Starting point is 00:00:37 I took the New York strips out last night from the freezer. They are thawing, ready for steak night tonight. And I got them from good ranchers. And they are so good. If you want really high-quality meat and lock your price in, this is the craziest thing. I don't know how they're going to survive, but if you buy your meat from good ranchers and you can pick what you want every month and it will be delivered, as long as you're part of that, you don't ever get a price increase. Prices are supposed to go up 15%. They will at your grocery store.
Starting point is 00:01:18 You're not going to get a price increase. How fantastic is that? Plus, right now, you're going to get 24 ounces of applewood smoke bacon added to each box for a year.

Starting point is 00:02:43 Welcome to it. It is Friday, America. And Stu, did I not promise that we would not talk about scary things today? You did, yeah. We were going to have all good news. Yeah, you said it was going to be fun. We're going to have a lot of really good things. So I'm just asking as my executive producer,
Starting point is 00:03:03 I should not mention that Deutsche Bank is down 10% on the stock market today. everybody's freaking out. No one believed you were going to actually follow through on this. Don't worry about it. No, I was asking you. No, don't worry about it. No one had any faith in you at all that they would turn the radio on today. That's the only bad thing I have today. That's the only bad thing I have. And I was asking you, and that was a sincere question, Stu. I don't know how you interpreted that. We have some amazing, amazing stories for you today. First of all, Ray Epps is demanding a apology. Well, we did, oh, about 40 seconds of homework on this. You are not going to believe this story. It is just, it's USDA Prime. It's prime eating beef right there. We start there
Starting point is 00:03:59 in 60 seconds. Let me tell you about a guy, a guy named Ace. His experience with Relief Factor he wrote in about not long ago. He is 80 years old. And during his lifetime, he has broken his back not once, but twice. I mean, that fits a guy named Ace, doesn't it? I mean, you name a baby Ace and you're like, yeah, they're going to just trash their body and they're probably broken back from doing something crazy. He broke his back two times over the years he had had surgery after surgery to fix his back as well as possible, and that left him in a lot of pain.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Thankfully, his wife kept bugging him to try relief factor, I know how it feels, Ace, marrying up somebody smarter than you is exactly what happened with my wife. And Ace, I am just gathering, I'm just, I'm guessing here that maybe you did it just to have her stop saying, Why did you try to leave out of it? And now it works for him. His pain is down to manageable. Ace says he doesn't feel 20, but he doesn't feel 80 anymore. He got his life back.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Three-week quick start. Try it now. Relieffactor.com. Take his directed relieffactor.com all natural. $800. 4 relief. 800. The number four relief.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Relieffactor. com. All right. So, okay. So you know Ray Epps. Okay. Who is Ray Epps? Who's Ray Epps?
Starting point is 00:05:36 He was a guy at the January 6th stuff where he was. encouraging people to go inside the Capitol. He, I don't know that he ever actually went inside the Capitol, but he was on the grounds. No, he was at the gates. Yeah, at the gates. He was encouraging people to push through the gates. Yep. And he later became the focus of a lot of people saying, hey, this guy is on camera, yet he's
Starting point is 00:06:02 not on any of the most wanted list. He hasn't been indicted. What's going on with this guy and became a potential? The belief was that he was maybe an informant or. something else was going on with him. Have you spoken to your attorney this morning? Because that is the fairest Ray Epps description
Starting point is 00:06:19 I've ever heard. There you go. Okay. So you're going to not have to worry about a lawsuit coming from Ray Epps. Good. You can note that attorneys, please. Yes. Because Ray Epps is now demanding that Tucker Carlson and Fox News
Starting point is 00:06:35 publicly retract their false and defamatory statements that Mr. Epps had worked as a government provocateur on January 6 and helped instigate the mob's attack. In a letter from the lawyer, Michael Teeter, he demanded a formal on-air apology for the lies that have been spread about Mr. Epp. The fanciful notions that Mr. Carlson advances on his show regarding Mr. Epp's involvement in January 6th insurrection are demonstrably false. and yet Mr. Carlson persists in his assault on the truth. Wow. Well, this is shocking and horrifying.
Starting point is 00:07:23 And here is this guy who was a, I mean, he's clearly a right-wing MAGA supporter, right? He was in the MAGA hat. He was like, this election is bogus on video. This election is boas. We got to go in there and take to kill. capital. So this guy is no friend of the left. I'll tell you that right now. No friend of even the right because you got to distance yourself. They people started mega people started chanting fed, fed, fed, fed around him. They they felt that he was an FBI plant because he was
Starting point is 00:08:04 so vitriolic in his support of going in and taking the capital tomorrow. Well, he hired an attorney. Now, what's weird is this attorney just left Perkins Coy, the law firm. Now, Perkins Coy, Perkins Coy, Perkins Coy. Why do I know Perkins Coy? Oh, that's Hillary Clinton's firm, the one that just got busted for putting together the steel dossier. Oh, they were the ones that Hillary Clinton paid, and then she got a misdemeanor because she
Starting point is 00:08:54 marked it down as a legal expense, and it wasn't a legal expense, you know, kind of like Donald Trump. And so she had to pay a fine. Wow. That Perkins quote. So his attorney is with, or, you know, you. used to be with Perkins Coy. Well, I mean, just because you're in part of that, you know, Clinton law firm doesn't
Starting point is 00:09:19 mean that, you know, you're like that. Except he now works for David Brock. David Brock. David Brock. Why do I know David Brock? Oh, that's right. David Brock used to be the head of media matters. He was close with all the Clinton people.
Starting point is 00:09:45 So that's weird. The attorney is from the Clinton firm. And he left there to get away to go work with David Brock. So now he's working with David Brock. And somehow or another, this guy, I just, I want to hum the national anthem, the start. every, I mean, Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, even Broadway musicals that make me feel American,
Starting point is 00:10:20 I just want to hum it all day because this lawyer, even though he worked at Perkins Coy, even though he took a job with the very leftist smear-mongering David Brock, he takes on Rehaps, who with his MAGA hat is, screaming in front of a crowd, let's go take the capital. Wow. Now, you can't work for Perkins Coy and David Brock take a job with David Brock at this time in history. If you were, you know, really a maga person, it would drive you out of your mind. So clearly, he's a lefty, but he believes in the right of protest and the right of freedom of speech.
Starting point is 00:11:11 and the right to do that without being smeared. So he goes from the law department that was chief in smearing the president of the United States, right to David Brock, who ran the biggest smear operation, media matters, ever. And now he's representing this beautiful MAGA guy because he believes. no man should be smeared. And I'm, you know, I'm glad that he's out there because, boy, what would we do without an attorney like that. And let me go on a bit further. What would we do without the New York Times? Listen to this, Stu. As a potential indictment looms over President Donald J. Trump, he and his allies have sought to tie the Manhattan District Attorney,
Starting point is 00:12:14 bringing the case to a familiar Republican specter, George Soros. No, geez, they didn't. Soros, who has backed Democratic candidates and causes, as well as democracy and human rights all around the world. Loves democracy, loves human rights. He does. He's been the boogeyman on the right for many years. You mean like a mythical creature in the night? in the night.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Yes. Doing all these negative things. But in reality, he doesn't even exist. Well, here's the deal. I mean, he has had to confront attacks that portray him as a globalist mastermind. Oh, no. And they often veer into anti-Semitism.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Yes, there you go. Right. The connections between him and Alvin Bragg, this is the New York Times. Between him and Albin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney, are real, but overstated. Wait, so they are real. They are real, but they're overstated. Oh, they're overstated. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:18 In reality. In reality, Mr. Soros donated to a liberal group that endorses progressive prosecutors and supports efforts to overhaul the criminal justice system. Okay. So basically, if I could just translate the Republican lies here for a moment. Basically what's happened is George Soros wrote a $5,000 check to a charity. Well. And that charity gave a ton of money to this candidate. And George Soros was a small part of it.
Starting point is 00:13:49 But because George Soros is Jewish, people are just signaling him out, basically. That's the way this works. Sure, sure. Is it? Here's the deal. He did donate to that liberal group that endorses progressive prosecutors and supports efforts to overhaul the justice system. But this is in line with causes that he's publicly supported for years. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:11 See? That's what I mean. So he wasn't going after this guy in particular. So let me guess. He gave a donation years ago. Uh-huh. And that money just sat in the bank account for a while and eventually was given out by this organization to this one guy that they're highlighting because they want to make the big Donald Trump conspiracy.
Starting point is 00:14:27 It's so typical of these conservatives. Okay. So here's the thing. Here's the thing. While the link between Mr. Bragg and Mr. Soros does exist arguments that the district attorney was bought is misleading. Yeah, okay. Mr. Bragg announced his candidacy for the position in June 2019. Nearly
Starting point is 00:14:47 two years later, on May 8, 2021, the political arm of color of change a progressive criminal justice group endorsed him. Okay. It pledged he would send a million dollars on direct mailers on the ground campaigning and voter turnout efforts
Starting point is 00:15:05 on his behalf. Okay, so a small portion of that money was the money that George Soros had already... No, will you listen? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm You're jumping to conclusion. It didn't donate to Mr. Bragg's campaign directly, okay? Oh. It didn't, there was no money. He was, they were just doing that.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Okay. Okay. A few days later. A few days later, May 14th, Mr. Soros contributed a million dollars to the group. Come on. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Which intended to help Mr. Bragg with the money. Wait, hold on. Sorry. But he didn't do it. I mean, Let me make sure I understand here. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:44 So, color of change announces publicly. They want to give $1 million exactly to this candidate. Yeah. Three days later, George Soros gives one million dollars to this organization and says he wants it to go to the candidate. Well, no. He just said, here's a million dollars. I don't care how you use it. Did he though?
Starting point is 00:16:04 Do you have anything? Well, I mean, you're making it up that he said that. I thought that what you just said in. Times just said Mr. Soros contributed $1 million to the group which intended to help Mr. Bragg with the money. So the group intended
Starting point is 00:16:20 to do it. Yes. And he just happened to donate the exact amount of money three days after they quote unquote publicly announce it. He just happened to be there. He didn't know that color of change didn't meet its pledge. It eventually spent
Starting point is 00:16:36 nearly $500,000 in support and that was an 11% of the group's $4.6 million in spending. And how much was Soros of the spending of $1 million out of 4.6? Gee, he's not important to this organization at all. A spokesperson for the political arm of color change said the group reviewed and interviewed reform-minded district attorneys each election cycle and the process was independent of all the funders.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Mr. Soros was just one of many large donors to the group. Past donors include, write this down. the members of the wealthy Pritzker family, the Facebook co-founder, Dustin Moscovitz, and the hip-hop group, The Beastie Boys. Mr. Bragg was, no, I'm glad that they're influencing our campaign. Mr. Bragg was not the only candidate for color of change that they endorsed and aided through organizing efforts. The group also helped with George Soros money to reelect Larry Krasner, the district attorney of Philadelphia. Okay? And all they did was contact more than 300,000 voters and sent nearly 200,000 pieces of direct mail on his behalf. In addition, it also operated phone banks, ran advertisements, and mobilized voters to support the local candidate in Virginia with a ballot initiative in Minneapolis.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Nor was Mr. Soros one million dollar contribution particularly unusual. Soros has given to the group. multiple times before it endorsed Mr. Bragg. He personally donated $450,000 between 2016 and 2018. Wait, but what the hell does this matter? And his PAC gave $2.5 million in 2020. We agree that George Soros funds crazy, terrible district attorney candidates. There is no connection between George Soros and Alvin Bragg.
Starting point is 00:18:33 There's been no, I'm quoting, no contact between the two. Yes. George Soros and Alvin Bragg have never met in person or spoken by telephone. What does that matter? Email, Zoom. There has been no contact between the two. Mr. Soros has been open about his years-long support of progressive prosecutors. In fact, in a 22 op-ed article in the Wall Street Journal,
Starting point is 00:18:57 Mr. Soros explained his thoughts on overhauling the criminal justice system and wrote, quote, we have, no, the idea we need to choose between justice. justice and safety is false. I have supported in the election and more recently the re-election of prosecutors who support reform. I've done it transparently and I have no intention of stopping. He says, look, we have justice. And that's what I'm pushing for.
Starting point is 00:19:28 And you say that it won't be as safe. That's false. We have to spend more time on this. Back in just a minute. Mantis X. I'm not sure where ammunition comes from anymore. I suspect that it's made in a giant factory where a bunch of oompa-loompas dance around, singing songs about, you know, effing around and then finding out that it's bad.
Starting point is 00:19:51 But I can't really be sure. What I do know is that it costs a fortune, a fortune. Just going to target practice right now can set you back quite a bit, and you still need to maintain your marksmanship. there is a better way. This is why I highly recommend the Mantis X. It is high-tech, easy-to-use system. We should put this on my screen in front of us so we can,
Starting point is 00:20:17 I can show it's so incredible. All you do is you take your gun, you attach the Mantis X to the barrel, and you can aim at anything. You don't need a target, and you aim at anything. And what it's doing is it's analyzing where you're trying to focus on and what happens as you pull the trigger.

Starting point is 00:20:55 10 seconds, station ID. So what do they think the accusation here is that they were buddies? Like, I never thought that George Soros and, Alvin Bragg were hanging out and going to coffee in the morning. The accusation was George Soros has an insane political philosophy that gets people killed, and he's been paying for these candidates campaigns. There you go. There you go.
Starting point is 00:21:27 There's your connection. Trying to tie George Soros to Alvin Bragg saying that he's in his pocket because he's paying for the campaigns. I think there is a – this happens all the time where, like, George Soros gives $100,000 to an organization that winds up. supporting something, you know, multiple years later, and it's still an interesting tie. That's interesting. This is way, way more clear than that.
Starting point is 00:21:52 They announced a million dollars for this guy, and three days later, he gave a million dollars to the organization to give to this guy. You are a guy. You're a guy. I guarantee, just by the way you're saying, you're against the New York Times when they come after the Koch brothers, you know, when they come out and say, hey, there's no connection, no connection to their money and the politicians and the policies that they're supporting. There's no connection there.
Starting point is 00:22:20 They have issues that they, well, the one that's alive, has issues that they believe in. Right. And they donate to organizations that support those beliefs. Which is what happened here? That's evil. Because that's the New York Times. I mean, the New York Times has got to be saying that's evil with the code problems. There is no problem whatsoever with George Soros giving his money to an organization he believes in.
Starting point is 00:22:39 The problem is the things he believes in are killing our society. society. That's the problem. He can give his money, but we can also note that he is the cause of all of this crap that's happening to us. He's just looking for justice. Is he? He's just looking for justice and safety. And of course, there's a connect. What do you mean? There's no connection. You just outlined an incredibly close connection. I don't. I apologize. If anybody in David Brock's organization, who is a former attorney for Perkins Coy happens to be listening, it's all on him. I'm I'm with you. I'm for justice. Are you? Yeah.

Asteroid, the size of 22 tuna, fly closer to Earth than the moon. Now, I don't know what the hell's happening, but I've never measured things by the size of tuna. I don't know. tuna could be the size of a car, size of a suitcase.
Starting point is 00:27:57 I don't know the size of tuna. I have no idea. I've never had to go out and hunt my own tuna, you know, and gut and clean it and then go, who wants tuna fish sandwiches? I mean, we just have to hope that it's not a Costco, you know, economy-sized can of tuna. Right. That could blow up the entire world. I mean, we, I mean, I was just starting to get down with the,
Starting point is 00:28:23 measuring of asteroids by the size of camels. Remember that came out? That was weird, too. What the hell is going on? I'm telling you, aliens have taken over. And they're like, yeah, it's about size of 22 tuna. That's what they say, right? That's what the humans, they measure by tuna?
Starting point is 00:28:40 No, I thought it was camels. What the hell? It's tuna or camels. We know that. Those are the two competing systems. It's like English and metric. You got tuna and camels. That's the only way people understand things.
Starting point is 00:28:50 I mean, if you said three Mustangs, I would go, okay, we're not talking about horses. I don't think. We're talking about cars, right? Couldn't you just say three cars? Yes, you could. Yes, you could. Three cars would make sense.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Yes, you could. How many tuna is this thing? 22. 22. There's got to be something. That's 22 times the size of a tuna. It's like, that would be better to summarize this. It's like Noah's Ark.
Starting point is 00:29:16 You know, cubits. How big is a cubit? I don't know. Compare it to a tuna. How many tunas does a ship need to be? Anyway. Did you see the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro? Dead.
Starting point is 00:29:28 As of January 2024. Going to be electric. So the last ones are coming off the line this year. It'll be the 2024, but the last one off the line is January 2024, which I hate. And have you seen the SRT Demon? Yes. The Challenger? Yeah, the Dodge Challenger Demon, S-R-T.
Starting point is 00:29:53 there's like five names there but man that thing's impressive let me just let me just say if you happen to be in the car business and you have a you know a lot coming in a dodge challenger sr t demon i know a customer his name kind of sounds like len eck uh which is weird um and for anybody who might maybe my wife listening, I am not saying for me, I'm, so you know someone. I know somebody who would like one of these and can't find one of these. And I'm just saying, you should call 888-727 B-C-K. So I could pass your information as a dealer onto this friend. That friend, yeah. I think they don't go on sale until Monday. I think it's the 27th. I mean, I've called around and everybody's like, I mean, my friend is called around.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Oh, you called around for your friend. Yeah. Yeah. And he said he was calling around. Like, what, me get on the phone. Maybe that'll, you know, sway some. No, no. Because they're only making 3,000 of these things.
Starting point is 00:31:03 3,000. 1,025 horsepower, I believe. Yeah. 0 to 60, not zero, actually. Rolling start to 60 in 1.6 seconds. Okay. Holy cow. It comes with a parachute.
Starting point is 00:31:22 I mean, how can we abandon this technology when we're just getting good at it? Pisses me off. We're just nailing the combustion engine and having it do incredible things. We're like, oh, let's just bail completely. I know. It just, it drives me out of my mind. It really drives me out of my mind. Everybody, did you see that Ford just lost $2 billion in 2022 because of EVs?
Starting point is 00:31:48 They're electric vehicles. That division lost $2 billion. But I mean, that's, you know. By the way, there was a big story that I think it might have been in the Times as well talking about the effects on local economies because of the electric cars. These areas that have been built on parts manufacturing and all of this are just being destroyed. And look, as a guy who likes innovation, that is part of capitalism. It does happen when you have new technology. But what usually is the reason for it is you have new superior technology.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Technology that people are choosing and want and desire and therefore the older industry goes away. That's not what's happening here. No. It's not like people are choosing. Like, I got to have an electric car. Some people are. And they're great. Some of them are incredible cars.
Starting point is 00:32:39 But like I really like the Tesla. I don't own a Tesla because it's impossible to recharge if you're going. on a long trip and I like to drive cross country. So I'm not buying a Tesla. You know, you get something where it is, you know, I'm able to go someplace and I can, you know, stop at a electric fueling station and it takes me, you know, 10 minutes to recharge it. I'm good. But no, I don't think the technology is, I also don't like the fact that, you know,
Starting point is 00:33:11 you can burn up in your car. But those two things, you know, I'm good with it. This is insane. We do not have the transmission lines to be able to deliver this kind of electricity. California leads the country in number of electric vehicles. You already have brownouts and blackouts. What are you crazy? Where are you going to get the electricity?
Starting point is 00:33:46 Where is that coming? I mean, you're, you already don't have enough. It's just, I mean, it makes absolutely no sense. You seem frustrated. Almost as frustrated as I am trying to figure out what the average length of a tuna is. Which is, I've been trying to do this entire time. And they range from, let's see, 4.6 feet to 9.8 feet. For an adult male, these are larger tuna, obviously.
Starting point is 00:34:23 So we don't know if it's male or female. We don't know. But like, is it an albacore at 4.6 feet? Is it a Pacific bluefin tuna at 9.8 feet? That's incredibly important here, right? You're talking about doubling the size of this asteroid. We have no idea if this asteroid is blue, Pacific blue. Albuquer tuna or Pacific Bluefin tuna.
Starting point is 00:34:47 We have no idea. What could possibly hit the earth today. No idea the size of it. It's 22 times that. So that's a lot. That's a lot. I mean, is it 22 times four or 22 times three? I just hope it lands 10.
Starting point is 00:35:02 If it hits Earth, I hope it lands on my house. I mean, and me in it. Not my family. Just me. Just take me out. Your family agrees. Yeah. I know they do.
Starting point is 00:35:14 But Dodge dealers, they do not agree. They don't make decisions for Lenack. No, they don't. He is a totally different person. He wants one of these SRT demons like crazy. So you should call and I'll pass your number on to Lenach. And. Good dude.

Would this be something, now this is something, a totally different conversation. I hate to bring it up. here, but like, would this be something your wife would oppose if you wanted one?
Starting point is 00:35:52 Now, I know you don't, but I'm saying if... If I wanted one? No, she would be... Are you kidding me? She'd kill me. That's why I don't want one. No, I know. I know you don't want one.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Yeah. But I would like a Dodge dealer that has access to one. Just a call because my friend might buy one. Probably pretty done deal on that one. But you'd have to... to talk to his wife. But his wife is so cool. Anyway, 8887-2-7-B-E-C-K. I want to paint a picture of peace of mind for you.

Starting point is 00:38:16 Not you. Right. You can't design it from scratch, but your friend Len, Len Eck could describe it. Vaughn in Oklahoma is on. You are, you're with a Dodge dealership. Yeah, that's right. I was calling to maybe get. touch with his friend of yours.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Yeah. Now, uh, you'll have to be careful because his wife doesn't know about this. We'll keep it between. Yeah, keep it between. And any friend of, uh, Len X's wife, you'll be dead to me if you tell his wife, you tell his wife about this.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Why would he, why would, why would you care about him? I'm just a good friend with him. Just a good friend. Oh, okay. Just might, you know, he'll break it to his wife slowly. Um, anyway, uh, he'll talk about how. how much money they're saving by buying this. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:39:04 You see what you? Right. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you have some allocated? We do. We have two allocated to our store. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:15 And I think one of them might have had a customer's name on it that rhymed with Lenick. I don't know. Shut up. Well, I've heard this guy, this friend of yours occasionally misspells his name and it looks like your name. Yeah. Yeah. That bastard only does it on contracts.
Starting point is 00:39:33 You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, Vaughn, we're going to get your phone number and then my friend may call you later about this. Now, he sounds like me, but don't be fooled. Okay. Don't let him pull a brink on you like that.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Absolutely. No, we'll make sure that you properly identify this individual. So for people that are looking to buy one of these are, Do you get to design them or are they just coming? No, they're just coming. They're just coming. They're what's called the last call. It's the last time they're going to make this engine.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Right. But I mean, there's no features that you can upgrade, right? Can you do that? No, not at the moment. Wow. Okay. All right. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Because they're set for a set amount. And I believe, if I'm not mistaken, only 1,500 are coming to the the U.S. 3,000, I think. I think it was 3,000 total. 3,000 total in the U.S., 300 in Canada, I think. 300 in Canada, right. So they're coming as Dodge builds them.
Starting point is 00:40:42 They're not customized. Okay. All right. Okay, well, he'll call you or somebody from his office because sometimes they get very busy in his office. He's, I don't know what he does, but he's. Well, you know, and if he happens to be, you know, a short drive from Oklahoma City, I don't know that.
Starting point is 00:41:00 It's weird. I think he lives by Oklahoma City. Yeah, or near Oklahoma. Right? He lives right near Oklahoma. City. Yeah. It was in Oklahoma.
Starting point is 00:41:11 It was. All right, Vaughn. We should get, we should get Vaughn's information. Yeah. We should at least say what the dealership is. Yeah, what is your dealership? What dealership?
Starting point is 00:41:20 Bob Howard Dodge. Bob Howard Dodge in Oklahoma City has one. Challenger. Wow, has one been sold? Yeah. Apparently, I don't know. Yeah, the guy he said. It was already had a name on it. So thank you so much, Vaughn.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Hang on. I want to make sure we have your information and we will, I'll have my friend reach out to you. You said yourself. Does anybody have any advice on how to remain married when you have to tell your wife, you want a challenger.

We're just going to be, we're going to look for the good things. And, you know, with me, left to my own devices, I would be looking at, let's say, a German bank that might be in trouble today. It's always
Starting point is 00:45:29 in trouble, so there's nothing new. But I'm not looking at that. I'm not looking at you might, but I'm not looking at that. I wanted to get the guy on who's fixed really bad problems before to give us his look at where we are in the economy and how we fix it if we would gain control of the levers in two years.
Starting point is 00:45:55 His name is the legendary Art Laffer. He is joining us in 60 seconds. Sometimes the awful effects of a terrible event, manifest themselves long after the event is over. And on 9-11, there were almost 3,000 people killed, and over two decades later, people are still losing their lives from 9-11-related illnesses. There is a whole new generation of young people growing up right now who don't know anything about what happened that day.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Only two states mandate learning about it in school. How much you want to make a bet? New York's not one of them. This is why the Tunnel to Tower's 9-11 Institute is giving educators access to non-fiction 9-11 resources for K-12 learning. This includes full curriculum units built around first-person accounts, scripted social studies lessons, activities and background for teachers, as well as the non-fiction discovering hero series of books and the curriculum units. There's a speakers bureau. First responders, survivors, they have a mobile exhibit that is about an 1,100 square foot museum that goes around the country.

Starting point is 00:47:42 their favorite movie is ferris bueller and in ferris bueller there is this scene in 1930 the republican-controlled house of representatives in an effort to alleviate the effects of the anyone anyone the great depression the, anyone, anyone? A tariff bill? The Hawley-Smout Tariff Act, which, anyone raised or lowered, raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression. Today, we have a similar debate over this. Anyone know what this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer curve. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point, on the revenue curve, you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is very controversial. Does anyone know what Vice President Bush called this in 1980? Anyone? Something D.O.O. Economics.
Starting point is 00:49:01 economics. Voodoo, economic. Okay. Art Laffer, who the Laffer Curve is named after. Welcome to the program.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Hi, Art. Thank you. It's so good talking to you, Glenn. You're a hero of mine. Thank you. You are mine as well. So, Art,
Starting point is 00:49:18 you are always the most optimistic guy because you have gone in to into countries that have collapsed and turned it around. So I know we can do it. I'd like to ask a couple of things. What you're feeling is with all of the pressures that are, I mean, we're shutting off energy.
Starting point is 00:49:40 We are on the verge of a war. I hope to God not. We have a possible banking collapse in our horizon. I hope to God not. And inflation. So what is your outlook? And then what do we, what are the, the most important things that we should do to encourage Congress and look for in the next president?
Starting point is 00:50:07 Well, let me just say the things you listed there, we are in those troubles. We do have a banking crisis. We do have inflation. We do have a very muddled policy of the government. And there is a land war in Europe that is going on. It's quite serious and is threatening. All those true. Now, that doesn't mean it has to be true going forward. I mean, just when we came in the office in January 20th, 1981, Glenn. We had Jimmy Carter. We had four presidents, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter, what I call the four stooges, the largest assemblage of bipartisan ignorance ever on planet Earth.
Starting point is 00:50:41 The economy had tumbled the stock market, had fallen from 1966 to 1982. The stock market fell by like 65% in real terms. So we were at the tail end of a really bad hurricane, but we could turn it around. and I think right now is the same way. I mean, I'm feeling very depressed about the policies that are going on, as you mentioned, and everyone knows all of them every day all the time. Biden wants more taxes. His budget's $6.9 trillion.
Starting point is 00:51:10 You have people flipping you off all around the world. It is a bad picture, but right now I feel that this is the time for a cataclysmic change in U.S. policies and gives us the opportunity to really change the face of the earth all for the better. and I think the election of 2024 portends to be a really good election for truth, beauty in the American way.
Starting point is 00:51:32 That's me talking. Now the Republicans are right now as much a problem as are the Democrats. Don't think of this in Republican Democrat terms. Think of this in pro-growth, pro-freedom, tax cut,
Starting point is 00:51:43 controlled spending, sound money. Think of it in those terms, not in terms of parties. And I think we can do it, Ben. I mean, Glenn... So, so... That's my friend is trying to buy a car.
Starting point is 00:51:55 and his wife doesn't know about it. No, I was thinking of Ben Stein. Okay. That's all right. So, that's all right. So, by the way, have you talked to Ben recently? He's such a great guy. I talked to him about six months ago.
Starting point is 00:52:08 I spent a lot of time with him. And he wasn't doing well at the time. Oh, no. Oh, if you talk to him, say hi to him for me, will you? I sure will. He's a great guy. Great guy. Such a great guy.
Starting point is 00:52:18 All right. So, Art, can we just take this apart here for just a second? Have you seen, and I'm not talking about what we can do, because I do believe if we unleash the ingenuity of the American people, really free them, and then, you know, stop all this insanity, we can rescue our country. I agree with that. But have you ever seen us in this kind of situation historically where we seem to have all of the Dex Stats? against the Republic. Yeah. I think, you know, when I mentioned 1980, before 80, I think it was all stacked against us.
Starting point is 00:53:01 It was really depressing, Glenn. I know you were really young then maybe not even born yet. No, I was. But the world was really grisly. It was dark. It was grim. But we didn't have the debt that we have now. We don't, we didn't have the differences.
Starting point is 00:53:19 They're true. But we also didn't have the tax rates then that we have now. Our tax rate now, highest income tax rates, 37%. Back then it was 70%, Glenn. You know, we had in 1976, now that's just a little bit before, every single state in the United States except Nevada had a death tax. Every single one. Today, 33 states have gotten rid of their death taxes.
Starting point is 00:53:43 So there are lots of things. I mean, pollution, I come from Cleveland, Ohio. Lake Erie, back then when I was a kid, you, to prove that you were the Christ, you wouldn't have to walk on the water. hell anyone could do that. You know, we had smog in L.A. We had like 25, that three-stage smog alerts. And then, you know, we were facing a horrible enemy at that time in 1980.
Starting point is 00:54:06 You know, Russia wasn't a joke back then like it is now. I mean, so, you know, I think these times we all tend to think of our own time as being the worst ever. But it's just as bad back then. And partisanship was horrible post-Nixon. I don't know if you remember. Democrats hated Republicans like mad. They wanted to kill every Republican. It was just like it is now.
Starting point is 00:54:28 I mean, there wasn't a civil libertarian. There wasn't a libertarian, a probe private person in the place that wasn't pilloried by the lefties. And that's the same thing now. Crime was horrendously high back then. Well, I'm not, don't mean to be lecturing at you, but these are very bad times today. But bad times lead to great changes in public policy. And if you look at the long picture we're winning, we're not losing. The conservatives in this world are winning big time.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Do you see, and you don't have to name, but do you see one or more politicians that could actually be a Reagan and pull this off? I see the potential here in these people. There are some really qualified people. They have flaws and stuff like that, but they move. I want to see people who can read and can learn from their own mistakes and other people's mistakes to do a better job. Not a Dr. Trian Locked in the Mud, you know, type of people. Reagan learned a lot when he was governing. He was the biggest tax increase wherever.
Starting point is 00:55:33 He passed all the anti-abortion statutes in the state of California. He chaired the Equal Rights Amendment. He was a union leader called Nationwide Strikes. And Reagan became the best president of because he learned. But I see people like DeSantis. I see people like Cruz. I see people, even Trump. I see people all over the place that have the potential of being a great president.
Starting point is 00:55:53 And as a Democrat, let me just put you it. There's a guy who's governor of Colorado named Jared Polis, who is doing an amazing job. He did not do a lockdown in Colorado. He did not. He was right along with the Republican governors. He wants to get rid of the income tax there. He's cut property taxes. You know, he shipped groups of illegal immigrants to Chicago and New York.
Starting point is 00:56:16 I mean, there are people all of. round who have the potential of being great. So, Art, when you look at what's happening with the Federal Reserve, I mean, you, when you were with Reagan, interest rates were 18 or 19 percent, if I remember right? Yeah, 21 and a half percent when we took office on January 20th. There you go. 21. 21 would.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Missed a half. I know. 21 and a half. You are, that would kill everything in America today. how how when you look at the Fed and they were saying oh this is transitory and now it's not and you've got the banking crisis that's that's just underlying everything right now and they still raise the rates that should tell you they're freaking out now about inflation is that true or not well i think there's a difference today than there was then and let me do the one today the Fed has made huge mistakes
Starting point is 00:57:13 of keeping interest rates at zero percent for a long long long long long long time And banks have developed their portfolio strategies, all their actions based upon zero interest rates. So now once they've made the mistake of thinking the world is zero interest, and they've got those portfolios, there's no way we can adjust back to market rates without having grave ramifications in the banking system and other financial institutions as well. So how do we correct that? If we get out of the business of controlling interest rates, the better off will be. So that's...
Starting point is 00:57:44 Free markets should do that, not some Jay Powell, who is there. credentials are nothing like Volkers or Greenspan or McChesney-Martins. I mean, these people are not the competent gravitas people of the past. You now have the Central Bank of Switzerland guaranteeing Credit Suisse. Germany, Central Bank, said, you know, if there's problems with Deutsche Bank. And so everybody is doing this. How do you reverse that? Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:58:15 It's tough once you're in the suit. It's like, and this is an example, if I remember correctly, you told me once that you were an alcoholic and you got rid of it. And, you know, it's going cold turkey. You know, you got to stop drinking. What is it? And when you have a state running monetary system, which it should not be there, when you have a state running every tax, every government spending, just stop already. You know, two people standing there, Glenn. One's been a lifelong smoker and the other one's never had a cigarette.
Starting point is 00:58:43 And you ask them both to not smoke for the next three months. months. For the guy who's never had a cigarette, that's fine, let's go, I'm fine with that. The guy who's a three-pack a day smoker, oh, my God, it's the end of the... We have allowed ourselves to be addicted to socialist economic policies over the last 20-plus years, and it's wreaking havoc on the U.S. How do we get back to free markets? And I know of only one way of getting back to free markets is doing it right now. The Fed's balance sheet is almost $9 trillion. I know. I mean, we have a budget. proposed of $6.9 trillion.
Starting point is 00:59:19 We have a national debt of 125% of GDP. All of these things, Glenn, need to be stopped. Now, how do you stop it? You know, you stop it by going cold turkey. Now, when we got in, we went a little cold turkey with you. If you remember, 19801, 82, 83, it wasn't the prettiest period. No, it wasn't. But tell me how you like the story and the ending of that story.
Starting point is 00:59:39 I did. Wasn't it beautiful? Yeah. Okay, so, Art, hang on. Can you hang on just for one minute? Sure. I want to come back. One minute with Art Laffer.
Starting point is 00:59:46 He's an economist who actually has experience of fixing these things, and he's always optimistic, even when he tells you bad news. All right.

Starting point is 01:01:07 Tuttle Twinsbeck.com. 10 seconds. Station ID. Art Laffer is with us. What does it, what does a banking collapse that includes, you know, all of Europe's banks as well? What does that look like when it happens? I don't think America has ever seen that, maybe in the 1930s, but not a global collapse like this. We saw it back in the 19th century. We saw a number of, and we did see in the 30s as well.
Starting point is 01:01:52 I mean, you know, the government of the U.S. confiscated all private holdings of gold in March of 1933 at $20.67 an ounce. Six months later, they raised the price of gold from $20.67 to $35. It was the biggest wealth tax ever. We devalued the dollar against the British pound, the German mark, the French franc. We have seen really horrible things in our past. And the nice thing about crises is that they're over quickly. We had a crisis in 2007, 2008, when Obama came into office and the Democratic Congress there and the tax increases and all that.
Starting point is 01:02:30 But we tried to save losers. And when you try to save losers, you guarantee there are no winners. And at the beginning of the world of 2008 is when the U.S. started in its long secular decline. And it really did. It was W and Obama combined. They're both ridiculous. I mean, the bobsy twins, I call them. The ridiculous policies that started the long decline of America, which we are experiencing right now.
Starting point is 01:02:57 But prior to that, I mean, when we came into office, Glenn, when we came into office on January 20th, 1981, we'd had a long decline in America. Oh, yeah. I mean, there was just a short brief respite of sunshine with John F. Kennedy for what, was it three years in office when we had the tax cuts and growth. But before that, it was all horrible, Glenn. I mean, since 1929 had been horrible. So we can reverse this, and we just need someone to come in with the fortitude and vision of low-rate, broad-based flat taxes. So I know that, I know after Woodrow Wilson, Silent Cowell came in, and he cut the size of the government, and he cut the size of taxes. He cut both of them in half, and then I think half again a year so later.
Starting point is 01:03:42 He did. He did. It was called the Roaring 20s. Hello? We ran budget deficits, some budget surpluses for 11 years straight. Right. 11 years straight. That's crazy. Godly. It was just amazing.
Starting point is 01:03:55 So how do you sell that? I mean, it was easier to sell that around the turn of the century when people understood the federal government was not something that should be growing out of control. These progressive ideas were all new ideas. The selling of it is a funny animal. Let me give you an example of sort of my philosophy on selling things is, you know, every election is a referendum on the incumbent. If the incumbent's great, why change the renter keep competing going?
Starting point is 01:04:28 And what happened in 1980 as Jimmy Carter had failed miserably, we had Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter, those four studios I mentioned to you, and Ronald Reagan was selected at that time as being better than the incumbent and came in and then did change the policies. The election of 1984, where we won 49 out of 50 states, that was. was an election pro-Ragan. Then the election of 88 was pro-Ragan. You know, I think you've got a very weak president right now. I think people don't like him. I don't think they relish his competence. I don't think of him as a good leader. They don't think him as a good leader of the country. So we have a real opportunity to take advantage of a rejection of an incumbent president,
Starting point is 01:05:12 rejection of an incumbent Congress, House, and Senate. And I think we have a real chance of flipping the system. Now all we need to do is get someone in there who understands pro-growth, free market economic. Laffer Associates, but we will. Laffer Associates, founder and chairman, Art Laffer, thank you, sir, for your friendship, but more importantly, thank you for your optimism and your hard work that truly has saved the West for a long time.

Starting point is 01:05:45 inflammation. Even the word sounds unpleasant, doesn't it? There are a lot of people in the world who suffer from frequent pain, and inflammation is usually the thing causing it. Inside your body, joints can begin to swell. And the next thing you know, you have pain radiating outward from their sources in the body, and, you know, you'll take aspirin for it or whatever. You'll take ibuprofen, but it won't touch it. I will tell you that I never, I never take ibuprofen. because it never has worked for me. You know, so when I found out relief factor, you know, it reduces inflammation. I'm like, oh, good. So it's ibuprofen. No, it's not. It's not. It attacks inflammation from four different ways.
Starting point is 01:06:31 It's four different ingredients in this. So it attacks it in ways that ibuprofen can't attack it. Three-week quick start. Get your life back. Get out of pain. It's 1995. Just try it for three weeks. Take it as directed, see if it doesn't.

Starting point is 01:07:07 Welcome to the Lembeck program. We were just talking about Art Laffer. I've known Art for years, and he's just a dynamic guy. Stu said to me, now how old he is? No. Think about it. Just think about it before I give the answer. Judge him from that interview.
Starting point is 01:07:38 He was on top of everything. He remembered all sorts of historical details. He was describing the current situation. He went into detail of names and figures and everything. And he's on, completely on the ball. Smarter than every person you will talk to today. And as on the ball as any person you'll talk to today. That man, you just heard, is two years older than Joe Biden.
Starting point is 01:08:03 That's crazy. That is incredible. It shows that, like, you know, the criticism of Biden on this front is not an age criticism. It is a Joe Biden criticism. Yeah. By the way, let me remind you that David Sacks, an incredible interview with David Sacks, is the podcast. It'll be out tomorrow. It came out last night for Blaze TV subscribers.
Starting point is 01:08:26 You can stream it any time. It'll be out wherever you get your podcast and on YouTube tomorrow. Don't miss it. All right. You know, I wanted to talk about good things today. And we have the Missouri Attorney General on, Andrew Bailey, who is filling the shoes nicely of the Attorney General, who is now the senator from the great state of Missouri. Andrew, welcome to the program. Thank you so much for having me on.
Starting point is 01:08:55 You bet. So I just wanted to go over some of the things. things that you're doing because I wish more attorney generals, no, attorneys general would follow in your footsteps and a few of the other states. And I know several states are banning together on certain cases. But let's just go through some of the things you're doing. Your St. Louis Circuit attorney, is that a Soros person, Kim Gardner? Yes, that's a Soros-backed prosecutor that's been in office now for too long as creating more victims instead of protecting victims. And what are you doing about it?
Starting point is 01:09:37 Well, we've initiated a legal proceeding to remove her from office, to hold her accountable for her unlawful refusal to enforce the laws. And so it's called a writ of quo waronto. And we've initiated that proceeding. And just this week, we filed an amended petition 120 pages of additional facts that we've uncovered since we started this process and we're going to keep our foot on the gas pedal in order to store the rule of law and justice for victims in the city of St. Louis. Like, what are some of the things that she has done? Well, she's refused to prosecute cases. So she charges cases and then they languish on the docket sheets. She never gathers evidence. She never gets her witnesses together. She never prepares
Starting point is 01:10:16 for trial. And so the court has to dismiss the cases because the defendants have a right to a trial. She also refuses to inform and confer with victims, which is her constitutional statutory and not the least of which moral obligation. And she also refuses to file new charges referred to her by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. So this is a continuous pattern of behavior. It's an unlawful refusal to do her job. It's time for her to go and the rule of law to prevail. So in Missouri, in I think February, you launched an investigation into the Children's Hospital,
Starting point is 01:10:49 the Transgender Center. And to me, what's amazing about this is Jamie Reed, who worked at the transgender center, went to you and went public saying, these doctors, these hospital employees are lying to the parents of patients. She said on several occasions, doctors at the transgender center have continued prescribing medical transition even when a parent stated they were revoking consent. What have you found on this so far? Well, this issue is about protecting children for me.
Starting point is 01:11:24 and the allegations that the whistleblower has made and sworn testimony to my office goes even further than that. And it's even one-tenth of what she's saying is true. This is scary stuff. And she, first of all, this is a person who identifies as a progressive who asked to work as a caseworker in a transgender clinic because she believes in transgender rights. And so if she's saying this is too far, we've got to take it seriously. And so we marshaled state resources. We're conducting a thorough investigation. And some of the allegations include the very things you're saying. There's not real informed consent. They're not tracking, they're not doing real psychological or psychiatric assessments prior to prescribing cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers and ultimately surgery.
Starting point is 01:12:07 They're recommending transition surgery for children under the age of 18. And we know that some of these drugs have serious long-term and even permanent health consequences, brain swelling, loss of bone density, blindness. These aren't FDA approved. These are experienced. These are experimental drugs. Wow. And surgery is certainly irreversible. And so we're not going to let left-wing woke quacks experiment on children in the state of Missouri.
Starting point is 01:12:30 And we're taking every measure at our disposal to put it into it. Which includes the emergency regulation. What is that? Yeah, well, that's exactly right. And so under our rulemaking authority in statute, we've promulgated an emergency rule in order to put some safeguards in place so that parents have informed consent so they understand that European nations that are far to the left of America culturally have abandoned these dangerous practices in favor of psychiatry and psychology that require a psychological
Starting point is 01:12:59 assessment prior to administration of drugs and recommendation of surgery and that require these these clinics to actually obtain and maintain parental consent if they're going to go down this dangerous road because it's about protecting children and at the end of the day you know what's frightening to me is that we had asked the clinic in St. Louis to institute a moratorium as we had conducted our investigation because they acknowledged that the allegations of what the war made were serious. And yet the clinic refused a moratorium under the auspices that they're the only clinic that provides these kinds of procedures and treatments. Well, we found through subsequent investigation that that's patently false. There's a shadowy clandestine network of these clinics across the state
Starting point is 01:13:40 of Missouri that are experimenting on children, and it's dangerous. And we've got to do everything we can to put a stop to it. I was just at a at a pro-life center, a pre-born center, and they told me that just a few days before I had gotten there, a young girl who had gone and gotten the abortion pill walked in and had in a towel the body of her baby, and she was hysterical. and she said, I didn't know what to do. I didn't know where to go. And she came there. And she had just been told, oh, it'll just be like a, you know, a heavy period. It's not going to be a big deal.
Starting point is 01:14:27 This is traumatizing young girls, mainly, young girls. And they are at times flushing what, you know, will look just like a child. And then as if it's no big. deal, they return to the scene every time they have to go to the bathroom at their house. It is, I mean, the psychological damage alone, let alone the physical damage that can be done by these abortion pills. You and 20 state AGs are going through and saying you cannot send them through the mail. Where do we stand on this? Well, we've got to stand up and fight to protect the health of women and children. I'm proud to be leading this effort for Missouri to be a model state
Starting point is 01:15:21 for these kinds of these kinds of safety measures. And so, you know, President Biden, there's a statute on the books in the federal code that prohibits shipment of abortion pills through the mail. And that's been on the books for a long time. Well, despite the plain text of that statute, President Biden is trying to use unelected bureaucrats at the FDA to undermine the rule of law by allowing shipment of abortion pills through the mail. We know these are dangerous. That's the policy position that our elected representatives have taken by prohibiting that kind of behavior. And so we stood up and fought back and we told the pharmaceutical companies that we would hold them accountable, the pharmacies that we would hold them accountable for violations of the law.
Starting point is 01:15:58 And we're winning that fight. I'm happy to say that some of the major pharmacies across the United States are starting to back down and starting to read the actual law and realize that President Biden's unelected federal bureaucrats can't give them a pass, can't give them a get out of jail free card to get around the plain text of the statutory prohibition on this kind of dangerous dangerous behavior. You know you were working, you had a state gun law that was Second Amendment Preservation Act, and a judge ruled it unconstitutional. Where are you and the other states with some of these protections for guns? Do you know any update on the, um, the, um, the,
Starting point is 01:16:44 the confiscation or the making of a felony if you had a gun that, you know, had the extending stock. The pistol brace. Yeah, pistol brace. Yeah, no, exactly. So we, two issues there. Number one, we have joined other states in filing suit to block the federal rule that would ban pistol braces.
Starting point is 01:17:09 That would overnight make hundreds of thousands of Missouri, lawful Missouri gun owners federal offenders. And quite frankly, I don't have a lot of trust in President Biden's Department of Justice at this point. So we're not going to allow that to happen. We're going to stand up and protect Missouri and Second Amendment rights to even bear arms. Hang on just sick. Any update on that because the federal government has given everybody, I think, 120 days. And we're about halfway through that time now. And we're still waiting for the court to stop this. Are we going to know? Yeah, I mean, we've asked for an injunction. Certainly, we have put on the evidence to demonstrate to the court the urgency of the matter. And we are confident that the court will do the right thing and enjoin enforcement of that rule to give us time to litigate the merits of that case. And so I like where we are in that litigation. And it's important for the state attorneys general to join together as the vanguard in the fight against the rise of the unelected bureaucratic federal administrative state. And I'm proud to be leading. that effort on behalf of the state of Missouri. That's great. You know, I was really nervous when Eric Schmidt said he was going to run for Senate. And I said, Eric, you please tell me you have a great replacement. He said, oh, the guy coming up is just fantastic. And it appears as though he was absolutely right about that. Andrew Bailey, the Missouri Attorney General. Thank you so much for being on
Starting point is 01:18:34 with me. Hey, thank you, sir. Really appreciate the opportunity. You got it. Bye-bye. Stu and I were there at the pre-born clinic when that nurse told us that story. And I just cannot imagine the horror that everybody went through on that. Anyway, pre-born is a remarkable, remarkable place. And about 20% of all pregnancies in this country still end in abortion. That's staggering. 20%. Ever since the overturning of Roe versus Wade, now you have the abortion pill. It is, I mean, it's a bad situation. A few years ago, I partnered with the Ministry of Preborn, and I wanted to help them rescue babies from exactly the fate we're talking about. They provide free ultrasounds to expecting moms. Now, this is better than a sign. This is better than protest. This saves babies and their moms together, just an ultrasound.
Starting point is 01:19:48 It's $28 per ultrasound. And, you know, these women aren't asking for an ultrasound. And so what the pre-born clinics do is they come in and they say, okay, well, let's see what we're dealing with. Let's see how far along you are. They do an ultrasound for free because you or I or somebody else has paid for it. If you could donate $28, if you could donate $28 a month, you personally would be responsible probably for about six babies being born. That's amazing.
Starting point is 01:20:23 That's amazing. $28 a month, I think that's a good investment. Six lives are saved. Donate now, dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound 250. word baby or go to preborn.com slash back. That's preborn.com slash back. Sponsored by preborn. This is the Glenn Beck program. There's a couple of things that we should check on here.
Starting point is 01:21:06 Here's Janet Yellen yesterday. Cut one about Joe Biden's budget. Isn't it a fact that the president's proposed budget proposes $4.7 trillion in new taxes? It does, it does. It does Propose significant additional taxes, yes. 4.7 trillion? Something like that, yes. Did she have a stroke or something? I mean, seriously. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:21:39 Something weird. I mean, I can't. The strangest accent of any person. So strange, all of it. But just the 4.7. And that's just what they're saying. Yeah, and it's $4.7 trillion in new taxes. By the way, only, only on the billionaires.
Starting point is 01:21:55 Oh, because they have. They have. Every billionaire has a trillion dollars. That's how that works. Not going to touch you. Here is the TikTok CEO admitting that, yeah, the Chinese Communist Party can manipulate things. Do you disagree with FBI Director Ray and NSA Director Nekisone when they said that the CCP could have the capability to manipulate data and send it to the United States? Do you disagree with their statement? There's statement says could. So do you disagree with that?
Starting point is 01:22:30 No, I don't disagree with that. Okay, so it is possible that the CCP under the auspices of Bight Dance, which is your parent company, which you get paid from, has the ability to manipulate content that is being shared with 130 million Americans, yes? Congressman, I watch this one, make sure I'm understanding all these questions. I don't disagree with them that there are data risks in general. That's what I meant. There's a big data risk because on us specifically. Are there engineers located? inside mainland China that work on TikTok,
Starting point is 01:22:58 not Dojin, but TikTok. We are not the only company that has that. Are there engineers inside mainland China currently working on the algorithm for TikTok? Congressman, like I said, as you told me in my office. There are other companies that, as I told you in your office, the other companies are...
Starting point is 01:23:12 By the way, I'm going to reclaim my time. Please rename your project. Texas is not the appropriate name. We stand for freedom and transparency, and we don't want your project. It didn't go well. I can understand. We caught them.
Starting point is 01:23:26 I don't. This is not like a question. We caught them. They're engineers. People who work for these companies. We're talking about it in China. We got those messages leaked. I watched his testimony.
Starting point is 01:23:39 Watched his testimony yesterday. And then the powers of bee come down the stairs. And he's like, would you like to do the honors? And so there's a video of me that was released yesterday, permanently deleting TikTok from, from Blaze. Wow. We are no longer a part of TikTok. Good. We were actually doing well on TikTok, too. No. No. And I'm glad.
Starting point is 01:24:06 No. And I'm glad. So there's a TikTok challenge to end all TikTok challenges. Permanently delete TikTok. But what about where will we find idiots lip-syncing to things? Oh, you'll find that everywhere. Okay. You'll find that. They'll go to Reels, so they'll go somewhere else. We'll all get up.
Starting point is 01:24:24 Delete TikTok. It is really dangerous. The Glenn Beck Programme. Look, Air Canada does a sold world. Super, an offer for the assort. Station thermal, volcano. You've seen the price for the Japan?
Starting point is 01:24:38 Hmm, Eparg and sushi. Wow, the solds are good for for Mayork also. We could go to the plage and make a round-doney. Or, it would say a long march on the border of the sea-sill.
Starting point is 01:24:49 Hmm, I adore the canolies. Attain, there's another... Decide, wait. This sold is dinsury-limited. Reserved to Air Canada or at your agent of voyage. The conditions apply to hear.
Starting point is 01:25:35 What you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We've got quite an hour to wrap up the week. Bill O'Reilly joins us in just a second. I was talking to him on the phone yesterday,
Starting point is 01:25:57 and he's just had dinner with Donald Trump, and so the indictment, he has some really good perspective on this. Also, I want to talk to him a little bit about what's happening at Fox News. Fox News is in real trouble, gang, real trouble. And there's nobody better to talk about it
Starting point is 01:26:19 than with Bill O'Reilly. Well, I mean, there's probably 10 or 12 other people that I could talk to that would be a little better. But I got Bill O'Reilly. Okay, so Bill O'Reilly joins me in 16. seconds. I am proud of the fact that when I put meat on the table for my family, I know it comes from an American rancher, partly because I'm an American rancher. I'm an American rancher.
Starting point is 01:26:47 And I take one of our cows every year. However, I still need to supplement a bit. I do like my meat. And my wife likes chicken. And good ranchers has meat and chicken. Now, this is, this is really top-shelf meat. It is all sourced from here in America on local ranchers and the chickens from local farms. It is really good. Yes, it's steak night at my house tonight. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. 100% American meat delivered really good top-shelf stuff at a price that is really reasonable. And the best thing is, at inflation, they say beef is going to go up another 15% before the end of the year. You lock in your price right now. They have a price lock guarantee. That's fantastic. You'll be, you will be paying the least amount for your meat in about six months
Starting point is 01:27:49 than anybody else you know. Good Ranchers.com. Good Ranchers.com. Go there now. You also have the incentive. While it lasts, free bacon for a year. 24 ounces of Applewood smoke bacon added to each box for a year for free. 100% high-quality bacon sourced right from the farm. $200 worth of it over the course of a year. Just use the promo code back. Use the promo code back, good ranchers.com. Mr. Bill O'Reilly, how are you, sir? You know, I'm the same back, and I always use that line that it's tragic for everyone. You know, the graph doesn't change here at the O'Reilly Mansion. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't.
Starting point is 01:28:33 So, Bill, let's start with, I want to start first, I guess, with Fox, because there's a story out today that Tucker Carlson is being told, at least by an attorney, that you've got to apologize for what you've said. You have to apologize to Ray Epps. And Ray Epps has an attorney. And that attorney used to work for Perkins Coy. And then the attorney went to work for David Brock at, what is it, Truth Squad USA or something like that,
Starting point is 01:29:17 which is his SWAT team for truth. this this is a Clinton leftist operative somehow or another finding poor Ray Epps and representing Ray Epps so he gets a fair shake
Starting point is 01:29:33 well the story is interesting because this is the beginning of the assault in the court system against Fox and it happened six years ago and now it's happening all
Starting point is 01:29:49 over again for different reasons. So you're going to see more of this. I don't think, though, I would be surprised if any Fox News attorney was telling Carlson to apologize to Ray Epps. No, no, I'm saying that Ray Epps attorney is telling him. All right, okay. And what they're threatening is, we're going to sue you. Yeah, and don't be surprised if they do because the greasy attorneys,
Starting point is 01:30:16 and I'm using that plural now in a general form. They do this for free, and they're paid by other entities. So when I had to defend myself, I knew that there were big boys behind these accusations, for example, color of change, which is a George Soros-funded organization. Right. They came after me, too. Yeah. So that's the game here. And of course, the corporate media will never report on that.
Starting point is 01:30:51 Van Jones on CBS started Color of Change. So you're not going to get anything there. But does it kill you that you're looking at Ray Epps, who is on tape in a MAGA hat, clearly inciting the crowd? And an attorney that worked at Hillary Clinton's law firm that gave us the the dossier on Trump and then goes over to another Hillary Clinton, George Soros friend, Fax First USA, and David Brock, and that guy is representing the Maga Hat guy? Come on. Come on.
Starting point is 01:31:33 Yeah. You know, and I give you credit back, and you know that makes. It hurts. It pains me. Yes. Because you've put it together. You understand. what this is. So the
Starting point is 01:31:47 Fox News haters see an opportunity to destroy that business once and for all. And if you look at the rules of radical, okay, rules for radicals, it's keep the pressure on,
Starting point is 01:32:03 keep the pressure on, keep the pressure on. And Ray Epps, I don't know who Ray Epps is, I know what he did, but I don't know him. you know, they're telling him, look, if you cooperate with us, we'll do this for you, whatever it may be. So Ray goes, oh, yeah, okay. And you're going to see more and more and more and more of this, hoping that Fox News collapses,
Starting point is 01:32:32 because they do have a major problem with the Dominion lawsuits. So let me ask you, before we get into Dominion, let me ask you, on the Ray Epps thing, isn't it a broadcaster's right to take somebody who has been thrust into the public because of what they were doing and take the videotape of him inciting, then take the fact that he was one of the top five most wanted, and then he was taken off. Nobody in the Justice Department will comment on it. Is it really something you can sue over by saying, you know, this looks really bad? I mean, this looks like the guy you're looking for inciting.
Starting point is 01:33:14 What is he an FBI agent? What's the deal with Ray Epps? How is that suable? I don't know what Carlson said, quote. Do you know what he said? I don't. Okay, so we don't know what he said about Mr. Epps. I did look into him for the no-spin news on Bill O'Reilly.com,
Starting point is 01:33:34 because obviously, I mean, this is the guy who was inciting the crowd, as you reported accurately. and what I found out was that they didn't indict him, the Justice Department, because he didn't break into the Capitol. He did not go into the building. And so that he escaped indictment because 100% of the indictments
Starting point is 01:33:58 were either you were in the building physically or on the Internet you were involved in some kind of conspiracy, So him actually inciting to get people to go in. Because that comes under freedom of speech. Wow. Insighting? And it does.
Starting point is 01:34:20 Insighting? Well, look, he's going to say that he wanted to let his protest be known. That's going to be his defense. And the Justice Department, it's a civil beef, by the way. To them, and I'm not saying they made the right decision. I mean, but I don't, you know, I'd have to look at exactly what the timeline is for him. I mean, certainly it's worthy to comment on. I have you have.
Starting point is 01:34:50 Yeah. Okay. But if you accuse, directly accuse Epps of a crime, then Epps can sue you. He can see you anyway, but it'll probably get thrown out in summary judgment. Yeah. So it just depends on how Carlson framed it. All right. Let me go now to the Dominion case, because how is this going to end? Well, no one knows. Six years ago, I left Fox News. So this is karma to me. I'm sorry, but it is.
Starting point is 01:35:24 And then, you know, six years, almost to the day, the trial for Dominion begins in Delaware. Now, I think that trial is going to be postponed, find something to postpone it, You know how that goes in civil court. But Dominion has a case. And today, Bill Barr, the former Attorney General, came out and said, well, it's a weak case. I don't think it's a weak case. I think it could go either way because you do as a press person, and you and I have made our living being, you know, in the media since the War of 1812. so we've been around for a while,
Starting point is 01:36:09 we do have wide latitude to comment on public affairs. We do. The problem is, and the mistake is so stupid, is that a lot of times Fox News would bring on people, like Giuliani and Sidney Powell and these people, who would spout this what they believed happened, which they have a right to do. All right, they can say,
Starting point is 01:36:35 I think that the election was fraudulent. That's a protected opinion. You can do that. Right. But then there was no other side to the story presented. Yeah, we had Sidney Powell on exactly one time. And she made all these charges. And I said, do you have evidence of it?
Starting point is 01:36:54 She said, well, we're going to release it. And I said, well, then you're welcome back here when you release it. You know, but I never use them because I, you know, in our, in our research. Yeah. There was nothing. They didn't have anything, nothing filed. But that was the point of, that was the point of our interview.
Starting point is 01:37:17 She said, we have this, we have this, we have this. And I said, then why haven't you presented it? Right. When are you presenting that? I mean, it does. And that's what experienced broadcasters do. But all Fox had to do is what I did every night on the factor. And what you did when you work for Fox is you bring in an opposing point of view.
Starting point is 01:37:35 That's all you had to do. And then they wouldn't be in this horrendous situation. There are two things here. They may have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars, which will gut the company. They're already laying off and are already cutting sours of Fox News, already underway. Okay? And if those primetime talent have to go into a courtroom where there's going to be cameras and they get eviscerated, you know,
Starting point is 01:38:05 it's going to happen. Okay, and that includes Rupert Murdoch. So this is insane, right? Insane. There's no win here for Fox, even if they win. They don't win. But all you had to do was okay here's Sidney Powell and but here's somebody
Starting point is 01:38:21 who doesn't think that happened. And then you're free. You don't have any liability. I mean, Rupert Murdoch, I don't know, maybe living up in a space station at this point or, you know, in an iron lung. I don't know if he's an audio animatronic at this point because he's he's fairly old and uh has kind of you know let the kids
Starting point is 01:38:43 take fox and my understanding bill you might know better than me they don't really like fox all that much uh i mean this is a this is a possible knockout if they really uh take it apart financially well the good news for fox i did a poll and bill o'rereilly dot com the other polls reflect this, is that the hardcore Fox News viewer, which is a very conservative individual over the age of 65, doesn't care. So they'll keep their audience. Their audience isn't going to abandon FNC. The second thing is FNC's talent, the people they have on the air, are so much better than CNN and MSNBC.
Starting point is 01:39:34 they're not going to lose any viewers to those networks. So, viewer-wise, they're okay. But in the court of public opinion, all the discretionary people that used to watch you at 5 o'clock and me at 8 o'clock, all of those people that weren't ideological that were just looking for information and robust debate, they're gone. And the younger viewers are gone as well. Bill, isn't one of the strange things about this
Starting point is 01:40:04 and looking at the texts and stuff that have come out is that Fox really seem to panic over losing some viewers to newsmax and you know, as you point out, like they're so much better than their hosts are so much better than MSNBC and CNN. They're not going to flee there.
Starting point is 01:40:21 They did flee for a couple of months in that time, at least some of them, and the panic seems to have really moved their coverage. Of course. Because it's all about money for them. So when I went on the air and told my audience, and Bill O'Reilly.com is a subscription service. So you pay, not a lot, and we give you discounts on my books and everything else,
Starting point is 01:40:46 but you pay to hear and see me every day. Well, I went on the air and I said, this election fraud charge isn't going anywhere, nowhere. I lost a thousand viewers in 24 hours, a thousand subscribers. Boom, vanished. Okay? And that was a revenue hit, obviously. But my business model is simple. I always tell the truth based on facts as I see it.
Starting point is 01:41:21 Yeah. Fox does not do that now. It is a money machine. now. All right. Hang on, Bill. I got to take a quick break and then we're going to come back and talk about Donald Trump and what the plan there is. First, let me talk about Goldline. We move every day just a little bit closer to a collapse of the banking system as we know it in this country. I mean, Art Laffer was shockingly realistic on what's coming our way. It will be bad and it will mean a centralization of our currency and a loss, a great amount of loss all across the board.
Starting point is 01:42:02 I am urging you to call Gold Line and talk to them about gold or silver. Maybe you think you can't afford gold. Okay, but you can silver. And silver, I mean, if things really go to hell in a handbasket, silver is like 20 bucks now. And you can get the silver and that you could trade with. I mean, unless you have a small, small fractional coin of gold, you're not going to be trading with anything like that. But it's a great storehouse of wealth that is protected against inflation.
Starting point is 01:42:37 It's goldline.com. I want you to call them now. Get all the information. I urge you to do this. 866 Goldline. 866 Goldline or goldline. 10 second station ID. So what is the, what's the story?
Starting point is 01:43:01 I read this ridiculous article. We just went over it. with the New York Times on the New York attorney and George Soros, their defense of Soros. What is what's happening with this? Is this a vendetta? Is this going to happen? I don't know whether it's going to happen, but it's a fiasco, word of the day. It's embarrassing.
Starting point is 01:43:28 Alvin Bragg, the DA of Manhattan's been in an office for 15 months and almost 100, assistant DAs have quit. That's crazy. Every single New York City police officer hates his guts. Bragg's guts. Okay. Crime in New York
Starting point is 01:43:47 rising on every level except for murders. murders are down a little a year. This man is an incompetent and he's a political player. Soros organization has donated more than one million dollars.
Starting point is 01:44:04 through various political action committees to help Alvin Brack. Are we doing the math here? Yeah, I know. Not the million dollars. For a local DA. Right. Okay, this is unheard of. So, look, I'm not going to be irresponsible and speculate.
Starting point is 01:44:26 I'm going to tell you, in my opinion, there is no case. In my opinion, and we had Brett Tomlin on, a former U.S. attorney on the NOSBIN News last week, this week, I should say, it'll never see a courtroom. It'll get thrown out. And if it doesn't in the state of New York, which is, you know, not exactly the most honest state in the union, it'll go to the Supreme Court, they'll throw it out. Yeah. So this is a political prosecution, and this should never happen in the United States of America.
Starting point is 01:45:00 And on the other thing, I'm sorry to blowiate. but on the document thing in Maa Lago, where Trump's attorney is now testifying today, they're desperately trying to find a crime here. There's no crime right now, and that's not how investigations go. No, it's not. A crime is committed, and then you investigate. Stalin used to say, show me the man, and I'll find the crime. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:29 That's what we have now. That's right. And so, look, I'm not sticking up for Trump because I like Trump, but the rule of law and equal justice for all in this country is collapsing before our eyes, and people should understand that. Are you watching what's happening with the Biden's? Well, we're out of time. Can you hang on for just a minute? Yeah, sure. For you anything, man. Bill O'Reilly will continue with him in just a second.
Starting point is 01:46:00 By the way, in case you don't know, we retaliated. An Iranian drone killed some Americans in Syria, and we retaliated and sent some missiles over. We'll see what that means. And we'll watch over the weekend. More in just a second with Mr. Bill O'Reilly. The Glenn Beck Program. Well, Mike Pallindell is always full of surprises, to say the least. He thought, you know, his pillows were popular, but then he did my slippers and now they outsell.
Starting point is 01:46:44 The pillows. What? That's crazy. But they are great slippers. They're incredibly comfortable. You can wear them in any place. They're having a massive closeout sale on them right now. If you use a promo code back, you'll get the all-season slippers for just $25.
Starting point is 01:47:04 These things are normally $150. $25. They just want to blow them all out. you're getting $120 worth of savings and they are really good and they're guaranteed for 10 years for the durability and, you know, they're just, they're great. MyPillow.com. Go to the radio listener square at MyPillow.com. Grab a pair of the all-season slippers for 25 bucks, regularly priced 14998. Limit 10 pairs at checkout. Enter the promo code back or call 800-966-3179. It's MyPillow.com promo code, Beck. And you can still save 20 bucks off Blaze TV right now.
Starting point is 01:47:49 If you go to blazeTV.com slash Glenn, there, use the promo code. Will not be censored. Get 20 bucks off. That's amazing. The corruption is just startling to me. It is so clear and so obvious and no one is really talking about it. It's just all about politics. Bill O'Reilly joins us.
Starting point is 01:48:22 Bill, the U.S. Attorney nominee that Joe Biden just put up is a guy who was in the District of Pennsylvania and while the Delaware's U.S. Attorney's Office
Starting point is 01:48:38 was investigating this health care company, he was the guy who was working on that case. Well, that case and the defrauding of the health care company, the guy who was accused of defrauding it is Jim Biden. And he had been interviewed by this lawyer several times.
Starting point is 01:49:05 Now, the last person that he nominated was, let's see, Chung, Cindy Chung. She was confirmed to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Chung, whom President Biden had nominated for the federal appellate court, had been overseeing the criminal investigation into the bankrupt health care business AmeriCorps a business Jim Biden allegedly siphoned hundreds of thousands of dollars from to finance repairs for his beach house. I mean, what is going on there? Two attorneys? Well, we need, we need Elliot Ness to come on in, don't we? Boy, we do. You know, look, I don't think at this point for people listening to the Glenn Beck radio program, and you've got my Corgi all upset now.
Starting point is 01:49:53 I'm sorry. Didn't mean to mention Jim Biden. We all know about Jim Biden, okay? Holly apparently did not know about Jim Biden. Yeah, it's a shock when you hear it. Yeah, and so she's really upset. But anyway, does anybody, and I'm asking this seriously, not think the Biden administration's corrupt at this point in history? is there anybody who doesn't think so besides joy they are i mean it's so and but then the frustration
Starting point is 01:50:24 comes back and then people write to you they write to me well what can we do about it and the answer is nothing because 80 million americans voted for joe biden and you know you get what you pay for when you go to the store and you get who you vote for. So my congressman is George Santos. I voted for George Santos. All right? I mean, I didn't know. I, you know, how many people research Congress people's background.
Starting point is 01:51:02 I never met him. But he's my congressman, and I voted for him because the guy he ran against was a far-left Loon Zimmerman. Right. Okay? So I got, you know, I really don't want a far-leve's loon representing me. Right. So I vote for George Santos, who turns out to be Dracula.
Starting point is 01:51:23 I mean, so what can I do about it? I can mock him on the radio and television, which I do, but votes are votes. So yesterday, a AP poll comes out. Joe Biden's approval rating is it 38%. Now, I don't know anybody among those 38. Do you know anybody who's voting? Okay, I know people who hate Trump, still hate him. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:51 And still won't repudiate their Biden vote because they hate Trump so much. Correct. I know people like that. I do. But I don't know anyone who goes, I want that Joe Biden to run again. I'm doing them a little Muhammad Ali. Oh, Joe Biden to run again. Okay?
Starting point is 01:52:07 He's the greatest. Right. So we all know. The country knows. But here's the key question. Will the country learn? And I'm sorry, but I don't think so. We're just too poisoned with ideology, too emotional now.
Starting point is 01:52:26 We don't step back and really understand that you have to vote competency. You know, when I had my supper with Trump last week, last Tuesday, Number one, he paid for supper, and it was good at Maelago. There's a good food there. May I ask, are you a Hobbit? What is the difference between dinner and supper? Supper is for working glass people. Okay, all right, okay.
Starting point is 01:52:52 Dinner is far. Okay, all right, okay. Malago. Anyway, two hours. Just dropping me out on a little patio. And I went over. Some of it was on a record. some of it's off the record, but I went over
Starting point is 01:53:11 some questions that I needed to know about how he did what he did. That was what the O'Reilly Trump History Tour was all about. Okay, and now we got an update with Putin and she and the cartels. Look, you may hate Donald Trump with, you know, a passion, but he has a grasp of the issues.
Starting point is 01:53:36 That's the bottom line. He understands the dynamic. He understands economics. He understands foreign affairs. He knows who the players are. And he governed, in my opinion, in a responsible manner. Now, once he starts on the road to, you know, ranking out, remember ranking out when you were a kid?
Starting point is 01:53:59 I want to rank you out by insulting you. Then it all just goes crazy. But by just as it administers. and trying to get the country in a strong position, Trump succeeded. But you'll never get that from the corporate media or the people who hate him. So if he, I mean, he's, you know, running again. If he gets the nomination. And he probably will.
Starting point is 01:54:26 Yeah, I think so. This all will help him. Yes. All of this crazy stuff will help him. He's not a person anymore. He's a, he's a symbol. I really, I mean, he's a symbol of, I, want to fight back.
Starting point is 01:54:40 You know, he's, he's, he's almost been adopted as people's, uh, proxy in some way. Every time he's hit, they feel the hit that they've taken. And so. Very good. Right. So. Very, very good. So it's a transferal of emotion.
Starting point is 01:55:00 Yes. Yes. So Trump is going to be in Texas tomorrow. You've given a speech in Texas. Yep. And I can guarantee you that there will be so much emotion in that speech, not on the part of Trump, and you know what he's going to do. I mean, just today, he called Alvin Bragg a demented psychopath or something like, in his usual, very casual way. So you know Trump will give the red meat speech, but if you look at the crowd that goes there tomorrow,
Starting point is 01:55:37 in Texas to see him, they have emotion invested in the man. Yes. Yes, they do. So let me ask you two things. One, if he gets the nomination, do you think he can gain anyone who wasn't on his side last time? Yes, because it's the grocery store vote. Okay. So the independents who don't necessarily hate him, but are not approving of his demeanor,
Starting point is 01:56:12 they got to go to the grocery store. Okay? And this is getting worse and worse and worse. So he'll get a portion of those votes. And then depending on who he picks as vice president, and I hope it's DeSantis, even though now they're slinging mud at each other again. And I did talk to him about that. I told him flat out, I was cutting my Dover's soul.
Starting point is 01:56:40 I looked up and I said, you want to get back in that overall office? You've got to put the Sanis on the two. He's got to move up to Georgia, rent a little condo, and you guys are got to run together. He did not push back on that back. That would be a way to get the, the ticket through. That's right.
Starting point is 01:57:03 If he wants to be president, that's your best shot. Okay? If you put Carrie Lake on the second, you'll lose. Yeah. Do you think he knows that? I'm not sure.
Starting point is 01:57:16 Because he goes in and out. When he's with me, the reality zone descends. But at one in the morning, I'm not sure the reality zone is there. Wow. And it, Is there anything that is bad enough to open this lead up?
Starting point is 01:57:40 Yes, yes, if the recession kicks in, you've always seen Amazon and Apple and meta and all these people laying people off. Big, big time layoffs. And you're going to see that unfortunately, and I say that sincerely, at Fox. You're going to see layoffs now. and that can lead to a recession. So this time next year, and we'll have four or five primaries already under our belt, it's coming up fast. If the country goes at the recession, there's even more pain at the grocery store than Trump gains.
Starting point is 01:58:19 Mr. Bill O'Reilly, thank you very much. We'll talk to you again. Okay, Beck, thanks for having me, and I want you to join you and Stu Team Normal on Bill O'Reilly.com. I'm sending you gear this week. Oh, nice. And you'll have it. And Team Normal is what we're doing right now. Okay.
Starting point is 01:58:36 And I guess as part of Bill O'Reilly.com, you're getting these insights of private meetings with Donald Trump all the time. I mean, this is incredible. Yeah. And you're a genius, too. I just want to let you. Thank you. Thanks a lot, Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com. Back in just a second.
Starting point is 01:58:54 Rachel lives in New Jersey. She writes in about her dog's experience with Roughgreen. She said, my 10-year-old Golden Doodle Maverick loves rough greens. I started using it when I heard your ad on the radio, and I was unsure if he'd eat it since he's usually a picky eater. But I followed the instructions. I started with half the recommended amount, gradually adding more until I got to the full amount. And he loves it. His coat is shinier.
Starting point is 01:59:21 He has a lot more pep in his step. Thank you so much. I thank you, Rachel, for writing in. That is exactly the case that I had with Uno. He was such a picky eater. He was a pain in the, and we started putting rough greens on his food, and he loved it. That was the win for us, just getting him to eat. Now we see the difference in him as well, and it just kept coming month after month after month.
Starting point is 01:59:48 Roughgreens.com slash Beck. Make sure your dog likes to eat it. They don't want you out anything if your dog doesn't like it. So they're going to send you a first trial bag free. And then if your dog eats it, you'll get the second bag and the third bag. And it's amazing what it's done to Uno. Roughgreens.com slash back. RUFFFGreens.com slash back or call 833, Glenn 33.
Starting point is 02:00:12 This is the Glenn Back program. Biennue at board of Via Rai. Embarked and celebrate. Rigolet. Publié. Savour. Admire. And profite.
Starting point is 02:00:39 Via Raille, the voice that we love. Jeez. This weekend, the Glenn Beck podcast, I have David Sacks. He is the founding CEO of PayPal, a venture capitalist. He was one of the angel investors in Facebook and Airbnb. I don't think he has to worry about money unless it's in a bank. And this podcast is all about that. he breaks down the biggest questions being asked, who owns our money?
Starting point is 02:01:15 Is it you? Is it the bank? How does this all work? Federal Reserve controlled CBCs? Is that the end game? I ask him point blank. Who's to blame for the collapse? How is life going to change?
Starting point is 02:01:30 We also discussed AI, his friendship with Elon Musk, which was fascinating. And as he said, Biden's reliable incompetence. we'll uh we'll we'll oh and you have to hear what he says about the nord stream pipeline this is a podcast you don't want to miss it'll come out tomorrow wherever you get your podcast you'll also see it on youtube but it's available now on blaze tv it is a great podcast with david sacks um he is now one of the co-host for the all in podcast who i mean it's just a great i listen to it all the time great guys great great great guys um and very very very very smart. May not agree with them always, but very, very smart.
Starting point is 02:02:17 You'll see it on blazedtiv.com slash glen. It'll be available tomorrow, YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts. By the way, it is, yesterday was the anniversary of the Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death speech. And when's the last time you read that? Gosh, a long time. High school, maybe. Yeah, listen to this. this is no time for ceremony.
Starting point is 02:02:44 The question before us is one of awful moment to this country for my own part. I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery. And in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. Wow, listen to this. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God in our country. should I keep my opinion back at such a time through fear of giving some sort of offense? Should I consider myself? If I did, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country,
Starting point is 02:03:23 an act of disloyalty towards the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings. Look, it's natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We're apt to shut our eyes against the painful truths. and listen to the song of that siren until she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty?
Starting point is 02:03:51 Are we opposed to be of the number of those who have eyes, yet see not, having ears, hear not, for the things which so gravely concern their own freedom, security, and economic future? for whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst and to provide for it. That's just the opening preamble.
Starting point is 02:04:22 That's incredible. Isn't that just like where we are now? Feels like it. It does. It does. And he's like, look, if we have to fight, then let's fight. we have to debate, I'm going to debate hard.
Starting point is 02:04:40 Liberty or death? Yeah, I mean, look, we are at a point where obviously we, you know, it should, we should be at a point, I guess, with the foundation that we have, that we can solve these things, you know, with debate and normal process. But, you know, look, it's a scary time. And some people, not everyone's going to see it that way, unfortunately. You know, we have to make sure we stay true to our, the American principles. They've worked pretty well so far.
Starting point is 02:05:15 Pretty well. By the way, just before we leave quickly, prayers for Stu and his family. President Miles is not doing well. And we'll be thinking of you this weekend. Thank you, man. Appreciate God bless. We will see you Monday. The Glenn Back Program.
