The Glenn Beck Program - Glenn RAGES Against 'Dictator' Hit Piece on Trump | Guest: Tim Kennedy | 4/25/25

Episode Date: April 25, 2025

Glenn dismantles the Washington Post’s wild claim that Trump’s Oval Office renovations echo a “Sun King” dictatorship. Former U.S. Army Special Forces Sniper Tim Kennedy joins Glenn to tackle ...the veteran suicide crisis and the war on purpose, while blasting both Democrats and Republicans for sabotaging Trump and betraying allies like Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel. Kennedy makes the case that there's a looming Christian genocide in many regions of the Middle East. Glenn urges Washington state residents to flee over alarming new laws, including forced medical treatments during emergencies, Tesla profit-grabs, and pardons for convicted illegal aliens. Glenn and Stu debate Daniel Kahneman’s assisted suicide at age 90. They also discuss corrupt judges shielding illegal aliens, Mike Lee’s “judicial insurrection" claim, and Stacey Abrams’ possible third run for Georgia governor despite a shady $2 billion Biden-linked grant.

Starting point is 00:00:00 I want to talk to you a little bit about Ammo Square. If you got a pantry full of emergency food, you know, or a closet full of extra water, maybe a generator sitting in the garage, let me ask you this. How's your ammo supply looking? This is the hardest thing because I never want to use my ammo. I go out and I, you know, I go and I, you know, fire. And I usually am dry firing because I don't want to use all my ammo because I think, you know, because I'll forget, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:00:23 You can have now an ammo subscription. And it is, it's unbelievable. They'll build a digital ammo stockpour. bit by bit every single month, and then you decide when you wanted to have it shipped. You pick the calibers, you set the budget, it's secure, they store it in their vault until you're ready, and then when you hit ship, it's on your way to the door. If you believe in the Second Amendment, you believe being prepared, then this is the next logical step. Don't wait until the next crisis hits. It's too late then.

And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. America, welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Oh, I've got a lot to say a lot on my mind today. We'll get to that in just 60 seconds first.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Let me tell you about Burn a Launcher. You ever see those little signs in the shops to say, don't judge a book by its cover? There's a better one for you. Don't judge a purse by its contents because inside that leather clutch hanging off the shoulder of your wife or your daughter, maybe even you. Who's to judge?
Starting point is 00:03:27 Is something more powerful than pepper spray or a stun gun? It's called a Burna Compact Launcher. Just got mine earlier this week. They are fantastic. Tanya put hers in her purse. This is the concealed. carry weapon that you really need. You can carry it in any state. It's legal in every single state. And it looks just like a gun. And believe me, the barrel, because of the, you know, what's coming
Starting point is 00:03:53 out of that, they're these, I don't even know what you call them, but they're like marbles. And they are really hard when they hit you. But they also are filled with tear gas. And you really don't, you don't want to be hit by one of these things. We live in a world where danger doesn't always wait for the police and let's be honest carrying a gun isn't always practical not not legal in some places your launcher gives you lots of options and gives you time and for a lot of women it gives back something they thought they lost control of and that's a sense of control it gives them back that sense of control try before you buy visit berna.com bryrna.com it's a size of a of a little a little walther really um they are fantastic
Starting point is 00:04:43 10% off now your purchase. It's Burnab, B-Y-R-N-A.com slash Glenn. Do it now. All right. Oh, where to begin, where to begin, where to begin. Jeez, Louise, there's so much. The polls of the Democrats just getting worse and worse and worse. That's in the news.
Starting point is 00:05:08 The media has a new conspiracy about Trump's decor on the Oval Office, which I saw that story. Can I start there? Please. Yeah, I want to start there. This really drives me out of my mind. You were just there. You were just there.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Noticed a lot of these same things. Did you notice a big conspiracy? Oh, a giant conspiracy. I spoke to the president about this very thing. Okay. When I walked in, they left me and my wife alone in the Oval for about five minutes. Okay. Which doesn't normally happen.
Starting point is 00:05:37 That doesn't happen. That doesn't happen. And when he finally walked in, he said, I asked him to leave. you alone in here because I knew you'd want to look around and might feel uncomfortable. So did you look around? And I'm like, oh, my gosh, I touched everything. Better than in the Clinton administration. I'll say that.
Starting point is 00:05:54 No, I, I mean, I was very, very, you know, respectful of everything in there. I didn't touch anything. But I did look at everything. And, I mean, they have a, what he's done, let me just start here. This is what the New York Times is saying, that if you look at the maximalist gold accents in which Trump has appointed the Oval Office. The sparkle conveying something more than insidious about how Trump views himself. Behold the new Sun King, the wannabe emperor who views his powers as absolute.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Really? Is that what it says? Is that really what it says? Okay. Now, you could say, it says a guy who loves gold. Is anybody surprised by that? Is anybody surprised at Donald Trump? The most luxurious, the most golden gold of all gold. you could possibly ever imagine gold never thought gold could be this gold okay the thing he's like
Starting point is 00:06:47 most famous for before he was president is gold okay he loves gold i would have you know the president is spending his own money doing any of these upgrades to the white house anything that is being done by him and he is doing a lot and uh a lot just a lot uh and uh and Every American should be grateful for what he is spending his money on and doing. And you will know more about that in the coming months. You will be shocked at some of the things that he is just saying, I'm just going to write a check and do it. But anyway, if you look at the Oval,
Starting point is 00:07:30 I want to know how putting paintings of presidents up says, I'm the Sun King. okay every i looked at all of the paintings i wanted to know because it says a lot about a president on who he is putting up on the walls you know what paintings is he putting up on the walls now some people have put landscapes on other people you know have put pictures of new york up or whatever this president has put presidents on the wall he has taken the uh Not Rembrandt Peel. I think it's his father, is it Timothy Peel? I can't remember what his father's name. Rembrandt Peel is the guy who did the porthole president painting, which is also up on the, it's above the Declaration of Independence.
Starting point is 00:08:26 But above the fireplace, his father did the most famous painting of George Washington as a young soldier. Charles Wilson Peel. Charles Wilson Pill. And it's the one where he stands. you've seen it a million times in history books. And he's standing there and he's got his hand kind of in his vest and the sword by his side. And it's a young George Washington. And that hung in the Reagan Oval Office. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Hasn't been seen since then. All of these paintings, one is a painting of Thomas Jefferson that hasn't been seen in a hundred years. Okay. And so what Donald Trump did is he went down into the vaults of the White House. I know because I talked to him about this. He said all of these stuff, Glenn, he said, they have all these things that have been and can be used in the White House that are just in storage down in the vaults. And he said, so I just went down in the vaults. And I'm like, what do we have?
Starting point is 00:09:20 What do we have? And he said, all of these beautiful paintings of all of these presidents, he said, they haven't been seen. And he's like, I don't know. This is the room of the presidents. I thought we should put presidents up on the wall. Okay. Now here's the thing that the New York Times will never understand because they immediately go to, he's the sun king. He wants to behead people and then he'll end up beheading being beheaded.
Starting point is 00:09:49 They're immediately going to he wants to be a dictator. When he first came in, he said, you see all the gold? And I said, you can't really miss it, Mr. President. Now, I'm not a fan of gold and, you know, all of the gilding and stuff. The way he's done it is beautiful. I personally, that's not my style. But it doesn't have to be my style, okay? And I said, I said, I think I know why the price of gold is so high.
Starting point is 00:10:20 What is this cost you? And he laughed. And he said, I'm going to leave it, of course. But I mean, unless it's a Democrat, then I might just take all of a gilding off. But he was joking. Here's what he said to me. Glenn, this is the most important office in the world. And all of these people come from their big, huge palaces and their big huge rooms of power
Starting point is 00:10:51 that's gilded and has all of these paintings, all of the old trappings of power. He said, I want them to understand that this is the same kind of power. except it's a new power and a power beyond their understanding. So he is trying, he is doing this to the Oval Office, not to become a dictator, not to signal anything to America, but to signal something to all of the dignitaries that come into that office and sit in those chairs. You are sitting at a place of ultimate power. That's exactly what the Oval is supposed to do.
Starting point is 00:11:34 That's why they built it that way. That's the whole point of that office is to project power to the world. Not to the citizen, to the world. I was just with him two days ago. We had this very conversation. The New York Times, you're so full of bull crap. I can't take it. There was an F in there, and I thought it was going a different direction for a second in the middle of that sentence.
Starting point is 00:12:01 It's very close today. It could happen. I am just so, I am so sick and tired of this guy. I mean, look, this is not my taste. It's not my taste. It's not the way I would decorate it. But I understand why he's doing it. And I appreciate why he's doing it.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Well, I mean, he does obviously love gold and he loves the way those are, that's decorated. And he is. Go ahead. But he also knows how people in powerful positions in other nations view things, right? Yes. He said, Glenn, I've been, I've been to my. Moscow. I've been in all of their places of power. We need to make sure that they understand, that they see enough of what they believe is power. They see enough of that and then some.
Starting point is 00:12:46 This conversation went on for probably 10 minutes. It's so ironic that they write this stupid story today. Because I'm sitting there and I got to, you know what? I'm going to send you some pictures of me sitting with him and my wife at the Oval and also looking around because we are having this conversation and you can see him having this conversation with me. We'll post him up online when we get into the break. He knows exactly what he's doing and he spoke to me about, I can't tell you everything that we spoke about because he made me sign a non-disclosure and I wish he wouldn't have because it just shows you who he is and
Starting point is 00:13:36 what he's doing that makes him look at, this guy never allows people to talk about the really unbelievable, humbling things that he does. Never, because I think he thinks it makes him look weak. And I just want to, I could take him by the shoulders today and shake him, go, right, right, because the guy is a builder. He knows how to build. He knows how to build things of quality. And what he's doing to the White House is phenomenal, just phenomenal. And he's not doing it to project power. Why, if you were a dictator, why would you put all of the other presidents? Why would you put George Washington over the fireplace? Why would you have Thomas Jefferson? If you wanted to be a dictator, why would you put the Declaration of Independence right next to your
Starting point is 00:14:33 desk that says we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and and that governments are established by men. Why would you do that? That says we don't have a king. Why would you do that? Why? Why? You know, why does he have the, what is it, FIFA? Is that how you say it, FIFA, FIFA? FIFA. For the soccer? Yeah, the soccer. Yeah. You know, he has the soccer statue. The World Cup. The World Cup. Okay. Sitting right next to his desk.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Did you know that? No. Okay. So the FIFA guy comes and is visiting the president. And I walk in and I only seen a little bit of it, you know, when the press is in there. And I'm like, I think that's the World Cup. And so I go in, it's unbelievable. Unbelievable in real life.
Starting point is 00:15:24 And it's all gold, beautiful gold. And it's this year's cup, which is happening here in America. And so the FIFA president comes in and shows him the cup. And he's like, you know, we do have the World Cup happening here. It would be great if you just leave it here next to my desk. And the guy is like, okay, you can have it for a couple of months. And he's like, all right. So he's got it.
Starting point is 00:15:48 He's got it, I think, until the World Cup happens. And so he has it sitting there. Why? Why? Why would he put it there? Why? Why? Why?
Starting point is 00:16:01 Why? Tell me. Anybody quickly? My guess would be that the importance of that trophy to the rest of the world is incredibly high. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. No, it's because he wants to be a dictator and show that he could even win in soccer games. No, he's showing the rest of the world. This thing just lives here when I want it. Basically. Yes. We are the center of the World Cup this year. The world is coming to us. He's going to have, mark my word. He didn't tell me this, but mark my words. He will have the gold medals and everything else from the Olympic Games, which is also here
Starting point is 00:16:40 in America. He will have those in his office. He is signaling to the world. You New York Times people are so caught up in your own self-righteous, dim-witted, over-educated bull crap that you can't get beyond yourself. Can you not see what a negotiator? is doing? Are you really that dim-witted that you can't understand what this guy is doing? Are you that full of spite and hatred that you can't for a second step outside of yourself and go, wait a minute,
Starting point is 00:17:17 is there a strategy to this? This guy is playing a game of chess beyond your under, you're not even playing checkers. You're not even playing marbles. I don't know what you're playing. I don't know what you're playing. You know, it's interesting. I think part of the reason they do stuff like this is because it fits into their narrative of who he is. Yes. You know, like, and I think you could, if you kind of look at it from a surface, if you step
Starting point is 00:17:45 back, I don't think he can possibly get to, hey, he wants to be a king that's just dumb. But like, you could get to a place where you think he wouldn't put any thought into this, right? Like, I think you could get to, you know, guys, guys tweeting mean things at people. He's, you know, he's out there. He's kind of, he's letting it fly. all the time. He's a former reality show host. He's not going to care about what paintings are in the Oval Office. I can understand that view years and years ago. But like,
Starting point is 00:18:11 he's very, very thoughtful on this stuff. And I didn't, I don't think I knew that about him until from you because of behind the scenes. I learned about it. I didn't know. I didn't know. And this is like your fascination. Let me tell you something else I learned about him this week. All right. Give me 60 seconds. We'll be back. When you think about his. What do you see here in mind's eyes? Israel land of stone walls, ancient prayers, sunlight falling on your shoulders. You walk down the streets, walked by prophets and kings and Jesus, a land of music, laughter, rich in here. Do you think of any of that stuff?
Starting point is 00:18:45 When you think of Israel today, you most likely think of, geez, it's got to be hell over there. I don't know. Is it safe? Right? Support the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. You are not just helping with food, heat, and security. You're doing all of that, but you're also helping. preserve the people who have carried God's word through centuries of fire. You're helping to preserve
Starting point is 00:19:06 culture, precious heritage, a legacy. You're saying to the world, this matters. These people matter. So let's stand together. Let's lift up the nation of Israel together, not just a place on the map, but as a people. Let's make sure the world never forgets what God started there and what they have given to us. Give a gift today. Bless the people of Israel. Go to supportifcj.org. Support IFCJ.org or call 888-48-48-8-8-48-8-48-I-C-J. International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. SupportIFCJ.org. 10 seconds, station ID. Yeah, so the World Cup is 2026. So are the Olympics, I think. Now, where was I? Oh, let me tell you, here's this guy, I told you when I saw him over the summer. I said he has spent his time studying.
Starting point is 00:20:14 He has really studied up. He knows the power of the presidency. He knows the Constitution. He has learned. He spent four years going to some sort of school. And he has a learning curve that is almost straight up. When I was with him this week, he took me on a tour of the White House and was teaching me the history of the White House.
Starting point is 00:20:34 And it was fun. His aide said, I've never seen him like this. He was like a kid. He said the two of you were like two high school. kids going, no, wait, wait, wait, did you know this? And he's taking me on a tour and he's telling me stuff I never knew. And then I'm teaching him other stuff that he didn't know about the White House. And here's what he, here's where he passed me like crazy.
Starting point is 00:20:54 First of all, had no idea he knew art as well as he does. He knows art and artists very well. Past and contemporary artists. I mean, he knew names of people and was talking about contemporary artists that, I mean, I just learned about maybe five years ago because I just got into art. He knows them and knows their work, I should say. The guy is so well-rounded. And he is standing in the room in the White House.
Starting point is 00:21:25 And we're walking. And he's like, look, I moved this piece here. And I was thinking because he walks it every day. And then he also sees what the tour sees. And he's like, I want to make sure that we position this and that. And, you know, what president. should go here and he was very careful on the place of honor that he gave Barack Obama's picture. Again, I couldn't find one of George W. Bush, but that's strange. And he's walking around.
Starting point is 00:21:52 He moved Abraham Lincoln here. We're going up the stairs. And he points to a painting up there. And he's like, I think this president is in the wrong place. And I look up and it's Eisenhower. And I said, well, do you see it every day? He said, I do. But it just does. I don't see it. it enough. And I said, well, I would agree with you. I think you should see that more often because that guy in his farewell address is the guy who predicted everything that you're going through right now. He said it would happen. And he said, you're talking about the military industrial complex speech? And I said, no, go back and read it. It also talks about the educational industrial complex and the scientific industrial complex. I said, everything that you're going through, he predicted. And so he went
Starting point is 00:22:40 back and forth and we talked about Eisenhower. And he knew him inside and out. And as we were leaving, he was over the balcony and I'm walking down. He's like, you know what? I'm moving him. I'm moving him today. He is, he is very well aware. I couldn't believe, honestly, Stu, how much the two of us are like. I mean, that's exactly how I am. Everything has a meaning, you know, you put things exactly where it has a meaning. You just have to understand what he's thinking. And the New York Times doesn't understand what he's thinking. They're assigning ridiculous things to him that he doesn't mean he's not going there.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Your own insane Donald Trump derangement syndrome is leading you to that path. It's the opposite of what they say he's doing. This is Glenn Beck. You know, there are some gifts that get opened and then eventually forgotten, and then they're the other ones, the ones that get woven into somebody's lives. I gave my wife some pajamas from Cozy Earth, and I've got to tell you, she wears them every night. Every night.

Starting point is 00:25:02 Go to glenbeck.com. Welcome to the Glennbeck program. So I just sent some photos, I think we're posting them up now. If you happen to be watching us right now, I want you to, I want you just to see these photos. These are the things that we just took along the way. Now here's, this is Donald Trump and I. We're downstairs where the tours go. And he's got the picture and you saw this maybe if you follow the White House, their X or Instagram. It's a painting of Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton.
Starting point is 00:25:50 and he's he's got a picture of him almost like a warrior with warrior paint on his face in between. And my favorite picture is the one that follows it and it is this one. Because he's turning around and he's buttoning his coat. We're going to take a picture together and he's turning around. He goes, it's driving them out of their minds. And I'm just laughing because I'm like, this guy is just, trolling, non-stop trolling. I love this. They don't, it's driving them crazy and he, they have no idea that he's trolling them. It seems like he's got a lot of important things to do. And this is where
Starting point is 00:26:36 he gets his joy. It is. You know, like, just screwing with the media. It is. It's like what makes him happy outside of his actual hard work. It takes him 20 seconds walking down a hall and going, you know what, you know that painting of me with the war paint put it between. That's all it took. Right. That's all it took. And it has caused multiple news stories to be written and viral reaction and everything else. Now here is a picture of the two of us, what Matanya and I, sitting at the, sitting at the desk in front of the president. And the president is telling us about all of the paintings that he just hung up by everything that the New York Times says, you know, he wants to be a dictator. He's explaining it to me.
Starting point is 00:27:18 He was important to him because I think he knew I would understand. And he is explaining, this is why I'm doing all of this stuff. And he has just said, you see the painting of George Washington behind there? That is, that hasn't been seen since Reagan, yada, yada, yada. And that's Tanya and I looking back at the painting. This is me standing as he's talking about the Declaration of Independence. This is me standing in front of the Declaration of Independence. of Penn is just reading it and looking at it.
Starting point is 00:27:50 It's in pristine condition. Now, if you want to be a dictator, why would you put that right next to your desk? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? It's the ultimate non-dictator document. Yes. Right? Anti-dictator. Next one is Tani and I looking up at another painting
Starting point is 00:28:08 as he's telling us about it. This is the two of us on the back patio. As we're walking out, he's taking us someplace. And he walks out and he's like, let me tell you about the Jackie. because as we pass it, I said, this place pisses me off every time. And he said, what do you mean? The Rose Garden?
Starting point is 00:28:22 I said, it pisses me off every single time. And he said, why? And I said, because of what they did to Melania, all they did was bash her and say how she wrecked the Rose Garden when she took the original plans from Jackie O. And restored the garden exactly the same way. and he just looked at me and he goes, I don't even understand it. I said, I don't, they just hate it. The facts don't matter.
Starting point is 00:28:54 And then he starts in and starts telling me some other things that are coming. And I'm like, oh, that's going to be fun. It's going to be fun to watch. This is a picture. The next one is a picture of us down in, I'm not sure which one this is, maybe the yellow room down towards the basement. And we were downstairs, we were going by the library.
Starting point is 00:29:14 he was talking about stuff and he's like, oh, oh, oh, I got to show you this. He's exactly like I am when I get over to the museum. His head would explode if he came over to the museum. His head would explode. The two of us would just, because he's exactly like I am. When I get to a tour over the museum, nobody can stop me. Everybody's like, Glenn, you've got all these. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, wait, just a minute. And I'm so excited to share all of history. That's what he is doing. He's not he's not boasting. He's not, he's so excited to show American history. And we walked into this room and he was, he was like, oh, you got to see this painting.
Starting point is 00:29:53 And this is where I understood, he really knows art. He's like, you've got to see this painting. And he comes in all these beautiful paintings. And this is the room where before he talks about the painting, I said, let me ask you something, Mr. President. I know you're Donald J. Trump, but, and he stopped me. And I was kind of frustrated because he was like, oh, absolutely. And I thought he doesn't know what I'm going to ask. He did know.
Starting point is 00:30:19 I said, what do you mean? And he said, every day I get up and I think, I can't believe I'm allowed in this house. I can't believe I'm in this house. So you want to talk about humble? Does that sound like a dictator? Does that sound like a dictator New York Times? So he goes in and he's like, look at this painting. And it's the painting of Jackio.
Starting point is 00:30:38 It is stunning, this painting of Jackio. and this is us in that room. Now, do any of those things sound like a dictator? Any of them? Any of them. I have to tell you, I didn't sign non-disclosure on one thing that, but out of respect for him, I'm not going to say it until I get permission from somebody at the White House.
Starting point is 00:31:09 and I know he's on his way to Rome today to go pay his respects to the Pope. But I can't if, oh, man, I want to show, because I have the physical, I have the photographic evidence of something that will blow your mind about this guy. And I know if they, if I ask, they're going to say, no, please don't, please don't. But I have it. They don't know I have it. And they didn't make me sign of confidence. It was, it was captured during a moment while we were filming.
Starting point is 00:31:39 so I have the right to do it, but I want to do it so badly, but I'm not going to out of respect for him. But I know he's going to say, no, you can't show that. But I have to tell you, we airbrushed something out of something of a photo that has been released. My wife caught it. And she's like, did you see this? And I'm like, no. And she's like, look at this. And it stopped everybody in their tracks.
Starting point is 00:32:06 And they're like, holy cow, what? and it is, it tells you everything you need to know about this guy. And out of courtesy, we have airbrushed it. And I got to tell you, if he won't allow me to talk about it at some point when he's no longer the president, I am going to tell you about it because it is, it tells you everything about who this who this guy truly is, who he truly is. And I know it and I know why it's there because I know. who he was meeting with just about an hour later.
Starting point is 00:32:43 And who he was meeting with were veterans and those veterans, the guy who was actually leading that. We were leaving the Roosevelt room and coming into the Roosevelt room was Tim Kennedy and he had a whole bunch of veterans with him. And you might have seen the video of him with the veterans where he's, they're taking off their prosthetics. and putting him on his desk and he's signing their prosthetics. And I know who he, I just know who he is. I know who he is. Oh,
Starting point is 00:33:19 we are so close to getting this information. This is not going to even take a month. We were, no, I'm not even close. One day after he came back. Not even close to telling you what I, what I know from upstairs.
Starting point is 00:33:27 You've already walked us down the whole hallway. I'll have to do is open the door. You're all the way down there. This is, I mean, nope, nope, I won't.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Like that was torture. You built up this great story. and then you don't tell us the story. Well, it is torture because that one, I don't have a non-disclosure on. That one is free game, but out of respect I don't want to say it. Because I know, I know him. No, no, no, please don't. Please don't.
Starting point is 00:33:53 I'm tell you, that one I'm going to either be on the phone with him or face to face and say, you've got to let me tell our story. Is it that he wants to be a dictator? Does he have a king? Does he have a king's crown? Is that what he has? All right, all right, I give. He has a guillotine.
Starting point is 00:34:08 in his pocket. Pocket guillotine. Yes. We're little teeny heads. Because all of the people that are overeducated and at the New York Times they have little teeny heads. And so he's got a little teeny head guillotine
Starting point is 00:34:22 that he carries around with him all the time. I knew that's who he was. Right. Oh, my God. Be in the New York Times in the next 15 minutes, I'm sure. So let's see. Here's something. Search warrant applicants or applications show
Starting point is 00:34:37 that federal investigators knew for years about the millions of dollars flowing to Joe Biden's son from Ukraine, China, Romania, and elsewhere. Newly unredacted IRS and FBI search warrants tied to the federal investigation into Hunter Biden provides new details of the information that investigators had in their possession about President Joe Biden's son's business deals
Starting point is 00:34:58 linked to Ukraine, China, and elsewhere. Multiple search warrant applications were released with only some redactions remaining late Tuesday following in a agreement between Hunter Biden's legal team and the Justice Department. The government has conferred with subject matter experts within the Department of Justice and counsel of Mr. Biden. The parties agree with search warrant applications and affidavits at issue may be unsealed
Starting point is 00:35:21 with limited redactions. According to the acting U.S. attorney for Delaware, she added the government proposes in counsel for Mr. Biden does not object to limited redactions to protect specific privacy and grand jury secrecy interests. So it's showing now again how the government, and this is the thing that I will pound him on a year from now. If we don't have arrest warrants for people who did this, I will pound him on this. And I told him, it means nothing. It means nothing.
Starting point is 00:36:06 We change everything. but you do it all through executive order and you don't clean out the Justice Department, you don't clean out the FBI, you don't clean out Intel. It means nothing because all that deep state will just, they'll just come back. They'll just come back.
Starting point is 00:36:23 And he knows it. And he's like, be patient, be patient, be patient. And I'll be patient. But not to the point to where nothing happens. Because if he loses the next election, God forbid, all of this stuff comes back. and it's got to be prosecuted. You know, you want to go after Hunter Biden,
Starting point is 00:36:41 go after Hunter Biden, that's fine. Who was it? Who was it that hid all of this stuff? I want to know who was it that hid that we had a vegetable for a president who couldn't do anything. That put our country at risk. I want them in jail. And I don't want them in jail through the dictate of a kid.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I want a fair, honest trial. I don't want any, quote, trumped up information. I want a real actual trial based on the Constitution and the facts. And if anyone broke the law, I don't care what party they're from. I want them in jail. That's the only way we save our country. Now, one last thing. I don't know if you saw what made the chief data.
Starting point is 00:37:36 analysis, the CNN go, holy cow. But the Democratic leaders in Congress, you know, they keep saying, you know, Donald Trump is having some low numbers. He's having some low numbers, especially when it comes to the economy. All right, the belief that the American people had that the Democrats would do the right thing in Congress for when it comes to the economy, last year, last year, it was at 80%. Now, that number is 39%. That is the lowest number by far in the history of Gallup polling. The lowest previous was 60%. Uh, Houston, I think we have a problem. They're about to suffocate in space. They have no idea. This is why Chuck Schumer bailed and said, no, we're not going to close down the government. And why we should have stood and said, no, no, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Shut the government down, Chuckie. Shut it down. We have, Congress, it's not the day to piss me off. Congress, get back to work. Get back to work. Fix the nation. Work with the president. Pass the tax cuts.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Real tax cuts. Pass real regs. Pass the Raines Act. you won't have to do anything. You just pass the Raines Act. You know why you won't? Because it makes you do your job again. That's why you won't, you weasels.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Back in just a minute. All right, let me talk to you about Lear Capital. I'm kind of in a mood today. Kind of in a mood. So what's the Fed doing? Oh, I don't know. What's happening to the dollar? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Is your retirement safe? I don't know. The answer to those things is not doing anything. Is your retirement safe? No, it's really not. Let's be honest. Please, let's be honest. Lear Capital can help you.
Starting point is 00:39:41 May I suggest you move a portion of what you have into physical precious metals, gold and silver. Have you seen the price of gold a year ago? I was telling you you could call Lear Capital and they give you their new $4,500 gold report, where maybe by the end of the term, gold would be at a year ago. $4,500. Well, it's at $3,500 today. When I first started talking about it, it was at $2,000. Nothing moves in gold that fast without real problems. That is a signal. Please pay attention to this signal. It is the biggest bat signal the economy has. Please call Lear Capital, 800-957 gold, 800-9-7 gold. Get your $4,200-gold report while it's under $4,000.

Starting point is 00:41:59 Johnny wrote, it's projection. This is exactly how the New York Times views themselves with Obama as their former son king. It's exactly right. They see what they feel, what they dream of. And they always accuse us of what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Is it MoMA or Mommy with an eye? Says, Glenn, I'm looking at the photos online. How'd you get some? a beautiful wife. I know, right? Is that crazy? Great point.

So, you know, I could tell her, she could hear her so I could tell her what you're feeling right there. Solid muscle. Solid muscle. And she believed me. Interestingly enough, she did get her eyesight back, but then intentionally blinded herself. Yeah, she clawed her eyes out at night. It was, it was weird. It was weird.

How are you doing, sir?
Starting point is 00:46:51 I am great. I'm great. What were you doing in the White House? Oh, I was there for a week. The day that I saw you, we were going in to see the president, and I was escorting a bunch of wounded heroes for what is the fifth celebration. now that we're doing it, and it'll be, you know, hopefully a national holiday for Wounded Heroes Day. We'll have Memorial Day, we'll have Veterans Day, and then in between those two things, we'll have wounded Heroes Day, especially on the, you know, the right side of 20 years at war. We definitely need to celebrate these guys that have given so much, these guys and gals. You know, I tell you, I was out, Tim, two weeks ago, and let's just say, I can't remember what days of the week they were,
Starting point is 00:47:35 but let's say on a Wednesday, I'm talking about. to a group of people and a guy comes up to me and he said, I wanted to be here tonight, but my son two days ago, he was in the military and he just committed suicide. Oh my goodness. Yeah, and then two days later, I'm someplace else. And this mom comes up to me and she said,
Starting point is 00:47:58 I just wanted to say hi and she starts crying and I said, are you okay? And she said, my son just committed suicide. He was in the military. And this has got to stop, Tim. This has got to stop. What do we need to do? We have to have a massive culture shift.
Starting point is 00:48:16 We have to give these young men and women purpose. You know, we've had in just this past week, I was with Secretary Collins, who's the secretary of the VA. He's an extraordinary man, a chaplain, a combat veteran, man, and he loves the veterans crying. He was literally crying talking about he's had veterans commit suicide in the parking lots of VA. And he's like, this is what we're doing. I can't do it fast enough. But the man is pouring his heart out. His daughter is in a wheelchair from a lifetime struggle of medical issues.
Starting point is 00:48:50 So he has not just the combat veteran perspective, but he also appreciates as, you know, the father kind of care provider of somebody that's in a wheelchair, the struggles of mobility. And so he really appreciates the whole entire spectrum of these people and their struggles, especially our veterans. And, you know, as you know, there's nothing worse than a young person or a man that is living without purpose. And these men, their service was purpose. Their teams and the men to the left and the right were their purpose. And now they're searching for the next thing.
Starting point is 00:49:24 You know, Afghanistan, how embarrassing that withdrawal was. That deeply hurt every veteran that went to Afghanistan. You know, and then watching the Taliban just run wreck and havoc throughout the whole entire region. You know, we're still spending, sending $2 billion a year over to Afghanistan. Yeah. Fortunately, you know, like all of, we have an incredible cabinet, and they are rapidly fixing these things. You know, but it's such a mess.
Starting point is 00:49:55 We were left with such a mess. And the Tulsi Gabbards and the Sebastian Gorkins, the Joe Kent's, and the Mike Walts's, they just can't go fast enough. I know they can't. Let me ask you this about, Tulsi Gabbard. I worry about her. I mean, she is, I mean, she is at the gates of hell. The Intel community is just, it's just a den of vipers. You know, that's, that's the gates of the, of the real deep state and, you know, everything that's going on around the world. Is Tulsi surrounded by enough people to be able to pull this thing off? That's, that's a really great question. I hate that answer.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Yeah, she's an extraordinary woman. She is. She's brilliant. She's passionate. She loves the Constitution. She loves the uniform. She loves our country. And, you know, we got Killer Kent.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Joe Kent, former Green Beret, special forces guy that went to the agency as a guy that would go into, you know, combat operations for the agency. Lost his wife, Shannon Kent in that same type of world. We have Sebastian Gorka, Dr. Gorka, Andy Stewart, the group at the very top of the Intel community, obviously, Mike Waltz, another Green Beret, a former teammate of mine, these people know that the system is fighting against them. And then the one tier down, you know, the upper to mid-level management of the intelligence community, they are embedded operatives that are anti-everything everything for. reform and change. So they are trying to manipulate. They are leaking things to the press that shouldn't be leaked screen captures of chat conversations, but they're going to get caught, you know, between Cash Patel, Pam Bondi and Tulsi Gabbard, those are people you do not want to be on the opposite side of an adversarial position. So I tell you, Tim, I agree with that 100% and yet you're
Starting point is 00:51:55 not seeing, I mean, this is the way the audience feels at least. They're not seeing those agencies moving and I talked to the president about it on Wednesday and I said, you know, what's happening? He said, Glenn, you got to give it time. It's still early. And what I heard from others outside of the White House was that Congress is not giving them the people around them that they need to be able to move quickly enough. Is that going to change? I mean, is Congress going to change? No.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Are you kidding me? Like that bit of Vipers, as you put it? perfectly. Yeah, they're undermining and they're currently fighting against to postpone and slow to keep that Merck and Meyer that is the intelligence community ineffective. And I want to make, I want to make it clear. I believe that's the Republicans just as much as the Democrats. You agree with that? I do agree with that. Not all of them. There are great ones in there. Right. But absolutely. Like, the fact that this is not a partisan issue that our peer level adversaries are positioning to attack us and there are embedded, embedded terrorist cells here in the United States that are working
Starting point is 00:53:07 to kill Americans and they are currently undermining our intelligence capabilities, they should be hung publicly. That's what they should. That's absolutely what should happen. It's treason what they're doing to Tulsi Gabbard and Cass Patel. I agree. Pam Bondi. I agree. We're talking to Tim Kennedy, talking to the president about the border and what's going on on the border this week. And I said, know, if I were, you know, a Mexican citizen and knowing that my government was in bed with the cartels, I would be hoping that, you know, some special forces just show up in the middle night and start killing people in these cartels. And he said, well, that would be newsbreaking if I said that would be a good idea. But, you know, I hope it doesn't come to that. But it was
Starting point is 00:53:53 clear that that is on the table. I mean, that really has to happen. Does it not? I mean, that is a collapsed narco state in Mexico, isn't it? Yeah, the rules of war that we are going to be experiencing for the next five to ten years are not the traditional maneuver warfare that people remember from Korea and from Vietnam and from even GWAT where, you know, like we know who our enemy is. These are going to be businesses. These are, you know, syndicated criminal organizations that do not fight fair. And the cartel owns both the businesses, the corporates. and the criminal networks that are involved in that. So yes, it's absolutely on the table.
Starting point is 00:54:37 And the group of people that are sitting on like the go button are absolute savages, Mr. Beck. I know they are. I know some of them. And they're just like, they're just chomping at the bit to go. I know. That's the truth. We're in conversation with the cartels right now. And the cartels are saying, hey, we don't want to die.
Starting point is 00:54:59 We don't want to be wiped off the face of the planet, which we know is about to happen. So, you know, are there other options where, hey, what if we stop human trafficking? What if we stop fentanyl production entirely? What if we, you know, sex slaves? What if all of that just goes away? What if we stop and seal the border on the south side? What are you going to, like, would we maybe be allowed to transport, you know, some cocaine and some marijuana?
Starting point is 00:55:25 I'm totally fine with this. If we stop fentanyl, we stop human trafficking, we stop a gun smoking, and we stop the invasion of our border. Like, I'll, and we don't have to do a whole bunch of killing, you know, whatever. But they're, they're, they're on the brink of, I hope they do. The chance of existence. I hope they do. The, you know, when you, when you look at what is, what is happening there and what
Starting point is 00:55:51 they're bringing over here, it just, it has to stop dead in its tracks, dead in its tracks. It has to stop. And it has to stop soon. I mean, you know, the president is dead. dealing with these courts, which I think is just judicial insurrection, as Mike Lee puts it. And it's got to stop. The president has to protect our borders and has to protect our cities. This is, you know, this is the opium wars done to China by the English, you know, 200 years ago, or 150 years ago. And now they're doing it to us. That's what's happening.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Yeah. Tell me about the Christians and genocide that you, leave is on the horizon. Just yesterday, back at the White House yesterday, listening to some briefs about, there's some brilliant companies that are able to do predictive modeling using literally every public and classified source of information. And there's these events that are pretty predictable. They predicted what was going to happen in Afghanistan, predicted what was going to happen in Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Well, they see regionally that on the very near horizon, as soon as like late summer, we are going to see real instability throughout Centcom and the Indo-Pacific region. And some of those things, some of the catalysts that are, the data points are what are the killing of Christians. And it's happening all over Sentcom. and explain sentcom for anybody who doesn't know what centcom means to explain that if you just imagine the middle east um starting kind of in north africa and um western asia and everything that has lots of deserts and lots of Muslim countries just by coincidence there's also Israel sits in Centcom, one of the few non-Muslim democracies in that whole entire region. And, you know, the Houthis and Hamas and Hezbollah.
Starting point is 00:58:04 And then in former countries, like in Syria and Iraq, Afghanistan, those places, it's just a massacre of Christians right now. So let me take a one minute break. Come back because I want to talk to you more about that because you've been involved. We've been with you with Mercury 1 and trying to help. And I know what we're gearing up for. And I want to see if there's anything that you need and you would recommend besides total prayers for Christians. And I want to go deeper into what this predictive model is showing in just a second. First, let me tell you about preborn.
Starting point is 00:58:42 You know, if you were in the room with a woman who was thinking about giving up her baby, what would you say? If a scared young woman looked you in the eye and said, I don't think I can do this. I'm alone. I don't know if it's really a baby yet. What would you do? Would you yell at her? Would you say, you can't do that? You'll go to hell.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Or just tell her you're strong enough. You are. Show her pictures of your kids, maybe. Talk about miracles. Talk about God. Talk about anything. Anything. We're here for you.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Would you beg her? Just wait. None of us would show her pictures of an aborted baby. None of us would yell at her. Okay. truth is we'll never be in that room most of us, but pre-born is in that room and they don't argue. They don't shame.
Starting point is 00:59:27 They do something really simple. It turns out it's very persuasive. Just offer her a free ultrasound. And when she hears that tiny heartbeat, when she sees the image on the screen, everything changes. More than half the time the mom chooses life. The rest of the time, she's like,
Starting point is 00:59:40 I just, I'm alone. I don't, I can't afford, I can't. And that's where they come in after that. They take care of mom. This saves two lives. This saves the life of torture for that woman and the baby's life. Please donate your best gift today. Go to pound 250.
Starting point is 00:59:58 Say the keyword baby for preborn. It's pound 250 keyword baby. You know, just a few bucks pays for an ultrasound. And it just changes lives. Saves lives. Preborn.com slashback. Sponsored by preborn. Preborn.com slash back.
Starting point is 01:00:13 10 seconds station ID. So Tim, maybe we'll have you out for, we're doing a big. benefit for the Nazarene Fund this fall. I don't even have details on it. I just heard about it yesterday. And what that is is we go and rescue Christians or we pay and help people like you go rescue Christians. We just empower people like you to help. I'd love to invite you to that. And when we get closer, I will. Tell me about this predictive model. Why is it saying that it is going to get so bad. What's coming our way? Yeah. Can we go back to Nazarene funds and Mercury 1? Sure. I love you guys. I don't, you know, we publicly can't say a lot of the things that we do at save our allies,
Starting point is 01:01:13 but none of it's possible without you, frankly. Like if you look at me and our team in Afghanistan or in Ukraine providing humanitarian aid and pulling people out of the war zones all the way to the forest east that you could possibly get at the border with Russia. Every place that we have been has been because of you, quite frankly, Mr. Beck. Please, and stop calling you, Mr. Beck, and give credit where this audience is so gracious. They are so gracious. Yeah, they just have to understand the amount of Samaritan's purse, Mercury 1, Nazarene Fund. Like, we see you guys every single place in the worst, most dire position.
Starting point is 01:01:52 So, you know, Glenn, thank you so much. But to your question, you know, we are on the, if you just look in the past month, you know, you can look to Syria. You can look to the next to our bill. You can look to the Congo where you see thousands of Christians being killed. You see Muslim converts that were being specifically targeted down in Congo just last week. Another 29 Christians were killed in 2020. in the coastal region of Syria, there was like this region of violence. Another thousand were killed.
Starting point is 01:02:31 And so if you take, like if we're going to look at just civil unrest in a region and try to predict the instability of a particular administration or government, there's a whole bunch of, and we can take historical data from the past 50 years and start looking at, okay, economically, what is happening for instability? what is happening culturally, what is happening in the markets, what's happening in like really clear data points. And we have this bell curve of what's normal. And then you have these outliers that there's a coup,
Starting point is 01:03:09 or every time there's genocide, or every time, and there's enough data now where we, especially with AI, and we can scrape all of history, we can then very accurately start, you know, on the special operation side, If I'm trying to find somebody in space and time, that used to be a difficult thing to predict where a human is going to be so I could maybe bring them to justice. And if we look in the first 95 days of the president in office and our intelligence community, specifically the Tulses and the Sebastian Gorkas going to work with, you know, Cash Patel enabling them in Pambondi, 45 Americans that have been illegally detained abroad brought home.
Starting point is 01:03:54 You know, we are knocking on the door of 100 radical terrorists wanting to do harm against Americans, dead. And we are trying to get ahead of what we know is coming, which is complete near civil war in Afghanistan, trying to get stability in Congo. Obviously, we see what's happening in Haiti. And every time one of these places starts becoming less secure and unstable, that is the breeding ground. for radical adversarial, funded by our adversaries like China and Iran to then conduct attacks on Americans. But they're not doing it direct.
Starting point is 01:04:38 It's like via proxy. But, you know, Haiti, if we don't pay attention to it, China will use it. Congo. Yeah. I know. And it just keeps happening. Tim, I can't thank you enough for everything you do. You're really a remarkable man.
Starting point is 01:04:54 It was such an honor to see you. the White House. And as usual, see you at the White House in your serving and serving veterans. So thank you for everything, Tim. Appreciate it. Yeah. God bless you. You're amazing. Always in your corner. Let me know what you need. You got it. Thank you. Tim Kennedy, former U.S. Army Special Forces. He was a sniper, former UFC fighter and really a servant to our our vets. Next year is going to be a tough year all the way around the world. It's going to be very tough. What he's saying is coming is coming. I, you know, people say I think Donald Trump was saved for a reason to
Starting point is 01:05:29 save the Republic. I'm not sure that we understand God's mind. It may have just been to postpone and give us more time to prepare. I'm not sure. I hope we save the Republic, but it might be time to prepare because things are very, very dicey in the world. And we just need to be prayerful, thoughtful, Jesus-like people. This is Glenn Beck. Buying or selling a home shouldn't feel like you're trying to get into the Pentagon. Sometimes it does if you find yourself whispering things like, is this normal?
Starting point is 01:06:04 Am I supposed to know what escrow is? Why did the seller leave a bathtub in the backyard? I'm not really sure. Real estate shouldn't be difficult. You shouldn't need a friend who knows a guy, who knows a guy, just to find a good agent. You should be able to trust somebody who actually knows what they're doing, who has the track record to prove it. But how do you find that person? Over a decade
Starting point is 01:06:24 ago, I created real estate agents I trust. I got so tired of seeing terrible agent after terrible agent. And I started working with the 500 best real estate agents, according to the Wall Street Journal, 500 best real estate agents in the country. And I started to get to know them. And I started asking, what makes you different? And you could see it. There were things that ran through all of them. Well, we started looking for those threads. And now we have put people together. We have vetted for success, experience, and basic human decency. And so whether you're buying, selling, or relocating, it doesn't cost you anything. I'm not charging you anything for the recommendation.
Starting point is 01:06:58 All you have to do is go to real estate agents. itrust.com. That's real estate agents, I trust.com. Tell us where you're buying, you're selling, what you need, and get everything you need. Real estate agents, I trust.com. Make sure you join millions at glenbeck.com, who are there every day for commentary, daily newsletters, radio podcast, and so much more. coming soon. It's all you need, glenbeck.com. Welcome to the uh, the glenbeck program.
Starting point is 01:07:40 We're glad to hear. We're glad that you're here. There's a, there's a couple of things that, uh, I want to talk to you about. If you're living in Washington state, may I just say, get the hell out now. Uh, I've said that. The entire state? The entire state. Get out of the state. Wow. And I'm, I'm dead serious on that. You are, you're living in a state that has gone absolutely insane. First of all, we talked about this before, and nobody's really talking about this. The medical thing that they just passed in Washington State, and they passed it, and the governor has signed it. And basically it says, if there's a medical emergency, we'll do whatever we want to you. Now, remember, this is the state that was talking about building like little internment camps
Starting point is 01:08:24 for people who wouldn't get vaccinated last time. Okay? They were talking about that. If you think that they won't do that, you're out of your mind. You're crazy. And so it says if the governor decides that there's a medical emergency, a statewide emergency, that the state based on, I love this one, based on scientific experts, they will dictate what happens to every, you know, every individual, what you have to get. If scientific experts tell you, you have to take this, you will be forced to take that. I'm not having my kids in that state. I'm not living in that state. Are you living in that state? Because they will do it. They're telling you, after everything we went through in a COVID, they're now doubling down and saying, oh yeah, by the way, we're going to encode this
Starting point is 01:09:13 into law. Really, the COVID era was such a great separator from, you know, very roughly blue states and red states where you saw what the approach was going to be. And you can make the decision as to which one you want to live in when something like this goes down. And I think people did make that decision with their feet. I mean, you know, California abandoned for places like Texas and Florida. That's, I think, really, really clear. And I think we've seen after the COVID separation there, you also have seen kind of a codification on both sides. I mean, conservatives and red states have really gone out of their way to signal that they would not
Starting point is 01:10:00 do this again and they would do things differently than the other states would and blue states are now codifying their side of that which is hey if you don't listen to the science then we don't want you here and we're going to put into law
Starting point is 01:10:16 that the science shall be followed next time not not hey wait a minute we made a big big mistake we kept all those schools closed and everything they're going the opposite they're going the opposite way they're saying their science was right that's what they're saying. They're saying, which is hilarious.
Starting point is 01:10:29 Even if we got it wrong, we won't get it wrong next time. We go, we'll follow the science. Are you mad? Did you see what just happened? And even when places like the New York Times are now admitting that things like school closings were completely crazy, right?
Starting point is 01:10:44 Like that's all happened, not just in our publications, not just on our side of the debate, but on their side of the debate. Yeah. In a lot of ways. Get out. Get out.
Starting point is 01:10:52 Okay. So that's one of them. How about this one? The new Tesla tax. just passed by Democrats in Washington State. It cleared the House 5245, supported solely by Democrats, and it's to address the state's budget deficit. Well, all of these states that have been spending money like crazy, California, Washington State,
Starting point is 01:11:14 I'm not bailing you out. I tell you, I will, I will march to secede if this government is going to bail out the states that have been spending money out of control while our states have been responsible, I am not sending my tax dollars to support your state because you went under. I'm sorry, it's not a suicide pack. The Constitution is not a suicide pack. And because you are committing suicide doesn't mean my state has to commit suicide. I'm not doing it.
Starting point is 01:11:45 I'm not doing it. And that is a hard, fast line with me. I'm not doing it. When New York and Illinois and California and Oregon and Washington State all are hemorrhaging because they can't pay their bills, why should I have to pay for that? Why? I don't live there. We've been preaching against it. The red states have been trying to live within their means.
Starting point is 01:12:13 No. No. I'm not cutting my own throat so you don't ever learn a lesson. so you just keep doing what whatever it is you're doing when we're all doing living in the hard way you know what that is that's tarp that's the bailout of the big banks do you think the big banks learned a damn thing not one not one why because we the taxpayers had to bail their ass out and so what did they do well just keep doing the same thing they just put it on another name i will
Starting point is 01:12:43 believe i say that they did learn that yeah they learned that's the way the world works exactly right that's an important lesson exactly right and that's a that's exactly right and that's is why Donald Trump has got to win. He has got to get this to win. He's got to turn this thing around and turn it around quickly. He's got to break the back of this world economic forum, great reset, big bank bull crap, all these central. He's got to break the back of that and reset it to an actual economy that runs with the people, not the big banks and the big big, businesses. You know, they've built this, this, uh, public, private structure. Um, and they're just, and they're just going to, they're just going to, all they're going to do is those people will
Starting point is 01:13:33 continue to get rich. If you're with them, you're fine. Let me tell you about the Tesla tax. So lawmakers in California said that Tesla's profits need to go to a greater public purpose. So the legislation targets the windfall profits that Tesla earns from selling ZEV credits, with proponents arguing that the revenue should bend at public goals, like improving EV accessibility rather than enriching a single company. So they're taxing Tesla. And if you think that that money is going to go to build more electric stations, you're crazy.
Starting point is 01:14:20 How many billions did we just give to Joe Biden so we could have what? Three electric stations? Please. So now this is socialism. This is socialism. They're going after Tesla declaring that their profits need to go to a greater public purpose. Who are they to say that? And all of your, all of the people that live around you in Seattle and everywhere,
Starting point is 01:14:50 else, if you think you're going to beat this system, at this time, if they're still going down the road that hard, you ain't going to win. You're not going to win. They're going to take that state down. And you do not want to be anywhere near it. I say this with a love for Seattle. I love Seattle. I love Washington. It's my home. I love it. But I got to tell you, get the hell out of there. There's something else that I have in the show prep today. You can get it at glenbeck.com. There was another story about what they're doing in Washington State about,
Starting point is 01:15:33 gosh, where was it? About the removal of, gosh, I can't find it now. It's another bill that they're passing that if you're in trouble and I don't remember, you need to be heard or you're you're trying to, you know, exonerate yourself or whatever. Illegals are going to be ahead of you in that line. Illegals are going to be ahead of you. Washington Democrats pass a bill to give illegal aliens with convictions priority for pardons. HB. 1131 allows convicted non-citizens facing deportation to skip the front of the clemency line ahead of U.S. citizens.
Starting point is 01:16:17 What is that? What is that? Is that a state that understands what America is? a state that is pulling towards a greater America, that is, get out of that state. Sell your house and get out of that state. I mean, this, if this isn't, I mean, if this isn't every warning that you got in World War II when you were living in Europe, you're like, wow, I can't get worse than this. It's getting worse. It's getting worse. And they're telling you, Yeah, well, they'll never do it. What makes you think they won't do that? They would have done it if they had it encoded in the law.
Starting point is 01:17:00 They would have done it the last time. Do you think it's only Australia that would build concentration camps? By the way, I know my family is from Washington State. My grandfather told me one time with tears running down his cheeks. Only time I ever saw my grandfather cry. Only time was when he talked about the good Japanese family that was taken and taken because we were at war with Japan and he never saw them again.
Starting point is 01:17:27 That's all he said. He was one of those, you know, greatest generation that never talked about feelings and tears running down his cheeks and he's talking about that. I know what Washington State's capable of. They've done it before. Do you think they won't do it again?
Starting point is 01:17:43 Please. And now you have, what's his name, David Hogg. You think that guy's not a round him up, kind of guy. He's now saying he's going to spend all this money going against the old Democrats. And the old Democrats are saying, no, you're not going to do it. Who do you think is going to win that? The old Democrats, Hogg's going to win that. Do you really think that the Democrats are going to become less radical or more radical? They're going to be more radical. They're showing you. They are showing you the path. Let me just reiterate what I said a minute ago. I have great hope in this
Starting point is 01:18:24 administration. I do. I have great hope. I have great hope in the people. I have a great hope that we can renew. I have a great hope that a golden age is right around the corner. But I'm telling you, it's going to come to the finish line. It is going to be a photo finish. Which one crosses the line first? The left with their collapse and their and their bonfires in the streets, or us with the renewal of America and a new promise and a resetting back to the individual and not the collective. I don't know which one wins. We're still in this fight. Don't get, don't get, don't fool yourself.
Starting point is 01:19:00 Oh, Donald Trump is in and it's all great. No, no, no, don't fool yourself. And I know you're not. I hear it from people. I hear it all the time. I didn't hear it like this in 2016. Donald Trump came in and everybody's like, that's fixed.
Starting point is 01:19:11 I'm not feeling that now. I think people, you know, I had a guy say to me, a good friend, a really reasonable guy. I said, what do you want me to ask the president? He said, honestly? I said, yeah. Is this even fixable? Can it be saved at this point?
Starting point is 01:19:34 That took my breath away. This is a regular, regular, reasonable guy who does not think like I do, you know, where everything is. Can it even be saved? That's where we are, gang. And don't forget it. And when your government, like in Washington State, is sending you a sign, get the hell out of there. Let's talk about your dog's diet. By the way, if you have money especially, do you think they're going to let you leave?
Starting point is 01:20:02 You know, they're not going to impose some exit tax in Washington. You can't just take your money out of Washington State. You better get out before they do that. Let's talk about your dog's diet, which, if you're being honest, ranges from pretty good to, oh, no, he's eating plastic again. We love our dogs, but nutrition-wise, most of them are basically fluffy garbage disposals. They'll eat anything. Kibble? Great.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Kibble from three days ago under the couch. even better. Problem is most commercial dog food, even the good stuff, is cooked at temperatures that burn off all the nutrients that your dog actually needs. Rough Greens solves this issue. It's not a dog food. It's a nutritional supplement that you sprinkle right on top of their food. It has vitamins, minerals, probiotics, digestive enzymes. It comes with an expiration date. Yeah, why? Because it's alive. It's the stuff they need. Omega fatty acids. It all works. It's all there. The results, more energy, better digestion, healthier coat. I don't think you're a lot. I don't think you're going to believe how much different your dog behaves and is when they have rough greens.

James in Washington. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Hi, James. How are you folks doing today? I'm good. How are you? Where are you in Washington?
Starting point is 01:22:01 I'm in Spokane, Washington. Eastern Washington. Sorry about that. Spokane. You know, eastern Washington used to be the same part of Washington. It's not that way anymore, is it? No, it still is to a certain extent. Oh, is it? outside of Spokane and Pullman, for the most part, it's pretty sane. Now, you get a lot of guys that come over from the west side, Seattle, Everett, Olympia, Tacoma area over here. Yeah, you can tell them they're waterlogged. You know, he's still over there.
Starting point is 01:22:29 Yeah. Anyway. Well, they come over here with their ideas, and they think, well, it's great, but they don't want to deal with the west side B.S. Right. That's the funny part. Uh-huh. Interesting. So is anybody in your state talking about movies?
Starting point is 01:22:44 moving? I am. You are? I've told, I've flat told my wife, I want to move to Texas. Yeah, it's pretty good here. I do not want to be in Washington. I don't even want to be in Northern Idaho. There's a reason why I don't want to be at Northern Idaho.
Starting point is 01:22:58 Southern Idaho is kind of nice. Southern Idaho is kind of nice. If I had my option, and there's a lot of people that have said this, we would succeed from Western Washington, Eastern Washington, take Northern Idaho with us, and Southern Idaho can have eastern. Oregon. Yes. Yes, please. Yes, please. I'd love that. I mean, yeah, there's, there's, you know, look, the infection is everywhere through the country, but, you know, Texas is pretty sweet, but we need more people like you moving to Texas because Texas is, people don't understand this.
Starting point is 01:23:32 Texas is on the edge. They are spending billions of dollars to turn us blue, and it could happen, especially with this Hollywood nonsense that's moving in and what's happening in Austin. It could happen. So what's stopping you from moving, James? In Washington State, because nobody in my state wants to work. I work telecommunication, so I work two jobs just not to make, part of it's to make ends me, the other parts to get myself out of debt because I don't want to be enslaved by the government debt, $15 billion in Washington State, $12 billion in new taxes just to cover the 15 that they already spent, but they want to continue to spend that.
Starting point is 01:24:16 Unbelievable. It's unbelievable. It's insane. James, thank you. Stay safe. Move to Texas. Or Southern Idaho would be nice. By the way, if you've ever voted for a Democrat ever, uh, Southern Idaho really bad. You'd hate it. You'd hate it. Texas. Oh my gosh. The heat, the humidity. The bugs are the size of, well, Volkswagen bugs. They're that big and frightening. It'll scare your children. Don't move here. This is Glenn Beck. You know, a lot of people aren't living the life they want. Not because they lack talent or drive, but because they're paying so much every month in high interest debt.

Starting point is 01:28:33 Not the way to start. That's how I wanted to. No, I wanted to bring this story to your attention, Glenn, because I thought it was fascinating and right up your alley in a very dark and weird, twisted way. All right, good. So it's a story of Daniel Conneman. He's a known, a pretty famous thinker.
Starting point is 01:28:50 He probably... He came up with Connabins? Named after him? Daniel Condiment, yes. He came up with Relish. Okay. Wow. And they named all the rest of the condiments after him.
Starting point is 01:28:58 No. He was a, he was technically a psychologist, but he was a kind of known for his work in behavioral economics. And his probably most famous work was a book called Thinking Fast and Slow. Oh, yeah, yeah. Which is a great book. Yeah, great, actually. Fascinating book. And basically breaking the way we make decisions down into a fast way, which is like instinctive and reactionary.
Starting point is 01:29:22 and a slow way, which is slow, methodical, logical. And a lot of times we think we're making decisions on the logical path, when we're actually making them on the fast path. And so it's a great book. He was also half of the subject of Michael Lewis's book called The Undoing Project, which is another really good book. And it's about behavioral economics is kind of where he, even though he wasn't necessarily an economist,
Starting point is 01:29:46 that's where he was kind of, you know, he wound up winning the Nobel Prize in economics. So he passed away recently. That was somewhat of a big deal. A big story in that world. Yeah, yeah. However, now we're getting the results and the sort of behind the scenes of what happened to this guy. Wasn't hit by a bus.
Starting point is 01:30:07 Was not hit by a bus. He wasn't walking in the wrong place in Ukraine. Huh. He wasn't caught up in a tsunami in Japan. Drop dead when a house fell on it. No, that's a good guess. Okay, all right. It's actually much, much, much worse than that.
Starting point is 01:30:26 Okay. So March 19th, 2024, he wound up actually dying on the 27th, but he was communicating with some people on March 19th, and he was explaining how he was going to die. Now, you might say, okay, well, I mean, we kind of tease the assisted suicide part of this. You know, he's got cancer, he's got some debilitating disease. It's just going to be terrible. It can't take the pain anymore. Whatever, right?
Starting point is 01:30:51 Not the case, was it? Not the case. No. In explanation, Professor Connman's included a letter that his friends would receive a few days later. Quote, I have believed since I was a teenager that the miseries and indignities of the last years of life are superfluous. And I am acting on that belief. Mm-hmm. I am still active. Still active. Enjoying many things in life.
Starting point is 01:31:13 Enjoying them. Except for the daily news. And I will die a happy man. Okay. But my kidneys are on their last leg. legs, the frequency of mental lapses is increasing, and I'm 90 years old, it's time to go, end quote. Okay. So he goes through an assisted suicide process here and kills himself over the fact that he's occasionally having mental lapses, but he still has a great life and is enjoying many things and going through life positively.
Starting point is 01:31:47 Can I stop you here? Yes. I am torn on this stuff so badly. Are you? Yeah, because the libertarian in me is like, whatever, dude, your life. However, the God part of me says, you're not God. You're not God. Life is sacred, and you should be grateful for every second that you have.
Starting point is 01:32:12 Yeah, and I think that's certainly where I land on it. Because as a person who's a libertarian, I think that's really only hitting your, the legal part of this conversation. Yes. Right. Like, you could sit here and say, well, people should be able to kill themselves. By the way, they do it all the time. And you can't really stop them.
Starting point is 01:32:30 It's really hard to stop them. A lot of those circumstances is very tragic. But it's really difficult to stop someone from jumping out of a building or jumping off a bridge or injecting themselves with something or overdosing. Sure. This happens. Sure. Especially when the president says put pneumonia right into your veins. Right.
Starting point is 01:32:43 Right. How many people did that? How many people? Immediately rushed out and injected bleach, even though he didn't say that at all. all. Right. So from a libertarian stance, of course we would frown upon that decision. But legally, it's difficult to stop people. There's, of course, a different situation when you're talking about having doctors assist you in that process. You know what I really like is it harkens back to the old-timey Germany days, you know, where the doctors are like, Mondeve put a little bit of this in your vein,
Starting point is 01:33:11 then you go sleepy, sleep. Right. You know, it just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And then you die. And then you die. So what I find fascinating about this is multiple things. Number one, just the, how we're just turning off what we used to believe was the sanctity of life. So hang on just a second. Isn't this the same guy or is there another guy that said this week about being just feeling useless that I don't really have a purpose anymore? Hmm. Could be.
Starting point is 01:33:41 Could be the same. And I thought, hmm, that's really, you know, that's not a reason to kill yourself. you know, you feel useless, you feel like you don't have a purpose, you should find one. You should find one, because there is a purpose in life. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:54 And that's kind of the goal is to find your purpose, you know, no matter what it is. And if we're just shutting ourselves off because there's, you know, I don't really feel like there's a purpose.
Starting point is 01:34:04 How many of our teenagers feel that way right now? And that's really awful. Yeah. And by the way, Canada will let you off yourself if you're a teenager and you feel like,
Starting point is 01:34:13 you know, I just don't have any purpose or will to live. Okay. If you're feeling, you know, me. Yeah. If you hit the meh standard. Well, the official diagnosis has to be meh.
Starting point is 01:34:24 And it has to be met. That has to be met by two doctors. Two doctors. I mean, Germany had three, but Canada is only requiring two. Good job, guys. Don't live up to those Nazi standards. There's one other detail to this that was revealed to me only after I printed the article. I want to give you that in a second.
Starting point is 01:34:42 But listen to a little bit more of this. Despite his advanced age, this person who, one up killing himself, was still capable of research and writing and could still enlighten audiences on how to make better decisions. Apart from his intellectual gifts, he was healthy enough to participate in friendship and family life. Why did none of this give him sufficient reason to continue to live? The answer, we believe, can be found toward the end of an interview we did with him.
Starting point is 01:35:07 He surprised us by denying that his work had any objective significance. Other people happen to respect it, and they say that it's for the benefit of human but I just like to get up in the morning because I like the work. We pushed back arguing that there are objectively good things to do with one's life, but he resisted. I feel like I live my life well, he said, but it's a feeling. I'm just reasonably happy with what I've done. I would say that if there's an objective point of view, then I'm totally irrelevant to it. If you look at the universe and the complexity of the universe, what I do with my day cannot be relevant.
Starting point is 01:35:42 That's the quote I was referring to. Oh, okay. That's the quote I was referring to. Yeah, it can't be relevant. I have no relevancy. Really? I was just with a, how old is Trump? 81?
Starting point is 01:35:54 Seriously, how old is? No, he's not that old. He's in the 70s. 79? Yeah. I mean, he's almost 80. And oddly, you looked older than the interview, which was interesting. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:36:04 I felt older around him. But the guy is like, I mean, you want to find a purpose? Look at that guy. 78, by the way. 78. Look at the purpose on that guy. I mean, I think this is maybe the, most important purpose of his entire life.
Starting point is 01:36:17 And he's done a lot. Yeah, and he's done a lot. And your life has no meaning whatsoever. You have to find it. That's that's your part of the deal. God gives you life. Then you find out what the purpose is. And you think about so many younger people, especially in we've talked about the
Starting point is 01:36:33 Jonathan Height book several times. Yeah. About this sort of empty feeling that younger people have. Because everything is all about buying stuff, being famous. All of the things Empty. That are empty. They have no meaning.
Starting point is 01:36:51 You know what gives you meaning? And I know this sounds horrible. Work. It's not horrible to say that work gives you help. It's part of what gives you meaning. I don't like work. I don't like it either. I mean, gosh, look at my resume.
Starting point is 01:37:05 I've been with you for a very long time. I don't like it either. It's been all work, for me at least. I don't like it. I don't like hard work. But there is something about doing something, getting up every day. This is something I say to my son.
Starting point is 01:37:17 He's like, I don't know. Get your ass out of bed. Make your bed. Go find something to do. No matter how meaningless it is, find meaning in it by doing it well. You're going to make a hamburger? Make the best damn hamburger anyone can make. You will come home, beat to snot, tired, but you will find purpose in your,
Starting point is 01:37:44 your life just by doing things. That's, that's, I mean, I'm sorry. That's just what has to be said. Boy, am I getting to be that old
Starting point is 01:37:52 where I'm like that kind of old, jumpy man? Just get off your ass and do something. Right. Get a job. Get a job. Yeah. That is crucial.
Starting point is 01:38:02 You'd like, by the way, David Bonson's book, it's called full-time work and the meaning of life. And that's exactly what the book's about is about, it's true. You do find purpose in this,
Starting point is 01:38:11 and that's good. You know, my son and I, We went out, I don't know, a couple of years ago. And I'm not a, it's going to come as a surprise to you. I mean, because you look at me and you're like, well, that is a, he is a hardworking man. I don't do a lot of manual labor. Never have.
Starting point is 01:38:26 You're kidding me. But you own a ranch. What do you mean? There's a horse in the middle of our logo. You're riding horses around a big. I do. And I have people that saddle that horse, bring that horse to me. You know, I go, I go up to farmers and I shake their hands and they're like, what the hell?
Starting point is 01:38:42 I just, I mean, my wife's hand. aren't as soft as yours. And I'm like, I'm working a day in my life, Jack. So, but I don't, I, mm-mm, annual labor, don't like it. Avoid it like the plague always have. But my son and I, we went and we had to go build fences, you know, you know, on the ranch. And then we, we had to take down and we had to sand these gates down.
Starting point is 01:39:08 And, you know, get all the rust off of them and paint them and everything. It was the best week. either of us at we worked so hard all the the whole time we would come in and we could just barely sit at the table and eat and both of us look at those pictures of those times and go that was fun we weren't thinking that at the time but it it there is something about that there is you know it's it's like how everybody looks at their worst time of their life oh it's such a struggle man we just barely but when you get past it, you go back and you look at it and go like those were actually good times. Those were good times.
Starting point is 01:39:50 They always say this. I wouldn't want to do them again. Don't want to repeat them. But those were good times. Why? Because that struggle, you learned something about yourself. You, you, you were pushed into areas that you didn't, you didn't know you even had. That's what gives you purpose. That's what That's what teaches you is the hard things, the hard work, the hard knocks. All of this teaches us something. And our society has rejected it 100%. I don't want to do that. That sounds hard.
Starting point is 01:40:25 I don't want to do that job. That sounds hard. You're going to make me take a test? That sounds hard. I got to do what? No, that sounds hard. That connects directly to what Andrew Cleveland was talking about yesterday at this time. you know, he's talking about murders.
Starting point is 01:40:41 He was taking positives out of murders because it turned into art and all these incredible thought. Correct. Experiments and ways that we learn and evolved. And you could find it everywhere. That's part of life, right? Yeah. It's what will save us in the end.
Starting point is 01:40:57 Should all of this, should all of this just come apart? Okay. And I hope it doesn't. But should the next four years show that, yeah, they gave it a college, try and it just fell apart. And we're in really bad times. What will, what will be the difference will be those who choose to say, this is going to be for our own good. Good will come of this. I don't know what shape. I don't know how. I have no idea because I'm not God. And I can't predict what's coming next, but I know this will turn out to be good. Those people will survive and they will be
Starting point is 01:41:37 happy. Those who look at it and like everything's horrible and I can't do anything and we just need help. Those people will destroy themselves and any opportunity to get out. Very true. Let me give you this last paragraph here. Professor Conneman signaled concern that he did not end his, if he did not end his life when he was clearly mentally competent, he could lose control over the remainder of it and live and die with needless miseries and indignities. One lesson to learn from his death is that if we are to live well to the end, we need to be able to freely discuss when a life is complete without shame or taboo. Such a discussion may help people to know what they really want.
Starting point is 01:42:25 We may regret their decisions, but we should respect their choices and allow them to end their lives with dignity. Okay, I know you told me there's a surprise coming on this. So hang on. Just give me one minute. We'll come back. You have a career, a family, a mortgage, maybe even a preferred grocery store.
Starting point is 01:42:43 You're an adult. You make good choices, except for your cell phone plan.

Starting point is 01:44:06 So I printed this story out so we could talk about it on the air. And I didn't notice this detail until I printed it out, which was the author of the story, one of the two authors. A name from the paper. past, Glenn. Peter Singer. Oh my God. Is that guy still alive? He's still alive. Has he thought about shortening his life? Yes, a lot, apparently. He has not taken that path quite yet. Peter Singer, a name that you may remember, we've talked about him a hundred million times going back many years. A hundred million years. Yeah. If you're a long term listener, you'll remember his name. He was the guy who advocated for a period of 28 days after birth.
Starting point is 01:44:47 to be able to abort your child. And he did apologize for that. He did. He said that wasn't long enough. It should have up to two years. He said, until a child can realize that there is a tomorrow, they're not really a human. Right. And so until they say to you, what are we going to do tomorrow?
Starting point is 01:45:05 You can kill them. That's honestly. And by the way, he was a professor of ethics. Maybe he still is chair of ethics at Princeton University. Yeah, not just some guy. No, Princeton University. Mm-hmm. And you can kill your child.
Starting point is 01:45:17 until they say, what are we going to do tomorrow, Dad? He said killing a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person. Now, that might indicate that he thinks that a newborn baby is not a person, which is basically what he's saying. Well, he's also saying it at the end, you're not really a person. Once you decide you're not a person, you're not a person. And this is deep into left-wing thought here. These are prominent people who are discussing.
Starting point is 01:45:44 And by the way, some of them acting on this. this way of thinking about life, which is, it's really not much of value. Here's the scariest thing. They're the people also that are advising the biggest minds behind things like AI. Yeah. And what these people talking to AI and setting the priorities of AI and telling it what's, what is life? I mean, this is, these, we're living in a hellscape. We really are. We're living in a coming hellscape if we don't wake up pretty soon. And we do, and, this president doesn't win and we don't finish the transition.
Starting point is 01:46:21 We don't seal this this cave of darkness back off. You know, we did that in 1945. It needs to be sealed off again. We let it survive because we said it was our ally and we let it survive and go into China and Russia. And we let him kill millions of people there. And we still play footsie with it. And that's why that cave opened back up.
Starting point is 01:46:46 and all that darkness is spilled back into our culture and we got to push it back. This is your purpose. Pushing back on darkness so the light can prevail because darkness is, it's alive and it is pushing hard. And we have to be stronger. Look, we win. All you have to do is turn on the light and that dispels darkness. Have you even found your light yet? Turn it on.
Starting point is 01:47:15 push the darkness back where it belongs. This is Glenn Beck. We talked to Tim Kennedy today, and it was pretty amazing what he talked about in the Pentagon, how they're looking at things that are coming our way in the next year or so, in the genocide that is coming in much of the world.
Starting point is 01:47:38 The world's on fire. It always is. There's always a war somewhere, food shortage, refugee crisis, collapsing government, constant hum of human history. One place stabilizes, another place, falls apart. It's always this way. But you know who always seems to be in the crosshairs, the Jewish people? From Babylon to Rome, the Inquisition to the Holocaust, even now, in our modern tolerant world, they're still targeted, still blame, still attacked. Why? Because evil knows what
Starting point is 01:48:05 God loves. The enemy always goes after what's precious to him, and he says it, these are my people. So what are we going to do? Do we going to stand here neutral? Are we going to find blessings by blessing the people that he has pointed out and said, these are my people. And anybody who blesses them, I will bless. I don't know. I need some extra blessings. That's why I would like to, I support, and I would like to invite you to support IFCJ.org. It's support IFCJ.org. It is a fellowship of Christians and Jews that helps the Jewish people in Israel.

All you need, glenbeck.com. So let me ask you a question. Katie Vance. Vice president. He goes over to Rome. He meets with the Pope.
Starting point is 01:49:12 Next thing you know, Pope's dead. I'm just asking. I'm just here asking questions. Are you everyone in the left now? Is that who you are? Because that's what they were doing the whole time. Yeah, he poisoned him. He poisoned him.
Starting point is 01:49:23 He wanted to target a very, very, very old and sick man. He's like, no, I can get away with this murder. Nobody will ever suspect. No one will see it coming. No, one will see it coming. I'm a good Catholic. I'm over here. You know, hey, praying for the Pope.
Starting point is 01:49:38 Then I off him. Yeah, that's what happened. That's what happened. Or not. Or not. Those are the two options. Well, I'm not sure which way the New York Times would lean. But I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 01:49:50 I'm pretty sure. So today, the last day for people, to, you know, go by and see the Pope laying in state in the, uh, in the Vatican. I'm going on vacation. Stu is also going on vacation. I would be gone for about 10 days. And, uh, I'm supposed to go to, uh, where am I going, Stu? Uh, Branson. No, I'm going to, uh, Italy, Rome, Italy, uh, but, the, the, the Turin, I'm going to see the shroud of Turin. Oh, oh, yeah, me too. I have the same vacation plan. Maybe I'll just have a bump into you all. Yeah. So I, you know, I've wanted to see it since I was a kid.
Starting point is 01:50:26 Went to a hotel. You know, been talking to some of the experts that have been going over it and everything else. And they're all meeting over in Turin next week. And they were getting a private viewing. They invited me to come for viewing for like a hundred people. And they're not even sure they're going to show it ever again. Because every time they show it, something happens.
Starting point is 01:50:43 I swear to you, it wasn't me that spilled the coke on it. But that stain? No, no, there's not a, Jesus. Anyway, the, uh, something, always happens to it. And so, you know, I was lucky enough to be invited, Tanya and I, we're going to go see it. And now the Pope dies. And it doesn't belong to the Catholic Church. It was actually a gift, I don't know, 1,400 years ago to the Pope. And so it's owned by the Pope. And now that the Pope is dead, it's kind of like nobody really owns it so nobody can say. And so now we're
Starting point is 01:51:15 going over there. And, you know, you won't know until the day of. And we'll see what happens. So I don't know if I get to see it or not, but, you know, just crush a boy's dreams. That's it. No big deal, you know. I hope to spend some time by the pool. Really? On my vacation, yeah. Yeah. No, no shrouds. Well, now that the shroud is not, you know, now I want to say, I'm not going to say this to my wife. Well, I guess I am because she listens to the show. But now it's kind of like, I don't know, do you want to even go? And she's going to be like, yes, I want to go. And I'll be like, I don't, I mean, it's going to be a hassle going over. And then you're with foreigners. you really want to be surrounded by foreigners, you know, what I mean? And to be clear, she listens to the show, but she does have a good way of kind of filtering your voice out.
Starting point is 01:52:01 She does. She is really good at that. She's really good at that. She's very good at that. That's quite a skill. Yeah. There is a new development in the, we were talking a little bit off here recently about the courts and what the president needs to do to, because there's a real battle going on with the courts. I have an open letter I'm going to publish here in just a little while for the president of, you know,
Starting point is 01:52:23 it's time he takes actions against the court, you know, constitutional actions against the court. He needs to stop this. Well, yeah, because some people are saying now this is a constitutional crisis based on, no, I'm serious. It's what the left is saying about this. Mike Lee is saying that too. Mike Lee says this is judicial. They're good with both sides are saying. I know.
Starting point is 01:52:40 He's saying, well, they're saying opposite directions. Mike Lee is saying this is judicial insurrection. Mike Lee doesn't use that language. I don't know if you know Mike Lee. He's like, well, I don't know. That seems like that could be a little harsh. You said the guy was a weener. I know, and I regret that.
Starting point is 01:52:58 I mean, you know, he doesn't use this kind of language. For him to say judicial insurrection is big. Yeah, no, it is. And he knows the courts and he knows the Constitution really well. Yeah. The story is today. This is coming sort of from Cash Patel. And I put an asterisk on that.
Starting point is 01:53:13 But it says federal agents on Friday arrested, a judge in Wisconsin on obstruction charges after she allegedly helped an undocumented immigrant evade arrest. That's according to Cash Patel, sort of. And the reason I say sort of is because Patel made the announcement in an ex post, which was then quickly deleted. So it's a little bit, it's a little bit murky here. But the FBI did not immediately respond to request to CNBC for comment on why the post was removed. Patel wrote that the FBI believes at Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Hannah Duggan was intentionally misdirecting federal agents away from Eduardo Flores Ruiz as agents were attempting to arrest him at her courthouse last week. Thankfully, our agents chased down the perp on foot.
Starting point is 01:53:59 He's been in custody since, but the judge's obstruction created increased danger to the public, Patel said in the post. She needs to be arrested. She needs to be arrested, just like everybody else. You know, did you see that the New Mexico judge and his wife arrested? Did you hear about this? Yeah. These guys? So a judge and his wife, they, I don't know, see at Home Depot or something.
Starting point is 01:54:23 Some guy who is, you know, looking for a job and they say, hey, you're great. Why don't you come over and help us work on our house and you can stay at our house? They put him up. He's an illegal gang member. I think he's MS-13. And they know it. And he's living at the house. house and they're like, oh, no, nothing's going on here.
Starting point is 01:54:42 Well, turn over the gang member. What gang member? What are you talking about? These guys are going to jail, and they should. That's a judge and his wife harboring a fugitive. They should go to jail. Yeah, you're not supposed to do that. And judges, my understanding, and the left has told me this over and over again,
Starting point is 01:54:58 that no one is above the law. So my understanding of judges would fit into that. If they broke the law, they deserve to be prosecuted. And that's the thing. You know, people say, they're going to throw their people in it. I don't want people thrown in jail just to throw it in jail. I want justice to be served. I want them to have fair representation.
Starting point is 01:55:16 I want the truth mattering. You know, I want the truth told. You have to provide, you know, witnesses and evidence. But if you're found guilty by a jury of your peers, not one of your cozy buddy judges, you go to jail, period. I'm so sick and tired of us having to do everything and we'll go to jail. I'm sick and tired of paying my taxes. I really am. I'm sick and tired of paying my taxes. I pay my taxes. I live within the rules. I don't cheat. I don't steal. I don't do any of that stuff. And neither does probably 99.9% of everybody listening. I sure there's a Democrat in here someplace. Everybody who's listening, you play by the rules every day. Every day you play by the rules. You pay your student loan. You didn't go to college. I didn't go to college because I couldn't afford to go to college. I knew I was raised at a time where you have.
Starting point is 01:56:08 had to earn it. You didn't take out loans. You weren't going to repay. You earned it. You worked hard. So I went one semester. One semester. That's all I could afford. I couldn't afford anymore. I stopped going. Okay. I pay my bills. I play by the rules. And everybody else who doesn't play, do you see that Stacey Abrams is actually thinking about running for governor again? Yes. She just got $2 billion given by the Biden administration of our tax dollars to her little sham of an operation. I don't know what she does. I don't know what it was supposed to do. But you can't tell me something that raised what, $100, $100,000?
Starting point is 01:56:49 How much was like $100? It was $100. It raised $100. $200. But it was nowhere near $100,000. Yeah. Okay. So let's just be kind.
Starting point is 01:56:57 Let's say raised $10,000. I think it was in the hundreds. $10,000. on her own. Then all of a sudden gets a grant from the government of $2 billion. Happens all the time. All the time. How can I would be walked out of this building in handcuffs if that would have happened at Mercury 1. And I should be. If that happened, everybody who was involved in it should go to jail. She's thinking about running again. I'm sick of it. I'm just sick of it. Now, take what you just said, that frustration. I'm sick of it. I pay my taxes. Nothing's ever fair. you know, etc. Life isn't fair.
Starting point is 01:57:35 I'm not looking for fair. I'm just looking for... I'm summarizing. You know what I'm saying. Get off my back. My point is not to attack you on that point. I think it's a point that tons of people are feeling probably also on the left, but definitely on the right.
Starting point is 01:57:50 Are you concerned at all about the outcome of that feeling? Oh my gosh. Yes. I will say, yes. While I agree that you should do what you can in the Constitution, within the Constitution to hold people responsible for their actions. Totally agree there. And I feel like we all agree on that.
Starting point is 01:58:10 There is, I do believe, a little bit of an appetite brewing, which is more like, screw what the Constitution says. We need to. And if we keep listening to the Constitution, we're going to continue to lose. We've tried that before. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Can you just abandon the Constitution? No, you cannot.
Starting point is 01:58:30 You cannot. We must not. We will become everything we despise. We will become petty little dictators. We will become a horrid nightmare of a nation if we abandon the Constitution. I can't tell you how many times I and the president use the word Constitution in our conversations this week. So what are the constitutional remedies, Mr. President? What can you do constitutionally?
Starting point is 01:58:58 The minute you get off the Constitution, it's over. It's over. We cannot. We lose everything if we get off the Constitution. And anybody who says, well, we'll just get off. You never go back. You never go back. You know how you give the government a little bit of leeway?
Starting point is 01:59:15 And you're like, yeah, just give them a little bit more power. And they never get it back. And they just keep hogging more and more. They never give it back. If you say, well, just this time, we're not going to use the Constitution. You'll never get it back. Never. And we cannot be part of that.
Starting point is 01:59:29 And we cannot be, you know, this is the really scary thing. People feel they have done their job. 70% of the American people agree with Donald Trump on the deporting of illegals. 70%. What happens, you're seeing this in Europe, what happens when the elites force their way down the throats of the people and say, no. in this republic, 70% are saying, send them home. Send them home now. And you have the left, which is just cratering in popularity.
Starting point is 02:00:10 You have the left cratering. You have the elite media making this whole thing. What? Who story are they telling? The deep state? The deep, deep left? The anti-American people? The, what, MS-13?
Starting point is 02:00:24 Who? Who are you? What? whose side are you on here? And when 70% of the American people feel they've done the right thing, they played by the rules, they went to the polls, they expressed their point of view, they went and they'll talk to a stupid pollster now and still say, I'm for that, and that number is still 70%. If you don't listen to the people, you're in trouble.
Starting point is 02:00:51 And in this nation, hopefully that means. that Donald Trump wins more in the midterms. But I don't know. But if the Republicans, the Democrats, the media, and everybody else doesn't start listening to the people, it will end the way it always ends, and that is really bad and I don't recommend it. Humble yourself and start listening to the people. Back in just a second. Your body is fearfully and wonderfully made, designed by the creator of the universe, and it's a masterwork of muscles and nerves and just engineering beyond anybody's imagination. You have cells that know how to heal, bones that can rebuild themselves, a heart that beats over 100,000 times a day without even thinking about it.
Starting point is 02:01:45 And yet somehow, you twist the wrong way and reach for a sock, and suddenly your back starts negotiating for early retirement. This is where relief factor comes in. It is a daily supplement, 100% drug-free, designed to fight inflammation, which is the root and the cause of a lot of that pain. I take it. It works for me. And if you're tired of grunting every time you get off the couch, it might just be time to try something different. Don't mask the pain. Get rid of the pain. Feel the difference when you give relief factor a chance. Maybe you'll stand up without sounding like a squeaky door for once. It's 1995. Try relief factors three-week quick start kit. That's less than a dollar a day. 1995 1-800-4 relief 1-800 the number four relief relief factor.com this is glenbeck welcome to the glenbeck program i want to play marco rubio on the ukraine
Starting point is 02:02:56 russia war listen to this from the oval marco what would you say well first of all the what was put before our partners was options to discuss about things that it would take to end a war this war is endable both sides us have to agree to it we've shown them a pathway forward we've discussed those ideas there was a good meeting yesterday there'll be good meetings over the weekend we've shown them the finish line we need both of them to say yes but what happened last night with those missile strikes should remind everybody of why this war needs to end it's horrible those missiles landed what's even worse is there are today people that were alive yesterday that are not alive today because this war continues and the president wants to stop it and everyone should be thanking
Starting point is 02:03:32 the president for being a peacemaker and trying to save lives that's what we're trying to do here it's not our war we didn't start it as you know it's but we're trying to end the dying we're trying to end the destruction. And we've shown the path forward. We can see the finish line, but both of them have to get there. We're going to do everything we can to help them get there, but they have to ultimately say yes.
