Episode Date: October 16, 2026

Glenn monologues on how banks are quietly denying services to customers who hold "controversial" political beliefs, labeling them "reputational risks." Glenn warns that this is the beginning of Marxism, as unelected persons are given massive power over everyday Americans, and also gives advice on how you can fight back against this. Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter joins to discuss why President Trump's DOJ is suing California over the number of noncitizens allegedly on California voter rolls. Elon Musk unveiled his latest invention, a merger between Tesla and SpaceX: the Roadster, a flying car. Teacher Freedom Alliance CEO Ryan Walters joins to discuss how teachers' unions often protect teachers accused of grooming and abusing their students.

Glenn calls out members of his staff who happen to find certain socialist politicians attractive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Election Day doesn't clear your calendar for you. It'd be nice if it did. Unfortunately, you still have to go to work. The kids still have to get to someplace and somebody else might get sick or the car won't start. And that super important meeting runs long. None of those things care that this was the day you planned on voting. So don't build a plan that only works if everything goes right. Early voting is available everywhere.

If it's available where you live, find out when it starts. Know where you need to go. Look at your calendar. Pick a day when you can actually get it done. because voting is important enough to treat it like something you intend to do, not something you hope you'll have time to do. Go to go to gopvotes.org right now, find out when you can vote. Make your voice heard. It's easier than ever.

Get the election reminders. Look up your polling location and pick a date to go vote early. Go to gopvotes.org today. That's gopvotes.org. Do it. Before we say anything, it's Friday. Welcome. Glad you're here.

We've got a lot to talk about today. We've got some breaking news. We have the Deputy Attorney General on in just a little while. He's going to talk about what's happening in Florida. It's an exclusive why the DOJ is suing California over non-citizens on their voter rolls. That's coming up. You won't hear that anyplace else. Something else you won't hear anyplace else.

Yesterday, an update on what I told you about yesterday. about the, oh, the wonderful, wonderful banking system and our federal government and how they have been tracking people. I have an update on that and a serious one. So we've got that coming up. Don't, don't miss that. We'll do that here in just a second. And I want to start with, I think the future is here. The future is now. When I was growing up, we were promised a few things. We were promised fat pills and flying cars. We have the fat pill. And apparently now, we have the flying car. Talk about that coming up in just a second.

First, let me tell you about Mercury 1. There's a terrible lie that people are starting believing in this country, and it is that ordinary people cannot make a difference anymore, that the problems are just too big, the institutions are too powerful, and the best you can do is watch everything fall apart. I reject that completely, and I have 15 years of proof. 15 years ago, we started Mercury 1 with a really simple belief that when good people are given the opportunity to do something extraordinary,

they will. Do you realize that this audience has saved far more people than Oscar Schindler saved in World War II? You have saved Christians and Jews and Yazidis from being killed far more than

Oscar Schindler ever did. You know that. The world doesn't know that, but you should know that. And it's all through Mercury 1. Through our American Journey experience, you're helping preserve the history that the next generation desperately needs to understand. We're celebrating 15 years with a special anniversary gala.

It is happening next Saturday, a week from tomorrow. We have some tickets that we've made available for $250. I would love to see you there. Please, my wife and I are going to be hosting, and we will welcome you personally. We would love to meet you and say hello and say thank you. This helps us continue through 2027. It pays our light bills and everything else.

Get your tickets now at mercury one.org. That's Mercury1.org. We'll see you Saturday. All righty. So yesterday, I told you what the banks were doing. Yesterday, I told you that the DOJ had released some information that looks like the banks were targeting people through the federal regulators.

They were targeting people that were, you know, buying MAGA hats, red MAGA hats. You bought a MAGA hat. You were on a list with the federal government. And you could lose your bank account. they were tracking about 700,000 people in America. It is the worst abuse of the Constitution I have ever seen in my lifetime. And I told you this is not something that you should care about as a conservative or a liberal or an independent.

You should care about this because you're an American. This has got to stop because it will fall into somebody's hands, either the left or the right or the middle. It doesn't matter. somebody who is craven for power, if this is not punished, we lose our republic and we lose it quickly. So yesterday I told you that I have a friend, a banker friend, who is a vice president with U.S. Bank. And I called him, and I got an email back from him right away. And I didn't have a chance because I was in recording all day yesterday until about 6 o'clock last night. And so I didn't get a chance to talk to him.

I'm going to hopefully talk to him today. I'll have more hopefully on Monday, but Ricky spoke to him and went back and forth in the email, and he said, look, consumer, this is on background. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for decades has reached out to the banks when they're investigating crimes. This happens throughout the years hundreds of times. They warned them subpoena records and let them know that they need to stop activity or they will be fine. 2025, they were doing this with conservative groups, but interspersed with hundreds of other times that they reached out. Banks were not aware, conservative groups were being targeted. They thought this was business as usual. In those

instances, banks are told under the investigation for financial crimes, publicized regulatory agencies using the power of government to enforce their beliefs. Banks would never be given details of the alleged crimes, but these were happening along with hundreds of other legit ones. Banks weren't catching on that it was political. And as you can imagine, things like that have strict bank policies on how to handle those to stay compliant. People doing that from the regulators, doing that in the regulators' positions should be in prison. Okay, so that was the, that was just the quick, you know, update from my bank.

And he said, please call me, and I didn't have a chance to call him. So I'm going to get some more from them. Now, this guy, I know this guy quite well. and he is just as upset about this as I am. Now, I want to tell you some good news today, some really good news, but this is going to require your help. And it's going to require the help of the banks to do it as well. Yesterday I told you this is about reputational risk.

What is that? Well, let me tell you what it is not anymore. Despite the lack of coverage, the federal government took the word reputational risk away from those people who regulate our banks. In April, a rule went into effect. Regulators can no longer punish a bank over something called reputational risk. They can no longer pressure your bank to close your account because of your politics or your faith or your speech or any other thing that is legal that Washington doesn't like. Then in June, the Fed, the FDIC, and the comptroller of the currency,

went through their guidance on lending, risk management, even cybersecurity, and struck the term out of every federal document. They put the reason in writing. They said, quote, reputational risk can be misused by supervisors to push banks into cutting off people and legal businesses over constitutionally protected beliefs.

That is the government. admitting what the government did. This is the answer to the cancer. Reputational risk is the idea that banks should decide who gets to be a customer based partly on what that customer may or may not believe in. And what that customer may believe might make the bank look bad. Who's it going to make it look bad to? The federal government. because the federal government says,

you know what, we think carbon is really bad. We think fossil fuels are really bad. We think red hats are really bad. And so if you loan to those people, we'll punish you because that's not creating a beautiful and equitable society. All right. Nobody wants their bank, you know, financing a crime ring, but these aren't crime rings, okay?

a bank is supposed to judge you on questions with answers. Do you pay back the loan? Yes or no. Do you have collateral? Yes or no? You know, is your business making money? Yes or no? Show us your books.

Can you prove these things in your book? Yes or no. You can't prove your reputation to somebody who has already decided they don't like you. How is the oil and gas industry going to prove their reputation to a bank? when the federal government has already said, no, we don't like oil and gas. Well, I'm sorry, you may not like it, but it's legal. But as long as there's reputational risk for the bank,

if the government says we don't like that, and you're going to put your reputation at risk with us, they can find them. So there's no number. There's no standard. There's no appeal to any of this. Reputation is whatever the person holding the clipboard says it is. And when the person that is holding the clipboard is a federal examiner for the banks who can make your bank's life absolutely miserable, the bank gets the message without anybody having to write a law.

And that was the genius of it. And it came from the W.E.F. Congress never voted to cut off gun dealers. Congress never voted to starve oil and gas. No senator stood up and said, let's make it hard for a Christian charity to keep a checking account. Nobody had to. It's run by bureaucrats. This is Woodrow Wilson's dream come true. This is the progressive way of governance. You want Marxism? This is it. You don't elect these people. You don't even know who the regulators are. You don't know who's office to call. An examiner would just ask, are you sure this customer is worth the risk to your reputation? That's a threat. and the banker who has a family, has a mortgage, has a boss, has shareholders, knows exactly what that question means. Then came ESG, and ESG took that soft lever and bolted a motor to it. The biggest banks in America signed on to a global climate alliance backed by the United Nations. That's where your financial institutions come in. They signed on to this. they knew what they were doing

and they built scores, ESG scores, climate scores, social scores, and suddenly reputation had paperwork. It had a spreadsheet. It looked like science. But it was the same question. Do we like you or not?

If you drill for oil, you're a risk. If you made rifles, you were a risk. If you bought a red hat, you were a risk. You ran the wrong kind of charity or said the wrong thing on a podcast, you were a risk. Not a risk to the bank's money. A risk to the bank standing with the people who will never deposit a dime in any of their banks.

That's a velvet rope. And it never slams the door. It just quietly never lets you in. Your loan gets slower. Your terms get worse. Your account gets reviewed. And one day, a letter arrived saying, your relationship with the bank no longer fits the bank's risk appetite.

No reason, no hearing. 30 days, move your money. This is the way it happened in Germany. I warn you, this is what happened in Germany with the Jews. People think that censorship is taking your microphone. In a modern economy, the fastest way to silence somebody is make sure that they can't pay anybody. No payroll, no rent, no card processing. You say anything you want. You just can't stay in business if you say it.

And it's not because the people reject you. It's because the unelected bureaucrats have decided you can't stay in business. Okay, so this is good news, actually. This is really good news. Don't celebrate, but it's good news. And here's why. The Trump administration signed an executive order to stop all of this. And they went in and they removed all of the language.

but a rule written by one administration can be erased by the next administration. An executive order can be reversed with a signature, and the banks still have their own policies, their own pledges, their own alliances. Taking the clipboard away from the examiner doesn't erase what the boardroom learned. Fair access to banking act has been kicking around Congress for years now. It would make this protection law. real law, the kind that doesn't change when the White House does. And that's what needs to happen.

Until that passes, your access to your own money is only as safe as the next election. And I warn you, you think that the Democrats, the Republicans did nothing and, oh, well, the Democrats won't pass it. Let me tell you something. Or the Republicans won't pass it. The Democrats will pass the opposite of this. They were the ones that did this to your bank in the first place. So if you're thinking, well, I don't need to vote for the Republicans. They piss me off.

Well, at least you'd have two more years. You'd have two more years of at least trying to get something done. Because if you put a Congress that is a Democrat and a Senate that is Democrat, there is no chance in hell your protection is coming. None. Zero. There's something you can do today that doesn't require anyone in. Washington. And that's this. Know where your money sleeps at night. Ask your bank what alliances it has joined. Ask whether it is ever closed an account over politics or faith. I will tell you

that they will say no. Look at the local bank or the credit union down the street, the one where the loan officer knows your name and keeps your loan instead of selling it to a committee in another time zone. That's really important and you can find those banks. A free person. A free person, is judged by what he does, not by who is upset about it. And that goes for your bank. And it goes for your neighbor. And it goes for you the next time you're tempted to write to somebody or write them off because the crowd has written them off. Right now, the clipboard is wrong.

Because of Donald Trump, right now, make sure it stays gone. There's your update on the bank. for today. Now, I want to talk to you about flying cars. Let me first take 60 seconds. Chapter. There is a reason car salesmen want you to buy, you know, the car before you leave the lot. The longer you have to consider your options, the more likely you are to ask questions. And questions aren't always good for the person who's trying to sell you something. Now, Medicare, open enrollment has begun. And if you're eligible for Medicare, you're going to hear a lot of people telling you to act fast, act fast. I'm telling you that no, no, no, no. Act smart. That's why I recommend.

Their licensed Medicare advisors help you compare your options without pushing you towards one particular plan. And right now, demand is so high that even after tripling their advisor capacity, Chapter is experiencing longer wait times. This is an amazing company. I've been talking about since they started. This company was started by a couple of guys in Silicon Valley who saw their parents ripped off because these Medicare advisors were just trying to push them into. you know, the thing that they were selling. And they realized our parents have just lost all this money. They can't afford their Medicaid and their Medicare and they can't afford the prescription

drugs and they can't see the doctors they need to see. And they got pissed. And they were like, okay, we're going to do something about it. So they put together a proprietary system. It can check every single provider. It can check every, all coverage. So they talk to you and they find out. who your doctors are, what your problems are, what your medication is, and then they find the

right plan for you. The average person is saving, I think, $1,100 every year. Dial pound 250, keyword chapter. They're the only ones that can do this. Pound 250, keyword chapter, act now before you're left overpaying for the wrong coverage for another year. Pound 250, chapter, 10-second station ID. Grace, an insider, Grace just wrote, Glenn, did you close your account with U.S. Bank? No, I just told you. I reached out to U.S. Bank and I asked them for an explanation, and I'm going to have another conversation with him. I have done banking with this company, and I really have looked at banks long and hard.

And I trust this guy. He is very well aware of it. I just gave you his answer just a minute ago. And I'm going to have another conversation with him tomorrow, or I mean today, and probably next week again. I'm not going to act hastily and I don't recommend that you do either. Do your own homework. Find out what your bank believes. Find out what your bank is doing about it. Now, the reason why you don't have to pull your money is what I just told you. Don't, first of all, when you walk into your local bank, do not accuse your local bank for doing anything.

your local people have no idea about any of this. I'm not even sure. I'm not sure even at Citibank and J.P. Morgan, how many people up at the very top are aware of all of the ins and outs of this. This was the top of the financial community, and I think they did it in Paris. Jason, correct me if I'm wrong. I think they did this in Paris.

They got together a few days before the class, Accord in Paris. This is why Donald Trump was like, we're out of the Paris Accords. That was a financial deal. And it was done with all of the financial tippity top leaders back in the mid-2000s. And they put it all together. And then everything was built off of them. So the financial sector had something to do with it.

Your local banker doesn't probably know any of this. as my guy said at U.S. Bank, he's like, Glenn, I can tell you, I can promise you, we don't know, we get all of these things in. It says, we need this information, we need this information, we need information, we need information. He's like, we didn't, we weren't told it was because of hats. We were told an investigation is going on. We need these records. So there is a, there is a communication breakdown that we have to figure out and solve. I will tell you, I want a bank.

who is standing up and saying, America, help us pass this law. The president just signed it in. If you want this to stop, then you have to get Congress and the Senate to pass this law. Right now, none of this is happening. And I have to tell you, we're going to talk to in just a second.

We're talking to Trent McConnor. he is the acting deputy attorney general. So he's number two at the DOJ. I'm going to talk to him about California and what they're doing in California with the non-citizens on the voter rolls, but I'm going to ask him this too. I have to tell you,

I think people are going to go to jail on this. I do think people are going to go to jail on this. So that is good news. You need to be aware and you need to start doing your own homework. But the most important thing you can do, God, I hate saying this, is call your freaking senator and your congressman and tell them, you want this executive order to be codified.

More in a minute. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's real estate agents, I trust. Never confuse a good price with a good deal. You can buy a used car for $500. You can feel like a genius right up until the transmission falls out onto the highway. you can get a great deal on a vacation rental and then discover the Ocean View advertised

requires you to stand on the toilet and lean out the window with binoculars. Sometimes what you don't know ends up costing you the most, and that's especially true in real estate because the price of a house is only part of the equation. There's the condition of the property, the neighborhood, the market, the negotiations.

You know, I have to tell you, I had a real estate agent to help us buy a house in Florida. and she knew exactly what was going to be built in our area. You know, five years down the road, she's like, yeah, you know, there's things that are going on, they're going to change the neighborhoods. That's the kind of person you need.

Real estate agents, I trust.com. We'll show you how to buy or sell a home, even in a tough market. That real estate agent was Lisa True, and she's part of this network. Real estate agents, I trust.com. Real estate agents, I trust.com. Go there now. We'll show you how you can buy or sell a house even in this tough market. Coming up, John Solomon was probably right. The DOJ is kicked into high speed and an exclusive interview with Glenn.

They'll tell us why they're coming down hard on California. Stay with us next on the Glenn Beck program. Jason just went through something with the insiders that is so important. And I'll go over it if I have time today, but probably on Monday. I'll have more information on the banks. But I just asked you, I said, make sure you know what they have aligned with, your banks. What have they joined? The question you want to ask your bank is, are you, did you sign on and are you a member of PCAF? This is a private partnership for carbon accounting financials. This is what the DOJ, this is what we have found out, and I hope the DOJ is all over this. This is what we found out.

This is part of it that it lets them go and say, hey, I can't, you've got a maga hat. You know, you're an oil company. I can't finance you because of reputational risk. It's a private organization. It has nothing to do with the government. The ones in the United States that are with this for sure, Bank of America, amalgamated bank, and Morgan Stanley Investment Bank. Those three in America.

United Kingdom and Europe is riddled with them. So is Asia Pacific. But there's three here in America that we know. Ask your bank. Are you part of the PCAF? If so, you might want to consider moving your money because it's in danger until this executive order is codified. Okay, I have Trent McConnor on. He is the acting deputy attorney general.

I am expecting big things out of the DOJ and I'm already starting to see them. And I have a feeling a lot of stuff is coming our way. And thank God, finally, our DOJ is moving. Trent, welcome to the program. I'm so glad you're here. I want to talk to you about California. and what is happening in California. You guys just put a list of more than 20,000 names that you say are non-citizens or likely non-citizens who got mail ballots.

You gave the state of California 48 hours. Tell me about this situation and how confident are you that the list will move fast enough before the election. Well, thanks for having me. Yeah, California is the worst of the worst when it comes to allowing illegals to vote. So you referenced the letter I sent a couple of days ago. we've actually been in talks with California for months now. We've practically begged them to help us clean up their voter role. As you say, we've got tens of thousands of names that we believe to be illegal voters. We sent that to them, and you won't believe this. Their response to that was that

they wouldn't open the encrypted drive we sent them for network security issues they claimed. So it's kind of ironic. They care a little bit more about the integrity of their network, not about the integrity of their voting role. It's unbelievable. So they wouldn't open, wait, you wouldn't, they wouldn't open up what you, you sent them because they thought maybe you were trying to hack them? Is that what? I think. Yeah, something like that.

Yeah, we sent them an encrypted drive. They wrote back and said, we won't open it because we're not sure it's secure. I mean, at this point, you know, they take willful blindness to a new level. Wow. So you're not asking them to purge the roles. What are you asking them to do? So we asked the court, now that we filed our lawsuit, to say that the individuals that are on this list, that their votes should be set aside just temporarily to confirm whether they're citizens.

This happens all the time in other contexts in elections. You know, you might cast a provisional ballot, a provisional ballot, for example. We'll wait and see, okay, are you allowed to do that? Oh, you are? Okay, good. Now we'll count the ballot. Oh, wait, no, you're not. Okay, well, in that case, we won't. So we're not trying to strike votes or anything like that. It's just give us a little time to confirm these people are citizens.

And remember, in California, they don't give us the election results until like six months after the fact anyway. So there should be plenty of time for this to happen. The DHS floated a number that was almost up, I think it was like 190 or 200,000 voters. What happened between the number of 190 and 20,000? Well, so we're being conservative here. This is kind of our floor.

These are the ones that were the most confident about, the ones where we feel like they're going to come back and say, yep, pretty much everyone on this list, not a citizen. Because we didn't want them to, of course, raise that kind of process objection. Okay. What happens? I mean, it's going to court. It's a California court. I mean, what's going to happen there? Right. It's a California court and the L.A. district. And we're going to move quickly on this one for obvious reasons. And so we're going to be, as the complaint itself says, we're going to be seeking preliminary relief, trying to get the court to rule quickly and have California not just respond, but of course set aside these ballots. So we can confirm these folks are in fact citizens. What is happening with the, can you even talk about, the cases that you've already done with the, you know, where they were handing out ballots, you know, for homeless people, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, surprise, surprise.

That was also California, right? They had folks in California, you get paid to harvest ballots. You get paid by the ballot. So what do you expect to happen? Oh, of course, that's right. They're going to go out there and fake signatures that they had homeless people signing for other. people who are real voters, and they got caught doing it. That's a criminal case. I think there are three defendants in that case. That's all public. So, you know, they can come in, they can make

their defense, but the allegations are pretty striking. How bad is it in California? It's probably worse than you can imagine, is how I would put it. They are by far the worst from what we can tell because it's a combination of things, right? Like, they won't work with us at all to try to purge non-citizens from their roles. They send ballots to everyone, whether you ask for it or not. So there's a zillions of out there floating around in the ether and the mail. And then they refuse to do anything in terms of state law to ensure that people who are already on the rolls are people who are allowed to be on there. So like perfect storm.

And then when we actually cooperate, try to get them to cooperate, we send them letters, send them demands, they just thumb their nose at it. And so it shouldn't be surprising that they probably have tens of thousands of illegals on their voter rolls. And then those people get ballots. Like ballots are mailed to them. And how does that happen? Is that nefarious or just a mistake?

Well, I think there's some top-down decisions being made here out in California because of how they think that these illegals will vote. And also, some states could claim ignorance. Well, they told us they were a citizen, so we keep them on the list. But in California, that's why we sent them the list, the one that they refused to open, by the way, and say, well, you can't claim ignorance anymore. You know who these people are. We will help you investigate them. The United States government has excellent resources. is available. We've helped dozens of other states clean up their roles. Why is California so obstinate?

Can I ask you about Jack Smith a little bit? Nine FBI people who worked on Jack Smith's classified documents case just sued, saying they got fired in February for nothing more than just being assigned to that case. What's your read on that? Yeah, there's no right to have a government job, right? So I did look at the complaint they filed. I'll be a little careful, I suppose, since it's just a brand new suit. But their argument is that they have a property right in their federal job. Nobody has a property right in their federal job. If you don't do a good job, then you'll get fired. And also this idea that they were retaliated against, I feel like we're being gaslit here. They were retaliated against for the acts against the president of searching his home. Probably the man

has been retaliated against more than anyone else in American history. So there's a little bit of irony there, maybe not a little, probably a lot of irony with them bringing a lawsuit claiming retaliation of all things. So, so Trent, maybe I'm wrong. And I don't even know if you can comment on this. But I feel as though there is a

change in the DOJ. Or maybe you've just guys have been working for, you know, really hard, a long time on a lot of stuff. And you finally have the, the cases that you can file. But I have a feeling that the DOJ is about to,

we're about to see a different. DOJ get really serious about putting people at least in court for a fair trial, if not in jail. Am I reading this right? Is there, is there things, are things bubbling behind the scenes? Absolutely. So it's a little bit of both, to be honest, Glenn. We have been working a lot of these cases for a while now. They take a while to develop. But we've also got a renewed sense of urgency now. Attorney General Todd Blanche, she's a great leader. We cut through the red tape. We cut the delay, we want results, we want movement, and we want cases to go where they should, right? Like we follow the facts, we see what happens, and that means in these cases, a lot of times,

that you might see something happen in the public proceedings. And if something's not there, then okay, we won't go there. We'll spend our time on something else. But when you have that mentality of we only got so much time left, two years and however many days left in the administration, it's a huge motivation. And Attorney General Blanche knows that, and he's got that mentality, and everyone else in the building recognizes it. I am glad to hear that. We've been talking the last couple of days about Jack Smith and the banking stuff. And I hope anyone who is involved in this is going to court.

I hope that there are going to be cases filed on this, and we're not just going to end this again with just a hearing from Congress. Yeah, I mean, I think the Jack Smith team had no limits. we just found out about the phone records being recorded of Susie Wiles of all people, the chief of staff to the president of the United States, one of the most respected people in Washington, D.C. And FBI director Patel has already taken swift action there, but that's just the beginning on that sort of thing.

So I should say we shouldn't be surprised, right, about the bank records, about the, you know, who's buying MAGA hats? They keep records of that sort of thing. We shouldn't be surprised. But yet somehow every day I feel like we learn something new, shocking. And let me go back to California quickly. Are we going to see something before the election? Is there enough time before the election?

Well, we're moving this case as fast as we can. We expect a ruling from the court before the election. And as I said, even if somehow it drags out, California usually doesn't give us results for another month or two anyway. So if we can set aside and segregate these ballots, we should have plenty of time to go through and confirm whether they're citizens or not. I don't know what California is scared of. you know what they're afraid good for you for not saying it i'll say it's they're afraid they're

I've said many times elections are local, but what does that mean? So many Americans walk in and make their choice at the top of the ballot and then they guess down the rest.

You might have listened to that interview and you heard me ask some questions and you're you're probably like, well, that's a stupid question or that's a, what is he saying there? I want to show you how things work. We have the DOJ on about California. That's what they come on to talk about.

And that was the first time that information has been, you know, heard. That was an exclusive interview. So we needed to cover the California thing that was important. but I also wanted to talk about a couple of the other things. Now, you heard me say, you know, I have this feeling. Well, I got this feeling from something that happened later on the show a couple of days ago, three days ago. I had John Solomon on. So I have John on, and he tells me some stuff.

And we immediately reach out to some people who are, you know, sources of ours in the government. and we said, hey, we just found out some stuff. And they were like, yeah, let's not, you know, we're not, nobody's ready to talk about any of that stuff yet. Okay. So I'm asking him to see if he'll go on record. I want you to know what I was talking about. Listen to John Solomon and what he said earlier this week,

just a couple of days ago, on this program. This is good news about the DOJ. Listen. All of a sudden, you've seen north of 100 non-citizens charged with voting. You got a major criminal investigation in New Jersey about maybe systemic non-citizens getting on the board. You've seen some new actions taken to protect our voting machines. The intelligence that we made public was six years old, but nobody ever acted on it until Donald Trump gave his speech. You heard the other day that John Brennan in a court filing said he was told by prosecutors.

He's a target. you only give someone a target notification if they're about to be indicted. I see an awful lot of activity in the grand jury talking to defense lawyers, looking at activity and behavior by James Comey and his inner circle. I didn't see that activity for much of the last first 13 to 14 months of the Trump presidency, except in the FBI. The FBI was always churning, but it seems to me that the Justice Department is in a different gear, and that gear has been kicked in for different reasons.

I understand my questions now. And I have a feeling we're going to be seeing these things soon, sooner rather than later, not before the election, but it's coming. The DOJ has changed. Ricky, do you have any comment on this? Yeah, I'm going to try to be careful. I did have a source inside the government who I spoke to right after your aura ring rant about the government polluting with private industry. the banks basically spying on citizens and I was like what are you guys going to do about this this is crazy what can you do and they were essentially trying to very carefully tell me there is stuff

happening behind the scenes that you don't know about that we try to not tell you because we don't want to jeopardize the case we don't want to tip off the people that they're investigating and they don't want to be perceived as being political ahead of the midterms that um the The news that we know about Brennan right now that you heard from John Solomon is actually a leak. From the deep state inside the DOJ to the media sources, trying to alter the outcome of that case. Trying to prepare people. So when you hear me this today and I'm like, okay, look, the president took care of this. You need to move, you know, with the senators and congressman.

And I sound like I feel like there's some things coming on. it's because I am pretty confident some things are going on in multiple areas that are going to make us very happy. Now, if we're sitting here in spring and now that it's happening, well, then shame on me. Shame on me. Your back keeps a receipt for pretty much everything you do. Trust me, I know from experience. Eight hours in a chair, three hours in an airplane, that box you should have asked somebody to help you lift. but you didn't listen.

Even sleeping sometimes is ridiculous because you get up and you're like, what did I? I was sleeping. Your back presents the bill and that's why I would like you to consider a chirp contour. The contour is this compact massage table that you lie down on

and something wonderful happens. You don't have to have anything else automatically adjust to your back uses targeted spinal decompression and deep massage pressure and optional heat and it'll help your back relax. I love it. I have it. use it all the time when my back is hurting, which is pretty much all the time.

Contour. Get it now from chirp. Here's what I want you to do. Go to chirp and get their chirp contour at gochurp.com slash back. Go-G-O-churp.com slash back. Do it now. By the way, 10% off your first order, gochurp.com slash back. Friday. So last hour I was talking to you about the banking situation and how people, the government has been, you know, tracking people with with red MAGA hats. This is from the, you know, Biden administration. They're tracking about 700,000 Americans. They were closing bank accounts if they disagreed with you. And I told you that this was all part of something called reputational risk. This is something I wrote about in my book, The Great Reset, came out right around the time. This was the book that was the first to come out

and really expose all of this. And it was called conspiracy theory and everything else. And people didn't believe it. You need to, if you didn't get the great reset, you need to buy the great reset today. Because this is happening. And the government, as I said last hour, if you missed it, you need to go back and listen to Glenbeck.com slash Torch or wherever you get your podcast. But I'll tell you, today is a day. Torch is worth its price for the monthly subscription times 10 because I haven't had time to go through everything. We're going to go through. We're going to go through this probably next week. But if you're concerned about your bank and your money,

all during the commercials, we have, Jason has been filling you in and all of this information that it's all in Glenn AI, all of, it's in all of our archives. We'll assemble it for you next week. But if you're really concerned about your bank, go back and listen to today's show at glenbeck.com slash torch. And hear what's happening on the insider show, because we're giving a lot of information.

But I will tell you there is good news. The president has signed an executive order to stop all of this reputational risk. They've gone in to the FDIC and the banking and all the regulations and removed any language on reputational risk. But if the Democrats get back in, that will all go back in. Because nothing's been codified. And it is extraordinarily that you don't talk to me about fascism unless you understand what reputational risk. is in the financial community. So we'll get into that more next week.

Probably on Monday. We're going to try to really distill it all for you. So you have a, here's what I need to do if I'm concerned about these things. We'll give you a list. We've been promised the fat pill, which we now have. And we've been promised the flying car, which apparently we now have. I have to tell you, we are living in the future. It is officially here.

And it's, I think, largely due to one guy, Elon Musk. We're going to start there here in 60 seconds. Somewhere in human history, somebody invented the dishwasher. You know, imagine his neighbors. You mean you're going to build an entire machine, hook it up to the plumbing, run electricity through it, and, you know, we won't have to wash any of our dishes. We don't have to wash a fork. Yeah, yeah.

God bless that, man. You know, some jobs are just too tedious, which brings me to cleaning out your gutters.

Minimum purchases required restrictions do apply. Okay, let me, if you happen to be watching us today online or wherever you're watching us, let me play the Tesla Flying Roadster. Yesterday, Elon Musk came out and said, yeah, I decided to combine the car company with SpaceX, and here's what we have. And it's now driving up a straight wall and now upside down. And then flies exactly like

Marty McFly's DeLorean. I mean, that is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. And now in slow motion, it shows. I mean, that's Marty McFly, isn't it? Isn't that flying Delorean? Jason, Ricky? It's absolutely incredible.

One of the most incredible things. Wow. So as it's driving up, it starts, you know, like a normal car, and then it drives up this curve, and it's, it's now vertical. It's not horizontal. And it's driving like at 25 miles an hour, and it's driving vertical. That's because it has these jets from SpaceX that is pushing it towards the wall. And then it comes up to the top, and it runs out of road.

and it looks like it's free falling and spinning down and the jets are actually controlling it to level it out and then land the car. It's unbelievable. Can I tell you what? I just love Elon Musk. I think he is the most amazing man alive today. He is Nikolai Tesla.

You know, I tweeted something when the president gave him the Science Award research. and he said he's Thomas Edison. He's not Thomas Edison. He's Nikolai Tesla. And there's a huge difference between the two. I got to write a book about those two. Because I hate Thomas Edison.

Thomas Edison was a salesman and he was a good manager. And he would hire people like Nikolai Tesla, who worked for Edison for a while. And he hired people like that to continue to do experiments. and he would say, look, we're going to do this. Elon Musk is the guy with the ideas. Elon Musk is the guy who's saying, no, this is the way we do it. SpaceX is his.

The car company is his. And he said, I decided to put these two together. And I went to them and I said, let's make a flying car. And he said, it might be because I'm crazy. But no, it's because I think Elon Musk is, the quintessential American dreamer. I haven't seen an American dreamer like this. You know what the difference is with America and all other countries?

All other countries, and we were becoming like this until him, all other countries tell you no, there are limits. You can't do this, you can't do this, you can't do this. Elon Musk says, why not? Let's try that. We got a rocket company. I got a car company. we can put these together.

I know we can make a flying car. Here's how we do it. And he does it. And even in the intro when he's saying, we're going to show this, he's like, this may not work. He's like, this is, this one is automated. He said, this car will not be automated.

It'll be the only non-automated product that we make if we ever release it. He said, but this one is, he said, because we don't want to kill somebody, because we're not sure that it's going on this test actually, work. And so he does it anyway. There's nobody that takes these kinds of risks. And that's what Americans were. We were risk takers. You know, I got to tell you, I am, when it comes to danger, I'm a wussy. I am just, I don't like danger. I don't like danger. When it comes to risks, I'll disrupt everything, especially my own life. I will disrupt all the time. And I like the cutting edge. I like living

on the edge on technology and what's coming in the future, etc., etc. I'm fascinated by it. But when it comes to real danger, I don't think he's afraid. I think he would be the first in his rocket. Honestly, I think it's an insurance company that says

no, no, no, no, you're not getting into the rocket. Because everything, so I was talking to somebody and they said, do you own do you own SpaceX or Tesla stock? And I said, yeah, damn right, I do. And do you think that's, I mean, I think it maybe it's overrated. I said, really?

You want to sell yours to talk to me? Because I'll buy it at a discount if you want to get out. And they said, well, what do you think, I mean, overrated? What do you think is too high? I said, I'm holding onto that stock unless Elon Musk has a terminal illness, then I'm selling it. Because it is all based on him. It's the only company that I've ever seen

that if that guy dies, you know, good luck for SpaceX and everything else. Because it'll become kind of, I bet it will become like Walt Disney. And it will become protective. It will become, you know, what would Elon do? How did Elon think? Et cetera, et cetera.

And then you can't run a company like that. This guy is absolutely incredible. Let's play number nine here. This is the flying roadster jumping over a bunch of cars and trucks. Look at that. Play that again. There it is in slow motion. So like evil-ceneval, except there's no ramp.

It's speeding towards these cars and a truck, and it just jumps up. it makes a couple of 360s in the air and then lands softly on the tires. I've never seen anything that incredible. It's amazing. Absolutely amazing. You know what? On my bucket list of people to meet is Elon Musk.

I've met him before, but I've never sat down and really talk to him. I don't think I could talk to him. I think I would be a bumbling idiot. I think I would, you ever met anybody where you're just like, you're just enamored by them and you just think. that they're so smart and you're like, I think that's what I would come off like, he would look at me and go,

are you autistic? Because I don't know, I don't know what I would say to him, because I just think he is the most incredible man alive today. I really do. I think he is one of the most important human beings on the planet today because of what he's done for liberty, for the republic,

for freedom, for free speech, for believing in no boundaries again. That was the thing about America. We didn't believe in boundaries. We're like, what to hell do it? What do you think the Wright brothers were like? You know the Wright brothers?

Do you know when the Wright brothers first took off? They took off and they took off and they were headed toward a sand dune. And they take off and it starts to fly and it's really great. And all of a sudden, they're like, go for it, man. just go for it. And so they pull up and it goes over the sand dune and now you're over the water.

You're over the ocean. And they're like, I don't know. It's going to crash in the ocean. Okay. Just keep going. I mean, that's who we used to be. Explorers and people who never said, no, I think that's, I don't, I don't think we should do that. I think that's too far. I think that's, no. What do you mean? No. I'll strap myself. into it. You don't want to do it. That's fine. I believe in this. I'll strap myself into it. I can't believe. I mean, when I was growing up, you know, I grew up in the time of the Jetsons. And when I was growing up, everybody said, oh, the future, you know, by 2020 we'll have, you know, or by 20, by the year 2000, we'll have flying cars. And no one will be fat because there would be a fat pill. And we didn't get any of that. We're getting it now. We're getting it now. A flying car.

And none of that could have been done without AI. There's no way that, there's no way a guy is sitting in that. You know, what confused me about this, he said, this won't be something, this will not be autonomous. This will be something where it requires a person inside the car. Really? Because a person is going to be able to do that? I mean, I can understand I'm pushing launch and land or flip, but I don't think a huge,

human could do that. It's happening too fast. I mean, you don't even see it until they slow it down. Play that again, jumping over the car. When you look at it in, they'll play the other one. Yeah, there. Okay, there it is in real time. You think a human is doing that? No way.

Look at it in slow motion. Look how many things have to happen. Those jets are spiraling around the car to direct exactly how it's flowing. It's incredible. Here's a real question. when can I have one?

When can I buy this? When can I buy this? I got to tell you, Elon, because I'll write to Elon once in a while, and I'll be like, when are the robots? I want a robot. I want the robot because I want a robot for our museum. I want to keep it in the box and I want to put it in our museum because it's the first. It's the first. But I also want a robot.

You know, I want some sort of a, I need a device where I can shoot it and kill it. if I have to as well. Don't think I won't be unarmed around that thing. But I really want one. And everybody's like, everybody's family is like, you want a robot. Glenn, you don't want a robot. I'm like, I want a robot. I want a robot.

And so I write to Elan occasionally, I'm like, how do we get on the list? He's like, Glenn, there is no list. When they come out, they're going to come out in 2027, first year, 28, I think. He said the first year, 27, it'll all go to industry. mainly Tesla and SpaceX

he said, but it'll all be for industry and I'm like, you can count me as an industry. I mean, I'm in, what kind of industry? Are you like radio industry?

We need robots. And I'm like, I just want, I just want to be on the, I just want to be on the, I want a robot. I want a robot. But they're coming.

They're coming. I mean, think of that. The Jetsons had flying cars. Nobody was fat. No, Mr. Spacely was fat, wasn't he? And then they had the, what was the maid's name, the robot.

That was a maid. We're almost there, guys. Yeah, Rosie, Rosie the robot, right? We're there. I mean, I guess it's just like the eight-year-old kid in me that is so excited about this, but I just, I'm so excited that we're inventing again. I'm so excited that we're exploring again,

that we're doing these amazing things. This is what America is. Ricky. Oh, BJ's telling us to wrap it up, but I have been begging to get your reaction to a negative Nancy who says, that's just a marketing stunt and the technology is old. Just nobody ever thought of bolting it on a car. So no big deal.

Not really a flying car. Oh, geez. Oh, yeah, I'm going to. Oh, I'll answer that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about relief factor. Your body is fearfully and wonderfully made. It is. It's what scripture tells us.

The more we learn about the human body, the more extraordinary that statement becomes. Your heart beats a thousand times every day without giving thought. Your immune system constantly working to protect you. Your body has an amazing ability to heal and repair itself. But that doesn't mean our bodies don't sometimes need help. As we get older, as we play a lot of sports in our life, as we injure ourselves, aches and pains become more and more common. The inflammation, that's part of the body's natural healing process,

maintaining a healthy inflammatory response is important. And that's one reason why I recommend relief factor. It's a drug-free supplement designed to support your body's natural inflammation inflammatory response and help with everyday aches and pains. And over a million people have tried relief factor and two-thirds of them have gone on to take more. If you're dealing with frequent pain, I encourage you to give relief factor a try. It's a three-week quick start. It's $17.76.

Special price for their 250th or our 250th. It's relief factor. See why people say it is given back their lives. Relieffactor.com call 800 for relief. That's 800, the number four relief. Relieffactor.com. 10 seconds, station ID. So what is the comment here that this isn't anything exciting?

Yeah, here's a mean old care. And she says, this is a marketing stunt. The technology is quite old. Just nobody ever thought of bolting it on a car because it's pointless. Glenn. Okay. give me the second sentence again or the one where she says

but nobody is not new technology of bolting the old technology on a car because it's pointless you used a fan suction stop stop stop stop nobody ever thought of bolting it

to a car that's the point nobody ever thought of bolting it to a car. I mean, how dim-witted do you have to be to not understand? That's usually how great leaps are made.

Somebody takes something that somebody else is done, and they're like, hey, wait a minute. Let me, let me dumb it down for Karen. You have peanut butter in my chocolate. I'd like a pineapple pizza, please. I'd like a hot honey pizza, please. I just had hot honey pizza for the first time. Nobody ever thought of putting honey on top of the pizza. It's one of the greatest pizzas I've ever had.

Now, I don't put the flying car in the same category as hot. hot honey pizza, but it's the same concept, Karen. No one ever thought of putting those two things together. You are so... Wow. Wow. You really don't get it, do you, Karen? And then she goes on, and it's pointless. It's pointless. It's pointless.

You know, talk to me in 25 years. Talk to me in 25 years. Do you know what that flying car? Let's say that this stabilizes. They pursue it, et cetera. There's a lot of ifs. But that's like saying, you know, the helicopter. Leonardo da Vinci drew one up.

It's pointless. What are we going to do with the little whirly bird thing? Oh, I don't know, Karen. Wait until somebody else thinks about putting that to use. Okay. Let me tell you about rapid radio people, just stupid people. People piss me off. Rapid radios.

Everybody used to want a CB. CB. Now they want a phone without a cord. Pointless. Truckers had them. Families had them. Half the country was driving around, calling them things like rubber duck and bandit.

You know, you could be rolling down the interstate, somebody, you know, talking to you that you've never met, warning each other about speed traps and traffic jams and blah, blah, blah. I don't know. There was something wonderfully American about that in the open road. Complete strangers helping each other out and a little bit of freedom on the airwaves. But I'd like to see some of that come back, but, you know, rapid radios is a much better idea. It's just a walkie-talkie. It's pointless. It's not a walkie-talkie, Karen. Somebody said, why don't I take LTE and put it together with a walkie-talkie?

And now I can be in Hawaii and talk to somebody in New York City on a walkie-talkie, Karen. It's called Rapid Radio's. Get them right out of the box. They work right out of the box. 60% off free shipping user promo code back rapid radios.com. Rapid radios.com. Last week, we exposed the DSA's global network to Torch Insiders. Then they said, get it out in front of the paywall.

Watch it now on Glenn's YouTube and glenbeck.com. Okay, now this is not going to sound like a good news Friday kind of thing. Okay. Because we're going to talk about abuse of children. However, the reason why we're having to be. having Ryan on is because I think it is a good news thing. Because something is being done about it. You know, he is the CEO of Teacher Freedom Alliance.

National organization helps teachers leave their unions and defends their right to do so. Let me just let me just celebrate in my head for a minute just on that one. He also served as Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction where he found and fought the teachers' unions over curriculum, school, Parenthoodal Rights, one of the most outspoken educational officials in the country, he has written a column for Town Hall that he contrasts Chris Hanson, you know, to catch a predator, with the predators in the classroom. Now, I worked in New York for a while, and the teachers' unions had like a full floor, you know, of a building with nothing but these teachers who had been accused of the worst stuff ever.

and they had to be there between school hours, and they would just sit in this room, and they would do nothing all day and get paid for it. And if you ever thought the Catholic Church was bad with moving, you know, predators around, meet your teachers unions. Ryan is with us now,

Ryan Walters. Hello, Ryan. How are you? Great to see you again, Glenn. Thanks for having me on. Good to see. You bet. So do I have this right?

Is there anything there that needs correction? No, sir. I mean, you know, what you see here is examples of how the teachers unions fight to keep all of their members in the classroom. And it doesn't matter what they've done. It doesn't matter what they're accused of. You see in New York examples that they call them rubber rooms, right? It's like, well, they can't be around kids. They did something terrible, but we'll stick them in this room and still pay for them.

So you have that example of taxpayers continuing to pay for, for predators in the classroom. But then you have a secondary problem as well, which is in so many states, they allow this past the trash, where they started an investigation of a teacher, the unions become involved, and so the teachers end up being allowed to resign.

Investigation stops, and then guess what that teacher does? Gets another job down the road and molests another child. This is prevalent all over the country. It's got to stop. Several states take aggressive measures there, but it's absolutely outrageous.

And people know that term. past the trash, that's exactly what they're meaning about that. So, you know, it's amazing to me is, you know, a lot of people on the left will scream about the Catholic Church, and they have every right to scream about what happened with the Catholic Church, but then they will just turn a blind eye to this. And it is exactly the same thing. One in ten kids experiences sexual misconduct by a school employee. One in ten. How is that not in the headlines all the time? How do most people not know that? I don't know how this isn't, you know, one of the biggest stories in the country.

And again, the reason why is you got the liberal media bias, of course, and they're in bed with the teachers unions. And so they don't want to expose and peel back the problem, which is, again, these unions are there to say, hey, look, we're here to protect you no matter what. We're going to keep your job no matter what. And so they go in, they negotiate these types of agreements with districts. We caught hundreds of these folks in Oklahoma, where once we started to investigate, we go, well, why were they at five districts in six years? And again, the issues are they build out these processes and procedures makes them incredibly difficult to fire. And so then, and we ended up holding administrators accountable too, saying you don't stop an

investigation because someone wants to quit. You need to go figure out, did they molest a child, did they endanger a child? And that person, number one, doesn't need to be teaching again. Number two, should be turned over to law enforcement and prosecuted the fullest extent of the law, but you just see this hasn't been happening across the country. And again, the liberal media, don't want to expose that the biggest child predator ring out there is in the school system being protected by and set up by processes by the teachers unions. And so why doesn't this happen? Why aren't these administrators doing that? Well, for them, there are a couple things. Number one, they don't want the headlines.

You know, resigning quietly at a board meeting, you know, signing off on, you know, these teachers aren't coming back is a lot better for them they see as the headlines. of teacher found in these inappropriate situations with multiple children. So they just pass the track. They just move it on to the next district and hope that it never comes back to Biden. So if there were whistleblowers in those schools, wouldn't that make the administrators less likely to do it? Because if they are afraid of bad press,

I don't think there's, I mean, it's bad press to have a teacher abusing a child. It's worse press to have the administration just shove it under the rug, fire them, and let them go teach at another school, isn't it? That's right. And, you know, and from our, you know, when I was at the State Department in Oklahoma, you know, we had parents obviously turned these, you know, turning these situations. But we also had a lot of good teachers that said, hey, you need to look at this. I don't know what my district's doing, but this is, we've heard about this.

The stories are rampant. you know, can you go and investigate this? And then so many times when a district pushes under the rug, now these teachers that flag this behavior now are set up with a situation of, do I continue to speak out publicly and fear retribution from the union, retribution from my bosses, or do I go about my day? And so the reality is, is because of the power that these school administrators, teachers' unions have over the districts, you know, a lot of times teachers turn in the bad teachers. And again, you know, what happens next? You know, they don't follow. They don't know necessarily what happens. But also they know if they continue to speak out publicly, again, the unions come after them as taken on their own and going after their own union membership. So, Ryan, is this something that you guys can help people do? I mean, they need, they obviously need people who want to say something. They need somebody on their side.

Absolutely. You know, that's what we do at the Teacher Freedom Alliance is we want good common sense teachers to go in. First, you know, teach. the curriculum the way it should, not pushing a left-wing agenda. Number two is to be whistleblowers, is to go in and make sure that what we're doing is protecting all students, making sure that what we're doing is protecting those teachers legally when they speak out on issues like this, when they're able to come forward and help protect kids. And I think it's so essential when we talk about the overall mission of what's been done here. The teachers unions injected $1 billion into politics since 2015, a recent report showed. So our partner, our partner organization, the Freedom Foundation has got 300,000 union members to leave the unions, costing the unions,

$870 million. That's $870 million. They can't go in and push policies like this, push the left-wing agenda. So we've got to get folks to leave the unions to decrease their power. And then number two, we've got to mobilize our good teachers through organizations like ours to say, when you're doing the right thing, we've got your back. Parents have your back. Taxpayers have your back. But again, right now they are going up against a multi-billion dollar industry in the teachers union that takes no prisoners. If you speak out against them, if you speak out against what they're doing and how they're spending and the advocacy that they're pushing, they come after you, they docks you, you're targeted in the teacher's lounge, you may not get a job, you may get fired.

These are things we've got to be able to continue to do to get our schools back on track or protect the good teachers in the classroom, work with parents, work with the communities to ensure that this doesn't continue to happen. You have 300,000 people you have helped leave the teachers unions. That is a significant number. Talk to the teacher right now that feels like I can't leave the teacher's union. They'll destroy me. Talk to that person.

Well, let me tell you, we have your back. We want parents, communities, want good teachers in the classroom. I would say, you know, join our organization, the teacher Freedom Alliance, we'll give you liability insurance to make sure you're protected there. we'll give you your professional development free of DEI, free of left-wing biases. So you can go in and be the best teacher you can. But I'm going to say, don't leave the classroom. We need great people like you teaching the next generation.

We're not willing to give our fools over to a radical Marxist organization like the Teachers Union. We will fight for you. And there are millions of parents and taxpayers around the country that want you in the classroom for the next generation of kids. So join the Teacher Freedom Alliance. We'll have your back. But I'm going to tell you, we work with so many conservative groups across the country that say, yes, these are the type of teachers we want in the classroom. We've got to take our schools back from this radical leftism being pushed by the teachers union. So you're the type of folks that we need.

And there's so many young people out there that want to develop their God-given talents. And they want teachers like you that they're sitting at school every day. Here's how big this problem is, America. Los Angeles, just Los Angeles, has set aside seven hundred, $150 million to pay for abuse claims. $700. A, who's paying that bill and is anyone being held accountable? Who's paying that bill as a taxpayers? You know, I mean, that's what's, you know, the other part of this is you're endangering kids,

but you're seeing these payouts that are happening that's going, hey, this isn't just money, you know, it's not growing on trees here. This is taxpayer dollars that are going in because these districts haven't, number, one, done a good job of ensuring the people that they're hiring are of high quality. Number two, they are not dealing with these problems as they arise. I mean, listen, that's the number one priority of the school. Those kids are in your care during the day. They've got to be protected. That is number one. No parents should have to fear that their child's going into school today and could be a target of a sexual predator. That parents should not have to worry about that,

but because schools haven't done their jobs, because unions have protected them. That is a real fear. here in America today. And I would say most of your viewers, if they know somebody that knows somebody that has dealt with a teacher that was inappropriate with a child, when you look at the statistics, that bears out. And so it is such a troubling endemic. And then you see, you know, Glenn is crazy to me. You see this Hollywood film and they demonize Chris Hanson. You know, he's the bad guy here. You know, the guy that's actually confronting these child predators. We need more confrontations of child predators, especially when they're in our school systems with children all day away from their parents. there should be of the highest priority for schools to ensure the safety of those students there every day.

Has anybody tried to sue the teachers' unions, not just the school district, the teachers' unions, for supporting all of this stuff, for putting people in rubber rooms, for not firing people, not pursuing? Is anybody suing them and has anybody been successful? Because the real cancer here, I believe, is the teacher's union. No, and I'm glad you said that because, yeah, that's peeling back the onion. They're really the ones that have set up these protocols and practices. They're the ones that advocate for this. As far as I know, Glenn, there's been no successful challenge there.

You know, we've looked at that as well to say, listen, at what point does accountability come to a system that's built to protect the perpetrator over the victim? I mean, and that's what you've got to look at here is if you're a child, if you're a parent and this happens to you, why is everything set up to make it incredibly difficult for justice to occur for that individual to be removed and to never be in a school system again and frankly be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law why does this continue to happen why are ds not more aggressive on this front why do we see repeat offenders in a school system i agree you know that's something that we're always looking at too we're word illegal angles here to hold those individuals responsible uh for these behaviors that look if you look at the way the system is set up it is absolutely set up to make it incredibly difficult to fire teachers even with the worst accusation

before on. Ryan Walters, he is with the Teachers Freedom Alliance CEO. He is a guy who has been fighting for your kids in the classroom for a very, very long time. I want you, if you're a teacher, please explore this. The cancer in our classrooms is the union. I believe in unions when they're balanced. I believe in capitalism, when it's balanced. when everybody is operating on good faith and everybody's trying to do the right thing for everyone

involved, the balance in the teachers union is so far skewed. There is no justice. There is absolutely nothing but control and politics and a craven power for, I mean, a craven pursuit of power. Get out of your teachers union. Please check out teacher freedom, Alliance.com, Teacher Freedom Alliance.com.

Be a leader, be a groundbreaker, be ahead of the curve. Thank you so much, Ryan. I appreciate it. God bless. Thank you. Let me tell you about Patriot Mubble.

There was a time when you know who you were doing business with. You knew the man who owned the hardware store. You knew the man, you know, the family that ran the local restaurant. And if you didn't like how somebody treated you, you know, what they stood for, you took your business someplace else.

That was just common sense. Somewhere along the way, we handed more and more of our economy over to these giant corporations that don't share our values, and then we act surprise when they use the money and influence to advance things that we disagree with. You still have a choice. That's why I want you to look at Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is a Christian conservative wireless provider that supports the values that you care about, faith and family and freedom in the Constitution.

They offer coverage on all three major networks, competitive plans, and American-based customer support. You can even keep your existing number and your phone. and you're supporting a company that actually shares your principles. So go to PatriotMobil.com slash Beck or call 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot.

You know, do we panic or should we celebrate? What is coming our way?

He's a little black and a little white pill both at the same time. It is fascinating, some of the best political analysis that I've heard in a long time from Mark Halperin on the podcast available now for Torch Insiders. We're release everywhere. You get your podcast tomorrow. But I want to give you this a little whiteboard. light pill. This is from CNN. Listen to this, the latest from Harry Enton. Six Senate map. Hit the polls underestimate Republicans by two to four points. Well, remember all

that blue that was on the map before? All that blue went, bye, bye, see you later. Adios amigos. Sianara. Those Democratic chances and those Democratic hopes down there into Lake Erie. Look at this. Now what we're dealing with if, in fact, the polls underestimate the Republicans is 53 Republican Senate seats compared to 47 Republican seats. So a very clear Republican win in the Senate if the polls are underestimating the Republicans like perhaps they did in 2020,

like they did in 2016, so on, so forth. If the polls undershot the Republicans by greater than three points, well, that's all you need. That's all you need for Republicans in order for them to actually probably hold on to the U.S. House of Representatives. They would likely win 218 plus house seat.

Let's just, I'm not going to say anything. Don't say anything. You had me at 218 plus house seats. Shh, we're just going to leave it there. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, conservative porn. I'm leaving you that this weekend. Oh, yeah.

My history geek in the world. is joining me in 60 seconds. Stand by. First, let me tell you about my Patriots apply. We live in the most convenient civilization in human history. You can order a replacement toothbrush at midnight, and somebody will leave it on your porch before you finish breakfast. You can have groceries delivered without leaving your couch. There are people who haven't set foot into store for years, and somehow their refrigerators are always full. We got the flying car yesterday. However, there is a catch. All of that convenience depends on an enormous system working, exactly the way it's supposed to, and the trucks have to run, the warehouses have to operate,

Nealon Musk needs to be alive. Now, the power has to stay on, the roads have to remain open, and that's why I recommend my Patriot Supply. They offer emergency food kits with up to 25 years of shelf life, packed and convenience, stackable containers you can store until you need them, and you can get a four-week supply or even a three-month supply. So if your family has, you know, food available when the stores don't, that's a good thing. Keep it to yourself. Preparewithglen.com. Go there now. You can save almost $300 in a complete bundle. Don't wait for the forecast to send everybody running into the stores.

It's really good to see you. I wish we were in the same room together because I'm a little geeking out. I know you have the Wright Brothers book out today.

and I think it is so appropriate because of the flying car. Did you see that, Brad? With Elon Musk? I literally was like, I almost thought it was like you planned it. Because I was like when we were figuring out when we should talk, I was like, I said to my wife when I saw it last night, I was like, this is Iron Man. This, it's literally using, you can see right there as it goes out. Yes.

It's like he just needs repulsory's. And that's it. I can hear the Jetson's music. I can hear the Iron Man theme. it is real. And then my second thought was, my first thought was how cool. My second thought was, are people going to be doing us on the roads? Because if they are, we're all screwed.

We're screwed. We're totally screwed. Yeah. So let me ask you this. I said last hour that I think Elon Musk is single-handedly bringing back the excitement of invention of being an American with no limits. He is, you know, Trump said he is the Edison of our day. He's not. He is the, you know, the Tesla of our day. He is an incredible mind that is changing everything. Do you think history will remember him this way?

So I think he's complicated. I think his technology is, you know, no one can touch it. It's right there's no doubt about it you can't look at that video of the car um i used to have a tesla right i know what it's like to drive them what i will tell you is um he's complicated because of you know i i wish he had more empathy i just do i'm just being honest because you you know we love each other and we're always honest about it i think that history is full of of complicated people and we can't have them all be the way we want, but I think that's honestly going to be one of the things that you look at that we're all trying to square. And the Wright brothers, listen, they had that too, right? The Wright brothers watched this amazing technology they had. They built this thing out of

a beauty and love for creation. And then they turned it over and said, wait, World War I, they're going to use it to kill people. So it's complicated, right? And I know we always want to make our history simple, but you and I know better than just about anybody that it, you know, whenever we try and put someone up on the platform and make them perfect, only God's perfect. Oh, I don't think he's perfect. I don't think he's perfect by any stretch of the imagination. And I, you know, I have often said that Elon Musk is absolutely incredible,

but also could be responsible for creating the end of the world. I mean, Well, you know, someone sent me yesterday. And Tesla was like that. Tesla was like that. Someone sent me last night when that clip ran. It was the scene from the Matrix. And there's this moment where Keanu Reeves is talking to Morpheus

and they're talking and he says, remember the moment? We don't know when it was. But it was the moment when AI took over. We don't know who took action first us against them or them against us. And the headline of the Matrix things. said, remember when you saw this movie and you thought it was fiction? And it was one of those moments that just hit me, right? I mean, it hit me. And as someone who's a writer, my books have trained

AI. Your words have trained AI. And you can write like Brad Meltzer now. You can go in, a friend of mine, he said to me, watch this. And this is a couple years ago. And he said, and he took a paragraph and said, write it more like Brad Meltzer. And I read it and I was like, this isn't great, but it's not bad. It was just like me. And so, you know, again, every great technology in the history of ma'am has been used for good and it's been used for bad. And I just hope we have the right things in place to make sure that we don't, we see it coming. Yeah, we don't.

I'm with you. I'm with you. Let me go to the Wright brothers for a second. you hear this. There's three people, I think, three different. One in Europe, I think. One in South America and then, of course, the Wright brothers that all say they came up with the airplane first. Do we know that the Wright brothers came up with the airplane first? Listen, I believe the Wright brothers came. There are stories of other people, right? And even before the Wright brothers is a guy named Otto, I think it's Lilenthal. I pronounce it correctly from Germany. They used to call him the Flying Man. and he was the first guy who built like a glider, and he would jump off a high spot and go for 10, 12 seconds gliding down.

One of the great inspirations for the Wright brothers. They used to watch him and say, look what he's doing, this flying man in Germany, he's actually flying. And obviously, all he was really doing was gliding. And there are people who say it, I don't believe it. I think the Wright brothers are the first ones to prove it,

the first ones to show it. What's amazing is, if I, you know, if I had a mentor, Otto the Flying Man, just as a footnote, eventually dies. He dies trying to fly. And the Wright brothers see this.

And if I'm, if I have a, and you know me long enough to know, if I have this thing that I want to do and my mentor dies doing it, I'm probably like, you know what, maybe I should pick up a new hobby,

you know, but the Wright brothers are like, no, it's up to us now. Maybe get a new mentor. Right, a new mentor, new thing to do. How about walking?

maybe walking instead of flying. But the Wright brothers, what I love about them is they have all these people across the world competed against them. They have in the United States, there's people have government contracts, there's millionaires who have money, there's all these people because at that time no one thinks anyone can fly. Nobody. They think it's truly impossible. The Wright brothers, in fact, at the start, they basically say, let's bring some people

out to watch us do our thing. Glenn, five people show up. Five, I have more people in my book signings. And I didn't create the airplane, but because no one thinks it could be done. And then the Wright brothers beat the millionaires, beat the men with the government contracts, beat the German who's out there trying to do it himself. They beat everybody, two brothers from the middle of the country. And what I love is, this is the 40th book in our kids' book series.

And we actually gave America the chance to vote. We said, you pick who you want. You can pick anybody. And it came down to Taylor Swift, LeBron James, and the Wright brothers. Good choice. I had the same exact reaction, which was I know who's going to win here. I know who's going to win. And America picked the Wright brothers.

And I actually think, and you know this, when America votes like that, it means something. And I love the fact that of all the famous people they can pick and the millionaire overpaid athletes and everyone they could choose, They chose two brothers from Ohio who had nothing but teamwork and ingenuity and perseverance. And that says something. Those values endure. Those values matter. And we know that, you know, there are key values that Americans truly still hold on to. And I think we owe it to our kids today to bring them ourselves into that age of inspiration.

Because we're in an age of anger right now. We're in an age of fighting and division. We need to show our kids an age of inspiration and use our own sense of ingenuity. our own sense of collaboration and give our kids better heroes. So was, so were, was it a race like it's a race now to AI to fly? Did the rich people that the inventors think, we are on the verge of flight? It just was the rest of the people that didn't. And if so, what set the Wright brothers apart when they didn't have any of the resources to be able to do it?

This is a super question. So let's talk about where it comes from. Why are the Wright brothers, the Wright brothers? When their kids growing up in Dayton, Ohio, their father comes home one day. The boys are seven and 11 years old. And the dad opens his hand and says, here you go, boys. And he throws this toy helicopter. We call it a helicopter, but it's a propeller with a rubber band on it, right?

And it just goes whipping into the air. But these boys, at seven and 11 years old, become obsessed with it. They start timing how long it'll stay in the air, how high it will go, they measure it. If we wind it higher, will it go higher? And that's why they fall in love with flight. But why do they learn to build? It's their mother. It's their mom who's the tinker.

Her father was a builder. And she used to build their sleds, build their toys. One of the great American things, building things for ourselves. And that's when they come home one day, one of the boys has taken apart the family sewing machine. Now, I can tell you growing up, may my mother rest in peace. If I took apart the sewing machine, my mother would have murdered me. She'd kill me. Right? Like that would kill it. Right. The Wright brothers parents come home and they're like, fantastic. Fantastic. And they nurture that love of curiosity. They nurture that love of building and tinkering. That's why the Wright brothers are the Wright brothers.

And the reason why the Wright brothers can do what no one else can do is because they have that. And what they see is, is everyone else is basing it on wingspan and how big it is, and that's what flight's got to be. The glider in Germany, they're trying to make it wider and taller. But the Wright brothers start studying kites. They start studying birds. They're like, these things look different. A bird is a weird object, but somehow it's staying aloft, and it can turn. And they realize that one wing goes up and one wing goes down. And when it turns, it looks like a windmill. That's the key observation that the Wright brothers build their entire plane around is that birds are doing this. And so if birds can do this, and if animals can do this,

then certainly we can. And nobody else thinks we can. The people building it certainly think they can, but nobody in the world thinks that flight is ever, ever going to be possible. But these two brothers in Ohio prove everybody wrong. Brad Meltzer is the author of a book series sold well over 10 million books now. We Are the Wright Brothers is the latest in the series. They're great for kids to teach principles and to teach history. They're really, really great. Somebody just called me last hour, wrote into the show and said about Elon Musk.

This isn't new. He just took all the thrift. from SpaceX and then he bolted it to a car. It's like, yeah, that's how inventions work. You know, nobody starts from scratch and says, I've got something entirely new. They usually take, and correct me if I'm wrong, most inventions come from, wait a minute,

that idea, that idea and that idea, put them together. And what do we have? Do you read? Listen, the Wright brothers, they're in, what they do is all these other millionaires, all these other people have government contracts, they're building engines, and they're testing these big engines. And the Wright brothers are like, we don't have the money to do that. We can't build another engine and another engine and another engine. So what they start building are little toy ones, little tiny little versions of it. And then they build this little wind tunnel

in their bicycle shop. It's like in the bicycle shop where they're building. And by the way, the only reason that they have a bicycle shop is back then, it's the time where, you know, those old time you bikes where it's like a giant wheel in the front and a tiny wheel in the back, and God knows why anyone thought that was a good idea. But eventually, they start making these two-wheel bikes, right? These two, the bicycles that we know them today are two-wheel bikes. And everyone's like, oh, I want a two-wheel bike. And that becomes the craze. That everyone wants a two-wheel bike, as we know bikes today. And the Wright brothers are so smart. And that was Wright brothers? No, the Wright brothers are, no, that they see what's happening. And the Wright

brothers say, wait a minute, if everyone wants these two-wheel bikes, there's going to be a lot of broken two-wheel bikes. So they open up a bicycle shop to repair them. And that's where they start really honing their skills as builders. And it's that in this bicycle shop that you can still go visit when you go to date and you can still go see it. In this bicycle shop, they build tiny little versions and they start building on what other people are doing. Oh, this flying man in Germany built a glider. Let's build our own glider. Let's see how we can get it to sail off and then we'll build it to scale. And so obviously, you know, knowledge is always something where you're building on top of each other. One of the first things the Wright brothers do is they write to the Smithsonian and they say,

listen, we don't have any books. Can you send us some books on flying in on birds? I love that. I love that they use other people's knowledge to build on that knowledge because that's the only way we all go forward. It has to. It has to. Brad, hang on just a second. I got a break for one I'm back where Brad Meltzer. The new book is We Are the Right Brothers available everywhere for your kids now. Let me tell you about Mercury 1. There are some rooms you walk into

that just make you feel better about the future. Not because of the building or how fancy the event is, but because the people in the room, they share your values, that people believe in something bigger than themselves, people who have done something. They haven't given up on each other

and haven't given up on the idea of America. That's the kind of room that I always want to be in. And that's why I'm so excited to invite you, to Mercury One's upcoming 15th anniversary gala. We're bringing people together who believe that faith should lead people into action, who understand that helping your neighbor isn't somebody else's responsibility and people who want to make sure the next generation inherit something worth preserving. That's the heart of Mercury One, and I would like to invite you,

Tanya and I would like to invite you to grab a couple of tickets. They're at $200, $250 a piece. I know that's pricey, but it's for a good cause. This pays all the light bills for Mercury 1 and everything else. So when we raise money the rest of the year, 100% goes to whatever it is we're working on. This gets us through 2027. Get your tickets now. It is a week from tomorrow.

It's next Saturday. It's in Dallas. I want you there. I would love to meet you, greet you, and thank you for coming. It's Mercury1.org. Get your tickets now. Mercury1.org back in 10 seconds after station ID. So Brad, how concerned are you about AI?

How concerned are you about what we started talking about when you were talking about Elon Musk? These guys, they all are lacking human empathy. They all are like this, it seems. And some of them are so arrogant and also have this thing about living. forever and, you know, they seem to be, you know, godless meaning they don't believe in the soul, which if you're godless, then what is your connection to humans and the soul and everything else? How concerned are you that we are on the edge of something really bad? For exactly the reason you said.

And I think right now, if you look at what AI is doing, it's making us angry, right? Social media is making us angry. Politicians are making us angry. Even cable news is making us angry. Why? Why do AI companies and social media want us so angry? Because angry people vote. Angry people watch.

Angry people will scroll endlessly on their phone. And to me, this is quote, Glenn, that has been haunting my brain. And it says, be the reason people believe in good. Be the reason people believe in good. And to me, that's what my mission with this kids' book series has always been, right? It's not to teach kids history, but it's to show you and your kids how to make history. And what I worry about AI, and I think it's exactly what you were getting at, is we're so worried about racing forward for me, me, me, me, me, look what I can do to me.

I'm going to live forever. I'm going to do this. I'm basically stronger and bigger than God, as opposed to saying, should we? Should we be doing this? and is this better for everybody? And I can tell you as a writer who's fed the AI platform, I tried, it was really fascinating. I tried to see if AI, someone challenged me, say, can AI write one of your books? So I had done a book on Simone Biles, a kid's book.

I am Simone Biles. We did it to teach kids about mental health, kids struggling with mental health. And I gave it all of my research. I put it into AI. I said, just use my research only. and see if you can do the book. And it says, okay, let me plot the book out for you. And it gives me an outline, which I don't outline anymore.

I know how the book's going to go. But I'm like, okay, that's fair. I said, do you want me to write the first few pages? I say, sure. So it writes the first few pages. And it says where she grew up. And then her mother, you know, she has to go live with, her mother abandons her and she has to get adopted by her grandparents.

I say, stop here. I said, but show me how she knows she's loved by her grandparents. I said, but only use the research I gave. you that I know it can be counted on, not stuff from the internet. And the AI, AI came back to me and said, oh, her grandfather, pat's around the head and says, I love you, which never happened. And I said, why did you make that up? That's a lie. It's not even right in history. And it said, oh, that's a literary flourish. And I'm like, oh, my gosh. I'm like, stop lying and give me only the answers base for my rear. And it couldn't do it. And eventually, I kept trying to give it hints. I'm like,

it's when she, you know, comes out of the, she's with her grandmother, she comes out of the shower, with her hair. And what this answer was, it's a moment where after she's adopted by her grandparents, she comes out of the bath and her grandmother braids her hair and combs her hair and braids it. And that feeling she has, when her grandmother's arms are around her, that feeling of love builds her up. But AI couldn't recognize that because it hasn't ever loved before. And to me, as someone very smart said, my daughter, said AI is the smartest. thing, but it has no taste. Brad, thank you. God bless you. We'll talk again.

You're the center of his world, the person he waits for, the person he trusts, the person he depends to take care of him. It's a pretty big responsibility.

Are you missing the program?

You're not a part of the insider. You are missing it. It's been a very long week for all of us. And, man, oh man, everybody's on the chopping block today. You've got to go back and watch the show. If you're an insider, today is a show you don't want to miss for all the behind the scenes. But speaking to that, Ricky, well, let me get into this. first. Jason, play that

clip from Elon Musk. We were talking about the car, you know, the flying car. And I think Elon Musk yes, yes, yes. He could very well turn out to be the Antichrist. Let's just admit it. Let's just admit it. Yes, he could. However,

getting to that place is kind of exciting. You know, might end horribly. We might all be beheaded and have to take, you know, the mark in our forehead. But until that time, he is a remarkable guy. And, you know, yesterday the flying car was released.

This is him in 2018. For anybody who thinks, oh, well, he just put a bunch of stuff together. This is him in 2018 explaining with Joe Rogan, the flying car concept. Listen to this. We're going to put rocket thrust on it. For real? Yes. What are they going to burn?

Nothing. Ultra high pressure compressed air. Wow. Just air? Cold gas thrusters. Do you have to have air tanks? Yes. Yes.

So, it's an electric pump. Whoa. Pump it up to like 10,000 PSI. And how fast? So you already do. How fast do you want to go? He knew exactly how to do it. He knew exactly how to do it back in 2018.

And so he got together. I love the opening yesterday when he was talking. He was like, you know, it could be that I'm crazy. But I had a car company and a rocket company, and I decided, hey, let's build this. And so we do. And it's an amazing thing. And you can get his roadster. If you put down, what is it, $50,000, you can get the roadster.

You can be on the list for the roadster. And if you want the roadster, what do they call it? Ricky. What do they call it? If you want the thrust package, it's like. The thrust package, okay. Ricky has been, unbeknownst to her, innocently, all day, talking about the suck and thrust package,

which I would like you to stop saying, because I have to call HR. I would too. But anyway, so that is, I guess, if you get it with a thrust package, which is zero to 60 in less than a second, you have to put a $250,000 deposit. but it looks absolutely incredible. I mean, I don't know when you'd ever use it,

but it is absolutely incredible. Now, speaking of those packages, Ricky and Michaela, is Michaela on the phone? Hi, Michaela. Hi, Glenn. Hi. So I found out, you know, about 4 o'clock my time this morning, that you and Ricky

tend to find socialist men hot. Michaela, Michaela, give the context. The context for this is that we have a group text where the team for Glenn chats, and we were talking about how Hassan Piker

is actually really not that intelligent. I said I listened to a whole interview. I actually watched a whole interview with Hassan Piker, and I said he's really just good-looking and radical, but he's not bright at all. And everyone said, he's good-looking. Michaela loves communists. I said, there's no way he gets away with being who he is.

He streamed seven hours a day if he's not good-looking. No one's doing that with an unattractive, overweight communist that's not happening. He has to be good-looking or the whole thing falls apart. So wait a minute, so wait a minute. Are you alleging now that you didn't find, no, no, no, that you didn't find him hot. I think you find him hot. The things that I brought on national radio to talk about are so embarrassing. Yeah, I know. I know. That's what I do for a living.

And then is it true that you went the step further and talked about Mom Donnie the same way? How we're doing this. I mentioned a couple days ago that I think that he's also a nice-looking man, which is also how he gets away with being so radical. I said he's not. nice looking, he's charming. When you listen to him, he seems kind. It's just all of his ideas are bad or evil. So what you're saying is Ricky then twisted this because there's a difference between saying he's a nice looking man and hot. No, Ricky would never twist anything. I want that on the record. That's right, girl. Now, it is interesting. Jason did quickly pick up. Because wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

There is something wrong here because if you find this guy, there's one thing to say, no, he's a good looking guy. I can understand it. But one thing to say, he's a good looking man. And I don't know, I think he's kind of hot. Because there's nothing hot about Mom Donnie. The guy is, there's no woman that is attracted to somebody who's like, you know what? I'm going to do a rap album.

Let's do a rap. And then, oh, oh, oh, I got an idea. Let's do a grocery store. too. The guy is so non-male he is such a wuss in life. I mean, he could approach me. Look, I am the biggest

wuss in the world. I would never worry about crossing the street if Mom Dani was coming my way. If he was looking menacing, I'm going to be so menacing. I'm going to just, I'm going to go approach Glenn Beck like I'm going to beat the not out of him. I'm not crossing the street. I'm not crossing the street. I know how to throw a punch

more than that guy does. And I don't know how to throw a punch. The guy is not a guy. He's not. So I don't know how anybody finds, I don't know how any woman is attracted to, I got to do a grocery store. And I've been living off my mom's money my whole life. Come on. Well, if we're talking about hot, should we bring Jason in? Yes, we should. And we should talk about AOC and his crush on her. That little weirdo socialist girl. Let's keep, no, wait a minute. Hang on just a second. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Jason. With sunglasses on or without sunglasses. Sunglasses on, preferably. Sunglasses on. Okay. Okay. You can understand. You can understand that. Talking or not talking. Oh, gosh. Not talking. Not talking.

Sunglasses. I agree with him. He's hot. That's our point. It's like they, okay, biology says women like dudes with beards and like darker skin typically. It's like it goes back.

Biology says that. Yes, it's anthropological biology stuff. We like beards, handsome, darker features. That's like, we're attracted to that.

What I'm not attracted to is a single word that comes out of their mouth. just like Jason No, but but listen, listen There's a guy Who can walk up to you And then there's a guy who swishes up to you I'm sorry But there's nothing

There's no biological juice That should be running in your body With a guy who's swishing up to you Hey girl What do you say we go to the grocery show And go shopping I'm going to save all kinds of money Because it's on the taxpayer

They're not happening There's no there's no biological juice is running there. None. Let's just pretend he's a constitutional conservative. Then he's kind of hot, right? And there it is. Well, no, wait, wait a minute,

wait a minute, hang on just a second. Let's just say this. A constitutional conservative is not like, I can't make it. I just can't make it. Everybody's against me. The whole system is rigged against me. A constitutional conservative is like, get out of my way.

I'll show you how we can do this. Yeah, that's kind of hot. It's kind of hot for a guy I would think. That's kind of hot. I didn't get the no talking option that Jason got. Okay, so wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, but I'm not talking about talking. I'm not talking about talking.

He's got the no talking and the no sunglasses. You could put no talking and no sunglasses on Mondami and Mondani and he's still having to saunter up to you. You know, he's still having to walk across the room to you. still needs to move. The very serious point that Michaela has been trying to make is. Liberal women

are prey to these, I guess you want to call them beta boys fine, but the guys that are pretty good looking with a beard and really bad ideas. Liberal women are prey to them. Michaela and I have a force field where we can objectively, objectively

observe, that's a pretty good looking guy, while also turning away from the bad ideas. That's the lesson here. And I completely understand. I completely understand that if he wasn't so swishy.

I don't know. I don't know women. I just don't know. What is attractive to a guy who's going to throw you in front? I don't care what you do with, I don't care what you do with the women. Just leave me alone. I mean, if you don't think Mom Donnie is that guy.

That's Mom Donnie. What's attractive about the girl, AOC, who just yesterday said, women can't go to college because the government won't pay for it. Literally every woman on this staff went to college. Government didn't pay for it. We're doing fine. You want the truth? You want the truth? I'm going to give you the truth.

I want to give you the truth. What's so attractive? I mean, no, I mean, look, guys. Right? Yes. Guys. We are built. We are built.

I know. I kind of agree with Shane Gillis. Guys are built and it is a cross we bear. And I'm not saying that women are responsible for any of the... I'm saying men still have a huge responsibility. Control yourself, animal. Okay? But guys are visual for a reason.

For a reason. It's an animal thing to keep the species running. I don't know what's happening to guys, but we got, you know, usually guys have guys only think about sex all the time. Have you ever watched everybody loves Raymond? That's the truest comedy ever on television.

He's only thinking about that. It doesn't matter what he's doing. He's thinking about, yes, you want to have sex right now? Yes, okay. Yes, that's the way guys generally are. And it's like God made us that way. So I do agree with Shane Gillis. If you are coming in,

don't tell me that you don't, you don't know how hot your body. looks in the spandex. Don't tell me that. Don't tell me that. Have you ever turned around in the mirror and looked at your butt in those? Why? Why?

Because you want your ass to look nice. For who? So when I look, now it's a difference between ogling, but there is like something like, I don't know, buns of steel and eye magnets. It just happens to guys. You try to look away, you're trying to, but your eyes are like, I've got to look at that.

I've got to look at that. No. So, yeah, don't tell me. Don't look at me like I'm a pig when I notice you look hot. Because you're trying to look hot. You're trying to look hot. One day, my daughter, one-year-old daughter is looking at me. I'm going to have to explain to her that this conversation is mommy working right now.

Oh, my gosh. And if you're watching on Torch. If you're watching on Torch, I guess it's, Case in the control room who's just throwing up all of these incredible pictures. I mean, this is porn. Torch Insiders, I apologize that we have to see Mom Donnie's nipples right now. Mom, Donnie in a cooking apron without a shirt, if you think that's the pizza delivery man that is coming and you're going to get all hot and excited about that, you need medical help. You need help.

That's from his rap video. Look at him. what? From his rap video, that it picture? You know his rap. That's an actual picture. That's an actual picture? I don't want to know how you know.

I watched the music video two days ago. I'm writing an article about it, his rap career right now. That's why I watched it all. And you could read about it. If that's how you get it. If that's how you get around that with your husband. Honey, I'm writing an article on this. You go ahead.

I'm doing important work for America right now. I know. We all are. Michaela, God bless you. Thank you for letting me do this to you. And Ricky, you deserve every word of it. All right, let me tell you about pre-borden. If you live in a world that is constantly trying to put a price on about everything, your house has a price.

Your car has a price. Even your home, your time has a price. According to somebody who's willing to pay you for it, you know, that's what your time is worth. Okay. There are those things that we value that cannot be measured in dollars, and that's most of the things that are important. The value of a human life depends on who you ask. It's a terrifying thought. If a human life only has value and somebody decides it does, then nobody has a guarantee that our own life is going to be considered worth protecting.

Human life has inherent value because it was created by God, and no one can create life except him. Unfortunately, a lot of people can take that life. That's why I support pre-born. They provide free ultrasounds and compassionate support to women facing unplanned pregnancies. Will you join preborn as they work to rescue 50,000 more babies? That's what we've done this year. 50,000, this show alone. For $28, it'll sponsor an ultrasound and help save a baby's life.

I just heard in the insider feed from Ricky, and she's just throwing anybody under the bus. She says, you know, twinkle toes Matt with his sparkly tap shoes, that he, would you say this, Ricky? I don't want to get it wrong.

What? Oh, did you just say? I will quote him. I will quote producer Matt directly. I'm so screwed. Kira Michaela is going to call me out for thinking Jill Biden is attractive. Wait, what? Yeah. Okay, I've got to go vomit.

I Matt, I need to meet you in my office. It is Friday. Bring a box. What the hell is that? You find Jill Biden? Matt literally just ran out of the control room. No kidding. Such a Friday.

Oh, my gosh. I, well, it's going to take me a weekend and probably some therapy to get over the last half hour on this program. We'll see you Monday. If we can heal, may God save the Republic and our souls.
