a big hurdle to cross here. But that, I mean, that means so much to me. And I think a lot of Americans hearing that. Thank you for saying that.

I thank you guys. Are the phone booths going elsewhere? It's interesting how we wanted to do it 30 days. and how there's interest to just leave it open and just let it go. So we're just discussing with both. We had some ideas from the users whether we should do

phone booth is in an elderly home and in a college so that the old and young may just talk to each other what I think is another interesting idea. And we're just like looking, sorting out whether it's possible. Your company, you can find it. The website is matter. dot XYZ matter.xy Z matter.xy Z.

I'd like to have you on again to talk about what you guys do on your, your mental gym, if you will. It's matter neuroscience. Find it at matter.xyz. Axel, thank you very much. God bless. I thank you. Thanks so much. Have a good day. You bet. You bet. All right. Does that make you feel good? Man, that makes me feel good. All right. But don't worry. We'll talk about war here.

of moments and, you know, while we're here feeling good about the country, it wasn't, you know, yesterday,

when we saw something with the hockey team, It wasn't that we felt good because we were defeating, you know, the Soviet Empire. It was Canada. But when that flag went up and everyone was singing, I want to play a little bit of this, it was as if we were just admitting, you know, America still is a pretty good place.

Listen to this. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenback program. It is Friday. We have a lot to talk about the SAVE Act. The tariffs have been overturned by the Supreme Court today. We'll give you the dissent on that one and what it all means. We're not really sure what it means yet, as it just happened about an hour ago, but we'll give you what we do know.

Also, I want to talk to you a little bit about Iran because a strike is definitely coming. And I also have some information on Epstein. Let's see, Epstein, a lot on Epstein. Also, Anna Paulina, Luna is going to be joining us here. She can comment on that. She can also comment. on war. So we have that.

the week with a story about George Washington. We'll start there in 60 seconds. Stand by first. Patriot Mobile, let me give you a simple question. Why is it that, you know, we'll research a toaster for three weeks. But we will stay with the same cell phone company for 20 years without ever asking what they actually do with our money. We check reviews, we compare features, we argue about brands, but when it comes to something that we pay every single month, most of us just go, I don't know, it's right, you know, it works. That's, you know, no big deal.

All right, it's not hard now to make your call connect and for everybody on the other end to hear, okay? The fiber has all been laid. It's all really, really good.

And you're also probably going to save money.

But they take some of their profits and they plow it back into the country. They honor the sacrifice of our soldiers. They honor the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Yeah, it's a great new podcast from Patrick David and his crew. But I told the story of George Washington because he asked me, he said, out of all the things that you have in your museum and that you have collected that is American history, what would be the one thing that if there was a fire and you could get out of the house with only one thing, what would that piece of history be? And I narrowed it down to a couple of things, but two of them were something that belonged to George Washington. His compass, he was a surveyor, and he got a compass when he was 13 years old, and he was using it the day before he died, surveying Mount Vernon, and saying, this is we're going to plant some new trees, this we're going to do things. And that it was because he was out surveying his land out in the cold and the snow and the rain that he got so sick and died.

the other are his glasses. And you've never seen a painting of George Washington with his glasses because he didn't like anybody to see that he was that he had to wear glasses. The guy was, he was six three, I think. The average person was five five to five six. So he was almost a foot taller than anybody else. I mean, he looked like Baron Trump in a sea of people today. just this giant of a man. And being that big, you would think he would be a big target.

And then knowing that he was the general, if he was on the front lines, that big, that easy to spot, he should have been killed. He had six white stallions shot out from underneath him in the wars because he would go right up to the front line on his horse. And people talked about how they had him dead to rights. They had him in their sights. and they pulled the trigger and somehow or another it missed him. And he would come off the battlefields. The Smithsonian and our National Archives have some of these things. They have his hat with bullet holes in his hat,

but he was untouched. They have his jacket. He would come off the field and there would be a jacket that had a hole right through the jacket, but it never touched him. So this led to this myth of this guy, being invincible, this giant that's just never going to die. He didn't like that, but he also did like the fact that people didn't look at him as like an old man. So at the end of the war, our Congress was about as, you know, about as loyal to honor and integrity as our Congress is now.

And they had promised all of these soldiers that they were going to get paid at the end of the war. Well, we couldn't afford to pay them. So we lied. You know, basically what we did after World War I, too. We did the same thing. Congress said, ah, we can't pay you. And so they didn't pay any. And it was horrible, horrible.

But these soldiers, they had just beaten the most powerful army and navy on the planet. Everyone was afraid of the British because they were the most powerful. And a bunch of farmers just beat them. And so these farmers were angry and they were like, What can't we do? What can't we do? We just did this. And these guys are so dishonorable. And we've been fighting for honor and integrity and the freedom to the people. And these guys have to answer to the people. And now they're not paying us when they swore they would. That's dishonorable. They're not answering the people. So they'll answer to us. And they were going to go kill Congress. Well, Washington found out about it. And he wrote into Congress in Philadelphia. He talks to the Congress. Like, guys, you've got to pay the men. nobody's going to do it. They had every kind of excuse they possibly could come up with. And one guy, before he left, one guy said, General Washington,

I will continue the fight here in Philadelphia. And he said, would you write that down for me? And so they wrote it down on a piece of paper and he put it in his pocket. And he rides back. Now the men are all gone. And he knows nothing good is going to come of this. he finds them they're all together and they're discussing

exactly what he knew they were discussing and he walks in and the room is loud and boisterous and he walks in and it quiets down a bit and he said gentlemen I know what you're planning and you cannot do this

you cannot do this we did not defeat one tyrant just to replace him with another tyrant this can't be done. And they, you know, scream and yell how dishonorable the Congress is, et cetera, et cetera. And Washington doesn't disagree. He just doesn't think, you know, we should go kill the members of Congress.

That's wrong, obviously. And one of them says, so what, well, you were just there. What did you bring us? You got a deal? Washington knows he has nothing except in his pocket a letter that says, I'll continue the fight for you. from one guy. He says, actually, I do have something, and he reached into his pocket,

and he pulls out the piece of paper, and now he realizes, I can't read it because I don't have my glasses. And he turns to his aide to camp, and they hand him his glasses, and he puts him on. And as he's putting his glasses on, the room falls deathly quiet.

Without even looking up, He knows what's happened. He's put on glasses, which makes him human and old. And the magic spell kind of that, you know, was part of this mystique of Washington had been broken. And he knew it. He knew the men were looking at him differently now as a frail old man. And he said, I am sorry. but my eyes have grown weak and weary in the service of my country.

Everybody is tears rolling down their cheeks. He has tears in his eyes. He can't speak. He takes his glasses off. He folds them up. He puts them back in the case. He takes the letter that he had from Congress unread, folds it back up, puts it in his pocket, turns around and walks out,

and there is no second revolution. That is the power of integrity. That is the power of this one man. Earlier this week, I played a song about the death of Abraham Lincoln. We're doing what are called torch tunes, and it's going to be something that I'm doing, so your family will be able to hear stories like that, maybe visit our museum, see these things,

and then take a piece of it with you home, because I want to try to hit the American people, especially our youth, in as many different ways as possible. So you feel it in any possible way, and music speaks to the soul. So this is that story set to music, an ode to Johnny Horton, set to music, a torch tune that will be available soon. Listen.

There's a wind on the Hudson, cold as a prayer. Whispers through the timbers of a war-torn ye. Empty pockets, boots full of doubt. Dreamed a marching on a country they'd just carved out. And he walked in quiet like a father through the storm with a backgrown tired and a heart well worn. No sword on his hip, just the weight of the dawn. You could feel the whole republic holding on.

And he paused in the silence, reaching deep inside, a lie to its knees and staring at and took another breath instead of turning on itself. Yeah, sometimes God saves a people with the genie A list of hands, just a worn pair of lenses, and a tired, faithful man. But at Gettysburg, where the ground still bleeds, where the shadows of the story lean against the trees.

And I swear I heard the footsteps of all the ones we've lost, walking me straight back to the trees, straight back to that moment on the Hudson's Frost. Because every generation faces its new bird, every heart between anger and what's right. And between a tyrant and a servant king, dust by the smallest things. So I carry that memory like a lantern flame

is where the miracle it's saved by her's hearts. God saves a nation with a general list of hands. Just a worn pair of lenses. Simple truth and whisper. Every time I'm afraid, them isn't one. It's a choice we made. When he lifted those glasses,

the tears filled the room. The second revolution faded like a wind, Fated like a wind-blown plume. In your service, and he said, step back from the edge. Times heaven moves and ways. We barely understand. Just a warm pair of eyes of that man. Happy birthday, George Washington.

Third time Glenn's cried today. You don't need to keep count. Anyway, Jason, welcome to the program. I've got about three minutes before we have to go to Anna Polina Luna. And I'm going to talk to her a little bit about war, but we have a massive armada in the Middle East now with everything pointed right towards Iran. You do not pull back from this line, do you? Have we ever? Well, we did in 2003, and the last time this happened at this scale with this amount of hardware moving towards the Middle East was the invasion in 2003.

So history would show no. History would also show that every time you blatantly defy, especially Donald Trump, you're probably going to see some kind of response. And as according to the foreign minister of Iran this morning, they said they're preparing a nuclear agreement amendment that they based off their other talks. They're supposed to have that to the Trump administration in two or three days, but it's framed as a nuclear deal. And there are much more things within our demands than just the nuclear deal. Those red lines that both countries have, specifically long-range missiles and proxy force

support that the Trump administration wants a part of this, the Iranians do not. So unless that's delivered in two days, I don't see there being any kind of agreement happening. This is going to be a tense, tense state of the union next week. Because there's already people saying you don't have the War Powers Act. This one is clear. You've got to go to Congress for an act of war. You've got the tariffs that were overturned. Today, you have the government shutdown by the Democrats.

You also have the Save America Act. I mean, this is a big state of the union next week. We'll watch this carefully more on this coming up in just a minute. And Anna Polina Luna joins us.

Welcome to the Glennbeck program. You know, as I'm watching everything that's unfolding with the Epstein files, I just don't understand why people are. are being investigated and actually seemingly going to jail for the first time in 400 years a royal has been arrested in Prince Andrew. He's not even, he's Andrew now. And he is going to jail, but not for anything that he might have done with Epstein except trade secrets. That's the thing that got him into trouble was he was passing on English secrets to Epstein, which is a whole other ball game entirely.

But I don't understand how we can say that he was trafficking, you know, women underage. And yet there's no John's going to jail. There's no, we don't have any, who is he trafficking him to? Why don't we have any of this information? There was a tweet that was sent out by Representative Anna Polina Luna and she said, Susan Hamlin sent this email. She took a plea deal and was given victim status under previous DOJ. DOJ should look into charges.

Possible human rights violations were committed. I say that based on other files with her name on it, these women don't get to hide behind redactions. There are so many victims, none of which did what this woman did. This needs to be reopened. And she gives an email. It just says,

thank you for a fun night. Your littlest girl was a little naughty. And she wrote it to Jeffrey Epstein. Now, Anna is with us now to, explain what you might know or why you would say that because she somebody the the son actually made charges against her and they had to apologize and I think they paid a pretty big price for it because they liable liable her or so she apparently proved in court what do you know Anna who is this woman I don't want to get into anything that's liable but what do you know why would you say

this. I know that many, and this is based on what I've gone through in some of the files. I've spent about maybe six, seven hours with the files directly and plan on going back in to see more. But from what I've gathered and from what I've reviewed, after looking at an FBI co-conspirator document, she was actually allegedly named as a co-conspirator by the FBI. ultimately that was during Epstein's second run-in with law enforcement in New York. And it wasn't just her. It was a list of many other women as well, one of which was Gleine Maxwell. Yet Gilleen Maxwell is the only one sitting in prison.

And I think, you know, when we're talking about the crimes that were committed by Jeffrey Epstein, he didn't just do it alone. And plenty of the victims that were trafficked didn't turn around and do some of the other things that some of these women who were elicited as. co-conspirators did. And so I think that it's very interesting because you're seeing a lot of these emails come out. A lot of these emails specifically are some of the more egregious ones, whether it was, you know, the implications of one that was written also too. There's a number of other emails where this woman continues to pop up. There's also one where it's mocking a little girl talking about

how she's protected by Jesus. That was also sent by a woman who is listed as a potential co-conspirator. and then a number of other emails that get into weird code talk. I mean, you name it. It's there. But from what I've been observing, it appears that these women, whether or not they were, you know, trying to maybe replace clean Maxwell, whatever it might have been, they did engage in what I would say is trafficking of, you know, 10, 11-year-olds, minors for sure. And it's not okay because what ends up happening is, you know, the American people want names, they want justice to. be clear, these charges really did start under Bush administration 1.0, and it does seem that there was

a lapse of justice for the victims that were not engaged in these horrible acts against other young women, but also, too, in addition that you have this question of, okay, well, what was, what were they, why were they given these plea deals if they're listed in an FBI document as co-conspirators? And I understand that some of these charges might be, now outside of the statute of limitation, but I do think that the DOJ should re-examine these plead deals because although it wasn't this current administration's DOJ that did this, it definitely is now something that I think the American people feel that there needs to be justice for. And then obviously, too, you have this aspect of, you know, I see a lot of people

saying, okay, well, or they're assuming that some of these emails were written by men, but the fact is, is that from what I have seen, a lot of them are written by women. And it's just, it's It's shocking. Shocking. How many women? It's, you know, I think people historically maybe think, and it's just in our nature to think that women might not commit, you know, evil acts. But as you're seeing, with this specifically, one email sticks out to me, you know, point blank in that I read they were basically trying to locate a young girl's birth certificate in Russia. and they were bringing her to the United States, I assume, on email traffic.

And in the same email thread, it also talks about a Pornhub introduction. And so the fact is that Jeffrey Epstein did have these girls, you know, from what I've gathered, his preference was younger, very young girls. But, you know, what he was doing is he was definitely bringing the ones that looked legal and likely weren't around people who were in positions of influence and or politics. etc. I think, you know, in Prince Andrew's case, I think that he has a lot of explaining to do. And I do think also some people were aware of what he was doing, but then I also think that there were some people that he kind of brought into his orbit, potentially with the intention of

compromising them and then exploiting, exploiting that compromise material. I mean, I saw the, I saw a video of Donald Trump in 2015 saying, you want to know who, you know, Prince Andrew is, we'll look up his relationship with Epstein. I mean, that's 2015. Oh, yeah. And he said at the time, everybody knows it, which I, you know, I think is true. I think all of these people that run in these circles, they knew, they knew. So why are we not, what happened to the names?

Why is this not going anywhere? Why are we not seeing a bunch of people being charged with anything? Well, it's multifaceted, right? So when we had our initial hearing with some of these victims and the attorneys, and to be clear, not all of these victims engaged in co-conspirator behavior, nor did all of these victims engage in trafficking younger girls, okay? This was a select group of women that even after, let's say, they were initially one of Epstein's victims, now when they became adults, they then started getting paid, they liked the lifestyle.

There are some emails talking about, you know, 10 and 11-year-olds. If I go through all the stuff, it would probably make you guys sick even just hearing this radio interview. But the point is, is that, you know, when you're looking at, well, where are the names, right? Like, we were promised by the victims that they would give us a list of names to be able to investigate. And at the same time, there's this massive lawsuit with Deutsche Bank. And so what the attorney said to us when we were actually in the meeting with the speaker, members of oversight, the victims, and the attorney is that, from what I'd gathered, they were getting phone calls from people that were potentially exposed and or looking to settle.

And when you settle, you know, a lawsuit, and I'm not saying that these victims don't have right to financial damages because of the fact that, you know, they were exploited. But then, from what I gather, there's also an NDA that goes with that. So I don't necessarily know that we will ever get the names from the true victims that were trafficked, but that's why I say I have a deep invested interest in at least urging and advising the DOJ to look at these plea deals because I do believe the women that were given some of these plea deals may have committed other acts. Again, I will reference that email where they were trafficking a young girl in from Russia.

And then there's that Pornhub introduction kind of correspondence. But for that to be said, you know, there's other things that they can hit them with, human rights violations, et cetera, that don't operate with the same statutes of limitations. And so that's kind of where we're at right now. I think that that's the only way that you're really going to be able to figure out, okay, well, who knew what, who is doing what? And I would say that the co-conspirators should not have been let off and they should have not have had their sentences dropped.

And I find it deeply disturbing that of the entire list of co-conspirators that we all had access to and we all saw, they're all women. But guess what, the only one sitting in jail is Galeen Maxwell. I know. I've got so many things to talk to you. only about three or four minutes left. I would love to have you back and talk about the UFOs that we now have more information on, which is just getting bizarre.

But we found out the Supreme Court today said that most of the Trump tariffs are, they're overturning them, and he can't do that. What are your thoughts on that? I think Trump's reciprocal tariffs have been the reason why we've had a surplus. And you guys remember during the first shutdown this year, we were able, or President Trump was able to offset Democrats cutting all funding for the WIC program known as women and children given to lower income in American citizens by using the balance and the surplus that he had from the reciprocal tariffs and then also the benefits for military of the 1776 check. But it's really, really stupid economics for people to think that that wasn't helping the American people because it gave us a massive negotiating tool, with dropping the cost of product, you're actually seeing it now impact the supermarkets across the country.

And so I think, you know, some of my colleagues are controlled by their donors, and some of the donors even were trying to call me getting me to work against the president, and I would not do it. I said, you don't understand that this is actually also part of the trade negotiations, and it's going to work out, and it did. And so you're going to see why people elected Trump is they didn't want any more of the D.C. policy as normal. And unfortunately, in this instance, they got it. I had lots of people call me and say,

can you talk to the president? This is, you know, and I'm like, no, that's not my job. I'm not going to talk to the president about it. That's your job. You take care of that.

And I happen, I happen to believe he was working on something far bigger than anybody else, could even understand. Yeah, and these people are worried about, you know, how it's affecting their business in the short term, not looking at the long term,

how much it was actually going to impact them for the better. And unfortunately, a lot of people are very coupled with China, and they will only want to do their trade with China, and that's part of the problem as well. And we can probably do a whole other 10 segments on China alone. But the whole issue that we have now is that we have a slim majority,

and a lot of these frontline members are thinking that this will hit them in the midterms. But as you're seeing, it's actually benefiting our country. And, you know, you're going to see this thing with the favorite nation pricing, especially there is a group of conservative organizations, which I was surprised at saying that President Trump was basically embracing socialist policy.

or something along those lines. And that's completely not true. And such a terrible perspective to take because, you know, these same groups and same politicians are also owned by pharmaceutical. And so, yeah, we have uphill battle. But, like, you have to get in the fight and you can't just, you know, it's one step back, but we'll take two set forward. Okay.

I've got 90 seconds left. Tell me what, are we going to war? I have not heard murmur of that. I also know, though, that President Trump wants their significant. be a negotiation with the government of Iran. And so I think that they should listen. And I think that they take President Trump very seriously. So I'm hoping that we do not, but also I'm not a part of those discussions in the situation room. So I don't want to speculate. But I'm hoping that we don't. I'm thinking that we don't. Does he believe so might. Do you believe he needs an act of war

from Congress for something like this? I ran on a few occasions threatened to, to assassinate the president. And to my understanding, there were some interesting things that may have happened leading up to his election, et cetera. I think that in itself gives him, unilateral authority.

However, I am always going to err on the set of caution, especially when it comes to foreign conflict and caution against intervention wherever I can. However, in this instance, I do not know that we will get to that point because, again, negotiating, negotiating tactics. Yeah. Anna Paulina Luna.

Jason is joining us.

He does the Torch Insider show during this show. When I go into commercials, he picks it up. and gives additional information. I just don't have time to put in the show. Jason, I'm seeing a recurring theme from, because we started the show talking about, you know, aliens. And I'm seeing a recurring comment. Are aliens demons?

People think that maybe aliens are demons. Did you get into that at all? Or did you pick up on that comment? So, yes, I did see that comment a little bit, but there's actually some backing for that. because you actually did a podcast. I can't remember. Maybe Rockstar Ricky remembers.

I can't remember the name of the guy. It was one of the first disclosures. Timothy Alborino? I don't think it was him. It was the original guy. Rick Burgess. That wasn't him, man. We've had a lot of these.

Okay, I'll shut up. From the 2017 disclosures, I can't remember his name. But he talked about, he had inside access, and he said that one of the high-level discussions they were having behind the scenes, the top scientific minds, said exactly that, the potential that it could be demons. They don't know,

but they actually analyzed it, so it is out there. We have to find that. We have to find that. Let's find that this weekend. And let's find him. I'd love to do that and have him on as a guest to talk about that. Because I found that an interesting comment from the insiders that maybe these aliens are demons. Fascinating.

Let's explore that. And talk to somebody who actually is intelligent on it and can make a good case one way or another. All right. Have a safe weekend. May God save the Republic. is
