The Glenn Beck Program - Is the Current Department of Education ILLEGAL? | Guest: Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg | 3/20/25

Episode Date: March 20, 2025

A few recent stories have made Glenn emotional, one being a chilling performance on "Britain's Got Talent." Glenn discusses what's going on in Antarctica, as a group of researchers are stuck, hours away from help, and one of the researchers is accused of being dangerous. Recent alleged discoveries about the pyramids of Egypt contradict what was formally believed about how the pyramids were built. Glenn and Stu discuss artificial intelligence becoming mainstream and the skepticism that now engulfs our mindset. Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg (Ret.) joins to discuss the current status of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and highlights the night-and-day difference between Biden and President Trump's approach. Glenn highlights his latest TV special, which dove into the history of NATO, and asks if America should continue being a part of it. Glenn reads a shocking addition in the original bill that established the Department of Education. Glenn and Stu discuss the ongoing domestic terror attacks happening, as radicals are targeting Tesla vehicles and burning them to protest Elon Musk.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It's something else here now. Something new. From. Exclusively on Paramount Plus. It's the series Stephen King calls scary as hell. Everything here is impossible, but it's also real. Sci-fi Vision calls it the best show streaming right now. We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules.

Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch. Saving those children is how we all go home. From binge all episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. You know, and I'm out at the ranch in the middle of nowhere. I'm an hour away from the hospital, which means my wife is an hour from the hospital. My kids are an hour from the hospital. People who work with me out there or an hour from the hospital. It's kind of terrifying, you know, when you know all the things that can go wrong,

especially when you're out in the, you know, out in the mountains. You know, somebody might just, you know, they're not just going to get really sick. Somebody could die if you can't get to the hospital. This is one of the reasons I have the Jace case from Jace Medical, and you should too. It's a pack of five powerful life-saving antibiotics that have been approved by board certified doctors. So when you get the case, it comes with a manual explaining each medication and how to properly use it. And if so things are closed, you're too far away. You're in a foreign country.

Whatever it is, you have the ability to help your kids get better, at least until you can get to a doctor or a pharmacy. Go to Jase, J-A-S-E.com, enter their giveaway or purchase your own case.

We're going to begin in just a second. America, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

There is a lot going on. Department of Education, the president says he's signing an order to shut a lot of it down. can't shut all of it down, but he's going to dramatically reduce the size of the Department of Education. And it's amazing because one of my researchers was going through the founding documents of the Department of Education and found something remarkable. I can't wait to share with you. Also, I don't know if it's just me, and it might be. I mean, I don't know. I might be getting close to my period or something. I don't know what's happening to me, but I'm weepy lately. And I don't, I can't figure out what is going on. But I, I have a theory because I have three stories that have done the same thing to me this week.

And one, you haven't heard about what is happening in Antarctica. It's incredible. We go there in just a second. First, let me tell you about the burner launcher. Being able to defend yourself at a distance without having to take a life used to be the stuff of science. science fiction. Set your phasers to sun, stun. Yeah, okay. Star Trek. These days, that's actually a reality. I mean, you can blow somebody away or you can stun them. And that stun gun, if you will, is a burn a launcher. You've got the ability to hit an attacker with kinetic rounds or even tear gas rounds up to 60 feet. That's going to incapacitate that person for about 40 minutes. And in that time, you can get the police involved. And just like that, the person goes to jail, and maybe just as importantly, you don't go to jail because you didn't use lethal force.

This has revolutionized the self-protection game. I have one. I have one for every member of my family. You don't need any background checks or anything else because it's less lethal. Everybody, as long as they're over 18, can carry them anywhere in the United States. I load mine with, you know, you know, alternating. rounds. Let's just say that. To optimize the Berna launchers' effectiveness, you load it the way you want to. Burnah.com slash Glenn 10% discount now. Check them out and get one yourself. B-Y-R-N-A.com

slash Glenn. All right. I saw something last night. I couldn't sleep again and I so I got up and it's the middle of night. It's, I don't know, one, two o'clock in the morning. And I go out and I just start working on some stuff. And then I find myself on Instagram and I'm trapped in that hole for a second. But I stumbled across something from Britain's Got Talent, the Simon Cowell Show. And I always love these things where somebody is just amazing. But I found myself on the couch last night, you know, 1 o'clock in the morning all by myself, crying like a little girl. I mean, I, and I'm like, what is happening to me?

Now, I usually cry, but I've noticed in the last four or five years, and I haven't talked about this, but I kind of felt like, gee, you're getting really dead inside, Glenn, because things weren't moving me emotionally. And that's weird for me. And, you know, it's not like I was complaining. I don't like it when I'm tearing up on it, you know, like, man, let me tell you when and the corn flakes were gone. I don't, okay, that's not exactly a manly thing, you know, that I love. But let me play a clip of this, because I think this is what's happening to me, and maybe it's happening to others. I don't know.

Listen to this clip. What's your name, please? My name is John. I'm 41. I'm originally from Wales, but now living in Essex. Could I look you in the art? You're just like an angel. John. I think we should start this again.

I'm soupy again. I'm like, what is happening to me? And I'm watching that. And I don't know. Maybe it's the little guy. I'm having a hard time holding it together. This is so weird. Maybe it's the little guy that is making it. the guy who really thinks, I'm alone, I'm a creep, I don't belong. And yet they do, but they don't know it? Maybe it's, because of the other day when they had the splashdown. Can you play the splashdown of the astronauts? And we're going to stand by for Splashdown, located in the Gulf of America, off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida.

and splashdown. Crew 9 back on Earth. Okay. Again, it's splashdown. I've seen this a million times and all of a sudden my eyes well up again. And I'm like, what is happening to me? I don't know if this is, it could just be me.

I might be doing a monologue for one. But in thinking over the last few years, my gosh, I'm getting so hard inside. And where nothing was really moving me to now for some unknown reason, I don't know. Maybe I don't know. Maybe I'm dying. I don't know. I have no idea. Oh, geez, maybe I'm transitioning into a sappy little girl. I don't know. But I think maybe I had given up on it wasn't, I wasn't seeing examples of the little guy winning.

I wasn't seeing examples of heroic feats. I was seeing politics and politicians and things that I just knew were lies. Nobody paying a price and nobody reaching out and going, I'm going there. And now we're in this season where all of that, which I think is truly American, is coming back, is alive again, where the little guy can win. The little guy, they do care about him. You know, the president just abandoned these astronauts in space

because he didn't want it to look bad for him. I mean, one of the American principles, something that is in all of us is we don't leave anyone behind. And we did. I mean, everything felt too tough and no one could get anything done. And then we had the change in the presidency and now all it has to be done is Elon Musk,

a guy who they're trying to destroy right now, Elon Musk said, I can go up and get them. I mean, think of that. Who on the planet can say, I can do that. I'll go get him. And he does. And it's successful.

And it's heroic. And the astronauts, they didn't badmouth anybody. They didn't, they shared, you know, no matter what happens to us. It's going to be fine. It's going to be great. Just that heroic stance of, praise God, even if I burn up in the atmosphere. Wow. I don't know if anybody else is feeling this, but maybe this is a really good sign that things are becoming

real again. And we're seeing in an age where AI is growing at leaps and bounds, that we're seeing that inner strength. We're seeing that one thing that makes us human. You can't do that. Oh, yes, I can. And I'm going to. Because I got this way on another story that I really have no reason to care about. Let me tell you this story. I read this today. It's in our show prep. It's a story. It's a story. in a place that is just as deadly as space. You know, the line is in space, no one can hear you scream. Well, the same thing here,

except it's on Earth. And there is no Elon Musk to do a rescue. And it is a desolate, windswept, barren land where the sun hasn't set in months. But now it's entering a time where it won't rise for months. So it will be completely dark, little colder.

thermometer on a good day right now is 13 degrees below zero and that's without the wind chill and the wind blows all the time the ice stretches out in every direction it's endless it's unyielding it is a frozen prison it is just like the bottom of the sea space on earth except we call it the south pole and right now there are nine members of the the South African National Antarctic Program. They're fighting for their lives at the Sane 4 base. And it's not that they've been abandoned by anybody. There's just no resource their government has to rescue them.

They are, I think this isn't a story of researchers, because these researchers are down there for global warming and everything else. And, you know, the story I read had all of that stuff in it. I don't think it's about the research that they're doing. That's why they're so heroic because they're, no, I think what's amazing about this story is they're finding out who they really are. And let me set the scene for you. There is Dr. Luana, a guy, he's a dermatologist and a physiologist. I don't know what he has to do with global warming.

I don't want to get a sidetracked. Then you have eight other people, engineers, meteorologists, et cetera, et cetera. And they arrived at this base in December 2023. and they were supposed to be relieved in February. But the replacements never came because the ship that was supposed to bring the new team got stuck in Cape Town because it had mechanical issues. And now these nine are stranded and they're facing a 13-month winter in one of the most hostile places on Earth. They're at a base camp that's perched on this rocky outcrop and it's surrounded by glacial ice. I mean, they're not sitting inside with hot cocoa and blankets and, you know, going skiing.

They're trying to survive this place where the wind, on average, is like 60 miles an hour. And the ice, they just face this. The ice can swallow you whole. They were just facing something. I don't remember what it was called. It's in the story. But they were facing something where the ice can start to contract and start to come in. And they thought the entire station that was built in the 70s,

was going to be swallowed up and crushed by the ice. What do we do? Do we get crushed inside or we do outside with no help coming and just freeze to death? What do you do? The closest help is 2,500 miles away. That's the distance between New York and Los Angeles. But there's no highways. There's no little cute little hotel in a cafe or gas station along the way. There's nothing but ice.

An ice-filled ocean, storms that sink ships all the time. The ship that was supposed to pick them up, that's their lifeline under repair. And even if it would set sail today, it will take weeks, if not months, to reach them. And in the meantime, they're on their own, dwindling supplies, the Antarctic winter closing in. And it's not like people in South Africa have forgotten about. This team is a source of national prize. This base, I think they've been at this base off and on since the 1960s, and it's their commitment to global cooperation. So it's a big deal to them.

And it's a cluster of buildings that are up above the ice, so it's just not buried by snow all the time. Inside right now, the lights are flickering on and off. The generator struggles against the cold. This is normal. The team is huddled together, rationing their food, their fuel. They're trying to keep morale up, but it's hard. They're checking weather reports, knowing full well that a storm will cut them off from any hope of rescue for weeks. The others, the engineers, the scientists, the mechanic, working around the clock just to keep everything running.

Remember, they have had no replenishment of supplies. The equipment is old. The conditions are brutal. They're running out of time. And they've already faced. I mean, they were surrounded by the ice and they thought they were going to get crushed. They've been cut off from communication for days and weeks because the satellite fails in the storms. The psychological toll, especially when you're going into never-ending darkness.

I don't know. So why am I telling you this story? Because I don't think this is another example of things that will move us as. as we watch these people. This is not about nine people in a far off place. This is about the human spirit. It's about what we're capable of when all of the odds are stacked against us.

These nine South Africans, they're a microcosm of humanity. They are just all fighting to survive, to contribute, to make a difference. If they fail, we lose more than just data on global warming. We lose a story of resilience. We lose a story that could inspire us and our kids for generations. You know, help 2,500 miles away across the southern ocean.

One of the most treacherous bodies of water on earth all around them. There's no airstrip. You can't land a plane there. These nine are on their own. And every day that they hold out and they have their morale up is a testament. to the human spirit, to their grit, their faith, their determination. I wanted you to know this story today because I don't know who you are, what you're going through, but strangely I always feel like we're friends somehow.

And I don't know what you're going through, but I know there are people right now facing problems and they think there is no way out. But if you just hold on and you do the next right thing, you will prove to yourself that you'll, have the same spirit the explorers have inside of them. It lives in all of us. It's already there, but it only shows itself when you or I activated, when we refuse to give up. That's the human spirit that just never ends. So the tournament starting today, it's going to be a lot of fun. Well, some signs of human spirit in there as well. Glenn, some kids overwhelming incredible odds

to make incredible things happen. I love race car drivers. No, no, Glenn, it's basketball. Oh, there's going to be basketball. I was going to say golf. Now, I will say back in the day, I used to love, I used to, like, want to skip school and stay home and watch every single one of these games. I kind of like, you know, the college basketball thing is not as much of my purview anymore.

I tell you, you know, you just said something, I didn't know we had this in common. Because you said, you know, when you were a kid, you wanted to skip school and, you know, stay at home, watch these games. Yeah. And I used to want to skip school all the time, too. Okay. I mean, that's partially something in common. Well, partially.

Did you see Joan Goldberg? I don't know what happened to Jonah. I like Jonah. I like Jonah. And I think just the Trump derangement syndrome has just claimed a victim with him.

But he clearly did not watch even the clip that was out from last night show where I was making a case both for and against NATO. And he went nuts. We're going to talk about that coming up. This is Glenn Beck. All right. Listen, if you're already doing business with good ranchers, you know them. Quality isn't just some buzzword. It is a promise.

And that's because their commitment to help save the American farmer and rancher is real to them. They searched up and down America's heartland. They still are looking for the best. The cattle grazed on native grasses finished with grain for an unmatched flavor. Delicious chicken sourced from family farms, free of antibiotics, hormones and vaccines, fish and shrimp harvested from American fisheries, including in the Gulf of America. In fact, I think they're the first ones to have their packaging, say, shrimp from the Gulf of America. This is what a deep commitment to a set of principles actually looks like.

Most of the meat you buy in the grocery store comes from overseas, even the ones that say made in the USA, and they're not. Good ranchers is all about changing that because the American consumer, you and me, deserve American meat on our table. And we have to have it. and we have to have our ranchers and our farmers doing well to continue to feed us. Good Ranchers.com. Use the promo code back.

I have some, you know, pressing things to do today about our economy, about politics, about the judges. I spoke to a federal judge last night. And he was like, Clinton, judges have got to start speaking out.

He's like, I don't, I don't ever do that because I don't like judging judges because I didn't hear the case. So I don't know. He said, but what's happening in Washington now with the left and these judges going after, he said, this is really bad and judges need to start speaking out. So I've got something on that. But then I got up this morning and I saw a story that I don't know what to make of it. And, you know, I did some research on it. We're going to do more research on it.

But the research that I could do on it in an hour or so today appears that it is real. But there's two companies involved. And the people who commissioned this study, you know, kind of believe in some crazy things, you know, about the pyramids and everything else. So I don't know. But if what they found is real and Grock was telling me, yeah, I've done the, I mean, I had two pages of source material saying, yeah, this is true, this is true. But nobody else has confirmed it yet.

So we don't know. But it was showing me all of the data and showing me the, basically the x-rays. This is the, you know, how an x-ray just will look at your bone. they took this space-based technology and they pointed it to the pyramids to see what was at the base of the pyramids. And not only do they find things at the base of the pyramids, they found things under the great pyramids of Giza that if it's real, it just changes absolutely everything, everything. So they're using synthetic aperture radar, SAR,

and it can see through the dirt and stone, and it bounces signals off of things underground and listens for tiny vibrations. What they found is huge hidden structures deep beneath the pyramid. Now, let me give you what they think they found. Five huge rooms or buildings near the pyramid's base, underground. linked by paths with slanted roofs and layers inside of the pyramids, and then tunnels that go down and connect the pyramids.

Then they found eight really large tube-like holes. They're like wells that go down. And they're kind of deep. They're 600 meters deep. the hole. There's five of them. That's half a mile. Six hundred meters deep underneath the pyramids. Then under that are these giant cube-shaped rooms, each about 80 meters, which think of a football field. Down at the bottom where the tubes meet, all of this stretches two kilometers. That's over a mile underground. So this structure is over a mile underground.

If any of that is true, the slaves didn't do that. We have no idea what did that. But they're saying now this is a, it's not a, if it's true, I want to make sure. Not confirmed, not confirmed. It's confirmed by these two companies that did this study, but there's no outside person that has come out that I know. know of that I could find that is saying, yes, we checked all the data, but they've released all the data. Okay.

So I don't know. But that would lead you to believe that the pyramids were not built by the Egyptians. They weren't a tomb. We don't know what they, what they are. But I found it, I don't know. I kind of found it exciting that and a little frightening because have we been. to the singularity before, think of this. We are on this pace now to discover and to be able to do things that we never thought we could do.

The story of the Tower of Babel is, you know, God comes down and destroys and confuses everybody's language, because if they can do this, they can do anything. And so whether you believe in God and all of this stuff doesn't really. matter. It is a story of a group of people looking at people just as a collective let us build bricks

and build a tower of sky and then doing things because they could work with the collective and control the collective and do anything. We don't know how they made the pyramids, but if their structures a mile underneath the pyramids, we know

no ancient civilization that we know of did this. That's pretty incredible. Did we have technology? Forget about space aliens and everything else. Did man get to this point before destroy itself? History erased it. New civilizations rose up.

Did the Egyptians, were they, when they started, were they just like, oh yeah, those are ours? them because I remember seeing the built or was it just like they've been there and they're ours I mean who else would have built them you know what I mean we're the people that are here I just find this fascinating because I don't know I feel like we are um we're on the we're on the edge of either being duped by a lot of stuff and pulled way off track like this could end up being Right. Or discovering things that completely change everything we think we knew like this could be.

It's just an exciting time to be alive. Yeah. Wow. That's a good way. I like the optimism. That's an optimistic way of looking at it. I mean, because you're right, I think we're also going to have a lot of things that are false and a lot of things that are misstic, I think it's already happening, you know, that are misleading people. You said to me when we got off the air a minute ago about the.

about the monologue I just did about the, you know, about being so mushy inside right now. I'm seeing these things that are just heroic and I'm just like, that is so beautiful. And I think it's because I'm starting to believe in the human American spirit again in action. I haven't lost my faith in that. I lost the faith that we could ever be those people again. And I'm starting to see it again and believe it again. And I think that's why I'm getting mushy a lot.

Because it's taking me by surprise. Yeah. And you said you thought it's because it's real. I wonder if, I don't know for sure, but it seems like part of it is there's so much fake right now. Like, you know, I don't know, maybe it's me because I follow a lot of these like, you know, AI video things. Like I'm fascinated by the technology and what they're going to come up with, right?

And so I see so many like these videos that are perfect. but still there's still a little of that uncanny valley weirdness in it. But also like they're not real. These photos, they look incredible, but they're not real. And so much of this, now I'm starting, this is starting to happen to me, I'm starting to see videos online that are incredible. And I'm starting to think they're not real, right? Like I'm starting to just doubt them like that. That's too many things when happened at the exact right times.

There's no way. And I'm starting to think that those are AI generated. And I'm starting, like, there's this now skepticism of what I'm seeing. I mean, you've talked about this forever. I mean, like, one of the first shows we ever did together was you talking about this exact thing at some point. Like in the 90s. Yeah. Yeah.

And you thought I was like, I mean, because you really didn't know me back then. I mean, that had to. No, no, no, because you didn't know me back then and nobody was talking about this. You had to have thought, okay, maybe, but that sounds nice. Yeah. It seemed like it could never come to that. Yeah. Where, like, you wouldn't be able to believe your own eyes.

And it's interesting, it's almost the reverse of the way I initially understood what you were saying. Because back then, I think my thought was the technology would come along so well that you'd look at something and it would, you'd be able to, like, things that wouldn't be able to be believed would be able to be created, which obviously is something we've seen now, but also saw during CGI. Yeah, yeah, yeah. like, you know, in movies. Now it's almost the reverse. I'm doubting the real things. Real stuff. I know.

I know. Me too. And it's just like I just assume incredible real experiences are fake. And I'm... Stu, I am so knee-deep in AI right now. Right. I'm working with some really amazing people on some projects. I'm so deep in it that...

And I'm... I decided the other day, I need the best AI ethicist. around me. I need to talk to them because the deeper you go, the more you say, well, how do I verify that? How do I know that's true? How can I ensure people know this is true and original? Just for me, I'm trying to, I'm trying to figure out things that, that I want, you know, in my life to be able to navigate in this really weird world. Yeah. And what is? coming is just phenomenal. I mean, if you think about all like stuff like UFO videos, you know, Bigfoot videos, things

of that nature. Yeah. How many people believe the, a lot of them from the terrible, terrible, terrible. Is that imagine. These are not. Yeah. They're going to get more and more perfect, more and more real. I mean, at this.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. That is its flaw. Right now. Right now. Yeah. You're right. Once AI understands, once people understand. It cannot be perfect because people are not perfect.

Right now, it's all too perfect. And that's where you're like, you said it earlier. Yeah. No, all those things. It's too perfect. The people are too perfect. The things they're saying is too perfect. They have to reintroduce flaws to really con you.

And they will. And they will. They will. You know, like one of the things I always think of when the UFO videos come out there was like, look at this. and like they can never quite get it in frame for you, for enough for you to see it. Yeah. It's always out of frame.

It's always blurry at the moment you want to see it, right? Like, that's how it always was in the old school fakes, right? They can, they can start, like, right now, the AI fakes are, you can actually see perfectly. Like, is that a window in the spacecraft and a little great guy waving? What is that? No, you can still tell. Yeah. I don't know when or if that human, there's something about humans that can look at that stuff and still detect it.

You know, I don't know how long that lasts. I have, I have good news for you. I think on the human to human level, it's getting better. Have you heard the, do you know who that TikTok influencer is, Harry Sisson? I don't know, but I've seen him in the news the last couple days. Yeah. Okay, so he's in the news. You might have seen him.

He looks like he's 12. He was hanging out with, you know, Biden and Kamala and on the campaign trail. And he was just one of these influencers that, you know, Obama could, I mean, Harris and Biden could just do no wrong. No wrong. Yeah. One of many. Yeah. Okay.

Well, there's some things that are coming out about him. And I don't know if they're true or not. It's kind of like the pyramid thing. Could be. May not be. The system has to play. layout, but what's being kicked around now about him, to me, everyone's missing the point on this story.

And let me give it to you here and just let me take a quick break in and come back on the other side. Have you ever taken a look at the American debt clock? Yeah. I mean, just sat there just for a minute as the numbers literally blur by as our debt goes higher and higher and higher. It's enough to make you think, ah, should have picked a different day to stop drinking or sniffing glue.

how's your own debt clock? Numbers are moving slower on yours than the national debt, I'm guessing. Hopefully they are. But a lot of that reason is that the debt you're contending with is high interest debt. So every month, you're paying mostly on the interest and little to nothing on the principle. It's exactly what we're doing as a federal government. And that can't happen. It'll just get worse and worse and worse.

More Glenn Beck coming up. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. All right, so let me tell you about Harry Sisson. He's 23 years old. He's a Gen Z TikToker.

He's a Democratic advocate. Now, he's facing really serious allegations. people are saying, you know, women are coming out and saying, you know, he has, he conned me into sending him explicit photos and pressured them into sex acts and everything else. So it's a firestorm online. And reason why is he's, he's been with Biden and Kamala Harris and Barack Obama, rising star in the progressive circles. And he is coming out and saying these claims are fake. But here's the interesting part of this, to me at least, because I don't know if any of that is true. It's kind of like the pyramids.

Could all be fake. Could all be fake. But what's interesting is the broader context. There's a pattern with progressives, dating back to the early 20th century, where they hide. The Fabian Socialist, you know, the stained glass window at the London School of Economics

has the sheep or wolf in sheep's clothing. They always hide who they are. He's now being outed as not being gay. Wait, what? Yeah. That's the controversy? The left is now outing him as not being gay. As if that's a betrayal of progressive ideals.

He's hiding behind, you know. No, is that really the truth? That is. That's the controversy? Well, no, that's one of the controversies. Yeah, that he is now looking, that he's being outed for not being gay. That just is the craziest thing. Oh, my God.

Which tells me. that people have had enough of the fake stuff. It shows me the left just has no idea what their identity is anymore, that they are absolutely imploding. But there are some people who are saying, wait a minute, you're a fake. You're not even gay. One of the biggest crimes going on right now is called house stealing.

This is something it sounds kind of made up. I wonder if, you know, if the Trump administration's had to dive into this stuff yet. I'm sure they have as, you know, Cash Patel is taking over the FBI.

So when your friend say, they can't do that, let's look at what the law actually said that was passed by Congress.

It will blow your mind. We'll get into that in just a second. Also, last night, I did a show on Ukraine and NATO. And I'm at this place now that I'm not sure where I stand on NATO. It's one of these things that is changing in me. I'm not sure if you're, If Europe continues to go down the road, they're going down.

They in, you know, I don't know how long, but they will eventually be a failed state ripe for the picking from somebody. And they keep going down this road and they're going to be Islamic states with nuclear weapons. Just as it stands now, Germany is saying we don't have anything in common anymore because J.D. Vansgate of a speech about freedom of speech? What? I don't understand it. So I laid the case out before and against, but I also got into Ukraine and Russia and the history of all of that. We have the special envoy to Ukraine appointed by President Trump to negotiate and engage directly with the Ukrainian leadership. He's joining me here in a second.

Joining me now, General Keith Kellogg, the current U.S. Special Envoy to Ukraine appointed by President

Trump. Trump, he is retired lieutenant general with a distinguished military career. He has served as the National Security Advisor for former Vice President Mike Pence, Chief of Staff and Executive Secretary for the National Security Council during Trump's first term. Extensive experience in national security and Ukraine-Russia policy. Make him now the key diplomat during this pivotal time for Ukraine. General Kellogg, welcome. Thanks for joining me. It's good to be with you.

Thank you. I want to talk to you because I know we're in the middle of negotiations and there's some things that you just, just can't say. But let's talk about the things that you're comfortable in sharing. We're in the middle of this ceasefire now. Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire. Can you talk a little bit about how we got there? I mean, Biden, it didn't even seem like they were attempting to do that. And we just kept doubling down on things that were making it worse. What's the difference in Trump's approach and what Biden was. doing and what was that leading us into and and what is this hopefully leading us to what's the

difference goes back to when president biden in a press conference said a minimal incursion of ukraine by the russians may be okay well he didn't understand that a minimal incursion by Putin is significantly different in his interpretation and my interpretation and Putin's interpretation jedd invasion and then what happened is that Biden didn't even pick up the phone didn't even talked to Putin in over three years, kind of just said, I'm not going to talk to the guy. And then he made the comment, as long as it takes, whatever it takes, we're going to support Ukraine. Well, Glenn, that's not a strategy. It's a bumper sticker. So you basically had a proxy war going on, and the president of our United States refused and even address one of the protagonists in the war,

the protagonists in the war. The difference between President Trump and President Biden is night and day. President Trump believes quite deeply, and he's absolutely right in this. The war wouldn't have started if he was president. But he believes in personal discussions, personal negotiations. And that's the reason I knew that this was going to succeed when he wanted to be in this war. Because he was going to pick up the phone and call Putin, which he did. He was going to call Zelensky, which he did. He was going to call everybody.

From Xi to Kim Jong-un, whoever it is, he's always had ability to do it. Because he believes if you don't talk to your adversaries, or your allies or your friends, then you've got a major issue happening because nobody really understands where you're coming from. So President Trump said he's going to end this war. He has now established himself as basically the interlocutor between both Russia and Ukraine,

and it's been day 58. And we're already talking to it. We're already a partial ceasefire. We want to get to a comprehensive ceasefire. There's always been the plan. And then after a comprehensive ceasefire, you go to a full peace discussion or peace treaty, whatever you want to call it. And I think I was on a television network, I was on Fox network, and made the comment that I think you could

have within the first hundred days. I still believe that. So you have a chance to have this, the longest war in Europe since World War II, with hundreds of thousands of casualties on both sides, and in a relatively near term. And it's all because of one person. It's because the guy who knows how to make deals, the guy who wrote the of the deal, Donald J. Trump, and he's going to bring it that way. And he put a great team together. He's got Steve Whitkoff, an incredibly talented individual running the Russia lane, and I'm running the Ukraine lane, and he's got a great team behind him with Secretary Rubio or Pete Heggsats from Mike Walls, you know, you name it. It's just a great team. And we're all pushing hard.

We're on Trump time, Glenn. And you know and I both know, Trump time is much different than anybody else's time. Oh, yeah, I know. Let me ask you, because I had family members, call me about this. I have so many people that I know that don't necessarily agree with me. When that argument was Zelensky and Trump happened in the Oval, everybody said, my gosh, he's going to get us into World War III. And I said, he's negotiating. Read the art of the deal. First of all, that's kind of the stuff that Zelensky does. He tries to try it in the court of public opinion. And Trump's just not intimidated by that. But he had to be tough on them, not as a way to say, I'm going to give favors to Russia, but he had to get them to the table and then go to

Russia. And now he's tough on Russia. And you don't hear anybody saying, oh, well, he's being so kind to Ukraine. He's a master negotiator. Tell me about that moment in the in the Oval, if you can. Yeah, let me give you a little bit of background on that because what happened is that morning, and we met with President Zelensky at the Hey, Adams Hotel right across from the White House, and we said to him, look, we kind of stage manage. This is what you want to do. You want to come in and talk to the president. You want to, he'll bring the press in.

You want to thank you the American people for giving $176 million of taxpayer money to support you. And then when you were going to have a lunch and then you have a press conference and you exit to the state left, and it's all good. Well, he came in. He didn't listen to what we told him. him to do. And he came in, and he started the lecture to the president. And we told him before, you are dealing with a different person. This gentleman is not Joe Biden, okay? And the president let him go. And it was like, and I was standing right behind the vice president, right behind

Secretary Rubio. And I was one of those, you know, wanted to reach over and say, you clearly didn't listen to what we said. President let him go. And then when he said, you need to kind of pick aside, I knew that was the end state. And basically it turned it. He just blakes. He blew up everything. And the president wasn't going to budge. And I think that is the first time that President Zelensky found out that he was going to try to play to the American people through the American press who were in the Oval Office. And he was dealing with a guy who knew the press better than he needed.

And as the president said publicly afterwards, heck, that was even better than one of the apprentice shows. And it really was. And we said to him, we hold the ace. You know, and the president said, we hold all the cars. We said, fine. We're not going to give you more aid. cut it off. Okay, that just, that was basically hitting him upside the head with a two by four. So, and you realize what you've just done. And, and, and they went to the Roosevelt room,

and then they wanted to come back in. The president said, nope, thank you very much, but you're done. And we escorted him out of the White House. That was amazing. It was done. But that kind of got their attention. And so what happened is, intervening a couple of weeks, everybody kind of, not everybody, but the Ukraine just kind of understood what had happened. and it generated a call, obviously, between President Putin two days ago and then President Zelensky yesterday, and the call could not have gone better. It was a great call, and there was a lot of great discussion. It went for well over an hour.

Which one? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Is that the Zelensky call? Yeah, the Zelensky call. See, there is an hour when it's almost comparative in time because Putin's call went almost two hours. Remember, Putin uses a translator. So that takes a double time. Yeah.

And then Zelensky's phone. in English. And so it was basically a comparative call and spends time and effort. And it was just a good call. And he had the team around him. He, the president. Zolinski was in Finland. He was with President Alex Stubb, who was a great friend of ours, by the way. He actually went to school in Furman. It actually plays a goal for the president. So he was there supporting, and I think we're all in a good shape. And this week, we're putting what we call technical teams in what are called proximity talks in Saudi Arabia where both sides come in. They're kept in separate rooms. And you basically say,

okay, what is your terms? And you turn to the other side. What are your terms? You kind of do, it's basically shuttle diplomacy between rooms in Riyadh. And that's where they're at. And then we see where we can get to to a comprehensive ceasefire. And that'll be the first step towards the end of this war. And I think that's pretty fast. The president said to me at one point, and I'm sure he has said this publicly as well. that, you know, he wasn't really prepared to be, he thought he was, but it was such a different job the first time around. And, you know, where everybody on the view was hugging him just months before saying

you're the greatest guy and you're our good friend. And then all of a sudden, all the knives come out. He had to be stunned in that. And then after 2020, he took the time to really analyze and prepare and put the right people around him. And the one thing that is stunned me, stunned me, is I think he's one of the most well-read presidents we have had. And I don't mean book smart stuff. I mean, you could ask him any question and he knows it down to the very smallest detail.

I found it, am I misreading him or have you found that to be true? No matter what you ask him about, he knows it to the, granular level. One of the inside stories on the fact that when you fly with him, you know, when you fly with him, he always has a stack of newspapers and from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Financial Times, and he reached through him, and he's very, very knowledgeable. We were sitting in the Oval during the first terms, and he was talking about, during the first term, and he was talking about the aircraft carriers and the new aircraft carriers coming out,

the new Ford class and what the problems were with the forward class. And he said, yeah, there's, you know, and he said, where did he get this from? I know. They got out of Forbes magazine. And you're absolutely right. A couple of things is when the first administration, you're absolutely right. Because nobody, there's no book out there are presidents for dummies. You learn on the job.

Right. It starts. And I mean, he learned so fast in that job. But nobody is really prepared for a presidency. Remember, President Trump, before he came to Washington as a president of United States, I don't think he spent a night in Washington, D.C., ever. So he came here and kind of came into it, met Obama. And frankly, I don't think he was well served by some of the people he brought in early on.

That's an understatement. Yeah. And so he basically, you know, look, we were under battle. We were under siege before the inauguration. I mean, I was with him on day one. And he was doing, you know, they wanted to impeach him before he even became president. So we had to fight those battles. Okay, fast forward to now.

Oh, yeah. He, when he went out to Marlago and he said he's going to run again, he prepared and he put a team around him, a really smart team, and he thought their way through it. You know, on day one of the first administration, he signed one executive order. I think on the first day of this administration, he signed over, I think it was 47 on day one. He signs him every day. So we were rocking and rolling, ready to go. To say he is prepared is a classic understatement, and a difference between nine day. but that is the beauty.

And you know something, this is one of those, you almost want to sit back and think about it. In a way, I'm glad there was a four-year break. Yeah, me too. Because it allowed him to really reflect

on the first administration what a second administration would look like, the good, the bad, the right people who have around them. And that's the reason why you're seeing him. Do you talk about a man of action? I mean, I said, we're a day 59,

and, heck, it feels like 59 years. Oh, I know. It's amazing. Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, if you could hold for one minute, And I want to ask you about something. I think something that people don't understand on what Trump is doing is he is changing the course of the last 90 or even 100 years. And he's changing it.

And that's what's making everyone uncomfortable. But if you could comment on that, I'd love to hear your thoughts. We'll do that in 60 seconds. Right now, there is a big push in this country to make America healthy again. And when you think about that, probably the first thing that comes to mind is, eating healthier and exercising more. That never comes to my mind, but eating, well, eating comes to mind. Okay, good health, really important.

But what else can be done to promote good health? Getting rid of inflammation in your body. We all know about the aches and pains that you've been dealing with. Every started getting a little older or maybe you have an injury or something. Most of that pain is coming from inflammation in our joints. It causes our pain and it causes a lot of our disease. So the good news is there's a way to fight it. it's a healthy way. It's a natural way. It's called relief factor developed by doctors to help your body root out inflammation and get rid of pain.

I was skeptical. I mean, more than skeptical. I just didn't think it would work until I started taking it myself and I can tell you from personal experience, a game changer. They were advertisers on the show for a long time, but I never took them and I wasn't going to endorse it and I didn't think it was win or I didn't think it would work. And my wife made me start taking it. And I called them and said, I want to endorse your problem. because it's changed me. 1995, three-week quick start, less than a dollar a day. Call 800 for relief. 800, the number four relief or relief factor.com. 10 seconds, station ID.

So, General, I don't want to push you into a place where NATO and everything else. But I think that Donald Trump is in every way. He's not a bull in the China shop because there's no thinking to the destruction there. he is perceived as a bull in a china shop because no one has had the guts to say, wait a minute, let's zero set everything. Well, let's stop doing things because this is the way they've been done for the last 70 years. Let's find out if it's worth doing those things anymore, and that's the best approach. Is that what he's doing with this and almost everything else that he's doing with global relationships? Yeah, I'm going on it is. And here's why. And again, not enough people give them credit for being really, really smart and really well-read.

I mean, and I'm going to back my window real quick because, for example, just a quick example, we were in the Oval Office the other day, and he showed us a picture of somebody, and it was President Harrison, and they looked around the room and said, what's the story on President Harrison? Do you all know? And most people looked around in the rooms and no, and most people don't realize he was the ninth president, but only the last of 32 days. And President Trump knew all about the presidents in the room. The picture he's out on it looked really great. And the reason why I say that is because he's fully studied everything he's talking about and where he's going to. And his instincts, Glenn, are off the charts. I told him that the first administration. I said, I used to watch him make decisions. And I said instinctively he knows what to do.

And that is based on his experience. And he's totally afraid to operate off of his instincts. And a lot of people don't do that. They're afraid of it. They don't know where to go. because when you go off your instincts, you may not be 100%, but you're pretty well in the ballpark.

And that's where he goes to. And I see it in everything he does. And I've seen people try to challenge him and he basically blows him out of the water. I used to tell people, before you open your mouth, make sure you know what you're talking about, because he does.

And I think he's set up some really, he has a view of America, what he wants America to look like, and I think he's right. And when you're seeing, he calls him, he calls them a lot of times 80, 20 issues. that are, you know, 80% of the American people want that.

20% of the other people don't, but you read about them a lot, much more than the 80%. And he's playing with the 80%. That's the reason why he's the popularity is so high right now. That's the reason why he's able to drive these issues going forward. And that's also why he surrounding himself with people who believe like he does. The first administration, that didn't happen. Some people said, well, we recommend that person A, and he picked person A and it was a wrong fit. Everybody's got going right or the right people, because they're all basically with him.

the guy is back and moved to the same direction. And you can absolutely tell. And it is breathtaking to watch. General Keith Kellogg, he is the current U.S. Special Envoy to Ukraine. I wish you guys the best of luck on this. I really think the president is, it's a masterclass to watch him on what he's doing. And hopefully it will all work out. Thank you, General.

I appreciate everything your guys are doing. God bless. Thanks, back. Bye-bye. All right. Back in just a second with some of the other news of the day and what it all means to you. This is Glenn Beck. So, you know, we've all worked our whole life with an aim towards eventually retiring someday.

And you've been careful with your money when it was time to be careful. You saved when you were supposed to save, sacrificed when the bigger picture demanded it. In other words, you played by the rules. You always have. And that's good. but what happens when the economy or our politicians don't play by the rules? What happens when the economy suffers because the people we put in Congress are screwing everything up?

It may not be your fault when things are crashing down around us, but that'll be cold comfort when your dollar is worth less and less and less and eventually your retirement is gone.

This is way off the core. I'll set this up some other time. But Kellogg, the original Kellogg, crazy. Really? Oh, crazy, crazy, crazy. He was like, you know, he's kind of crazy like, You know, it would be good is if you shove corn flakes up your butt and do an animal with corn. I mean, it was like that kind of crazy, you know, real health.

Really? Yeah. Well, he was in Battle Creek recently. Yeah. And at the Kellogg Arena. And they have a picture of all the old cereals that they've created. Looking at some of the things they tried, that doesn't surprise me that he might have been a little out there. Oh, yeah.

He was a little out there. But isn't it interesting that Kellogg's, their competition is General Mills, and here he is, General Kellogg, spy? I'm just saying. That's what I'm here for to connect the dots, Stu. I'm asking Brock about that right now. Okay. All right.

Last night, we did a program on NATO and Ukraine and what happened in Ukraine. And it's really so important. I gave an episode that you just have to watch. If you really want to know why I'm so passionate about the end of U.S. AID and the deep stabbing of the State Department and just clearing out those floors of the people who have been there forever, you'll understand when you see, you know, what's been happening with those organizations, even over the last 20 years. And we've been talking about it for a long time.

But I don't know if you know the history of Nick, because I was surprised. We started doing our history. on NATO and looking at it, there's something that jumped out at me, and let's see if it jumps out at you. Cut nine, please. I haven't completely given up on NATO, but I really think it's probably the right thing to do, but let's take this journey together. So that's a critical, radical statement. That's nuts. Get out of NATO. Well, is it nuts? Or is it that sometimes furniture becomes such a part of a room that you barely notice its function anymore until somebody messes with it or tries to rearrange the room and you're like, you can't move that there.

That chair has always been over here. Is NATO that chair? Is it become such a fixture over the last 75 years that we don't really notice it anymore? Nobody uses it. I mean, it's just, it's worthless. Let me take you back to the chalkboard because I think most Americans don't know much about NATO other than a passing reference to it in their school history books. That is, if they taught you American history.

And I want to take you through how we got to this point, because the, NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Why does it matter? Does it even still matter? Here's how it started. Go back to 1948. Europe is a pile of rubble from World War II. Germany has been divided into four different zones here.

You had the French zone. That's where all the lazy people who said, I surrender. They went there. Then you had the United States, Soviet Union, and Great Britain. So it was carved up. And inside the Soviet zone, it's also divided into four zones controlled by each of the allies. The Soviets decide to choke the other allies out of Berlin with a total blockade of the western zones for the city. So the U.S. and Britain respond with the Berlin airlift.

It is one of, I think, one of the greatest things we ever did. It was round-the-clock planes dropping supplies over the western half. of Berlin. That kept two million Berliners alive and free. The Berlin airlift involves more than 277,000 flights over 15 months, and it sends a clear defiant message to Moscow. Lights the fuse for the Cold War, but says, we're standing. April, 1949, months before the airlift ended, representatives from 12 European nations plus Canada because I don't want to leave Canada out. I mean, they're cute and everything, but they're kind of like Europe's understudy, you know. They get together in Washington, D.C., and they form the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

The idea is really simple. We all band together for protection and help stop the spread of Soviet communism across Europe. We don't want to sit on our hands as, you know, Poland is invaded by another, you know, Hitler. or this case the Soviets. Now the key to the whole treaty is what's called Article 5. This says an attack on one NATO member is an attack on all NATO members. It's a pinky swear. It's the glue that holds NATO together. No matter if we like France or not, it doesn't matter. If somebody attacks them, we all go in together. It's what keeps more and more European nations joining NATO over the next 75 years. And it is what makes Ukraine. desperate to join. Now, just after that, I go into, do you know that NATO has lost a major NATO ally for several decades? Did you know that in the 1960s, France said, oh, there's too much winning here for us.

It is too strong. I mean, we might win the war if this remains like this. So we are out. they got out of NATO in I think the 60s all the way to the early 2000s. I didn't know that. So when Donald Trump says maybe we should reevaluate NATO, why not? Why not? And I'm not saying it's the right thing to do yet.

I don't know myself. I know where I'm leaning, but I'm not solidly there. And so I gave four reasons for and against NATO. Here they are. There are four reasons that. the pro-NATO crowd likes to give that says we should be there. First, collective defense enhances U.S. security. It does. They point to NATO's Article 5, the Allied response to the 9-11 attacks. Sure, okay, that is good. Second, shared infrastructure and pooling military resources. Again,

they say having access to military bases across Europe extends our reach and helps overall cost-effectiveness. That's true. They also point to regular military exercises. enhancing our overall readiness. Okay. Third, economic stability and trade. They say NATO secures the European economy, which benefits the U.S. business. Okay, you're getting a little sketchy. Fourth, deterring Russia. They say the presence of thousands of U.S. troops in Europe helps keep Russia from steamrolling its neighbors. But it really hasn't. Has it? I mean, the only one they steamrolled into and we did anything about it is Ukraine. And I'm not sure it's because about Russia. I think there's something else that we're all missing here on this war with Ukraine. All right. Now,

I'll give you four reasons against continuing to be part of NATO. First, disproportionate spending on Europe's defense. In 2014, NATO members were supposed to increase their defense spending to 2% of GDP. As of last year, still only 23 out of the 32 members had reached that target. Why should we carry that load? Honestly, you carry that load or you don't carry the load. Second thing, mission of NATO is outdated, okay? It's not that Russia's not a threat because it is, but it's not a Soviet Union kind of threat. The U.S. has China now to contend with. Our security threats are a lot more global right now. Third, being tied to Article 5. It made more sense during the Cold War. Now listen, if the NATO lovers and Joe Biden and everybody else would

have had their way, they would have made Ukraine a NATO member. Now, yes, maybe that would have stopped Russia from going in, but that is why Russia said they went in because we were going to make them a NATO member. I don't know, which I don't know. Would it make us more sense? safe? I just know I wouldn't want to send my son or daughter over to Europe to fight for Ukraine. It doesn't mean anything bad about the Ukrainian people or anything. They deserve to be free. Russia's the bad guy. But are you going to send your son over for Ukraine? Because I can't imagine they would send our kids over here to, I don't know, battle the mighty French Canadians coming over. I don't know. But Article 5 could easily tie up the U.S. in a conflict that doesn't directly

threaten our national security. But is that wishful thinking because that's what we said in World War I? You see how this plays out? Or sorry, World War II. The fourth thing, staying in NATO incentivizes Europe to let us handle their defense. I don't want to handle their defense. They are way too dependent. It's time for Europe to move out of the house and get a job. Now, is this, is this an unreasonable thing? Was that unreasonable? It's a reasonable conversation to have. Right. And do you think I'm being fair on both sides? These are the four reasons. Yeah, I mean, you could probably detect a little bit which way you're leading. But I'm not, yeah, but I'm not giving, I'm not giving bogus reasons.

No, these are their arguments being made on both sides of the agreement. So I tweet right after the show, it's time for America to have a real debate about whether we should leave NATO. Yes, collective defense likely enhances our security, but why are we paying disproportionate amounts for Europe's defense, especially when they have admitted they don't share our values such as freedom of speech. Jonah Goldberg says, Jonah Goldberg says, this is some shameful, Glenn.

Shameful crap. Shameful crap. Okay. What is the, just questioning? Is that, I mean, is that,

did you read, he should read a great book. It was called, um, liberal facts. His book, by the way, if you don't know that. Oh, is it? Yeah. Well, it's the guy who, the guy who wrote it was called Jonah Goldberg. I don't know if that Jonah Goldberg. Believe it's the same person. Has been replaced by a pod person, but I just don't understand it. And I like Jonah. I really have always liked Jonah.

Yeah, and I don't think he's been. I don't know what happened to him. I don't think he's been inconsistent on the point of supporting NATO. I mean, he's. Why is it shameful for me? that was shameful? I don't know why he... I mean, the tone of that makes no sense to me. I mean, his point of supporting NATO he's been consistent on as long as I've been aware of him. Right. And he might believe it.

And he might be right. I don't know. I'm... Right. I'm looking at... I said right at the beginning of the show. Look, I'm not going to try to convince you one way or another. I'm playing this out in my own head right now.

And I don't know where I'm going to end up. So let's just explore together. You want to explore. Yeah. What is NATO? Should we be in it? Let's do that together. That's not shameful.

No, it's not shameful. There's no. That's reason. No reason to swear. Language, please, boys and girls. I think, you know, I mean, look, Jonah certainly gets a harsh treatment by many online and on the right. And but not you. I feel like, you know, there's an issue here where people just kind of internalize like,

this stuff and wind up turning their lives into social media responses. And I don't think that's the way to handle it. So speaking of that, here's Ricky. She is our, oh no. She's the executive producer and television. And she said,

did you listen to the clip? Four arguments for and four arguments against. It's really not that hot of a take. Yeah. I like your dog photos. Maybe go back and put the dog photos as Rob Eno, all hail Raytheon and unending war and the bankruptcy of America so Europe can put people in jail for freedom of speech. I love you, Rob. Thank you.

There's just a lot of people that were going back and forth on this, but I don't understand why we can't have that conversation. We should. I mean, because I think there's, look, I can see elements of both sides that make sense on that one. I mean, and part of me like, you know, a point, and I think Jonah has made this exact point before when it comes to the funding. There's an argument to say that we don't necessarily want to encourage Europe to stand on their own defense-wise because we've seen what's happened in the past when they've built up their military, right? Like, I don't necessarily want Germany to be like, hey, let's build our military. That's why France actually left. Really?

Because we said, Germans, you have to stand up on your own two feet. it's time for you to build a military of your own. And the French were like, no, that's a really bad idea. There's an argument there. Let's send them popovers. Yeah. Send them a croissant. Let's not send them guns.

You know, if there's certain people, I want my son to stand on his own in life, Germany? Eh, I'm not so sure. Right. It is the anti-France. All right, let me tell you about American financing. Remember when you're saving up for that first house? Remember all the late night talks with your spouse back in that cramped little apartment where the two of you just started your own family.

Remember, you weren't going to make any mistakes. You weren't ever going to use your credit cards. We weren't going to rack up high interest debts. Remember how everything was going to go exactly as planned? Yeah. Remember the night you woke up and you and your wife and you were like, good God, nothing has gone as planned. Remember, when you realize that,

you are capable of getting into debt and being overwhelmed by it. And you can also not be overwhelmed. and get out of it. Take a deep breath. I want you to call the salary-based mortgage consultants at American financing and let them help you. Just take a couple of minutes. You just share, you're going to be surprised at how many things they can do. They can literally help you save $1,000, $1,000 a month. Most, on average, most of the people who call from this audience, because we track it, are saving just over $800 a month. That would help you, wouldn't it?

because I just think he was so misguided on what he did. But maybe that's just me. But these other judges, thinking that they have the power to control the presidency of the United States and the way the media and, quite honestly, people like Justice Roberts, are allowing them to get away with it and to say, well, they do. No, they don't. No, they don't. And I'm going to give you very clear examples of it. I'm going to show you how meaningless the judges were in the past and should be, again, not the Supreme Court, not the Supreme Court.

But when it comes to these district judges trying to tell the president or Congress what they should or shouldn't do or can't do and try to legislate from the bench, that's not a part of the American. system and it has judges need to stand up against it they need to stand up to their own and say hey that's not what we do um i'm going to give you uh some information on that also what's happening to Tesla I mean uh you see the girl that was running with Kamala Harrison what she said yesterday oh I mean that's a guy isn't it Constitution wealth is a registered investment advisor The administration does not imply a certain level of skill or training.

All investing involves risk, including the risk of loss. This is a paid

endorsement, and Glenn is not a client of the firm. All right, let me tell you about Constitution Wealth. Far too long in this country, progressive ideology. Everything that's followed in its wake has held far too much sway over the business sector. These companies have fallen under the seductive sway of things like ESG and DEI and they were public partner public private partnerships and it's horrible. Trump is doing his best to root it out, but this didn't get there overnight and it's not going to go away in four years. It's just not. We have to do our part. This is why when you're investing, you want to partner up with Constitution wealth because it'll be nearly impossible for you to know what every company you invest in is up to. But Constitution wealth is great at that. And as an investor,

You can influence the public policies like DEI, CRT, ESG by exercising shareholder proxy voting and reducing your investments in companies that don't align with your values. It's the right way to do it. If you'd like to join other patriotic citizens by aligning your investments with conservative values, go to constitutionwealth.com slash blaze. All right. Hello, you sick freak. Welcome to the program.

I'm glad you're here. It is Thursday. I want to talk to you about Tesla. I want to talk to you about the judges and the craziness that's happening with our judges all across America and what the president's going to do with the DOE, the Department of Education. This is a really important one. And we went back and we actually read the founding documents of the DOE. This is when Congress passed a law to say the Department of Education is a thing now.

Well, what did they create? this is going to blow your mind. You want to talk about paying attention to the founding documents. What are the founding documents of the DOE? Holy cow. We'll share that with you in just a second. First, we tell you about the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. It is important to think about the quiet heroes in our country.

Those are the people who maybe kiss their kids, good night, then head out into the darkness to fight crime as a police officer or fight fires. They're the people who give their families one last hug, then march off in their fatigues to some wading plane to be deployed some far-off location where they might be asked to make the ultimate sacrifice for our country values and our freedoms. The Tunnel of Towers Foundation sees these heroes, seeks to honor them by providing mortgage-free homes for the families of the fallen and free smart homes for the wounded. They're doing their part with you and me to give back.

to those who have given so much. The foundation started in the wake of 9-11. Ever since then, it has been going strong. Never forget the sacrifice of our country's greatest heroes. If we want our government to do less, we have to do more, and this is a great opportunity to do more with tunnel to towers. That's T, the number 2T.org. Would you make an $11 a month donation?

T2T.org. So the president is going to, abolish parts of the DOE. But the Department of Education was first put in by Jimmy Carter. And then a few years later, it was set in stone by Congress. So he can't shut it down because Congress established it.

So only Congress can abolish it. However, he can trim the fat. And he's going to cut it by about 50% today, which is a great thing. thing. But as Michaela was doing her homework on this, she said... One of your producers. Yeah, one of

our producers. She said, have you read the Department of Education Organization Act? I'm like... Oh, obviously. Of course I have, but tell me what you found. Listen to this. It is the intention... This is the

founding document passed by Congress. It is the intention of Congress in the establishment of the Department of education to protect the rights of state and local governments and public and private educational institutions. Now, just that are they operating within the law that was set by Congress? Because I think you could convince me that that's a good idea. Yeah, right.

Right. That sounds great. Right. So let me read that again. The intention of Congress in the establishment of the Department of Education to protect the rights of state and local governments. and public and private educational institutions in the area of educational policies and administration of programs and to strengthen and improve the control of such governments and institutions over their own educational programs and policies.

Do you hear the second half of that? To strengthen and improve the local and state administration and, and the control of their own educational programs and policies. That is not what the DOE is doing. No. Not even. Listen to the next line. The establishment of the Department of Education shall not increase the authority

of the federal government over education or diminish the responsibility for education, which is reserved to the states and the local school systems and other instrumentation. of the states. Oh, wait. This is not what the Department of Education is at all. So when they say, well, he can't abolish the Department of Ed, no, they abolished the Department of Ed. The Department of Ed isn't that.

You know, because like you just said, I wouldn't have necessarily a problem with that. I'd have some questions. Oh, yeah. I wouldn't want it. As a direction, protecting local rights over education is exactly kind of what I Exactly right. B, no provision of a program administered by the secretary or any other officer of the department shall be construed to authorize the secretary or any such officer to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over the local curriculum, any program of instruction or administration or personnel of any educational institution, school, or school system. over any accrediting agency or association, or over the selection and content of library resources,

textbooks, or other instructional materials by any educational institution or school system except to the extent authorized by this law. Hmm. I mean, it seems there's all sorts of limitations on it. Oh, yeah. I mean, if you just go back to this, if he just reset it to this,

do you know how many problems would go away? I know. This is really common too. We mentioned the same thing with the Patriot Act. Yep. Like the guy who wrote the Patriot Act, there's a bunch of these things going on. They're like, I can't believe the Patriot Act would do this. And he's like, I wrote it. It's not supposed to do that. Right. That's not what it's supposed to do at all. It always grows. It always grows. It always evades that initial, you know, the limiting principles put on it by the law itself. Which is amazing. When you know that to be true, and our founders knew that, it's amazing how. long our Constitution and Bill of Rights has lasted.

Yeah. You know, the average Constitution's age in the history of the world, the average age of death of a Constitution is 17 years. We're coming up to 250 of our, of our Declaration of Independence. 17 years, that's the average. We are so far out. for it to have lasted this long, knowing that this is what it always happens. They always morph and distort and erase the original founding ideas.

Wow. That's impressive that we're still standing. Yeah. And again, giant chunks of it are still standing. As we've pointed out, many times a lot of it isn't standing other than it's just on paper. But that's the problem, right? We should be back to it and should be trying to focus. our country on following it again.

Right. A little bit more closely. But I am glad that it still stands. Me too. It's just us. And San Marino. There's one other one of their weird country that has a very old constitution. Is that an old like Chevy?

Yeah. The Chevy San Marino. Beautiful car. Yeah, beautiful. V8. Yeah, it's great. Yeah. Here's the other thing that we need to talk about.

And that is these judges. I'm going to get into Tesla on this in a second. And that's equally as important. But let me talk again about the justices and the judges on what is happening. The judge has ordered to restore USAID worker access and forbids the shutdown because it's likely against the Constitution. Well, that's not your job. The Obama appointed judge trying to stop USAID shutdown donated thousands of dollars to the Democrats. The judge who blocked the key executive order has a long progressive activism history.

I mean, we're having these judges get involved in everything. So what are judges supposed to do? What does the Constitution actually say? I want to take you to a football field. Glenn, don't do it. I see, don't go into sports. Let's just take you out to a football field for you for a second. Oh, here we go.

Prepare yourself. Grutter loins. Is that like the grid? loins? Yeah, there you go. So let's say the ref is out on and he decides that that touchdown's worth 10 points. The clock should be kept running because I think so. It's most likely that it should be running right now. That is what's happening in our court system.

That's judicial or referee activism. They're just making stuff up. judges that are stepping beyond their lane and making up the rules instead of just calling the game as written. That's what judges are supposed to do. They're supposed to look at things as written and then say, no, sorry, guys, that's the law. Not, you know what? You know what we should do. I should also be able to eat any kind of candy that I want.

And you're a defendant. you need to bring me candy. Because that's what I want right now. Okay? I'm fat. I've been sitting behind the bench for a long time. You can't even notice my fatness. I am the size of the bench.

Just my upper torso's not. Okay. You can't do that. You don't do that. Now, it's important to realize judges aren't necessarily bad guys. They have a really, really tough job. And I don't like, you know, I really feel bad when you're like, well that's just a bad ruling well maybe but I wasn't in the courtroom how many times have

we done a story where we really want to bash the judge but you weren't in the courtroom you don't know what was said or what they know you've talked about that when you did jury duty yeah I remember because I think from an outsider perspective you could always come to something but when you're there watching it every single day and yeah it's just different sometimes it's different so when they start acting like lawmakers instead of interpreters of that law, then we have a problem. Like a judge should step in now on the Department of Education and say, sorry, gang, I read this section last night.

That's not what's going on here. So the president, yeah, I recommend. I shouldn't. But if it comes into my courtroom, I'm going to show, yeah, well, that's the law. Not my opinion. I might love the department. I might be a full-fledged communist. But I'm here to uphold the law.

That's what Congress said it is, and that's not what it is. Now, sometimes there are problems that Congress needs to step in and say, you're out of here. Sometimes the judges, and it has happened in our history, and it's a very high bar, but I'm not sure. I mean, it should be a high bar like it is with impeachment of the president, but it shouldn't be off the table. Okay. And here's why. If you go back to the founding fathers, they thought this through. It's kind of crazy.

It's not like, hey, we're going to do a new constitution in Iceland. Tweet us your ideas. In Federalist 78, Alexander Hamilton says judges should not have life tenure. And if they do, only if they're on good behavior. Well, what does that mean? Well, he saw judges as the least dangerous. branch because it doesn't have, it doesn't control the purse strings and it doesn't have an army. Okay. So he's like, you know, I mean, if they're on good behavior, just let them go.

Just let him go. But he also knew that judges weren't perfect. They do go rogue. So he knew that they would twist the constitution and what they were doing into something that it's not. And that good behavior clause is not just for decoration. It's, it's the light. of the people to stop the judges that have gone bad. Then in Federalist 81, Hamilton doubles down on this. Judges can be impeached if they abuse their power. How do they abuse their power? They step out of line of interpreting the law and start writing laws.

And he's very clear. Congress has the muscle to check them. You know, it's like giving the principle the power to fire a teacher who's, you know, teaching kids the alphabet, you know, backwards and mixed up. No, you know, I appreciate it. We're not doing that, okay? We hired you to teach the alphabet. So has this ever been done?

Has this ever been exercised? Yeah. I talked to a federal judge last night about this and he's like, Glenn, Luster versus Georgia. And I'm like, oh, man, that's one of my favorite rulings. But I want to ask you to see how much you. know about Luster versus Georgia. It's back in 1832, Supreme Court told Georgia they have to stop messing with the Cherokee nation land.

And I think they also said you can't go in and teach the Cherokee tribes Christianity. Okay. Georgia said, nah, we're going to do that anyway. Now, I am not a fan of the way the Native Americans were treated in history. and I'm not a fan of Andrew Jackson. But he wasn't a fan of the court. And he supposedly said, great, the judge has made his decision.

Now let him figure out how to enforce it. Now, I don't like that. I don't like that. But that's what Federalist 81 was saying. They don't have purse strings. They don't have an army. They have an opinion. But if the other two branches are like,

now we're going to do it anyway. Again, I don't like that, but that's only, that can only apply to when the judges step out of their lane. When you're an activist judge, go ahead, you call your army. But when they're in their lane

and they're saying, no, this is the law, this is how it's written, then you don't say, nah, you go ahead and try to enforce that. Because then it's a breakdown. But it's just as much of a breakdown. if they legislate from the bench and we do nothing about it. The court doesn't have any tanks, doesn't have any cops. It relies on the other two branches.

It's why that one's the weakest. It has no enforcement. It was never given any enforcement. The founders didn't want it to have any enforcement. Congress has the checkbook. The president has the tanks. The justices have their robes. so they lose.

They're the weakest of them. Now, they're supposed to be able to check each other. So you're out of respect for what each arm is supposed to do. We do listen to the Supreme Court, but wait until you hear what else is in the Constitution that I just, I bypassed. I didn't even know. That goes right to the judges and how important they are, according to the Constitution. not the Supreme Court, these kinds of judges.

Get to it in here in just a second. In this wild and wonderful new world of AI, which will suit and eat us and kill us all. But in the meantime, let's enjoy it. We're watching as everything both online and in the real world is changing right in front of our eyes. And if you haven't noticed it yet, you better catch up because it's changing fast.

And there are going to be some things that get worse. And it probably goes without saying that one of those things that is going to get worse is cybercrime seems pretty obvious. If you think about it, now, you don't have the, we don't have the number of human beings that can watch. So all the human beings that are trying to steal your data and then using bots and everything else to steal everything. You can't employ enough people to stop it, but you can go to the people that are trusted

Okay, so Jackson, when he says, go ahead, let them enforce it.

That shows the limits of their power. but it also hints at the flip side. When judges overreach, they can stir up chaos, you know, if no one's willing to listen. So here's where Article 3 of the Constitution comes in. Remember, Constitution, the rule book. The rule book for the courts. It sets up the Supreme Court. But it also gives Congress the power to create or even shut down the law.

lower federal courts. They have no power over the Supreme Court. They cannot shut it down. They cannot affect it. But Congress can pass a law that says, you guys are done. So don't tell me that you can't impeach them. It's in the Constitution that that is, and the Federalist Papers, that is critical in case they start overstepping the bounds, you can impeach them.

And we should. this is all a ploy. This is no different than the, quite honestly, the terrorism that is happening on our streets with Tesla. Okay, that's terrorism. This isn't terrorism. This is just a whole buttload of lies told by a bunch of people were supposedly, you know, able to trust because they wear a robe. Don't trust them. Don't trust.

Why would you trust the justices when you don't trust the politicians, when you don't trust anybody in Washington? Why are these guys exempt? Okay. I'm not saying I don't want to sow seeds of discord with our, I believe in the Supreme Court. It's the best system that we have. But let's not throw our constitution out for these guys who are sitting in the lower federal courts. You know, Congress can say, hey, we don't need this court anymore. You're banned or you're banned from ruling.

on that. Sorry, you're not talking about that anymore. It's a leash and it's there for a reason. The Supreme Court is untouchable and it's not above impeachment if the justice is start playing king instead a judge. But their job is like a gardener. Their job is to keep trimming the hedges, keep the law neat and tidy. But if they start ripping out the whole garden and planting it with whatever they want, someone's got to fire them. And that is where we are with these lower federal court justices. You, according to the Constitution, Congress and the president are in charge. All right.

We love science, right? I mean, this show is known for its science, many science awards over the years. But let's do a little experiment here. I want you to fill two bowls with your dog's kibble food. one, we're just going to leave it as it is, dry kibble, massively overcooked at the factory, give it a long shelf life. Oh yeah, it's good for capitalism. Boring, basically empty of anything good.

Now, in the second bowl, I want you to put more kibble, but then sprinkle some rough greens on top of it. That's the supplement that I've talked to you about for years now that's created by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black. It gives your dog all the nutrition that he needs or she needs. I want you to set both bowls down in front of your dog. dog and well, I mean, you don't actually have to do this. I swear to you, when you do it, you'll be amazed, but it happens the same time, same way. Everybody who's ever had Rough Greens, they have said, oh my gosh, my dog just jumped.

There's a couple of things I want to talk about. First of all, all these people that are cheering for the demise of Tesla.

This is one of the worst things that, I mean, this should just tell you again who the people are on the left, who you're actually fighting. This is legitimate terrorism. Terrorism. The idea of how you define terrorism is somebody that is trying to force people to see things their way or move and change actions in a political way because of fear that they or someone they love might be harmed. That's what terrorism is. Okay. So what's happening right now? Tesla owners are being doxed. Molotive cocktails are being thrown. You have people spray painting cars. What does that do? What that does, for some, it makes, I mean, Stu and I were talking about it's kind of like, I want to buy a Tesla. I want to buy a Tesla. I want to buy Tesla. Because I'm like, oh, you're not scaring me, dude. You're not scaring me.

Yeah, you want to have that. Because I was thinking about this the other day and had a moment of thought of like, Gosh, if I were to get a new Tesla, the odds of it getting keyed in a parking lot, even in Texas are moderate. And if you were in a blue state, even higher. And that instinct was immediately overwhelmed with that. Screw these people. Like, you want to do it just to put it in their face. Right. And because look who these people are.

Just an amazing. Quickly, glad, before you get on to that, we have come to a place where to put it in liberals' faces, I want to buy an electric vehicle. That's how screwed up our society is right now. Sorry, go ahead. So crazy. Okay. So let me show you something. This is Rick Wilson from Substack.

Look at this. Kill Tesla, save the country. Huh. Elon has a weak spot. Attack. Wow. That is promoting terrorism. Now, who is this guy?

Well, let me give you a flashback. Here's a little bit of audio from him in 2015. Listen to this. And the donor class can't just sit back on the sidelines and say, oh, well, don't worry, this will all work itself out. They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump. And that's a fact. Oh, and they tried.

They tried. He's a political strategist from the left. You know, you might say, well, he didn't mean a literal bullet. Okay, okay. Maybe you didn't, except that's what they tried to do. And let's just take it then on the first one. The first one, he's showing a picture of a Tesla burning. And he's saying, Elon has a weak spot.

Kill Tesla. Attack. That is, again, terrorism. That's what it looks like, gang. That's what it is. So now these facilities all across the country, Las Vegas, Buffalo Grove, San Diego, vandalized, torch, set on fire,

faced with anti-Elon Musk messages. That's crazy because you're on the left. He was your hero about 10 minutes ago. So Pam Bondi comes out and she says these attacks are domestic terrorism. And she, damn right, Pam, damn right. I am so glad to hear you say this. This is not about the broken windows or the spray paint or the burned cars. This is honestly about an evil that has crept into our society.

look what happened. The left cheered when someone gunned down a good guy and an insurance company in the middle of the street because yeah, those insurance companies are bad. That's terrorism. Look what's happening with the doxing. That's terrorism. This is an evil that has crept into our society

that has rejected all of the values that actually made America, America. It's a direct assault on the principles that have held us together. And Americans need to understand what is at stake here. Let me go back in history for just a minute. Let me show you how this has worked out oh so very well in the past. The early 1800s, what do you know about the Luddites? You know anything about the Luddites? When you think, when I say, you're a Luddite, what does that mean? Resistant to technological advance? Isn't that a not? nice way to put that. You know what a Luddite was? A terrorist. They were a terrorist. They smashed

machinery. They set things on fire because they were terrified that the industrial revolution would destroy America's way of life. And so they took it upon themselves to destroy property, machines, and everything else. That's not somebody who's resistant to technology. That's a terrorist. Okay. 1970s. What do you know about the weather underground? These are the people that have been washed clean by the left that are now, like Bill Ayers,

they're part of this system. What did they do? They bombed government buildings. You think the worst attack on our democracy was January 6th. I remind you, look up the weather underground and the bombing of the capital, the Senate. in the 1970s. They were targeting symbols of this system that they hated, and they were trying to cause fear.

Ted Kaczynski. What do you know about Ted Kaczynski? Resistant to technological advance? Yes, and? Unabomber. Yeah, he was a terrorist. He mailed bombs to anyone he thought was advancing technology too far. so he caused people who were in the industry to be afraid hoping that they would say,

I'm not going to do that anymore. So all of these, what do they have in common? Fear of progress, a refusal to adapt, and a willingness to destroy rather than build. Those three things. Everybody's focused on the terrorist thing, but let me state the three things that this story is actually about. One more time. A fear of progress. A refusal to adapt.

And a willingness to destroy rather than build. That's what the left is. That's what's happening with Tesla today. Elon Musk, you can love him, you can hate him. What does he represent? Progress, the future, innovation, a vision of a future that you should love on the left, sustainable. He's ambitious.

He's an entrepreneur. He's a guy that climbs mountains that everybody said were impossible. He's the guy who just said after your beloved president who, you know, had pudding maybe in his head, left the astronauts in space. He's the guy who said, just give me permission. I'll go up and do it. I'll save him. And did.

How can you possibly hate that guy? How? I mean, it's weird because on the left, or I'm sorry, on the right, we're all, at least, I think, we've all been a little skeptical of him. I'm still a little skeptical of him. I love what he's doing right now. I think he's a genius. I think he could be the answer to making sure that we all don't die from the singularity.

but he's also one of the guys bringing the singularity to the four, which I appreciate what he's doing here. I really do, but I don't know. The guy could turn out in 10 years we could go, hey, Elon, what is he saying over there? Yes, and what I want you

to do is put this chip in your forehead. Okay, well, he's the anti-crime. Could be. I don't think he is, but could be. That's we are saying things like that and we're still going, yeah, but you know what? This is a year ago. He's no friend to the conservative movement.

He's for all the global warming stuff. But isn't that guy amazing? Look at what he's building. He's building it to stop global warming, which I don't believe in. But I'm amazed at what he's doing. And I cheer him on. No. You are afraid of any kind of innovation.

And what kind of innovation? Any innovation that isn't innovating in the ways you demand. And notice the ways they demand continue to fail because they're not builders. They know how to destroy. They don't know how to build. And then they say, it's got to be this way. Follow the science. Really?

Follow the science. That's you? Hmm. Doesn't seem like it. Seems like you're more like force. the science and force it into our little box that we want. The vandals are not just attacking his company. They're attacking the idea of progress.

Interesting for progressive, isn't it? They're attacking progress. The progress, not of the cars. The progress of somebody in Washington, D.C., doing the things that you have always said, there's so much waste. We're wasting so much money. We've got to stop these.

endless wars. We agree with you. What happened? Where'd you go? Where did you go? It doesn't align with the progress your leaders, because I think most people now are useful idiots. Your leaders, you refuse to see that your leadership is so corrupt and visionless. And so those leaders are telling their little street warriors set things on fire. And you're expect. You're expecting. just because you don't agree with Donald Trump. You're expected to go along with it. Don't. Don't.

The ethics of what is happening right now, there is moral rot at the core of all of it. There's a loss of values that if you ignore, we will perish. We used to all value the rule of law, the idea that you don't get to take justice into your own hands. The Constitution, our Constitution, your Constitution protects that on all sides. The Bill of Rights isn't just for me, it's for you too.

And we might disagree on everything. But as long as we have that one thing in common, we can live with each other. The Fifth Amendment guarantees that no one can be deprived of property without due process. The First Amendment gives you the right to speak freely to protest. but it doesn't give you the right to destroy. When you destroy a Tesla vehicle, when you spray paint, resist on a factory wall, you're not just breaking the law.

You're rejecting the ethical foundation of a free society. You're saying that your anger, your ideology is more important than anybody else's rights. That's not freedom, my friend. That makes you a tyrant. That makes you a fascist. And where are the values that you use? used to hold so dear. There was a time that we respected the dignity of work, the ingenuity of

the individual. Musk, for all of his flaws, is a man who's building something. Amazing things. Electric cars, space travel, a vision for the future. That used to mean something in America. We celebrated, we shouldn't have, but we celebrated the Edison's. Notice, isn't it interesting, that we tore down because of the power structure which Edison controlled at the time. We time, we destroyed the real talent of the time Nikolai Tesla. And here we are again. Because of the power structure of the left, the progressives, they are destroying this Nikolai Tesla as well. We have lost the value of creation and we have replaced it with a cheap thrill of destruction. You know, real progress comes from really hard work and well-fought.

arguments and and critical thinking and questioning and asking the questions that nobody wants you to ask, but you in America have a right to ask them. It doesn't come from Molotov cocktails. And in that loss, we're losing ourselves. More in a minute. You know, standing up for what you believe, it doesn't always mean you have to be loud, you know, shouting kind of thing. I'll tell you.

Sometimes it's just as simple as just switching your mobile service over to Patriot Mobile. It's those little things like that that places like Verizon go, oh, can we hear them now? Because they're leaving us in droves. Switching your mobile phone service

is the easiest way to take a stand. And it just your switch makes a huge thing. I honestly, I don't know why. I'm still reading these commercials. I really don't. for new listeners that are coming in. I really don't understand why because I'm like, you're going to save money.

You get exactly the same cell service. These people stand behind your values. What is the thing that is stopping you? And if you're like me, probably right now you're thinking, yeah, I know I got to do that. And they just never do it.

I think that's why. But there's no reason to not join them because they have joined us in the fight for everything we believe in. and they've got a great sell service. Same coverage. You will save money every month, and you'll get a free month of service when you switch today.

So call them right now. 972 Patriot, 972 Patriot, or PatriotMobil.com slash Beck. Go there now. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. History has got a warning label. And if we don't read it, we'll live it. Stay sharp, friends. Glenn Beck returns in a jiff.

Welcome to the program. Glenn, it's time to play fun with domestic terrorism. Wait, that doesn't... It's America's favorite game show. It doesn't sound like it. It is. Okay, the term domestic terrorism has to hit these standards. Are you ready for it? Got it.

Okay. Yes. It has to involve acts dangerous to human life that are in violation of the criminal laws of the United States. It needs to appear to be intended to intimidate or curse a civilian population. or to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping. So I think quite clearly the second part of that standard is absolutely clicked, checked off here. All of that. All of that.

All of that. Right. Yeah. All of that. The first part, though, you could make an argument because what we're seeing mostly are cars burning and parking lots, empty buildings being a... You don't know. You don't know.

And I think there's an argument to be made. There, fire, unpredictable thing, right? Yeah, you're firebombing a bunch of cars that are sitting there. You honestly don't know if somebody is in the car. Likely not, but you don't know if somebody dies in that. You are a murderer. Yeah. If somebody's in the building and they're trapped into fire, you are a murderer.

So there's a risk there. It's a real risk. However, I'd add on, from what I understand, stopping global warming is the only thing that's going to save lives. So if you burn a Tesla, you're adding pollution to the atmosphere and taking it a vehicle off the road, therefore contributing to the murder of so many in this country. Oh my gosh. So think of the death. Think of the prison sentences.

This is Glenn Beck.
