The Glenn Beck Program - Project 2025 Is Back ... and It's SLICING Government | Guests: Kevin Roberts & Winsome Earle-Sears | 10/14/25

Episode Date: October 14, 2025

We are in a global competition with China, and Glenn warns that if we lose this AI race, we will lose the country. China is constructing up to 40 nuclear power plants each year to power its AI farms. ...Are we reaching a point where it's impossible to catch up? Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts joins Glenn to discuss Project 2025, the government shutdown, and what's to come as Trump's second term continues. Virginia gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears (R) joins to discuss the dead-heat race and why she is the best fit to lead the state of Virginia. Glenn addresses the selective edits of a question he was asked at his TPUSA event regarding Israel and AIPAC. Why doesn't AIPAC register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act? Glenn did his homework and revealed what he found. Houston Chronicle investigative reporter Eric Dexheimer joins to expose how an out-of-towner is plotting the complete takeover of a county in Texas, which prompted a lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R). Glenn and Stu discuss the leftist media meltdown over War Secretary Pete Hegseth's new press policy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Starting point is 00:00:00 When you were little, you had braced in the course of recrace, still in trying to negotiate and make these exchanges. The appellee-negoti-tit-titre T-D. You permit to renouet with
Starting point is 00:00:09 this instinct, with without operation gratuit, no amount on minimum, and no free mensuel. You're made for negotiate, and
Starting point is 00:00:17 the T-D is there for you know, for you have come with a catch. Endless appointments, tiny batteries, complex apps that are designed
Starting point is 00:00:26 for somebody else. It's amazing how companies can turn something as simple as a hearing aid into a science project, but Audien took a different approach. They started with one simple question, what if a better hearing aid didn't need to be complicated? What if you could put them in, turn them on, and you'd have a little screen that was part of a little case that you would use. No Bluetooth pairing, no fuss, just tap the screen, adjust your sound,
Starting point is 00:00:48 and step back into the conversation. I have to tell you, complex hearing aids are so, they're so nasty, because you're constantly, wherever you are, you're trying to adjust it. This makes it so simple. And the Atomaxx. was designed by audiologists who know that clarity should not require a lesson in technology. They are $98. That's a couple of thousand dollars less than the, you know, the really good ones, I guess. And they're fantastic. $98, no prescription, no waiting rooms, no middleman.
Starting point is 00:01:17 You buy them over the counter and it is really, really good. Don't wait, start hearing again. Audioinhearing.com. Hello, America. You know we've been fighting every single day. We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you. We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it. But to keep this fight going, we need you.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast? Give us five stars and lead a comment because every single review helps us break through Big Tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth. This isn't a podcast. This is a movement. and you're part of it, a big part of it. So if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top. Rate, review, share.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Together, we'll make a difference. And thanks for standing with us. Now let's get to work. I want to talk to you about some pretty serious stuff here about the economy. What is happening with China and what direction we're headed in. Gold is up to 4,100, just over 4,100 today. It was on its way to 42 yesterday. It's kind of come down just a little bit.
Starting point is 00:03:26 a silver. I mean, it was, you know, it's traditionally around 12 bucks an ounce. It's over $50. Something is happening with the economy, and I want to point out something very disturbing. We'll explain that coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. Listen, I saw the same videos you saw yesterday, and it was amazing. Watching the families return home, families embracing the possibility of peace flickering on the horizon. After so many years, decades, centuries of heartbreak and war, we're still. seeing glimpses of something we prayed for, and that is a restoration of peace. But even now, there are families in Israel who have lost everything.
Starting point is 00:04:03 There are elderly survivors who can't afford heat or food. There are children who wake up to sirens and still need hope to hold on to. The Arab world is now finally going to be able to go in and help the Ghazans, and we can help the Israelis. They've lost everything. You can't afford food or heat. They have to rebuild. For over 40 years, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has stood in that gap, bringing Christians and Jews together to lift up the broken,
Starting point is 00:04:28 feed the hungry, and bring comfort where the world has fallen silent. They're not just responding to a crisis. They are rebuilding lives. And day after day, the fellowship teams are on the ground, hand-delivering boxes of food and feed and stuff that feed people and comfort to the poorest of the poor, particularly the elderly. And I encourage you, put your faith into action. Faith requires action.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Take your part in IFCJ's mission. Find out how and what their mission is. is at IFCJ.org. That's IFCJ.org. All right, told you about gold here at record highs. And it is telling us something. Usually it would tell us that the dollar is in real, real trouble. I think, and I am guessing at this now, but I think what this is telling us is that the whole world, the whole system is in trouble. And let me give you an example. I'm going to talk to you about something to try to make sense of it here, but I don't have a good answer because we're not having these conversations. I have told you for almost 20 years
Starting point is 00:05:32 when it comes to AI, we must have these conversations now because the world is going to change overnight and we are at that point. We are at the point of singularity where there is no turning back and we haven't had these conversations. Do you want to win the AI war? I will tell you we cannot lose it. But to win it, We may have to sacrifice so much on the altar of liberty that I don't want to fight it. So what do we do? Let me explain. Something has shifted in the world, and most people cannot feel it yet.
Starting point is 00:06:10 But if you're paying attention, you understand there is something on the horizon. One day soon, we're going to wake up and we're going to realize, uh-oh, I think we crossed a line here, quietly, silently. While no one was paying attention, everything changed. Over the past few days, while the world has been paying attention to what is going on in Israel in the Middle East, there's a couple of other really important headlines that have caught my attention. And at first, they all seemed unrelated, just random stories from around the world. But when you look closer, and this is what I think I do best, I take things that are seemingly unrelated and say, wait a minute, wait a minute, I think they all fit into this category.
Starting point is 00:06:51 So let me give you some threads here. First thread is China. Beijing just tightened its grip on rare earth elements. These are the minerals that make absolutely everything possible. Your smartphone, your electric car, your missile defense system, your refrigerator. Everything depends on these rare earth minerals. China, because of our inaction and stupid policies over the last couple of decades, control now 80% of the world supply chain.
Starting point is 00:07:24 That cannot stand. Now what they're doing is they're choking it off. They are now closing it up and they are threatening the West. No more rare earth minerals. If that happens, we cannot defend ourselves. Do we have rare earth minerals? Yeah, we have lots of them. But we're not mining them.
Starting point is 00:07:47 It will take a decade to start mining them up in a last. where they mainly are. That's why Donald Trump was saying, we need Greenland. That's what he was saying, rare earth minerals, because they're already mining them there, and we cannot lose them.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Now, they're choking it off, and rare earth stocks exploded overnight. Because whoever controls those minerals controls the future. Now here's the second thread, the Pentagon. Out of nowhere, they made a,
Starting point is 00:08:20 billion dollar emergency order for those same rare earth minerals. That's not normal. That's not paperwork. That is the sound of a military quietly preparing for something, a shortage, possibly in a storm. Like I said, we are because of what Biden did in Ukraine. We are wholly unprepared for any kind of military action. We don't have the materials. And at the same time, everything is changing to high tech. We don't have the rare earth minerals and the chips now to make our guided missile systems. The third thread, J.P. Morgan Chase, one of the most powerful institutions on the planet, just announced this week a $1.5 trillion investment plan in what they called security and resilience.
Starting point is 00:09:18 That's not going to mom and pop shops. That's not going to community loans. That money is being funneled straight into AI, defense manufacturing, and critical minerals. It's as if the Pentagon and Wall Street just linked arms and decided to build a fortress economy together. Then came the fourth thread. Nobody paid attention to this one.
Starting point is 00:09:44 In Europe, the Dutch government just seized control of the Chinese-owned chipmaker on their own soil. They invoked emergency powers and nationalized the company to stop the Chinese influence over the semiconductor industry. That's not good.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Four stories, four continents, four quiet tremors in the ground. When you weave them all together, that's when you begin to understand what all of this means. So let me try to do that. The old world, as we know it, is dying.
Starting point is 00:10:21 The world of free markets, the world of open trade, individual enterprise, the world that lifted billions out of poverty is being replaced now slowly but surely by something new. And this one is being
Starting point is 00:10:37 done in the name of security. And I don't have an answer for this. This is why we must pay attention and talk about it now. Corporations now are aligning with state power. Before we had the tech industry aligning itself with the government to control speech. This is the government aligning themselves with tech, rare earth minerals, etc., etc., to be
Starting point is 00:11:04 able to win the AI war. This, all of this is a single unspoken motive, and that is the race to dominate artificial intelligence. This is the new arms race. This is the new Manhattan Project, the new nuclear weapon, except this is a million times more enslaving the nuclear weapons could ever hope to be. Whoever masters this first, whoever gets to AI and AGI first, will control the economies, the information, even your thought itself. every rare earth mineral, every chip, every line of code, they're all ingredients in that same contest. And the nations are moving fast. They're hoarding materials now. We're beginning to seize companies.
Starting point is 00:12:01 They're building walled off supply chains. This is happening on their side and our side. And the free market in this particular place is no longer free. It's being drafted into a digital cold war. Now, that sounds bad, but now let me tell you the danger that nobody seems to get. When nations go to war, even an economic war, freedom always becomes a casualty. We tell ourselves we're fighting for liberty, and we are because we don't want to live in a society like China, right?
Starting point is 00:12:41 I don't. But when survival's on the line, governments tighten control for our own business. good, they regulate, they ration, they censor. And one day you look up and you realize the line between democracy and technocracy is gone. If the West wants to win this AI war, and we must, then we have to have a conversation. Why are we even fighting this war? because if in winning it we become China, why not let China just win? If we adopt the same top-down control, the same surveillance, the same merger of government
Starting point is 00:13:24 and corporate power, then what did we actually win? Didn't we just trade one master for another? The old global system, free enterprise, open markets, individual liberty. It is being rewritten in real time. And the threads are now all coming together. they're weaving a new tapestry. I don't know what the tapestry looks like. I can guess at what that tapestry looks like, and I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Will it be woven from freedom or will it be woven from fear? If we lose sight of who we are, look, our global leadership, it's already lost sight for who we are. They don't care. They don't care. None of them care. They'll get to this global dominance over. the individual one way or another in their book. You must care.
Starting point is 00:14:21 You must stand for freedom. You must be at the head of having this conversation. Because if we lose sight of who we are, this tapestry is going to be strong, efficient, and unbreakable. But it will not be free. And someday, historians are going to look back at this moment, and they're going to, what happened? They're going to see these quiet headlines,
Starting point is 00:14:49 these invisible decisions that are being made right now, and they realize this is when the new world began. They will be able to look at this point and say, this was it. Why didn't people see it? The answer to that is obvious. We're overwhelmed with everything that we have to do, everything we're looking at.
Starting point is 00:15:10 This has been a very well-planned takeover of freedom. You have to ask yourself, when the weaving is done, whose pattern will we be living in? Because that's what is coming. There's a story in the show prep today that I really want you to read. I'm going to talk to you about it here in a second. Western executives who visit China are coming back terrified. You don't have any idea how far China is ahead of us. And you can say, well, I don't want to be.
Starting point is 00:15:47 China. Well, you will be China and China will be controlling you if we don't push back. But how do we push back without becoming China? Listen to this next story. You can find it in our headlines if you just go and get the free email newsletter at glenbeck.com. Western executives who visit China are coming back terrified. I'm going to explain it to you coming up in just a second. First, let me tell you about our sponsor of the Saffauer. It's Jace Medical Headlines this week have been a mix of relief and reality. Good news. In some places, in chaos and uncertainty still, you know, just one turn away. If there is one thing the past few years have taught us, it's a supply chain, systems and stability can change overnight. And when that happens, the most fragile link is sometimes
Starting point is 00:16:33 the one we take for granted, our access to the medications that our family needs. Jace Medical was created for exactly that reason. They put emergency antibiotics and essential medications into your hands before you need them. You just fill out a simple online form. A licensed doctor will review it, and your Jace case will arrive filled with real prescription-grade medicines for life's what-if moments. It's not fear, it's responsibility, because being prepared is not paranoia. It's what keeps small problems from becoming emergencies. Whether that's a storm or a delay or a crisis halfway around the world, your family deserves the peace of mind that comes with Jace medical and their Jace case. Be ready for the before the world reminds you why you need to be ready.

I can't thank them enough for the short notice. I was invited to the White House over the weekend to join the president.
Starting point is 00:17:55 and honoring Charlie Kirk on his 32nd birthday today by receiving the Freedom Medal. And I'll be there along with a lot of other people. And I really can't wait to experience that and hope to have some time with the president later today to talk about some other things because there's a lot of things going on. By the way, you can watch this ceremony at TPUSA, Turning Point, USA YouTube, and the Rumble channels at 4 p.m. Eastern time. And I hope to see you there. And I'll be back in the studios in Dallas tomorrow to give you more about that as we continue. Okay. So let me give you this story.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Western executives visit China who are coming back terrified. Quote, it's the most humbling thing I've ever seen, said Ford's chief executive about his recent trip to China. After visiting a string of factories, Jim Farley was left astonished by technical innovations. being packed into Chinese cars from self-driving software to facial recognition. Their cost and quality of their vehicles is far superior to that on which I see in the West. We are in a global competition with China, and it's not just EVs. If we lose this, listen carefully, there is no future at Ford. If we lose this, there is no future at Ford.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Another executive, this one from the EU says, I can take you to factories in China now where you'll basically be alongside a big conveyor belt and the machines come out on the floor and begin to assemble parts. You're walking alongside this conveyor and after about 800 meters, a truck drives out. And there are no people involved. Other executives describe a vast dark factory where robots do so much of the work alone that there's no need to even turn on lights for humans.
Starting point is 00:19:57 We visited a dark factory producing some astronomical numbers of cell phones. The process is so heavily automated that there were no workers on the manufacturing side, just a small number who were there to ensure the plant was working. You get this sense of change where China's competitiveness has gone from being about government subsidies and low wages to a tremendous number of highly skilled educated engineers who are innovating like mad between 2014 and 2024 the number of industrial robots deployed in the country rocketed from 189000 to more than two million uh it is just give you just let me give you this last year china added 295 000 robots
Starting point is 00:20:44 added 27,000. The U.S. 34,000. The U.K., 2,500. The U.K. is over. I mean, it's just absolutely over. It boasts 567 robots for every 10,000 manufacturing workers, 449 in Germany for every 10,000, and 307 for the U.S. So this is not, this is, I'm not preaching this because this is,
Starting point is 00:21:14 you know, good for the country. It's bad for workers. It's bad for workers. But China is doing it for a couple of things. First of all, their policy is known. I can't pronounce it in Chinese, but it translates to replacing humans with machines. In China, they don't need to have a Patriot Act. A really super great thing for auto workers. Now, replacing humans with machines is the name of their policy. Okay. And, and, And it's happening everywhere, everywhere. They can develop and execute models in probably half the time that most European car makers can make. And they're doing it partially because they see the decline in their birth rates.
Starting point is 00:22:05 And they know we're not going to have the workers to be able to do this. But what's disturbing is all of these robotics are not. needing power. They also need AI. So they are building these gigantic server farms, which we are still breaking ground on. They're building them. They're building new power plants. One power plant, coal fire power plant every week. And I think 40, can you look this up, Stu? I think it's 40 nuclear power plants a year. We're not building anything. We're not building anything. We're breaking ground on it. Trump has already said he's cutting all of the regulations, but we're still far, far behind. And we are getting close to the point where they win, we lose.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Again, I don't know what to do about it, except have a conversation about it. Because I've read the conversations from the left. I've read the conversations from the World Economic Forum. And they don't care. They will take you and literally put you in a dream. a drug-dugged state and put you online and you're just going to play video games your whole life. That is honestly their plan for a large number of people in the West that will just be no
Starting point is 00:23:31 longer usable, undesirables. Well, I don't like those labels. I didn't like them when the Nazis said them. I certainly don't like them when the World Economic Forum says. This is Glenn Beck. from Washington, D.C. here in just a second. First, our sponsor this half hour is chapter. There is a clock ticking, and if you're 65 or older or your parents are turning 65, it's counting down to December 7th, a date which will live in infamy. That is the date that
Starting point is 00:24:02 Medicare opens enrollment, and you miss it, and you could be stuck with the wrong plan for an entire year. Higher costs, limited doctors, and surprises you just can't afford. It changes every year. They change. Coverage shifts, prescriptions. move, tears, the providers drop out. The plan that worked for you last year might cost you thousands more. That's why chapter exists to help you get it right. Chapters, licensed advisors are not salespeople. They're advocates. They work for you. They don't work for the insurance companies. They analyze every plan in your area. They're the only ones that can do this because it's a tech company. They show you exactly what fits your needs and budget, and they'll walk you through it
Starting point is 00:24:44 and you can switch in minutes. You deserve to spend your retirement enjoying life, not decoding insurance and paperwork. Don't wait until it's too late. Get in now. If you're on Medicare or will be soon or your parents are, reach out to chapter. Call them today.

From the Heritage Foundation in the Rush Limbaugh Studios. By the way, love the text. of the hat to Rush Limbaugh. Kevin Roberts is here. He's the president of the Heritage Foundation.
Starting point is 00:25:32 One of the bravest guys I know, one of the smartest guys I know, and doing a lot of great stuff. The president kind of distanced himself from Project 2025, which is a heritage. I'm not mistaken. But recently, he's come out because Russ Vote is really kind of the architect of a lot of 2025 stuff, right? And the president has seemed to be a little reluctant to get down to it and just slash. Russ, I loved Mike Leasing. He said Russ has been waiting for this since puberty. We have the shutdown.
Starting point is 00:26:15 The president looks like he might unleash Rush. That's a Russ. That's really good news. Because I've been waiting for this. Are we going to do it? I think we're going to do it. And the reason we're going to do it is in every, other policy area, Glenn, it is great to be with you, by the way. Welcome to Heritage.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Yeah, thank you. In every other policy area, the president has been so courageous. I mean, think about what's in the news today with Israel. Think about creating peace all around the world. And for the first time, and as long as I can remember, maybe since I was going through puberty, we're actually winning the messaging on a shutdown. It's crazy. It is. But you know the conservative, not just the conservative base, but the American people, well, they want real substantive reform. That's what they voted for last November. And we're not going to get that unless Russ has the opportunity to work through these reductions in force of back office personnel to actually work through a responsible reduction in the size and scope and expensive government. That's a kind of long-winded way, Glenn, of saying, I've got great faith that President Trump has already told Russ, go for it.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Let's get this done. So when? I'm sorry, I'm just like a kid in a candy shop. I'll be clear. I don't know when because I'm sitting here on the outside very happily. But I can tell you, you referenced our transition project since 1980 when Heritage started the first of these, which we called mandate for leadership. We've been talking about a reduction in government. This is the first time we have a real opportunity for this to actually happen.
Starting point is 00:27:38 So what I can tell our friend Russ and our friend President Trump and Vice President Vance, something they know, which is that tens of millions of Americans voted for them for precisely this to happen. Full speed ahead. keep doing the wonderful messaging that every single member of the cabinet does. What should they be cutting right now? Well, look, when they took office several months ago, there were nearly two and a half million federal employees. We did an analysis over the years at Heritage, which suggested that you could have a third as few of the federal employees. You could have fewer than two million employees. That's a way of saying that when the left says, oh, you're cutting the scientists and all the essential people.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Not at all. You're cutting people who are doing layers and layers and layers and no private business. Could you have that kind of excess? It's nothing against those human persons who are occupying those jobs, right? We care for them. They're fellow Americans. But some of them, let's remember, are ideological hacks who have been protected by an overwrought civil service protection that needs to be reformed as well. At Heritage, we're saying, let's rip the Band-Aid off and let's do this once and forth.
Starting point is 00:28:47 So what happens, Russ does this. What kind of lawsuits follow? What, I mean, can this be permanent? Some of it can be permanent. And again, speculating with some information about how one might go about this reform theoretically, there are probably hundreds of thousands of jobs in the federal government that could be cut permanently without any lawsuit that actually has substance behind it. We're not talking about just unilaterally eliminating XYZ agency. We're talking about going agency by agency at budget lines and eliminating duplicative jobs, the very kinds of things that every private business, especially a small business has to do.
Starting point is 00:29:28 This is common sense reform. But ultimately, to kind of come back to your opening question, Glenn, it needs to happen now. You've got, in Speaker Johnson, a legislative leader who is outstanding on the substance and the messaging of this. He's actually popular with the American people. Crazy. Press the advantage. Now is the time. going back to your comment about our transition project, Heritage led 110 other conservative groups in this transition project.
Starting point is 00:29:55 The conservative base is there. The American people are there. We want to see this happen. I will tell you, I've been saying for the last couple of weeks that if the president would just figure out a way to make sure airplanes don't follow this guy, you know, that the military is paid for, that the checks to the elderly and the hungry are making it home, just take care of the essentials that the Constitution says we're supposed to, nobody would really see the bad impact. And you let this go for eight weeks, as long as the airports are running fine, as long as everything is running on time that the average person, they're going to get to a point where they're going to go, why do we have all these people? Non-essential really does mean non-essential. No, it's true. I was in Dallas Airport Sunday coming back from watching my longhorns beat the sooner, which is awesome. And an acquaintance of mine who's reasonably consistent.
Starting point is 00:30:47 conservative said, you know, isn't the shutdown awful? And this turned into a kind of a public conversation at this gate at the DFW airport where I said, well, it's awesome. It's awesome because we're not cutting the scientists, which was her accusation. We're not cutting essential employees. There are TSA agents here. There are air traffic control people in the tower. There are no delays at the airport. We're paying the troops. These are all matters of justice. How about we cut the fat? And it's just common sense to the average American Glenn that there is a lot of fat in a budget that has created a $37 trillion national debt. If we have any hope of turning the corner economically, financially, fiscally in this country, it starts with this shutdown. I just did a monologue on the price of cold.
Starting point is 00:31:34 A little terrifying. What is that telling us? A lot terrifying. Price of silver, a little terrifying. and then the grab and control of China of the rare earth minerals. And I don't know how to solve this one because right now we're doing some things that we have to do to be able to win this AI race, because if we don't, China will win and we'll all be China. But if we fight it in the wrong way, we'll just be an American version of China.
Starting point is 00:32:04 You know, I don't like these public-private partnerships, et cetera, et cetera. Where do you stand on that? What are your thoughts on this? Generally speaking, I and all of us at Heritage do not like the public-private partnerships. And at the very least, giving the administration benefit of the doubt, we would like more details about how they're going to work. But you make a really good point that it is not a choice between either allowing China to totally co-opt us, which is the path we were on under Biden, or basically to mimic China and become a weaker version of China. We need to be America.
Starting point is 00:32:35 We need to have full-throated endorsement of free enterprise and the free market here, with one exception. Anything that is in the realm of national security, even my most strident libertarian friends say, yes, of course, Kevin, right now, the Chinese Communist Party is the greatest adversary we've ever faced. Let's focus on that. So that's a way of saying, I think the solution to this, which is pretty elegant and largely broadly supported on the political right, is focus on national security. Let's make sure that we are ending the ridiculous over permitting and regulation of our own rare earth minerals. Let's also make sure, if I may make this point, that Lockheed Martin and Raytheon don't have what is, in essence, a duopoly on military. We want them to be involved. Good men and women.
Starting point is 00:33:21 They're good innovation. But there's even better innovation coming from smaller businesses. Big time. That that is what really needs to be honored. And I think if we do that within a couple of years, Glenn, it's going to be obvious to Xi Jinping and his cronies that the United States is back on a level footing with them. So how do we solve the energy problem? You know, President Trump said, I'm going to eliminate all these problems.
Starting point is 00:33:42 We can build nuclear power plants, et cetera, et cetera. And I want that to happen. And I think the government does need to be evolved, at least in just deregulation of everything, while keeping enough regulations to keep us safe. But we need massive buildout, massive build out. We, you know, under FDR, it was, you know, the government that built all the dams and everything else. How do you feel about that? How do you feel about how this is rolling out?
Starting point is 00:34:11 And are we making progress on this? Because I don't see massive power plants being built. And without it, we're going to have rolling blackouts and brownouts all across the country. I agree with your diagnosis fully. And I have been worried about that over the years. I'm more optimistic now because I've had several meetings around the country with people who are investing in micro nuclear plants. And if the government does two things, number one, get out of the way, which specifically means stop the over-regulation, the over-permitting of any
Starting point is 00:34:42 kind of nuclear, including these small areas. Which are completely different than the old ones. And the old ones were the safest energy we've ever made in the history of man. Yeah, that's right. But these are even better. And then secondly, let private business do what private business does. That private capital is going to flow into those places. I mean, think about, places in southwestern Pennsylvania, which of course should have more coal plants. I know. But micro-nuclear is at least the best short-term strategy, especially as we think about all of the energy usage of these data centers and of AI.
Starting point is 00:35:13 And so I'm real keen on that. But we need another 18 to 36 months of this in order for us to have any hope that in four or five years we aren't going to have rolling blackouts. It's an amazing time we live in, isn't it? Look, my kids ask me, you know, they're teenagers, early 20s, and they're, they're optimistic because of their fake, you know, they're supernatural level, but even more than that, or in addition to that, I should say,
Starting point is 00:35:36 they are still very optimistic about America, and do you know why? Because they tell me, and they're all Trump fans, all Vance fans, they said, Dad, these men and the men and women who are in the cabinet, we know fight for us and fight for America. And even when they might get something
Starting point is 00:35:52 wrong or maybe half wrong, it's so rare. And they just, they tell me they're just so optimistic about the future. When I hear them say that, And my wife and I don't coach them to say that. I can't help but think that these very challenging times, we think about the assassination of our mutual friend Charlie Kirk, we think about all the nonsense that goes on. God has put us here at this time.
Starting point is 00:36:13 At this time. And in this place. What an honor. And we can both fight and be zealous and firm as you are every day while also being cheerful and attracting people into this movement because it's a movement about the future of America, the future of truth. And we get to do it. It's totally awesome.
Starting point is 00:36:29 And there's a change. I mean, the sense of Charlie Kirk assassination, there's a massive change of hope that I think comes from the spiritual movement that has been going on. I just purchased a book, a Bible, one of the first Bibles to be printed in America. We couldn't print a Bible under the King, you know, for 200 years. We win the war. We go to Congress and we start printing Bibles. First one is the Aiken Bible.
Starting point is 00:36:57 and that was for use in schools. And it's the only Bible that is endorsed by Congress. Says it on the front page. An endorsement of Congress. The Bible we just bought was the one that was sponsored by George Washington. And so at the top, because they were so expensive to print, they would go to rich people and say, hey, can you sponsor the printing of this Bible? They would put a lot of money in it so others could buy.
Starting point is 00:37:21 So all of the sponsors, George Washington, the Vice President, and his entire cabinet. The testimony of Christ. We got that and we thought, we were still doing our investigation, but we are really pretty sure that that is the last time a president, vice president, and cabinet has testified to the truth of the gospel from that time until Charlie Kirk's funeral. You know, as you were telling me the story about the Bible, which I just learned as you were telling me this, my historian head was going through quickly, although I would definitely. was listening, glad. Promise you, my friend. You did multitask. A little bit.
Starting point is 00:38:01 I was thinking, is there another opera, has there been another event like that? No, not until Charlie's memorial service. When all of the, I mean, almost all of the cabinet, the vice president, the president, all stood up and testified of Christ, it was incredible. And people will say, oh, that's fascist. No, no.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Look, the last time it was happening is when we first had liberty under George Washington. Isn't that crazy? It is. I remember when I was leading this college. of faith and we rejected student loans and grants because we wanted to remain independent we had people who didn't share that faith this is a Catholic college who email me in fact there was a kind of an atheist guy from New York who email
Starting point is 00:38:37 me said I don't agree with your faith but I know that if that gets violated all of my rights is violated too and it stuck with me as a common sense endorsement of what Americans in our founding and sense of have known thank you so much thanks for everything thanks for being with you from the Heritage Foundation Kevin Roberts so let me tell you about about our sponsor, this half hour, this sponsor is Patriot Mobile. You know, it would be bad enough if your mobile company was only giving you the shaft in terms of high monthly bills, but they're doing that, yes,
Starting point is 00:39:08 but they're also adding insult to injury by giving you some of your hard-earned money to causes that you don't agree with. You agree with Planned Parenthood? Social campaigns, activism that works against the values that you hold dear, I don't want a dime going there. But if you're with Verizon, you're actually helping subsidize Planned Parenthood. No, thank you. That's why Patriot Mobile exists.
Starting point is 00:39:30 They're America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and they're built on the idea that you shouldn't have to compromise your values to get reliable service. And they use the same nationwide networks as the big guy, so you get excellent coverage, all the 5G speeds without the woke strings attached.

Starting point is 00:40:17 You know, last time I was in Washington, D.C., my wife and I were walking down the street and some black guy on a bicycle. started circling us and saying, today's the day, I'm going to kill me a white man. And, you know, as enjoyable as that is, sure, on any American street, uh, I didn't get that. Now, I've only been to Washington, D.C. for about six hours, but I didn't get that. And the train station is not a homeless encampment. So things, things are kind of looking up, kind of looking up.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Wow. That sounds like a fun trip so far. So far. Yeah. That's, uh, I'm sure this, uh, this won't be the case in, in New York when they give away free buses under man. mom Donnie, that won't turn into, every one of those won't be a mobile homeless encampment. That's definitely not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:41:26 It's not so much worse than what Spanberger, you know, wants to do in Virginia when she is governor. I mean, day one, she wants to make it a sanctuary state, and she thinks that it's a distraction for local police to work with federal police, which I've never heard it described as that, but, you know, it's least new and interesting. we have we have the the current
Starting point is 00:41:53 lieutenant governor winsome Earl Sears on with us here in just a second we're going to talk about her campaign she's what five points behind yeah Spanberger and those numbers are starting to close hopefully
Starting point is 00:42:09 Virginia will come to its senses I mean I don't know why you would change things are going well why would why would you say, you know what, we need a little more chaos in the street? You know, why don't we reduce the police force and let's stop working with the feds? Interesting, but Virginia, it's up to you. Glenn Beck. All right, let me talk to you a little bit about chirp.
Starting point is 00:42:34 You know, if you have a bad back, like I have a really, really bad back, there's all kinds of stuff that you should know about. One of them is chirp. chirp contour. It is something that a friend of mine has, you know, not everybody can afford a really expensive massage chair or a masseuse to come over all the time. And if you do have a massage chair, you can't get that on the plane with you. You can't take that to the hotel room. Churp, you can. It gives your spine a break from the gravity, stress, and tension that builds up every day. It is really good. It combines spinal decompression, massage, and heat therapy all in one device. It lives in your living room. lives in your suitcase, you can take it with you. It is not physical therapy clinic, but it lives with you and can adjust your back, shape letting you choose from a soft deep tissue or a contoured massage. You can save your own profile, so your height, your intensity, heat level. So relief always feels custom built.

Starting point is 00:45:59 prize picks. Yeah, you know, I've had a great sports year, Glenn. Eagle, Super Bowl champs, Blue Jays and the ALCS.

Starting point is 00:46:59 Price Picks, it's good to be right. If you are in Virginia, you're hearing and seeing this ad on TV. Would it take him pulling the trigger? Is that what would do it? and then you would say he needs to get out of the race, Abigail? You have nothing to say? Abigail. What if he said it about your two children, your three children?
Starting point is 00:47:24 Is that when you would say he should get out of the race, Abigail? Governor. Ms. Earl Sears. I mean, we're talking about murder. We're talking about someone's life being taken from them. Have you nothing to say about that? Are you not going to address it? Really, you can't go any further.
Starting point is 00:47:46 You're a governor. You're supposed to stand up for all the people. Are you saying political murder is all right? Have some political courage. What you have done is you are taking political calculations about your future as governor. Well, as governor, you have to make hard choices. And that means telling Jay Jones to leave the race. It is one of the most powerful moments I've ever seen in.
Starting point is 00:48:14 any debate. And I think we've seen some powerful moments in debates recently. Winsom Earl Sears is with us now. Winsom, when she refused to even look at you, was it your guess she would do that? Or did you actually think she would respond? Because I was dumbfounded by her response. No, it occurred to me that she was, I thought she was being cowardice, but then it occurred to me, no, she's being calculating and cunning, which is worse, because When you look it up, a calculating and cunning politician is one who uses methodologies to turn people against them. They're manipulators, and they're like three, four steps ahead of you. But then, you know, she has former CIA training, and it also says that they show no emotion.
Starting point is 00:49:01 And that's who she is. At least if you're a coward, at some point, you're going to get a backbone, and you're going to say to yourself, my God, I've got to do the right thing. But I never saw that in her. She was cold, and she was smirking so much. And then, you know, she just adjusted herself. And I'm thinking, this woman can't pick up or she doesn't care about us. So what was her calculation on that?
Starting point is 00:49:22 How was she planning on spinning that? Well, because she's thinking, well, if I tell him to get out of the race, then these folks are going to be angry with me. And if I tell him to stay in the race, then these folks are going to be angry with me. And I didn't, you know, I have planned my life. If you look at her life, she's lived a very careful, a very curated life. very calculating life and you can see that you know now I gotta do this and then I got to do this and then I got to do I don't know very many people live that way I mean we're all real people around here and things happen to us but they never
Starting point is 00:49:55 seem to happen to her she always seems to you know just work her way and I'm thinking my God that this is this is this is something else she doesn't have the right common sense ideas and when she knows what the right thing to do she doesn't take those hits and I'm telling you if you're running to be governor You've got to have a backbone, but she's more of a calculating, cunning person. It's, that's usually what we get now from the Uber left is calculation, and they won't tell you who they are until they start enacting until they have power. When she was asked about the question about boys being in girl sports, it's another one.
Starting point is 00:50:34 She didn't give a yes or no, did she? No, she didn't. She just looked and stared off into space as if, you know, I got this. I'm over this. I'm above this. You know, we don't elect our politicians from above us. We elect them from among us, and you need to come back and talk to me, you know, and ask me in my opinion. You know, I want to know me. Do you see me? Do you hear me? Do you want to hear from me?
Starting point is 00:51:01 I didn't leave politics for 20 years and come back to be neelie-mouthed. That's not what we want. And that's what she is. She also wants to make Virginia a sanctuary state on day one, and she doesn't seem to understand the benefit of local police working with the federal government and federal police. Can you explain this? Oh, she does. But you see, they're trying to change things and what they do. So she and people like her in politics, they divide the people, they put in policies that, you know, have us at each other.
Starting point is 00:51:41 throats so then they can say, see, this is why you need us, and they, you know, ride in like the cavalry to come help us. We don't need that because if she had stopped the open borders, fentanyl wouldn't have flowed through and killed five Virginians every week. If she had kept the borders closed, then we wouldn't have had the Chinese communist gangs. We wouldn't have MS-13 and Trendaragua and all those people come through. We wouldn't be now seeing ice, you know, having to do what they're doing to get those who are criminally illegal gone. And so this is their doing. And now they're saying, oh, look how bad ICE is.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Do you see what they're doing? But you did it. You started it. And now you're on the other side. I'm telling you, this is cunning stuff. You really got to, you know, think about this hard. There is, Stu, what was the name of that Islamic organization that she was a part of right after September? 11th. She was very, very proud of being part of this. And I don't know if you know,
Starting point is 00:52:47 the ISA school. ISA school. And I don't know if you're aware of her ties to deep ties to Islamists in Virginia. No, I'm not aware. But see, that's the other thing. You know, she's part of a group that, well, there are five schools here who will not protect girls from the men coming into the bathrooms from the men standing full front nude in the locker rooms with girls and when we talk about these things they try to make us look like we're the people who don't have any sense when even when I ask her about her own children but you know Abigail what if it's your child who comes and she's crying what are you going to do then silence nothing nothing just cold just who wants to be our governor here in Virginia
Starting point is 00:53:43 We can't have her. She's going to destroy our business. You know, we've created so many jobs here. Over 250,000 job openings now, 276,000 people we put back to work. We put in child care money. We are keeping the right to work so you don't have to be forced to join a union and then drive up wages, which doesn't help anybody. We've gotten rid of 91,000-plus job-killing regulations, and businesses are coming.
Starting point is 00:54:09 The U-Hauls are finally coming back to Virginia, stopping here. She doesn't know how to do any of that. She was never here when we were making all these great choices for Virginia. So I don't need on-the-job training. I have been doing the work. Where have you been, Abigail? Oh, in Congress making decisions against us. Now, it was easy, right, when she was one of 435 members of Congress,
Starting point is 00:54:34 but now she's by herself and she's got to stand on all those decisions she's made. Even Joe Biden in his most lucid moments vetoed a bill that she voted for, which kept D.C. where you see the crime is today. She's soft on crime and voted that for criminal penalties to be absolutely reduced for the most heinous crimes. That's what she wants to do in Virginia. And don't even talk about energy policy. She has none. Oh, it's solar and wind.
Starting point is 00:55:03 And what do we do? What do we do when the sun isn't shining? Isn't it actually worse than no energy policy? Isn't the energy policy of Virginia pretty much the energy policy of California? Aren't you guys tied together with the California regulations? So we were until Virginians put Governor Yonkin and myself and our Attorney General Jason Nier's in office, and we got us out of there because, wait a minute, you did see that even Gavin Newsom now, is suing the oil refineries and the gas industry because they want to leave California.
Starting point is 00:55:45 You've been against them, Gavin, all this time. You and the other Democrats, and now you're suing them to force them to stay. This is nonsense. None of this makes any sense. And you know, Glenn, here's why this is important that we have a head on our shoulders. The industrial revolution is still happening. Technological revolution is still happening. I was reading about China two days ago.
Starting point is 00:56:06 They have factories in China that don't even have any people. The lights aren't even on because it's all robotic. So while we're trying to figure out who a woman is, they have moved on. China's going to eat our lunch if we're not careful. So what is the big thing that would be the difference between you and Yonken administration and certainly a Spanberger administration? What's the big thing that you bring to the table? Well, we bring a continued success story and success beget success.
Starting point is 00:56:42 And for a long time, Abigail was running on our successes. I mean, we've lowered taxes to the tune of returning $9 billion back to the people of Virginia. Even as we kept our AAA bond rating, even as we teacher pay 18%, even as we've been attracting businesses, even as we have decompressed the pay for our law enforcement and Department of Corrections personnel. I mean, even as we've put in new programs to help those who are mentally ill, I mean, we've done so we've put roads and bridge money. We've done so much, and it's because we know how to do this. I mean, I've run my own business.
Starting point is 00:57:22 The governor has run businesses. My opponent doesn't know any of this. She would just destroy everything. Put all those regulations back. Put all those taxes back. put us back in the greenhouse gas initiative of California. I mean, every single Democrat voted for this green initiative, and you know what it's doing?
Starting point is 00:57:42 It's driving up our costs in Virginia. And you've probably heard of our energy bills where people are paying $800 a month, up to $1,600 a month, and winter is coming. This is what the Democrats have given us, and when I'm governor, I'm going to repeal that darned act because it does nothing but, drive up costs. We cannot have Abigail. She will destroy everything that we've done. You know, I know nobody mentions this, and it's not really important. It's not important to me, but it is worth mentioning, at least. On the left, they'd be running, this is all this campaign would be
Starting point is 00:58:16 about. You were the first woman elected to lieutenant governor, the first black woman and female veteran to hold a statewide office in Virginia. You will be the first black woman to be a governor if you win in Virginia. That's pretty remarkable. It's remarkable for a country that everybody, you know, on the left keeps saying is a racist country. You know who said we were not a racist country? Biden.
Starting point is 00:58:43 And by the way, Kamala said that there was no systemic racism in America. And they said that in 2021. I guess they forgot that a little bit later because, what, their side wasn't liking that. And I'm from a third world country. Think of this. I am an immigrant, and yet here I sit. Second and command in the former capital of the Confederate States,
Starting point is 00:59:04 don't tell me that America is not a great country. And yet we have enough people on the left teaching their children, Glenn, to hate their own country. Their own country. What in the world? It's amazing. Winsom, thank you so much. We pray for you.
Starting point is 00:59:24 We hope you do really well. in the election. How long of the, how long of the voting, early voting been going on now? Oh, we've been voting since, no, we're about in our fourth week now. We've been voting since September 19th. Yes, and this is what the Democrats have given us open season. And that's why we've got to win. We've got to change things. And by the way, the polls are looking very good. The Trafalgar polls show that I am two down, but it's margin of error is four. So I'm either two up or right in the middle. And the Washington Post, of all, of all newspapers, I would hope that they would tell the truth, but they're showing polls where I'm 13 down, and they know it to be a
Starting point is 01:00:07 line. We can't have press like that. This is America. We look to our press to give us truth, or maybe not. Yeah, I was going to say, Washington Post had kind of given up on, but I appreciate it. Thank you so much. We're going to talk about the polls here in just a second. Winston, thank you so much. Where can people go to join your campaign and help you out? Yes, she's outraising me four to one, but by the grace of God, we're still standing. I need your help. Winsome for governor.com. Winsome, F-O-R, governor.com. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I just love her. I just think she would make a great, great governor. She's really smart. She's business-minded, common sense, and really has a lot of empathy. I just love her.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Okay. Back in just a second. Let me tell you about relief factor. You know, it would be great if somebody could just carry you around on a comfy bed all the time to work, the store everywhere. Wouldn't it be nice? I mean, we should have been Egyptians, you know, like 3,000 years ago. Of course, I need to have to have slaves, so maybe not. You could just, you know, move around again.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Maybe, you know, make your back and your knees and your shoulders. If they would stop complaining for once, it would be really, really good. I've looked into the carrying around a bed thing. It's super expensive. You know, much better is just to get rid of the pain with relief factor. It's a daily supplement designed by doctors to support your body's natural response to inflammation, the kind that makes you feel like you're aging in dog years. And it's made with ingredients that you've actually heard of, not something that sounds like a science project.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Take it consistently. You might be surprised how much better everything feels. No bed-carrying crew required. Just you moving like you are meant to move all along. So try relief factor today because getting older is inevitable. But feeling older doesn't have to be. Don't you like to be Trump's age and moving like he moves? You can get their three-week quick start, a try for only 1995.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Please visit Relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief. 800, the number four relief. 10 seconds, station ID. A couple of things I have to hit. We are all sold out for our Mercury One gala, For His Glory. I mentioned it yesterday, and the tickets flew, and that is on Saturday. However, our silent auction is up, and if you would like to help, you can go to Mercury1.org. Look for our silent auction.
Starting point is 01:02:34 there's lots of really cool stuff. We'll go through it maybe sometime tomorrow. But it all goes to our maximum impact fund, which does two things, pays everybody's salary, et cetera, et cetera. So when I go on the air and say 100% of everything raised today goes to this cause, we mean it.
Starting point is 01:02:50 But also the maximum impact fund, if we can raise a lot more than, you know, what takes and we keep things bare bones, we use that so we can act before I raise money on the air. So it might need a million dollars to be able to just to grab all the food and supplies and everything else and put them on a, you know, cargo plane and ship them to the disaster area. You know, last time with all the hurricanes, we can do that with our maximum impact fund. And that's what everything raised this week goes to. So you can go, the gala is sold out, but you can go and look for our silent auction.
Starting point is 01:03:28 And I think you can raffle. Oh, they're raffling off a truck, et cetera, et cetera, it's such a really nice one. Just go to Mercury One.com. I am in the Rush Limbaugh Studios at the Heritage Foundation here in Washington, D.C. I'll be back tomorrow. I flew in late last night to be part of the National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk. I'll be with the president today in the White House at 4 o'clock. They're doing a ceremony, so he will receive or his wife will receive the award of the Medal of Freedom. This is the highest civilian honor presidential medal of freedom.
Starting point is 01:04:01 That's happening at 4 o'clock today. You can watch that on TPUSA on their YouTube channel or Rumble. Okay. Can you go over some of the polls here, Stu? Yeah, sure. So the race has been interesting in that it had, you know, people will call Virginia a purple state. I tend to call it a light blue state. It is not, you know, Republicans can win there in good times.
Starting point is 01:04:25 But I think it's difficult in normal times for Republicans to win in Virginia. And so this race had kind of played. out that way in that, you know, you have a president that's not particularly popular in Virginia right now. And so the race, despite the fact that, as you point out, the Youngkin administration with Sears as part of it has really been incredibly successful for Virginia. The race has been in that sort of high single digits range, mid to high single digits range this entire time. What's changed, of course, over the past couple weeks is the Jay Jones situation, which does seem to have at least made some dent in that lead.
Starting point is 01:05:06 If you look at the most recent polls, Trafalgar has polling that is interesting on this point, in that Trafalgar had Maieris down by 3.8 points against Jay Jones as of a week or two ago. Now he is, Maierrez is up by 5.8. So a massive switch since the scandal started with him. Seems to have moved the polls a little bit in Winsome Earl Sears. favor as well. She was trailing, according to Trafalgar, by 5.2 points a couple
Starting point is 01:05:38 weeks ago, and it's now 2.6 is the margin. So it is a close race, though you'd still probably would say she's the underdog and needs all the help she can get.

There is a phrase that is carved into the marble at the Supreme Court. And it says equal justice under the law. Equal justice under the law. That is the one thing that we have really forgotten about here in America, it seems. You want special justice. You want justice for this group or that group. But no, no, I want equal justice. It's why justice is blindfolded. Justice should never see who's at the bench. They should see what are the facts of the case. And who's at the bench should not make a difference. I don't care if you're rich or you're poor, you're homeless or you're Bill Gates. I don't
Starting point is 01:08:13 really care. I want to know the facts. And then we judge that not looking at the person. That's the closest we can come to perfect justice. And the farther we, the more we take that blindfold off of justice, the more corrupt justice becomes. And we know this because that's why if you were black back in the day, you couldn't get a fair hearing. You couldn't get a fair trial because justice wasn't blindfolded. Okay. That's why it's up on the Supreme Court, equal justice under the law. And it's not a suggestion. It's not a slogan. It is the beating heart of the American experiment. No man, no movement, no institution, no creed stands above the law. Now, the reason why I bring this up is because last week I was at a turning point event in
Starting point is 01:09:05 North Dakota. And I said all the way through, I hate these questions and answers things because I don't believe I hate conflict and I also don't believe anybody is doing anything other than trying to win. When you're in a crowd, somebody is trying to win. I don't play that game. I don't like that game. I like honest questioning. And you also have to have a debate where you can talk about you can talk about subtle things. You know, you have to be able to look at things. Not everything is black and white. There is right and wrong. Yes, but now how do we get there? For instance, last week I talked to you, or yesterday, I talked to you about AI.
Starting point is 01:09:46 Earlier, it seems like last week already. Earlier in our number one in the podcast, I was talking to you about AI. And I don't know the right answer on that yet. We have to have that debate. But an honest debate on things. So last week I started taking questions, and boy, did they take these and selectively edit? Interesting. But I was asked, you know, Glenn,
Starting point is 01:10:11 how come APAC, that's the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, how come they don't register as a foreign agent under Farah, the Foreign Agents Registration Act? Well, I know that Hunter Biden was supposed to, you know, register under that, or was he? Now, I said at the time, I don't know anything about it. I haven't looked into that, but I will do my homework on it, because I want to know. And my guess is, if they don't, then there's something wrong with our law. Okay, either they're getting special favors that they shouldn't or many people are getting special favors and they shouldn't. Everyone should have to obey the law and equal treatment. Justice is blind. Okay, so let me tell you now, I went home, I did my homework. Let me tell you what I found on APEC. First of all, it is bigger than APEC, much bigger. It is a mirror held up to an uneven application of American law. Let me tell you what Farah is supposed to do.
Starting point is 01:11:11 It was passed in 1938 to stop the Nazi propaganda. There were lots of Nazis here in America. And it requires anyone that is working on behalf of a foreign government to register as a foreign agent. Seems simple, but is it? It requires transparency and accountability. But here's where it gets murky in the law. A-PAC is an American lobbying organization. registered under the Lobbying Disclosure Act, not Farah, because it's funded and run by American citizens, not a foreign government.
Starting point is 01:11:50 Now, that's the legal line. Now, I don't agree with this, but that's the legal line. But APAC is not the only one running this. So why are we only hearing about the Jews controlling the government and APAC doing it when they're not the only one? Did you know the National Iranian American Council, the Armenian Assembly of America, the Turkish Heritage Organization, even Saudi Arabia's Aramco, their subsidiary, Motiva, operate under exactly the same, you want Saudi Arabia and Aramco? Why are they not paying it? Why are they not registered under Farah? Now, some people will defend this because they say these are groups of despora, they are
Starting point is 01:12:33 U.S. based sub-subsidaries, they have domestic roots, etc. I don't buy any of that bull crap. I mean, that's me. I mean, we can argue it, but I don't agree with it. Because I think it is a really dangerous loophole that allows quiet foreign money to come in and influence and hide behind a U.S. address. But here's where it gets serious. This is not just a legal issue. This is about truth. When you and I, or anyone else, begin selecting only the facts that make our point, while ignoring those that don't, we stop doing research and we start doing propaganda. If you've listened to voices that pick and choose data to inflame your anger, you have to start asking yourself this question. Is my source being honest? I ask you all the time. Do your own
Starting point is 01:13:26 homework. I'm the guy I think who popularized that with the youth now. Do your own homework. Don't take my word for it. Do your own homework. But that requires that you do homework on all fronts. You ask honest questions. Am I wrong? Is this wrong? I want to read the opposite side and I want to see what's credible on both sides and bring it together. Example, once you learn that the Iranians, Cubans, Saudis, Armenians, and Turks all have the same objection. yet it's only the Jewish organization that is accused of secretly controlling Washington. Do you see a disturbing pattern here? Because the argument starts to sound less like a legal concern and more like something far older and darker.
Starting point is 01:14:13 And that was my point. I said, look, you don't have to agree with Israel. I don't want to fight their wars. I don't want to do anything. I support them in the right to defend themselves as they see fit. Okay. I don't support anything like genocide. I don't believe they're doing genocide.
Starting point is 01:14:30 I do believe Hamas is. And I do believe you can make a very, very clear case that Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran are evil. And I said, look, you don't have to accept Israel. And you don't have to accept Hamas. You can say nobody's a good guy in this. But when you look at things like APEC, if there's more, and this is what I said,
Starting point is 01:14:55 if it's about something legal, then we have to correct that. And the argument would be over. I could say what I'm saying today and say, look, we should have listened to Tom Cotton. He introduced legislation on this. All of this has to stop. So let's do that. Why are we dividing ourselves on an ancient, you know, Jews control the world thing when that's not even true about APAC, okay? Because everybody else is doing it too. The problem isn't Judaism. It's not even. Islam. It's not any one nation. Quite honestly, if you want to be honest, the problem is our laws and our politicians. Equal justice under the law. It must be our demand every day. Jew, Muslim, Gentile, Hunter Biden. Everyone. Everyone should be the same under the law. What's happened instead is that this loophole has become a weapon.
Starting point is 01:15:54 And people twist it to their own, you know, their own delight to suggest that APEC, you know, runs the U.S. government and the Pentagon and the president, which is laughable, especially this week. That is laughable. Just look at the events of the last few days. Do you really think that Donald Trump is being controlled by Israel? Have you heard what he has said to Benjamin Netanyahu? Have you seen all of the Egyptians and the Saudis and everybody else in the Arab world all now lining up for this peace? When he bombed Iran, he's not fighting Israel's war. When he bombed Iran, he wasn't on Israel.
Starting point is 01:16:35 It wasn't for Israel any more than it was for Egypt and Saudi Arabia. You found out yesterday that the one thing they all unite on is that Iran is the real problem. them there. And what he did was a show of peace through strength, the same principle that ended the decades of stalemate between Arab nations and Israel. And here's another thing. When you stop sending pallets of cash to your enemies and you start saying, don't do that anymore, and I'm serious, they tend to listen. And what was the result? You could speculate, and I worried at the time, I said it on the air. I'm worried that this could escalate things, but it didn't.
Starting point is 01:17:21 So what is the result? The result was not an endless war where we're over fighting, you know, in the Middle East. I don't want that, neither do you. The result was true Arab-Israeli peace, the first chance of true peace in a millennia. And now he's taken that credibility of saying, look, I'll be. tough on the Arabs. I'll be tough on the Iranians. I'll be tough on the Jews. I'll be tough on Hamas. However, I will say Hamas, you do these things, and I'm with you. He yesterday invited Iran into the League of Nations. Look, just because we bombed you, it doesn't mean we hate you. We want
Starting point is 01:18:04 you to have peace. So come on in. Now he's taking that same credibility, and now he's turning it towards Russia and Ukraine, and he's doing that. He's meeting with the leadership of Ukraine on Friday. And he's going to apply the same exact principle. And here's what's going to happen. The same people who said he was once a Russian puppet will now accuse him of getting us into a war with Russia and do Ukraine's bidding.
Starting point is 01:18:34 Which one is it? Which one is it? May I suggest a third, reason. Maybe, just maybe, for the first time I believe in my lifetime, we are seeing an American president doing America's bidding, trying to broker peace, trying to keep us out of these endless wars. Because honestly, isn't that what all of us want? I don't care who you voted for. Do you want more foreign wars? Because I don't. I'm tired of it. Do you want see more blood and treasure spilled in some unknown country? Isn't that what, isn't that what we all want is an end of these wars?
Starting point is 01:19:17 No more young Americans spilling their blood in distant deserts or frozen tundras for somebody else's freedom who I don't even know if they really want freedom? I want freedom here. I want to, I want to be able to show the world what people who actually understand what freedom is, know what the high price is that we have to pay for our own freedom, not your freedom, our freedom. our freedom, what we can do with that freedom. We want to be a shining city on the hill that everybody can look at and go, look at those guys. I want to be more like them. Not going over to other countries and jamming it down their throat.
Starting point is 01:19:56 I want peace, but peace grounded in strength and honesty and the unbreakable, carved in stone promise of equal justice under the law. That's what we have to do to restore faith in the republic. We have to stop taking little bits and pieces. Look at the whole thing and say, what's corrupt? Well, what's corrupt here might have started as a good thing, but it's no longer a good thing. We have to change the law. Equal justice under the law. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:20:29 If you are doing the bidding, Hunter Biden or A-PAC, or the Iranian Council or Armenian Council, whatever, I'm sorry. We have to tighten this down because, Money has changed. It's changed. Things that were happening in 1945, 1955, 65, 85, 2005, 2005, 2005, 2005, 2005, 2005, 2005, 2005, 2005, it's changed. And I don't want any foreign influence coming into this country unless we know exactly your, you're influencing for a foreign country. Because this is what makes us different than every other country that's come before. And that's not ideology. That's not party. That's not tribe. That's how we have to define America again if we're going to survive. So you may not like it. Sorry, but you asked me to do my own homework on APAC. There it is. Back in a minute.
Starting point is 01:21:27 Okay, let me tell you about good ranchers. You know, there was a time where family names were branded in the sides of cattle, you know, when the cattle of the land fed this country. Back then, the American ranchers were the backbone of this nation. still are, but everybody says that time is fading, disappearing thanks to giant corporations. Hey, we can get our meat from Bill Gates. Good heavens, man, what's wrong with you? The label, when you go to the store and you buy meat, it says product of the USA and has a little flag on it, because I feel so patriotic when it says that. The meat may not have ever done anything
Starting point is 01:22:03 on American soil, except been wrapped in styrofoam and plastic and had that little label. It probably shipped from miles and miles, tens of thousands of miles away. Good Ranchers is trying to change all that. They partner directly with American farmers and ranchers. They deliver 100% American beef, chicken and seafood straight to your door. Every box helps keep American ranchers in business and preserves a way of life that built this country. From now through Thanksgiving, Good Ranchers is asking families to share a meal together every Thursday. Every week, one lucky family is going to win a Thanksgiving ham.

So there is this town in West Texas that is apparently being taken over by somebody who is trying to move a group of city slickers into West Texas. There's nothing going on in this West Texas. I mean, if you're not in oil, there's nothing going on.
Starting point is 01:23:47 It's a very small town. And the Fat Boys Cafe, the owner of that is missing. Kay and she said one of these new residents came into her restaurant, two men and a girl entered the restaurant, she likes to talk to customers. And she said, you know, what do you guys doing here? What did you move for? Because there's not a lot of jobs there. She was told, quote, we're here to take over your county. I'm going to one of your commissioners. And Ms. Kay said she was very serious. She wasn't playing around. And it seems like far-fetched strategy, but it's actually happening and we have the Houston Chronicle investigative reporter. Houston Chronicle is not some right wing rag if you want. This, this, you know, somebody usually goes the other way,
Starting point is 01:24:34 but this is a very fair reporter who went out and tried to find out what's really going on. He's joining us next. It's amazing. Glenn Beck. So you know how, you know, you have a house and it has locks on every door and every window, maybe you get cameras now watching everything that goes on on the porch, maybe in your backyard. Well, there's one thing you probably forgot to protect because while you're worried about porch pirates stealing your packages, which is a legitimate worry these days, there are cyber thieves also trying to steal the deed
Starting point is 01:25:02 to your entire home. It's called home title fraud, and it happens when someone forges your name onto your title, takes out loans against your property, and vanishes leaving you with the mess. You won't see them breaking window. You won't see them jumping into your house, but you will see the foreclosure notice.
Starting point is 01:25:19 And home title lock is kind of like, a security system against this thing, right? The one thing your alarm can't protect. They monitor your title 24-7. They alert you the second anyone tampers with it. You can lock up your biggest investment before somebody else does, and that's, you know, this is bigger than a couple packages disappearing.

Radio show starts here in just a second. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. There is a story that is happening that is really unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:27:00 I mean, it's really hard to believe. And we have the Houston Chronicle investigative reporter that will tell us the story, his investigation, on something that started popping up over the summer. There is a takeover, seemingly, seemingly, a takeover of this Texas town. It's a small town in West Texas, very small population. It's harsh, harsh living.
Starting point is 01:27:29 And these people from the city are moving in. They're no, I mean, what are you doing? Working in the city, you're coming to West Texas. Most of them didn't have any idea how harsh it was to live in West Texas. But it appears as though they are trying to flip the control of the state or the control of that area and become commissioners and mayors and everything else. It's a weird story. We're trying to make sense of it with him in just a second.
Starting point is 01:27:55 First, let me tell you about our sponsor. There is a place we need to get back to in this country if we're ever going to survive the judgment that I think is upon us, and it's a place where we remember that life is sacred. Somewhere along the road, we have forgotten. Stu, is it the day to do the organ harvesting that's happening?
Starting point is 01:28:12 It's always a good day for organ harvesting, Glenn. Yeah. Today is a good day for that? Of course. Yeah, I've had this story on my desk for two weeks, and it's absolutely incredible what is happening with the maid program up in Canada and the organ harvesting that is going on. It's remarkable. We really got to
Starting point is 01:28:32 get on the right track on this thing. There are a lot of people who haven't forgotten what life means, and that's what's pre-born is all about. Restoring the reverence from life, one heartbeat at a time. They provide free ultrasounds for women who've been told there's no other way, and in that moment, when a mom sees her child and hears the heartbeat, something changes. Abortion continues to rise. Abortion is expanding their their culling, if you will, and preborn is extending their life-affirming care in the darkest corners of our nation to help more hurting women.
Starting point is 01:29:05 They don't want to lecture, they don't want to be, they don't want, they, all they want is just, can you help me through this? I'm alone in the world. If you have the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way your tax deductible donation of $15,000 to place a machine in a needy women's self center, saving countless lives for years to come. But anything, anything, $28 provides a free ultrasound. And then also they need to raise the money for making sure that mom has diapers and everything else for the first two years of life. They, they support both the mom and the baby. Preborn.com slashback. Preborn.com slash back or go to pound 250. Just bow pound 250. Say the
Starting point is 01:29:48 keyword baby. Sponsored by preborn. All right. Let me bring in Dexter Heimer. He is a Houston Chronicle investigative reporter, and he has been reporting on this seemingly crazy story. When you first heard about this, Eric, did you have a hard time believing it? Because I know I did. I did have a hard time believing it, at least the particulars of it, in terms of the general idea that something crazy could happen out. in Loving County, that was a little more believable. I've been covering the area for a little while,
Starting point is 01:30:27 and it's a peculiar spot out in far west Texas. Okay. Can we rule out one thing? Is any of this, because it seems to be, when I first heard it, they're saying a lot of black people are moving in, and I'm like, okay, well, maybe that's okay. Maybe that's okay, white people. Is this in any way influenced by race, do you think? Me not. You know, At first blush, it might seem that way, but my reporting didn't really show that. It is true that the group of people moving in is called the melanated people of power. It refers to their skin color. Most, if not, all of them appear to be black.
Starting point is 01:31:06 But I also interviewed people in Loving County, including some black folks who live there. And, you know, they said that there wasn't anything really racial about what was happening out there. Okay. So who are these people that are moving in? how is this happening and what are they after? So they are followers of a guy named Dr. Malcolm Tanner, who's an Indiana resident. And over the summer, he started promoting on his social media platforms, this program, where that if you moved out to Loving County, Texas, you would get a free home and $5,000 a month
Starting point is 01:31:44 in free income. And so far about three dozen people that have moved out there. And is that a lot for this town? What is the population of this county? So Lovin County has about 70 people in all. It has one city called Mentone. So for commissioner seats, those seats that have precincts, you can win with about a dozen votes if you want to run for and win as a sheriff or as a county judge, which in Texas is the highest administrative office in a county. you can have that office for, you know, maybe four or five dozen votes.
Starting point is 01:32:21 So, yeah, 30 people is starting to build a substantial voting block out there. And what is this, who is this guy in Indiana that's doing this? So he's kind of mysterious. He's a charismatic guy. He has claimed that he started this melanated people of power to, you know, enfranchise folks who typically don't have political or economic. economic power of their own. He claims he's an entrepreneur. He claims that he's a philanthropist, but really nailing down things about him is pretty difficult. He's got a trail of lawsuits in
Starting point is 01:32:59 Indiana against the city of Muncie, against Grant County, having to do with property disputes. He calls himself doctor, but he doesn't identify which institution conferred that degree on him. But as I said, what he does have is a fairly sizable social media presence. And it Seems to his message teams to be speaking to a lot of people, you know, all over the country. The folks who have moved to Loving County have come from Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, some within Texas, but really from all over. So you don't improve somebody's station in life by giving them free housing in $5,000 a month. You create jobs. You help them create their own life and their own path.
Starting point is 01:33:43 what is his plan other than just continuing to pay for these, you know, these trailers, because they're mobile homes, right? So paying for the mobile homes and then the $5,000 a month, that's not a plan. Yeah, I don't know if he has a grand economic plan. You know, what I can tell you is that based on the people who have moved out there and kind of reading it on social media, it's, you know, the idea of a free home for someone who can't otherwise afford one or, you know, for whom that seems out of reach is, is a pretty powerful lure, right? And he has said that, you know, if we get enough people out here,
Starting point is 01:34:22 we'll kind of, you know, goose industry and bring in businesses. I mean, the truth is that Loving County is doing very well for itself. Right now, it's in the middle of the Permian Basin, which is the big oil and gas producing region of Texas. And they have a, they have about, you know, say 70 permanent residents and their budget this year is going to be about $60 million for a little, so a little less than a million dollars per person. You know, overwhelmingly that money comes from oil and gas taxes that they collect. So there's already a lot of money out there. There's, you know, besides oil and gas, there's a couple of support service businesses, you know, some gas stations, one or two restaurants, but not a ton else.
Starting point is 01:35:06 Okay, so what is the city doing to investigate, to stop this, or can they do anything? Well, one of the really interesting things to me about Levin County is that it does have this very long history of kind of dicey voter registration and voting out there. There are a couple of powerful families out there. They've been feuding in recent years. and in order to kind of keep and maintain power, they've been pretty loose with voter rules. So people who may have moved away from there, years and years ago are still registered to vote there.
Starting point is 01:35:45 So the result of that is that there are many more people registered to vote in Loving County than who actually lived there. That's a long way of saying that do a lot of people, saying that a lot of people who live out there, this is kind of the chickens coming home to Roos, that they've promoted and lived with. this system for quite a while and here's someone who's come in, you know, looking to take advantage of it. So the only thing they can really do is, you know, make sure that all the boxes
Starting point is 01:36:11 are checked on the voter registration forms. Outside of the county, however, there have been some investigations mounted. A couple of state representatives have asked for investigations by the Texas Secretary of State, which is the office that oversees elections here in Texas. There's a U.S. representative, Chip Roy, who was asked for an investigation. And then yesterday, our Attorney General, Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit asking for a restraining order and also accusing the group of violating a handful of local laws. His purpose seems to be trying to shut it down. What do you, where does this end up? I mean, as a reporter, I know you don't report on future news, but where, where does this lead? Well, I mean, the most obvious,
Starting point is 01:37:02 point is that living in Loving County, particularly in the conditions that these folks are living, is pretty difficult, right? I mean, it's a arid, isolated place. It's very hot out there. There's no trees. It's just a bunch of, you know, creosote and caliche and scrubland. And so if they root, yeah, it's, it's hard. And there's no services out on this piece of property that Malcolm Tanner has purchased. He purchased two five acre plots out there in January and they're, they're about 30-minute drive out, you know, kind of rough oil company roads outside of the only town. It's about an hour away from the nearest grocery store. So if your plan is to live out there in these conditions without water, without sewage, without electricity, and you want
Starting point is 01:37:50 to run for office. How are they doing that? Well, they, you know, they haul in water. I think they have some generators out there. They have some RVs that may have their own kind of, you know, temporary power systems. But if your plan is to run for office and the primaries are not until March of next year, that's quite a while to basically camp, you know, in some pretty harsh conditions. So it may resolve itself and people may, you know, people, as you pointed out, are coming from cities and urban areas and they may not be accustomed to the harsh condition. So it may resolve on its own. There may be the authority of the government, you know, kind of pushing them out through a variety of alleged broken laws.
Starting point is 01:38:37 And if that doesn't happen, then it'll be fascinating to see if they actually can win office out there. What are you working on next for this story? I've been following up on the investigations that have been done by the, you know, as I said, the attorney general. I'll be following up the district attorney out there is also a mounting. an investigation. I'm trying to learn some more about Malcolm Tanner. I'm trying to learn some more about the people who have moved out there and what their backgrounds are. And of course,
Starting point is 01:39:08 we'll be following the elections, which, as I said, are always fascinating in Levin County. Almost every election there is challenged based on residency. So it's a never-ending source of news despite the small population. You know what it reminds me of is the Old West. I mean, this kind of stuff happened in the old west where the big, you know, the big money would want to change a town and they would bring people in and, and they would change it and control it. I mean, it really harkens back to the 1800s in some ways, doesn't it? Yeah. I mean, there is an element of, you know, kind of being isolated way out there in the middle of
Starting point is 01:39:46 nowhere in West Texas. I mean, even the names of the people, you know, the old time sheriff who's the patriarch of the kind of powerful family there. his name was punk and the current county judge's names is skeet. And yeah, it's a very kind of, it's a place of rugged individuals and I won't say lawlessness, but definitely, you know, it's, it's out there. Yeah, it's out there. Eric, thank you so much. Appreciate it. And keep us up to speed on this. We'll be following your stories. Houston Chronicle investigative reporter, Eric Dexheimer, following what's happening in Loving County, Texas.
Starting point is 01:40:26 It is so weird, Stu. All the things that are happening in Texas where they are doing everything they can to take Texas and flip it blue. And I'm not convinced that that's what this is. No. You know, I don't know what this is, but it's weird.
Starting point is 01:40:43 It's really, really weird. Yeah, it reminds me of Wild Wild Country, the documentary on Netflix. It was a series that came out a few years ago where it was a story of what I can't remember the name of the group off the top of my head, but they went into Washington or Oregon and tried to take over a town like the 70s or 80s maybe. By the way, an incredible documentary if you've never seen it. Incredible documentary.
Starting point is 01:41:07 It's just an insane story. It seems like groups do this every once in a while. Someone with a big ego or, you know, some would accuse some of these groups as a cultish type behavior. Like just move into areas and just take them over and try to take over the town. council and everything else so they can run their little thing the way they want to run it. I'm always fascinated by those stories. Yeah, I'm not sure what this one is. But people are comparing this with Elon Musk.
Starting point is 01:41:33 What's the problem? Elon Musk did this. No, Elon Musk was creating thousands of jobs. Elon Musk was like, I'm going to build you a house and send you $5,000 and you don't do anything for it. That's not what Elon Musk. And sending you into a trailer with no services whatsoever. I mean, his town is going to be a model town already is, a model town in Texas. He's creating something and creating jobs.
Starting point is 01:41:59 There's a purpose for people to move there. Here there is no seeming purpose. If you've never been to West Texas, imagine the moon if it was a lot closer to the sun. I mean, a lot closer to the sun. That is West Texas. They're in for quite a surprise if you've never been to West Texas and you're like, I'm moving to West Texas. Oh, good luck with that. Good luck with that.
Starting point is 01:42:29 It takes real pioneers to do that. Okay, let me tell you about the Bernalotcher. There was a time when the only way to level a playing field was in a dangerous situation was having a gun, something that challenges the lives in an instant and brings results that you can't take back. Today, there is a different option for people who want to protect themselves without resorting to lethal force. You know, I don't want my kids carrying a gun until they feel they're really, really responsible with it. And, you know, but I also don't want them going on to campuses and everything else without some sort of protection. And I have to tell you, if you're over 18, 100% legal in all 50 states, you don't need a permit, no background check, nothing.
Starting point is 01:43:09 It's Burna, the Burna Compact Launcher. It's a handheld CO2 powered equalizer, small enough to carry, but strong enough to stop a threat and designed to do the job. without the life-altering consequences of a firearm. It fires pepper and kinetic projectiles, can disable an attacker from a safe distance. It has tear gas. It gives you time to escape, call for help, and take control of a situation before it escalates. And like I said, legal in all 50 states. So you can keep it in your backpack, your bedside glove box, wherever.
Starting point is 01:43:39 Go to burna.com slash glen. B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn. I'm going to their facilities in Fort Wayne, Indiana this week. I'm going to be up there for several reasons, I think, on Thursday, and I'm really excited to be up there. Burna, B-R-N-A.com slash Glenn. Learn more about the Burna launcher, bernah.com slash glen. You can try before you buy it a sportsman's warehouse. You can find the location near you at burner.
Starting point is 01:44:05 At berna.com slash Glenn. 10 seconds station I'm in Washington, D.C. today. I'm going to be at the White House with the president and others today. It's Charlie Kirk's 31st birthday. And, you know, he was cut short, but September 10th robbed him of this birthday, but he's going to be remembered. It's actually his 32nd birthday.
Starting point is 01:44:43 He was 31. He is going to be given the, the biggest medal weekend award anyone. It's the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and he's going to get that at a ceremony today, and I'll be there. You can watch it on TPSA or wherever. Rumble, I think, is carrying the whole ceremony as well
Starting point is 01:45:04 at 4 p.m. Eastern time. It should be pretty special. Should be pretty special. Okay, Stu. I mean, I've got the organ harvesting I could go to. I mean, unless you've got something else, you could talk about it. Do we have enough time for organ harvesting talk here, Sarah?
Starting point is 01:45:21 No, she says no. She's been trying to shut this down the last two weeks. Wow. You really has been. I think she might be, I'm just going to throw it out there. This is not an accusation legally, but like she might have some investments in the organ harvesting field that she's trying to, you know, I don't know, move along in the right direction. You know what makes me want you to take my organs out and sell them to people is the idea of Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau. kissing on a yacht.
Starting point is 01:45:52 I don't know if you've seen that. I did see those photos, yes. Was he in blackface? Could you tell from that distance? I could not tell. I could not tell. But he might have been doing a little show for her. I'm not really sure.
Starting point is 01:46:03 But please take my organs. Please. Take them now. Don't make me look at that anymore. We've heard your alcohol history, your health issues. I don't think people have any interest in your organs in particular. I'm not getting a high price for my organs. I'm not.
Starting point is 01:46:18 I'm just saying. It's by the pound from you, I think, is the way they would do. Yeah. That's, yeah. But on the, I love the photos they take of these situations, Glenn, like as if they were just like some reporters out in the ocean. And they just happened to be posted. They just taking pictures of boats. You know, they weren't tipped off of this. They didn't want this relationship to break.
Starting point is 01:46:39 But they just say, look, just a bunch of TMZ people out in boats somewhere, just taking pictures of people kissing on the deck. And they just happened to catch Katie Perry. realize that though to TMZ people, I thought they had Kodak cameras, the little disposable box cameras. I know. I mean, these were photographers? It's just stunning how this new, these newsbreakers are always out there. Just anything you do on a boat could be photographed at any time, boys and girls, always
Starting point is 01:47:04 remember that. And I could hurl at any time. Again, it would have been easier to talk about what we're going to harvest. Which one has the bad situation there, would you say? Oh, she does. And that's saying. This is Glenn Beck. I didn't know she was a lesbian, honestly.
Starting point is 01:47:29 If you've ever had to buy or sell a home before, you know how tempting it is to never, ever put yourself in a situation where you have to face any of that again, where the paperwork is stacked, the deadlines are tight, every phone call feels like a test. It makes sense to run the other way. But a great agent takes that weight off of your shoulders. Real estate agents I trust is a handpicked network of professionals who understand the human side of this work.
Starting point is 01:47:56 They negotiate with skill, communicate with you. They see things other agents miss. And they'll help you price smartly, stage with purpose, and close the deal without the drama that you've come to accept and expect. We started looking at this, my company. I started years ago working with the 500 best real estate agents in the country. And I got to know them. And I asked them, what makes a great real estate agent? It's really pretty simple, but it takes a lot of work on their side.
Starting point is 01:48:24 We started expanding that list, and we're now about 3,000 agents all throughout the country. So I want you to do your own homework. I just want you to meet with them. It's a free service to you. If you're buying or selling a home, whether it's across the street or across the country, please go to real estate agents. I trust.com. Real estate agents, I trust.com.
Starting point is 01:48:42 Head over to glenbeck.com and sign up for the free email newsletter. It's every story we talk about every day. there is there's some disturbing things coming out of New York on Mondani we're going to get to that probably hopefully tomorrow because it's stuff that you really need to hear
Starting point is 01:49:18 and I tomorrow I'm going to go more in depth on this one I can't make sense of this story and I go to John Solomon because I think he is the fairest of all of the journalist out there I think he's really really fair tries to do the right thing.
Starting point is 01:49:38 And this story is about the Pentagon's pledge that Pete Hegseth is trying to get the reporters to sign. And the Pentagon is saying this is not changing any. This is just codifying things here. I mean, the press can no longer roam free. Well, when did they? I mean, I've been to the White House. I've not been to the Pentagon, but I've been to the White House. Man, you don't go anywhere without a badge.
Starting point is 01:50:06 You got that V for visitors and you don't have it. They stop you. So you said the press has to have a press badge at all times. They can no longer roam free. They have to wear a visible badge. They also have to, when they're meeting with top officials, they have to be another witness with them. So it can't just meet one-on-one.
Starting point is 01:50:29 I think that's fair. Credential press no longer permitted to solicit criminal acts. I mean, I don't even understand that one. What does that be? I think that's what I think what he's going for here is we all know the system is broken. The reason why we had all of these intel, you know, on why, you know, why we should be doing different things and all of these smears against Donald Trump with the Russia and everything else, the press knows. The press knows who they're talking to. They're talking, they're getting propaganda talking points.
Starting point is 01:51:06 from members of either the Pentagon or the intelligence community. And they're trying to stop that. They're trying to say, stop it. You can't ask anybody to reveal things that they shouldn't reveal. I think that's what it is. But that doesn't stop you from having somebody come to you and revealing something. What I'd really like to see is that, you know, you go back voluntarily to two or three sources. and they got to be named.
Starting point is 01:51:39 They can't all be anonymous. Somebody's got to be named in it. Somebody has to take responsibility for this. Because all you're getting, you know, on the Hunter Biden thing, did you see the latest with John Brennan on this, on the Hunter Biden things do? He actually, there's now a memo out from him that says, look, we're trying to put this together to be able to have Biden have some pushback
Starting point is 01:51:59 at the debate on Tuesday night. So when he got all those people to say, you know, I've never seen anything like this. This is Russian propaganda. The people that signed it knew this was being used for political purposes. And now it's out there. And John Brennan said, I never did anything like that. Now we have the memo from him to all the people that signed it, saying that's what he was doing.
Starting point is 01:52:24 Has anybody to pay attention to that? No. But I think that's what the Pentagon is trying to do. But everybody seems to be pushing back on that. I shouldn't say anybody. Newsmax is pushing back. The Washington Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, the New York Times, CNN, The Guardian, breaking defense and other outlets said they wouldn't sign it. So that means Fox isn't doing it.
Starting point is 01:52:48 OAN said that they would sign the pledge. I don't know if the Blaze is going to sign the pledge. But he said, you know, credential press no longer permitted to solicit criminal acts. In other words, they're not permitted to publish information that hasn't been approved for release by the department. Department of Defense. Again, if you're... Seems reasonable. Is it?
Starting point is 01:53:10 I mean, does the department... I mean, like, we would not know a lot about our government if we were gave approval to the Department of Defense for every news story that came out. I mean, I can't do that, right? As a journalist? Let me look at, let me read that again. Read that sentence again. At least the way you read it, I hit me wrong. The press is not permitted to publish information that hasn't been approved for release.
Starting point is 01:53:32 Yeah, you're right. You're right. No, they shouldn't have. the right to do that. You're right. We have to be able to have people whistleblow. They should all be covered in whistleblower laws, you know? Yeah. I mean, it's kind of covered in the First Amendment, isn't it? I mean, that doesn't mean that the person who's releasing the information at the Department of Defense is is cleared. I mean, like, they shouldn't be doing that, but like, the press has always had a right to be able to go after that information. And I think should. I was
Starting point is 01:54:03 surprised by John Solomon's article because he quotes and says, you know, this has been done for a long time under Woodrow Wilson and under FDR. And I'm like, those aren't good examples, those are not good examples. I don't want to go back under that kind of stuff. And I understand the motivation there. Like, you want to stop obviously leaking. Like that type of stuff is is most of the time the right thing to do for the government. I would also argue, you know, there probably are a lot of good pieces of intent in here. And it's, you know, probably. being reported somewhat wrong. But what hits me is like, you point out, like, I'm not at all surprised in New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal wouldn't sign something coming from a Trump DoD. Newsmax? I mean, Newsmax is not like, you know, they have some really good people we really like, but they're generally speaking pretty big fans of Donald Trump. Like they, yeah, I find that interesting too. That they would say no to this is very, yeah, that's giving me pause on it because I haven't obviously seen the document. I've only seen reporting on and it's hard to know what exactly as being out is what it really means.
Starting point is 01:55:04 But that is... I'm going to get the documents today. I'll try to give you some information more on this on what the truth is, because it keeps referencing documents that I can't find. And so we'll get those documents and we'll let you know what, you know, at least what our stance is on this. By the way, do you see the Philadelphia Medical Examiner has re-ruled this death of this woman in 2011?
Starting point is 01:55:28 Her name was Ellen Greenberg. her death was ruled as suicide, but she died of 20 stab wounds. Now, I'm not sure. I mean, it reminds me, I don't know if you ever saw that musical Chicago, but he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife 20 times. You know, I mean, it's pretty hard to think that that is a suicide, but, you know, you know, whatever. Also, the anti-ice protest in Portland,
Starting point is 01:56:06 I mean, we do not pay our police or our National Guard enough to put up with this. The ice, anti-ice protests in Portland, now they are naked cyclists that are showing up, and they are blocking the driveway and throwing themselves against, you know, we don't pay these people enough. We just don't. And what is the deal with the naked cyclist? I don't. I'll tell you what the deal is.
Starting point is 01:56:36 I'll tell you what the deal is. We are hideous creatures. That's the deal. I unfortunately stumbled upon this video. And I don't know. I mean, I guess like if you really think about it other than yourself, which in both of our cases, hideous passes by the mirror, other than that, like the people you see in either very little clothing or no clothing are often like the most attractive members of our species.
Starting point is 01:57:02 Like that, you know, like you're in like some ad or you're in, you know, watching some movie and like there's some scene with, and there's two people and they're very attractive and all these other things. And like, you don't, like, that's not what we look like. Like we, we're disgusting. Every person going by, and by the way, the bicycle is probably the worst possible thing you could do naked. Oh my gosh. I can't. I was in, I was in London two years ago. And it was during, you know, Pride Month. And they had the naked cyclist going on. What?
Starting point is 01:57:33 Nothing. Go ahead. They had the naked cyclist going on. And I was in a store. I just had to cross the street to get to my hotel. Okay? Just right across the street. And I'm in a store with my children and my wife.
Starting point is 01:57:49 And all of a sudden, there's all these crowds and all this shouting and everything else. And I turn around and I'm like, what's going on? And the person inside went, Oh, it's the naked cyclist you may not want to give out. And I'm like, what? I go outside. Tanya and I both walk out, you know, and the kids are adults, you know, the kids are 18. And I'm like, I turn around immediately go, you guys back inside.
Starting point is 01:58:11 Tanya, you inside. No one should be able to see this. Keep your eyes on me. The minute I can cross, just run out and cross with me. It was like 30 minutes of, and they're English. Okay, so none of them are tan. None of them are in shape. None of them are good looking.
Starting point is 01:58:28 They all have horrible teeth. And it was horrible. I mean, it was, you know, it's not like breasts, you know, get better with it. Right. They're so long. And on the men, it's not so long. You know what I mean? It's just horrible.
Starting point is 01:58:46 It was there was no reason. It didn't change anybody's life. Nobody went, you know what? I should be gay. Yeah, no. Nobody. Nobody. I don't even know what their point was for this, but nobody went, you know, they make a good point. You know, Supreme Court is dealing with conversion therapy. That's the way to have conversion therapy. Have people go and look at one of those parades of naked bikers. There's no one that's going to want to be gay.
Starting point is 01:59:11 Oh, no one. And I don't understand what point are you trying to make? What point are you trying to make? It's just, look at me, I'm hideously ugly. Right. It just doesn't work. You know, again, like, just think of the position you're in on a bicycle. Like, you're hunched over. Oh, I know. You don't have to. Your knees are getting close to your chest on a regular basis.
Starting point is 01:59:37 Like, and I would say with some of the women in the situation banging up against things, I will say, the whole thing is not good, Glenn. And we are hideous creatures and we should consider just never going outside. We should consider just hiding from one another. because it's just, it's awful. Certainly don't take your clothes off in public. There were people that were so large, you could not see the seat. I, okay, you could not, you saw the bar going up and no seat.
Starting point is 02:00:09 And you're like, I don't need to see this. What do these bicycles do to you? Oh my, if they're rentals, burn them. I hope. I hope whoever's renting the bicycles around that time. They just close up shop inexplicably for a weekend. No, we're not written anything this weekend. Oh, boy, I gotta tell you, the insurance company comes in.
Starting point is 02:00:34 I could tell you they were lost in a fire, but it was the naked cyclists. And I think the insurance company go, we'll write that. We'll write that. You can't use those again. Please light them on fire. I don't care if they weren't on fire before, but now you need to light them on fire, somewhere far away from here. So bad. One more thing.
Starting point is 02:00:51 You know the Diesel Brothers, David Sparks. David Sparks was arrested. He was on a podcast. I have to get this podcast clip. Maybe we'll do it tomorrow. I'm trying to get him on the show. He was arrested because a judge found him in contempt for failing to pay almost a million dollars in fines. And this whole thing is based on them trying to, you know, them polluting the air.
Starting point is 02:01:21 and, you know, doing this diesel thing. And it's a crazy story in the first place. They arrest him, and the court orders him to pay $843 in $1,000 in, you know, I think they are environmental crimes and fines. And they put him in solitary confinement for three days. Now, how does this guy go into solitary confinement for three days? How is that reasonable at all? This story perplexes me.
Starting point is 02:02:04 And we're going to hear from him. I want to get him on the air here because he talked to this story. We'll play at least the clip of what I had him on last time and he talked about it. And he explained what happened. And it's nuts. It's absolutely nuts. And it is Utah losing their. mind. It is that that's what it is. Utah has lost their mind. So we'll get David

Starting point is 02:05:09 day for President Trump for our national interests. You're right. don't know how the story ends, but stories are made up of chapters. As Richard Haas knows, he was very much in the arena, now 35 years ago at the end of the first Gulf War when there was a great conference in Madrid as we tried to reset the peace process.
Starting point is 02:05:38 Nine years later, President Clinton in the last hours of his presidency made a noble attempt at Camp David. We can go on and on about the various chapters. But we should make no mistake about this. This is a victory for President Trump.
Starting point is 02:05:58 What you've just heard aired on MSNBC. MSNBC aired that. We have, we could have gone through a dozen different clips from mainstream media sources that gave the same type of sentiment. This is a great day
Starting point is 02:06:16 for President Trump. I'm really happy the hostages are home. I'm starting to worry though. When we start hearing praise on MSNBC for something, this, what are we not seeing here? I mean, is there some like hidden global warming tax in this hostage deal? What's happening? We'll just have to watch closely, I guess.
