Let me tell you again about Rough Greens.
Rough Greens is not a dog food.
It is a supplement that you put on the greens, or sorry, on the dog's food.
They love it.
It's healthy for them.
If it's good for your dog, it's most likely in Rough Greens.
And they want to give you a free bag just to try with your dog.
I mean, well, have your dog try.
You probably shouldn't try it with your dog.
But, you know, who knows?
Who knows?
Crazier things are happening.
Rough Greens.

there's not a lot of days that I get up and I look at the news and I wait I say to myself
oh I can't wait I can't wait to tell you what's going on today uh I don't know maybe it's just
a change in attitude where today's going to be a lot of fun going to be a lot of fun we're
going to start with some good news uh the we have now a U.S.
Senate candidate for the GOP in Ohio.
The reason why this makes me feel so good inside is because I know that Mitch McConnell
hates this guy, which is kind of a batch of a...
That alone is enough for me to go, wait a minute, what's his name?
And he is also, from many of my conservative friends, say he is the most conservative candidate and the one that they want in Washington.
And gosh, darn it, you know who doesn't want him?
Yeah, Mitch McConnell.
Ohio, good job.
We have Bernie Moreno on with us in 60 seconds first.
Let me tell you about relief factor.
If you're having a hard time sleeping, I mean, the sleepless nights begin with one horrible hour.
And then it's the second hour.
And then at some point you think yourself, I'm only going to get three hours of sleep.
Grab your relief factor.
If you're having a hard time sleeping, get relief factor sleep.
It's just like the relief factor that you take for pain.
Relief factor sleep is also 100% drug-free.
So you get a good night's sleep that you really need without feeling.
like he got hit by a truck the next morning.
It has a blend of natural ingredients
designed to promote healthy sleep.
I took some just last night, and I'm wide awake today.
You're not going to get that with a sleep aid.
It's Relief Factor Sleep.
Unleashed the power of Great Sleep by calling 800 the number four relief.
800, the number four relief.
It's Relieffactor.com.
U.S. Senate candidate for the GOP.
He won the primary last night in Ohio, Bernie Moreno.
are you, sir?
I'm great, Glenn.
Thank you for having me.
It was a pretty resounding victory.
Let me give you some quick numbers.
In a three-way race, almost 51% of the vote, almost 18-point budget.
We've won all 88 counties, every single county we won.
Holy cow.
That is great.
That is great.
Now, the Democrats, I mean, I love your enemies.
First of all, the Democrats spent about $3 million.
on ads against you.
Then you have
Mitch McConnell,
who I know,
who I know for a fact,
hates your ever-living guts.
Both of those things
speak highly of you.
Well, the Democrats
put an ad out there,
tie me to President Trump,
as if that was some sort of negative.
The reality is I wear
my support of and for
President Trump with a badge of honor.
What will be interesting
is to see if Sherrod Brown
will wear with a badge of honor
his 99% voting
record with Joe Biden
or whether he'll hide
like a scared cat whenever Biden
shows up in Ohio.
Right. I mean, they
always try to paint Donald Trump as an
extremist. I didn't see anything
extreme that he did.
I was not a fan
of Donald Trump the first time around
because I thought he would be
a little, you know, unhinged and most
likely lean towards liberal.
I was wrong on that, admitted that.
And you look at his policies and you look at the history of what we went through.
It was pretty good.
It was pretty good and not extreme.
But you look at Biden and it's not job central.
It is absolutely out of control.
I mean, this is basically a conversation between people who love America and believe in common sense
and people who hate this country and are completely out of their minds.
Because the policies really shouldn't even.
be controversial. This is about legal immigration, zero tolerance for illegal immigration, energy
dominance, not depending on other countries for oil, putting the parents and local communities
in charge of their kids' education, having peace and stability around the world versus having
potentially World War III at every corner of the globe. This isn't even close.
This is why last night it was a repudiation of the Republican Party of the past, the party that
thought that it was better to appease Democrats than actually appease their voters.
So Bernie, tell me about yourself.
Why did you decide to do this?
You know, how's your soul?
Well, I came to the U.S. as a kid.
I moved to the United States when I was just about five years old from Columbia, South America,
became a citizen the first opportunity I could.
The greatest gift my parents gave me was bringing me to this country.
I was able to get to Ohio about 20 years ago,
about a small, tiny little business, built it into a great business.
This country gave me all the opportunities on earth that I could have.
ever have dreamed about. And this is about making certain that we preserve that ability,
that ability to do whatever you set your mind out to, no matter who you are,
or the circumstances of your birth, the color of your skin, whatever your background is,
you can do anything in America if you work hard enough. That's what the left hates.
They want government dependency. They want to tell us how to live our lives. They have this
paternalistic view of governing. And that's what we're going to repudiate. And the American
people are sick and tired of career politicians that care more about themselves and their career
that actually helping this country. So, Bernie, I want to, I don't know if you're a religious
person at all, but, you know, James Lindsay, I don't know if you know who he is, but he is a,
he's an atheist. And I was talking to him last time we sat down together, I guess, maybe a year ago.
And I said, I need your help, James, because I'm looking at what's happening in our country.
And I look at what's happening in Washington.
And because it is preaching, you can't do it.
There is no, you know, salvation.
It's all collective salvation.
They're beating people down.
They're separating us, you know, by color.
I can't think of another word other than evil.
And he said, yeah, I think that's the only word that.
it could be applied at this scale.
Are you, have you ever encountered real evil?
Because you're about to if you go to Washington.
Oh, I encountered it in my own primary.
You know, the darkest forces in this country collude.
The cabal is real, something I never would have thought of as a business person before I get in the politics.
This group of far-left extremists that control the Democrat Party with spineless Republicans combined with a media that
absolutely does their bidding to fight anybody who goes against their vision of this country.
But to answer your original question, Glenn, this country does not exist without God. It does not.
This nation was founded on a principle that our rights come from somebody above government,
which is the Almighty. If we don't believe that, then we have to believe that our rights come from
some government official, which is the whole cornerstone of what our Democratic Republic is
all about. So what are the things that compelled you to get in? What are the, what are the things and who
are the people that you will partner with in, in the Senate that you think these guys get it? I am
on that team. I look at JD Vance, great friend of mine. I'm going to be a great partner with
him. We're going to have a great delegation here in Ohio. People like Mike Lee, Bill Haggerty,
Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Roger Marshall, Tommy, Tom,
Coverville, the conservatives are going to band together in the United States Senate come
2025. And we're going to do something novel, Glenn. We're actually going to put in the
agenda that every Republican campaigns on. Every Republican campaigns on the same issue sets.
It's just that some of them forget why they got to Washington, D.C. and who they're accountable to.
And we're going to change that next year. By the time July 4th of 2026 comes around, Glenn,
we're going to have our country back. We're going to celebrate the fact that this country's
going to be better for our kids and grandkids, because the best years of this country are ahead of us, not behind us.
But it just takes all of us to lean in and save this country, which is what we're going to do.
So when people say that, you know, you're a conservative or you're, as they say about you, I think you're a mega-maga fighter,
they do everything they can, Christian nationalist, to make us look like crazy people.
And, you know, some people, I guess, you know, maybe are on the right or the left.
I know they exist.
But I am a constitutional conservative that is a Christian.
I fight for the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
And I will fight against anybody, and I think I have a pretty clear record on this, anyone, left or right, friend or foe, if you start to,
violate the
Bill of Rights and our
Constitution. Would you
stand against, just for
the people that maybe are afraid
of Donald Trump, because he's such a crazy man,
would you stand against
Donald Trump if he was
trying to do things that were unconstitutional?
Of course,
but he doesn't. The person who tries
to do things that are unconstitutional is the current
occupant of the White House. But you're exactly
right. The duty that every elected official
has is to uphold the Constitution.
as written. This is a document that really was something that you put a time in place where these
men were in one place, one geography in a certain time of place. And it's an amazing document.
You look at the Declaration of Independence. It lays out the mission statement of the country.
I called the, I was in the auto business. I called the Constitution the owner's manual.
We need to look at the owner's manual to understand how to operate the country. But we're not doing
that, though. We're not doing that. We're doing the exact opposite.
I'll tell you a story real quick that you'll really appreciate.
I was down in Miggs County, one of the poorest counties in Ohio.
A gentleman there happened to be a truck driver, raised his hand at one of our sessions with me and my opponents.
And he said, what does Article 1 section of one of the Constitution say?
That's a question from a truck driver in Miggs County, Ohio.
Because what he knew was that we're not following that, which is all legislative powers to be held in Congress of the United States.
He knows that.
How many elected officials know that?
because we're not following that simple idea.
I've heard from everybody who has gone to Congress or the Senate that I respect.
They all say every, almost, every politician here pays lip service to the Constitution and the declaration.
But the only time that it is ever truly discussed or taken into consideration is where there's a voter around.
They'll talk a good game, but they don't really care about it at all.
And, you know, it's funny that you said, you know, our mission is clearly stated in the declaration.
I call that, I mean, it's clear.
That's our mission statement.
And you're exactly right.
I call the Constitution our owner's manual.
That's our how to book.
And of course, Ben never read a manual.
So maybe we should, you know, maybe we should concentrate on that a little bit.
Because everything that is happening that is wrong with the country and putting us on the wrong track is the fact.
is the fact that we are violating not only the Constitution on the way things are supposed to be done.
Congress needs to take its power back, but also an out-of-control administrative state
and a violation of almost every single right in the Bill of Rights, almost every day.
Nobody's quartering horses or troops in my house yet, but I, you know, I could make a case that Google is.
No, you're exactly right.
And it's fascinating to me to watch these career.
I call them job-seeking career politicians.
Because I think that's also what my election showed is the repudiation of that.
I think our founders understood instinctively that government will eventually,
without restraint, have tyranny over its people just by its very nature.
And so they understood the way to fix that is you send people who've done something outside
of government, go there to serve, and then most importantly, come home.
That last part is critical.
Come home.
We were never intended in this country to have a political class.
We're intended to have a citizen-led legislature where the government is small.
We have decentralized power because the bigger, we the people are, the smaller government is.
But look at we've almost gotten to the point where government is in charge of every aspect of our lives.
And we have to fight that back.
And I think there's a movement in this country that really understands that.
and we're going to get our country back.
Yeah. Bernie, thank you.
Great talking to.
Congratulations again on a huge victory in Ohio last night.
Thank you.
Well, thank you.
Thank you, Glenn.
You bet.
Bye-bye.
Bernie Moreno from Ohio, the now official GOP candidate for the Senate.
More in a minute.
Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
Let me tell you about Jace Medical.
Jace Medical is a company that is doing its best to make sure that you could, you can survive.
If you need medication, you can survive.
I mean, I got to a point in my, in my, you know, prepping and my preparedness that I was looking for books from the Civil War.
What root is good.
What herb is good?
What would relieve pain if you needed?
you know, I don't want to live like that, man.
I really, I'd like some pain relievers, you know.
If we're doing surgery, you know, I'd rather whiskey is not involved, but that, I mean,
that's the kind of crap that you have to do.
A world without antibiotics, it could happen.
And if you think that's out of the realm of possibility, have you been paying attention
to the news or have you been in a coma for the last 10 years?
Jace Medical can help you have all of the medications that you need at your home.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We have a very tight show for you today.
We have Mike Lee coming up in a little while.
We have Mike Collins, the Republican from Georgia,
and why the Democrats just don't seem to want to pass the Lake and Riley Act.
Do we have, do you know, do we have Ken Paxton on,
in a couple of minutes because we got good news yesterday.
The good news yesterday was that Texas can enforce the law.
And then we went to bed.
And then another court came out and said, no, Texas can't enforce the law.
So I don't know how a lower court overturns the Supreme Court, but again, it's a horse
on the highway, something we just don't see all the time, but I've seen it on I-76 in Philadelphia.
So another horse on the highway there, and I honestly, I don't, I don't even, you know,
the other thing that came out about this is how is Texas going to send people back?
And I say that for two reasons.
One, the president of Mexico said yesterday, over my dead body, or, you know, pile of
bodies that the cartel, my good friends of the cartel, you know, piled up in front of me,
you're not sending anybody back through Mexico, which made me think of my experience with the
State Department when we were trying to fly people out, 18,000 people, we helped get out of
Afghanistan. And the problem was, we had a hard time getting them out, not because we didn't have the
money, not because we didn't have the resources, not because we didn't have the people on the
ground, not because we didn't have the planes, but the State Department was calling countries and saying,
we can't vouch for any of these people, I wouldn't let that plane land. It's one of the most evil things
I've ever seen our country do, and I witnessed it firsthand. So when states say they want to send people
back, I can guarantee you that our government, under this administration, and with,
this Department of State, they are going to call all other countries and say, don't accept
these planes of people back because we can't vouch on who's what and, you know, who we're sending
back to you.
I can guarantee you that's going to happen.
So I really want to talk to Paxton today about that.
Also, did you see a migrant from El Salvador, just somebody who's just trying to make, you know,
just trying to make things better for his family,
was charged with molesting children as young as six.
He has been deported two times.
He was arrested and released back into the community last year,
despite being here in the country illegally.
He's 33 years old.
He's accused of groping at least four little girls as they prayed outside of a church.
He faces now 25 counts of sexual misconduct charges and the abuse allegations date back as far as 2014.
Why is this guy still here?
Why?
Why haven't we deported him?
This isn't a, this is not a Joe Biden thing.
Well, actually, it started when Joe Biden was still in office.
But it's been going on since 2014.
You know, the government, its first job is to protect our rights.
They're not doing that.
Their second job is to provide for the general defense.
They're not doing that either.
They're not doing that in the homeland, and they're certainly not doing it overseas.
I've got some news overseas today that is just, you know, I think why I like today's show is
it's so damn obvious.
It's just so damn obvious
that none of this stuff works.
You know, we've tried reimagining the cops.
I don't think that's a good idea.
You know, I know I was there a few years ago,
but I'm there with the concrete evidence.
That doesn't work.
Same thing with inflation and printing money.
Doesn't work.
Glenn.
And we all, we all know it.
every time we go to the grocery store. By the way, do you see what the Fed did yesterday? Can't wait

Please excuse the program if it sounds like we have ADD in the next
few minutes. I mean, I'm riddled with it. Yes, it's like a pack of wild elephants, but again,
I'm off subject. We are waiting for Ken Paxton to call in. His team is trying to make it happen,
but today, this, because of last night, the Fifth Circuit Court ruled and said, no, Texas can't
defend itself and arrest people who are breaking the law. After the Supreme Court said yesterday
afternoon, they can. Now we have the fifth appellate court. They have to argue before them this
morning. And so he's in the midst of preparing, but we'll try to get him on the phone here,
at least for a couple of minutes, if he can pull himself away from that. The New York Times has
come out with a great editorial. It's about the deep state. Now, Stu, what's the New York Times
opinion of the deep state? What has it been? Not even real. Look
And what are you talking about?
It's no state.
It's nothing.
It's fake.
It's a creation of conspiracy theorists like you who just, you know, some fever dream that you have to explain all the problems that you've created yourself.
Correct.
Amen.
Well, here's the New York Times opinion of the deep state.
It turns out the deep state is actually kind of awesome.
As America closes in on a major election, mistrust is brewing around the mysterious government entity that's now denounced in scary sounding terms, the deep state, the swamp.
But what do those words even mean? Who exactly do they describe? Well, we went on our road trip to find out, and as we met with the Americans who are being dismissed as public enemies, we discovered that they are
us. They like Taylor Swift. They dance
Pichata. I guess I don't know. So I don't dance that. They go to bed at night watching Star
Trek reruns. They go to work and they do their jobs. Saving us from Armageddon.
Sure, our tax, can you imagine if we said Donald Trump is going to save us from Armageddon
what they would say? Sure, our tax dollars pay them. But as you'll see in the video,
What a return on our investment we get.
When we hear Deep State, instead of recoiling, we should rally.
We should think about the workers otherwise known as our public servants,
the everyday superheroes who wake up every day,
ready to dedicate their careers and their lives to serving us.
These are the Americans we employ, even though their work is often invisible.
No, it's not.
That's why we know that they're existing.
It makes our lives better.
No, it's not because we usually don't notice when things are better.
We only notice them when they're bad.
If Donald Trump is reelected and enacts Schedule F, that could change.
Oh, yes, please.
He would have the power to eviscerate the so-called deep state.
Are they calling for evisceration of people?
Did you hear that, Stu?
Let me read that again.
I don't think there's any other way to read that.
than they're encouraging him and their people are cheering it on that he would take a knife
stick it in somebody's guts pull out all of their organs and entrails eviscerating how many
thousands and millions now of people is the New York time saying they want eviscerate I don't
wow well he would have the power to eviscerate the so-called deep state
and replace our public servants with people who work for him, not us.
In the video above, you'll see a few of our hardworking American public servants.
We hope you'll agree that they're not scary at all.
In fact, that's the New York Times.
Now, I just want to point out that they have said forever the deep state doesn't exist.
Now it does exist, but it's kind of awesome.
kind of like, I don't know, CRT.
It doesn't exist in your school.
Oh, well, it does, but it's not what you say it is.
It's actually kind of awesome.
DEI, it doesn't exist.
What are you talking about?
It's a conspiracy theory.
Okay, well, it does exist, but it's kind of awesome.
ESG, that's not real.
That doesn't exist.
Okay, it's real.
And it might be bad.
Okay, it's bad.
Well, we're saying it's bad, so we're going to say we're stopping it, but we're not actually stopping it because it's kind of awesome.
How about the cries for $25 an hour minimum wage?
$25.
Remember when we all said that was crazy and everybody said, well, that's just Bernie Sanders.
Really?
You know, health workers in California?
Yeah.
How much are they getting?
25 bucks, aren't they?
Yeah, 25 bucks an hour.
25 bucks an hour, yeah.
So health care workers now have it in California.
Seattle's paying $26 for a sandwich if it's delivered to your house by Uber because of what the state has done.
And Barbara Lee now is not saying $25 because that was crazy.
Now in her Senate campaign, she's calling for $50 an hour minimum wage.
It's kind of awesome.
Gender mutilation of our children.
You know, that's not happening.
Okay, it is, but it's really good for kids.
Oh, there's no pornography in our public school libraries.
Well, there is because madam, madam, madam, we are in a city council meeting.
You cannot read that.
Because it's kind of awesome.
Government censorship, that is not happening.
That's just a right-wing conspiracy theory.
We're not censoring social media or shutting people down.
We're not involved in that.
Okay, yes, we are.
And now that you're on to us, we think you're violating our First Amendment right to speak.
Oh my gosh.
How about inflation is transitory?
You're too stupid to understand that you're not really paying higher inflation.
To now what's happening this week?
The Fed has now said, yeah, 2% inflation.
That's not really a target we can hit.
Maybe 3, 3.5% inflation every year.
Oh, okay.
I thought you had that under control.
Oh, abortion.
Then nobody is saying abortion all the way up to birth and then some.
Oh, yes, we are because it's neat.
It's awesome.
We should shout our abortion.
And one of my personal favorites, we are not banning gas stoves.
Okay, yes, we are, but it's awesome.
Look at their pattern.
So now they know that everyone knows the deep state.
What is the deep state?
It's not awesome.
And it's not just your neighbor.
Okay?
The deep state is a,
is a
blob that you don't elect,
you don't know who they are,
that will make new regulations
without going to you or Congress.
They'll make regulations.
For instance,
you now have to register with the Treasury.
If you're a small business owner,
you have under 20 employees.
You now have to fill out all kinds of forms
and file it with,
their criminal division of the treasury, making small business owners feel like a criminal.
And if we miss anything or we don't do it right or anything changes like our address and we
don't notify the treasury, we could go to jail for 10 years.
That kind of stuff.
Or here's one.
We're all going to be driving electric cars by 2035.
That didn't go through Congress.
That didn't go through Congress.
that was just pencil pushers and the president.
Hey, you know what?
You can find that regulation.
Go ahead and, yeah, find that regulation.
I know we can, I know we can, you know what, let's tell people that we're not debanking people.
And then we'll debank them.
And then when they find out that we are debanking people, we'll just say, oh, well, yeah, but we're doing that to protect the country.
because there's these extremists.
No, the extremists are the ones that are pointing out,
the Constitution doesn't give you the right to do these things.
The Deep State is a group of people that do not care about the election because they're not elected.
They just do whatever it is they want to do in their agency,
no matter who the president is.
Remember, last time,
The State Department fought against Donald Trump all the way.
They were sabotaging him in almost every agency.
The agencies work for the president.
They're part of his cabinet.
He oversees the administrative arm.
So if you're not working for the president, who are you working for?
Well, I'm working for the American people.
No, constitutionally, that doesn't work.
Constitutionally, you're supposed to be protecting and defending the Constitution, which means you should read it.
And in that, you would see that the CEO of our country that runs the administrative state is the president.
And there are checks and balances with Congress.
You don't work for Congress.
You work for the president.
And he hopefully is working for the American people, not some, I don't know, energy company in China, let's say, just off the top of my head.
Nobody in particular springs to mind.
We're going to play this tape to see, you know, just how great these people really are.
We're going to do that here in just a second.
Still waiting for Paxton to call.
We have Mike Lee coming up in just a few minutes.
Mike Collins is going to be with us today.
John Andrasek is coming up.
We have a PAC show and a lot of information to share.
Give me a second.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We're talking about the deep state, something that I think a lot of people didn't believe.
even existed. I know when Donald Trump first said it, I went, I don't know if I like that term.
I mean, I know there's cabals, but a deep state. Well, yes, there is. And now the New York Times is saying,
yeah, it does exist. But it's kind of awesome. And here's the little video they made. They made.
If elected, Trump's vowed to gut the federal government. Reinstate the Schedule F executive order
and quote, fire rogue bureaucrats. But who are these bureaucrats? And what are these bureaucrats? And
what makes them so dangerous.
We needed answers, so we took a trip across America.
In 100 yards, take the exit.
In search of the people behind this threatening entity.
First stop, Huntsville, Alabama.
Sure looks like some nefarious government activity happens around here.
Oh my gosh, Marshall Space Flight Center.
I am a mission manager in the Planetary Missions Program Office.
He drives a Nissan Titan 4x4.
He's loved Star Trek since he was a kid.
Of course I have a favorite character, either Captain Kirk or Mr. Spock.
And he may have quite literally saved the planet from annihilation.
Potentially.
You see, Scott managed a mission called...
The double asteroid redirection test.
And back in 2022, his team used your tax dollars to pull off something kind of incredible.
You have an asteroid and you have a spacecraft and you fly the spacecraft into the asteroid and try to change the trajectory of that asteroid.
It's like playing pool in space.
Everybody was holding their breath.
This is the moment of truth.
Did we hit it?
They knocked an asteroid off its course.
Proving something that had previously only been done in movies.
Important work like this is happening all over America.
From helping 2 million victims of the opioid crisis
to engineering major breakthroughs in nuclear fusion
and helping make hearing aids affordable for 30 million people.
Yep, the deep state is hard at work.
That was what we were talking about, the hearing.
Just because we don't know about it doesn't make it suspicious.
These guys work for you.
Yeah.
But Trump wants them working.
I can't take it.
So this is who they are defining as the deep state.
That is such dis and miss and malinformation.
That is everything that the government says needs to be stopped.
That's not what we're talking about when we're talking about a deep state.
Speak for yourself.
I am exposing the ear, the hearing aid lady tonight on my show, Studeau's America.
We got 45 minutes on her dark plan for this country.
Notice they go out of Washington, D.C. to find these people.
You're like, deep state, really?
We're going to Birmingham?
We're going to the space center to find the deep state.
No, you don't have to go that far.
Just go to Washington, D.C.
The Glenn Beck program.
I need to tell you about American Giant.
American giant, I love these people.
One of the reasons I love them is, well, it's really, it is the reason other than they're really nice people.
They believe in America.
They believe in our Constitution.
They believe in hard work.
They know that hard work is important.
Hard work made us.
And they know that made in America used to mean something.
And to them, it still does.
Manufacturing here in America has got to be.
be brought back, that independent spirit of American manufacturing. American giant is doing their
part. All of their clothing is 100% American, the cotton, the milling, the cutting, the sewing,
the rivets, all of it from America, even the ink used to dye things in America. You can, you know,
buy, you know, cheaper clothing, but not at this quality, and certainly not from America.
statement, it makes a statement to yourself that America is important.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
We're glad you're here.
We have so many things going on right now that are constitutional crisis.
Do you remember when people are trying to impeach William Jefferson Clinton
and over and over every night for like a year and a half,
the Republicans are putting us into a constitutional crisis.
No, the Constitution is clear on impeachment.
You just have to go through with it and then vote one way or another.
The Constitution is clear.
Constitution is clear on many, many things.
But we have to keep going to the Supreme Court because, oh, we just want to forgive everybody's student loan.
Or, my favorite, is the White House claiming that the court case that was just heard in the Supreme Court this week,
that if the government, if the White House can't tell social media who to ban,
that's a violation of the White House's First Amendment right.
The White House is part of the...
The White House is part of the government.
The First Amendment is supposed to restrain you.
people. It's about our First Amendment right. Not the government's first. Oh my gosh.
Constitutional crisis after constitutional crisis. Yesterday, the Supreme Court said Texas can arrest
illegals. Then a court of appeals late last night said, no, no, no, not so fast. That's a
constitutional crisis. And when you have one, the best man I know to talk to is Mike Lee
about the Constitution and what is coming.
We do that in 60 seconds.
First, our sponsor, this half hour, is Rough Greens.
All right, I'm just going to be real frank with you.
Your dog paid me to tell this to you
because he was too embarrassed to bring it up.
He's like, I'm my best friend.
And I'm like, I know, I know.
So why are you calling me?
And he's like, I'm really bored with a kibble food
and it doesn't taste that good.
I don't, my, I'm eating.
grass all the time. I don't think I'm getting the things that I'm supposed to because I don't like
salad. You know, you drop some salad on the floor. I'm not there to eat it up. I mean, you'd think
why is he eating some green grass? Something must be dramatically wrong. I told him, I know. I said
I would mention it to you, but he wants you to know that, you know, he loves you and everything,
just a little worried that you're not noticing that he could be healthier. He could be happier.
That's not me saying, I'm not condemning you.
I want you to know that.

All right.
Senator Mike Lee, welcome to the program, sir.
Thank you, Glenn.
I would be with you, as always.
Yeah.
We've got a ton of topics to go through.
I don't want to see if we can just go through some of these things as quickly as we can to get some understanding.
First of all, can we start with Texas?
I'm not sure if you are up to speed on all of it.
But if the Supreme Court ruled, how can a lower court reinstate the stay that the Supreme Court said was no good?
Yeah, look, Texas and the court system surrounding Texas law as before really is contributing meaningfully to March Madness.
We've got a lot of back and forth.
Now, the important thing to remember is that there wasn't a ruling on the merits by the Supreme Court in this case.
Correct.
What we saw yesterday was the court declining to issue an administrative state declining to stop things.
It was the lower court to stay on it.
as the case is being argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit today.
Now, the Fifth Circuit includes the state of Texas and they're hearing arguments on the merits of the case.
And so within, I don't know, it could be as short as a few days, likely it'll be a few weeks.
The Fifth Circuit will issue a ruling.
My understanding of the state that's in effect now put in place by the lower court is that that will remain in effect until they
decide this or probably in a few weeks time. Well, but I don't understand how a stay,
when you have something like this, the country is hemorrhaging. It's hemorrhaging.
Our borders are wide open. We're hemorrhaging. You go to a doctor and he's like,
well, before we put that tourniquet on, let's hold on here. And you would think that everybody would
look at that doctor and go, um, hemorrhaging, I think while you make a decision,
maybe we should just stop the hemorrhaging first and then we can talk about it.
Why isn't that the case?
You know, that is a little baffling to me.
It seems like a bad choice.
Now, I haven't seen the lower courts written ruling on this most recent action.
Sometimes courts will do this in order to preserve the status quo while the litigation is being worked out.
But that seems troubling here to put it mildly.
because states have an obligation, they have a duty, they certainly have authority under Article 1, Section 10 of the Constitution to protect themselves against an invasion.
This Texas law, as before, it gives Texas the authority to detain the illegal immigrants, take them to the border, present them with two options, leave the country, or be prosecuted for illegal entry and face jail time.
Now, why you would want to maintain the status quo, the status quo, in which
This blood bath that Joe Biden has himself created through an open border policy.
Oh, my gosh. She just said bloodbath.
It resulted in the death of so many people is beyond my ability to understand.
Okay. So let me ask you one other question.
If the state of Texas wins the right to actually enforce the law, which is insanity to me,
will that apply to other states as well?
Or is it just Texas?
Well, in any litigation, Glenn, technically, the only parties who are immediately governed by the ruling are the parties before the court.
So technically speaking, that ruling would apply only to the state of Texas.
That said, the precedent that will be set there would likely be controlling in the states in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, including not only Texas,
but other states, including Louisiana, where the case is being argued today.
So it would certainly apply there.
And then that precedent would likely be looked to by other circuits in other states around the country
as they handle similar cases if other states adopt similar laws.
Well, I just know that, you know, we all had to live by the Arizona law, you know.
So when they lost that, it kind of affected everybody else of the border as well.
Mike, one last question.
The president of Mexico came out yesterday and said, well, you're not sending them back here.
As somebody who dealt with the State Department and this government trying to get 18,000 people out of Afghanistan,
and some of them are own special forces that were left behind, I know that the State Department can call ahead and say,
you know what, we can't vouch for this plane.
Don't let this plane land.
That's our recommendation.
And they all follow that.
If we start deporting people, can the State Department get involved and do that?
In this administration, for the very reasons you just described, I remember talking to you at the time you were trying to get people out of Afghanistan, Glenn, and realize the insane degree to which the State Department was willing to make people's lives hell.
So I wouldn't put it past them to try.
Just the same.
I also wouldn't mess with taxes or discount the ability of the state of Texas to figure out workarounds there.
If one route doesn't work, they might try another one, and I suspect they would succeed.
I want to talk to you about the freedom of speech thing.
You and I were talking the other day, and you were a little afraid that this may not go,
the way of the people.
I know you're hoping for a different outcome,
but you're also paid to think on the other side as well.
Do you think that we have a chance of really,
a real chance of losing the freedom of speech argument in front of the court
where the government can just lean on companies
and tell them who to silence and who to promote?
Yeah, I think there's a real chance of that, Glenn.
and it's devastating, that would be unfortunate.
That is not the outcome I hope for.
There is nonetheless a possibility that the state of Missouri will lose in this case.
I wasn't president of the courtroom yesterday, but I've listened to the argument.
It's available online and it's a fascinating argument.
But look, this case is really important.
It's important, I think, for Missouri to win here.
Because if the government can violate your rights when there's trouble, just because there's trouble,
You don't have rights.
That's not what the U.S. Constitution does.
It's not there, as Justice Jackson seemed to suggest with one of our questions yesterday,
to make things easy for the government.
It is there literally to hamstring the government, to make it more difficult for the people to do this.
But, yeah, there's a chance of losing this year.
Some of the questions yesterday, many of them, focused on this issue of standing,
who has standing to sue.
And there is some difficulty, there's some risk to the plaintiffs in this case,
that they won't be able to, sufficient to satisfy the court's exacting requirements on standing
to show that any one of them was directly harmed by any particular government action taken in this case.
That's an important constitutional element.
That's a jurisdictional element.
So if the court found that...
Wait, if the government is violating, if the government,
is violating people's First Amendment rights all over the country, why doesn't a state AG that represents
the people have standing? Yeah, either the state AG who represents some of these people or some of
the individuals themselves, because there is evidence that some of them were harmed, and they were
harmed by this government action. That's why I hope the court doesn't get stuck on that argument,
because I think there is sufficient evidence upon which they could find Article 3 constitutional standing there.
To establish that, you've got to show that you suffered an injury, in fact, that you were subjected to that injury as a result of someone else, that that caused you the injury,
and that the court is capable of remedying that injury, in fact, it's fairly traceable to the conduct of the defendants.
I think there's more than enough evidence for at least some of these plaintiffs for the court to find standing.
And I really hope that they handle this the right way.
But I think if they're going to lose, that's probably the most likely ground on which they lose, and that's worrisome.
Perfect. Okay. I've got so much to talk to you about, Mike. How much time do you have? Do you have another five minutes?
Glenn, for you, I've got all the time in the world.
Five minutes will do, Mike. Hang on just a second.
And I want to take it to our budget and what the Senate is doing on that.
And also, Mike has said, it's time to abolish the Department of Homeland Security.
Or no, not the Department of Homeland Security, the TSA, which I am all in on.
But let's hear his argument on it here in just a second.
First, let me tell you about my pillow.
Once upon a time, mankind did not know how to properly make sure.
sheets. I know, I know. Everyone from the lowliest peasant to the wealthiest king went around with
bags under their eyes all day and picking little pieces of straw out of their back. It was bad.
They hadn't got a comfortable night's rest. Entire wars were fought and lost. I believe the crusades
may have been because nobody had good sheets. Don't let the crusades happen again. Hallelujah.
We have my pillow. They've come along and
introduce the Giza Dream Sheets to the world, and they're made from the most comfortable cotton in the world.

Wars, rumors of wars. Our president, I believe, meddling.
or our administration and Chuck Schumer is the face of this one meddling in the affairs of state in a in an ally country meddling with election over there.
But we also are facing debt like we've never seen before.
And there doesn't seem to be a lot of people standing up and saying no more spending until we at least fix a few things.
Mike, what's happening in the Senate?
What's happening in the Senate is that we're set to have half of the federal government shut down
by midnight on Friday.
And we are told that the firm, what I refer to is the law firm of Schumer, McConnell, Johnson, and Jeffries,
has told us we're going to be voting on a bill this week.
An omnibus spending bill to fund the remain parts of the government that haven't been funded yet.
We expect that bill to be, you know, at least a thousand pages long,
quite possibly 2,000 or more.
We expected to contain hundreds of earmarks
and spend an ungodly sum of money.
And we're also told that the firm expects us to pass this bill
between now and Friday.
Glenn, it's Wednesday,
and we still haven't seen a bill.
And earlier this morning, we were told
we probably won't see their bill until Thursday.
Why?
Why?
Is it done?
The firm does.
The firm legislates by extortion.
The firm contrives these emergencies, sets us up for a shutdown threat, always schedules that shutdown
threat carefully just before Congress is scheduled to take a recess before, I don't know, like say
Easter or Christmas, or in this case, Easter.
And then they come forward and they say, you've got to pass the bill exactly as we wrote it.
Warts and all, and it's mostly warts and earmarks, or we're going to accuse you of causing a shutdown.
Well, we're not going to see this.
Good.
24 hours before they expect us to pass it.
And I fear less members of Congress be clown themselves yet again by taking this and by pretending
that it's okay for us to be a rubber stamp for the firm.
We are not.
And we do a great disservice to our own constituents every time we go along with this.
It's got to end now.
We are printing and borrowing one,
trillion dollars every hundred days. Every 100 days, we borrow an additional one trillion dollars.
When is enough going to be enough? It's never enough for them, because for them, if you can dream it,
you can fund it. And it doesn't matter when you're out of money and you're 34.5 trillion dollars in debt,
because it's always got to be more cowbell with them. And people know that it's wrong. And because they know that
it's wrong. They have to be bribed into voting for these bills. I don't mean bribed into criminal
legal sense, but I mean bribed in a corrupt process sort of way, where you end up as we had two
weeks ago with the last spending bill, with two and a half million dollars going to fund outdoor
recreational activities in some boat on town in New Hampshire, three and a half million dollars
going to fund parade float construction in Michigan. And all these are both of the
case of prominent Senate appropriators. And a million dollars.
that was supposed to go and almost would have gone to a BDSM sex club in Philadelphia.
They took that one out at the last minute because people raised the stinking over it.
That's how they do this.
They get this passed by adding these sweeteners, which are effectively legal bribes convincing members to vote for them.
And again, I'm not using the word bribes in the criminal legal sense.
I know.
It's kind of how this functions.
Okay, quickly, by the way, call your senator.
call your senator and say do not shut the government down do not pass this bill shut the government down
until there's some reason that is uh takes hold in washington okay um one other thing you called for
the end of uh tsa and i saw the response people think you're very very you're dangerous
like because there might be terrorists in this country maybe doubtful yeah maybe
Yes. And we also have something called the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment says that you can't be subjected, Glenn, to a search or a seizure that's unreasonable. And what that means is that they need to get a warrant before they search you or seize you, certainly before they're going to do both. And to get that, they have to have a warrant. And that warrant has to be based on probable cause of criminal activity. When we go through... Not anymore. That's kind of old-timey.
thinking, but go ahead.
Yeah, it's old-timey.
It's actually hundreds of years old.
It actually dates back to a couple hundred years even before the Fourth Amendment.
This goes back to English legal tradition.
So, you know, last week I was thinking these issues through just as I got a text from a friend,
yet another friend.
This happens to be all the time.
Or I hear somebody say, look, I just got the full cavity search by TSA and I'm tired of it.
Or I just got the full pat-down.
I feel violated because people really are.
And I said that's enough.
So I went to act on my face, Mike Lee account.
And I said, let's MTSA.
This is unconstitutional.
It's horrible policies.
And people are tired of getting broke.
Well, I agree with you.
Mike, the airlines, as you stated, the airlines will spend money to keep those planes safe.
Well, I'm not sure if Boeing and United are involved, maybe not.
But that's a different story.
Mike Lee, Senator from the great state of Utah.
Thank you so much.
More in a minute.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of court cases going on right now that may as well start with
if only they had a burner launcher.
Sometimes when things that are really bad go down,
a responsible citizen like you or me will respond by pulling out a gun.
I hope that if I ever pull a gun,
is so clearly obvious or I'm not going to reach for it because I you know it's a huge responsibility
so what about non-lethal force well you do the pepper spray you know that's great how about some tear gas
how about something that you can shoot 60 feet away and hit and if you hit within five feet
of that person tear gas goes off and will incapacitate them for about four
40 minutes. I don't know. That sounds like a pretty good deal. Non-lethal alternative to safeguarding

Riley Act, which I think is an act that was supposed to go through with Abraham Lincoln and
maybe Bill O'Reilly. I'm not sure. But the Laken Riley Act is something that was going through
Congress and it would do a couple of things. It would force the government and ICE to issue a
detainer for illegal aliens who are charged or cited with local.
theft, burglary, or anything else. More serious crimes already require ICE to issue detainers,
but nobody's really doing anything about that. Also, it would allow states to sue the federal
government for injunctive relief if an immigrant-related action, parole violation, detention
requirements, et cetera, et cetera, harms the state or any of its citizens. That seems pretty
reasonable. Why did the Democrats stonewall this and stall the Lakin Riley Act? Representative from
Georgia, Republican Mike Collins joins us now. Hey, Mike. How are you? I'm doing fine, Glenn. Appreciate
you having me on. You bet. So why did they, uh, you're, you're in the district where Laken's
murder occurred. Why is this act being stalled by all the Democrats? You would think,
think this would be a no-brainer?
Well, and it should be a no-brainer,
especially for Democrats who have sanctuary cities,
because I know they're tired of the theft
and the crime that is going on in their cities.
And it seems like the criminals that are coming across
and droves from that southern border
are aiming at sanctuary cities in a large part
because they know they can get away with crime.
And that's the case, you know,
in the case of Lincoln Riley,
murder, this heinous murder that really didn't have to happen.
Barra was in New York, and of course he got cited up there, and he moved his criminal trade enterprise down to Athens, Georgia.
And it had actually been picked up for shoplifting a few days earlier.
And that gave us the idea for the bill, after consulting with the family on several occasions.
You know, the one main thing that they kept telling me was, Mike, if there's anything that Congress
can do to pass to make sure that another family doesn't have to go through what we're going through,
then by all means we really like to honor her that way. And we did that. And you know, Glenn, here's the
funny thing about it in the House side. Now, I've never seen the House quite move this fast. Now,
I'm a freshman up here. But we dropped that bill on the Friday. It went through rules on the Tuesday,
and we voted on it on that Thursday. We didn't have time to really whip the bill, picked up 70
co-sponsors on it and had 37 Democrats join on to say, you know what, this is a common sense
piece of legislation, just what you just laid out. When you lay it out that way, I don't see
how in the world anybody in America can be against that. It just gives law enforcement one more
little tool in their toolbox. You know, I'm so sick of these people saying that, well, you know,
Americans commit crime too. I know. We have a problem with that. We don't need to add additional
criminals to the list of people we're having a problem with. Lakin, you know, I mean, unless you,
unless you have this sick point of view that, you know, when when it's your time, it's your time,
so she would have been hit by a bus the next day or whatever, that you can prevent these crimes.
And from a group of people who always say, we've got to take away everyone's gun because it could
save just one life. I don't know why they would say, hey, if you're breaking the law, we should
take that away and send them back home to where they belong. Doesn't make any sense.
You know, Glenn, I think you're hitting on a much larger issue that we have in this country.
And I love talking about Lake and Riley Act. And we're taking that to the Senate, by the way.
We're starting today meeting with senators. We've almost got every Republican senator as a co-sponsor on
that side. Katie Brits leading the way. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Almost. Almost. Who's not?
Who's... I think it's more the fact of they haven't gotten, gotten back with them yet to
go on. But I anticipate how the Republicans getting on board. I just couldn't see why they
wouldn't. But I'm telling you, I think you're hitting on the much broader issue. And we've seen
this over, ever since George Floyd, there's just.
such a disdain for our law enforcement. There's a disrespect for our laws. And people think that
they don't have to abide by whatever they don't want to, including people that are invading
our border down there, wherever they feel like. They already are breaking the law. So do you think
they're really going to come and abide by the laws of our country? No, they're not.
And until we start prosecuting, locking people up, holding them accountable, this is a nation
of laws. We're going to lose our country. And that goes right.
down even to the mayor of Athens, Georgia, who was treating Athens like a sanctuary city
because he didn't want to abide by the state laws of Georgia, which says it's illegal to have
a sanctuary city. And that guy needs, as a matter of fact, he should have already resigned.
If had an ounce of honor, he would resign. But until we get back to a nation of laws,
boy, we're in deep trouble here.
So what is your district like? Are they taking this one? Or they, you?
unified for this? I mean, why is he still the mayor?
Well, that's a good question. There's a lot of pressure still being put on this guy to resign.
You know, I know they are continuously holding rallies up there. Our district is solid behind us.
They're solid behind this act. You know, my district is made up a just good old American blue collar folks that get up, go to work every day, go church on Sunday, and just want to be left alone by the federal government.
and it's just good, solid American people.
And they see this.
They sell the heinous crime that didn't have to happen.
This did not have to happen.
And if the Lake and Riley Act would have been law before that,
that young lady would not have been murdered.
And, you know, all she wanted to do was help people all her life.
And this act, we get this thing through the Senate.
That's what it's going to do.
It's going to continue to help people.
You're going to have to get Chuck Schumer to introduce it.
Good luck with that one.
But I will ask the audience, please call your senator and tell them to bring to the floor the Lake and Riley Act and vote on it.
I think there is this is such a no-brainer, such a no-brainer.
But unfortunately, that's what we have up in Washington.
A lot of people with no brains.
We do.
But you know something, Glenn, I'm a freshman up here.
It's been 30 years in the truck and business.
And believe it night, I'm the first freshman that got a bill signed into law for the 118th Congress.
And it was a law enforcement bill.
And it was just a solid, common sense bill that dealt with fentanyl and protecting our law enforcement from all this mess.
So I know how to get legislation passed.
Took old trucker to come up and do it.
We can get this thing.
So, Mike, you're a, you are a trucker.
So let me ask you, tell the American people what's going to happen to trucking.
if the regulations on no gig workers goes through?
It's going to affect trucking.
Trucking relies on several different things.
Owner operators in particular, they're an integral part of trucking.
And it's not just that.
It's all the rules that have been pushed down our throats over the years.
Your trucking industry is, in my opinion, one of the purest
forms of entrepreneurship that there is.
I mean, you've got 98% of the trucking companies out there are 10 trucks or less.
95% of them are 5 trucks are less.
These are generational people.
These are small businesses out there.
They're struggling.
And I'll tell you what the biggest problem we have out there right now in trucking.
And that's the fact that we need port reform.
You have got so many runaway juries, so many nuclear verdicts out there,
insurance has gone sky high.
You know, people ask me all the time, Mike, why do we sell these trucks parked up and down the interstate?
Well, that's easy.
Ten years ago, you didn't have that problem because we would park at our shipper or cons to need.
Well, due to shippers and these customers, they say, don't come on my yard until I unload you.
You can't stay the night here because I'm afraid that if you get sued, they're going to sue my general liability.
So until we get a true tort reform in this country and make these bobbyes,
Fishing trial lawyers pay for this mess, trucking is going to struggle.
And I think the American people understand, especially through the pandemic,
trucking plays a big part in our economy.
Agree. If our truckers stop, we stop as America.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it, Mike. Really do appreciate it.
Thanks. Talk again.
I appreciate your time on this. That's a very important issue with Lake and Riley.
And I encourage you, by please, contact your senator.
We knew we need to help.
By the way, one last thing.
You've talked to the family.
How are they holding up?
Well, you know, Glenn, this is tough.
You know, and my conversations have been private, and I've kept them private.
But we think about it.
We're all Lake and Riley families.
We've all had kids that went off to school or went off to chase their dreams, and you worry about it.
You know, in your wildestringes, you wouldn't ever expect anything like this to happen.
And it's just devastating.
You know, it's gut-wrenching for me.
I've got, you know, I've got kids.
They're grown now.
And everybody's got that situation.
So it's tough times.
Yeah.
Thank you so much, Mike.
I appreciate it.
You know, it's an amazing thing to see the callousness of our government that they, they, they
just they don't seem to care about the American that is struggling. They don't, they don't seem to care.
You know, the same state of the union that the president didn't get Lake and Riley's name right,
he apologizes later for calling the guy in illegal, because no people are illegal, he has not reached out.
to the Lake and Riley family,
that same night,
a father of one of our Marines
that was killed in Afghanistan
at the gate because of his damn State Department,
he's arrested.
He's never talked to the president.
Nothing's ever been done.
Do they even care?
We're just cogs in a machine.
And that is one.
100% un-American. We are not a collective. We are a collection of individuals and each one of us count and matter. And you're not seeing that from the government anymore. They just don't seem to care about the plight of the average person. If they did, they wouldn't be spending and borrowing a hundred or a trillion dollars every hundred days. They wouldn't be doing it because they know.
No, that's going to cause massive inflation.
They wouldn't be trying to tell you that inflation is down.
That's not how inflation works.
We have to be negative.
You can't have 2% inflation every year for four years, which we've had more than.
2% inflation for four years means four years later, your price is up 8%.
That's what they're shooting for.
Your price has been up 20% and yet they still don't seem to care.
I think that's what this election is really all about.
Back in just a minute, let me tell you about our sponsor of the Saffirits Relief Factor.
You know, yesterday, I was at the doctors all day yesterday.
I was in such agonizing pain with my back.
I love coming to my little town because you can go in and see the doctor
and I'm like, I got to get a steroid injection.
And he just looked to me and went, okay, well, why don't we walk over to the OR?
We'll do it right now.
And I'm like, what?
I'm so used to, you know, everything being three weeks out.
It was so nice.
And I can't thank the doctors at the hospital here enough.
They're so great.
But I was in massive, massive pain.
Today, I'm feeling better.
I'm not out of pain, but I'm feeling better.
And I know when I had pain in my hands, I know the difference between nerve pain and inflammation or soreness or whatever was going on in my hands.
We never really understood what was going on.
But relief factor was there and it stopped it.
I want you to just try it.
Relief factor helps reduce the inflammation.
That's what I had a steroid for yesterday.
but sometimes when you've really, I fell out of a two-story window a few years back, not good.
Believe it or not, it was a time when I was drinking, but no drinks were responsible for that.
It was just sheer stupidity.
Anyway, relief factor can help you.
Three-week quick start kit.
It's 1995.
Comes with relief factors feel better, your money-back guarantee.
So give them a call.
Relieffactor.com.
The number is 800, the number four relief.
800 for relief. When you feel the difference, you know it works. Relieffactor.com.
This is the Glenn Beck program. Pretty amazing development. Yesterday, the Supreme Court came out
and took away the stay. So that means that Texas could actually go out and arrest people who were doing
things illegally. If they were here for illegal aliens, you could have a choice. You could go home
or you could be arrested and detained and tried. Well, we haven't been able to enforce that law because
the government, the administration, who says they just can't do anything about this, you know,
without comprehensive reform. No, you can allow the police officers in Texas to actually arrest
people. You can do that easily. But instead, they took them to
court and said they don't have any right to do that. So the stay was lifted yesterday afternoon,
saying that Texas could. Then the White House made sure that the district court ruled on it a
second time. They put the stay back in place. Ken Paxton, who is arguing this case in front of
that circuit court today is going to be joining us next hour. Also, John
John Andresik, an amazing song that he has written.
You know, I was just singing the other day.
We don't have songwriters that are actually writing about the times.
We actually do.
John Andresik leads the way on that.
He joins us with Israel next.

Hello, America, welcome to the Glennbeck program.
You know, we have made huge strides in culture.
The right has always been kind of this,
you know, we're on the island of Misfit Toys.
And we're kind of the charmed.
Charlie in the box or the squirt gun that squirts jelly.
But things have changed.
I don't know if you've seen the movie Crabreini,
but that is from Angel Studios,
and it is absolutely brilliant.
And at the level of a movie Godfather,
it is, it's not your old church films anymore.
It is really, really good.
Also, we have a few artists that have,
step to the plate and are quintessentially American.
I'm going to introduce you to a friend of the program.
He's been on with us before.
He's done something now for Israel.
And I want you to hear it.
And I want you to hear from him as well.
He is one of the, well, he's, if I'm not mistaken,
he is, his music has now been added to the American songbook.
which is an amazing thing.
Stands the test of time.
John Andrasek joins us in 60 seconds.

John Andresik, 5 for Fighting, singer, songwriter, legend, maker of grocery carts,
which we'll talk about here in just a second.
Hi, John. How are you?
Glenn, always a pleasure, my friend.
Yeah, first of all, I have to thank you for what you did on my 60th birthday.
And unfortunately, I was with my dad who was dying on my 60th.
But when I watched this video, do we have a little bit of it we can play?
When I watched this video, I was blown away that you actually, I mean, performed your song for the video.
I mean, I thought it was cool that we were even using your track, but to have you actually play it is just amazing.
So I want to thank you for that right off the top.
Well, it was my pleasure.
You're a good man.
And watching the video, you know, as I said before, the nice thing about playing 100 years is that you're always a few bars beyond me in the song.
I'm chasing you in the verse because I'm 59 and you're 60 and I'll be catching up to you soon.
Yeah.
You know, we've both moved on.
weird, isn't it? Well, we both moved on from the bridge into the vamp now. So we're moving. But just to
watch all the events, you know, that's happened in our lives, you know, I'm 65 or 64, and to see
the images and to watch your career evolve and your family, it was, it was beautiful to see. So,
you know, belated happy birthday, but I love doing it. Thank you. I tell you, I was at a
like an antique mall the other day.
And I was walking through with a friend and he said,
oh my gosh, I had one of those.
And I said, look at this.
I had one of these.
And he said to me halfway through, good heavens were old.
And the things that we had are now in an antique store.
We're past our prime.
Anyway, John, you have, you've done a new song called Okay.
And it's about Israel.
And what happened on October 7th?
Can you take us through it?
And I want to play a little bit of it.
Can you take us through it?
What are you thinking?
Yeah.
You know, I think, again, we were all horrified by October 7th and the atrocities.
I mean, frankly, it reminded us of 9-11 and, frankly, the Afghan withdrawal as well.
You've seen images we never could imagine.
But I think what really struck all of us was within 24 hours.
thousands of people celebrating in Times Square.
And the quick collapse of our moral institutions,
you know, certainly the media quickly became, you know,
Hamas propagandist in many respects.
Of course, our college campuses,
which we've known to have been rotted out for decades,
really showed their true colors with their anti-Semitism and radicalism,
and frankly in the halls of Congress with Rashida Talib and her crew.
And so I think for me, the song, even though on the surface,
It recognizes Israel in the atrocities.
It's really deeper than that.
It's really about the kind of collapse of the soul of the world.
Because this is not about Israel, Hamas.
It's about civilization against those who want to destroy it.
So to me, the whole We Are Okay theme is a global theme.
And I think we see that in our country.
We see that in our kids.
We see that in the UN, which has been a complete disgrace.
And I think for me, that's the deeper meaning of the song.
And perhaps why, you know, when Israel shares,
it on their social media you know Glenn you know we're not Jewish but um I think we've both
got a sense of what it's like to be Jewish and in the vitriol and the threats and and what they're
facing yeah so it's um a little bit of a yeah a little bit of it yeah it must be terrifying
to be a Jew today oh my god anywhere in the world it's got to be terrifying you've seen this movie
literally you've seen this movie before and I got to believe it's like I can't wait wait I
I thought we all learned our lesson.
No, you're right.
It's terrifying.
You live your whole life going, how could the Holocaust ever happen?
And then in 2023, you're like, oh, that's how it can happen.
And it's not just in Gaza.
Look, I'm in- Everywhere.
I'm in Dallas with you tonight today.
Tonight I'm meeting with five high school kids that I met at a Stand With Us event
who are suffering from severe anti-Semitism at schools in Dallas.
We're not talking about, you know, London.
We're not talking about California.
We're not talking about Massachusetts.
So it's raging everywhere.
And the sad fact that our kids are on the front lines of this, that is the most depressing of all.
But another reason why we have to stand up and stand up through the arts, because that's the only way we get to the kids.
Yes, culture.
All right, let me just give you a couple of the lyrics here, because I think his lyrics are always so powerful.
This is a time for choosing.
This is a time to mourn.
The moral man is losing, forbidden, lost, forlorn.
I don't understand.
I don't understand how can you look at yourself in the mirror.
I don't understand.
How did that blood fill up your eyes?
We are not okay.
You hide behind your babies, you hide behind your kin.
The Harvarders have rabies.
They'd holocaust again.
My gosh, that is such a great line.
We, we are, we are not okay.
Evil's on the march.
Time to face the task at hand.
Evil's on the march.
Evil's on the march.
Need every good woman, every good man.
This song is called okay.
Let's play a bit of it here.
We are definitely not okay.
John Andresig, five for fighting, who wrote that and is singing it.
And usually you lose the upper end of your range there when you get to be our age, John.
But I think that's, you're hitting some high notes.
I think we're coming from the same place.
I've been saying on the air that I'm seeing so many things that I've never seen before
and a couple of weeks ago, I saw this video from I-76 in Philadelphia.
Can you play that, please?
It's a horse on the highway.
And it's a racehorse running down the highway.
Have you ever seen that before, John?
I have not, Glenn.
Right?
I mean, that's crazy.
It's a great racehorse going down the highway in Philadelphia.
and I feel like we see something like this every day.
And I keep saying, you know, this is not normal.
And I think that's what you're saying in the song.
This is not normal.
We're not okay.
We're not okay.
We're in an alternate universe.
Everything is upside down.
It's insane.
And I have to call out our industry as well in the music business.
Look, 22 and a half years ago, we played the concert for New York after 9-11.
and every living icon came to that concert.
I'm not talking about me.
And they sang, they condemned.
Some have bin Laden.
They provided solace to America and the world.
And now the music industry since October 7th is crickets.
It's crickets.
What has happened to us?
What has happened to our soul, our moral spine,
when nobody in the music industry can condemn evil terrorists.
And you know, that video you guys just saw,
it's not just a pro-Israel video.
It's a pro-Palestinian video.
The woman over, every good woman, every good man is a Palestinian woman calling out Hamas.
And if these folks truly cared about Palestinians, they'd be saying free Gaza from Hamas.
So it is nuts.
We have lost our mind.
We have lost our soul.
We have lost our hearts.
We have lost our courage.
And that is incredibly dangerous for each and every one of us.

John, you know, you were talking about music and this generation of writers and how lost.
I mean, you listen to the lyrics today and there's at least a 50-50 chance.
It's about sticking something in somebody's butt.
And you listen to the lyrics and you're like, what the hell?
And in the 60s, when there was this same kind of movement, this honestly Marxist movement,
but it was tied to something, even though it was a lie, it was tied to something.
bigger than the self and bigger than pleasure.
And it was about creating a new world.
I don't hear any of that from music.
You know, it's easy to be the curmudgeon
and the good old days when we were, you know,
we were having the hit songs.
Yeah, I know.
And I gotta say, there are a lot of words that rhyme with butt.
So I guess, you know, I guess it makes a little easier
to write a song.
But, but yeah, I mean, it's,
and the things that the kids care about are so trivial.
You know, it's like,
Yeah. You know, okay, the world's collapsing. There's atrocities being committed around the world, but, you know, let's march for pronouns. You know, and I get it. You know, be who you are. But, and then if they're not writing songs about it, you know, 80 bands are leaving South by Southwest because the U.S. Army's a sponsor. So they're just kind of blinded by this oppressor, oppressive, woke mindset. And the problem is, is we're not standing up to that as artists. You know, there's three kind of,
There's three kind of problems in the world.
First, there's evil people, right?
We know who they are.
They're terrorists that are trained since five years old to commit atrocities.
They're their partners in the UN.
There's the guy sitting in Qatar hoping they can kill as many Palestinians to put pressure on the press to, you know, cancel Israel.
And then, of course, there's the useful idiots, right?
The queers for Palestine.
The Mark Ruffalo's of the world who frankly give them license to continue doing what they're doing.
But you know, to me, the most depressing, the most depressing and dangerous group are those who know what's going on.
They understand, they see evil, and they're afraid to stand up to it.
The first line of that song, you know, is it's a time for choosing, and I think it is.
The last image of my video is Martin Luther King saying, if you're silent in the face of evil, you're complicit.
And so much of the world is complicit.
And we have to change that, and we have to change that in the arts.
We have to fight back.
We have to go on offense.
That's what you have joined something called the Music Matters Challenge.
Oh, that.
I'm not familiar with it.
Yeah.
Well, this is something actually a little more fun, Glenn.
And it's something I want you to participate in.
Because with all this chaos in the world, I think one thing that can bring us together is music.
And the critical need for music in our schools.
You know, my mom, when LA Unified Cut Funding in our elementary school, she volunteered and started putting on full musicals.
I was Tony and Westside's story, probably because I was my mom's son.
But anyways, 50 years later, those kids still reach out to my mom and talk about that experience is transformative in their lives.
And there's 4 million kids in America that do not have music.
So what the Music Matters challenge is, it's a national contest where people can upload a video talking about
music teacher that matters to them, sing this song, let music film my world that I recorded
with the Chicago inner city school, high school. It's a beautiful song. And through that, we've already
installed a music teacher at Farragut Academy in Chicago. We're going to raise money for another one
for a grand prize winner who can select a school and put in a music teacher. There's a school
prize, $25,000 grants money, but we're launching it on Good Morning America three next week. But
You know, with all the depression and struggle and pain and suffering in the world, we need some light.
We need some joy.
So this is an opportunity for everybody to sing and bring music to every child in America.
I will help you any way that you need, John.
Real quick, I've only got about 45 seconds left.
I just want to show a picture of a shopping cart.
Yes, sir.
I had no idea.
And I think this is what makes you so rooted in reality is your.
is your family make shopping carts,
and they're really, really good shopping carts,
and you still do that today.
I mean, you're part of it.
I am.
It's a full-time job.
Yeah, and we just opened a facility here in Dallas,
and I love your red, white and blue cart, Glenn Beck.
I mean, I want that car.
And if you shop at Costco, use our car.
Hey, and it's all American made, baby, all American made.
I love it.
I love it.
Thank you so much.
John Andrezig, always great to see you, my friend.
Thank you for everything you do.
You only got 100 years to live, Glenn.
Yeah.
Have a good time in Israel.
Thanks, buddy.
He's going on tour in Israel and taking a stand for sanity.
God bless him.

Tonight, Wednesday night's special on Blaze TV.
The biggest debate in the country right now is about speech.
Currently, the conversation in Congress is about TikTok.
Really, really bad.
In fact, the Chinese, we found a quote from,
one of the propagandists in China.
The one who wins TikTok wins the world.
Wow, the fact that this app is being used in a no bullets war against the United States is frightening.
Congress, is the TikTok ban the answer or is it a Trojan horse?
Today I'm going to give you the full text of the ban.
We'll go line by line.
Is this bill to protect us or is this the next Patriot Act 2.0?

Ken, the Attorney General from the great state of Texas. How are you, sir? I'm doing well.
Pretty crazy stuff going on right now as usual. I know. Thank you for joining us. I know you're getting
ready for your argument with the appellate court today. Can you tell me what happened? Yesterday,
the Supreme Court said Texas can begin arresting. And then I get up this morning and the
appellate court says, no, no, no, not so fast. Well, this is one of the more confusing and maybe
inexplicable things I've witnessed in the court. So it started off in district court with the
Biden administration and a little group called the ACLU, Suda, saying that SEP4 was unconstitutional.
We didn't have the right to expel anybody from the country, no matter how bad they were.
So the judge that they, you know, where they filed a lawsuit, put an injunction on our law, so it couldn't go into effect on March 4th, the date it was supposed to go into effect.
We appealed that at three-judge panel rule in our favor.
We got the stay lifted, but they put what's called an administrative stay on it to give the Supreme Court a chance to review it.
He goes up to the Supreme Court.
the Supreme Court says no fine, six zero, it can go into effect.
And so we're good.
We're happy within hours.
We are notified by a new panel of the Supreme Court.
Priscilla Owen is, I think, a Bush appointee.
And then we have a liberal judge appointed by one of the Democrats.
And we had Andy Ollum, who ruled in our favor.
So we lost two to one.
They put another stay back in.
But then they ordered us to have a hearing within less than 12 hours from
finding out. So actually, my guy is arguing by Zoom right now at the court in New Orleans,
the Fifth Circuit, and that three judge panel, so it's a really odd argument because they
removed the stay, but then they said that's what the argument's about. So it's almost like they've
already decided, but they still want us to argue the case. I don't know. I've never seen like it.
I don't understand it. It's bizarre. Yeah, I was talking to Mike Lee today, and he said,
you know, stays are usually to stay from harm.
What we have going on here is a whole lot of harm.
We have crime.
We have killers.
We have just an invasion of our border.
And it should be that the court should say, no, no, no, let them arrest until we look at everything.
Instead, the harm that is being perceived, I guess, by this court.
is to the illegal alien.
Yes, to the illegal alien and to the Biden administration's partnership with the cartels.
That's the harm.
We are harming the cartel relationship, and I don't know how else to put it.
If the court defended this, if they block us from enforcing legitimate path law by the legislature,
signed by the governor, then they are saying we want to protect any harm that might come to
the illegal immigrants and to the Biden administrations work with the cartels.
That's the reality where we're at now.
So what is your guy arguing?
I wish we could listen in.
Well, he's arguing.
He's arguing exactly what you're saying.
There's no harm.
And let this law stay in effect.
Let us argue the merits of the case.
And you let us have the opportunity to uphold and defend a purposely enacted law by the Texas legislature.
The people.
So when is, when are they going to?
When is this going to be decided?
I mean, I know the stay is for today.
The trial, I guess they would announce something within a couple of days on the stay.
But what about the full case?
I mean, they've already removed this stay.
So, I mean, the or the administrative stay of the stay, it's so confusing.
Because there was a, you know, a stay in place.
And then they had an administrative stay of the stay.
That's why it's so hard to explain.
And so what they would do is I think they're going to rule very quickly because look how fast they went.
The Supreme Court gave us the victory yesterday afternoon.
And by, you know, within an hour or two, the Fifth Circuit, Priscilla Owen and this other judge said, no, you can't, this law can't stay in effect.
We're going to let the stay go back into effect that the original judge put in place.
And now you have to argue this tomorrow at 10 in the morning, which I've never had an argument turnaround that fast.
on something so significant, but even on something minor.
I mean, that's what's so strange about this.
That's part of it.
And it's also strange that the Fifth Circuit would sort of step past the Supreme Court and say,
well, we're going to stop this from going in effect.
And it's despite the fact that exactly what you said, the harm is to Texas.
There is no harm to the, I mean, I will acknowledge harm to the cartels.
I will acknowledge that they are being harmed.
And that they're able to get people in here.
It's true.
We are harming the cartels.
So that's what we're trying to.
Harm to the drug industry, harm to the,
fentanyl pushers, harm to the drug traffickers, the human traffickers.
Yeah, so yes, yes.
Venezuela.
I will acknowledge that in public, in court, anywhere, we are harming them.
Yes.
So that was the other question, and you just touched on it.
How does a lower court usurp the Supreme Court?
So they basically, the Supreme Court just put it back down to the Fifth Circuit and said,
we're not we're not going to undo the administrative stay of the stay.
And so they left our law in place, but the Fifth Circuit still has control of the case right now
because it's backed down with them, and they can rule however they want,
and they can protect, you know, if they want to protect the cartels,
they can protect the cartels.
It's within their power to do that.
Another thing that happened overnight, and this is the first thing I was worried about,
I saw this late last night.
And then I saw, oh, well, we don't have to worry about that as much as we do, maybe people inside our own country.
The president of Mexico said, Texas isn't going to return anybody to the border of Mexico or fly them into Mexico,
which made me think of the 18,000 people that we finally got out of Afghanistan.
We were thwarted by the Department of State every day.
all the time, several times a day. We had a plane with refugees in the air and we had a place to land.
Another country had already okayed it. And the State Department called and said, we can't vouch for that plane.
So I wouldn't allow it to land. And they stopped us from flying any place. Can the governments do that to Texas?
It seems wrong to me.
I mean, look, we also have this case Supreme Court just knocked out our, we had an injunction from the Fifth Circuit that stopped.
That's, you know, the 30,000 people that they're flying in, flying in from Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, Cuba, and Venezuela.
So 30,000 a year a month are being flown in.
We're paying for it.
The state, the country is paying for this.
The Biden administration is paying for.
It's completely illegal.
and we had an injunction to stop it in the Supreme Court just literally like I think it was a week ago
I got rid of our injunction so now those 30,000 people don't even have to come to the border
we're paying for them to come to the country illegally I can't make this stuff up
I don't I don't yeah I don't know I'm trying to figure out the distinction between a
injunction and a stay okay the difference is there but it's all I'm sorry it's all
It's language that they use.
No, I know.
We had an injunction stopping the Biden administration from importing 30,000 people a month
from those four countries, the four I mentioned.
And the Supreme Court, six to three, said no.
The injunction goes away, go back and litigate this case.
So here we are.
We now have 30,000 people a month.
And we can't stop it until we get through this case, which is going to take us, you know,
who knows how long.
So every month, 30,000 more we're paying for this.
are going all over the country from those four countries I mentioned.
And then on top of that, now Texas has an injunction stopping us from enforcing our own laws,
protecting our state from illegal immigration.
So it's very frustrating because it seems like it's even when we get rulings that allow us to go back to court,
they're the rulings that allow it to take years.
And so, you know, a year goes by and another 300,000 people fly across the border.
They don't even go to Border Patrol anymore.
They just fly in.
Ken, I'm sure you know this because you live in Texas as well.
You know, there's an old saying, don't mess with Texas.
And, you know, fortunately or unfortunately, whichever way you want to look at it,
a lot of Texans mean that.
And a lot of Texans are seeing this as an invasion,
and they're seeing this out-of-control government, you know, doing exactly what you just said.
and destroying us, intentionally poisoning us.
And there's a lot of Texans that I think are kind of up to here.
How do we diffuse this back and forth?
How do we diffuse it so it just doesn't get to a boiling point that you can't turn down?
Look, I mean, all we can do.
I have lawyers, people all the time say, why don't you do more?
I'm like, well, the legislature gives me lawyers.
I don't give me tanks or anything else.
So I just go and fight where I can fight.
I think eventually if you have such disdain,
if the federal government has such disdain for the law and the Constitution,
then eventually the people have a right to say,
no, we're not putting up with this anymore.
And the Declaration of Independence is clear on that.
These rights are inalienable.
They're from God.
They're not from Joe Biden.
They're not from Donald Trump.
They are inalienable.
And we have a right to those rights.
And eventually,
that people have to find a way to overcome that.
And what that is, I don't know, but hopefully the next election will speak to that,
and those rights will start being honored as fundamental rights to human beings.
That is one of the most amazing statements I think I've ever heard from a government official.
I hope the next election with you.
I hope the next election solves these things, because we're in constitutional crisis after constitutional crisis.
We are on our way.
It's got to stop.
If we're not there now, we don't have a constitutional republic.
If the rule of law and the constitution can be put aside, set aside, and flip to mean anything that, you know, a few justices think it means, and they can dishonor fundamental rights that were guaranteed in our constitution, then now we're back to the Declaration of the Declaration of.
independence and that is a big place to be as you know yeah Ken Paxton God bless you thank you we'll pray
for your win today God bless you the Attorney General of the great state of Texas why do I feel
like history we just lived history all right our sponsor this half hour please pray for peace
Please pay for play, pray for peace.
Just on your knees, beg.
Let me tell you about Lear Capital.

Congress feeling unhindered you know but but they don't they don't have to worry
about inflation or spending or deficits but in the real world which is the one

So you may not know the name Aza Gonzalez,
but you probably remember the face.
She's been in films like Baby Driver and from Dust Till Dawn,
and she's been in lots of TV shows.
Anyway, she said, I remember I have been told by so many people on so many projects, she's just too pretty for the role.
She's or she's too hot for the role.
And she's like, I mean, this is really caused problems.
She said, I've had an identity crisis for a long time.
I was like, do I shave my head?
Do I make myself less attractive?
Do I make myself more attractive?
Do I not dress super hot or do I dress super hot?
Or do I cover myself all the time?
I mean, this reads like my diary.
It's crazy.
She said she's so often described as sexy.
And she rejects that, that connotation.
And the connotation that that word carries.
And again, I do too.
Aza, we have so much in common.
I'm just looking up at the clock.
I'm not looking at the picture that they're posted.
You're not looking at the clock.
And she is not sexy at all.
Now that I have to see the picture, I'm realizing she's not sexy at all.
She shouldn't worry about these things.
Right.
See, look at what he said.
He says that same stuff to me all the time about me.
You're so transparent.
