Welcome to the Glenn Beck program, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

That's where we begin in 60 seconds. First, I have to tell you, things are on the edge. And if we become an unstable nation, it is most likely that we will lose our reserve. currency status, which means our dollar will become Venezuela overnight. And the reason why I know that's true is because they've always told me we'll never lose our World Reserve currency. We're the least stinky poop in the pile. Oh, well that's great. Well, we're going to lose it, gang. We already have actors all over the world moving in that direction. Listen, please call Lear Capital today. They can help you build a protective hedge against economic insanity. I want you to call them today,

Lear Capital will also credit your account $250 towards your purchases because you're a listener of mine. So call 800-957 gold. Please, gold or silver. Do it today. gold, 800-957 gold. All right, so Friday afternoon, we haven't had a chance to chat about this. Friday afternoon, RFK came out in Arizona and endorsed Donald Trump. And it was, I mean, his speech, which immediately was cut off by CNN, was, I thought, tremendous.

Stu, welcome. Hey, Glenn. Yeah, I thought a lot of it was really good. He hit all the, I think, very true notes about free speech and the left and the way the media is reacting. I'm not the biggest RFK junior fan in the world, but it's a very positive development for Donald Trump in his campaign. And, you know, look, you're talking about a race where probably the entire range of outcomes is Trump plus four to Trump minus four. and in a race like that, if you can pull a point away, maybe a point in a half because of RFK Jr. dropping out and endorsing you, that's a big development in a campaign.

Everyone's trying to downplay it, but I don't think that's the right way to look at it. No, and I think it's more than just his voters. I think this will affect a Kennedy endorsing Donald Trump. That's insane, especially this Kennedy, who's as far left as you can get. why did he do it? Because this Democratic Party needs to be stopped. This Democratic Party is not a friend of democracy. They are not a friend of freedom of speech. They are an enemy of those things. And he is making that statement. He's not necessarily for Donald Trump. He's making the statement, this party is corrupt and you can't be a part of it. Look how they tried to stop me. And they say they're defending democracy. And it's not going to just stop with him. How long will it be before the Green Party does the same thing?

You know what the Democrats are doing to the Green Party? It's now going to the Supreme Court, they hope. The lawyers challenging the national Democrats to keep the Green Party off the Wisconsin ballots, they think the Supreme Court's going to pick this up and decide quickly, because here's what the Democrats are arguing. Have you heard this, too? What they're arguing? I don't know that I've heard the specific argument here now.

Okay, yeah, this is crazy. So in 2016, the Green Party made the ballot, but remember, that was credited partly to Hillary's loss, that the Green Party was on the ballot. So they made sure, let's get them off the ballot. Okay. four years ago, the Wisconsin Elections Commission denied the Green Party a spot on the 2020 ballot because of a paperwork issue. Ah, they didn't get their paperwork into it.

They always find the paperwork issues, as they did with Cornell West recently in this election. Yeah, they sure do. So this time, they're adding a requirement laid out in the U.S. Constitution. You're going to be a presidential candidate. You need to be 35 years old. Check. 14 years a resident of the United States and a natural born citizen. Check.

And now they've added a new one. You have to be a Republican or a Democrat. What? Now, that's certainly how they've been acting not only this year, but many, many years. But that's their actual argument is you have to be Republican or Democrat. actual argument. Their actual argument. In which state is it?

Wisconsin or Michigan, did you say? Wisconsin. Wisconsin. Wisconsin. I mean, I don't know. It doesn't seem like they're exactly the party of democracy. This is what dictators do. They try to jail their competitors and they do everything they can to stop any other competitor from getting on to the ballot.

I mean, we all know this, don't we? This is what happens in Banana Republics. This is what happens in Russia. This is what happens in Iran. This is what happens with the Taliban. You think that they just let anybody on? No, they choose. Now, it is amazing to me how these guys are choosing to stand up for democracy,

the Democrats have just won another legal challenge to keep Cornell West off the ballot. So you have Robert F. Kennedy, the Green Party, and Cornell West, all is left as you can get. They're all complaining that the Democratic Party is shutting us down. Not the Republicans. The Democrats... I think you're going to see some Democrats who are kind of those Reagan Democrats wake up to some of this.

And they wouldn't necessarily wake up with the Green Party. But I think they wake up with RFK. A Democrat and a Kennedy. I don't know. They go kind of hand in hand. It's possible. I think, you know, you have, when you look at it, I mean, I think you can look at it a bunch of different ways. I mean, there's a transactional part of this, which is, you know, can't be ignored, where this is a good thing for RFK, right?

Like, he's not going anywhere. Is it? 4%. Yeah, totally. He's been, he is going to, I mean, he's being welcomed like he's a rock star by the Republicans. He's also being shunned like he is a traitor. He was already shunned by those people. I don't know.

There's a difference. When he launched his campaign against Biden back in the day, he was a traitor. he was already being shunned by them. He's got nothing left to lose from those people. I think there is a difference between running against Biden and declaring your support for Hitler. I mean, that is a line, I think, that you do not cross. He doesn't get invited to Thanksgiving. I mean, that's probably about the extent of it. He's already lost every connection in the party. And I think, look, he's been embarrassed.

embraced for a solid year by the right, like in ways that they would normally not do with someone with his set of viewpoints. So, I mean, I think he sees a future here. And look, with Donald Trump, I think he sees an opportunity to do a lot of the things that he thinks are important. His life's work has been. And I don't have any problem. I have no problem with him on a panel looking into all kinds of stuff with farnumstitical companies. I have no problem. Yeah, that's fine.

I have a problem. I have a problem with a panel that is completely staffed by clones of him and socialist, but that'll never happen because they're in bed with the pharmaceutical companies. And at the end of the day, Donald Trump has the power here. If RFK Jr. starts doing stupid crap, he can just fire him. I mean, like, so what is the risk here? Put him in there. Let him do what he wants to do.

If it starts getting out of hand, fire the guy. I mean, that's that he has all of those, he has all of that power. And so this is, you know, something that I, you know, if I'm Donald Trump, I'm 100% embracing this because you're going to get some benefit out of it. Absolutely. And there's very little downside to it. I personally think this is a massive, I think this is a really big deal. Because I think this is a domino. People are seeing the arrest in Paris of, you know, another kind of Elon Musk.

and seeing people like Vindman coming out and saying, Elon Musk, you should be very afraid because they're going to do it to you too. And saying it in a celebratory way. I mean, they're seeing the clamping down of freedom of speech. They're seeing the same conditions in this country that are coming from London. They didn't hear any real meat from Kamala. They know that she is a socialist. But you combine all of these plus Kennedy, Cornell West, and the Green Party, proving that this is not a party that celebrates democracy.

It's the exact opposite. And I think you're going to start peeling people away like crazy. I think this is the beginning of the unraveling because of their arrogance. Now, if you watched his pulling out of the race and his endorsement of Donald Trump, I thought it was fascinating. I happened to disagree with you, Stu, on he has nothing to lose. One of the things he said was the only thing that gives me hesitation is because of my family. I know what is going to happen to my wife and my children because of this decision today. I think, you know, you do run a grave risk in this society.

If you're a Kennedy, period. If you're a Kennedy that runs against Biden, period. And the third one is you're a Kennedy, you leave the party and you endorse Donald Trump. I think that's an incredibly brave thing to do myself. You know, I should clarify here. there is something to lose, which is secret service protection. That went up in flames immediately. They pulled it from him.

Well, RFK, he posted this over the weekend. What MAGA really means. The phrase is troubled liberals who think it is a call for a return to an America before the civil rights, gay rights, and women's rights. But I have a more generous interpretation, one that is truer. to my experience of Donald Trump as he is today. Make America Great Again recalls a nation brimming with vitality, with a can-do spirit, with hope and belief in itself. It was an America that was beginning to confront its darker shadows.

It could acknowledge the injustice in its past and present, yet at the same time it could celebrate its successes. Amen. It was a nation of broad prosperity, the world's most vibrant middle class, an idealistic belief, though not consistently applied, in freedom, justice, and democracy. It was a nation that led the world in innovation, productivity, and technology, and it was the healthiest country in the world. I've talked to many Trump supporters. I have talked with his

inner circle. I have talked to the man himself. This is the America. They wish to restore. well, thank you. That's exactly right. And if anybody in the press would actually talk to Trump supporters or actually feel what's going on in those rallies, you would know that as well. But the press and this government, this regime is pushing people into darker and darker places. They are in Europe, they are starting to. to listen to Nazis, which is on the left, by the way. Conservatives in America want freedom, maximum freedom, and individual liberty. Nazis don't want that. Just want to let you know. My response to RFK Jr. on X from this weekend, next, first, let me tell you about relief factor sleep. Getting poor sleep isn't just an inconvenience. It absolutely ruins your day. For one thing, ruining your day and having you groggy all morning or sleepy in the afternoon,

it's also terrible for your health and it can be dangerous. Ever fall asleep while you're driving because you got such terrible night's sleep the night before? If you're somebody who has difficult sleeping, if you find that to be extraordinary that you just can't fall asleep, May I suggest you try Z Factor. Z Factor. It's, we used to call it Relief Factor Sleep, but it's Z Factor and it's a hundred percent drug-free way to help you follow sleep faster,

sleep better, and stay asleep longer. Z Factor. Use as a formula of four natural ingredients to calm your mind, relax your body so you can ease into sleep, sleep sounder, and sleep through the night. It works for me. It works for my wife. Would you give it a try?

if you're losing sleep, it's worth the shot, Z Factor. You'll save 46% on your first order. You just go to Relieffactor.com, call 8004 relief. 800, the number four relief. 10 seconds, station ID. So I wrote a response to RFK when he published that. I read it and I thought it was important to respond to him. for what has happened this weekend.

I wrote, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., yes, thank you. This is exactly what we mean. The self-examination of our wrongs have made us better, more clear and empathetic. But the hatred of our country, the hatred that so many try to push, is an infection in our family of man. We have all engaged in it at times, either to win and argument or out of the spirit of anger and divisiveness. We all must correct our ways, ask for forgiveness, and begin again. It is driving a wedge that we must remove to come together.

And the only way we can come together is to rediscover the reason most of our families came here in the first place. Like it or not, they are the same capitalized revolutionary works of our founding fathers. They are the same principles that your father, Martin Luther King and Lincoln espoused. Yes, we have never met our goals in all men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights. But can you think of a grander goal if we could all truly come together equal and not separate? So many Americans are tired of being told to hate our country, hate our history, hate our history. and hate our neighbor. We make mistakes.

We then learn from them, and we come together to march on in hopes of making a more perfect nation. We need each other. Opposition in all things is found in the scriptures. Our diversity allows us to be strong, but only if we unify as work and work is one. E pluribus unum, from many one.

Not in talent, not in wealth, failure, or success, but in mind and spirit. We come together to be free and be a beacon of hope for all mankind. That, yes, you can pursue your happiness here in America. We need to chart our own course and inspire others. However, without our rights, which are outlined and codified in the Bill of Rights, this cannot be done. There will always be the natural man among us.

Those who thrive on greed and power. Their tools are lies, hatred, distortion, and fear. Those tools destroy and never build. The world needs empathy, forgiveness, and truth. Those are the tools of a master builder. The truth shall set us free. Let us rebuild and with the lessons of the past, mind, build anew.

This is the real task before each of us. Are we willing to align ourselves with the principles that so many men and women died for? I, for one, am ready. And I begin by recognizing you, RFK Jr. And I do not agree with many things that you say. But I need to recognize, I know the risk you are taking, the loss of so many friends and family and the sacrifice your family will be forced to make due to your words and actions today in endorsing Donald Trump. I believe this to be sincere. You have willingly gone into the lion's den

for love of country. No man risks his entire life of comfort for nothing. No man risks his life and is willing to be shot and or die for principles he does not believe in and does not believe is worth dying for. I believe your actions may place you in your uncle's inspirational book, but many names will be listed from these times. May we all be worthy and willing to stand. Let us come together where we can and work all the rest out as friends and Americans later. I think this is a turning point.

Isn't it interesting that we're in? cycles. We seem to be in a two-week cycle. We had the assassination attempt, and then we had the RNC, and everybody's feeling good. Then we had Biden quit and Kamala come in, and we went through a two-week cycle at the end of her, you know, DNC convention. And then what happened? Immediately after that, Without a day's break, RFK comes in and we're in a Trump cycle again. We live in interesting times. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor.

This two shall pass. Tomorrow it'll be Tuesday. And this is the Glenn Beck program. We were talking about RFK Jr. And how, you know, there's no risk for him going to the Republicans at this point. Because I think there is. He's been left by the Democrats. And Kamala Harris didn't even return his phone calls, right?

But when you said that, I immediately thought his political risk, which I think is true. I think that's correct. I don't think there's political rights to this move. I think it's upside for him. However, when it comes to the fact, and we kind of just brushed over this, I think it's important to highlight. There's no justification to remove Secret Service protection from RFK Jr. right now. First of all, he's still a candidate in a bunch of states. He's keeping himself on the ballot in, honestly, most of the states that he's going to be in.

So he's still a candidate. He talked about some outlying possibility of how he could still become president in his speech, he said that. And he's still going to be on the ballot in Michigan because he can't pull himself off of it, probably Wisconsin as well. But beyond all that, obviously the risk to RFK Jr. After what we saw in Pennsylvania, after what we've seen through the Kennedy family through all these years, is legitimate and undoubtedly increased after what he's done here. So when it comes to risk to his life, there is risk there. And the fact that they pull his secret service protection immediately is there's no. justification for it unless you want the man to have something terrible to happen to him, which of course

is actually the answer probably. It's really bad. We welcome Pat Gray in from Pat Gray on Leash. Hello, Pat. Hello. Happy to be here. Happy to be here. Thank you. Thank you. So did you happen to, did you see the new republic where they've come out and said that Kamala Harris is a historic figure that surpasses John F. Kennedy and Obama. And Barack Obama. Yeah. Yeah. It's really quite something.

I'm expecting the Nobel Peace Prize nomination at any moment, at any moment. It's been the most amazing transformation of the perception of somebody in world history. I mean, this woman had, was it 28% approval? maybe. I think it was 28% approval. And now she's better than the second coming of Barack Obama. She's the first coming of, I don't know, the angel of light. It's incredible. I don't know, I don't know how this happened. Listen to this. This is the new republic. The division in our country was overcome during her electric speech on Thursday night. largely due to her leadership. So that healed the wounds and the division.

She said, or he said, the writer, for my entire adult life, there have been two Democratic parties. That's true. And listen to this statement. Now there is one. Oh, geez. Mm-hmm.

Wow. That's why Robert F. Kennedy left. There is one. And it is not the one that you remember, not the one that, you know, our grandparents voted for with Roosevelt. Certainly not that John F. Kennedy, would even be welcome in the Democratic Party today. No way, would he?

It's now a party that rhymes with mummunist. Or Kamalaimist. JFK would not recognize this. They continually attach that to Republicans. Oh, Ronald Reagan wouldn't even recognize Republicans. Are you kidding me? This party is so Marxist in the Democrats now that the Communist Party of America

doesn't ever have to come up with a candidate because the Democrats always perfectly acceptable to them. That's how bad it is. They've been endorsing the last few candidates, the Communist Party of America. And they did it with Joe Biden. They did it with Barack Obama. They'll probably do it with Kamala.

Oh, I'm sure they will. I'm sure they will. Between her and Tim Walls, it is the socialist ticket. That's what it is. By the way, it's also the biggest liar ticket I've ever seen. Oh, my gosh. Did you see the latest on Tim Walls? Apparently, on his bio, he years ago put that he was the outstanding young Nebraska. And he was named. He was named. named that by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce. The problem is the Chamber of Commerce, the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce did all their research. They were like, you know, we've looked, you've never received an award from us. I mean, it's incredible. And they came out and said it was a typo.

Yeah. It was a typo? A whole sentence? I have many times in the middle of just paragraphs I'm writing, just wrote that I won an award in Nebraska. Like I just do that all the time. I think almost all of us have at one point or another.

How did that get in that email? I don't even know. I will say, did they start the search for VP saying, can we find someone worse than George Santos? Was that their number one goal here? Because it's incredible every day. There is another story about how this guy made up

another lie about his life. I mean, I guess considering the president is Biden, who also does quite a bit of this thing. Maybe it fits. But I can't believe how many things and how many dumb things there are. Like, who cares if you want to warn from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce? Try this one. Her bio now says her hometown is Oakland.

Oh, yeah. It wasn't. It was Berkeley. Berkeley. You know, and the residents of Berkeley are like, we get it. I mean, we're really known as the communist town. So we see why she would run away and say that it's Berkeley. She never mentioned Berkeley in her speech.

It's not on her bio. But that's where she is. She's not a, quote, daughter of Oakland. Yeah, that's what she calls herself. She's at Berkeley. Yeah. And it was amazing the way the story was written. I think it was the New York Times maybe that wrote that one.

And it's like, it's not, do you believe this terrible lie by this candidate running from their past? It's not that at all. It's like, isn't this adorable? Like, you know, they're super liberal. They know. It's okay because they're fine with it. And everybody's fine with it. I mean, she needs to win.

So if she needs to say Oakland to win, oh, well, what can you do? Like, what? Crazy. You know, and they are just accepting it. I mean, Bill Maher came out, and he was really upset. And he said, I think her not talking to the press is worse.

Try this, Alfred side. Worse than Donald Trump saying the press is an enemy of the people. He's like, they don't, they just don't care.

They won't answer any questions at all. He's like, this is really bad. And yeah. I mean, think of it. Did you see Tom Cotton this weekend?

He was on, talking about this. And one of the, the anchor, I think it was for CBS. John Carl, it was ABC. Oh, it was ABC. And it said, that's not our, that's not her policy.

That's just not her policy. And Tom Cotton said, yes it is. And Carl came out and said, no, no, there was a statement that that's not what she believes in anymore. It came from an unnamed, unknown source in the middle of the night. By the way, she's not for that anymore. Pass it on. Yeah. And Cotton correctly called it out and said, because I think Carl said, you know, she says

she's not for that. And Carl correctly said, no, she doesn't. She has not said that. Where are you getting that from? She has not said that. Because it's true. It's all been just little leaks from like interns that are unnamed. Hey, she now has reversed herself on this.

And it's fascinating to watch how this stuff is treated. In 2019, she came out with a million far left policies that she's now reversed via statement to various news organizations, including the ban on fracking. Yeah, yeah, ban on fracking. Not from her. Not from her. Statements to the media. And the media has dutifully accepted all of those and gone on without asking.

With JD Vance, with Tom Cotton, with Donald Trump, and attacked them for lying about her current position. Like, they've taken the point of defense of these unnamed statements. It's incredible. On the other side of things, Project 2025 is launched by the Heritage Foundation. Donald Trump has nothing to do with it. In fact, publicly denounces it over and over and over again. To the extent they shut the entire program down and fire the guy who's at the head of it.

And after all of that, they're still holding him responsible for Project 2025. Right. It's crazy. He could not be more anti-Project 2020. I actually feel bad for the Heritage Foundation. I do too because there's nothing radically in it. Right. The good faith effort to drop some policies, whether you like them or not.

But like, how can he be held responsible for this? You know what he hasn't done? He hasn't sworn a blood oath. He hasn't cut his wrist, stick his finger into his veins, and then written it out in blood. I don't know. He did take a bullet on stage. He's pretty close to a blood oath. I know.

I know. Isn't that crazy? they are just, it is amazing what they're trying to get away with. And by the way, the House, members of the House now, the Democratic side are all saying, no, Kamala was just throwing things out there when she was talking about, you know, price fixing. That's not, that's not, I mean. Yeah, they're behind the scenes saying that, saying that, like, don't worry about it.

None of this stuff will get past. She's just saying that. It's like, okay, I think that's plausible. It would be very difficult to get that passed, I think, depending on what the makeup of Congress was. And I think it would probably, at least a possibility of the Supreme Court would overturn it even if they did get it passed. But like, why isn't she held responsible for these things? It's incredible. Their goal with 100% certainty is to get her in under any circumstance.

The media will do anything they can to get them in. But what's amazing to me, if you believe in that statement, then why isn't she coming out herself? and saying these reversals. It's like she won't come out on stage and say them. I mean, you shouldn't believe them anyway because of what Stu just said. They will do anything to make sure she's elected. And they'll erase all of her past.

But she's not coming out. It's almost as if she's sitting there going, I'm not saying that. I'm absolutely for that. I'm not saying that. It's the right strategy for them. It is. It's very reminiscent of Biden just running his campaign from his basement in 2020.

I'd argue more extreme. I think it's more extreme than that. I mean, Biden, people are like, oh, he's just staying in the basement. And that's true. But he did do interviews. I mean, you remember him saying, hey, you ain't black if you don't vote for me. Like, those things happened. That was from the basement.

Because he was doing interviews from the basement. At least he was doing something in the basement. She's not even doing that. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Back in a minute. Thank you, Pat Gray from Pat Gray.

Unleashed. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. Concepts like the customer is always right. Used to shape the way we do business. Not anymore. Nope. Companies were not ideological captured by wokeism. And taking care of the customer's needs was more important than showing your leftist credentials. These days, the business world and the tech sector in particular, is morally barren and it wasteland. It is filled with companies that march to the beat of the drums like DEI and companies that have made it very hard for you to spend dollars with them with a good conscience. But every once in a while, if you look at the right place, you'll find a company that still wants to do business the American way. Patriot Mobile, they share your values. And unlike Big Mobile, they won't send your money to plan

parenthood or other leftist causes. Right now, when you make the switch to Patriot Mobile, you're going to get a whole month for free. They're America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company. So join them. Save money. Get the same great service in the coverage. It's patriotmobile.com slash Beck. Patriot mobile.com slash Beck or call 972 Patriot.

972 PatriotMobil.com slash Beck. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Hey, you know, if you are thinking about your home, You might be thinking about some repairs around there. You might be thinking about, I got to get that done. I got to get that done. There's the honey-do list that's 55 miles long. Let me just add one more thing to it.

But this one is easy to do. It's protecting your home's title. And you might think, well, my wife's not going to notice if I protect the home's title. So I'm not going to care about that. And that's a valid point. But I will say this, she's going to care a lot if this thing goes wrong. Because if home title theft happens to you, you're going to be hearing about it all the time.

The withdrawal of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from the presidential race and his endorsement of former President Donald Trump was yet another extraordinary moment in an election that has been anything but predictable. Only a year ago, it would have been unthinkable that a sitting president would effectively be forced off a ticket and replaced by a candidate who did not secure a single vote for president. By the way, this is written by a Democrat. Now the nephew of John F. Kennedy, the son of Robert F. Kennedy, has not just withdrawn from the Democratic Party, but endorsed the Republican nominee. Admitst all the claimed joy of the Democratic National Convention, there is a sobering reality that is being ignored by the ecstatic press and pundits.

It's this. This is how Democrats make Republicans. There's an old expression that a conservative is just a liberal that has been mugged. Kennedy has not become a Republican, but rather joined the roughly half of Americans now identifying as independence. While this country is solidly under the hold of a duopoly of power in the two main parties, only 25% of the country identify as Democrats and 25% as Republicans. I come from a politically active liberal Democratic family in Chicago. I spent much of my life working for liberals since I first came to Washington in 197. 70s. I even worked on the campaign for Ted Kennedy. But the party has changed where they once defended free speech. Democrats have rallied behind censorship and blacklisting of those with opposing views.

They've sought to block dozens of Republicans from ballots, including former President Trump. To make matters worse, they've done so in the supposed name of democracy. These actions were raised by Kennedy in his powerful and poignant withdrawal speech. He detailed how the Democratic Party moved to stop him from running against President Biden in the primary, including efforts to block him from ballots. Ballots, it was an iconic moment. After harassing candidates like RFK and Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips, the Democratic leadership then simply installed their choice at the convention in an unprecedented bait and switch.

there could have been a substantive primary that would expose the diminished mental state of Biden and allowed for a Democratic choice on the best nominee. But instead, the Democrats prevented such choices from being made and selected a leader with all the transparency and deliberation of a party of Congress in China. Kennedy said the Democratic Party has shoved him and voters into the arms of Donald Trump. He said, I began this journey as a Democrat, the party my father, my uncle. I pledged allegiance. But I end as an independent.

They have replaced common sense, honestly, with joy, I guess. It's not going to work for them. We have Jace Medical as our sponsor first. Hey, who doesn't love the bird flu?

So we'll stand by for that. plus so much more on today's program that you just don't want to miss. But first, let me tell you about our sponsor. It's Reagan.

The movie Reagan is coming out. Do you remember what it was like voting for Ronald Reagan? Do you remember how good you felt about that decision? Also, and this is a wild thought, wouldn't it be amazing if you could vote for him again? I would if we could. The movie Reagan is coming out, and you can vote for him again. It's about to hit theaters.

and you could vote for the Gipper at the box office. I have seen this movie. I've seen a rough cut of this movie, very rough, and it's not a good movie. I think it's an amazing movie. Dennis Quaid, when I went, I thought to myself, I don't know if he's going to be able to pull this off. Dennis Quaid is Reagan, really?

He is such a fan of Reagan. He almost didn't take the role because he thought, I'm not going to be able to nail it. He nails Reagan. It is amazing. The look, the sound, the jokes, everything. And Nancy Reagan by Penelope and Miller is a great Nancy Reagan. And it captures what things were like and who that man was and his relationship with his wife.

It's really a time tunnel. And you may not learn a lot. I mean, you will if you haven't studied Reagan. But your kids will, your family will. maybe your neighbors will. Just a different kind of president. See Reagan at Reaganmovie.com. Go to Reaganmovie.com.

Get your tickets now. See Reagan in the theaters. It opens up this week. Get your tickets for Reaganmovie.com. All right. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joins the program now from someplace. Where are you, Robert? I'm in.

up north of Portland, Maine, I'm actually driving up to see Tucker. Oh, okay. North Woods. Yeah, okay. Yeah, it's the way out there. So, Robert, I don't know if you saw my ex-response to you this weekend. I doubt you did, but I... I did.

It was beautifully red, so happy to see that. And I was so happy about, you know, the sympathies and the vision that you had of people coming together in our country and having to understand that people who disagree with you on issues or not, your enemies, they can still be your brothers and sisters. Well, I wanted to ask you, because as I said in that, you know, you don't risk your life for things you don't believe in. And you've had Secret Service pulled from you now by this administration, which I think is reprehensible. how uncomfortable are you with that decision?

I'm okay. I'm going to do what I'm going to do. My life is in God's hands. I'm going to. So I'm okay with, you know, I'm going to do what I'm going to do. I'm going to do whether I have that. I think it's a, the fact that they, that they, that they, they, I would not give me secret service protection for so long. Yeah. It's troubling for our country because it's part of the weaponization of the agencies, the politicization of the agencies. What my father became attorney general in 1961, early 1961,

his first week in office, he called all of the division chiefs, the branch chiefs, the Department of Justice together. And he said, the one thing that we're never going to do is ask if someone if a defendant, potential defendant is Republican or Democrat, the country needs to know that justice is blind, that our institutions are not partisan. And that's what makes America really great is that government is, you know, these institutions are supposed to be purged of political.

Right. Right. But they're not. The reason why I ask you about the Secret Service is you didn't just leave the party and run against Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. Now you've taken the real extremist position to endorse Donald Trump. What pushed you into that move?

What, why, why, what scares you about the Kamala Harris victory that would move you to endorse Donald Trump? Yeah, I mean, our poll, hurting Donald Trump much more than we hurt the Democrats. So our polling consistently showed that about 57% to 60% of our voters would vote for Trump if I left. And so it was odd that President Trump and the Republican Party never really attacked me. And, you know, it was not trying to keep me off ballots. They weren't deploying, you know, private investigators to dig up every piece of third about publicizing,

which is when the Democrats had this, you know, this entire, trying to destroy me, to the character as a statement and to keep me off the ballot. Actually, it was ironic because I actually heard the Trump organization. I heard the Republican Party much more. It's not going to be allowed on the debating stage. And successfully, I gave two live interviews on the major networks in 16 months,

Rossboro had 34 interviews in 10 months. I only had two live interviews on ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN. And so I was not going to be allowed on the debating stage. And that really was my path to victory. I could not talk to most Americans. So it became clear to me that we did not have a clear path to the White House. And that if I stayed in the race that the likelihood was that my president, and the race would get.

Vice President Harris for me is a, if you look at her speech during the Democratic Convention, you know, it was a deep state speech. She had, she was perceives who were speaking at the Democratic election and military officials, and it was a neocon speech.

A more wars, and that is the only policy she's really defined yourself. I think we're so close to World War III right now. We're so close to nuclear change with the Russians. And then the Trump administration, the Trump, we began talking. We had a series of meetings by telephone and in person in Minneapolis and in Marlago. And talked about the things that surprised me that we had in common, that he wants to end the Ukraine or immediately. He wants to protect children's help.

He wants to end the censorship. And those are the three princes that I got in the race. And he asked me, you know, not all. only to join this election, but to help him in his administration to make sure they're able to accomplish some of those goals. That and to start to do a unity party where I would be, we would be able to criticize each other on the issues on which we disagree, but continue to work for greater good on the issues that really unite Americans and that are good for our country.

That's way it should be. So I talked to Don Jr. And he told me that he wanted you to pick a three-letter agency that you could blow up, that you could blow up. Those were his words. Which three-letter agency would you be most inclined to say, President Trump, please, I'd like this agency. Yeah, I mean, you know, we haven't really discussed that. and, you know, there's a number of agencies. I mean, I've talked about reforming many of the agencies

from the CIA to HHS, et cetera, but we're, you know, we're focused on the kind of the larger theme of the administration, which is public health, restoring America's help, make America healthy again. And we've got to, that our country will be unified. when we learn to love our children more than we hate each other, and we're letting our children down now. As you know, Glenn, 60% of them now have chronic disease.

77% of American kids cannot get in the military because of health reasons. And, you know, this is our national security emergency. It's a moral crisis for our nation. We are medicalizing generations. I think your time has come on a lot of this. I think Americans are looking at the processed food and a lot of stuff that the pharmaceutical companies are doing. And, you know, the Wright never looked at that stuff. Ah, big farm, it's a fine.

That's changed dramatically since COVID. And I think people, I mean, I see this happening. with conservatives where they're becoming the, you know, the people that used to be on the, the Democrat side, a little granola and, you know, look, I want to get away from, you know, processed foods. Yeah, you know, it's really funny. The time that I really noticed this change is when Tucker Carlson did a whole show on endocrine disruptors.

Endocrine disruptors are a class of chemicals that interfere with fertility and sexual development. And they're like PCBs and actions seen, and FFOAs, which are flame retardants, which are now ubiquitous in the environment. Even it all show on it, for 30 years, I've been trying to get Republicans to pay attention to this. I've been suing those companies, and only the Democrats would talk about it. And when Dr. Carlson did that, the Democrats reigned wholly hell down on him and said, oh, he's, oh, he's blaming chemicals for turning people gay, which of course he wasn't doing. But they completely ignored the issue, and they turned it into a tribal issue. And, you know, and so now the Democrats are on the other side of that. They're applauding the chemicals in our food.

They're applauding the dominance of pharmaceutical and food, food processing companies that are supposed to regulate them. Right. Instead of the antitoxic problems rather than corporate profit taking in the mercantile interest of these companies that are poisoning the entire nation. You know, I, I'm wondering if you moving over to endorse Donald Trump is going to make regular Democrats, not the crazy Democrats, and the ones, many of them in the administration,

but the average Democrat that loves their country and wants to get along, et cetera, et cetera, I wonder if this is going to be the beginning of a movement and a recognizing of how corrupt and how anti-democratic they are. I mean, what they're doing to Jill Stein and Cornell West, that has nothing to do with the word democracy. The people claiming to save democracy

are doing everything they can to be, you know, almost Putin in the election. Yeah, I mean, you know, the Democratic Party, demos in Greek means people. And so it means a party that trusts the people. and the Democratic Party no longer trust the American people. And that's why they, you know, their big worries about misinformation and disinformation. Well, you know, that's not the government's job.

The government's job is to trust the people and give them all the information they need, but not to start censoring information. And the idea that they now have to censor information is an indicator that they do not trust the people and they don't think their own candidate. They're not letting her talk. Everything is about this ironclad control. They didn't trust the people to vote for their candidates. So they had to get me off the ballot using the judicial system and, you know, and Donald Trump off the ballot using the judicial system. And they're, it's all about a, you know, ironclad control of the outcomes and no longer having any trust in the people of our country.

And it's, you know, there are, there's been a series of political alignments, realigned throughout American history, about four or five big realignments. And one of those is happening right now. It's really interesting to be living through it. And we have kind of a front road seat in it. Yeah. I know this would only be your opinion. It's a little unfair for me.

to ask, but I've often thought that your uncle would not be welcome in this party today, that his views would be, I think, right-ruling extremist to this party today. Do you think your brother and your, sorry, your father and your uncle would be welcome in the Democratic Party today? I don't think so. I mean, both of them, you know, the kind of central. for us of their of of uh of their policy interests was keeping the country out of war my uncle was asked by one of his best friends ben bradley who ran the Washington post what do you

want on your grapes um what do you want is your epithet and he said he he's my uncle immediately said he kept the peace he said the primary job of the president of the united states was to keep the country out of war and he never sent a combat troop abroad during his thousand days in office. My father ran against the Vietnam War and was killed during that election. So those are issues that, you know, both of them died for. And the Democratic Party has now become the Neacom Party. It's become the party of war, the party.

And we're spending twice, in real dollars, we're spending twice on, military, we were at the height of the Cold War. And that money is not being spent for national defense. It's being spent for national, for international domination. And it's not a good policy. It's not working. Well, Robert, I appreciate you pulling off to the side of the road. And I know you've, you've got to get back on the road. So thank you for talking to us. And thank you for your courage. I think your speech on Friday, which CNN broke away from almost immediately. I thought it was very powerful, very powerful. Thank you. Thank you very much. Go ahead. Good to talk. Yeah, bye-bye. Yep. Let me talk to you about Lear Capital. You know, no matter who gets into office,

we have a real problem because of our deficit. We have a real problem because we don't have the credibility we had with the dollar around the world. And you have bricks now coming together trying to stop it. You also have the pressure from China. I don't know if you've seen what China is doing lately, but they are preparing themselves, I think, for war. It truly, truly terrifying. They are cutting us off on essential items. This will not bode well for the United States. Please, because of the terrible mismanagement of our economy, we are facing the loss of the world's reserve currency. So, would you please call today Lear Capital and find out if gold or silver is right for you. It's Lear Capital. They have

thousands of five-star reviews. They've had $3 billion in trusted purchases. So please go to Lear Capital. All you have to do is call them now at 800-957 gold. 8957 gold. Do that today. 800-957 gold. 10 seconds. Station ID. Well, I thought that was fascinating. I thought that RFK coming on and talking about his uncle and his father not being welcomed and the fact that he is recognizing that the Democrats, and I think the Republicans, the old Republicans,

are the same on war. I mean, I used to be a guy who's like, you know, let's go to war. We got to stop them. No, no. we really don't need to bring democracy any place else. People have to earn that themselves. And you and I both have really changed in the war department. Wouldn't you agree? I think so. Yeah. You know, certainly the parties have been seemingly switching on that topic. I mean, I think what you've said before

is maybe the biggest part of that interview where he, you know, he's been accused of abandoning what his family believed and I think he sees it the exact opposite way with a lot of evidence. A lot of evidence. Yeah. Yeah. And he compiled some of it. All right. We want to talk about freedom of speech.

There was the arrest of the CEO of Telegram. This is a free speech flashpoint. This might be a problem down the road. And also Democrats threatening Elon Musk with. the same treatment. We'll give that to you in a minute. Glenn. You know, I have a German shepherd, Uno,

and he's probably going to be our last dog because they are just so heartbreaking. You know, every 10 to 12 years, we lose a dog, and it's just so heartbreaking to lose them. And we want Uno to live as long as possible. He is slowing down so much now. But he's 13.

I think that's the oldest. that we've had any German Shepherd. And he doesn't have the pain in his hips, or maybe it's just starting, I'm not sure. But I just love him. I just love him. And I want the best for him. And that's why when we feed him,

we put on the food, we sprinkle on rough greens, which is something that we know. We brought to the vet and said, is this good to put on his food? And she read all the ingredients. She's like, are you kidding me? If you can get your dog to eat this,

this is fantastic. Well, he loves it, and most dogs do. But they want to make sure your dog loves it just as much as Uno. They'll send you a free trial bag.

Well, yesterday's another step was taken towards totalitarianism that is a, little frightening for anybody who's paying attention. Telegram was founded in 2013 by a Russian entrepreneur. His name is Pavel Durov. It is now one of the world's largest communication tools. It's a little like signal to where you can communicate with each other with encryption. And it is central to everyday life in places like Russia, Ukraine, India. In fact, Russia has had a problem because Ukrainians are using that, I believe, for military. And so it's, you know, keeping things, it's allowing them to communicate with each other. But it wasn't Putin that arrested the entrepreneur and the CEO of Telegram.

It was France. Now, I am, I don't even know what. to say. When they said a few weeks ago, when that official said, I'll come after Elon Musk, you know, no matter where you are, we'll get you. That was a real problem. And then they said, well, that was just a guy who he went rogue. That was that really wasn't for a Musk. I didn't believe it at the time and I certainly don't believe it now. So they became, they went after this guy, he comes into France and they arrest him. Okay, well, that's a, that's really kind of really not helpful here. So the Russian embassy in Paris is demanding that the French government

explain itself and, you know, I guess they are. Duroff was detained by the national anti-fraud office over the alleged facilitation of various crimes including terrorism, narcotics, trafficking, and fraud. On his platform, he allowed an incalculable number of offenses and crimes to be committed for which he did nothing. So, wait, so he's an accomplice to all of those things? Is that what you're saying, France? Now, this has you know,

disturbed a lot of people. The head of Rumble said, I'm a little late to this, but for good reason, I've just safely departed from Europe. France has threatened Rumble, and now they've crossed a red line by arresting Telegram's CEO,

reportedly for not censoring speech. Rumble will not stand for this behavior. Well, Elon Musk is also very concerned. Elon Musk. tweeted out yesterday, it is vital to the support of free speech that you forward X posts to people you know, especially in censorship-heavy countries.

So he's saying they're going to be hidden. If you see a tweet, you've got to send it yourself. This is what I've been talking to you about the blaze. We are going to be censored, and we already have been censored so much, and suppressed so much. You know, we're having, again, last year was a great year for us. This year, we're breaking all kinds of records,

better than when we were at Fox, bigger impact than when we were at Fox. It's really quite astonishing, especially when you look at our Facebook numbers, we're losing people on Facebook. We can't get any traction. on Facebook. Why is that, do you suppose?

Because they're silencing the vote. They're silencing the voice during the vote. That's exactly what's happening. And it's only going to get worse. Alexander Vindman, do you remember him, Stu? What is he best known for? He was the guy who was calling out Trump, right? Was he the...

He wasn't the whistleblower, was I? He was, he was. Okay. He was the guy who said, you know, I was listening in to that perfect phone call with Ukraine. And he said, you know, I want you to root out all that corruption and look into Joe Biden. And under oath, he said, well, he didn't actually say that, but, you know, it was inferred. Oh, okay. By whom? you? So this guy is, I think, just a really bad guy. He came out and said, while Dhrov holds French citizenship,

he's being arrested for violating French law. This is broader implications for social media, including Twitter. There's a growing intolerance for platform disinformation and malign influence. And there's a growing appetite for accountability. Musk should be a friend. That's a threat. That's a threat. There's a growing intolerance for platforming disinformation. Really? Not with the American people. With the elite ruling class, yes, there is. A growing appetite for accountability. So what? We're going to put people in jail? Huh. And why is, why is Elon Musk the target here. Why is that?

Why are you going after him? And not Zuckerberg, who we found out from CBS News and 60 Minutes this weekend, that, you know, New Mexico, the AG there, again, is accusing META of failing to address child exploitation. I mean, really, really bad things are happening on Instagram and Facebook. And Zuckerberg is already, I mean, they know how to fix this, but he doesn't want to hurt the advertising revenue. And so your kids are being served up horrible, horrible things. Horrible things. Yeah, go ahead. Let's play the sound on this.

Facebook and Instagram. New Mexico's attorney, John. is accusing the social media giant and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, of enabling child sex abuse and trafficking on its sites. CBS News, senior business and technology correspondent, Jo Lincent, reports on the undercover investigation that used AI. It was shocking, quite frankly, to see the explosion of sexual interest in these kids almost immediately.

New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torres says his investigation into meta found that Facebook and Instagram's algorithms created a marketplace for the sexual exploitation of children. The civil lawsuit alleges meta-enabled adults to find, message, and groom minors soliciting them to sell pictures or participate in pornographic videos. Law enforcement set up an undercover operation using test accounts like this one, showing AI-generated photos of a fictional 13-year-old girl from Albuquerque. The complaint says followers flooded the account with unsolicited mess. messages filled with pictures and videos of genitalia, which she received at least three to four times per week.

You know, we are sitting here and they're talking about mis and disinformation, while our children are being abused in schools by Facebook, Instagram. They're concerned about misinformation. That is the biggest problem we have is misinformation. So they'll go after Elon Musk. Why not go after Sky News? Listen to this report. Cut 13.

Listen to this report about, well, a mostly peaceful riot. Listen to this. Last hour, they've given us an update that they've made 38 arrests and recovered four knives. And they said a man believed to be in his 20s has been stabbed. His injuries are not life-threatening. But overall, it's been a really peaceful and enjoyable. date. It ends up that there were four people stabbed.

Okay, 36 arrests. Like three people in the hospital. But other than that, it's been just a mostly peaceful event. That's like saying, you know, yes, the bomb was dropped in Hiroshima and all these people died and left, you know, their shadows burned on the sun. sidewalks. But other than that, it was a beautiful day. It was really a beautiful day. Sun was so bright. Yeah. Temperatures were, you know, in the 70s. If you exclude that 5,000 degree time period. It really bumps up the average, which is unfortunate. Yeah. I mean, it's,

it's incredible, just incredible. And we're starting to see more and more people now we're seeing it in Europe, but we're also seeing it here where people are realizing their rights are going away. I don't know if you saw this surfer that was arrested in New Jersey. He was crossing a beach to get to the ocean because he was going to surf. But you have to have a beach badge to be able to be on the beach. So he's got his surfboard and he's walking towards the ocean. and he stopped by a cop.

Listen to this. Cut now. You're not free to leave. You're not free to leave. You are. And you take another step. You'll be arrested. I promise you.

I promise you. Because I'm surfing? Yeah. Just come here. No. You can talk to Harry Hartson about this. Talk to whoever you want about it. Talk to me right now.

I'm not doing anything wrong. I mean the ocean. Okay. Went out of the beach, though. So we need your information. Because I'm not on the beach. You're allowed to access the water to surf. or to push. You are? Yes. And you don't need a beach patch for that.

You need a beach page. You get out to this beach. This is a free beach. This is a free beach. I'm not going to argue with you. You're going to provide your name information? No. I'll play after this transaction is done, I'll email you a free access law and I'll also email you Title 40, which regulates the municipalities to charge for the beach. Okay. Okay. Okay. Time for time meeting. We need your information. No. Okay. 726 to 5-5-5-0. So he's, you're not free to go. I'll be out on this.

one's do he's being arrested because he wouldn't provide his information you're illegally arresting you're a lot of right what you know what do you know what do you're going to be a little charge put your hands behind your back no sir what did I do wrong what did I do This is in New Jersey. This is in New Jersey. In America, you don't say papers, please. No, I don't have to give you any information. No. I'm going to arrest you unless you give me the information. No. You can be in the water without a beach pass. You can fish and you can surf. Yes, but you can't walk across the beach to get there. well, what am I going to do?

Take a helicopter over the beach. I mean, this is not America. It is not. And that's incredibly disturbing. And how many of these things have happened, right? I mean, this was happening all throughout the COVID period, where they were arresting people for going on the beaches. And happening to people, 90-year-old people who are praying in front of an abortion clinic.

Yeah. You know, getting literally getting 10 years in prison. It's insanity. I know you've been covering the people who are on the world who have been arrested for tweets. Yes. Arrested for just, you know, emails they've sent with words they're not supposed to say. Now, some of that stuff is not covered, I guess, by their constitution. Certainly is covered by ours.

And I think the freedom of movement is something that's pretty fundamental to the United States of America. It's pretty remarkable. All right. Back in just a minute. Now, let's say you're an emergency situation. You have to protect yourself or your family from somebody dangerous. You're driving down the street and a bunch of knotheads are in front of you. And you're, you know, I know that your instinct would be, I'm just going to drive through them.

But then you're in trouble and you, you know, you don't want to pull a gun because that's worse.

I don't think I've ever had my son Rafe on the show before. but he's up in Washington, D.C. He was with the families of the fallen military at the Abbey Gate. It's the anniversary of the Afghanistan withdrawal and the chaos there. So he was with the families today because I couldn't make it. And they just laid a wreath with Donald Trump. We're going to probably check in with him and see what that felt like.

But it's a remarkable anniversary to Mark. I mean, it's, it's, you know, it was three years ago. We got on the air and said, this has got to stop. It's got to stop. And we were the ones that flew most of the people out. the government worked against us. And it was our people at the Abbey Gate. It was people that had been removed from one of our flights before.

And they were in, you know, flight for their life. The Taliban now knew who they were because the State Department gave them all the information. And they were pressed up against that Abbey Gate. And that was our plane load of moms and kids and friends. families that were blown up. And then Biden doesn't even recognize the families. It's really a, it was a dark day, a really dark day, but Trump is at least marking it with the laying of the wreath for those soldiers with their families today. The Glenn Beck program.

the third anniversary of the Afghan withdrawal and the loss of life and the Taliban taking all of our equipment and taking the country over.

Well worth it, huh, gang? My son is in Washington, D.C. He's representing the family. He was with the president today laying a wreath at the fallen soldiers memorial. And he's going to talk to us about that coming up in just a second. Also, the Pentagon was, you know, insisting that there was no chaos on the ground.

It's absolutely fine. Well, unfortunately, some memos have been unearthed that show that the administration was doing everything they could to lie to the American people about what was really going on. You think? We'll start there in 60 seconds. Stand by. So I've been aware of the good that American financing is doing in people's lives for a long time now.

Call them today. It won't take you long. It'll take you max 10 minutes, but you'll be glad you did.

So the Biden Pentagon was insisting that the withdrawal wasn't chaotic, but through Freedom of Information Act, we finally have the emails that were going to Kirby. And he was receiving brief from diplomats and military officials, they're on the ground that were frantic to, quote, stabilize the crisis, particularly at the Kabul airport where the evacuations of Americans were taking place.

Remember that it was, no, it went as planned. There was no chaos. Even as people were falling from the sky, as they were holding on to the tires of U.S. airplanes, they were telling us there wasn't a problem. We know that. But there's just another example of them asking you, telling you to not believe your eyes. Meanwhile, the Taliban on the third anniversary, they are ruling Afghanistan. And they're really great. They just

banned women's voices and bare faces in public. So that's that's good, I guess, huh? I mean, banning their voices in public? Holy cow. What did we fight for? What did we go over for? These were the bad guys. And we just handed it to them again.

If you remember the Abbey Gate, the Abbey Gate was protected by our boys. And I know because our people were talking to them shortly before the gate was blown up and they all lost their lives. They were trying to get somebody to allow the people

that we had on a plane. The State Department took off of our plane. They then handed all of their documents to the Taliban at the, airport. We got those guys away from the Taliban as fast as we possibly could, told them, hide, come back tomorrow, we'll tell you when. They were at the gate. They were the people that were blown up. And so were our Marines. Let me give you one of the parents speaking about this during a Fox News interview. Abby Gate parents.

Has anyone reached out to you from the administration? This is three years now. Hey, we messed this up. Biden and Harris, no. Of course they have not. They want this step under the rug. They want us to go away. Unfortunately, for them, we're not going away. We do know that, you know, Millie has reached out to us. But as far as the Biden administration, no, they haven't and they won't. If you remember, let me remind you because the press won't,

Kamala Harris was deeply involved in the planning and execution of this. let me take you back to an interview with CNN in 2021. You just made a really big decision. Afghanistan. Yes. Were you the last person in the room? Yes. And you feel comfortable.

I do. And I'm going to add to that. This is a president who has an extraordinary amount of courage. Wow. That's what you were talking. in 2021 by Kamala Harris. She was the last person in the room and she was comfortable with all of the decisions and Biden was very brave. Well, my son, who I don't think has ever been on the air with me before, is in Washington, D.C. He's representing our family that couldn't be there to lay a wreath

with the president. Rave, how are you? Well, I got to say this is the oddest one-on-one time I've ever had with you, but I'm good. So you were, where? Was it at Arlington? Yes, it is. We, I'm currently still at Arlington, the Memorial. We were there at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. And, I mean, it was, it was peaceful and beautiful, the, the ceremony with the families,

just spending time with them. Did you get a chance to talk to them? I did. I went up and I was able to just express my gratitude to their lost and loved ones who sacrificed and unfortunately lost their lives in service of freedom and true freedom. And wanting to share that with not just other Americans and in defense of this country, but with the rest of the world who and I just was. touched to hear to talk to them today.

Well, I'm glad you were there and had a chance to tell them that our family supports them. And I think we're going to see them. Are they not, they're coming down to Dallas? Are they coming to Utah, I think we're going to be doing an interview with all of them? I don't know if you've heard any of that. I believe they're coming out to Utah for that interview. Okay. That's all I've heard about it, though.

Okay. Well, thank you, Rave. What did you learn today? That good people, they tend to go really unnoticed, walking through the cemetery here and up to the tomb and watching the ceremony, Just the deeds of everyday people who risk so much just for stuff that we take for granted every day. And it really puts things into perspective what we have here.

And not just with our country, but with our family. I mean, how many the people in listening to them. I mean, there were tears, yes, but there was also some happy moments and remembrance of family. All right, buddy. Have a safe travel back. God bless you. I love you. Okay.

Bye-bye. I want to spend just a minute to thank you for what you did all those years ago, three years ago. We just had a board meeting with Mercury. everyone and we are hoping to be out of Afghanistan by the end of this year. I believe we are the only NGO, if you will, that is still in Afghanistan. But there are still people there that we have made promises to and we won't leave until they leave. but we are still on the ground in Afghanistan, and that is all thanks to you.

I can't imagine what it is like for our operatives to be in that country and in and out of that country, covertly. But I thank them, and I thank you for making it possible. Also, this week, I'm going to be up in Washington, D.C. My son's actually going back with me. to Washington. We're going to be at the Moms for Liberty Summit.

And I'm one of the keynotes. It's me and, oh, and Tulsi Gabbard and the president. He's going to be speaking. It's the annual summit for Moms for Liberty. And that is happening this Friday. And then Saturday is the March for Children. And I would love to see you there. I'd love to have you in attendance.

We're marching for children to the altar of liberty, if you will. The Jefferson Memorial. And it's kind of a hard memorial to get to. It's not the easiest one. But it is one of the most profound ones. He was religious freedom. He was freedom of speech. He was the guy who wrote the Declaration of Independence.

And it is time that we stop this independence movement where the state is saying you're independent of your parents. And you could come on over here and we'll be mom and dad for you. No, no. Somebody's got to stand for our kids in school. Somebody's got to stand for our kids in the hot. Somebody's got to stand for our kids when it comes to pedophilia, drag queen shows. Somebody's got to stand for our children. So March for Children.

It is in Washington, D.C. at the Jefferson Memorial on Saturday, and we invite you to go. All you have to do is go to Moms for Liberty, momsforliberty.org, and find out all of the information. and I'll see you in Washington, D.C. this weekend. All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's international support for Israel with Jews and Christians. This is something that I think is so profoundly good. You know, we cannot, we can't ask for God's help if we're not doing everything we can,

to live by his rules. And we have to be people of merit. And, you know, he's very clear. Those who bless Israel will be blessed. Those who don't, you know, some trouble coming our way. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the forefront of helping the Jewish nation to be able to just survive what the world does.

We're partnering with them today, and it's life-saving donations that you could make. You'll help provide emergency food as well as critical security needs, things like flack jackets, firefighting equipment, armored vehicles, bomb shelters. And this is for the civilians. It's not for the military. Please help the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They're asking 500 of my listeners to join the fellowship and me by donating $150 to meet these urgent security. needs. And thanks to a generous

IFCJ supporter, your gift is going to be matched, so it'll double the impact. Call to make your gift right now. 888-48-48-8-8-48-8-8-48-8-8-48- I-C-J. 10 seconds, station ID. So, I know I believe Boeing

when they say, no, no, no, everything is fine. I believe Boeing, their new Starliner is the the future. I believe NASA when they said, no, they're just doing some extra, they decided to stay a little longer. Really? It had nothing to do with, you know, Boeing almost killing all of the people on board of their new Starliner. No, no, uh-uh. It has nothing to do with that. And they've decided now to stay until March. This was an eight-day mission, and now they're staying until March

Why? Well, I mean, they just love it up there in the first place. The food is really delicious, I hear. But that and SpaceX, that damn Elon Musk can't get his dragon capsule up there to bring them home until March. Isn't it just like Elon Musk's to, to screw this up? To make those poor Boeing astronauts stay up there until March? That's bastard. You can't anything to further his own interests. I'll tell you that. Yeah, there he goes again. It's amazing. Imagine how hard it must be for the government to admit they have to rely on Elon Musk, even in this situation.

Not to mention how damaging it is to Boeing. I mean, you've mentioned this before, but it's like this is an American institution that has crumbled to the ground in front of our eyes. It is sad. I remember. I remember when they launched the new spacecraft, the Starliner, and I thought, boy, there better not be a challenger thing happened with this thing, or they're done. You said that.

And what happens? They get stuck in space. It's unreliable. They're not sure that it won't burn up on reentry. Yeah. And you could see, look, you can understand from NASA's perspective, obviously if they allow them to come back down on this thing. And there's a problem. They're going to look really, really bad.

So I can understand them trying to do everything they can to go with a more reliable partner. But, you know, the fact that Boeing, this is Boeing. This is like a Kleenex type of brand in this country, right? Like it is American aviation. That is what Boeing stands for. And apparently no longer. It's just incredible. and the way Boeing, have you noticed Boeing is just kind of dropped out of the news?

Well, except for this. Yeah, except for this. But I mean, but I haven't heard anybody saying, well, there goes Boeing. I haven't heard that. It's been, it's not like when they were in trouble because, you know, doors were falling off their airplanes. And this is a pretty big one. You launched people into space and you can't bring them home. That's the former Soviet Union kind of stuff.

That's what Trump means by Make America Great Again. I don't know. Let's have our, you know, our beloved American companies not go down the crap hole for DEI. What do you say? What do you say? I mean, maybe it's just me. Do you buy any of their pushback on this that basically, like this was, it was advertised as a test flight? They said that.

Flying through space is difficult. There's no doubt about it. It's the first time they've ever put a capsule up there with people on it. And like they didn't blow up, right? They had a couple of thrusters that went out that, you know, a little helium leak. Well, I remember when the government, which screws up everything, I remember the government when they put John Glenn up in that first space capsule. I remember when he couldn't come back. Oh, no, wait.

The government did it, but Boeing can't. Oh, my God. But I mean, Elon Musk obviously had a ton of efforts blow up on the way, you know, like, I mean, this is not an easy thing to do. They failed a bunch of times, too. This is their first manned space flight. This is, I mean, again, I'm just parroting their PR department here. I'm not necessarily making this argument myself. But, I mean, there is, it is obviously a really hard thing to do.

Very few people have been able to achieve it. and it's not like it did blow up. They think, I mean, Boeing straight out believes there's no problem here that they should be able to come back at this thing. NASA is, I'm saying NASA is being overprotective. Oh, are they? Or is it maybe the astronauts going, I'm not getting into that damn thing. By the way, speaking of the government ruining everything, Ford has admitted now that the strategy of embracing hybrids over fully electric cars. will now cost the company as much as $1.5 billion in additional expenses.

The Ford EV Division is on pace to lose as much as $5.5 billion this year. Oh, well, you know, this is great. I am so happy with this Green New Deal and DEI. man, it's working out well, isn't it? All right, sometimes the answer to your problem that you're dealing with is staring you right in the face. Either don't notice it or you've been ignoring it all along. If you're one of those people who lived with frequent or even constant pain, you might have gotten to that point where you just kind of accept how life is.

It's never going to get any better. I know I was there, but I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be that way. The answer may be right in front of you right now. It was for me. It was called Relief Factor. I listen to the commercials every day and I was like, yeah, I'm not going to try that. It doesn't, I'm sure it doesn't work for me. Why? That was my argument. My wife made. Why wouldn't you just try it? I don't know because it's not going to work.

This is a trivia question that only the deepest of fans and maybe one, or two people on my staff could ever answer, who is the program director for the Glenn Beck program? If you ever in, you know, some sort of, you know, trivial pursuit with us, uh, the answer would be Dom Theodore. And Dom is on the phone with us right now. He's also a Michigan resident. And he has been, and his County have been fighting this giant EV battery plant with a, with a company that has ties to the CCP. In fact, I think it's not, that's not even fair to say it has ties. It is the CCP, is it not?

It's subsidized by the CCP, and they just declared that in a fairer filing just a few weeks ago. Really? So they finally admitted it after lying all this stuff. All right. So we've talked about this before in the past. And the reason why I'm talking to you today is you've got a couple of the things that are good news, but also J.D. Vance is doing a rally at the farm where you guys first had the rally, right, to say, save this farm from China. The farm is right across the street from the proposed site. And this has been sort of ground zero in the battle. It's the majestic. for Regents horse farm. And we do indeed have Senator Vance coming in tomorrow at a big rally there and we want to invite everyone to attend. And you know, Glenn, how this got started, it was really

Goshen being caught in another lie that drove this. Because just a few weeks ago, President Trump was speaking in Grand Rapids and made some remarks about returning jobs to America and bringing jobs back from China. Goshen, in their arrogance, puts out a press release claiming that somehow President Trump supported Goshen. Well, this is where President Trump's mean tweets come in handy, because just a couple of weeks later on truth social this past week, he, of course, addressed that and said, no, I don't support this. This is bad for Michigan. It's going to put our little community here in Michigan under the thumb of the CCP. in Beijing. And so, you know, thankfully, President Trump came and cleared that up really quick.

And then on top of it, that helped us secure this rally tomorrow with J.D. Vance. So we're excited to have him here. And we want to make sure that, you know, that the place is packed. We really want to show Goshen that, you know, how much Michigan doesn't want them here. And so this is at the Majestic for Regions Horse Farm. The address is 21750-19-mile and Big Rapids. If you want more information, we have posted the link, and you can also register. It's not required, but we like people to register for headcount. And that can be found on our website, protect macosta, M-E-C-O-S-T-A.org. So if any of the listeners will want to join us tomorrow.

Doors open at 10.30, and Senator Vance will be speaking around 1.30, but we'd love everyone to, we want a big showing tomorrow, Glenn, to really, really bring home the message that the CCP is not welcome here. Let me just use the world's most expensive paging system to say, Ricky, Ricky, will you just tweet that out for me? The address and all of the information. All right. So that's just so she can hear me down the hall. Anyway, so do you think you're winning on this? Well, I can tell you this.

We had some really good news in the last few months. I think the last time we spoke to you and I about this was when we were going into the election, the recall elections. And I'll have you know, we won every one of the recalls in the last cycle. And we picked, you know, there were two seats that were. were ineligible for recall in the last election. Well, in the August primaries, we actually picked up another seat in Green Charter Township. So we have a supermajority there. And we ran candidates, no-Ghocin candidates against all of the county commissioners. And I'm proud to say that we have now a majority of the Macawka County Commission as well. In many cases, in most of these elections,

the primary is the general because they're all Republicans. That's the irony of this. They're all things called Republicans. You know, the other thing I want to mention, Glenn, we talk about this often. You speak of this all the time. God stepped in. When you look at the number of people, the talent that have come together in this cause, it's amazing.

And the fact, you know, that I happen to live here and I work for you, you know, I mean, this has brought us so much access to. so many things, and that's God. You know, my friend Ormond Hook, who you met a while ago, he's helped us, you know, fight this battle. He's been one of the leaders as well. And, you know, he likes to say it like this. They chose to mess with the wrong rednecks.

God, you know, has brought together an amazing collection of talent here to fight this battle. And, you know, it's just an awesome thing to see. when you see it in action. And you know, you've always said that the solution is going to be divine intervention. Well, we've seen it in this case. There's no question. His fingerprints are all over this. And it's awesome to see.

Tom, it's always great to talk to you. Thank you so much. That's tomorrow in Macosta County, Michigan. It is to stop the CCP from coming into this town and literally, In their bylaws, they are trying, they will have classes to recruit people into the Communist Party. I mean, it's really a remarkable thing that, you know, these commissioners thought that they could get by their own town. But this is what it really looks like when you take control of your country again. You just start with your commissioners and your city council and you flip the,

that you start with your school board and you flip it that's how real change is going to happen it's going to happen from the bottom up never the top down uh dom thanks god bless you uh so uh so stew i read a story today and uh i just thought it was important to to share uh Tiffany Santos she's 27 years old and she's now going to the gun range to make sure that she can protect herself. And she's, I don't know, do you know Tiffany Santos? She's an influencer. I do not. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, she's taking up shooting lessons to protect herself against men who are really unable to resist her undeniable beauty. Oh, no. She said, yeah, she said in an interview, being too beautiful brings a lot of risks. Being too pretty shouldn't be a curse, but unfortunately it is. And I read that this morning and I thought, boy, I can relate. And I'm right there with you.

Wait, what? You can relate to what? Yeah. No, being too good looking, Stu is just a curse. It really is. It really is. I've lived with my whole life. And, you know, that's why I carry a gun. It's why Tiffany carries a gun.

Can you imagine say that about yourself? Yeah. You know, I have to carry a gun because I'm too beautiful. It is just a curse. Legitimately like, don't hate me because I'm beautiful. It is really that in real life. It's literally that in real life. It's just exactly that in real life.

Yeah. It's just a curse that I bear. You know, that and my humility. Everybody recognizes me for my beauty and my humility. And it's just really tough on me. All right. Our sponsor this half hour is LifeLock. Did you know that last year alone,

the Glenn Beck program will be right back there's something else here now something new from exclusively on Paramount Plus it's the series Stephen King calls scary as hell everything here is impossible

but it's also real sci-fi vision calls it the best show streaming right now We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules. Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch. Saving those children is how we all go home. From binge all episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

I just want to remind you that China is cutting off our military from key mineral. We can't do it for ourselves because, well, the red tape. you know, the environmentalists, all of that. So we can't get this mineral that we need to make critical, you know, military weapons. And they're just cutting us off. But I'm sure that's nothing. I'm sure that's no big deal. By the way, did you see in Kansas that a court has just said that illegal machine guns, not so illegal.

They said that ban on machine guns is unconstitutional. there was a woman who was charged with possessing a machine gun and the judge said, no, uh-uh. So she's home. I think it's blatantly unconstitutional. I think it's the entire time it's been unconstitutional. There was a case about three or four years ago in Texas where they tried to do the same thing and did not wind up working out.

I mean, it just seems like they've just drawn this line of, well, we don't really want those guns. So therefore, they're unconstitutional. constitutional. It's constitutional to prevent them. That's not how it works. I don't think of it. It started with it started with the gangsters in Chicago, you know, the same Valentine's Day Massacre and Al Capone. You know, they had machine guns and everybody was like, oh my gosh. And Hoover, one of the great constitutional minds of the last century. You know, he got everybody together to ban them, just a fight crime. And it kind of stuck. stuck. Yeah, there's this weird thing that wound up being a positive ruling generally for the Second Amendment, which was, you know, you're able to maintain a firearm for personal defense

in private ownership, which happened. What was that? 2008, 2009. But in there was this weird, I'll never understand how it actually works, but it's this sort of common use idea that if it's a gun is in common use, then it's okay. Which doesn't make any sense because obviously every new gun, for example is not in common use yet so you automatically could theoretically be banned there's so many holes in the and it's so circuitous in the way they come

around trying to justify why it's okay to ban machine guns and not other weapons and you can you imagine how the left's head will explode if this stands their head will explode

yeah by the way another part of this is it seems, you know, I've seen multiple examples of this, you know, where they test these weapons. And what they find is that people are far more accurate with guns that aren't machine guns. So people trying, you know, it's much harder to hit individual targets and you wind up just wasting a bunch of bullets if you're trying to hit them. Now, again, like, I understand the arguments against them. I understand how politically harming it would be to a party arguing for this. It

would not be easy. Yeah, I know. It would be, no. Luckily, we are not in the position to try to get, to need to get elected so we can just actually stick by the Constitution. Right. Right. I'm sorry. That's what the Constitution says. I mean, it's pretty clear. The Second Amendment is clear that you can't just make these sort of determinations. And we keep trying to find this weird middle ground where we're actually for the Second Amendment, but we're not going to allow machine guns. It doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. No. But, uh, uh, You know, from the other side, are we, you know, are we responsible enough?

Because this is where, you know, this whole system, yeah, this whole system breaks down if you're not a moral group of people, you know. Capitalism will give you drugs and pornography and everything bad if that's what you as a people want. The invisible hand of the market will come and choke you to death if that's what you want. and it and it does and freedoms to have guns that's a huge responsibility and luckily there are enough people that own I mean there are 300 million plus weapons in our country that are legal you know and you're not seeing everybody go and taking those and using them it's the it's the criminals that are using them and the good news is do I guess this is good news looks like knife deaths are on the rise in places like New York.

So it's not the guns. The migrants can't get their hands on guns. They can only do knives. So they're just killing people with knives. I will say it's breaking news to me, if that's true, that migrants are not able to get guns because they seem to be able to get plenty of them and bring them across the border with them. But I will say, if you remember the words of scholar,

Al Sharpton, who once said that you, well, what will happen if people start killing people with knives? He said, then we'll ban the knives. That was his. Amen. He did. So, amen. Get ready to cut that steak with a spoon because that's on the other side. We are going to, well, not a spoon.

It'll be more of a spork. Oh, okay. Because you can gouge people's eyes out with a spoon. So, by the way, and our thoughts are with Anthony Fauci, who's just gone home from the hospital where he had West Nile virus. He's going to make a full recovery, and I'm actually sincerely happy to hear that, because I want him at tip-top health while we try him and throw him in prison. Maybe that's just me.

No? Okay, good. It's definitely not just you. There's a lot of support in this country for that particular initiative. We will see you tomorrow. God bless.
