It looks like Panama has voided the contract with China, which means they're out of Panama. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said new sanctions on Cuba. They're the next on the hit parade.
Starting point is 00:03:30 And the oil industry in Venezuela has now, according to the government of Venezuela, is going to be reprivatized, which is one of the best things that could happen for them. Iran, we're watching about strikes in Iran. The Melania film is out this weekend getting horrible reviews, which only makes me want to buy out a whole theater. I mean, of course they're going to review it and panic like that. I mean, honestly, I might buy out a whole theater. Tim Walz also said some amazing things we're going to get into here in just a minute.
Starting point is 00:04:01 The Tim called Alex, I mean, Trump called Alex Preti, an agitator and perhaps an insurrectionist. We have to talk about that. Don Lemon was arrested about 40 minutes ago in Los Angeles. It looks like they couldn't get a judge, so they just went to a federal grand jury, swore out a complaint. Grand jury said yes, it's valid. They arrested him. This is a scary, scary time, especially when you hear what Tim Wall said about Fort Sumter. We're going to get into all of that.
Starting point is 00:04:30 And also some really good news coming out of South Korea today. All of this in so much more in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about relief factor.

Okay, well, let me start with some good news first.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Let me start in South Korea. Do we have Pastor Sun's chance on the phone with us? Chance? Hi, how are you? Are you in Korea now? Yes, I'm Korea now, and I landed here two nights ago, and I'm still jet lag, but it has been a miracle to stay today. I'm so excited.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Please, for anybody who doesn't know, Chance's father, Pastor Soon, is one of the biggest pastors in South Korea. We have been talking about this for months. He went to jail, like really, I think a couple of days before Charlie Kirk died or maybe the day, a couple of days after. And it is, South Korea is in real trouble. And this is important because it affects you, the American people. If we lose South Korea, we lose a lot. and China is really infiltrating South Korea and it is changing South Korea
Starting point is 00:06:44 and it is becoming a very hostile place first for Christians because of the first to stand up and Chance's father stood up and was just talking about school board elections and the state charged him with election interference that is something that if you are charged with in Korea you get like a fine they put him in jail He's been in jail for six months now, and they wanted to put him in jail for years.
Starting point is 00:07:12 And they're now, the head of South Korea said, we can go in in any church without a warrant. We can take the church property and sell it ourselves and not give it back to the church. I mean, it's really getting bad. But Donald Trump and J.D. Vance paid attention. And when they met with, I think, the prime minister, right, in Washington, a couple of of weeks ago. J.D. Vance brought your father up and tell us the result, what's happening now. Yeah, so the core ruling has come out today this morning at 10 a.m. And although my father has gotten sentenced to six-month imprisonment, it was also a delay sentence suspended, which is also
Starting point is 00:07:55 like a probation for a year. So he got an immediate release. And it's my first time being able to hold my father's hand in four and a half months. And it's been a very, a lot of church members and our family crying and crying, being so thankful, grateful not only to God, but to Americans and also brothers and sisters in Christ around the world for raising voices and to fight our fight as well, because you guys are realizing this is not only about Korea, but also this is coming at your doors. So we are so grateful for all of you. I will tell you, I just love you and your brother's relationship with your dad.
Starting point is 00:08:40 And I think your dad is a Dietrich Bonhofer. We are watching grow into that role in real time. And he has raised two unbelievably great sons. And I love your love for your father. So you've seen him. The last I talked to you, he could barely use. his hands because of the conditions in the prison over there. I mean, it really does not sound like
Starting point is 00:09:07 a Western-style prison in the way he was treated over there. He's lost a lot of weight, but other than that, he's healthy and in good spirits. He's really healthy and good spirit, but physically, so he hasn't told the public or the church members, but to us, he has shown his back and also his hip and it's a point because of the blisters he had to sit down on a of course a very hard concrete floor and for hours or more than 12 hours a day and there are blisters and it turned to a form of rice cake almost and his feet are not he's not he's not he's his feel are numb because he had to sit down for a long time. So his back is, I guess, pressuring the lower body. And also his teeth are getting bad. So he's about to go to go see a dentist tomorrow morning first thing. He wasn't able to chew on...
Starting point is 00:10:12 He wasn't able to chew on what? On one side of his teeth. So I guess he's gotten more muscle on the other side right now. but he's got to balance it. He said, he was truthfully talking about it, although he broke our hearts. This is not something you expect from a Western nation. I mean,
Starting point is 00:10:39 this honestly sounds like, you know, the Soviet Union when I was a kid. Yeah. There's no betting, so there was just one very, yeah, just one blanket and that's it.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Tell me about, because I think that this is great, but the minute this administration stops looking away at your father, stops looking at Korea, this comes right back with a vengeance. So one of the things that we've talked about is you need a Christian school or church to adopt your school or church in Korea and make it kind of an expanded campus,
Starting point is 00:11:23 a second campus, right? Because that will protect you guys? Yes. Yes, Glenn, thank you so much for bringing this up because my father has been praying for 17 years and Sacredary Church was able to establish Christian school named Sekir UNAW's Christian Academy in 2024. And last year, the state rejected the accreditation. So because of because the school wouldn't implement the work ideologies into the education curriculum because my father and Segura Church believe that our future, our future leaders are the most important, if not one of them. And if it gets rejected again this year, which is most likely, it will be closing down.
Starting point is 00:12:09 And we believe that if Segura-Uvnan Christian Academy can be operated as a U.S. school campus branch in South Korea, because the current regime, if there is one thing that they're afraid of, would be the U.S. So they wouldn't be able to attack or be vengeance against the U.S. entity or property. So we believe that that will be helping out tremendously for the school situation. So if you are a Christian school and you think that there's a chance that you might want to just kind of adopt this school, it will be a great blessing to the Christians in Korea. how do people contact you chance either contact me on x anyone can message me and uh either x or instagram's son one two to six so yeah we need you just need one school so thank you so much clan
Starting point is 00:13:11 thank you i'm so happy for you thank you say how to your father for me william some we're praying for yes he's actually i told him about him um one of first things and he's very appreciated I appreciate it because he was going to write your letter inside the prison. And yeah, thank you so much, Glenn. And all the viewers and listeners, I really appreciate it. It has made a big impact on this case. And Koreans are very, very appreciated for this. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Thank you. Appreciate it. Bye-bye. Chance told me that his father was going to write me a letter in prison, but his hands were so broken from the four months. I mean, what kind of prison is that over there? I mean, that, that's nuts. Korea is going, South Korea is going full authoritarian.
Starting point is 00:14:02 I mean, the pastor may be the first guy to ever try to escape, you know, South Korea by going across the border to North Korea. I mean, it's not good. It is not good. Let me give you a couple of other things here. Quickly, Glenn, I would just want to let you know that I was going to also write you a letter. remembering our 28 years together. Hands didn't work, though. Hands didn't work.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Just like the South Korea situation. I mean, it's basically the same thing. So I apologize. I obviously would have loved to communicate you. I was going to buy you that I was going to buy you that lotus too. And I was just, I could not, for some reason, my hands just could not get the credit card out of my wallet. It was so weird. Well, it's weird.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I did notice you did leave me a present here. which is... Yeah, it's a box. It's a box. It's a box. It's just stew's box. So I can collect my belongings and clear out immediately. It's Friday.
Starting point is 00:15:00 You know what I mean? I just want to meet you in my office. Just bring a box. No big deal. You've been telling me that for 20 years. I want everything. Yeah, I know. I want everything out.
Starting point is 00:15:09 I want everything out. I want everything. I want every stupid little blanket you have in the studio. I want every little, you know, hot water bottle that you've used to warm yourself. You know, all these years, I want it all out. All of it. All of it. It's like you never existed, Stu.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Like you never existed. Gotta need a bigger box. Boy, I got to tell you, if Stu and I stop joking with each other, we are going to, it's going to be a really bad breakdown. So please forgive us. We love each other, but this is the way we're going to deal with this by hammering each other all day. So Tim Walls came out and said that, is this John Brown?
Starting point is 00:15:50 Is this our Fort Sumter? Oh, wow, that's kind of an important thing. Insurrection comes to mind. I'll explain coming up in just a second. Stand by first. Let me tell you about American financing. You've ever ever noticed how fast, small expenses can get your attention. The big ones just sit there on autopilot.
Starting point is 00:16:10 You know, you'll shop around for a better deal on car insurance. You'll cancel subscription to save a few bucks. But mortgage, the biggest bill you have often goes years without a second look. Life changes, rates change. the goals changed in your life, but that loan you locked in, you know, years ago may not fit your situation right now, and that's where American financing can help. They work with homeowners to see if there is a smarter way to structure their loan, maybe lowering your rate, maybe consolidating high interest debt, or maybe just adjusting the terms to match your life a little
Starting point is 00:16:39 better. And their mortgage consultants are not salaried, not commission driven. So the focus is on what makes sense for you, not what earns them a bonus. You can make big monthly expense work a little harder for you in that favor? I mean, would it be good to have it work in your favor? Ease a little financial pressure, changing your, changing your situation every month. So it's a little easier. And there's no upfront fees to find out if you qualify. Just call American financing at 800906 2440. 800906 2440. It's Americanfinancing.net. NMLS-182334. NMLS Consumer Access.org. APR for rates in the five starts at 6.799% for well-qualified borrowers.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Call 800906 2440 for details about credit costs and terms. 10 seconds station ID. By the way, today is the last day. You can watch at glenbeck.com all of this nonsense for free. Just see it, all the behind the scenes, everything, including a fourth hour today. Pat and I are going to be doing a Q&A for Stu's last day, fourth hour. And it'll happen right after this podcast live at glenbeck.com.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Also on Stu does America's YouTube and Glennbeck, YouTube. YouTube.com slash Glenn Beck and YouTube.com slash Stu Does America, which by the way, I've got to talk to you about this later, Stu. You've got to get control of that. I mean, you know, somebody is hacking you. Yeah, I know it's bad. It's bad. It's bad. It's bad. You got to get a hold of that. You're saying the YouTube description page. Yeah, that is pretty bad. I wonder what's going on with that. Yeah, it's weird. Yeah, it's weird. You'll probably track that down someday. Let me play what Tim Walls has just said. Now, I want you to listen. This is really important. he said, listen. And at this point in time, I told Tom, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. But unless I see a reduction in these folks on the streets, I'm going to have to say that to my folks. So look, we all think we all want to avoid that. But I think the reality has sunk in this week. If you thought you could pass this by and you thought there was nothing there, I mean, is this a Fort Sumter, John Brown, where are we at on this? And we're doing everything right.
Starting point is 00:18:56 And I have said it time and time again. The way you win this is true. Stop. Stop. We're doing everything. thing right. Is this a Fort Sumter John Brown moment? What is this? Okay, let me just for for those who don't remember history because it was boring when you were taught. Fort Sumter happened in 1861. And that was South Carolina saying get them. The feds, federal government had Fort Sumter. They used an organized force against the federal government and attacked Fort Sumter. That was the beginning of the civil war. Okay? So when he says, is this a Fort Sumter moment? He's implicitly saying this is the opening shot of an organized resistance against federal authority. That matters. Once you start talking about Fort Sumter, you're not talking about
Starting point is 00:19:49 protest or dissent or civil resistance. You're talking about insurrection. And by the way, Tim, that puts you as a confederate. It just doesn't put you on the good side, the winning side. that makes you a Confederate. Then he follows that with, is this Fort Sumter? Is this a John Brown moment? John Brown now, because we're so historically illiterate, we think, oh, well, John Brown was an abolitionist. Yeah, he was an abolitionist that even Abraham Lincoln distanced himself from. He was an abolitionist, and he was morally, his moral conviction was everything that motivated him.
Starting point is 00:20:26 But he was willing to use legal force, I mean, lethal force. He did not believe in the democratic or constitutional process anymore. Even the people who were abolitionists, even the northerners were like John Brown, holy cow. First he was a hero and then they realized this guy is out of control because he led raids and killings. And he terrified people, even people on his own side. And all he did, now listen to this, all that John Brown actually did in the end was accelerate the polarization, not reconciliation, polarization that was used as fire in the Civil War.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Abraham Lincoln, not an apologist, distanced himself because John Brown was blood-soaked. He became a symbol of what not to do. He was a warning sign, not a model. So when Wals invokes John Brown, he's normalizing political violence. Violence is acceptable because it's righteous. History says otherwise. John Brown's violence didn't free the slaves. It didn't build consensus. It didn't strengthen the rule of law. It didn't protect any of the innocence. What it did was harden the sides, legitimize retaliation, make any kind of compromise absolutely impossible. So there's the governor of Minnesota recasting federal law enforcement as an occupying enemy, elevating resistance over law, suggesting violence is historically justified.
Starting point is 00:22:11 That's not civil rights rhetoric. That's pre-Civil War rhetoric. And history's really clear. Pre-Civil War sometimes will lead to Civil War. this is the talk of an insurrectionist really dangerous. And by the way, Trump yesterday called Alex Preti, an agitator, and perhaps an insurrectionist. Hmm. That's kind of important language as well.
Starting point is 00:22:44 We'll have more on this. And also, we're going to recall when Tim Walsh called into the show, called into the show. Oh, yeah. I think it was the night of the first debate, wasn't it? Mm-hmm. Yeah. And he was very excited, and we recall that. And so much more, Pat Gray joins us as well in just a couple of minutes.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Right here on the Glenback program, standby for more. Rough Greens, dogs have a way of telling you when something's not quite right, not with words. They just slow down a little bit. They sleep more. They begin to eat grass. You know, they're not eager to jump around and run like they used to. It's hard to miss the signs, but a lot of times we just go, they're getting older. It can be what's missing from their diet.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Dry kibble is processed food. And if you think our processed food is bad, imagine what's happening to our dogs. It's cooked at really high temperatures. It means everything that they really need that's alive and really good. That's all cooked out of there. That's why Rough Greens is here. It's not a new dog food. It's a powder that you add to the food.
Starting point is 00:24:01 You're already feeding your dog. The dog absolutely love it. They go nuts for it. Uno used to lick the bowl. I mean, one of my favorite sounds from Uno was the sound of the bowl hitting the side of the wall and his chain hitting the bowl. I knew he was happy when he was eating, which never happened before Rough Greens. They're offering a free Jumpstart trial bag right now.

Starting point is 00:25:01 Glenn Beck.com. There's going to be a special fourth hour today. Q&A for Stu's last day. Stu's leaving the program. Is the job done? No, but he's quitting anyway because that's the kind of guy he is. He's a quitter. Why would I want to leave?
Starting point is 00:25:16 I do want to. I do want to play something. This is the one and only time Stu ever did Tim Walls, because his throat hurt afterwards. A little baby couldn't handle it anymore. But it was the day that Tim Walls was going to do the debate. Here it is. Welcome to the program.
Starting point is 00:25:38 We have Tim on the phone. Hello, Tim. Hello, Glenn. Hello, how are you? Hello, but I'm Tim Ballas. Tim Wall. Hello. Hi. I mean, I debate tonight. Will you watch?
Starting point is 00:25:52 Well, we're going to be watching on Blaze TV. You're debating tonight. That's good. I like fishing. I know. I know you like fishing. I coach football. Did you like the football? Yeah, I heard you were a coach. Did you say the football? It's the same shape as my head. As your what?
Starting point is 00:26:13 As my head. As your head. Yes, I have a head. People say my head look like football. Right, okay. I like fishing and hunting. Can I ask? Can I ask?
Starting point is 00:26:29 I thought J.D. Vett is weird. Do you know J.D. Vett is weird? I'm going to say that tonight on the J.D. VIII's day. J.D. VIII is weird. I like balloons. I'm not today tonight. Did you know I was the man in front of taking a gentleman's square? Hello?
Starting point is 00:26:57 Hello, hello. Hello, Glenn. I was, I fought in World War II. This is Tim Walz. I know, Tim. How are you still on the phone? I was talking for seven minutes and you did not answer. Okay, because I thought we had hung up.
Starting point is 00:27:10 What I was saying in Minnesota? Mind your own damn business. Okay. All right. Okay. Teddy Vance is weird. Yeah, okay. We're going to talk to about the JD Vance debate.
Starting point is 00:27:25 I like poodles. What? Poodles. Poodles? I like poodles. I like the. Okay. Tim Walsh, hang up the phone, please.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Glenn? Yes. I love you. Okay. I told about you on debate. You watch the debate tonight. All right. Well, I, I, mind your own damn bit.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Oh, yes. Okay, thank you. Thank you for calling Tim. Can you cut him off, please? How do we get paid for this? I don't, I have no understanding. That's the best impression I ever. We're going to have for a while.
Starting point is 00:28:11 It's actually been in development for a while than really thinking about it. I think I've nailed it. I think you did that. I mean, if all those phrases came out of his mouth tonight, would you know the difference of any idea? We may have a very special guest after tonight's debate on TV. Tim Walls may have to stand by and come on the program tonight so you don't want to miss that. This is the only time that.
Starting point is 00:28:44 This is the only time that. Tim Wals ever appeared on the program because Stu finished it. He was like, ow, my throat really hurts. And I'm like, sacrifice for comedy, man. It's amazing that I would ever leave a job that would pay me to do that. It doesn't make any sense at all. But yeah, I like blew my voice out after that. The whole rest of the day.
Starting point is 00:29:14 I think that might have not been the actual what you were doing as much as the hate that came with that. Yes. Yes, it was the pure Tim Wall's concentrated hatred that was associated with that particular voice. Oh, what a day. So, Stu, you are leaving and you haven't announced to anybody yet what you're doing. So can you announce? Can you tell us, please? Yeah, yeah, we can talk about it. So, you know, it's been something, it's a little bit different than we've been what we've been doing for the last 28 years together, but actually also close as well, of the stuff that we've been doing here for a long time. You know, one of my roles here in the program
Starting point is 00:29:54 has kind of been chief data nerd, a guy who looks at the elections and tries to predict the outcomes to them and analyzes all that stuff. And so I'm starting a new company that is revolving in the world of prediction markets. If you don't know what they are, they're kind of a, they've kind of only become widespread over the past year or so. But basically, you can kind of look and invest
Starting point is 00:30:17 on whether anything is going to happen. Yes or no. A simple question, will this happen or not? Yes or no? And you predict the outcome. And if you're correct, you can profit off of that information. Wait, wait, wait. So are you, hold it, just a second. Are you analyzing those sites or are you starting? Are you falling in with a mob? Look, if the mob has money, they want to hand me for this operation. I'm interested. I'll listen to you. But no, this is like, you know, there's the companies going to be doing. doing a few different things. But the one that's probably interesting to the audience is we're going to have a show. It's going to be called Predictable with Stubergear. You can go check it out now. It's at predictable show.com. And, you know, there you can't. By the way, I trademarked your name. So. Oh, right. So I can't even use my own name.
Starting point is 00:31:06 You have to name and something else. Oh, wow. Thank you. I appreciate that. You've always been a helper, Glenn. He has. That's really nice. It's just a licensing fee. He'll let me use it as long as I just pay him. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Hey, two can play the mob thing, okay? That's true. I can be shaken down with the best of them. That's right. But the show is going to analyze the news, the things that we talk about every day, kind of a special focus on the elections, considering we're going into election time. And that's been somewhat of an expertise of mine for a while.
Starting point is 00:31:39 And we're to be talking about all these news events as they relate to these prediction markets. And, you know, I think it really gives, you know, the free market that we talk about, all the time that makes the world a better place that improves the world that does so many amazing things can be applied here as sort of an engine to find the truth you know the media is obviously going down the wrong road with this they're there they're incentivized to lie to you they want you to go the total opposite direction they're trying to move you to get to the right side of history all the time i mean we're in a time where a supreme court justice can't answer a question about what a woman is,
Starting point is 00:32:17 they don't want to tell you the truth. And what I love about prediction markets, and it's a really unique thing with them, is you have to put your money where your mouth is. These are, you're betting, you're investing with your own real money, and people don't lie when that is on the line. They'll lie to you on television. They won't lie to you there.
Starting point is 00:32:40 We've always thought this was the right thing. I mean, remember DARPA did. this right after 9-11 and they said we're going to go to the the five eyes and uh to people who study terrorism and we're going to let them invest in a kind of a stock market if you will uh of where do they think the most likely terrorist attacks are going to come from how are they going to do it and um i it was it was stopped because everybody was like that's an outrage no no that is a very good way get people to put their money on where are the weaknesses where do they see things. I just think that is that that is the way to find out how people really feel.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Yeah. And I, you know, like the elections are a really good example of this, right? You know, you have the media telling you who they want to win. They're constantly pushing one way or the other. You've got, uh, the campaigns that are lying to you about whether they're going to win or not. You have, I mean, you, you also have a lot of people who are telling you exactly what you want to hear about the election. You're a guy's going to win. Don't worry about it. I want what's actually. I want what's actually. going to happen. I want the truth. And these markets can really do damage in that world. They can cut through the punditry, which I really, really like in today's world. I think it's something
Starting point is 00:33:55 really an important additional layer that we don't have really in our coverage right now. So that is a big part of it. It's at predictable show.com. Please go there. By the way, are going to, if you go there, put your email address in for free, you'll get a 2026 Senate preview. We're going to give you kind of the outline of as to what the Senate race is going to look like in 2026, kind of a starting point for everyone to be able to understand what we are facing here in the next few months, which are going to be pretty intense. So go there and put your email address in. That's going to be part of it.
Starting point is 00:34:28 And I also will say another interesting layer, you know, prediction markets aren't perfect. They don't always have the right answers. And that's good because when they have the wrong answers, you are able to profit off of this. And this is something that I have been doing on, you know, behind the scenes on, you know, my own dime for a long time, over a decade now. Been using prediction markets myself. I paid for a lot of vacations over the years because of it. And it's been really, really good. And I think it's a much more accessible way for people to invest, right?
Starting point is 00:35:01 Like, you can go in and try to predict what a stock's going to do. It's a great invest. It's a great way to. It's gambling, students. It is not gambling. Glenn, I have gambled. No, you're right. You're right.
Starting point is 00:35:14 It is not, it is legally not gambling. First of all, you are accurate. Secondly, I have gambled the decent amount in my life. I'm not against gambling. I've gone to Vegas. I'll place a sports bed here and there. You know what happens when I do that, Glenn? I lose over and over and over again.
Starting point is 00:35:33 I know. I really do think there's something different. It's not chance. Yeah, this is not chance. People know, this audience. This audience is obsessed with knowing what's going on in the world. They sit here and they listen to this stupid show and your nonsensical rantings just to get to one fact every once in a while.
Starting point is 00:35:52 They love the country. They love the truth. And they know about these things. Like if you know, you know your senator in your state. And he always folds on a big vote. And everyone's telling you he's going to vote one way. And you know he's going to fold. We all say these things all the time.
Starting point is 00:36:08 This guy is going to fold. You go on the prediction market and you say, hey, there's an 80% chance he's voting one way. You know, he's going to fold on that. There's real opportunity there. You know, it's different than, like, you put money into a stock. What are you doing? You are trying to analyze what some Chinese supply chain is doing. What is going on internally in the country, internally inside of the company?
Starting point is 00:36:34 Is the CEO going to hook up with some random person at a cold play concert and blow the stock up? You have no idea what's going on with all this stuff. There's so many factors. This is, will something happen yes or no? That's what it is. And there's a definitive end to it. You can actually look at these things and do really well. I've been able to do really, really well, particularly on the elections.
Starting point is 00:36:56 And that's going to be kind of our main focus, but we're going to look at culture and all these other things as well. Bring on like tons of, you know, the best traders in the world and the biggest experts to kind of get you to look for an edge. Yeah, traitors. Yeah, that makes sense. Trade. Not a T, a D, a traders. So anyway, it's, of course, it's predictable this show.com, something like that. Predictable show.com. Thank you. And Stu is going to be joining us from time to time because there is a lot.
Starting point is 00:37:24 I really believe in the prediction markets like this. I think that there is a lot of information to be. And when Stu told me this, I was prepared to go, don't go, don't go. You fail at everything you try. Yeah, please. Thank you. It'll be, please. Just listen to me. and he told me and I was and I was like, you know, that is absolutely this is you. This is 100% you.
Starting point is 00:37:46 It's still going to fail like a miserable. But it's absolutely what Stu should be doing. And I'm actually thrilled about it. So you're not really leaving to self facial cream because that's what I heard it was. A lot of people guessed that it was facial cream related. I heard you and Bill O'Reilly were going to sell facial cream. I will tell you, may I say this announcement has just changed in the last hour and a half
Starting point is 00:38:12 because I know what he was doing beforehand. And now that Don Lemon has been arrested, he's like, well, now I can't go produce that show. That was on the table. I considered it highly. Let me just hit one more time here, Glenn. It's predictable show.com. Even if you don't care about prediction markets, the election analysis you're going to get there, you're really going to love. So go there, sign up.
Starting point is 00:38:34 You'll get that free report on the Senate. And then also a lot of people were asking what's going on with Blaze TV. I'm going to be doing Studez America, a new episode on Monday. So, you know, if you want to hear me rant about everything I've been ranting about over the years, I will be over there in Blaze TV. We're not letting you down on the Blaze TV family. So join us on Studez America. Of course, it's all on YouTube. If just go to YouTube.com slash Studez America, the show Predictable will eventually be there as well.
Starting point is 00:38:58 So thanks so much for, and I've got to say, too. And I'm not going to let us spend a lot of time on this. Please, or God, let it end. Glenn's been very cool and very supportive about all of this. Okay, I'm done. I'm done. That's all I have to say about you. Thank you.

Calls drop, signal bars disappear and you're moving around trying to find a spot where your voice actually goes through. Can you hear me now?
Starting point is 00:39:30 It's amazing how dependent we are on devices that don't always cooperate. And that's why I like to have a backup way to communicate, especially when we're up at the ranch. I've got, you know, 1,000 acres, and it is very mountainous. And there's no cell signal there at all. You can hear each other crystal clear on rapid radios. And the range is really what catches people off guard. You can connect across town or even further. I mean, you can go across state lines.
Starting point is 00:39:56 And it's clear audio. You don't have to check with your phone. It's clear. It's there. You push the button and you talk, and your whole team can hear you.

You grab more coffee, you power through, and you assume that's normal. But of course, it's not. Your schedule is wearing down on you. It's, honestly, it's your body reacting to the food you're giving it usually. When meals are heavy on quick carbs and low in the nutrients your body actually needs, blood sugar can spike and blood sugar can crash. And that roller coaster does not just affect hunger. it affects energy and focus and even mood you feel good for a little while and then suddenly you're dragging and wondering what happened health code was created to
Starting point is 00:41:28 help smooth that out it's built around supporting metabolic health which is really about keeping your internal fuel system more steady and more predictable and the approach comes from dr. Ben Bickman you know I know him he's he's been in the news quite a bit lately he's a metabolic researcher who studies how insulin and blood sugar regulation affect how we feel day to day Health Code is a nutritionally complete meal shake.

Starting point is 00:43:51 sitting too long, standing too long, moving the same way every day. And over time, that tension just settles in and starts to feel normal, even though it shouldn't. What CHRP does is go straight to the source of that tension. Their wheel-style back rollers are designed to target the muscles that run along your spine, the ones that really get tight and overworked and become stiff from daily life, you lie back, you roll slowly, and you let those muscles finally start to release. It's so satisfying. The design is smart and intentional. There's a groove down the center, so you're never putting pressure on your own spine itself, just the muscle on either side. And with the multiple wheel sizes, you can control how deep the stretch goes, whether you want

It is Friday, January 30th, 2026.
Starting point is 00:45:48 This is the last day or the last weekend of free trial for glenbeck.com and a torch. If you want to join us and make sure you don't miss a single episode, make sure you go there and sign up now, glenbeck.com. You can see all of the things that we're doing, including the fourth hour today. we're doing a Q&A for Stu's last day. Today is Stu's last day. We'll talk about that here in a second. But first, let me just recap some of the news that's going on. We have a new chairman of the Fed.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Kevin Warsh. He's a nominee. He's going to be, I mean, here's how this works. The Fed gives the president a list kind of like the mullahs in Iran and says, you can pick one of these guys. And so the president was like, okay, I'll take that guy. So we got that guy and he'll be replacing the other guy that was oh, so good. Anyway, we'll talk about that.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Also, the Donroe Doctrine, a lot of things are happening in that. We may have a strike also on Iran. And Tim Walz is in the news, as is Alex Prattie, more on that in Minnesota. But we'll pick all of this up here in 67. First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. Buying or selling a house is one of those things people do to maybe a handful of times in their life. And yet we expect ourselves to be experts at it. We watch a few shows.
Starting point is 00:47:14 We scroll some listings and we think, I've got to handle on how all this works. Real estate markets are local. They're fast and they're full of details that can cost you a lot of money if you miss them. That's why I tell people about real estate agents I trust. Real estate agents I trust.com is my company, born out of frustration, not being able to know how to even vet a good real estate agent. How do I know who's going to be able to sell my house? I mean, real estate agents come in your house and you're like, can you tell my house? And they're like, yes, we can't. Okay, you're hired. Really not a good idea. Sorry, I was doing my Tim Walsh impersonation.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Right now, real estate agents, I trust.com. We have great real estate agents that are waiting to talk to you. I don't charge you anything for this service. Just meet them. You decide. It's real estate agents.com. Realestateagents.itrust.com.com. So the staff has put together a little montage that none of us have heard yet. It just kind of looks back on all of the years that Stu has been on this program, some of the personal things and some of the funniest things on the program. So roll the montage, please. Stu and I have been talking about my career and his career for at least two years.
Starting point is 00:48:28 And Stu has for a long time wanted to do his own thing. and I appreciate that, and I appreciate all of the many, many years. I'm looking at your resume here. Then you went to the Glenn Beck program, where you were the co-host EP, executive producer. Say hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stu Bergier. Hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stu Bergier. Glenn, how are you this morning?
Starting point is 00:48:55 Well, I'm good, I'm good. Let me say hello to our executive producer. That is Stu Brighier. Hello, Stu. How are you? Glenn, how are you? I mean, Stu was there for the very first talk show I ever did. How old were you when we met?
Starting point is 00:49:08 I was, let's see, 20? 20 years old. Yeah. And what was your impression of me? Because you got to me at the end of my radio career, or my, you know, top 40 radio career. I mean, I grew up in Connecticut, so I knew you from your morning show at Casey 101, which is, you know, music station. the big station in my hometown, basically. And I knew, you know, Glenn and Pat in the morning.
Starting point is 00:49:35 And this is an important lesson, I think, for people coming up, not only in broadcasting, but any industry, is find someone who's very talented, but at the very valley of their career, like the worst possible time. Because those people usually have good lessons, are talented, but also you can kind of glom onto them when they're at their lowest. And then you can convince them you were part of the success later on.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Hello, Stu. How are you, Glenn? I'm, I am. Hello, Stu. How are you? That's a great question, Glenn. No idea. That's my new position on that question.
Starting point is 00:50:13 I have no freaking idea. And he has told me what he's planning on doing, and I actually think it's a really good idea. And so I fully support it. I'm just sad that it's going to bring you further away from me. You won't see each other every day, but hopefully you'll be bringing some of this stuff onto the show, and I've never worked with anybody more honest, more decent,
Starting point is 00:50:34 and more loyal than you. You know, a big part of my job and my career has been trying to execute your vision, like what you want to do, what you think is the most important. I said this morning, I said we were in this meeting and I said, we've got to get stew into a numbers costume. And, you know, I thought of this big foam thing where his face would be inside the number six or something,
Starting point is 00:50:55 but did you stop and think at any time, why did I say we got to get stew in a number's costume? custom? Stu is here to break down some numbers. He's the executive producer of the radio show, and Stu, I assume that the number two plays a role.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Because last night, one didn't really stand for anything. You were very clear after the show that you wanted the number costume to make sense. There's just nobody better as you live stats. Stu has the election by the numbers. Yeah, national polls, we're showing a definite tightening, Stu.
Starting point is 00:51:28 You're a numbers guy. Yes. Geek. I mean, I'm a poll geek. Yeah, you're a total geek. Stu's here to do the math. We also have some of the latest poll results that are in. What's the biggest fight we've ever had?
Starting point is 00:51:41 I mean, there haven't been many. Isn't that what I said? That's what I just, I just quoted you. Isn't that what I just said? That's what I said. Like you said, that's what I was indicating. Yes, that you said it. That's why I said, like you said.
Starting point is 00:51:54 I'll bring in my firearms, too. I'm not trying to start a gun battle here. You seem to be a little odd edge. You're wearing your most obnoxious Eagles sweatshirt. That's right. What's wrong with you still back in the Eagles? They're America's team. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:12 You got a friggin' eagle. And I knew there was something special about what we were doing. J.D. Vett is weird. You do that tonight on the debate. Janky VAT is weird. I like balloons. We have. Uh, Brittany on the phone.
Starting point is 00:52:34 Hello, Brittany. Are you going to shut the border down now? Let me ask you this. What about brunch? Thank you for being my friend. And thank you for being so loyal to me. And you have changed my life. And I've, I truly, um, thank you for that.
Starting point is 00:52:51 You quitter. And, uh, so today, I mean, we're not really saying goodbye to stew because, I mean, if history teaches us anything, it's that goodbyes with stews or more or, little like intermissions. You know, he leaves, he fails. It's kind of a little more like, hey, we'll see after the snack bar situation. You know what I mean? I don't know where that's coming from.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Stu, Stu started as an intern, which means at one point in his life, he fetched coffee and thought, you know, I might, I might be able to do better than this. And to his credit, he did. He was producer, executive producer, head writer of the program, which is not really a career ladder. the latter that's more of like a hostile takeover you know um
Starting point is 00:53:40 you know conducted with sarcasm and impeccable timing and he has been with me for 28 years which is longer than most Hollywood marriages uh longer than both of our marriages um longer than most governments last
Starting point is 00:53:56 uh longer than the average eagle super bowl window you know uh and here we are here we are again because stew is leaving again I just want to let, I mean, just let's be clear. He left this show once to start his own show, and it failed.
Starting point is 00:54:13 And spectacularly, I mean, none of this is true. Failure is, the failure is real. I mean, it wasn't a dignified creative differences kind of failure. This was like come crawling back like a Vietnam vet looking for his old platoon kind of failure. I don't even. And I welcome him back. I welcomed him back because that's what family does. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:54:35 It was also the type of failure. where I took over for you and left with higher ratings. That's the type of failure it was, by the way, just to you're aware. Right before. Please, let me get this out or I'll cry. Right before syndication, right before syndication, you know, the promised land. Stu almost left again, but this time he saved because, you know, he stayed because he was like, wow, that could make me a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:54:58 And so he did stay, which brings us to today where Stu is leaving us one more time. somehow or another convinced that this time will be different. Why? I don't know, because this time he's doing a show about odds. Odds, hosted by a man who has repeatedly bet against his own track record. You see what I'm saying here? A man who looks at a lifetime of date and says, yeah, but this time I kind of feel lucky. I feel lucky. I really do. So we wish him all of the best on the...
Starting point is 00:55:31 Feels like it. And by the way, no, I mean, I sincerely, I sincerely, anyway, so he's leaving again. And one of Stu's superpowers, and this is honest, is not comedic timing, although he's got some of the best comedic timing. It's emotional sabotage timing. You can guarantee if I share I mean the reason why I'm not sharing anything personal, spiritual, vulnerable is because
Starting point is 00:56:06 that's when Stu strikes. He's got this, I mean, not with a thoughtful question, not with empathy, usually it's with a fat joke, sometimes brilliant, sometimes a little lazy, but it's always perfectly timed
Starting point is 00:56:21 and devastating. And that, I mean, I can be talking about God and Stu's like, yeah, but have you considered salads? And somehow or another, it works. I mean, it's a gift. It's gift.
Starting point is 00:56:33 But one of the things we're going to miss, and a lot of people are on the phone saying that, you know, they remember all of the stuff with Super Bowls and everything else and football Fridays. And that's where you'll find his real loyalties. Stu loves three things in the world, Philadelphia Eagles, apparently quitting, and Philadelphia Eagles. He loves the Eagles more. than his wife and children, which is impressive because I'm told by Stu's new PR firm that they apparently still love him a lot. Wow. But that's what, I mean, that's just what I heard. But I wanted to give you something, Stu, because, you know, you didn't earn the car. That was
Starting point is 00:57:14 for somebody who made it 30 years. Yeah. Yeah. No, you've told me that multiple times. I wanted to get you something because, honestly, you're one of my best friends. You're one of my best friends. you are indispensable, irreplaceable, on and off the air. You've made this show funnier and smarter and sharper.
Starting point is 00:57:51 You have made me a better man. And I'm going to miss you. Interns don't last 27 years. And quitters don't get welcome back. You'd be welcome back anytime. time. And failures don't leave legacies, which you have left. Even though the odds may not be in your favor on the... Why? You know, I mean, the show will fail. We all know it. And then you'll be back and I'll leave the lights on. But I wanted to give you a gift. So if you just, I think it should be
Starting point is 00:58:32 there by you. I want to give you a gift. And just say, thank you for the best broadcast experience and the best years of my life. Thank you. Thank you, Glenn. So open up your stupid. Oh, man. This is going to be something like... What?
Starting point is 00:59:24 I don't know. What is your prediction? What's your prediction? I mean, my first guest was human waste. I thought it might just be a box of human waste. But I don't know what it is. let's see I don't know how to open it
Starting point is 00:59:40 apparently either wow it's a watch so it is a it is a brightling super chronomat there are only a hundred and four of these made they're made for the Philadelphia Eagles
Starting point is 01:00:00 if you take it out and look on the backside it has the NFL logo and the Eagles in the front of the face so it's a commemorative limited edition watch just for the eagles. There were more of them, but the Eagles threw them out and were hitting, helting Santa with them. So there's only 104 of them left, but.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Glenn, this is unbelievable. I just wanted to thank you. Oh, my God. For the time we've had together. Thank you, Glenn. This is an incredible gift. And I, you know, I, you know. I can't thank you enough for everything.
Starting point is 01:00:46 I don't want to become a stopping mess, so I'm going to stop. Okay, let's go into a commercial, shall we? That's awesome, man. Thank you. All right. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. When your phone buzzes, it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do, connecting you to the people that you care about. text from your kids, calls from friends. Strange phone never buzzes or rings with stew on the other line, but that's, you know, a different story.
Starting point is 01:01:24 But here's the part most people never think about. Your phone company is connected to all kinds of things. Big mobile corporations don't just provide service. They fund causes. They lobby for policies and support agendas with, you know, the money you send them every single month. And a lot of the time those causes are exact opposite of what you are. trying to live by. Patriot Mobile flips that script and you'll get nationwide coverage. You still get competitive pricing. You still get phones that work the way they should, but now your bill is
Starting point is 01:01:53 connected to something different. Support for free speech and religious liberty and the Second Amendment and the sanctity of life and all the things you care deeply about. Your phone already connects you to your world. Patriot Mobile makes sure your money connects you to your values. So go to Patriotmobile.com slash Beck or call 972 Patriot. Use a promo code Beck for a free month of service. Patriotmobile.com slash back 972 Patriot. Use the promo code back, make the switch today. 10 seconds. Station ID. Glenn?
Starting point is 01:02:33 Yes. You gave me a present. I actually got you a little something as well. Now, I do not have the ability maybe to select an amazing watch like you gave me, but I thought I got something that I thought you'd appreciate. And Pat has it here. It's wrapped here. Maybe show over here.
Starting point is 01:02:53 So this is something I think you'll like. Again, the only thing I know maybe more than you is sports, so I thought I could get you something cool related to your favorite player, Patrick Mahomes. So signed. Look at that right there. Look at that. That's incredible. Look at that.
Starting point is 01:03:18 Patrick Mahomes signed photo. Framed. See him? See him there? Pat? Can you point to him? Can you point to him? Right there. Yeah, that's his. Right there. Right there. Right there. Now, it is signed by Cooper de Jeanne after the pick six in the Super Bowl, but you can see Patrick Mahomes. Right there. And, you know, I... And not exactly center, but right in the front. He's a little off to the side, but a little blurry. But he is in the picture. On Monday, on Monday, as, you know, for people who are signing up for the torch, somebody's going to win an amazing picture of the Philadelphia Eagles signed by somebody. You're welcome, Glenn. I hope you appreciated that. Thank you. Thank you. I can't, wow, this is incredible. You know, what's weird is, you know what this weekend is? This is something we have tried to erase from everything that we could ever, we ever knew existed.
Starting point is 01:04:22 What do you mean? Let me just hold these up. This weekend is Gasparilla weekend. Oh, my gosh. In Tampa, Florida. We started in Tampa, and True Story is a parade. It's a crazy parade. Crazy.
Starting point is 01:04:36 It's like Mardi Gras. Crazy. And the station asked us, WFLA, asked us if we could host it. And Jeffie was there, Stu was there, I was there. And we did not want to host it. We were like, no, I don't want to host this thing. And so they made us host it. And so we had a plan.
Starting point is 01:04:53 We are going to make the most offensive broadcast that we could possibly come up with. And so we planned, like, we went all the way. We've destroyed all of these tapes. But we made it. We were rating the cheerleaders of the high school bands. And when you say we. You mean you and Jeffrey. Of course.
Starting point is 01:05:17 I mean, it was, it was horrific. And we knew it. And it was hysterical, but horrific. But we wanted to make sure that they never asked us again. Okay? That was a mistake. The exact opposite happened. It became like a really big deal.
Starting point is 01:05:31 And then they asked us every year. And thank God for syndication because I was like, I can't do that anymore. I can't do that anymore. It was horrendous. But this is the anniversary. This is the weekend of Gasparilla in Tampa. Jeff, he joins us here, by the way. Yeah, I know he changed the subject to Gasparilla.
Starting point is 01:05:48 I came in. He was giving away presents. I thought I'd be a time. Jeffrey, I have one for you. It's a signed picture of somebody in the end zone with Patrick Mahomes in the background. Wow. That's great. More in just a second.
Starting point is 01:06:24 So let me tell you about Simply Say, if you don't need a news alert to know, you know, the world feels different than it used to. I mean, people are on edge. Crime doesn't always stay somewhere else. And a lot of people are realizing you just can't assume that everything is going to going to be, you know, okay because it always has been. There's, there's a big difference between living and fear and being prepared, but, but recognizing reality. Simply safe wants to make it really easy to protect your home without turning your life upside down and you can set it up all by yourself, no drilling through walls, no pushy salespeople, nobody coming in, no long-term contracts
Starting point is 01:06:55 hanging over your head, I hate that. The system watches over your doors and your windows and your rooms. If something triggers it, you're alerted immediately. And professional monitoring can dispatch help fast. If you're living in an apartment or something, you're getting ready to move or whatever, you can take it with you. This is really, really good. And it's not about being paranoid. It's about being prepared, knowing that when you lay your head down at night, or when you leave for work
Starting point is 01:07:17 or you're gone for a while, everything is going to be okay. And your family is safe as well. And right now, you can get 50% off of any new system this month only. SimplySafe.com slash Beck. It ends this weekend. SimplySafe.com slash Beck. There is no safe.
Starting point is 01:07:34 like simply say. It's my last day today. Please join us on the new venture. Predictable show.com. And don't forget, glenbeck.com as well. So I got to tell you, I don't know why we're doing this big thing for Stu today. We're going to get to the news here in a second. But, I mean, technically I'm the one who's gone.
Starting point is 01:08:10 You guys are all together still. And I mean, you're, you know. Oh, that's a good point. Thanks for showing up for my last day. I really appreciate your dedication to our 28-year working relationship. That's great. Well, it's the only way I can deal with it is you on the other side of the country. That's the way it needs to be done.
Starting point is 01:08:26 But Pat is with me and Stu on his last day. Although Stu and Pat will be filling in, you know, for me. And Stu will be part of the show from time to time. Nice. I'd love to do that. That's fun. That would be fun. Well, it's up to Pat because Pat's really in the poll position now.
Starting point is 01:08:43 So, Pat, I mean, it's up to you. Pat, what do you think? Let me think about it. I'll have to think about it. Yeah. I'm just thinking about it. All right. And, you know, another show that Stu quit on was the Pat and Stu show with Jeffie.
Starting point is 01:08:56 That's nice. Thank you. Right? Is that, Jeffie, am I not right? Yeah, you are 100% correct. It's a real shame to see Stu go. And now you're saying it's going to be back. I'm not a fan of that.
Starting point is 01:09:08 I think the typical radio job averages like 16 months. I last for 28 years and I got called a quitter on my last day over and over and over again. Yeah, but you got 100% certified repleteenons. Replica watch. Yeah, you didn't, by the way, you didn't get this from Jeffrey. You didn't buy this from Jeffie because his are knockoffs. You realize he sells knockoff. No, they're 100% certified replicas.
Starting point is 01:09:28 Yeah, no, technically I didn't get it from Jeffie. I might have purchased it from Jeffie, but I didn't get it from Jeffie. So we have a lot of people on the phone. Let me go to Luke in Maine. Hello, Luke. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Hello. I have a quick story about how the good Lord
Starting point is 01:09:49 possibly spared my life for two Super Bowls, Pat, Stu, Glenn, and a sandwich. Oh, obviously. All right. Good setup. Yeah. Well, in December of 2001, I went through a windshield of a car in a car accident, nearly died. Then a couple months later in February, the Patriotian. it's won a Super Bowl.
Starting point is 01:10:21 That night, I was in a rollover in Westville, Virginia on my way to Kentucky, and Jeffrey actually promised land by Elvis was playing at the time. Oh, yeah, there you go. Then years later, the
Starting point is 01:10:37 plumber for LLB, he got me hooked on your show. That was around 2004. Then, fast forward to 2005. two actually rigged more on trivia. Oh, that's false.
Starting point is 01:10:52 That is false. Yes. I would never do such a thing. That is absolutely true. Stu used to rig it all the time. All the time. What are you talking about? Amy would rig it all the time.
Starting point is 01:11:03 I wasn't the commissioner. The commissioner was created because of that. Yes. Thank you, Jeffie. Anyway, Luke, go ahead with your fine, fine story. A gentleman by the. name of Pat Gray called in and threw a flag. And he called out Stu on that because there were so many smart people calling in on the
Starting point is 01:11:27 Philadelphia side. There's just smart people that are Eagles fans. There's nothing I can do about that. If you're smart, you're Eagles fans. Who knew all 12 of them in Philadelphia would be able to call on that day? Then somehow it painted the picture that us New England is, we're stupid. Wow. No, it's neither here nor there.
Starting point is 01:11:47 No, it's wrong. That's just wrong. Facts are facts. It is wrong then. It's wrong now. It sure is. Right. America's heard it.
Starting point is 01:11:56 And I threw that flag clear from Houston, Texas. That's right. That's an important element. That's how important it was to throw that flag. Luke, can you bring us to the sandwich into the saving of the light? Well, still made that bet with you. And then you sent him out in Philly with that New England Super Bowl shirt on. you sent him to the Liberty Bell.
Starting point is 01:12:19 He screamed out, the Liberty Bell is broken, so is the Constitution. No, I don't think so. Can we play? We actually happen to have the tape. We actually have the tape of this. Can you play the tape of Stu and his punishment? Here he is, at the Liberty Bell. The Constitution sucks.
Starting point is 01:12:50 It's going to ruin my future political career, that's for sure. actually my so I had a soda probably fix the damn bell was this two was this a separate time from you when you had to
Starting point is 01:13:03 when I no you you actually said the steps of so the thing was I wanted to go to the Super Bowl I was very excited it was my first Super Bowl
Starting point is 01:13:11 and I I thought I was hoping the Eagles would win but you said if the Eagles lose you were going to come back and I was going to have to be tortured when I came back
Starting point is 01:13:20 so you made me run up the rocky steps which by the way way too much exercise that was the first piece of torture. But then at the top, you made me yell with a sign, Rocky was a loser too.
Starting point is 01:13:32 And then I was required to go. People of Philadelphia have such a good sense of humor. Oh, yeah, I didn't almost get murdered at each location. The second one was I went to the Liberty Bell and told them the stupid bell is broken, fixed the damn bell. And then the third one was actually maybe the most embarrassing, which is I had to go to, I think it was Gino's cheese steak. and order a hamburger sub with Swiss.
Starting point is 01:14:02 Which they don't appreciate that. No, they don't make that. They're not exactly the type that just say, I'm sorry, sir, we don't, we don't serve that. No, that's not the thing. They do. But, you know, I got to go see a Super Bowl, even though they lost it. So eventually they did wind up winning two, just to remind you.
Starting point is 01:14:21 You'll be doing a lot of those things. Let me go to Mike. in Illinois on line 6. Hello, Mike. Good morning, guys. First of all, you guys ever come to Chicago? Let me know. I'll put 20 pounds on you because I'll take you all the good place to eat. There we go.
Starting point is 01:14:36 It's awesome. All right. 20 pounds, that's one pizza in Chicago. Yeah, yeah. And it's not deep dish. It's not deep dish. It's this tavern thin crust. So forget to see this.
Starting point is 01:14:47 All you like deep dishes, all you want to like deep dish is the travel channel. So that's about it. Anyway, two, what's up with this? Well, why are you going to, you know, do this to us? You've got to leave us. You're leaving us with the pale white guy. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:15:03 I mean, that's not a way to talk about Pat or Jeff. He's going to auger, he's going to auger to show like a Cessna 150 in about two weeks. I mean, you know, what, it keeps us together here. I mean, why do you got to be like that? I apologize. I will say this, though. Yes, he is a very pasty white guy, but he moved to. Florida. This guy's going to be George Hamilton
Starting point is 01:15:25 in a few weeks. Like this is going to, he's going to be, he is going to look. I am so riddled with skin cancer. My wife will not let me outside. I look at the sun and she's like, get an umbrella. I'm like, oh my God. There was your tanning boards. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Yeah, that's not happening. Let me go to Cody in Texas. Hello, Cody. Hey, fellas. How you doing? Hey. Good. How are you? You're going to be missed. I'm great. I'm remembering about 25 years ago, you were on a serious phone call with a lady named Gene, and I think you were telling her about a relative that had passed away
Starting point is 01:16:01 that was riddled with SIDS, and Stu kept chiming in with the feminine high, and you kept saying her name, and I nearly wrecked my truck listening to that bit. So I'll rush it up from the past. Oh, no, we remember that one quite well. That was one of our favorites as well. I'm surprised anybody else does.
Starting point is 01:16:19 I mean, we have been overwhelmed this week with people online, the people, the insiders, and people have been calling and writing, remembering things that we have done, that we have completely, I mean, most of it, I swear we never did.
Starting point is 01:16:32 I swear we never did. I'd like to believe we didn't do some of them. I'd like to believe that, yeah, right, yeah. It's really true. You know,
Starting point is 01:16:40 so many people reaching out. It's been really cool to go down that, that memory lane, if you will. And so many of them are either incredibly embarrassing, really, really funny, even happened. I mean, like, you guys
Starting point is 01:16:56 have such a great memory compared to us. I don't know. I know yours was drugs, Glenn, but I don't know why I'm having a problem with it. I mean, they were posting pictures, but I saw pictures of Stu and I in the studio falling asleep to Glenn's radio show in 2001. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:11 I don't think we need to. Let me go to John in Indiana. Hello, John. Hey, Glenn. Hey, Stu. Hey, John. We're really going to miss you here, Stu. but let me tell you, five of us got together through ten bucks each into a pool. We wrote down different things
Starting point is 01:17:33 of what we thought you were going to do and then to figure out who was going to be right had to pull it from the hat. Well, Stu, you lost me 50 bucks so I pulled out of the hat that you were going to do gay porn. Yeah, you know, I had considered it. There's really, with AI coming in, though, there's just not a future there, you know?
Starting point is 01:17:56 What's weird is he was going to do it with Don Lemon until Don Lemon was arrested in Los Angeles today. That's cheating on with other prisoners. Yeah. Prisoners of love. Prisoners of love. Okay. Mark in Virginia. Hey, guys.
Starting point is 01:18:18 Wow, what a bittersweet day. Stu, I just want to know what it's been like to work with Glenn. I notice he changes his image packaging every two or three months. What is it like to work with a guy who can change on time? And Glenn, you're creative. You're like a Michael Landon, to me, honest to God. Just there's so much that's love out of you, and I know you have great people around you. I'm waiting for you to blow up the little city like Michael Landon did.
Starting point is 01:18:44 But anyway, I'll never forget, real quick. Don Amos says, I love Glenn Beck, but I'm worried they're going to take him out of 30 Rock, on a straight jacket. So what's it been like to work with a guy that might be taken out of the room with a straight jacket, Stu? It has been everything that Don I misdescribed. There have been many times I've seen people come up to the door and I hoped it was an authority figure of some sort to remove a gladden. Unfortunately, you're leaving too early for that. Yeah. Wait until after the next election or two. Oh my gosh. I don't look, I might be leaving, but I will say this. I don't, it's going to be a very interesting next few years.
Starting point is 01:19:20 trying to figure all this stuff out, man. We are going to be on fire. And, you know, I hope, I hope this, it's what Glenn always says to me when we go to the break and we're just like, God, what is going to happen. And he goes, you know, the way I always look at it is, it's going to be really interesting to see how this all plays out. And if you kind of just think of it that way, you're right. If it's just like kind of a movie that we're all watching, everything, wow, that was
Starting point is 01:19:44 an interesting movie. Disassociate yourself. It's like a rock action film, you know? You're just like, oh, gosh, you'll probably see it. saved the day. Who knows? Let's hope. Let's hope boys and girls. Yeah. A little less optimistic than a rock action film that the ending is going to work out the right way. Of course, the wolf has wings.
Starting point is 01:20:05 Of course, the wolf. That's exactly. All right. Back with more in a second. Let me tell you about the burn a launcher. I want you to be able to protect yourself and your family. The burn a launcher is a great way to do it. You know, you just refuse to be helpless. But understand also that using lethal force is a line you never want to cross unless there's absolutely no other choice. And you're prepared for it. Most people say, I carry a gun, but have you gone, have you gone to the range? Are you good at it?
Starting point is 01:20:34 Berna is a less lethal self-defense tool. It fires powerful kinetic and pepper and tear gas projectiles. And it's designed to stop a threat without permanently ending a life. It gives you distance. It gives you control. gives you an option between shouting and shooting, and the compact launcher makes it even more practical. I mean, in today's world with what we're seeing, we talked earlier about what Tim Walls said.
Starting point is 01:21:00 Tim Walls is now, I mean, this is insane, saying that this is either Fort Sumter or John Brown. Either way, that puts him in either a Confederate role or a violent extremist. Uh, not good, Tim, but you figure that one out. The guy doesn't even know our own history. Anyway, um, you want to make sure that you are safe. Your family is safe. My kids carry it in a backpack.
Starting point is 01:21:30 My wife has it in her purse. We have a glove box. Everybody in my family over 20, uh, has one or over 18 has a Burna launcher. You can get yours now. You can even try before you buy at a sportsman's warehouse. Find the location near you at Burna, B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Glenn. That's burner. dot com slash glenn
Starting point is 01:21:49 likes aren't love retweets aren't showing up real people still matter glen beck back in a moment another memory we can go through all the memories of the shows over the years another memory I have almost every holiday season
Starting point is 01:22:19 was a Pat Gray who would come in to the office with incredibly delicious cookies over and over and over again And I, we, fact, not just me, but everybody around here would be like, why do you keep bringing these to us? Why don't you sell them nationwide? That's what you should do. And we didn't, I don't think it was our idea, you know, like, but it wound up happening.
Starting point is 01:22:41 The truth actually finally came out. These cookies are now available to you. They're called Kexie cookies, K-E-K-S-I. It's a great option for Valentine's Day. These are gourmet cookies made with high-quality ingredients. The best cookies you're ever going to eat. They are rich. They are indulgent.
Starting point is 01:22:56 and they're the kind of treat that you don't just, you know, inhale in two bites. That's, I don't think possible for anyone outside of potentially, Jeffie. That's, they have a hot chocolate cookie. They have in-house marshmallow cream, a deep layer of chocolate that tastes like someone turned your favorite winter drink into a dessert. They also have, that's just one flavor. They've got, you know, great flavors in the Valentine's Day box. It's, that, of course, sold out.
Starting point is 01:23:22 And they always tell me after it's sold out. But if you go to kexie.com, check out the cookies. They do have available. take the thinking out of Valentine's gifting for this year. If you grab one of their standard cookie boxes, just use the code stew. Get 15% off. You will love these cookies, I promise you.
Starting point is 01:23:36 Kexie.com. Use the code Stu. Don't forget, we have a Q&A for Stu's last day. It's a fourth hour to the program available at glenbeck.com right after this. We'll be going and do that. Jeffie, you're going to stay with us for that? I can most certainly. Have we just
Starting point is 01:24:04 forgotten when Stu quit the first time? No, it's all. We've talked about. When you first came to Tampa, because that was my favorite memory when Stu wasn't there. Yeah. Right. Right. Should have never let him crawl back.
Starting point is 01:24:20 We've never let him crawl back. This is why we started Predictable Show.com so that I could avoid, I could be out of here and never, ever have to see Jeffie again. That was a big part of my decision here. To just get a little more distance if there wasn't enough already. So thank you, Jeff. I appreciate that. By the way, Mangillon, they've just decided that he cannot face the death penalty charges in New York.
Starting point is 01:24:51 And he has been now, apparently, the state charges of New York second-degree murder. Second-degree murder. How is that second-degree? I don't know. The judge dismissed the federal murder and related weapons charge. And so they can't seek the capital punishment. Why? I really, I would love to know.
Starting point is 01:25:15 Is anybody following this? We'll do our homework here during the break. I would really like to know, how can you, as a judge, dismiss the weapons charge and the federal murder charge? This was so premeditated. He knew exactly what he was doing. He was waiting for the guy. That's not first-degree murder. How?
Starting point is 01:25:37 Sure seems like it to me. What do we think of the possibility of releasing him and putting him in a rental car with a GPS pre-programmed to Jeffie's house? Thoughts? I mean, I can't say no when he shows up. They all love him now. They do. You know what a superstar that guy would be in Minneapolis right now? Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 01:26:01 They all love him now. Worshipped as a hero. I mean, the king of the new chas. Yeah, they worship him as a hero. Did you see the guy that tried to break him out of prison? by showing up and pretending to be an FBI agent. Yeah, unbelievable. It almost worked, but yeah, not quite.
Starting point is 01:26:15 Not quite. But he's a sticking hero to these people. He's an absolute hero to them. So was the person that Tim Walsh quoted yesterday. So was John Brown. He was a violent extremist. Everyone knew that at the time. Tim Wals is now holding him up
Starting point is 01:26:37 as a as a hero. Wow. He was an insurrectionist. Tim, learn your history. Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Patriot Mobile. You probably wouldn't shop at a store if you knew they were using your money to, you know, I don't know, support things you strongly disagree with.
Starting point is 01:26:55 If you knew that they were, you know, running drugs across the border or they were involved in something just totally immoral, would you shop at that store anymore? Of course you wouldn't. Of course you wouldn't. So why are you doing it with some of these big cell phone companies? I've told you for a while now that, Verizon, they contribute to Planned Parenthood. Well, depending on, I mean, if you just think that's a choice, then you don't have a problem with it.
Starting point is 01:27:17 If you think that that's murder, you're involving yourself. Every time you pay that bill, you're helping them. Murder children. What are you thinking?

Starting point is 01:28:56 Hey, welcome to Friday. It's the Glenn Beck program. This is opening weekend for Melania, a new film that is out. It's getting panned by all the critics, but of course it is. It looks stunning, looks amazing. Tanya and I are going to go see it tomorrow. And I mean, when I see the critics do this, I mean, they have so maligned Melania.
Starting point is 01:29:17 They have been so nasty to her. It makes me want to buy up every ticket in a theater and just to support. This woman, can you just leave her alone, please, for the love of Pete? Gosh, she's not involved in the politics of anything. She's so sweet. She's so smart, so nice.
Starting point is 01:29:38 And look at what they're doing. And by the way, the most beautiful first lady we have ever had, bar none. And that includes Jackie Kennedy. All right, there's a couple of things. Yesterday there was a cabinet meeting, and Besson made a point of dropping in and saying, hey, I just want to give you an update on the economy. It's worth hearing.
Starting point is 01:29:59 Also, we should talk a little bit about the new Fed chair that is coming in. And it's Stu's last day on the day. the program. We have all of this and so much more coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about my Patriot Supply.

Starting point is 01:31:20 Yes. Hello, Glenn. Excuse me. I'm getting, uh, my voice is starting to crack. This is going to be terrible. I hope everyone can just tune out now. So we don't have to hear any of this. But, uh, thank you, Glenn.
Starting point is 01:31:33 Thanks for having me on for, I don't know, 28 years. so. Stu is leaving us and honestly I was going to talk him out of it. And then I realized, think of the money I'm saving on that salary. Yeah. I'm kidding. But actually, I heard what his plan was and I think this is, this is perfect for Stu. This is something that I think he was born to do because it goes into what he has always liked.
Starting point is 01:32:02 Stu is a numbers guy, always been. he's almost like an idiot savant when it comes to stuff like this, emphasis on idiot. And he has always been the best at giving us the look at the poll numbers, et cetera, et cetera. And he has been fascinated for years with the betting markets. Because, Stu, Pat, Jeffrey, do you remember right after 9-11 DARPA came out with this betting market that they were going to do with the five eyes, all the intelligence agencies? right? And everybody was like, no, that's horrible. How can you profit off that? And it's like, no, that's the best way to predict what's coming. Have people put money on what they think is the, is the most likely scenario. And of course, DARPA stopped it because political pressure, but it was a
Starting point is 01:32:54 brilliant idea. Stu believes in that approach as well to find out what's coming next. And he's also, I mean, I paid him so much money. He could just afford to throw it away on the betting markets. And it turns out he's, you know, he's right on the, when he looks at prediction markets. So he's starting, he's starting one and going to be doing a show based on that. You can find all of the information at predictable show.com. It's a very predictable show.com. Predictable show.com. Go there. And if you put in your email address, it's free, by the way, and you'll get our first preview of the 2026 Senate outlook. That's going to be, obviously, going to be taking up a lot of our time, I think.
Starting point is 01:33:39 Hopefully, Glenn, we can come back. I can come back and talk about it. I mean, if you'd have me. I would love to come back on. Maybe. And, you know, occasionally. I think we're booked that day. Glenn, are we booked up that day?
Starting point is 01:33:50 Thank you. You're right. I was just looking at the calendar. I didn't give a. That day is completely booked. I didn't. Completely. What about, really?
Starting point is 01:33:59 What about the day before? No, it's not already jammed. That's just a bad week for us. Sorry. So, dude, that's terrible. Dang it. Gosh, God, the love told. Darn it.
Starting point is 01:34:09 I didn't give a specific week. Dang, darn it. If only, we could just squeeze. We can't. Dang it. No, but we could find. Oh, darn, I wish. I really do for your sake, especially,
Starting point is 01:34:22 I wish. Oh, darn it. Oh, no. Dang it. Oh, we just can't. It would be really any time. We're booked really that whole. whole month.
Starting point is 01:34:31 Yeah, but any, any month would be, would be fine. No, it's really the whole quarter of the whole year. Really, it is. Yeah. And then the quarter after that is even worse.
Starting point is 01:34:40 Yeah, for squeezing guests in. That's a good point, it's a good point. It is predictable. It is predictable. It is predictable. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:51 Yeah. Predictable show.com, go sign up. And we will be, I will make sure to hit up Cal She and Polly Market to put anti-Glenbeck markets, all over that thing. I will be predicting him.
Starting point is 01:35:02 We're predicting his weight. I will be, we will have, I will hit them up to post markets like crazy, just a mock. Turn his microphone off. All right. Also, one other reminder. This is the last weekend.
Starting point is 01:35:20 It's free for glenbeck.com and torch. If you would like to become a member of Torch, all you have to do is go to glenbeck.com. This is the last weekend. next week I'll be telling you more about it, but I'm going to make it inflation proof. I am never going to raise your price. You know, we set the price at $999 for Blaze years and years ago. With inflation, that is, that actually is like $6.
Starting point is 01:35:45 Because they never raised their price. And so now it's like $6 instead of $999. So, you know, the way things are going, this thing will be worth like a dime. I'll be out of business in no time. but inflation proof if you join the first month, and it starts on Monday, first month, you'll not only get something special I'll talk to you about on Monday, but also you are going to be inflation proof for the rest of your life. And this is one of the reasons why I'm ditching this place, Glenn's business sense.
Starting point is 01:36:18 A man who tells you every day that they're printing trillions and trillions of dollars, We all know the inflation is coming right around the corner. And he gets all this great content, which is going up on Torch, that is awesome. I mean, you're doing a great job with us. And outside of my thing, I would love for you to sign up for my thing, but you should totally sign up for Torch because you're going to get so much great stuff. And this is your last chance to get it here over the next couple of days for free. So check it out before you do. But, I mean, you're going to make this.
Starting point is 01:36:49 I don't need your mercy. I don't need your service. You're going to make this. I mean, the first month I ever, what I heard, everyone gets a free car. sign up for the first month. A free lotus. Shut all their microphones off now, Sarah. Would you please?
Starting point is 01:37:01 Open up Jason's mic. Jason, who is doing the insider broadcast. You just played something from Besson. There was a cabinet meeting yesterday. Can you play this again? This is, you know, the economy could go one of two ways. Listen to what Besson said yesterday in the cabinet meeting.
Starting point is 01:37:21 Aipa power you used on the tariffs, as you said. We're bringing in tens of trillions of investments. The tens of trillions of investments turns into factories construction, which turns into factory jobs, which turns into consumer spending. You've right-sized the government. So government and employment is down. Private sector is up. Growth was a stunning 4.7, 4.8% in the past two quarters.
Starting point is 01:37:48 Biggest back-to-back gains in a decade. And we are doing that with government finances, So that will bring down the borrowing costs, the calendar year budget for 2024, 7% deficit to GDP, highest when we weren't at war, not in the recession, all the way down to 5.4% and getting better. Biggest decline since 2014.
Starting point is 01:38:13 Generational gains in productivity, soaring productivity, we're gonna lift workers pay record high prices, record high profits, and stock prices are soaring. You've got a manufacturing renaissance and all the key inflation metrics are trending lower. Over the past three months, the consumer price index is just 2.1 and core prices are even lower at 1.6. And I think that that could trend below one given energy, as you talked about, the pharmaceutical discounts and rents. So we're expecting a great year in 2026, Mr. President.
Starting point is 01:38:52 I have to tell you, either this president is absolutely right or, I mean, because he's, he is, he's changing the economic systems or the belief in the old way of doing things. And we haven't seen inflation. Now his latest is, Jason, what do you know about Kevin Warsh, the new nominee for Fed of the Fed? Kevin Warsh is a very, very safe pick. If you want to get somebody in there and not have to worry about him getting. denied in a confirmation. I think that everyone would be willing to vote for him. So he's been on the Board of Governors before. We know that he has said in the past that he is looking for there needs to be total regime change within the Fed now. So he's on board with the president there. He's now
Starting point is 01:39:38 in line with lowering interest rates. So it's pretty much everything the president wants to happen. And he's also a safe pick to actually be able to go through the process and get in. So that is a really interesting thing. Because if he lowers the interest rates, conventional wisdom would say inflation is going to climb higher. But everything that the president has done so far in the first year, everyone has said inflation is going to go out of control. And he has actually reduced inflation. It's just over 2% inflation, which is the target of the Fed. I don't know how this is happening. I mean, he told me a year ago, he said, glad I'm going to convince you that I'm going to make you a
Starting point is 01:40:21 tariff guy and I said I don't know I'm I'm to the point now where I mean I think it's actually kind of working at least for sure on the on the negotiation and you know in world stage it's not necessarily the most fun but he's getting so much done on the world stage with the tariffs that I I got to tell you I He might be changing my mind in a lot of things, but only time will tell. Thank you, Jason.
Starting point is 01:40:57 You bet. So I don't know if you guys saw the latest on the Donroe Doctrine, the stuff that is coming out of, you know, this hemisphere now. This was announced yesterday. First of all, Venezuela said their oil industry is going to go back to private. They're going to privatize the oil industry, which is the best thing that could happen for Venezuela. the Panama has voided the China contract, which was one of the first things that the president said he wanted to happen. They now,
Starting point is 01:41:30 so they've kicked China out of the Panama Canal entirely. That's a really big deal. And then yesterday he put sanctions, new sanctions on Cuba. He's going to try to collapse Cuba. Wow. That's a lot. There's a lot going on.
Starting point is 01:41:49 They're also saying, that they just released three million pages of Epstein files. And 2,000 videos know where how many Jeffey's in. Oh, I would tell you. 2000. I mean, oh, no, he's on every page. Or he's behind the camera, one of the two. So what are they saying these are of?
Starting point is 01:42:13 This is supposed to be, I think, everything. That doesn't mean we're going to. I don't know if it's all but going to be redacted. I mean, three million pages with 2,99999 redacted isn't going to help us. So I don't know. They haven't really specified that yet. You have to believe the overwhelming majority is just boring, nothing, right? Like, it's not like going to be three million in interesting documents.
Starting point is 01:42:35 I'm sure a lot of it is just, you know, investigation throwaways. I just had a conversation with Jonathan Turley. And it airs next week on Torch. We spoke about an hour on insurrection. and everything, but I asked him about the Clinton subpoena and how they're rejecting it and what Congress should do. I'd like to get your opinion on guys what you think should be done with that. And then I want to tell you what he said.
Starting point is 01:43:07 I mean, it was pretty stunning. We'll do that in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about relief factor.

Starting point is 01:44:29 Okay, so the Clintons, Bill and Hillary, both have been subpoenaed by Congress to testify on Capitol Hill about Epstein. And it's really, I think it's a fishing expedition. They don't have anything hardcore. They just want to ask them questions. Okay. So Bill and Hillary said, nope, we're not going to do it. Now, this is a subpoena from Congress. this has never been done before by
Starting point is 01:44:56 like president and former first lady or you know secretary of state but the last time it did happen two people went to jail, went to prison for it I thought that the Congress would back off because it would just be the Republicans doing it and the Clintons would just use it for propaganda purposes see they're
Starting point is 01:45:17 just trying to get even with us but actually Democrats said no you guys to show up for this subpoena. I was talking to Jonathan Turley about it. What do you think should happen on that? Should they go after and arrest them and put them in prison for this or not? Stu?
Starting point is 01:45:38 Should they put him in prison? You know, obviously there's a lot more to it than just that snap decision, but it does seem like there's something there, no? You don't agree? I'm just asking. are you just asking no i'll give you my opinion here a second yeah i mean don't they if nobody's above the law you got to hold them in contempt of congress i don't know if they go immediately to prison but right they got to be held there's a process i mean i do i want to see them perp walked handcuffed
Starting point is 01:46:09 oh my gosh yes but that's not going to happen so my feeling has been this is going to be nothing but used as propaganda to set the country even more on fire, yada, yada, yada. I'm talking to Turley, and this interview comes out next week. I'm talking to Turley, and I ask him about it, and he's like, oh, they have to be arrested. I'm like, what? He's like, no, there's no question. Constitutionally, he's like, this is the most blatant violation of a subpoena I've ever seen. Wow.
Starting point is 01:46:38 He said, and they did it intentionally because he believes they just think they're above the law, that nobody's going to come after him. And he said they have to. If, yeah, he said if they don't go after them, if they don't put them in jail or at least arrest them for this and then go to trial, if they don't, he's like there is no, there's no law. There's no law. These guys are way above the law. I mean, I thought that was, he's pretty, you know, he's pretty solid, but he's also pretty temperate. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:11 He's not going to just, he's not like a, you know, a wild tweeter. You know, he's not just some guy saying things for shock. you. That's a meaningful coming from him. Yeah. Well, maybe they just asked them, maybe they asked them nicely again. Oh, yeah. That's a good idea. Come on. Please. Please. Yeah. Come on. They said pretty please with sugar on it yet. I don't think that first subpoena said that. Probably not. Can you imagine, though, how how satisfying it would be for those guys to finally go to jail? Oh, my gosh. I mean, think of all of the things that they have gotten away with. Yeah. What's the, what's the echo of this? though, Glenn. Like, what does this look like? Like, let's say they do arrest them. What is,
Starting point is 01:47:51 when the Democrats are in office next time, what's the world look like? Well, because of the way the Democrats are playing all of this, I think even if they don't arrest him, arrest them, in 20, uh, 2028 if the Democrats have control of everything, even 2026, if they win this next election, they have control of the House and the Senate, um, we're all in trouble because they will go out. I mean, they are already talking about treason for people. They're talking about executions for people. I mean, legitimate people are talking about you're going to be held as a collaborator. So they're dead serious.
Starting point is 01:48:34 They will purge. These are Marxist revolutionaries you're dealing with. And purges always come with Marxist revolutionaries. I personally do not think that this is revenge. I think this is justice. the way I see it, it is justice. These guys have gotten away with crimes for a very long time. And that's one of the reasons why I was not for arresting them on this,
Starting point is 01:48:55 because, you know, until I talked to Turley, I didn't think that I thought this was kind of like a trap that they were setting for them. And I don't want to see anybody set up for a trap. I want them to legitimately go to jail for legitimate crimes. And that's the only way we get out. But I will tell you, when the Democrats win, there's going to be a very high price to pay. They will purge.
Starting point is 01:49:22 All right, more in a minute. There are women right now facing pregnancies that they feel completely unprepared for. They are scared. They are unalone. They are convinced they have no good options. Really, no one in their life is telling them, it's a baby. It's a baby. They're saying, get rid of it.
Starting point is 01:49:49 Get rid of it. Preborn is stepping into that moment with those moms with compassion and real help. And through the work with their network of clinics, they provide free ultrasounds. They also have care counseling. They support moms who need it for up to two years after the baby is born. Here's what they've seen again and again. When a mom sees her baby on an ultrasound, everything changes.
Starting point is 01:50:11 Often she chooses life, but she's still like, I can't make it by myself. This is not about arguments. It's about love and support, giving both mom and a baby a chance at a future. Preborn is celebrating 20 years of saving babies. And there's a moment right now that, where you can save countless lives for years to come.
Starting point is 01:50:31 An ultrasound machine doesn't just show a picture. It introduces a mom to her child, and many clinics don't have one, nor can they afford one. They're about $15,000 apiece. If you can get one, that'd be great. If you can just chip in on anything you can give, it's tax deductible, donate, pound 250, say the keyword baby. Pound 250, baby.
Starting point is 01:50:51 With my last 10-second tease, let me tell you to go to predictable show.com. Give you to your email. It's free. You've got a 2026 Senate preview. What? Hold it. Wait. Coming up in just a few minutes after the radio broadcast, we're going online at glenbeck.com and everywhere else.
Starting point is 01:51:23 And you'll be able to watch a Q&A for Stu's last day. Today is Stu's last broadcast with me. He's been with me since 1997. And it's been a remarkable run. And I know very little about Stu, honestly. because he's a lot like Spock. He doesn't share emotions. We were joking in studio earlier today that if he died,
Starting point is 01:51:52 we all probably wouldn't know for maybe two years after he's dead. Well, I definitely wouldn't be able to tell you after I was dead. He does not open up emotionally. So this is going to be fun to watch because he asked for some time he said he wanted, Glenn, can I have just a few minutes just to talk to the audience? And I said, sure. So go ahead, Stu. We're listening.
Starting point is 01:52:15 Thank you, Glenn. I appreciate that. I will say, despite you, this has been a great time working on this particular program, 28 years. It has been my entire professional career. This is going to suck. Sorry about all this, people. but I really can't picture adult life without doing the show. I have no experience as an adult not doing the show.
Starting point is 01:52:50 And it's weird to think about it that way. My wife is standing in the corner. And Glenn outranks her when it comes to time that I've even known them, which is a scary thing to think about. When I first met Glenn, I was hanging up balloons. That was my job. balloons and you know
Starting point is 01:53:11 Glenn and I'm not talking to Glenn I want to make sure this is clear I'm talking to the audience not even thinking about Glenn right now but I am telling you a story which is Glenn
Starting point is 01:53:24 you know took me from hanging balloons and gave me an entire career he taught me everything I know and he had nothing to gain from it at all well I did get him a lot of bacon egg and cheese sandwiches but outside of that he had nothing to gain from it. I had no,
Starting point is 01:53:45 no experience in this industry at all. And he was the biggest, you know, personality in the entire state. He had no reason to help me with this stuff. He took me from, you know, promotions to an intern, to a producer, to an executive producer, to a co-host, from a smaller market to a larger market,
Starting point is 01:54:06 to a national show, to national television. to one of the first ever streaming networks, from an event at a car dealership with literally zero attendees, to the mall in Washington, D.C. with 500,000. You know, you might not know this, but Glenn has been incredibly generous. The entire time we've worked together. And he was equally generous as we tried to, you know,
Starting point is 01:54:36 figure out whether we were going to continue to do the show. And in the end, I feel like he really needs someone who's 100% devoted to the really cool things he's doing on Torch. It's an amazing project and he's got amazing people working on it. There's a great staff here. And, you know, I'm going to go do my thing at predictable show.com. So please join us, but please join at glenbeck.com too. There's a lot you're going to be excited about coming up. But I just want you the audience to know that I am endlessly grateful to Glenn.
Starting point is 01:55:18 For everything he's done for my career, for my family, and for me, he is a great friend. And my decision to go, you know, work with a washed up DJ whose career was just over all those years ago, will always be the best decision of my entire professional life. And I, you know, I will acknowledge that there are a few people out there. I've noticed this occasionally who don't appreciate Glenn quite the same way that I do. You may have noticed a mildly negative statement made about him in the media from time to time. from politicians, from other commentators. And I will say, while Glenn has been very successful and has been rewarded with many, many accolades he does not deserve,
Starting point is 01:56:24 I want you in the audience to know the truth that he has sacrificed an incredible amount that he will never tell you about. He's done all of this because he has a true desire to make this country a better place. This is earnest. many people have made fun of him over the years because of it but Glenn is really truly a man who believes in the American people in this country you might doubt this you might think that I'm lying you might think that this is just something I'm saying it because he gave me a really cool watch but if you doubt it I want you to be aware that you are wrong
Starting point is 01:57:18 and you are dumb and shut up I want to swear at you, but I will not. I will not blow a no swear streak on the last day. I'm on the air, I promise you, stations. I also, I want to just say that that's my friend you're talking about when you say those things about it. And it's not cool. And he's taken a beating for a long time. And he's pushed through it.
Starting point is 01:57:49 And he's survived a lot of things that you'll never know about and he will never tell you about. But I hope. I hope as we go on here, and I'm no longer on the show, that you really do appreciate it. I hope you appreciate everything he's done. On the other side of this, I want to thank you, the audience of the show. You are the greatest audience that has ever been assembled. Whenever we have an event and you're here and we get together in person, a lot of you say something like, you know, I feel like I know you guys. It's so weird because, you know, I, you guys are all talking.
Starting point is 01:58:26 We know you. And then on the other side of this, like, you don't know me at all. And it is a weird dynamic. It really is a strange thing. Some of that's true. I mean, most of you that will never meet, most of you will never call. Most of you will never send a message on social media or anything like that. You'll hear our voice.
Starting point is 01:58:46 And it kind of feels like a one-way relationship. But I want to give you a little bit of perspective from my side after 28 years. the truth of all of this is that you mean way more to us than we mean to you. I mean, if we're extraordinarily lucky, maybe we say something that makes you laugh, or maybe we say something that helps you with a little ammunition in an argument with one of your stupid friends. You know, maybe you get a little perspective from us for, you know, once in a while. but you might not know this but you've changed my life completely you've changed my family's life every time i've interacted with you almost without fail you've been kind and smart and funny
Starting point is 01:59:44 and willing to do anything for this country to make it a better place for everyone including my children you know they're think about this sometimes they're going to be around living in this country that you're spending all this time and effort trying to save. And it means an incredible amount to me. And it's also not an exaggeration that you have literally saved tens of thousands of lives. And think about that. That sounds like such a ridiculous thing to say about a radio audience. You have saved tens of thousands of lives. People in Afghanistan running from the Taliban, people who had their lives completely destroyed because of a hurricane or a tornado, a woman in Canada who was on the verge of willingly committing suicide.
Starting point is 02:00:42 We told you that story and you stepped up and you saved her life. You've done it every single time we've asked. It's incredible. All I can say honestly to the entire audience is thank you. Thank you for putting up with me for 28 years. Thank you for laughing when I make fun of Glenn. And thank you for caring so much about the people and the country around you. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 02:01:17 I honestly mean it. And I love you. I want to get the last word in here because I feel exactly the same way about Stu. And we have been joking an awful lot today. and both of us. This, I've never seen too like this before. I'm sorry. He hides this.
Starting point is 02:01:45 No, he hides this a great deal and I'm the exact opposite of it. But here's what I would like to leave you with today because this is all deeply personal to us and probably not so personal to you. But it is, you know, as I get older, everything I once thought that was really, really important begins to fade. and I want to leave you with something that you can take from this show.
Starting point is 02:02:21 In my 20s, I really believed that fame and fortune was the point. Making a name for myself was the point. It was the mission. And in my 20s and in my teens, I put that above absolutely everything else. And I leased happiness or what I thought happiness was until the lease is expired and I was left with nothing except wasted time. and wrong answers. Because of the men sitting in this room,
Starting point is 02:03:08 Jeffie, Stu, Pat, I know what matters. Family, real friends. How much you can share with somebody. How hard you try to uplift others. And how many you can encourage while you can. My dad used to say, if you're lucky son, you will have one or two really good friends in your life
Starting point is 02:03:39 who will stay through the good times and the bad and will be there for all of it. It's taken me a lifetime to have these friends. You don't earn these friends, they just appear. And I have been blessed in the second phase of my life to have friends I don't deserve, but I do cherish. For those of you who are younger, who really don't know what life is all about yet. This is what life is all about.
Starting point is 02:04:30 Good people you travel with. Good people you share when you have nothing. Good people who lift you when you just don't think you can stand it another day that encourage you to keep going. To ignore the stones that are being thrown your way. and to follow what you believe you hear from God to do, even when the friends can't see it themselves. If I had my life to do all over again,
Starting point is 02:05:24 if I just had the last 30 years to do all over again, it wouldn't change much because even the scars made me who I am. But there would be one thing that I would change, and I want to leave you with this. I would have been more like my friends. I would have said, thank you more sincerely. I would have listened more carefully. And I would have encouraged more thoroughly.
Starting point is 02:06:10 And I probably would have fired Stu preemptively. But that's a different story. Back in just a second. Let me tell you about Z Factor. You can push through a lot in life on sheer willpower. You can get through all of the deadlines, all of the stress, all the long, dragging days. But there is one thing.
Starting point is 02:06:30 Willpower is terrible at fixing, and that's bad sleep. If you're tossing and turning or waking up feeling like you never really shut down for the night, everything the next day feels harder than it should. Your focus is off. Your patience is thinner. Your small problems feel bigger than they are. It's because you need sleep. Z-factor is a sleep supplement from the makers of relief factor designed to help your body relax at night so you can follow sleep faster and stay asleep longer. Better sleep doesn't just mean feeling less tired.
Starting point is 02:06:54 It means thinking more clearly, handling stress more calmly and actually having energy left for the family at the end of the day. When you rest like you're supposed to, the rest of your day starts to feel a lot more manageable. Right now, say 46% on your first order. It's 1995 for a 30-day supply. It's Relief Factor at 1-800-4 relief, 1-800-the-number-4 relief. It's Relieffactor.com. Once you recognize the Sirea or psychological operation, everything changes. Stay informed, citizens.
Starting point is 02:07:28 at glenbeck.com well another one down and a lifetime to go we have a fourth hour today if you're listening at glenbeck.com just keep listening a fourth hour a Q&A for stew's last day we're all going to be taking your phone calls and talking to you and answering your questions you know whatever all at glenbeck.com also at youtube.com
Starting point is 02:08:12 slash stew does america and don't forget you can find stew at predictable show.com. Predictable show.com. We will see you in the fourth hour and on Monday. Stu and I have been talking about my career and his career for at least two years. And Stu has for a long time wanted to do his own thing. And I appreciate that. And I appreciate all of the many, many years.
Starting point is 02:08:43 I'm looking at your resume here. Then you went to the Glenn Beck program, where you were the co-host EP, executive producer. Say hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stu Bergier. Hello to our executive producer, Mr. Stu Bergier. Glenn, how are you this morning? Well, I'm good. I'm good. Let me say hello to our executive producer.
Starting point is 02:09:04 That is Stu Brugier. Hello, Stu. How are you? Glenn, how are you? I mean, Stu was there for the very first talk show I ever did. How old were you when we met? I was, let's say, 20? 20 years old. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:19 And what was your impression of me? Because you got to me at the end of my radio career or my, you know, top 40 radio career. I mean, I grew up in Connecticut. So I knew you from your morning show at Casey 101, which is, you know, music station, the big station in my hometown, basically. And I knew, you know, Glenn and Pat in the morning. And this is an important lesson, I think, for people coming up not only in broadcasting, but any industry, is find some.
Starting point is 02:09:47 someone who's very talented, but at the very valley of their career, like the worst possible time. Because those people usually have good lessons, are talented. But also, you can kind of glom onto them when they're at their lowest. And then you can convince them you were part of their success later on. Hello, Stu. How are you, Glenn? I am. Hello, Stu.
Starting point is 02:10:12 How are you? That's a great question, Glenn. No idea. That's my new position on that question. I've got a freaking idea. I've never worked with anybody more honest, more decent, and more loyal than you. And you have changed my life.
Starting point is 02:10:29 And I truly, thank you for that, you quitter. Welcome back, Glen Beck Insiders. This is the insider feed. This is also, I guess, the stew lovers feed. We are live on multiple different platforms here. and we are here to take questions directly from you. I don't even know how I even speak right now after everything that happened at the end of that broadcast.
Starting point is 02:10:54 I'm looking through all of your comments right now, and it looks like you are like everybody else in our control room right now, not a single dry eye from any of you. I don't think I've ever seen emotion like that come from Stu ever, except when the Eagles lose a playoff game, which was actually really cool to see. It just happened recently. Did the Cowboys lose their game?
Starting point is 02:11:16 Shut up, Stu. I'm directing this Q&A session. I answer, ask the questions. I want to, there was another, I'm just going to jump right into the comments, and I'm going to let you guys direct this, and I think that there was another candidate for comment of the day,
Starting point is 02:11:32 and I think this is the question that all the users want to know about, you know, screw this little project that you're doing, Stu. Ryan, with one of the comments of the day, said, will Stu return now to being called Steve. Amazing question.
Starting point is 02:11:47 That is an amazing question. My wife is here. Do you want to comment on this there, Lisa? Do you want to call me Steve from now on? You're not Steve. It's my name. You're not Steve. And it was my dad's name.
Starting point is 02:12:00 Your mother is wrong. He hasn't been Steve. His wife calls him Stu. That's how much I have wrecked his life. And I'm so happy. Yeah, no, I don't think so. I think at this point I'm known as Stu, and I've accepted my fate. I'm so glad to hear you say that because I did trademark the name.
Starting point is 02:12:27 I'll be getting like cease and desists of the day of the first show. No, just bills. Just bills. Okay, good. Thank you very much. Yes. So, yeah, I think I'm going to stick with the Stu thing, at least on the air. But my mom still calls me Stephen.
Starting point is 02:12:40 And that makes me feel good. I have some relatives that still do. It's nice. Mommy. Mommy still calls me, Stephen. I think this is exactly what the people want as well. It's what it seems like. I'm going to skip to Alicia 1144.
Starting point is 02:12:53 She said that we love you, Stu. I've signed up for your new project. She's curious if you're still going to come on the Glenn Beck program radio show from time to time. And also, you are still being, I think they were confused if you're still going to do Stu Does America on Blaze TV. So both those two. Okay.
Starting point is 02:13:08 Well, let me take the second one first. Yeah, I'm going to be doing Stu Does America, a new episode on Monday. So I will be here in the building, unplugging wires. So Glenn goes off the air in the middle of his monologues, whatever I can do to help the show. But yeah, I will be here doing the show of Studeau's America. We actually have some cool stuff around the corner planned for Studez America if it all comes together. Not quite there yet, but we should have some stuff to tell you about there in the pretty near future. And then will I come on the Glenn Beck radio program?
Starting point is 02:13:36 The shows are all booked up. Yeah, I know. First of all booked up for the next year. even though Pat, who's not on the show every day, knew this schedule. He's got the calendar. Yeah, I got the calendar right in front of me. Glenn sent it to me yesterday. I think he forgot that he said to me, but it's, yeah, it's right here.
Starting point is 02:13:53 No, I remember I'd send it to my new executive producer, Pack, right? Executive producer, Vice President. Oh, nice. It's up to Glenn. I mean, you know, I would love to come back on. Glenn has told me he'd like to have me back on. I hope he continues that after he shuts my show down for copyright violation. Yeah, he'd love to, except there's just no room.
Starting point is 02:14:17 That's the problem. The laptop's still closed. It's like, you know what? You have a lot in common with, you have a lot in common with baby Jesus. There was no room for him. That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me, actually, which is. That's the only thing you have in common with the baby Jesus. Can we make one thing clear here that on the last program after 28 years, I blubbered like
Starting point is 02:14:40 fool on the air and Glenn just made a bunch of jokes and it was out in five minutes. I mean, what happened there? I can't even. Because I knew because this week, I mean, I had a really hard time holding it together this week. Yeah. I'm going to do it again. I mean, I wrote to Sarah every day this week and I'm like, I don't know how to do this. Help me. Help me. Help me. and and so I decided that because I know that you are not an emotional person and you don't like it to get emotional. So I decided just to go, I became you. I did your job. I just slammed you every moment I could to keep us both from crying. I will say when I finally ended that thing and you looked at that microphone and I'm like, he's going to absolutely drop a bomb on me right now,
Starting point is 02:15:31 isn't he? I thought you were, I thought you're just going to go totally the opposite direction and just slam me. I'm glad you at least said a few nice things there before the firing reference at the end. That was, I could. I mean, I, I, I mean, you had to. I mean, I had to be disappointed. I had to say something heartfelt, but I had to drop the bomb. And that was the only sincere part of that that I actually really deeply meant. I want to go back to the, uh, comment section here. This one's coming from Christopher. A lot of people, I think we're tuning in after you actually mentioned the website and this is coming from Christopher. He just said he just got on and he wanted to know what the website was and the best way that he can tune into your next project. People just logging on
Starting point is 02:16:11 asking for this. Yes, just be quiet, Jeffey. I have to exal, you know, I have a job that I'm supposed to have here in a very short period of time. Yeah, predictable show.com. It's a show about prediction markets and the news that it wraps around them, right? It's going to be, I'm going to be talking about a lot of the same things that we talk about in the radio show every day. Slightly different perspective, though, looking at them through the lens of. of, you know, whatever, Cal She, Polly market, these big prediction markets. There are opportunities, I think, for us to drill down and get a lot more truth than we get from the media and opportunities to maybe profit a little bit off of this. Jeffie's run many successful businesses, you know, drug dealing.
Starting point is 02:16:48 So I think. Human trafficking. You know, I mean, I think this, I mean, don't get used to that website, Predictable Show.com, because I think it's going to be predictable show. com. Okay. That's actually a very good point. That jumps right to, and this is a question for Glenn. User Stephen 3867 said, my question is for Glenn.
Starting point is 02:17:09 Are you, Glenn, are going to bail stew out of debt over this gambling thing? It's not a gambling thing. No, you got to let him fail. You got to let him fail. A little birdie's left in ass, you got to let him fail. You fly or you fall to the ground, but you can do it. I've been putting on weight, and I am now too big to fail. So please continue to.
Starting point is 02:17:26 But no, the show, by the way, is, you know, predictable show.com is you can go there, you can sign up, we'll give you all the updates. But YouTube.com slash studios America is eventually where the show is going to live. So if you're here and you want to watch the show on a day-to-day basis, go over to YouTube. There's a bunch of other distribution stuff that we're going to be announcing. But as of right now, go to YouTube.com slash studios America. You'll get the show that we're doing now for, you know, for a while and get the predictable show after that. So I would appreciate it. you're on YouTube right now watching and hop on over.
Starting point is 02:17:57 Do a little subscription thing. Can I ask you a question? I'm sorry, I was listening to you. I really was. Sure. But I just saw up at Fox News. Trump signs an executive order launching an IndyCar race in D.C.
Starting point is 02:18:10 I mean, this guy is amazing. Does that mean it's like, it's going to be like, what is the race in France? Le Mans? Where they're racing them in the streets? Le Mans. Or like F1.
Starting point is 02:18:24 Is it? He does that now, yeah. Yeah. I mean, is that... F1 does it in cities around America already. Yeah. No, yeah. It's a...
Starting point is 02:18:33 No, no, but they do it on laps, don't they? Yeah. And they do it in lap. I mean, they do it on tracks. I'm asking, is this going to be in D.C.? Well, yeah, I mean, they have the races in the cities where they set it up. Yeah. It looks at the tracks on the roads.
Starting point is 02:18:49 In D.C. it would be a 14 mile an hour top speed with bullets flying through the windows. Right. Not a great growth, though, wouldn't it? Oh, yeah. That's the safest city in America. We've got a congressman. We've got a yellow flag. A congressman is crossing the streets.
Starting point is 02:19:05 Will all the drivers see the yellow flag? Oh, they're all accelerating. I wouldn't like that. I want to jump out of the comments really quick and just let everyone know that you can also call in. If you haven't called in, put the comments, the lines are filling up very fast. but I want to jump right now to Christopher from Florida, Line 11. Christopher, how you doing? Hey, guys, what a great show.
Starting point is 02:19:31 What a great way to end. I'm just going to tell you an hysterical story that happened. Around 15 years ago, you guys used to do this bit called Moron Trivia. Oh, yeah. Remember it? It was pure gold. So at the time... Pat, you still do it, don't you?
Starting point is 02:19:49 We stopped about a year ago. Yeah. Yeah. Because you can't do it anymore. Yeah, you just can't do it anymore. Nobody answers their phone. So. Well.
Starting point is 02:19:57 It's too bad because it was the funniest thing ever. That was great. You know, at the time, I had a security job guarding ballerinas, and I was standing in the theater doing their, you know, during their rehearsal as these girls were dancing. And I had my earphones, and I'm listening to your show. And you guys had a waitress on it from Baltimore on the phone. And the question that she was going to be asked was about. an art museum in Paris.
Starting point is 02:20:24 And Glenn asks her, where's the Louvre? And she answered, it's in the drawer in the nightstand. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. I remember that. Oh, man. Oh, that's awesome.
Starting point is 02:20:37 So funny. Christopher, thank you. Oh, it's so funny. Thanks, Chris. I want to head over now to Alec. Alec. Line four. Good morning. Hey, Alex. Hello, I would it be afternoon now.
Starting point is 02:20:51 Yeah. Glenn, long-time listener, love the show. Thanks for telling the truth and letting us decide what we believe and make out of it. Thank you. Beyond that, Stu, you're going to be missed. You're hilarious, man. You're one of the biggest reasons I tune into the show because you're so witty and funny. Shut up on me, Alex.
Starting point is 02:21:15 Absolutely. Absolutely. Again, love you show, long-time listener. I'm going to leave politics out for today. Today's fun. And good luck in all your endeavors and hope you hear from you again soon. Thanks.
Starting point is 02:21:31 Thank you, man. I really appreciate that. Thank you for calling in. Oh, look, I just got a text with someone asking me. Stu, what are you doing next? Oh, thank you. You know, thanks, thanks, thanks for that, Jeffrey. I actually have a comment directed directly at you.
Starting point is 02:21:45 This comes from Mark Spock. He said, now if I could only miss Jeffie as well. Oh, gosh. That would be really hard to do. It's possible, I guess. I don't know. You can't miss somebody when they won't go away. That's the problem.
Starting point is 02:21:57 I know. Amen. I want to take Terry in Arizona. I think this one is good. Go ahead, Terry. Hey, guys. Enough of the waterworks. You're making Tim Molf look like rambo.
Starting point is 02:22:08 So pathetic. Now, this is a call for every one of you guys to kind of perk you up on this day. Stu. Yes. You are leaving at the worst time. do have listened to Pat's show over the last couple weeks Pat and Jeffrey
Starting point is 02:22:26 have one foot in the grave and another end of the man with you I'm starting a GoFundee to have an EMP guy on set and these guys are all Please do
Starting point is 02:22:40 I appreciate it Yeah that would be helpful We need it It's a good idea You know what It's a good idea Terry I tuned in I listen to these guys
Starting point is 02:22:47 every morning when I getting ready for my show and I've listened to this morning. I hear Pat say something and I hate to say, Pat, how relatable it was. I'm like, I know I'm there. He said, I heard, this is how old I'm getting, I hurt myself sleeping last night. And I did. I literally did.
Starting point is 02:23:05 I wake up. I get out of bed. I was fine last night. I get out of bed this morning. I can't walk. I know. It's so horrible. Hurt's so bad.
Starting point is 02:23:13 I'm limping around trying to get my clothes on and come into work. I will say to nightmar. It's a nightmare. jumping around like this. So they were, you hurt your knee while sleeping while sleeping. While sleeping. This is one of the things, I will say, one of the most interesting things about doing the show with these gentlemen over all these years is getting a preview about how bad my health is going to be. Like I have a few year window of realizing what's going to break inside of me.
Starting point is 02:23:40 And it's not happening. It's all happening right on time, right on time. Change. I mean, I'm telling you, Scrooge, change. You can still change your ways. We were in our early. mid-20s when we first got together in Baltimore. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:23:52 Yeah. And look what's happened since. We've fallen completely apart. Yeah. So, yes, that's right around the corner. I saw some of those videos today that, you know, with the stew montage and I'm, who the hell was that? I know.
Starting point is 02:24:06 I mean, I looked like I was 10. Yeah. Definitely. Some of the clips that they were posting, the old shows, it sounds so different. I mean, it's just been such a weird, long, long road. I was thinking, too, about a. Pat, the first time I ever met Pat, was we were doing Glenn, I don't know, maybe you remember, it was an anniversary show for your morning show in New Haven.
Starting point is 02:24:28 And I had left by then. You had back for it. You came back to like, hey, you know, Pat's back in town. And I remember doing the show. We had a big audience there. It was like a really cool thing. And actually like, it was really early in my career, you know. And Pat actually, because I think I was credit Pat for this of like saying something really
Starting point is 02:24:48 complimentary to Glenn about me that day. And like, it was a, it made a huge difference to me. Really? What? Did it really? It did. You, you know, you're like, you know, you're like, you mean a huge difference in your life or I looked at you differently? I, I don't know. I mean, I was still in that period, like, who knew if I was ever going to turn, you know, I was, I was maybe, I might have been six months in. I remember that, too, because I was so impressed with you. You were at the time. You, you, you said that. You had to say something. And you had to say something. I had to say something. You. I had to say something. You were responsible. But I always felt like that gave me a little bit of like, I mean, you know,
Starting point is 02:25:22 Glenn was always very helpful. But like, you know, to have like someone else who's a, you know, big star, like Pat Gray, say something like that, I think, you know, helped my credibility a little bit. So thank you, Pat. And Jeffrey, the one story I wanted to tell, oh, I don't have any good stories. At all. Sorry, Jeffrey. That's okay. No problem.
Starting point is 02:25:45 I just want to remind everyone right now, no matter what. platform you're watching on. Get into the comments. You are directing this Q&A session. You are communicating directly to them. Let me know what you want to know about. Also call in. The number to call in is 188-7-27-B-E-C-K. My goal is to get to every single one of these calls. So call in and I will try to get you on immediately. So this, the next comment I want to read is from Kara 57-11-1-1 because she talked about, she was talking about her favorite moments listening to you guys on the radio. She mentions more on trivia. and a couple of others.
Starting point is 02:26:19 It reminded me of my favorite one. By far was when you guys were talking to, was it Godin, the Al-Qaeda spokesman? That was my absolute... The American. Bring your sailors. Spies. Haldressers.
Starting point is 02:26:36 Interior decorators. So on and so forth. From F-Wan to Stanza Bar. Our wives, Absolutely hated when we talk like this. They just get so skeved out. They're like, stop talking like that. Please, please.
Starting point is 02:26:55 We're like, what? You don't find this terribly sexy? We lost them, though. We did lose him. Yeah, we did lose him, darn. Kara was like, we know what our favorites are. She wanted to know each from each one of you, what are your favorite or most memorable moments together.
Starting point is 02:27:12 Oh, my God. Oh, wow. I'd have to think about that. That would be a tough one to think of it. We've gone through so many. Something I thought about, something I thought about every, really all day today,
Starting point is 02:27:23 uh, was at Fox, um, in the morning, in my office, as the sun's coming up, getting counsel from these men and then getting on our knees and praying every day.
Starting point is 02:27:36 That's one of my, my favorite memories. As a behind the scene. And Stu was never in there. First of all, it was never in there. That's not true. if I remember correctly, I know it was there,
Starting point is 02:27:49 because I remember Jeffrey particularly catching on fire. Yes, spontaneously combusted every morning about that time. You guys get down on your knees and start praying. I'm not doing. Put him out. Not with the holy water. That's a totally normal corporate structure, by the way. Most people are used to that.
Starting point is 02:28:09 You go in, you get into the first meeting of the day, and you say a prayer. Although maybe the country would be in a little better place. No kidding. did do that, I will say. Actually, the thing I think about most, like as a favorite moment is about to happen when I walk out that door. Because when you guys are all just left behind for eternity, that's the number, that's kind of the day I've been thinking about as a favorite. Well, that's beautiful.
Starting point is 02:28:35 Thank you. That's nice. Yeah. It's really nice. Thank you, Stu. I would head back over to some of the callers. Specifically, I'm calling this one because this one hits my heartstrings, but Kelly from California. Kelly, how you doing?
Starting point is 02:28:48 Thank you so much for taking my call. I had been listening to you guys since 2008 when my son left for the Marine Corps and came back safely. You have made me laugh and cry, and I prayed for you, all of you, and I thank you so much. I'm looking forward to hearing about what you guys are doing next. And I'm in California. We're moving to Idaho. My kids are up there. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:29:11 Going to Idaho. Where? We're packing up right now. We're moving to Emmett. Oh. Where is Emmett, Pat? of meridian it's a very north of meridian it's north of meridian and it is north of meridian everyone knows the song yeah yeah yeah that's just that's just uh southeast of about 20 miles from
Starting point is 02:29:31 a lab right look at right there on the hand yeah yeah well thank you very much my kids moved up there and they're very happy and love it and they're born and great here in california and we're moving and they had my grandkids and god listen gave us a house next door with matching pastures. Wow. That's nice. Wow. That is really nice.
Starting point is 02:29:56 We're packing up and head north, but thank you so much, and I'm looking forward to continuing on and listening, and I've never called before. I've been with you since Victor, okay? Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. That's a sad memory. Oh, yeah. And so, you know, thank you so much.
Starting point is 02:30:13 Thank you. God bless you, Kelly. And it will be nice to have you as a day. neighbor up in Idaho. I'm up there, you know, about four months out of the year and it's a great place. The people are great up there. You're going to love it. Thank you so much. Jumping back into your comments. This is a comment, a question actually for Glenn. David wants to know who is stepping in for Stu or is anyone stepping in for Stu? No, nobody's stepping in for Stu. I, you know, I just don't think anybody can. I mean, we've talked about this. I mean, Pat and I talked about
Starting point is 02:30:47 this. I mean, it's 30 years of experience. And it's, I mean, think of this. There are times that Stu says maybe 12 words a show. Those are very expensive words. But he'll say, there'll be shows or he says 12, you know, maybe 12 words a show. And, and they're really, really good. to get somebody of his talent to get somebody of his talent and then to have him with all of the institutional knowledge
Starting point is 02:31:21 of exactly how I work and to get somebody of his talent to sit there and on days when you say 12 words they'd lose their mind they'd absolutely lose their mind Stu never had one to begin with so there wasn't a loss there
Starting point is 02:31:36 so I just don't think anybody can replace him so this question another going right back to the comments this is a question from stephen uh i don't even remember this specific instance but i'm sure you do stephen wants to know stew did you have any side effects after drinking that insecticide aha it was actually not right yeah it was uh herbicide roundup um yes round up uh no no no no no side whatsoever from that uh a lot of people ask about it um it was uh i mean he is in a wheelchair now But you can't prove it was from Roundup. At least that's what the company told me.
Starting point is 02:32:20 Right. There was an exact quote. So yes, no, I'm still alive, still taking. Again, things are deteriorating slowly, but I think the normal, typical demise of humans is going on with me. This question comes from Autumn 216011. Um, Autumn wants to know the background of the Steve Stu how that whole thing happened. But, but, but she wants to know it from both of your perspectives from both Glenn and Stu's.
Starting point is 02:32:48 So you want the, the truth and then what Glenn says? Yeah. That's no problem. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. My, my perception has become everyone's reality. Oh, it's, it's true. It's true.
Starting point is 02:33:01 Yeah. Uh, my, my recollection of this is that I had a good friend, Vinnie, pen who replaced Pat on the show because Pat quit. Boy,
Starting point is 02:33:13 it seems to be a pattern with my friends doesn't it. What's the common denominator in all of those incidents?
Starting point is 02:33:20 Well, he had a good reason. He had a good reason. I was killing him. I was at the height of my alcoholism and he was like, Glenn,
Starting point is 02:33:28 I can't watch you kill yourself anymore. I can't do it anymore. Oh, I show up to watch that. And so he had a reason. Anyway, so,
Starting point is 02:33:35 Vinnie, pen replaces him and Vinny is I mean I as I'm sobering up I replaced Pat with a with a drunk I mean he he wasn't technically a drunk but he loved to drink he was very young and he was funny as
Starting point is 02:33:51 hell yeah still is and and so my recollection is I was introduced to Stu by Vinny at some promotion where Vinny had a lot to drink and he was like and he was like
Starting point is 02:34:04 and he may have said Steve or was trying to say Steve, but all I heard was Stu. And I was like, oh, hey, Stu, nice to meet you. And now a normal human being says, no, I'm sorry, it's Steve. That didn't happen. That didn't happen for months. That didn't happen. He's on the air. And I make fun of his name at some point. And he's like, well, it would be funny if that were my name. And I'm like, what the hell are you even talking about? And he's like, that's not my name. I said, well, first of all. That's how all of us know you. now even his wife knows him as stew and he was like I just didn't I didn't I didn't want to say anything at first and then it got really awkward
Starting point is 02:34:47 and so I never said anything so do we fact check the story I mean do I just let it roll the way that it is is it different because that's a story I've always known it's different than that he's in the realm of reality and it's funny because Vinny you mentioned he's writing a book about this time in New Haven. It's very funny. Very funny. It's really funny. Going through the, you know, a few years there when we were in New Haven together.
Starting point is 02:35:14 What is it called my prison sentence with Gwen or something? Something like that. Yes. I don't remember what it was. It's something like that. It's actually very funny. I can neither confirm nor deny a word of it is true, but it's very funny. I'm no idea.
Starting point is 02:35:26 But he actually tells the story totally wrong in the book, too, which is funny. But what happened, what actually occurred. And by the way, we should point out, drunk over here and drunk over here and drunk over were there were the other two people who were to remember this story. No, but when we met, I was never, you never knew me drunk.
Starting point is 02:35:44 I actually never, that's the, that is actually true. I never saw a glit drink. This I did come along after, but you still had to kill all your brain cells. Yeah, I saw.
Starting point is 02:35:52 Yeah. Yeah. But he killed all the brain cells with Pat. And then I was left with, you know, the one syllable words that were left. Get to your story for the love of me. I went to,
Starting point is 02:36:02 uh, a gig at, uh, a bar in New Haven. and, uh, Vinny did come up to me. That part is true.
Starting point is 02:36:09 He was the one, the polite one that came up and introduced himself to the new employee, unlike the other guy that was there. And Vinny said, hey, what's your name? And I said Steve, and he heard St. And then he assumed it was Stu. That lasted a very short time. He, later that evening, was absolutely aware my name was Steve. He, later that evening, said again, Stu.
Starting point is 02:36:34 And I said, no, it's Steve. He goes, oh, no, well, you look like a story. Stu, I'm calling you Stu, and just stuck by it as a joke. He knew what my name was the entire time. Then he kept calling me Stu, and I was in, at that point, I already knew the joke. I knew he was doing this to me, and he was just going to torture me by calling me Stu. But you are so oblivious to the world that you didn't know the joke and thought that was my name for months and months. Nobody told me the joke.
Starting point is 02:37:00 What joke is it? When somebody comes up, when somebody comes up and is like, hey, it's Stu. I like you to meet Stu. That's a funny joke when his name is Steve. I mean, what kind of joke is that? I didn't say it was his best material. It wasn't. He just thought it was a funny thing to torture me by calling you the wrong name.
Starting point is 02:37:21 But by saying that to me that I had some, that I was oblivious, who says, come on, your name's not really. Stu. I thought, I don't know. I thought you were aware enough to pick it up. No, you know me better than that. Well, no, I didn't then. though. Now I would definitely do. I also learn that Glenn's taking
Starting point is 02:37:40 credit for this, which isn't true. Of course. And I should point out the other part about this is, oh, I don't know, I said something about his name and then he said that, it would be funny if that was my name. I know what you said about my name. Would you like to hear the material Glenn was churning out at the end of his career? No, I don't. No, I don't.
Starting point is 02:37:56 Oh, stew? Stu, I mean, what is that? Like, the stew, like the stew that you eat? What did your mom on the way home from the hospital have stew, that was the joke that led to that moment. That was the high level. Good morning. Admittedly, my career was over. Over. Over. Let's check it on traffic. I don't even think he bothered checking it with traffic at that point of this career. So that was the true story. That was a time when he would, at the end of every song, he would say, it was that guy. And he didn't even know the name
Starting point is 02:38:35 the artist, even though it was written on the cartridge that we were playing. That was a super, super classic by her. Super, super, super classic. That's what's her face is, that's what's her face's biggest hit yet, and it's just super, super classic. I enjoy every one of her album. I mean, really, that was every song at that time. Every song.
Starting point is 02:38:58 I just did not care. Yeah, another thing I had a problem with the Finney's book was that he was saying that you showed up on time. That is a massive rewrite of history. That's like a book right out of Nick Fuentes' by, you know, freaking history collection. History by Nick Fuentes. Glenn showed up on time. I was sometimes an hour late. Oh, there were, there were times where I would have to, because I would show up. But it wasn't because he was drunk. It was because he was disinterested. He didn't care. He didn't care. It wasn't even laziness. He had plenty of ambition to do other things, just not the job he was getting paid for. I think at that time he wanted to be a chef, right?
Starting point is 02:39:36 Isn't that? There was a chef period. There was a real strong chef period. Because I didn't think I wanted to do radio anymore because I was like so sick of it. It was my father that saved me. Yeah. My father, or doomed me, whichever way you want to look at it. Or doomed the country.
Starting point is 02:39:50 I, you know, I knew what I wanted to be when I was eight. And so here I am 30, washed up, you know, alcoholic, miserable. And I'm like, I said to my dad, I don't want to do this anymore. I just can't do it. And he said, son, you've known what you've wanted to do. you're just doing it the wrong way. Find the things that interest you and talk about those things. Yeah, that's great.
Starting point is 02:40:09 And so he's the one who caused all this, not me. Yeah. Apologize to the nation. Uh-huh. Yeah. If you want to call in, the number is triple 8-7-27-B-E-C-K. Phone lines are filling up. Speaking of filling up, all the comments right now are just absolutely insane on just different skits that you guys have done over the past.
Starting point is 02:40:32 And Robert wants to know, he said, for old time's sake, please talk about the backstory of the cocaine diet. I have no idea what that is. Cocaine diet. See, this is what I mean. I think he's so. I don't even remember half of these things. Was that, wait, wait, wait. Was that when I was going on CNN and I, and you, I mean, I was, I am 225 pounds now.
Starting point is 02:40:55 When I was on CNN, I was, 205. Were you, I wouldn't even go lower. You look, when I, when I, when I, when I, was, you know, when I, when I, was, when I, watch some of early CNN footage. You were like, I'm going to be on television. I need to be in shape. I need to be thin. I'm not going to eat until I'm on television. Right. And I think I started with, you know, I'm on an all cocaine diet. I think that's what I said. I don't know if this is what you're talking about. But then later, remember, I asked the fattest listeners, CNN love this. I asked the fattest listeners and viewers, I said, there's nothing better to hit your goal of weight loss than knowing you're going to be on TV in six
Starting point is 02:41:32 months. So if you want to lose weight, send me a picture of you. And then, and tell me your goal, and then show me you on the scale. And then I'm going to see, and then in six months, you send me a picture of you, picture of you on the scale. If you haven't hit your weight, I run the fat picture on TV. That was a great idea. That was, did it work? It must have worked. I feel like it must have worked. I don't even remember it. It must have worked. We probably just forgot about it. All the, all the brain cells were already dead. do you remember when I was at CNN and we said we were doing pitchforks and torches and they got so mad at us because their they their mailroom was full of pitchforks
Starting point is 02:42:11 oh yeah oh yeah we were so pissed and when we when we switched from CNN to Fox they sent all the pitchforks over to the Fox mailroom just to piss them on oh yeah that's right I feel like we've made the mistake multiple times of asking for things to be sent in I always feel like that always turns out terribly. My favorite was, you know, you don't give your postman enough credit. I'm telling you, you could send a raw egg through the mail in a regular envelope and they will deliver it unbroken. I'm going to fact, I'm going to offer $1,000 for the first unbroken mail, an unbroken egg that comes through the mail and just a regular non-padded envelope. The postal service came out and, I mean, I thought I was going to.
Starting point is 02:42:59 to jail. They were like, you are wrecking all of our post machines. And I'm like, hey, that's not my fault. You're breaking them. You're breaking the eggs. Not me. I want to head back over to the phones really quick. Because speaking of crazy or notorious things that Mr. Stu has done over the years,
Starting point is 02:43:19 including one that made international news. I want to go to Jason in Kentucky. Jason, how you doing, buddy? Doing great. Thanks for having me on here. Love the show, guys. Big fan. Thanks, Jason. Just like Glenn has gone through the years, all these crazy stories, getting caught on TV at the Vatican, et cetera.
Starting point is 02:43:39 My favorite story was with Stu catching the ball at the ball game. Oh, at the Blue Jays game. Yes, in Toronto. It was not that long ago. When was that? It was 17, 18. That's a long time ago. That wasn't a bit.
Starting point is 02:43:53 14 or 15, I think. Was it that long ago? My gosh. Yeah. That was an actual thing, though. That was not a bit. That was not a bit. I actually did catch a ball at a Blue Jays game.
Starting point is 02:44:05 In the batter? Well, I didn't think I was in play. I apparently did reach over the railing a little bit, a tad, and robbed the Tampa Bay race first baseman from making a catch, which he was going to make anyway. I don't know why it made such a big deal about it. And then I remember being completely sure that I did not cross into the field of play. And the guy came over and he was talking to me.
Starting point is 02:44:30 I'm like, I did not go over the line. I was, I was fine. I was fine. And I sat back down and I was complaining the people around me. I'm like, this is unbelievable. And they were all like, you know, they're cheered. And it was really fun. And then we sat back down and then I'm like, I got to look at this.
Starting point is 02:44:42 And I looked at the replay. I was, it had to be four feet over the fence. So for some reason, there's a cameraman who's parallel. He's sitting below the fence and has a shot directly up the fence to just see me reach way over and grab the thing and they were making, you know, I was on sports center, I was on the Canadian Sports Center. And that's when you became a Canadian sports. Celebrity.
Starting point is 02:45:06 Yeah. Yeah, that was, it was a quite a, quite a, they did not kick me out of the, I still have the ball, by the way. They did not kick me out of the seat even. I can't even imagine. And now. Which is it amazing because they normally kick you out of the stadium. Totally.
Starting point is 02:45:18 Was that a home run for them? No, it was just a foul ball. It was a foul ball. But the one, the funny part about this, because this lives on in my life all the time, because as my son plays baseball, he is a, you know, a good baseball player. And so that's a big part of his time is playing baseball. And I'm friends with a lot of the baseball dads. And, you know, every like month or two, I get a text from one of the baseball dads.
Starting point is 02:45:42 I was just on YouTube and I was watching this video MLB's worst fans. And I think I saw you. Like over and over and over again. Can I tell you something? One of the proudest moments, the biggest thing that used to, I think ever did. for me was you washed the first pitch. Was it the Angels game? Oh, yeah. I gave the first pitch and it was horrible. I'll never forget. I mean, I did get it over the plate or to the plate. To the plate. You dreaded that for months. Remember we tortured him about that for months? Yeah. I've never played
Starting point is 02:46:21 baseball. I've never thrown a baseball in my life. And I throw this baseball. Yeah, I know. Well, you remember what the, remember what the pitching coach said? I was throwing the baseball, you know, beforehand. I'm throwing it to somebody. And the, the pitching coach says, why the hell is he thrown with his left hand? And my friend said, he's left-handed. He went,
Starting point is 02:46:41 he's his response was, holy Jesus. But I don't think you can even find that. I don't think that's anywhere now. Because I remember saying to you, you've got to make that go away, go away, go away. We wanted to make such a big deal about it. And you were like, it was maybe the one time I feel like you really wanted that to go away.
Starting point is 02:47:04 That was like almost, you know, you will take a beating on almost anything. You'll make us, you'll let us make fun of you for something that is like intensely personal for years on end. That one you did not want out there. That's one of the most humiliating things in my life. Only because it goes to childhood. You know what I mean? It just goes to childhood. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:47:23 But I do remember, I do remember Pat saying, Flynn. It could have been worse. We have compared it. You were actually better than Obama. Wow. Is that actually true or are you just making him feel good? I believe that. No, it's really true.
Starting point is 02:47:38 I mean, Obama was worse than Glenn. It was weird because Obama was such an athlete. I mean, he was shooting fast. Well, look at his wife's arms. Yeah, right. Yes. Exactly. I want to stick to the phones here because I'm actually,
Starting point is 02:47:53 I'm looking at both the comments and the phones right now, and the comments are just flooded with. people being very appreciative of just everything that Stu has brought them over the years. And that goes right into Michael from Colorado. Michael, you're on with the boys. Hi, thank you so much for taking my call. First of all, Stu, I just want to say, I'm actually 29 years old, and I so much appreciate your enduring impact you've had on my generation, which is millennials, and obviously, Glenn,
Starting point is 02:48:20 I grew up watching you. So thank you so much. And I did have a quick question for Stu. I'd love to get your creative insight on. So, Stu, I wanted to ask you, how do you think interest can be rekindled or regenerated in talk radio again with young people, much like interest with young people's kind of being generated with podcasts or YouTube? And do you feel that there's still a realistic opportunity to do that as far as making talk radio, you know, appealing and fun and interesting to the Gen Z population and millennials?
Starting point is 02:48:52 That's a great question. I like that. That's like, that's real work. You're making me work here on the last day. That's awesome. Yeah, I really do think that that's possible. And I think it happens, you know. The podcast thing has obviously been the target for younger people.
Starting point is 02:49:08 They're used to listening that way and consuming that way. But, you know, I do think that there is a, I think honestly, like people just not doing the same thing all the time would help that. And I, you know, I love a lot of the, the. There's a lot of hosts out there that are great and they do great things. But I do think that a lot of it can get stale if you kind of keep doing the same thing over and over again. I know we've tried to do different things over the years. And, you know, I'm trying to do with this new thing, predictable show.com or studios America on YouTube, trying to do something different. And I think, I think that's going to be needed.
Starting point is 02:49:42 I mean, Glenn, you're in the Radio Hall of Fame. Is that, is it saveable? Oh, yeah, it's savable. I mean, the thing is, though, I mean, this is the one thing that the audience, I think, think likes and also hates is that I'm constantly changing. You're doing the same thing. We don't do the same thing we've always done. We try not to because, A, I just get too bored doing it. But I think, you know, I, I think we are entering a time where the men are going to be separated from the boys here quickly in the next three years. And I don't think it matters, whether it's radio or
Starting point is 02:50:24 podcast. The thing of radio is, is that it is immediate. It, it has to reflect what's happening right now where a podcast is not like that. Um, and we're trying to blur the lines, you know, uh, of between the two, but it's extraordinarily difficult because they're completely different financial models. You know, they have to pay for all of those transmitters and everything else. Um, but, you know, uh, that, that's the biggest thing that, that hurts talk radio is that it just, it has to pay for all of those stations all across the country. Otherwise, I think it would be a lot faster to adapt. And I just, I wish more people would go into radio.
Starting point is 02:51:07 If you can do radio, you can do anything, literally anything. You go into TV, you can't do radio. You go into podcasting. You can't do radio. You can do podcasting. You can do television. You can do stage. You can do anything.
Starting point is 02:51:19 Radio is the hardest medium that I've ever done. and I stand by that because I know so many people who have tried all of them, and then they get to radio, and they're like, this is not what I was bargaining for. This is way too hard. Ask Alex Baldwin about that. Oh, yeah. You can tell you how hard radio is.
Starting point is 02:51:40 I wish we had that little clip here to play. It just, he thought it was going to be a breeze and fell flat on his face. And then never did it again. As far as I know, he never did. He did that one trial night on. In Philadelphia? Some Philadelphia station. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:51:56 And couldn't do it. Could not do it. But did go on to some great things like killing people. Yeah, he did. He did. You know, but Joe Scarborough is still looking to figure out how to put a third hour. That's for sure. He still is.
Starting point is 02:52:12 He has not figured it out yet. No. We're in a hiatus. They'll get there. Yeah. He left, he left radio. He did it for like a year. It was a total disaster.
Starting point is 02:52:21 And he said, and his thing was, is we're looking to, figure out how I can do a third hour. Like, well, nobody wanted two, but he's trying to figure out how to figure out. Here's how you do it. You just add another hour at the end of one of the hours. It was so great to have the morning man on his own station. Don I miss. Don Imus talking about that.
Starting point is 02:52:42 Weren't they on? I miss Don. Ah, man. I miss Don so much. I wish. I asked him right before I died or right before he died. I said, Don, please, please. I'll dedicate all of the proceeds to charity.
Starting point is 02:52:56 Please let me release our emails and our text messages back and forth from one another. And he got really serious. And he said, no, I will sue you. The family, the estate will sue you if he were doing it. I'm like, Don, it is so hilarious, please. And he's like, no. And it's the one thing. If I could share anything with the audience, it would be those exchanges.
Starting point is 02:53:16 They were the funniest exchanges ever. Just hysterical. And dark, dark meat. mean, but funny. His last his last text to me was him in the hospital
Starting point is 02:53:34 looking like absolute garbage hoses in his nose and everything else just looking like garbage and it's just the photo of him and the line underneath was at least I'm not fat like you so funny you know it's funny
Starting point is 02:53:55 because of all the times that we always wreck each other for just absolute nonsense and you know it's all just nonsense but like a lot I think at least very early part of that
Starting point is 02:54:05 for me was I miss I mean I listened to I miss all the time as a kid and I remember just loving when they would just attack each other constantly and we brought that to the same thing I think at some level at least to this
Starting point is 02:54:17 do you do you Do you remember the first time I was on with I miss, how afraid I was. I was so terrified. Yes, I was terrified. I sat there and I thought this guy could tear me apart so fast. And I thought, I've listened to him for years. The guests he likes are the ones that just rip into him. And I think the first thing I said to him, he's like,
Starting point is 02:54:39 and I's welcome Glenn Beck. Well, it's not glad. And I said, Don, it's an honor to be here. I didn't even know you were still alive. and he looked at me like, all right, brother. Okay. And then, I mean, we just immediately hit it off.
Starting point is 02:54:56 Oh, God. A legend. A legend. So great. Legend. I would dip right back real quick into the comments. There are a ton of these comments. I just want to read this comment really quick because it's very, it's very common from, I mean,
Starting point is 02:55:09 this huge scroll right now of everyone's saying, I'm going to read this comment and then go into a question. Patty said, Stu, congrats on your new business venture, echoing all the comments. You will be missed. Thanks for all the laughs, especially more on trivia, and your emotional send-off. God bless you. God bless your family. Glenn, Pat, Jeffey, and the entire staff at the Glenn Beck program. Thank you so much. Now you're asking God to bless all of these people. I mean, he doesn't have time to bless all of us. Can you put prioritized? Priorit. And this is a question from Prague drummer, which is, I,
Starting point is 02:55:44 I'm really curious about this as well. He goes, wait, what about the Christmas Twist franchise? Any hope for more sequels? Yes, I mean, I still, that is a Bleeze TV property. Still beyond Blaze TV doing Studios America. So it is possible that another one of those could be made. I don't know. I believe that was a Mercury property.
Starting point is 02:56:07 I believe that was produced by MRA. Well, yeah, I guess technically it was. So what do you think, Glenn? Technically, so I'm thinking that. You want to put some dollars behind that? Some big bucks behind that or what? No, I'm just thinking that I have somebody else to sue now. I mean, apparently you are just running crazyly with it and just giving it away higgily, pigledy.
Starting point is 02:56:27 So, yeah, I would love to do it. I'd love to actually do a parody, a real parody Hallmark movie. I'd love it. That would be fun. A Christmas movie that, yeah, where she. was a high-powered New York attorney, but she's got to go back home
Starting point is 02:56:49 to take care of the cows or something. She probably doesn't like that very much. And then her ex from high school just happens to still be there and they run into each other. But they probably are mismatched at this point, right? They're not going to get together. She's got a high-powered boyfriend back at home in New York.
Starting point is 02:57:06 He's just milking the cows. We leave the Hallmark Channel on during the Christmas season. our house and we are all so sarcastic. Anybody who walks in the room, I mean, my children, even when they were young, they'd be like, Dad, you don't think he's going to fall in love with her. I mean, right. I know.
Starting point is 02:57:26 So great. My wife is here. This is what we do all throughout the holidays, is just watch those movies and just make fun of them. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The kids did actually watch the Christmas twist. I wasn't thrilled.
Starting point is 02:57:38 They were like, your acting is awful. Yes, our acting is awful. Except, I will say. Pat, Pat, an incredible performance as Uncle Billy, I believe. Yeah, I believe. Yeah, stupid. Oh, my gosh. That is a classic.
Starting point is 02:57:54 By the way, still on my YouTube page. YouTube.com slash Dudeus America. You can watch it right now. Okay. There it is. Awesome. I want to jump right back because we, oh, go ahead. Go ahead.
Starting point is 02:58:04 No, go ahead. As I say, I want to jump back into some of these phone calls really quick because we have 15 minutes left. So if you have questions on the comments, you want to get them in. Yeah. Uh, here's, uh, this echoes kind of Patty's sentiment, but let's go to Jeff in North Carolina. Jeff, how you doing, buddy? Good. Uh, listen, gentlemen, and I say that wholeheartedly as gentle men.
Starting point is 02:58:26 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Um, yeah, the emotion from that was just absolutely incredible. Uh, you guys don't understand when you were all together, uh, Glenn, Pat and Stu was literally GPS. So you set us on the street narrow. I like that. And Jeffie's not included in that, which is the best part.
Starting point is 02:58:50 There's no J in GPS. I mean, come on. No, when you're driving, you get lost, you do go jerk. Yeah, okay. Jeffie has someone that has his back because literally since I was, you know, young and my nieces and nephews now are in their late 20s and 30s, and I am still Uncle Jeffie. Oh, see.
Starting point is 02:59:14 Look at that. Look at that. I have your back, brother. There is no one that could screw with you. I got your back, buddy. And we should be. I think of, you know, I love Jeffrey. Jeffie.
Starting point is 02:59:27 Jeff is the best. And I say that because he looks like he is, I mean, on death store. And I. And that's only because he is. Okay. He is. Okay. He truly is.
Starting point is 02:59:38 He truly is. Yeah. You know, when Stu left me, you remember that? Remember that guys? When Stu quit my first time? I do. I do my own show. You have to be more specific. Yeah, that first time you quit.
Starting point is 02:59:52 And then I was stuck with Jeffie. And Jeffie was a big fan of the host that I replaced, who I didn't know anything about, but he treated me like I was his enemy because I was replacing his buddy. And oh my gosh, it was the
Starting point is 03:00:10 worst. Stu wasn't there for it. Nobody was there to help me through that. Jeffie was absolutely the worst. I know. And I saw that picture today of you and Stu, you know, acting like you're sleeping through the show. And I thought, I remember the looks
Starting point is 03:00:26 you used to give me through the glass like you are pathetic. And to think now that we are such good friends. I know. This is just tremendous though. It makes me wonder if if I'm still drinking at some point. The thing I was remember about that period with Jeffie was, and I wasn't there for this particular time because I had abandoned you,
Starting point is 03:00:48 but you had told me the story multiple times, Glenn, about how much Jeffie hated you and that he, when you would point to go to break, his reaction, like the time, here it is. Here it is. Talk to closely. Now, imagine, imagine I'm sitting, this is, this is Jeffie in the other room. I've got the control board here
Starting point is 03:01:09 and I'm looking, he's looking at me, like I'm looking at you. And I'm in the middle of like failing. My bid is failing. It's nothing's working and I'm panicking. I'm just trying to get to commercial any way that I can. Get out, get out, get out, get out. And I'm doing this.
Starting point is 03:01:23 I'm just doing this. Like press the damn commercial. Get me out of this. And I'm just doing this. And he looks at me. And pushes the button. It was. Four second delay.
Starting point is 03:01:37 I look at it like, oh my God. Gosh. He hated you. And similar feelings today, right, Jeff? Yeah, well. Let's go back to the phone lines really quick before we right out of time. Let's go to Tony and PA. Tony. Hey, guys. How are you? Hey, Tony.
Starting point is 03:01:59 This is Tony from Hank's beverage company. Oh, nice. Best beverage in the world. Hank's so good If you've not had Hank's root beer It is the best root beer In all of the earth
Starting point is 03:02:15 Yes Orange is great Thank you so much Glenn I'll give you that I'll give you that cash later Okay Yeah you just send some root beer down my way
Starting point is 03:02:24 I'm in Florida Do you sell it in Florida Tony? Yes we do Ah gotta find it It's so good It's so good Anyway
Starting point is 03:02:33 So anyway Real quick Guys Stu You know not too many things make me cry, but man, you made me cry at the end of that I had a segment of the show there. And then, of course, Glenn always makes me cry. But anyway, and Jason, real quick, when's the last time Dallas won? Yes, I love you, Jeffrey. Hit the dump button, Jeffie. Hit the dump button.
Starting point is 03:02:56 Go birds, Tony. I'm sorry, Jason. That was a low blow. Low blow. It was. Tony, thanks so much. I got to show you this watch that Glenn gave me, which is Eagles themed. It is incredible. You would love it. Oh, that's awesome. That's awesome. You can't show it to him as it is house, or you're going to show it to him on the camera? I can't.
Starting point is 03:03:15 There's no way to show it to him on cameras. It's too far away. It looks just like a green circle from that distance. Oh, yeah. That's a watch. Anyway, it's cool watch. It's great, though. I tell you what, I really appreciate what you guys, you know, just over the years listening to you, Glenn with twist, you know, you twist, you know, oh my God, I can't even say it.
Starting point is 03:03:34 Twisted Freaks, you know, on the early shows and stuff like that. and then also memories of when stew, and I believe it was Stu and Pat that had me on, was it spoons? Yes. Yeah, that's right. Oh, my gosh. My gosh.
Starting point is 03:03:51 My gosh. And the diet root beer and the ice cream and everything else. Yeah. And Glenn, Glenn, you had my dad, God rest of soul back in 2014, I believe, on your show. And it made his life complete,
Starting point is 03:04:05 honestly. Oh, sweet. That's awesome. But thank you so much for all everything you do. And still, I wish you the best. Oh, and by the way,
Starting point is 03:04:13 that looks awesome, by the way, I just saw your watch. But anyway, yeah, you're something else there. And by the way, I did subscribe to your,
Starting point is 03:04:24 your show there because I heard it was a gambling show. It's going to be a lot of fun. I started, we'll have a lot of fun over there, Tony. Another guy called Tony's going to be calling you up, Tony. Talking about the game. Ampland show, you know what I mean.
Starting point is 03:04:40 Thanks, Tony, man. You're the best. I think we have time. I want to do your liners for that. I want to do your liners for that. For the show? Hey, it's Stu's show, you know. You'll make some bets.
Starting point is 03:04:51 I mean, make some predictions here, you know what I'm saying? I like it. I like it. Yeah, you're in. You're hired. We're funded, but still, there's a budget. So we're welcome. You're welcome to come over anytime you want.
Starting point is 03:05:03 Oh, yeah. I think we have time for one more caller. and then the final question of the day, which I have saved, and that's a good one. Let's go to Nick in New Jersey. Nick, how you doing? Thank you for everything. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 03:05:19 Yeah, we family and everything. My mother, though, is right. Thank you. It's only because she just is going to miss you so much. We are, all really are. A couple things, though, on my phone, so I just want to be real, I remember on the show, on the TV show, I think it was on CNN during when they captured Maui, and they had the, you have.
Starting point is 03:05:51 brought out a cake and said Al-Azar-Kakey. And later on, I found out that Stu insisted that the caption said that. It was such dopey humor that I never forgot that joke. L-ZAR-Kakey. That's adorable. No, yeah, we're down on the streets of New York, right? And we were, it's funny because that segment, which absolutely, I can't believe we got it on television when you think about it.
Starting point is 03:06:14 We were just mocking, you know. Was he dead? It was something. We were celebrating his demise. Was Al-Arkeye? Was he the hairy back guy? No, that was a different one. We should have made cake and just put hair off.
Starting point is 03:06:29 But the guy who was out, Glenn, with me, you know, it was an on the street segment, and we had a producer from CNN with us for that. And the producer for that was Adam, who's currently my producer on Studio's America and the new show predictable. Yeah, it was him. He was the one out there with me. He's been with us all that time. He had a couple weird dalliance.
Starting point is 03:06:51 over to like Joy Behar's show or something, but in between, he was, he was, he was, he was, the entire time. So I will say, I just bring that up as, as an, another example of, like, how out of the ordinary this company is and this group of people is. Like, there's just not, there's no examples of, of this. You don't have situations in media where people are hanging out for 20, 30 years together. It almost never happens. No, it's, it's, it is, and it, let me echo. It is the great, group of people that I have ever worked with. And that is bar none and the best audience, I think, ever in America. Yes.
Starting point is 03:07:31 I will say one more detail on that one. Thank you. It'll be even better after this. Adam writes me as he's listening to this. He says it was his first field shoot of his career. So imagine that. He's out there celebrating a terrorist. And he says it was, quote, bacon wrapped.
Starting point is 03:07:49 People know. We have time for. One final question. We have five minutes left. So if, if you can respond to this question and then do our sign off, this is from Ryan. He said, and this is very, very important, Ryan asked, can Stu provide for the insiders your first recommendation before the show ends, your prediction for your new site? He's ready to make us first buy. Oh, wow, already. Gosh, that's a great question. First one from the new site. we of course aren't starting for about a month or so from now so I don't know that I have anything official there's there's an let me look for a couple pieces of value real quick look at that Senate race in Iowa there's a strong candidate running for the Democrats in the gubernatorial race which has that you know like almost like a 50-50 race in Iowa which seems because Reynolds is stepping down
Starting point is 03:08:44 the Senate race though it would be shocking to me honestly that Senate race goes the way and I want to say it's in like the mid-60s last time I looked at it that's really solid value for something like Iowa so it's going to get you what 50% gain on your money in nine months I think you want to know about the Super Bowl you wants to know about new I mean I mean Seattle's probably going to win the game absolutely that's what I think too I just I feel like New England's done an incredible job to get there and it's an amazing season for them but like I feel like Seattle's I have to be able to do that I have to tell you I have to tell you I I have no interest in the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 03:09:22 Me neither. I have no interest in a Super Bowl. This is the worst Super Bowl matchup and halftime I've ever heard. We were just talking about that a little while ago. It is horrible. We have some big Seattle fans and New England fans who work here and they're into it, which I get. But as far as national interest goes, it doesn't feel. You're not excited for Bad Bunny? I'm not going to be understanding the words he's saying, and he's going to be an address.
Starting point is 03:09:46 I did love that they said ICE would actively. else they just hired somebody else to do something green day yeah green day they're going to do pre-gones it wasn't anti-american and none right and so let's get green days uh i mean that's crazy they're going to do pre-game yeah let me just let me end with this stew you always have a chair warm here uh with me you always have a warm place to uh come back to and share what you're doing i wish you all the best in the world you have been a great great partner, great writer, great producer, and great friend.

You're the best. Sarah's are, she's been with us forever too. I'm going to miss her a lot. She's like my big, my, my little sister. It's been a hard week for her, Stu. Two of us have been going back and forth.
Starting point is 03:11:02 It's a hard way. I know. It really, I mean, I'm a mess for a hundred different reasons. So, thanks so much for everything, Glenn. And it's been a fun, fun ride.
