The Glenn Beck Program - How to Talk to Your Elon-Hating Friends | Guest: Sen. Ron Johnson | 4/1/25

Episode Date: April 1, 2025

California is expanding its FAIR plan insurance limits to guarantee even more insurance payouts due to the devastating wildfires. While this sounds good, is it sustainable? Glenn lays out the main issue with insurance companies and explains what needs to change. Glenn discusses the weird story of Virginia Giuffre, an alleged Epstein trafficking victim who claimed to have been abused by Prince Andrew. Giuffre posted a video claiming she had been hit by a bus and now only has four days to live due to kidney failure. Glenn uses critical thinking to analyze the holes in this story that make him question. Glenn discusses the Left’s sudden shift on Elon Musk once he began defending free speech. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) joins to discuss the critical state supreme court election happening in Wisconsin, which could devastate the rest of the country if the Left wins. Glenn gives three principles for how Americans can get back on the right track. For those who believe that climate change is an existential threat, is burning down Teslas helping the issue?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Do we need a show every day? No. If we just skip today. I'm with you on that. No, here's the thing. I saw the news of the day just the opposite. I can't wait to tell you what I'm thinking because every story I read today is like, can we just think about this for a second?

Can we just use some critical thinking? Ask a few questions. Tell a few stories if we have to to make sure you understand. And I'm going to start with the, what's his name, Chuck Mangione, Bill that is happening in California. Not Chuck, though. I also don't want to say his name. So I'm happy with Chuck. So, this new bill in California where, hey, insurance companies, you got to pay out.

You got to pay out. Okay. All right. Okay, that might sound good. But see, it's all in the balance here. Otherwise, it's California, you're not going to have any insurance. And I'll explain, and because you're in California, talk like this, man. All right?

You like, like, like insurance. We talk about it next. First, let me tell you about rough. If you're the type of person who's, you know, good at it, you spend a lot of time taking care of the ones you love. That includes your dog, who is, let's face it, basically another member of the family. That's why I want to tell you about rough greens. There is something missing between what your dog eats and what his body needs. And I'm talking about vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, all the stuff that make him happier and healthier.

All of those things are in rough greens. It's not a dog food. It's a supplement. And you sprinkle it on top of the food. I did it with my dog, Uno, just to try it and see it. see what the hype was all about. I just wanted him to eat, honestly. You know, change his life for the better. Yeah, yeah, sure.

I'm sure that will happen. I just want him to eat. Well, not only does he eat, he literally runs to his bowl still, and he's not doing well. He runs to his bowl. He loves to eat, and I think it gave him a longer life and a better life. It's roughgreens.com. Get the free jumpstart trial bag right now. Just use the promo code Beck, RUFFFGreens.com.

see if this was an April Fool's joke, but it's not. They're passing a new bill now where insurance companies have got to pay out if you put a claim in. Okay. All right. Good. And they can't wait. They can't hold you back.

They can't hold back. They can't hold back. They can't hold back. Okay. Good. That's what you might be thinking. Good. And it is good.

If you're really sick and you need something, that's good. But have you seen the scams that are happening? in our country right now? Not everybody. Now, I say that and I have to say at the same time. Have you seen the insurance companies lately? Some of them just like to screw you to the wall. So what is the answer? Well, let me tell you the tale of two stories. One is how a lot of people see the insurance company. They imagine the insurance company as a giant, grumpy dragon that is sitting on a pile of gold. Just waiting there, I'm a dread. We're going to have the, I'm a dragon. I like gold. I'm not going to let anybody have my gold.

Okay, and you're the brave, you're the brave knight. Why won't this go away? You're the brave knight. I thought of the rest of the day I'm going to be doing the show in a cave. You're the brave knight who's been paying this dragon monthly, a tribute every month. And the dragon said, you know, I'm going to take care of you. Mm-hmm. And then when a disaster happens, you go to the dragon and he's supposed to swoop in and save you with all of the gold.

sounds like a great deal, right? But here's the catch. Dragons like gold. So when you come running and screaming, hey, I need help, my house is burned down. The dragon's like, yeah, I set it on fire. Of course, I'm fire-breathing dragon. I set it on fire, and I'm not going to pay for anything either.

Is the dragon the only one in the cave? He's the only one in the cave. And I don't know why he can fly. You're outside the cave. I don't know why he can fly to the guy and still be in the cave, but he's a big dragon. Okay, big dragon. Okay, got right.

So he's like, I'm not really sure that that was actually a fire. Well, I'm not sure that was a fire. Did you fill out form 37B in triplicate? And I'm going to need six weeks to think about it while I sit on my pile of gold. That's the way most people think of insurance companies that they're sitting on a pile of gold and they're never going to help you. And they just have you file out all kinds of forms. Now, part of that is true with some insurance companies. some insurance companies suck.

Others don't. Should they suck? No. Are we going to cure this by saying, everybody has to be paid and immediately and we can't stall or anything at all? No, that's not going to solve it. It's going to make it worse.

Now here's the way I look at an insurance company. Imagine insurance company as a massive neighborhood potluck where everybody in the community has to bring a dish. That's their premium. You come on in, you've got to bring a dish. And I prefer if you're really, really fat because you like to eat, you bring a bigger dish, okay? But everybody brings a dish.

And the head chef, let's call her Carla. Hey, I'm Carla back here just managing the potluck. That's all I'm doing. Everybody comes in and has to contribute something. And maybe you bring a $10,000 casserole. I don't know, because you've got a bigger house in your, I don't know, super, super fat. Okay. Somebody else brings a $5,000 salad, which I would never ever.

What's a $5,000 salad? What, I mean, how could it possibly be that much? I would question the salad and I wouldn't eat it anyway. But I'd say to myself, it's $5,000. It's got to be a good salad. But then I'd realize it's a salad. Anyway, let's not focus on the salad here. The idea is that everybody brings something in and puts it at the table.

And if your house burns down, like in a California wildfire, or you need surgery after breathing in too much smoke, you can take a big helping from the potluck table to cover all the costs. That's the way insurance is supposed to work. With the idea that not everyone is going to need a plate at the table that big at the same time. Because if everybody says, I need that too. I want to eat like the fat, fat fatty over there. and they don't need to eat like the fat, fat, fatty, then what happens? Nobody has food. Eventually, you run out of food.

Carla is a little smoked, all right? I'm just sitting here back here smoking cool cigarettes. What the hell? How am I supposed to feed all these people? She has to have enough food on the table for everybody who needs it. But she also knows she's got to run the potluck next week too. So if you let everybody take everything that they want, whenever they want, the table will be empty in about an hour. There's nothing left for the disaster.

Carla has to be a little stingy. I know your house burned down, but I need to make sure that your house actually did burn down before I give you some more mashed potatoes. Let me just check on that first. She's not trying to rip you off. If she's with a good insurance company, she's making sure the potluck just doesn't turn into a free-for-all where the table gets. It's cleared out and the whole system collapses. Now let's bring in Luigi. Hey, it's me Luigi.

I love shooting people in the head on the street. Okay. Anytime you have a ballot measure where you're making that guy, the good guy, your state has a problem. So it's not a new potluck rule here. Carly, you can't make wait. I mean, anybody wait for their plate for the insurance or the food. You can't.

You can't say no to any. who's hungry. Okay, well, I've got a hundred people right here, and they're all telling me they're hungry, and they're all telling me it's an emergency, and I know some of them are going to take some of that food and put it into a purse and hold it for later, and that's not what this is about. I got to feed the people who are hungry, but if I have to serve everybody right away, no questions else, okay, then I run out of food. And guess what? Then I don't have any food for anybody. Carla's not wrong. She's been running. She's been running the the numbers. It's actually bad sous chef. He's an actuary named Dave. He's got a spreadsheet.

Anyway, he's looking at it. Dave says, you know, after the 2018 campfire, I mean, we served up $12 billion worth of plates to victims. We can't do this anymore because we only had that much because 70% of the folks at the potluck didn't need a plate that year. They brought their own casseroles and salads, but their house didn't burn down. They didn't, they didn't, they didn't come starving at the table. If everybody is starving at the table and they all come in to cash it, we're not going to have enough food. That's what insurance companies are.

And California just doesn't seem to understand this. Insurance is almost a casino. The way bad insurance runs, they run it like a casino where the house always wins. No matter what, you're like, Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, I won. And it's like, nope, sorry. Sorry you didn't win. Glitching the machine. Somebody make this guy go away.

That's the way bad insurance run. But insurance, it's not a guarantee. It's a bet that this company is taking on you. That's why, you know, back in the old timey days when, you know, we were sailing across the sea and. I don't know, there were mermaids and sea monsters that would take down the ships. Back, I'm talking the old, old-timey days, you know, back in like the 1940s. And you had to have insurance for your ships. And there were these, you know, English guys who were like, well, this is my ship.

And I'll guarantee that ship. And it's got some tea on it and maybe some snuff, lots of snuff on it. Somebody had to underwrite that in case the ship went down. So the snuff people didn't go out of business. so the T people didn't go out of business. But if all the ships claim to have gone down, the guy who's underwriting all of the insurance doesn't have any more money left.

So then nobody gets any money. It's a bet. The problem is our government has made insurance so deeply in bed with the government. And then you have these politicians who, let's be honest, are only attorneys. That's all they are.

They're attorney. Have you ever liked an attorney? Honestly, have you ever, except for on TV? Maybe you liked an attorney on TV. But you don't like attorneys. You might like them until you find out they're an attorney. He's a really good guy. Then I found out he was an attorney.

But nobody wants to hang out with attorney. Nobody wants to work for a company run by attorneys. I don't even think attorney firms want to work for attorney firms because they're all run by attorneys. They don't know how to do anything except say no. Oh, gosh, that's what our states are like. They're all run by attorneys. And these attorneys think they can craft some legalese that will make everything right.

You can't. If our society is rotten to the core, then our businesses are going to be rotten to the core. And no amount of fancy $500 attorney words are going to fix that. everything we have in our society is built on trust. You know why the insurance company is going out of business? Because it can't trust that there aren't people bilking the system. You know why you don't have, why you get really upset when your mother is sick and you can't get the insurance that was promised to you? Because you have insurance companies that are bilking the system.

Everybody has to play fair. but California, are you really this stupid? You just, what was it? Like 40% of the people whose house burned down was because they didn't have insurance because these evil insurance companies canceled because you can't control the fires. Every year everybody's house seems to burn down

or slide into the ocean from mud. You can't, the insurance companies can't afford it. And you won't let them raise the rate. So they just like, okay, well then I'm not doing business here. What do you think's going to happen on this? Now, some of this might be needed. I don't know. I'm not from California. Don't care to be from California. Don't read that much about California because they're all insane. But what do you think's going to happen with this? Here's what's going to happen. They're going to raise the rates. And then you're going to say,

you can't raise the rates. And then when you force them to make sure that everybody gets coverage and you can't ask any questions. And so fraud goes through the roof, then what will happen is they'll go out of business or they'll say we're going to go out of business because California is telling us we can't raise the rates. So we're going to get out. And then you know what those attorneys will do? You can't leave California. You can't leave. And then what happens? I don't know how this story ends. We should look into Carl Marx. I bet he has a good ending for that story. Let me tell you about preborn. Hase you still might be on the fence whether Joe Biden was a guy that was a good president or not. Here's a little fun fact for you.

His administration loosened all kinds of restrictions on the chemical abortion pill. Didn't require the NIH to report the injuries it was causing to the women who took it. And now, to this day, this little pill is bringing death to babies and injury and death to moms. And some of them are teenagers. Preborn is about changing the hearts and minds of people. When it comes to the abortion issue, you're never going to outlaw it. You never. We have to change hearts.

by showing an unexpected or an expecting mother a free ultrasound of her unborn child, she sees the unexpected. And that is, wow, it's not just a lump of flesh. It's actually a child. And that increases the chances dramatically that she's going to choose life for that baby. They're doing God's worth or work on earth every single day, and they need your help because most women are choosing abortion because they just don't think they can afford the baby. They have no help or support at home.

and that's why Pre-Borne is there for up to two years after the baby is born, and I've seen them change lives. One ultrasound is $28.140.40 helps rescue five babies. You're not going to regret the choice to save lives. Please, dial pound 250, say the keyword baby. That's pound 250. Say the keyword baby and make a donation, or visit preborn.com slash Beck.

Sponsored by Preborn. 10 seconds, station idea. It was a complicated analogy, and I love it. lot of that was right purely shooting out of my butt. So did that make sense? Was that, I get that right? I think so. But yes, it was a journey. I will say. That's not a good review. It was like, uh, I wouldn't eat at that restaurant with, it was a journey. It was like the last season of Game of Thrones. I was a little, I was a little confused. But you got us there, I think, at the end. All right. Okay. All right. Um, am I reading this wrong or what's happening

at California? No, I think you're right. I mean, it's shocking. Shocking. They just don't get it. And I'm really disgusted by the hero worship of this loser. It's really revolting. I don't even want to say his name, but they're really making him, on the left, he's just a celebrity in a lot of circles. He's just this, like, great guy who did this great thing. He just murdered a dad on the side of the, as he's walking on the sidewalk. It's murdered a father. So let me just ask, because the whole show today is just, can we think these things through? Can we just, I just. Critical thinking. Critical thinking. We just have to ask some questions. So let me just ask you some questions. When did it become okay just to gun somebody down on the street because you feel they, and when I say they, I don't mean them, that individual.

But somebody they work with, some industry they are in, somebody they represent, that it's okay to kill them. I mean, it's certainly not, Glenn. I mean, and in a pathetic, way, and I don't mean this with any like direct line for this being true. But like, when it happened, there was this thought that I think it went through everybody's mind, which was like,

this kid's dad was denied a claim by this company and this CEO had some hand in it. It wasn't even close to that. It was this like really poorly thought out generalized awful liberal critique of health care industry.

And it was like he even said in his manifesto, I'm not the best guy to explain it because I don't really understand it. But this is terrible. Yeah. Like I'm sorry, if you're not the best guy to understand it, maybe you don't murder people on the side of the road. Like, would it be okay for me after that explanation of insurance to go murder somebody in the street?

No. Maybe, maybe, well, it would be me. I was going to say maybe the person would help write that analogy, but that would be me. So would it be okay for me to kill. my... I'm confused. I'm confused again. You're deep into another analogy. I will say you've talked so much about AI. Run it through AI, please. Next time you're running a manifesto, can you put it through chat GPT? Let Grock have a shot at it. So at least it makes some freaking sense. At least it looks like you've thought about this after taking a man's life. You know,

there are going to be times where people, let's say, let's say truckers go on strike. And that makes the price of your eggs go up. And everything else, goes up. Okay, let's just say. Yeah, that happens. And your family is really struggling and you are barely making it. Um, and you know, you lost your house because you couldn't afford food and the house. You had to buy the food for the family so you lost your house. Would that make it okay to go up to some random trucker and shoot them in the head? No. Right. That's what we're talking about here. And I don't understand when did that become okay for half the nation. When did that become okay, so okay, that one of the 50 states can introduce a bill where that guy is referenced in a positive way?

I mean, that's going to be the theme of the show. How do we even talk to each other? Honestly, how do we talk to each other? I'm going to show you how we can talk to each other, hopefully on a few issues today. just stick around if we've got a lot more and most of it will be understandable coming up this is Glenn Beck all right I want to talk to you about the international fellowship of Christians and Jews if you're like me you're a firm supporter of the Jews in the state of Israel and most of the time that manifests in the way you say the way you say it in the way you and how you pray

but if I told you that there was a way to stand up for Israel with real tangible action on top of the things that you say and the things that you pray, would you do it? It's one thing to stand up against the rise of anti-Semitism, both in our country and around the world, ever since the heinous acts of October 7th over a year ago. And that's incredibly important to stand up and say it. But also our spiritual brothers and sisters over the Middle East still face significant security threats every single day from their enemies. And that's true all over the world now.

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground. in Israel, and they know this better than anyone else, and they need your help. They're providing Israelis with life-saving security essentials, things like bomb shelters, armored security vehicles, ambulances, firefighting equipment, flack jackets, bulletproof vest.

slash Glenn. It's blazTV.com slash Glenn. All right. I want to talk to you about can we just talk about common sense today? Just common sense and critical thinking. I think that's the problem with our nation. Nobody understands critical thinking. So let's take one story here.

And this is the woman who got hit by the bus Virginia. How do you say her last name? Jifre. Jafre. Okay. She's the one that was in the picture with Jeffrey Epstein at, I don't know, the island or someplace with Prince Andrew. Okay. And I believe she's a victim. I don't have anything to back that up other than I believe, I believe Prince Andrew is an absolute dirt bag. And I believe, you know, that Jeffrey Epstein, was also a major dirtbag. And so why was this young girl with Prince Andrew with his arm around her, you know, standing in somebody's house? I mean, it just, I don't, I'm sorry.

Okay. But that's me making a judgment. That's not legal. That's just me making a judgment. Okay. So the story came out yesterday and it is everywhere now. And everybody is like, you know, the FBI is trying to kill her so she can't make it to the testimony. What?

I knew Jeffrey Epstein wasn't dead. He's driving a bus in Perth, Australia. He's what? What? You don't buy that? No, I strangely, I don't. It would be an interesting twist to the story. It really would.

Now, she apparently has four days to live. From what date? What is the, okay, let me just. Yeah, yeah. That's a weird part. I agree. Okay, let me just give you some questions. And this does not mean that she's not telling the truth.

that she's not got four days to live or two days at this point. I don't know how many days she has. It doesn't mean that I don't believe the story. It just means can we just stop and ask some critical questions? And I'm going to do this to every story today. Okay. The article mentions Lady Victoria Hervey as the source of the claim that she only has four days to live. Now, I don't know Lady Victoria Hervey.

Do you? I know Irvay Villages, the little, the plane from Fantasy Island. I don't know who this woman is. So who is she? What's her relationship to this woman? Does she have a history of reliable reporting? Does she have any bias? She's a lady. Does she have a problem with Prince Andrew?

I don't know. But that's the first question we should ask is, who is this woman that's claiming all of this stuff? then the next question is, are there any primary sources of the accident claim? Well, no, no, uh-uh. Her spokesperson, they said, you know, that she's in the hospital. Okay. Can we get some independent verification of any of this? I believe she's in the hospital.

I believe she's sick. Don't get me wrong. But what happened? Why is there a lack of official evidence? or statements from any authorities. The article notes that as of March 31st, 2025, there is no official evidence or statement from authorities. Well, wait.

Okay. What could explain that? And does that have an impact at all on you believing this story or not? What specific details are missing about the accident? And why might they not be available? The exact date, the location, the official police report, they're not there. They're not, it's not been released. What?

Now, is this due to a lack of paper? Maybe they're run out of ones and zeros to write up a report in Perth? I don't know what the situation is in Perth. I mean, it could be bad. Is there no media access? and how is how the description of the accident? How plausible is it? They claim that she was hit by a school bus traveling at 110 kilometers at 70 miles an hour.

Okay. I could see that happening, but I think the big story there would also be in Perth. There was an out-of-control school bus going 70 miles an hour. Were there kids on board? What happened there? You know, it should do some. injuries, not just with a person they hit, but they say that she had severe injuries like kidney and renal failure. Okay, that seems like it could happen at 70 miles an hour. You're hit by a bus,

but is it, is 70 miles an hour realistic for a school bus in a residential area? And really, I mean, okay, I guess maybe four days to live. They can't keep you, you can't keep your kidneys going for more than four days. I don't know what else is wrong. She, looks bad. I've seen the post of her. She looks bad. But do we believe this? Do we just go on and start making accusations one way or another? See, this is why when they don't release the information about Jeffrey Epstein and they say that he hung himself with a paper sheet, this is what happens. This is what happens. People don't believe anybody. And so then they start. I mean, this is the disturbing part of this story to me is,

see, the FBI's trying to kill her. Or she can testify on anybody else. They want her dead. Wait, wait. Now we're on to Cash Patel once her dead. Now, I can't explain why Cash Patel and why Pam Bondi have not released this, but I don't think I'm on the train yet of Cash Patel is driving a school bus in Perth. I don't I don't see that as a logical place

Seems busy Too busy to have a second job For example especially that far away Is there is there anybody? Is there anybody with any narrative at all Any eyewitness accounts to any of this? The police did say that there was a minor crash that happened That's not a minor crash

Is it? I mean you can get banked up by a minor crash It doesn't mean you have four days 70 miles or 70 kilometers. Yeah. You know, that's not a minor crash with a school bus. No one knows what that speed that is. It could be three.

It could be three miles an hour. You're right. That's the problem. Until we find out that should be in the story, too. Why are they only using kilometers? Bring in some scientists. See, they can convert it or at least get close. No one knows.

Nobody knows. You're right. I do think, too, the four days thing is a weird one. Did you hear it anywhere that she has four days to live in a quote? maybe I missed it but like where I saw it was from the dad who said she has four days

well that four days until she leaves the hospital four days until what four days to live really I don't know I don't know I don't know this is this is the problem with anything Epstein I think any little shred of something

and people are so desperate looking for any truth here that they just jump on anything and it blows up. Now, it could be exactly as reported, although it's reported different ways in several different publications, so it's hard to know even what you're supposed to. So here's the thing.

We can't always answer all of the questions. We can't tell you what's true. Okay? On this one, no. We can't. We don't have any other facts on this one. But we can say, hang on, let's ask some critical questions.

And if you're not using critical thinking, if you're not asking questions, like, why are all these things left out? Why is this not? You can jump to a conspiracy theory if you want, but you might also want to just go, until I find these things out, I'm not going to go online and pass this off.

See, I told you space aliens were real. Maybe space aliens were driving the bus. I don't know. But because I don't know, I don't think I'm going to go on and dog pile on that right now. This is where our responsibly as human being kicks in.

We see things that we think are outrageous. And because they're outrageous and because the algorithms reward you for being outrageous, you just post it. I mean, I've done this myself. I'm not lecturing to you. I'm lecturing to myself as well. I've done this myself. I've seen things that I'm like, that's crazy.

Well, Glenn, did you stop and think maybe it's too crazy? Well, no. I mean, usually the things I think are too crazy actually end up happening. And that's another problem. And again, that's the problem with our media and our governments and our banks, our corporations, our churches in some cases. They're not telling you the truth. Well, that's just a conspiracy. What?

You didn't tell me the truth now or when you said ESG was a conspiracy? When were you telling me because I'm confused here? That's the way we like it. only critical thinking is going to get us out of this. And we have to do critical thinking on everything that we see. I mean, is, I don't, I don't know. Have you seen how people are cheering A for Tesla? We told you about that yesterday.

And how is anyone, did you see what Elon Musk and his venture capitalist friend found, he came in, volunteered for, you know, Social Security to try to clean it up? they don't strike me as deep conservatives. And they're on stage and they're explaining what happened to Social Security. And half the country is just say, they're liars. They're liars? Or even better. So what?

They gave that Social Security numbers and the benefits to people who just came here illegally. They're people too. Okay. All right. Okay. we're going to have to have a talk on that as well. Because there's a few stories that are exactly like that, that we have to step back.

I'm going to try next hour to teach you how to talk to your friends and your family that they don't understand. And you don't understand them. And you're like, I don't understand. I'm going to give you a couple of stories next hour. And I'm going to take you through the critical thing. Just the questions that you need to ask them. And you just need to play it out like this and just be open and honest.

Don't try to win. I just want to ask you some questions about this story. Because there are questions I've been asking myself on these stories. I just ask my question. I don't know where I stand on this story about, you know, the woman that I think Prince Andrew, you know, raped. I don't know. That's my opinion. But I can't tell you about the four days to live because I don't have enough information.

Do you know anybody who has said that to you on this story? Have you seen anyone online pass that story on and go, you know, I just don't have enough information to comment on this. No. No? No. Everyone has an opinion, even though we don't have any information. All right, back in just a second.

Guess they're more worried about the meaning of the word female than the word work. Glenn Beck, we'll be right back. So are you a yo-yo-diter? Are you a yo-yo-dieter? You are one of the people that kind of lose weight and then gain it all back, sometimes plus a few extra pounds. You know, some people actually, that happens to them.

And those people are loudly yelling, shut up. Then, of course, you could lose it again, maybe regain it up all back again. You get this cycle that kind of keeps going on. and on and on and on. Shut up! Now, I will say this. Most of the things we talk about in this program don't get too personal. Some do to particular hosts.

But believe it or not, dieting doesn't have to have to. This guy just will not shut up. Okay. It can be dangerous, though, Glenn. It can be lead to risk of heart attack or stroke or type two diabetes or can cause other health problems. I have to listen to you more up and praying for a stroke. This biography of Glenn Beck is brought to you by our friends at least. lean. You're going through all of this. You only have to, you know, you do all this cycle and you

only have to start over again. It's just awful. So how do you break that yo-yo diet situation? It is lean. Lean is a supplement, not an injection, and you don't need a prescription for it. Science behind lean is impressive. It's well-studied, and I think you're really going to enjoy it. Let me give you the details here on lean, where to get it. Go to takelean.com. The code is blaze 20.

And profite. Via Rai. The voice that we love that we're some common sense for you. Right here. that we're going to talk to you about Tesla. Also, the third term. Did you see what the New York Times said about Donald Trump in the third term thing?

I actually found this fascinating. You know, he's been like, you know, I could go for a third term. I don't know. Who knows? Maybe. Well, the Constitution says no. I know Steve Bannon says, you know, there's ways to do things. Yeah, there's lots of ways to do things if you don't care about the law.

You know. But anyway. do you see what they said. New York Times said they thought it was a possibility he was just saying this so he doesn't become a lame duck in the last two years.

Yeah. That's a really smart of them. That's very smart. No, you don't think so? I mean, it's an argument. It's an argument. Is it the argument? Is it the true thing?

Is it the thing we should be doing? Or is it a thing to say? That's what I feel like we're always in this world now. We found a thing to say. A thing, look, yes, I guess it would be a political advantage to him if people thought he was running for a third term and he didn't actually mean it. And, you know, because you're right, the lame, dunk thing is a problem for presidents. A great way to solve that, you know, I guess could be this. If you, then in addition to that, on the other side, the other track is that it's, you're right, not constitutional.

Well, and a problem. I mean, even the fake stuff they're trying to do with like, oh, well, we're. going to put him as secretary of state and then we're going to change the law to change the order of of succession and then we're going to have both the president and the vice president step down at the same time it's like what are we doing i would love the president i would love the president and john quincy adams did this and john quincy adams is the reason i believe we got rid of slavery it wasn't abraham lincoln john quincy adams because john adams was so against uh slavery he taught his sons to be against slavery and john quincy adams was

the president couldn't make the moves on slavery, knew it had to come from the House of Representatives. So he went and he served, not as the Speaker of the House, just as a representative. The President of the United States became a congressman that was up for re-election every two years. But he's the guy who actually changed, got Abraham Lincoln to be who he was when he stood up and was, you know, trying to keep the country together. It's an amazing story. I would love to see Donald Trump run for Congress and then be elected Speaker of the House. Oh, that would be fun. Oh, that would be fun.

It would be fun. Again, he doesn't even have to run for Congress to be Speaker of the House. That's right. That's right. It can be anybody. I mean, it's unlikely that that happens, but it could happen. You think he's going to lose? There's no way.

I mean, he'd pick a district. He would go and win for sure. Yeah. But still, I mean, he wouldn't even need to run. And I think the Republican Party would embrace it, honestly. I just, you know, again, we don't need to, he's doing, let him do his job. Yeah. I feel like this is just a, it is a distraction, and it might be a distraction on his part to the media, but still.

That's why I have some critical thinking coming your way on this and also the Tesla and the social security scams that we found out about yesterday. Coming up. This is Glenn Beck. You know, you never know what's going to happen. The future is completely open-ended. Every day you have to climb out of bed knowing that pretty much. anything could happen given that. Why wouldn't you do everything you can to make sure you're least prepared for the things that you see as possible? You know, there's things that are just, you know,

highly, highly unlikely, but so, such a bad impact, like, you know, fire insurance. You've got to have fire insurance, right? Because it's catastrophic if it happens, but it's unlikely to happen. Well, one thing that's not unlikely to happen is somebody in the family gets sick while you're on vacation. Now, let's increase the odds of not happening. Let's say it happens in the middle of the night. And you're in some place. You don't have a doctor there. You don't.

I was in my head was just spinning all night. thinking about stuff and I couldn't get I couldn't get a couple of stories out of my mind. First, the social security thing we're going to talk about that Elon Musk was in Wisconsin,

along with a buddy of his, a guy who volunteered, is a big CEO of a venture capitalist thing, and volunteered because he wants to clean up the government and all of the waste and the graft and everything else. And they made an announcement, we'll play for you, about social security. The other thing, Wisconsin has a big vote today. And this could mean the, the balance of the House, Republican Democrat. And we'll see. And we'll see what happens today. How many people are going to be out voting?

We're going to talk to Ron Johnson about it here in just a second. And the importance of it, if you happen to be in Wisconsin, probably a day to go out and vote. Not probably, definitely a day to go out and vote. Then I was also thinking about the protests again on Elon Musk. I just can't get past these things. Because these are global protests. And this is what kept me up.

These are global protests. These are demonstrators outside of Tesla showrooms. We've seen fires. We've seen people burning the cars and the lithium batteries. But we're seeing them all over the world. So can we just stop? Today's theme of the show is just can we think, ask some critically thinking questions. Can we do that?

Before we accept this story, let's ask some things. Is this what really kept me up last night? Can anybody tell me what these protesters are responding to? And I'm not talking here in America. I'm talking about in England, in Germany. Wherever a Tesla showroom is, people are protesting. I would just like to know what are the people in England protesting? What policy?

What decision? because Musk isn't pushing a global war. He's not erecting the tariffs. I mean, I would understand it if people in Europe were protesting on the tariffs because that would actually affect the average person. Okay? Here's what he's doing. He's helping lead a department focused on the United States federal budgeting and efficiency.

Why would anyone in charge? Germany or Sweden or Ireland care. Why? I mean, I looked last night. I tried to find, has there been anything like this in history? No, you can go to, you know, people protesting the nukes and war and everything, but not this. There's nothing where a domestic policy dispute has all of a sudden swept the globe. So why would they care about this so deeply?

Hmm. Getting out of NATO? Okay. Even if they were saying, you know, Greenland. America just wants to buy Greenland and they're out, you know, protesting. Okay, I could see that for some degree. But I can't see people in, I don't know, whatever city Greenland has or the people in Denmark, you know, rising up and saying, this policy that Elon Musk is doing in the United States trying to. make the government more efficient? That's just outrageous. Come on, Sven. Let's go out and burn a Tesla. Makes no sense. Have you ever seen a protest in foreign countries over a U.S. Cabinet appointment,

ever in your life, not over war, not over climate treaties, not over global trade, but over something that deals with cutting our budget that will not affect really anybody over sees. Yeah, it's unprecedented. It's never happened. So who benefits? That's the first question is, have you ever seen this before? Second, why would anybody in Europe care about this? Three, who benefits? Well, let's look at Tesla. This is the company that made electric cars mainstream. It jump started the global EV race. When everybody was saying, we've got to have electric cars. We're like, no hydrogen would be even better. Got to have electric cars. Well, they don't work. Here comes Elon Musk, and he starts Tesla. He not only develops solar panels, battery storage, charging infrastructure,

things environmentalists have been begging the world to adopt for decades. Okay, and then, wait, all of a sudden, the very people who claim climate change is the greatest, I'm quoting them, the greatest threat to humanity are now trying to cripple or even burn down the company doing the most to solve it. That doesn't make sense. Does that make sense to you? That's not activism. That's contradiction. It's a mental illness, really. That's what it is. It's a mental illness. If that makes sense to you, then you should see a doctor. If you believe in saving the planet, how does driving the number one force for clean energy or torching lithium-backer? batteries help you at all? How does boycotting EVs help you? Terrorizing people that bought

Tesla EVs? How does that help you? How does trying to destroy the most innovative, clean energy company in the world move us toward your goal? Answer, it doesn't. It doesn't. So let's ask a deeper question. Are all of the claims you've made since the 1980s, 90s, how we're all five years away from something worse than World War II. You know, we're all going to die in a fiery flood. Is that true? Any of that? Or is this about control? Because if we only have five years to do something, why are you stopping Tesla? Why would you do that? We only have five years.

These guys are helping us. It doesn't make sense. Elon Musk did not become controversial when he built Tesla or when he launched rockets or when he championed electric energy. When did he suddenly become controversial? And it's not Donald Trump. It's when he stood up and defended free speech. That's when they turned on him. When he bought Twitter and exposed the censorship that we now can prove happened.

When he said he wouldn't be a pawn for either side. That's when it happened. That's when the outrage machine flipped on. They had to put him out of business, have to put him out of business. And when people try to justify it, they usually pivot to one word. Well, he's a fascist. So let's ask some questions on that one. Well, this isn't about Tesla.

It's about stopping Musk. He's a billionaire fascist. Okay. All right. Let's think about that for a second. What do you think? I feel like, you know, I feel like Montoya and six-figured men, you keep using that word.

I do not think it means what you think it means. What does fascism mean? What is a fascist? Is it simply somebody with a lot of money and a large platform? Is that what it is? Is it somebody who questions centralized authority? Is it someone who wants less government interference, not more? Because none of those things are the definition of fascist.

Traditional fascism is defined by state control, forced conformity, censorship, and the silencing of dissent. That's what a fascist does. So will you recognize you don't understand the word fascist or fascism? And maybe you can pick another word, but that one, you know, I could call my car a horse or a goat all day long. It's not going to make it a horse or a goat. It's still a car. So you can call him a fascist all you want, but it doesn't make him a fascist.

let's find another word that might work for you. Maybe political opponent is better. By the way, Musk, that fascist is the one being protested, censored, and attacked for trying to create platforms where dissent is allowed. How?

Don't you have a headache? If you're on that side, don't you have a headache? We should bring our friend's aspirin. You've got to have a headache. This is heavy lifting you're doing. So here's the question. Is he really a fascist or is he a powerful figure who doesn't obey the approved narrative?

Because that's what it is. That's the same thing with Trump. He doesn't care what the approved narrative is. He's just going to do it. Whether you like it or not. That doesn't make you a fascist. It makes you a fascist if you're telling everyone they must conform. If somebody is a fascist for promoting open dialogue, transparency, and government accountability,

what do you call the people who are trying to shut him down by any means necessary, including violence? See that? Because if you take the word fascist away and you apply it to him, there's no word for the people who are actually trying to silence people through violence or terroristic activities. There's no word. You've taken the word. And, you know, the worst thing is, and I said this about racism. How many years ago? 30 years ago, can we stop calling everybody a racist? Stop calling us everybody racist. This is like in the 90s. You're over-use. You're over-use. that word. It's going to let real racists go by the wayside because it will have no meaning anymore. The same thing with the fascists. What do you do when actual fascists arrive? So let's get back to the route. These protests, they don't make any sense. Let's ask some more questions. Who's organizing these protests? Who's funding these protests? Who gains power or influence if Tesla's brand is damaged? If Musk is scientific.

or if the public believes the world is against him. Because regular people do not throw together rallies on a Saturday across the border, across the ocean to protest over American federal staffing decisions. It doesn't happen. You know what I'm really upset about? Have you seen what they've done? They're cutting some teacher salary over in Ireland. Oh, okay. I don't care. I don't live in Ireland. I don't care. It doesn't affect my life at all.

So how is this affecting their life? It takes planning. It takes money. It takes messaging. It takes media amplification. It takes global coordination. Gee, that doesn't sound like a grassroots operation at all, does it? And if the protests are being driven by a narrative and not facts, then isn't it fair to ask this question? What narrative are we being sold? and who's paying for all that advertisement? See, we're living in an age now where perception is power. That's it.

One viral video can topple a reputation. One headline can shape an election. And if you can convince the public that even climate heroes are suddenly now villains just because they challenge a certain system, not even the one you say is the most important of all time, then you can control almost any story, and they know that. So here's the challenge for you today. I think you're going to love it.

This is for you and the people you love. Think. Think. Ask. Question with boldness. Is this protest helping the environment or hurting it? Is this outrage spontaneous or coordinated? Is the word fascism being used to reveal the truth or to shut down a conversation.

And most importantly, are we now burning down the lifeboats just because we don't like the captain of the ship? Because if we are, we might win the argument today, but did you just see the end of Titanic? Maybe we should, maybe we should watch that. I'm the king of the world. Was that Elon Musk? Did he actually sink that ship? Might be. He's a fascist, you know.

and the number one thing that fascists do, sink big ships. Okay, they never done that, but since we're redefining the word fascist, they sink big ships. Back in a minute. If you're living day in and day out with aches and pains, you're probably, you know, you know what it's like. You know what it's like pulling a plug on you. Your energy is slowly just draining out of you. It doesn't do a lot for your mood either or your outlook on life at all. I know exactly what it's like to feel.

And you've tried everything. Nothing is working. That's why I'm telling you. Relief factor is different. Please try it yourself. It doesn't work for everybody. I'm straight up with you on that. It works for about 70% of the people who try it.

That may not be you. But it might be. And if you're like me and it works, you can get out of pain. The best thing is it's not a quick fix. It's a long-term solution to help you get out of pain and stay out of pain. And it's helped a ton of people. And you might be the next one. Try it.

1995, try the relief factor three-week quick start, less than a dollar a day, 1-800 for relief. That's 1-800, the number four relief, or go to relieffactor.com. 10 seconds, station ID. Let me get into the SSI thing here, the Social Security insurance. So Elon Musk and a friend of his, they were out in Wisconsin doing a rally or a town hall. and they were talking about how, how they,

what they found in social security is just horrible. The, the government was giving away social security numbers and it wasn't haphazard. It was planned. People were coming across the border and they were handing them a social security number. And it was clear that I don't remember the numbers, but it's a very high number. We are paying people who came here illegally.

We're giving them social security. When our, when our old people can't afford to, eat, we're just giving this away to people who are here illegally. That's crazy. Crazy. So, you know, we don't survive as a nation without some accountability and without some common ground. And I don't know, again, when did it, when did it become okay to cheer or jeer for somebody who's stopping corruption in our government. When did it be okay?

How did we get here? How did we get to the point to where people actually cheer the idea of our government secretly and denying it, if you ask them, giving taxpayer-funded benefits like Social Security to millions of people who are here illegally? And most people don't even blink now. How did we get? Forget politics. Forget red team, blue team.

Just let me say this. Let's just ask your friend, ask yourself this question. If the people you trusted the least were doing this, would you be okay with it? That's to my side. Would you be okay with it? I would be fine if you had an Elon Musk in there doing this. Be totally fine. And exposing all of this?

Yep. It's not a gotcha. It's a principle. It's critical thinking. Would you be okay? You know, critical thinking really needs to make a comeback. because when we stop thinking critically, we start defending nonsense because our side is doing it. And we lose something bigger than an argument.

We lose trust. We lose connection. We lose the ability to have any kind of honest conversations with the people that we love. So how do you talk to your friends and your family who just don't seem to see what we see? Well, it doesn't start with confrontation. It starts with curiosity, which brings us to questions you can ask. You ask them, can we just look at this as if we didn't know who was in office? Because then we can find our principles.

We just still feel like this was okay. What's the limiting principle here? If this is allowed for the government to deny that they're doing this, but give all of this money, all of these benefits to people who are here illegally, while denying they're doing it, and it's not within the bounds of the law, if we can just do this now, is there any limiting principle? What can't we do? What happens to a country when the law no longer means what it says?

Don't accuse. We just need to start inviting people to answer these questions. Show respect for their mind. Because deep down, most people do not want to be hypocrites. They don't. And that's the conflict that they're having in their head right now. They want to be consistent. They want to be fair.

But sometimes they just need a little help. connecting the dots. So what they'll say is, well, Trump did, you just stop them right there. It's not about Trump. It's about policy and principles right now. Can we judge this on its own merit? The dishonest ones will end the conversation there. And they'll want to just go back into the outrage machine.

But you stay in reality because we can't see our neighbors as enemies, just because they see the world differently. But the first step to helping each other is ask honest questions. have the courage to listen to their answer, not be thinking, oh good, they said that so I can say, just listen, even when it makes you really uncomfortable, because we have to find our way back to truth. We have to find our way back to the actual law. We have to find our way back to logic because it's not political. It's just about right and wrong. And if we can't do this, then the fight isn't about left versus right anymore. It honestly isn't even about good. good and evil. It's about sane versus the insane.

He is obviously Republican from Wisconsin, the big vote, and what the Supreme Court would mean for the rest of the country, a liberal Wisconsin.

Supreme Court. What would it mean for the rest of the country? Donald Trump is very, very clear on all of this. There's a very important election for state Supreme Court on April 1st. That's today. Brad Schimmel is running against radical left liberal Susan Crawford, who has repeatedly given child molesters, rapists, women beaters, and domestic abusers light sentences. She is the handpick voice of the leftists who are out to destroy your state in our country. And if she wins, the movement will restore our nation. It will bypass Wisconsin.

inalienable rights and preserve liberty and justice for all. So important, please, Wisconsin, get out and vote today for Brad Schimel. That's from the president. Okay. Did you see that Elon Musk was out doing this as well. I mean, he's passionate about it as well. Yeah, really passionate about it. Really fired up, and they've spent a lot of money. They're really focused on it. It's an important election.

Senator Ron Johnson is with us now to tell us why this is so important in Wisconsin. What does it mean to the rest of us? Senator, how are you? Well, if Susan Crawford wins will retain the radical left majority on the court that was established in 2023 when George Soros and crew came in and pretty well bought that Supreme Court race spending tens of millions of dollars. They over the last two years, they've redistricted our state assembly and state Senate. So our majorities in those chambers have, has shrunken. And if they retain that radical left majority on the court, they will redistrict Derek Van

Edelder and Brian Stiles congressional seats, really put those things in jeopardy. If they put those in jeopardy with such a slim majority, we could lose the majority in the second half of Trump's term. And I just think I would then be sitting for a third impeachment trial for Donald Trump. And he'll basically have two years where he can be effective. And then the second two years is just going to be a you know what ride for the president. So this is crucial. In addition to that, they'll overturn voter ID law. They'll probably overturn any election integrity measure because Democrats want you cheat in elections. And we just may take Wisconsin off the map in terms of battleground state for the 10 electoral votes for Republican president. That's, that's how serious this is,

not to mention the fact that overturn Act 10, which is Governor Walker's signature achievements, say Wisconsin's hundreds of millions of not billions of dollars in the tax payments, that type of thing. So it's just a crucial election. And the good news, Glenn, is that this shouldn't be that hard. if you were one of the 1.7 million Wisconsinites that voted from President Trump 1.7, he's a record vote getting in Wisconsin. Our last Supreme Court judge in 20223 got 800,000 votes.

That's a 900,000 vote difference. So if you want to see President Trump effective and you voted for him, get out and vote. I mean, we should be logging 1.5, 1.6 million votes. So if you voted for him, use your text change. use your email chains, talk to everybody you know that also vote for Donald Trump, and get out and vote now.

We have to win this election. I don't think I have ever heard, Stu, have you ever heard of a state Supreme Court election be this? Trumpeted like this is so important to the nation. And that's why it's the most expensive ever, right? More money been spent on this because so many people are focused on it. I think maybe that's because George Soros is on one side and Elon Musk is on the other side. Okay, okay, yeah, that's fair. They're not exactly, they don't exactly have to pinch pennies.

You know what I mean? How? Guys, this started with Eric Holder, who started taking over all these district attorneys and, you know, George Soros funding these district attorneys that wouldn't prosecute crime. And this is, the left is very smart. They're relentless. So through stealth, they've taken over school boards. Again, they've gotten their radical left ideology infiltrated into every institution of this country, particularly our legal system. these radical left judges. I mean, those are the ones that are issuing nationwide injunctions

against the actions that a duly elected president was elected to enact, right? I mean, they're frustrating those attempts. Same things happening in the Wisconsin court. So they're the ones that, again, turned the 2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court racing the most expensive race in history over $50 million. They're going to double that now. So all Elon Musk is doing is trying to level the playing field. He's doing it brilliantly, by the way. I mean, it's brilliant what he's doing. I just hope and pray that he's successful. What is he doing? Explain what you mean by that. So he offered to pay people to sign a petition against activist judges. People who signed up to that petition were then eligible for a drawing to win a million dollars. I was at his town hall event

where he gave up two million dollar checks. And of course, our attorney general challenged that, but even the radical left Supreme Court turned back that challenge. So Elon Musk, the publicity he's getting for the million-dollar checks dwarfs the cost of the million-dollar checks, and he's getting millions of dollars of publicity. And so hopefully enough Trump voters are paying attention and will get off the couch, get out and vote and secure this Supreme Court seat. How are the numbers on early voting, do you know? Well, not good, but honestly.

I mean, Elon said at the event on Sunday night that 85% betting chance that Brad Schumel is going to lose. That's why this is a real rallying crime. There's no reason we shouldn't win this thing just running away if those 1.7 million Trump voters are serious about letting Trump be Trump and honoring his promises. It is amazing to me what the left is doing. through the court system. And I mean, you know, we've seen George Soros coming for a long time. And now he just, it's, it's almost like he, it's like nobody pays even attention to him. What he has done to our country, what he, how he has destroyed our states and many of our cities. I mean, look at, look at what happened in New York. Look at what happened in Los Angeles. Look at what happened in Minneapolis. Look at what happens wherever his fingers are. The destruction that comes with it. And nobody says anything about George. Sorrow's and yet Elon Musk is this this boogeyman and it that's that that's because the corporate legacy media there are a bunch of lepses themselves but it's also because as conservatives we really don't want to have to deal with government we just want government off our back for liberals

getting in government getting control of our lives that's their lifelong ambition so it's not a level playing field it's it's not a fair fight and so what happens we saw this under regina you re-elect Ronald Reagan he drops tax rates down at 28%. We kind of, you know, clap our hands together and say, okay, we, we've, we solved this problem. They're defeated. No, the left is relentless. And they, again, they do it through stealth. So they infiltrate every institution. And we just, we don't even see it coming. And we didn't see the Supreme Court race in 2023 coming. We, we haven't seen an even conservative school districts, the radical left is take over school boards and city councils and county boards.

So, again, government is everything to the leftists, to conservatives. We just want it off our back, so we just don't pay the attention to it as the left does. And that's what's happening in Wisconsin right now. The 1.7 million voters for Trump, they just aren't, they haven't paid enough attention to it right now. But now is the time to wake up, pay attention to it, and secure this Supreme Court seat. Yeah, I think this is your last chance to wake up in Wisconsin. I mean, you know, it's over today. So get out and vote.

Senator, thank you. Thank you for everything you've done in the Senate and protecting our nation and your state. We appreciate it. God bless you. Thanks for me on. You bet. Ron Johnson, the senator from Wisconsin. Boy, I tell you, that is, it is, it's amazing how this just never, ever ends. It just doesn't, it just doesn't ever end. And I think that's the problem with most people. It's like, you know what, I did. I fought really hard. I've lost friends. I've lost, but, you know, can I just have my life? back. I'm sorry. The answer is no, not really. This is your life. I mean, this is your life. This is your responsibility. If you lose your country, you lose your ability to worship God. You lose

your family. Because if you lose your right to worship God, what happens to your family? We've seen what the godlessness of this society so far has done to our children. So, I mean, I've always said God family country.

It's actually, I think, country God family. Might be country family. God. I don't know. God's in last place now? Gosh. Well, if you don't have, if you don't have country, you won't have God. Yeah.

So maybe it's country, God, family. And also, that's not true. I mean, like, how many people, how many Afghanis have we talked to over the years that are worshiping their God? But you won't have a in risking their lives. If you're not participating, if the godly people don't come out and participate,

your country is going to go to hell. You can be godly in a place that does, that where a government tells you can't. Really? Is this what we're doing? Yeah, I know what you. Oh, I just want to have some critical questions, Glenn. I thought that's what the show was all about. You said critical thinking.

I'm being critical of you. That's what you wanted, right? No, that's not what I wanted criticism of you. That's how I took critical thinking. I've got a critical question for some critical thinking. Why the hell are you still here? Why are you still talking? That's fair point.

It is, right? It's actually what I'm asking myself, too. I think I win that one. Stand by more admit it. All right. Well, do some critical thinking on sports instead. How about that? Baseball is here.

But isn't the whole point of progress to make things more human? That's why, at TD, when we design a product,

whether it's an app for making trading easier or monitoring your account for fraud, we ask one simple question. How does this help people? That's how we're making banking more simple, more seamless, and more intuitive. But most importantly, that's how TD is making banking more human. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I want to play a couple of things. First of all, I want to, Stu, if you will,

we're going to describe this video here. Okay. This is a vandal working some artwork on a Tesla. Go ahead. Play this. There he's describing getting out of the car. He's hiding. He's hiding now.

He. Again, these people don't realize that Tesla's have cameras all over them. Every angle. Just so stupid. Okay, so he's hiding. Now, he was caught on camera, and so the person who had the Tesla, his car was keyed, he confronted him in the parking lot. This is satisfying.

Listen to this. Free service. Free service. How about you pay for the repairs? Write a check. You just bought a Tesla. I can wipe it off from the towel. No, no.

It's not a key. It is a heat crime, sir. It is a heat crime. Did you write a swastika on there? I'm sorry. You're upset. Did you write a swastika? It didn't even work.

It doesn't work. Did you write a swastika on the, it's a key, sir. We see it on the video. It's not a key. Did you, is it a swastika? I was probably putting my keys in my pocket. Is it a swastika? Have you looked at your car?

Is there a key mark? Yes. Is it a swastika? It's not, that's not the police right now. It's being fingerprinted. What do you mean it's being fingerprinted? Because they were trying to track you down. Thankfully, Facebook tracked you down.

Uh huh. So your business, your freaking livelihood, everything now. Because you chose to write a, uh, uh, So tell Facebook that you're sorry for writing a swastika on a Tesla. Listen, I said, I'm sorry. For what? And I apologize. I have nothing against your car and I have nothing against you.

So why would you write a swastika on a Tesla? Obviously, I have something against Elon Musk, but that's not the way to show my- So Elon Musk owns that car? No, he owns the company. It was so, it was bought and paid for a long time ago. That's why it's misguided. And obviously, I did not intend to do it. Like is the total change.

What do you mean? It's at the police, why do the police have their fingerprinting it? Aye, boy, was that, ooh, wow, I feel completely different. Yeah, I mean, like, his explanation at the end there is a good one for like a mean tweet. Right? Like, you know, you're right. I shouldn't. I got it carried away.

And it's not, I'm upset. I shouldn't have done that. When you're keying a car. Yeah. I mean, he says he wasn't keying it. I don't know what the truth is on that. A lot of people have crayons and they're probably. markets as adults. Yeah, right. Come out of the car with the crayon, holding it like a key. Yeah.

One other thing, this is from Wisconsin. This is the founder and CEO of equity firm, Valor Integrity, equity partners with Elon Musk on stage. Listen to this about Social Security. When we saw these numbers, we're like, what is this? In 21, you see 270,000 people goes all the way to 2.1 million and 24. These are non-citizens that are getting social security numbers. Yeah, this is a mind-blowing charge. Yeah, just this literally blew us away. When you come in the country, if you're illegal, there's a couple ways to come in. You come in through a port of entry, and you can tell them you're afraid,

and they'll give you an asylum case, you'll get an interview, then you get in. That's one way to do it. Another way to do it is to just go to the border. Literally this happened. I talked to Border Patrol myself. Elon was there too. I went to Laredo, and I went to Bronsville. Elon went to Eagle Pass.

You walk up to a board portal officer And you tell them you want to come in They have a couple of choices They could charge you with a misdemeanor or a felony Under 1325 Or they can make an administrative offense Like a parking ticket basically They were told to do that

Make an administrative offense on the last administration And you walk across the border They do what's called a Relief of Neuron Recognizance and they give you an NTA and notice to appear Which is to appear to judge The wait times on judges are like average six years, look at Grock, you'll see it on immigration judges. There's only 700 of them.

This is 5.5 million people. Okay? So what happens then? Once you're in the country and you've got asylum, do one of these pathways, and we map the whole thing out, you can apply for a work document. You file a 765. It's the work form. You get this form called the 766. That's the authorization. And then Social Security Administration automatically send you in the mail your social security number. No interview. No idea. There are millions of people getting social security through that process that just came across our border illegally. This is Glenn Beck.

You know, we are now living in a world where it is totally acceptable, even celebrated to key somebody's car, you know, to torture Tesla to beat a woman in a parking lot, all because she drives something made by the wrong billionaire, I guess. That's not a protest. That's not justice. It's just flat out violence. It's hate wrapped in the language of virtue. And we're going to talk about that. Stu's going to tell us how much virtue you have when you burn a Tesla.

I mean, environmental virtue. Because I love these. Environmentalists are the ones that are like, we got to burn these Teslas down to the ground. Really, how much damage are you doing to the planet? I just, I just want you to know. It's kind of like a nutrition box on the side of what you're about to eat. Let me just be that little box for you.

Is it show me how, show you how many calories you're going to put up, into the atmosphere. You burn that Tesla. We'll do that here in just a second. First, let me tell you about Patreon Mobile. It'd be great to do business with a company that represented your best interest. I mean, wouldn't it? Well, hopefully you feel that way if you're a member of the Blaze TV. We try to do the right thing and try to represent your interest. It's a curious thing, though, in a day and age where we have so many choices that we still do companies or business with companies that don't represent our values at all, as well as represent our interest, not even best interests. Take your mobile phone company, for instance. If you're going through the big

boys, chances are pretty good. You're supporting some of the things with your money that you do not want to support. If you're with Verizon, congratulations, some of your money's going to Planned Parenthood. With Patriot mobile, on the other hand, you're actually supporting things you believe in because it's a Christian-owned company with awesome cell phone coverage, great U.S.-based customer service, and they take a portion of the money that they make out of their profit and use it to support amazing causes. And they're all up front about it on the front page of the website. You don't have to do, they're not hiding it at all. They're proud of it. You can have the same great sell service. Talk to an American every time you

need customer service and save money. Plus, you know where the money's going to. It's going to a good place. The choice is obvious. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. We're called 972 Patriot.

So you know, you don't have to like Elon Musk, you don't have to drive a Tesla, but when you start cheering for people to be attacked for what they drive, what they say or who they voted for, you might have lost the plot. But I'm not sure the left gets that. Now, they're just going more and more insane. I mean, the minute you are on the wrong side of Martin Luther King, I mean, it's a pretty good.

What did Martin Luther King said? What did he say? Oh, the opposite? No, I'm pretty sure I'm on the right side then. I mean, who thinks that? Who thinks that? Martin Luther King didn't say, you just got to hurt them and beat them in the streets

until they agree with you. Can you imagine Martin Luther King? Yeah, you know what I got to tell you? We're going to beat the snot out of those people every day until we get our way. No, in fact, he said the opposite. Hate cannot drive out. Hate, only love can do that.

So when did the left flip the script? When did rage become righteousness? righteousness now. When did we start thinking that violence was a valid argument? I mean, this is incredible. We just played this video of this guy who sneaks out of his car, doesn't know that Tesla's have cameras all over them, sneaks out of his car and he's keying the side of a Tesla.

They catch him. And he's like, what, what? No, I, what are you talking about? Come on, man. And he's an adult. He's an actual adult. This isn't a 20-something. This guy, how old do you think he is, Sarah, 35, 40?

I was even going higher, maybe 50. Yeah. I mean, this is an adult. You know, this is much bigger than Tesla's. This is about the idea that violence is okay if your cause is just enough. You know, if you're allowed to destroy somebody else's property or their body, you can do it as long as you feel like you're the victim. And I get it.

some people are angry, I guess. I'd hate to live my life. Wouldn't you hate to live your life that way all the time? Being so angry all the time. The second you use force to silence or punish somebody for thinking differently than you, you're no longer the good guy. I don't know if you catch that yet. You're a bully with a slogan.

That's all you are. So today I've been trying to concentrate on how to talk to your friends. How do you, you know, how do you talk to people who defend this kind of being? How do you talk to your family? Because I know I have members of my family that, you know, they don't listen to me. You know, because I'm Glenn. You know what I mean? Nobody in my family is impressed by me.

Nobody. And, you know, it's good because it keeps you humble. But, you know, they don't listen to me. I don't have my, nobody in my family is like, we'll ask Glenn because I bet he was there and saw that. No. No. We saw it on CNN. That's enough for us.

Okay. All right. Well, okay. We have to start asking people. First of all, we have to decide if we're going to be friends with our family or not. Because I think anybody, it's a cult that tells you not to be friends with your family. That's what a cult does. A cult says, divorce yourself from your family. Don't talk to your family. If they disagree with you, if they don't believe in what we believe, get away from them and never talk to them again.

That's a cult. That's a warning sign. Okay. So let's be the opposite. Let's make sure everybody knows we love our family. We want to be with you. But, you know, we don't want to disagree with you. But we're also not going to avoid the truth. But I really want to understand if you're for all this Tesla stuff. And you'll say, well, I'm not for all of it. Well, you, I mean, you kind of, you know, you kind of have to take all of it here. because this is all one in the same now. It's the same package. Ask them, would you feel good about this if this was done to your car? Now, who could say yes to that? Would you feel good if that was happening to your sister?

Would you feel good if that 61-year-old woman in Phoenix if that was your sister or your mom? Would you feel good about that? Nobody would. Nobody would. So how is it you're standing by and saying it's okay? Let me ask you, is violence the answer when you don't get your way? Because this is what I always heard from the left, you know, war is just violence and you don't get anywhere with violence. Well, okay.

Do you guys remember saying that? Because it turns out I think you're right kind of, you know. War is different, but we made a lot of mistakes in war. So why did you leave that? Why did you abandon that place? What happens when the other side starts doing the same thing back to you? Are you going to be okay with that? Or are you only okay with it on your side?

Because if your ideology only works when it's enforced by fist or fire, then your philosophy doesn't work, okay? You don't win the hearts and minds of people with hatred. You don't fix injustice by committing your own injustice. Now, I know that's not what we're being taught in schools now. the only way to be an anti-racist is the only way to not be racist is to be an anti-racist, right? Or pro-rate, what do they call it? Yeah, I think you're right.

And the only way to not be a racist is to be an anti-racist. Being not being racist is enough. It is not enough. Okay. You don't, you don't build a better world by burning something down in somebody else's driveway. You don't. And we have to stop pretending that this is okay. and you just have to start asking because it's it's not okay it's never okay it's not from anyone

it wasn't on january 6th why are you okay with people doing things that are violent now you weren't for january 6th i'm i'm here to tell you i proudly was against january 6th on january 6th and the 7th and the 8th and i still am today for anybody who is there actually committing violence hmm where are you because I'm against this violence and I was against that violence. And if we can't, if we can't say that out loud anymore, then we're not a movement. You're not a movement anymore. You on the left, you're no longer a movement.

You're a mob. That's all you are. And you're really half a step away from not being a mob, but terrorists. That's scary. Come back to common sense. Come back to reality. You know that's wrong. You know it's wrong.

Do unto others. do unto others is that would you be happy if my side were doing it to you no you wouldn't so why tolerate it stand up it's okay it's okay to stand up and say i mean i did this yesterday we i mean stew and i it's going to become very unpopular i don't think it is now but it's going to become very unpopular to say these things uh but the third term you know don't Trump talking about, you know, possibility of third term. The New York Times is saying today, he's just doing that so we won't be a lame duck in the last two years.

Maybe. Maybe. But I think there are some people around him that are absolutely serious. I think Steve Bannon is one of them. He's dead serious about, you know, there are ways. No, no, there are not ways. They're not ways. You know, Roger Eel said to me at one point, he said, Glenn, we all love the Constitution.

But there are things that we have to do from time to time. And I'm like, no, there's not. There's not things we have to do. We always have to abide by the Constitution. That's the answer there. And this is going to get hard for a lot of people because I really truly believe Donald Trump is the only one with the backbone, the spine, the vision to stand up and to withstand all of the punches that he has received. Can you name one other person that could go through everything that he's gone through and actually turn out to be nicer? because I don't know a soul.

I believe, I can't tell you that the election was stolen in 2020, but I can't tell you it wasn't. I just think it was unfair. I think something was hinky about that. It actually turned out to be a blessing that he had those four years away so he could, you know, get his sea legs. But. And I also believe that by 20, by 20, 28, that's not enough time to fix the country.

And it's not enough time to finish the job. It's going to take eight to 12 years. And I also believe extraordinary times call for extraordinary men. So I believe all those things about Donald Trump. Now, a separate question. You can believe all those things and not be against Donald Trump or anything else, not be on American and say, no, you know, we don't bend or break the Constitution to keep my preferred leader in power.

because if you break the Constitution to do that, then you've already lost the country you're trying to save. Now, if you want to change the Constitution, that's legal. That's what you have to do. But if you want to find a little trick to make it happen, then I can't go with you there. Because you're not saving the country. You're destroying the Constitution. As I look at this, we have to reroute ourselves back into principles. So let me give you some principles on this one.

Principle number one. do the ends ever justify the means? When it comes to power, do the ends ever justify the means? No. So letting your guy break the rules today sets a precedent for the other side to do the same tomorrow, only worse with no resistance. Power grabs are never one-time exceptions. They become habits and they always come around and bite you in the butt.

Take Venezuela. You remember Hugo Chavez? He rewrote the Constitution to stay in power. for the people. And every but one of his supporters cheered when he did it. By the time his successor, Nicholas Maduro, took over, the economy had collapsed, elections became a sham, and millions were forced to flee. And the same crowd that was cheering for Chavez for the third term for Chavez, guess what? They were imprisoned, silenced, or exiled under the very rules. They helped rewrite. It doesn't work out well. Principle 2.

If you love the Constitution, you don't make exceptions for your guy. If you love the rule of law, my guy broke the law, he's got to go to jail. Constitution is not a menu. It's not like I'll have a little of that and a little of that. No. This is one of those restaurants you walk into and they're like, there are no substitutions. You don't get to pick the parts you follow based on your convenience or your loyalty. Your loyalty is to the law, is to the Constitution.

And if you start saying, well, just this once, if you make exceptions like that, what you're doing is you're loosening all the bolts on the wings of an airplane. Well, just this one bolt. No, no, no, let's not take that one bolt because somebody else will say, yeah, let's just loosen this bolt. Just this one time. Eventually, you fall out of the sky. The nation's not held together by personalities. It's held together by principles. And that's why we're in the trouble we're in because not enough people.

Understand, no man is above the law. certainly didn't understand that under Biden. No man is above the law, period. Principle number three. You got to ask yourself this question. Would I like this if it were somebody I despised? Would I like it if Joe Biden or Barack Obama was trying to change the rule so he could find a way to run a third term? No, I wouldn't. So no. If I don't like it, if the other guy does it, that I can't like it. It's not right for me. And it might work out for a while.

You could get your policies and your judges. You might get your revenge. Maybe even get healing out of it. The whole world is great. But what happens when that guy is gone? There are no term limits anymore. Who says that they're term limits? You can't ignore these things.

Somebody Newsom, AOC, or worse, comes along, seizes the precedent, declares they're not leaving either. This is what the Democrats do. Do you know if they would have changed the number of the Supreme Court? How do you think they'd be working out for them right now? I don't think it'd be working out well. They would have handed us the key. But there is no key to this engine.

The country's engine only works with principles. It decays. It enslaves. It destroys without those principles. We're either guardians of that document or we're not. And if the Constitution cannot restrain your favorite leader, it can't restrain the worst one. You got to ask yourself, would I be happy with anyone else doing what I'm asking him to do? Would I be happy with that?

Would I be happy with my side keying the cars, the sides of cars? No. Would I be fine with their side keying cars? No. You might win today, but you don't want to give your enemy's weapons that will destroy you tomorrow. You know, if your house is infested with rats and you love your house, do you burn down your house to kill the rats? No. Wanting a third term to fix the system is like setting your own house on fire because you saw rats in the walls. A fire is going to kill a rat, sure, but it also

destroys your home. The foundation leaves you nothing, no roof to protect you. The Constitution is your house. You don't burn it down to save it.

calorie counting. Yes. Of Tesla's burning. Yeah, when you go to the side of, you know, whatever you're eating, they had that nice little breakdown of all the nutritional facts. That's kind of what I decided to go for. And when it comes down to when you burn a Tesla, what does that mean for your beloved environment? Now, I'm guessing, though, by the way, you say it, that it's not good for the environment. No. I would, I would tend to agree with that analysis. Huh.

One kind of, kind of, this is a part of this particular analysis, but just to add on to you a taste, each Tesla fire that breaks out can use as much as 36,000 gallons of water to put away. There was one in, I think it was Alabama back in 2023. It was a fire.

These are specialized batteries. There's a lot going on in a Tesla. You don't want them to catch fire if you can help it. And it took 36,000 gallons just to put out the fire. You know, I have a, I have a, a ranch and it's all solar and we were talking about some experts came out so you need lithium batteries

you got to put lithium batteries here and I said I live in the middle of a forest one of these things go off I burn the entire forest down there's not enough water to put them out and they said no you you just build a giant concrete crypt and you put them in there

and I'm like oh it's just that easy just like Chernobyl it was just that easy just like Chernobyl that should tell you something about them yes You just put them in a crypt. Oh. Okay. No.

I don't think so. Again, if you don't set them on fire, Tesla seemed to do pretty well. There was an issue back in the day. We used to talk about it where they would have like some issues with seeing spontaneously combusting. But that seems to have gone away. That's gone away. That's good. It's a positive development.

It is a positive. So try not to do it. Try not to do it on your own. Okay. Stay away from letting them on fire. All right. So we're going to go through that calorie count here in just a second. See how healthy it is to protest.

then burn cars down because it's good for the environment. At least that's what I heard Stu say. It's good for the environment. More in just a second. This is Glenn Beck. You know, one of the reasons why I like to be prepared is because I really don't like surprises. And I don't like, you know, you get so upset and so wigged out if something is thrown your way and you didn't see it coming. the people who do the best in emergency situations without fail are the ones that can remain calm.

Corey Booker is on the floor of the Senate, and he's filibustering. And, well, he's not actually filibing because he's not stopping a bill or anything. He's just talking, and he's been talking since last night. At length. Yeah. It's like, you know, Mr. Smith goes to Washington? Yeah.

It's like Mr. Smith goes nowhere. But so can we just, because it's important that we hear. Yeah, just give me just a little bit. Oh. Oh, really? Oh, that's too bad. We don't have it. Oh, gosh, that's a real disappointment.

I thought it was right there on the back screen there. I see it, Sarah. I mean, he looks like he's. There it is. Just give me a little bit of it. You have it? No, apparently not. We do not have it.

I will say it doesn't look a lot. like Cory Booker. He's lightened his tone a bit. Yeah. He looks more like Senator Chris Van Hollen. He does look almost exactly like Senator Chris Van Hollen from Maryland. I don't know. Maybe Mr. Smith had to go to potty. I don't know. Maybe he had to go. Yes, true.

Yeah. Mr. Smith had potty breaks. He did. He did. Well, no. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. That's what a filibuster was really a filibuster. Yeah. You have to keep talking. Yeah, keep talking. And they do important work at... Wow, that's great. Okay. I think we got it. That was more than I needed, but it was, yeah, it was important to check in. We got it.

Okay, so I'm waiting for the nutritional value of burning Teslas. For those who believe that, you know, global warming is an existential threat. The greatest existential threat. We only have five years to stop producing pretty much all of our carbon emission. Yes. But it's just like all of it. Okay. We're at a tipping point almost here. Well, we're at a tipping point. We can't go back. And the last thing you want to do, when you're on a tipping point, you just don't even want to, you just don't even want to breathe, you know? Right.

Right. Right. Because you don't want that. You don't want that. Now, speaking of that, what kind of positive things does burning Teslas do? Let's think about the options here. What do you have to do? You could drive a gas vehicle like we have forever. Yes. We know that's bad. That would be bad. That would be bad. Now, let me go through the numbers on a driving a gas-powered vehicle. Manufacturing nine metric tons of CO2 equivalent. Wow. Wow, that's bad.

The operation. That's why I don't have it. Well, I still have a gas guzzling car, but I have a bigger one. Yeah, you increase it. Your numbers would be higher. I would say, knowing Glenn in his car collection, it would definitely be a tad higher. I was looking at, you know, Jay Leno and I were talking about one of his cars just the other day. It gets two miles a gallon.

Two. And I'm like, wow. I'd like to achieve that someday. Two full miles. Downhill. Downhill. Yeah. Of course.

Yeah. It's not on. Okay. So manufacturing nine metric tons of CO2 equivalent. Operation of that vehicle, about 31 tons. And then the end of life as they, you know, you put it in the junkyard and all those other things. You got two more metric tons. Total of 42 tons of CO2 equivalent.

42 tons. Now that is. as we know the thing that's going to kill all of us yeah that that's that's that's that's that's big foot it's the big foot that's coming in with a big foot carbon foot and just stuffing it down your throat it's good it's we're all going to die we're all going to die that's how bad that is that's why we have electric cars

that's why we have electric cars now let me take the alternate scenario okay now hang on just a second give me the number again so I just have it written down so I just want to show I want to do the math here sure 42.08 metric tons. 42.08 metric tons. Okay, got it. Okay, that is for operating a gas-powered vehicle.

Hate those things. Then you have, let's say, you're like, I want to be environmentally safe. I want to buy a cool Tesla. You buy a Tesla cyber truck, right? Those are the ones they've been mainly lighting on fire. There's been various attacks on all sorts of cars, of course. But the cyber truck, I think, has been the biggest target. So you buy a cyber truck.

Then someone comes and, lights it on fire and destroys it. Then you, what do you have to do? You got to still get around, right? So you replace it with another cyber truck. Okay. How does that look for the environment? Yeah.

So you're manufacturing a cyber truck, 22.5 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. All right. 22. 22. Then the fire impact, just setting it on fire by itself, just that day. Just that day. Another five metric tons. Five metric tons.

Yes. Now, again, almost a quarter of making it. Only a quarter of making it. And half, more than half, of making. a gas powered vehicle. Ha, okay. More than half. Okay.

Okay. All right. Five metric tons for the fire itself, all the things that go into the, into the, now did you figure out how much the big huge fire truck that's just burning diesel fuel like crazy? I think that's, I mean, I guess technically that's, I don't know if that's included. Okay. Okay. When I, maybe not in Alaska in Hawaii.

Right. Not in Alaska, Hawaii. Next, you got to replace it with another cyber truck. So that's got to be manufactured another 22.5 metric tons of CO2. Yeah. Then you're going to operate that. cyber truck for the life of the vehicle while you have it, 12.17 metric tons of CO2, and then the end of life replacement as it kind of degrades. You have another two metric tons.

Total emissions 64.17 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. Now, it seems. It seems. I'm not a mathematician. No. Okay. But I am a thinker. You are. And it seems like 64.17 is a bigger number. than 42.08. Glenn, very, very good. I didn't go to school for it, but, you know, hey, I know smart people. You might recognize it as about a 50% increase in emissions. So that's kind of, you think, a really bad thing.

Bad thing to do. Really bad thing. Especially if we're on the edge. However, we have another scenario here. Oh. I feel like it may be a little bit more likely. Okay. All right.

Because the person, let's say you start off, you buy a cyber truck. someone comes, lights it on fire, as your family looks in horror, hopefully not on the inside of it. Yeah. Yeah, well, you may... Serve them right. They voted differently. Right. Yeah.

You may be like, you know what I want to do with my next vehicle, not get another cyber truck. I might want to instead just get a gas powered vehicle next time. Right. If you do that, you've got the cyber truck originally manufactured for 22.5 tons. The fire impact five more tons. The replacement gas vehicle manufacturing of nine metric tons. the replacement gas vehicle operation of 31 tons, the replacement gas vehicle end of life at two metric tons,

a total of 69.58 metric tons. Is that still bigger than 46. Yes. It is. Zero. It is. Seven. That's weird.

It is a lot higher. So, I mean, and if you kind of look at another kind of interesting way to look at this, is you've got about 40, it's about 40, let's see, cyber truck and a gas powered vehicle. really about equal. I mean, it's actually the cyber truck. If you drive it for a lot longer, you can get to the positive side on the cyber truck. But generally speaking, for the first, at least seven years of its life, which is when the average person owns their car for, it's going to be worse for the environment, even without setting it on fire. And then you set it on fire,

it gets a lot worse. How's it's going to be worse? It's got that free electricity. Yeah, well, first of all, no, it doesn't. But secondly, it also takes a lot more to manufacture. I don't know if you caught that number. manufacturer more than double as far as CO2 equipment. I saw that, but it doesn't count. Oh. See, you got me on that point.

Right? Critical thinking. Thank you. I was just blurting out these numbers and you critically thought of my numbers and then just ask a question. Are the batteries made here? The batteries made in China. I don't know.

It's a good question. I would say probably, well, knowing the tariff situation, I think the tariffs would hit batteries, wouldn't they? Yeah, I think so. I know Tesla actually did write a letter. Kind of saying, hey, like, can we not have tariffs? Tariffs on our cars, maybe. They did attempt that.

I don't know if there's a built in China, though. I know they have a huge manufacturing here in Texas. Yeah, right. And in other parts in the country. But everybody else's battery is made in China. So that's good. Because, I mean, they're so good for the environment over there. They are.

I trust them with batteries. You know, batteries and rivers, I bet China does well. And viruses. And viruses. I'm big on the Wuhan. Institute of Virology. Right. So.

I was looking because they did put, this is Biden, by the way, put 100% tariffs on Chinese manufactured electric vehicles. Because again, a totally defensible thing for Donald Trump to do, right? He has a real issue with China

and believes that they're a major foe. He has been pro tariffs, his entire adult life in the public. Everyone knows he's been for tariffs since the 80s. was tariff. Yes. They're like, no, mommy.

MAMI. So we know that from him. Right. Is it a defensible thing from Joe Biden to do? Because you're telling me the greatest existential threat is not China, but it is global warming. And then China is producing a couple of actually really nice electric vehicles, but many that are terrible and low price. But would be great for the quote unquote environment. How do you know?

Why would you not... How do you know what electric vehicles, China is? Well, there's one that's pretty cool. What is it? It's a Lotus. They, they... That's English. It is English.

Manufactured in China, this one particular... Oh, those rat bastards. Right. They got China, they got England too. So these, I mean, I, let me, Glenn, can we, do we have sad puppy dog music? Yeah. Do we have some sad music? Is this going to be, is this going to be, are people going to cry because maybe...

You know, you know, The lotus store? There are people... The lotus... There are lotus owners or people who want to buy lotuses or lotus eye. Loat eyes. Loatyes. Which...

They want to get the brand new Lotus Electra. Wow. Which is available in theory right now, but can't be imported in the United States because these 100% tariffs. Yeah. And we're talking about a car that should be like $120,000, but instead is looking at $229,000. Sounds specific. Doesn't it sounds a little like he's been looking into this.

I mean, you know, I'm just saying it's a pretty cool looking car. I was at a friend's place on Saturday. And I was just stopping by and see he has an exotic car, you know, place. And I just love going to look at his cars. And I went in and there was a lotus. And I knew Stu was looking at a lotus. And I just think they're cool. Yeah, I just never seen one.

And I just, I saw one. And I'm like, oh, he's looking for it. But it was a little small sports car, which you're not looking. Because I thought to myself, this is not going to go over well with Lisa. Right. She's not going to say yes to this. But you were looking at an SUV? Yeah, they just released like that SUV type of thing called the Electra.

I talked to the guys about it. They were like, it is fantastic. They're making one. It looks incredible. They're making one special edition just for America. Yes, the carbon. Again, I don't know much about this. Yeah, but they said they were making one just for America.

And I told him and I said, I know what he makes. He's not going to be able to buy one of those. Thank you. I mean, you could do something about that. I couldn't. I couldn't. I'd like to. But then you'd be in bed giving money to China. You know, what would I be thinking? No, no. Not going to do it. He said you're just not going to get one. That's what they say. I mean, there's a few of them here, but you can't, they won't even sell them to you because of the crazy tariff situation right now. Again, I actually like the tariffs on China. I think there's a much clearer argument for it, right? I mean, like, you know, you know,

You know, when you're talking about, again, a tax is an inefficiency in the market, right? That's what a tariff is a tax and a tax is an inefficiency in the market. So you're creating an inefficiency to the market. You have to have a justification for that. What is it? Well, it might be to return manufacturing to the United States, right? Or it could be, we have a foe in China. We do not want to help them in any way.

And I think that's incredibly defensible. So what happens tomorrow at 4 o'clock? Because 4 o'clock tomorrow is when he's saying tariffs are coming. And they're saying he didn't do it today because of April Fool's Day. Okay, hang on. That was actually the reason. That's actually smart. The guy, he thinks of everything, that'd me?

All right. Hang on. We'll come right back and we'll talk about what happens tomorrow at 4 o'clock. Simply safe. I want to read what a police officer recently wrote into SimplySafe. He said, I have worked everything from burglars, home evasion, smash and grabs, assaults to horrific murder cases. No one should be without an alarm system.

And Simple safe fits the bill perfectly. I can't tell you how much peace of mind I have when I leave my home with my wife there.

Glenn Beck returns shortly. Tomorrow, Donald Trump is calling this Liberation Day. It's going to be a hard one to sell.

If all these things come through and you don't have other countries starting to back up, it could be a very scary few weeks. Maybe. I don't know, because I don't see him backing off. Tomorrow, 4 p.m. Eastern, he is going to lay out the tariffs. The specifics on the tariffs are uncertain still. He may adopt tomorrow an even more aggressive approach than previously anticipated. Initial discussions suggested tariffs were on 10 to 15 countries,

but statements from the White House indicate the measures are going to apply globally, affecting every U.S. trading partner we have. He is expected to implement a 25% tariff on all imported automobiles, trying to get people to move their manufacturing back here. And if that is your goal, that is an effective way. But there's going to be a lot of pain in that goal. I mean, you know, have you even thought of parts? I mean, you have a Honda?

Where is that part? Is that part from overseas or is that part made here? Or Chevy. Yeah, Chevy. Same thing. Even if you have an American car, lots of these parts are made in other countries. And this is just going to get harder and harder.

I mean, if there's a tariff on any of these cars that you might have, parts are going to get very expensive. A couple of interesting things about the timing of this. One is they, Donald Trump initially wanted to do it on April 1st, but then was like, I don't really want to make it on April Fool's Day.

People might not know if it's real or not. So that's really actually the reported reason why they moved it to April 2nd. The other thing is you mentioned 4 p.m. Eastern. Of course, that's when markets close. So they're not going to put them on until after the markets are done for the day. So they can't react in real time to it. That's smart. Hopefully have a little bit of time to kind of think it over and, you know.

It's interesting that he does it at 4 o'clock. So the markets are closed. That shows you probably not going to be small tariffs. No. I mean, and if you thought the markets were going to skyrocket because of them, it wouldn't be a consideration to do it at 4 p.m. So, no. It could be a tough couple of days. Fascinating.

Fascinating. Well, we'll see you tomorrow. It's going to be interesting to see how we work all of this out, isn't it? This is Glenn Beck.
