The Glenn Beck Program - Elon Musk Is Not a Threat to Democracy; He's a Threat to Bureaucracy | Guests: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna & Lindy Li | 2/12/25

Episode Date: February 12, 2025

Former Democratic fundraiser Lindy Li joins to share her journey from being a DNC insider and raising billions for Democrats to becoming an independent thinker who has officially left the Democratic Party. As the Left continues to claim that President Trump and Elon are "destroying democracy," Glenn explains the real shadow government threat that President Woodrow Wilson kick-started. President Trump isn't destroying democracy; he's destroying the unelected bureaucracy. Recovering investment banker Carol Roth joins to discuss the importance of growing the economy alongside cutting unnecessary spending. Glenn plays the Democrats' new screeching opposition chant: "Which Side Are You On?" Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) joins to discuss the new task force she will lead on the declassification of federal secrets, of which the first hearing will focus on the JFK assassination. Glenn's chief researcher, Jason Buttrill, joins Glenn to discuss what government secrets could be exposed by Trump's new task force.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen reports tweeted out something that I think is very telling.

You want to know the atmosphere in Washington, D.C. You want to know why they're trying to get everybody to boycott and turn on Elon Musk. Try this out. Over three times more people in Washington, D.C. are Googling criminal defense lawyer than anywhere else in the U.S. today. I don't know. I think they might have something to worry, worry about. That might tip you off on why are they trying to stop Elon Musk?

We're going to talk to somebody who's, you know, because people in the Democratic Party are turning on the party and are starting to tell tales of what it's like or what it was like inside the party. One of these people is a former fundraiser. She was a huge Democratic fundraiser, Lindy Lee. We're going to talk to her in just a second. Stand by. First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. I don't know what's for dinner tonight. I mean, not for you, not for me, but for the dog.

So people are freaking out in the Democratic Party, and they should, especially if you had anything to do with the last election. I mean, you know, they raised a billion dollars and it looked like a lot of it was wasted. Where did that money go? I don't know. But there's somebody that has been seen on many podcasts now. She's former Democratic fundraiser. She is left. I don't know. She's still a Democrat, but she left the DNC as an insider and has become an independent thinker.

Lindy is joining us now. Lindy Lee, welcome, Lindy. Glenn, it's so good to be with you. Thank you so much for having me. Now, I'm guessing that's something you never, ever thought in your life you would say. Good morning, Glenn's back you mean? Yeah, good morning, Glenn. I've watched you from afar for much of my life.

So I do think it would be happening this week, though. You're certainly right. It's been a world-linked, and I'm no longer a Democrat. Oh, really? Because I just read someplace that you haven't left the, you haven't left the part. party, but you have now officially left the party? I have left the party, absolutely. This is not how I saw my year going, but the party left me with no choice. I just can't abide by the woke in trans insanity, not to mention the gross

mismanagement of the money that I spent work so hard to raise. And Glenn, I hate to correct you, but it wasn't a billion. It was $2.5 billion because the campaign raised $1.5 billion, and the Super PAC Future Forward raised another billion. So we essentially say- Where did all that money go? Where did it go, Lindy? To oligarchs, to celebrities, to five-star hotels, half a million dollars is spent on putting Kamala Harris's mug on a sphere in Las Vegas.

Obviously, that was a wise decision. And on mega celebrity concerts, even right down the street on the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum, how many votes do you think that garnered for her? I would wager maybe like negative votes because people were pissed off at the traffic or snald the entire day. And who puts the bill for that? Taxpayers, right? And the damage done to our community.

And she did this in so many cities. Like, who thought that was a good idea? Actually, I know exactly who thought that was a good idea, but it was just these people are brain dead. You say that you can name who the president was. Who was the president in the last four years? Glenn, the thing is, there were like 10 of them. Because you have like Steve Roshetti. and Mike Donald and Nita Don and Barack Obama orbiting around

and all these people who were unelected senior advisors running the show. It certainly wasn't Joe Biden. He was just a figurehead signing the executive orders and not really understanding what he was signing. And it's just a very, very grave situation that I tried to flag for everybody for a number of years now. It took me a while to get here, though. You know, they will excoriate you and I'm still paying the price. I haven't, Glenn, I haven't, it's been really hard time for me.

I haven't slept. I didn't sleep last night. I've been having trouble sleeping. I'm being attacked from both the left and the right, by the way. Somebody on the right is trying to defame me. And the left is just insane. So it's just, it's not a, it's not easy, Glenn. So, so, and I know that.

I mean, I have been excoriated by both sides because I'm, I'm not predictable. I just am who I am. And sometimes I change my mind on things. I love that about you. Yeah, you've been outspoken, literally my entire life. And it's difficult if you don't choose a team when your team is just, I want to be true to myself and true to what I believe is true. For instance, you know, I really thought America was a great place. And I still believe it's a great place.

But we have done really bad things. And I don't mean in the distant past. I mean recently. We've done some really bad things. And we have to admit those things. And it doesn't. mean you're anti-American. It just means, I just want the truth. Let the chips fall where they may and let the people decide the direction. Because I think the people in America are good.

When the government detaches itself from the people, we always go wrong. So I've lived your life before. But can you see at all? You were somebody, I mean, who defended all of this stuff hard during the campaign. Did I have a choice? I don't know. I'm not, so you know. I've lost all of my so-called friends. I've been excommunicated.

Not just ex-communicated, but they try to discredit me, to destroy me, to defame me. They're hit pieces out there about me. They just cannot believe that there is someone who doesn't have skeletons in our closet, so they invent these skeletons.

I am just honestly, just a, I am just honestly a well-behaved Asian girl. You know, that's how I was raised. I've been a Christian conservative all my life, and I had to hide that aspect of me because it's not acceptable to be that. When you go to a liberal university, I went to an extremely liberal university, I live in an extremely liberal city. It's not acceptable to be a Republican. So my transition and my journey to becoming who I am, it took, this is a year's long

process for me. I know. And yeah, so you know, Lindy, you're not walking into a hostile room. I just, you know, as somebody who. I'm really happy and it's an honor to be here. I appreciate you. I hope you understand. I hope you sense that love coming from me. I do. Thank you, Lindy. But I just, you know, we have to have honest conversations because there's a lot of people that will cloak themselves and say, I've got to be on this side for a while. And, you know, everybody is who they are, whatever. But I only want to be around, I have no problem being around liberals if they're reasonable and we can talk about things and we can disagree and we can live side by side forever and it's not a problem. The problem is just exactly what you described, a left and some parts of the right are like this as well, but not nearly like it is on the left. They'll just destroy you.

If they don't, truth does not matter. Absolutely. Right? And those people are really, really dangerous. So what was your turning point? What was the last thing that you're like, okay, I just can't do this anymore? Well, actually, Glenn, I haven't said this publicly. The person that I love most in the world is Republican, and he's always been Republican.

He's from the South. and it's something that I haven't disclosed and I don't want to say more because it's a private individual and he's not a public figure. But when you love somebody, you kind of want to be aligned with them. And because I've been protecting his identity, people just say... So this is a personal relationship. This isn't somebody that you've been... Oh, this is just, you know, one of many factors.

This is what this... My becoming who I am publicly wasn't just one. It wasn't one catalyst. There are so many countless. But I'm just saying that when you love somebody, you kind of want to be on the same page as them. It's only natural. And I've just never, I don't want to drag them into the public square. It's just not my place to do that.

But in terms of specific things, there's so many. I mean, I was attacked on the streets of Philadelphia multiple times in the past year. That's a result of the progressive DA that we have, Larry Krasner, and the George Soros-funded prosecutors that we have around the country basically destroying our cities but not only that the dnc chair publicly humiliated me after i raised questions all i did was raised questions about the campaign spending he called me a narcissist and accused me of taking selfies at the campaign election night party that's his worst okay that's their worst the dnc chair's worst allegation against me that's how thin you know their argument against me is but

He could have, they all had my number, okay? Every one of us were on a first-ane basis. He could have picked up the phone and we could have talked about the campaign spending. Instead, he chose to, you know, indulge his far-left influencers and publicly humiliate me. How could I possibly be a part of that team after something like that, like that happened? And he acted like he was five years old. He said, he tweeted gifs at me. He sent me a jiff of like a flaming dumpster fire, which is supposed to exemplify.

me, I guess. So this is the, this is how the leader of the Democratic Party behaved to well-meaning criticism. I don't want to be a part of this clown show. So, Lindy, let's talk about the, the way the Democrats are behaving now. As I said just a minute ago, and Bill Ackman just retweeted this, that over three times more people in D.C. are Googling criminal defense. lawyer than anywhere else in the U.S. The Democrats are saying that, you know, Elon Musk is destroying democracy when all he's asking for is transparency. And I think, honestly, I think that's part of the thing that when people were talking about

hope and change with Barack Obama, I think that's what a lot of people thought they were going to get was transparency. We're going to read all the bills before they're passed. You're going to be able to see everything that we do. When it comes to our tax dollars, the, the great. gross mismanagement, and that's putting it in the nicest possible frame, the gross mismanagement has got to stop. And when you see what happened with $2.5 billion in the campaign, how do you approach people like you that were on the other side that are now standing up and saying, this Elon Musk, what's happening is destroying democracy? How do you talk to them?

What do you say to them? One phrase, give me a break. You're complaining that Elon Musk wasn't elected and therefore has no right to help the country? What about the team of the cabal of people around Joe Biden who wasn't elected over the past four years? They were literally running the country on his behalf. So don't even start with me. That's what I would say. But also, you know, the people in Washington, this swamp, they're so used to spending OPM other people's money.

And so they're just addicted to that. They had no sense of fiscal responsibility. My family and I were naturally as immigrants, by the way. We came to this country with very little money, $200. We didn't take a handout from anybody. We worked like we worked hard as hell to get to where we are right now, to build a beautiful life, to create hundreds of jobs. And that is mentality that Elon is kind of imposing on the federal government.

You know, to make sure that line by line, every line can be justified. That is the kind of attitude that I actually want. Lindy, it's great talking to you. I hope we get a chance to talk again, because I know you're being accused of being a Chinese spy and your family escape communism. And I just would like to hear more of your point of view. Can we even settle that right now? Like, what do you need me to do? Someone from the CCP killed my great grandfather.

Right. So I don't. I think the only thing I used to be done is just that. People just need to know, no, your family was persecuted by the Chinese communist. It wouldn't make any sense. for you to be. My father is a dissident. Are we allowed to curse on here?

No. We're on federal. Yeah. Oh, it's family friend. FCC. Let me just say that I hate the communist, the Chinese communist regime. I hate them. I've condemned them all my life, my entire adult life.

Five years ago, I went on Fox News, and I openly condemn the communist regime. What do you want from me? Like, what do I need to do? You're just looking for a way to destroy me. because you I don't know you disagree but I'm not going to let people get away

anyone who defames me by the way my lawyer will be reaching out Lindy appreciate it hope we talk again I know you have to run thank you so much for being on with me thank you so much Glenn you bet take care you bet

Lindy Lee I like her she seems nice I you know I like to go a little more in depth with her but my initial response is I like her let's talk a little bit about our sponsor its relief factor Sunday night it was a little hard to sleep i mean for some of us you know knowing that stew was out there happy uh really just gave me a bad

night's sleep uh so i had to take relief factor z a relief factor sleep i mean I think i down a whole bottle of it i was trying to OD but it's because it's all natural couldn't do it couldn't do it i thought stew uh If he's happy, I can't live in that world.

10 seconds, station ID. So I'm at the legendary WIOD in Miami. This is actually the station that Stu, you. used to listen to. And when we first met, you were like, I don't know, 20, 21, something like that. And he said, yeah, I listen to WIOD. And I was like, hmm, this kid has something going on who, what, you know, what 20 something was listening to WIOD back in the day. And it was a powerhouse and still is a powerhouse here in Miami. And we're thrilled to be part of WIOD. I didn't invite Stu to come because it would make him happy to be there.

the legendary W-YAD, yes. Legendary radio station, yeah, for sure. Yeah, I was actually, I was unfortunately unavailable because I was in New Orleans. So anyway, I was with Patrick Bet David at his studio yesterday. And we're going to do a, I was on his podcast yesterday. And it ended with me saying, by the way, I think the list of Epstein is coming out. within the next 10 days. And I was shocked at their response.

All the guys on his podcast, they were like, wait, wait, what? You really think? Yeah, I do. I think that if Cash Patel is the guy who goes into the FBI, I know Cash well enough to know, he's for radical transparency. And I think he'll drop it. And then the president came out and said yesterday that he's, he's, he's, he's, he, He's putting a commission together, and Anna Paulina Luna is going to be the head of that congressional commission to look at all of the secrets that we have.

They want to release everything unredacted, which would be pretty incredible. So Anna's going to be on with us here in just a little while, because I said yesterday with the guys, 10 days. It'll happen within 10 days if Cash Patel is. is actually confirmed. And he's up for a vote, I think, tomorrow. And the Democrats are like, you know what? I think he lied in the second grade.

So they're trying to come up with something to keep him from getting into the FBI. They've got to stop him from being in the FBI. Again, they're Googling criminal defense attorneys in Washington, D.C. I mean, what do you think? there, you know, there might be a little fear going in to having him go in to the FBI that maybe he might find some things that they might have done improperly. And I say good. God bless them.

It does seem like there's a process to all these things, though, right? 10 days, is that going to be quick enough? They're going to want to run through everything, make sure there's no. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. JFK obviously is an old story. So you'd think that there'd be less to worry about. But if there is more to the Epstein thing,

you'd think they'd have to make sure they're protecting sources and methods, as they always say. Yeah, I got to tell you, I think there's more on the JFK stuff as well. I mean, you know, why hasn't that been released? And I agree with President Trump and Cash Patel, radical transparency. By the way, my conversation with Patrick Bet David and his team about the ramifications of the Epstein list, the JFK files, Doge, all of that that's got Washington freaking out tonight on Blaze TV and YouTube. This is Glenn Beck. All right.

So we dealt with some pretty major natural disasters over the last year, and you hate to think that there are people out there who would take advantage of those in need of relief. But there are. scammers, some of them in our own government, but the scammers I want to talk about are people that, you know, will get your identity and they'll scam you and take all of your tax refunds and everything else, especially this time of year.

The arrogance of our government and government officials that are in these agencies is absolutely unbelievable. Yesterday, the president fired four people from FEMA. One of them, the chief financial officer, Mary Comans. she was fired. Why? Because she and the others on her team sent $59 million to luxury hotels in New York to house illegal immigration and illegal immigrants. This is a direct violation of the law and insubordination of the president because he said, you're not to do any of this stuff. You're not to pay anything. There's a freeze on absolutely everything. Okay. So, you know, I don't know who they think they work for. I don't know why they don't think that an executive order applies to them, but, you know, it's the Democrats

and that's the way, you know, they have been working. This is an out of control government, and it's got to come under control. Now, the president is now signing another order to potentially toss in entire agencies out, reducing the federal workforce to essential jobs only. Now, this is something that, you know, that's only done in an emergency. Well, I think, you know, $34 trillion of debt is kind of an emergency. But beyond that, why does our government have anybody other than essential workers? You know what I mean? If you're not essential, I don't want to pay your salary.

I don't want to pay your benefits for the rest of your life. No, no, you're not essential. Out. So he is, he's thinning the herd all across the government, which I think is really, really good. It's time for some accountability and some efficiency. Elon Musk said that we're not living in a democracy. We're living in a bureaucracy. When he said that, my response was, yes.

Now, I don't know if you know who, Elon, I don't know if you know who. Elon, I don't know if you know who Woodrow Wilson is, but yes, living under a bureaucracy. That's the point. Let me give you a quote. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it. Who said that? Sounds like a guy who understands and values freedom.

Somebody who understands the delicate balance of power between the. individual in the state, right? But the guy who said that was the 28th president of the United States. Woodrow Wilson. Now, does that sound like somebody that we know maybe on the left that is now saying things like, we got to save democracy. We got to save democracy. He's killing democracy by cutting the bureaucracy. Wilson was exactly the same kind of politician, except he was the grandfather of all of this. He was the architect of a vision where government would no longer be confined by the rules, the outdated rules, and the chains of the Constitution. He was the guy who said the Declaration of Independence needed to be cast aside because it's an outdated relic.

He was the guy that wanted you not to be governed by the laws of nature's and nature's God, but by an elite ruling class of scientists, experts, bureaucrats, that's what he wanted. Isn't that what we have right now? We're not, we don't elect the president. You elect the president and nothing changes. Why? Not just because both parties are alike, but because the bureaucracy is set in stone. It's a ruling class of scientists, experts, and bureaucrats.

Wilson believed that the government was no longer the machine of our founding fathers that needed to be shackled and restrained. He thought government should be a living organism, an evolving entity, free from the so-called outdated principles of 1776. This is where we get, the Constitution is a living, breathing thing. No, it's not. No, that's Woodrow Wilson. He looked at the Constitution, the greatest safeguard of liberty. ever written and didn't see it as a beacon of freedom, he saw it as an obstacle that needed to be overcome. Let me paint you this picture. Imagine you're sitting in a grand lecture hall. It's early

1900s. Gas lights are flickering. And a young professor steps up to the podium. He stands at the podium. Everybody starts to be quiet. You're in a crowd. Everybody there is the future rulers of America. And he starts in to thunderous applause with something that, I don't know, me, it would the back of my neck, the hair on the back of my neck would stand up. He said, quote, the makers of the Constitution constructed the federal government upon a theory of checks and balances, which was meant to limit the government's power and therefore its ability to govern. This was a great mistake. The Constitution was founded on the Newtonian theory of the universe, but we now understand

that the government is not a machine, but a living thing. It must evolve, it must adapt, and it must be freed from its chains, end quote. Freed from its chains. When I read that line, I thought of Chloris Leachman, sending this, setting the monster free in young Frankenstein, you're free, you're free. It didn't work out well. Okay, that does. When you take something that is like fire, hello California, and just release it, it is a very bad thing. Washington said government is like fire. It will be the master of you if you're not the master of it. Are we the master of our government? Or is,

Is it the master over us? What do you think what happens when you have a government, you free it from its chains? Does it become a benevolent force? Does it look out for your best interest? Does it even know who you are, let alone answer to you? Wilson wasn't just a professor. He was a man on a mission to change, and this is his words, to change a man or a boy, and to be the most unlike his father as possible.

Isn't that what our education system is doing? Wilson believed that we needed to move away from the messy system of self-government and have it all placed into the capable hands of an intellectual elite that he called administrative experts. So you can see this throughout our whole government. Anthony Fauci, the law was, that we are not supposed to do gain of function research. We now know through all kinds of records that have been released that Anthony Fauci disagreed with that

and he made the decision that we were going to do gain of function research because it's not up to him to answer to the people. He answers, he is the expert. He's the administrator. He knows better than the average person. Even if other scientists disagree with him, he is science. These experts that are unelected and unaccountable, Wilson saw this. These are the people that need to run the country, not as representatives of the people,

but as as scientists, technocrats, bureaucrats, who know better than you do on how to live your life. For Wilson, and now you're seeing his finished product that Trump and Elon Musk are beginning to dismantle, you are now seeing that his vision was that the American people were not individuals that were given God given rights. They were just parts of a collective, a mass to be organized, to be managed, to be directed. He viewed the old principles of liberty and self-determination. are relics of an ignorant past. Things that have to be replaced by science and numbers, cold efficiency of science and government regulation. Now, our founders would say that's all well and good. We understand that let's just take you at face value and say you're honest in that. But what

you're forgetting is that men go bad with power and money. all men can be corrupted. So it's not that we are putting chains on the government because government is bad. No, government is made up of the people that are in it. And if you don't limit it, if you allow them to gain more and more power and more and more money, it will go corrupt and it will begin to oppress you. The founders weren't anti-government. They were anti out of control large government where the people were servants of that government, not the other way around.

Wilson wrote the Declaration of Independence, the foundation of our freedoms. He said it was outdated. He called the principles for all practices and purposes in the declaration, meaningless. Meaningless is his word. the words that inspired the American Revolution, the ideas that all men are created equal, that our rights come from God, not from government, were to Wilson irrelevant and meaningless in the modern world. Why? Because you're too stupid to understand what's really going on.

You're too stupid to be able to manage the affairs of not only the nation, but the world. Every time we try to manage a nation or the world, we go wrong every single time. He didn't believe you really have a right to property, to speech, to life itself, unless the government allowed it. If that doesn't terrify you, let me tell you something even darker than that. He also believed that science, not morality, not faith, not the Constitution, but science should be the guiding force of government. Well, we saw that with COVID, didn't we? Follow the science. What kind of science? Well, just as Fauci was doing, the experiments that Fauci has been doing on animals and everything else, it's, it's, it's, uh, pre-mengala stuff.

It's really evil stuff because it has no medical purpose to it at all. The science that Wilson was talking about was eugenics. And that's the same kind of stuff that they just named it something else. But it's the same kind of medicine that we're talking about now.

The kind that kills those who are unfit. Look at what's happening. in Canada. It's the kind of politics that led to policies of forced sterilization and racial segregation, which he put into practice. He was the guy who re-separated, re-segregated the military. He segregated the government. He praised the film Birth of a Nation, which glorified the clan. He believed in an America, where government, led by an enlightened few, would decide who was fit to participate in society and who wasn't. Does that sound like America to you at all? Or does that sound like the birth of

something entirely different? When he left office, it grew. It took root in Washington because they figured out companies could go to Washington and lobby and get their way. This is the beginning of all of the lobbyists in Washington. And it just grew, ever-expanding bureaucracy, a shadow government of unelected officials who now control almost every aspect of your life, from what kind of car you drive, to what you eat, to what stove you can have in your house, how you can build your house. His dream was that a government would no longer be by the people, but by the experts. The people would be managed, guided, and nudged in the right direction. So when they're saying that they're destroying democracy, no, they're destroying the

bureaucracy, which is the antithesis to our founding documents. All right, let me talk to you about pre-born. You know, we're just talking about eugenics. It is, it's evil when you start to devalue life, any life, any, either side, the unborn or the elderly, the, the disabled. You start to devalue life. You're over as a society. We have got to stop this. And the way to do it is through compassion. When a mom sees her unborn child on a monitor in an abortion clinic,

she hears the heartbeat. She sees that baby. She's twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby. Preborn is now saving 200 babies a day with help from people just like you. And they have life-affirming care in the darkest corners of our nation. and if you would like to help more hurting women and save more babies, if you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to help babies in a big way? Your tax-deductible donation of $15,000 will place a machine in a needy women's center,

saving countless lives for years to come. You can donate that or you could donate a buck. Whatever you want, whatever you can pitch in. Just dial pound 250, say the keyword baby.

You know, if you go through something traumatic, it can really put you in a bad headspace. You know, for example, if you happen to be a Kansas City Chiefs fan and host a major radio program and have to deal with a tragic, tragic and horrific, destructive defeat as a fan of your team in the Super Bowl,

that's only slightly worse than what would go on if you happen to be a victim of home title fraud. This is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. And a district attorney in California recently stated that known title fraud attempts over the last year and a half jumped from zero to almost 80. And 80 is basically the amount of points that the Eagles scored on the Chiefs. So it's one of those situations that it can be really, really devastating for you if you happen to be a Chiefs fan and, you know, at your ranch or whatever.

I got to tell you, Elon Musk is, oh my gosh, he is just trolling the media nonstop.

One of the things that USAID apparently was doing with your tax dollars was offering free circumcisions all over the world. And then they were charging you, the taxpayer, a ridiculously high price. So he tweets yesterday, decided to go in and challenge that business. So he changes his name on X to Harry Bulls, B-O-L-Z, Harry Bulls, circumcisions at a discount, now 50% off. Why would he do that? Because you don't understand. He's like, as parts of him are, he's like a 12-year-old boy that is just trolling people like Jake Tapper. That's all he's doing. He's like, I made him say or it balls on the air. That's what it is. And there's part of me that is really offended by that and wish he would grow up. And there's a bigger part of me that is like, score, buddy, score.

Let me talk to you a little bit about the burner launcher. The burner launcher is something that my wife has in her car. I have in my car in the glove box. I'll carry it from time to time. My daughter has one in her purse. And it's much better than Mace or. pepper spray this looks like a gun it's legal in all 50 states you don't need a permit or background check or anything because it's less lethal and it fires a kinetic round that will put you on the ground for a while and and then it also has tear gas I load mine kinetic round tear gas to kinetic round tear gas so I'm gonna hit you first with a kinetic round and if that doesn't get your attention

tear gas I'm hitting you with next and that'll put you on the ground for 45 minutes. It is really a great thing. Sometimes you're in need of a gun. Other times, are you going to pull that gun? You know, only pull a gun if you're prepared to kill somebody. And sometimes you have to. I hope I'm never in that situation.

Most times we'll be in a situation where you want something like a Burna launcher. Burn a B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn. They've made a 10% discount now off your purchase if you use the promo code Glenn when you get that. That's burna.com slash glen. Burna.com slash glend. Go there now.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. So I think we're all excited, I think, about the cuts to the federal government. Been waiting for this for a very, very long time. However, there is a downside to this that has to be balanced very carefully. And unfortunately, what lies at the end of this road, if we're not careful, is Congress. and another gigantic bailout. I'll explain this. Carol Roth, she joins me in 60 seconds.

Stand by. First, our sponsor, this half hour, is Patriot Mobile. I never used to carry a cell phone. Never. Because while I don't want to name names on this program, I do have idiot friends who might call me in the middle of night, drunk, yelling things like, Eagle's one.

Eagle, Yves, sir. And I really want to. avoid that kind of stuff. I'm not naming names here. But eventually, I got a cell phone. I have a cell phone. I couldn't tell you where it is right now, but I got one to support Patriot Mobile and the good work that they do, because I'm a good person, unlike other unnamed co-hosts on this program. Anyway, America's only Christian conservative mobile company is Patriot Mobile, and their mission is to passionately defend our God-given rights, constitutional rights, and freedoms and to glorify God always. And they told me there's a way to block certain callers,

so I might start carrying it.

Visit Patriotmobile.com slash back or call 972.com.com. two Patriots. Okay, let me go to Carol Roth. Carol Roth, who is a recovering investment banker,

and she's also the author of a couple of really, really good books. One of them is You Will Own Nothing, Your War with a New Financial World Order and How to Fight Back. She has been part of the good fight on ESG and all of this, which, you know, for now, it's being rolled back, but, you know, let's not celebrate before its head is completely cut off. Carol, welcome to the program. How are you? You know, they say there are decades when nothing happens and then weeks when decades happen. And I feel like we're getting decades every single day. So I'm doing well with you, kind of struggling to keep up with all of the news that's coming out.

Breathless, absolutely breathless. Let's talk about, and this is really important because I don't want to, I don't want to harsh any. anybody's mellow, as we used to say in the West Coast. But, you know, there's a lot of good news, but we have to be aware of the downside of this. So we're not shocked. And we also can prepare for what the proposed solution from Congress will be. Explain why even really good cuts to the extent we're cutting and planning on cutting. why that can turn ugly on us?

So the best way that I can explain it is that we are in this awful fiscal situation, which I think everybody understands. But what that has done is it's laid in effect trip wires all around us. And those trip wires are things like our debt to GDP, which is 120 percent, our deficits to GDP, which are running at wartime levels, just crazy. The strength of the U.S. dollar, which is not necessarily strong when you go to the grocery store, but is strong against a basket of other currencies from around the world. The rates on the 10-year yield, which, again, historically may not seem that high, but in modern historical context are quite high from what we've seen in the last 15 years, the interest being higher than defense spending as part of our overall budget. So all of these things are these trip wires that to the extent the Trump administration is able to do things, they have to make sure that their good deed doesn't get punished by, you know, getting into one of these trip wires and sending us in the wrong direction.

So if, oh, do you want to go ahead? No, no, no. Go ahead. Okay. Okay. So if you think about just, you know, general math, we have a situation where our country has been showing growth. But as I said, we've been generating these enormous deficits in order to do that. And that has been adding to the GDP, but taking lots of dollars to show that growth.

We want to see. Hang on just a second. Let's zero on this just for half a second. It takes almost $6 for the government to spend for us to get $1 in growth. That was the fourth quarter of last year. That was exactly correct. That's not good. That's not good.

Right. Which is why we keep talking about, you know, the fact that a dollar spent by the government is not the same as the dollar in your pocket or spent by the private sector. You're not getting the same kind of productivity. And in fact, Elon Musk said this in the White House yesterday. We're trying to take people who are these nonproductive, you know, bureaucratic government jobs and put them into a productive, you know, a place in the workforce. That being said that there is a choreography to not hit the tripwire because we've been. putting all this money out and that is going and showing up in GDP, if you cut that before you see the growth, you're going to hit one of those trip wires that potentially could say, oh, no,

now we've actually shrunk GDP and we're in a recession. Oh, we're not getting as much revenue. Oh, that actually means that we're increasing the deficit and we could end up in something that causes a debt spiral. The same thing could happen with some of these cuts in the strength of the U.S. dollar. If we do things that continue to strengthen the U.S. dollar, we are near a territory that is considered dangerous in terms of sending things in the global financial market sideways. Because, again, you have to remember that we have goods and services that are priced in U.S. dollars around the world. Well, what happens if, you know, somebody needs to raise more dollars, do things like you sell stocks or sell treasuries to do that. If they're selling treasuries,

that then kicks up our interest rates. And again, everything is this circular trip wire. So if we don't get this order of operations correct, we could see, you know, a recession. We could see a debt spiral. What's going to happen then, Glenn? They're going to blame Trump for that. Right. They're going to blame Trump. And Congress will then put in a big spending bailout package. and we'll be back right where we were. Exactly. Correct? Yeah.

Exactly. Or worse. Yeah. Okay. So let's talk about things that can be done. And are you watching? I mean, I'm watching the progress that the president is making on so many things. I mean, it's breathtaking to watch everywhere he's going in and routing things out and now talking about closing so many different.

agencies or greatly reducing him, cutting them by, you know, two-thirds. But I haven't seen the movement on regulation and anything that's good for business yet. Have you seen those moves? Well, you know that you and I have been talking about for almost a year now, this corporate transparency act for small businesses, and they had an opportunity to repeal that, and instead the House voted on a one-year delay. We want certainty. We want to get rid of this, the small business optimism index, although for the past three months is up above the historic average, is still on the downtrend for the last month because they're concerned about tariffs and they're concerned about regulation like the CTA and whatnot. So we have not

seen as much of the things done that are going to juice the economy yet. I do think the good news here is that there does seem to be some careful thought in certain places, things like offering the buyout packages for some of these government workers, you and I might say, well, you know, let's just cut them off immediately, but giving them that lag time then gives them an opportunity to find that employment in the private sector and shift those dollars from the government to the private sector and the more productive side, as we talked about. So we do need to be mindful of the choreography and we need to be patient here. But, yeah, I'm a little worried. I'm hopeful some of these things that they're finding are not contributors to GDP. There are things where money's being wasted.

I mean, they honestly, they don't seem like it, you know, when we're giving people, uh, uh, circumcisions all across the globe. That, that's not really something that is, you know, good for our growth. No, exactly. So I think that, you know, it's smart to start with those kinds of things. But I do think, um, Scott Bessent, who is the new Treasury secretary, as we've talked about, super smart guy, and he's been talking about for a long time before he was even in consideration officially for Treasury Secretary that he's seeing a resetting happening of the global financial order, which we've talked about, and he's seeing these unusual things that are going to happen. So I think we are going to see some very out-of-the-box ideas coming from particularly Treasury

about ways to address some of these trip wires. Okay. So can I talk about one thing I'd really want to focus on on this? One of the things that is being speculated is right now the government is marking gold at what, $42 an ounce. The price of gold is $2 an ounce, but the government has it on its books as $42 an ounce. And usually you would do something called mark to market. So you would change that. number to $2,900 an ounce, and then it would be in market value. They're talking about marking that up possibly to $4,000 or $6,000 an ounce. How real is this? Because that changes everything. So I'm so glad you brought this up. If you listen to what, against the things that Scott Besson has been saying, the things about this reordering of the global financial order, and just a couple of days ago in the press conference he gave. I don't know if anybody caught it, but he was talking about monetizing the asset side of the balance sheet. Right. Okay, well, what assets do we have that

we could potentially monetize? It's not like we're going to be selling off federal lands and things like that likely, but we do have, as you put forth, we have a lot of gold, supposedly. So let's just run with the fact that we actually do have this, you know, for 8,000 tons. So as you said, it's being carried on the books at just over $42 an ounce. What would happen is if they decided, let's just start with the first piece of it. If they decide to market up to $2,900 an ounce, what functionally happened when they did this in the 1970s, the last time they did a revaluation, is that the Treasury offers the Fed's certificates for the difference in value. And then the Fed deposits in the Treasury's quote unquote checking account, the TGF,

or Treasury General account, the difference. So that could be like $800 billion that gets put into the Treasury's account that they could then spend. If we get, by the way, a further markup that there's some sort of a big accord, the Mar-a-Lago accord, as some people have, you know, kind of jokingly said, where we sit down with China, we sit down with some of these other places and say, look, something needs to be done about these trip wires, about the value of the dollar, you know, versus the yuan and whatnot, everybody, as we know, all the central banks have been loading up on gold.

So what happens if, you know, we bump that to $4,000 or $6,000, then all of these central banks then have a benefit. The yuan is devalued versus gold, but it isn't as big of an issue for them. they have the goal to settle the trade. We now all of a sudden have cash that the Treasury can spend without having to bring the Fed in. The challenge is monetization. What is the release valve for that? It's inflation, as we've seen.

And this is kind of the warning that we've been talking about for a long time. We saw it today with the CPI being hot again. There needs to be a release valve somewhere. So you're going to have a recession. or you're going to have inflation. You're going to have the global financial markets tumble or you're going to have inflation. You're going to have all these things that are politically not palatable

or you're going to have more inflation. So guess what we're likely to have on an ongoing basis, glad? A recession or inflation. Yeah, exactly. Right. So let me take a quick break. And then I want to come back. What should we be?

doing what how fast does this have to happen to get ahead of it i mean the one thing that i know that donald trump understands is business i know he understands we have to rebuild america and and bring more jobs back into america start building things ourselves you know uh refocus small business um you know be dominant and i all of these things But what has to happen first? What are the moves that we should be looking at to say, okay, good. We've got that under control, or at least we're thinking about that. This is one possibility that could get it under control.

I don't know if there is a magic bullet that you could shoot and make all these problems go away. But what would we look for to give us an indication that we're at least really thinking about it and addressing it soon. And how much time do we have? Back with the answer, if she has it, in just a second. First, let me tell you about SimplySafe. There is a lot to protect under the roof of yours. First of all, you want to keep all the things that you own,

the things you've worked hard for from being stolen from some burglar, sure. But even more important than that, you want your family to be safe and sound every day. That means getting home security, a home security system. And may I recommend Simply Safe? They offer advanced state-of-the-art home security and 24-7, monitoring plans for around a dollar a day. That's an incredible price, a dollar a day. And with their lifeguard protection, they have fast protect monitoring. That means when an alarm goes off,

it sends a signal to the police. Well, the police aren't responding to all of the signals of an alarm because they go off all the time. So you actually need to have somebody verify that that alarm is right. Well, that's where SimplySafe comes in. They have their active guard outdoor protection. It uses AI powered cameras, which are backed up by live monitoring agents who can respond within five seconds and they can keep watch over your property for 24-7. No long-term contracts, easy to set up yourself or they'll do it for you, 60-day satisfaction guarantee, and you can get 50% off a new system if you sign up for their professional monitoring plan. Your first month will be free. There's no safe like SimplySafe.

Go to Simplysafe.com slash Beck. Simplysafe.com slash Beck. 10 seconds. Station ID. Okay. So when do you expect to see Treasury start to move this way? Are they moving so far? Are they giving signals that they know how urgent this is?

And what should we be looking for? So Scott Besson has definitely said that he understands how urgent this is the first signal to me that he kind of understands how urgent this is, is that he is critical of Janet Yellen financing our debt at what's called the short end of the curve, the short-term bills instead of, you know, using 10 years or 30 years to finance. And his first opportunity to refinance, what did he do? He did the same thing, which means that he kind of understands that there wasn't much of a choice. There's no way out. Yeah, that was the first signal to me. He is incredibly intelligent. And while Trump and Musk are going to focus on the things that they understand and are

within their context, he is going to focus on, you know, these real issues. And I don't think he's going to get a ton of help from the Federal Reserve, who obviously, you know, kind of played the role that Biden wanted them to play. And I think there's going to be a little bit more friction. So I think the Treasury is going to have to take a more active step and stance here and the administration will as well. So I do think that this is something we could see this year. It is something that we could potentially even see in the first half of the year. And we've seen all kinds of, you know, kind of small signposts, if you will, about gold coming back to the U.S. and, you know, some of the banks becoming bullion banks. And I saw yesterday, South, I think it was South Korea, is no longer selling bars.

put a halt on it because there's all this demand and London's having a hard time settling. So there are all these little signposts that are going, okay, people seem to think that there might be something going on here more than just, oh, you know, we're concerned about tariffs, so we're doubling down in gold. So I do think that we will see something unusual. I think what's going to happen that is probably going to be kind of make people's head spins is all of the things that we've talked about as bad financial moves in a free market are unfortunately going to be some of the things that they are going to have to do, things that, you know, do create inflation, things that, you know, create monetization. I mean, there's a really crazy idea, you know, that they try to take interest rates down in

some way so that they can really refinance the debt at lower interest costs and get that interest payment down. But again, there has to be a release valve for the some way. You cannot have some action and not have a related consequence. And so I think for the individuals who are thinking, well, what do I do? You know, A, you've got to make sure that your wages, to the extent you have wages and aren't, you know, retired are keeping pace with inflation. And you have to also, you know, make sure that you have some diversified portfolio because the likely reality is, whether it's gold or stock, that you're going to see those assets continue to afflate with the wider inflation. Carol, thank you, as always.

Do you know what happens to gold, if this, they revalue it? I mean, going for $2,900 in value and the government says, oh, by the way, we're going to make it $6,000 an ounce. May I suggest you call Lear Capital? I mean, if this is what's happening with the central banks, and I've been saying this for about two years now, central banks are buying it up. Why? What do they know that we don't know? That's how the rich get richer.

They know something we don't know. Is it this? Maybe. Gold could be your best performing asset in 2025. Call Lear Capital Today, 800-957 gold. You'll see their free $4,200 gold report. I mean, that's almost double what we have now. See why gold could be headed for record highs this year.

We're from Miami today. I'm in Miami, W-I-O-D. Thank you so much for your hospitality. and a good friend Grace Blazer for everything that she has done for this program over the years.

I want to talk to about, well, let me apologize first, okay? Before we start talking about, I do want to apologize because this is going to be in your head now forever, but I just don't know any other way. I have to present this to you. So the Democrats, I think, have lost their mind. And so they are now, you know, standing up for the Department of Ed and they're standing up for USAID and all of these crazy things. I mean, the Department of Ed, when we start to see what the Department of Ed actually spends its money on, I think you'll agree. our test scores are we spend more money per student than anybody else in the world and when you

look at the test scores we're not getting anything for it the department of ed doesn't do anything all that money should go back to the states and the federal government could help those states that just can't afford things but it shouldn't be run by the unions or anybody else it should be run by the local school districts and certainly not by the federal government well they're very upset at some of these cuts. And I just they've got a new chant. It's more of a song than a chant.

And I just think you should hear it because it's very, very compelling. Oh, which side are you on? Which side are you on? Yeah. Which side are you on? Sing it. Which side are you on?

Give me an amen. We'll fight against George. We'll fight Elon Musk. Now we let's get within our walls. We'll fight from dawn to dusk. Oh, which side are you on? Which side are you on? Boy.

Which side are you on? Yeah. Which side are you on? All right. Oh, she's got more. He wants us all to fit. Lovely singing voice. Says to bow to him, but we want him in jail.

Oh, which side are you on? Okay. Which side are you on? I'm sorry, that is going to be in your head now for the rest of the day. You're going to find yourself, and don't curse me. I'm just doing my job, bringing you the news. So don't, you know, it'll be 3 o'clock this afternoon. Maybe 9 o'clock tonight, and you'll be like,

No, no, no. Damn. Glenn Beck. Don't blame me. Don't blame me. Blame the unions in Washington. Blame the organizers in Washington that are saying, which side are you on?

The cuts of graft and corruption and just not knowing where the hell your money went? I think I'm on that side. My question is, which side are they on? You know what I mean? The one's singing, especially the woman leading. Which side is she on? Because I think this helps my side. Not their side.

but I you know maybe it's just me maybe I I don't have the right appreciation for the fine arts and that super super classic by the way they've changed the words but that is something a song that was written for the labor movement by the socialists in 1931 or 1932 it came again back in the 60s and what a surprise the same socialist are singing it again so which side are are you on? Oh, which side are you on? Now, I don't know, and I haven't heard this for a while, but the only thing I can compare this to, in quality,

is do you remember the woman in Seattle years ago that came up with her own song about there's a hole in the sky where the tree once was? Go ahead, let's pull this super, super clesco. There's a hole in the sky where the tree once was. somebody's making money There's a hole in the sky where the tree once was Somebody's making money

Laws protect exceptional trees But the city grants exemptions to these Instead they reward the developers greed And sanction the murderer's deeds There's a hole in the sky where the tree once was Somebody's making money There's a hole in the sky where the tree where the tree once was.

She missed her calling. She should be on Broadway. No more leaves shimmering with golden light. No more gentle shedding of rains. Nor tulip blossoms rustling in the wind. Now nothing remains. Hey! Hey!

Hold in the sky where the tree once was. Okay, stop, stop, stop. Could we play the other one? Because I'm just trying to, which one is better? That one's really good. That one's really, really super good. I could see it on Broadway. And,

and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,

is this new one, which side are you on? What, play, play, play, play, play, play,

which side are you on? Which side are you on? Tell me, which side are you on? I like that. Tell me. Which side are you on? We'll fight against George.

We'll fight against Joech, we'll fight even on mask. Not sure she's a little pitchy dog. Little pitchy dog. Little pidge. You know, I have to say, I have to say, as somebody who does like Broadway, I think that's the winner. That's the one that I'm leaving the theater singing, you know?

Well, as a man who's produced a top-selling Christmas CD recently, you have an eye for talent. And I think, is there a possibility that your daughter and one of these singers, could do a duet. Is there a... Nope, I don't think there's a possibility of that at all. No, okay. Not even in the slightest. By the way, don't you owe us a duet? I was hoping you wouldn't bring that up. Okay. You owe us a song.

Yeah, I do. Yeah, you do. Okay. I just haven't had a chance to get around to it. I always say vocal performance-wise, I think the hole in the sky, there's a clear-cut advantage there for the ability as far as singing goes. And lyrics, lyrics. I mean, you know, you don't have a lot of shimmering leaves in, you know, in regular March songs. This is more of a ballad, really.

When you throw the word musk in, you know they're going to dusk. Yeah. Because there's not a lot of songs that you can't rhyme tusk all that often unless you're singing about like, you know, prehistoric animals. Yes. You're not going to get there that often. So there's not really that much to go to. So I thought it was pretty bad. Could you go to bust with Musk?

I mean, it's a stretch. It's a stretch. Not a true rhyme, but I don't think I can hold him to that standard anyway. And like, what are they? I love the idea here that like they're trying to make Musk into this guy who's actually the president of the United States right now. Yeah. And there's like multiple reasons I think they're doing that. You know, but one of them is I think you look at like,

what he's trying to do is so fundamentally obvious to everyone. Now, you might not think he's making the right choices in that process. You could say, okay, well, I think this particular program is beneficial and the others aren't. But, like, fundamentally, he's just trying to get rid of waste and

it's so obvious this stuff exists. And I don't even think that they're necessarily, like, arguing. Like, they don't argue the specific points he makes up. Oh, no, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Play that song again. Yeah, that's true. I think you might be Oh, which side are you on?

Okay. Which side are you on? Okay, now listen to her case. Which side are you on? We'll fight against Joe. We'll fight Elon Musk. Yes. Now we let scab within our walls.

We'll fight from dawn to dusk. Oh, which side. So something about scabs in their walls. Yeah. I don't think that's the best verse for this case that you were making. Can you get to the second verse there for me? Are you on? Good.

We get the whole chorus again. Well, that's the part that. Which side are you on? You keep playing it. It'll just never leave your head. Trump's coming for our unions. Trump's coming for the union. He wants us all to fail.

He wants us to bow to him. But we want him in jail. Oh, what a great. Okay. So that is a really good point. And I don't think people are sick of the jail talk. You know what I mean? No, it works so well in the most recent election.

You go back to it. They should, they got to. I mean, when they get halfway through the song and they say the word, Bittler, you know what's coming. That's right. I think that's in the fourth stanza. It's in the fourth stanza. Yes, it is coming.

Most people don't sing it, but they'll bring it up. They'll bring it up. Can I bring up one other argument? I want to get your take on, Glenn. Sure. whether what the media is trying to do with all this Elon Musk talk obviously they want him to fail at what he's attempting to do here that's clear but like he's on the cover of Time magazine sitting in at the resolute desk yeah I think they want to break up this little relationship of course they do they are trying to taunt Trump into thinking well actually it's Musk that's the president and thinking Trump's ego will step up and say no it's not in fact he's gone like they will want to create that. I don't think Trump is dumb enough to fall for it. No.

But I do think they are trying to do that. Oh, they, they don't understand the fundamental change in Donald Trump. You know, maybe in the first term, maybe, maybe you could have gotten away with that. But not if he was locked in as much as he is on what Elon Musk is doing. And knowing who Elon Musk is and what he's capable of. He has a profound respect for him as a cutter, as somebody who can. look at a big picture and break it down into his head in the fundamentals almost instantaneously. You know, and Donald Trump knows that he has that skill and knows what role he plays.

And he's not concerned about anybody thinking he's not president of the United States. You know, they did that the last, he's not really president. He was selected, not elected. All of that stuff, it doesn't mean anything to him. He has his mojo back, and it's just, it's not going to work. It's not going to work. I mean, did you hear his response to that from Time Magazine? Did you see, Mr. President, Time Magazine, had Elon Musk sitting behind this, a quote,

Your Resolute Desk. Do you have any comment on that? You know what his comment was? Is Time Magazine still in business? It's fantastic. It's fantastic. Yeah, that's the right response. It is. It is. So I don't think it's going to work.

And the other thing that makes his fall apart is Bernie Sanders, I've been warning about millionaires and billionaires having access to our government and creating an oligarchy. Really, Bernie? I don't remember you saying anything about George Soros. I don't remember you saying anything. In fact, as we are now looking at all of the NGOs that are run, by all of your friends that are all getting millions and millions of dollars from the government.

I didn't hear, in fact, you're defending that now. How is this consistent at all? I love Hillary Clinton when she comes up. This is disgusting. Really? Ms. Clinton? The Clinton Global Initiative? The queen of Benghazi?

I don't think you have any credibility on this. No, they're mad at Elon Musk because he's a billionaire that isn't giving his money and efforts to them. Lots of the other ones are. They like a certain type of billionaire, which is the one that's feeding them money. That's the kind they like. And every other kind is bad. Right. And I have to tell you, when he gets into the Defense Department, that's when we should really be saying great things.

That's when he's uncovering the graft and the waste in our defense department, which you know is there. We've done that ever since I was a kid. All of that. That's when we have touchdown after touchdown because they're protecting their little graft scheme. Our side, which is supposed to be big defense, I don't want any of it protected. I want those people to be exposed. And if they broke the law, I want them to go to jail. And I want the money to be accounted for.

So what are you going to say to that? Oh, they just are big war business. Billion. The evil guy with the electric car company. That's the real enemy. Wait, I thought the biggest existential threat was... What side are you on? This side are you on?

It's crazy. So bad. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor. this half hour, Good ranchers would like to know which side are you on? You know what I mean? In fact, I wrote a little son, no. 85% of all grass-fed beef in America is imported now.

Anna Polina Luna is with me now from Congress. She's just been appointed to lead the task force on declassification of federal secrets. Anna, welcome. How are you? Hey, Glenn. Happy to be back on. Thank you. Okay.

Now, I just have to say yesterday, unbeknownst to me, before you are a appointed. I was on a show with Patrick Pet David and, and I said within 15 days, they're going to release the client list for Jeffrey Epstein. No way. That can't be true. And I said, I'm telling you, Cash Patel, I talked to him over the summer. He is for radical transparency. It's in the hands of the director of the FBI. I think he does it day number one. But let's give him a few days to settle in. They didn't believe me. They said, we're going to track this. So Anna, you're going to me look bad. And I don't care if lives are destroyed or whatever, but you can't make me look bad. No, you know, we actually also sent a letter yesterday to the Department of Justice. As you know,

Pam Body Bondi is heading up that organization. And we also asked for it there. But I also, I'm in the same belief that Cash will get confirmed. I think that he is going to be absolutely pushing for radical transparency. And I'd like to also, too, just point out that, you know, at the same time that we're basically announcing our press conference and this declassification task force, we actually also found out that the FBI just so happened to locate thousands of pages of, you know, previously undiscovered JFK files. So look, I know a lot of people are like, well, the American people need to see that information first. And you actually will be able to see it.

It's going to be declassified. But the reason why we're doing the task force is A, just because President Trump signed an executive order doesn't mean that bureaucrats in these intelligence agencies won't attempt to block it. So we want to make sure that that's followed through. And we do have, you know, punitive authority to hold them accountable if they don't, A, and then B, I think it's incredibly important to look at the evidence that we know now, which is sure as heck a lot different than what they had, you know, even 60 years ago. And what we're finding of what I have said is from what I have looked at, just stuff that's already out there, also, too, taking into account many of

the doctors that were actually at that initial responding, or at that initial hospital, hospital, I do think that there were two shooters. And I think that, you know, the whole magic bully theory that the Warren Commission pushed, I think that that was faulty. I know the president at the time also believed that that was a faulty theory. And so, you know, I'm, I'm eager to uncover this. I know that there's many Democrats and Republicans that also want to get to the bottom of this. And I'm simply asking the questions that every American has been asking for decades. So I have a really good friend, Paul Vienz, who is, he has the museum of the American soldier in Texas.

And he had, and he spent a long time to get the exact right gun, the way it was modified, scope and everything else. And he just had it redone. And I have to tell you, I've held it. I'm going to take it out to the range next week. But I've held the gun. I've looked through the scope. I just don't think you could do it. I mean, it is, it's just so difficult.

There were reports from doctors at the time. some of which were, you know, first and second year med students who were at the hospital in the room where Kennedy was brought. And they reported an entry wound in the neck from some of the footage that you can see that's actually videoed. You can see obviously Kennedy getting shot, but then also the doctors that ran the autopsies at Bethesda, Maryland, had reported seeing an entry wound in the back. And so we're talking about multiple shots here. I think the whole idea that they would try to just ignore that evidence or at least try to bury that and not even answer the question. is suspect to me. And so I think this whole idea of wanting to push against declassification or even trying

to poo the evidence that now has been brought to the forefront, look, it's the obligation of the U.S. government to release this information to the American people. Kennedy was arguably one of the most popular presidents, and he was fascinated. So why did they try so hard to push back against any questioning? And that's where I come in and where the task force comes in. You know, I'm also telling people, though, if you are seeing people with large accounts and social media especially, pushing against declassification or attempting to discredit. And I saw immediately after my press conference trying to discredit the efforts of Congress

to actually follow through and get this done. In my opinion, bad actors exist on both sides. If you really have nothing to hide, then you should not be afraid of the questioning. You should be afraid of information getting out to see people. So let me ask you, let me push back on a couple of things, just from, you know, playing devil's advocate. Yeah. Why would you start with the JFK?

Why is that even important? I mean, it happened a year before I was born. Yesterday was my 61st birthday. How is this relevant? How is this relevant? So when we chose to kind of go through the hearing timelines, it's the MLK files and JFK files that are going to be released first. So we wanted to help go through that information and then also correct some of the historical

narratives that were painted on these assassinations. obviously confirming or, you know, holding hearings that actually present new evidence, I think is important for knowing and fully understanding the story, right? So that's the first thing. Are these going to be open hearings? Yes, yep, these are all open. And the reason I want them open is because I think the American people will be able to also go through the evidence. I'm also going to be doing something similar to what I did when we ran the UAP hearings and allow people to ask questions. And we're also bringing in experts.

there's a few individuals that I want to bring in from the previous investigations that actually were pointing out some pretty incredible evidence that pointed to potentially a second shooter. And they were puked. And I think that those people deserve a platform. And if we find anything, you know, having cash confirmed is incredibly important because he's also going to bring forward files that I would argue have been hidden from the American people.

And so, look, this is obviously a big effort. We're not perfect, but we do know that the American people deserve this, and that's what we're fighting for, is total complete transparency. Okay, so the other pushback question that I have, and this one is actually pretty sincere from me, and that is, once we get Congress involved, then we're relitigating everything. The more Congress gets involved, the slower it will happen. And the higher the percentages, it's just not going to come out. We're just going to get pages and pages of redacted crap. Well, so the whole purpose and objective of this task course is actually to ensure that with President Trump's executive order, that the agencies and the bureaucrats in those agencies do exactly what that executive order says, which is to declassified. So we're not going to be siloing or holding any information that won't be available to the American people.

So this is all going to be out there. You will be able to go through it yourself. It will be online from what I gather similar to how they've declassified previous documents from the SBI and the CIA. So again, we are simply reopening the investigation with new evidence, also bringing in credible witnesses that will be verified and confirmed via House oversight, the committee itself. And we are going to be opening this up to the American people. So you will have access to the same documents that we are looking at. We are just simply ensuring that we are not going to get blockaded or in this information. is not siloed.

Unbelievable. And when do we get to the things? By the way, the answer to, for me, the answer to my first question to you was it's relevant because I think they've been doing this kind of stuff forever and it shows a pattern. If they were doing it in 63, what are they doing now? I just don't think... Go ahead. You know what's interesting is if you ask those questions, there are some people.

And to be clear, these people largely exist in the media and they're largely, in my opinion, bad actors. But when you have someone that instead of answering the question and having a respectful dialogue, right, to discredit something as a conspiracy theory or tries to gaslight you into thinking that you should not be asking the question, that's when you know that they're hiding something, right? So in my opinion, you have, I've talked to many Democrats, many well-known Democrats that are just like we want in on this commission or on this task force because we have questions and it just doesn't sit right with, look, this entire task force, I don't believe that this would be possible had President Trump not gotten into office, had our CIA director not been

confirmed, had there not been people placed in positions of power that are true ideologues like you and I. You know, to be clear, I think that also Marco Rubio is going to play a part at the Secretary of State's office. I think that, you know, there are going to be many people in some of these investigations that will at least give us access to whatever information. Look, we've asked to declassify everything that I listed. in that press conference. COVID-19 origins, 9-11 files. I mean, look at what just came out yesterday. We find out that the FBI was what basically ordering lunch for someone that was working with the pilots that crashed the planes into the Twin Towers. I mean, that's ridiculous. And that's all just coming out now.

And so that's why we asked these questions on the 9-11 files. How could have it prevented? How much did the government truly know? I mean, look, I could care less if people think I'm crazy for doing this. I can tell you that I'm joined by many high-profile people in Congress to include Democrats that have the same questions. And so we're not going to stop. Jeffrey Epstein? When's that coming out? Well, I have a letter out to Pam Bondi.

I know that Cash has been supportive of it. And so hopefully, once they're confirmed previously, they said that the Epstein list could not be released. This is, mind you, under Biden Department of Justice, because there was an open case, right? And that's what they kept pointing to. But you're even hearing that Pam Bondi, even before she was confirmed that she was actually calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein client list. So we are pushing for it. We've sent the...

Go ahead. Will Pam and Cash be the ones to make the decision? We're going to release it, or does it have... They will be the ones. Yes, they'll be the ones. Again, I'm going off of what we were told in previous administrations, but look, they were saying that there was an open investigation. So I believe that Pam has the authority to release that.

And look, I don't believe that any of that should have been classified. If there are people that were doing bad things, we should know about it. It's unbelievable. I mean, radical transparency. It is the only thing that will heal our nation is if we deal with all of the corruption that we've been dealing with, that we know has happened. And if we can get an honest look, you know, maybe the Warren Commission was right. I don't know. But we should be able to know that and look at evidence for us.

yourself, yes. All of the evidence, all of the evidence without protecting anybody. Anna, thank you. It's got to be, I mean, what is, what was it like to be, did you get the call from the president? And, I mean, how did this work? So initially, in full transparency, this was actually supposed to, the task force looked a little bit different. And I chose to expand it because even our investigator said, you know, there's a lot here for truly our absolute objection. is to begin, you know, restoring trust in the relationship with the American people. We have to go into these, you know, different theories, go into these cases and investigate and actually find the truth and then let the American people decide. And I agree with them. But also, Glenn, I think there was two other members that were potentially going to be taking over the initial task force. And they turned it down because there was a climate of fear that

it was considered dangerous territory. And what I will tell you is, I do not believe that it's dangerous territory because we have, you know, the 800-pound girl in the White House and our allies and the intelligence agencies that are pushing for this transparency. So it's not just one person.

I think where you had, you know, previous historical events that occurred, it was one person that was leading out the charge. But when it's a group effort pushing for this, it's a systematic change that occurs. And so, in my opinion, I think I'm going to be okay. but, you know, a lot of people, I had a reporter that called me actually a very well-known reporter from Fox News yesterday said, you know, it's interesting, but a lot of the people, one of the initial reporters that had reported that there were three shots heard at the JFK assassination, one of the prize for writing, and he actually committed suicide several years later. So, you know, stuff like that has happened in the past, and I just, I'm in the perspective and belief that right now we have a very small window of time to bring true change. You see everything. happening with USAID.

Mike Benz is uncovering a lot. Elon Musk is uncovering a lot, but there's a lot of good people that are really cleaning the system. You saw, what, 40,000 federal employees resign, or not resign, but chose to leave the workforce. So you're seeing a big change happen, and I'm not saying that this is a, you know, complete fix, but it definitely is going to change, I think, our country long-term and historically, and I'll also tell you this, Glenn.

Yesterday after we made the announcement, I saw a massive orchestrated campaign, specifically coming from a lot of other pages that had typically been political on social media that were trying to discredit what I was saying about potential witnesses and trying to spin it. And the reason why they were doing it is because the Warren Commission presented a faulty theory on the single bullet, the magic bullet theory, to think that that was how Kennedy was taken out and then hit the Texas governor. I mean, that's a whole thing. But they were saying nobody's alive. So who are you going to?

Not true. Well, first of all, I wasn't necessarily saying I was using the Warren Commission as an example of the commissions that had been set up or the hearings that had been set up. But who were, we are actually looking to subpoena. I don't want to say their names yet. We're not going to even. Yeah, yeah. No, no. No. No. Don't. Um, are individuals that A. were at, are at the FESTA in the room during the 8 p.m. autopsy that the military did. individuals that were on the assassination board that did not agree with the findings initially and with the due evidence coming out, I think that they are going to make great witnesses, and plus they were government employees, so they should pass backgrounds. And then there's another individual who's going to be very key, and I think resetting the narrative on Kennedy.

Interesting. Anna, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Just know, and you sound like you are. You know exactly what you're walking into. There's a new stat out this morning. Over three times more people in D.C. are Googling criminal defense lawyer than anywhere else in the U.S. right now. So you got a lot of people who are freaking out. Keep up the good work. God bless you. Thank you. Thank you for your support. You bet. I'm excited. I'm really excited about that. Let me tell you about the sponsor this half hour, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Donald Trump, thank God.

is standing behind Benjamin and Yahoo and the Israeli people. What are we going to see in the next few days? I don't know. I'd like to see if we get Jason on here in a minute to talk about the pretty strong threat that the president made yesterday, that Saturday's a deadline. A lot of Jews in Israel are still suffering. They're still hostages. There are still people that are losing their loved ones in the military,

people that are still struggling to put their life back together after October 7th.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Stu, what do you think of that? When Anna and Pauline

just said. It's interesting. I don't know. I mean, who knows what we find, right? I don't see why we wouldn't be able to know the information at this point, especially on some of these older, you know, deals. But that is, I've heard many times that this is going to happen and it hasn't happened yet. So I think it's one of those things. I'm just going to wait and see if they actually are able to produce this information. I mean, obviously Trump was already in office for four years, kind of promised it the first time, had some restrictions or whatever he felt he couldn't do it in the first term. It feels like he can this time. But again, we're going into commission land. We're going into congressional approval land. And all that stuff.

No, we're not. That's not what she said. When I asked her about, you know, can Cash and Pam be the ones that just released the list? She said, yeah. She did. She did. She did. But she also, you know, they are also coming up with a plan to release it. And I don't know. She feels like every time you get into that sort of world, nothing ever happened. So we'll see. hopeful, but I'm not going to hold my breath at this point. Trust yet verify, yada, yada, yada, okay, Stu. Tonight on the Wednesday night special, I'm in Miami at WIOD, and we have Patrick Bet David in his studio in Miami,

We keep him around because he brings the money in from USAID and the DOD. How are you, Jason? I thought you were to say aficionado. That's what I was hoping for. So, too big of a word. The conversation we just had with Anna Paulina Luna, she did say there that it's going to be the ones responsible so the agencies will do it.

So, you know, Cash Patel, I know he said over the summer, he's like, I'd release that right away. And I think he's going to. If he can get confirmed, tomorrow he's got to get out of committee. They're trying all kinds of, you know, stupid games with the Democrats. They don't want him in, clearly, because they're going to be the ones prosecuting. Tulsi Gabbard was just, right, Stu? Wasn't she just confirmed? Yes.

They're technically saying she's on track to be confirmed, but yes, she's going to be confirmed here. Yeah. So that's really good news. Huge. Really good news. So what are you thinking about? the radical transparency. How much is that going to change things? I think we'll find out. I think we'll see if it really is radical transparency.

I feel like we've played this song and dance before. That's why when we hear about new committees that are going to be, you know, erected to... My heart sank when I heard that yesterday. Commission a study that will be, you know, going on and go to die. Exactly. I don't think that's what this administration's all about. No. But I think we're rightly so the entire country is on edge to look for this bull crap when it comes up. Yeah, well, she said that their job is not to delay it.

It's to make sure that every piece is coming out about it and that nobody is trying to thwart that. And I think that's fantastic. We have to be really careful, like on the Jeffrey Epstein thing. I don't know. They say they're going to release the client list. Well, what does that mean? The clients that went to the island, the clients that were signing up for massages, or just people he was meeting with. You know, I want all the bad guys to go to jail, but I also, I don't want to get into a witch hunt situation.

Exactly. And that's what we started to see when some of the names were getting released from, you know, court documents. They were like, oh my gosh, another one on the list. And I'm like, guys, they went to a party, you know, or something like that that probably had no idea who Jeffrey Epstein even was. Yeah. I don't want to see a French Revolution like, get them! All of them! Yeah. You know, like, I don't want to see that. But if it's client list, that's a whole other ballgame. Yeah, I'd like to see what that means.

Define client list. Yeah. And then, but I mean, boy, wouldn't you be sweating if you were a client of his? Oh, my gosh. I mean, I want to see government names on client lists. Me too. That's what I want to see. I want to see Bill Clinton.

Or the director of the CIA, which we know had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, come on. Like, why? Why did that happen? What's that all about? Let's get Dershowitz on tomorrow. See if he'll talk about it. Because I'd like to hear what he thinks the definition is and how many people, what's to do. I mean, Dershowitz, I don't know how he's going to feel about the Epstein files, considering he was accused of all sorts of things. I know. Well, but that's why I think he'd have an interesting perspective. He was cleared, by the way of this. You know, she said she didn't, wasn't a,

entirely sure it was him, which is quite an admission after multiple years of accusations. Yeah. But she, but, but, but he knows what it's like to be wrongly accused. So what is the story on who's on this list and how, you know, like, like Jason just said, I, I don't want to see, you know, guillotines rolled out into the streets. And, you know, we need justice on this kind of stuff. the JFK thing, Stu, does it matter to you? Sure, it matters.

I mean, I want history to be, I want to know the truth about what's happened in our country. So yeah, definitely matters. I'm a bit skeptical. We're going to find some big, you know, 19th shooter in these documents. You don't think there were 19 shooters? I think there's only 18. I think it's quite clear at this point. There's only 18 shooters.

And they were all, you know, they were all in the, on the grassy knoll together. Jason, what do you think? In one big coat. I think it establishes pattern of behavior, first and foremost. And so I absolutely think that it's important to know what's happening because we still see that stuff happening now, or at least we think about it. We think about 9-11.

Why was the CIA working with like the Saudis, not informing the FBI about, you know, what they were doing in the country, some of these 9-11 hijackers? That seems like kind of a big story. I want the Sandy Burger thing. explained. You remember, he went in to the National Archives and took things out about the Bushes and the Clintons out of the National Archives. And he was caught, but he destroyed those documents before they captured him. And then only spent a year on a naughty list. You can't have your national security back for 12 months. That's it? If I went into the National Archives and I took

papers, would I really just get a slap on the hand? I want to know what he took. Right. And then there's other parts of the JFK thing that just don't make sense. Like, we know that some of these files that might get released in this next dump might be, I can't remember the name of the guy, but he was like a station chief in Miami. Yeah. Like, why is there a station chief, a CIA station chief in Miami? Is this Miami Czechoslovakia? Well, or Miami Poland? I would say that it was for Cuba. Okay. All right. But I mean, shouldn't that be an FBI station in Miami? I I don't know. If there's a law that says you cannot operate in the United States, I kind of think you should be followed. Okay, all right. You got me on that. You got me on that. Yeah. So, you know, have you seen the gun that my friend just reproduced for a museum?

Incredible. It's incredible, isn't it? Yeah. And it's, it almost looks like a toy gun, doesn't it? It's small. I think it's, is it Russian made or I can't remember. It's, we'll have more on it. I'll get back to the, in fact, do we happen to have it there? Stu, you have it. Yeah, I have it right here. Got it from the museum? Look at that thing. Yep. So that's the Oswald gun.

Can you read anything on it? Is it American made? Italian. Italian made. Okay. And Stu, just put it like you're going to shoot it and look through the scope. Now, that's exactly the scope. This is exactly the same gun from the same era.

Everything about it is exact. to Lee Harvey Oswald's gun. And we'll have to take this out to the firing range. Because... I can't see anything in there. Right? Well, you ever used a scope before? Oh, there I am. I can see my foot in my own face. Yeah. Okay, good. Good.

It's a little scary. Okay, you're not a good example. But it is... It's a very small scope. It's very, very small. Yes. You know, and if you're used to scopes, you know, then you'd get used to it. But, boy, to be able to take the bolt action, eject the other, put the new one in, down, and shoot even twice. I don't think he could have done it.

He would have been taught to fire with iron sights in Marine Corps boot camp, and that's what he would have trained on. So I don't know the practice he actually had looking through scopes, but I'm very curious. Like, I want to fire this thing and see speed. I want to see speed and accuracy, especially between, like, two different shooters to see, like, how accurate this thing is. I'm a better shot than you are.

That's very disputable. I don't think it's disputable at all, Jason. Disputable. Yeah, yeah, I'm a Marine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. I don't know how you got, how they ever issued you a gun,

but that's a different. Plus, I don't want to think we would want to bring up Jason's recent firing of weapons after the military in foreign lands. There's some stories there that we don't want to get into here on the program. Yeah, I would just keep that one to yourself, Stu. Isn't that amazing to say?

hold that gun? Yeah, it does not seem. I mean, look, I remember going to the book depository here in Dallas. And looking at the shot. And again, I, you know, I'm not, I'm no, I'm no Mark's been as has been well covered on this program. But it didn't seem like you could, it did not seem like it would be easy, particularly with a gun like this. I mean, it seems like, now, of course, you fire a gun in a general direction of someone. You could get lucky, right? I mean, it's possible. It's not impossible. but it seemed like a really difficult shot and I don't know that he was was he that good?

Was he that highly trained? He was a sharpshooter, wasn't he? Jason? I don't remember. I, we should look it up. I don't remember. I thought he had experience. Training, right?

Yeah, training. But still, it's a lot to add. I mean, it does not look like an easy shot. It's a moving target. I mean, not quickly, but moving. Every once in a while I talk to someone who is like, you know, someone who shoots a lot and really understands the stuff and is like,

You could make the shot. You could make the shot. It's not impossible. I think you could make the shot. You could make one, I think. You could make it. And you could hit your target, I think. Three shots? I don't, you know, I find that hard to believe. If my memory serves me correctly, they did this with the Warren Commission, and they had the best snipers try to do it, and they couldn't recreate the shot. They couldn't get the shot. Three shots off. Couldn't do it. I mean, you can look out, when you go to visit that museum, you can stand and look out a window that's two windows, I think, away from where he shot from. So you can really get an idea.

It's pretty amazing. It again would be really difficult to pull off. You know who he should bring to the range, Jason? My wife. Seriously, she's the best. Do you laugh at that? Oh, I'm telling her. Oh, no, I've seen.

Because we'll shoot Skeet. And you're like, we're hitting one, missing one, hitting one. You launched like five and Tanya's all do do do do do. I'm really good. We had three guys from the military, me and a couple of other guys that weren't in the military. We were all trying to hit Tannerite with iron sights. I don't remember how many yards away. And we're trying to hit it.

And like, no, no, one pull each. And all of us came so close. And she's like, give me the gun. Were you there? No, I was a little. She, boom, boom, blows up. I mean, she's a great shot. And seeing the gun hasn't been fired since the 1960s, maybe we should try it with somebody else first.

Right. You go first. Oh, I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming. We'll take that out. Maybe Monday. Can we do that? Sounds good.

Let's go out Monday and we'll just put it up. We'll just live stream it or something online firing the Lee Harvey Oswald rifle. Could it be done? All right. Let me tell you about relief factor. Relief factor. I've been willing to say this since Sunday evening for Stu. The Chiefs actually won. He is still there on the field. Mahomes is, I mean, he's about, he's about to clean your clock. Really? Yeah. Because he always waits till the very last minute. Yeah. And we're really there. We're really there at this point. So, you know, we all know the Eagles bride the refs. And the Eagles didn't. Well known for that, yeah.

Yeah, right. But, you know, we'll be back next year and we'll win bigly next year because the Super Bowl stew is too big to rig. You know what I'm saying? There I said it. Okay. Let me tell you about being butt hurt. If you're really butt hurt from the loss of your team, relief factor won't help you. It won't help you at all.

However, if you're, you know, sore and well, I can't say that it doesn't help your butt, but I don't think it's for butt hurt. But too many butts in this sentence.

Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch. Saving those children is how we all go home. From Binge All Episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. Triple-8-727, B-E-C-K is the phone number. It is the Glenn Beck program. We were talking a little bit all day basically about a bunch of stuff that's in the media and swirling around and people are going crazy. They're trying to go after Elon Musk. They're trying to go after Donald Trump.

They're doing what they do in the media. And there's no surprise there. It's obviously something you expect. They're also freaking out constantly over everything that Donald Trump says. And whether it's, you know, he's going to buy Gaza and turn it into a resort or. or he's going to buy Greenland, or he's going to take the Panama Canal, or whatever that thing is that he brings up on a day-to-day basis. The media must freak out about it. They'll start talking about constitutional crisis.

That's their new keyword, by the way, constitutional crisis. If you have that in your drinking game, you're hammered at this point. I think they said it about 200 times on CNN in just the last 24 hours. Is it a constitutional crisis? No. I mean, could it turn into one? who knows. And that's what I feel like

happens all the time in the Trump era. This is what the media in the Trump era is completely out of control because they can't put anything in perspective. They act as if they've never been here before.

You know, I don't know. Is Donald Trump going to make Canada the 51st state? I feel like it's unlikely. Is he saying it just because he thinks it's fun to say? I don't think so. There's more to it than that.

It's Donald Trump. Yes, he's troll. Trudeau. Yes, that's part of it. But it's also part of a negotiation. And the key thing for us to remember, this is not the key thing for Trudeau to remember. It's not a key thing for Mexico to remember or the people Hamas to remember. Because a lot of these things are real. And he's negotiating with them over all of this, right? He's saying to Hamas, give me these soldier or give me these prisoners back or all hell's going to break loose. That's a threat.

It's a negotiation as well. And what's important to remember is he's not negotiating with you. This goes for the media as well, something they can remember every once in a while. He's not negotiating with you. He's negotiating for something else that he wants. And you could sit here and freak out every single time he says something. Or he can be an adult and realize that Donald Trump has some sort of plan here. You don't always know where it's going, but he's got some sort of plan.

Stop worrying about what Donald Trump says and look at what he does. For example, this is just from Bill Malugan. Border crossings at the southern border are down 93% down to just 132 per day. This would be less than half of any year since 2010 and about a quarter of a year of any, of most, years since 2010. And of course, way, way less 93% down from Joe Biden's last couple of years. That's what he's doing. Stop worrying about what he's saying. This is Glenn Beck.
